Host ^SM_Pam (Actd.mid)

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Captain Vince seems to be a bit paranoid about Pollux IV doesn’t he? The CEO and a small landing party had been sent down to locate the malfunctioning listening post and see why it had failed. They had barely set their feet on the ground when the Captain recalled the team because the FCO suddenly developed a severe headache.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
It seems that a scanning beam from some 30 light years away, had scanned the Triton. The beam seemed to affect the FCO, whom Dr. Yates had determined was sensitive to it. Fortunately the FCO has recovered and is back to his old, happy self.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Scans showed that there had not been any ship traffic in the sector recently and a class III probe found that the satellite that was orbiting Pollux V was destroyed, the reason unknown so far.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Now the good Captain is deciding whether or not to send another party back down to finish their mission and effect repairs to the post if possible. Will he allow a new team to go back there or will he decide that the risks out weigh the good points of the mission?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Wasn’t there a saying that went something like, “To boldly go where no one has gone before”, or in this case, “curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back?” Let’s see what Captain Vince decides....

CO: While I am on the surface, I am slaving tactical to you.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she gets up and walks over to the secondary OPS console so she can monitor vital signs and such with ease::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: in engineering finishing up any repairs left::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I still do not like the looks of this Captain. Something still is not right.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  I know.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: With your permission I would like to send a medical officer with the newly compiled Away Team. Just in case.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CTO:  No problem.  Is your security sweep finished?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Granted.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Thank you. :: she taps her combadge:: *Servek*: Lieutenant Servek please join the Away Team in Transporter Room One. They should be leaving very soon.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *CMO*: Understood sir. :: she grabs the needed supplies and heads for the Transporter Room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir Engineering is at 100%.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: All interior checks out and nothing in the area.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CTO:  Good.  Report to the transporter room when ready.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
ALL: All engineering staff that is going on the AT gear up and lets go.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she presses various buttons on the console making sure that she has a good lock on the members of the Away Team::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Is your group almost ready to return to the surface?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Aye sir, my gear is already down there along with Major Chavez.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: We are gearing up and heading for the transporter room now.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> :: reaches the Transporter Room and waits, standing in her usual Vulcan stance::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Good.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: motions for her crew to follow and they head for the TL::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO/*CEO*: Be careful down there you two. Who knows what could be hidden there.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: exits bridge and shortly after enters the TR::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
Computer: TR1 stat.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: the lift stops and they pile out and enters TR1::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CO* Aye sir, I always am.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek>:: notices many officers enter the Transporter Room and waits for orders to step onto the Transporter Pad::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: sees Cmdr. Ray already there and joins his team as well::  CTO: My staff is here and ready to go.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CO* transport ready.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek>:: steps onto the Transporter Pad::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*TRC*:  Energize when ready.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The away team is transported back to the surface, as a rather stiff wind picks up

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she hears the CTO and makes sure she has a steady lock again::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Can you monitor the Transporter lock from there too?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@:: shimmers onto the planet and pulls out her tricorder and scans immediately::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods:: CO: Yes I can Captain. I have been doing so. :: smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@~~~CMO: Ashley we are all here safely.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek>:: she takes out her tricorder and looks over the data::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CEO: Good T'Ponga. I have one of my best medical officers down there so you are in good hands. Be safe.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Commander Shemara reports that everyone is there safely sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: leaves turbolift onto the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Good.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: nods to the Captain and takes his station::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@AT: Please put these on.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Good to see you Mr. Kalek.  I trust your break was sufficient?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad> CSO: Sir!  It was about time!  :: smiles and shows him some reports::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: raises an eyebrow at the SO's comment::  CO :That was indeed, sir.  :: reads the reports::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: notices Kalek enter the bridge but doesn't say anything. She smiles a bit and turns back to the Away Team's status::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@:: pulls out emergency transport tags::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> ::raises an eyebrow but does what she is told:: CTO: What are these sir?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
SO:  I see we have a wind storm.  Is it happening at the AT's coordinates?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Wind storm?  How big?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@Servek: An extra security measure.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> ::nods and looks around::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Let me check, Captain.  :: logs onto SCI 1 and brings planetary scanners on his console::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Is it close to the team?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Of course, if it was, they'd have mentioned it by now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@AT: I can track you and so can the Triton with my tricorder.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  It's at the Away Team's coordinates...  winds blowing at 20 knots.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO/CSO: The Away Team has not reported being bothered by this wind. :: smiles just as the CO speaks:: CO: You read my mind sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Does it look like it'll get worse?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO:  That would be considered a breeze on Vulcan, Doctor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Well then I suppose there is nothing to worry about then Lieutenant. :: she looks back at the console::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: It is getting very windy here.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  The storm covers several kilometers.  :: taps on console::  So far I have no indications of winds power increasing or decreasing.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@CEO: I would advise we take shelter in the building.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CTO*:  Our sensors are showing a large wind storm at your position.  It doesn't look like it'll be any worse than it is for you now, but we'll keep an eye on it for you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ALL: Stay together, this wind is picking up the sand and blowing it around.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> :: wonders why they care so much about the wind - very illogical to her::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Anything new on the destroyed satellite?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
: :leans head::  CO/CMO:  According to the current trend, the storm should pass over in about an hour.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Good. Thanks

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@*CO*:  Yes, we are taking cover as we speak in the building. I will report our progress in twenty minutes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods to Kalek as he gives the report:: Self: Not unusual for a storm.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CTO*:  Acknowledged Commander Ray.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: not taking his eyes from the console::  CO:  Not yet, Captain.  The probe's telemetry does not indicate anything else, according to our analysis.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: At this point I would say we get undercover.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  This is the part I hate.  Sitting here waiting on an AT.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Nevertheless we should be able to acquire more information in orbit of Polux V.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: motions her team forward towards the building with the CTO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: looks up from her console:: CO: I agree... I just wish we knew what was going so we can solve this problem.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: I suggest we cover our eyes, nose and mouth with something.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> :: pauses outside of the building:: CTO/CEO: We cannot all fit in this building sirs.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: receives some readings on the facility::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: As the building that is here is small and will only hold 3 maybe 4 if they are thin.  I suggest that the rest find a way to stay behind the building where the wind is less and cover themselves with the tarps I included in our engineering gear.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@ Tac Ding: Guard our rear.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Sir, I'd like to request some time to beam down to the planet and do a research of the ruins.  As  soon as we finish our mission in here, of course.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  CSO/CO:  Yes!  I'd like that too!  :: gleams::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: shifts in her seat a bit. She hates waiting for reports to come in::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@<Ens. Thompson> CEO: Ma'am, I have an idea .........We could like make something like an old earth lean to and use the tarp to cover us.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO/CO:  We'll see... after the AT is back on board.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: turns his head to Gallahad and gives her the Vulcan "What the heck?" look::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: smiles as she hears the young Gallahad. Kalek's SO seems to be taking an even bigger liking to him::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Very well, sir.  I appreciate it.  ::nods and glances at Ashley::  CMO:  Would you join us on this research, Doctor Yates?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@:: turns to the CTO:: CTO: What do you say?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Of course Kalek. I would like to see the region.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: nods again::  CMO: Very well.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
Bridge:  Am I the only one NOT interested in seeing what's down there?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  CSO:  Mr. Kalek.... I'm not sure, but seems to me the Away Team is trying to find some cover from the storm....  take a look.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: smiles a bit at Vince:: CO: It is an interesting region Captain. However, I do not mind either way.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: accesses starfleet records on this system and reads up::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::looks at the CO with his usual unchangeable face::  CO:  So it seems, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
:: gives CMO a half smirk, then continues reading::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  I have a particular interest on finding a link between those ruins and Earth's Greek ruins.  I do not think that the Enterprise's reports were accurate.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: smiles at Vince and then Kalek. She looks back at her console readings::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
SO:  Indeed you are correct.  :: pushes a few buttons::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  I'd assume so, unless they were flat wrong.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Sir, the Away Team seems to be looking for some cover from the storm.  If I am not mistaken, they are trying to get cover inside the facility.  However the facility is too small to the current contingent.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: notices the CO and CSO are almost debating. She looks over the vital signs:: ~~~CEO: You better be careful down there T'Ponga. I do not want anyone injured.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Their suits should suffice for the most part.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  I agree.  Actually, I am rather curious to see what are the post's conditions.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@~~~*CMO*: Ashley you know me better.  I am not going to lose any of my boyfriend’s team nor any of my own either.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I agree Captain. Maybe we should inform them that their suits should provide good protection so they can still work.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Wouldn't that be obvious to them?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The science sensors blink for a moment then return to normal.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: For some reason, I don't think it is.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: raises both eyebrows::  Self:  Hhmm...  SO:  Have you seen it?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CEO: Remember you do not really need to take cover. Your suits should protect you as you walk and do some work.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  Assuming they can still see through the blowing sand, etc.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
<SO_Gallahad>  :: looks at Kalek::  CSO:  Uh?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods:: CO: I informed Commander Shemara. If they can see through it I hope that they will proceed.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: ignores Gallahad's clever reply::  CO:  Sir... something has happened.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@~~~*CMO*: Ashley I know that but there is a chance that the force of the sand may act like a microscopic meteor.~~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CMO:  If they're having too much trouble I'm sure they'll inform us.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@CEO: Is it safe to blast?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Sensors have blinked for a moment.  :: begins running a diagnostics::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: looks at her engineering team and heads nod::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: Lets get this thing open.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: all begin to force the door open and a hissing sound is heard as the air inside is forced out by the blowing wind::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CEO: Just do what you need to T'Ponga.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@:: suddenly the door gives and is now open exposing it to everyone::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  How's that storm looking?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Diagnostics do not show anything.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The door opens more easily than expected and the inside of the building is revealed

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@~~~*CMO*: Ashley, I want to get back to my lady more than you know or understand.~~~

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: It is dusty and damp with a large computer against one wall, and a strange looking device in the center of the floor

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  No changes, sir.  :: pushes a few buttons and scans the area, searching for any energy traces that could have acted upon sensors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ALL: Hold up let me scan this for booby traps.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CO*: We have successfully entered the building, nothing else to report.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@:: pulls out her tricorder and scans::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CTO*:  Acknowledged.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: listens to the AT's report::  Self: That was about time.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: hears LtCmdr Ray and hopes that everything will be fine down there::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@ :: scans show no traps::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: It is safe to enter. :: looks at the center piece with concern::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@AT: Perhaps I should go first.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@<Ens. Thompson> CEO: Ma'am this piece of equipment is nothing like I have ever seen before.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@Ens. Thompson: I know what you mean me either.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: she taps various buttons on the console as she looks over their vitals:: Self: Everything still seems normal.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@CTO: I suggest caution here.  Don't touch anything cause it is nothing we have ever seen before.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@CEO: understood.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/CMO:  I haven't found anything that could cause a sensor malfunction.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@*CO*: Sir the equipment here in this building is nothing I have ever seen before.  It is totally new.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CEO: How are things down there T'Ponga? I can sense some concern..~~~

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Again the sensor blinks

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Okay.  Learn everything you can about it, but use extreme caution if you have to handle it at all.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Of course not Kalek. Whatever is causing this I believe is rather intelligent and will not be discovered so easily.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: notices the sensors blinked again, raises both hands from the console::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  Problems Mr Kalek?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Sir, permission to run a level 4 diagnostics on sensor systems.  It has blinked again.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  What will level 4 diagnostics entail?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CMO:  That is true, Doctor...  however I will not allow anyone interfering with my sensor arrays.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Kalek's screen blinks to life and a single word appears

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: nods:: CSO: Oh yes, I agree completely Lieutenant.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Shutting down the sensor array and....   ::sees it blinking and a word::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@*CO*: Understood sir, it looks like it has been here a long time.  It may be old technology from possibly an ancient culture..  Not sure.  Will catalogue everything.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
CSO:  And....?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
@~~~*CMO*: Ashley things are fine only a little bit of concern where the buildings technolgy is.  It is unfamiliar.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: looks at Kalek wondering what is going on::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
:: looks at the CO and then at the CMO::
