MoonshadowsToNEN: crew present or accounted for SIR... ::Salutes jauntily::
CJ Dallas59: Thank you, Commander.
CJ Dallas59: ***MB*** All personnel here, are aboard the Shuttle Palomar. We have decided to head down and have a look at the Scientific facility here on Mitchell's Planet...
AGrugan: ))Gary Mitchell?
CJ Dallas59: We cannot use the Transporter in the planet's atmosphere due to unique atmospheric phenomena.
CJ Dallas59: In addition, it is said, that there are creatures that can foly in the planet's upper atmosphere for short periods.
CJ Dallas59: *fly
CJ Dallas59: Crew is aboard shuttle. Danrea is pilot. We are now leaving Detroyat.
CJ Dallas59: ****Begin*****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::moves around in her seat little as if trying to get comfortable::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Sitting in the back, on the edge of a seat, wishing she had a stool installed so her tail fit::
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::is in the shuttle, seated and looking out a viewport. He feels a little lost not being the pilot::
MarkDanrea: CAG> After he would launch from the ship he would make a line for the planet.. He would push the shuttles engines to full power.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>COM> I know it is somewhat counter intuitive but I actually prefer travel by transporter. Just a little shimmer and you're there...safe and sound.
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Take it slow, Mark. They say this atmosphere does strange things.
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " I will slow down before we enter Sir" He would roll the craft and would slow to min power.. He was looking over all the readings seeing they where all in the green
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> ::speaking a little more rapidly than usual:: Do we have any idea what it is we are going to retrieve?
CJ Dallas59: CO>ALL> I hear they have some unique things here. especially the indignous life here.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> Hunting?
CJ Dallas59: CO>CMO> A canister of compiled Data. Once we bring it home, we're to Rendezvous with the Essex and transfer it to her.
MarkDanrea: CAg> His hands still flowing over the controls.. He loved this type of flying ships where big and slow
CJ Dallas59: ***The shuttle is entering the atmosphere. Readings are already getting a little off. Communications are out.****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> Ah I see...seems fairly straightforward and quick, I was hoping I might get a chance to examine some of the flora there...I may discover the cure for Borelian fever or Stygian flu in the leaves or roots of some new plant.
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Mark, put her on manual.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> ::She checks her tricorder... gets static on the screen:: I am getting a static effect sir... Oh... my fur!
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would shake his head as he would slow the shuttle down more CO> " Aye Sir." HE would take full control of the shuttle
CJ Dallas59: CO>CMO> That's whay this Data is so important. The USS Essex will take it to a facility where the data will be thoroughly reasearched.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::nods:: CMO> ::notices the effect of the static charge on Moonshadows::
AGrugan: Com Communications are down. We may have to wait until we land to contact the ship/
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CAG > decrease your level of descent by .2 degrees, that should take some of the heat off the shuttle
CJ Dallas59: CO>FO> Commander. we're going to have to modify a seat for you when you use shutles.
MarkDanrea: CAG> HElm> " Calm down this is not like flying a ship. If I go lower then what we are we will have trouble."
CJ Dallas59: CO>HELM> You're very quiet today, Mr Anderson.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CO> It would have been relatively easy to substitute a seat sir, I did not wish to inconveninience the engineer...
CJ Dallas59: (Scratch that)
MarkDanrea: CAG> ALL> " Stay in your placers and hold on"
Dr Elvi Pierce: ::holds on, looking a tad nervous::
CJ Dallas59: CO>ALL> Will you look at that? ::Points to the forward Port::
Dr Elvi Pierce: ;;looks out in the direction the CO pointed::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::She stands, drops to her haunches and wraps her tail around the stancion of the seat, peers forward::
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would give the shuttle a little more power.. Fun fun but he did not say much to the others
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::turns to where the CO indicated::
CJ Dallas59: ****They see a creature seemingly floating on the sky. It is reminiscient of a Manta ray. Smallerones, appearing to be young, are following the big one.*****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> TNOIP> I hope those are ...friendly.
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> "Going to keep us away from them" He would change course slightly as to not get to close to them.
CJ Dallas59: ***On of them makes a kind of "Run" Flapping it's wings, then goes vertical, nearly reaching orbit****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::despite her worries can't help but gape in awe::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> TNIP> Wow!
CJ Dallas59: CO>NOIP I'd love to look over some data on those creatures. I wonder what they call them? Sky Mantas? ::Smiles::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::She stands, top of her head clearing the overhead::CO>Interesting evololution...
MarkDanrea: CAG> chuckles as he watched it and then went back to watching what he was doing..FO> Please sit back down Ma'am I do not want you to get hurt."
CJ Dallas59: ***Sensors have partial acuity, reading a "Flock of the Creatures coming up behind them****
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>CAG> I will hold onto the grab bars... I am too short to see over everyone
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would lower the shuttle by anther degree then what he was.. HE would look at the readings. CO> " We have something aft of us sir"
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG What is it?
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " Its some kind of flock.. Not sure what type they are."
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> The same creatures, maybe?
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO " I am not sure."
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would start to turn the shuttle so they can see if it is
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Try to get us out of the way without startling them.
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " On it sir"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::he watches the flock, his eyes wide with interest::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>NOIP> Either they are of very light construction, or they have developed an alternate form of lift...
MarkDanrea: CAG> HE would make it a slow turn.. He did not feel like being food
CJ Dallas59: ****They now see about a hundred of them heading their way. They are not paying attention to Detroyat****
MoonshadowsToNEN: ((Palomar))
CJ Dallas59: (My bad)
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would look and shake his head. CO> " This is not good.. I am going to have to add power to move out of there way"
CJ Dallas59: CO>Hang on, everyone!
Dr Elvi Pierce: ::grabs tightly her knuckles turning white::
CJ Dallas59: ***The creatures are flying by as the shuttle evades them.....****
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::She drops to her haunches and grabs the seat stancion with her tail again::
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would do what he used to do in the fighters.. He would add power and would roll the shuttle down and away from the things.
AGrugan: COM>:Grips the arm rest of her seat as the shuttle is knocked about. now she remembers why she hates turbulance
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>COM> See what I mean. Transporters so much more tidy.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::She rocks on her haunches, taking a strain with her tail... SIvaoans are known to hang from branches by them so it is no pain::
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::grabs the arm of his seat, hoping the ride wont get too bumpy::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CMO> I know one Doctor on another ship who would argue with you, Dr Pierce.
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would look over the readings and would cut back on the power once the shuttle was away from them
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::manages a smile at the CO's comment::
MarkDanrea: CAg> Co> " Are youy talking about the Dr that works with Captain Kirck Sir?"
CJ Dallas59: *****Action***** One of the creatures glances the side of the shuttle. The creature sends the shuttle into a roll. Inertial dampners are going offline, as are the engines*****
CJ Dallas59: CO>Status!
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::combats her fear and stays alert::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Lets out a yowl, as she ends up hanging by said tail momentarily:: NOIP> Can they not navigate? CO> First officer fine sir
MarkDanrea: CAG> " Damm" He would yell to every one " Hold on and be silent." HE would try to stoip the roll by using full power and going in the other wayu. CO> " We are lossing power and are in a dead roll"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::yelps as the shuttle rolls and nearly slips out of his seat::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Thrusters on Manual!
CJ Dallas59: ***Thruster control is patially gone****
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " They are.. I have only about half power.." He would us them slightly to see if it would help
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Does not stick her tail in the CAG's business::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::thinks now is when you need to be strong, if something happens they will need you::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Let Greg help you with the controls.
MarkDanrea: CAG> Growls as he would drop the nose and would roll with the spine.. He would snape the shuttle hard the other way and would lift the nose up hard. HELM> Take the other set"
CJ Dallas59: CO>We don;t have enough thrust to get back into orbit. We can't call for help. Damn! What would Gramps do?
AGrugan: COM Cures in Gaeluic as her head hits a wall of the shuttle
AGrugan: Curses
MarkDanrea: CAG> HELM> " Give me full power or how much we have when I ask for it ok?"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CAG > yes ::he stumbles as the shuttle lurges and manages to take the other seat, his fingers dance on the controls, attempting to regain stability::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>COM> Are you alright Ensign? ::tries to open her tricorder to check on Murphy::
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CAG > Full power at your command, got it
AGrugan: Com>CMO>: Aye,,, just a bt of a knock on me noggin.
MarkDanrea: CAG> HELM> " I am going to try to get us out of it and touch down.. Spin is still killing us so we need to both go right and full power NOW" HE would send the shuttle to the right
AGrugan: Com>: I'll beokay if I don't have to reach for a barf bag.
MarkDanrea: of the roll
CJ Dallas59: CO>IMpulse is still offline.
MarkDanrea: CAG> All" Do not have chunks in my shuttle"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CAG > just do the best you can.. ::as soon as Mark said now, he tapped a key, giving him all available power::
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::gives up on the tricorder for now and just holds on:: I'll check you when we land.
Dr Elvi Pierce: ((to COM>))
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::thinks it is fortuante her people are somewhat arboreal::
CJ Dallas59: CO>::Decides to try and keep everyone busy:: >CMO> Doctor, would you check the status of the emergency oxygine?
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> Aye sir.....
MarkDanrea: CAG> HE would fight with the shuttle " Come one come one come to daddy little girl" He was still trying to get the shuttle to do what he wanted it to do.. " Almost.. how much power we have left helm"
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::struggles a bit to access the console::
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::checks the sensors:: CAG > Hopefully enough to get us landed
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::She would carefully stand and grab the safety bars on the overhead, swaying on her feet::
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG,HELM> We're using too much fuel. thrusters are made for stabilizing, Not powring us into the atmosphere. We'r not going to make orbit, Save some fuel to keep the orbit from decaying. Kitona will figure out how to get us
CJ Dallas59: out of here.
MarkDanrea: CAG> His eyes would go wide and then back to normall HELM> " We are about to normall with the roll.." He got the shuttle out of the roll CO> " We where trying to get the rool under controll sir. We are going down.."
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO>CO> The emergency O2 is a maximum sir. Deployment system online and functional as needed.
MarkDanrea: *roll
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::taps a couple keys, inching back on the fuel supply:: CO > I'll make sure we have enough power and feul to get back, sir
CJ Dallas59: CO>Wait a minute. I have a crazy idea....
MarkDanrea: CAG> He was looking for a place to land the shuttle
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG,HELM> Ever hear of a "Nantucket Sleghride"?
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " Nope"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::looks over his shoulder:: CO > No, sir
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::has never even heard of Nantucket or a... sleighride....::
CJ Dallas59: CO> Back in the old days of Earth, Whalers would harpoon a whale and would often pull them for miles until they tired it down.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>All> Earth history... whalers in a small boat would harpoon a whale and be towed wildly
CJ Dallas59: CO>HELM> The grappler is working isn't it?
MarkDanrea: CAG> " O god " CO> " You want us to us one of them things out there?"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CO > it is, according to the sensors
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG> Get us close to thse things!
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::perks up interested in the concept::
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CO > you're right, Captain. This is crazy!
CJ Dallas59: We have to find one that's about to go into the vertical climb we saw earlier.
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " Aye Sir." HE would move the shuttle and would close in on one of them HELM> " I hope you shoot good."
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CAG > My shooting is fari, my driving is better
Lt Greg Anderson: fair
CJ Dallas59: CO>::Ponts:: >CAG> That one! It's flapping it's wings like the othe one did. Go after him!
MarkDanrea: CAG> chuckles.. He would puch the shuttle to full power at the one the captain was pointing at.
CJ Dallas59: CO>HELM Use manual targeting. Grab that tail looking thing if you can.
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > ::checks to see if the targeting sensors are working. They are. He quickly does some tapping and sensors would lock on:: CAG, CO > I got target lock
MarkDanrea: CAG> CO> " Heere we go." His eyes would narrow.
CJ Dallas59: CO>HELM> Do it! And make it count!
MarkDanrea: CAG> HELM> "Fire"
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > CO > Yes, sir ::he taps a key, firing the grappler hook::
MarkDanrea: CAG> HE was looking down at the readings.. ONly a few more shots like this where left he was thinking
CJ Dallas59: ***The grappling hook shoots out and grabs onto the creatures tail. He then goes into a vertical climb, bring them back to high orbit****
MarkDanrea: CAG> HELM> " Cut us free.." He would go to full power again to make a run the the ship
CJ Dallas59: ***Systems are now coming back on line****
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> ::gasps in absolute amazement as the creature stabilizes the shuttle::
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>::Iam right... the generate lift in some other manner!
Lt Greg Anderson: Helm > NOIP > got himmmmm ::said as the creature climed. He would cut the grappler loose once they were back in orbit::
CJ Dallas59: ***Detroyat is hailing Palomar****
MarkDanrea: CAG> HE would open the com to the co> " Ship wants you sir"
AGrugan: Com>: We're being hailed.
MoonshadowsToNEN: FO>NOIP> I still have at least 7 live left...
MarkDanrea: CAG> FO> " Make it Six"
CJ Dallas59: CO>CAG>Tell them we're coming back and we're going to have to try this again.
Dr Elvi Pierce: CMO> :: manages to get the tricorder open and scans Ensign Murphy::
MarkDanrea: CAG> He would send the messige back to the ship..
CJ Dallas59: ***Pause***
