"Tunnel Vision"

USS Hooke 11402.20

Mission 01 - Tunnel Vision, Part 1

Summary: On the mining community of Janus VI, the indigenous Horta, who have worked alongside the Federation for over a century to find mineral deposits, have retreated deep below ground beyond sensors. The reason? A mystery the Hooke has been sent to investigate. The Nebula class vessel is 15 minutes out from the planet.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::yawns and taps his combadge:: *TAC*: Sumner to D'Mera. Please meet me in my office.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::scratches his head idly with the PADD styles as he goes over his notes - information on Horta physiology was incredibly scarce, the same for most Silicon-based life forms - he he'd gleaned a few things from Doctor McCoy's 90-year-old notes::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::sitting in her chair on the bridge, not entirely sure CEO "fixed" it to her satisfaction yet::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Glances over her desk, realizing it's even more full of PADDs than her desk at the Academy was, sighs, and then exits her office::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

*CTO*: On my way, Lieutenant. ::heads towards the turbolift::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::hums tunelessly to himself, scrolling through a PADD as he waits::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::arrives at the doorway of the Tactical Office. She presses the door chime button, producing the familiar two-tone entry tone as she waits outside the door::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Reaches the bridge, and enters, taking a moment to absorb the fact that she's back on a bridge, before silently moving forward and taking her seat next to Suder::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

TAC: Come in, Ensign. ::sets the PADD down and leans forward in his chair, rubbing his eyes, looking worse for wear::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

~CO: I still can't believe I'm back here.~

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::She steps through the doorway and stands at attention in front of the Chief Tactical Officer.::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::doesn't look away from the viewscreen, but smiles a tiny bit:: ~XO: You look good back in that uniform.~

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

TAC: Have a seat. ::sits back:: Welcome aboard, Ensign. How've you been getting along?

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

~CO: Liar. I look uncomfortable in this uniform~

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

CTO: Quite well, so far, Sir. ::She gives a half smile, and fights the urge to fidget:: CTO: I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from you.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::laughs and turns to her XO:: ~XO: Well, I'm glad to see you in it.~

Host GM_Andrew says:

<OPS_Ens_Qufu> CO: Incoming transmission from Janus VI, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::looks over to OPS:: OPS: On screen.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Grins over at her Captain:: ~CO: You do realise this is either going to be amazing, or a total wreck, us in command together. ~

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::frowns to himself before putting the PADD down and getting to his feet, stepping out of his sizeable office and into Sickbay proper:: Nurse_Wotesh: Do we have a magnetic resonance imager onboard? See if we can have it installed over Biobed 4.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::slightly waves off the compliment:: TAC: I'm sure you'll be learning from a lot of people. ::he indicates the PADD:: TAC: Any questions before we get started?

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<Bolian> ::appears on screen:: *CO*: Please hold for Chief Engineer van der Waals.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::chuckles:: XO: Anya, either way, it'll be memorable. ::focuses on the screen::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Shakes her head in amusement before focusing on the screen::

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::the Catlike Humanoid Science Officer works at her station::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

~XO: Drinks later. I don't care how busy we are.~

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::She twists her face in thought:: CTO: No, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::stands up, preparing to speak to the Engineer that is taking his sweet damn time getting to the comm::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

~CO: Always, Captain. Wouldn't want to disobey orders this early on.~

Host GM_Andrew says:

<van der Waal> *CO*: Captain, I've just lost one of my men.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::back turned to XO:: ~XO: Damn right!~

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

<Wotesh> CMO: I'll...check with engineering, sir. I think it's back in the cargo bay. ::rushes off to do just that::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

TAC: Alright. We're gonna start off with level 4 diagnostics of all tactical systems; should be relatively straight-forward. ::he gets up and motions for her to follow him out of the office::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::raises an eyebrow in surprise:: *van Der Waal*: I'm sorry to hear that. We're getting to you as fast as we can. Can you update me on the situation?

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::She follows him silently, recounting to herself the Phaser Array arrangements onboard the Nebula Class - eight arrays in all...::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::nods, sighing softly and making a few final checks of the Sickbay to ensure they have what they need::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

TAC: If you run into any trouble, or need any help, Engineer Prola should be available. ::motions to the contraption on her arm:: That your inhibitor?

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Permission to come aboard, Captain. Lucitano Orenstein, reporting for duty.

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Looks Sumner in the eye:: CTO: If we could stick to the task at hand, Lieutenant. ::She clasps the outside of the forearm mounted Pheromone Inhibitor with a green hand and pokes her nose up in the air, nodding to Engineer Prola as she passes.::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<van der Waal> *CO*: We've still not got Horta on our scans. I sent an engineer down the tunnels, but there's only so deep we can go with the suits.. and he never came back.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::nods some:: TAC: Apologies. ::stops at a turbolift:: I'm off to the bridge. Call me if you need anything. ::smiles briefly before stepping on:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Checks all systems, running virus checks as necessary::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::D'Mera rolls her eyes as the turbolift doors shut. She steps towards the tactical support station and taps at the console::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

*van der Waal*: I see. We should be entering orbit now. We have equipment on board we can use to scan deeper than yours, we'll find out what happened, and we'll do all we can to find your missing engineer.

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::listens continues her work familiarizing on the scientific studies of the area::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::waves to XO to welcome OPS to the bridge while she continues with her conversation::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Smiles over at OPS, before standing up and gently leading them out of the viewscreen area::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<van der Waal> *CO*: Thank you. Janus six out.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::makes a note on his PADD and then steps out of Sickbay and into a Turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

OPS: Captain is a little busy right now Cadet, but welcome aboard.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

XO: Just checking systems. Have a good day.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Returns to appropriate area, smoldering::

ACTION: The Hooke drops from warp at their destination.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::steps onto the bridge, contemplating holding his arms out wide, and realizes he's too tired for shenanigans today; just goes to his console instead:: CO: What'd I miss?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::feels the ship drop out of warp as the turbolift comes to a halt, stepping out onto the Bridge and taking a spot at the secondary Science station::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::sighs:: All: OK! aSCI: I need all bio scanners aimed at Janus Six. They have lost an engineer, we need to find him.. her, I dunno, figure it out. NAV: Standard orbit.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Gives a sharp look at OPS and speaks quietly:: OPS: Then maybe, next time you introduce yourself to the Captain, you wait until she isn't on COMMs on the viewscreen ::Returns to her seat::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::glances back at CTO:: CTO: Missing engineer, and still no sign of the Horta.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::gives a thumbs up:: CO: I now feel sufficiently caught up. Thank you.

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::a Horta, she thinks as she sets the scans of the ship to find the appropriate species profile in the scanner.:: CO: Yesss, Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

XO/CTO: I may need you two down there with the doctor. Prep for an Away Team.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::glances up with a slight smile, making a few adjustments to the sensor array to assist with differentiating the Horta from the surrounding rock:: aSCI: Got you covered, Cadet. You should be able to pick out something from that mess down there.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

CO: Should we be equipped for a search and rescue, Ma'am?

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Nods to Suder, and looks over at the CTO::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Looks around Main Engineering - the Master Systems Display console wasn't a glamorous post by any means, but D'Mera had auxiliary control of all of the ship's defensive and offensive systems from this spot. She cracked a smile as it suddenly hit her, this was her first real shift. And it was the primary crew on the bridge and everything. This is the real deal. She bit her bottom lip and straightened her face, hiding the smile::

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::Ears back a little annoyed but says nothing about it and plugs in for the Ship Sensors to look for a Horta Profile::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::looks up from his console again:: CTO/XO: If we're going down there, I recommend full EVA and personal shield generators. It'll get extremely hot.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: No sunbathing then?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::grins, just slightly:: XO: Only if you want "none" to be your skin colour shade of preference.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: And I don't think 'if' is an opt...::Stops suddenly::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

CTO: Best case scenario, yes. But standard Away Team protection, nonetheless. And I want you all equipped with EVA suits. The Eng- ::stops talking with a grunt, and winces against a sudden pain, Kirk-style::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::puts one hand to her head and grimaces::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CO: You...getting...it....too?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::frowns, glancing between both the CO and XO, pulling out his tricorder and taking scans as he steps down to the command circle:: XO/CO: Telepathic contact?

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::waits on the scanning on the Planet to be complete::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::manages to sit down:: XO: mmhm...

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: Lots of voices.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::makes for the TL, and stops, frowning, trying to recall what he'd read about the Horta::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

CMO: Too many to distinguish...

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

*TAC*: Systems look good from up here, D'Mera. How's things on your end?

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CO: Horta?

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::cycles the phaser arrays again, then counts the torpedoes, then degausses each tube in succession.:: *OPS*: Still running the diagnostic Lieutenant Sumner requested...

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

CMO: Doc, make it stop! ::closes her eyes::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::frowns at his readings, then takes similar ones from the CO:: CO/XO: I'm detecting increases in your Psilosynine levels, whatever it is it's heavy. ::opens up his surgical kit and pulls out a hypospray, loading it with a neurotransmit inhibitor:: This should lower the levels some.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::injects the CO first, then the XO::

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

CO: Captain the sensor scan is inconclusive. Mostly likely too deep for the scanners.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Allows some tears to leak out her eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::looks up at CMO:: CMO: You think?! Slap an inhibitor on us, for pity's sake.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

CMO: Probably a good idea.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

*TAC*: It's a solid diagnostic. Of course, software bloat is unavoidable on a starship of this size. Shouldn't take more than a few more minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::can just about focus as CMO works:: OPS: redirect power to science's scanners. We need them to go deeper.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Redirecting power. ::Redirects Power::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::fights hard to keep a smile off his face as he thinks 'that's what she said'::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::puts the hypospray away and pulls out his tricorder again with a frown, taking some more readings:: CO/XO: Your levels are dropping...::slips his tricorder away and pulls a pair of neural inhibitors, making adjustsments based on their readings quickly::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::shakes her heads slightly, trying to clear it::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Taps at the console:: Self: Thanks, OPS... Because I don't know how to read a console... ::She rolls her dark green eyes as the phaser magnetos pop off and back on::

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Reflects on how good a team I and D'Mera are.::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

<Nurse_Wotesh> *CMO*: Doctor, we're getting reports of headaches, nausea and neural trauma across the ship. Telepathic races seem to be the targets.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::blinks with some relief:: ALL: OK, what did I miss?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

CMO: Aren't Horta susceptible to telepathic contact? Or am I just making that up?

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::Growls on the lack of help sees if she can get the power herself for a deeper scan by rerouting on her own. This is not efficient::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::presses one of the inhibitors to the XO's neck, then taps his comm badge and attaches the other to the CO:: *Nurse_Wotesh*: Understood. 2cc dose of Lexorin and a neural inhibitor to block the incoming signal.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

:resists the urge to take the inhibitor off and check the settings:: XO: Better?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::nods up at Henry:: CTO: They communicate through telepathy, but usually only close range - even touch-telepathy for most.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CMO: Could this reflect a higher-than-normal power? A gestalt?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::glances between the CO and XO with a slight smile:: CO/XO: That should keep your heads clear, let me know immediately if it gets worse. Could you tell where it was coming from?

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Moves slowly back to her chair, moving each limb in turn to makes sure nothing cramps so she is fit for the AT::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Looks confidently at the Master Systems Display. A perfect systems analysis, Sumner would be pleased, she hoped. She tapped her combadge:: *CTO*: D'Mera to Sumner, I've completed the Level 4 Diagnostics, per your request. ::Smiles to herself, triumphantly.::

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::checks to see if she has another chance at a deeper scan and already debating on using the facilities scanners to enhance the scan for the Horta as she activates the scan::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::frowns some, his mind coming up with crazy ideas about interloping telepathic entities, then perks up:: *TAC*: Good. We're preparing an away team; we need EVA suits and personal shield generators for six in Transporter Room 1.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::shrugs, genuinely unsure:: OPS: It's possible. The Mother Horta never exhibited this kind of telepathy.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

CTO: And make it snappy. That contact was... urgent. Whoever, or whatever it was... they're terrified.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CARGOBAY: Prepare EVA for Away team, with personal shield generators, for Transporter 1, as per TAC.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::folds away his tricorder after checking the readings one more time, then fishes in his surgical kit for another Lexorin hypo, handing it to Kesh:: CO: 2ccs, every 20 minutes. That and the inhibitor should keep you up and stable.

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

Self: Whoa. ::Her face deadly serious realizes this is actually happening.:: *CTO*: Yes, sir. ::She tags in another Tactical Officer and heads towards Transporter Room 1 by way of the Armory::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

aSCI: Anything on the new scans yet, Cadet?

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

*TAC*: I've sent requisition supplies for Transporter 1.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::nods and heads for the turbolift:: CO: I assume Commander Jameson is staying behind?

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

Self: You know, in England, they call Turbolifts "Lift Lifts".

aSCI_Cdt_Srrel says:

::frowns looking at her readout:: CO: A very deep deposit of silicon, it could be a group of Horta... difficult to tell.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::looks from Henry to Jameson with a frown:: XO: I'm not worried about your scans right now, but the telepathic link might be stronger on the planet.

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Ignores OPS as she steps into the armory, retrieving a crate of Personal Shield Generators and Phasers. The door latches behind her and blinks read - locked out to anyone but Tactical. She steps quickly down the corridor towards Transporter Room 1::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Overhears the CTO:: CTO/CO: No! I'm going

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

CTO: Why assume that? She is leading the team, and we need a telepath down there.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::gives OPS an odd look:: OPS: ... You're alright, newbie.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CTO: Thank you Lt Sumner.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

CO: Are you sure? The effects could be a lot worse on the surface.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::turns to XO:: XO: Just... if it gets too loud... get out.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Stands up, giving a pretty good impression of an XO:: CTO/CMO: Lets go. The Doc will be there with more inhibitor if I need it, right Doc?

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::reaches over and dials up the neural capacitance on Jameson's inhibitor:: XO: Sure. I'll make sure to give you the good meds when you collapse in agony. ::smiles ruefully and follows her up to the Turbolift::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::frowns slightly towards the CMO, but moves to the turbolift without further comment::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Steps into Transporter Room 1 to find a rack of EV Suits from Cargobay 1. D'Mera sets down the crate of Personal Shield Generators and begins powering up the suits.:: Self: Well, Sumner, were you going to send a team down here or not? ::she looks around the empty Transporter room as she taps at the suit controls::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::watches the Away Team leave, finally feeling that itchy-feet issue most CO's deal with::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Grins and winks at him:: CMO: Knew you'd look after me doc, and make sure my corpse looks pretty.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Rereads the relevant literature on Hortas::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

OPS: Hail the planet.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

TL: Transporter room 1. ::glances at the XO with a smile:: XO: Oh, the prettiest, of course. Just make sure you tell me everything you're feeling so it doesn't necessarily come to that.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::is too tired for this shit::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: When something changes you'll be the first...::pauses and thinks of Kesh:: the second to know about it.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Hailing the planet. ::Opens hailing frequencies::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<Bolian> *CO*: Please hold for Chief Eng...::is interrupted::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::raises brow at viewscreen again::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<van der Waal> Bolian: Oh, can it, would you?! *CO*: Captain, van der Waal here.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

XO: He should probably be the first.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CTO: I think the Captain will feel it, before I get the chance to tell him, hence the second.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::steps off the TL with a chuckle:: XO/CTO: As long as when you suit up and made sure your EVA medkits are stocked.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

*Waal*: We're sending an Away Team down to co-ordinate from the surface. They may need assistance in navigating the facility?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::points a finger:: XO: Gotcha.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Should have volunteered for away, as his psychic potential has been unfavorably compared to a Class-M urinal.::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::nods to D'Mera:: TAC: Ensign. ::selects a suitable EVA suit from the rack and starts clambering into it, muttering all the while as how cumbersome these things always are::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Nods at the Doctor, she gives him a wink::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<van der Waal> *CO*: Of course, I'll accompany them myself. ::nods::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::enters the transporter room:: TAC: Thank you, ensign; suit up. ::picks up an EVA suit and starts pulling it on::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::chuckles quietly, checking his surgical kit and strapping it to his suit:: TAC: First away mission, Ensign?

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

*Waal*: Thank you. And secondly, we are attempting to get readings locating your missing engineer. Can you provide us with bio-data?

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Looks befuddled:: CTO: Sir? ::She's all like, "whoa, really?" - that's the face that she has right now. "Whoa- really?"::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

<TO_Benson>::steps onto the bridge and assumes Tactical, also looking haggard::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

TAC: You heard me. ::grins briefly as he zips up::

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Salutes Sumner::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::takes a phaser and slips it into his belt along with his medical tricorder::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

CMO: I guess... ::She swallows, hard, with anxiety. Her worried look momentarily subsides as she begins to calibrate and fit the suit.::

Host GM_Andrew says:

@<van der Waal> ::taps a monitor on his desk:: *CO*: Yes, I'm transmitting his information now. Anything you need, just say so.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CTO: So we are adding to my Away Team? ::gives him a small smile to slightly soften the sharp tone::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

<Nurse_Wotesh> ::hurries into the Transporter Room, out of breath, carrying another kit:: CMO: Sir! The thermal concrete you asked you.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::scratches the side of her neck, beside the telepathic inhibitor. Hates these things::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

*Waal*: Much obliged. ::looks back at OPS to see if the data has come through::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Starts to kit up, for a moment, missing the academy::

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::smiles, taking the kit with a nod:: Wotesh: Thanks, Nurse. Keep me apprised on the Sickbay situation, and make sure we have enough inhibitors. ::straps the second kit to his other side::

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Starts checking each Away Team members EV Suit for green lights:: Aloud: you're good... you're good... you're good... ::she taps one of the suits with the heel of her hand, the light blinks green -:: Aloud: alright, then.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::smirks at the XO:: XO: You'll be glad she's along when she drags you out of a cave after you've gone into one of your special brain episodes.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: They all for me Doc? ::Nods to the second kit::

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Analyzing data now.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

*Waal*: We'll be in touch. Hooke out.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Laughs aloud:: CTO: Special brain episodes? I hope you don't call Betazoid telepathy that in front of the Captain!

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::grins, stepping over and checking the medical readouts on her suit:: XO: Only if you want a new skin of thermal concrete, sure. ::glances at her with a smile, then moves off to check D'Mera's and then Henry's suits::

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

::steps over to OPS's station and leans over:: OPS: What have we got?

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Captain, the figure's a Betazoid/Human.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

XO: Oh no, I call it much worse in front of the Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CTO: That'll be...entertaining to see in person

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::moves to the transporter pad, checking his phaser and tricorder along the way::

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

CMO: Just get me back, preferably in one piece Doc. I don't want my first mission under Suder to be a dud.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

OPS: Who isn't these days? ::huffs:: OPS: OK... good. ::taps comm badge:: *XO*: Anya, the missing engineer is a Betazoid/Human hybrid, male... He may have been thrown by the same contact we were.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: No addiction history, tonsillectomy as a child...preference for chocolate. And yes, telepathic capacity.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:

::steps up onto the transporter, giving his kit another once-over:: XO: Understood, Commander. One piece.

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Grabs two phaser rifles from the security closet off of the Transporter Room, tosses one to Sumner and steps onto the pad. She checks her PSG on her waist::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:

::manages to catch the rifle, thinking it might be a bit much, but says nothing:: TAC: Ready, D'Mera?

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

OPS: Do we know what degree of telepathic strength he possesses?

TAC_Ens_DMera says:

::Looks at Sumner with a confident nod.:: CTO: No. ::She waits a beat, then smiles.::

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: Unlisted.

XO_Cmdr_Jameson says:

::Steps onto the front PADD of the transporter, with a smile on her face, but a slight feeling of nerves, and lots of voices in her head::

ACTION The away team beams down to Janus VI into the Chief Engineer's office.

Host CO_Capt_Suder says:

OPS: Hm. Very well. ::has a sudden need to eat some chocolate::

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

::Takes some out of his station, Batarian Milk-Choc with Raspberry:

SCENE: The chocolate has melted down the side of the console.

OPS_Cdt_Orenstein says:

CO: We are trained in an anticipation. New quality of life class at Academy. ::Shifts position, awkwardly, tries to find the words.:: COI'm happy that you had me on board, Captain Suder, but...considering my profile...the boxing commendations--
