U.S.S. Pendragon - 10103.07

Supporting Cast

EO Chamberlain – Sam Hung
TO Marcus - JMAC 
Merak – Jim Xye
Marem – Jim Xye
Terak: Karriaunna 

Synopsis: The Pendragon is currently in orbit around the second planet in the Cordon system.  They have been sent there to help in the possible discovery of corstag, a mineral that will help the Romulan's in dealing with a plague on one of their colony worlds.
Host Karriaunna says:
The planet is one of two that is between the sun and an asteroid belt.  There is a high amount of ionization in the area that is disrupting equipment.  They are picking up some sort of a signal from the planet below that is rather musical.  An AT on a shuttle has launched and is entering the planets atmosphere.

::Monitors the tactical console on the bridge::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Maintaining standard orbit, Ma'am.  No new information of the ion storm yet.
TO_Marcus says:
XO: All tactical systems report normal as they can be. Ionization is disrupting to some degree so things may take an extra bit to go through
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods:: FCO: Please slave the OPS console to yours and keep an eye on the AT, Ensign.
CSO_Gunther says:
@SELF: Hmmmmmm.... ::getting a more solid signal now, and picking up high concentrations of corstag::

@CSO:  Will do.  ::enters the co-ordinates::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Contact the shuttle for its position, please.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye, Cmdr.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::as the shuttle dips below the cloud cover, sees a beautiful world of mountains and valleys::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Self:  Cool.
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Puts up the latest Diagnostic on the screen and begins to read it::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::sees a clearing just ahead::
FCO_Rofax says:
COMM: AT: CSO: Lt. the XO requests your location.  Your whereabouts, please?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::gently lands the shuttle with nary a bump::
FCO_Rofax says:
::puts the open comm on overhead speakers::
CSO_Gunther says:
@COM: Blishe: We are in grid 12, section F7. Are you having sensor trouble?
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: is glad the shuttle ride was gentle::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::grins triumphantly at the CMO::
Host XO_Zax says:
::waits for the EO to send the report to her console::
FCO_Rofax says:
COMM: AT: CSO: Not at this time, just verifying my readings, Lt.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CSO:  So, can we breathe out there?
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Are the sensors clear?
CSO_Gunther says:
@::scanning:: CTO: We'll know in a minute....
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Tactical sensors are slightly fuzzy, but I can make out most things.
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Near by, the city of Sheronan experiences a minor earthquake.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, anything further for the AT?
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: checks to see if everything is in place::
Host XO_Zax says:
::shakes her head at the FCO::
EO_Chamberlain says:
*XO*: We have a slight problem; the ionization is starting to have an effect.
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Will that be a problem?
Merak says:
@::Falls on his back:: Self: Oh lord, it's an earthquake ::hears the citizens screaming in horror::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns and runs a hand through her hair::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I just detected possible tremors on the planet. Not 100% certain though, could be sensor interference.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::nods, then stands:: CTO: Cleanest air I've seen in a while. Shall we? ::gestures toward the hatch, grabbing his tricorder::
Host XO_Zax says:
*EO*: How serious, LT?
EO_Chamberlain says:
*XO*: But it is minor, nothing to worry about at this time, sir. ::Sends the latest report to the XO::
FCO_Rofax says:
COMM: AT: CSO: All looks good from here, Lt. I will maintain a transporter lock once you land.  Pendragon out.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::nods at the CSO and opens the hatch::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::stands and arms phaser::
Host XO_Zax says:
::Looks at the TO:: TO: Any seismic activity near the landing coordinates?
CSO_Gunther says:
@::checks his own phaser and steps out, scanning::
Merak says:
@::Runs out of his house:: ALL: People, to the shelters quickly.
Host XO_Zax says:
*EO*: I'm expecting you to stay on top of it, Mr. Chamberlain.
FCO_Rofax says:
::reverts to checking on the suspected ion storm approaching::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Too fuzzy to locate the exact epicenter. Suggest contacting the away team to see if they have better data being on the ground, sir
EO_Chamberlain says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::exits the shuttle and frowns at the CSO for not waiting for her to secure the area first::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Begins another diagnostic on the engines::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: picks up his Med kit and slowly begins to follow the CSO, also scanning with his medical tricorder::
CSO_Gunther says:
@CTO: I think we should check out this signal first...
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Please do, Lt.
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ground has stopped shaking for the people of Sheronan.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CSO:  What signal is that?
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: Away Team: We have detected probably seismic activity on the planet. Can you confirm?
CSO_Gunther says:
@::taps comm badge:: COM: Blishe: We've landed and are proceeding to investigate the signal.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::show the CTO the tricorder:: CTO: This one. Some kind of comm signal, I think.
FCO_Rofax says:
::double checks the transport locks and is satisfied::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Any data on the local inhabitants yet, Ensign? Please coordinate with Marcus and get as much data as possible.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CSO:  Okay.  Let's go.  Heads off in the indicated direction::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Looks at the CSO:: CSO: There has been recent seismic activity
FCO_Rofax says:
::runs LRS and SRS in the direction of approaching ion storm::
Merak says:
@::Feels the earth stopping:: Self: Hmmmm.
CSO_Gunther says:
@COM: Blishe: Negative. We've detected no seismic activity... ::scans quickly:: ...scratch that, the planet is seismically active.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks at the CMO in surprise::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: The away team is confirming that the planet is seismically active, sir.
Host XO_Zax says:
*EO*: Any changes in the ionic effects?
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods at the TO::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr. ::wrinkles brow:: Self:  What inhabitants???
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Sensors are confirming that the epicenter was near the shuttle, surrounding ground is rather soft and amplified the effect. However it was nothing much, sir
Merak says:
@::Sees Marem running:: Marem: Over here.
FCO_Rofax says:
::scans surface once again looking for anything resembling a pulse::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::admires the beautiful scenery as they walk::
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Keep an eye on it, Lt. They'll need as much warning as possible should another occur.
EO_Chamberlain says:
*XO* Not at the moment, I am Diagnostics on the Warp Core right now.
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Continues scanning along with the CSO::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I don't know how much warning I can give, but I am keeping the best eye on it the ship can do right now, sir.
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns:: EO: Understood, Lt.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::walks along, tracking the signal::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::pauses to sniff a particularly gorgeous alpine-type flower::
Host XO_Zax says:
::is beginning to think the EO is goofing off again::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: No known inhabitants, Cmdr.  Is there something I am unaware of?  ::routes results to Cmdr's chair console::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::sneezes::
Merak says:
@::Hurries over to Marem:: Marem: What has happened?
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Not far from the shuttle is a beautiful crystal lake with a stream running down into it from the mountain.
Marem says:
::runs to Merak::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns at the young ensign:: FCO: There are no fauna what so ever?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks at the lake::  Self:  Wow!
CSO_Gunther says:
@::sees the stream...it reminds him of a similar area on Ktaria::
Marem says:
   @Merak: Something weird is happening.
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Sits at Engineering and looks at the Computer.::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: I am afraid I have nothing but the Away Team on the surface, Cmdr.  Suggestions?  ::turns back to LRS/SRS::
Merak says:
@Marem: We've never experienced earthquakes before!
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: spots a stream leading from a lake and it brings terrible memories out of the recesses of his mind::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The Sheronan feels minor shakes of the ground.
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Another possible quake sir. Attempting to determine the location. 
Merak says:
@::Shakes:: Marem: Dear lord!
Marem says:
@ Merak: I've never had a lunch so big either... I shouldn't run.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::stops looking at the lake and continues trudging::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the approaching Ion storm will reach the Blishe in approx 2 hours.
Host XO_Zax says:
::smiles slightly:: FCO: I suggest you begin a class six scan of the planet's surface. Identify as many species as you can for further research and study::
CSO_Gunther says:
@::continues following the sensor trail::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns at the TO:: TO: Magnitude?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CSO:  Any idea how much farther?  ::looks up at the nearby mountains hoping they don't have to climb one::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Severity of the storm?
Merak says:
@Marem: Oh Marem, it's time to lose some weight.
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Looks at the Screen again.  Then looks at a PADD::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Unable to determine from here. The density of the ground causes readings that the computer is having trouble accounting for. My best guess is that was an aftershock, sir.
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: is having a bad feeling about the surroundings::
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTIONS:  The readings of corstag seem to come from a mountain near the lake.
Marem says:
@ Merak: Yes. Maybe my running caused the earthquake. ::laughs at his fat joke::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Everything all right, Doctor?
Merak says:
@::laughs as well::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Unknown at this time, Cmdr.  I fear the ionization and radiation are affecting my scans.  I will attempt to achieve better results, Cmdr.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::records the location of the corstag for future reference::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Takes the PADD and starts up a game of Pong::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: I am ok :: sarcastically:: you??
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: New scans of the surface reveal a myriad of plants and animals, nothing humanoid detected, Cmdr.
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Stay on top of it, Lt. Contact the AT again. Also inform them of the approaching storm. They will have to wrap it up in 70 minutes.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::detects a note of sarcasm::  CMO:  What's your problem?
FCO_Rofax says:
::scans the approaching storm with reconfigured scan::
Merak says:
@Marem: But something is telling me these are not earthquakes
Host XO_Zax says:
::smiles :: FCO: Anything unusual?
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Yes, sir. Everything appears quiet on the ground now, sir, but that kind of thing is hard to detect from orbit.
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: remembers to control himself:: CTO: Nothing :: continues scanning::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::absolutely hates deception::  CMO:  Just spit it out, would you.
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: CSO: Away team, ion storms are approaching our position, you have 70 minutes to wrap up whatever you are doing and return to the ship.
CSO_Gunther says:
@SELF: Hmmm... ::notices that the signal and the corstag seem to be in the same place::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Nothing out of the ordinary, just no humanoids, Cmdr...
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders what Gunther is "hmmming" about now::
CSO_Gunther says:
@COM: Blishe: Understood. We'll try to pick up the pace. ::goes to slight trot, toward the mountain::
Marem says:
@ ::shrieks in fear as he sees giant approaching::
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you, Ensign Rofax.
Merak says:
@Marem: Stop shrieking and pay attention to me!
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Uses every once of self control:: CTO: Nothing is wrong
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::follows the CSO wishing he'd let tactical lead the way::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I am detecting a drain to the shields, we are losing shield integrity.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::eyes the CMO::  CMO:  Yeah, right.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO:  Aye Cmdr.  ::continues with class six scan of surface and approaching storm::
Host XO_Zax says:
::turns towards the TO:: TO: The cause?
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Console Bleeps, Looks up from the game:: Self: Oh no. ::Drops the PADD on the floor, and runs to shield control::
TO_Marcus says:
FCO: I am routing available power into the shields, now. ::does so to attempt to correct for the loss from the drain::
Marem says:
@ Merak: What do we do?
Merak says:
@::Notices a big shadow around him, turns around and sees the AT, shrieks in fear as well::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns:: *EO*: Chamberlain? Where are you? ::fairly barks it::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, new information on the approaching storm....   ::nods to TO::  TO: Understood...
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Eyes the CTO back and continues scanning and ignoring the CTO's antics::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: It appears to be caused by their impacts by the ionization. Which would be normal for the use that they are getting. Sensors still are not at full accuracy though.
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the AT approach the area, they notice something odd on the ground.  Light reflects back from something as well as an order to things....
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods::
FCO_Rofax says:
::monitors power transfer and effect on scans::
Merak says:
@Marem: Mmmmarem, wwwwhha what is that?
EO_Chamberlain says:
*XO*: Here, Commander. In Engineering, sir. ::Thinks the XO is picking on him::
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Get Chamberlain up here immediately.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::stops and blinks, scanning::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::stops dead and looks very surprised::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Shields are holding at 99%, sir. The effect is stable right now.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: What new information?
Merak says:
@Marem: Quick, get me my ancient shrinker.
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Nearly trips on the CSO and quickly looks down:: Self: What the?
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Good job, Lt. Thank you.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@All:  What is that?
Marem says:
@ Merak: I really don't know where it is. I think I left it. But, running doesn't hurt.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::peers downward intently::
TO_Marcus says:
*EO* Please report to bridge. Bring any data you have on this type of ionization causing power drains as well.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the Ion storm appears to be packing a whollop.  I'll be able to get the Blishe out of here in one or two pieces, but the shuttle will not survive it.  We will also lose contact with the AT.
Marem says:
@ ::digs in bag:: Merak: Wait ! I have it. YAY !
Merak says:
@::Looks for it in his pocket:: Marem: There it is.
Host XO_Zax says:
::brings up computer data on recent work performed by the engineering staff::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: is wondering what is happening::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: ETA of the storm?
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Runs around to Power Control and sees that Shields have been compensated:: *TO*: On my way. ::Walks out of Engineering::
FCO_Rofax says:
::begins plotting escape routes out of the area::
Merak says:
@::Engages the ancient shrinker at the AT::
Marem says:
@ ::smiles at making them their own size::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Takes a PADD with him, and heads to the bridge::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: How long will you need to get the ship to safety?
CMO_Daetalus says:
@CSO/CTO: What is that?  :: Points at the shimmering surface::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Meets up with a Engineer and takes his Diagnostic PADD and heads quickly for the bridge::
TO_Marcus says:
FCO: How long until the stronger edge of this storm reaches us? We'll have to drop shields to recover the shuttle...
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the AT looks on, a vapor slowly arises.  As they inhale it, there perspective seems to change....
Host XO_Zax says:
::is waiting impatiently for the FCO's reply::
Merak says:
@::Looks at the shrinking AT:: Marem: This thing comes in handy sometimes.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::sees the vapor and holds his breath::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Tries to hold his breath and back away::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the storm will be on us in approx 1hr, 50minutes.  I will need at least 20 minutes to safely navigate the asteroid field, but I can cut that to ten if necessary::grins widely::  Another five to clear the system.  The little bucket will do warp 9.7 for 12 hours, I can outrun that storm, no problem, Cmdr....
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: tries to move backward rather quickly::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Enters the bridge with 3 Padds of Engineering Diagnostics and 1 Padd of data of Ionization stuff for the TO::
CSO_Gunther says:
@::scans the vapor, backing away::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::just stands there completely stunned::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Understood.
EO_Chamberlain says:
TO: Here is all the Data I have.  ::Hands him a Padd::
Marem says:
@ ::takes the only weapon out he has... a board with a nail in it::
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: CSO: We need the shuttle inside the bay within no more than 90 minutes if we cut it at the max, sooner you can get done the better.
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Recall the AT, please.
Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The vapor envelops them quickly and the AT find them selves at the edge of a large city with two men staring at them.
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Understood::reviews the PADD for anything useful::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::points her phaser at the one with the board::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns at the EO::
Merak says:
@::Stares at the AT, nudges Marem:: Marem: Hide it, look good
CSO_Gunther says:
@COM: Blishe: As soon as I figure out where we are....
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: looks up and is surprised:: Self: Who are they :: pulls out his tricorder and scans them::
Marem says:
@ ::hides the board::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Walks to the XO:: XO: Here is all the diagnostics we have done.  We just caught the Shield loss and are running tests on it.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, I've lost the Away Team.... their signals are gone....
CSO_Gunther says:
@::scans madly:: TWO MEN: Who are you, and how did we get here?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::scowls at Marem daring him to blandish his puny weapon again::
Merak says:
@Marem: Shall we welcome our visitors?
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Repeat, no signal from the surface, Cmdr....
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns at the EO:: EO: And you were where?
FCO_Rofax says:
::frantically tries to get the AT back on scans::
FCO_Rofax  (CompWorking.wav)
Host XO_Zax says:
::looks surprised:: FCO: Lost them?
Marem says:
@ Merak: Yes. I'm sure they want to know what has happened to them ::chuckles::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::sidles over to the CMO.  ::Whispers::  CMO:  Can you read these guys at all?
EO_Chamberlain says:
XO: In Main Engineering, sir.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: I cannot explain it, Cmdr.  They were there and now they're not....
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: CSO: Our shields are being hit by the ionization; you will need to compensate power from your other systems in the shuttle to the shields, confirm?
Merak says:
@::Walks over to the AT:: AT: Welcome strangers to the beautiful city of Sheranon.
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I cannot confirm that my signal to them is being received.
Host XO_Zax says:
ALL: Find them now!
TO_Marcus says:
::begins busily scanning the surface with every bit of sensor technology that is available to him::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Jumps back:: XO: Aye, sir
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Recalibrate sensors on a random frequency to compensate for the ionic interference.
Marem says:
@ ::moves forward to the AT with hands up peacefully:: AT: We have few guests. Nice to see some strange faces.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::stands very still and wary:: Merak: How did we get here?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Thinks to self:  Strange?
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: is wondering what is happening::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.  Shall I launch a probe to try and boost our signal?
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I am picking up some type of background signal. It has quite a regular beat to it.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Please do.
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Walks to the ENG Console:: Computer: Transfer Engineering to the Bridge.
TO_Marcus says:
::works on identifying the signal::
Merak says:
@AT: I am Merak, Minister of this city. This is Marem, my sub minister, don't mind his large tummy.
FCO_Rofax says:
::prepares probe for launch and releases it into planet's atmosphere::
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Are you able to isolate and identify the signal?
TO_Marcus says:
XO: No sir, it is incredibly weak. I do not recognize it as any form of communications yet in our database.
Marem says:
@ ::rubs his belly... drinks some juice from his bag::
FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::Attempts to locate the Away Team:: ~~~
TO_Marcus says:
XO: It ... seems... to be coming from near where the AT's last signal was
Merak says:
@AT: I must say you people look very strange
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: tries to scan the beings::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders if she can shoot these guys yet::
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Try boosting the signal. Coordinate your efforts with the EO.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::avoids rolling his eyes:: Merak: And I must say you're avoiding my question.
FCO_Rofax says:
::recalibrates random frequency scan, looking for any sign of the Away Team::
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns at that:: TO: Can it be the AT?
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Well, we happen to have any power left that's not being put into life support or the shields?
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: attempts telepathic contact with the beings::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::still trying to figure out what happened::
Merak says:
@::Exchanges a look with Marem:: CSO: Well ummmm let's just say that you are our size.
FCO_Rofax says:
::out loud::  Self:  Arg!  ::shakes head from side to side and drops telepathic link::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I can't confirm or deny that possibility. It is possible the signal was there before and I didn't pick it up until a closer examination, it's possible it's new. I'm sorry I don't have more information.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::not liking the implication at all:: Merak: What do you mean, exactly, when you say "your size"?
EO_Chamberlain says:
TO/XO: I am boosting power from Aux. Power.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Allocate extra power to the TO's efforts.
Marem says:
@ ::smiles at what Merak said::
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: CSO: If you are receiving this message, we are unable to locate your signal. Attempt to recontact us and boost transmission power.... 
CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: Something is weird, they appear to be in perfect health, and I mean :: whispers:: PERFECT!
Host XO_Zax says:
::smiles in approval at the EO:: EO: Thank you, Lt.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Perfect?
Merak says:
@CSO: Ummmmm I mean you are now smaller than your normal size
FCO_Rofax says:
XO:  Aye Cmdr.   I am detecting multiple minds present, very faint.  I attempted to tele-locate the AT, but there was too much interference, too many of them....
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Understood. Time is ticking down to find them.... we need everything the ship can muster....
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks shocked at Merak's statement::
CSO_Gunther says:
@::scans himself to verify the molecular compression::
FCO_Rofax says:
::re-routes power to TO's console::
Marem says:
@ CSO: You were close to stepping on us. That's why I had the board and the nail.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Change us back!
CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: As in Absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with them at all
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns:: FCO: Multiple minds? As in humanoid?
CSO_Gunther says:
@::sighs:: CTO/CMO: Put your phasers away...they won't have any effect.
Merak says:
@AT: Well we had to shrink you, you were about to crush our city with you feet, and I cannot allow it
CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~:: scans for an ulterior motive::~~~~
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::whispers::  CSO:  The CMO reports these guys are in too perfect health.
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Communications are as amplified as I think we can safely go... Unless the Chamberlain has some ideas, I can't detect anything that looks federation.
EO_Chamberlain says:
XO/TO: I am taking LRS offline and re-routing its power to the TO.
Merak says:
@AT: And I demand that you state the nature of your presence here
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I think I have something...... Sir, It looks Romulan!
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods:: TO: Continue to coordinate with the EO.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::holsters her phaser reluctantly::  CSO:  Why won't phasers work?
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Takes the LRS offline::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: I can only presume, Cmdr.  There were too many of them.... thousands perhaps....  I could not find them, Cmdr.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: ETA of the storm?
TO_Marcus says:
EO: ::points at a signal he is working on:: Is it me, or is that Romulan?
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: I thought scans didn't detect any humanoid life signs?
CSO_Gunther says:
@CTO: There isn't enough space between their molecules to affect them with a phaser blast. Or us, for that matter.
EO_Chamberlain says:
TO: Romulan?
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Looks at the signal output::
Merak says:
@AT: Well.....I'm waiting
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Well, it's been a long time since I ever looked at a Romulan signal.... but this brings back some memories....
Marem says:
@ ::curious of the AT's hostility:: AT: If you shoot us with your ray gun... you won't return to your normal size.
Host XO_Zax says:
::considers sending a second AT....but knows what usually happens when they do that::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::shakes her head not getting it all::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, they weren't.  I am Ullian ma'am.  I possess telepathic abilities and attempted to contact the away team.
CSO_Gunther says:
@Merak: We are investigating the presence of the mineral corstag, and an odd communication signal we detected.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Ion storm is 1hr, 40min away now, Cmdr...
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Lets see... translator seems to be making it as them coming to help extract the mineral... can you localize where the signal is coming from? That wouldn't be the planet.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: I am aware of your race and abilities, ensign. I’m questioning why sensors have not identified these "Minds"?
Merak says:
@::Tilts head:: Marem: Marem? Did we find anything of what they just told us?
CSO_Gunther says:
@::whispers:: CTO: Their molecular density isn't quite as extreme as ours...so they can be damaged, if it comes to that. We can't be, though.
Marem says:
@ Merak: I'm not in charge of communications. I wouldn't know. And the substance... may be too far from our reach.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Understood Cmdr.  I am unsure why sensors have not detected anyone.  My suspicions lie with the ionization and radiation.
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::whispers::  CSO:  We can't?  Cool.
EO_Chamberlain says:
TO: I have to put the LRS back online.
CSO_Gunther says:
@Merak: We detected it in that mountain over there. ::points::
Host XO_Zax says:
EO: Can you boost the FCO's telepathic signal so that he can focus his telepathy upon the CMO?
TO_Marcus says:
EO: Getting anything? Romulans might be cloaked, but I have a feeling they'd prefer their shields with the ionization.
Merak says:
@::Looks over to the mountains, thinks::
Marem says:
@ ::sees the huge... huge... huge mountain and sighs::
FCO_Rofax says:
::attempts to reconfigure the deflector dish to AT's last location::
CSO_Gunther says:
@Merak: We had no idea that you were here. Now that we know, we can take measures to not...ummm...step on you. So, if you'd be so kind as to restore us to our previous size....
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::nods her head enthusiastically in support of the CSO's request::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: tries contacting the ship telepathically:: ~~~~COM: FCO: Can you hear me?~~~~
Host XO_Zax says:
::is getting concerned::
Merak says:
@::Looks over to Marem:: Marem: What do you think Marem?
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: I can focus on the CMO.  I have studied his personnel file....
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I think I might have a Romulan ship on sensors. ETA is 30 minutes give or take. I believe that is where I am getting the Romulan signal from.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Please try.
EO_Chamberlain says:
XO: I am not sure how, sir. But give me a second and I'll see. ::Grabs a Padd and begins calculations::
CSO_Gunther says:
@::scans some more:: Merak: On second thought...you mind if we have a look around first? There are large amounts of corstag right here.
Marem says:
@ Marek: Maybe they can set up small beacons that would make people aware of where we are... so we aren't crushed. They could help.
TO_Marcus says:
::busies himself working on the Romulans since the EO is now busy again::
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: A Romulan vessel? Not surprising as we are here at their bequest. Are you able to establish contact?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::frowns at the CSO's most recent statement::
Merak says:
@::remembers something:: AT: I'm afraid I have bad news for you
TO_Marcus says:
XO: Been trying to establish location. I believe I can attempt to establish communications now.
Host XO_Zax says:
::rubs her eyes lightly as she begins to get a headache::
FCO_Rofax says:
~~~  ::focuses on CMO's data from personnel file::  CMO: Can you here me?  It's Ens. Rofax.  Where are you? ~~~
CSO_Gunther says:
@::frowns:: Merak: What do you mean, "bad news"?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::glares at Merak::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: hears a slight whisper and looks around not knowing where it came from::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Cross references the Medical Database and the article “Telepathic Contact and Boosting Plasma Power into one's skull”::
Merak says:
@::Panics a little:: AT: Well.....ummmm......about returning you to you normal size!! We ummm seem to be missing the device to do that
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Make it so, Lt.
Marem says:
@ ::wonders if the AT is going to retaliate at the bad news: CSO: I think I might know where it is... maybe...
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: Romulan Vessel: This is the USS Blishe. Due to the ionization we are having communications and sensor difficulties. 
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Attempts telepathic contact with the ship again::
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Marem:  May I help you look?  ::about ready to kill him::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: The signal interference is pretty bad, but they should know we are here now at least.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::sighs:: Marem: Where, exactly?
Marem says:
@ ::thinks::
FCO_Rofax says:
::knuckles are as white as a sheet as he grasps the console, starts to shake somewhat::
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: The storm? Has it intensified?
Merak says:
@::Thinks:: Marem: Was it the museum?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::notices the CMO's intense concentration and assumes he is still exercising his telepathic abilities::
Host XO_Zax says:
::notices the FCO's "trance" and waits patiently::
Marem says:
@ ::takes a drink of his juice:: Merak: It might be... ::drinks juice:: ... It might just be.
CSO_Gunther says:
@Merem: Is it similar to that device? ::points to the device that apparently shrank them::
Host Terak says:
COMM: Pendragon: This is Cmd. Terak of the Romulan ship Kstondt, we are coming to a..... w.... the mineral.  We should be ther... ....
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Marem/Merak:  well, why don't we go look?
Host XO_Zax says:
::frowns::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Hears the FCO:: ~~~~FCO: I hear you, I don’t know where we are, we are in some kind of city, and we have been shrunk~~~~
FCO_Rofax says:
::whispering and choppy::  XO: Cmdr... I think......... I have reached........ the CMO.  Unsure of their location.....
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Can you clear up that signal?
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::trying to maintain a pleasant expression on her face::
Merak says:
@CTO: ummmmm, I'm afraid it's been disabled.
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Are they unharmed?
TO_Marcus says:
XO: We are umm... sorta getting a message from the Romulan ship. They are the Kstondt and are en route. I wasn't able to make out much else.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  That's okay.  Gunther here can fix just about anything.
Marem says:
@ CSO: I'm quite sure it looks like that device. A... standard design... at least... I think it is. ::drinks some more of his juice::
CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: whispers:: CTO: I have made contact with the ship.  I am trying to tell them our location.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: The CMO... is also unsure.... of location...  ~~~CMO: Are you injured?~~~
Host XO_Zax says:
::sighs:: TO: Ask them to repeat the message.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::nods at the CMO::
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: Kstondt: Your message broke up, however we confirm that you are en route to assist in mineral extraction.
Merak says:
@::Smiles:: AT: Why don't we take a look?
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: The CMO... says they have been........ "shrunk."
CMO_Daetalus says:
@~~~~FCO: None of us are injured save being shrunk.~~~~
CSO_Gunther says:
@::eyes the CTO and decides not to mention that he's not an engineer::
Marem says:
@ ::heads to the museum:: AT: Follow me.
CSO_Gunther says:
@Merak: Yes, let's.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Let's do that.  Lead the way!  ::still trying to maintain a pleasant expression::
Host XO_Zax says:
::looks incredulous:: FCO: Shrunk? Did you say shrunk?
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: No injuries Cmdr...  They report... to be... in a city...
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders why Gunther was eyeing her::
Merak says:
@::Smiles, starts walking to the library::
Marem says:
@ ::walking at a nice pace while drinking a second bottle of juice::
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Records the information on a PADD::
Host Terak says:
COMM:  Pendragon:  Under....... we will.... let......
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::follows along wishing these guys would pick up the pace a bit::
Host XO_Zax says:
EO/TO: You heard him, gentlemen. We need to locate them fast! Before the storm gets here.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Yes Cmdr.... shrunk....
TO_Marcus says:
COMM: Kstondt: Unable to understand your last message. Please repeat.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::follows, scanning for the records:: CTO.CMO: This city is actually built into the base of the mountain...right on top of the corstag.
Merak says:
@::Notices his people staring at his guests, sighs:: Marem: would you umm...take care of calming the people down? I'll take care of my guests
FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO:  Where is this city?  How far from your landing site?~~~
Host XO_Zax says:
FCO: Can they reverse the process?
EO_Chamberlain says:
XO: Aye.
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::whispers::  CSO:  The CMO is in telepathic contact with someone on the ship.
Marem says:
@ ::sees them staring:: Merak: I'll do that.
TO_Marcus says:
XO: I believe the Romulan ship is saying it is underway.... I have not informed them of our away team at this time.
Host XO_Zax says:
TO: Good idea, Lt.
CSO_Gunther says:
@::whispers back:: CTO: Good. Keep me informed...
CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders why everyone is staring at them, and rests her hand on her phaser uneasily::
Host XO_Zax says:
::doesn't like the idea of the AT team being no bigger than gnats::
Merak says:
@::reaches the library:: AT: Welcome to our glorious history ::smiles friendly::
Marem says:
@ ::walks to the crowd of people:: People: We have some peaceful guests... don't worry... calm down. Eat with me... drink with me.
Marem says:
@ ::drinks some more juice::
CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: I don’t know how far it was, but we walked several meters from the shuttle and found a shimmering surface.  Then we were surrounded with a gas and appeared in the city in front of 2 beings.  The CSO is speaking with them now.~~~~
EO_Chamberlain says:
::Records the information and stores it.::
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: Attempting to locate... this city.... unsure if... it can be reversed... ma'am.
Host XO_Zax says:
::remembers an old Earth tale called Gulliver's Travels and tries not to grin::
Merak says:
@ :: Opens the doors for his guests::
TO_Marcus says:
XO: For some reassurance. I believe the away team will be safe from the storm on the planet even if we have to flee. Worst-case scenario we can come back for them.
FCO_Rofax says:
XO: The CMO... is identifying a shimmering object, several meters from the shuttle, it transported them.... into the city...
Host XO_Zax says:
::nods::
CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Have you been able to locate us?~~~~
FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO:  Not yet.  The TO is on it.~~~
CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Try scaning for some sort of holographic projections, that might help you find us~~~~
