USS Seleya 10311.16
"If you go down to the woods today" Part 8

SUMMARY: The Seleya crew is trying to determine if there is some way to power up the computer systems of the aliens portals.... Will they succeed? Who knows?

<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::still in the chamber with the TO and CEO::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Closes his tricorder:: CIV:  I don't think this is working.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
::walks into sickbay, grabs a med kit and heads for the TR::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::is in the chamber with CTO and TO::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Can I pass a thought through you?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::look around:: FCO: Go ahead, Ensign

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@::in the portal room with CTO and CEO::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
::enters the TR and gets onto the pad:: *ACO*: CMO to bridge, I'm ready to beam down.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Well, we know these gates open to the catacombs on the other planet, wouldn't it be safe to assume that the aliens are in a similar cavern on one of the other planets?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::taps his comm badge:: *ACO*: Darklighter to Muir

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Paces through the Main Science Lab, waiting for the analysis equipment to come online ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CMO*: Permission granted. Commander Masters has been pulled away on important business; you are to command the away team...

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CTO*: Muir here, what is it Nathan?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Well they did pop there heads through the portal, which means they have have a portal, and as far a we know the portal system is within this system, so it might be true they are on one of the other planets.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::pauses for a second:: *ACO*: Sir do you still wish me to return to the bridge?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Is in the chamber, and is using her tricorder to monitor readings from the probe::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Hears the distinctive beeps from the console and gets back to it, ready to upload the tricorder data ::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
*ACO*: understood sir.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sets up an active download matrix and initiates tricorder information dump ::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
:: beams down to the planet::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The probe has been sorting through data and tracing circuitry for two hours already... an idea of how the portal operates is beginning to emerge.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CTO*: Negative Lieutenant, I've pulled Commander Abdel-Hamid to the ship, please try and keep things under control down there until he returns.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Well, that being said, wouldn't we be better served to check those other planets for these types of cavern?  It seems like were playing around with theses things on this end when they are in command of the on off switch.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
*ACO*: Understood, Darklighter out

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Slightly amends the probe sensors to get a clearer reading::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Closes the comm signal ::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::walks over to EO Morgan:: EO: Has the probe turned up anything?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Waits for the download to finish, then brings in the next of the tricorders ::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  It just seems like were ignoring a possible solution.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CEO: Well, the Seleya has most of the information, but it looks like we are getting more than we had.  Which is a miracle!

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::tap his comm badge:: *ACO*: Lieutenant Viren to Commander Muir

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Hits the button again ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV*: Go ahead, Lieutenant?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Finishes up and gets ready to process the raw data ::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@:: beams down and starts to look about::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ EO: That's good to hear.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Holds out her hand towards Kice::  CEO:  It's nice to meet you, looks like you're my immediate boss for the foreseeable future

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO*: Ensign A'an believes that the aliens that are in control of the portals are on one of the other planets, I would concur with that assessment.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@EO: It's good to meet you too ::smiles and extends hand::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::spots Cloud beaming in and thinks "how do you go from TAC to medical?"::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Shakes the CEO's hand::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sorts through the raw data by cataloguing it before sending all of the audio patterns through the universal translator ::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@CTO: yea well what can i say. So where's the pods you's found?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*FCO*: Once of the other planets in this system? Interesting... we didn't pick anything up before, but I'll scan again and see what we can pick up. Is there anything else, Lieutenant?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves out of the Command Chair towards the Science Station, and begins scanning the other planets in the system, one by one, for forms of life or traces of this technology...

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::raises an eyebrow at Cloud, didn't know he was a telepath:: CMO: Well there one there, and there's another one, oh and if you look at walls you might find some ::grins::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Do you have anything to add?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Notices the CMO::  CMO: Lt Cloud?  I'm Rie Morgan,  I'm under your command during this away mission

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Watches as the UT results come back negative ::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Shakes his head::  CIV: No.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO*: That will be all, Viren out.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Takes a deep breath::  CIV: So, were to from here?

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV: Sound didn't do it, maybe light?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::slumps to the floor and strokes his chin, staring at the empty portal::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: Hello Ens nice to met you, so have you had a change to look over the pods?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
<empty>

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: I doubt that, but there isn't much else to look for around here, so give it a try

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::takes out tricorder and looks over reading from probe::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Frowns as all of the results come back negative ::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: I have.  I haven't found any proof so far that will either confirm or deny Muir's theory about the human batteries.  So, at the moment, we are as blind as we were before... I'm sure you'll have some excellent ideas

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Recalls the colour patterns and decides to run them through the UT as well ::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@:: Pulls out his med-tricorder and starts to scan one of the pods:: EO: OK have to tried to disconnect one of them?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Correlates the change in colour with the audio patterns and runs the whole thing through the UT ::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Pulls out a hand lamp and looks at it for a second:: CIV:  It just struck me as to how stupid I what I just said was.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: I was very dubious to actually have direct contact with them.  I've read the report pertaining to the other AT being scanned by some unknown device after interfering with the portals.  I have just been analysing what readouts we are getting from the probe

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: I never thought it as stupid, unlikely to work maybe, but if it does work, you'd be a genius.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Sighs and puts the hand lamp back:: CIV:  I am completely out of my element here.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
Self: Hmm, still negative...

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow as the results suddenly beep, and presses a button to bring up a read out of increased retrinoid particles; something indicating a dimensional shift. ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::rubs his chin, still staring at the empty portal::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::walks over to the chamber wall and begins feeling the it for any markings::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::closes tricorder and walks over to console::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Frowns again as he realises these readings were no present when the Seleya first entered the system ::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::walks up to the Gate and knocks on it::  All:  Helloo?  Anybody home?

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The FCO feels like a right prat. Its bare rock surrounded by a frame...

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: Ok then, lets see what we can find out. Let me know if anything interesting comes from the probe data. :: Moves closer to one of the pods::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Takes a moment to consider what course to follow next ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::looks over at the FCO, thinking he might be loosing his mind::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::looks a little worried::  CMO: Okay, but be very careful handling it

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Moves away and looks at one of the empty stasis pods::  CIV:  I'm thinking these are what's the problem.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Thinks: Maybe just the colours themselves... ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::walks over to the FCO:: FCO: You think there is s'pose to be someone in the pods?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Enhances the performance of her tricorder, and checks the probe reading very carefully::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#:;Nods::  CIV:  Maybe they're a trigger?  or some kind of bio-computer?   I'm grasping here, but its the only thing that's changed down here.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Maybe we cant power the gate on our end because it HAS no power?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Feeds strictly the colour changing sequence into the UT, though he has doubts ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Possible, but if they need humanoid to power the portals, we can't just hope into the pods and give it a whirl

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Is there some way we could simulate that kind of energy?

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: I'll be fine Ens :: pull one of the lines out of the pod and scans it:: Look at this, where these connect to the other crew?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Analyses the readings and comes to the conclusion that these gates cannot travel locally; the readings indicate they are inter-dimensional gateways... ::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Scratched his head::  CIV: What's it called?  Bio energy or something to that effect?

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV: Maybe one of the doctors on the ship...

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::walks over to CMO and EO to see what there doing::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@:: Looks at the readings the CMO found::  CMO: To be honest, I just want to work out how to power this thing and get back to the ship.  Does this suggest that it is run on a bioelectrical source?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Checks the parameters to ensure fidelity, then runs all the colour and sound data through the UT again, just to be sure the few chance matches weren't coincidental ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Actually I was thinking that we might be ably to rig up one of those transporter test canisters that simulate bio energy, I have one on the shuttle i was going to use it to test the portals.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Right behind you Lieutenant.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV: I can beam back to the shuttle if you want to inform the Commander of what were going to try?

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@:: looks at his tricorder and see that the line so sucking energy out of his hand:: EO: its putting right out of my hand look. I'd say that it was used to power the gate a ways

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Alright, beam up an grab it

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::gets up and turns to the TO:: TO: Ens would you please assist the CMO's team, I'll assist the CEO ::starts to walk to the CEO::

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Looks a little concerned::  CMO: It would be an idea that you remove that from your hand now Sir... before you don't have the energy to.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Aye Lieutenant. ::Activates the shuttles remote transport::

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
:: Start walking over to CMO team:: CMO: Can I lend a hand?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Gets back the same slight connections he did before - small progress, but still progress ::

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@:: Start walking over to CMO team:: CMO: Can I lend a hand?

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: I'm fine, it's not putting much power out of me but to be on the safe side of things. :: Lets go of it::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::waits around for the FCO return, holds of from informing the commander::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: How's it coming along ens?

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The FCO appears in the shuttle.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: So we need to find a substitute for human bioelectrical signals in order to open the portal?

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Places the Test Canister on the Transport pad:: *CIV*:  Alright, the test canister is on its way.  ::Energizes::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The FCO appears back in the chamber.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: agreed. :: Thinks for a minute::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Grabs the test canister and hauls it to one of the stasis pods::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Not we just need to figure out how to activate the stasis pods ::scans the pods with his tricorder::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::is waiting for the CEO to answer him::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ CTO: ::signs:: Not very far.

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: Could a series of bioneural packs work in some way?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Ok, well I'm not a engineer but if you need my assistance just ask

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Nods::  CIV:  Not sure how to go about that.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: it could. We'd have to make one or two mods to it but I'd say it would work

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Grins slightly:: CIV:  To confess, I'm not really sure how these test canisters work.

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@CMO: Sir I could go back to the ship and get some

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#FCO: Well, lets just try activating the canister in the stasis pod, maybe it will happen automatically

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: We'll need to get back to the Seleya to make the adjustments i think.  Although deciding whether the amendment should be made in ME or Sickbay could be argued  ::grins a little::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves back to the Command Chair, and hits the button on his console ::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ CTO: Thanks I'll let you know if i need it .

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Nods::  CIV:  Ok... ::Looks at the CIV::  Ummm, maybe you should let me do that sir.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::nods to the CEO and steps back a bit giving her space to work::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*All Away Teams*: All Away Teams, this is the Seleya. Our newest information appears to suggest that these gates are in fact inter-dimensional gates, not local ones. As such, exercise even more caution. Muir out.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@::Looks at the EO's Grin:: EO: I'd say sickbay would be the better chose

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@*ACO*: CMO to the captain

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@::Walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Should I go watch the portal in case it becomes active again

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Grins her affirmation to the CMO::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::shakes his head:: TO: Negative, you stay with the CMO's team, provide protection, I'll watch the portal

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: It is several hours later. The teams on both planets have been co-ordinating on their projects, and will activate at the same time.

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#CIV:  Were set here sir.

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
::Walks back to CMO's team:: Self: I feel useless here

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO*: We are set down here, waiting on the other away teams

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged Lieutenant. FCO, CIV: Both you you are to be on your guard....

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::stands a few feet back from the portal, holding his rifle down but ready to raise it at any second::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#*ACO*: Yes sir.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@::See the TO come over:: TO: Ah Ens can to scan the pods and tell us if anything changes while we are gone. EO: ok we better get back to the Seleya

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant Viren's team is ready to proceed. Have yourself and Ensign Croft in position should anything go wrong, and instruct Ensign Morgan to switch this thing off at the earliest sign of trouble. Remember, be diplomatic!

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CMO: I'm ready to transport when you are

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO*: Understood

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::Walks up next to the CMO, making her presence next to him known::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::Finds good cover and takes aim at the portal::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@*ACO*:  CMO to the Seleya two, to beam up to sickbay

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::spins to the TO:: TO: Get ready, but do not raise or discharge your weapon without my command. ::turns to the EO's direction:: EO: Ens, be ready to shut that thing off should need be

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@::Walks near to the portal and crouches down behind a boulder rifle ready to fire::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CMO*: Is someone injured?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::stands at a safe distance from portal, going over readings from probe::

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@*ACO*: No sir why?

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: Ok then you ready to turn it on?

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CMO*: Then remain where you are, you may both be required on site...

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
*ACO*: Francis to Muir.

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@*ACO*: Yes sir Cloud out

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*SO*: Go ahead?

EO_Ens_Morgan says:
@CTO: I can try to disconnect the portals from the power source, but i can't guarantee it'll turn it off

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::checks everyone's position::

FCO_Ensign_A'an says:
#::For the order to activate::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@EO: Understood

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
*ACO*: Sir, I've made some progress deciphering the colour patterns and the noises.  I'm forwarding the results to the bridge.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Sends the processed signal data to the bridge ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@TO: Remember, don't fire without my order and watch your fire, we don't want this chamber to come down on us

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*SO*: Understood. Will you be reporting up here soon?

CMO_LtJG_Cloud says:
@EO: We may have to blow out one of the pods to do it

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
*ACO*: Yes sir, as soon as I secure the Lab.

TO_Ens_RCroft says:
@CTO: Yes Sir! Understood Sir!

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*Away Teams*: This is Commander Muir... Do it.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::activates the test canister then drops back into a defensive position::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Secures his console, saves the data and walks out of the lab ::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The portals flicker, the frames light up, but no field forms across the opening.

Host SM-Lyon says:
