Ship's Log, Stardate 11509.20, Tio Ayidee recording. The facility research is starting, but we need to move it forward quickly.  We need to learn just who it is we are dealing with.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SO_Expendable says:
::still struggling with the complex symbols::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::With others in the Cryogenic Storage Station.::  
All: We should move out and continue the search, let the Engineers investigate the equipment, as the Counselor says they may have left a database behind.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: We haven't found anything resembling turbo-lifts yet

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  Good idea. I'm curious about who these being are.  How they lived and went about their way.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Standing with the others::  CO: Can I have your permission to go and try to find the way to the other sections of this station?  If we can get the translator working and I can find some kind of log book, we'd know more about what happened here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: You have permission, to the point of being an order.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Thanks.  ::Starts to travel along the wall to the left of where they are::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO/CNS: I'll go the other way and meet you on the other side.

SO_Expendable says:
Self: That should be a noun...  ::the tricorder makes a negation beep:: Darn...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Okay, good luck.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts to follow the wall to the right of where they are.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Have some of your crews head the other way, deeper inside.  And neither of you should go alone.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Walking as fast as one can in an EVA suit::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Motions for one of the TOs to follow him and another to follow the CNS::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<TO_Morrow> ::Takes another team and heads deeper inside the station.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Notices a TO has caught up to him, thinking he'll be the CNS's bodyguard::  TO: Fine but, try to keep up.  ::Not happy to have an escort but, knows it's not the TO's fault he's here::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<TO Tagalong> CNS: Aye, Sir.

SO_Expendable says:
All: Another progress report... I am quite sure the labels on the pods are names. So basically... identification labels.. ::continues tapping on his tricorder::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: See if you can make out a title, like doctor, boss, etc.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Or rank, maybe... I will work on that , sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Finds a door, after traveling about 500meters.  There's an all too familiar airlock door standing between him and what's on the other side::  Tagalong: Let's see if we can get this door open.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<TO_Dover> ::catches up with the CTO

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
TO: Keeps your eyes pealed for anything that looks like a door, or hatch.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<TO_Dover> CTO: Aye sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<TO Tagalong>: CNS: Aye, Sir.  ::Helps the CNS turn the hatchway wheel to the airlock door::

ACTION: The door latch opens with very little trouble.

SO_Expendable says:
Self: Little vowels, let's see which type of symbol begins a name..

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: Okay, don't rush in.  ::Opens the door and looks inside, using the exterior lights of his EVA suit::

ACTION: Inside the door several consoles can be seen.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Steps into the room and begins to look around.  He sees several consoles::  TO Tagalong: Be careful and let's not touch anything.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Spots what appears to be a ladder built into the wall:: TO: there's the ticket! Let's see what's below.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<TO Tagalong>: CNS: Aye, Sir.  ::Follows the CNS into the room::

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Sir, the computer analysis confirms that the identification tags contains only names, no title, no rank or whatsoever.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking along near the engineers, watching as they attempt to ascertain the condition of the station.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Uses a tricorder to detect if there is any energy stored inside the consoles power supply systems::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Are any of the names more... um... noble sounding?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*: Sir, I've found a sort of control room sticking out from the wall.  I'm checking it out now.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Hard to tell... some of them are almost unpronounceable.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: Understood, do you need any technical assistance?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts to climb down the ladder::

ACTION: Looking down the ladder shaft the flor looks entirely different than the one above.  It is more of a store room with numerous shelves piled with rapidly degrading supplies.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Tricorder says there's no power::  *CO*: Sir, I think this is some kind of computer room.  I bet if we got it going it could tell us all sorts of things.  You might want to send me an engineer or something.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: One will be with you shortly.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*: Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO: Follow the Counselor's team, he found a computer room, we need to see if we can get information from them.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks around at what must be the supply room for the population above, noting that nothing looks to be in very good condition. 
Self: If and when we wake them up they're gonna be disappointed in their dinner arrangements.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
TO Tagalong: If we can get this thing running, we'll get some answers.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Runs his tricorder to try and identify anything::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<TO Tagalong>: CNS: Yes, if our science officer can decipher this race's language.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CO: Yes Sir, on my way.  ::Follows the CNS's team to his location.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
TO_Tagalong: It's being done by the Universal Translator.  It's just a matter of time and these guys in the eggs aren't going anywhere.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
TO: This looks like everything they were going to need to start their lives over again. Obviously there storage techniques weren't as advanced as their cryo-chambers.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> ::Arrives at CNS location and steps inside.::  CNS: Here to help Sir.  Wow, looks like you found more stuff.  Hopefully we can make it work.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: We need a power source.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<TO_Dover> CTO: No sir. I'm finding signs of textiles, storage containers, paperwork... perhaps it was some sort of records storage area.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> ::Steps forward and scans the equipment.::  CNS: Hmm, most of this stuff is intact...I could set up a power source pretty easily I think.  I take that request as permission to set it up?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
TO: That's possible, be extremely careful with whatever you try to handle. ::Starts to pick up a small box that immediately dissolves into a pile of dust.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: Yeah, go for it.  How long will it take?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CNS: Twenty minutes, maybe a bit more?  Should be fairly quick.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: Great, get started.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
TO: Can you find anything at all in here that's even remotely intact?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*: Sir, we're attempting to get this equipment up and running.  The EO says it's doable and should be ready in twenty minutes or so.  Will the Universal Translator be finished by then?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> ::Starts setting up an interface to power the computers.::  CNS: Looks like this thing had priority power feed, but only some of the units.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<TO_Dover> CTO: Depending on your definition of 'intact' sir. As different patterns of dust it is all perfectly intact.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: One minute, I'll see.
SO: How is the translation going?  The Counselor may have found some computer units that might have the information we are looking for.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: We're definitely interested in those with priority feeds.  Make them your priority.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CNS: Yes sir.  They seem to be the smaller units though, not sure if that means less processing or less memory?  We'll figure it out soon enough.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: Captain, what seemed to be a quick process has slowed down considerable. At least we know now the names of the people in the pods... ::shakes his head::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CTO*: Hey, gagh breath.  I found some pretty important looking computers.  What'd you find?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: What if you had a bigger sample?

SO_Expendable says:
CO: that would be helpful, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: The Translation is coming, but not perfect yet.  Larger sample would help a great deal.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CNS*: What appears to be the supplies that they would need to start over again. However, it has all turned to dust over the eons.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears the Captain and looks around for any reading material to be found:: *CO*: Understood.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: Some sort of report or official document...

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
TO: Is there no equipment here?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
<TO_Dover> CTO: None that I have been able to locate sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CTO*: Gee, that's too bad.  What will these people eat once we free them?  They're bound to be hungry after twelve billion years.  You can't even go twelve hours.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Or a computer system.  Why don't you take your work to the Counselor's location.  There is a great deal to be done and it seems a good place to start.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CNS: I have the basic setup figured out, now just need a power pack.  I'll contact some of the engineers to bring a portable generator.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CNS*: First off...Who said we were going to free them? Second, I'd watch my tone if I were you. It's been over eleven hours since my last meal.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: A wise advice, sir. I will proceed there immediately... ::grabs his tricorder and PADD and heads to CNS' location::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: Great.  It will be interesting to see what these computers know.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> *Engineering*: We need a portable generator here when you guys get a chance.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CTO*: We should have packed a lunch.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Still looking around for anything with their language on it::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CNS*: Thank you mister 20/20 hindsight.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CTO*: You're welcome.  ::Smiles:
SO_Expendable says:
::feels like Champollion looking for a Rosetta stone::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: What do you think we are looking at, a 2nd chance or a missed opportunity?  These beings have been here a very long time.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Maybe a little of both.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks back over toward the ladder to see if it goes any further::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: There's got to be an owner manual or something for this equipment, something with an example of their language...

SO_Expendable says:
::Arrives to CNS' location:: CNS: Counsellor, the Captain told me you have found a large source of documentation that could be useful to finish the translation process...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: Welcome, so far just these computers we're trying to make operational.  I'm still looking for any documents with their language.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: Let me see if I can help you to find the right sequence to make them work.. If they are still operable.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: It's all yours.  I only find them. I don't fix them.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: ::smiles:: I am a science officer not a computer technician...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: Then let's go get a cup of coffee until the engineers are done.  ::Smiles because he's kidding.  You can't drink coffee in an EVA suit.
