::waiting for the Del to get closer to the moon so she can detect more with the ship's sensors::
MO_Matteau says:
::In Sickbay, putting the final touches on the schedule for the upcoming round of semiannual physicals, in the absence of a department head, and finishing some other minor paperwork::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Hears the Captain's orders:: Delton: Get a team together, we'll be on the move soon.
OPS_Dvon says:
::standing at his post on the bridge, just ending the communication to Detweiller III:: CO: Ma'am I have informed Detweiller III that we will be late
CTO_Roy says:
::changes the proprieties of the scans and make it broader, then activates it::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::on bridge in her chair.::
CEO_Galagar says:
*CO*: Captain, I have the DD ready if you want to use it to disperse the ionic radiation. 
Host CO_KBeth says:
*CEO*: Stand by
CTO_Roy says:
::drums her fingers waiting for results and lets her mind wander off::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Hurries off to start working on the transporters, moves to a console, and starts calibrating them to dip through the radiation as well to keep a record of low areas, and the patters of movement::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::on the bridge waiting for the results of the triangulation:: *MO*: Ens. Matteau, report to the bridge.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO/CTO/*CEO*: Please stand by to accompany me on an AT if it becomes necessary.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Aye
CEO_Galagar says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.
MO_Matteau says:
::Stacks his PADDs neatly on the desk in the CMO's office, and picks up his jacket.  Stands and starts out::  *CO*  Aye ma'am.  I was just on my way.
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Anything to report?
CSO_Syrna says:
::nods, as she watches the sensors::
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Broader scans reveal no debris, no warp signals, nor weapons discharge in the area.
CSO_Syrna says:
::gets more sensor data on the moon::
Host FCO_Flynn says:
ACTION: The signal stops.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CO: ::grins:: Yep.  The broader scans reveal no debris, warp signs, and no weapons discharge.
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: ::wonder if she heard his last:: ma'am the signal just stopped
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Can you tell the reason?
CTO_Roy says:
::looks back at her console::
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: ::wants to say because what ever stopped sending the signal isn't anymore:: I am checking now
CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I have more on the moon. P80-AS is Class-D its gravity is .8 G there is no atmosphere, no hydrosphere and no climate. It is rich in nickel, iron radioation and vionium.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO: Interesting... any of that account for the ionization?
CSO_Syrna says:
XO: No.
OPS_Dvon says:
::begins checking to see what may have caused the signal to stop::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::sends the info on the moon to the CO chair console.::
CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Ionization like this would only occur naturally in an atmosphere.
CTO_Roy says:
::takes a PADD an checks a report about security training::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CO: Is it possible that somebody saw us coming and stopped transmitting? ::nods to the CSO::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Notices the signal is gone:: EO_Davidson: Check the sensors...we have lost the signal...
MO_Matteau says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and walks down around to the command area::  CO:  You wanted to see me, ma'am?
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: It's possible but where are they?  If we can't scan through the ionization I wonder if they can...
OPS_Dvon says:
XO: We will need to get better scans of the area before we can really say why it stopped. It could even be as simple as the power went off
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
FCO: ETA until we reach the moon?
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Thank you Ens.  At ease for a moment.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
XO: Three minutes, present speed.  Standard orbit?
MO_Matteau says:
::Nods silently and moves off to the side for a moment, taking in the goings on around the bridge::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
FCO: Yes please.
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: How is the triangulation going?  Have we pinpointed the location of the signal yet?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::checks her console.:: CO: No Ma'am
OPS_Dvon says:
XO: If I could crack the code, that would give us a little insight
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::turns and smiles:: OPS: So what's stopping you?
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Send a probe around the backside of that moon.  Have it dip into the ionization and then return.  Let's see what it can tell us.
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: If you need help with that I can.
OPS_Dvon says:
::checks the progress of the code, it is still running through the decryption program trying to find a linguistics match::
CEO_Galagar says:
<EO Davidson> CEO: Nothing wrong with the systems...it just cut out....
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CO: Understood. CTO: Prepare a probe and send it to the far side.  Program it to dip into the ionization and then return.
OPS_Dvon says:
::nods to the CTO:: XO: I can tell you that it is coming from a two km diameter area of ionization on the moon, so we should focus on that area
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Aye.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: As you know, our CMO has been reassigned.  I'm wondering if you would consider that position.
CEO_Galagar says:
EO Davidson: Very well...keep your eyes peeled who knows what is causing that ionization.
CTO_Roy says:
::changes the displays on her console and prepares the probe::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
OPS: Understood... ::adds:: keep up the good work.
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  It has crossed my mind... but I'm not in any particular hurry to apply for the vacancy, Captain.
OPS_Dvon says:
::wonders what she meant by good work, he hasn't done anything::
CTO_Roy says:
::changes the proprieties of the probe so it dips into the ionization and come back::
CSO_Syrna says:
XO/CTO: The Ionization is a small 2 KM diameter on the surface approximately 50 M off the surface. Sending a probe into an area we know nothing about may destroy it.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Well how about if I offer it to you ::grins:: We need a senior medical officer and I believe that you will fill in that position very well.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO: Understood, but I think it is worth the risk.
CTO_Roy says:
::looks at the CSO then the XO::
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Well, sir, probe ready to send if you want to and on your command.
CEO_Galagar says:
EO_Davidson: Ok, well you have ME...I've got to get onto these calibrations...
CEO_Galagar says:
<EO Davidson> CEO: Aye sir...
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CO: Probe ready.
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Launch it.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods to the CTO.::
CSO_Syrna says:
::wants to shrug but does not move her shoulders::
OPS_Dvon says:
::is trying to narrow the search by trying to match up the code to any know coding methods. (Fed, Romulan, Vulcan, etc)::
MO_Matteau says:
::Smiles somewhat, considering::  CO:  Since you offered, I'll give it some more thought.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Aye, launching the probe. ::does so::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters another hatch and climbs up to deck 10::
Host CO_KBeth says:
FCO: How far are we from the area of the disturbance.
CTO_Roy says:
::monitors the probe::
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Good, but don't take too long.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Exits into the transporter room, and nods to the Transporter chief:: TC: We've got a few modifications to make, please realign the transporters to this inflection pattern.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The probe heads down to the moon.
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  I'll have an answer to you within the week.  ::Nods once::
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: Ma'am are you still considering the possible of the signal being a distress call, because if it was a distress call it would have been a repeating message and this one was not.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: Probe on its way to the moon.
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Ensign, until I know exactly what that signal is and what is said I'm not ruling out any possibilities.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Thank you.
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Galagar says:
*XO*: Sir, transporter modifications finished...we're ready for a test run when your ready.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Please man your station from on the bridge.
OPS_Dvon says:
::focus all ships sensors on the 2KM area of the moon where the code is coming from, and increases power to the sensors to help the CTO track her probe::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Will this ionization effect our shields any?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CEO*: Understood proceed with the test.
CEO_Galagar says:
TC: Thanks for the help, I'm N'ka by the way...::Puts out a hand and shakes it:: ::Carries the test probe onto the transporter PADD:: TC: Energize...
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  All right.  While I'm here, then...physicals are coming up.  I'm going to have a schedule ready for submission before the day's out.  Should I deliver a copy to both yourself and the first officer?
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Mind if I watch the probe telemetry?
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The probe enters the ionization.  Telemetry ceases almost immediately.  Scans show a brief glimpse of debris from the probe rising above the ionization.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Yes please.  Start with the command and senior staff first.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: It shouldn't affect our shields if we ..... wait.... telemetry just ceased!
CEO_Galagar says:
TC: Bring it back...lets see if we could survive.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: Telemetry showed what could be small structures, and a large cliff.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Not unexpected... is it returning?
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  Of course, Captain.  ::Nods again and retreats slightly, dropping back into his chair::
CTO_Roy says:
XO: When it started rising above the ionization, it showed some debris.... small structures and a large cliff.
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: You can check the telemetry if you want to, yes.
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow::
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The TR chief can find nothing to lock onto through the interference.  The beam is blocked.
OPS_Dvon says:
::looks up at the CTO:: CTO: I believe the CSO was the one that asked you that,
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CTO: Structures?  As in buildings?
Host CO_KBeth says:
CTO: Did you say small structures?
CTO_Roy says:
OPS: Yes you are right, sorry  ::has to concentrate on her tasks and not the thoughts of the crew::
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: You can check the telemetry, yes
CEO_Galagar says:
::Looks at the Transporter chief, sees his look:: TC: No good huh...well we'll try again later.
CTO_Roy says:
CO/XO: I did say structures, yes.
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Thank you. ::looks at the telemetry::
CEO_Galagar says:
*XO*: Sir, transporter test failed sir, we lost the lock on the test....the ionic radiation blew it to smaller pieces than we could even pick up.
CSO_Syrna says:
::sees small structures and a large cliff::
OPS_Dvon says:
::makes some adjustments to the decryption program::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Didn't you say that this  system was uninhabited and that it was never deemed worthy of mining?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CEO*: Understood.
CTO_Roy says:
XO: I cannot say if they are buildings, houses, ... thought there are structures down there.
CSO_Syrna says:
CO: The system is very difficult to extract minerals from, due to the extreme hardness of the rock. Someone may have decided to make a fool's gambit, after all it is rich in mineral deposits.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CSO: Would the ionization effect the a runabout's shields?
CTO_Roy says:
CSO/CO: It might be possible that our scans can't see the race that is inhabiting that planet?
CEO_Galagar says:
::Takes out a PADD...and starts looking over the list of things to accomplish...:: *EO Davidson*: N'ka to Davidson, run a level 3 diagnostic on all systems, and prepare a report on all systems that do not come up to mark. 
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
OPS: How is that decryption coming?
CSO_Syrna says:
XO: A runabout should have no problem landing on the... ::slight emphasis:: Moon.
Host CO_KBeth says:
CTO: How extensive are the structures down there.  I know that you can't tell what they are but can you tell how many?
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: It would seem the ionization which is more than likely man made is interfering with all scans. So I would say yes.
MO_Matteau says:
::Quietly opens his panel, and accesses the copy of the schedule.  Starts rearranging::
CEO_Galagar says:
<EO Davidson> ::Sighs...wow...:: *CEO*: Aye, that's a lot of work sir...but I'll get it started sir.
CTO_Roy says:
CO: I see 3 structures right now.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Smiles:: *EO Davidson*: You'll do fine Ensign...now hop too it...::Enters a shaft, heads to the bridge::
OPS_Dvon says:
XO: I am running the signal though a decryption program, but it is trying to match it up with a coding method.  Once I found out if it is Vulcan, Romulan, Klingon, etc I can go from there
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: How harmful is that ionization to life forms?
CTO_Roy says:
::nods at the CSO and checks telemetry::
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  Hm?  Oh, yes.  ::Looks up for a moment::  To humans, it's not particularly harmful.  The fact that there's no atmosphere, though.. ::Smiles a little::  If there's anything alive on the surface of that moon, it's specifically adapted to live there, or there's a contained environment of some sort, like a biodome.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::hears the MO:: CO: Want me to take an AT to the moon's surface?
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters the bridge, walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Any luck finding any weak spots or movement in the ionic storm?
CSO_Syrna says:
::is surprised to see the CEO suddenly appear:: CEO: It is not a storm. It is a consistent field 2 KM by 50 M tall.
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Take an AT down.
CEO_Galagar says:
CSO: Nothing is constant...there has to be a weak point within the telemetry of the storm.
CTO_Roy says:
::hears the word AT::
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Land outside of the area first and see if it is in fact a form of biodome.
CSO_Syrna says:
::looks almost impatient with the CEO, but hears AT:: CEO: I must be going. I  believe you and I are going to the surface together.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CEO:  Could you have your department make sure that Evac suits are stored in the Grant runabout
MO_Matteau says:
::Glances at the XO, then back down to his panel::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Points to the console:: CSO: Take that area for instance, its weaker for just a moment...that's a window that could be important...::Looks up at the XO:: XO: Aye...
CTO_Roy says:
*Ens Knight*: Come to the bridge. Send some SEC to the TR for an AT.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
AT: Report to Shuttle Bay 1.  CO: Permission to take the FCO too.
CTO_Roy says:
*Ens Knight*: Not TR but Shuttle Bay 1. Roy out.
CSO_Syrna says:
::grabs her tricorder and goes to the turbo lift::
Host CO_KBeth says:
XO: Granted.  You may have to fly into that ionization.
CEO_Galagar says:
*Alpha*: Prepare 12 suits for the moon's environment and meet us in SHB1
CTO_Roy says:
::grabs her AT kit and follows CSO in the TL::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::nods and flashes a smile.:: FCO: Your with me. ::heads to the TL and waits for everyone to get on.::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters a shaft, and crawls down to SHB1::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::wonders where the CEO went.:: TL: Shuttle bay 1.
CSO_Syrna says:
::waits for the CTO, once she is in:: TL: Shuttle Bay 1.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::smiles as the CTO and her reply at the same time.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters Shuttle Bay 1...meets the other engineers...helps them put out the suits for the staff::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::exits the TL and heads into the Shuttle Bay. Motions to the Grant.:: AT: Load up.
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: I wonder who can live down there and what they look like.
CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Uncertain. Anyone could be down there if there is a contained area with atmospheric conditions.
CEO_Galagar says:
XO: Do you want a suit...? ::Putting on one of his own::
MO_Matteau says:
::Folds his panel away again, for now, and leans forward in his chair, resting his elbows on his legs and folding his hands::  CO:  Captain, will we still have contact with the Away Team once they land?
CEO_Galagar says:
::Hands the CSO a suit:: ::Enters the Grant::
CTO_Roy says:
CSO: Indeed. ::enters shuttle bay and sees the 2 SEC::
CSO_Syrna says:
CEO: thank you.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Finishes donning the suit and begins preflight on the runabout::
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Yes. Until they enter the ionization and then we'll have to see.
CTO_Roy says:
::takes a suit::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::herds them all into the runabout.::
CSO_Syrna says:
::dons her suit::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Finds a seat in the Grant....and grabs one of the engineering kits in the runabout...::
CSO_Syrna says:
::finds a seat and puts her tricorder in a pocket::
CTO_Roy says:
::finishes getting in the suit and walks to the SEC to see if they have everything. Satisfied, she enters the runabout::
Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Wishes they were taking the Tigris, or Platte, but decides it is best to start small.::
OPS_Dvon says:
::begins adjusting the communications array to link it directly to  the Grant, hoping that will help keep them in contact::
MO_Matteau says:
Self:  Hmm.  ::Leans back again, looking at the view screen::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::is last to enter:: FCO: Let get this thing going.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
XO: Roger that, pretty lady ma'am.  ::Grins::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
::closed door and takes a seat next to the FCO.::
Host CO_KBeth says:
*XO*: Keep a comm link open at all times.  We'll try to boost the signal to keep it open in the ionization field but that may not be an option.
CSO_Syrna says:
::puts the Type II Phaser in a different pocket::
Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Fires up the runabout and checks the systems::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
*CO*: Understood.  Please open SB doors.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Takes out his standard issue phaser...checks the power...marks it down to full stun::
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Open the doors.
OPS_Dvon says:
::confirms the Grant is powered up, and sealed.  He opens the bay doors:: *Grant* You are clear to depart
Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Floats the big shuttle over to the center of the bay and lines up with the doors.::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
AT: I hope everyone went to the bathroom before you got on.
CTO_Roy says:
::smiles at the XO's comment::
CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Puts the phaser back in the holster:: XO: Sir, are you trying to let us know of your showering habits?
Host FCO_Flynn says:
::Watches the doors open and nudges the ship forward::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
CEO: You wish. ::grins::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Raises his eye brows:: XO: I'm only empathic...and I'd never look that deeply even if I could.
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: See what you can do to keep that comm link open.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
ALL: Express elevator to hell...goin' down!  :: Flies the runabout out of the bay and drops it rapidly toward the moon's surface, grinning.::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CEO: That is a good thing because I would deck ya if you did.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
XO: It's a tradition.  ::Winks::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::holds on for a bumpy ride::
OPS_Dvon says:
::as the Grant exits the ship, he activates the communication link and increases power to the array:: CO: The Grant has departed, rather quickly I might add
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
CTO_Roy says:
@::eyes the FCO not liking his humor, decides to concentrate on her scans::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Smiles:: XO: Aye...well...I'll keep that in mind.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@XO: Where do you want us to hit, er, land?
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: See if you can establish a transporter lock on them.  At least until they enter that field.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Eyes the FCO:: FCO: If you feel the need to scratch it, you can repaint it as well...
MO_Matteau says:
::Nods once and opens his panel again, quickly tapping into transporter control::  CO:  Looks fine for now.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@CEO: Can I pick the color?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@FCO: A nice smooth soft spot as close to the structures as we can get.
CEO_Galagar says:
@FCO: As long as the XO okays it I'm sure I'll be ok...
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@FCO: I would hate to have to walk very far.
OPS_Dvon says:
::tracks the Grant as it moves away from the ship:
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@FCO: But make sure that we stay outside the disturbance first
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The Grant slows as it nears the ionization and flies across the barren landscape toward the bluish electric dome.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@XO: ETA is forty seconds.
MO_Matteau says:
::Aside::  CO:  Speaking of the helmsman...I've decided that the new additions to the senior staff will go first, for the physicals.  I'll go from there based on availability among the senior staff, then to the junior officers, and the crewmen...I'll have a full write-up in a little while.
CSO_Syrna says:
@::hears the FCO and waits::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CSO/CTO: You all picking up anything?
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Looks out an aft window...:: All: Pretty isn't it?
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Thank you, ensign.
CTO_Roy says:
@XO: Scanning the area.
OPS_Dvon says:
::looks up at the MO with a slightly dirty look. He has never liked being examined::
CSO_Syrna says:
@CEO: Pretty... as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
MO_Matteau says:
::Oblivious, still watching the viewer::
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Status on the Grant?
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The runabout penetrates the ionization revealing three small structures
CSO_Syrna says:
@::sees the buildings::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Takes out a tricorder out of the engineering kit....opens it…and marks the to the Grant:: CSO: Ah...so it is.
CTO_Roy says:
@XO: I still see the 3 small structures. Trying to get more info on those.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@FCO: Nice that we are ok, but I did say stop outside the disturbance.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@XO: No ma'am, you said come down here outside the disturbance first.  Sorry, guess I misunderstood you.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@FCO: That is alright.  All appears to be well.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
Action: The Grant disappears from ship's sensors.
CSO_Syrna says:
@XO: I am registering two smaller square buildings and a round dome. The buildings are civilian issue and very generic. Hard to pinpoint a specific race.
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: Shall we disembark?
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@::Begins landing near the structures.::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@COMM:CO: Can you read us.
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Status of the Grant?
MO_Matteau says:
::Glances back to his monitor at a small warning beep::  CO:  Transporter lock's gone, Captain.  Don't see them on the sensors, either.
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: The Grant has just penetrated the ionization field, I am picking them up but barley
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: Yes, barely.  I thought you were to stop outside the barrier first.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@::Sighs::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Walks over to the communication relay, boosting the power:: XO: See if that helps.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: They entered the barrier.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
@XO: Would you like me to go back out and start over?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
COMM:CO: Sorry ma'am.  It was a miscommunication, but all appears well.
MO_Matteau says:
::Nods slowly::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::ignores the FCO:: AT: Ok everyone grab the standard issue gear and lets go.
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: All right....but next time knock first.  It's a bit more polite.
Host FCO_Flynn says:
