RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51712.14 - Season 22

 

Talon away team has beamed down to the planet of Quatel to investigate the status of the planet and its people. Our probe showed a large number of life signs on the eastern continent, but there has been no communication from the planet and no answer to our hails.

 

[11:19 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Everyone is on the Away Team. (Or you can play an NPC on the Away Team if your character is occupied.)

[11:19 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Questions?

[11:20 pm] m_k_tksa: I'm following y'alls lead

[11:21 pm] Lerak trPexil: None here.

[11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Alright, let's go.

 

[11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM

[11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM

[11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM

 

[11:24 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> You and a small team of security beam down to the planet's surface on the Eastern Continent near area with the largest number of life signs. You're in a clearing in a large wooded area. There's no immediate sign of a city, but sensors show life signs to the north.

 

[11:24 pm] STSF Seiben: ::scanning the area::

[11:24 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Checks his handheld scanner ::

[11:25 pm] m_k_tksa: ::on the away team with the rest of the crew, after beaming down, tries to get her bearings while gropping for her multicorder:: Purple leaves. Haven't seen those in a while.

[11:25 pm] STSF Seiben: I guess we should head north?

[11:27 pm] m_k_tksa: If we want to check out where the settlement might be, yes.

[11:27 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Feels his ears pop :: There is no one in the immediate area.

[11:29 pm] m_k_tksa: ::makes a motion for two of the security officers to lead the way:: On ward. ::waves to S'Bien and tr'Pexil::

[11:29 pm] STSF Seiben: ::nods and follllows::

[11:30 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> ::Armed and scouting ahead, being cautious as they move through the forest.::

[11:31 pm] m_k_tksa: ::wondering if the beaming the woods was a tactical decision or a punishment::

[11:33 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Walking along in the middle of the group ::

[11:34 pm] m_k_tksa: About how many lifeforms are you picking up?

 

[11:34 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> The forest was quiet, dark, and deep. The underbrush was thick and the trees large and ancient. Large clouds of insects collected in swarms.

 

[11:34 pm] STSF Seiben: Nice foliage

[11:35 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Looks towards the swarm sounds :: I am not a fan of insects.

[11:35 pm] STSF Seiben: Hard to tell, but it looks like at least 50-100, probably more.

[11:35 pm] Lerak trPexil: How much further?

[11:36 pm] STSF Seiben: The life signs i'm able to detect anyway... about a kilometre or so?

[11:36 pm] Lerak trPexil: Ah, not to far then :: hears the buzzing ::

[11:37 pm] m_k_tksa: ::shivers, just missed this type of environment from her days back home, seems peaceful enough::

[11:37 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: The forest floor was squishy under Pexil's feet and he was never sure what he was stepping on ::

[11:38 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> As they moved further into the woods, they came upon a herd of large, four-legged furry creatures with large eyes and fuzzy branch-like protrusions atop their heads. They scampered off as the group approached, hooves chiming against the ground.

 

[11:39 pm] KhreRiovtRex: ((Sorry at light, just watching)

[11:39 pm] m_k_tksa: :::claps a hand over her mouth to keep from giggling in surprise::

[11:39 pm] Lerak trPexil: Scientists must have a field day here.

[11:39 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: turns to t'Ksa ::

[11:40 pm] STSF Seiben: I'm sure they would. The same for painters too. This forest would make a nice backdrop to paint

[11:41 pm] Lerak trPexil: Au paint?

[11:42 pm] m_k_tksa: Let's remember why we're here. ::frowns now, trying to keep herself from stray off::

[11:42 pm] STSF Seiben: A little bit

[11:42 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Walks, hoping the forest edge is close, or at least their destination :: What I'd do to have my hover-cycle here...

[11:43 pm] m_k_tksa: Those are meant for the open pavement, na settings like this.

[11:43 pm] Lerak trPexil: Na the models and way I fly them.

[11:43 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: scanning ::

 

[11:44 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> The forest began to thin and they could see the signs of a small settlement. Outside of the warmth of the forest, it began to grow colder. A dusting of snow covered the ground beyond the trees. The houses were charming, wooden structures made from the trees from the forest. There was little to be seen in the way of technology or modern materials.

 

[11:44 pm] STSF Seiben: Mm

[11:44 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Points :: There, up ahead.

[11:45 pm] STSF Seiben: Nice woodsy charm

[11:45 pm] m_k_tksa: ::stopping for a moment while the security officers scan ahead::

[11:46 pm] Lerak trPexil: I do not yet detect signs of Othan activity here.

[11:46 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> ::They paused at the edge of the forest where they still had plenty of cover and began scanning for signs of people. One pointed to the left.:: Most of the lifesigns are over there, clustered together.

[11:47 pm] m_k_tksa: Is there any vantage point in which we can see what's going on so that we know what we're walking into?

[11:48 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> We could skirt the forest and head a bit to the west. Maybe get a better view. Everyone stay within cover and stay quiet.

[11:49 pm] m_k_tksa: Aye, we'll follow au's lead.

[11:49 pm] STSF Seiben: ::nods::

 

[11:52 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> As they move (as quietly as possible) through the forest, they are struck by how silent the settlement is. There seems to be no movement within the village itself.

 

[11:52 pm] m_k_tksa: ::whispering:: Are we sure these are lifesigns? And that they're RIhan?

[11:53 pm] Lerak trPexil: I do na like this.

[11:54 pm] STSF Seiben: I have to agree

[11:55 pm] Lerak trPexil: Perhaps they are in hiding from our arrival.

[11:56 pm] m_k_tksa: ::whispering:: Au still haven't answered my question.

[11:57 pm] Lerak trPexil: I am na getting anything.. let me try some things.

[11:57 pm] STSF Seiben: Much much interference

 

[11:57 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> At the end of the village, they can see the beginnings of a security enclosure. Large vertical poles anchor tall fencing that surrounds a huge open area. The lifesigns are coming from beyond the fencing, though the Away Team can already see the people they are tracking.

 

[11:58 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Continues working on report to send back to the home world

[11:58 pm] Lerak trPexil: I don't know... wait.. I have something. At the far end of the settlement.

[11:59 pm] m_k_tksa: That can na be good. ::uses her multicorder to document the fencing::

[11:59 pm] Lerak trPexil: Looking for defensive measures.

 

[12:00 am] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> What seems like thousands of people are trapped behind the fence, clustered together in familial groups and huddled against the cold. Armed Othan guards patrol the surrounding area.

 

[12:00 am] Laehval tTemarr: (( Two minute warning ))

[12:01 am] m_k_tksa: ::starts counting guards:: This is definitely na good.

[12:02 am] Lerak trPexil: So much for no Othan presense.

[12:02 am] STSF Seiben: How many of them are there?

[12:03 am] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> A lot.

[12:03 am] Laehval tTemarr: END SIM

[12:03 am] Laehval tTemarr: END SIM

[12:03 am] Laehval tTemarr: END SIM

[12:08 am] KhreRiovtRex: But I figure as most people are still working through Friday we should be OK and secondly did you want to see him that week between Christmas and New Year’s? when
