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

The crew sat down to their first meal in the newly erected Messhall and made a mess of the place in the process.

Doctor Rudd showed Doctor T'Mar the artifact he found and T'Mar asked CSO T'pucnamushi to compare the glyphs on the device to those he found on the pyramid.  The glyphs are very similar and T'pucnamushi has his science team on the San Carlo on working on the translation.

It is now 0600, the crew is just getting out of their racks for the day…

Time lapse: Overnight…

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Been awake for a half hour, started his rounds of the camp for 15 minutes::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Yawns and rolls over::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Exits his tent and heads to have a frugal breakfast before reassuming duties::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Exits his shelter and heads for the pyramid followed close behind by Dr. Rudd::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Opens her eyes and reaches for a Twinkie::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Sees T'Mar and Rudd, follows discretely::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Spots the CTO and heads to meet him::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> Rudd: According to CSO T'pucnamushi these glyphs match the ones found at the base of the pyramid.  ::Walks at a fast pace::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Gets outta bed, eager to start the day of exploring::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Rudd> T'Mar: Really?  That's fantastic!  Maybe we can find a way into the pyramid.  ::Picks up his pace to keep up with the Vulcan archeologist::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Uses the Klingon skills he learned from his maternal uncle to stalk the two scientists::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Gets dressed and heads out to hopefully get breakfast and be "in" breakfast this time::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Sneaks next to the CTO:.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo> *CSO*: San Carlo to Lieutenant T'pucnamushi, please respond.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Senses, then sees the CO, holds a hand up to keep him back::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Stretches and hops out of bed, checks her gear and trots outside::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*San Carlo*: Lieutenant. Commander T`pucnamushi here

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Stops and frowns::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo Science Team> *CSO*: Good morning, Commander.  Well, we worked through the night and it took a lot of digging into the database but I think we have those translations for you.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*San Carlo*: Tell me you got something of interest

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Gives the CO a polite "quiet" signal::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo Science Team> *CSO*: Okay, the glyphs are not Egyptian as the archeologists assumed.  The glyphs are actually an ancient language from a race of humans called the ancients.  We found several old files from the U.S. Air Force in the early 21st century.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Follows the scientists up to the pyramid::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Hears someone talking and peeks around a tent::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Moves along with the CTO, using all his skills as a former CTO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo Science Team> *CSO*: The files were written by an archeologists named Daniel Jackson who was part of a secret U.S. Military operation called Stargate Command.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*San Carlo*: Fascinatings that is. Continue ::Listening to the San Carlo Science Team::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Sees the CSO and tilts her head:: Self: Nya?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: T'Mar and Rudd find the base of the pyramid where the glyphs are etched into the stones.  They begin studying them, taking holo-images.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Decides to make his presence known, walks up to T'Mar and Rudd:: T'Mar/Rudd: Gentlemen, may I inquire what you are doing?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo Science Team> *CSO*: The glyphs you sent us are in fact the key to opening the pyramid.  I am transferring the files to your portable terminal now, Sir.  ::Taps his console::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::His face loses all expression, clears his throat and stands next to his CTO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Looks up as the CTO approaches:: CTO: We are inspecting the glyphs, what do you think we are doing, Commander?  ::Raises an eyebrow then turns and continues to take holo-images::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Think:: Something is not right here...

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
T'Mar: Doctor, Commander T'pucnamushi and my team have already done the inspection.  If you'd both please step away from the pyramid.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*San Carlo*: Veryings excellentalage workings, team. Ifing you findage anythings more that is of the beings of the interestages, pleaseings to relaying it of the utmosting immediatelyings.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: Masters to T'pucnamushi...

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Blinks at the CSO's strange speech, then grins::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Straightens up his stance and frowns at the CTO and CO:: CTO/CO: I believe your orders are to provide security for this excavation.  Our orders are to inspect the dig sight and surrounding ruins, including this pyramid.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*CTO*: T`pucnamushi here.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar/Rudd: Doctors, if there is something you would like to share with us, we will gladly hear about it. ::Sounds really sardonic::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Heads for the CO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo Science Team> *CSO*: Very well, Commander.  San Carlo, out.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: T'puc, Drs. T'Mar and Rudd are at the pyramid doing something suspicious.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CO: I have nothing to share at this point, Captain and I will not have anything to share unless you keep your security officers out of our way.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Trots after the CSO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
T'Mar: With all due respect, doctor, my team is not going to let you do anything until either the captain... ::Nods to the CO:: or Commander T'pucnamushi give us the authorization to do so.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*CTO*: On my ways. ::Runs for the pyramid, sand flying everywhere from the speed::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar /Rudd: Of course, but as you mention, we are in charge of providing security. ::Looks at the CTO::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Giggles and runs after the CSO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Looks at the CO and glares at the CTO:: CO: Captain, your orders were to provide security.  I am lead archeologist on this dig, not your officers.  I will decide what and when I will inspect anything on this dig sight.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Moments later arrives at pyramid::  T'Mar/Rudd: Whats? What you are being of the doings?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: T'puc, it seems these two are trying to do something with the pyramid.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar/Rudd: Maybe we overreacted... However, I will remember you that a total confident attitude can put you under risk... And that's our area... To provide you security...

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Slides to a stop and falls on her butt in the sand::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Looks down at the CSO:: CSO: Looking at the glyphs, Commander, taking holo-images.  Were you able to translate the glyphs?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Notices the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: What glyphs?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Thinks: And he calls himself a Vulcan:: CO: The glyphs on the pyramid, Captain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: T`pucnamushi and my team noticed a series of hieroglyphics at the base of this pyramid yesterday.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Excited like a "kid in the candy store alone":: T'Mar/Rudd/CO: Yeses. The San Carlo is being of the sending me this informationacals. ::Hands the PADD with the data on it to the CO::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Gets up and pats the sand off of her uniform, then trots over to the CO/CTO::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO/ CTO: ::Bit:: I remember. ::Raises an eyebrow::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CSO: May I see it, Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Grabs the PADD and start reading the report:: CSO: Interesting

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Excited like a "kid in the candy store alone":: T'Mar/Rudd/CO: Very interestings it is. I am of the thinkings that  T'Mar, Rudd and I am should be of the openings of this here pyramids up and see what is of the being inside.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: What is it, T'puc?

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CTO: Pyramids..Glyphs..NOT Egyptianical at all

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Hopping with excitement::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Finishes reading it and passes to the rest of the people:: CSO: Definitively we should try to dig into this misterious construction ::Glances at the pyramid::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: According to the translations, there is a wall on the opposite side of the pyramid that has 12 glyphs on it.  You must press 7 of the 12 glyphs in exact order to open the wall thereby gaining entrance to the pyramid.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CO: Please, Captain, may I see the PADD?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Even more enthusiastic than the CSO:: All: Let's take a look..

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar: But of course, my apologies, Doctor ::Hands the PADD to T'Mar::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*Bailey*: Masters to Bailey, bring Able and Bravo teams to the pyramid, ASAP!

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: See? See? Lookies...lookies..not Egyptianicals...other things...

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Takes the PADD and reads the translation:: All: We must make our way to the other side of the pyramid.  ::Walks off with Rudd close behind::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*CEO*: Bring a couple of your engineering teams down here with heavy- duty tools.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Follows T'Mar and Rudd::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Runs to other side of pyramid, kicking sand everywhere as he goes::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> *CTO*: Acknowledged, Commander.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Salutes:: *CO*:Aye Aye.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Bailey along with Able and Bravo teams make their way to the pyramid.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Looks at the CSO:: All: I never finish surprising myself with our CSO... Anyway, let's move.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Bailey/Able/Bravo: Everyone, phasers on stun.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Already studying pyramid glyphs to find the right sequence::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
*Eng teams* : We need to big tools, guys! Going inside a pyramid!

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Who'd think that little man can move like the Road Runner?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Reaches the other side of the pyramid and studies the wall of glyphs:: CSO: Can you open it, Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ::Nods in acknowledgement and trots to the CSO position::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Takes position near the glyphs, phaser at the ready::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Large crates of tools begin to materialize at the pyramid.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Moves a little aside.. Doesn't want to be caught in one transporter accident and end squished by one crate::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: Not be knowings I am of this, must be absolutelying sureages of right orderings, or who is to be knowings what be of the happenings if we are of the beings wrongings by just the one glyphages.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Stares at the glyphs on the wall:: CSO/Rudd: Fascinating...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Goes back his attention to the scientist work on the wall::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CSO: If you do not establish the correct sequence, I believe nothing will happen, Commander.  The wall just will not open.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Holopic scans the entire sequence of glyphs:: *San Carlo*: Commander T`pucnamushi to San Carlo

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Hops on top of one of the crates, opens it up and begins digging excitedly:: Self: Christmas!

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo> *CSO*: Go ahead, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Hears the CEO's exclamation, then shakes his head::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Please, refrain your ... err.. enthusiasm, Lieutenant.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Pulls out a tool and looks around:: CO: Huh? ::Hops down:: Mai is ready to go!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Lumbers around the corner of the pyramid:: CTO: Able and Bravo teams reporting as ordered, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Bailey: Once the door is opened, Able team will take point.  Bravo will take flank.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Scans the glyph wall with a tricorder::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Sends holopics:: *San Carlo*: Sendings you these here holopics. They are for openings of the pyramids. I need a precise sequentials to open it. Please be findings me the sequence.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Nods his big furry head:: CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves back to the security teams and informs them of their orders::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Looks over at the furry bear and waves::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo> *CSO*: It will take a few minutes to set up, Commander.  Receiving the holo images, now, Sir.  ::Taps the science console::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Waves his big paw at the new CEO::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Smiles and offers Bailey a Twinkie::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Quickly takes the Twinkie from the CEO:: CEO: Thank you!  ::Puts the entire Twinkie in his mouth, paper wrapping an all::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
Bailey: Oh! You need to....nevermind.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Gives a concerned look to the CEO and Bailey::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Looks back at the CEO and Bailey and shakes head::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo> *CSO*: Commander, the computer has completed it's analysis and has come up with 4 possible sequences.  Sending them to you now.  ::Taps his console to transfer the files to the CSO's PADD::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Looks anxious, at least as anxious as a Vulcan can look:: CSO: Well, Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Stares over the CSO's shoulder, trying to see the incoming data on his PADD::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: Heres. We have 4 possibilities. ::Hands off PADD::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CSO: Pick one and try it, Commander.  ::Hands the CSO the PADD::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
*San Carlo*: Can you be of the gettings more precise to findings  the rights one?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<San Carlo> *CSO*: Sorry, Commander.  The computer basically took the glyphs from the holo pics you sent and compared them to the glyphs on the pyramid.  The results are what I sent you.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Overhears the com link::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CSO: Just try the first one, Commander.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Looks at T'Mar like she's lost her mind::  T'Mar: Hearings you nothings that I am of the sayings? If we are of the wrongings, terribles things are to be of the happennings, maybe. I will be of the tryings.

Host SM_Darlene says:

::Looks at the glyphs again:: T'Mar: STOPAGE! Nos. I am be thinkings this one. ::Points to the 4th sequence::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Enters the fourth set of glyphs::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A rumbling sound is heard coming from the ground.  The wall begins to slide up.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Grips his phaser rifle tightly::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Stares at the opening wall:: All: Be careful now.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> ::Quickly moves back as the door raises::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: I guess that was "Open Sesame."

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Stand by.
