XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
::hands Lt Pierce a transponder patch for her uniform, along with her standard gear::  Pierce:  Be sure to grab some transporter pattern enhancers from the locker, just in case

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::walking into the transporter room, trying to quickly catch Commander Wolfe before his departure::  XO:  Commander...

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::walks into the transporter room, looking decidedly displeased::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
::walks around to the locker and pulls out a Type II phaser, checks the charge::  CIV:  Yes Lt?  ::bends over and grabs a tricorder and belt for it::

Sulkar says:
::Enters the Transporter room with the "altered" CMO::  Thinks she is quite attractive as a Romulan.::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Holsters her phaser and pins the patch on her uniform:: XO: Aye sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Hangs from a support brace getting a good angle on a ODN relay circuit that has been annoying him in Engineering::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::enters the bridge from the Ready Room and relieves the officer on watch.  He takes his seat still running things through his mind::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
XO:  We're having trouble being able to maintain a positive signal lock below the surface, you may want to... ::notices Pierce reaching for pattern enhancers::  ...oh, well, that out of the way...

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
::once the phaser is holstered, clips the tricorder into place, after having checked its charge::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::she's got the shoulder pads from hell::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
CIV:  Thanks for the tip, though...::notices the CMO and Sulkar enter....picks up a couple of transponders and walks toward the two of them::

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::monitors engines, waiting for any commands::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Picks up the pattern enhancers then grabs a tricorder::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
Sulkar: I believe I've got everything you recommended. ::gestures to the weaponry:: I'd be happier with a med kit, though.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Try and take note of what they have in terms of food and power... I'm having trouble figuring out how they've managed to survive with the supplies aboard a ship such as the Armstrong.  A few years is believable, but two centuries?  There might be some deception in all of this.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
CMO/Sulkar:  Put these on, in a discreet location, if possible.  It should help keep a transporter lock, due to the interference...

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
::hands them the transporter patches::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::tucks a transporter patch in a discreet spot::

Sulkar says:
CMO: As would I, however, replicating Romulan medical equipment and medicines will take too long.  And we cannot afford to have anything from Earth with us when we meet my people.

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
XO: Looks like we're all set.  ::Stands up straight after checking all of her equipment::

Sulkar says:
::Takes the patch and places it inside his tunic.::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
::turns his attention back to the CIV::  Lt:  Of course....::steps up onto the transporter PADD next to Pierce and looks over at Transporter Chief Evans::  Evans:  We are ready for beam down....energize....

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::glances over at Sulkar, wishing for not the first time that she was telepathic::

Host Brett says:
Action: The XO's team is transported to the specified coordinates to meet the Earth delegation.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
All:  Good luck...

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::exits the transporter room and rides a turbolift up to the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Sees the new guy at the Engine Console and calls out from his perch on the ceiling upside down::  Taylor: Hey, are you my new assistant?

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Blinks a few times as her eyes adjust to the new surroundings::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
*AT Members*  Bridge to all away team members.  Keep a comm channel open with the Claymore so we can monitor each of you.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
Sulkar: Shall we, then?

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::appears, looks around and draws his tricorder::  *CO*  Understood, Captain.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::looks up in surprise, feeling rather foolish for not introducing himself::

Sulkar says:
::Steps up onto the pad and brushes off his immaculate tunic.::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::is already on the pad, tapping her foot and missing her long hair::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::arrives on the bridge, making her way over to the seat on the Captain's left::  CO:  Sir, Commander Wolfe's team has beamed down to the surface.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Hello, Ensign Taylor reporting for duty, sir.

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
*CO*: Will do sir.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Good.  I am assuming they left with transponders attached to them?

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: First thing, my name's Caleb.  Don't call me sir, that's for the Bridge crew.  Let me finish up ... up here and we'll get introductions done properly.

Host Brett says:
@INFO:  The XO and his team are in a large cavern.  Iridescent moss covers patches of wall, providing light.  Several cave mouths open into this area, all are at least three meters above the floor.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
*XO/TO*  Good luck.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
::wondering if we're likely to do the AT thing from here::

Sulkar says:
Action: The CMO and Sulkar are beamed away to their coordinates.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::pulls out the small utility flash light and looks around, sweeping his tricorder around on a full scan::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::nods head::  CO:  Indeed.  Commander Wolfe's team is also taking along some pattern enhancers, just in case we can't cut through the gravimetric interference.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Ok, Caleb.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  Pierce:  Do you need a hand setting up those enhancers?

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::glances around, not entirely comfortable with this::

Sulkar says:
#::Appears and looks around::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  That was a good move.  ::continues to thinks, it showing on his face::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Closes the console, curls up and grabs the lip of the jeffries tube hatch and hauls himself up::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Kneels and fumbles one into place:: XO: I've got it under control for the most part sir.

Host Brett says:
@Action:  A voice echoes through the cavern:  "Identify yourselves or we will fire!"  The voice is high pitched, nervous sounding.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: So, where to? I've misplaced my scanner.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::closes the tricorder and shutdown the flashlight, about to bend over and help when he hears the voice, stands and looks around again::  Aloud:  I am Commander Maximillian Wolfe, Executive Officer, USS Claymore.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Climbs out of the Jeffries Tube on the other side of the room, slings his jacket over his shoulder and approaches Taylor from behind::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Notices the tone of the voice and continues setting up the last enhancer while the XO takes care of the talking::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: So how long have you been aboard?

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@ ::motions for Pierce to stand::  This is Lieutenant Evelyn Pierce, Tactical Officer....

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  It would appear that our sensors can't cut through the interference with enough resolution to map out the tunnel system.  In regards to your early inquiry, I'd considered possibly forcing some cave-ins to separate the two camps if need be... but we simply lack the needed information to make it happen.

Host Brett says:
#Action: As the CMO and Sulkar get their bearings, five Romulans emerge from a small tunnel in their cave and stop several meters away.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::turns to shake CEO's hand::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  Aloud:  We are from the United Federation of Planets, Earth

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Not every long.

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Sets the last leg into place and stands, peering into the darkness::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Would you keep an eye on each team member’s transporter lock and open a comm to the teams so we can listen.

Sulkar says:
#CMO: I believe these are our escorts.  ::Walks slowly toward them, hands held out, empty.::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::tilts head to one side to examine the new arrivals::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: Well, its home now.  So tell me, what are you good at?

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::follows suit and keeps her hands in full view::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Well, I am hoping we will be able to get all of that information...

Host Brett says:
@<Voice>  XO: Very well.  Keep your hands where we can see 'em.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::thinks to himself::

Host Brett says:
@Action: A rope slithers down the cave wall from one of the cave mouths.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::taps on her console, then listens to the familiar communications channel opening sound on the overhead speakers as various voices are heard from the surface::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::holds his hands open, palms facing out::

Host Brett says:
@<Voice> XO: Climb up, and no funny stuff.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Anything that needs fixing, just head me in the right direction and I'll put my blood, sweat and tears in it.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::looks over at Pierce, then at the rope::  Lt:  After you, Lieutenant....

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::watches Sulkar carefully::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Looks up at the rope and shrugs, then begins her climb::

Sulkar says:
#::Speaks with the Romulans briefly::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::follows Pierce up the rope::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: I see, a jack of all trades.  So how are you at tractor beams?

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::doesn't speak Romulan::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Commander Wolfe's team is currently on the channel...  Mission Ops is listening to communications activity from the Doctor's team and will inform us of any important developments.  Transporter Room 3 reports problems keeping a lock on the teams, but we are still able to track them.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Well, I hope rather good, haha.

Sulkar says:
#::After speaking, watches the five move apart to allow himself and the CMO through.  Motions to her to follow and begins walking into the tunnel, preceded by two Romulans.::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::follows quietly, which is somewhat out of character::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: Well, I got orders that we may have to haul that hunk of junk out of there, out of here very fast... think you could expand our emitter capabilities to go faster than 2/3s impulse?

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::finishes the climb, looking around with Pierce at the opening of the cave::

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: I'll see what I can do.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::nods to the CIV:: CIV:  I see.  *Security*  Bridge to Security.  Have two security teams on standby should we need to send them to retrieve our officers.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: What's going on?

Host Miller says:
@Info: At the top of the rope, the AT is met by a young man in his late teens.  He wears rags and an old Earth military uniform.  His teeth are crooked and his eyes are misaligned.  he holds an old laser pistol, and a rock covered in glowing moss for light.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: Consider it a trial by fire.  ::Smirks:: I'll be on the bridge if you need me.  These are your staff now as much as they are mine, use them. 

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Pulls herself out, and looks at the man they encounter::

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: Thank you. ::thinks to himself, lets hope you get this right.::

Sulkar says:
#::Turns and looks at the guards following them and then puts his finger to his lips, motioning her to silence.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: I have a good feeling about you, you'll do good.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  The computer is attempting to map out the paths of the away teams in relation to the probe we sent down earlier.  While crude, it should hopefully give us a rough idea of the layout down there in case we need to go in and chase them down.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::grins:: CEO: Thanks for the confidence.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
<Security>  *CO*:  Aye sir.  I will put two teams on standby.  Security out.

Host Miller says:
@XO: I am Calvin Miller.  Lieutenant, Junior grade.  I have been ordered to take you directly to Captain Yamamoto.

Host Miller says:
<have>

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  Miller:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  Lead the way.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  That is better than nothing at all.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Taylor: Do good, and it will stay there. 

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Smiles and heads to the Bridge via Jeffries tubes::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::lapses again into silence::

Host Miller says:
@XO: No, you lead the way.  ::Motions them to precede him down the tunnel.::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::raises an eyebrow and heads off in the appointed direction::

Sulkar says:
#::Satisfied that the CMO has realized she should not speak in anything but old Romulan, he continues to follow the guards through the darkened tunnel::

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: pulls up data on emitter capabilities::

Host Miller says:
@::Watches the AT closely then falls in behind them::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Frowns, "Figures..." and begins leading the way::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::realizes this is going to be a long day::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::keeps an eye out for anything out of the ordinary::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Pops up in the middle of the Bridge and looks around before moving to his console::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Wolfe and Pierce appear to be doing a lot of walking...

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::turns to see Lt. Cmdr Tyfair arrive::  CEO:  Hello Mr. Tyfair.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Randolph: Hiya Cappy.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Can we tell if anyone is around them.

Host Miller says:
@INFO: As the Xo and his team are led deeper into the planet, they see more and more humans, all dressed in rags and old uniform bits, manning barricades and armed mostly with spears, rocks, knives and a few laser weapons.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::falls instep with Pierce, walking next to her and lowers his voice to a whisper::  TO:  Pick up anything on your readings?

Host Miller says:
@INFO: Some humans have missing limbs, some are horribly maimed and some have old, festering wounds.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  I was wondering Mr. Tyfair...do you ever use the turbolifts?

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Randolph: If I'm injured, yes

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::shakes head::  CO:  Sporadic lifesigns in the area... but at this resolution, I couldn't tell the difference between human or horta.  Well, one's silicon and the other is- you know what I mean.  The open channel suggests at least one to three people, judging from the sounds.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  Well, I hope you never get stuck in one of those tubes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Looks down:: Randolph: Do you think I'm getting fat or something?

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::continues research on towing the ship::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CEO:  Crawling through those tubes on a regular basis would keep anyone in shape...

Sulkar says:
#INFO: Sulkar and the CMO are led into another cavern, and the lead guard speaks to Sulkar briefly before leaving.  The other four remain, at a discreet distance.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Well, we will have to rely on those communications then.

Sulkar says:
#::Steps over to the CMO::  CMO: This is not good.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: What's happened? ::keeping her voice quiet::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CEO:  ...unless you cheat and hover around on an antigrav unit behind our backs.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  No Lt. Cmdr.  Should we, I don't know, make a sudden sharp turn and you gets stuck somewhere...what are we to do

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Tomiaz: Uhm... no.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::chuckles, thinking of various answers to that::

Sulkar says:
#CMO: It appears that you and I will have to prove to them our loyalty to the Romulan Empire.

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Answers swiftly before Miller gets too suspicious:: XO: In a nutshell sir, they hate the Romulans but they're glad to see us though they are very curious.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::nods, figured as much::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Randolph: Its a Jeffries tube... plenty spacious

Host Miller says:
@Action: The XO'

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: And just how do we do that?

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  I can see your point but on a starship...anything can happen

Host Miller says:
@Action: The XO’s team finally reaches a small cavern.  It is well lit by moss and a number of humans are inside it.  On the floor is a crude map of the cave complex with small rocks and sticks denoting objects like barricades and checkpoints.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::realization hits her:: Sulkar: This is going to involve blood somehow, isn't it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Randolph: So the turbolifts can malfunction and you could fall 18 decks ... just because anything can happen doesn't mean I should be afraid of "what ifs"

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  :;looks around::

Sulkar says:
#::Nods grimly::  CMO: Most likely.

Host Miller says:
@Yamamoto: Captain, the ship's reconnaissance element.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::trying to remember his old Earth history, especially the rank designations for the old Earth Starfleet....""

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::looks to whom Miller speaks::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  I didn't say you should be afraid Mr. Tyfair...just aware.

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Stops and waits for a hello from anyone::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: And how are we going to do that?

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Randolph: I'm aware... no need to worry.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CEO:  well I will do my best.  CIV:  Any change in the AT's Lt.

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: ::Smiles warmly and advances, hand out in greeting::  Ahh!  Welcome to Earth colony Gamma-Delta.  Thank you for coming.

Sulkar says:
#CMO: I am not sure yet.  For now, we wait.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::formulates a few possible towing methods::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Sir, I believe the Commander is aware of the risk... just as you are aware of the fact that the bulkhead above you could easily give way in various situations, making you... stuck, for lack of a better word.  ::coughs::  It would appear that Wolfe's team is meeting up with the leader of the human camp at the present moment.

EO_Ens_Taylor says:
::thinks to himself :not sure that these will work, but maybe.::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::shakes his hand::  CO:  Captain Yamamoto, I am Commander Maximillian Wolfe, ship's executive officer, USS Claymore - United Federation of Planets Starfleet.  This is Lieutenant Evelyn Pierce....

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: Hmmm, your organizations are unfamiliar to me, but you are human so it does not matter.  Tell me: How goes the war?

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::nods, not entirely happy about this development::

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Nods at Yamamoto and surveys the room cautiously::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::smiles for a moment, then the smile disappears::  Yamamoto:  Do you have any idea how long you and your crew have been marooned here?

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Ignores the fact that Yamamoto thinks she's human::

Sulkar says:
#Action: The lead guard returns with another guard and two sticks, each two meters in length.  One end is a 'Y' shape, the other ends in a sharp blade.

Host Yamamoto says:
@::Takes a second look at Pierce and his eyes widen slightly, but he does not lose his smile::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::slides out of her chair, walking over to the Science Station and pulling up the recent scans of the Armstrong, trying to figure out what sort of supplies the ship had aboard, and figuring out what major components may have been taken with the crew to the surface.::

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: For several generations.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::arches an eyebrow at this new development, but tries to keep her reaction to a minimum::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::does some quick mental math...sounds about right::

Sulkar says:
#Action: The guard advances on Sulkar and the CMO and hands each of them one of the weapons.  He speaks briefly to Sulkar and then moves off to talk to his men.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::accepts the weapon::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::glances over at Sulkar as if to say "Now what?"::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  This is odd...

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  What Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  CO:  And you are the descendant, then, of the Armstrong's original Captain?

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: Yes, I am Captain Gilgamesh Yamamoto.  Grandson of the first Captain.

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: Please sir, do not tease us, how goes the war?  ::Sounds eager, and several other humans nearby lean in to hear the news.::

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::walks back from the science station::  CO:  Sensors show that no major components were removed from the Armstrong, suggesting that the humans didn't take much with them.  No fusion reactors for power, anything.  Isn't it odd that they've been able to survive for centuries given their technological limitations?

TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Reads great joy and relief emanating from Yamamoto, but nothing to suggest suspicion towards either her or the Commander::

Sulkar says:
#CMO: ::Whispers:: As I feared, they wish us to provide "personal military assistance".

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Food... air filtration, medical supplies.  The Armstrong had enough in her stores for perhaps a few years, but I'm having trouble seeing how they could form a colony on a lifeless world.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::again arches an eyebrow, but this time out of worry:: Sulkar: Which means we fight. ::she whispers, somewhat resigned::

Sulkar says:
#Action: The leader approaches, speaks again and then motions toward one of the openings in the cave.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::nods::  CO:  Well, then I have...good news.  The war between Earth and the Romulans has ended......almost 210 years ago.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  I would agree Ms. Tomiaz.  That is something we should ask Commander Wolfe to find out.

Sulkar says:
#CMO: ::Whispers::  He says there is a human outpost approximately one kilometer down that tunnel.  He wants it removed quietly and quickly.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  CO:  Captain....a lot has happened since you arrived here.

Host Yamamoto says:
@::Laughs and then cheers and leaps up in the air, the others nearby join in the cheering.::

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@ ::said as if walking on egg shells::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::grimaces:: Sulkar: And have you agreed for us?

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: It is only fitting then that the last blow of this war should be struck here, where it began.  Come sir, look at our map, I will show you where to begin landing your troops!  ::Moves to the sand table.::

Sulkar says:
#CMO: ::Nods::  I regret we have no choice.  It is distasteful, but necessary.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::listens in on comm channel::  CO:  The Doctor's team has made contact with the Romulan leader.  Apparently, they are one kilometer from the human camp and request for it to be... removed.

Sulkar says:
#Action: Two Romulans enter the cavern carrying a large metal box, straining with the weight.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: I'm a doctor and a diplomat....I'm not a solider.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::smiles despite himself, then the smile disappears::  CO:  Captain....the war is over.  Its been over for 200 years, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::finds he has to raise his voice to be heard::

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#::wonders if anyone on the Claymore is picking this conversation up::

Sulkar says:
#CMO: We must proceed.  We need time to formulate a plan.

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
*XO*  Claymore to Away Team.  Commander Wolfe...can I speak with you in private.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  If conflict were to erupt, we could blindly beam in photon grenades set to stun in an area between the two away teams... most of them would probably beam into solid rock, but it is possible that several will beam into open caverns and incapacitate anyone walking through them.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  ::barely hears his commlink chirp, taps it quickly::  *CO*  In a  moment, Captain.

Sulkar says:
#Action: The guard motions the CMO and Sulkar ahead, the others form up behind them.

CMO_DrAlGhul says:
#Sulkar: Please remember to file my official protest. ::her tone is dry::

Sulkar says:
#::Does not choose to reply to the CMO as he begins following one guard down the tunnel::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  I am attempting to warn Commander Wolfe of the Romulans position and to begin moving people away.

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  Yamamoto:  Please, try to understand, we aren't a vanguard for any war machine.  We're here to see if we can....bring you and your people home.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Perhaps we should begin to convert empty cargo bays into living arrangements should we need to take on some... guests?

XO_Cmdr_Wolfe says:
@  Yamamoto:  but try to realize that over 200 years have passed since the war with the romulans ended between Earth and Romulus with the Treaty of Charon in 2160.

Host Yamamoto says:
@XO: ::Looks up with a smile::  Of course, of course, and we'll be happy to return with you, the conquering heroes!  As soon as the last of those pointy eared devils is destroyed, we shall all go home.  After so long...::looks wistful::

Host CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CIV:  Do it.  I am hoping that we can get a ship out here to transport them to Earth.  We have other duties to attend to.

CIV_Lt_Tomiaz says:
::nods::  CO:  Aye, Captain.

Host Yamamoto says:
@::Hears the XO and his smile fades...::  XO: You mean...

Host Yamamoto says:
Action: Throughout the tunnels, a rumbling is heard, then felt.  An earthquake shakes the planet and both AT's are bombarded by dust and small rocks.

Host Yamamoto says:
