USS Pharaoh - SD 10603.02

Host Gilles says:
"Diplomacy is always the best option????" 

Host Gilles says:
Dozaria III has just had elections and has had a complete change of government and has requested the presence of their ambassador.

Host Gilles says:
A fleet of 20 vessels from the nearby Oiut solar system are patroling the area near Dozaria and have instituted a blockade. They claim a terrorist group is now in control of the planet. They have publicly claimed that now that they are in power they want the destruction of the Oiut people.

Host Gilles says:
The Pharaoh is sending a shuttlecraft to Dozaria III to speak with the representatives of the planet.

Host Gilles says:
The XO has had internal complications and is in sickbay recovering.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Sir....I have to restate I'm strongly objecting to you being on this away mission.

TO_McClane says:
::Continues to monitor the location of the shuttle and the Oiut ships.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Give me a better option then Commander?

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Captain I agree with the CTO.  We can handle this mission.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Sir....the CMO and I can handle the initial contact.  Once we have the lay of the land then we can see about you coming down.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::In Engineering, locking off shuttle bays 2 and 3 and the cargo bays to transfer the power.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::On bridge, sitting at helm station, monitoring position.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Enters some commands at his station and brings up some information on his display screen.::  FCO:  Commander, I was able to uncover some more information deep within the records that were given to us.

CMO_Balena says:
::Puts down his med pack and takes a seat.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  More information? What kind of information?

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: I wasn't happy about Commander Santiago going on the mission so soon after giving birth.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  I can understand your concern.  Very well, your objection is noted.  Mr. Hawkes will accompany you in my place.

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Thank you ma'am.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Thank you Sir.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Updates course to Dorzaria III, for if and when they get the word to proceed.::

OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  Well, apparently Dozaria was colonized four thousand years ago by the Ouit.  The Ouit then changed their names to the Dozarians.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Taps her commbadge. :: *FCO*  Commander, report to the shuttle bay for away team duty.

FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Sorry Sanford, it'll have to wait.  ::Taps commbadge.:: *CO*:  On my way Captain.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods at the Commander.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Exits bridge, enters TL.::  TL:  Shuttle bay.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Heads back to the bridge. ::

CMO_Balena says:
::Starts to do preflight checks on his science console equipment.::

CTO_Quchant says:
::Walks into the shuttle after seeing the CO off the shuttle deck.::

CTO_Quchant says:
::Sits down at the Conn and starts prepping the small shuttle for take off.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Exits TL, and enters the shuttle bay, approaches the shuttle craft and boards, sees the CMO and CTO.::  CMO/CTO:  Hey lads, what’s the word?

OPS_Sanford says:
::Waits for the Captain to arrive on the bridge.::

CTO_Quchant says:
FCO: The word is get on board and get this thing ready to go.

FCO_Hawkes says:
CTO:  Aye aye sir.  ::Gets in and hops into the pilot's seat.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Enters the bridge. ::

TO_McClane says:
::Notices the CO enter the bridge.:: ALL: Capitan on the bridge.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Hears the Captain enter.::  CO:  Captain, after digging through the records that were given to us I was able to find more information about the Dozarians.

CMO_Balena says:
::Leans over.:: FCO: We were just waiting for our best pilot.

CTO_Quchant says:
::Stops the FCO and points to the co-pilot seat.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
CTO:  Ahhh, sorry sir.  ::Hops into the co-pilot seat.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Lifts her eyebrow at the TO. :: All:  As you were.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  What have you got?

OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns back to his station to bring up the information.::  CO:  It seems that Dozaria was colonized about four hundred thousand years ago by the Ouit but they changed their names to the Dozarians.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Taps on some buttons.::  CMO:  Best pilot?...  No one else volunteered eh?

CTO_Quchant says:
*SEC*: Brent...report to the Shuttle Bay please.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Walks over to OPS. :: OPS:  That's interesting.  Go on.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: My systems check out sir.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::Watches as the last of the power transfer is completed.::

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO/FCO:  IF you two have finished?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Looks to CTO.::  CTO:  I thought the Captain was coming along?

CTO_Quchant says:
FCO: Not on my watch.

CEO_Rydyll says:
*OPS*: You have reserve power from the emptied and locked down cargo bays and secondary shuttle bays.

CMO_Balena says:
::Smiles at the FCO then looks back at his console.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Checks displays.::  CTO:  All flight systems are nominal, we're ready to launch.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A squeak can be heard from inside the TAC console.

TO_McClane says:
::Arches an eyebrow as his console squeaks at him.:: Self: What the ? ::Starts looking around and running a diagnostic.::

CTO_Quchant says:
*Bridge*: Shuttlecraft Scarab ready to launch.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Loads updated navigation settings from the Pharaoh.::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A life form reading is detected inside the TAC console on the bridge.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Well for the duration of their stay on Dozaria, the Ouit have been doing their fair share to stay on the planet.   About three centuries ago, the Ouit decided that the price to stay on the planet was going to be more.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Nods at OPS. :: OPS:  Clear them for departure.

OPS_Sanford says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.  ::Nods to the Captain and readies the Shuttle Bay.::  *Scarab*:  Shuttlecraft Scarab.  You are cleared for departure.

TO_McClane says:
::Steps back a bit.:: CO: Ah....ma'am, there is a life form inside the tactical console.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::Brings thrusters and impulse engine to idle, warp drive to stand-by.::

TO_McClane says:
::Reaches over and quickly reroutes tactical controls to another station.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Takes the pilot controls onto his console and launches the shuttle.::

CEO_Rydyll says:
*OPS*: Is there anything else you need for right now?

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Turns towards the TO. :: TO:  What do you mean, life form reading IN the console?

OPS_Sanford says:
*CEO*:  Negative, we should be fine Lieutenant.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Leans back in his chair.::  CTO:  Be my guest.

CMO_Balena says:
@::Looks out the forward window as they launch.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: No offense....just incase someone out there in the blockade is trigger happy.

TO_McClane says:
::kinda shrugs at the CO:: CO : Well, I was doing sensor sweeps on the Ouit ships, and I heard a squeak, so I ran a diag. It says there is a lifeform inside the console.

CEO_Rydyll says:
*OPS*: Understood, Rydyll out.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  By all means.  Not that it matters, this shuttle wouldn't hold up in a fight anyway.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns back to the Captain.::  CO:  Now, the Dozarians were refusing the new standards and began to attack the Ouit representatives on the planet.  It wasn't until recently that the political system changed enough for the Ouit representatives to be voted out.  Over a period of time the Ouit began giving in to the Dozarian aggressors.

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Exactly.  All the power into the main ship and none into the auxiliary craft.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Goes and grabs a phaser from the compartment on her chair. ::

SEC_Brent says:
@::Hopeful nobody in the blockade is "trigger happy".::

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Pilots the shuttle towards the planet.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
TO:  Let's find out what it is.  :: Sets the phaser to stun. ::

CMO_Balena says:
@::Turns to his console and starts to run full scans.::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Over time the Dozarians finally gained controlled of the planet which is still in effect to this day.  They've voted to be completely independent of the Ouit.

TO_McClane says:
::Almost gives the CO that look of "What?" but quickly catches himself.:: CO: Aye. ::Starts to open the console.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Scan the ships in the blockade as we go down...check for anything in the engines that might help us in a pinch.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Watches the planet get closer and closer on the sensors.::  CTO: Sure, just remember to watch your entry angle...  and your entry speed.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns to see the Captain moving off with the Tactical Officer.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Just making sure you're paying attention

Host Gilles says:
@ACTION: The COM panel on the shuttle Scarab beeps

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  I'm listening Commander, but, we have a situation here.  Shut off power to this console.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::Goes back to her display and begins checking for any power leakage from the transfers.::

CMO_Balena says:
@::Looks over at the console.::

SEC_Brent says:
@::A little jumpy jumps a foot to the left at the sound at the beep.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Concentrates on getting into the atmosphere.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and shuts off the power to the tactical station.::  CO:  What's wrong?

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  We've got a life-form reading coming from inside this console.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Nods at the FCO.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: Movement is heard all over inside the console.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Raises his eyebrow.::

CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Looks like we have an incoming message.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  The blockade ships are just hanging in space.  Looks like they're going to honor the agreement.

TO_McClane says:
::Mumbles to himself as he works to open the console.:: Self: It's going to be a Trigorian Face Sucker..I know it.

TO_McClane says:
::shivers at the thought.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Good.  As you said...this shuttle wouldn't hold up very long in a fight.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: A Cardassian Vole runs out as the TO opens the panel.... almost faster than the eye can see he skitters from one end of the bridge to the other.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  About 5 seconds, sir.

CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Answer it please.

CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Opening channel.  ::Taps on his console and opens the channel.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Sees the animal scurry away.::  Self:  What the?!  I wonder how that got there.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: The vole runs up the OPS’ pant leg.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Powers up emergency escape transporter system, places it in stand-by mode.::

TO_McClane says:
::Jumps back and draws his phaser.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Jumps up from his seat.::  Aloud:  Eek!  Why are you going in there..  There's nothing in there for you to play with.  ::Shivers his legs.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: OPS senses a nibbling ..... in the nether regions.... then a sharp pain.

Host CO_Sacul says:
Computer:  Lock onto small life form.......:: Sees the vole run up the OPS’ pant leg. :: That is on Commander Sanford and beam it into space.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Cries out in pain and just rips off his pants.::  Aloud:  Get it away!

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ COM: Scarab: This is Dozaria Control.  Identify yourselves.

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Let's hope the doctor's bedside manner helps us here

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::nods with a smile::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
<Computer> CO: Unable to comply.... lock cannot be established at this time,

CMO_Balena says:
@COM:  Dozaria Control: This is the USS Scarab of the United Federation of Planets.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Tries to swat the vole away from his body.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Curses and runs to OPS and attempts to grab the vole. ::

TO_McClane says:
::Switches his phaser to stun and tries for a shot on the Vole as OPS throws it away from him.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ ::Hears the clatter of some kind of bottles clicking.:: COM: Scarab: And?

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: The vole scurries round pulling a pair of pants with him.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Is holding himself.::  CO:  How is it that there was a vole in that console.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  I have no idea  :: Chases the pants trying to grab the vole. ::

CMO_Balena says:
@COM:  Control: We request clearance to land and speak with the ambassador.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Sits down in his chair, trying to recover from what happened.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ ::Whispers to someone off screen.:: Iop: Give me one of those.  :: COM: Scarab: What? Oh... Right.... ::Ruffles papers.:: I think have those orders here.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Overhears the comm exchange.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Looks at the FCO and rolls his eyes.::

TO_McClane says:
::Tries to use some coordinate his moves with the CO to try and corner the roving pair of pants.::

CMO_Balena says:
::Tries to keep a straight face as he waits for control to get this all set up.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Listens to the audio.::  CTO:  ::Whispers.::  Doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ COM: Scarab: CMO: You have to realize.... the planet has been on a party for a week now.... we gained our independence you see!  ::Grins and looks for the orders.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
TO:  You go that way, maybe we can corner it between us!

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO:  ::Whispers.::  It's another day in Starfleet

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: The CO has hold of the pants.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO: ::Whispers.:: Who-ahh.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: The vole runs out of the pants and into the TAC console again.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Programs holding pattern co-ordinates.::

TO_McClane says:
::Notices the CO has hold of the pants and takes the opportunity to pounce on the lead end of the pants...missing the vole completely.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Tell them we have beer.

Host CO_Sacul says:
Self:  By the Prophets!!!!

OPS_Sanford says:
Computer:  Erect a level one force field around the tactical station.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ COM: Scarab: CMO: AHA !   Got it !

Host Dozaria_Control says:
<Computer> Acknowledged. 

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  See if you can get a lock on it and beam it into space.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Looks at the FCO.:: FCO: Might help.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
ACTION: The Bzzap of a force field is heard.... and the smell of cooked meat fills the bridge.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Would help me.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Holds up OPS pants. :: OPS:  And get back into uniform as soon as you can.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Slaves Conn to the FCO's console.::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, though it did hurt me quite a bit.. I do think that's a little harsh.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Gets up and goes to the replicator.::

TO_McClane says:
::Gets up and shakes his head.:: All: That didn't sound good at all.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Takes over flight control.::

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Goes to the replicator and gets a few..er...drinks.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ COM: Scarab: CMO: Ummmm... you should land at co-ordinates. :: Spells off a bunch of numbers.:: The President should be meeting you there.

CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: When on Romulus....

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: Smells the stench coming from the console. :: OPS:  I don't think you have to worry about it now.

CMO_Balena says:
@COM:  Control: Thank you control Scarab out.

Host CO_Sacul says:
TO:  Find it and dispose of the corpse.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Sighs softly and goes over to grab his pants.::  CO:  I should go to Sickbay.

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ COM: CMO: Ummmm... anyone see any ships out there by the way?

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Granted.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Don't get me started on Romulus and their forsaken ale.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and quickly puts his pants on before heading for the turbolift.::

TO_McClane says:
::Nods to the CO and moves towards the Tac station.:: Computer: Computer, deactivate forcefield around the Tac station.

CMO_Balena says:
@COM:  Control: We’ll let your President know what we saw.  Scarab out.

Host CO_Sacul says:
TO:  I want the entire ship scanned for those...creatures.  I want them off this ship before they can breed.

CTO_Quchant says:
@::Suddenly cautious.  Then nods at the CMO.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Enters the lift.::  Computer:  Deck two.

CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Here are the landing cooridates and the President is meeting us there

CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Patch them over to the FCO...

OPS_Sanford says:
::Waits for the turbolift to arrive at the appropriate deck and exits the turbolift, heading to Sickbay.::

Host Dozaria_Control says:
@ ::Mumbles.:: COM: Scarab: CMO: FINE !  Don't tell me anything !  ::Sees he is talking to a closed channel.::   Iop: Where is that bottle?!

TO_McClane says:
::Quickly disposes of the dead Vole, and puts the tactical station back together.:: CO: Aye Capitan.

FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Looks over to the CMO.::

CMO_Balena says:
@::Closes the channel.::

CMO_Balena says:

FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Aye sir, heading for the deck.

Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Gron: Disregard.  It appears there is some sort of fireworks display.  My shuttle flew through it.

Host Gilles says:
