FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Aye, sir.
SO_Webster says:
@::stops firing::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@SO: Would be appreciated.
Host Captain_Grift says:

@XO: A conceled room of some sort, the FCO is checking it out now.
CTO_Chalen says:
TO:  Talk to the FCO when she gets back.  She's the master of Bridge "distrations".  ::grins::
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: There's a room here....
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Proceed with caution.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO/CNS: there's a shield generator, too...
OPS_Lys says:
Ambassador: Could you possibly run an analysis on the composite of the cave walls - perhaps we can find a way to increase communications.
Host Captain_Grift says:
OPS: Anything on subspace comm channels?
SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Did you hear that? She found a shield generator.
Amb_John_Sea says:
::comparing orbit of planet with motions of stellar bodies such as comets::
TO_Grayson says:
::laughs::
TO_Grayson says:
::quietly, of course::
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Aye sir. I will report again soon.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *OPS*: Ensign if you could take over some of my engineering duties while I am stuck here if you could try to increase the signal and try working on getting more power to transporters to get me out of here.
FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS/SO: Some other equipment here, too... wait a sec, sirs... checking them out now...
Amb_John_Sea says:
OPS: Analyzing now
FCO_Fielding says:
@::scans the equipment::
CNS_Serain says:
@::nods to the SO waiting for more from the FCO::
Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: What would a shield generator be doing down there?
EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: Do you require any assitance?
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Okay.......shield generator........sealed in a cave........what's there to protect down here?::
OPS_Lys says:
*EO* Thank you for the suggestions, we have already begun working on those issues.  Your input would be appreciated.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Good question.  I thought this was a primitive race.
Amb_John_Sea says:
OPS: The wall is composed of ignious rock, quite thick
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  It seems someone else may be living here.
FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS/SO: Looks like the generator will have to be disabled to get the rest of you in here.
SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Any indications on what it's shielding?
Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Perhaps it was built by the people who deposited those bodies
OPS_Lys says:
Ambassador: Doesn't seem like it should impede our signals so badly.
CNS_Serain says:
@EO: No, not as of yet.
SO_Webster says:
@::nods at April's report::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Sits down on a rock off to the side waiting, not very patiently at that::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *OPS*: Increase the pattern buffers capacity if possible that is all I have for now.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::  CO:  Possibly.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: It generated that 'door' you detected.
Amb_John_Sea says:
OPS: There is evidence that an alien technology is at work here
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: It's pretty large in here, actually.
FCO_Fielding says:
@::examines the generator to see how to turn it off.
FCO_Fielding says:
::
FCO_Fielding says:
@::isn't sure if it would be as easy as pushing the 'off' button::
Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain; I suggest that there may be automated defences in the area
OPS_Lys says:
*EO* I would suggest that the problem lies in something blocking signals from the ship - the same reason communications are degrading... but we are unsure yet what is causing the interference
Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Good thinking, there is something someone down there wants to protect
OPS_Lys says:
Ambassador: I concur... a dampening field of some sorts perhaps... or at least a defense shield
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Hollars from her spot:: FCO: There should be a knob with two buttons beneath it......Turn the knob to the right and push the left button.........that should shut if off.
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: There seems to be some very interesting equipment here. The rest of us will be going in shortly.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *OPS*: Ensign maybe there could be a way around this try a constant rotation in the frequencies
Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain : An artifact perhaps, it all seems quite engineered and designed
Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Advise the away team to be alert for automated defenses
OPS_Lys says:
Ambassador: If that's the case, we should be able to penetrate it if we can find the right frequency - if it isn't rolling.
CNS_Serain says:
@SO: Blast a larger hole so that we all may enter.
CNS_Serain says:
@CMO: Stand back.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Understood.  Check it out, but be alert.  You might not be alone down there.  There may also be automated defenses.
SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Got it ::turns to the CMO:: CMO: I'm going to fire again.
FCO_Fielding says:
@aCMO: Thanks, Dr. J!  ::looks down and closes her eyes to orient herself, and turns the knob and pushes the left button::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Stands and moves back a couple of yards::
SO_Webster says:
@::pulls out phaser and makes a bigger hole::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@SO: Thank you for the warning.
OPS_Lys says:
:: runs an algorythym to rotate secondary communication and transporter frequencies, attempting to penetrate the field ::
OPS_Lys says:
*EO* We have come to the same conclusion, and are preceeding.
Host Don says:
ACTION: The SO's phaser doesn't have enough power to open the hole any larger.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *OPS*: If foul play is at work here with blocking our signal then it would be harder for them to block a signal that is not solid long enough to counteract, try boosting power to transporters, expand the pattern buffers. Tie in the SRS and LRS systems to the deflector to get clearer readings and rotate the frequencies on all of the
SO_Webster says:
@CNS: It's not working...I don't think the phaser has enough power to make a larger hole.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Sees what's happening and tosses the SO her phaser:: SO: Caryn, Catch.

EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM:Comanche:*OPS*: systems communications, transporters, sensors.
SO_Webster says:
@CMO: Thanks ::reaches out for phaser and tries both of them::
Host Don says:
ACTION: THe wall infront of the AT dissolves, there is now a door

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: There may be a computer AI down there
FCO_Fielding says:
@::whews, as she seems to have gotten her left and right straight::
SO_Webster says:
@::tosses phaser back to the doc:: CMO: Thanks.

CNS_Serain says:
@::watches as a door appears::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Heads forward seeing her instructions worked and can't believe they still make those things that antique.........Catches the phaser:: SO: Thank you.
OPS_Lys says:
Self: Hmm, I seem to have lost the EO's comm signal - perhaps I can re-establish
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Acknowleged.
CNS_Serain says:
@ALL: Proceed cautiously.
CNS_Serain says:
@::enters room::

SO_Webster says:

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Well, there's that generator... ::points::
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: All sorts of equipment here, too... not sure what they do, though.
CNS_Serain says:
@::looks around at the equipment::
TO_Grayson says:
::goes back to scanning::
OPS_Lys says:
*EO* I will report any progress - I suggest you attempt to scan for more information from your location.
FCO_Fielding says:
@::looks around at the equipment and scans, managing to suppress her urge to Poke stuff::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Can you detect if any of it is active?
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *CO*: Sir requesting permission to join the away team, I can take whatever that device is down and get us out of here
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Nothing appears to be active but I will keep the warning in mind sir.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *CO*: I am no good just sitting around...
SO_Webster says:
@::scans the room, trying to determine what type of equipment is there::
FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Do you suppose this could have been some kind of defense hide-out?
Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: I am speculating of course based on the little information I have
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Kneels down, one knee on the ground and flips a couple of switches to see if it'll start up::
FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Or maybe some kind of protected shelter?
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::
CNS_Serain says:
@::continues to walk around and look at the rest of the equipment::
Host Captain_Grift says:
COM:EO: Head into the cavern and meet up with the away team. They have located some ancient technology, perhaps you can help them analyize it

FCO_Fielding says:
@::watches the CNS look around and tags along with the SO::
CNS_Serain says:
@::shakes her head:: FCO: No, I dont' think so.
EO_David_Telarus says:

aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Oh heavens........NOT the EO......rolls her eyes::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: See anything interesting?  All I see are pretzel-shaped bleeps.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Turns a knob trying to increase the power to the machine::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@Away Team: I am coming down to check out the technology.
SO_Webster says:
@::laughs:: FCO: April, nothing in here is pretzel-shaped...you must be hungry.
OPS_Lys says:
:: feels mildly disoriented - it passes ::
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Oh.  Drat.  ::taps her tricorder a few times::
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Sir, from what I can tell of the equipment in this room. ::clears throat:: It seems that this was a genetic engineering/research facillity at one time.
FCO_Fielding says:
@::Boggles::

CNS_Serain says:
@::looks around at others::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  About how long ago?
SO_Webster says:
@::nods at the CNS' report:: CNS: That makes sense with this equipment.
FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Do you mean the others who were dead... do you think they were victims of some failed experiments?!
Host Captain_Grift says:
*CNS*: Can you detect any other lifeforms in the caverns?
EO_David_Telarus says:
@::sees away team::
Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: The area where the away team is located is well shielded, probably designed that way, from scans
EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: What is it that you found here?
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Doesn't acknowledge the EO and fiddles with the equipment some more::
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Any indication what kind of genetic research?
TO_Grayson says:
::thinks, "That's it, I'm bringing a book with me next duty shift."::
OPS_Lys says:
Ambassador: Probably shielded very well from active scans - but what about passive tecniques?
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Shielded from a generator or naturally shielded with the material in the rock?
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: It's impossible to say at this time. We will have to see if we can activate the equipment and then we may be able to tell something about when and what was really taking place here.
SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Not yet, still trying to figure it out.  I'm trying to get this thing powered up.  Want to help?  ::points to equipment in front of her::
OPS_Lys says:
< techniques >
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I'm not sure... is it *safe* to turn it on?  Shouldn't we wear biohazard suits or something?  Do we know what kind of germs are in there
FCO_Fielding says:
<+?>
EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: This seams to be some sort of generator...
Host Captain_Grift says:
*EO*: Can you identify who may have left the equipment by the technology?

CNS_Serain says:
@CO: No sir, no other lifeform signs are apparent at this time.
SO_Webster says:
@FCO: April, I wouldn' t think turning on eqiupment would be harmful.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: But... sure.  ::joins the SO in turning on the equipment:
Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: I speculate that the area was chosen to be a place which could be kept from prying eyes
SO_Webster says:
@::looks around for power switch, sees one, and flips it::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *CO*: Scanning... and sending to the ship I can't quite identify the race but it looks familiar.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Well... I mean, what if one of these were some kind of statis field generator or something, and another transports the Victim into it, and...
FCO_Fielding says:
@::trails off, her mind going into overdrive::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  It would seem so.  I wonder how long it's been abandoned...  If it really HAS been abandoned.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Fiddles with some slide controls on something that looks like  a centrifuge::
CNS_Serain says:
@::nods to EO:: EO: Yes I think you are quite right.
SO_Webster says:
@::shrugs:: FCO: I don't know, but I don't think the controller would be in danger, so we should be safe.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@aCMO: Jorae step away you don't know what that does
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I hope you're right, Caryn...
Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: I suggest the away team take a carbon sample from the equipment and carbon date it
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Good idea.
SO_Webster says:
@::grins:: FCO: Me, too.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@EO: Didn't anyone ever teach you to mind your own business.  I am a doctor.
CNS_Serain says:
@CO: Sir, if I may..... I have seen nothing exactly like this in any of my travels or studies.
SO_Webster says:
@::watches as boards light up:: FCO: Hey, it works.
FCO_Fielding says:
@::shudders::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  I would like you to get a carbon sample from the equipment.  Find out how old it is.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Cool... shall we... ummmmm... turn on another one...?
OPS_Lys says:
:: notices a small improvement in communications - keeps trying ::
Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Lt. telarus is sending up some scans of the equipment... see what you can assertain from them

FCO_Fielding says:
@::feels just a teeny bit ill::
SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Yes, try that one over there.
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Affirmative sir.
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Aye, sir.  ::goes over and flips switches on another machine::
CNS_Serain says:
@CMO: Please take samples for carbon dating.
Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: Aye, receiving lines open
SO_Webster says:
@CNS: We have at least one piece up and running...I'm trying to determine it's exact purpose now.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@CNS: Will do........::Begins dating the equipment::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: Anything on the scans I sent?
Host Don says:
ACTION: Machines begin to come alive as switches are pushed
CNS_Serain says:
@::walks over to SO and watches::
aCMO_Jorae says:
CNS: It looks to be about 100 years old.
FCO_Fielding says:
@::suppresses a yelp as the machine comes alive::
SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Great.  Let's see if what we can find out now.
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: We have some of the equipment running now.
Amb_John_Sea says:
::reviewing information from surface::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  What is it doing?
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Okay, Dr. J.... ::Looks at the machines, then Scans them::
CNS_Serain says:
@ XO: The CMO has reported to me that this equipment could be as much as 100 years old.
EO_David_Telarus says:
@Away Team: Everyone step away...
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  One hundred years old?  Have these people been away that long?
SO_Webster says:
@::turns to the EO:: EO: Why?
Host Captain_Grift says:
:: monitors the away teams lifesigns ::
aCMO_Jorae says:
@EO: Who's in charge of this AT.  You or the CNS,  Take an enema.
aCMO_Jorae says:
<CNS?>
FCO_Fielding says:
@::suppresses a laugh at Dr. J.'s comment::
SO_Webster says:
@::looks to the CNS::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@aCMO: I just suggest that, cause you don't know what that thing is capable of yet
CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Nothing sir, it is only running at this time. I am sure we will have to activate it for it to....do something.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@EO: I've lived 5 life times......how many have you lived..........What I thought.
aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Shakes her head and keeps working::
EO_David_Telarus says:
@aCMO: Although if you would like to wait until the Counselor give you the order then be my guest but don't complain if you get hurt
OPS_Lys says:
:: stares at the colors on his console while the comupter conuties the refinement algorythym ::
SO_Webster says:
@CNS: I've accessed something here...I'm sending it through the translator now.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Don't go experimenting until you've made more scans.  We don't want anyone getting hurt.
Amb_John_Sea says:
::reviewing data::
FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: ::with a note of hysteria in her voice:: You mean it's not Activated?!
TO_Grayson says:
::starts tapping buttons again, making that musical noise that can be heard throughout the bridge again::
CNS_Serain says:
@SO: Very good.

aCMO_Jorae says:
@EO: You'll have less chance of getting hurt if you'd learn to shut your yapping trap.

SO_Webster says:
@::looks up from her translation:: FCO: What?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::can swear he hears the TO playing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on his console::

EO_David_Telarus says:
@::goes over to device and hooks up tricorder::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Dr. Serain said something about activating them... ::points at the machines::

OPS_Lys says:
:: his concentration broken by some racket from the back of the bridge - he cuts the sound on the tactical panel and sends the TO a message "Shhhh" ::

CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Understood sir. I cannot see any harm in what we are doing currently.

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: I attempting to deactivate the device and see if it also linked to blocking our signals to the Comanche.

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: I think you might have been right on with the genetic engineering idea.  This looks to have been a DNA splicer...and it was accessed not too long ago.

aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Moves to a new piece of equipment and starts tinkering with that::

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Wow.

TO_Grayson says:
Ops: Sorry...

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: this is certainly turning into an odd archeological find...

CNS_Serain says:
@::eyes brighten with interest:: SO: Not to long ago?

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: What is your take on this device

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  Let me know as soon as you have any trouble.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: I am curious as to the lack of defenses

OPS_Lys says:
:: turns to the TO and smiles - goes pack to work and puts the tactical console sound on low ::

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Yes ma'am...I'm trying to determine the last time it was used.

TO_Grayson says:
::stands there and twiddles his thumbs::

FCO_Fielding says:
@CNS: Looks like they processed humanoid genetic material, too... I wonder if they were test tube babies or what.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Perhaps they felt it was hidden well enough as to not warrant any

CNS_Serain says:
@XO: Certainly sir, as always. ::puts a smile in her voice::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::starts whistling the tune, then realizes it may be distracting, and stops::

SO_Webster says:
@::pushes a couple buttons, trying to get last access date::

CNS_Serain says:
@SO: Good, carry on.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: If I was the designers I wouldn't make that assumption, I'd lure them down and then spring the trap

FCO_Fielding says:
@::scans the machines, wondering if she could pick up any traces of past users::

CNS_Serain says:
@FCO: Very possible.

SO_Webster says:
@::nods at the CNS::

aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Finds one piece of equipment rather fascinating and leans over it looking at it's displays::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: That's reassuring

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: I wonder what they were trying to Do...

SO_Webster says:
@::looks startled:: Self: Oh, my...

CNS_Serain says:
@::walks over to see what the CMO is looking at so intently::

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: I used to get paid to be paranoid, now I'm a politician

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: The last time stamp was only one month ago!

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Amb:  Would it be possible to scan the equipment, and then recreate it on the Holodeck, so we have a safer environment to see what it does?

FCO_Fielding says:
@::boggles::

aCMO_Jorae says:
@::Gets it to display some information and scrolls through back logs::

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: What's your take on the device?

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Any evidence they might still be Around Here someplace?

CNS_Serain says:
@::looks back startled:: SO: Are you sure?

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: That's almost as disturbing as the thought of a trap ::grins::

aCMO_Jorae says:
@CNS: Yea.......this one's been accessed recently too.

SO_Webster says:
@::double checks:: CNS: Yes ma'am...

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: This thing is blocking our signals to the comanche somehow or a linked device to it is shall I shut it down?

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: Are there any other rooms around here?  Or below here, for that matter?

Amb_John_Sea says:
::chuckles:: Captain: I dont have to worry about a Court Martial ::grin::

CNS_Serain says:
@EO: This seems to have been a genetic research lab and not so long ago it appears.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::just Waiting for some Weirdo to come out and say 'boo' at her::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: I'm not sure...I'm trying to determine what they were doing here.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::nods at the SO, feeling somewhat Useless::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Maybe you can get a layout of the caves from one of the databases.

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: Shall I shut it down it could be the source of our blocked transmissions...

Amb_John_Sea says:
XO: We could scan the form, but since it is alien we would likely not be able to duplicate its function or information banks

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: You have such Excellent Ideas, Dr. W.!

CNS_Serain says:
@XO: We have comfirned that this is indeed the types of equipment we thought it to be, only it seems that it was in use only less than a month ago.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods disappointedly::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::goes to one of the computer terminal-looking-thingies and boops a bit::

SO_Webster says:
@CNS: Ma'am, it looks like whoever was running these machines were researching the life forms on the planet.

CNS_Serain says:
@EO: Not yet.

FCO_Fielding says:
@::hears the SO and finds that to be Interesting...::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CNS*:  So, is it really abandoned, or do you think someone will come back?

FCO_Fielding says:
@SO: What, do you think they were trying cross-breeding or something kinky like that, Dr. W.?

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: Although we shall not shut it down yet I have a direct link to the device and can link it to the Comanche, I think we might be able to tell it to allow our signals through

Amb_John_Sea says:
::feeds River a munchie::

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: I'm not sure...maybe trying to improve the indigenous life...or just tamper with it ::frowns::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::wonders who the custodians of the lab were::

FCO_Fielding says:
@::nods, Wondering...::

TO_Grayson says:
::sighs and looks for something to do at his station::

EO_David_Telarus says:
@COM: Comanche: *CO* Would you like me to link you to the device?

SO_Webster says:
@FCO: Either way, probably not something we would approve of.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*EO*: Neagtive, we are not saure what its capiable of yet

EO_David_Telarus says:
@::waits for a response while continues scanning device::

CNS_Serain says:
@::nods again to SO:: XO: I believe it was reciently abandoned sir. But, from what we have derived we think it was used by a race not from here but from some where else to study the ones who last inhabited this place.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<sure>

CNS_Serain says:
@EO: Hold off, I have not given you that order.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  This keeps getting more and more interesting...

EO_David_Telarus says:
@CNS: I am sorry I will wait
