Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_Vernius says:
::In his chair on the bridge:: CO: Sir, permission to execute the covert insertion?
OPS_Brandy says:
::Begins to pull up information in the database to match with the energy readings coming from the planet.::
CO_Durron says:
XO: Do we have the sensor data from the probe back yet?
FCO_Kami says:
::In the shuttlebay, preparing a Type-8 personnel shuttle for take-off.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::does weapons and equipment check of team::
XO_Vernius says:
OPS: Have we received data from the sensor probe?
OPS_Brandy says:
XO:  Checking for data now, Sir.
FCO_Kami says:
::Goes over a PADD containing layout data on the planet as he's checking the shuttle's systems.::
CTO_Wolf says:
*XO* : Sir I’d like to assemble the team members in the armoury for weapons and equipment checks, including yourself sir
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs lightly.::
OPS_Brandy says:
XO:  I'm reading a facility on the planet.  Not sure what type though.  It's being shielded from the sensor probe.  I can't get an exact location either.
CO_Durron says:
OPS: Copy the information to the XO's Team.  XO: Permission Granted.  I trust you have a way to contact the Europa if you need emergency evac?
OPS_Brandy says:
::Nods to the Captain, and directs the copied information to the XO's console.::  CO:  Yes, Sir, patching the information through to him as we speak.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::walks to the OPS station:: OPS: And?
XO_Vernius says:
*CTO*: Assemble them, and contact the FCO, I'll be down momentarily.
CO_Durron says:
XO: Good, We will be standing by.  And commander, Good luck
CTO_Wolf says:
*XO*: Aye sir
OPS_Brandy says:
::Begins to pull up information on the planet.::  XO:  And .. I can't determine what kind of facility it is, Sir.  I'm sorry.  The information just is not available.
CTO_Wolf says:
*FCO*: Please report to the armoury for weapons and equipment checks
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks up from what he is doing.:: *CTO* Very well. I'll be right there.
XO_Vernius says:
CO: Thank you, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
::Finishes what he is doing, then heads towards the TL.:: Computer: Deck 15.
XO_Vernius says:
OPS: And have you thought about what I asked?
CTO_Wolf says:
::begins laying weapons load outs on tables ::
CTO_Wolf says:
::watches TO`s checking weapons::
OPS_Brandy says:
XO:  I would be happy to be part of your Away Team, Sir, but I do believe I may be more useful on the ship, Sir.  I could keep a constant lock on the away team, and continue to analyze the data being sent by the probe.  Perhaps there's something I missed.
FCO_Kami says:
::The TL arrives. Heads towards the armory.::
CO_Durron says:
::sits down in the big chair:: OPS: What is the current distance to the planet?
FCO_Kami says:
::Enters the armory.:: CTO: Here I am.
XO_Vernius says:
OPS: Very well. ::exits the bridge and heads for the armory::
FCO_Kami says:
CTO: What's the weapons load-out for this mission?
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Excellent, I’ve prepared your gear on the table, I’ve given you a phaser and a pulse rifle
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: I want to keep you as light as possible
FCO_Kami says:
CTO: Okay. Thank you. ::Heads to the table to put on his gear.::
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Calculating Sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::walks into the armory:: CTO: Report.
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: The gear is all prepared and ready to go sir
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Distance to planet is about 15 to 20 minutes, Captain.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Excellent ::begins to get into his armor::
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: I’ve done your gear, it’s on the table beside the FCO, I’ve given you a Photon rifle, phaser and grenades
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Excellent. ::Straps the last of his armor on, and holsters his H&K Mk 23 automatic pistol::
CO_Durron says:
OPS: So you know it is going to be a dull here, We will be just sitting here and waiting for the XO's team to get back.
XO_Vernius says:
CTO: Are we ready?
CTO_Wolf says:
XO: Locked and loaded sir
XO_Vernius says:
FCO: Have you inspected the team, Kami?
FCO_Kami says:
::Finished putting on his armor, then looks back at the XO.:: XO: Was just about to, sir.
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  It's not that I do not want to go.  But I lack field experience, Sir, and I don't want to put the team in jeopardy.
XO_Vernius says:
FCO: Do continue. ::waits for Kami to inspect the tactical team's equipment::
XO_Vernius says:
All: Ten-HUT
XO_Vernius says:
::watches the ratings come to attention for inspection::
OPS_Brandy says:
::Hopes the Captain and Executive Officer are not disappointed, but feels she is more useful on the ship.::
FCO_Kami says:
::Heads over to the team, checking proper fit and functionality of gear.:: Team: Everyone ready?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::in the shuttle bay just putting the final touches on the shuttle for the AT::
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Ready to rock and roll sir
XO_Vernius says:
::smiles as the team curtly acknowledges the FCO::
XO_Vernius says:
FCO: Load 'em up into the shuttle.
FCO_Kami says:
::Smiles.:: CTO: Glad to hear it. XO: We're ready when you are, sir.
XO_Vernius says:
::follows at the back of the group::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*XO*: All shuttles ready sir.  Good to go.
CO_Durron says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Very well, prepare to open the shuttlebay, and let me know when the shuttle is ready to depart.
FCO_Kami says:
XO: Aye, sir. Team: Let's go. ::Leads the way towards the TL.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::Shoulders Photon rifle and heads towards TL::
XO_Vernius says:
::watches the team as they descend to the hangar deck::
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Shields on shuttle bay are holding.  ::Waits for the shuttle pilot to request permission to depart.::
XO_Vernius says:
*EO*: Thank you, Lieutenant... and we'll see you when we get back
FCO_Kami says:
Computer: Deck 4.
CTO_Wolf says:
::Pats each TO on the shoulder as they enter the shuttle and take there positions::
FCO_Kami says:
::The TL arrives.:: Team: Line up next to the shuttle, please.
OPS_Brandy says:
<change shields on shuttle bay are holding to .. magnetic containment field is offline.>
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*XO*: Your welcome sir.  ::walks out of the shuttle bay and into a turbolift.
XO_Vernius says:
ALL: Turn in your dogtags... and remove all forms of identification. If you want out, this is your last chance. There will be no relief. We succeed or we die in shallow graves. Is that understood? If you are willing to accept this, take one step forward.
CTO_Wolf says:
::steps forward with the other TO`s::
FCO_Kami says:
::Steps forward.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::orders it to the bridge::
CTO_Wolf says:
::removes dogtags and other id and hands it to XO::
FCO_Kami says:
::Removes his dogtags and ID and holds them out to the XO.::
XO_Vernius says:
::takes the dogtags and other ID and drops them in a container on the shuttledeck with his own:: FCO: Load 'em up.
FCO_Kami says:
XO: Aye, sir. Team: Alright, get on the shuttle and take your seats. Buckle up and get ready to go!
XO_Vernius says:
::enters the shuttle and takes a seat in the co-pilot's seat.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::enters last and seals the door::
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Last chance to abort, sir. Request permission to launch.
FCO_Kami says:
::Waits for the last man to enter the shuttle, then follows in and heads to the pilots seat, then straps himself in.::
XO_Vernius says:
::finishes strapping himself in::
OPS_Brandy says:
::Notes all AT members are aboard, and establishes containment field.::  CO: They are requesting permission go launch, Sir.  Opening shuttle bay doors.  ::Opens the shuttle bay doors.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::takes seat and looks at each helmeted head, looking into each mans eyes and nodding::
FCO_Kami says:
::Waits for the order to start the shuttle.::
OPS_Brandy says:
*AT*:  This is Operations Brandy.  You have clearance for launch. Shuttle bay doors are open.  Good luck!
XO_Vernius says:
::puts a hand on the FCO's arm:: *CO*: Awaiting your go-ahead, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Operations.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::steps off the TL and on to the bridge::
OPS_Brandy says:
::Closes the comm with the shuttle.::
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the viewscreen for a moment:: *XO* You are cleared for launch, and your mission is a go.  Good luck.
XO_Vernius says:
*CO*: Thank you, sir. Maintaining communications blackout from now on.
FCO_Kami says:
::Smiles.:: Everyone: Let's rock! ::Powers up the shuttle.::
XO_Vernius says:
::nods to Kami::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: You want me to open up my station or would you like me to do something else?
FCO_Kami says:
::The shuttle lifts off and zooms out of the ship, towards the planet.::
XO_Vernius says:
@CTO: Come up front for a minute, Ensign. ::pulls up a holographic map of the planet near the LP::
CTO_Wolf says:
::stands and moves between the XO and FCO::
CO_Durron says:
EO/OPS: What I would like us to do is prepare a course, at maximum warp that will allow us to cover the Away Team.  Do either of you have experience handling shipboard weapons?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: I do sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: Sir
OPS_Brandy says:
CTO:  I can take over tactical or flight if needed, Captain.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: I can do just about anything except science.
XO_Vernius says:
@CTO/FCO: It appears that the Listening post is on this bluff here. ::points:: I propose we land here... ::points to a spot a valley over and a 20km hike away from the LP:: I believe this will offer the best chance of avoiding detection. Opinions?
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: the valley provides good cover, we should be able to set up a good OP overlooking the listening post
CO_Durron says:
EO: Super, OPS: If the probe is still transmitting use it to mark the XO's LZ and surrounding area.  Also keep track of the AT I will plot us a course.
XO_Vernius says:
@::nods to the CTO and looks to the FCO::
FCO_Kami says:
@::Looks at what the XO is pointing at, then nods and adjusts the course of the shuttle.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: You want me to take tactical or flight ?
XO_Vernius says:
@::is a little annoyed:: FCO: Your opinion, Mr. Kami.
FCO_Kami says:
@::Looks at it more closely.:: XO: I concur.
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Pulls up the tracking on the XO's shuttle and attempts to use the transmission from the probe to mark the XO's LZ and surrounding area.::
CO_Durron says:
EO: I plan on some very strenuous flight maneuvers, I want you to handle Engineering first and foremost.  When I give the order we will be maneuvering at high warp within a solar system.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Hm..... right up my alley.
XO_Vernius says:
@CTO/FCO: Very well. I would anticipate us being on planet for 2-3 days... 5 at most.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::opens up her engineering console::
FCO_Kami says:
@::Nods.::
CO_Durron says:
OPS: Once you've marked there LZ I want you to have the probe go into sleep mode with a self destruct timer running down from two weeks.
OPS_Brandy says:
::Suppresses a grin at the EO's comment.::
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: I thought you’d say that, so I prepared ahead of time
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Engineering is set sir.
XO_Vernius says:
@FCO: Take us to warp, Mr. Kami and engage stealth mode.
FCO_Kami says:
@XO: Aye, sir. ::Does as he is asked.::
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Sets the timer on the probe as indicated to self-destruct according to the Captain's plan, but does not press the button yet to initiate the countdown.::
CTO_Wolf says:
@TO`s : Ok lads you all know your jobs, let’s go in and out without the buggers even knowing we were there
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
:: moves to the tactical station::
CO_Durron says:
::begins plotting the course, carefully leaving variables open to the engagement time.:: EO: How close could we get to the target planet without damaging our fighting ability?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: We could skip the atmosphere sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Like skipping stones over a lake.
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Timer on probe is set, Sir.  Waiting on the shuttle to land before initiating countdown.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Permission to take us to grey mode and channel all power to shield weapons and propulsion an for the sensors?
FCO_Kami says:
@Team: I hope you all have your seat belts on. It's about to get a bit rough.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: And for transporters as well sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
@Self: here goes my stomach
XO_Vernius says:
@::straps himself in more::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The small Starfleet shuttle arrives at the planet without incident, dropping from warp just prior to entering the atmosphere.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*:: Bring online all fusion reactors online and spread them equally between propulsion, shields, weapons sensors and transporters.  Maintain life support.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Permission denied.  We are on the backup team, Just make sure the batteries are fully charged.  I want us ready for a fight, however, I want us to just look like we are sitting here minding our own business.
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  Sensors indicate the shuttle has arrived at the planet, Captain.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  All batteries are to full capacity sir.
OPS_Brandy says:
::Checks primary systems.::  CO:  I am showing all systems are operational, Captain.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
OPS: You have all power allotted for allocation when needed.
XO_Vernius says:
@FCO: Get us on the ground, Mr. Kami
CO_Durron says:
OPS: Very good.  Prepare to put the probe on stand by and begin the countdown.
OPS_Brandy says:
EO:  Thank you, Sir.  We can pull power from secondary systems if needed.
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Standing bye to initiate probe countdown.
CTO_Wolf says:
@AT: Safeties off, I want a perimeter set up once we hit the ground,
FCO_Kami says:
@XO: Already on it, sir. ::Points the shuttle towards the landing zone and plots a quick, but smooth landing into the computer.::
FCO_Kami says:
@::The shuttle smoothly touches down at the LZ. Opens the shuttle for the TO's to exit.::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: All fusion reactors online and ready.
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: Sir might i suggest that we take steps to make sure the shuttle remains put of unfriendly hands while were on our little hike
OPS_Brandy says:
CO:  They have landed, Sir.  Shall I initiate the countdown?
FCO_Kami says:
@::Shuts down the shuttle's systems to make sure they can't be traced through them.::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up a course that drops the Europa down from warp nine well within weapons range of the planet, skims the atmosphere at max impulse, and jumps to warp from the outer edge of the planet's atmosphere::  EO: Take a look at this course, and give me your opinions.
CO_Durron says:
OPS: Initiate.
XO_Vernius says:
@CTO: What did you have in mind?
FCO_Kami says:
@Self: Maybe I should have put some camouflage on this baby before I left.
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: A cam net and a nasty little surprise should anyone unexpected come visiting
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::looks at the course the captain has just shown her::
OPS_Brandy says:
::Nods to the Captain, and initiates the countdown.::  CO:  Countdown started, Sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: That is the same idea that I was about to suggest.  It is a good one.
XO_Vernius says:
@CTO: Do it.
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: Aye sir
FCO_Kami says:
@::Unstraps himself, checks his phaser and pulse rifle one last time, takes off his safety and gets ready to follow the TO's.::
XO_Vernius says:
@FCO: Once the shuttle is shut down, assemble the team outside and do final weapon checks.
CTO_Wolf says:
::points to TO`s and motions to shuttle::
CTO_Wolf says:
::the TO`s quickly cam up the shuttle::
FCO_Kami says:
@XO: Aye, sir. ::Listens to the hum of the shuttle's systems silence, then heads out of the shuttle to watch the TO's finishing their work.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::Attaches anti-intrusion device to shuttle door and arms it, turns and joins his team::
CTO_Wolf says:
@XO: Done sir,
FCO_Kami says:
@Team: Alright men! Line up!
