Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: Welcome to the Gryphon.

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads back to ME::

CMO_Turok says:
::Decides it is over and leaves for sickbay.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, sensors are showing that the Aarocdi home world has been hit with radiation.  I tried to scan it, but we're unable to get a clear reading due to radiation disruptions in atmosphere.

CTO_Krag says:
::frowns as he looks at the XO: Thank you

CSO_MacLeod says:
::giggles:: CIV: Indeed...  thank you, Amelia. ::smiles::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Where did the radiation originate?

CTO_Krag says:
::Watches the cowardly Klingon leave the bridge::

EO_On says:
::whispers:: TO: Okay, See you later

CTO_Krag says:
CO: Thank you sir

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: We have been trying to clear it up but nothing is available due to electromagnetic disruptions, captain.

XO_Taylor says:
CTO: If there is anything that you wish to say to me, now or later, I am always available.

TO_Sachs says:
::Winks to the EO as she walks away::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CTO: Any other ships in the area?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'm trying to ID the source... ::still scanning::

CIV_Adrel says:
::scans the planet::

TO_Sachs says:
::Heads over beside the CTO::

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: Half of the planet’s population is dead from radiation poisoning.

FCO_Adams says:
::watches the forward sensors readings carefully for any signs of other ships::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CIV: Causalities?

CIV_Adrel says:
::checks the other data coming from the planet::

EO_On says:
::walks to the Engineering Station and sees CEO Solkar::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::still scanning but unsuccessful:: Self: Darn radiation... compensating. ::tries to compensate it::

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: sir, where do you need me?

CMO_Turok says:
::Enters Sickbay and checks on the preparations for aiding the Aarocdi.::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, forward array shows no ship traffic in the area.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: Sensors are reporting no life signs on the surface, captain.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Understood.

XO_Taylor says:
CTO: If there is anything that you wish to say to me, now or later, I am always available.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CIV: None? How many were on that planet?

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Sir, where do you need me?

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Aye sir. ::frowns as he see the EM interruption of sensors

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: But of course, our sensors could be inaccurate sir due to the E/M disruptions. But yes, so far no life signs.

CTO_Krag says:
TO: Sachs: Work with Science and Engineer to get us working sensors

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: EM disruptions are blocking our readings...  perhaps with more power to sensors...

XO_Taylor says:
::Goes back to his seat and looks over some PADDs detailing rescue and aid tactics::

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: As soon as we reach the planet, enter us into a standard orbit.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/CSO: We will need to be closer to the planet to get more accurate readings and by pass the disruptions.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye sir, standard orbit.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CIV: More power to sensor arrays would be useful.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Prepare an AT for the surface, full radiation suits and find out what you can.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO: According to our data, there were 3.4 billion on the planet and since half is dead it means 1.7 bodies.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::saddened by that count::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: More power would be useful but maybe not help the accuracy. We would still get some inaccurate readings.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, let's not forget to warn Lieutenant Turok about the radiation.

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Approaching Aarocdi now, taking us into standard orbit.

CIV_Adrel says:
CO/CSO: And the Doctor should get ready to get casualties. We don't know... maybe there are people alive there.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Hhhhmm... I understand...  well, perhaps we should take the readings on the surface.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Give him all the sensor data we have collected and update him every few minutes.

FCO_Adams says:
::taps her console and puts the Gryphon into orbit attitude::

XO_Taylor says:
*CMO* Lt. Turok, prepare radiation suits for the AT, which you will be in.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir. ::prepares a sensor report and sends it to the CMO::

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> ::works on getting sickbay ready for casualties::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: That's best we can do. Hoping that the disruptions won't affect the tricorders down there, but at least our eyes will see if the technology is right.

TO_Sachs says:
::Move over to a console a sees if she can help with the sensors::

CTO_Krag says:
::Wonders what could have cause the damage::

CMO_Turok says:
::Hears the comm from the XO as data begins to scroll across the sickbay monitors.  Growls at the lack of preparation time::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Keep updating us every 15 minutes and keep an open comm channel when down there

CEO_Solkar says:
*CO* My analysis of the scans we have indicate that transporters will not be safe for use to transport to the surface...  the AT will have to use a shuttle.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Indeed.  And with tricorder, we'll be able to manually compensate it.

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Any orders before you leave sir?

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Prepare a shuttle for the AT.

XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Either you or TO are with me.

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Either CIV or you are with me.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: I will go with you.

XO_Taylor says:
CTO: Agreed.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::sends a team to get a shuttle ready::

CMO_Turok says:
Sickbay staff: Prepare sickbay to receive casualties.  Ready cargo bay two as a triage center.  Begin replicating anti-radiation injections immediately.  I will take two nurses with me to the surface.

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> ::begins working on injections::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: I will go sir.

CMO_Turok says:
*XO* Aye sir.

XO_Taylor says:
CIV: Understood.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Shuttle is waiting in shuttle bay 1.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Good luck

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Commander Adrel is joining the AT, sir.  I'll be here, trying to make sensors to get a clear reading.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: That way you get to keep that new pip clearer for a while. ::smiles:: I will try and link the tricorder to the ship.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods to CIV::

XO_Taylor says:
*CEO* You will be a part of the AT::

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles to herself because Mackie is not going on the away team::

CIV_Adrel says:
::gets up and waits for the XO to lead the way::

XO_Taylor says:
CIV, CTO: Come along.

CEO_Solkar says:
*XO* Very well, en route to the shuttle bay.

CTO_Krag says:
XO: Aye Sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::begins working on sensors configuration::

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets in the TL::

CEO_Solkar says:
::heads to the shuttle bay, taking an engineering kit and stopping to don an anti-radiation suit::

CTO_Krag says:
TO: Ensign Sachs, Take over Tactical.  I expect a ship to be here when we return.

CIV_Adrel says:
::gets in the TL, following the XO::

CMO_Turok says:
::Assembles his gearand grabs two extra med kits then leads the two nurses from sickbay.::  OPS: Please have the quartermaster bring radiation suits for the away team to the shuttle bay.

TO_Sachs says:
CTO: Don’t worry...it will. ::Walks over to the Tac console::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at Cassie, notices how happy she is, then smiles::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Work on having our sensors penetrate what’s down there better...Commander. ::smiles a bit::

CTO_Krag says:
::enters the TL::

FCO_Adams says:
::watches at the bridge officers leave and is happy to see Taylor go::

CEO_Solkar says:
::waiting in the shuttle bay::

OPS_Shania says:
*CMO* A team has already brought them there.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: A step ahead you, sir.  On it already. ::smiles and continues working::

CMO_Turok says:
*OPS* Understood.

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets a pressure on his head, something is bothering him, a small and very sudden headache, followed by a mental image of Cassie screaming::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Work on getting our transporters through that radiation in case we need to beam them out in an emergency.

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Are you all right, sir? You seem preoccupied.

FCO_Adams says:
::maintains standard orbit::

XO_Taylor says:
::Shakes his head:: CIV: I'm fine...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::finishes the configuration and tests it:: CO: Okay, testing the new configuration...

OPS_Shania says:
CO: I will try. ::starts working::

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks over some readings, not finding much::

CMO_Turok says:
::Arrives at the shuttle bay and heads to the shuttle::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Are you sure? You are beginning to look a bit pale.

XO_Taylor says:
CIV: I'm fine.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::sits in chair, a bit uneasy...feels something not right here::

CTO_Krag says:
::looks at the XO who looks a strange shade of white for a human::

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets to the shuttle bay::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Aye.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'm detecting life forms... some rudimentary power under ground... ::still scanning::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Relay findings to the AT.

CMO_Turok says:
::Begins putting on the radiation suit and supervises the nurses as they don them also.::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Though if there is anything, maybe you should get the Doctor to check you up.

CTO_Krag says:
::arrives at the shuttle bay and begins putting on the radiation gear::

EO_On says:
::is at Engineering Station trying to find out more of the scanning of the planet::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir. ::taps::

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets in his radiation suit::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*XO* Sir, MacLeod here.

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> ::instructs the other med staff on how many injections need to be ready::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::begins changing the configuration again, trying to enhance it::

XO_Taylor says:
*CSO* Yes?

CIV_Adrel says:
::checks her tricorder and sets it to manual::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Launch shuttle when ready.

TO_Sachs says:
::Checks on weapons, double checking to make sure everything was in the green::

XO_Taylor says:
::Finishes sealing the suit::

CTO_Krag says:
::finish gearing up and the checks his weapons::

CIV_Adrel says:
::gets in the suit quickly::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*XO* I could get some new readings...  it seems the life forms are really underground... and some rudimentary power as well, can't say exactly what it is.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir. *XO* You are clear to take off whenever you are ready. ::opens SB doors::

CMO_Turok says:
XO: What are we attempting to do here?  There are far too many casualties for us to be of much assistance on the ground.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Keep tabs on our shuttle...hate to loose them, too much paperwork.  ::has a small joke smirk on face::

CSO_MacLeod says:
*XO* As soon as I have anything else, I'll report to you.

XO_Taylor says:
*CSO* Understood

CTO_Krag says:
::snorts at Turok’s response thinking...just like a doctor::

XO_Taylor says:
*OPS* Understood.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head on CO's joke, but smiles, anyway:: CO: Aye, sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::finishes a new configuration and tests it::

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: Ready here sir.

FCO_Adams says:
::tries to compensate for the distortions in her navigational sensors:: Self: Darn it, that didn't work.

CTO_Krag says:
::grabs a few extra power packs for his phasers and then places his mek'leth in its sheath on the outside of his Radiation Suit and enters the shuttle::

XO_Taylor says:
ALL; Alright, time to go.

XO_Taylor says:
*OPS* Taking off now.

XO_Taylor says:
::Clicks on a few buttons and the shuttle starts lifting up::

Host CO_OMallory says:
TO: Continue scanning for any vessels that approach this area.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SHUTTLE LEAVES GRYPHON

OPS_Shania says:
*XO* Understood. Good Luck

TO_Sachs says:
CO: Yes sir, have they had any luck yet with sensors yet.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the shuttle leaving the ship and gets a lock on it::

OPS_Shania says:
::closes shuttle bay door after shuttle leaves::

Host CO_OMallory says:
TO: Not much yet.

OPS_Shania says:
::mumbles to herself::

CIV_Adrel says:
@::tries scanning the planet from the shuttle::

Host CO_OMallory says:
::watches shuttle leave ship on view screen::

XO_Taylor says:
@All: E.T.A., Five minutes.

Host CO_OMallory says:
Self: God speed Shuttle Detroit.

CTO_Krag says:
@::looks over his new shipmates and fellow AT members and decide that if they end up in a fight that he going to be by himself....a bunch of humans and a Doctor::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks up as the shuttle departs::

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: If the distortions are also on the surface, we will need to set our equipment to manual so we can get better readings.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I have the shuttle on lock, sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Alright...keep an eye on them.

XO_Taylor says:
@CIV: Understood. Switching to manual.

CTO_Krag says:
@::thinks...maybe the humans have a warrior spirit....because I never seen a doctor that could fight his way out of a wet paper bag::

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> ::instructs new medical staff on how emergency procedures work on this ship::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Configures his tricorder to monitor radiation levels.  Makes sure the nurse with the other tricorder has hers set to look for the local's life signs.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::gets something on sensors:: Self: Hhhmmm... ::frowns::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Any weapon signatures on this planet that may have caused this radiation?

FCO_Adams says:
::sits there watching the shuttle heading towards the planet::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, I found something.  It looks like the radiation's source is due to multiple detonations on ground and atmosphere.

CTO_Krag says:
@CIV: How badly will the radiation affect our phasers?

XO_Taylor says:
@::Makes sure that all is checking out::

TO_Sachs says:
CO: So far, it looks like we are alone, still not picking up any other ships.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Multiple?  Can you determine by what or who?

CMO_Turok says:
::Decides the shuttle seats were not made for someone with a bat'telh on his back.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'm not able to determine the weapon type... ::still tapping::

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO: I cannot predict yet. Though it might affect them in a way that they work one time on 2 shots. I predict the tricorders set on manual will surely give out information intermittently so we can guess it might affect other technology as well.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Negative, sir.  The E/M disruptions are interfering too much on sensors.  I can't say. ::looks at him::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Call up on the library computer this race and see if they have any enemies that could have weapon technology that could so something like this.

XO_Taylor says:
::Keeps the vessel on a smooth path::

CTO_ Krag says:
@::frowns:: CIV: I see.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Adams says:
::tries to compensate for a rather bumpy ride as the ship continues to orbit the planet::

XO_Taylor says:
@CTO: Do you think that we will be encountering hostiles?

TO_Sachs says:
::With no response from the CO, goes back to work::

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO: Disruptions can be pretty unpredictable. We mostly have to wait and see. Though everything on manual is a good precaution.

FCO_Adams says:
::looks at Mackie:: CSO: Sorry it's a bit on the bumpy side Commander.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: No problem, Lieutenant. ::smiles::

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: If I bring the ship in for a closer look, would that help?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: No sir.  It would be even worse, since the E/M disruptions would affect NAV sensors and lateral arrays as well.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::still attempting to ID the weapon::

CTO_ Krag says:
@CMO: Do you have a blade weapon on you?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Waits for the shuttle to land.  Hates radiation::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: I'm not able to establish a constant lock on the AT.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Good.  Relay all their sensor readings to us for further analysis.  I want to know what happened down there in detail.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Nods at the CTO and returns to inspecting the medical team's preparations::

CEO_Solkar says:
@:: I find that hands and sticks are usually sufficient::

XO_Taylor says:
@CTO: Thank you.

CEO_Solkar says:
@::and less likely to be fatal::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Do what you can.  Keep an open comm link to them

CTO_ Krag says:
@XO: incase the phaser quit

XO_Taylor says:
@::Puts it somewhere hidden, he doesn't want to be too imposing::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: As soon Commander Adrel prepare the link, Captain.

CTO_Krag says:
@::hands the CIV the last sword::

XO_Taylor says:
@CTO: A wise precaution, although I don't think we will be under attack... at least, I hope not.

CIV_Adrel says:
@CTO: Thank you Commander. Better prepare in case the phasers don't work. ::takes the sword::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir but the radiation is a problem.

CTO_ Krag says:
@XO: Only a dead fool those not prepare for attack.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Do your best...

XO_Taylor says:
@All: Everyone ready?

TO_Sachs says:
::Wonders how the CTO is doing::

CTO_ Krag says:
@CIV: Correct. ::gives the CIV a plus one in his mental book::

OPS_Shania says:

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: We could launch a probe, really close to the planet.  Let's make it work as an antenna, and relay to us all the information that it picks up.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Make it so.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir!

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Launch probe when ready.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir. ::gets probe ready to launch::

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: The link between my tricorder and the ship is activated though it will not work as well as it would have without distortion. Scanning the area now.

@XO: Aye. ::gets quickly back inside and locks the shuttle than runs back out to continue her scanning::

CTO_ Krag says:
@::exits the shuttle and looks around::

TO_Sachs says:
CO: I’m not sure, just a moment...

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: The probe is ready.  You may launch it.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Exits the shuttle and begins taking readings of the radiation levels::

XO_Taylor says:
::repeats his message:: *Any one Starfleet* This is Michael Taylor of the USS Gryphon, a federation starship. We have come to assist you, can hear me?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Orders the two nurses to begin scanning for life signs::

XO_Taylor says:
@CIV: Where should we head to?

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* Mr. Taylor, I hear you.

FCO_Adams says:
::still trying to compensate for the disruptions::

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: Understood.

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* How many of you are there?

CTO_ Krag says:
@::looks around::

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: I get readings from undergrounds... looks like there are life forms there.

OPS_Shania says:
CO/CSO: Launching the probe now.

XO_Taylor says:
@*Yego* We are a team of seven. We have come with medical and technical help.

TO_Sachs says:
CO: There is no one close at the moment sir, I’m not getting any ships out there.

Host CO_OMallory says:
TO: Understood.

CIV_Adrel says:
@All: There is lot of radiation. Try not to rip your suit or you will get contaminated as well.

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* Seven? There are millions in need of medical help.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::begins checking the probe's telemetry::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, navigational sensors confirm no ships near the Aarocdi home world.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Thank you.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Snorts::  All: Maybe he would rather we leave then.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Any contact with the AT yet?

CTO_ Krag says:
@::thinks I am a warrior not a doctor::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::receives telemetry::

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: Tricorder gets thousands of life forms..... ::shakes her tricorder::

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* You are Starfleet?  Can you get more help?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Nurses report similar trouble with the tricorders.  An accurate life form count cannot be reached::

XO_Taylor says:
@*Yego* Please, we are just the first team. We want to help you as efficiently and rapidly as possible. Since there is too much radiation to scan or teleport, we needed to see what we could do.

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders what is going on down on the surface::

OPS_Shania says:
CO: The radiation is troubling it but you should be able to talk to them.

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: Nope... wait... millions.

XO_Taylor says:
@*Yego* Of course, but we must first assess your situation. Again, where are you all?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, it is working.  I'm receiving some data...  and getting a link with Commander Adrel's tricorder.  Attempting to stabilize the connection. ::does so::

XO_Taylor says:
@CIV: I get the picture.

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* You can reach us by using a mining shaft 1/2 kilometer from your present position, heading 287.

Host CO_OMallory says:
CSO: Show me what you have...

XO_Taylor says:
@*Yego* Thank you, we will get there ASAP.

CIV_Adrel says:
@::walks a bit around trying to get better readings::

Host President_Yego says:
@*Taylor* You'll see the mining headquarters... Shaft is just behind main building.

XO_Taylor says:
@CIV: Can you reach the Gryphon?

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: XO: Report.  Any injured there?

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: Lieutenant, try using the probe as a transmitter/receiver.  With some luck, it may work.

CTO_ Krag says:
@XO: We should have the ship call for a federation hospital ship.

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: On it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: So far, nothing that we don't know...  still trying to get the link online. ::taps on his console::

CIV_Adrel says:
@XO: My link is working, so all info I get they should get as well. But I haven't checked communications yet. Want me to try, sir?

CMO_Turok says:
@XO: We will need many medical vessels to deal with this catastrophe.

XO_Taylor says:
@::tries to  COM::  COM: Gryphon: CO: Sir, there are millions of injured. We will need a lot of assistance. We are currently heading for an entrance 1/2 kilometer from here, heading 287.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Send to Captain Harrison of the USS Hope.  Need their hospital ship here ASAP.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: XO: I am sending for more help right now.

XO_Taylor says:
@COM: Gryphon: CO: Both CTO, CMO and I agree that we need medical ships to be dispatched here.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sends request to the Hope::

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: XO: What can we do in the mean time?

XO_Taylor says:
COM: Gryphon: CO: Understood, I have made COM contact with a member of the population, they are aware that we are only the first of many to come.

Host CO_OMallory says:
*Press* Prepare sickbay and medical teams for aid.

FCO_Adams says:
::listens to the Captain as he talks to Taylor::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the new information arriving to the computer, from CIV's tricorder::

Host CO_OMallory says:
<Press> *CO* Aye sir.  Already on it.

CIV_Adrel says:
@::shakes her tricorder again and moans something about not liking disruptions::

XO_Taylor says:
@COM: Gryphon: CO: I will try to get as much information as I can with their leader. We will also try to help them has much as we can.

Host CO_OMallory says:
COM: XO: Let me know.  We will have med teams standing by.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices some cuts on transmissions, but he was already expecting for that::

XO_Taylor says:
@COM: CO: Understood.

CTO_ Krag says:
::checks the power level on his phaser::

XO_Taylor says:
@::Gets to the cavern's entrance::

XO_Taylor says:
@::Can't bear to see how much the world is ravaged::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Sees a lot of destruction, wonders if rioting caused it, or if the planet was attacked.::

CIV_Adrel says:
@::notices that the planet's surface as been under a lot of destruction::

Host President_Yego says:
