CTO_Ryan says:
::on the Bridge at tactical station::
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::finishes his inventory in sickbay and heads to the bridge::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::in her office, finishing off the notes from her last session::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::on bridge, at her station, going over the incoming reports from Bergan::
SO_Neru says:
::checks on one of his experiments in SCI lab 1::
CTO_Ryan says:
::going over the files on the Bergan BioMedical Research facility::
SO_Neru says:
::makes a few notes on the growth of the microbes and picks up the PADD with information on the Bergan facility::
Host CO_Madred says:
::sitting in the Captain's chair:: FCO: Estimated time of arrival to Bergan II, Cadet?
CNS_Lorehani says:
::tossing the PADD onto her desk, she gets up and makes her way to the replicator.  Grabbing a coffee, milk extra sweet she returns to her desk and sits.  Turning her console towards her she brings up the psych profiles on the people involved.  Such as they are::
CTO_Ryan says:
::doesn't find anything that looks out of the ordinary.  Looks to the Captain:: CO: Sir, I have reviewed the files on the Bergan Research facility and everything looks to be in order and well within Federation parameters.
SO_Neru says:
::leaves the lab, reading the PADD, not really noticing any of the crew he passes::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::seeing nothing out of the ordinary she turns off her computer.  Taking a deep breath she decides its time to talk to the crew individually::
Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at Ryan:: CTO: All that without even looking at the facility? How do you know the records haven't been falsified?
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
<FCO_Steer> ::looks back to the Captain:: CO: 'Bout 10 minutes Sir
CNS_Lorehani says:
::pulling up her list of people, she scans the list to see who should be first.  A name catches her eye.  Tapping her console:: *CSO*: Cmdr, can you join me in my office for a few moments?
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I accessed the files directly through Starfleet Command.  I can only assume the security is in order.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::arrives on the bridge with a few PADDs in hand::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CNS*: Counselor?
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: Yes, Mister Ryan ... but you don't know that the logs submitted to Command were accurately filled out by the managers of the facility without looking at the facility. I can write bright shiny rosy reports all day long, that doesn't mean that life is actually bright shiny and rosy.
Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: Thank you Mister Steer.
CTO_Ryan says:
::nods to the Doctor as he enters the Bridge and walks past the tactical station::
CTO_Ryan says:
::ponders that idea a moment then nods:: CO: Acknowledged.  I will compare our records with those of the research facility upon our arrival, Sir.
SO_Neru says:
::sits at his console on the bridge, checking the sensors::
CNS_Lorehani says:
*CSO*: It’s the annual review of the crew Cmdr.  I've checked the records and the PG is due.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::looks around the bridge and tries to remember why he came::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CNS*: I am not surprised.  We are in range of Bergan and will be going down soon.  Perhaps we can set an appt for later.
Host CO_Madred says:
::sees Mister tr'Raedheol on the bridge:: MO: Did you have that report, Lieutenant?
SO_Neru says:
::makes a few notations and glances at his console again::
CTO_Ryan says:
::downloads the information from the main computer onto a PADD along with a list of the Federation regulations::
CNS_Lorehani says:
*CSO*: We are?  I didn't realize we were so close.  Ok I'll set something up when we are finished here.   ::turning off her comm she gets up.  Tossing the cup into the replicator to be recycled, she exits her office and heads for the bridge::
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::blinks and heads down to the command area:: CO: Captain... I do...  ::hands him one of the PADDs::  The prices of the medications have been steadily going up in this area of space due to normal supply and demand sir.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
CO: There were a few epidemics in the area... and the medicines were in high demand.
CTO_Ryan says:
::listens to the MO's report::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::riding the TL to the bridge, she is lost in thought over some information she has learned over the last couple days::
CSO_Tsalea says:
MO:  Then someone took advantage of the situation.  The owners?
Host CO_Madred says:
::takes the PADD and looks over the figures:: MO: And the cause of the epidemics?
CNS_Lorehani says:
::feeling the TL stop, the doors open in front of her.  Exiting she moves over to her chair and takes a seat::
SO_Neru says:
::listens to the conversation::
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, it might be a good idea to find out exactly what types of medications are produced from the base product the research facility produces.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::shrugs:: CO: Epidemics happen Captain... it is a normal occurrence.... on different planets ... different times.... The planets in this area simply had them at the same time. Statistically improbable.... but very possible
Host CO_Madred says:
::holds up the PADD in his hand:: CTO: Good thinking, Commander...
Host CO_Madred says:
MO: So you find nothing suspicious about the nature of these epidemics?
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I'll get on that right now, sir, although I'm no medical technician.  ::frowns and taps the console bringing up the information::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::listens closely to the conversation between the CO and MO::
Host CO_Madred says:
::tosses the PADD over the rear railing at Ryan:: CTO: I've got that right here, Commander.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
CO: Nothing at all Captain.
CTO_Ryan says:
::catches the PADD and taps the button comparing the information on the PADD to what the main computer lists::  CO: Thank you, sir.
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks at the MO:: MO: Hmm ... very well.
SO_Neru says:
::turns to Tsalea:: CSO: Ma'am, do you need me to pull some information you might need?
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: The information on this PADD matches what we show in our database, Sir.  It would seem there are a number of medications using the base products produced by the research facility.  Among them are Trioxiline, Voltaren, Lexurim, Dimethione and Hyronline II, errr...whatever these are, sir.
Host MO_tr`Raedheol says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene has the Bergan system on LRS
CSO_Tsalea says:
::scans the planet and area::
CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  Sir, have you given any thought where to hold the next phase of the negotiations.  I would recommend somewhere neutral.  Where nobody would perceive they have the upper hand.
Host CO_Madred says:
CTO: I'm sure Doctor tr'Raedheol can help you with that, Commander.
CTO_Ryan says:
::glances over at the LRS:: CO: I have the research facility on long-range sensors.
SO_Neru says:
::starts sifting through the data on LRS for something out of the ordinary::
Host MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::moves next to the CTO's console::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Nothing out of the ordinary on sensors.
CTO_Ryan says:
::hands the MO the PADD with the medications listed on it::  MO: If you can give us a brief description of these medications, it might reveal something, Doctor.
SO_Neru says:
::nods to himself as Tsalea reports::
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at Tsalea and sits back in his chair:: CTO: Hail the facility, Mister Ryan...
Host CO_Madred says:
CNS: I would think we'd be holding it onboard the Paula Greene, Counselor.
CTO_Ryan says:
::taps the console opening up a COM to the facility:: COM: Bergan BioMedical: This is the Federation starship USS Paula Greene, please respond.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::looks at the list:: CTO: I shall review them at once
CSO_Tsalea says:
::quietly::  SO:  If one where to define things here, beyond the strife, it would be normal.  It is unusual for things to be normal.  Perhaps you could search for something... not normal.
CTO_Ryan says:
MO: Thank you, Doctor.  Please send the descriptions to my console as soon as it is completed.
CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  I wonder if that is wise.  Although neutral ground and they did ask for our help, but it could look like we are taking over.
SO_Neru says:
::blinks at Tsalea's words, frowns a bit and works through the logic:: CSO: Aye, ma'am. I'll start delving through the data.
Host Director_Balmos says:
ACTION: An elderly skinny little man with antiquated glasses appears on the screen
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: The facility has responded, Sir.
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ ::looks up at the viewer:: COM: CTO: This is Director Balmos.... .::squints:: You folks got a Captain ?
CTO_Ryan says:
::looks to the Captain waiting for him to stand and tug on his uniform::
Host CO_Madred says:
CNS: We are taking over, Counselor...
Host CO_Madred says:
::stands from his chair and tugs on his uniform:: COM: Balmos: Director, this is Captain Madred of the Paula Greene.
CTO_Ryan says:
::grins::
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Balmos: We're responding to your request for a neutral arbiter in your trade dispute...
SO_Neru says:
::works the statement over again and starts looking for holes to poke in the report and scans::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::deals with a list of requests from science department and medical for some of the products since if they could::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::turns her attention to the screen and watches the interplay between the Capt and the Director::
SO_Neru says:
::mumbles loud enough for Tsalea to hear:: Self: Perhaps hacking their computers would give what we need.
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ ::nods:: COM: CO: How you doing Cap? ::squints:: You have a great reputation... I'm glad Starfleet sent you... your temper is just what I could use in dealing with this dispute Captain
CTO_Ryan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Director's comment about the Captain's temper.  First the MO comments on his weight gain and now a complete stranger comments on his temper.  Cringes::
Host Director_Balmos says:
<MO_tr`Raedheol> ::sends the descriptions for each medications to the CTO's console::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::her antenna's twitch a bit::  Self:  What does he think?  The PG is here to yell at them so the Director can have his way?
CSO_Tsalea says:
SO:  Request the information first and see if it correlates with what we have so far.  If it does not, then that is a... consideration.
Host CO_Madred says:
::raises an eyebrow and glances at the Counselor:: COM: Balmos: I'm not here to beat anyone up, Director...
CTO_Ryan says:
::looks at the information sent by the MO scrolling on her display screen::
SO_Neru says:
::glances up, looking a bit embarrassed:: CSO: Uhm, I was just thinking aloud. You weren't supposed to hear that.
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ ::chuckles:: COM: CO: I would... but that's my personal opinion.... you think I could twist your arm into coming down yerself with a big stick Cap?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::raises an eyebrow at Neru, then nods and turns back to her work::
Host CO_Madred says:
::coughs and straightens up:: COM: Balmos: We'll be sending representatives from the Paula Greene to meet with all three factions in this dispute, Director. Could you send the coordinates for meeting with the other faction leaders?
SO_Neru says:
::grins as he turns to his console again, setting up the request to access the facility's computers, and waits for an opportune time to send it::
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ COM: CO: Cap... we've got a meeting hall all set up with everyone for ya
CTO_Ryan says:
::downloads the medication descriptions onto a PADD for later review.  Is having a difficult time pronouncing some of the names of the medications::
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ COM: CO: I was also wondering if you ::points:: could lead the team
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ ::squints and stares at the rest of the bridge::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::finds it interesting that the Director is so insistent in the Capt beaming down::
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: COM: Balmos: I see ... well, I guess we can just get ready to beam down then. Is there anything else we need to know first?
CTO_Ryan says:
::decides to send the information to the SO.  Perhaps he might be able to make heads or tails of it::
CTO_Ryan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the thought of the Captain transporting down into a possibly hostile situation::
SO_Neru says:
::frowns as data starts flowing onto his screen, glances over at Ryan and grins to himself::
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ COM: CO: Nothing much.... just that they’re an 'ornery bunch with all sorts of crazy and unreasonable demands... All the owners want is profit... and all the workers want is less work .... this'll be a fun time
CTO_Ryan says:
::looks at the skinny man squinting on the view screen and thinks: Looks like he could use come of these meds.  Looks at the PADD::
SO_Neru says:
::blinks at some of the names and starts running searches through the database::
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Balmos: I see ... then we'll be beaming down shortly.
SO_Neru says:
::waits for the CO to finish his call::
Host Director_Balmos says:
@ COM: CO: Thanks again Cap.... ::squints:: Balmos out .
CTO_Ryan says:
::waits for the COM to be deactivated before speaking to the Captain::
Host CO_Madred says:
All: I wonder why they squint so much...
CSO_Tsalea says:
::moving over to Neru, pulls up a data file with the list and what they do, then turns to walk over to the command chair, standing behind it::
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, I must insist you do not transport down to the facility.  This situation could escalate into a hostile situation.
SO_Neru says:
::glances as Tsalea pulls up a file, sighs and turns to the captain:: CO: Sir, I'd like to send a request to the facility to access their computers, there are some ideas I'd like to follow up on.
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks at Ryan:: CTO: I had no intention of beaming down by myself, Commander. Get your favorite phaser and tag along.
Host CO_Madred says:
All: That goes for the rest of you too ... transporter room one, in five minutes.
CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I suggest instead we bring the representatives aboard where we can better control the situation.
CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  Sir, I have to agree with Cmdr Ryan.  The Director's insistence that you be the quadrant bully is kinda disturbing.  He may manufacture a situation where you have to show some muscle.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  I take it there is a change of orders and those of us intended to go down, now will not?
SO_Neru says:
::blinks:: Self: All of us?
CTO_Ryan says:
::frowns::  CO: Aye, Sir.  ::grips her phaser and checks the settings and makes her way to the turbolift tapping her COM badge as she enters:: *Security*: Have a two-man security team report to transporter room 1 on the double.
Host CO_Madred says:
CSO: Everyone available will join us, Tsalea. CTO/CNS: These are only preliminary talks ... we'll talk to them on their own territory and then consider moving things here.
CTO_Ryan says:
<Security> *CTO*: Acknowledged.
SO_Neru says:
::transfers some notes to his PADD and gets up from his seat::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::stands up and double checks her weapons.  Waits patiently for the Capt::
Host MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::looks at the CO and wonders if he is included::
SO_Neru says:
::checks his regulation weapons and pats the hidden ones surreptitiously::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*XO*:  Commander, a team will be beaming down to the planet, your presence is requested on the bridge.
Host CO_Madred says:
::waves tr'Raedheol towards the turbolift::
CTO_Ryan says:
::since no one is entering the turbolift she decides to go on ahead to the transporter room::
CTO_Ryan says:
TL: Transporter Room One.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::as soon as she gets Tealk’s response, she takes up her kit and joins the others in the TL::
SO_Neru says:
::joins the rest in the TL::
Host MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::stands at the turbolift entrance and waits for the next car to arrive::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::makes her way over to the TL::
CTO_Ryan says:
::exits the turbolift and walks across the corridor into transporter room one.  Sees the two security crewman have arrived and has them check their phasers::
CTO_Ryan says:
::quickly briefs the security team to possible situations that might arise, preparing them for the beam down::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Do you have anything specific in mind at the moment beyond hearing each of their sides?
Host CO_Madred says:
::steps into the next car with the medical officer::
Host CO_Madred says:
::thinks about:: CSO: Aside from hearing the various sides to this debate ... perhaps ... dinner?
SO_Neru says:
::gets into the TL with everybody and presses against the wall::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::squeezes in the TL::
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::stands in the turbolift and looks from the CO to the CSO to the SO and to the CNS also::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::raises and eyebrow::  CO:  Dinner afterwards sounds good.
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CSO: Dinner it is... TL: Transporter Room one...
SO_Neru says:
::grins over at Lorehani, sees tr'Raedheol looking around and raises an eyebrow::
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::nods to the SO::
CTO_Ryan says:
::begins pacing in the transporter room wondering what is keeping the rest of the away team.  Motions for the two security men to get onto the transporter pads::
SO_Neru says:
::nods back at the MO and wishes the trip to be over::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::as the TL stops, waits for those in front to leave first... hint::
Host CO_Madred says:
::steps out of the turblift and heads down the corridor towards the transporter room::
CTO_Ryan says:
::walks to the wall locker and grabs a tricorder, holstering it into her belt then climbs onto the transporter pad::
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::exits turbolift and heads to the left.... the transporter room being on the right he backtracks and follows the rest of the group::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::exits the TL and goes down the hall and enters the TR::
SO_Neru says:
::follows the captain down the corridor into the TR::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::follows along::
Host CO_Madred says:
::steps through the doors into the transporter room:: CTO: Are you ready yet?
CTO_Ryan says:
::looks up as the doors to the transporter room slide open:: CO: Aye, Sir.  We're ready.
MO_tr`Raedheol says:
::follows the group and steps in the TR::
Host CO_Madred says:
::steps up onto the transporter pad and waits for the others to take their places::
SO_Neru says:
::walks over to the pad and gets on, standing to the rear::
CNS_Lorehani says:
::steps onto the Pad and waits::
CTO_Ryan says:
::moves up to the front pad next to the Captain::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::turns around beside the captain as she takes a pad::
Host CO_Madred says:
TR Chief: Energize Mister Fizzer...
