Mission Orders
Crew,
You are hereby ordered to investigate the myseterious disappearance of a probe sent into the area of Thulie Theta 148,  This scientific probe was sent to investigate  peculiar readings originating in this region of space which is close to the Federation/Romulan Border. As this area borders the Neutral Zone it is considered that a specially prepared Class IX shuttlecraft might not be viewed with alarm by our Romulan "friends" and should offer the greatest chance of success. The probe is fitted with a locator beacon and it should be returned to Starfleet as soon as possible.

CMO_Kymar says:
::marches around his small sickbay and sighs at the fact there is no CMO's office and stares at his chair and computer:: Self: At least its in better condition that the Qlb sickbay

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::sitting in the chair in the center of the bridge area. He looks around at the small scaled bridge of the Teche: it looks like a standard federation bridge, just packed into the size of quarters on a Defiant class::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::sat at his console, trying to get used to Federation consoles again::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
FCO: ETA Mr Ranahi?

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Um...on that now, sir....

SO_Wong says:
::at a compact science station::

CMO_Kymar says:
::slumps into the chair and also notes the absence of a Med Team::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::finds it:: ACO: Ah, ten minutes, sir.

CMO_Kymar says:
Computer: Activate the EMH program

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::nods to Ranahi, then gets up and walks the 2 steps over to science:: SO: Any sign of the probe yet on LRS?

SO_Wong says:
ACO: Captain, I am picking up very high electromagnetic readings from a system ahead.

SO_Wong says:
::continues to monitor for probe signal and suspicious readings::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::monitors the shuttle's position::

SO_Wong says:
::sees that electromagnetic readings are dropping::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: We're five mintues out now, sir.

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Thank you Mr Ranahi. As soon as we arrive take us as close as you can to those readings.

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Acknowledged.

SO_Wong says:
ACO: Sir, the EM readings that were picked up earlier are dropping, it looks as if an ion storm was just here some time ago.

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
SO: Any change in status of that probe I want to know right away.

SO_Wong says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Kymar says:
::notices that his chair has a swivel and start spinning on it like a little kid::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
SO: Also keep an eye on LRS for any Romulan activity. ::wishes they had the QIb's cloak right about now::

SO_Wong says:
::nods::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CMO*: Mr. Dremel, if you aren't busy could you please come to the bridge. We're a bit undermanned right now.

SO_Wong says:
::picks up signal from probe:: ACO: Sir, I have a clearer signal from the probe now, we are aprrox. 7 mnitues away from it.

CMO_Kymar says:
*ACO*: Of course captain, be there soon. Kymar out

CMO_Kymar says:
::stands up and walks the 4 or so paces to the TL:: TL: Bridge

CMO_Kymar says:
::the TL stops and out he walks:: ACO: Sir, where would you like me to stand?

SO_Wong says:
::monitors for foreign ships::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: Could you take the engineering station please. ::points to the little alcove in the corner::

CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and walks over:: Self: ::whispering:: Wish i'd payed more attention in engineering classes now.

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
SO: Could you transfer the exact coordinates of the probe to Mr Ranahi please?

CMO_Kymar says:
::taps out the odd few buttons and asks the computer to beep wildly when somthing goes wrong::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Take us as close as you can to the probe.

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Aye, sir.  Adjusting course heading.

SO_Wong says:
::transfers probe readings to flight control::

ACTION  	As the Teche heads inwards they can see the solar system that they are approaching

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: You could slave OPS to your console as well. And could you please try to transfer as much power as you can to the sensors. We don't want any Romulans sneaking up on us.

SO_Wong says:
::detects Romulan ships moving in normal patrol patterns;:

CMO_Kymar says:
::transfers all secondary power to sensors:: ACO: Aye sir

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::looks around the bridge for a security guy, and wonders who's supposed to be here since the tactical chair is swinging to and fro, thanks to Enelis' driving::

CMO_Kymar says:
::grumbles and warns the computer to do the same beeping thing with OPS::

SO_Wong says:
ACO: I've got a direct signal from the probe, it's at the 3rd planet in the system. Transfering coordinates to Mr. Ranahi

SO_Wong says:
::sends coordinates to FCO::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::nods, sits back, and waits for the Teche to arrive::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Receiving new coordinates, Captain.  Adjusting course heading.

SO_Wong says:
::does a planetary scan on the 3rd planet::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
SO: Any life signs from that planet? Signs of civilization?

CMO_Kymar says:
::taps out a few more buttons and asks the computer to put all the information into catagories "Working" and "Not Working"::

SO_Wong says:
ACO: I still am not detecting any lifesigns, I'll try again when we get closer. 90% of this planet is oceanic, but the water is covered with something.

ACTION 	A huge arc strikes between the 4th and 5th Planet

SO_Wong says:
ACO: I'm picking up islands too, mostly small.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::raises his eyebrows in surprise at seeing the arc::  ACO: Captain!

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::looks up at the screen, expecting something amazing and stupendous::

TO_Chappell says:
::enters bridge and looks towards the ACO:: ACO: Ensign Chappell reporting for duty, sir.

CMO_Kymar says:
::follows everyone's gaze at the screen::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::turns around to face the new guy on the bridge:: TO: Ah, welcome aboard ensign. Take your post.

SO_Wong says:
ACO: We've got readings of Romulan ships in this region of space, but their on their routine patrol routes.

FCO_Ranahi says:
SO: Did you see that?

TO_Chappell says:
:: goes to his console ::

SO_Wong says:
FCO_Ranahi: Yes, fascinating.

ACTION  	Another huge arc Leaps from the 6th planet and passes through the hull of the Teche on it's way to the 3rd planet's surface. The controls go haywire and the Teche, attracted by the Planet's gravity, plunges in.

CMO_Kymar says:
::his panel beep crazily and he bashes it too keep it quiet::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::stares at the screen:: All: Oh crike...hold on everybody! ::grabs the side of his chair as the Teche goes flying towards the planet::

CMO_Kymar says:
::starts distributing the power to keep all the major systems running::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Propulsion is down, Captain!

CMO_Kymar says:
::looks around before diving to the floor and grabbing his chair::

ACTION 	The shuttle is buffeted as it plunges headlong into the planetary atmosphere

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Trying to reroute power to the navigational thrusters!

CMO_Kymar says:
::reroutes more power to thrusters and propulsion::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::watches the planet get bigger really really fast on the screen::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Hull temperature 3000 degrees!

SO_Wong says:
::scans for living conditions on the planet::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::tries the navigational thrusters::

ACTION 	The thrusters start giving some control over the vector into the planet's atmosphere

SO_Wong says:
ACO: Captain, if we do land on the planet we'll be able to take shelter until we'll get help.

CMO_Kymar says:
::bashes his panel into submission::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
SO: If we don't die in the crash..::feels the shuttle ease up slightly:: FCO: You have control back?

CMO_Kymar says:
::and reroutes all the emergency power to thrusters::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: Captain, I have some minimal thrusters.  I am attempting to stabilise our descent!

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
FCO: Looks like we're landing whether we like it or not...at least make it a soft one...

CMO_Kymar says:
::scoffs::

FCO_Ranahi says:
ACO: I'll do my best, sir.  ::battles with the thrusters::

CMO_Kymar says:
::ducks under his console and stabalises himself between the wall and his chair::

ACTION 	With the FCO's Effort the impact of the shuttle is somewhat lessened and it hits and passes through the layer of beneite with a hard but tolerable impact for the shuttle design. The crew are violently tossed about with several chairs breaking loose

SO_Wong says:
::sees red colours flashing and going up and down left and right on his console::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::goes flying across the bridge::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::tries to brace himself::

CMO_Kymar says:
::is safe in his cubby before getting knocked unconsious against the wall::

SO_Wong says:
::does a backward roll on the deck::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::smacks against the far wall very very very hard and falls down to the ground with a thud::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
Self: Ouch.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::falls into the helm, injuring his torso and breaking a good rib or two::

SO_Wong says:
::slides over to wall and pushes feet onto the wall while lying on the ground::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::he's kind of smushed against the wall, with his head on the floor and one leg up the side of the wall, the other one kind of hanging in front of his face::

SO_Wong says:
::crawls back to console::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::knocks his head on the helm, and is knocked out::

SO_Wong says:
::reads off screen::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::looks out from a weird perspective, upside down and sideways, at the rest of the bridge and tries to peel himself off the wall, unsuccesfully. He's obviously not going anywhere for a while::

SO_Wong says:
::scans environment and sees that we are underwater::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::remains unconscious::

CMO_Kymar says:
::wakes up momentarily just to feel the pain in his head before being swallowed by blackness once again::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::falls down off the wall, finally flat on the floor. He tries to crawl over to the main part of the bridge, but he can't move::

SO_Wong says:
::feels the pressure underwater and see that the console in front of him explodes::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: Doctor? Doctor if you have a minute... ::in a weak voice::

SO_Wong says:
::pushes back and feels the burn in his face::

CMO_Kymar says:
::slowly wakes up from his unconcious state to hear his name being called::

ACTION  	As a result of the concussion the SO falls over

CMO_Kymar says:
::the blood pours freely from the wound on his head and into his eyes:: All: Is...Is everyone alright?

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: No. I feel like I'm going to die. ::he's not even exaggerating::

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Dont worry...ill have you back to normal in a jiffy ::smiles weakly before crawling out of his space::

CMO_Kymar says:
::brushes the blood from his eyes:: Computer: Activate...EMH program on the bridge

ACTION 	There is a pronounced rubbing noise that is vibrating through the hull. If anyone cared to look they would note an increase in the depth meter reading

TO_Chappell says:
::wakes up::

CMO_Kymar says:
::grabs a Med-Kit from under the desk and opens it before taking out a hypospray and injecting it into the ACO::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::from his position on the floor, and the pain shooting through him, he doesn't much care how deep they are right about now. As long as the shuttle doesn't implode::

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: That should help the pain a little, now...::Gets out a med tricorder::

CMO_Kymar says:
Computer: Get the dang EMH online

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::feels a bit better from the hypo, but still can't get up:: TO: Status?

CMO_Kymar says:
::looks around for something and sees a piece of metal about a foot long and an inch thick::

EMH says:
CMO: Please state the na.... ::looks around:: ah never mind... quite obvious

TO_Chappell says:
::finds a chair and takes it to his console::

CMO_Kymar says:
::tears it from the floor and places it next to the ACO's leg:: ACO: Now, you may feel a...slight...twinge when I do this. I wont be able to repair the leg properly until we get back to the QIb

CMO_Kymar says:
EMH: Check on the FCO

TO_Chappell says:
ACO: Sir, some eel-like lifeform has wrapped itself around the ship. We're sinking fast.

EMH says:
::looks to find the FCO::

CMO_Kymar says:
::carefully grabs the broken leg and pulls sharply on it until its back to its normal position::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::eyes go wide open as the doctor twists his leg around and he tries not to scream out in pain::

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Sorry...::grabs the arm of his uniform and tears it off and into strips before tying the make-shift splint to the ACO's leg::

EMH says:
FCO: Mr. Ranahi....?

TO_Chappell says:
All: 2500 feet and sinking.

CMO_Kymar says:
TO: Can you get us up?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::doesn't respond::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Get the eel thing off us!

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Thats your leg taken care of; does it hurt anywhere else?

TO_Chappell says:
ACO: With all due respect, how the hell should I do that?!

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: Yea..here and here and here and here and here. ::points out all the spots it hurts, and realizes he's in real bad shape::

CMO_Kymar says:
TO: Can you electrify the hull?

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Shoot it.

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Ah...lets get this head wound cleared up first ::grabs another hypo from his kit and gives it to the ACO::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Throw a rock at it..do something.

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: Ahh! Thats cold!

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Dont worry, you'll be right as...rain soon ::grabs the dermal regenerator and starts to run it over the ACO's head wound::

EMH says:
::gently shakes the FCO:: FCO: Mr. Ranahi, you are needed to keep this ship in one piece.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::doesn't respond::

CMO_Kymar says:
EMH: Kick him

TO_Chappell says:
::uses a tractor beam to pull a rock at the ship::

EMH says:
::Looks back at CMO:: CMO: My programming clearly states, do no harm.

CMO_Kymar says:
::stops running the regenerator over the ACO's head and places it back in his kit::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::feels the ship shake and it vibrates through the floor and hurts him even more::

CMO_Kymar says:
EMH: Fine ::stands up and kicks the FCO in the thigh:: FCO: Wake up before we all die!

ACTION 	As the TO tractors the ocean floor the ship accelerates it's decent , the eel like creature lets go

FCO_Ranahi says:
::still does not respond::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::as the doctor finishes that up, he tries to sit up. It hurts like a bugger but he manages::

CMO_Kymar says:
TO: Activate Thrusters!

CMO_Kymar says:
FCO: AND GET UP! ::kicks him again::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::still does not respond::

CMO_Kymar says:
TO: Turn the tractor beam off too

CMO_Kymar says:
::Grabs a hypospray and injects the FCO with a stimulant::

EMH says:
::Since the CMO is working with the FCO, looks to see who else needs immediate care::

TO_Chappell says:
::turns the tractor beam off and activates the thrusters::

CMO_Kymar says:
::can feel his ears pop::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::climbs into his chair:: TO: Report?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::still no response::

ACTION 	The thrusters misfire but the ship, now released by the tractor on the ocean floor rises at a very rapid rate

CMO_Kymar says:
::injects the FCO again::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::his stomach turns as they go straight up very fast::

TO_Chappell says:
ACO: 100 feet and rising, sir.

FCO_Ranahi says:
::no response::

CMO_Kymar says:
FCO: Right, I'm getting quite annoyed! ::picks up the FCO and dumps him unceremoniously on the floor::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::looks at the screen to see where they are, but since it's dead that doesn't really help him::

EMH says:
::walks to the ACO:: ACO: Can I help you?

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
EMH: Scan away. I dunno whats wrong with me other than I hurt from here ::points to his head:: down to here ::points at his boot::

ACTION 	They can begin to feel the action of the waves on the hull

CMO_Kymar says:
::changes the dosage to 20cc's and injects the FCO for the last time:: Self: Now if that dont wake him up im declaring 'im dead

FCO_Ranahi says:
::no response::

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Sir, the FCO wont respond to the medication, I'm declaring it dead and I'm gonna put it in the waste disposal.

EMH says:
::Half picks the ACO up & helps him into his chair::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
CMO: It? Well, put him in the morgue instead of the garbage.

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Alright injury reports?

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
::as the EMH works away on him::

CMO_Kymar says:
::thinks about it for a minute::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Damage report?

CMO_Kymar says:
::picks up a Cordrazine Flask and replaces it into the hypospray before injecting the FCO and grumbling::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::no response::

CMO_Kymar says:
::Nearly screams::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::starts to convulse, still unconscious::

CMO_Kymar says:
::picks up another hypospray of something which stops convulsions and injects the FCO before reaching for some probe of some sort to stick on the FCO's neck::

TO_Chappell says:
ACO: Breakers need to be reset, and a leak by the rear hatch.

EMH says:
::Walks calmly to the FCO & CMO::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::stops convulsing::

Host ACO_Gleisen says:
TO: Alright, I'll leave that in your hands ensign, seeing as the rest of us are somewhat indisposed.

EMH says:
CMO: What is the matter here?

CMO_Kymar says:
EMH: He wont wake up, its ordinary unconciousness from what I can tell but he's not responding.

CMO_Kymar says:
::picks up his med tricorder and run it over the FCO::

EMH says:
::Reads over CMOs shoulder::
