Prologue:
Despite the defying odds of atmospheric turbulence and the unknown effects of the radiation, the Away Team has managed to make their way to the planet.  But once down on the planet they are attacked by a group of locust that sting the XO, causing a toxic allergic reaction.
 
In an attempt to save the XO, the doctor requests they both be beamed directly to sickbay.  The doctor is beamed to sickbay, but a transporter malfunction causes the XO's bio-signature to be lost.  Now the crew must face the daunting reality that their XO is gone.
 
To make matters worse, the Triton has lost communications with the Away Team due to storms.  Will the Captain risk sending another shuttle down to the planet?
 
What mysteries will the Away Team uncover as they look for clues of the disappearing scientists?  What caused the transporter malfunction on the ship, and why was one crew member safely transported, but another lost?  And will the crew of the Triton be able to rescue their AT before something else happens?
 
Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in … “Viva Forever” … Chapter Three … “Tinkerbelle .. with an attitude” … Stardate 10606.15

CEO_Randolph says:
::enters the TL and orders it express to engineering::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::activates the console:: FCO: Here we are. ::looks for blueprints of the base and for a log left by the scientists::
 
ACTION:  OPS's console lights begin to blink and a little blue transparent insect appears to come out of the console and heads for the Captain, hovering around his head and pecking at him.  It then flies toward the CTO and disappears into his console.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*MO*: And who does it say is on it?  :: growls about hating doctors ::

CEO_Randolph says:
Self: This is not happening.  Not again please no more.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Sir, I think we have bugs in the system.

MO_Payne says:
*CO*: Good question..... ::examines biobed::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Anything on the tricorder yet? Any life signs?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:

CEO_Randolph says:
::slides into engineering just in time to see EO Jones jump like a cat scratched him::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Sir, it crawled out of my console, and flew past the Captain and into the CTO's console.

CEO_Randolph says:
EO Jones: What the devil are you doing?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: pulls his phaser::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Can you describe it?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
Aloud: First hamsters now bugs, is this a Starfleet vessel or Noah's ark
 
ACTION:  The CEO's bird, Tar'lak mysteriously beams to the Bridge and starts squawking around.  He lands on OPS's shoulder and looks at the OPS console and then looks OPS in the eyes squawking loudly.  He then hops on his console, and leaves a large dodo-sized doo-doo on OPS's console.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::goes over his and CSO's tricorder:: CSO: I got something up not sure what it is yet
 
@ACTION:  There are tons of empty shells about 6 inches in diameter lying all over the floor and desks.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::swats the bird hard::

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks for Tar'Lak::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#*CO*: Sir....I'm getting a strange image here.  It appears to be old Earth Morse code.  An SOS...

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Agreed get that feathered thing off my bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Not sure the tricorder is having a hard time reading it

:: turns to the CO :: CO: Captain, this is getting out of hand!

CEO_Randolph says:
*CO*: This is getting out of hand.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Can you detect its source?
 
@ACTION:  A huge spider about the size of a guinea pig crawls out from under the desk and heads toward the FCO.  He has fangs and venom is pouring out of them.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::attempts to catch the bird::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@draws his phaser and aims at the spider, then shoots::

MO_Payne says:
::smells the air::

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks in disbelief::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CTO: Commander, you heard the Captain. Get force fields in place and transport inhibitors online.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to roll away from the spider::

CEO_Randolph says:
ALL: I don't give a damn how you do it but get this ship in control.  All teams move out.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::returns to his seat::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#*CO*: It's been a long time since my academy code class....but it looks like it says...wait a minute...it says SAM!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
Self: the CEO and I are going to have a talk about animals.

CEO_Randolph says:
::picks up Tar'Lak and places him on her  shoulder and grabs a toolkit and heads for the main control board::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Assist Chief Ray.
 
@ACTION:  The phaser blast kills the spider, and twelve more little spiders come crawling out of her and scatter throughout the lab.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Aye sir
 
#ACTION:  The CIV's shuttle starts to experience some rough turbulence.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@AT: Watch out everybody, those spiders look dangerous. ::offers his hand to Mark. FCO: I found something interesting here.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Commander I am in no mood for jokes, what is the source of the signal?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:taps console madly::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::tracks down where it is coming from:: *CO*: It seems to have been programmed into the Oracle's system...::curses as she is thrown about:: Stand by...hitting some rough turbulence...

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::quickly gets back to his feet:: CSO: Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?

CEO_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir some how we have picked up something like a possible virus that is hauntingly reminding me of those miserable creatures we had a while back./
 
ACTION:  Music begins piping through the Triton's communications system.  The theme song from Captain Cat Caitian begins to play.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Mark don't tell me I hate those critters too. Dang planet.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Thanks, what did you find? ::pulls out his phaser::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: rushes to the operations console again and tries to shut off the music ::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::works vigorously to help get force fields and transport inhibitors online::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: How long would it take you to do a dump and restore on the computer core from protected archives

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Didn't do it

CEO_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I was just going to ask you on that.
 
ACTION:  Two more little blue transparent insects appear in engineering and fly past the CEO.  They fly into the warp core causing the warp core to go offline.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: The scientist are not dead. so it says in their log. When attacked and bitten by the locusts they went into stasis. Wrapped in cocoons.

CEO_Randolph says:
::ducks:: All: What the hell?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: tries shooting the speaker so to have so quiet to work in ::

CEO_Randolph says:
*CO* :Either I am losing my eyesight or..... shouldn’t take more than two hours.

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: See anymore of your bugs?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::listens to the music coming through the comm. channel as she deals with the turbulence:: *CO*: Sir...are you watching holovids?  That's the theme song to Captain Cat Caitian.

CEO_Randolph says:
*CO*: I got two in the core.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO: Not yet, sir!

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Then where are they? ::looks around:: I don't see any cocoons around
 
ACTION:  The speaker goes slower and slower and the music stops.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::begins to sweat as his fingers fly around the console::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: No Mrlr, apparently the computer is playing your daughters favorite songs

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CEO* what's the start of this?
 
ACTION:  The Comm. system shuts down, but now communications all over the ship are down.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: The locusts are not native to this planet, just brought here by someone. I don't know where they are. But we can start looking around. Come with me. ::moves toward the ladder that brings to the basement::

CEO_Randolph says:
::looks at the core as it shuts down:: All: That tears it.  *CO*: I am going to do a full computer core dump and bring back the secondary core online.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: We've lost comms sir!

CEO_Randolph says:
*CTO*: If I knew the answer to that I would be a genius!
 
@ACTION:  The away team notice a large metal door.  The door is locked from the outside and the lock has been phasered shut, and from appearances it looks as though it was phasered to keep something from getting out.

CEO_Randolph says:
::heads for the computer core room::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Do we still have intership?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::follows the team leader and stops when he se a big door::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Can you scan anything inside?

CEO_Randolph says:
::cursing in Klingon and growling as well::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Checking sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::hears sudden silence from the comm. channel:: *CO*: Sir?  Hello....anyone there? ::curses in kitty language::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
::moves closer to the door and starts to scan it::
 
#ACTION:  Communications between Triton and Oracle have been severed.

CEO_Randolph says:
::enters the computer room area and begins to do the manual shut down of the computer core::
 
@ACTION:  Scans reveal signs that humans have been there .. recently.  Tricorders do not pick up anything unusual behind the door.
 
ACTION:  The ship's guidance systems begin to fail, and the ship begins to be pulled toward the atmospheric radiation, and toward the planet.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: We've lost comms with the Oracle.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: all this is so weird. What do you make of it?

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: turns and gives the Captain a stare :: CO: Sir, with the comm system down, we have no contact with any ship department..

CEO_Randolph says:
::running diagnostics on each component as she takes it out::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Well humans were on other side of this door but not anymore

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: pushes the duty FCO out of the seat and takes control of the Triton trying to correct her orbit :: Duty FCO: You are relieved ensign

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: sir we are being pulled toward the planet!
 
ACTION:  A force field mysteriously goes up in Computer Core Room and the CEO runs into the force field and falls down.

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: looks at the readings on the console :: CTO: Can you give us shields?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::watches the CO take flight, enviously::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::grits her teeth and pulls her seatbelt tighter as the little shuttle bounces all over the place:: Self:: It's a g..g..good thing I d..d..don't get sea sick..k..k....
 
ACTION: A visual image pops up on OPS's console.
…   _ _ _   …         …   _ _ _   …         …   _ _ _   …

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: not looking back at the CTO:: CTO: I am aware of that commander  :: continues to try and correct course::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Nothing

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Sir, we're getting an old earth Morse code message!

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: I think whatever was there they did want out::points to the fused locks::
 
FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Your call open the door or not

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
OPS: what?

CEO_Randolph says:
Self: Ok this resembles the shenanigans of Q!

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: What does it say ensign, I am a bit busy to read it myself

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: I am starting to believe with stomped into somebody's feeding ground. Let's check the basement and the rest of the building, then we may come back here.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CTO: Morse Code sir!
 
ACTION:  Another visual image pops up on the OPS's console.   
…    ._   _ _        …    ._   _ _        …    ._   _ _

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
OPS: Try and decode it

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: It says, SAM.

Host XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: runs over to science and looks over the screen :: Self: Dang it!

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::looks at the sealed door and then heads to the basement::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Try answering back

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Yes sir. ::sends a Morse code message back reading, "Are you Sam?"::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: Captain, Sam?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@:;tries to recalibrate his tricorder to read the partly inorganic beings and follows the FCO in the basement::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: still working on the controls :: XO: Your predecessor commander

Host ASM-Linda says:
ACTION:  Computer responds .. I am SAM.... SAM.... SAM.... SAM.....

CEO_Randolph says:
::now completely furious sits there and breathes in and out to calm down her boiling blood::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::sends response, "Where are you?"::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: Sir, someone must be playing a joke on us. Commander Sommers is dead.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: If this is your idea of a science mission next time remind me to take a phase rifle
 
OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: The source states they are Sam.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: It's like a bug safari, so far, please bring a couple of grenades as well:: grins::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Commander Summers?

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Can you trace the source of that message?
 
#ACTION:  A blue bug jumps out of CIV's console and flies around her head staring her in the face, and then jumps back in the console as if scared.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: This is not a scenario at the academy commander think more broad, Sommers did not rematerialize but she may not be dead

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::begins to try and trace the source::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: May some bug spray instead ::smiles::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Ask her where she is?

CEO_Randolph says:
::gets up and backs out of the computer room slowly and comes to a standing position::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::walks down the stairs and starts his scan::
 
ACTION:  The FCO and CSO make it to the basement level.  At the bottom there is another door that's closed, but not locked.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Already did sir.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: It is like if someone carried the bugs on this planet to put all intelligent beings on it in stasis. I wonder why? Sure not for a tea party.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::her ears twitch at the creature that flew around and just as she was about to send a lightning fast paw to catch it...it disappeared into the console::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: Forgive me sir, but how can a transporter buffer hold a matrix for so long?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#Oracle Computer: What was that?

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::moves over to the other door and scans it:: CSO: Found another door

CEO_Randolph says:
Self: OK this entire scenario is to familiar with one on the Enterprise D.  ::begins to walk for the TL and begins to climb the tube for the bridge::

Oracle Computer says:
#CIV:  Unknown species.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::joins the FCO:: FCO: Ready to enter?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#::mutters:: Self: I could have said that.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::puts his phaser and tricorder on his hip::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Did you sleep through basic physics?  Energy cannot be destroyed only change state.  I believe that somehow that has happened to Commander Sommers...perhaps to the personnel on this station

CEO_Randolph says:
::carefully climbs hand over hand steady up to the bridge::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::grabs the handle:: CSO: Ready?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: No response so far sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
#Oracle Computer: Run a full system diagnostic.  Where did that creature come from?  Is that what programmed the message into your system?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Ready ::waits for him to open the door to step in, raises his phaser::

CEO_Randolph says:
::reaches the bridge TL doors and wedges them open::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@:pushes the door open::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: The possibility of her being in some.....well other state is highly unlikely.
 
@ACTION:  Once opened, the doorway leads down several flights of steps leading into a cavern.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Give me access to computer input, vocal

Little Girl says:
  ::Walks into sickbay.::  MO:  Doctor, I bumped my head.  ::Starts to cry.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: All tactical systems are still dead.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::taps at his console and points to the CO:: CO: You're on sir.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::starts moving down the stairs:: FCO: This gets more intriguing every moment.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::takes his phaser and tricorder back out::

CEO_Randolph says:
::grabbing Tar'Lak securely by the body and wings she walks to her station and slams her fist on it::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CTO: Commander, can your internal sensors detect any unusual energy fields or fluctuations?
 
ACTION:  Tactical sensors appear to come online and then go offline again, as if someone is toying with them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::looks at Rico and then down the stairs:: CSO: Not the word I would use. More like mysterious
 
ACTION:  Tar'lak's seems happy that he is back with the CEO.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I don't know how or why but I believe that XO Sommers is somehow inter-phased into our systems.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
Computer: If this is commander Sommers then show your self, that is an order from your commanding officer

CEO_Randolph says:
::glares at Tar'lak::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Sir the controls worked and then went dead

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: I know, mystery fascinates me. If this place is clean we may go check beyond that metal door.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Keep at it commander
 
ACTION:  A little blue bug appears out of the OPS console and flies over to the Captain, just staring at him.  Then disappears again into a nearby console.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::starts to head down the stairs:: CSO: Wish I grab light beacons from the shuttle

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@*AT*: This is Polo, how are things coming out. We have found some caves and we are going to see what they contain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Yes sir

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
Self: Gah it did it again!

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Once the storm is over, we will get there and grab a lot of things we did not get the first time.
 
@ACTION:  The cavern stairwell is slippery and wet.  A few mutated rats scramble as they head down.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir that little blue thing could be part of Sam's energy force

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: spotted the bug this time :: CO: One of those blue bugs just went into that console. :: points ::
 
#ACTION:  The CIV's shuttle safely makes it to the planet.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: I agree, something about her exposure to the insects on the planet

Ens. Burke says:
@ *Polo*: We are fine here. Take care Lieutenant.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: If we could get all of them into one place I may try to recover her with the transporters.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CEO: You mean life force, right?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: That bug maybe Commander Sommers

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: See if you can capture one of those bugs.

CEO_Randolph says:
CTO: That is what I said. Life Force or energy to be more exact.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: I feel like Frankenstein's monster is going to pop out any second

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Belay that order

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: CO: Are you serious sir?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::stops mid-movement::

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: We need to lure them to one area, we cannot take the chance of killing even one of them

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Sir think about it.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: I know, I have the same feeling. I wonder what caused all the mutations. ::scans thoroughly one of the rats too see if it similar to the locusts or to the fauna.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO/CEO: We need to power down systems and lure the bugs into an area we can contain them in

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Remember the Enterprise D and the disappearance of Capt. Picard and how he returned from the cloud?  He was pure energy.  Why not the same thing?

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Exactly my thoughts.
 
@ACTION:  One of the rats walks past the CSO and bites him in the pant leg, but it doesn't penetrate his skin.

  XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: Like sickbay?

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: They have a containment area that might do nicely.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: I do not know because each part has a sense of survival

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: They seem not to like humans. Something mutated them and brought the locusts but who?

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Excellent, we could use the quarantine to hold them

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: I would suggest an energy source as bait.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Ok but they seem drawn to here on the bridge and in certain areas of the ship.
 
ACTION:  One of the little bugs is peaking out behind the CTO's console, as if listening to the conversation between the CO and XO.

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CEO: Commander, can you rig something down there to keep them together?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: But we have no force fields working.

CEO_Randolph says:
XO: IF it means that I get my best friend and XO back I can do it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Sir!
 
 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: grins :: CEO: Then get on it. I think Dr. Payne may be able to assist.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: We can rig and emergency quarantine field, have one of your teams assist sickbay in setting up and emergency field hospital quarantine

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CSO*: Lt...this is Commander Mrlr.  Can you hear me?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: It's too dark too see here, let's go back to the door.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::squints:: CSO: Damn its dark, I'm right behind you

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Now Ensign, we need a lure......any ideas?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO: A strong power source maybe?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::moves up the stairs:: FCO: These caves look like if someone mined in them. I wonder if the scientists did not find a boogey man in them.
 
@ACTION:  The FCO bumps into the CSO almost knocking him down the steps.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::begins checking for commonalities of where the bugs have appeared::

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@*CIV*: Commander I can hear you.
 
 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Worth a shot.

MO_Payne says:
Girl: Come over here please.... ::gets out the "Salt & Pepper shaker medical scanner::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@:: CSO: Sorry about that ::leans against the wall::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: The warp core is dead.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CSO*: I've got the Oracle here, Lt.  What do you want me to do?  Do you want me at your location?

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO: I'll look for common aspects of where the bugs have appeared.

Little Girl says:
  ::Sniffs.::  MO:  I bumped my head.  And I got scared and peed my pants too.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: In the off change we cannot lure all the bugs back to one place, configure the pattern buffers to use previous transport data to fill in any gaps

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@*CIV*: Can you land? If so do it, but do not land too far from the building. And watch out for any native creature. They are nasty and dangerous.

MO_Payne says:
::sniffs the air:: Girl: So you did.... stuff like that happens. ::scans the child::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Check to see if it's electrical in nature......you know, if they get a buzz from the power.

CEO_Randolph says:
CTO: IF I have to use phasers to power it I will make it work.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
XO: You got it sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CSO*: I've already landed.  I'll be at your location in a few minutes.

Little Girl says:
::Holds her stomach.::  I think I .. have to .. ::Barfs on the MO.::

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
::runs comparisons::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@*CIV*: Commander bring some light beacons

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@*CIV*: I will be upstairs to meet you commander. And welcome to this wretched place.

CEO_Randolph says:
CO: Already out the door .::takes off back the way she came down the Turbolift shaft::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*FCO/CSO*: Will do.

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
OPS: Anything yet?

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Let's go to rejoin the rest of the team. ::starts walking upstairs::
 
MO_Payne says:
::looks down and sighs:: Girl: That is also not the first time... ::scans the child again::
 :
@ACTION: The winds on the planet are strong, and lightning strikes where the CIV has landed.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@::follows the CSO back tot he rest of the AT::
 
CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@FCO: Good thinking with the lights. Thank you Mark.

Little Girl says:
MO:  Thank you, doctor.  ::Reaches up and gives him a big hug, mashing the barf into the MO's shoulder.::

CEO_Randolph says:
::stops her climb on the deck where the transporter room is and yanks open the doors and climbs onto the deck and takes off for the transporter room at a flat out run::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::grabs the extra lights and then holds on as the ship rocks after getting hit by lightning.  Sneezes at the smell of ozone:: *CSO*: Stay back in the building.  There are lightning strikes around the shuttle.

FCO_LtCmdr_Meadows says:
@CSO: Not a problem

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Commander you are to continue preparations for the reconstituting of commander Sommers, it may be the key to helping the people here

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
CO: I'll head down to sickbay and make sure everything is ready Captain.

CSO_Lt_Polo says:
@::arrives in the room where the rest of the team waits:: *CIV*: I know, one hit me.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Understood

CEO_Randolph says:
::slides into the transporter room:: Transporter Chief: Get this thing back together I have an idea and a plan.

OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO/XO: I've found the commonality sirs. Electrical things.

 CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
OPS: Explain

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::stuffs the lights into her satchel and opens the door.  Shades her eyes from the bright flash of the lightning, tightens her pack onto her shoulders and takes off at a dead run on all fours towards the building as fast as a Caitian can go::

 XO_Commander_Impatience says:
:: hears Salan and waits ::
 
@ACTION:  A bolt of lightning comes down and narrowly misses the CIV as she runs to the building.
 
OPS_Ens_Salan says:
CO: Everywhere the bugs appear, is an electrical machine, so I think my suggestion of a strong power source may attract all of them to one location, but I would suggest a field around the source so they can not sap its power before are appear.
