Host AGMDave says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Morgan says:
::on bridge starring at the viewscreen and the Skree in front of them::

CEO_JJ says:
::heads toward the door of his quarters but walks into the wall right beside the door as it opens... slowing goes around the corner and then down the cooridor towards the Turbolift:: TL: Sickbay... gently

CNS_Savar says:
::On the Bridge of the Thomas at Aux Sci:: Computer, identify any possible exterior entrance points.

SEC_Arconus says:
::At the Tactical station conducting passive scans of the Skree ship::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks over at Ambassador::  Amb:  Shall we try and hail them again?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: No.  It is up to them to make the next move.  We are here at thier request.

CEO_JJ says:
::takes the nice TL ride... TL Stops... walks out and down the cooridor::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::thinks more like their mercy, but doesn't say anything just goes back to examining the ship::

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: It might not be a bad idea to prepare a spot on the ship for a fluidic environment.

SEC_Arconus says:
All:  And now we see who blinks first?

DrArman says:
::Stands there talking to his son::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Very well.

CEO_JJ says:
::doors to Sickbay open... coughs really big::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  Arrange to have a room set up for aquatic visitors.

DrArman says:
J: Please keep it down ::Motions to his sleeping son::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Sir I am recieving a signal from the Skree.

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Put them through to the Ambassador.

CEO_JJ says:
Arman: I would love to doctor.... but at the moment my lungs are full and don't want to be quiet

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::patches through the signal.::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The bridge speakers fill the air with clicks, whispers and squeaks.

DrArman says:
J: Fine, what can I do for you?

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Running it through the universal translater now sir.

CEO_JJ says:
Arman: Anything... diagnose and treatment especially

Host CO_Morgan says:
::mutters under breath::  I hope that was hello...

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree ship begins to turn around to leave the area.

OPS_Danforth says:
*EO*: Can you please report to Cargo Bay 2?  I need some assistance in setting up an aquatic room.

Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks at Ambassador::  Amb:  Did we make them mad?  Already?

CNS_Savar says:
::Thinks, "Is that it?"::

DrArman says:
::Scans J:: All you have is a mild flu, as long as you dont get a bad fever, theres nothing I can do

EO_McDuggle says:
*OPS* on my way

OPS_Danforth says:
::heads to TL::

OPS_Danforth says:
TL: Cargo Bay 2.

CEO_JJ says:
Arman: At least something for the cough ::coughs... louder than last time::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Their signal reads as...follow us.

EO_McDuggle says:
::Heads for TL:: TL: cargo bay 2

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree vessel goes to full impulse.

OPS_Danforth says:
::After arriving in Cargo Bay 2, I examine the area::

SEC_Arconus says:
::Adjusts the translater to account for a fluidic environment::

Host CO_Morgan says:
All: Alright then.  FCO:  Lay in a parrallel course.  Full impulse.

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I suggest we follow.

Host CO_Morgan says:
<FCO_Ahab>:  Aye Sir.  Course layed in.

DrArman says:
::Walks up to the replicator:: Computer can I have a Fanalian toddy, with just a hint of lemon

OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Ensign, we need to use transparent aluminum to set up a tank here for aquatic visitors then we need to fill it.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Any idea where we might be following them to?

DrArman says:
::Takes his drink and hands it to the CEO:: THis is all I can give you

EO_McDuggle says:
::arrivals in cargo bay 2:: OPS: Sir do you know what size you want this room

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: ::shrugs:: You know as much as I do at this point, Commander.

CNS_Savar says:
::Moves to Flight Control::

CNS_Savar says:
::Lays in parallel course:: CO: Course engaged.  Full impulse.

OPS_Danforth says:
::notices the unusual movements of the ship::  Self: I wonder whose at the helm?

SEC_Arconus says:
::Brings up the star chart for the area and looks for a likely planet::

CEO_JJ says:
::looks at drink:: Arman: What is it?

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Any likely planets?

OPS_Danforth says:
EO: I think it would be best if we filled half the Cargo Bay and made the other half suitable for us.  That way we can interact with the Skree in a comfortable setting.

DrArman says:
J: Fanalian toddy, its used to treat a caugh

OPS_Danforth says:
EO: If you need anything else, I'm going to be on the bridge.

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  None on this heading sir.

CNS_Savar says:
Amb/CO: We are heading into Skree space.

OPS_Danforth says:
::heads to TL:: TL: Bridge.

EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Alright Sir i'll get a crew right on it

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Do we have much in the way of stellar cartography for this area?

OPS_Danforth says:
::exits TL to bridge and sees CNS at flight control; takes seat at OPS::

DrArman says:
::Looks over to becky sleeping on the Biobed::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, would you like me to relieve the Counselor now?

CEO_JJ says:
::takes a sip:: Arman: the coughs better than this stuff ::coughs again:: whose the new comer?

CEO_JJ says:
::points to the baby::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Not much within Skree space sir.  Just long range scan reports.

EO_McDuggle says:
::gets crew working on tank in gargo bay 2::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  No lets let teh Cns, play for a while.  Alert Stellar Cartography to begin mapping as we go.  Might as well get something from this trip.

DrArman says:
J: This is your new godson David Micheal

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Sir, I am not playing.

OPS_Danforth says:
::remembers CO's scowl from last time and chuckles to self::

CEO_JJ says:
::looks at the child:: Arman: best keep him occupied when he wakes up, I don't think he's the kind that likes to lay around.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  Of course not.  I'm sure that dip to starboard was quite necessary and logical.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Can't help it anymore and laughs::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After travelling for half an hour at full impulse, the Skree vessel stops dead in space.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: In order to minimize fuel consumption, I utilized a solar wind.

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  They have stopped sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  All stop

CNS_Savar says:
::All stop:: CO: Aye, sir.

CEO_JJ says:
::wonders why he has stayed in Sickbay so long::

Host CO_Morgan says:
All:  Well...?

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Sensors are detecting a large mass to starboard.

DrArman says:
J: its been a wonderful talk, but you should return to your duties

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  There is a large gravitic mass to starboard.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Unable to localize at this time.

Host CO_Morgan says:
CNS/SEC:  Nature?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: To Thomas' relative starboard, a sphere appears inthe same manner the Skree vessel did.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: I speculate there is a large ship, or fleet of ships in the position.

CEO_JJ says:
Arman: I'll see what I can't do in Engineering at my desk... keep an eye on the kid, Tari will want to see him before you grows to much ::walks out, then tries to figure out what he was just talking about::

OPS_Danforth says:
::scans sphere::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::whistles low::  I wish we had had that kind of cloaking tech during the dominion war...All:  Report please.

OPS_Danforth says:
::boosts scanning range by rerouting power::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Possibly a station of some sort?  It is quite large.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Scanning the sphere now sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  Rough Volume?

Host CO_Morgan says:
Sec:  Any sign of weapons?

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Calculating now sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
It's 115 KM in diameter sir and contains a fludic environment.

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  It is armed to the teeth.  Much as their ship is armed.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Actually, sir, it's 155 KM in diameter.

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I would guess this is their version of a starbase or outpost.

CEO_JJ says:
::enters TL:: TL: Engineering

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  So we're either at one heck of a base or something along the lines of a mobile homeworld.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Yes my thoughts as well, though from the size, one would wonder if the Skree are somewhat nomadic.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: It's 1.9 million cubic KM's in volume sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  Acknowledged.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Habitable class M environment stabilizing within the sphere.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Maybe it's both, sir.

DrArman says:
::Sees becky starting to wake up::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Looks like the welcome mat is being rolled out.

OPS_Danforth says:
*EO*: How's the Cargo Bay coming along, Ensign?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I'll send out a signal indicating that we are ready.

Host Amb_JBru says:
::pushes a few buttons on his auxiliary console::

CEO_JJ says:
::enters Engineering... glad only a few Engineers are there and off in their duties... heads for his Office::

EO_McDuggle says:
*OPS* Just finished filling it with water Sir

Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS:  Any lifesigns from the sphere.

DrArman says:
Becky: Why hello ::Smiles::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir...about 5,000 lifesigns.

Becky says:
::smiles:: Arman: Hello Hon

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: All, indeterminate at the moment.

EO_McDuggle says:
::heads for TL:: TL: engeering

CEO_JJ says:
::sits down in chair and puts head on table top for a few moments::

DrArman says:
::Gives her a kiss on the forhead:: Becky: do you think you could walk?

Host CO_Morgan says:
::to self:: Seems more along the lines of an outpost...

Becky says:
Arman: I am ready to walk

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, all 5,143 lifesigns appear to be Skree.

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Any response to the Ambassador's message?

CNS_Savar says:
CO: I would think so.  Unless they suffered a planitary catastrophy, that would probably not be a population.

DrArman says:
Becky: care to go for a walk then?

Becky says:
Arman: sure

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I have gotten a response, Commander.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  I concur.  Though we still don't know anything about their society, it could be a tribal group or something along those lines as well.

Host Amb_JBru says:
OPS: Fly to these coordinates I'm sending to your console.

CEO_JJ says:
::pops up from desk as a small computer chirp goes off after I accidently press a button... un-confirms the command::

DrArman says:
::Hands Becky her civilian clothes::

EO_McDuggle says:
::arrivals in engering and see the chief in his office:: CEO: Hi Chief

Host CO_Morgan says:
::nods for the crew to follow Ambassador's instructions::

Becky says:
::puts then on::

CEO_JJ says:
EO: Ensign ::straightens uniform in chair:: what's going on with the Skree situation?

OPS_Danforth says:
::nods to CO and carries out instructions:: Amb: Yes, sir.

Host Amb_JBru says:
::sends coordinates to Savar's console::

DrArman says:
::Offers his hand out for hers::

CEO_JJ says:
::presses a few buttons and acts like he is doing something::

Becky says:
::takes his hand::

DrArman says:
::Tells the nurse to keep an eye on david and leaves SB with becky::

CNS_Savar says:
::Recieves coordinates and lays in a course:: Amb/CO: Engaging course.  Approaching at 1/4 impulse.

OPS_Danforth says:
::looks at Savar as if to say, I didn't receive the coordinates::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Did the message have anymore instructions?

CNS_Savar says:
::Looks to Danforth as if to say, I did::

CTO_Matt says:
::gets up from underneath the Tactical console, having been working on getting the sensors back online::

EO_McDuggle says:
CEO : sir we just build a tank in cargo bay 2 to recieve them if need be

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Sir I have arranged a number of mini self contained breathing devices for the away team.  But weapons are another matter when dealing with fluidic environments.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Sir, we are heading towards a large set of what appear to be bay doors.

CEO_JJ says:
EO: Ah... interesting idea, have you conditioned the water in the tank to suit the needs of the Skree?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: Not that I could tell.  We have just been told to go to these coordinates.

DrArman says:
Becky: Hon, I have a question...

OPS_Danforth says:
::nods in acknowledgment as if to say, the Ambassador must be stressed::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO/Amb:  There is a large bay door near the equator of the sphere.

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Acknowledged.  I don't think that weapons will be much help in this mission.

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  Well, do we knock?

Becky says:
Arman: Yes, what is it?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: As the Thomas nears the bay doors, they begin to open.

CNS_Savar says:
::Watches the doors loom close and hopes they open soon::

DrArman says:
Becky: I know this sounds impatient but when are we getting married?

EO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Yes Sir , I got the information I needed from OPS

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Doors are opening.

Becky says:
Arman: Lets go talk to the Captain about that

CNS_Savar says:
::Hold the ship steady as they enter the bay doors::

CEO_JJ says:
EO: good job ::checks power distribution just to continue acting as if something is being done::

CTO_Matt says:
::watches the bay doors open in some kind of sphere that wasn't there when he went to work on the sensors::

DrArman says:
::Looks out a viewport and sees the Giant sphere:: Uh I'm guessing he's busy now

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  Steay as she goes...

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, we can attempt communication with the Skree, but we're currently at about 12% effectiveness.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: aye.

Becky says:
Arman: It does not hurt to ask, even if he is busy

OPS_Danforth says:
::shivers at Savar's piloting and remembers to tease him later::

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I've been instructed to shut down our engines.  That is, I've been told to relay that to you.

CNS_Savar says:
::Looks over at Danforth and has the illogical urge to submit him to a complete psych analysis after the mission::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Very well.  Cns:  You heard the Ambassador.  Power down the engines.

CNS_Savar says:
Amb/CO: Shutting down engines, ::Pushes the button marked "Cut Engines"::

DrArman says:
::Points to the giant sphere outside of the ship:: Becky: That makes it seem that our wedding wont mean much

Host CO_Morgan says:
::hopes they won't need to go anywhere in a hurry::

CEO_JJ says:
::sends a power surge to the Environmental Systems to test their surge protectors... results are good::

Becky says:
Arman: What is it?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Thomas is jolted by tractor beams.  Thomas is being pulled through a large tunnel and the bay doors close behind.

OPS_Danforth says:
::notices power surge by CEO::

DrArman says:
Becky: We are making diplomatic contact with this powerful race

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, I have emergency power ready to be diverted to the engines if need be.

CEO_JJ says:
::shakes in chair.... and thinks it is because of his coughing::

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Sir, tractor beams locking onto us::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  Good.  Keep thing on standby...

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: We're being pulled in....

CTO_Matt says:
SEC:  Ensign, any more data from your optical scans that might be useful?

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Thier tractor beams are guiding us through their docking channel.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After travelling for 10 minutes, the Thomas is pulled into a large chamber with a class M environment.

Becky says:
Arman: Ahh ok

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the atmosphere in this chamber is...class M.

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  Report

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Ship at full stop.

SEC_Arconus says:
CTO:  Not alot of data yet.  I'm going to have the computer corolate it.

CTO_Matt says:
SEC:  Ok, Ensign, keep up the good work.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Prepare an away team, sir?

DrArman says:
Becky: Oh well, we can still talk about the plans ::Continues hand in hand down the corridor::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Ops:  We'll see what our hosts would like us to do...

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I'm being instructed that we should land the ship right here and exit the craft.

CNS_Savar says:
Amb: Any specific coordinates?

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Not much on sensors, Sir.  Just a breathable atmosphere out there.

Host CO_Morgan says:
::raises eyebrows::  Amb:  The entire crew?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: Well, the translation is sketchy, but that would be my interpretation.

OPS_Danforth says:
::very skeptical at Amb's translation::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  I can't say that I like the sound of this at all.

CTO_Matt says:
::hears the Ambassador's comment and makes a mental note about that being a very bad idea::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  Please try to get a clarification.

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  I recommend against that sir.  Regulations clearly forbid it.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, recommend that a skeleton crew remain on board comprised of transporter personnel and engineering.

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I have tried to convey that we cannot do that, but I have gotten no response.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  In the meantime move us toward the coordinates, on minimul thrusters, lets take our time getting there shall we.

CNS_Savar says:
All: Prepare for landing.  ::Activates the landing struts and takes the Thomas slowly down on thrusters::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::motions for XO to come over:; XO:  I don't like this at all.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Thomas rocks as though hit by a beam weapon.

Host CO_Morgan says:
ALL:  Report!

CNS_Savar says:
::Attempts to stabilize the Thomas::

DrArman says:
::Holds onto becky tight:: Becareful, were landing

OPS_Danforth says:
::almost thrown from his seat, grips the station console for support::

XO_Danos says:
::sidles over towards the CO::  CO: I can't say that I like it either.

CTO_Matt says:
::checks his sensors::

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  Some sort of beam hit us.

OPS_Danforth says:
::checks ship status::

CEO_JJ says:
::hears blue alert:: EO: looks like we're going to meet the Skree.... wow... maybe we have! *Bridge*: Main Engineering to Bridge.... what's going on up there?

Host CO_Morgan says:
SEC:  Specifics.  Damge?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: They want the entire crew out.  That was a warning shot.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Continue on course?

XO_Danos says:
*CEO* We appear to have been hit by some form of beam weapon.

OPS_Danforth says:
Amb: Pardon me, Ambassador, but why?

SEC_Arconus says:
CO:  We cannot surrender the ship sir!

OPS_Danforth says:
Amb: What possible reason would they have to want us ALL out there?

CEO_JJ says:
EO: get the analysis on the beam... find the frequency

Host CO_Morgan says:
XO:  What a choice.  Sit here and get blown to bits or land and give up the ship.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Continue on course?

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I would guess that it is just their apparent paranoia.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  What is your recommendation sir.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Cns:  Land the ship

EO_McDuggle says:
CEO: working on it Chief

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Aye, sir.

XO_Danos says:
CO: I suppose it would be too much to question why beings with their technology want a ship like this one.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Sec:  I have no intention of surrendering this vessel

CEO_JJ says:
::readies the auxilary power systems to shore up the shields just in case::

SEC_Arconus says:
Amb: Paranoia or not sir we must retain control of the Thomas.

CNS_Savar says:
::Feels the ship shudder as the landing struts take the force of the ship going down.  Engines cut automatically::

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: Land the ship, then just have myself and the senior staff disembark.  We can stall for a time and hope that suffices for them.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Sir, with their technology, I do not believe they would want to 'take' our ship.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Amb:  I'm glad we think along the same lines...

Host CO_Morgan says:
All: I want senior staff with me.  XO, CTO, CSEC and Cns.  Ops you have the bridge.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Slaves FC to OPS console::

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Sir, weapons??

SEC_Arconus says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_JJ says:
::hears the computer call for senior staff:: *CO* ::cough:: Sorry, sir... but do you want me to come along?

DrArman says:
*CO* Aye sir

Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO:  Type one phasers.

Host Amb_JBru says:
CO: I am sending a message that we are preparing to disembark, but because of our primitive technology, it will take some time.

XO_Danos says:
CO: Ackmowledged.  OPS: Be ready to wipe the computer core if they try to obtian information they shouldn't have.

CTO_Matt says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::pulls out his phaser from underneath his console::

DrArman says:
Becky: Duty calls, Let me walk you back to Sickbay

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
::takes the center seat as two ensigns take FCO and OPS stations::

Host CO_Morgan says:
*CEO*: Claymore, stay with the Thomas.  If things go wrong, I'll be counting on you to bring us out of the frying pan.

XO_Danos says:
::tucks the tiny phaser into his belt, and discreetly checks to make sure he didn't lose that PADD in all of the chaos::

Becky says:
Arman: that is ok, i can make it back myself ::heads back to sickby::

CNS_Savar says:
::Tucks Type I into belt, and tricorder::

DrArman says:
Becky: Wait one second...

Host CO_Morgan says:
All:  Let's go.  ::heads for Airlock, picking up a phaser from the arms trunk at back of bridge::

CEO_JJ says:
*CO*: transporter locks will be ready... I'm heading for the Bridge ::stands up:: EO: do you want to come with me or stay here?

OPS_Danforth says:
*Transporter Chief*: Keep a lock on our people and be ready to get them out of there at a moment's notice.

CTO_Matt says:
::follows the CO to the airlock::

DrArman says:
::Pulls out a hand phaser:: Becky: Take this just incase

XO_Danos says:
::moves to the airlock, a step behind Morgan::

CNS_Savar says:
::Follows crew::

Host CO_Morgan says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, I realize you are busy with a new child, but I need you at teh airlock, full medical kit.

DrArman says:
::Gives his love a kiss and walks off to the bridge::

CNS_Savar says:
Amb: do you think tricorder scanning would upset the Skree?

EO_McDuggle says:
CEO: I'll stay here and moniter system from here

SEC_Arconus says:
::Follows the CO and retreives a rifle as well::

DrArman says:
*CO* On my way sir

Becky says:
::takes phaser::

DrArman says:
::Heads to the airlock::

Host Amb_JBru says:
CNS: I don't think it would, Counselor.

CEO_JJ says:
EO: Good luck ::walks out of Engineering and to the Turbolift:: TL: Bridge ::cough::

CNS_Savar says:
Amb: Then I will set it to record.

Host CO_Morgan says:
*Ops*:  See if you can't mask the life signs on the Thomas, maybe they won't know how many people are left on board.  Start slowly having crew move off the vessel at my command.  Groups no larger than 10, every 5 to 10 minutes.

CTO_Matt says:
SEC:  I would suggest putting the rifle away and getting a phaser I.

OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.

EO_McDuggle says:
::thinks we'll need all the luck we can get::

DrArman says:
::Waits at the airlock::

SEC_Arconus says:
CTO:  The best defense is a good offense.

CNS_Savar says:
::Waits for CO's command to disembark::

OPS_Danforth says:
*All*: Attention, all personel...you will be receiving assignments on how to disembark the ship.  Please wait until given the order to leave.

DrArman says:
::Nods to the CNS::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::arrives at airlock::  Gentlemen lets go.  ::walks out down to surface::

CTO_Matt says:
SEC:  We do not want to intimidate, or even frighten the Skree.  And besides, the CO said phaser Is.

CEO_JJ says:
::arrives on Bridge and coughs as soon as the Turbolift doors swoosh shut::

CTO_Matt says:
::follows the CO out the airlock::

XO_Danos says:
::tucks a spare commbadge up his sleeve and follows the Commander::

CNS_Savar says:
::Follows::

DrArman says:
::Follows the CTO::

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: Chief, glad you're here.  Can you mask the life signs on the ship so the Skree don't know how many there are?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::arrives at the end of the ramp, looks around for a moment::

SEC_Arconus says:
CTO:  Right.  :: Puts phaser rifle back into the lockerand withdraws a phaser 2 and slips it into his boot::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: As the crew exits the Thomas, they spot armored and helmeted humanoids approaching.  They do not appear to hold weapons.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Steps off and pulls out tricorder::

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: have one of the medical utility truck leak thermyon radiation... that will mask everyone pretty well.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Amb:  Interesting, I wasn't sure they would be humaniod.

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: How long can we do that?  Will the crew develop radiation poisoning?

DrArman says:
@::Had fun climbing down with his medkit in his hand::

XO_Danos says:
@CO: We can't be entirely certain they are, even though they wear humanoid-shaped armor.  It could be an illusion to mask their true nature.

CTO_Matt says:
@::notices the approaching 'guards' and does not make a move towards his phaser, not knowing if they are hostile or friendly yet::

CNS_Savar says:
@CO/Amb: Even though they do not look it, these are Skree.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Nods to the ensign at OPS to leak out thermyon radiation on all decks...slowly::

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: No... we can do it for as long as we have power... thermyon radiation isn't tissue degenerating, but we will feel some noticable heat differences around the ship

Host CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  Or maybe they consider it a friendly gesture, something to put us at ease.

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: Thanks, Chief.

XO_Danos says:
@CO: There's a lovely thought.

Host Amb_JBru says:
@CO: Stay here, I will greet them.

SEC_Arconus says:
@CO:  They are most likely thier version of an environmental suit for this atmosphere.

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: Is there any way for us to get around that tractor beam if we have to?  Would a concentrated blast from our photon torpedos do the trick?

DrArman says:
@::Stands there not knowing what he's supposed to be doing::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  What can I say, I used to be a CTO, paranoia is a prime requesite.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Amb:  After you sir.

CEO_JJ says:
::nods to OPS because he coughs during the You're Welcome... decides that sitting at the Engineering station is the best thing to do as the Captain might not like it if I were to sit in his chair::

XO_Danos says:
@CO: You were undoubtedly beyond reproah as a CTO.

SEC_Arconus says:
@::moves slightly to the side to keep a clear field of fire::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@SEC:  That's a thought.  They probably can't survive outside a fluidic environ.

Host Amb_JBru says:
@::starts to walk towards the helmeted and armored figures, then stops and clutches his side.::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  Without a doubt...Oh boy...

Host Amb_JBru says:
@::collapses to the deck::

CTO_Matt says:
@::notices the Amb clutch his side::

DrArman says:
@::Runs up to the Amb and scans him::

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: Uh-oh.  Chief...be ready.

CTO_Matt says:
@CO:  Sir, the Ambassador.

XO_Danos says:
@::reaches for his commbadge to report a medical emergency, then realizes they brought their own doctor::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@AT:  No sudden moves, Doctor plase see to the Ambassador.

Host Amb_JBru says:
@::is breathing heavily and sweating::

DrArman says:
@::Keeps on scanning the Ambassador::

SEC_Arconus says:
@::Closely watches the reactions of the Skree::

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: It's been a while, do oyu think we should check in with the away team?

CTO_Matt says:
@::steps to the side of the group, making sure his field of fire is clear::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  I doubt this is going to make a good impression, sign of weakness before a predator.

OPS_Danforth says:
CEO: I'm patching into your monitor.  I've been keeping an open comm link so we can listen in.

DrArman says:
@::Gives him a minor seditave to ease his breathing and pain::CO: Sir, can I talk to you?

XO_Danos says:
@::wishing he could get some idea as to what those Skree were thinking::

OPS_Danforth says:
@CO: Sir?  Is everything alright?  I noticed the ambassador went down.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Attempts close-range telepathic scanning of the guards::

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: Ah... maybe I should make that a standard between Engineering and the Bridge ::smiles at the idea and listens into the Away Team::

XO_Danos says:
@CO: They're notoriously paranoid.  It may actually be beneficial to negotiations if they see themselves as having the upper hand.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CMO:  Go ahead Doctor.  ::eyes the Skree::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@*Ops*:  We are alright for the moment.

SEC_Arconus says:
@ALL:  They are closing on us.

CTO_Matt says:
@CNS:  Do you see anything with your scans in the area of the Ambassador?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::moves forward to the Skree, hoping the UT will work enough to get something across::

DrArman says:
@CO:The Amb had a heart attack due to the increase of gravity, he'll live, but he's not fit for the negotiations

OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: We still have transporter lock on you all.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@CMO:  Understood Doctor.

CNS_Savar says:
@CTO: Nothing so far.  It's just showing metal.  The Skree are still unreadable by my telepathy.

DrArman says:
@CO: Can I bring him back to the ship?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Cns:  Please accommpany me.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Four of the helmeted figures stop and the fifth walks straight towards Morgan.

CNS_Savar says:
@CO: Aye, sir.  ::Follows CO::

CTO_Matt says:
@CNS:  Try not to scan them directly.  We know how they get when scans are initiated.

CEO_JJ says:
::thought he heard metal bending under stress... but passes it off as another symptom of his illness as OPS isn't paying attention to it::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@AT:  Everyone else stay here.  Do nothing that might be interpreted as hostile.  ::walks towards the lone Skree::

XO_Danos says:
@::holds back a bit and manuevers to the side a little to keep a direct line of sight with the fifth Skree::

CNS_Savar says:
@CTO: So far, my scans have not offended them.

Host Skree says:
@Morgan: Commander Morgan, I presume?

CTO_Matt says:
@CNS:  That is good.  Lets hope they don't get offended.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Stands to the side of CO so that XO has line of sight::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Skree:  Yes, I am Commander Morgan.  Who do I have the pleasure of addressing?

DrArman says:
@::Continues to treat the ambassador as much as he can::

Host Skree says:
@Morgan: I am Skroth.  Leader of this base.  We took the liberty of analyzing your translation technology.  Will the Ambassador be alright?

CTO_Matt says:
@Doc:  Shouldn't you get the Ambassador back to the ship and under normal pressure?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Skree:  Yes my Doctor assures me it is only a minor problem, related to the higher gravity.

DrArman says:
@CTO: I want to do that, but the CO told me not to move, so I'm under orders

XO_Danos says:
@CNS: The Skree would appear to be concerned about the Ambassador.  Interesting.

Host Skroth says:
@Morgan: Understood.  ::looks around:: I see you did not bring your entire crew out of your craft.  That is good.  Had you shown yourself to be that stupid, I would have destroyed your ship and ordered my vessels to invade your territory.

CNS_Savar says:
@XO: A good bargaining position to be concerned about the others.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Skroth:  I'm glad I did not disappoint.  With you permission, I would like to have the Ambassador returned to the ship for treatment.
