Surprisingly there were no more surprises in the the fortress, with the exception of the lone Orion that ran from the first engagement. The one inside the room was not the same person. There were no other ‘living’ Orions about. There were out numbered and out supplied by the Federation troops and the Orions (at least) one used the tunnels to escape into the surrounding area. The hand scanners of the officers nor the scanners of the shuttle could locate them.

Haygen hit his comms after receiving a briefing from his team =/\= Lieutenant, structure is secure. Permission to set a parameter”

Gunny Haygen

=^= Set a perimeter Gunny. Keep an eye on the sky, and make sure no one tries tunneling in on us. =^=

After returning to the bridge Jones felt he needed to speak directly with the Away Team =/\= Captian Jones to Lt. Commander Kiernan, your status Commander? =/\=

CO

=/\=Things are getting easier. We’ve achieved entry into the fortress, the marines have cleared the Orion presence, and the Starfleet team is about to sweep for the gems.=/\= Sara opened her tricorder and showed the map to her officers. She assigned groups to go in different directions. At the end of her orders, she added “good luck. Let’s get going.” With that, Sara turned and walked towards the room she was assigned to search.

-Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan, XO

=/\= Very good Commander, keep me apprised of the situation and let me know what resources you may need. =/\=

CO

“You heard the Commander,” Kate said as she turned back towards the teams, “move out. Keep your eyes and ears open.”

Flipping her own tricorder, she held it up in her left hand as she held her rifle in her right. She headed towards one of the other rooms and started a quick scan, trying to see if they could get an idea of where the gems were.

OOC: Hint Hint, remember the sim title - All that Glitters (is not gold) .

The mine area was mostly tapped out. Hence the abandonment and the easy occupation by the Orions. There were no collections of jewels or other precious minerals anywhere in the mines, at least not enough to be of any merit.

GM

“Talkrit said that what we were looking for should’ve been here somewhere. Broaden your scans. Anything that’s the slightest bit out of the ordinary, check it.” Sara modified her own tricorder’s settings. =/\=Kiernan to Chimera Sickbay. What’s the status of our injured native?=/\= Maybe Talkrit could help.

-Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan, XO

“Understood. Broadening our search for anything ‘out of the ordinary’,” Kate said as she started looking over the tricorder scans, looking at anything that wasn’t just stone.

2nd Lt Hawkins - Marine XO

Gunny Haygen stepped forward, “Lieutenant, id like permission to check the parameter and asses our current status and equipment, if we are going to be prolonged id expect we may need to set up a temporary Operating Post.”

Haygen

The widening scan told them, what they already knew, they were in a ‘unoccupied’ base with dozens of unused rooms. There were no life forms aside from themselves and the hundreds of scurrying creatures in this room.

The complex was huge. It formerly was a mining complex and ran for miles underground and within the mountain. There was a subterranean elevator system to several levels of tunnels. That elevator station could be guarded to protect from anyone underground, but guarding each tunnel and each level, that would be impossible with the personnel available. The exterior was easier to guard, the Orion’s had set up a network of tunnels in front of the main entrance and had a sensor net, including motion detection beams that would make an overland approach virtually impossible.

GM

“Go Gunny. This place is huge, and I’m not looking forward to searching for this one step at a time. Go ahead and set up a temporary command center, and see if you can reach the Chimera. We are going to need backup.”

2nd Lt Hawkins - Marine XO

As the annoying and daunting proposition of searching the whole complex was growing on the away team. One of the marines picked up a scurrying lizard/snake and the egg that it had just recently sprung from. “You know these eggs really look like huge gems. You think that means anything?”

GM

Haygen walked up to the Marine XO watching the young Marine pickup the rocks. “Lieutenant I do believe that these are the objectives. What do we need to do with them. I’d like to get off this planet.”

Haygen

Just outside the room the sounds of a transporter beam sounded as the CSO was beamed in from the Chimera. Sheriye entered the room, science tricorder out as she approached the group. “Ssirr, the Captain has ssent me down to sstudy these ‘egg’ type forrmations. What do you know of them so farr?” She asked as she ran her tricorder over the formations to see if they were indeed actual eggs or something else.

Sheriye CSO

Gunnery Sergeant Haygen stepped forward, “Welcome planet-side Lieutenant, Frankly I believe these may be the crystals that we were looking for. Can you confirm that?”

haygen

The CSO wasn’t present for the conversation, but the Away team offered to get the jewels from the Orizon’s. It now depends on what the Nelay’s meant by Jewels.

GM

Sheriye blinked then looked from Haygen to the egg/jewel objects before running her tricorder over them. Scans from the ship had indicated they might be eggs, were they actually crystalline in structure?

Sheriye CSO

Yes indeed, these ‘crystals’ were eggs, the eggs themselves were gem-like in nature, but they were biologically formed, much like pearls in a oyster. The question is were the native talking in figurative or literal terms.

GM

“Perhaps we should talk to one of the locals again. They only said that they were looking for jewels, but jewels come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. It could also be a problem with the universal translators.

“What would it take to get back the village and see if we might be able to get someone to come out and identify the jewels? And perhaps we can check in how Talkrit is doing.”

2nd Lt Hawkins - Marine XO

“Fasscinating.”Sheriye murmured.”They arre actually biological within but with a true crysstaline sstructurre without. Thesse could verry well be the ‘jewelss’ the nativess werre sspeaking of. Did they ssay what they wisshed with them?”

Sheriye CSO

“Can’t remember Lieutenant. I was hoping that we can get a hold of our friend that we beamed back up to the Chimera. He was hit by a weapon blast, so we sent him back to see if they could patch him up.”

Hawkins - A CO Commander

Sheriye frowned,”Do we have a contact among the nativess herre on the planet? If sso we could take one to sshow them. Sssee if it iss what they wanted.” She said looking up from her study of the ‘eggs’.

Sheriye CSO

Kate thought for a moment. “We could probably go back and ask them. But it was a bit of a hike. It would probably be quicker if the Chimera could beam us over to their location.”
