Summary:

Still in Orbit around Deneb IV, the Paula Greene crew is trying to get both parties into negotiations. This is achieved, and the preparations start. The Leaders of both groups are contacted, and asked to delegate a contact for these negotiations.

Meanwhile on the surface, the counselor and major went to see the watchtower, and have now returned from their little tour. They are both being beamed back to the Paula Greene for the negotiations, the major being the contact of the Bandi government.

Just before the counselor and major are being beamed up, a shuttle appears from behind the fifth moon, transports professor Lindsor down to the dam site.

Meanwhile on the ship, the negotiations have gotten under way, but there seems to be little improvement. The DLF want prisoners released, and the Bandi government refuses to do so. At the end of the negotiations, the DLF Leader announces he will debate some things with his supporters. Captain Madred gave him two hours time to come up with an offer. What will it be……….?

Transscript:

Host Tim_SM says:
The Paula Greene maintains her orbit around Deneb IV. In the mean time, the CNS is visiting the dam site, accompanied by major Rodiuga.

CEO_Burke says:
::activates his station and brings up all the information he has been going through since he got his orders::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@::Walks towards the watchtower:: CNS: Counselor, Watch your step it is not a paved road.
Host DLF_Leader says:
@COM: CO: Well... That's acceptable. But I don't want anyone armed during the negotiations!
CNS_Lyra says:
@::nods as she follows carefully::
Host CO_Madred says:
COM: DLF: Of course ... which goes for yourself as well. We will beam you aboard in approximately five minutes.
CEO_Burke says:
::wishes he had done better in the political classes during his academy days, but that was never his strong suit::
Host CO_Madred says:
*CNS*: Counselor, please bring a representative of the Deneb government aboard the Paula Greene to facilitate negotiations with the DLF. They have agreed to a meeting.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@::Walks to the door and looks in, checking inside:: CNS: Watch your head. ::Walks in::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Double checking sickbay's preparedness ::   Self:  Anabolic protoplasers...check...Bioregenerative field ready...check...
CNS_Lyra says:
@*CO*: Aye, Captain.
Host DLF_Leader says:
@COM: CO: Mind you, I'm not coming myself. I'll send an attaché to my office. He'll be on the west side of the dam for transport.
CNS_Lyra says:
@Maj: Who will be your representative?
Host DLF_Leader says:
@::Orders his attache to get ready, unarmed::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Considers an idea, and walks over to the CEO::
Host CO_Madred says:
::rises from his chair:: CSO: What is the status of the evacuation and the course change for the rivers feeding the dam?
Host DLF_Leader says:
SCENERY: From the top of the watchtower, the major and CNS have a beautiful sight over the lake, the dam and the valley beneath them. Also, several side arms of the lake are visible. Just at the edge of one of those side-arms, the beginning of another, smaller dam is visible. Inside the room itself, there are several information displays.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: Excuse me?  For what?
CSO_Tsalea says:
CO:  Evacuation is proceeding accordingly.  There are some nominal 'hang-ups'. However, the course in rivers, we are still working on that.
CEO_Burke says:
::notices the CSO's approach and swivels around in his chair::
CNS_Lyra says:
@::sighs:: Major: Do you know who the negotiator for your side will be?
CMO_Qui says:
Self:  Plasma infusion unit...check...cordrazine...check...dermalplast...check...
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  I have a question concerning the dam.
CEO_Burke says:
::stands::  CSO: Shoot. ::crosses his arms::
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CSO: Have Doctor Qui help you in any areas of difficulty. ::heads for the conference room:: CEO: Mister Burke, please prepare to beam aboard our guests and have security escort them to the conference room.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Right now, we are having the rivers redirected to an area that will take awhile to fill.  However, this does not assist us with the damn, not to mention, we need to keep all of this from the terrorists.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods toward the captain::
CEO_Burke says:
::nods to the CO as he leaves::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: Oh... Let me ask the Governor.  He might ask someone with more diplomatic abilities to go.
CMO_Qui says:
Self:  Cortical analeptic...check...hyperzine...check...   :: Continues down her list ::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Could we create a large force field wall, using buffers to create a wall, that would direct it toward the area the rivers are now filling?
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  The moment the dam broke, we could activate and redirect the water immediately.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: Shall we head back to base?
CEO_Burke says:
::considers:: CSO: It isn't impossible, but it would require a large deal of power and we would have to install units around the dam location, which would be hard to hide...
CNS_Lyra says:
@::nods::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks at Dr. Lau ::   Lau: It all looks good.   :: Nods in approval ::   I'll be in my office
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: Watch your head.  ::Heads out and heads back to camp::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  They are small enough and could be placed in rock areas.  It would be less power then trying to create a bubble around the whole area.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Gives the list to Dr. Lau and heads towards her office. Entering activates her computer ::
CNS_Lyra says:
@::follows::
Host DLF_Leader says:
@<Governor> ::Sees Rodiuga approach the camp again and walks towards him:: Rodiuga: I've been informed the DLF is willing to negotiate. I'm sending you as our representative.
CNS_Lyra says:
@::nods at the governor::
CEO_Burke says:
::still thinking out the details::  CSO: That's a lot of water.  I'll have some simulations run.  We need this to be right if we do it.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@Governor: But, I am not a Diplomat, I am a soldier!
CMO_Qui says:
:: Strikes a couple of keys and nods to herself. Deactivates her computer and leaves her office ::   Lau: Alan, you're in charge...I'll be on the bridge.  :: Exits sickbay, stepping into the corridor ::
Host CO_Madred says:
::sitting in the conference at the back of the bridge waiting for the representatives from the DLF and Deneb government to arrive::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  The other option would be to use the phasers to plow tunnels into the dirt leading into the other valley.  That would not save anything from the forefront of the wave.
Host DLF_Leader says:
@<Governor> Rodiuga: You're a soldier... But not just that, you're an officer. You'd be as good as anyone in these negotiations, else I wouldn't send you. Now, you better prepare, the DLF representative will be beamed up shortly.
CEO_Burke says:
CSO: Nor would it be secret.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@::Mumbles:: Governor: Yes, sir.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Stops in front of a turbolift, pressing the call button ::
Host DLF_Leader says:
@COM: Paula Greene: DLF Command to Paula Greene. My attaché is ready for transport.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  No, but then to use that, we would have failed in negotiations.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::With a nod of thanks, turns to her station.::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Fidgets a little while waiting for the turbolift.  Seeing the doors finally open, steps through ::   Turbolift: Bridge.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Returning finds a message waiting::
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: An unidentified shuttle appears from behind one of the five moons circling Deneb IV, it's shields raised.
CEO_Burke says:
::nods as he answers the comm:: COM: DLF_Leader: Understood.  Transport will commence in 30 seconds.  ::notifies the TR and Security::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CMO*:  Do you have a team set up for emergencies?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Glances at her sensors and frowns::
CMO_Qui says:
*CSO*: Yes ma'am...and sickbay is at the ready
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: I am... ::Pauses:: Ready... ::Adjusts his stance::
CEO_Burke says:
*CO*: The DLF representative is about to come aboard.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  There is an unidentifed shuttle appearing from behind the fifth moon.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow and watches as the doors open to the bridge.  Steps out, and looks around a moment ::
CEO_Burke says:
<TR Chief>  ::locks onto the DLF rep outside the dam and energizes::
Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: Identify the vessel and order it to stand to. It can not be allowed to disturb the negotiations.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turns to the doctor::  CMO:  There appears to be some minor accidents from the evacuation.  They are requesting some assistance.
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team>  ::arrives in the TR just as the cycle commences::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.
CNS_Lyra says:
@::nods and smiles::
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: The shuttle suddenly drops shields and initiates a transport to the surface, apparently to the dam site. After the transport, they raise shields again.
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Unidentified shuttle:  This is the USS Paula Greene.  Please respond.
CNS_Lyra says:
@*PG*: Two to beam up.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Walks over to the CSO, hearing her, nods. ::   CSO: What is the location of the injured, ma'am?
CEO_Burke says:
*CNS*: Understood, one moment please.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Pulls up a map and points out the major evacuation areas and where two incidents have occured.::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Captain, the shuttle has initiated a transport.
Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: Stop the vessel and determine its purpose.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Nods at the CSO ::  CSO: Permission to beam planetside?    :: Listens a moment to the communication between the CSO and the CO ::
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  Please respond or we will find it necessary to lock a tractor beam upon you.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  The individual entered the dam structure.  I am unable to get a lock on him.
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle pilot> ::Opens a channel:: COM: Paula Greene: What do you want?
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  You have entered an area off limits do to complications.  State  your mission.
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: The DLF representative arrives safely in the TR.
Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: I understand that, Commander. I was asking you to stop the vessel ... not the transport. I'm sure someone is still aboard, operating the controls of the transporter. They should be able to advise you of what they are doing.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   *Lau*: Dr. Lau, prepare our trauma team.  Have them ready for possible beam down to the planet.
CNS_Lyra says:
@::smiles reassuringly to the Major::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Communicating with them now.  And the doctor requests permission to beam down to assist with various medical situations.
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team> ::divides in half and one officer cordially steps forward::  DLF_Rep: Please allow me to escort you to the conf room.
CNS_Lyra says:
@Major: It should be just a few more seconds, I'm sure.
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle> COM: Paula Greene: We have come to bring professor Lindsor to the DLF compound. His presence was requested by the operational leader for our action here.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@CNS: We going soon?
CSO_Tsalea says:
CMO:  I will send the cooridinates to the transporter room.
Host CO_Madred says:
::waits, wondering why five minutes has taken so long::
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Walks along with the security team, looking around with great interest::
CNS_Lyra says:
@::looks slightly embarrassed::
CMO_Qui says:
<Lau>:: Contacts the trauma team to prepare for possible beam down to the planet ::
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team>  ::escorts the Rep to the conference room::
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  Please stand by.
CEO_Burke says:
<TR Chief> *CNS*: Ready for transport.
CMO_Qui says:
CSO: Thank you.  I'll be leaving then.  :: Heads towards the turbolift ::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
@::Takes a deep breath::
CEO_Burke says:
<TR Chief> ::locks onto the CNS and guest and energizes::
CNS_Lyra says:
@::sighs in relief:: CEO: Ready, Sir.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::  Turbolift: Deck 12
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  The suttle beamed down professor Lindsor to the compound at the leaders request.
CMO_Qui says:
*Lau*: Have the team assemble in sickbay.  We're going planetside
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Sends the coordinates to the transporter room::
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: The CNS and major materialize in the TR as well.
CEO_Lingn is now known as John.
CNS_Lyra says:
@::arrives in the TS room::
CMO_Qui says:
<Lau>*CMO*: Yes ma'am   :: Sends that information to the trauma team to assemble in sickbay stat ::
CNS_Lyra says:
::smiles and motions for the major to follow her.::
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team> ::arrives at the conference room with the DLF Rep.  They allow him to enter and take up positions outside::
CNS_Lyra says:
Transporter Chief: Thank you.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Materializes in the room then walks with the Counselor::
CEO_Burke says:
<TR Chief>  ::nods::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the turbolift slow ::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Sees the doors open and steps out onto deck 12 and heads towards sickbay ::
Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: Who is Professor Lindsor?
CEO_Burke says:
::contacts ME and has a few of his men start working on the force field simulations::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Reaches down to pull up the files given them::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters sickbay and sees the last of the trauma team enter as well.  Goes and grabs her field med kit from her office before re-joining the team ::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Looks at the hallways:: CNS: Wow this is a large ship.  How many personnel are on this ship?  How big is this ship?
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*: He is an engineering specialist of power plants.
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team>  ::follow behind the CNS and Major::
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle> COM: Paula Greene: We're still standing by here... If you don't mind, we'd like to return to our base.
Host CO_Madred says:
*CSO*: And he's just become another hostage. Please detain the shuttle and their crew for further questioning.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Walks out to main sickbay... ::  Team: I understand there are several medical situations planetside.  Have only the worse cases approved by me prior to sending them to sickbay.  Everyone else should be treated planetside.  Any questions?
CNS_Lyra says:
::smiles:: Major: I'll leave the experts to fill you in.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.
CNS_Lyra says:
*CO*: We have arrived, Sir.
Host CO_Madred says:
*CNS*: Report to the conference room then, Ensign.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
CNS: Who are those guys?  ::Indicates to the two guys in the back::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Sees no questions from her team ::  Team: Let's go to transporter room 1, then.   :: Leaves sickbay for transporter room 1 ::
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  You are to maintain your position for further questioning.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Walks down the corridor stopping in front of the turbolift.  Presses the call button ::
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle> COM: Paula Greene: And what would be the reason for that? We haven't done anything wrong.
CNS_Lyra says:
::smiles reassuringly:: Major: We care about our visitors safety, Sir. They are there for your protection and comfort.
CEO_Burke says:
CSO: I can clear a shuttle bay for them.
CNS_Lyra says:
*CO*: On our way, Sir.
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  You have given the terrorists a hostage.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters the turbolift with her team when the doors open ::  Turbolift: Deck 6
CNS_Lyra says:
::enters the turbolift and calls for the right deck.::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow, then stop.  Exits when the doors open and walks down the corridor to transporter room 1 and enters ::
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle> COM: Paula Greene: A hostage? The professor came her by request of our operation leader. He didn't object to coming with us.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
CNS: I can sort of take care of myself, I am a Platoon Commander in the army..
CNS_Lyra says:
::nods:: Major: Then you will understand that we have protocols to follow.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Steps up to the pad with the rest of her team ::  *CSO*: My medical team and I are ready for transport planetside, ma'am
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  COMM: Shuttle:  As the situation stands below, this professor is a hostage, whether by intent or lack of information.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged.  They are waiting you.
CNS_Lyra says:
::as the door opens, leads her visitor down the hall to the conference room.::
Host DLF_Leader says:
<Shuttle> COM: Paula Greene: Alright... If you insist. What would you want us to do?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks at the transporter chief and nods ::   Transporter chief:  When you're ready...please...
CEO_Burke says:
<Sec Team>  ::as the team reunites there is relief in their eyes, the diplomatic missions always being the most explosive.::
CEO_Burke says:
<TR Chief>  CMO: Aye, energizing.
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: The medical teams arrives at the scene of the accident.
CSO_Tsalea says:
COMM:  Shuttle:  Stand by.  And if you have information to give us to help in this situation it would appreciated.
CNS_Lyra says:
::enters the conference room and glances around::
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Begins to work automatically as does the rest of her team ::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Runs a scan on the shuttle::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Follows the CNS to the conference room::
Host CO_Madred says:
::rises as the Counselor enters the Conference Room with the representatives from the DLF and the Deneb government:: Major/Leader: Welcome, I am Captain Jafo Madred of the United Federation of Planets. It is a pleasure to welcome you both aboard this vessel.
CMO_Qui says:
@:: First patient is a male with gray matter in his hair ::   Self: Too late for him...    :: Shakes her head a moment, then moves on to the next ::
CNS_Lyra says:
::stands slightly back::
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Nods at Madred, then heads over to a vacant seat, waiting for everyone to sit down::
Host CO_Madred says:
::waves to the table:: CNS/Major/Leader: Please ... have a seat.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
CO: Captain, it is a pleasure to see you again.... ::Looks across the room, and mumbles::
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Sits down and looks over the other faces, a trace of concern on his face::
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks to the Leader:: Leader: First, I'd ask that you please explain the purpose of Professor Lindsor's presence at the dam site. I understand a shuttle recently beamed him down?
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Looks over and sees a member of her team starting to check over a female with a leg wound.  Moves to a young male with a stomach wound ::
CNS_Lyra says:
::takes the offered seat::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Takes a Seat::
CEO_Burke says:
::checks on his teams progress::
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Runs a tricorder over the patient, brow furrows with concern ::
CNS_Lyra says:
::looks at the leader expectantly.::
Host DLF_Leader says:
CO: Yes.. I asked for him to come over hours before you arrived here. I wanted his advice on what he would think would be the best location to place explosives.
Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns:: Leader: I see...
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Notes that the shuttle has 3 lifesigns aboard along with lots of fire power.::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Stands:: Leader: Explosives!
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Gives the patient a shot of hypercoagulin as well as a shot of hydrocortilene ::
CEO_Burke says:
Self: Hmm, those results aren't to reassuring.  Hopefully they will come up with something better, and soon.
Host CO_Madred says:
Major: Please calm yourself, Major.
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader/Major: Now then, I've asked that the two of you come aboard so that we can hopefully come to some sort of mutual compromise that will allow the DLF to release their hostages and the Deneb government to resume control fo the dam.
Host DLF_Leader says:
CO: As we already announced, we demand the release of our prisoners, held on the second moon's prison camp. ::Glances at Rodiuga:: Rodiuga: Yes, explosives. You think we were just kidding about that?
CNS_Lyra says:
::smiles at the Major reassuringly and motions for him to sit down.::
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: The loss of the dam would cost millions of lives on Deneb IV. If your organization is truly as patriotic as you claim, then I do not believe that you wish for all of those lives to be lost.
CMO_Qui says:
@Male: You'll be alright...it's just a superficial wound...I'll have you patched up in a minute...    :: Smiles at the young man, taking out the dermal regenerator and starts working on him ::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
Leader: You are pathetic.  Wanting to blow that Dam up.
Host CO_Madred says:
Major: Please Major, calling each other names will get us no where.
CMO_Qui says:
@<Aola> CMO: Doctor...can you take a look at this one?
CEO_Burke says:
::gets up and walks over to the CSO::
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Hears her being called and looks up as another medic comes to replace her.  Moves over to Aola taking a look at the patient ::
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Ignores Rodiuga:: CO: We would also rather not do it. But the life of so many other Bandi would become much better under our government. Believe me, if there were a way to get the prisoners released without blowing the dam, we would do that.
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Nods to herself ::  Aola: Get this one stablized and prepped for surgery.  Send him to the ship.   :: Moves back to the male she was working on ::
CEO_Burke says:
CSO: Well, so far the simulations don't look all that great, but I'm still awaiting some more information.
CNS_Lyra says:
Major: Major Rodiuga, the time for yelling is past. The time for healing the problem is present, please bear that in mind. We must listen and discuss...your turn to speak will be soon.
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: As the Deneb government has made it clear, they will not release the political prisoners held on the moon in question. As they will not release their prisoners, and you do not wish to kill millions of Deneb citizens, the only option left is negotiation. Surely their is something that we can do, short of releasing the prisoners, to help you.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Looks up at the engineer curiously::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Did you come up with of other possibilities?
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: For instance, I understand you recently lost the elections on Deneb IV. Perhaps we could help to legitimize your political stance among the people.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Sits down and calms down::
CNS_Lyra says:
::looks at the leader and thinks the man is a lunatic but says nothing.::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
CNS: You are right, as I said before I am not a diplomat I am a solidier.
CMO_Qui says:
@<Aola>:: Preps the patient, then taps her badge ::   *CSO*:  Ma'am...we have one patient that needs to be transported to the ship.  Two to beam up, please.
CEO_Burke says:
::leans against the console:: CSO: Well actually, what if we introduced a polymerization agent into the water.
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Smiles:: CO: That would be very helpfull. But, we would be willing to settle on other demands... But, rest assured, we will not be the ones giving in most. If there's no other way, we'll start killing the hostages we have. And that doesn't include Professor Lindsor.
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: So if you would be willing to settle on other demands ... what would they be?
CNS_Lyra says:
::said quietly:: Major: A soldier who cares for his people.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  How would we remove it later?
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Takes a deep breath::
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Rises:: All: Let it be clear. I believe in a compromise, but it should be a reasonable one for both them, and us. We are willing to leave the dam site, but we want to have something in return. Released prisoners, to name something.
CEO_Burke says:
::waits while the CSO answers the comm from the planet::
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: The Major has made it very clear that the prisoners are not open to negotiation.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged...
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Reaches over, locks on and activates transporter::
CSO_Tsalea says:
*Sickbay*:  Incoming.
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: The two are beamed to sickbay.
CEO_Burke says:
CSO: There are various agents that could be negated later, returning the water back to its previous state.
CNS_Lyra says:
Leader: May I ask you a question, Sir?
CMO_Qui says:
*CSO*: Dr. Han here...received and waiting
CMO_Qui says:
@<Aola>:: Watches the planet disappear as the scenery is replaced with the sounds of the Paula Greene's sickbay ::   All: Lets get this one to surgery...stat!
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Ofcourse.
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Finishes her work and moves to another ::
CMO_Qui says:
<Aola>:: Moves from the patient and prepares for surgery ::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  It would take time, but it might work... and we could place it around the dam itself, we need not do the whole area.
CMO_Qui says:
<Han>:: Gives direction to medics to move the patient and prep him for surgery... ::
CNS_Lyra says:
::gathers her thoughts:: Leader: Are the lives of those who are being held of more value than the lives of those who will be killed when the dam is destroyed?
CEO_Burke says:
CSO: We would just need to do enough that it would hold back the rest of the water.  The agents could be beamed into the water for quick dispersal.
CNS_Lyra says:
::continues:: Leader: Or would you agree that all life is valuable? ::looks at him seriously::
Host CO_Madred says:
::listens to the Counselor and waits for the Leaders response::
Maj_Rodiuga says:
::Sits back::
Host DLF_Leader says:
CNS: That's a legitimate question. But, keep in mind we have three of the top scientists of the planet held inside. They would be of a very significant meaning to the planet. Also to us, but some things are just necesary evil.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  How long would it take you to replicate the polymerization agent?
CMO_Qui says:

CEO_Burke says:
CSO: Once we select the appropriate compound, I would say an hour at the most.
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: Should the government refuse to release their prisoners, and you destroy the dam, what do you feel you would gain? Aside from the undying resentment of the Deneb people.
CNS_Lyra says:
::nods understandingly:: Leader: I do understand your reasoning, but in the same vein, can you not agree that among the doomed there may be a single child who is destined to be a great scientist or leader for your world?
Host DLF_Leader says:
All: I have another proposal. We withdraw from the dam site, and the government will release a number of the prisoners they have. We are willing to keep people inside, and hope to get them free through the way of justice.
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Sees him watch her with intense eyes...almost suspiciously ::   Man: It'll be alright...I'm a doctor.  Administers a hypercoagulin ::

CEO_Burke says:
::nods and watches over her shoulder::
CSO_Tsalea says:
::As the computer scrolls quickly, she pauses it on a couple of possibilities::
Host CO_Madred says:
::looks at the DLF Leader wondering if their is something mentally wrong with him, not seeing how that is another proposal at all, but rather a re-statement of the same old proposal:: Leader: That is the same proposal you have been stating. The Deneb goverment will not release ANY Prisoners to you.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
ALL: Yeah right...  No prisoners.
CMO_Qui says:
@:: Runs the tricorder over him.. ::   Man: You've been shot.  You need to be the ammunition removed from your arm, your shoulder and your leg.  Your injuries are not life threatening.  But I will have to perform surgery to remove them...
CEO_Burke says:
::points at one:: CSO: That wouldn't give us the structural support we need.
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  Agreed.  And this would act the quickest, but would also be the hardest to remove.  ::Draws her fingers down::
CSO_Tsalea says:
CEO:  What about this one?
CEO_Burke says:
::nods and continues reading::
CMO_Qui says:
@Lau: You are in charged, here.   *CSO*: Ma'am, two to beam directly to sickbay
CEO_Burke says:
::smiles:: CSO: I think we have a winner.
Host DLF_Leader says:
::Sighs:: All: If it really has to be like that... I'd like to return to the dam, and debate this with my fellow DLF members...
CNS_Lyra says:
::looks at the Major:: Major: Your side will not concede to even one prisoners release?
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Turns to look up at him::  CEO:  One hour to replicate enough?
Host CO_Madred says:
::nods and rises:: Leader: Very well ... I will give you two hours to discuss this with the rest of your organization.
CEO_Burke says:
::starts to back away:: CSO: Yep, I'll get on it right away.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*CMO*:  Acknowleded.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::nods to the CEO as she locks onto the doctors coordinates::

CSO_Tsalea says:
::Beams the two to sickbay::
Host CO_Madred says:
Leader: Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Please contact us on the usual communications channels when you are ready to resume negotiations.
CSO_Tsalea says:
*Sickbay*:  Two transporting in.
Host DLF_Leader says:
ACTION: At the same time the PG lowers it shields, the shuttle does too, and the CMO and the injured man materialise on the shuttlecraft, surrounded by 3 armed men.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Watches as sickbay repleaces the planets landscape ::   Man: Please...have a seat here.  Han: Prep him for surgery
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Noting what has happened, locks onto the shuttle::
CNS_Lyra says:
Major: Many children will die if the dam is released.
CSO_Tsalea says:
::Attempts to lock onto the doctor::
CSO_Tsalea says:

Host DLF_Leader says:

Major: You're welcome to remain aboard the Paula Greene or return the surface. We can contact you when we've heard from the DLF if you like.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
CNS: More lives would be wasted if we released the Prisoners.
CNS_Lyra says:
Leader: This way, Sir.

COMM:  Shuttle:  You have one of our people, release them.
Maj_Rodiuga says:
