Mission Summary
	The USS Huron arrive at the Revonis system, where they detect nothing... the ship approaches the main planet, where initial scans are run. An odd finding on the opposite side of the planet... a large crater, possibly created by a weapon... it bears the hint of diamtome crystals... perhaps this was a test firing?
	Meanwhile, the CEO detects a faint energy signature in the area... but she is unable to determine exactly where the source is... until finally a vessel decloaks, revealing a massive Romulan battle cruiser...

USS Huron - 10410.30 - "Mining Camp" Part 10

Host CO_Woo says:
USS Huron are on approach to the Revonis system, where they will begin to look for this T'Shara, whoever she is... her ship, and the crystals she may have in her possession...

Host CO_Woo says:
They have no idea what kind of ship they're looking for... or what they'll find at all in Revonis... but whatever it is, they have to do something about these weapons...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: looks over the new engineering duty roster and approves it for the next shift, tossing it onto her desk as she sits back for a moment ::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::in sick bay, tending to a patient with a headache::

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The FCO's console beeps as they approach the Revonis system.

Host CO_Woo says:
::deactivates his monitor, as he stands from his desk, a mug in his hand as he returns it to the replicator::

MO_Chen says:
::Entering sickbay, feeling a bit better after a nights sleep, walks over to the doctor.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Captain. We have arrived at the Revonis system. ::Taps a control to drop the ship from warp... he didn't really like sitting on the Big Chair more than he had to::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Patient> CMO: I've had this dull ache since I woke up.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
::chugs down the rest of her now almost cold coffee and wipes her mouth :: Self: Eww, hate cold coffee.

MO_Chen says:
::As he is occupied, leans against the wall to listen.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: replaces the cup into the replicator and heads off to check on the latest data on Diamtome crystals ::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
patient: You look tired.  Maybe you just need more sleep.  ::scans him with tricorder::  Yes, you seem to be fatigued.

Host CO_Woo says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged. ::programs the replicator to accept the empty mug, then, grabbing his padd, he exits his ready room and heads for the bridge:: FCO: Bring us to the main planet, but scan the vicinity for any suspicious activity.

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Patient> CMO: Yeah, maybe... but it's not usually this bad.

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir. Scanning the area. ::taps his controls to head in to the main planet in the system, scanning the surrounding area.::

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Perhaps a nice hot bath and a cup of tea for him.  ::Smiles at the patient.::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: grabs a padd from Martin and smiles:: Martin: Thanks. I'm heading for the bridge again. Hold down the fort will you?

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Patient> MO: ::smiles back:: Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
<Martin> :: looks puzzled :: CEO: Hold down the what ma'am?

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
patient: Come back if it persists, ok?  <patient> CMO: OK. 

MO_Chen says:
Patient:  Try chamomile with a dab of honey.

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: We're looking for gravitational anomalies, ion trails... perhaps once the CEO returns, we can include the properties of diamtome crystals in our search, if this... T'Shara person hasn't done something to mask 'em.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: laughs and waves :: Martin : Never mind, just keep an eye on things here.

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
<Patient> ::gets up:: MO: Thanks for the advice.  CMO: Thank you, doctor.  ::leaves::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: hops into the nearest turbolift :: Computer : Bridge!

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: As if dealing with the Tal'Shiar wasn't bad enough... but we're dealing with an ex-Tal'Shiar member, which arguably is worse... ::sits down, and watches::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: One can hope that wasn't done. ::sets the parameters for the scans:: Any form of Tal'Shiar is bad... current or ex.

MO_Chen says:
::As the patient leaves, she turns back to Strafer::  CMO:  I was wondering, now that you are aboard and have picked up the reigns, if I should return to gamma shift.

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: ... I wonder why the Tal'Shiar didn't kill her. Arguably, she is intimately aware of the inner workings of the Tal'Shiar... But I guess we'll find out, won't we.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: steps onto the bridge still smiling at Martin's expression and walks to her station ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: There is a mystery under every rock and behind every hill... we'll find out. ::checks his console:: Approaching the planet, sir.

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: Excellent. Tell me what you see. ::without turning, he addresses the CEO:: CEO: Good afternoon, lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: Good day Captain. :: nods and smiles ::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: ::laughs:: I could use some of your practical advice for patients.  But sure, that sounds like a good idea, if that worked well before.

Host CO_Woo says:
::sighs:: CEO: Please tell me some good news about these diamtome crystals.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  Scans detect what appears to be a huge crater on the other side of the planet.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: No sir. I've told you everything that I've been able to find in the data banks.

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::frowns:: CO: Captain. I don't know if this is completely correct, but scans indicate a huge crater on the other side of the planet. Shall we take orbit over or near it?

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: ... I assume that, since the computer pointed it out, it's not a natural occurrence... set a course for the other side, but first, do your sensors indicate anything else?

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Cindy is in charge of beta shift and I left R´llel Dwel filling my shoes in gamma.  He is a very intersting person.  Have you met him yet?

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::taps the course change:: CO: Checking again sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::sets the sensors to scan the crater in detail.::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: I talked to him briefly after I came aboard, but I don't know him very well.

Host CO_Woo says:
CEO: Noted. I can't imagine it was an easy task to compile that report. We'll have to play by ear then, with what we've got.

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::checks the data that came in:: CO: Sir, it has a weapons energy signature... but nothing we have on file or encountered before. I have no idea what it is.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: walks over and hands the padd to the Captain :: CO: Here is all I have sir. Sorry I couldn't come up with more.

MO_Chen says:
::Nods::  CMO: If you ever want a second opinion on something...  he sometimes seems to see more then most.  I have wondered at times if he were an empath, but he says he is not.

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: Curious... Very well, take us to the other side, full impulse. CTO: Bring us to yellow alert. ::takes the padd from the CEO:: CEO: Not to worry. Thank you, Holly.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Roz :: FCO: Alien Roz?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: moves back to her console to check on the weapons signature ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Holly, at this stage all I can tell you is that it was weapons blast and I can't tell what it is. ::changes the ship's course and brings her around the planet to the crater side::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: He did seem to project an air of wisdom when I met him.  

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Yea... he does.  Reminds me of my great great grandfather.  Anyways, when would you like me to shift back?  And as usual, I will see you when you come onto your shift and I turn things over.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO: Check with the Diamtome data and see if there is a possible connection to the subatomic weapons.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
FCO: Sending you the data for comparison. :: taps the button ::

Host CO_Woo says:
::frowns, as he thinks... why would there suddenly be another power involved in all this where there was none before...::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Synchronous orbit, sir? ::smiles thanks at Holly and starts to compare the information::

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: goes back to looking at her readings when she spots something :: CO: Captain, I'm picking up a very faint energy signature. It could be a cloaked ship nearby sir.

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: Shift back whenever you're ready.  Would R`llel switch to alpha shift, then?

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Only if you requested.  He and I have been a team for awhile.  I would hate to lose him.  But if you need me to train someone...  ::Shrugs::

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO: Please. ::sighs, as he sees nothing on the sensors at the moment... until the CEO speaks up:: CEO: Recalibrate the sensors, try to localize the source.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: tries to pinpoint the location :: Self: C'mon, where are you?

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::places the ship in orbit as he makes sure of the comparison::

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: I guess there's nothing wrong with having two MOs on gamma shift.  But it would be nice to have an assistant during alpha.  Is there anyone you would recommend?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: sharpens the sensors as ordered and continues to look for the possible cloaked ship ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO/CEO: Captain, Holly. Its a match. The crater was caused by a weapon from those crystals.

Host CO_Woo says:
CTO/FCO: Take no further defensive actions yet... but do run a thorough scan of the crater.... Oh, good God... CEO: Do the shields interact with the energy beam from the Diamtome crystals?

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: looks up :: CO: Sir, if there is a cloaked ship out there, they could have an energy weapon aboard.

Host CO_Woo says:
CEO: Continue.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: Sir, that is unknown at this time, but if that ship has some sort of subatomic weapon......

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::listens over his shoulder even as he's plotting an escape course::

Host CO_Woo says:
CEO: I understand, lieutenant. Which is why I need ideas quickly on how to neutralize that weapon before it can be used on us.

MO_Chen says:
CMO: Well... there is Suisanne and Kíí'balt... either one would make a good assistant.  Suisanne was actually on Alpha with the last chief until I was asked to step in till you arrived.  A simple swap.

Host CO_Woo says:
FCO/CEO: What are they doing... just sitting out there... waiting for us to do something...

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: It's possible that they've found a way to adapt the crystals to just emit a less destructive beam at this time, perhaps as a warning?

Host CO_Woo says:
CEO: A more pleasant explanation may be that they simply do not yet know how to fully tap into the crystals' powers...

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: With such a weapon, just the threat of it could be enough to make us sit up and listen.

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
MO: I guess the simplest thing to do is just put Suisanne back, then.  Did the previous arrangement work well?

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  As far as I know it did.  I never heard any complaints.  Over all, we have a very good staff.  We did have a doctor awhile back that was a pain in the... ummm... neck.  But he left.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  A Romulan battle cruiser decloaks off the port side.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
:: checks her readings :: CO: Oh Captain, I think I've found our mystery ship.

CEO_Lt_Sparks says:
CO: Reading a Romulan battle cruiser....off our port bow.

FCO_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::bites back an oath:: CO: Captain, Romulan ship decloaking off our port side. ::he adds as explanation to Holly's words::

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Did you want to go on the possible away mission or did you want me to?  And if you, I guess I will hold the fort until we get everyones new schedules worked out.  Actually, more our bodies internal clocks resorted.

Host CO_Woo says:
CEO: Well, finally. CTO: Shields to max, increase power to weapons gradually. FCO: Hail them.

CMO_Ens_Strafer says:
::inhales sharply, remembering the recent loss of the TO, then relaxes:: MO: I'll... take the away mission.  I guess we'll wait until that happens before re-arranging the shifts.

MO_Chen says:
CMO:  Gottchya.  Need me for anything specific at the moment?
