Prologue:
We have a mystery that continues to grow and grow as the away team search for clues. They have a crashed ship that is over 500,000 years old on a Class K planet in the Serenity System. So who does this ship belong to and why did they crash here?

Mrlr has found little evidence of who or what this ship was. There seem to be only a few fragments of anything to examine, and no signs that there was ever any life aboard. The only thing the crew have found is that the ship itself is partially organic in nature which is combined with metallic substances.

All clues seem to lead nowhere and now a decision as to what to next must be made.

Back on the Triton, the engineering survey of the hull has been called off due to a couple of incidents regarding two work bees that malfunctioned. Both experienced sudden navigation malfunctions, one colliding with the Triton's bridge and the other spiriling out of control.
The Captain is upset as would be expected but is there more going on here than anyone knows? Maybe there will be some answers soon.......and maybe not.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: what do you suppose it is?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::turn toward the CO:: CO: Captain with your permission I would like to check out the worker bees and interview the pilots.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::growls::*CIV*: Take samples and readings from the ship then proceed with the planet survey

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  It looks to be part of the ship.  I've uncovered the part that goes back to the ship.  It's attached.  Something definitely organic.  Maybe we should get back to Commander Mrlr and see what she's found.  ::Stands up, and points for him to return to the ship.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I have finished with one of the work bee's.  It seems that it was a mechanical malfunction but I can't localize what exactly it was.  I can tell you this it wasn't my pilots.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: You got it Lt. When the Away team gets back I can have a closer look.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::looking around still:: *CO*: Aye sir...I just have a little bit more to explore, but so far nothing to indicate who and what owned this ship before it crashed.  I'll keep you posted.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Have the pilots report to sickbay to be checked out then report to the CEO and see if between the two of you an answer can be found

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Understood...K`Vas out

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Aye sir

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::continues wandering towards the far back of the ship, peering into the gloom::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@;; heads back to the ship::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Yes sir. I am just as much concerned as you are captain.  I don't need any headaches this time around especially now and out here.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Report

@ACTION: Mrlr's keen hearing picks up something inside the ship, a soft clicking sound.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Follows the CTO back to the ship.  Looks around at some consoles, seeing some moss growing on them.::  Wonders:  How could moss be growing in this atmosphere.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Captain, No contacts or evidence of anything that would effect the work bee’s navigation.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::steps into the turbolift and orders it to shuttle bay::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CIV:  Commander, find anything?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: I am not interested in your concerns lieutenant only in results, you have your opponent...do battle.  Find the answers I want

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Now I get into more problems with not finding the answers to about several problems concerning my work bees.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::stops and tilts her head towards the sound.  Barely hears the XO off in the distance but motions for her to keep quiet as she slowly stalks towards the sound::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: I understand sir and I will do battle with my opponent.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  What do you make of the moss and it's growth in this environment.  Strange huh?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Excellent Lieutenant.  Maintain sensor sweeps and a lock on the away team

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Transporter lock on away team stabile as well Sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Gets quiet when she sees the CIV put her hand up.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@Self:  What's she doing?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::steps of the TL and enters the shuttle bay::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::stops as she can't seem to lock on a location and slowly turns in a circle listening.  The sound seems to be coming from all around::

@ACTION: The clicking suddenly stops and all is normal again..well what passes for normal

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: yes very odd

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::heads over to J'Loni:: CEO: Hello chief where are the two pilots?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::slams the hypo spanner against the side of the work bee::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Runs some scans of the moss with her tricorder, and takes a biological sample to take back with her.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::stands completely still, waiting for the sound to start up again::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@CIV: What are you hearing?

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gets up and goes over to the replicator and gets a glass of plain iced tea, then heads to her console and waits for orders from above::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: Maybe you can figure out what the mechanical malfunction is.  I am about ready to torch it.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Looks at the moss in a test tube, wondering how this stuff will grow under the lights in the labs.::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: The last of the Work bee’s have been secured inside the shuttle bay.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::turns and looks at him:: CTO: Well nothing but you talking right now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@CIV: True.

ACTION: A piercing screech suddenly echoes through the Triton's comm. system, causing the crew to cover their ears due to the pain it creates

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CIV/CTO:  If there is nothing else here, we should head back to the ship.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::sighs and heads over to the two of them:: XO/CTO: Did any of you hear that?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CEO: Chief take it easy we are to investigate not fix it bee yet

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Understood, make sure it is powered down.  If it can run into the ship I do not want to see the effects of it moving inside the hanger

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hands fly to her ears::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Looks oddly at the CIV.::  CIV:  Hear .. what, Commander?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::sees the to pilots and tells them to go to sickbay to get checked out.::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Stumbles away from the Console holding his ears.::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she covers her ears as she rushes over to her twins side to see how they are doing::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: winces :: Aloud: What in the name of Kahless is that

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::still looking all around:: XO: That clicking sound...it seemed to come from the ship...

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CEO: Okay let see what we got ::climbs inside the worker bee::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: tries to use the console on his chair to shut down the comm. ::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CIV:  I didn't hear anything.

ACTION: Several Caitian crew members collapse, their ears bleeding from the noise

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Did you hear something?

ACTION: The Captain can't turn off the noise

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Shakes his head again and steps up to his console trying to figure it out.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Holds open her tricorder to scan for anything out of the ordinary on the ship.::  CIV:  Commander, there's nothing here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: Barely.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::the sound is driving her mad with the pain in her head::  ARRRrrgggggggggg  My ears and head .

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Holds the twins as they begin to whimper from the sound.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: Yells trying to be heard about the nose :: *CEO*: Deactivate communications, with a phaser if you have to

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Kevin:  Give me one, I'll help.  ::she takes Jarod and holds him close to her::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:;shakes her head:: XO: There was something.  It stopped when you two entered.

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Tries to move the bottles to try and capture the twins attention.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::closes the worker bee hatch to muffle the noise::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::barely hears the captain::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Drops to one knee, still attempting to find the source through his station.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::pulls her small hand phaser and aims it at the communications panel  and fires::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::just then Trevin and Paige come in the room crying::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CIV:  Scans are not picking anything up, Mrlr.  Are you sure it just wasn't your ears ringing?

Kevin_Ashworth says:
::Hands Jarrod to her.:: OPS: Didn't know how I was going to keep a hold of both of them and distract them. Thank you.

ACTION: Suddenly the noise stops and all is quiet again

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Kevin:  That's what I am here for.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@::hits com badge::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::takes hands off her ears and sees a small amount of blood::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Thinks Commander Mrlr might need to see the doctor when they get back, but holds her thoughts.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Send out teams I need casualty reports...ship wide

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::stops covering his ears and slowly bring his arms down to his side::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::shakes head violently to clear her mind::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: I know what a clicking sound sounds like...and that was definitely it.  Why don't you two step back outside and let me see if it starts up again.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: Report

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::opens the hatch to the worker bee:: CEO: What was that?

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Kevin:  Great, now we have to calm them all down again.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CIV:  Okay, maybe it was something I touched outside.

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Awaits Paige to hit him in the chest like a little missile and scoops her up in his free arm.:: Paige: There, there. It's just a little noise. We're right here. Everything is alright.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Not so loud sir my ears and head are still ringing.  I have no idea what that was or what caused it.  Checking now sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Commander, you're with me.  ::Heads outside the ship.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: shakes his head :: TO: Take us to yellow alert, shields up

Kevin_Ashworth says:
<all right>

Trevin says:
 OPS:  What was that Mommy?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::taps on the worker bees controls and starts to download the sensor and flight logs to the Triton's computer::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sending teams to repair the primary communications systems now sir.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Standing slowly:: CO:  Understood, appears we still have internal communications

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: I have ordered shields raised, get me some answers

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@*CO* the CIV and I have been hearing a sound that is coming from the crashed ship. We have also discovered a moss like substance.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin: I don't know.  Do your ears still hurt because of it.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::waits until the two step outside and then heads back towards the back of the ship again where she was when the sound first started.::

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Scoops her up and plants her on his hip.:: <Paige> Daddy, it hurts. :: She points to her ears.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir you want answers and I am going to get the answers if I have to tear apart the com systems myself.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@ ::nods at the XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@Thinks to self:  Now the CTO's hearing it.  Maybe I should get my hearing checked.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
*Ship wide*: Yellow Alert.

ACTION: Sickbay is suddenly filled with Vulcans and other crew complaining of ear pain

Trevin says:
::nods that it does then wraps her his around her::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: Since you are still here, you can work on the work bee while I tear the communication systems apart I want answers not excuses!!!:: storms out of the shuttle bay headed for a TL and engineering::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::barely hears the yellow alert alarm sounding::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: hardly any thing ma'am.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she holds Trevin the best she can even though she still has Jarod in her arms::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Report commander :: shakes his head to try and get rid of the ringing ::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Circles the ship, tapping on the outside of it as she goes along.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::blood still trickling from her hears she wipes it away and enters the TL:: Computer: Engineering.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
*CO*: Sir do you want me to report back to my station or continue working down here?

Kevin_Ashworth says:
Paige: Does it still hurt? :: Examines her ear that is facing him looking for any signs of reddening.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*FCO*: Secure those worker bees and return to the bridge

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I have left the FCO in the Shuttle bay still working on the work bees and I am on my way to engineering for the answers.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CIV*:  Commander, anything?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: All stations answer condition yellow.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
*CO*: Acknowledge captain

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  I don't like this, Commander.  We should gather what we have and get back to the ship.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::is listening carefully the sound when the comm. cuts through from the CO.  Sighs again at the interruptions and answers back:: *CO*: There's a noise down here that I'm investigating.  I'll report as soon as I find something.

@ACTION: Commander Ray feels something touch him on his shoulder

Paige says:
Daddy: Not bad now, but it scared me then hurt, but not no more.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Shall I notify the away team to return immediately?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*XO*: Not yet, Cmdr.  Give me a chance to listen without the comm. going off. ::says that with a smile in her voice::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::sees that the logs have been transferred to the Triton so he performs a complete shutdown of the worker bees::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: What type of noise, how many casualties we are still checking up here

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CIV*:  Aye, sorry, Commander.  ::Grins.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CTO*:  What?  What do you mean?

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin:  Are you feeling better?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@ ::jumps::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::jumps out of the shuttle bay and gets inside the TL::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TL: Bridge

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and into main engineering:: All:  What in the hell is going on here.   Where the blazes is Ens. Winters??? Someone get on the communications systems and I want to know what the blazes was that noise that nearly blew my head apart and I want it yesterday!!!!!

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: Casualties?  It was just a little clicking noise, sir.  No casualties. ::thnks to herself.:: Self: Unless it was a cricket and I stepped on it. ::continues on towards the back of the ship::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Sees the CTO jumping.::  CTO:  Commander?  What are you doing?  This is no time for play!

Trevin says:
 OPS:  A little.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::wipes some more blood from her ears::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@::Places the palms of her hands on the ship, and puts her ear to the ship listening for anything.::

@ACTION: Commander Ray's suit malfunctions. The readings show that failure will happen in five minutes

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: I know I just felt something touch my shoulder.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: This was through the comm. and caused intense pain and bleeding to some races, wrap it up and prepare to  beam back to the Triton

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CTO:  Commander!  I'm getting malfunctions on your EVA suit!  We need to get you back to the ship!

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::walks to the main control board and her hands fly across it::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin:  Good, I really need to see how Jarod is doing, since he a baby.  Daddy has Brandon and looking after Paige.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: As soon as they are ready bring the team home

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: As he looks her over he gently brushes his lips against her ear.:: Paige: Does this make it feel better now?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Aye aye sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CO*:  Captain, this is Commander Sommers.  We are in need of an immediate transport of the CTO back to the ship.  His EVA suit is failing.  Estimated time for complete failure .. 5 minutes!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: Understood.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::steps of the lift and quickly moves to his console::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::gives it up anyways as no one will let her listen in peace.  Knows now why there are no off buttons on the comm. units:: *CO*: Aye sir...I'll just make one more sweep and meet the XO and CTO outside.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks to the Captain to confirm emergency transport.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*Away Team*: Prepare for emergency beam out

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Bloody communications systems are showing no abnormalities yet that sound came from nowhere and I want to know where!!!

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::takes and seat and checks the reading us it::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CIV*:  Commander, I need to beam the CTO back to the ship.  His EVA suit functions are failing.

Trevin says:
OPS:  Was I this small?  ::pointing to Jarod and Brandon::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*CIV*:  Prepare for immediate beam back to the ship.  Captain's orders!

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: motions with his hand :: TO: Initiate emergency transport, have a med team standing by for the CTO

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@CO*:  Aye Captain.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*XO*: Go ahead Commander.  I'll be right there. ::turns and heads out towards the entrance still listening::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Nods to the Captain:: *CTO*: Hold your position, Initiating transport now.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
@*Science Team*:  Science, this is Commander Sommers.  Prepared for immediate beam back to the ship.

ACTION: The away team is beamed back to the ship

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin:  No, you were a little bigger, but keep in mind. Even though they were born smaller, they just grow up to be taller than you when you are all full grown.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Sir do you want to break orbit?

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Paige grins as his breath tickles her ear lobe.:: <Paige> Daddy: Silly Daddy. :: Said with a giggle.:: All better now.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Helps the CTO take off the EVA suit.::  CTO:  There you go, Commander.  Are you okay?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: I don't under stand.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the CIV on the transport padd, grumbling.::  CIV:  Sorry, Commander.  I hope you got what we needed.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Negative take us to a high orbit, but I want to know if that ship has anything to do with this.  If so I am not leaving it to kill anyone else...especially with the Federation claiming a planet in this system

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO; Away team is aboard

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Passes her bio kit samples and her tricorder to the science team.::  Science Team:  Get this to the labs, and have someone analyze the data.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Understood, maintain yellow alert

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::finds herself in mid-stride suddenly on the ship.  Stops and pulls off her EVA suit::  XO: Commander....actually I didn't.  There was something down there that should be investigated further.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV/XO*: Report to the bridge

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I have torn the communications systems relays and I can't find the source of the malfunction.  Could it have come from the planet?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Very well Sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CIV:  It's going to need to wait, Commander.  ::Starts to take off her EVA suit.::  Something doesn't sit right with me.  We need to check in with the Captain.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::starts to increase the z axis ::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Are you injured?  Do you need a doctor?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO:I was hearing something and the next thing I know I felt something on my shoulder and my EVA suit is malfunctioning.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hears her kittens increase in sound and knows the ship is moving::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::growls to herself but keeps it out of her voice:: XO: Aye commander.  I'll go and report now.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
:: Grabs a medical tricorder and starts to scan him.::  CTO:  You'll live. Let's get to the bridge.

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: As he chuckles at her Brandon starts to squirm.:: Paige: Down you go. Brandon is getting wiggly. I'm glad I helped you make it feel better. ::Kisses her cheek.:

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
*CO*: On my way, sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: And no I'm fine. Honest.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
:: Cycles through the scans looking for something to pinpoint the anomaly.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Okay, let's head back to the bridge.  We need to report to the Captain.  ::Wonders what information she has to report.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::holds position in high orbit::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::heads for the bridge without waiting for the others, her tail twitching as the only sign of her  irritation::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Yell if you see anything out of the ordinary from navigation sensors.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::walks over to the other board and pulls the panel off and pulls the chips::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Heads to the TL, waiting patiently for the CTO to enter, then ordering it to the bridge.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Yes sir.

Paige says:
:: Sits next to him on the bed.:: Daddy: Can I help with him? :: She moves over and helps me steady the bottle.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::holds each chip and examines it closely and reinserts it in its same place and continues this procedure till all the chips are scanned::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  First sign that anything is wrong, I want you to head to sickbay.  ::The TL doors open, and she exits heading for the Captain.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::steps onto the bridge and goes to stand in front of the CO:: CO: Sir...there was something unusual down there that I didn't get a chance to finish investigating.  Permission to return to the surface?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: Checking now

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she gets up and moves everyone on to the bed, she makes sure everyone is comfortable::  Kevin:  Thought we three would join you too.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::wipes the blood from her ears that is still trickling but less now::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Denied.  Whatever that sound was it was an attack, as I think the sudden EVA suit malfunction was.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::starts to go over the logs and his current sensor read outs::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: On your orders I will have myself checked out

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the CTO.::  CTO:  I'm sure you're fine. I just don't want anything to happen to you.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks puzzled:: CO: Sir...did something happen here?  That sound I heard was far from an attack.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: Ian everything looks normal here

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Yes sir.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: Do you have anything?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Heads over to the Captain and waits patiently listening to the Captain and Commander Mrlr speak.::

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Chuckles.:: OPS: Tehya, I've got a helper here, but we would enjoy the company. :: Points with his free hand at Paige.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir I have pulled all the isolinear chips from the Communications systems and I find no damage or anything to suggest tampering.

ACTION: The samples that were recovered on the planet are secured in the science lab under quarantine

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Yes Mrlr that sound we received incapacitated most of the crew while it went on.  Some were sent to sick bay, most of the Caitians, Vulcans, Ferengi were taken to sick bay.  Any race with enhanced hearing

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Kevin:  I see.  Boy, this is a pretty picture for a change.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: I don't understand it.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::turns to the TO:: FCO: What’s that?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CO:  Excuse me, Captain, but we didn't hear anything down on the planet.  Perhaps the two incidents are unrelated, and maybe Commander Mrlr has a point.  It would certainly give us a better understanding of the ship and its crew if we could have another look, Sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks around and notices the pale faces and the smell of sweat and fear on the bridge:: CO: What I heard was far different from what you must have heard then.  Curious

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: I recorded a signal but computer can't identify it

Kevin_Ashworth says:
OPS: Yes it is. Computer: Take a holo of the current inhabitants of this room and save.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, get with Lieutenant Cerdan, and try to figure out where that sound came from they were experiencing.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::moves over to Ian and looks at the signal::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: Yes ma'am.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Alone I would agree with you commander.  But the three events together, worker bee malfunction, sound wave, EVA suit malfunction, lead me to think our crew may be under attack.  I cannot send a team to the planet until we know more.

Computer says:
Holo image taken and stored under family.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Gestures to the console:: FCO: Nothing I've ever saw before.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CIV: Considering its effect on your species Mrlr, it was fortunate you did not hear what the Triton heard

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::visibly angry and really upset with not being able to find the cause of the malfunction slams fist on rail of console::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CTO: The signal is patched to your console Chief.

Kevin_Ashworth says:
OPS: One picture to go. :: Grins at her.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::with tears in her eyes she comms the captain::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CO:  I understand Captain.  Suggest Commander Ray's suit be looked at by science to determine the cause of the malfunction.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
TO: Maybe its an audio file but it may suppose to be heard in a different kind of environment

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Kevin:  Thanks, Hunnie.  We need to make sure that goes out to our families, when the time is right.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir ::voice strained:: I can't find the reason or the answer.  It is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.  It is very frustrating.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the CO for a long moment.  Thoughtfully:: CO Aye sir, I suppose it was lucky.  But if the answers are down on the planet...we'll not be finding out much from way up here.  Just a thought, sir.

Kevin_Ashworth says:
OPS: Agreed.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CSO: I want the sensors set to maximum. If anything is out ther find it!

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Perhaps. ::Thinks a moment::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Commander that ship down there do you know what kind of environment it had inside of it?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: Break the investigation into teams, have science look at the samples , the FCO and Mrlr will look into the sound, and the CEO and CTO will investigate the worker bees

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: If you'll excuse me, I'll run the data from the sound through the database. ::exits up to the secondary science console::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Lieutenant, Science has all the tricorder scans as well as the biological samples we took from the planet.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Aye, Captain.  I'll get right on it!

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Lt Meadows I have another idea. What was the atmosphere on the surface?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CEO*: You have done the best you can,  I should have sent a warrior to do a warrior's job, the CTO will be joining you shortly to aid you.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, if you are still feeling all right, can you please get with Lt. Randolph in engineering to evaluate the worker bees malfunctions.  Sounds like J'Loni could use a hand.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::sits on the deck and wipes the errant tears and the small amount of blood from her ear::  Self: This is no way for a Klingon to act.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
FCO/CIV:  You heard the Captain, find out what caused that sound, and report back directly to the Captain on your findings.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: the between the lines of what Mrlr said angers him, but he has the safety of a ship and its crew to think of ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sits down at the console and looks at the CO for a long moment, wondering if the weakness in his leg hasn't made him much more cautious than he was.  Looks over at the XO when she speaks to her and nods:: XO: Aye Cmdr.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hears the captain:: *CO*: Sir! ::growls loudly:: I am a warrior and I can do a warriors job I need no help from a human.  ::now angry::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Heads over to Lieutenant Cerdan.::  TO:  Ian, what do you make of all of this?  Any thoughts?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Meadows as he gets another assignment.::

ACTION: An incoming message makes the operations console light blink

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
TO: Scan the records of the audio waves and check the universal translator se if you make sure it wasn't a means of contact.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks up as she steps closer.:: XO : Ma'am I think the FCO was onto something

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Lt, have you found anything so far?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::gets up angry at being weak with her self and goes back to finding the cause of the problem::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Taps the Console to retrieve the message.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: Well commander the TO had found this signal it could have been the source of the noise if it somehow got pipe through our comm. systems.'

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: heads to the engineering::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Where did the signal come from?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the incoming message on the operations console blinking.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: Not sure yet commander ::starts a trace on the signal::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Captain, Incoming transmission........... We are being hailed. It is Serenity.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Do we have the signal recorded?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Put it though

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: It a low band width signal but the computer didn't identify it

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Activates the view screen.::

ACTION: Admiral Sheridan's face appears on the screen

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: enters engineering::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::sticks her head inside the com panel and starts to re-examine the relays::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: stands:: COM: Serenity: VADM: Yes admiral

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
COM: Triton: CO: Captain, at last! I've been trying to reach you for more than 2 hours.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks up at the screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the admiral on the view screen, and turns her attention to the incoming transmission.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::thinks:: FCO; If we run it through the universal translator will that cause the problems you had before?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM:VADM: We have had some system troubles including the comm system

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: I'm not sure but I'm unable to even track the source of the signal

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
COM: Triton: CO: K`Vas, the Triton has received new orders. Are your systems able to receive the data?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  Ian, are you okay?  They said there was some trouble on the ship.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
:: Gestures to Sam to look at the signal he has displayed.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Ready to receive data lieutenant?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: I was guessing it came from that ship below but the environment it should be hear in is not like ours

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
XO: An audio signal of unknown origin or composition,

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the signal.::  TO:  I see it, Ian.  Looks like Captain needs you to receive some data.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::still trying to find the cause of the malfunction::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Long range array is online Captain.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Let's try it.  But keep it on a tight bandwidth in an isolated file.  That should keep it isolated from the rest of the systems.  See if you can compress it into what it would sound like in the same atmosphere as the planet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CEO: What are you checking on?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: Serenity: VADM: Begin transmission admiral

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
TO:  What do you make of it?  You mentioned Lt. Meadows was onto something.  What were you thinking?

Kevin_Ashworth says:
:: Settles back and helps Paige hold her baby brother and burp him after he finished his formula.::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
COM: Triton: CO: Very well, prepare for transfer.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::hears the CTO and bangs her head as she jumps a little::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sitting on the bed with her family, feeling secure about her place in the grand scheme of things::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CIV: Okay here’s goes nothing ::taps controls a science station and gets the signal ready for testing::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CO: Receiving data sir

ACTION: The transmission complete, the Admiral smiles at K`Vas just as the channel is closed.
