RES Talon - found missing log

[KhreRiovtRex 0]

The away team was moving away from the nasty huge explosive device that they had found in the mostly buried hull of the ancient ship,

while back on the ship, engineering and science has been working on the data chips, and have been able to extract what appears to be some sort of logs or daily reports, more being exposed as the etrehh deciphers the language...

KhreRiovtRex -> BEGIN SIM

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> :: in the old alien vessel, starting to feel that they'd find nothing of value in the ship due to the damage and age ::

KhreRiovtRex -> See if we can run those data chips through the analyzer again, perhaps it can pick up more of the language structure..

KhreRiovtRex -> <well, you DID find one massive explosive device>

NDak -> ::Arrives back on the Oira, having been working with a set of teams that were setting up to extract the latnium from the original set::

Koga S'Bien -> ::exploring the alien vessel, trying to look for something of relative interest or value::

Koga S'Bien -> ::that isn't explosive::

NDak -> << Who's actually on Talon? >>

M_K_tKsa -> (Me ;) ))

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> :: ...other than a giant explosive that would probably blow up if they even contemplated moving it; hopes for something more in the information category ::

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> ::She'd already yanked out several more console parts, mostly intact data chips and processors. She was tired of console guts.::

Laehval tTemarr -> (( Everyone that matters. ))

M_K_tKsa -> ;:watching the teams medical data stream through her etrehh, amused to be annoying the oira crew so much::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: watches t'Ditsy a moment :: Au are really getting into that.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::Laehval nodded to t'Rexan.:: We have already extracted what we think are the most commonly used words. Hopefully we will be able to patch them together into something usable soon.

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> Na. The dust is making my skin itch. Let's keep going.

KhreRiovtRex -> <me>

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Well, au skin irritation aside, nothing of value in there?

Koga S'Bien -> @An old alien pop can? It might fetch a few bucks on eBay. ::holds i up::

Koga S'Bien -> it*

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: slides a look over to S'Bien :: I think, with all the latinum, we can do without the bottle return fee.

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> ::beeps and runs files::

Koga S'Bien -> @Oh well

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ But if au want a souvenier, go ahead.

M_K_tKsa -> Well, so far they have na tried to kill each other. ::frowns:: And here I was hoping they'd take out the weak ones.

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> We will na known until I can get them back to the Talon. They could be fried.

Koga S'Bien -> @Sweet. ::puts it in his bag::\

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: nods at t'Ditsy :: All right. :: considers :: Let's head a little deeper in. If we don't find something then we'll call the first exporation a wash, and then we can go back up and deal with the logistics of having a buried bomb in here.

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> We could explode it. ::Delighted.::

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> Beginning playback: It has been 3 months since we escaped from the main convoy's confinement barge and not a moment too soon...

NDak -> ::Taps a few things on his console, and checks over the protocals once more::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: snorts :: That would probably be wise... after the latinum retrieval is finished. I dont' want to take the chance of starting a new volcano eruption while we're still working.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::Tapping away at the engineering console on the bridge, she eyed the monitors she had working the language syntax, arching a brow as the playback began.:: Rekkhai... some of it has been decoded.

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> We told them it was moving too slowy, and if the experiment to stablize one of the twin suns failed, there could be a nova....little did they know, it would cause them both to go

Koga S'Bien -> @::ponders:: Too true. Don't want any more aftershocks either

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: exits the room, moves back into the corridor ::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> ::science officer tagging along with the underground party::

NDak -> ::Glances over to Laehval::

Koga S'Bien -> @::follows tr'Khev::

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> Some of us had found some habitable worlds, albiet already with savages already on them. some of us had decided it would be either us or them......so we began to 'clear' space for our people....

Laehval tTemarr -> ::Puts the alien audio on the bridge's speakers so they could all listen in.::

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh>however, someone in the government.....got all upset about ethics....where are the ethics of 'we' need to survive over some savage

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: moves down the corridor, back to illuminating the dark, dank corridor ahead ::

KhreRiovtRex -> Perhaps they should have thought of that before they mined out half the planets in our system, and then started to extract energy from one of our own suns....the fools!

KhreRiovtRex -> ::static...: End of recording

NDak -> ::Listening partially as he ran through the protocals once more::

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> ::working on decoding next::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> ::following the other two, peering into the darkness with great interest::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Considering I wouldn't want to risk putting anyone too close to the explosive for a detonation starter, would a remote detonation, say at the hatch work? :: might as well plan ahead while he waits to spot something ::

M_K_tKsa -> ::raises a brow, turns in her chair::

KhreRiovtRex -> Well...I guess that explains the bodies that were 'different' from the others...

NDak -> ::Laehval:: I assume aur people have finished working rhae the storage containers for the latnium, ie?

KhreRiovtRex -> And perhaps, that entire parsec of rubble we had to fly through to get to this sector of the map

Koga S'Bien -> @::tr'Khev:: That could work maybe if wqe get the logistics right

Koga S'Bien -> @::looking for other things as well::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: nods :: If all else fails the Talon could shoot it from orbit until it explodes.

KhreRiovtRex -> <Note...this explosive...is massive....as in....most likely would cause a crater the size of.....say that volcano over there>

Koga S'Bien -> @There you go

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> That's dead people ash. ::Pointing out to t'Geek as they moved down the corridor.:: It is getting on my shoes.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She glanced up and nodded to N'Dak.:: Ie. Engineering had them constructed with the first day of discovering the forge.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: shines his light on another door :: In any case, we won't be doing that until everyone's off the planet and the work's done. :: looks back at t'Ditsy at the phrase "dead people ash" and shakes head ::

KhreRiovtRex -> Whoever the speaker was, he evidently had no qualms about ......clearing the natives. Perhaps that would also explain that trench of bodies we found?

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> ::pipes up:: It would na be wise to be within miles of this explosion, rekkhai.

NDak -> ::Nods in the Genera; direction of t'Rexan. He was paying some attention, but to be entirely honest he could care very little interest in dead people who were na Rihannsu::

M_K_tKsa -> Ie. ::shudders::

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> ::Pokes her head into one of the rooms down the corridor and shines her light about.:: The look like some type of personal quarters.

NDak -> ::Nods to Laehval:: I have been working with au ht'ejjj (I think that's the right word) techs, I believe we can begin transporting the latnium into the containers at any time.

Koga S'Bien -> @oOH

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: looks over at t'Geek :: Ie. I'll want a seismological analysis to make sure we're not risking the operation if there was a quake. Make a note of that.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: heads over, peeks around t'Ditsy :: Finally.

Koga S'Bien -> @::Scans inside the quarters::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> Ie, rekkhai...::taking baseline scans of the area to compare with Talon's from orbit::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: steps into the room, rummages ::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ A few more data chips. :: hands them over to t'Ditsy :: Something to keep au colleagues busy shipside for a while.

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> Koga, your giant back is blocking my light.

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> ::halts next to the door of the room as the others move inside, more occupied with getting a sense of the structural stability than on the personal artifacts to be uncovered::

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> Excellent. ::grins at tr'Khev and pockets the chips.::

NDak -> ::Rexan:: Khre'Riov, I believe we are ready to finally bring the latnium aboard.

Laehval tTemarr -> Would au like us to begin, Rekkhai? ::Giving N'Dak her full attention.::

Koga S'Bien -> @::gets out of wat and continues scanning:: Not much room to move aaround in, eh>

Koga S'Bien -> ?

KhreRiovtRex -> Proceed

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Ie, we're snugger than the Daise'Maenak's patients in their stasis tubes.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: wonders how many feels t'Ditsy's copped on Koga in this mission :

M_K_tKsa -> <m>Latium. rather more trouble than it's worth

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> ::Shivers at tr'Khev's analogy::

KhreRiovtRex -> the Empire could use it well to recoup from the losses we incurred from that...whole...'Gate' affair..::turns to look at tTemmar:: Au double....was very cunning and thourogh at stripping our resources and finances

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> ::Shivers with pleasure at tr'Khev's thought.::

Koga S'Bien -> @:obliviously performs the menial tasks he has been delegated to do and looks around for valuables::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Well, this is getting us no where, and the air's still pretty bad down here. We should probably go back topside for a while.

KhreRiovtRex -> ::looks at Laehval, knowing this woman, was just as cunning...if she were not careful, she'd find herself out an airlock....along with NDak, if she gave her and the crew ample cause::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> ::finishes scans and peers into the room but can't see past the snug array of bodies::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Plus, t'Ditsy needs her bath, we wouldn't want her to be in contact with dead people ash cooties for too much longer.

Koga S'Bien -> @Heh

Laehval tTemarr -> ::She arched a brow at t'Rexan.:: She was a formidable Rihan, indeed. ::Slight, half smile to herself.::

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> Ie! ::In total agreement.:: We are breathing them in, even.

NDak -> ::Thinks he'd be safer with them both yy'a::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Well, then, let's try to get out of this room without creating any baby Rihans and head back for the hatch.

NDak -> Alright... t'Temarr, I am about to begin the transport sequence...

Koga S'Bien -> @Let's do that

Koga S'Bien -> @::packx up his stuff and follows the other back up::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: gets back into the corridor, looks to t'Geek :: Anything of interest on your scans?

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> tr'Khev> :;shakes head slowly:: The wreck seems stable enough for the moment.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Mnekha, perhaps we won't blow up today.

M_K_tKsa -> ::huffs impatiently::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: heads toward the exit ::

Koga S'Bien -> @Excellent

KhreRiovtRex -> ::looks over at NDAk:: remembering his being duped by Squids::

NDak -> ::Might, possibly, be ambitious::

Laehval tTemarr -> I will divert power to the transporters for the duration. ::Tapping on her console.::

Koga S'Bien -> @::heads back up to the exit as well::

NDak -> ::But if N'Dak did hath show ambition...::

KhreRiovtRex -> ::tursn to tKsa:: Morganna, did au say something? Sorry, I was distracted thinking about those logs

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> tr'Khev> ::winces:: Do not jynx us, rekkhai, hann'yyo.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: winds through the corridors, nimbly stepping over the preiviously discovered debris littering the dirty (literally) corridor until the sunlight pouring through the hatch can be seen ::

NDak -> ::Running his fingers over his console he keyed in the exact sequence he and the transporter techs had been working on for the last twelve hours:: Intiating transport.

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> :: begins playback:: After arriving, the savages thought us some sort of Gods descending from the sky. Of course they would...they are after all...savages.

M_K_tKsa -> No lhhei. nothing at all

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Do na worry, I encounter explosives repeatedly, and have yet to blow up. The Elements seem to prefer to put them in my path, only to change course and decide to humiliate me in some other way shortly thereafter. :: still cabbage shy ::

KhreRiovtRex -> ::turns to NDak:: How did au solve the problem of liquid latium and transporter buffers?

KhreRiovtRex -> Au do know that's one of the reasons the raw material can't be replicated, thus why it's so valuable.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: squinting, steps through the hatch into the sunlight ::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> Yes, but I should na like to be in the way when they change course from au...

KhreRiovtRex -> I'm sure the Ferengi would pay au a fortune if you've found a foolproof way of transporting it

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: breaths in deeply of the fresh air :: Much better. Well, I hope those data chips soda can were worth all of the manual labor.

Koga S'Bien -> @::clambers out after Khev;: Ahh.. nice to be out of there..

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh> We thought to clear some of the natives, but decided why kill off those that would do whatever we commanded? Why should we build and do heavy work, when we could have them raise food for us, and enough for any of the others that may join us here having escaped our worlds end...

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> :;steps out into the air as well and leans against the door frame, enjoying a bit of breeze::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: watches to see how fast t'Ditsy can pass off the artifacts and run for the showers ::

NDak -> ::Watches as the transporters cycles through the first step::

KhreRiovtRex -> :static: recording ends

Laehval tTemarr -> @ t'Ditsy> ::Striding away from the wreck as fast as she can, looking like a giant cloud of dust rolling across the field.::

NDak -> It is na entirely full-proof...

KhreRiovtRex -> Etreeh..try skipping ahead a bit...

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: chuckles ::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ +Talon+ tr'Khev to Talon.

KhreRiovtRex -> How so....au are in charge?

NDak -> We're using the transporters to remove the base material around it to make it easier to ciphon into containers that can then be brought aboard Talon.

KhreRiovtRex -> <you saw what I did there?> lol

Koga S'Bien -> @Heh

NDak -> It's using an incredible amount of our transporter capablity because we're literally micro transportering the rock in and out of place around the resivoir.

KhreRiovtRex -> <Jolan Tru>

M_K_tKsa -> ::skeptical look at N'Dak::

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ :: looks over to t'Geek while he waits :: Are the RAC's scanners powerful enough to scan through the remaining dirt and hull to see if there are more of that explosive on that ship?

KhreRiovtRex -> Continue, but if either of au note that it is degrading the latinum....cease transport and we'll use the RAC

Koga S'Bien -> @::eating a granola bar from his ration kit::

Sar'vek t'Jhiin -> (Hiya, guys. Sorry I'm late...)

Sar'vek t'Jhiin -> ::more than likely on the ship, having been buried in analysis from the safety of the lab::

Laehval tTemarr -> Transporting will be extremely faster. We are keeping the manual transport in reserve should this fail. If au would like to read the report on how we are managing, I will forward to au, Rekkhai. ::Glancing to t'Rexan.::

NDak -> ::Shoots a sharp look to Laehval, but continues monitoring as the transporter begins the ycling a second time::

Samantha_Kent -> @t'Geek> tr'Khev> ::thoughtfully:: Potentially, rekkhai...the hull is fairly thick -- as it would have to be to survive a crash which buried it so deeply with any remaining integrity.

Laehval tTemarr -> We actually took several ideas from the Lloan'na files. ::Glancing back down to her console, oblivious to N'Dak's agenda.::

KhreRiovtRex -> Na...I will trust au procedure....I just am worried that it is so much for the Empire....

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> @ Well, I suppose it should be tried, it would be helpful to know how many kegs of explosive brew are buried beneath us. So long as the scans themselves won't set off an explosion, then ignorance will be bliss.

Laehval tTemarr -> Also... the Away Team is hailing us.

KhreRiovtRex -> continue...I am sure they will reward au all well

KhreRiovtRex -> +cOM+ Report ground team

Koga S'Bien -> @::drinking a pop::

KhreRiovtRex -> <2 minute warning>

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> Holodeck: @ +t'Rex+ We have emerged from the wreck, rekkhai. We have found a few more data chips, most of the rest is in ruins. However, the io thing still intact is that explosive that t'Aejhae reported to au. Further analysis has brought to light how very...

M_K_tKsa -> Holodeck: I think I shall be returning to Medical now. I have a feeling my services may be required shortly ::smirks::

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: +com+ how very?

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> Holodeck: dangerous it is. Should it go, there will be a crater the size of the volcano next to the volcano, and it would probably cause mayhem with said volcano.

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: ::turns and grins at tksa:: If they set it off, there won't be anything 'left' for you to work on from what tA told us earlier

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> Holodeck: @ :: feels the Volcano lurking behind him, preening at all the free mentions ::

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: I wonder..if it had anything to do with what we've alreayd found?

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: action> Volcano poofs out a tiny wisp of smoke at the mention.

Arrenhe tr'Khev -> Holodeck: @ +t'Rex+ I'd like to use the RAC to perform a scan now that more of the dirt is out of the way, make sure there's no more of it in there. In any case, we'll have to monitor the seismic situation carefully and prepared to evacuate in a hurry.

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: +com+ trKhev.....proceed with au plan..trexan ta'khoi

KhreRiovtRex -> Holodeck: PAUSE SIM
