EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Don't worry, I've got it covered. Chief Qorhal will take care of it ::grins again::

FCO_tsol says:
*<OPS>*: FCO: You have clearance.

FCO: Thank You, Let's make it a smooth ride.

FCO_tsol says:
XO: But of course...

FCO_tsol says:
::Heads down through the atmosphere::

Host Savek says:
AS THE SHUTTLE FLIES GRACEFULLY TOWARDS THE LITGHTLY FORRESTED ARE THEY SEE A PANAROMIC VIEW THAT IS REMINESCENT OF THE FABLED GARDEN OF EDEN SAVE FOR A BARE SPOT TO ONE SIDE

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::whispers to the FCO::  FCO:  Maybe just a quick jerk here and there...  just to keep 'em all awake.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::leans back into her seat::

FCO_tsol says:
::Looks insulted at the CNS::  Not likely ma'am ::then smiles::

Marenka says:
@::deep in the forest, hears the drone of the engine, and looks up::  

FCO_tsol says:
::whistles at the view::  My kind of place.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::snaps fingers with a fake sigh::

Galenzoski says:
@::standing beside Marenka::

FCO_tsol says:
::Looking for the clearing, heads the shuttle to the landing spot::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Glances at the CNS, wondering what she said to the FCO::

Galenzoski says:
@::chuckles to self::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::turns her head a little bit::  XO:  So, what exactly is the nature of our mission down here?  Running about with phasers shooting things?  ::offers a little chuckle::

Marenka says:
@::raises an eyebrow at Galenzoski::  Galenzoski:  It must be the Federation party we were told of.  I hope they stay in the designated areas.

CTO_Gleisen says:
::feels a slight pain coming on in his chest, pulls out a hypo from inside his uniform and administers it to himself, then immediately begins to feel better::

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: yes hopefully, but if not I have a few ideas up my sleeve

FCO_tsol says:
XO:  We should be landing in about a minute.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::glances over at the CTO, concerned::

FCO_tsol says:
::Hums under his breath a military march for the CNS::

Marenka says:
@::grins::  Galenzoski:  We'd best make another check; we want to make sure we have plenty of warning for the others; I'd hate for them to miss this

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: I think so....... you feeling excited about that? ::Smiles::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::forgetting the name, she quickly glances at the CTO's pips::  CTO:  Anything wrong, Lieutenant?

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: I agree let’s go!

CTO_Gleisen says:
::notices the CNS and simply looks back at her, defensive of his condition:: CNS: Nothing at all.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gives the XO a slight nod as she turns her attention fully to the CTO::

FCO_tsol says:
::fingers sliding along the console, he brings the ship hovering over the exact spot and gently lands it::

EO_Q`tor says:
::notices CTO administering hypo to himself:: Self:: interesting

FCO_tsol says:
XO:  Commander, we have landed ::Grins::

FCO_tsol says:
::Begins shut down procedures::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::hears the EO:: EO:  eh?

Marenka says:
@::heads off with Galenzoski, in the general direction that the shuttlecraft was last seen::

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: we should hurry if we want to warn everyone.

CTO_Gleisen says:
::uncomfortable with everyone looking at him, he stands up and prepares to leave the shuttle::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::begins to attach a phaser and tricorder to her belt, then looks at the XO to see if he approves::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Unbuckles and stands up:: FCO: Thank you.

EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Oh nothing...just noticed something about our new CTO

Marenka says:
@::grins::

EO_Q`tor says:
::unbuckles and awaits the disembarking orders::

FCO_tsol says:
COMM: Qlb: OPS: This shuttle Rorck.  We have landed safely.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::slaps palm on the door control panel and opens the shuttle::

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: shall we go greet our visitors?

Marenka says:
@::hiking through the forests, stops at the top of a hill, with a clear view looking downward at the shuttle::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO:  hmmm.  You'll have to tell me later.

Host XO-Affleck says:
Crew: OK everyone, standard Away Team equipment for everyone.

FCO_tsol says:
::turns and watches the crew::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::silently grabs a phaser and tricorder as per the XO's orders, then exits the shuttle::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::steps out and takes a quick breath, then pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning the area::

Galenzoski says:
@::walks up behind Marenka:: what are you looking at?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::grabs his fine tuned tricorder, checks and see that it is fully charged::

Marenka says:
@::points::  Galenzoski:  Great, look at that; they landed right near the geyser.... how long before it erupts?

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::waves the tricorder in the direction of the two approaching natives, then folds it back up::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO:  Check that overhead compartment.

FCO_tsol says:
::Waiting for the crew to debark::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO:  Bat'leths

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: about 2 hours

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  Sir... about ninety mines are hidden around the area...

EO_Q`tor says:
::checks setting on phaser and tricorder::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::watches the natives come in, slightly on edge::

FCO_tsol says:
::As the last one leaves, inputs a few command codes then grabs his gear to join the rest::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Grabs a Type-II Phaser and a tricorder::

FCO_tsol says:
::steps down from the airlock and locks the doors::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::decides not to take another step and scans the immediate area to locate all the mines::

Marenka says:
@::grins at Galenzoski::  Galenzoski:  Well, it looks like the Federation visitors might get quite a treat in a bit....  The time nears...

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Steps out the shuttle and waits for everyone to be ready::

EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Not needed ::pulls makl'eth from under the back of his shirt::

FCO_tsol says:
::Swings his pack on::

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: yes it does, let’s go get ready.. ::disappears into the forest::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO: Always trust a Klingon to be prepared ::smiles:::

Marenka says:
@Galenzoski:  Let's head down; I'd hoped they wouldn't be around for this, but it looks like it’s unavoidable.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  Sir... I believe I've found a path through the minefield...

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  Shall I lead the way?

Galenzoski says:
@::turns around and heads back to Marenka and follows her:::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CNS:  believe??

EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Sound advice ::grins::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: Hold up a minute.

Marenka says:
@::heads down the hillside, towards the shuttlecraft and the Federation party::

Host XO-Affleck says:
Crew: Everyone ready?

CTO_Gleisen says:
XO: Yes.

EO_Q`tor says:
XO: Aye sir

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::puts phaser on stun:: XO: Ready.

FCO_tsol says:
::Nods::

Galenzoski says:
@::close behind Marenka::

Galenzoski says:
@::whispers to Marenka:: Marenka: who’s greeting them, Us?

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::raises eyebrows at the XO, then jerks her head towards the people::

Marenka says:
@::arrives near the minefield with Galenzoski, standing in full view, and grins at the Federation Away Team::  All:  Greetings, and welcome!  You have arrived at a most opportune time!

FCO_tsol says:
::Bends down and plucks a purple flower, looking it over, tucks it into a loop hold on his belt::

Host XO-Affleck says:
Crew: OK Marching orders, Yamamato, Siwiak, you guys take the lead, keep us on the safe path.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::continues scanning, then leads the way in the direction of the two approaching natives, avoiding the mines, naturally::  XO:  I recommend we stand a few meters apart... should one go off... ::trails off::

Marenka says:
@::grins at Galenzoski::  Gal:  Well, the others haven't arrived as yet; we might as well greet our visitors.

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: agreed

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::begins to approach the natives, each step being taken slightly easier then the last::

Marenka says:
@:;calls out to the AT::  AT:  Need some help getting out of there?

FCO_tsol says:
::Takes the rear post::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
XO:  Why not scan our phasers across our path on heavy stun.  It should set off the mines in front of us, sir.

CTO_Gleisen says:
::follows close behind the CNS::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: Agreed.

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: And mush up the terrain?

Galenzoski says:
@::gets an evil thought:: Marenka: let me lead them out.. I want them to hear the explosion sound ::grins evilly::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::calls out to the natives::  Marenka:  Thank you, but I think we've almost made it through...

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: Let's go meet the natives...

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::nods at the XO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
XO: Well. Better than being 'blown' up isn't is sir?

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::steps out of the field, beside the two natives::

EO_Q`tor says:
::following along in line::

Galenzoski says:
@::grumbles to self::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CSO: The fact is we don't know how powerful the mines are either...

Marenka says:
::slaps Nevada-Siwiak on the back, hard::  CNS:  Well done!  You didn't die!

FCO_tsol says:
::Whistles through his missing tooth as he follows in the exact foot print of the one before him::

Marenka says:
@::is grinning ear to ear::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gives a short bow::  Natives:  Greetings, I'm Commander Siwiak from the IKS QIb... may I introduce Commander Affleck, the XO...  ::points::

Galenzoski says:
@::goes up to the XO doing the same::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::pulls phaser as Marenka hits the CNS, instinctively, but then put it away::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Follows the CNS to the natives::

Marenka says:
::slaps each one hard on the back, as the introductions are made::  

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::keeps self from stumbling::  Marenka:  Why thanks...

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Nods head:: Greetings.

Marenka says:
All:  Your arrival here is most fortuitously timed!

FCO_tsol says:
::steps back from Marenka as he levers that slap, sidestepping it just a bit::

Galenzoski says:
@::hands the XO a small round device::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
Marenka:  Lovely planet you have here... save that mind field.

Marenka says:
Galenzoski:  The others should be arriving in a few moments, should they not?

Host XO-Affleck says:
::puzzled by the slap on the back but never the less...:: Marenka: Thank you.

FCO_tsol says:
::Stays just off to the side with a crooked grin on his face::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::remembers something in her head, then steps back and remembers the XO's supposed to do the talking::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::scans area with his tricorder for eels::

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: yes they should..

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Looks at the Device Galenzoski is giving him::

Galenzoski says:
@:steps back and chuckles to self::

Marenka says:
CNS:  I am most surprised that you were given access to this particular area of our world.  This is a critical time here, and a long-awaited event is about to occur...  You are most fortunate that you will see what is about to transpire.  ::still grinning;:

Host XO-Affleck says:
Galenzoski: Thank You, but what is it?

CTO_Gleisen says:
::wonders what is with all these people grinning all the time::

Galenzoski says:
@::covers his ears:::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
Marenka:  I'm sure we'll be most honored to witness such an event... just what exactly is about to happen?

FCO_tsol says:
::Looks around wondering what is about to transpire... not remembering anything mentioned in that very short brief::

Galenzoski says:
@::watches as the device goes off::

Marenka says:
::attention turns away, studying a geological structure near their current location::

FCO_tsol says:
::Follows Marenka's glance::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::follows Marenka's gaze to the structure just as the device goes off::

Marenka says:
::hears the boom::  Galenzoski:  That was unnecessary!  ::hides her giggle::

Galenzoski says:
@::looks over at Marenka and chuckles::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::ducks instinctively at the huge noise, pulling out his phaser again::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::instinctively pulls on phaser, then heads for the XO::  XO:  Alright sir?

Galenzoski says:
@Marenka: sorry I couldn't resist

Marenka says:
All:  It is nearly time, the long awaited time is nearing..  You must join in with us; this event is of great significance to our people, and all present must participate in the rituals that mark its arrival

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::offers a forced smile at the two natives::  Galenzoski:  Why.. thank you, I must return the favor someday!

FCO_tsol says:
::Watches the two wishing he had the hand buzzer his mother took away when he was a kid.  He had gotten from some Human trader::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO:  I've got a Baaad feeling about this....

Marenka says:
::attention focused on the geological structure:: All:  We must be silent.  Do as I do.

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Jumps at the noise of the fake mine and drops it then realizes he's not in about five thousand pieces and offers the two natives an unsavory glare::

Galenzoski says:
::follows Marenka's lead::

Marenka says:
::reaches her hands out to either side, to join with those on either side of her, and stands on one foot::

EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: I agree

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::follows the two, offering the XO a sigh::

Marenka says:
::waits for the others::

FCO_tsol says:
::Is a pilot, not a ballerina.  Just watches::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::takes a step back, not wanting to partake in this waste of time::

Marenka says:
::looks around::  All:  It is customary to circle the geyser.  You must participate, or it will be angry

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::clips phaser back on, forcing her hands not to set the thing to level 16 and aim it our their new "friends"::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CNS: Counselor?

CTO_Gleisen says:
::wonders why they were sent here::

Host Savek says:
AS THEY WATCH MANY OTHER NATIVES BEGIN APPEARING SOME WITH NATIVES ON STRETCHERS

Galenzoski says:
::looks back at the CTO:: CTO: Join us please!

EO_Q`tor says:
::grumbles to self:: XO Aye sir

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  It's going to be a long day...

FCO_tsol says:
::Thinks it would be angrier if he fell on his face::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::lets out a long sigh and then joins them, shaking his head::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::follows the native's lead, circling the geyser::

Marenka says:
All:  If you do not join in the ritual, all will be lost

EO_Q`tor says:
::reluctantly joins in the "ceremony"::

Marenka says:
::directs those present to join in a one-footed stance circle around the geyser::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Whispers:: CNS: I'm not sure I trust them right now...

Marenka says:
::checks the state of the geyser, and sees that it is nearing the time::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::ready to pull out his phaser should they try something again::

Host Savek says:
ALL CAN START TO FEEL A RUMBLING STARTING FROM DEEP UNDERGROUND

EO_Q`tor says:
::hears XO and whispers:: XO: I know I don't

Marenka says:
::begins a most annoying high-pitched hum, which all the natives join in on::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::nods at the XO::  XO:  Apparently we're in the presence of religious practical jokesters...

FCO_tsol says:
::Keeping both feet planted, feels the rumbling::

Galenzoski says:
::joins in the hum::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::tricorder scans the geological disturbance::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::feels the rumbling and stands on both feet again, wondering what it is::

Marenka says:
::keeps humming, pitch rising::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::still keeping her balance on one foot::

Host Savek says:
THE GYSER ERRUPTS AND AS PEOPLE ARE TOUCHED BY IT A EUPHORIA COMES OVER THEM AND THE ONES ON THE STRETCHERS GET UP AND DANCE

EO_Q`tor says:
::still keeping one off the ground::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::flips out tricorder and scans the geyser's liquid::

FCO_tsol says:
::watching::  most interesting...  ::tries to avoid any of the drops::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::looks around at everyone, not having been touched yet by any of the geyser's liquid::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::scans the people on the stretcher and the substance from the eruption::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Still with 2 feet firmly on the ground, watches the geyser blow::

EO_Q`tor says:
::glad I'm standing on the upwind side of the geyser::

Marenka says:
::lets out a loud screech as the eruption occurs, and breaks out of her one footed stance, grabbing the nearest officer, which happens to be Q'Tor, and swings him around in a joyous dance::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CSO: Report. What's going on?

Galenzoski says:
::Grabs Affleck and dances with him in joyous dance:::

EO_Q`tor says:
::shocked looks over pleadingly at the XO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::raises and eyebrow:: XO:  Unknown sir.

FCO_tsol says:
::tires not to laugh as the klingon finds himself in a round dance::

FCO_tsol says:
<Tries>

Marenka says:
::keeps spinning Q'Tor round and round::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::grabs her long hair, then pulls it from end to end and watches the liquid spill to her feet::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
XO:  I would surmise that the liquid is affecting the central nervous system.  I would advise avoiding it at all costs.

EO_Q`tor says:
::looking around desperately for someone to help me out of this situation::

Marenka says:
:;lets go of Q'Tor, sending him spinning into another group of natives, and grabs Gleisen into a dance::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Doesn't resist the native's dancing but doesn't join in enthusiastically...::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::almost pulled off his feet as he's spun found and round::

Marenka says:
::spots Yamamoto being way too practical over there, and scoops up some goo, sending it flying in his direction::

Host XO-Affleck says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  Sir... the liquid appears to be made of unknown elements... they appear to heal aliments as well as produce a... drunken effect

Host XO-Affleck says:
Crew: try to avoid the water.

FCO_tsol says:
::Looks over at the XO wondering if it was time to go back to the shuttle::

Galenzoski says:
@::grabs some goo and drops it down Afflecks uniform::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
XO:  There is a record of liquids causing this kind of affect.  A ninety-year-old report and an twelve-year-old report.  Both from the USS Enterprise.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gets a wide smile and begins jumping around, dragging the XO to the center of the geyser::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
XO: SIR!!

Marenka says:
:;releases Gleisen, and dances around, looking for her next victim::

EO_Q`tor says:
::being bounced around helplessly by the natives desperately wanting to shoot them::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::pulls out his phaser, backs away slowly from the geyser::

FCO_tsol says:
::Pulls out his communicator, ready to hit the recall button::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::Spins around, letting go of Affleck and grabbing Marenka::  Marenka:  Wee....!

Marenka says:
::backs into Yamamoto, and grabs him, spinning him into a dance and sending his phaser spinning into a pile of goo::

Host Savek says:
THE GYSER STOPS IT'S GUSHING

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
Self:  Awww...

CSO_Yamamoto says:
COM: *transporter room*: Lock onto Lt. Q’Tor and relay transport him to my position.

CTO_Gleisen says:
::lying on the ground, laughing his head off, soaked in the goo::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::begins to shake head::

FCO_tsol says:
::Watching the proceeding with lopsided grin, but finger hovering over the recall button::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Gets soaked in the water just before the geyser stops::

Marenka says:
:;continues the celebration, tossing goo around freely::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::begins to laugh uncontrollably, feeling a little.... very... "giddy"::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::runs tricorder over herself::

CTO_Gleisen says:
::laughing turns to coughing as he swallows some goo::

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::grabs hold of the XO::  XO:  Sir... I think we're all getting a little drunk.

EO_Q`tor says:
::starting to get into the spirit suddenly Lt. Yamamato is in front of him::

EO_Q`tor says:
<Yamamato even>

Marenka says:
::sees the FCO, and tosses some goo her way::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
EO: Don't touch anyone.

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::tugs at the mini medical kit at her belt and pulls on a hypo, creating a serum that should counteract the effects::

EO_Q`tor says:
::slaps CSO on the back:: CSO: Lieutenant!!!

CNS_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gives her self a shot, then injects it into the XO's arm::

EO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Where is the bloodwine?

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Laughs at the CNS:: CNS: A Little? ::continues laughing::

Host XO-Affleck says:
::Grabs the CNS and starts dancing with her::
