CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: standing thinking::
XO_Horn says:
@::on the ground, focusing on the hole in the ground::
CO_Q`tor says:
::pacing the bridge wondering what is happening down below::
EO_Walker says:
@::Opens Tricorder and places it back-down on the scanning equipment in active mode::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::frowns at the hideous green slime on the floor beneath her and slowly sits up::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Captain, Stelakh is near the bottom of the hole.  No sign yet of the security team.
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: I take it everything else is proceeding without incident?
XO_Horn says:
@::senses Stelakh lose consciousness::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::attempts to wipe some off her face and smears it some more::  Self: ugh  ::stands up slowly and looks around the dark slimey room.. feeling her way with her hands and tring not to slip on the moist ground::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Captain, I believe Stelakh just passed out.  I'm sending the CTO down to recover him and search for the security team.
EO_Walker says:
@::puts backpack on the floor and rummages around it for some equipment he needs::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: peers over the edge still standing there thinking how she hates this ::
CO_Q`tor says:
:;doesn't like the sound of that:: *XO*: Very well commander. Do what you must, just keep me updated.
XO_Horn says:
@CTO: The CIV is unconscious.  Take someone with you, and get down there.
EO_Walker says:
@::Pulls out one of those wrist-band-torches and puts it on so he can see into the back propperly::

ACTION: The CSO slips over on the slime, landing on her butt.

XO_Horn says:
@CTO: Send someone back up with the CIV so he's safe while you look for the security team and the CSO.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: hides a smirk and motions to Martins, ties off to an antigrav unit and begins to climb out :
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::grunts then remains seated.  Turns on the light attached to her wrist and finds herself in a small cavern covered in green goo::  Self: Well, I wanted to explore the planet.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: Poe belays the CTO's line and watches the CIV's ::
EO_Walker says:
@::Clips various pieces of equipment to his belt and feels very much like he looks the part now::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: repels quickly down the wall ::
EO_Walker says:
@::Picks up the tricorder and does another quick scan for lifeforms, becoming somewhat paranoid of being sneaked up on, then cotinues work on the scanning equipment::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::crawls on her hands and knees toward the walls looking for a way out..... mumbles to herself about sore butts and gook in her hair::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: lands next to the CIV and scans him, just a lil bump on the head. Vulcans are so fragile, nods to Martin's to take him back  up and sets out to find the CSO and the rest of her team ::
EO_Walker says:
@::sets the scanner running and starts to wonder off away from the engineering team, not feeling welcome, with tricorder in hand just to have a look around::

ACTION: A loud wail echoes through the shaft the CTO is in.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@*XO*: Ma'am CIV is unconcious but stable he is on the way up with Martins ::
XO_Horn says:
@::concentrates on the sounds she hearing, searching for a lifeform::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: Marches off down the shaft looking for the others following the wailing ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::digs her fingers along the slime on the walls grimacing all the while::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@<<Martins>>:: Fireman carries the wounded CIV on the rope as CHarlie team pulls them UP ::
XO_Horn says:
@::feels the hair on her neck stand up::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: pulls out a palm beacon and sloshes through the green goo in the direction of Betazoid lifesigns ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: I am sensing something alien. Immeasurably old down with the crew.
XO_Horn says:
@::senses a lifeform and focuses more intensely on it::

ACTION: The CTO slips on the goo, landing on her butt.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Self: Great, probably the guy that made this mess.  ::finds a small crevice in the goo and pushes her hands through::
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Is it a threat?
FCO_MJDoole says:
~~~~XO: Are you all alright? I am sensing something alien. Immeasurably old down there with you.~~~~
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@::stands up and keeps moving ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::feels an opening on the other side and squishes her way into the opening::
XO_Horn says:
@~~~FCO: We're fine.  I'm sensing it to.  Tricorders aren't reading anything.~~~
EO_Walker says:
@::finds a rock and sits down on it in the middle of nowhere and starts typing a text message on his tricorder::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Sir, we have a lifeform down here with us.  Tricorders can't locate it.  Nothing is penetrating this rock.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: stumbles over a leg and stops to find DloraH face down and quickly scans him ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Doesn't feel that way at the moment
FCO_MJDoole says:
~~~~XO: Are you sensing anything threating from it?~~~~
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: turns him over and begins to drag him back to the cliff, relieved he will be alright ::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Request a heavy sensor sweep from the ship.  Maybe your sensors can penetrate this rock.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: watches as Martins decends and nod to him to take DloraH next. ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@:: exits the gooey cavern into a drier cavern but no less dark.  with her palm beacon she looks around and reaches for her tricorder to find that its no longer on her::
XO_Horn says:
@~~~FCO: I don't think so.  But I can't even figure out this things emotions.  I've never contacted anything like this before.~~~
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. Have your security detail on full alert.

ACTION: The green slimy tunnels reverberate as an incredibly loud howl echoes from all directions

XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Captain, if this detail gets more on edge, we'll need a CNS down here.  Trust me, these men are ready.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: pulls her bat'leth and heads out looking for the others ::
EO_Walker says:
@::Sends a text message to Q'tor's command chair on the QIb from his tricorder saying "bored dwn ere.Nothin 4 me 2 do.Can i beam bck?"::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Request permission to join the away team. I feel my abilities maybe of better use down there, where I'll be closer to this "presence".

ACTION: A tinny tune emits from the arm of the CO's chair, accompanied by Walker's message.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Self: I hate when they wail and howl without showing themselves.
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. ::thinks to himself "how wonderful. We don't have a counselor"

ACTION: A slimey bipedal creature slurps across the floor towards the CSO

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@ :: shines her palm beacon on the floor of the shaft finding foot prints about the right size for the CSO ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: follow the path with her beam of light finding it disappears into a hole ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::sits in his chair and reads the message from Walker:: Self: Bah!!! ::hits the delete button::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Self: Hmm..... I hate when I can't find the crewmates in a dark cavern.  ::waits for them to appear::

ACTION: The slimy creatre howls at the CSO, baring teeth from inside it's green-slime-dripping mouth

EO_Walker says:
@::Sends another txt message to Q'tor's command chair saying "plz? :-)"::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::slowly pulls out her kutluch and lowers to a defensive posture::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: tries to fit through the hole but is too big so yells :: *CSO*: JULIA!!

ACTION: The creature howls at the CSO, and gloops closer.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ Self: Wow, it works.  CTO: I'm here Tigs... but I'm not alone.
XO_Horn says:
@::sees DloraH emerge from the shaft with Stelakh and moves to them::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@CSO: Well come on outta there Julia  I can't get to you.

ACTION: Another howl comes from the corridor behind the CTO

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ ::backs away from the creature eyeing it and the room, measuring the area for the scuffle::
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Denied. We may need your piloting skills in a hurry. Besides, I can't have my enitire command crew down there.
XO_Horn says:
@::scans the CIV and finds a concussion::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: pulls her phaser and lifts her bat'elth ::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Requesting transport for CIV Stelakh, he has been injured.
OPS_Urgle says:
CO: Sir, sensors are detecting a change in weather patterns, the interference has returned... we're no longer able to beam our people back up.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: I'm a little busy right now.  And besides, I don't relish the thought of getting back in there.  ::circles the creature keeping an eye on its teeth::
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Understood. OPS: beam all injured personnel directly to sickbay.

ACTION: The gloopy creature pounces on the CSO, as another emerges from behind the CTO and charges at her.

CO_Q`tor says:
*Sickbay*: Captain to sickbay, prepare for incoming wounded.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@;; leaps out of the way and comes crashing down on it's head with her bat'leth ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::leans back in chair, laces fingers, a blank stare comes over face.....tries to reach the "presence" telepathically::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: phasers the beast level 20 ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::holds up her arm to keep the creature neck from her face and penetrates its under belly with her blade... turning the blade to make sure the wound doesn't close::

ACTION: The CTO's opponent is vaporised.

EO_Walker says:
@::gets off his rock and heads back tot he scanning equipment to see if it's given any answers yet, mumbling to himself on the way:: self: what was the name of that planet with the disaster thing with the ferengi?
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Captain, I just sensed the CSO and the CTO being attacked.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@CSO: JULIA, I have the way out come out of there.
Host Matt_ says:
CO: No, it's no use.. I'm trying the transport, but I can't get a lock.
Host Matt_ says:
CO: Wait. I got something...
XO_Horn says:
@*EO* Have you located the cave Mr. Walker?
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Quy'vatlh!

ACTION: The transporter beam locks onto the EO through the interference and beams him to sickbay.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ ::grunts and shouts::  CTO:Give me a second.  ::rolls around the floor with the creature::
FCO_MJDoole says:
~~~~"Presence: Who or what are you? Why did you attack those two people?"~~~~

ACTION: The presence either ignores the FCO, or is unable to respond

CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Assign a pilot and get an EVAC shuttle down there.
EO_Walker says:
@::As the transport sequence begins:: Self: what the? ::gets taken apparent molecule by molecule and misses the XO's comm because of the lack of substance at the time::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: pulls her bat'leth from the head of the beast kicking it in the jaw as he moves down the corridor finding what she thinks is the rest of the team huddleds in a protected area away from the beasts :;
EO_Walker says:
::Arrives in sickbay on a biobed, rather confused:: Uh..

ACTION: The creature struggling with the CSO impales itself on her blade during the fight

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@  ::repeatedly stabs the creature trying to sharpen its teeth on her neck::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: the rest of the injured team musters and heads back to where the CSO is still playing with the beast ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@CSO: Julia, whenever you are ready.

ACTION: The heavy, gloopy creature falls limp on top of the CSO

MO says:
::frowns at Walker, taking scans:: Walker: You're not injured... ::trails to mumbling:: ... our captain is a hypocondriac klingon by-proxy.. if there ever was such a thing.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: motions to the team to tie off at the cliff ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::now covered in slime, creature, and what appears to be the creatures purplish blood oozing all over her she sighs, then heaves him off her and takes a deep breath.::
EO_Walker says:
::leaves sickbay and another of Kymar's weirdo doctors and heads back to the bridge via a turbolift::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Captain, the weather is changing down here.  Can you beam up the CIV or do we take cover?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: thinks about blowing a hole in the wall and dragging the CSO out of there ::

ACTION: A strong wind whistles down the tunnel, chilling the AT to the bone

EO_Walker says:
::steps off the turbolift after going down a few decks, forward a few sections and up more decks than he went down, looking at Q'tor:: CO: I didn't know you cared, Q'tor.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ ::makes her way over to the CTO and cringes at the thought of having to go in the green room again.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@;; stifles a laugh at the CSO and points the direction of the lines and trudges off ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@:: turns around and listens to the wind.... ::

ACTION: A number of howls, louder and deeper than before, echo around the green slimy tunnels

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CTO: Where are you going?
XO_Horn says:
@~~~FCO: I don't like this. I can't figure that thing out but the howls are increasing.~~~
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Commander, I am sending an EVAC shuttle. You are in a cave. How does the weather change in a cave?

ACTION: The entire area quakes, and can be felt both on the "surface" area and the tunnels below

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: ties off and waits for the CSO:: CSO: my orders are to find you and get you out of here, Julia tie off please.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: Where is the rest of the team?  ::approaches the lines::
CO_Q`tor says:
EO: What are you doing here Mr. Walker? You're supposed to be with the away team!
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@CSO: already headed out.
XO_Horn says:
@*CO*: There's wind coming through here sir.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CTO: Did they find anything useful?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: begins to climb the cliff ::

ACTION: The beginnings of a blizzard outside can now be noticed, as snowflakes are blown forcefully into the cave on the surface.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: CSO: Yes they found you.
EO_Walker says:
::walks to the centre of the bridge with Q'tor.. ironically about 2 cm away from the exact spot he was a couple of hours ago:: CO: I was.. then I was in sickbay.. and now I'm here.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@:: grins, then heads up as best she can with all the slime on her::
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Then I would recommend that you take cover until the EVAC shuttle arrives Commander.

ACTION: The CSO and CTO climb past the many tunnels leaving the main shaft. However, one now is dimly-lit, where before all were dark...

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: feels for more hand holds and climbs up CSO in tow ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: Got a tricorder on you?
XO_Horn says:
@::orders DloraH to take the CIV between some of the crates for protection::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: There is a light in that tunnel.  I think we should check it out.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: CSO: Tricoders are non-functional, communication is down ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::looks at the EO irritatedly:: EO: Well.... don't just stand there... make yourself useful.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: keeps climbing up following the XO's orders::
XO_Horn says:
@::paces near the edge of the shaft::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: I still think we should check it out.  crawls near the opening.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@::Shouts:: XO: PULL US UP!!!
XO_Horn says:
@::hears the CTO, grabs the lines, and starts pulling them up::

ACTION: The CSO puts her hand on a small cube as she crawls

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@CSO: We are ordered to the surface Julia.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ ::grins at the CTO's shout::  CTO: You always did hate.....
EO_Walker says:
::frowns at Q'tor, again, his usual frown heads back to the engineering console at the back of the bridge::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ ::looks down at whatever she touched::

ACTION: Both CTO and CSO are pulled away from the tunnel forcefully, the cube coming away in the CSO's hand.

EO_Walker says:
::takes a seat and gets that "I don't like starfleet" feeling again and glares at the officers on the bridge intermittently::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::grunts at the force of the lines and holds on::
XO_Horn says:
@::feels the sudden strain on the line, digging her feet in to keep ahold::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: step up the cliff climbing gracefully upwards, pulling Julia along ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@ CTO: I got us a souvenir.  ::climbs up over the edges::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: glares at the CSO, standing to her full height XO: Mission accomplished Ma'am.

ACTION: The ground quakes again, and a spurt of flame emits from the shaft just as everyone is safely out.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@:: still on her knees with the object in her hands and completely covered in green and purple goo she looks up at XO Horn::
XO_Horn says:
@::stands up:: CTO: Good. ::is knocked back a few steps by the flame::

ACTION: A loud, deep growl comes from the shaft.

XO_Horn says:
@::moves back toward the shaft:: CSO/CTO: Evac team is on it's way.  Get ready to go.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: shakes the green goo from her bat'leth and wipes it on her pants, moving quickly away from the edge away from perdition's flames looking for the injured she grabs a medkit ::

ACTION: The cave starts to shake more violently, and pieces of the ceiling start to fall

CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Have that EVAC Shuttle launch as soon as it's ready
EO_Walker says:
::glares at the officers again, particularly Q'tor and starts his own little 'work' on the ship's secure personnel database::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::after ducking the flames she quickly gets to her feet and looks for the way out::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: begins to attend the wounded ::
XO_Horn says:
@All: Let's move.  Everybody to the entrance.
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Sir, we need that shuttle now.
CSO_Lorenzo says:

@CTO: Can you carry him?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::slips again with all the slime on her boots and quickly gets back up::

ACTION: A couple of the engineering crates beamed down earlier fall into the shaft

EO_Walker says:
::Remembers that Lorenzo is down there on the planet still and changes his work to the transporter::

ACTION: Large cracks appear in the floor, almost as if chasing after the fleeing AT

EO_Walker says:
::Increases the power to the targetting sensors and the ACB::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: thinks now where is that shuttle, moves quickly away from the rapidly disintegrating shaft ::

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: moves off looking for the XO ::

ACTION: Pieces of debris are thrown back up again, as a huge, winged, creature emerges from the remains of the shaft, sheathed in flames

XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Things are quaking apart, where's that shuttle?
EO_Walker says:
::Sets the ACB width to maximum with as much resolution as possible on all the transporter systems and gets an idea:: CO: Say, boss. If that shuttle isn't going to make it we could try and beam the entire away team at once. Wide Annular Confinement beam.. get them to huddle together.. should catch them all in one go.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: pulls her phaser and aims ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@:: taking deep breaths she looks up at the CTO then back at the sealed cave::  CTO: thanks commander.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
@::sits on the floor of the shuttle with the cube in her hands and looks up at the CTO::
XO_Horn says:
@*CO* Captain, we've got something on the planet and it's loose.  I wouldn't recommend we hang around to study it after the shuttle is on board.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
@CTO: Wouldn't life be boring without my near death experiences?
EVAC Leader says:
%::Hails QIb:: EVAC Team to CO. We have the AT. Permission to redock in Main Shuttlebay
