CTO_Marek says:
CO: I don’t have any idea about what have happened here, sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: I'm fine Captain.  Should I do a small reconnaissance?

SO_Brehgorn says:
::can't help but to smile at his colleagues in such casual attire::

Host CO_Valar says:

FCO_Svelth says:
CSO:  Looks like everyone is here

Host CO_Valar says:
CIV: Go with the CTO, please.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: A loud rumbling is heard and part of the ceiling caves in cutting them off from the light source. Several torches appear on the walls.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::moves quickly::

SO_Brehgorn says:
::intuitively grabs a torch from the wall::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Covers her head as the cave ceiling falls::

::Cringes down to the ground.:: Self: Yikes.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Captain, the entire senior staff appears to be here Sir.

CNS_West says:
::Wonders what is going on::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir this does not look good.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::ducks falling debris::

CNS_West says:
:: moves quickly out of the way of falling ceiling ::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Let's move quickly.

CIV_Danforth says:
::follows CTO::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: You've got it.

FCO_Svelth says:
::looks behind as the pinpoint of light goes out::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks up.:: CO: This is very weird sir. ::Walks to a torch.:: Shall I grab one.  ::Reaches, but stops short.::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Grabs a torch::  ALL: Let's go!  Split up.  Half down one tunnel, half down the other.

CTO_Marek says:
::grabs a torch::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::walks over to a torch, examines it for possible booby traps::

CIV_Danforth says:
::grabs a torch::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Grabs one and stops:: CO: Sir? Who's with whom?

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I'll take the tunnel on the right.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Heads for the tunnel going right.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::slows down as they approach the light and signals for the rest of them to slow down too::

CNS_West says:
%::Moving closely behind CO, hold up torch to see pathway::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::takes up the rear::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Heads down the right tunnel with the others.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Stops just behind Danforth::  Lieutenant?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::looks around to see who has gone left::

CMO_Tae says:
@::walks down the tunnel::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: We have no tricorders and no comm. badges.

CTO_Marek says:
@XO:: The tunnel walls seems not to be very stable, sir.. we should move fast..

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: correct Sir, not to mention no idea how we got here.....I wonder if we are on a planet in the Demimone System

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks closely at his surroundings as he makes his way down the tunnel.::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Agreed.  @All: Let's get moving.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%All: The rock is clearly metamorphic in origin.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: In the right tunnel is a pile of miner’s helmets and picks.

FCO_Svelth says:
%::sticking close to the group, looking through the flickering light... something is ahead::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Adjusting to the light Captain ::whispering back:: ...there's a pile of what appear to be miner's helmets and picks.

CTO_Marek says:
@::sees the pile::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@CMO/CTO/XO: Let's stay close, we don't want to get separated and lost.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::holding my torch over the pile::

CNS_West says:
%:;Looks more closely at walls, places hand on them as she walks very slowly ::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::looks at the primitive mining gear:: Self: Peculiar.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Sees the pile of equipment on the ground:: CIV: What is that?  ::Points the torch towards the equipment::

FCO_Svelth says:
%CIV: Miners equip...?

CMO_Tae says:
@::follows the people in the tunnel::

CTO_Marek says:
@CSO: Aye, sir

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Moves to the pile of equip, looking it over::

XO_Hicks says:
@::Leading his group through the left tunnel at a quick pace::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: In the left tunnel is a pile of shovels and some kerosene lanterns.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::waves the torch near the wall and looks for anything of use or information::

CMO_Tae says:
@::looks around as she walks::

CTO_Marek says:
@CSO: These seems to be old Earth mining tools, sir

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks at the pile of helmets and picks.  Waving his torch around to get a better look.::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::taking a hold of a helmet and pick, putting it on::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Picks up a helmet and holds it out to the CO::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Looks at the equipment::  ALL: Grab this stuff and let's move! ::Puts on a helmet and grabs a pick::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: I'll go ahead a bit, Sir, and see what's up there.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::attempts to analyze the rock surface for any mining minerals of value::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::running slightly ahead of the group::

XO_Hicks says:
@All:  Look here, there are tools and lanterns.

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Puts on helmet, hefts a pick::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Sees some old tools::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::stops and examines the equipment::  XO: Sir, it appears to be mining equipment.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::catches up with his fellow officers::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Grabs a set and follows, wondering what’s going on.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Acknowledged.

CNS_West says:
%CO: Aye sir, ::Picks up pick and pushes helmet onto her head::

CMO_Tae says:
@::looks where the XO is pointing::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::picks up a lantern to see if it has any fuel::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Agreed, let's pick it up and keep moving.

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: What is that?

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Turns on the light on the helmet::

CTO_Marek says:
@All: Are we supposed to use this? ::mumbles in vulcan::

CNS_West says:
%::reaches up and turns light on, on her helmet::

FCO_Svelth says:
%:;fiddles with helmet... light suddenly come on::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Sighs and puts on his helmet, looks at it and then to his Captain and turns on the light too.:: Self: Cool. ::Hurries and catches up with the others.::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::activates light on his helmet::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@OPS: I would guess old mining equipment.

XO_Hicks says:
@::Lights a Kerosene lantern for better vision::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Looks up and rushes to Danforth::  CIV: What is it, Lt.?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: The lanterns do have fuel Sir, they would be much safer then torches as a light source.

CMO_Tae says:
@::picks up some of the equipment::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::moves off with the group::

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: Old is right.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Buckets.  This is getting weirder by the moment.

CTO_Marek says:
@::grabs a lantern and lights it up::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Buckets?

CIV_Danforth says:
%::picking one up and heading forward:: CO: I'll keep pace ahead.

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Yes, let's light them all.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::leans down and uses a few strikers to light a lantern, then picks up a shovel and gets ready to depart this area::

CNS_West says:
%CO: I wonder what we are being led to do here?

OPS_Kerst says:
@::grabs a shovel::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Picks up a bucket but doesn't know why.  Follows Danforth::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::begins privately considering the possibility that this is a holographic illusion::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::walks around the area to see if there are any clues to be found::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CNS: I am as perplexed as you are.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::grabs a bucket::

CNS_West says:
%::Looks at bucket, picks it up ,looks underneath it, sees nothing::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Continues to carry his torch and looks over at Danforth, then picks up a bucket and follows closely with Danforth.  Wondering if he should.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: even though I don't want to admit it, this may be some trick from the Admiral to test us.

CMO_Tae says:
@::looks ahead::  XO: Sir, there's a mine car track up ahead.

CTO_Marek says:
@XO/CSO: I suggest to keep moving on

CIV_Danforth says:
%::thinking to myself...buckets, picks, and helmets...maybe we're carrying something?""

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks down the tunnel awhile to see what he can see.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Thinks: Maybe there is gold in these here hills?::

XO_Hicks says:
@All:  We must follow this tunnel to its end.

OPS_Kerst says:
@ALL: If it has an end, it could just dead-end in rock.

CNS_West says:
%::Torch in hand, pick in hand and bucket around wrist, Walks  down tunnel::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: Let me be in front, sir. We don't know what we are facing...

CSO_Pavielion says:
@All: is everyone ready to get going?

FCO_Svelth says:
%::sniffs at the air, trying to tell if it is fresh or stale::

XO_Hicks says:
@::Looks to where the CMO has stated:: CMO: Acknowledged.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::hears a strange sound...maybe...::

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: Yes

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Continues and starts to giggle a bit.:: ALL: Hey!  We’re like the seven dwarfs!

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Continues slowly down the tunnel carrying a torch, pick and a bucket::

CNS_West says:
%:;sets torch down::

XO_Hicks says:
@OPS: If it dead-ends, that's where it ends, then we start digging.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CEO: The seven what?

CIV_Danforth says:
%::waits for the group::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Shall we follow the track?

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Pictures Captain.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Stumbles a bit, and looks down. Points to it.:: ALL: Look at this.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Strange pictures.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::looks at the odd images::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Yes we shall.  All: Let's move.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::begins walking, looking back for the rest of the crew to get going::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Looks to whatever it is the CEO is pointing too:: What is it, Cmdr?

CEO_Corjet says:
%SO: The seven dwarfs.  It’s an old Earth story.  But look...  ::Points down.:: Looks like some tracks.

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Follows CSO::

CTO_Marek says:
@::follow the XO::

CMO_Tae says:
@::keeps walking::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Explain.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CEO: Indeed.

CNS_West says:
%::rubbing face, keeps walking::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Chuckles to himself thinking that they probably don't know because they don’t have kids.  Bends down and looks closer at the tracks for a moment.::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Not quite sure, Captain, but they might give us a hint about why these objects are here.

CTO_Marek says:
@::follow the XO::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::begins feeling woozy, but shakes it off and regains composure::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::continues to follow the track, takes another head count to make sure everyone is there.::

CNS_West says:
%CIV: Let me take a look at those pictures.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Giggles a bit thinking this is a bit funny.  Then stops and continues.::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Continues to follow CSO, carrying an old mining tool::

CMO_Tae says:
@::keeps walking being careful not to trip on anything::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::starts to fill a bit confined... here... underground....::

CTO_Marek says:
@::tries to see something in the distance::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::starts seeing faces in the shadows...shakes his head to clear his thoughts::

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: you know, sometimes I think it is amazing that all the million of tons of rock above us doesn't come crashing down and smash us flat.....

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Holds the torch up to the pictures on the cave wall::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Waves his torch around to try to get a better look.::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Sir, I'll scout ahead a bit, maybe you can make heads or tails of these pictures.  So far, I'm not getting any clues.

Host CO_Valar says:
%SO: What do you make of these pictures?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::faces OPS:: Just don't think about, we don't need any more stress right now.  Besides, if it does we won't have any time to think about it.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::begins heading farther down the tunnel::

CNS_West says:
%::Walks over to pictures on wall, trying to make out the symbols::

XO_Hicks says:
@OPS: That's a comforting thought, I appoint you Morale Officer.

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Very well, but do not go too far.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO:  I have no idea, sir...they seem...cryptic, to say the least.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Wonders what’s going on here and follows the CIV.::

CMO_Tae says:
@::looks along the tracks and sees something::  XO:  There's a mining car up ahead, sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Yes, sir.

FCO_Svelth says:
%;; looks over the CO's shoulder, at  the pictures::

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: Not true, we might have a whole second or two before we're smashed flatter than a slip of Latinum.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: There do seem to be repeating motifs, but I can't crack any type of code.

XO_Hicks says:
@CMO: Good eye, Kara.  All: Is it big enough for all of us to fit in?

Host CO_Valar says:
%SO: Stay on it, Ensign.  They might have some meaning.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::frowns::  OPS: point being, we won't have much time to feel it ::stops the line of conversation, looks ahead at the car::

CTO_Marek says:
@::sees the mining car::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::looks at car::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: Understood, sir.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Begins walking further down the tunnel::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: It's not very strong, but I think it's enough, sir

CIV_Danforth says:
%::stops dead in tracks as CEO catches up::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Sir!  Better get down her quick!

OPS_Kerst says:
@XO: I hope the track holds up if we try this thing.

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO: Anything will help.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks back to his Captain and the others, then turns to follow the CIV, almost bumping into him.:: CIV: Sorry sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Sir, we should check to see if the car even works, it might be rusted in place.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Stops when she reaches Danforth:: CIV: Anything?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::hears the CIV's announcement, and joins the fray::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Hits the dirt::  CIV: What is going on?

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO/OPS: See if it will move and if the break is functional.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Look.  ::points to phaser type tools used for drilling and some obvious replicator pieces::

CTO_Marek says:
@::takes a closer look to the tracks::

FCO_Svelth says:
%:: moves to Danforth::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::tries break::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: This is obviously a very advanced civilization.

CNS_West says:
%::Walking over to equipment::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::walks over to the car and gets in front of it, tries to move it back and forth::

OPS_Kerst says:
@XO: the brake seems to work, for now.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: Captain...I have formed a theory as to the nature of the pictures.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Gets up from the dirt and dusts herself off.  Picks up her equipment and the torch.  Walks over to inspect the new equipment::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: Shall I report?

CNS_West says:
%CO: is seems as though they advancing at the progression down the tunnel, sort of like a calendar does.

XO_Hicks says:
@OPS: Good.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: I'll keep going on a bit, just for reconnaissance.

Host CO_Valar says:
%SO: Let's hear it, Ensign.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks closely at the new stuff.:: Self: Hmm.

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Negative. Stay where you are.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Judging from the slope of the tunnel, we should be able to climb to about 16 kilometers an hour in the car at full speed.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Yes, sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: Hopefully we can stop the car once we're going that fast.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::stops just as he's about to start::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Acknowledged.

FCO_Svelth says:
%::checks power supply in the phaser drill::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Waits for the SO's interpretation of the pictures::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::bends down to look at the pieces, shuffles them around a bit::

XO_Hicks says:
@All: Well, let's get in and get moving.  OPS: You control the brake.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO:  The images are of small beings, worshiping some sort of female deity.  They are all raising tools when a star symbol is prominent, and all standing on tools when a moon symbol is prevalent.  I believe this is indicative of pleasure with mining success, and displeasure with mining failure...I'm not sure if this adds to our investigation..::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Takes a closer look at the equipment, wondering what they are.::

CNS_West says:
%CO: I think this equipment means some sort of advancement thru time.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::stands next to the car and helps everyone in::

CMO_Tae says:
@::gets into the car::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO/CSO: I think we should be very careful in distributing our weight once we are in the car.

CNS_West says:
%SO: Pleasure?

XO_Hicks says:
@::Waits for everyone to get in::

Host CO_Valar says:
%SO: ::Nods as she listens::  Perhaps, Ensign.  We shall keep that in mind.  ::Begins looking at the drilling equipment::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Picks one up and scratches his head wondering.::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Gets in car, near brake handle::

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO:  Since I'm the heaviest, I'll sit in the middle.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS:  I believe the murals indicate some sort of connection between the miners industry and their religious beliefs::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: I'll sit in the back, sir

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: In you go, Commander.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Sir, I could give the car a quick running push and then pull myself in.

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO: Fine.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Sighs.:: Self: Ahh!  Miners!  Yes.

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO: Give me a three count and I'll release the brake.

CNS_West says:
%SO: maybe the mining is their belief! I could be their way of sacrifice or something to that effect?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Unless there's another way to get this thing going.

TO_Corjet says:
@:: In the left tunnel::

CTO_Marek says:
@CSO: I will help you to pull in, CSO.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS: Or perhaps their failure to mine successfully has lead to our abduction.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Tries to chip away some of the cave walls, looking for some type of mineral or oar::

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Agreed, let's do it.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Perhaps...perhaps we are not supposed to dig at night and only in the day.

CNS_West says:
%SO: perhaps, they wish to have us do the slave work to appease their gods?

CTO_Marek says:
@::sits in the back::

TO_Corjet says:
@::sits in the car::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@All: hold on ::starts to push the cart-slow at first, then faster::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks at his Captain and wonders why she's digging, stares at her for a moment. Then looks to the others.::

TO_Corjet says:
@::looks over at Kara:: CMO: this is interesting...

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: A lot of speculation.  We need answers.  Like who transported us here and why?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS: Either way, I believe that they are the ones who brought us to this place...and that they are watching.

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Holds on to brake level, ready to stop car at the first sign of trouble::

CMO_Tae says:
@TO:  That's one way of putting it.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::feels the cart pulling ahead, jumps up and tries to pull himself into the cart::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Continues to chip away at the cave wall, looking for something::

CNS_West says:
%CO: do we dig , or keep going?

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: This feels like a test, sir.  A test of our ability to adapt perhaps?

TO_Corjet says:
@CMO: I prefer not to think of it any other way, the mind is more scary then reality....

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Should I reconnoiter a bit?

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Chuckles for a moment thinking.:: CO: Maybe they put us here so they could inspect the station? ::Looks to Danforth and nods::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Perhaps.  ::Sees nothing coming out of the chippings::  ALL: Let's move on.

XO_Hicks says:
@::Reaches out for the CSO To help pull him in::

CEO_Corjet says:
%CIV: Yes, that’s probably it.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::gets pulled into the cart and takes a seat, looks ahead for any signs of danger, hangs a lantern at the front of the car::

CTO_Marek says:
@::gives a hand to XO::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::follows the CO::

CNS_West says:
%::Wonders,::

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The left tunnel abruptly ends. The mine car thuds into a wall.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Slings some of the equipment over his shoulder and starts to head down the tunnel again.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Lead the way, Lieutenant.  ::follows Danforth::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::tries the drill on the wall::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::moves ahead of the group again, like before, acting as a scout::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::ooch::

TO_Corjet says:
@::lurches forward::

XO_Hicks says:
@::Lurches forward as the car crashes into a wall::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::gets thrown into a solid wall::  Self:  Oooof!

CNS_West says:
%Steps back into place, picks up bucket and follows CO::

OPS_Kerst says:
@ALL: Short ride.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%Whispers in a barely audible tone:  I know you are watching us...I can see you in my mind...

XO_Hicks says:
@All: Is everyone OK?

TO_Corjet says:
@::groans and rubs her forehead::

CMO_Tae says:
@::falls forward::  Self:  Ouch!

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Sighs and wonders what’s happening to his wife, and what's going to happen again.::

TO_Corjet says:
@Hicks: I'm fine sir

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: I'm fine ::rubs his head::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::tries to lean back, waits for a few crew men to get off of him::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::looks around::

TO_Corjet says:
@::Looks to Kara::

CNS_West says:
%::Hears SO whispering, Looks back at him, briefly, turns, ahead::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Exits car::

TO_Corjet says:
@CMO: Kara, you okay?

CMO_Tae says:
@::gets up::  TO:  I think so

CTO_Marek says:
@All: At least it was a try...

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS:  Just a self-indulgent experiment, sir.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: A loud rumbling is heard and the tunnel caves in behind the mine car.

TO_Corjet says:
@CMO: good...

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Moves down the hall with the others, periodically trying the drill on the wall::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Keeps moving ahead, looking at the walls and ceilings as she passes::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@All: duck down!  ::ducks and covers his head in case of falling rocks::

CMO_Tae says:
@::covers her head and the tunnel caves in::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Catches up with the CIV and walks next to him.:: CIV: This is totally weird!

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Sees cave in, utters something in Romulan::

TO_Corjet says:
@::Pulls Kara forward instinctively::

CNS_West says:
%SO: It is all right to be a bit apprehensive, when you do not know what's ahead.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS: ...or what's behind...

XO_Hicks says:
@All:  Well let's see how hard this wall is.  ::Takes cover as the tunnel caves in:: All: Get down!

CIV_Danforth says:
%CEO: It is...it still makes me wonder why these clothes and this tunnel?  You know?

OPS_Kerst says:
@ALL: I'm beginning to not have fun anymore.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: Part of the wall falls away from where the FCO was drilling.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Takes a look back at the others, but continues to keep in step with the CIV.:: CIV: Yes..  I know.

CNS_West says:
%SO: Agreed

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::looks up, waits for the dust to clear::

FCO_Svelth says:
%CO: Captain!

CMO_Tae says:
@OPS:  I wasn't having fun in the first place ...

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Points to the opening in the wall::

OPS_Kerst says:
@XO: So we dig now, right?

XO_Hicks says:
@All: Let's get to this wall.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks back the way they  came, and pauses in his tracks.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@XO: Sir, it looks like we're trapped, guess the only way to go is forward.

XO_Hicks says:
@OPS: Right.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Hears a cave in behind her.  Turns and sees the FCO with a drill in his hand::  FCO: Be careful, Ensign!  You will have the entire cave coming down on us!

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Turns and walks to the FCO::

OPS_Kerst says:
@:: turns to wall in front of car, swings pick at it::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::knocks on the wall and listens for any hollow spots::

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The FCO's drill strikes something hard.

FCO_Svelth says:
%CO: Captain... there is something here...

CNS_West says:
%::Stops in tracks at sound of drilling::

Host CO_Valar says:
%FCO: What is it, Ensign?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::pushes the cart away from the wall to give them some room::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Taps the CIV on the shoulder.:: CIV: I think we should pause for a bit. ::Points back to the others.::

TO_Corjet says:
@::checks the wall that just caved in for weaknesses to see if it would cave again...::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::pauses with the CEO:: CEO: What's that?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::feels almost relieved at the thought of a tangible enemy::

OPS_Kerst says:
@::Takes a more forceful swing at wall::

CEO_Corjet says:
%CIV: I think our FCO found something.

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Calls out to the CEO and CIV::  Over here!

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Works the wall some more::  CO: Looks like... metal...  It’s a box!

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Let's try to penetrate this wall.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::running back to the CO::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Quick steps it back to the CO.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%FCO: Can you remove it with the drill?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::follows the crowd to the FCO::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Uses drill to free the box, notices the large lock::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::takes up a shovel and begins tearing at the wall::

CNS_West says:
%::Looking at box in wall::

TO_Corjet says:
@::sighs 'cause she thinks it's okay. Takes a shovel and starts helping everyone dig::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks closer.:: Self: Hmm.  Interesting!

FCO_Svelth says:
%::Pulls box from wall::

XO_Hicks says:
@::Takes a shovel and forcefully jabs it at the wall::

OPS_Kerst says:
@:;Sees CSO using the shovel in the correct manner, changes to follow suit::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%All: I recommend a degree of caution.

CEO_Corjet says:
%FCO: Please be a bit careful there.  Okay?

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Looks at the box::

FCO_Svelth says:
%::smiles wildly::

CTO_Marek says:
@::starts using his shovel::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Stifles a laugh.::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::is perplexed by his crewmate's reactions::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Brushes away the dirt from the lid of the box::

XO_Hicks says:
@::The wall begins to chip and break in one spot::

TO_Corjet says:
@::starts to get a small hole in the wall going::

CIV_Danforth says:
%::looking at the box::

FCO_Svelth says:
%:steps back so the Capt has room::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV/SO: There seems to be some type of inscription on the box.  Take a look.

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Takes a step forward.:: CO:  Maybe I should open it sir.  After all, you’re the Captain.

CNS_West says:
%::puts bucket down, looks at box in COs hand::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: Let's focus our efforts in one point, sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
%::trying hard to read it...on the edge of my memory::

SO_Brehgorn says:
%::looks at the inscription::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks closer at the inscriptions on the box.::

Host CO_Valar says:
%CEO: Hold on.  We do not know what is in the box.  Could be a trap.

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO: Agreed.

CEO_Corjet says:
%CO: My thoughts exactly sir.  Maybe you should step back.

CNS_West says:
%CO: Some of the symbols on the box match the ones on the wall.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: Captain.....

Host CO_Valar says:
%FCO: How heavy is the box, Ensign?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CNS: Indeed...

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Do they?

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: I can read it....

CTO_Marek says:
@::starts hitting the wall at the some point where XO did a breach::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::is beginning to not enjoy his new assignment::  XO: hopefully someone will notice we are missing soon, if they haven't already.  Either that, or the admiral is toying with us ::frowns at the thought::

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Raises an eyebrow at the CIV.:: CIV: Please don’t keep it a secret!

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: It says.....

FCO_Svelth says:
%CO: It is pretty heavy sir.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CIV: Well?!?!?!

Host CO_Valar says:
%CIV: Yes, Lt....do tell.

OPS_Kerst says:
@CSO; If this is the Admiral’s joke, I don't think it is very funny.

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  I don't think the Admiral would to that.

FCO_Svelth says:
%CO: I don't think I could lift it by myself

XO_Hicks says:
@CSO: Well anything is possible.  Let's just keep at it.

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: "Only one shall reap the rewards, only one shall profit...who will that one be?  Does any dare?"

Host Chris says:
ACTION: A small hole is produced in the left tunnel, cool air come streaming through.

Host CO_Valar says:
%FCO: Perhaps it contains whatever the miners were mining.

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: I volunteer, for the safety of my crewmates.

TO_Corjet says:
@::takes a deep breath::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@CMO: It's happened before ::looks down as a hole forms::

TO_Corjet says:
@SELF: Yay! We can breath!

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Thinks about what the CIV has said, wondering what the words can mean.::

TO_Corjet says:
@self: kind of....

OPS_Kerst says:
@::inhales deeply::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::begins shoveling more quickly::

Host CO_Valar says:
%::Listens as Danforth reads the inscription on the box::  CIV: What do you make of that?

FCO_Svelth says:
%CO: Shall I open it sir?

CTO_Marek says:
@All: We must find out what is behind this wall....

Host CO_Valar says:
%FCO: Negative.  Not yet.

TO_Corjet says:
@CTO: I agree

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::takes the shovel and pushes large chunks of dirt out of the way::

CIV_Danforth says:
%CO: I'm not sure, Sir...at least not yet.  Perhaps we will find answers as we walk down the tunnel?

SO_Brehgorn says:
%CO: It is a warning and an invitation...

TO_Corjet says:
@::gets a chill in her spine, and wonders what Randy is doing...::

Host CO_Valar says:
%SO: I was thinking the same thing.  Perhaps we should not open it.

CTO_Marek says:
@::tries to focus his eyes and see through the hole::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::waves a lantern into the darkness to see what is in the hole::

FCO_Svelth says:
%:;looks longingly at the box... a present to be opened::

OPS_Kerst says:
@ALL; I really hate life on planets....

CEO_Corjet says:
%::Looks at the box and considers, then thinks about his wife.::
