Host CO-Affleck says:
::In Ready Room, slumped at the desk, looking at a blank computer screen, waiting for Starfleets Reply on a Replacement ship::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::his eyes lock on the sort of small building::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::rolls over and lands face down on the floor::

OPS_Udder says:
*CO* Text reply from Starfleet, sir, no ships in this area for at least 3 days and asking if we require assistance

::at his console on the Qlb bridge::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::walks closer to the XO::  XO:  So...  maybe we should, I dunno...  ::streches hands outward::  ...explore a little?

Host CO-Affleck says:
*OPS* Tell them that we'll hold position until a more qualified starship can releive us of this situation.

OPS_Udder says:
::transfers the message to the CO's RR ::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::mumbles something about the shelf and gets up::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@:: turns to sound of the XO calling, and heads over::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::nods:: SOO: We're going to, in just a minute

OPS_Udder says:
*CO* Aye, sir

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::presses hand up against the shuttle, leaning on it for support::  Self:  Right...

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::washes off and goes outside::

OPS_Udder says:
::wonders what situation he refers to ::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO, CEO, SOO: Ok, just got word from the QIb, we're allowed passive scans of the structure. You three, and Gwen, are going to go and investigate. Get as much info as you can from outside, especially about those power readings we picked up last time we were here.

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::yawns::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Aye sir

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::sees that Mayfair is finally up and calls her over::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Walks towards XO::

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Sir are we to enter the structure?

TO_Chappell says:
*CO* Sir, I recommend we go to red alert.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::flips out tricorder::  Self:  Power readings... how exciting!  ::breaks away from the group and starts scanning structures::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: Not without my permission first. Try to find out as much as you can without actually going in.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ OPS: You're going with these three to try and figure out what those power readings were.

OPS_Mayfair says:
@XO:Aye Sir

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Gets up from ready room desk, waking up a little from the bordem of waiting and then exits the RR, looking somewaht tired still, overhearing the TO on the Comm and inperson momentarilly:: TO: What makes you say that Ensign?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: And Gladius, Leah is in charge. You follow her orders, unless I give you one. Understood?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::flips open a tricorder::CTO: Are we ready?

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Ok, but can we get someone in a shuttle above checking from another point of view?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Goes back to the shuttle and get her gear::

TO_Chappell says:
CO: Instinct, Sir.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::swings tricorder from building to building::  Self:  Nothing, nothing... nothing.  Ahh... here's something of interest!

Host CO-Affleck says:
TO: Instinct isn't protocol enough to qualify red alert.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: ::nods:: If you can't find things out from the ground, then yes. But for now, we're sticking to the ground.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ All: Any other questions?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::walks back over to group::  XO:  Seems that our lovely power sources are underground somewhat...

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Sir, I'm picking up minimum power levels from deep beneath the surface.

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Goes back to the group::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CEO:  Anyway we can beam down there?

Host CO-Affleck says:
TO: Anything on Sensors?

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Aye sir

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@ALL:  Or is there an entrance that you guys encountered that leads us there?

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: Yes lets go

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: I'm looking sir, as far as inside the structure itself, all I'm picking is......furniture

OPS_Mayfair says:
SOO: We can't go in beacuse the Captain doesn't want us to

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CEO: Good. There's nothing strange about furnitue, so keep out.

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Scanning the building again: XO: There is a low level power reading same as the original one I detected

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::nods to OPS::  OPS:  I'm aware of that... I'm simply trying to get ahold of all the facts.  I understand a team was sent down earlier, and I didn't have the luxury of reading the report.  ::smiles::

TO_Chappell says:
CO: Sensors detect energy readings around the house.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::starts moving in closer to the structure and slowly around it::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::once they have moved down a ways to the structure, he heads back to the shuttle and taps a few buttons, opening a comm to the QIb:: COMM: QIb: Gleisen to QIb.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::walks over to nearby building and gives the side of the blue house a good kick::  Self:  Seems well built...

Host CO-Affleck says:
::looks over at viewscreen and rolls eyes thinking about what he's judt been told and turns to the TO again:: TO: Any Ship or such in the System?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Sir, if I am reading this right, then the power that we are detecting is coming directly from the planet core

CTO_Augustus says:
@::takes the lead toward the structure scanning and recording::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Sighs:: COMM: XO: Yes commander, what is it?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::looks at window::  Self:  Pesky curtains can not stop the power of the tricorder!  ::scans past the curtains, into the house::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::follows Augustus::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ COMM: CO: Captain, just checking in. I've got Augustus, Q`tor, Mayfair and Siwiak investigating, sir, and they think the power is coming directly from the planets core.

TO_Chappell says:
:: scans the system for ships ::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::sidesteps around the house until she finally comes across some smallish script, which her tricorder attempts to analyze::

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: Q`Tor anything on that energy source, I want to check that out

Host CO-Affleck says:
COMM: XO: As in Geothermal or what?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Scans the area::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Only that it is low levels and that it seems to tap the planets core

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: Qlb: Augustus to Qlb

XO_Gleisen says:
COMM: CO: No sir, tapping directly from the planets core.

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: I agree

CTO_Augustus says:
@SOO: Ma'am how do you want to do  this?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::still looking at her tricorder::  CTO:  This would be easier if it were in English.  Well, we can't get much out here... I'm thinking of asking the Commander if we can go in and gather more info.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::moves right up to the structure trying to detect anything inside::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Paces arround for a moment and then answers the next Comm, thinking he needs an Answering Machine , with some humourous answering machine message...:: COMM:CTO: QIb here.

CTO_Augustus says:
@SOO: I agree however I would prefer going and checking things out before everyone entering

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::goes around the structure trying to peek inside::

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: CO: I believe that we need to enter

Host CO-Affleck says:
COMM: CTO: Convince me Mr. Augustus... ::Wonders arround idly then sits on his chair for this conversation::

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: CO: I also called to check ship Tactical status

CEO_Q`tor says:
@CTO: All I can pick up inside is just what appears to be beds, tables and chairs and the like.

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: Confirmed

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CTO:  I'd always thought that four phasers are better then one... but I'll honor that request, once the Commander decides we can go in.  If we can find a way... that is.

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Glances up:: FCO: Take us into a lower orbit for better sensor resolution.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::sitting in the Challenger, sending out the next shift of strike team guys to patrol the area as the night shift comes back in and plop down in the Thames for a nap::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::sees the letters and runs his fingers over them::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::yells::  XO:  Sir...  I believe I found something of interest

ACTION   As they press the script a doorway opens inviting them inside

FCO_Ranahi says:
FCO: Aye, sir.  ::redirects the maneuvering thrusters and moves the QIb into a lower orbit::

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: CO: Well, we need to find out how its tapping into the biothermal of the planet supplying energy My proposal is to enter, if its secure no hostilities than bring in the SCI team for further analysis

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Sir, we have an opening

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::gets up and heads down to the structure:: SOO: What is...::stops as he see's the opening::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@ALL:  The text is that of an ancient race... ones that once seeded the galaxy with humaniod life.  The Preservers, possbily...

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::looks inside the opening::

CTO_Augustus says:
@:: Scans the opening and air content::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Looks inside the house and then to the AT::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CEO: What did you do?

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Takes a moment to considder:: COMM:CTO: Permission Granted, if anything even smells funny get out of there... straight away.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  Permission to walk through the hole in the wall?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: I'm not sure sir, I was merely investigating this script

XO_Gleisen says:
@ SOO: ::nods:: Don't touch anything.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::extends hand towards the hole::  CTO:  After you...

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM: CO: Aye sir, Two I need you to get a transporter lock on myself and keep it

XO_Gleisen says:
@ All: Passive scans inside...

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: Punch up a starchart of the area on the Forward viewer, who might be in the area?

CTO_Augustus says:
@SOO: Give me a moment first just to check the opening OK?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  Right... no kicking then?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::shakes his head:: SOO: No kicking, no touching...

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: As in hostiles, sir?

As the away team members enter the lights come on and fans begin circulating air within the house, the stale air is soon replaced with fresh air

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Scans the doorway enters the doorway veay cautiously::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::swings Mr. Tricorder about in an attempt to pick up items more interesting then just beds and chairs::

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: Anyone and everyone, I'm, thinking that a lot of people would like their hands on what Mr. Augustus thinks is down there...

CTO_Augustus says:
@Self: Intereesting

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@House:  Hello Mr. House...  Anyone home?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::looking around the interior, standing just a few feet inside the door::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::feels for his mekl'eth behind him as he enters the structure::

On the far wall is what  is a large area covered with ideograms and designs

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  But shouldn't the location of other races and hostiles be the responsibility of Mister Chappell, sir?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Follows Q'tor inside::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::steers tricorder towards the ideograms::

CTO_Augustus says:
@ALL: Anything exciting because other than the air rebreathers kicking in and lights nothing on my scans

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::makes his way towards the ideograms, scanning along the way::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Starts looking for some kind of conesole or something she can get info from::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::walks over to the ideograms and looks over them. They're all greek to him:: SOO: Tricorder say anything about them?

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CTO:  I found bumpy things on the wall...  ::points::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  The computer can't make it out... same language as the other ideograms near the... umm... "Door."

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Turns and starts scanning the walls::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::looks around at everyone and reaches out his hand:: Self: It worked before

XO_Gleisen says:
@ SOO: Make sure you record them on the tricorder. ::turns and walks around the rest of the room, looking for anything out of the ordinary::

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO/TO: So both of you work together, get me that diagram on the forward viewer.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::touches one of the ideograms::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@All:  Anyone else think this is some remarkable nanotechnology made by an advanced race that we'll never get to meet and this will all just blow up before we get a chance to harness it's power?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::smacks Q`tor's hand before he can touch the wall::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CEO: No touching.

With a mjor spike on the power curve they can hear and initial thrum outside as the portal powers up

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: Q`Tor dont touch anything

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir  ::puts the starchart on the tactical viewscreen::

CTO_Augustus says:
@ALL: Out now

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::listens as the power thing warms up:: Oh just peachy.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::claps hands::  House:  Hey house...  can you here me?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@ALL:: grrrrrr

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::heads for the door:: All: Get out!

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Pointing to the doorway::

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Waiting for everyone to leave first::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::makes her way towards the door, purposely being the last one in the line heading that way::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::heads out towards the door::

CTO_Augustus says:
@COMM:Qlb:TO: You have that transporter lock?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Looks at the XO and CTO and then heads out::

Through the Archway they can see past a wall into an area that is within a Vulcan city

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::standing a few metres from the house, looking it up and down as it hums::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::swings tricorder around some more::  All:  The house doesn't feel like talking...  ::sniffles::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Stops in his tracks:: ALL: This does not look good

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::looking through the doorway, he watches the portal::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@All:  Ooo...  I feel like I'm staring at an Iconian Portal... or something ancient like that.

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Stops and stares at the portal, scanning it with his tricorder, waiting for everyone to leave::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::puts his feet up on the console and grumbles at being left behind to guard the shuttle::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::picks up rock, and motions with her hands her intent of thowing the rock through the portal, to the XO::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Stands next to the XO: XO: So... what now?

CMO_Kymar says:
@::scowls at the bleeping, flashing console::

CTO_Augustus says:
@::starts heading for the hatch still scanning the portal::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::watches the portal, waiting for it to change to a different picture like the records showed the other Iconian portal to do. Once it does, they can go in, but it doesn't::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ SOO: Fine, throw your stupid rock.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::smiles, then tosses rock through the portal::

The Rock goes awry and hits the portal with a clap of thunder sparks fly and it's operation halts

CTO_Augustus says:
@::looks at the SOO::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::shakes head::  Self:  My rock!

XO_Gleisen says:
@ SOO: See, now you broke it.

CTO_Augustus says:
@SOO: What are you doing?::as he exits the structure::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  All it needs is some spit and polish, a little duct tape and it'll be good as new.

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::shakes his head and walks back in, heading over to the portal with his tricorder open::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::sneaks up to the portal, waving the tricorder about at the area the rock hit::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::watches his tricorder as it tells him the portal is powering up:: Self: Uh oh.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@All:  I think we should umm... run away.  Big power build up here!

CTO_Augustus says:
@::walks back in scanning the portal::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::takes off towards the shuttles::

Unnoticed the house begins turning cherry red

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::slowly begins to walk back, then turns and runs out of the structure::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ All: Come on everybody time to leave.

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::outside the house looking at the XO and SOO::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::runs towards the shuttles::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  What can I say... I throw like a girl!  ::starts to puff a little as she runs::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@Self: It's just getting interesting

A Loud thrum can be heard  in the area around the structure and it is getting louder all the time

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::follow the XO::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::follows the XO::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::once he's about 200 metres away, he stops and turns to face the structure, sort of hiding behind a skinny little tree. It's not working that good::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::holds tricorder behind her as she runs::

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Sir lets leave a tricorder in here set to continous scan, fed into the Qlb or one of the shuttle computers

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::hiding behind the XO::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: In your opinion, how much danger do you think we're in right now?

The House is bright yellow now

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Stops and turns to face the now yellow, and loud structure::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@Self: I liked it better blue

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@All:  It is turning yellow... that must mean friendly, right?  Yeah... friendly, please come in to this house.

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Sir leafve one or 2 of us lessens the damage to the crew right now we have to many bridge crew here, prefer a TAC/SCI team

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@*CMO*:  Doctor, make sure you're scanning all this with the shuttle's sensors

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::finds a nearby tree and gets behind it::

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Shakes head:: All: I do not like this one more time outside

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  Or you can leave the person who broke it on the team...

CEO_Q`tor says:
@XO: Sir, I would recommend retreating to the safety of the shuttles

CMO_Kymar says:
*SOO*: Scanning all what? Whats going on?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ All: Augustus, your staying with me. Everyone else, to the shuttle, prepare to take off. And keep a transporter lock on us.

CTO_Augustus says:
@::Shakes his head that makes sense::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ *CMO*: Gleisen to Kymar, power up the shuttle and get everyone in there. We made a boo boo.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@XO:  Fine, fine...  just don't blame me if it blows up.  ::leads the team back to the shuttles::

CTO_Augustus says:
@CEO: Q`Tor tie your tricorder into mine for constant feed

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::makes sure everyone is headed towrds the shuttles and then follws them::

CMO_Kymar says:
@*XO*: A boo boo sir? ::shudders and starts up the Challenger::

OPS_Mayfair says:
@XO: Aye sir ::Runs back to the Thames::

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: Tie your tricorder into the QIb's main computer.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::walking towards shuttle::  CMO:  Doctor Kymar, power up the ship and prepare for dust off.

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO:: Now where do you want to start

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::ties tricorder in with CTOs::

CMO_Kymar says:
@*SOO*: Shuttle is ready to "dust off" whenever your all ready

OPS_Mayfair says:
*XO* All teams are leaving right?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ *OPS*: Not leaving yet, prepare to on a moments notice though.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::climbs into shuttle, taking a seat at one of the two forward stations::

CTO_Augustus says:
@::walks oveer to some of the furnitureee and scans for any DNA traces::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Idly studies the starchart on the main viewer:: FCO: Ranahi, where do you think the greatest threat to our position might come from?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@::Walks into the Thames and gets ready to leave. Makes sure she's got a lock on XO and CTO::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::stands near the Challengers hatch:: XO,CTO: I would recommend evacuation about now

CMO_Kymar says:
@All: All Aboard?

OPS_Mayfair says:
@ *ALL TEAMS* Prepare to leave

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CEO:  Climb on in already...

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::standing outside the structure, scanning it with every scan the tricorder knows as Augustus scurries about inside::

Computer says:
WARNING: Explosive event is soon to occur on the planet's surface, suggest evacuation and departure

CTO_Augustus says:
@*CEO*: Why?

CMO_Kymar says:
@::prepares the Challenger for take-off

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Doc, bring us a little off the ground head towards the XO and CTO... get ready to pick 'em up.

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: I have no idea, sir.  I'm just a pilot.  ::shifts uneasily in his seat::

CTO_Augustus says:
@XO: Sir Out now

XO_Gleisen says:
@ Computer: Don't have to tell me twice. CTO: We're leaving, now. *OPS*: Two to beam up. Pronto.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*XO,CTO*: I would REALLY recommend leaving now, that structure appears to be going critical::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Hears computer and thinks "Eak!":: COMM: AT: QIb to Away Team get out of there, evacuate immeadiately.

CTO_Augustus says:
@*OPS*: Transport us out of here::Places his tricorder on bed::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::gently maneuvers the shuttle off the ground and over to the XO and CTO::

OPS_Mayfair says:
*All teams* To the shuttles now

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Take us up, they've been picked up...

Host CO-Affleck says:
Ops: What's the status of transporters?

XO_Gleisen says:
@ ::as soon as Mayfair gets around to beaming them in:: OPS: Get us out of here.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::climbs on board the Challenger:: CMO: GO GO GO!!!

OPS_Mayfair says:
*CTO* Aye:: transports them into the Thames

CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods and spins the shuttle around and up into the air::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Take us back to the barn... maximum speed.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::is ready for take off::

CTO_Augustus says:
#*CEO*: QTor are you still receiving my data feed from the structure?

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::stumbles into seat at engineering station and straps himself in::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::sets a course and powers the Challenger up into the atmosphere::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*CTO*: Aye

CTO_Augustus says:
# *CEO*: Good continue recording it for me

XO_Gleisen says:
# ::watches on scanners as the structure keeps going up and up in power readings::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@*CTO*: As long as there's something to record

OPS_Mayfair says:
# XO: Can we go now. sir?

XO_Gleisen says:
# OPS: Yes, get us outta here!

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::Flies the shuttle up and away::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@COMM:  QIb:  Open the barn door, we're coming in!

OPS_Udder says:
CO: Negative, Sir, there's too much interferance for a positive lock.

XO_Gleisen says:
# OPS: Put the pedal to the metal commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
# ::Walks up to OPS:: OPS: Need a hand::as he buckles up::

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::shunts more power to shields::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#CTO: No

XO_Gleisen says:
@ CTO: So much for passive scanning eh?

CMO_Kymar says:
@::tries his best to stabalize the shuttle through the atmosphere::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Initiate landing procedures... take us in as safely at your skills allow.

CTO_Augustus says:
#::Gets comfortable::

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: open up the Shuttle bay space doors, all of them, and the Main Cargo bay door.... position us ready to pick the shuttles up and leave.

OPS_Udder says:
COMM: Shuttles: Doors open now

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::Looks over at SOO:: SOO: A rock?

CTO_Augustus says:
#XO: Yes sir and if this planet gets destoyed there goes the scientific find of a lifetime

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@::points towards cargo doors::  CMO:  In there... the cargo bay.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CEO:  Yeah, yeah... a rock!

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::tries her best to make it thru the athmosphere::

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir ::issues the alert that the cargo bay doors are opening, and quickly works to maneuvre the QIb into a better position for the shuttles::

CMO_Kymar says:
@*SOO*: Aye aye ::brings the shuttle speeding out of the atmosphere and points it towards the cargo bay doors::

XO_Gleisen says:
# COMM: Challenger: Thames to Challenger. You're parking in the Main Cargo Bay this time.

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::can't help but chuckle to himself over the irony::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::keeps the shuttle as level as possible as the Challenger nears the Cargo Bay doors::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Take us in... softly!  Softly!  No scraping the bay doors!

OPS_Udder says:
CO: Shuttles should be aboard in 3 minutes

CMO_Kymar says:
@*SOO*: I know!

OPS_Mayfair says:
#*COMM:QIb: Open the Shutle Bay doors, please

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@COMM:  Thames:  We're heading there already.

OPS_Udder says:
COMM: OPS: They Are open

CMO_Kymar says:
@::slows the shuttle down and glides it in softly through the cargo bay doors, trying not to scratch the sides::

FCO_Ranahi says:
COMM: OPS: Shuttle bay doors are opening now, Commander ::ensures that the bays are clear and opens all the doors::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
@CMO:  Much better!  ::slaps the guy on the back::

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: Prepare a course to take us to a safe distance.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::Head toward the shuttle bay::

XO_Gleisen says:
# OPS: Alright commander nice and soft... ::watches as their big green ship appears out the main window, replacing the clouds::

CMO_Kymar says:
@::slowing the Challenger down totally he lands it perfectly in the cargo bay::

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Heading?

CMO_Kymar says:
@::lets out a sigh of relief::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#XO:That how I like sir ::smiles::

CTO_Augustus says:
#::waitng for the shuttle to land::

OPS_Mayfair says:
#Enters the Shuttle Bay nice and easy::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Looks at the starmap:: FCO: 090 mark 070

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::stands and grabs onto a handgrip, making her way towards the shuttle's door::

XO_Gleisen says:
# OPS: Nicely done commander. ::grins a bit at her, then heads to the back of the shuttle and pops open the hatch::

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir. 090 mark 070.  ::plots a course::

CMO_Kymar says:
::powers down the Challenger and stands before heading for the door::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::slams fist on door release, then steps out and into turbolift::

CTO_Augustus says:
#*CO*: Sir I suggest Yellow alert and cloaking the vessel

CEO_Q`tor says:
@::ties tricorder into Challengers sensors::

XO_Gleisen says:
# ::hops out of the Thames, leaving Mayfair to do all the shut down stuff and heads for the bridge::

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Course laid in, Captain.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#ALL: Was that good or what?

OPS_Udder says:
CO: Shuttles aboard

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::arrives on bridge, and walks towards the Captain::

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: Engage.

ACTION  As the IKS QIb departs she outruns the malestrom that once was a green  and peaceful planet

XO_Gleisen says:
*CO*: Gleisen to bridge, suggest we stay around and watch this thing blow up sir. At the very least on the edge of sensor range.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::Powers down the shuttle::

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks off the shuttle and wonders where to go now::

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

CEO_Q`tor says:
::boosts the gain on the Challengers sensors and ties them inbto the QIb's sensors::

XO_Gleisen says:
::gets in the turbolift:: TL: Bridge, and make it snappy.

Host CO-Affleck says:
TO: Yellow Alert, Shields Up.

Turbolift says:
Vrumm umm umm...

Host CO-Affleck says:
FCO: just to a safe distance Lieutenant, as you deem fit.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
CO:  I don't know what they'll tell you... but my rock had nothing to do with it!  It's not my fault, I swear!  And I told everyone that this nanotechnology would blow up before we could harness it's power!  I think I saved the away team, actually!

Dust hangs heavy in the stratosphere as the planet is blanketed with debris from the explosion

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks over to the nearest empty TL and heads in:: TL: Erm, head for the...sickbay I guess

CEO_Q`tor says:
::makes sure Challenger sensors stay powered up::

CTO_Augustus says:
::exits the shuttle and head for the bridge::

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::continues on current heading for the time being, until he is sure they are safe::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
CO:  Lemme just say that I'm helping to keep that power from going into the wrong hands... if they came and all.

OPS_Mayfair says:
#::notices the XO already gone:: Self: Well thanks  for saving me Gwen, again

CMO_Kymar says:
::sighs as the TL grinds into action with a shudder::

XO_Gleisen says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads down to the middle part and his folding chair, looking over at the big comfy couch the Captain gets, then down at his little folding chair:: ::sigh::

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Looks over at Siwiak, confused look on his face:: SOO: You?

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Finishes with the Thames and head out of the SB::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::raises arms into the air::  XO:  Who could have thought it'd blow up?  I kept it from falling into the hands of the Borg... the Romulans, the Cardassians.  I saved the day!

CEO_Q`tor says:
::with no further tricorder readings coming from the planet powers down the Challengers sensors, and secures it before leaving::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Arrives on the bridge heading to TAC and ties in SCI scanners to his console and begins the waiting::

CMO_Kymar says:
::the TL stops and deposits him in front of Sickbay::

XO_Gleisen says:
SOO: I'm sure that's what Starfleet Science will believe as well.

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::points at fireball on screen::  All:  It's better this way...  we're not meant to understand such technology!

CEO_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: Gladius, I've lost the transmission

CTO_Augustus says:
::Glares at the SOO::  SOO: Ma`am is that what you think?  I think you may have destroyed the greatest scientific find of our day

FCO_Ranahi says:
::checks his sensors:: CO: We are clear, Captain.  Reducing speed.

CTO_Augustus says:
*CEO* Da-- it, thanks sir

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::shakes head::  CTO:  You've got it all wrong!  It destroyed itself!

CEO_Q`tor says:
::heads to the TL:: TL: Bridge

CMO_Kymar says:
::sighs and heads into his office:: Self: Yet another day at the office

CTO_Augustus says:
SOO: Can you prove that.  You attacked it, it maybe semi intelligent it may have felt threatened

OPS_Mayfair says:
::Waiting for the TL::

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::walks towards screen and streches arms out around fireball::  All:  See...  it's evil!  Bad I say...  CTO:  Well, I didn't hear it complain.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Enters the bridge:: CTO: Gladius, we recieved information from the tricorder right up until the explosion

Host CO-Affleck says:
:: A Little Smarmy:: XO: Commander, Do you see any further reason to stay in this system?

CTO_Augustus says:
SOO ::shakes his head:: You dont see it complaining, it is destroying itself

OPS_Mayfair says:
::finally the TL arrives and she goes in:: TL: Bridge

SOO_Nevada-Siwiak says:
::crosses arms, looking at the crew::  All:  I think I have a report to write...  ::walks towards turbolift::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: Since there is nothing of interest...nothing at all even left here sir, I see no reason not to move onto our next assignment.

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: Thank you I shall have the file sent to Starfleet Science and Command

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Sighs:: FCO: Helm, Starbase, Warp 4.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::enters the bridge::

XO_Gleisen says:
SOO: I look forward to reading your report commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I shall write a prelim report, and try and make sense of this info

FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::plots a course::  Course laid in, Captain.

Host CO-Affleck says:
::Takes a seat and gets comfortable, slouching down quietly:: Self: "Home James..."
