SD 10303.04 Season Three Episode Thirty-six (Mission #126) Watership Down Part 2

Last week on the USS Claymore…

Having arrived in the Delvinia System the Claymore is currently in orbit around the fifth moon of Delvinia VII. Beginning scans the Claymore soon found they weren't alone as the Klingon Vorcha Cruiser the Bet'fel uncloaked in front of them with weapons active and aimed at them.

Loral, leader of the colonist, has made her displeasure known at the slowness of the investigation. She has lost six people in a shuttle explosion and has lost contact with the six colonists that were at the observatory.

Commander Gorchek has made it known to the crew that he has every intention of being the one to retrieve the probe for what reason and why is unclear. Gorchek is quickly losing his temper with the arrival of the Federation vessel and the loss of a probe sent to the surface to see if it could scan from there.

Trying to make sure the Federation retrieves the probe the Captain has ordered an Away Team.

What adventures await our daring crew this week?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Making sure that all of the requested equipment is being loaded onto the shuttle assigned to the mission::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::sitting in the Runabout Vorskla doing checks::  *CO* Sir, I'm powered up and ready down here.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::On the bridge of the U.S.S. Claymore, he looks between his control console, and the PADD next to him, letting out a great sigh. Slowly he takes hold of the PADD and glances towards Captain Randolph, continuing his internal debate::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Heads to the turbolift to grab a few more pieces of equipment from engineering:: Computer: Engineering, please.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, considering what happened to the last shuttle that went to examine the crash site, may I make a suggestion?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: standing at his console, finishing up his scans, and pulling together any information for the away team mission::

EO_Davis says:
::standing at the master display in Main Engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*  Understood.  Let me know when you and the team are ready to depart.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  You may.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Enters ME, and quickly grabs a few of the more precise tools, and places them in the engineering kit he has already mostly stocked::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
*CSO/CEO* : This is Theron, I'm on the Flight Deck awaiting you in the Runabout.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Perhaps the destination should be changed to the moon observatory. It may hold clues that are important to the mission and decrease the chances that the shuttle will be blown up.

KCO_Gorchek says:
# ::is really tempted to kill his XO::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
*FCO*: I'm on my way, I just have to gather a few more little things.

Loral says:
@::paces in her office:: COM: Claymore: Why can't I talk to the research station yet? ::hands on hips::

EO_Davis says:
::looks up to see the CEO loading up his equipment::  CEO: You good to go Chief?

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#::stands up glaring at his brother::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Checking over the Engineering status of the vessel, he takes the down time to run a diagnostic on the intermix chamber. As the computer begins checking over the information, he lefts out a sigh and glances at his PADD once again::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
*FCO*: Just grabbing some final things. I'll be there in a moment. ::Taps his badge, closing the comm:: EO: Yep. Ensign, you're in charge of Engineering while I'm gone. I'll relay some of the data gathered from the probe to you, possibly to make adjustments to any of the ship's systems for protection.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: finishes scans, and finishes loading equipment needed for the journey::

KCO_Gorchek says:
KXO: Is everyone prepared to depart?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  And the chances of us not finding the Borg device would be slim.  We will be attending to the observatory.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#::mutters:: KCO: Yeah their ready. And you better bring that probe back.

EO_Davis says:
::readies a data receipt node at the master display::  CEO: Aye Sir...  We'll be standing by.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::does final system check and reviews the flight plan to the planet:

KCO_Gorchek says:
#KXO: I will... and I will kill you when I return.  D'oye.... Chu  !

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: finishes loading and looks over to the Captain::

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#KCO: Brother I have lost count of the times you have said that.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods, then exits Main Engineering, and heads for the TL, this time heading to the Flight deck. He arrives in short time, and sees the shuttle. Dandin enters through the door:: FCO: All ready to go.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: I've finished loading my things sir, and on my way down to meet the FCO.

EO_Davis says:
::walks over to another sensor control console to create a receipt file for any data that comes up::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::turns to Lai:: CEO: Yeap as soon as Taylor gets here.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Understood.  You know your objectives Mr. Taylor.  Get it done and be careful.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he gets various results from his diagnostics, D'Aurayen pauses briefly, and thinks about the away team that he should be a part of:: ~~~CEO: Chief, Dan...be careful out there...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, from what I know, this does not fit the typical Borg profile. They assimilate quickly and efficiently, and do not hide themselves. Because the moon observatory also seems to have the same type of dampening field around it, it would be beneficial to send the team there first.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: leaves the company of the bridge and walks to the turbolift doors, the open and he enters::

KCO_Gorchek says:
#:looks to him and smiles:: KXO: 12 !

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#::shakes head:: KCO: Whatever brother...good hunting down there.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Sits next to the FCO, and places his kit on the floor next to his feet:: ~~~CIV: We'll be fine. You just keep things running smoothly on your end, okay?~~~

KCO_Gorchek says:
#::nods::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CEO: How many are coming with us?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
Computer: Flight deck please. :: the turbolift takes the Lt.JG down to the turbolift::

EO_Davis says:
::taps out some commands on the sensor console and brings up a real time, continuous scan of the runabout::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::opens main hangar doors and powers impulse drive in preparation::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
FCO: I'm not sure. That would be Lieutenant Taylor's call, we were only supposed to accompany him.

ACTION: A blip appears on the tactical sensors...small ship coming from Delvinia VII.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Aye aye sir...~~~ ::He glances over at his display and looks up slowly, forgetting about his resignation briefly:: CO: Captain, I'm detecting an incoming vessel from the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  At this point it is still dark as to what is down there.  The null area doesn't allow us to find out what is down there.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Since the null area is around the observatory...::hears the CIV::  CIV:  Can you identify it?

EO_Davis says:
::secures the sensor console and looks over to one of the other senior Engineer's Mates in the bay::  EO: I'll be on the bridge...  

EO_Davis says:
::exits headed towards the bridge::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: exits the turbolift awaiting the arrival of his four science officer team::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He rolls his chair over to the primary Engineering display and configures it to tie into the Tactical sub systems:: CO: A shuttlepod, apparently originating from Delvinia VII, sublight, one passenger.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Wonders where Lieutenant Taylor is::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*  Bridge to Theron.  You may have to hold off on that launch. A vessel is coming in from the planet.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::taps fingers on console::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: A team also has not been blown up as they tried to go investigate the observatory and the Delvinia colony contact has been trying to get us to get in touch with it since we arrived.

Loral says:
@::grumbles and slaps the shuttle's com console:: Self: Just do it myself.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
*CO*: Understood bridge, standing by.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks perplexed:: FCO: Another vessel...?

EO_Davis says:
::enters the bridge and assumes the engineering station:: Computer: Computer, transfer all engineering command routines to this station.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
FCO: I'm here, just waiting for my other science officers.

EO_Davis says:
:: standing next to the Engineering station, observing::

KCO_Gorchek says:
# KFCO: Go Faster !

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::shrugs:: CEO: I have no idea

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CEO: This inaction is getting old in my opinion, off the record.  ::glances at Lai::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Mr. Farris.  The null area is the problem.  I have already ordered you to find a way through that.  That is your job right now.  Once a way to get through the null area has been discovered, contact will be re-established.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  What else can you tell me about that vessel.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: goes to the Runabout with team::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
FCO: Most definitely. ::Glances back to try and spot the CSO::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::hears Taylor enter:: CSO: We're holding for now, another vessel has emerged.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, do you not find it odd that the null area around the crash site seems to be directly related to the null area around the observatory?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
FCO: Ok, thank you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up and notices the junior Ensign and motions for him to take over the secondary Engineering station:: CO: Nothing so far sir, appears to be of standard configuration, the passenger is a Teran female.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  I do Lt. Cmdr.  And again, I have asked you to working on a way to penetrate that null area.  Don't make me ask you again Lt. Cmdr. Farris.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
~~~CIV: What's going on up there, D'Aur?~~~

EO_Davis says:
::moves over to the Mission Ops console and reconfigs for Engineering and orders up the Engineering command functions::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Aye... ::Makes a note to hold the CO responsible if this ends up in the deaths of crew members::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Try messaging the vessel.

Loral says:
@COM: Claymore: You take too long. I bet you're still filling out paperwork. I'll take care of it. ::grumbles and closes the com::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: We've picked up an incoming shuttlecraft from the planet, nothing to be worried about, Dan...not yet at least...I'll keep you informed...~~~

ACTION: The blip moves closer to the Claymore.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hears the COM:: CO: Captain, it appears that our Delvinia contact is cranky and coming to us.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::turns to Lai:: CEO: Hey want to brush up on your hand to hand skills?  I got a program as a gift from T'Kerl before she left, I am learning how to wield a Bat'leth.  ::tone is a bit excited::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He is tempted to correct the Captain and explain that communications are controlled by Operations, however he allows the OPS officer to deal with the comm and continue with scans::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Put me through to the vessel.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
FCO: A Bat'leth, huh? How is that going? ::Doesn't really like hand-to-hand fighting::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: I'll try... ::Attempts to hail the vessel that's coming to them::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He continues scans of the shuttlecraft and continues on with his work, tracking the pods flight plan, and ensuring that it keeps a safe distance from the Claymore::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CEO: Good, I am a beginner, it’s going to take time.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: sits going over some scans waiting for the journey ahead::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods::

Loral says:
@::hears her console beeping:: COM: Claymore: Yes? ::sweetly::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*  You have clearance to launch. *CSO*  The first sign of trouble Mr. Taylor, I want the crew back.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: You talk to her this time... She's too cranky.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
*CO*: Yes sir.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Smiles, as he hears the news that they're beginning to leave::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::stretches, pulls ahead the runabout:: *CO* : Understood Bridge, Vorskla out.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: Loral:  This is Captain Randolph.  I have an officer working on getting through the null area now.

Loral says:
@COM: Claymore: Hi Captain. I had given up hope on you.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::engages autopilot and maneuvers out of the Claymores bay::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::prowls around on the planet's surface and looks around:: K_CSO: FIND ME THE PROBE !

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: It appears that our friend in the shuttlecraft is the respected leader of the Delvinia VII colony...just our luck, a dignitary...~~~ ::He lets out a sigh and returns to his scans::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: Loral:  My apologies.  We have had dealings with the Klingons and that held us up.  My Operations officer is working on the null area problem.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::sets course for the moon:: CSO: Where exactly am I landing Taylor?

EO_Davis says:
::monitor's the runabout's systems and power output as it descends::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Makes a quick check that he has everything he'll probably needs in his case, and then closes it again. He pats his tricorder and phaser, making sure he still has both, then sits and monitors the runabout's internal systems::

Loral says:
@COM: Claymore: Klingons?! Interesting. May I come aboard, Captain?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
% FCO: We’re landing next to the observatory.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: Loral:  Yes, you may.  I look forward to meeting you.  Claymore out.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: holds course for the moon:: ALL: ETA 2 minutes.  CEO: The side arms are in the back compartment if you want to start handing them out Dan.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Captain, I would advise keeping any new arrivals under strict observation. Until we know the exact involvement of either the Borg or the Klingons, we should be weary about bringing aboard anyone, including Starfleet officials.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Give the vessel directions to the shuttle bay.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%FCO: Sure. ::Gets up and walks to the compartment. Dandin opens it, and grabs two extra phasers. He then walks to the CSO and hands out one, and gives the other to the FCO::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  ::nods::  Go down to the shuttle bay and bring the guest here.  You may take a security detail with you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Aye... ::Sends over directions on how to get tractored into the shuttle bay::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::begins descent on the moon, course for the observatory:: *CO* : This is the Vorskla, we've begun landing procedures.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  I will coordinate security and have them posted.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Thank you.  ::looks over to the other science officers and checks to make sure they have all equipment needed::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: takes the phaser from Dan and sets it to heavy stun for the Klingons, then holsters it::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*  I am glad to hear you made it safely down.  *CSO*  Keep me apprised.

ACTION: The runabout makes it's way through the atmosphere and lands near the observatory with a thud.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Sighs and nods, signaling for one of Liko's security teams to meet him in the shuttlebay:: CO: Understood sir...::He hands off the Engineering display and stands, heading to the lift, forlorn and beaten down::

Loral says:
@::tilts the shuttlepod towards the shuttlebay::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%ALL: We're here.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%*CO*: Yes sir.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Steadies himself from the not-too-soft landing:: FCO: Aye.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::powers down the runabout and opens hatch near cockpit::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::has no idea where he is on the planet:: KCSO: Find me the probe... QUICKLY !

ACTION: The tractor beam activates as Loral's shuttle gets close and brings it into the bay.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: takes a deep breath, and feels ready for the task at hand::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, our guest is here... Who's going to greet it?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::stands and walks to the exit:: CSO: I'll have your back while your team does its work.  ::exits runabout::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Follows behind the FCO as he disembarks, and looks around the area. He opens his tricorder and begins to take readings::

ACTION: As Commander Gorchek moves around the planet he is lost from the Bet'fel's sensors.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::After a slow ride towards the Flight Deck, D'Aurayen makes his way to the observation deck, watching as the small craft is towed in and taking a phaser from storage::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  I am sure the guest is not an "it" Mr. Farris.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts running through frequencies and patterns to get through the null area, not expecting any of them to work::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: exits the runabout, accompanied by four other science officers::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: You haven't talked to her when she was in a bad mood. Definitely an "it".

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#::watching the scans and lets out a few curses:: COM: Claymore: What have you done to my team?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: Thank you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hears the Klingon:: CO: It's for you.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Regardless of mood Mr. Farris, the person is a person just like you.

Loral says:
::does the shut-down procedures and opens the shuttlepod door::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::looks around and absorbs the warm air::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KXO:  Team?  We have not encountered a Klingon team.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: looks around the area, and motions his team to begin scans::

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: Don't play games with me. Your federation trickery has done something with them. I demand you bring them back before I am forced to take action!

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: I think we should let the bridge know when we are about to enter the 'null' area.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Opens his tricorder, and begins scanning the area, his four science officers follow suit::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As the craft lands, he makes his way to the main level and watches as the pod opens slowly. On each side he is flanked by guards, along with a pair at the door. The men and women stand like mountains behind him, and for once, D'Aurayen feels safe, and powerful:: Loral: Greetings Miss Loral, I am Ensign D'Aurayen Alezka...welcome aboard the U.S.S. Claymore.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Takes a deep breath - he notices the air is a little thinner than he's used to::

Loral says:
::exits the shuttlepod and looks around the shuttlebay, her heels clicking on the floor and her robes rustling softly with her movements::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: Agreed.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: walks over to Dan:: CEO: Whatcha got?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KCO:  We have not encountered a Klingon  Team.  What were their last known coordinates?

Loral says:
::smiles:: CIV: Hello Ensign.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: You know good and well they were on the planet just before your shuttle landed!

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Still looking at his tricorder:: FCO: Nothing special - small life forms, small plant life...no probes.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He smiles back and bows slightly, resisting the urge to place his hand on his phaser - while not a violent man, he doesn't feel he can trust this woman:: Loral: Captain Randolph is currently occupied, coordinating our investigation, however I have been asked to bring you to see him as soon as possible.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KXO:  I assure you we have not encountered you crew members.  I will advise my officers to me on the lookout for your officers.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: Continues looking and scanning, yet finds nothing specific, as of yet::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Looks up:: ALL: Are we moving into the null area?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::yells over to Taylor:: CSO: A lot nicer than the last place we landed at eh?

Loral says:
::nods:: CIV: I understand. I appreciate your help in this matter.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: You have five minutes to return my brother and his team or I will open fire. ::cuts the com::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: laughs:: CEO: We're not moving at all, lets cover some ground.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: looks over to  Theron::  FCO: Quite a bit nicer.

EO_Davis says:
::looks over to the CO with something of an uneasy look on his face::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Self:  Damn.  TO:  Red Alert.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
Loral: ...and the assistance of the Delvinian government is greatly appreciated by the Federation. ::He holds out his arm for Loral to take as he prepares to escort her out of the bay:: This way, ma'am...

ACTION: The telepathic members of the AT get a faint impression of a buzzing going off around them...just an annoying little buzzing...

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
<TO>  CO:  Aye sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Yawns:: Self: Guess we'll have to blow them up...

KCO_Gorchek says:
Self: nuQanjaj boQqangbogh 'ej Qumbogh qa'pu!

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%FCO: I meant "will we be," sorry. ::Stops, as he starts to hear something, then realizes it's inside his head:: FCO/CSO: Do you hear that?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::looks around:: CEO: No what is it?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%::looks to Lai:: CEO: No Lt. what is it?

Loral says:
::takes the CIV's arm and blushes softly:: CIV: I must admit, when I first heard you were coming to assist us I had thought...things...::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CSO*  Claymore to Taylor.  Be on the lookout for a Klingon team.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::hears the Captains call and draws phaser to his side::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%*CO*: Yes sir, I'm on the watch.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%FCO/CSO: I...don't know. You really can't hear it? It's like...bees, or flies...buzzing around. It's not loud, but I notice it.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: Should we head for the observatory?  We aren’t getting anything here.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CSO*  If you locate them in the next four minutes or so, I need to know.  The Klingon ship is about to open fire on us.

EO_Davis says:
::pulls up a power level monitor and insures that aux power is on hot standby per Red Alert condition::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::On their ride up in the turbolift, he notices as the wall lighting shift to a red shade and curses internally - struggling to maintain his outward composure:: Loral: Understandable, considering previous events in this region. Starfleet has hopes of increasing its presence in this region in the future, and I hope that it will only serve to strengthen the bond that we share.

ACTION: The AT sees something moving in the trees up ahead.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%AT: The Captain has notified us to be on the look out for a Klingon team.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%ALL: Over there.  ::points to trees::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Get the Klingons Mr. Farris.

Loral says:
::nods:: CIV: Well spoken. Are you sure you're not a diplomat?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::holds phaser up and walks ahead of the team a bit::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: Yes lets get to the Observatory.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Watches his console to make sure the AT doesn't leave transporter capability:: CO: Aye... ::Hails the Klingons::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% Self: chol 'Iv?  I know I saw something over there  ::points::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Looks, and draws his phaser, meanwhile reading his tricorder:: Self: Klingons...great...

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%*CO*: Yes sir, I'll notify you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As they reach the upper level of the bridge he smiles lightly and looks down at the ground:: Loral: If only I could keep from being nervous all the time, I would try it. Now ma'am, if you would like to wait in the observation lounge, I will announce you to Captain Randolph. Your escorts will see to your needs, any food, or beverages you may require. Enjoy your stay ma'am.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%Yells: Who goes there.  ::takes a few more steps forward::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%AT_ALL: If we find the Klingon team, we need to notify the Captain immediately.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: I think we just did, lets find out.

Loral says:
CIV: Thank you. ::follows the escorts to the observation lounge, her robes rustling as she walks::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%CSO: Aye. ::Nods, and keeps an eye out::

KCO_Gorchek says:
% KCSO: nuqjatlh?  You find it or not!

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: walks forward motion his team to follow and keep their eyes peeled for the Klingon team::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::turns to Lai:: CEO: Are they Klingons?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he departs from Loral he rushes onto the bridge, all of his composure gone in an instant:: EO: Status? ::He moves back to his main display and brings up anything he needs to catch up on their situation::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: They're not answering. I guess they don't want to talk.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%CEO: Are they?

ACTION: As the AT gets deeper into the trees they start fading out on the Claymore's sensors...communications are nil.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  That is not surprising.  ::waits to hear from the AT::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Captain, I've lost the team.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%*CO*: Captain...Captain..

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sighs::  OPS:  Just open a channel on all frequencies.  Tell me when it is open.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Slowly moves behind the rest of the AT, looking behind him every so often, keeping his phaser drawn:: CSO/FCO: Well, judging from the swearing, probably Klingons, yes.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::sees Taylor calling the ship:: CSO: I guess we're alone.

EO_Davis says:
::hears OPS report that the AT signal has been lost - tries to boost power to the sensor array and get the signal back::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As his display fires to life he notices as their lock on the away team begins to fade out:: CO: Captain, Regent Loral is awaiting you in the Observation Lounge, sir...::He hears the OPS officer and immediately opens up his mind::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: continues comming::  FCO: It seems so.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::hears voices:: Away Team: Who goes there!?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::moves ahead again and yells to the Klingons:: KCO: We're from the Claymore.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts tapping his console to reconfirm what he just reported:: CO: Aye... ::Opens the channel:: CO: Whenever you're ready.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Dan, can you hear me? What's going on down there...we've lost contact with you...Dan, are you all right? Answer me...please.~~~ ::His thought are frantic and desperate as he tries to reach his friend::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KXO:  This is Captain Randolph of the Claymore.  I have just lost contact with my team.  There is a possibility they have entered the null area of the planet.  It is possible your team has done the same.  I suggest we not go to battle over this right now.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
<OBS Team> ::whispers:: ALL: I told you someone was coming to take our prize...back...everyone back we must protect.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%KCO: I am the Chief Science Officer of the USS Claymore, Lt.JG Taylor.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Stands behind and to the left of the FCO, phaser at the ready::

ACTION: A scrambling in the woods nearby can be heard by all parties.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Captain, I'm not picking up Lieutenant Lai, via comm or telepathy...it's almost as if they've slipped out of our reality - whatever this null space is...we're going to have a hell of a time getting through it...

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%KCO: Who might you be?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:startled starts to survey quickly and move about::

KCO_Gorchek says:
%CSO: Bah... Federation.... ::pauses and remembers that the Federation has better tricorders:: Greetings Claymore crew... Commander Dorchan.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  I am in complete agreement with you...::waits on the Klingons::  We don't have any information about it.

ACTION: The buzzing sound the telepaths heard earlier is getting louder.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: The tricorders are done too? Or are they working since we are so close?

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Wishes someone of the Away Team was telepathic::

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: What if I don't believe you?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Thank you for bringing Loral to the Observation Lounge.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%KCO: Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: Yes they are working.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Chances are if they have entered a splinter in our reality, they may be unaware of it, and may be getting the readings we need. Captain, I would like to request permission to follow the away team, possibly get closer readings of this region...

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Turns his head slightly as the sound volume increases. He whispers to the rest of the team:: CSO/FCO: The buzzing - it's getting stronger, louder.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CSO: What was that sound?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KXO:  Then you one if not both us will die and so will the two crews on the planet.  I am willing to see if they come out.  It is an honorable action to wait on one's comrade.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% CSO: Well Lieutenant... ::slaps his back hard:: CSO: Have you found our quarry?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%CEO: Something is nearby, and I don’t think it’s the Klingons.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Standby on that for now.  Let me deal with the Klingons and we can turn our attention to it.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%FCO: The scrambling are Terrans, there is 6 of them.

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: Very well Captain I will honor that...you have one hour.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
Self: An hour over five minutes... that's always good.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: moves towards the scrambling at a jog::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: jerks forward:: KCO: Not as of yet, Sir.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Hears the Klingons speak with Lieutenant Taylor::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Goes back to re-establishing contact with the away team::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
COM: KXO:  It may be more than an hour but I will do my best.  You work with your officers to do the same.  At the end of the hour, we will get together and share out information to deal with this.  That is my suggestion.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::motions for the rest of his group to join the Federation team::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%KCO: It seems you too have not found the quarry, have you?

Host KXO_Dorchan says:
#COM: CO: I will speak with my officers...Bet'fel out.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Klingon's dealt with, sir. Regent Loral is waiting for you sir, and I will ensure that I keep in contact with the Claymore sir...I've studied the region, I'm the best person to go after them, sir.

KCO_Gorchek says:
%CSO: p'Tak... I would not be lurking in a jungle if I had !

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%::yells back to away team:: ALL: They are running away, I think we should follow!

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: chuckles a little to himself, not to seem rude::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  What is your plan?

KCO_Gorchek says:
%::looks around:: FCO: Run?  Who ?  GUARDS: FOLLOW THEM!   Quickly !

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Continues trying to find some frequency that penetrates the bubble around the AT::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
%:: begins to sprint after the terrans, glad that he has kept fit from sitting at the helm so long::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
%::Begins to chase after the FCO::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
%:: stays with the KCO::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*Loral*  Randolph to Loral.  I will be with you momentarily.  I apologize for the wait but I have just lost contact with my officers the same as you.  Any suggestion could help.

KCO_Gorchek says:
% ::stays with the CSO::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CO: Locate the shuttle on the moon, and access it's primary sensors and database, checking for any irregular readings that the team may have missed. Secondly, locate the team, and inform them of not only our status, but of the null region they are in...I'll set up a comm network on the planet, I think it should get through the interference...sir...
