[sTSF_Laura] === /\ === MISSION BRIEFING === /\ ===

[sTSF_Laura] The USS Venture (Galaxy class) has found an abandoned freighter. It does not appear to be damaged, infected, or show any other reason for abandonment.

[sTSF_Laura] We are engaged in an investigative and salvage operation.

[sTSF_Laura] === /\ === BEGIN SIM === /\ ===

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>::at TAC station monitoring shields::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Csec>reporting in

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::at the helm::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::In engineering checking the warp core pressure and reading over the mission brief::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC><ASEC> I'm here, cadet.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::walks into security office:: <CSEC> Orders, sir?

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::on the bridge, presumably being the XO::

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Down in the bowls of the ship, admiring the pretty lights on the warp core. ::

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> ::on the bridge, frowning at the freighter floating in front of them::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::looks over at the AENG::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> +CO+ Captain, how big of a security detail do you believe is needed.

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC><ASEC> Just a moment . . . ::bites lip::

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> Mr. Quelsar, are all departments (two) ready for the operation?

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><XO>Sir, my scans of the vessel show no damage and no distress beacon has been activated.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec>oops sorry

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Looks over ath the chief. :: Sir?

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Do we have the specs for that freighter, I suspect I am going to be going over there to check out the damage

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>+Department Heads+ Please report your status

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC><ASEC> I believe we should all go, but this is pending the captain's approval. In the meantime, go ahead and equip yourselves. ::taps a button and a door slides open::

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Blinks :: Do you know the class? :: Heads for a computer console. ::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> +HOPS+ Currently preparing for the investigation, sir. Is a full security detail needed?

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> <CSEC> Aye, sir. ::walks out of office, heads for the TL::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>+<OPS>+ Engineering reporting in, will you be needing any Engineering personel to go over and inspect the damage?

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> <TAC> Interesting indeed. I wonder why it is abandoned.

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><HOPS> All shields and weapons are functioning correctly.

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Logs in... tries to get a visual on the freighter, and has the computer try to identify it. ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><XO>Security is wondering if a full security detail will be needed, sir.

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Looks for names and numbers on the side of the hull. ::

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> The frieghter appears to be the Smarg's Delight, Kobalian registry.

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::looks at Laura::: I would think that might be a good idea.

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> ::hums to himself while waiting::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::looks at recycle:: <ASEC> Are you coming?

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><XO>And engineering would like to know if they should acompany the team, as well, sir

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::as he waits for further orders he continues looking over the warp core pressure levels::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::taps a few panels and records some data on a padd::

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> <CO> Full security and engineering detail, Sir?

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> <XO> <HOPS> Agreed. Until we know why that thing's abandoned, I want all possible precautions taken.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>understood grabs some gear coming

[Joy_12] <AENG> She seems to be a Darilik class freighter, Smarg's Delight, out of Kobal.

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::nods:: Make it so, Mr. Quelsar.

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Smargs Delight..is that a ship or a food dish ::chuckles::

[sTSF_Shadow] <Lords of Kobal, protect us>

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::enters TL:: Weapons locker one. ::taps foot impatiantly::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC><ASEC> Good. Don't overdo it, though. I don't believe we should encounter anything overly hostile . . .

[Joy_12] <AENG> <CENG> Fairly basic. Drives cruise at warp 3. Not terran drives, but a fairly traditional design.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>What we doing..

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Please download the specs onto a padd so I will have something to go by

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>+CSEC++CECG+Yes, on both counts

[Joy_12] <AENG> <CENG> Ship. Might be a food dish as well.

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>+<HOPS>+ Acknoweleged

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC><ASEC2> Give it a momwent, cadet. I'm waiting to hear from ::is interrupted by the comm:: - well, nevermind. All of us are going in any event. Go ahead and arm yourselves as previously instructed, and then we will meet up.

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> <HOPS> Notify Starfleet. We may need some backup on this, though at the moment I can't imagine why. Just a gut feeling.

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Grabs a pair of pads, one for the chief, one for herself, and downloads the specs twice. ::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> +HOPS+ Understood, sir. Where should we meet up? Will there be a preliminary briefing?

[Joy_12] <AENG> <CENG> Here you go, Chief. :: Offering one of the Padds. ::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>understood gets gear heads out..

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Alright everything looks good here so I'd like you to join me on the Engineering detail ::takes the padd::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::exits TL, and enters the weapons locker::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::grabs an Engineering Kit <AENG> Grab a kit and lets head out

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><XO>Aye sir. ::checks her console:: Security is wondering when and where to meet, sir

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> <HOPS> Briefing will take place in TR one. ::stands:: Shall I lead the team, Captain?

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>::looks up data on kobalian ships::

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Smiles :: <CENG> Is that allowed? I though engineering serfs needed to get 10 years of good behavior before they are allowed to see daylight?

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> <XO> Make it so

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::does a Picard tug on his uniform::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::grabs phaser, begins gathering standard away team gear::

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Grabs a kit an starts following. ::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>makes sure have phaser knife,granade,commucator::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> The ship is heavily damaged ::exits engineering and walks towards a TL::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::sends a message to star fleat requesting that backup be standing by::

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> <TAC> Mr. Flores, keep a lock on us at all times. I have a bad feeling about this.

[sTSF_Shadow] ::cues scary music::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><XO> Yes Sir

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Moving with Jonson. ::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> But we'll have to wait for orders to see exactly what we're going to be doing

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::exits the bridge:: TR one.

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::enters a TL and holds the door open for the AENG::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> ::uses the TL and enters the weapons lockers as well, begins to get ready.::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>:: maintains a constant lock on the ATs lifesigns::

[Joy_12] <AENG> :: Slides in ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>+CSEC+you will be briefed in tr1

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::snaps his fingers:: +TAC+ How is the life support over there?

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> ::sees ASEC2 readying:: Grenades shouldn't be needed, I assure you.

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::closes the door:: TR1

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> ::notices CSEC enter:: <CSEC> Well sir, I'm ready, where are we meeting?

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::can't believe he forgot that small technicality:::

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> +HOPS+ Thank you. <ASEC,ASEC2> We need to make our way to TR1 where we will be briefed. Let's get there now.

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><XO> Sir my scans show that life support is functioning correctly on all decks.

[Ensign_Contagion] <CSEC> ::picks up a phaser and exits the room into a TL:: Transporter Room One

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::sigh of relief:: +TAC+ Very well.

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::exits on TR level::looks around for the team:::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Lets see...we have a hyperspanner, tricorders, and a few more items...we should be fine

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <ASEC> <CSEC> Yes sir, ready when you are. ::follows CSEC into TL::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Asec>understood right behind you...

[sTSF_Shadow] <Away team use @ please>

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::exits the TL and strolls towards TR1::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG><AENG> Oh and we have to put on our @

[sTSF_Shadow] <XO> ::picks up a phaser, just in case:::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <CENG>::as he enters the TR he takes out a @ and slaps it on::

[Joy_12] <AENG> <CENG> Do you know if her power reserves are still active? We might want to bring over an auxilary generator.

[Ensign_Contagion] @ ::enters the TR, holsters phaser::

[sTSF_Laura] <<hey, folks, if I don't answer you, PM me -- my chat is stop-and-go but my PMs seem to still be working real-time>>

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> We don't know the extent of the engineering damage but that might be prompt for later

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::takes a moment to scan for a decent beam-in location and sends the co-ordinates to tr1::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::looks around at the rest of the team::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::follows Contagion into Tr1::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC> Alright men, until the briefing we wait here.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Still moving with her chief ::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><CSEC> How are you doing today Chief?

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>follows in tr1

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::turns to see everyone enter:: Chief Johnson, your team ready?

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Tries to look ready ::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><XO> Aye sir, we have our engineering kits

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> Chief Contagion, ready to check this baby out?

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> You bet I am! ::nods::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <ALL> ::looks around:: Ok, here is the situation, and frankly it has me a little spooked....

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><XO> Just to make sure, I brought you a phaser - that is, unless you already brought one.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>ready when you are..

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <CSEC> Thank you, I picked one up.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::senses big trouble, from the way the XO is talking::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Wonders if she should get a phaser too. If at first the fusion generator won't start... ::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> Anyone else need one?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::listening attentively to the XO::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <ALL> The ship is abandoned, but we have no idea why. There is no evidence of structural or other damage, no evidence of pirates, no evidence of anything having gone awry.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <<um, I gotta go for a couple of minutes, I'll be back>>

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><CSEC> I will take one Chief...just in case

[Ensign_Contagion] << That's okay, I'll cover for you if need be. Promise not to kill you off. >>

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: TImidly raises hand at the offer of a phaser ::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::just realized he is waxing poetic::grins:: <ALL> Anyway, we need to check it out and get it moving. Questions?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><XO> If we find any internal damage like to their engineering systems should we attempt to make repairs?

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <CENG> Affirmative.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>ready when you need me..

Ens_Quelsar has left the chat.

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::steps on padd:: <ALL> If there are no other questions, let's get a move on.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::steps up on the padd::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> +TAC+ Team ready to transport. Try not to put us inside a bulkhead. It gets awfully messy.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Pauses for her chief, then steps on the pad, without phaser. ::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::takes a dramatic pose:::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::steps on pad::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>+<XO> Aye Sir Prepare for transport:: Transports AT to the freighter::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>go behind steps on

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Wonders if there will be a GNN crew filming the exec's arrival. ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::sets up a transporter lock on the awayteam, should emergency beam out be requied::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::shimmers:::reappears on the freighter:::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Shimmers ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::glances back at Tactical:: <TAC>Any idea what they'll find over there?

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><AT> Has everybody reahced the correct coordinates safely?

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::shimmers::

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> Everything on the frieghter seems to be normal... if eerily silent. And empty. The bright consoles are almost frighteningly cheerful.

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> :::looks around::: +TAC+ That's affirmative.

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><HOPS> Im not sure but this has scary holonovel written all over it.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <<back>> @<ASEC> ::shimmers in, readies phaser::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Pulls out tricorder... picks up a decent amount of power in the reserve. ::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> Chief Contagion, take point with your team. Keep us covered, just in case.

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>+<XO> Aye Sir I will keep a close eye on the AT.

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><XO> Understood. <ASEC> You heard 'im.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>::lands off side gets phaser ready...

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> Chief Johnson, see if you can find out why this freighter is abandoned.

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::begins moving, readying phaser::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::nods::<TAC>Somehow, I can't quite see this mission ending well.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::nods at CSEC:: <CSEC> Aye, sir. ::walks a bit ahead of the rest of the team::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><HOPS> Lets have high hopes Quelsar.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>what we looking for..

[Joy_12] @<AENG> I think it is traditional to leave a note on the Captain's chair, or a log entriy queued.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] <<great, go ahead and start playing taps for us, guys>>

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::looking more like Jason Nesbitt than Shatner or Riker::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><TAC>Right - high hopes.

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::glances around, begins to become uneasy::

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> A light clicking noise echoes down a corridor, and then all is quiet again

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>::nods at HOPS and returns to monitoring AT::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::turns back to her console and checks that the transporter lock is still okay::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::hears noise:: <CSEC> Any idea what that was?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><XO> Aye sir

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Asec>you ok thought i heard something..

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> ::drumming her fingers on the armrest::

[CadetDavidJohnson] <<sorry was AFK for a moment>>

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <ALL> What's the matter? Let's get a move on. At least we won't find any ghosts.

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::hears XO and begins moving::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><XO> I wish we could be sure of that sir

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <CENG> Bridge or engineering, sir?

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::keeps an eye on various ship systems, for any unusual occurances, in case whatever happened to the Smarg's Delight starts to happen there, too::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::starts moving around slowly with his tricorder

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Csec>whagoing on thought i heard something..

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <CSEC> Ghosts, Cylons, whatever - the stuff of kids nightmares - not real.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>::moves check it out...

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> Lets start with what we know, if we check their power matrix we can figure out just how long its been inactive

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC2> Wish I could tell you . . .

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <ASEC2> A little jumpy are we, Recycle?

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Stays with her chief ::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <XO> I'm not debating ghosts, but if we're alone here, what made that noise?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::looks at his padd:: <AENG> According to the schematic engineering is...::points:: that way

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::moving down the corridor::: <ASEC Carst> Let's find out, shall we?

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Xo>abit never hurts be cautious..

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::sighs:: <XO> Aye, sir. ::moves further up the corridor::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <ASEC Recycle> Cautious is my middle name, son. :::trips over a bump in the carpet:::

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> A soft whirr seems to emanate from somewhere behind the engineers.

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::falls flat on his face::: Ooooff...

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::hears a whir:: What the?

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><HOPS> I wonder if they will find anything worth writing a scary story about.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::turns around::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> What...was...that

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Hears a soft whir... points a tricoder at it, looking for life forms. ::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::quickly picks himself up and straightens his uniform:::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> What was that?!?

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><TAC>Now there's a thought - the tale of the abandoned freighter.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> Anything, a person, a power source anything?

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::turns:: Weird sound. +TAC+ Are you *sure* there are no life forms over here?

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> There is a flicker of motion where the noise seemed to be, then silence. No life-signs detected.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <AT> Those of you who have them, tricorders might be in order. ::readies phaser::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::stares at TAC as the XO's call comes in::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: If no life forms, then power use, then rotates through plausible settings. ::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>+<XO> Sir All my scans and HOPS show no lifesigns but the AT over there.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <All> No life signs, but I thought I saw movement.

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>+XO+Confirmed, sir

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC> I'm beginning to think you may have been right . . .

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<XO>+ Commander...do you want us to check it out or keep heading for engineering/

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>+<XO> Have you found anything sir?

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <AENG> Me too...Maybe holographic stuff? ::hears CSEC:: <CSEC> Yes, unfortunatly...

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>tricorders on..

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> +VEnture+ We're hearing activity - not ship functions, though.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Looks for portable and moving power supplies, forward, back, to the sides... ::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> This just...doesn't feel right

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> +CENG+ Keep moving towards engineering. Check consoles on your way to see if you can find anything.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec><Csec>you ok i must be hearing things..

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> There appear to be a few weak power sources in the immediate area, all in motion.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<XO>+ Aye sir

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> XO says to keeping going

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <CENG> I've got several moving power supplies. Small robotic devices?

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC> I'm fine, I just think . . . I don't know, this is very confusing.

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::shakes her head and yet again scanns the ship for annomolous readings::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> <CSEC> You sent some security with them, didn't you?

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Shows her chief the readings. ::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::looks at the readings::

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::whirls around at the sound:::sees nothing:::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <CSEC> I'll go sir, if that's okay?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<XO>+ Commander, we've picked up some moving power sources...Ms. Joy thinks they may be small robots

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2>::tricorders scaning,<Csec just sec scaning somethings uphead..

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<XO>+ We're continuing to proceed to engineering but I would suggest the security team to check it out

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> +CENG+ Approach with caution. Check them out.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> Electronic robot tribbles? Automatic floor cleaning drones? Killer minature anime power suits?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<XO>+ Aye

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <CSEC> Sir?

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> Looks like we're going to be the ones checking this out

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Asec>you picking up anything

[sTSF_Laura] <<oooh....>>>

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC> I'm here, sorry, just zoned out a little bit . . .

[sTSF_Shadow] <<Hush, Joy..you're giving Laura ideas>>

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC> That's fine, of course.

[Ensign_Contagion] << Sorry guys, I had to take a quick AFK there. >>

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <ASEC2> Right now I'm more concerned with protecting the away team. <CSEC> Aye, sir. ::heads to engineering people::

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><Asec>got something it faint..

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> Scuttling noise rapidly coming closer to the away team.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <CENG> Is it too late to go back for a phaser?

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><XO> I did sir, sorry. I zoned out a bit.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Tries to lock onto the location of the nearest robo-tribble. ::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC2> What is it, cadet?

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::still walking:: <CSEC> Good. They're gonna need it.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::hears Joy:: <AENG> Yes, it is. But thankfully you have me.

[recycle_midshipmen] <Asec2><csec>got something it faint.. its geting closer..

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>::monitors away teams life signs and notices an increase in pulse rate on some of the AT members::

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> <TAC> What's their status?

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::earnestly keeping an eye on the ATs life signs, noting the tense silence of the bridge crew, and wondes what the heck is going on over there::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> I have mine ::pulls it out and continues to head towards the power source

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><CO> Capatain well they are in no apparent harm but I do believe that they are ... scared.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::breathes nervously:: <CENG> Any idea what's making that noise?

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><to herself>I don't blame them...

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::walks quickly:: <XO> I hope not, but it's better to be safe.

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> A spiky-looking, fist-sized robot suddenly drops from the ceiling onto Carst.

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::;walks around a corner and is pulled into a trap door::DISAPPEARED:::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <All> Eeep!

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>+<XO> Sir are you okay I noticed a incredibly large increase in your blood pressure and pulse rate.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> Gaahh!! ::crumples to the floor::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> What's going on here?!?

[sTSF_Shadow] @<XO> ::NO RESPONSE::NO LIFESIGN::NO LOCK:::

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Reaches into her engineering tool kit and pulls out her largest, most fierce, hydrospanner. ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><CO>Sir, I've lost the tp lock on the comander!

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>:: loses XOs transporter lock and lifesigns::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC2> Scan quickly, cadet!

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::holds up a hand to the AENG:: We don't want to risk anything

[sTSF_Shadow] <take THAT, you waskily wobot!>

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::reaches for phaser quickly::

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><CO> Captain I have lost connection with the XO.

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> Two more spiky robots drop from the ceiling, and from the sound of things, more are on their way...

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><CO> Captain I suggest transporting everybody back and sending a more detailed security team to search for the XO.

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> +CO+ Currently we've had an attack on - just a moment -

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><AENG> Is it explosive or can we blow these things up ::watches as two robots approach them::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> +CO+ Robots are coming down from the ceiling, more may be coming -

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <CENG> We might want to retreat to the Venture and reconsider, sir.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>+<CSEC>+ Chief we need backup here!

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><CO>Should I beam them out?

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> +CENG+ On my way! ::begins running:: <ASEC2> Come on!

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::struggles, pain searing in his flesh, finally manages to pull the robot off his face::

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> <HOPS> Pull them out.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><ASEC> This way quickly!

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC><ASEC2> I understand, but ::pants::

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG><ASEC> Yes sorry...we didn't want to risk blowing it up and you along with it

[sTSF_Laura] ACTION> The Away Team, and any attached robots, shimmer onto the Venture.

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> ::doesn't comment, runs:: +CO+ Sir, we're under attack, we need to be beamed up!!

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><CO> Capatain It appears we have also transported the robots there has been a security breach.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::finds himself back in the TR::

[sTSF_Laura] <CO> <TAC> Quarantine the TR, until we get them locked down.

[CadetDavidJohnson] @<CENG>::seeing several robots on the padd::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS><CO>They seem to have been attached to the team when we pulled them out, and they were too big for the bio filters.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> <CSEC> I detect no explosives, sir.

[Ens_Flores] <TAC>:: places the Tr1 under quarantine::

[Ensign_Contagion] @<CSEC> ::panting heavily:: <ASEC> Well, that was -

[Ens_Flores] <TAC><CO> Captain I will prepare a security team to go into TR1.

[Joy_12] @<AENG> :: Drops tool kit, and readies her hydrospanne. ::

[Ens_Quelsar] <HOPS>::grits her teath and tries to think of a way to get the intruders off the ship without loosing the away team::

[Mid_Philip_Carst] @<ASEC> <CSEC> Yeah, sir, I suggest we fire at any robot not attached.
