EO_On says:
@Computer: Find out How Old the ion trail is?

CTO_Krag says:
@COM: Gryphon: This is the Talon, everything is fine, have uncovered Romulan ion trails.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Maintaining 8 light years distance from the Warbirds sir, still in course to the Star Empire.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Understood.  Keep it up.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: First, when tapping into the Romulans transmissions, see if they mention the Pendragon at all, may help us to see if they are involved somehow in them sending a distress call.

OPS_Shania says:
COM: Talon: Understood. Stand by...

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Continues to scan the system and nearby planets as they approach the 4th::

EO_On says:
@CTO: I wish to fly manually, because we don't know what to expect or I just set the autopilot.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Yes, I've asked OPS to see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Good...the second thing comes from Starfleet.

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: The AT has discovered a Romulan ion trail.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at TAC::  TO:  Do you have anything to report?

OPS:  What else do they have?

FCO_Adams says:
::wonders how the shuttle is going to catch up to the Gryphon after their survey::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: I hate to tell you this...but they informed me that I must strip you of your current rank. ::looks serious::

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Send the data on the ion trail on a sub channel to the Gryphon.

TO_Sachs says:
::The scans come back, showing that the Warbirds’ weapons were still not engaged::

XO_Taylor says:
::Wonders::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: I am sorry to... to hear that...

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: They are just reporting that everything is going fine so far.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO: Wait...I have found a second trail, also leading to the 4th planet.  Looks like a Romulan shuttle craft.

EO_On says:
@::Now he had flight control of the shuttle::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: The only thing that Starfleet has empowered me to do is...

FCO_Adams says:
::checks her star charts again::

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Give the EO the location where they landed.

CTO_Krag says:
@EO: Once you got the coordinate plot a landing course.

XO_Taylor says:
::Is hanging at the Captain's word::

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS:  So, they Romulan vessel went to that system...  how couldn't I get the reading?...  ::frowns::

Host CO_OMallory says:

CMO_Turok says:
@::Tracks the shuttle's trail and tries to determine its landing site.::

EO_On says:
@CTO: Aye, sir. ::waits CMO coordinates::

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: I do not know...

:;turns to the CSO:: CSO: Sir, my star charts and navigational readings show that we will be leaving our own sector in 45 minutes.

XO_Taylor says:
::Smiles:: I... I ... thank you, Captain. ::Gets up and extends his hand::

CTO_Krag says:
@COM: Gryphon: We also discovered the Romulans launched a shuttle to the 4th planet, we going down to check it out.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO/EO: The shuttle seems to have landed near the communications building.  The Warbird apparently orbited the planet.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::shakes hand::  XO: I have faith in you as XO.  I hope that you will continue to do well and not disappoint me

TO_Sachs says:
::Hears the CSO finally:: CSO: Sorry sir....umm, the Warbirds still have not engaged there weapons, and keep changing there course and going back to there original course. They’re playing with us...

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: Tell them to keep the search.  Perhaps they can find what that ship was doing there, besides hiding.

OPS_Shania says:
COM: Talon: Understood. Be careful.

EO_On says:
@CMO: Okay, Sir. I am plotting now the coordinates in order to land. ::taps landing course::

XO_Taylor says:
::Smiles:: CO: So do I sir...

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Maintain course.  We should follow him until they leave Federation space.

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: The AT has found a 2nd trail from a Romulan shuttle that has landed on the 4th planet. They are going down to check it.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Scans for life signs::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Now, you still have the Bridge.  I must finish with some...Starfleet matters.  Keep me updated.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO/EO: No life signs detected.

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: A second trail? ::looks surprised::...  Understood.  Keep the channel open, just in case.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Thank you Captain. I'm sure that you had some say in the decision.

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Sir, I show the Warbirds dropping to warp 6!

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: I would not expect any, the station is supposed to be unmanned.

OPS_Shania says:
CSO: Aye sir.

EO_On says:
@CMO: No life signs. ::rubs his head::

CSO_MacLeod says:
TO:  Keep checking their weapons systems.  I want to know if they have their weapons online.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO: True.  Most likely the cowards have tampered with the communications station.

XO_Taylor says:
::Gets out of the RR::

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: That was my thoughts as well.

TO_Sachs says:
CSO: Understood sir.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO: Were we not looking for possible hostages as well?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Match speeds.  We are here to escort them.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::receives some Intel reports on Dr. Morok and his latest research::

CSO_MacLeod says:
SO: Mr. Altsen, report.

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Anything to report?

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: I doubt the Romulans would be stupid enough to leave them here, but it is a possibility.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::sees the XO, stands::

FCO_Adams says:
CSO: Yes sir, dropping to warp 6, matching the Warbirds’ present speed and course.

CTO_Krag says:
@EO: ETA till we land?

CTO_Krag says:
@::waits for any other response from the Gryphon::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: The Warbirds are now at warp 6.  We are matching speed.  Still following them.

EO_On says:
@CTO: In five minutes.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO/EO: It definitely looks like they shuttle landed here.  I am also detecting high winds and snow on the surface.  Mr. On, be careful in your landing.

EO_On says:
@CMO: I will be, Dr. Turok.

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Suit up in an e-suit

XO_Taylor says:
::Wonders why they have reduced speed::

CTO_Krag says:
@COM: Gryphon: We will be landing in Five minutes, Closing channel, Talon Out.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::returns to his station::  XO: Stand by...  Ensign Altsen is checking the birds. ::checks the SO's job::

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Any technical reasons... or is it just Romulan thinking?

CTO_Krag says:
@::gets out of his chair and heads for a storage locker and begins putting on the E-suit

XO_Taylor says:
::Sits down in the BC (Big Chair)::

CSO_MacLeod says:

CMO_Turok says:
@::Puts on and seals the suit's helmet.  Makes one more scan of the system for any ships::

CTO_Krag says:
@::seals the suit then turn to double check Turok Seals::

EO_On says:
@::sets landing course:: Computer: Adapt our shuttle with the planet atmosphere.

TO_Sachs says:
::Continues her scan, and wonders how the CTO was doing::

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Well, at least they didn't go there for nothing..

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  What we were not expecting is that they have found another ion trail, Romulan signature.  Looks like it was a shuttle, and landed on the 4th planet.  They are on their way to check it.

EO_On says:
@::taps his console and get down our gears::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<SO> ::finally finishes the scans::

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO/ EO: We must be wary of traps.  The Romulans have no honor and might have planted explosives.

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Your seals are good, check mine.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Checks the CTO's suit carefully.::

CSO_MacLeod says:
<SO> CSO: Sir, nothing to report on the Warbirds.

XO_Taylor says:
CSO: Any idea what the shuttle's specs were?

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Agreed, I only trust Romulans as much as I trust a Vulcan to give up logic

TO_Sachs says:
::With the sensor data, tries to see if there is a pattern in the way the Warbirds were changing there course::

CTO_Krag says:
@::returns to his chair::

FCO_Adams says:

CMO_Turok says:
@::Runs a careful scan of the landing zone, looking for possible mines::

OPS_Shania says:

CTO_Krag says:
@EO: I take over landing, put on your E-suit.

CTO_Krag says:
@::takes over piloting duties::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  Not even a clue.  As soon they have something, they will let us know.

Host CO_OMallory says:
::looks over reports in dismay::

XO_Taylor says:
::Doesn't like the idea of leaving them behind like this::

EO_On says:

CSO_MacLeod says:
SO: Thank you.  Keep tabs on them.

CTO_Krag says:
@::watches as the shuttle gets closer to the ground then stops the ship about 100 feet above the ground till the CMO gives him the all clear::

XO_Taylor says:
::Shrugs:: OPS: Can you research on that, what's an Urck?

Host CO_OMallory says:
::Contacts the USS Discovery for more information::

TO_Sachs says:
::As reports come in, the Warbirds have no pattern to their changes, all what looks random::

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Good, did you just check the landing area or the entire surface?

XO_Taylor says:
::Sends a report of the information about the Romulan "Joke" and their reducing speeds::

EO_On says:
@::finally he puts his E-suit::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Makes sure both his Federation and Klingon tricorder are in their proper pockets on the suit.::

OPS_Shania says:

CTO_Krag says:
@Computer: Lock all systems to all but the following officers, Lt Turok, LT On and myself

XO_Taylor says:
OPS: This can't just be a coincidence...

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO: Check the EO suit

CSO_MacLeod says:

CMO_Turok says:
@::Performs a check of Mr. On's suit::

CTO_Krag says:
@::Gets up and grabs a phaser rifle sling it over his shoulder then grabs the other two::

OPS_Shania says:

TO_Sachs says:
CSO: Sir, the Warbirds have changed positions...they’re no longer side by side, but one over the other.

EO_On says:
@::sees how CMO Turok performing to check my suit::

CSO_MacLeod says:

CMO_Turok says:
@::Stands up, checks his disruptor and bat'leth.::

TO_Sachs says:
CSO: I think they have been playing with us since the beginning sir.

CTO_Krag says:
@Turok: Here’s a rifle. ::toss one of the rifles to Turok::

CSO_MacLeod says:

CTO_Krag says:
@::grabs the Com unit and slings it over his shoulder::

CMO_Turok says:
@::Stuffs the power packs into his suit pockets::

EO_On says:
@::takes the pack::

CTO_Krag says:
@::final he grabs his Mek'leth and stows it on his person::

TO_Sachs says:
CSO: The scans come back as Romulans.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Enter.

CTO_Krag says:
@CMO, ON: Each of you grab one of the packs, they have survival gear.

CMO_Turok says:
@CTO / EO: I suggest Mr. On scans for booby traps while I do the same with my Klingon tricorder.  It is possible the Romulans masked the traps from Starfleet scans, but perhaps not Klingon frequencies.

CTO_Krag says:
@::points to two back Packs::

CSO_MacLeod says:

*CO* Thank you, sir. I will convey your appreciation to the engineering staff. Solkar out.

EO_On says:
@CTO/CMO: I just hit my leg a little bit, but I am all right. ::stands::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: How far are we currently from the shuttle team?

CTO_Krag says:
@*All*: Lets move on then.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir. ::puts together report and sends it along with question::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: I say that we should at least, give the Romulans something to think about... How about reducing speed a bit, just to throw them off.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Reaches the building and shelters on the lee side.  Waits for the others while scanning for anything unusual::

CEO_Solkar says:
::leaves ENS Iwasawa to finish up the work on the systems and heads out of ME towards his quarters::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: I'm not sure CSO: How far from the AT are we?

CTO_Krag says:
@::scans the lock::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain we have 5 minutes until we cross the sector boundary. Orders sir?

EO_On says:
@::he continues walking between the CMO and CTO and sees the buildings::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the shuttle's last position::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO:  1.47 light years.

CTO_Krag says:
@::Frowns as he gets the scan results::

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Reduce speed to warp 4.  I don’t want to cross the boundary.

CTO_Krag says:
@*All: Scan the inside of this building for explosive or traps, we going inside some one force open this lock.

CEO_Solkar says:
::decides to study the code alterations that the Romulans put into place in order to determine what they might have been supposed to accomplish::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Aye Captain, reducing to warp 4. ::taps the console::

CTO_Krag says:
@::removes his com unit from his back and sets it up::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: But why did they throw us off course by turning 90°?

CEO_Solkar says:
::enters his quarters and starts looking at the code on his monitor::

EO_On says:
@::scans with his tricorder for any explosive or trap::

CTO_Krag says:
@COM: Gryphon: This is the Talon, we have arrived on planet, it seems the Romulan may have gained entry into the comm building, we going in to check it out.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO:  I don't believe SFC wants us to cross the border as well.  I suggest we return to that system and see what the AT is checking.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Not sure...your thoughts?  ::trying to help him with logic which is needed for command::

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Any word yet from Starfleet?

OPS_Shania says:
COM: Talon: Hold on a second please.

CMO_Turok says:
@EO: See if you can bypass the lock on the door control panel.  ::Scans for traps and explosives::

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Get us out of sensor range of something... To get us far away from something... or perhaps just to make us wonder...

EO_On says:
@CMO: I’ll do that right away.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: No, sir nothing yet. But the AT is on the planet now. They wanna enter the comm building they found.

Host SM_Tim says:
ACTION: WARBIRDS REDUCE THEIR SPEED TO WARP 4

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Tell them to proceed with great caution.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
OPS: Comm building?  What else did they report?

CTO_Krag says:
@*CMO*: Any traps?

OPS_Shania says:
COM: Talon: You are to proceed with great caution...and keep the channel open please.

XO_Taylor says:
CO: May I suggest that we deviate from their course... just to see what they'll do...

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, now the Romulans have reduced their speed to warp 4.

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Do you get the feeling we are playing a cat and mouse game?

XO_Taylor says:
CO: Yes, but who's the cat?

CTO_Krag says:
@COM: Gryphon: Rodger, however I will be unable to keep the channel open, I am on a portable comm unit, Talon out.

CSO_MacLeod says:
<SO> CSO: It's confirmed sir, warp 4.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Watches his tricorder, then looks up suddenly::  *CTO/EO: *Yes!  Here, on the door control panel.

Host CO_OMallory says:
FCO: Change course a bit and make it...'unusual' to see what our friends do.

CSO_MacLeod says:
SO: Aye.  Keep you eyes on them.

CTO_Krag says:
@::Frowns:: EO: Step back please, reopen the comm channel to the Gryphon, inform them that the look is bobby trapped.

FCO_Adams says:
::smiles:: CO: Yes sir. ::changes course by 5 degrees::

CTO_Krag says:
@::goes over to Turok and looks at his tricorder::

EO_On says:
@::steps back from the door as CTO Krag told him::

Host CO_OMallory says:
XO: Let's see what they do now...

EO_On says:
@CTO: Be careful, sir.

TO_Sachs says:
::Looks at her scans and jumps somewhat:: CO: sir, they finally powered up their disrupters.

CMO_Turok says:
@::Shows Krag the readings and looks around, uneasy::

FCO_Adams says:
::reads her sensor data:: CO: The Warbirds are maintaining their present course. It seems the game is over for now sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
TO: Shields.

EO_On says:
@COM: Gryphon: We found a booby trap.

TO_Sachs says:
::Brings up shields::

CTO_Krag says:
@*CMO*: Looks like a simple booby trap, had we enter the code it would have blown up, I might be able to by pass it, relieve the EO on the comm unit, so that he can assist me.

TO_Sachs says:
CO: Shields up sir.

Host CO_OMallory says:
OPS: Hail them.  Want to know why they are arming weapons.

Host SM_Tim says:
ACTION: WARBIRDS JUMP TO WARP 8

OPS_Shania says:
COM: Talon: Understood. Are you inside the building already?

CMO_Turok says:
@::Nods at the CTO and goes to the EO::  *EO*: Assist the Commander, I will watch the communicator.

OPS_Shania says:
CO: Yes sir. ::opens hailing frequencies::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, once more the Romulans have increased speed.

Host SM_Tim says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
