				(OOC: All those part of the away team just assume you have equipment you can carry which you&nbsp; would expect to bring for your speciality)<br><br>Three hours later... <br><br><strong>Location: </strong> Alien Planet 36745<br><strong>Tagged: </strong> Away team<br><br><div align="center">(http://cdnet.myxer.com/tn/c/13337758/big/?t=20110907221815)</div><br>The planet seemed still, eerily so. No wind, no sounds. All signs of the atmosphere in this area showed it breathable, it had a metallic edge to it, and doing so seemed to put ones skin on edge. It didn't seem right. Breathable atmosphere without plant-life ? It felt odd. Very odd.<br><br>The scene should have been pleasant. Life forms readings were non-existant, well almost, triquarters that were set to <br>scan for them seemed to be perpetually be re-configuring itself for reasons their screens didn't even hint at.<br><br>The initial hours found none talking only trying to soak in the atmosphere of the place until awareness of a cave nearby began to dawn on the attention of everyone.&nbsp; Silent hand gestures seemed to be naturally adopted, all had this feeling that if speaking would be "wrong" somehow.<br><br>Then in stark contrast to what felt appropriate everyone com badges seemed to flare up at once.<br><br><em>"Away team this is the captain, I hope your all getting snug there but if you are not you need to be soon, we are getting strange energy spikes from the sun, solar flare of a strange type our sensors were not calibrated to care to look for, but the strength of this one is one that has us a little spooked staying in orbit, and is of a type that follows the magnetic curve of the planets field. In short Im going to move the ship to take shelter in a nearby moon. The planet you on has a magnetic field harmonic that naturally protects it from this type of solar storm, perhaps the storms made it so Im not sure, but Im not taking changes with the ship, we will be without communications for perhaps a day, we think, perhaps more.<br><br>I don't like you all being alone there so Im sending two shuttles on auto-pilot and three of the carrier deck's fighters to accompany you in case you need them. The security codes for the shuttles have been updated to your communication badges, the commanding officers all know how to control the fighters. They will land in your current position in ten minutes, the shuttles have food, water and supplies in case we are away longer than we thought. Sorry to love you and leave you, but your in good hands. Captain out."</em><br>

				The moment the transfer was complete Antonio took a knee on the stone beneath his feet, scanning their surroundings for anything that could be hostile. Once the initial sweep was done he looked out further, this time at the horizon to take in what they were dealing with. <br><br>Just then the captains voice came over their coms. He listened intently as he kept his eyes looking back and forth, his heart sinking as the realization of the situation came to him. For a moment he wondered why these storms kicked up all of a sudden, was it something to do with the transporters? For a moment he thought coincidence but during his time aboard the Kitsune he quickly learned that very little was coincidental. <br><br>He waited for the captain to finish her annoucement before speaking aloud, his Italian accent bleeding through the universal translator. "XO, I suggest we split up into three teams. Two to scout opposite sides of the area and one to setup a base camp when the shuttles land. I also recommend we consider finding a cave or other natural shelter to use as a fall back position."<br>
