Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Keeping an eye out for anything, though the fog was unpleasant::

Indaura Ryssan: # :: Looks around :: Wonder what they found at the dig site?

William Chocox: @Hopefully they just over slept on their alarms to talk to us.

Maryse Dubois: @ :;Walking with Rex and Will.::

Cptn Swain: @Rex> First time for everything

Irene Mincine: # "Nothing dangerous, I hope." :: Irene was leading them on to the dig site. ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: #Ens Reynolds> If we ever get there, maybe we'll find out. ::Shrinks down in his cool jacket.:: Does this fog ever end?! I can hear an echo of our footsteps.

William Chocox: @I hope Reynolds isn't giving them too much trouble. And you've never overslept an alarm Commander?

Cptn Swain: @Rex> Nope. I arrive exactly when I mean to --I am never late or early.

Indaura Ryssan: # Oh like an ancient virus, or perhaps some entity locked up in a vessel for ages then suddenly released?

Irene Mincine: # :: Irene looks at her tricorder and shakes her head. :: "No, the fog doesn't end. We are getting close to their dig, though."

Irene Mincine: # "I really hope not..."

William Chocox: @What about in relation to anybody else?

Indaura Ryssan: # I will scan for contagions

Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Smirks::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: #Ens Reynolds> ::He shot Indaura a look.:: You can stop making up scenarios. I'm already freaked out!

Cptn Swain: ACTION> Both teams arrive at their respective sites and..... *drum rolls*

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: (( Dinosaurs ))

William Chocox: ((Sharks with fricken laser beams.))

Cptn Swain: ACTION> At the camp site, a group is standing around drinking coffee. At the dig site, it's a busy morning and team of science nerds are bopping about.

Indaura Ryssan: # Hmm... seems busy.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: #Ens Reynolds> ::Stared, mouth agape.:: But... they aren't dead or anything!

Maryse Dubois: @ They certainly don't look like they need rescued..

William Chocox: @This is too easy.

Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Clears his throat::

Irene Mincine: # :: Irene sighs and speaks loudly enough for the science nerds to hear. :: "You sound disappointed that that they aren't all dead, Reynolds."

Indaura Ryssan: # Unless we are dead with them.

Cptn Swain: @Rex> Hello?

Cptn Swain: @ScienceNerd> ::Looks up:: Who are you?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: #Ens Reynolds> I mean... we came all this way...

William Chocox: @I'm Lieutenant William Chocox, this is Lieutenant Commander Lucius Rex, and that is Doctor Maryse Dubois.

Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Looks over to Will::

Cptn Swain: @SecurityNerds> ::Hmph quietly::

William Chocox: @We're from Starfleet checking in on you.

Cptn Swain: @Farris> I see... I am Doctor Rey Farris. You must be bringing the supplies the chief asked for...

Maryse Dubois: @ No... We were actually here to investigate your disappearance.

Cptn Swain: @Farris> ::gives them both a look like they'd sprouted three heads::

William Chocox: @According to our records you haven't been heard from for...how long again was it Commander? ::turns to Rex::

Irene Mincine: # "And this is the best result." :: Irene gets the attention of the nearest science nerd. :: "I'm Ensign Irene Mincine, we're from the USS Excalibur. Where's the head of the dig team?"

Cptn Swain: @Rex> Three weeks.

William Chocox: @Three weeks. You haven't been heard from for three weeks.

Indaura Ryssan: # :: Scanning ::

Cptn Swain: @Farris> ::Confused:: Huh, well then... so you don't have our supplies?

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Shakes head, holding out her tricorder.:: May I?

William Chocox: @Unfortunately, no. Is everything ok?

Indaura Ryssan: # :: Not seeing anything remarkable on her scans ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::Sees the team approaching and stalks toward them.:: Hey! You can't be here! This is a closed dig site.

Cptn Swain: @Farris> ::takes a drink of coffee:: Well we're running low on batteries. Unfortunately the atmosphere is too thick for solar powers and there's some low level radiation that is shortening the battery lives.

Cptn Swain: @Farris> Also the latrine unit is busted. You're engineering or security?

Irene Mincine: # :: She was unmoved, but her patience was running thin. :: "I'm sorry, but you've been out of contact with Starfleet for 3 weeks. We came to check up on the expedition."

William Chocox: @Security, Engineering, and Medical. ::points at Rex, himself, and Maryse respectively::

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Begins scanning Farris and a couple of the other crew.::

Indaura Ryssan: # :: Expands her scans out further ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::Blinks at Irene.:: Out of contact? What the devil are you talking about? We've been busy. And we're not prepared for an oversight meeting! That isn't for another four months, at least. We don't have results. Who are you?

Cptn Swain: @Farris> Oh a doctor! One of our members broke a leg looking for a new latrine site. Maybe you can take a look at her?

Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Wiill:: And you get to fix their batteries AND the latrines.

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Nods.:: I can.

Indaura Ryssan: # :: Speaks up :: Has anything out of the ordinary happened here?

Cptn Swain: @Farrs> Great, she's just over here. We set the bone as best we could, but the radiation seems to be interfering with the bone knitter.

Irene Mincine: # "Ensign Irene Mincine, xenobiologist, of the USS Excalibur." :: She gestures for the rest of the team to introduce themselves. She looks unhappy to have been brought out here for nothing. :: "I'm not here to get results or oversight, we're here to check up on you. Are you too busy for your regular check-ins with Starbase 52?"

William Chocox: @Always a glamorous day in Starfleet. Show me the problem.

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Goes over to check out the patient.::

Indaura Ryssan: # Doctor Ryssan, counselor and infectious disease if needed.

Cptn Swain: @Regiin> Riight this way.. Chocky, right?

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Scans the crewman in question.:: There does seem to be a low level radiation. Maybe we could use some shielding.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::She shrugged.:: I couldn't tell you. Not my department. ::Tilts her head at the officers.:: Starfleet officers? Xenobiology and Infectious diseases... well, I'm not sure how either of those would help here. ::She stared at Reynolds.::

Cptn Swain: @Farris> ::Looks at Rex:: Coffee?

Cptn Swain: @Wester> ::Nods to Maryse:: Possible. We have some lead blankets for xraying artifacts.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ens Reynolds> Engineering, ma'am.

Indaura Ryssan: # Is there a reason why the expedition did not contact the starbase?

Maryse Dubois: @ That could help. :;Sets up a splint around the leg.:: This will help keep the bone in place. Try not to move this leg if you could.

William Chocox: @Chocox. ::he follows Regiin::

Cptn Swain: @Patiient> ::looks at Maryse:: It's still pretty sore.

Cptn Swain: @Reglin> Here's the battery setup. Like Doctor Ferris said, we can't get any solar recharge and these things last only a few hours instead of days.

Irene Mincine: # "We brought one of everything because we didn't know what was happening down here. Another Excalibur team is at the base camp." :: She realizes she should check in with them and taps her combadge. :: "Dig site to base camp."

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::Eyebrow arch.:: Do I look like I'm in communications? You need to speak with Dr. Farris about that. I'm the lead on the site and am dealing with this right now. We've got SEVEN different ancient microbes to catalogue.

William Chocox: ((Is it Reglin or Regiin?))

Cptn Swain: << lol >>

Cptn Swain: << Please don't ask me to remember >>

Cptn Swain: @Rex> +Irene+. Rex here...

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Gets out a hypo, and begins making some adjustments.:: I can give you a little something, but not too much. A low enough dose will keep the radiation from reacting to it. :;Gives the shot.::

William Chocox: ((Because I'm seeing double ii's everywhere and now I'm getting suspicious.))

Indaura Ryssan: # Ancient microbes?

William Chocox: @Let me see what I can do for you. ::squats down and starts looking over the pieces::

Irene Mincine: # +Rex+ "We've reached the dig site. Everything seems fine here. How's the base camp?" :: Seven ancient microbes got her attention, too. :: "Seven ancient microbes? From the surroundings, they're probably sulfur-based cyanobacteria..." :: And she was off in her own world of science. ::

Cptn Swain: @Rex> +Irene+ Everything is good here. Go ahead and see if there's anythng you can help them with, we'll look into their transmitter as well.

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Has a lead blanket brought to her, so she drapes it over the patient.:: Keep this on you for now.

Cptn Swain: @Ferris> Might be a problem with the radiation frying a circuit or somoething.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::Blinks at Irene.:: That is exactly right. Most of them are, but we did find two nitrogen-based microorganisms that look quite promising.

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Gets up and walks over towards Rex.:: We need to see about getting some shielding for them. This radiation is playing havoc.

Maryse Dubois: @ Some low level emitters would work. Maybe we can get some from the ship?

Irene Mincine: # +Rex+ "Gotcha, commander. Let us know when you need us." :: She whips out a padd and starts taking notes. :: "Interesting, tell me more..." :: She looks to the rest of her team, almost as an afterthought. :: "Um, Reynolds, check on their local transmitter equipment. Dr. Ryssan, can you give the scientists a once-over?"

Cptn Swain: @Rex> ::Nods:: You and Gurry can head back then and bring whatever you need. Also maybe some extra power packs.

William Chocox: @::starts scanning the circuitry to see what's going on:: Have you tried wrapping it in lead?

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Nods as she drags along the Security. She starts heading back for the ship.::

Cptn Swain: @Reglin> We did, but we can't do that for all the batteries that power everythinig.

William Chocox: @::frowns:: That's unfortunate.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: #Ens Reynolds> ::Frowns, but nods. He did bring his kit, after all.:: Uh... where is it?

Indaura Ryssan: # Aye :: does so ::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> ::She frowned at Reynolds and pointed to a small comm hut at the edge of the site.:: Equipment is in there.

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Arrives back at the ship. She begins looking for the right equipment.::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Dr. Noel Harris> If you want more, then come see the lab results. We've got the extracted samples in the site lab.

Irene Mincine: # :: Irene calls out to Reynolds before he heads off. :: "Try transmitting to the Excalibur from there. Maybe there's some unexpected atmospheric junk we can't detect."

Cptn Swain: TWO MINUTE WARNING

William Chocox: @ Is it alright if I take one of these out?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne: # Ens Reynolds> ::Waves a hand in acknowledgement as he trudges off to the comms hut.::

Cptn Swain: @Regelin> Sure

Maryse Dubois: @ ::Find the portable shield generation, handing it to Gurry. She then slings another medkit over her back, and picks up a power pack.:: Time to head back.
