Deep Space 102 - 10708.31

"Comm-Stat"

Previously on DS102:

The crew on the Scorpius had isolated a location on a planet where an Avatar ship has landed.  An Away Team has deployed to learn what it can.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::surveys the Avatar ship from a distance.::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::on the bridge monitoring the AT's progress::

CNS_Rand says:
@::watches the activity around the Avatar ship::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CO*: We have arrived to the landing site. The team is monitoring their activity.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: At the tactical station, monitoring the away team progress ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: keep an eye on other incoming ships ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS/CEO: Well, I am all ears... Any suggestions on how we introduce ourselves... :smirks:

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO/CNS: Now seriously, let's evaluate the whole situation before making our next move.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Whenever you say that phrase, sir, I want to chuckle.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO:  Anything to report, Commander?

CNS_Rand says:
@SC: With their aggressive behavior when we met them in space, I suggest caution.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: But to answer your question, sir, I think we should wait until we get an idea what their strengths, weaknesses and everything else are.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS/CEO: Acknowledged.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Can you do an specific scan? I want to know the exact amount of troops they have aboard.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Leaders lord over their subordinates, making certain that Avatar ship business is taken care of, and that reparis are being made...

CNS_Rand says:
@SC/CEO: Perhaps we should move to a better vantage point so that we could gather that information.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS: Such as?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: I can but we risk to be detected doing so

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I do not recommend active scans of the ship captain

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Agreed.  But we might get away with passive scans ...

CNS_Rand says:
@SC: We could keep under cover of those trees to the east of their ship.  It should put us closer so that we could get a better view of what their doing without revealing our presence.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Not for a scan of the inside of the ship

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Unless the crew of that ship emit radiation or high energy photons.........

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS: Uhmm... :glances at that position:: Granted. CEO: Be sure to emit a covering signal with your tricorder. I do not want their surveillance to catch us out here.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Are they?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Understood. We will continue with our tricorder scannings.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS/CEO: Let's move

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Aye, sir.  ::emits cover::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Guards like the captured pilot stand idly by, watching the "leaders" drive their subordinates in repairs to the hull...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: glance at the science console ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS/CEO: Don't you dare to step on a dry branch... :smirks:

CNS_Rand says:
@::nods:: SC: Understood

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Yes, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I am not picking up anything on passive scans, just a low background from the ship power core

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::nods::

CNS_Rand says:
@::tries to get a sense of the Avatar moods::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  So, we need to get internal scans of that ship without the Avatars knowing about it ...

CNS_Rand says:
@::glances at Marek:: SC: I'm sensing a heightened feeling of boredom from the perimeter guards.  

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS: Well, I would be bored if I were on a guard shift right now, in the middle of nowhere... Now, I think we can explode that to reach a little closer to the ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, don't you think?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: I am getting contradictory results on my tricorder. Can not establish the total amount and type of their weaponry.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Maybe I am thinking what you are thinking, don't you think?

CNS_Rand says:
@CEO: That we move closer, you mean?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: I think it's due to the cover you had me set up from my tricorder.  It's not only interfering their sensors, it's doing so to ours.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: That will be tricky

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: I see... Compensating then. ::taps on his tricorder::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@;;Thinks:: I am getting older...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Indeed.  Any ideas on how we can do that?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I can guess that their advanced technology can detect many kinds of scans

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  What about the Avatar ship we have in the Cargo Bay?  Would it's sensors help us?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I could modify a handheld scanner to use a very low energy scan but it would need to be used a closed proximity, they will have to get inside the ship and walk all over it to get any usefull results

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  And more than likely get caught doing it ...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Anything that ship uses the ship down there can detect

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Unless we can make certain their own sensors are offline

CNS_Rand says:
@::moves slowly forward watching the activity around the ship, wondering how many Avatars are still inside::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Or ... we cause the right kind of interference ...

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Battle damage to the Avatar Vessel is extensive, and is getting fixed very slowly...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Or we get the team to assemble a few emitters on the surface.....

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  That might work.  Contact Captain Marek and make the suggestion.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: With three emitters placed at different locations around the ship they could send the detection signal we would then record on passive sensors, the worst thing that could happen, they detect the emitters and destroy them

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Captain, we might have a way to scan the Avatar ship

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Go ahead, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: You will need to assemble at least three emitters at different locations around the ship

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::listens carefully to the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: They will need to be at different elevations too, I'll make a list of potential sites, you will be able to select those you can access

CNS_Rand says:
@::walks a little closer, keeping within the cover of the trees, quietly observing the Avatars::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Very well, beam down those emitters at these coordinates, and send the posible allocations list to my tricorder.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: send a list of the ten best locations to set up the emitters, some being uphills ::

CNS_Rand says:
@::glances back at the others briefly, then returns her attention back to the Avatars::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: The material isn't heavy but will need assembly once on location, the instructions have been sent with the locations

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Acknowledged.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: send instruction to engineering to have the emitters beamed down ::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: If you are up to setting more than three call back and well send more

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS/CEO: I think we will have to split to install those emitters. Each one of us will install one... Now, let's analyse this possible allocations

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Understood.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: I think the best three are here, here and here... ::points at three locations::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO/CNS: Yeap... I think the second one should be 10 meters more to the south... Yes, that will work. Nevertheless, I think we should later install a couple more.. Well, let's proceed

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Aye sir.  ::goes to the first location he pointed out::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CNS: Proceed to this location. Be very careful.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CO/XO*: Proceeding to install the emitters. We will contact you back when they are in position.

CNS_Rand says:
@::nods:: SC: Understood  ::gets ready to move to the ordered location::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Acknowledged.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO/CNS: Keep the cover signal on your tricorders active.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::proceed to the third location::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::arrives at the location to install the emitter, and begins to assemble it::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::crouches and begin struggling with the emitters:: Self: SF Engineers, why do they have to design everything so complicated? ::still struggling with the mounting::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*SC*: Emitter assembled and ready for activation.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CEO*: Understood, give ten seconds here, and I wil be done.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CNS*: Counsellor?

CNS_Rand says:
@::kneals down and begins working with the emitter...thinking that she should have paid more attention during her engineering practicals::

CNS_Rand says:
@::makes the final adjustment:: *SC*: The emitter is ready, Captain.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::finishes:: *CEO*: Remember to contact SF Engineering to make a couple of suggestions...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CNS/CEO*: Mine is ready too. Let's activate them

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Avatar repairs continue slowly under the frenzied supervisors and driven laborers...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*SC*: Sir, didn't your parents ever tell you that you have to be smarter than the equipment?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CO/XO*: Activating emitters now.

CNS_Rand says:
@*SC* Readay on your order...::activates the emitter as she hears the Captain::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::activates his emitter::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CEO*: The equipment is not smart... That is an illogical assumption... ;raises an eyebrow::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*SC*: It's just an old expression.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::checks to see if the emitters are working::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: setting the recorders on for passive mode ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Anything yet?
