USS Apache
Mission 204
10401.30
"Lost & Found"

Prologue: The crew of the USS Apache are waking to a lovely morning for day 2 on the unknown planet. Some are feeling well rested, other are suffereing from hangovers, others are still groggy. The crew have yet to fully take in their surroundings....

             <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Storal says:
::drinking his cup of raktajino as he strolls around the campsite::

XO_Naegle says:
::just waking up, Armen in her arms still::

CSO_Marsland says:
::rolls over in his pod, shivering, and startles awake::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::opens his eyes and bounds upwards as he quickly readjusts his uniform, and shouts:: Sunshine: GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!! ::grins::

EO_McGuyver says:
::pulls out of bed with a nasty hangover::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: walking around the campsite watching everyone getting started for the day::

CMO_Powers says:
::still asleep::

Host CO_Storal says:
All: Another day in Starfleet...every meal a banquet...every paycheck a fortune..every formation a parade...I love Starfleet. ::grins::

Action: A flock of birds take flight from a nearby tree at the FCO's outburst

XO_Naegle says:
::gently nudges Armen:: Armen: Honey? It's time to wake up.

CNS_Solaa says:
::making something edible at the camp fire for breakfast::

CSO_Marsland says:
::wakes up fully, and looks around, realizing their being on the planet wasn't a dream::

EO_McGuyver says:
::Throws his bottle in the direction of the loud voice::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::ducks as a bottle flies his way:: EO: It's your fault you were drinking. ::grins::

Armen says:
::sucks in a deep breath and stretches, still groggy and a little unwilling to wake up::

CSO_Marsland says:
::jumps up and straightens his uniform, walking outside to take in the morning air::

EO_McGuyver says:
FCO: I enjoyed it. ::burps::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::walks over to the bottle and picks it up:: EO: No littering, we don't plan to be here long. ::takes it back to his pod and stores it away::

XO_Naegle says:
Armen: Come on, honey.  Mommy has to get up and go to work.  And I want to make sure you're all right before I go.

CMO_Powers says:
::pulls the blanket more tightly over him and rols over::

EO_McGuyver says:
::pulls himself back into his covers::

Host CO_Storal says:
::he knows its not Raktajino.. but he believes it is...it makes it taste better.::

Armen says:
::nods and snuggles down deeper:: XO: Co.... Co.... ::yawns::.... Connie will take care of me....::voice fades off into sleepiness::

CSO_Marsland says:
::grabs his tricorder, and walks over to a clearing to get to work::

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks around and smiles at the beautiful day ahead::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
::Sees the CO as he is walking, quickly straightens his uniform:: CO: Good morning captain

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Good morning, Tom... ::sighs:: Nothing like a nice day to lift our spirits, eh?

CSO_Marsland says:
::Taps his commbadge:: Computer: What day and time is this?

XO_Naegle says:
::feels around for some rations:: Armen: Good, I'll put some rations here for you when you wake up, completely.

EO_McGuyver says:
FCO: Hold all my calls.

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: Morning Mr. Grey-feather. ::grins::

Armen says:
::nods sleepily and drifts off again::

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: It is a nice day.  Although the sooner I'm back aboard a starship, the better.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Did you get any sleep sir?

Action: There is no answer from Tom's commbadge

CNS_Solaa says:
::takes a bite of something warm and gooey and makes a face::

XO_Naegle says:
::gets up and climbs out of the pod:: CO/CTO: Good morning, Gentlemen!

CSO_Marsland says:
::taps it again, listening for the familiar beep::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: The computer's kinda destroyed, if you haven't noticed by now.

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I was in and out of it mostly. But I'm used to little sleep.

EO_McGuyver says:
::gets out of the Pod to try and stop the tapping::

Action: Something rustles in the bushes nearby

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: straightens :: XO: Good morning commander.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Good morning Janet. How did the two of you sleep?

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Thanks.. ::mutters and opens his tricorder, looking at the chronometer to see what it reads::

CMO_Powers says:
::grumbles something unintelligable::

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks and finds that the Doctor had overslept. Sneaks evilly off to wake him up::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks off in the distance:: CSO: Did you hear that? ::activates his tricorder::

XO_Naegle says:
CO: He's still sleeping actually.  I hope when he wakes up completely, he'll be okay.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks up:: FCO: Hear what?

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: I'm sure he will be fine. Connie will take good care of him while your off leading the survey team.

Action: The CNS steps in something squishy. When she looks down, she sees she is ankle deep in a pile of little brown balls that are giving off a repugnant odour.

EO_McGuyver says:
FCO/CSO: Got anything in that medkit for a hangover?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: I'm sure he will.  So how many of us are up right now?

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks down:: Self: Oh, my God... what IS this???

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks to see if his tricorder has a star chart of the region of space they were in::

CNS_Solaa says:
Self: Forgot about the wildlife...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: You should have gotten up sooner sir the sunrise on this planet is impressive

CSO_Marsland says:
::mutters at the EO:: EO: Check the escape pod, do I look like a medic to you? I have work to do!

XO_Naegle says:
:: grabs a packet of rations as she talks::

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I know.. I thought I would squeeze in about five more minutes.

Action: The CNS can see a row of neatly placed tracks that run right along behind the pods, they look like they belong to some kind of deer-like creature.

EO_McGuyver says:
::wishes he had a bottle to thow at the CSO::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: I thought I heard something... oh well.

CNS_Solaa says:
::hops up and down, takes off her boots and socks, and evades the feces, noting the tracks::

Host CO_Storal says:
All: Listen up...everyone get something to eat if you haven't done so already. We have a long day.

EO_McGuyver says:
::Gets a hypospray for hangovers and injects himself::

CNS_Solaa says:
::waltz's into the pod where John is sleeping and pounces on him:: John: Wakey wakey! You overslept!

XO_Naegle says:
::munches on whatever's in the ration packs:: All: Once you finish eating, I'd like to ask for volunteers to go on a survey of this planet!

Action: The EO is so groggy he accidentally injects himself with a stimulant and suddenly is wide awake and feeling a lot peppier.

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks back to his pod, and grabs a PADD as well as a ration pack, and looks at the star chart of the region the Apache was in when it was destroyed::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::grabs a piece of solid gruel and chomps greedily:: XO: I volunteer, commander!

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: Were the watches uneventful? ::takes another sip of coffee::

EO_McGuyver says:
ALL: WHAOOOOOOO!YAHOO!AIYEEEE!

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Go away, leave me alone. ::looks up and sees that it is Ryn:: err... I mean 'morning, thanks for waking me.

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs:: John: Dunno what time it is, but you're the only one sleeping, so get up!

XO_Naegle says:
::notes it on her PADD:: FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant. All: anyone else?  Otherwise, I start volunteering you!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Aye sir, nothing to report on my watch...either one of them ::hoping to sneak the last part past the CO::

EO_McGuyver says:
XO: I volunteer.

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: ::does a double take:: CTO: You took more than one watch?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I'm getting up. What is that smell?

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks up to the CO:: CO: Captain, star charts show no planet within 4 days travel of where the Apache blew up. I think we did drift into a quantum rift. Any suggestions on how to determine it for sure?

XO_Naegle says:
EO: Thank you, Mr. McGuyver. All: Okay, I'll need about two or three more.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: stammers a bit :: CO: Aye sir I have been on duty since the morning of the attack.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Something made a mess outside the pod, and I stepped in it. Left my boots outside.

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I see. Make sure you get some rest tonight. That is an order.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Sir, I volunteer for the Away Team as well.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: You should go clean them off. I'll get up.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Aye sir, I will try

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: I thought you might, Lieutenant.  Thank you.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: The surroundings, trees, bushes, etc. Would have a different phase variant in thier genetic makeup that we do.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
XO: Do you still need volunteers ma'am :: trying to change subjects with the captain::

Action: Another rustle is heard near the encampment.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Right. ::swipes off his blanket to make him get up and goes outside::

Host CO_Storal says:
::takes another drink:: CSO: At least that's where I would start.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Okay, you must have heard that! ::activates his tricorder and scans in the general vicinity::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Yes, I do. Thank you. But take it easy, I heard what you were saying to the Captain.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Of course sir, silly me. Let me go take a sample and see. ::whirls:: ALL: What was that?  ::begins to scan with his tricorder::

CMO_Powers says:
::slowly gets up and does all his getting up stuff::

CNS_Solaa says:
::scrapes off her boots with a rock and the grass and puts her socks and boots back on, noting that there is still a faint odor:: Self: Yuck...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
XO: I am fine commander, really.  Want to arm wrestle so I can prove it? :: smiles ::  Ready when you are :: flexes his large biceps ::

CMO_Powers says:
::avoids the animal dung as he heads outside and growls at some ensigns::

XO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: CTO: I'll take your word for it.

Host CO_Storal says:
::pokes the CTO in the stomach like the Pilsbury doughboy to make him flinch:: CTO: Yea...sure you are. ::laughs::

CSO_Marsland says:
::keeps scanning as he walks towards a bush and pulls a few leafs off, and scans them for their phase variance::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: jokingly folds over :: CO : Guess I better hit the gym more often

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks towards the captain:: CO: Morning, sir!

XO_Naegle says:
FCO/EO/CSO/CTO: Bring tricorders and one hand phaser apiece. I don't want us to be injured by any wild animals.

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Morning ::grins:: Sleep well...

CNS_Solaa says:
XO/CTO: Commander, Ensign. ::nods to them::

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: Counselor, how did you sleep?

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I guess you better.

CMO_Powers says:
::heads over to where the food is... and everyone else::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO/XO: As well as could be expected from sleeping in that pod. ::laughs::

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: I bet!

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir. ::straps his phaser to his side:: XO: All ready.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: double checks his belt to make sure his tricorder and phaser are still there :: XO: Ready to go.

FCO_Ilianor says:
XO: Don't worry, I've got my phaser, sir... ::steps closer to the XO::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: What's happening?

XO_Naegle says:
FCO/EO/CTO/CSO: Are we ready to go?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: smiles at the counselor :: CNS: Good morning

Action: As the CSO takes some readings of the foliage, he notices that the phase variance with that of himself and the plantlife do not differ. He does however note that the plantlife is that of several earlier species similiar to what can be found on Earth.

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: The XO is about to depart on a survey mission.

CSO_Marsland says:
::steps over to the XO:: XO: Ready when you are Commander. ::grins::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: nods to the XO::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::chomps up the last little bit of solid gruel:: XO: Ready, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::smiles back at the CTO:: CO: Great!

CSO_Marsland says:
::mutters to self:: Self: Odd!

XO_Naegle says:
EO: Mr. McGuyver? You ready?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: What? ::looks over his shoulder::

CSO_Marsland says:
::waves at the CO:: CO: Captain, could you come over here please, I need you to look at this.

EO_McGuyver says:
XO:Yes. ::finishes grabbing his gear::

CMO_Powers says:
::grabs something to eat and heads over to where the CO is::

CSO_Marsland says:
::shows his reading to the FCO::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
XO: Would you like me to take point ma'am

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks up and walks over to the CSO:: CSO: What is it Lieutenant?

CNS_Solaa says:
::follows the Captain and walks over to the CSO::

CSO_Marsland says:
::shows his readings to the CO:: CO: Sir, my readings show no phase mismatch, but species indicative of an earlier Earth... Very odd.

EO_McGuyver says:
::follows the XO::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Yes, please. Let's go

FCO_Ilianor says:
::activates his phaser and follows the XO::

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks at the CSO's readings:: CSO: Well at least we aren't in a different dimention.. that's good news...

CNS_Solaa says:
::is puzzled by the CSO comment:: CSO: So... we're on Earth?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Is it all right if I take Mr. Marsland with me?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Maybe those rifts were something similar to a wormhole?

CMO_Powers says:
CSO/CNS/CO: Maybe the Romulans were working on time travel. To take over the Federation before it started.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: Takes the point at starts out of camp:: All: Well if there is something dangerous you all will be the second to know :: laughs::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Yes.. get your team together and get going. Look for anything else out there that would shed some light on your readings. ::looks over at the CMO::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Oh, I hope not... but that wouldn't make much sense...

XO_Naegle says:
::starts to walk away from the main camp with the team of surveyers::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: I'll keep an eye out sir, I have a few ideas.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: They'd have no technology and surely they have something of a Prime Directive in they're culture...

CSO_Marsland says:
@::walks along next to the XO::

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: Mr. Powers I want you to go as well. Take some samples of various fauna and run some tests. I want to know when or where these plants came from.

EO_McGuyver says:
::readies his phaser::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Sure it would. You do remember the Romulans are sneaky, devious and underhanded don't you?

XO_Naegle says:
@CSO: Maybe you will find more evidence that will help you.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Well, yeah, but still.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::activates his PADD as he walks, and instructs it to calculate star positions as seen from Earth if this were 10401.30::

CMO_Powers says:
CO: I'm a doctor, not a botanist sir. I wouldn't know what to look for.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::yells back to the CMO:: CMO: Just take samples and help me!

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: Well confer with Mr. Marsland.

XO_Naegle says:
@::activates her tricorder as they set out:: CMO: Coming, John?

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Oh, go on, John. Just pick some plants.

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: Perhaps.

CMO_Powers says:
XO: If I have to. ::grumbles something about it being too early and heads off after the away team::

EO_McGuyver says:
@XO: What are we looking for exactly?

XO_Naegle says:
@CTO: Keep an eye out for wild animals.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Check in every twenty minutes...

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs and yells after him:: CMO: Pick some pretty ones, while you're at it!

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: One way to determine if we're in a different time period would be to see the stars. We could get a rough estimate anyways.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Yes ma'am, I am.

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: I'll help you alright Self: help him shove his head up his...

XO_Naegle says:
@EO: Anything that might help us figure out how to get back home.

Action: The Scout Team heads off into the brush to do some more research and find out what they can of where they are.....

XO_Naegle says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: And us, sir? Hold down the fort?

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CSO: I see the Romulans have been busy, whatever they've done to this region of space... or wherever we were...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: watches the surroundings as the continue:: Himself: So now I am a 24 century version of an indian scout...

EO_McGuyver says:
@XO: A ship would be nice Sir.::says with a grin::

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Pretty much.

CSO_Marsland says:
@FCO: We're not sure yet. Let's see where we are first.

XO_Naegle says:
@EO: Well, we don't have one. ::grins:: Try something else.  Like, I don't know, coconut shells?

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Alright, then. Care to join me with a tube of pod paste?

CSO_Marsland says:
@::picks a few more plants, trying to determine if they're from a past Earth::

CSO_Marsland says:
@::looks for Luna in the early morning sky::

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Uh...no.. I already ate.

XO_Naegle says:
@::walks with her tricorder, also picking up plant leaves and keeping an eye out for animals::

CMO_Powers says:
@::catches up with Tom:: CSO: It's too early. Actually, what time is it?

Host CO_Storal says:
::sits down and begins to go thru the initial readings of the planet::

Action: A large white deer suddenly dashes out into the path of the scout team, it's running quite erratically as if being chased by something....

CSO_Marsland says:
@CMO: About 0700.

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs:: CO: Suit yourself! Let me know when they get back with the plant samples. I'd like to see them, please.

XO_Naegle says:
@All: Watch out!

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO: Way too early.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@All: Ack, careful... ::watches as the deer runs across the path...::

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: I'm sure you will know when they return...you will hear Mr. Powers grumbling.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: sees the deer and readies his phaser ::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::stands ready and tries to see what is chasing the deer::

CSO_Marsland says:
@::scans the deer::

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO: We could hunt one of those for dinner.

XO_Naegle says:
@CTO: Don't shoot unless he attacks.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Understood

CSO_Marsland says:
@::looks up to see the color of the sun::

Action: The CSO picks up the deer retreating away from the team. He then notices something much larger heading straight for the Away Team.

XO_Naegle says:
@CMO/CSO: We will not be hunting the local wildlife at this point and time, understood?

CSO_Marsland says:
@ALL: Guys, something big is heading this way, and fast! ::readies his phaser::

XO_Naegle says:
@All: Take cover until we see what it is!

CMO_Powers says:
@::Looks towards the big thing::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::Hears the CSO and readies his phaser::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@XO: If we move to native sources of food, we can conserve our rations for when an emergency comes up, sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::crouches and steadies his phaser::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::takes a good cover from which he can fire::

XO_Naegle says:
@::takes cover and readies her phaser::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: ducks behind the nearest tree and get ready to shoot::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::takes cover, and looks around...::

CMO_Powers says:
@::takes cover::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::aims and steadies his phaser::

Action: The snapping of branches and large limps can be heard as well as heavy grunting. The CSO's readings indicate it is over 10 feet tall.

CSO_Marsland says:
@ALL: It's pretty big, at least 10 feet!

EO_McGuyver says:
@::Sets his phaser to kill or in other terms extra crispy::

XO_Naegle says:
@::whispers:: FCO: We will use the native fauna for food, to supplement our rations, not the meat of the planet, understood?

XO_Naegle says:
@CSO: Can you tell WHAT it is?

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks back to gets some pod paste and tries to force herself to eat it::

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO:It's a dinothingy isn't it... you know, the ones with the big bones in the museums.

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: No sir, nothing that I can tell for sure.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: Hears the CSO and shoots a "got to be kidding look"::

XO_Naegle says:
@CSO: How close is it getting?

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: Within 100 feet, and closing quickly Commander. And by the way, look at the sun.

XO_Naegle says:
@CSO: What about the sun?

Action: Through the trees the scout team sees a huge bear-like creature bounding toward them it pauses suddenly and sniffs the air as if trying to smell something. It looks toward the direction of the deer, pauses, then turns and heads directly for the away team....

EO_McGuyver says:
@::aims his weapon at the thing::

XO_Naegle says:
@ALL: Phasers to stun only!  Fire!

EO_McGuyver says:
@::fires::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@Self: My God... it's so ugly!

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: It's purple! ::aims and fires::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::fires at the bear in spite of himself::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: aims trying to lead the shot. Fires::

XO_Naegle says:
@CSO: A purple bear like creature? ::fires::

Action: The bear howls in pain and bears down on the scout team, the stun settings having little effect.

EO_McGuyver says:
@::Increases his setting to max and fires::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@::cranks up the setting on his phaser and fires again::

CMO_Powers says:
@::throws something at it and wishes he'd brought a phaser... or a rocket launcher::

XO_Naegle says:
@All: Fire to kill!  We have no choice!

CSO_Marsland says:
@::sets phaser to max and fires again::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::Continues firing::

CNS_Solaa says:
::hears something away from the camp and looks up to see what the heck it is::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::cranks up the intensity of his phaser:: CSO: This feels wrong! ::fires!::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@::Kicks his phaser into overdrive and fires again at the creature ::

XO_Naegle says:
@FCO: It is wrong, Mr. Ilianor, but we have no choice.  I'll take responsibility for the action.

Action: The bear falters back and shakes his head, he writhes in pain before falling over dead.

EO_McGuyver says:
@::Fires some more::

EO_McGuyver says:
@::stops firing::

CSO_Marsland says:
@::stops, walks up to the creature and tries to identify it from the database::

XO_Naegle says:
@::peeks out over the foliage:: All: Okay, let's try to figure what this thing is.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: walks over to the creature and looks at it.  Trying to make sure it is out for the count::

XO_Naegle says:
@::taps her combadge:: *CO*: Naegle to Storal, Come in please.

EO_McGuyver says:
@::does the same and thinks mmmmm dinner::

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*: Storal here, go ahead Commander..

Action: Steam rises from the concaved, charred, burnt-to-a-crisp, toasted, fried and well-done chest cavity of the animal.

CMO_Powers says:
@::stays a safe distance away from the bear like creature::

XO_Naegle says:
*CO*: Sir, we've had a run in with a local mammal.  We had to kill it, sir.  We had no choice.

CMO_Powers says:
@XO: Looking at the body, I'd have to say that the stick I threw must have killed it.

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*: I understand. Can you identify it?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: looks at the hole in the animal and then at his phaser :: Aloud: Zounds these things do pack a whallop.

XO_Naegle says:
@*CO*: It's a bear like creature, sir.  But an odd color.

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*: Explain?

XO_Naegle says:
@CMO: Yeah that was it, John, that was it.

XO_Naegle says:
@*CO*: It's brown, but not quite the color that we're used to.

CMO_Powers says:
@XO: I can also tell that it is a lawyer, has a wife and two children and wishes he was a childrens television presenter.

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*: Acknowledged. Does it match anything that's in our database?

CNS_Solaa says:
::thinks to herself that John is probably not picking any plants and so goes off to the edge of the campsite to pick something leafy::

XO_Naegle says:
*CO*: We're still checking on that, sir.  As of right now, no.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::bends down and continues to scan the uncharred regions of bear::

XO_Naegle says:
@CMO: What did you have to drink last night, John?

CSO_Marsland says:
@XO: Appears to match a regular Earth brown bear, just slightly larger Commander.

CMO_Powers says:
@XO: Half a bottle of whiskey. It's all I have left so I'm rationing it.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: looks at the creature then at the XO :: XO: We bearly got this thing killed before it got to us :: grins ::

XO_Naegle says:
@*CO*: It appears to match a regular Earth bear, sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*: Very well. Continue with your survey. Take a complete reading of the mammal. We can go over it later.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::groans at the CTO's joke, as he leans down closer to the bear's carcass, frowning::

Action: The CSO picks up nothing else of interest on the tricorder sensors. The only animals in the area are small ones that are barely a threat, but could possibly make an interesting meal. The Scout team moves on, to see what else they can find....
