QIb lutmey

The QIb Chronicles
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<BEGIN MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CMO_Kymar says:
%::turns back towards Tanaka:: Tanaka: Any luck with my tricorder?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: on the planet, keeping the watch ::
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Studies the direction of the beam, and begins mapping out trajectories.::
Lucas_Walker says:
@::In that lovely dark hole still, reading his tricorder readings::
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, with your permission, I will launch several probes along the trajectory of the beam that took the Doctor.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Nothing, I'm afraid. I think we're stuck here unless we can build an interface to this device, and I don't have a clue where to even start on that.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
:: Still pacing furiously back and forth on the bridge:: CIV Do it!
CMO_Kymar says:
%::sighs a little before holding it in. he didn't need to lower anyone's spirits:: Tanaka: Then keep an eye on S'lav, I will head outside to find water when Stabitt wakes up
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Aye, Doctor. Be careful out there.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Sets a series of probes and programs them to run, in sequence, following the edge of the QIb's sensor range, each probe moving further out to the extent of the previous probe's sensor range.::
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Probes will be ready in approximately five minutes, captain.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles and taps his holstered phaser pistol:: Tanaka: I'll be fine
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: wonders what is going on ::

ACTION: A loud evil-sounding squawk from outside the cave signifies how fine the doctor will most likely be

Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Request permission to have a warp shuttle equipped with as many warp-capable probes as it can carry.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::ignores the squawk and takes his tricorder back before starting to calibrate it to find the tiniest trace of water::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: To be transported from the circle?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles to himself as he finished and starts scanning around the cave and as far out as he possibly can::
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Negative, Captain.  I intend to follow the path with the shuttle, and lay probes as a path.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Use the Odin. The Challenger is still equipped with the stealth module, and the Odin is the next largest shuttle we have.
Civ_Stelakh says:
EO:  Stelakh to Engineer, please respond.
 Civ_Stelakh says:
::Launches the probes::
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Probes away, Captain.
EO_Starfire says:
*CIV*:Here Sir.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::folds his tricorder up and slips it into his belt before walking over to the medical kit he found with the survivors and begins emptying it out until all he has is a water-tight metal box:: Tanaka: There is water in small amounts in the puddles 100 meters from here. I'm going to fill this med kit with water and come back...it should last us
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::watches the view screen as the probes take off from the ship::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*EO*:  Kindly load the Odin with as many warp-capable sensor probes as possible and prepare it for launch.
EO_Starfire says:
*CIV*:Yes,Sir.
EO_Starfire says:
::begins loading the probes::

ACTION: More loud squawks from outside the Doctor's cave

CMO_Kymar says:
%::pulls the spare energy clip from his belt and tosses it to Tanaka:: Tanaka: If I don’t...you may need that to power something, either the light or one of those machines. I got one still in my phaser so I'll be fine
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Mr. Stelakh, what about sending a subspace transmitter as beacons to the different destinations? Would that work?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: contemplates contacting the ship for orders but thinks better of it and remains on alert ::
CMO_Kymar says:
::stands back up with the empty medkit and nudges Stabitt with his foot:: Stabitt: Get up, I need you to look after everyone while I’m gone
Tanaka says:
%I'll remember that, sir.
Stabitt says:
%CMO: urrr.. I'll do my best.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  To a degree, Captain, yes.  The probes should have subspace transmitters, with which they are able to receive commands and send data.
EO_Starfire says:
::finishes loading the probes::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::un-holsters his phaser pistol and starts walking towards the exit, looking back over his shoulder:: Tanaka: Be right back
Lucas_Walker says:
@::Looks at the targeting box thing again:: COMM: *QIb*: Away team to QIb.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: You have good news for me Mr. Walker!
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, request at least one Tactical officer accompany me when I depart on the Odin.
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *QIb*: Uhm... Nnnnyes?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::reaches the mouth of the cave and looks around outside before quietly sneaking around and heading for the forest:: Self: God I hope I don't get myself killed
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Granted
EO_Starfire says:
::Goes to the Shuttlebay panel and readies the shuttle for launch::

ACTION: Down on the planet, near the assembled security group, one of the large standing stones makes a somewhat uneasy cracking sound

Civ_Stelakh says:
::Turns to the computer and transfers his current data to the shuttle's onboard systems::
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *QIb*:  But anyway. Do you, by any chance, have the telemetry data from the last full beam emitted, the one that Kymar was caught in?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Then what news do you have for me Mr. Walker?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::swiftly and quietly jogs towards the forest, checking his tricorder once along the way:: Self: 50 meters, half-way there...
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: turns toward the creaking stone and motions for her team to take cover, pulling a tricorder ::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Looks over at OPS who nods in the affirmative::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Yes we do.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: scans the stones once more ::
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Steps away from the science console and makes his way to the turbolift.::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*EO*:  Stelakh to Starfire.  Is the Odin ready for departure?
EO_Starfire says:
*CIV*:Yes,Sir.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: finds a large fault in the stone caused by micro-fractures over the last few hours ::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::keeps jogging, the forest line drawing closer as he looks left and right with his phaser pistol held out in front of him::
Lucas_Walker says:
@::Presses Tricorder to data transceiver mode, database to accept:: COMM: *QIb*: Mind downloading some to my tricorder?
Civ_Stelakh says:
Lift:  Shuttlebay.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@COMM: *CO*: Sir, one of the stones now has a large fault in it, micro-fracture forming over the last few hours ::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Nods to the OPS Officer to do as Walker requested::

ACTION: A large shadow forms over the Doctor, then passes just as quickly

OPS says:
::begins pressing buttons to send Walker the requested data::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::shudders and jogs into the trees, hiding himself beneath the massive branches and quickly searching out a large puddle::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: On it's way.
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *QIb*: Roger.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: CTO: Report that to Mr. Walker Commander, and stay away from that circle.
EO_Roger_Chase says:
::On the bridge of the QIb while the comm comes in:: Huh?
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Stops off at the armory before he heads to the shuttle bay, picking up several phasers and tricorders, then makes his way to Sickbay and picks up four med-kits.::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::ducks down near a relatively large puddle and dips the med-kit into it, filling it up with the water before closing it back up and slinging it onto his back:: Self: Made it here, now I have to make it back
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@*Walker*: One of the stones now has a large fault in it, micro-fracture forming over the last few hours
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Finally makes his heavy-laden way to the shuttlebay::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::begins the jog back to the cave, looking all around him and keeping his phaser arm straight::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: monitors the fault ::
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Enters the shuttle and stows the equipment.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::thinking that Gibbon and Walker making that thing spout off more than usual is probably what has caused the crack in the rock::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*CO*:  Stelakh to Q'Tor.  Request permission to depart QIb.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*Stelakh*: Permission granted.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Powers up the shuttle and begins launch protocols.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Open the shuttle bay doors

ACTION: A large shape appears over the doctor, again, squawking

Lucas_Walker says:
@::looks at the telemetry data on the tricorder, responding to Ravenprowler in an absent tone:: *CTO*: Acknowledged, commander.. I can't think anything to do about that.. ::tries to hold from saying the line he wants to say but can't:: .. I'm an engineer, not a stone mason.
OPS says:
::Presses the necessary buttons to open the shuttle bay doors::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::looks up and starts to run as fast as he can towards the cave, yelling:: Bird: Not gonna get me!
Lucas_Walker says:
@::Looks through the destination computer for a correlation on telemetry::

ACTION: The giant leathery-winged ... thing... swoops at the doctor

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Once the shuttle is clear of the bay, he inputs the beam's trajectory and departs at the full warp capability of the TYPE IX shuttle.::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::leaps forward into a roll, coming up facing the other way and fires off a few shots at the bird thing::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@::thinks she should get a closer look at the fractures, but stays put as ordered ::

ACTION: The leathery-winged creature squawks in pain, and swoops away, a few holes visible in one wing

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Links the shuttle computer to the previously launched probes, and begins reading their data.::
Lucas_Walker says:
@::turns as if inspired and looks into his tricorder before gazing up into nowhere and tapping his commbadge:: *COMM: QIb*: Away Team to QIb, I  think I'm on to something..
CMO_Kymar says:
%::takes aim through the scope as it flies away and fires off another shot:: Self: We need food, too
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *QIb*: If we fire this thing off, every 10 seconds or so, switching destinations each time and you check the telemetry of it, compare it to the telemetry of the previous beam we should be able to find a match of the destinations.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::watches the bird fly away and sighs, tapping the med kit and starting his jog back to the cave:: Self: I got water, thats what we need
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: You are aware of the fracture in one of the stones are you not Mr. Walker?

ACTION: More squawking from the forest area, from the sound of it at least four of the creatures

CMO_Kymar says:
%::ducks into the cave mouth panting and hands the med kit to Tanaka:: Tanaka: Told you I would be back. Try and save the water, give some to S'lav first then yourself and Stabitt
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: If that stone should break would that affect the function of the beam?
Lucas_Walker says:
COMM: *CO*: Yes, Q'tor but I don't know what to do with it.. I'm hoping it will work fine.. I suspect it just means we don't have many chances left, but I see no other option.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Thank you, Doctor. What's it like out there?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Very well. Ship's sensors are concentrated on the circle.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Ties the shuttle's communications in so that he cay relay back along the probe path.::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles and sits down on a rock:: Tanaka: Cold. Only drink a little of the water at a time, and try to make sure S'lav swallows all of his
Lucas_Walker says:
COMM: *CO*: I'd like ships sensors to track the telemetry as best as you can and get a correlation.. may we begin?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Whenever you're ready Mr. Walker.
Tanaka says:
%::carefully pours the water into S'lav's mouth::
S’lav says:
%::coughs a little::
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *AT*: Walker all Away team members, we're about to discharge the device so if you're within the stone circle get out before Kansas goes bye-bye..
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: Moves her team off and takes cover ::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::looks around at the rag-tag bunch of people:: All: We'll be fine. I'm sure that they are trying everything they can to get us help
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::As the shuttle passes the last of the launched probes, he waits until he reaches the limit of that probe's range and drops another from the shuttle.::
Lucas_Walker says:
@Korvak: Yo, Korvak.. do your thing. ::looks back at the targetting computer and sets it to A before Korvak starts::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Stelakh to QIb.  Captain Q'Tor, I have reached the limit of the range of the probes launched from QIb, and have begun laying probes further along the heading from the shuttle itself.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Understood Mr. Stelakh. You may want to stay slightly off to the side of the trajectory.
Korvak says:
@::grins and sticks the engineering microprobe in the port to make the room shake again::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COM:  *QIb*:  Please elaborate, Captain.

ACTION: dust falls from the ceiling in Walker's cave, the stone circle starts to hum, and another beam fires off into who-knows-where

CMO_Kymar says:
%::starts collecting a few rocks from around the place, stacking them up in a clearing until they are quite large before pulling out his phaser pistol and firing at them with a low level burst::

ACTION: Another loud crack from the damaged stone

CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles to himself and everyone around:: All: Heat, another thing we need
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Mr. Walker and his team are firing that beam in order to determine the trajectory of each destination. I don't want you caught in it.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  If I am caught in the beam, it is possible that it will take me to Mr. Kymar's destination, Captain.
Lucas_Walker says:
@::Changes the destination:: COMM: *QIb*: Any luck?

ACTION: The beam hurtles towards Stelakh's shuttle

 Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Looks to the OPS Officer to make sure sensors had the trajectory of the burst::

ACTION: The first probe is hit, and smashed into tiny pieces

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Drops another probe::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: CIV: Evasive action now Mr. Stelakh!

ACTION: The beam smashes through another probe

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Notes that the probe is destroyed, and activates the shuttles aft shields at 200%.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: MOVE!!!
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Evasive maneuvers under way, Captain.

ACTION: The beam smashes through the remaining probes, hits the shuttle, and knocks it into a spin. Power flickers for an instant before coming back up.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Civ*: Mr. Stelakh report!
Civ_Stelakh says:
&Computer:  Damage report.
Shuttle_Computer says:
&CIV: Aft shields down to 10%, minor damage to starboard thrusters, all other systems nominal
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  I am uninjured, Captain, although the shuttle has received minor damage to starboard thrusters.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::turns his phaser pistol over in his hands, running his finger over the power settings as he sighs::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::peers over at S'lav, who he hoped was getting better, and then to Stabitt and Tanaka who were warming themselves near the fire::
Tanaka says:
%::smiles back at the doctor nervously::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain Q'tor, has a destination sequence been found for the beam?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::"You know, if the dying one kicks the bucket we could eat him...":: Self: Nobody is getting eaten...
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: We have the trajectory recorded Mr. Walker. It matches the trajectory of the beam that took the Doctor and crewman Stabitt.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Stand by Mr. Stelakh. We're awaiting confirmation.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Launches the rest of the probes, in the same sequence as he did from the QIb.::
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *QIb*:  Ok that was lucky.. I'm going to shoot through the three non-teleporting pulses quickly to prime it for transit. ::frowns at his technical language..::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::holsters his phaser pistol and kneels down next to S'lav, pulling out his tricorder and scanning him::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Brings the shuttle to full stop.::
Lucas_Walker says:
@::nods to Korvak to do the port thing three more times quickly::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Just be careful Mr. Walker. I don't want to see how that stone breaking would affect this whole thing.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: scans the stone again ::
Korvak says:
@::jiggles the port another three times in succession::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Stelakh to QIb.  What is your status?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@*Walker*: You got maybe three or four more tries with these stones, they are looking pretty ropey.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::folds up his tricorder and turns back to Tanaka and Stabitt:: Tanaka/Stabitt: He will be fine once we get out of here...
Lucas_Walker says:
@*CTO* Thank you commander, but hopefully one more should be all we need.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: We are awaiting confirmation about the beam's destination. Stand by.
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: CO: Q'tor.. Looks like we're ready to send something to Kymar..
CMO_Kymar says:
%::looks up from the glowing stones:: Tanaka: Do you think we could somehow send a message to the QIb using our comm badges?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO*: Ensign Starfire. Prepare the shuttle to'Q to be landed within the stone circle by remote.
EO_Starfire says:
*CO*:Yes,Sir.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO*: Also make sure it has emergency rations and medical supplies just in case it does end up in the same place as the doctor.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Powers up the engines and warps off again, in his original direction::
EO_Starfire says:
*CO*:Yes,Sir.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Excellent Mr. Walker. Do you know if you will be able to bring him back?
EO_Starfire says:
::gets some emergency rations and water and stocks the shuttle with them::
Lucas_Walker says:
COMM: *CO*: I can't find any mechanism for a return.. I assume it's one way and the destination planet has it's own ring.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Very well.  We are preparing a shuttle to be placed inside the circle.
EO_Starfire says:
::puts the remote mechanism in the shuttle::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO*: Ensign, inform me as soon as the shuttle is ready.
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *CO*: Two options.. either send your shuttle.. but we don't know how it has to travel.. or find the ring on the other planet.
EO_Starfire says:
*CO*:It is almost ready,Sir.
Lucas_Walker says:
@COMM: *CO*: Maybe I should go, I should be able to operate the ring and bring him back.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::The shuttle continues on its way, following the trajectory of the beam::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@::yawns and tries not to fall asleep ::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Walker*: Send me instructions Mr. Walker. I'll make sure they are on the shuttle along with emergency supplies. Hopefully the shuttle works, or at the very least the Doctor is able follow the instructions.
EO_Starfire says:
*CO*:It is ready Sir.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::sits back down on his rock and warms his hands silently::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO*: Standby Ensign.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::awaits the instructions from Mr. Walker::
Lucas_Walker says:
@::sets the destination and sets his tricorder to start recording a video, turns it's lense/sensor thing on him and starts explaining the system to the tricorder::
