(From last week: ACTION: Shimmering apparitions are seen yet again in various locations where both factions have been working on expanding)

 Rue Wydown: Mr Seiben, ready for landing?

Heather Jamieson: :: Awaiting the landing ::

STSF Seiben: ::Nods:: Yes sir. ::just finished the flyby of the area:: Starting landing now..

STSF Seiben: ::begins to land::

Rue Wydown: Everyone, I need you all to be respectful and neutral. Do not speculate in front of the locals, understood?

STSF_BluRox: (which of the areas did you go to first?

Rue Wydown: ((Hang on, let me look it up))

STSF Seiben: (yeah, sorry I don't recall)

Heather Jamieson: Understood Admiral

STSF Seiben: Understood ::completes landing of the shuttle and powers down::

STSF_BluRox: (one of the leaders mentioned the hydro electric dam, the other a medical and food storage complex)

STSF_BluRox: (ie, which leader is going to be pissed that you saw the other first....lol)

Rue Wydown: ((The hydro electric dam is where we were starting, they called first))

Rue Wydown: ((And Heather, I'm not an Admiral :P))

Rue Wydown: ((Woulds split the team - but we're too few))

Heather Jamieson: (sorry)

STSF_BluRox: (all good, just wanted to make sure had the group in the right place)

 

Rue Wydown: Alright, let's go poke the bear, eh? ::grabbing a pack with a few pieces of scanning equipment and other items they might need::

STSF Seiben: ::Nods, takes what he needs as well::

Heather Jamieson: :: Gets out her tricorder ::

Rue Wydown: ::exits the shuttle and takes a few moments to orientate herself:: Heather, impressions?

STSF Seiben: ::follows Heather and Rue::

Heather Jamieson: A bit humid...distinct sources of electromagnetic energy sources,

 

ACTION: The area north of the dam is an arid mountainous region, tall rocky cliffs with crystalline formations, the area around the dam irrigated and green from the terraforming.

 

Heather Jamieson: An impressive structure, and a good place to start.

STSF_BluRox: Water flows from the spillways, powering the turbines within the structure, leading to a well-controlled flow and basin below, flowing out into a delta leading to the new farmland

STSF Seiben: Very nice

Rue Wydown: Starts your readings now. ::motions towards what looks like the dam's mechanical entrance:: Rather beautiful. ::glances then back to Seiben:: I want you to find out about the history of the area, who's laid claim to it in the past, any sort of squabbles about who owns what.

STSF Seiben: OK sir. ::takes out his PADD and begins looking up the history of the area::

Rue Wydown: I'll send to Jax the data on the accidents in the area for analysis. ::deep breath:: Let's go meet the natives, eh?

Heather Jamieson: :: Scanning for any devices that perform no functions for the generation of power ::

Rue Wydown: ::begins the trek from the shuttle to the dam::

STSF Seiben: ::looking over data on his PADD as he walks along::

Heather Jamieson: Surprised we were not greeted as we landed. :: her tricorder chirped ::

STSF Seiben: No welcome wagon

Rue Wydown: Especially after how worried the politicians were. Let's not get too worried about it.

Heather Jamieson: :: turns to scan in the distance ::

STSF Seiben: Terraforming seemed to have began in the area soon after colonization. Ownership is supposed to be 50/50 but there is some overlap in key areas, the forests and waters.

 

ACTION:: As the party approaches, one of the dam workers sees them, and waves them towards the walkway up

 

Heather Jamieson: :: Looks a the dam worker, then to Rue ::

STSF Seiben: ::Nods to the worker::

Rue Wydown: ::plasters on one of her cheeky grins and waves back before trotting up the walkway::

Heather Jamieson: :: Continues her scans amid the greeting ::

STSF Seiben: ::continues his research as well::

Dam worker>: Oh good, you've come. You're the Federation people, right?

Rue Wydown: Aye. ::nods:: Commander Wydown, My science officer Ms Jamieson and our intrepid bridge officer, Mr Seiben.

Dam worker>: I'm Dalon Nvechkionarshiv, originally from Darbeth. You can just call me Dalon

STSF Seiben: ::Gasundheit::

Heather Jamieson: :: nods ::

Rue Wydown: So what seems to be the problem, Dalon?

 

Dalon> The rest of my team are down monitoring the turbines. We had another incident last night, a slight power drain....some of the men reported seeing a shimmering apparition again...But I've not been here to see it myself. I'm planning to spend the night to see if we see it happen again. We're trying to determine what the Gaithians are doing to disrupt things, but we've not been able to find anything just yet, be we'll catch them eventually.

They've been trying to deflect our accusations, by pretending they are having an issue as well and blaming us for power drains at their large medical and food storage facilities. They are just trying to make excuses.

 

Heather Jamieson: :: scanning as she listens ::

Rue Wydown: And have you all explored any causes beyond your neighbors?

Heather Jamieson: :: Wondering if there is a good spot to place a sensor to catch these apparitions ::

STSF Seiben: ::who you gonna call?::

 

Dalon> There's no indigenous peoples here on Melos, it's just us and the Gaitians. We've scanned around, there were some strange reading in the mountains, but since we blasted for the dam, we've really not picked up much of it since.

Rue Wydown: Considering all the possibilities of non-carbon based life forms and other freaky lifeforms we've encountered, I'd rather ruled out other possibilities as well.

STSF Seiben: HM.

Heather Jamieson: Strange readings?

Dalon> Some magnetic anomaly, but we've not seen it since the blasting the the lake filling.

Heather Jamieson: Where? Any information or scans you have could be valuable.

Dalon> Hmmm, I'll have one of the men go see if we've still got copies of those readings.

Dalon> We have limited space, so they may have deleted those older files.

Heather Jamieson: I sincerely hope not.

Dalon> :: turns to one of his workers and sends him off to find one of the administrators to discuss the old records

Rue Wydown: I thought this colony was relatively new?

STSF Seiben: Maybe it's a small hard drive?

 

PAUSE SIM

PAUSE SIM

 

Heather Jamieson: :: paused ::

STSF_BluRox: Well, the builders may have just been lazy and kept poor records.... they may have needed room for their computer games! lol

Vilanne: ::paused::

STSF Seiben: 

Rue Wydown: Oh boy

Vilanne: [[Thx for letting me watch *waves*]]

STSF_BluRox: ok guys, good questions tonight, think you had some good ideas so keep pursuing them

STSF_BluRox: Anytime Vilanne, sorry we're a bit small tonight, had several out

STSF_BluRox: Ok, that's all I have for tonight, Rue, anything?

Rue Wydown: Nothing from me.

STSF_BluRox: Crew Dismissed! Have a great week and we'll see most of you on Thursday.

STSF_BluRox: Good night all!

STSF Seiben: Gooodnight

Heather Jamieson: See you then..

Rue Wydown: G'night all
