U.S.S. Luna mission

Ooo Baby, Baby It's a Wild World  Part Two.
Stardate 10108.19

Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  Arriving at the system in sector 19853-122 where an early form of warp propulsion has been identified, the crew of the U.S.S. Luna  discover an extremely dense asteroid field negating anything larger than a Defiant class vessel from passing.

Various members of the crew have devised a plan to safely pass the asteroid belt by modifying both the Main Deflector Array and the Shield Grid.  With all modifications now complete, they are ready to continue if the CO so requests it.

::Heading for medical to have her hand doctored::

XO_West says:
::Finishing up in the Captain's RR, setting her command codes::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hanging out in the lounge chitchatting to various crew::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Computer: What is the maximum warp speed displayed by any vessel besides the Luna in this system.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::sitting at SCI 2 station on the bridge, looking over the probe logs::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Maximum warp speed is 1.08523

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Computer: Please identify the oldest warp signature trace in this system and report its age.

EO_Katira says:
::Enters the quiet medical room, an essence of gloom seems to permeate it.  She shudders as she looks at the dismal face that looks up at her entrance.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::as the crowd thins out feels a bit bored so heads to the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge

EO_Katira says:
::Debates about coming back later::

EO_Katira says:
::As the doctor waves her forward, she says nothing to him other then showing him her hand.::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> The oldest warp signature displayed within this system is approximately 1.241 years old

XO_West says:
::Taps commbadge::  Computer locate EO Katria.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks over at Brehgorn::A year??

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Computer: Is there any evidence of warp signature traces within 100,000 kms of the asteroid belt in the last 1.241 years?

CNS_Luchena says:
::arrives on bridge::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks over at Counselor Luchena and nods::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Affirmative

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns his head slightly at the sound of a surprised tone::  CSO/CEO: Something gentlemen?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods at the CEO:: CEO: Fairly recent discovery.

XO_West says:
::Once the computer replies, she stands and walks out onto the Bridge::

CIV_Katira says:
::As the doctor asks her questions, she says doesn't answer.  He shrugs his shoulders and mends the hand.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Captain, the vessels in this system have the warp capability to reach close to the asteroid belt, and have done so.  Their ships are also small enough to escape the belt.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks back at his screen, allows Brehgorn to fill in the Captain::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Their maximum warp is slightly above 1, and warp signatures show evidence of warp traffic as old as 1.2 years.

CIV_Katira says:
<MO> CIV:  There you go.  I will need your records though to update your file.

XO_West says:
::Walks over to CO::  I will be in SB, if needed sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
::ponders this::  CSO: What have we determined about them from intercepted transmissions?

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods absently to the XO::

CIV_Katira says:
MO:  I believe they are on the way.  ::Turns to leave, but pauses::  Thank you doctor.

XO_West says:
::Nods to the captain and enters the TL::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: So far, we have picked up no transmissions.

XO_West says:
Computer:: SB.

Host CO_Merced says:
::frowns::  CSO: Nothing at all?  Even on the lower bands?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
::notices the Counselor::  CNS: Hello Lieutenant.

CIV_Katira says:
::Exits sickbay and looks around, unsure exactly what she should be doing.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the CO::

CIV_Katira says:
::Heads in the direction of the nearest TL::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: I have a plan that could uncover the sophistication of their sensor arrays without the Luna being discovered, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd in a developing society for no transmissions to be emanating from the planets or ships?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::reading through the probe data, nothing really catching his eyes::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Odd indeed, sir.  Sir, one of the craft has disappeared from sensors.

XO_West says:
::Stepping out of the TL, almost bumping into CIV Katira::

CIV_Katira says:
::Pauses as the TL opens up on a commander::

CIV_Katira says:
::Steps out of her way.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns to the Counselor:  CNS:  I am sorry to ask this of you but could you man OPS for us?

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Disappeared?

XO_West says:
CIV: You are just the crewmen I came to see.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Certainly, Sir.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits at the OPS console::

CIV_Katira says:
::Eyes narrow::  XO:  How is that?

XO_West says:
::Noticing that CIV has not snapped to attention, yet::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: It could be that the ship has entered a blind spot, then again...

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Any idea on where it went?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: I can estimate it's course trajectory, but I'm getting no current readings whatsoever.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::yawns as the data stream continues::

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Commander.  You are familiar with the requirements for contact.  Do the circumstances warrant contacts in your estimation?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::looks at the CEO::

CIV_Katira says:
::Stands tensely, waiting to see what this woman wants of her.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO:  Can you determine whether the ships are native to the system or not?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, the projected trajectory shows that the vessel should be within our sensor range.

XO_West says:
CIV: You are going to be assigned to crew quarters so prepare to move your gear, you are going to be assigned to security duty...

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: Sir it is certainly a chance for first contact, yes sir...I say it is.

CNS_Luchena says:
::locates the co-ordinates for the ships, and cycles through communication frequencies::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Information about this system is limited at best, and we have no preexisting record of these types of  vessels in our databanks.

CIV_Katira says:
XO:  My gear remains unpacked.  Why am I being assigned security?

CNS_Luchena says:
::finds nothing but keeps trying::

XO_West says:
CIV: and you will report To CTO  Duvas for you assignment...

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Mind taking the conn Commander?

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: Aye sir.::stands::

XO_West says:
CIV: I have read your background reports and you will remember... that you are on board a Starship and will conduct yourself accordingly...

CIV_Katira says:
XO:  I will report.  ::Grits her teeth, remembering where she was.::  Where do I find CTO Duvas?

CIV_Katira says:
::Says nothing.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO:  What did the probe record concerning the planets.  Any signs of habitation?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::scans planets, especially the 4th, for signs of inhabitation::

XO_West says:
CIV: there will be no time for personal vendettas...

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Standby, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Prepare to take us in.  CNS: Prepare a standard greeting for transmission.

CIV_Katira says:
::Stands there, still saying nothing, holding in her temper.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::does as ordered::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, 2 more ships have disappeared, 2 ships have appeared, or perhaps reappeared on our sensors.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Probes are too distant to ascertain habitation status.

XO_West says:
CIV: If you desire to practice your Batleth exercises, it will not be done in crew quarters, under stand?

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: Aye Captain.::sits at Flight Control, using the sensors to plot a course through the asteroid field::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::mumbles::Well at least this way if we hit something, I have no one to blame but me...

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, knix that.  Two ships have entered the atmosphere of the 4th planet.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Which would certainly suggest habitation, or at least exploration.

CIV_Katira says:
::Refrains from asking why would she.  Good thing her teeth were Klingon made with the grinding they were going to get.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Take us in, slowly.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Switch to active sensors.

XO_West says:
CIV: you will acquire  holoprogram time after your duty shifts. any questions?

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Bring us up from low emissions running.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::switches to active sensors::

CIV_Katira says:
XO:  No.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::gets the course::CO: Aye sir, ahead at 1/4 impulse.::engages::

XO_West says:
CIV:  Dismissed!

CEO_Jokeg says:
::activates the modifications::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The modifications to the Main Deflector push several asteroids directly in front of the Luna out of the way creating a hole

CNS_Luchena says:
::does as ordered::

CIV_Katira says:
::Steps aside, shaking her head.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::smiles as the asteroids move:: I love when things work.

XO_West says:
::Reenters TL::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Are sensors giving us a better picture now?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::continues at 1/4 impulse, allowing the deflector to move the asteroids::

CIV_Katira says:
::Taps her comm badge:: Computer:  Location of CTO... what's his name.  The chief tactical officer.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Things are getting a bit clearer, and some blind spots have been filled.  Sir, sensors detect an asteroid approaching rapidly on the starboard side!

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> The Chief Tactical Officer is in his quarters

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::puts asteroid on visual::

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Evade.

CIV_Katira says:
::Waiting, she unclenches her fist.  It was a good thing for that woman and probably herself that the hand had just been fixed.  She doubted her father would be happy to find her in the brig.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::activates the tractor beam, reverses it to push the asteroid away, meanwhile steers to evade::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The small asteroid glides gently away from the Luna on a new course

CIV_Katira says:
Computer:  Where are his quarters?

Host CO_Merced says:
::love watching his crew do their jobs::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::sighs in relief::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::goes back to base course, deactivating the tractor beam::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Have sensors found the missing ships?

XO_West says:
::Exits TL and takes seat at station::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::continues to scan the area, filling in blind spots as they are uncovered, and keeping an eye out for anything extraordinary::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Any sign of comm traffic yet?

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Deck 2, Section five beta

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks again::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.  I'll continue to scan.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A large asteroid darts out between two other asteroids glancing the Luna on the Ventral Shield grid knocking her wildly off course

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Apparently not, Sir.

CIV_Katira says:
::Steps into the empty TL::  Computer:  Deck 2 Section five beta.

CNS_Luchena says:
::runs a diagnostic to see if this console is even working::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: We've been hit on the Ventral Shield sir!

CEO_Jokeg says:
::goes to manual, fires RCS thrusters to get her steady::

CEO_Jokeg says:
Self: Ok this was a bad idea....

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Luna begins to stabilize but impacts another asteroid making the power flicker

CEO_Jokeg says:
::cursing::

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Can you bring us to a stop?

CIV_Katira says:
::Throws up her hands against the TL as she shifts suddenly::

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: Working on it...

CNS_Luchena says:
::still thinks they should have just blasted their way through::

XO_West says:
::Looks about as lights flicker::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::continues using RCS and brings them to a stop::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::attempts to stabilize power allocation::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Luna comes to a full stop about halfway through the asteroid field

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::looks around nervously::

CIV_Katira says:
::Steps off the TL as it stops at her designation.  Getting her bearings, he heads for the CTO's quarters, mumbling::  CTO: Odd time for him to be asleep.

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: I think you better get to engineering.

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Damage report?

CEO_Jokeg says:
*ME*: I need a damage report!

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Several EPS conduits have ruptured on various decks

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Adjust phasers to Point Defense.  Take out those roids before they hit us.

CIV_Katira says:
::Activates the chime and stands carefully, not knowing what to expect.::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: Several small asteroids impact the shields but no damage

CEO_Jokeg says:
::gets up, heads to ME::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::brings phasers online in Point Defense mode, and checks sensors for any incoming asteroids::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Shields are holding

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods as the CEO leaves the bridge::  CNS:  Any casualties?

CNS_Luchena says:
::diverts some extra power to the shields just in case::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::cursing all the way down on the TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Some minor injuries on decks 10 and 19, Sir.  Alerting sickbay now.  ::alerts sickbay::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A medium size asteroid begins to approach at a crawl

CIV_Katira says:
<Computer> CIV:  The CTO is occupied.  Security clearance needed to interrupt him?

CNS_Luchena says:
::finds a gap as he's scanning for transmissions and wonders what is causing it::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, a moderate asteroid is approaching slowly.  We could evade the object without destroying it.

CIV_Katira says:
Computer:  What?

CIV_Katira says:
<Computer> CIV:  Rephrase question.

CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Ah, so that's what it is.

CIV_Katira says:
Computer:  Never mind... I think I should look into such a way to keep my privacy.  ::Turns to leave.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::out of curiosity, checks for any traces of vessels in the immediate area surrounding the incoming asteroid::

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods and sits as flight control, using sensors to plot a course based on the computer extrapolation of their courses::  Self: Let's try this again.  ::sets the ship in motion, a weaving course, sometime moving to avoid something that isn't there yet::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::enters ME and starts to direct Damage control teams to the ruptured EPS conduits::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::surprised that the CO took the "steering wheel"::

XO_West says:
::Watches view screen as CO maneuvers course::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Luna begins to pass the halfway mark

Host CO_Merced says:
::focused on the screen and data on the locations, speeds, and directional vectors of the asteroids::

CNS_Luchena says:
::monitors power to the shields::

CIV_Katira says:
::OK... she had followed the commander’s orders.  Now what to do...::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::stands ready at phasers in case they're needed::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Luna makes it through to the interior of the dense asteroid field

CIV_Katira says:
::Heads back to her quarters::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::hopes we can get back out::

XO_West says:
:;Monitors position of warp ships::

Host CO_Merced says:
::inverts the Luna and pulls her into a negative Z loop to avoid the last roid as the screen clears of the rocks finally::  ::sighs relief::

CNS_Luchena says:
::still cycling through various frequencies looking for transmissions::

Host CO_Merced says:
::brings the Luna to stop and logs off the console, standing::  XO: Report.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::having cleared the asteroid field, starts filling in the blind spots of the sensor layout, also scanning for anything unusual::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  I am picking up a faint transmission, but can't make it out.

CIV_Katira says:
::Enters through the quarters.  As the doors close, she sighs a breath of relief.  Too many strangers... ::

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to clear up the signal::

XO_West says:
CO: we made it to the interior, I have detected no warp ships here.

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS:  On screen.

CIV_Katira says:
::Goes over to her limited things.::  Computer:  What is the location of my quarters?

CNS_Luchena says:
::puts it on screen but sees only fuzzy static.  Tries again to clean it up::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: Nothing but static appears on the view screen with the occasional inaudible word.

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: No warp ships?  CSO:  Have the ones we detected earlier disappeared?

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Where is the transmission coming from?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Checking, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to pinpoint the source of the transmission::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative , sir.  I did track ships entering the atmosphere of the 4th planet, but no ships appear on sensors currently.

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Commander.  Mind manning the Conn?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  The transmission seems to be coming from the 4th planet, at least that's my best guess.

XO_West says:
CO: of course not .

CNS_Luchena says:
::continues trying to clear up the static::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Try to clear it up as we move in.  ::turning to Brehgorn:: CSO: What can you tell me about the planet?

CIV_Katira says:
::Getting the directions, she picks up her gear and heads out of the room.::

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Take us in, half impulse.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::scans 4th planet for class, inhabitants, etc.::

XO_West says:
::Steps to the conn.::

XO_West says:
::Setting course to 1/2 impulse::

CNS_Luchena says:
::continues monitoring the transmission::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: The planet is Class M, sir.  I'm picking up signs of radioactivity, as well.

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Bring the deflector modifications offline.  Return to normal operating.

XO_West says:
CO: Taking us in.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Radioactivity?  As in nuclear fallout?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sets everything back to normal::

CIV_Katira says:
::Enters the quarters only to pause as she sees four bunk beds.  Two of them occupied.  Snoring coming from one of them.::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The giant gaseous 12th planet passes by the Luna as she probes deeper into the system

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Inconclusive, sir.

CIV_Katira says:
<Brigs> CIV:  Close the damn doors.

XO_West says:
<Self>: steady as she goes, stay on course.

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Take the possibility of radioactivity into account when trying to clean up the signal.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, I am picking up metallic debris, as well as...organic matter.

CIV_Katira says:
No, no, no...  ::Steps back through the doors.::

XO_West says:
::Scanning for asteroids in path::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Yes, sir.  ::corrects for distortion caused by radioactive waves and checks the transmission again::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Where?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, the ships that disappeared may have been destroyed.  ::scans for evidence of battle in the system::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Bring us to yellow alert.

CIV_Katira says:
*XO*:  No, this is not acceptable.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, they are drifting in clusters throughout the system.

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Bring us to a stop for a bit.

CNS_Luchena says:
::activates yellow alert::  CO:  The transmission is slightly clearer sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Any indication on what the cause of destruction was?

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: On screen again.

XO_West says:
CO: Coming to full stop, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::puts it on screen hoping for something better than static this time::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, I am reading even more metallic and organic debris ::scans debris for signs of origin, specifically to see if they were involved in an explosion::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A female appears on screen.  "...and with the success of our forces, we have once again sent our enemies crawling home with their tails behind their backs.""

XO_West says:
*CIV*: what do you mean this is not acceptable?

CNS_Luchena says:
::doesn't like the sound of that::

Host CO_Merced says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CNS: And this is coming from the fourth planet?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I believe so, Sir.  ::checks for the source again::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::Looks at CO:: CO: All signs point to the debris being caused by the destruction of a ship::

XO_West says:
::Listening to voice...looks up at screen as female appears::

CIV_Katira says:
*XO*:  I cannot live with four people.  I will live in a small hole, but not with three people.  Of which at least one is male.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO:  Re-evaluate the other planets of the system.  Can, or do any of them support life?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  As far as I can tell, it is coming from the fourth planet, Sir.

CIV_Katira says:
*XO*:  If I wanted to live with a man, I would have married one.

XO_West says:
*CIV*: what are you talking about?  Not now!  I will contact you later!

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods::  CNS:  And you have intercepted no other transmissions?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  I'll check, sir.  ::scans other planets in the system looking for Class M, or any other environment that could support life as we know it::  CO: Negative, sir.  The 4th planet is the only planet capable of supporting life.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Not yet, Sir.

CIV_Katira says:
::Listens to the closed channel, anger running high.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks for any other possible transmissions out there on any other possible frequencies imaginable::

Host CO_Merced says:
::hmms to self::  XO: Okay.  Take us in.

CIV_Katira says:
Computer: Are there any rooms unoccupied on this vessel?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, we are entering the range of a scanning diameter.  It's a weak system, but we're soon to enter the outermost portion of its range.

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Affirmative

CIV_Katira says:
<Computer>  Location.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO:  From the planet?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::tries to pinpoint the origin of the scans::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Deck 16, Room 1645

XO_West says:
::Setting course  at 1/2 impulse::

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices someone is accessing the assigned quarters database::

CIV_Katira says:
::Heads back to the TL::  Computer:  Deck 16, room 1645.

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes who and guesses why.  Locks the door on room 1645::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Strange, sir.  The scans seem to be emanating from multiple directions.

CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles to himself and continues looking for more transmissions::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Probes?

CIV_Katira says:
::Comes to the locked doors of the room.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: I detect no probes as of yet.  The strength of the scans, however, is gradually increasing.

CIV_Katira says:
::With a growl, takes off the panel and manually opens it.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Have you determined the source of the radioactivity on the planet yet?

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees that the lock has been over-ridden.  Dispatches a security team to that location::

CIV_Katira says:
::As the door opens, replaces the panel and enters the room.::

XO_West says:
*CIV*: Have you reported to your station?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.  ::continues to trace the point of origin for the scans, and to determine the cause of the radioactivity displayed on the 4th planet::

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>::comes running down the hall to room 1645::

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>  CIV:  Why have you broken into this room?

CIV_Katira says:
::Makes sure the doors are  locked and seals them with an old maquis trick.::

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks around the relatively small room, with four empty beds.::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  The CIV has broken into an unassigned quarters.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Sir, we have been detected.  An intense scan is pointed directly at the Luna.

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team> ::breaks down the door and drags the CIV to the brig::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Where from?

CIV_Katira says:
::Goes over to the vent and looks up with a sigh.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS:  Dispatch security.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Already done, Sir.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: The 4th planet, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks at the XO::  XO: I will leave her to you to deal with.

OPS_Syren says:
::wakes up with a start:: Oh S**T! I'm Late

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Send a greeting to the planet on the same frequency we received their transmission.

XO_West says:
*Security team*:detain CIV Katira until I get there.
