________________________________________________________________________

Summary: The shuttle was able to make the hole in the ice and they were able to determine that the dome was still intact and there are still seven lifeforms in there as well. The only thing is to get them out. Due to interference of the environmental changes, the transporters are still risky to use.
 
In the dome the Hamilton, the XO and CMO are going over the plans of the facility. The other 2 scientists and the 2 guards have just gained their consciousness back and are now also trying to figure out what happened. Cracking and popping sounds can be heard with regular intervals, but they seem to increase and get louder.

OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::ShOPSing::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::taps his commbadge::*CO*: Reeves to Captain Gibbs.
 
Action: The CO can hear the XO's message, but it is kind of garbled.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::and ShCTOing::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::pacing the shuttle's conn area taps his Com badge:: *XO*: Go ahead Commander.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: sitting in the shuttle ::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*CO*: What took you so long?
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Working on the facility plans with the CMO.::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*XO*: We're here aren't we... we need to get you all into an area where we can beam you out straight away once the shields are dropped.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::turns to CO:: CO: Sir, transporters are inoperative.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::turns and walks over to the XO.:: XO: Sorry sir. The best way we can rendezvous with them would be in the shuttle bay.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::smiles::*CO*: And I'm glad you are sir.....we think the dome will hold out long enough for beam out when we drop shields...what do the sensors up there say?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: What?!?! Find out what's wrong with them and get them online now!
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::turns to Hamilton:: Hamilton: Alright, one moment Doctor.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: I told you multiple times before today Sir. It's the asteroids vicinity.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::thinks that the CO is like a goldfish::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: Hamilton...how cold is it out there?
 
Action: Frozen lines and circuits causes the console where the CMO works at, to short circuit. The CMO is getting partially thrown backwards... his hands like a little fried.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::turns around and runs over to the CMO, kneeling down beside him checking for a pulse:: CMO: Doctor, doctor do you hear me.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::turns to face the console.:: XO: I won't be able to tell you know.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: We are less than a mile from the facility, are you trying to tell me that you can't boost enough power to the transporters for that?!?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::brings out his tricorder and scans the CMO::
 
Action: A loud snap can be heard within the dome as a large crack has formed in the west part of the dome.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: Yes sir.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: How feasible is it for us to fly into the dome?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: If you put it that way, yes, transporters won't work in any way.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: He's unconscious...minor burns on his hands, seems like a slight neurological shock...get his med kit and heal the burns Hamilton. ::stands up::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: With all due respect Sir,.....HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!!!
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: we are out of time lieutenant, if there isn't a way you find a way, I'm not leaving our crew behind!
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*CO*: Captain...we have one casualty, Dr. Tales has been knocked out, my scans show only a slight neurological shock. But we better get him to sickbay soon.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: Perhaps I can modify the tractor beam.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
Self: What am I saying? ::tries to reconfigure the tractor beam to get people tractored up::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: Do it! ::taps his badge again:: *XO*: We're working on it.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::nods:: XO: We have no time to do that here commander. ::Looks around at the dome.:: We should get out of this dome soon. I do not believe it will hold long enough.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::has to override some warnings::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*CO*: Hamilton just suggested we move to to shuttlebay in here...there must be some way to get the shuttles there out, maybe a door. ::turns to Hamilton:: Hamilton: Let's go.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*XO*: Do you have any operational shuttles in the facility?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::looks at Hamilton:: Hamilton: Well?
 
Action: Another sound can be heard inside the shuttle.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::looks round to the cargo bay entrance:: FCO/OPS: You hear that?
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Captain, isn't there people in there that know how reconfigure the shield to shrink down to a smaller area to protect them?
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Looks around.:: XO: We should head that way. ::Orders the guards to carefully transport the CMO as he walks towards the western door.::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Moves around to shift his weight slightly and closes the cabinet he was looking through::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Aye Sir, I did.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::walks after him:: Hamilton: Do you have any shuttles in working order?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: Yes, I heard it. Checking internal sensors.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: what exactly would that accomplish?
 
Dr Hamilton:
::shrugs:: XO: We might, in the shuttle bay. It still looked intact on the console we checked earlier.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: It would keep them from being crushed by the ice and the dome that is failing.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::nods:: *CO*: Captain, we think we have working shuttles in there.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::checks internal sensors to find out where the sound came from::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*XO*: Give me Hamilton.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*CO*: He's here sir.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*Hamilton*: Can your shuttles fly out through your shields?
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Goes to check for signs of life on the shuttle as he hasn't seen anyone else::
 
Dr Hamilton:
*CO*: Good question Gibbs. We might be able to if the entrance to and from the shuttle bay would be cleared. Think you can manage that flyboy?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*Hamilton*: Send the co-ordinates to our flight console as soon as you are able.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: What if we can open the shuttle bay doors, and fly the shuttle to the opening, then drop shields around the facility...then nothing will fall upon the shuttle...if the Captain can clear the ice.
 
Dr Hamilton:
*CO*: We will be able to in the next main area. It will be about 10 minutes from here.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: My outburst earlier aside Sir, if we could get the shield frequencies of the facility and the shuttle to match, we could get in.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*CO*: Captain, if you manage to clear the ice from the opening, we can fly out on our own. It's crazy enough to work.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Knocks on a wall as he's become stuck somewhere:: Self: Definitely not designed for Lurians. All: Hello?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: We could but from what I hear everyone's already en route to the shuttle bay. You got a map of the facility?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::frowns and slowly turns to the CO:: CO: Sir, I think you should know this. Internal sensors detected a forth life form on board.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: nods :: CO: Aye Sir, I can pull it up right here.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: Take us into a good firing position to hit the main shuttle bay entrance.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Aye Sir.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::motions everyone to follow him and starts to move towards the next main area.::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: Take a phaser and check it out.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::follows Hamilton and his entourage, who are carrying Dr. Tales.....he just hopes the Doc will be alright::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CO: Aye Sir. ::takes a phaser and walks to the back of the shuttle::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: pilots the shuttle to get a good angle on the shuttlebay doors of the facility. ::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::takes OPSs seat because it's nice an warm and taps into fire control::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Tries to jiggle his way free of the obstruction::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::arrives at the back of the shuttle and looks around carefully::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::charges the shuttle’s phaser array to 2% and fires on the main entrance::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: Is it much further, doctor?

Action: The phasers are beginning the melt the ice.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Walks way further up front than the rest and looks around a corner.:: XO: No commander, just here, around this corner.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: Keep us clear of the entrance its self, there should be a shuttle coming out.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Spots OPS and waves:: OPS: Would you mind helping me?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: Good.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Aye Sir, that's foremost on my mind.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::scans the CMO once more, to make sure no more damage has occurred on his nervous system::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: Good, good.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::eyes wide and aims phaser:: CNS: First I would like to know who you are and what you are doing here?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::studies the scans, and sees that the CMO is stable for now.....but he needs to get help soon::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: I'm the Counsellor, I was just assigned to Ganymede and, well I'm stuck Sir.
 
Scene: The ground group enters what seems to be some kind of mess hall. There is one console that still lights up. The others only have sparks coming from them.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: I appreciate the dinner invitation Doctor, but this is not the shuttle bay.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::taps combadge:: *CO*: Sir, do you know of a newly assigned Counselor?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*OPS*: I wasn't informed of one... why?
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Looks at OPS, his agitation being clearly visible thanks to Staurois' ocular implant, and of course the manner in which he's behaving right now::
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Looks a bit annoyed at the XO and walks towards the console.:: XO: Mind you mister know-it-all. If we were to go straight there, we would now be a ice popsicle. Those corridors are too fragile to go through.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
*CO*: I've got someone over here who claims to be a newly assigned Counselor.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::monitors the phasers and the opening in the ice that they are creating::
  
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: I have my transfer papers if you want them!
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::smiles:: Hamilton: Alright doctor, but mind you, we need to hurry.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: How's the spring thaw coming Sir?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: He got papers?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
*CO*: He says he has. I'll free him and then we get to you.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: It's coming.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Pretends to ignore that last comment from the XO and hastily enters a few commands into the console. A few beeps follow to acknowledge what he just entered.::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::starts to feel the effect of the cold air::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
OPS: Secure him down there and bring me the papers.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: thinks to herself, just in time if you ask me...the I think the Captain has lost his mind ::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS: Well, I'll help you. ::puts away the phaser, but keeps prepared, and removes some objects:: *CO*: Aye Sir.
 
Scene: The doors to the shuttle bay are slowly becoming visible to the team in the shuttle.
  
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Thank you, these things just aren't made for people my size.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
Self: well it's about time.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CNS: No, not specifically, but I wonder why you are on board this shuttle?
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Oh that's very simple, I got lost on my way to the bridge I planned to report to the captain, then was told to make my way back down to the shuttle bay, no one was here so I thought I'd have a quick snack! And I guess I must've fallen asleep after all that exercise, it's tough having multiple stomachs.
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Gestures for the XO, the scientists and the 2 guards carrying the CMO to follow him again.:: XO: Shall we go meet our rescuers?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: By all means. Lead the way. ::makes a mock gesture of bowing::
 
Action: A message on the OPS console in front of the CO starts to light up.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CNS: Right. But as you've heard the commanding officer I would like to have the PADD containing your transfer orders and I have to secure you over here. If you need something I can replicate some food for you.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::blinks::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Sure thing. ::Pats his uniform a few times before producing a PADD which he hands over to the man in front of him::
 
Dr Hamilton:
::Moves in front of the door and it opens. Another dark corridor awaits them.::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
CNS: Thank you. ::takes the PADD:: CNS: And what would you like to eat?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::reads through the message::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: looks over quizzically at the CO ::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::taps his badge::*CO*: Captain, we are close to the shuttle bay. I'll hopefully be out soon...catch you on the flip-side.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
Self: Flip side??? Of what?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
*XO*: See you on the outside... Gibbs out.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Good question, some noodles should be fine I don't want to bother you too much.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::walks over to the replicator:: Computer: One plate of noodles.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::follows in step with Dr. Hamilton::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::takes the plate of noodles out of the replicator and hands it over to the CNS:: CNS: Here you go.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::slams his fist down on the console:: Out Loud: DAMN you Hamilton!!!
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Sir? What is it?
 
Action: As the guards pass through the door last it closes. The corridor is now pitch dark.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Thank you so much, you're a life saver! ::Takes the plate off him:: Mind if I sit down over there? ::points::

OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::nods:: 
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::walks back to the front of the shuttle and as soon as the door closed secures the door::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::increases the charge of the phasers by 2% until the opening is completely clear::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::strains his eyes to see....and has a funny feeling, and reaches slowly for his phaser:: Hamilton: Where's the light switch?
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Sir?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: Sir, the PADD. ::hands over PADD::
 
Dr Hamilton:
XO: There is no light switch. It is controlled from a general point. Do you have any wrist lights on you?
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO Take us down to the entrance. ::remodulates the shuttles shields::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Smiles, then takes a seat and begins to eat his noodles, his stomachs already making enough noise to wake someone:: Self: Hope they're not light sleepers if we're stuck down there a while.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::feels this is taking too long:: Hamilton: I do. ::turns his torch on::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: nods :: CO: Aye Sir. :: pilots the shuttle down ::
 
Action: Slowly the doors clear completely and are now free of the ice. It is big enough to fit their own shuttle as well.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
::sends the authorization code to open the doors::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::moves his hand over the room, making sure there are no hidden surprises while his other hand rests on his phaser holster::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Captain, are you going to let us in on what was in that message?

Scene: The doors to the shuttle bay hesitate a little because of the frozen gears, but eventually open.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: Take us in on proximity sensors only, no lights.
  
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::notices a console blinking and goes looking::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Sir, the shield is still up. We'll just bounce off of it unless we can modulate to their frequency.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::notices the asteroids radiation is interfering with EPS systems::
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
FCO: I just did, take us in!
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Raises his plate and shovels the rest in then considers asking for some more and decides not to, he has to make a good first impression after all:: Self: This should last a while, maybe.
 
Dr Hamilton:
XO: Interesting gadget commander, you lead the way... it is just straight on from here, if I remember correctly.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CO: Aye Sir.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::and notices one of the conduits is going to not hold it any longer::
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::stops:: Hamilton: Actually...you lead the way doctor, ::taps his phaser and points the torch forward:: I insist.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: begins to slowly pilot through the opening. ::
 
Action: The conduit above the CO makes a loud 'KLONK' sound and comes loose. It knocks the CO unconscious.
 
CO Cmdr Gibbs:
All: Garrrrr *thud*
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::eyes wide:: Self: Not him again.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
All: What the.......!!!!!
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: Can you take care of him please, I'm kind of busy here.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::nods to the FCO and takes a medkit::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Stirs as he hears a loud noise coming from the front of the shuttle, but stays seated to conserve energy::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: continues to pilot through the opening ::
 
Dr Hamilton:
::shrugs:: XO: If you insist commander. Just keep that thing pointed to the front please. I don't like phaser all that much.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
Self: Yay, CMO too, what am I? OPS, CTO, cook, CMO?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: Just lead the way Hamilton.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::picks out a medical tricorder and starts scanning the CO::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: Chief cook and bottle washer.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::grins:: FCO: And thank you. You'd better watch out, I'll be FCO too.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: Not while I'm alive. ::grins and keeps watching as she pilots into the facility. ::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
FCO: This is no good, his scull almost cracked and although I can repair computers, I can't repair the CO. We need to get him to Sickbay.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::follows Hamilton and his goons::
 
Scene: The shuttle gracefully sits down on the deck. A few other shuttles are there too. Their windows look frozen.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: We're clear. :: begins to set the shuttle down carefully ::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Starts humming to aid his digestion::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::thinks the COs cracked scull didn't damage anything important and slightly smiles::
  
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: once the shuttle is set down, gets up to check on the CO ::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: So, how is Captain Courageous?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
FCO: I stopped the bleeding, but well, that's all I could do. I'm not a medic.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
FCO: And furthermore, he doesn't bother us for a while I guess.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: I guess we should find our wayward XO then.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
FCO: Yes, we can leave him here, he's somewhat stable now. But don't forget the CNS in the back of the shuttle. I guess he finished eating his noodles by now.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Looks around, guessing that they must have set down::
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
OPS: Let's leave the Counselor with him.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::feels cold as the pass through these halls, hoping for a warm.....sonic shower::
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
*XO*: Commander Reeves, this is Lieutenant Van den Dungen. You've got the CMO over there?
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
::Looks towards the front of the shuttle and wonders why there's a blob of heat on the floor with other people around him:: Self: How odd.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::taps his badge::*OPS*: Dr. Tales is unconscious, Lieutenant. We're closing in on the shuttlebay...we will need to get him to sickbay soon.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
*XO*: That's two then, Commander Gibbs is down too.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
:: goes back and opens the door for the CNS :: CNS: Well, seeing as how you're the only one of us with a medical degree, you get volunteered to stay with the Captain.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
*OPS*: Excuse me?
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
*XO*: A conduit ruptured and ended on his head. The bleeding stopped and he is somewhat stable now, but he has to get to sickbay, Sir.
  
CNS LtJg Staurois:
FCO: Ok, what's his condition?
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
::silently curses this whole mission:: *OPS*: Keep him stable Lieutenant. Reeves out.
 
XO LtCmdr Reeves:
Hamilton: We need to pick up the pace Hamilton.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CNS: He's unconscious from a conduit falling on his head.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::closes channel too by tapping his badge::
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
FCO: Oh dear.
 
OPS Lt Van den Dungen:
::takes a look at the PADD and then turns to the CNS:: CNS: I hope the noodles tasted, now you can get to work.
 
CNS LtJg Staurois:
OPS: Excellent.
 
FCO Lt Kcirtap:
CNS: Exactly. Lt Van den Dungen and I have to go and find the XO.
 
Action: The shuttle crew find themselves in the facilities shuttle bay, but strange enough the windows of the other shuttles look frozen. It could mean the temperature out there is lower than it should be.
 
The ground team are still walking towards the end of the corridor. With the phaser torch the team can't see all the way till the end of it. They still have to walk... and who knows what surprise still awaits them. It seems to get colder though.
