TAC Williams says:
CSO:: What do you think that structure is?

EO Jones says:
::Exits Shuttle and proceeds to bridge to meet the CO::

CSO Toorain says:
TO:I have little idea.  Hopefully we'll be able to find out.

CTO Raven says:
CO: Nothing; he has a good record and had good psyche evaluations in the past.  I need to speak with CNS upon his return.

EO Jones says:
::Enters TL:: Computer : Bridge.

CMO Gordon says:

CSO Toorain says:
TO: Indeed.  Or, maybe we won't encounter any.  As long as we don't run into any arachnids.

CSO Toorain says:
*Bridge* Sir, has our new EO arrived yet? If so, I request his presence on the AT.

CTO Raven says:
:: nods to new EO ::  EO: Welcome aboard, mate.

TAC Williams says:
CSO: Yes, they could be a little difficult to handle if the web you saw is any indication

EO Jones says:
::Hands CO a PADD containing transfer orders:: CO-Ktyla: Sir here are my transfer orders.

CO Guthrie says:
*CSO* I want regular reports on your progress once you've begun scans.

CSO Toorain says:
EO: Welcome aboard.  If you'd like to step up here, we can get started.

CSO Toorain says:
*CO* Of course sir.

TAC Williams says:
EO:: G'day, Names Steve, are you ready?

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Keep a lock on them.

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Aye Captain.

EO Jones says:
Tac-Steve: Yep I'm ready.  By the way who's in charge today?

CMO Gordon says:
::walks onto transporter pad::

CSO Toorain says:
TRChief: Put us down inside the moat please.

CMO Gordon says:
CSO: The moat?

EO Jones says:
::Walks on to pad::

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: Scan for any vessels in the area. That structure below surely means others have been here.

CSO Toorain says:
CMO: There's a moat of quicksand surrounding the structure.

TAC Williams says:
EO: CSO is.

EO Jones says:
@ CSO Toorain: don't know.  ::Pulls out tricorder to pick up on the noise::

CSO Toorain says:

TAC Williams says:
@CMO: Is it poisonous

CSO Toorain says:
@ALL: Be careful.  Let's go in ::indicates toward structure::

CMO Gordon says:
@ TO: Let me check. ::scans::

CSO Toorain says:
@::slowly walks right up to the building, looking at the strange glyphs::

FCO tr’Keir says:

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::reads conclusions:: TO: Your lucky it is no harm but others might be.

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Aye Captain.

TAC Williams says:
@CMO: Thanks ::Continues security sweep::

CTO Raven says:
CO: There are no traces within our orbit, I'll try a sweep on the crashed ships.

CSO Toorain says:
@::breathing rate increases slightly:: *CO* Sir, there are more arachnids down here.

CSO Toorain says:
@::runs the glyph patterns through the tricorder::

CO Guthrie says:
FCO/CTO: I'd also like for you two to see if you can come up with any additional data on this system. The lack of debris... or asteroids of any sort... is rather atypical. ::frowns::

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: You are panicking. Try to calm down.

EO Jones says:
@ ::Begins to scan for the dilithium crystals reported earlier::

CTO Raven says:
CO: Those wrecks are scattered throughout the continent but the last one crashed a few thousand years ago.

CSO Toorain says:
@CMO:I know I'm panicking, it's called arachnophobia.

CO Guthrie says:
::shudders:: *CSO* Large ones?

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::laughs::

TAC Williams says:
@:CSO: Are you OK

CSO Toorain says:
@*CO* Small ones so far.  But if you hear my scream, bring us up.  Please.

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO Raven says:
:: turns to science station to access planetary database ::

CSO Toorain says:
@TO: I'll be fine.  Let's just concentrate on the job.  Everyone look for an entrance.

TAC Williams says:
@CSO: It should be OK we have our weapons ::hopes they will be enough::

EO Jones says:
@ CSO Toorain: I'm getting some odd readings about 1 kilometer below the surface.

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Shall we lock torpedoes on the arachnids to comfort the CSO Captain ::jokingly::

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::reads off tricorder:: All: I'm picking up some more spiders. ::Grins::

CSO Toorain says:
@::looks at tricorder:: AT: These glyphs look like some kind of welcome...I can't make out the rest.

CSO Toorain says:
@EO: Clarify.

CO Guthrie says:
::laughs:: FCO: Not necessary... yet. ::mutters:: But if those things get on board, I'm gonna have phasers blasting in both hands....::sits back in her chair::

FCO tr’Keir says:
::laughs::

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::walks towards CSO to see results and in one way monitors CSO's progress::

EO Jones says:
@ CSO Toorain: Not sure but it seems to be like a power source.

CSO Toorain says:
@AT: We have to get inside this thing. ::points to crack:: TO: Can you widen that?

FCO tr’Keir says:
::starts checking the database as well on the system::

TAC Williams says:
::continues searching outside of structure for an entrance::

CTO Raven says:
CO:  There's nothing unusual in the Federation files; I'll try a closer scan of the wreck.

CSO Toorain says:
@TO: It might be a door of some kind. ::walks toward it::

EO Jones says:
@ ::continues to try and locate the power source on the tricorder and ID it::

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: Anything you can discover about the ships on the surface would be appreciated. ::thinks:: Perhaps there may be some way to restore power to one of them and access their computers...

CSO Toorain says:
@::gently pushes against crack in wall::

AS THE CSO PUSHES A DOOR OPENS TO PERMIT ENTRANCE

TAC Williams says:
@CSO: any idea what this thing is made of

CSO Toorain says:
@::looks around:: AT: Let's go in ::walks through door::

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::follows the CSO::

TAC Williams says:
@CSO: I'll take point :: heads towards opening cautiously::

XO Guthrie says:
::in TR, preparing to beam down::

EO Jones says:
@ ::Looks at the door:: CSO Toorain: The readings I'm getting are coming beyond this door.

A LONG HALLWAY IS REVEALED ON THE INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE

CTO Raven says:
FCO: I need more power to the sensors...

TAC Williams says:
::moves past the rest of the AT to take the lead position::

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: watch out for spiders...

CSO Toorain says:
@::steps back to let TO go ahead::

FCO tr’Keir says:
COM: AT: Stand by, the XO is beaming down to your position.

EO Jones says:
@ ::Follows everyone else::

XO Guthrie says:

MORE GLYPHS ARE TO BE SEEN HALFWAY DOWN THE 5 METER HALLWAY

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Report.

FCO tr’Keir says:
::allocates more power to sensors::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: We've found a door, there are spiders around.

CMO Gordon says:
@ TO: I'll cover the back.

EO Jones says:
@ ::Notices the Glyphs::

CO Guthrie says:
::stands and paces:: *CSO* How are things, Mr. Toorain?

TAC Williams says:
@ALL AT: Keep your eyes open and minds on the job, I don't like this ::heads down hallway::

CSO Toorain says:
@*CO* Fine thank you sir.  We've found a door, and we're going in.

CO Guthrie says:
*CSO* Acknowledged. Keep me informed.

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Have you scanned the building......?

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: Still panicking or just afraid or spiders eh?

CSO Toorain says:
@*CO* Aye sir.

CTO Raven says:
:: runs major hull fragments through a ship recognizer ::  CO: That ship doesn't match anything we know of.

EO Jones says:
@ ::Looks at the glyphs::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: There's a power source about a km down sir, we're looking for it

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::follows everyone::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: We're also trying to identify the purpose of this structure.

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: And where's our archeology specialist....?

CO Guthrie says:
::moves toward CTO's position:: CTO: Nothing...? ::reads over his shoulder::

TAC Williams says:
:: moves past glyphs so CSO can examine them::

EO Jones says:
@ ::Scans the Glyphs to see if they are recognizable by the tricorder::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: Sir...?

CTO Raven says:
:: examines some other ships, pointing :: CO: Look here, this looks pretty advanced.  Some sort of flight drive...

CSO Toorain says:
@::runs the tricorder over the new glyphs::

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: These could be warnings.

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: Ones on the outside indicated a welcome.

AS THE AT FINALLY GETS WITHIN THE BLDG THE DOOR SWINGS SILENTLY SHUT A MAJOR FORCE FIELD SNAPS INTO POSITION AROUND THE QIb

CMO Gordon says:
@ XO: We don’t have a archeology specialist sir....

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Captain a force field has surrounded the ship!!

EO Jones says:
@ All: What was that?

CO Guthrie says:
::peruses data:: CTO: Indeed... very advanced. I wonder if we could restore power to one of these vessels...?

XO Guthrie says:
@::turns to Toorain:: CSO: Not one officer competent in archeology in your entire department....?

THE HELM NO LONGER WILL RESPOND TO CONTROLS

TAC Williams says:
@ALL AT;; The door :looks at door now closed::

CO Guthrie says:
::starts:: FCO: What?! How?

CO Guthrie says:
::moves back to center chair:: FCO: Source!

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: we're all competent at most things sir.

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Don't know, the helm will no longer respond either!

CO Guthrie says:
::frowns:: FCO: Are you able to maintain orbit?

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Decoding this writing could give us more than simply entering the building....

FCO tr’Keir says:
::scans for source of force field::

CTO Raven says:
:: startled, pulls up engineering monitors ::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: I've got the tricorder working on it right now.

CSO Toorain says:
@::looks down as it beeps to indicate a decoding:: Self: Oh my...

THE LIGHTS SLOWLY GO DOWN TO BLACKNESS WITHIN THE BLDG

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: I have no helm control at all, I hope the force field holds us in orbit.

XO Guthrie says:
@::looks up quickly.....::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO:"PASS THROUGH THE CHALLENGES OR YOUR SHIP IS DESTROYED < WIN THROUGH AND LEARN MUCH"

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: Status of other ship functions?

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Cute that it assumes we came here in a starship. ::glowers::

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: I'd say we have a minor problem.

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* Commander... we've been caught in some sort of forcefield....

TAC Williams says:
@CTO:I think we have trouble down here.

CTO Raven says:
CO:  All major systems are ok.

CMO Gordon says:
@ XO: Okay, lets turn those rifle lights on...

EO Jones says:
@ CSO: Oh no. So what does that mean?

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: I can't scan beyond forcefield Captain.

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: How else would we have come here?

XO Guthrie says:
@*CO*: Noted.... It's abstract down here but it would seem we're to run a gauntlet....

MORE GLYPHS ARE REVEALED IN THE DARKNESS

CTO Raven says:
@TO: I'll try to beam you out.  :: hops over to OPS, but finds transporters aren't working ::

CMO Gordon says:
@ EO: I think it means we go into a game or ship blow up...

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* ::mutters:: Great...

CSO Toorain says:
@EO: that means we have to solve puzzles to keep the QIb in one piece.

TAC Williams says:
@::heads to door to see if it can be opened::

CTO Raven says:
CO:  Transporters are out!

XO Guthrie says:
@TAC: Are we sealed?

EO Jones says:
@ CSO: Ok.  I guess so. I wonder what the game is or about?

CO Guthrie says:
::growls softly to herself:: CTO: Acknowledged.

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO & EO: Must be riddles?

CTO Raven says:
:: tries to gather data on the planetary force field grabbing the ship ::

CSO Toorain says:
@EO:I have no idea.  ::looks at other glyphs, and runs the tricorder over them::

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* Transporters are not functioning. I hope you're successful in your gantlet...

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Looks like we staying here a while ::sighs::

CO Guthrie says:
<gauntlet>

XO Guthrie says:
@EO: What's your best guess on the mechanics of this place?

CSO Toorain says:
@::looks at tricorder: :XO: "To see is to deceive.  Touch your way to continue".

EO Jones says:
@ ::continues to scan the power source:: XO: it seems the power source is about 300 meters away from our position now.

CO Guthrie says:
::sighs in frustration and nods:: FCO: It would appear so....

TAC Williams says:
@XO: It's sealed is sealed pretty tight, don't think we will be going this way unless we can unlock it

CSO Toorain says:
@::moves towards the glyphs to touch them::

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Straightforward.... Very well. Team will follow me. I'll take the lead.

EO Jones says:
@ XO: not to sure.

CSO Toorain says:
@::stops:: XO: as you wish.

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::walks ahead moving behind the XO::

CO Guthrie says:
FCO/CTO: I want you two to look for ways to break through the forcefield. ::sighs:: And try to get transporters working again.

CSO Toorain says:
@::falls in behind the XO::

XO Guthrie says:
@::takes a deep breath::

TAC Williams says:
:: takes up last position to give some protection::

XO Guthrie says:
@::feels his way forward, touching stone and engravings::

EO Jones says:
@ ::Walks in the middle of the crowd::

FCO tr’Keir says:
::starts to scan the forcefield::

XO Guthrie says:
@All: Touch descriminately.....

CTO Raven says:
:: notices this beam is unlike any encountered thus far ::

AS THE CSO TOUCHES THE WALL A DOOR SWINGS OPEN IN THE BLACKNESS

XO Guthrie says:
@::grips the doorjamb, feeling the opening::

CSO Toorain says:
@::looks around:: XO: Uh...a I just got a door...

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: Nice one. ::grins::

TAC Williams says:
@::looks around nervously as he follows rest of team:: CSO: Careful

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: I know. I feel it.

A YAWNING PIT CAN BE FELT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A NARROW WALKWAY

XO Guthrie says:
@::feels the dead wind whistling.... A pit. Deep one.::

CSO Toorain says:
@::carefully walks slowly forward::

XO Guthrie says:
@::follows the walkway carefully.... gauging weight allowance and positioning::

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Keep the comm link open to the AT...

CSO Toorain says:
@::edges forward slowly::

EO Jones says:
@ ::Looks at more of the glyphs::

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::walks but stays with a wall touching it with his back as he walks::

XO Guthrie says:
@*CO*: The plot thickens... We're proceeding further into the rooms, sir.

TAC Williams says:
@CSO: Can you see anything

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: Aye sir ::keeps comm link open::

CSO Toorain says:
@TO: Absolutely nothing.  XO: you sir?

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* Understood. Be careful...::frowns:: All of you.

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO/TAC: There's not much to see...

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: Do you read anything on tricorder?

CSO Toorain says:
@:whispers:: XO: The other side might be nice.

XO Guthrie says:
@::finds the opposite side, the walkway complete::

TAC Williams says:
@::hairs on the back of his neck start to stand on end, a sure sign things are not OK::

CSO Toorain says:
@CMO: I'm a little busy keeping my balance here.  When I get a moment, I'll scan this place.

CTO Raven says:
:: runs automated analysis on force field data ::

THE XO ENTERS WHAT WOULD SEEM TO BE A CORRIDOR

CO Guthrie says:
CTO/FCO: If there's any way to communicate with whomever... or whatever... is holding us, I want you two to find it.

EO Jones says:
@ ::follows the rest up the walkway::

CSO Toorain says:
@::gets off the walkway::

XO Guthrie says:
@ALL: Stay here, all of you...

CSO Toorain says:
@::stops::

EO Jones says:
@ XO: yes sir.

XO Guthrie says:
@::takes a few steps into the corridor.... surveying all::

CMO Gordon says:
@ CSO: Okey Dokey ::slips on ground:: Self: Oooooff.

CSO Toorain says:
@::smiles:: CMO: Better? ::grins::

XO Guthrie says:
@::growls at the CMO:: CMO: Get up-!

TAC Williams says:
@::follows other team members, very nervous after the first door incident:: XO: should we try and chock this door to prevent it from closing like the first one?

CO Guthrie says:
::listens intently to AT chatter::

EO Jones says:
@ CMO: You ok?

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::gets up and looks over the floor::

FCO tr’Keir says:
::starts hailing the planet to whoever could be listening::

CSO Toorain says:
@::follows XO::

EO Jones says:
@ CMO: what did you slip in?

CMO Gordon says:
@ All: I'm fine go on...

XO Guthrie says:
@::steps deeper into the corridor...::

CTO Raven says:
CO:  I don't think we'll be able to break free.  Computers say it resembles a web-like structure; very strong.

CSO Toorain says:
@::gently follows XO::

TAC Williams says:
@::starts to feel dizzy and his temp rising::

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Was that spider's web, you mentioned...?

THE AT FEELS A SLIGHT BREEZE FROM AHEAD

CO Guthrie says:
::arches eyebrow:: CTO: I see. ::mutters to self:: Self: More webs.... ::rolls eyes and frowns::

CMO Gordon says:
@ ::notices nothing but did remember stepping on something:: ::walks on following CSO::

EO Jones says:
@ ::Follows the CSO and XO into the corridor::

CSO Toorain says:

XO Guthrie says:
@CSO: Yes, but very little...

TAC Williams says:

XO Guthrie says:
@::the breeze plays off his ridges...::

CSO Toorain says:
@::nods::

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Lieutenant?

CMO Gordon says:
@ XO: I'm going to start scanning the area. Whooo....::feels a breeze:: XO: What was that wind?

FCO tr’Keir says:
CO: I've been hailing the planet for anyone who might hear it , so far nothing.

CTO Raven says:
*XO*: Yes sir.

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Did you say spider-web....? Your forcefield?

EO Jones says:
@ ::Feels the breeze and doesn't like it sending chills up his spine::

XO Guthrie says:
@::keeps walking::

CTO Raven says:
*XO*: Yes sir, I did.  Does that mean anything to you?

TAC Williams says:
@CMO::I'm not feeling....too well....::world starts to spin::

THE AWAY TEAM APPROACHES A CORNER THAT BEARS LEFT

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Spiders managed to capture a large animal on the surface... These arachnids hunt big game...

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Your scans... Try to filter out all but arachnid life....

CSO Toorain says:
@::shudders slightly at the words "spider" and "arachnid"::

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: See if they qualify as civilization...

CTO Raven says:
*XO*:  I'm on it.

CO Guthrie says:

EO Jones says:
@ ::Notice the tricorder power source is getting closer:: CSO: We are getting closer to the power source.

TAC Williams says:
@CMO: Feeling a bit dizzy: ::stumbles on the rocks a little::  @ALLAT: does anyone else find it warm down here?

CSO Toorain says:
@EO: Understood.

IN THE DISTANCE THEY CAN SEE THE FAINT GLOW OF MORE GLYPHS

CSO Toorain says:
@TO: No.  Are you alright?

CTO Raven says:
:: can't break through current force field to scan; and uses data from a previous scan ::

CMO Gordon says:
@ TO: Your temperature is rising...

XO Guthrie says:
@*CTO*: Spiders are versatile creatures... They probably could evolve into a hive consciousness...

CSO Toorain says:
@XO: Wait sir.

CSO Toorain says:
@TO: Perhaps the spider that bit you earlier?

XO Guthrie says:
@::the glow is readily visible. A HUGE contrast to pitch black:: CSO: Those familiar? ::points::

TAC Williams says:
@CMO:: I don't.......fe..el.....w....ell

CTO Raven says:
CO:  We think this may have something to do with spiders or eight, or a web.

CMO Gordon says:
@ TO: I'll try and stabilize the heat...

CO Guthrie says:
