Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ST:ACTD Kootenai Station…

The Federation Science vessel USS Astral escorted by the USS San Carlo and crew departed Kootenai Station en route to the Cymyra sector at warp 8.

While en route the San Carlo crew prepared for the upcoming mission and nothing out of the ordinary occurred except for the incident with the new CEO's owl.

The two ships are now on approach to the Cymyra sector…ETA 7 minutes.

Time lapse: Six days…

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO/CTO: Wows, these imagesings. They are seemings to of the beings of expandables undergroundages. If that is of the being the cases, this pyramids is goings to be of the biggerings sizes that we are be thinkings of

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: So this may just be the tip of the proverbial iceberg, right?

Host SM_Darlene says:

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::points the holoimager at the new glyphs and snaps a holoimage::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Digger> ::Screams:: Aggghhh....!!!

CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Why don't you use the San Carlo sensors and tries to make an extensive reading on the pyramid... It would be easier than using a tricorder

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::scratches head:: CTO: Iceybergages... We are beings in the deserts with the beings of the lots ands lots of sandages...there is not being of any iceybergages around these here partings

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Digger> ::Screams:: My foot!

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: It's a figure of speech.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Rudd> ::Rushes over to the digger:: Digger: Hold on, we have a medical doctor...::Shouts:: HELP!  DOCTOR!

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Hears the cries for help:: Self: And it begins.. ::Grabs his kit and motions for two medics to follow him. They begin jogging towards the screams of agony and pain and all that::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
COM: *San Carlos*: This is Lieutenants Commanderings T`pucnamushi. Be of the usings of the Sciencees Stationings sensorages to be of the scannings of the pyramids. I wanna be knowings hows of the biggs this things is of beings.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: No, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: Could we tie the universal translator into the tricorder?

Host SM_Darlene says:
#<San Carlo> *CSO*: Aye, Sir.  Beginning scans...now...  ::Taps the science console and watches as the computer displays an image of the pyramid on the grid::

CO_Capt_Marek says:
<TO_Expendable> ::hears the CSO:: Right... And then, why on Earth made us dig, only to use the sensor after... ::shakes his head::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
MO1: Take care of Him. ::Motions to Rudd::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Kneels down and removes the heavy block, digging out a dermal regenerator from his pocket and turning it on::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Medical Officer 1 moves to Dr. Rudd and begins scanning him with his tricorder.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
TO_Expendable: Becausings, I needs to be of the seeings of the picturages.. The scanages aren't for readings the pictureages...Don't yous be of the knowings of archeologies?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Digger> CMO: My foot!  My foot!  ::Agonizes:: It's broken!

CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: I see…. ::shakes his head again:: Thinks: Darn, I should stop thinking outloud or I will be in trouble!

Host SM_Darlene says:
#<San Carlo> *CSO*: Commander, that pyramid goes down below ground level approximately 75 feet.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
#San Carlos: Thankings you of the very muches.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Nods:: Digger: I know, just give me a second. ::Finishes healing the skin wound, stopping the external bleeding. Takes out a hypospray and injects the digger to relax him and dull the pain. Puts his tools away and empties his pocket looking for his sub dermal repair tools::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: The pyramidings are goings below the groundages 75 footings

CO_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the COM*: CSO: 75 feet down... Hmmm ... Interesting..

Host SM_Darlene says:
#<San Carlo> *CSO*: No problemages!  ::Clasps his hand over his mouth as he realizes what he just said::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: What about the markings, you going to use the universal translator?

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::glares harshly skyward at the San Carlos::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
Self: Ah ha! ::Finds the one he was looking for and begins healing the man's broken bones, using his tricorder to map the repairs::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Medical officer completes treatment on Dr. Rudd.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
Digger: There you go... just go easy on it for today. I suggest some rest. You'll be perfect tomorrow... just try not to have any more disagreements with heavy stones.

CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO/CTO: And most intriguing... Was this building built in this way on purpose...? Or it just got covered by the sand during the years.?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: That's my guess.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CTO: No. I'm goings to be of the doings this the old fashioneds way...like the ancientings did...with bookages.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Rudd> MO1: Thank you.  ::Wipes his brow and walks slowly back to the digger to check his condition::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
<MO1>: ::Nods:: Rudd: Not a problem.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CTO: No usings of the universals translators.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CTO: More of the being fun for mes that ways
