<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Stands there, watching the resistance fighters.::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::stands at guard, eyeing the group::
General Hislap says:
@ACO:  We can talk now.  We know you aren't influenced by the drug.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::Looking over the schematics of some of the shuttles and fighters::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Looks at the general, hoping he can get some answers::
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::nods to thank the General.:: Hislap: What drug is this you are talking about?

@ACTION:  One of the Regars walks in.  The Regar looks an awful lot like a Cardassian.

TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::looks at the newcomer::
General Hislap says:
@ACO:  The drug the OMAN use to control those they conquer.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@:Raises an eyebrow as he sees the resemblance and wonders if it's a crossbreed or just surgery or something like that::
General Hislap says:
@ACO:  We Aquans are immune to it.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@:tilts his head with a puzzled look.:: Hislap: Oman, drug... hang on here... what is this drug, where does it come from...
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: There seems to be a lot you Aquans possess that gives you superiority over these...Oman, so why hide here...like a fish under a rock?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::looks into the possibility of equipping a type 7 shuttle with force field emitters capable of containing water in the personnel area::
Denor says:
@: walks over and fills the glasses of those at the table and leaves ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@:Takes his glass and smells to see if he can tell what it is:: Hislap: Is that a real Cardassian?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::frowns at the display, downloads it to a PADD and heads for the shuttle bay::
General Hislap says:
@:: looks at the CSO :: CSO:  A what?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: That man that just left. He looks a lot like a people we know as Cardassians. We saw a few of them... floating in some sort of stasis fields into this region
General Hislap says:
@TO:  We are basically a peaceful people.  We just prefer to be left alone and help those who need the help.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::has a smug look on his face:: General: What about those people out there now? They need help, or is that...too inconvenient?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::stands from the centre chair on the bridge and nods at OPS to relay his call to the ACO's COM badge::  *ACO*: Jarot to Abmeraz, what's your status, Sir..?
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  He is a Regar.  They are the people that the OMAN use to power their biological power systems.  You say that you have creatures like him where you come from?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Looks at the ACO to see if he will make the TO pipe down a bit. There is straight forward and there is rude::
General Hislap says:
@ TO: If we could leave our planet, we would.  We can not.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Yes we do, and from what I gather it seems like they are using the Cardassians as a supplement or replacement
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: And why is that?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay::
General Hislap says:
@ TO: We can not survive off of the surface of our planet.  We would die within moments.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::takes a few paces back as the CSO and TO are talking to the General.:: *CTO*: All seems fine down here commander. We are currently getting some information from the Aquans. They might even be willing to help us in some way.
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  Now I understand why they have gone to your world.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: Interesting...what about the other races you have here in this coalition of yours? Are they not a part of the fight? I assume they can fight with your technology?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods as he hears the ACO's comment::  *ACO*: Aye, Sir...  that sounds good indeed...  I'll be keeping your seat warm till you get back...  ::grins::  good luck... Jarot out.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Grunts:: Self: As long as he doesn't spill coffee or cookie crumbs on it... ::Walks back to the General and tries to pick up on the conversation again.::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::steps out of the TL onto the bridge::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: General, Are there active initiatives at the moment that we could help you with?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CTO*: Commander, I'm going to be taking a class 7 shuttle for a spin shortly, see if I can grab some of that water.
General Hislap says:
@ TO: They could indeed use our technology, if it could be taken off the planet.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: Okay...tell me more about your technology and weapons and let me see what we can do.
General Hislap says:
@ TO: There is a delicate balance on this planet.  If even one element is removed, all the others collapse.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::reading a report on the tactical readiness status as he hears the COM::  *ACEO*: Negative, Ensign... Commander Abmeraz was very clear about not getting into trouble.... and the situation you are described is bound to attract attention and might just cause the earlier mentioned... which I want to avoid... I'm sorry, Ensign.
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  You would do better to talk to the Resistance Leader for that.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: Okay, what about your own developed technology? your ships, your men are carrying weapons, what can they do? How do they work against the Oman?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: Commander, I see that we are quite short handed
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::wanders through the room a bit.:: Hislap: General, could I speak with someone of you medical staff please? I just had an idea about that drug you mentioned earlier. I need some details.
General Hislap says:
@TO: Our weaponry only work on the planet.  And what it would do to the OMAN is vaporize them when they have attempted to come here.  They have only ever seen us out in the water, we never let them close to the cities.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CTO*: Well I don't know how I'm going to grab some water without getting up there... I'll see if I can transport some to where I need it.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: How many are there of the Legion? Is that ship up there the only one?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns to the CIV and nods::  CIV: Indeed... we have half of the senior staff on a first contact camp trip, the other half seems to be off duty and oh yes... we have a missing Captain.... all in all, I think we could use an influx of senior officers....  ::smiles faintly::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: So all we need is to draw them closer to this planet.
General Hislap says:
@ ACO:  Certainly.  :: calls on of the medics ::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::taps his COM badge again::  *ACEO*: Sounds like an idea, Ensign... good luck... Jarot out.
General Hislap says:
@ TO:  We do not want them here.  Why would you do that?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: Indeed, although it looks very much as though you have everything in hand here. What is Ensign Strauss asking about?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: To destroy them General..
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  No, it is not the only ship they have.  They have many, many more.
General Hislap says:
@ TO:  Aren't your friends on that ship?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Patiently waits for one of the medics to arrive.::
Medic says:
@ :: approaches the ACO :: ACO:  How may I help you?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: They are, I was hoping your weapons could at least damage their ship. After our friends are out, these Oman need to be destroyed, you said it yourself, they are praying on the galaxy.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::Attempts to lock a transporter on to the "water" and set the beam to a width to collect exactly the right amount::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: What is their command structure and how are commands issued? subspace radio?
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  The Resistance fighters can tell you more about that.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Turns around, somewhat startled.:: Medic: Ah yes. General Hislap over there ::motions a little dismissively:: mentioned something about a drug the Among... Legion, what ever they are, use to drug... victims, if I may call them that, to do their handy work or something else. Do you have the information on that drug?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Hislap: Could you introduce me?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CIV: Ensign Strauss suggested we take a shuttle to take a closer look at the shield keeping the water back and extracting a portion of the water for further study.
General Hislap says:
@ CSO:  Of course.  ::Motions for a man sitting at the end of the table::
Medic says:
@ ACO:  Yes, we have some information.  Some of the refugees who have come here had to be detoxified.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::Nods to the general, then walks to the end of the table and introduces himself to the leader of the resistance fighters:: 
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: And we have standing orders to maintain position? I think it makes sense not to take a shuttle into that water. While the ship came through a smaller vessel might encounter unexpected difficulties. Have we had any luck with the transporters?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: So what you're saying is that you are powerless to actually go out and help, you just sit here by and run this little underground operation instead of actually resisting those monsters?
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: Heads towards the city hall, med kit in hand ::
Enok says:
@ :: Stands as the CSO approaches :: CSO:  I am Enok.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Frowns.:: Medic: It's toxic? Hmm... anyway, if we could have a sample or two, or a file... I would most certainly be very thankful.
General Hislap says:
@ TO: If we were able to, we would, but, we can not.
Medic says:
@ ACO:  Certainly.  I will get the information for you.  One moment please.  :: leaves to get the info ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: They call me Jonathan. The general said you could tell me more about the Legion
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CIV: Correct...we have no way to predict that it would do to the shuttle and what it would do to the talks that Commander Abmeraz is participating in right now....  as for the transporters, Ensign Strauss was moving towards that option now... we should hear from him within the hour with an update...
Enok says:
@ CSO:  I can tell you they are a menace.  They take what doesn't belong to them and they make slaves of everyone.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: There is always a way, General. I thought you were a warrior, not a pencil pusher...we wear the uniform to fight, not sit by and watch.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: How do they issue orders?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
::gets a little closer to the others and listens to their conversation.::
Enok says:
@ CSO:  They use a communications grid.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Are there plans to destroy that grid? 
General Hislap says:
@ TO:  I have been in more battles than I care to count, but they have all taken place here, on this world.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::manages to fill a force field bubble within the shuttle with some of the water and gets to work on connecting a remote transceiver to the helm controls::
Enok says:
@ CSO:  There are, but, we haven't been able to penetrate their base.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@General: Well, one day maybe you can call yourself a real fighter and take the offensive.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: Noted. Well, in the absence of any need for me here if you'll excuse me I might take the opportunity to spend some time on the holodeck
Medic says:
@ :: comes back with the requested information :; ACO:  This is all we have.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: What base? 
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Accepts the information from the Medic and looks at it.:: Medic: That will be more than enough, thank you very much.
General Hislap says:
@ TO:  One does what one can do.  If I could leave this place and go out there into space as you do, I would.
Medic says:
@ ACO:  You are most welcome.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::just nods condescendingly:: General: Of course.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CIV: By all means... by the way... how did your session with the CMO go...?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CTO*: Commander, I've managed to get some water without incident, I'm taking some more scans at the moment, I'll keep you informed.
Enok says:
@ CSO:  On their home world.  The same place the accursed drug comes from.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Do you know of a way to get aboard one of their ships?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::walks away from the General and heads over to the ACO::
Enok says:
@ :: laughs :: CSO:  That's simple enough, just get in front of one and refuse to present your papers.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Starts walking in no apparent direction, looking closely at the items in his hands.::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@::smiles:: Enok: I was kind of meaning.. unnoticed
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: I'm not sure what the results were. Most of those who sensed inside the Legion vessel were telepathic. As you know I'm a Trill and certainly not a telepath. But somehow my symbiont managed to sense what was inside the ship and I picked up on that. Very disorienting.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@TO: YIPE!!! ::Nearly drops the vial and the other items.:: Don't ever... EVER do that again lieutenant. You could get killed doing something like that.
Enok says:
@ :; shakes his head :; CSO:  Not that we know of.  The other way to get on their ship is to have a Regar on your ship.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CIV: I can imagine... where the images you received erratic or could you make up some sections of their ship?
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Sure, anyway. The General is useless to us. ::whispers so the Aquans don't hear::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: We better just deal with the resistance directly.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: What can a Regar do?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::double checks his scans:: *CTO*: I'm not entirely comfortable keeping this stuff on the ship since it's highly volatile, but, orders are orders, you might want to seal it off once I'm clear.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: I picked up images, but as the vessel is unfamiliar I couldn't make much sense of what I saw
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Frowns.:: TO: Useless? What makes you think that?
Enok says:
 @ :; shakes his head :; CSO: A Regar is what powers their biological power systems.  They have driven them to near extinction.  We have been trying to help relocate them.  Without their power source, they would be helpless.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: And the Legion can sense a Regal?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
*ACEO*: Understood, Ensign.... but the safety of this ship is paramount above all else... if you need to beam it out... then do so immediately...
Enok says:
@CSO:  Their telepaths can and their equipment can more definitely pick one out of any crowd.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: They can't leave this planet, their weapons only work from here, and they refuse to bring the Oman closer to fight them. All in all, they won't help us.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Do their ships have any weak spots? choke points?
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CTO*: It's safely contained for now, just need to make sure the field emitters have an ample power supply.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: Oh well... we might benefit from your experiences down the road...  ::smiles::  could you take a look at what the ACEO's doing down there.... a bit supervision from a tactical specialist would not harm his efforts I think...
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@TO: Have you also asked them why they choose to do this? Maybe because they are safe down here, they don't have to, or want to.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: You could be right, I'd hate for him to break anything, or himself!
Enok says:
@ :: shakes his head again :: CSO: We have not been able to find any yet.  But, we are working on it.  We continue to resist, and it isn't easy.
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Sir, I just told you. They can't, something about them dying.
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@::sighs:: TO: What can we do to help them? Have you learned anything from their weaponry?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Could you send us any information you have on the Legion, their material, weapons, physiology, social structure.. anything that can help us. I'm confident that our combined efforts will at least shed some light on this matter
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::grins::  CIV: Right... let me know if we need to evacuate the ship because of his experiment....  ::smiles::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Not willing to share much on that part, only that it seems to be a part of this planet's ecosystem, only works here.
Enok says:
@ CSO:  That is what we are hoping for.  Also, there are some very powerful telepaths here that may be of use as well.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CTO: Get the escape pods ready
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@TO: Perhaps if we knew what how or when, we could project it in space, making the Legion ship think they devised a way to get their weapon safely in to space. We could use the deflector dish to project it. I heard it has been tried before.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Do you know if the Legion can be influenced by telepaths? Maybe we can use a telepath to steer their actions. Or at least hide our own
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
*ACEO*: I'm putting the tactical teams around your section on alert status... we should be able to intervene if necessary....  I've also sent Commander Esjam down to you to assist...  Jarot out.  ::gives the CIV a thumbs up:::
TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@ACO: Well it's an idea I guess.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::grins at the CTO and heads for the TL::
Enok says:
@ CSO: It would be worth a try.  Perhaps with your telepaths and the telepaths here, we can come up with a solution.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*CTO*: Thanks, it shouldn't come to that but any contingency plan is better than none.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
@Enok: Could you also send us some information on your own weapons? Maybe we can find a way to modify them so they can be used in space as well instead of just this planet?
ACO Cmdr Abmeraz says:
@TO: Alright. ::hands the TO the items.:: I don't want you to think I need you to run errands for me, but please take this to the doc and have her analyse it. I will have another talk with our General. ::Starts to walk away.:: And oh... Probie? Good work so far.
Enok says:
@ CSO: I'm sure we can do that.

TO LtJG Adalberto says:
@::looks at his hands, then up at the ACO:: ACO: Sure thing...Boss. ::grins::
