::still laying on his back in the Hangar, getting very tired of waiting.. those stupid civilians better hurry up and get here::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::at the science station in C&C::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He steps into Command & Control after leaving the Science Labs. He looks around and walks across the room, climbing the stairs slowly up to the second level, looking around and noticing the golden colors from the sun filter through the large windows in the roof::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::taps his badge:: *CEO*: Dallas to Lambert.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::in the engineering labs, sublevel 4, working on building a phase modulator from scratch.. the sudden chirp of his comm badge breaks his concentration::
*CSEC Dallas*: Lambert here.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::tests the range of the external sensors::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::goes back to letting his mind float around the station, 'listening' in on various people. One of the few things left for him to do to keep himself occupied::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Oversees Air Traffic silently, still visually calibrating the sensors::

Host Syarta says:
::Enters C & C:: XO: Ah, Commander Hixxan.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::looks down the channel at the waiting engineers:: *CEO*: Lieutenant, our visitors are getting restless. Do you know the next point on their tour?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::at his station in C&C, trying to make the Dominion computer interface more "Federation-friendly"::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks up and notices Yokati'Clon on the opposite side of Command & Control, and he looks over to Syarta quickly. He does a slight bow of respect and looks at the decorative clothing worn by the Haisian:: Syarta: Greetings Syarta...

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::sighs::
*CSEC Dallas*: I didn't know they required a chaperone, Ensign. ::shakes head::  I'm in the Engineering Labs.. I'll be there shortly. What is your location?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::taps his comm badge, sitting up, tired of waiting:: *CBO*: Hamilton to Jadahn, is that stupid civilian ship anywhere on sensors yet?

Host Syarta says:
::Obviously tenses at the sight of the female Jem'Hadar:: XO: Commander, the High Echelons felt that perhaps some of your crew would be interested in taking a tour of Kayairn City. As such, I offer my services as a tour guide for any of your crew whom you would like perhaps make such a trip.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
*CEO*: That won't be necessary, Lieutenant. I can show them around. I just need an itinerary from you in case I show them the door instead of the fusion flush system.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::shakes his head at the poor range of the stations external sensors:: Self: I guess I will have to repair these sensor myself.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He nods politely:: Syarta: I am grateful for the offer, however you do understand that I must clear such a visit with Captain Thelsh before proceeding. ::He glances over towards her office:: If you would care to join me? ::Motions in that direction::

Host Syarta says:
XO: Certainly.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::after reconfiguring the sensors, activates an ultra-high frequency pulse throughout the sensor restricted areas and monitors the passive sound waves::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::hops down off the back of the APT and starts to make his way towards the door of the Hangar, still waiting for an answer from Apollo::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::busily working on this and that::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
*CSEC Dallas*: Most of the necessary information is on the PADD I gave Chief Enright. If they aren't doing anything else, I was about to request help in getting the industrial replicator repaired. The matter cohesion still isn't stable, so much so that I don't dare replicate anything with it before it is fully tested.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles and heads around the ramp up towards the Captain's office. Pausing slightly he presses the chime and looks over to Syarta:: Syarta: I am quite sure the Captain will approve such a venture, and might actually insist on attending...::He smiles - recalling how she is already over-working herself, after only fifteen days::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
Yokati: Is the Civilian ship on sensors yet?

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::looks for the one he remembers as Enright:: *CEO*: Shall I send them on and bring Enright to you, Lieutenant?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
Jadahn: No Lieutenant, not yet.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::monitors the sensors and sends out a 5 second sound pulse::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CVO* Sorry, nothing yet.  I'll alert you when we get something.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks up at the chime:: Any: ENTER!

Host Syarta says:
::Winces slightly, but not because of Thelsh shouting:: XO: Do you hear that?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
*CBO*: Ok thank you. ::heads out the door and straight down the hall the 20 steps or so to the lift and gets right in, heading up to C&C::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He does his best not to wince at the high pitch screech emanating from the Captain's office. With a smile pressed onto his face he steps into the office slowly. He pauses at the door and looks to Syarta:: Syarta: Hear, what?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::activates his passive scan program on the internal sensors::

Host Syarta says:
::Begins to enter, his mind wandering:: XO: A high pitched sound ... far away, but close.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::puts down the tools he was using::
*CSEC Dallas*: It doesn't have to be Enright.. I know he's eager to finish the survey. Anyone from his team will do. I may even contact Ensign Hamilton for his help.

Host Iu says:
::Steps next to Brock::  Brock: Are you making that horrendous sound?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks up surprised:: Iu: Excuse me?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks at the Bolian standing half in and half out of her office: XO: Yes Commander?

Host Iu says:
Brock: That noise... Are you causing it?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::the Dominion voice counting down the decks is even more irritating today then ever before, but soon enough it gets to what Tyler has learned is Dominion for 16 and deposits him in C&C. He crosses the room without ever wavering from where he's headed::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Syarta: Unfortunately my ears are not as acute as many humanoid species...however if it is of concern to you, I will do my best to investigate. ::Steps in and looks to the Captain:: CO: Sir, Syarta has brought you a proposal from the High Echelon.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::sits back in his chair, and brings up the quarters assignments, going over them::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::arrives at the door to the Captain's ready room and pounds on the door, just a little too hard he realizes seconds after doing it::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Iu: I am. But I am trying to find the cause and stop it. ::quickly deactivates the sound pulse::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::assigns Judia to guide them around and leaves the residence section:: *CEO*: Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Let me know if you need anything. I'm sending the group on their way now. Dallas out.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::leans back in her SF issue office chair, indicating the two visitors toward the to large Klingon chairs in front of her desk: Both: Then by all means, come in and have a seat.

Host Syarta says:
::Notes that the sound has ended ... comes in:: CO: Thank you, Captain.

Host Iu says:
ACTION: Everyone notices a green 'thing' on Hamilton's head, but he doesn't know its there.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Iu: It is this hybrid Klingon/Dominion interface. I am having a bit of a problem managing the controls.

Host Iu says:
Brock: Thank you... that sound was quiet uncomfortable

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles and takes his own seat, motioning for Syarta to continue with his proposal::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::takes three lefts and a right and ends up near his and Hamilton's quarters:: Murka: Cat, where are you?

Host Iu says:
Brock: You have guests... ::And before Brock can turn around, he's gone::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Iu: You are welcome. And sorry.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks around and notices Iu is gone and shrugs:: Self: That really bugs me.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::waiting outside still, not looking around at all, just staring at the door waiting to be let in::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Raises her head and looks around her immediate area slowly::

Host Syarta says:
CO: The High Echelons have felt that you and your personnel have not been appropriately acquainted with Hais, especially considering you will be living here for the time being.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Door: WHO IS IT?

Host Syarta says:
ACTION: In response to Iu's earlier statement of "guests," two Jem'Hadar with armed and ready weapons de-shroud around the CSO.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
Room: TYLER HAMILTON.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Walks slowly down the ramp, and sees two of her Jem'Hadar de-shroud::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::drops his PADD and jumps:: Hey!!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::heads to the Lift, which slowly takes him up to level 12::

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar One> ::Lowers polaron weapon:: CSO: Explain your assault.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Watches in silence::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He turns to Syarta slowly and gives a look of concern:: Syarta: My apologies. Events never seem to slow on this station...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: JUST A MINUTE, I AM BUSY.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::smiles and crouches down as the Russian Blue crawls out from under his bed, stretching:: Murka: There you are. Hungry? ::heads to the closet to take out one more of the quickly-dwindling supply of cat food he brought with him::

Host Syarta says:
::Nods:: XO: It is quite all right, Commander.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks at the Jem'Hadar:: JH1: I.... I'm sorry? Assault?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: Sorry about that... That sounds very interesting

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Hamilton feels a slight itch on his left ear

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::frowns and almost yells back at the Captain, but decides against it after opening his mouth and turns away, mindlessly flicking at his ear as it starts to bug him::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: I take it that you approve of this plan as well?

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar One> CSO: A powerful high-range sonic wave was unleashed upon the Jem'Hadar and Klingon barracks. Our Vorta was harmed as a result. A trace has been tracked to this console which you are using. Explain.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: I believe it would be quite beneficial to relations between the Haisian people, and our Starfleet personnel. I fully endorse the ideal, and Syarta has been gracious enough to offer his services as a "guide" to Kayairn City.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::with a few beeps, the quarters assignments are saved and he transfers his report to the respective crewmembers::

Host Syarta says:
::Nods:: CO: What your First Officer said, Captain. We would be honored to show you around Kayairn ... it is truly a beautiful city.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::slowly bends and picks up his PADD smiling at the JH and showing them he is only picking up his PADD waving it before them:: JH1: I inadvertently caused a feedback while testing the sensors. No assault was intended. Please give my apologies to the Vorta that was harmed.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::feels her rubbing against his shins and chuckles:: Murka: Careful, I'll step on you! :: evades the cat and crouches again by her dish, opening the packet and squeezing the mixture out::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO, Syarta: I agree, and I would like to thank the High Echelon on behalf of SF, and I would personally like to add my thanks as well.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The itching on to the top of Hamilton's left ear is being caused by the green thing's 2nd tongue, which is lapping at the top of the ear.

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar One> CSO: We do not agree. ::Turns to Yokati'Clon:: Clon: Should we take him into custody, First?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::his report finished, he goes back to work at trying to "streamline" the Dominion computer interface, making connections and shortcuts here and there, combining and splitting different sectors::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: With your permission ma'am, I would like to compile a lists of officers I feel might benefit from the experience...sir...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
:;scratches behind the cat's ears as she eats::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks at the JH in shock:: JH1: Custody? You can't do that.

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar Two> ::Has not lowered his polaron weapon since this entire encounter began::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::sitting at the nearest console to the Captain’s door, he grabs at whatever it is scratching his head, figuring it's something like lint that fell from the ceiling of this god-awful place::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Turns to Syarta and Thelsh slowly looking between then:: CO/Syarta: Unless you had someone in specific in mind...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Absolutely... Just be sure that my name is on the list as well ::grins::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::mental note that his sound wave needs to be at a higher frequency next time.::

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar One> CSO: It is within regulation parameters. Data compiled so far suggests a deliberate pulse. If determined otherwise, you will be released.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Looks at the JH::  Jem'Hadar One: Kravash!  Tenga Lu mei.  Pqua reill!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::arrives on level 12, walking towards the industrial replicator::

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar One> ::Looks at the First. Then looks at the second one. Both nod, holster their weapons, and slowly exit the Command Center, leaving the CSO be::

Host Syarta says:
ACTION: Both Jem'Hadar re-shroud as they move to exit.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Walks slowly over to the Gallamite::  

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Understood Captain...::He nods slightly and takes his PADD, which seems to appear out of no-where. He never leaves without a PADD and with a smile he logs in and begins opening a crew manifest, skimming through the names and highlighting several::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Mike, any estimate as to when the industrial replicator will be online?

Host Syarta says:
CO/XO: Whoever you feel would most benefit from the experience.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::breathes a sigh of relief ::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
Brock: Never try to scan our territory again.  ::Keys in three commands, which appears to do nothing to the CSO's console::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks at Yokati'Clon and notices her actions:: Yokati'Clon: You can count on it.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::strokes the length of her back and then stands:: Murka: Das vednaya.. ::slips out the door::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
Brock: Be sure of that, Gallamite.  ::Walks back to her station::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::taps comm badge::
*CBO Jadahn*: It's online now... the only problem is the matter cohesion transducer is out of alignment. I've been making adjustments to it for days now, and it still won't maintain a stable molecular matrix.. If you aren't busy, a second pair of eyes could perhaps help out.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Skims the list slowly and highlights eight of the Starfleet names. He also adds Syarta and General Ranuck to the list. After a few seconds he looks up and hands the PADD over to Thelsh:: CO: For your approval Captain...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Thing on Hamilton's head begins to "drool" on his ear.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::activates a comm channel:: *CSEC*: Ensign Dallas, report to the C&C.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Takes the PADD, and does a cursory glance:: XO: Looks good.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::is already on his way toward the lifts:: *CSO*: Is there a problem, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: So when will this tour be?

Host Syarta says:
CO: I could have things prepared within the next day or so.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CEO* Sure, no problem, I'll be right down.  Jadahn out. ::looks at Dallas::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: We would be very pleased if you would.  Personally, I am excited to no end.  This is something I have been looking forward too since we arrived.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: As have I Captain. I believe our staff will begin to appreciate the Haisian culture if they are capable of experiencing it first-hand...

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
*CSEC*: Well, yes. I need to talk with you.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::gets on the lift and keys in the code for level 12::

Host Syarta says:
::Has been practicing the "human smile," and accomplishes it easily:: CO: Thank you, Captain. We as well look forward to this.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::luckily meets the lift on that floor and steps in, keying for C&C:: *CSO*: I'll be in the attic in a few moments, Lieutenant. See you there.

Host Syarta says:
CO: Hopefully you will all appreciate the beauty of our world as we have come to.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
*CSEC*: Affirmative.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::feels the lift click and then rise up thru the bowels::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::returns the smile:: Syarta: I am sure we will.  If there is anything we can do to help with your arrangements, please dont hesitate to ask.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::While making final astronomical calibrations, a bogey is detected. The Dominion display immediately beings to try and classify threat status::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::the lift stops at level 12, after a somewhat shaky ride.....Apollo makes his way to the industrial replicator::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::checks his calculations on the "test" and makes some adjustments to his theory::

Host Syarta says:
::Stands:: CO: Of course, Captain, thank you for your time. XO: Commander Hixxan, thank you for your assistance. We greatly appreciate it. CO & XO: If you do not mind, I shall take my leave to begin arrangements.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::watches C&C slowly slide into view and steps down, looking for Brock::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He nods politely and stands as well, beside Syarta:: Syarta: It is a pleasure working with you...

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::hears the lift and looks towards it noticing Dallas' arrival and walks to him::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Stands with Syarta:: XO, Syarta: Not at all, Syarta.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::has the side and front panel of the replicator off, just waiting for Jadahn::
CBO Jadahn: Lieutenant, thank you for coming.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::slows, noticing the expression on Brock's face:: CSO: Something I can help you wish, sir?

Host Syarta says:
::Nods, and exits the Captain's office. Making his way to the turbo shaft, wearily glancing in the direction of Yokati'Clon::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: I tested our theory about passive scanning of the "special areas".

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Keys in Landing path for vessel, and announces its arrival in a loud voice to everyone in C&C::  All: Banting Class Science Vessel on landing Vector.  Landing Pad 3 is destination.  ETA till landfall, six minutes.  

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods:: CEO: No problem.  Looks over the "innards" of the replicator.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Finally, something really interesting!

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::becomes aware of the Jem'Hadar in Control and urges Brock to one side:: CSO: And?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Two of the Jem'Hadar officers, recalibrate the heads up display of the Dome to zoom in on the craft, which appears in the crosshairs of the Tactical System.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He turns to Thelsh and smiles:: CO: I am sure that you will enjoy the visit. I will do my best to keep the peace in your absence ma'am...

Host Laevon says:
::A distressed sounding Vorta is heard over the comm.:: *CO* Captain ...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: In my absence?  ::Groans at getting the com::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: I was surprised by two Jem'Hadar with weapons drawn.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Laevon*: What can I do for you, Laevon?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Examines the craft visually, as well as scans it as much as the sensor resolution will allow::

Host Laevon says:
*CO* Could you report down to the "sickbay," immediately.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
CBO Jadahn: Like I said, I think the problem is the matter cohesion transducer... the only problem is I can't find a spare, and I've been trying to realign it for a while now.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Pauses as he hears the voice of the Vorta over the comm. He does his best to suppress a look of disgust, even at the sound of that tiny little man::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::takes Dallas's shoulder and walks with him to the lift:: CSEC: Let's go somewhere more private.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::overhears the Jem'Hadar First and taps his badge:: *Security Office*: Dallas to Security: Team 3 to the tarmac to meet incoming vessel. Sky watch detail. Dallas out.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::follows Brock, walking as inconspicuous as possible:: CSO: They detected it?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Glances down at the Land pad monitor, two Starfleet Officers are there for visual landing guidance for the pilot, with their sensor torches::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::glances at the XO, visibly wondering if this is a setup:: *Laevon* I can be there in just a minute.  Is there a problem?

Host Laevon says:
::Sounds out of breath:: *CO* Yes ... there is. I await your arrival. ::The comm. cuts::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::nods:: CSEC: Affirmative. And the scans were vague at best. Far less than what I had hoped. And it seems the sound wave injured a Vorta.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Now what...?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CEO: I can put in for a replacement, but it won't get be scheduled to get in for another two weeks...and if I'm detecting a pattern, then that means it could be more like 3.5 weeks.  You think it's shot or salvageable?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Lets go see what he wants now.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Thing on Hamilton's head drools on his ear some more

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He hears the voice and wonders what's going on:: CO: Captain, would you prefer me to accompany you to sickbay? ::He looks concerned:: CO: Honestly I'm not sure if we should trust him...but I know in a sense he have to.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: I dont trust him as far as I can throw a singularity...

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Smiles and motions for her to exit the office before him. As he stands he whisks the PADD of the Captain's desk and takes it in hand again:: CO: After you, ma'am.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::frowns:: CSO: That's what lead to the 'encounter'. What did they say?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves to door and opens it, seeing a young betazoid with a green thing on his head:: CVO: Uhhhhh?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Botanist's Vessel clears the mountain range and begins its final circle of the base.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: Ensign.... just what in the blue blazes is that?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Watches the bulky vessel begin its landing, with the aide of the two ground crew::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He goes to exit the office after Thelsh and stops dead in his tracks, staring blankly at the green mass on the head of Tyler Hamilton:: CO: Am I seeing, what I think I'm seeing? ::He reaches for his tricorder slowly and begins scans::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CO: Is what?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: Apparently they have scanned the signal and traced it's source to my console. Then Yokati'Clon ::nods his head in her direction:: came to my console and entered some sort of command. I will have to try and figure out what was done. I was told never to do that again.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
<Team 3> ::one Klingon and one Fed security officer stand on the tarmac, watching the skies carefully as the ship circles::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: Stand very still...  Don't you know that there is something on your head?  ::Slightly turns to Hixxan:: XO: Cmdr... what is it?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Slither licks Hamilton's ear again

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
CBO Jadahn: I think it's salvageable, but this Dominion technology is a pain in the miktah.. to put it nicely.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Scans identify the creature as reptilian. It contains no bone structure, and has two bilateral tongues, used for smell and taste...::He pauses:: Cross references with the database identifies it as Haisian "Slither."

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::Frowns:: CSO: The probability is pretty high it'll be reported up the line to the 'Shirts. Uhm... well it was worth a try but I don't think it's safe to attempt to further that experiment, sir. Vorta hearing is pretty acute anyway.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::smacks at his ear again:: CO: So that's what's been bothering me so much.. ::reaches up and feels around for whatever it is::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: Perhaps I am going in the wrong direction. I wonder if instead of an ultra-sonic sound wave I used a sub-sonic sound wave.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Vessel lands and begins to off-load its crew and cargo.  Including an odd vehicle, similar to an ATV

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
:;folds his arms, thinking:: CSO: Do you have any data on Vorta biology? You'd be able to tell if their hearing leans to latter instead of the former.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::finds it in his hand and gives it a good yank::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: As Hamilton pulls if off his head, it begins to make a soothing warbling hissing sound.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: You cant feel it up there?  I wonder if it has a topical numbing effect....

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: That was my next move. I am going to check our medical database for all info on the Dominion biology. Anyway, I thought you should know that they were prepared to arrest me for that "event".

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks at the green mass on the Ensigns head and can't help but smile at the thought:: Haisian: From records it appears that the Slithers have become a domestic creature, caught in the wild and tamed for commercial sale...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
<Team 3> ::the Klingon continues watching as the SF officer volunteers to help out::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::as it comes into his field of vision, it finally gets through Tyler's head what it is and he tosses it, completely by coincidence, directly at Thelsh::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CEO: I hear ya...we'll move it up the priority list, maybe a few extra hours on it will get us somewhere.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::shakes his head:: CSO: Don't worry about that, sir. They have no such authority as long as we're in charge of station security. If they threaten you again, let me know and they'll see who ends up in custody.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Slither lands right on Thelsh's face and hangs on.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: Take it to Lt Brock to .....::Screams and ducks out of the way::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
All: The Federation Botanical Survey team has arrived.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Looks on in horror as the creature attaches to the Captain's face. He winces at the screech that emanates from her mouth seconds before and he moves to quickly do his best to pull the creature off::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CSEC: Thank you Mr. Dallas.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::almost tips the chair back as he moves away from it until he realizes what he's done with it and he jumps to his feet:: CO: Oh god, Captain, sorry... ::moves over and gets a good grip on it again, pulling it off and this time tossing it to the floor::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Not fast enough.... quickly reaches up to pull it from her face, ::ALL: <ANDORIAN Expletive> <Andorian Expletive> <Human Expletive> <Klingon Expletive>!!!

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks around as he hears the CO scream::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Pulls the Slither off of the Captain and holds it, feeling the slimy mass shift in his hands as he looks down at it and then he looks up at the Captain:: CO: Are you alright ma'am?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Turns slowly to look at the insane antics of the Captain::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
CBO Jadahn: Thanks. I haven't tried adjusting the alignment with a Dominion tool. Let me see if I can find one around here.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::offers a hard smile:: CSO: Just doing my job, Sir. Will that be all?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::after it's off the Captain's face, Tyler begins to move back, away from the angry little Andorian, slowly, wishing he was anywhere but here::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::grins at the comical scene then looks at the CSEC:: CSEC: Yes. And thank you.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Pulls the clammy creature off her face and throws it to the floor, Glaring at CVO:: All: Slimy <Andorian Expletive> boneless <Betazoid expletive>!

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks around at the dozens of storage containers in the room:: CEO: Ehh...good luck...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::gulps and continues to make haste away from the Captain, picking up speed the further away he gets, ready to turn and run should the need arise::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Rubbing her face with her sleeve: CVO: ENSIGN!  GET THAT SLUG OUT OF HERE!!!!

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::nods:: CSO: I need to get back downstairs. Let me know if anything else comes up. ::steps back into the lift and keys in Level-1::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Hears the translation of the various curses and notes that she has yet to use a Bolian translation of her terminology:: CO: I will contact Syarta on the best way to remove all these creatures from the station sir...::Hands the creature to Hamilton::...shall we proceed? I believe Laevon is waiting for us.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::looks around for a transducer realignment tool::
CBO Jadahn: I saw one around here the other day..

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::instinctively ducks as soon as the Captain starts to speak, then moves up and picks it up off the floor, really, really hoping he doesn't get kicked in the teeth:: CO: Yes sir..

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: One of the Starfleet Ground Crew arrives in C&C with the Head Botanist, looking around for the CSO

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Wheels on XO::XO: I KNOW HE IS WAITING!  LET HIM Wait!...  :CVO: Ensign!  Where did that thing come from?

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::rides down the lift::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::sees the new arrival and steps forward introducing himself:: Head Botanist: Hello. I am Lt. Brock, the CSO. Welcome to Abertura Station.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::digs around through some stuff and pulls out something vaguely familiar:: CEO: This it?

Dr_Crieton says:
::Looks around:: CSO: Hello I'm here to begin a biological survey of the Rebquo

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<Crewman>  Brock: Lieutenant Brock, I'd like to introduce Doctor Neilson Crieton, head of Botanical Survey.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Stands stock still, he doesn't move and looks back at the Captain:: CO: Understood ma'am...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::holds the clammy green thing in his hands and looks down on his little blue Captain:: CO: I don't really know. I was just lying down in.. ::catches himself, stupid Tyler:: I was waiting for the scientists in the Hangar, then I came up here and it just sort of appeared.

Dr_Crieton says:
CSO: And thank you ::Smiles::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
<Crewman> ::Nods and ducks out::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Dr Crieton: Have your people been shown their quarters? ::smiles politely::

Dr_Crieton says:
CSO: Not yet, we've just arrived.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CVO: Take that thing to Lt Brock... make sure it doesn't have any harmful properties to alien life... like US!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
CBO Jadahn: I think so. ::grabs it, then lies down to work inside the replicator::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Dr Crieton: Great. That means I get the pleasure of giving you and your team the nickel tour. ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: NOW we can go to sickbay... I think I may need something to clean my face after that...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir. ::takes 8 steps across C&C and plops it down on Brock's console:: CSO: Special delivery, care of Captain Thelsh.

Dr_Crieton says:
CSO: I suppose you have detailed scans of the mountains? I'm not a geologist, I'm a botanist, but I'd like to know something about the terrain ::follows the CSO:: Thanks for the hospitality

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: I'm sure that Doctor Sattor has some sterilization equipment on hand sir...::He smiles and motions to the ramp:: CO: Shall we?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Glares at the XO:: XO: Your laughing at me, aren't you?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::hears the CVO and puts a hand up to the Dr.:: Dr Crieton: Please excuse me for one moment. ::goes over to his console and looks at the creature.:: CVO: This for me? How nice. ::grins:: Interesting, isn't it?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: No sir...however I am smiling at that creature you had plastered on to you face...sir...::He smiles lightly then goes to a serious expression::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves down the ramp toward the lift::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: Interesting.. no. More like gross.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::squats down next to the CEO, watching him work::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Yeah.  Right.  ::grumbles under her breath::

Dr_Crieton says:
::Looks over the CSO's shoulder:: CSO: What's that? ::Curious:: Is it indigenous? An Herbivore from the looks

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CBO*: Lt, what are the room assignments for Dr. Crieton and his team of botanists?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Fine, don't believe me...but I can assure you, if I was laughing at you, you would be quite aware...::Doing his best not to laugh, and eventually his mind begins to think about Laevon and that shallow distressed voice over the comm::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::steps out of the lift and rounds the corner to the corridor leading to the Atrium and Security Office::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks around for something to pick up the creature with, finding nothing, just grabs it::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::works with the device... they are in luck - it IS a transducer realignment tool::
CBO Jadahn: Okay, let's try this. ::makes some adjustments to the transducer, then runs a level 4 diagnostic::
CBO Jadahn: I think that might have worked... ::waits for the diagnostic to finish::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks at Brock's new friend:: Crieton: From what we can tell, that is an indigenous brain sucker.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Gets on TL and punches up Lvl 4::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Dr Crieton: I believe it is indigenous. ::looks at the CVO:: CVO: It is a what? ::half laughs::
