XO_Grift says:
::Steps off of the TL onto the bridge::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*: What is your status?

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: April, what happened to the CNS?

OPS_Lys says:
:: has a strong lock on all AT members at the moment ::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
XO: Welcome Number One

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I think she went off to look at some readings or something.  Or maybe she liked the plants around here.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Saunters along nonchalantly::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: I guess that puts you in charge...lead on, MacDuff. ::grins::

XO_Grift says:
::nods to the CO::

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* We are on the planet's surface safely, still scanning the area.

SO_Webster says:
@::scans area::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Let me know when you find anything of interest.

TO_Grayson says:
Hmm hmm hmm hmmm hm...  ::beep beep boop bop bleep::

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Aye, sir.

EO_David_Telarus says:
CO: Captain I am still unable to get a clear scan of the area

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::sits in Command Chair as River exits and sits at his feet::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around for something Interesting.  Like any footprints.  Or pretzel-shaped objects.::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Still nothing on scans.

XO_Grift says:
::looks at the CO, who happens to be standing:: CO: Outranked for your chair?   ::points to river::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Understood.  Thank you, Dr. W.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Runs a hand over the back of her neck as she walks along holding her phaser at her side loosely::

Host CO_John_Sea says:

OPS_Lys says:
:: gets a sniff of something odd on the bridge, turns and is stunned to see a dog on the bridge... after staring for a second, his focus returns to his duties ::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: I've seen worse

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around::

SO_Webster says:
@::keeps walking along::

MO_Jorae says:
@::What are we doing down here again::

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Any signs of mammalian life at all, Dr. J.?

SO_Webster says:
@FCO:  The caves are about 800 meters away.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Still no other readings.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Pulls out her tricorder real fast just realizing that she should be scanning and looks up innocently:: FCO: Nothing yet.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Thanks.  That's quite a walk.... ::nods::

OPS_Lys says:
CO: The away team is roughly 800 meters from the entrance of the caves

TO_Grayson says:
::keeps tapping buttons on his console, honestly working and not playing the song on purpose...::

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Thanks, Dr. J.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
OPS: For this mission, I have delegated supervision to the XO and CMO

MO_Jorae says:
@FCO: No problem.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Somehow, it looked so much closer when we Landed... ::scans, too::

OPS_Lys says:
CO: Aye

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: Sir I am unable to get a clear scans

SO_Webster says:
@FCO:  I think the pilot landed too far away ::snickers::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: ::deadpan:: I agree.

SO_Webster says:
@::laughs::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Anything interesting happening down there, April?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::coaxes River out of the center chair with a munchie::

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Sorry, Torgh, no; we're just moseying down to the caves.  Not even a lifesign to make our day.

SO_Webster says:
@::fiddles with her tricorder, trying to get something, anything::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::fiddles with her tricorder and gets a recipe for pretzel soup.  Hurriedly switches it to scanning mode::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Acknowledged.  Just be careful down there.

XO_Grift says:
TO: Monitor all subspace channels in this sector for anything that could help us out here

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO*: Aye, sir.  We'll try.

TO_Grayson says:
XO: Yes sir

OPS_Lys says:
:: adjusts orbit to maintain a geosync position over the AT ::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Almost there...300 meters.

TO_Grayson says:
::starts tapping buttons on his console which will allow him to monitor subspace channels...oddly enough they add a great sound to the rest of his button-tapping::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Goody.  ::smiles::

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: The away team is 300 meters from the caves.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::running through the library tapes::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Thank you.  Still no ships in the area?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::closes in on the caves at a steady clip, but almost afraid to find out what's there, which might be Nothing at All:

OPS_Lys says:
CMO: Nothing on the sensors

SO_Webster says:
@::quickens her pace as the FCO picks up hers::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::taps her tricorder to see if it's Functioning.  It is.::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::stands and paces about, monitoring the view screen::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Any ideas one we get there?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sighs, wondering where the action is::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: It's almost like an abandoned playground, after the kiddies have been called to dinner.

XO_Grift says:
::walks over to the SCI console to run some scans of the surface::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Looks too quiet.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  This must be one of the worst aspects of command... having to wait for something to happen.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Hmmm, a bit more deserted than that, I'd say.

TO_Grayson says:
::finally notices the sounds his work is making...he hits a button which records the "song"::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: True...

OPS_Lys says:
:: notices everything is running fairly smoothly and is pleased ::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: What I do NOT want to find is that some Evil Advanced Society had come up with a technology so Advanced we couldn't even Detect it.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Much of command is creating opportunities and being proactive, finding the details, sometimes no news is good news ::grin::

XO_Grift says:
::Monitors the away team's progress::

SO_Webster says:
@::sees the cave entrance head:: FCO: There it is.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::so saying, she starts rotating the phase modulation of the tricorder::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Well, a Good Advanced Society would be OK.

Host Don says:
ACTION: As the away team near the caves, a musky smell is detected by all.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Wooooow, so it is!

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Very good point.  Still, my curiosity in this case is rapidly increasing.

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: The away team is approaching the caves

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I hate to be crude, but.... 'like, ewwwwwwwww.'

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: Sir I am having problems keeping a scan lock on the away team

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Report.

SO_Webster says:
@::sniffs the air:: FCO: eww...smells musky.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: What do you think is down there?

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Let's check it out

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* There is a... musky odor.

SO_Webster says:
@::heads to the cave entrance::

XO_Grift says:
EO: Could we beam down some signal relays to enhance our lock?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  I don't know.  Sensors show nothing, but I'm willing to bet there's some sort of clue in those caves.

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Got any Glade, sir?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::marches purposefully -- with a wrinkled nose -- toward the cave entrance::

SO_Webster says:
@::flips out her light as she nears the entrance::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Can you detect the source of the smell?

Host Don says:
ACTION: At the entrance of the caves, the smell is a bit stronger.

SO_Webster says:
@::scans area, trying to figure out what the smell is::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Form a hypothesis about what is in the cave and then issue orders around that educated guess

SO_Webster says:
@::covers nose:: FCO: It's getting stronger.

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* No, sir, but it IS stronger near the entrance of the cave.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Hmm, maybe the previous occupants did... whatever their business was... outside of their homes?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::tries to use the captain's advice the best he can::

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: I would have to modify them, but yes it is possible

XO_Grift says:
CMO: I think it might be a wise precaution to beam down some pattern enhancers before thy enter the caves... it would make us less likely to lose their signal

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: In a cave?  That would be ... strange.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Scrunches her nose as they get closer to the cave::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Well, I'm no anthropologist, but didn't humans live in caves a long time ago?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Good idea, sir.  OPS:  Provide the away team with pattern enhancers.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Sure, but they wouldn't stink up their living quarters, surely.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  I am sending down several pattern enhancers.  Once you enter the cave, set them up accordingly.

OPS_Lys says:
CMO: Aye, I've had them standing by  :: beams down a set of pattern enhancers ::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I don't know, is it worse inside?

MO_Jorae says:
@::Glances casually at her tricorder::

OPS_Lys (transporter.wav)

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO*: Aye, sir.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: The only thing I can tell from the scans is the smell is definitely from the previous occupants

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: So, I would guess it's worse inside.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Oh, great.  At least they're organic, then.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Proceed with caution.  There may be hostile creatures inside.

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: Sir shall I do the modifications and beam down the pattern enhancers

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO*: Aye, sir.  

SO_Webster says:
@::takes a step inside the cave and flashes light around::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::thinks that anyone with such unsanitary habits would *have* to be Hostile::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Really feels a little spacey......not being able to concentrate well::

XO_Grift says:
EO: Proceed

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks at the MO::

OPS_Lys says:
XO/EO: That has already been done

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Try to predict any dangers, which might be present and issue instructions to protect your people. Yes, exactly.

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Problems, Dr. J.?

MO_Jorae says:
@FCO: No.......I'm fine.

Host Don says:
ACTION: Inside the cave entrance is a long tunnel leading into the dark inerds of the mountain.

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: If you say so... ::looks at her a bit Suspiciously::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I sure hope this isn't their sewage system...

MO_Jorae says:
@::Turns on her wrist light and shakes her head annoyed::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Make sure your team's phasers are on stun.  Do not set to kill unless absolutely necessary.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: There's a long tunnel, but I can't see too far in.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
XO: Opinion Number One?

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Aye, sir.

XO_Grift says:
::Studies the readings the AT is relaying to the ship::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Hmm.

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: I keep losing the lock on the team can you boost some power to me.

OPS_Lys says:
:: continues to monitor the AT's condition and progress ::

XO_Grift says:
CO: Proceed with caution, phasers on stun.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
XO: I agree ::nods::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::sets up the pattern enhancers, then finally turns on her wrist light::

OPS_Lys says:
EO:  Boosting power to sensors  :: makes the adjustment ::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Err, sorry. I Forgot.

Host Don says:
ACTION: As the away team goes deeper in the cave, the Comanche loses the transporter lock.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Heads into the cave her light on.........paying a little more attention to her tricorder::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: A bit better thank you, no wait...

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: The away team has disappeared from my board

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Have you set up the pattern enhancers?

EO_David_Telarus says:
CO: Sir we are losing the transporter lock on the Away Team

SO_Webster says:
@::flashes light around, looking for signs of occupants - or at least the cause of the smell::

XO_Grift says:
OPS: Boost the signal

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Yes, sir, I just set them up half a minute ago.

OPS_Lys says:
EO: Perhaps we can adjust the sensors to penetrate the rock?

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Adjusting now

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS/XO/CO: No effect

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  We've lost our transporter lock on you.  Communications are also breaking up.

OPS_Lys says:
XO: We have sir, I can give it more power, but I don't think it will help.  The cave seems to be blocking us - we are losing communications also

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* I think I heard you, sir.

SO_Webster says:
@::scans tunnel for composition::

OPS_Lys says:
:: routes more power to sensors and communications ::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: What do you want to do?

XO_Grift says:
OPS: Understood

MO_Jorae says:
@::Not paying attention to the others with her keeps trekking along.........heading deeper into the cave::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO/MO: Anything to indicate Intelligent Beings Currently Inhabiting This-Here Cave?

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: Sir permission to go down and attempt to boost the signal

MO_Jorae says:
@FCO: Other than stench?  No.

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Thanks, Dr. J.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::frowns::

XO_Grift says:
EO: Lt.Cmdr Sanders is in charge

Host Don says:
ACTION: Sensor adjustment acquires the away team, but due to the nature and consistency of the surrounding rock of the cave, transporter lock cannot take place.

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Not yet...still scanning.

EO_David_Telarus says:
XO: Aye, sir

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  I'd like to allow them to continue searching the cave.  Perhaps one of the AT members can stay outside the entrance and act as a go-between.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Shrugs::

TO_Grayson says:
::stops playing::

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: I've got the AT back on sensors

FCO_Fielding says:
@::nods at the SO and the MO::

XO_Grift says:
OPS: Good work

EO_David_Telarus says:
CMO: Cmdr Sanders permission to beam down to the surface, sir we have the lock back but for how long...

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  They should be able to maintain communications between both the team and the ship.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Heads to a turn in the cave wall and glances beyond it shining her light down it::

OPS_Lys says:
EO: I can't get a lock though - any ideas?

SO_Webster says:
@::catches up to the MO:: MO: You getting anything?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around and doesn't see anything Interesting::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: If you feel it is reasonable, then let them proceed

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: You lost the lock again, dang try rotating the transporter frequency and increasing the pattern buffer capacity by transferring power.

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Other than a head ache, no

Host Don says:
ACTION: The away team runs across a small cave opening to the left, this is where the smell is originating.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  Not just yet.  But be prepared, just in case.

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: It seems that the composition of the caves is really hindering our systems...  boosting power is having a negligible effect

MO_Jorae says:
@FCO/SO: This way to the smell.........

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*FCO*:  Send one of your team back to the entrance. From there, they will keep a channel open between you and the ship.

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Wonderful... thanks....

FCO_Fielding says:
@*CMO* Aye, sir.

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: If not then try a triaxial covariance signal on a rotating frequency to at least get some form of communication up

OPS_Lys says:
:: has the computer rotate the transporter carrier wave frequency, looking for something that will work ::

SO_Webster says:
@::follows the MO and takes a look around::

EO_David_Telarus says:
CMO: I might be able to get the communications cleaned up more sir

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
EO:  Thank you.

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Along with that we might be able to boost the lock

MO_Jorae says:
@::Wonders what could cause such a HORRIBLE stench::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Also cleaner communications the quality is degrading the deeper they go.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Scuffs her toe on a jagged rock, but catches herself before she falls::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::wonders what's there, and where LCDR Serain's got to....::

CNS_Serain says:
@MO/ SO: You investigate the cave to the left.

MO_Jorae says:
@CNS: Where it stinks?

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Anything?

OPS_Lys says:
EO: Negative results

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: On it ::grins at the MO's response::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Military opinion?

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Head back towards the entrance, but not out of my view.

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Follows the SO with her nose plugged::

CNS_Serain says:
@MO: Yes, problem?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::goes back toward the entrance of the cave::

XO_Grift says:
::Remembers a few years back when a member of an away team was held hostage by a creature inside a cave...::

OPS_Lys says:
:: continues working on finding frequencies that will penetrate the cave ::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Sounding very denasal:: CNS: Of course not.......

EO_David_Telarus says:
CMO: Sir we are unsucessful in getting a lock and the comm signal is degrading with the increasing depth of the Away Team, suggestions sir?

SO_Webster says:
@::walks along:: MO: Look, it looks like graves. ::begins scanning::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::a bit glad to be relieved of Latrine Treasure Hunt Duty, but a bit disappointed not to find out what's going on first-hand::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  It seems like we're wasting our time here.  Maybe this planet won't tell us anything after all.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Follows the SO:: SO: Just what we need......stinky dead people.

CNS_Serain says:
@MO: Report back to me as soon as possible.

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: I am registering a power overload in the SRS array shut power down now

MO_Jorae says:
@::From down the cave a ways.......loudly and still denasal:: CNS: Gotcha.....

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Report.  Has your team discovered the source of the smell?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Do you think the away team is being risked unreasonably?

SO_Webster says:
@::grins:: MO: But maybe we'll get some answers now.  :scans some more::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: We are straining the array with constant scans

CNS_Serain says:
@::watches FCO walk away and calls out:: FCO: That's far enough.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::edges closer to the entrance, keeping one eye on the CNS's blue shirt to make sure she could see her::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Quite possibly.  If they don't find anything now, I will recall them.

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Well, it looks like these guys have been here a while...and it looks like 38 of them.

OPS_Lys says:
:: powers down the array ::

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye sir!  ::a bit loudly, so she could be Sure to be Heard::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::reroutes power off the SRS back to the main power reserve::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: I suggest you debate the merits of the mission with the XO

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Uhhuh......::Looking around::

OPS_Lys says:
EO: Array off, we are now blind to the away team 

CNS_Serain says:
@::hears an echo in the FCO's voice::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Good job let the SRS Array cool down for like 5 minutes

SO_Webster says:
@MO: I guess they used this area as a graveyard.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::  XO:  What is your opinion, sir?

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: They've been here for several years......

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Okay........I have the creeps now.....can we go?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::busily stands around looking like The Central Switching Board::

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Not just yet...I want to see if I can get information about the inhabitants.

CNS_Serain says:
@MO: Report!

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  I'm waiting for a reply, Counselor.

OPS_Lys says:
EO: I highly recommend you find a way to keep the array online at all times, a blind ship is a very dangerous thing

XO_Grift says:
CMO: I feel the risk to the away team is not unacceptable, yet. I'd let them dig around down there

SO_Webster says:
@::scans one of the graves, trying to get an analysis of one of the bodies::

CNS_Serain says:
@::stands worried about the MO and SO::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Yelling down the cave:: CNS: There are about 38 dead people down here giving me the heeby geebies..........SO Wants to investigate more.........They've been here for several years.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Understood.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::hears some kind of echo and strains to hear what's being Said::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Lys, bring the array back online and I need to do a job down in engineering to ensure this does not occur again.

SO_Webster says:
@::looks up at the MO:: MO: How can a doctor get the heeby geebies from dead people?

EO_David_Telarus says:
::heads to TL:: TL: Engineering

OPS_Lys says:
XO/CMO: While the array is down we are blind to the planet and to surrounding space

CNS_Serain says:
@MO: Several hundred years? Can you determine how they died?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::inwardly chastises himself for second-guessing himself::

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: I work with unburied dead people who I've treated....well.....sometimes treated..........These people.......well......it's just........gross.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::having nothing better to do, scans the area for any Icky Stuff::

XO_Grift says:
OPS: Array?

OPS_Lys says:
:: brings the array back on line ::  *EO* Array online

EO_David_Telarus says:
::gets off and runs to Engineering::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Still yelling:: CNS: Not several hundred..........just several years..........And the cause is not evident at the present time.

TO_Grayson says:
::lets the others work, trying not to get in their way::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Report.

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Well, definitely humanoid.  But nothing buried along with them...no tools or anything.  Think we should take a sample ::not too thrilled with that idea::

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Remain alert. We are still in an unknown environment.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Sticks the end of her tricorder in the dirt wondering if she'll find something else::

OPS_Lys says:
XO: Short range sensors.  Engineering is having a problem with having them constantly scan...  the EO had me take them offline for 5 minutes... I Just brought them back online

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

EO_David_Telarus says:
*OPS*: Thank You inform the senior bridge officers that the array is back online

MO_Jorae says:
@::Aghast:: SO: Of the bodies?

EO_David_Telarus says:
::gets engineering kit and fiddles with relays::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::remains alert, or tries, anyway::

XO_Grift says:
OPS: Advise command staff before you take any critical systems offline

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Good, that was my reaction to the idea too.  I can't get anything else from scans, though.

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Maybe a soil scan will turn something up?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::wonders what's Going On down there, and also wonders if anything Evil will Show Up Any Time Soon::

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: We are currently investigating the cave. It seems that is may be a body disposal unit of some sort.

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Good idea.  Getting anything?

EO_David_Telarus says:
Bridge: Bridge to Engineering I temporarily shut down the SRS to reroute it on the primary relay system, unfortunately it almost overloaded

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  A graveyard?

OPS_Lys says:
XO: Understood, but it was an overload situation sir, I informed you as soon as possible.

EO_David_Telarus says:
Bridge: That was luckily the bad news good news is that the SRS is now online and I have rewired it to be on a major circuit in order to keep it running longer

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Nothing on those.......These........people have been here too long.

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: Yes, you could use that term I suppose.

SO_Webster says:
@MO: Well, let's head back to the CNS.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
*Engineering* Be advised that you need command approval before taking systems offline

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Already on my way........

EO_David_Telarus says:
Bridge: I apologize Captain

SO_Webster says:
@::retraces her steps to the CNS::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::thinks she heard some Talking::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::fortunately, they are Talking Voices she Recognizes::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Have you found any clues as to where the inhabitants of this planet have gone?

MO_Jorae says:
@::Jogs out of that cave quickly arriving with her nose still plugged and out of breath::

FCO_Fielding says:
@MO: Are you okay?!

EO_David_Telarus says:
Bridge: Also one more thing I will need to reroute the deflector off of the SRS the deflector is being overworked as well I need to rewire that relay otherwise we may have an overload

SO_Webster says:
@::walks up to the

MO_Jorae says:
@FCO: You go down there with that stench and run out without being out of breath........I'm fine other than a little upset to my tummy over that smell.

SO_Webster says:
CNS:: CNS: We couldn't find anything else...humanoid, dead a couple of years.

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: Not as yet. We have only explored one "room" so far. We will be moving further in as soon as the SO and MO returns.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
*EO* Permission denied to access the deflector, please run diagnostics

EO_David_Telarus says:
Bridge: Permission to work on that system if we take it offline it will limit our range with the scanners while it is offline

EO_David_Telarus says:
Computer: Run Diagnostics

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: How is the away team?

MO_Jorae says:
@::Looks at the CNS a little confused:: CNS: I am here.

EO_David_Telarus says:
::accesses power distributor::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  They seem to be doing fine, sir.  They've found what seems to be a tomb for dead bodies.  They are still searching the caves.

EO_David_Telarus says:
*OPS*:  Your going to get some activity as far as resources I am transferring maximum power to the deflector and the SRS and I am going to attempt to increase the power capacity

CNS_Serain says:
@ALL: Lets continue on.

OPS_Lys says:
*EO* understood, thank you

XO_Grift says:
*EO*: try rerouting some of the power to the deflector through secondary relays

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: OK.

TO_Grayson says:
::dead bodies?::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CMO: Could be a burial ground

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Take point.

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  My thoughts exactly.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Grateful to be moving in the opposite direction of that stench for now::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  How long have these bodies been dead?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::hears the word 'dead' and doesn't Like it one bit::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Finally feels she's able to let go of her nose::

SO_Webster says:
@::waits to follow the CNS::

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: Scans show they have been buried here approximately 3 to 15 years.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::walks on, and hopes she doesn't get Lost::

CNS_Serain says:
@::walks behind the FCO::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::wonders if they Died of Pretzel Poisoning.  Naaaaaah....::

SO_Webster says:
@::follows, scanning and looking::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*: Can you determine cause of death?

OPS_Lys says:
CMO: A burial ground?  So there was sentient life on the planet?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around cautiously::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Almost walks into the wall while staring at her tricorder but stops about an inch from it.........well.......that's one definition of keeping your nose to the grindstone::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*XO*: I am trying to do that sir unfortunately the system is not allowing me to bypass that, I am attempting to bypass

EO_David_Telarus says:
::fiddles with Secondary Relays::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Yes, as our scans have indicated.

EO_David_Telarus says:
::sparks come out while rerouting out of the Secondary Relays::

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: Not yet. We did not exhume any of the bodies. Possibly natural causes since they are properly buried.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::isn't so sure...::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*XO*: Sir small problem I just took part of the secondary relay, let us just say that we had a difference of opinion

SO_Webster says:
@::sneezes::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Bless you.  Too dusty?

OPS_Lys says:
CMO: I wonder where they all went?  There aren’t signs that they had the tech level for interplanetary travel.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::curious::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Takes a step back and realizes the others are quite a ways ahead of her and jogs to catch up::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Continue investigating and report back regularly.

SO_Webster says:
@::wrinkles her nose:: FCO: Thanks.. No, I think the odor is just getting to me.

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: Aye

EO_David_Telarus says:
*XO*: We still have partial access to the relays but it is going to take some time to repair the damage

EO_David_Telarus says:
*XO*: I need 10 to 15 minutes

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Sorry to hear that.  What we really need is a good batch of mint leaves.

CNS_Serain says:
@::continues into the cave::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  I don't know.  But it's likely they were removed from the planet.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
XO: We seem to be archeologists

SO_Webster says:
@::walks over to a wall and runs a scan:: Self: Hmmm...::chips away a small piece and puts it in her pouch:

FCO_Fielding says:
@::walking along, looking around, in the dark, dark cave we go....::

XO_Grift says:
*EO*: we need them back up in 5, we may need the power

EO_David_Telarus says:
::begins repairing the relays::

MO_Jorae says:
@::Catches up and picks up their pace as if she was never gone::

OPS_Lys says:
CMO: Interesting... and puzzling

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  Indeed.

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: I'm not sure what these walls are made of ...something very dense, but uknown.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I wonder if these caves are natural.

XO_Grift says:
CO: There really were no other signs of a civilization here

Host Don says:
ACTION: Another opening in the cave wall is found to the right.

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Opening to the right, sir.

CNS_Serain says:
@SO: Take a sample for investigation later.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
XO: could have been a crash landing

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: The walls are irregular, indicative of natural.

MO_Jorae says:
@::Leans against the wall.......I already served my turn::

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Already done, commander.

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Oh, well...

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Unless they used primitive tools to make them

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Shall we turn right, sir, or keep going straight?

CNS_Serain says:
@::nods to SO:: FCO: You and I will investigate this time.

OPS_Lys says:
CO/XO/CMO: Is it possible that the culture lived underground - maybe that is why we haven't picked up anything?

XO_Grift says:
CO: Perhaps

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

CNS_Serain says:
@MO/SO: Remain here.

MO_Jorae says:
@;:Turns her light down and leans against the wall her arms crossed::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: I have the secondary relays repaired and some type of boost to the Away Team, unfortunately we can not attain a transporter lock unless we have an engineer beam down and modify the pattern enhancers we need to that in order to get a deeper lock into the caves.

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Acknowledged

FCO_Fielding says:
@::switches her tricorder to 'find anything that looks even remotely interesting' mode::

CNS_Serain says:
@::walks down the right path::

SO_Webster says:
@MO: I guess we were just lucky to go down the smelly path.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
OPS:  It is possible.  Our sensors can't penetrate the caves...

FCO_Fielding says:
@::walks down the path, grateful that this one appears not to smell as badly as the last one...::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::begins to walk to TL::

MO_Jorae says:
@SO: Guess so.

XO_Grift says:
CMO: Are there any kind of markings or writing anywhere? Most civilizations document their existence and if it was a crash landing, perhaps the crew left a log of some sort.

EO_David_Telarus says:
::gets in TL:: TL: Bridge

CNS_Serain says:
@::enters a cavern and looks around.....sees spears and other archaic weapons::

SO_Webster says:
@::wanders a bit away, scanning the path ahead::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::follows the CNS into the cavern and takes a good Look::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  I'll check with the counselor.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::scans the weapons for any bits of organic matter or anything At All::

CNS_Serain says:
@::motions to FCO:: FCO: Scan these while I walk in farther.

EO_David_Telarus says:
*CMO*: I can possibly increase the signal I think I have the method figured out I do need to modify the pattern enhancers here on the Comanche and down at the beam site

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

OPS_Lys says:
XO: If it was a crash landing, shouldn't we detect some remnants of the vessel?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Have you noticed any markings on the cave walls?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::scans the weapons and the spears.  Especially the pointy ends::

CNS_Serain says:
@:: walks more and sees a cage of some sort in the dim lighting::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::arrives on Bridge::

SO_Webster says:
@::watches her tricorder recording everything::

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Over here.

CNS_Serain says:
@::walks closer::

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Sir?  ::moves closer to the CNS::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::walks over:: OPS: Anything?

OPS_Lys says:
EO: No change

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*EO*:  Proceed and report back when you are finished.

SO_Webster says:
@MO: What do you think? Primitive civilization that died out?

CNS_Serain says:
@::Sees a skeleton slumped inside of the cage::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::feeds River a munchie::

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: What is that... some kind of... prison, sir?

EO_David_Telarus says:
CMO: Aye sir

FCO_Fielding says:
@::scans the skeleton and the cage::

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: It seems so. ::continues to look around::

EO_David_Telarus says:
OPS: Keep my comm channel open on triaxial covariance signal that is on a rotating modulation

SO_Webster says:
@::notices the MO is not a talkative person::

OPS_Lys says:
EO: Yes

SO_Webster says:
@::shrugs and goes back to scanning::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::modifies pattern enhancers on the Comanche::

EO_David_Telarus says:
::heads back in to TL::

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Looks like this person was around about as long as the other dead people you found earlier.

EO_David_Telarus says:
TL: Transporter Room 1

CNS_Serain says:
@::sees nothing else of interest:: FCO: Let's return to the others.

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

EO_David_Telarus says:
::arrives in Transporter Room and steps on pad::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Find anything?

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Nothing unusual about the weapons... just standard primitive weaponry.

EO_David_Telarus says:
::beams down::

SO_Webster says:
@::sees some blood and takes a sample::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::follows the CNS back to the others, glad she has a guide::

OPS_Lys says:
:: notices that the bridge is very quiet ::

OPS_Lys says:
:: so quiet in fact that he can hear the dog munching on something ::

CNS_Serain says:
@::exits the small cavern:: MO/SO: It seems that was some sort of prison. Let's continue on.

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Remain at point.

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::scratches River behind the ear::

SO_Webster says:
@::nods at the CNS:: CNS: I found some blood splatters. ::points to the wall::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::nervously takes the front again, and hopes she doesn't get people Lost or anything::

CNS_Serain says:
@*CMO*: We have found another space in the cave. It seems to be a prison of a sort.

EO_David_Telarus says:
@Away Team: Is anyone on this channel?

TO_Grayson says:
::stands there at his console, trying to pass the time while waiting::

CNS_Serain says:
@::walks into cave more and notices that the smell is all but gone::

MO_Jorae says:
@::yay rah......continues on::

SO_Webster says:
@::follows the others::

TO_Grayson says:
::goes back to working, the sounds resulting from his button-pressing making that song again::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Get any samples of anything?
