The USS Pharaoh is set to rendezvous with the shuttlecraft Hawking. On board is Mission Specialist Captain Leonard Fletcher. He has been specifically requested to mediate a dispute between the Tzenkethi Coalition and the Cardassian Empire involving the Temecklia system.

The Temecklia system is now being claimed by both the Cardassians and the Tzenkethi.

CEO_Lt_Irvin says:

CTO: excuse me, but what does 'War-r-rheads Ar-r-rmed' mean?
Capt_Fletcher says:
::materializes::

XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Prepare to re-engage our previous course.   Warp eight.
CSO_McGrady says:
::returns to science station::
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: yes Captain ::extends hand to shake:: welcome aboard the Pharaoh
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Course laid in. Engaging at warp 8 on your mark.
CMO_Jorae says:
Computer: Locate the Counselor, Please.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Engage.
FCO_Khrex says:
::engages at warp 8::
Capt_Fletcher says:
::shakes hand:: CO: Thank you Captain. And who is this dead beat you are letting run the transporter?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: We're at warp 8, sir.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher:  ::laughs:: he comes in handy, I believe you know each other  ::stands aside::
SO_Raja says:
:waits fro the CTO to come over::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Maintain course and speed.   Keep your eyes open for any warships in the area.   We are entering contested space.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::walks out from behind the Transporter:: Fletcher: Yeah... Deadbeat for sure. They just let any old man have a commission these days huh....
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  That goes for you too, stay on those scanners, Commander.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Acknowledged sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Aye, sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::walks over to Irvin with a welcoming embrace::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Capt_Fletcher: Good to see you Gramps.
Computer says:
CMO: The CNS is on the bridge.
SO_Raja says:
::looks at the panel again and tries to fix the mistake he made::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CEO_Lt_Irvin: You too Eli. You gonna be available in a little while for a chat, I need to get with Captain Starks for a few minutes...
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO: You looking for me?
CMO_Jorae says:
CNS: You would be the Counselor?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Capt_Fletcher: Sure.. I need to get back to Engineering to complete a couple of reports, then I can give you the dime tour if there is time.
CTO_Gem says:
::walks to the SO:: SO: How did you graduate from academy without knowing what weapons armed means? ::logs the computer out, so the next time he presses the console... it does nothing::
SO_Raja says:
::Pushes a button that says 'Targeting Scanners' and brings up another display::
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: I've cleared a cabin for you here on deck two. We're currently about 20 minutes from the Temecklia system.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO:  Yes I am.. How may I help you?
SO_Raja says:
CTO: I studied Sciences at the Academy
SO_Raja says:
CTO: But, I am willing to lear-r-n anything
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Fair enough Captain... I'll get settled in a little while. I'd like to go over some of the logistics of what's going to be going on.
CTO_Gem says:
SO: For the time being, I am revoking your access to tactical controls. ::locks the console:: Now... what do you know about tactical?
Capt_Fletcher says:
CEO_Lt_Irvin: I'll meet you in Engineering in a little while.
SO_Raja says:
::pouts that access has been restricted::
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: Indeed, this way to my ready room :: leads way out of transporter room to the turbo lift ::
SO_Raja says:
CTO: Well I know not to touch anything when you arr-re ar-r-round.
CMO_Jorae says:
CNS: I'm the Temporary CMO and I was assigned....::her eyes begin to water.....and she fights back a sneeze.:: to work with you preparing for whatever it is we're heading into.  So.... ::SNEEZE:: Sorry.....What is it we're heading into?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::smiles to Fletcher and walks out headed towards Engineering:: Fletcher: See ya Old timer!
CMO_Jorae says:
::Holds up her finger.:: CNS: Just a second......::Starts looking for the bridge medkit.::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CEO_Lt_Irvin: After while whipper snapper! ::follows the CO to his ready room::
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
::tries not to giggle::
CO_Starks says:
:: enters Turbo lift :: TL: Deck 1
SO_Raja says:
::looks past the CTO staring at the panel::
Capt_Fletcher says:
::enters in with the CO:: CO: How much do you know about what is going on?
SO_Raja says:
CTO: How did you lear-r-rn how to do all this stuff?
CMO_Jorae says:
::Looks around SCI console.....not there......looks around the Tactical console.....:: CTO: Before you say anything, I'm not getting fresh....I'm just looking for the Bridge med-kit.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Commander, have you ever dealt with the Tzenkethi before?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: I can't say as I have, sir.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: Very little, we were half way to a shore leave when we got the mission orders.
CO_Starks says:
:: exits turbo lift for ready room ::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: You?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Neither have I.  I've only read about the war with them.   I'm not sure what to expect.
CTO_Gem says:
SO: I was raised on Utopia Planitia. You learn a few things. And..I learned at Academy... and my brother assisted me. 
CMO_Jorae says:
::Sounding all stuffy.:: XO: You got a bridge med-kit?
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: I know that the Temecklia system is in dispute
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  If we're going to have problems it'll be with them, the Cardees don't have enough of a fleet build back up yet to be much of a threat.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Here's to hoping that our encounter is amicable.
CO_Starks says:
:: enters ready room and sits behind desk ::
XO_Chalen says:
CMO:   Yeah, behind the tactical console on the wall, spots.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Do we have Starfleet vessels in the area able to render tactical support in a timely manner?
Capt_Fletcher says:
::follows along side the CO:: CO: That's true. It's kind of a sticky situation because it was not an issue during the original treaty negotiation.
SO_Raja says:
CTO: That is good. You lear-r-rnes fr-r-rom many people. I had nobody to teach me stuff.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  I don't know, the Tzenkethi managed to stay out of the Dominion war so there fleets are still pretty sizeable.  And no, we're the only ones in the sector.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: do you anticipate problems with the mediation?
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Think the Pharaoh can handle a little fire fight? It might come to that since things are, shall we say, unstable?
CMO_Jorae says:
::sniffling:: XO: Thanks.....::Stands up and looks on the wall behind the CTO....knowing the medkit was around Tactical....takes out a hypo and sets it for antihistamine....and gives herself a shot.::
CTO_Gem says:
SO: That's why I'm here... now... listen to the following.
SO_Raja says:
::perks ears up::
CTO_Gem says:
SO: First, I will show you what on the panel not to push. Not to push. ::points:: That arms the weapons. ::points:: That lowers shields. ::points:: That targets vessels.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: It appears the situation calls for a high level of diplomacy, with a fight and flight Plan B.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Flight plan B?
SO_Raja says:
::takes mental notes::
CO_Starks says:
:: sighs:: Fletcher: We've seen our fare share of combat and she can give as much of a fight as the best of 'em....I just hope it won't come to that
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: There most likely won't be any problems. BUT, I would rather us stay at Yellow Alert since the situation was deteriorating according to the last intelligence report.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO:  Rrr...Fight and Flight....hit and run....
XO_Chalen says:
::chuckles::   CSO:  I like your brand of diplomacy, Commander.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Takes a deep breath......sounding a little less raspy......then a second breath a little less raspy than the first......then SNEEZES all the rest of the mucous out of her nose into her hand......looks for a convenient place to rid her hand of the gunk.::
CSO_McGrady says:
::smiles::
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: have the Cardassians or the Tzenkethi sent any ships to the system?
OPS_Verdi says:
::is momentarily startled by a loud sneeze::
OPS_Verdi says:
::resumes monitoring her console::
SO_Raja says:
::mouths to himself the systems indicated::
SO_Raja says:
CTO: So those buttons ar-r-re no-no's?
CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: SO: There are a few more. ::points:: This locks and unlocks targets. ::points a few more times:: Shield re-modulation... weapon power... evacuation of quantum torpedo bay... phaser array cleaner.
SO_Raja says:
::continues to purr::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Sir, may I have your ear.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Yes... According to the last report, there were two ships, one from each faction standing by for our arrival.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Of course, Cmdr.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Grabs some gauze from the medkit....and takes care of it.:: Bridge: Sorry everyone....
SO_Raja says:
::starts to look a bit confused::
CO_Starks says:
*XO* Take us to yellow alert and maintain status for the duration of the mission, Commander
CMO_Jorae says:
::Walking back over to the CNS:: CNS: As you were saying......
FCO_Khrex says:
::Starts humming to a tune in his head::
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO:  We are heading  to the Tzenkethi system... They are a feline race… more Tiger like instead of Lion.
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Yellow alert.  Charge weapons on hot standby and raise shields.
SO_Raja says:
CTO: That is almost all the buttons I can't touch. Which ones can I touch?
CTO_Gem says:
SO: Are you clear on... what not to push?
CMO_Jorae says:
CNS: More cats??  No offense......I'm just.....yea.  You already know.  Anyway.....
SO_Raja says:
CTO: Yes ma'am
CSO_McGrady says:
::whispers::  XO:  I'm coming to understand that our Science Officer may be a bit short of par on certain ship systems. I recommend when he's past muster with the CTO, that we cross-train him on other systems, as well.  If and when logistics permit, of course.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO:  Yes more cats...
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: I did forget to mention one thing... No Shields... We don't want to go in with our armor on. Might look like we WANT a fight...
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: And what is our exact role in all this, Odd that a Federation envoy would be requested
CTO_Gem says:
::Smiles:: SO: You can press the alert buttons... except green alert. ::unlocks the console... activates yellow alert... locks console::
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher:....right
XO_Chalen says:
::whispers::  CSO:   Agreed.  But your his guardian, I don't want him crashing the ship when he's at the CONN, got it?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO:  I'll see to it personally, sir.
CMO_Jorae says:
CNS: Lovely.  What are we doing here with the......Well race that sounds like a vocalized sneeze of mine?
OPS_Verdi says:
::monitors the automatic power reallocations as systems move to yellow alert status::
XO_Chalen says:
::nods to the CSO::
CSO_McGrady says:
::returns to science::
CO_Starks says:
:: sighs again ::  *XO* Maintain yellow alert but keep the shields down, this is a diplomatic mission. Captain Fletcher's orders
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*  Sir?
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Well, if you are familiar with the war, I was on the team that negotiated the original treaty.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Hears shields down over the com....:: Self: Oh yea.....I wanted to die on a temporary posting.
CTO_Gem says:
::blinks:: Self: What is yellow alert without shields?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Quite an order.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO:  I am not quite sur-r-re...
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:   You heard the Captain.   Keep us at yellow alert but lower the shields.
XO_Chalen says:
::tries to keep the disgust out of his voice::
CO_Starks says:
*XO* you heard me Commander, Starks out
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: Yes I was reading the original wording of the treaty, fine work
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  It's diplomatic, Ensign.
OPS_Verdi says:
::senses a bit of anxiety over the last order, but feels it is reasonable in a diplomatic situation::
SO_Raja says:
::watches the CTO closely as she works::
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*  Done sir.
CTO_Gem says:
::unlocks console, deactivates shields, locks console::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Thanks... But apparently it had flaws since we are having to do this again after so many years of peace.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Rubs her hands together.....:: CNS: Well......I guess I should find out.....
CTO_Gem says:
SO: Now. You can do some wonderful things with tactical simulations. However, I don't believe I can trust your access to the weapons maintenance room.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CMO: yeah you should...
SO_Raja says:
CTO: You can Tr-r-rust me. I am honest. Har-r-d working too
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: It ended the war, maybe you can stop another before it starts, The Cardassians are too weak to even defend against the Tzenkethi at this point
Capt_Fletcher says:
::decides to sit::
CSO_McGrady says:
::monitors LRS and notices a Type 6a comet flashing through space::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: We shall see Captain. And there is one thing that I want us to do in the course of this mission.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: And that is?
CTO_Gem says:
SO: I suggest taking a class in tactical operations class. Though, they usually teach basic computer operations controls, including tactical, to all Starfleet Academy students, except medics.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: As you know, I have been granted full operational command of this 'meeting' of sorts.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: I'd like to get a couple of the Pharaoh's folks together for an investigation.....
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: to investigate what?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: So, do you know anything of this Captain Fletcher?
SO_Raja says:
CTO: When can I do simulations? ::continues to look at the panel and all those buttons::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: It is a strange coincidence that this system should come up for dispute this late in the game.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: that it is
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Not a thing.   His file just shows a distinguished diplomatic career, but nothing out of the ordinary.   A specialty with the Tzenkethi though, and that is probably why Starfleet is sending him.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Starfleet Intelligence suspects a massive coup attempt in the works in the Tzenkethi Coalition
CTO_Gem says:
SO: I'll help you when we return to Starbase.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Well,...that's certainly a positive for this particular mission.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: How is the Temecklia system involved in such a thing?
SO_Raja says:
CTO: That would be good.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
::just watches everything::
CTO_Gem says:
SO: I can teach you the basic tactical operations when we get back to Starbase... and we're... less busy.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: That's what I want to find out.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Too bad that fleet thought that sending more than one starship would send the wrong message.    At least they had the good sense to send a ship that can fight as well as any other three in the fleet.  ::grins::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: There is something there that the 5 of us didn't pick up years ago.
SO_Raja says:
CTO: Can you show me that ar-r-rm thing you did to me the other-r-r day. That would be good to know also
CMO_Jorae says:
XO: I'm heading  to Sickbay to look up information on the mission......Any medical emergency, you know where not to bother me at.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: aye, to that.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO/CSO: You know? I heard he eats cadets for lunch, and ensigns for dinner.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: My crew and ship are at your disposal, just try to give me a head's up before you take any of my people of their duty station ::slight grin ::
XO_Chalen says:
CMO:   Let me know if you get lost.
CSO_McGrady says:
::smiles at the FCO:: CNS: May I have a word, please.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   really?   Glad I'm the XO.   ::grins::
CMO_Jorae says:
XO: Me, get lost?  Okay....maybe once or twice.....but I have a map this time!  ::Doesn't mention that doesn't really help much.::
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CSO: sur-r-re.. ::walks over to the CSO::
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at his pip:: XO: Do you think you could promote me?
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Not in time.  You're doomed.   Deal with it.
CTO_Gem says:
SO: I am not authorized to teach my kind of martial arts. Therefore, you'll have to ask some of the other tactical officers.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: Thank you Captain. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Your orders are to form a team to investigate computer records for the last 15 years, and complete a survey of Temecklia 4.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CSO: How may I help you Sir-r-r?
CSO_McGrady says:
CNS:  Over the near future, and perhaps farther than that, I'm personally seeing to it that our SO gains a thorough familiarity with all ship systems.  He certainly appears enthusiastic, but he'll be absorbing much information.  I want you to make sure he's handling his training well, and if not, I want full reports.
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: I'll get my Science and Operations personnel on it right away
SO_Raja says:
::pouts at the CTO's response:: CTO: It was good though. Had me down in no time
Capt_Fletcher says:
CO_Starks: The computer records are going to be affiliated with a faction of the Tzenkethi Coalition called the Nazine.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
CSO:  Aye Sir-r-r... Anything else?
CMO_Jorae says:
::Heads to the TL.:: TL: Deck....Well.....whatever deck Sickbay is on.
CSO_McGrady says:
CNS: That is all.
CTO_Gem says:
SO: It is a basic technique. Had I really wanted to hurt you... I could have used... locked your arm and broke it with an axe kick.
CMO_Jorae says:
:: The TL stops on Deck 2.....Julia looks at her map......then turns it right side up....and then upside down again.....then turns left.::
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
::steps back and watches::
SO_Raja says:
CTO: That would have been bad. I hate pain.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::stands:: CO: And with your permission, I'd like to command us into orbit around Temecklia 4 to greet the other mediators Captain.
CO_Starks says:
:: stands :: Fletcher: Then I'll be getting to the bridge. I'll have my staff inform you with any findings
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
::turns toward the XO::  XO: Sir-r-r is ther-r-re anything I can do to help out somewher-r-re?
CO_Starks says:
Fletcher: Consider the CON yours, if you'll join me to the bridge...
Capt_Fletcher says:
::smiles:: CO: More or less for old time sake... It's ::pauses:: been a while.
XO_Chalen says:
CNS:   Yes, try brining up any sociological data on the Tzenkethi.   It'll help if we have to negotiate.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::follows the CO out to the Bridge::
CO_Starks says:
:: opens ready room door ::  Fletcher: after you, Captain
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
XO:: alr-r-right Sir-r-r...
CSO_McGrady says:
All: Captain on the bridge.
SO_Raja says:
::stands at attention::
CTO_Gem says:
::at attention::
XO_Chalen says:
::stands from the command chair::   ALL:   Captains on the bridge.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
::stands at  attention::
Capt_Fletcher says:
::exits:: CO: Thank you Captain. And by the way, when we're not on the bridge, call me Leonard.
OPS_Verdi says:
::doesn't do anything at all different::
CO_Starks says:
ALL: as you were
FCO_Khrex says:
::still sitting monitoring the helm::
CO_Starks says:
XO: Captain Fletcher will be taking us into orbit Commander
SO_Raja says:
::relaxes again::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  We're still a few minutes out sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::walks around and stands in front of the Center seat relieving the XO and smiles::
CTO_Gem says:
SO: Could you excuse me a moment?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye sir.   ::nods to Capt. Fletcher::
CMO_Jorae says:
::Walks to a door expecting it to open, thinking it's Sickbay.::
CO_Starks says:
XO: How's our systems looking?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   For now, everything is back to five by five, but don't jinx it.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
:;sits down at a station  and starts to work on Tzenkethi
Capt_Fletcher says:
::looks over to OPS:: OPS: Ship wide Intercom please Commander....
SO_Raja says:
CTO: Of COur-r-rse
OPS_Verdi says:
::opens a ship-wide communications channel::  Captain Fletcher:  It's open Sir.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Irritated:: Computer: Open Sickbay doors.
CTO_Gem says:
::walks towards the Captain::
SO_Raja says:
::Stares at the Tactical Panel trying to remember what buttons not to push::
CMO_Jorae says:
::Waits a minute.::
CMO_Jorae says:
Computer: Open SB doors!
CO_Starks says:
XO: I'll needs OPS and Con to start a survey of Temecklia 4 once we reach orbit. And have the Science department interface with the Tzenkethi database and download all computer records affiliated with a faction of the Tzenkethi Coalition called the Nazine.
Capt_Fletcher says:
*Ship wide* Attention All personnel, This is Captain Leonard Fletcher. I will be assuming command of the Pharaoh for orbital establishment and greeting of the other factions for this mediation meeting. Various personnel in the Science and Operations departments should standby for operational orders from Captain Starks. That is all.
FCO_Khrex says:
::turns halfway in his chair to listen to Captain Fletcher::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye.
OPS_Verdi says:
::closes the channel::
Computer says:
CMO: Sickbay doors are open.
Capt_Fletcher says:
FCO_Khrex: ETA to Temecklia 4
CTO_Gem says:
CO: Sir. Will an away team be going to the surface?
XO_Chalen says:
OPS, FCO:  You heard the Captain.   Start the survey of Temecklia 4 as soon as we reach orbit.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Looks at the doors in front of her which are closed....:: Computer: Oh.....Um.....Thanks......Keep them open for me for five minutes.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Commander, download the computer records for the Nazine faction.
OPS_Verdi says:
XO:  What sort of survey?
FCO_Khrex says:
Capt_Fletcher: ETA is 10 minutes.
CO_Starks says:
CTO: depends on what we find out, but assume so, yes
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:   Any and all information you can gather about the surface.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Heads down the corridor looking for the open doors.::
OPS_Verdi says:
XO:  Wouldn't that be better handled by Science?
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  You'll gather orbital data and scan for natural and artificial satellites.
OPS_Verdi says:
::is just asking out of curiosity::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: May I speak freely, sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CTO_Gem: Ensign, scan the area for Cardassian and Tzenkethi ships
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Science will have their hands busy finding out about this Nazine faction of the Tzenkethi.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Acknowledged. Should we go to geosynchronous orbit or polar orbit for the survey?
OPS_Verdi says:
XO:  Understood.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Go head.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Polar orbit for now.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Acknowledged.
CO_Starks says:
:: moves to the engineering console to get an overview of ship's systems ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: ETA to Temecklia 4 in 3 minutes.
OPS_Verdi says:
::thinks that tactical would be in a better position to handle the cloak and dagger stuff, but oh well::
CTO_Gem says:
::starts scans on the Cardassians and Tzenkethi::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Prepare to drop to impulse.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: I don't know much about this race, but I know they won't take too kindly to our lifting their data.  I've certainly no problem fulfilling your order, and will do so immediately, but should they discover our efforts, your affinity towards tactical engagements may be appeased.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Sees two open doors and darts inside as if she's afraid they'll close on her.....::
FCO_Khrex says:
::prepares to drop to impulse::
SO_Raja says:
::watches closely as he watches Gem's fingers fly across the panel with ease::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Dropping to impulse on your mark, sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
CTO_Gem: As soon as you get a good scan, hail both of them and put it up on the main viewer split down the middle.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Let them get offended.   Captain Fletcher must think this faction could be trouble, and I also like to know about trouble makers BEFORE I show up in their back yard.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  mark.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Looks up expecting to find biobeds.....and instead sees people eating.....and some of them staring at her....::
FCO_Khrex says:
::drops to full impulse::
CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: Fletcher: Aye sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Very good, sir.
SO_Raja says:
CTO: You ar-r-re ver-r-ry good at that
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Dropping out of warp. We're at full impulse sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::looks to the XO:: XO: Good Man.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::smiles::
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
XO: Sir-r-r I found some infor-r-rmation about them...
XO_Chalen says:
::nods to Capt. Fletcher::
CMO_Jorae says:
All: If you wanna stare at me like that, you'll be first in line for physicals, which I'm SURE are behind.  So....back to what you were doing.
CTO_Gem says:
::goes through the necessary scans... gets a good scan... then... gets it on screen... half and half::
OPS_Verdi says:
::begins discretely searching for communication signals::
Lt Krants says:
CMO: If you're looking for Sickbay, it's out the doors, three doors to your left.....::Hides a snicker.::
XO_Chalen says:
CNS:   very good, forward all data to the Captains consoles, and cc me.   I'll read it on a PADD.    Anything out of the ordinary?
CO_Starks says:
:: looks to main viewer ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::begins hacking into the Tzenkethi databanks, and after successful connection, begins downloading data relevant to the Nazine Coalition::
Capt_Fletcher says:
COM:: Cardassian & Tzenkethi ships. This is Captain Leonard Fletcher on the USS Pharaoh. Respond please.
CNS_Starlight-Rose says:
XO: NO Sir-r-r
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  make for polar orbit at the first orbital opportunity.
CMO_Jorae says:
Krants: You're first in line for a physical.....I'll expect you there 0700 tomorrow morning!  ::rolls onto the balls of her feet.:: All: Anyone wanna vie for second?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Establishing polar orbit.
CMO_Jorae says:
::The mess hall is silent.:: All: Nope......I didn't think so.....::Turns to leave......then stops.::
CTO_Gem says:
SO: By the way... thanks.
OPS_Verdi says:
::initiates full sensor scans of the planet::
Capt_Fletcher says:
::looks over to the CTO:: CTO: Did they receive the hail Ensign?

ACTION: LRS detect a Cardassian Galor class vessel and a Tzenkethi warship in orbit of the Temecklia IV.

CMO_Jorae says:
Krantz: And Lt.....if you don't show, I'll find out who you are and have you removed from duty until you have had your physical.....So don't test me.....
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Geographical survey will be complete after 10 polar orbits sir.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::paces the bridge::
CTO_Gem says:
::tries it again... that is... hailing the two ships::
OPS_Verdi says:
XO/CO/Fletcher:  There is a Cardassian Galor and a Tzenkethi warship in orbit.
XO_Chalen says:
::nods to the FCO::
Capt_Fletcher says:
::looks over at OPS:: OPS: Warships?
CO_Starks says:
:: walks over to XO and lowers voice ::
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  What's their defensive and weapons status, ensign?
CMO_Jorae says:
::Exits from the Mess hall and heads to her left 3 doors and in.....:: Self: I would have found it soon enough on my own without his help!
OPS_Verdi says:
Captain Fletcher:  According to our sensor data, Sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
::starts to scan for satellites, natural and artificial::
Capt_Fletcher says:
CTO_Gem: Audio only Ensign....
CTO_Gem says:
XO: We're at yellow alert with no shields. Meaning... weapons aren't armed. We're open to weapons fire. But... we do have quantum torpedoes in their bays.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::walks over and stands by OPS looking over her shoulder::
CO_Starks says:
XO: a planet in the backwater of the region and now it's surrounded by some of the most formidable collections of warships in the quadrant.....interesting don't you think?
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to watch the CTO and continues to learn::
CTO_Gem says:
::changes the communications to... audio only::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   I'll trade interesting missions for relaxing ones any day.
Capt_Fletcher says:
::looks over to the CTO:: CTO: Keep your finger off those weapons Ensign.... We came over here to prevent a fight... Not start one.
OPS_Verdi says:
Captain Fletcher:  Right there Sir.  ::points to the readouts on her panel::  Their shields are down.
CMO_Jorae says:
::Looks around the closet known as Sickbay.:: Self: No wonder they say I'm only here to stabilize patients until we can get them to a starbase for crying out loud!
FCO_Khrex says:
::notes to himself that a Galor isn't THAT formidable::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Think we'll have trouble sir?
Capt_Fletcher says:
COM:: Cardassian & Tzenkethi vessels, this is Captain Leonard C. Fletcher on board the USS Pharaoh... Respond...
CO_Starks says:
:: nods grimly to the XO ::

ACTION: Time freezes and everyone is frozen in time...  

ACTION: A flash of light appears on the bridge and man dressed in a Starfleet uniform with the rank of Captain appears on the bridge

Quil says:
::looks around the bridge and frowns::
Quil says:
:;sniffs the air:: Self: I could swear he was here....
Quil says:
::wipes hand on rail:: Self: Dirty little place... I wonder what he found of interest here....
Quil says:
::looks at the crew like insects::
Quil says:
::smiles:: Self: Let's see... if they are really THAT interesting...
Quil says:
::snaps fingers:: 

ACTION: Everyone disappears in a flash of light.

ACTION: The Pharaoh bridge is empty
