Summary: The Triton has arrived to the planet to rescue the missing the Starfleet personal. Upon arriving, it was soon made clear that the ship wasn't going to be able to get close due to the old orbit defensive system that is in place around the planet.

A probe was launched and was learned that the atmosphere was contaminated with high levels of radiation that did dissipate as it got closer to the ground before contact was lost with it.

We join out crew as they have just left the shuttlebay aboard a shuttle heading for the planet.

Will the missing officers be found? Will the shuttle get bay the satellites?

Stay tuned to the next chapter…………….

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#COM: CO: Captain , it is good to see. Though i do have bad news.  I was hoping to tell you when you arrived back here, but since you have been detained with this rescue mission I thought I would call you and tell you know so you and your crew can be prepared.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Morak:  Oh?  Bad news is never good.  What is it Sir?

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Have the ship standby to take the satellites out

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: Aye, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Be ready to take evasive maneuvers if one of those things even beeps at us the wrong way

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: I've just finished punching them into the computer.

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#COM:CO: IT has been decided by Starfleet command that the USS Triton is being retired and reassigned to Starfleet academy to be used as a training vessel.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Good man

::sits back stunned, her mouth trying to work.::  COM:Morak:  What? ::Whispers the last word::

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
COM:CO: This is in no reflect to you and your crew. Myself is very proud to have you in my sector, but this is out of my hands I am sorry.

@Action:  The shuttle approaches the outer atmosphere with notice form the satellites.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@All: well was about time we had a run of good luck

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::still trying to process the information::  COM:Morak:   So what is going to happen to us?

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Agreed, sir. 

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Once we clear the upper atmosphere begin scanning for the shuttle and life signs

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
CTO: Don't hold your breath commander... we're not out of the woods yet

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::smiles:: CEO: Better the devil you know

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
CTO: I'm getting high levels of radiation....

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
::grins:: CTO: Told ya... 

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CEO: Could they be from the atmosphere?

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
COM;CO: Most of your crew reassignments are already happened and ready to transmit now. You senor staff will be contacted individually with chooses of station or ship. They are part of Starfleet and their skills have not gone unnoticed.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Adjust the shields to compensate

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: get us below this muck

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::nods::  COM:Morak:   I see...Ummmm what is going to happen to me?

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Aye. ::Speeds the shuttle up a bit.::

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
CTO: Done.. and yes it's quite possibly in the atmosphere...

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
COM:CO: We have no ship to offer you captain. But Starfleet has given me the opportunity to offer a teaching job at the academy.  And your class......  ::grinning::  Training cadets on the USS Triton.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::looks at him thoughtfully.:: COM:Morak:   Back to where I started.  I was originally pulled out of the Academy almost 8 years ago.  Never thought I'd go back.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Anything on sensors yet?

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
COM;CO: I know CHloe. I do apologize, but this is the best i can offer you. You will still retain your command of the Triton,, only be reporting to the academy.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::shakes her head:: CTO: Nope. It's too early to tell. Rad levels are getting lower the more we decent though

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: OK, once were clear start scanning for a debris field

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Smiles:: COM:Morak:   There is nothing to be sorry about.  I think I can use the break.  Going home for a bit will be a welcome change.  The children's life will be at least stable.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Once were clear of the radiation begin flying a search pattern

@Action: Reaching the lower atmosphere, about 30 miles from the surface.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: You got it, Com... ::watches her screen flash:: Sir! I've got the beacon... it's faint, but I've got it

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: We're about 30 miles from the surface, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Well done, send the heading to the helm

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Adjust your course and bearing accordingly

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#COM:CO: Once you complete your current assignment. Return to Starbase 16, to transfer your crew.  You will be a taking on a skeleton crew of personal heading back to earth as well. I'll let you inform your crew and hand out transfer orders. at your discretion.  And please see me before you head to earth.

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Aye sir, switching to new heading.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Morak:   Aye sir.  It shouldn't e too long.  I suspect we will be at Starbase 16 in a few days.

Host Adm_Mor`ak says:
#COM:CO: Very good captain. Godspeed.  Mor’ak out.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::sends the heading to the helm and adjusts shields to compensate for rad levels::

@Action: The surface is a mess, debris everywhere. Ruins of a city but no life forms other then the faint beacon is seen on sensors.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::looks out the cockpit window:: Self: dammn

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: There's nowhere to land, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Understood, any lifesigns? ::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Anything at all?

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Make a low level pass. Lets see what we can see.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::shakes her head:: CTO: Nothing yet...

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: No signs of remains?

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Aye sir. ::Takes the shuttle lower.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: starts ticking of the pro`s and cons in his mind of landing::

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: I'm not detecting any

@Action: As the shuttle descends lower to do a fly by, a field is seen before them down inside a large valley 1/2 mile across that is covered with metal plating from one side to another with large doors maybe 100 feet across, all spaced evenly. Some are open and some are close.

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: You se that, sir?

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Very well chief. Mr. Keller find a LZ close to that structure

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Already on it. ::Begins looking for a place to land.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@All: Missile silo`s similar to those used on earth in the late 20th century

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@All; Explains the radiation

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Wait, 20th century Earth?

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Yep

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Take her down

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Aye sir. ::Takes the shuttle down softly near the silo.

@Action: The Shuttle lands with only a light bump.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@All: lets have a quick look around then bug out if we don’t find anything

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@Self: Well, I've come a bit from forgetting the umbilical’s, now haven't I?

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: Just so you know, we're only good for a couple of hours. 

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: After that, we won't have much protection on the shuttle from the rad levels

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Understood

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: lowers his head for a second as he thinks::

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@::Stands up, ready to go.::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Chief log the debris, Mr. Keller get us out of here

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: Aye, Sir

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::looks at the two other officers:: All: I`m not willing to expose us to the radiation. If anyone survived the crash i doubt they would have lasted long on the surface. I`m not willing to put my crew at risk for a maybe

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: Agreed, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@Sits back down, hesitantly.:: CTO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@CEO: Chief note it in the ships log so SFC can send a better equipped search team out

@Action: A head pokes out of one of the silos and looks at the shuttle and disappears back down.

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Sir, I just saw a head!

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: notices the movement:: Self: I just knew it.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@FCO: Takes us down

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::picks his helmet up and puts it on checking the seal:: CEO: Chief I’m going out to have a look and see what or who that was. If I’m not back in 2 hours regardless you get outta here

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::frowns:: Self: Bloody radiation

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CEO: Agreed.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@CTO: Yes Sir... ::looks a little worried and starts to make sure transporters are ready::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: picks up his carbine and gets ready:: CEO: Seal this dammn thing once I’m out

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::smirks:: CTO: Are you kidding, I'm only going to open the doors enough for you to get out. I don't want any dust in here... it clogs up the sensors

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::smiles back at the CEO:: CEO: Gee chief I can feel the love

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::winks at him::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::sets himself::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: jumps out the door weapon up and ready and heads for the silo braced against the wind::

@Action: As the CTO steps out, the wind is blowing at a pretty steady pace <about 30 mph>, lots a dust and particles in the air.

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CTO: Take care, Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: stops and checks his tri-corder::

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::monitors the CTO's vitals and keeps an eye on him::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@::closes the tri-corder and steps towards the edge of the silo and looks down:: Self: that first step is a doozey

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: flicks his helmet mounted lights on and slings his weapon. Begins to climb down the ladder::

@Action: As the CTO lands to his feet, He lands on a steel mesh floor, that heads the way to a long corridor leading in a downward direction. No wind is blowing, the air is clear.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: lands on the platform and looks around, pulls the ole tri-corder out and scans the corridor::

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::squares her shoulders:: FCO; What the...? I've lost him!

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@*CTO*: Hogan to McQueen.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: looks at the readings and heads down the corridor cautiously::

@Action: The CTO doesn’t hear the CEO.

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::hears nothing and swears silently::

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@CEO: I can try and boost power.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
@:: turns the external speakers on:: Out Loud: Knock, Knock anyone home?

FCO_LtJg_Keller says:
@::Opens a panel and tries a few tricks.::

CEO_Ltjg_Hogan says:
@::shakes her head:: FCO: Give it a try... but I think whatever is in those plates is blocking him... probably the same reason why I couldn't pick up any life forms...
