Drive-room
 
"Coming to all stop" said the Nav officer Kieran Loes.
"Engines answering all stop" said a crackly voice of chief engineer Lt. Smegg over the comm system.
The blonde bimbo sensor operator who was standing in for Ensign Kayn filed her nails and briefly looked at her sensor screen. she shouted:
 "There's a massive blip on radar!"
Then she blushed in embarassment as everyone told her it was only the planet they were supposed to find.
 
Ensign Kayn (having been fixed up after his ordeal by Doctor Van-Threk in the ships Medlab) bumped into Commander Niples while he was walking towards the drive-room. "Hello sir" he said in his annoying voice.
"It sounds like we've stopped at the planet. Are you going up to the Drive-room to have a look?"
"nahh, the views not very good in there." replied Niples. "I want to see this planet in all its glory. Do you want to come for a walk where there's a better view?" asked the Commander.
 
"Do I ever?" squeeked Kayn and followed him. They donned spacesuits and walked out of the ship onto the outside hull. As they clumsily walked using their magnetic boots over the forward edge of the fore-section where they could get a view of the planet, Niples wondered if this planet would be as magnificent as it looked on the 3D hologram in the distress beacon. Greens, and blues.
 
He saw the planet.
 
It was brown.
 
It had a few black regions as well. But mostly brown. As if it whad been burned and corroded, it had scarrs over the landscape like a tortured soul.
 
"Ahh," stated Kayn. "What do we do now?"
Niples never took his eyes off the brown, dull scortched globe. And said painfully. "Someone sent a distress call, we're here. We must answer it."
 
"ok" squeeked Kayn.

****************************
1:00PM
 
Two crafts flew out of the Blue Dwarf, one was a Starbug loaded with half of the away-team and a few essentials like weapons and equipment.
The scientists were huddled together in the cramped cockpit of the Starbug, holding their scientific equipment with fancy flashing lights close to them, the ride may be a bumpy one.
 
The other craft was a Blue Midget shuttle being piloted by a slightly sober Nik Florentyn, leading the way to the planet's scortched surface.
As the two ships landed, the away-team climbed out of the two shuttles.
The first thing that hit them was the wind, which bombarded them with grains of sand- making it difficult to see.
 
Commander Niples arranged everyone into a group.
"We'll do a general patrol of the area." he shouted over the harsh winds. "Then we'll make our way back to the ships."
 
The group headed out into the sandstorms, shapes of mountains (..or were they buildings?) could be seen in the far distance, that was if you wanted to open your eyes for long enough in the harsh conditions.
 
The ground underneath was mainly dry and scortched, but in some areas the ground seemed to have been disturbed. The science officers Marlene and Phil speculated how this could have happened, was it some kind of creature?
This made everyone nervous, so Phil took out his hand-held sensor and checked for any life-forms in the area.
 
The scan was negative, but everyone still had a bad feeling about the planet. If the population was dead, who killed them? And where were they now?
After all it was 600 years later, had anything survived?
 
(OOC- So guys, what happens next? Remember the ships from the post "Ffion" and the ship that we saw in the asteroid field?)
