[OLD]

Serena saw what was going on and she step in and stated, "Hey please you guys. It doesn't matter does it." Then she looked at whoever was fighting and continued, "Lets go. If not I'll leave you guys here." She hated to sound so mean but soon after, walking threw she sat her stuff down in the shuttlecraft and positioned herself in the front in the helms area. She tapped on the console to make sure everything was in check. Before she messaged the bridge for the departure she stated loudly, "Is everyone on that is suppose to be on. Because were leaving ASAP."

[NEW]

The group boarded the shuttle and buckled in.

Seeing everyone was on Serena opened a channel to the bridge, "Shuttle craft one is ready for departure. Away team is headed down to unknown planet and will see you guys in a couple of days. Lt. Jones out." Then she tapped on the counsal once more to were the shuttle craft was hovering off the floor. Once she was clear leave, she smiled and state, "Here we go." Then pressed a few buttons and the shuttle craft broke away from the Calypso and into space.

Seren looked at the screen to see a huge planet before them, she was amazed and awed by the moment. "Science crew," she stated with a smile, "Were would like us to land. Any particular place in mind?"

"Somewhere over the rainbow." Daniels mumbled.

"I do not detect prismatic illusions, Ensign Daniels." Stran said, eyebrow quirked.

Allen subtly shook his head at the comment; as close as he would get to a face palm.

Serena rolled her eyes and stated, "I guess coordinate 3465.92 will be precise." She locked in the coordnates and finished, "We are entering the planets atmospher. This might get a little bumpy." The shuttle craft shook for only a moment as it was going threw the planets layers of atmosphere. Once it broke threw the shuttle craft was still and the away team could see luscious green planet life ahead.

Seren landed the shuttle craft in an open area or at lest considered an open area. Once the shuttle landed she tapped on the console and stated, "We have landed." Then she turned around and faced everyone.

"Lieutenant Tal," Leo said as he felt the shuttle land. "Want some company while you go out looking for what ever it is what you're looking for?"

Erin nodded. ''That would be appreciated, Lieutenant.'' She replied with a grin, positively itching to get outside and have a look around. ''As much as I love unknown terrain, I'm not invincible.''

"Doctors, you are with me." Daniels said with a nod. "Stran, you watch over the designated driver."

"Do you intend to get intoxicated, so you can't pilot it yourself?" Stran asked.

"Flunked pilot school. Why do you think I'm a security guard?" Daniels retorted. He looked from Bowen to Yvette. "Whenever you are ready."

Serena rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag and headed out the door. She stoped by the door and looked at science officer and stated, "Is the air breathable?"

Lizzie grabbed her pack and scanned around the clearing by the shuttle. "No toxins, air is clean, and the smell of the woods is amazing." She looked at the others."I think we should split up and see what we can find. Meet back here in two hours?"

"Thanks," she stated, "Time to stretch are legs." Then she opened the door and walked out of the shuttle craft and into the open area. She put the satchel over her shoulder and pulled out her scanner and started scanning the area.

Daniels frowned. "Radio check every quarter hour."

Leo suited up and started to walk with Erin then stopped and turned around. "Sergeant, its up to you. Do you stay with the shuttle or do you go off exploring? If you do either, just let me know." Nodding to the man Leo turned back and started trekking off with Erin, his weapon low, but his eyes open and scanning around.

Erin's weapon was on her hip and she was exploring happily with wide eyes. ''Its just like being back home.'' She exclaimed, kneeling to examine a strange green plant that looked vaguely similar to a venus fly trap.

''Well, one of them, anyways. The growth looks like the distant relatives of major plant species.'' She pulled out her tricorder to do a few readings.

Leo watched and shook his head, then continued to look around. It seemed so peaceful, almost serene. He countered teh urge to sling his rifle, wanting to keep it in his hands, but he stopped moving and hissed for Erin to do the same. "Follow me," he said and started off at a quick pace. The forest was thick and shiny, and Leo did his best to avoid anything that looked poisonous. As he broke through the last little bit, he stopped and looked around. They were at the top of a water fall, and looking down was a nice little beach. "Wow," he said softly.

Erin couldnt help but hold back a small gasp. The waterfall cascaded down a sheer drop, pounding down unto a tranquil beach that reminded her so much of the time she took Kaj waterfall-diving.
''This is amazing.'' She knelt at the precipice and leaned over cautiously, dipping her hand into the water and tasting it.
''Fresh water, high amounts of algae, not contaminents.'' She said, running a sample through the tricorder.
''This place is incredible. If we wer'nt on a mission I'd go for a swim.'' She added with a grin.

Serena closed her scanner and walked back to the shuttle to were a group of people were forming. "I volunteer to take north east area," she stated pointing in the direction, "I'm sure Mr. Daniels can accompany me?" The she looked at him with a big smile on her face.

"As the lady wishes. Stran, you are with the doctors." Daniels said with a nod.

The Vulcan let out a bit of a sigh. "Yes, sir."

"I'll go west," Lizzie said, interested in the thickest part of the forest. She started off by herself, then turned around. "I probably shouldn't go alone. Who wants to come with me? Staff Sergeant?"

"Can do." He said as he strapped his weapon over his shoulder. He then looked in the dirrection she planned on going and smiled slightly at what he saw. "Looks like fun."

He then turned to his superior officer. "I'll be heading out Sir."

Lizzie grinned. "Excellent. Let's see what the woods have to offer." She turned and again headed into the deepest part of the forest.

Allen tightened the laces on his boots and checked for a watertight seal before following after the Lieutenant.

"I'll come," Marek said after Lizzie before following her and the Staff Sergeant.

He couldn't explain it but Marek felt at ease as he, Allen and Lizzie penetrated deeper into the forest.

Seeing people were still talking, Serena grabbed Daniels and stated, "Lets go. Let them talk. I want to get some sightseeing done before night fall."

"Sounds like a plan." Daniels said with a nod.

Soon after both Jones and Daniels left into wood like area for some sight seeing.
