Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: Kevin, scan the system. I want to know everything there is to know.
CTO_Worthington says:
TO: Excellent. Coordinate with Engineering on tactical system power output. See if we can get every inch of extra power allocated to shields if needed.
CMO_Brabas says:
*XO*: SB is ready, sir. We have prepared two extra teams for any possibility. I will ask for permission if something happens to use one of the cargo bays for medical purpose.
CNS_Selar says:
::continues looking for information, not finding much on ring worlds:: Self: This is very helpful. ::says sarcastically::
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: Aye sirrr.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: And when we're in range, scan the Ringworld. I want to know atmosphere, machinery, population... the works.
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye Captain. Right away sir. I am also very anxious to get this under way sir.
FCO_Barak says:
XO: Our ETA is 10 minutes, sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
*CMO*: Have teams ready, but hold off.  We may need the bays to collect materials.
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Tactical probes are ready for launch. Standing by for the launch command.
Host XO_Siatty says:

Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Drop to half impulse just outside the system.
CEO_Terumo says:
*EO*: What's your current status, EO?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He gets up from his chair and walks from it toward his crew::
CNS_Selar says:
Self: This is going no where. ::looks at her information on ring worlds and only found one thing about them::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Understood. CO: My god, this thing is the size of our moon. It is orbiting an O class planet, much as the moon orbits Earth.
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO* Doing fine Boss, you need me up there?
CTO_Worthington says:
CSO: I want to know everything you can tell me about ring worlds.
FCO_Barak says:
CO: Aye Sir, dropping to half impulse :: taps the console ::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::gets up and walks over to SCI I:: CSO: Say what?
CEO_Terumo says:
::brings the towing pod's fusion reactor online:: *EO*: Not yet, Mai, but keep a close eye on our power distribution, please.
TO_Mikan says:
::begins to monitor the tactical probes::
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir. Have a look.
CMO_Brabas says:
To Medical personal: Be prepared for everything and I want all teams at their places. If someone need me I will be at Bridge.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Shall I go to yellow alert, sir?
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: *CEO* I'm on it, Boss.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Yellow Alert, let's be ready.
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  No ships or vessels are in the area of the ring world.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Understood. ::sets condition yellow alert::
EO_Valentine says:
::slides over to another console and checks to make sure power is distributed effectively::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: Yes, what Tach said... ::smiles and looks at the science console.:: CSO: Ok, so its huge. What about atmosphere, fauna and flora, population, level of technology?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks from SB and as he approaches TL he heard yellow alert notification and returned to the SB::
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: Sirrr, prrrobes rrreporrrting all quiet. No ships within the vicinity of the rrring.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Closes eyes, trying to telepathically feel the inhabitants.::
OPS_Jones says:
::informs her assistant to inform the department to be ready for anything and to have teams ready for possible away teams::
CSO_Nash says:
CTO: I'll fill you in with more when my scan proceed. But for now, I can tell you that they are on the same principal as a Dyson Sphere, but on a much less dramatic size.
TO_Mikan says:
::begins to assign security teams to repel boarders should they be needed.::
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Initial scans coming back now. Atmosphere is consistent with M class.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Opens eyes...confused.::  CO: Sir, something isn't right.  I can't sense anyone on that thing.  It's possible they just can't be read but...
CNS_Selar says:
::senses tension between everyone on the ship, continues looking at her console::
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee is approaching the ring world.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He returns to his office and activates the wave screen:: Computer: Please scan for life signs.
CTO_Worthington says:
CSO: Will we be in danger from their gravitational pull?
FCO_Barak says:
CO: Approaching ring world sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::frowns:: XO: Are you sure?
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Natural radiation is interfering with deflector efficiency. We are compensating.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CNS: Can you sense anyone?  Might be that I just can't focus on them.
CTO_Worthington says:
TO: Scan the parametric subspace field stress. I want to know if their is any chance of a cloaked ship in the area.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: With my telepathy, I can't be sure of anything, but it seems dead.
Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Put us just inside our effective phaser range for now - I want to find out more. Make it 250 000 kms.
CNS_Selar says:
XO: One moment, sir. ::closes her eyes and tries to see what she senses from the ring world::
EO_Valentine says:
::monitors power output and closes one eye, glancing back to her Ringworld Info::
TO_Mikan says:
::informs security team alpha of possible AT efforts:: CTO: Aye sirrr. ::begins to scan subspace for possible cloaked vessels::
FCO_Barak says:
:: corrects course to 250 000kms :: CO: Aye Sir.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check radiation levels and begins to calculate time for possible exposure to it::
CNS_Selar says:
::opens her eyes and looks over at the CO and XO:: CO/XO: I detect no life signs on the Ring World, sirs.
CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Too soon to tell. CO/XO: I am detecting indigenous animal life. It seems to be local to the ring world.
FCO_Barak says:
CO: We are now at 250 000 kms.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: Is the radiation a danger to us?  Either now or if we get closer?
Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Maintain position.
OPS_Jones says:
::her assistant informs her that everything is ready::  CO/XO:  I have my staff ready for anything, including possible away teams.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: Population?
TO_Mikan says:
::using ship's tactical sensors and the sensors on the tactical probes, scans for cloaked ships::
Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: Thanks, Kyleigh. Anything on the comms?
CTO_Worthington says:
*SEC*: All security teams at standby.
CNS_Selar says:
::listens at the CSO with his report::
OPS_Jones says:
CO:  Double checking. Sir.
CSO_Nash says:
CO/XO: And Scans indicate that it has gravity. The rings are to thank for that.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: Indigenous?  But this thing is artificial.  Perhaps they've just lived here for eons.
FCO_Barak says:
CO: Aye Sir, Holding position at 250 000 km. :: checks position, looking at conn ::
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: No ion trrrails. Therrre arrre currrrrrently no cloaked ships.
CNS_Selar says:
CSO: What type of animal life? Single celled organisms like bacteria? Or more advanced forms?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to use scanned information on vegetation on the Ringworld as well as the life forms of it::
CTO_Worthington says:
TO: Keep continuing active scans. I don't want to be surprised today.
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: Yes sirrr.
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Negative sir. I can only find them on the ring world. But they do not show any signs of sentience.
OPS_Jones says:
::hearing nothing::  CO:  There is nothing, not even background activity of any kind, everything is quiet.  If you ask me, it's strangely quiet.
Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: You said it. Keep monitoring it.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: Do they appear domesticated types, or wild?
CSO_Nash says:
CNS: They appear to be more advanced that microbes or bacteria.
OPS_Jones says:
CO:  Will do.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Sir, this may seem obvious, but I recommend extreme caution on our approach. There are to many variables that are yet unknown.
CNS_Selar says:
Self: Strange. ::keeps listening to the report::
CSO_Nash says:
CO/XO: I have numerous scattered city type dwellings, but all appear deserted.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: You must've read my mind. When SFC sends you investigate something like this... you go in with eyes at the back of your head.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: I agree with Trent, whoever built this had great industrial capability at least.  We don't know who they are, or where they are.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Checks ship position, making the necessary adjustments to hold the ship's position. ::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: I can't tell what we're dealing with right now, all sensors show are animal life-forms.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: Any signs of a reason why?  Burned buildings, radiation, chemical or bio weapon traces?
EO_Valentine says:
::uploads the latest information from the sensors and looks it over:: Self: Wow..
TO_Mikan says:
::gets an idea and modifies the tactical scanners to detect Ionic conversion inhibitors that may be hiding ion trails and continues to scan::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::waits for Kevin's reply::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Everything appears intact. No signs of any apocalyptic disasters.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: And the rest of the structure?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He gets up and leaves SB:: MO:SB is yours, I am on the bridge!
CMO_Brabas says:
<MO>: Aye sir
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: I don't like that, not at all.  There must be a reason.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks to TL and goes to the bridge::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: Any threat to us from the radiation?  Either now or if we get closer?
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: I'm sure we will find out more soon.
CSO_Nash says:
XO: The largest cities will be located at the apex of the circle, the top of the ring as it is, facing in toward the bottom of the world.
TO_Mikan says:
::scans for weapon and shielding capabilities of the Ringworld::
CTO_Worthington says:
::listens to the CSO's reports, continuing to monitor the active scans::
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: As far as we can tell, it's levels are within safety limits.
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Nothing that scans can detect sir.
OPS_Jones says:
::still monitoring communications, putting focus on the entire surface::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: That would likely be a capital, and where we'll begin our search, when it comes to that.
FCO_Barak says:
:: adjusts ship position, compensating the ring world gravitational pull. ::
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: Sirrr, I am not detecting any shielding or weapons capabilities on the rrringworrrld.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks on the bridge and goes toward one of the free stations:: Computer: Reroute Medical commands on this station, authorization Jovan Alpha 342.
Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Barak, put the Ringworld on screen. We've been so busy scanning it, I don't even know what it looks like.
CNS_Selar says:
::listens to all of the reports trying to take in as much of the information that she can::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO* You need anything else down here Boss?
CMO_Brabas says:
<Computer>:Afirmative
CTO_Worthington says:
TO: Keep scanning. They may have weapons hidden below the surface.
OPS_Jones says:
::smiles inwardly as she wonders when the CO was going to say that::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: I want to have a look down there, once we get what we can up here.  Might be a clue as to what happened.
TO_Mikan says:
CTO: Aye
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Scans also showing generators  that appear to be for atmospheric cleansing and replenishment.
FCO_Barak says:
CO: Aye sir, on screen :: taps the conn, putting the ring world image on screen. ::
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Agreed. That would be part of the plan, but I want to know as much as possible before we do that.
CMO_Brabas says:
::he sits in the chair and begins to examine all useful medical information from the computer::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the view screen and stares at the Ring World:: Self: Wow.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the XO say something about a search and grins.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at the Ringworld as it appears on screen:: All: Its impressive.
CEO_Terumo says:
*EO*: We're all waiting to see what comes from this. Until something comes up, proceed as usual. Just be ready...
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: What about the planet, the O class one.  Any signs of life on there?  Living or gone?
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Maybe we should launch some sensor probes to investigate the surface?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check for biological hazards::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO* Understood Boss.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Strange that some race would just abandon something so great.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Adjusts scans to the planet.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: Abandon, or driven out, who knows?
TO_Mikan says:
::looks up at the Ringworld on the main viewscreen::
EO_Valentine says:
::makes sure the Positronic particle grid is working at 100% efficiency::
CEO_Terumo says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: Self: Wow! *EO*: you might want to take a look at what we've got ahead. It's not everyday you get to see something like this.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Gets the data and gets a worried look on his face.:: XO: No life-form readings on the planet. No nothing, sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Driven out?  Who could drive out people who could build that type of thing?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks to the middle of the bridge:: All: I think this is all information we'll get from up here. ::turns a full circle to look at the assembled crew::
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO* Okay, On my way Boss ::hops out of her chair and trots out the door::
FCO_Barak says:
:: look up to the screen, contemplating the ring world. ::
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Who knows... that's our job to find out.
CNS_Selar says:
CO/XO: And if they were driven out where are the people who drove them out? So many questions.
EO_Valentine says:
::hops into the TL:: TL: Bridge
Host XO_Siatty says:
CSO: Understood.  I'm wondering if maybe they built this after they stripped or ruined their own world.  Could explain the lack of land masses.  They could have used it to build this.
CMO_Brabas says:
:: He begins to check for atmosphere on both the ring world and planet::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods at Jennifer:: All: Ok, this is what we're going to do...
EO_Valentine says:
::exits the TL onto the Bridge:: Self: Wow! ::looks around for the CEO::
CTO_Worthington says:
::listens to the CO::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: That would seem to be the most likely probability.
OPS_Jones says:
::listens intently at the Captain::
CNS_Selar says:
::listens to the CO::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Listens to the Captain.::
CMO_Brabas says:
::Listens to captain::
Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: Kyleigh, you have the bridge. Maintain continuous transporter lock on the Away Team.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Glad to be out of the spotlight for now.::
FCO_Barak says:
:: listens to the Captain, checking the conn ::
OPS_Jones says:
::nods::  CO:  Aye, Sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
OPS: Also, keep an open comm channel at all times.
OPS_Jones says:
CO:  I always do, Captain.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at the rest of the senior staff:: All: The rest of you... you're coming with me.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Raises eyebrows.::  CO: Sir?  I hope this doesn't mean what I think it does.
EO_Valentine says:
::nods and stands on her tip-toes to see all the console:: Self: Cool
CMO_Brabas says:
::Looks at XO and CO::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Grins and winks at Kyleigh as he hears her comment.::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: With all due respect, you should not beam down yet.  Not until we determine it's safe.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods at Tach:: XO: And don't you even start to argue with me on this. ::turns to Trent:: CTO: Nor you.
OPS_Jones says:
::smiles at Kevin::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I am in complete agreement with Commander Siatty.
TO_Mikan says:
OPS: I am sending you the perrrsonnel list forrr Securrrity Team Alpha forrr AT supporrrt. ::sends list to her console::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO/XO: Duly noted. And I'm ignoring it.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Captain, there may be hostile items on the Ring World that could cause serious injury. It would be wise to make sure it is safe. But of course it is your decision, sir.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Smiles and gets the felling of going on a scientific adventure to rival those in history.::
OPS_Jones says:
TO:  Understood, Ensign.  ::as she looks at the list::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Captain, at least reduce the size of the away  team until we can determine it's safe.
TO_Mikan says:
::moves to tactical station 1::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: I accept under severe protest, sir.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Gets up and walks toward theTL:: CO: I am just going for my stuff in SB, sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: Not you too? ::tragic look on his face for a moment:: All: You are not going to stop me from going, and that is final. Assemble in Transporter Room 1 in 5 minutes. Dismissed.
FCO_Barak says:
OPS: Please check for the Ringworld's gravitational pull. 
CMO_Brabas says:
::He goes on TL:: Computer: Deck 8
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Understood, I will also add my formal protest.
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: Ronik. Select 12 of your best men. They are coming along.
OPS_Jones says:
::nods::
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: Sir, I know you want to find out what is on the Ring World but wouldn't it be wise to make sure that it is safe. It is my job to advise a decision and I just would like you to know that this is not the best decision, sir. There could be many dangers.
FCO_Barak says:
:: gets up and walks to the TL :: 
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: Add it to the growing list.
CMO_Brabas says:
::After a few seconds, he arrives at SB::
CEO_Terumo says:
::begins locking down the Engineering Station and rerouting control to ME:: Self: I hope I don't end up orbiting the planet... on my own.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Moves to back of Bridge.::  CTO: Put Ensign Mikan on him, full time.
TO_Mikan says:
CO: Aye sirrr. I have forrrwarrrded the list to the OPS::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: And I appreciate your concern Jennifer, but I'm still going.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Nods his agreement with the Captain's logic. Knowing that there is still somewhat of a scientist in the Captain.::
OPS_Jones says:
FCO:  The gravitational pull is slightly less than Earth's.
CMO_Brabas says:
MO: You are in charge now until I return from the away mission.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: You got it. TO: Do not let the Captain out of your sight for a second! Understood?
CEO_Terumo says:
::walks up the ramp and joins the other officers in the TL::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks to the TL:: All: Next stop TR1.
EO_Valentine says:
CEO: You need me to get you anything sir?
FCO_Barak says:
OPS: Yes but it fluctuates now and then.
CTO_Worthington says:
::enters the tl::
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::walks into the TL with the CO::
CEO_Terumo says:
EO: Just yourself, Mai.
TO_Mikan says:
::snaps to attention:: CTO: Affirrrmative.
OPS_Jones says:
FCO:  Noted.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows the Captain, XO, CTO, and TO.::
TO_Mikan says:
::moves close to the CO::
EO_Valentine says:
CEO: I'm coming too?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes one Medical case and checks to see if everything is in order. He takes one phaser and one medical tricorder and walks to the TL::
Host CO_Lyon says:

CMO_Brabas says:
::He enters TR1::
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Captain, would you mind if I brought another one of my staff members along to the Ring World?
CEO_Terumo says:
*EO Selena*: You are in charge of Main Engineering. Do try to keep it in one place for us, Lieutenant! ::grins::
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: Ronik, I know you have your orders, but please can you stand back a bit? I have my phaser, three knives and another phaser strapped to my ankle. I am also trained in several forms of unarmed combat.
OPS_Jones says:
*CSO*:  Make sure everyone comes back, after all, we need them for our upcoming special occasion.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the TR goes to a locker grabbing his standard equipment and grabs a combat med. kit for precaution.::
FCO_Barak says:
:: Enters TR1 and picks up a phaser rifle and a hand phaser. ::
TO_Mikan says:
::moves back exactly one half step:: CO: Yes sirrr. ::growls::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: Not yet. Let’s see what we have down there.
CEO_Terumo says:
::follows the others to the TR, picking up a phaser and a tricorder along the way::
CEO_Terumo says:
<EO_Selena>*CEO*: Aye Sir. You've got it.
CMO_Brabas says:
::he looks at all of them with unnecessary stuff that will only slow them and smiles::
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: I'll do everything in my power to work to that end.
EO_Valentine says:
::trots along behind the CEO, tucking her Tricorder into her belt:: CEO: You really think I'll need a phaser sir?
CTO_Worthington says:
::steps onto the padd, awaiting transport::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::mutters to himself about over protective crew, ignoring the fact that he had done the same thing to his previous Captains and walks out of the TL and to the TR::
OPS_Jones says:
*CSO*:  Just be sure you do.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::taps her combadge:: *Henderson*: Christina, you are in charge of Counseling until I get back. Report to the bridge and take my station there. I want to make sure everything stays up to par and they will need an advisor.

OPS_Jones says:
*CSO*:  Take care, love.
EO_Valentine says:
::gulps:: CEO: Okay ::grabs the phaser::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::enters the TR and steps onto the pad, makes sure he has all this stuff and looks at the rest of the crew arranged behind him::
CMO_Brabas says:
::he checks his medical kit again, just in case and goes to the transporter pad::

Host XO_Siatty says:

CNS_Selar says:

Host CO_Lyon says:

XO: Aye, Sir. EO/FCO: Let's enter the building and continue our scans.
CMO_Brabas says:

Host CO_Lyon says:
CMO: That's very strange indeed.
CTO_Worthington says:
*XO*: No sir, nothing. Will continue to search.
EO_Valentine says:
::feels around on the wall for a light switch::
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The lights come on as the AT enter rooms of any building.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at his tricorder as it begins to chirp different readings.:: CO: Sir, I am now detecting a huge underground complex. And it is under this city.
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  Nothing yet, it's still strangely quiet, except for the away team of course.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Still outside of the building :: CEO/EO: Well, I'll follow you then.
OPS_Jones says:
@Self:  Of course.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: Really? ::scans with his own tricorder:: Interesting.
CEO_Terumo says:
EO/FCO: Any strange readings so far?
CTO_Worthington says:
*XO*: Strange sir. Lights come on as we enter the rooms.
EO_Valentine says:
::huddles closer to the CEO: CEO: The lights came on by themselves, Boss.
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: Please scan our coordinates.
CNS_Selar says:
*All*:  CO and TO,  XO and CTO, CSO and FCO, CMO and EO,  CEO and CNS, and everyone will be accompanied by a few security personnel.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CSO*:  Scanning now, stand by.
Host XO_Siatty says:
*CTO*: Not so strange, not much harder than our doors opening.  I'm heading your way, be right there.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He gets on his knee and begins to scan the grass::
CTO_Worthington says:

*All*: Please, stay with your buddies at all times. ::closes com and walks over to where the CEO is::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: CSO: About time too.
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  This is strange, there is a large power source underground directly under them.  That just appeared on scanners.
CEO_Terumo says:
EO: That was unexpected... Can you pinpoint the origin of that signal?
FCO_Barak says:
:: looks at the security officer that joined them. ::
TO_Mikan says:
::stands stoically next to the CO::
EO_Valentine says:
::turns around, almost back to back with the CEO and scans the doorway with her tricorder::

@<Christina Henderson> OPS: That is very strange indeed. Especially since no one inhabits the planet.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Enters the CTO's building.::  CTO: Lovely furnishings.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Stands up with a few pieces of grass and walks toward the EO and CEO::
CEO_Terumo says:
FCO: that would appear to be a staircase.  Can you scan the area near it for anomalous readings?
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: I hope this isn't too boring for you Ronik... that's my job. Stand around and let others come to me with information.
CNS_Selar says:
::she finds the CEO and walks over to him:: CEO/EO: Hello you two. ::takes out her tricorder::
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Yea, we may have to redecorate the Cherokee in a likewise fashion.
FCO_Barak says:
:: starts scanning the area :: CEO: Aye Sir.
CNS_Selar says:
CEO/EO: What have you found so far?
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Laughs.::  CTO: I think that may be a bit too early.
EO_Valentine says:
::thinks for a moment and puts her tricorder away, clapping briskly a few times::
OPS_Jones says:
@Calhoun:  Noted.  *CSO*:  It appears a large underground power source has just shown on sensors.  And scans reveal the entrance to the underground complex is from a circular building in the middle of the city.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Hello there. Came to join the tricorder party?
TO_Mikan says:
::attempts to simulate the human smile but fails miserably showing his canines in what would be described as a growl:: CO: Yes sirrr.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::taps his comm badge:: *All*: Meet back here and report.
CMO_Brabas says:
CEO/EO/CNS: Strange ,very strange. ::He holds the grass as he comes toward them::
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: What do you think happened here? Could they be a xenophobic race who just up and left once we came close to them?
FCO_Barak says:
CNS: Hello Ma’am. :: Appears from behind the counselor ::
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: Thank you Lt. Jones. I was needing that confirmation. Now we hopefully have our first break.
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Well, I guess I have. ::giggles a little and then looks at her tricorder and then hears the CO's com::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS/CMO: We've found nothing to explain this so far, unfortunately.
FCO_Barak says:
CEO: Nothing on the staircase sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: I still want a computer so...*CO*: Aye sir, on our way.
CEO_Terumo says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir. On our way.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CSO*:  Let's hope it leads to something good.
CTO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Aye. ::heads back to the CO's location::
EO_Valentine says:
::makes a face and pulls her tricorder back out, continuing scans:: CNS: Hi Jennifer.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Stays with the Captain, awaiting the others.::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Pretty quick moving, though.  You'd think they'd leave some signs.  ::Heads back with CTO.::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO/CMO/FCO/EO: Shall we report to the CO?
Host CO_Lyon says:
*OPS*: Kyleigh, continues scans and inform me of any further information you can get.
CMO_Brabas says:
CEO/CNS/EO: There is no trace of any life-forms.
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: I'm sure it will.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: They may have experience with it.
EO_Valentine says:
CEO: Why would they leave all their stuff?
TO_Mikan says:
::ears flick back at the sound of the Captain's voice::
OPS_Jones says:
*CO*:  Understood.
CEO_Terumo says:
EO/FCO: We should report back...
Host CO_Lyon says:
::stands in the middle of the street, starting to get impatient::
FCO_Barak says:
CEO/CNS/CMO/EO: I think so, are you coming? I don't feel very comfortable here.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Experienced hiders?  It's a possibility.
CNS_Selar says:
::starts to walk to where the CO is with the group::
Host CO_Lyon says:
*All*: Report back on the double, we have a lead.
TO_Mikan says:
::senses the Captain's impatience and adjusts his stance::
CMO_Brabas says:
CEO/FCO/EO/CNS: Yes we should!
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Arrives back at the Captain.::  CO: What did we find?
CEO_Terumo says:
::opens the door of the building:: All: Let's go, people.
Host CO_Lyon says:

FCO_Barak says:

CMO_Brabas says:
::Follows everyone towards the Captain::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina Henderson> Self: This is very strange. Why would someone just leave something like this. ::looks at the view screen and then the CNS console::
FCO_Barak says:
CO: FCO Barak reporting sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks as the staff assembles:: All: We've located a complex under the city. The entrance appears to be over there. ::points to the largest building:: We're going to investigate.
CMO_Brabas says:
CO: Noting new to report, Sir.
EO_Valentine says:
::slides to a stop in front of the CO::
CEO_Terumo says:
::selects a power distribution scanning protocol on the tricorder, to monitor future power surges, as he reaches the CO:: CO: Reporting as ordered, Sir.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Any idea what the complex is, sir?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::Walks to the building, the others trailing behind him::
CEO_Terumo says:
CO: Did the ship's scans reveal anything, Sir?
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: No idea, but that's what we are here to find out.
FCO_Barak says:

Host XO_Siatty says:

EO_Valentine says:
::trots next to the CO::
CNS_Selar says:
::walks towards the complex::
CMO_Brabas says:
::Walks with rest of AT::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: Only that its quite a large complex.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Sir, not to beat a dead Targ, but you should not enter first.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina Henderson> OPS: You have someone down there you care about deeply?
TO_Mikan says:
::stops the CO before he can enter the building:: CO: Allow me.
CMO_Brabas says:
CNS: I don’t like this, something is strange here.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at the blank wall:: TO: Where?
CEO_Terumo says:
::follow the other officers, while scanning the structure with the tricorder:: CO: I detect what would appear to be openings... doors, perhaps, but I can't see them visually...
FCO_Barak says:
:: feels an uncomfortable shiver down his spine. ::
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  There are no doors into the building.
CNS_Selar says:
CMO: I agree.  CO: I agree with the XO, the TO or CTO should enter first.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: Any way you can open them?
TO_Mikan says:
::looks the building over then takes out his tricorder and examines the walls::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CNS: If we can't open the doors its a moot point.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: People who can disappear at will, under ground complexes without doors?  Where are we, Middle Earth?
OPS_Jones says:
@::looks at Henderson::  Henderson:  Are you new to this ship? ::pauses a moment::  Henderson:  For you information, I am to be married to the CSO in a matter of weeks.
EO_Valentine says:
::walks over to the wall and taps it curiously with her finger:: Wall: Hello in there?
CEO_Terumo says:
CO: I'm already doing active scanning to open them, but with no luck. I suspect that if they are remotely controlled, it's not with a frequency the tricorder can generate on its current configuration.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Maybe we could beam through? XO: Perhaps they have complicated transporting devices.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::can't help but smile at Mai's actions::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a few pieces of grass and checks for their  age through protein structures, with his tricorder::

CNS_Selar says:
@<Christinia Henderson> OPS: I am not new, ma'am. I just do not spend time around the senior officers. I am second in charge of Counseling. So when Jennifer is not here, I must perform her duties. And I am sorry if I have offended you ma'am.
Host CO_Lyon says:
