OPS Stidd says:

FCO Qwynn says:

FCO Qwynn says:

CO von Krieg says:
OPS/SO: Have you fully analyzed Ambassador Tomure's briefing regarding the Delrian's numerological beliefs?

FCO Qwynn says:

XO Starks says:
CO: what about opening negotiations, if even to just distract

OPS Stidd says:
CO:I have sir.

SO Salwa says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. It is interesting actually.

Host Tomure says:
::Enters the bridge and goes to the CO::  CO: This just came from the council. ::Hands von Krieg a PADD:: I am making you in charge of this mission and I am your advisor.

CO von Krieg says:
<edt Dana>

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Sir, before my plan can proceed I require more information about where the hostages may be held.

CO von Krieg says:
::glances at the padd:: Tomure: This is unacceptable. ::flatly:: This is now a military mission, and I will be acting according to Starfleet rules of engagement.

General  Iflckten says:
@ Minor: You! You must let me speak with your superiors! Ve only Vant to help!

FCO Qwynn says:
:: overhears the Captain, and pays close attention to his emotions during this conversation ::

SO Salwa says:
::refrains from looking back at the captain::

TO T’Rel says:
::continues to work on the plan and also begins more TAC scans of the planet::

Major Minor says:
@Gen: Help!!!!! Help to make us better slaves? Never. We will never be slaves to any one

Host Tomure says:
CO:I think that a non military action could prove better in the long run, but as I said, you are in charge of the mission.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: she gets goose-bumps ::

XO Starks says:
Tomure: what do they expect to get in exchange for these hostages?

CO von Krieg says:
TO: Mr. T'Rel, patch into the lateral sensors. Coordinate your efforts with science.

TO T’Rel says:
::sends a message to the console of another Security officer::

Major Minor says:
@GEN: People like you have told us when to eat, when to work, when to sleep for the last time

TO T’Rel says:
CO: Aye, sir!

Host Tomure says:
XO:I don't know.  That is why I think talking first with a military backup plan is whats needed, but I have relinquished to mission to the captain so it is his call.

TO T’Rel says:
::patches into sensors::

XO Starks says:
CO: Captain I think we should hail them see what they want, if they prove unreasonable then it will at least keep them off guard as we undertake an extraction mission

General  Iflckten says:
@Major: Ve only Vant the Minerals! Surly your People will benefit from an agreement with ze Federation?!

FCO Qwynn says:
:: feels the emotions of the Captain.  They are calculated, precise, driven... almost cold blooded ::

Major Minor says:
@GEN: So we can be slaves for the Federation?

SO Salwa says:
::silently watches the sensor readings and listening to the conversation behind::

CO von Krieg says:
Tomure/XO: Recovering the hostages is our first priority. I agree. We must at least contact the captors. First, make the contact. Ambassador, if you will meet me at the situation table.

Major Minor says:
@GEN: What makes the Federation any better

CO von Krieg says:

TO T’Rel says:
::receives a response from the security officer::

Major Minor says:
@Gen: What laws. There is no laws for slaves. We live and die on a whim. Of course you already know this.

XO Starks says:

Major Minor says:
@Gen: prove it then.

XO Starks says:

General  Iflckten says:
@ Major: Let me speak vith a Federation representative, Ve need 3 groups to negotiate, give me a third group.

Host Tomure says:
CO: None according to their belief in numerology goes.  Only other point is the link between the Federation and SF.

XO Starks says:
COM: we are under the impression he and his team are being held against their will

Major Minor says:
@Gen: NO! You will not contact anyone. You will spread lies. I will contact them. I will make sure there is no denial

Major Minor says:
COM: Pharaoh: What do you want with them?

Host Tomure says:

Major Minor says:
COM: Pharaoh: I assure you that they are safe and unharmed so far.

CO von Krieg says:

TO T’Rel says:
Trans. Operator: Energize.
