Mission Summary
The Huron arrives at Argenta 5, and a number of the senior staff as well as several security officers go planet-side to begin a search. The XO, CTO and CNS in one Land Rover, the OPS, CEO and TO in another Land Rover. On the Huron, the CO, CSO and CIV remain on the bridge, keeping tabs on the away team. However, once down there the away team detect no lifesigns… but after several minutes of searching they come across a metallic substance of some sort… a gum wrapper. The team must have been here recently. But where were they now?

Host Jamie_O says:
<<<<<BEGIN Mission>>>>>

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Pacing in his quarters, wandering whether or not he should go to the Lounge::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge, waiting for the Captain to make his appearance, while she finishes crew evaluations::

OPS_Barnes says:
::sitting on the bridge at OPS, monitoring com channels for anything important::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, reviewing final preparations.::  Angeltra:  Scoo and Bee have the ship's vital sectors locked down, you have the Bridge.  Keep sharp...like you need to hear that.  TO: You'll be joining us.  Hoping we won't need it, but I want your accuracy protecting the away team.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::seated at the bridge, as the ship continues towards Argenta::

Host CO_Knight says:
::in his RR, where he places a padd down on the desk and heads out and onto the bridge::

CMO_Harek says:
::standing in a corridor somewhere waiting for the turbolift::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::taps her commbadge::*CEO*: Lieutenant, I've finished the general maintenance reports. What would you like me to next?

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
:: at the bridge ::

CNS-McIntyre says:
ALL:  Captain on deck!

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::stands:: CO: Captain.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns and nods to the Captain.::  CO: Sir.

CEO_Hansen says:
::on the bridge ... sulking::  *EO*:  Just general repairs and maintenance ... nothing specifically needing to be done at the moment.

TO_Rain says:
CTO: Yes sir, looking forward to the mission.

Host CO_Knight says:
::nods to Randi::  All:  As you were.

CMO_Harek says:
::steps onto the turbolift as the doors open up::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::has decided to go to the Lounge::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods and sits back down::  CO:  Have you decided who will be on the AT?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CEO*: Will you be coming down soon ma'am?

CEO_Hansen says:
*EO*:  I doubt it.

CMO_Harek says:
TL: Sickbay

Host CO_Knight says:
::holds up his hand::  CNS:  Just a minute Randi.  Didn't you say you finished with Mr. Wyte's evaluation?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CEO*:Ma'am?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Petty Officer Martin is with the rest of the team, double-checking all the equipment.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO: Yes Sir, along with the CEO and new TO.

Host CO_Knight says:
XO:  Has our CIV reported in to you yet?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Vic, how are the engines doing?  I want to make sure we get out of here fast if there are any little surprises in the area! ::grinning::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Walks toward the TL, but remembers he has to go to the bridge::

CEO_Hansen says:
*EO*:  I'll explain later if you're really curious.  But for now, I'm assigned to the bridge indefinitely.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CO: Ens. Wyte has not, I'm afraid. I believe he was still in the process of getting a physical, and his evaluation with Randi - but he is expected to arrive on the bridge now, the beginning of his shift.

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks over at Randi and just stares at her::  CNS:  They aren't going to break.

CMO_Harek says:
::gets of the turbolift and heads towards sickbay::

Host CO_Knight says:
*CIV*:  Mr. Wyte, to the bridge immediately.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::wonders what that is all about::*CEO*: Understood ma'am. I will keep you updated on engineering just the same. Sparks out.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  I should hope not!  Since when are they making engines out of glass? ::can't help but laugh::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Goes to the TL:: Computer: Bridge.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
*Co*: I'm arriving there now sir.

CEO_Hansen says:
::just refrains from commenting, not talking any more now than she did before::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Walks on to the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CO: So, you spoke with Ec'Thel'Ion and Randi, then I gather, sir? I hope everything is... sorted out between the two.

Host CO_Knight says:
::notices the CIV enter the bridge::  CIV:  A bit late, aren't we?

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~CEO:  Vic, since when couldn't we joke with each other?  Aren't you carrying this a little too far?~~~

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO/ CO: Ensign Angeltra has the Bridge, permission to go join our team inspecting our equipment in DEM 1?

Host CO_Knight says:
XO:  Spoke with them yes.....sorted out, probably not.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO: Sorry, sir. Won't happen again sir.

Host CO_Knight says:
CTO:  Permission granted.

CEO_Hansen says:
::frowns::  CNS:  I'm not carrying anything too far.  I'm not pleased and I most certainly do not want to be here.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
:: he is a his station looking the SRS results of Argenta 5 ::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Shall we?

Host CO_Knight says:
CIV:  Please make sure it doesn't Mr. Wyte.  ::nods::

CMO_Harek says:
::walks into sickbay almost stepping on a laser scalpel laying on the ground::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Being on the bridge IS part of your duties as the CEO, or am I mistaken?

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: What are my orders, sir?

TO_Rain says:
CTO: I suppose we shall ::moves to follow the CTO::

CEO_Hansen says:
CNS:  Not necessarily.  When I was called to do work on the bridge, I came.  It is not my duty to work primarily off of the bridge.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::grabs a padd as she walks around main engineering take copious notes::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  But we like to see your smiling face Vic!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: I chose Martin because he's our endurance-training specialist.  With the anticipated temperatures planetside, his skills should prove valuable.

CMO_Harek says:
::picks up the laser scalpel and sets it aside:: Everyone: .... ::decided to deal with the problem later::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CIV: Welcome to the bridge, ensign.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Thank you, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CIV: Could you report to DEM1 please, and assist the security team in inspecting the equipment, please?

CEO_Hansen says:
CNS:  I'm not going to smile if I'm put into an environment I don't want to be in.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Yes sir.

TO_Rain says:
CTO: I'm not a big fan of heat but I prefer it over cold...

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Whatever you say Vic... heaven forbid you enjoy yourself.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Will I be on the AT?  If so, I need to notify Marie to take over for me.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Goes to DEM1::

CMO_Harek says:
::walks over to his office and takes a seat:: Computer: Display all medical reports for the past 2 days

CEO_Hansen says:
::just sits back and goes back to staring at nothing in particular::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::she wonders if Vic realizes how childish she sounds::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Normally I'd take Scoo and Bee, but with the proximity of the Romulans and Klingons, I'd rather leave ship security in their large hands.  ::Arrives at entrance and enters.::

Host CO_Knight says:
::looks over at Eric::  CNS:  That will be for Cmdr. Woo to decide Randi.  He's leading this one.

CEO_Hansen says:
::wonders if Randi realizes just how much more miserable she is here than she was alone in engineering::

OPS_Barnes says:
::continues to scan for comm signals, finding none::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CNS: I would appreciate your presence on the away team.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO: Thank you.  Commander?  ::looking at him for the answer::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::stops to speak to Carter::Carter: Things fine with warp control?

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  On my way Sir... ::standing she taps her badge to alert Marie::

CMO_Harek says:
::begins reading the reports::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO: Where would you like me to meet you?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Your Phaser expertise extends to Type IV mounted cannons, such as on the Rovers?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
FCO: What is our ETA?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
<Carter>EO: Sure are Holly. Oh Lt. Rinders asked to be remembered to you. I spoke to her early this morning via subspace. She was your roommate at the academy right?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
<FCO> XO: About 15 minutes, sir.

TO_Rain says:
CTO: That is correct, SFA instructors had some fun exercises with us in the back of those rovers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CNS: In fifteen minutes, please meet me in our shuttle in the DEM1.

TO_Rain says:
TO: But for personal gear I prefer the Type III phaser rifle.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Aye Sir, going to change now. ::goes to the TL and enters::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
Carter: Lt Rinders? I remember a Monica Rinders but she wasn't a Lt.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
*OPS/CEO/CTO/TO/CNS* Please report to DEM1 in fifteen minutes for away team duty.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: I understand completely, but these are easier to use in operation on the back.

OPS_Barnes says:
::swivels around, a little surprised that he got picked:: CO: Sir?

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Walks into the DEM1:: CTO: Sir, I was ordered to help you inspect the weapons.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
<Carter>EO: That's her Holly. She just got a promotion two weeks ago when she was assigned to the USS Hercules, you know that science vessel.

Host CO_Knight says:
OPS:  Better get going Chris, before he changes his mind.  ::grins::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::exiting the TL she runs to her quarters to change::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV: Very good.  My team has it all set up right here, it should all be ready, but better to be certain now, where we can fix them.

CEO_Hansen says:
::blinks as she was told that she's heading on AT duty and gets to her feet, heading for the TL::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::smiles::Carter: I knew she was hoping for a science ship. So she finally got off earth. ::giggles::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Yes sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CIV/ TO: Each Phaser has been sand sealed, as have the Tricorders and Hand lights.  Oh, and the portable heaters, in case we're down over night.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye sir. ::gets up and leaves the bridge through back TL:: Computer: DEM1 Access. ::TL begins to slide downward::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::changes quickly and runs out her doors to the TL::

CMO_Harek says:
::closes the medical files, happy to see no serious problems occurred::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CO: May I be excused, to get ready for the away mission, captain?

Host CO_Knight says:
XO:  Of course Eric.  Please make sure you're in constant contact with the ship.  And good luck down there.  We'll keep things monitored from up here.

OPS_Barnes says:
::TL stops, he gets out and starts crawling down the JT to the module::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CO: Thank you. ::smiles and heads for the turbolift::

CEO_Hansen says:
::heads into the TL::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
<Carter>::smiles back::EO: I'll have the warp control numbers for you in ten minutes Holly.

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  Holly, how's everything checking out in Engineering?

TO_Rain says:
CTO: Hopefully we won't need to stay over night, even with the heaters it'll be getting cold down there.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::steps into the turbolift:: Turbolift: Deck 3, Port hatch.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Agreed, but it's best to be prepared.

OPS_Barnes says:
::enters, crawling out of the tube::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::hears the CO on the horn::*CO*: Engineering is operating at peak sir. Anything I can do for you Captain?

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks over the Tricorders::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::exits onto the deck and finds the JT she needs to use to get to the pod::

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  No, nothing that I can think of at the moment.  Did your CEO leave you in charge?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::exits the turbolift and unseals the Jeffries tube hatch, and starts climbing up::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::climbs through the JT and exits, seeing the CTO and TO already there::  TO:  Good to see you again Jordan!

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::looks below:: CNS: What a pleasant surprise, Lt. McIntyre.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Sir.  This set is functional.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir, nice view! ::giggling::

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: Hope this away mission goes better than the last.... ::an image of giant lizards flashes before his eyes::

TO_Rain says:
::smiles:: CNS: Hi Randi, they send you to make sure I behaved myself ?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CO*:In charge sir? Lt. Hansen is assigned to the bridge I believe. She did tell me that I would be staying in engineering for a while. Is there a problem sir?

CEO_Hansen says:
::just heads towards the hatch, silently .... still not in the best of moods::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::laughs nervously:: CNS: Indeed. ::continues climbing::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Absolutely!  Plus with my tactical training, I might can pick up some pointers from you!

Host CO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  You know how to contact me in case something should go wrong.~~~

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Sirs.  The equipment laid out has been weatherproofed and checked.  ::Points to the 9 type III's, Type II's, Tricorders, and Handlamps on the floor.::  Camo clothing is on the wall.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::unseals the upper hatch and crawls through, into DEM1::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Goes to check the Heaters::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~CO:  Yes Sir, I am leaving my block down so you can eavesdrop at any time.~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Sir.

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  Victoria is heading down on the AT, so I would assume that you would be in charge.  Did she not tell you?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
All: Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Host CO_Knight says:
::grins to himself::  ~~~CNS:  Me?  Eavesdrop?~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks at the camo and goes over to slip it on over her tight body suit::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CO*:No sir. She must have been in  hurry.

TO_Rain says:
 CNS: Feel free to pickup any of my signature moves ::grins and looks at the weapons laid out before them:: I think this must be Tactical officers heaven...

CMO_Harek says:
::gets up from his office and heads into sickbay::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Good Afternoon, Sir.  Equipment is on the floor, all checked and sand sealed.  Camo gear is hanging on the wall.  ::Moves to the gear and grabs a poncho, slipping it on.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Yes, quite an array you have here!  ::turning she picks up her bag and slips her usual armory into the suit:: TO:  What do you suggest?

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  Well then, you can say that you heard it hear first.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::grabs camouflage gear and changes:: CTO: Excellent work, Ec'Thel'Ion. We will be arriving at Argenta 5 in several minutes. We'll merely transport the land vehicles with the cargo transporters; and the sooner the better.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Looks around the room, notices the officers and then continues his work::

OPS_Barnes says:
::picks a desert environmental suit off the rack and puts it on::

CMO_Harek says:
::pulls over a few medical trays to prepare for any injuries::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::chuckles::*CO*: Yes sir, thank you Captain.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: If I may suggest, use the sand proofed equipment.  One bit of sand in the emitter crystals and their could be major problems, ma'am.

CEO_Hansen says:
::climbs into DEM1 and looks around, moving over to the camouflage to slip it on ... silently::

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
*XO*: Good luck with the Away Mission. I hope that you can find out more on what happen with Dr. Riley and his Scientific Team

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the silvery planet Argenta 5 becomes visible on the view screen

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::After checking the last of the equipment, he gets his gear on::

TO_Rain says:
CNS: I prefer a Type Three phaser myself, traveling light so well skip a type 2 on my belt tactical folder strapped to my left wrist and a boot knife.  And ....well I show you a little something special later ::grins::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
*CSO* Have you been able to identify a suitable location for transport?

Host CO_Knight says:
::sits back in his chair as he looks up at the view screen::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Yes I will chief, but I also asked the TO to make sure mine were sand proofed as well, nothing wrong with being careful!

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Thank you Jordan, and I might show you a few of mine as well! ::grinning at her::

Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  We're five minutes out Mr. Woo.  Get ready.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
*XO*: Hold on, Sir. Let me calculate...

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods.::  CNS: Very good.  ::Stands back from the others, and starts moving about quickly, checking the weight distribution on what is being carried.::

TO_Rain says:
CNS: Only a few? ::grins::  Better get this camo on....desert sand isn't really my color ::slips the gear on::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
*CO* Acknowledged, captain.

Host CO_Knight says:
AFCO:  Take us out of warp.

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Yes, I have one that you might be interested in.  ::trying to sound evil::

Host Jamie_O says:
<AFCO>CO: Aye sir, Secure to impulse

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Picks up his Phaser, and checks it, then puts it in his holster::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Satisfied, stops and takes a minute to put on some silvery face paint.::

OPS_Barnes says:
::feels a shift in the inertial dampening field:: All: I think it's almost showtime...

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CIV: No need, ensign, you will remain on the Huron today.

CEO_Hansen says:
::remains silent, just listening for the time being::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Yes, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
All: Five minutes, folks.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
*XO*: Once we orbit the planet it's going to be better to calculate the place that you can be transport

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir.

TO_Rain says:
CNS: Feel free to show me everything ::smiles::  Can't hurt to learn new things, at least not much....

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Want to check my back to make sure all is secured?

OPS_Barnes says:
::runs a couple of diagnostics on his tricorder just to be sure::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Don't forget the canteens.  Carry what you are comfortable with, the rest will be packed on the Rovers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
::straps on an equipment pack, and walks towards the personnel transporters::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::finishes her checks on the engineering crew::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Watches the others::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::straps on 4 canteens, two in the front, and two in the rear::

Host CO_Knight says:
::watches as the planet grows bigger on the view screen::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
All: How's everyone feeling about this away mission?

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Ready and willing Sir!

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Sir. Once you deport, what would you like me to do?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll feel better when we find the missing team, Sir.  Right now there's a few more questions than I'd like.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
FCO: Advise me when you start orbiting the planet

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Good, sir. ::concealing some inner doubt and inappropriate remarks about desert planets::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CIV: After we're gone, please return to the bridge and assist Ens. Scoo and Bee at tactical.

TO_Rain says:
CNS: My pleasure....::moves behind Randi checking, taking her time to check the straps, making sure everything is secures:: Everything looks fine from back here ::grins::

Host CO_Knight says:
<AFCO> CSO:  Understood.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Yes, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CTO: I know what you mean, Ec'Thel'Ion.

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Thanks, it is nice to have someone that really cares!  Shane is usually the one who is like my shadow!  Have you met him?

CEO_Hansen says:
::just stands off to the side, her hands clasped behind her ... silently::

CMO_Harek says:
*CO* Just to let you know, I'm going to perform a medical drill, however it shouldn’t interfere with anything, you probably won't even notice it is happening

Host CO_Knight says:
<AFCO> CO:  Sir, arriving at Argenta 5.

TO_Rain says:
CNS:  Shanes ::eyebrows is raised slightly:: Nope, can't say I've meet him.

Host CO_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  Good luck.

Host CO_Knight says:
AFCO:  Put us in standard orbit.

OPS_Barnes says:
::picks up an equipment pack and straps it on, then sticks a Type II set to setting 1 and his tricorder in his belt along with a canteen of water::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Yes Shane, he is usually the security on the bridge.  You should get to know him... fine officer.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
CEO: You ready, Victoria?

Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  Anything more you have for the AT?

Host CO_Knight says:
<AFCO> CO:  Aye sir.  ::puts the Huron in standard orbit::

CEO_Hansen says:
::nods::  XO:  Yes, sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo/ Bee*: Keep the ship secure...and keep yourselves separated until something shows itself as a threat.  Don't bunch up!  I need you to spread your force about.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
:: he start to calculate a suitable location for the AT to land in Argenta 5 :: CO: I have to give them the coordinate in where to be safe to land

Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  Let me know as soon as you send those coordinates down to them.

TO_Rain says:
::finishes double-checking her own gear, picks up a tricorder and put it in her belt::  CNS: I'll keep an eye out for him.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::moves to the door of engineering and looks out::Self: Sure is quiet around here today.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
TO: I don't believe we've met. My name is Eric Woo.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
CO: I am going to give them the coordinates right now

CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks over to the TO::  TO:  There is a crimp here in the back, let me fix it!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Everything comfortably packed?  Just make sure you can move quickly, if needed.

Host CO_Knight says:
::nods to the CSO::  *XO*:  Eric, Lt. On is sending you the coordinates now.  Anytime you are ready, we have you clear.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
*CO* Aye, sir.

TO_Rain says:
::looks up at XO:: XO: Ensign Jordan Rain sir, just came about recently.

CMO_Harek says:
::taps comm badge:: *Medical Staff* This is Doctor Harek, this is just a drill. We are at Red alert. Report in when at your stations. I repeat this is just a drill.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::reaches up slightly to readjust the strap where it lies flat instead of turned::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
OPS: Please transport the vehicles down to the coordinates that the CSO sent, and then program the personnel transporters to transport us down.

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: I'm all set chief... I hope that circumstance will not arise though.

TO_Rain says:
CNS: Really Randi ?  I must not have noticed it please assist....

Host CO_Knight says:
*All*:  Good luck and get home safe and sound.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
TO: Welcome to the Huron. All: Now, let's get ourselves on the transporter pad.

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Aye sir. ::steps over to the transporter pad, locks on to the vehicles and beams them down::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  Well it wasn't dangerous, but it could rub you the wrong way!  ::snickers::

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
*XO*: The coordinates are 20 Km East outside the city. It's downloaded to your PADD

CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Vic, mind if I check your back as well?

OPS_Barnes says:
XO: Vehicle transport complete. All: Everyone ready?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves to the Transporter pad and steps up, hoisting Type III to a ready position.::  XO: Ready Sir!

TO_Rain says:
CNS: Possibly...but now I guess thanks to you it'll rub me the right way ::meets her eyes for a moment and grins::

CEO_Hansen says:
::shrugs::  CNS:  Go ahead.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
OPS: Do your thing.

CMO_Harek says:
::watches as everyone scrambles to organize their stations in sickbay:: MO: Doctor Lars'on, please monitor console for report in times

OPS_Barnes says:
::sets a five-second timer, then hops on the pad::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks behind Victoria to check her pack:: CEO:  Good to go Vic...

CNS-McIntyre says:
::steps onto the pad next to the TO::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the whole away team begins to feel their molecules tickle

CMO_Harek says:
<Lars'on> CMO: Aye. Sir

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@::finds himself transported onto the planet, next to the vehicles:: All: Everyone hop onto the jeep. 

CIV_Dem`Rual says:

@XO: Or at least started there.  Aye sir.  ::Climbs into the driver’s seat.::

Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  Lt., inform both myself and AT if you have any further information that could help them locate Dr. Riley.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::checks the time and decides the she needs some food:: Carter: Take over for a while will you? I need something in my stomach. Be back a little later. Call me if you run into any trouble.

CMO_Harek says:
<Lars'on> CMO: Stations starting to report in Sir

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
CO: Aye, Sir

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  I don't like this heat, but nothing for it I guess.  ::begins to sweat profusely::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@All: CTO, CNS, you're with me. TO, OPS, CEO, the other vehicle.

Host CO_Knight says:
CIV:  So, how experienced in tactical are you Mr. Wyte?

CEO_Hansen says:
@::nods and moves over to the second vehicle::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Ok Sir ::getting out of the vehicle and walking over to the other one::

OPS_Barnes says:
@XO: Aye sir. TO/CEO: Either of you care to drive? ::walks over towards the second car::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO: I am near an intermediate level, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@All: We'll split up and initiate a standard search pattern. Is anyone picking up any life signs on their tricorders?

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
CO: Sir, I also suggest that we are near the Romulans and Klingons maybe they have something to do with their disappearance

Host CO_Knight says:
CIV:  That's good enough for me.  Just be sure to stay on your toes.  ::grins::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
<Carter>EO: Of course Holly. Have a good dinner. :;waves and turns back to what he was doing::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Shall I drive?  ::eying the vehicle and the fun she can have with it::

TO_Rain says:
@OPS/CEO: I'm more qualified to be back here ::pats the cannon::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Please do.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO: yes sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO: Aye Sir! ::walking around she gets into the driver's seat and turns on the engine::

Host CO_Knight says:
CSO:  I've already thought of that Lt.  Just keep a close eye on anything out there.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Sec: Martin take our cars cannon.  Jones keep an eye out and your Phaser ready.

OPS_Barnes says:
@CEO: Chief? If you don't object I'd like to have a go at this monster ::smiles::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Does some ship scans, checks the shields::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::smiles and leaves engineering for the mess hall and a bite to eat::

Host CO_Knight says:
CIV:  Please make sure you've got a constant lock on our AT.  Don't want to lose anyone.

CEO_Hansen says:
@::shrugs lightly::  TO:  Go for it.  ::glances over at Chris and shakes her head::  OPS:  Nope.  I'll take the passenger side.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Well… actually, perhaps afterwards. For the time being, let's have the CTO drive.

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO:Yes, sir

CMO_Harek says:
<Lars'on> CMO: All stations reported 30 seconds ago, except station 7

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS/ XO: I have no need to drive, I'd rather have my hands free anyhow.

OPS_Barnes says:
@CEO: Great! ::takes the driver's seat:: XO: ::shouting:: Following you, sir!

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::Scans the planet and locks the AT group::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Ok, make up my mind Sir! ::waiting::

OPS_Barnes says:
@XO: Nothing on sensors so far, sir.

CSO_Ltjg_On says:
CO: I will, Sir

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO: Everyone seems to be alright, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@All: No signs? Very well. Then let's split up. My vehicle shall head towards the west, while the second vehicle to the east. Maintain a constant communications link.

CEO_Hansen says:
@::climbs into the passenger side and sits back::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::takes the drivers side again, and is ready::  XO:  Say the word Sir ::gunning the engine::

Host CO_Knight says:
CIV:  Great, let's hope it stays that way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Very well, then, take the wheel. All: Then let's head out - good luck, folks.

CMO_Harek says:
Lars'on: Keep monitoring, let me know when the station reports in

TO_Rain says:
@::examines the cannon one last time, fine piece of equipment.  Makes Jordan half wish she'll get to use it:: OPS: Lets keep the ride smooth ok ? ::smiles::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::Randi pops a wheelie and takes off on the sand, sand flying everywhere::

OPS_Barnes says:
@XO: Aye sir. ::activates the vehicle and the engine hums:: TO/CEO: Ready and.... away we go! ::hits the accelerator and shoots forward a bit before making an easy turn to the east::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Standing in front of Martin manning the cannon, looking forward.  Scans the horizon, sweeping Tricorder across the sandy plains.::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
::While keeping the lock on the AT group, he does a check on the ship's phaser and torpedoes, remembering they are near the Romulan and Klingon Borders::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@::braces himself:: CNS: This will definitely be an interesting mission, with that sort of driving.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::driving forward a bit:: CEO: Have anything on sensors yet, chief?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Well Sir, had to see what she could do, didn't I?  We might need that later! ::loving the feel of the rover::

Host CO_Knight says:
*CMO*:  How's the exercise coming Doctor?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Sets Tricorder to scan for Copper and carbon concentrations.::

Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  Any leads yet Eric?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@*CO* We have split up in our search, but no life signs as of yet, captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CTO: Anything yet? The first sign of something, holler.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Watch out for that pit.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::walks into the mess hall, which only has a few people in it::Self: Boy it's deserted in here.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Nothing yet.  I set the Tricorder to do Active scans for large sources of Copper or Carbon, considering the missing team is Vulcan.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::guns it and flies over the pit::  XO:  How's that?  ::grinning::

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  Holly, you're more than welcome to monitor Engineering from the bridge.

Host CO_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Doctor?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm just on my break, but I can come up right after if you like.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::settles the rover into 5 gear::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@XO: Good thinking. CNS: Not bad, Randi, not bad... but please observe safety protocols.

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  I was just letting you know that the option was open.

CEO_Hansen says:
@::sits back and just watches::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Yes Sir... I would never think of hurting us... wouldn't be any fun!  ::yelling into the air at him::

OPS_Barnes says:
@All: This isn't too bad! ::wide grin::

CMO_Harek says:
*CO* Not good Sir, it has been 8min 34sec on one of my nurses hasn't reported to his station yet

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
*CO*: Thank you Captain, I appreciate it.

Host CO_Knight says:
*EO*:  Anytime Holly.

Host CO_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Well, you've got a little while to work at it.  I'm sure they'll get better.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Still on course, but I am not picking up any thoughts Sir... that does not bode well.

OPS_Barnes says:
@*XO*: Rover 2 to Rover 1.... have you found anything yet, sir?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::orders a hot roast beef sandwich and cold lemonade and sits by the window to eat::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS/ XO: Neither does the Tricorders.  Even at 20 km, we should at least pick up a trace.

Host CO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  I'm not sensing anything so far....are you?~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS/CTO: Is there anything about the planet itself, which may interfere with sensors?

CMO_Harek says:
*CO* I'll get them in line

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~CO:  NO Sir, and I don't like that one little bit.~~~

Host CO_Knight says:
::chuckles::  *CMO*:  If anyone can, you can Doctor.

TO_Rain says:
@::raps fingers on a metal sidebar, seems like she got the quiet group, darn it::

Host CO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Neither do I.  Just keep trying.~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, the scanners are not picking up anything unusual, perhaps the CTO has better info that I do.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Uncertain.  It's a mineral rich environment, but it shouldn't stop the sensors.  Plus the empathy thingy, isn't that almost impossible to block?

OPS_Barnes says:
@Rover 2 Crew: Let me know if you see anything on sensors.... I find it odd...

CMO_Harek says:
::checks his duty schedule to see who is assigned to station 7::

Host CO_Knight says:
CSO/CIV:  How they doing down there?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*OPS*: We've detected nothing as of yet, which is odd.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS/CTO: They may be deep underground, however. Scan for any traces of unusual materials, materials they may have brought with them.

OPS_Barnes says:
@*CTO*: Same here.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::wolfs down the sandwich and thinks about dessert::

CIV_Dem`Rual says:
CO: There are okay, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@Self: This is like a darned search for a needle in a haystack.

TO_Rain says:
@OPS: Will do Sir :: practices targeting with the canon sighting various rock outcroppings and the like in her sights::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::sees a dune up ahead, but doesn't want to race over it as she cannot see the other side, she slows down going up the dune::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Rover 1 picks up a metallic signature 50 meters ahead

CEO_Hansen says:
@OPS:  Well I think they'll pick up something before us, but we'll see.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
Self: Um, chocolate cake? Pudding? Strawberries!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Aye sir.  Scanning for Duranium or...wait, something ahead, slow down!  It's just 50 meters up!

CMO_Harek says:
::finds the name and taps his comm badge:: *Nurse* Dr. Harek to Petty Officer Zai Coren

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, something ahead... never mind, seems the CTO saw it as well.  Shall I stop on the top?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Bring us there.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*OPS*: We've found some sort of fragment, we'll keep you informed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO: Yes Sir ::guiding the rover down the dune in the direction the sensors have indicated::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
:;decides on the strawberries with real cream over shortcake::

OPS_Barnes says:
@CEO: Seems you were right... *CTO/XO*: Do you want us to change course to rendezvous?

CMO_Harek says:
*Coren* Petty Officer Coren, report immediately

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the object is small, but definitely artificial as it glitters in the sun

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@*OPS* Stand by, Chris.

OPS_Barnes says:
@*XO*: Aye sir. ::Brings Rover 2 to a stop::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::slows to a stop::  XO:  Here ya go Sir...

Host CO_Knight says:
*XO*:  Status Eric?

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CTO/CNS: Let's get out and take a look. ::hops off the vehicle as the car slows down::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@*CO* We have identified a small metallic mass in the sand. Investigating now, sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::nods to the XO, drawing her weapon and hanging back to cover him::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: as the XO bends over, he picks up a simple foil gum wrapper

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I can't make out what it is yet, too bright.  ::Jumps down as the vehicle comes to a complete stop.::  Jones: Keep us covered.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::lets the cream slide down her throat slowly as she savors the flavors::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS/CTO: Anyone know what this is?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::Randi begins to laugh as she sees what the XO is holding::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Some sort of protective casing, probably for some sort of food.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::hears laughing over the comm:: *CNS*: What's going on?

CMO_Harek says:
<Lars'on> CMO: Maybe he is sleeping, Sir. He was on the night shift

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@*OPS* Please head towards our location immediately, Chris.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, it is a gum wrapping! ::continues to laugh::  But it means we have had company out this way!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Bends down, reaching into the sand, wondering where it came from.::

TO_Rain says:
::mutters:: Self: Why do they call it a landing party if it's not fun..... ::wipes a bead of sweat from her forehead::

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@CNS: Then we are on the right track.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::finishes up her meal and returns the tray to the replicator::

OPS_Barnes says:
@*XO*: Aye sir. ::turns the craft around and shoots forward towards Rover 1's position::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sighs and straightens her tunic::Self: Well off to the bridge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Woo says:
@*CO* Captain... we've found a gum wrapper, it seems.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: Gum?  Not a very Vulcan type of refreshment, is it?
