Pilgrim 5/18/2021

[8:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *
[8:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens in darkness, but not the darkness between the stars this time. As the viewer watches, beams of light come in to illuminate exotic deep sea fish and crustaceans skittering about.
[9:02][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:beneath the waves as deep water-adapted probes moved along the alien seabeds in search of an ancient and long forgotten treasure. T'Pang's log can be heard as a voiceover as the camera pulls out to.
[9:02][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:show the Pilgrim high above, watching and monitoring their progress...*
[9:02][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 98133.32 , The Pilgrim is in orbit of LMC-2949-31 and currently conducting and excavation of what we believe was an ancient Saneltei city. Acording to records in the archive .
[9:04][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:we believe they had a method for working with veracysium. After a million years it is unlikily we will find anything useful, but the attempt must be made. Besides we need a nice quite mission to giv
[9:05][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:us the time to process events from the recent temporal fracture. End Log
[9:05][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:**quiet not quite :
[9:06][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shut off the log recorder and puts it away.-
[9:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Nothign in sector 41, moving to sector 42
[9:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On the viewscreen, the bridge crew could see a very unhappy-looking fish that looked to be about eighty percent teeth trying to attack the probe, despite being maybe a fraction of its size.
[9:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor beep-booped scans over the planet, focusing on the details of where Gir was from the maps.
[9:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Awwww. That one's adorable.
[9:06][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles some- Oh..how adorrabl
[9:07][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li is main engineering, monitoring the probe's integrity readings.
[9:07][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin shook his head* Poor other fishes.
[9:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Small but mighty, I like 'em.
[9:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--steps out onto the bridge-- "anything to report?
[9:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Let's hope it doesn't manage to eat the probe, that thing isn't good for digestion.
[9:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We have found one overly optimistic fish specie
[9:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to mr 80%teeth on the viewscreen
[9:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i doubt it is attempting to eat it, probably warning it away from its territory..
[9:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Yes...such a cuties is it not
[9:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Little in terms of anything artificial, though. Nature's taken it all back, as least enough of it that you can't even tell anyone used to live here.
[9:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...it is certainy charming..
[9:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The toothy fish tried to headbutt the probe, then clearly regretted it and began to swim off.
[9:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks some to orestes- One of the many reasonsa culture needs to ,..'just keep swimming
[9:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is unfortunate.
[9:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles at the head butt
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister T'Ghor tune the sensors to search for traces of veracysium.
[9:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps Ice
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain.
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Tuning and modifying search aprameters.
[9:12][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I would imagine time..even water would have ahard time eroding veracysiu
[9:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Very likely, Commander.
[9:12][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Stuff can be harder than neutroniu
[9:13][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Mister Sulok
[9:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But it is also harder to detect. DUe to... you know. Being veracysium.
[9:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Lieutenant?
[9:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- also tru
[9:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Valkriss at that..-- "of any artifivial substances it would have the best chance of surviving a million years..
[9:14][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Especially if this race worked with i
[9:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Provided no one came to scoop it up in all that time.
[9:14][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...i hadnt thought of tha
[9:14][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Time and water would erode away mining operation
[9:14][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Are you seeing the fluxations on the second probe's power levels
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...that is an assumption I am making. 
[9:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "They did, but Dametha told us that only a few pounds of it were ever found or excavated from the planet by her species.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...In their recorded history, at least.
[9:15][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:..Dametha..-snarls alittle
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You didn't like her, ma'am?
[9:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"more than likily this is as they say, a wild ornethoid chase..
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I believe it's a religious thing, Lieutenant. Stuffign someone into a computer instead of allowing them a natural death is something... un-klingon.
[9:16][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I have trust issues Lieutenant -offers abitof a smile
[9:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to T'Ghor
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, that's your right, ma'am.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do far Dametha has not given me any reason to mistrust her. 
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Probe 3 has found some very cold spots deep underground, Captain.
[9:20][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:a program is only as honest as her programmerscaptai
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"She remains largely an unknown quantity however...
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Want me to try and dig down with the probe, Captain?
[9:20][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "I am, Lieutenant. I believe we can compensate for it.
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks to T'Ghor-- "A cold spot? is that unusual for water this deep?
[9:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It's unusual to be -this- cold, ma'am. I'm detecting one too. It's -deep.-
[9:21][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Make it so
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. It's not what water cold is supposed to be.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Take the probe to the edge and try to scan into the area. I don't want to risk the probe by sending it in completely blind.
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That is perhaps where the location we should check is given the nature of veracysium to cool its surroundings
[9:23][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There is an error alarm from Sulok's console, and he taps frantically on it.
[9:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Ma'am, we just lost probe two.
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor drove probe three closer to theedge to scan.
[9:24][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Is there something wrong
[9:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The probes are not designed for this depth
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Gayle-- "Probe two...What was it doing at the time?
[9:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "It was just moving along its designated path.
[9:25][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Probe two is unable to compensate for this depth despite its modifications, sir.
[9:25][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Maybve our friend..tried a little harder and ate it
[9:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Could be something innocent, like a fish.
[9:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Valkriss.
[9:26][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Can we retrieve it
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The image for Probe Three on the viewscreen flickered momentarily as T'Ghor moved it manually.
[9:27][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Always a bigger fish out ther
[9:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Did we receive any indication of a problem before losing contact?
[9:27][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Likely, sir, but you should inform the bridge.
[9:27][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Engineering to bridg
[9:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am getting something that seems like... Interference.
[9:28][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Ah here is engineering Captai
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we may need to equip an aqua shuttle for working at these depths...assuming we find something worth looking at.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Is it just the depth or?" *He took the probe just a little bit upwards to see if there is still issues.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Go ahead engineering..=/\
[9:28][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Lets hope Li andhis gangkno
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen no longer flickered as T'Ghor raised the probe.
[9:29][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= The second probe was unable to compenseate for the pressures of this depth despite the modifcations we made for it
[9:30][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Crushed then
[9:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=understood, even with the modifications the probes were not really designed for this. have your people prepare and aqua shuttle..we may need it if we find anything interesting. =/\
[9:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I beleive we had engineerign modifyign a delta flyer.
[9:31][DOIC4]Rin@Gonz.:*RIN sits Studying the data from planetary samples, just glad the protector is in space and not in the ocean.
[9:31][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Understood
[9:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to T'Pang.* "Yes, Captain... we do have a modified shuttle.
[9:32][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- You relaly want to rol out that aqushuttle dont you captain
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Who doesn't want to go for a submarine ride?
[9:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..its seems like a good time to roll it out and we rarly get a chance to use it Valkriss.
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or atleast we will soon it seems they are finishing th emodifications
[9:33][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to her- Aye ma'am..no argument from me -nods to orestes- Indee
[9:33][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well, let's make certain the aquashuttle can handle those pressures
[9:36][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "I believe Lieutenant Zohle was nearly finished.
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well what ever we have available, should be able to be outfitted to survive the depths and the cold better than the probes..
[9:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I believe Li has adeltaflyer already int eh works Captai
[9:38][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:As Marcus has pointedou
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Valkriss.-
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes Unfortunatley the Aqua shuttle was gogin to be laoded on tuesday. before we went through teh wormhole
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It would seem that day once again strikes a federation ship
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sighs-
[9:38][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Good
[9:38][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Good
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...We will need a crew for the shuttle..
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Always does. I'm picking up a lot of sediment, but... I believe there's an underwater cavern system there, too.
[9:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "If we can make a path there, we'll be that much closer to the cold spot we're reading.
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Is it looking safe to drill?
[9:40][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:A cavern ssytem...if they worked in verscysum..perhaps apocket facitity survived
[9:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It'd annoy the local fishies, but we can probably shoo them away before we drill.
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That could be it. Or some type of shield system that has survived
[9:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps..
[9:41][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to marcus
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..welll I want to get a good look before we start to disturb anything.
[9:42][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] =/\= "Zohle to Zorin. Modifications have been finished to the Delta flyer, should be good for your fishing trip or whatever.
[9:42][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We should at leastclear the areaaround any possible opening ma'a
[9:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That's what the probes were for, ma'am.
[9:42][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right..
[9:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-quietly toT'Pang- Pouting
[9:43][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Thank you. Good work Lieutenant
[9:44][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Engineering to bridge...the modifications are complete
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--eyes Valkriss at that.-- "i am Vulcan...we don't pout.." --she answers back quietly.-
[9:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods still just to her- I am just checking..your answerrshave gotten..shor
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Good work Engineering.=/\
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stands up.-
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She spun around in her chair to look at T'Pang with the Puppy Dog Wants To Go On A Walk eyes.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"mister T'Ghor you are with me." --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Lieutenant Teeth report to the shuttle bay..=/\
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"orestes you may as well come alone as well.
[9:46][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] =/\= "Already got my boating playlist loaded, ma'am!
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain... I believe Lieutenant Orestes may be of use as well.
[9:46][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-scowls just alittle- Skipper..you're not thinking of going in first are you
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods at T'Pang.
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Valkriss you have the bridge.
[9:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...Marcu
[9:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks over- Gear u
[9:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Might I also suggest bringing an engineer and a medic, just in case?
[9:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Might I also suggest bringing an engineer and a medic, just in case?
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"are you sending a baby sitter with me Valkriss?
[9:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to Tpang- I want you protected Captai
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Should also bring medical
[9:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Much more political way of putting i
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"do we have enough room for all that in a DElta flyer?
[9:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Yes i suggest Li and perhaps Ri
[9:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:It will be coz
[9:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If we want to save on personel space I can pilot the shuttle
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"fine, but I call shotgun.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] Not going with them, Valkriss?

[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..oh no Gayle Valkriss has to stay here and work..
[9:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he headed to the trubolift
[9:49][DOIC4]Rin@Gonz.:*Hearing the conversation, RIN start gathering gear, dreading the idea, but preparing to do his duty.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives Valkriss a smirk.-

[10:10][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--leans forward in her chair, looking out the window with obvious excitment.-
[10:11][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She side-eyed Teeth as his music blasted.* "You really had to pick the one about being eaten by a sea monster first?
[10:11][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "When YOU fly, YOU can pick the music.
[10:11][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean.... it sets the tone well.
[10:11][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I prefer the one about killing the sea monster, ,though.

[10:12][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She glanced between Teeth and T'Ghor.
[10:13][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked to Orestes, shrugging a bit.
[10:13][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes lets try not to get swallowed by any large sea creatures..
[10:14][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You almost make it sound like you aren't excited about this, Captain.

[10:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Euphrates dipped into the atmosphere, the lush landmasses sprawled out before them, though Teeth turned them instead toward a massive gulf between two of the continents by the equatorial belt.
[10:14][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"this is an archeology expedition Lietenant, we are not here for biology..
[10:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nothing wrong with some extra credit, Captain.
[10:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Well, there are some fairly large creatures on our radar, but they appear to be mostly in the upper reaches of the water, ma'am. Not this deep.

[10:16][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Besides, Rei would never forgive us if we didn't find some fish for her to name.
[10:17][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Did she already name the teeth fish?
[10:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles- Thank you Vera...letshope it staysd this wa
[10:17][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..you can collect all the fish samples you want...I would rather examine them from the outside..
[10:17][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"I wouldn't mind some local species scans and samples myself.
[10:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Not to my knowledge.
[10:17][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, we'll get her some good scans.
[10:18][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Sheild strength is steady Teeth. Youa re good to go for dive
[10:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Euphrates dipped below the clouds and rapidly made its way to the surface.
[10:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Hold on, this should be awesome.
[10:19][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He holds on, ready for the awesome.
[10:19][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"there are some fairly large aquatic anaimals in the upper waters..it is unclear if they are predators or not...so steer clear..but they don't live in the depths were we are going.
[10:20][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:* The next song on Teeth's playlist began to blast ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w95cBt7jqNg ) as they plunged into the water, their screen obfuscated at first but soon clearing up as they go..
[10:20][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lieutenant T'Ghor lets make sure we get good records of our trip.
[10:20][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:down into the clear waters. They can see large schools of alien fish scattering as they make their way down, and there is an absolutely gargantuan, purple-skinned sea creature covered in barnacles..
[10:21][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Scanning and recording, Captain... Aww, that's cute.
[10:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:and corals lazily drifting nearby, not seeming to even acknowledge their presence.
[10:21][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He scans the big purple thing for Rei.
[10:21][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"facinating..
[10:21][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There we go, Teeth!" *He cheers as the song starts.
[10:22][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li is monitoring the water pressure on the hull.
[10:22][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks to Li-- "Make sure you keep a close eye on hull integrity Mister Li.
[10:23][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Aye captain
[10:23][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:*RIN attempts to take his mind off the water, by paying attention to the sensor data.

[10:26][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"Nothing sir, nothing beyond a little discomfort. I will deal with it sir.

[10:27][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Just remember it is not much different than space.
[10:28][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wow.. that thing's a mammal.
[10:28][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"On its back is a whole damn ecosystem.
[10:28][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...except for the crushing pressure Mister Aquila..

[10:28][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"Sir? It's vasty different.
[10:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Whale whale whale, what have we here?
[10:29][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Crushing pressure, vaccuum suffocation, results the same.
[10:29][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles
[10:29][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"Which is why I will deal with it.
[10:29][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"true, but the engineering is vastly different...
[10:29][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, and don't forget about the explosive decompression.
[10:29][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed.
[10:29][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:annnd here comes the which is more dangberous debate..outers pace or underwater -shakers her head
[10:30][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're all real fun...

[10:30][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Fear not, at this depth, it wouldn't matter
[10:30][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:*Simple nod, then turn back to the screen.
[10:31][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"don't worry doctor I don't plan on making you swim, but if I do I will make sure you have your floaties..
[10:31][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he checked the sensors
[10:31][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The little modified shuttle went deeper, the pressure indicator going higher and higher as the sunlight faded.
[10:32][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is not something we have on Vulcan...oceans like this..
[10:32][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A few of the teeth-fish could be seen in the lights of the shuttle. They bore a remarkable resemblance to their pilot, come to think of it.
[10:32][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Aww.
[10:32][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...yes they are ...adorable..
[10:33][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Teeth, they kinda look like you.
[10:33][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As they continued on in their little space-submarine, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_vppOp5vec came on.
[10:33][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "They're beautiful.
[10:33][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"there is a certain natural beauty to it all..
[10:34][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Far ahead of them, they could see the little light from Probe 3.
[10:34][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"there is probe three. Orestes see if you can interface with it.
[10:35][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yes ma'am." *She tapped away at her little mini-console.
[10:36][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is likily at the limits of its ability to dive...We may have to leave it here.
[10:36][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We're in, ma'am. The cavern I detected is roughly twenty five hundred meters through this sediment.
[10:37][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Can we transport through it from here
[10:37][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"If it is only sedimentary drift.
[10:38][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Alot of it.
[10:38][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Potentially, but if there's no air on the other side, we'd be beaming to our deaths.
[10:38][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think it will be better if we drilled? I amn ot sure.
[10:38][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He does his scans.
[10:38][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We could send a camera.
[10:39][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Take readings and determine after returning it.
[10:39][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is a good idea, sending in a small camera drone first.
[10:39][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Aye, I'd agree.
[10:39][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah.
[10:39][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets do that then..
[10:40][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't see any indication of air on the other side.
[10:40][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we have to assume there wont be a breathable atmosphere, especially after a million years..
[10:41][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She swung her chair toward Li.* "So, engineer guy, going to get us that camera?
[10:41][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"More than likely, Captain. WIth how advanced Gir was though, I imagine they had a contingency plan of some kind. So maybe there is a system inside that will give us some air once we activate it.
[10:42][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"maybe...that assumes they intended this structure to last a million years..
[10:42][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...but I doubt that..
[10:42][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fair point.
[10:42][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "A million years, through nuclear blasts, and the complete extinction of the species that built it.
[10:43][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"likily the tunnels are flooded with ocean water.
[10:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:There
[10:44][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets send that camera down.." --she looks back impatiently.-
[10:44][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li loks over to Orestes.* What I had replicated should do the trick
[10:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Uh, right. Stick it on the transporter pad, then.
[10:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods and goes to retrieve the camera and place it on the pad.
[10:49][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The camera disappeared off the pad.
[10:49][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns to her console and calls up the feed from the camera.-
[10:50][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The feed comes on. It shows a submerged cavern with a few crustaceans crawling around.
[10:51][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looks for signs of it ever being not just a cave.
[10:51][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"more or less as I anticipated.." --she says with a hint of self satisfaction.-
[10:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks at the skipper's comment
[10:52][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The cave walls are... weird.
[10:52][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They are too straight... almost as if they were carved like that once.
[10:53][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Or it was originally burrowed by a massive subterranean rock-chewer.
[10:53][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...that would seem to indicate it is an artificial structure..
[10:53][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Indeed, Captain.
[10:54][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"or perhaps it is the burrow of a giant sea worm?
[10:54][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They wouldn't be so... accurately straight then, I think.
[10:54][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "In any case, it doesn't seem like drilling through to the cavern will cause damage should we pop out on this side.
[10:55][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right lets prepare to make a doorway for the shuttle..
[10:55][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The ship should be able to maneuver as well. With teeth's skills anyway
[10:55][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Prepparign teh phasers
[10:56][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..any places of low structural integrity we should avoid?
[10:56][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Ready when you are, Lieutenant.
[10:56][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain, we are ready to commnce digging
[10:57][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Li and T'Ghor at her question.-
[10:57][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He checks the structural itnegrity, screen sharing wtih Li.
[10:58][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes a loko.
[10:59][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It looks like it will be fine, Captain.
[10:59][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^= Valkriss to Euphrate
[10:59][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Euphrates here Valkriss go ahead.=/\
[11:00][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^= Captain do your images ferom inside of that cavern show the baracle or sediment depth over those walls
[11:00][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:or show what is perhaps underneath the deposits
[11:01][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=..not really Valkriss..We will likily have to perform further inspectiosn when we are inside.=/\
[11:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She rubbed her forehead.* "It's impossible to tell from images alone.
[11:01][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^= I think perhaps you might consider if it an artifical structure yo are drilling into..those depsoits ight grow unstable
[11:04][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She shrugged at T'Pang.* "It's possible. It's also possible we could wake up the Deep Ones drilling into the sediment.
[11:04][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"This whole situation's been lovecraftian enough already.
[11:05][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Strangely haven't seen any octopus or squid-like creatures, though.
[11:05][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Lovecraftian
[11:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You know, Lovecraft, that show that you have to pay per view to watch it.
[11:06][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"I'm thinking it might be something closer to an andorian ice bore worm, but in a macro scale.
[11:06][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wait, what? It's not a show.
[11:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I mean, technically it's an erotic drama...
[11:07][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The lost city full of knowledge in the arctic circle thing, Li..." *He gets cut off by Orestes.* "I think we are talking about two totally different thigns...
[11:07][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You gotta send me a link, though.
[11:07][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "No, I specifically remember, it was called Love Craft.
[11:07][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets start the drilling, we can start with a small hole and see if it leads to any instability...then widen it..
[11:07][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs the bridge of his nose.
[11:07][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-as an avbidreaderof her adopted races literary works just......facepalms
[11:07][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Phrasing, Captain...
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...It's not that bad of a show, truth be told...
[11:08][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives T'Ghor a confused look-
[11:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I know..Ive...-just stop as Tpang makes her comment and closes her eyes
[11:08][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We were talking about erotic dramas, and you went off about... You know, sorry, Captain.
[11:08][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Don't worry, I got it at least.
[11:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...that made it to the flight log..
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We can always redact it later, ma'am.
[11:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- I sweare the Admiral will never let herlive that one down -chuckles
[11:10][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--shakes her head-- "i am trying to keep you people focused on the task at hand..
[11:10][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Right. Focused. Perfectly focused.
[11:10][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Mmmmhm...
[11:10][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"to be honest none of you seem very focused..
[11:11][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We're just excited.
[11:11][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Orestes plugged in a few numbers and sent them over to Aquila.* "Fire at will, Lieutenant.
[11:13][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*fires the phasers
[11:14][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--monitors the progress of the digging.-
[11:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The little shuttle's phasers began boring into the ground, stirring up sediment and causing fish to go swimming away from the strange sight as they bored down.
[11:15][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lieutenant T'Ghor keep an eye on the stability of the tunnels.
[11:15][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A little shelled creatures with many inky black tentacles trailing from its opening pooped angrily at them as it swam away.
[11:16][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--frowned as the creature launched its poo at them in anger.-
[11:16][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Watching, Kaptain.
[11:17][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Poor thing.

[11:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The small tunnel was dug quite efficiently by their phasers, and before they knew it they had dug themselves a hole that even an Irushey would approve of.
[11:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Can't win over everyone, ma'am.
[11:18][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a very clean and well dug tunnel Mister Aquila..

[11:20][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Little bit of sediment settling around, but it looks stable for now.
[11:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Thought you'd never ask, ma'am." *He took them into the deep, dark hole.
[11:22][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Looks a little tight...
[11:22][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "I'll go easy, don't worry.
[11:23][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He smirked.
[11:23][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We should have enough clearance as long as he doesn't drift.
[11:23][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..the stabalizers should keep us on track..
[11:24][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*For what seemed like hours they descended... though in truth it was only a few long, dark minutes. Finally, they arrived on the other side, in the midst of the tunnel they had seen through the..
[11:25][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:camera. It stretched off in two directions; left at roughly their same level, and right going further downward into the depths.
[11:26][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor scans away for the coldness.
[11:27][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how deep do you imagine this goes?
[11:28][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We need to go right, down into the depths.
[11:28][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's where the unnatural cold is.
[11:28][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...I am concerned about losing contact with the Pilgrim if you head down.
[11:28][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:**if we head down.
[11:29][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We should retain communications with them, though beaming up may prove more difficult if we get deep sea trench deep.

[11:34][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps one ping only
[11:35][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We'd get a much clearer picture with more than one, but it's your call, ma'am.
[11:36][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets go ahead and perform a regular sonar scan..
[11:36][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Aye ma'am." *She hit the button.
[11:37][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--monitors the screen for any signs of Chthulu.-
[11:39][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A map started to form of the tunnel, showing an extensive system of them. At the very bottom in a mid-sized chamber, they could see the pip indicating a vastly lowered temperature.
[11:39][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There it goes.
[11:39][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the cold area seems fairly localized...as if caused by an object..
[11:40][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "An ancient artifact that even the Saneltei forgot about when building their vault?
[11:40][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Mayhaps.
[11:40][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well let's go take a look.
[11:41][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Teeth.-
[11:41][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Aye ma'am, plotting us a route... hm, seems most of the bigger ones leading to that chamber are collapsed.
[11:42][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Most? But, not all.
[11:42][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't help but wonder if that was intentional.
[11:43][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Yeah, no direct route from here, but if we go left here and swoop around, take a little detour, we should still be able to get there.
[11:44][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets do tha then, just take it slow.
[11:44][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Euphrates turned and began slowly making its way down the hall.
[11:44][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Anyone know any good sea shanties?
[11:44][DOIC6]Rin@Gonz.:"Other than barnacle bill, no.
[11:45][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"let's keep an eye out for any potentially dangerous sea creatures..
[11:45][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wey-hey and up she rises...
[11:46][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Doesn't look like there's much more than crabs and some fish... if anything big lived here, they'd need bigger prey unless there was another way out.
[11:47][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is good to hear, but we should still use caution. If we get kill Valkriss is going to be upset..
[11:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That and, you know, we'll be dead.
[11:48][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yeah but I am more concerned about Valkriss being upset..
[11:48][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Priorities, ma'am.
[11:48][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She'll chase us to Stovokor and eat our hearts.
[11:48][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or she will enjoy the promotion
[11:48][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or both.
[11:49][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Not me. I'll be reincarnated, of course. Some sort of squacking bird, I think, and fly right into a disembarking shuttle window.
[11:49][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Reincarnated
[11:49][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..right as a Vulcan I think they will end up storing my Katra in a jar somewhere...
[11:50][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So long as they don't get it and t he marmelade jars mixed up..
[11:50][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "As in, incarnated again, Li. Not all of us can party with your Prophets in their electric LSD wormhole.
[11:51][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:You sound very confident
[11:51][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Not in the slightest, actually.
[11:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I will walk th eelysium fields
[11:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And wait for those to jooin me, or be damned to tartarus. Either way
[11:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "But, in the last milisecond of existence, as the brain fires off those last few jolts of electricity before the big goodbye, who knows what sort of crazy shit I'll come up with that'll..
[11:52][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor laughs.* "Who's to say it won't be an endless void?
[11:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:serve as a personal eternity.
[11:54][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well considering I have already died, Lieutenant...I have an idea of what I will face
[11:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-just facepalms now
[11:54][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She smirked.* "I'm sure you do, Zorin.
[11:54][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li shrugs.
[11:54][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--blinks as she realizes that Valkris has been listening this whole time.-
[11:55][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to vera- ..redacting..still yes
[11:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I'm sure it doesn't need to make it into the official report, ma'am.
[11:56][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--leans in and presses the comm button -- =/\=Sorry Valkriss...no offense intended..=/\= --she says quietly-
[11:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Okay...just making sure you and I are on the same pag
[11:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^- Um..Not sure what you mean Skipper..look all good on our end here...-clears her throat- as long as you are being..carefu
[11:56][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Bit of a tight corner, hold on..." *THere was a light bump and shudder.
[11:57][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--grabs her arm rests-
[11:57][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, wouldn't it be fun if this cave was the insides of a sea monster...
[11:57][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She winced and gripped her head.* "My sympathies to all the fish whose bowls I ever tapped on.
[11:57][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--Then quickly makes sure her seat belt is tight enough.-
[11:57][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's why all pet shops have signs asking you -not- to do it.
[11:58][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...Listen, if you don't read the sign, you can't be responsible for not doing what's on it.
[11:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She had a pained look.
[11:59][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is completely irrational Orestes, ignorance of the rules is not an excuse..
[11:59][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sorry ma'am, I didn't know.
[11:59][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, shame Commander Vaylith isn't here. She has great lectures on the topic.
[11:59][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...now you do..
[12:00][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks down sadly as she suddenly misses her Borg.-
[12:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The little shuttle made its way down deeper until at last they came to the small chamber, the ground covered in a big layer of sediment.*
[12:02][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks out the window.-
[12:02][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Somewhere under all the dirt... at least three meters.
[12:02][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"care to hazzard a guess?
[12:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The room appeared to have been larger at one point, but one wall seemed to have collapsed on the side furthest from them.
[12:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*looked at his console
[12:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I have a pocket of coold 2.5 meters below us captain underneath the debris
[12:07][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sounds like what we're looking for, ma'am.
[12:07][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"about how big?
[12:08][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"is it something we could potentially tranport out?
[12:08][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if not we may have to make other arrangements for its extraction.
[12:08][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It's roughly a third of a meter long and half a meter wide
[12:09][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"can we get a lock on it?
[12:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We can lock onto everything around it and hope to extract whatever's inside it on the ship.
[12:10][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't think that will work..
[12:11][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Do you have any better ideas, ma'am?
[12:11][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't think we got another option, Captain.
[12:11][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It might. A low level phaser pulse might remvoe some of the lose debris
[12:11][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Wihtout damaging the object
[12:12][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..we are going to have to do with the old fashioned way. We will need to prepare a shelter down here and dig it out manually.
[12:13][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..it will take a lot more time..but since we don't what it is we can't risk damaging it.
[12:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Fair enough, ma'am... but we'll need another shuttle to come down here with additional equipment if we're going to erect a shelter this deep under water.
[12:14][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "We will need more equipment and personnel.
[12:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She smirked.* "Sounds like T'Pang just really likes her submarine.
[12:15][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles and nods- There is no stopping her no
[12:15][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, better get comfortable then, everyone. We're staying under the sea.
[12:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't mind.
[12:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's really comfy.
[12:16][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Euphrates to Pilgrim..=/\
[12:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^= Valkriss here Skippe
[12:18][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=I assume you have been listening, we are going to have to dig the object out manually. We will need more people and equipment..we will have to set up a shelter to serve as a base camp whie we dig
[12:19][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=6= -amused- Understood Ca[tain..i gave orders for a secondshuttle to bemodifed prior to your launch...if you send up amanifest of what you need illhave it sent dow
[12:20][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Right, We will put together a list of materials..=/\
[12:20][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As the crew on the submersible shuttle settled in for the long haul, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uTFF_3MaA began to play and the episode became a social. *
[12:20][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:=^= Soundsd good captai
[12:21][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I've already etarted with the list, ma'am
[12:22][DOIC6]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very good mister Li.."
