OPS Lt Idrani says:
::at OPS on the bridge::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Waits for the TO to give them the go ahead, that all is 'clear':::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::sat at the engineering console on the bridge::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::meets up with the Tactical team as they flank the hallway::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::somewhere in Sickbay restrained onto a bio bed::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::moves down the hall and checks the airlock, then motions for the Commanders to come closer::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CSO*: Did you manage to get any scans of that water we passed through on the way in?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Waits patiently as he contacts the science department to see if something interesting came up::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::slaves science to OPS::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::on the bridge, standing on the command circle he watches the view screen that displays the port where the Scimitar has docked::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*ACEO*: Last I know the scan was still running, let me check
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::pressurizes the airlock and steps in first::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::looks out the view port::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts passively scanning the area::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CSO*: Standing by Commander.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::moves closer.:: TO: Well??
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::puts his fist up, signalling him to wait::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at OPS::  OPS: Lieutenant, be sure to keep an open COM link to the away team at all times and also be sure to track their progress as they go along... I'd like to identify any problems that might arise before hand...
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::Starts looking bored, but whispers.:: TO: Can you PLEASE get a move on? We haven't got the whole day you know.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CTO: Naturally
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::doesn't see any armed troops and opens the hatch::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*ACEO*: The water isn't your average stuff. We are unable to identify the property that causes it to go boom
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::keeps his hand on his phaser holster::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks a COM link with the AT and brings up their stats on his console::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::moves closer once more and looks for the CSO to follow him.::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CSO*: Fair enough Commander, I'll need to look at the scan data to see if we can simply pass through it again same as last time.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::steps out of the airlock::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*ACEO*: I don't see any problem with that;. It only explodes in space, so I guess it has something to do with the lack of atmosphere that reacts with a component in the water, causing it to expand
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS: Thanks..   ::paces across the command circle::  *ACO*: Jarot to Abmeraz, We'll be monitoring your progress, Sir..  did the CMO tell you anything about when the FCO would be ready for duty again?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::follows the TO out of the airlock.::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
::motions for the Tac team to flank the Commanders::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Walks last in line, checking his tricorder to see if it's still recording::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CSO*: All received commander, Strauss out.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to map out the area based on scans::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::accesses the scan data taken from the water on the way in::
Aqua says:
@:: taps her foot, waiting on the people from the strange ship ::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Clear, they seem to be waiting for us down there. ::points down a small walkway::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::takes point and starts walking forward, his hand still close to his phaser::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders what kind of payment they'll have to make for stopping by::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@TO: Good, now conceal your weapons... I do not want to give them a wrong impression already. Let's go.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::takes his phaser and tucks it in his pants, behind his back and pulls his uniform jacket over to conceal it::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Hides his phaser and his tricorder::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders what CO MacAllister is up to::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::puts his hand up and motions for the TAC team to stay by the airlock::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Covers his phaser as well and walks down to meet those strange people.::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Ready.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::checks to see if there's anything in the water that would damage the ship on the way out::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::maintains transporter lock on the AT::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::wonders where the CMO did go::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::waits for the ACO to return his COM message and returns to the centre chair to check the recent passive scans of the region to satisfy his curiosity::
Lenny says:
::Walks over to the FCO.:: FCO: Hello there lieutenant.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Lenny: Ah, finally someone around here.
Aqua says:
@ ACO:  Well, you certainly take your time coming to meet us.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@*CTO*: Good to know. No information on the FCO yet, see if you can get Lenny to respond instead. She should be down there. ::sighs:: Abmeraz out.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::stands behind the ACO::
Lenny says:
::Looks at the FCO with a confused look.:: FCO: I'm begging your pardon?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::raises his eyebrow. Well... this is a nice entrance. It seems like the aquans don't fear a confrontation::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Lenny: Well, I'm restrained to a bio bed and then there was no-one here to un-restrain me. That's quite irritating.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the ACO's response::  *Sickbay*: Jarot to sickbay, please respond...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::continues analysing the data but not really much to go on::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: And your men? Do they have weapons? May we scan them and you?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
Self: Hmmmmm... ::checks the scans again::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Bows slightly:: Aqua: I'm truly sorry. It is just that this place is new to us and... ::Pauses as the General interrupts him.:: Hislap: You have my word we will not use our weapons, sir. They are standard issue equipment when we leave the ship.
General Hislap says:
@:: looks the TO up and down :; TO:  We are the peace keepers here, of course we have weapons, and you may scan whatever you want, but, you can't have the weapons in the city.
Lenny says:
::sighs:: *CTO*: Lenny here, go ahead commander.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@ACO: Maybe we should leave the weapons in the ship then sir
General Hislap says:
@ Aqua:  I told you we should just send them on their way.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::goes over the latest rosters, inputting them into LCARS::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Tries to nod towards the CSO to scan the General and Aqua for weapons as well.:: Hislap: We will leave our weapons with one of our officers here.
General Hislap says:
@ ACO:  They will be returned to you when you leave.  You have my word.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::looks annoyed::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
CTO: Commander, I'd like to get a closer look at that water type shield thingy up there.
General Hislap says:
@ ACO:  That is acceptable.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Takes his tricorder and scans the people openly::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Turns to face the TO:: TO: Have one of your men near the airlock to gather our weapons and wait for us here.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::decides he could take that General in a fair fight anyway, then takes his phaser out, deactivates it and motions for the ACO and CSO to hand him theirs::
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  You will find that those here that are peace keepers have weapons.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Hands his phaser to the TO.::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: I'm only partly interested in weapons general. I'm a scientist, not a cowboy
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::gestures the ACEO to wait for a moment::  *Lenny*: Just one question, Lenny... when will be the FCO fit for duty..?
Aqua says:
@ Hislap:  They are more reasonable than I thought.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::fidgets and wonders whether to play his console like the FCO does::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns to the ACEO::  ACEO: You'd like to take a closer look at what?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::hands the phasers to a TAC officer::
Lenny says:
::Looks at the FCO and for a moment a little evil grin appears on her face. Fortunately for the FCO it disappears quickly again.:: *CTO*: I believe he might be. I'll check him one more time and send him on up.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Scans his surroundings and tries to find out what's keeping the water away::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts randomly playing notes on his console::
Aqua says:
@ ACO: Once you've divested yourselves of your weapons, this way please.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
*Lenny*: Many thanks, Lenny... we need a capable pilot if the situation warrants it... Jarot out.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: I don't like medical personnel smiling to me while I'm restrained.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
CTO: That water, shield thing that we passed through to get here... Mr Abmeraz wants me to find out if it'll stop us from leaving or damage the ship if we try to leave.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::changes the pitch of his console::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::walks forward, to be situated between the General and ACO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: General, might I ask how the force field is maintained that keeps the water out. The scans are... intruiging
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts humming a tune and tries to match it on the console::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Follows Aqua and tries to start another formal introduction.:: Aqua: Alright. And let's try this again as well, shall we? My name is Abmeraz ::Points to his right, this is our science officer Commander Pierce and ::points to his other side:: this is our tactical officer Lieutenant Adalberto.
Aqua says:
@ ACO: I am Aqua.  :: points to the General :; This is General Hislap.  He is the leader of the Peace Keepers here.
Lenny says:
::Scans the FCO over once more, then releases the restraining clamps.:: FCO: You're 'free' to go lieutenant... Please stay out of trouble.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Lenny: Hey, I wasn't in any kind of trouble before I got to Sickbay. And thank you for un-restraining me.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
ACEO: I see your point, Ensign... you have my permission to take a closer look at it with our sensors... but be sure to channel those scans at only a small portion of the shield... I don't want to arouse suspicion of any sorts... first contact is a delicate issue.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Nods:: Hislap: General. ::Turns his attention towards Aqua again.:: Aqua: Is there anything helpful you can tell us about this Legion ship?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::plays the tune again trying to get the notes right::
Lenny says:
FCO: My pleasure. And I didn't say you were IN trouble, I just asked you to stay OUT of it. ::winks.:: Now go up. The CTO wants you up there.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::agitatedly exits Sickbay and heads for the Bridge::

ACTION:  OPS gets a slight jolt of electricity from the console.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks AT status and carries on playing away getting frustrated::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
TL: Bridge!
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Aye sir. ::concentrates a portion of the long range sensor array on the water above::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::makes sure to notice his surroundings, in case they need to get out of here::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::punches his console but not hard enough to damage it:: Console: Stupid...::mutters::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Damn thing, move!
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::hears a thump:: OPS: Hey... easy on the consoles matey, they're not cheap.
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  Our scientist devised it to help conceal us from unwanted visitors.  I am not certain how it functions.  You would have to ask one of the scientists.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::exits the TL on the bridge::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
ACEO: Could've fooled me
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@ACO: Sir, they've got gills and yet they can breath. Hislap: I would like that. To be honest, I have many questions. A new species is always enormously interesting and there's always too little time to get to know each other
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
OPS: What on earth are you trying to make it do?
Aqua says:
@ ACO: That information will be forthcoming.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
ACEO: Nothing it shouldn't have been able to handle.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to his comfortable 180 degree console relieving Bubblin' Water and logs in::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances over at OPS::  OPS: Everything all right there, Lieutenant ?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Which reminds me. Does the legion know you are here and can't they reach you? Or can't they find you?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
OPS: Let me guess... it was out of tune?

ACTION:  The console that OPS is sitting at sparks and makes a few loud beeping noises.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
Self: ah not again! ACEO: Get over here!
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
OPS: What did I tell you... ::wombles over to the OPS console:: what did you do.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@Aqua: Is there anything you can tell us about yourself?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notices the engines are running::
Aqua says:
@ ACO: Your crewman scanned us, that should tell you all you need to know.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
ACEO: Like I said, nothing to warrant this. Perhaps you should do your job better.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  OPS: Good... if you get your console back in working order... let me know where the away team is at the moment....
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::and finds out that the engines need to be running to prevent the ship from falling down::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
FCO: Welcome back to the bridge, Lieutenant...
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::decides he doesn't like these people::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Falls back slightly as they walk along and leans over to the CSO and talks is a soft voice.:: CSO: Stiff beings. What else where you able to find out?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns around to the CTO:: CTO: Thank you Sir, I'd rather be here than in that frustrating Sickbay.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::disappears under the console and stops the sparks then brings up the command history:: OPS: You want to run that past me again?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: I can imagine that... be sure to take the ship out of here in a moments notice...
Lenny says:
::Jumps up on a bio bed and lies down. While she lies there, she starts to whistle an old tune.::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CTO: Aye, preparing the systems for departure.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::moves over to a spare console and slaves OPS to it:: ACEO: Just carry on...::sighs:: CTO: No AT status change Sir
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  They know we are here.  They just cannot use us, so they leave us alone.  They have no idea about our city, they have only seen us in the water.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@ACO: I would say they are just to the point. Maybe approaching them openly in conversation would be a good course of action.  I learned that they are capable of living in both water and air. ::hears Hislap:: And that the force field is able to hide them from the Legion, which is remarkable. Using that technology we could get close to the Legion ship. If we could get a large pocket of water close to the legion ship that 
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
OPS: Now you look here boyo... I don't go around repairing consoles on this ship for you lot to go playing tunes on. each console has a job, as long as the user uses it for that job they tend NOT to overload and start sparking, is that clear?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@Hislap: Will you be willing to share some information with us on how to deal with this Legion ship. We certainly would like our ship ::Thinks really hard for a moment.:: and preferably our captain back soon, before they can do any reasonable damage to either of them.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
OPS: Very well.... alert me of any change...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CTO: Aye Sir. ACEO: Watch your tongue! Respect a superior officer, and...just fix it.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@CSO: But that will be hard, since the water will not be able to 'survive' in space. There must be a way to contain it then.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::receives reports of diagnostics:: CTO: Sir, we are ready for departure.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@ ACO: If we can put it in a force field or an empty vessel shielding it from the vacuum of space.. It should be possible. I'd have to do calculations to see how much water we'd need to deal a good blow
General Hislap says:
@ ACO: Your people are lost.  I would say that you should cut your losses and go back where you came from.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
OPS: Watch my tongue? WATCH MY TONGUE? Don't push me Lieutenant smurf or you'll be responsible for a lot more electrical problems. Just lay off the music! ::storms off the bridge before OPS can reply and takes the lift down to engineering::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods again::  FCO: Very well... keep us that way... we do not know what to expect from these aliens...
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::nods::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns to look at OPS and ACEO, then frowns::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::growls and punches the console again but lighter:: Aloud: They get away with murder...
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@ACO: We could use a bit of water to blow open the bay door to get into the ship. We'd have maybe a few remote controlled fighters ready, filled with water to hit them where it hurts
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Nods at the CSO:: CSO: As soon as you can, calculate and get the information to the ACEO. ::Turns his attention back to Hislap.:: Hislap: We do not give up about our crew and ships that easily. We will certainly want to give it a try, but we could use your help... your knowledge of these Legion ships and their occupants.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks to himself the blue lights on the wall are nice::
General Hislap says:
CSO:  Boy, are you talking about attacking a Legion war Ship. ::Thinks these people are more then lost.::

@ACTION:  The away team arrives at the meeting room.

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
OPS: Control yourself, Lieutenant...  I don't want any misconduct on this bridge.... as for you and the ACEO, I suggest you deal with it and resolve it... and I might be persuaded to let this one slide...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CTO: Aye Sir. ::shuts up::
General Hislap says:
ACO/CSO:  We have a resistance group on this planet who can tell you how impossible that is.  ::Enters the room::  They maybe able to instruct you in the art of sneakiness if you like.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: We're talking about rescuing our people, any way possible. And to be honest: I’m starting to really, sincerely dislike the legion. ::hears Hislap:: And that sounds just like what we'd like to hear
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::arrives in ME and punches a wall before swearing loudly::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::nods as well:: Hislap: That would be a good start General.
General Hislap says:
@::Laughs:: CSO:  Everyone dislikes the Legion my friend....They are just too powerful to take on head on.  That is why we've come up with other ways.  If they ever figure out our technology, we are just as vulnerable as everyone else.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Any which way general... any which way. I want to get our people back. And I’m absolutely sure that we can achieve more than that if we work together
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::takes a seat again and continues reviewing the sensor readings::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::accesses the desk console in the CEO's office and has another look at the scan results from the latest scan of the water::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@Hislap: Perhaps we can combine our technology with yours in this struggle. We have managed to engage and escape them before. I am sure we do that again.
General Hislap says:
@ACO/CSO:  It's very possible.  ::Takes a seat and puts his feet up onto the table.::  But I do have this problem.   I don't know you from a watering hole.  How do I know you are not working for the Legion?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::keeps an eye on the AT stats::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Would the Legion come through the water?
General Hislap says:
@CSO:  If they figured out a way to do so yes....if they have drugged some poor race yes....
Aqua says:
@:: leads a few of the resistance fighters into the room ::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@Hislap: you can scan us for drugs of any kind. You will find that we are not influenced by them. We just want out people back,
General Hislap says:
@::Nods at the new arrivals.::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::shrugs:: Hislap: You seem like an intelligent being. You be the judge. Not much we can do to convince you... besides time
General Hislap says:
@ACO:  You will understand if I take you up on that offer Captain.  ::Nods at Aqua to get some medical personnel.::
Aqua says:
@::nods at the General ::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::nods at Hislap, then looks at the new comers.::
General Hislap says:
@CSO:  I do admit my son, you do mouth the right words.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Give us a chance and we will show you we mean what we say
Aqua says:
@:: leaves the room and comes back with medical personnel ::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::looks at the big medical... fishies... and gulps.:: Self: Oh boy... me and my big mouth.
General Hislap says:
@CSO:  Hence our little meeting...We have telepaths who are quite strong....
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::frowns at the scan results:: Self: Hmmm
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Telepaths.. We have telepaths on our ship too. One even was able to see aboard the ship. Although we were unable to find out what caused that

ACTION:  The Medical Aquans begin to test the Scimitar crew for drugs.

General Hislap says:
@CSO:  Maybe after we establish a rapport....we can trade Intel.  Would you be adverse to having your telepaths work with ours?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::nods at the CSO for approval.::
Med Tech says:
@:: hands the results to the General ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Looks at the ACO:: Hislap: I would not, and I’m sure hat our telepaths would cooperate in every possible way
General Hislap says:
@::Takes the results and looks at them hard and for a long moment.::  ACO/CSO:  Gentlemen, I think we can do business...No drugs and your species are not of our galaxy.... ::Drops his feet to the floor.::  Let's talk.
