Mitch says:
::pacing in the aft section::

CO_Mikey says:
FCO: ETA to the planet?

Lt_Mattia says:
::at the Science station, scanning away::

Lt_Solis says:
::sitting at the tactical area or the runabout::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: anything on sensors yet?

Ens_Moore says:
::sits quietly until he is needed::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I'm scanning the planet surface now.  Detecting rich mineral deposits, raw dilithium, concentrated in one area, mainly

Lt_Mitch says:
::sits down on a bench in the aft section:: FCO: We there yet?

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: very well....

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: anything on Tactical sensors? Any hostiles?

CO_Mikey says:
::walks over and takes over Flight Controls::

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  Nothing in the area, sir.

Ens_Moore says:
CO: 3 minutes to high orbit sir

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  It looks like we shouldn't have any trouble on this survey; the area looks clear for a clean landing.

Lt_Mattia says:
::attention caught by incoming sensor data::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Well, that's good, I don't like surprises....

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  The raw dilithium appears to be concentrated underground......

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: would you like to test your piloting skills Ensign?

Lt_Mattia says:
::gets a feeling we're going spelunking::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Yes sir

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: how far underground?

Lt_Mitch says:
::is so bored::

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: go right ahead.. ::hands over FCs to Moore::

Lt_Mitch says:
Self: Maybe, I shoulda stayed on Arcadia::

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: Is something wrong Lieutenant?

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  400 meters, or so.....  I'm looking for a convenient landing place now.

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Thank you sir

Lt_Solis says:
::looks at the planet outside the window::

Ens_Moore says:
co: we are in orbit sir

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Nothing, sir. Just a little bored...

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: very good....

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: Don't worry, I'll give you plenty to do on the planet ::grins::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I hope so...

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: very well, if you feel up to it, take us down

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Prepare for landing sir?

Ens_Moore says:
::engages landing maneuvers::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  The terrain is very mountainous.  It looks like we can land though, provided our pilot is skillful enough.  ::grins::  Feeding the coordinates to Flight control now, sir.

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Lionel experiences buffeting while flying throuhgh the atmosphere.

Lt_Mitch says:
::braces for impact, not that he doesn't trust the pilot::

Lt_Mattia says:
::glad she fastened her seatbelt before takeoff::

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Ensign, would you like someone else to take over?

Lt_Solis says:
::holds onto TAC console::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: No thank you sir the buffeting is not to severe

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Lionel is suddently jarred...  ETA to planet surface 3 minutes.

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Very well, continue.  And you don't have to say "sir" so much.... although I appreciate it

Lt_Solis says:
::falls out of chair::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: ETA to planet surface is 3 minutes

Lt_Mattia says:
::frowns at the sensor data::  CO:  My earlier readings are confirmed; atmospheric conditions are normal.  I can't explain the buffeting

Lt_Mitch says:
::grins at Solis::

Lt_Solis says:
::gets back up::

Lt_Mattia says:
::looks at Solis:: I'd fasten that seatbelt this time....

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: <whsipering> Perhaps our stand-in FCO is having a little trouble.... I wouldn't worry

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Lionel is jarred three more times...  ETA to surface 2 minutes.

Lt_Solis says:
::manages to stay in his seat, this time::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: ETA to surface is 2 minutes

Lt_Mattia says:
::continues scanning::

Lt_Mitch says:
All: I have a baaaad feeling about this.....

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Very good, just ease her in nice and steady....

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Aye, sir

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Any signs of life down there?

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  No change in readings from the planet, but I'm picking up some sort of compound on the hull......  Readings indicate it is organic

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The port thruster of the Lionel powers down.  It appears that something is blocking the hole.  The Lionel is jarred several more times.

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Could that be causing this buffetting?

Ens_Moore says:
::runs a diagnostic program which steadies ship::

Lt_Solis says:
::wonders what is going on::

Lt_Mitch says:
Self: Creepy....

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  It could certainly affect our navigation.

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  Just small herbivores

Lt_Solis says:
All:  Is it just my console, or did our port thruster just power down?

Ens_Moore says:
Solis: Port thruster is down

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Lionel begins spiraling as the port thuster was jammed/blocked/whatever.

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  I'm trying to get a more definitive reading on the compound; it doesn't seem to match anything in our database.

CO_Mikey says:
All: ok, this is enough, prepare to send an electro-magnetic current to go through the hull.... that should get... whatever is on us off!

Ens_Moore says:
::attempts to steady ship::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: 5oo meters to surface

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  I think we should try landing safely, first...

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: We may not have that chance.......

Lt_Mitch says:
::nods:: All: Okay, I have a REALLY bad feeling about this...

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: See if you can get us into orbit, try your darndest mister!

Ens_Moore says:
::engages safety landing program::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  Aye, sir.  I'll work with tac.  ::sends data on the organism to the tac station::  I'd suggest a series of charges, to the hull.

Ens_Moore says:
::attemts to increase altitude::

Ens_Moore says:
CO; 100 meters to surface!!!!!!!!!!!!

CO_Mikey says:
All: This isn't going to work, brace for impact!!

Lt_Solis says:
All:  Brace for impact!

Lt_Mitch says:
::braces for impact- AGAIN!::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  Ready to activate charges.

CO_Mikey says:
::looks around to see that all the seats are taken and grabs the back of a nearby chair::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Lionel strikes the surface, not far from the intended landing site.  Panels explode, lights go out, people are rattled around.  Everyone is knocked unconscious.

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Now!

Lt_Solis says:
::KO-ed::

Lt_Mitch says:
::darkness falls::

Lt_Mattia says:
::hits head on Science Console::

CO_Mikey says:
::thrown backwards....::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  You are all uncertain of how much time has passed.  An annoying sleeping sound is the only thing you hear before you can open your eyes.

Ens_Moore says:
::blinks::UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHH

Lt_Mattia says:
::starts to regain consciousness, slowly......., tries to figure out what happened::

Lt_Mitch says:
::opens eyes::

CO_Mikey says:
::has a VERY bad headache::

Lt_Solis says:
::pleasent dreams seem to fade away, as reality returns::

Lt_Mattia says:
::holds head, frowning::  All right, who's snoring????  ::searches for the emergency lights::

CO_Mikey says:
::slowly gaining consciousness::

Lt_Mitch says:
Self: I had a bad feeling about that....

Lt_Solis says:
::sees light radiating from TAC console::

Lt_Mattia says:
All:  Everyone ok?  ::checks self for bruises::

Ens_Moore says:
:;tries to get up::ouch

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: if you complain so much, why were you assigned to this Away Team? ::holding head::

Ens_Moore says:
All: wha's that sound?

Lt_Solis says:
::limps over to console to see what it is::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I don't complain, I merely observe.

Lt_Solis says:
All:  It's coming from my console

Lt_Mitch says:
::indignant::

Ens_Moore says:
::gets up::

Lt_Mattia says:
::unbuckles her seatbelt::  CO:  I'd suggest we try and restore power; I'll get started on it.

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: well, observe our current condition if you will

Lt_Mattia says:
::crawls under a console, pulling open panels::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Observing, sir...

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: very good lieutenant

Lt_Mitch says:
::walks to the back::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I'm observing a coolant leak over here!

Lt_Solis says:
CO: There is a slow containment leak in the warp core of the Lionel.   At this rate, it will fail in 20 minutes.

Ens_Moore says:
::looks for the medkit::

CO_Mikey says:
Anyone: how's the atmosphere outside? can we breath it without an extra respiration pack?

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: great..... ::raising voice:: All right, everyone, grab what you can, we are evacuating the runabout....

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I think it's okay... Class-L High altitudes.... could be a little light-headed...

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  We should manage okay; I recommend we take respiration packs and other emergency gear, however.  Just in case we have to go hiking.

Ens_Moore says:
All: Hold still so i can run medical scans

Lt_Solis says:
::opens panel and hands everyone a phaser:: We made need these...

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: I'm afraid we don't have the time

Lt_Mattia says:
Moore:  I'm okay........Just a little bumped around

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: good idea Lieutenant....

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  No luck restoring power.

Lt_Mattia says:
::crawls out, and takes the rifle::

Lt_Mitch says:
Moore: I'll live...

CO_Mikey says:
All: everyone grab something

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: that means you

Lt_Mattia says:
::grabs emergency gear, strapping it in a pack on her back::

Lt_Mitch says:
::grabs a rifle::

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  Ready when you are.

Lt_Mitch says:
::and a starfleet pack::

Lt_Solis says:
::takes the field rations, since everyone else seems to be afraid of them::

Ens_Moore says:
::grabs equipment and runs:: All: anyway of communicating with Arcadia?

CO_Mikey says:
All: I'll get the emergency sub-space transceiver, it's in the back......

Lt_Solis says:
::sets tricorder to warn off containment failure::

Lt_Solis says:
::outside::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I've been observing... and what I've been observing is this... We should run!

CO_Mikey says:
All: everybody out now!

Lt_Mitch says:
::walks out::

Lt_Mattia says:
::exits the runabout, scanning the area around them::

CO_Mikey says:
::leaves the interior of the runabout::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The Team standing outside of the Lionel can see some sort of orange goop sticking to the hull.  The Port thruster is clogged with the stuff.

Lt_Mattia says:
All:  It looks pretty safe; I still don't detect any potentially dangerous life signs.

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  What should we do?  Even if we successfully collect the dillithium, it won't do us any good, if we don't have a ship!

Lt_Mattia says:
::scans the goop, collecting data::  CO:  I'd like to try and get  a sample.

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: I'd like to try and kill it.

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: good observation, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear you were Mitch ::smirks::

CO_Mikey says:
All: can anyone attempt to stop that containment failure?

Ens_Moore says:
CO: With your permission may I attempt ti seal that coolant leak?

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: be careful though

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  You have the sub-space transiever, right?

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: go ahead.....

Lt_Mattia says:
::moves closer to the goop, and phasers a small sample loose::

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: yes, though I am unsure if it is in working order

Ens_Moore says:
::enters the lionel:;

Lt_Mattia says:
:;scoops the sample up into a specimen jar, and seals it::

Ens_Moore says:
::attempts to locate source of leak::

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  May I see it?

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The goop sizzles and falls to te ground.

CO_Mikey says:
::shouting:: Moore: but hurry!  if you can't stp it in 5 minutes get out of there!

Lt_Mattia says:
::scoops the sample into a specimen jar, and seals it::

CO_Mikey says:
::hands the sub-space transceiver to Solis::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: I have found the source what do i seal it with?

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: whatever you can!

Lt_Solis says:
::examines it, checking if it is in working order::

Lt_Mattia says:
::studies the jar contents briefly, and sticks it in her pack::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: You know what would be an exercise in irony? If we used the goop to seal the warp core.... It crashed us after all...

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: yes it would be ironic, you know what else would be ironic, if you helped get us off this planet!

Ens_Moore says:
CO: it is a dissconncted power conduit that runs to the am containers can i generate power to the am containment field?

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Stand by

Lt_Mitch says:
::rolls up sleeves and gets cracking::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Aye sir

CO_Mikey says:
::runs inside with a phaser::

CO_Mikey says:
::along side Moore::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  What about using our phasers to power?

Lt_Mitch says:
Moore: Have you considered using the power supply of these Type IV Phaser Rifles?

Ens_Moore says:
ALL; get in here with your phasers we need to do this

Lt_Mitch says:
::hands Moore his rifle::

Lt_Mattia says:
::goes back into the runabout::

CO_Mikey says:
All: if that containment goes, we all die, get out of here!

Ens_Moore says:
All: Aim at that conduit

Lt_Mitch says:
::starts sweating::

Ens_Moore says:
:;runs to tac console::

CO_Mikey says:
All: combine your phaser's power, hurry!

Lt_Solis says:
::calculates possibilities...well, I can't get far enough away to survive it this thing blows, so I might as well help the others::

Ens_Moore says:
:;redirects power to am containers::

Lt_Mattia says:
::complies with the CO's instructions::

Lt_Mitch says:
Moore: How much longer?

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Well?!

Lt_Mattia says:
::moves to help Moore redirect the tactical console power::

Ens_Moore says:
All; leave it is not worth risking all of our lives

Lt_Solis says:
::runs back into runabout and sees tTAC display still on::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The anti-matter contianment failure ceases.  However the field strength is at minimal levels.

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: it's too late now, we either fix, or we all die

Lt_Mitch says:
Moore: in 20 secs? Too late

Ens_Moore says:
::wipes forehead::

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Excellent work Ensign!

Lt_Mattia says:
::sighs::  It's under control for the moment, CO.

Ens_Moore says:
CO: thank you sir

Lt_Mitch says:
::pats Moore on the back:: Moore: At leats, you're a better engineer than a pilot. :D

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  Do you think the emergency power running this console is enough to keep the containment feild stable a little longer?

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: enough for us to call for help hopefully.... if we get more power...

Ens_Moore says:
::looks at Mitch:: Mitch: Thank you sir(sarcastically)

Lt_Solis says:
::looks down at console and sees something new::

Lt_Mitch says:
Moore: Oh no, thank you! (double sarcastic)

Ens_Moore says:
CO: The dilitium crystal was not aligned properly sir

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: More power.... More power... ::snaps fingers:: Dilithium deposits!

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  According to this data, the dilithium crystal is not aligned...that could be the couse of the power loss

CO_Mikey says:
Moore/Mitch/Solis: well.... great minds think alike eh?

Lt_Mattia says:
::watches the discussion about the crystal::

Lt_Mattia says:
All:  Well, it would seem a good idea to try and align it......

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Sir, I was referring to the rich source of dilithium on this planet ::points at floor::

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Shall we proceed with the retreival of the dilithiun sir?

CO_Mikey says:
All: ok, we need some of the dilithium crystals n this planet to help power the runabout......

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: yes, we should if at all possible

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Shall we attempt to realign the Lionel's crystal?

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: if you can

Lt_Solis says:
::while the rest of the crew discuss what to do next, Solis starts munching on field rations::

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  I have the data and coordinates of the nearest deposit, but it would seem safest to attempt realignment

Ens_Moore says:
CO: I will attempt to sir

CO_Mikey says:
All: we'll form teams....

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  In the meantime, I will try to clear that organism off our hull.

Ens_Moore says:
::opens panels::

Host JamesGM says:
Action:  The casing holding the crystal is filled with the shattered remains of the dilithium.

Lt_Mattia says:
ummm, if that's ok, sir.

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: I hate to keep repeating myself, be careful!

Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  You know me, caution is my middle name.

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Sir the dilithium is shattered

Lt_Solis says:
::checks power cell in phaser::  CO:  We may be able to phaser our way to the dilithium. . .

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: as I see.... well, looks like you're all miners now.....

Lt_Mattia says:
::pauses, and considers the priorities::

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: with ship's phasers *perhaps*

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  Well, do you have any other suggestions?

Lt_Solis says:
CO; "sir"

Ens_Moore says:
CO: We should attempt to contact Arcadia sir

Lt_Mitch says:
Solis: I have one!

Lt_Solis says:
Lt:  Yes?

Lt_Mattia says:
::moves outside, and starts studying the organism, trying to figure the best way to get it off the hull without damaging the organism unnecessarily::

CO_Mikey says:
Moore: Good idea, but do we have enough power currently, I don't think so....

Lt_Mitch says:
What's the blast range of a small photon torpedo like we have on board? 500 meters all around?

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch, with no way to fire them!

Ens_Moore says:
CO: Nevertheless sir we should contact them and tell them of our situation

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: but..... we *could* detonate it remotely.....

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Excellent idea, sir! Glad you thought of it!

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: no, it would destroy the dilithium crystals.....

Lt_Mattia says:
::recalls that the phaser fire worked in gathering the sample, goes back in the runabout::

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Not neccesarily. the deposit STARTS at 400 m and must extend quite a bit downwards....

Lt_Solis says:
::notcies something on tricorder screen::  CO: it appears that the cave complex detected while in orbit has an opening approximately 1 kilometer away from the Lionel.

CO_Mikey says:
Mitch: well, we'll work on that idea....

Lt_Mitch says:
CO: Of course, sir.

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: well, looks like we're going spelunking

Lt_Mattia says:
::looks around::  All:  I think I can use a rifle to clear the organism away   ::hears the discussion, and waits to see what is transpiring::
