::: getting ready to hoof it to the caves :::

Lt_Solis says:
::munching on the rations...mmmmm...frieze-dried peanut butter::

Lt_Mattia says:
::pulls the knapsack onto her shoulders, and scans::

CO_Mikey says:
All: Report

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  The cave entrance is in that direction, about 4 kilometers ::points::

CO_Mikey says:
::getting a little worried::

Lt_Solis says:
::puts up delicious rations and gets out tricorder::

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: I'm not about to leave the runabout here all alone, and we don't have many personnel to spare, what do you reccomend?

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  I'm not picking up any signs of lifesigns; a few creatures, but nothing I detect as being large enough to be a major threat.

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  I guess I could  stay behind and whatch after it...

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: there could something jamming our tricorders, like the dilithium

Lt_Mattia says:
Captain:  Indeed.

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  If I stay behind, may I reccomend keeping an open COM line?

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: By yourself?  I'm not about to lose an officer while I'm on-duty......

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  With our limited numbers, it would seem safer to stay together.

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: I agree, but see about setting up some temporary force-field generators around the runabout......

Lt_Solis says:
CO:  Maybe we should devise some sort of force-field to put around the runabout?

Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  Perhaps if we rig a force field, to protect the runabout while we are away.

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: that should protect it untiul we return, IF we return

Lt_Solis says:
::runs inside the runabout and looks for something to create a force-field with::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: With a sharp mind like that you'll make command very soon

Lt_Mattia says:
Captain:  I'll get to work on it asap.

Lt_Mattia says:
::gets to work, assisting Solis::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: very well, work with Solis

Lt_Mattia says:
::grins over shoulder at the CO::  Command?  Me?  Never......

Lt_Solis says:
::picks up some pattern enhancers:: Self:  These might work, if reprogrammed correctly...

CO_Mikey says:
::whips out tricorder and scans for anything hostile::

Lt_Mattia says:
::grabs some equipment from within the runabout::  Solis:  Excellent; that will work.  Let's get to work.

Lt_Solis says:
::carries the pattern enhancers outside the runabout::

Lt_Mattia says:
Solis:  You start positioning them, I will work on getting power conduits rerouted to maintain a supply to them.

CO_Mikey says:
::sees Solis exit the runabout::

Lt_Solis says:
Mattia:  Aye

Lt_Mattia says:
::starts redirecting what power the shuttle has::

Lt_Solis says:
::walks around the runabout, evenly placing the enhancers around it::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia/Solis: See about using spare phasers as a power source, perhaps the duridium crystal can be utilized somehow

Susman says:
::Appears 5 meters away a great 6 feet Alien::

CO_Mikey says:
::sees the aline:: What the---?!!  ::hastily draws phaser::

CO_Mikey says:
Alien: What do you want with us?

Lt_Solis says:
::checks the power in his phaser::

Unicorns says:
<Alien>  Throws some rocks at the Away team and hids in the foliage..

CO_Mikey says:
Alien:  Again I ask, what do you want of us?

Lt_Mattia says:
Captain:  We should keep enough phasers with us to protect ourselves; we'll use what's left to try to power the pattern enhancer grid.

Unicorns says:
<Alien>  YOU!!!!  FOODD!!!!

Lt_Mattia says:
::sees the alien and stops, standing::

Alien says:
To Eat you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unicorns says:
<::aliens disappear>

Lt_Mattia says:
::hand near phaser, but not particularly threatening::

CO_Mikey says:
::levels phaser:: sory, I taste horrible....

Alien says:
:: Disappears::

CO_Mikey says:
Aliens: Back away, or I will be forced to stun you.... this is a warning

Lt_Solis says:
::looks up from tricorder and sees the alien::  Self:  Interesting...

Lt_Mattia says:
::scans::  Captain:  They don't register on my tricorder.

Unicorns says:
::disappears::

Lt_Mattia says:
::remodulates tricorder frequency, trying to tune them in::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia/Solis: I don't like this one bit....

Lt_Mattia says:
Captain: Nor do I.........  We should try to get out of here ASAP

Lt_Mattia says:
Solis:  What's the status of the force field?

Lt_Solis says:
::ignores the CO's paranoia and goes back to work::

Lt_Solis says:
Mattia:  Everything's in place.  Are you ready to put power to it?

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Well what do you propose?  clapping our shoes together and saying "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"

Lt_Mattia says:
Solis:  Ready.  Stand clear.

Alien says:
:: "Suddenly" some rock falls to AT from the trees::

CO_Mikey says:
::hears rock falling and looks up::

Lt_Mattia says:
::energizes the enhancer array::

Lt_Solis says:
::steps back::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia/Solis: Stand back!!

Lt_Mattia says:
::frowns at the captain:: Sir:  I suggest we get a move on, to get the dilithium

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: What's wrong Lieutenant, no sense of humor

Lt_Mattia says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Pause Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

All: Any luck on finding a frequency so we can track those aliens?

Lt_Solis says:
::standing at the runabout, scanning the enhancers::

Lt_Mattia says:
ACTION:  The forcefield around the runabout holds

Lt_Solis says:
CO: The force-field is holding...for now

Host Lt_Mattia says:
CO:  Aye:  Sir.  I can track them in momentary spells.  I need to keep remodulating to tune them back in.

CO_Mikey says:
Solis/Mattia: Excellent job

Host Lt_Mattia says:
Sir:  I suggest we get a move on.  Let's get those crystals.

Lt_Solis says:
::leaves the runabout and heads back to the rest of the crew::

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: Of course.... let's go...

Host Lt_Mattia says:
::stikes off with a determined stride, setting a brisk pace toward the cavern entrance::

Lt_Solis says:
::takes out some more rations and walks up to the CO:: Want some, captain?  They're good...

Host Lt_Mattia says:
::looks back::  Let's move it!  I don't like that those aliens are out there, and I can't reliably track them.

Alien says:
:: "Suddenly" some rock falls to AT from the trees::

CO_Mikey says:
Solis: No thanks, I'm hoping to find some local animals to eat.... hehe just kidding

Host Lt_Mattia says:
::dives, avoiding the rocks::  Look out!!!

Lt_Solis says:
::looks up and pushes the CO out of the way::

CO_Mikey says:
::gets pushed by Solis::

Host Lt_Mattia says:
::picks self up, brushes self off::  CO:  I recommend we make haste.......  ::tries to remodulate frequency to find the aliens::

Lt_Solis says:
CO: I think we should stop walking and start running...I can't be saving you from falling rocks all day long...

CO_Mikey says:
Mattia: like I said before, let's move out....
