USS Republic Mission Briefing 51411.17: The Away Team has gone down and are investigating the 3 settlement sites on this harsh barren planet that we've come to next that has also not been in communications. While investigating, they have found more of the same, yet suddenly......... someone seems to be missing.......

 

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

STSF_BluRox -> BEGIN SIM

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::following Kwai's tracks:: This way, stick together.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() What?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() Strength in numbers?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() +Republic+ Sir Just what I said I had walked with Cmdr Robinson into the next room and when I returned Capt Kwai was not here.

 

ACTION: Not so much Kwai tracks, but long sliding skid marks, as if her toes where dragging through the dust and dirt......

 

STSF_BluRox -> +COM+ I heard you, now I want you to hear me.......find her. Now......

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Kwai's drag-tracks:: Missing crewmen. Form up folks, we are moving out. Now.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() +Blu+ Yes sir ::sounding very nervous::

 

ACTION: THE DRAG MARKS PASS THROUGH ANOTHER SECTION OF BLASTED AND CRUMBLING WALL

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::walks nervously with the rest of the team::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() well... drag marks aren't good, but upside... no blood

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::follows the rest of the crew::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Nickles! Watch our backs and don’t lose anyone! ::continues to move::

 

Action: As they follow the marks, they end up outside the building complex, heading down into a small rocky ravine

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() This cant be good.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: walks closely to Kasuga ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() When we get back to the ship, I am making some grenades out of cans of Raid.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Better to say "Don't lose anyone else"))

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::hurrying along before she get's eaten::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Besides the drag marks, is there anything else around?))

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::bringing up the rear ...keeps looking behind them to make sure they are not being followed or snuck up on:::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Slides down the ravine behind Willma::

 

ACTION: AS THEY REACH A SECTION OF LOOSER DIRT, OTHER PRINTS ARE NOTED IN THE DIRT

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Stoops down to look at the prints:: Ooooh.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() What is it Ayumu?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() These set of footprints on the ground here.

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Are they the Captains?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Other snacks or other spiders?

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Gets out her tricorder ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() ::Lets the Scientist determine that, and stands up:: Not sure, wish I knew.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Lets keep moving.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: scans :: Some of these marks match her boot size.. A common size however.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Those marks are coming up as some kinda lizard

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() Like a Gorn?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() no much smaller... insect size

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

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() Insect?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() well.. maybe but bigger then an insect.. more like the size of a human. I am an engineer, not a science officer! ::Pokes Tricorder for help::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Bigger than a breadbox))

STSF_BluRox -> (hint.....science officer.....)

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: scanning :: Hmm.. Interesting... What ever this is it's nearly as tall as I am.. I believe with some insectoid qualities. The database cannot properly categorize.

STSF_BluRox -> +Tory+ Can you make sure we have some sort of transporter lock on everyone?

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() I will need to get more scans, samples if possible.

 

ACTION: The drag marks continue around the next corner of the ravine, and then appear to go downward into one of several cave openings facing them.

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Samples later, rescuing now. One thing being assigned to this ship has taught me, caves always have interesting things in them that try to kill you.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() Works for me.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looks at Will:: I don't think we should go in that cave...

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() We need to go find the Captain!

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Caves are easy. ::sets phaser to a wide beam:: Just shoot you way through them.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Yes, but what if we get trapped, or eaten, or break a leg

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Kicks her scanner up a notch ::

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

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::sets the beam::

 

Action>There is a distant scream heard echoing through the cave chambers making it difficult to pinpoint exactly which cavern or how far the source is.

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() :: moves into the cavern:: Where is that coming from?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::heads in the cave with the most webs and signs of bad things::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() ::Follows them inside, draws out her phaser::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Looks at the multiple paths they could take.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() If you are not sure about something, shoot it.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() Should we split up to widen the search?

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() I'd rather we not. But what do I know... I'm just the driver.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() so if I am not sure you are going in the right direction.. I shoot you?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() I cant tell which way the screaming is coming from but I don’t want to waste any time.

 

ACTION:A muffled noise behind them and Ensign Buddy is now missing as well......

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() ::hears the noise behind them:: Buddy?? BUDDY!

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() NO august.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() :: Turns ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^*() Alas, poor Buddy. We knew him well...

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Cmdr Robinson? Buddy was bringing up the rear after we entered the caves Hes not there!

STSF_BluRox -> (you might want to save that line until you are holding his skull)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sighs:: Nickles, you are the rear guard. That means you are the very last person in this parade of failure. Watch behind us and shoot stuff.

 

ACTION: The only sign of Buddy is his com badge and one boot......

 

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%^&*() Yes sir
