USS Cherokee 10401.18 Cavern Adventure Part 8

Host SM-Trish says:
The XO's team has found an abundant supply of food, which was needed as all theirs was left behind in the cavern that flooded.  The CO's plight is not known, other than he is somewhere far beneath them.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Wandering about the large open area, mapping it out and trying to find other ways in and out.::

OPS_Nash says:
::about ready to resume the search for the end of this mysterious adventure::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks around at all the vegetation:: CSO: Looks like we hit the jackpot.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::looking about the expanse of the new cave they have discovered.  Keeping a watchful eye over his crewmates.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::surveying and cataloging vegetables::

CSO_Nash says:
::Continues to scan the area. He takes a moment to walk over to OPS and sits next to her.:: OPS: Now that's interesting. May I try some of it?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  An eerie sound is heard in the cavern system, the rabbit-like creatures sit up and sniff the air, ready to take flight.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye Commander, and it is all safe according to scans.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO: Maybe later.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Crouches, drawing Phaser and shutting down hand lamp.  Signals FCO to do the same.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::reacts to the sound and notices the fearful reaction of the bunnies.::  MO: Stay close, that didn't sound like a friendly sound.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Scans it::

MO-T`Lin says:
::stays next to the CTO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::hears the odd noise:: CTO/CSO: Do you hear that? What does the tricorder make of it?

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves closer to OPS.:: OPS: Something’s up. Any feelings?

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: I am sensing danger.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the CO shuts down his lamp, the walls begin to glow on their own.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::raises his tricorder and brings up his phaser just in case.:: XO: Have no idea, sir.  Recommend closing ranks just to be safe.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@FCO: Follow close, and keep your eyes and ears open.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Do it! ::pulls out his phaser::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO: No, same as before.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Looks around.  All the bunnies have disappeared into their holes::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Scanning now, nothing evident yet. I'll let you know when I find the cause.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::stands in front of the MO, backing up towards the rest of the group as he looks about.::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Please be ready for anything! ::He pulls out his phaser and puts it on heavy stun::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Everyone close up, try to stay down.

CSO_Nash says:
::Prepares to protect his beloved.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::notices the temperature in the cavern begin to drop:: CMO: I'm ready.  ::Pulls out her phaser::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::checks his tricorder..scanning for any nearby life forms that could be approaching.::

OPS_Nash says:
::does everything she can to protect the fruit she has::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Could it be more water?

CMO_Brabas says:
::Listens to the XO and gets closer::

CSO_Nash says:
::Does as ordered.:: OPS: This looks like a nice spot. ::Sits down and cradles OPS protectively.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Finds a fork in the road, and takes the left fork, not wanting to stay put in the large, open area.  Of the two, this one was the lighter one::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Whatever it is, tricorder isn't picking it up.  Might be from the interference.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The rabbits begin to growl from their holes.  The temperature in the cave has dropped 10 degrees and going lower.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Scans aren't picking up anything yet.

OPS_Nash says:
::is not worried:: CSO: Relax, all will be just fine, you'll see.

CTO_Hazzard says:
MO: Is it me...or is it getting cold in here?

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: It's getting chilly.  And have you noticed the bunnies have disappeared?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Make sure everyone stays down, I'll take the left, you watch the right side.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*AT*: Can anyone hear me yet?  Hello?

CMO_Brabas says:
All: Very cold.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: I hope so. XO: It's dropped 10 degrees and is steadily dropping sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::nods to the MO's question, turning his attention to the right side.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::begins to get a chill::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO: I'm not cold, especially when you are near. ::smiles::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes scans of the environment, trying to find some form of bacteria or molecular change.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::checks her supply of vegetables in her bag::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: If it begins to drop much more, we may have to create a source of heat with our phasers, but in the meantime let's wait to find out what we are up against.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A rabbit jumps into the MO's lap, almost scaring her out of her wits, it is offering her a carrot and fussing up a storm!

CSO_Nash says:
XO: I suggest we gather food. The metabolism will keep us warm.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Sir, permission to journey ahead and see if I can find the source of that sound.

MO-T`Lin says:
::speaking to rabbit:: Well hello little one.  Are you offering me a carrot?

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: This little critter seems frightened out of her wits.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks toward the cavern walls and puts a hand on it::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The CMO feels a vibration in the walls...

CMO_Brabas says:
All: People!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Continues along the tunnel, head darting about, sniffing the air.::

CMO_Brabas says:
ALL: I feel something from this wall.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CSO: Negative for now, grab what you can without moving too far.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a fast scan::

OPS_Nash says:
::double checks her stash in her bag as well as the ones she is carrying::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CMO: What is it Doctor?

MO-T`Lin says:
::releases her little bunny and watches as it returns to the hole it came from::

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Feel it! ::Points to wall::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye sir. :: Begins to grab armloads of the fruit and moves it over to the others.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::starts to pick random vegetables and fruits...stashing it in his pack as he continues to watch for any sign of the noisy intruder.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Are we reading any seismic activity? CMO: What kind of feeling Doctor?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@FCO: This feels like a Holodeck.  Right now I feel like some sort of hunting expedition.  Just not sure which side of the hunt we're on.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The sound is coming nearer... oddly it sounds like the growl of a T-Rex.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Vibration!

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Negative, sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: OK, something is coming. Everyone get down.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::stands in front of the group, hoping to head off whatever it is that is approaching.  Taking cover by a nearby boulder.::  XO: I thought we told the management we didn't want solicitors.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He puts his ear to the wall and listen for a few seconds::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Commander, picking up seismic spikes now.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Get down Hazzard. CSO: Where are they coming from?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Picks up the pace a touch, resisting the urge to dart ahead in a sprint.::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Coming up the cavern with that sound, sir.  About 2 miles down. ALL: Prepare for a quake.

MO-T`Lin says:
::gets an eerie feeling that something bad is about to happen::

MO-T`Lin says:
::braces herself against the cavern wall::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Why do I feel that we are in some kind of living being?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::crouches behind the boulder and looks ahead...watching for any sign of movement.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a scan of the walls and looks for harder parts of it.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A line of creatures begin running into the cavern, they look like ducks but have the teeth of piranhas.  They begin to dive into the rabbit holes.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: You have that feeling too. I had the same thoughts.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: What the...? ::whispers:: ALL: Everyone, try to stay out of their sight.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: It looks to me like… ::Thinks for a second and clears the way of the creatures:: like that ring world!

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves himself and OPS to hide behind a stalagmite.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::stays still...keeping his phaser at the ready.::

OPS_Nash says:
::grabs her things as she is being led for cover::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Screams can be heard from under the ground, as the rabbits are being attacked and eaten.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Possibly, but this is organic life not mechanical.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::whispers:: CTO: They even look at us the wrong way, we will open fire. But wait for the order.

MO-T`Lin says:
::pulls out her tricorder to scan the critters as they run by::

CMO_Brabas says:
::feels sorry for that rabbit like creatures::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION: The sound of the tricorder attracts the sound of several creatures, which turn and head in the direction of the MO, teeth bared.

OPS_Nash says:
::is beginning to wonder if this is a strange dream that someone is having::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Look out!

MO-T`Lin says:
::grabs her phaser and sets it for stun::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::takes no thought...firing at the ducks as they approach::

CTO_Hazzard says:
Ducks: Over here you feathered FREAKS!

MO-T`Lin says:
::fires at the ducks::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He runs to her direction::

Host XO_Worthington says:
:sees them change direction:: CTO: Fire! ::begins to fire at the creatures::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Continues climbing, wondering if this is the right direction.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Sees the creatures heading for the MO and switches his tricorder off.::

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: Thanks, sir.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He pushes MO to the wall::

OPS_Nash says:
::stays perfectly still::

CSO_Nash says:
::Pulls his phaser and stands to fire at the creatures.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::Fires at a duck as it comes toward the CMO::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::takes shots as they come...trying to draw their attention away from the MO.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the ducks begin to die, their fellow creatures begin to leave, as if they know they stand no chance against a new foe.

CMO_Brabas says:
::pushes MO’s tricorder away::

MO-T`Lin says:
::feels relief that the ducks have left::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::finishes off the retreating ducks::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Is everyone all right?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::puts his phaser down and looks at the rest of the AT.::  AT: Anyone hurt?

CMO_Brabas says:
All: Everyone all right?

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: I'm okay, just a little shook up.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks back toward CSO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*AT*: Can you hear us yet?  ::Continues walking.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: OK, let's take a minute in case they return. CTO: Let's take a peak at the damage.

CSO_Nash says:
XO/CMO: We're fine here.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Like I said, Ring world!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::nods.  Returning his attention to where the ducks fled too...keeping an eye out for more of them.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  One duck is not quite dead and manages to take a bite out of the MO with its dying breath, locking its jaw into her calf.

MO-T`Lin says:
::ouch::

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Biological as you said!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Analyze these creatures. OPS: Collect more food, please.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::kicks the duck and blasts it as he hears the MO call out...:: CMO: Doc! Need your help over here!

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: My leg.  ::starting to feel dizzy and starting to fall over::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: What happened?

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Possibly. We'll know more when we find the Captain and FCO.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: catches the MO:: CMO: She got bit by one of those ducks.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Goes over to her and takes her under the arm::

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Doctor! ::moves over to her:: CTO: What happened?

OPS_Nash says:
::nods as she picks up the CSO's bag and gathers all sorts of different food::

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: I'm not sure.  I don't feel very good.  I feel faint.

MO-T`Lin says:
::tries to stay conscious::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: One of those ducks must have been only injured...it snuck up on her and bit her ...I blasted it but it looks like it got a good chunk.

MO-T`Lin says:
::loses consciousness::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a scan of the wound and looks for  sinew cuts::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the MO and lightly pats her cheek...:: MO: Wake up Doc...come on...stay with us here.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Hold it!

MO-T`Lin says:
::hears the CTO's words, fighting to stay awake::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Clear out the corpses, make sure they are all dead, then set up a defensive perimeter.

MO-T`Lin says:
CTO: My leg.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out a Hypo and gives the  MO some light dosage of Adrenalin mix::

MO-T`Lin says:
::begins to re-awaken::  CMO: Thanks, sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Doctor, I need you to stay with us. You are going to be just fine.

CTO_Hazzard says:
MO: Look at me, Doc....stay with us okay.  We're not going anywhere...

CMO_Brabas says:
::He continues to check for bacterial or poison leftovers in MO’s wound::

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm feeling .. a little .. better.  ::stuttering::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: No problem.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Mr. Hazzard, Doctor Brabas has the situation under control. Now go make sure those things don't bite anyone else!

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: That is just for now, I need to check your wound.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Okay.  ::pulls her pants leg up::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The MO passes out with no warning.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods and gently lays the MO down so the CMO can work on her....MO: Be right back Doc....:: stands up and sets his phaser for kill..walking around the area as he blasts duck corpses as he sees them.::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: This is not good. ::takes scans:: It has poison leftovers.

MO-T`Lin says:
::Can hear voices, but can't respond::

OPS_Nash says:
::brings the full bag back to the group::   XO: This should suffice.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::kneels down:: MO: Wake up Doctor. CMO: What is going on?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Continues climbing.::  *AT*: Can you hear me now?

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: She is poisoned! ::he takes a hypo and mixes up a dosage of penicillin based antidote::

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Thank you Lieutenant. See if you can find out how our rabbit friends are doing. Stay close to Hazzard.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CMO: Can you isolate the toxin?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He gives the MO a big dosage of it. Just a little higher on the wound::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the duck-like creatures.:: XO: Commander, Scans show these creatures to be edible We just have to remove a poison sack in them.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO:I think that I can!

OPS_Nash says:
XO: If you insist, but it didn't sound too good for our furry little friends.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Can you analyze it?

MO-T`Lin says:
::starts to awaken again::

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: My head hurts really bad.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: tries not to worry...knowing she is in good hands...sneering as he blasts another duck corpse...::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::grabs the MO's hand:: MO: Wake up Doctor, you are going to be fine.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check the venom::

MO-T`Lin says:
XO: I think I'm okay.  I just have a really mad headache now.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Ouch and my leg hurts really bad!!

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: I'll run a diagnostic on one of them. :: Uses a cutting scalpel from the doctors bag and opens one of the ducks and removes a sack with gloved hands. Then he begins the scan on it.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He then analyzes it for best portion of antidote and gives it to her::

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Good. You had us worried for a second.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm not sure I'm going to be able to walk on it.

OPS_Nash says:
::goes to the nearest hole to see if any rabbit creatures survived, she peeks in a hole and shines a light in it::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Nah, you will run after my treatment.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A little nose can be seen at the end of OPS light.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CMO: I hope your "treatment" is by the book, Doctor.

OPS_Nash says:
Aloud:  Hello, don't be frightened, they're gone, they won't hurt you.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to scan local tissue of MO’s leg around the bite and checks for rotting effects of the poison::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::walks up to the XO and wipes his brow...:: XO: Sir. all bodies have been neutralized.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Did you get that little bugger that bit me?

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Ahh it always is. ::Smiles::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Yes, CSO is just cutting it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Good, now go and watch for them in case they return.

CMO_Brabas says:
::he takes a dermal regenerator and sets it to higher settings:: MO: This will hurt a bit!

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: It's okay, just do it.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the CO nears a tunnel, a knarled tree moves to block his way in.

MO-T`Lin says:
::grits her teeth::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::walks by and pats the MO on the shoulder...grinning as he passes by. MO: Hang in their Doc.  ::continues to walk by and keeps his eye out for more of the ducks.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Stops, holding up a hand to stop the FCO as well.::

MO-T`Lin says:
::throws a smile to the CTO::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: I will use dermal regenerator to singe a whole for 3 seconds, ready?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::holds her hand through the pain:: MO: Hey, this is the first time I get to be a nurse.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Go ahead.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tree: Uh, excuse us please.

MO-T`Lin says:
::squeezes the XO's hand really hard::

MO-T`Lin says:
XO: Sorry, that really hurts.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to singe wound::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Ok that’s it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::tries not to yell and shoots back a fake smile:: MO: No problem..

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: Thanks guys.  ::smiles at her protectors::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The tree wraps its branches around the CO and lifts it to the top branch.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Self: Whoa there!

MO-T`Lin says:
::looks around to see where the CTO went::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::looks over to the CSO:: CSO: Any reason why the temperature dropped just before Daffy and Co. rushed us, Sir?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes out a little dermal patch and puts it on her leg::

MO-T`Lin says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: Thank you, sir.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Sit for now, don’t move too far, please.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: No problem here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tree: Can you understand me?  Are you sentient, or just a part of this world?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The rabbits begin to come out of their holes, population seems to be the same.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Sir? There you go again.

Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Ok, Doc. Your orders are to rest here for a while. CMO: Keep an eye on her. ::gets up and moves over to the CSO and CTO::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Two holes in the tree appear to be eyes, but no speech is forthcoming.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Sir!

OPS_Nash says:
::a rabbit emerges to check things out::  Rabbit:  See, look around, they are not going to bother you .

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CSO: Report.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Negative. It usually warms up before an invasion. If this is a living organism, I suppose that those things were invaders to it. Sort of like a virus or bacterial infection. But things are not typical here.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO:I think that we should find some form of transport for MO.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Coast is clear for now, Sir.  No sign of the foul fowls.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Self: By Yavannah's mind!  ::Peers inside.::  What are you?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The ground begins to move, a slight quake can be felt.  The rabbits instead of taking to their holes, begin to run towards the end of the cavern.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Self: Now what?

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: This can not be good.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Quake intensifying. I suggest we follow the rabbits, sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO/CTO: Looks like we may have to move.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes his Med bag and puts under MO’s knee.:: MO: Here, this will help.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Thanks, I think I'll just hobble along, sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Prepare everyone to move, Mr. Hazzard and I will explore ahead.

OPS_Nash says:
::notices the direction they are heading::  ALL: I agree with that, they are leading us to a way out.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins..::  XO: I'll take lead, sir.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Yes I agree. But you will have help for walking.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::walks ahead keeping his phaser at the ready.::

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Okay, thanks.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: Ready?

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: Ready.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Just don't slip and fall again.

MO-T`Lin says:
::wonders when the pain in her leg will stop.  Does not want to alarm her fellow crewmates::

CSO_Nash says:
ALL: Let's move out. CMO: I'll help you with the MO. :: Offers a shoulder ducking down to make her comfortable.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes her under arm on the side of the wound and helps her up::

MO-T`Lin says:
CSO: Thank you.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Thanks.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Freaking hand is killing me.

CSO_Nash says:
::Reaches out with the other hand.:: OPS: Shall we?

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: I cant help with easing the pain unless you want to be drugged in some way?

MO-T`Lin says:
::thinks good thing she didn't squeeze the XO's hand really tight::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tree: If I didn't know better, I'd say you were an Onodrim.  Did we find the straight way?  No, that's symbolic, mythological.  But what is this?

OPS_Nash says:
::gathers up their supplies, and just as she is just out of earshot of the others she whispers softly, "Thank you for the food, they will help us out a lot" then she returns to the group::  CSO:  Yes, let's go.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm okay, I'll live with it.  Let's just get out of here.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::looks ahead and sees the hole the rabbits have entered.::  XO: Sir...I think I found where the natives are hiding out at.

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: My thoughts exactly ::Smiles::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The Tree lifts him up and turns him in the direction of the exit.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO: If she must enter a healing trance, I can carry her.

CMO_Brabas says:
::he takes his med bag::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: What do you say?

MO-T`Lin says:
CSO: I'm okay, really.  I'll make it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks down at his hand and notices the diamond sticking out.:: Self: Dang, must have got it stuck in there when I kneeled down. ::Pulls out the diamond:: CTO: What do you see?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tree: So you're a traffic sign?  Leading me to the next stage of the journey?  Let's get on with it, then.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the MO puts weight on the leg, it begins to swell at a rapid pace.

CSO_Nash says:
MO: A regular trooper.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::kneels down and shines a light into the opening...stepping a little further in.::  XO: Looks like a dead end , Sir.

MO-T`Lin says:
CSO: My leg, ouch.  It's really starting to swell.  Looks like that healing trance isn't such a bad idea.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Another quake hits the cavern, stronger this time, measuring 3.5.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: What are the rabbits doing? Just sitting there?

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: Put her on my back.

MO-T`Lin says:
::the pain in her leg causes her to sit down::

CSO_Nash says:
MO: Let's do it then. :: Scoops her up in his arms.::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He holds onto the wall::

MO-T`Lin says:
::lowers body temperature and enters into a healing trance::

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: They are all the way in the back, huddling at the back of the hole.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO: I don’t like it. ::Takes out tricorder and measures MO’s brain patterns::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The tree lowers the CO to the ground and slowly moves out of his way.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Well that can't be good. We are just going to have to find another way out of here.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Another quake hits, either the AT enters the hole, or they will be pelted with stones from above.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Tree: Thank you, friend.  Go in peace.  ::Slowly turns and walks towards the exit.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Nevermind.  ALL: Come on, everyone into the hole!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks to the XO:: XO: Sir...maybe those rabbits have the right idea...might be wise to get in outta the rain so to speak.

OPS_Nash says:
::feels something from the presence::  XO:  Sir, I think we are to stay here and as close to the walls as possible, just like our friends there.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Helps CSO with MO and enters the hole::

CSO_Nash says:
::Enters the hole with the MO in his arms.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The quakes intensify.  Dust begins to fill the hole.

OPS_Nash says:
XO: Of course, I could be reading what I am feeling wrong.

MO-T`Lin says:
::the healing trance begins to cleanse the MO's body of the bacteria from the duck creature::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::waits for everyone to get inside before joining them....:: XO: Sir, after you?

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Fascinating, never taken orders from a planet before. ALL: OK, up against the walls. ::goes into the hole::

OPS_Nash says:
::follows the others and goes up against the wall::::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::follows the XO into the cave, getting as close to the wall as possible.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Passing into a different rock strata, the ground starts shaking and the roof starts breaking up.  Dodges rocks, looking for shelter...or an open space to be clear of the falling rocks.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Ducks his head and blocks the MO with his body facing the wall.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Let's just ride this out.

CMO_Brabas says:
All: Let’s get out of here!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles :: XO: You ever get the feeling that this just isn't our day?

MO-T`Lin says:
::as the healing trance clears the bacteria from the MO's body, she slowly begins to regain consciousness::

MO-T`Lin says:
::opens eyes and wonders what's going on::

MO-T`Lin says:
CSO: What's going on?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Yea, maybe you are a bad luck charm. ::smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
::hears what the XO says and chuckles::

CSO_Nash says:
MO: Welcome back. We are in cover of a hole riding out a shaker from the planet.

MO-T`Lin says:
CSO: I think you can put me down now.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Puts her down.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Dashes into a new opening, seeing an unusual sight ahead.  About 100 Meters or so ahead, an ocean.  Makes for it, as the quake seems weaker in that direction.::

CMO_Brabas says:
MO: You all right now?

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Try not to step on the rabbits people.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO:  Oh no...your not pinning this on me, Sir. I personally think its the CO's fault.  He took all our luck with him when he went along with this trip.

CMO_Brabas says:
CSO :I tell your alive!

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I'm okay.  My leg's still a little sore, but much better.  Thanks.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The last quake hits, 6.8, then all is still once more.  A few more after shocks will follow but they are minor.

OPS_Nash says:
XO: Believe me, I am doing just that.

MO-T`Lin says:
ALL: Wow, what did I miss?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Mr. Hazzard, I think you are right. This is the Captain's fault.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: peers out of the cave entrance....:: XO: Sir, I think the quake's stopped.  Want me to take a look around?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Rolls out of the passage, onto the beach, with the FCO in tow.::  FCO: An underground ocean.  But this beach has had visitors lately, since the last tide.  I wonder if it's sentient?

MO-T`Lin says:
::looks down at her leg and examines the bite marks::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Feels the trembles subside.:: XO: The intensity reached 6.8 on the Richter scale. But it's spent. Just a few after shakers to make it through, but nothing as intense.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: We will just wait another minute, we wouldn't want you to get crushed by falling rocks.

CMO_Brabas says:
CTO: Yes it should have left you a big scar. ::Smiles::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::shrugs at the CMO and grins :: CMO: Well...some women find scars attractive...dashing even.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Smiles::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Yea, they are called Klingons.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Nothing wrong with that, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Follows the tracks to a small lagoon, surrounded by dunes and filled with reeds.  Can't yet see anything.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::chuckles ::

CMO_Brabas says:
::Smiles::

MO-T`Lin says:
::smiles at the CTO and CMO's responses::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Whatever floats your boat Ensign.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO:  Don't tell me Klingon Women intimidate you sir?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Suddenly the rabbits begin to rush out of the hole, making happy sounds.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Hears a clicking sound, rolls and fires Phaser.::  FCO: Looks like dinner.  Just hope it's not part of the planet.  You like Lobster, I hope?

CMO_Brabas says:
All: OK, I can see that our morale is back, let’s now get us out of this place.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: taps his combadge on a whim. :: *CO* : Hazzard to Captain...come in Captain.

MO-T`Lin says:
CMO: I second that.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Intimidate, no. I just prefer more feminine looking and acting women. I see that we differ in this.

OPS_Nash says:
::notices the rabbits::  XO:  I think it’s safe, our friends seem very happy.

CMO_Brabas says:
CTO/XO: Oh, I don’t think that it would satisfy his hunger. ::Smiles::

MO-T`Lin says:
::bends down to pet one of the rabbits::

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: OK let's get out of the broom closet. Mr. Hazzard will go first.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The CO hears a scratchy sound coming out of his COM badge.

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves over to have an aside with OPS.:: OPS: If you haven't asked the rabbits yet, ask them if they have seen the dolphin before and if they know where it might be.

CMO_Brabas says:
CTO: Good luck. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Starts trying to take apart the creature, then stops, hitting comm badge.::  *AT*: Hello?  Is that you?

OPS_Nash says:
CSO: I didn't think of that, I'll do just that.

MO-T`Lin says:
::hobbles over to the CTO:: CTO: So I hear you speak fluent Vulcan?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::walks out of the cave and continues to try to hail the CO. :: *CO* : Ensign Hazzard to Captain Ayidee, respond please.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the CTO walks out into the cavern, his signal reaches the CO.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: A mental image might be helpful as well.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Ensign?  Is that you?  Great to hear you.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::turns to the MO and grins, speaking in Vulcan:: MO: I picked up a little from a friend of my family.  He taught me a few things. Vulcan was one of them.

Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Geez, I for one have had enough of this place. It's like a twisted Disneyland.

CMO_Brabas says:
XO: Disney what?

MO-T`Lin says:
::talking in Vulcan:: CTO: Well, maybe you can tell me about it sometime.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: hoots and hollers as he hears the CO's Voice. :: XO: Sir, it’s the Captain.  *CO*: Captain, good to hear you too sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Captain! Excellent. *CO*: Worthington to Ayidee.
