Vesuvius Mission Stardate 10105.22

Host Kris says:
The U.S.S. Vesuvius has arrived at Sector 7118, known as the Antari Parsect to investigate reports of unusual ship traffic.

Host Kris says:
Sensors indicate an asteroid belt at the far end of the area, and two small M-class planetoids near it. One of the planetoids is orbited by two small moons.

Host Kris says:
As the U.S.S. Vesuvius approached the planetoids, a distress beacon located in the asteroid belt began broadcasting.  The transmission was indecipherable, and the beacon was destroyed by asteroid impaction.

Host Kris says:
A probe has been launched to collect data, and Commander Kelson is evaluating whether an away team is warranted at this time.  Initial data analysis indicates the distress beacon was approximately 100 years old and of unknown origin.

Host Kris says:
Data from Starfleet libraries reveals there was an old smuggling ring that operated in this area approximately 100 years ago. Their primary shipping cargo was androids, robots and their associated parts and tools.

Host Kris says:
Not much is known about them, and they just appear to have fizzled out of existence. Some speculate that Ferengi business competition put them out of business.

Host Kris says:
Captain Royce and Chief Medical Officer Delar are en route from Starfleet Medical Headquarters where they have recently attended a medical symposium.

Maj: Report.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Leans forward to see how much longer to the Vesuvius ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Our ETA to the Vesuvius is about five minutes.

CSO Trelan says:
<Maj> CSO: We are still trying to decipher the probes transmissions. No headway so far.

CMO Delar says:
:: Sits back and continues to look at the stars. He thinks he can see Betazed off in the distance, but without star charts he can't be sure. ::

CSO Trelan says:
Maj: Very well. I'll be on the bridge. Keep me posted.

CSO Trelan says:
<Maj> CSO: Aye, sir.

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir. I have the shuttle on the Long Range Sensors.

CMO Delar says:
:: Snaps out of his own thoughts ::   CO: Aye captain...   ::Checks his console::    Confirmed, ETA in 5 minutes, shall I hail them ma'am?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Anything from the planet surface, Dathan?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the lab and enters the nearest turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Scans planet surface ::

CSO Trelan says:
Computer: Bridge.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign.  On audio...

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Hail them, I mean.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Most recent readings coming in now.  Standby...

FCO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir, opening a channel.

FCO Lane says:
:: Opens a channel ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the turbolift as it deposits him onto the bridge ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Looks like class M...no humanoid life detected...

Host CO Royce says:
COM: Vesuvius:  Magma to Vesuvius...we are approaching your location.  Permission to dock.

XO Kelson says:
COM: SHUTTLE: Vesuvius to Magma...How are you doing, Captain?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Steps over to SCI II, relinquishing SCI I to the CSO ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  There are some small, burn like scars on the surface too...

XO Kelson says:
COM: Magma: Bring her on in, Captain.  Hope your stay was a nice one.

Host CO Royce says:
COM: Vesuvius:  We're about five minutes out, Sam.  How's the ship?

CMO Delar says:
:: Sits at his seat, and waits while the Captain requests their docking clearance ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Checks sensors ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Dathan, open shuttle bay two for the Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Begins docking sequence ::

XO Kelson says:
COM: Magma: Same as you left it, Ma'am.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.  :: Seals shuttle bay with force field then opens the doors ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Instructs the shuttle bay to prepare to receive the Magma ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Stands and goes to the back of the shuttle cabin and begins to place several PADDs on Denel'tan Torak Symbiosis into his personal bag ::

Host CO Royce says:
COM:  Vesuvius:  Good to hear you didn't dent her, Sam.

XO Kelson says:
COM: Magma: Not with Lane at the helm.  :: Smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Tell me about these burns, Dathan.

Host CO Royce says:
COM: Vesuvius:  Great!  I'll see you shortly, Magma out.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Not much to tell from this distance Commander.  We'll need to get a closer look.

FCO Lane says:
:: Overhears Kelson and blushes slightly ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Maneuvers the Magma for docking ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Then when the Captain is on board, I'll suggest a landing party.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to XO ::

XO Kelson says:
CEO: How are the engines holding up, Mac?

CMO Delar says:
:: Closes the bag and places it on the floor and returns to his seat. He checks his console. :: CO: Docking clearance confirmed sir...

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  However, if I were to speculate...

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Please...go on.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Scans the surrounding area of the "scars" ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Thank you, Lon.

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Heating up a bit, sir…however I am opening up the intakes a bit

Host CO Royce says:
:: Cuts engines to impulse, maneuvering the Magma for docking ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Watches the shuttle approach on her sensors ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  These look like actual burn scars, not consistent with asteroid impact or volcanic eruptions...

CEO McGregor says:
XO: She'll be fine

CSO Trelan says:
XO: All vegetation in the area is virtually gone. Burned away.

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Keep an eye on them and do what you can.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  More like a burn scar on a person.  The vegetation appears to be physically burned away.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Completes docking procedures ::   CMO:  Shutting down systems, Doc.

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Aye sir

CMO Delar says:
CO: I really wish I would have the time to learn how to fly one of these things… ::Looks around as the computer brings up and shut down system's check ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir. The shuttle is on board and secured.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  The scars are parallel to each other.

XO Kelson says:
CSO/CTO: Hypothesis on the burns?

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I got lucky and took a few courses between all the medical ones when at the Academy.  :: smiles ::

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  I'm thinking weapons fire.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Weapons fire?

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you, Lane.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Opens Magma doors ::   CMO:  There you go, Doc...home...safe and sound

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Possibly an ancient form of hieroglyphic?

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Some kind of massive energy weapon could do that.

CEO McGregor says:
*Engineering* I'm going to open the manifolds 20% as well as increase the anti-matter flow to compensate.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Purposely burned into the surface?

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: I was studying psychology while you were learning to fly...    :: Grabs his bag ::    CO: After you ma'am...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Unbuckles and moves to grab her gear ::

CEO McGregor says:
*Engineering* Inform me of any problems.

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Ma'am...I suggest sending an away team to the surface.  We need a closer look.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Thank you, Lon.  I'd like to discuss your impressions of the symposium later since we didn't get a chance to discuss things in-depth.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Anyone we know have that sort of weapon in its arsenal?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits shuttle ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Interesting, Dru...Any pattern?

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Do what you feel is best, Sam.

CTO Wakefield says:
XO:  Negative, not this magnitude.

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Aye, aye.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Nothing discernable, sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Steps out of the shuttle after Royce ::   CO: Of course ma'am, it would be a pleasure. If you would excuse me though sir, I feel that I should check in with sickbay and see if everything is moving smoothly without me...

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  We'll chat later, Lon.   :: Moves to the corridor ::

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Sir I have some information on the Power type of that beacon

XO Kelson says:
CTO/CSO: Gentlemen, you're with me.  Let's go exploring...  :: Smiles ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: Sir, shall I maintain standard orbit or take up a stationary position?

XO Kelson says:
CEO: What's the information, Mac?

CEO McGregor says:
XO: It would appear to be Vulcan.  Probably stolen.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to XO, then to the TO on duty ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks down corridor to turbolift ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Standard orbit over the desert region.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods, turning SCI I back over to Hilton ::

FCO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads for turbolift ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::   Computer:  Deck 8

XO Kelson says:
CEO: That would be consistent with the smuggler theory...

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Aye

CMO Delar says:
:: Carries his bag over his shoulder and heads to a nearby turbolift t::    Computer: Main Sickbay...

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Keep the Captain informed.  You have the bridge.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift and strides towards her quarters ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Adjust the orbit attitude ::

CEO McGregor says:
XO: This isn't logical enough to be a Vulcan operation.   :: Chuckles::

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Okay, bridge is yours, Mac. :: Gets on turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Gets on turbolift ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters her quarters quickly setting down her gear ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Follows the XO ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Exits the turbolift and turns a corner to enter sickbay. He find the lights are dim in the area of his office, but there are several nurses and general staff on duty ::

XO Kelson says:
Computer: Transporter room 1

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Checks his phaser, sets it for level two stun ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Steady as she goes Lass

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sees Emily bounding out of the bedroom towards her, she is meowing loudly her welcome ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Have you caught up on the data Hrothgar left you, Dru?

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles at the Chief Engineer ::   CEO: Aye sir.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Shakes head at mention of Lt. Brehgorn ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift with CSO/CTO ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Just had a chance to glance over it, sir.

CEO McGregor says:
CTO: Anything new on the sensors

Host CO Royce says:
:: Picks up the cat, giving her loves while moving towards her computer terminal that is beeping it's messages to her ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Enters his office ::   Computer: Lights to full.   :: Watches as the lights go to full power and he can see several reports on his desks left by the duty officer for his approval ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sets Emily down and accesses her messages ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters transporter room ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads for transporter room with XO and CSO ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Gets up on transporter pad ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Quickly scans her messages and sees one from Dru.  Smiling she opens that one first. ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Position status

CMO Delar says:
:: Picks up a few reports, most of them are minor injuries caused by careless behaviors, et cetera::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps onto the transport pad ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO/CSO: Let's get a move on gentlemen.  :: Hops onto pad ::

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Maintaining standard orbit over the desert region of the planetoid.  All systems nominal.

XO Kelson says:
Transporter Chief: Energize...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles as she reads Dru's message...looking around she spies a vase of roses he has sent her ::

CTO Wakefield ::materializes on planet:: (TRANSPRT.wav)

CMO Delar says:
:: Exits his office with a few PADDs in hand and looks over them. He accidentally bumps into a new medical officer, a cadet on assignment for field training. ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION:  The Away Team safely arrives on the planetoid's surface.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Run a sensor scan of the surrounding area of that region, if you please.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Conducts a visual scan of the area ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Pulls out tricorder upon materialization ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to read the mission orders ::

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Running sensor sweep of the area sir.  :: Begins her sweep ::

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Let's try to get a lock on the source of the beacon.

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Aye, Commander. :: Scans ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: I'd also like a constant lock on the away team; just in case...I have an itch about this mission.

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: The scars we located are just over that ridge to the north.

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: Lead us on, Dru.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Has hesitated taking the big chair...But move towards it ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Follows Dru, ready to draw phaser at a moments notice ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Walks the 300 feet to the ridge ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Peers over the edge, scanning the "scars" ::

CMO Delar says:
Cadet: My apologies cadet, are you alright? ::Tries to compose himself, and looks the cadet over. He appears to be a fairly strong individual, but shows obvious signs of ego and self-demeanor, not Delar's first choice for a member of his staff, but it's what Starfleet sent him. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits back and reviews the data thus far on the mission ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: Sir, if what I'm getting is right, there is a slight residue from the older type of engines used for ground take off.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Arrives at ridge, and walks ahead of the Away Team slightly, takes a closer look at the scars...::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Do you have a lock on the Away Team?

CEO McGregor says:
:: Decides to sit in the big chair ::

XO Kelson says:
@*CO* Captain, we've located the burn marks.  They seem to be from small ship thrusters.  There has been activity here.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Lock holding sir.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Hears CSO and XO ::

XO Kelson says:
@CSO: How old are the scars, Dru?

CMO Delar says:
:: Listens to the cadets blunt apology and sees him walk off to continue his work ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: I would place the marks at two weeks old.

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Transfer engineering 1 console control to XO station. ::

CSO Trelan says:
@XO: A little too recent to be a coincidence.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Very well

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Understood…Royce to the bridge.

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO/CSO:  This looks like it was a massive evacuation... or the launch of an assault, or launch to defend against an assault...

Host Kris says:
ACTION: A buzzing, mechanical whine is heard briefly by the members of the Away Team.

XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Cover our back, Dathan.  They could still be around.

CSO Trelan says:
@CTO: Agreed.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Sensor sweeps show severe scaring to the surface...no weapons reside present. Source is unknown at this time.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Draws phaser and spins towards the source of the sound ::

XO Kelson says:
@CSO/CTO: Find cover!

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Hears a slight whirring ::

CEO McGregor says:
CO: McGregor here sir

CMO Delar says:
:: Picks up the PADDs he had dropped and begins tapping his approval on them. He completes this swiftly and places them on a nearby desk for processing and decides to check into the bridge. ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: How old are they

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Did you receive that last transmission from Sam?

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Heads for an outcropping of bushes drawing phaser ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION:  A small flying mechanical device buzzes over the ridge and fires a stunning beam at Trelan.  He collapses.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Heads back down the ridge and flattens out ::

CEO McGregor says:
CO: Negative sir

FCO Lane says:
:: Checks the readings::   CEO: Looks like approximately two weeks....

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Fires at the flying device::

CSO Trelan says:
@Self: Uhh!!

XO Kelson says:
@::Takes out phaser and fires on flyer ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: The flying mechanical device disappears.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Runs over to Trelan ::

CSO Trelan says:
@:: Falls heavily to the ground, unconscious ::

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  The Away Team has located the burn marks.  They seem to be from small ship thrusters.  There has been activity there.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Sir! I have a change in Trelan's biosign.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Covers area for more flying machines ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Checks for pulse ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Contact the Away Team

FCO Lane says:
CEO: He appears to be unconscious.

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO: He's alive.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Aye sir,

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO: Sir, are you under attack?

XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Good.

CMO Delar says:
:: Heads to the nearest turbolift and directs it to the bridge. He stands in the lift, and waits as a junior science officer enters the lift. They quietly proceed to the bridge. ::

CTO Wakefield @::Takes CSO's tricorder and scans him with it:: (Tricorder.wav)

XO Kelson says:
@*CEO* Mac, get a medic down here ASAP!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Continues to review the reports on this mission ::

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO: On the way sir

XO Kelson says:
@*CEO* Trelan's been hit.

CEO McGregor says:
CMO: Doc we need a medic at the Away Teams location on the double

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Shall I beam Trelan back?

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO: On the way sir

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  He's just stunned.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Do it directly to sickbay

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  I'm not a medic, but I think he'll be fine.  No permanent damage.

CMO Delar says:
:: Enters the bridge and looks around ::   Self: It's good to be back...

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Negative belay that

XO Kelson says:
@CTO: I asked for a medic.  We might need one if more of those things appear.

CEO McGregor says:
CMO: Doctor I need one of your medics on the surface

FCO Lane says:
:: Locks on to the CSO::   *XO*: Stand by....transporting Trelan.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Nods to XO ::  @ XO: I recommend we push our phasers up to level three stun::

FCO Lane ::transports Trelan::  (Trnsprtr.wav)

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO: Sir, are you under attack?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Yawns as she continues to read her reports ::

XO Kelson says:
@*CEO* Not at the moment...

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Trelan is now in sickbay.

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO: Do you need assistance?

XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Did you get any readings on the flying machine?

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Acknowledged

CEO McGregor says:
Comm: XO What happened sir?

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  Negative.  Dru was using his tricorder, let me check the logs...  :: Checks Dru's tricorder sensor logs ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Keeps an eye on the rest of the away team's biosigns ::

XO Kelson says:
@*CEO*: We were attacked by a unidentified flying object.

Host Kris says:
ACTION:  The flying device comes back, and fires a stunning beam at the Executive Officer, sending him in the air for a few feet before landing in a heap.

CEO McGregor says:
CO: Captain, it would appear that the Away Team has been attacked ...One officer injured and in sickbay at this time.

CMO Delar says:
CEO: I'll handle the situation personally, sir.   :: Goes and enters the turbolift. He taps his comm badge to have an officer meet him in transporter room one ::

FCO Lane says:
CMO: Doctor, you should have Trelan now.

CTO Wakefield @::fires at  device:: (PHASER2.wav)

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: What was that blimp on the sensors?

XO Kelson says:
@:: Arrgh! ::

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Status on the rest of the away team?  Who was injured?

Host Kris says:
ACTION:  As before, the flying device disappears almost immediately after firing.

CEO McGregor says:
CO: Coming in now sir.

CTO Wakefield says:
@Self:  #!&?!

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Get a lock on them and get them out of there.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Wasn't there long enough to get a positive identification.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Get the Away Team back the "V"

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Grabs up Sam ::  COMM: Vesuvius:  Emergency beam out...NOW!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Gets up quickly and heads out of her quarters towards sickbay ::

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Beaming the Away Team now sir...

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Away Teams under attack ma’am

FCO Lane ::beams the away team back:: (Trnsprtr.wav)

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: 2 down, I am beaming them out

CMO Delar says:
:: Enters sickbay and sees Trelan on the other side of the room. He takes a tricorder from a medic and lets them set up any equipment required. ::   CSO: Welcome to sickbay sir...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Materializes on transporter pad ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO*:  Get them back, now.

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Done sir

Host Kris says:
ACTION: The remaining members of the Away Team beam into Sickbay.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: In sickbay ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO*:  I'm enroute sickbay

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Away team is now in sickbay.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Picks up Sam and puts him on a biobed ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Give me shields Lass

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  Doc, the XO’s been hit too.

FCO Lane says:
:: Brings the shields online ::   CEO: Shields up sir.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stops at turbolift, and enters ::   Computer :  Deck 12

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Aye sir

CSO Trelan says:
:: Slowly revives, wondering where he is ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Gets a medic working on the CSO and goes over to the XO::    XO: Commander, how do you feel?   ::Begins minor scans::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits turbolift and heads towards sickbay ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Taps commbadge ::  *CO*:  Captain, this is Wakefield, we're back aboard.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters sickbay and stops for a moment ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Long Range Sensor scan

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sees CO ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Walks over to CO ::  CO:: Captain...

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Acknowledged

CMO Delar says:
:: Scrambles around, talking to his medics and checking their results ::    CSO/XO: You both took minor damage but should feel a bit of disorientation for the time being...

XO Kelson says:
:: Shakes self awake ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Dathan, what happened down there?

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: I want to know if anything even thinks of coming near this ship

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Like I just woke up from a night on Risa...

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  We were attacked by small flying machines, apparently automated or flown by remote.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  They just appeared, probably beamed in, fired, then beamed out again before we could fire...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Slightly shakes head ::   Self: Oh...That's gonna hurt for a while.

FCO Lane says:
:: Smiles at McGregor ::   CEO: So do I sir...

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Any idea where they came from?  Who operates them?

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  They hit the CSO first.  He was doing the scanning.

XO Kelson says:
CSO/CTO: Did we get any readings on those little buggers?

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Then they went after the XO.

CMO Delar says:
XO: You'll have that feeling for a few minutes if not more.   :: Places a small device on the base of the XO's cranium ::   XO: This should hopefully compensate for the loss of equilibrium...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes in a sharp breath at hearing Dru was hit, but remains composed ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Got me. I don't even know what happened!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Thanks, Doc.  Can I get back to work?

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Prepare a class 3 probe ...send it to the vicinity where the Away Team was and set the sensor to 1/2 second cycles

CMO Delar says:
XO: I'd like to keep you under observation for at least 20 minutes sir, to make sure that hit didn't do any more damage then we can detect immediately.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  They were fast little buggers, and small too, very hard to hit...

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Sir I'm sending a class 3 probe to the Away Teams surface location to see if we can get some idea who our visitors were

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Sir, picking up something on long range scanners. Getting reading from the planetoid...subterranean chambers...getting an energy reading now sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Grumbles ::   CMO: Alright, Doc.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Sits up on the biobed, still a little queasy ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* Thank you, Lance.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Transfer that data to the XO station

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Probe launched sir...sensors to ½ second cycles.

CMO Delar says:
XO: I apologize for any inconvenience, but I'm sure the Captain will agree that having a healthy staff is better then having a crew filled with half-healed officers...   ::Looks up at Royce ::   CO: Isn't that correct sir?

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Sir ...The Away Team ?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CEO: Confirmed. I think it's what is running that shielding system down there.

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: How’s the Away Team sir?

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Transferring data to Mr. Kelson.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Go to yellow alert

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* They appear to be just stunned, but I'm not sure.  Getting the lowdown from Dathan right now.

FCO Lane says:
:: Sends the data to Kelson's station ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: I have the utmost respect for you, Doc.  It doesn't mean I have to like it...  :: Smiles ::

FCO Lane CEO: Yellow alert sir. (Yellow Alert.wav)

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves over to Lon ::     CMO:  How are they?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to Dru ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: Lane has picked up something on Long Range Sensors

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* Aye sir

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stands, unsteadily, and tries to walk towards the door ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* What do you have?

FCO Lane says:
*Shipwide*: All: All stations, yellow alert status.

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles back ::    XO: If you'll excuse me...  :: Looks at the CO and CTO ::    CO: They took only minor damage, but I'd like if I could get an analysis of whatever hit them. If may help in discovering and future effects it could have on them...

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Is that thing on sensors coming at us?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to the CMO ::   CMO:  Whatever you can find would be helpful.

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* The devices on the planet appear to be security probes

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CEO: Scans are showing those flying devices everywhere. Like they are making security rounds.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* Security probes?  Do you know who may have sent them out?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Hears CEO's update ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* They have not as yet attacked the Probe

XO Kelson says:
CO: A shuttle would have more protection, Xen.  We could take a look with the Magma.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  If they are security probes, there may be a pattern...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over to Dathan ::   CTO:  If you don't need a check up, get up to the bridge

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* We are still collecting data sir will keep you informed

CMO Delar says:
CTO: If I could get an analysis immediately it would be very helpful sir...    CO: Now, if you'll excuse me ma'am, I'll continue with my patients...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods at Sam ::   XO:  Do it.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* Acknowledged, Lance

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Has it been 20 minutes yet, Doc?  Time's a wastin'!

FCO Lane says:
CEO: The devices are staying within the planetoid's gravity field.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods and moves towards sickbay's doors ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads for the bridge ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Status on that blimp on Long Range Sensors

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Checking sir.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Regaining his composure, heads out of sickbay ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits sickbay and heads for the bridge ::

CMO Delar says:
::Walks over to the XO and CSO::   XO: Sir, until I can analyze the exact damage done to your systems I don't want to run the risk of having you collapse in the middle of duty...

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Hold that turbolift!

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Alright...I'll wait.

CTO Wakefield says:
Computer: Hold!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
Computer:  Bridge.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Thanks....

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Welcome.

CMO Delar says:
XO: Thank you...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stops as he hears the doctor's report to the XO ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Runs another scan of the CSO::     CSO: How are you feeling sir?

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Did you discover anything else down there?

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: Still a little disoriented, but other than that, fine.

XO Kelson says:
:: Grabs a padd ::

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  Those scars appear to be from engine back blast.

CTO Wakefield says:
CO:  I think a massive liftoff, either an evacuation, in preparation for an assault, or in defense of an assault.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: That blip is no longer on my sensors sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Downloads info on security devices ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Stand down from yellow alert, but keep shields up

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Standing down from yellow alert.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Arrives at the bridge, exits turbolift ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Places a device similar to the one he gave the XO on Trelan’s neck::    CSO: This should offer some minor relief to your system.     XO/CSO: You both took shocks to your system and I can't predict any permanent damage at this time...unless you can offer any information you discovered on whatever hit you...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Enters bridge ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Runs possibilities of a shuttle getting through the security perimeter ::

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* We found some underground chambers on the surface

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Never saw it coming, Doc.

FCO Lane says:
*Shipwide*: All: All personnel stand down from yellow alert.

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: If I know my science team, they are working on it as we speak.

CTO Wakefield says:
