FCO_Fielding says:
@::wakes up from a Very Long Nap, refreshed and somewhat less delusional.  relatively speaking.::

OPS_Webster says:
@::stretches, trying to get more comfortable, waiting for the others to wake::

TO_Grayson says:
%::uses his nifty tricorder to scan for useful stuff::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::leaning up against a tree, holding the stick that Love gave him::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::Pokes Dr. W. to see if she's still Moving::

MO_Love says:
@::checks on her patient:: XO: Feeling better Commander?

Dr_Askrus says:
::Files his reports to Starfleet Medical and Starfleet Command.::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: April, no need to poke...I'm awake.  I've been keeping watch. ::smiles::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  You still searching for food?

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Really?  Cool.  Sometimes, people who get Poisoned by Snakes just sort of Sit There like they're Sitting Watch.  Except they don't Move when you Poke them.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Never felt better.  Thanks for asking, Mom.  ::takes a bite out of the stick, thinking it's a breadstick::

TO_Grayson says:
%CSO: Yes ma'am.  Haven't found much yet...how about you?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: I guess I was lucky and this snake just tried to choke me...not poison me.

Captain_Grift says:
::awakens.. a little stiff from the uncomfortable bunk on the shuttle::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Oh.  Well, choking's bad.  Lemme see your neck.  ::looks at Dr. W.'s neck Suspiciously::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  Well, I found one thing, but it's not much, really.  ::shows a sprig of a plant::

MO_Love says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: XO: Give that to me...::grabs the stick::

Dr_Askrus says:
::Looks over his report and then checks up on the CMO's current status.  Nods and continues with his review.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around again.  Everyone seems to be up::

OPS_Webster says:
@::leans over so April can check her neck:: FCO: See anything suspicious?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Aw, Mom!  You never let me do anything!  I'm hungry!

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hmmmmm... nope!  You're fine.  Not even slimy trails.

TO_Grayson says:
%CSO: Hmm...well, at least it's something.  Nice work.  ::continues scanning::  Any idea how much further?

Amb_John_Sea says:
%::pops open a can of coke and pulls out a hamburger::

OPS_Webster says:
@::giggles:: FCO: That's good to hear.   Are we ready to head out yet?  I think we should get there today, right?

MO_Love says:
@XO: Here, try this. ::hands him some of the red leaves she collected::

Dr_Askrus says:
::Finishes his final review and then submits his report on the CMO.:: Self: That'll do it. ::Giggles and goes back to his normal duties.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Probably.  I'm waiting for our August Leader to stop trying to eat weird food.

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: I thought you were in charge, since he seems to be out of it?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Oh, chips.  Thanks, Mom.  ::takes the leaves and munches on one::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Well, later when he hears all my speeches, I want him to believe that I always Considered Him Competent.  Good for his ego, you know.

MO_Love says:
@:;wonders where the FCO and OPS are::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::chews on a leaf and scans for the goal again::  All:  It's not very far now.  I suggest we get going.  Oh, and be on the look out for this plant.  It's actually quite tasty!

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Come on, let's get back to our flop.

OPS_Webster says:
@::nods:: FCO: Good thinking.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Looks around.:: CSO: Your right.  We better get moving.

Amb_John_Sea says:
%::slurps on his soda::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::trudges back to the lean-to, which really does look like it's leaning to something::

TO_Grayson says:
%Amb: Where in blazes did you get that stuff?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::pokes the Amb::  Amb:  No fair.. may I have a sip??

MO_Love says:
@XO: Ok, now let's get you on this make shift stretcher. We have to be moving out soon.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::glances over at the sensor panel and notices the teams are preparing to continue their trek.::

Amb_John_Sea says:
%TO: I'm an observer, <G> now go forage for food you caveman <G>

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Looks like Dr. Love has things under control.  ::shrugs::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::sighs::  All:  Ok.  This way, everyone!  ::sets off towards the goal, keeping an eye for the plant, too::

TO_Grayson says:
%::mutters and keeps scanning::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Is it bedtime?

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Follows behind the CSO.::

TO_Grayson says:
%::follows behind the CSO and CNS::

MO_Love says:
@FCO: Ahhhh, you're back...ready when you are Miss Fielding. ::smiles::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::leads the way toward the goal, chewing on a plant::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Ready here, too, ma'am.

Amb_John_Sea says:
%CSO: ::grin:: nope not allowed, you young people have to pass this field test while us old timers observe <G>

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Steps out of the shuttle to take in some of the crisp morning air::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Scans and continues to follow the others, intermittently looking around for anything that could help them.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::nods at the doctor and the Scientist, then looks Weirdly at Dr. W.::

MO_Love says:
@:;looks at Caryn:: OPS: How is the water holding out?

TO_Grayson says:
%::whistles as he walks, enjoying the hike.  He did stuff like this all the time on Earth, hiking through Denali Park in Alaska::

OPS_Webster says:
@::notices the strange look from April and grins:: FCO: Just trying to be professional.

FCO_Fielding says:
@XO: All comfy there, Torgh?  We're going to be moving you along in a bit.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  Hey, we're almost out of water, could you scan for some more?

OPS_Webster says:
@MO: We have plenty of water...April and I refilled on our way back here.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Yes, Mom... You take such good care of me.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::blinks, wondering if Torgh lost capabilities of visual tracking::

TO_Grayson says:
%CSO: No problem.  ::modifies his scan to search for drinkable water as well::

MO_Love says:
@OPS: Excellent. I think we're going to need it after this little trip carrying the XO.

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: I guess two will carry the XO, and one will make the trail?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  Thanks!  ::continues toward the goal::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Exactly.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS/MO: Okay, which one of you scored more than 55% on Strength and Endurance IV?

Amb_John_Sea says:
@<River> ::trots around::

OPS_Webster says:
@::stutters:: FCO: I'd prefer not to give out my score...but I'm guessing you'd rather make the trail?

MO_Love says:
@FCO: Not me that's for sure, but I'll help pull the litter::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Oh, okay.  @MO: Thanks, Doctor.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Looks at her tricorder and then taps it on the side.  Presses a few buttons and then smiles as it starts to work again.:: Self: I better have Engineering look this one over when we get back.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%All:  Everyone ok back there?

MO_Love says:
@XO: You all tucked in back there Commander?

OPS_Webster says:
@::nods:: FCO: OK... MO: Sara, do you want the front or the back?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::hmmmmms.  Hopes that the strain won't hurt the MO::

Amb_John_Sea says:
%::puts on his mirror shades and grins, I ought to be in pictures::

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: Walks around the shuttle, checking out the scenery::

CNS_Anusia says:
%CSO: Pretty good.  Except for my tricorder seems to be malfunctioning intermittently.. ::Sighs.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks toward the Jungle Out There and bwahahahas as she brandishes her Hatchet of Terror::

MO_Love says:
@OPS: I'll take the back...that way I can monitor the Commander better.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Mm hmm... Can you tell me a story, Mom?

OPS_Webster says:
@::looks around as she hears a strange sound:: MO: OK, the front it is.

TO_Grayson says:
%All: Think I've got some...no...wait, false alarm.  Sorry.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%CNS:  Really?  Let me see it.  Maybe I can fix it....

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::snickers at the TO::

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Team 2 hears a rustle in the brush nearby but can't see anything.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS/MO: all right, here goes.  If you don't get enough clearance, just Yell.

MO_Love says:
@XO: Nap time Torgh....story later.

OPS_Webster says:
@::moves around to the front of the litter, bends over and lifts it up::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Hands the CSO her tricorder.:: CSO: Here.. It seems to shut off for no apparent reason...

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS/MO: ...on other hand... what was That Noise?!

Host Captain_Grift says:
::reenters his shuttle to continue monitoring the two teams::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  I don't want to sleep.

MO_Love says:
@FCO: I have no idea.

OPS_Webster says:
@::listens for a noise:: FCO: The only thing I heard was you 'bwahahahaing"

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS/MO: Hmm, never mind, it was the sound of one Hatchet cutting trees.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::takes the tricorder and stops walking as she hears the sound, handing her working tricorder to the CNS::

TO_Grayson says:
%::looks up from his tricorder and looks around::  All: Anyone else hear that?

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Oh!  Oh, oh, yeah.  It must Echo here or something.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Smiles as she takes the working tricorder from the CSO and scans the area.  Shakes it a bit and smiles as it still works.:: CSO: If you shake it... It'll probably shut off.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::moves along:: OPS/MO: How's it coming back there?  How's Torghie?

OPS_Webster says:
@::follows along after April:: FCO: You are making a nice trail, easy to follow.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  I heard it.  CNS, you picking up anything?  ::shakes her tricorder and tries to tamper with it when it shuts off::

MO_Love says:
@FCO: Oh the Commander is just fine, as long as he's quiet.

Amb_John_Sea says:
@<River> ::paws the XO::

TO_Grayson says:
%::slowly makes his way over to the brush and peeks inside::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Thanks, Dr. W.  @MO: Good.  I hope he'll BE quiet, then... @XO: That means YOU, Torghie.  Uh, sir.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@River:  Hey, buddy.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Nods.:: ALL: Yes... Not sure what to make of it. ::Looks closer at the tricorder readings.::

Amb_John_Sea says:
@XO: Ruff! ::puffs on pipe::

MO_Love says:
@::walks along watching River::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@:::looks around:::

FCO_Fielding says:
@River: Hey!  I can smell that smoke from here!  No smoking around patients, please... come smoke next to me if you must.

Amb_John_Sea says:
@<River> ::snarls at the MO and shows teeth::

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Team 1 hears a soft brushing sound nearby.

MO_Love says:
@FCO: How much farther?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::doesn't want to sleep, but his body takes over and he dozes off::

OPS_Webster says:
@CEO: Lt, would you give me a spell and carry the XO.  I'd like to continuously scan the area?  ::voice fades as she hears a noise::

TO_Grayson says:
%All: I don't see anything, must have been the wind...

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Not sure yet.  Lemme get a reading, after I figure out what that Noise was.  OPS: That was NOT my Bwahahaing.

Riverwind says:
@::nips XO::

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: Removes the pips from his collar and polishes them to kill some time::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::shrugs::  CNS:  Shall we keep moving, ma'am?

CNS_Anusia says:
%TO: Could be... ::Isn't too sure.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Nods to the CSO.:: CSO: Yes, we better.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::wakes up::  River:  Is it morning already?

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: No, it wasn't.  I'd prefer if it were.

MO_Love says:
@::adjusts the litter a little so she can get a better grip::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@OPS: how are you doing?

Riverwind says:
@XO: <w> no sleeping ::paws the XO::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%CNS:  You have the working tricorder, perhaps you should lead.  ::shakes her tricorder again::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hm.  Well, let's scan.... ::holds out her tricorder::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@River:  But Mom wants me to...

OPS_Webster says:
@CEO: Here, carry the XO, please.  I'd like to keep an eye on local beasts.

MO_Love says:
@::glares at River:: River: No bothering my patient.

OPS_Webster says:
@::tries to give the front of the litter to the CEO::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::: put the XO over my shoulder and carry him behind the OPS:::

Riverwind says:
@::hops on the XO and sits there with all 130 pounds of his weight:: XO: Now try sleeping

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: I think I just heard you say something about BEASTS???  ::Boggles.  Nearly flunked Survival Training, but passed 'cause she showed up for the final::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::screams out in pain::

Riverwind says:
@MO ::snarls, go away::

OPS_Webster says:
@CEO: Thanks for taking over.  ::gets out tricorder and scans area, moving closer to April::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Sighs and nods.:: CSO: Ok.  ::Looks to the others.:: Let's get a move on. ::Starts leading the way to their goal.::

Riverwind says:
XO: oops <w> broken rib?

MO_Love says:
@::stops and lowers the stretcher:: River: Get off of him.....shoooo

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::follows CNS as she puts the finishing touches on the tricorder then grins as it starts up again::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: I can only tell it's an animal out there, about our size, but not much else.

TO_Grayson says:
%::shrugs and moves away from the brush, getting back with the group and following them::

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Unseen by team 2, a pair of golden eyes watches them, following at a distance, quietly.

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: Wonders if the Starbase will install the new carpet he requested on the bridge::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Ow.  Well, let's keep an eagle tricorder out for it.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@River:  ::winces::  Your paw... is on... my... leg!  The... broken... one!

Riverwind says:
@MO:  ::if you were doing your job you would notice he is falling asleep::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Will do.

MO_Love says:
@CEO: Lt. get that dog away from him will you please?

Riverwind says:
@XO: <w> sorry ::moves his paw::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::tests the tricorder with a wide scan for life and edible plants for food::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Stumbles a bit as she's looking at her tricorder, but easily regains her footing.  Blushes a bit and continues, not looking back.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@River: Hey, c'mere a sec, Cute Doggie... do you Smell any kind of Bad Beasts nearby?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::tries to clear his head of any hallucinations::

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Square unblinking green eyes watch team 2.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@:: pick River up and carry him off:::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::trying to split the MO and Riverwind apart::

MO_Love says:
@River: He's supposed to sleep now......it's been long enough

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Mom... Doctor Love?

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@:: pick River up and carry him off:::

Riverwind says:
@::snaps at the CEO, no touching::

OPS_Webster says:
@::turns around to watch the ruckus at the litter::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Looks like we've got some strong bones working on carrying Torgh... let's see if we could move a bit faster...

MO_Love says:
@::moves to the XO::XO: Commander it's me Dr. Love.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::think i should shoot puppy on Stun:::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  Where's the counselor?  I need to see Anusia... I need...  ::grimaces in pain::

Riverwind says:
@::moves off to see if XO is alright::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%All:  There's some sort of animal behind us....  Suggest we keep moving, doesn't seem harmful.

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Agreed.  As soon as Sara gives the all clear.  She seems to be checking him out now.

FCO_Fielding says:
@XO: Glad to see you're up, Torgh!  Hey... I heard that grimace... get yourself some pain meds!

MO_Love says:
@XO: She's on the other away team Commander, you can see her later.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Keeps a tricorder lock on their goal and looks ahead for a better path.  Sighs as she doesn't see any, then pauses.:: CSO: Ok.. How about double timing it?

Riverwind says:
@FCO :: that depends on your definition of Beast <EG>, points @ MO::

TO_Grayson says:
%CSO: Animal?  ::checks his tricorder::  I'm not picking up any animal.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Right.

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Whatever has been following us, has now stopped. I guess he/she/it is keeping pace with us.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%CNS:  Sounds good to me.  ::straps her tricorder away::  TO:  Well, it's there.  I picked it up.  ::shrugs::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@:feels dizzy and stay walking forward looking around:::

MO_Love says:
@XO: Let me run another scan before we move on. ::takes out her tricorder::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Greaaaaaaaat.  Just what we need... an Unknown Beast...

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  I need to see her now!  I need the counselor!  ::getting agitated::  She has to give me...  ::stops, realizing he shouldn't say anything more::

TO_Grayson says:
%Self: Stupid malfunctioning tricorder.  ::smacks the side of it::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Nods to the others as the start to double time it to their goal.:: ALL: Getting closer...

MO_Love says:
::runs the scan over Torgh's body::

OPS_Webster says:
@::nods:: FCO: My thoughts, too, but he could just be curious, and no threat.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::follows CNS quickly::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::his breathing gets heavier as he becomes more and more panicked::

MO_Love says:
@XO: She has to give you what? ::looks puzzled::

Riverwind says:
@::sniffs the air::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Turns back for a moment.:: TO: You have a malfunctioning tricorder too? ::Turns back to closely monitor their way.::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: True.  Hmmmm, can you tell if the beastie might be scared of smoke?  If so, we could have River light up his pipe...

Riverwind says:
@::twitches his ears::

TO_Grayson says:
%CNS: I dunno, I guess so if it didn't pick up that animal.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: ...not that I think he ever DID cease and desist... ::looks at the Smart Doggie Pensively::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%TO:  I can fix it when we get there, ok?

TO_Grayson says:
%CSO: Sure

Riverwind says:
@FCO: ::puff::

OPS_Webster says:
@::shakes head:: Nope, I can't get that from a scan.  But we don't want to do anything that might antagonize the beast either.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Nods in affirmation as she continues to lead the team.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::follows the CNS::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@MO:  ::through heavy breaths:: I... just need... to see her!

MO_Love says:
@FCO: Lt. I think we'd better get a move on. The Commander here is beginning to show signs of shock.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hm.  Good point.  ::sighs:: I just don't like the idea of walking around here with an injured crewman...

OPS_Webster says:
@::hears the MO and gets ready to move again::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::walking way head of the team looking around:::

Riverwind says:
@::paws the FCO::

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Understood.  Keep him awake, and give him some anti-LPS.

FCO_Fielding says:
@River: Yes, Riverwind?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%CNS:  How much further is it?

MO_Love says:
@CEO: Lt. I need a hand here.

Riverwind says:
@FCO: ::Gimme Huggie::

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: Wonders if the Starbase will install the sauna in his quarters he requested ::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: We have about 10 km to go.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::walks back the MO:::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Inhales deeply to smell the forest as she double times it to their goal.:: Self: This is a nice place...  ::Turns at a tree to make a bee line for their goal.  Hoping she'll make even better time.::

MO_Love says:
@FCO: I'll try ma'am.

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Thanks.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@MO: yes?

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Thanks, Dr. W.  That's not *too* bad...

Riverwind says:
@:: waiting for his hug::

MO_Love says:
@CEO: Ok grab the front.....I'll bring up the rear.

FCO_Fielding says:
@Riverwind: All right, just for you... ::smiles and gives him a HUGGIE::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::get the front start walking fast::

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Nope, I'd estimate another hour's walk. We'll be slowed by the litter, of course.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::forgets what he was screaming about and his breathing slows.  Once again, he falls asleep::

Riverwind says:
@FCO: RUFF ::gives his fur a mighty shake::

MO_Love says:
@CEO: Slow down a bit Lt. my legs are shorter than yours.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::slows a little::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: ::nods:: True.  Let's hope our beastie friend is nice.

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Team 2 hears a low rumbling sound in the distance behind them.

FCO_Fielding says:
@Riverwind: You're so cute when you do that.  You know, I almost think you *can* tell us what to do to get out of this mess.  ::smiles::

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Steps through the forest, intermittently holds branches and bushes for the others to clear.  Pauses in a small clearing and looks to them.:: ALL:  About 10 km more...

OPS_Webster says:
@::moves tricorder back and forth:: FCO: He's continuing to keep pace with us.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::pushes branches out of her way as she follows the CNS, letting Trayz take over a bit, as his army training will help with stamina::

MO_Love says:
@All: What was that?

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Looks directly behind them.:: Self: Uh oh...

TO_Grayson says:
%CNS: What?  ::turns::

OPS_Webster says:
@MO: I didn't hear anything...well, April's stomach rumbling, but that's normal ::Grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::almost runs into the CNS::  CNS:  What is it??  ::looks behind them::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hm.  Wait 'til it's Captain Grift catching a bad case of Conscience... ::grins::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::has nightmare-like visions of a huge lab::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hey, I heard that, and it wasn't a Compliment!  ::but she's smiling::

CNS_Anusia says:
%TO: I thought I heard something...  Some type of rumbling...  Not sure what it was.. is..

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: Team 1 hears a sound like a snort but misses the steam that rose from the nostrils of the animal watching them.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@:: start walking faster again:::

MO_Love says:
@:;picks up the pace::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::stirs in his sleep::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS/MO: Okay, I heard THAT.  And it was NOT my snorting.

OPS_Webster says:
@ALL: OK, that I heard.  It sound like a pig snort...coming from the direction of our beast.

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: You mean a PIGGIE is trying to follow us around?  Oh, great.  Pork slop wasn't my idea of how to go...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%All:  The noise stopped.  I think it's following us or something.  I suggest we keep moving.

CNS_Anusia says:
%::Sighs.:: CSO: Yes!  Maybe triple time it..  If you all agree.

OPS_Webster says:
@FCO: Well, generally, 'piggies' in the wild aren't really pigs...they are mean, viscous animals.  And one of those would probably have attacked us, not followed us.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::shrugs::  CNS:  I can do it, if the TO here can.  ::looks to the TO::

MO_Love says:
@CEO: Let's move faster. You alright up there Lt?

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: Hm, y'think?  Interesting... they sound like slow movers, though.

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::Walks faster and look behind to make sure nothing is behind them::

Riverwind says:
@ ::thinks to himself and smiles, here piggy piggy piggy, and opens his wolf jaws::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
@::Walks faster and look behind to make sure nothing behind them::

FCO_Fielding says:
@OPS: What life-forms are similar to pigs?

TO_Grayson says:
%::grins:: CSO: No problem for me.  I'm not too sure about the ambassador though.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::hopes that her hunch isn't correct::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
%::grins::  All:  He'll keep up.  He's not here for the testing, anyway, so he can leave at any time.  Shall we, then?

Riverwind says:
