::in the turbolift on the way to the bridge::

EO_Ironwolf says:
::Sitting at Engineering station on the bridge, eavesdropping, but trying not to be too obvious about it::

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
::stands on the bridge listening to the ideas flowing about getting through the ice::

MO_Brabas says:
*CMO* : We would need suits don’t we?

SFI_Berlin says:
::Watching and listening to see if there is anything she could/should add::

FCO_Worthington says:
::continues to maintain standard orbit::

CTO_To`Mach says:
::downloads the results from the simulation::

CMO_Siatty says:
*MO*: Yes, but sometimes suits aren't enough.  I just want to make sure we're ready.

Host Dr_Williams says:
CO: Phasers at high output may be enough to cut a shaft through the ice.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sizing up the mission parameters. Looking everywhere for an effective way of clearing the Ice from the path of the ship without causing damage::

CIV_Tresme says:
::wondering what the CTO is like and if he'll be a jerk about her not being Starfleet::

::crawls out of a Jeffries tube back into ME::

CTO_To`Mach says:
::walks around to CO and XO::

MO_Brabas says:
::He leaves the laboratory for preparation:: *CMO*: Don’t worry I will have everything ready.

EO_Ironwolf says:
CO: Begging your pardon Ma'am.

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
DrW: Well we won't know until you get down there.

OPS_Lyon says:
::turns in his seat and faces the rest::

Host XO_Arconus says:
CO:  Well need the CSO, medical, engineering, FCO, OPS, myself and the Dr for the investigation on the planet.

SO_Praught says:
CO: I'm picking up minimal oxygen on the planet.  If we go down, we'll need rebreathers.

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
EO: Yes Richard?

OPS_Lyon says:
::blinks:: Self: Me?

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
::nods at Breigh::

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO/XO: Ma'am...I have an idea that might get rid of the ice.

CIV_Tresme says:
::steps out of the Turbolift and stands quietly at the TAC station waiting to report for duty when the CTO gets free::

CMO_Siatty says:
*MO*: Thanks, I didn't doubt that for a second.

SO_Praught says:
::Sees the nod and goes back to scanning::

Host CO-T`Kerl says:

EO_Ironwolf says:
CO: If we can get a clean path to the ship, I think I can get a team down there

CNS_Tempest says:
::reviews some of the last crew evaluations::

CMO_Siatty says:
XO: How many Medical personnel do you want?

MO_Brabas says:
*CMO* : Do not worry, Jovan out.

::listening into the CTO's conversation::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Overhears the SO and makes the appropriate mental note::

OPS_Lyon says:
::gets up from his seat, waves Andrew over, and joins the discussion in the middle of the bridge::

Host XO_Arconus says:
CMO:  Just one.  Feel like some skiing?

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Ma'am if we use the ships phasers we should be able to melt the ice.....With the power of the phasers the heat would evaporate the water as the ice melts.

EO_Ironwolf says:
CO: By using good old fashioned battlefield transport pads we can drop one down the shaft and use a shuttle at the shaft head to channel a tight beam transport signal down the shaft.

SO_Praught says:
CO: There temperature is currently registering at -20C.  There is little atmospheric activity except for strong gale force winds, ma'am.  No noticeable precipitation.

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
::looks at the XO and Dr. Williams:: XO/DrW: What do you think of either of these suggestions?

OPS_Lyon says:
CO: Sounds plausible.

CEO_Banister says:
*Team A* Status on those level2 diagnostics?

CMO_Siatty says:
XO: Do I feel like it?  No, can I do it?  Yes.  I'll be sure to grab a warm jacket.

EO_Ironwolf says:
CO: We would have to go down one at a time, but I have seen people materialize after having part of a beam diverted, not something I care to repeat.

Host CO-T`Kerl says:
SO: Thank you Breigh...it looks like this is going to be a cold one.

Host XO_Arconus says:
CO:  Phasers first and if that doesn't work well we try another way.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands and waves the SO to takes his station:: SO: I believe I may have a viable solution to the problem working on my station.

SO_Praught says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am, it will be.

CIV_Tresme says:

OPS_Lyon says:
CO: You know I hate the cold, don't you? ::spots the CIV and nods at her::

Host XO_Arconus says:
CO:  Aye Ma'am.

Host Dr_Williams says:
CO: The phasers to cut the shaft and using the transport pads seems like the way to go, it will be slow, but we will get there e in one piece

CEO_Banister says:
*Team A*: Good, report back down here when ready. B out.

CIV_Tresme says:
::nods back with a slight smile::

Host XO_Arconus says:

OPS_Lyon says:
< Sparrow > OPS: Aye, sir. ::taps buttons and starts getting everything ready:: And where shall I have the stuff delivered.

Host XO_Arconus says:
CMO:  Send him along by all means.

SO_Praught says:
<Pam>::Looks over her console realizing she'll have to sit this one out, and she's not at all happy about it, but being a SF officer it's part of her duty::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye sir.

CEO_Banister says:

MO_Brabas says:
::He puts on Environmental suit and take earlier programmed tricorder and Hyposprays with him and goes to Bridge::

Host XO_Arconus says:
EO:  Right.  Get an additional pattern enhancer to send down as well as a survival pack and auxiliary power generator.

OPS_Lyon says:
XO: Only if this idea works... otherwise I'm flying down.

Host XO_Arconus says:
OPS:  Agreed.  Preflight a shuttle just in case.

OPS_Lyon says:
::walks over to the CIV:: CIV: Welcome to the bridge. Can I help?

CIV_Tresme says:
::looks to OPS:: I'm er... not sure where the CTO wants me, but I was told to report for TO Duty.

OPS_Lyon says:
FCO: Trent, prep a shuttle just in case we have to fly down, please?

OPS_Lyon says:
::nods:: CIV: Well, it seems the meeting is over, you can report to him now.

CTO_To`Mach1 says:
CIV: Mr Tresme take TAC 2 for now

MO_Brabas says:
::Looks around standing in environmental suit and with helm in his hand::

Host XO_Arconus says:
CTO:  When phasers are ready, fire.

OPS: Hello sir.

FCO_Worthington says:
SO: Thanks Breigh. ::flashes her a smile::

Host XO_Arconus says:
Dr_W:  Any suggestions as to how to gain entry Dr?

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CMO: That's ok Tach...I am sure Trent's relief can handle that.

CTO_To`Mach says:
::adjust the power hitting the firing key again::

OPS_Lyon says:
::smiles:: MO: Hey there Jovan. Ready for some cold work?

Host Dr_Williams says:
XO: I am no drilling expert, but try your highest output, narrowest beam...

CEO_Banister says:
*XO*: On my way... ::enters the TL::

::Returns the smile......hoping everything goes well::

CIV_Tresme says:
::visibly forces her mouth closed and wonders how the heck anyone's gonna get under that weird ice::

OPS_Lyon says:
::stands in the TL, looking at the screen::

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The temperature on the planet is so cold, the vapor turns to ice immediately.

MO_Brabas says:
::Smiles:: OPS: I think about some sink hole but...

CEO_Banister says:
<EO Team A> *CEO*: Sir, something seems to be wrong down here... nothing bad, but plasma intermix conduits are heating up a bit...

OPS_Lyon says:
::grins:: MO: Not while we're on duty, but some for medicinal purposes wouldn't hurt.

CTO_To`Mach says:
::refocus phasers increasing power:: CO: I have the beam as tight as I can get it Ma'am.

CEO_Banister says:
*EO Team A* I'll be off the ship in a minute, I'll send an EO down...

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Try again and see what happens.

MO_Brabas says:
OPS: I think about, uh, the same sir. ::Smiles::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at his padd trying to find any situation of any of the known races where huge sections of any material were removed and disposed of with out any return matter filling the holes::

CIV_Tresme says:
::quietly points out a way to increase the power::

*EO Litshire*: Get down to main engineering ASAP. Something's heating up down there, take care of it please?

OPS_Lyon says:
::laughs:: MO: Great minds think alike.

CTO_To`Mach says:
::taps the firing key again::

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: Thanks Ms. Tresme.

EO_Litshire says:
*CEO*: Heating up sir? ::Snaps to attention from his laid back position:: On my way... any clarification besides... heating?

MO_Brabas says:
OPS: So what we are going to really do there sir?

CEO_Banister says:
::joins the rest of the AT and nods at them::

CIV_Tresme says:
::nods::

CTO_To`Mach says:
::taps out the command increasing power::

OPS_Lyon says:
MO: To find out what ship that is, and why it is there.

Host Dr_Williams says:
::Walks over to the Tac station::

EO_Litshire says:
::Walks into the TL:: TL: ME.

FCO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and prepares the shuttle::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*XO*: Let me know when you are ready to launch.

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A small hole is appearing, about 1 meter wide, but with little depth.

OPS_Lyon says:
MO: Shall we get down to the shuttle? TL: Deck 3.

CEO_Banister says:
*EO Litshire* Team A says the plasma intermix conduits are heating up a bit. But obviously they're too stupid to fix that themselves. I'm sure you can handle it.

MO_Brabas says:
OPS: I know that, but if I here good, it is under the Ice.

Host Dr_Williams says:
CTO: Keep retuning your phasers, the crystals that scatter the transporter beams are probably affecting your phasers.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Ma'am we are getting a small hole in the ice...about a meter wide but we will need to leave the phaser on it for a while to get any depth out of it.

OPS_Lyon says:
MO: Under a couple of hundred meters of ice, actually. ::exits the TL and walks to the shuttle bay::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Catches up with OPS And XO as his data search slows him down. Puts away the padd for now::

EO_Litshire says:
::A bit hesitant:: *CEO*: Right... of course sir... ::Remembers nearly failing Plasma Intermix Conduits 101::

Host XO_Arconus says:
Dr_W:  Looks like it will work.  Let's head to the shuttle bay.  We'll pick up our things on the way.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Acknowledged...keep going.

MO_Brabas says:
::Walks With Lyon::

CTO_To`Mach says:
::refocuses the phaser again narrowing the beam as tight as I can taps firing command again::

OPS_Lyon says:
< Sparrow > *OPS*: All equipment is delivered in the shuttle bay, sir.

Host Dr_Williams says:
XO: Your flying us down I hope ::winks::

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: uh....Sir...ummm what if we focused the beam so that it was circular.... and then used a tractor beam to lift out a cylinder of ice?

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The phaser misaligns and cuts a gash in the surrounding area, but is filled instantly from the frozen vapor.

CEO_Banister says:
*EO Litshire* Good. I'm going off the ship in a moment. Take care of her until we get back, will you?

OPS_Lyon says:
*Sparrow*: Understood. :;taps his badge again:: *XO*: Sir, all the equipment is in the shuttle bay, ready for loading.

Host XO_Arconus says:
Dr_W:  Since it's not our cursed shuttle I may just take the helm.

::blinks at the harsh language of the CTO::

OPS_Lyon says:
::nods:: FCO: Then get us ready for take-off. The rest should be here just now. ::slides into the OPS seat::

Host XO_Arconus says:
::stops the near his quarters::

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The ice around the vessel begins to crack and groan.

Host XO_Arconus says:
Dr_W:  Just a moment Dr.

Host Dr_Williams says:

OPS: Just waiting for the AT.

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: What is happening down there Ms. Praught?

Host XO_Arconus says:
Dr_W:  Yes well we have a cursed one.  Luckily the Admiral borrowed it.

OPS_Lyon says:
CEO: Well, we'll need to get power up once we reach the ship... It is your job, right?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stops by ships stores and gets his cold weather gear::

EO_Litshire says:
::Finds the plasma intermix conduits after crawling through a series of JTs and finds the team that couldn't figure it out::

CMO_Siatty says:
CO: While we try and get through the ice, I'm going to start looking at the reports of the Technology of Cignus II.  Maybe they can tell us something.

SO_Praught says:
CTO: I believe you are causing earthquakes, sir.  Right now it was only 3.4 on the Richter scale, but it will escalate, Sir.

Host XO_Arconus says:
::Arrives at the shuttlebay::

CMO_Siatty says:
Computer: Display latest reports on Civilization of Cignus II, comparing current technology levels to those detected 10 years ago.

EO_Ironwolf says:
::Begins stowing stuff on the shuttle, looks over at the runabout::

Host XO_Arconus says:
All:  Let's get onboard.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Arrives  at Shuttle bay::

EO_Ironwolf says:
XO: Sir, with all due respect, we would have more room and better equipment with the runabout on the surface then a shuttle.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Ma'am we can't use the phasers anymore.

OPS_Lyon says:
::looks over his shoulder from OPS:: XO: Ready and waiting.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the shuttle and takes up the science board::

CIV_Tresme says:

CEO_Banister says:
::enters the shuttle and sits down somewhere::

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Is the ice breaking up in chunks small enough for us to tractor?

FCO_Worthington says:
XO: Shuttle prepared for departure.

EO_Litshire says:
Team A: So... Banister said you couldn't do this... what have you figured out so far?

OPS_Lyon says:
::taps a few buttons:: XO: Shall I get clearance?

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*XO/DrW*: Be advised...the phasers have caused some seismic disturbances on the planet.

SO_Praught says:
CTO: It's breaking in one clean motion.  Like a fault line, Sir.

CEO_Banister says:
<Team A> EO Litshire: Err, well, umm... it just heats up. ::points at the conduits::

MO_Brabas says:
::Enters the shuttle and begins to walk from AT member to the next giving them some Usnea barbata  with hypospray::

SO_Praught says:
CTO: It's causing a lateral fault line, Sir.

Host XO_Arconus says:

Host XO_Arconus says:
MO:  None for me thanks.

EO_Litshire says:
::Oi! I nearly failed it, but these guys must have collectively slept through the whole class:: Team A: Ok... now think a bit, why do you think they could be hot? Identify the source, then maybe we can fix this thing.

SFI_Berlin says:
::Realizing she's not needed heads to the TL on the bridge::

CMO_Siatty says:

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::sits there rubbing my head trying to figure out another way to get the ice out::

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Ms. Praught see if there is a way to break the ice up?

MO_Brabas says:
XO: And what Sir?

Host Dr_Williams says:
MO: What’s in the hypo?

Host XO_Arconus says:
::Sits at the helm and finalizes the preflight and lays in a course::

Host XO_Arconus says:
MO:  Cause this place is almost like home.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: That might work lets see what Ens. Praught can find out first....Thanks for the idea.

MO_Brabas says:
Dr_W: Some of Usnea barbata, it will help the blood circulation::

CEO_Banister says:
<Team A> EO Litshire: We've tried everything what the manual says, sir. It won't work...

SO_Praught says:
CMO/CTO: No, Sir......It's not in little pieces, it's rubbing together like this. ::Uses her hands and slides one forward:: If we try to break up the ice, it will cause another more dangerous earthquake.

OPS_Lyon says:
*CO*: Requesting permission to depart?

SO_Praught says:
CO: Also I suggest that the shuttle land at least 1 KM away from the fault so as not to cause problems.

CIV_Tresme says:
::winces at the news about the ice::

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Acknowledged Briegh see if you can come up with something else.

CMO_Siatty says:
SO: OK, was wondering if we could cause it to split and give us an entrance.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*OPS*: Permission granted. On recommendation of the SO land at least 1 KM from the fault line.

EO_Litshire says:
::Shakes his head:: Team A: Rule number one, the manual is wrong ::Takes the manual and hurls it away:: It would also help if you answered my question with some good thought ::Crosses his arms and waits::

SFI_Berlin says:
TL: Deck 8.

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The SO notices another ice quake... same intensity.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: Ms. Tresme lets come up with away to get the ship clear of the ice.

MO_Brabas says:
::Give to Injections with Hypo to the rest on the shuttle::

SO_Praught says:
CO: I'm detecting another earth quake.  3.4 on the Richter scale.

CEO_Banister says:
<Team A> EO Litshire: Huh? Err, aye sir. Then... what's right?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Prepares for shuttle launch:: Self: I prefer this to the Transporter.

EO_Ironwolf says:
CEO: I stowed two sets of transport pads, are you familiar with battlefield transporters, or would you like me to accompany you down?

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: How about ice pick phasers ::smiles wryly::

CMO_Siatty says:
Computer: Display all Warp traffic within .5 Light years of this point since the Technology advances began.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*OPS*: Stop the launch...we have another icequake.

CEO_Banister says:
EO: I am familiar, of course... Your presence is not required, but you could always ask the XO... ::winks::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*XO/DrW*: I suggest standing down the AT until these quakes stop. I will not subject my crew to that kind of danger.

EO_Litshire says:
Team A: Come on, guys. Think. Use your brains for once in your life.

CEO_Banister says:
<Team A> EO Litshire: Ahh, hey! We knew that! What's next? ::smiling::

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: I meant the hand held kind. Like they used to excavate the North Pole "Alien Crash Site".

EO_Ironwolf says:

::Makes sure to let his report include a recommendation to dismiss the entirety of Team A::

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: You just might have the right idea.

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: Or perhaps shuttle based cannons?

CIV_Tresme says:
::Scratches her head::

OPS_Lyon says:
::waits quietly in his seat::

EO_Litshire says:
Team A: Never mind, guys. You're dismissed.

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: It looks like they are dissipating.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: Run simulations on both Ms. Tresme.

CEO_Banister says:
::smiles at Ironwolf:: EO: Take eng station on the bridge and liaison with me from there. I want full two way communication on this one.

Host XO_Arconus says:
*CO*:  Aye Ma'am  we'll hold here.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Awaits for the order to proceed::

CIV_Tresme says:
::nods and sets about running the simulations::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
SO: I want absolutes not looks like...I will not have any of my crew injured or killed over this.

OPS_Lyon says:
::taps a few buttons:: All: And thus we wait.

CEO_Banister says:
<Team A> EO Litshire: Oh, ok. ::team members run off into all dark corners in ME and leave Litshire alone::

Host Dr_Williams says:
EO Ironwolf : Yes sir, and sir those transporters are Marine property, and we'd like them back after your done with them.

CIV_Tresme says:
::busily programming all the specs she can get from SO's scans into the simulations::

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The seems to have settled down, no more rumblings are heard.

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: From all calculations, the quakes have stopped. I can't give you anything better.  I'm sorry. ::almost looks crushed::

CMO_Siatty says:
SO: Can we figure out the tremor frequency?  Maybe create some kind of counter waves?

CEO_Banister says:
EO: I understand, we'll try not to scratch them. ::smiles::

EO_Ironwolf says:
::Heads back to engineering::

EO_Litshire says:
Self: How did they EVER get into Starfleet? They're the first people I've met with IQs in the negatives. ::Continues muttering as he gets out an engineering tricorder and scans the PICs::

CTO_To`Mach says:
*EO Litshire*: Mr. Litshire to the bridge on the double.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
SO: Sorry Breigh...after the last mission I am just more careful. I don't want to be responsible for sending any of my crew down there when I know there are problems.

SO_Praught_ says:
CMO: They were caused by the CTO's fire.  He's stopped firing, the quakes by all reasons are dissipating and stopping, Sir.

Host XO_Arconus says:
::wonders what the CEO and EO are talking about.  Everything onboard belongs to him::

EO_Litshire says:
::Curses:: *CTO*: Aye sir... on my way... trouble?

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: I understand. I'm giving you by best hypothesis.  Science is rarely an exacting venture.

OPS_Lyon says:
::leans back in his chair and waits::

CTO_To`Mach says:
*EO Litshire*: You will see when you get up here....To'Mach out.

Host Dr_Williams says:
::Sitting in his seat waiting patiently::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
SO: I know Breigh. ::sits back watching the planet::

EO_Litshire says:
*Team Z*: Guys, the way I figure it, if Team A is terminally confused, you guys aren't... I have to run... fix the plasma intermix chambers for me whenever you get the chance if it isn't too much trouble.

CEO_Banister says:
::sits back and whistles a tune::

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: But I will keep you posted the moment I see anything.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
*XO*: You are go for launch but be prepared to be pulled back.

EO_Ironwolf says:
::Arrives at ME and opens a two way computer link to the shuttle::

FCO_Worthington says:
::waiting patiently for the departure::

EO_Litshire says:
::Crawls through the JTs again, heading in the general direction of up::

CMO_Siatty says:
CO: Ma'am, Ensign Praught has never led us wrong before.  Seismic activity rarely happens unannounced, we should have ample warning of future quakes.

OPS_Lyon says:
::taps buttons again:: XO: OPS green across the board.

MO_Brabas says:
OPS: sometimes I like an AT Missions:: Leans back in his sit::

Host XO_Arconus says:
*CO*:  Aye aye.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Prepares again hearing the go signal::

Host XO_Arconus says:
All:  Here we go.  Launch now.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::looks at the CMO and nods...turns my attention back to the view screen::

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: If we had more power on the shuttle...or time to add more power...

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Enters the Holodeck:: Computer: Program Berlin Beta 38.

CEO_Banister says:
<Team Z> EO Litshire: Logic dictates we will eventually solve the problem, sir. ::sees him enter a tube::

Host XO_Arconus says:
::clears the ship and turns towards the planet::

Host Dr_Williams says:
ALL: Saddle up, lets go find out whats been waiting for us for 500 years.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CIV: Unfortunately that we don't have.

EO_Litshire says:
::Shudders:: Self: This is just creepy... I can't believe there IS a Team Z... ::Continues crawling up::

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION: The AT lands on the ice world, 1 km from the site.

OPS_Lyon says:
@::zips up his suit:: XO: Ready, sir.

EO_Ironwolf says:
*CEO* Testing com link, if you can get one of those transporter padds within a mile of the ship you should be able to transport a second one onto the ship with minimal damage.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  Ok let's take a little yomp.  Visors on.  Check equipment.

Host Dr_Williams says:
@::Locks the helmet onto his EV suit::

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Sees the landscape change and takes her shoes off, going for a walk::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CMO: XO: Irandor I want continuous reports...I don't want to loose track of anyone again.

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Mentally prepares, puts the rebreather in place and bundles up in his protective gear::

FCO_Worthington says:
@::prepares to leave the craft::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::puts the visor down, checks his equipment, and checks Jovan's as well.

EO_Litshire says:
::On the bridge now, decides to ask the CTO now why he's up here:: CTO: Pardon me, sir. But why did you call me up?

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO: To'Mach keep a constant lock on the AT.

MO_Brabas says:
@::Looks at OPS:: OPS: Let me sir.

CEO_Banister says:
@*EO* Com link operating fine. I'll see what I can do with those padds...

SO_Praught_ says:
::Continues monitoring the situation.....no seismic activity noted::

CMO_Siatty says:
*Med Tech*: Diogie, can you get the Environmental isolation chambers set up to maintain an environment of 298 degrees Kelvin.  I want them ready if the AT has any serious problems with the environment.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@COM:  CO:  Aye Ma'am.  We have a transponder with us.  Turning it on now.

CTO_To`Mach says:
EO_Litshire: I want you to work with Ms. Tresme on getting through the ice.

CSO_Nash says:
@:: pulls protective shield down to prevent the glare from getting to him::

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::checks the lock on the AT::

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  Ok.  Depressurizing and opening door.

OPS_Lyon says:
@::nods and waits for Jovan to check his stuff:: All: Shall we? It’s a brisk -20 Celsius out there.

CIV_Tresme says:
EO: I was running these um.........

FCO_Worthington says:
@OPS: Sounds good to me.

EO_Ironwolf says:
*CEO* I have seen them survive a 20 mile fall and still operate, but dropping them down the shaft may be pushing it.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
ALL: Now we wait to see what they find.

MO_Brabas says:
@::Puts helm on his head and begins to check his stuff::

Host XO_Arconus says:
::feeling a little homesick but quite snug in his furs steps out onto the surface::

CIV_Tresme says:
::shows the EO What she's done so far::

CMO_Siatty says:
<Diogie>: CMO: Of course, already set.  What?  Think we forgot our jobs since you left?  ::Laughs.::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::steps out after Irandor.::

FCO_Worthington says:
@::follows the XO out the shuttlecraft::

CIV_Tresme says:
EO: Can't we use the tractor beam to set them down safely?

EO_Litshire says:
CTO/CIV: Uh sure... ::Looks at the stuff:: But why me? I'm not expert, after all...

MO_Brabas says:
@OPS: After you sir.

Host Dr_Williams says:
@::Follows the others onto the surface::

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Feels the grass beneath her feet......mentally keeps a tap on Irandor to make sure he's safe.::

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Steps out and gets his tricorder out and begins taking readings::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::checks his tricorder:: XO: That way. ::points towards the site::

Host XO_Arconus says:
::consults the tricorder direction indicator and heads out pulling a small sled loaded with supplies::

EO_Litshire says:
::Shakes his head and wishes he didn't feel like his brains were scrambled:: CIV: Sorry? Tractor beam?

CTO_To`Mach says:
EO Litshire: Because you are an engineer did they not teach you any of this at the Academy?

CIV_Tresme says:
EO: To lower the pads safely yes. u said a fall that far down a shaft could hurt them.

OPS_Lyon says:
@::follows after Irandor, not talking::

Host Dr_Williams says:
@XO: What’s your theory Commander. I mean what do you think we will find down there?

EO_Litshire says:
CTO: Engineer I am, but isn't there someone else who would know better than I?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sets his tricorder to give a verbal warning of any tectonic or any other activity::

CEO_Banister says:
@*EO* We are less than a kilometer from the site. I will set it up right next to the shuttle. When you receive telemetry from it, you may proceed in checking the success probabilities.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  Stay together don't get separated.  Go slow.  Don't overheat.

MO_Brabas says:
@:: Begins to scan the atmosphere on the surface with his tricorder as he walks with others::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
SO: How are things looking on the planet?

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: Everything's green across the board, Ma'am.

CIV_Tresme says:
::sighs wondering if everyone is incompetent on this ship...maybe I’ll fit right in::

FCO_Worthington says:
@::follows closely with the rest of the group::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::mutters under his breath about hating the cold::

EO_Litshire says:
CIV: Shaft? ::Shakes his head:: Start from the beginning... I was on the bridge earlier, but I was only paying attention to power issues.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
SO: Well that is good I hope...let's hope it stays that way.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@Dr_W:  I have no theory Dr.  I'm trying to keep an open mind.  Time travel confuses me at the best of times.

CTO_To`Mach says:
EO Litshire: The CEO is on the planet along with the CSO....The SO is busy watching for signs of earthquake....So guess what your it.

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: I sure do. I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

CEO_Banister says:
@::sets up the TR padd and then follows the rest of the team::

Host XO_Arconus says:
@COM:  CO:  We're heading towards the tunnel.

EO_Litshire says:
::Shrug:: CTO: Very well, sir. I'm not very good with matter, but I'm sure I can help with this ice.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
COM: XO: Tunnel?

Host Dr_Williams says:
@::Arrives at the hole created by the ships phasers::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::takes mental note over where everybody is, and makes sure no-one wanders off::

MO_Brabas says:
@::thinking about the best way to find the shelter if something goes wrong::

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Sees the hole and begins scanning::

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Takes a walk to the cliff standing less than one step from the precipice::

CTO_To`Mach says:
::walks over to the SO shaking my head:: SO: Briegh how are things looking. ::mutters something about smart mouth engineers::

CEO_Banister says:
@::arrives a minute later, sweating::

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  Options?

SO_Praught_ says:
CTO: Everything is quiet for the moment, Sir.

FCO_Worthington says:
@::sees the shaft and waits patiently::

OPS_Lyon says:
@::turns and looks around:: Self: Build snowmen?

CIV_Tresme says:
EO: Never mind what do you think of these simulations?

CEO_Banister says:
@XO: Don't look at me, I just fix stuff...

CIV_Tresme says:
::shows the EO her simulations about modifying the shuttlecraft's phaser cannons to get thru the ice::

MO_Brabas says:
@AT: I sir.

CSO_Nash says:
@ :: Begins scanning the mineral composition of the ice now that it has been exposed by the ship's phasers::

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Do you think we could us laser drills to get through the ice?

OPS_Lyon says:
@XO: Short of digging our way down, I'm not quite sure...

Host XO_Arconus says:
@CEO:  You can also build stuff.  Let's build a self-tunneling robot.  A self powered drill.

EO_Litshire says:
::Looks at them:: CIV: Very interesting... have you run any simulations?

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::stands up walking around:: SO/CTO: What options are open down there for getting through the ice?

SO_Praught_ says:
CTO: Actually that sounds like a plausible idea, Sir.

MO_Brabas says:
@::Thinking that this is terrible place to live on it and looks at the snow dunes::

CEO_Banister says:
@XO: Not enough equipment down here or even on the ship. And replicating that would take weeks...

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Takes a look over the side at the valley....Green, lush, trees and rocks beneath her::

Host Dr_Williams says:
@XO: We just need a shaft big enough to get one of these transport padds down, we need to get proximity to the ship.

CIV_Tresme says:
::blinks at the EO:: yes that's what I'm showing you here.

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Run a quick simulation lets see if it will work there.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@CEO:  Just a miniature one.  All we need is a small shaft for sensor readings to start.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Ma'am we are going to run a simulation on using a laser drill to get through the ice ma'am.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  The other option is explosives.  Blast a way down.

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: Sir I already ran that simulation.

CIV_Tresme says:
::shows her simulation to the CTO::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Are you talking about the laser drill engineering uses to get through the walls?

SO_Praught_ says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  Running sim now. ::Initiates the Sim:: Sir.....it appears to be working, Sir. ::Brightly::

OPS_Lyon says:
@XO: Explosives will set off a series of quakes again.

EO_Litshire says:
::Scrolls down:: CIV: Oh! Did it take into account a possible overload from the shuttle because of the modified phasers? I'm no gun freak, but I can tell you that phasers can get messy when toyed with.

CTO_To`Mach says:
::looks over the CIVs results::

CEO_Banister says:
@Self: Now he tells me... XO: I can't just design one and then manufacture it from air and snow, all in a few minutes, you know...

OPS_Lyon says:
@::kicks at a clump of ice::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO/SO: Don't forget the fault lines caused from our last attempt.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@CEO:  Why not?  We're not leaving till we get in there.

Host Dr_Williams says:
@XO: How about drilling with the shuttles phasers, closer proximity, just might work.

CIV_Tresme says:
CTO: It looks like it won't work .

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  I'm thinking a shaped charge.  It's localized enough to punch through the ice but not set off the fault lines.

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: If this works we are going to drill as far away as possible.

CEO_Banister says:
@XO: What I can do, is construct something that would melt it's way down. I could combine a tricorder and a phaser, and then a cable on that...

CTO_To`Mach says:
ALL: Scratch that one. ::stomps back to station::

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: Laser drills should work, Ma'am.

OPS_Lyon says:
@XO: I don't know much about explosives... I'll have to take your word.

CTO_To`Mach says:
SO: Can you come up with any thing else?

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Sits down on the edge of the of the hill with her bare feet dangling::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::goes over to look at the data:: SO: Are you sure?

SO_Praught_ says:
CTO: Nothing is apparent at this moment, Sir.

SO_Praught_ says:
CO: The simulations all worked, Ma'am.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  the shaped charge has the advantage of moving the ice vapor out of the hole unlike a phaser.

CIV_Tresme says:
::scratches her head figuring she did something wrong in her simulation and looks over the SO's work::

CEO_Banister says:
@XO: Err, where does that ice go when we're at, say 100 meters?

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
COM: XO: We may have a solution for you.

OPS_Lyon says:
@CEO: I say we set it to go off after we get back to the shuttle and take off.

SFI_Berlin_ says:
::Leans forward looking down to the bottom::

SFI_Berlin_ says:
Computer: Confirm Safety protocols.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@COM: CO:  Go ahead.

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Prepares to head to the ship as he hears orders for charges to be set::

CEO_Banister says:
<Team Z> *EO Litshire*: Sir! That heat won't go away!

SFI_Berlin_ says:
<Computer>: Safety protocols are off-line.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
COM: XO: The simulations with a laser drill seem to be working with no backlash.

MO_Brabas says:
@:: begins to take the scans are we manage to change some type of evolution::

CIV_Tresme says:
::tries to look busy and hopes she isn't gonna lose her job::

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Relaxes as he hears the CO's revelation::

EO_Litshire says:
*Team Z*: What?!

OPS_Lyon says:
@XO: Blast or melt?

MO_Brabas says:
@::thinking : it was 400 years past::

EO_Litshire says:
::Jumps into a JT and climbs down fast::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::looks over at the CIV and smiles::

Host XO_Arconus says:
@COM: CO:  Send one down and we'll give it a try.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Take care of it To'Mach.

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  An Alarm sounds on the bridge, holodeck safety protocols have been disengaged.

CEO_Banister says:
@OPS: Whatever... ::muttering about having to walk that far from the shuttle, and...::

CTO_To`Mach says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@All:  Let's set up a temporary shelter over there.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::jumps hearing the alarm and heads for the OPS station::

OPS_Lyon says:
<Sparrow> CO: Ma'am... Holodeck safeties have been taken offline. Re-instating them now.

CMO_Siatty says:
CO: Ma'am, I'm on that.  Computer: Freeze Holodeck program, on my authority.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
Sparrow: Who is down there.

MO_Brabas says:
@OPS: Sir cold we change eco system of this planet?

CEO_Banister says:
<Team Z> *EO Litshire*: Those conduits... but wait! Maybe it's the thermometer that's malfunctioning!

CSO_Nash says:
@:: Sees where the XO is pointing and heads that way to help with preparations::

CMO_Siatty says:
CO: I'm heading down there.  Keep those things off.

FCO_Worthington says:
@XO: Aye sir. ::moves to the shelter location::

OPS_Lyon says:
@MO: What ecosystem? ::smiles::

CIV_Tresme says:
::starts a new simulation on the ice drill::

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
CMO: Who ever it is I want them in my office ASAP!

OPS_Lyon says:
<Sparrow> CO: Its Commander Berlin.

CEO_Banister says:
@XO: Will do. ::looks around and scratches his head:: Self: Hmm... shelter?

CMO_Siatty says:
CO: Aye ma'am.  ::Enters Turbolift and heads to Deck 8.::

Host Dr_Williams says:
@MO: Sure and when the inhabitants of II look through there telescope and see a garden of Eden appear on an ice planet then what ::grins::

Host XO_Arconus says:
@MO:  No need to worry about that I think.

Host CO_T`Kerl says:
::mutters a few curses under my breath:: Self: What is she trying to pull now?

MO_Brabas says:
@OPS: But sir as fare as we know the earth past from the some phase of evolution.

EO_Litshire says:
::Continues climbing faster:: *Team Z*: Yes! Please check the thermometer! ::What was all this about logic? Is every engineer on this ship an idiot?::

MO_Brabas says:
@::Goes and helps with preparation of shelter::

CEO_Banister says:
<Team Z> *EO Litshire* A.. aye.. team Z out.

Host AGM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The laser drill is flown down to the planet.  It works and now a hole is big enough to place the transporter into for entry into the ship.

Host XO_Arconus says:
@MO: That's what we're trying to discover.
