Host Brc64-AGM says:
The U.S.S. Cutlass has been sent to investigate the planet Hecktoria IV, which shows signs of primitive civilization, but no signs of life.  An AT has just entered one of the temples on the surface, unaware of what is ahead of them.

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<---------- Resume Mission - 9909.08 ------------>

XO_Cain says:
::still checking scanners for AT, 10 minutes until check in point::

MO_Archer says:

CSO_Temal says:
@All: let's report to the Cutlass

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  Agreed.

CSO_Temal says:
@::grabs torches on way toward surface::

CSO_Temal says:
@CMO: grab some torches on our way back

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  Report Ensign.

CNS_Toni says:
@Stepping out of temple::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: steps out of temple ::

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: sir, we found several structures on the surface of the planet, we entered one of the temples to find it leads underground

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: we also found strange hyrogliphs on the walls

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  Could you decifer them?

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: not enough light, I wish to re-enter and look at them again

CSO_Temal says:
@CMO: prepare to light the torches

CMO_Tae says:
@:: sets her phaser ::

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  Stand by.

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: orders sir?

CMO_Tae says:
@:: checks torches to make sure they're dry ::

XO_Cain says:
*MO*  Ensign Archer, report to TR 1 to join the away team.

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: with all this darkness and tunnels I don't know what to expect. Could you send down a security team, sir?

MO_Archer says:
*XO*:yes sir

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  Torches ready sir.

CNS_Toni says:
@::Lighting a tourch, steps back toward opening::

MO_Archer says:
::heads for TR1::

CSO_Temal says:
@CNS: hold on, not yet

CNS_Toni says:
@CSO: Aye sir

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  I am sending Ensign Archer down to join you.  You may need the additional help.  I want you to have someone report back within an hour if possible.  Also, try to decifer those gliphics.

MO_Archer says:
::enters TR and steps onto transporter::

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cutlass: XO: acknowledged

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  I will also send a security team if you feel it may be necessary.

CSO_Temal says:
@::re-scans temple with tricorder::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  Archer beams down to the planet's surface, shortly before a small team of security officers appear.

CMO_Tae says:
@MO:  Welcome to this planet Ensign.

CSO_Temal says:
@Team: glad you could join us, now let's get going

XO_Cain says:
*Temal* Leave one security officer at the enterance.

MO_Archer says:
@::looks around for the others::

CSO_Temal says:
@COM: Cuttlass: XO: aye sir

XO_Cain says:
*Temal*  Good luck Ensign.

CSO_Temal says:
@All: let's go, CMO: pass out torches

CSO_Temal says:
@Security Officer: stay here

CMO_Tae says:
@:: passes out the torches ::

CSO_Temal says:
@::takes torch and enters temple::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: follows the AT as they enter the temple ::

CNS_Toni says:
@::Steps cautiously into temple opening::

MO_Archer says:
::takes a torch::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  As the Away Team enters the temple, this time with light, they see a large crystal in the center of the room, reflecting the light from the torches.

CSO_Temal says:
@::sets tricorder to emmit low level tachyon pules to leave a trail of bread crums::

CSO_Temal says:
@::in awe::

CSO_Temal says:
@AT: passive scans only

CNS_Toni says:
@::Looking intently at crystal::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
SCENERY:  The temple looks like a place of worship.  The glyphs on the wall all seem to relate to the giant crystal in the center of the room.

CSO_Temal says:
@::walks around crystal, scans::

XO_Cain says:
::feeling more confident about ATs mission knowing there are security officers with them::

CSO_Temal says:
@CMO: you study the crystal  CNS: you're with me  Security: secure the area

CNS_Toni says:
@:: turns to look more at the walls strange prints::

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  Aye sir.

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@CSO:  Right away, sir.

CNS_Toni says:
@CSO:aye sir

CSO_Temal says:
@::takes copy of hyrogliphs in tricorder banks::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: walks around the crystal looking at it intently ::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::motions to the remaining security team to stand guard in various areas of the room::

CSO_Temal says:
@::walks up to gliphs::

CNS_Toni says:
@CSO: are you getting and meaning to what the Hyrogliphs are saying?

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::walks around the room, looking at the pictures on the walls::

CSO_Temal says:
@CNS: fascinating, I'm seeing if it relates to Egpytian hyrogliphs from early Earth

FCOHicks says:
@::FCO beams down to the planet and rejoins the AT::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: walks closer to the crystal ::

FCOHicks says:
@::Walking to the CSO::

CSO_Temal says:
@CMO, FCO, CNS: come here

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: welcome back

CMO_Tae says:
@:: walks over to CSO ::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::touches an area of the wall that appears to be sticking out a bit::

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:Temal, what have we got?

CSO_Temal says:
@All: from what I can tell it appear as if the inhabitants of this planet worshipped this crystal in godlike manner

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  A long-handled ax swings down from the ceiling and barely misses the CSO.

CSO_Temal says:
@::ducks::  Security: what the!!!!!!!!!!

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::quickly moves away from the wall, acting as if he didn't touch a thing::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: don't move!!!

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  Are you okay sir?

CSO_Temal says:
@::feels heart rate quicken::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@CSO:  What happened, sir?  Are you okay?

CNS_Toni says:
@::CSO: there is you first booby trap

CSO_Temal says:
@::scans ax and ceiling::

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:  Temal, what were you doing before that happened?

CSO_Temal says:
@Security: where were you just now???

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks over at SEC ::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: did anyone touch anything?

CNS_Toni says:
@::Standing in middle of floor looking around :

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@CSO:  Sir?  I was just looking at these glyphs..  ::touches the area on the wall again, then sees the ax swing down again, closer to Temal this time, but not close enough::

CSO_Temal says:
@::goes over to where Bubba was, looks for button::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: as I suspected, this place is boobie trapped, don't touch anything

MO_Archer says:
@::standing still::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::puts his hands in his pockets::

CNS_Toni says:
@::Turning head from side to side:

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: sir, it would appear these people went to great lengths to protect their god

CSO_Temal says:
@::looks at crystal::  Self: hmmmmmmm

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks at the crystal ::

FCOHicks says:
@CSO: Agreed, I think extreme care is in order.

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: we need to send someone to report-I suggest Bubba

XO_Cain says:
::initiates some routine diagnostics on the sensor array to keep busy::

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:  Good choice, make it happen.

CSO_Temal says:
@::strange, scans crystal again::  FCO: sir?? the crstal doesn't register on my tricorder

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::looks down in shame, then heads back outside to report::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks at CSO ::

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: the crystal might not even be there

CMO_Tae says:
@FCO:  Could it be a hologram?

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: what about leaving this room, and sending in a robotic device to scan, touch, or whatever else to the crystal

MO_Archer says:
@CMO: shall I scan CSO to check his vital signs after that scare?

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: the entire room might explode when the crystal is touched

CMO_Tae says:
@MO:  He's fine, but good question anyway.

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::exits the Temple::  COM: Cutlass: This is Security Officer Bubba reporting, sir.  The temple seems to contain a large crystal, which appears to be protected by some booby traps.  I accidentally set one off..

FCOHicks says:
@All:  I suggest we all leave and send a robotic probe.  Since we can't get any readings, we all may be getting bombarded with radiation or anything.

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba* Is anyone hurt?

CMO_Tae says:
@:: nods ::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@COM: Cutlass: Nobody was hurt when I left.

MO_Archer says:
@::nods::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::leans on the side of the Temple, not believe what just happened::

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba*  Thank you for the report.  Good job.  Return to the away team, they need your protection.

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::gets up from his spot and hears a strange noise::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  A large stone moves to block the only entrance/exit to the temple.

CSO_Temal says:
@Security: go to the surface, ask for a robotic probe, and also have the Cutlass download this tricorder, it contains the hyrogliphs

FCOHicks says:
@All:  Let's move, everyone back to the ship.

CMO_Tae says:
@:: walks towards the entrance ::

CSO_Temal says:
@::heads for exit::  All: watch your step!

CNS_Toni says:
@Stepping toward entrance , only to see stone blocking the way:

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba*  Did you acknowledge my last message Bubba?

CMO_Tae says:
@Self:  This is NOT good...

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::takes a few steps back, jaw open in disbelief::

CNS_Toni says:
@self:: Now what?

CMO_Tae says:
@:: pulls out her phaser and shoots at the rock ::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@COM: Cutlass:  Sir, umm, I think I may have accidentally locked the away team in the temple..

FCOHicks says:
@::Sees the blocked entrance::  All: This is not good.

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba*  Say again.

CSO_Temal says:
@*Bubba*: can you read us?

FCOHicks says:
@*Bubba*  Do you read me?

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@COM:  Cutlass:  I leaned on the side of the temple to sit down for a moment, and I think I set off a trap.  A large stone is now blocking the entrance to the temple.

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba*  Can you communicate with the AT?

CSO_Temal says:
@*Bubba*: Come in

FCOHicks says:
@CMO:  I didn't order a phaser shot!  That could have ricocheted and hit one of us!  Put that away!

CMO_Tae says:
@:: puts phaser away ::

CMO_Tae says:
@Self:  Great.  This is juuust great...

MO_Archer says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: I guess we better head back, maybe if we go in the room on the opposite side of the crystal it will lead out

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::hears the FCO yell at the CMO, then moves closer to the rock::  AT:  ::spoken very loudly::  Hello!?  Can you hear me!?

CSO_Temal says:
@::stops at sound::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  The away team can hear the Security Officer, but barely.

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:  Not yet.  I hear Bubba.

CSO_Temal says:
@CNS: give me your tricorder

FCOHicks says:
@Bubba:  I hear you!  Did you do this!?!?

CNS_Toni says:
@:: hands tricorder to FCO::

CSO_Temal says:
@::works on tricorder::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@FCO:  I hear you, too!  I'm really sorry!  I didn't mean to lock you in, honest!

CMO_Tae says:
@:: rolls her eyes ::

XO_Cain says:
*bubba*  Report.

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO; here sir, I've used this to amplify sound, so Bubba hears us clearly, just push this button and talk

FCOHicks says:
@::I've got a size 13 boot with your name on it::  Bubba:  What did you do!?!?

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@COM: Cutlass: I can hear the away team through the rock, sir.  I'm communicating with them now.

CNS_Toni says:
@::Trying not to laugh loudly::

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:  Good job.  Bubba:  What happened?

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks at the glyphs on the wall ::

XO_Cain says:
*Bubba*  Tell the AT to move back into the cave while I send down a phaser gun to blast the rock.

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@FCO:  I leaned on the side of the temple for a moment, and when I got up, I heard a the large stone move to block the entrance!

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: I have an idea

CMO_Tae says:
@mumbles:  There's a first...

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@FCO:  The XO says to move to the back of the temple!  He's going to send down a phaser gun to blast the rock out of the way!

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: when Bubba hit the wall a second time it set the ax off again, what if he hits whatever he hit out there, hopefully it works the same way

FCOHicks says:
@Bubba:  So find the rock and lean on it again, it may open this entrance again.  ::Motions the CSO to stand by::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@FCO:  Aye, sir!

Host SEC_Bubba says:
@::moves back to where he was resting before, then leans back on the side::

CSO_Temal says:
@::waits calmly::

XO_Cain says:
::has TR2 get ready to beam down a phaser cannon::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: waits ::

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  As Bubba gets back up, the stone slowly moves out of the way, and laughter is heard back towards the rear of the Temple::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: do you hear that?

FCOHicks says:
@All:  I hear it.  Scan that area.

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  Yes I do...

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: perhaps the planets inhabitants are still alive

XO_Cain says:
::picks up AT on scanners::

MO_Archer says:
@CSO: yes sir

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  Scans show nothing, but the laughter is present.

XO_Cain says:
*FCO* Can you hear me.

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks in the direction where the laughter is coming from ::

FCOHicks says:
@*XO*  I read you, sir.  I think we've made contact.

CSO_Temal says:
@Bubba: Please stand in the middle of the room, down sit, don't touch

CNS_Toni says:
@::Turning toward sounds of laughter:

FCOHicks says:
@CSO:  Any readings in the direction of that laughter?

Host SEC_Bubba says:
ACTION:  A Humanoid life form appears out of nowhere, walking out of the darkness, starting to stop laughing.

CSO_Temal says:
@::sees human, scans::

CMO_Tae says:
@FCO:  Sir, this is strange.  I can see him, but I'm not sensing any life.

CNS_Toni says:
@:: walking up behind FCO, stops to see Humanoid figure:

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: first contact, there is explaining to be done

FCOHicks says:
@ALL:  Stay calm everyone.  Lifeform:  We come in peace, we mean you no harm.

Host Humanoid says:
@::starting to calm down somewhat::  People:  You have proven very entertaining to watch.

CMO_Tae says:
@:: frowns and starts to speak but doesn't ::

FCOHicks says:
::Puzzled::  Humanoid:  How so?

CSO_Temal says:
@::frowns, doesn't like being a spectical::

CNS_Toni says:
@::CMO is there something wrong?

Host Humanoid says:
@People:  You may be wondering who I am, and what this place is.  I am K'l'g'vor, and this is my home.  We have been watching your life forms for quite some time now.

MO_Archer says:
@::confused::

CMO_Tae says:
@CNS:  No.

CSO_Temal says:
@FCO: they seem friendly

FCOHicks says:
@Humanoid:  I see.  Do you know who we are?  Can you read our thoughts?

Host Humanoid says:
@People:  We created this planet to draw you here and observe how you would react to this environment.  The results proved quite entertaining.

CMO_Tae says:
@:: frowns and starts to speak but doesn't ::

CSO_Temal says:
@People: why did you bring us here?

FCOHicks says:
@Humanoid:  So you gain entertainment from watching how we react to various stimuli?

Host Humanoid says:
@FCO:  No, we do not read minds.  We do, however, read your computer banks.  This is how we created this planet, from references of ancient civilizations on Earth.

CNS_Toni says:
@::Listens intently::

CSO_Temal says:
@::yes I thought-Egypt::

Host Humanoid says:
@FCO:  Not at all.  We brought you here to observe and learn about you.  We had no idea you would prove entertaining as well.

CSO_Temal says:
@::makes sure tricorder is recording this::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: doesn't see what so entertaining about being locked in a hole ::

MO_Archer says:
@::listens intently::

Host Humanoid says:
ACTION:  The temple, and area all around it starts to vanish, revealing a barren planet.

FCOHicks says:
@Humanoid:  I see.  Well now how may we learn about you?

XO_Cain says:
::listening intently on open comm link::

CMO_Tae says:
@:: looks around ::

CSO_Temal says:
@CMO: they are similar to us, they only wish to know other life forms

FCOHicks says:
@CSO: You were right about the Holograms.

CNS_Toni says:
@::Looking around at barren land:

CSO_Temal says:
@Humanoid: I hope that ax wasn't real

CMO_Tae says:
@CSO:  I still didn't find anything entertaining about it.

MO_Archer says:
@::looks around in awe

Host Humanoid says:
@FCO:  You will find new information in your computer memory.  This is all we wish you to know about us for now.

FCOHicks says:
@Humanoid:  Well then we will leave you now and study the data you've given us.  May we come back at a later date?

Host Humanoid says:
@People:  You are free to go, now.  We have learned all we need to know for now.  ::vanishes::

XO_Cain says:
::starts to search and anylize information, send to the science lab for further investigation::

CMO_Tae says:
@All:  What was that?

CMO_Tae says:
@:: is very confused ::

XO_Cain says:
*FCO*  Interesting Willie.  I will be looking forward to your report when you return.

FCOHicks says:
@All:  Well that was interesting.  *Cutlass*  AT ready to beam up.

CNS_Toni says:
@::CSO wasn't that a great scientific experience?

CSO_Temal says:
@::makes note to read and send information the Star Fleet Command::

FCOHicks says:
@*XO* Aye, sir.

MO_Archer says:
@::strange mission::

CNS_Toni says:
@::enters notes into tricorder for later evaluation:

CMO_Tae says:
@:: hopes she won't have to do that again ::

CSO_Temal says:
@All: ready to beam up?  Bubba: good job

CNS_Toni says:
@::FCO: ready to beam aboard:  Bubba I want to see in my office real soon!!

XO_Cain says:
::signals TR1 to beam up AT::

Host Humanoid says:
