OPS_Kerst says:
#::Slowly wakes up from the sun in his eyes::

CTO_Marek says:
$*CIV*: I think we are going to find many surprises aboard the Erie.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looking over at TO Corjet::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gathers his Engineering teams together to board the Erie and walks over to CO Mitchell:: CO: Engineering team assembled, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Becomes hazy again, leans against the rock for a moment and recovers::

CIV_Danforth says:
*CTO*: I agree.  How are we doing on phasers?

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: Captain Mitchell told me to report here Ma’am.  Any idea what we are to try to do?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Slowly stands, trying not to startle the Small Furry Creature::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Jumps to ground as Kerst’s gets up::

SO_Whoghat says:
::Thinks: Dirt, must have dirt and manure.  I would kill for some manure::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CEO: Very well, Commander, stand by.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Receives the image of dark surroundings, almost like the images are coming from underground or perhaps a cave.  Begins to make out the figure of Kerst again.  Shakes head and returns to normal::

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: And how did you sleep?  Hmm, I don't suppose you know where we can get some breakfast around here?  At least some water would be nice.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Starts moving in and out of Kerst’s feet, looks up as he begins to talk::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Mills around with the engineering team and looks over to CEO Corjet and receives a nod, letting him know to stand by::

CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Checks his equipment and looks around::

CNS_Toni says:
::Shaking her leg with the furry creature still attached:

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: That's what I thought.  Come on, lets see if there's some dew on the plants then we'll head for the structure.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks around for the CTO:: *CTO*: Commander Marek, shouldn't you be on your way back to camp?

CTO_Marek says:
$*CIV*: I think we have it covered.  Hope we don't have to use them once we get to the Erie's Bridge.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks at the fidgeting SO::  SO: You're mostly humanoid.  I'm not going to allow you to have your plant luxuries.  Hopefully we can get you back to full humanoid form soon.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Stands up tall, reaching to get to Kerst’s shoulder::

CTO_Marek says:
$*CO*: I'll be there in three minutes, Sir.  ::Rushes::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Looks over to Corjet and sees him checking his equipment and orders the engineering team to do the same::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks around waiting for the CTO to arrive::

CNS_Toni says:
TO: We are to gather a security team and try and find Kerst.  I suggest we get started.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Assigns a security team to briefly guard the SO the walks over to the CO::  CO: Sir, for the most part I can't really tell what's happening.  Tricorders simply aren't enough, hopefully we can answer more once on board the Erie.

CIV_Danforth says:
*CTO*: I copy, Satok.  I'll tell the Chief.

CEO_Corjet says:
CIV: Yes.  ::Sighs sadly remembering::  I just hope we don’t have to use them, Sir.  ::Nods and waves over to EO Chad::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Looks on underside of plant leaves for dew to drink::

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: agreed.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Commander, do what you can.  Try sedating him.

CTO_Marek says:
$*CIV*: I think you have to assemble a seven-man team.  Add to that my security team it will make a ten-man team.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Sees Corjet call him and gathers the team and heads over to CIV Danforth and CEO Corjet::

CO: Did anyone discover anything new about the vines growing from the crewmembers?

SO_Whoghat says:
::Doesn't care if they don't want him to have plant luxuries... he wants plant luxuries... manure::

CTO_Marek says:
::Finally arrives in base camp:: CO: Reporting to base camp, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Commander Marek believes a 23 second phaser burst set at 5.2 rotations will kill the infection, however I do not know how it would affect an already transformed individual.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Orders the Engineering team into formation behind Corjet:: CEO: Ready, Sir.

SO_Whoghat says:
ALL: Soil.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Drinks the dew from the plants but doesn't quench his thirst, but it does help::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander Danforth and Commander Corjet have the security and engineering teams ready to go.  Please board the Erie and secure the ship.  Keep an open COM.

CNS_Toni says:
TO: Get your team together and meet me by that clearing.  ::Pointing in direction:: I will see the CMO first.

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Whips around and hears the SO and goes over to him::  SO: Can you understand me?

CO: Aye, Sir.  Do I have authorization to fire at the creatures, I mean, if this becomes necessary?

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Gurgles in Kerst’s ear:: rrrrggghh

TO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the designated area and signals to the sec team just as they come into view to follow her::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Stun only, Mr. Marek.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Satok, should we split up and take the ship, level by level or should we go as one big team?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Understood, Captain.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Lifts wetted finger towards Small Furry Creature:: Small Furry Creature: Here, pup, would you like some water?

CNS_Toni says:

::Looks up at Toni as she approaches::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Flicks out tongue towards the finger, licks off the water::

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees CIV approaching with the rest of the team:: CIV: I think that splitting is better. Take five men and I'll lead the rest.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Turns to the CO::  CO: Acknowledged, Sir, I'll check that and Sir, the SO is communicating with me.

CNS_Toni says:
CMO: It appears the only to way get this lovely creature to detach itself is to sedate it, would you mind?  ::Pointing to her leg::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Listens and waits::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Likes it and begins licking the finger::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
    ::Raises an eyebrow::  CSO: Communicating?
 
SO_Whoghat says:
CSO: Give me soil.

CMO_Tae says:
CNS: You can't just pick it up?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sees the XO approaching::  XO: Lead the teams to the Erie.  Open COM, regular reports.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Smiles:: Small Furry Creature: well pup, are we ready to head out. I hope we can find supplies and answers at that structure.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
SO: Do you know what's happening?  ::Tries not to go too fast::  Do you know who you are?

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The ground beneath the CSO and SO opens up and swallows them.  The hole is quickly closed again.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander Hicks is in charge.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I'll proceed to the Bridge. Please lead your team to check the rest of the ship.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

SO_Whoghat says:
::Ignores the question as they get sucked in:: CSO: Ahhhh... soil.

CNS_Toni says:
CMO: I can but it will follow me and I don't need that kind of company right now.  Take care of it for me will you?

XO_Hicks says:
All: Let's get to the Erie.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Begins walking towards the structure in the distance::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Feels something give way, looks down and sees nothing, screams out and falls::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Gets comfortable on the shoulder::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Sir, what do you think about making two teams?  CIV and I concluded that it would be safer.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Likes soil::

CMO_Tae says:
::Reaches over to pick up the small furry creature::  CNS: I might be able to just keep it here with me.  If it follows you, then I'll sedate it.  I don't know the effects of the drugs on these creatures though.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks around after hearing the CSO scream and does not see him or the SO::

TO_Corjet says:
::Fills the sec team in on their mission objective::

XO_Hicks says:
CTO: Stand by, Commander.

CNS_Toni says:
CMO: Ok thanks, just be kind to my little friend, there may be more of a connection to this than we think it is.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Lies unconscious with minor bleeding::

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: well, if all goes well it looks like we'll reach the structure in 30 - 45 minutes.

CNS_Toni says:
::Walks quickly over to the clearing where TO Corjet awaits::

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Yes, two teams might be better.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks to where the CSO was standing and runs a tricorder over the area.  Notices the ground is somewhat soft and stands back a bit::

CMO_Tae says:
::Gently pries the ball of fur off of Toni's leg and strokes it::

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Digs his roots in once he lands::

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods at Toni:: CNS: Whenever you're ready Ma’am.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#OPS: Rrrgggh.

XO_Hicks says:
CIV/CTO: Very well, Danforth you're with me.  Marek, you're with CEO.

CTO_Marek says:
::Walks along the XO and the CIV::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Whispers to EO Chad letting him in on what’s going on::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Laughs::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CNS: Get going, Commander, keep and open COM and I want regular reports.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Aye, I'm with Marek.

CNS_Toni says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Places hand on her phaser in holster and turns to walk::  TO: Let's go.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Rolls over, bumps into a hard rock wall and opens eyes::

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: ::Nods to CEO:: Aye, Sir. 

CMO_Tae says:
::Sits down on the grass, putting the small ball of fur in her lap, trying to keep it content::

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Hicks says:
CTO/CEO: You two secure Main Engineering and Danforth and I will go to the Bridge.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Soil is good.  I enjoy soil.

TO_Corjet says:
CNS: which direction was Kerst last seen going Ma’am?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gathers his engineering team behind him and stands next to Marek:: XO: Aye, Sir, secure Main Engineering.  ::Looks to Marek::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Slides tricorder into her belt and calls to a few crewmembers to help her dig.  Begins digging::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Lets out a low groan, hears the SO and tries to get up::

Host Action_Guy says:
ACTION: As the Kerst makes his way to the structures the sun can be seen reflecting off of one of the structures.

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO: You got my back, Sir?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Racking slide on type I phaser::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Agreed, Sir. 

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Her stomach emits a long, low rumbling sound::

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: Hmm, it reflects the sun.  That should mean we kind find shelter there.  I hope we find some answers too.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: I want sun.  Return the sun to me.

XO_Hicks says:
$CTO: Can we beam aboard ship?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Balances self against a nearby wall, feels something wet against his head, find it to be his own blood::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Wipes blood against his sleeve and stumbles over to the SO::

CTO_Marek says:
$XO: In theory, Sir. We can use the same procedure that CEO used to land the ship. We might try, but it'll be risky, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
XO/CTO/CEO: Time to rock n roll.

CMO_Tae says:
::Gently pets the ball of fur sitting in her lap::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Grabs his toolkit and gets ready to board the ship::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Continues on towards the structure::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The CSO and SO end up in a murky cave. The SO looks "whole” again.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Are all your men armed?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Continues to dig around where the CSO and SO disappeared::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Leans down next to the SO::  SO: Are you okay?  ::Looks him over, notices he seems to be humanoid again::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Checks his phaser and tricorder::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods:: CTO: Aye, Sir, they are.

XO_Hicks says:
$CTO: Actually, let's walk up the landing ramp.  When aboard, try to get to your position and secure it. ::Checks phaser::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Yes.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Pauses as some of the structures start to reveal themselves to be ships:: Small Furry Creature: Umm, this does not look good.  ::Gets a good grip on his phaser::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Fine. XO: Understood, Sir. ::To his team:: Security Team: On the move, Gentlemen!

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Regains his composure and looks around, looks down at his equipment and tests it out::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Tightens up tail as she feels Kerst grab his phaser::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: How far did we fall?

XO_Hicks says:
$Erie Team:  Let's move.  ::Walks up the landing ramp.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks up at the CMO holding the ball of fur:: CMO: I can use your assistance here, Doctor.  ::Continues to dig::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Begins scans of the area, tries to get a map reading::  SO: I don't know for sure, can you walk?

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Follows the XO up the ramp::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Is it possible to do a massive scan of the Erie, using our tricorders, before boarding it?

CEO_Corjet says:
$EO Chad: You remain here.  I'll take charge of the team. ::Follows the XO, CTO::

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Digs his legs out of the soil and brushes them off:: CSO: Yeah.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Pauses::

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks over at the CO digging and walks over, being careful with Toni's ball o' fur::  CO: What are you looking for, Captain?

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Yes, it is. ::Activates his tricorder and starts scanning the Erie:: It’s just that in some places, like Main Engineering, where the radiation is at high levels the readings won’t be as reliable.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Hangs on as Kerst’s stops, looks around::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CMO: The CSO and SO were swallowed up by the soil.  I am attempting to dig them out, I detected their bio signatures and they are still alive.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Looks up, tries shouting::  All: Hello?!  Can anyone hear me?!  ::Taps COM badge::  *All*: Pavielion to anybody, is anyone receiving me?

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#OPS: Rrrggggh?

OPS_Kerst says:
#COM: CO: Kerst to Mitchell, come in.

XO_Hicks says:
$::Enters the nearest turbolift with Danforth:: Deck 1.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: They won't be able to hear you.

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: He was last said to have beamed aboard the ship.

CMO_Tae says:
CO: Ahh, what do you want me to do with this, Sir?  ::Holds up the creature::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Fine, I only want to early detect any life form or strange signature.  I think that would be enough.

OPS_Kerst says:
#COM ALL: Kerst to Anybody, come in.

CIV_Danforth says:
$Security Team: When we get to the Bridge, remember formation Alpha 3.

TO_Corjet says:
%::Frowns slightly:: CNS: is there anyway for us to beam aboard?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: We have to try, see if yours works.

CIV_Danforth says:
$<Security Team> CIV: Aye, Sir.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Swats at Kerst’s hand as he activates his communicator::

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: But since he cannot be contacted on the Erie we think he has been transported back to the surface.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Frowns and resumes heading for salvage yard::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CMO: Put that creature down, Doctor and start digging, please.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods as he enters the turbolift:: Main Engineering.  ::Watches his tricorder as he scans in the direction of Main Engineering::

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: what aren't you telling me?

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: We're all ready, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Yes, I am not detecting anything as of yet, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: So far, so good.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Shrugs and taps his COM badge gently:: *ALL*: Ensign Whoghat to anyone.

CIV_Danforth says:
$::Phaser held in hand::

TO_Corjet says:
%CNS: Really? I was unaware that on the surface we had lost communication with our COM badges.

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: I will keep trying to locate his COM signal.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Tries to see if the Erie is in amongst the other ships::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Sees turbolift doors opening:: CEO: Extreme caution from now on, Commander.  ::Steps out::

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: Looks clear to me, Commander.  ::Exits the turbolift and enters the Bridge, scanning the area with his phaser::

TO_Corjet says:
%CNS: But in light of this, I suppose it doesn't matter which way we go so, would you care to pick a direction to walk in?

CMO_Tae says:
::Sighs and gently puts the ball of fur on the ground and helps the CO dig::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Notices the SO shrug, is reminded of why he disapproves of him, and conceals it for now::

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Yes, I know.  ::Steps out and starts moving towards Main Engineering::

CNS_Toni says:
%::Taps COM badge::

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Aye, Sir, me too but we should be extra careful.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Gets up and walks around a bit but not much::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Scans the area:: Security Team:: Two men to the right, the rest with the CEO and me to the left.  Move!

CIV_Danforth says:
$Security Team: You two go and scout the far side of the Bridge.

CTO_Marek says:
$<Security Team> CIV: Aye, Sir!.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Finishes scanning, turns the tricorder on the COM badge::  SO: They must be damaged, these walls don't seem to have any metals which interfere with our COM badges.

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: Agreed.  I'm going to the Ready Room.  Have some men secure the Briefing Room as well.

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: Well, let's go North of here.

CTO_Marek says:
$::Stand in front of ME door:: CEO: Here we, go. ::Enters with phaser in hand::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Takes COM badge off and uses it to dig an arrow and a large message in the dirt, pointing out their direction and saying that they are okay::

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: Let’s head towards that one, it reminds me of the Erie.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Enters Main Engineering behind the CTO and quickly moves to his office as he directs his engineering team to take up their stations to perform a complete systems check::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: I doubt they're damaged.  It's something else.  ::Wanders a bit further off::

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Hicks says:
$::Enters the Captain's Ready Room::

CTO_Marek says:
$XO: We are in Main Engineering, Sir.  Everything seems normal up to now, at least,

TO_Corjet says:
%::Nods and takes out her tricorder, starting to walk north.  As an offhand thought she says:: CNS: Have you a tricorder?  Security Team: Anyone with tricorders, please take them out and set them to scan for lifesigns.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: Please stay close, if this planet can swallow just two of us once, it can swallow one of us again and leave us alone.

CIV_Danforth says:
$Security Officer Bones: Bones, power up the science station with your tricorder.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Getting weary of digging but presses on::

Host Action_Guy says:
ACTION: The Erie transforms, walls go up all over the place, doors appear in other places and it no longer looks like a Starfleet vessel.

CMO_Tae says:
::Pushes her sleeves up and keeps digging with the CO::

CIV_Danforth says:
$Security Officer Terry: Terry, come with me to the Briefing room.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: I think it may be wise to explore, don't you? ::Stops for a moment:: Perhaps we could find a way out.

CTO_Marek says:
$::Sees the ship transforming:: Self: What the ...?

CIV_Danforth says:
$::Feels a bit dizzy::

XO_Hicks says:
$*CTO*: Acknowledged, report anything out of the ordinary to me immediately.

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Sir, are you there?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Continues heading for the ship that reminds him of the Erie, but does look at the other ships::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Starts a level one diagnostic on the ships systems after checking his command code access to the main computer:: Engineers:  Ready for level one?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: We will explore, but we must stay close together.  There are only two of us and if there's danger there is safety in numbers.  ::Puts COM badge back on and walks over to the SO::

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: Yes, my tricorder is showing life signs just ahead.

TO_Corjet says:
%<Security Team>  ::A few in the team pull out tricorders and set them as they were told::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: How close together?

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO/Team: Let's get out of here now!  *XO*: We are leaving.  I don't know what’s going on, but we are leaving, Sir.

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: I'm here, but I'm behind a wall.  This doesn't look like the Erie anymore.

TO_Corjet says:
%CNS: All right, then lets go.  ::Quickens her pace slightly::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Snuggles closer to OPS, letting her tail hang lose, slowly flicking it against Kerst’s chest::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Frowns::  SO: We must hold hands.  ::Is being sarcastic::

CTO_Marek says:

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks over to Marek:: CTO: What?  ::Waves his engineers over towards the door, getting them ready to exit::

XO_Hicks says:
$*CTO*: If you can, get out of here, Danforth and I will find a way out also.

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: And which one do you like?

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Let's triangulate coordinates.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The walls open up onto a room and the CSO and SO see theater seating and a large screen.

CTO_Marek says:
$::Starts to look for a way out with his phaser::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Quickly leaves Main Engineering with Marek:: CTO: What’s going on?

Host Action_Guy says:
ACTION: There is no exit on the ship.  It seems to be a large maze.

CTO_Marek says:
$*XO*: Aye, Sir. 

CIV_Danforth says:
$*CTO*: Are you there, Satok?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Hears a rumbling and turns to see what it is::

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: I'm linking my tricorder to yours.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Fair enough.  ::Walks towards the seats as they appear::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: I don't know, but we must to get out of here if we want to find out!

CTO_Marek says:
$*CIV*: Danforth?

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Not sure what Kerst’s is saying, but looks at one of the ships::

CEO_Corjet says:

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands up and sighs::  All: It's no use, we will never dig them out.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Of course, sorry about that, I got excited.

CIV_Danforth says:

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: I think we should go this way.  ::Points to what seems to be a way out::

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Wonders when he can sit down::

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Are we linked to the other away team?

CMO_Tae says:
::Brushes her hands off and wipes them on the grass::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CMO: We will have to wait for a report from the Erie team.  We may be able to utilize the ship's transporters to lock onto the CSO and SO and beam them out from wherever they are.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: We shouldn't take any turbolift.  We must find another exit, like a Jeffrey's tube.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Sighs and follows Marek:: CTO: This doesn't look right.  ::Touches the bulkhead and sighs:: This isn't a Federation designed ship, Sir!

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: I'm picking up Marek's tricorder, but we must find a way to get out of here before trying to find the other team.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Waits::

CMO_Tae says:
::Pulls her sleeves back down and looks for Toni's furry creature::

$CEO: Yes and this is certainly no good for us!

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Let's both scan for malleable points in the walls.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: Well, it seems normal and if there is a higher power they obviously already have us.  ::Thinks it over::  Let's check it out.

CIV_Danforth says:
$::Begins scanning the walls in the approximate direction of the XO::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: A film begins to flicker on the screen in front of the SO and CSO.

CEO_Corjet says:
$ CTO: No it isn’t, Sir.  ::Looks around and then grabs his tricorder and starts scanning for a way out:: Scanning for a possible way out.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Great!  ::Nearly jumps in with alacrity::

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: Good idea, I'm moving toward you now.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Taps COM badge:: *CNS*: Report, Commander.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Takes a seat somewhere towards the middle-back::

TO_Corjet says:
%::The two of them start to see a bit of a path, they follow it and eventually it veers right.  As the tricorder disagrees they leave it and go straight.  In a moment they see some sort of heaps.  When the get closer they can see a salvage yard::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Realizes that the corridor is a dead end:: CEO: What now, any suggestions?  ::Sighs::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Is startled by the sudden change in surrounding, looks over toward the screen and also notices the SO jump ahead::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO*: Report, Commander.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Stops in front of one of the ships:: Small Furry Creature: Hey, this is one of the missing ships!

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Is it possible to blow this wall with our phasers?

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: If it's down here.  ::Starts running towards the ship that reminded him of the Erie::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Feels Kerst’s excitement:: OPS: Rrrrggh?

CNS_Toni says:
%CO: We have just reached a clearing where there seem to be a salvage yard and are headed toward it.

CTO_Marek says:
$::Starts to set his phaser::

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Grasps on as Kerst starts running::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: This looks like a 20th/21st century movie theater, Earth, I believe.

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: You can try but I'm not sure if it will work.  Maybe a low setting first?

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: A black and white film with sub-titles stutters on the screen.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO*: Sir, we are not aboard the Erie.  Somehow this vessel has transformed into some sort of labyrinth.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CNS*: Very well, Commander, keep me informed.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO*: Repeat, Commander!  Your transmission is breaking up!

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Yes, I never thought I'd see one of these.  It's amazing.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Tries to lighten the mood::  SO: And not even with voices or in color.

CNS_Toni says:
%CO: Acknowledged, Sir.

SO_Whoghat says:
::Nods:: CSO: This must be one of the really old ones.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO*: Sir, can you here me?  Your signal is degrading!

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: I'll try.  ::To the security team:: Security Team: You two, set your phasers at half range.  Fire on my command at the wall.  ::Points the wall:: 

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Walks around the theater and examines it::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Continues running::

CTO_Marek says:
$Security Team: Now!!! ::Fires phaser::

TO_Corjet says:
%::Looks around curiously, half expecting to see Kerst there::

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: I can sense your presence on the tricorder but can't see a weakness in the walls.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Wishes he had some popcorn::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Becomes a tad frustrated with the bad COM signal:: *XO*: Mitchell to Hicks, please respond!

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: Let's go in and look around.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Growls in imitation as Kerst keeps running::

TO_Corjet says:
%::Nods::

CTO_Marek says:
$Security Team: Cease-fire!  It seems to be useless.  CEO: I think we should find another way out.

XO_Hicks says:
$::Hears a faint COM signal, but can't make it out.  *CO*: Captain?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Reaches the ship that reminded him of the Erie::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Becomes very irritated::

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks around and sighs when she can't find Toni's fur ball.  Figures it followed the CNS::

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: I am not finding a weakness either.  Try to blow a hole through it with your phaser.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: For now I can't see anything of use.  I suppose if you want to observe the picture it's fine, just look for anything of use or clues while watching.

CNS_Toni says:
%::Begins to climb through rubble of metal::

CTO_Marek says:
$XO/CIV: We are moving back to our original position, Sir.  We have encountered a dead end corridor, so we'll try another way.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Shakes his head and scans the wall, trying to find out its composition::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Of course, Sir.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The film suddenly changes and loud sounds boom as a car race ensues on the screen.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Extremely frustrated::  CMO: We've lost contact with the Erie team.

CNS_Toni says:
%::Scanning the rubble for life signs::

SO_Whoghat says:
@Self: Oh, automobiles of old!

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Pulls out his laser cutter and activates it then tries to cut a hole in the wall::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Cringes and plugs his ears as the theater is filled with noise several decibels above safe range::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Reads name on side of hull:: Small Furry Creature: USS, err, can't make it out, but it's a Federation ship, Intrepid class, looks like a good place to start. Now lets get inside.  Hmm, there should be an access door in the upper landing strut bay.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks over at the CO::  CO: I could try telepathy if you want me to, Sir.  But it would only be one-way.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Sorry, Commander, I don't think we have time to make further analysis. Our priority is to leave this ship as fast as we can.  We should look for another escape.

TO_Corjet says:
%::Follows Toni not really sure why this would be here or even if she trusts the fact that it's real::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Gets notified that the wall is living matter and drops the laser cutter:: CTO: Its alive!!!! ::Picks up the laser cutter and deactivates it::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Begins climbing landing strut to reach the access door::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: What? ::Moves back to the CEO:: 

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Nuzzles nose in Kerst’s neck, hangs on tighter::

CNS_Toni says:
%::Looks at Tricorder::

CEO_Corjet says:
$Ship: Sorry.  ::Tears fall:: Sorry, we're just trying to get out.  ::Steps back from the wall and bumps into the other wall.  Then quickly turns around::   Sorry!

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Leans back in his chair::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: Let's make sure to keep track of what we see.  Maybe these films will give us clues-first an old film with no color, then a car film.

CTO_Marek says:
$XO: I think Commander Corjet has found something interesting, Sir.  This ship seems to be alive!

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: The wall is living matter.  This whole ship seems to be some type of creature or... ::Looks Marek directly in the eye:: its alive.

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Perhaps there may be something in the content.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Oh, darn and we shot at her and now she is angry. 

CNS_Toni says:
%::Looks up suddenly at structure that looks like a::

CTO_Marek says:
$*XO*: Are you there, Sir?

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Puts his head down in shame and anguish:: CTO: Yes, we did.  ::Looks up at the wall::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: Color bursts from the screen as a scene from "Flubber" comes on and to the left the CSO and SO see a snack bar open.

CEO_Corjet says:
$Ship: We didn't know!

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Reaches landing strut bay and the access door::

CTO_Marek says:
$Security Team: Stay put!  Don't even breathe!

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: ::Pointing::  Doesn't that structure look like what's left of a Starship?

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Hey!  A snack bar!  Do you want anything?

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: Hmm.....maybe some being is fascinated with humanoid civilization and are trying to recreate it.  ::Tries to think of more::  Or perhaps they accidentally damaged our ship and are trying to make us feel at home here because it feels bad.  ::Doesn't know if he fully believes these ideas yet::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Paces around the camp, trying to think of the next move.  Thinks: Communications lost with the Erie teams, the CSO and SO have disappeared into the ground and Kerst is still missing::

CTO_Marek says:
$<Security Team> ::Nods::

XO_Hicks says:
$*CTO*: Understood, Marek, scan for our position.

TO_Corjet says:
%::Squints slightly:: CNS: Yes, it does.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Tries to open the access door to gain entry into the ship::

TO_Corjet says:
%::Starts heading for it::

CTO_Marek says:
$XO: Aye, Sir.

Host Action_Guy says:
ACTION: As Kerst touches the ship an access panel falls off.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Tries his COM badge:: *CO/XO*: Corjet here, Sir, the ship is made out of living matter.  ::Wonders if the communication is getting out::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Scans and locates the other team:: *XO*: I got you, Sir. Should we go there?  ::Shows the CEO the other team’s position::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: These movies seem like they're from Earth.  Even if some civilization did create similar theatres, it would be impossible to play these movies without at least knowing about us.

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: Well, I guess we found a way in.  ::Grips phaser as he peers inside::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Looks over at the snack bar, walks over to see if anyone is there::

CNS_Toni says:
%::Looks around and sees a fur ball rolling around the structures::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CMO: I do not see the advantage in doing that, Doctor.  I need to know from THEM what is going on.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Stands tall and tries to see inside::

SO_Whoghat says:
@CSO: Has this planet always been uninhabited?

XO_Hicks says:
$*CTO*: Negative.  Find a way out of here.

CNS_Toni says:
%::Looks at tricorder and sees movement::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Hears static on the COM::  *CEO*: Repeat, Commander, your transmission is breaking up!

CTO_Marek says:
$*XO*: Aye, Sir. CEO: We must go, Commander.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@SO: I believe it used to be but the civilization disappeared and can't be found.

CMO_Tae says:
::Considers pointing out that telepathy does that, but doesn't::  CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
#Small Furry Creature: Ready to go inside?  I just hope something still works on it.

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Let's find a way to get out of here.

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Sees a cute girl:: CSO: You go ahead and watch the movie.  I'll get some snacks.

CEO_Corjet says:
$*CO*: The ship is made out of living matter, Sir.  ::Waits a moment as he follows Marek:: The ship is made out of living matter.  ::Waves his engineering team to follow close behind::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Commander, grab your tools and hurry up, please.

TO_Corjet says:
%::Sees Toni watching something.  She peers at it:: CNS: What is it, Ma’am?

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Right behind you!

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: My tricorder just indicated movement near this structure.  Let’s go in that direction.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Carefully enters ship looking to find a main corridor::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Sees a person at the bar, goes over to her::  Girl: Hello, I am Lieutenant Commander Pavielion from the Federation Starship USS Erie.  This is Ensign Whoghat.  We mean you no harm.  ::Wonders if she is real::

CIV_Danforth says:
$*CTO*: Satok, have you found a way out?

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: Agreed.

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Let's try to find the turbolift position.  Maybe it might be an exit.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Hears "Living" in the COM from the CEO but can't fill in the rest:: *CEO*: Repeat, Commander!  I cannot make out your transmission.  There is an enormous amount of interference!

CTO_Marek says:
$CIV: Still working on it.  We are going back to our original position.

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Aye. ::Taps at his COM badge again::

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO/CTO: Maybe if we can link our tricorders we can boost the power to transmit a message out to the Captain.

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Scans the area with the tricorder::  Girl: Can you understand me?

TO_Corjet says:
%::Nods and follows Toni's directions::

SO_Whoghat says:
@::Sighs and reluctantly goes back to the movie::

CTO_Marek says:
$::Hears the CO’s weak signal:: *CO*:  ::Shouting::  We are dealing with a living being, Sir!!!!

CEO_Corjet says:
$*CO*: The ship is made out of living matter, Sir!

CSO_Pavielion says:
@::Wonders if the UL is functioning::

SO_Whoghat says:
@Self: Liquid Flubber!  Fascinating.

CNS_Toni says:
%TO: Here, there is some sort of opening.  ::Pointing::

XO_Hicks says:
$CIV: Or our tricorders may boost our COM signal.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Makes out "Living Matter" in the second COM and paces, thinking: Living matter, living matter, hmmm.....the ship is living matter?::

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: Here!  I think I found a way out but there's a wall blocking it.  We must try to open a hole.

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Exactly.

Host Action_Guy says:
ACTION: The ship Kerst is in is dark the floor panels are weak and noisy.

TO_Corjet says:
%::Sees it:: CNS: I suggest you let me go first, Ma’am.  ::Enters the hole::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Bumps head:: Small Furry Creature: OUCH!

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: How?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stops pacing::  *CEO*: The ship is living matter?  Can you get out?  I repeat, Can-You-Get-Out?

CIV_Danforth says:
$XO: Either this isn't our ship or somehow the bio gel packs in the ship have come alive.

Small_Furry_Creature says:
#::Reaches up and rubs Kerst’s head::

CSO_Pavielion says:
@Girl: We are from the United Federation Of Planets.  May I ask who you are?  ::Tries to be gentle::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The screen in front of the CSO and SO suddenly explodes!

CTO_Marek says:
$CEO: This is a living creature, isn't it?  Perhaps we can try stimulating its flesh with a discharge?  ::Raises an eyebrow::
