SO Salwa says:
::at science station, checking the results of her previous scans on the fungus::

FCO Zimmerman says:
CO: Steady as she goes. Warp 5. Aye sir

TO T’Rel says:
::is running standard tactical scans::

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: I am picking up what appears to be a distress signal, but it is very weak.  I am attempting to compensate now.

 CO von Krieg says:
TO: Mr. T'Rel, have our systems been checked since our last action?

XO Starks says:
Stidd: can you put it on speakers?

 CO von Krieg says:
TO: I have a concern about the overheating.

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Aye sir. They are functioning at maximum efficency.

 CO von Krieg says:
::leans toward Stidd::

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: It is very weak, but I will try.

Unknown Person says:
::static::rity 1 distress c::static:: tarfleet vessels, please respo::static::

XO Starks says:
OPS: Source?

 CO von Krieg says:
TO: Localize a scan near the source of the transmission.

SO Salwa says:
::goes back to checking the data from the ships sensors::

XO Starks says:
:: takes the helm position ::

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Understood sir.

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: Checking, It appears to be coming from the Bewltor system, sir.

TO T’Rel says:
::changes scans::

 CO von Krieg says:
XO: Jack of all Trades, eh, First...

TO T’Rel says:
CO: I have localized the scan..

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO:I believe we can answer it sir and we should get through clearly.

XO Starks says:
:: punching controls :: CO: you have to be on this ship sir 

 CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Open a channel, Mr. Stidd.

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: Channel open on tight beam full gain sir.

SO Salwa says:
::smiles hearing the XO's comment, keep working::

 CO von Krieg says:
COMM: Ship: Unknown vessel, this is the USS Pharaoh. What is your situation?

 CO von Krieg says:
XO: First, lay in a course for the vessel.

XO Starks says:
:: lays in a course and engages warp drive :: CO: we're on our way Captain

XO Starks says:
ALL: eta 3 and 1/2 hours

Unknown Person says:
COMM: ::static:: Pharaoh, not a vessel, will expl ::static::

Unknown Person says:
::Static:: ermission to come aboar ::static::

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Sir, my scans show that it is indeed not a vessel.

 CO von Krieg says:
::looks puzzled: TO/SO: Can you get me some reliable readings on this situation? If there is no vessel, what is the source?

TO T’Rel says:
CO: The readings are emanating from a planet.

SO Salwa says:
::acknowledges the CO and then turns back to the console, fiddles with the sensors again::

TO T’Rel says:
::continues looking off of scans trying to glean more information::

 CO von Krieg says:
XO: I wasn't aware that settlements were in this sector.

XO Starks says:
CO: not a federation settlement at least

 CO von Krieg says:
::grunts:: XO: This is too far off of the space lanes. Nothing's out here of note.

Unknown Person says:
::Static:: ermission to come aboar ::static::

SO Salwa says:
:: runs a few more scans on the planet:: Self: Ah the wonders of modern technology, perhaps if I hit it? :: the screen flashes again::

 CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Is this an automated signal? Permission to board what?

XO Starks says:
CO: ...Permission to come aboard?

SO Salwa says:
CO: It is a class M planet and there is no disturbance on the surface that I can locate which may need them to beam onboard.

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: As illogical as it sounds sir, I think they are asking permission to come aboard the Pharaoh.

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: We are still too far out to beam anyone from there.

XO Starks says:
CO: at least they asked for a Starfleet vessel. Maybe it's a federation citizen

 CO von Krieg says:
::frowns:: TO: Mr. T'Rel, prepare a security detail. I don't want any unknowns on my vessel

TO T’Rel says:
CO:  Aye, sir!

 CO von Krieg says:
XO: Hhhmmm. The message was very specific.

XO Starks says:
CO: dare I say a little to specific, not many Starfleet ships out here to listen to such a request

SO Salwa says:
::continues her scans to try and detect any reason for the message and locate it's precise source on the planet::

TO T’Rel says:
*Security personnel * : Security teams one and two report to the transporter room.

 CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Is the broadcast using Federation technology?

SO Salwa says:
::nods as she locates two large land masses on the surface:: Self: maybe threatening to hit the sensors worked?

 CO von Krieg says:
XO: ETA to the planet?

 Host OPS Stidd says:
CO: Confirmed, the technology is Federation including the encryption code.

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Sir, I am detecting humanoids on the surface, with a population mass similar to that of Earth.

XO Starks says:
CO: 2 hours out sir

TO T’Rel says:
::begins entering a briefing into the computer for the Security teams to recieve::

SO Salwa says:
CO: Information from our computers show that there is a mining colony on one part of this planet. I can't tell if that is where the signal originates from.

TO T’Rel says:
::continues TAC scans::

XO Starks says:
CO: sounds like a friendly got in hot water

 CO von Krieg says:
::gets out of the hard chair:: SO: Mr. Salwa, see if you can locate any information regarding manned exploration in this area.

 CO von Krieg says:
All: What is there to mine out?

 Host OPS Stidd says:
ACTION: A Flash of light appears on the bridge and then a humanoid now stands 6 meters in front of the CO Facing him

SO Salwa says:
CO: Aye sir ::attempts to get more information from the computer::

XO Starks says:
COM: Intruder alert!

Host Tomure says:
Hello Captain.

SO Salwa says:
::blinks and looks around at the person::

XO Starks says:
:: stands before recognizing the visitor ::

XO Starks says:
COM: cancel intruder alert 

Host Tomure says:
::Looks at XO, smiling:: XO: Good reflexes, Starks

 CO von Krieg says:
::look initially surprised and then angry:: Tomure: Ambassador Tomure, you are outside the confines of customary protocols.

Host Tomure says:
CO: Captain, I did ask to come aboard, why didn’t you answer?

XO Starks says:
Tomure: you sent the call?

 CO von Krieg says:
::frowns:: Tomure, our instruments indicated the hail came from the planet.

Host Tomure says:
XO: Yes.  I was acting as an  advisor when the negotiating team I was with was kidnapped.

SO Salwa says:
::watches the proceedings on the bridge, slightly confused still::

XO Starks says:
Tomure: Kidnapped by whom?

TO T’Rel says:
::listens attentively to the conversation, assessing the situation::

Host Tomure says:
ALL: The Leader of the terrorist team insists on negotiating with a representative of SF.

 CO von Krieg says:
Tomure: Terrorists? What are they terrorizing?

 CO von Krieg says:
::looks toward TAC::

Host Tomure says:
CO: According to the President of the planet, they have been trying for some time to interrupt the mining on the planet.  The planet is rich in dilithium and sellinium.

SO Salwa says:
::nods thinking that would explain the government control over only one half of the planet and 
mining on the other::

XO Starks says:
CO: we'll be entering the system in a few moments

TO T’Rel says:
Tomure: Indeed... what are the current circumstances?

 CO von Krieg says:
Tomure: What side are you representing, Mr. Ambassador?

Host Tomure says:
ALL: I know the customs of these people and was here strictly as an advisor.  We were trying to negotiate a treaty for the mining of both those elements when things went wrong.

 CO von Krieg says:
Tomure: Please continue...Who wants the Federation representative?

XO Starks says:
:: con beeps :: CO: we're entering orbit

TO T’Rel says:
::redoubles efforts at TAC scans, looking for potential threats::

SO Salwa says:
::turns to check her sensor readings again::

Host Tomure says:
CO: These terrorists do, captain.  That however is not the worst of the news for you, It seems you know the head of the team.  A General  Iflckten of the NPM.

 CO von Krieg says:
::faces turns dark:: Tomure: He is a butcher, but not a terrorist. We must be prepared for 
the worst.

Host Tomure says:
CO: He is one of the ones you have to rescue.

CO von Krieg says:
All: I will deal with him...personally. ::face grows hard::

SO Salwa says:
::checks for more information from the computers regarding Gen Iflckten::
