<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Arca says:
::in their quarters playing with the kids::
CIV_Turok says:
::On the bridge preparing battle drills::
FCO_Newell says:
::on the bridge at the helm resuming patrol of the Badlands::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::getting her uniform on so she can resume her duties::
XO_Arca says:
::carries the kids to their room and puts them to bed::
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: Ready for some drills Lieutenant?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Mark: Honey you coming up to the bridge later?
XO_Arca says:
::grabs his jacket and steps out of their quarters:: CO: I'll meet you on the bridge.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::continues to dress and fix her hair::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors detect an energy surge from the 3rd planet in the nearest system. Computers indicate that the planet is void of any level of civilization.
XO_Arca says:
::steps inside a turbo lift:: TL: Bridge.
FCO_Newell says:
CIV: Sure, but I'm detecting an energy surge from the third planet in the nearest system.  The planet is void of any level of civilization though, Commander.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::finally finished she checks the children and puts on the motion sensor around their crib and leaves their quarters for the TL and the bridge::
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: Interesting, can you isolate what type of energy it is and it's exact location?
FCO_Newell says:
::checks sensors and begins before answering:: CIV: I can try, sir.
XO_Arca says:
::steps of the turbo lift:: ALL: Good morning everyone.
XO_Arca says:
::moves over to his chair::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::the turbo lift stops on the bridge and she takes the first step in two weeks onto the bridge::
CIV_Turok says:
XO: Good morning sir.
FCO_Newell says:
XO: Good morning, sir. I'm detecting an energy surge from the third planet in the nearest system.  Attempting to isolate and pinpoint its exact location now.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: Good morning everyone.  Good to be back in the so called saddle.
XO_Arca says:
CIV: Is it a threat to the ship?
CIV_Turok says:
XO: None detected at this time sir.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Good morning Captain. How are you feeling? ::still attempting to isolate the source of the energy surge::
XO_Arca says:
CO: Morning sir.
XO_Arca says:
CO: Sensors have detect a storm in a near by system. Analysing the storm now
FCO_Newell says:
CO/XO: The energy is thermo-nuclear and it's location is ::checks sensors:: the polar cap.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::slowly walks to her chair:: XO: Good morning to you too sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Good stay on it.
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: The planet is uninhabited correct?
FCO_Newell says:
CIV: Correct. Commander.
CIV_Turok says:
XO: Perhaps we should take the ship a bit closer for further examination.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CIV: We could do that but perhaps at this point maybe a probe would be advisable?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Do you concur?
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: Are you reading any radiation from the source?
XO_Arca says:
CO: I agree but I would like to take any precaution we can.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors register and explosion due to the energy build-up.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Agreed which is why I sug......what in the name of Kahless was that?
FCO_Newell says:
::checking sensors:: CO/XO: It was an explosion due to the energy buildup, sirs.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: I thought you said it was void of life?
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: Are there any other energy readings coming from the planet?
FCO_Newell says:
CO: I did say that, sir.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Isolate the explosion and analysis.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Lets find out what we can from the data of the explosion.  If there is no life on the planet then where was the energy build up coming from?
XO_Arca says:
CO: I suggest that the CIV and CSO go through the data sir
FCO_Newell says:
XO: Aye sir.
XO_Arca says:
::looks around for the CSO:: *CSO*: Sojyngra report to the bridge
CSO_Sojyngra says:
*XO*: On my way, Sir.
FCO_Newell says:
::begins to isolate the explosion and analysis as ordered::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I agree.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: ETA to the planet?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at the XO::  XO: We have new crew?
XO_Arca says:
CO: Basically.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: So tell me about our new CSO.
CIV_Turok says:
::Checking the composition of the planet::
XO_Arca says:
CO: She stay mainly to herself and this is her first posting outside of research.
FCO_Newell says:
XO: 27 minutes to the planet, Commander.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Really how fascinating.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::enters the bridge in an obvious hurry, but composed:: XO: I'm sorry, sir. I had been working on an experiment in the lab that involved biological samples and about an hour ago the computer alerted me that some of them were showing growth. I irradiated them, so they won't pose any danger to the crew.......I had a defective stasis unit. It won't happen again.
XO_Arca says:
CSO: That  is quiet alright ensign.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Slow down Ensign.
XO_Arca says:
CSO: We need your skills the CIV will get you up to speed.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Relax we don't bite.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors begin picking up life signs.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::whispering to her husband:: XO: She is quite the spitfire. ::smiling::
XO_Arca says:
CO: Reminds me of someone else I know.
FCO_Newell says:
CO/XO: Picking up life signs, sirs.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
 ::takes a deep breath, half to relax the rest of the way and half from seeing a Klingon::
XO_Arca says:
CIV: Commander bring the Ensign up to speed.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
XO: Aye, Sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO;Well......I wouldn't go that far.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: What!?!
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::goes over to the CIV:: CIV: I am to report to you. What do I need to know, Sir?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: You are picking up WHAT??????
FCO_Newell says:
XO: Life signs, sir.  I'm picking up life signs on this supposedly uninhabited planet.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Identify life signs.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Can you identify whether they are human or other?
FCO_Newell says:
XO/CO: I can try, Sirs.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Also scan for any space faring devices.
FCO_Newell says:
::scanning to check the identity of the life signs::
FCO_Newell says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::listening while still looking in the direction of the CIV, trying to catch up as quickly as possible::
CIV_Turok says:
CSO: We had readings of a power buildup followed by an explosion on the planet, now apparently we have life on what is suppose to be an uninhabited planet.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CIV: What do we know about the exploitation?  Do we know the type of detonation?
CIV_Turok says:
CSO: The power buildup was thermonuclear in nature.
FCO_Newell says:
XO/CO: The life signs are humanoid, Sirs.  Still scanning for space faring devices.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Send all this data to the CIV and CSO.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::hears the CIV and what he said::  CIV: Did you say thermo nuclear?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CIV: ::raises a slanted eyebrow::
XO_Arca says:
CO: Briefing in 20 minutes sir?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Make it in ten.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: All this sounds way out of place.
XO_Arca says:
CIV/CSO: Go through the data and prepare to present in 10 minutes
CIV_Turok says:
CO: Yes sir, thermo nuclear.
FCO_Newell says:
XO: Aye sir, ::begins streaming the data to the CSO and CIV::
FCO_Newell says:
XO: No evident technology, sir. No structures on the surface.
XO_Arca says:
FCO: Thank you Lieutenant.
XO_Arca says:
CO: Looks like prime direct just kicked in.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Can you scan deep into the planet to see if there are underground caves perhaps?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: In more ways than one I am afraid.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: I can try, Captain. ::attempts to scan deep into the planet::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Isn't thermo nuclear part of the 20th century or the 21 st?
FCO_Newell says:
CO: I'm reading pockets under the surface that could indicate caverns, Captain.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Maybe an AT would be in order after the briefing.
CIV_Turok says:
::Begins collating the received data::
XO_Arca says:
CO: Yes maybe there was a civilization once and one of there device just went off
XO_Arca says:
CO: Well sir will all do respect I would like to here the CIV/CSO findings first.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Or.... maybe they went into hiding in these so called caverns and made their civilization there.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CIV: Is it possible that this could have been an accidental occurrence, caused by the introduction of the wrong catalyst or an experiment gone wrong rather than nuclear weapons, especially with the lack of evident fortified facilities on the planet? I know it sounds crazy, but I don't want to rule out the benign prematurely.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I do understand your caution and I too would say the same thing were you the CO.
CIV_Turok says:
CSO: It is possible it was an experiment, but I would prefer to reserve judgement until we have more data.
XO_Arca says:
::moves back to his seat:: FCO: When we arrive lets stay at a high orbit till we learn more.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CIV: As would I. I was only suggesting that this may be either benign or malignant either one. Do we know if it was hot fusion or cold fusion yet?
FCO_Newell says:
FXO: Aye sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I do agree with the high orbit.  No use in getting into any danger just yet.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::was internally irritated by her own lack of communication skills. What she was saying and what she meant were two totally different things.::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The life signs slowly disappear.
XO_Arca says:
CO: Aye sir
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::looks over sensor readings:: ::scans radiation levels on the planet::
FCO_Newell says:
::looking at sensors:: XO: The life signs are slowly disappearing sir.
CIV_Turok says:
CSO: It very well could be either and I appreciate your thought process, how would you suggest we proceed with the investigation?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Try to find out if they are going below the surface.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: That would confirm my theory.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  ::checks scans::
XO_Arca says:
CO: Or the storm is affecting our sensor readings.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CIV: I think we should start by trying to determine as much as we can about the materials and the type of fusion. It might give us enough to start hypothesizing about the cause.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I hope not.
CIV_Turok says:
CSO: Very well, let's get started, shall we?
