Adagio 4/11

[10:24] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Star Trek Shuttle from Adagio theme starts..it is like a midi mini of the normal theme.

[10:25] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The scene opens at the campsite with everyone packing up the gear on the shuttle and prepairing to fly to the next spot.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks over the topography maps at the next site from the initial landing scans-

[10:27] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sinez...get us ready to depart... would like to be underway within fifteen minutes.

[10:27] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren munched on a ration bar, leaning against the shuttle.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin shaded his eyes from the sun, glancing back at his name* Sure thing ma'am.  Ankos, need help there?

[10:28] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos folded the last of the tent poles and stacked them in the shuttle.* "Nah, doing fine for the moment."

[10:30] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Perfect. *he picked up some crates and took them inside the shuttle* I bet that bar is delicious.

[10:30] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Make sure you check yourself for nanoticks," *she called to the others.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Is that a real thing?" *He took out his tricorder and ran a scan on himself for any nanoparasites.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I dunno, but it sounds like the kind of shitty thing that would happen to you on a camping trip."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh thank you Sevuk.. *he helped him bring the last of the stuff inside the shuttle*

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "We're cootie-free, promise."

[10:32] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well, -I- am at least."

[10:32] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: You are welcome.

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Dibs on a window seat this time."

[10:34] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Alright commander.. I think we got everything inside.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -checks what data she has on the weather-

[10:36] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She finished her ration bar and stuffed the wrapper in her pocket.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -signals a quick check in with the Dawnstar and new intended location-

[10:37] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Stopped, looking down at his hand disapprovingly, and starting to file a nail not up to his standards.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin watched ankos file a nail*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Is everyone aboard as well?

[10:38] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: In a minute we will be.

[10:38] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren climbed aboard, making sure she got a window seat.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: After you Sevuk.

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Climbed up as well, taking another window seat.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk climbs aboard.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -does a quick confirmation scan to make sure we got everything-

[10:40] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Is the in-flight movie going to be good this time?" *she asked loudly.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sinez...if you would pilot us to our next stop.  Stay low..a few hundred meters and follow the river..it should be about 3 kilometers from here.

[10:41] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin climbed in, making his way to the helm* Okay kids.. buckle in.

[10:41] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I think I got some Yanda hospital drama on my PADD..."

[10:41] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, Maker, they're letting Kodor fly."  *She made sure her staps were tight.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -closed up all the hatches and double checks things before depature-

[10:42] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Again... *he corrected the other trill, getting the shuttle ready to depart*

[10:42] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: I would not be concerned, he is qualified.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Strapped on good as well.* "Beats walking."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I was asleep last time, I at least had the chance to die in my sleep then."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Try to fall asleep really really fast then?"

[10:43] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You were very wide awake, asking random questions about naked men to distract me..

[10:44] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, right.  You never did get back to me about those gladiator holos."

[10:44] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he looked at Xae* All good?

[10:44] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: All good...let us lift off and proceed.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he nodded. tapping a couple commands to fly the tour shuttle off to their next stop*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren kicked the back of Ankos' seat.*

[10:46] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the shuttle gently takes off and glips up to 300 meters and a slow cruising speed-

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Put on Gyre's anatomy on his PADD.* "Hey!"

[10:47] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "What?" *she asked demurely.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos reclined his seat back some.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren squinted at the back of his chair, and continued swinging her feet at it.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *For every hit, he seat would recline juuuust a bit more.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Commander Sevuk, I think Ankos is moving his chair into an unsafe position for midflight," *she commented over to the vulcan.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You two can stop it now.. It's making me nervous.. *he grinned, focusing on his console as he flew the tourshuttle*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: I do not think there are safety concerns here, as I said Commander Kodor is qualified.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Only if you get us Enjoyment Meals from the drive through."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You keep this up Sevuk and I may start blushing.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I am just resting my waist..."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Your waist doesn't need any more rest, you're already plumping up..."

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "What?!"

[10:51] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The river gentle winds ahead and eventually opens up from a valley area is a large rolling plains vista...a bit on the left up ahead some sparkyling can be seen visually in the distance-

[10:51] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Mh, on second thought, no Enjoyment Meal for Ankos."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: For anyone..*he corrected her, watching the scenery*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sinez...see the glistening off to the left a bit, please head towards it.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he made the course correction* On it ma'am.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I want a tiny burger and a Series 2 pilgrim toy...'

[10:53] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yeah, man.  Plus, some of us are eating for two."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You have any idea what it is Ma'am?

[10:54] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: As the shuttle pulls fruther form the river and closer to the glistening which takes on a more blueish hue-

[10:55] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Hm, a glacier?  Is it cold enough in this region for one?"

[10:55] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Likely crystals...there were number clusters near the main camp area where our main force gathered.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh..."

[10:57] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sure enough the as they approaoch crystalize spikes can be seen occassional jutting out from the grass.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he nodded, watching the glistening cluster from end to end*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Pretty..."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Wonder how many souls are stuck in them."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: And that? *he nodded at the metallic object*

[10:59] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks-  Something to investigate..it wold seem..it does not look far..for safety..set us down here...

[10:59] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks-  Something to investigate..it wold seem..it does not look far..for safety..set us down here...

[10:59] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin moved the shuttle to a safe landing zone*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sensors are reading is as a Xert style vessel..in part..but having trouble  getting complete readings...as if hitting intermitent null zones.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: A xert ship? Interesting.

[11:02] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Could be scan-resistant materials.  They're common enough."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -to Eren- Possible...

[11:03] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the shuttle gently decends to a complete landing.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Take a temperature reading of the site.  Is the area around the null points unusually cold?"

[11:04] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: The thermal readings seems the same....Sinez..and Sevuk..take everyone..and secure our landing site

[11:04] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Eren...stay a moment with me on the shuttle, please.

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Watches curious out the window.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Rules out a few things at least."  *She nodded, unbuckling herself but remaining seated.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Sevuk? Care to do the honors? *he spun around in the chair*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Certainly.

[11:06] [DOIC1] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk opens the hatch and heads outgu.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Heads carefully after Sevuk.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he headed out after everyone to stretch their legs a bit*

[11:08] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: (use channel 2 for outside)

[11:08] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk looks around, scanning the area.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -walks over and sits next to Eren, looking at her after everyone has left-

[11:09] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Scans the outside cautiously.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren lifted her brows at Xaelei.*  "Something I can help you with, ma'am?"

[11:09] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin glanced over to the POI and then at the others* Think we'll be able to get a much closer look?

[11:09] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Do you have a problem wiith our current assignment Sereya?

[11:09] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No idea..."

[11:10] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She blinked a moment.*  "No, ma'am?  Didn't mean to give off the impression."

[11:11] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he leaned against the shuttle, crossing his arms as he scanned the surroundings with the rest of the team* I bet you three enjoyment meals.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: I know you do not idle well when you do not feel sufficently challenged...but you just been confronted recently with your attitude and behavior while on assignment,

[11:12] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "What, for teasing the guys back there?  That's how we always banter."

[11:14] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Of course...but also presents to others spectating a different image...

[11:15] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well, maybe they need to spectate a bit more to get a clearer picture.  Besides, it's not like we were doing anything important at the time."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: And there lies the problem..your perception of important and when to reign you behavior in.

[11:17] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Her brows rose.*  "You want me to reign in my absolute mildest teasing... on a shuttle ride with just us?"

[11:18] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: What did you do in our time at the camp?

[11:19] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Took a nap, did some field work, had a ration bar?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Yes..I saw the nap...while others did tasks,,,gathered sampled..did some studies.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: I'm certain saw you...nothing important going on at the location.

[11:20] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk returns to Sinez.* It appears to be clear.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I'm failing to see the point here, ma'am."

[11:21] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It's definitely some metal vessel... about the size of a large shuttle. 6-10 people, I'd say?"

[11:22] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Of course you do not...may I ask why you opted for the science divisions while in Academy?

[11:22] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Thank you Sevuk. let's wait for the commander to finish up inside for her next orders. *to Ankos* It still look operational?

[11:22] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Okay, ma'am?  I can appreciate you trying to have the whole 'you need to do better' chat with me, but I literally came on this ride to help continue this expedition, and if you'd rather me sit here..

[11:23] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Cannot say for sure... it's the same null zones from the readings."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: and tell you my pointless fucking story that you can already read in my personnel file, we can do that, sure.  But it's going to be counterproductive to what you're trying to do now."

[11:24] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: This is the direction you wish the conversation to go then?

[11:24] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Oh i hope we don't get into trouble if we do go closer..

[11:25] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "No, I want the conversation to be over so I can actually get some work done."

[11:25] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: More napping?

[11:26] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Why did the entire behavior issue blow up on the captain..and why was I not involved from the start when you felt...whatever you felt about your work here?

[11:26] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: `

[11:27] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I'm not an engineer or something, so... I can't help too much, I think, sorry."

[11:27] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "If that's your order, ma'am."  *She pinched the bridge of her nose lightly.*  "It didn't blow up on the captain, it blew up on that damn snake lady and rightfully so!"

[11:28] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: And when did becomes the authority on such matters?

[11:28] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: No it's not. but we're tagging along to make sure everyone's safe. That's our job. *he pointed at Sev and himself*Just speculating at the risks.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: and I want to know why I have to find out second hand you dissatified with your assignment in MY science team.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Maker..."  *She shook her head.*  "What the fuck was I going to say?  'Hey, Ada does literally everything for us and we're pretty much pointless!'  Like you didn't already know that."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: You seem great at telling everyone else whatever your feeling.

[11:33] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "As of right now... I think it's pretty inactive, Maybe?"

[11:33] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yeah, well there's that thing about the perceptions of spectators again."  *She sighed.*  "Look.  I'm not trying to be a problem child, but all things considered my behaviour since the incident has..

[11:34] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: been pretty good, save for the teasing.  I just want to do what I was sent here to do."

[11:34] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No power sources I can tell being active."

[11:34] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Right.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Seemingly how we are all pointless..and Ada does everything, not even sure why we are here...

[11:35] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Maker, you know what I mean."

[11:36] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: We'll get answers soon I feel. *he scratched his chin*

[11:36] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Well...perhaps if you truly wish to make am improvement in your situation..try soemthing other than...tehe old thing...it is not working.

[11:37] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Clearly," *she said dryly.*

[11:38] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I guess... I'm kinda curious."

[11:40] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: As curious as Sevuk when he says curious? *he chuckled*

[11:40] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: Bring your tricorder and a sample kit.

[11:40] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yes, ma'am."

[11:40] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Maybe a bit more?"

[11:41] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -gather her own gear and waits for Eren to be ready.

[11:41] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he quirked a brow* Interesting.

[11:41] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren collected her kit and tricorder, standing from her seat.*

[11:41] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: After you Sereya..I will close up the shuttle.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She nodded and headed over to descend the landing ramp.*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -decends right after her and closes the hatch-

[11:42] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks over to Sinez-  Report of the area?

[11:43] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: It's clear. Scans are the same as well.. We're going for that closer look now?

[11:43] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Yes, that is the plan.

[11:44] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "About 500m to it, no power... just an old shuttle, I Guess?"

[11:44] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he nodded at them both* Well, lead on then ma'am.

[11:44] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk nods.*

[11:44] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "We'll see about that."  *She fiddled with her tricorder.*

[11:44] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Very good, -starts walking in the directions of the readings ahead-

[11:45] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Follows and scans.*

[11:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren followed, running a general area scan as they approached.*

[11:46] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk follows, keeping a close eye on the area.*

[11:47] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Metallic object, definitely Xert specs.  Carbon scoring on the surface, and..."  *She paused, double checking the readings.*  "I'm also getting something off the crystals.  It's an energy sigature...

[11:47] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: very similar to the Adagio's crystal."

[11:48] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The scene shows the teams together walking on a seas of waving tall grass as they are climbing a hill-

[11:48] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: No lifesigns or movement aside from the flora and fauna?

[11:48] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Scales the hill slowly, not looking up from scans too much, trying to be careful.*

[11:51] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I'm not detecting any from this---"  *She trailed off a moment, pausing in place as she looked over her shoulder into the distance.*

[11:51] [DOIC1] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks back noticing Eren stopping-  Everything alright?

[11:51] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: You good there Eren?

[11:51] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks back noticing Eren stopping-  Everything alright?

[11:52] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Her gaze dropped down to the ground.*  "Uh... y-yeah."  *She walked a bit faster now, still eyeing the ground as if it was going to grab her.*  "I'm not reading any, uh, lifesigns..."

[11:53] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -nods slowly and turns back to proceeding-

[11:55] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The teams is rounding up the top of the hill they are on..and see a tips of a cystal spikes glowing blue..coming more into view as the reach the top

[11:56] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: At the hill summit the crystal cluster in full view and near it..what looks like a scorched shuttle mass wreckage

[11:56] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Damn..."

[11:56] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Had to hurt..

[11:57] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren sucked in a breath, trying to calm her nerves as she looked down at the wreckage.*

[11:57] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: It the wreckage looks somewhat recent...maybe some days or weeks..they are some ghastly looking ematidted clawed figures strewn on the ground near the wreck.

[11:59] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Scans the corpses.*

[11:59] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked briefly at Ankos, then started right down the hill toward the figures.*

[11:59] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The are clear visible signs of "dark energy" on shuttle and figured furtherst from the crystals...but parts closer.missing the dark energy pattern

[12:00] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Modified Xert... the brainwashed ones we fought..."

[12:00] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She stopped a few meters away from the dark energy debris.*  "This is probably what we couldn't get a reading on."

[12:00] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin cautiously followed the others* The wreckage looks recent..

[12:00] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -to Eren- Agreed...

[12:00] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -looks at things closer to the crystals-

[12:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "The crystals seem to have... cleansed it from the parts it came into contact with?  Or absorbed it, perhaps?"

[12:02] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: One of the figures on the ground...its right clawed arm and head and silvery skin colored of a Xert...whiel the rest looks like the grims ghasts the crew was forced to fight.

[12:02] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he furrowed his brow at the sight*

[12:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It does look newer..."

[12:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren grimaced.*  "To die halfway free of the darkness... how terrible."

[12:03] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Let get some tissue samples...some samples from the wreckage and take care.

[12:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I'll take the tissue, Ma'am."

[12:03] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: They were almost there.. I mean, look at their homeworld.

[12:04] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren nodded, opening her kit and handing the tissue collector to Ankos.*

[12:04] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Eren and takes it, putting the gloves from his first aid kit on, and going to collect the tissues, closing the eyes of the dead as he does so.*

[12:04] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -to Eren- Let us hope it was a moment and freedom and respite in his or her final moment..

[12:06] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks some, closing his eyes, his mental guards falling for a moment, a small wave of dread emanating from Ankos for a moment.*

[12:06] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: I will call this in to the Dawnstar to corrdinate with local athorities.

[12:06] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I do hope so, ma'am."  *She reached to take another sample kit, pausing a moment as she stared down at the ground.*

[12:06] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sesvuk blinks.*

[12:07] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Takes a few moments to compose himself, putting his mental guards up again, and continuing his work.*

[12:07] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin gently cleared his throat while he scratched the back of his neck*

[12:08] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren bristled a bit, sucking in a breath through gritted teeth as she forced herself over to the crystalline structures near the downed craft.*

[12:08] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Freezes for a short moment while taking a sample, eyes closing, and after a few deep breaths, continues.*

[12:09] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: It is said the crystals resonate feeling and memory.

[12:09] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he stepped back from the group, watching the shuttle from his vantage point just slightly above the site*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Wish they'd change the channel," *she muttered as she collected samples from the shuttle.*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He would eventually make his way back up to the others, to place the samples carefully in their carrier.* "Tissue samples are done, Ma'am..."

[12:11] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Whoever fired, one hell of a shot.. *he commented*

[12:13] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: If it is this close...likely it wear brought down by the Awakened defenders..they act as second and final line for whatever makes it through the Avynei forces.

[12:14] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: There are some native Xert brave enough to take up arms..but...unstandbly...that is undesired they fight these particualar adversaies if it can be avoided.

[12:14] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...What are we to do now, Commander? Wait for the authorities or try to look for the shooter?"

[12:14] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he flexed his hand down by his side* They're probably long gone by now Ankos..

[12:14] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren eyed the crystal a moment, deciding against trying to chip any off and instead looking for any smaller pieces on the ground.*

[12:17] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -to Ankos..we will wait for authorities to arrive and take over the scene.

[12:17] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander."

[12:18] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Ma'am, I have the metallic samples, but I'm not seeing any smaller crystals.  And I have a feeling trying to chip something off the larger pillars would be a certified Very Bad Idea."

[12:18] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She called up the slope.*

[12:18] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Hey, Ankos, you keeping an eye on the body?"  *She pointed.*

[12:18] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: It would...I doubt we could anyway if we wanted to.

[12:19] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Watching it, Eren, looks very very dead."

[12:19] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well yes, but it's looking more silvery.  Like the shadow part's retracting more."

[12:19] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Aaaaaah... but one of the other ones is starting to... Yea."

[12:20] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Least they'll be able to look like a true xert when they're put to rest.

[12:21] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well... would it be possible to, you know, reboot them?"  *She looked down at her tricorder.*  "Uh... that's weird."

[12:21] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I... have no idea. I have never had to work with Xert physiology..." *he'd approach and check.*

[12:22] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Right where the corrupt Xert meets the natural Xert, I'm getting a null reading on the tricorder.  Be careful, Counselor."

[12:22] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He'd try and scan the body's physiological proccesses, see if it's "Active" in any way.*

[12:23] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Very odd...perhaps whatever reaction in taking place is causing dificulties in our intruments?

[12:24] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Must be... Counselor, try nudging his corrupt half closer to the crystals."

[12:24] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "In the restored, silver part, it seems some of the native nanites are interacting and working together..."

[12:24] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *He watched those that were near the crash site with curiosity*

[12:25] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He tried to nudge the corrupt half a bit closer to the nice shiny crystal.*

[12:26] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: That was rather quick. *he looked up at the horizon*

[12:26] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: Incoming you guys.

[12:26] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren glanced up where Sin was looking.*

[12:26] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk looks up at the horizon as well.*

[12:26] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -even with the bit of a nudge...it is easy to witness the closer the proxmity of the crystal the more acclerated the restoration process in the body

[12:27] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: `

[12:27] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You got it, Eren... Nanites are working faster and faster the closer they are to the crystal. Commander, permsision to physically drag the body closer?"

[12:29] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Yep, I'm going to have my summer house right here, I think."

[12:29] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Can the body be moved without damage?

[12:30] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: I rather not get overal zealous Ankos...

[12:30] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hard to tell, Doctor... I'd give it a few more minutes of regeneration first, just to be safe?"

[12:31] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: (Commander*)

[12:31] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "The tissue is reverting to its natural state... getting some great data."  *She nodded to Ankos.*

[12:31] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "That's pretty good, I hope?"

[12:31] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Gather the information we can while the  Awakened take over securing the site

[12:32] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yes, ma'am."  *She kept recording.*

[12:32] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -gusting winds and a low engine hum indicate the Awakened shuttle is landing nearby-

[12:33] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Raises his hand to greet the Borgs.*

[12:33] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin stood up from his crouched position, watching the shuttle land*

[12:33] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -some waves back in uncharactically emotive fashion-

[12:34] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Xaelei goes to greet the arriving team-

[12:35] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -after a brief exchange Xaelei and the 5 others come over-

[12:36] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: This is Shepard...he and his team will be taking over the site for us. -as she introduces him-

[12:37] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shepard -> Thank you for loccating them for us. we will see they are taken care of.

[12:38] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *he nodded at Shepard, glancing back at the crash site once again*

[12:38] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Shepard bends down near the body Eren and Ankos have been observing-

[12:38] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Great to know.  At this rate they may even make a full recovery."

[12:39] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hopefully."

[12:40] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shepard -> Perhaps, at the very least they will be restored...as to if any recover, it is not...impossible.

[12:41] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "'Not impossible' may very well be this galaxy's catchphrase, Shepard."

[12:43] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shepard smiles ->  We will watch for how the nanites respond...in most cases..but like your own bacteria...a decompistions process will happen...in a rare few..it is possible they recover.

[12:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Of course..."  *She eyed the crystal again.*  "Well, you seem to have this under control then."

[12:45] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the Awakened bring out gear and stretches and small anti grav unit to gentle start picking up the bodies-

[12:46] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "If I can make a recommendation, though?  Keep them near the crystals... just a little while longer, while the darkness burns off them."

[12:46] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shepard -> We do..and thank you again, it was most fortunate you had found them.

[12:47] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Shepard.* "Thank you for taking care of them, SIr."

[12:47] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shepard -> We take every available opportunity we can to restore the Xert...even if the circumstances of thier return was less than peaceful.

[12:49] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Xaelei -> We take out leave then and hope the best for them.

[12:49] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -nods to her team to gather up and head out-

[12:49] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren nodded.*  "As well you should."  *She went to head back to the team.*

[12:50] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the Awakened team smile and wave as the party departs back to thier shuttle-

[12:50] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin followed the gang , glancing back at the crystal one final time*\

[12:50] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Nodded and waved.*

[12:51] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Xaelei leads the team back to the shuttle thus ending the offical episode for tonight

[12:51] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Counselor, I'll have the scans I took sent along to medical if your nerds want to pick through the biological processes at work in the bodies."

[12:52] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, send them over and I'll get them up."

[12:53] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -to Sereya-  The transformation of the tissue is incredible..but...something else is equally and wonderouos and odd...

[12:53] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "The crystals, ma'am?"

[12:54] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Maybe...more to how does the reaction even know what to restore the tissue and objects to in the first place?

[12:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Perhaps it's not restoring it so much as just sucking the corruption out of whatever it comes into contact with.  It did the same to the bodies and the hull of the vessel."

[12:56] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Interesting....did we observe such an energy direction flow to confirm the theory?

[12:57] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I didn't pick one up, but the accuracy of my readings with the crystal is questionable at best.  Not to mention when we moved the body closer to the crystal, the rate at which it was being restored..

[12:58] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: increased.  Which may indicate an increased absorbtion rate, but not definitively."

[12:59] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Indeed.  I believe the Avynei also mentions these crystals are multidimensional...it could explain why some parts of the effect were reading as null..like they we not even fully in our dimension.

[1:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Maybe.  The other question is, what happened to the corruption?  Is it nullified, or being stored in the crystals?  Could there be a finite amount they can absorb before they are overwhelmed?"

[1:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Sorry.  I'll leave it for the report, I could go on."

[1:01] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Just shrugs.* "All I know is they make the nanites go mad fast."

[1:02] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: No..it good to postulate on the scene...just make sure to take some notes to share with the team..and I sure Skye will want to get involved.

[1:02] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -they arrive back on to the shuttle-
