 Summary: The Delphyne orbits a hostile planet while below on its surface an away team begins repairs to the stricken freighter Lady Jane, in hopes of restoring its spaceworthiness and allowing its escape from the deadly planet.

Brett:
 <<<<Resume Mission "Lady Jane - Part 3">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::turns the speakers up on the away team's transmissions::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Has ordered Repair team alpha to work fore to aft and the beta team to go aft to fore.::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::entering the airlock of the Lady Jane::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Listens to the open channels, hoping to hear good news. ::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::sitting on the bridge, listening to the away team on the open channel:;

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::keeps an eye on the sensors::

Brett:
 @INFO: Initial surveys show the damage to the ship to me minor, but serious enough in these circumstances.  Several hours will be needed to repair the worst of the hull breaches.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Decides he should head into the ship to assess any interior damage to the Lady Jane and moves to the airlock::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: We are sure glad to see you.  I thought for sure we'd be marooned here forever.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Glad we could be of help. Luckily we were in the area.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Notes the airlock cycling again and waits::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Lady Jane*: This is Chief Engineer Quinn, requesting permission to board.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 ::Waits at the lock for it to open::

Brett:
 @INFO: The comm badges are still capable of transmitting understandable messages, but there is a constant hiss of static and sometimes the words are garbled.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: I think your friend wants in.  ::Smiles and indicates the FCO should do the honors::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::hits the button to let the CEO in::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: What is interfering with the comm badges?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Enters the airlock::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: The heavy metals that saturate the atmosphere.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: So, what can I do to help in here while the outside repairs are being done?

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: We suffered some damage to the warp drive, I don't know if it is repairable...I certainly can't fix it.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::points over his shoulder as the CEO enters:: Dubois: Well this is your man for that.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Looks like we have a warp drive to repair.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Listens to the FCO's comment as he steps out of the airlock inside the Lady Jane. ::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Nods and smiles at the CEO as he enters the ship::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubios/FCO: Warp drive huh... is accessible?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: We'll try not to blow anything up. ::laughs as his antennas wiggle::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Yes, its accessible.  Follow me.  ::Heads aft through the ship.::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Follows Dubois:: Dubois: How's life support holding up?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::follows Dubois and the CEO::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::continues to scan, tries to increase the gain on the transmission to make it more audible, but darn it she's not an operations manager::

Brett:
 @INFO: The Lady Jane appears a bit run down on the interior, and is small and cramped like most of her kind.  There is a forward hull which houses the bridge and living quarters, then a narrow central "spine" which leads aft to the engineering spaces.  Two cargo modules fit on each side of this spine.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: It's gone I'm afraid.  That is why we were so glad you showed up when you did.  Most of the ship is open to the outside air now, and the spaces that aren't wouldn't last long.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Wow, I definitely have my work cut out. By the way, how did you end up like this?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Have no fear, I'm here to help too.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: We were attacked by a Gorn ship.  We tried to run but, hey, we're a freighter you know?  We ducked into the atmosphere here to try to lose him, but his last volley clipped us good and down we went.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 All: Did I hear that correctly? Their life support is gone? ::a subtle edge of concern is in her normally calm Vulcan voice::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Gorn, huh... we were just at Denali, they did a number to them as well.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: I heard that, too.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> All: Ah, here we are.  ::Arrives at a door standing open::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Denali huh?  Yeah, we heard they were headed that way.  ::Steps inside::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO/Dubois: Guess I showed up a little late for the action.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: I wouldn't worry, as long as they keep their suits on they should be okay

Brett:
 @INFO: The room is the main engineering section for the ship but is vastly smaller and less sophisticated than that of the Delphyne.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Looks into the engineering section and has a thought::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO/CEO*: Be on your guard as you wander around the Lady Jane. I suggest you take some tricorder readings.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: It was not the away team I was concerned about... ::then hears the time in which they were attacked:: But that was... what six or more months ago?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::begins patting at his suit, then frowns::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: If you could, your logs would be quite helpful in our investigation.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Investigation?  ::Looks somewhat puzzled::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::whispers to the CEO:: CEO: I forgot my tricorder.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubios: Yes, the federation needs all the information we can get on these Gorn incursions.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: There's one in that repair kit we all had when we came here.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::holds up both his empty hands::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Shakes his head in disbelief... then reaches into his kit and hands him his tricorder:

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Don't you go losing this.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::takes the tricorder and begins doing scans::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Oh, all right.  Well, once we get out of here that will be easy enough to get.  Now, we took a hit inhere and lost main drive.  There is some damage to the couplings over here...::Walks over to one area and points to show the CEO what he is talking about::

Brett:
 @INFO: The tricorder can get no accurate readings. The interference is apparently atmospheric.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Oh boy, I'll get right on this... how's the impulse drive?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Nothing coming up accurately on this thing. I think the atmosphere is interfering.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: Not surprising, the air in here is as bad as outside...hell, it IS outside in here now.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Yeah I didn't think you'd get much.

Brett:
 @INFO: The warp drive damage looks bad enough that it will require several days and a number of manufactured parts to replace.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Once the hull is sealed up we'll get it breathable in here.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Impulse is fine, far as I can tell.  We should be able to fly out of here once the hull is patched.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Excellent considering it's gonna take at least a couple of days to get the warp drive working.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Yeah, breathing is good.  ::Smiles::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::squeezes by the others as he tries to get more readings::

Brett:
 @Action: Sparks and light flare at the upper edge of the engineering space as a piece of plating is welded over a meter long gash in the compartment.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::covers his eyes::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubios: Actually, I'll need to see the life support systems, I'll try getting that up first.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO/CEO*: Report.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Aloud: That's my lads up there... doing a great job I'd say.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: All right.  It's back the way we came.  ::Stands up and heads that way::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Follows Dubois::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Nothing much sir. The air is lethal and we're about to begin making repairs in the Engineering room.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Make that life support sir.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO*: How are repairs to the ship's hull proceeding?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Quinn here, Looks like the warp drive is shot, that'll take a couple of days and a lot of parts. I'm headed for life support now, they'll need that straight away as the hull gets repaired... the impulse engines are in working order, so she should liftoff this rock.

Brett:
 @Action: The trio make their way forward.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Hull repair continues.

Brett:
 @Action: As they reach the forward hull area, a small shape peers around a corner further up the hall then ducks back out of sight.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Aloud: What was that!?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::notices the shape and moves towards it::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Arrives at a maintenance hatchway::  CEO Here it is.  I looked at it, couldn't see anything wrong with it though.  ::Begins to open the hatch::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS/CSO: Thoughts?

Brett:
 @<Dubois> All: What was what?  ::looks around::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: I swear I saw something.

Brett:
 @Action: The FCO moves to the corridor intersection, but sees only several closed doors down the passage the shape would have taken.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: What is down here?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Sir, the problem seems basically... basic. Restore life support should be the top priority.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::listening to the away team, talk about something they have seen. Does a passive mental scan to see if he senses anything::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Moves over to the FCO::  FCO: Um, well, the crew cabins and galley.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I agree, patch the holes and restore life support

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: And seal the hull breaches, obviously.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Anyone staying down here now?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO/CNS: Something feels... not right but I can't put my finger on it?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois/FCO: I need to get to work on this system.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::checks the tricorder for life signs::

Brett:
 @<Dubois>FCO: Just my crew, two men, in the galley. Why?

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I am sensing from the survivors mostly fear and despair, but there is something else.  I can barely pick it up, it could be anger but I am not sure

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: I would really like it you stuck around maybe and watch my back... I'd hate to get snuck up on by some space critter

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: I saw someone and when I noticed them, they took off this way.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Anger? Work on isolating that, if you can.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: Maybe one of my men.  I can go and check.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Turns to analyze the life support system::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::nods:: CO: Yes, I just got a hint of it

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: I'd appreciate it. CEO: No problem.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises an eyebrow::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Well, the emotions of the survivors are very strong it is hard to isolate it out.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: I understand, just do the best you can. Even a tiny clue could help.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Moves off down the hall and enters an open doorway near the end. ::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Self: Ah, there you are you little bugger. :: Grabs his Isolinear Inducer and repositions a lose chip in the system::

Brett:
 @Action: The dormant panel springs to life with a wracking wheeze of air through ductwork.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::nods and tries to focus on the feeling of anger to see if he can get a fix on it::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::stands guard with his hand instinctively on his phaser::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Checks the LSS displays to see if there's anything else malfunctioning::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::whips his head around, looking down the hall::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::takes another look at LRS to see if there are any ships headed in their direction::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Did you hear that?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Well that was an easy fix, nice surprise.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Hear what?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Sounded like a kid laughing and a dog barking.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Umm, no I didn't hear anything like that...

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Wonders what's going on down there as he heard nothing. ::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::sits back in his chair, and closes his eyes.  Using his telepathic abilities, eliminating the emotions of the crew, and the members of the Lady Jane.  He is searching for the something else::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Maybe they have some children on board.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Let's find Dubois... we can have him start sealing off areas for atmosphere replenishing.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: We can ask Dubios when we see him.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: After you.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Life Support back on-line sir.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::opens his eyes and sighs:: CO: Sorry sir, I lost it.  It is gone, and their are just to many minds with raging emotions for me to get a fix

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Repair Crew*: Status report guys, how's that hull coming?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Starts heading down the hall that Dubois headed down::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO* Very good, ensign. Get the hull sealed and estimate best time for take-off.

Brett:
 @<Crew> *CEO*: Getting close sir.. another fifteen minutes, probably.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Understood. Thank you for trying.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::follows with his hand still on his phaser::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Crew*: Great work guys keep it up.

Brett:
 @Action: As the pair of Starfleet officers pass a closed doorway, the sound of a small girl's laugh and the soft bark of a small dog come from within.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Aye sir. Will have estimate once the hull is sealed.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::spins around to look at the closed door::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I could get a better idea if I were over there ::smiles::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Emerges from the galley and approaches the pair::  ALL: No, none of my men have been out here... what?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: I heard that... what the hell? ::Spinning around to catch a glimpse of whatever it was::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Do you have a kid and dog on board?

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Frowns::  FCO: Well, we have a number of children on board yes...and I think one has a dog.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::points at the doorway:: Dubois: Are they housed inside here?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Nice try, counselor. We're needed here at the moment.  ::smiles::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Self: Interesting.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: In there?  No, that's my cabin.  Why?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Then you might want to run the kid and dog out of there.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Can't blame a guy for trying. ::sits back and listens to the away team:: Sounds like they are chasing ghost over there.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: We just heard a child and a dog.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Oh and the LSS is now functioning.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: It does, doesn't it?  :: thinks for a moment ::   Don't get many dogs out this way, either?

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: What, from in there?  Not possible.  Have a look for yourself.  ::Points at the door and crosses his arms::

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I had a ferret once, but no dog

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::opens the door the moment he gets permission::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Looks inside the opening door::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Ghosts... in the Terran form... have not been fully proven to exist.

CNS_Lt_Cmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: Neither have walking dead, but we have seen that haven't we

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Looks from the CSO to the CNS as a grin forms on his face. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: There was a perfectly scientific explanation for those.

Brett:
 @INFO: Inside the small but richly appointed cabin, a small Andorian girl sits on the floor, giggling.  At her feet is a small dog, almost a puppy.  Both wear breathing masks, (The dog awkwardly).  The girl smiles up at the newcomers.

Brett:
 <Girl> All: Hello!
