CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Sitting in a chair at the table::

CIV_Croft says:
::in the observation lounge, looking like he has better things to be ding, as usual::

CMO_Varesh says:
::sits quietly in his chair, waiting for the meeting to start::

CEO_DuPont says:
::On his way to the observation lounge::

XO_Mortimer says:
::walks into the observation lounge, a little flustered::

FCO-Exeter says:
::chewing gum and looking bored::

EO_Leasha says:
:: Sitting in her chair not humming for once and waiting to see what this is all a bout::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::walks into the observation lounge and takes a seat::

Host CO_Black says:
::in the observation lounge, rereading the information he got on PADD and waiting for the signal from OPS that Admiral Rix was ready for his announced mission briefing::

TO_K`Nargh says:
Self: where is the CTO....

Host SM_Nick says:
<OPS Mops> *CO* Captain, Incoming transmission from Starbase 236.

EO_Leasha says:
::Taps her nails on the desk annoyingly::

CEO_DuPont says:
::Enters into the observation lounge, nods at the CO before taking a seat::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::moves seat to sit near the CTO::  CTO: Hey, Welcome back

CIV_Croft says:
::hears the comm. and takes his seat, looking quite lassez-faire::

Host CO_Black says:
::taps his commbadge and gestures everyone to take a seat and be quiet::  *OPS*: Understood, patch the transmission through to the observation lounge...

EO_Leasha says:
::sees the CTO and smiles::

XO_Mortimer says:
::takes a seat next to the CO, trying to read a PADD instead of looking where he's going, but surprisingly sits down without incident::

FCO-Exeter says:
::sits straights and looks towards the screen::  Self: Why ain't we going to get some leave, it's time too get drunk! ::looks at his watch::

CTO_Mesme says:
::smiles:: TO: Thanks

Host CO_Black says:
::nods at the CEO as he also takes his seat::

SO_Lessing says:
::enters late, sees there is no chair, so stands::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::signals the SO over as there is one chair left::  SO: Over here…

Host SM_Nick says:
ACTION: Admiral Rix's face appears on the screen.

CMO_Varesh says:
::turns his attention to the screen::

EO_Leasha says:
::Sighs and slouches in her chair ::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@COM: CO: Captain.  ::nods::

CTO_Mesme says:
::turns his attention to the viewer::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::turns around and faces the screen::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::looks at the screen::

Host CO_Black says:
::turns to face the screen and nods as he sees Rix's face::  COM: ADM: Admiral, good to see you again.. ::smiles faintly::

XO_Mortimer says:
::manages to snap to attention while sitting, and looks towards the screen::

CIV_Croft says:
::looks at the viewer, unimpressed::

SO_Lessing says:
TO: Thank you ::Smiles at the TO::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::whispers::  SO: No problem

XO_Mortimer says:
::frowns at the CIV's lack of respect::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::nods::  COM: CO: Likewise, Commander.  Starfleet has received a distress call from a humanoid colony on Malandra 6.  They have been receiving threats from the indigenous inhabitants of the planet, and are now being subjected to small scale attacks.

EO_Leasha says:
::Sits quietly for as long as possible for her without fidgeting ::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::whispers::  CTO: Another job for us I guess

Host CO_Black says:
::nods as he listens to the Admiral's situation sketch::

MO_Hixxan says:
::enters sickbay, and heads for duty padd to check on patients::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@COM: CO: Your orders are to investigate the situation and render assistance where appropriate.

EO_Leasha says:
::sees the CEO and just looks blankly at him then fidgets ::

CMO_Varesh says:
::waits for a moment to ask a question and glances to the CO::

CTO_Mesme says:
::give the TO the waving hand "maybe, maybe not" signal::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::nods at the CTO and looks back at the screen::

MO_Hixxan says:
::notices that CMO office’s is empty ....thinks to himself that it's wont be long till he will start being invited to meetings... but hopefully not soon.... continues to check patients::

FCO-Exeter says:
::shakes his head::  Self: We need leave not yet another mission!

CIV_Croft says:
::resists the urge to rolls his eyes at this mundane mission::

CMO_Varesh says:
CO: Sir, if I may?

Host CO_Black says:
::tries to digest the information and nods at the CMO::  CMO: By all means, Doctor...

CEO_DuPont says:
::sits quietly looking around at the other officers::

CMO_Varesh says:
COM: Adm: Admiral, what's the reports on casualties and or seriousness of injuries?

EO_Leasha says:
::Fidgets again hiding the fact she moved a padd under the table ::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@COM: CMO: So far they have been minor.  Nothing more than abrasions and broken bones.  But they colonists fear that the Malandrans may step up their attacks soon, hence our concern.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CO: I also got a question for Adm Rix

CMO_Varesh says:
COM: Adm: Thanks, sir. I know what to prepare in the interim.

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::nods::

CIV_Croft says:
::taps his fingers silently on a PADD, only half paying attention, and reading over the intelligence reports::

XO_Mortimer says:
::has a somewhat worried look on his face::

TO_K`Nargh says:
COM: ADM: Sir, will we be able to use as much force as we possible can to stop these Malandran attacks?

XO_Mortimer says:
::looks at the TO, shocked::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::frowns:: COM: TO: As a Starfleet officer, you are to abide by the directives laid down within Starfleet's charter.

Host Adm_Rix says:
@COM: CO: Captain, do I need to provide your tactical staff with a refresher course?

CTO_Mesme says:
::turns to look at his TO:: Self: Maybe a lot of work...

TO_K`Nargh says:
::growls::  Self: We never get to do anything fun

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: Sir.. if I may?

EO_Leasha says:
::looks up from the Padd since the conversation is getting interesting ::

Host CO_Black says:
::glares at the TO::  COM: ADM: That won't be necessary, Sir...  I will see to that...

TO_K`Nargh says:
::sits back down disgusted::

Host CO_Black says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Go ahead, Commander...

CMO_Varesh says:
::smiles slightly at the conversation::

XO_Mortimer says:
COM: ADM: Admiral, my apologies for bringing this up, but surely under the Federation constitution the native inhabitants of the planet have prior claim to it, and would be the legitimate authority in this case?

TO_K`Nargh says:
CO: Oh one more question for the Adm, Sir

SO_Lessing says:
::grins at the TO::

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::frowns again::  COM: XO: I take it you've not read the briefing notes sent to you on the Malandran treaty of 8405.12?

Host CO_Black says:
::glances at the TO::  TO: Hold on a moment, Ensign...

XO_Mortimer says:
COM: ADM: ::tries to glance at his PADD without the admiral noticing:: Ah.. I... appear to be missing that information, Admiral. ::goes very red::

CMO_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the mention of a treaty::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CO: Just tell me when sir

FCO-Exeter says:
::rolls eyes::  CO: Permission too take leave, sir?

EO_Leasha says:
::suddenly realises she hasn't been paying attention and hasn't a clue what is going on ::

CIV_Croft says:
::subconsciously pulls up a search for intelligence files relating to the Malandran::

Host CO_Black says:
::faintly smiles at his XO then turning to the TO::  TO: Let's try that again, Ensign... and use your head before asking a question... ::still smiling faintly::

TO_K`Nargh says:
COM: ADM: So even if these people are getting slaughtered and murdered by the time we get there we are not allowed to use full force ?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
XO: ::whispers:: Malandran treaty allowed the Federation to settle a colony on the planet in return for trade to compensate for a PD incident 2 years earlier.

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::smiles that oh-so-professional smile that's required when one is totally irritated, but can't show it::

CTO_Mesme says:
::resists the urge to hit his head on the table, turns and gives his TO another look::

Host CO_Black says:
::frowns again::  TO: That's enough Ensign...you've made your point clear...

CMO_Varesh says:
TO: I didn't hear once the mention of slaughter and murder... pay attention.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CO: Its just a question sir...

Host Adm_Rix says:
@COM: TO: Your Commanding Officer has the authority to use his discretion in this matter, ENSIGN.

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: ::nods:: thank you. ::tries to commit that to memory::

CIV_Croft says:
::finds nothing of real interest except for a prime directive incident::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CMO: I said by the time we get there and there getting slaughtered and murdered

TO_K`Nargh says:
COM: ADM: Yes sir ::about to say something else but advises against it and sits down::

FCO-Exeter says:
::waits for Brian's reply::

CMO_Varesh says:
::arches an eyebrow at K'Nargh, but says nothing::

EO_Leasha says:
::sits back in her chair and sighs::

Host CO_Black says:
::glances at the FCO::  FCO: We can discuss that later, Lieutenant...

SO_Lessing says:
All: There is a huge amount of open space on Malandala 6.  And a very small indigenous population.  There should be plenty of room for everyone.

Host CO_Black says:
::nods at the SO::  All: Any questions at this time...?

FCO-Exeter says:
::mutters::  Self: As soon as the ship already left space dock

XO_Mortimer says:
CO/SO: Is there any possibility of relocating one faction to another continental landmass to discourage contact between the two?

CIV_Croft says:
SO: The amount of space available hardly matters. Space is vast, and yet still the Dominion fought us for the Alpha Quadrant.

Host Adm_Rix says:
@::sighs::  COM: CO: Good luck, Captain.  Something tells me you'll need it.  That, and a lot of extra training sessions.

TO_K`Nargh says:
::gets up and leaves::  All: I’ll be in my room since my questions are not appreciated here

Host CO_Black says:
::nods::  COM: ADM: Aye, Admiral...thank you for your time...

SO_Lessing says:
XO: I don't see why not, provided that one of them actually wants to move.  That could be the root of the problem

XO_Mortimer says:
TO: I do not believe the Captain has dismissed you yet, Mr. K`Nargh. Return to your chair!

XO_Mortimer says:
::looks horrified at this impertinent act::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::growls loudly::  XO: Yes, sir  ::sits down at the back of the room and senses all eyes on him::

CEO_DuPont says:
::shakes his head, trying to hide the smile on his face as he caught the look on the XO's face::

Host CO_Black says:
::whispers::  XO: Commander, bring the TO to my readyroom after this meeting...  ::raises his voice again::  All: All Right, we have work to do people... return to your stations...

XO_Mortimer says:
::nods to the CO::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::gets up to leave::

EO_Leasha says:
::nearly cheers although it turned out to be a interesting meeting and decides to head straight for a JT::

CEO_DuPont says:
::stands and pauses for a second::  EO: Oh Karla....

CMO_Varesh says:
::nods, takes his PADD and exits the room with the rest of the staff::

CIV_Croft says:
::gets up casually, turns, and files out, the takes the auxiliary station on the bridge and begins downloading something::

FCO-Exeter says:
::stays seated and looks at the TO::

EO_Leasha says:
::turns and looks at Dupont:: CEO: yes Sir

TO_K`Nargh says:
::notices the FCO's Glare::  FCO: Can I do anything for you today?

CTO_Mesme says:
::thinks leaving the TO out of an AT might be a good idea::

CEO_DuPont says:
EO: Your assigned bridge duty, until the end of your shift ::smiles:: and exits the room

SO_Lessing says:
CIV: I suppose that is true.

CMO_Varesh says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck 4.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::gets up and leaves to go to his chair::

TO_K`Nargh says:
FCO: Guess not ::prepares to leave the room and head back for tac 2::

XO_Mortimer says:
TO: <Ahem> Report to the Captain's Ready Room. Immediately.

EO_Leasha says:
::stands there shocked then chases after the CEO::  CEO: Hey Sir .. that’s unfair ... I was there last time…

TO_K`Nargh says:
::turns around as the XO says this::  XO: Yes sir.....

TO_K`Nargh says:
::knocks on the captains readyroom door::

Host Adm_Rix says:
ACTION: A few hours later, the Scimitar enters orbit around Malandra 6.

CEO_DuPont says:
::Down in main engineering::

CTO_Mesme says:
::sat at TAC running a full scan of the planets surface::

Host CO_Black says:
::in his readyroom, looking up on Malandra 6::

EO_Leasha says:
::on the bridge feeling extremely picked on and hard done by!::

FCO-Exeter says:
:;looks angry at the view screen::  Self: I have the feeling I’ve been conned again!!!

TO_K`Nargh says:
::gets on bridge and sits at tac2 without saying a word to the CTO::

CMO_Varesh says:
::walks out of his office and looks for Hixxan::  MO: Jau, we're here to assess the situation down on the planet. Get your medkit ready, I'm not sure who's going down with the away team.

MO_Hixxan_ says:
:: Only a few hours left of his shift.... wonders where the CMO is::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::sitting trying to see if he can sense any strong emotions down on the planet::

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::turns around::

XO_Mortimer says:
::on the bridge, rising from the centre seat::

EO_Leasha says:
::looks around the bridge and at the crew and sighs sadly then looks back at her console::

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: Yes Sir, I'll prepare a medkit for you..... will you be expecting many casualties down there

CTO_Mesme says:
::looks up at the TO:: TO: What came over you? ::refines his scans::

SO_Lessing says:
::At science station on bridge, reviewing data::

XO_Mortimer says:
CTO: Mr Mesme, you have the bridge.

CTO_Mesme says:
XO: Aye sir

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I don’t want to talk about it.....I have been going through a rough time with my fathers death....also I wanted to help those people by protecting them with full force.....

CMO_Varesh says:
MO: I'm not sure... lets prepare for the worst. I'll call for additional staff if needs be…

XO_Mortimer says:
::heads off to the CO's ready room and knocks::

EO_Leasha says:
::does a diagnostic for the sheer delight of it Knowing that the Chief has probably done it anyway ::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Some advice, keep your personal feelings out of your work, you will be no use to anyone if you set off a fire fight, or worse

Host CO_Black says:
::hears someone knocking and smiles::  XO: Enter !

CEO_DuPont says:
::runs a diagnostic on the warp engines and smiles happily to himself when the diagnostic comes back with a report of 98% efficiency::

SO_Lessing says:
CTO, EO: Nothing unusual about the planet, just a little more than usual amounts of thermohyranide.

XO_Mortimer says:
::enters as the door swishes aside::

Host CO_Black says:
::stands from behind his desk and sips from his coffee::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Still I have the right to try and protect these people, what if there getting slaughtered and what do we do just sit and watch and try to stop there whole army with stun guns?

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: Aye Sir ... the Patients are all sleeping.... one with chemical lung burn..  and two with hypertensive shock

CNS_tr`Loris says:
Self: hmm.

EO_Leasha says:
::Sees everything is fine and sighs::  *CEO*: Leasha to Dupont

CEO_DuPont says:
*EO* DuPont here, go ahead

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: We will do what we have to do, preferably without violence

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: Sir.. I have to admit to some problems I have with the mission ahead of us.

FCO-Exeter says:
TO: Main reason why there where more Human dead then Vulcans in the last War, human can't keep there head cool.

CMO_Varesh says:
::nods::  MO: Good work. Keep an eye on them, but brief one of the other doctors in case I need you on the surface.

TO_K`Nargh says:
FCO: I’m not a human

CTO_Mesme says:
SO: Can you get a fix on the planets populations?

EO_Leasha says:
*CEO*: Hmmm Sir is there any point in me being here .. I mean I’m sure there is some horrible mundane job you could find the heart to give me Sir ?

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: So your saying if your family was getting slaughtered you would try to stop the attackers peacefully?

FCO-Exeter says:
TO: Your worse, your a Klingon, no temper control whatsoever…

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: Aye Sir ::turns to arrange medical kits...::

Host CO_Black says:
::moves around his desk and leans towards it and looks at his XO::  XO: Let's hear it Vincent... ::gestures towards one of the seats::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::growls and about to strike the FCO but restrains from it::  FCO: Watch yourself

CEO_DuPont says:
*EO*: Your getting valuable command experience

SO_Lessing says:
CTO: Sir, they are split as was agreed to in the treaty.

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Violence only leads to more violence ::gives the FCO a look::

XO_Mortimer says:
::takes the seat, a preoccupied look on his face::

FCO-Exeter says:
TO: I can break your neck within a split second, so keep your threats too yourself, lad!

CTO_Mesme says:
SO: Any sign of recent... engagements by either side?

CMO_Varesh says:
::smiles as his assistant starts preparations. He goes back into his office and pulls up information on the Malandrans::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::laughs::  FCO: You cannot harm me, your like a little ant to me, so I suggest you fly this ship and don’t start anything with me, you will be sorry if you do…

EO_Leasha says:
CEO: Oh I am ...... ::stops:: Not sure how you worked that one out Sir but .. Oh forget it .. thanks you having the heart to give me something to do ..... Sir !

CTO_Mesme says:
::in a slightly raised voice::  TO/FCO: That’s enough !

SO_Lessing says:
CTO: Nothing more recent than a week ago, as far as I can tell Sir.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: yes sir, as long as this fool keeps his mouth shut nothing will happen

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: I... guess I have a few problems with the legitimacy of what we're doing. I was brought up to respect the rights of other species, especially those who have chosen to govern themselves. Despite the treaty that technically gives us rights over this planet, I'm not sure I'm too comfortable with our right to have an agreement that has the native population give up those rights in the first place.

CEO_DuPont says:
*EO* Don't mention it, DuPont out!

FCO-Exeter says:
TO: Killed enough Jem'hadar in my time, and klingons ain't nothing against them!

CIV_Croft says:
::looks up at the CTO, TO and FCO and smiles faintly, then returns to his work quite amused::

CMO_Varesh says:
::the smile fades from his lips as aggression filters down from the bridge:: Self: Being all male up there again I suppose.

TO_K`Nargh says:
FCO: I swear one more word....::stops:: your lucky if no one was here you would be gone in a second but I don’t want to get in any more trouble

SO_Lessing says:
::Mumbles under his breath about violence being the last resort of the incompetent::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::sighs::

EO_Leasha says:
::Turns as she hears the CTO then the CEO::  Self: What’s the point I knew he enjoyed torturing me

CTO_Mesme says:
::puts his hands together:: Self: This is all we need...

CTO_Mesme says:
SO: Sorry, where were we?

Host CO_Black says:
::nods::  XO: I can understand your reservations, Commander... but the accompanying reports from the treaty indicate that the natives gave up the land willingly, heck, they even asked for it as they knew it would bring them prosperity in various area's...

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::arranges medical kits with a Cortical, Neural and Cardiac Stimulators... and a type 2 phaser...  from the way the CMO said he wasn’t sure what the situation was like on the surface... he figures it might come in handy::

SO_Lessing says:
CTO: No signs of conflict more recent than a week, Sir.

FCO-Exeter says:
::looks at the TO and raises a Eyebrow::  Self: Coward!

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: I agree that it was their decision, but I still question whether we had the moral right to accept it.

EO_Leasha says:
::wonders if she should restrict the flow to the PTC just for the fun of it and give the CEO something to do then smiles to herself::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::looks at the FCO::  Self: He’s lucky the CTO told me to stop or he would have a couple broken bones

CMO_Varesh says:
::turns to his reading again, making note of the native medical data::

CTO_Mesme says:
SO: That’s right... keep an eye on those scans, if it appears that there might be an encounter brewing let me know

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Permission to leave the bridge, sir

FCO-Exeter says:
:;looks at his console:: CTO: Incoming hail!

SO_Lessing says:
CTO: Will do Sir.

Host CO_Black says:
::looks a bit confused::  XO: What are you trying to indicate...?

CEO_DuPont says:
::Hums to himself, as all diagnostic check come back with high efficiency reports::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Wait a moment

CTO_Mesme says:
FCO: Put it on speaker

TO_K`Nargh says:
::growls::  CTO: Yes sir ::mumbles some klingon curse words under his breath::

FCO-Exeter says:
CTO: It's from the Colony. :;pushes a few buttons and puts it on speaker::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::looks at the screen::

Host Martes says:
@COM: Scimitar: Federation vessel, this is Guillermo Martes.  I speak for our leader.  Please, are you here to help us?

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: Just that.. in the event of a conflict arising, I believe there is the possibility that they may wish for their land back, and if so do we have the rights to say "no".... Their home planet is hardly a resource that can be bought and sold. I'll try not to let that influence my actions, sir, but I thought it was only fair to let you know my feelings on the matter.

EO_Leasha says:
::turns to look at the screen out of interest::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
self: he speaks for their leader, where is their leader that he's not talking to us?

TO_K`Nargh says:
::doesn’t even bother looking at the screen::  CTO: Perhaps you should call in the CO and XO…

CTO_Mesme says:
COM: Martes: This is Lt Aun'to Mesme, we are here to provide whatever assistance we can, what is your current situation?

Host Martes says:
@COM: CTO: We're scared down here, Lieutenant.  The attacks are starting to become more frequent, and harmful.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
*CO/XO*: We've got an incoming message from the colony. You might want to hear this.

Host CO_Black says:
::nods::  XO: I appreciate that, Vincent...  but I think it will depend a lot on the situation at hand...

Host Martes says:
@COM: CTO: Please, are you here to help us?  Can you stop the Malandrans from hurting us?

EO_Leasha says:
::listens to the CTO trying to come up with some good plot to get the CEO to like her enough not to keep sending her to the bridge::

FCO-Exeter says:
::looks at the CTO::  CTO: Suggest you get the CO, command decision that!

TO_K`Nargh says:
COM: Martes: Well we cannot use full force so I don’t know if we can do much....::says in a sarcastic tone::

Host CO_Black says:
*CNS*: We're on our way, Counsellor...

CTO_Mesme says:
COM: Martes: We will lend what assistance we can, could you tell us why they are attacking you?

Host Martes says:
@::squints a little, trying to understand::  TO: What was that....?

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: Appears we're needed sir. Thank you for listening...er..Brian... ::tries to smile, but fails::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
COM: Martes: Do you have any idea why they are attacking you?

CMO_Varesh says:
::reads more about the medical aspects of the locals and the Federation personnel situated on the planet::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::in a louder tone::  COM: Martes: We cannot use full force so I DONT KNOW if we can do much at all....

Host Martes says:
@::shakes his head::  COM: CNS: No.  They just started out of nothing.

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Out...now!

FCO-Exeter says:
TO: I'm putting you under arrest, Ensign!

Host Martes says:
@COM: CTO: You can't use force?  ::looks at Mesme questioningly::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I’m just telling it like it is that’s what the Admiral said…

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::puts in hyposprays of trianline and a Neuro-Sequencer and closes up the medical kit:: CMO: Ok. Sir, your all set to go...  I'll brief another officer of the situation of the sickbay patients in case I'm to tag along...

TO_K`Nargh says:
@COM: WE cannot use FULL force so stop the attackers

Host CO_Black says:
XO: Not a problem...  ::heads out of the readyroom and onto the bridge::  CTO: Report, Lieutenant...

CMO_Varesh says:
::looks up::  MO: Great, thanks Jau.

CTO_Mesme says:
COM: Martes: My colleague here is confused, we have been asked to try and resolve the situation peacefully…

XO_Mortimer says:
::follows the CO, hearing a booming Klingon voice in the distance, and worries::

EO_Leasha says:
::leans on her consol watching the SO and the CTO then sees the CO walk in::  Self: This is command experience I guess…

TO_K`Nargh says:
::walks out as the CO enters::  All: This is pathetic  ::growls and leaves the bridge::

Host Martes says:
@COM: CTO: Peacefully?  They're KILLING us!

SO_Lessing says:
::Concerned with the TO's behaviour::

CTO_Mesme says:
CO: This is Martes, he is concerned what all the recent attacks... ::steps back::

TO_K`Nargh says:
::pops his head back in::  COM: Martes: Exactly what I told them but they just yelled at me

FCO-Exeter says:
CTO: I want that man under arrest, for insubordination and disobeying orders ::points at the TO's direction::

EO_Leasha says:
::hears the TO and just looks::

Host CO_Black says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: Commander, you handle our TO while I talk to Mr. Martes... ::nods as he turns to the man on the screen::  COM: Martes: Greetings, I'm Commander Brian Black, Captain of the USS Scimitar...

CTO_Mesme says:
FCO: I will deal with it... ::hangs head:: CO: If you will excuse me sir, I have some...trouble to attend with

Host Martes says:
@COM: CO: Greetings, Captain.  I'm Guillermo Martes.  I'm speaking on behalf of our colony at the moment.  Are you here to help us?

TO_K`Nargh says:
::storms to the TL::

XO_Mortimer says:
TO: Mr. K'nargh, confine yourself to quarters. We'll deal with this at a less critical time.

FCO-Exeter says:
::whispers::  CTO: I like the kid, so be easy with him ::grins::

TO_K`Nargh says:
XO: Already there sir ::growls:: these people are dying and your just watching them

Host CO_Black says:
::gives Martes a polite nod::  COM: Martes: We are indeed here to assess the situation at hand, can you describe the situation for us down there...?

TO_K`Nargh says:
::enters TL ::TL: My room please

CTO_Mesme says:
::paces himself into the TL after the TO and makes sure the doors and closed before uttering a word::  TO: Are you trying to get yourself in trouble?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
FCO: Maybe do a scan of the colony.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: No sir, I’m trying to save these people

EO_Leasha says:
::watches the TO suddenly realising this is how you get of the bridge but doesn't say anything for a change::

CIV_Croft says:
::looks at the viewscreen with disdain::

Host Martes says:
@::composes himself::  COM: CO: Well, there's a lot of frightened people down here, Captain.  Joseph's out with a lot of them now, trying to persuade them to stay with us.

TO_K`Nargh says:
::exits off TL without looking back at the CTO::

FCO-Exeter says:
CNS: Aye, Scanning Colony ::starts scan of Colony::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Really, and how will filling them with even more fear and undermine your superiors help them?

Host CO_Black says:
::nods once again::  COM: Martes: And I assume Joseph is the leader of your colony...?

TO_K`Nargh says:
::Growls as the CTO says this and storms into his room closing the door behind him::

CMO_Varesh says:
MO: I wonder if we're here already? ::taps a few controls and checks:: I suppose they're getting  set up there...

Host Martes says:
@::nods furiously::  COM: CO: Yes.  He's saved us from most of it.

SO_Lessing says:
::begins an intensive scan of the area around the colony::

CTO_Mesme says:
::follows the TO to his room and presses the door open button::

FCO-Exeter says:
CNS: Nothing of Interest on the Planet, counsellor ::looks at his Console::  CO: Incoming hail, again!!

TO_K`Nargh says:
::paces around his room::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I do not want to be bothered, sir ::says in an angry tone::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
Self: here we go again.

EO_Leasha says:
::wonders if she should volunteer to slave tac and giggles to herself::

TO_K`Nargh says:
*XO: How long will I be confined to my room sir

FCO-Exeter says:
CO: It's from the Malandrans, I’m putting it on speakers, sir ::puts the Malandrans on speakers::

EO_Leasha says:
*CEO*: Leahsa to Dupont

CTO_Mesme says:
::punches in his security override and opens the door, he steps inside::  TO: I’m not finished yet

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: You never know Sir... a little more action a little less conversation is what we need around here...

Host CO_Black says:
COM: Martes: Good to hear that, Mr Martes...  could you give an indication as to when these attacks began...  ::nods at the FCO's comment::  FCO: Transfer it to the obs lounge..  XO: Commander, take the obs lounge and talk to the natives... ::turns to the viewscreen again::

XO_Mortimer says:
*TO*: I'll leave that to your superior. I believe he was in the best position to observe your actions.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I do not want to be bothered sir.....I know what you have to say I heard it before

TO_K`Nargh says:
*XO: Alright sir

Host Martes says:
@COM: CO: About 6 weeks ago.  To start with, it was nothing more than name-calling from hidden places.  We thought it might be children.  Then people started getting hurt.

CMO_Varesh says:
MO: If you've been on the missions I have, you wish for the quiet times.

FCO-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, moved too Observation lounge, right now! ::transfers the Comm.::

EO_Leasha says:
::sighs waiting on the CEO::

CTO_Mesme says:
::closes the door behind him::  TO: Oh you do, do you?  I didn’t know you were telepathic…

CEO_DuPont says:
::Dreaming::  *EO*: Yes Karla....

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: Counsellor, I think I could use you on this. I'd like to find out what the motivation behind these attacks is.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I’m not telepathic I heard it from the CO when I was the SO aboard this ship I also heard it from my Klingon superior at the war academy…

EO_Leasha says:
*CEO*: errr ... Sir ... Just how much command experience did you want me to have ?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Smiles:: XO: I was just thinking about doing that. I would like to know too.

Host CO_Black says:
COM: Martes: I see, did the native population contact you in anyway about these incidents..?

XO_Mortimer says:
CO: Sir.. if I may, I think the talks might go easier if they are in familiar surroundings. I wouldn't want to give them the impression we're trying to intimidate them.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: You guys are going to go down there and watch there innocent people DIE trying to stop this peacefully

Host Martes says:
@COM: CO: Not until we contacted them.  They still maintain that they've nothing to do with it.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Gets up and heads to the observation lounge::

CEO_DuPont says:
::Sighs::  *EO*: Your excused from bridge duty when your replacement arrives, when he does report to me immediately, DuPont out

CTO_Mesme says:
::sits himself down in a chair::  TO: And what makes you think that?  I have no intention of letting anyone die

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: I can just about imagine Sir...   but when all you do all day is sit about in Sickbay..... you look forward to some time to get down there and help the people....

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: One moment please, Counsellor...

Host CO_Black says:
XO: I agree with you on that one Commander, assemble a small away team to beam down and speak to the natives, be careful..

CMO_Varesh says:
::nods::  MO: True, but back then I wasn't the doctor, I was the counsellor... different kind of action.

EO_Leasha says:
::smiles as she’s waits for her replacement to arrive and hums happily to herself ::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Really......how do you intend to save these people peacefully when there getting murdered you intend to go in there and stun every single Malandran.....no you wont, you need to go in there with force to stop these attacks

EO_Leasha says:
::sees her and heads out of the bridge down the TL and slowly walks to ME ::

XO_Mortimer says:
*MO* Mr. Hixxan, report to transporter room two, please.  

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: Counsellor, with me. Lets pay these people a visit.

Host Martes says:
@COM: CO: Captain, you must at least provide us with medical and structural assistance.  We have people who are sick, and some of our buildings are falling.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I know I wont be allowed to go on the AT but when you go down there you will see innocent people get killed down there and WHY? because you wont provide enough help

CTO_Mesme says:
::chuckles at the TO's comments::  TO: And get a lot more "innocent" people killed in the progress, there are always other ways to solve problems Ensign, I hope in time you will see that

CMO_Varesh says:
::hears the COM:: MO: Seems you get your change. Be careful.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::nods his head and heads for the turbolift::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: To a klingon there is no other way.....::turns away from the CTO::

XO_Mortimer says:
::enters the TL with the CNS::

EO_Leasha says:
::Slowly walks in the ME and looks for the CEO to see what mood he’s in before she reports to him::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: If you are quiet through judging me, I am prepared to take you on an AT if the CO will trust me, but on ONE condition

MO_Hixxan_ says:
CMO: Well, at any rate , we'll find how I fare out... thank you Sir  ::heads for transporter room::

XO_Mortimer says:
::waits for the CNS before saying:: TL: Transporter room two.

Host CO_Black says:
COM: Martes: Of course, I will send down supplies and supporting teams....

MO_Hixxan_ says:
*XO* Understood. Hixxan Out

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: No one wants me aboard here anyways so why does it matter, just cause I want to help some race.....::sits down on his bed::

CMO_Varesh says:
::smiles as Hixxan leaves and goes to the main area of sickbay to check on the patients::

FCO-Exeter says:
CO: Suggest we send two away teams.

Host CO_Black says:
COM: Martes: And if possible, I would like to speak to your leader, Joseph... uhm.. what's his surname...?

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: Any ideas in advance as to why this is happening?

EO_Leasha says:
::Gingerly walks up to the CEO and snaps out happily:: CEO: you wanted me to report to you Sir

Host Martes says:
@COM: CO: Hearon.  Joseph Hearon.  He's saved us so far, Captain.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::thinks about what he sensed before the hails::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: You know a real klingon wouldn’t just give up like this

CEO_DuPont says:
::Spots the EO and hands her a padd::  EO: Type 6 shuttle, the Xiu situated in the main shuttle bay needs some work on its thrusters

Host CO_Black says:
COM: Martes: Very well, I will see you on the surface... Black out.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
XO: I'm not sure. I sensed some confusion and then happiness on the planet before.

EO_Leasha says:
::smiles all happy now::  CEO: I’m gone Sir ... and thanks ::goes to grab her tool box::

FCO-Exeter says:
:;raises a eyebrow as he hears the name of there leader::  Self: I know that name, it sounds familiar. 

Host CO_Black says:
FCO: Indeed... you're with me, Lieutenant...

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Who says I’m giving up, I’m just saying there is no use for me to go on any AT, no one trusts me, no one respects me no one cares much about me....its been like that most my life and I handled it, and I can handle it now

XO_Mortimer says:
CNS: Happiness? 

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::enters transporter room two, smiles at technician at controls and awaits others::

FCO-Exeter says:
CO: Brian, Hearon, Joseph. Think I know him, his name sounds familiar

CNS_tr`Loris says:
XO: Most everyone is content from what I can sense. along with the confusion.

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: How do you expect them to trust you...?  You need to "listen".  Although i can see that is something you are having a problem with

XO_Mortimer says:
::takes a deep breath as the TL comes to a halt outside the transporter room::

Host CO_Black says:
*CEO*: Chief, assemble an engineering team in transporter room 1 with necessary equipment... I will meet you there...

Host CO_Black says:
*CMO*: Doctor, assemble an medical team and convene in transporter room 1, I will meet you there as well...

EO_Leasha says:
::checks her tool box to see if her lucky spanner is there::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Hhmm you are right......

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::steps out and heads for the transporter room::

CMO_Varesh says:
::walks among the still forms on the biobeds and checks their vitals::  *CO*: Aye, sir.

CEO_DuPont says:
::Watches the EO disappear and almost smiles as he hears the comm from the CO::  *CO* Sir could I recommend one of my capable assistants for an away mission?

XO_Mortimer says:
::steps into the TL, nodding to the MO::  CNS/MO Type I phasers only, keep them concealed. I don't want to alarm anyone down there, but regulations would dictate we be prepared to defend ourselves if necessary.

TO_K`Nargh says:
::looks ashamed for what he did earlier today::

Host CO_Black says:
*SO*: Black to Lessing, report to transporter room 1 for away team duties...

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: Now if you will stop this foolishness I will see if I can get you out of this mess

FCO-Exeter says:
CIV: Could you do a  check on a Joseph Hearon, please??

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I don't know why you are doing this sir.....

Host CO_Black says:
::gestures towards the TL for the FCO::  FCO: Sorry John, do you know this Joseph ? ::walks towards the TL::

SO_Lessing says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.  ::gathers tricorders and so forth::

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::nods his head, hiding his phaser and stepping onto the transporter padd::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: I’m doing this because I think you could be a fine officer one day, I just don’t want to see you lose it all now…

XO_Mortimer says:
::steps onto the pad:: 

FCO-Exeter says:
CO: His name sounds Familiar strangely familiar, asked Croft to do a check on him. 

SO_Lessing says:
::heads to Transporter Room One via the Turbolift::

CIV_Croft says:
FCO: It'll take some time, I'll let you know once you've beamed down.

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::takes type 1 phaser::  XO: thanks Sir, but I got a spare in the Med Kit... I taught from the CMO's tone of voice it wouldn't be a bad idea ::steps onto TL::

CMO_Varesh says:
::walks into his office and calls the teams he prepared for situations for this:: *Team Zeta*: Report to transporter room one for transport to the surface. ::takes his medkit and walks out to the TL::

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Thank you sir, I will try to refrain myself from such behaviour un the future

Host CO_Black says:
*CEO*: Negative, I need you down there, Ensign Leasha can supervise your duties while you are on the surface...

CEO_DuPont says:
*CO*: Aye sir, I'm on my way

FCO-Exeter says:
CIV: Thanks, Don't trust it, but usually my past isn't trustworthy ::smiles::

XO_Mortimer says:
MO: Good thinking.

XO_Mortimer says:
Transporter Operator: Three to beam down.

TO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: well I guess you must be going on AT soon, thanks for the talk really needed it

CMO_Varesh says:
::after a short ride in the TL he exits on the correct deck and walks to the transporter room::

CTO_Mesme says:
TO: No you will refrain, or next time I will have you in the brig  ::stands::  now wait here ::exits the room and as the doors close re lets out a big sigh::

Host CO_Black says:
::enters the TL::  FCO: Good...let him send the info down once he gets it...

CEO_DuPont says:
::Grabs a tool kit and heads up to the transporter room::

Host Martes says:
ACTION: AT1 beams down to the Malandran sector.

MO_Hixxan_ says:
::stands straight .. and is glad that transporting fatalities are 1 in 30 million::

FCO-Exeter says:
::follows the CO deep in thought::  CO: I don't trust, some things telling me it ain't right…

Host CO_Black says:
*CTO*: Black to Mesme, Lieutenant, both Commander Mortimer and myself are beaming down to the surface... you'll be in command of the Scimitar, keep in contact with us at all times... and get to the bridge.. that's an order.. ::grins:: and oh...  bring Ensign K'Nargh with you as well...

CIV_Croft says:
::nods at the FCO::
