Host ACTDJohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "First Contact" 10306.22
OPS_Capulette says:
::On bridge monitoring communication and transporter locks::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Keep a close track on what the Klingon ship is doing.
CNS_Jordain says:
@::At the military base on the North Pole::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Watches Klingons::
CMO_Kostra says:
@::At the Melodian facility, doing best to avoid EMH::
FCO_Durron says:
$::Looks at the Melodian President patiently::
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Keep us at red alert and make certain our weapons are loaded.
Host MelodianPresident says:
Action: The Klingon Vessel continues its menacing flying but is causing no damage, attempting to intimate.
TO_Sullivan says:
::At Tactical, monitoring Klingon Flight Patterns:: CO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: What is our status?
FCO_Lureng says:
::At Conn plotting evasive maneuvers in case of Klingon Attack::
Host MelodianPresident says:
FCO: Our people report that the Klingon Vessel is harassing our sun ships this concerns me
EMH says:
@::Working on the Melodian Situation in the Planet side Hospital::
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: We're treated most of the patients struck with radiation poisoning, and I've created a small tutorial for Melodian doctors to fabricate more treatment if needed after we leave.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Klingon ship.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: Very good doc.  Lets hope that they will not need it.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Opens Channel::
FCO_Durron says:
$Melodian President: It is likely that the Klingon captain is simply attempting to intimidate your crews into doing something rash.  If you like I will contact the Andromeda to see what they can do about it.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Indeed, and I doubt they will. It appears the Klingons might be taking back what's theirs after all this time.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: We have given you the coordinates of your crashed ship. You wanted to get your ship back, I assume.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: I will deploy my warriors to the surface to reclaim our ship's pieces, the locals better not interfere.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CMO*: Dr. It should be known that we have a myriad of Klingon corpses and a Klingon-on-ice in your office. I don't suppose either yourself or the EMH would like to come back up to take care of them?
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: I hope they take it with them as fast as possible.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: Acknowledged. However keep in mind that we will tolerate no aggression towards the Melodians. Sketek out.
Host MelodianPresident says:
FCO: I do not like this imperialist Klingon tactic, they are obviously animals.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Nods to OPS to close the channel::
OPS_Capulette says:
::Closes channel::
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Well, "as fast as possible" to the Klingons would include a lot of disruptor fire
Host CO_Sketek says:
*Diplomatic AT* The Klingons are landing to the crash site of their ship. They will deploy some men from their crew there. The Melodians should not interfere with their work.
Host MelodianPresident says:
Action: OPS' panel indicates that Klingon warriors are materializing on the planet surface at the crash site, in full battle armor.
FCO_Durron says:
$MelodianPresident: Sir they are sentient beings just as you and my self are. However they are from a planet with a very harsh climate and...
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Sir, the Klingons have warriors on the planet, battle ready.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: In our terms not in Klingon, or we would have more then radiation.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CO* Understood.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Indeed.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: The Klingons are coming to reclaim their ship. Some of them have already landed near the crash site.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: That is somewhat alarming but also expected. We are also battle ready. Just keep monitoring the situation closely.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Indeed, sir.
Host MelodianPresident says:
Action: Tactical Panels show the Bird of Prey has lowered shields  powered down weapons and has settled into a non hostile orbit of Melodia IV.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: My advice would be to leave them alone and let them have what they want.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Sir, they've moved into a non-hostile position, powered down weapons and whatnot.
FCO_Durron says:
$*CO* The President is getting nervous. If you could get the Klingons to cool down it would be a good thing. sir.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: If they try to take more, or if they cause problems in any other way, the Federation is ready to protect your people.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*FCO* The Klingon ship on orbit has lowered down their weapons. I assume that means "to cool down".
FCO_Durron says:
$*CO* Thank you sir.
Host MelodianPresident says:
FCO/CTO: Very well I will take your advice, however as you know,  I can detect a lie or exaggeration with my empathic skills, you are obviously hiding the truth that the Klingons are a conquering race.
CMO_Kostra says:
@::Hears noises, shouts from outside::
CMO_Kostra says:
@DrGreenbeak: Doctor, what's going on out there?
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Also hears noises::  CMO: What is that?
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: I've no idea
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: It is not our business to give you impressions of other races, especially of those that aren't a part of the Federation.
FCO_Durron says:
$Melodian President: The Klingon vessel has settled into a stable orbit and should not be harassing your ships any more.
Host MelodianPresident says:
CTO: You are concealing the truth, that much  is obvious, on the one hand you ask us to accept peace on the other you give vague answers.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Have you seen Dr. Greenbeak? Maybe he can tell us what's going on out there.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CMO* Doctor?
CMO_Kostra says:
@*OPS* Kostra here.
Host MelodianPresident says:
Action: Sensors indicate that the Bird of Prey is beaming pieces of the Klingon vessel up to its cargo bay.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: I don't know where he is.  I'll go and see where he is.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CMO* What would be your preference, we have Klingons in your sickbay, would you like to come back and monitor them or shall I bring back the EMH?
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: I have not concealed and will not conceal any relevant information from your people.
Host DrGreenbeak says:
CNS: It appears the Klingons are currently removing pieces of their ship, the military is not happy.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: The Klingon vessel is beaming the pieces of the Klingon vessel into the Klingon vessel's cargo bay.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Very good.
CMO_Kostra says:
@*OPS*: Go ahead and bring up the EMH. We may have a situation here to monitor at the base. We're hearing noises.
OPS_Capulette says:
*CMO* Good deal.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: The fact that the Klingons are a warrior people was brought to your attention quite early.
Host MelodianPresident says:
CTO: Tell me the truth then. What is your military evaluation of the Klingons and this situation
OPS_Capulette says:
::Begins EMH Transfer::
CNS_Jordain says:
@DrGreenbeak: I see. I can understand them but it's for the best.
EMH says:
::Materializes in sickbay:: CO_Icecube: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.
CMO_Kostra says:
@::overhears conversation:: DrGreenbeak: If they're just beaming pieces up, why all the shouting out there? I thought I heard Klingons...
EMH says:
*CO* Captain, I have a Klingon-sickle in my sickbay, what should I do with it?
Host CO_Sketek says:
*EMH* You do not have to do anything with it.
CNS_Jordain says:
@::Looks at the CMO:: CMO: Klingons?
EMH says:
*CO* Oh, okay then, good show, sir. ::Sits at desk and reviews files::
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: I could have sworn I heard some. I may just be hearing things. DrGreenbeak: Doctor? Do you have any info from your military friends?
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: Currently the Klingons are greatly outgunned by our ship.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: If the Klingons start behaving in an unacceptable manner, we can easily destroy them. However, a war with the Klingon Empire is the last thing we want.
Host MelodianPresident says:
::Relaxes::
EMH says:
CO_Icecube: Well, I guess since we're going to be spending a great deal of time together, we should get to know each other. I'm Mark VIII. I'm a Scorpio. I enjoy long walks in Sickbay and the Emily’s; Dickenson and Bronte.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: We demand the return of the crew
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Have they already beamed up all the remains of their ship?
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: What do you think?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: They're to capacity, but they don't have room for the whole ship.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: I didn’t know what to think? Are you sure you heard Klingons?
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: We can return your crew if you are willing to leave immediately after you have received the crew.
Host Captain_Marshall says:
CO: What is the status of raising the Athena?
Host CO_Sketek says:
Marshall: We have not even begun yet.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Almost positive. There was group of Klingons from their embassy on Betazed that fought with us during the Dominion occupation. I learned a good bit of it. I definitely heard something similar.
Host CO_Sketek says:
Marshall: However the Melodians have agreed to give us every right to lift it up.
Host Captain_Marshall says:
::Looks thoughtful::
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: Very well. I'll contact the Andromeda.  COM: Andromeda: CO: Captain this is the Counselor
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: CNS: This is the captain.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: We still have the issue of raising the Klingon cruiser. Considering their available equipment, I'm almost certain that the Klingons are unable to lift it all by themselves.
CNS_Jordain says:
@*CO* Sir the CMO is almost positive that he heard Klingon voices down here. Can you scan for Klingons in a 2km radius of us?
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* There is no need to scan. We know that there are Klingons down there. They should not be hostile.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* They are there to assist in lifting up the remains of their ship.
CNS_Jordain says:
@*CO* Very well sir, Thank you for the info. Jordaïn out.
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: Doc, it seems that there are Klingons down here but there job is to help lift the remains of the Klingon vessel.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: And they're not hostile? I find that hard to believe.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: We demand the return of our fallen warriors!
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: So do I but this is what the Captain said.  We better keep our eyes open.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Gives Captain the "May I please mute him" look::
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: We have given you the terms. We will give you the crew if you are willing to leave through the wormhole after you have received the crew.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Indeed. Actually, since we're pretty much done here, maybe we should return to the ship, so as to not seem to be interfering with their work
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: That is unacceptable, we are your allies and refuse to be treated as less than an equal partner!
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
Action: The Medical Away team has successfully cured all the Melodians of antimatter poisoning, the Melodians are very grateful.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: We are aware of our alliance. However we are also aware that you have no alliance whatsoever with the Melodians. Our duty is to defend all life forms, including the Melodians. After you have received your crew, you have no business here.
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: We wish to....open diplomatic relations with them as you do and study their culture <lie>
OPS_Capulette says:
::Gives Captain the "You don't buy that for a second, do you?" look::
CNS_Jordain says:
@CMO: That is indeed a good idea, if the captain does not have another job for us.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: In normal circumstances there is no wormhole and they are way beyond the area you regularly operate in. Any relationship you have with the Melodians is meaningul only for this next few hours.
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Quite.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: However we can grant you to send a delegation of three officers at maximum to the Melodian president. Naturally Federation security officers will be present but I assume that is no problem at all.
CNS_Jordain says:
@Com: CO: Jordaïn to Sketek
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* Sketek here.
CNS_Jordain says:
@Com: CO: Sir we are done down here. If you have no further orders for us on the planet we would like to return to the Andromeda
Host CO_Ragnarok says:
COM: USS Andromeda: Never mind we have no interest in this pitiful culture, I shall withdraw my people, and make a strafing run on the wreckage to scuttle the ship.
Host CO_Sketek says:
COM: IKS Phoenix: You may destroy the crashed ship if you wish.
Host CO_Sketek says:
*CNS* You may beam up.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Sir, if I'm not mistaken, the ship is in close proximity to the medical center. Blasts would cause damage to the medical center, would they not?
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
Action: The Klingon warriors beam back to the BOP.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: I sure hope that is not the case. Prepare to issue emergency beam ups if there are people in danger.
CNS_Jordain says:
@COM: Andromeda: CO: Aye sir  CMO: If you are ready to beam up we can go
CMO_Kostra says:
@CNS: Let's go
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir ::Monitors surrounding area::
CNS_Jordain says:
@COM: Andromeda: 2 to beam up
OPS_Capulette says:
::Initiates transport of CMO and CNS::
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
FCO: My people report to me that my scientists have been cured thank you, I request that you provide us with the technology so that we can handle antimatter properly.
FCO_Durron says:
$::Looks at the President and lets things roll around in his head for a minute::
Host CO_Sketek says:
*Diplomatic AT* The Klingons are about to shoot their crashed ship to pieces. I insist immediate evacuation of all nearby areas from all Melodians.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Materializes on the Andromeda::
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: The area around the crash site should be evacuated immediately.
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
CTO: Why?
CMO_Kostra says:
::Materializes on Andromeda:: CNS: Excuse me, Counselor, gotta go see that frozen Klingon. ::runs to Sickbay::
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: The Klingons decided that they don't want to lift the ship, but they don't want to leave it there either.
CTO_Senek says:
$Melodian President: So they have decided to destroy it.
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
Action: The Klingon BOP ignites its impulse engines to full burn, breaks orbit and begins a steep dive towards the surface.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Makes his way out of the transporter room heading to the bridge:: CMO: Ok, see you later
FCO_Lureng says:
CO: They're beginning a planetary descent.
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
CTO: I don’t have time to evacuate everyone that could take weeks
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: How many people are in the danger area?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Scanning, sir ::Scans area:: 40, sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives a fem moments later on the bridge:: CO: The doc and myself are safly back sir
CTO_Senek says:
$*CO* The base cannot be evacuated in this time. The Klingons must not destroy the cruiser yet.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Start beaming them away.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Begins mass transport::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Can we beam each and everyone in time?
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Klingon shields and weapons are at full power.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: I believe so, sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: What is happening?
CMO_Kostra says:
::Arrives in Sickbay:: Computer: Deactivate EMH. 
EMH says:
    What? ::disappears::
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
Action: The Melodians see the Klingon ship entering the atmosphere leaving a flaming re-entry trail like a meteor and become afraid.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: The Klingons have decided to destroy the ship. There are people down there in the blast area.
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: What?
CMO_Kostra says:
::Examines frozen Klingon captain:: How do I say 'Don't shoot' again? ta' ghobe' qul, I think.. hrm..
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: They are about to destroy their ship in the pole area.
CNS_Jordain says:
CO: They got to be kidding
Host CO_Sketek says:
CNS: They don't seem to agree with you. OPS: How is the beaming going?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: It's going, sir. I've got 20 of them, sir. But the BOP looks like it's about to fire.
CNS_Jordain says:
OPS: How many do you got all ready and where are they?  I'll go to meet them
Host CO_Sketek says:
TO: Load phasers and fire at the Klingons.
TO_Sullivan says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Readies phasers, fires at the Klingons::
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Continue beaming.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Continues mass transporter operation:: CNS: TR 1-4, Cargo bay 1 & 2
CMO_Kostra says:
::Knocks on ice, testing the hardness, scans life signs for irregularities::
CNS_Jordain says:
OPS: Thanks  ::Orders security teams to see to it that all the Melodians are being moved to cargo bay 1, Heads for Cargo Bay 1::
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: 24 out of forty received, sir.
CNS_Jordain says:
::Arrives at the cargo bay and comforts the Melodians there that they are safe and sound::
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
Action: The Andromeda's phasers fire from orbit at the Klingon vessel, shocking it, but bouncing harmlessly away, the Klingon vessel incinerates the wreckage with pinpoint accuracy causing no damage to the surrounding area and heads back to the stars.
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: The vessel has been destroyed.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Any casualties?
CTO_Senek says:
$::Wonders what's happening up in space::
CMO_Kostra says:
CO_Icecube: Well, what _are_ we going to do with you? Guess we'll just wait until we send you back to your ship. Good thing we won't be fighting each other, right?
OPS_Capulette says:
CO: No damage to the surrounding area. I'm reading some minor injury, but no casualties.
Host CO_Sketek says:
OPS: Understood.
OPS_Capulette says:
::Monitors Melodians on ship, begins coordinating beam-down::
CNS_Jordain says:
Self: Why is it always us with the big trouble?
Host MelodianPresident1 says:
