OOC: Splitting up the original sim thread into department duties as assigned.

Shanok looked to the engineering and operation members of the away team. He had a pair of PADDs in each hand. First he approached those among the enginerring staff handing a PADD which detailed the sonic drill setup, as well as several power relays and generators from the past century belonging to the Vulcan Science Directorate that were arrayed around the large dig site. “..You will find as you already have that the sonic drill I use is quite aged, almost as old as I am in fact..” He said, and was that a joke from the stoic aged Vulcan? Who knew. “..The main sonic emitter needs replacement as do several power relays and I am sure the duotronic computer inside it needs several chip replacements given the amount of software faults which happen when it does run. I would prefer continuing to use it as I have found it interferes less with the ancient ruins around us where there are ancient power sources still buried. Less chance of explosions or damage to these relics then if I used more traditional modern methods of laser or plasma diggers..” he said. “..There are also several generators around the dig site that need to be refitted and cleaned from the sand and dust around the ruins that have clogged up the intakes. I have tried to keep up on this where I can but I am only one man and my studies take precedence..” he said. Showing on the PADD six locations of generators spread out over a two mile or so radius among the ruins most beyond the current cover of the camp site and security emitters that had been setup since they beamed down.

Turning then to the operation’s members he handed another PADD. “..If you could proceed with more manual efforts in digging up a recent dig site I have outlined I would appreciate it. The site is I believe home to an access point to a buried archive or library of some sort. Both of ancient books and scrolls and perhaps some sort of computer system based on surface scans I have performed in the past week before your arrival. I will trust you will endeavor to take full care in digging up this entryway and will inform me of any questions or discoveries you may come upon..” He said. The dig site location was not too far off still within the safety of the base camp perimeter and the security emitters setup so unlike the engineering team operations would not have to worry too much about the local wildlife harassing them.

”..Do either of you have questions before I release you to your assigned tasks?” he asked.
