Summary - Another hour of time has passed aboard the U.S.S. Scimitar. Lt. Commander Varesh has left, and placed his assistant in charge. Ambassador Cathan has opened a comm. line to the surface and left the bridge, and things are starting to return to normal.

On the surface, Enki has been joined with three new guests, Doctor Plonush, Crewman Red and Commander Maor, all joining Enki via a runabout in hopes of surveying the underground caves discovered earlier...

...oh and lets not forget the device that Pandora found. Good luck everyone.

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looking around in the cavern::  ACIV: We need to get some lights down here... I'm not picking up life signs or power signatures, which means this temperature rise is still a complete mystery

ACTION - Through the shrill wind, Enki can hear the sound of an approaching runabout as the Starfleet vessel tears through the blowing snow, making its way down to the surface.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Is strolling around his sickbay::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Taps her commbadge::  *Runabout*: Incoming runabout, this is Lieutenant Enki.
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Nods to Enki and looks around up into the light above them:: CSO: I believe your other officers have arrived. Perhaps they could lend us a hand in bringing light to these caves?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:: watching World cup Finale of 1978 on the viewscreen ::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::In the Jeffries Tubes, examining the device he found::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances at the runabout viewscreen, he checks their current heading before relaxing back on his seat:: Red: What is the estimated time for arrival?
Crewman_Red says:
XO: A matter of seconds sir::expertly guides the runabout down::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Red: Very well, do you have a lock at the whereabout of the AT?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Repeats her hail::  *Runabout*: Incoming runabout, this is Lieutenant Enki, please respond.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks over some duty rosters and makes some small changes::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Finds the device to be a small box, sending a low frequency carrier wave somewhere. It seems Vatlese in origin:: Self: Now, how could this end up down here?
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::She looks over at Enki and shivers slightly in the cold. As the snow begins to filter down through the hole in the ground, she notices the lights of the runabout as it touches down::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Looks at the viewscreen with a frown.::
Crewman_Red says:
XO:Yes sir, we'll be landing about thirty meters from their curent position

ACTION - The runabout touches down expertly. Apparently Red is a better pilot then she realized...

AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  What is... that?
AMB_Krewls says:
::nods to the viewscreen::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Tries to take the device off, but finds it to be attached pretty good:: Self: This needs some more force.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls:  1978 World cup match, Argentina versus The Netherlands, both the best nations there were in football.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Red: Very good, report to the Scimitar our whereabouts and advice them that we're starting to move again.

ACTION - The voices inside of Kerak's head began to fade into nothingness. A hissing sound fills his ears as the voices fade away and only silence remains.

Crewman_Red says:
@XO: Aye sir ::relays information to the Scimitar::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*CSO*: We'll be with you in a few seconds, stay put in your current location.
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  World cup?  What is a world cup and why would one want to harm each other for this cup?
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Duty_OPS> FCO: Lieutenant, the Runabout Rhein is reporting in. They've made contact with the away team, and are proceeding to land.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks around the room, wandering what the hissing was::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looks at the ACIV::  ACIV: You said you had no knowledge of the existence of these caves?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Shrugs it off and sits down in his new office chair::
Plonush says:
@::Looks around for anything::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: Human history, Loosely translated It's the Earth's Cup in Football. Nations Competed against each other to win it. It's War but then in more Civilized form
ACIV_Armistand says:
@CSO: None at all...::She looks around and runs her hand along the rough stone walls of the cavern:: I'm sure our records would have made mention of such a formation under sacred ground...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Slowly makes his way to the exit of the JT to take some powerful tool::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@ACIV: Perhaps, then, they were recently made.  ::Sets her tricorder to scan for energy residuals, checking to see how long ago these caves formed::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Looks shocked::  FCO:  Your people went to war for a cup?  And people think we are barbaric.

ACTION - Outside of the runabout windows the team can see snow whipping over the transparent aluminum. The flakes tear past their sight and are immediately pulled away by the intense wind. Must be a Winnipeg day.

XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Raises from his sear, he swings a bag over his shoulder and turns to face the doors:: Red: Get your bag and make sure you're armed, we're heading out. ::Opens the door and steps on the surface of the planet::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: Wasn’t war, It was a sport. Nations competed against each other to win it. Call it healthy Competition.
Crewman_Red says:
::grabs a bag filled with supplies and adds some hand phasers before stepping out of the runabout::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Taps her badge again::  *XO*: Commander, before you leave the runabout, you need to gather special equipment.
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  I would say more like detrimental to ones health.  ::Cringes as a group of people land on one individual::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*CSO*: Yes, I know. Both Crewmember Red and I are here with the needed equipment, everything heavy will have to remain in the runabout for now.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Takes some weird cutting device and returns to the small box::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Furrows her brow::  *XO*: Heavy equipment, sir?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: It's a great game, see it like the Romulans trying to spear off the Federation in Technology. Bit the a little less hazardous for ones health.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@*XO*: What heavy equipment?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks around his new office, lets out a groan of relief::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Looks closely at the screen::  FCO: Technology is involved?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Computer: Play some Mozart Computer.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@CSO*: Trust me, Enki. Just trust me.. ::Mumbles something about the ship previous OPS before gesturing to the two officers to follow him::

ACTION - A pair of officers rush into sickbay, a girl can be heard screaming in pain as the smell of burnt flesh fills Kerak's temporary office.

Crewman_Red says:
@::follows the XO::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Leaps up and runs out of the office, grabbing a med-tricorder::
Plonush says:
@::Follows behind the XO::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: I mean in Comparison to. It's competing each other. :: Grins as shot is blocked by the Goalie::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@*XO*: I would, sir, but the situation changed very recently.  I'm standing in a cavern.  I hope you have rope, beacons, and markers.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> ::Yells in pain, holding the plasma burns that cover her face and upper torso::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Looks suspiciously at the FCO::  FCO:  And what did you Humans do to compete healthily to enter space?  Do you expect us to be part of this... healthy competition?
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*CSO*: Understood, we have your life signs on our tricorders. We'll be there in ten.

ACTION - As the trio departs from the Rhein runabout, they see a small hole in front of them - about Enki sided. Hmmm, I wonder what made that?

EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Starts cutting the box loose, taking care he doesn't damage the power conduit::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: we had to do a lot to achieve warp flight and our Space program in that era was also a competition.

ACTION - As Pandora cuts the box free, it makes a very loud, very high pitched whine...and then a puff of smoke can be seen coming from it and the device deactivates.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Scans the women:: Women:: Calm down.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> MO: It hurts!
Plonush says:
@::Looks at the small hole:: Self: What caused that?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Coughs after inhaling some of the smoke, and quickly gets out of the JT, the device still in his hand::
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  Perhaps my people would not appreciate joining the federation after all.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances at the hole, then back at the two officers. He sighs in frustration:: Red, Plounsh: I guess I'm first ::Bends over, he begins to crawl inside::
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Looks up at her assistant Plonush:: Plonush: Our Starfleet friends here did...dear Doctor. Lieutenant Enki decided to take the hands on approach and fell through the ice...
Crewman_Red says:
::blinks several times:: XO: Sir...I'm claustrophobic...maybe I should wait here and guard the hole...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Clears her throat::  Self: I guess you could call it that
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::She smiles sweetly at her hot assistant. If only she could admit her feelings to him:: All: You'll need to come down here...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: I'm talking about my people, Humans. The Federation is compiled of thousands of races
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Crouches out of the JT, and sits down to take a close look at the device::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances back from the hole, he looks up and smiles evilly:: Red: Remind me that later. ::Crawls back and removes his bag, he pulls out a rope:: Plonush: Get something to tie this rope around and we'll start descending.
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  And how do you decide if they are worthy or not of joining?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Finds nothing conclusive, and decides to head back to the bridge, gets up and walks into a TL:: TL: Bridge.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Duty_OPS> ::Notices a beeping on his comm. board and looks up:: FCO: Ummmm...sir...
Crewman_Red says:
@::walks over near the hole to join her fellow officers::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: not my decision, but I believe there are sets of rules.
AMB_Krewls says:
::waits for him to take the message::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Women: Calm down, you got some nasty burns there, ::Gets some Dermaline gel and applies it to her skin::
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> ::Yells in pain as the gel makes contact with her skin. While she doesn't realize it, the burn begins to heal slowly, but the nerves in her body feel as if they're on fire...::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*CSO*: How deep is this fall, Enki?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Duty_Ops: Yes? ::kills game on viewscreen:: 
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Women: look! ::He points at her burns:: There getting better see?.
Plonush says:
@::Looks around for anything stable, and locates - the runabout:: XO: I'll anchor it to part of the runabout. ::Grabs the rope and goes to tie it::
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Duty_OPS> FCO: Sir, I just detected an unauthorized transmission from Deck 6. It appears to have been directed at Valt Minor, sir...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Steps out of the TL, onto the bridge, walks straight to the FCO, holding the device in front of him:: FCO: Sir, I've found this in one of the jeffries tube. It was transmitting some low frequency carrier wave. After I disconnected it, the circuitry burned, and it's now not functional.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Medics: Get a Bio-regenerative field ready for the patient.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> ::Looks at the wound through red, teary eyes...::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looks up at the XO::  XO: Maybe 3 or 4 meters.  5 at the most.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Smiles at the women:: women: See, its okay.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Duty_Ops: send a Security team to Deck 6, Try to retrieve the message.
AMB_Krewls says:
::Sits straighter at OPS comment::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Pandora: try to find out its origins, who could make it and where the stuff to build it came from.
Crewman_Red says:
@::hates the dark too, but leans over and peers into the hole just to check::

ACTION - As Red leans over, she slips on some of the loose snow and tumbles into the hole.

Crewman_Red says:
@::shrieks like a little girl::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
FCO: Aye sir. But Deck 6? I just came from there, and this does pretty much resemble Valtese technology.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Taps her foot impatiently, then sees Red fall into the hole after foolishly leaning over it.  She runs over to her::  Red: Are you alright?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Kerak leads the woman over to the Bio-regenerative field::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@CSO: And we can't jump that? Maybe we need to start some ship wide exercise plan. ::Chuckles::
Plonush says:
@::Finishes tying the rope around one of the chairs inside the small vessel, then returns to the area with one less officer::
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> ::She takes several deep, pained breaths and looks over at the doctor::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Woman: We need to put you in this bio-regenerative field for a while, help heal your skin faster, its okay, it won't hurt.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Duty_Ops: we have the Valtese Diplomatic parties DNA on record?
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Duty_OPS> ::Looks up at Exeter and then back at his information board, bringing up an LCARS directory:: FCO: Yes sir, we should.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Quickly dives in the hole with the rope, he jumps down and catches Red in mid-flight::
ACIV_Armistand says:
@CSO: This is taking way too long...I don't need any lights...::Shes places on hand along the wall and starts moving deeper into the tunnels, looking around slowly::
Plonush says:
@::Drops the remainder of the rope down the hole, and gives it a tug to make sure it's stable::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Pandora: Try to find any organic residue left on it except that of yours.

ACTION – Maor’s hand doesn't have a firm enough grip on the rope and him and Red slide down to the snowy ground - leaving a nasty rope burn on Maor's hand.

EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Nods and walks over to the locker on the back of the bridge, and hopes to find something to gather the organic residue from the device::
Plonush says:
@::Looks at the strange display of...stupidity, shakes his head, and climbs down the rope::
ACIV_Armistand says:
@Plonush: Welcome Doctor...::She continues to move deeper into the caves, looking around::
Crewman_Red says:
@XO: Thank you sir...are you alright though. ::is concerned about her XO's hand::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Curses as he lands on the surface of the craven, he shakes his hand with pain then looks up:: CSO: Don't even say it, unless you want the Gamma shift for the rest of your life.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@XO: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, sir.  Our hosts are leaving us in the dark, though
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Doesn't find any and hopes his tricorder would do the job, takes it out and runs a quick scan of it:: FCO: Nothing sir, except my own, of course.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> ::Lays down on the bio bed and waits for the field to be activated, crying the whole time::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Red: Yes, yes. Just my ego being bruised. ::Takes out a flashlight from his bag, he lights it up:: AT: Let's go. ::Begins to move::
Plonush says:
@::Hurries after Armistand:: ACIV: Thank you. Care for a light? ::Pulls out a small flashlight, and turns it on::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Holds the woman’s hand:: Woman: It'll be okay ::He smiles at her as he activates the field::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: Joining the federation is your governments decision, not mine. I'm a son of Maquis so I don't think highly of the choices the federation makes. Like I said I only serve Starfleet and in that function I'm only a lowly Command staff officer. You want to join the federation that's fine if not then stay independent and see what happens.
Crewman_Red says:
@::Pulls out a light of her own and follows the XO::
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Smiles at the young doctor and looks around at the light as it hits the wall:: Plonush: Very impressive...XO: Commander, I would recommend we split into teams...we may be able to cover more ground...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Follows the XO and Red, watching her tricorder, not caring that they didn't give her a palm beacon or wrist beacon, or so she tells herself::
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  If you do not think highly of the federation, then why are you here?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
EO: Any transporter traces, was it beamed on its place or was it from the Other ship on which the Valtese arrived on?
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@ACIV: Sounds like a plan. ::He turns to face the rest of the crew:: CSO: You and the ACIV will lead one group, me, Red and Plonush will lead the other.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Walks over to a console to check on the information the FCO requested:: FCO: Nothing showing.
Crewman_Red says:
@Sees the CSO doesn't have a light and opens up her bag of gear:: CSO: Can I offer you anything?
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Nods and looks over at Enki:: CSO: It appears young lady that we are stuck together....
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@Red: A wrist beacon, if you have it
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: Explore strange new worlds, to seek out new civilizations to boldly go where no one has gone before. The federation is the only faction in the alpha quadrant interested in exploration. At least 75% of the men and women joined Starfleet because of it.
Plonush says:
@::Nods first to the ACIV, then looks expectantly towards the XO::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
EO: I want to know how and who brought it onboard. Are you 100% sure it's Valtese?
Crewman_Red says:
@::Pulls out a wrist beacon, proffering it to the CSO::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Reads the results of the bio-regenerative field and modifies some settings::
AMB_Krewls says:
::nods her head slowly::  FCO:  I can understand that interest.  But if that is the only reason, perhaps it is not the best thing for my government after all.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@Red: Thanks.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Red: Give her your AT kit bag, that's why we arranged for two kits. ::Turns to face the CSO:: CSO: Keep in contact every ten minutes, we'll do the same. Good luck.
Crewman_Red says:
XO: Sorry sir ::hands the CSO the whole bag - except for her lucky phaser::
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  Besides, the Valtese device is probably Cathan's.  He has no business being here.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Takes the bag, feeling a little like a pack mule::  Self: Gees, what's in here?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: how do you mean?
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Starts moving down the tunnel and looks over towards Enki, hoping the Trill officer will follow behind her and they can get this mystery solved::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Orders a Nurse to monitor the woman as he goes of to a computer to do some reading::
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  Who else do you think would have anything to do with that device?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Duty_OPS: please inform Ambassador Cathan to report to the bridge
Plonush says:
@XO/Red: We should start moving. Let's go.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::Looks at the ACIV, then follows::  ACIV: My tricorder indicates that these caves are only a few months old.  That explains why they were undiscovered until now.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Sits down behind a console, searching for information on Valtese technology::
Crewman_Red says:
@::Babies her lucky phaser and follows Plonush and the XO::

ACTION - Approximately 30 minutes later...the team has reached deeper into the caves, and Cathan has still not come to the Scimitar bridge.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Finishes reading basic medical care on the computer:: Self: Ah, so that’s how you do it...
AMB_Krewls says:
FCO:  You think he would admit to anything?  While he says he wants this to succeed, in reality, he wants it to fail.  He has done nothing but set things up for failure.
Plonush says:
@::Walking along, sweeping a light over the walls. Suddenly, he trips and falls into the snow and ice, face first:: All: Ow!
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
@::After walking some time::  ACIV: Did you notice the caves are smoother here?  ::Runs her hand along the wall::  It would take a laser to do something like this.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Walks over to the woman in the bio-regenerative field::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: It could be you who planted the Device. ALL: I still Don't know what the Device is.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Sighs as he hears another crew member falling, he turns to face the fallen officer:: Plonush: Are you okay? ::Extends a hand to help him up::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Woman: How are you feeling? ::He checks some readings::
ACIV_Armistand says:
@::Looks around at the walls and runs her hand along the stone:: CSO: Yes...the stone is warmer here...
AMB_Krewls says:
::Sniffs::  FCO:  I don't need to plant a device to sabotage anything.  I have other means if I so choose to do so.
ACIV_Armistand says:
<Woman> MO: Much better...thank you doctor...::She stays laying on the bio bed and looks up at him with a smile::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
FCO: Sir, I have done some research, and found the following. I quote. The device found is a long-range transmitter. It's used to send simple coded signals, and was used mainly during the Kriosian/Valtese war. Unquote.
Plonush says:
@::Grabs onto Maor's hand:: XO: Yes, I seemed to have lost my footing... ::Looks where he tripped in the snow, and finds a small something partially buried:: XO: What's this?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Woman: See, it wasn’t that bad was it. ::Smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Plonush: No idea, can you dig it out?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:;Looks at the Ambassador:: EO: by both factions?
Plonush says:
@::Nods, kneels, then looks to Crewman Red:: Crewman: Help me, please. ::begins to dig::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Gets a shovel out from his bag, he begins digging as well::
Crewman_Red says:
@::kneels next to Plonush and starts digging::
AMB_Krewls says:
::Returns the FCO's look::
Plonush says:
@XO: Sir, it's quite...stuck, it seems. ::Tries vainly to dig it out::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Woman: Everything seems fine now ma'am, your free to go, ::He deactivates the field and helps her up::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@Plounsh: What does the tricorder says?
Plonush says:
@::Takes out his tricorder, and scans the item::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Duty_Ops: contact Maor and ask a for a status Report when  he can?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Checks his research:: FCO: Negative, only the Valtese used it, but that doesn't prove anything.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Krewls: Till further Notice I'm Detaining Both Diplomatic Parties to there Quarters

ACTION - Plonush digs at the device and the ground near it seems warm. As he goes to scan the odd looking device, it overloads, and in a painful blast, the Kriosian Doctor in incinerated - his body turning to dust in an instant. The device beeps in the ground several times and deactivates. Again, Valtese in design...
