U.S.S. Pendragon
10412.11

Relics Pt 2

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Captain's Log - SD 10412.11

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
At the request of the Klingon High Council, the Pendragon is investigating an excavation site located near the border.  Cmdr Toms has taken an Away Team down and will begin primary efforts in setting up base and the dig.  Several Klingon battle cruisers are nearby engaging in war games and heavy celebration, which is not exactly comforting.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
The pace and purpose of this mission will be slow and with all due diligence.  Other than the mysterious force field around the site, I expect things to be uneventful.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Mikal!  Everything under control?

@::standing outside the temporary headquarters tent watching as the rest of the base is finished::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is wearing dark sunglasses::  CO:  Everything is set up in the holodeck, Captain.  ::slips into his seat::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::looks around at the nearly completed base camp... is getting itchy to go to the dig site::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COM: AT: OPS: This is the Captain, go ahead.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: looks up at the sound of Jordan's voice ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@COM: CO:  Just making sure things work Captain.  Looks like we're up and ready to go.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::finally turns to see the XO in sunglasses, but lets it slide::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to the OPS station until Jordan returns::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COM: AT: OPS: Please have someone handle the commstation on that end and return to the ship.  We will need your assistance on this end with monitoring the system and relays.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@COM: CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sounds disappointed::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::checks the charge on the handphaser he liberated from shuttlecraft two's weapon's locker and clips it to his hip::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@::turns to the CSO:: CSO:  Looks like you're set to go.  I have to return to the ship.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@OPS: Aye. Thanks for the help

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: feels the tension leave his shoulders ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@::smiles:: CSO:  Anytime.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@ALL: So who wants to go see some ruins?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@COM: Pendragon.  Pettigrove to Pendragon.  One to beam up.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COM:  OPS:  Standby for transport.  ::initiates::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  Pettigrove rematerializes in the transporter room.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::moves down off the pad and heads for the bridge::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::picks an assistant to look after coms at the base camp, and then starts gathering in his AT to go to the site::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Transport successful, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::smiles warmly::  XO: Thank you.  Please join me in the Ready Room once the Cmdr returns to the bridge.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::enters the TL:: Computer:  Bridge.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Looks at the CSO with a mildly disgusted look on his face and shrugs then follows him::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::would have a puzzled look in his eyes if he wasn't wearing dark glasses::  CO:  Aye.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::enters the bridge and heads towards her station::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves from the OPS station::  OPS:  Welcome back.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Can you please do a scan of the surrounding area. I know it’s not your specialty, but your help is appreciated. ::starts to scan the make up of the dirt, just to see what he can see::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: You have the bridge.   ::turns for the RR::  XO: Mikal?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles:: XO:  Thanks.  But I really wanted to see those ruins.  History is an interest of mine.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::moves to the big chair::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Perhaps we'll get that chance once the site is secure.  ::turns and follows the CO::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning the surrounding area for mineral makeup and geological age::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::enters ahead of the XO and moves to the far side of the desk::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: Everything OK down there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::follows the CO and stands at attention::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Everything was fine.  ~~~ CEO:  Did you miss me? ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: At ease.  ::offers a seat and sits as well::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@::walks up to the CSO:: CSO: Commander, I've finished scouting the perimeter and am reporting that all is secure

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hesitantly takes a seat::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Feeling okay?  ::looks to the sunglasses inquisitively::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO:Thank you. When we get close enough, I would like you to do a detailed scan of the shield that’s up around this place. Mostly, I would like you to find the source of it please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Just a little photosensitive, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
~~~ OPS: Of course. And I was worried, too... but I have to remind myself that you're an experienced officer, and have been at this longer than I have. ~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::clears his throat::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: Shouldn't prove to be too much of a problem, as soon as we get close enough ::configures his tricorder::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  How are the power relays holding up ::gets up and moves over to join him::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Self-induced?  ::leans forward as if he can see right through the sunglasses::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: Thank you ::goes back to looking at dirt::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: No major fluctuations. I have teams standing by to make repairs, or effect EPS bypasses if it comes to that. I'm not worried.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::heads over the next rise::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::removes the sunglasses::  CO:  I'd rather not discuss it.  ::eyes are swollen and red::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  This is a simple scientific mission ... ::said as if she knows something will go wrong::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: In Klingon space. Simplicity is not to be counted on, here.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::looks down to the dig site::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Very well then.  ::clears his throat and speaks rather loudly, certainly loud enough to be uncomfortable to someone with a hangover::  I have a request for you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Well, that is one area where you have been at this longer than I have ::grins as she sensed his earlier thought::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::keeps scanning the surrounding area and ignores the dig site mostly::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his sunglasses back on::  CO:  I'm listening.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: Things were very different when Malia was in Starfleet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  The tactical console beeps

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  You'll have to tell me all about your past lives ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::is looking at a mostly intact city, marble and such:: Self: Now this is the place to work

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: You should be in range to start getting readings.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@::begins scanning the area::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: That'll take a while. We'll have no shortage of dinner conversation, I can assure you.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: What have you gotten so far?

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: Yes, I'm working now

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: looks over to the Tac console ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::laughs ... hears the tac console and heads over to it::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::reads the output::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO: Not much out of the ordinary...that I can tell anyhow.  Standard ageing and composition for this environment.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I'm picking up Klingon weapons fire ... looks like they're at their games again.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::scans the shield::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: I am unsure what has put this behavior back into you, but if you continue on such a path, I am afraid of the consequences.  I want you to beam to the surface and keep tabs on Mr. Toms, but do not allow yourself to be seen or detected.  Locate a remote area and start there.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: Are their weapons still set at war game power levels?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::continues::  XO: I have the frequency and signal modulation of his tricorder and commbadge.  You will be able to hear and see what he sees.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You must be joking.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: I do not hear either of us laughing, Mikal.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You don't trust him?!

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Looks like it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Are you able to get anything out of that town of there, age and such?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::turns the station over to a junior tactical officer and moves back over to join the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: Well, best we can hope for is that they don't decide to include us in the playing field.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: No, Mikal.  At the moment.... I do not trust you.  ::sighs and stands to look away::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: I'm reading that the shield is basically to control the weather, it's not really relevant from a limitations standpoint::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Sir?  I think I deserve an explanation.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Take a look in the mirror Mikal, without the sunglasses.  Dismissed....

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::snaps tricorder shut:: CSO: Basic weather umbrella type thing

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: Do you think you'd be able to find a frequency or some such that would allow us to transport in and out? Even if it was only from there to base camp??

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You don't understand.  ::turns and leaves::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  So, when do you think we can have that dinner ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::sighs as the doors open and shut and then returns to his desk::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
#CSO: From here, we have line of sight to the ruins....we can basically beam "under" it

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CO:  You are mistaken, Sir.~~~  ::walks straight to the TL without acknowledging anyone on the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: smiles :: OPS: I'm hoping for more than one. I'd like the first one to be as soon as possible.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: There are generators within the field that we'd have to adjust for, but we can do it

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::senses something with Mikal:: ~~~ XO:  What is it? ~~~

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO:So if we moved base camp here, then we'd be able to beam in and out pretty easily yes?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is too furious to respond to OPS::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Well, assuming everything goes to plan here ... how about tonight?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the TL::  TL:  Transporter room.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: Just as long as it's outside the perimeter of the field. The base that is.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: smiles even more broadly :: OPS: Done.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::begins scanning the ruins for weathering patterns and depth of the surrounding bedrock::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::accesses the terminal and retrieves the XO's personnel records::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: Excellent.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@COM: Pen: AT to Pendragon.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I haven't had a chance to teach you what bonding with a telepath means ... perhaps I can teach you ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  As the sun reaches its zenith, the sand begins to heat up

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: CSO:  Go ahead, Commander.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks numerous unkind thoughts about Ullian know-it-alls as he proceeds to the transporter room::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: A standard set of pattern enhancers would be all we need to be 100% safe

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::is standing in the hot sun in a mostly black uniform::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@COM: Pen: We've had a little bit of luck. From were we're standing, the EO reckons we can beam under the shield thingy. There fore I’m going to move base camp to our current location. this should make transportation easier.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::keeps scanning the city trying to figure out what its age is and how long ago the residents left::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::indulges in a satisfying wallow of self-pity as he prepares to beam down::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: I am told I am a quick study. But... don't do anything that will cause you pain. I got the sense, back in that Jolian jail cell, that long-term telepathic contact is not easy for you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
@COM: CSO:  Acknowledged.  Stand by.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  It can be difficult, yes.  But this is very different.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::starts to feel the heat:: FCO/EO: This heat could be a problem. I wonder how hot it gets here?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  There is a movement in the sand near the FCO.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: I'll follow your lead. Take it at whatever speed is comfortable for you.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::pauses what he was doing and looks up::  *OPS* Go ahead, Commander.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Steps away from the movement and scans it quickly reaching for his hand phaser simultaneously::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::notices the FCO move:: FCO: What is it??

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  A snake sort of thing rears up, fangs bared and looks about to lunge

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*: Communication from the AT Commander.  Lt Cmdr Toms wants to move the base camp closer to the ruins.  They say they've also found a way to beam under the shield protecting the ruins.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::clears throat:: CSO: Commander?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::calmly shoots the snake...twice::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: Yes??

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Set to go, Captain.  Are you absolutely certain about this?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  The snake passes on

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*OPS* The Away Team is under his command.  It's his call.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO:The natives are getting restless.  Keep the base camp where it is.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Understood.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: Maybe this place is a monument. And being protected. By the weather shield...you never know

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*XO* Mikal, if you have another idea to better explain the situation, I am all ears.....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
COM: CSO:  Pendragon to away Team.  Commander you have a go to move base camp.  Captain says it's your call.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Scan the area, tell me how common those snake things are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Explain what "situation" Sir?  ::sounds a bit sarcastic on the last word::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@COM: Pen: Thank you, Commander. We've just encountered our first life form, a snake like thing. Will keep you informed. AT out.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*XO* I see.  You have you orders.  ::cuts the comm::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::seething with frustration::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::scans the dead snake than scans the surrounding area and shakes his head:: CSO: I'm showing three more of the aliens within a mile of here...but I don't think that we want to expose the security team to them...it is a nasty critter.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grabs a nearby PADD and records a few things.  Addresses it to the CO, then steps onto the transporter pad::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::shudders as she hates snakes ... is now very glad she is on the ship rather than on the planet::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Whats to say that they aren't around the base camp now?? Plus a base camp here is more fortuitous to us. We're going to move it, but latter, after we've had a look around the ruins.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO: Yes sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: By the way, was it venomous???

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::returns to the console and continues what he was working on::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO: Yes sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  Mikal materializes on the surface, on the opposite side of the "ruins" from the AT.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  By the way ... did I ever tell you how much I don't like snakes ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  The OPS panel beeps.

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
OPS: Few humanoids do. Malia was terrified of them.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::walking along with the men:: FCO: Hey...I think our commander here is afraid of snakes

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Very well, get anything you can on the venom and send it to the Pendragon, see if they can’t start working on a solution to it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::gets something on the OPS console.  checks::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Hold that thought for a minute::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: continues to check ship's systems, especially power to the sensor palettes ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: I’m afraid of venom, Lt, but snakes in general don't worry me.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks at the snake for a moment and scans it from a safe distance forwarding the biological data to the Pendragon::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::Continues on to the city::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees the transporter log and frowns:: Self:  That’s odd ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::closes the file and exits to the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::walks toward the city, still seething with anger and frustration::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain ... Transporter logs have registered that Cmdr Luchena has beamed to the surface ...

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: So serious.  We're on an adventure ::genuine smile::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  A little critter zips by the away team.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Yes, and at my request.  The XO is working on something for me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::comes to the force field and hesitates::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Understood.  The away team has reported they have run into a life form down there ... some sort of snake ...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::continues scanning the snake for a few moments more and forwards the data to the Pendragon than slaps a small transponder on it and has it transported to the base camp’s biological containment jar::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Dangerous?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: I know. When we get into town, you find us the source for that shield and do what ever it is you need to. Then we're going to have a quick look around to see whets what, then back to camp to start the move

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I don't know, Sir.  They didn't elaborate

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  Another little critter zips by the away team, with a snake thingy in hot pursuit

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: Sounds like a plan to me

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Have you noticed the little furry things running round???

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I'm getting data from the surface ...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO: The snake needs something to eat.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::walks right through the field into the city::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Very well.  Have the Away Team retrieve a DNA sample for testing and cataloging....  Data?  Please elaborate.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Better them then us yes?? ::smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Seems they've read your mind, Sir.  It's scans and analysis of the snake they encountered ...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::watches the snake dematerialize:: CSO: Lets press on.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~CO:  Force field is permeable and doesn't appear to be harmful.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Noted.  Notify the Science lab and have them coordinate with Commander Toms' team.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::approaching the outskirts of the city::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends the notification and the orders::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@::scans for the shield generators::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ XO: That is good news Mikal.  Does the harmlessness have any effect on a sour demeanor? ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::notes the distaste in Mikal's thoughts::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks up to see the CSO ahead and rushes to catch up::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::stops and takes a deep breath::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::notes that the city looks more like a small village, a few buildings around a central market, and a one big building in the middle::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::feels a slight tingle as he passes through the shield::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::keeps walking toward the center::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks at the layout::CSO: Any power generation facilities would be in that center building.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Action:  Tactical console beeps again

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Agreed. Lets go have a look see. ::Heads off to the central building::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::continues scanning the area for the small life forms now as he follows the CSO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::slaves tac to her console and checks what the beeping is about::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::stops and stares in disbelief as he enters what seems to be a large open market::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::Enters the market, is amazed to see that it is mostly intact, with stalls and goods still stand where they are::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::begins to feel concerned:: CO:  Sir, the Klingon war games appear to be moving closer to our position ...

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::looks curiously at the stalls and scans them again trying to figure out their age::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Get me some dates on these goods please. Find out how long they’ve been sitting there

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@EO: Where is my power generator??

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::sees Toms and his party.  Makes a break for the building in the center::

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
@CSO: It's right here. These things are pretty much self-contained now. Just plug and go.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::notices movement, but shakes it off as on of the critters that have been floating around::

CEO_Lt_Thraxis says:
:: hears Pettigrove's comment, rechecks power levels, preparing to divert to shields if needed ::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Noted.  Please advise them of the minimum distances from non-participants for war games, as accepted by SFC and the High Council.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I'm ready to shift orbit if we need to.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::prepares the message and sends it to the Klingons ... ::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@CSO: I wouldn't eat any of this if I were you.  It is all at least a couple thousand years old...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: No.  We are not moving.  Standby Yellow Alert, however and raise shields if they come within range.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::enters the building and stops.  Overcome with pure wonder::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::places the ship on standby yellow alert::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::checks the life form readings, and sees something large near the central building...than recalibrates because no one else is on the planet...right?::
