T'Seva: I would assume at least one person down there knows morse code, for example. It might pierce the interference better than spoken communication. Once we have the enhancers out, if its still bad, I'll send a message in that.

Jalana was confused for a moment since this was not the status she had been asking for but could understand the focus on the pressing issue and nodded. 

Rajel: Worth a try if the other idea fails. Backups are never wrong. ::She smiled::

T'Seva: I hope they're doing okay down there.

Rajel: ::A long exhale:: Me too. But whatever they are facing, they'll excel. They are ... 

T'Seva: Best crew in the fleet, Commodore.

Jalana looked to T'Seve adn returned her smile. 

Rajel: That they are. ::She paused before speaking again.:: Speaking of best crew. How are our bees doing? 

T'Seva: Solid. I'm monitoring them and seeing no problems. 

Rajel: ::Nodding:: Good, we should - 

Shimisi: =/\= Shimisi to the bridge =/\=

Jalana tapped on the comm badge instead of the button on the arm rest because she would have to get up from the beanbag chair first. 

Rajel: =/\= Bridge here, what do you have for me, Mingxing. =/\=

Shimisi: =/\= We've determined that the Stellar Cartography lab would be the best place to examine the sample you get. So'Mior is compiling data and will examine the sample once we get it. =/\=

Rajel: =/\= Great news. Dizzy and Ba'el have gone out with our worker bees to get you some samples for analyzing. =/\=

Shimisi: =/\= I'll help him to set up the lab, just give us a warning when you have the sample.

Rajel: =/\= Alright. I'll contact them to make sure they beam the samples right to Stellar Cartography when they are done. =/\=

T'Seva listened to the conversation, making mental notes.

Shimisi/So'Mior: Response

Rajel: =/\= Got it, good work you two. Bridge out. =/\=

T'Seva: That's progress. 

Rajel: Yes, with the preliminary scans and the samples we should find out what is making our life so difficult here. Can you inform Dizzy and Ba'el where to beam their samples?

T'Seva: I can.

While Jalana messed with the center chair, T'Seva opened comms to the bees. Even at that short range, there was a little bit of static, but it wasn't, thankfully, meaningfully effecting communication.

T'Seva: =/\= Ch'Nilmani, Ba'el, how's it going out there? =/\=

Ch'Nilmani/Ba'el: Response

T'Seva: =/\= Good! =/\=

Ch'Nilmani/Ba'el: Response

T'Seva: =/\= We have a solution for that. As soon as you're in the shuttle bay, do a site by site and beam them directly to Stellar Cartography. Shimisi is setting up a team. =/\=

Ch'Nilmani/Ba'el: Response

T'Seva: =/\= And no hot rodding. I hear the bees *can* be fun. =/\=

She was lightening the mood...they'd been in worse situations, but lack of full communication often led to tension.

Ch'Nilmani/Ba'el: Response

With the conversation over, she turned her attention back to Rajel. Who seemed to be concentrating on something.

T'Seva: Did you find something, Jalana?

Rajel: We received an automated repeating message from one of the teams. It's defragged like a Sehlat got its claws on it, but with the repetition different parts of the same message are decipherable. 

T'Seva: That's brilliant. Repeating it so that we can get it all. We should find out who did that and give them a commendation.

She was slightly embarrassed she hadn't thought of it. 

Rajel: So far I put together a part of a coordinate, waiting for another repetition to put it together. They also have geothermal heat, some lifeform with lightning rod ..something, bad weather and something about a beach. To get all this I had to listen to it four times. 

T'Seva: But you got it. Lifeform with lightning rod? I hadn't expected sophisticated life down there, but it does tend to find a way. 

Rajel: Yes, hope with the signal enhancers we can get something better back to them. Check with T'Aven. Once I have the full coordinate we may have something to aim our signal at. 

T'Seva nodded and opened communications again.

T'Seva: =/\= Bridge to T'Aven. How are things going with those enhancers?=/\=

T'Aven: Response
