::En route to the bridge::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Scene: The Away team has arrived in a tropical climate, full of lush forests, streams and aquamarine waters, nearby there is a beach which is being soothed by rolling whitecap waves.
TO_Laredo says:
::Arrives in Transporter Room::
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* What's the status of the Tractor Maintenance?
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: I think it would be better for our team to move to the beach. We could set some equipment there.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Senses: A gentle breeze lazily drifts along.
TO_Laredo says:
TC Molecules: Energize.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: Yes sir.
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* The team is still working on it, but they said they'll be ready in a matter of minutes.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* Okay, If it's all good to you I'm going to stay down here and continue supervising.
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Makes scans of the surroundings::
Host CO_Sketek says:
@Cadets: Four of you should come with me and FCO, the rest should go with the CNS.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: I'll take point. sir
Host Cadet Ranger says:
CO: Ok ::cheerful::
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* Please do. I'll be on the bridge.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The Away team divides into 2 groups.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* Capulette Out.
TO_Laredo says:
$::Materializes on the Planet in the midst of Team One::
CNS_Jordain says:
$TO: Ha, Mr. Laredo. How nice of you to join us.
OPS_Capulette says:
*Engineering Teams 5 & 9* How's the work on the Intermix Shaft Coming?
CTO_Senek says:
::Arrives at the bridge and asks for a status report::
Host CO_Sketek says:
@::Looks at four cadets and the FCO and then starts walking towards the beach::
FCO_Durron says:
@::Heads for the beach sweeping the phaser rifle back and fourth checking the area and listing::
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO/Cadets: Follow me.
TO_Laredo says:
$CNS: Greetings, care to inform me as to what we're doing?
FCO_Durron says:
@::Stops and looks at the CO mutters something than:: CO: yes sir.
Engineering Teams 5&9 Leader says:
*OPS* One of the beams in the shaft is loose, we're replacing it and diverting all lifts to the secondary shaft.
FCO_Durron says:
@::Follows the CO listing for movement::
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: Let's stay alert.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: Always sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
$TO: We have 8 cadets with us to see how life is here out in space.  They are here for a science mission.
OPS_Capulette says:
*E.T.5&9* Good deal, stay safe, Capulette Out.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The two groups split up and go off adventuring.
CTO_Senek says:
::Notes that nothing of importance has happened on the bridge::
TO_Laredo says:
$CNS: I See
CNS_Jordain says:
@TO: There still a bit unsure but it will pass
Host CO_Sketek says:
@::Making his way through the tropic jungle to get to the beach::
CTO_Senek says:
::Monitors the activities of the away teams::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: 30 uneventful minutes pass as the cadets take samples and enjoy their field trip.
Host CO’s Cadets says:
@::Looking around and admiring the scenery::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Props feet up on CEO's desk::
FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks around the beach still paranoid::
TO_Laredo says:
$CNS: They're Cadet's, I suppose its not unusual
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: We should probably request some climate monitoring equipment from the Andromeda. It should be no problem to beam that equipment down.
CNS_Jordain says:
$::Looks up for a moment away from the group and sees a shadow. A humanoid shadow near the tree line about 100 meters away::
TO_Laredo says:
$CNS: Yeah I see it too.
Host CNS’ Cadets says:
@::Ignorantly collecting soil samples and talking::
CTO_Senek says:
::Sits idly in the center chair, monitoring away teams and repair status from time to time::
CNS_Jordain says:
$::Moves a bit closer to the shadow to take a closer look::
Host CO’s Cadets says:
@::Begin to take water samples::
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: Sounds like a good idea sir.
E.T. 5&9 says:
*OPS* Finished with the Intermix shaft. Team Nine is off shift now, where should Team Five go?
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*OPS* We require weather and climate measuring equipment. Please prepare and beam down some equipment.
FCO_Durron says:
@::Glances at the CO again and than continues to prowl around the area::
CNS_Jordain says:
$::Sees the shadow move away until it is totally concealed:: *CO* Captain, we are............not alone.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: Do you think one could fly a shuttle in this atmosphere?
OPS_Capulette says:
*CO* Aye sir. ::Walks to a panel and brings up the transporter subsystems:: *CO* Transporting now. ::Initiates Transport of monitoring equipment::'
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: One quick weapons burst lashes out from 1000 meters distance and a cadet slumps to the ground after being struck.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*CNS* Can you be more specific? Do your tricorders pick something?
FCO_Durron says:
@::Glances at the clear sunny sky:: CO: Short of a hurricane it shouldn't be a problem.  I would want to look at sensor data to make sure but I don't see why not.
OPS_Capulette says:
*E.T.5&9* Team 5 can head to Deck 25 and work on the Antimatter Generator maintenance.
CTO_Senek says:
::Notices small arms fire near CNS's team::
CNS_Jordain says:
$*CO* I don't need a tricorder to know sir, i have seen a shadow near the tree line and so has the TO
CTO_Senek says:
*CNS* I'm detecting weapons fire. What happened?
Host CO_Sketek says:
@Cadets: Please help with this equipment.
FCO_Durron says:
@::Continues to look around::
CNS_Jordain says:
$*CTO* What, weapons fire?  ::Looks around::
TO_Laredo says:
$::Points to the cadet::  CNS: One of the Cadets has been hit by weapons fire.  That was a good hit, it's gotta be a sniper. ::Runs to the cadet:: CNS: He's been stunned.
Host CO’s Cadets says:
@CO: Yes Sir!
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*CNS* I repeat, can you be more specific? What is your status?
CTO_Senek says:
*CNS* You'd better do something to find out what happened, quickly. I'm absolutely certain that small arms fire has taken place near your position.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Another single burst of light lashes out from a great distance and hits a cadet who is standing looking around confused.......CNS Cadet slumps to the ground.
CNS_Jordain says:
$::Runs towards the cadets:: *CO/CTO* A cadet has been stunned and it was a good shot, it must be a sniper of some sort....  ::Sees another cadet fall::
TO_Laredo says:
$::Notices another blast::
FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks at the tree line for movement and stops moving::
CTO_Senek says:
*CNS* You aren't safe there, I'm going to order you beamed up.
CNS_Jordain says:
$*Andromeda/CO* Get us out a here, right now
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The other 2 of the CNS' cadets have fled in terror and have become lost.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* I think the repairs are under control as of right now, what's the status right now?
CTO_Senek says:
*TR1* Beam up the away team, they're under attack.
CNS_Jordain says:
$::Sees the cadets run off:: *Andromeda/CO* Belay that order.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: It appears that we have a problem.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: It would appear that way sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
$*Andromeda/CO* Get the cadets out of here, two are missing and we need to find them.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: The CNS' away team is recalled to the Andromeda minus the 2 who have dropped their COM badges in the confusion and are lost.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: Two cadets were stunned, two are lost. The stunned ones were beamed back but the those that are lost, we must find, somehow.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Medical Personnel take the stunned cadets to sickbay.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: As the second officer of the ship, what is your suggestion for a plan?
CNS_Jordain says:
::Runs out the transporter room and makes his way to the bridge:: TO: See that these cadets are taken care of.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: We could probably find them with the sensors. Can’t be to many humans on the planet.
TO_Laredo says:
CNS: Aye ::Runs to Sickbay::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives on the bridge and sees the CTO::
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: At least transporters can't pick them up so I'm not sure if sensors are any help in this situation.
Host Dr_Karr says:
::Begins scanning cadets as the nurses put them on the bio beds....electronic equipment begins to hum with their vital signs::
Host CO’s Cadets says:
CO: What’s going on? ::Confused::
TO_Laredo says:
::Arrives in Sickbay:: Dr_Karr: What’s their status?
CNS_Jordain says:
CTO: I need to get back to the surface, to search for the 2 cadets. They can't defend themselves
Host CO_Sketek says:
@Cadets: There is an unknown hostile being on this planet that stunned two of the cadets in the other team.
FCO_Durron says:
@CO: we could than probably take a shuttlecraft and fly low.  Probably find them. sir
Host Dr_Karr says:
TO: Severe stun from some type of energy weapon, I would put the distance at 1000 meters and an entry trajectory of 45 degrees, probably from a very high location, they should be fine.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@FCO: That sounds a very good idea.
Host CO’s Cadets says:
::Drop their samples and look worried::
TO_Laredo says:
Dr_Karr: I see, thank you, I'll be back later to check on them
CTO_Senek says:
CNS: I'd rather go myself and leave you in command here.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Picks up a PADD off the desk and begins reviewing M/AM Intermix Ratios:: Self: This could be so much more efficient.
TO_Laredo says:
::Leaves sickbay and enters the Turbolift:: TL: Bridge
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*Andromeda*: This is Captain Sketek, please come in.
CTO_Senek says:
*CO* Andromeda here.
CNS_Jordain says:
CTO: No, I will go. You are more useful on the ship then I am. By the way, I find myself responsible for their disappearance so I have to go.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*CTO* We will start a search and rescue operation with a shuttle and armed security team.
CTO_Senek says:
*CO* Understood. I'll command the security team myself.
TO_Laredo says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and sees the CNS::  CNS: The doc says that they have been severely stunned from a high distance of 1000 meters but that they will be fine.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*CTO* The FCO will naturally fly but you are free to select the other officers to the security team.
CNS_Jordain says:
*CO* Captain, Please let me come to the surface. I feel responsible for there disappearance.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*CNS/CTO* If it is ok with the security team, you can naturally go. I will come back to the Andromeda bridge whatever happens.
CTO_Senek says:
TO: You'll join me in the search team. Get us phaser rifles and four other security officers to accompany us.
CTO_Senek says:
CNS: If your presence is not needed here, you're free to join us.
TO_Laredo says:
CTO: Aye Sir.
Host TC Molecules says:
*CO* Awaiting orders.
FCO_Durron says:
@*Flight Deck Chief Shulkee*: Prep a shuttlecraft for a low altitude search.
Host CO_Sketek says:
@*Andromeda* Six to beam up.
TO_Laredo says:
CTO: Shall I meet you in TR1?
Flight Deck Chief Shulkee says:
*FCO* Aye, sir.
CTO_Senek says:
TO: We'll be using a shuttle on this mission. We'll need its capability to search large areas of land in a short time.
CNS_Jordain says:
CTO: Of course I will come.  Lets find our lost sheep.
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The CO's Away team is recalled to the Andromeda.
TO_Laredo says:
CTO: Right.
FCO_Durron says:
::Materializes on the Andromeda and heads for the shuttle bay at a run.::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO* You will have a dangerous mission with the shuttle. Take care of yourself. Cadets: For the time being, you may go to your quarters or use the recreational facilities of the ship.
CTO_Senek says:
*OPS* We have a situation on the planet. Two of the cadets are missing. The remaining members of the away teams have been called back, and we're now mounting a rescue operation.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CTO* I'm coming to the bridge.
Host Cadets says:
CO: Yes Sir ::run off::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Bolts out of the chair and runs to the nearest Turbolift:: CPU: Bridge, and make it snappy.
CTO_Senek says:
CNS, TO: To the Shuttle Bay. ::Gets to a Turbolift::
TO_Laredo says:
Security Hatfield: Meet me in the shuttle bay with three other officers and arm your self with phaser rifles.  ::Goes to the armory and takes a rifle himself::
Host CO_Sketek says:
::On a Turbolift heading to the bridge::
TO_Laredo says:
::Gets on the Turbolift::
FCO_Durron says:
*Flight Deck Chief Shulkee*...Type six shuttles I need it now.
CTO_Senek says:
*FCO* Do we have a shuttle ready?
CNS_Jordain says:
::Follows the CTO::
CTO_Senek says:
::Waits for CNS and TO to enter the Turbolift, then orders it to Shuttle Bay 1::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Exits the Turbolift and heads to OPS::
FDC Shulkee says:
*FCO* Alright, alright I'll get the teams moving.
FCO_Durron says:
*CTO* Probably I am not at the Shuttle bay yet they are working on it now.
OPS_Capulette says:
Bridge Crew: What's our status?
FCO_Durron says:
*TC Molecules* Emergency transport to shuttle bay.
Sec_Hatfield says:
*TO*We are in the Shuttle bay.
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The FCO beams to SB1.
FDC Shulkee says:
::Looks at FCO:: SB crew: Move it people!
CTO_Senek says:
::Arrives at the Shuttle Bay and looks for FCO::
TO_Laredo says:
::Exits the Turbolift and heads to the shuttle::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Just behind the TO exiting the Turbolift::
FCO_Durron says:
::Jogs into the class six and starts pre-flight checks as the Shuttle bay team quickly wipe off the impulse injectors::
CTO_Senek says:
::Spots FCO entering a shuttle, gets there::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Enters the Shuttle bay and runs towards the shuttle::
FDC Shulkee says:
::Spots the CTO::CTO: we are prepping the Rhine. She is over there :: points::
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The shuttle is taxied to the launch position along guides.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Arrives at the bridge::
FCO_Durron says:
*CTO* Shuttle prepped and ready to go.
CTO_Senek says:
FDC_Shulkee: Thanks. ::Runs to the shuttle and points the security team to the right shuttle::
CTO_Senek says:
FCO: Good. Launch as soon as everyone's inside.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Sees only the OPS on the bridge::
CNS_Jordain says:
::Sees the security team with the CTO and follows them::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: I'm still not quite sure what's going on here.
TO_Laredo says:
::Enters the shuttle::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: There is a hostile being on the planet.
FCO_Durron says:
Sec_Officers: Move it.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: It stunned two cadets from the away team across a great distance.
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: Launch Panels rise from the floor and slide in behind the impulse engines.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Goodness.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: The other two cadets who were with the CNS panicked and got lost.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: So what's the plan?
CTO_Senek says:
::Security team enters the shuttle::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: The ones who were stunned should be fine but the ones who were lost are in danger.
CTO_Senek says:
FCO: Go.
FDC Shulkee says:
*FCO* Your good to go boss.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: A search and rescue operation with a low-altitude shuttle and an armed security team.
CNS_Jordain says:
::On the shuttle an checks all his personal gear including the usual stuff::
FCO_Durron says:
::Shuts the door automatically from the console:: COM:Andromeda: Rhine to Andromeda. We are ready to go. Clear the deck and open the Bay doors
OPS_Capulette says:
::Nods:: CO: Not much else we can do here, then is there?
Host TC Molecules says:
Noise: High Pitched whine of the impulse engines.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: We could start sweeping the surface with our scanners but that's about all we can do.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: If that's all we can do then that's what we'll do.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Activates SRS and Planetary scanners::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Yes, let's do so.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Receives a request for shuttle opening, approves the Shuttle Launch::
FDC Shulkee says:
::Arrives in Flight Deck Control and wonders why the shuttle bay doors aren't already open::
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The shuttle bay doors retract revealing a curtain of stars and the slant of the plant's blue atmosphere below.
FDC Shulkee says:
::Slaps the control to open the Shuttle bay doors::
CNS_Jordain says:
All: Lets get our lost boys.
FCO_Durron says:
::Eases the throttle up to until he is clear of the Andromeda::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Continues Scanning::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: No such luck with the SRS as of yet.
Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The Shuttle exits the shuttle bay and arcs towards the planet on an entry vector.
TO_Laredo says:
::Finishes checking his gear::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: The chances of finding them are very slim, unfortunately.
FCO_Durron says:
::Jams the throttles full and dives to the planet near the area that the cadets were:: Sec_Team: Might want to hold on to something.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: True. Might not be the best time, but I've been meaning to speak with you regarding a request for Position Transfer.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Oh?
CNS_Jordain says:
::Speaks to himself but just a bit to hard so that a few hear him:: Self: Hold on cadets hold on ::Puts his hands over his eyes and starts thinking::
CTO_Senek says:
::Rehearses search and rescue tactical maneuvers in his mind::
TO_Laredo says:
::Jerks forward:: FCO: Thanks for the warning.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: I've noticed the absence of a fully functional Engineering department and I've been thinking that perhaps I would be better suited for the Chief Engineer's Position.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: If you wish to transfer departments, I have absolutely nothing against it.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Okay, I'll file the necessary paperwork and have it on your desk ASAP.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: I'll also consider who might work well in crew as an OPS replacement.
Host TC Molecules says:
