MO_Pope says:
::gets up and heads over the FCO and checks his wound::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::Releases harness:: MO: Tend to the FCO.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO: Atmosphere?

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CEO: Damage Reports.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: Checking.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: Breathable, but just barely.  High concentration of methane and sulfuric acid.  I suggest masks and not to be out longer than 30min.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Minor structural damage sir

MO_Pope says:
::looks at the gash on the FCO's head and pulls out the regenerater from his medkit::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO:  What's the terrain like?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: Covered with thick vegetation.  Some not more than 2 meters from our bow.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::gets engineering kit:: CO: I can have the damage repaired in just a few minutes sir, but I will have to do it from outside

MO_Pope says:
::finishes with the FCO's wound and give him a hypo::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO:  Must be some hardy plants to survive this atmosphere for long.  Also readings of animal lifesigns.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::checks to make sure mak'leth is still tucked under the back of his tunic::

MO_Pope says:
FCO:  You'll be but no strenuos activities for a while and you may have a headache for a while

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO: I remember when I was a Science officer on the Hathor, my Chief told me 'Life will always find a way...'. I guess it fits, though I've usually quoted it in a differnet context... ::Smiles::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: I suggest that we arm the away team with non-EM powered weapons if possible.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO: The shuttle equipped with an TR-116s?

FCO_Ranahi says:
MO: Understood.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: We need to get to our courier pilot right away, sir.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Sir, request permission to exit shuttle to affect repairs

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CEO: Granted.

OPS_Rodz says:
CO: I will help the CEO

CEO_Q`tor says:
::opens shuttle doors and looks around

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO: Agreed.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO:  We don't know how long the ship was down here and this atmosphere isn't good for the skin if you know what I mean.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
OPS/CEO: You two get to work on repairs.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: Aye sir.

ACTION  What they see when they open the panel is a mess of melted wiring and several circuit breakers blown clean out of the holders

MO_Pope says:
CO:  Aye sir  ::gets up and grabs the medkit::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CO: Lock and load

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
MO: Do we have any kinda of anlegesics to give some extra protection against the atmosphere?

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: That doesn't look good

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
FCO: You don't look fine, stay here and assist with repairs.

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir....

CSO_Yamamoto says:
All: Grab the beer Jethro, were going huntin'

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Looks wqorse than it actually is. If you could be so kind as to retrieve some power relays from inside I can have this fixed in just a few minutes

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::Goes tot he back of the shuttel and gets his gear, a Survival Pacxk, Mask and TR-116.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::

CEO_Q`tor says:
<worse>

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: Aye Sir ::goes inside to get it::

MO_Pope says:
::grabs a survival pack, mask and TR-116::  CO:  Vaseline might help protect any exposed skin areas

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
MO: How about we just use gloves?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::opens tricorder, scans the area for animal life and direction of crash site::

MO_Pope says:
CO:  That will just as well

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::exits the shuttle::  CO:  Who's on point?

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
Vasaline would reduce our grip on equipment.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::starts removing burnt circuits::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::makes sure he is still carrying his phaser::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CSO/MO: Time is awastin'. Let's get goin.

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: Here you go. Anything else?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Takes a deep breath:: OPS: Invigorating...isn't it?

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: Sure

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO: not too much farther.  about 10 meters.  Can't make it out through the trees, if you can call them that.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO, MO: Hold.  ::whispers and points:: over there.  Locals.

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: This should do it ::starts placing new power circuits and relays in panel::

MO_Pope says:
@::stops looks in the directions the CO is indicating::

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: Good ::looks around::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@::Stops:: CSO: You think they’re sentient?

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::Drops Rifle down, dangling it down by his leg::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO, MO: Look like early man on Earth.  They have tools ::points at clubs, makes clubbing motion::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Finishes replacing new circuits, taps comm badge:: *FCO*: Mr Ranahi, if you could please read the damage control console and let me know if everything here is in order?

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: Can we avoid them?

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: So you think there will be an occasion when the Challenger won't get all busted?

FCO_Ranahi says:
*CEO* I'll try, sir....

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO: It would take precious time that our pilot doesn't have sir.

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Compared to previous missions we have taken it out on, this is one of those missions

FCO_Ranahi says:
*CEO* Um, there's problem with one of the console circuits to the Core....

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO:  I could lead them away from your path and you and the doc can get to the pilot.  I'll rendevous with you later.

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: I'll se how the FCO is doing

CEO_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: Very well, I'll have to repair that from inside

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: We're done out here anyway

OPS_Rodz says:
::goes back in the shuttle:: FCO: how are you doing?

FCO_Ranahi says:
*CEO* I think it's circuit ID 32b, but I'm not sure

CEO_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: We're on our way

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: Um, okay, I guess.....I'm not sure.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: Protecting General Order One is more important.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::re-enters shuttle and goes directly to affected console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO: Understood.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: I'd rather avoid them all together.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::opens up panel and finds the affected circuit:: FCO: Ahh here we go

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO, MO:  This way to go around them.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Pulls blown circuit and replaces with a new one::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@::NOds and follows the CSO::

MO_Pope says:
@::follows the CO and CSO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::quietly moves through the "jungle"::

FCO_Ranahi says:
OPS: I think we need to move the shuttle round before we leave, sir.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::exits to "clearing" made from impact of crash::

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Do we have a transporter lock on the Captain and his party?

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: hold on

OPS_Rodz says:
::goes to the console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::finds the pilot, puts his mask on him::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO, MO:  Over here!

MO_Pope says:
::moves over to the piliot and runs his tricorder over him::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@::Enters the crash site...:: Let's get this sorted out.

ACTION  As the Away Team  Arrives at the shutle they see a distorted wreckage with the door ajar

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@*OPS* Awayteam to shuttle, We've located the pilot, do you have transporter locks?

OPS_Rodz says:
::starts tapping on it::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO: ::points at each item::  Flight data recorder, sealed courier pack, and self destruct.

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO* On esecond sir

OPS_Rodz says:
<One>

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Checks sensors and notices other life signs close to the AT position::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: We can't use the self destruct.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::removes FDC and courier package.  CO: Why?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO:  Better than leaving this technology sitting here isn't it?

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO* transporter is ready sir. Waiting for your orders

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: The original plan to do so didn't account for sentient life, Starfleet will have to send a clean-up crew.

MO_Pope says:
@CO:  The piliot has 5 broken ribs and a broken arm and leg and is unconscious

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CO* Sir I am reading life signs not far from your position

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@*OPS* Away team to shuttle, Do you have a link to the relay in orbit?

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO* yes sir

OPS_Rodz says:
::keeps tapping on console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO:  Sir.  I have an idea.  Why don't we use the Challenger's tractor beam to use the courier as a shield to exit the atmosphere.  It would burn up on re-entry.

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@*OPS* Send a message to starfleet, tell them that there is sentient life and give them my recommendation to send a cleanup crew to remove the shuttle from the planet.

OPS_Rodz says:
CEO: Lifesigns??

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: I don't think we'd have enough power with the challenger to pull that much.

CEO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Apparently life forms native to this planet

MO_Pope says:
::injects the piliot with a hypo::

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO* Aye sir ::sends message to Starfleet::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::checks courier ships engines to see if it could be used as a booster stage to orbit::

Host Jim says:
%<SF_OPS> COMM: Challenger: Understood Challenger, we will have a ship there in 3 hours, recommend self destruct setting

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CO*: Sir, we have a lock on you, transporters are standing by

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@ MO: Is the pilot well enough to be transported to the shuttle?

MO_Pope says:
@CO:  Yes sir

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO* starfleet says they will have a ship here in 3 hours. They recommend self-destruct

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@::looks at CO::

OPS_Rodz says:
<say>

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@*OPS* Send a reply, I object to the setting of Autodestruct due to the proximity of the sentient life to the crash site. It may cause more damage to their society

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO*Aye Sir

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@CSO: Got everything you need?

OPS_Rodz says:
SF_OPS:COMM: The CO objects to the self destruct due to the proximity of the sentient life to the crash site

CSO_Yamamoto says:
@CO: Aye sir.  Data recorder and courier's package is ready for transport.

Host Jim says:
%<SF_OPS> COMM: Challenger: Understood

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
@*CEO* Lock on to the away team and beam us back to the shuttle.

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CO*: Aye sir

CEO_Q`tor says:
::locks onto AT and activates transporter::

OPS_Rodz says:
*CO*: I relay your message their reply, They understand.

CEO_Q`tor says:
<activates>

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::materializes with cargo at his side in Challenger::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::Rematerialises in the shuttle::

MO_Pope says:
::re materializes in shuttle with the pilot::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::secures cargo with extra precautions::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::sees the Captain re materialize::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
::Steps forward back into the main part of the cockpit:: OPS: Thank you commander.

OPS_Rodz says:
::nods at CO::

Host Jim says:
#<Ooga> ::enters Courier craft and looks about at the strange new cave, sits on soft rock ::

Host CO-AJ-Affleck says:
CEO: Everything ship shape?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: All repairs are complete sir

Host Jim says:
#<Ooga> ::Desides to take soft rock to his cave and drags it out::
