Captain's log Stardate 10212.19.
Mr. Regnum is going to attempt to activate the alien device and rescue the two missing teams.  the ship is anxiously waiting for their safe return... 

>>>>>Begin "Where is everyone?" Part 9<<<<<

CTO Peters says:
 ::Heading back towards the camp.. almost there.:: *OPS*:  Mr. Regnum.. status on the generator?
 
CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Walking behind Peters, listening into the conversation::
 
OPS Regnum says:
 *CTO* I have power running to the unit, the message on this console was much simpler and I have a complete translation of this one.
 You are now known as Jogab

OPS Regnum says:
 *CTO* There were only 4 characters, the message reads "Return birthplace, press Stars"

CTO Peters says:
 *OPS*:  Gotcha.. we are coming up on your position now.  ::Listens to what he is saying.::  Hopefully birthplace is where we just came from.

Jogab says:
 ::At the camp working. working on the windmill::

OPS Regnum says:
 *CTO* I'm assuming of course that since the other message said to press farther, I'm going to assume the return trip is to press the symbol that says "stars"  I should let you know though, if it does lead somewhere else... I only brought one generator with me...

CTO Peters says:
 *OP*:  Ok but very sure.. looks like we may just have one chance at this..

CTO Peters says:
 CSO:  Well K'Tor looks like we are getting home.  ::Grins::  I'm sure between you and Regnum.. we will be back on the Artemis before dinner.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: Wait... according to the time difference between the ship and this planet, its actually approaching breakfast time right now.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: Sorry, it looks like we missed it.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: Dinner I mean.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Grins and laughs:: CSO:  What do you mean missed it?  We got another 12 hours before dinner. ::Winks at him.::

OPS Regnum says:
 *CTO* I did however bring a portable subspace transmitter, I think it might be a good idea to activate a subspace beacon here so that Starfleet can find this planet and study it further.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: If you look at it that way.

Jogab says:
 Windmill: I'm going to miss you baby... ::pats the pole holding up the windmill::

CTO Peters says:
 *OP*:  Most definitely.. please bring it online.  Also put a warning into that transmitter if you can about the dangerous animals here that way nobody gets killed investigating.

Jogab says:
 ::Calls the camp members together:: Everyone:  Gather your belongings, we should be returning through the teleporter shortly...

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Has an idea:: CTO: Sir, just in case the device DOESN'T send us home, maybe we should send a message before putting any personnel through it.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Looks sideways::  CSO:  Anything I'm forgetting?

CTO Peters says:
 CSO:  Hmmm not a bad idea.  Please set it up with Regnum.

CSO K`Tor says:
 *OPS*: Mr. Regnum, we'd like to send a message through the device before trying it on personnel. I think we can do that by transporting a combadge set to transmit a message on the other side to the Artemis. We'll need a way of activating the device though, without any of us getting too close.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Trips on a rock and falls to her knees.::

OPS Regnum says:
 ::walks outside and hooks up the Subspace Beacon and activates it, transmitting to all Starfleet vessels how the transmitter got here::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Cursing under her breath brushes the dirt of her hands then runs them through her hair.::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Walks up beside Peters and offers a hand:: CTO: OK?

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO* A good idea, any suggestions on what to send?

 CSO K`Tor says:
 *OPS*: Sure, just record a message telling them what's going on, and ask them to send a message back to verify that they got it.

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO*: how about how to activate the console?

CTO Peters says:
 ::Looks up and takes his hand and gets up. She looks down at her knees and sighs::  CSO:  Looks like a couple scraps nothing that La'i can't handle when we get home.

CSO K`Tor says:
 *OPS*: I think we should be able to use some kind of long pole or something to push the button.

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Nods to Peters::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Begins walking again.::

Jogab says:
 ::Stands back and looks at his windmill, he is proud of the long pole he cut himself from a nearby tree::

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO* How long, I have no way of knowing just how much this transporter beams away, for as much as I know it beams anyone in the entire temple

CSO K`Tor says:
 *OPS*: I'd say long enough to stand in the stairwell and push the button. We can get all the other people to stay outside the temple too.

Jogab says:
 ::thinks of how it will stand there for all time, something that he created with his bare hands.  Sighs proudly and goes into his shelter to gather some things::

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO* Seems like a lot of work, how about I just press the button and go back myself, if I don't come back, don't hit the button, if I do, we'll go back together

CSO K`Tor says:
 *OPS*: If you push the button and don't come back, we're still trapped here, only you're on some random planet rather than back on the Artemis. It only makes the situation worse.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Shakes her head at K'Tor:: CSO:  He doesn't go back.

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO* Even if I don't come back, you'll have the beacon, someone will rescue you eventually

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Nods in agreement with Peters that we don't leave anyone behind::

CTO Peters says:
 *OPS*:  Negative Regnum... just a message.  I'd hate to see you trapped somewhere again for another 4 years.

Jogab says:
 ::Picks up a jar of berries, and a PADD:: Self: Well, I guess this is everything I own... ::Decides to leave the fig-leaf shorts he was making for the day when his uniform would eventually become useless and non wearable.::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Steps out of the forest into the clearing where the survey team made a camp::

CTO Peters says:
 CSO:  Ahhh home sweet home even if it was only for a few hours.

OPS Regnum says:
 ::sigh, he doesn't like being here, it reminds him too much of his time away, but he concedes:: *CTO*: As you wish Lt. ::goes to find a big long pole::

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: It wasn't actually too bad a little place to live, I don't think.

Jogab says:
 ::Emerges from his hut with a Jar and a PADD, the rest of the camp members are standing around waiting with a few belongings::

CTO Peters says:
 CSO:  I don't think so either.. I think we could have done well here.

CTO Peters says:
 Jogab:  Jogab we are back...

Jogab says:
 CTO: Good, did you find anything?

CTO Peters says:
 Jogab:  A river.. there was fresh water here anyway...  Have you spoken with Lt Regnum?

OPS Regnum says:
 ::finds a long branch on a tree and breaks it off and comes back to the entrance of the chamber:: Glitch, you have more storage then a comm. badge, take back all my tricorder readings with you and when you get to the other side try to comm. the Artemis, then get someone to activate the transporter to come back to verify that it does indeed lead back to where we came from.

AI Glitch says:
 Regnum: Why me, do it your self!

CTO Peters says:
 ::Rubs her knees and some blood gets onto her hands and she grumbles::

OPS Regnum says:
 Glitch: Much as I'd like to, the CTO won't let me, I'll stand back here at the stairwell and use this branch to press the stars icon to activate the transporter.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Looks around for Regnum.::

Jogab says:
 CTO: yes he told us we are going home

AI Glitch says:
 Regnum: Fine, but next away mission you go on, do me a favor, leave me behind, I hate being your guinea pig

CTO Peters says:
 ::Smiles:: Jogab:  Well lets go and see what he has.  He is suppose to be sending a message back home right now.  ::Begins walking to the temple.::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Heads off with Peters and the survey team to the temple::

OPS Regnum says:
 ::walks back to the stairwell and stretches out the branch, he ducks around the wall in case it's a who can see it thing as he presses the stars icon with the end of the branch::

Jogab says:
 Camp members: This way, we are heading to the temple!  ::begins walking with CSO and CTO at the front::

ACTION : Glitch and the pole part up to the entrance of the room disappear

OPS Regnum says:
 ::looks at the cut off pole and sees some smoke at the new shorter end of it:: Self: Glad I stood back far enough, ouch, if I was just 2 feet closer I would have been cut in half

Jogab says:
 ::opens the Jar:: CSO/CTO: Berry?

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Looks over:: Jogab: What type are they?

AI Glitch says:
 @COM: Artemis: Glitch to Artemis, come in please.

CTO Peters says:
 ::looks at the Jar.:: Jogab:  Ahhh no thanks, I'm looking forward to a steak momentarily.

Artemis OPS says: 
 @*Glitch* : Artemis here, who is this?

Jogab says:
 CSO: I don't know what to call them...I found them gorging on these flowered bushes... ::Eats one:: They taste bittersweet

OPS Regnum says:
 ::marks the ground at the point where the transport ended so that he can make sure everyone is inside the radius when they transport, just to be on the safe side he makes sure to stand clear of the area in case the beam in of Glitch's return results in something happening on this side:: *CTO,CSO* Regnum to the Away team, I've sent Glitch through the transporter to contact the Artemis.

CSO K`Tor says:
 Jogab: I guess they're not poisonous, since you just ate one ::grins:: Sure pass one over.

CTO Peters says:
 *OPS*:  Excellent...  We should be there in a minute..  actually I can see the temple right now.

OPS Regnum says:
 *CSO,CTO* I also marked the ground at the point where the stick was cut off so we can make sure we are closer to the transporter then that when we activate it for real, I'm scanning the generator with my tricorder, there should still be plenty of power to power the unit for at least 5 more jumps

Jogab says:
 ::holds the jar out for the CSO:: CSO: What do you think we should call them?

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Takes one and puts it in his mouth, tasting it with interest::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Comes up behind Regnum::  OPS:  Good. Good...  So we wait for a response now.

CSO K`Tor says:
 Jogab: I don't know. You discovered them, you should name them.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Walks up beside him and looks around.::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Stops walking:: CTO/OPS/Jogab: So now we wait.

Jogab says:
 ::Stops, and motions the others too as well.:: CSO: I'm not sure what to name my berries

CTO Peters says:
 Jogab:  How about the Jogab Berry.  ::Grins::

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO/Jogab: Why not. People name stuff after themselves often enough.

Jogab says:
 CSO/CTO: True...  ::looks back:: Hey anyone want to eat Jogab's berries?

CTO Peters says:
 ::Chuckles:: Jogab::  Sure.

Jogab says:
 ::passes one to Peters::

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO/OPS/Jogab: They're good.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Takes the berry and pops it into her mouth.::  OPS:  How long do you think before we get a reply?

OPS Regnum says:
 CTO: Difficult to say, fortunately I had setup comm. relay devices in the cave so that my comm. badge worked in the temple on the other side, If Glitch has contacted the Artemis we should be seeing a big flash of light any time.

CTO Peters says:
 ::looks at the temple then back at the camp:: OPS:  I guess it's time to cross our fingers then.

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Crosses lots of fingers:: CTO: How's this?

CTO Peters says:
 ::Laughs:: CSO:  For a Vulcan you got a great sense of humor ::Winks::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Grins back::

OPS Regnum says:
 CTO: Judging by my scans of the console after I sent Glitch through it, there shouldn't be any need for them to wait, the console appears to have been ready for transport again moments after it beamed away.

ACTION : Suddenly, Ens. Lavery appears on the room next to the device, holding Glitch

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: I try. Personally I find the older ways a bit... stuffy.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: I don't think a little bit of fun is a big deal, as long as it doesn't become a problem.

CTO Peters says:
 ::sees someone suddenly appear::  SO:  Ens Lavery I believe...  ::Smiles::

Jogab says:
 ::smiles, his mouth pink from the berry juiced:: It worked!

OPS Regnum says:
 SO: Hello Ensign, glad to see you got my message.

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Stands up as Lavery arrives::

Ensign Lavery says:
 ::walks over to the Away team and nods:: OPS: I did. I have a message for everyone

Ensign Lavery says:
 All: I was told your plan worked

CTO Peters says:
 SO:  So we see.  ::Continues to smile::  All:  Let's say we pop out of here.

Jogab says:
 CTO: Sounds good

OPS Regnum says:
 SO: Thank you for delivering it.  CTO: Sounds good to me Lieutenant, I'm all for getting back to civilization, I've done enough of the "trapped on a remote world thing" ::walks over to the console and waits till everyone is inside the mark he drew on the ground::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Steps into the circle::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Chuckles and steps into the circle.::

Jogab says:
 ::Enters the circle, and so does the rest of the survey team::

OPS Regnum says:
 All: Everybody ready? Hold on to your hats. ::presses the stars icon::

Ensign Lavery says:
 ::nods to OPS:: Ops: Glad they gave me the big job to do ::smiles hoping no ones gets upset over the joke::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Grins:: CSO:  I told you we'd be home in time for dinner.

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Does some quick calculations:: CTO: Breakfast too.

ACTION : Again, the AT seem to not leave their place... But the light coming from the entrance to the chamber is gone

OPS Regnum says:
 CSO: Hey you traveled over 50 light years to deliver that message.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Winks at Lavery::  CSO:  Don't worry K'Tor doesn't bite he even has a sense a humor.

Jogab says:
 All: Wow...poof were here?

Ensign Lavery says:
 OPs: thanks for the information

OPS Regnum says:
 *Artemis* Regnum to Artemis, the gang's all here, we are heading back to the mouth of the cave to head home.

CSO K`Tor says:
 CTO: You think I should join the fitness program? I'll race you down the temple stairs.

CTO Peters says: 
::Finds herself in the cave where they originally started.::

CTO Peters says: 
::Laughs::  CSO:  You are on...  ::Begins to run::

Artemis OPS says: 
 *OPS* : Glad to hear it Lt... Were looking forward to your return.

Jogab says:
 ::starts walking forward eager to get to the Artemis and the sonic showers.  The rest of the survey teams move forward as well::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Runs with Peters::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Runs taking the steps two at a time.::

OPS Regnum says:
 *Artemis OPS* as do I, after all, you are sitting in my chair ::chuckles as he walks with Glitch under his arm back to the cave entrance::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Panting, keeps pace with Zoe::

Ensign Lavery says:
 ::follows everyone::

Jogab says:
 ::Thinks the berries must stimulate courting behavior, decides to run a full study later.::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Reaches the top and begins the run down on the temple quickly turns to see if K'Tor is still with her.::

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Runs out the door one-step in front of Zoe::

CTO Peters says:
 ::Picks up the pace... after all she is a long distance runner.::

Jogab says:
 ::Steps outside with the other team members:: Ahh I feel itchy, it must be home...

CSO K`Tor says:
 ::Manages to keep up with Peters; the planet's atmosphere has higher oxygen than K'Tor was used to on Vulcan::

OPS Regnum says:
 ::exits the cave and looks at the ugly land around him:: Self: Man I'll sure be glad to be back on the Artemis.

CTO Peters says:
 ::Runs out side the temple then remembers the dead trees.::

ACTION : As the AT and survey members reach the outside, and look at the sunlight, they feel the tingly sensation of a transporter beam.
