<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::on the moon's surface about 1 meter from the runabout:: AT: Report!
CSO_Syrna says:
@XO: Right behind you. ::very even and calm tone::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CSO: What are your scans showing?
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Sighs, he's a few inches away from the XO:: XO: Structures 300 meters and counting.
OPS_Dvon says:
::contacting the nearest Starbase to see what kind of activity goes on in this area::
CEO_Galagar says:
::Starts walking towards the structures...in stride::
Host CO_KBeth says:
::on bridge listening to AT through the open comm unit.  Winces as static comes through loudly before subsiding again::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::picking up information:: XO: Faint life signs under the round dome. They are too faint to determine at this time.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@AT: Ok let's proceed. ::Looks at the CEO who is a bit ahead:: CEO: Do you have a plan to get us out of here in a hurry?
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: Ma'am, I have contacted Starbase 22, they report that a lot of ships travel in this area but there are no recent shipping schedules, nor has there been any recent traffic.
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: Someone has to take point...I might as well be the first to fall in the trap.
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Very well.  Thank you, Ens.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Notices the lack of gravity…and takes note not to jump too high::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::raises her right eyebrow:: CEO: Well that is sweet of ya but what about your plan to get us back to the shuttle if the need arises suddenly.
OPS_Dvon says:
COMM:CEO: I have increased power and redirected the communications array to your area.  We have a communication line open but it is shaky at the least.
CSO_Syrna says:
@::walks carefully in the low gravity::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::motions one sec guy to take point and one to take up the rear.  continues to walk towards the structures::
MO_Matteau says:
::Leans back in his seat, looking rather thoughtful::  CO:  Has this ionization always been present on the moon?  Rather unusual.
CEO_Galagar says:
*OPS*: Aye, well that's probably going to be the best bet we have.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: That's what we are trying to determine.  Run a spectral analysis on the area and see if that can tell you anything.
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: If I'm going to get us out of here, I'll need to see where this interference starts from....::Starts to really get a headache...and stops for a moment...trying to catch his breath::
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  I'll take a look...  ::Taps a few buttons on his panel and accesses the science station.  Starts the scan, glad there isn't much he has to do with a spectral analysis other than sit back and observe::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::pauses momentarily:: CEO: Something wrong?
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: No...I'm fine...just a bit of a headache....~~~~::Lowers his empathic shielding::~~~~ I'll be fine in a moment.
OPS_Dvon says:
::stars working on decrypting the message again, while monitoring the communication link to the AT::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::furrows her brow as she notices something is wrong with the CEO::
MO_Matteau says:
::Taps his chin::  CO:  I don't suppose Starfleet had any sensor logs previous to this that showed anything different?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::notices that his empathic shield went down and feels ashamed that she can't stop herself from scanning him somewhat::  CEO: Ok. ::continues to move on.::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::resumes normal tranquil, bland expression::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Feels a burst of pain, follow by a rage...and then its gone....keeps walking::
OPS_Dvon says:
::while the decryption program is running in the back ground, starts to try and figure out where the signal suppose to be going::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::follows behind the rest of the senior officers and just in front of the TAC guys::
MO_Matteau says:
::Reaches out with his other hand and brings up the results of the spectral analysis::  CO:  The scan is complete, at least...nothing new as far as the age goes, but according to this, it's far out of the ordinary for a cloud of this size to be as constant in power and frequency as this one seems to be...
CEO_Galagar says:
@:: Reaches the dome:: CSO: Do you have any scans of an entrance into this thing?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::tries to use some of the techniques that the SF docs had taught her.  arrives at the structure.:: CSO: Anything yet?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::thinks "Great we are starting to think alike too."::
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Apparently there is no mention of it in the database or from the first exploration team.  Because this system has no value it wasn't greatly explored.  We know that this is probably made but by whom and when?
CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: XO: I have not scanned for an entrance for one is rather apparent. ::points to door::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CSO: How about the life signs?
CSO_Syrna says:
@XO: The life signs are still very faint. Roughly humanoid.
CEO_Galagar says:
::Looks up at a symbol:: XO: Do you recognize that insignia....?
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  Fair enough to say that it's likely been here awhile.  The way the particles are so evenly dispersed tends to suggest it's been given some time to level off and maintain it's current shape.  If we could find some way to pinpoint an area of origin, perhaps we could disrupt it slightly.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::looks up::
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: It looks like an insignia of the Harelian Manufacturing.
Host CO_KBeth says:
::hears the static and crackle from the open comm channel and has to strain to make out the words:: OPS: See if that can be cleared up.
CSO_Syrna says:
@::looks up and sees symbol::
CSO_Syrna says:
@CEO: Ah... the Harelians....
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: If my memory serves me well...they are natives of this sector....not hostile...but they aren't part of the federation either.
CSO_Syrna says:
@::nods in agreement::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@AT: Ok then let's not be rude. ::walks up and knocks on the entrance::
OPS_Dvon says:
::starts clearing up the comm, by boasting the power to almost max and pinpointing the communications array to the AT location:: CO: Working on that now
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::grins as she spots a comm unit and taps on it::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::would roll her eyes... if she weren't Vulcan::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Points to the comm unit next to the door:: XO: we could use that...or we could just blast it.
Host Brett says:
Action: There is a pause, then a voice answers.
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: Who's there?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@Hoddek: This is Lt Cmdr Tarrez of the starship Delphyne.  May I ask whom I am speaking too?
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: I think I got most of the Static out, for now anyway
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: (Sounds relaxed) Really?  Starfleet...here?  What do you want?
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Thank you Ens.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Check in the database and see if there are any known life forms that can exist in that sort of environment.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@Hoddek: We picked up a message and we thought that perhaps someone was in need of help.  Then we found this ionization bubble on what has reportedly been an unsettled region.  Who did you say your name was?
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Takes out a PADD...and starts to try to hack into the door's mechanism through the comm unit::
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  Hmm.  All right.  ::Punches the parameters into the computer and lets it run the search::
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: A message?  That is strange.  No one sent a message from here.  We....(Dissolves in static)
CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow, thinks: Curious.....::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::hits the comm unit again:: Hoddek: Hello... you still there?
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: Do think we should leave...or should we take entry by force?
Host Hoddek says:
Action: Apparently the CEO's efforts have cut the comm link.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::turns to the CEO and sees what he is doing::  CEO: Neither... put that away for a moment.
CSO_Syrna says:
@::waits to see what the XO is going to do::
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: I've got access to the locked door...are you sure…I could just pry it open.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CEO: And fix what ever it was that you just did...
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Looks at the XO...puts everything back as it was...hiding his tracks::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::still scanning::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::sighs hard and hits the comm unit again::
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: Hello?  Hello?
CSO_Syrna says:
@XO: I am detecting about 20 Harelians below.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@Hoddek: Yes hello I am here.
OPS_Dvon says:
::engages a finally focused beam on to the runabout, trying to use it as a communication beacon.  Which he hopes will allow the transporters to be used::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::wonders how she is going to explain this one away should she is asked.::
MO_Matteau says:
CO:  Come up with nothing so far, Captain.  If there's anything or anyone down there, they're definitely housed in those structures.
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: Yes, well, as I said, no message was sent from here.  Apparently you are mistaken.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::motions for the CEO to close the comm with Hoddek. walks a short distance just in case..:: COMM:CO: Well we seem to have a problem here Captain... They say nothing is wrong...
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Covers the Comm::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@COMM:CO: ... and I don't see where we have grounds to force our way in there.
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: Understood, stand by...
CEO_Galagar says:
@CSO: What is your logical take on all of this?
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Have you been able to triangulate from where the signal came from?
MO_Matteau says:
::Stretches a bit and blanks his panel::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::starts tapping her foot just so she is not standing still... is amazed at how easy it is to do in this low gravity environment.::
CSO_Syrna says:
@XO: I think that perhaps since we have not seen this settlement before we should ask to see their mining license and inspect their facilities. It would be the logical thing to do. I am assuming that it is a mining facility, after all there is no other use for this moon. Currently there is no record of their presence in this system...
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: Ma'am it came from the area of ionic inference ::wonders if he will have to tell her again::
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Yes, but can you isolate from exactly where within the bubble it is coming from...
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::nods and knows that the CO heard the CSO recommendation and awaits her call::
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: No, I can't get the precise ::wonders what makes her think that if they could barley scan into the bubble before what makes her think he can now::
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Send a sample of the message down to the XO through the comm channel.
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: We're going to send you down a sample of the message.  Play it for the Harelians and see if they recognize it.
OPS_Dvon says:
::sends the message to the CEO's PADD::
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: And hold off on asking for their license.  Let's see if they will volunteer the information.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Hears the PADD beep...hands it to the XO::
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The OPS panel beeps, new information has been found.
OPS_Dvon says:
::hears the beep and brings up the data::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow upon hearing the CO::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::walks back over to the Dome and takes the PADD.::  CEO: Thank you. ::motions for him to uncover the comm with Hoddek::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Uncovers the comm::
CEO_Galagar says:
@:: Paces off a little ways around the structure::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::wonders what the CEO is up to and keeps an eye on him::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@Hoddek: Would you view a part of the message we retrieved and see if you recognize it?
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: Ma'am the signal was directed towards Romulan space, but there wasn't enough power to reach any planet in that area.  It was meant for a shorter distance, something between here and Romulan space
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Opens up his engineering kit, and takes out a radionic thermometer.::
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: Excuse me?
CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow, thinks.... odd....::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@Hoddek: They message I told you we received... would you view a part of it and tell us if you recognize it?
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: Oh.  Alright, go ahead.
Host CO_KBeth says:
OPS: Is there anything besides open space between here and the Romulan border?
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Takes a tricorder, rigs it to read off the radionic thermometer, and tosses it into the air...letting gravity way up into the atmosphere...reads the readings::
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: No, ma'am it is all open space from here to there. Unless a the message was directed towards a passing ship
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::has an idea:: Hoddek: May we come in... this would be a whole lot easier face-to-face?
Host Hoddek says:
@*XO*: ::Pause::  Well, alright.
Host CO_KBeth says:
MO: Utilize the long range sensors and see if you pick anything up.
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The airlock door cycles and opens revealing a small round room.  An Elevator.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::mutters about how all this time and all she had to do was ask::
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Follows the XO into the doorway::
MO_Matteau says:
::Checks for a vector on that comm signal::  CO:  I'll check the sensor logs as well.  ::Begins a thorough long range scan::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::follows the XO and CEO::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::motions one of the sec guys to stay outside and one to come with them.  Walks in and looks around.::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::waits for the elevator to go down::
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The door shuts and the airlock cycles.  The elevator descends...
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: Well its confirmed...that radiation is not natural…in fact I've narrowed it down to one thing....a transport inhibiter.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@COMM:CO: Do you still read us?
MO_Matteau says:
::Looks at the sensor logs whilst the LRS is working it's magic - tries to locate a point where the comm signal ended, indicating that it was received or intercepted::
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: Yes, Cmdr.  What's going on?
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CEO: Great. Now you tell me. ::sighs::
OPS_Dvon says:
::is glad the comm systems are still working::
CEO_Galagar says:
@COMM:OPS: I have just found out why we couldn't transport....sending you the data now...::Transfers the PADD information::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises both eyebrows:: CEO/XO: That does not bode well.
OPS_Dvon says:
::begins receiving the CEO's data:: COMM:CEO: Receiving data now
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@COMM:CO: We have just entered the dome and appear to be in turbo lift of some kind.
CEO_Galagar says:
@XO: I've been in worse situations...::Smiles::....
CSO_Syrna says:
@::thinks: How comforting....::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@CEO: Would transporter enhances be able to overcome its affect?
Host CO_KBeth says:
COMM:XO: Be careful Cmdr.  We've established that the signal was sent towards Romulan space.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Continues smiling:: XO: Nope, not a chance...need to shut it down somehow...though we are probably heading straight towards its source.
OPS_Dvon says:
CO: Ma'am this is different, the ionic interference is so much like a transport inhibitor that I think it is designed to be one
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The elevator stops, the airlock cycles and the door opens...
MO_Matteau says:
OPS:  I have some data that you may want to take a look at...I don't have an eye for this sort of thing, but since the comm from the moon was wide-band, I think we might be able to tell where it was picked up by looking for a point where the signal was intercepted...  ::Transfers a section of the scanner log's time index to the Operations panel::
OPS_Dvon says:
::puts the CEO's data aside, he will work more that in a moment.  Receives the MO's data:: MO: Okay I have it
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The AT finds itself in a dimly lit tunnel, ahead is a green skinned humanoid figure.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::walks out of the TL and looks around.  Makes sure that she shows off her Romulan ear by shaking back her hair::
MO_Matteau says:
::Scratches his head...unusually thoughtful today...almost frightening.  Finds this a nicer bridge to work on than some others he's had to fill in on::
Host Hoddek says:
Action: The figure's eyes widen slightly as he sees the XO but then he regains his normal passive look.
CEO_Galagar says:
@:: notices the XO's pointy ear....starting to make sense why she has been probing him...::
OPS_Dvon says:
::Starts comparing the time index and the amount of power used to send the message to pin point where the message was received::
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::notices Hoddek slight pause and whispers:: CSO: Is it safe for us to take these suits off?
Host Hoddek says:
@XO: Welcome to P80-AS.  My name is Hoddek.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Smiles at Hoddek::
CSO_Syrna says:
@::checks the scanner:: XO: The air is breathable.
XO_Tarrez-Merna says:
@::takes off her helmet and holds it under one arm.:: Hoddek: My name is Sykora Tarrez-Merna. Thank you.
CEO_Galagar says:
@::Scans the air for biotic infection...once its clear removes his helmet::
OPS_Dvon says:
MO/CO: I cant exactly pinpoint where the signal was picked up by I know it died out 4 light years from here.  So it could have been received anywhere in that area
Host Hoddek says:
