Summary
	The Siren crew found a weak federation transponder signal as well as what they believe to be the facility they were looking for.  Unfortunately, that was not all they found.  Currently they are tunneling through a mountain to get to the facility.
	On the Nighthawk, they also unfortunately found something unexpected, but not soon enough.  The instigators have been warned and our moving to escape, taking with them federation operatives.  The crew also has an unknown alien in the brig and a shuttle bay in shambles, the Chameleon surprisingly unscratched… or is it…

Announcements

•	We will be starting close to the time or possibly a little bit late.

Time Lapse:
	A few minutes…

First officer's log, stardate 10511.12 - I am currently onboard the Siren. We are heading for the darker areas of this planet's seas. In addition, it would seem we are going to stage a rescue mission along the way. I only wish we had more time to thoroughly prepare.

<<<<<<<<<< The Unclothed Truth VI:  Creepy Little... >>>>>>>>>>

CIV Storm says:
@ :: In the small lab on the Siren, quietly enjoying her categorizing of the marine species.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Watches the seas through the Siren's windows::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: In his cell, dreaming about his past::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Moves to the flight control console in the cramped controls room::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: Still on course for our destination.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Notes some readings and moves back to tactical::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Glances up as Trigger checks something and then returns to tactical:: aCMO: Anything interesting?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Sits in the Siren and looks around to face the aCMO:: CNS: Very good, keep it going.. :: Pauses a moment:: aCMO: Alright, ensign, Just to be on the safe side, take me through the events again.. If you will, that is.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CNS: Commander, We're about 10 minutes away from the signal I picked up hours ago, I'm also picking up another signal about 2km down, 5 minutes away.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sits at the science console monitoring the planet as best as possible, knowing quite well she won't know anything till the Siren's current investigation is actually done::

ACTION:  The captain patiently waits in his ready room quietly mulling over the implications of the teens on Freedom and whether he should keep their secret, while he waits for a report from the Away Team.

Dratt says:
% ::nods to one of the guards on Ra-Kol's cell and steps in as the heavy door swings open and slams shut with a crash behind him:: Ra-Kol: Look at me. :: Eyes like daggers, he sneers down at the pristine twin::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Looks over his shoulder:: XO: You want me to dive down to the closer signal?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CNS: Also I'm picking up a large creature swimming around down here but I'm having trouble getting a lock on it.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CNS: Not yet.. I want to use caution.. This is our only effective means to get here, I don't want to lose it.. Easy does it..
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: Understood. Then its about 8 minutes to the signal.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Hears someone enter the cell and opens his eyes just a bit to see who it is and what he wants::

ACTION:  A button underneath OPS console lights up dimly.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Do you need help on the sensors?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: The closer signal appears to be circular... could it be some kind of force field?
OPS Yel says:
::looks at the unfamiliar light, not recognizing it and having the distinct impression its not meant for her:: CSO: Could you come here ma'am please?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Sitting in his cell, with his back to the wall::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: It is possible. :: Turns around to face the back to the command area, but doesn't see Storm there:: *CIV*: Jackson to Storm, please report to the bridge..
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Watches as the SF signal becomes stronger::
Dratt says:
% Ra-Kol: Can that clone of yours hear me? :: Shouts and then jabs his fist quickly into a nasty bruise on the man's shoulder:: Can he?!? You tell him. You tell him for me it's his turn now. :: Steps over the deadly bug and orders the guard to open the door::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks up a bit lost for a moment.::  *XO*:  Ummm... I am on my way.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up as she was distracted and curtly nods to Yel. She moves to OPS immediately noticing the light:: OPS: Can you please take the science console for a moment please. I will deal with this
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Takes a moment to make sure everything is secure, then heads out for the bridge.::
OPS Yel says:
:: Looks curiously at the CSO, opening her mouth to say something. But as she looks to Alexandra's face she realizes its better not to ask questions. Quietly she moves away::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Checks the console:: XO: We're approaching the signal. 3 minutes.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%::Almost faints as his already battered body takes yet another blow, with clenched teeth he says:: Dratt: He's my brother, not my clone
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Waits for Yel to be out of ear's reach and adjusts the little transmitter to her ear and presses the discretely placed button::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Runs a full passive sensor sweep of the area::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Turns back to face Varesh and Trigger:: CNS/aCMO: You know, Alex's help would not be out of place here.. ::sighs:: CNS: Alright, slow us down a little, we don't want to get in there half blinded.. Perhaps our sensors will be a bit more accurate as well.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Feels his brother is taking yet another beating. He can feel his brother is in very bad shape::
Dratt says:
% :: Turns in the doorway:: Ra-Kol: Not yet he's not. But when he looks like you, he will be. :: Slams the door behind him and crosses the hall to the next cell, entering with a flourish, the last of his remaining patience exhausted::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens, an alarmed expression passes over her face but she quickly erases it, grateful there are no telepaths on the bridge at the moment::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: Aye, sir. :: Slows the Siren down drastically, giving Trigger time to scan more extensively::
Dratt says:
% :: Smiles, empty of all humor or good intention:: Ar-Kol: Did your clone tell you?
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Closes his eyes again as he tries to prepare for what he's going to feel when they start beating Ar-Kol::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Arriving on the bridge, looks a bit warily at Varesh as she takes a seat.::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Nods to the CNS and runs another scan of the area::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Gives Storm a guarded smile::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
::gets up from OPS making a mental note to move the device to the science console then makes her way to the Captain’s ready room, speaking on the way:: OPS: You have the bridge
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CIV: Ah, there you are.. The doc over there was having some trouble identifying a sensor contact a minute ago, perhaps you can take a look.. :: Smiles at Storm::
OPS Yel says:
:: Slowly moves yet again to the center chair::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Sighs:: Dratt: You're pretty thick you know that? If you don't believe what we tell you, then why do you even bother asking questions? :: Gets up, feeling like it's about time to stop this nonsense right here::

ACTION:  A dark shadow larger then the Siren crosses below her.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: This is definitely some sort of force field... but I can't Identify the technology... most certainly alien.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Rings the Captain's Ready Room::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Type and size?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Hears a ring:: CSO :Enter
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Enters the room as the door opens:: CO: Mind if I sit?

Scenery:  Beyond the water shield, a large dark object can be seen... its symetry hints at something not natural.

CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Please have a seat, what is on your mind
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: First look... looks like a pressure shield, maybe for a sub marine terra-forming.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Keeps an eye on the sensors, keeping her on course::
Dratt says:
% Ar-Kol: I'll stop when I get the truth. You have my word on it. :: Continues smiling, eyes flinty with hostility:: I told your other spawn that I was coming for you next. But not quite yet... :: Changes the tone of his voice:: Open your hands and hold them out. Don't do anything stupid or I *will* kill you.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: I know from a safe source that we have an informant amongst our crew. ::looks as gravely as ever::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Can we penetrate it, and if so.. How?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Size is large enough to encase an entire large factory complex.

ACTION:  Something bumps against the Siren.

CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Who?
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks around, whispers.:: What was that?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks angry:: CSO: Why?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Given the depth I'd say the only way in or out would be a massive pressure-lock sir.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Takes a step forward as he looks at Dratt with all the hate he can muster:: Dratt: You mean you'll try
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Glances at Storm:: ~~~CIV: Suzi... I'm not unhappy with what you have told me, its just the implications are enormous, for all of us involved.~~~ :: Speaks aloud as they feel the bump.:: All: What?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Feels a bump:: aCMO: What was that? ::Turns to Varesh:: CNS: Take us a few meters up, away from the surface..
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Shakes her head, glad he isn’t asking the source:: CO: Unknown, but apparently a female in disguise. I am guessing this is why we weren’t told about the Starfleet officer lost on the planet
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Checks the sensors:: XO: Aye, sir. But we've been bumped by a large lifeform... a VERY large one.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Nods at Varesh's thoughts and moves over toward the sensors beside him.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Ponders for a moment...if the CO was the informant.... nah he couldn't be, could he?::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks deeply into Gomes Eyes:: CSO: Who do you suspect?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: CNS: Take us up regardless.. aCMO: Any sign of one of those.. Pressure locks..
Dratt says:
% :: Laughs and buries a fist in Ar-Kol's gut before grabbing him by the throat and slamming him against the wall:: Ar-Kol: Don't ever try to back me down, you freak. Ever! :: Releases his throat, leaving a bloody handprint on him::
CIV Storm says:
@ ::Quietly::  Nooo... that is not possible.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Nods and eases the Siren up and away from their amorous alien::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: It could be that big critter I found swimming around earlier.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Stares at the CO back, meeting his eyes:: CO: I wouldn't suspect anyone if I didn’t trust this information so much. The one less in our control is the civilian...Dr Storm. All the rest are Starfleet Officers. In any event, I'll monitor all the transmissions made from the Nighthawk. But if it is her...the AT doesn't stand a chance
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: But I have no ... evidence against anyone at all.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: None sir, but I think I may have a way in...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Blinks for a moment to hide his surprise, even his failure to understand:: aCMO: You mean to suggest that the life-form we just bumped into might be  entry into the complex? Basis for that. Hypothesis?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Looks at Dratt and smiles, then suddenly he hits Dratt straight on the nose with all his power, steps forward and kicks him hard on the knee::
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Sir... Look at these readings... don't they look familiar to you?
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I want a complete background check on her, what education she has had to what she had for breakfast 3 weeks ago.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Not the critter, the Rock sir. Seems the shield can't go through the rock, but the Siren is equipped to be able to tunnel through it.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Looks at the readings:: CIV: Vaguely familiar, yes... refresh my memory.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: You will have it, as much as I can dig.  But if it isn’t her, what else can we look for?
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  That lovely bug in a box in the lab on the Nighthawk.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: If we tunnel through it. Would that not mean we'd be opening the air bubble inside up to the water?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Eyes go big:: CIV: My goddess, you're right!

ACTION:  The lights on the Nighthawk briefly dim as power levels drop by 10%.

Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: As he feels more faint by the minute he slips away in dreams::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I want a complete background check on all the senior staff on the away team, what they did for shore leave, all the places they have gone to, and then the rest of the crew.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up:: CO: This is not good. Maybe I'm getting paranoid but… :: Gets up::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Quietly::  CNS:  There was never indication it could get so... big.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Not exactly sir.
Dratt says:
% :: Accustomed to violence, he ignores the injury and grabs the defiant prisoner across the waist, slamming him in to the wall again:: Ar-Kol: I warned you! ::slips back an inch to grab at the prisoner's groin, crushing it in his fist for a moment before reaching up and grabbing his head, slamming it back against the wall::
OPS Yel says:
:: Makes her way to the OPS console to find out what dimmed the lights::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: That is just a scary concept. Best we inform the Exec,
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Then by all means, explain what would happen.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: With your permission sir, I want to get to the bridge and find out what this was
Dratt says:
% :: Pulls a wicked-looking knife from his boot and holds it against the prisoner's throat:: Ar-Kol: Move again and I'll gut you.
OPS Yel says:
:: Frowns at the results and urges the engineers to work on it::
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Are we not under communication silence?  Especially this close to the enemy?
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO Go ahead
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Glances over his shoulder:: CIV: I meant Gary over there.
Dratt says:
% :: Calls for the guards::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I'll join you  ::Walks onto the bridge::

ACTION:  Two guards enter the cell at Dratt's call.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: We start digging into the rock... ::gestures with his hands:: Then, when we've dug so far, we deploy field emitters to seal the tunnel behind us...
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Ignores the pain. This guy is strong and knows some tricks, but in their lives they've had their share of fights and pain. Using the wall he pushes himself and Dratt forward, using the momentum to shove Dratt into the opposite wall, using their combined weight::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods and heads to the bridge, then speaks in a low voice:: CO: And I will start that report
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Oh...
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Understood.  OPS: Status report
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Then, as we dig further, the pressure equalizes and as long as we pick our entry point carefully we can slip into the facility unnoticed.
OPS Yel says:
CO: Power output decreased by 10%. The engineers are still trying to trace the problem. But our engineering hasn't quite been the same since ... since they had to be replaced
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: These emitters will work here? And will be effective in sealing this area off?

ACTION:  In the underground facility, a proximity-light flashes.  A guard grumbles about the stupid bug getting out again.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: Gary, we have a bit of a problem.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets to the science console and pulls up the file on Storm::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Turns to Varesh:: CNS: I'm listening..
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I've checked the specs and the water pressure... I don't see why not.
Dratt says:
:: Lets the guards pull him off:: Ar-Kol: I don't care what they want, I'm tired of you and your copy. :: Nods to the guards:: Guards: Bring him. :: Heads back out the door::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: You know that love-tap we just got? Well, its one of the bugs we're here to investigate... but it’s humongous.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Doesn't turn to Trigger:: aCMO: Check for the actual deployment environment. I don't want to risk flooding our own rescue area..
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Very well.  CSO: You have the bridge. I'm going to head down there and solve this.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks to the TL::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Aye sir. :: Double checks his calculations::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Yes sir
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Glad that that's over he follows willingly. There will be other chances::

ACTION:  One of the transformers on the ship explodes.

Dratt says:
% Ar-Kol: No more beatings. No more shouting. :: Voice quiet and deadly:: That blood on the floor in your thing's cell is cold now. I'm going to cut him and get some nice warm blood for my little friends. I think a cut every six inches should do, don't you? And you're going to watch this time.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Eyes widen slightly:: CNS: Oh.. Oh dear.. Well.. Well, that's bad news indeed...
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Feels the vibration.:: Self: What...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@XO: Indeed.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I've been over it again, All the simulations back up my theories sir.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%Dratt: I’ll watch...and then I’ll watch as I’ll see you roll in it
OPS Yel says:
CO: Sir, one of the ship's transformers exploded!
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Feels a shake:: OPS: Dispatch Security to all decks
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up at OPS and at the CO worried::

ACTION:  In the confusion, a signal is sent from the Nighthawk to the planet.

OPS Yel says:
CO: Yellow alert?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Dispatches security to all decks::
OPS Yel says:
 CO: Signal coming from the ship to the planet sir
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Sighs:: CNS: Let's see.. We are here to rescue our crewmember, whom I have not even met yet. We are under water. Illegally so, I might add.  And now we bump into a huge version of what we are looking for. And we can't even report it due to radio silence...? Does that cover it all?
Dratt says:
% :: Turns quickly and points the blade right in Ar-Kol's face:: Ar-Kol: You first! ::opens Ra-Kol's cell himself advancing on the battered prisoner with a vengeance, arm swinging wide before opening up a four inch slice across Ra-Kol's arm::
CIV Storm says:
@ XO:  It could be these waters you know.  The nutrients here could be ideal letting it grow larger then normal, plus they probably have no natural predators here.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Nods:: XO: Sounds about right to me yes.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Makes preparations to start digging::
Dratt says:
:: Glances down at the bugs and wheezes with a grin:: Bugs: Dinnertime.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Flinches as his arm gets cut open, fresh blood gushing out::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Frowns:: CIV: Natural predators? You want me to believe these bugs are naturally formed beings?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Rushes forward, shoving aside the guards and pushing Dratt towards the bug still on the floor::

ACTION:  The facility is getting an incoming message.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Accesses SRS::CO: The signal is being sent to the general area where the Siren is, underwater.

ACTION:  The agile bug leaps onto Dratt.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Tries to trace which console sent it::
CIV Storm says:
@ XO:  Somewhere they might have been.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks into Engineering:: *CSO*: This is not good, trace it
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Gets up from the floor, knowing that it's now or never, advancing on the guards.::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I'm about ready to dig on your signal.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*Attempting sir, its coming from private quarters
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Turns around to the guard, prepared to fight to the death::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks at the crew assignments::
Dratt says:
:: Jumps back quickly with a filthy curse word, flicking the bug off with the tip of his knife before turning a murderous glance on Ar-Kol and Ra-Kol, swinging a kick in to the battered prisoner's ribs to put him down again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: It’s from an apparently empty room, want me to give you the coordinates?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CIV: I'd hate to think what we'd up against in their natural environment... All: In any event, I see no choice but to break radio silence and report this new event.. :: Looks around the bridge for a moment::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Checks for life forms in the room::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Although severely beaten, he avoids the kick. He senses that he is no match for Dratt, leaving him for his brother, so he attacks the guards::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Keeps an eye out for the bug to come back::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Turns to Varesh:: CNS: Open a priority channel to the Nighthawk..
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Knocks one of the guards down, turning back towards Dratt, out for his blood::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts barking orders to the Engineering staff:: *CSO*: Where on the ship?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Taps the controls on the console:: CO: Priority channel, encrypted and I'm trying to disguise it a bit as well... we'll see what happens.

ACTION:  The guards fire at the twins, at the highest stun setting.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Crew quarters. But whoever it was, left. I have the message, the computer is decoding it ...
Dratt says:
% :: Sees the two men go down like sacks, and turns angry eyes on the guards:: Guards: Why did you do that? Now I need to wait for them to wake up!

ACTION:  A light flashes on the flight console.  The shuttlebay doors are opening.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: It appears to be some sort of warning. I think it’s safe to assume the leak is still aboard
Guard 1 says:
% Dratt: I just got a report from the command center, Dratt. Sensors have detected something incoming. :: Frowns:: Someone's found us.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks at internal sensors and yells:: OPS: Close those doors

ACTION:  A guard delivers Dratt the message.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@COM: Nighthawk: Away Team to Nighthawk. We have a problem down here.. We have just come across one of the bugs the size of a large shuttlecraft or runabout..
OPS Yel says:
:: Struggles to stop the shuttle from leaving and keeping the bay closed
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Scans for the creature::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Seems like he's doing a lot of dreaming lately. Somehow that conscious thought slips through::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts barking orders to the Engineering staff:: *CSO*: Where on the ship?

ACTION:  The shuttle bay doors stop opening but that does not stop someone flying a shuttle from trying to exit between the crack.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM Siren: We have problems as well Commander. There is an informant aboard the Nighthawk. What can I do to assist you?
Dratt says:
% :: Can barely concentrate to read the message he's so worked up.:: Guards: Launch torpedoes and prep my ship. :: Takes a deep breath and tries to calm down:: We need to accelerate the timeline.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets a lock on the shuttle pilot and beams it to the brig:: Self: got you

ACTION:  A bedraggled and hairy creature is beamed to the brig.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Waits a moment to process that information:: COM: Nighthawk: Nothing at the moment, though we might need some help soon.. We will be starting the extraction procedure in a moment.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Captain, our guest is trying to leave and the Siren is in trouble
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Tractor it
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CNS: Commander, I suggest we start digging sir, I don't think we can withhold any more "love taps".
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: He is in the brig at the moment, I'll dispatch extra security...I don’t recognize its life signatures

ACTION:  The shuttle with no pilot hits the docking bay door, creating a back explosion.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@aCMO: I like your suggestion. I'll bring us in position, you operate the digging thingy.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks at Yel:: OPS: Get that shuttle back in and clean the mess.
Dratt says:
% :: Glances down at the twins:: Guard2: Bring them. They'll tell me how much they know, or they'll have to learn to breathe vacuum. :: Leaves the room, clenching and unclenching his fists to calm down as he heads for the sub::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods at Trigger:: aCMO: When we are ready, and coordinate with Varesh.. Let's dig.
OPS Yel says:
CSO: And a big mess it is, the shuttle just exploded against the doors, I'll send teams to work on it. Else the Siren will have a hard time returning
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CNS: I'm on it. :: Activates the digging array and prepares the shield emitters::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: Sire: Have you located the bug facility yet? And our crew? We are standing by to retrieve you on your word

ACTION:  The shuttles nearest the door explode, sending shrapnel backwards.  Air begins to be sucked out into space.  The only ship that appears untouched is the Chameleon which gives off a subtle glow.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Aligns the Siren with the rock:: aCMO: All yours. I'll watch the progress and ease us in.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Would you like to interrogate the creature yourself or should I?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@COM: Nighthawk: As I said, we are starting digging through the rock here, into the complex, at any moment now. We will report back when we finish..
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I will do it.  Have a security team meet me there.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Begins digging:: CNS: Take us in commander, make our speed one zero Knots.
OPS Yel says:
:: Raises her eyebrows at all the damage and sends the teams in:: CSO: The Chameleon is safe ...but nothing else in that bay is
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*Yes sir ::nods at OPS to send the team::

ACTION:  The siren begins to quickly tunnel into the volcanic rock.

Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Starts dreaming about Harlan::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM Siren: Very well, the situation here seems to be under control. We will keep radio silence till you contact. Nighthawk out.

ACTION:  A torpedo from the facility launches, seeking a heat source.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@aCMO: Aye. Easing at break neck speed of one zero knots...
Dratt says:
:: Blood still dripping from his gloves, he heads to the facility's surface sub, listening as the guards drag the twins behind them::
Ens Wires says:
:: Arrives at the shuttlebay shaking his head at all the mess. Watches his team put on EVA suits in order to get the force field in place and then goes back to tracking down the 10% drain and the explosion::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Runs to the brig::

ACTION:  The Siren cuts through the rock as if it were butter.

CO Capt Monroe says:
*CSO*: Status report!
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Monitors their progress on his own little console:: aCMO: Prepare to deploy the first Field Emitters..
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: As the ship's stern passes the initial entry point into the rock he deploys the shield emitters and activates the shields to seal off the tunnel behind them::
Dratt says:
:: Checks quickly to see if the last of the holding cages have been put aboard the sub before stepping inside::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: We don't have a shuttlebay but repairs are underway. I do not have an ETR yet. The away team is trying to cut through to what they thing is the bug-breeding facility. As for our guest.. You tell me
