USS Cherokee 10401.04 Cavern Adventure Part 6

Host SM-Trish says:
The CO and FCO are in cavern complex many meters below the AT.  A flue has been found that has transmitted the Captain's voice above.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::In cavern, wondering about the properties of this world, scanning the local food source to more thoroughly catalogue it for the survey.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: continues to fiddle with the device he and the CSO have pieced together ::

OPS_Nash says:
::sitting on a rock ledge, enjoying some relaxation time.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::In the background checking medical equipment::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO/CTO: What is your ETA on the device?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands by the flue and sticks the improvised commbadge into the flue and activates it.:: XO: Right here, sir. Trying it now. *COM*: Nash to Cherokee.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods at the CSO's words ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Self: I sure hope this works.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Notices a small trickle of water running down the flue and out onto the wall.  Funny thing is there is no puddle at the bottom.  Bends down to investigate.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  An echo is heard below, but there is no answer from the Cherokee.

OPS_Nash says:
::sees a familiar, yet unfamiliar MO, so she walks over to her::  MO:  Need a hand?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks to the CSO and grimaces :: CSO: Okay, back to the drawing board.  Maybe we need to fiddle with the amplitude bounce ratio.

MO-T`Lin says:
OPS: I'm just checking the medical equipment.  It appears to be working properly.  Can I offer assistance at all?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the echo and looks at the XO, defeat evident in his eyes.:: XO: As Mr. Hazzard and I expected. We are having too much interference from the local Einsteinium. CTO: It's worth a shot.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: I don't think we can wait here much longer. Prepare to move out. CSO: We have to find the Captain and get out of here.

MO-T`Lin says:
::gathers medical equipment::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Commander, it's an amazing cavern complex.  I can see into another chamber, just through this wall before me.  I think I could open a passageway up with little fuss.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Acknowledged, sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Prepare to move out. MO: Are the medical supplies adequate? We may have injured people.

OPS_Nash says:
MO:  Not at this time.  I'm doing rather okay.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: starts packing up his gear...looking over to the XO. XO: Sir, better advise the CO to be careful with his phaser.

MO-T`Lin says:
XO: Everything is in working order.  I'm all set.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: I would advise against it Captain. Just stay where you are, we are coming to get you.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods acknowledgement to moving out::  XO:  Would you object if I remain with the MO.  ::pointing to the MO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: What is wrong, are you not feeling well?

MO-T`Lin says:
OPS: How are you feeling?  Everything okay with the baby?

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  Not really, but with my current condition and all, I think it may be safer.

MO-T`Lin says:
OPS: Do you need anything for the morning sickness?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Just sit and watch the water trickle past?  I'm just wondering if it's a passage way.  I can see it going down, but it may go up in the other direction.

OPS_Nash says:
MO:  I'll be just fine now that I have gotten something to eat.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Don't worry though, it may take some time for me to get the confidence to take a Phaser to the rock just yet.  I won't move far without need.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The resonating sound has not desisted in the flue... in fact it is getting louder.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Very well. MO: Keep a close eye on her Doctor. Make sure that she is in no danger. *CO*: Captain, we will get to you fast.

MO-T`Lin says:
::stays by the OPS side to keep her safe::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: puts his pack on his back and grins. XO: I'll take the point, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Is there some kind of interference between us, or is that noise from the planet itself?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Just be careful Hazzard. I don't want you hurting yourself. Just take it nice and easy.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks hurt...then grins :: XO: No worries, trust me.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Shattering crystal can be heard, and the flue begins to open allowing water to begin pouring in.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Dives back from the flue, rolling away from the deluge.:: *XO*: Commander, we have a problem down here!

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: I don't know. I will have the CSO analyze.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::sees the water:: ALL: Let's get out of here fast. CTO: Once we are through, seal the way behind us.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: starts using the tricorder to find a quick way to the CO's location :: Tricorder: Come on you piece of junk, tell me something useful.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Phasers the crack, trying to give the water another exit.  Water or ourselves.::  FCO: Ensign, over here, we may have to move again.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Gotcha sir. One sealed passageway comin up.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: As do we sir. We are coming to you. Are you OK?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Water begins to rush in, getting the MO and OPS wet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: For now.  Water is flowing in through the flue.  If it gets too deep, or flows too fast, we'll move into the next chamber.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: puts the tricorder back on his belt and motions for everyone to move.::  ALL: Time to get moving folks

MO-T`Lin says:
OPS: Are you okay, Kyleigh?

OPS_Nash says:
::sees the water coming in, and it’s coming towards her and the MO, she tries to stay stable::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The opening the CO has made, drains off the water to some extent.  Their lives are not in immediate danger as are the others.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::makes his way to the next hole in the wall:: ALL: Move it through people,. ::motions for everyone::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The surface is becoming very slippery.  The MO falls down scraping her knees, while the CMO runs back to help her up.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins as he waits for the XO to move. :: XO: Sir, I think its time for you to take your own advice.  Take it from me..these walls don't take to phasers well.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm okay.  Help Kyleigh.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Are you ok?

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Yes, I'm all right, thanks.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Do not tell me that until I see what is with your knees!

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: They're only scraped.  Really, I'm fine.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out a tricorder and begins to scan her leg::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Anyone: Are you just playing with us?  What do you want with us?  Bah, there's nothing listening.  I hope.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::goes through the hole in the wall and surveys the surroundings::

OPS_Nash says:
::sees the opening:: CMO/MO:  You can do that when we get to the other side of that opening.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: What happened to Kyleigh? ::Continues with scan::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: backs up, using his phaser to seal the tunnel off.  Smiling to himself as he moves to catch up after he is done. ::  Self: Dang I love my job.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Helps the CMO through the hole::

CMO_Brabas says:
::Help her up:: OPS: You are absolutely right!

OPS_Nash says:
CMO: I'm fine, just getting wet and cold.  Let's get through that opening.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: runs faster through the tunnel. ::

CMO_Brabas says:
OPS: After you ladies!

OPS_Nash says:
::goes through the opening first, taking each step slowly as not to fall::

MO-T`Lin says:
::Assists the OPS in getting through the hole to safety::

MO-T`Lin says:
::follows close behind::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks down the narrow passageway, amazed by the abundance of plantlife this far down. Looks back at everyone:: ALL: Quickly people!

CMO_Brabas says:
::helps OPS and MO to go through the opening and then he goes::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Can you still hear us?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: brings up the rear shaking his head as he looks around. ::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The seal the CTO made is holding.  Water is not leaking down the passageway.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks toward MO::

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: I think we're safe for now.  Is everyone okay?

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Are you all right?  Are you hurt?

OPS_Nash says:
::comes out the other side and looks around, what awaits is really breathtakingly beautiful., then she feels a sense of pride from all around her, as if the planet is proud that it led everyone to this spot::

CMO_Brabas says:
::::Whispers:: MO: Not so loud, no I am not and you! ::Looks at her knees::

MO-T`Lin says:
OPS: How are you doing?  Baby okay?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::takes out his tricorder and scans ahead:: ALL: If everyone is all right, let's move. ::heads down the passageway::

OPS_Nash says:
MO:  So far, everything is fine.

CMO_Brabas says:
OPS: Any unusual feelings?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@FCO: We seem to be alone again.  Let's keep with the survey, but don't go far from this exit.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: steps in front of the XO and stops him :: XO: Sir, if you don't mind. I'll go first.  Ensigns are more expendable than Commanders.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Look at all of these plants. You might want to see if you can match them to our library.

OPS_Nash says:
CMO: Just feelings of pride, but not from me.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Whispers back:: OPS: My knees are just scraped.  I'll be okay.  I'm concerned about you though.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He puts down his med kit:: MO: I need you here!

OPS_Nash says:
MO:  Doctor, I'll be fine.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye, Commander. :: Takes a sample of the plant to analyze it.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::Walks over the CMO:: CMO: How can I help?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Starts scanning the water for some clue as to what caused the deluge.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He smiles at OPS conclusion:: MO: Please!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: I have heard that line before Ensign. I will go first, you will keep an eye on the rear for a while.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Let me have an look on this. ::Points to his knees::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  Commander, I sense something else from our immediate surroundings.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: What is it, Lt.?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a probe from tricorder and takes fast scans::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods :: XO: Yes, Sir.  Rearbound Yo! :: shakes his head and takes up the rear guard.::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: This is fabulous. But I wouldn't expect to see them here. I'd expect to find the varieties here to be growing on an island in the tropics of Earth.

MO-T`Lin says:
::shows CMO her knees:: CMO: See, they're fine.

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  It's almost like the planet is proud that it led us here.  You know, feelings of Pride.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Do you sense any danger? Could this be a trap?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks on his tricorder:: MO: Not by my standards.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out a dermal regenerator and some antiseptics::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  No danger at all, its as if we are supposed to be here at this time.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Ouch, that stings.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He then opens a little bit and puts some antiseptics on the wounds::

MO-T`Lin says:
::Cringes at the stinging pain::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Do you need a tranquilizer? ::Smiles::

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Well then, if they have a show for us, we will just have to play along. ::continues down the narrow passage::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a dermal regenerator and begins to heal scrapes on MO’s knees::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  Exactly.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows the others marveling at the plantlife represented.::

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm fine.  Thanks

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tricorder: Note, attempt to communicate through the flue seems to have done some damage to the flue itself.  There are crystal particles in the water leaving the end of the flue, indicating we broke open a passage to a water chamber...or blood vessel.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the CTO is concerned with bringing up the rear, he is not paying attention and trips and falls on a vine that wasn't there before.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::as they descend further, huge crystal formations surround them, with many various gemstones and even more bizarre plantlife.:: CSO: Do you believe this?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks around in awe.:: XO: It's amazing.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm feeling better, but I think we may need to check on the CTO.  He has fallen.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The vine begins to wrap itself around the CTO's legs, almost in a loving fashion.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Are you okay?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: falls face first mumbling several Andorian curses as he tries to pick himself up .:: All: Dangit..first water, then rocks, now flippin Vines! V'lucha!!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: It's as if we are in some strange museum.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tricorder: It makes me think of an ear drum breaking from loud noise.  Combined with our method of transit from one chamber to another, the small walls between the round, cell like chambers, and the feeling of consciousness detected by Lieutenant Nash have me wondering more and more if my earlier theory is correct.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: OK, you are fine now. Let us see what is happening in the rear. You watch on Kyleigh.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Helps to free CTO of vine::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks up at the MO :: MO: This planet doesn't like me.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks toward rear of AT::

CMO_Brabas says:
CTO: Oh really? ::Smiles::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Agreed Commander. A living museum. :: Hears the commotion behind him and sweeps the area of gathered officers with his tricorder.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Absently starts humming a tune as the scans continue.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
MO: Thanks for the concern Doc.  I'll be fine.  Just have to watch my step. :: takes the MO's offered hand and grins lopsidedly.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::Smiles:: CTO/MO: If I did not know you right, I might think that you are in some kind of hurry.

CSO_Nash says:
:: As his scan takes in the CTO he begins to get a strange reading near his feet.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks down at the vine and kicks it off his boot.  :: Self : What kind of vine has sparkles?

MO-T`Lin says:
::looks at the plantlife around them.  The flowers are vibrant shades of pink, green and blue flowers::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes his tricorder and opens a new file on it::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: his face goes blank as a series of thoughts run through his mind. ::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The vine begins generating warmth, as if it were a living being.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to scan that plant for chemical compounds::

OPS_Nash says:
::as she is walking by some of the plants, they seems to blossom more fully in her presence, could it be that they know she is pregnant and showing their appreciation for the new life developing within her::

MO-T`Lin says:
::watches as the vine begins to glow::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The pain that was caused by the fall to the CTO, now is gone.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::waits as the team investigates the vine::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Gets an elevated reading from the vine.:: CTO: Everything ok, Mark?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Reprograms Tricorder to make each key strokes, but with each stroke, transmit a low frequency, moderate volume beep.  Starts tapping in prime numbers.::  FCO: Sentience test, first step in communication.  If the planet is alive or inhabited by unseen beings, we need to communicate with it.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks at Kyleigh:: OPS: Are you sensing something?

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: It's beautiful in here.  I sense a presence in here.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: slightly distracted, his voice monotone as if distracted. :: CSO: Yeah, sure.

OPS_Nash says:
CMO:  Not this time Doctor, but look at the plants, don't they seem more vibrant when I am nearby?

CMO_Brabas says:
ALL: OK people, I need you all on the ground!

CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks at plants::

Host Planet says:
MO:  And you are beautiful as well.  ::said very softly to the MO.  She is not sure if she heard it or not::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over to the CMO and MO.:: CMO/MO: Take a look at these readings, they're off the charts.

MO-T`Lin says:
::wondering if the other crew members heard the voice or if she was just imagining it::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: mumbles as if workin a problem out. :: Self : One connected life form, circulation, articulate limbs...everything.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Looks at them:: CSO: Unusual?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: What is the situation Commander?

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: Did anyone here that?  I think someone or something spoke to me.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Lets make a theory.

OPS_Nash says:
MO:  Sorry, I didn't but I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Come over here and take a look at these readings, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@FCO: Do me a favor, as you move about, keep talking.  Don't worry what you say, just think out loud what you are doing and seeing.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves back to the CSO:: CSO: What have you found?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: is snapped out of his thoughts by the MO's words. XO: Commander, I think we have something here!

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: It is possible that every thing on this planet represents an part of huge body?

MO-T`Lin says:
Planet: ~~Is anyone there?~~

Host Planet says:
ACTION:  The vine releases the CTO and withdraws back into the flowering plants.

MO-T`Lin says:
::speaks to the planet hoping to get another response::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Very unusual readings. I was showing them to the Doctors to see what their medical opinions of them are.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He realized what MO just said::

MO-T`Lin says:
Planet: ~~We come in peace.  We are explorers.~~

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Self: I'm trying to make contact with a planet that may be nothing more than it seems.  Have I lost my mind?  I don't think so.  I'm using the Tricorder to...  ::Continues to speak his thoughts, just to let the planet hear the sound of his voice.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: moves closer to the MO :: MO: Doc, talk to me.  What do you hear?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes his probe from tricorder and begins to scan MO brain waves::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Gets a nagging feeling about some of the things that Kyleigh and the Captain were saying.:: CMO: A definite possibility.

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: I was detecting a presence here, and I thought I heard someone talking to me.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CSO/CMO: So if the planet is in fact alive, we must find a way to contact it.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: The readings have dropped back to normal with the disappearance of the vine.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Let us presume what would that be.

OPS_Nash says:
::whispers softly under her breath::  Planet:  Why have you brought us here?  What do you have to show us?

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: I'm not picking up the presence any longer.  Whatever it was, it's gone now.

CMO_Brabas says:
CTO/XO/CSO: Maybe it could represent feelings of some being!

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: You have had feelings of the planet's presence as well?

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: If that supposition is true, then why haven't we seen any defensive mechanisms then?

MO-T`Lin says:
XO: Yes, I have.  I thought I heard it speaking to me earlier.  But whatever it was, it's gone now.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Flowers would then be in some form of positive emotion.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Dolphin: Are you in range of my voice?  Are you independent?

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Maybe we are not a threat to it?

Host Planet says:
ACTION:  A splash is heard and the dolphin sticks it head up from the water and squirts the Captain.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: It makes sense sir.  The Doc is half Vulcan, with her races' affinity for telepathy it might make it easier for her to contact the planetary life form.

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Keep me informed Doctor. ALL: I know this is all fascinating, but I think we should continue. If the planet is alive, it apparently wants us to continue down this way.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Yes that could be. But the same thing points me to curiosity. OPS/MO: Any sense of curiosity in your perceptions?

Host Planet says:
ACTION:  A rumble is heard, as if the planet is replying to the XO's last statement.

MO-T`Lin says:
XO: I did not detect that we were considered a threat.  It was more peaceful.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Dolphin: That answers one question.  ::Kneels down.::  What are you?  Who are you?  We need answers my friend.  ::Puts paw out slowly to try and pat the creature.::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO:I would like ::He takes one extra probe from med kit:: you to have this just in case!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::heads back into the lead and continues down the path:: ALL: Move out!

Host Dolphin says:
::clicks and chirps emanate from the dolphin::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Just the peaceful feelings as if we are doing exactly what we are supposed to.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He waits for MO and follows down::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves out as ordered.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::follows the crew::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: Let us know if you get any negative feelings in the future.

OPS_Nash says:
::follows the others, staying between the MO and CSO::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods. Waiting for the others to move out before following after them, keeping his eyes out for any errant vines.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  You'll be the first to know when I do.

OPS_Nash says:
::smiles at her husband::

Host Dolphin says:
ACTION:  The plants begin to move, at the departure of the AT, as if a breeze is blowing them.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: That's my girl. :: Grins.::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Put it on the right part of your forehead. ::Gives a probe to MO::

MO-T`Lin says:
::follows after the OPS keeping, her steady as the breeze blows their way::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Dolphin: Yes, you can communicate.  So can we.  Now let's keep the samples flowing and see who's translator works faster.  Interesting how much you look like creatures from Oceans, yet you are subsurface.  I wonder why that is?  ::Continues to speak, just to let the creature hear our language while the comm badge UT works on its.::

CMO_Brabas says:
Self: Unusual.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::As they move ahead, the pathway changes from the floor of the cave to a crystal walkway adorned with gemstones:: CSO: Looks like they have rolled out the red carpet for us.

MO-T`Lin says:
::places the probe on forehead::

Host Dolphin says:
::it looks at the Captain, then swims down stream as if expecting the Captain to follow him::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye, Commander. A very ornately adorned one.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He activates an probe and make an link with his tricorder::

OPS_Nash says:
::as she is walking by the gemstones embedded in the walls, she wishes she can have just one amethyst stone as a simple reminder of this extraordinary mission::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Dolphin: Where do you want us to go?  Are you trying to take us somewhere?  Let's find out.  FCO: Grab the uniform parts and fill them up.  Let's see what the planet wants.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He makes as an alarm every time when the alpha brain waves begin to change::

Host Dolphin says:
ACTION:  The dolphin waits patiently while the CO and FCO slip into the water, offering the dorsal fin to hold onto.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He also makes a connection for any chemical changes in the brain::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Walks over to the wall, scratching an arrow towards the river and writing "Dolphin took us this way" in the soil.  Grabs uniform trousers, fill them with air, and slips onto the dolphin.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Continues to scan as he sees his mates wistful look at the amethysts on the walls.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Takes a deep breath and moves close to the Dolphin, ready to go.::

OPS_Nash says:
::continues walking to where the path leads, wondering what is laying ahead for them::

Host Dolphin says:
::feeling the two beings hold his fin, he dives and goes to the next cavern, bringing them up sputtering, almost out of air.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::as the walkway narrows, the walls are completely covered in plantlife.:: ALL: Looks like we have to take this one at a time. Very carefully.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles as he speaks his thoughts :: ALL: Maybe we should just ask the Planet for the Captain and the FCO back nicely?

CMO_Brabas says:
Self: It is most uncommonly. ::he looks at everything that has been changed::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Gasps.::  Self: By Ulmo's will, I hate submarining.

Host Dolphin says:
ACTION:  The CSO accidentally brushes against the snug wall and where he left his mark, the walls begin to glow.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Couldn't hurt. Out Loud: Hello there Mister Planet. I am Commander Worthington. Could I have my Captain and FCO, please, if you are not too busy?

OPS_Nash says:
::walks through the narrow walkway::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Any idea what this would represent?

MO-T`Lin says:
::follows the OPS through the passageway::

CMO_Brabas says:
::Points at places where it is glowing::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves away from the wall and sees a glow.:: XO: This appears to be phosphorescences.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Dolphin: Is this where you wanted us to come, or is there more travel ahead?

Host Dolphin says:
@::dives leaving the CO and FCO alone once again::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Let me take a look at the place on you where you brushed your self on the wall.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CSO: I guess the planet is too busy. CSO: Maybe we should offer Hazzard as a sacrifice to the planet, you know, get it on our good side? ::looks at the wall::

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Not at present. It would appear that my clumsiness has attracted attention.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: A tempting offer, but we truly need him around, sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: It already hates me, Sir.  Perhaps it wants something more important.  I hear XO's are pretty rare. :: Grins, getting used to finally joking back with him.::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Not that.

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: Maybe you can just sacrifice an arm or a leg?

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Explain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Sloshes out of the water and onto the beach.::  FCO: Another example of the planet's beauty?  Is the creature a Red blood cell, or a tour guide?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Why Hazzard, I didn't know you had it in you. And yes, I am quite rare.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: I need to see if it has any reaction on your body.

CTO_Hazzard says:
MO: Doc, better people have tired to disarm me.

OPS_Nash says:
::can't help not to chuckle at the conversations around her::

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: By all means Doc. :: Moves over to him.::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: And...::Waits for a moment:: Maybe if we...::He touches a wall::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO: I can't believe your feeling the planet up, Scott.  And in front of your wife no less!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Self: OK, now we're in another chamber, similar but different.  Still a large number of crystals, but this time it's almost like snow flakes.  It's not cold here, but from some method, the "flakes" are permanent.  Perhaps this chamber was once chilled, freezing mineralized water causing a process similar to stalagmite formation?

MO-T`Lin says:
::wonders if the planet will speak again to her::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Wait just a minute. It's all in the pursuit of science, bub.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: I have one conclusion, these plants are not harmful!

OPS_Nash says:
::laughs::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Alright, let's go get the Captain and get out of here. CSO: Commander, do you two need some alone time?

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: For now we are safe, and we can be sure that when It has an angry feeling toward us, well you know.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles :: OPS: You really need to reign your husbands touchy feely moments in there Lieutenant.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  I'm not worried in the least. ::smiles::
