Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "First Contact" Part IV 10304.13
CNS_Jordain says:
@::is still in the office of doctor Greenbeak on the planet::
FCO_Durron says:
::Downloads a recording of current weather around the anomolous sensor reading than stand::
TO_Laredo says:
::seated in the Observation Lounge::
FCO_Durron says:
CSO:Z'heta you are with me.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::in the Obs. lounge, geting up::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Aye aye, Commander.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Walking to the bridge::
FCO_Durron says:
::Starts for the Turbolift.::*Flight Control*:Prepare the Type ten shuttle craft for immedate launch.
FCO_Durron says:
<Flight Control>*FCO*:Aye.
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: Sensor continue to detect dilithium readings from the North and South Poles of the Planet Melodia
TO_Laredo says:
::stands and exits the OL, enters the bridge and takes place at Tactical::
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: It's a pleasure to have you as second officer of Andromeda, Sir
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Thank you.
FCO_Durron says:
::Enters the Turbolift and orders it to the Shuttlebay::
CSO_Z`heta says:
::follows the FCO into the TL::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
::several Melodian Sunships casually passby the Andromeda on their way to the colony, Melodians staring at the Andromeda in awe::
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Sits on the captain's chair::
FCO_Durron says:
::Exits the TL than walkes into the shuttlebay::
CSO_Z`heta says:
::also enters shuttlebay::
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: you got to see the sensor readings longer than I did.  Which of the sights looks more prommising for the first pass?
FCO_Durron says:
::nodds to the Deck officer and heads to the Type X shuttlecraft.::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: In the absence of OPS, please maintain communications with the shuttle as they depart.
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Aye Sir.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Well, sir, to be honest both signals had plenty of interference...
FCO_Durron says:
::enters the shuttle and starts the preflight checklist::CSO: Very well we will head for the northern one than.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Once we're on the planet's atmosphere, the shuttle's SRS should let us know the best spot
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: So doctor, How does this personal shield actualy work?
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: Ok, as you whish.
CSO_Z`heta says:
::takes the Science console and gets ready for departure::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: The personal energy field was evolved by our people due to the large amount of solar radiation from our sun, it operates to protect us from solar ions and we discoved the vaccum of space
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: take a seat.  This should be a easy flyby.  I want you to focuse on figuring out what we can from sensors. I will handle everything else for now.
TO_Laredo says:
::slaves the OPS console screen to his own::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
::ruffles his feathers and leans back in his easy chair::
FCO_Durron says:
Comm:Andy:Shuttlecraft Requesting launch clearence.
CSO_Z`heta says:
FCO: I'm on the job!  ::prepares the computer to run Fourier filters to clear the magnetic interference as soon as possible::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
<Dockmaster> *FCO* Launch when ready
FCO_Durron says:
*Dockmaster*Thank you. keep the home fires burning. we should be back soon.
FCO_Durron says:
::begins power up sequence::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
<Dockmaster>::opens shuttlebay doors::
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: I see.  Now a total different question doctor.  How do you feel about our arrival?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COMM: Shuttle: You are cleared to depart.
FCO_Durron says:
::Lifts the shuttle from the bay and eases her into space::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: What kind of pharmaceuticals do you use to treat your people?
FCO_Durron says:
$::swings the shuttle around the Andromeda flying low over the larger vessel's hull and straight over the bridge::
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: If possible none.  I hate to give my people pharmaceuticals.  self: strange question
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::taps a few commands::  FCO: Commander, SRS is online and scanning.  I'm trying to filter the magnetic interference as we speak.
FCO_Durron says:
$::waggels the ship to wave good bye to the larger ship and angles the shuttle for atmospheric entry::Self:Thirty-five degrees eah?
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO:thank you.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: Short Range Sensors detect what appears to be a military excavation site around the North Pole, surrounded by a perimeter fence, radar and fighter aricraft.  The South Pole appears undisturbed
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO:How dose it look?
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: You do not medicate people for deficiencies in chemicals?
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Sir, you had a good hunch.  The North Pole is surrounded by a perimeter fence, radar and fighter aircraft.
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO: and the southern sight?
TO_Laredo says:
CO: SRS have detected a military excavation site near the North Pole of the Homeworld surrounded by fence, radar, and fighter aircraft.  The South Pole appears to me undisturbed.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: The southern pole appears to be nature wild, undisturbed.
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Conduct passive scans of the area.
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO: I don't want to upset our friends without knowing what we are looking at.  Heading for southern sight.
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Aye Sir ::begins scanning the Poles, the North in particular::
FCO_Durron says:
$::Changes the Shuttle's decent to angle it for the southern sight::
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: Most of the time I help people with there mental problems just by talking and listning.  If this all fails medication could be administered.  ::feels strange like he is beeing interogated::
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Our sensors cannot penetrate from orbit, any information will have to come from the shuttle.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: You seem to be feeling uncomfortable? Why is that?
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::is puzzled at first but recognizes the prudence of the 2nd Officer::  FCO:Yes, Commander.  ::targets the South pole for further scans::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Very well. We have to wait for their reports then.
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Aye
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: Nothing.  I'm just fine, it has been a long day. I have been worse.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: Time passes, the shuttle clears the atmosphere and arrives over the South Pole
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: I am merely attempting to learn more about you as you learn more about us
FCO_Durron says:
$::slows the shuttle as they near the sight than lowers and slowes to a near hover:: CSO: anything interesting?
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Actually, yes...   There is a starship under the ice...  I don't know if it's Federation...   I'm still scanning...
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: I understand. Have you ever encountered some of your people who had mental powers. Like they can move a stone by just thinking it?
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: By the amount of ice on the top, the computer estimates that the ship has been there for 85 years now
FCO_Durron says:
$::looks at the Ice for a place to land and lowers the shuttle to ten meters from the ice::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: We are not telekinetic, but we are telepathic, I assume most of your people are telepathic
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Readings are not at all clear, bur there is an oxigen atmosphere int what appears to be the Engineering section.  Should we beam in, try to tractor it, use the phasers on the ice, ... ?
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO:First find us a nice solid patch of ice to set down on.
CNS_Jordain says:
@::thinks about what he is going to say::  Greenbeak: We are not all telepathic.  We are not all from the same race.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Anywhere you find fit, Sir, it's all solid ice.  Except for that patch over there...  ::points::  I doubt that it would stand the shuttle's weight.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: How are you not from the same race?
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO:Thanks  ::extends the landing struts and settels the shuttle on the ice carefully avoiding the indicated spot.::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: The shuttle lands softly and safely on the glacial surface
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Have we heard anything from the shuttle team?
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO: I am going to beam down alone get some reading find out what type of vessel we are looking at than beam out and we will look at the other sight.
TO_Laredo says:
CO: No Sir, no transmissions from the shuttle have been picked up.
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: We are from the United Federation of Planets.  For example, I'm El Aurian and my Captain is Vulcan.  There are many different races on our ship so we are not from the same race.
FCO_Durron says:
$::Comm: Andy: We have discovered that the readings on the south pole are indeade that of a starship and we are going to investigate
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Ok, I'll monitor you with the shuttle sensors.  Please, warn me if you see anything suspect .
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: I see.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: Is your Federation based on political collective consent or conquest?
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Transmission just in sir.  The FCO and CSO have landed saftely on the planet, the readings are a starship and they are going to investigate.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Don't forget this ::hands him a tricorder::  FCO: the sensors reveal a bacteriologicaly free and safe atmosphere, but we can not trust as we have this huge ice over the ship...  Take a suit, please.
FCO_Durron says:
$::pulls a EVA suit out of the locker and climbs into it than prepares to beam to a location that appears clear.::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Landed? I hope that they are secure.
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO: If I haven't already beamed out I want you to beam me out in ten minutes.
TO_Laredo says:
CO: Aye Sir, that have landed safe and secure.  The whole surface is frozen solid.
FCO_Durron says:
::takes the Tricorder.:: 
CSO: thank you.  I wouldn't want the federation to lose her newest commander before he even made it to Risa.  :: Grins:: CSO: Ten minutes right?
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Ok, and please be careful.  «There is honour in sacrifice, but there is no honour in wasting one's life».  Old klingon proverb, Sir.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::nods::
FCO_Durron says:
$CSO: Good. ::motions to the transporter controles:: CSO: when your are ready. ::puts the EVA suit's helmet on::
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: Exploration and indeed political collective consent.  Surtenly not Conquest.  We are peacefull and we try to keep it that way, allways.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$FCO: Energizing....  ::pushes button::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: The FCO materializes in the dimly lit Main Enginnering of a Starship, frost covers the still working computer displays, there an immediately recognizable warp core with writing on it
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: That is a significant political accomplishment, you must have many wonderous medicines
FCO_Durron says:
$::looks around::*CSO*:Computer displays are still working.  Warp core here. some wrighting on it.
FCO_Durron says:
$::Takes out the tricorder and begins scaning and attempting to read the wrighting::
CSO_Z`heta says:
$*FCO* I'm reading you nice and clear.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::monitors the life signs of the FCO::
CNS_Jordain says:
@self: Why is he asking everything about medicine?  Greenbeak: We have indeed wonderous medicine but i'm not the specialist on that.  You need to speak to our doctor for that.  I'm just a counselor but if you want I'll send our doctor down so you can ask her.
FCO_Durron says:
$::Sets the Tricorder to continuious scan and looks at the wrighting with more attetion::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: The writing reads "Constitution Class Warp Core, Manufactured at Utopia Plantia ShipYards, USS Athena NCC-1779
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*Warp core of USS Athena, Constitution class.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*Registry NCC-1779.  Inform the Andromeda of this.  I am going to look at these computers.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$*FCO* Intriguing!  I'll look on the Computers database for that vessel.
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::taps commands on the Computer to access info about the USS Athena::
FCO_Durron says:
$::heads for one of the computer displays looking around for signs of hull failure::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: Our people as well are peaceful and tend to prefer collective activities in flocks
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: The FCO discovers that the hull is completely intact, apparantly the Engineer was able to boost the shields to survive entry by using the solar winds
CSO_Z`heta says:
$*FCO*: Sir, the USS Athena was reported missing 85 years ago.  This is consistent wirth the ice layer thickness that covers it.  Athena last reported on SB 47.  Therefore, there's no recolection of her ever being near this part of the quadrant...
FCO_Durron says:
$::looks at the Computer and begins trying to access logs::
CSO_Z`heta says:
$*FCO*: Should I inform Andromeda of your progress?
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*:Yes.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*:I am going to upload the logs to the Shuttle. you forward them to the Andromeda.
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: I'm sorry doctor but I have to go now. But we could meet again tomorrow to talk a bit more.
FCO_Durron says:
$::access the capatain's logs for the last month of opperation and uploads them to the shuttle and plays the last one recorded::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
<Viewer> Captain's Log: Captain Marshall recording, we have encountered what appears to be a wormhole and have been drawn to what appears to be some distance from where we were , sensors also detect what appears to be a Klingon Warship
FCO_Durron says:
$::looks for more of the log::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
<Viewer> The Klingon Warship is the IKS Warlord, she has attacked us without provocation, after a fierce fight both ships are headed on a doomed collision with a nearby planet, may God have mercy on us all, the engineer intends to store our patterns in the transporter buffer.....<end>
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::updates the Data file:: COMM: Andromeda: Commander Durron is exploring a vessel hidden under a thick layer of ice.  She's the USS Athena, reported missing 85 years ago.  The data is on the way.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: Of course, thanks for coming in
FCO_Durron says:
$::Trys to access the Cheif Engineer's final log::
TO_Laredo says:
CO: The FCO has identified the ship, it is the USS Athena, reported missing 85 years ago, ship information and logs are being uploaded to the ship.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
<ChiefEngineer> I have stored the patterns of the crew in the main transporter buffer with some hope of rescue, we survived the reentry due to shield modifications, this is my final entry as I store my own patter now
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Fascinating.
CNS_Jordain says:
@Greenbeak: No problem at all doctor, it was nice meeting you.  ::gets up from his chair, nods at the doctor and walks out of the office:: *Andromeda* Mr Molecules, One to beam up please.
TO_Laredo says:
::nods head:: CO: That it is sir.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
Action: The CNS returns to the Andromeda
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO* inform the Andromeda that thair is the possibility that we have survivors saved in the Transporter buffer.  and Ask if they can beam a Transporter officer down.
CNS_Jordain says:
::materializes onboard of the andromeda:: *CO* Captain, I have arrived back on the Andromeda.  May I see you in your Ready Room.  ::walks out of the TR heading for the Bridge::
FCO_Durron says:
$::checks the tricorder for viruses or other biogenic hazards.  Also checks the ambiant tempurature::
CSO_Z`heta says:
$*FCO* Aye Aye.  This captain's log sure is intriguing.  Do you think the buffer maintained their patterns intact after all this years?
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* Certainly. TO: You have the bridge. ::Leaves to the ready room::
FCO_Durron says:
$*CSO*:I do not know but everything else appears to be working. inform the Andromeda
TO_Laredo says:
::looks around timidly and takes the empty captains chair::
CNS_Jordain says:
::arrives on the bridge a few moments later and pushes the door chime of the Captains ready room::
FCO_Durron says:
$::begins looking at the transporter controle being carefull not to touch it lest he kill the lives stored thair.::
CSO_Z`heta says:
$COMM: Andromeda: Has you may know from the logs, the patterns of the crew were stored in the ship's buffers.  Do we have permission to try to restore the Athena crew? Can you send in a Transport officer?
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: Come in.
FCO_Durron says:
$::uploads the Cheif engineer's log to the Shuttlecraft::
CSO_Z`heta says:
$::reroutes the Cheif's log to Andromeda::
CNS_Jordain says:
::enters the ready room and nods at the captain:: CO: Sir, Permission to speak freely?
TO_Laredo says:
*CO*: The CSO has informed me that the Athena crew may have survived in the Transporter Buffer, he would like to know if we can send a transporter and attempt to restore the crew of the Athena.
