21:01CaptMcCloud:Captain's Log, Stardate 64045.54 (01/17/2387, 15:00 hours)
I am guessing at the stardate, as we are still stranded on a planet by a race called the Cruacians. We have been successful in finding means with which to survive and weapons. We have also had the time to train with these weapons.
We have yet to see any more of the Cruacians, or our supposed enemies.
(Commander Jorel? Would you like to add anything from the ship?)
21:05Cmdr_Jorel:((Not really))
21:06CaptMcCloud:Okay then....

21:13Dr_Compton:@ ::is stopped by the sound from inside and turns around and goes back inside, curiosuity will have to wait::
21:13CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ Group ] This waiting is driving me crazy. I think it is time to at least scout out to see if our supposed adversaries are in the area.
21:13Lt_Costa:AENG >[ ActCO ] Commander, the ship is operating within normal parameters, warp engines are stable

21:14LtjgBanning:SCI> [AcCO] Commander, I have a positive fix on that star.. well as positive as I can be seeing as the rift has not repoened.
21:15Bot:@ Rotund> :: glances to Daisy:: Weak, Doc. .... I can barely move.
21:17Bot:Borek> :: turns and acknowledges Costa's report:: Thank you, Lieutenant.
21:17Dr_Compton:@CMO>Rotund> It's the sleeping draught...it knocked you out for quite a while and left you groggy and lethargic...once you get a little stew in your belly you'll start to perk up. I'm going to look at your wound now okay?
21:17Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::delicately unwraps the dressing on his left foot::

21:19CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ Thomas ] :: ruffles his hair:: Just kidding, Thomas.
21:19Moonshadows:@TAC>[CO] I think I have enough sinew to afix the points to the shafts... Why can't we go vacation on Gamma Nairobi, sir? ::Whiskers spread in grin::
21:19Cmdr_Jorel:xo>[eng] Thank you MR. Costa
21:20Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ sci ] and where is that Lt?
21:20LtCmdrVanik:@ Crewman4> :: walks in to see the Doc::

21:21Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::recovers the wound:: Rotund> It looks clean so far. I want you to stay off of it. I'll get someone to bring you some stew.

21:21Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Crewman4] Hello is there a problem/? ::looks at the crewman::

21:24Lt_Costa:((back))
21:24CaptMcCloud:((wb))
21:25Moonshadows:@TAC>[CENG] I(f we had salt, I could tan the animal hides for shoulder bags
21:25Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Crewman4] Have a seat. ::gets a fresh cup of water:: I think you're right crewman. You have a bit of a sunburn. Hopefully this plant will work something like aloe. ::picks up a piece of a spongy looking plant and squeezes a little bit of some gel from the inside onto the back of her hand and then gently applies a small amount to the crewmn shdr::
21:26Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Crewman4] How does that feel?
21:26CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ TAC ] we need some waist belts and sheaths for the swords. Is that in your expertise?
21:26Lt_Costa:AENG >[ XO ] Commander, I'd be careful, that rift, or whatever it is, could tear us apart if we're not ready and too close when it opens if it opens
21:27Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ eng ] We're not going near the rift Mr. Costa, just around it to find out where our crew is
21:27Lt_Costa:AENG >[ XO ] Understood
21:27LtCmdrVanik:@ Crwmn4 >[ CMO ] :: smiles:: that feels better already Doc. :: glances out the window:: Seems like everyone else is tanning, but me.. I'm burning.
21:27Moonshadows:@TAC>[CO] They would not be durable, but I can, untanned hides have the unfortunate ability to stink, s ir
21:29Bot:Borek> [XO] I do find it strange the rift has not opened any more times.
21:29Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ helm ] prepare to engage, [Ops] send a message to Starfleet updating our situation. Let me know when it's sent and we'll set out
21:30Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Crewman4] ;;shows the crewman her neck:: You're not alone. You'd think with my Mediterranean heritage I'd tan well...but no. ::continues to apply the gel from the inside of the plant to the crewman:: Stay inside for the middle of the day...hopefully that will keep the burn to a minimum::y
21:31Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::finishes the application and remembers she promised Rotund stew and seeing no one to get it, goes and fetches a bowl herself and brings it back to the hungry Lieutenant;;
21:31Ltjg_Wren:ops >[ xo ] Aye sir. ::prepares the message::
21:31Bot:@ Thomas> [TAC] My mom knows a lot about plants. I wonder if there is one that we could use to tan the hides.
21:31Moonshadows:@TAC>::SHe selects a shaft, takes the short sword betweenb her feet, and carefully splits the wood a few inches, sets it aside and does it again, again, until there are slots for the spear points::
21:32LtCmdrVanik:HELM> :: happy to be taking some action:: [XO] Course laid in.
21:33Bot:@ THomas> :: watches Moon:: That is really cool, Sir.
21:33Ltjg_Wren:Ops >[ xo ] Message Sent Cmdr.
21:33Moonshadows:@TAC>[Thomas] We need something like tannin on Earth... salt would be good too, in this heat we could all use it for more than curing hides
21:34Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ Ops ] Acknowledged, [helm] Engage Cmdr.
21:34Bot:@ Thomas> Let me go ask my mom! :: runs off to the building::
21:35LtCmdrVanik:HELM >[ XO ] Aye, commander. :: taps the console, and the ship jumps to warp 1::
21:35LtCmdrVanik:HELM> Opening slip-stream conduit.... :: taps the console:: Now.
21:36Moonshadows:@TAC>[CO] Our hosts do not seem to think cigars are necessary ::Whuffs::
21:36Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::sits down to rest a bit::
21:36CaptMcCloud: =/\=ACTION: The slip-stream conduit opens and the Eagle slips on in. =/\=
21:37CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ TAC ] :: chuckles:: Can't say as I have ever found them necessary either, Lt.
21:37LtCmdrVanik:HELM >[ XO ] Slip-stream achieved, Commander.
21:37Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::closes her eyes for a second::
21:38Lt_Hart:@ CENG >[ CO ] I can take a team and head off to see if I can find anything.
21:38Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ helm ] good
21:38CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ CENG ] :: nods:: Go ahead. Keep it to a half hour out at most.
21:39Lt_Hart:@ CENG> :: Nods:: Aye, sir. :: chooses Crewman 3 and 5, and heads out::
21:40Bot:@ Thomas> ;; Bursts into the building:: Mom! Mom!
21:41Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::is startled awake and jumps up;; Thomas! are you alright? ::grabs ahold of her son and looks him over::
21:41LtCmdrVanik:@ Crewman4> :: walks over to Moonshadows:: Anything I can do to help, Lt.
21:42Bot:@ Thomas> :: gives his mom a silly look:: Of course I'm okay. Do you know of any plants that could produce something like salt?
21:42Moonshadows:@TAC>CM4> You can take these strands of sinew, get them wet, and try not to tangle them... soak them well
21:43Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Thomas] :;sighs in relief:: You just gave me a scare, I had nodded off a bit. Salt? What for?
21:43LtCmdrVanik:@ Crewman4> You got it! :: takes the strands over to the well, and dips the bucket into the well for water.::
21:44Moonshadows:@TAC>Computer! One liter, in a bowl, espresso, strong, hot, half cream!
21:44Bot:@ Thomas> Lt. Moonshadows says she could use it to tan the hides of the animals, so we could use them as weapons covers.
21:45Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Thomas] ::looks thoughtful:: No, other than finding a source of salt water or a salt flat nothing comes to mind but she could use a combination of things to effect a crude tanning.
21:45CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ TAC ] :: chuckes:: Nice try, Lt.
21:45Lt_Costa:AENG >[ XO ] Ship is stable commander, no problems to report
21:45Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Thomas] do you remember the tree that had the seeds that looked like acorns?
21:46Bot:@ Thomas> Yes, ma'am.
21:46Moonshadows:@TAC>[CO] I could try "computer, end program?" ::Whiskers spread forward::
21:46Lt_Costa:((guys, I gotta go, sorry, permission to depart?))
21:47Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ Eng ] Keep monitoring Lt
21:47Dr_Compton:@CMO> [Thomas] She could burn the wood of that plant to make a tanning agent.....the bark might also be helpful if she boils it to realease natural tannins.K/td>
21:47Cmdr_Jorel:(( thank you for coming Costa!))
21:47CaptMcCloud:@ CO >[ TAC ] Don't. I don't want to find out we have been on our own holodeck for the past four days.
21:47Dr_Compton:((bye hun glad u made it))
21:47Lt_Costa:((you're welcome))
21:47Lt_Costa left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
21:48Moonshadows:((I hope your weather treated you nicely, good bye))
21:48Bot:@ Thomas> I'll go tell her! Thanks, Mom! :: is out the door just as fast.::
21:48Dr_Compton:@CMO>[Thomas] The ash from the burned wood used with the liquid from the bark can do a rough job of tanning.
21:48Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::shakes her head::
21:49Bot:@ Thomas> :: runs out and relays the information to Moon, showing here which tree.::
21:50Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::allows herself to drift back off to sleep::
21:50CaptMcCloud:=/\=ACTION: The four hours pass. Hart's team has been back and out again several times, still not spotting the "enemy". =/\=
21:50LtCmdrVanik:HELM >[ XO ] We're approaching drop-out point, Commander.
21:51Moonshadows:@TAC>::WIth Thomas' help, she has prepared hides for tanning... it will nbe a slipshod job, but hopefully, their captors will bloody get on with something::
21:51Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::dreams they are in combat with scantily clad blue people::
21:51Dr_Compton:((oops wrong movie lol))
21:51CaptMcCloud:=/\=ACTION: Hart's team comes across a similar compound to what our crew is staying in:. =/\=
21:52CaptMcCloud:((LOL))
21:52Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ sci/tac ] Scan the area. Banning, I want to know if this is the place that was on the other side of the Rift, Tac, Make sure that ship is not currently in the area.
21:52Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ Ops ] Hailey, are there any signs of communication?
21:52Bot:@ Thomas> [TAC] That was pretty awesome, Lt.
21:53Ltjg_Wren:Ops> :: scans the area checking multiple frequencies ::
21:53LtCmdrVanik:HELM> :: drops the ship out of the conduit, back to warp one::

21:54Moonshadows:@TAC> [Thomas} your help was invaluaable cub, this coulod be your Walk
21:54LtjgBanning:SCI> [XO] Affirmative, Commander. The star chart matches up.
21:54Cmdr_Jorel:xo >[ sci ] any signs of where the ship might have gone?
21:55Bot:@ Thomas> :: looks at Moon with confusion in his eyes:: My walk?
21:55LtjgBanning:SCI> [XO] Still scanning, sir. Nothing so far.
21:56Lt_Hart:@ CENG> :: has his people fan out to get different views::
21:57Moonshadows:@TAC>[THOMAS] On my world, young people make a team, and travel through hostile wilderness, surviving, depending on each other, making their own weapons, fiunding food, and at the end of the walk, they choose their names and beconme adults
21:58Dr_Compton:@CMO> ::wakes up and checks on Rotund::
21:58Dr_Compton:@CMO> [Rotund] Did the stew help?
21:58CaptMcCloud:=/\=ACTION: The Rontonian champion is a large bodied creature, with four tentacles extending out from it's body. It has four small stalks coming from the top of the body with what would appear to be an eye at the end of the stalk. =/\=
21:59Bot:@ Rotund> :: does not wake::
21:59Moonshadows:@TAC>[Out loud] I smell... Something coming sir, live, BAD smell!

21:01CaptMcCloudCaptain's log, supplemental:
Lt. Hart and his party has returned with intelligence on the Rontonian champion. His description shows the "enemy" to be as follows:

The beings stood approrimatel 2.1 meters tall, purple in color, four tentacle arms, and four eyestakls protuding from the top of their body. His team watched them move about their compound, and while they have no problems being mobile, they do not seem to be able to adjust their direction very quickly. It is stil my hope that we will be able to communicate with the beings and avoid armed conflict.
Lt.jg Moonshadows has been working on sheath's (holders) for our shortswords, to make it easier to move about with them. I still have no idea if the Eagle has any clue where we are.
21:09CaptMcCloud((Commander Jorel? Wish to add anything?))
21:11Cmdr_Jorel(( yes ))
21:14Cmdr_JorelWe have arrived at the place the Lt Banning said the wormhole came from. Right now, Science and Tactical are searching for signs as to where the crew might be.
21:15CaptMcCloudOkay then. With no further adieu.....
21:15CaptMcCloud=/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=
21:15MoonshadowsTAC>[CO] If I have to keep being a survivalist, I want a transfer to the Rangers sir... Or a raise.
21:15CaptMcCloud(stranded crew remember to use @))
21:16CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ TAC ] I'll take that on advisement, Lt.
21:16Dr_Compton@CMO> ::still sitting at Rotunds bedside holding his hand while he is unconscious monitoring his condition::
21:16Cmdr_Jorelxo >[ sci ] Any progress?
21:16Lt_Hart@ CENG >[ CO ] Next plan of action, Captain?
21:17LtjgBanningSCI> [XO] Well, sir. I have detected about one hundred class-M planets to search. Provided they were even put on a planet.
21:18LtCmdrVanikHELM> :: just shakes his head::
21:18Moonshadows@TAC>::Starts to sing:: I want to live a life of danger, I want to A-tack from the sky, I want to be an Airborne Ranger, I want to fall down SPLAT and die! ::Is obviously having a better time than she should be::
21:18BotBorek> That would take forever to search each and every one of them.
21:19Moonshadows@TAC>::Pulls a stitch tight, ties a knot::[CO] Last sheath sir...
21:19Bot@Thomas> :: listening to Moon, looks to Hart:: Does she really want to be a Ranger, sir?
21:20Cmdr_Jorelxo >[ sci ] send coordinates to helm, Vanik, set course and engage at warp 6
21:20Lt_Hart@ CENG >[ Thomas ] ::chuckles:: No. I think she is trying to be humorous, Tom.
21:21LtjgBanningSCI> [XO] AYe, sir. :: sends the coordinates for the closest planet to Vanik::
21:21Moonshadows@TAC>::Whiskers spread in a feline grin, she decides not to sing the more "adult" version::
21:22BotBorek> Commander, I recommend we send a couple probes to some of the other planets to do some of the sensor work for us.
21:22Bot@ Thomas> :: nods like he understands, but he really doesn't:::
21:23CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ TAC ] :: looks at the sheaths:: Very nice work, Lt.
21:23LtCmdrVanikHELM >[ XO ] Coordinates received and laid in, Commander.
21:24Moonshadows@TAC>{Thomas] You see, cub, rangers train for survival like this as part of their way of war... I am singing and joking to keep myself from getting Angry at our hosts... THAT would only gain me frustration
21:24Cmdr_Jorelxo >[ Borek ] Agreed Cmdr. Hailey, send out probes to the other planets
21:25Bot@ Thomas> [TAC] :: smiles:: that makes sense, Sir. Good point.
21:25Ltjg_WrenOps >[ XO ] Aye sir. ::readies Probes::
21:25CaptMcCloud@CO> :: smiles his approval at Moon's explanation::

21:26LtCmdrVanikHELM >[ XO ] Aye, captain. :: touches the console, and the ship jumps to warp::
21:26Cmdr_Jorelxo >[ helm ] Eta Cmdr?
21:26Moonshadows@TAC>[Thomas] You have been a good help... Your mother knows plants... I wonder if she could find tobacco... ::Humorously overdone plaintive tone::
21:26CaptMcCloud=/\=ACTION: Rotund's fever seems to be breaking =/\=
21:27Bot@ Thomas> :: enthusiastically:: I'll go ask her!
21:27Ltjg_WrenOps> ::sends out the probes::
21:27Dr_Compton@CMO> ::smiles and pats his hand:: Hang in there Roland.
21:27Bot@ Thomas> :: runs off before anyone can stop him::
21:28Moonshadows@TAC>::Gets up and checks the sinew bindings on the spears... it seems to be holding nicely::[NOIP] I will recommend to Star Fleet a six month training program on Sivao for all prospective academy graduates.... Walk to win your pip
21:28CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ ALL ] Okay. Let's get two parties together. I will lead the first one, and try to communicate with the alien.... errr... the Rontonain champion. I know we are all aliens on this world.
21:29Bot@ Thomas> :: BUrsts into the building:: Mom.
21:29Dr_Compton@CMO> ::looks over at Thomas:: Hi honey, what's going on?
21:30Moonshadows@TAC>::She goes to the fire, sniffs the stew::[Cookery officer of the moment] Needs tailkinkers!

21:31Lt_Hart@ CENG >[ CO ] You want me with you, sir?
21:32CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ CENG ] No, Mr. Hart. I would like you leading the second team which will be watching our backs.
21:32Dr_Compton@CMO> [thomas] :;notices him looking at her patient:: He's going to be fine sweetie. Tobacco? I don't recall seeing anything similar. What does she need tobacco for?
21:33Cmdr_Jorel(( Moon, who do you have at Tac? ))
21:33Bot@ Thomas> I think she's jonesin' for a cigar. Whatever that is.
21:33Moonshadows@TAC>::Goes over to the CMO::[CMO] I think Thomas is ready to Walk Doctor... Choose a name :Grinny whiskers and looped tail:;
21:34Moonshadows((Let us say ensign Billibrew at ATAC))
21:34LtCmdrVanikHELM >[ XO ] Ten minutes to the first planet, sir.
21:34Dr_Compton@CMO> ::chuckles:: [thomas] Tell.... [Moon] Oh hello Moonshadows.....a walk? Is that a Sivaoan maturity ritual?
21:35MoonshadowsATAC>[XO] No sign of shipping... no warp wakes, no fuel residue trails on my scanners
21:35Bot@ Thomas> :: smiles proudly::
21:36CaptMcCloud=/\=ACTION: Tactical sensors suddenly pick up one of the ships that had opened the portal. =/\=
21:37Moonshadows@TAC>[CMO] When they feel old enough, Sivaoan youth form small parties, and set out from one settlement to another as a survival walk, they must learn teamwork, live off the land, find medicinal herbs, fight the beasts of my world, and all arrive safely to become adults
21:37Lt_Hart@ CENG >[ CO ] Aye, sir. Probably the best plan. Will you at least take Moonshadows with you?
21:38MoonshadowsATAC>[XO] Single contact... bearing 018 Mk IV... extreme range... engine signature identical to one of the ships that activated the rift sir!
21:39Bot@ Thomas> :: looks worried:: Do I have to go off by myself?
21:39Dr_Compton@CMO>[Moon] Very interesting....unfortunately we aren't exactly in an environment where he can safely do that. ::looks at Thomas:: but I am sure he would excel a5t such a ritual...
21:39CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ CENG ] Yes. Lt. Moonshadows will be in my party.
21:40Moonshadows@TAC>[Thomas] You are not alone, you ARE learning teamwork and survival, cub
21:40Cmdr_Jorelxo >[ tac ] what's their heading ensign?
21:40Dr_Compton@CMO> :;firmly:: [Thomas] No. No you will stay here. This isn't Sivao and we don't know what our captors have planned for us here
21:40Bot@ Thomas> :: smiles, both at his Mom's statement, and at Moon's. :: Yeah. We are all working as a great team.
21:41Moonshadows@TAC>[CMO] I think this qualifies for a Walk, Doctor... we need not take him fo fight monsters ::Tail corkscrews tightly, looking like it should REALLY hurt::
21:43Bot@ Thomas> :: stands straigher:: I would fight them if I had to.
21:43Moonshadows@TAC>[THOMAS] On my walk, we had to face slashbacks with only spears and knives and claws...
21:43Dr_Compton@CMO>[Moon] I like your way of thinking Lt. :;smiles proudly at her son:: When we get back to the Eagle you can help him pick a suitable name in your tradition if you like.
21:44CaptMcCloud@ CO >[ CENG ] Alright. Let's get this over with.
21:44Moonshadows@TAC>::Suddenly serious::[CMO] One's choice of name is intensly personal...... To a Sivaoan, his name is important, it means much, when we leave Sivao we have to get used to people using nick names for us
21:44CaptMcCloud@ CO> :: gives a whistle for the whole team to assemble::
21:45Dr_Compton@CMO> ::heads outside to see what the Captain needs::

21:06Cmdr_Jorel:Acting Captain's log, stardate 65064.32. We have arrived at the coordinates that Banning found, and are checking out class M planets near by for any signs that our missing crew.
We have sent out probes to the other planets. While about to search one planet, the unidentified ship came into range. We lost them behind planet and have engaged sub mode. I am hoping they do not have the capabilities to see through. At this time, we do not know what technologies they have, but it would appear they are ahead of us.

21:02CaptMcCloud:We have been here several days now. We have had one encounter with the Rontonian champion, which basically went sour real fast. So far, the purple beings (that's the best I can describe them now) have not paid us any visits. In fact, they stopped at the edge of their compound and ended their pursuit of us. I admit, I am baffled how to handle this situation at the moment.
(Commander?)
21:06Cmdr_Jorel:Acting CO log, Stardate 65066.71. We appear to have lost the unknown ship. At least, they can't tell where we are while under sub mode. Cmdr Vanik is moving the Eagle carefully through space to the planet, while Tactical keeps a close eye on the ship. I am curious as to the technology of the ship, and number of ships, but my top priority right now is finding our missing crew. Lt Banning is trying to collect as much information as he can without causing the ship to detect us.
