Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Apache's Away Team is still on the planet with shuttle problems, which will not allow them to lift off from the planet at the moment. Besides that their SO who was with them has now became lunch for one of the Planet's Creatures. Will they lose any more to the planet or will they be able to escape in time?

CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@::still trying to figure out what the problem is with the thrusters::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@::Trying to figure out what the buildup on the thruster ports is and how to get the thrusters operational again::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$::turns his chair around when the runabout exits from warp and controls the coordinates:: Self: This is the right system. ::looks for the Apache signature on SRS::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Sensors are detecting a storm on the surface.
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@FCO: Any idea what that crud is?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes her seat:: CNS: What kind of storm?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$::looks with affection at the familiar shape of a New Orleans class vessel and moves his hands to open a comm. link::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: A nasty weather storm.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@CIV: Not a clue, it appears that whatever it is it must be drawn to high intensity heat. That would explain why it was attracted to our thrusters.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Walks to his post.::
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@::scratches head:: FCO:  Maybe there's a possibility that it can be inhibited by the opposite of high intensity heat..
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$COM: APACHE: USS Apache, this is the USS Tuskegee, requesting permission to dock.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@CIV: Possibly but I fear that once we remove the substance it will just buildup again when we take off.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: Lovely.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$::inputs an approach vector at one-quarter impulse in the Runabout's helm::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: Will it affect the away team?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Most definitely.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: We should warn them.
Host Rich says:
Action: A light rain starts to fall where the shuttle is located.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: I'm sure they'll know soon enough, sir. It's heading straight their way and fast.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@Self: Great its starting to rain, that is all we need.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Also, sir. Our new executive officer is on the other line. ::smiles::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$::wonders why nobody is answering from the Apache:: Computer: Scan for life signs on the Apache.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: Oh, but him through.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::projects the XO on screen::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Checks the sensor read outs on his console, checking over any affects the storm might have on the ship.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$COM: APACHE: This is Lieutenant Commander Polo reporting from duty. Lieutenant, is Captain Rr'Vellan there?
Host Rich says:
Action: Loud thunder can be heard off in the distance.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: XO: This is she.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@CIV: We should get everyone in the shuttle to ride out this storm, it looks to be a rough one.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$COM: CO: Captain, at the end I made it. Long trip, and I would really appreciate if I could dock and meet you in person Ma'am.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: XO: Of course. TO: I think we have room in shuttle bay two.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Creates a hole in the shields for the XO to pass through.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$COM: CO: My ETA is 2 minutes, I will see you on the bridge. ::wonders why the ship has shields up::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: AT: Away Team, do you need assistance?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
$:: Pilots the Runabout inside the opening in the shields and starts docking procedures:: Self: Here we come, home sweet home! ::grins::
Host Rich says:
Action: A streak of lighting strikes the water near the island.
Host Rich says:
Action: The runabout docks with no problems.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Sends someone from the security department to meet the XO in the shuttle bay.::

TO_Sekhmanek says:
<TO Ens. O'Brien> ::Waits for the XO.::
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
::Gathers everyone up and they all board the shuttle to wait out the storm::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::opens the airlock and exits, notice the officer waiting for him and approaches him:: O'Brien: Hello Ensign.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<TO Ens. O’Brien>::Snaps to attention and salutes.:: XO: Good afternoon, sir!
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@COM: Apache: Well there appears to be some sort of build up around thruster ports on the shuttle that is preventing us from taking off, and on top of that we have this storm on top of us and it seems to be a nasty one. Any ETA on when this thing might be over?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<TO Ens. O’Brien> XO: If you would please follow me to the bridge.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::answers the salute:: O'Brien: Make way Ensign. On my way in I noticed that the shields were up, is there any danger?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<TO Ens. O’Brien>::Leads the way.:: XO: Not anymore, sir. We had a previous run-in with a Cardassian dreadnaught, but that's been taken care of.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: AT: At least an hour or so. We're not sure how bad this storm can get though.
Host Rich says:
Action: A great many of the Large creatures like the one that ate the SO come on the island and start moving towards where the shuttle is landed.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
O'Brien: A Cardassian dreadnought? here? Intriguing. But I am glad you made it through well, the ship does not seem damaged.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@::Sits at the helm of the shuttle and activates the shields to protect them against the lightning of the storm::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<TO Ens. O’Brien> XO: Yes, sir. We made it through without too much trouble. ::Stands by the TL, motioning for the XO to enter ahead of him.::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::nods to the TO and enters the TL:: O'Brien : It's been a while since I last was on a ship of this class.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<O'Brien> ::Enters the TL.:: XO: What sort of ship were you on before, sir?
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<O'Brien> TL: Bridge.
Host Rich says:
Action: lighting hits the shuttle.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::grins:: O'Brien: Captain K'Vas' USS Triton, a nebula on steroids I would say, But I was born on a New Orleans Class.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@::Monitors the shields after that lightning strike:: CIV:  That strike took the shields down to 10%. I am rerouting more power to them. But it wont be long before we are completely vulnerable. I wouldn’t be sitting or touching anything metallic if I were you.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
<O'Brien> ::TL doors slide open to reveal the bridge. Waits for the XO to exit.:: XO: Well, sir. Welcome aboard. It was a pleasure meeting you.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
O'Brien: the pleasure was mine Ensign. And thank you for guiding me here. ::turns and enters the bridge::
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Nods to the TO, who returns to his other duties.::
Host Rich says:
Action: A strong wind comes up moving the shuttle a little every so often.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@COM: Apache: This storm is getting a little bumpy down here, is it possible to beam up the science team with this storm??
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::tilts her head and looks at the TL, then stands up.  XO: Welcome to the Apache.
TO_Sekhmanek says:
::Looks to the CO.:: CO: The storm is interfering with the teleporters. I don't think it would be wise to beam them up.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
::Walks toward the center of the bridge, notices the Captain and heads toward her:: CO: Captain Rr'Vellan, is an honor to meet you. ::offers her his hand::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes the XO's hand and shakes it:: XO: Nice to meet you.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: I can't help but noticing you were having some troubles with an AT, anything I can do to help Ma'am?
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: I'm not sure, there's an electrical storm brewing that's interfering with our transporters.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: Maybe I could fly on the planet with a shuttle and retrieve them.
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle crew can hear loud thumps on the sides of the shuttle rocking it back and forth.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: Whatever we do, we need to do it fast. The Away Team is beginning to panic. 
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: The AT has had problems with their shuttle. It maybe something in the atmosphere that's causing it.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: I see, when it rain it pours. Maybe we can try to strengthen our signal to beam the up, filter out the storm disturbance.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Do you have engineering experience?
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@COM: Apache: What’s the word on transport, if the storm is interfering maybe we can use pattern enhancers or link the transporters between the shuttle and the Apache. I’m not an engineer though so I don’t know if that is possible.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: Science and engineering. I can try to see if we can boost the signal. In the meanwhile maybe they could replicate some transponders to strengthen it on the planet as well.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Go ahead
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: FCO: Do you have enough power to replicate some transport-boosted device? We will try to beam you up. But any help you can give us down there will help.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@COM: Apache: Actually Sir, we have pattern enhancers. They are standard issue on shuttles.
Host Rich says:
Action: Another lighting strike to the shuttle takes out the remaining shields.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: FCO: Activate them please ::moves toward the engineering console and tries to remodulate the transporter to adjust for any atmospheric disturbance::
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
::Pulls out the pattern enhancers and places them around the Science team and activates them:: @COM: Apache: Ok they are active, better hurry that last lighting strike just took out the remaining shields.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
*Transporter_chief*: Do you have a lock on them? Start beaming them up one at the time.
Host Rich says:
Action: Now that the shield are down the creatures attack the shuttle with more force.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: FCO: We can beam you up one at the time. How long can you hold out?
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@COM: Apache: Not long sir, they creatures have started attacking the shuttle with more force, please start by beaming the Science Personnel up.
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@::readies phaser - just in case::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: FCO: We are starting now. *Transporter_chief*: Beam them up now! One by one.
Host Rich says:
Action: The members of the AT start beam up one at a time.
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@::stands opposite the area where the creatures seem to be striking the shuttle::  FCO: I'm about ready to give one of these beasties a piece of my mind..
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: We should be done in 2 minutes Ma'am, hopefully is enough.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: I hope so too.
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
@CIV: I don't know how effective phasers will be, they went through our shields like they weren’t even there.
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
@::shrugs, keying the phaser to maximum power::  FCO: We'll see about that.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
COM: FCO: 2 minutes and you should be all up. Maybe we can help from up here if it is not enough.
Host Rich says:
Action: The last of the AT is beamed aboard.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: we made it ma'am. Wow that was close. ::smiles:: Is it always so frantic up here?
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
Transporter_Chief: Thanks for the transport, I owe you a bit of Andorian Ale later. ::Nods to the transporter_Chief as he exits the transporter room and heads for the nearest Turbo lift.:: TL: Bridge
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
::offers a grunt to the transporter chief and follows Odain::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: We have our moments
FCO_ENS_Odain says:
CIV: Well that was certainly interesting, still I would have liked to have studied that buildup on the shuttle.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: I see, glad I could help. And by the way ::hands her a PADD:: These are my orders, for the record of course.
CIV_SrChief_Matthews says:
::exhales finally::  FCO: I'm not so sure it would have been worth fighting those things for..
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Takes the PADD:: XO: Of course.
