CTO_Esjam says:
<could>

OPS_Jameson says:
%CTO: Okay sir

@ ::smiles sweetly:: CSO: well, you never know...I might twist my ankle or something!

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Covers his eyes:: XO: This will be tough

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO/MO: I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop bickering...::smiles::

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: Aye Sir..

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO: Tam, see if you can find out what happened to the inhabitants here

XO_Toorain says:
@FCO: Welcome to the surface.  Please fall in step ::keeps walking::

CEO_Lira says:
% CTO: Aye Sir

MO_Suder says:
@ CSO/XO: try breathing in through you mouth and out through your nose, saves teh body's moisture that way...

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO/CTO: Please keep me informed of your progress please, reports every half hour should suffice

XO_Toorain says:
@::raises an eye-ridge:: MO: I think I just learned something....

OPS_Jameson says:
%Self:  wow, look at all that.

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS: Anya, keep an eye out for any technology or clues to what these buildings are. Access to a computer terminal may be useful

MO_Suder says:
@ ::squints over at XO:: XO: Yes sir...if course...

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: On Ferenginar we don't exactly worry about losing weight

XO_Toorain says:
<water>

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Very faintly, as if far off in the distance, the city team hears what sounds like hammering... or is that their imagination?

XO_Toorain says:
@COMM: CO: Understood, sir.

MO_Suder says:
@ XO: I can guess why too sir...well, in this climate, every drop counts...

OPS_Jameson says:
%CTO: Not to state the obvious sir, but there seems to be an odd sound from somewhere?

CTO_Esjam says:
%COM CO: Sir, we are investigating a ruined, deserted city. Nothing further to report

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Starts looking around and hears a noise ::

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS: Are you sure you aren't imagining it?

SO_Farewell says:
%::keeps regular scan sweeps of the area, looking for any life signs if they  may appear and monitoring the readings intensity::

XO_Toorain says:
@::punches some buttons on the tricorder::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Toorain's team arrives at the foot of the largest pyramid, after a dry and dusty walk.

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Walks over to one of the ruins and looks around ::

MO_Suder says:
@ CSO: you mentioned your ribs were sore earlier, should i take a look at them when we return?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Toorain's team also hears a faint, far off hammering sound

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO SO: You two hear anything?

MO_Suder says:
@ ::listens carefully:: CSO/XO: you two get that?

XO_Toorain says:
@::looks around the base of the pyramid::

CEO_Lira says:
%CTO: Yes Sir I do

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Takes his tricorder out and begins scanning:: XO: Hmmmmmm, the readings are getting stronger than before sir

XO_Toorain says:
@::frowns::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Yes....

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Can you pinpoint the source of the sound?

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Raises his head and listens:: Self: Good lord

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The sounds are faint, far off, ghostly; the teams question whether they are hearing them, or imagining them

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: What kind of readings?  Anything more specific?

OPS_Jameson says:
%::Tries to locate the origin of the sound::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::look sat XO:: XO: sir, you have the best hearing here, care to describe it exactly for us?

SO_Farewell says:
%::listens carefully::  CTO: I'm gonna try to now..  ::reconfigures his tricorder to track the found hammering sound to it's origin::

CEO_Lira says:
%:: Looks at the readings on her tricorder trying to ignore the sound ::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: I was hearing a hammering....but I don't hear it now....

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Scan for life-signs.

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS CEO SO: Anything?

OPS_Jameson says:
%::flips open her tricorder again::

CEO_Lira says:
%CTO: No Sir

OPS_Jameson says:
%CTO: Nothing definite, sir

MO_Suder says:
@ ::turns 360 degrees:: XO: well, i heard something too, i think...so it wasn't your imagination...

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: No Commander....I can't pinpoint it...

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO: The tricorder has narrowed down the area that could be emitting the signal, if we move inside the area of the pyramid i might get a precise lock

MO_Suder says:
@ ::scans area for life signs:: XO: hang on...

SO_Farewell says:
%::shakes his head at the readings::

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO SO OPS: Very well. We will continue to the city center. Keep to your assigned tasks. No one is to be out of visual contact with another member of the team. Understood?

CSO_Hazzem says:
@MO/XO: And the hammering that you heard i'm familiar with.

MO_Suder says:
@ ::shakes head:: XO: nothing sir...not a soul down here besides us...

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Then let's try to get inside ::starts walking around the base::

CEO_Lira says:
%CTO: Sir ... :: Looks back at her tricorder :: I’m picking something up in this direction

XO_Toorain says:
@::nods::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO: Aye sir

CTO_Esjam says:
%COM CO: Sir, we are detecting some very faint sounds, a sort of hammering. Nothing definitive. Continuing to the city center

MO_Suder says:
@ CSO: familiar with...how?...what is it then?

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO/MO: Let's try and find an entrance ::starts scanning with tricorder::

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO:  Hhhmmm....  ::looking at his readings:: Sir, the electro-magnetic readings appear ti be coming from an underground place...a while ahead...

OPS_Jameson says:
%::looks towards the CEO, and then notices the same readings on her Tricorder::

CEO_Lira says:
% CTO: In that direction

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Good work, lets check it out. Please lead the way

MO_Suder says:
@ ::takes a step in the opposite direction:: XO: sir, should i go the other way around/...we'll get done twice as fast that way...

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Follows the XO:: MO: In my culture, intruders were first not welcomed in a tribe's village, so they were sacrificed by the tribe to the God they belong to

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM:CTO: Acknowledged, keep me informed

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO: Commander

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Nice people.....

CEO_Lira says:
%:: Walks off in the direction of her readings :

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Yes?

MO_Suder says:
@ CSO: what's that got to do with the hammering though?

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: Understood....this way..  :: walks towards the a bit north-east direction...::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO: I found some stairs leading down

CTO_Esjam says:
%::follows the SO::

OPS_Jameson says:
%::hears the hammering in her head, and she can't ignore it::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::points::

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS: You okay?

OPS_Jameson says:
%::decides to keep Tam company, and follows her::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@MO: The hammering is a ritual performed during the sacrifice

XO_Toorain says:
@::turns:: CSO: Where?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Hazzem's stairs are half buried in sand, ancient and crumbling

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Walks over to the stairs:: XO: Over here

XO_Toorain says:
@::follows the CSO:: MO: Over here!

OPS_Jameson says:
%CTO:  It's just that hammering…  Sir, I can't get it out of my head!

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The winds stop blowing, and the sounds stop, just eerie silence

CEO_Lira says:
%:: notices the underground passage way from where the readings are coming from ::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::steps up beside CSO:: CSO: I see...very interesting...

XO_Toorain says:
@::frowns::

SO_Farewell says:
%::quietly walking further into the city...looking around him, looking for some sort of entrance...and then looking at his scans again::

XO_Toorain says:
@Self: What's happening...?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Hazzem's stairs end at a solid wall, heavily and ornately engraved

MO_Suder says:
@ ::takes a breath and follows her crew mates down the stairs::

OPS_Jameson says:
%Tam: What could be down there?

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Walks down the stairs::

FCO_Ekaf says:
@::stays with the XO's away team::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Shrugs :: OPS : who knows

XO_Toorain says:
@::follows the CSO down::

SO_Farewell says:
%::turns to the CTO::  CTO: I can't identify an entrance with scans, let's hope we can find a visual one once we get there....

MO_Suder says:
@ ::steps close to the wall and runs fingers over the decorations:: CSO/XO: we should get an archaeology team in here soon...

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The city team's tricorders are off the scale with electromagnetic readings, as they are near the stairs

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Good work

CSO_Hazzem says:
@MO/XO: Beware, I don't trust these pyramids

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO: Tam, any sort of mechanism at the entrance?

CEO_Lira says:
% CTO: Sir over here; theres an entrance

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Agreed....best not touch them I think, they might be degraded if we do....

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Stops at the dead end wall::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::raises eyebrow:: CSO: why not?

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO: Can you get it open?

OPS_Jameson says:
%CTO: Shouldn't we check out the entrance before we go in there?

XO_Toorain says:
COMM: CO: Sir, we've found some stairs that led down to a decorated wall.  We're not sure what's beyond it.

MO_Suder says:
@ ::removes hand:: XO: you're probably right... @@tastes air:: It’s stuffy in here isn't it?

CSO_Hazzem says:
@MO/XO: It's a dead end, these types of stairs were built to elude thieves, some traps would be installed to kill them

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS: I think we should go down; it is where the strongest readings are coming from

SO_Farewell says:
%::looks at the entrance and let's his scans sweep the entrance::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Runs her tricorder and notices the strength of the reading :: CTO: There’s some stairs here Sir

XO_Toorain says:
@::taps tricorder:: the Electromagnetic readings are....MO: Could this EM stuff be damaging to our cells?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO: Tricorders tell you anything Commander?

MO_Suder says:
@ XO: could we send a copy of these engravings back to the ship?...we could run them through a universal translator...

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::turns around and leans to the wall trying catch his breath::

CEO_Lira says:
% SO: Well looks like we found where it’s coming from

CTO_Esjam says:
%COM CO: Sir, we are about to descend some stairs to the source of the strongest readings

SO_Farewell says:
%CEO: Indeed...the source or whatever should be down there...  ::points::

XO_Toorain says:
COMM: CO: About to find out sir.

OPS_Jameson says:
%CEO: Is all this radiation good for us?  ::gets out a hypospray::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Excellent idea.

MO_Suder says:
CSO: we're not supposed to touch that remember?

OPS_Jameson says:
%CEO: Think we should use this yet?

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO OPS SO: We have little choice. Follow me. ::draws a phaser and goes down the stairs::

MO_Suder says:
<@>

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Get away from the wall...you could damage it

SO_Farewell says:
%CEO, OPS, CTO: And nothing seems to be wrong with it...no obvious traps of some kind...

FCO_Ekaf says:
@::with the XO's away team::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO: Understood, keep me informed. If necessary we can try use the Seleya's sensors

XO_Toorain says:
@::sets tricorder scan range to 50m, and scans::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Draws phaser and follows looking at the readings as she gos along ::

SO_Farewell says:
%::follows the CTO down the stairs::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::scans CSO for signs of cellular degradation::

OPS_Jameson says:
%Is left standing at hte top of the stairs holding the hypospray::

FCO_Ekaf says:
@:;looks for a way to enter the Pyramid::

OPS_Jameson says:
%:: rushes down to follow Farewell::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Stands slowly away from the wall:: XO: Aye sir ::breathes faster::

XO_Toorain says:
COMM: CO: Acknowledged sir.

CEO_Lira says:
%OPS: Are you coming?

FCO_Ekaf says:
@::looks for a large stone with a hollow area behind it::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Are you all right?

XO_Toorain says:
<CSO>

MO_Suder says:
@ ::scans XO then herself:: XO: Sir, no damage so far...i suspect if we stayed in here for years we may experience some signs, but we're OK for now...

OPS_Jameson says:
%CEO: Right behind you Tam

MO_Suder says:
@ ::look sat CSO:: CSO: Hazzem...what is it?  ::scans him again::

XO_Toorain says:
@COMM: CO: Sir, all we've got is EM readings.  

CTO_Esjam says:
%::carefully goes down the stairs::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Follows readings as they get stronger ::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: Understood.

XO_Toorain says:
@::scans the wall to get an image of the wall's glyphs::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The city group finds themselves in a large underground room, with a corridor leading off it

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO/MO: I’m alright; don't worry ::Leans back to the wall and accidentally pulls down a lever opening the wall::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO: Stand by

OPS_Jameson says:
%::looks around the walls::

XO_Toorain says:
@::blinks::

SO_Farewell says:
%::steps into the large room behind the CTO::

SO_Farewell says:
<large>

MO_Suder says:
@ ::gasps:: CSO: what the...

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The lever activates a mechanism, and a large slab of granite slides open, showing an entranceway into the pyramid

XO_Toorain says:
@Team: Okay....stay here for a moment....

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO SO OPS: Lets keep going ::heads down the corridor::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: walks into the room and looks around ::

OPS_Jameson says:
%::twists and scans the walls for a computer access point::

XO_Toorain says:
@COMM: CO: Sir, the wall has been opened.

MO_Suder says:
@ ::shuts gaping mouth:: CSO/XO: so much for a dead end...

FCO_Ekaf says:
@XO: Sir, in Egypt, Earth, pyramid entrances were often covered by a large stone that could be moved by pressing another stone that was attached to the original stone with pulleys and levers all balanced so that only a slight push is necessary.

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Turns around with open eyes and mouth:: Self: amazing

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Follows still scanning ::

XO_Toorain says:
@COMM: CO: I'm sending an image of the wall up to the ship's computers.  Can you run it through the universal translator please, and see if it says anything?

MO_Suder says:
@ ::scans in the opening:: XO: no life signs in there sir, but I’d still recommend we do not enter, on what Hazzem has said regarding traps...

SO_Farewell says:
%::follows the CEO, scanning and trying to visualize the complex...trying to figure out anything unusual...::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The pyramid's corridor leads down, to the northeast, a huge rock slab, with no end in sight

FCO_Ekaf says:
@XO: Sir, Pyramid entrances often had boobytraps to stop grave robbers. We should be careful.

CEO_Lira says:
% CTO : Sir there should be another set of stairs up ahead

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO: Send it up, I will see what we can make of it. The Seleya's sensors are having the same problem Commander nothing but EM static

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The city team's corridors are leading downward, generally winding southwest in direction

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO: Acknowledged

XO_Toorain says:
@Team: Alright then, I'm open to suggestions as to whether we go in or not....

FCO_Ekaf says:
@::attempts to translate some hieroglyphics on the wall using a tricorder::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO/MO/FCO: Do not worry, I'm familiar with these corridors, just don't touch anything

MO_Suder says:
@ ::looks at CSO:: CSO: Hazzem, you sure you're OK?

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Are we any closer to the source of the readings

CSO_Hazzem says:
@MO: Yes I'm getting better

MO_Suder says:
@ XO: is it part of our mission to survey everything?...or just in general...

FCO_Ekaf says:
@XO: Sir, the walls seem to be getting closer to each other as we progress.

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: Definitely, Sir...they're almost of the scale....

XO_Toorain says:
@::sends the image up to the Seleya::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::looks at CSO:: CSO: what about the ground Hazzem...we have to touch that...

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: I wasn't going to touch it....

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Stares at the walls:: ALL: we must hurry downstairs or we will be crushed

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Still looking at the readings ::

XO_Toorain says:
@MO: A survey mission is our brief...so let's do everything in as much detail as possible.

OPS_Jameson says:
%::Keeps scanning, but getting almost no readings except the EM band::

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Alternatively, we could go back up.

SO_Farewell says:
%::descends further, concentrated on the road ahead of him and his readings::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@XO: Sir, we cannot turn back, the only way is down

MO_Suder says:
@ XO: I apologize for being the bell tolling doom on this mission sir, but i feel obliged to point out that we are not qualified for this...perhaps an archaeology team might be better suited?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The team in the city tunnels suddenly hears the noises again, coming from ahead

XO_Toorain says:
@CSO: Why can we not go back up?  I am leaning towards the MO's ideals here.

MO_Suder says:
@ ::shrugs:: XO well, there's my answer...

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO OPS SO: Hold on. What do you make of that?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: XO: The Seleya's computer has translated the image you sent up to us it looks like the a large control room of some sort, I will let you know if we come up with any thing more

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Turns around, but the step he's standing on breaks::

SO_Farewell says:
%::stops::  CTO: Seems to be the same sound again...looks like we are heading straight for it...

OPS_Jameson says:
%::peers at her Tricorder::

CEO_Lira says:
% :: Starts hearing the noise again ::

XO_Toorain says:
@COMM: CO: Thank-you sir.

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Agreed

MO_Suder says:
@ ::takes a step forward, putting her hand on CSO's arm:: CSO: Careful

XO_Toorain says:
@A-team: We're going back up.  I don't feel safe, or qualified down here.

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: If we continue we'll find out what is going on here...it may probably be the source of this all...

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO OPS SO: That looks like a door ahead, with some sort of mechanism next to it. Wait here. ::walks towards the door and scans the button with his tricorder::

CTO_Esjam says:
%CEO OPS SO: Anything I should know before I press this?

MO_Suder says:
@ XO: Sir...the steps seem to be disintegrating now...we have no way up bar transporter...

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO: Doesn't look like any lock I know....and I don't know if it's dangerous or nor either...

@::scowls:: 

SO_Farewell says:
<not>

XO_Toorain says:

<ops officer> ::Beams the XO's team to safety::

XO_Toorain says:
@Self: this is not comfortable...::hits some rock on the way down::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The city team finds itself in what appears to be control central, a huge cavernous room filled with computer consoles and blinking lights, and a loud and annoying hum, drowning out any hammering sounds they heard previously

% :: smiles at OPS Comment ::

MO_Suder says:
@ ::starts slipping on her front as the stairs disappear::

CTO_Esjam says:
%OPS SO: Please see if you can access any of this equipment

@::is beamed to the ship::

Host CO_Bolitho says:

%CEO SO OPS: What can you tell me people?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*XO* Well it is the most safe place would you not agree Commander?

XO_Toorain says:
*CO* I would agree entirely sir, thank-you.

Host Cheryl says:
ACITON:  Farewell's button punching causes one section of the computer control system to shut down; the remainder begin a loud screeching sound, presumably an alarm

OPS_Jameson1 says:
%CTO: They appear to be functioning

CTO_Esjam says:
%SO: Report

FCO_Ekaf says:
*CO* Sir, we have retuned to the Seleya, and most of the away team are injured.

%CTO:  Well, they were.  ::gives farewell a disparaging look::

XO_Toorain says:
FCO: I'm okay, thank-you...

Host Dave says:
::Follows behind Rebboi and does that as well:

MO_Suder says:

OPS_Jameson1 says:
%Self:  Ouch!  Get your metallic claws off of me!  ::is pushed to one side::

CTO_Esjam says:
%::helps Farewell to his feet::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  A few of the robots herd up the away team members, standing around them, as though corralling them, isolating them from the consoles

MO_Suder says:
::smiles at CSO:: CSO: I'm fine. and so are you, though I should take a look at that cut over your eye...

OPS_Jameson1 says:
%CEO:  It wasn't me!  It was Farewell!

FCO_Ekaf says:
MO: What about the others?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The console operations are restored, and the sirens stop sounding

SO_Farewell says:
%CTO, OPS, CEO: They obviously don't want us near the console....

%CTO: Sir?

CTO_Esjam says:
%Rebboi: I am, Commander Esjam of the USS Seleya

ACTION:  The Away Team is far outnumbered by the robots, but the robots are making no threatening moves

MO_Suder says:
::smiles at CSO: CSO; no problem Hazzem, it was kinda...interesting...

CTO_Esjam says:
%Rebboi: And who are you?

Host Rebboi says:
