::Enroute to the shuttle bay to meet with the CO::

CSO Wilks says:
:: at science on bridge::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: at flight control ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::in the shuttle::

OPS Stidd says:
::Enters shuttle:: CO: Do you have a minute, sir?

Host CO von Krieg says:
::looks at the buttons on the uniform he wears, counts then as if to make sure they are all in place::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: at flight control on the shuttle ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
OPS:I do. Report, Lt. ::moves out of the shuttle to meet Stidd::

OPS Stidd says:
CO: Did you notice the codes at the bottom of my last report?

Host CO von Krieg says:
::reflexively smoothes the creases in the uniform::

Host CO von Krieg says:
OPS: I did.  I assume they are some type of access?

OPS Stidd says:
::Notices the CO's actions and raises an eyebrow::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::looking at the uniform:: OPS: These are very accurate, Mr. Stidd.

OPS Stidd says:
CO: They are copy codes.  All of my written correspondence has them, even my logs.  I don’t know who to trust at this point but you seemed a good place to start.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: checks coordinates and route to the planet ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::images of Horn and Williams flash through his mind:: OPS: Another conspiracy?

OPS Stidd says:
CO: Thank you sir.  Someone is copying my correspondence and using it but I am unable to tell who.

CSO Wilks says:
:: stands and walks around bridge::

OPS Stidd says:
CO:I believe the continuation of an old one sir.

Host CO von Krieg says:
*CSO*: Mr. Wilks, report for away team. You may pickup your gear at the launch bay.

CSO Wilks says:
*CO*: on my way sir

FCO Qwynn says:
:: continuing pre-launch checks ::

OPS Stidd says:
CO: This all started when we had our memories altered while dealing with those prisoners a while back, Do you remember that incident?

CSO Wilks says:
:: enters TL:: TL: shuttle bay

Host CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Is this a threat to the ship?

Host CO von Krieg says:
::nods::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: contemplates why Stidd has been avoiding her, then begins to consider if Stidd will need any special equipment for this away mission ::

OPS Stidd says:
CO:I don’t know at this time, but I do know that it is a threat to me.

CSO Wilks says:
:: exits TL:: and sees stuff on the side of the shuttle and picks it up and enters the shuttle::

CSO Wilks says:
CO: Sorry I’m late, sir

OPS Stidd says:
CO:I just thought you should be aware of it and we can discuss this further later, sir.

Host CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Then it is a threat to us all. ::nods to CSO:: Let's ship.

CSO Wilks says:
:: takes nearest open seat::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::enters the shuttle::

OPS Stidd says:
::Enters the ship and dons his helmet::

Host CO von Krieg says:

ACTION: The bridge gives Flight clearance to the shuttle bays and the Elevator lowers the little ship into the inky depths of space.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: eases the shuttle out of the bay ::

CSO Wilks says:
:: monitors shuttle sensors ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
All: I do not know why these people are wearing the uniform of New Prussia. Our history makes no mention of even being in this sector.

OPS Stidd says:
ALL: I believe it is further proof of the ties to the post Eugenics wars ship that landed here all those years ago.

Host CO von Krieg says:
::to self:: They'd never send cadets out this far...

OPS Stidd says:
ALL: That, or proof of interference from outside influences.

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Shuttle Cleopatra speeds to the atmospheric insertion point.

OPS Stidd says:
CO: Do you agree with those assessments, sir?

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: Approaching insertion point, Captain.

Host CO von Krieg says:
All: Our government has allowed its forces to act on "police" missions in the past....If we encounter NPP units, follow my lead.

CSO Wilks says:
CO: there’s some air craft in the atmosphere, other than that we're all good

OPS Stidd says:
CO: Aye sir, Your lead.

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: Yes, sir :: nodding ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Avoid contact if possible. This planet is still under the protection of General Order One.

Host CO von Krieg says:
All: Discipline among the Prussians is very unlike Starfleet.

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: Stealth mode assumed, sir.

OPS Stidd says:
::Begins running passive scans of the target landing zone::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: listens to the Captain in case he's going to tell a story, she likes it when the Captain tells stories ::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: maintaining positioning using maneuvering thrusters only ::

Host CO von Krieg says:

:: watches sensors ::

Host John A says:
ACTION: the shuttle slips into the atmosphere and circle down for the landing site, several Kilometers from the Gor HQ

OPS Stidd says:
FCO: Landing zone shows all clear.  Cleared for continued descent.

FCO Qwynn says:
OPS: Thank you, sir.  

FCO Qwynn says:
:: continues descent carefully yet quickly ::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: prepares final landing sequence ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::smiles slightly:: All: A hard walk in.  Just like the old days. ::checks to see if his Type one phaser is secure. Checks the safety lock on the laser pistol at his side::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: feels the slight bump as they land and smiles to herself ::

CSO Wilks says:
CO: sir, we have three hover jets approaching on an intercept course

FCO Qwynn says:
:: extends stabilizer and unlocks door ::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: reengage lock ::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: scouting for an enclosed location ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Mr. Qwynn, a solution please.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: checks ground composition ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
CSO: How much time until we make contact?

CSO Wilks says:
CO: about two minutes sir

Host CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Can you get us set down in that time?

Host John A says:
Three Faxian Fighters speed toward the shuttle, As it lands they fly over it and away

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: That rock outcropping was sufficient, sir

OPS Stidd says:
CO: That was a close one, sir.

Host CO von Krieg says:
All: Just like the old days.  We need to observe, record, and report back to the ship. No heroes.:: sternly:: By the book, people.

OPS Stidd says:
::Steps to the door and scans the outside area::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: waits for the others to leave the shuttle ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::clambers out::

OPS Stidd says:
ALL: It appears clear for several kilometers.

CSO Wilks says:
:: steps out of the shuttle after everyone else::

Host CO von Krieg says:
TO: Mr. T'rel, what is your assessment of this situation?

Host CO von Krieg says:
::looks up at the sky::

CSO Wilks says:
:: steps in:: CO: Sir, as an ex tactical officer I haven't observed any severe danger as of yet :: hoping to get the TO off the hook ::

TO TRel says:
 CO: I recommend we proceed with caution. There might be patrols as the Gor base is 5 km. away

OPS Stidd says:
::Looks at Wilks in a severe fashion:: Self: He will not learn if everyone keeps coddling him.

Host CO von Krieg says:
::gets a faraway look in his eyes:: All: Standard patrol pattern. Five meter intervals. We'll blend in.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: brings up the rear of the group, scanning visually as she walks ::

OPS Stidd says:
::Continues scanning the area but follows the CO enroute to the HQ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::the dirt crunches under his black boots::

OPS Stidd says:
::Focuses his Vulcan hearing on the sounds around him and tries to identify them::

Host John A says:
ACTION: The rocky terrain slopes down toward a large valley, where lights can be seen reflecting off the low gray clouds

Host CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Mr. Stidd, does this planet have any resources of note?

OPS Stidd says:
CO: Checking my notes sir.

CSO Wilks says:
:: looks at tricorder for any information ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Lt. do your empathic senses register anything from here?

OPS Stidd says:
CO: It is a standard class M world with some base minerals but nothing of any major consequence, sir.

Host John A says:
ACTION: A loose rock removes itself from under Stidds boot, The man slides a meter or two down the slope

Host CO von Krieg says:
::to self:: Of course they would send men here to die. ::bitterly::

OPS Stidd says:
::Stumbles and tries to catch himself before he falls::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::looks over to Stidd::

All: Halt! Identify your self!

Host Red Squad Leader says:
ACTION: In the still air, The hum of phasers powering to kill level is also heard

Host CO von Krieg says:
::hearing the telltale sound of phaser, he draws his own Type one::

OPS Stidd says:
::Moves towards some cover and tries to get a good aim on the sound locations::

CSO Wilks says:
:: raises phaser ::

Host CO von Krieg says:
Red Squad:: Eagle echo. Werner alpha. ::hopes he can bluff::

TO TRel says:
::lifts phaser::

Host Red Squad Leader says:
:: hears the sign, and notes it's outdated, then motions men to flank::

Host CO von Krieg says:
::to self:: Think! think! Envelop and destroy. Standard maneuver...

Host Red Squad Leader says:
CO: Hawk Echo! Kempler Omega. Approach and be recognized!

Host Red Squad Leader says:
ACTION: The sensitive Vulcan ears in the group, hear the opposing squad leader whisper in a com device

FCO Qwynn says:
:: adjusts her phaser to full power, and her tricorder to also send out EM interference ::

CSO Wilks says:
:: watches everyone from the tree ::

OPS Stidd says:
::Whispers to the CO:: CO: he is using a comm device, try ours in the helmet.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: tries to make visual contact with Stidd to establish the other edge of the flank ::

Host Red Squad Leader says:
Com: Base: Back up at zone 21 Alpha, unknowns approaching, have counter sign, will hold till you arrive.  Oppen out.
