Host XO_Black says:
FCO: I'm sure you will do her proud as you have done here...  and be sure to keep in touch...  or I'll have to ask Mr Ahkileez to bring you back from time to time..  ::grins::

FCO_More says:
Crew: Thank you all. Even though I've only known most of you a short time, my entire Starfleet career has been aboard this vessel. She has been my home. It's been an honour serving with you.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: I cant believe he is leaving, I haven’t even got to know him yet......

Taq`fan says:

::glances over at More and smiles his congratulations, appreciative of the stories the man had to tell about his uncle. What lovely family blackmail they would make::

FCO_More says:
::Wonders how long it will be before the Seleya will feel like home::

Host XO_Black says:
All: All Right.. please quiet down for moment everyone...

Taq`fan says:
::Nods, wriggles his ridges at the XO, and takes a step back::

CSO_Danann says:
SO: well, maybe we'll get another low rank on board now, and we won't be so low in the food chain...

TO_DuPont says:
::Listens to the XO and the ambassador and wonders to himself why the co-ordinates are a secret::

::walks down the corridor to sickbay, deep in thought::

OPS-Furlong says:
::checks his console then looks at the viewscreen::

Taq`fan says:
SO: Yes, but I do not believe you would be able to provide it.

CSO_Danann says:
::thinks, bites her lip absentmindedly:: SO Um... nothing you didn’t learn at the academy...err, as an assistant, you have to share your console now and then, it can be reprogrammed to become an all-purpose one if necessary, and I need you to keep an eye on staff in the bio-labs, they have a tendency to wander away from their tasks...

SO_K`Nargh says:
::gets angry at that comment::

TO_DuPont says:
::glances down at the console and his eyes light up:: XO: Sir I'm picking up a faint distress call

Taq`fan says:
::looks at the SO, curiously::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: well then, if I can’t provide anything I suggest you move on

Host XO_Black says:
::turns to the TO and stands::  TO: Let's hear it, Ensign...

FCO_Croft says:
::in the Turbolift on his way to the bridge, tapping the beat to a song he was listening to earlier with a PADD against his baggier Starfleet issue Pilot Cargo pants::

CEO_Mesme says:
*EO* If you feel like turning a cargo bay upside down to find something to store some data on then feel free to join me, if not I will give you the next few hours to do what you will, at least until I find my bearings

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: sorry about that, umm ok then ill just settle down at SCI2 and if there is anything you need just say so

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: A series of high-pitched bleeps is heard

CSO_Danann says:
::glares at the SO:: Taq'fan: Apologies, Ambassador, my assistant is only new aboard... ::smiles a little::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CIV: I think you're going to need someone more with actual combat time on the scout teams. Can't afford the whole squad freezing if they do see encounter the Ritanai or the Kinwe.

TO_DuPont says:
XO: Aye Sir, its from a nearby planet

CMO_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay, looks around and walks through to the labs:: MOs: Ok, folks, time to get cracking on that Altairian Encephalitis.

Taq`fan says:
XO: You should be picking up a beacon. Follow it to it's source.

Taq`fan says:
::wriggles ridges at the CSO::  CSO: No need to apologise.

EO_Leasha says:
*CEO* Oh hmm Kay .. I mean Yes Sir ! I’ll guess it will be ME then Sir ....

TO_DuPont says:
::feeds the comm. console information from the tactical console::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: I was apologizing to the CSO not you

CIV_Benson says:
CTO: Then what do you suggest,  we don't have much in choices on board the ship sir

Host XO_Black says:
::listens to the distress call::  Taq'Fan: Understood...

FCO_Croft says:
::steps out on to the Bridge an looks around; he's only been here once or twice::

EO_Leasha says:
::Feels a pain shot up her ankle but ignores it ::TL: ME then

Host XO_Black says:
TO: Ensign, send the coordinates of the planet to flight control.....

CSO_Danann says:
::sighs:: SO: Stop being rude to the ambassador...please... ::sounds serious::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::sits at SCI2::

TO_DuPont says:
XO: Already done Sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: talking about rude ::looks at Taq'fan::

CMO_Varesh says:
::smiles as his staff moves around the lab, starting to get more information on the specific strain of disease and why it would affect Klingons::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::sighs:: CIV: Agreed. ::brings up a listing:: This one, Flight Officer Edran. I think he could be put on the scouting detail. He ran escort before at least. ::points out the Andorian::

Host XO_Black says:
::smiles::  TO: Good...

SO_K`Nargh says:
::tries to calm down::

CSO_Danann says:
::hears a beep on her console and turns::  XO: Err, Commander, I have one life-sign on that planet...it's... ::pauses and looks up:: Ok, it's human, sir...

Taq`fan says:
CSO: Is your assistant a member of an inferior species?

CEO_Mesme says:
::thinks for a moment:: *EO* actually there is something you could do, I will need a way to fast access the data we are going to collect from the bridge, if you could set up a series of command routines for me that would be a great help ::picks up the cargo bay inventory list:: Self: Your in here somewhere...

SO_K`Nargh says:
::starting to get annoyed::

TO_DuPont says:
::Feels a little nervous:: XO: Sir, shields?

FCO_Croft says:
:: immediately his eyes fall to the helm and he wonders what the Scimitar is like to fly::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: A klingon is not an inferior species, we are warriors

CSO_Danann says:
Taq'fan: He's a member of a passionate species, Ambassador... ::keeps her eyes on her console::

FCO_Croft says:
::steps down into the command area unnoticed and looks at the XO::

CIV_Benson says:
::looks at the profile::  CTO:  ok, let me go over it all again and see what I can come up with

EO_Leasha says:
::Stops dead in her tracks:: *CEO* but Sir .. that would mean going to .. the em .. the bridge Sir ::wonders if she could do it in ME::

Taq`fan says:
::nods to the SO::  SO: I believe I am beginning to understand.

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Glances up:: Taq`fan: Shall I deal with this, Ambassador?

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at the TO::  CSO: Understood, Ensign...

Taq`fan says:
Dref: Deal? Please explain.

FCO_Croft says:
XO: I'm Ensign Kalen Croft. Commander More told me I was the recommended Chief of Flight Control, and for me to report for duty around about now. So here I am, reporting for duty.

CMO_Varesh says:
::goes to his office and starts reading crew medical reports::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
CIV: Good. Let me know what you come up with, and we can arrange things up here so we're not shooting down your fighters. ::smiles a little::

FCO_Croft says:
::looks around the bridge, recognising some of the officers from the Blade Lounge::

CEO_Mesme says:
*EO* ::purrs:: Or you can continue to investigate Captain Hera's death, it is up to you

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: You are brave for talking like this to a klingon

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Taq`fan: Is he disturbing you?

CIV_Benson says:
::nods:: CTO: thank you, I’ll be in TIC if you need me

CSO_Danann says:
::shoots a warning look at SO, telling him to keep quiet...and be polite::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::notices the look from CSO::

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Glances back at the SO:: SO: Did you just threaten the Ambassador, Ensign?

Host XO_Black says:
::notices the FCO::  FCO: Ah.... good to have you with us..  no time for formalities..  ::gestures to flight control::  take your seat please..  ::smiles::

EO_Leasha says:
::Groans at that thought :: *CEO* bridge it is then Sir .. I will inform you when I have completed, Sir

TO_DuPont says:
::raises shields and sends the ship to yellow alert::

Taq`fan says:
Dref: Not at all, I am learning about the interactions between your crew, and the differences between species. This is all quite interesting.

SO_K`Nargh says:
Cmdr: No sir.......

OPS-Furlong says:
::turns in a very annoyed mood:: CSO: If you can not keep your SO in line, I will!

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CIV: Understood, Ensign. ::turns back to Tac-I::

CIV_Benson says:
::goes to the TL and heads down to TIC::

EO_Leasha says:
::Checks she has everything she needs and enters the TL:: TL : Bridge ::takes a deep breath::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Cmdr: Just a little argument that is all

TO_DuPont says:
CTO: Sir, shields are raised and we are at yellow alert!

FCO_Croft says:
::looks at the XO like he's not worth his time and nods::

FCO_Croft says:
::turns and takes flight control::

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Nods at the Ambassador, he walks towards the viewscreen::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: Is this what your job is.. observing species ?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::confirms as much at his console::  TO: How are our sensors?

CEO_Mesme says:
*EO* Enjoy yourself ::chuckles:: the bridge officers will probably go easy on you, Mesme out ::purrs as he reads through the list::

Taq`fan says:
SO: It is part of it. My government knows little about you.

Host XO_Black says:
FCO: Well then...ETA to the planet ?

CMO_Varesh says:
::Frowns at the ceiling, as the emotions from the bridge filters down to him:: Self: Such terrible discipline. How am I supposed to concentrate if they leak all over the place!

EO_Leasha says:
::walks quietly on to the bridge hoping not to be seen and walks up to the Engineering Console and activates it ::

CSO_Danann says:
::turns to Dref::  Dref: It's Ok, Commander, I can deal with this... ::sounds serious:: The Ambassador has graciously taken no offence...

CIV_Benson says:
::enters the TIC and brings up the situation on the viewscreen on the wall::

OPS-Furlong says:
::shakes his head very annoyed::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: Interesting job, but you will never know everything about us, this is impossible

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Glances back at the CSO, he nods slowly and turns back to facing the viewscreen::

Host XO_Black says:
CSO: Ensign, what's the status on that life sign...?

TO_DuPont says:
CTO: We detected a faint distress call from a nearby planet, it appears to be part of the Ambassador's plan, but I thought it prudent to advise the XO that we’d raise shields

Taq`fan says:
SO: It is indeed.

EO_Leasha says:
::Starts working on the sub routines to find a quicker route ::

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: And yes we do get angry quickly but you should have known that

Taq`fan says:
SO: Anger can only lead to destruction.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: sorry for all this commotion

CMO_Varesh says:
::puts up more mental shields and turns to his work again::

FCO_Croft says:
::takes a readout::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: TO: Prudent enough anyway. The source of the distress call has been identified?

FCO_Croft says:
::takes another readout::

CSO_Danann says:
::turns back to her readings::  XO: It's strengthening a little...but that could just be because I’m picking it up better the closer we get...I can't tell it's medical status just yet.

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: It can, but our species have not destroyed them selves yet....

CIV_Benson says:
::running his own scans on the life sign and gets a surprising reading :: *XO* Sir,  I’m getting a rather strange reading from the life sign

FCO_Croft says:
XO: I'd guess around 2 minutes until transporter range.

TO_DuPont says:
CTO: Human lifeform on the planets surface sir

CEO_Mesme says:
Self: Something to store information on... and its got to be mobile... ::reads on::

Taq`fan says:
SO: I did not mention destroying _yourselves_.

EO_Leasha says:
::Starts to get carried away with her work and hums to her self will she cross grds some areas::

Host XO_Black says:
CSO: Acknowledged...  keep an eye on it...

CSO_Danann says:
XO: Aye sir...I'll keep you posted. ::scans the data on her console::

CIV_Benson says:
TIC Officer: Run that life sign through the databank    *XO*: it's a StarFleet sign sir

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::turns, frowning:: TO: A human, out here that's not on a starship ?  There are no Terran colonies out this way, are there?

Host XO_Black says:
FCO: Good...once we're in range slow down to a quarter impulse...

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: You mentioned anger can lead to destruction,  same thing isn’t it

FCO_Croft says:
XO: Not a problem.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: anything I can do to help?

CSO_Danann says:
XO: Commander, the human's male, uninjured sir.

SO_K`Nargh says:
Taq'fan: I must be getting on my work now, maybe we can chat some other time

Taq`fan says:
SO: Excuse me. ::walks across to the XO::

Host XO_Black says:
::frowns::  Self: A StarFleet signal…. here ?   *CIV*: A StarFleet Signal...here..?

Taq`fan says:
::Watches the viewscreen intently::

TO_DuPont says:
::Shrugs::  TO: No explanation, sir other than its a StarFleet signal sir

EO_Leasha says:
::while she at it checks over the over all health of the ship wondering if the CEO is busy and turns to glance at the bridge::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: anything I can do to help?

CIV_Benson says:
::the TIC officer hands him the results of the database search::  *XO* I just did a search in the StarFleet database:: pauses:: this man has been missing in action for some time

OPS-Furlong says:
::tapping his console::

CMO_Varesh says:
::smiles at a particular entry in one of the files and makes note to follow it up::

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at the CSO::  *CMO*: Doctor…we've picked up a StarFleet signal...  life sign readings suggest the person down there is uninjured...

CSO_Danann says:
::turns momentarily to SO behind her:: SO: A word with you later, after this shift. be in my office 1730 hrs, got it? ::sounds serious::

CIV_Benson says:
*XO* I don't understand how he could have gotten here

OPS-Furlong says:
::tries too get a lock on the signal::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: yes miss

CEO_Mesme says:
::opens up one of the many containers and looks at the racks of tricorders::  Self: This could take all day... ::continues down the list::

EO_Leasha says:
::Sees that all ship systems are within normal parameters and goes back to the subroutines gingerly finding a shorter route than the one she had::

SO_K`Nargh says:
self: in trouble already........

OPS-Furlong says:
XO: Trying too get a lock, sir

CMO_Varesh says:
::blinks:: *XO*: Understood, sir. Anything particular you want me to do, apart from examining him when we get there?

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: but is there anything I can do to help in this situation?

OPS-Furlong says:
XO:I have a lock, sir! Beam in on your Command, sir!

TO_DuPont says:
XO/CTO: Security detail in the transporter room sirs?

CIV_Benson says:
ALL: I want all the information you can get from the planet and who has been here or what and get it fast  ::the TIC officers begin to scramble to work::

Host XO_Black says:
*CMO*: Seems he has been missing in action for some time... I'll have the CIV send you his physical records...

CMO_Varesh says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. I'll be ready.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: guess not, mind if I go back to my quarters?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::considers it:: TO/XO: I don't think it's necessary. Probably just a medical team would suffice.

CIV_Benson says:
*CMO* I'll be sending you his profile and MED records to get ready for him

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at the CTO::  OPS: Lieutenant, transport him directly to sickbay....

FCO_Croft says:
All: Isn't a little dangerous to beam him to the ship?

CSO_Danann says:
SO: Scan the planet, I want to know about it's topography, weather patterns, anything you can give me that might help an Away Team, if it's necessary...

FCO_Croft says:
All: He might be contaminated or something.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: yes miss

CMO_Varesh says:
*CIV*: Much appreciated, Ensign. ::gets up and walks to the main biobed::

TO_DuPont says:
::finds himself agreeing with the FCO::

SO_K`Nargh says:
:: turns on his consoles and scans the planet::

OPS-Furlong says:
XO: Aye  ::starts transport of the man too sickbay::

FCO_Croft says:
All: In which case, beaming him would lead to our demise as well.

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: The officer is beamed aboard the Scimitar.

Host XO_Black says:
FCO: Thank you for your opinion, Ensign..  ::giving him a frown::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::finds the man excitable::  FCO: He's a person, not a bomb.

OPS-Furlong says:
::goes on with his duties::

CMO_Varesh says:
Computer: Erect level 5 forcefield around the biobed, and scan for any contamination once the patient has been beamed in.

FCO_Croft says:
XO: Anytime, Commander.

CIV_Benson says:
::starting to get results back from the scans and readings::  XO: You might want to here this sir

CIV_Benson says:
::a TIC officer sends the profile to sickbay::

Host XO_Black says:
*CIV*: Why is that, Ensign ?

FCO_Croft says:
CTO: Yes, but why is he missing in action? We don't know. It's foolish to be so impulsive.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
:;sighs, aware of the paranoia that pervades the ship::  TO: Let's go through those defensive sequences while they play Samaritan.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: This is a barren planet, mostly sand dunes and scattered caves

John_Exeter says:
::materializes in Sickbay::

EO_Leasha says:
::waits to see if what she has done has worked and looks around the bridge at the officer working away::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: This planet has frequent storms which can turn very violent, these storms can have wind speeds up to 200 km/h

CSO_Danann says:
SO: That can’t be all there is... any large water masses?

CIV_Benson says:
*XO: Well sir, the Taq'uah have been here and I’m getting evidence that I can't make out or identify

Host XO_Black says:
::overhears the FCO::  FCO: Ensign, another such comment and I'll have you relieved of duty...  ::glares::

CMO_Varesh says:
Exeter: Sir, please stay on the biobed, I have a level 5 forcefield around it for the moment. I need to check you and your environment for contamination. Welcome to the Scimitar.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: No water detected, looks like one big desert planer

EO_Leasha says:
::Hears the XO and looks and shakes her head ::

Taq`fan says:
::Wriggles ridges::

John_Exeter says:
CMO: Sure thing, doc ::stands up::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: wait, picking up some H2O readings, seems like there is a small river, and I mean small

CSO_Danann says:
SO: then... ::stops and thinks:: what's the surface humidity level?

FCO_Croft says:
XO: Excuse me sir. I wasn't aware that I wasn't entitled to an opinion, or that my input wasn't valid.

CMO_Varesh says:
Computer: Initiate scan. *XO*: Sir. He's on board. ::turns to Exeter::  Exeter: May I ask your name? I'm Lt. Cmdr. Varesh.

Host XO_Black says:
*CIV*: All Right...  I'll be down a few minutes...

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: The humidity level is very little

TO_DuPont says:
::Studies the Vulcan for a second::  CTO: Aye sir, I believe if we remove sub-routines 11 and 56 on the torpedo firing sequence we will be able to knock of a whole second in the firing sequence.

EO_Leasha says:
::turns as her consol Blips at her and smiles at her work::

John_Exeter says:
CMO: I was FCO on the Nighthawk, LtJG John A. Exeter

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: This is a very dangerous planet for a mission

Host SM_Nick says:
<Computer> CMO: Scan complete.

SO_K`Nargh says:
Self: this planet is really deadly

CMO_Varesh says:
::takes the information as offered::  Computer: Results?

FCO_Croft says:
::shakes his head, and wonders why More would think he wanted to be here::

CSO_Danann says:
::frowns::  SO: Well, if there’s no large water bodies, and the humidity is so level, how did that guy survive down there?

CIV_Benson says:
*XO*: yes sir  :: looks at everyone else::  ALL: Ok gang, lets get this worked out, work all your sources and keep on it, get as much as you can,  and get the planet on the holoprojector

SO_K`Nargh says:
CSO: maybe there are some hidden oasis's covered under the sand?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::joins DuPont at Tac-II:: TO: That puts down our safety margin by 11%, though. ::thinks:: Given the stakes, though, I think it would be a good idea to have every ace we can manage.

Host XO_Black says:
*CMO*: Understood...who is he...?  ::moves away from the command area::

Taq`fan says:
::takes a seat, removes forehead prosthesis, and it scuttles off down the corridor on its own::

CEO_Mesme says:
::opens up another container and smiles at the contents:: Self: That will do nicely

John_Exeter says:
::hears the voice of the XO::  CMO: Tell Brian I said hi ::grins::

Host SM_Nick says:
<Computer> CMO: No unusual substances found.

CSO_Danann says:
::shakes head:: SO: No, that'd still show in localised high levels of humidity... ::bites lip::

CMO_Varesh says:
*XO*: Lt. John Exeter, previous FCO of the Nighthawk is our guest. ::hears the computer:: And he's got a clean bill of health. Shall I escort him to the bridge?
