Pilgrim 9/3

[8:57] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: everyone remembered to bring your healing potions right

[8:59] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *

[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * We open on a shot of the U.S.S. Enigma drifting in orbit above an overcast planet.  As the camera moves away from the ship’s hull, it plunges through the cloud coverage, showing a massive...

[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: continent sprawling with thick coniferous forests atop mountainous terrain as far as the eye could see.  Deep blue rivers snaked out across the land like veins from the snow caps, draining into an...

[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ocean too far to the east to even be seen from that tremendous height.  As the camera comes closer it passed through the small natural paths that had been worn over centuries by the wildlife.  Soon...

[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: it came across Ensign Theodore Darling, intently studying a fungal cluster on one of the conifers as Ensign Teir stood nearby with a bland expression.  It passed them unceremoniously to break upon a..

[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: small site that had been cleared on the side of one of the mountains, containing three shuttles and a few temporary shelters that were in the process of being erected.  Moving through the camp one...

[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: could see a small opening in the side of the mountain where Ensigns Zohle and Ellis were in the midst of a muted conversation before T’Pang’s voiceover could be heard… *

[9:04] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Stardate 96567.07 The Enigma has arrived at LMC-3140-31 and our teams are assembling the base camp along with out temporary shelters. So far everything has gone smoothly...

[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: The camp is conveniently located near a cave entrance leading to some of the archeological sites. this should make exploration more convenient. Additionally teams are also busy collecting samples ...

[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: from the local evironment. We may as well avail ourselves of the opportunity to explore this place completely. End Log.

[9:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shuts off the log recorder and places it in her back pack.--

[9:06] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor was hanging close to the cave entrance, running scans.*

[9:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "...too dangerous to just beam everyone down almost a full kilometer into an unknown and uncharted cave system!"

[9:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "But could a probe make the descent before us, do you think?"

[9:07] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --surveys the local terrain.--

[9:08] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *walks up to t'ghor.*

[9:09] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --smells the fresh mountain air.--

[9:09] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Have you discovered anything intriguing yet T'ghor?

[9:09] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A small, furry creature scampered across a branch, nibbling on what appeared to be a nut.*

[9:09] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Sits inside of a shuttle, hand resting on a console as she connects to the orbiting Enigma.*

[9:10] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nothing you would find too intriguing. The usual things one finds on a new planet. The interesting stuff is likely in the cave, a few layers beneath where we are right now. No traces of veracysium, >

[9:10] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang say the rodent and her hand instictively went toward her phaser, but she stopped before drawing it.--

[9:10] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: 'But the cave is very deep, I would not be surprised if there is a lot eluding our scans."

[9:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think Miss Zohle qualifies as an expert in the subject.

[9:11] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If this was an abandoned mine it would stand likely that all of the mineral would be extracted.

[9:11] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps that is a blessing as it may allow us to better map the caves without scan interference.

[9:11] [DOIC4] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin pulled out an equipment crate and let out a huge breath* Whew..

[9:12] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That was what I was about to say. It -is- a mine, almost certainly. There are tons of very deep cave sysetms, almost organized in a way. "

[9:12] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She blushed lightly.*  "Well, it would definitely be safer to send a probe ahead of us."

[9:12] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The ancient Irushey dug these galleries many millenia ago."

[9:12] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Creature]  *It nibbled its snack, not seeming even remotely threatened by the camp or T'Pang.*

[9:13] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Should be interesting to see. Are the caverns large enough for us?

[9:13] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: (( pathways nto caverns))

[9:13] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang glared at the rodent for a moment before turning and heading back to camp.--

[9:14] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Something went THUNK! on the back of T'Pang's head.*

[9:14] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not quite sure yet. I agree with Zohle on sending a probe inside firs.t"

[9:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I want to go how deep it goes, and how big the part that is meant to be walked is."

[9:15] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Hey, dummy, you gonna move that stuff into the tent or what?"  *She called to Istrin.*

[9:15] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Ellis.

[9:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Yes, sir?"

[9:15] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: See Zohle has what she needs to prep the probe.

[9:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she feesl the back of her head and turns to look at the likely source of the offending object.--

[9:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Yes, sir."  *She and Zohle headed down the slope toward the camp.*

[9:16] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was what appeared to be the cap of the nut the creature had been eating on the ground behind her.  The creature had disappeared.*

[9:16] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dollowing along at the rear, trying to pay as much attention to her footing and the surrounding as to her tricorder.*

[9:16] [DOIC4] Istrin@the5of435: ...*he got up, bent over to pick the crate up and began carrying it off* Oh, of course!

[9:16] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smiled a moment then turned back to T'ghor*

[9:17] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang shakes her head-- "unpleasant creatures."

[9:17] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads off on the path back to camp.--

[9:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Switches tricorder settings around a bit.* "I will try to find any traces of non-federation technology, something is bound to have been left behind, I doubt they dug that deep using only pickaxes."

[9:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Scanny-scans.*

[9:18] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The climate is better here than on the other irushuy world.

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *At the camp, Rhys was looking dour as usual as he conferred with Talyse from the Enigma.*

[9:18] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "If we prove it is Irushey, perhaps we could give it back to them."

[9:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads into camp, looking over her PADD for the teams agenda for the day.--

[9:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We do not have enough Irushey to settle this place down properly."

[9:19] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "One day, we will get back to that ice rock and get them off of it."

[9:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will need to get down deeper to perform good scans, but there is quite a lot of wildlife..."

[9:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sends the scans of the animals to Otsuka to play with.*

[9:19] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It would seem the world is recovering from its past potentially.

[9:20] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Zohle and Ellis arrived in the shuttle.*

[9:20] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Any way to determine the age of the initial cutting of the tunnels?

[9:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It would not be the first or last time something like that happens.'

[9:20] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Lieutenant Vaylith?  We're going to be sending a probe into the cave system, would you be able to assist?"

[9:20] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Explain?"

[9:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is... probable, but I have to have Jagoda's expertise on it too when we enter."

[9:21] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia pauses to put on a pair of gloves to protect her hands.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads to the command tent, to monitor the teams remotely--

[9:21] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "We're sending a probe into the cave ahead of us to determine if it's safe to go in, and if there's a place we can mark to beam in instead of going down almost a kilometer on foot."

[9:21] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin carried the crate into camp and set it down next to the others* Whew..

[9:21] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Understood. Where do you request my assistance in the task?"

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --on her way by T'Pang looks at the crates and then at Istrin-- "Thos crates need to go to the supply tent."

[9:22] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Well, uh, I figured you'd be pretty good at connecting with it and moving it through the tunnels?"

[9:22] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I will comply."

[9:23] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She nodded, going to get the probe out of storage and begin setting it up.*

[9:23] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Are you picking up any distortions that Might be remaining Vera...elder obsidian?"

[9:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No.

[9:24] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Likely mined before they abandoned world.

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He barked at Istrin.*  "Oy, get your hair out of your face, you look like a jackass!"

[9:24] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Is this computer terminal acceptable as command and control position for the probe?"

[9:24] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No, almost certainly so. If this place was old enough, it might have... "evolved" already."

[9:24] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Sure..."  *She said as she worked.*

[9:24] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin bend back down and carried them off to the tent* Yes sir!

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  *He trampled back into camp with a sample container full of mushrooms and a huge smile on his face.*

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads into the command tent and checks the status display.--

[9:26] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Sets up the control interface and connection access for the probe*

[9:26] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he stretches a bit*

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The command tent's status display showed a general map of the area and a little red dot deep underground where the remains had been found.*

[9:27] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Okay, I think we're ready... let's haul this little guy out."

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ---togglesthrough the remote sensor platforms.--

[9:27] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She helped Zohle pick up the probe and carry it outside.*

[9:27] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Hopefully probe will illuminate method of entry.

[9:27] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Connecting to it now."

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A heat scan showed hundreds of little dots all around them.  Some were alarmingly large.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin set the crate down in the tent, looking around briefly*

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "there is a significant number of life form readings."

[9:28] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I cannot help but wonder. If Veracysium is fossilized red blight... I can see this planet being a prime target for the red blight. But the previous ne, where we met the Irushey? How long does the >

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sends and advisory out to the teams to remain cautious, as they don't know if any of the creatures are dangerous or not.--

[9:29] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Entire cycle take, if that planet ever had more significant life on it..." *Huffs some air out his nostrils.*

[9:29] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Controll estabelished."

[9:29] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We have seen a cooling effect affectign climate.

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She called into the shuttle.*  "Okay, letting the probe go!"

[9:30] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps they seed after completion

[9:30] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia syncs the sensor pads of the gloves to her tricorder, and links the tricorder to her display.  Setting a link to their network for additional data feed from the probe that will be sent.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe sprang to life, hovering above the ground.*

[9:30] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Turn the soil so to speak and see it renewed for later harvest.

[9:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That is my thought, Aquila. Once a world has been proven to be a good bed for the blight and the veracysium... what if they allow it to regrow..

[9:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, exactly."

[9:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --notes the sudden telemetry from a probe some on line.--

[9:31] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Farming remains the same no matter the crop.

[9:31] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Moves the probe around, trying its axis of turning, as well as movement in various direction*

[9:31] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "A macabre thought, but a true one."

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe suddenly veered a bit too much to the side and smacked into the hull of the shuttle.*

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Dammit!"

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang frowns at that.--

[9:32] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I hate to say this, while it seems to be composed of all living matter, I can't shake the feeling that it gets it's kick from sentient lives.  I don't believe we are in danger fo the blight being >

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Ah... I can fix it!!  I think..."  *She hurried over to check the little probe.*

[9:32] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: sent here while we are here.  Maybe dormant example from a long time ago."

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  =/\= "Um, Zohle to Zorin!  Could you, er, help me out a little with the probe?  if you're not busy?"

[9:33] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is still a possibility to be wary of until we have confirmation otherwise."

[9:33] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *writes  a quick program addition for the probe to help with situation it do not recieve the control surface return to normal code as it should due to inlup signal loss*

[9:33] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: There is still so much yet unknown about new revelation of origin. Perhaps even specific genetic makeup of catlyst species is required.

[9:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He gave a roll of his eyes and stomped off toward the cave opening.*

[9:35] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked into the entry.*

[9:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He got up there, barking to Li.*  "Hey!  You going to do your job or just pawn it off on your ensign?"

[9:36] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "T'Ghor to Jagoda, can you come over to my location, I got something I want us to check out, seems the probe is slacking off."

[9:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Certainly.

[9:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  =/\= "Fiine..."

[9:37] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "What was that?"

[9:37] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin went to go look busy for Rhys*

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --taps her comm badge-- =/\=Captain T'Pang to Lieutenant Vaylith.=/\=

[9:37] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  =/\= "...Fine, sir."

[9:37] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *shakes his head a moment*

[9:37] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia puts a spare communicator in a deep pocket, then checks her medical kit, and makes sure all is secure including her weapon and back up power cell for it."

[9:37] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Good."

[9:37] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith recieving."

[9:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A clacking sound could be heard from the distance.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=What is the status of the probe, I am getting some unusual readings from it.=/\=

[9:38] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Raises an eyebrow, looking in the direction of the sound.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li makes his way over to the group.*

[9:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jagoda was bounding toward them from the other side of the mountain with a sack of rocks bouncing in his hand.*

[9:39] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "It is being maintained due to colission. Specify reading abnormality?"

[9:39] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *hand falls to his rifle then lingers a moment and falls away*

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Thank you, Li... we, uh, the probe turned on and then just flipped into the shuttle hull."

[9:40] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Points to the entrance of the cave.* "You're the specialist, Jagoda. Does this formation seem artificial to you?"

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=The telemtry reads a navigational error...have they tried turning it off and back on again?=/\=

[9:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He set his bag of rocks down, looking curiously at the opening.*  "Hmm... it's hard to tell for sure, it's very old and it's clearly been worn down by weather..."  *He stuck his head in.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It did what?

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "It flew into the shuttle."  *She shrugged.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads to the replicatro for some tea.--

[9:41] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor headed down alongside him.* "I want to try and date it, I am almost certain it is the entrance of an old mine. Thought you might want some samples and to compare data with your other findings.

[9:41] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "No, the drone has not been offlined. It is being updated with a new navigation input algorithm to prevent it from continuing a non standard manuver if the package to reset control surfaces is >

[9:41] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Who turned the probe on?

[9:41] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > lost, ma'am."

[9:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Ah..."  *He shone his flashlight inside.*  "Well, I'll tall you right now, boss, this isn't a natural opening.  Look how straight it is, angling downward... this is a mine shaft.  Or was."

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "...I did.  But it's connected to Lieutenant Vaylith's console."

[9:43] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *Marcus followed behind them* Cut or blasted?

[9:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks at the light's direction.* "Oh, definitely."

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood Vaylith, let me know if you are not going to be able to get it online, we would have to rethink out plans.=/\=

[9:43] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Cut, if it was blasted it's be much more irregular."

[9:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I think it was cut, but..."

[9:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Jagoda.* "Good, then we are in agreement"

[9:44] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It would be consistent with gifted technologies. Also may prove more stable.

[9:44] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Come on, some samples from this should help us narrow down the age." *He knocked at the rock of the entrane next to him.*

[9:44] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Understood."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Did you make any inputs into it?

[9:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Not to mention blowing up veracysium is... well, extremely difficult, as you've all seen."

[9:44] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he watched the scientist work* Indeed.

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "No, I just set it up..."

[9:45] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Started work on geting a small sample for his scanny things to work on to try and determine the age.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She cleared her throat.*  "Maybe you need to talk to Lieutenant Vaylith about it?"

[9:46] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The age of the remains is also important. The entrance will tell us when they got here, but enoug remains, and we can put in a comprehensive timeline."

[9:46] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia is making the beginnings of an offline record of location mapping so she could find her way back if they lose networking.*

[9:46] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yea..." *He handed his sample off to Jagoda.* "Think you can make more sense of it?"

[9:46] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *puts on his combat information glasses*

[9:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "It's reading about the same age as the other rocks I collected, boss.  No real way of telling when it was fragmented."

[9:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Crap, I had hoped for particles or the like from the equipment they used to cut... very well, thanks. Feel free to keep the sample."

[9:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Zorin to Lieutenant Vaylith. Have you made any modifications to the probe?

[9:48] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That probe seems overdue.

[9:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I want to look for remains of a rail or something else they may have used to ferry the veracysium up..." *Frowned, staring into the mine, clearly surpressign the urge to go in.*

[9:48] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "I have done so now."

[9:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "If it was cut with the mining lasers we found on the first world, I doubt it'd leave residue."

[9:49] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: One moment.

[9:49] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You think the technology is that ancient?"

[9:49] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he steps out of the cave face*

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sits down in a chair in front of teh display.--

[9:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= It flew into the shuttle.

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I have no idea.  But it'd be in keeping with the whole 'everything's millions of years old' LMC tradition."

[9:49] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "I am aware."

[9:49] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Aquila to Actual, Permission to perform security reconaisance of the cave mouth, perhaps 100 meters at maximum?

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "...So are we going to turn it on again or just stare at it?"

[9:51] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *huffs back a chuckle.* "Ain't it the truth?"

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Has the science team performa scan of the cave mouth? Do they feel the risk level is low enough for such?=/\=

[9:51] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Scans have been performed, I wish to investigate potential obstruction with Visual Confirmation.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Is it ready to be turned on again?

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, permision granted. But, proceed with caution.=/\=

[9:52] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Understood Actual, Aquila out.

[9:52] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia makes sure they all have a few chemical light sticks for emergency.*

[9:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Guess that's our cue."  *He bellowed down the mountainside.*  "ISTRIN!  GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!"

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she starts to monitor the team at the cave as they prepare for the recon.=/\=

[9:53] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he returns into the cave mouth.* Cleared for 100 meter recon. Perhaps we find that extraction vector.

[9:53] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "I am awaiting assessment and eventual ammendments by Ensign Zohle. I have no reason from here to state it is not ready, Lieutenant."

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((but she did not broadcast that bit of narration--

[9:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Aquila, then heads in some, shining his light on the ceiling, floor and walls, looking for irregular shapes or anythign that suggests something else being there once.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, lookign over to the pair.* She's waiting for you.

[9:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She facepalmed and just hit the button.*

[9:54] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he turned on his weapon light and takes point*

[9:55] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I remember San saying the machines collected it, then the benefactors collected the machines, returning them empty.  I would doubt there is a rail for removal of ore if this was a mine for them."

[9:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The drone came to life and started moving at Vaylith's command.*

[9:55] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --notes as the probe telemetry comes back on line.--

[9:55] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin grabbed his own gear and booked it over to the voice*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he started moving in*

[9:56] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Retries to basic tests of the controsl respocniveness and fuction*

[9:56] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do not forget, ways of doing business change with time. We are not sure how much time ago this place was worked on, so who knows if the methods were 100% the same. No possibility should be discounted

[9:56] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Smiles at her HUD glasses show the probe live again*

[9:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "There you fucking are.  I'm taking point, stay with the nerds."  *He stormed in.*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he nodded and stayed back with the not-nerds* Yes sir..

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe did as ordered.*

[9:57] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith to Captain T'Pang. Probe ready to proceed."

[9:57] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3radp0y5FFs begins as the party enters the spooky cave... *

[9:57] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he chuckled as he saw rhys's IFF appearing on his six rapidly approaching*

[9:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods as the probe seem more well behaved now.--

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Acknowledged Lieutenant, telemetry looks good from here.=/\=

[9:58] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor would head in as deep as the 100m invisible wall allowed him.*

[9:58] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he scaned his path, starting low and up with the light and hud*

[9:58] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Permission to proceed down the tunnel?"

[9:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He clicked his flashlight on, going in front of T'Ghor as they descended to a three-way split in the path.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=You are clear to proceed Lieutenant.=/\=

[9:58] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Well. Left right or middle?

[9:58] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Guide the probe in to the cave*

[9:59] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Crap." *He ran his tricorder to see which tunnel ran deepest.*

[9:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The brave little probe floated up behind the party.*

[9:59] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin stayed close near the not-nerds, keeping his head on a swivel*

[9:59] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *marcus motioned for the probe to take the left hand path.*

[9:59] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *To he probe.* "There you are... Whoever's controlling you, give me a visual feed to my wrist PADD."

[9:59] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Checking the combined scanning from their multiple networked devices are being merged as they move forward, using this as a test.*

[10:00] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Right or middle, let us not test the gods.

[10:00] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Takes a peek in to each of the divergences to get a scan going, adding T'Gor to the broadcast recepients*

[10:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Fuck it, I say middle."

[10:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The scans are uncertain at best. I want us to take the right."

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sits back and sips her tea--

[10:01] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Or whatever, let us go with the middle. I will keep an eye on the probe's progress on the left tunnel."

[10:01] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nods and moves down the middle path*

[10:01] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He looks on at the probe's progress.*

[10:01] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I would have to agree with archeology expert on this one, but.. *she stops as he changes his mind*

[10:02] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "50% of arcaeology is improvising."

[10:02] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Flies down the right path*

[10:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He eyed the probe as it shot off to the right, leading them to the middle path.*

[10:02] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin looked at the others and waited for them to move onward*

[10:03] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Did we not send that down the left.

[10:03] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Did you learn your archeology skills from a Doctor Henry Jones?"

[10:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Headed after Rhys, keeping up his curious study of the cave.*

[10:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We did, but whoever is controlling it has another idea."

[10:03] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Well perhaps it will have luck.

[10:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Those looking at the super scanner from the probe would see it had detected water and life forms.*

[10:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You'd be surprised how much his methods come in handy sometimes, Doctor."

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --watches the feed from the probe with interest,--

[10:04] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hey, the probe has got water and life forms in the right tunnel."

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "interesting...I hope it isn't more of those nasty rodents."

[10:05] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe coasted through a steadily narrowing tunnel until it came out on a large chamber, lined with stalagmites and stalagtites.  Fungus was growing in abundance here, and as the light shone...

[10:05] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Locking her tricoder to her belt she trusts her HUD to feed her the multiple data overlays, and object highlights while she watchs her footing.*

[10:05] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: over the water it revealed little pale, eyeless fish.*

[10:05] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Connects her wrist mounted PADD to the computer terminals program so she can remote it, getting up and walks over to the command tent, her right palm resting over the wrist PADD. with the probe >

[10:05] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The probe is now in a large, almost certainly artificial chamber... I think the right tunnel was the way to go indeed."

[10:06] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > commign to the large chamber she sets it to take a series of scans as she moves*

[10:06] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *mutters to herself*  'I hope he hasn't seen temple of doom'

[10:06] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps, But you do not simply dig a space for the sake of it. Unless they were having to do exploratory mining.

[10:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Meanwhile, the middle tunnel was slowly getting smaller, the markings on the walls considerably less smooth.*

[10:06] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This is not the tunnel we need. Pull back, people."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Waks in to the command tent* "Ma'am."

[10:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He crouched down to take a little sample from the wall.*

[10:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We check the left one, and if it's a dead end like this one, we head right."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he stops* Are you certain?

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Oh Vaylith, good job with the probe. we are getting some great images."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he looked back at T'ghor*

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sips her tea--

[10:07] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Understood."

[10:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They would have dug in a whole lot more to get them big mining lasers inside, if this tunel had anything more going for it."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "This is becoming more interesting to me... not machined is better for data I would thing."

[10:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They could not fit them in here."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *think*

[10:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I wonder what the purpose of this chamber is?"

[10:08] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We can gather data later. What is important now is that we map out the system to its deepest end, and hopefully, to the Irushey remains."

[10:08] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe's scanner went out, its little beam of light the only thing shining in the vast subterranean vault.  The scanner showed several tunnels branching off from it.*

[10:09] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Very well, Istrin you have point lead us back to the fork.

[10:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Hey, hey, I'm getting something... someone used a stone tool here, I think."

[10:09] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Would the irushey be living in the tunnel they were mining? or build their own burrows?

[10:09] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Hold.

[10:09] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: Yes sir. *He nodded then stopped short*

[10:09] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Stone tools?" *He raised an eyebrow, crouching next to Jagoda to check.*

[10:10] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment that the tunnel so far has been natural or adaptation of natural, the further branchings here are clearly created, ma'am."

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Yes, sir, there's fragments that don't match the makeup of the cave."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods at what Vay Vay says-- "interesting."

[10:10] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor blinks, confirming what Jagoda said.* "Do you know what that means?" *He is now clearly excited.*

[10:10] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *looking at the combined scan feed for any organics*

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "This probably leads to an ancient Irushey toilet?"

[10:11] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Flies the probe to scan in to the variosu forkings*

[10:11] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "or burrial zone."

[10:12] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. The usage of stone tools, instead of the lasers, may suggest this specific tunnel is older... If the doctor is correct and the Irushey lived underground... Well, it may be remains of ancient >

[10:12] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Irushey. Before their.. 'benefactors" Came and gave them the technology."

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She grabbed Li's arm and dragged him to the command tent.*  "Come on, we should see what the probe's picking up."

[10:13] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *turns back down the tunnel* Or they were left after the benefactors left. Leaving them to die and they had to falll back on their old ways.

[10:13] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Which could explain the branching tunnels.  they may have guided the machines around their ancient home ouf ot respect."

[10:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sips her tea and watches the feeds.--

[10:13] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Who knows? Let us go and check the left tunnel too, before heading after the probe."

[10:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The little probe flew down one of the tunnels, finding it to be quite straight and smooth like the entrance had been, eventually finding its way to a massive, empty pit.  A few animals scurried...

[10:14] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he looked at Rhys for confirmation before heading out*

[10:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: about, scared off by the light.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, following right behind her.* Hopefully it maintains connection.

[10:14] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "We were cleared for 100 meters, I say we take full advantage while the probe maps deeper."

[10:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Yeah, let's go."

[10:14] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin lead the way!*

[10:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I believe the probe found the actual mine."

[10:15] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *Turns to follow them out*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Scans the animals for the sciency folks*

[10:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is over an enormous, strip-mined pit."

[10:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The animals read as small mammals, their fur pure white and their tails nearly as long as their bodies.*

[10:15] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The animals read as small mammals, their fur pure white and their tails nearly as long as their bodies.*

[10:16] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We re still heading into the other tunnel first. I want to see what it holds before following the actual mine."

[10:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I don't think they'd leave their dead in a mine, though."

[10:16] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: Okie dokie sir.. *he went down the left tunnel when they reached the fork*

[10:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It may not have been purposeful, Jagoda. It could very well have been some large-scale accident.

[10:17] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: They could have simply been slaughtered if they were to old or fragile to be of any further use.

[10:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We will see every tunnel through te maximum distance we are allowed, and then take a decision."

[10:17] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Returns the probe to the large chamber and goes for the next tunnel*

[10:17] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he says coldly.

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He headed down the left hand tunnel.*  "Bug-people will do that."

[10:18] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Anyone who enslaves will.

[10:18] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I hate bugs."

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The left hand tunnel was considerable shorter, and ended in a dead end.* (All roll)

[10:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "There has been an alcove here at one point. Look at the way it deepens, and the almost oval top.."

[10:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He points out something, tracing it with his finger.* "An altar? A bed? A burial place?"

[10:20] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "It's impossible to tell with all this fungus."

[10:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor scanned the fungus itself, to see if it is safe to remove.*

[10:21] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The fungus is safe to be handled. In a pinch, it could even be edible."

[10:21] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He would try clearing some fungus up, to get a better view.*

[10:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the fungus was removed they could all see that it had indeed been a little alcove, though whatever had once stood there was long gone.*

[10:21] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *checking ambient temperature*

[10:22] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hrmph. Well, better luck next time." *He still scans for any partiicles or the like that could give him a clue.*

[10:23] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The little probe flew into the next tunnel, this one significantly smaller and as roughly hewn as the tunnel that the other team had been on before.*

[10:23] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I think it could have been a shelter, perhaps a place to rest their wounded."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Did they burn their dead?

[10:24] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No particles to suggest anything. Whatever was here has long been taken or rotted away. Let us head after the probe."

[10:24] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *guides the probe down the narrower path*

[10:24] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he raised his light to look at the cave ceiling a moment*

[10:25] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe coasted down the path, its light shining upon what appeared to be a set of runes.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks around.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Adjusting the hud goggles to deal with the lower light better, she steps to the side a moment.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She watched the probe's screen with interest.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Wait..." *He watched the probe feed.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he turned to head out of the alcove*

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There were a number of teeny tiny insect-like creatures scurying on the ceiling.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Brings hte runes in to focus for the observers*

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sips her tea, eyes focused on the monitors.--

[10:26] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Tried opening what they had of the irushey alphabet on his PADD to compare to the runes.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin shined his light on the insects before making a face* Eugh..

[10:27] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The runes were somewhat clumsy, clearly a civilisation's first attempt at an alphabet.*

[10:27] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Marcus, could you reach them?" *she says interested in getting a sample*

[10:27] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "T'Ghor to Ensign Zohle, please hold the probe's lens on the rune. I want to compare to the modern Irushhey alphabet."

[10:28] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Void)

[10:28] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What origonally caused them to think this was an irushey homeword from their scanns anyway?"

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I don't think I can Anne.

[10:29] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I have not been told, but what I see so far only confirms the suspicions. I think the probe is looking at their first alphabet. Let us move on."

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "this is strange, could this perhaps be the Irushtey homeworld? Where they developed as a species?"

[10:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Uhh, they didn't?  We're here to investigate some Irushey remains."

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looks up at the high cieling.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Still, the homeworld idea holds merit. Stone tools, runes..."

[10:30] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is not impossible."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She moves to get a closer scan of the insects since they can't sample for study.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "That, or these were the first ones to be kidnapped."

[10:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...either that or there is, or was, come other primative culture here."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: External forces transplanting a civilization can mess with the timelines.

[10:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That could be possible too. We have to wait and see."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And fool starfleet captains.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Speaking from experience remember."

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "We done with the creepy bug cave then?"

[10:32] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Multiple types of it. A rhinelander would have little need to write in anything other than their runes for hundreds of years as a slave. You often keep your servitors ignorant of all but a basic >

[10:32] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li was also focused on the screen.*

[10:32] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: language.

[10:33] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I was done ages ago, I want to get away from th fucking bugs too. "

[10:33] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Tries to get a dating how old the runes are*

[10:33] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Marks the insect species for note, sample desired, caution required.*

[10:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He lead them out toward the underground spring the probe had found.*

[10:34] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This is gorgeous..." *Smiles at the eyeless fishies.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The runes can with security be assessed to be 500000 years old, With high error margin to that they are older still, ma'am."

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods slowly, as she processes that data.--

[10:35] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Can you assist on more accurate dating, ma'am?"

[10:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The eyeless fishies didn't seem to notice him.  Being as they were eyeless.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is something, relay that to the archeology team, they will likely find that infomration useful."

[10:36] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: They weird me out a little.. *he muttered to himself as he looked around(

[10:36] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "You'd think there'd be some creepy torches around here at least..."

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Are there any radioactive trace emelemtns in the surrounding rock?"

[10:36] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let us head in deeper, I want to see the tunnel with the runes."

[10:36] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "...Yeah, don't care."

[10:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We could potentially use them for a more accurate date."

[10:37] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith to expeditionary team, Be adviced runes detected in tunnel X1-2 has been dated to fivehudnred thousend years old, likely to be older."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *thinking about the bugs Dali shudder and mutters* "Our luck, the found the origin of the zhyx."

[10:38] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Checks for radioactiveness of various strengths*

[10:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As they moved along the water, the little indicator went off telling them they'd gone 100 meters.*

[10:38] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thank you, Lieutenant."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We have reached the end of the established clearance.

[10:39] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain, we have reached the 100m limit. So far, we have found an ancient alcove, and proof of stone tools being used in the middle tunnel."

[10:39] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "As well as the probe's discoveries, which I am sure you are aware of. "

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A fuzzy little creature scampered into the command tent.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood Lieutenant. Excellent work....=/\= --the message is cut short as the rodent enters the command tent.--

[10:42] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain? Everything in order?"

[10:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she waves it away-- "Shoo, go away!"

[10:42] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "New assessment is Two million one hudnred fourty sex thousend years old. Error tolereance of two hundred years."

[10:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Creature]  "Eeee!"  *It leapt up onto the table and started running over the displays.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith, are you near the captain? She dropped out of communications unexpectedly."

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --hangs her head and reaches for her phaser.--

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Captain, no!!"

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It is going to damage the displays!"

[10:43] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Tries to pick up the rodent*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks disgusted.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Creature]  *It was snatched up by Vaylith by its tail, flailing its little arms and legs.*

[10:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Don't tell me we have to go up and save their asses now!"

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Ellis report.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "I am here, Lieutenant."

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Good work Vaylith, get that thing out of ehre."

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  =/\= "There's, um, a squirrel thing in the command tent..."

[10:44] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Is everything in order? The Captain droppe... We were just informed the captain went away due to a squirrel... is she petting it?"

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smirks* =^= Then cook it for dinner.

[10:44] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin hid a grin before resorting to a more professional look*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Scans the squirrel as she walks out with it, placing it on the ground and returns inside again*

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  =/\= "I'm not going to kill a squirrel!"

[10:45] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "My cat used to chase squirrels too."

[10:45] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Oh I assumed it was already deceased.

[10:45] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Rubs his forehead ridges.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Sorry Lieutenant, We had an issue with a local animal species invading the command tent. it has been dealt with.=/\=

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=You may proceed further into the cave, but only as far as you can without losing comms.=/\=

[10:46] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Returns inside* "Ma'am. Assessed to be less then on years old. No diseases which are of danger to the crew, ma'am."

[10:47] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Understood, will run comms checks every time we enter a new chamber."

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is reassuring Lieutenant..."

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "It was kind of cute..."

[10:47] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "T'Ghor, I have an uplink to the network running, I'll let you know when it loses signal."

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --give Zohle a Vulcan stare.--

[10:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good."

[10:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let us head onwards. We will check one of the tunnels the probe hasn't yet. Will be most efficient."

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *she shrank.*  "Umm, I'm going to go set up my bunk!!"  *She hurried out.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Continues ggiding the probe further down the tunnel they found runes in*

[10:49] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he watches* Indeed.

[10:49] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Heads onwards into an as of yet unexplored tunnel.*

[10:50] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he followed closely, enjoying the field trip*

[10:50] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Also, no taking any cute cave critters as pets, no matter how adorable they are."

[10:50] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia still lingers near the back, as she take time to process data coming through multiple feeds and not tripping.*

[10:50] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe continued to fly down the tunnel, its downward slope becoming more obvious.  There was another batch of runes several meters down.*

[10:50] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That would be unwise.

[10:50] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That is why I made sure to tell people."

[10:50] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And likely stands how tribbles first became so invasive.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Moves hte probe ot get a good scan and image of the runes*

[10:51] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...I Hate tribbles."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: I love tribbles, they're so clute and fluffy...

[10:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *They headed into a tunnel opposite the mine shaft, dark as could be.  As they shone their flashlights on the ground, they found that it dropped off very sharply.*

[10:51] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Samples are acceptable, properly caged and released after autopsy."

[10:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Hold up, everyone... we've got a dead drop."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How deep?

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he holds position*

[10:52] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. Going back here. Mark it for the probe to check after al other tunnels are down."

[10:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He leaned over some, shining his light down.*  "I'd say at least a ten meter drop."

[10:52] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I agree best left to the probe unless we want to break out grav harnesses.

[10:52] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Keeping further back, she looks at the probe data* "I'm guessing the runes to be mine markers, not cultural.  Indications of danger and such."

[10:52] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith, we got a large drop, marking it down for you now for the probe to look into after you are done with your tunnel."

[10:53] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The runes appeared to be the same alphabet, but it was clearly something else written there.*

[10:53] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was a little crudely-drawn skull at the bottom of this one.*

[10:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Right, let us head backwards and change tunnels, there are mroe left."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Understood. Currently going deeper in shaft X1-2. Designation for your shaft is X1-3"

[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *His lips twitched slightly.*

[10:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Understood, marked it down. We shall check another one."

[10:55] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the probe pressed on, it would come to a sharp turn, taking it deeper and deeper down through the very narrow tunnel, clearly built for a small person.*

[10:55] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Next time, multiple drones, automated to complete initial mapping before we start down a tunnel... I like exploring, but spelunking was never my thing."

[10:56] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he eyed Rhys some*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *impassively controls the probe as it ventures down the tunnel*

[10:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Well, we kind of ran in ahead of the probe cause -someone- apparently can't fucking program..."

[10:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He lead them out toward the next tunnel.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The ground shook gently under them.*

[10:57] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Don't complain, doctor. You can stay in camp next time."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Arches an eyebrow*

[10:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "what was that?"

[10:58] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mister T'Ghor, I could return to camp now.  I just don't like falling down dead drops. Safety precautions save lives."

[10:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --checks the geology sensors--

[10:58] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Someone has no sense of adventure."

[10:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Kids, play nice."  *He eyed the next tunnel, clearly made for someone about half his height.*  "Gonna have to bend."

[10:58] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *clinched his teeth* Besides we'd want the commander around if someone did fall down a drop.

[10:59] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...I don't think I'm gonna fit in there unless I crawl"

[10:59] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I don't know.

[10:59] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he nodded and followed* Well then crawl?

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *RUMBLE.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "strange I am reading no seismic activity."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith to USS Enigma, Requestion analysis of recent seismologic abnormality at current location."

[10:59] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: (what's wrong]

[10:59] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good idea, Ensign, I thought of taking a nice jog through it."

[11:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Enigma Secretary]  "We're not detecting anything like that."

[11:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He crawls in after Istrin.*

[11:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Rhys and Jagoda started crawling as well.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stands up and heads out of the tent to look around--

[11:00] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin waited until it was his turn to crawl*

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Teir and the Deltas had their weapons out, staring at the trees moving in a straight line toward the camp.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Creature]  *It crashed over one of the residential tents, bellowing and hissing as the Deltas started to open fire.*

[11:21] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  =/\= "Oh, I heard that... but, uh, I'm fine.  Thank you for asking."

[11:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *T'Ghor's shoulder was popped back in, smooth as silk.*

[11:22] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Damn. Thanks, ensign, I've had nurses do it much worse."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Good. Make sure you have some sort of weapon nearby just in caes.

[11:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *elbow... ))

[11:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Doctor, This is an order, the team is to return to base. You have done enough excporation for one day. The caves will still be there tomorrow.=/\=

[11:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Doctor, just prepare Jagoda for transport."

[11:23] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: 'Shut your hole T'Ghor.... "

[11:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Of course the vulcan cockblocks us right outside of the spooky chamber..."  *He shone the light on the runes.*

[11:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Next time we head in, we can be transported to this marker."

[11:23] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Then beam everyone but me. I refuse captain, on religious grounds.

[11:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You shut up and do not question the captain."

[11:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "T'Ghor, that's a superior officer you're talking to."

[11:24] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: 'LIEUTENANT!

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *cracks his neck*

[11:24] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Whispers something to Rhys.*

[11:24] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "There is grounds here, and this is not a life threatening situation."

[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --trubs her temples--

[11:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe arrived.*

[11:25] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Heads to explore the room as well.*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Looks over, scans and listens to the away team while doing some assessments*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Captain.  Please.  I am requesting that I not be transported.  This is not a situation that calls for it at the moment."

[11:25] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin frowned*

[11:25] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Looks over, scans and listens to the away team while doing some assessments*

[11:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "T'Ghor, you've been given an order."

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *moves to check the incline.*

[11:26] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I am staying where I am, I am just looking around until people stop arguing."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Doctor, are you able to move without assistance from otehr party?"

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --grits her teeth-- =/\=Very well exploration team, you may proceed. But, see to it that any one needing medical treatment is beamed out.=/\=

[11:27] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Leans back over Jagoda checking further for anything that can be dealth with without moving him.*

[11:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He was just wimpering and cradling his leg still.*

[11:27] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *slides his pack down*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I strongly advice against that, Ma'am."

[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --just gives Vaulith a look--

[11:28] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Anne.

[11:28] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "They are emotionally compromised to a point of rash decisions, lacking judgement. They are at danger."

[11:28] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Yes Vaylith, I am.. just.. faceplanted hard.. I'm seeing to Jagoda here."

[11:29] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Commander, There is no traversing where we just fell from.

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As T'Ghor shined his light through the archway, he could see that there were several rooms branching off from a central chamber with a carved floor and walls.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Understood. Do you require the probe to scan him, ma'am?"

[11:29] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "How far did we fall?"

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to VAylith-- "they will be okay, but lets get Jagoda out of there. CAn the Enigma get him?"

[11:30] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: 20 meters arrested by the incline. But this was a cut shaft, likely missing a ladder or something.

[11:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Curious." *He starts studying the carvings.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Yes ma'am. They have a lock."

[11:31] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Then with a a team at the begining of that smaller tunnel to mount an anchor point, ropes could be sent down and I could climb out.  If you want to transport, go ahead, but I am not having my soul>

[11:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The sniffling ensign was transported out.*

[11:31] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: ripped from me again, on an alien world without lives in the balance."

[11:31] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Curious..." *He makes further notes.*

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Oh my fucking god, are you seriously that INSANE?!"  *He snapped at Dali.*

[11:32] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Looking at the transport beginning the she jumped back*

[11:32] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *sighs a moment*

[11:32] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain, this chamber appears to be an offi-" *Looks to rhys.* "I second that, but I'm on the comms."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Gives T'pang an dispassionate look as she watches the probe feed from teh away gang*

[11:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "You're going to make another team come in and drag your ass out because of some fairy tail mumbo jumbo?"

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Vaylith, have some climbing gear brought to the cave."

[11:33] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain, this place seems to be an official chamber of sorts. Much more ordered, structured almost like a building of sorts. More advanced than what we saw bfore."

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sighs.--

[11:33] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Yes ma'am..."

[11:33] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Standing.. she straigtens her uniform. and using the tricorder and a dermal regenerator she works on her face a bit.* "I could dealt with the leg here, I have the osteo regenerator with me."

[11:34] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mister Rhys, if you wish to be transported out, by all means, do so."

[11:34] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: 'I asked that I not be transported, not you."

[11:34] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood T'Ghor, do some basic survey work and take some scans. I have a team on route to you with some climbing gear for the teams trip back out.=/\=

[11:35] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So not the point of what he said..." *he starts studying the runes, comparing them to the ones the probe found earlir.*

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "What part of chief security officer do you not get?  I stay until everyone else is out."

[11:35] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *marcus sighed and stepped back taking his rifle*

[11:35] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain, our trip back out can be done with a transporter for everyone apart from the doctor. Running scans and trying to make sense of the runes."

[11:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, Lieutenant. Lets try and wrap things up in there as soon as posible.=/\=

[11:36] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I understand mister Rhys.  Thank you for your dedication to your work.  I am sorry to inconvenience you."

[11:36] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Captain, I will get the doctor out if nessesary. It seems inefficient others shall take unessesary risk on behalf of spiritualism."

[11:37] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "On it, Captain. As I said earlier, I have marked tis chamber down, so nxt time, we can be beamed straight to it as to avoid the drop."

[11:37] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: damn and jagoda was the one we just lost.

[11:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He just chewed his cheek and crossed his arms, sniffing a bit of blood sharply into his nose.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to Vaylith-- "please see to it she is extracted safely Lieutenant."

[11:37] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Will do, ma'am."

[11:37] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Are you injured?"

[11:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "No," *he grunted and went to stand with T'Ghor by the archway.*

[11:38] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he sets the power level higher*

[11:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Good thinking Lieutenant T'Ghor. =/\=

[11:38] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor carries on with his surveys and scans.*

[11:38] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thanks, Captain."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Damn.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Walks out of the command tent and looks for some climbing and resque gear*

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *the phaser was not doing the thing he wanted it to*

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he reset it to its sling*

[11:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "T'Ghor, your tricorder's set on biological organisms," *he pointed out.*

[11:40] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin checked his own bruises before staying with the gang*

[11:40] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Crap, thanks, I forgot that in the spring."

[11:40] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Afer the pain in her face is lessened and she can concentrate better, she uses the data collected by hers and linked tricorders to check to see if anyone has wounds they are hiding or unaware of.*

[11:42] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain, if you are seeing this... all these runes are over two million years old, some varying in age. I will try to make some sense of them once we are out."

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A nifty rescue kit was in a box.*

[11:42] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Gets on the climbing and resque kit and starts walking down the cave, using the data from teh probe to quickly navigate and avoid unexpected pitfals*

[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=REcord as much of it was you can, we can work on translations later.=/\=

[11:42] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "As you order."

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  *She walked back into the command tent.*

[11:44] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Welcome back. Run into any giant rodents?

[11:44] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *arrives just before the tunnel got sloopign to much, having some issues with the san-sized cave wriggeling. Arrive in palce she starts securing the ropes in to the stone*

[11:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He shined the light around the chamber.*  "Looks like a temple... or a mausoleum."  *he sniffed and winced.*

[11:46] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The roped were easily secured to the cave walls with futuristic spelunking technology.*

[11:46] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he waits near the bottom of the slope*

[11:46] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Secures the auxiliary rope in a different fastening*

[11:46] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. As I said, more careful. More... structured. I guess we shall see tomorrow."

[11:46] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia turns up the ambient light on her finger tips, and set the wrist lamp to a more flood configuration to avoid bright lights in anyone's face.*

[11:46] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *THat too was secured.*

[11:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Well, when mum calls you in for supper, you best not stay playin' in the barn."

[11:47] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *hurls down the ropes, securing herself to them and starts rapelling/climbing downwards*

[11:47] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Or she whoops your ass with the steel spatula."

[11:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Aye..."  *he grimaced.*

[11:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Grimaced as well.*

[11:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Ropes tumbled into view.*

[11:48] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *said under her breath as she prepars to climg, looking for handholds etc.*"Teach me to assume a project leader in a cave exploration would bring climbing gear... have to remember that for next time."

[11:48] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We have the rope.

[11:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Transporters are a thing, doctor. For 25th century people."

[11:49] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "YOu don't have to come down Vaylith.. you could just send the harness and belay.  I actually know how to do this."

[11:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He looked directly at the camera.*

[11:49] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Transporters do not arrest your fall mid flight instantaneously.

[11:49] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *half way down* "It is to narrow to adjsut it where I am right now" *She slides down further*

[11:52] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Slides down to the ground, unattaches herself and removes the backpack to start digging*

[11:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He stretched a bit.*  "Well, we ready then?"

[11:52] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Ready."

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Zohle]  "Giant... rodents?  Uh, no, not really."

[11:53] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you Vaylith. Did you bring a manual or automatic ascender set?"

[11:53] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *he rolled his sleeve down fully and nodded*

[11:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He headed over to the ropes.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --slumsp into her chair--

[11:53] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Headed to a rope too.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Are teams usually this, uh... discordant?"  *She sat down by T'Pang.*

[11:54] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The Enigma will transport everyone but myself and the doctor, Thsoe of you who suffered injury will submit to a medical examination. There exist no reason to 'endure' at current time."

[11:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she stares at Ellis--

[11:54] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Both are available, the manual as a auxiliary, Doctor."

[11:54] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good.

[11:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood, Lieutenant."

[11:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Nope.  Chief security whatever.  I go out after everyone else goes out, even if that means I gotta climb this shit."

[11:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "No always..."

[11:55] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you.." *she puts on a harness and hooksup to take an assisted climb back out.  Glad to leave the area.*

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She gave an uneasy smile.*  "I'm sure they're just having a bad day."

[11:55] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I will take the role for you this time Rhys.  Should be fine on the paperwork.

[11:56] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ---sighs--

[11:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "I have one job.  I'm doing it."

[11:56] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "There exists no paragraph which state you need to be last, only that you need to be be assured of the security of the team. As such the only instance you need to climb is if you >

[11:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Don't care," *he cut Vay off.*

[11:56] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > assess my ability to get the doctor out safely."

[11:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "What, were you all planning on sneaking off for a three-way make-out session before you got back to the surface?  Just let me do my job."

[11:57] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm not a blasted china tea cup" *she says climbing ahead*

[11:57] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Assessment of incapacity noted." *Removes her own climbing kit and offers it to Rhys.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He took it, waiting for Dali to get a decent distance up before following her.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If she was not one, she'd not be afraid of a damn transporter."

[11:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we have some issues that need to be sorted out."

[11:58] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith to captian T'Pang."

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Well, a camping trip is the perfect place for, uh, team building exercises..."

[11:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Captain T'Pang here, go ahead...=/\=

[11:59] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I would not think I would need to remind an Archeologist of the variety of belief Lieutenant So i would not do so.

[11:59] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: This is a bit more than a 'camping trip'.

[12:00] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Equipment delivered, Lieutenant Rhys is bringign the doctor up. I will eb transporting to the enigma with the rest."

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Belief should not be allowed to stand in the way of work."

[12:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He climbed up after Dali with surprising skill and agility.*

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I have surpressed my beliefs to follow my orders, so should she."

[12:00] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Even if you believed it would preclude you ever seeing your mate again in the afterlife?

[12:00] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Lieutenants, This is not the place or time for this discussion, Drop it."

[12:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood Lieutenent, good work.=/\=

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Vay.*

[12:01] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Very well.

[12:01] [DOIC3] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Calling back down... I'm up.. you should be clear to run away now."

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Well, I mean, it's an expedition, yes.  But we're out here in the woods and everything... all we need is a campfire and some marshmallows."

[12:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --raises and eyebrow-- "marshmellow?"

[12:01] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Checks on the probe ot make sure it is okey*

[12:02] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Taking a seat by the anchor points she makes sure the rope stays put while Rhys climbs*

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "You know, the white sugar thing that you put on chocolate and graham crackers to make s'mores."

[12:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *he got up, seating himself at the top with a little grunt.*  "Alright... after you."

[12:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --shakes her head, indicating she has no idea what Ellis is talking about.--

[12:02] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Just to answer your queestion, Aquila. I am already barred from seeing er, because I followed orders."

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The probe looks very happy and probe-like.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "You've never had marshmallows?  Not even in hot chocolate?"

[12:03] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Are you ready to transport up?"

[12:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Ready, Lieutenant."

[12:03] [DOIC3] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes.

[12:03] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rubs the bridge of his nose.*

[12:03] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Delancey to Command, any issue with leaving the ropes in place or do you want them collected?"

[12:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have never had hot choclate...."

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "...Oh, we have to change that, now."  *She headed to the portable replicator at the other end of the command tent.*

[12:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali removes the harness and puts it into her bag with the assention lift.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=They can stay put doctor, they will probably be needed again at some point.=/\=

[12:04] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Looks at Istrin* "Ensign?"

[12:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "We'll probably be coming back, anyway."  *He wiped his nose with the back of his sleeve.*

[12:05] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: Of course ma'am.. Just waiting!

[12:05] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= "Understood, Rhys and I are returning to camp."

[12:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She came back with a steaming mug of hot chocolate with some mini-marshmallows.*

[12:05] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mister Rhys.. I can set that for you, and stop bleeding, won't take two minutes."

[12:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood doctor, see you when you get back.=/\=

[12:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Here, try it."  *She offered it to T'Pang.*

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --takes the drink--

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "thank you..."

[12:06] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Let's get back to camp and then maybe I'll let you see it," *he grunted, motioning the way with his flashlight.*

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she sips the hot liquid carefully--

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --smiles-- "this is very good."

[12:07] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright then.. " *she leads the way, retuning her light to a more focused beam ahead of them*

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Right?  Perfect for a cold environment like this."

[12:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am surprised Valkriss has not made me try this already."

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Maybe it was next on her list."

[12:07] [DOIC3] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: =^= "Lieutenant Vaylith to USS Enigma. Four to beam up."

[12:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "perhaps. You have likely spoiler her surprise."

[12:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The remaining adventurers vanishes in beams of soul-murdering light.*

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *...And appeared in the Enigma's sickbay.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "I hope she doesn't mind."  *She smiled.*

[12:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "she will understand..."

[12:09] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He kept close behind her, occasionally offering a glare to one of the insects or rodents scurrying around.*

[12:09] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods at the meical staff.* "I am just a bit cut up and bruised, please see to the others first."

[12:09] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: I bumped into him, I'm ok! Just some bruises..

[12:09] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I am fine.

[12:10] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I'll head to the transporter room to rejoin the ground unit.

[12:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Doctor]  "...Why did you get beamed up here instead of to your camp then?"

[12:10] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Because Lieutenant Vaylith ordererd us -all- checked up, Aquila."

[12:10] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Now sit down and let the doctors see you."

[12:11] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "All of you."

[12:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Enigma doctors quickly went to tend to their ouchies and boo-boos.  Jagoda was already in a biobed, sipping a juice box.*

[12:11] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Everyone who was injured."

[12:11] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin sat down like a good boy*

[12:11] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Assuming no more issues, Dali leads them all the way to the camp, where she reports in to the command tent.*

[12:11] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Very well scan me.

[12:11] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Are you doing okey, Jagoda?" *From the bed next to his.s*

[12:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I'm alright!"

[12:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stands up and heads out to greet the returning members of the team.--

[12:12] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *he followed after her like the ship guard dog.*

[12:12] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good to hear. If it makes you feel any better, the same appened in Hessok Vridi. You ask me, next time, we should take point..."

[12:12] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A short while later they were all discharged, free of bruises and cuts.*

[12:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks over the pair.-- "You both look like you need some medical attention."

[12:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "I've had worse."

[12:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Prophets.

[12:13] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor got Jagoda some grilled cheese, with the doctor's permission, then headed out to the transporter room.*

[12:13] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia reports in, before the captain excuses herself to privacy* "I'll see to it, maybe we can learn to stop butting head." *she winks at the captain.*

[12:13] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Guides the little probe to do scanny scanny as she watches the people in sickbay*

[12:14] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin finished his lollipop and properly disposed of it before joining the others*

[12:14] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *To the enigma transporter guy.* "One to beam down to the camp, Chief."

[12:14] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *partook of no confectionary*

[12:14] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the group on the Enigma was sent back down to the surface, the credits began to play and the episode rolled over into a social.*

[12:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I apologize Doctor. In my over abundance of concern for the safety of the away team I negelctid your religious concerns. I bleivee that was a bad call on my part."

[12:15] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "How is Jagoda? I believe in 10 minutes I could have had him on his feet. I'm sorry ma'am, but I just did not see it as a life and death call."

[12:16] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "But I accept the apology, and hope you can accept my short temper on the matter."

[12:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She got herself a mug of hot chocolate quietly.*

[12:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "and you had a point doctor. Anyway jagoda is fine his injuries have been treated."

[12:16] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: (accept my own apology)

[12:17] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'll see to Mister Rhy's nose.. my tooth can wait till we return to the Enigma."

[12:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I think as a team my senior staff and I have some issues to sort out."

[12:17] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor walked into the command tent, looking to Ellis.* "Ensign, could you please send all the data from the probe to my PADD while the captain's busy?"

[12:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --lets the doctor see to Rhys.--

[12:17] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "If there is nothing self at this time?"

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Oh, um, I thought it was broadcasting to everyone on the group?"

[12:18] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *ths leads out of the tent*

[12:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "No that is all doctor."

[12:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "You should already have it."

[12:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *enters the command tent*

[12:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Checks his PADD.* "Oh, yes, I have the scans too. Thought I only have the video feed. My mistake." *Nods to Ellis, then heads out into the camp proper.*

[12:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She straightened up, nodding to Aquila.*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin walked over and helped himself to some rations nearby*

[12:19] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Finds a nice stump, sitting down on it with a bottle of replicated beer and his PADD, to start working on the translations.*

[12:20] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Not far away, some of the crew had started a little campfire.*

[12:21] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nodded to Ellis*

[12:21] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *LI looks out towards the camp, peering at the signs of a campfire.*

[12:22] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Headed towards the campfire, nodding to those around, as he sat down next to it to continue his work.*

[12:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "...And that's when the chief of security said..."  *He put on a deep voice.*  "Ma'am... the comm is coming from inside your quarters!"

[12:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "...That's stupid."

[12:23] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *having been returned to the suface, Vaylith marches to the command tent to resume controling the probes proby adventures*

[12:23] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks.*

[12:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "It's a modern retelling of a classic!"

[12:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "I hate remakes..."

[12:23] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Trying human humour on the andorians?"

[12:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "Trying being the operative word."

[12:24] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Chuckles.* "Yea, I can see that..."

[12:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "It's supposed to be spooky!  We're telling spooky campfire stories!"

[12:25] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin brought along some s'more knockoffs to the campfire*

[12:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "I know a scarier story, it's called 'the last time Ted washed his crack.'"

[12:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "I am VERY hygeinic!!"

[12:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She covered her mouth and giggled.*

[12:25] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Most the one I could tell y-..." *Looks to Ettore.* "I really don't wanna ear such stuff about my subordinates." *Laughs.*

[12:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "Not you too!!"

[12:25] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "She's supposed to know best, no?" *Grins*

[12:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "Fine, let's see you all tell scarier stories..."

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She sipped her hot chocolate, peering outside.*

[12:26] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I mean, my scariest ones are all things that have really happened, so it will be a downer."

[12:27] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Next time Ellis. Before I go near a cave. Ask me If I have a grav harness.

[12:27] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Cristol]  *She suddenly plopped down right between Otsuka and Darling.*  "I have a story.  There once was a man from Venus, who---"

[12:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Like, have you seen Ettore and her boyfriend make out? Now that rivals you crack."

[12:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Your* Crack)

[12:27] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs, looking up at the sky.*

[12:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Of course, sir."  *She looked at Li.*  "Are you okay?"

[12:28] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Cristol, taking the story in.*

[12:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "No!  No no no, I don't want to hear it!"

[12:28] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he wrinkled his face slightly*

[12:28] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What's wrong with Venus?" *To Rei.*

[12:28] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *In the med tent... she arranges her gear, removing it from herself, setting up diagnostics to make sure nothing was damaged.*

[12:28] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah, it's fine.

[12:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "It was a limerick!"

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She smiled at him.*  "Come on, let's go sit by the campfire and hear dumb stories, sure you'll feel better."

[12:29] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Venus? Wha... Ooooooh!"

[12:29] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I see."

[12:29] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Cristol]  "Try this one on.  I once knew a girl named Regina, whose mouth looked just like a..."

[12:30] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Grins.*

[12:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  *He just GLARED.*

[12:31] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Mouthed the word, looking at Teir's direction, then looked back into his PADD as he worked*

[12:31] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, heading out towards it.*

[12:32] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She gave a little wave as she arrived with Li.*

[12:32] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hey, you two."

[12:32] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Looks at a screen with medical scan of her face, and winces determining if there is anything she can't handle there.*

[12:32] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she looks around to see if Rhys decided to come in or not.*

[12:32] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he waved at Li* Hey sir!

[12:33] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *there were no Welshmen in sight.*

[12:33] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hello.

[12:33] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Li was given a little chorus of hellos and heys.*

[12:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "So, we have any s'mores going?"

[12:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "We have supplies!"  *She handed a bag over to Ellis, who nodded in thanks.*

[12:35] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Cristol was just... rhyming."

[12:35] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he hid his own bag of s'mores away.. for himself at the question*

[12:35] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Cristol]  "I'm a goddamn poet, didn't you know?"

[12:35] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This generation's Lord Byron."

[12:36] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Lord who? Sir?

[12:36] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "One of the biggest Earth poets."

[12:37] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Never saw the charm in his stuff, but to each his own."

[12:37] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he shrugged* This is the first that I've heard of him..

[12:37] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Cristol]  *She grunted and got up.*  "Well, I'm gonna find a ditch to pass out in.  Have fun."  *She wandered off.*

[12:37] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, grew up on Earth, studied his crap in Literature class. Night, Cristol"

[12:38] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Good night ma'am! Sleep well!

[12:40] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So, I heard the camp was attacked by a wild animal? 'Sup with that?"

[12:40] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *she pulled a marshmallow off the fire and smushed it with some chocolate between two graham crackers.  She offered it over to Li.*

[12:40] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li accepts it, nibbling on it.*

[12:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "It appeared to be a mother animal that was upset that her baby was mistreated."

[12:41] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Wait, one of you mistreated a baby animal?" *Frowns judgementally.*

[12:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Well, Vaylith picked it up before T'Pang could shoot it..."

[12:42] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Wow! She picked it up with her bare hands?

[12:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "I know, right, she had like, those super borg reflexes."

[12:43] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The captain wanted to shoot a baby animal? The fuck's up with people today?"

[12:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Well, she didn't, at least..."

[12:43] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: I remember trying to chase around a Retyin back home as a little kid and it took me days to do that!

[12:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Remember... super borg reflexes."

[12:44] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Well I was eleven so.. *he shrugged*

[12:44] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She leaned in to Darling, resting her head on his shoulder.*

[12:45] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That too... I just used to chase cows."

[12:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "I once had a mouse get into my room, I tried to catch it for hours..."

[12:46] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Mice are nice, so long as they keep away from the food or any wiring."

[12:46] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: I know my sisters would've screamed and ran out of the house if they saw one..

[12:47] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Oh, no, this one was evil...  I kept almost catching it but it would just jump away..."

[12:47] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: They'd always call either me or my brothers to come and get rid of it.. it got really annoying sometimes... They're not that scary.

[12:47] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Chuckles.* "They are adorable. Just annoying."

[12:48] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "I think they're just cute, and they're vastly underrated creatures."

[12:48] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *maps out some tunnels for future expeditions*

[12:48] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Underrated?"

[12:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Yes?  Not many people like mice."

[12:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "I don't, those little eyes give me the creeps."

[12:49] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Well I think it's because they carried lots of diseases?

[12:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She pursed her lips at Darling.*

[12:49] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm going to retire for the evening. *LI stands up, having finished his food.* Thank you. *He says to Ellis.*

[12:50] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She smiled at Li.*  "No problem, sleep well!"

[12:50] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Night, Lieutenant. And well, they carried them.. once. Now they are an annoyance at worst, cute pets at best."

[12:50] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thanks. *Li heads bcack to the Engineering tent.*

[12:51] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "They're pests."

[12:53] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No... they are not pests. Tribbles, now -those- are pests."

[12:53] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "What's wrong with tribbles?"

[12:53] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: NOthing is wrong with tribbles! I love them. *he smiled*

[12:55] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Those things are evil. I've heard they eat babies."

[12:55] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: They do not!

[12:55] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "They do not!"

[12:55] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Have you seen a tribble next to a baby?"

[12:56] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: Yes?

[12:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "That doesn't mean anything..."

[12:56] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I dunno. I feel it in my blood. They are... -wrong-."

[12:57] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Finished with her face, Dali gets out of expedition gear, leaving jumpsuit and boots in place, she keeps her sidearm and replicates a large cup of chai with milk and wanders out to the fire.*

[12:57] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: THat doesn't mean you're right?

[12:57] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "My gut rarely lies."

[12:58] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: It can be wrong? Right? *he looked at the others*

[12:58] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Darling]  "Mine does..."  *he looked down at his slight paunch.*

[12:58] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  "Of course it can.  He's just being silly."

[12:58] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali looks to find a comfortable place to sit, not saying anything right away as she comes to join the group.*

[12:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ellis]  *She offered a small smile to Dali.*

[12:59] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: S'more doctor?

[1:00] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I was right about the kIrtascans..."

[1:00] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She looks like she is about to say yes, then sighs* "I probably shouldn't.  Still need to go have a tooth fixed. Thank you though."

[1:00] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "A deaf, mute, blind man could've been right about the Kirtascans."

[1:01] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And yet sme still weren't..."

[1:01] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What exactly were you right about? I came on board a day before things.. blew apart on Hessok Vridi."

[1:01] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That the Kirtascans were not to be trusted."

[1:02] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "All of them? or just the religious fanatic radicals?"

[1:03] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he looked at t'ghor*

[1:03] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The fanatics. The ones who cmae to pressure us."

[1:03] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And well, the ones who kept them fanaticized."

[1:04] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "And the ones with a more moderate, personal view of their faith, you felt you could trust them?"

[1:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Trust? No. But I did not feel like they prepared to plunge a knife into our collective backs. At least not willingly."

[1:09] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "So you are saying blanket, you did not trust the Kirascans."

[1:09] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. No I did not."

[1:10] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Were there any Kirtascans you did trust?"

[1:11] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Until their governmental change? No, there were not."

[1:13] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I found the lady Belir to be trustworthy, even if her staff was compromised.  But to be honest, when i saw that ritual they were setting up, I was to my core chilled and knowing something bad >

[1:13] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: was about to transpire, even if I knew not how to stop it."

[1:14] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You get a sense for such things eventually."

[1:15] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *istrin quietly ate another s'more while listening*

[1:15] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You didn't think what they were setting up was... going to fail at minimum?"

[1:17] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I did. But there was no way to stop it. We were outgunned, on the ground, and in space."

[1:19] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Got a sense for that then." *she sighs* "I'm sorry it went down the way it did.  I heard you say in the tunnels that something happened the same way here.  Do you mind explaining?  I don't want to >

[1:19] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: misunderstand."

[1:19] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *walks up to vaylith* Finding anything interesting?

[1:20] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I am programing a pattern."

[1:20] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Effecient.

[1:20] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Someone behind me slipped, and pushed all of us down the steep incline. Problem is, in Hessok Vridi, we knew there was an incline."

[1:20] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "That is the purpose."

[1:21] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *he frowned some and nibbled away*

[1:21] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Is the drone still mapping out the tunnels? so we can avoid that from happening again?"

[1:21] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Knowing Vaylith, she's on it."

[1:22] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I found myself seeeing unexpected problem in the cave. One rank and billet and task all found themsellves at odds with reason.

[1:23] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Excplain parameter; Unexpected."

[1:23] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Bringing up her wrist, she types on her PADD - text to Vaylith - 'Is the drone still actively mapping?'*

[1:24] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I had anticpated being able to walk the tightrope between duty to position and duty to wife with ease.

[1:24] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *A text returns fro mvaylith* "Yes."

[1:27] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "T'Ghor.  Did you see a life threatening situation down there?"

[1:27] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The problem was, and will be forever. I have to quesiton motivation where I did not before.

[1:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. But how do I know it will not be the same in a life threatening situation? And even now, not transporting out was just pulling other crew members aside from their duties."

[1:28] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "On duty, as an officer you are not married to the doctor, That personal relation must never influence any decision taken as an officer. Further..." *she closes her eyes a moment and pauses*

[1:31] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Precicesly my predicament.

[1:31] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: medical needs of the staff and those come in contact with.  It's my job.  But I do not have to give up my beliefs for your convenience."

[1:32] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: She is my wife, protector a part of my duties to her. She is my superior officer, fighting her battles counter to the proper display of discipline. But I expect all officers who serve.

[1:32] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: To respect the uniform. That does not seem to be the case.

[1:33] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We have discuseed this before in length. Unfortunately circumstance change little when tongs puts crucible to fire. And I am at loss of what to do about it.

[1:35] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Unwraps a carrotcake-powerbar and dispassionately munches it*

[1:36] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I agreed with the captains order for egress. I don't agree with the order to press on without proper safety gear.

[1:36] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But the captains orders are my hand to follow.

[1:36] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "That is your choice, I do not know what beliefs a boy who grew up on Earth had about his afterlife. But your life would be over if you had not forgone your belief is what you are saying?

[1:37] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This life. The one I dislike. The one I would rather be rid of."

[1:37] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "She did not agree to egress when recomended."

[1:38] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You are in the wrong service. Starfleet is not for reckless people who wish to be dead."

[1:38] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Her beliefs are very dear to her. I know in a life threatening situation truly life threatening she would and has. But that is knoweldge that was unknown to others.

[1:39] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: There is no easy solution for what happened, Nor easy answer for my own course of action involved.

[1:39] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "As long as her belief does not add aditional duties or obsticles to others, Her beliefs should be respected."

[1:39] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. You do not get it. The reason I am still serving is exactly because I know the difference between what's good for me and what's good for te team. Do you think that I don't want to rush out and

[1:39] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I was prepared to beam out and return to retrieve her. Much the same way you did.

[1:40] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Fight every time we are boarded? To feel the rush, to feel a bit alive? Course I do. Instead, I get left to guard the captain. And that is what I do."

[1:40] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Actually I was going to cut holes to hold with a phaser and climba dn retrieve gear. But the rock was nto cooperating.

[1:41] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he chuckles slightly*

[1:41] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "On the topic of T'Ghor. I will converse with him." *Offers a carrotcake-bar to marcus*

[1:41] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *takes it*

[1:42] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he eats* More flavorful than I expected for an energy bar.

[1:42] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "They are efficient at replenishen nutritional needs, with agreeable flavour."

[1:42] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Maybe I don't get it. You sare telling me you wold rather be rid of your life, then telling me that you are staying alive for your team. What I see often is your thoughts lending to reckless opinion>

[1:42] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: and having to be reigned in on your actions."

[1:43] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Opinion? Yes. Action? No. I have not acted on my own head."

[1:44] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Even when you went beyond incapacitation to complete decimation of one of the men who boarded and captured us almost a year ago?"

[1:44] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That they are. And your insights always useful in center perspective. My friend. *he takes another bite*

[1:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nobody ordered me against it."

[1:45] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I have an... reasonebly based assessment to the fundamental problem of T'Ghor, and the issue for him two of his supperiors."

[1:45] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Exactly, you move to your mind."

[1:45] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hell, even then, I cooperated with Ilya, when you know I'd rather tear off her arms and strangle her with them."

[1:46] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *The issue for him towards two of his supperiors

[1:47] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Sighs" I'm not your counsler, I would suggest you spend some time talking with Laine. I don't know if it's cultural or not, but you seem to need to talk to someone about issues."

[1:47] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Something you would give voice to in confidence, knowing it not to eave this tent?

[1:48] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. No I do not. I need to fill my promise to Valais, then leave this ship to go work on Dr. Rendino's team."

[1:48] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Now.. *she sighs, and looks around the area* "Dr. Rendino?"

[1:49] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "No I've not met her.  Put in for a transfer if you are needing to."

[1:50] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I cannot until I have done what I promised to my last Captain."

[1:50] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm going to ask you to pay attention for a moment, there is something I've been meaning to speak of, and been holding off for what I thought was a sense of unity, but I'm not doing so anymore."

[1:50] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do it."

[1:50] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Taking a sip of her tea she sighs.* "I accept discussions as peers.  I accept a little banter.  But the crew on our ship has gotten way to comfortable with letting their lips loose without thought >

[1:51] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: accept any more blatent disrespect of my position as CMO or Lieutenant Commander in the service of starfleet.  I worked 11 years to be where I am at, and am tired of seeing effort disrespected."

[1:51] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps. But that means to weild their own rank in such a way is hypocritical.

[1:51] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Either the chain of command exists or the chain of strength exists. There are navy's where the latter is the rule.

[1:52] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will tell you something else. I need to -see- that the one who claims to be above me, can be above me. Like Vaylith. Or Valkriss. Until I see that you are a leader, I will have a hard time >

[1:52] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Accepting it. It is simply the truth, not meant as an insult."

[1:52] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is. My assessment is that The lieutenant has a very high requirement to respect those he follows. And few has managed to gain sch, my assessment is there is only one on the ship."

[1:53] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You may may not mean insult, but you give it.  If it happens again, I will see you reprimanded for insubordination."

[1:53] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Very well."

[1:53] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Then speaking freely he needs to remember that if that is the type of leader he wants to be. He better damn well be stronger than all those below him. And if the battlefield he is choosing to fight >

[1:54] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: is one of wits, cunning, and intelligence. He may find himself underarmed for the conflict to come.

[1:54] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sighs, not relaxed or happy.  She looks away from the fire.* "I do not like having to say things like that.  T'Ghor I have tried to help you every chance I got, because I could see you were >

[1:58] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That is the problem with the type of pride you so eloquently argued agaisnt in our early talks. It nearly always leads to ruin and I would see him not make those mistakes and succeed.

[1:58] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correct."

[1:58] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: was violating my rights as a citizen.  No other reason.  I have never shown her disrespect to tell her to shut and do as she is told."

[1:59] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "And everyone can command, few can lead, a person I used to know stated. T'Ghor must learn his place. and those above him need to as leaders gain his respect, not rely on artificial forced one>

[2:00] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > as it is... less efficient, and prone to failure under tests. an interesting balance of individuality combined with herarchies in collective. Likely main reason I am unsuited to lead."

[2:01] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No leader that is suited to lead ever truly believes they stand as such.

[2:01] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Set my mind to it. It was basically me taking her side, and I am a bit ashamed to admit so."

[2:01] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "True."

[2:02] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "There are a lot of things tha I give up from my faith.  My morning devotionals are done looking out a window into space rather than looking up into sky.  I cannot be near running water, and I cannot>

[2:03] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: be touching the earth.  It is not too much to ask that I not be transported.  There are almost 1% of of people in Starfleet with similar restrictions."

[2:03] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And that is the curse. For far to many believe they are capable and lead those people to their deaths.

[2:04] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Everyone can hold a rank and command someone to their deaths."

[2:04] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Just as someone you do not know and have no reason to respect, can give order that saves an empire.

[2:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I know. I gave up Sto'vo'kor for this. Not just... temporarily, you see. I am disqualified from it. Forever. So I take this... I tink, a bit too serious. I know it is unfair of me to ask of others >

[2:05] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The chain fo command exists for that reason. It is not artificial. It is discipline, it is order, and it is the way a military has to function.

[2:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "To do things like that. But... this job is all I have. And if someone is above me, I guess there is a lot I wish to see from them."

[2:06] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Or we are all privateers and I am sorely out of costume.

[2:06] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Chain of command is not the same thing as loyality, or respect. They are to often thought of as the same."

[2:07] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The chain represents the institution of starfleet. A thing you swore your loyalty to, and your respect.

[2:07] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "My assessment is that without individuality it owuld be more efficient to have a chain of command and nothing else. But it works poorly with the concept of individualism."

[2:07] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "We are alone.. answer me this.  Besides not allowing myself to be put through the transporter except in life/death situations, how have I failed in your eyes?  What I do to earn disrespect?"

[2:09] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What I give is not disrespect. At least not to myself. It is not that you have failed. It is that you have not succeeded yet."

[2:09] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "You know that is not the same, Lieutenant. we respect an ideal. You know that Captains such as PhellTalia Zh'kor has an individual respect and loyality from her collective then Captains who >

[2:10] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > command trough the respect to the rank, not the individual. Captain PhellTalia Zh'kor's collectives unstatistically probable success rates tend to be partially assigned to this."

[2:10] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Please don't tell me it's because you are twice my size. In my fields, I am considered exceptional.  And I tried to no walk on our authority in your team, but support it. Does respect not earn >

[2:10] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: respect in your ... culture?"

[2:11] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I am aware of this. But because the first type of respect is lacking does nto mean you forgoe the second. That is why it is there. It is a redundancy. There are ways to make your thoughts known even >

[2:11] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: (not walk on your .. stupid keyboard dropping letters.]

[2:12] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "See, I respect you as a person and a medical proffessional, much so. I cannot respect you as a leader yet. I just... it is difficult to explain. There is... almost a... -spark- that you see one day.>

[2:12] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The topic here is not Lieutenant T'Ghor in particular. He has gone out of line which there is nothing to argue about."

[2:12] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No we are speaking in generalities now.

[2:12] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: As we so often end up.

[2:12] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And you ssay - "Yes. This is it. This is my leader." I saw it with Valkriss almost immediately. T'Pang.. not so. Do you know I needed more than a year to start trusting and respecting her decision? >

[2:13] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And passing time while I am sure you are draw nearly complete with your search algorithm.

[2:13] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "My first promotion was frozen because I acted out against her decision to negotiate with the Kirtascans. It needed a lot of time for me to see that... spark."

[2:13] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "To a person given artificial rank, a person will do what is requiered. To a person they respect, hold loyality or other... difficult to compute sociocultural bonds, They do more."

[2:16] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correction, Artificial respect trough rank."

[2:16] [DOIC2] IM@Gonz.0: [Dali] "My position doesn't call for the kind of leadership a Captain provides.  Neither does yours.  As a department head, the job is to provide guidance >

[2:16] [DOIC2] IM@Gonz.0: and control the output of the department.  Leading through example of excellence, but giving your people the change to excel and be recognized for it.:

[2:17] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That is true. And why great leaders rise above their granted laurels.

[2:17] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correct."

[2:18] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment this is what falls partially under morale as well."

[2:18] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But for instance if I were to only follow the orders of officers I hold respect for in combat.

[2:19] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I know. Yet your rank also suggests you are near the top. So my expectations are almost the same as they are for the top. I have different expctations for... say, you and Aquila. He just has to do >

[2:19] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How could I ever integrate to a new command.

[2:19] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Or integrate others within my own? Do I seek oppurtunities to blood the command?

[2:19] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "You shall follow the orders of those you are obligated to obey."

[2:19] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Why?

[2:20] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "His job and inspire his people. You need to do that, -and- get the... loyalty, of those underneath you, of all departments. Not just the loyalty as a doctor, or a person, but as a Ltcmdr."

[2:20] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "That is where chain of command comes in, and why everyone can command given the rank. It shall be for your supperior to secure your loyality and respect to them as leaders, not as your lawful >

[2:34] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Don't expect as much as in Hessok Vridi. That was my best work so far, gave you what you need for a species revival. Good night."

[2:34] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He stood up, heading for a tent, and going to hook up his PADD into a computer to work more comfortably.*

[2:34] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes. And for the federation that is a difficult balance.

[2:34] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: With so many differing cultures.

[2:35] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correct. It is my assessment they sacrefice a average base efficiency for the potential of very high efficiency, with risk of lower then average."

[2:35] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It seems it has so far served the federation adequetly in areas of significant tests, even with its drawback on other areas."

[2:36] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia looks at the fire, cupping her tea, she takes a sip and winces at the sensation over her tooth. Then takes a more careful sip.

[2:37] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Part of that though is due to the federation's nature to fall back into distasteful practices when pressed.

[2:37] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correct."

[2:38] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Our own little hypocrisy. Of course when next war rolls around all Decia need do is return to Roma and she'd have several billion legionaires.

[2:41] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "If such will be of benefit I am unable to assess."

[2:41] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *laughs* Not armed with gladius and shield.

[2:42] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "That would be inefficient."

[2:42] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The shield seems to have scene effective uses.

[2:42] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smiled at her*

[2:43] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It has had appropriate use, Indeed."

[2:47] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Have you estabelished further clarity to the situation causing issue, lieutenant?"

[2:48] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smiled* As I always seem to after speaking with most trusted friend.

[2:49] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I will talk to the lieutenant, and I will inform him that further blatant insubordination will be reported by me if I witness it."

[2:50] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali picks up a couple of sticks to throw into the fire, kind of enjoying the quiet after all went to bed.*

[2:51] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Good, I did not wish to report it given entanglements. It would not have been taken as serious as it should be,

[2:51] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correct, it would undermine both your own and the doctors position."

[2:54] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nodded* Speaking of that I should see to my wife and then bed.

[2:55] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Good night lieutenant."

[2:56] [DOIC4] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Good night lieutenant. *he gave her a more formal snap of his heels before leaving.*

[2:57] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Nods firmly from her sitting position then swivvels back to the computer terminal*
