U.S.S. Vesuvius – March 28, 2000

Host Kris says:
The Ferengi government has abandoned their mining operation on the moons orbiting the planet Miasma. These mines are rich in dilithium deposits and it is believed that these deposits remain in abundance and have not been mined out.

Host Kris says:
The U.S.S. Vesuvius is to investigate the status of the abandoned mines, report the status to Starfleet Command and await further orders.

Host Kris says:
When last we left the valiant crew of the U.S.S. Vesuvius they had dispatched an away team to the fourth moon of the planet Miasma to investigate the status of the abandoned mines and the Ferengi life sign that was picked up by sensors.

Host Kris says:

CEO_Davis says:
@::sees Wakefield and his half of the away team ::

OPS_Ross says:

CTO_Kelson says:
*Crewman Gopher* Please report to the bridge.

Host Tode says:
@  oof     ::sitting up suddenly::

Host Tode says:
@   ACK!   What's the Federation doing here?

CEO_Davis says:
@ENG: Machon, keep scanning for any dilithium concentrations as best you can.  Take note of what you find...we'll look as soon as we find the Ferengi.

CTO_Kelson says:
<Gopher>*CTO* Acknowledged.

Host Tode says:
@   ::whining::  I had nothing to do with it!  I didn't even know!

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::what in the world is that?::

ENG_Machon says:
@CEO:Aye. ::Scans for dilithium::

Host Tode says:
@   ::strident tones::  You can't possibly blame me!   It wasn't my fault!

CTO_Kelson says:
Gopher: Crewman, take the Lt. Commanders bags to his quarters, please.

Host CO_Alar says:
::notes that Ross did not acknowledge her, but sets it aside in the interest of the mission::

CEO_Davis says:
@Tode: We're part of a Starfleet away team sent to investigate this area.  Are you all right?

Host Tode says:
@  ::resenting the Federation uniforms because it's so hard to pick pockets::

TO_Wakefield says:
@Tode:  Our scans suggested you were unconscious.  What happened here?

CTO_Kelson says:
<gopher> CTO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Doole says:
::drumming fingers on console, quietly humming to self::

OPS_Ross says:
:: Looks over at the captain,:: CO: Did I miss something sir?

CTO_Kelson says:
<gopher> ::picks up bags and enters turbolift::

CEO_Davis says:
@::lets Wakefield handle the questioning for now, knowing that's more his specialty::

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: To begin with, I prefer ma'am to sir.

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: scans the whiny Ferengi, quietly ::

TO_Wakefield says:
@CMO:  You want to check him out Doc?

Host Tode says:
@Er....I'm fine.

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Yes ma'am....

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: You will need to make accommodations for our..."guest"

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::scanning the rest of the compound for any other life signs::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: scans show he is unharmed::

CTO_Kelson says:
::shakes head::

CEO_Davis says:
@::notes the doctor scanning::

Host Tode says:
@  Hey, is that a medical tricorder?  The new model?   How'd you like to sell it?

TO_Wakefield says:
@Tode:  We were told the Ferengi abandoned these mines.  What are you doing here?

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: How does he look?

Sec_Target says:
"@::wonders how much trouble he'd get in if he crushed the whiny Ferengi’s larynx::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Guest captain... ::looks curiously::?

CMO_Tigs says:
@All:: he is fine, no injuries::

CTO_Kelson says:
::remembers when he made same mistake in addressing the Captain::

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Tode:Can you tell us why these mines were abandoned?

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: It should be a given that we will be bringing the Ferengi on board.

Host Tode says:
@ Oh, just over some silly childish nonsense.  But, they've not been abandoned.  I'm still here.

CEO_Davis says:
@Tode: Why are you here alone?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Tode:What nonsense?

FCO_Doole says:
::looks over shoulder at CO and new OPS::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: ::looks embarrassed:: Oooh of course I will have that taken care of right away captain::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: I would suggest putting an armed guard outside sickbay when our "guest" arrives.

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: I couldn't agree more.

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* Report, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Is there anything else captain?

Host Tode says:
@ I was put in charge.  ::standing up to full (albeit short) height::

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: Just keep us in the air. ::smiles:

CEO_Davis says:
@::steps back a moment::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: decides to go to quarters for a large wood box::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Tode:In charge of what?

TO_Wakefield says:
@::looms over Ferengi::

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO*: We've located the Ferengi.  He claims that he was left in charge of the complex here.

CTO_Kelson says:
*Security* Security Team Alpha report to sickbay for guard duty.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: When our "guest" arrives, and is feeling better, might I suggest only limited access to the ship?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::leaves sick bay:: Dr. Aola:  you're in charge for a bit, I'll be back

OPS_Ross says:
::smiles back and walks past the CTO as he feels like that wasn't the best first impression he could of made::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:maybe we should send him back to the ship for questioning, while we remain to complete the investigation.

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: Thank you for that suggestion. I'm sure Kelson has already prepared for that contingency.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
<Dr. Aola> :: nods acknowledgment::

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods to Lorenzo::

OPS_Ross says:
:: makes arrangements for the Ferengi guest, making sure to check it with security::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: enters turbolift:: computer: deck 8

TO_Wakefield says:
@Tode:  How did you get into this locker?

CEO_Davis says:
@Tode: We'd like to transport you back to our ship so we can get a better idea of what's going on here.

CTO_Kelson says:
Doole: I'll have the security detachment with our guest at all times.

Host Tode says:
@  So, would you like a tour of the complex?  It's really quite impressive.

Sec_Target says:
@::takes a walk around the room looking for any signs of booby traps::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: exits turbolift walking towards her quarters::

OPS_Ross says:
:: is still in awe of the Galaxy class starship, thinking all the other ones he has served on were so much smaller and less stylish::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: enters her quarters, and walks toward one of her bonsai trees::

CMO_Tigs says:
@::checks the lock on the locker, hmmmm wonder how he got in there?::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::continues her scans, wanting to continue the exploration::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::picks up a large wooden box, opens lid and checks contents::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Tode:Do you have a map? We can guide ourselves.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::thinks, exactly what I'm looking for, then leaves for sickbay::

CEO_Davis says:
@::patience with Ferengi wearing thin; then again, his patience with most Ferengi had wore thin a long time ago..::

TO_Wakefield says:
@:grows impatient with Ferengi::

CEO_Davis says:
@::looks to Target::

OPS_Ross says:

TO_Wakefield says:
@Tode:  We who?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *Transporter Room*:  Davis to Transporter Room, two to beam up.

CMO_Tigs says:
@TODE:: would you like a little truth serum??::

Host Tode says:
@  Here now...what's the big idea?   I'm going to have to file charges if you don't unhand me...   ::whining::

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* I'd like a report while we're still young, Lieutenant.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::looks back at away team's lifesigns::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: lifts lid of box...::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::wonders when we can get on with it::

CEO_Davis says:
COM: *CO*: Yes Captain.  We're transporting the Ferengi back to the ship for questioning.

Host CO_Alar says:

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* I'll meet him in the transporter room. Vesuvius out.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::I have the compound mapped out, here::indicates with fingers::is where the generators the Ferengi mentioned, should be.

Host Tode says:
ACTION: TARGET AND THE FERENGI NAMED TODE HAVE MATERIALIZED ON THE VESUVIUS.

Sec_Target says:
::materializes on the Vesuvius and grabs Tode by the arm firmly::

CEO_Davis says:
@ALL: Okay, enough of this.  Let's get on with this.

Host Tode says:
erk

CEO_Davis says:
@ENG: Have you found anything?

TO_Wakefield says:
@CSO:  Aye.  Chief, I recommend we get those generators online.

Host CO_Alar says:
::is hurrying down to the transporter room, but doing it with decorum::

CTO_Kelson says:
*Security Team Alpha* Report to Transporter Room 1.

ENG_Machon says:
@CEO:No I'm getting mixed readings.

OPS_Ross says:
::walks over to the CTO, and discreetly inquires:: I didn't get a chance to catch your name, I'm Ross if you didn’t know...

CEO_Davis says:
@TO: Let's do it.

Host Tode says:
Target:  You're going to pull my arm off if you're not careful, you big goon.

CMO_Tigs says:
@;; falls in line behind Davis::

Sec_Target says:
*CTO*:Where do you want me to escort our guest to sir?

CSO_Lorenzo says:

Host Tode says:
Target:  What's the matter?  Not used to lifeforms you can't charm with that never-ending wit of yours?   ::rolling eyes sarcastically::

CTO_Kelson says:
Ross:  Yes sir, Lt. Commander.  I'm Lt. junior grade Kelson.  Pleasure.  ::offers hand to shake::

Sec_Target says:
::sees the captain and stands to attention keeping a firm grip on Tode::

CEO_Davis says:
@TO: I think I can solve this problem...

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@Davis:We should be able to scan the entire complex from the generator room.

Host Tode says:
::seeing the Captain's arrival::  Ahhhh, you must be the beautiful Captain I've heard so much about.  ::smiling charmingly::

CEO_Davis says:
@::bends down and rips access panel off near side of generator, then looks in::

Sec_Target says:
CO:Captain, this is the life form we found, his name is Tode

OPS_Ross says:
::shakes the CTO's hand then runs back over to his station::

Host CO_Alar says:
::arches an eyebrow:: Tode: And I know of you as well...Dara told me quite a bit about you.

CEO_Davis says:
@::restarts the generator manually and waits for a moment::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::walks up to the consoles and starts accessing the database, trying to find records of the evacuation and why::

Host Tode says:
::ulp::     Mmmm.....Dara?   Now let me seee.......where do I know that name from....    ::stalling::

TO_Wakefield says:
@:walks to control panel.  checks power systems::

CTO_Kelson says:
*Target*  Security team Alpha is at your disposal for accommodating our "guest".

TO_Wakefield says:
@CEO:  The complex looks to be in decent shape.

CEO_Davis says:
@::sees the status monitor remain unchanged; he waits for Wakefield to finish viewing the inside to place the door back on::

Sec_Target says:
*CTO*:Understood sir

OPS_Ross says:

TO_Wakefield says:
@::scan for security purposes::

ENG_Machon says:
@::visually scans area::

CMO_Tigs says:

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: Getting anything from those consoles?

OPS_Ross says:
:: looks over at the FCO offering his hand to shake::FCO: Lt.Cmdr Ross Rachmaninoff...and you are?

Host Tode says:
::nervously::  Oh yes....an interesting lady.   Now then....when will I be returned to my mining operation?  I've got lots to do you know.

TO_Wakefield says:
@ALL:  No security problems.  No records of why they left either.  I recommend we stay frosty.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:Not yet Davis.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::checks personal logs::

CEO_Davis says:
@::walks over to an adjacent console and scans for dilithium, then looks over Lorenzo's shoulder to see if she's able to find anything::

FCO_Doole says:
OPS: Ensign Monruth J. Doole, Flight Control Officer. Please call me "Monty" or "MJ".

TO_Wakefield says:
@::scans atmosphere in complex.  Sets to nominal levels::  ALL:  It's OK to take your helmets off if you want.

CMO_Tigs says:

Sec_Target says:
::begins to get a little uncomfortable standing to attention n the heavy environmental suit, he motions for another crewman to take his place and quickly shucks the suit::

OPS_Ross says:
::smiles:: FCO: Pleased to meet you Ensign ....ummm MJ

Host CO_Alar says:
Tode: You'll not be returning. This area has been turned over to the Federation.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:I'm reading ramblings of some Ferengi sighting ghosts.

CMO_Tigs says:
@CEO:: something is moving over there Sir.:: points tot he far wall::

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: Ghosts...?

Host Tode says:
::alarmed::  What?  Turned over?  Who did that?  This is mine!  All mine!

OPS_Ross says:
FCO: Have you been on the Vesuvius since she launched?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:maybe they thought the place was haunted and left?

CEO_Davis says:
@::turns to see where the doctor is pointing, then looks himself::

Host CO_Alar says:
Tode: No, it isn't. And that is the end of the discussion. If you wish to file a protest, you may do so through the proper channels.

Sec_Target says:
::stows the suit and takes his place back next to Tode::

CEO_Davis says:
@CMO: What is it.?

TO_Wakefield says:
@::looks where CMO is pointing::

OPS_Ross says:
:: taps a few commands into his station then looks over at FCO::

FCO_Doole says:
OPS: Since Stardate 9911.02

CMO_Tigs says:
@CEO:: don't know nothing is showing  on the scans::

CEO_Davis says:
@::pulls out tricorder and approaches the phenomenon slowly::

OPS_Ross says:
FCO: ::smiles a bit and continues monitoring sensors:: Fresh out of the Academy I bet?

Host CO_Alar says:
Tode: You need to be checked out in sickbay. I would suggest you go there.

Host CO_Alar says:
::her tone allows for no argument.::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: pulls her taj slowly from her ankle sheath, and holds it at the ready::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::puts hand on CEO's shoulder and then steps in front of him::  CEO:  Hold on there Chief, let me take point.

Sec_Target says:
::takes Tode by the arm and prepares to escort him to sickbay::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:These 'ghosts' were sighted in the mines themselves, I suggest we go have a look.

CEO_Davis says:
@::pauses::

Host Tode says:
::screaming as he's being carted off::  I'm going to report you to my Arbitrator!

Host CO_Alar says:
Tode: If you'll excuse me, I am needed on the bridge. ::turns and heads back to the bridge::

CEO_Davis says:
@::nods, and looks to tricorder::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::looks intently at moving entity::

FCO_Doole says:
OPS: It hasn't been dull. ::lowers voice:: We lost our OPS officer during our last mission. His name was Bruno Von Kruger.

Sec_Target says:
Tode:This way.. ::escorts the little.. troll to sickbay::

CTO_Kelson says:
<sec. team Alpha>::falls in step behind guest::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: circles around to flank the intruder::

CEO_Davis says:
@ALL: It looks like there's an entrance to the mine right through the phenomenon...

Host CO_Alar says:
::gets back to the bridge::

OPS_Ross says:
FCO: Sorry to hear that....

FCO_Doole says:
OPS: Yes, the Vesuvius is my first assignment.

TO_Wakefield says:
@::waves CMO off::

OPS_Ross says:
:: notes the Captain return to the bridge::

TO_Wakefield says:
@:CMO:  Not so close Doc, we don't want to scare...it.

Host CO_Alar says:
::takes her seat::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:an entrance?

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: ignores the TO and crouches down beside the entrance::

OPS_Ross says:
:: continues to monitor sensors for any other ships or disturbances on the planet::

FCO_Doole says:
OPS: I keep his commbadge in my quarters, as a memorial. ::notices CO's return::

FCO_Doole says:
::looks at console::

Sec_Target says:
::half drags Tode into sickbay and "places" him on a biobed::

CEO_Davis says:
@::taps buttons on console, and what has the away team troubled turns off...it is actually a hologram::

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: Report, Commander.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:Lets get this investigation started, ::gives him her tricorder:: here are the locations where the 'ghost' was spotted.

TO_Wakefield says:
@::shakes head.  SELF:  Oi.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::hears the commotion in sickbay & leaves her office.  Sees the Ferengi::  Tode:  byahvt!  ::takes a hold of a lobe::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Nothing out of the ordinary sir...

CMO_Tigs says:
@::Puts her taj in her teeth and pulls her phaser::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: No other ships or disturbances of any kind within sensor range.

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: That's secondary for now...first I want to find if there are indeed dilithium concentrations here.

CEO_Davis says:
@::Motions to the doorway that is now where the hologram was::

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: How about the surface?

CTO_Kelson says:
Ross: :whispers:: Ma'am...

Host Tode says:
OW!   That hurts!

CEO_Davis says:
@::walks towards the door, not really waiting for the others::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::walks through doorway where hologram was::

FCO_Doole says:
::whispering:: OPS: She told you once, that it's MA'AM, not SIR.

Sec_Target says:
::grins at the writhing Ferengi but keeps his guard up in case he tries something stupid, which is looking very likely::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: begins to gently rub the lobes of the Ferengi::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:We were ordered to investigate this place, how about I go see the 'ghost' and you can look for the dilithium?

ENG_Machon says:
@::inches towards door::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  is that better?

OPS_Ross says:
::Scans the surface of the planet:: CO: scanning now ma'am ::he blinks to the FCO::

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  Oh good grief woman.  I'm not in the mood and you're wearing clothing for heavens sake!

CMO_Tigs says:
@::puts her taj back in her sheath, and waits for the rest of the team to enter the mines::

Host Tode says:
::slapping at Xenobia's hands and blushing::

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: No, Lorenzo...we'll go together.  Finding dilithium in a dilithium mine shouldn't be hard...soon as we do, we'll check for the ghosts...

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::watches as the away team goes on through the doorway::

Sec_Target says:
::draws his phaser::Tode: I'd suggest you refrain from slapping the good doctor

CEO_Davis says:
@::hears his tricorder begin beeping wildly and sees that there is definitely dilithium present::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  now, I know that all Ferengi just love their lobes being caresses...I'm just trying to make you feel at home!

FCO_Doole says:
::winks back at OPS:: OPS: You'll get used to it. She's a great CO.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:Its a dilithium mine, the stuff is everywhere.  How far do you want to search for it?

CMO_Tigs says:
@pulls her hood back on and clamps it into place::

Host Tode says:
ACTION: STRANGE SOUNDS ARE COMING FROM DEEPER WITHIN THE MINE.

CEO_Davis says:
@::stops for a moment and takes tricorder readings::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::scans the direction of the sounds::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::hears sounds::

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  You have no idea what my home was like.  Now then....when are you going to discharge me?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:Well I believe the 'ghost' found us.

TO_Wakefield says:
@::draws phaser.  Sets to maximum stun::

OPS_Ross says:
FCO: I bet she is

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO*: Davis to Vesuvius.  We have located dilithium...we're also hearing some very odd noises....we're about to investigate..

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I'm sensing something strange within the mines

TO_Wakefield says:
@::walks towards sound, slowly::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Still nothing out of the ordinary sir

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::steps closer slowly::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: carefully checks the teams rear and both flanks before entering the mines::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  oh, but you underestimate me!  Are you hungry?

CEO_Davis says:
@::gives the CSO a slight smile::

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* Keep an open commlink.

Sec_Target says:
::motions for two guards to stand outside of the main sickbay entrance and for another to stand on the other side of the biobed::

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO* Acknowledged.

CEO_Davis says:
@::moves ahead with tricorder out::

TO_Wakefield says:
@CEO,CSO:  Talk to me.

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  Uh, sure.  Why don't you go make me something to eat?

Host CO_Alar says:
::listens to the chatter over the comm::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Dr. Aola:  please retrieve the box sitting on my desk :: smiles at the Ferengi::

OPS_Ross says:
:: monitors his station while wondering about if the FCO is Betazoid?::

CMO_Tigs says:
@::slings her phaser rifle over her shoulder, and pulls out her tricorder begins to scan::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TO:nothing from my scans, we'll just have to go on.

CTO_Kelson says:
::checks locks on away team::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
<Dr. Aola> nods in acknowledgment

CEO_Davis says:
@::taps tricorder once, but still gets no readings other than crude dilithium crystals::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::continues walking towards sound::

Sec_Target says:
::realizes just how appropriate it is that grubs and worms are a Ferengi delicacy::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues to rub the lobes of the Ferengi:: Ferengi:  now, aren't you feeling more relaxed?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TO:Do you remember the Ferengi mentioning that they mines weren’t abandoned?

TO_Wakefield says:
@CSO:  Yes.

OPS_Ross says:
::thinks how cold it would be to be on the surface...::

CEO_Davis says:
@::shines light around the mine as he walks at the front, hoping to find something::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TO:maybe someone is creating this false ghost to keep people away?

TO_Wakefield says:
@CSO:  It is possible.

TO_Wakefield says:
@::continues walking::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::continues walking closer to the sounds::

Host Tode says:
::a vein stands out on poor Tode's forehead::    Nooooo......I need to get something to eat now.....

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO, TO: Seems like a waste to me...nothing a phaser and a few armed guards couldn't solve.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
::Dr. Aola returns with the box and stands at the end of the biobed and removes the lid::

OPS_Ross says:
:: looking away from his console briefly he peers out at the viewscreen and stares at the planet::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ALL:maybe the Ferengi themselves wanted to keep other away and keep concession in their trades from the Federation?

FCO_Doole says:
::opens mind to sounds:: CO: It sounds like chains rattling. Heavy chains. Shall I alert the AT via telepathy

CMO_Tigs says:
@::pulls her phaser rifle off her shoulder and hangs back checking the teams rear.::

ENG_Machon says:
@::has deep fear of ghosts and stays a way behind CEO::

TO_Wakefield says:
@CEO:  I'd rather clear this place out before we get too comfy.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: smiles:: Ferengi:  all in good time, I have a treat for you, but only if you behave yourself...treats from your homeworld of Ferenginar

CEO_Davis says:
@::continues walking::

CEO_Davis says:
@TO: What do you mean?

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: The only telepath on the away team doesn't do well with telepathy. I'd recommend against it.

OPS_Ross says:
::thinks Starfleet is being overrun with telepaths, being part Betazoid himself::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues to rub the lobes of the Ferengi::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: Very well.

TO_Wakefield says:
@CEO:  I'd rather not have stragglers to deal with.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  how long has it been since you were home?

Host Tode says:
::rolling eyes::  I'm not from Ferenginar exactly, so how about I go home to my mine now.  ::hopeful::

CMO_Tigs says:
@::moves to catch up with the team, keep a close eye behind them, has a bad feeling of impending doom::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::continues walking deeper into the mines::

CEO_Davis says:
@TO: This has my curiosity...I want to know what it is...

OPS_Ross says:
::whispers to FCO:: Are you Betazoid? I am part Betazoid myself?

TO_Wakefield says:
@::continues walking::

TO_Wakefield says:
@CEO:  As do I.

Host Tode says:
ACTION: A LOUD RUMBLING SOUND IS HEARD FROM DEEPER WITHIN THE MINE.

CEO_Davis says:
@::wonders why tricorders fail when he needs them the most::

CEO_Davis says:
@::holds arms up and pauses::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ALL:There is no ghost, would that Ferengi stay behind by himself if there were?

Host CO_Alar says:
::leans forward in her seat as the sounds intensify::

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~OPS: I'm a full Betaziod~~~~

TO_Wakefield says:
@::pauses, aims phaser into shaft::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  well, that's too bad to hear you're not from Ferenginar.  I have some wonderful tube worms here from Ferenginar.  But since you're not from there, I can replicate tube worms for you!

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::continues on::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: stops and crouches to cover the TO::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::keeps going::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Ma'am, I can't get a lock on the sounds...

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO*: Captain, we're hearing a loud rumbling sound now...still not sure of the source.

OPS_Ross says:
~~~~FCO: Oh that this is much more convenient then hehehe. I can hear these sounds as well, too~~~~~~

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues to rub lobes::

FCO_Doole says:
::starting to feel uneasy:: CO: the rumblings in the mines are getting worse

CEO_Davis says:
@::catches up to Wakefield quickly::

Host Tode says:
ACTION: AS THE AWAY TEAM GROUP ROUNDS THE BEND IN THE MINE SHAFT, THEY CATCH A GLIMPSE OF A SHADOWY FIGURE WEARING SHABBY CLOTHING AND CLANKING A HAMMER ON WHAT LOOKS LIKE A COIN.  THEN THE IMAGE VANISHES.

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* Keep a safe distance, Lieutenant.

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: What do you make of it?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::checks tricorder for holoemitters in the area::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Sensors still not picking up anything captain

TO_Wakefield says:
@:Shines palm beacon where shabby thing was::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:An illusion?

CMO_Tigs says:
@::growls, rumbling deep in her chest::

Sec_Target says:
::surprised the doctor isn't chewing the little trolls food for him too...::

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~OPS: Only when I don't want anyone else to hear~~~~

CEO_Davis says:
@ALL: Only one way to find out, I guess...

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  so, how are you doing now, friend?

TO_Wakefield says:
::keeps moving::

OPS_Ross says:
~~~FCO: Same here~~~

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ALL:Well we wont know unless we talk to it.  ::walks towards the area where the figure had appeared::

CEO_Davis says:
@::continues slowly and stays against a wall::

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  I'd be much better off if I were allowed my rights as a Federation citizen and permitted to go back to my work.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::looks around for any holotechnology in the mines::

CMO_Tigs says:
@:: sets her phaser to full stun, and moves slowly bringing up the rear::

OPS_Ross says:
::wonders what is going on down on the planet::

ENG_Machon says:
@::moves slowly petrified with fear::

CEO_Davis says:
@::also checks for any holo-imaging devices, but can't see any that are visible at this point::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:maybe they are in the walls?

Sec_Target says:
::ears perk up on the "Federation Citizen” part of the troll’s last comment::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::keeps moving, while visually scanning entire shaft in front of him::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  relax, you're not going any where quite yet.  I haven't begun my complete examination of you...and you won't be allowed to leave until you settle down

CEO_Davis says:
@::shrugs::

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: Could be...without the tricorders though we won't know.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  do I make myself clear?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues to rub lobes::

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  Let's get on with it then.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:perhaps you can contact the ship and have them question the Ferengi on his folklore?

Host Tode says:
Xenobia:  And stop doing that or I'll file a protest.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:He knows something

OPS_Ross says:
::checks the status of the Ferengi guest's quarters::

CEO_Davis says:
@CSO: Hmm, I hadn't thought of that.  Good idea.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: looks at Dr. Aola::   <Dr. Aola> : please give our guest the box.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CEO:If he willingly stayed then he wasn’t afraid of whatever is down here.

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO*: Captain, perhaps you could ask the Ferengi about any Ferengi folklore that might sound familiar with our current situation..

Host CO_Alar says:
*Davis* I will do that.

TO_Wakefield says:
@CSO:  Maybe, but who stuffed him in that locker?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  the tube worms are from Ferenginar and have been kept in soil from there as well.  Please enjoy.

CEO_Davis says:
@COM: *CO*: Thank you.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::continues walking deeper into the mines::

OPS_Ross says:
:;hears the comm transmission and wonders why anyone would want to know about Ferengi folklore ::

CEO_Davis says:
@::now standing in the area where the "thing" appeared, but still sees nothing::

Host CO_Alar says:
Ross: You have the bridge. I will be in Sickbay.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: begins to run medical scans of the Ferengi ::

TO_Wakefield says:
@::keeps moving::

OPS_Ross says:
CO: Aye Captain

CMO_Tigs says:
@::growls, keeping an eye behind her, and hates this::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TO:We don’t know if he put himself there, or if he is just lying.

Host Tode says:
::wrinkling nose in interest::   mmmm.....are they sprinkled with ghinnamon?

Host CO_Alar says:
::heads for Sickbay::

OPS_Ross says:
:: gets up and walks to the center chair and sits down, thinking how comfortable galaxy classes are....::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Ferengi:  I'm sorry, no.  But they are fresh! and kept in a dark place.  I water them one a week

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@TO:What we do know is that he was in a locker, he was unconscious and had high levels before that.

TO_Wakefield says:
@::continues walking deeper into the mine::

CTO_Kelson says:
::tries to get a lock on sounds from cave::

CTO_Kelson says:
::reinitializes the sensors::

CTO_Kelson says:
::no luck::

CEO_Davis says:
@::stays up in front of the group, still advancing into the mine::

CTO_Kelson says:
::still has lock on away team, though::

OPS_Ross says:
::looks around the bridge monitoring the status of the away team::

Host CO_Alar says:
::enters sickbay::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues to run medical scans of Ferengi::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: seeing the CO::  CO:  ma'am

Host Tode says:
