Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::starts heading back to sickbay to deal with Meekin and steps into the TL:: TL: Sickbay
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::steps into sickbay and looks around to see where Meekin is::
Host Lea says:
::Sitting on the biobed::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::stands at the end of Meekin's biobed:: Meekin: How are you feeling?
Host Meekin says:
::Sits up, eyes downcast::  XO: I'm...fine.   ::Glances about just enough to look around the bay::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves through sickbay after taking a showing and changing into a clean uniform.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: I've had a chat with the CO about our current situation. Since you aren't a member of the Federation there is very little we can do for you right now. I know you had previously said you were willing to return to the station. You can apply for asylum aboard the ship and we will consider your application and keep you aboard until then. Otherwise we'd like to debrief you on the claims that you are making about the Chalak
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: Once that is done, we'll return you to the station. We will not mention how you aided us during this time and only say you were injured during the cargo bay decompression and were brought here for treatment.
Host Meekin says:
::Nods slowly::
Host Meekin says:
XO: I've been a low-level administrator for the better part of a year now. I've been trying to learn as much about Chalak operations as possible. I...admittedly investigated some places I shouldn't have been.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Stops at the door not wanting to interrupt.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: I can have you give your report to the CEO if you want. This will then be passed on to the diplomats who are reviewing the Chalak application for membership.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::frowns at the stellar cartography screen:: *SO Risk* Prep a type 8 warp probe for deployment.
Host Meekin says:
::Raises a breath, then nods::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Risk> ::nods to himself and heads for the torpedo launch room.:: *CSO* yes ma'am. destination?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Meekin: Very well. I'll get the CEO to deal with this debrief. Once you've made your decision please let him know and we'll take it from there.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::brings up the computer's suggested flight path, sees no obstacles in it and forwards it to the torpedo room.:: *SO Risk* I just forwarded the course to the launch room.
Host Meekin says:
XO: All right.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::turns and heads back into the main area to locate the CEO::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Risk> ::arrives and moves to the nearby computer screen pulling up the course and nodding then waving for one of the TOs to clear one of the torpedo tubes.  He accesses the probe launch program and selects Class Eight Warp Probe from the options.  He can feel the auto loaders humming to life as the torpedo is cleared from tube one.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sees the CEO:: CEO: I see you aren't far
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Notices Commander Conor approaching.::  XO:  Just getting back from cleaning up Sir.  I'm hoping they let me out of here soon.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I have one last job for you before you finish up here. I need you to debrief Meekin on her accusations against the Chalak, we'll send this on to the Federation once we're done here. I've also outlined her options as well. She'll let you know once she has made up her mind.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Yes sir.  I'll notify you once the report is complete.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Very good. ::turns and heads out::
Host Meekin says:
::Sighs::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves on towards Meekin’s room.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::moves over to the secondary screens and checks the board then nods:: *XO* Permission to attempt to contact the station sir?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Your contact or the station commander?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Stops at the door and knocks on the wall.::  Meekin:  Feel like some company?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::heading back towards the bridge::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*XO* I don't believe that it is possible using Chalak tech to contact one person on the station without going through station ops, sir
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Hold off contacting for the moment until I figure out how cold a reception we're going to get from them. I'll let you know once I've spoken to them
Host Meekin says:
::Smiles weakly, and waves him in:: CEO: Hello Tavish.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::steps into the TL:: TL: Bridge
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods:: *XO* Understood, sir
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::steps out onto the bridge:: OPS_Carlson: Hail the Chalak station
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Steps into the room and takes a seat on the biobed.::  Meekin:  All healed up?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
<OPS_Carlson> Yes sir ::hails the station::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the local sensors out of habit then sighs slightly::
Host Meekin says:
ACTION: After several moments of negotiation with station ops, Operations successfully connects the call between Ivara and Martinis
Host Meekin says:
::Nods:: CEO: Yes, it appears so.  ::Pauses::  Your Commander seems to have things planned pretty well.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
<SO_Ens_Risk> *CSO* Type Eight probe loaded in aft torpedo tube one course plotted into memory ETA twenty eight hours.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*SO Risk* Thank you. ::turns to another screen and powers up the probe data display:: *XO* Probe ready to launch from aft tube one on your order..
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Smiles.::  Meekin: He assumes so.  It’s the burden of command.  I believe they only see things in black and white.  There isn't any shades of grey in the universe.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Launch when ready.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: Hello again, Lieutenant Commander Power of the USS Andromeda, United Federation of Planets.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::tabs the command to power the aft torpedo tube long enough to fire one probe, then presses the 'launch' command and powers down the tube::
Host Meekin says:
<Hello again::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* Greetings once again Meerma Lim of the Gehmohr Science Station of the Chalak People
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  To be honest I'm not entirely sure.  ::Folds his hands in his lap.::  Normally I would say no, but I don't understand why Starfleet and the Federation would ignore your peoples warnings.
Host Meekin says:
COM: Andromeda: XO: I hope your people are well.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* They are fine thank you. I understood there was some sort of incident aboard the station. Is this under control at this stage, do you require any assistance from us in this matter?
Host Meekin says:
::Shrugs a bit:: CEO: Don't worry; we're used to it.  So... ::Glances toward the door Conor left through earlier:: I understand it's your job to debrief me?
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: Our people, including my brother Marlin, are in treatment, and have all been reported to eventually make a full recovery. We've begun making repairs to the accident site. Everything seems to be well in hand, but we appreciate your offer.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* I am pleased to hear that they will make a recovery. We also have one of your station crew aboard our ship who is currently undergoing medical treatment.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Yes and I understand you want to return.  ::Turns to look at Meekin.::  I'd rather you ask for asylum.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin>::Looks unsurprised:: XO: I see.  Was there another accident during your exit?
Host Meekin says:
::Sighs:: CEO: I...I don't know.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* Yes there was an exposure to a vacuum when the shield in the cargo bay dropped. I believe she is going to make a full recovery but I haven't had a chance to speak to her yet.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I look forward to seeing her well again. As we regain more systems, we are in the process of conducting a personnel audit, to ensure everyone has emerged safely. When you have the opportunity, I would appreciate if you would send us her identification number, so we can account for her
Host Meekin says:
absence.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes Meekin's hand.::  Meekin:  You can be more help to your people by bringing this to the Federation.  You locked away on a station under Chalak control, or worse, will not help your peoples cause.
Host Meekin says:
CEO: I....  ::Struggles a little, as her hand reflexively tightens:: CEO: I don't know if I can help...if I even have anything to offer the Federation.  Tavish... I think we were set up.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* I will get this information for you once I have had a chance to speak to her. In the meantime we have a favor to ask and I appreciate this is not the best of times given the current circumstances.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin>COM: Andromeda: XO: We'll do the best we can.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* We understand from our time aboard the station you have significantly advanced sensor technology compared to ours. We have some several outstanding problems which we'd like to try resolve but our sensor technology is preventing us from doing so. If we could get access to your sensor arrays for a short period or even a set of static scans over a time period it may help us in this matter.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Well do you have anyone on the base you trust?  ::Slips off the bed.::  We can try to contact them to see if there is anything new we can bring to the Captain.
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: As you've said, our resources are limited. However, I'll put you in contact with our sensor specialist. He'll determine what we can spare you.
Host Meekin says:
::Thinks briefly of someone she'd thought she could trust - before things got tough and he helped thrash her and McQuade, before leaving them locked up to be arrested and running off to try to escape detention himself - and shakes her head:: CEO: Not really.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*Meerma Lim* Thank you for your assistance in this matter
Host Meekin says:
CEO: I think there was data to find because I was looking for it. But others had been before me, without finding anything. I was so excited I'd come across the answer to our problems - right in the heat of the Federation negotiations - I never stopped to consider why.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin: So you think it was there to root out your people?  A way for the Chalak to undermine any rebellion?
Host Meekin says:
<Meerma_Lin> COM: Andromeda: XO: You're welcome. Martinis Mek of the Coloh family of Chalak Minor will contact you shortly.  Please let us know if we can be of further assistance, or if you learn anything of what happened here on the station.   ::Smiles tightly, and ends the comm::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Things are looking up. What was the name of your contact?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*XO* Martinis Mek
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Expect a phone call shortly then.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Also are you aware we borrowed some data from the station core?
Host Meekin says:
::Nods thoughtfully:: CEO: I was new, and overly eager to please. To be accepted by and valuable to the Gehmohr group. And when things inevitably went bad...there would be no outrage over someone like me.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::tilts her head slightly placing the colloquialism 'phone' then raises an eye brow:: *XO* No I was not.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Then going back is a death sentence for you.  You’re better off requesting asylum.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* I see. Check the data cores in the shuttle we returned from the station in. I don't want that data on the main computer network. Separate dedicated network only.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
*XO* Understood, I'll begin analysis shortly.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks at the CEO a moment, then looks away:: CEO: I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be convincing me of the exact opposite, Tavish.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls a tricorder out of his pocket.::  Meekin:  This look familiar?   ::Turns it over showing a burnt spot near the power core.::   Care to go to engineering and seeing if we can recover the data from this tricorder?   I was recording for most of our walk.  Might show us what was going on during the explosions.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CSO* Very good. Let me know when you make some progress. Power out.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Meekin:  Maybe, but I don't just walk away from a friend in need.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks at the tricorder interestedly, and nods:: CEO: It shouldn't hurt. Can we do it from here in your medical ward?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Shakes his head.::  Meekin:  Nah.  Let’s get out of here for a little bit.  I'm sure a walk around the ship will not hurt anything.
Host Meekin says:
::Looks about, as if afraid someone might think she's planning to escape, then glances up and smiles:: CEO: Great.   ::Slides of the biobed::
Host Meekin says:
