<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
:: Throws his leather ball, waits a few seconds and then calls out to chopwI' :: chopwI': wam!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::lounges on the blanket, idly scanning the area with his tricorder, scratching Leo behind the ears as the kitten lies curled up by his hip:: CSO: Idyllic, though a bit quiet without any animal life.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  I am so full!  I need a walk, want to come with me?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks up at the nearby trees and sighs :: CTO: This has been such a wonderful few hours hasn't it?
SO_Jewel says:
:: In what is obviously a type of jungle, holding up a leaf as big as she is.  Looks at the counselor:: CNS:  Sure...
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lying on a blanket, Braeden across her stomach asleep, she cloud gazes.::  CSO:  True.  But don't mistake the fact there is no life other then plant just because you can't see it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On surface of planet, sitting in the grass.::  CEO: They always are with you.  But did you want to find some of the others and visit a little?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::paces in his Ready Room, trying to hide his frustration with the James kid::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I suppose so. They probably think we got eaten by some carnivorous plant or something. :: giggles ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I know what you mean. ::sighs:: One can almost forget your troubles for a while. ::rearranges himself with Leo on his chest, lying with closed eyes, the tricorder left to one side::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Nothing looks very promising... I think these planets are too early on the evolutionary scale to help us much.
SO_Jewel says:
CNS: Ahhh... don't make that mistake, you would be surprised. I guess I can leave my samples here... I doubt they are going anywhere.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I think they know we're fast enough to outrun most plants.  ::Laughs.::  Any idea how far they beamed us away from the others?  Should we call for a beam over or walk?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::looks at the kids on his sofa, then at the display on his desk::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Baby/Tio:  Come on you two!  Time for a walk, take some of that baby fat off you Tio!  ::grins as he looks up at her::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at Dylan with a smile::  FCO: Aye... are you going to sleep for awhile?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sits up and dusts off her clothing :: CTO: We're only about a kilometer from the coordinates. Up for a short walk?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Sure, let's do it.  Can't let the others think we're anti social now, can we?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Let's do some stalking... find your other babies!  ::watches as she swishes her tail and takes off in a run::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: No, just lie here and not do anything. Sleeping is also work. ::turns his head to look over at her:: How are you doing? ::he leaves unsaid the part about missing Ethan::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Looks over at a stream figuring they could not get easily lost following it.  Looks at the cats and then with a shake of her head, moves toward the water.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::takes off in a trot after Baby::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: How old are you again?
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::picks up chopwI' and places her on his shoulder::  COMM: Huron:  Q'tor to Huron.  Lock onto my signal and beam me to within 100 meters of the others.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks back up at the sky.::  FCO:  I am well... ::changing the topic.::  What do you see when you look up at that cloud?
 
ACTION:  The XO is beamed to his requested coordinates.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: gets to her knees and gathers up the picnic things :: CTO: Like anyone is really missing us Icky.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Baby looks up puzzled, stops for a moment then heads in another direction::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs inward:: CSO: I see... nothing at the moment. And you're changing the subject. Ok, it looks like a dog in full lope.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Crystal, Baby is changing direction, you better hurry up or you will be left behind.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: You're, what, twelve? You think that makes you tough? Big man?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Stands up, then offers Holly a hand up.::  CEO: Maybe, maybe not, but the crew needs to keep close together.  We're all we got in this sector of space.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Stops as Randi is not following her and the cat is...:: Hmmm...  :: Turns around::  CNS:  You mean the cats want to go for a walk, not us, right?  ::smiles::
Matthew says:
@CO:  Yeah old man... what are you gonna do about it?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes his hand and stands :: CTO: Ok, let's go. :: tosses him the basket :: Catch!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Smiles and tilts her head::  FCO:  hmmm... and what does that one over there look like?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
SO:  Better hurry!  ::picking up the pace::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: The list of what I could do is longer than you'd think. Out here, I answer only to myself.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at the indicated cloud:: CSO: It looks like a targ.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Spots the CNS in the distance and points chopwI' towards her::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Almost drops the basket.::   CEO: Hey, no fair surprising me like that!  I almost dropped the...the almost empty basket.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Shakes her head and follows only to stop with a frown.::  CNS:  Randi... wait.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
chopwI':  wam!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Baby sees one of her kittens and lets out a scream::
Matthew says:
@CO:  Like I am shaking man...
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO: How are you doing?
chopwI’ says:
::just stands there
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::pulls out the leather ball and throws it in the CNS's direction:: chopwI': wam!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches as Baby approaches her kitten::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: The Brig can be an awfully lonely place to spend sixteen years and the way you're going, that's exactly what's going to happen.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::watches as chopwI' takes off like a shot after the ball::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Her curiosity now captured, she moves toward the flash that had caught her attention.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::looks back at the display and thinks:: Children: Your parents ever take you camping?
Matthew says:
@CO:  Yeah, like my parents are going to stand still for it... who are you trying to kid?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::winces as Leo goes from comatose to alert in no time at all, digging in with his claws after hearing his mother's call:: CSO: I'm doing well... dealing with everything as needs be. ::winks at her:: That med tech who treated me the other day for my head was kinda cute...
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: laughs :: CTO: Well you brought it, so you carry it. :: takes his hand :: C'mon old man.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::trots off after chopwI'::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: Simple: you break the law, you serve time.. and you strike me as the kind of person who'd celebrate his freedom by breaking the law again and winding up right back in the Brig.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Scanning the general direction she frowns.::  Now that is odd... :: Starts heading into the undergrowth, moving aside large leaves as she went.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  That's fine, carrying it.  It's just the surprise catch that almost didn't work.  But I'm already with you on my way.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::Baby walks over to her kitten and begins to clean her::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Humor twinkles in her eyes.::  FCO:  He was was he?  I guess I should meet him... you know, make sure he is right for you...
 
ACTION:  The SO's tricorder picks up what appears to be a small building.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  So, I see you have begun to train her.  How is she doing?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: can't help but smile as they walk along what looks like an overgrown path :: CTO: This almost looks like someone cut a trail through here a long time ago.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles:: CSO: Hey, I was just appreciating the eye candy... I don't even know if I would stand a chance. Though he did make sure I got to my quarters alright and sat with me for a while before I fell asleep.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Moving further in, she notes the silence of the area.  Her eyes lighting on what appears to be some kind of structure.::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  She is doing very well for one so young.  I'll make a first rate hunter out of her by the time I'm done.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: You think so?  I just assumed it was a natural hill that had less growth.  Who could cut a path on an empty world?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  She will be that naturally Q'tor.  Use my program that I trained Baby with, I think you will like it.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  So that was who took you there.  I stopped by, but you were asleep and looked well cared for.  Pluses for him.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::taps his commbadge:: Andrews to Transporter Room 1. Prepare some survival gear for myself and three twelve-year-old boys for transport to the surface.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Children: We're going on an adventure.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Pauses before the structure and looks it over carefully before moving closer.::
Matthew says:
@CO:  I don't think so!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Maybe some animals used to inhabit this area and used it as a trail to a watering spot or something. It doesn't look too recent.
Matthew says:
@::heads to the RR doors::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: That wasn't a question, Matt.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@::seals the door::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  Hunting comes naturally to her, true.  But I will teach her to hunt with a Klingon.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Maybe.  Once the R&R time is over, perhaps we'll check it out, see where it leads.  Just in case.
SO_Jewel says:
*CSO*:  Ma'am, I have found some kind of structure.  It appears to be very old.  There is some kind of writing etched on it, but... :: moves closer::  I do not recognize it.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::smiles at him::  XO:  If you say so... how about some practice between the two of us?  It seems I have lost the SO somewhere, and I need the exercise!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I thought I felt you looking in on me. ::sighs as Leo settles down again:: I think this one is going to be a bit of a lazy cat.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns to look curiously at Dylan:: *SO*:  You found a structure?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pushes through a clump of small trees :: CTO: Icky I don't suppose you brought your tricorder did you?
SO_Jewel says:
*SO*:  Yes ma'am.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@Matthew: We're going to the surface--all of us--and we're going to figure out a way to work together.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  What would you like to practice with?  ::holds up his ghIntach::  I have this and my daq'taH.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sits up at Crystal's voice, setting Leo down:: *SO*: How far away are you. ::reaches for his tricorder::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Which ever one you think would be better for me.  ::not sure which to pick::
SO_Jewel says:
*FCO*:  Not far sir... about 10 meters from where we were...
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Carefully sits up, adjusting Braeden, not wanting to wake him.:: *SO*:  We’re am one our way.  Let the first Officer know.
SO_Jewel says:
*SO*:  Yes ma'am.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::gets up:: CSO: Shall we take a stroll? ::looks at the kitten by his feet:: Leo: You can walk.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: No, but we could get one quick enough.  *Transporter Chief*: This is Commander Ec'Thel'Ion, can you beam us down a pair of Tricorders, please?  And just to be safe, a Type I Phaser.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
:: Stabs his ghIntaH into the ground:: CNS: Then we shall use the blades.  The ghIntaH was never designed for battle.
SO_Jewel says:
*XO*:  Sir... Commander Knight-Sky thought you might like to know of a structure I have come across.
Transporter Chief says:
@*CTO*:  Aye sir.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Hands him Braeden::  FCO:  A touch of adventure would be nice...  :: Stands herself.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Ok, let me shed some of these clothes... ::begins to strip down to her t-shirt and shorts::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Looks at Randi:: *SO*:  A structure?  I thought this planet was uninhabited?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: It's probably just a game trail, as you...wait, for creatures big enough to make a trail this big, sensors would have picked them up.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@*TR1*: Chief, once that's gear's together, lock onto everyone in my Ready Room and beam us down to the mountains with it.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Not good... just when I was having a good time.  ::waits to here where it is::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: tickles Icky :: CTO: Oh you're always thinking aren't you?
 
ACTION:  The requested tricorders and phasers are transported down to the CTO.

SO_Jewel says:
*XO*:  Don't look at me.  According to sensors it is.  A structure does not count as a life form though.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: 10 meters is not THAT far. ::hands Braeden back to her, and opens his tricorder::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*TR Chief*: Thanks.  ::Hands a Tricorder and Phaser to Holly.::
TR1 says:
@*CO*:  Aye sir, ready to transport now.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
*SO*: No, but it is definitely a sign of habitation.  What is your location?  I'm on my way.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*FCO*:  Roz, bring my knapsack would you please?
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  I guess duty calls.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
@*TR1*: Energize.
 
ACTION:  Those in the RR are transported down.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes the tricorder  and starts scanning :: CTO: Ok we should be able to find some of the crew close by.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifting him to her shoulder.::  FCO:  You are not carrying your godson.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Stay, watch your kittens.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sets the Tricorder to scan for signs of fauna, including footprints and droppings.::  CEO: That might be a good idea.  We might just be imagining this, but there's always safety in numbers.
SO_Jewel says:
*XO*:  I am about... 8 meters from where Randi was... just head toward the sun.  You can't miss it.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~Baby:  Guard... there may be trouble.~~~
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::looks around and breathes in the fresh mountain air:: Kids: Ahhh, that's better.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I'll take him when we get there, so you can pour over the glyphs while I sit comfortably to one side with your son and my cat. ::grins and heads towards crystal's location::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Smiles as Nyol comes up to them from nowhere, his shadow Randi following.::
Matthew says:
CO:  Bah... this is a waste of time.  Come on guys, let's leave the old man here to fend for himself.  ::walks off, ignoring the Captain::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  Shall we?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: Leaving without gear? You'll die in your sleep.
SO_Jewel says:
::Climbs the structures steps and reaches up to lightly touch the engravings.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: reads the tricorder and points :: CTO: That way Icky, about half a kilometer due East.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  After you! ::grins::  After all, I am just the poor little woman!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  You realize, there is something very wrong with part of that picture... I think it is you just sitting.
 
ACTION:  Unbeknownst to the SO, she somehow activated a signal that for now, goes undetected.

XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  Hmph!  ::starts heading to towards the SO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: OK, not getting any signs of animal life.  If it was a game trail, there should be some signs.  Let's go.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::opens one of the backpacks to inspect its contents::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: I like sitting every now and again. ::scoops up Randi's knapsack:: *CNS*: In my hands.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: starts walking East watching the tricorder readings as she goes ::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Makes his way over the slight rise to see the SO just ahead::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Following the tracings, she moves toward the door and stops as she realizes there is no handle to open it.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Follows Holly's lead, looking about as they walk.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Their long strides quickly take them to the edge of the forest where they start to enter it.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns this way and that, then sets off:: CSO: She's over there. It can't be that big a structure if we're 10 meters away and didn't see it.
Billy says:
Matthew:  Ah, this is not fun.  :: beginning to sweat ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: admires the nearby flowers :: CTO: Icky, could we add these to our program?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Though, with these plants, I retract my statement.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::speaks to himself, but loud enough for the kids to hear:: Self: Let's see.. basic rations.. sleeping bag.. cold weather gear.. huh, looks like they forgot the tricorders.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Steps back and slowly runs her hands along the smooth surface finding nothing to help her out.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Uh, that would be easy.  ::Scans the flowers.::  And we won't have to trust to memory, we can just upload them from the Tricorder.
Matthew says:
Billy:  Shut your mouth you ninny... just do what I tell you to do.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
SO: Any signs of recent activity?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: You're their leader here, you should probably make sure we've got tricorders, because I don't have any and telling direction's pretty hard without one.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Looks at the first officer.::  XO: No sir... not that I have found yet.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::looks at the structure, but keeps the XO's back covered::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: grins :: CTO: I knew you were more than just a pretty face. :: continues to walk ::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
SO:  Any idea how old it is?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Ducking under a few leaves, she catches the structure not to far ahead.::  FCO: Interesting...
Andrew says:
CO:  Yeah, like you gave us time to get a tricorder.  You brought us here, now you take care of us.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::strolls through the plant life with Sierra, spotting the building:: CSO: Indeed. You want to trade child for tricorder? This is more your kind of thing after all.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Yeah, I try.  Hopefully my really useful, face free skills will be used today.
SO_Jewel says:
::Looks at her tricorder.::  XO: Quite old.  We are looking at around 100,000 years,
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::stands up and throws his pack over his shoulders:: Matthew: I asked for survival gear. That's meant to include tricorders. I trust my crew. Come on, let's find a camp.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, let me have my bag...
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and makes the switch.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::starts hiking towards higher ground::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Looking the structure over:: SO: It shows it's age well then.
Matthew says:
Billy/Andrew:  Stay here... we aren't going anywhere.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::takes Braeden from Sierra, giving her the tricorder and goes to Randi to hand her the bag:: CSO/CNS: I'll just hang back a bit and watch. ::calls Leo over to him, and when the kitten gets there, picks him up as well::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: With tricorder in hand, she moves toward the building and does a general scan, moving around it as Crystal had the front and first officer taken care of.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I think you have several skills that are useful dear. :: glances at the readings :: Hey! Where are they going?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::loses his footing on the wet ground as he climbs and trips, scratching himself on a tree limb::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::swears under his breath, then looks at his arm::
 
ACTION:  The two younger boys start looking a bit anxious and scared.

SO_Jewel says:
XO: Given it appears to be made of stone... yea, it has.  Whoever built this, was a master builder.  Look how solid it is.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Yeah, I always figured having a backup skill set will prove useful in my old age.  They're moving though?
Matthew says:
::Begins to laugh at the Captain tripping over his big feet::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Examines the door without a handle, and finally just tries brute force in an attempt to get it open::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods back toward Dylan, now focused on the building.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::closes his eyes tightly, then opens them, looking back at the kids as though he's having trouble focusing::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Curiously watches.::
Matthew says:
Billy/Andrew:  See!  He can't even take care of himself!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: The readings I have are moving off slowly but moving. Maybe we should pick up the pace.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: I tripped.. but you might be right... ::voice sounds faint::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::takes out other clothes and puts them on quickly, hiding her arsenal on her person::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up with a frown as she makes her way back around.::  *XO*:  The building is giving off some kind of a signal.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Then lets.  If this isn't a natural trail we found, I think it's best to find out in numbers.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: One of you.. find a.. find a tricorder... and get Randi. ::slumps::
SO_Jewel says:
:: Checks her own readings.::  CSO:  It was not before.  Nor when we were on the ship.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
SO:  Our presence may have set it off.
Billy says:
Matthew:  Something is wrong!  Look at him.  He just fainted or something!  What should we do?
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
*CSO*: As in a communication signal?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Walks closer, arms filled with kid and cat:: CSO: Signal?
Matthew says:
Billy:  There ain't nothing wrong with him... he is just putting us on!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pushes through some more brush ::
Andrew says:
Matthew:  He isn't moving... I don't like this.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::his right legs starts shaking, slowly at first, then more violently::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Maybe I should have asked for a machete.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
XO/FCO:  Aye... I think we may be looking at some kind of homing device.
SO_Jewel says:
XO:  The signal is steady and the frequency repeats itself.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: laughs out loud :: CTO: Next time.
Matthew says:
Billy/Andrew: If you two are so worried, go out there and look for yourself.  If he jumps up and scares you, I am going laugh until I am 80!
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
SO:  A distress call maybe?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::slowly his entire body starts seizing::
aOPS says:
@*CO*: Sir, I think you might want to get back to the ship.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: That is not good... perhaps we should just pack up and leave. Homing devices always involve seriously POd aliens arriving.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I could lead if you want.
Billy says:
::looks around and then sees the Captain twitching... he is afraid to move but afraid to stay where he is::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::is unconscious and unaware of the comm::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CSO:  Would we be able to trace the signal from the ship?
Andrew says:
Billy:  I am going to see what is happening.  He looks really bad.  ::begins to walk up the hill::
SO_Jewel says:
XO:  Well... I was not distressed a moment ago.  Could be anything... maybe saying someone is on your territory, come protect it?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; motions ahead of her :: CTO: Go ahead, I like to bring up the rear. I get a better view from back here.
aOPS says:
@*XO*:  Commander, the Captain is not responding and I think all of you need to get back to the ship.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
*aOPS*:What's happening?
Andrew says:
::reaches the Captain and he looks really sick::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  As much as I hate to agree, you are probably right.  We do not have the luxury here to fulfill our curiosity.  There is no cavalry to come to our rescue.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: adjusts her tricorder controls slightly and walks on ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps forward to push through the brush.::  CEO: See? Non facial skill coming to bear.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Lets see what the Commander says. ::turns to go over to Q'tor::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::reaches down and hits the Captain's com badge: * ALL*:  Can anyone hear me?
aOPS says:
@*XO*:  Long range sensors just detected two Kazon vessels heading our way.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::his eyes are rolled completely back in his head::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
ALL: Red alert people!  get back to the ship now!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:

Billy:  Run for help!  Get Randi here... she is medical too!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CSO: Lets get our gear and head back to the ship.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO:  It would probably be wise to leave as little sign that we were here.
Billy says:
:: Takes off running, not sure of where anyone is::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Randi, do you need the shuttle for that?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, look at your tricorder. There's a new signal registering.
Andrew says:
*XO*:  Who is this!  The Captain is hurt bad... we need help here!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks at Tricorder.::  CEO: What in the galaxies is that?

ACTION:  The CNS and XO are beamed to the CO.

CSO_Knight-Sky says:
FCO: Let's go.  One way or another, we can't leave the shuttle behind.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I don't know, but I suggest that you move that cute behind and let's get back to the others fast.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Whatever it is, it just got worse.  We need to get back.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns to leave the area, quickly.::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Immediately runs over to the Captain:: Kids:  What happened?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::drops down and begins to scan the Captain's vital::  XO:  Call the ship, have them beam up directly to sickbay... he is in bad shape.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*TR Chief*: This is Commander Ec'Thel'Ion again, two to beam back ASAP.
SO_Jewel says:
:: Slightly out of breath, arrives at her samples and piles them into her arms, using her chin to help balance them.::

SO_Jewel says:
:: Carefully makes her way to the shuttle so as not to drop anything.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I thought we'd moved out of Kazon range!  Let's go, I think the Bridge is manned by Delta shift backups about now.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::chopwI' follows her mother::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  Quickly, get a sterile field around the Captain ::looks at the monitor::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns to see they are on the Huron :: CTO: What a lousy ending to a perfect day.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:

SO_Jewel says:
:: Puts the samples in the back of the shuttle and then helps with the incoming animals.::
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CNS:  Let me know what's going on as soon as you can.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*Bridge*: Bridge, this is Roz, bringing the shuttle form the surface. Have the barn doors open, I'm coming in at speed.
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
::Heads off for the bridge::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Aye Sir... ::examines the cut on his arm and takes a tissue sample::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Straps Braeden in, then takes the co-pilots seat.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:

CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks out the window as they take off with a sigh... it was nice while it lasted.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sorry sir, kinda jumped ahead.  ::Turns attention to Tactical.::  XO: Seems they're about 4 hours out and closing.
aOPS says:
XO/CTO:  Long range sensors picked up two Kazon vessels.  At current speed, they're about four hours away.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Boy:  To your quarters now!  I don't want to hear you left them, understood?
XO_CDR-Q`tor says:
CTO: Can you tell if they've detected us?
SO_Jewel says:

CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::continues seizing; is starting to foam at the mouth::
