Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Pacing the C&C, along the balcony, repeatedly looking toward Yokati'Clon to see if the Dominion are in-system yet::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::Working at his display in C&C, he checks over the status of the Engineering Dept. and looks over at the Flight Control displays, wondering when the dreaded Dominion vessels will arrive in orbit::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::walking down a corridor looking around at his new home::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::still in Command and Control at his station::

Sec_Green says:
::Receives his orders from the Security Chief, indicating he's to check out the security checkpoints around the meeting halls::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CMO walks right into the Romulan delegation who are being escorted by the now more cleaned up, and nonetheless attractive, Chief Jennifer Silver.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::he looks at the PADD in his hand searching for the name of the CO so he can report in, he then runs into someone and looks up::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
Oof! ::Moves to the side:: CMO: Sorry about that.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::He glances up at the second level to see the petite Andorian pacing along the length of her balcony. Almost instinctively, he shivers, feeling a massive wave of dread fill the room::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: The Romulans eye the CMO like he's beneath them, but keep their stance.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
Silver: It was my fault. ::smile::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::takes a look at the readings coming in from the sensors to see if he can pick up the Dominion ship yet:: 

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::helps out Brock in the Science labs::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::looks at the Romulans for a minute and then looks back at Silver::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
:: Walks up to the railing, looking down into the 'pit':: CBO: Mr Davis... how are our guests doing?

CSO_Brock says:
::looks to Miss Kedi and smiles as he runs scans on the dagger::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::swivels around in his chair and looks up to the balcony::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
<Zal'Tair> Silver: Ms. Silver, will we be continuing? ::Glances at the CMO::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Best smile she can provide:: Zal'Tair: One moment. ::Turns to the CMO:: CMO: I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met, and I know all the Starfleet personnel onboard. I'm Jen Silver, you are?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Alright, I think.  Everyone who inquired about accommodations has been provided for, at the very least.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
CSO: Did'ya find anything?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::thinks for a moment:: Silver: Lieutenant Junior Grade Mike Lammel, the new Chief Medical Officer. And may I ask who you are?

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::He returns to his display, hoping to shake of the sense of dread that has filled the air::

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Her smile widens:: CMO: I just told you, buddy, but that's okay if you're not quick on the uptake. I'm Chief Jennifer Silver, I'm in charge of the CoE contingent here on Abertura.

CSO_Brock says:
CIV: Well, it's a Klingon dagger.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Walking around to the different meeting rooms on the third level, he's not finding anything amiss... yet::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
Silver: Sorry I am a little occupied. I just got back from leave because of a medical injury and I am trying to get use to things again. ::smiles::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::hesitates for a moment, wondering if Thelsh wants to say anything else::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CBO: Is everything arranged for the ceremony as well?

CSO_Brock says:
CIV: I hear we got a new CMO, maybe you should go play welcoming committee?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
::Slaps the CMO on the shoulder, with a slight amount of power:: CMO: Well, I hope you get better soon. I have to continue this tour. ::Turns, and rather loudly:: Romulans: If you'll follow this way, I'll lead you to the Klingon barracks, which we won't be entering ... unfortunately ... ::She adds with a bit of sarcasm::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::feels his face become warm::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::twitches her tail and thinks:: CSO: I could. Do I look okay?

Host Chief_Jennifer_Silver says:
ACTION: Chief Silver and the Romulans disappear down the corridor.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: I wasn't aware that much else was needed.  I can check up on everything and make sure, though.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::jolts a little bit, looks at Silver and then continues walking::

CSO_Brock says:
CIV: Of course you look okay honey.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::In the next meeting room he checks, there's a strange energy signature coming from a corner of the room that his tricorder picks up::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::blushes and gives Brock a kiss on the cheek and then saunters out::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::stands, getting ready to either get reamed out or quickly make way out of C&C to check on things::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::heads to Sickbay::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::walking around looking for the Turbo Lift::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CBO: Just check with Adm. Kroft's aide.  She should be able to tell us what else is needed.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::finally finds the Turbo Lift and steps onto it:: Computer: Level 17.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Klingon Officer> CO: Captain, there are three Haisian vehicles approaching the station from the main highway entrance.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: A female Klingon soldier enters the science labs where Brock is.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods, thinking he faired out pretty well on this occasion::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::enters SB and looks around:: All: Is there a doctor in the house?

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::Stops as she sees the CSO working:: CSO: I was unaware this lab was in use.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::the Turbo Lift stops at level 17 and Lammel walks out onto the Command/Control Center and looks for the CO::

CSO_Brock says:
::hears something:: Klingon: Kiz, I hope you didn't get lost already. You know where Sickbay is.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Checking it out, there's an ODN conduit that has become frayed slightly, which is the cause of the odd signals:: *EO*: Security officer Green to Ensign Jones.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
KO: Very good.  See that they are meet with an honor guard.  :CBO: Please have quarters arranged for the Haisians as well, though they may return to the city after the ceremony.

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::Somewhat perplexed:: CSO: Who is Kiz?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel>CIV: Which doctor?

CSO_Brock says:
::turns around:: Klingon: Oh, sorry. And yes, I'm busy at the moment

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::Being jarred from his diagnostic, Jones taps his comm badge and sounds a little disoriented as he answeres:: *Sec*: Ensign Jones here. What is is?

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::Sees the glint of the dagger from behind the CSO. Steps in slowly:: CSO: And what are you working on?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
MO: I heard we got a new doctor, do you know where he is?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods again, turning immediately to his console to make the adjustments for quarters for the Haisian delegates::

CSO_Brock says:
K'Tlexis: Nothing to concern you.

Sec_PO_Green says:
*EO*: Ensign, I'm in meeting room two, where I picked up an odd energy signal.  Seems a ODN conduit in slightly bad repair is causing the signal.  This could be important, as I believe the conduit has a part in the internal sensor network.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel>CIV: No, I believe he is going to check in with the Captain.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Klingon Officer> CO: Yes, Captain. ::Dispatches the same Klingon honor guard that has met the other groups::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::assigns the delegates several cabins on Level 14 since the space on the floor above is becoming thin to none::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::notices the CO and walks over to her after looking around the Command/Control Center for a moment:: CO: Ma'am, Lieutenant Junior Grade Mike Lammel reporting for duty.

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::Does not like the CSO's tone of voice:: CSO: I was unaware that Starfleet personnel spent their time studying Klingon daggers.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::The female Jem'Hadar, something practically all Starfleet officers have never seen, eyes up the CMO as he walks by, then returns to her console::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
*Sec*: Odd...I believe those sections were checked...I'll run a diagnostic from here, and assign someone to conduct repairs. Is there anything else, I can assist with?

CSO_Brock says:
K'Tlexis: We do when they are part of a murder investigation.

Sec_PO_Green says:
*EO*: Not at this time.  I will continue with my scans and report back if I find anything else.

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::In a gruff voice:: CSO: Murder? I was unaware there was any murder investigations that involved Klingon weaponry.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::having completed the paperwork for the Haisian delegates' quarters, he heads for the lift::

CSO_Brock says:
K'Tlexis: Well maybe the knife was stolen then. I'm just trying to do my job. ::Trying to placate her::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
*Sec*: Understood. Jones out. ::He begins to access station records and the Corp. Of Engineers work schedule, to check if any of the ODN Lines on that level had been worked on recently::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
Lift: Level three.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The lift to the bridge opens and Laevon leads out a trio of Ferengi.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel> ::watches the CIV as he continues his work::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::backs way, startled at the door opening abruptly in front of him::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::giggles:: MO: When do you think he'll be back?

Host SM_Selan says:
<K'Tlexis> ::Stares hard at the CSO, almost giving a glimmer of something else ... but what?:: CSO: I see. Then may your investigation bear results. ::Turns on her heels and leaves::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
;:moves to his right and folds his hands behind his back, waiting for Laevon and the delegation to make their way::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::turns to blond Betazoid, having to look way up to see him:: CMO: Welcome to Abertura, Lt... I am Capt Thelsh, and I truly would like to welcome you to our little station.

CSO_Brock says:
::lets out a sigh of relief::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel>CIV: I am not sure. You can wait here if you would like.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Stops, and quirks his eyebrow at the side-parting CBO, refrains from smirking at him, and walks by. The Ferengi look around in amazement at all the "glorious" Dominion technology::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::As he looks over the repair schedule, he sighs and rubs the ridge of his nose, checking work rotations and equipment usage:: CBO: Lieutenant Davis...have you authorized anyone recently to use repair equipment intended for Level Three?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
MO: Alright. ::gives him her most beautiful smile:: Is there someplace for me to sit?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CO: Thank you, ma'am. It has been an interesting experience so far.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::With his checks complete, he begins his other assignment of monitoring the C&C::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks to Jones, wondering when he's ever going to get out of the C&C on this day::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Notes Laevon and the Ferengi:: Self: Oh no.....

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
EO: I just got here 11 hours ago.  I haven't authorized the use of repair equipment on any level.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
EO: Why?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CO: Oh no? ::looks around::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The three Klingons on the bridge snort in disgust and in-joke humor at the Ferengi, who choose the ignore them. Not surprisingly, Laevon looks very comfortable with his companions. All three make their way toward the CO.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Silently groans as she knows what's about to occur.  Her antennea shiver in anticipation and dread::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::approaches Jones, his curiosity now ringing in his ears almost::

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Walks to the South turbolift and calls for a car::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel>CIV: You choose. It is a bit small in here.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
MO: Alright. ::hops up to sit on a biobed::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::feels a few strange emotions from the CO and just watches::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Stops with the trio:: CO: My dearest Captain, may I present Daimon Glyo and his assistants.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Daimon Glyo and his assistants> ::Grin their horrible grins::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Down where Laevon came in, the lift opens again, and Syarta comes striding in with the happiest look in a long time.

CSO_Brock says:
::continues running his scans on the dagger::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
CBO: An ODN conduit which was reported repaired previously seems to be faulty...I'm afraid it may have been due to poor workmanship, faulty equipement...or...::He trails off, not wanting to say "sabotage" outloud with the delegates around::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> ALL: And a glorious good morning to you all.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::hums and looks around sickbay:: MO: Will he be back soon?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::looks at Syarta for a moment and then everyone else::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel>CIV: I am not sure. :: a little irritated::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Returns a sickly grin of her own:: Glyo: Daimon Glyo, it is an... Honor, to meet you.  I hope that Laevon has been giving you a good tour of our station?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::his limited powers of perception kick in, and he leans closer to the EO::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
EO: Or..?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Hears the Haisian arrive, and rolls his eyes::

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Finally manages to have a car arrive for him.  He enters and instructs it to head to the command center::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::tilts her head and twitches her tail:: MO: I'll just go to C&C then ::hops off the biobed and heads out::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
:: Turns gratefully to Syarta:: Syarta: Syarta... please come and join us

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
<MO_Scalpel> ::sighs in relief that the CIV left::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Daimon Glyo> ::Steps forward, his breath horrible, almost the height of the CO:: CO: If I had heard how beautiful you were, Captain, I would have brought you the best latinum jewely available ...

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> ::Strides up the walkway to the group::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::heads to the Lift and pushes the button for C&C::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::He leans in closely and mouths the word he's thinking, knowing that many races - particularly the Ferengi - have keen hearing::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::perks::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::another sickly smile: Glyo: Er... that would have been very generous of you Daimon... but totally unnecessary.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> CO: Captain, a good morning to you. Laevon & the Ferengi: And greetings to you as well. CMO: I do not believe we've met, but I am Syarta, and a greetings to you as well.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::thinks for a moment, choosing his actions carefully::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Daimon Glyo> CO: Ah, but Captain, I'm sure you are used to being lavished with such gifts ... your beauty ... your charm ...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Glyo,Syarta: This is our new CMO, Lt Mike Lammel

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::watches the two communicate and then looks over at Syarta and then back at everyone again::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> CMO: A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lammel.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::enters C&C and looks around, narrowing her eyes at Laevon, then trying to pick out the new CMO::

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Arrives in the center, taking note of the Ferengi, the Haisian, and the Jem'Hadar::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
EO: ::very quietly:: Go down to Level 3 and take a close, close look at the ODN relay in question.  Find out how it was altered, and also look at the surrounding data trunks for other evidence::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
Syarta: Nice to meet you as well.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> CO: Captain, I have just arrived with the Praetans [members of the 10th Tier of Haisian government]. And as this is their first trip here to Abertura, they are quite excited, and amazed by what you has been done here. I believe they are QUITE looking forward to this ceremony.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::perks her ears and listens to the conversation, checking to make sure her outfit looks okay::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
EO: After you do that, disable the relay and reroute if absolutely necessary.  In the meantime, I'll try to give the Captain a heads-up.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Edit out "you">

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::ignores Glyo's remarks:: Syarta:  I am very pleased to hear that.  And I do look forward to meeting with the Praetans as soon as possible.  If there is anything they need, make sure to ask Mr Davis, and we will be happy to supply it.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> ::Smiles:: CO: Of course.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::He nods and logs out of his controls. As he leaves and heads towards the lift, he passes by Petty Officer Green and nods, he enters the lift and signals the lift of his requested destination::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::sees the crowd around the Captain and wonders how he's going to tell her this without attracting attention::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::twitches her tail and steps closer to the circle of officers and delegates::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::also approaches the group, though keeps his distance after sensing the stench of Laevon::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> CO: Well then, Captain, I trust you have much to do. I'll continue our tour of the station ... I would ask you to let me know when the ... Founders arrive, but I'll know myself. ::Turns and leads the drooling Ferengi away::

CSO_Brock says:
::goes to another console to run another set of scans::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::watches the group walk away::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::As he exits the list, he heads into the main meeting chambers. In a moment flat, Jones is on his kness, prying open an access hatch, and running a full diagnostic on the conduit in question, checking data feeds, and the external casing::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Watches the group leave with obvious relief::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::notices the CBO:: CBO: Hey, are you doing okay up here?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CO: If I may ask, what was that about, ma'am?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::smiles faintly at Kedi::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CIV: Ask me tomorrow.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> ::The grin never leaving his face. Silently:: CO: I'm sorry if I seem too excited, Captain, it's just become apparent over the last few days how many opportunities this will open for my people. And I am so thrilled to be part of this experience.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::approaches the Captain now that Laevon and his entourage have left::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::nods to the CBO::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::looks around, trying to locate the CMO::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Syarta: It is understandable... This is exactly what we want for this station and for the Haisian people.  Hopefully this will be a point of interaction between yourselves and the galaxy as a whole.  It is what the Federation is all about.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::waits as patiently as possible for Syarta to hit the road as well::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CMO: Not much happened truthfully.  Laevon was positively polite this time.  Normally he is very...sarcastic and biting, covers it.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::He looks over the outer casing, running several scans. As he moves to the underside, he notes a large display of damage to the network relay. Sighing, he runs several scans and immediately begins to write up a report on a nearby PADD::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Syarta> CO: Of course. I must go now, the Praetans await me. Please let me know if you need anything. Thank you, Captain. Good day. ::Turns and leaves::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::listens to the conversation still slightly confused:: CO: I see, ma'am. Must be fun.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Walks across the C&C center to take a spot over on the one side, to keep watch::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CMO: It is not.  :Syarta: Good day to you Syarta.  I will see you at the ceremony.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
Self: Someone of unknown origin has used an external device - also of unknown origin - to access the ODN lines of Abertura Sation, tapping into the sensor logs. Currently attempting to trace the signals destination.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: ::in a more stern manner than he usually uses: Excuse me, Captain.  Would I be able to speak with you in your office briefy?

CSO_Brock says:
::looks over his results:: Self: Hmmm, now do I dare call Ranuck into this?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CO: Well, ma'am. If I may I would like to go to Sickbay and take a look around.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Overhears the EO:: EO: We should get a security team on that, now.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::hears the word 'sickbay" and perks her ears::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::The Jem'Hadar First suddenly calls out:: CO: Captain.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::waits more, doing all he can to keep Jones's words bottled in and not blurt them out for all to hear::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CBO: Ehhh? Very well... :CMO: Go ahead, Doctor.  I do believe Dr Harris left the sickbay in fair shape.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Motions for Davis to proceed her into her office:: CBO: What is it, Lt?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CO: Thank you, ma'am. ::starts to walk to the Turbo Lift::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::Encrypting the file, he places his PADD down and begins to access the ODN line, checking the sensors that were accessed by the apparent "uplink" which originated at this point::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::trots after the CMO::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::see's the Captain motion, but also hears the course voice of a Jem'Hadar ring out through the Bridge as well::

CSO_Brock says:
::smiles:: *Ranuck*: I would like to discuss something with you, perhaps over a mug of bloodwine?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::walks into the Turbo Lift and then looks at the woman near him:: CIV: Hello there. ::smiles::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Something's come up in the preparations..

Host SM_Selan says:
<General Ranuck> *CSO* Eh? This I did not expect, but ah, a festive mood is all around. Certainly! You know my quarters?

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Walks over towards the EO, hoping to gather more relevant information::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
CMO: Hi, are you the new doctor?

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CIV: That would be me.

CSO_Brock says:
*Ranuck*: I'll be there a few minutes, General

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::smiles:: CMO: Hi! I'm Kiz ::reaches out her hand:: Nice to meet you.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::extends his hand:: CIV: I am Mike, nice to meet you as well.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Yokati:  What is it, First?

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::turns towards Yokati:

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::As he finishes his diagnostic, he returns the casing and picks up his PADD once more:: Self: It appears as if whoever accessed the sensors was tapping into logs from the Klingon Barracks, and exits G-A, and G-B...which I believe, are near the Klingon section of the station...

Host SM_Selan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: A Jem'Hadar cruiser has arrived in orbit. They are requesting permission to beam down their delegation.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::shakes the CMO's hand and twitches her tail:: CMO: So, where are you from?

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Hears the Jem'Hadar as well, and begins attempting to keep his attention on two things at once::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Uncomfortable at the news of a cruiser:: Yokati: Very well.  Permission granted and send a welcome as well.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: Yes, Captain. ::Sends response ... and then ...::

CSO_Brock says:
::rings the chime at General Ranuck's quarters::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CBO: This will have to wait, Mr Davis... Come with me to mee the Founder.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CIV: I am from Betazed. ::smiles:: I was just reassigned here after a medical leave, before working here I worked aboard the USS Triton as the Ship's Counselor.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Almost immediately, a series of transports occur in command and control, startling the Klingons enough that they draw their disruptors.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves out of her office and down the ramp, headed toward the transporter area behind the lift::

Host SM_Selan says:
<General Ranuck> ::Answers the CSO, the smell of pure, unadulterated, Klingon alcohol already on his breath. It appears he has been drinking for some time::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
CMO: Oh that's neat. ::twitches her tail happily::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::looks at many people materialize onto the Command/Control Center::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::stops dead in his tracks, confused by the transports::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Klingons: Hold your weapons... this is a diplomatic mission.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: An armed, yet holstered, guard of Jem'Hadar ... all Gamma Quadrant variations, stand by in a circular formation.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::His hand hovers over his weapon, not in response to the beaming, but to the Klingons::

CSO_Brock says:
::looks at the General:: Ranuck: You started without me, friend. ::smiles::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Klingons> ::Holster their disruptors, but stare at the arrivals. The Jem'Hadar, no matter from where, put them on edge::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::eases a bit and remains with the Captain::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
CIV: I guess it is. ::smies and looks down at his left leg:: I lost a leg during a mission and was finally given a new one.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::hops behind the CMO:: All: Eeek!

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::looks at everone wondering why they had to use transporters::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves toward the circle of J'H, but stops well outside their personal zones::

Host SM_Selan says:
<General Ranuck> ::Laughs heartily, slaps the CSO on the shoulder, and ushers him in:: CSO: I have been with the delegation from Qo'Nos. It was a long trip, and they were looking for a good time. I showed them one. ::Goes over to his barrel of bloodwine and fills a pint for him:: Now my domed friend, how may I be of assistance? ::Passes the drink::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::slowly follows the Captain, but remains behind her to make sure the visitors know she is the superior::

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Sizes the Jem'Hadar up and alerts the rest of Security to stand ready - they have arrived::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Jem'Hadar eye up all those in the surrounding area. Yokati'Clon leaves her post for the first time in a while and slowly, yet surprisingly gracefully, toward the Jem'Hadar group.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::As he writes down his thoughts into a logical reports, Ensign Jones makes his way back to the main lift, which he enters and uses to bring himself back up to the C&C level. As he exits the lift, he notices the new arrivals and freezes in place::

CSO_Brock says:
::takes the mug:: Ranuck: I'm afraid it's a bit of a story.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::sees Yokati away from her post... most unusual, but understandable considering...::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: A clear yet oddly chilling voice is heard in the air ... like whispers in the wind ... "Captain Thelsh, I see you have done much to change this station. None of us imagined the day when Starfleet and Klingon personnel would be operating hand in hand with Vorta and Jem'Hadar."

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::puts her hands on the CMO's shoulders, still hiding behind him::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Dramatically, from behind the parting Jem'Hadar, comes what they all expected ... but nonetheless weren't prepared for, a Founder. She/he/it is trailed by two Vorta. One male, one female.

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::feels the emotions in the CIV and lets her stay behind him as he watches curiously::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::caught somewhat breathless by the sight of the Founder, and realizes this is the first time he's personally seen one::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Founder> ::Almost glides across the floor, ignoring all the other "solids" in the area but focusing on the CO. It is as if no one else matters::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Having somehow gotten back into C & C without no one noticing, he is suddenly at the CO's side::

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Notifies security that a Founder is here::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::gulps::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::uses his mind to try and she what emotions he can gather from the Founder::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::The moment has arrived... to her relief, though the focus of the Founder is discerning:: Founder: Welcome to Abertura Station.... ::waits for a name::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at the Founder intensely, curious as to what the exchange between the Captain and the Founder will be like::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Founder> CO: I'm sure it is not part of diplomacy to have your telepaths probe delegates, no, Captain? ::the Founder states without looking at anyone in particular::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks around, wondering who in C&C is telepathic::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::stops with the probing and looks rather confused::

CSO_Brock says:
::takes a gulp of bloodwine:: Ranuck: I just need some information from you, friend. It appears that one of your warriors is a murderer.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Founder: Absolutly... though I am sure that probing may be to strong a word.  SF personnel are know for couriosity, and most have never met a 'founder' before.

Host SM_Selan says:
<General Ranuck> ::His cheerful mood turns serious:: CSO: That is a serious accusation, Mr. Brock. Murder is beyond the loss of honor.

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::As the formal discussions begin, he slowly makes his way towards the Chief Of Base Operations. As he does so, he locks eyes with Davis and nods once quickly::

CSO_Brock says:
Ranuck: That is why I came to you. I know you are a man of honor. ::takes a gulp of the bloodwine::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Founder> CO: There is an Earth saying that somehow made its way into the Great Link ... "curiosity killed the cat." ::It almost seems as if the Founder glanced at Kiz, but there is no proof::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at Jones obviously, but makes no obvious gestures and hopes that he understands the acknowledgement:

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Uh oh,  things got off to a rough start::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::waits for an oppertune moment to break away from the gathering in the C&C to speak with Jones::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::gulps and scrunches down behind the CMO::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Almost in utter joy, he moves forward to bow before the Founder:: Founder: Founder, it is my greatest pleasure to welcome you to Hais.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Founder: There are risks involved with curiosity, I can not deny.... ::antennea twitch at the interruption of Laevon::

EO_Ens_Jones says:
::Walking back to his Engineering console, he hopes that Davis will follow him to his post. He begins to open up standard diagnostics, and leaves his PADD - encrypted - on the display next to him::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Founder> ::Regards Laevon as if he were a bug to be squashed:: CO: Have quarters been prepared for me, Captain Thelsh? Your telepaths can probe all they like. It is not all that discomforting, but ultimately fruitless. My people exit on a level beyond you solids.

Sec_PO_Green says:
::Keeps from rolling his eyes at the Founder's comments - they can barely make a passable humanoid form::

Host SM_Selan says:
<General Ranuck> ::Walks to the side for a moment, in deep thought. He picks up his drink, and takes a sip:: CSO: I do not understand. Tell me what you know.

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::watches Jones trail away, but can't help to enjoy the sight of Laevon being all but ignored by his god::

CSO_Brock says:
::hands Ranuck a PADD::

CMO_LtJG_Lammel says:
::looks again over at the CIV and then continues to watch again::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::A bit of smugness creeps into her thoughts, at how Founder treats Laevon:: Founder: Lt Davis has prepared quarters for you and any staff you need... We will be happy to show them to you so that you may have time to.... Refresh.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::giggles at how the Founder treats Laevon then hides again::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Laevon> ::Does not look hurt at the Founder's actions ... although the feelings probably do exist within him::

CBO_LtJG_Davis says:
::steps forward, waiting to see if he should personally show the Founder and his/her/its delegation to their respective quarters::

Host SM_Selan says:

Okay, twelve hour time lapse. That'll put you into late afternoon / early evening. Everyone is getting settled in ... the ceremony is to begin the following day.

All the DNA / dagger evidence is pointing to a Klingon or Klingons being responsible for the murders.

The EO may have found more evidence in regard to the sensor log / network hackings as learned of by Jennifer Silver.

The CSO has most likely explained everything to General Ranuck, and the General has requested a meeting between him, the CSO and the CO for later that day ... in other words, the next mission.
There have been approximately eight determined Haisian victims over the course of the last year.
