Ice In The Veins, Part 2

Summary: The Kraken and her academic guests discover a planet hidden by some kind of dampening field. A probe is used to scan the planet, and readings show a temperate climate - when an away team beams down, however, they are greeted by minus 50 Celsius temperatures.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::drops to a knee as he's hit by the cold, unable to breathe::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::slowly and painfully looks down at her tricorder, trying to get some readings::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@All: ...Ca...cave, fifty...meters. ::points::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::falls over as his foot sinks deep into snow::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::Stands back up and looks where Ix is pointing:: All: Le... let's move! ::moves towards Green to help him along::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@::takes a breath, instantly regrets it as her lungs fill up with painfully cold air. Hears the CSO:: CSO: Good work! ::shivers, wrapping her arms around herself:: CTO: Take point!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::moves to help Dr Green up:: Green: We ... have to go...Doctor.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.:: *Transporter Room 1*:  This is the Captain, beam that survival package asap, same coordinates.

Host SMurf says:
<Dr_Green> @::fights to get up with the help and moves forward::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::forces one foot in front of the other, trudging through the snow towards the cave::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::can feel the cold eating into her skull, the pain becoming more acute. Waits to make sure her team is on the move and takes up the rear::

Host SMurf says:
@ SCENE: The snow crunches underfoot.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::can feel it in his marrow, fighting to keep his mind from breaking::

Host SMurf says:
<Transporter Room 1> *CO*: Aye Sir, working on it.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::fights against the snow, as her feet go a little too far down each time she sets them on the ground. This is probably her worse field trip yet, and she has done plenty::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::forgets which foot she's putting in front of which, and stumbles to her knees. Stays still for a moment before struggling to her feet again, looking around before following her team::

Host SMurf says:
@ACTION: The crew are less than ten metres from the cave entrance when ice below the CSO cracks and she disappears beneath it.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@All: Aaaahhhh

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@CSO: IX! ::moves towards the crack and peers into it::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::turns to Professor Zehn.::  Prof_Zehn:  Since I sent my Chief Science Officer on this away mission, I'd appreciate if you put that team of yours to work on figuring out how to get my people back...Professor.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@::sees Ix disappear and gasps, coughing as her lungs freeze. Trudges forward to the edge of the ice:: CSO: Ensign!

Host SMurf says:
@SCENE: With every second, the CSO feels the life draining from her, the pain is immense. She fights to the surface, struggling to find the gap in the ice before passing out. She can be seen rising to just a few inches from the surface.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::lies down and crawls to the edge, can't feel her hands any more, but keep going, hoping the ice will hold under her now that her weight is spread out::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::grabs hold of one of Ix's hands and starts pulling her out::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::helps remove Ix from the water, trying to shield her from the winds:: All: We have to get to the cave!

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO: Of course, Captain. ::looks deadly serious for once:: Please, give me access to the probe readings.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@CTO: Get her into the cave. ::groans as moving becomes increasingly difficult. Stays still, getting disorientated::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Is on the bridge, putting the final touches to the care package, including high factor sun cream and radiation treatments::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::moves with Ix towards the cave, his arms wrapped around her::

Host SMurf says:
@ACTION: A survival package is beamed down to the original coordinates, and the crew all make it to the cave entrance.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::sits Ix down inside the cave, and starts looking around for a sizeable rock::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Computer:  Computer, provide computer access to Professor Zehn and his team, Authorization A'an one alpha tango.

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> All: She's... quick! ::points at the CSO, who has stopped breathing::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO: Thank you. ::starts analysing the data::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::struggles the last few feet into the cave entrance. Looks around, making sure they lost no-one:: Green: Get those wet... ::shudders, shakes her head:: Green: The clothes. They... ::gives up trying to explain and goes over to Ix herself:: CTO: Rocks, hot, now!

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Gives a quick glance between Zehn and A'an, and then tries to ignore the tension between them, with little success::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::gives a wink at Torel::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::brings a pair of rocks towards Ix, setting them on the ground and fumbling with his phaser, taking aim and firing, trying to superheat the rocks::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS:  I need you to put everything into getting our communication with the away team back. Try launching a series of probes using the first as a guide, see if we can penetrate deeper and get closer to the planet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::collapses beside Ix, opens her medkit and shoots the CSO with adrenaline. Begins to remove her own jacket and the CSO's::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Sees the wink, and smiles as she lowers her head to the console::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::looks to Suder:: XO: P-pulse?

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::returns to the readings::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Raises her head quickly, hearing herself addressed by the Captain:: CO: I'll do what I can Captain.  It's my top priority.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::turns away from Zehn's latest display of inappropriate behaviour and grunts slightly...idiot.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@CSO: C'mon, Ix... ::lies her down on her back, pressing her fingers against the CSO's neck, realises she can't feel anything with her fingers and goes clumsily for a tricorder instead:: CTO: More heat. We need to dry off. ::scans Ix::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Taps rapidly on the panels at her station, and quickly has a half dozen probes ready for launch.::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::looks to Green:: Green: Help me gather rocks. ::moves about to find more::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::taps his combadge.:: Engineering:  Captain A'an to Engineering, whats the latest on getting through this energy field and making orbit?  We need a way through people, contact Professor Zehn and give him anything he needs.  This is priority one.  A'an out.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CTO: Faint pulse... ::shivers uncontrollably, leans over CSO, lifts her chin and starts mouth-to-mouth::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::frantically looks around for rocks, no matter the size::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::starts breathing and opens her eyes, scared::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::breathes heavily, his lungs acclimatizing, his body sluggish as he brings a few sizeable stones towards the pile, again firing on them with his phaser::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> Aloud: Well, I'll be a Ferengi called Susan...

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Whips her head around, with a raised eyebrow, towards Zehn::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Stops...thinking for a moment, then turns to Zehn.::  Prof_Zehn:  You found something?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::notices the Suder over her, not sure yet what is going on:: XO: Cold...

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Murmurs:: Zehn: I would have though you more a Phillippa....

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::takes a gasp of relief:: CSO: That's it, good. Welcome back, Ensign... ::can feel the place getting marginally warmer:: CSO: Let's get you warmed up. C'mon, help me get these wet clothes off.

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral Jackson> ::stands up::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: I'm ready to launch the probes Sir

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO/OPS: Oh-ho, yes I found something. Hold on the probes!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::takes every breath deliberately as every muscle in her body, plus some bones ache::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Motions to Torel to wait.::  Prof_Zehn:  Let's hear it.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Stops herself pressing the launch button, unless otherwise commanded by the Captain::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> XO: Will she be okay? ::looks very worried::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::grabs her own uniform jacket that's marginally dryer that the CSO's and rests it beside her as she helps the CSO out of her tunic:: CSO: We'll get you warmed up now. Didn't expect you to go for a bath, Ensign... ::keeps chatting, knowing it's the best way to keep her focus::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO: Er.. perhaps your ready room would be best, Captain?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::continues to gather and heat rocks until there's sufficient heat coming off them; notices something when he looks out the entrance::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Wonders what it could be, if it means discussing it in private, and starts to feel a trickle of worry about the AT::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::smiles slightly at the XO's comment and does what she can to remove her clothes:: XO: And after the bath I could do with a nice and warm fire.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Straightens, less than thrilled to hear that kind of news, then motions for Professor Zehn to follow him.:: OPS:  You have the bridge, Ensign Torel, keep our people at it.

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::walks into the ready room::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::is shaking from the cold all the way, feeling only a tiny bit better without her clothes. For the moment she doesn't even consider how much her body is exposed::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Walks into his ready room.:: Prof_Zehn:  Alright, let's have it...

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> ::follows Zehn and the CO into the ready room::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Moves forward to take control of the bridge, a little nervously, as it's the first time she's done so::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CSO: We'll have to make do with these nice, warn rocks Sumner's laid out for you. ::nods to Green in the afirmative, as she wraps her own jacket around the CSO; shoulders:: CSO: Let's get you closer to the heat, before the Lt. gets offended...

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
<warm>

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::sighs and looks over to the CTO:: CTO: What is it?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@ ::kneels down by the rocks, hesitating to remove his clothing just yet:: XO: I think... the ship sent a c-care package after us... I c-can s-see supplies at our original position.

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> CTO: Then we have to get them.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::nods and walks on:: XO/CTO: Thank you. ::Sits beside the rocks, feeling the warmth return some energy into her body::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO: Well, I kind of wanted a private audience...

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::shudders, glancing up at CTO, surprised:: CTO: We warm up first. Once Ensign Ix is out of the woods you and I will go out for it.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Takes a quick glance at the arm console, just reassuring herself that the probes are still ready for launch::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::looks like he wants to argue, but nods his head, peeling off his jacket and shirt::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::glances at the Admiral.:: PRof_Zehn:  Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of the Admiral...now, were wasting time.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CTO/Green: Get your wet clothes off, dry them out... ::sits close behind the CSO and gently wraps her arms around her, trying to help warm her up as a good speed:: CSO: Normally I require dinner and a movie before I get this close to someone, but I think I'll make an exception today.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::as she warms up, the pain of the fall intensifies. But for the moment she tries to keep it out of her mind::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> XO: There must be some warm clothes or blankets we could get for her?

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Relaxes in the chair slightly, and realises that the Admiral is feeling...restricted.  Like he's holding something back.::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::looks around the ready room:: CO: But, er, really... ::hesitant::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::struggles to get his boots off:: Green: Our b-best bet now is to get d-dry; our bodies will do the rest.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Shakes her head slightly, wondering if her lessons with Suder have either made her more sensitive, or just plain old misreading of people::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> ::gives Zehn a strict look::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::nods, part of her uncomfortable with the proximity of the XO, part not carnying about it and part happy for it::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: I will buy you dinner later.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Starts to loose his patience.:: Prof-Zehn:  Professor, I'm loosing my patience, now spill it!

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> CO: Okay, well, you asked for it. The probes... they've been sabotaged.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Jerks her head slightly, towards the direction of the ready room as a mental waft of worry hits her.  Less a waft in fact, more a pungent odour of strong worry::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::mouth drops open slightly, shocked.::  Prof_Zehn:  Excuse me?!

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::disrobes completely and lays his clothes by the rocks, giving them another burst from the phaser and shifting towards Suder and Ix:: Green: G-get in close, Doctor...

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::chuckles, glances around the cave, making sure Green and CTO are doing OK, too:: CTO/Green: Stay close to us. I don't want anyone disappearing off.

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::Aware that Torel is trying to read him:: CO: And it's done by either someone who is a whizz when it comes to security hacking, or someone ::looks to Jackson:: with an Admiral level clearance.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: The phasers won't keep us alive for long. Perhaps further inside the cave the temperature is higher.

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> XO: I have to get out there, get those supplies. This is my fault. ::darts out of the cave::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Looks over to the Admiral, then back to Zehn. :: All: Gentlemen, follow me.  ::turns and heads back onto the bridge.:: OPS: Yellow Alert Ensign.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@Green: No! Damn it! ::bolts after the doctor and tries to tackle him::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Nods to the Captain, taking the ship to yellow alert before moving back to OPS::

Host SMurf says:
@ACTION: Green is gone.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CSO: Once you're up to it we'll... ::hears and see Green disappear:: All: Dammit! What the- ::see the CTO go after him:: CTO: for the love of- ::grunts and gets up:: Self: Swear to Rixx, those men are idiots.

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Kraken goes to Yellow Alert, the colour of jaundice filling the decks.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::taps his combadge.:: *ALL*:  This is the Captain, sound general quarters.  All unauthorized personnel are hereby confined to quarters until further notice.  Security to all decks...

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::stops short of leaving the cave, and returns to the rocks:: XO: Damned fool...

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: It is the male hormones. ::looks out to where the men have gone::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Gives a not-so-surprised look at the Captain, and wonders what Zehn discovered::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::picks up her tricorder and scans out the mouth of the cave:: CSO: Sometimes, I think Starfleet would be better off being all female... ::thinks: would certainly simplify my life!::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO/CTO: He will have to be out there twice as long as we did. And if he falls again ....

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::turns to Admiral Jackson and Zehn.:: All: that doesn’t include the two of you. ::points at Zehn.:: OPS:  Ensign Torel, Professor Zehn believes the probe was tampered with, I want you to confirm his readings.  Zehn: YOU..stay put.  Admiral, if you'll follow me please.  ::walks back to the ready room.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CTO: You see where he went? Outside: Dr. Green!

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@XO/CSO: Let's save the gender politics until we're not dying, shall we? ::looks towards the read of the cave, struggling just to keep standing:: We should move further in, if Ix can do so.

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> Aloud: Yeah, you're welcome...

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Watches the Captain leave the bridge again, and turns to give a querying look at Aryn:: Zehn: Tampered how?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO/CTO: I can move, yes.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Starts to look at the same readout that Zehn was investigating::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::moves over to OPS:: OPS: Sure you don't want to fish around in my mind for that answer?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::uses her soaked jacket to gather up some more rocks::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> ::in the ready room:: CO: I am just here to observe, Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CTO/CSO: All my medical and starfleet training is telling me to stay put, but we can't just let him die.  ::smacks the side of her tricorder and run another set of scans, scanning particularly for minimal temperature spikes::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Walks back into the ready room, waits for the door to close behind Admiral Jackson.::  Admiral: I understand that Admiral...given the nature of this discovery....It brings questions to light.  Questions I don't want to ask, but for the sake of my crew, I'm going to ask them anyway.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::continues to review the probe data as she replies:: Zehn:  Maybe I'm not sure i want to see in there.  Seems easier to just ask.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: I agree. You two should get him. I will be alright.

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> ::raises a hand:: CO: Don't insult me, Captain.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::shakes his head:: XO: We go out there, we're only adding to the casualty list.

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> OPS: You might find something you like. ::grins::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Turns to face the Admiral.:: Admiral_Jackson: Admiral, I just learned that someone sabotaged my ship, and now I have an away team in Prophets knows what condition.  Besides...the questions I'm going to ask might not be what you expect.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::steps back in from the mouth of the cave, almost as cold again as she was before:: CTO: That's the logical conclusion, but.. ::shudders, watching Ix for a moment:: CTO: I can't lose another life... ::glances back at the cave entrance:: CSO: Can you make sense of this? ::hands her over the tricorder, the readings indicating that only days prior the climate was very different, above 0 degrees::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> CO: Unless you're going to ask me what colour underwear I am wearing, I think I can pretty much guess what you're going to ask. So get it over with, Ask your damned questions.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::takes the tricorder and looks at the readings, squinting::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Finds the tampering to give false readings::  Zehn: Well, looks like I didn't need to go looking in there, when I've found it here ::Points to the console::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Tries to hold back her nature to respond to Zehn, and instead act like an officer::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::grabs Kesh by the shoulders, his body getting increasingly tired:: XO: This one isn't your fault... ::swallows lightly:: Neither were the other ones. We go out there, we lose four people instead of one.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@All: I have only seen this in atmosphere-less planets with very fast orbits....

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Sighs, and then starts to do a diagnostic on the 6 probes she had prepared to launch::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::dives back into the cave, carrying as much supplies as he could::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::looks up::CTO/XO: Or artificial climates.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Admiral_Jackson:  Before I was reinstated...I had a visitor.  I'm not going into details Admiral, but they made the distinct impression that there was more going on here than just a trial.  So, I'm going to ask...why are you here?  Not the role Admiral, the reason, why are YOU here.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::looks relieved as Green returns:: Green: You are in trouble Doctor.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::looks towards the entrance, stunned for a moment, then moves to help Green with the supplies::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::The shake from the CTO jars her out of her confusion:: CTO: get yourself and IX in further into the cave. Scan for life signs. Stay in contact... I'll take what dry clothes we have and find him. He can't be far...

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> CO: I am here simply to observe how the command crew function, Captain. ::looks him squarely in the eye:: You have my word.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::turns, sees Green dives back in:: Green: Dammit, Doctor. What do you think you are, a yeti?!

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> XO: I got them didn't I? ::manages a grin as his teeth clatter together:: But my toes.. Agh... ::sits down::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::opens a package and breathes a sigh of relief, handing out dry clothing and blankets to the others, as well as some medical supplies::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Takes a few steps towards the Admiral.:: Admiral_Jackson:  I know your a good officer Admiral, you wouldn't have made it this far up the chain of command if you weren't, but you have to admit if there were EVER an example of courting Emotional Compromise, this would be it.  Its text book.  So again, I have to ask, did you request this or ...was it assigned to you.. Someone wants us at each others throats, and I need to know who! cont....

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ducks in under Green's arm and gently holds him up:: Green: Success does not mean you did the right thing. You almost had us all going out after you. Next time... ::moves forward into the cave with the dumbass of a doctor:: Dr: Do what I tell you to.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::gladly accepts the clothes and a blanket from Sumner::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> OPS: I'll get back to those sensor readings. ::turns:: And feel free to try to and read my mind. ::flashes a grin at her::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> CO: No, that's enough of your questions. You're wasting valuable time.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Can't help but grin back at the blonde Betazoid, which remains on her face, despite the diagnostic showing that the other probes were also tampered with::

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> XO: Everyone is alive, no harm done.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Starts to work on trying to reprogramme the first probe::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@Green: Something about ends and means... ::throws a blanket towards him, and wraps another around Suder::

Host SMurf says:
<Aryn_Zehn> ::walks back to his console telling himself how easy Torel is to impress::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ Dr: We'll see when we get out of those clothes. C'mon... CTO: Grab the blanket, help Ix. We'll track back for the rest fo the supplies in a minute.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::nods her thanks to CTO::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Admiral_Jackson: Its MY time Admiral, its MY ship...your just here to observe, remember? So, until I'm no longer in command, I will ask any questions I deem necessary!  ::Takes a breath, then nods.::  Admiral_Jackson:  But your right...for the moment anyway.  Still, given the nature of the tampering...I'm going to have to ask that you cont....

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
...return to your quarters until this is resolved.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::shakes his head again:: XO: We have enough here for now; we need to wait until we recover a bit before we go back out there.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Gets a vague impression of smugness from Zehn and resists throwing a nearby padd at him::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> CO: No, I don't think so.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ ::thinks:: CTO: Agreed. Campfire, then we go on the hike. All: Let's move.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@CTO: Or until we manage to contact the ship.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
<contact>

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Admiral_Jackson:  For your own safety Admiral.  Like the man said...it was either someone who knew what they were doing...or had an Admiral's clearance.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::carries the care package and drags his parcel of rocks behind him as he heads towards the back of the cave::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@::moves, slowly, tricordering::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CSO: Artificial climate, then? Any thoughts...

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Admiral_Jackson: And like I said, its my ship...and I'd rather you went on your own than hauled off the bridge in cuffs.  Your choice.  Now...as you said, I'm wasting time.  ::turns and leaves the ready room.::  OPS: report...

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::As she corrects the first probe, tries to keep an eye for any evidence of the culprit::

Host SMurf says:
<Admiral_Jackson> ::walks onto the bridge and takes his seat::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: There is nothing natural about the dampening field around the planet. Perhaps all of this is a way to ward off intruders, or even kill them. What I don't understand is how they knew we were coming.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: I have confirmed that the probe was tampered with, and that the ones i was about to launch also have been.  I'm working on correcting it Sir

Host SMurf says:
@<Dr_Green> ::changed and wrapped in blanket:: All: So, now what?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS: I need to know by who, round up every name that had access to them and cross reference it with those who had the expertise to pull this off.  ::Glances over at the Admiral and shakes his head.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
@ CSO: They? You think This planet is inhabited? Could it not be in an automated cycle? ::walks along slowly helping Dr. Green::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Reaches out tentatively, and mentally touches the edge of Zehn's mind, out of curiosity::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
@XO: I wouldn't go that far. "They" might be the long dead Hyamy. This place might be on auto pilot. It is too early to tell.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
Professor_Zehn:  Professor, I trust your working on this as well?  I'd like to get eyes on my people.
