Runabout
Lt. Mehvra-Kuplo
"Lt Taarak, please drop us to 1/4 impulse when the field strength increases to 30dBm. Let's spend a little time there taking some more readings and seeing if there are any ill effects before we move closer."
Mehv turns around and opens a channel to the Guardian, "Guardian, we are approaching the planet's field now, we will report in regularly." _________________

standing at her station she fought with herself to keep her focus. She'd been loosing sleep lately and wasn't sure what the cause of it was and it was starting to trouble her.
With a sigh she shook her head a forced her mind into attention.
I miss having someone with faith in me... she thought to herself. _________________

Lt. Taarak
Runabout
The Orion nodded as his hands swiftly flew over the console around him at the front of the small, but fast runabout. Back like the old days, flying small space craft and pushing the limits. At least this time there was no smoke coming from somewhere where it shouldn't be coming from -- like it did quite often in his test piloting.
Taarak turned slightly to Mehvra-Kuplo. "Slowing to 1/4 impulse now Lieutenant." he lifted his hand as if he were holding an imaginary glass. "Here's to not going freaky again." _________________

Lenara tapped her console, a look of surprise on her face, "Lt., it appears the radiation is emanating from the ruins, I am also detecting a powers source near the source." _________________

ACTION
After several minutes of recon to confirm the shield modifications were working, the runabout enters the atmosphere, landing on a shuttlepad in the ruins. The buildings look much like a federation colony would, a large communications array is off to the left of the runabout, and to the starboard side is what appears to be the main building of the colony.
Lenara turned to Kuplo, "I believe I have identified the technology. It appears to be a colony of the Morbatten. It was a semi reptilian humanoid race that was wiped out by civil war nearly five centuries ago. A faint distress signal is transmitting from the array, so weak I only detected it once we entered the atmosphere. It is in their language." _________________

OOC I'm going to leave this storyline open for a bit longer, then rap it up. It's gone farther than I intended, which is fine, but I got the impression that others had some things they wanted to play out that hasn't happened, so the story has just fizzled. I also need to rap things up so I can get my storyline to explain why the Captain has disappeared for ten days IRL going. _________________

Runabout on planet
Lt Mehvra-Kuplo
"If we're able to translate the language, lets hear the message." Mehv enters commands into his console to stabilize the shield around the runabout. He moves to a storage compartment and pulls out some armbands. Handing them out, he explains, "These personal shields will protect you from the EM for about 1 hour. So we will either need to return to the runabout, or find a way to disable the transmission." _________________

Lenara types rapidly on the console for a moment, then turns to Mehvra, "I have a translation, the signal has degraded, so it may be incomplete."
There is a burst of static from the runabout's speakers, then a tinny voice begins speaking.
This is Tul Mareal, to anyone receiving this... A brief fit of laughter interrupts the speaking Our experiment has gone incredibly wrong.. or right.. he he he.. we are in need of assistance...Most of the colonists have gone completely insane, only the injections are keeping... There are several loud laughs and the transmission ends. _________________

Runabout on planet
Lt Mehvra-Kuplo
"Looks like they are the cause of the strange radiation. Ensign Lenara, does the message have any encoded timestamps? What do we know about the Morbatten? When we go in there and turn this off, should we expect hostility? Any social customs we should know about? I wasn't expecting this to turn into a first contact situation, but so be it.
"Lt Taarak, please update the Guardian of our current situation and our intention to disable the device and make contact. Otherwise, let's head out and see about turning off this 'experiment'." _________________

Lenara shakes her head in the negative, "The broadcast is on a pre-recorded loop. I am detecting no lifesigns. I have no data on this species, without more information I can't postulate what to expect." Lenara stands, retrieving a phaser and a tricorder and heading towards the access hatch. _________________

Planet
Lt Mehvra-Kuplo
With the Guardian update sent, the group moves out onto the planet surface toward the source of the EM radiation and the power source. Mehv hopes they haven't arrived too late to save the Morbatten team. Taking scans as they go, he captures as much as possible while keeping his eyes and ears open for any signs of danger. _________________

OOC just to give a little closure before I shut down this storyline
A small amount of background noise can be heard as the recording begins.
"Captain's Log, Supplemental. The Guardian is leaving the system after discovering the source of the radiation that caused so much disruption among the crew. The failed experiment has been deactivated and destroyed, and all data that still existed in the storage modules of the science station pertaining to it's design has been erased. No one else will fall prey to the trap this lost colony had inadvertently left behind with it's demise." A pause, and the sound of clinking china. "On a more personal note, I am disappointed in my lack of self control, even in the extenuating circumstances that existed. I will strive to improve my control in the future. The crew seems to have shook off the effects rather well, some even found humor in the situation. We are continuing our mission of exploration, and I hope we will have more success in the future." Another pause, "End log." _________________
