Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 10906.28 : After receiving a much needed rest, the crew now returns to the planet surface and the daunting task of providing aid and relief to the 10,000 plus souls left behind by the Orion Syndicate.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  Two hospital ships are on their way.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sitting in the command chair once again, looking a bit tired but still able to function as he goes over the various progress reports form both the Dallas and the relief stations on the planet. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::In transporter room about to beam back down to the planet::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::In Transporter Room, preparing for another trip to the planet below.::

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Did you get any sleep, Tio?

Host Buddy says:
$<USS Curie> COM: Cherokee:  Cherokee, this is the hospital ship Curie.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on her way to the Bridge, she has a couple "gifts" for her CO, she is looking exhausted and she is hoping her CO won't be too upset about them.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not of any worth, Commander.  This is going to be difficult, although that goes without saying.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: In the Turbolift heading towards the Transporter Room for another trip to the planet. ::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO/CNS* : Gentlemen, as soon as the CTO and CSO are finished with the tasks at hand, I'll be sending them down to assist the both of you.  I wish I could have given you both more time to rest.  Just know I'm thankful for the efforts you've given.  Seriously grateful.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I agree.  Hopefully with the Dallas camp we should feel less overwhelmed.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Is behind his console. Working out on some schedules for the shuttles.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Understood Captain, we'll keep pushing on until the job is finished or we're relieved.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::On the ship, talking to the CTO about their assigned task::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: We should meet on the bridge to begin our scans of the system and planet.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I'm heading for Camp Gary.  Will you be at base camp?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: taps the com switch on his armrest. :: COM: Curie: Its good to hear from  you, I cannot tell you how badly your presence is needed here.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CTO: I agree. Have you rested enough?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I think Janet can handle things at the med camp, with Doctor Brabas.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she finally reached the Bridge, assumed her post.::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: Can we do everything from behind our consoles? By the way, I am nearly ready with my planning.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, I'll be down as soon as the rest of the team arrives.  Let's hope the Dallas crew had a good night, or a productive one.

Host Buddy says:
$<USS Curie> COM: Cherokee:  How many injured or wounded are there Captain?  We have no details other than the Salk and we are to get there ASAP.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Soon arrives to the Transporter Room looking as tired as ever, with the appearance of dark rings around his eyes indicating just how much sleep he has actually received over the break period.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Ready Ensign?  Or as ready as you can be?  ::Steps up onto the Transporter Pad.::

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I'll see you later then.  
TR Tech: I'm ready to beam down now, if you please.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: Couldn't get much sleep, mind has been busy. I suppose that isn't much of a problem for Vulcans, though.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: Yes... sir... :: Somewhat half hazardly steps onto the transporter pad indicating his exhaustion.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: Curie:  All told were dealing with over 10,000 civilians in dire need of aid and transport.  The Cherokee and the Dallas have been pretty much burning the midnight oil trying to get a head start on helping them, but we don't have the capabilities of a Hospital Ship.

CNS_Wells says:
<TR Tech>: CNS: Aye, Sir. ::Initializes teleport::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TR Tech: Beam us down as well when ready.

Host Buddy says:
$<USS Curie> COM: Cherokee:  What KIND of aid and treatment?

CNS_Wells says:
@::Rematerializes on the planet, near the big tents::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CTO: You are correct in that my mind would have processed any type of disruptive information much faster than yours. However, it does not mean I have had a peaceful six hours.  But let us stay focused. Lead the way to the bridge.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: Curie : Malnutrition, Neglect and basic mistreatment.  We stumbled onto an Orion Slave camp.  These people have had a lifetime of grief slumped on their shoulders.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Enters the Turbolift and waits for the CSO to enter before telling the lift to go to the bridge::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
<TR Tech> ::Transports the XO and TO to the surface.::

Host Buddy says:
$<USS Curie> COM:  Cherokee:  Can you repeat that?  ::he stands stunned at what he just heard::

CNS_Wells says:
::Checks in, finding Nurse A'marie over seeing the camp::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Arrives on the surface, bracing for the worst.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@::Rematerializes on the planet along with the XO.::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Enters the Turbolift with the CTO and takes it to the bridge::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  I've been handling it just fine, just make sure we are ready to go in a hurry should the need arise.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: Curie : You heard me.  Slaves.  Over 10,000 of them.  All worked to the bone and thin as a rail.  Men, women and children.  We're doing all we can right now but were stretched rather tight.  I don't suppose you and the Salk can get here any faster?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::on the surface waiting orders::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Let's see what we can do.  Not exactly our specialties in play, but any hands will help.

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie>: CNS: Well, I just got here a few minutes ago myself, Sir but, I hear the camp was quieter once the Dallas camp opened.  The people rested and took nourishments.  It is good we got re-supplied.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: The shuttles can bring the non breakable things, and bigger things. Look at this PADD. This is what I had in mind. But you are more the expert on operational stuff. ::Hands over his pad.::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Exits the lift and heads for the tactical station to utilize the ships sensors::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@XO: Sure thing, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is really not trying to hide the "Treeboy" plush toy and the PADD with "The Adventures Of Treeboy"  on it.::

Host Buddy says:
$<USS Curie> COM:  Cherokee:  We are still 2 hours out Captain.  We can't travel as fast as you can.  I will notify the Salk of the situation.  I will also have them relay the news to Starbase 33.  We are going to need more help than has been thought.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Walks over to the science station to work with the science sensors alongside the CTO's tactical sensors::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CNS: Where can we help most, Counselor?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Somewhat wonders around the camp inspecting the overall security.::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: What do you think?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: The Syndicate may be using a communicator similar to ours to communicate, we could try scanning for devices such as this that use a different frequency to our own.

Host Buddy says:
@::sees the person he has been looking arrive::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she tells her staff to start beaming the Twin's relief gifts and tells them to have about 5 volunteers to distribute them one each per child.::

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Oh, hello.  Well, I'd love to see the shelters go up faster.  These people should be out of the sun.  The tents are only so big.  Dehydration is our enemy here.  Shelters would help.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  About what?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: Curie:  Cherokee stands advised, Curie.  Do what we can.  We'll leave a light on for you when you get here..  Cherokee out.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CNS: I'll do what I can.  Not exactly my specialty, but I don't think Astrophysics will help us much here.  Nor will sniping.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CTO: As skeptical as I am of the possible success rate of that plan, I must commend you on your quick thinking. Let it be so.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: This PADD, and what I thought of putting in the shuttles. Are you not well? You seem a bit of track.

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Well, I'm not exactly a waiter but look at me.  ::Smiles::

Host Buddy says:
@::trying to be very casual, he walks over to the XO and waits::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Modifies the sensors to scan for communicator frequencies that are not tied into the ships systems::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  What do you mean "off track"?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Moves to assist the Engineering teams in shelter construction.::  CNS: Yes, you need one of those Bot ties.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Walks back over to the group:: XO/CNS: Well I don't see any major security problems, and that's about all I can do.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Laughs::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: Try scanning now.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@Buddy: Can I help you?

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: Off track is, not having all your senses here in the present. You seem to be somewhere else with your thought.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CTO: I will aid you by initiating a focused scan for any covert signals still coming from this planet, in case the Syndicate haven't deactivated all their communication devices.

CNS_Wells says:
@TO: Any word on who took those supplies yesterday?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Inform the Captain of the Dallas that the Hospital ships should start arriving within two hours.  Some good news would probably be most welcome to them.

Host Buddy says:
@XO:  May I have a moment of your time? ::looks very uneasy::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Konrad, this situation is off-track.  Can you blame me for my actions right now?

CNS_Wells says:
@::Opening crates from the Dallas and checking out their contents and liking the stuff he sees::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@CNS: Not really, the team had no idea, and being the only witness and in light of larger events, I believe that's a mystery that will never be solved.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@Buddy: Certainly, but I do not have long.  In here?  ::Points to an empty corner of a tent.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Yes, Sir.  ::smiles::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: Hmm. No. ::Looking to be the innocent himself.:: But with all respect madam, we have a task to complete. And that is, how to get all needed things down on the planet as fast as we can.

Host Buddy says:
@::nods::

CNS_Wells says:
@TO: I was just curious, I'm not sure it matters much.  So, good morning Ensign, Its good to see you here.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Walks over to the crates.:: CNS: So did we get anything nice this time around?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she notifies the Captain of the USS Dallas that the hospital ships are en route, should be arriving in about 2 hours.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Steps in the tent.::  Buddy: What can I help you with?

CNS_Wells says:
@TO: Well, its still the same old lousy tasting rations but, at least now we have a variety to choose from.  ::Smiles at the TO::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CTO/CSO: Gentlemen, any progress with that map you two discovered?

Host Buddy says:
@XO:  I heard something I think I wasn't supposed to hear when the Orions were leaving.  I think they have left a bomb.  One said that would be a good way to avenge himself on the Cherokee crew.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Gives order to fill up two shuttles with medicines, blankets and salt for the dehydrated. ::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
aCO: We're currently scanning the system as ordered, we have not had time to survey that map as of yet.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@CNS: Well at least we'll be able to feed more hungry people this time around.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@Buddy: Did you hear where at?

CNS_Wells says:
@TO: Yup, and that's the important thing.  Why don't you continue here and I'll tap a few more water tanks and fill some canteens?

Host Buddy says:
@::nods his head::  XO:  I didn't, but I was near their underground quarters.  After all we have gone through, we don't need this as well.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Ensign, I've just received word that the Orions may have left a bomb somewhere on site.  Turn sensors to see if this report is true or not.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CEO*: Commander, welcome.  We need a permanent Headquarters set up.  There is an existing structure just over that way, apparently used to be the Orion Headquarters.  I need a team to check it out and see if it's still usable.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  I've been getting the supplies down there as fast as possible.  We have been working double time to get things going.  We have even nearly depleted our own supplies for our limited use.  Right now, even we are running out of supplies.  So don't tell me about completing the "task at hand."  You do your job and I'll do mine.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@CNS: Sure it will give me something to do, so beef ration or chicken? :: Smiles::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*XO*: I'll get right on it.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands up immediately, walking over to where the CTO and the CSO are working.:: *XO*: Commander, what did you just say?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*XO*: Aye, Sir. I will work on that right now.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: Any idea what might be in this bomb? Something specific I can scan for?

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Gives another order to fill two other shuttles with food and water, several first aid kits.::
OPS: Well ok then.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Laughs hearing the TO's comment::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::begins running wide scans to check for anything suspicious::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CO*: I just got word from one of the survivors that the Orions may have left a bomb as a final means of "revenge".  Unfortunately, I don't have anything concrete to go on.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::gathers the team around to check out the headquarters and start to work::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*XO*: Sir, there's a strange reading coming from the underground quarters where we found the map, I can't be sure what it is though but it's a good bet that it's bad.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Gives order to launch the four shuttles one after the other.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO*: Well, isn't that just nice?  And we didn't get them anything in return.  Remind me to come up with something appropriate if we ever get our hands on them.  Get a team down to the coordinates of that reading and let me know what you find.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CTO: Get a demolitions team assembled and get down there immediately.  Understood?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CEO*: Belay my last order, we have rumors of a possible bomb, and it may be in that former Headquarters.  I'll take a Tactical team and meet you there.

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie>: TO: Good morning, Ensign Kabat.  I was hoping I'd see you again today. ::She smiles warmly at him as she arranges food packs on a tray::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*XO*: The new TO is down on the surface, it would be quicker for him to get his team there.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: Ensign., I want to know everything you can tell me about that reading, the immediate area, and anything the map might reveal about the significance of that location.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*CEO*: There's a bomb on the surface, we may need your expertise to defuse it.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@A'marie: Notices the nurse, oh hello there. ::smiles back:: It's been a relatively quiet day hasn't it?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@Buddy: Thank you for your information, we will do what we can to make things right.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CSO: I need to know what's in that bomb and predicted blast radius.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Sir, 4 shuttles coming your way. Filled with water, salt, for the dehydrated, medicines, blankets, food and several first aid kits.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Hears the nurse flirting with the poor new Ensign and wishes she'd retract her claws and let the poor kid work::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CTO: Ensign.  I want you and that demolition team down there, yesterday.  Understood?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::steps outside.::  TO: We have a threat to look into, Ensign.  A possible bomb in the former Orion HQ.  We need a Tactical team to help us see what's what.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Leaves the bridge and heads to Transporter Room 1 in the Turbolift::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::contacts her "volunteers" on the planet for an update on the toy and story distribution, she is told that all is going well. The children are loving their gifts::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*aCO*: On my way sir.

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie> TO: So far.  But that could change any time.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@*XO*/*CTO*: Is there a bomb?  I will need a tactical officer to work with to find the bomb.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Contact the Dallas and apprise them of this new wrinkle in the situation.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CEO*: We're on our way, this will be a team effort.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Notices the XO rush outside:: XO: A bomb? here? where? I guess I could take this camp's guards to investigate but I doubt we have the tools to disarm it.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*CEO/TO* I need you to meet on the surface at these coordinates. ::Transmits building location::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: The reading is coming from the underground quarters, the same place we found the map. However, I can't tell exactly what it is from here, or even estimate its lethality.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: I apologize, for being a bit abrupt. But you are correct in your statement. We are running low on our goods.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO: We'll figure it out, Chief Engineer is going with us, and we can get any tools we need from the ship.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: Hmmm, are there any other features nearby?  Something that might be providing power to it?  Dig deeper, Ensign.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Repeats the last line to the CTO over the communicator::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: Yes sir, scanning on high power now.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Receives the CTO's coordinates:: XO: Well I guess that answers my question of where, we'll get going on your mark sir. :: gathers the local security team.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Yes, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
*OPS*: One to beam down to these coordinates ::transmits coordinates::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Then let's get to it.  ::Turns towards the buildings, making best speed.::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: What do you suggest I could send in the other smaller shuttles?

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: What this about a B O M B?   Shhh, let's keep it down.  No need to start a panic.  Have everybody keep their heads or it will be chaos.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Starts to follow the XO:: CNS: Keep the camp maintained for us while we're gone sir!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she contacts the Dallas and fills them in about the possible bomb situation at the Orion Headquarters on the planet.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CNS: Good point, we'll keep it quiet.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Did you copy my sentence about the arrival of 4 shuttles?

CNS_Wells says:
@XO/TO: I don’t want to be stampeded by freaking out refugees.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*FCO*: Yes, coordinate with Counselor Wells, he's running the relief station I'm at.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::beams the CTO to the planet.::

CNS_Wells says:
@::Goes about his business leaving the bomb thing to the goon squad::

ACTION;  The Dallas begins helping with the scans to find a possible bomb.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*XO*: Aye-aye, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  I'm sorry, send what in shuttles?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Lieutenant, I want shuttlecraft standing by to provide Evac and medical assistance to the bomb crews.  Lets get hopping, last thing I want is to have to start picking pieces of the planet out of the screen door.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: 4 shuttles are on there way to you. Filled with water, salt, for the dehydrated, medicines, blankets, food and several first aid kits.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::uses his Tricorder to see there is a bomb near by::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Gets to the buildings and start reviewing who's on hand.::  all: Are we ready to take a closer look?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*CTO*: Also, Ensign, when this is over, I want to speak with you in my Ready Room. When this is over.  Understood?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@XO: Well it's this or nothing sir, :: feels slightly winded from the brisk run over.::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Materializes on the planet and waits for the team to arrive::
*aCO*: Understood

CNS_Wells says:
@*FCO*: Have it all stored in the supply area at the base camp.  I'm not there, and I guess Mr. Ayidee is busy but, someone should be around to unload you.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: I am working on filling the smaller shuttles as well on this moment. I have found some old style brancards here. Something you could use?

Host Buddy says:
@::hopes he has done the right thing, but he has been here so long, he can't stand the idea of anyone else dying::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: Aye-aye sir. There is not much left here sir. But I do my best to find things. Anything you need specific?

CNS_Wells says:
@*FCO*: If you can eat it, wash with it or be entertained by it we can use it.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: walks back to the command chair, skipping through some visual reports from the various teams, and then comes across several pictures of children, happy children, with dolls.  Very, peculiar and oddly familiar dolls. ::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CEO*: We're outside the building, are you nearby?  We could use your Engineering skills.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: Hehe, yes sir. Soap sir.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Scans for anything else strange with his Tricorder before meeting the team::

CNS_Wells says:
@::Carrying a heavy water tank to it stand::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a good long look at the  image.  Slowly covering his face with his hand.  :: OPS: Oh Commander.  A word with you if I may?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Heads to the XO’s Location::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Begins to nervously sweat from all of the waiting. ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CNS*:  I forgot to inform you that I have volunteers down there, handing out toys and a PADD with stories to the children,  I've been getting word that the children are loving their gifts.

CNS_Wells says:
@*FCO*: Soap is a good thing, especially when you don’t have any, Mr. Zdunovski.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::dreading this moment::  aCO:  Yes, Sir, what's on your mind?

CNS_Wells says:
@*OPS*:  You are an angel of mercy, Mrs. Nash.  We thank you, greatly.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Looks into the system if there is soap. Eventually disincentive soap. Even a box of Vodka is going to be picked up at his private room. Vodka can be used an disinfectant, for body and soul.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CEO*: We're entering the building, we'll find it and disarm it.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@XO: We're ready to enter the building and find it on your command sir.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CTO/ TO: Let's get to it then.  Slow and steady, and light footed as possible.  ::Turns and enters.::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
Self: Well, I have Vodka enough.  I have not been drinking to much lately.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Tapping the tank, his hand slips and he is drenched with water, but just enough to get wet, the rest was saved::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Follows the XO in:: XO: Sir, I should go first. The ship can't lose its XO here.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: points to the image and then looks up to her. :: OPS: I'm assuming that you would be the hand behind this little...morale booster? :: smiles sweetly at her ::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Launches two smaller shuttles. ::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Tricorder begins to give strange readings. ::  XO: Sir I'm getting off readings here, deeper into the unexplored part of the base.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CTO: I don't plan on getting lost, but feel free to take the point.

CNS_Wells says:
@Self:  Oh bother.  Its going to be another one of those kind of days is it?  ::looking upward at nothing in particular::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Stops and looks at his Tricorder as the CTO passes.::  TO: Good work, at least we know where we're going.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles:: aCO:  Me, no.   I was against this.  I tried to change their minds, they wouldn't budge, in fact, they were very insistent.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@TO: I see them too, lets keep moving. ::heads down the corridor towards the readings::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: Anything new to report, Ensign?  Remember my motto.  Surprises are about as welcome as Ducks.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: Sir, two smaller shuttles are launched with normal soap, disincentive soap, 20 old style brancards, more water and a box of 12 bottles of my private vodka. That stuff can be used for disinfecting. And it’s good for the soul as well.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::XO: I have a Tricorder reading ::points below the quarters that were unexplored::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Who?  Who put you up to this?  I'll have their keisters in my Ready Room!  Tell me!

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Continues to walk down the corridor and receives a new reading :: XO/CTO the… :: Stops for a moment.:: All: exactly what the CEO just told us, it's below us. :: begins search around the room.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CEO/ CTO/ TO: Any sign on how we can get down to it?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CEO: We all see them, check for any hidden passages. You know, bookcases that look like they've been moved and stuff?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  They in question are Liam and Kiandra. You can tell them yourself that the toys and such wasn't a good idea.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@XO: Maybe we could beam in if the ships sensors can scan the room?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: feels an all to familiar sinking feeling in his stomach. :: OPS: The twins?  They ...you mean?

CNS_Wells says:
@::Ears perk up:: *FCO*: Hey, Konrad, I have an idea.  Why don't you hand deliver that case of vodka to the med camp and then hand deliver one bottle to me, here at Camp 2.  I could use a little medicine myself.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Fiddles around with his Tricorder once again and receives a different reading.:: XO/CTO: I got something here, 30 meters down that way.. ::points:: It's on the floor.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: Awww feldercarb.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Starts to look about the room for signs of things out of place.::  CTO: If needed, but let's take a precaution first, if we need to.  Beam in a Tricorder first.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: Nothing to report, sir. The scans have turned out no new information, unless you wish to know the mass of the planet we are facing.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Let's see if that's it.  ::Moves to follow the TO.::

CNS_Wells says:
@FCO*: As your counselor I'm recommending you take a break, come see me.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Yes, it was their idea.  They wanted to contribute to the relief effort.   So please, don't disappoint them. They are so happy right now.  They just wanted to help out, "Uncle Mark".

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*:: Shuttles are on there way to the med camp. And I wished I could hand you a bottle over. But I am at the bridge. Coordinating things.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@XO/CTO/TO: Now I have experience with bombs.  As you get closer try to move slow in that undiscovered quarter that we need to enter, carefully ::uses his Tricorder slowly::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: Whoever hid this explosive device obviously did not intend for it to be found before it reached maturity.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Moves to view what the TO and XO are looking at::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: finds the position the Tricorder indicated:: XO/CTO: It seems to be a very primitive metal trap door of some kind...

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: You play dirty pool, Kyleigh.  You really do.  Back to your post.  I'll let this one slide.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@TO: Can we get in?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: How so, Ensign?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Oh yeah, they wanted me to give you a copy of the story and this toy.  ::hands them to him::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Faces the CEO:: CEO: I think you might want to check, just in case it might be rigged. I don't want to open it.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@TO: Check it's not booby trapped first, of course.

CNS_Wells says:
@*FCO*: Of, I thought you were on the fly.  Too bad, I guess I'll have to toast to your health with water then, my friend.  I got work to do.  I'll see you later.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Chokes back a repetition of the same advice, waiting to see how they solve this possible solution before jumping in.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: Lets try to look not at the bomb, but around it.  Anything out of the ordinary, planetary structure, geographic characteristics.  Anything.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
*CNS*: Sorry, but... I have some left in my room. I guess I will spent it at the first option to all my friends here. Over and out.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Scans the door with the Tricorder for anything that may be explosive or toxic. Pretty much anything that could be harmful::

CNS_Wells says:
@::Finishes drying himself as best he can with a towel and goes to get another tank::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Raises his eyebrows at a new reading:: aCO: Strange you should say that, sir. Around the bomb. Well, sensors have just picked up another ion storm nearby, if that counts.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Oh yeah, one more thing, Liam and Kiandra used the Replicator by themselves to makes this toy.  Don't know how they did, but they did.  They are too smart for their own good.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@:: Looks at the TO and nods at him:: TO: Here is a booby trap, Try not to move ::defuses it::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: I will keep my eye on it, should it prove hazardous. However, it is not heading our way at the moment.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Waits for the large shuttles to come back.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@All: I sincerely doubt that was the main bomb.  Who wants to go in first?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the doll in his hand and sighs.  That dang tree was going to be the death of him one day::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@TO: You can go first, always the lower rank takes the possible sacrifice.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@All: One step at a time.  Open the door, let's take a look first.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Smiles at CTO:: CTO: But of course... :: Slowly opens the door to take a look inside.::

Host Buddy says:
%<USS Dallas> COM: Cherokee:  Cherokee, just wanted to let you know that my people have stated what a help it is to have toys and books for the children.  Good thinking!  Dallas out.

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie>: CNS: You look like you could use a mood elevator.  ::Placing food trays in a cart::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she returns to her post.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::uses his Tricorder to find more booby traps::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO: How much space to move in down their, Ensign?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles and laughs at what the Dallas transmitted::

CNS_Wells says:
@A'marie: Yeah?  What would you prescribe nurse?  ::Looks at her, amused by the devil look in her eye::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@ XO:  Well it isn't too bad, but the less arm waving the better. :: Looks further in and begins scanning. ::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@TO: Wait!!! Don't move the door yet!!!

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks up  at the ceiling of the bridge, shaking his head as the legend of Treeboy now grows beyond the Cherokee. ::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Guides the four large shuttles into the Shuttlebay.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@XO: Wait.... strike that, :: Looks further in.:: It's really big down here, lots of doors and such.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Sir, the Dallas just reported that the children are ecstatic about their gifts.

ACTION:  A woman walks into the camp escorted by her husband.  She is in labor.  She does not look healthy.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@XO: Do you think it's safe to join him?

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie>: CNS: I'll be right back.  ::Goes to retrieve something out of her personal things::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@All: If I had to guess it's about as big as up here, possibly a second floor?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Count your lucky stars I love you, right now. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@TO: Can you get a fix on the bomb?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CTO: Patience, no need to rush things here.  Let it go slowly.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::smiles at the aCO::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Begins scanning with Tricorder on the B2 floor:: All: It would be helpful if somebody joined me down here.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CEO: Your our bomb expert, better join the guy.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Sees the pregnant female wander in to the food tent and wonders why she wasn't directed to the med camp::  A'marie: Nurse I need you.  ::Rushes to woman::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Watches the away team's progress at the same time as monitoring the ion storm::

ACTION:  As the away team move further into the complex, the signal begins to grow stronger.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::joins the TO in his search:: TO: Look, the signal begin to grow stronger.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
::Guides the two smaller shuttles back into the Shuttlebay.:: OPS: All shuttles are back. I do not know what to send now. Do you have a suggestion?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Follows the direction of the signal :: CEO: I think everybody else should get down here, I'll keep on progressing.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CSO: Status report on the ground crew?

CNS_Wells says:
@<A'marie>:: Puts the "something” in her pocket and goes to aid the CNS and expectant mother::  Woman: Just relax Dear.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  I have no idea at the moment.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@::TO: No more booby traps here, let's tell the rest to join us.

CNS_Wells says:
@::With nurse, helps the woman to lie on a table::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Joins the TO and CEO in the secret room::

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
OPS: That makes then two. We are through all the things we could send.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO:  Exactly.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: The team are getting closer and closer to the source of the signal.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Looks around:: All: So I guess the question now is how carefully can we be without tempting the fate of time?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@::Drops down with the others.::  All: Let's find it and get back to the important work.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@:: Knowing we need lights, touches a button to power on the systems::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
aCO: Wait, the signal on the bomb has just amplified. It's getting stronger and stronger!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Sir, Hate to be the bearer of more bad news but the Cherokee is out of supplies to give, we are empty.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO* Commander, be advised, the bombs signal appears to be getting stronger the closer you approach it.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@*CO*: Understood, we'll be careful.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@XO: It may have a proximity sensor, getting too close could set it off.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@All: tick tock tick tock everybody... Orders?

CNS_Wells says:
@A'marie: Get the med stuff we have here start and infusion drip of saline, opened at 60% rate per hour.  ::Begins to help the woman get comfortable::  Woman: Just relax.  ::Uses medical Tricorder to make initial diagnosis::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Freck.   Understood.  Inform the Dallas that we are tapped out.  We'll still provide support to their way stations as much as we can.  We only have to hold out till the Curie and the Salk get here.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: constantly checks the time as a distraction. ::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@All: We find a way in.  Without setting off the bomb.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
aCO:  Yes, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
aCO: Neither do I find any extra supplies. Sorry about that sir.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CTO: How good are you at computer hacking?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@XO: We could just hope it's on a timer and rush in there.  I've picked up a few tricks in my lifetimes.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Lieutenant.  You've got nothing to be sorry for.  No one on this crew does.  Pass the word to everyone, I could NOT be more proud of the effort everyone has put out on this.
ALL: That goes for everyone.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@CTO: Then head back up, see if you can find control for the bomb.  Shut it off by remote.  We'll continue down here.

CNS_Wells says:
@A'marie: She's in full labor.  This isn't good. The baby is premature, due to malnutrition and condition here.  We could try a C-section but, I dunno.  This is not good.

FCO_LtJg_Zdunowski says:
aCO: I felt sorry for the people down on the planet. Not so sorry for us. But yes, you are right.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@XO: Well I suggest we at least get walking, we can think of ideas on the way there. This place is pretty big after all.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@XO: Will do.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Dallas:  Be aware that the Cherokee can no longer issue more supplies as we are empty here.  We can still provide support to the way stations until the Curie and Salk arrive.  Again, our supplies are completely depleted.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Heads back out of the secret room and begins scanning for anything that looks like a computer terminal::

CNS_Wells says:
@A'marie: We have no choice, prepare for surgery.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
@TO/ CEO: See any options for moving forward?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
@:: Continues into the complex following the Tricorder’s direction:: XO: Well you have to pick up and move your feet sir! :: slightly chuckles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
@XO: Aye

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sits back down in the command chair, feeling every bit as weary as he appears to be. ::
