Previously on Arcadia:
Host Nick says:
In command of the Hathor, Lieutenant Maui discovered that she had been hurtled back in time nearly a millennium
Host Nick says:
She discovered that the vortex that took her to the past, and presumably the runabout as well, was partially natural, but partially artificial.  It seems that tachyon particles emitted from deflector arrays can react badly with chroniton particles in this region, causing temporal vortexes to emerge.  Once that happens, they can appear any time, anywhere, but they seem to be attracted to warp fields
Host Nick says:
meanwhile, back in the present, the CTO and CO were fending off an assault from the natives while OPS got the runabout back online, unfortunately the runabout will never fly again, but transporters, sensors, and communication are ok.
Host Nick says:
The team has used the transporters to beam the natives out of the mine, and are now prepping the runabout for auto-destruct
Host Nick says:
OPS has ripped the subspace radio out of the runabout and the team is preparing to beam to the surface before destroying the runabout.

OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::nods in agreement::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Glances at the CTO with an odd look and a grin.:: CTO: When I say we're clear I mean it, they are outside the blast radius by a good margin and in different locations, give me some credit Chief...

CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::jokingly:: CTO: Yess, gives her some credits
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Of the blast, maybe Boss, but had ye considered what's gonna happen to the geology around here? We're likely to make a few new fault lines. ::smirks::

FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@OPS_Smith: Smith How are the shields holding?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: We're in a mine, Boss. When ye knock the props outta the bottom level, whatda ya think will happen, eh? The whole mess will pancake level on level like a collapsing building. We'll likely knock half the mountain on its arse.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Ever sees one of those volcanoages of Earth goings boom?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO/CSO: That was taken into account, however to be safe the CSO is checking the numbers.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Are you all set to go?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: In reversage?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
@<OPS_Smith> FCO: Captain, shields are holding steady we have not cleared the vortex yet however. Inertial Dampers are stressed to the Max.

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:

::Nods:: CO: Best to get the OPS and CSO out on the first trip, we can bring up the rear.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We should divide in case protection is needed, I'll go on the first trip, you and the CSO will come on the second.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: This wills be likes your Mount Saint Helen's suckings herself inwards tills she is a flats surfaces and BOOMS! Crater sizes estamateds 700 meters or bigger. Casualties: 0%
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: If we have to split for protection, let me keep the OPS, in case something goes wrong with the self destruct the two of us should be able to puzzle it out, or I'll set up something else.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: That's the magic number 0%, we should be good to go.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Point I'll go first with the CSO then.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Happy landings Boss.
Host Nick says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, perhaps ye can take the unit with ye? Just temporary like? To make sure it gets out safely?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Yes. Bearings in minds though, that I wills nots be having the data of aftershockings until afters the blasting.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: What do we set the clock at?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: Recomendings are 10 minutes. We can gets furthers away thans the beam point and to highers grounds. Just a suggestions.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: You two will be following us. ::She pauses looking at the CTO then nods slowly.:: OPS: what do we need to be safely away a minute?

CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
OPS: 20 milages aways
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: They should be far enough away from the worse of it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Yess, but shaked up they will be nonetheless.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Not too bads mind you.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Earthquakes are survivable, especially if it's as light as you are estimating.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CSO: I am still really concerned this might cause a catastrophic  earthquake, should be about time
Host Nick says:
@INFO: The Hathor is fine after it's last trip, since the FCO was expecting the steep climb there was no real damage this time.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:

CSO: Can ye lock onto our probe and see if we can get scans going with it?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO:Soon as this stops try to get some readings on it...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::regains her feet.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
