Klingon EMH says:
CEO: ::shimmers into existence:: What do you want?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::shrugs shoulders and tosses her bag to a nearby Crewman before heading into the turbolift::  TL:  Bridge.

CEO_Q says:
EMH: Clear me for duty

XO_Gleisen says:
::enters the BR, and finally finds the Captain::

Klingon EMH says:
CEO: Whats wrong with you?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::arrives on bridge and takes a moment to look around before stepping out::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Captain, a moment of your time please?

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Continues reading the PADD, regardless of who entered behind him while he sits ont he table facing the windows::

FCO_Ranahi says:
::makes his way to the bridge::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Disturbed puts the PADD Dwon on the table and stands up, turning arround..::

CEO_Q says:
EMH: I was injured on the planet. Dr Kymar patched me up and ordered me to report to sickbay to be cleared to return to duty. I did this, but the medic on duty could not clear me. So now I want you to do so.

Host CO-Affleck says:
XO: Commander, What is it?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gets a peak into the conference room before the door shuts behind the XO, then heads in and finds the two men around the table::

Klingon EMH says:
CEO: Fine, let me see you. ::roughly grabs Q`tor by the back of the neck and looks him over:: Alright. Get out, you're cleared. And turn me off before you leave.

::enters the bridge and resumes his station::

CEO_Q says:
EMH: Gladly

OPS Udder says:
CTO: We have a new arrival in Shuttle bay 2

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gives a half-hearted informal salute::  CO:  Reporting for duty, Skipper.

Klingon EMH says:
::fizzles out, muttering about incompetant doctors that can't do their jobs..::

CEO_Q says:
*Chief O'Leary*: Mr. O'Leary, Status report

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: What the XO is trying to say is this...we only found a few life signs because the grass produces a natural shielding against scans, and a ddition::hands a PADD to the CO:: That energy reading it matches a portal

OPS_Mayfair says:
::helps around with repairs::

Chief O`Leary says:
CEO: Ahh...good to hear your voice sir. The Challenger is good as new sar. We're putting the final polish on her now.

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Glances at Siwiak for a moment then back at Gleisen then back to Siwiak again:: SOO: You're back... Good to hear. Welcome. ::Returns to attention to the CTO/XO::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Awaits for the XO or CO to do or say something::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Sir, if this is what we think it is, this could be one of the greatest archeological finds in the history of the Federation.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::sees CEO and the man talking::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Takes the PADD and starts reading it::

CEO_Q says:
::walks over to OPS:: OPS: Are we cleared to return yet?

CO: Sir, you will find that the crystaline substance is replicatable

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::sarcastically to self::  Self:  You're back... good, yeah.  Go keep the chair warm.  Aye sir.  ::turns and leaves, knowing full well that nobody could clearly here all of what she said::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: and works on all tricorder scans as well as the ones the CEO did and OPS from the shuttles

FCO_Ranahi says:
::familiarises himself with what is going on::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Ignores the SOO's bantering and picks up his own PADD with the data he'd been studying and a few things from Starfleet::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::makes her way as casually as possible back to the bridge, then settles into the command chair and gets comfy::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CEO: uh.. not yet

Host CO-Affleck says:
CTO/XO: Our Orders didn't include this...

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: It is imparitive that we ...

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: SIr they do investigate the planet!

Host CO-Affleck says:
CTO/XO: But I'm willing to beleive that this would be an important finding to the federation and if in the wrong hands a security risk to Starfleet and the Entire Quadrant.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Sir, the main order of the Federation is to explore. This is definately worth exploring.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::keeps on checking the shuttle Thames::

XO_Gleisen says:
::nods:: CO: So thats a yes? ::very very relieved::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::gives the high quality leather chair a good spin, not allowing her eyes to meet any of the bridge staff's as the world pulls a 360::

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks around the room:: Self: About time now we are getting somewhere

Host CO-Affleck says:
CTO/XO: As this place is a security risk I will authorized an Away Team... ::Trails off but ready to continue after scrolling down the PADD Data a bit::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Thank you sir. ::turns to exit::

Host CO-Affleck says:
XO: Commander, I'm not finished.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Starts mentally putting together a lissst of equipment needed and a team::

XO_Gleisen says:
::stops in his tracks and his stomach falls out:: CO: Yes, sir. ::turns slowly::

CTO_Augustus says:
::stops in front of the door::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::makes sure that the transporter enhancers are inside the shuttle::

Host CO-Affleck says:
XO: The nature of the away team will primarilly be a combat team. They will secure the site and hold it until further notice, under no circumstances are you to leave the site without order from QIb. I'm going to get talking to Starfleet about them dispatching another vessel to take over, eitehr an Excellsior or Galaxy Class.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the XO and CO::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Yes, sir. Anything else?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, a Combat Team?  I don't understand why?

FCO_Ranahi says:
::holds position::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::makes hand puppets::  "CO:  We have a grave situation."  "XO:  Yes, we do... we must blow something bad up."  "CO:  Agreed... make it so."

OPS_Mayfair says:
CEO: Can you spare a few men to help me make sure the Thames is in good condition to return

CTO_Augustus says:
XO/CO: Wait a minute...I need to know why fo rthe record why I am deploying a strike team

FCO_Ranahi says:
::tries very hard not to look at the woman in the Big Chair, absolutlely horrified::

CEO_Q says:
OPS: Yes I can. I can spare myself.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I need an answer

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Kinda shocked at the CTO not being all for a Combat mission:: CTO: This site is important to the security of the Federation. Take The Challenger if it's read and another shuttle and secure the area.

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Understood sir. Anything else?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir, but I am preparing for what?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::puppets again::  "CO:  Set a course for Risa... I need a nap."  "FCO:  Aye sir... what about Leah?"  "CO:  Well, welcome back!  Now off you go... hahah."

OPS_Mayfair says:
CEO: How about him ::points to O'leary:: CEO: can you spare him ::winks::

Host CO-Affleck says:
XO: No, Get down there, secure the site.

CTO_Augustus says:

FCO_Ranahi says:
::glances back and forward to Gleisen and Affleck, not sure who to obey::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: ::pauses:: Sir, we're taking two shuttles. Mayfair can fly one, but we need a pilot. The ion arcs already proved to be a problem.

XO_Gleisen says:
::enters the shuttlebay and looks around at everyone there::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
XO:  I mean, people are always like "Well, you need to rest... take it easy."  Meanwhile I'm stuck doing nothing!  It's about time I got out... blew something up.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looking around he buts his Dak'tag it's sheath on his back, and puts a few extra power backs in his uniforms inner pockets::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::secures batlh'eth in the Challenger::

XO_Gleisen says:
All: Alright, Mayfair, you're driving the Thames. Kymar, you're piloting the Challenger. Everyone else, just pile in, it doesn't matter where.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::follows behind XO::  XO:  I mean, even something small...  a phaser blast here, a photon gernade there.  That would be great.

CTO_Augustus says:
*CEO*: Commander reply please

OPS_Mayfair says:

OPS_Mayfair says:
O'Leary: Thanks Mr O'leary ::smiles::

CMO_Kymar says:
OPS: ::grinning broadly:: OK, what about when we get down there?

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Sir I am on my way I'll go in whatever shuttle leaves first would you bring up the rear with the relief troops

#::raises hands above her head, like on a rollar coaster::  OPS:  This isn't as bad as the coasters, but we're getting there.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::boosts power to shields::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::holds onto the bars on the side of the shuttle as it buffets around a bit::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CMO: ETA?

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::compensates for the turbilance and tryes to keep the shuttle straight::

CTO_Augustus says:
#::Shakes his head:: SOO: Alittle respect ma'am the first trip wasn't thsi fun

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::feels a good jolt, then stops playing around and gets her hands rerouting power to the IDFs and sheild::

CMO_Kymar says:
@ CEO: Its a bit bumpy, if your shuttle gets broken dont blame me and attack the planet instead

CTO_Augustus says:
#OPS: ETA

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::boosts power to IDF::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::compensates more and more to keep the shuttle from shaking about overly much::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CMO: Slow and steady doctor...

OPS_Mayfair says:
#:: Can see the trees and looks for a clear where to land::

CMO_Kymar says:
@ XO: Aye sir, if i go any faster we will be landing with our feet 

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::allows her fingers to slide over the controls, attempting to increase sensor resolution to find a nice, clear and soft landing area::

ACTION  After the shuttles hit the 3000 Meter level the atmosphere clears and things smooth out

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: They are through the atmosphere.

CMO_Kymar says:
@::checks on the Thames' Position and heads in after it::

CTO_Augustus says:
#OPS: Fifty yards from the eastside of the structures let us off  load and you take off securing the air space

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::as they come down and the Thames starts to land:: CMO: Ok doc hold position here until we get the all clear from Gladius.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#CTO: Yes Lt.

CMO_Kymar says:
@XO: Sir, shall I land near the Thames or further away?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::stands up from her chair and makes her way towards the back of the shuttle, hefting herself a type II and III and taking a spot behind the security detail::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::Gets ready to land:: ALL: Hold on again

CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods and sets the shuttle to circle the Thames' landing spot a few times::

CTO_Augustus says:
#ST: Stand to ready for disembark tac 3 beta

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Sir it would be tactically sound to land close to the Thames

XO_Gleisen says:
@ COMM: Thames: Holding position here, waiting for the all clear from you guys.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::clips type II and tricorder onto her belt and uses her free hand to grab hold of a railing as OPS brings them in::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::Lands the Thames very nicely::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CEO: We will, just have to wait until Gladius says we're good.

CTO_Augustus says:
#COMM: Challenger: Roger that

CMO_Kymar says:
@::smiles at the Thames' landing and hopes for roughly the same thing::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::points out the window:: CMO: Ours better be like that.

CTO_Augustus says:
#::ST disembarks and starts to deploy securing the area but not entering the structure::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::follows the team out and sheild her eyes as the Challenger comes in and kicks up some dust::

CTO_Augustus says:
:: In 2 minutes:: #COMM: Challenger / Thames landing area is secure

CMO_Kymar says:
@ XO: I hope so too ::begins the Challengers descent::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CMO: Take us down, nice and soft. Land us 20 metres from the Thames.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#CTO: I'll be looking down from up there ok. Be safe.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
#::watches as, for a moment, the Challenger blocks out the sun and comes down for a landing::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::waits for the Challenger to land::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::sets coords and brings the shuttle in nice and smoothly 21.5 metres away from the Thames:: XO: I tried

CTO_Augustus says:
%COMM: Roger OPS secure an area of 3 klicks but stay away from the structure

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CMO: My congratulations doctor
