[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51401.21 - Season 22 The crew continues to investigate the lovely planet that appears to be a perfect paradise, and while some are swimming and other are scanning dirt, checking out fruit and caves. What could go wrong? (Don’t you love those type of questions!!?)

Christina_Nickles -> ((THATS The part that scares me)))

STSF_BluRox -> (My response: Mushahahahahaha)

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIM SIM

Heather Jamieson -> :: At her post on the bridge, scanning the local area and the planet itself ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::involuntarily swimming in the water after Jax pushed her into the drink last week::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::heard something about caves::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: with Blu as she tastes the fruit now claimed OK to eat::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::swims back to shore:: I'm all wet... but, at least the water is nice and warm

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: Had a lovely taste of the fruit:: Now this.....is really fun

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I’m glad you’re enjoying it Sir.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::climbs back to shore, wringing out her uniform::

Heather Jamieson -> :: The bridge ended up being a quiet place for some minutes ::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() you done checking stuff out?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::whistling works, well, sort of, as she heads up the lift towards the bridge anyway::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: slices off a piece and hands it to Will:::

STSF_BluRox -> (not will, Christina)

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::eventually walks back to where Jax and Will were by the caves and by Blu in time to see the admiral hand him a piece of fruit::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Thank you Sir ::takes the fruit and takes a bite::

STSF_BluRox -> (red shirts, normally all look the same.....::snickers:: chalk outline)

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL))

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::walks over to where Will and Jax were being a third wheel::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Ummm that is good.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() We still have to clear those caves, just in case. Might be some weird machinery in there that mutates people into crustaceans. You wouldn’t think that sort of thing could happen, but...

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::continues up the hill, looking at the vista below:: Ooooh. ::Takes a holo-picture with her water-proof holo-cam::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > ::sees Tory had gotten distracted with something else::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Sir did you want to check out those caves?

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: wanders into the entrance of one of the caves::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: follows Blurox::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Continues up the hill, and wanders into the cave after Blu and Nickels::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > Since we're in here....might as well take a look around

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Looks like its going to be a class trip.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Stops Will:: I am sure they can handle it

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::turns to see Ayumu joining them:: We have a joiner Sir Ms Kasuga.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Hello. I'm ready for some spelunking.

(Heather’s NPC) Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Helping with the science team ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::follows Blu into the cave::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > ::turns and looks:: Here...try this. ::reaches in pocket and pulls out a fruit and tosses it to Ayumu

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::puts on her arm light and follows the group into the cave::

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Taking holo images of the area, all while recording temperature, pressure, etc ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @ ::catches said fruit and takes a bite:: Oooh. That tastes nice.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > This cave entrance...it seems very ..... clean

Ayumu Kasuga -> Thanks..

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::walks closer to Will:: it's a cave, they are grown ups

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::is stopped:: We can give them a few minutes I suppose.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() it's not like they are ensigns right out of the academy

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Clean Sir?

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Sees the Robinson's some meters away ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() How can a cave with dirt and rock be Clean?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I must agree.. It is very clean and sterile. For a cave

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > Normally, you might find some sort of animal nesting, or a lot of dirt....look how smooth and ....clean

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Well if that cave checks out then we can clear it down here and start bringing down more crew. Its going to totally screw our repair schedule though.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I see what you mean now. ::listens:: It doesn’t sound like anything in in there... animal wise I mean :: pulls out her tricorder and checks it out::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Sniffs:: No smell of bat guano either, which is good

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Waves at the Robinson's as eh approaches ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > No spiderwebs....

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::waves at the weird red shirt ensign::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > Come on, let's go check this out....

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I’m not seeing anything showing on my tricorder either. :: nods and follows Blu::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Pulls Will behind a Tree:: lever them up there more planet for us

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::checks hers:: Nothing on mine either.

August Jax Robinson -> *leave

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Does not get to see the upper deck people often...or at all ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::entering the bridge and heads for the hot seat, waving to her relief as she goes::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sees the Captain enter ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Oh heeeey.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: pulls out a light and continues down into the cave::

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Goes to take a sample from a tree, a cross section to the center ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: pulls out her light and turns it on:: At least it’s cool in here.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > So what do you think of the planet so far? It's beautiful, I can't believe nobody's found this...

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: takes the sample and places it in his kit ::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I’m liking it but something still feels a bit off about it. Its almost TOO Perfect.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() So far so good. I'll reserve judgment though until the mission is over.

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather see your IM"s please)

Heather Jamieson -> :: Lets out a big yawn... then a tiny onscreen indicator goes off ::

 

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Whispers:: you need to relax, not everything is a death trap

Heather Jamieson -> :: reviews her previous scans :: That can't be right...

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am fairly certain most things are.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Goes back to scans in this same area, from the time they were in range until now :

Capt Rian Kwai -> What can't be right?

Heather Jamieson -> I'm getting a reading I was not expecting. I am rechecking to confirm.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Statistically, 94% of away missions are death traps, I did the math on a slow day awhile back.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::pretty impressed with the underground cave network::

Heather Jamieson -> Sensors can be temperamental.

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Goes to get samples of other natural things ::

Heather Jamieson -> :: A spectrometer scan shows a spike at each orbit ::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() so then what difference does it make

Capt Rian Kwai -> Hmm. Okay. Well, then get them calibrated and try again.

Heather Jamieson -> Computer, historical scanning record for grid A23.

STSF_BluRox -> It's a bit narrow up ahead, be careful, looks like there is a bit of a deep hole here, that we can go around if we hug the walls

Heather Jamieson -> I'm getting something artificial, seemingly in orbit. New scans are picking up the same thing. I'll need to move closer to get a more detailed analysis.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::shrugs:: Its my job to be paranoid.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Smirks:: nooo... it's your job to keep me happy

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: slings tricorder over shoulder and starts edging on the ledge, a little dirt slips, but it's not quite as narrow as it looks....at least to her....::

Heather Jamieson -> Next close pass will be in about 10 minutes.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > You two don't have to follow me, this is rather dangerous. If you want, you can wait until we bring in some antigrav

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() impossible job?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Accessing historical records for this system. The Federation database is rather light on results ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks down:: Oooh.

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Approaches the Robinsons :: Excuse me. Have you seen any beetles around?

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > In fact, I'd hate to lose either of you, you're both young, at least if I fall down a hole, it won't be so much of a loss.

August Jax Robinson -> !!!@#$%^&*() ::Kisses Will::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::stops mid kiss:: beetles?!

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I'm sure Starfleet Command would disagree, sir.

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): :: Sees the kiss, a bit embarrassed ::

Heather Jamieson -> The object is somewhat small in size, about a meter in diameter. :: Squinting into her console :: The metals appear to be an alloy, but I can't make out which ones.

Capt Rian Kwai -> Work with navigation to adjust our trajectory so you can get a better look.

Heather Jamieson -> Aye. :: sends a minor course correction plan to helm, sadly not her friend Kasuga ::

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::too busy watching Blu traverse the cave::

Heather Jamieson -> :: A blob, for lack of a better description, appears on the main viewer ::

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): Beetles, black ones with green and brown splotches along it's back.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Why are we looking for beetles? ::annoyed::

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): I am looking for them and it's to get a sample of the life forms here.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Are they poisonous? Do they transform into large killing machines?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Sir If I et anything happen to you Mr. Robinson would literally kill me

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: edges around::

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): They are probably a long lived organism here. What sir? I don't believe so.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sighs:: No, I have not seen any beetles.

Heather Jamieson -> :: The blob on screen becomes more distinct, other protrusions come into view ::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > Then you might want to stay over there and be safe, I'll be fine... ::starts heading down the passageway again...

Heather Jamieson -> Captain, there are other objects on the surface of this object.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I’d rather stay with you Sir. ::starts to move with Blu::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Doesn't want to be left alone in the cave:: Yes.. I will also accompany you guys in traversing this cave network. ::follows closely after Nickels::

Heather Jamieson -> I don't know what they do.. There are some of the same marks in various locations, possibly to correct for orbital drift.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::raises a brow:: Can you be more specific?

Norman Phil Clark: !@#$%^&*(): That's too bad. Thank you Commanders.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > ::dirt gives way a little under Ayumu's foot:: :: hopes Nickles catchers her::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Scowls:: can we ever get a second alone!?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Be careful :: makes a grab for Ayumu::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::Slows down.. otherwise she'll have to dig out her backup character bio in her documents folder::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: moving along and suddenly feels a tug on her wrist:: Hey what?!?

 

ACTION:: BLU IS NO LONGER WITH CHRISTINA AND AYUMUI

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks up to Blu:: What is it sir??

Heather Jamieson -> The placement of these holes along the major axis’s could be for course correction. These here could be a sensor cluster

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Admiral???

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ Where did she go?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Speak plainly, Heather. What is it?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ I think we should've stayed behind.

 

ACTION :: As Ayumu and Christina move forward, they come to another deep hole, and Blu's tricorder sitting on the ground in front of it::

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() OH Crap IM dead. Better call Mr. Robinson now. If we can.

Heather Jamieson -> My best guess is a satellite.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I suppose so, eh?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Look here’s her ticorder.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Pulls Will Closer::

Heather Jamieson -> Marks on the surface of this satellite indicate may have been here for some time.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() +Will+ Ens Nickles to Cmdr Robinson.

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_+ > :: as Christina bends to pick up the tricorder, something grabs Christina and Ayumu, interrupting her call and a sweet smell puts them both to sleep::

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I hop..... AYYEEEYEEYEY

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() What was that? Hello?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::passes out::

Heather Jamieson -> There is an assembly pointed away from the planet. Could be a subspace transceiver.

STSF_BluRox -> (them...as in you too Ayumu)

Capt Rian Kwai -> So it's a satellite. Of what origin?

Ayumu Kasuga -> @#$%^&*() ::Grabbed:: Ahhhh!!

Heather Jamieson -> I'm running it through recognition databases, nothing yet Captain.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() +Nickles+ Go ahead.

 

 

ACTION: Will only receive silence.......

 

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :::huffs at Will::

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::psd::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused:::

Christina_Nickles -> :: paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ooooh! ::Paused::

Heather Jamieson -> Paused

STSF_BluRox -> OH no.....Lassie is trying to tell us that Timmy has fell into the well!!!

STSF_BluRox -> Oh wait....That would be Blu and party.... AT go down the holeeeeeeee

August Jax Robinson -> after the white Wabbit?

STSF_BluRox -> Meanwhile, Will and Jax are having a wonderful picnic

Heather Jamieson -> Until Beetle Man arrived...

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well....don’t go into caves?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Okay, guys. I gotta go.

Christina_Nickles -> Night Rian

STSF_BluRox -> Crew dismissed
