FCO_Durron says:
::Steps on to the transporter pad and nods to Molecules::
CTO_Senek says:
::At Transporter Room1, ready to beam down::
Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Action: TC Molecules mixes up the landing parties atoms and beams them to the surface, they materialize in the Presidential Palace.
FCO_Lureng says:
::At Flight monitoring orbital patterns::
CTO_Senek says:
$::Looks around for a welcoming committee::
FCO_Durron says:
$::Looks around and nods to himself than waits for the Melodians::
Host Melodian_President says:
::Walks up to the away team::
TO_Sullivan says:
::At Tactical reviewing security data::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CSO* What's your status down there?
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: Our scientists are quite ill can you help them ?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: I have established a lock on the away team. Opening a line of communication, sir. ::Opens COM lines::
FCO_Durron says:
$Melodian President: Hello sir. I hope you are doing well?
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Very good.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@::On the North Pole talking to the Melodian Scientists::
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: Welcome, I am pleased our people's have eased tensions and are returning to good faith, I had thought that we were going to be invaded.
FCO_Durron says:
$Melodian President: We were not very clear in announcing our intentions to you sir and for that I personally apologize.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*CO* Captain, I'm about to talk to Dr. Greenbeak.  I'll keep you posted, Sir. 
CTO_Senek says:
$::Nods in agreement with FCO::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CSO* Acknowledged. Sketek out.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: As a people of good faith we accept your apology and hope we can move beyond the misunderstanding.
Host Melodian_President says:
::Motions for everyone to sit at the negotiating table::
FCO_Durron says:
$ ::Nods politely to the President and takes a seat::
CTO_Senek says:
$::Sits down::
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: How are our scientists doing?
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Also keep listening for any messages from the Klingons or the Federation council. We can't afford to miss any of those messages.
FCO_Durron says:
$ President: Your people have been the victim of a great tragedy.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Resumes monitoring Klingon and Federation Channels::
CSO_Z`heta says:
@::Dresses a surgical robe:: DrGreenbeak: Hello doctor. I'm afraid the radiation is quite hazardous...  You can see for your self.
Host Melodian_President says:
All: As you know, our technology is based on the research we have done by examining what we now know is what you call Klingon Technology.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: Can you help them?
FCO_Durron says:
$ President: That technology advanced your people at a rate they were likely unprepared for. However your peoples have done most admirably under adverse circumstances.
Host Melodian_President says:
All: We have the Klingon CO in suspended animation, but unfortunately the rest of the crew was killed in the crash.  Our research into the technology had advanced us, but we are willing to return the actual components of the Klingon vessel to you, our research based on the technology is our own work product.
CTO_Senek says:
$::Stirs at the mention of the Klingon CO::
CSO_Z`heta says:
@DrGreenbeak: Yes, Dr. I believe we'll be able to help them. But I may have to bring more of our own technology down here.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: That is acceptable.  We never intended to take your research.  We will need to lift both vessels and return the Klingon captain to his people.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: I agree to your suggestion if it will help our people
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: Then we are in agreement.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: On this subject we are sir.
Host Melodian_President says:
All: What other issues do we need to discuss.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@DrGreenbeak: Thank you.  I'll contact my ship now.
CTO_Senek says:
$President: The Klingons will probably also want to see all records on their fallen warriors.
FCO_Durron says:
$::Nods at the CTO's comment::
CTO_Senek says:
$President: And knowing their culture, they may want all the intact bodies as well.
Host Melodian_President says:
CTO: I can understand that, that is acceptable as long as they do not attempt to use force.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*CO*: Captain, the CMO put the EMH researching the Melodian physical constitution.  I could really use his expertise.  I think the best way if to put a holo-emitter and placing the EMH online here on the North Pole.  Do I have permission, Sir?
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CSO* Permission granted. Proceed with that plan.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: The Klingon people are somewhat violent people.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*CO* Thank you Captain.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: Then I expect you to protect us
FCO_Durron says:
$President: And what you may consider violent they may consider a greeting.   We will grant you access to some of our files on the Klingon culture so that misunderstandings are avoided.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: That is not acceptable any hostile attempts will be met with violence.
CTO_Senek says:
$President: Of course, we'll mediate all your dealings with the Klingons if that is what you wish. Actually, I'd recommend it.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: OPS' scanners detect the wormhole is at half diameter and an object is coming through.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Sir, an object is coming through the wormhole.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: and the Andromeda will likely remain in orbit for some time yet
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Identify it.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Scans wormhole::
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: We will not be left to the mercy of the Klingons.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The Imperial Klingon Bird of Prey Emerges from the Event Horizon of the Wormhole.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: It's a Klingon BOP, sir. It's emerging from the wormhole's event horizon.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*OPS* Lt, I'm wondering if you can assist me on a task...  I need to put the EMH online here on the North Pole.  Can you go to ME and bring the equipment for this as well as establish the COM protocols so that the EMH program can be transferred, please?
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Open a channel.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Opens channel to BOP::
OPS_Capulette says:
*CSO* I'll get on that in just a second, there's a bit more pressing of a situation here.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: If the Klingons move against your people their will be grave repercussions for the Klingon people.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: This is Captain Ragnarok of the Phoenix, we hereby lay claim to this negotiation you are to leave at once.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*OPS* Let me know when you're ready.  Thank you. Z'heta out.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CSO* Indeed.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: This is Captain Sketek of U.S.S. Andromeda. What gives you the authority for that demand?
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: By  right that our ship is down there and you weak fools have done nothing.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The Klingon ship fires a disruptor at the Andromeda at 1/1000 power, no damage.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: 1/1000 disruptor power, sir. No damage.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: You have my word that if the Klingons attempt to move against you I will stand with your people.
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Raise shields.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@::Starts to assemble a COM station suited for the transfer of the EMH program::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: However do not load weapons or raise alerts.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Raises Shields::
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: That is not true. We have made progress in the peaceful ways of Federation. If you let us carry on, you will have your ship and the deceased warriors.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: However the Klingon people have changed a great deal over the past eighty years and their captain will be very violent if he is brought out of suspended animation on a federation vessel or on your planet.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: You Federation people are taking too long.
FCO_Lureng says:
::Begins plotting possible evasive tactics::
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The Klingon ship flies menacingly close to the Andromeda but does not have torpedoes or main disruptors charged, he is making a good show though.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO* Are you making any progress there? I haven't heard anything from you.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Sir, he got really close to us, right there.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: Excuse me for a moment sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: Our methods are efficient, precise, and they also show great respect towards your warrior race.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: What do you propose?
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: I demand to be part of the diplomatic process
FCO_Durron says:
$::Turns aside:: *CO* The President has agreed to allow us to lift both vessels and take the Klingon CO who is in suspended animation.
CTO_Senek says:
$President: I believe that it would be for the best if as soon as the Klingons arrive you'd contact them and inform them of all we've agreed upon here.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: Something wrong?
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO* What we need right now, urgently, is to get the deceased Klingons and the Klingon CO aboard the Andromeda.
Host  CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: You weak Vulcan, speak to me.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CO* Yes sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO* Try to transmit the coordinates quickly to the OPS.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The Bird of Prey continues to weave around the Andromeda's shields in a close harassing manner.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: You will be a part of this process. We will deliver you with the outcome you can accept.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The Bird of Prey fires little pot shots of 1/1000th power at the shields just to be a nuisance.
FCO_Durron says:
$ President: A situation has arisen aboard the Andromeda. I do not know the circumstances however we are prepared to transport the remains of the fallen Klingon warriors and the Klingon CO immediately.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Another low power shot, sir.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@DrGreenbeak: We have a "virtual" doctor that has been researching on your species. I intend to bring him down here so that "he" can help us.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO/CTO* There is a Klingon ship in the orbit. They are not very happy.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: Here are the Co-ordinates.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: What does "virtual" mean?
FCO_Durron says:
$ President: Thank you sir. ::Transmits co-ordinates to the OPS::
OPS_Capulette says:
*Main Engineering* CSO Z'heta is in need of a few holo-emitters to run the EMH on the planet side in a triage center, this is priority as a medical situation is at hand.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CO*: Understood. Coordinates have been transmitted sir.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Coordinates received, sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Drop our shields and raise red alert. OPS: Beam the Klingons up from the surface.
FCO_Durron says:
$ President: Apparently the Klingons have arrived.
TO_Sullivan says:
:: Drops shields, activates Red alert::
Host Melodian_President says:
::Looks concerned::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Begins transport::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: As soon as the transport is finished, raise our shields again.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: The  Bird of Prey flies close to some Melodian Sun ships, shoo-ing them away and causing some panic.
Host Melodian_President says:
Action: Transport Successful.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Aye sir.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Transport complete.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@DrGreenbeak: Well, let me put it this way, Doctor. This virtual fellow it will be like a machine, a robot, but it's so well conceived that can fool us into thinking that it's really a human being.  But it's a computer.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Raising shields. ::Raises shields::
FCO_Durron says:
$President: The Andromeda's presence will likely prevent them from doing any thing rash but we probably need to get some people working on raising the Klingon vessel.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CSO: I don’t understand the term "robot".
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: We have received the commanding officer of your crashed ship on Andromeda. By attacking us, you are also attacking one of your own. I recommend you cease your offensive activity.
FCO_Durron says:
$President: Your sun sail ships, how do they lift from your planet's gravity well?
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: I demand you return him to us immediately!
EO_Hardee says:
@*OPS* Sir, I've taken some holo emitters and beamed down during the shield break just a second ago, I'm looking for CSO Z'heta right now. Hardee out.
OPS_Capulette says:
*EO_Hardee* Please inform me when you're ready to receive the EMH.
EO_Hardee says:
@*OPS* Aye sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: You can make demands but I propose a diplomatic approach to the situation. That is what you were after a few minutes ago.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: The high presence of solar winds in our system ionizes the solar sails and creates a deflector bubble around the ship, we simply, wait for what you   would call "high tide" of the solar winds and catch one.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO/CTO* Since the Klingons want a very quick resolution of the situation, please try to deliver the coordinates of the devices and technology on the crashed ship that is small enough to be beamed.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@EO_Hardee: Please take care holo emitters while I'm talking to Dr. Greenbeak here.
EO_Hardee says:
@CSO: Aye, sir. ::Begins working with holo-emitters::
FCO_Durron says:
$President: Can you think of a way to lift the Klingon vessel into orbit? perhaps using your impressive anti gravitation devices?
CTO_Senek says:
$President: Apparently the Klingons are in quite a hurry. They'd like you to provide coordinates to all small Klingon devices you have on your planet.
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: The Klingon ship is not space worthy, it ruptured into 3 large sections and millions of tiny other pieces upon impact, the hull is totally compromised.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@DrGreenbeak: A robot is an autonomous machine, like a computer but with legs, so that it can move at will.  I think the best is for you to meet our virtual doctor and I'm sure you'll understand what I mean.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
::Looks confused and hopes to see this "robot" ::
EO_Hardee says:
@::Completes holo-emitter installation, Runs test program, a green terran frog wearing a top hat begins to dance on an empty triage bed::
FCO_Durron says:
$President: very well than we will worry about transporting the smaller devices at the soonest possible moment.
EO_Hardee says:
@::Grins:: CSO: The holo-emitters are installed, sir. ::Motions to frog::
Host Melodian_President says:
FCO: As agreed. ::Provides the co ordinates of the crash site::
FCO_Durron says:
$::Immediately transmits cords. to OPS:: *CO* Co-ordinates for the crash site are on-the-way, sir.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
::Fascinated by the frog::
CSO_Z`heta says:
@EO: I see.  Excellent, Mr. Hardee.  I already took care of the COM protocols, so let's see if the OPS can send in the EMH.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Coordinates received, sir.
CSO_Z`heta says:
@*OPS* Lt, we're ready to receive the EMH.  Can you please send it down?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: Due to our efficient methods, we are now able to provide you with the coordinates of your crashed ship. You can beam them up with your own technology. We will, however, tolerate no aggression towards the Melodians.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CSO* Aye sir. ::Begins transmitting EMH::
EO_Hardee says:
@CSO: Receiving, sir.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Transmit the crash site coordinates to the Klingons.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Transmits various coordinates to Klingon BOP::
CSO_Z`heta says:
@EO: Mr. Hardee, bring it online!
CTO_Senek says:
$President: Even though it may be difficult, the Klingon ship needs to be lifted. I believe that your anti-grav technology is our best option, not only because of its efficiency but it would also give a good impression of you to the Klingons.
EO_Hardee says:
@CSO: Aye sir. ::Activates EMH::
EMH says:
@::Materializes in room:: EO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency. Host Melodian_President says:
Pause USS Andromeda "First Contact" 10306.15
