Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
The crew worse fears have come alive and something really got nasty in the last few minutes. A tractor beam entrapped the Sharikahr in a death grip, bringing her to certain destruction if the people aboard do not find appropriate countermeasures.
On the planet, the situation is just as dire. The crews of the Agincourt and the Kraken are caught in a battle to the last man in the Federation fortress and only skill and subterfuge have made possible for Captain Adrel and her team to leave the area.
The night on Cerberus is illuminated by the giant gaseous planet and by the blue tractor beam streaming from the ruined city to the space above. Will the crew of the Sharikahr manage to stop the beam before they are marooned forever in this hellish planet?

Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: Yes, Lt?
SO_Archimedes says:
@ :: On the bridge, trying to get a lock on the away team to send them supplies if needed.... but more importantly, to get them back aboard.::

@::Working engineering::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@EO: Progress report, Ensign.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::sitting at tactical::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: I keep getting the feeling we're dealing with something sentient here.  The reanimations, the food just enough to stay alive... it's like we're action figures to someone.  And now he's trying to expand his collection with a shiny Norway class full of crew....
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: Ensign Chedder. What do you think about sending a tachyon beam into the heart of that tractor beam?
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Scanning the area both visually and with her tricorder; while it still worked::
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The ship groans under the augmented stress brought by the beam. Reports come in telling of micro fractures on decks 5 and 6.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: Could very well be and makes sense. I guess we'll get our answers when we find the source of the beam. Any luck getting us fresh gear from the ship?
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: It is an option, but where exactly to plan to take the power from.
SO_Archimedes says:
@:: Glances over at the first officer and back to his work; she did not need his report.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::looks at the CSO scanning and the rest of the AT::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: The transporters are down.  Interference from the beam.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Anything?
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::looks around the bridge::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: That is the question, artificial gravity and life support?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: I guess we'll have to do with what we have now... not the best for going into the unknown.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::begins to scan the beams frequency trying to localize it::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Just keeping a frown from her face, she turns toward the captain.:: CO: Nothing obvious, including Shelak.  We seem to have misplaced him.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: Oh, pishaw.  Cavemen survived on much less, you know.  But then again, I don't think they had the Klingons around... hmmm.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Can you pinpoint the location of the beam so we know where we should go?
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: I really hope that was a joke. Life support is not an option.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::wishes he had a cigar::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: Indeed, cavemen survived on less. But we are facing something different here. Let's hope what we have plus our brains are enough.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: What about getting power from the Agincourt or Kraken?
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@:: Goes to a console, and does a search to see if they have an emergency generator in storage::
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The ship groans further under the augmented stress brought by the beam. Reports come in announcing that the micro fractures on decks 5 and 6 are expanding.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Can you pinpoint the heart of that beam?
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: A security guard falls on the ground. A blossom of green blood appears on his chest.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: The heart?  No, the vicinity, yes. But we cannot fire weapons.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Stops in mid step at the soft "thump" of a body hitting the ground, turns, and eyes the body::  All: Well, that's not right.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::hears a thump and looks around, seeing a guard down, runs towards him::
SO_Archimedes says:
@ :: continuously working, something clicks and he sighs.::  XO: I take that back.  I have the precise location now.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: I'm wondering if it might be possible to rig some sort of pulse that might disrupt it. Through the deflector and not the weapons
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: Green blood?
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: People dropping dead, Captain.
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: A shot hits the ground just a few inches from Captain Adrel’s feet.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: Well we are in luck, we have an emergency generator.  We just need to get it here, and hooked up.  That can give use that extra boost be need.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: What? ::looks around:: We need cover now!
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Moves and knocks the captain over.::  CO: I may have found our missing man.
Host Enrico says:
@<FCO_Polo>: XO: If I use our engines I can contrast the pull of the tractor beam and delay the entry in the atmosphere, but I am going to need power ma'am.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: I'll get it. No one knows these Jeffries Tubes like I do. ::departs in a hurry up the nearest tube::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Boss the beams frequency is rotating very fast, I’m trying to lock it down
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions the others with them to get down.::  CO:  He had the TR-116.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: Grab some help, its going to weigh a tone :: yells::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@EO: We have a tactic for delaying the inevitable up her Ensign. Is there anyway to get more power to the engines?
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Glances around quickly, and scrambles around randomly, looking for where the shots are coming from - or where to hide ::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: Keep trying Lt.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::taps his badge:: *SO*: Archie, can you help me retrieve a generator to add some power for a plan Chedder and I have come up with?
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Boss I’m gonna programme the computer to keep up with the beams rotation and
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: Another shot hits the ground close by.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: try and send a feed back pulse down the beam to overload its generator
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions one of security officers to circle around.:: CO: Ma'am, stay put.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: We need to get cover. Staying outside will do us no good. Where are those shots coming from?
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Staying close to the ground, goes in the opposite direction with another following here::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::finishes the programme::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@*XO*: At the moment no, everything is in use.  I have someone running to get an extra generator, that can give us an extra boost.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@Self: Here goes nothing ::initiates programme::
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: I just finished running it through the computer. The odds are inconclusive.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@ *EO*: Tell me what you are planning Ensign and I will see what we can do to assist
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions for the other guard to stay with the captain::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::looks around:: CSO/OPS: The shooting seems to come from that building ::points::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Looks at his sword ::  CO: Well, I can't do anything... guess we just have to avoid it.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::initiates feedback pulse::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: Just keep us up to the current frequency of the beam.
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The pulse leaves the Sharikahr and for a moment seems to penetrate the tractor beam, but then the frequencies adjust in an unexpected pattern and the pulse disappears.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: pulse initiated boss
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: I know there isn't much we can do from outside. We could try to get in though.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@*XO*: I think we are good, once the generator gets here, we can boost power to the engines for what ever you have planed.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Locating the person in question, a Klingon, she quietly makes her way closer, keeping an eye on the other officer coming up on the other side.::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: sighs ::  CO: I guess.... yeah, we can always just come back to life later.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@Self: Darn!
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@Self: Ok, this is too slow, maybe I should have Chedder kill artificial gravity to the route I'm taking.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ :: Frowns a the nick and shrugs his shoulder.:: *CMO*: What exactly is it you want, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: We can still get killed here...
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: A body drops from the building above the AT and crushes on the ground.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: That was odd...
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Pulse fizzled boss
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*SO*: Its simple Archie, I need Artificial Gravity turned off from the most direct route from Engineering to the store room that generator is in.
Host Enrico says:
@<FCO_Polo>: XO: I can try to resist the tractor beam, it should give us some extra time.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@Polo: The EO is getting us more power to the engines as we speak
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Tries to strike a dramatic pose :: CO: Very well!  We will attack immediately and conquer!
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Looks at the body ::  CO: Know this guy?
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::arrives in the store room::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: That's not what I meant Lt. I just hate it when there is nothing we can do. What's your suggestion?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: That's all right Ensign It was a good idea
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: The tractor beam adjusted frequencies.  We would have to be able to adjust faster then it.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@:: Realizes they have all the power the need.:: *XO*: when do you need the power to the engins? We can do that whenever now.
Host Enrico says:
@<FCO_Polo>: XO: Aye ma'am, let's make this tractor beam work harder.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: No more then a whisper, she makes her way to the body to examine it.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: From here, I can see much of his face.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@Polo: Do it Ensign
SO_Archimedes says:
@*CMO*: I can do that...
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::focuses attention back to tactical::
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The ship vibrates when the newfound power fills the engines. The inertial dampeners activate slowly to correct for the vibration.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*SO*: Thank you.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@*CMO*: You can come back now, all fixed for now.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: Well, if we're going to do something, we're either going to try to advance to a closer position, or make an attack and neutralize our assailants.  I'm really not a tactical kind of guy.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@EO: Thank you Ensign with that extra power we can resist the beam for a little longer
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::waits for the gravity to cease::
SO_Archimedes says:
@ :: Initiates the doctors request, thinking it odd to come from medical.::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Structural integrity down to 90% and falling
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::lifts the generator and starts dragging it back to Engineering:: *EO*: I'm bringing it anyway, just in case.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: You can adjust the beam as the CTO fires?
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Finishing her examination, motions the other security officer to join them.::  CO: You should have stayed away.  This is the Klingon that had been originally tied up in the encampment and escaped.  I cannot however determine the cause of death.
Host Enrico says:
@<FCO_Polo>XO: As long as we can maintain structural integrity we gained another 30 minutes.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@*CMO*: Alrighty, it might come in use if things continue to go bad.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@Polo: Thank you Miss Polo.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: I can't... but the computer might be able to with a simple program.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: That's what I meant by us entering the building: attack and conquer! But I guess advancing would be the best choice at first so we get a closer look.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Go for it. Once the program is in place tell the CTO and let him fire again.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*EO*: I had Archie take gravity offline through my path so I'll be there shortly, be prepared to kill gravity long enough for touchdown in Engineering.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Stay away? I haven't moved, Lt. So he is definitely dead? Mmm... so I guess deaths near the beam are actually sticking.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: It should not take much...  ::Begins to access a similar program to modify it.::
Host Enrico says:
@<CPO_Bahl>: EO: Ma'am we are having some problems with the induction coils in the structural fields. We need to readjust them or the field will weaken too much.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Looks at the captain slightly confused, then turns away to examine the area further.::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::hurries through the tubes with the generator::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Quietly:: CO: The area is clear.  :: she glances down at the klingon, considering the captains inference.::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::prepares a second pulse::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@Self: I need a vacation. Maybe Risa.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: Ready at my mark Lt.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Aye madam.
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The generator arrives to Main Engineering.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::prepares to fire the pulse::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: Kill gravity so we can get this in.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Jokes:: CMO: you cheated, how can you get a work out when you took gravity offline.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::after hearing the CSO:: CSO/OPS: Then I guess we can regroup and find the source of the beam.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: Structural integrity at 85%
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: Work smarter, not harder Ensign.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Is the program ready to be implemented yet?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Anything on your tricorder so we can find our way now that we aren't being shot at anymore?
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Walks over to help pull it the rest of the way::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: points at the blue glow in the sky ::  CO: I suggest we start over there.  In that area.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Nods as the other security officer joins them, wondering about the missing one.::  CO: Other then the area seems clear?  I trust nothing here, captain.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::pulls the generator through and begins hooking it up:: EO: So, think now is a good time to suggest the tachyon beam to the XO?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Trust nothing indeed.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: Commander, for some reason, this program will not be as simple as I implied.  It will take at least half an hour to complete and implement.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
:: checks where OPS is pointing:: OPS: Good catch. Lead the way.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@ CMO: I think that’s a good idea. go ahead.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Keep working on it Ensign.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::taps his badge:: *XO*: Oh Commander, Ensign Chedder and I would like to use the Deflector dish to generator a tachyon beam to ram down that tractor beam's throat.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
CO: Right.  :: starts walking again, a little more cautious now that they've had some fatalities ::
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: Aye, Commander. :: With a sigh, sits down and focuses on getting the program working.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: Keep your eyes opened and our few weapons ready.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::walks behind OPS::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO: I am only reading the ruins of the city, and our own presence.  Nothing living seems to exist here.  The tractor beam is 1.2 kilometers ahead.
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: The Away team sees the building the tractor beam is coming from. It is a large building built in the middle of what was a large park a few blocks ahead.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*CMO*: Way ahead of you doc. We are working on a computer program to compensate for the beam's changing frequency. We should be able to try the pulse in a half hour.
Host Enrico says:
@<CPO_Bahl>: *EO*: Ma'am we are having some problems with the induction coils in the structural fields. We need all the power you can give us or the ship won't last much longer.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: my money is on the CTO beating us out
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*XO*: I recommend varying the out put into rotating bursts. It will make it difficult to compensate for the varied power levels.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Thanks for the update. Even if your tricorder picks no one, as you said, trust nothing here. So we'll stay cautious when we approach...
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Scans the building, wondering how much they are being allowed to see and what they simply can.::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*CMO*: The SO is already on it.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::continues monitoring the Structural integrity field::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::nods to Bahl::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*XO*: Then I guess I should've just gone to sickbay. ::laughs slightly::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*EO/CMO*: Our problem now is the structural integrity field. I'd welcome your help in keeping it up.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@ Bahl: Then the generator will be in good use.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO: Captain, that building is far older then the ruins of this city.  :: Turns to look at her.::  Nor can I scan beyond the exterior, something is blocking me.
Host Enrico says:
@<Bahl>: EO/CMO: We may need the power of the generator, or this ship won't last more than 15 minutes in one piece.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*XO*: We'll use the extra power from the generator to augment the structural integrity field.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@ CMO: We need to drag the generator over to the core to hook it up.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*CMO*: That generator you got will help us immeasurable Doc. Go for it.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Doesn't sound good.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::nods to the EO:: EO: Lets get it done. *XO*: We're on it.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions security to take points around the captain and Varn.::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::looks around the bridge at the crews faces::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: I'll push, you pull. ::Moves over to the generator::
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: While entering the park through a broken gate. The Away team sees the first of a series of metal steles set in the ground. Inside the panel there is a pictograph representing two large groups of similar but opposed people warring against each other with crude weapons.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::takes up position to help move it:: EO: We have to hurry. ::Starts pulling hard::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@::wipes sweat from her forehead::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Let's hope that once we are in, or closer, that we can get readings.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO: Notice the panel and the battle being waged by rather crude weapons.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Pushes:: CMO: I can have this hooked up in 5 minutes max.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: If you have it hooked up that fast, dinner is on me.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
All: Alright, so some kind of museum... or ever repeating cycle.  Did anyone bring a grenade?  How about a flamethrower?  Napalm?
Host Enrico says:
INFO: There are other eight steles on the way to the building. The second stele shows the same people warring with energy beams.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO/OPS: An enactment being acted out still?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: How's the structural integrity field holding?
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Continues walking, recording what they are seeing and uploading it to the ship.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: It looks like it. We should probably check them all out before as our next course of action could be influenced by what is here.
Host Enrico says:
INFO: The third stele, shows the two groups laying down their arms and meeting in front of a building similar to the one in the center of the park.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::heaves one last time as it slides into position finally::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Gives one final push:: CMO: Good enough. ::Runs to grab a kit and flash light then hurries back::
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@XO: At 75%, the rate of it`s drop is slowing with the increased power output commander
Host Enrico says:
INFO: The fourth stele shows a stylized ball of flame appearing on top of the building and the two people living in peace as the balls of flame grows larger and larger.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: I'll get started on the power routing algorithms.
Host Enrico says:
INFO: the fifth stele depicts the size of the ball expands filling the sky the two people are against at war with each other.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::looks at the third stele:: CSO/OPS: Is this the past or the future? I doubt we can easily convince both sides to come here and reenact this.
Host Enrico says:
INFO: The sixth stele shows the ball of flame engulfing the whole sky while the two people fight with their bare hands all over again.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO/OPS: We might... but apparently someone does not want that.  :: nods to the next stele::
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: Looks up and tries to see the end of the beam, holding their fragile vessel ::  CO: I don't think we have time, anyway.
Host Enrico says:
INFO: The seventh stele shows the flame disappearing and leaving a dead world behind.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Removes the console siding, gets on her back  and into the console:: CMO: good call, don't turn on the generator till i give the word
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::taps away at the console getting ready to bring the generator online and routed to Structural Integrity:: EO: You got it.
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The Sharikahr seems to vibrate much more, a signal that the capacitors are nearly empty and that power better get online soon.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@::Starts linking the generator to the power console::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CTO: Thank goodness. Once they get it fully hooked up maybe we will stay steady.
Host Enrico says:
INFO: The eighth stele shows two groups of new people fighting under the ball, and the ball splitting in two.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO/OPS: The building and the battle seem to be the one constant here.  And it was here before...
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::hovers over the execute button::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
OPS: Indeed. We need to act now. ::as she looks at the 7th stele::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@ ::Mumbles as she works::
Host Enrico says:
INFO: the ninth stele shows a beam rising from the building while the two groups continue to fight each other and the ball of flame once again fills the sky.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@::prepares to initiate the pulse::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::watches the EO work intently::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO: I am not sure I am interpreting the ball of flame.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: 2 minutes....
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: I don't know what it is either.
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: The away team arrives at a large stone door. The door is shut down closed.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO/OPS: Let's go inside and take care of the beam. It seems to be what holds all of this right now and probably our only way out.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: I hope so or dinner is on you.
SO_Archimedes says:
@:: Glances at a red light flashing and clears his throat.::  XO: Ummm... commander, five minutes to integrity field failure... if the generator does not go online soon.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Scans the door, looking for any traps.::
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@ CMO: Agh! This better not be you asking me on a date. ::Laughs:: Done!
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::executes the power transfer::
Host Enrico says:
@<Computer>: ALL: Attention, imminent failure of the structural integrity field. Estimated time to failure is 2 minutes.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Have faith Ensign Logan wouldn't dare let us die.
CTO_LtJg_Wall says:
@Self: Wonderful
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: And if it is?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
CSO: Anything interesting?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: There must be something we need to touch, press, say even, to open this.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ :: mutters under his breath he would be happier of the doctor was an actual engineer.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: Doors are made to be opened.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@CMO: Start the generator!
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
CO: I do not see any traps.  However... it is very heavy.
Host Enrico says:
@ACTION: The power transfer happens smoothly and the structural integrity field is restored.
OPS_Lt_Varn says:
:: puts his hands on the door and starts pushing ::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions to two of the guards to position themselves to open it.::
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@EO: Relax, I did the moment you said go.
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: It appears you got your wish.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*EO/CMO*: Good work you two. You saved us for now.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@*XO*: What can I say, I had a good teammate.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@:: Gets up and dusts her self off.:: CMO: I think i got it from here, thanks.
CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: EO: I guess I'm dismissed from Engineering.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@*EO/CMO*: I'll have you both up for commendations just as soon as we are  free of this mess.

<Security> :: The two of them try to open the door, their muscles bulging.  They can feel sweat break out.  After a moment they pause.:: CSO: This door is not going to open that easily.  I would estimate it is about a metric ton.

@ CMO: I'll come visit later.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Never had a doubt.

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Is that program on schedule?
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Eyes the door and looks around for a lever.::
SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: Aye, commander.  I should have it up and running in about 6 minutes.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@SO: Good work Ensign
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Motions to the third security officer to get one of the metal bars lying near a building.::

SO_Archimedes says:
@ XO: Wait to see if it works first...
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: The security officers go pick up a 6 feet long metal bar and brings it back on the double.
EO_ENS_Chedder says:
@:: Shakes her head and smiles before moving back to a console the energy output::
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:
:: Steps out of the way.::
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
Security: Good idea.    ALL: let's all move out of the way.
CSO_Lt_So`stoh says:

@XO: Any progress?
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
ALL: Wait for the CSO to scan before we get in.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
@CMO: Have a seat. We are simply waiting until the SO's program is finished compiling.

@::takes a seat in the XO's chair::
Host Enrico says:
@<FCO_Polo>: ALL: 65 minutes to entry in the atmosphere. I can resist a little more now with a better integrity field.
Host CO_Capt_Adrel says:
::nods at the CSO:: ALL: We'll all stay together until we can get better info on this building. Let's get in and get this over with!
SO_Archimedes says:
