USS Vesuvius - NCC 71985
The Shadow Lands:  Episode Two

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
Admiral Taylor has requested that the crew of the USS Vesuvius investigate the planet at coordinates 

Host Gerry says:
Inside the Romulan Neutral Zone. This planet is known to the Romulans as Planet Chalon.

Host Gerry says:
It is a class-k planet, and the Chalon system is devoid of life other than artificially transplanted life put there by the Romulans.

Host Gerry says:
Most of the crew has volunteered, and the ship is only minutes away 

Host Gerry says:
from the RNZ and a major treaty violation if they are caught.

Host Gerry says:
The USS Typhoon has departed, presumably 

Host Gerry says:
for the same region, but is running under cloak (another potential treaty violation).

Host Gerry says:

CO/CSO: Oxygen/Nitrogen atmosphere, surface temp varies.

FCO Horn says:
CO: LRS shows power signature emanating from the southern pole

CSO Trelan says:
SO: How so?

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Can you determine type?

FCO Horn says:
CO: Checking now

SO Lane says:
CSO: Temp varies from no more than10C to 50C

FCO Horn says:
CO: Insufficient data at this time, sorry

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods...mind is racing ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Security teams stationed at all critical points of entry, Captain.  Also, several roaming teams dispatched.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Good

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, there is a Romulan base at the equator region

SO Lane says:
CSO: I show a Romulan base in the Equatorial area, plus 6C.

XO Kelson says:
:: Checks sensors to see if he can get a weapons lock on power source ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  I want you to assemble a small Away Team...

XO Kelson says:
CO: Aye, aye Captain.   :: Looks over bridge crew ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Taps a few buttons and establishes an orbit ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: Reading life signs at the site of the Romulan base. Attempting to identify.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Vesuvius enters standard orbit around Chalon, undetected thus far.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Dru, you're with me...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stands and steps toward turbolift ::

SO Lane says:
:: Watches Sam and smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Hands over tactical to nearest officer and heads for turbolift ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stops long enough to pick up a tricorder ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  You know your mission from the briefing...

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Vessel decloaks to starboard...

FCO Horn says:
CO: Recommend cutting all external power, lowering our emissions and try to mask our warp signature

Host CO Royce says:
XO/CSO:  Be careful...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Dru and gives him a small smile ::

FCO:  Identify

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Typhoon decloaks and a transport to the surface is detected.

FCO Horn says:
CO: It’s the Typhoon

SO Lane says:
CO: Captain, the life sign readings are Romulan. Trying to get a number now.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: I think we'll need some cold weather gear, what do you think?

FCO Horn says:
CO: They are transporting to the surface

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Sounds good.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Hits combadge ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Hits combadge :: Security: This is Commander Kelson.  Have a team meet us in Transporter Room 2.

CSO Trelan says:
Quartermaster: We need cold weather gear waiting in transporter room two.

SO Lane says:
CO: We have six or seven Romulans down there.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits lift and heads toward transporter room ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and enters Transporter room ::

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Royce to Kelson...you have 6 or 7 Romulans down there

S`Parn says:
#:: Working at a console ::   S'yne: How is everything coming along?

SO Lane says:
:: Looks up at the Captain and hopes she knows what she's doing ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Thank you Captain.  We are taking a security detail as well.  We'll try not to be too conspicuous.   :: Smiles at Dru ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Can you tell how many from the Typhoon transported planetside?

S`Parn says:
#<S'yne>S'Parn: So far, everything is going well...I am somewhat concerned about the energy signatures,

XO Kelson says:
:: Quickly gets into cold weather gear and moves to transporter ::

SO Lane says:
:: Returns to her scans and looks for anything else that might be useful in the readings ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters command codes to allow transportation to the surface ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Puts on gear and steps on pad ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: I'll activate the beam and lock out the transporter again then meet you on the pad.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits with a stoic face ::

S`Tall says:
#S'Parn:  The work continues, SubCommander.   :: Hunches over terminal ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Yes, sir.

FCO Horn says:
:: Runs scan to determine how many beamed down to the surface ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Unable to determine…to much interference form the power signature to get an accurate scan

XO Kelson ::activates transporter, enters code and runs to pad:: (Transporter.wav)

S`Parn says:
#S`Tall: Excellent, are things running on schedule?

XO Kelson says:
@:: Materializes on planet ::

SO Lane says:
CO: Captain, the away team is on the surface.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: XO:  The Typhoon has beamed down a party...you may run into them

S`Tall says:
#S'Parn:  We are ahead of the time appointed.  We will be able to test fire within the hour.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Looks around, pulls tricorder and scans ::

XO Kelson says:
@Sec. Team: Take cover so we can safely see what is down here!

FCO Horn says:
:: Continuously makes minute changes to the ship to keep it in proper orbit ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
@:: Steps out of the shadow ::   ALL:  It's all right, they're ours.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Sees the Admiral ::

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  Monitor their bio-signs...I want them outta there if there is any trouble

CSO Trelan says:
@Admiral Taylor: Admiral....

S`Parn says:
#<S'yne>S'parn: Things are looking well, and should be ready for the test

Captain Silek says:
@:: Stands up from behind the bush ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Anything ships in the area, Cmdr?

XO Kelson says:
@:: Sees Admiral Taylor ::   Admiral: Hello, Admiral.  Good to see you again.
:: Raises hand in Vulcan salute ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  8 Starfleet officers in black suits with white insignias and no rank symbols appear from nowhere, armed to the teeth.

SO Lane says:
CO: Already doing that ma'am.

FCO Horn says:
CO: I don't like this. Two ships approach, beam down people and not a single peep from the Romulans. Sounds like a trap to me

CSO Trelan says:
@:: notices all the men ::

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Steps forward behind Taylor and nods to the approaching Starfleet officers ::

SO Lane says:
:: Checks the Away Team's bio readings again ::

Captain Silek says:
@:: Nods to the group ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   FCO:  I don't like the feel of this either...

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Scan the area for any approaching ships

Host Admiral Taylor says:
@XO:  As it is to see you.  Now I suggest you take cover.  Captain Silek, the operation is yours.  Commander Kelson, please take the lead.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

XO Kelson says:
@:: Tenses at sight of intelligence officers ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Looks to the XO ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Couldn't we do a tachyon burst also to see if there are any cloaked vessels around?

Host CO Royce says:
SO/FCO:  Check for ion trials anything that might tip off a cloaked ship

S`Parn says:
#S`Tall: That is pleasant to hear, but lets work to get the test done as soon as possible

XO Kelson says:
@Admiral: Yes, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Gives Dru wary look ::

SO Lane says:
:: Looks over at the FCO concerned about her health ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  We could, if there are any ion signatures in the area...don't want to be too hasty

FCO Horn says:
:: Begins to get agitated about the situation ::

S`Parn says:
#S'yne: As you heard, let us work on the energy signatures

S`Tall says:
#S'Parn:  We are ready to initiate countdown…on your order, SubCommander.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Yes Ma'am. Understood

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Okay Dru...which way to the Wizard?

SO Lane says:
CO: Running a scan for ion signatures.   :: Begins to scan the grid ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Notices body language of FCO, gets up and walks over to her... ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Continuously running scans of the area ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Whispers ::   FCO: Alex...you all right?

Captain Silek says:
@:: Looks around to the group assembled ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Twenty meters that way.   :: Points ::

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Okay...let's go.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Places a gentle hand on her shoulder ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Getting strange readings. Trying to clear it up.

S`Parn says:
#S`Tall: We have no reason to wait, begin the countdown.   :: Looks over and nods to S'yne ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Feel like blowing the planet up and leaving…

XO Kelson says:
@:: Moves off in the direction the CSO pointed ::

SO Lane says:
CO: I have something directly ahead.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles gently... ::   FCO: Patience...    SO:  What have you?

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Raises an eyebrow at the XO's comment about Wizard and keeps himself focused on the mission :: 

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns to the SO ::

Captain Silek says:
@ All: Set your phaser’s...to KILL

S`Parn says:
#:: Pushes the green button that starts the countdown ::

S`Tall says:
#S'Parn:  Yes, SubCommander…countdown set for T-10 minutes and counting.  I recommend we begin evacuation procedures.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Sets phaser and continues on ::

SO Lane says:
CO: Power signature, very unusual, from the facility ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  What kind of power?

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Readings cleared up yet, Dru?

Captain Silek says:
@:: Moves at a steady pace towards the facility ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: One moment, Commander...   :: Punches buttons ::

S`Parn says:
#S`Tall: Agreed.  Proceed to the transporter pad

SO Lane says:
CO: Unknown at this time Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  Try and identify that signature...

S`Parn says:
#S'yne: Let us leave here, we have nothing more to do

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Commander, reading a massive amount of trilithium.

S`Tall says:
#:: Rises from the seat and moves to the transporter ::   COMM: Ship:  We are ready for beamout.

SO Lane says:
SO: Working on it ma'am.

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Toggles the settings on his weapons to kill as he makes his way with the others to the base ::

S`Parn says:
#<S'yne>S'parn: Understood.   :: Gets up and walks out towards the transporter
pad ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Keeps going over the scans, looking for any sign of a ship or ships in the area ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Hits combadge ::   COMM: CO: Kelson to Vesuvius.  We have met up with group from Typhoon and are headed to power source.

Captain Silek says:
@ XO: That was expected Commander.... the trilithium is our problem

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Are our power readings holding steady?

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  The power signature at the South Pole begins to increase in output.  Breen life signs are now detectable.

SO Lane says:
:: Recalibrates her scanners to a .45 increase in magnification ::

CSO Trelan says:
@Silek: Your problem? Scanning past it?

S`Parn says:
#:: Walks over to the Transporter pad and waits ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: XO:  Very good, Cmdr...we are reading a power signature and are attempting to identify it

FCO Horn says:
CO: Reading increase in power at the southern pole

Captain Silek says:
@ XO: No...it is what they are doing with the trilithium that is our problem.

SO Lane says:
:: Gasps as she gets new readings ::   CO: Captain!

Host Admiral Taylor says:
@:: Watches the officers work and is pleased ::

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  What is it, Miss Lane?

FCO Horn says:
CO: Reading Breen life forms also.

XO Kelson says:
@Silek: So what is the plan of action?  Or are we going to rush the place?

S`Parn says:
#::Enters the co-ordinates to the transporter::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  What type of power reading are you getting?

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Punches at the tricorder ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Romulan officers are beamed aboard the Breen vessel now lifting off from the South Pole.

SO Lane says:
CO: Power reading at the Southern Pole has increased...   :: Turns to the CO :: Breen life signs ma'am.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Recommend a complete evacuation and getting out of here. I don't like this one bit.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Continues toward power source ::

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  Notify the away team...   FCO:  We have people down on the planet...we don't leave without them.

Captain Silek says:
@:: Nods ::   XO:  As soon as possible....  I believe the correct vernacular is "Hit them hard?"

FCO Horn says:
:: Acting on her emotions, begins to plot evasive maneuvers into her panel ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO: Can the Breen vessel detect us at our current location?

FCO Horn says:
CO: Unknown

XO Kelson says:
@Silek: Hard and fast...   :: Smiles ::   Just the way I like it.

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  A single missile fires from the base in front of the combined PRISM/Vesuvius assault team...

XO Kelson says:
@ALL: Take cover!

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Be ready for evasive maneuvers

SO Lane says:
:: Sighs and looks closer at the sensors ::   CO: Captain, I have the Romulan life signs...they're...leaving...beaming to what appears to be a Breen ship.

S`Parn says:
$:: Walks off the pad and over to a console to watch the countdown ::

Captain Silek says:
@:: Turns to looks at Taylor and Turnbull ::   All: We are too late...

CSO Trelan says:
@XO/Admiral: Reading a missile launching!

FCO Horn says:
CO: Detecting Breen ships. They are a max impulse and heading out into open space

XO Kelson says:
@:: Dives for cover and checks for more incoming missiles ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  The missile flies straight up and into the sun...

SO Lane says:
COMM: Away Team: XO: Commander, we have Breen readings on the planet.

S`Parn says:
$<S'yne>:: Watches the view screen ::

Captain Silek says:
@ XO: Contact the ship...stop that missile !

Host Admiral Taylor says:
@CSO:  I see it.  Did you get a reading on the weapon?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Thinks to self... ::   Self:  Heading out into open space?  And they don't detect us?

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  The missile plows into the sun, beginning a destabilizing reaction...

S`Parn says:
$S'yne: And there she goes, keep on it, I want all the data we can get.

FCO Horn says:
:: Getting very agitated and scared. Her hands begin to tremble slightly ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Hits combadge ::   COMM: SO: Got it, Ms. Lane.  You reading a missile being fired?

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Continues toward the compound... sees the missile fire ::   Silek:  The only hope to stop it now is the Vesuvius or the Typhoon

S`Tall says:
$:: Holds steady, is proud of his work ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: No, sir!

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Sun Darkens...

S`Parn says:
$S`Tall: Nicely done.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Looks up as the sky darkens ::

SO Lane says:
COMM: Away Team: XO: We had it on scans, but it's been fired into the sun.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Looks up at sun ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Looks at her panel and sees unusual readings from her scan. Narrows it down :: CO: The sun

XO Kelson says:
@Self: Oh this can't be good...

Host Admiral Taylor says:
@Turnbull:  S'Toran, I need you to get to their computer.  Download as much as you can and we'll beam you out of the facility!  Go!

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  What's happening with the sun...?

Captain Silek says:
@ XO: Proceed into the compound...we do not have much time

FCO Horn says:
:: Trying to get a better scan of the sun ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  The Sun is collapsing within itself...

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Notices change in the sun ::   Taylor:  Aye sir   :: Continues into the compound toward their control center ::

XO Kelson says:
@COMM: SO: Use whatever means necessary to stop it from proceeding.  Out.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Runs toward complex ::

Captain Silek says:
@:: Runs ::

SO Lane says:
CO: Captain, that missile has destabilized the sun, it's collapsing in on it's self.

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Follows Turnbull, hoping to lend a hand ::

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION: Turnbull finds the computers still operational

Host CO Royce says:
SO:  How much time?

Captain Silek says:
@:: Looks quickly into his tricorder ::   XO: The compound seems empty... but prudence is suggested.

Host Admiral Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Sun explodes outward, sending a Level 12 shockwave toward them at the speed of light...

Cmdr S’Toran Turnbull says:
@:: Enters the control center and accesses the computer...begins downloading
data ::
