SO_Webster says:
@::taps tricorder, as readings seem to be strange::

MO_Love says:
::tries to adjust the number two bed without success ::Self: Who ever maintains this sickbay should be fired. What a mess!

SO_Webster says:
@CTO/FCO: I'm getting the data from the buoys...it's weird...a strange energy reading...but I can't make it out.

CTO_Chalen says:
SO:  Strange=trouble in my book.  Any danger to the ship?

MO_Love says:
*Engineerin*: Could you please send someone to sickbay to make some repairs?

CNS_Anusia says:
::wonders what sick bay is like.... if it's got lots of neat gadgets::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::charging main impulse engines::

CNS_Anusia says:
::shakes head and gets back to scanning the energy source...::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: Not that that I can tell...they just seem to be a patterned field around the planet.  I've never seen anything like it before

CTO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Would it keep us from landing?

CTO_Chalen says:
CTO=SO

CNS_Anusia says:
::Self: Keep yer mind on yer work, girlie! This ain't a station in the middle of nowhere!::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::monitoring reports from Starfleet ionic weather forecasts::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Report.  What is your status?

MO_Love says:
::taps her foot impatiently::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: No, we should have no problems getting through it.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: continues to monitor the shuttle but turns his focus to the data transmissions from the buoy's ::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::checks the readings again::  XO:  There is some sort of patterned field around the planet... can't tell you much more.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Thank you.

CTO_Chalen says:
::takes the helm::  FCO:  Sorry April, it could be bumpy.  Hope you don't mind if I take the controls.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods to the XO then turns to the monitor again and raises her eyebrow Vulcan-like again::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Lt. Chalen, what can you tell me from your end?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::monitoring local navigational phenomena::

MO_Love says:
*EO*: Can someone down there send a repair team to sickbay please? ::is not a happy camper::

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: The crew of the shuttle can visually see the planet now. Faint light blue lines can be seen crossing it in places.

CTO_Chalen says:
XOM XO:  Sir that matches with what Webster is telling me here.  Permission to try and enter the planet's gravity well?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: makes sure that the Shuttle Bay Doors have closed since the shuttle departed ::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: Sir, it's visible now ::Points::

CTO_Chalen says:
COM XO:  Sir we can see the planet now.  It's just coming into view.

SO_Webster says:
@::takes readings of the planet and energy field::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
XO: Request permission to ask the shuttle to inform us of its flight path

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::reads the info that is still coming in from the buoys::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: ducks down behind his station for a moment ::

CNS_Anusia says:
XO: Do you think the shuttle crew would mind if I kept in.... contact... with them? I'm just asking because maybe if I can see through their eyes, I might be able to get a better reading on the energy source.

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: FCO Fielding faints for some unknown reason and is beamed back to the ship, to sickbay. MO Love takes over as flight control since she had been trained in flight control at the academy.

MO_Love says:
@::maneuvers the shuttle into a low flight path::

CTO_Chalen says:
::hands over the con to the MO::

Eo_David_Telarus says:
*MO*:yes right on it

MO_Love says:
@::smiles over at the CTO::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: pops back over his station with his hair combed :: 

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CNS:  You might want to ask their permission first.

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: I can't get anything more from my sensors...there must be something interfering with my readings.

CNS_Anusia says:
::nods:: XO: Will do. ::smiles::

CTO_Chalen says:
*COM XO*:  Sir, we're moving in on landing trajectory now.   Smooth sailing so far.

CTO_Chalen says:
SO:  I think that's par for the course on this mission.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: uses the ship's systems to maintain sensor contact with the Shuttle Craft ::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Proceed with caution.

MO_Love says:
@CTO: Bringing us in on landing co ordinates now. SO: Anything we should watch out for?

Eo_David_Telarus says:
*CTO*:we have a problem send double repair group to sickbay on the double we don't have time before we lose the sickbay

CNS_Anusia says:
*Shuttle crew*: Would the three of you mind if I kept in light contact with you... mentally?

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Not that I can tell...just don't hit the trees ::grins::

CTO_Chalen says:
@COM XO: Caution is my middle name sir!   Or was it "Ka-Blammo"?   I can never remember...

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::maintaining navigational deflectors at full intensity to avoid space debris::

MO_Love says:
@::laughs softly:: SO: Oh I'll just take a bit off the top.

SO_Webster says:
@::rolls her eyes and checks her seat belts, again::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::keeps up with the sensors::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  I believe your birth certificate reads, "Chalen Trigger Happy Riggs"  or something like that.

MO_Love says:
@::reduces speed and brings thrusters to landing attitude::

CTO_Chalen says:
@COM: CNS: So long as it doesn’t tickle and I don't wake up in a ballet outfit you can do what you please.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: I've established sensor contact with the Shuttle Craft, we are receiving telemetry.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Thank you.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: nods and channels the data to the Science, Helm and Tactical stations ::

MO_Love says:
@::spots the landing site:: All: Ok, here we go, it may be a bit rough...hang on.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::gawks at the XO::

CNS_Anusia says:
COM: CTO: I'll try to control myself. ::chuckles::

CTO_Chalen says:
::hangs on to his console::

SO_Webster says:
@::wonders why shuttle landings are always a bit rough and hangs on::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
River:  What?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::gimme munchie::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::hears Torgh say something and turns to see him looking at River as if he'll talk back... gives Torgh a worried look::

MO_Love says:
@All: After thrusters to 1/2, port and starboard thrusters to 1/4.

CNS_Anusia says:
::establishes a light mental link with CTO... just enough to sense anything strange... hoping the CTO's mind itself isn't classified as "strange"::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::reaches into his pocket and brings out a treat::  River:  Here you go.

MO_Love says:
@::takes the shuttle down and lands with a slight bump::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::smiles::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
River:  If you don't like it, let me know.  I'll replicate something better next time.

SO_Webster says:
@::jumps as the shuttle bumps a bit:: MO: Smooth landing ::grins wryly::

CTO_Chalen says:
::tries to conjure up random images of pink rhinos and balloon shaped horse riding Felklar plants just to screw with the CNS::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::sits at the XO's feet::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: Sir, we've just lost all communication and telemetry from the shuttle.

MO_Love says:
@All: Everyone ok?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises her eyebrow at Torgh and shakes her head... attributes the strange behavior to married life....::

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Yep...ready to work

CTO_Chalen says:
@MO:  Still in one piece I think.

CNS_Anusia says:
::tries not to giggle at the mental conjuring of the CTO::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: checks his systems and runs a level 4 diagnostic on them :: 

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Lieutenant?

MO_Love says:
@All: Shutting down all systems.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::turns back to the sensor readings::

CTO_Chalen says:
@COM XO:  Liberator to Don Johnson, we've landed.

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: All communications between the ship and the shuttle are severed.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
XO: Request yellow alert and give recall order to the shuttle based on loss of contact

SO_Webster says:
@::checks the atmosphere outside the shuttle::

CTO_Chalen says:
@COM XO:  Don Johnson, please respond.

MO_Love says:
@SO: Well, is it safe?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: checks his instruments again :: XO: It's not our side Commander, they're just ... Gone.

CNS_Anusia says:
::attempts to get a "sense" of the surroundings::

SO_Webster says:
@::finally getting some readings:: CTO/MO: It's a class M...we're good to go

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Yes, go to Yellow Alert, and recall the shuttle if you can.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CNS:  Can you speak to them telepathically, by any chance?

CTO_Chalen says:
@MO, SO:  Looks like we've lost contact with the Johnson.  

MO_Love says:
@::looks over at Chalen:: CTO: Problem sir?

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: Should we continue?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: opens a hailing frequency on all sub-space bands :: *Shuttle Craft*: Shuttle Crew please respond, This is the USS Don Johnson requesting a shuttle recall.  Shuttlecraft return to the ship at once.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::initiates yellow alert:: OPS: please attempt to recall the shuttle

CNS_Anusia says:
::scrunches face up and concentrates:: XO: I..... I'm not certain. It's very.... hazy. ::frowns::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
Ambassador: Aye sir, Attempting to do so now. *Shuttle Craft*: This is the USS Don Johnson, Repeat; you are to return to the ship immediately.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::tries to recalibrate the sensors to find the crew::

CTO_Chalen says:
@MO, SO:  Okay, as ranking officer I'm making the call that as long as we're down here we do the job we were ordered to.  The Shuttle is still functioning properly so we're not in danger yet.

MO_Love says:
@::checks the comm. system on the shuttle::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::frowns::

SO_Webster says:
@::nods in agreement:: CTO: Sounds good.  I'm ready.

CTO_Chalen says:
@MO:  Stay with the ship and work on the COM system.

MO_Love says:
@::looks at Webster then at Chalen::

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO: Grab a phaser and tricorder, you're with me.

CNS_Anusia says:
XO: I think I'm still picking up... something... from the CTO. Nothing concrete. Just sensations really.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::runs his hands through his slightly graying silver hair::

MO_Love says:
@CTO: Aye sir, I'm on it.

SO_Webster says:
@::picks up a phaser and double checks her tricorder:: CTO: Aye, sir.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: Sir, we should send a team down to recover them.

CTO_Chalen says:
@::grabs a type III rifle and tricorder and heads out first::

SO_Webster says:
@::follows the CTO::

CNS_Anusia says:
::shakes head:: OPS, XO: I'm not sure that's wise....

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  Take your readings and tell me as much as you can about this place.   Besides the fact that it's creepy.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  I don't think so.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: hears an alarm go off on his station and checks to see :: XO: All stations report Yellow Alert Ready.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
XO: I propose to launch a sensor probe to their last known location

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO/CNS: Sirs?

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: You got it.  ::brings up tricorder and tries to get more detailed readings::

MO_Love says:
@::watches the two leave:: Self: I hope they're alright out there.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  We may lose the probe, as well... But let's try it.

CNS_Anusia says:
OPS: I don't think it's wise to send a rescue until we know more about what we're up against. It's a very... powerful force. ::shakes head::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sets up a probe without being told to::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::feeds information to the CSO::

CTO_Chalen says:
@::surveys the area and sees nothing out of the ordinary right away::

MO_Love says:
@::grabs her tool kit and gets under the comm. panel to check things out::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: nods and again realizes that the CNS is telepathic and tries to clear his mind of all "inappropriate" thoughts ::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at the Amb and continues to work::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
XO: Flight path of probe is set, now its up to Science

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Probe ready, sir.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  You may launch the probe when ready.

CTO_Chalen says:
@::breaths in the slight sent of water vapor in the air and opens his tricorder to take some additional readings::

CNS_Anusia says:
::still receiving sensations from the CTO::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods to Torgh and launches the probe toward the planet::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CNS:  Anything of interest?

MO_Love says:
@Self: Where's an engineer when you need one? ::lies on her back under the console and starts fiddling with the controls::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: There's a variety of vegetation areas...forests, deserts, oceans...but I'm not picking up any life signs...not even animal life.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: monitors the probe launching tube and the probe itself :: 

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::pats River on the head, so he doesn't think he's being ignored::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::keep tight contact with the probe::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::adjusts probe's flight path to avoid gravity traps::

CNS_Anusia says:
XO: I don't think the AT is in any danger... yet. I'm still picking up the CTO, and he doesn't appear to be alarmed.

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  Okay, that alone makes me nervous.  Either animal life hasn't evolved here yet, or something happened to them all.......

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::grins at XO::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::  CNS:  Okay.  Please report any sudden changes.

CNS_Anusia says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::nods::

SO_Webster says:
@::nods:: CTO: Seems that way...I hope it's not the latter.

MO_Love says:
@::removes several components and runs a scanner over them::

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  Any energy readings?  A damping field maybe?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: monitors the probe's telemetry and power systems as it descends ::

MO_Love says:
@Self: Well they look fine. ::replaces them in proper order::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
::makes minute course corrections to glide path as necessary::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Please send a transmission to SFHQ, updating them on our status.

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: Same energy reading as before...nothing concrete still.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Yes sir.  ::takes up a report::

CTO_Chalen says:
@::a nervous chill runs up his spine for no apparent reason::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: clears his throat :: XO: Sir?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Yes, Toros?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  All I'm getting from the probe is that it is a Class M planet with no life signs....

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: Nothing to worry about sir.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::puts that into her report and sends it along to SFHQ::

CNS_Anusia says:
::gets a chill... then realizes it's the CTO::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: So something is causing the energy field, but there are no inhabitants...could be a natural phenomena

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: makes sure the transmission gets top priority and leaves the ship immediately via the sub-space antennae ::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::tilts his head to one side with curiosity at OPS's response::  Hmm.

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  HOLD IT!   What's that?  ::points to a light blue beam of light in front of him::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: continues working while glancing up and down from time to time ::

MO_Love says:
@::crawls out and tries the comm. again::COMM: Don Johnson: This is the shuttle Liberator, come in please...repeat, this is the Liberator, respond please.

CTO_Chalen says:
@::freezes and examines the light::

SO_Webster says:
@::looks to what the CTO is pointing at::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  The probe's not picking up our away team's life signs, either?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::paws over eyes, hates mysteries::

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  Scan it.  ::still frozen::

MO_Love says:
@::Listens closely for any transmissions::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  No, but I think the shuttle landed....I'm not sure.

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: On it, sir...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::scratches River's ears to comfort him::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<Riverwind>::feels better::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: How much longer should we wait before we dispatch a rescue team, sir?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::wonders how his own dog, Root Beer, is doing::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::tries to help out the probe and it's sensors::

SO_Webster says:
@::checks her readings:: CTO: It's the energy source, sir, or at least part of it.

MO_Love says:
@::hears only static cracking from the speakers::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Don't worry yourself, Toros.  When I feel it is necessary, I will dispatch a rescue team.

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: It seems to be an interconnected energy, kind of like a spider's web, with stronger and weaker areas.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
XO: Of Course sir, sorry sir.

MO_Love says:
@COMM: Don Johnson: I repeat, this is the Liberator. Is anyone receiving us?

CNS_Anusia says:
::freezes... getting light thoughts from CTO::

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  Can't you track a source?  Or is it some kind of tripwire?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
CSO: How is the probe doing?

CNS_Anusia says:
XO: Sir.... I think they found something. But I don't know what.... still very hazy...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  The shuttle's landed?  I hope Riggs isn't crazy enough to leave the shuttle...  Wait, a minute... of course he is...

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: It's over the entire planet, sir, so there is no 'source'

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  I'm really not sure about that, sir.   Amb:  It's ok, still sending info.

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  The entire planet!?  We may have just run into a planet wide booby trap...........

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CNS:  What are you sensing, Counselor?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
CSO: <Grin> warranty must still be good

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::grins at the Amb's joke and goes back to the info still coming in from the probe::

MO_Love says:
@::stands and walks to the door of the shuttle and looks out:: Self: Where are they?

CNS_Anusia says:
::squints:: XO: Alarm... something not quite right.... a trap, maybe? ::sighs:: I'm not entirely certain....

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: I'm not sure about that, sir.  Don't you think something would have happened when we landed.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Recommendations?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
:: monitors the sub-space frequencies to see if any transmissions are emanating from the planet all the while monitoring the probe's power signs ::

CTO_Chalen says:
@SO:  The good traps get you when you least expect it.   Do me a favor and start expecting it.

MO_Love says:
@::steps outside for a breath of fresh air::

SO_Webster says:
@::takes a step forward and steps through the beam::

SO_Webster says:
@CTO: Sorry, sir, I'll start expecting it the next time.  As for This time, it kind of felt like a tickle as I walked through it...nothing that hurt.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
XO: I suggest attempting to use the probe to map the area and use the information to attempt to breach any electronic jamming field, by design or nature

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Good idea.  CSO:  Can you get to work on that?

MO_Love says:
@::gets a very uneasy feeling as she looks around outside:: Self: This is spooky...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
XO:  Sure, we'll give it a spin.    Amb:  Let's hope that warranty keeps up!  ::sets to work::
