USS Seleya - 10311.09

Host SM-Lyon says:
SUMMARY: The away team had some interesting things happen with the portals. It seems a change in colour brings a change in scenery on the other side. After some random pushes of buttons changed the portal to the same one where the aliens were moving around, it snapped off, leaving only the frame and bare rock.

What are they going to do about this? Find out in the continuation:

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::Is still standing on the bridge, not knowing if she should crouch on  the floor by the OPS Chair::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Taps a button on his console, seeing that Commander Hazzem is still off duty and frowns ::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Flying the ship::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Hits a button on the chair ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::on the bridge, hovering over her station while she quickly taps in some commands::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Here's a thought... we beam a modified probe down using the pattern enhancers. Slap on a few anti-gravs, and it can be placed in front of this portal and give us continuous readings on its operation.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO* Lieutenant, as far as I can tell, you'll remain in charge of the Away Team for the time being. That said; Report?

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Wondering whats going on in the caves?::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::looks at the portal:: All: At least we don't have to worry about the giant creature

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::hears the comm:: *ACO* Sir the portal has shut down

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Do we know if the portal has any, well, defensive mechanisms against things such as these?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::looks at tricorder::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises an Eyebrow ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO* Possible causes?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Well, from what I've read, it doesn't look like it's fired on the away team in any defensive manner... and apparently their tricorders are able to gather data.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* The other side sir, a life form stuck it's head through, saw us, screeched and then pulled his head back in and the portal shut down

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: ...and besides, a probe was the quickest idea I could come up with to get us both out of that Doctor's clutches.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO* Could you identify the lifeform? What Species?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Do we have any prelim data from the tricorders?

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Unknown sir, very seen 'em before, there loud as hell though

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::taps some fingers across her console:: EO: Some... though nothing to really indicate the inner-workings of the device. I'm hoping maybe the high-powered instruments on the probe can give us more insight.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO* Do you have tricorder readings of the life form?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: If anything, it will allow us to further observe the portal if the away team beams back up from the surface.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::looks at console, trying to find any changes in the read outs::

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::turns to the CIV:: CIV: Did you get a reading of the life form?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: I'm thinking maybe we should put some kind of system on it that will allow us to manually operate the portal from here, in case of an emergancy with the AT

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The portal remains dead... just a frame, with bare rock showing through it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Hmm... has the away team been able to operate it using their tricorders or other remote means?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::turns around:: AXO:  Sorry sir, it happened so quick, I couldn't get any readings

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::looks at console:: ALL: The console is dead too.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::curses to himself:: *ACO* Negative sir

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::shrugs her shoulders::  OPS: To be honest I don't know, but I thought that if they do operate it and go through, we might need to operate it manually

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: To get them out, that it

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO*  Damnit. Stand-by Lieutenant.

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::Bounds on to the bridge rather happy and skips to her chair :: ACO: hello Sir

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::moves over to the CEO:: CEO: Is that panel working or has that shut down too?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Well, we could try getting the probe in place and remotely interfacing with whatever controls are on that console down there and perhaps see if the ship's computer can find a way to correctly activate the device. Sound good?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::steps back from the portal:

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO* Have Lieutenant Viren return to the Seleya immediately, and continue in your efforts to get the portal to work.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: Afternoon, Lieutenant.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Understood sir

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
FCO: Prepare a Type-11 Shuttle for Launch.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: Commander... have a moment? ::spins in place to face him::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: Its shut down.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
ACO: yes sir.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::turns to the CIV:: CIV: Viren, captain wants you back on the bridge

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Along the lines of what I was thinking  ::grins at her::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::takes a look a round :: AXO: So how’s things going ::stops as she sees Cmdr Masters turn ::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Gets up from his chair and moves to behind Ops:: Yes?

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Contacts Shuttle bay 1, makes preparations::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::returns the smile, glad to see somebody shares her brain wavelength::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@AXO: All Right sir. ::gathers his supplies back into his kit::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
FCO: Also, prepare yourself for Away Team Duty.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Please ready yourself as well.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: Sir, with your permission we'd like to beam a probe down to the surface through the pattern enhancers. A set of anti gravity units can be used to move it into place near the portal, and we hope it will act like a relay and provide more detailed scans of the device and its operation to the ship.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Nods:: ACO:  Yes sir.  ::Secures the Helm::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::Sees the EO and walks up to her :: EO: I see your new to Seleya Ens

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: There's also a chance we might be able to find a means of remotely operating the device from here depending on the information we gather, but at least it can act as a sentry to warn us of the gate's activation.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@::gets into position for transport::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
ACO:  Orders Sir?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::Looks at the stranger who is speaking to her::  CNS: Indeed I am Sir, and I haven't seen you around either

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Ens is there anyway you can get power to the panel?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
FCO: Report to the Shuttlebay and take the CNS with you.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: Permission granted. Get to it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: Aye, Commander.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Good, just becareful, i don't want you to get hurt

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@*Bridge* Lieutenant Viren ready for transport

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: Aye, Sir.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::Had been smiling, but it wavers at the threat of a psyc eval::  CNS: Well,  I'm quite busy at the moment, as you can see, and I'm already prebooked with a medical

CNS-LT_Stout says:

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::moves to the portal frame and starts scanning the inner lining::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Transporter Room 2 is prepping to beam the probe down... now the fun begins. ::receives the ready signal::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: I'm ready for action if you are ::gives her a stunning smile, opposite to the business one for the CNS::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
EO: not a problem I can evaluate you at the same time Im sure the Doc won't mind

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Heads into Shuttlebay 1, grabs his gear and boards the shuttle::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@*FCO* Were are we going

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::gives orders to the transporter room that they're clear to beam the probe down::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*FCO* Set a course for the Desert Planet and conduct an investigation of the Gate there; Stay in contact with the Seleya as much as possible. LtJG Viren is in charge...

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::notes Masters ignored her and jots her down for a double session::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
*CIV*:  To the desert planet.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
:: Stands up, heads out the door and into a LT:: LT: Main bridge

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
*ACO*:  Understood.

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The probe appears in the chamber. Telemetry is starting to come in after a few moments.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
@*CO* Lt Viren to Commander Muir, I’m ready for transport back to the ship

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Walks over to the probe::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV* Understood, I'm beaming you directly to the Shuttle bay, where you are to lead an Away Team to the other gate.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
*FCO* I'll meet you in the shuttle bay, as soon as someone beams me back to the ship

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: Commander, might be a good idea to inform the Away Team about our probe.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: Please beam Mr. Viren to the Shuttle bay.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: nods ::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::walks up to the ACO:: ACOL Sir when you have the time to realise Commander masters and Ens  Morgan I need to carry out Psyc evaluations on them

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::runs some scans on the panel trying to find the best way to fix it::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
*CIV*:  Understood.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::brings up the appropriate controls and beams Lt. Viren to the main shuttle bay::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
CNS: If you organise it with the MO, I'll be there, as long as it doesn't clash with my job

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*AXO*  Lieutenant Darklighter? We're about to beam a probe down to the surface to help with your investigation of the gate.

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::turns:: EO: of course it will clash with your job Ens ..

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
:: The LT stop, the doors open and i move to the ACO:: ACO: Lt cloud reporting in sir

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::Moves next to Masters, watching her work the console::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::Pokes his head out of the shuttle::  CIV:  This way Lieutenant.

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Understood sir

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::overhears the CNS and turns around, facing the centre of the bridge:: CNS: With respect, Counsellor, I was required to go through a medical and psychological check-up before my posting here... otherwise Starfleet wouldn't allow my transfer. Please, feel free to check my records.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CTO: Can I get a hand moving this thing closer to the portal and consoles please

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::looks around the shuttle bay:: FCO: Is it just me and you

CNS-LT_Stout says:
OPS: with all due respects commander.... once you step foot on Seleya you fall under my care and I get to say whether you need a psyc evaluation or not

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::hears the TO and closes his tricorders:: TO: Sure, this is getting me nowhere ::moves to the TO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::notices her console beginning to show incoming data:: ACO/EO: Incoming probe telemetry... the portal is very sophisticated, a technology obviously unknown to us. It seems to be capable of creating dimensional shifts.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::walks into the shuttle::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
CIV:  That’s the Commanders orders.  We should take off as soon as your ready. ::Ducks back into the shuttle and fires it up::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::looks under console and notices a panel.::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Lifts one antigravity bed and moves it close to the portal::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
OPS: Has no one sent a probe through one of these shifts..... Not that I have a clue what is going on

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::takes panel off and studies the 'wiring'::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::takes seat in the shuttle:: FCO: I'm ready to go

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
::turns to the CIV::  CIV: All set?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: Dimensional Shifts?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::overlooks the Counsellor’s previous comments:: CNS: Not yet, the device seems to be inactive at the moment.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
::stands there waiting for the captain to respond::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
*ACO*:  Shuttle ready for launch sir.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
FCO: Take us out when you ready

CNS-LT_Stout says:
OPS: then what about the one that is working I understand there are two of them

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: I'm also reading... absolutely no power readings. The portal appears to be dead, kind of like its batteries have gone dry.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#::Lifts the shuttle off the deck and heads out::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::Sits in her chair looking round and reading her padd::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: What is the portal's power source?

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The shuttle smoothly launches from the shuttle bay, streaking through space and the fifth planet.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*FCO* Permission to launch granted. God speed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: An interesting idea...

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
CNS: We could always send someone through with a piece of string, and someone stay on the other side holding the other end.......::uses a sarcastic tone of voice::

AXO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@TO: Here should do it, drop it slowly ::slowly starts putting the probe down

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hides a giggle::

CNS-LT_Stout says:
::laughs:: EO: Now why do I get the feeling you want me at the other end of that string

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#::plot course for the desert planet::  *ACO*:  Thank you.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CTO: Thank you Sir

CNS-LT_Stout says:
EO: Hey why dont they tie both of Us and I can give you your payc evaluation at the same time

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::moves some wires trying to get a better look::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
CNS: And we can send you though, and I'll accidently drop the rope

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO/EO: Still nothing that I can recognize as a power source... I'll retune the sensors to account for possible power feeds through dimensions we normally don't scan. Perhaps the device is powered from another location, or we simply don't recognize it just yet.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#::Turns towards CIV::  CIV:  We'll be there shortly Leutenant, in case you want to get anything ready.

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:

CMO: Ahh, Welcome back to the Seleya, Mr. Cloud. I trust you had a safe journey? :: Gets up to offer the Lieutenant his hand ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
AXO: Understood, I think you're wanted on the surface...

CNS-LT_Stout says:
EO: My My Ens I does seem that you have this dark side to your nature that is not very becoming of a Starfleet officer, maybe a double seeion for starters then

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
ACO: Aye, i'm on my way

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Indeed we do  ::Turns her back on the CNS to look at the monitor::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Ens, route your tricorder through the probe, it'll improve your scans of the panel

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@AXO: Oh we know it was them sir, one stuck his head in and roared the house down and then shut the portal off

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The computer feels very sorry for itself, having to trace all those convoluted circuitry and strange cables, but it slogs away at the information, hoping the mind numbing tedium will go away sometime soon.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: I'll start looking for what makes it tick, Commander, but that all depends on what sort of power source it runs on.

CNS-LT_Stout says:

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#::Over his shoulder::  CIV: Looks like this one is dead too.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:

CMO: Well nice to see you can talk at any rate

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@CTO: Hmmm, I see.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
:: starts a scan the area ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::walks over to the consol:: FCO: The control panel is dead too, looks like it was shut down like the other portal

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# CIV: Maybe our new friends are controlling things from their end, you know, like sealing a tunnel behind you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO: We have the most sophisticated computers in the fleet... and it's still going to take some time for it to interpret what it's scanning.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV* Understood. Conduct a preliminary investigation, and give yourselves two hours. If nothing happens, then return to the Seleya.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Epiphany ::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
ACO: It is extremely advanced

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@::Sees a new face:: TO: You must be Ensign Croft?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: Wait a second. The crews of the Memphis, Concordia and Nevada  were abducted from their ships to some kind of stasis chambers near these portals? Maybe they were the power source, and we unplugged them?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: The emitted a screeching sound to shut of the portal, if we had a change to record the sound, we might have been able to turn them back on

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#::Moves over to the Portal and taps it with the barrel of his phaser rifle::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::raises an eyebrow::  ACO: So you think we should plug ourselves into it, and see if it works again?  You first....

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
::scans the area where the away teams are::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@Self: I guess Croft is to busy to chat. ::shrugs and walks over to console, takes out tricorder to check for any changes.::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
EO: That's not exactly what I'm saying...
FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# ::Nods::  CIV:  Well, couldn't we set up some kind of harmonics generator, have it pass though different frequencies till it hits the right one?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops/EO: I want you two to go to the site of the stasis chambers and work out if there is an alternative source of power we can use, if that indeed was their purpose.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO/EO: Something more along the lines of using bioelectrical energy to power the device? But obviously the portal was still active until these aliens decided it was time to shut if off.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: I guess that is possible, I'm just worried that there maybe be other systems that are sound activated, we wouldn't want to trigger some security system

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#  CIV: I mean, its all energy right?  Analogue to electric, we hit the right frequency, we hit the on switch.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
ACO/EO: Still, there must be some alternative means of power in this stasis chamber... maybe we can jury-rig it to power the portal.
CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::moves to the CEO:: CEO: How is it coming along?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: We don't know that they decided to turn it off for sure. I'm thinking perhaps the Starfleet Crews recharged the gates batteries, and then they ran out again...

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#  CIV: Hmm...Well, we haven’t been able to detect any defensive systems in any of the other chambers.  To be honest, I don’t see them having any in here.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@CTO: Still nothing.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::rises from her console and waits for a relief officer to walk over:: ACO: Time for a field trip... we'll keep in touch, sir. ::heads towards the turbo lift::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
Ops: Good luck.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CSO: Hi Sir I was away with the fairies

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: All right, lets give it a try

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Ok, let me know if you need a hand ::turns back around studying the chamber::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#  CIV:  I don’t know if its just me, but this place seems more like a hospital or a lab, maybe a storage facility.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::Is standing there thinking::  OPS/ACO:  Brainwaves are a form of electricity....they might not need to be 'plugged in', just enough people present

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@TO: Welcome aboard ::walks up to the CEO and watches what she's doing::

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::steps into the turbo lift and waits for the EO to arrive:: EO: True... but a humanoid body creates a substantial amount of energy as well. There's only one way to know for sure. Transporter Room 1. ::rides the turbo lift to their destination::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@AXO: Thank you Sir Glad to be here

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Maybe they used portal, like we would a door

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::notices AXO watching her and tries to look busy::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::walks into the TL, a little distracted::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# CIV:  yes ma’am. We'll need some things from the shuttle.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# CIV: or do you think the tricorders can do the job?

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@CEO: How are we doing here, chief?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Do you know how to configure your tricorder to do that

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::arrives in the transporter room, grabbing a tricorder and phaser::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::moves away from the CEO's position::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: Still not getting anywhere, Sir.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: I'm still a little dubious about this...according to the previous OPS logs, the AT were scanned in some kind of way...

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CMO: Open a channel to the Desert Team, please.

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@CEO: Ok, what pattern are you following?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO* We are going to set up a harmonic generator to try and trigger an on switch, like how the aliens triggered an off switch

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
::Opens the channel:: ACO: Channel open

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# CIV: I think...

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Then go ahead

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::nods:: EO: Well, we can beam you down first... ::coughs::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# ::tries to alter the Comm. transmission on his tricorder to pass through harmonic frequencies::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: I'm having the computer trace the wiring, to figure out what they do. Hopefully one of them will have something to do with power supply

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
::laughs a little::  OPS: So they can get to me first, and when you find my inert body, you can escape quickly?

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@CEO: Good idea, Ensign. Any wires found useful besides power?

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
EO: Heh, something like that... Let's just make sure the Chief keeps a lock on us.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV* Go ahead. We're investigating a power theory at the moment and will get back to you if it all goes well...

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::reluctantly steps up on the pad::

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
# CIV:  Don’t know if this is going to work... You might want to stand back.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: As much as everyone else finds this an amazing piece of technology and all, I'm more worried about what it was that created it, and why they wanted the other crews in stasis

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO* Understood, Sir ::steps back::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: No, not that I can tell.

Host AXO_LtCmdr_Hazzem says:
@::Nods:: CEO: Keep at it, Ensign!

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The tricorder starts going through various harmonics.

FCO_Ensign_Aan says:
#:: Hopes he doesn't blow his own hand off::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The EO and OPS disappear from the pad in a swirl of blue twinkles.

OPS_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Chief: Lock onto the stasis chamber and... Energize.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@AXO: Yes, Sir.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
:: continues to watch the away teams movements::
