 After 10 minutes of walking slowly to the spot of the gravitational beam the away team now stood around the beam emitter assembly. It was a short cylinder  device that was bolted to a rotational coupling that could move in any direction giving it a fair range of mobility. Calvin thought that the entire outer sphere had these placed in certain areas to make the coverage one hundred percent around the sphere.

 "Okay. It looks like we are going to have to do this in two phases. Sir, I need you at this open panel to cut the power leads here and here," explained Adams pointing at two tiny cylinders on a small circuit board. "Ensign Trei and myself will be working on backing up the exhaust port. That will hopefully cause an overload and fry the system."
 Calvin finished his step before the others to attempt the 2nd unlocking of the beam. Ensign Adams and Ensign Trei were both working on the next phase. As they were doing so Calvin looked in the direction of the Goddard. The shuttle was sitting in the same place as it did when the away team had gotten out of it. But of course it was, why would it not be? A gruesome feeling hit deep into Calvin's gut suddenly. Something was about to go wrong. He could feel it.

He noticed several of the officers eating breakfast and spotted a breakfast table set up. With a nod to the captain, he walked over to retrieve some food.

	Once the entire away team was dressed, the hatch to the shuttlecraft was opened up allowing all the air inside the shuttle to vent off into space. Looking out the hatch, Ensign Adams could see a metal horizon for as far as the eye could see. Looking up, he saw the Paladin a safe distance away monitoring their every move. The young engineer stepped out and his boots locked to the surface of the sphere. A few more steps and he could see the metal buildings which were the source of the gravitational beam.

			Detron was the second to step on the Dyson Sphere. Commander Capps was looking at the surface with PADD in hand. The EVA Suit felt constricting and uncomfortable. Detron had the strange urge to break out into a disco medley and dance like John Travolta. He waited for the feeling to pass.

	~~(reply Capps)~~		Calvin's ears perked shortly after he got off the comm line with Lt O'Conner. Ensign Adams called for his attention. Calvin listened with the best he could as a nearby panel exploded. "Continue monitoring the intensity of the beam. We are landing." Calvin made the decision to go a head. The risk seemed minimal. If they needed out they could. Lt Matrix had already given them his assurance.

	With a nod of acknowledgement, Ensign Adams stood up with engineering case in hand. He pulled out a tricorder and started to scan the damaged readout station panel.

	Ensign Adams returned to his seat and reported in to the first officer. "The immediate problem with the station has been neutralized. We will have to wait until we get back to the Paladin before I can repair it properly. With the power diverted to the inertial dampeners, we can withstand 50 kilopascals of pressure on the hull. If it rises much more than that, we will have more panels exploding. I suggest we either land or get Lieutenant Matrix to cut the beam and we return to the Paladin. If the beam starts to increase we could start to break up."		Ensign Adams returned to his seat and reported in to the first officer. "The immediate problem with the station has been neutralized.

	(reply ~~Capps~~, any)		"Lt Rath, let the beam take us in, but minimize the aggression of the ride down.”

			Bowing to the will of the gravitational beam, the Shuttlecraft Goddard slowly descended towards the set of buildings which had been identified as the source of the beam. The stress on the hull returned to normal tolerance levels once the ship started to descend on its own accord.

			"Readings from outside the shuttle are pure vacuum with temperatures nearing absolute zero," warned Ensign Adams to the rest of the away team. "We are going to need to put on EVA suits with magnetic boots in order to travel across the surface."

			Adams walked to the back of the shuttle and opened up the storage locker which contained just enough EVA suits for the away team.

			Having landed on the surface of the Dyson Sphere, Cerinne trod carefully over it in her Environmental suit. Most of the readings she was receiving were interesting, but of little practical use at the moment. The EVA suit was stifling and few things made Cerinne more uncomfortable than being within one. It was such an odd feeling, really.

			The construction techniques that she observed as she walked were one of the many variables that Cerinne made note of as she searched for some sort of entrance or exit.

	(reply Capps, any ~~on shuttlecraft, any on Paladin~~)		Ensign Adams stood over the shattered readout station, tiny sparks still dancing from within the broken plastic. A few taps of his tricorder and it was tied into the shuttlecraft's systems giving him control of the internal workings of the power conduits. A few more taps and the sparks stopped and the readout station went dark. He then ran a diagnostic to see what caused the overload. It was what he expected. The gravitational beam was causing spikes in the power systems having to do with the inertial dampeners. Dumping extra power from the weapons was the right call. That was unless the gravitational beam increased.
