@::scans the door and tries to scan beyond it too::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CSO: Anything?
OPS_Lys says:
::Looking down to see what her hands had been doing while her mind was focused more on the planet.::
CSO_Lys says:
@XO: Well, the door has a good security lock on it.  I'll see if I can bypass.  I'm not able to read much beyond the door yet.
CTO_Davidson says:
@CSO: Can I be of asistance?

Action: the EO's jury rigging gets controls back
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*:  How long until things are working?
CSO_Lys says:
@::pushes the doors open, since they don't appear to be automatic, and steps inside quickly::
OPS_Lys says:
CO: Ma'am, the nanoprobe took out key parts that we do not carry.  They are so rarely needed to be replaced.  ::Considers::  Some consider them almost indistructable.  As such, the part is only found at starbases.  I can rebuild the unit without it, but it would take me about a week.

OPS: Any chance we can replicate it?
CTO_Davidson says:
@::backs inside quickly::XO: To save our lives...it looked like it was going to fire something.
CSO_Lys says:
@::closes the door::
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: I got flight control but It will overload over warp three.I will attach another ODN connection and you should have control at helm.
OPS_Lys says:
CO:  No ma'am we can not.  However... Could we perhaps we could get the part from this planet or use their own system.
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: I'm not going to risk that.......
CSO_Lys says:
@::a look of exasperation on his face, he looks at the CTO as if he can't believe what just happened::
EO_McGuyver says:
::connects the jury rigging to the ships ODN system::
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: Do your best to get it up quickly.
CTO_Davidson says:
@CSO: Cutting it close eh?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: Mr. Davidson...do not fire unless I give the order, our weapons have already proved useless, all we have is that we are here NOT to fight, understood???
OPS_Lys says:
::Nods::
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Thank you.......
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Commander...if I may?
CMO_Bishop says:
::tries to send the message again to the microprobe::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CSO: Ok Talan, lead the way.
CSO_Lys says:
@::turns and walks slightly away from the others, shaking his head and wishing that Sam hadn't insisted on sending the CTO.  Opens his tricorder and scans::
Host Klord says:
Action: a large number of machines begin gathering around the archive
Host CO_Skye says:
::Looks back over her shoulder at a relief FCO sitting idly behind the CO's station.:: FCO: You should be able to patch in to it from there....
CMO_Bishop says:
::watches the probe pause,,, responding to her commands of stop and move left... but then watches as it returns to what it was doing.
OPS_Lys says:
*Engineering*: I need a kit to rebuild a comm unit from scratch that does not need a verimetric unit.  A system that was used about 80 years ago.
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: You have helm control now.
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: As secuirity chief I am obligated to protect this away team. I know my Job..I have done it before and I can do it again.
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: I appreciate it.....
CTO_Davidson says:
@Both: I am showing more machines...going around the archive.
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: Your welcome.
CSO_Lys says:
@::having his emotions under better control::  XO/CTO: This way.  ::starts off into the maze of corridors::
Host CO_Skye says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, Ma'am......I'm on it.......
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: Engage at warp 3...
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO:There just sitting out there around the building. ::follows the CSO::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: I have no doubt that you do, but you have not faced these machines before. If you would have checked the report from the transporter attack, you would know that our weapons are not effective. We don't need heroes today, we need a miracle.
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Continue to work on it so we can get more than warp 3, please.
EO_McGuyver says:
*OPS*: For the LR Communications?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@Both: I guess we have a audience.
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: I will try.
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Understood Commander. ::makes a mental note::
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Thank you.
Host FCO_Ramem says:
XO: Ma'am... there is no way we can catch the other ship at warp 3
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: What speed is the other ship?
OPS_Lys says:
::Listenings to engineerings response starts to remove the pannel and pauses::  CO:  Captain.  Do you wish me to work on the back-up unit instead?  If I start taking this one apart, it would take down regular communications as well.
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::walks along, looking around::
Host FCO_Ramem says:
XO: The tops speed is warp 8 but they are only traveling at warp 6
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: That's fine.
OPS_Lys says:
*EO*: Yes.
CSO_Lys says:
@::passing through another door, the team finds themselves in a large bay filled with the click and beep of computers.  There are rows upon rows of databanks all working at furious paces::
Host FCO_Ramem says:
Action: the nanoprobe stops circling at aligns itself with the CMO
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Commander...this room is amazing.
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: We have to try..... Perhaps our EO will get it up and running faster soon.
CSO_Lys says:
@XO/CTO: From what I can tell, this is only one of many rooms such as this.
CMO_Bishop says:
::pauses and straightens herself staring at the microprobe... types in a message again:: Probe: Who programmed you?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CSO: By Kahless....
OPS_Lys says:
*EO*:  I will be in storage working on the repairs.
EO_McGuyver says:
::takes a replicator circuit panel and  transforms it to reinforce the flight control system::
CSO_Lys says:
@XO/CTO: The computing power in the complex puts our systems to shame.
CSO_Lys says:
@::continues through the room, watching as small robots move between the databanks seemingly conducting routine maintenance::
EO_McGuyver says:
::takes it and attaches it to the tricorder::
OPS_Lys says:
::Stands up and with a brief nod to the captain, leaves the bridge and heads for the storage area.::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::looks all around::
CTO_Davidson says:
@Both: Maybe we should split up...::aims at the mini robots then eases up::
Host FCO_Ramem says:
Action: the probe begins rapidly rapping it's tail against the jar
EO_McGuyver says:
::Takes the flight control circuit he stole out of a shuttle and connects it to his system::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: We'll stay together for now.
CSO_Lys says:
@::at the end of the bay there is another security door, but this one isn't as difficult as the main door and is easily bypassed.  The door slides open showing a dark corridor::
EO_McGuyver says:
::finishes off his work::
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: I can fire a shot down this corridor to light it up.
CMO_Bishop says:
::leans in a little closer and looks at the microprobe:: *CO*: Sam?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@Both: They must be curious in why we are here, they could have killed us easily.
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: Yes?
CMO_Bishop says:
*CO*: What's the status of the away team?
CSO_Lys says:
@::stops for a second and turns around looking at the CTO and wondering why all he wants to do is shoot off his gun::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::grabs his handlight and turns it on::
OPS_Lys says:
::Stepping from the turbolift, she makes her way into the storage area where back-up units where kept.::
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Your right...that is what has me so un easy
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: I don't know...We're out of communications range.  Why?
CMO_Bishop says:
::looks curiously at the probe:: *CO*: Seems my little friend here is acting strangely... it seems to be... vibrating...
CSO_Lys says:
@::turns back around and continues::  XO: I'm assuming as of the moment we aren't a threat.  That will change if we can access the mainframe.
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: I need warp factor 7 soon.....See what you can do for me.
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: Vibrating?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@Both: Let's try to keep it that way.
EO_McGuyver says:
::activates the new components::
CTO_Davidson says:
@:: turns on his wrist light and phaser rifle light::@CSO: Something wrong Commander?
CMO_Bishop says:
*CO*: I know. Funny, isn't it? I've been trying to communicate with it for the past 5 minutes and it only started doing this....
CSO_Lys says:
@::stops to look at a panel of lights on one of the walls, he studies it intently for a few moments::
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: Is there a possibility it's communicating?  Can you run a video feed through the UT?
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: Please raise the warp factor to 6 slowly.
CSO_Lys says:
@::under his breath:: Self: Interesting... ::continues on::
OPS_Lys says:
::Pulling off the panel, begins to take the unit apart, placing peices carefully around her.::
CMO_Bishop says:
*CO*: I'll give it a try...
CTO_Davidson says:
@::looks around scaning the area::
EO_McGuyver says:
::adds extra stuff to make sure the patches won't give::
CMO_Bishop says:
::does as the CO suggested::
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Will do.......See if you can work on warp factor 7 for me.
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::follows along::
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: Raise us to warp 6 over a period of 10 minutes.
Host FCO_Ramem says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.... raising warp speed in .5 incriments
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: I can do that but I will need more flight control circuits from shuttles.
OPS_Lys says:
::Her mind on automatic for the task, her thoughts return to the planet and her husband.::
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Leave us at least one good shuttle.
CSO_Lys says:
@::at the end of the corridor is yet another door, but this one is unlocked::  XO: Seems security is a bit lax since the machines took over.  ::pushes the door open::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::grunts::CSO: Or they are luring us in.
EO_McGuyver says:
*CO*: Can you get the Boys in shuttlebay to send some over quickly?
CTO_Davidson says:
@CSO: That doesn't mean they aren't monitoring us.
Host CO_Skye says:
*EO*: Of course.......
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: You need to see the EO gets the parts he needs ASAP.
CMO_Bishop says:
::tries to see if the universal translator can pick up the microprobe::
CSO_Lys says:
@::as the door opens, an odor pours out of the room and Talan knows what he will see before his eyes register it.  The room is a workroom where the planet's inhabitants repaired the hardware.  On the floor are four dead bodies::
CTO_Davidson says:
@Both: Ummm...sirs...the of machines outside is large. There are a number of smaller ones heading our way.
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@::grimaces at the dead bodies::
Host FCO_Ramem says:
CO: Aye . *EO Shorty*: Talk to the EO and get him what he needs
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: That is not good.
Host FCO_Ramem says:
CO: We have warp 4.
CTO_Davidson says:
@::covers his nose::XO: I have an idea sir, but you may not like it.
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: Time to intercept?
CSO_Lys says:
@::closes his eyes for a moment and understand why people like to have a deity to pray to at times like these.  Continues on, picking up the pace::  XO: We don't have much further.
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@Both: Let's press on.
Host FCO_Ramem says:
CO: Ma'am... they are still pulling away....
OPS_Lys says:
::Suddenly blinks as she notes that she has taken the unit apart and scattered it around her.  It was a shame she could not put the unit together in as short a time.::
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: If we are able to acheive warp 7, time to intercept?
CSO_Lys says:
@::the work room leads to another corridor, this one shorter than the last::
OPS_Lys says:
::Picks up a padd and begins to note what parts she will need.::
EO_McGuyver says:
::gets a shipment of four flight control circuits::
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: If I break off...I may be able to lure the robots away...to all you two to go unnoticed...I am not trying to be a hero...I am just trying to do my job. Trust me Commander please?
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: Do you have a desire to die?
CSO_Lys says:
@::scanning ahead of him, he already sees the next security door.  This one is locked::
CMO_Bishop says:
*CO*: Sam, it's definitely trying to communicate... but it's nothing the UT can pick up....
Host FCO_Ramem says:
CO: At this rate it will have a substantial lead... assuming it doesn't speed up past warp 6 it will take 5 hrs for us to catch it
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Not a second time Commander. 
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: A diversion is redundant with this many robots, they can follow you and still spare enough to follow us.
CSO_Lys says:
@::not looking up:: XO: This is going to take a moment.  ::sets to work on the lock::
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: Can you tell how?  What kinds of things is it doing?
EO_McGuyver says:
::attaches the circuits to each other and reconfigures them to work with each other::
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CSO: Fast as humanly possible Talan.
CTO_Davidson says:
@XO: Not if you emit masking field with your tricorder they wont. Totally up to you sir.
Host CO_Skye says:
FCO: That's too long, but it's as good we'll get for the moment.
Host XO_Jokeg says:
@CTO: I have lost one man to these things, I have no desire to lose you as well. You stay with us.
CMO_Bishop says:
*CO*: Well right now, it's just looking at me... or appears that way... and it's tapping it's tail on the glass... I'm going to try some more basic communications.... starting with morse code...
EO_McGuyver says:
::finishes connecting everything and starts up his new circuits::
Host FCO_Ramem says:
Action: a small machine emurges from an access port and flies at the XO
CSO_Lys says:
@CTO: They know why we are here Ensign... there is only one logical reason for us to come here.  ::keys in the door code and looks into the room:: And there is our goal.
Host CO_Skye says:
*CMO*: That would be a good place to start.
