  1. Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders. Admiral BluRox heads up an away team consisting the senior staff members (aka – all active players except Kwai) to explore these unusual caverns via a specially designed transportation craft. One minor glitch has been discovered however. When exposed to the heat and humidity inside the cavern’s entrance, combined with the medication all ready administered, our poor group of “green” girls are suffering from some unfortunate dermatological issues. We can only hope that this too will fade over time.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Just our luck, isn't it* (boy I can't type tonight) Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> Welcome aboard our vehicle today. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> We asked that you keep your seatbelt on at all times when the vehicle is in transit.” August Jax Robinson -> ::Snaps seat belt:: Dr Tisa Sen -> ::shakes her head that she can't believe the side effect that the drug gave them:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::turns her PADD to shuttle mode:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::seat belt on:: Jameson Bardolph -> ::settling back in his seat; snaps seat belt into place:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::already fastened her safety belt:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child, or someone acting like a child, traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child pick your favorite. Christina_Nickles -> ::: sitting in a shuttle looking at the back of her hands thinking she should maybe just go back to the Republic and forget Shoreleave:: STSF_BluRox -> ::thinking about the 'someone acting like a child' statement...thinking she's on a shuttle full of those:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 3 ways out of this shuttle. There are exits in the aft compartment, and to the port and starboard sides of the vehicle lit by emergency lighting. If you can’t find the emergency lighting, I’m sorry to say you’re going to die... ::deadpans:: Tory Knight -> ::looks to Barcode:: I like this guy. ::smirks:: Jameson Bardolph -> ((someone's been reading my parent's humorous emails folder from 1999 :P )) STSF_BluRox -> ::thinks that Smith is wrong, if Robinson has a grenade, there is another way out...though the bulkhead:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::rimshot:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> While this vehicle is equipped with 24 hour emergency life support, we should be prepared for an emergency evacuation. Emergency cooling packs are available under your seats that should provide you with 2 hours of comfort in the harsh unforgiving environment of the cavern. If in the case of an emergency evacuation, please pull down on the red tab, yank out the cooling vest and air mask and take it along with our compliments. Oh and please pray that a relief vehicle is coming very soon. Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at Christina :: It will be fine.. :: smiles :: STSF_BluRox -> (someone's still on Southwest Airlines joke page) Dr Tisa Sen -> Why does this make me worry? Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Thanks again for joining us. We hope you will enjoy our trip through the Icelea Grotto. I'll be around the cabin shortly with refreshments. Jameson Bardolph -> Tory> (m) Me too. ::grins:: Frustrated standup artist. Ayumu Kasuga -> Well, I'm already starting to melt here. Why prolong it? STSF_BluRox -> Seriously Tisa...why are they turning....splotchy? Christina_Nickles -> :: looks to Heather:: I knew I should have just stayed on the ship. Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION> THE CABIN PRESSURE CHANGES TO A BALMY 74 DEGREES. EVERYONE CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE START TO MOVE. STSF_BluRox -> (omg...academy fail..) Dr Tisa Sen -> The only thing I can think of is with the fading, that the dye particles are separating before they are going to be reviewed August Jax Robinson -> ::Leans over to Blu:: (w) It's it So funny though Dr Tisa Sen -> reabsorbed Christina_Nickles -> :;to Heather:: to late to go back now I guess Heather Jamieson -> :: Laughs as Kasuga's statement :: Yes, I think so.. Ayumu Kasuga -> Here we go.Might as well make the best of it.. We should be able to turn on our electronics again soon, I think STSF_BluRox -> ::Looking around to see if their guide could tell them a bit more about this grotto:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ((You do realize you'll be traveling further under the planet's underground?)) Jameson Bardolph -> ::pointedly ignoring the drama of the skin colors going on the other side of the cabin; peers out the window:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> The Icelea Grotto is rather an interesting geological formation. STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Bardolph sees rock Tory Knight -> ::thinking the dwama with the skin dye is amusing, but will resolve itself...eventually:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::hopes Tory is right:: STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Gravois:: How so? Can you please elaborate? Dr Tisa Sen -> I won't know much more without running tests Jameson Bardolph -> ::enjoys the rock view:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>A FEW MOMENTS INTO THE TRIP THE WALLS OF THE CAVERNS STARTS TO CHANGE FROM TRADITIONAL ROCK TO A CRYSTALIZED FORMATIONS. Jameson Bardolph -> ::also enjoys the crystals:: Ayumu Kasuga -> Ooooo Christina_Nickles -> :: looks out the window:: Look at the crystals.. Is it like this the rest of the way to the cavern? August Jax Robinson -> ::Nudges Will Awake::: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::snorts:: Wha? Jameson Bardolph -> Well, that's a pretty sight and no mistake. ::drawls:: Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> Instead of the traditional rock formations, the formations within the caverns large crystal rocks. Some as clear as ice. Others sparkling like diamonds. Tory Knight -> ::looking out the window, watching as the rocks go to crystallized formation:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Looking all around at the crystals :: Tory Knight -> Mm. Geology can be a very fascinating science. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looking around at the crystal formations as well:: Jameson Bardolph -> One of your specialties? August Jax Robinson -> Wow... LtCdrJohnson -> ::scanning the formations:: Tory Knight -> A hobby. I used to collect unusual specimens as a child. It eventually gave way to more... interesting pursuits. LtCdrJohnson -> ::seeing if he can detect anything unusual or a natural engineering property:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::taking some pictures with her holo-cam:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE VIEW OUT THE WINDOW CHANGES. THE FLOOR OF THE CAVE IS COVERED WITH PERFECTLY-FACETED CRYSTALLINE BLOCKS. HUGE CRYSTAL BEAMS JUST JUT OUT FROM THE WALLS, ROOF AND THE FLOOR. Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Realizes she should have brought her halo camera:: STSF_BluRox -> Do you employ some type of lighting scheme to help enhance the illuminary qualities of the crystals? August Jax Robinson -> ::Nudges Will:: this is so pretty Ayumu Kasuga -> :more pictures, snapping away at the cave floor:: STSF_BluRox -> (someone's been in the medicinal still I see) LtCmdrRobinson -> It is...something Capt Rian Kwai -> Jones> Ladies and gentlemen, this is Engineer Jones speaking. Welcome to Icelea Grotto tours. The caverns conditions ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful trip. Now sit back and relax - OH, MY GOD! Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Could do some really interesting shots;; Jameson Bardolph -> Right...makin' shiny tech for the whole galaxy. ::grins cheerfully:: Wonder if they'll let us take any souvenirs away. Jameson Bardolph -> ::head snaps up at the sudden yelp from the intercom:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks up at Jones:: Tory Knight -> ::looks up at the 1MC, then looks to Bardolph:: That's never a good sign. Dr Tisa Sen -> ::looks up suddenly:: STSF_BluRox -> ::looks up at the OMG!:: LtCdrJohnson -> ::shoots Will a look:: "I knew I had a bad feeling about this" Jameson Bardolph -> Rarely, anyway. ::dryly, but eyes narrowed with sudden tension:: Christina_Nickles -> ::looks up hearing the exclamatory:: Ut oh LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: I am scanning from where the OMG came from ::scans:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Jumps and grabs Christina's arm :: STSF_BluRox -> (what the !?) Dr Tisa Sen -> ((its contagious)) STSF_BluRox -> (are you people typing with your elbows tonight?) Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Meanwhile in the back of the ship.......)) STSF_BluRox -> (ok, I've had several people note that the Robinson's are being too quiet...Now I'm afraid too look back behind that last row of seats) LtCdrJohnson -> ((don't tell me they're having ANOTHER kid)) LtCmdrRobinson -> (mind your business about the back seats) Capt Rian Kwai -> Jones> Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier; but, while I was talking, Smith brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. Tory Knight -> (( That's not privacy glass, ya know. We're all gonna be scarred... )) STSF_BluRox -> (this is a PG rated sim mister...just you be careful what you two are doing with those chocolates!) Ayumu Kasuga -> Ouch. Christina_Nickles -> :: sighs a sigh of relief:: Tory Knight -> ::arches a brow, still a bit skeptical:: Jameson Bardolph -> ::hearing Jones's explanation, facepams dramatically:: Ayumu Kasuga -> (Had that happened to me in RL once ... not a pleasant experience let me tell you) LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: I'm not detecting any unusual lifeforms or any weapon discharges...so I think we're in the clear.. Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Wonders if he needs medical attention:: STSF_BluRox -> Thank you Dave... August Jax Robinson -> ::in the back seat -.0 August Jax Robinson -> >.o STSF_BluRox -> ::really hopes Tisa isnt' going to check out this guy's lap...what a cheap pick up line!) Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Feels sorry for the guy. The hot temps won't help his lap much, she recons:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Continues taking pictures:: August Jax Robinson -> ::Whispers to Will:: STSF_BluRox -> (luckily for Smith, he's an alien, and his lap...is a safe spot for him!)

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'll have a cola STSF_BluRox -> ::has a sudden urge to spend some time donning desert gear and a cloak:: Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Wonders if this is the one who dropped the hot coffee:: I'll pass Jameson Bardolph -> Nothing for me, thanks. Heather Jamieson -> :: waves :: I could use some coffee, if that's not in bad taste Jameson Bardolph -> 'less you've got a cold beer on tap. Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Well, I didn't drain it from Jones’s pants if that's what you mean, Miss. Dr Tisa Sen -> ((LOL I thought that said cold beer on lap)) STSF_BluRox -> ::turns and looks at Dave:: Have you been in many caves:: STSF_BluRox -> (me too) Ayumu Kasuga -> (probably better than hot coffee) Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::hands Nickles & Kasuga their drinks, starts working on the coffee that was requested:: LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: Not really, we didn't have many where I came from Ayumu Kasuga -> Thanks. ::pops the tab and takes a drink:: Dr Tisa Sen -> ::looks out the window at the scenery:: Christina_Nickles -> :: takes the drink and sips it:: Thank you LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: Julie has taken me to one or two as there are several up in New Hampshire STSF_BluRox -> We've had a few missions, I try to stay out of them usually damp, and wet....and full of nasty things.....like mutated crab crew LtCmdrRobinson -> ::has a flash back:: Dr Tisa Sen -> ::As she is looking, she is almost hoping that the color separation stays long enough for them to get back to the ship to get some samples:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Smiles :: Thanks :: regarding the coffee :: Ayumu Kasuga -> Kind of makes me feel better about these splotches on my face hearing that ::to Jamieson:: August Jax Robinson -> I remember the crabs ::Smirks at Will:: LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BluRox:: And the deposits in the rock will often time block scanners and transporters, making it hard to know what's around or get people out in a pinch Ayumu Kasuga -> ::overhears Blu"" LtCmdrRobinson -> ::remembers peeing on people:: Jameson Bardolph -> ::lounges back in his seat, letting his eyes drift half-closed, listening to the conversation:: STSF_BluRox -> I’m sure that if this is a vacation spot, that they will have had some sort of safety inspections in place...at least Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> ::to the crew:: The Grotto is on an ancient fault and there is an underground magma chamber below the cave. The magma heated the ground water and it became saturated with minerals, including large quantities of gypsum. The hollow space of the cave was filled with this mineral-rich hot water and remained filled for about 500,000 years. During this time, the temperature of the water remained very stable at over 50 °C. This allowed crystals to form and grow to immense sizes. STSF_BluRox -> I hope our security teams made sure that they did. ::turns to look at the large contingent of security officers:: Jameson Bardolph -> ((you missed the drink cart :P )) Ayumu Kasuga -> ::snaps a nice picture of one particular large crystal:: STSF_BluRox -> Will? LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: Why isn't it filled now? Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE FURTHER IN THE CAVES THEY GO, THE BIGGER THE CRYSTALS GET. SOME RESEMBLING MASSIVE DIAMONDS, WHILE OTHERS RESEMBLE SALTY TOWERS. LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: Where did all the water go exactly?::scans the larger of the crystals:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks at the Admiral:: Yes ma'am? Heather Jamieson -> :: Any of those crystals would look great in her quarters :: Jameson Bardolph -> What're they worth? ::to Gravois, idly curious, without opening his eyes fully:: Capt Rian Kwai -> We think a volcanic eruption on the other side of the island affected the water table, causing the grotto caverns to drain. STSF_BluRox -> Did security check with the Risan's about the safety of the Grotto and any evacuation procedures? Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> Oh, they're priceless to us. ::looking out the window admiring the view:: Dr Tisa Sen -> What a steamy subject LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: You're telling me there is an active volcano on the other side of this cave? Christina_Nickles -> :: looks from Blu to Will thinking I didn’t.. I wasn’t planning on being here:: Jameson Bardolph -> ::hearing Tisa, snorts:: STSF_BluRox -> Probably to the surface for one of those fancy water parks they have up there! Jameson Bardolph -> ::and rolls his eyes at Gravois's response:: Of course, I have no doubt. Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>What's fascinating is that we haven't found any organic material imbedded into the crystals at all. STSF_BluRox -> ::thinking this was the Risan's way to get rid of us one way or another, if we won't go away, get us to agree to go into an active volcano? and we fell for this?:: LtCmdrRobinson -> No ma'am, I wasn’t made aware of the exact nature of the visit until we arrived. Christina_Nickles -> ::pipes up:: So the crystals are totally made from the natural collecting of the minerals in the waters? August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at Will:: isn't it your Job to know this crap?! STSF_BluRox -> When we get there, how about you take a look into that for us. Talk to their head security for the area. Tory Knight -> (( we wouldn't have a story, otherwise... )) Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> So it would appear. Ayumu Kasuga -> Ahh. Interesting. LtCdrJohnson -> ::raises an eyebrow at the idea of how the crystals were formed:: Jameson Bardolph -> That make 'em particularly useful or something? Or just unique? LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods:: Yes ma'am LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: And this volcano...you monitor it...right? Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> Yes, yes. Of course we monitor it. But it's been inactive for hundreds of years. Christina_Nickles -> :: forgetting her color for now interested in the caves crystals:: Christina_Nickles -> :: takes another drink of her water:: LtCdrJohnson -> ::whispers to BluRox:: So was Vesuvius...and Krakatau... Christina_Nickles -> (w) Knowing our luck Now would be when It decides to go active again August Jax Robinson -> ::gives Will The Look:: STSF_BluRox -> My luck...a crystal will fall into it, and set it off.....Then again, I wouldn't have to worry about a retirement party at that rate.... LtCdrJohnson -> ((You could always roll the dice ;) )) Heather Jamieson -> :: Drinks her coffee... Mmmm :: Christina_Nickles -> (( I’m almost SURE that’s in the cards)) Capt Rian Kwai -> ((and then Kwai gets the ship all to herself. You've fallen for my evil trap)) Dr Tisa Sen -> ::looks in her med kit to see if there anything to take a tissue sample, still wanting some of the blue and yellow dots:: 4 STSF_BluRox -> ((Well, the problem is...I gave her...points to Kwai:: dice) LtCmdrRobinson -> ((Dave, rule #7 of this sim: DON’T MENTION THE DICE. EVER.)) STSF_BluRox -> (actually, at some point in time, I've given most of you dice) Jameson Bardolph -> (m to Tory) Very relaxed vacation group, neh? ::grins:: Christina_Nickles -> ((still have them.. found them the other day actually)) Tory Knight -> ::to Bardolph, quietly:: I get the impression this crew has come to expect the worst? LtCdrJohnson -> ((Will, I've been here for 7 years, trust me, I know the rule, but I just want the Admiral to have a little fun ;) )) Christina_Nickles -> (( ::points to Kwai:: Its her plot I think)) Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha)) LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: So...what do you use these crystals for, or are they just for viewing pleasure? Heather Jamieson -> :: Looking all around at the crystal formations, sipping her coffee :: STSF_BluRox -> (and plot, as in story...not.....hole in ground...that she has reserved for you) Jameson Bardolph -> Evidently. ::chuckles and hooks his hands behind his head:: For my part, I intend to relax. Tory Knight -> (( wait... )) STSF_BluRox -> (it's a giant burial pit) Capt Rian Kwai -> ((You just realize I stuck you in a hole in the ground, didn't you?)) Tory Knight -> ...which is why your jaw is still tense. ::wry grin:: STSF_BluRox -> (in a cavern in a canyon excavating for a mine......) Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> They are invaluable for scientific study of our planet. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::switches to video mode and takes some short shots at some of the prettier formations:: LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Gravois:: And what properties have you discovered that they possses? Jameson Bardolph -> Hmm. Will need to work on that. Clearly I need more practice lazing about. ::opens one eye and looks at her sidelong, amused:: Capt Rian Kwai -> ((::dramatic theme music starts playing as the dice are shaking the cup::)) Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE SHUTTLE SEEMS TO BE SLOWING DOWN. LtCmdrRobinson -> (2nd amendment, boss) LtCmdrRobinson -> (everyone loves that one) Christina_Nickles -> :: We must be coming to an observation spot. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::puts camera away, then feels the shuttle slow:: I guess so. ::to Nickels:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Wonders what's next ... :: Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE SHUTTLE COMES TO A STOP. STSF_BluRox -> I believe we are stopping Ayumu Kasuga -> Photo op? Christina_Nickles -> :: to Gravios:: Is this a viewing spot? Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>::frowns, glancing out the window then to the front of the shuttle:: No, we can't leave the shuttle. It's too dangerous. Christina_Nickles -> Why are we stopping then? Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois> I.........don't know. Ayumu Kasuga -> We run out of gas? Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~~PAUSE SIM~~~~ Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~~PAUSE SIM~~~~ Christina_Nickles -> ::paused:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused:: August Jax Robinson -> :::Paused::: Heather Jamieson -> Paused Capt Rian Kwai -> Someone gave me a new idea. ::rubs her hands together:: Tory Knight -> Oh, frell. Ayumu Kasuga -> Yay. STSF_BluRox -> Next week, as we now run out of power and begin falling right down into the center of the volcano.....we find that we only have one emergency transport out, and since this is not my ship, I do not have to go down with it, so I take the transport out Tory Knight -> ::mutters in Mandarin:: STSF_BluRox -> lol....... STSF_BluRox -> Good luck! STSF_BluRox -> Rank hath it's privileges....once in a rare while.....

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Snaps a few pictures:: Jameson Bardolph -> Not too bad. ::dryly, clearly impressed:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Breathes deeply :: Capt Rian Kwai -> Secretary Gravois>The grotto is a rare threat. Formed millions of years ago, inside this cliff side is a web of underground caverns with unusual crystallized formations. STSF_BluRox -> (besides being a big hole in the ground that is) STSF_BluRox -> A threat? Tory Knight -> ::smirks at Barcode, thinking his "impressed" is very...low key:: STSF_BluRox -> Are you afraid of it becoming a giant sinkhole? Capt Rian Kwai -> Secretary Gravois>Treat.

Special cooling packs are needed to traverse the caverns on foot, and even then most humanoids can only withstand temperatures for 10 minutes without proper protection.

STSF_BluRox -> (Sorry, drank the caffeinated tea tonight instead of the decaf!) Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods, listening to the Secretary wondering what color she'll be after the tour is over:: STSF_BluRox -> (green with blue and yellow spots) Heather Jamieson -> Christina.. keep it together.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::catches Tory's sidelong look and gives her one of his own, raising his eyebrows questioningly and grinning:: STSF_BluRox -> ::thinking that dress uniforms might not have been the best choice to wear for this trip for some of the crew:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::takes a few more pictures regardless:: Tory Knight -> ::quietly, to Bardolph:: Starting a new trend? Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>The shuttle is cooler than the cave temperature. Inside are several rows of seats similar to a tour bus, but with comfy cushions and more leg room. Ayumu Kasuga -> I see. Christina_Nickles -> :: gulps again and enters the shuttle to find a seat:: August Jax Robinson -> Well... the whole planet is warm, so ... not soooo much Jameson Bardolph -> ::almost laughs:: Tory> Just trying to avoid heat exhaustion.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Seats next to Aymum and coaxes Christina to follow :: STSF_BluRox -> ::joins them in the ship:: Christina_Nickles -> :: sits with the other green now spotted girls:: Jameson Bardolph -> ::stepping into the shuttle:: Ahh...better. Capt Rian Kwai -> Secretary Gravois> Considering most humanoids can barely tolerate the temperature for more than 10 minutes, no. STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Johnson:: Good timing, you made it back just in time for us to be allowed back on Risa again. ::smiles at him:: Jameson Bardolph -> Tory> Aye, will if it gets worse. Wasn't planning on just tossing the jacket. ::dryly:: Ayumu Kasuga -> At least it’s nice and cooler in here. Christina_Nickles -> ::whispers: I thought it was supposed to fade.. not turn spotted. I feel like a Dalmatian that someone tried to add color to with a marker. STSF_BluRox -> Ah, that's too bad, we have some thermal pools back on my homeworld, and they're always a treat. STSF_BluRox -> (ever see spin art? ) Ayumu Kasuga -> (W) Well.. I don't think Medical factored in high humidity environments into the formula. We'll have to see Dr Sen again once we head back. LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Blu:: Yeah...it was really worth it...wasn't it Christina_Nickles -> ((yep)) LtCdrJohnson -> ::climbs into the transport:: Tory Knight -> Perhaps they should develop a tropical dress uniform... a few less layers.

  4. Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known geological wonders. After a little jostling around, Admiral BluRox will be heading up an away team consisting the senior staff members (aka – all active players). The Republic Shuttle Piasa will have reached it’s docking port at the planet at the start of the sim to meet up with Ambassador Imen and his team.
  5. Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known geological wonders. Admiral BluRox will be heading up an away team consisting of the Robinsons (Will & Jax), Bardolph, Knight & Kasuga. Another member of the team will be selected before departure.

  6. Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known geological wonders. Admiral BluRox will be heading up an away team consisting of the Robinsons (Will & Jax), Bardolph, Knight & Kasuga. Another member of the team will be selected before departure. Meanwhile on Republic, those remaining will have other assignments, including extra holodeck practice for future away missions.

STSF_BluRox -> Anyway, back to Dave, the Admiral had informed us of the potential for the weapons auction, and he had one of his own make a sensor sweep, and confirm the weapons, and when the time came, he'd assist us by taking a shuttle down so we did not just that, with a bit of a delay..

Both myself and our chief engineer. We concurred that it would be ill-advised to attempt a disarm on the planet. The device had a number of failsafes. LtCmdrRobinson -> We managed to get it a safe distance away from the planet before it was detonated. LtCmdrRobinson -> This was the only available safe method we had at our disposal that wouldnt risk a body count on your planet. Heather Jamieson -> :: Raises a hand :: I piloted one of our shuttles to assist in removal of the weapon as backup and brought more of our crew down to help.

And it's high enough in the atomospher to cause no long term affects. Heather Jamieson -> :: Sees Ayumu's glance, she did not tell her that she piloted a shuttle :: LtCmdrRobinson -> As you well know, there is already a large amount of radiation in space as it is. This radioactivity will disperse on its on very quickly. Jameson Bardolph -> ::stirs thoughtfully in his chair and then speaks up to add:: We were also able to disable a launch facility hidden in the {{name of resort complex}}. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::hm, always nice to have more shuttle pilots:: LtCmdrRobinson -> It was only a danger to the ships nearest to the explosion at the time, which was just the Republic. Jameson Bardolph -> *launch control facility Heather Jamieson -> To add about the radiation danger, if the explosion has occurred in the atmosphere, along with those killed instantly, much of the continent would have to be evacuated.

That is the nature of Deep Cover operations. Those involved were only told what was necessary to maintain their cover and assist in the mission.

Christina_Nickles -> :: eyes get wide at Augusts comment :: Jameson Bardolph -> ::happily sinking back into his seat, glad he was not involved in this particular decision:: STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Prime Minister, I think we're digressing. As you can see, it's as I told you, we received orders to try to come save your planet from a major disaster, one that could have ruined a major portion of your eastern continent...as it was, we were able to do so, with minimal loss of life, stopped the guilty from doing their act, saved our own ship, and very, very few people even realize what went on. Capt Rian Kwai -> Most of the tourist in the area assumed it was part of the nightly light show.

  14. STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51301.21 Aftermath...... As it was getting to be later in the evening, messages were going out to the various planetary and government representatives on Risa, but fortunately as the explosion took place in space rather than on the planet, those that might have still been awake and outside at the time, and happened to have been looking up, might have seen a swift, bright flash, and put it off to no more than a shooting star. However, the truth was being spread to the powers that be and they wanted answers. Fortunately, most of the crew had already made it back to the Republic, and those that hadn't yet, had received a call to stand by for transport until the details of what had just happened, could be worked out.

Currently a laser light show is underway, which some hope, the show will hide the fact that they are demonstrating weapons and hide the flashes of light and noise into the sounds of the show. the remaining few away teams, having received messages to attend an auction that day, and purchase an item and return to the bar with it later that evening, our shipmates have been busy, and yet, maintaining themselves as something they are not, have totally fooled the auction sellers, that they are smugglers or weapons traders here to take part in the sale, as they totally do not look like tourists.

  20. STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing Season 21 - 512.12.03 Messages have been sent to the groups on the planet to have them each attend an auction and purchase a certain object which will lead them to their next clue. Several different auctions have been found and some of those on planet have been buying alot of different objects. However, a more serious auction has been noted to a few specific groups based upon their actions and movements, as it’s been assumed, that they are the ones that have been secretly ‘invited’. After a priority one message from Admiral Calvert, Blu has deemed it necessary to grab a few of the ‘green recruits’ (literally green), and head towards Risa herself, also undercover to follow up on new mission orders that are of the utmost importance.

  22. Capt Rian Kwai -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51211.19 - HAPPY 21st to the Republic! Where else would the crew be when we turned 21?! Risa of course! How could we not be!. Most of the senior staff are on Risa under the pretext of a covert training mission, where they are to maintain their cover, not expose themselves to being exposed for whom they are, and wait for their next clue as to what to do. Meanwhile, there seems to be a bit of a dark element slipping into the very resort where they are staying, which only promises to create havoc unlike any we’ve hit before. Not only are the Republic crew on Risa, but several other Fleet intelligence officers, both official and nonofficial.

  24. STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51211.05 As the away teams have now reached their destination (the Planet Risa), as determined by the clues they had all found; and have all determined that their clues have lead them to check into the establishment called the Mythical Pleasure Dome and Bar. As they checked in, they found that they each had been booked into an all expenses paid package at the resort and given a room key and a code to their room safe. In the room safe, was the message to wait until they were approached with more instructions, but that in the meantime, they were to establish their cover as vacationing tourists.....albeit, tourist trying to keep a low profile and not be noticed.
