COMM: Vega/Sirius: Please hold your position in orbit until we can get a good margin around your Landing Zone.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks at CO then XO::  XO: I want to reemphasis that part of my report... phasers set to kill will destroy these things.

Katira: Let me know when the shuttles have a margin of at least three kilometers.
Katira says:
::nods::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Soree, but doesn't answer::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CMO: I figure that if we land with minimal power, we shouldn't draw unnecessary attention.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Hears the CEO.:: CEO: Understood Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Notes the CO's glance and shrugs; turns back to his console::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CMO: I will convey that to the other shuttle.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::nods:: FCO: Very good.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir Lieutenant Soree has come up with another plan to possibly draw the creatures away from the LZ.  We drop some torpedoes away from them, unexploded and then we bleed off the residual energy.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@COMM: Vegas: Lt. Parks, as we set to land, cut your power output to 15%.  We don't want to attract unnecessary attention by the ... entities..  ::wasn't sure what else to call them.::
Katira says:
CO:  Jy... Captain, they are at 3 km.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Soree again, and then turns his chair toward T'Shara's:: XO: Is there indication that Mira isn't a sufficient lure?
TO_Parks says:
@COMM: Sirius: Aye, Ensign
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Katira:: Katira: Clear them to land and to signal once they do.

@CMO: Closing at 10 000KM.  ::takes them down slowly::  I'm bringing shields up to pass through the ionized upper atmosphere.  Hang on to your hats folks.
Host CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Just a backup sir.
Katira says:
COMM: Vega/Sirius:  You are clear to land.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks at the CO.:: CO: Sir no sir at this time there is no indication but as Lieutenant Soree has stated it might be a possible backup if we need it.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::looks back:: CSO: Commander, once we reach the surface, I'd like to check out those ruins we never had a chance to before... we may need to split into groups to cover more ground.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::thinks:: XO/CEO: I agree. Magh, prepare the torpedoes, and target a spot north of the Mira's position to lure them even further away if we have to.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::nods::

Ashe: Are the Mira's engines holding?
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::resting his eyes and leaning back against a bulkhead panel, silently compiling his thoughts::
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
CO: Aye sir.  But I'm afraid she cannae hold much longer.
Katira says:
CO:  Visual... ::Places the Mira on the main screen::
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@CMO: Dr., I am feeling something
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
CO: Few more minutes.. no more.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks up from her console to see the Mira on the main viewer.::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: How are those torpedoes coming Lieutenant?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Ashe: Understood. Let me know when you're backup power.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@CSO/FCO/CMO: It's people.  ::Closes eyes:: Children.... playing outdoors
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Ready on your mark ma'am.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::looks back at the CTO:: CTO: Lt?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Katira: Let the away teams know they're running out of time to set up base camp.
Katira says:
::Catches one request that was marked ASAP and deals with it.::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CTO: The entities perhaps?
Katira says:
CO:  Aye...
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO/XO: I've selected three spots 5 km from the AT.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@FCO: I'm not sure.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir we are ready to launch the torpedoes.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::reaches out himself to try and see what the CTO is feeling::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CTO: You're seeing this in your mind?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sits back in the chair a little more:: CEO: Can you prepare salvos for all three?
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::leaning up to look at CTO::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CTO: What did these .. look like?  ::can't takes her eyes off of the console.. but wished that she could turn around and look at the CTO::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks over shoulder:: CO: Yes sir.

CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@ALL: They see a bright light, up in the sky
Katira says:
XO:  The Mira has 10 more minutes left.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Understood.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@ALL: I feel their fear building
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::lands the Sirius in the designated coordinates::  CMO: Here we are...  ::bumps:: Sorry..
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@ALL: The impact object.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::blinks:: CSO: I beg your pardon?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Lieutenant, launch the torpedoes when ready.  How long do you estimate the torpedoes lasting under the drain of the creatures?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::nods:: FCO: That's fine, Ensign... ::looks over:: CSO: Commander, you have something?
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Might be better to launch in a sequence thus luring them away.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::initiates the cool down sequence, keeping minimal power... very very very minimal.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@FCO: The bright light.  That would most likely be the impact object burning up in the atmosphere
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Looks at Ikari:: CSO: It has to be
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::crosses his leg on his lap, hand resting on his ankle as he watches the viewscreen:: XO: So far so good..
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Each one should bled energy for 10-15 minutes.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Agreed Lieutenant.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks uncomfortable for a second and takes his hand of Llynisika's shoulder::  CMO: Shall we head out?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir it would seem that way.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@COMM: Sharikahr: The away team has landed.  ::turns off comm and looks at the CMO for their next instruction.::

@ALL: More fear.  ::Closes her eyes, concentrating harder:: The light in the sky..... ::opens her eyes and looks right at Ikari:: CSO: It was their moon exploding
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@CSO: Yes. :;turns:: All: Affix environment gear and head out, bearing... ::checks a PADD:: Northwest, we're heading for the ruins.
Katira says:
XO:  The Mira is covered, and more continue to swarm toward it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks surprised:: CTO: Exploding?
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Will launch first salvo as the Mira's energy is finally depleted.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@CSO: Yes, exploding ::eyes wide::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CMO: Where should we set up the field generators?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira:  Acknowledged.  Is the Mira still holding up?

@::picking up the generators::  FCO:  If you would, the transporter armbands need distribution.  ::peers out of the shuttle door::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood.  Let me know when the launch is complete.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@FCO: Away from the shuttle, we need to keep it open as an escape route, we don't need those things draining it on us.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@ALL: Moons don't tend to explode... not naturally anyway.  ::stands up:: CTO: Are you able to participate in our mission?
TO_Parks says:
@::Lands the Vega 4KM away from the Sirius::
Katira says:
XO:  Yes... the shuttles structural integrity is holding.  However, its time is about ended.
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::waiting to see the security teams ready::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: uh.. sure.  ::grabs the box the contains the transponders and opens it and then turns to the CMO:: CMO: I don' think that'll be a problem though, sir.  These are polarized generator and are meant to repel the beings and not attract them.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Understood.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
::hands each away team a transponder, and runs the "transponder installer" tool over it, so that it'll be absorbed inside the skin of the away team member.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Grabs Ikari's arm tightly, squeezing harder as she talks. Eyes close again:: ALL: Fire ....on the horizon.....large chunks, pieces falling from the moon
Katira says:
XO:  Two minutes...
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@FCO: They haven't been tried before, and you'll understand if I don't quite trust them. In fact, put the shuttle on active standby... with any luck all the other energy around will distract them to it.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@CMO: Um.. Okay.  ::hands him a transponder::  Good luck.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watches the exterior lights on Mira slowly dim:: Katira: Change the view to LZ1, if you please.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: We have two minutes remaining on the Mira.

EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@CTO:  Ma'am, as interesting as this is, we need these generators.  Is your security team ready?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:

CO: 57 seconds.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::steps out of the shuttle and immediately activates his tricorder::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CEO: Good.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Are the creatures still near the Mira or are they moving away?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Sound Blue Alert and bring structural Integrity up to 110%
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Feels drained, but tries not to show it:: ALL: I will take lead, please
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:

Katira says:
CO:  I was not on the ship long enough.  But I understood ships to rarely go below the stratosphere.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Firing second salvo.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::takes a step "inside" the structure and looks around::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: I meant let me know if and when they have drained the torpedoes.
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
CO: Captain.. we're approaching the ionized atmosphere...
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Moves off, looking now and then over her shoulder:: Self: I don't like this
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Can you tell how many entities are moving in their direction?
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  Don't be daunted.  They all look the same because they are the same.  Where they go doesn't matter.  It'll still work.  ::smiles::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::hooks a few more things together:: EO: You ready to put them together?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles at Katira but nods Ashe on:: Ashe: Steady, Crewman. Bring us down just like the manual says.
Katira says:
XO:  I am unable to give you a number other then they are not a very large group... yet.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods:: XO: Understand ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: Ah.. as they say.. the right bar is connected to the left bar.. the upper bar is connected to the lower bar.. the lower bar is connected the joint bar.. and there's bars all around.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CSO/CTO*: Move quickly, people, get to your locations and set up the interdiction fields.
Katira says:
XO:  The majorities are moving towards the torpedoes.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Second salvo has landed.
TO_Fallala says:
@CTO: I don't like this either, sir.
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::laughing::  FCO:  Something like that.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CMO*: I'm inside the structure, Doctor.  Taking readings now.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir at this time we are unable to tell how many entities are moving in their direction.  It would seem the majority of the entities are moving more towards the torpedoes than the AT.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frown deepens:: XO: Are they aware?
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@Fallala: I don't either, but it's our job
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: they're bleeding energy now.  First batch should run out anytime now.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::grins::  EO: Now.. let see....  ::takes a piece she's put together::  That goes here...  ::sticks join A1 into socket B24::  And that goes here...  ::puts joint B2 into socket C43::  Ta da!
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Just preparing to contact the Away Team sir.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::At teh structure and scanning:: Fallala: What are you reading?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood
TO_Fallala says:
@::continues scan their area as she walks slightly behind the CTO::  What exactly are we looking for anyways.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Good.
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  Ready?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::reaches his structure, gets the Gold shirts to set up the field and then starts taking readings:: *CSO*: Acknowledged, Commander... how's your field holding?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CMO*: Seems to be holding well.  I'm still here.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: Aye.  ::picks up her end::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
COMM: CMO: Commander our sensors are picking up several entities approaching your shuttles.  We are unable to tell exactly how many at this time.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Taps badge:: *CMO*: Sir, we're setting up our field now.
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
::gently guides the massive ship further into the atmosphere, slowly breaking her to under Mach-20 as they coast over the LZ::
Katira says:
::Watches the numbers growing toward the torpedoes, wondering how long they will hold up.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*CTO* Good work, Lt, keep me posted.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Aye
Host Tim says:
ACTION: SOME OF THE ENTITIES THAT WERE AT THE SHUTTLES NOW BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARD THE EO'S GROUP
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::is oblivious to the entities and continues to help the EO put the thing together:: EO: Almost done!
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@:;taps his combadge:: *XO* The shuttles should be practically dead, hopefully they'll ignore them and move towards us... lets hope these fields work
Katira says:
XO:  The entities around the shuttle are heading in the direction of the AT.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CMO*: Nothing interesting here, Doctor.  I'm going to move out a little further.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::hears something and looks up::  EO: What are they doing here?
Host Tim says:
ACTION: AS SHARIKAHR APPROACHES THE SHUTTLES, SOME OF MORE ENTITIES MOVE TOWARD THE SHUTTLES ATTRACTED BY SHARIKAHR'S ENERGY
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::shields her eyes:: EO:  That's the Sharikahr
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Hears a noise from above::
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::looking to the FCO::  FCO:  Let's get this between the shuttles.
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
::looks back:: CO: Sir, we're approaching Mira.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: What is the status on the entities?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: Katira: Tractor the Mira up.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CSO/CMO*: Our field is operative, sirs
Katira says:
XO:  The Sharikahr’s appears to be attracting them as well.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: Let's turn this on and see if it works... ::puts the last pieces together and snaps the polarized generators on::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::continues his scans:: *CSO* I'm not getting anything either, Ikari... :;sighs slightly:: Keep trying... see if you can't get deeper underneath the structure, I'll look for a basement or something as well.
Katira says:
::Scans the board, finding the correct controls, tractors the Mira.::
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Can't shake the feeling she and Fallala aren't alone::
TO_Fallala says:
@CTO: Are you okay, ma'am.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CMO*: Will do.  Er, Doctor?  What exactly are we looking for?  This planet is dead.
TO_Fallala says:
@::frowns::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: I have tried to contact Commander Maylen but no response.  Sensors show that the entities appear to be attracted to the ship as well.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@Fallala: Fine.  Just feeling the past
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*CTO*: Very well, Lt. It doesn't seem like there's much on the surface, I wouldn't expect to find anything on the upper levels either, I suggest trying to find something subsurface.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::pats herself:: EO: You don't happen to have a tricorder here for diagnostics?  It seemed that I don't have one... ::laughs::
TO_Fallala says:
@::moves off to the side a little::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: I suspected it would. That's okay, we can expend the fuel and draw them away again. When the Mira's onboard again, we'll keep going for another few kilometers before returning to space.
Katira says:
::Monitors the tractor beam as it latches on and slowly brings it toward the ship.::
TO_Fallala says:
@*CMO*: I'm worried about Lt. Llynisika.  She seemed... disoriented...  ::uncertain:: I don't know..
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Aye Sir.  Fallala: Let's look over there
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*CSO* What we're looking for, Commander, is anything at all that doesn't look like it should be on a devastated planet.
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@::watches as the flash of the field crackles through the atmosphere on activation::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks back at his canine engineer:: CEO: Are there any more salvos prepared?
Katira says:
::As it comes closer to the ship, she notes a slight dilemma::  XO:  The shuttle is unable to come through our shields...
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: One sir... can prepare more.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::tries to not get frustrated:: *CMO*: And tons of rock and ruins don't count, right?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CMO*: Understood keep us informed of your progress Commander.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Firing last salvo now.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::looks up::  EO: Looks good eh?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::looks through destroyed and blackened rooms for anything, scanning for any passage underneath::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the running clock:: CEO: Prepare one more in case the entities don't follow us and fire when ready.
TO_Parks says:
@::Sven and Jacobs follow Ikari::
TO_Fallala says:
@::follows the CTO with a nod:: CTO: Let's.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*CSO* ::half scoffs, half chuckles:: *CSO* Just let me know if the rocks start to glow...
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: We are unable to get the Mira through our shields sir.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Any sign of the entities aboard Mira?
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Moves off towards the back of the structure, scanning:: Fallala: See if you can get anything, like a basement or catacombs under here
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::watches as the Mira gets tractor to the Sharikahr, while keeping one eye on their job::
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  Not really.  This atmosphere isn't the best thing for it....  Still, all it should do by way of faults is make a lot of noise.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Aye sir.  Last salvo landed 3 km from the Away Team.
Katira says:
::shakes head at these round robin questions::  XO:  Not at the moment.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Acknowledged.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: We can try compensating by modulating the frequencies.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::brushes away some dirt and on covers a latch on the ground:: *CMO*: I may have found a basement entrance.  Proceeding with caution.
TO_Parks says:
@::Sven overhears and gives a small bark of laughter::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir scans show no entities on the Mira at the moment.
Katira says:
::Sets the shuttle to follow just outside their shields.::
TO_Fallala says:
@CTO: Okay...  ::moves off in the direction the CTO pointed at her, and digs around for an opening::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::finds a remarkably still intact door, clinging to it's frame, he has the Sec officers help him get it open, where he discovers some stairs:: Self: Now we're getting somewhere... ::taps combadge:: *CSO* You're not alone, Commander... keep your comm channel open from this point on.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@::moves over to a control panel and taps in a few commands, just eyeballing it so that the shielding would stop crackling:: EO: happy?
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  Those do that on their own.  That's the whole theory behind what keeps these things out.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::scratches his stubble chin:: XO: All right... lower the aft shields and tractor it into the shuttle bay. Empty the shuttle bay and have an armed security team waiting before it's brought aboard with a scanning team. If there is even the slightest hint, jettison Mira
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@::Looks up occasionally half expecting to see the children playing, then shakes her head and keeps scanning::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: Well, it stopped crackling... and I've reset auto control.  Let's go see what the other away teams are up to.
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Suggest security set weapons to level 10 or higher.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@Parks: Turn on the light on that rifle, it'll be dark down there.  ::opens up the door slowly::
Katira says:
::Prepares to lower shields with one hand, the other posed above the tractor button.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eyes narrow a little at the high number but then nods:: CEO: Do it.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@Fallala: I think I found something::Moves a slab of wall
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
;;
Katira says:
::Looks over at the XO, waiting for the order.::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Lower the aft shields and tractor the Mira into the shuttle bay.  I want the shuttle bay empty prior to tractoring it in.
TO_Fallala says:
@::quickly moves over to the CTO:: CTO: What is it?
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::proceeds down the stairs with caution, taking out his wrist light and flipping it on::
TO_Parks says:
@CSO: Aye ::readies rifle::
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  Seems like the thing to do.
Katira says:
::Enters the command, the shields go down and the shuttle moves inside the shields::
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::Finally finishes setting up her equipment and boosting the communication channels.  Sets off to find the CSO and his team::
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Wait for the Security team to arrive in the shuttle bay before bringing her in.  If there appears to be any problems we will jettison the Mira out of the shuttle bay.
Katira says:
::As they pass within the perimeter, resets the shields.::
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@Fallala: Looks like a stairway or something::Shines a light down::
CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*Security* Send a team to shuttle bay armed... setting at level ten.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::marvels at the sight of the ship moving through clouds and then sighs:: Ashe: Take us back where we belong, Crewman.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@*CMO*: Ensign Fa to Dr. Maylen.  ::looks over at the EO::
Katira says:
XO:  All right.  The shuttle is within our shields at the moment.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::notices Clooney coming his way and waves her over, then heads down the stairs::
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
Ens. Taylor: *CEO*: Aye
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*FCO* I'm here, go ahead Ensign.
Katira says:
::Keeps the shuttle hovering just outside the shuttle bay doors.::
Crewman_Ashe_Whitehorse says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::begins the ascension again, using the ventral impulse engines a little to speed it up::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@*CMO*: Ens. Naabadu and I have finished setting up .. uh.. camp.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Sir, we've found something.  Looks like a stairway
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@*CMO*: We are ready to proceed with helping explore this territory.
Katira says:
*Security* :  Are you in place?
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::runs over and stops at the top of the stairs and proceeds down carefully:: CSO: Sir?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*Ens Taylor*: Let me know as soon as your team is in position.  I want a full scan of the Mira and if there appears to be any problems or you find any traces of the entities alert me right away.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*FCO* Good, set up your interdiction field, some of the creatures may be nearby.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@*CMO*: Understood.  Fa out.
Katira says:
::Taps the warning bell, that the shuttle doors were about to be opened.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@*CTO* Good job, Lt. Proceed down with caution, keep your comm channel open.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@OPS: Glad you could join us Ensign.  Could you add a little light?  I'd not like to fall on my face, if you can understand.
TO_Fallala says:
@::peers low where the CTO is looking at:: CTO: Wow... this looks old.
TO_Taylor says:
*Bridge*: Sec. team Delta in place.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watches the stars grow in brightness as the atmosphere thins:: XO: I want a report from Doctor Maylen in five minutes. He should be ready by now.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@Fallala: Very old
Katira says:
::Opens the doors and begins to bring the shuttle slowly inside.::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: Let's take west...
OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::grins nervously and holds up her lantern:: CSO: Here you go.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CMO*: Report Commander.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks around and doesn't see much of anything::
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Aye.  Fallala: You heard the man. Let's go ::stars down::
Katira says:
::As the shuttle settles, deactivates the beam.::
Katira says:
XO:  Shuttle is aboard.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::looks down at his tricorder and sees less:: Aloud: That was a bust.
TO_Fallala says:
@::touches the stairs and rubs her fingers together::  CTO: Hum... looks like clay... ::brings her fingers to her nose and sniffs::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::sifts through some slightly blackened ruins:: *CSO/CTO* Looks like a portion of the blast made it down here, but not all of it. Look for any secured places that could have been sheltered.
EO_Ens_Naabadu says:
@FCO:  West?  As in head there?
XO_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Katira: Acknowledges be prepared to jettison her out at a moments notice.
CTO_Ltjg_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Agreed.  ::continues scanning::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
@EO: nope.. I think West is that way..  ::points the opposing direction.::
