Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Any readings from the surface yet?

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CEO: I do, I have an honour degree in field repair

Host EO_Martins says:
#::marks the faulty circuit and gropes around for the hyperspanner:: CIV: Can you give me that wrench?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@TO: Great!

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:

ACO: It's a delicate process...  If they rush it, something may well go wrong

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::watches the TO work on the console while keeping and eye on her tricorders readings::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: I know that, it just seems to be taking ages...

Host EO_Martins says:
#::emerges triumphantly from under the console:: *CEO*: I got the sucker, ma'am. Starting repairs now.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@::looks at tricorder:: TO: Sure did.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#EO: So you’re almost done under there?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Makes a small apologetic gesture and gets back to his console ::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CEO: ....What Sir?

Host EO_Martins says:
#CIV: Aye, sir. A few more minutes.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ TO: Fix the circuit .

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::starts to drum his fingers off his rifle and looks over his shoulder to the CEO and TO::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Shrugs his shoulders and walks forward to the helm, resting both hands on the chair ::

Host EO_Martins says:
#::does another scan with his tricorder, picks up an isolinear alignment tool and runs it over the board a few times::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@All: Those of you who are armed remember, set to stun only

Host EO_Martins says:
#::takes an internal adjustment tool, and pokes the board a few times.:: CIV: That should get the thing going.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#EO: Good work, crewman

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@All: And don't shoot first

Host EO_Martins says:
#::pokes the board a few more times, crawls back under the console and starts fitting it back into the console systems again::

Host EO_Martins says:
#CIV: This is almost like fixing my kid brother's games... was forever breaking and I had to solder new circuits and fuses and transistors and whatnots on for him.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::moves back to the CEO:: CEO: How is the repairs going?

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Starts fixing the broken circuit::

@::Some minutes later :: CEO: It's done

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: Good ::turns away and heads back tot he centre of the chamber::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::taps his combadge:: *ACO*: We are all done, down here, Sir.

Host EO_Martins says:
#CIV: If you don't mind, sir, I would like to return to the ship. I have a mountain of work waiting for me.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Gets up, turns around and picks up the phaser rifle and hand phaser:: CEO: Glad to help

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ TO: Alright lets put this panel back on

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ TO : Thanks for the help.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#EO: Granted, you may return to the ship

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: pushes some buttons on console to see if anything’s changed::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV* Excellent work, Lieutenant. Standby for the other team.

Host EO_Martins says:
#CIV: Thanks, sir. ::requests a beam out from the ship and disappears in a swirl of blue::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@CEO: We ready here?

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@CEO: OK ::Slings phaser rifle over shoulder and puts hand phaser in hip holder, turn and give CEO hand with panel::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ CTO: Ready, Sir.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Sir, we're all set here

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CTO* Acknowledged. Stand-by.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV, CTO*: Both of you are about to make contact with this species for what we hope to be a more agreeable relationship than our previous attempts. I want you to put diplomacy ahead of everything, except your own lives. If you, or any AT members are in danger, return to the ship immediately. With that said, go for it.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Stand by on those sensors, Lieutenant.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: Aye, aye, sir.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Focuses extra sensor bandwidth the away teams' locations ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO* Aye, Sir, I will do my best

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Understood sir

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ CTO: Should I try pushing buttons on this console?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@CTO: To activate the portal.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::scans the console and tries to activate the portal::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::nods tot he CEO:: CEO: Do it

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: pushes a sequence of buttons on console::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::randomly presses buttons::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The two consoles light up, the swirling colors returning to the screen. The portals both turn blue, and the force field appears inside the frame.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: turns to look at portal::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::looks up at the portal and moves in front of the console::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Turns and see the portal is working, movers to take cover by a rock close to the portal::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: looks at tricorder::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::looks at the portal::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: Again the faint shapes can be seen. Someone approaches each of the portals and steps through.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Watches the two sensor readouts closely ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Put the sensor readings on the viewer, please...

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::takes a deep breath::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Does his best to convert the raw data into a live image and puts it on screen ::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: blinks slowly to make sure she’s not seeing things::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::stares at the shape entering the portal::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The crew stares at the alien stepping through. They look like complete mechanical constructs, with a clear dome on top of the head. Four legs and three arms adorn the central torso. Inside the clear dome floats what looks like a brain.

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@:: Rises phaser rifle from shoulder::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Watches the somewhat hazy sensor image on the main view screen and his console at the same time ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::motions for the TO to lower his rifle::

Host Aliens says:
%::looks at the soft, pinkish life forms and files them as harmless::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: looks at tricorder readings::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@:: Lowers phaser rifle after prompting by CTO::

Host Aliens says:
%::ignores the life forms and walks over to the console::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#Aliens: I am Lt Armen Viren of the Federation Starship Seleya, it is a pleasure to meet you

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@Self: Ok here goes nothing ::slowly steps forward and points at himself:: Alien: I am Lt_Darklighter of the USS Seleya ::slowly points at the alien in a hope he'll understand him::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ CTO: ::whispers:: They are completely mechanical except for there central brain, sir.

Host Aliens says:
%::hears sounds emanate from the soft forms, and analyzes it.::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Watches with interest from the bridge ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::analysis his tricorder reading, trying to not look hostile::

Host Aliens says:
%::proceeds to the consoles, raising on the back two legs, to facilitate faster working conditions - five arms to do input controls::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::hears the CEO and slowly nods to acknowledge her statement::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::slowly moves away from console::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#::wonders if the alien understands him, or just ignoring him::

Host Aliens says:
ACTION: Both aliens start inputting codes and voice commands into the console, working for a few minutes.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Notes that the creatures are mainly mechanical, with bioneural control system. ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::follows the alien but keeps his distance and motions the CEO to keep scanning::

TO_Ens_Croft says:
@::Start's raising phaser rifle again, then see the CEO moving away from the console::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ ::records the sounds the aliens are making ::

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: Sir, out database is being downloaded and new data is being uploaded simultaneously!

Host Aliens says:
%::finishes the input on the consoles and goes down on fours again, turning towards the portal::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Isolate the new data, and put it safely away from the rest of the system, I don't want the Seleya infected.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: How much of the database did they take?

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: Should I cut off the download?

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::stand walking backwards:: *ACO* Sir looks like their leaving, orders?

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: moves back over to console ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
<starts>

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: The whole thing.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: No, just try to restrict access to any confidential and personal documents.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
CTO: Continue your efforts to make contact with them... other than that, there isn't much you can do.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Hits a few keys to isolate the incoming data in its own sector ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#Alien: It our job to seek new life forms, new species and we are interested in learning more about you.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
:: Tries to isolate all the duty and personal logs, and classified files ::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: checks tricorder readings on the console::

Host Aliens says:
%::has listened to the soft forms speaking and analyzes the downloaded data. When they speak the message can be heard on the ship as well:: All: We are sorry for our intrusion into your dimension. You must leave immediately. Our technology will decompose in five minutes, and seal the caverns.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CTO* Convince then otherwise, Lieutenant!

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CEO* How likely is that threat?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#Alien: There is no need to apologize, you are not an intrusion

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*CIV* Evacuate yourself and your team back to the shuttle, Lieutenant.

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@Alien: Wait, we're not mad at your intrusion, we wish to find out more about your race

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: The transfer is finished.  They've uploaded information about their species... and an apology for violating our dimension.

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*ACO* Aye Sir

Host Aliens says:
ACTION: The aliens walk back to the portal and as they disappear from view, the portals shut off.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ * CEO *:  I'd rather  be on the safe side and assume that they will follow through.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*SO*: That's it? Hoe much of the database did they take?

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
#*Shuttle* Energize

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Frowns ::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@::sighs and turns to his team:: All: All right get your gear and lets get out of here

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: walks around gathering up her gear::

CTO_Lt_Darklighter says:
@*ACO* Sir the alien left, request permission to return to the Seleya

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
*Away Team* Return to the Seleya, it seems your mission on the surface has come to an abrupt, but at least a positive end.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Get a lock on the Away Team and beam them back.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: They copied our scientific, engineering and medical databases.  No information was damaged or removed.

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: waits for beam up::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: Even as the away teams leave, the portals, consoles and stasis units start to melt, the roof looking very unstable.

SO_Lt_Revell-Francis says:
ACO: Aye, sir.  :: Locks onto both away teams at the same time and energizes ::

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
SO: Hmm... I'm still not sure I care for that type of intrusion, but at least we have something to show for it.

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The teams disappear in a swirl of blue.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Muir says:
:: Moves forward to the FCO's console ::

CIV_LtJG_Viren says:
::looks at the shuttle's sensor reading of the chambers, and plots a course back to the Seleya::

CEO_Ens_Kice says:
@ :: stands on transporter pad glad to be back on the Seleya::

Host SM-Lyon says:
<<<<< Pause mission >>>>>>
