Last time, on ACTD: Paula Greene...

Host ScottB says:
The crew met with various representatives of the Bergan facility, including workers, managers, and owners. Discussions were upbeat, and preparations are now underway aboard the PG to host negotiations

Host ScottB says:
An autopsy on Director Balmos's body is about to be held, to determine if there was any foul play in his sudden death.

::Walks into Sickbay holding a PADD in her left hand::

FCO_Panthera says:
::sitting at flight control monitoring the orbit::

Host CO_Madred says:
::standing in the Observation Lounge reading over a PADD::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sitting on his chair in the Observation Lounge::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::In sickbay, looking over the medical report, the body of Balmos lying beside her::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::In the back of the Observation Lounge, coffee in hand going over her notes::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at the Executive Officer:: XO: Is everything ready for the various representatives to beam aboard at 1000 hours?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Spots the CSO standing next to a biobed in surgical bay one and moves to her location::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CO : Yes sir.. I've arranged that they be beamed up by different TRs, so that they don't meet up until they enter this room.

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks up at the CTO with a nod::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Notices a couple slight errors and quickly taps her PADD making the corrections::

XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: We’ll hopefully avoid any incidents on other parts of the ship.

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: Hello, Commander.  I'm here to assist you with the autopsy.  ::Looks a bit bewildered due to the fact she doesn't know a thing about performing an autopsy::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: XO: Good thinking ... where is the Counselor, anyway?

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Still distracted she barely hears the Capt, she raises her hand.:: CO:  I'm in the back Sir.

XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles::

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns to the Counselor:: CNS: Oh, I didn't see you there. Are there any further preparations you feel need to be made?

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: What can I do to assist you?

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  There is not much that needs to be done.  The toxicology reports are back.  He died from prolonged exposure from various drugs.  He was also either using or using himself as a tester for some.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Thinks for a moment.::  CO:  I don't think so.   I've got several of my staff meeting with each delegate team as they beam aboard.  They are going to make some initial observations and report them to me before we begin.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CNS: Good... ::taps his combadge:: *FCO*: Have the Bergan people indicated when they will be beaming aboard?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks a bit shocked:: CSO: The question is "why" did he use himself as a guinea pig?

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Actually, it is not unusual for people in the medical field to test upon themselves.  While they are forbidden to use others, there is no law about using themselves.

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: Does the report state what the saturation rate of the drugs was in his system?

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Double checks with Rochon and Toran who are waiting in the TR for the delegates::

Host CO_Madred says:
::raises an eyebrow and glances at the XO:: XO: What is Panthera doing, using the Flight Controls as her own personal hi-fi system? ::taps his combadge again:: *FCO*: Respond please, Mister Panthera.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  There is no indication of foul play, however, until things are finalized here, nothing is ruled out.  As for the levels, they are not currently high, mainly residual.

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: And do we have an analysis on these drugs that shows what the dissipation rate is once administered?

XO_Amendoeira says:
::taps fingers on table:: CO: Sir... What kind of resources has Starfleet given us to work with in this negotiation? They seem to be expecting some resources to "break" the crisis.

FCO_Panthera says:
*CO*: I am right here sir.

XO_Amendoeira says:
::shrugs::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Only if Balmos kept a strict record of his work.

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: I'm trying to find out how long he had been using himself as a guinea pig.

Snith says:
@COM: PG: I am ready to beam aboard now.

Host CO_Madred says:
::hears Panthera finally reply:: *FCO*: Mister Panthera, have the Bergan's indicated when they'll be beaming aboard?

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: Perhaps we should conduct a through search of all of the director's records, logs, etc.

FCO_Panthera says:
*CO*: Aye sir I am working on that right now. Snith has indicated he is ready to beam up.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Indications seem to suggest he has been doing so for a long time.  Various parts of his internal organs are damaged from use.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Agreed.

Host CO_Madred says:
XO: We'll be offering them a secured loan from the Federation Council to cover the long term costs of adding an additional facility. It is the hope of the Council that this loan will bring them all back to the negotiating table, as all three group seem torn over whether to build the additional facility or not.

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: I see.  ::Taps her PADD making notes::  Okay, I will inform the Captain and obtain permission to beam back down to the planet.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Do you wish my presence?

XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods::

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: If you are not busy with something more important, yes.  It would help if we had someone with us that could decipher the notes and logs, medical jargon, you know?  ::Smiles::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO: Understood.

CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  Sir, has the Council done an accounting of what this facility spends its money on?  Maybe a loan would just aggravate the situation if the money doesn't go to let’s say hiring more workers?

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: We might also want to request samples of all the drugs they have manufactured in the past two years for analysis.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Places the Padd she was looking at onto the table and looks up::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *CO*: Ryan to Captain Madred.

FCO_Panthera says:
*CO*: Sir permission to beam Snith up now?

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  I believe samples were sent to medical.  One moment while I verify that.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CSO while she waits for a response from the Captain::

Host CO_Madred says:
::takes a seat at the table, but not his usual one:: CNS: Each group argues one way or the other whether the facility is needed. The Managers and Workers feel it is while the Administrators feel the long term costs don't justify it. If we offset those long-term costs, along with guaranteeing continued of use their products then the concern vaporizes

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Leaves the room for main sickbay to ask one of the medical personnel::

Host CO_Madred says:
*FCO*: Permission granted, Panthera ... which group does he represent?

Host CO_Madred says:
::sighs and taps his combadge again:: *CTO*: Go ahead, Commander.

FCO_Panthera says:
*CO*: One of the managers sir.

CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  I hope so Sir and normal situations that would be correct, but if the rumors of Mr. Balmos death are correct, I have to wonder...

Host CO_Madred says:
CNS: Rumors are often just that ... rumors. That's why I have Tsalea and Ryan conducting an autopsy right now. ::looks at the XO wondering what he's trying to say::

CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  Maybe an independent accounting firm thrown into the bargain that way nobody can cry favoritism.

FCO_Panthera says:
COM: Snith: Prepare to beam aboard. ::sends message to the transporter chief to beam Snith aboard::

CTO_Ryan says:
*CO*: Sir, initial autopsy reports indicate the director died of natural causes accelerated by the usage of unapproved drugs produced in the facility.  I would like to beam back to the facility to search the Directors notes and logs.

Host CO_Madred says:
CNS: Yes ... perhaps we should get Quark Anderson on the line. ::thinks about it::

Host CO_Madred says:
XO: What do you think about that, Tealk?

Snith says:
@::feels the transporter take hold and beam him up::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at the Counselor:: CNS: I assume Commander Ryan is also having security meet the representatives as they arrive?

XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: It’s a definite possibility sir... I don't think it would do any harm.

CNS_Lorehani says:
CNS:  I’d be very surprised if she didn't.

Snith says:
::steps off the transporter looking around:: Self: Impressive I guess...

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran>  Snith:  Welcome aboard the PG Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
XO: I'm not overly anxious to be sending people down to the surface while we're in the middle of negotiations... ::taps his combadge:: *CTO*: Go ahead, Commander ... but try to be 'discreet' about it.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> ::Steps up beside Toran::

Snith says:
Toran: Thank you now if you would take me to where I need to be...

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Thanking the doctor, she heads back into the autopsy area.::

CTO_Ryan says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.  Commander Tsalea will be accompanying me.  I will inform you when we have returned.  Ryan, out.  ::Turns to the CSO::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> Snith:  Of course sir.  ::Nods to the security standing at the back to follow::  If you would just follow me Sir.  ::Turns and heads out of the TR::

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: We have permission to beam back down to the facility, Commander.

Host CO_Madred says:
::grimaces, even less thrilled about his wife beaming down::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::chuckles:: CO : I was talking about Quark Anderson... As far as Commander Ryan goes... Let her have some fun.. ::chuckles::

Snith says:
::follows Toran taking in everything to be seen on the way::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> ::Taps his Combadge.:: *CNS*:  Ma'am, Snith is on board we are escorting him to the OL now.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  And medical is pulling up the information they have on the samples acquired.

CNS_Lorehani says:
*Toran*: Very well, I'll inform the Capt.  ::looks at the Capt::

CTO_Ryan says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Sir.  Shall we head down to the transporter room, then?

CNS_Lorehani says:
CO:  Mr. Snith is being brought to the OL as we speak.

Host CO_Madred says:
*FCO*: If you have a moment, Panthera, I'd like you to fill in with your old role as Tactical Officer and escort the next group of delegates to the Observation Lounge.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CNS: Very well... ::rises from his seat and moves to the head of the table::

Host Horent says:
@ COM: Paula Greene: Paula Greene, this is Administrator Horent. My delegation is ready to come aboard.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Picks up the rest of her PADDs then joins the XO and Capt near the front of the lounge::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Leaving sickbay, informs one of the doctors they are done with Balmos and to prepare to send him back to his family.  Grabs a medical kit to add to her normal items and nods to the CTO that she is ready::

FCO_Panthera says:
*CO*: Aye sir. ::stands up turning flight control over:: Lt. Noname: You have the bridge.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> ::Enters the TL with Snith and the security guard.::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up, waiting for the first delegates::

FCO_Panthera says:
COM: Horent: We will beam you up shortly.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> Snith:  So Mr. Snith, what is it exactly that you do?

FCO_Panthera says:
::enters the TL and heads for the TR::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Pulls the phaser from her belt and checks the charge.  Satisfied it is fully charged she returns it to her holster then looks to the CSO::  CSO: Ready, Sir.  ::Heads out of Sickbay to the turbolift::

Snith says:
Toran: Just one of the managers trying to keep things running smooth. ::enters the TL::

Host Horent says:
@ ::blinks... grumbles... stands around waiting, his other team members looking at him with a "what's going on?" look::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps the control pad next to the turbolift door then steps in, holding the door for the CSO::

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  You have any thoughts on the situation?

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> ::Smiles::  Snith:  Not just any manager though otherwise you wouldn't be involved with these negotiations.

FCO_Panthera says:
::exits the TL at the TR and enters...nods at the chief to beam up Horent and his team...turns and faces the pad waiting for them::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> ::Feels the TL stop and the doors open::

Snith says:
::watches the doors open::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran>  Snith:  The lounge is just down the hall.  Please follow me.

Snith says:
::nods and follows Toran::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran>  ::exits the lift and proceeds down the hall thinking that Snith is not a talkative fellow::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Watches as the turbolift doors close::  TL: Transporter room one.  ::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Well, according to your autopsy findings, he died of natural causes accelerated by heavy drug usage, however I like to be thorough and examining the records might yield a clue to possible foul play.

FCO_Panthera says:
<TR Chief> ::activates the transporters bringing up the remaining delegates::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods:: CTO:  Agreed.

XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Here we go... How do you want to handle this?

Host CO_Madred says:
::grimaces and straightens his uniform:: XO: Depends ... you have a phaser on you?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to the turbolift doors as they open and walks out and across the corridor to transporter room one::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Toran> ::Stops in front of the OL as the doors swish open and enters.  Looks around::  CO:  Sir, may I introduce Mr. Snith....  ::looks to make sure he followed him in.::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::checks his pockets:: CO : Alas, no... But I’m sure Cmdr. Ryan would gladly accommodate your request.. ::grins::

Snith says:
::follows Toran into the room and nods as the introductions are made::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::As the doors close behind them, she steps up to the platform and turns to see the transporter chief::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods to Mister Snith:: Snith: Welcome aboard the Paula Greene, Mister Snith. I am Captain Madred ... this is my Executive Officer Commander Amendoeira and the Ship's Counselor, Mister Lorehani.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Turns and looks at the newcomers::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods at Mr. Snith::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters transporter room one and nods to the transporter chief:: Chief: Beam us down to Director Balmos' office, please.  ::Steps up on the transporter pad::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods as his name is called out::

Snith says:
CO: Thank you for hosting the talks. I am sure we can come up with something useful from all of this.

Host CO_Madred says:
::waves for them all to have a seat:: Snith: While we wait for the other representatives could I offer you anything ... a drink or something to eat perhaps?

Host Horent says:
::looks at the Transporter Chief, obviously not seeing the captain or his assistant:: Chief: Where am I to proceed to, sir?

XO_Amendoeira says:
::sits down::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods to Toran as he sends her a message on her pad.::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to the CSO on the pad:: CSO: Ready, Sir?

FCO_Panthera says:
::steps up:: Horent: If you will follow me I am to take you to the Captain.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  Yes.

Snith says:
::takes the seat:: CO: No thank you I am fine. I am sure the others will be along shortly.

Host Horent says:
::blinks:: FCO: Alrightee then...

Host CO_Madred says:
Snith: Yes, I understand from my bridge crew that Mister Horent has just beamed aboard ... so the others should be along shortly.

CTO_Ryan says:
<Transporter Chief in TR1> ::Nods to the CTO indicating he's locked in the correct coordinates and waits for the signal to energize::

FCO_Panthera says:
::turns motioning to security to follow along and heads for the TL:: Horent: This way sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
Snith: I understand that you represent the Managers, is that correct?

CTO_Ryan says:
Chief: Energize.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Settles down and listens to the conversation around her.::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Dematerializes and rematerializes in Director Balmos' office::

Snith says:
CO: That is correct.

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Looks around the area, then proceeds to his desk, the most logical place to start.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Quickly moves around the office to secure it.  Satisfied the room is secure, turns to the CSO:: CSO: The room is secure, Sir.  We can access this terminal.  ::Points::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: Snith: Excellent ... and Mister Horent represents the Administrators. So we only wait upon the Workers representative at this point. Do you know whom that will be?

FCO_Panthera says:
::walks to the TL and holds the door open for the others to enter::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  We should be able to, if he did not encrypt his work.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves over to a file cabinet in the corner as the CSO accesses the terminal on the director's desk::

Host Horent says:
::quietly follows the FCO::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Picks up an old lab book near the computer and opens it, scanning the pages.::

Snith says:
CO: Possibly Adams, I believe he is the current elected representative of the workers.

Adams says:
@ COM: PG: Paula Greene this is the representative of the workers union permission to transport up?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Tries to open up one of the file cabinet drawers but finds the cabinet locked::  CSO: This cabinet is locked.

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::With a nod, access the computer, imputing the password written in the cover of the book.::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon>  ::Paces in the TR waiting for the last of the delegates.::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Hands the book to the CTO::  CTO:  There is a good chance it is in this book.

FCO_Panthera says:
<TR Chief> ::activates the transporter beaming Adams onboard::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon>  ::Hears the TR activate and stops pacing.  With his hands behind his back he faces the transporter.::

Adams says:
::feels the transporter take hold dematerializes and rematerializes on the Paula Greene::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Takes the book with a puzzled look on her face::  CSO: The key to open the cabinet is in this book?  ::Looks at the book in her hand::

FCO_Panthera says:
::rides the TL in quiet taking the group to the OL...quietly surveys the group and doesn't "see" anything amiss about them::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::As the information flows across the screen, she reads each section briefly, going through the files.  As she does so, she sends an upload to the ship for further study of his work.::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> ::Sees someone materialize::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  He has all of his passwords and key sequences in there.

Adams says:
::steps off the transporter pad looking around::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> Adams:  Welcome aboard the Paula Greene, I'm Ens. Rochon.

FCO_Panthera says:
::exits the TL and escorts Horent and his group to the OL...opens the door coming to attention:: CO: Administrator Horent and his group. ::steps to the side letting them enter::

Host CO_Madred says:
::rises from his seat and sees Horent has brought an entire delegation:: Horent: Welcome aboard the Paula Greene, Mister Horent. We've of course met ... this is my Executive Officer, Commander Amendoeira, and the Ship's Counselor, Mister Lorehani.

Adams says:
Rochon: Thank you would you be kind enough to show me to the meeting?

XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises after the Captain::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Opens the book and sees a series of numbers:: CSO: Ah, I see.  Not very cleaver leaving your key codes inside a book.  ::Tries tapping in a sequence of codes into the control pad on the side of the cabinet::

Snith says:
::looks up as Horent and the others enter::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> Adams:  Of course Sir, if you would just follow me.  ::Nods to the security::  Everyone else is waiting.

Host CO_Madred says:
Horent: I hope you'll understand that in these negotiations we're forced to only allow one representative from each group ... the size of the table alone restricts this. ::smiles and waves at the table::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods at Horent::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  Many scientists think of the expediency, especially if they are forgetful in some areas.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon>  ::Exits the TR with the small group in tow.::

Host CO_Madred says:
Panthera: Mister Panthera, please escort the rest of Mister Horent's delegation back to the transporter ... only Mister Horent will be remaining with us.

Host CO_Madred says:
<Horent> ::reluctantly agrees, and dismisses his underlings::

Adams says:
::follows Rochon::

FCO_Panthera says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::turns leaving the room with the others in tow::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Okay, this code seems to work.  ::Puts the book down on the top of the cabinet then opens the top drawer::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<rochon> ::Enters the TL:: Computer: OBservation Lounge.

Host CO_Madred says:
::introduces Horent to Snith:: Horent: I presume you've met Mister Snith ... he is the Managers delegate.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> Adams: So how long have you been at this facility?

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  I think I have enough information here that suggests that he was experimenting on various combinations to make more effective medicines.  Occasionally he went too far with some of the combinations, coming close to death.  That would correlate with the damage seen in the autopsy.

Snith says:
::nods:: CO: Horent and I have met briefly.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Pulls out a large narrow box and sets it on one of the tables::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: All: Good ... then we all know each other.

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::As the computer continues the upload, she walks over to the CTO to see what she has found.::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::rolls eyes at Jafo's comment::

Adams says:
Rochon: Around 9 years give or take a few days.

Host CO_Madred says:
::sees a steward come in with a jug of water and glasses which are placed in the center of the table:: All: Please ... feel free to have a drink while we wait for Mister Adams, the workers representative.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Look what I found.  ::Tries to open the metal box but it's locked::  It's locked too.

FCO_Panthera says:
::escorts the remaining members of the Admin's group to the TL and waits for them to be beamed back down::

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon>  ::Smiles::  Adams: Long time in one job.  I hope I'll be so lucky.

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Reaches over for the book and looks for a code for the black box::  CTO:  I don't see anything here.  Let me check around his desk.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> ::The TL stops and doors open.:: Adams:  We are almost there.  It’s just down the hall.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Okay.  ::Fiddles with the mechanism on the box::

Host CO_Madred says:
Snith: I'm curious Mister Snith, did you know Director Balmos well?

Adams says:
::steps off the TL:: Rochon: Then shall we?

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> ::Proceeds down the hall until they reach and door and it swishes opened.::

FCO_Panthera says:
::shakes head and turns heading back to the bridge trying not to let her nails tap the floor plates in agitation::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Stands back.:: Adams:  After you Sir.

Adams says:
::follows Rochon down the hall turns and enters to OL as the doors open::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Searching through the clutter on the desk, finds a small drawer hidden towards the back.  Opening it, she pulls out an old key.  With a raised eyebrow, hands it to the CTO::  CTO:  Perhaps this?

Snith says:
CO: Depends on how you mean well...I knew him and spoke with him. As for spending time with him no I didn't.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: That might do it.

CNS_Lorehani says:
<Rochon> ::Enters the Room.::  CO:  Sir, May I present Mister Adams, the Workers Representative.

XO_Amendoeira says:
::Gets up as the last representative comes in::

Host CO_Madred says:
::taps his combadge:: *FCO*: Mister Panthera ... once you have returned to the bridge please set course for Bergan IX. ::smiles at the delegates:: All: Just a security precaution ... I understand their is a stellar phenomena around Began IX that shouldn't be missed.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods to Rochon as he sends her a message on her PADD.  Rochon turns and exits the OL.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Takes the old key and inserts it into the lock on the box:: CSO: That's it!  ::Smiles then opens up the box and sees several glass tubes with substances in them::

FCO_Panthera says:
::taps combadge:: *CO*: Aye sir. I should be there presently. ::enters the TL requesting the bridge::

Host CO_Madred says:
::rises and greets Adams:: Adams: Welcome aboard the Paula Greene, Mister Adams. I am Captain Madred ... this is Commander Amendoeira, the ship's Executive Officer, and Mister Lorehani, the ship's Counselor. Please, have a seat.

Snith says:
CO: So we are to be watching a stellar phenomenon?

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Nods and smiles at the last delegate::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: More drugs?

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  Some of his test samples perhaps.  ::Reaching into the box, pulls out various forms with memos on them::

Adams says:
CO: Thank you captain. ::takes a seat looking around at the rest of the faces::

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles at Snith:: Snith: We are to be avoiding interruptions. ::turns to Adams:: Adams: I presume you know Mister Snith, the Managers Representative and Mister Horent the Administrators Representative?

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Reading through them, she picks up another, then another::  CTO:  These are documentation of complaints from the workers.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves back to the cabinet while the CSO checks out the contents of the box.  Opens up another drawer::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Settles back into her chair and begins her observations.::

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Complaints?  What specifically are the complaints about?

Snith says:
::shakes head and looks at Adams and nods::

Adams says:
CO: Yes captain. ::nods to Snith::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  The complaints seem to settle around some of the newer products and production methods.  They felt they were dangerous even though the studies apparently said the products at least where safe.

Host CO_Madred says:
All: Excellent then ... we can commence the negotiations.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks into the drawer and finds several smaller boxes, all filled with tubes of substances:: CSO: More drugs.  ::Pulls all the smaller boxes out of the drawer and sets them on the counter top with the other box::

Host CO_Madred says:
All: Now, as I understand it the chief concern in this matter ... the issue that has divided these three groups ... is whether or not to build a third facility. The workers and managers are for it, while the Administrators are against it. Is this correct?

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Well, obviously they weren't safe.

FCO_Panthera says:
::exits on the bridge:: Wrongway: Break orbit and set course for Bergan IX.

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  I would like to take them back with us.  We can give them back to their legal owners later.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Crosses her legs and begins to take notes::

CSO_Tsalea says:
@CTO:  Balmos tried out many of the drugs.  Some may have worked, but it would seem some did not.

FCO_Panthera says:
<Wrongway> FCO: Aye sir, breaking orbit and course laid in for Bergan IX. ::goes about the business of moving the ship to the desired area::

Snith says:
CO: That is correct.

Adams says:
CO: The administration is against anything that affects their bottom line.

CTO_Ryan says:
@CSO: Agreed.  ::Closes the large box, then stacks the smaller boxes on top.  Picks up the boxes and taps her COM badge:: *Transporter Room One*: Ryan to transporter room one.  Two to beam up.

Host CO_Madred says:
All: I want to stress, first, that the Paula Greene's role in this is only a stop-gap measure. I am only here to ensure that you three groups start talking about ... we are not here to completely solve your issues, just to make them easier to talk about.

Host CO_Madred says:
<Horent> CO: It could be seen that way...

CSO_Tsalea says:
@::Taking the little black book in hands, shuts down the computer and stands next to the pile of items::

CTO_Ryan says:
<Transporter Room One> *CTO*: Acknowledged.  ::Slides his fingers across the console::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Dematerializes and rematerializes in transporter room one::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and smiles at Adams:: All: Now then ... Counselor Lorehani has suggested than an independent accounting firm ... specifically Quark Anderson ... be brought into the situation to conduct an analysis of the true effect a third facility will have on your bottom line.

CSO_Tsalea says:
CTO:  If you will take the information we have gathered to the captain, I will see that these items are taken to sickbay and science for further study.

Snith says:
CO: And just how long is that going to take...this has been going on too long already.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CSO and hands her the smaller boxes:: CSO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
All: Provided that they see no significant issues ... the Federation Council has authorized me to offer the Bergan Biomedical Research Facility a secured loan to offset the cost of a third facility. Furthermore, I am prepared to guarantee that the Federation will continue to purchase your goods, at their current level of production.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Steps off the transporter pad then heads out of the transporter room to a turbolift::

CNS_Lorehani says:
Snith:  A competent Accounting Firm can get through the books in a matter of days.  Provided all the information is there.

Host CO_Madred says:
All; ...for a period no less than five years. Do you feel this will satisfy your immediate concerns?

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Tucking the small box under her arm, she requests the transporter chief to lend her a hand.::

Snith says:
::nods:: CNS: Well if the information isn't there you can look towards the Administrators. I can assure you the managers keep their stuff in order.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at the Counselor:: Snith: My own projections suggest construction could begin on a preliminary basis within the week.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stops at the turbolift and taps the control pad::

CNS_Lorehani says:
Snith:  I'm sure nobody is trying to hide anything.  ::Smiles::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::The two of the carefully gather up the items and head for the main science labs.::

Snith says:
CO: Well I have nothing to hide so I vote to bring in the auditors. ::looks around at the others::

Host CO_Madred says:
<Horent> Snith: It's a good offer. CO: I'd be happier if you could guarantee current production levels for .... Ten years, Captain.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at Horent:: Adams: What do you think of this offer, Mister Adams?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stops a second, looking up to the ceiling then taps her COM badge:: *CSO*: Ryan to Commander Tsalea.

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CTO*:  Tsalea here.

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Places the items on the table and nods her thanks to the transporter chief.::

Adams says:
CO: Bring in the auditor. ::looks to Horent:: Especially if it will give us the new facility.

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles at Adams and nods:: Horent: We'll say ... six years, and that is my final offer.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CSO*: Sorry to disturb you, Sir, but in your analysis of the newly found drugs, can you run a comparison to the samples we gathered on our previous visit to the facility and check for any differences in composition?

CSO_Tsalea says:
*CTO*:  It will take some time, but yes.

FCO_Panthera says:
Wrongway: Take us into a synchronous orbit. ::taps combadge:: *CO*: We are currently entering orbit around Bergan IX.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Sir.  ::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge::

Host CO_Madred says:
<Horent> ::grimaces:: CO: You drive a hard bargain, Captain Madred ... very well, if the workers and managers both feel this is a good idea, I won't stand in the way of progress.

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles and rises from his chair:: All: Wonderful ... Quark Anderson should have a vessel here within two days. They will commence the audit and, if everything looks good, construction will begin on the new facility within the week.

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Nods to her staff.  As they surround the area, she sends various samples off with different groups.::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns somewhat:: Self: This is too easy...

Host CO_Madred says:
Snith: Now then Mister Snith ... perhaps you'd like to take a look at that stellar phenomena. ::points out the window as they arrive at Bergan IX::

Snith says:
::turns looking out the window still confused at how easily this went about::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves to the tactical station and relieves the TO that is there.  Notes the CO is in the middle of negotiations and decides now is not the time to make her report::

Host CO_Madred says:
All: This meeting is adjourned ... I'm sure the three of you have more to discuss, but I don't feel the Federation should be involved in the lower level discussions. And I'm sure Mister Adams would like to communicate this big win to his fellow workers so we will make a Com panel available to you. XO/CNS: Come with me, please... ::heads out::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::With orders given, heads for the bridge::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::Gets up and follows the Capt out of the OL::

XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up::

FCO_Panthera says:
::stands up and looks at the CTO:: CTO: Sir the bridge is yours.

CTO_Ryan says:
FCO: Thank you, Lt.

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps out onto the bridge:: CNS/XO: That was easier than I expected ... chalk one up for the Paula Greene. ::heads down toward the Command Chair:: FCO: Mister Panthera, set course back to Bergan II, maximum impulse.
