CMO_OMallory says:  ::grabs med kit, tricorder and phaser and heads out of sickbay for TL::  Shuttlebay.

CEO_Taylor says:  TR Chief: alright, begin testing the transporter, everything should go as planned, in case that doesn't happen, the TR's systems are isolated from all the others so the ship won't be affected...

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: I hope you know your way around a science station, Mr. Cook? ::Motions to the console:: In the away team's absence, we'll both be covering for them.

CNS_Cook says:  CO: I guess we will find out. ::takes the science station as the CSO heads out::

Host Bren says:  <FCO>::on the shuttle::

CSO_MacLeod says:  ::moves to TL::

CMO_OMallory says:  ::motions to shuttle crew::  ALL: Shall we get aboard?

CTO_Wakefield says:  ::walks around shuttle for preflight check::

CNS_Cook says:  CO:  The planet is an M class planet with most made up of rocks and small lifeforms.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Understood. Monitor the area surrounding us for any sign of warp activity.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: I was hoping you had some flight control experience... ::Motions to the vacated navigation-conn station::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::follows CO::

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: You were thinking right, but it gets back,,,

Host Bren says:  <FCO>:: does pre-check for flight.. and nods an OK to everyone as they get in:: *Bridge* Ready when you are.

CMO_OMallory says:  FCO: Take us out.

CTO_Wakefield says:  Away Team:  Guys, please double-check to make sure your phasers are on level two stun.

CSO_MacLeod says:  *SO* You have SCI.  Keep LRS working.

SO_Quinn says:  ::in turbolift about to start her duty shift::

Host Bren says:  <FCO>CMO: Aye. ::opens the shuttle bay doors and moves the shuttle out::

SO_Quinn says:  *CSO*  Aye sir.  I will work diligently on it, sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:  ::check his phaser:: CTO: Just fine.

CSO_MacLeod says:  *SO* Understood.  MacLeod out.

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Sit back and enjoy the ride. ::smiles a bit::

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Oh... I almost forgot, what am I supposed to do, sir?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: Keep us in synchronous orbit. I certainly don't want us slipping from orbit and crashing into the planet!  Should it become necessary--which it shouldn't--perhaps some basic maneuvering.

SO_Quinn says:  ::arrives on bridge, is rather nervous, considering she is usually on beta shift::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Shuttle leaves the Gryphon smooth ..... then bounces !

CSO_MacLeod says:  @*CO* Sir, SO Quinn will be in charge of SCI, as long I'm on the planet.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Keys a sequence of commands into the electronic keyboard, opening a constant channel to the Cutlass. Listens idly to the chatter being exchanged between them::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: I hope so!

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Sorry about that... just wanted to relax...

Host Bren says:  ACTION: View screen displays the lounge where crew are eating

SO_Quinn says:  CNS:  Counselor, I can take SCI 2 or you can go back to your seat if you are more comfortable there. ::doesn't want to say what she is thinking about that incident on the Cat ship::

CNS_Cook says:  SO: I will take my seat.

SO_Quinn says:  ::smiles very sweetly at the counselor::

SO_Quinn says:  ::walks over to SCI 1::  CO:  I am here, sir.  Your orders?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  SO: Yes, please relieve Mr. Cook.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::smiles with CNS comment::  *CNS* Don't worry, I'll have to decline for you help this time, but thanks anyway. ::smiles::

CMO_OMallory says:  @FCO: Everything ok?

Host Bren says:  @<FCO>CMO: Sir.. we are entering the planet's atmosphere.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CIV: Ready to explore a new word, Doctor?

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Shuttle continues to bounce

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Hold on...

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::hangs on because of the bouncing::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Nervously watches the CEO, thinking "I thought he said he had flight control experience"... shakes his head::

CNS_Cook says:  ::watches the crew and the view screen and wonders when the cotton candy and pea soup will start to shoot every where.::

SO_Quinn says:  ::begins to run a level 5 diagnostic on the long-range sensor, making sure they are in tip-top shape::

Host Bren says:  @FCO: CMO: We are about to land... hold onnnnnnnnn. ::said as they thump to the ground hard::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::he begins to wonder why he didn't apply as FCO -- better hours and much less work!:: self: Oh right... it's boring!

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::analyses the better place to land:: FCO: Please land on these coordinates.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Watches the LCARS interface, his eyes flicking from the viewscreen to his monitor:: Self: What is this...?

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Orbit is constant... damn I'm good at this! ::grins to the captain::

SO_Quinn says:  ::looks up at CEO at last remark and holds back a snicker::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @FCO/CMO: The soil is certainly appropriated to land, we'll not have any problem.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Lets a grin tug at the corners of his mouth before he squelches it and nods::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CMO* Shuttle Cutlass, report...

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Ship begins to move out of orbit...

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: Atmosphere readings?

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::stands up upon landing and faces rear hatch, ready to draw phaser if necessary::

CMO_OMallory says:  @*CO* Cutlass here.  We have landed on the surface.

SO_Quinn says:  ::begins to work on the view screen's problem of displaying interior shots instead of exterior shots::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Checking... ::checking the atmosphere and conditions::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CMO* Understood, Commander. ::Sternly:: Keep me appraised of the situation.

CTO_Wakefield says:  CSO:  Any life forms in the vicinity?

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: I want tricorders and phasers for all.

Host Bren says:  @<FCO> ::stays in the shuttle just in case....::

CMO_OMallory says:  @*CO* Aye sir.  Cutlass out.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen... Earth like, sir.

CNS_Cook says:  ::decides to take tactical just for the fun of it::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::opens a window on the planet and begins playing "solitaire"::

CMO_OMallory says:  @FCO: Check the Cutlass and make sure it is ready to depart.  See if any damage on landing

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CTO: We have no readings about lifeforms.... yet.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Listens to the channel as it makes a 'fizz-pop' sound and then closes. Leans into his chair, envying the days when he led away teams himself...::

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: Alright.  Let's move out.

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::opens hatch and exits shuttle, eyes scanning all around for threats::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::analyzes the surface::

CNS_Cook says:  ::looks over the buttons:: Self: Okay this one fires the phasers, this one shoot the torpedoes, this one..he goes down the list.

SO_Quinn says:  CEO: Sir, do you have any idea why our viewscreen is acting up?

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: What do you mean? ::he was a little to deep in his game::

SO_Quinn says:  CEO: Look. ::points to the viewscreen showing a picture of ME::  It was showing the lounge a few minutes ago.

CMO_OMallory says:  @::begins scanning::

CIV_Ian says:  @::follows the CTO out the exit::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: Temperature:  105 degrees F.

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: A bit warm. ::smiles at CSO::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: Very hot and dry, as we can see.

Host Bren says:  ACTION: View screen displays.....  Holodeck.. a simulation of a car race is going on

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  Yeah but this is dry heat.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Irritably presses a button on his keyboard, deactivating the power feed to the viewscreen::

SO_Quinn says:  CEO:  Now it is ... ummm, nevermind.

Host Bren says:  ACTION: A small lizard scurries across the foot of the CSO

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: I'm detecting lifeforms...

CMO_OMallory says:  @ALL: Scanning for any life.  Dirt mites and...

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: Oh... ::taps a few controls:: there you go... I think.

CTO_Wakefield thinks:  @::really?::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  All: We'll be back after these messages...

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::looks below::  Self: Well... look at that!

SO_Quinn says:  ::checks in on her diagnostics... they are going as planned::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::sees lizard::  CSO: Fascinating.

Host Bren says:  ACTION: the Captains chair beeps at him he has a message

CNS_Cook says:  ::runs some diagnostics on the tactical systems, since he has nothing else to do::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: A small lizard...  let me see....

SO_Quinn says:  ::checks in on the viewscreen modulation, not sure if she should put the picture up since the Captain just snapped it off::

CIV_Ian says:  @CMO:I detect a number of small lifeforms, none appear particularly threatening.  Atmospheric composition within standard M-class range, no noteworthy impurities or particulates.

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: Scan for any water source.  There must bit some for life to exist.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances at his chair... eyes the blinking light warily::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::continues scanning the horizon::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Sir are you going to get that?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Indeed.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Routes the message through to his ready room:: CEO: Cover for me, will you?

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: You got it...

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: I'll take a soil sample to analyze.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Trots across the bridge and enters his ready room, moving to sit behind his desk::

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Let's have a look around. ::begins to move to the north::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  Computer: Display message. ::Wonders who would want to contact him way out there...::

CIV_Ian says:  @::not a whole lot here, apparently, unless it is well hidden::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::sits in... you guessed it... THE BIG CHAIR::

SO_Quinn says:  CEO:  Wow, that chair really suits you, sir.  ::thinks she likes men in uniform... begins to blush furiously::

CNS_Cook says:  ::looks at the CEO and wonders who is driving the ship::

CTO_Wakefield says: @::notices lizard, steps back and draws phaser, ready to fire if necessary::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CTO:  Watch out, behind you!

CMO_OMallory says:  @::turns at commotion::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Message displays.. it is a love note from one of the MO's to her sweet heart

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Begins to scan the message... his brow furrowing and color beginning to surge into his cheeks. Deactivates the console::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::puts the soil sample inside the spectrum analyzer::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CSO:  Relax Lieutenant.

Host Bren says:  <Lizard> HISSSSSSSSS !

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: You should see me in red, I'm to die for. ::laughs::

SO_Quinn says:  ::laughs at the CEO's joke::

CNS_Cook says:  ::looks at the CEO and the SO and wonders if he needs to leave them alone::

SO_Quinn says:  ::turns viewscreen back on to see if the reconfiguring helped::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::keeps his eye on the lizard::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CIV: What do you have so far?

CMO_OMallory says:  @CTO: What is it?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Exits his ready room again, eyeing the CEO a moment:: CEO: Don't get too comfortable.

CIV_Ian says:  @::makes his tricorder emit a rather unpleasant noise in the ultrasonic range, sufficient to scare the lizard off::

CTO_Wakefield says:  CMO: See for yourself Doc.  Looks like a big lizard to me.

Host Bren says:  <Lizard> :;moves in for a closer look.. baring its teeth::

CEO_Taylor says:  CNS: You can take the helm if you want, should be simple enough, even for you. ::smiles::

CNS_Cook says:  CEO: I will remember that next time you give me a subspace call because you can not handle one of your own EO. ::takes the helm::

CIV_Ian says:  @:;<tricorder>:: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances from the CEO to the SO, shaking his head. Mumbles something about "wrong numbers" and stares at the CEO, clearing his throat::

Host Bren says:  @<Lizard> ::snaps at CTO::

SO_Quinn says:  ::looks over at the CEO to see if he is looking her way::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  I have a feeling it doesn't like me very much.

CIV_Ian says:  @::notices a subsurface anomaly on his scan::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: It's a simple lizard...

CMO_OMallory says:  @::whips out phaser and shoots warning shot near lizard::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: I hate to interrupt...

CEO_Taylor says:  ::gets up:: CO: As CO, you can interrupt whenever you want. ::bows down::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: Sarcasm is very unbecoming of you, Lieutenant. Take your station.

CEO_Taylor says:  ::gets back to the helm::

CIV_Ian says:  @ALL: I think we should move.....  we seem to be standing almost on top of this lizard's nest

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::keeps his phaser trained on the lizard::

Host Bren says:  @<Lizard>:: gets a hold of CTO's pant leg and holds on tight::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO/CIV: The soil is a combination of dirt and volcanic ash.

CNS_Cook says:  ::pushed the CEO off of him,:: CEO: What are you doing, you just told me to take the helm?

CEO_Taylor says:  CNS: But the Captain told me to take it back...

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Places his head in his hands for a moment, as if saying" Why me?"::

CIV_Ian says:  @ALL: I am detecting some egg-like objects buried about 20 cm below the CTO

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Ground shakes slightly... small planet tremor

CTO_Wakefield says:  @looks down at lizard.  Lizard:  OK.  Have it your way.  ::fires phaser at lizard::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::grabs med kit, brings out hypo and sedates the lizard::

CNS_Cook says:  CEO: ~~~~That is okay, I will just go over here~~~~ ::smiles back::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances at the CEO and then at the CNS, as if sensing their unspoken message::

CNS_Cook says:  CEO: You could have waited until I got up first. :: gets up and takes his personal seat where none will sit on him::

SO_Quinn says:  CEO, CNS: There are plenty of consoles to go around, fellas.

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: Yes but they are all too complicated for our dear Donnie. ::smiles:: CNS: Oh, and by the way, welcome back on the Gryphon! ::laughs hoping for a laugh from him::

SO_Quinn says:  ::smiles at CEO's remark::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::feels tremor::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Mom of Lizard hears her baby cry... and goes looking for where it came from

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Ok, let get moving out of this area. CSO: Scan tremors.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::uses his tricorder to scan about the tremors::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Already on it, sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: Have we received an update from the away team? ::Nervously shifts in his seat::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::feels it shaking again::

SO_Quinn says:  ::monitors the planet from her console::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO/CNS: Gentlemen, perhaps you'd be kind enough to reserve this conversation to a period of time when... I am not present?

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Understood, sir.

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Sorry, just passing the time...

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: Find another way, Lieutenant.

SO_Quinn says:  CO:  I am detecting seismic activity and weapons fire on the planet, Sir.

SO_Quinn says:  CO: I recommend checking in with the AT.

CMO_OMallory says:  @::sees boulders:: All: Get moving!! NOW!

CEO_Taylor says:  CNS~~~ I wonder, do you feel hostility from the Captain or just plain sarcasm?~~~

SO_Quinn says:  CO:  They are... reptilian I believe?

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::protects himself and call the rest of the AT, while scanning the smoke's source::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CIV:  You can give me you phaser here or give it to me in the brig!

CIV_Ian says:  @CTO: Hmmmm....  well, I choose the brig, cause you aren't getting my phaser.

CEO_Taylor says:  CNS~~~ Oh, come on! I deserve to know as much as you do...~~~

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CMO* Report. What's your location?

CTO_Wakefield says:  ::Holds up as he sees the shuttle get crushed.::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Worriedly paces the bridge. As he approaches the CEO, carefully chooses his words:: CEO: Prepare a shuttle to recover them.

SO_Quinn says:  CO:  I am no longer picking up the life sign of our FCO.  Is that who you detected Counselor?

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Sir, FCO is dead.

CNS_Cook says:  SO: ::looks pale:: Yes.

SO_Quinn says:  ::her face drops at the CNS's reply::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::is serious and diplomatic for a change:: CO: Aye sir, permission to bring SO Quinn with me, she could be useful in locating the away team...

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Do you want me to report to the Captain?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Swears inwardly:: CEO: I'll be directing the second away team to recover the first away team. You remain on the bridge.

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Oh... I got it...

CMO_OMallory says:  @::sees no life signs::  *CO* FCO dead.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices the lizards moving to higher ground::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Lava is starting to ooze in their direction

CIV_Ian says:  @ALL:I recommend we follow the example of the lizards and move to higher ground before we have to wade through lava...

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::notices lava::

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Look for some cover! Now!

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Shuttle USS Pignata is ready for launch, sir...

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices the lava and starts to move::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: ::looks at the Captain:: Sir, I must protest.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Protest? I'm sure there are plenty of things we would all like to protest, but right now someone just died. Lets make sure no one else does.

CNS_Cook says:  CO: You have an entire ship to run, our XO is in Sickbay, and you are going on an Away mission?

SO_Quinn says:  ::looks at the Captain thinking of the regulations that Captains should stay on their ships::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::scans area for high ground::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::starts moving to higher ground::

CIV_Ian says:  @::follows the lizards towards higher ground, they probably know where to go::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Lizards and other habitants of the planet start to bellow as they get trapped in the moving lava

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::starts to climb to the top of a mount:: ALL: Here, come with me!

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Groans inwardly and motions to the CEO:: CEO: Very well... The Pignata's waiting for you...

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::starts moving towards high ground::

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Move everyone!

CIV_Ian says:  @:;hears bellowing and thinks, then again, maybe not::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Thank you sir.  :: relaxes at bit::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Resumes his pacing::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::scans for highest point::

CEO_Taylor says:  CO: Aye.. permission to bring SO Quinn?.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CEO: Granted.

Host Bren says:  ACTION:  A flock of what can only be described as flying lizards swoop down on the dying creatures nabbing them in their beaks

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: Highest point? What do you got?

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  Are the transporters working yet?

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: You're with me...

CEO_Taylor says:  ::gets in TL::

SO_Quinn says:  ::stands up, tugs on her tunic and follows the CEO::  CEO: Aye, sir.

CNS_Cook says:  ::feels tense at the CO paces the bridge::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Watches the counselor and SO watching him and stops, sitting down in the captain's chair, smiling bleakly. Shrugs::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::gets to Shuttlebay::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::sees flying lizards::  CTO Keep an eye on them.  ::points::  I do not want to be there next dinner.

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Do you want me to take one of the open stations?

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Take the operations console, if you please. ::Motions to the vacated chair::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Yes sir. ::takes OPS::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Follow me!  ::trying to fix a higher place to go::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::feel ground slipping, grabs onto some rocks::  Self: What the..

SO_Quinn says:  ::arrives in Shuttlebay with CEO::

CEO_Taylor says:  ::gets in the USS Pignata::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices CMO slipping:: CMO: Sir!!!

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::reaches out and grabs CMO's arms::

Host Bren says:  <flying lizard> ::swoops down and tries to take a bite out of Tesla::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::grabs onto arms::

SO_Quinn says:  ::enters the Pignata::  CEO: Are you taking the helm?

CEO_Taylor says:  SO: Yes, you have the sensors...

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::pulls hard.  CSO:  Cover us!

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::moves to help CTO::

CIV_Ian says:  @Tesla claws the crap out the lizard as it swoops by and it crashes to the ground about 50 meters away::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::pulls CMO up onto firm ground::

CMO_OMallory says:  @::resumes his balance:: CTO/CSO: Thanks.

CEO_Taylor says:  ::preps for launch::

CNS_Cook says:  ::wanting to know more about what is going on, routes science to the OPS station and begins to scan the planet::

Host Bren says:  @<Lizard> EKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ::crash !::

SO_Quinn says:  CEO:  Yes, sir. ::looks at him a bit longer than she probably should, then heads to the other console::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CMO: Are you okay?

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  Perhaps we should have the Gryphon beam us out.  We can deal with the consequences of that later.  A shuttle may take too long.

SO_Quinn says:  ::brings the SCI console to life and begins preparing for scans ::

CMO_OMallory says:  @CSO: OK...now, lets not those flying lizards get us.  Everyone, take a point and cover

CEO_Taylor says:  $::The Pignata leaves the ship and enters the atmosphere::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: What's the status of our transporters?

CNS_Cook says:  CO: I am checking now sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::tries to find a place to hide::

CMO_OMallory says:  @*Gryphon* O'Mallory to Gryphon

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CMO* Go ahead, doctor... ::Anxiously::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: Sir they are still down, and reports show they will not be up for awhile.

Host CO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Understood. ::Wonders if he was ever really considering that tactic anyway::

Host Bren says:  @::a litter of baby lizards are trapped about 10 feet from the CSO.. they are crying.... their little lizard voices squealing::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices baby lizards trapped in front of him::

SO_Quinn says:  $::locates the AT::  CEO:  Here are the coordinates, sir.

CEO_Taylor says:  $SO: Thank you, we'll get to them in 1 minute...

CMO_OMallory says:  @::watches for more flying lizards::

Host Bren says:  @<Baby  Lizards> ::are terrified::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: I found something here! ::slowly approaches::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @:: notices baby lizards.  holsters phaser.  leaps over rocks to baby lizards::

CMO_OMallory says:  @*CO* Shuttle gone.  Under attack from flying lizards.  Lava rising.  Need to get out of here soon.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices they are terrified::

CEO_Taylor says:  $ *CMO* We'll meet you in 30 seconds, please be ready for our arrival...

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::looks up at CSO::  CSO:  We've done enough damage here already.  We should try and save these babies.

Host Bren says:  ACTION: A big explosion is heard.... the hill they are on is blowing it's top

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::A million questions enter his mind:: *CMO* We've dispatched the Pignata, they're en route now...

CIV_Ian says:  @:;scanning to locate a safe zone where the shuttle can land before we cook::

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Self: Flying lizards? Lava?::

CMO_OMallory says:  @CEO: Understood.  Not too long though. ::tries to smile::

SO_Quinn says:  $CEO:  I am detecting a volcano on the surface that is about to blow.

CNS_Cook says:  CO: sir, I am detecting an explosion on the planet, it is a volcano I think.

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CTO:  Help me here.

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  What about the transporters on the shuttle!?  Are they safe to use?!

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CEO* Please tell me you've already got the AT and you're on your way back? ::Smiles hopefully::

CNS_Cook says:  CO: He better hurry if he does not have them yet, I am detecting massive planet eruptions and earthquakes.

CMO_OMallory says:  @::sees explosion::  All: This is NOT good...

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Ground rumbles.. as dirt flies through the air.. rocks are falling and lizards are screaming

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::notices the explosion:: CMO: I agree with you.

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::grabs up half the baby lizards::

CEO_Taylor says:  $ SO: Get ready to raise the shields on my mark, ensign...

SO_Quinn says:  $CEO: Ready, sir.

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CSO:  Can you take the other half?

CSO_MacLeod says:  @ALL: Quick!  All of you, help me here! ::grabs a baby lizard::

CEO_Taylor says:  $::the hatch opens and the AT is 30 meters away, Taylor shouts:: AT: Come on!!!

CIV_Ian says:  @:;Tesla grabs a baby lizard, this could be interesting::

CMO_OMallory says:  @All: Be ready for shuttle rescue

CSO_MacLeod says:  @CTO: Let's get out of here!

CMO_OMallory says:  @ALL: Move to the shuttle!

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CSO:  Agreed!  ::moves towards shuttle but waits by the hatch for everyone else to get in::

CIV_Ian says:  @::heads to shuttle::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::runs to the shuttle::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::protects his face against the dirt and smoke, while running::

Host Bren says:  ACTION: Lava starts spraying high into the air.. the dust is making it hard to see and breath

CMO_OMallory says:  @::waits to make sure all of the AT is in first::

CSO_MacLeod says:  @::listens to CMO and enters::

CTO_Wakefield says:  @CMO:  After you Doc!

CNS_Cook says:  CO: sir, the air is becoming toxic, because of the eruptions they need to hurry or the will be in sickbay forever when they return

CMO_OMallory says:  @CTO: Get in now.  I want to make sure all are in first

Host CO_Wilkens says:  *CEO* Report...?

CTO_Wakefield says:  @::enters shuttle::

CMO_OMallory says:  $::gets aboard when all are in::

CTO_Wakefield says: $::closes hatch::

CIV_Ian says:  $::in shuttle::

CEO_Taylor says:  $ ::all of the crew is in:: SO: Mark.

SO_Quinn says:  $::raises shields::

CSO_MacLeod says:  $CTO: Are you okay?  What about the lizards?

CTO_Wakefield says:  $::puts babies in corner and reaches arm out for CMO::

CEO_Taylor says:  $::Gets the shuttle back in orbit::

SO_Quinn says:  $All: Is everyone okay?

Host Bren says:  ACTION: As the shuttle moves away from the planet the hill blows it's top completely. The area where the away team was is gone

CMO_OMallory says:  $CEO: Take us home...

CEO_Taylor says:  $*CO* Mission accomplished, sir...

Host CO_Wilkens says:  ::Loudly and deeply exhales:: *CEO* Understood... Wilkens out...

CNS_Cook says:  ::scans for the shuttle:: CO: Sir the shuttle is leaving the surface now, and not a moment to soon.

CSO_MacLeod says:  $ALL: Everybody okay?

CMO_OMallory says:  $::looks out port hole::  All: My God...

CSO_MacLeod says:  $::looks to the blowing hill::

CTO_Wakefield says:  $CIV:  When we get back to the ship, you and I are going to have a long talk.

CMO_OMallory says:  $*CO* O'Mallory to Captain.  All here and heading back

SO_Quinn says:  $CEO: Nice work, Lieutenant. ::looks admiringly at him::

CEO_Taylor says:  $::gets close to the Gryphon, Taylor lowers the shields:: COM: Gryphon: Permission to dock, please.
