02:20:12: <BrielleJayde> ::AA::
02:20:13: <Capt_Crow> AA
02:20:53: <LtConstance> ::AA:
02:21:15: <EdraCrow> Ok...
02:21:28: <EdraCrow> So, we're gonna pick up mostly where we left off last night.
02:21:43: <BrielleJayde> night = week
02:21:49: <LtConstance> Ok
02:22:28: <EdraCrow> right...
02:22:44: <EdraCrow> this had better not be a sign of things to come
02:23:18: <EdraCrow> So, Constance got some good news...she's clear, and back on the Bridge
02:23:30: <EdraCrow> out of quarantine
02:23:48: <BrielleJayde> Yay Constance!
02:24:39: <LtConstance> How did this happen
02:25:03: <EdraCrow> The ship is now in visual range of the vents on the planet's surface.
02:25:24: <EdraCrow> Brie and I are still at the medical center trying to sort through the information we have.
02:25:28: <EdraCrow> any questions?
02:25:35: <BrielleJayde> Nada
02:25:42: <LtConstance> How did I get cleared
02:26:05: <EdraCrow> you were found to be free of the microbe.
02:26:28: <LtConstance> Oh ok
02:27:03: <EdraCrow> Keep an eye on your tabs at the top of the screen, if I need to use them.
and any questions, pm them to me.02:27:11: <EdraCrow> any further questions*
02:27:12: <BrielleJayde> Got it
02:27:19: <EdraCrow> *BEGIN*
02:28:09: <Capt_Crow> Prepare another probe and shoot it into that vent. I want to know what's happening in there.
02:28:15: <BrielleJayde> ::Taps PADD on her hand, thinking::
02:28:33: <EdraCrow> ::puts her head in her hands, beginning to get tired:: Ok, so let's review. What do we know?
02:29:16: <BrielleJayde> ::Eyes Edra and sighs:: Review, really?
02:29:23: <LtConstance> " yes sir" shooting another probe into the vent
02:29:52: <EdraCrow> I feel like we're missing something.
02:30:30: <EdraCrow> babies are dying, because of some microbe, whose origins are unknown.
02:31:13: <BrielleJayde> ::Sits back:: Okay, thing only seems to have an affect on children. I think we were trying to figure out if it started when they started..what was it, drilling?
02:31:45: <BrielleJayde> (Hey late Haydon!)
02:31:56: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> LOL
02:32:13: <EdraCrow> <<we've already begun Haydon...you're on the AT still>>
02:32:31: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> gotcha
02:32:35: <EdraCrow> <<keep an eye on your tabs>>
02:32:42: <BrielleJayde> (Incoming PM Haydon)
02:33:19: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE PROBE IS LAUNCHED BACK OUT FROM THE VENT,
02:33:50: <EdraCrow> 4...NOT DAMAGED
02:34:25: <Capt_Crow> ::He slowly looked over his shoulder at Stewart:: Did that probe, with a thruster on it, just get shot out of the hole...or was it just me?
02:35:12: <LtConstance> " no sir it got shot back out at us"
02:35:59: <EdraCrow> ::shakes her head:: No, they've been drilling since they settled here. It's their source of power. ::turns to Haydon:: Did you say they upped their resource usage?
02:36:03: <BrielleJayde> (Razot!)
02:36:07: <EdraCrow> <<omg! >>
02:36:13: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Ohhhh my little feregi buddy!
02:36:26: <BrielleJayde> ((Keep in character
))02:37:03: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> ((I'm Q I just had a vision))
02:37:47: <Razot> (( Hello ya'll, Kenneth is starting to sleep more, forgot it's 8pm thought it was still 9pm))
02:37:47: <EdraCrow> <<Razot, if you're able to play, you can be on the bridge>>
02:37:49: <BrielleJayde> ::Looks over at Haydon:: I think that’s what he’d said..
02:38:16: <Razot> ((ok))
02:38:23: <Razot> ((brb))
02:38:45: <Capt_Crow> Shoot another three in there, spaced ten seconds apiece.
02:39:30: <EdraCrow> ...maybe the deaths started when they increased their usage of the resource.
02:39:33: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> T
02:39:55: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> They claim to be needing more and more of these crystals
02:40:11: <LtConstance> " yes sir" : fires another probe counts to ten fires another one counts to ten fires the third one
02:40:14: <BrielleJayde> ::Looks down at her PADD, making a few notes:: Maybe..
02:40:44: <EdraCrow> ::goes to a computer and looks up the information she hypothesized about. The increase in infant mortality began about 3 months ago:: When did they start needing more?
02:41:31: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: ALL THREE ARE PROPELLED BACK OUT TOGETHER.
02:42:04: <EdraCrow> ::To Haydon:: When did they start needing more of the crystals?
02:42:13: <Capt_Crow> Stewart...how big is that hole? Big enough that if we entered the atmosphere we could fit in it?
02:42:51: <LtConstance> " running a scan on the hole
02:43:39: <BrielleJayde> ::Sits back in her seat again, waiting to hear what Haydon had to say::
02:43:42: <LtConstance> No sir but a shuttle would fit in it
02:44:34: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> I am not sure Topor ever said
02:45:17: <LtRazot> ((Ok i spoke too soon.... He woke up crying i gotta go, i'm sorry))
02:45:17: <BrielleJayde> ::Frowns::
02:45:29: <EdraCrow> What if those coincided? Is the microbe a response to the drilling?
02:45:29: <BrielleJayde> ((Tis okay, night!))
02:46:15: <LtConstance> Should I prep a Shuttle to go in their sit
02:46:19: <LtConstance> Sir
02:46:27: <BrielleJayde> That would be the only change recently.
02:47:02: <Capt_Crow> ::He stood, pacing:: No...I'm not putting anyone in that spot.
02:47:09: <EdraCrow> but how could one cause the other?
02:47:26: <BrielleJayde> Wait, if this thing is technically airborn, could we have them slow down the resource usage and see if there is any change? Even a slight one?
02:47:47: <LtConstance> " yes sir"
02:47:50: <BrielleJayde> ::Stops and thinks on Edra’s question:: Hit a pocket of something with the drilling?
02:48:10: <EdraCrow> that could take a long time, and I don't know where the source of the microbe is to know if less of it is being produced.
02:48:38: <Capt_Crow> However....send a single phaser blast into the hole. Half power, for three seconds.
02:48:42: <EdraCrow> ::nods:: the drilling may have released something...
02:49:09: <BrielleJayde> Can we have Henry scan from the ship where the drilling is with the sensors?
02:49:44: <LtConstance> " yes sir" sending a phaser blast into the hole at half power holing it their counting to three
02:49:59: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> I ran as many scans as I could and transferred the data up to the ship
02:50:20: <EdraCrow> ::nods:: +Henry+ Are you able to map the drilling that's been happening on the planet, and get it to us?
02:51:13: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE PLANET BEGINS TO RUMBLE
02:51:28: <Capt_Crow> +Edra+ Yes we can relay their known sites. ::He nodded to an OPS to transfer the sensor data::
02:52:07: <EdraCrow> ::looks around, bracing herself against the nearest wall:: another earthquake?
02:52:08: <BrielleJayde> ::Holds onto her seat a little:: Okay, those are getting old...
02:53:05: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE RUMBLING SUBSIDES
02:54:02: <BrielleJayde> ::Sighs:: I think we need to get this sorted quickly.
02:54:07: <EdraCrow> ::checks her PADD to see that the information Henry promised had transferred.:: got it...
02:54:27: <EdraCrow> ::nods:: agreed...Haydon, anything else that Topor told you that sticks out to you?
02:54:37: <Capt_Crow> So maybe we shouldnt do that again...
02:54:40: <BrielleJayde> ::Goes over to see what Edra had gotten::
02:55:07: <LtConstance> " I agree sir"
02:55:46: <LtConstance> " checking out readouts on that hole to see what it is exactly
02:55:48: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE VENT RETURNS TO IT'S NORMAL INTAKE AND EXPELLING OF GASES
02:56:26: <Capt_Crow> Is there any difference in the gases going in than going out?
02:56:39: <Capt_Crow> Is the planet absorbing anything or adding anything?
02:57:14: <LtConstance> I don't see anything sir
02:58:12: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Not other than the using the nuclear detonations to get to the crystals and the need for more and more crystals
02:58:35: <EdraCrow> ::nods::
02:58:39: <BrielleJayde> Nuclear detonations, maybe mixing with the crystals?
02:58:59: <EdraCrow> There's something just out of our reach...
02:59:43: <BrielleJayde> And my head is spinning trying to sort all this out.
02:59:47: <EdraCrow> ::shakes her head:: if it were altering them, they likely couldn't use them the same way...I think the detonation is just to make the crystals accessible
02:59:53: <Capt_Crow> What would happen if we caved in that vent hole?
03:00:22: <LtConstance> Not sure sir but it migh endanger the planet
03:00:29: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> the nuclear detonations causing a chemical reaction to take place at the atomic level?
03:00:29: <LtConstance> Might
03:00:49: <BrielleJayde> Making something airborn but not changing the crystals?
03:00:55: <EdraCrow> ::considers:: I don't know...
03:01:50: <EdraCrow> +Henry+ Do you have any information on this planet that we didn't know when we got here? We have observations, but they're not connecting, and I think we're missing some piece of information.
03:02:51: <Capt_Crow> He shook his head. +Nothing. We sent in probes but they're shot out of the whole. I shot in phaser and it caused an earthquake and now the planet's back to snoring. I don't have a clue where to go from here.
03:03:05: <Capt_Crow> of the hole*
03:03:15: <BrielleJayde> ::Hears Henry and raises an eyebrow:: Planet fighting back?
03:03:28: <EdraCrow> ::looking over the readings he sent earlier, but stops when he says something:: snoring?
03:03:38: <LtConstance> It's like the planet is alive
03:03:42: <EdraCrow> ::looks at Brie for a moment::
03:03:54: <BrielleJayde> ::Catches Edra’s look::
03:03:58: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> a sleeping rock? that doesn't like to having bomb blown up in its belly
03:04:16: <Capt_Crow> ++The vents blow out gases then suck it back in. I know its not snoring but it was the first thing that came to mind.
03:04:39: <BrielleJayde> You don’t think..::Shakes head:: Snoring might be accurate..
03:04:49: <EdraCrow> ++No...you might be more right than you know...
03:04:53: <EdraCrow> Prophets...
03:05:11: <BrielleJayde> Someone needs to shut down this thing, fast.
03:05:13: <EdraCrow> ::looks at Haydon:: so it sends out a defense mechanism...
03:05:47: <Capt_Crow> ++The locals are about to detonate another blast for their mining.
03:05:50: <EdraCrow> ::nods to Brie::
03:06:05: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> that kinda what I was thinking
03:06:11: <BrielleJayde> ::Hears Henry:: We need to stop that.
03:06:12: <EdraCrow> We need to stop that...
03:06:21: <BrielleJayde> (HA!)
03:06:26: <EdraCrow> +We're on it
03:06:38: <EdraCrow> ::grins at Brie:: jinx
03:06:46: <BrielleJayde> ::Smirks::
03:07:10: <EdraCrow> ::heads for the door, looking for Halcorn::
03:08:54: <BrielleJayde> ::Follows Edra::
03:09:27: <EdraCrow> ::walks quickly down a hallway, turns a corner, and another until she almost runs into him:: Doctor. We may have found what's happening, but we need to ask your people to do something that's not going to be received very well
03:09:43: <BrielleJayde> And it needs done quickly, Doctor.
03:09:52: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> ::confused:: what is it?
03:10:11: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> ::looking from Edra to Brie::
03:10:35: <BrielleJayde> ::Sighs:: Shut the whole thing down, the crystal gathering, all of it. This isn’t a planet..
03:11:00: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> Do, what?
03:11:18: <BrielleJayde> Exactly as I said.
03:12:47: <EdraCrow> Is it possible to talk to Lurin again?
03:12:57: <EdraCrow> We need to talk to him.
03:13:02: <BrielleJayde> Before the next explosion is done?
03:13:23: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> ::looks at them:: I can get him over coms.
03:13:53: <EdraCrow> As fast as you can, please.
03:14:12: <Capt_Crow> Helm, re position us over their intended detonation site. Lock transporters onto their explosive but don't grab it yet.
03:14:14: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> ::nods and waves them to follow him::
03:14:33: <BrielleJayde> ::Looks to Edra:: We never would have thought that..especially if Henry hadn’t said what he did.
03:15:03: <EdraCrow> Halcorn> ::within a few minutes, he has a comline open so they can see Lurin and talk to him::
03:15:21: <EdraCrow> ::nods to Brie::
03:15:37: <EdraCrow> Lurin> What have you found?
03:16:17: <BrielleJayde> ::Punches information into their systems quickly, making sure Lurin can see it:: We found that…
03:16:33: <EdraCrow> We need you to stop the mining operations.
03:17:00: <EdraCrow> ::steps to the side so he can see what Brie showed him:: I know it's a hefty request, but we think your planet is more than any of us thought.
03:18:30: <EdraCrow> Lurin> ::sees what is shown him, and stares for a moment, amazed:: Uh...of course. ::turns off screen to send a message::
03:18:48: <BrielleJayde> ::Looks back at Edra:: Still betting this won’t go over well.
03:19:19: <EdraCrow> We'll see.
03:19:51: <EdraCrow> Lurin> ::turns back to them:: I have gotten it temporarily halted, but the mining minster is going to want some answers.
03:20:07: <BrielleJayde> It’s a start..
03:20:33: <EdraCrow> ::nods:: of course. We'll need some time to put all the information together, but we can do that.
03:21:26: <EdraCrow> Lurin> If you're right...
03:21:45: <BrielleJayde> You’ll all need to relocate for starters.
03:21:47: <EdraCrow> ::nods:: There will be some big changes coming for your people.
03:22:22: <Capt_Crow> 4Topor> ::Getting word of the hiatus from the bomb site:: The outworlders are behind this. ::He looked to one of the engineers:: Detonate it. Now.
03:24:00: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE DEVICE EXPLODES, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TREMORS SPREAD FROM THAT POINT, STRONGER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN BEFORE
03:24:35: <LtConstance> Ship was positioned over detonation cite
03:24:48: <Capt_Crow> OPS> Sir, the weapon was detonated after we learned they would stand down. We don't know why.
03:24:51: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Topor is an idoit
03:25:22: <BrielleJayde> ::Notices the tremors and tries to find something to grab onto, failing, and loses her footing, landing hard:: Oof.
03:25:38: <Capt_Crow> +Edra+ They detonated the weapon. We're showing shocks of at least 7 and rising.
03:26:08: <LtConstance> Monitoring the shocks
03:27:25: <EdraCrow> We need to get out of here
03:27:58: <EdraCrow> ::helps Brie get up::
03:28:16: <BrielleJayde> We’d need sent to sickbay ::Takes Edra’s help:: I’m okay, just bruised.
03:29:06: <EdraCrow> ::nods::
03:29:25: <LtConstance> " si do you want me to bean the away team straight to sickbay
03:29:43: <EdraCrow> Medical> +Bridge+ Sir, we're able to isolate the microbe and the biofilters can eliminate it.
03:30:47: <Capt_Crow> +Do it and get them back.
03:31:21: <EdraCrow> 4ACTION: THE AWAY TEAM IS BEAMED BACK ABOARD THE SHIP
03:32:05: <BrielleJayde> ::Looks around when they are beamed back:: Wait, no sickbay?
03:32:21: <LtConstance> " the away team is back sir"
03:32:55: <EdraCrow> ::looks around the transporter room:: +Henry+ What's going on?
03:33:18: <EdraCrow> <<find pause points>>
03:33:19: <BrielleJayde> I’m not going near Ossan if this thing isn’t clearned up...
03:33:24: <Capt_Crow> +Edra+ Bio filters took care of the microbe.
03:34:00: <BrielleJayde> ::Sighs with relief:: Thank goodness. I need some mother/son time, badly, after all that.
03:34:02: <BrielleJayde> ::Paused::
03:34:15: <LtConstance> :paused:
03:34:28: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: Paused ::

03:35:23: <EdraCrow> Um...I'm gonna assume the captain's paused s well...
03:35:29: <BrielleJayde> lol
03:35:34: <Capt_Crow> ya
03:35:36: <EdraCrow> Ok, thank you guys for staying late...
03:35:45: <BrielleJayde> we started late, it is okay
03:35:48: <LtConstance> No pro lolol
03:35:49: <EdraCrow> I wanted to make sure we got this wrapped up.
03:35:55: <LtConstance> Prob
03:36:06: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> ok all im out for the night - sorry I was late getting home tonight - see you all next week?
03:36:12: <EdraCrow> If I get a chance, I'll try to wrap this up, but my week just got busy as of yesterday
03:36:27: <EdraCrow> we're still meeting next week, boss?
03:36:54: <BrielleJayde> Did he fall asleep?
03:36:55: <Capt_Crow> yes
03:36:59: <BrielleJayde> LOL
03:37:05: <EdraCrow> ::thumbs up::
03:37:14: <EdraCrow> ok...goodnight all...thanks again
03:37:14: <BrielleJayde> okie dokie, yeah i gotta crash too. night guys!
03:37:17: <EdraCrow> DISMISSED
