CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Standing at tactical, getting ready to bust down the Galarian's door::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::on his way back up to the bridge::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::In his quarters ready a good book::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Sitting at Ops::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::steps into the lift, feeling the stubble on his head idly:: Self: I need to shave... ::sighs:: TL: Deck 1

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
:: on the bridge, at his station, with engineering under his control::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::on the bridge, overseeing their current course and writing some log updates::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
All: Anyone successful at getting the Galarian out of his quarters yet?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift and walks over to Science-I::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::takes over the station and brings the latest sensor readings online for perusal:

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::gets up, puts his book away and tabs his commbadge:: *XO*  Commander Black this is Kenji

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CTO::  CTO: Not yet Mr Rogers... but I'm sure the Captain will be heading there soon...  ::grins faintly::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: I could go down and just open the door.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Checks internal sensors of the Galarians quarters to see if anything in there is unusual::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers:_ nope. I could try flooding his quarters but I don' think that would be a good first impression

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CIV*: Black here, what is it Lieutenant..?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::scans ahead of the ship for any signs similar to their rendezvous::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CTO: We could, but for now we will give him / her some freedom.. we don't want to start an incident with them right away...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Commander, we have a problem. The internal sensors in the Galarians quarters have been turned off. It would be wise to go take a look inside.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Do you need me on any special station Sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Attempts to reactivate the sensors::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::a bit surprised by the CIV's question::  CIV: We could use someone at Operations right now...  ::turns to the CTO::   CTO: Who disabled them...?

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> ::error beep:: CTO: unable to comply hardware malfunction in designated system

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Not sure, all it's giving me is a hardware malfunction. I would guess the Galarians did.

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Aye sir on my way. Kenji out.  ::walks out of his quarters to the nearest TL:: TL: Bridge

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CTO: That's weird...  can you determine the cause of this "hardware" malfunction from the bridge...?

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::speaks up:: XO: Commander, I'm not detecting anything ahead but standard traffic. I don't see anything yet to cause any concern when bringing our guest in.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Checking records. ::Pulls up sensor records from the last 10 minutes before the sensors went offline::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Very good, Mr Ahkileez... let's hope it stays that way...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::runs what silhouettes he can pick up against expected traffic reports in the sector::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: The records only show them shutting off abruptly. We need to check for the problem.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the CTO::  CNS: Counsellor, anything unusual on comm traffic so far after our rendezvous with the Galarian's...?

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::arrives at the bridge and exits::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
XO: LtJG Kenji reporting for duty sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*Sec team 1* Meet me outside the Galarians quarters.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CTO: I think it wouldn't hurt to send an engineering team down to Galarian's quarters...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::tries scanning the Galarian's quarters for life signs::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CTO: Take a minimum of security officers, Mr Rogers..

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: Aye... we'll be in and out.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CIV: We could use you at engineering at the moment...  ::gestures towards the station::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Checks the com traffic::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Heads to the TL:: TL: Deck 2

Host Kevin says:
<Sec team1> *CTO* Acknowledged sir on our way

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
XO: Aye Sir ::moves to the engineering station::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::frowns a bit:: XO: I'm as security-conscious as the next VSA operative, Commander, but do you think this is wise? Given the parameters of our mission?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Arrives on deck 2 and goes around the corner where he finds the security team waiting::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::taps his commbadge::  *Galarian*: Sir, this Lieutenant Commander Black again...  we have detected a internal sensor failure in your quarters, I'm sending a team down to check the internal systems there...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Rings the Galarians doorbell::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::growls, frustrated::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::tabs some controls at the station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CIV: Lieutenant, run a diagnostic on the internal sensor grid again and see if you can isolate that problem on deck 2 with our Galarian Guests...

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::nods at the XO and runs a diagnostic on the internal sensor grid::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Rings the bell again:: Sec team: They don't seem to be answering...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::clears his throat again:: XO: Sir?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CSO: I'm sure Commander Rogers will be as diplomatic as possible...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::looks at him directly:: XO: I should think from the perspective of the Galarian, being diplomatic would be respecting this person's privacy.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*Galarians* This is LtCmdr Rogers. My team is here to check the internal sensors in your quarters.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black:_ Nothing unusual in comm traffic.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Computer: Open the Galarians quarters. Authorization Rogers pi alpha theta 1 4 2

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> CTO :Code accepted :: the door opens, or starts to, three metal bars are just seen through the small distance of the opening, spaced evenly apart starting a foot off the floor, past that the room is shrouded in darkness::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::thinks::  CSO: Ensign, we also have a ship to run here, if there's problem I want to know about it...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Backs up a couple feet::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: Report !

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Self: That's mighty unusual...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
:;shrugs:: XO: Of course, sir. Internal sensors going off in the quarters of a xenophobic race just wouldn't rank high with the VSA's list of things to worry about.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*XO* We've got a problem here. The doors opened a little ways, but there are a few horizontal bars blocking the entryway. Past that, it's completely black.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
TO Robowitz: Shine your flashlight into there.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
<Robowitz> CTO: Aye. ::Turns on his flashlight and shines it past the bars::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
Self: That's odd...  CSO: Ensign, check the sensor logs again, where there any abnormalities before it was cut off...?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black:_ Maybe they're sleeping.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: Stand by...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Uses a tricorder to scan the bars to see what they're made of::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CNS: Could be Counsellor... but I must say I have never had such..  eccentric guests before... and I think I have seen my share...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::returns to his station and brings up the logs::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
XO: Sir, the diagnostic shows that they are working .......and yet not working. Self: this doesn't make sense!!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::frowns::  CIV: Lieutenant, can you be a bit more precise...?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: Mr Rogers....any progress...?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*XO* These bars are tritanium / dilithium alloy... only way past them, other than cutting, is to crawl under.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Closes his eyes:: to try and see once more if he can sense anything from the Galarian::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
XO: The diagnostic shows they are still functional.....only they aren't giving any readings

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::looks down as the console beeps:: XO: No sign of anomalies before the sensors went off.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CIV: That's odd indeed... can you speculate on a probably cause...?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CSO: Understood..   *CTO^*: That would an negative, Mr Rogers..

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::opens eyes, still concentrating:: self: a trance or just a deep sleep.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::brings up the LRS records:: XO: Approaching Rigel-controlled space. They will probably start requesting our IDs and travel records soon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*XO* Reasons?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: We will be arriving at Rigel 7 soon, close the VIP quarters again, leave a security detail at the door and return to the bridge...

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
XO: One cause I can think of is that sensors may be blocked by some sort of energy field, but that may be a bit far searched I think.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*XO* Are there any reasons for this?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black: Commander, I can sense our guest now, but it's like they're in a deep sleep or something.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: That was an order Mr Rogers....  Black out.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black: change that. He's awake and angry.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Wonders what that's all about:: Sec team: Stay here... looks like the XO is a little cranky...

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> :: Appearing, snarling, in the small opening of the door, his face is a mixture of fur and thick leather:: CTO/et al : How Darrrrre you?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CIV: Could be... I'm in dark about this... but the Galarian's where highly evolved in energy sources and such...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Turns around and faces the Galarian:: *XO* Someone is awake.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the CNS::  CNS: That is not good...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Galarian: We were sent down to check the internal sensors of your quarters because they went offline.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: I'll be there in a sec...

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> :: too small patches on his cheeks inflate, turning a bright red, pure black eyes glance furiously from one person to the other::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black: Definitely. We disturbed his privacy. ::Gets up:: I'll go and see if I can help you calm him down

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Galarian: We were concerned for your safety. When sensors go offline in a diplomats quarters, that is cause for concern.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CNS: I'm coming with you... looks like we will have to diplomatic after all...

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> CTO: and that givessss you the rrrrright to invade my prrrrrivacy?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks to the TL::  CSO: You have the bridge Mr Ahkileez...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::quickly walks to the turbolift::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: there is an almost un noticeable change in the feel of the deckplates as the ship drops from warp

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::walks over to The Big Chair [tm] and sits::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::enters the TL after the CNS::  TL: Deck 2

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Galarian: If you will calm down and let us fix the sensors we will be on our way.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::thinking, and impatient to get to the Galarian::

Host Kevin says:
Action the doors to the galarians quarters snap shut again, opening a few minutes later to reveal the galarian in all his glory, 8 foot tall, broad shouldered, the mixture of fur and hide continues over his entire body or what of it can be seen outside of the thick, black leather armour he wears, emblazoned with gold and gems

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
::still at the engineering station trying to get sensors back::

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> :: hands a small yellow box to the CTO officer, the sensors begin to report data again::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Sir, I’m getting readings again here

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Takes the box:: Galarian: What is this?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::heads towards the Galarian's quarters::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::tries to avoid telling More his job as the Scimitar slips into orbit with the regular traffic::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::gets off the turbolift and jogs tot he guest quarters::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::taps his commbadge::  *CIV*: Understood...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Examines the box::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CSO*: Ensign, hail the surface, tell them we have arrived with our passenger...

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> CTO: a sensorrrrrrr inhibitorrrrrr

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Galarian: Thank you for your cooperation. We will be on our way.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::watches the CTO and Galarian::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
CIV: Open a channel to planetary control, and inform them that we have the Galarian dignitary.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Sec team 1: We are finished here. ::Heads towards the TL::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::arrives at the Galarian::  Galarian: Lieutenant Commander Black, my sincere apologies for intrusion...I hope you can understand it is only our job..  ::sighs a little::

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> ::Snarl.. and smiles at the CTO as he walks away then steps back into his quarters::

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
CSO: Aye ::tabs some controls and sends the message to the surface::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Bridge.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge and heads towards his station::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
*XO* In case you're wondering, the sensor problems have been settled.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Sighs:: XO: I think we should head back to the bridge.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CTO*: Apparently.... I'm on my way back..  ::sighs as well::  CNS: I love these VIP`s....

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black:_ I see what you mean. ::walks back tot he tl::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Gives the sensor inhibitor to the nearest lowly crewman for disposal::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks back to the TL::  CNS: But apparently this normal these days...  I hope to god that StarFleet isn't becoming a transport service for high placed officials... ::grumbles a bit::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Checks the internal sensors of the Galarians quarters::

Host Kevin says:
@<Galarian embassy> COMM: Scimitar : You will beam down to these coordinates. out.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::thinks about Sis and laughs:: XO: about the only thing I remember since telling me about VIPs was a very interesting one she didn’t' get to meet. but it seems he had the CMO and CTO switch bodies.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::smiles a bit:: CIV: Friendly, aren't they.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Notices that the sensors are working:: Self: Very well... as long as they don't go off again...

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: Commander Black, we've received beam-down coordinates from the Galarian embassy.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::smiles and enters the TL::  TL: Bridge  CSN: Oh well...I'm just a bit annoyed I guess...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged...

CIV_LtJg_Kenji says:
*XO* Sir, sensors back at 100% and showing that the Galarian is having a cup of ..... don't ask what

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black: but the funny part about it is they were husband and wife

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::steps onto the bridge as the TL doors open::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::laughs a little::  CNS: I must say...that VIP has a sense of humour...  ::grins::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::hears the footsteps from the lift and rises from the chair:: All: XO has the conn. ::walks back to his station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: Understood..  ::moves to the command chair and nods at the CSO as he passes him::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Walks back to Ops::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*Galarian*: Sir, we have arrived at the Rigel 7 and your Embassy has graciously send us the beamdown coordinates.. if you're ready I we can beam you down immediately...

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian>*XO* Good.  and who have you chosen as yourrrrrr ambasadorrrr?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::moves over from the Engineering station, where he was working on a modification, back to the helm::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::brings the helm under his control and monitors their orbit::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::hears the words and shivers internally::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::Considers volunteering, knowing how the XO feels about this whole mess::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::looks around, then brings up a status report of what's happened since he began the modification::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
Self: then again they might not appreciate a junior officer.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::brings the engine modification and watches overall power increase by 2.7%::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::looks at the CNS with a "oh no...not that again" look::   *Galarian*:  An Ambassador...  I was not aware of this detail...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: I've dealt with the Galarian for a short time. Perhaps I should go.

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::uplinks with the planetary database::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::gestures the CTO to standby for a minute, while waiting for the Galarian to respond::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::notices the CIV's duty shift end, and brings engineering under his full control::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Readies TO Jimowitz to take over TAC in case he goes::

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> *XO* Ignorrrence is no excusssse  decide now, we have no time

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::raises eyebrow slightly at the Galarians tone of voice::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: The Galarians aren't the most... patient species.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*Galarian*: Standby..  ::taps a few buttons on his panel to cut the audio for a moment::  All: Opinions..?

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::sighs:: XO: you could send me sir. I know how you feel about him now.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: They need a lesson in diplomacy.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Sir, I think you should go... you are the senior officer.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
XO: I'll go. I've dealt with the ambassador for a short time before and "gotten through" to him.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CTO: I could tell that the first moment they beamed aboard...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
All: All right... I'll go then...  FCO: Mr More..  you have the bridge...  CNS: Keep an open commlink at all times...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
XO_LtCmdr_Black: Yes sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
*Galarian*: Sir, I will accompanying you as Ambassador to the surface....

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Mutters something about how the XO isn't gonna enjoy this as he turns to his station::

Host Kevin says:
<Galarian> *XO*: Then give the order, no time to waste

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::takes the Conn, and signals a flight officer to report in his place::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CNS: Counsellor, beam me and the Galarian and myself down to the surface to the designated coordinates...

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
~~~CTO: well you’ve got to give him credit for being brave enough to do it.~~~ XO: yes sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::takes a tricorder and phaser as away equipment and nods at the CNS to energise::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::smiles::  FCO: Please brief the Captain on this... and I expect the ship intact when I return...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Of course sir. Good luck.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
::beams the Galarian and XO down::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
::Looks over at the CNS:: CNS: I call it foolishness. He hasn't been able to get a response other than "go away" yet.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the XO dissolves from the bridge in a sight to sight transport, rematerializing in a large, ornately decorated doomed room, brilliant sun streams in through the glass set into the roof.  the ambassador taps the XO on the shoulder. "You.. follow!." he says turning and heading towards on of the 6 dark hallways leading off from the room like the spokes of a wheel, similarly dressed and built beings can be seen watching from the other 5.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers: Maybe he'll get some more words out before he comes back then.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CTO: Keep a scan on the surface near the XO

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CNS: Update the captain on what's happened.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
FCO: Aye... ::Gets a transporter lock on the XO::

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
FCO_LtCmdr_More:_ Yes sir. :: barely snarled::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
@::nods at the Ambassador and quietly follows him::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
FCO: I can't get any reading on the XO.  There's a magnetic shield surrounding the facility.

CNS_Ens_tr`Loris says:
FCO_LtCmdr_More: probably the Galarians and their privacy again. He's on his own. ::frowns::

CSO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Confirmed, the field is blocking a wide range of bands.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
@::notices the static burst and a short burst of adrenaline goes through his spinal cord::  Self: Looks like I'm alone on this one.. ::tries to hold a emotionless impression on his face::
