Angelaine Kitona: NAV>CO>"Not at the moment Sir, still scanning."
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Nothing conclusive sir, but we have a fair distance to cover
Angelaine Kitona: NAV>CO>"Sir, if we increase speed to warp four, we can cut our current eta in half."
CJ Dallas59: CO>NAV> Do we have a heading on where this is coming from?
AGrugan: COM>CO>:Captain, I'm getting a subspace message from Admiral Komack sir.
CJ Dallas59: CO>COM> Go ahead, Enseign
Angelaine Kitona: NAV>CO>"Our current couse is 4356 Mark 17. Stright for the archipelago."
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > Nav/Tac > if you got a heading, I can get us there ::smiles::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::re-reads Lt Moonshadows file carefully, finding her species extremely fascinating and wondering if she can find some technicality in there that she could use as an excuse to call her in for an exam::

Angelaine Kitona: ;;keeps running the signal through her console, thinking it looks familiar;;
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO>Signal fed to computers sir... not quite clear yet but stronger
CJ Dallas59: CO>HELM Take us in. Let's see where it's coming from
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::grins noticing that she will get the opportunity to examine the Sivaoan soon...she needs an injection every 45 days to supress her normal estrus cycle and she will need her next one soon::

Angelaine Kitona: NAV>CO>"Entering the Archipelago, scanning for the transport."
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Sir, I have narrowed it down... it is faint alpha radiation... some gamma... coming from a class M planet

MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Sir, My science instructors at Academy were mostly Vulcans... it tends to suppress one's humor reflex
AGrugan: ((Why
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> Those classes must have been...Fascinating for them.
AGrugan: d AOL have to monkey around wih their software. It won't let me unsend an unfinished email((
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::recieves coordinate transfer from Kitona and adjusts course to compensate::
Dr Elvi Pierce: Nurse> ::enters room and frowns slightly at the barefeet on the desk:: CMO> I've finished the inventory you requested Doctor. ::offers Dr. Pierce a compadd::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> SIr... preliminary readings on the class M... possible signs of civilization, I would say they are deteriorated by at least 1000 years standard.
Dr Elvi Pierce: ((They enjoy torturing users AG))
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> A dead civilization? Hmm We'll check out the situation and reccomend Command assign a science vessel.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Sir... I am picking up a dust cloud.... back tracking course puts it over the planet at the time the civilazation seems to have collapsed... cloud is highly radioactive
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::quickly removes her feet from desk, sits up and accepts the padd with a friendly smile:: Nurse> Anything I should know about Ensign Vel?
Angelaine Kitona: ;;looks up;; TNOIP>"Sounds like they had their own nuclear war."
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> Is it safe for a landing party if the Doctor gives us Hyronoline treatments?
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO>SIr... readings of surface background count... exposure of landing party would be fifty millirads per five hour stay
Dr Elvi Pierce: Nurse>CMO> No ma'am. Everything was accounted for, it's all there on the padd. I've also take the liberty of writing up the weekly reports for your review and sign off.
Angelaine Kitona: NAV>CO>"Approaching planet, shall we assume standard orbit?"
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> We should be ok long enough to go down there and have a look, run some scans.
CJ Dallas59: CO>NAV> Affirmative.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::looks a bit surprised:: Nurse> That's quite efficient of you. I appreciate your extra effort.
Angelaine Kitona: ;;nods;;NAV>HELM>"Standard orbital approach now."
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > Nav > the order for standard orbit was issued before as we approached. Now entering standard orbit
CJ Dallas59: CO>Alright, let's go have a look down there. Moonshadows, Kitona, With me....
Angelaine Kitona: NAV>HELM>"Acknowledged. Entering standard orbit, Captain."

Angelaine Kitona: ((famous last words))
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CO > Aye sir. Be careful
CJ Dallas59: CO>::Heads for the TL::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO +T+ CO On my way sir! ::grabs her field kit, double check that it has been restocked and heads for the transporter room::

EricMoore521: @ceng>::Follows::
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> So it's an atomic war that did this. Loks pretty certain. Poor Devils.
Angelaine Kitona: @;;follows her tricorder readings to what looks like the side of a mountain. Finds what looks like an old entrance or bunker. Scans the lock with her tricorder;;
MoonshadowsToNEN: @csci / FO> ::Follows along absently singing the archaic song "Intergalactic Laxitive" Very quietly::
EricMoore521: @ceng>::Is scanning the area::
Dr Elvi Pierce: @cmo> ::looks around as they walk hoping to spot something especially interesting....::

CJ Dallas59: CO>LP> Well the archaologists will have a field day here, that's for sure.
CJ Dallas59: @co+T+NAV> We're on our way. >CMO,FO> Look's like angie's found something.
Angelaine Kitona: @;;looks back at the CENG;; "Can you see this?"
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Follows Angelaine... draws her phaser, scanning with the other hand::
EricMoore521: @ceng>Nav> Yes ::looks it over::
Angelaine Kitona: @nav>CO>"Sir, I'm seeing what looks like a web of pulsating crystals, like ....almost like a giant brain in a way. It's difficult to describe."
Dr Elvi Pierce: @cmo> ::checks rad exposure readings, preferring to be safe rather than sorry::
MoonshadowsToNEN: @fo> ::Is now quietly singing "I Kissed a Nerd and I Liked It::
Angelaine Kitona: @;;reaches out to touch it and for a moment, she freezes, totally paraylzed then, without warning, she crumples onto the ground, out cold.;;
EricMoore521: @ceng> It looks like a control system
Dr Elvi Pierce: ((are we all together -- where I saw what just happened yet))
MoonshadowsToNEN: @fo>::Drops her tricorder to hang on its strap, rushes to drop to her haunches near Angelaine::
EricMoore521: CENG>+T+CO> PLease come to our location::
CJ Dallas59: CO>::Enters the Bunker >CENG> What happened?
Dr Elvi Pierce: @cmo> ::springs to Kitona's side and bends down and scans her::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CENG> Moore, How did this happen?
EricMoore521: CENG>CO> Nav found something odd
CJ Dallas59: What was the last thing she did before she collapsed?
EricMoore521: CENG>CO> Nav reached to touch it
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::taking it easy on the bridge, until Kitona collapsed, then he arched a worred brow::
CJ Dallas59: CO>::Mutters an unpleasantry:: >LP No one touch anything!
EricMoore521: CENG> Then she just froze and drop
MoonshadowsToNEN: @fo>CO> I think she touched the crystals sir... I recommend no one else do it... of course she does exhibit esper powers...
Angelaine Kitona: ((should have told me earlier LOL))
Dr Elvi Pierce: @cmo> ::looks at her tricorder readings and checks to be sure Kitona is breathing::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CMO> Doctor do you have any idea what this is?
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > =T= CO > Destroyat to Captain Dallas. I just noticed a drop in Kitona's vitals. Shall I transport her aboard to sickbay?
EricMoore521: CENG>::Studys it with out touching::
CJ Dallas59: *****By Angie's Point of view, she awakens, only she is not hwere she was. The blurred vision coalesces into a well adorned room and several people gazing at her****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::looks up and waves her tricorder over the crystals to see if it can tell her anything:: CO> No sir....I'm scanning now.
Angelaine Kitona: ;;looks up;; "Where.....Where am I?" What happened?"
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> It might be best if I get her back to the ship sirm until we know more
EricMoore521: On the floor you got zapped I guess
CJ Dallas59: ***A Woman in awhite robe approaches Angie. "Are you from the outside? Is it safe now? Can we go home?******
Angelaine Kitona: (responding to CO post))
MoonshadowsToNEN: @csci / FO> ::SHe gets up from beside Angelaine, turns and begins a full spectrum scan on the crystal structure::CO> I cannot tell what the energy is sir... but it is close to alpha waves... it might be classified as psychic energy.
CJ Dallas59: (Angie is still unconcious)
Angelaine Kitona: ***"Yes, I am from the outside. What do you mean, go home, back above?"***
MoonshadowsToNEN: @fo>CO> I do NOT like the term!
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> Then would it be safe to take her back to the ship? If thing di this, we may need it to "Undo" it.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::shakes her head:: CO> Possibly, but I could run more tests there, perhaps understand how it;s affecting her sir. We coukd always transport her back if need be.
MoonshadowsToNEN: @fo>::Considers::CO> I am not a doctor sir, but it might not be safe for us to move her away from the matrix
Dr Elvi Pierce: ((hard to type 12 pnd cat pn hand))
CJ Dallas59: ***The woman Spoke. "You are inside the mind crystal with us. with all of us. We are what's left of our people"*****
MoonshadowsToNEN: ((Trade you for a 26 pound Oscar cat))
CJ Dallas59: ****Pause*****

MoonshadowsToNEN: Crew present or accounted for sir
CJ Dallas59: Very good. Commander. Murphy, take Security. There really wasn't an "OPS" in TOS Most of that is done by Sci and NAV/TAC

CJ Dallas59: Captain's Log: Stardate: 1672.1.
CJ Dallas59: We have found an uncharted class M planet in a remote archipelago that little is known of.
CJ Dallas59: We have found what appear to be the ruins of an ancient Civilization, and signs of possible planetary cataclysm, or war.
CJ Dallas59: Upon investing the ruins, Lt Kitona has made a discovery. Only she is unconcious. We believe it has something to do with some crystalline structure that almost seems alive.
OnlineHost: “Laughalot1234567” has left the room.
OnlineHost: “Laughalot1234567” has left the room.
CJ Dallas59: We have decided not to move her. There seems to be s psychic link between the Lt and this Crystal. We need to find out how to break it without haring Lt Kitona, and we must leave the area before the radiation becomes intolerable.
OnlineHost: “Laughalot1234567” has left the room.

Angelaine Kitona: NAV>Leader>"I don't know. I saw these energy eminations on my tricorder and came here. I don't even know how long you have been in here."
Laughalot1234567: Shalla> ::looks disappointed.:: Kareema> What now?
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO/FO> Maybe we can search to see if there is any clue to what this crystal thing is supposed to do? Maybe whoever left it here left us some information?
CJ Dallas59: Kareema>NAV> It has been many centuries. It was said when the time came, we would break the crystal and return to our bodies. But they must be there in order to do that.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Looks at the walls, the base of the crystal, changes modes to probe surfaces on the tricorder, looks for memory bank or runes or something too convenient::

MoonshadowsToNEN: CSCI>::She finds nothing in the way of written records... she is really getting annoyed, tail semaphoring::
CJ Dallas59: CO+T+CENG> Good work, Mr Moore. See what else you can find and keep me posted.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO/FO> Crystals have long been linked to psychic abilities and to memory storage. I think it is entirely plausible that this could be a device used in either or both of those manners.
CJ Dallas59: CO>LP> We have broken life suppoer canisters, and we seem to have mental activity in this cryatal. This is an intresting puzzle
EricMoore521: CENG>CO> Yes Sir ::Continues to run tests on it::
Angelaine Kitona: NAV>Leader>"I understand but, I need to get word to my friends so they can go and look. They cannot stay her much longer because of the elevated radioation levels."
Angelaine Kitona: here*
CJ Dallas59: CO>ALL> I wonder we could get through to Angie somehow. What If I touch that thing and go in after her?
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO I apologize for my unfamiliarity with crew sir but do we have any other persons with telepathic abilities aboard ship?
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Sir.. regualtions do not permit me to allow you to risk yourself thusly...
EricMoore521: CENG>CO> I don;t recomed its you Sir
Angelaine Kitona: TNOIP>"I wonder if I could operate my tricorder from in here?"
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> I don't think that would be wise sir....we might wind up wtih two of you unconcious and not know any more'
CJ Dallas59: CO>If we take her to sickbay, it could endanger her. We can;t just leave her here. We have to get out of this radiation before long.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> But if we have another telepath aboard it is possible they could connect with Ms Kitona and give us more information.
CJ Dallas59: CO>CMO> None to my knowledge.
