EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::in the TIC making repairs to the consoles... but being careful not to burn his hand again::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::At OPS continuing her audit of our supplies for suitability in trading.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: How are things going. I'm headed that way now
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::crosses one leg across his lap and tries to relax:: AFCO: Range to Kavama System outer marker?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;exits the bridge, leaving for TIC::
ASO_Fauche says:
::starts some routine sensor sweeps::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Exits the TL and enters the Bridge.::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hands begin to make the computations::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
*CEO*: Pretty well, sir, I finished up with the Flight Control console, and I'm inspecting the others for any damage or wear.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  Ensign Renor and staff reporting for duty Sir.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir, range to outer marker is 12000KM.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Good to hear. We're going to be running some diagnostic simulations when we're done. I will be there in a moment
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch just a tad::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks around the half-restored bridge and frowns, worried about what the image-conscious Klingons will think::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks forward again:: AFCO: Take us out of warp at two hundred kilometers
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*Lt. Riley*: Please make sure the sub-zero gear is ready just in case we need it.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks to his right:: OPS: System on screen, please, Commander.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
<Lt. Riley> OPS: Aye Commander.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::Brings the Kavama System on main screen.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits forward as the solar system appears on the screen:: ASO: Readings?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Monitors Comms for the time being.::
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::runs some tactical scans on short range sensors for any space borne contacts::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::continues inspecting the consoles, and making repairs where necessary::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;exits the turbo lift and spots cadet Roods:: EO: Almost ready to take her through the paces?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Looks over the information displayed on the main screen.::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir we are within range of the system sir dropping to impulse now.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks up at the main screen and then back down to her console.::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: I think so, sir.. I've inspected each of the consoles, they all should be working.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Good. Take the flight control station for a moment please.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::heads over to the flight control console in the TIC and takes a seat::
ASO_Fauche says:
CO:  Sir, eight orbital batteries are showing on scans around the third and fifth planets.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Computer: Run flight simulation gamma delta III, access, Hayward, status, attack mode, and limit readings to TIC.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch and adjusts the heading to maintain the proper course requested::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::narrows his eyes a bit:: ASO: Maintain scans. ::looks back over his shoulder to the tactical station:: ATO: Find those three D7s we were supposed to see here and inform the Air Wing to deploy the CAP.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks back to his right:: OPS: Commander, open a channel to Kavama-III please.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye Sir.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
CO: There are no Klingon warships present in the area, sir. ::is not surprised by that at all:: Perhaps under cloak I'm guessing. Shall I conduct tachyon sweeps to look for them?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::watches as an obstacle course of asteroids comes on screen:: EO: Using only instruments, navigate the asteroid field at warp one.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes his head:: ATO: Passive scans only. We didn't come looking for a fight. I'd just like to know where they are if possible.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Opens a Comm on Cardassian Frequencies as well as known Klingon frequencies.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Channel open Sir.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::works the console, setting speed for warp 1::
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
CO: Aye, sir. Flight Deck reports they are launching momentarily.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::whispers out the corner of his voice:: OPS: Audio only....
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over at the CO and nods whispering.:: CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM Kavama-III: Mining Control, this is the Federation Starship Claymore requesting communication with the authorities in this system.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore enters the system and the CAP fighters launch.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Makes sure the COM is Audio only.::
ASO_Fauche says:
::adjusts scans to tune out the small bit of static data she reads and sees the information clean up::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::adjusts the difficulty level, making it harder for the cadet:: EO: How is she responding? ::looks at the consol::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Monitors and maintains the COM.::
Host Kavama_Control says:
COM: Claymore: Stand By, Claymore.  The commander will be with you shortly
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::watches the fighter wing assume close formation with the Claymore, not quite used to this aspect of tactical countermeasures::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
<Lt. Riley> *OPS*: Commander the sub-zero gear is ready when you need it.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM Kavama: Acknowledged, Control. Claymore standing by. ::puts the channel on hold::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Was that transmitting from the third planet?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Steps down closer to Captain Daylan and waits for further orders.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Begins checking the COM signal.::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Getting a little less responsive, but she's handling decently.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::shuts down the simulation:: EO: Then we need to check it over again. This is not an area we want to screw up. Not that we want anything to screw up.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir the COM came from the third planet.  There appears to be a large orbital facility on the far side of the planet and that is where we are receiving the transmission from.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I have programmed three evasive patterns should they be needed.  I have also laid in three escape vectors should they also be needed.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Aye.. I'll have another look at it. ::crawls under the console and takes another look::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::holds out a sonic spanner to the cadet:: EO: Take this and see if you can increase the sensitivity of conduit 28715, right under the main consol array
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods at T'Shara but keeps his eye on the prize:: AFCO: Good work, Ensign. Standby one half impulse when we get permission to enter.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::waits for a response from the planet.::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir going to one half impulse when we get permission.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::drums fingers on the chair arm:: ATO/ASO: Any sign of those cruisers?
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
CO: Still no sign as of yet on lateral sensors, captain. It seems the base is taking their time. I wonder what's happening over there.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::finishes up his repairs:: CEO: Okay, Commander, that should do it.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Good, take the consol again
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
ATO/ASO: Keep looking.  ::glances up at Renor:: CNS: I've never dealt directly with the Klingons before. Are they prone to making people wait?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Computer: Resume simulation
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::keeps an eye on the flight control console::
ASO_Fauche says:
::focuses more of the scan on the third planet::  CO:  Hmmm, not yet, Sir...watching.  ::glances at the ATO, sending him a smile as she does so::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::drops the ship negative 2 degrees to push her back into the proper course::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  I have had a few dealings with the Klingons and all had long waits.  As always remember that we are here to deal and not to ruffle feathers.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::finds himself caught off guard with the ASO affectionate glance, then somehow manages to tear his eyes away from her, blushing all the while::
ASO_Fauche says:
::is a bit surprised at the Captain's remark and smiles wryly::  Self: Only if they want to make you angry and do something foolish...
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CNS: I'll try to keep that in mind. ::gestures:: You might as well take a seat.
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM: Claymore: USS Claymore, this is Commander Kaamal.  I am in charge of the mines.  ::sounds a bit sleepy and grouchy::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Takes a seat next to Captain Daylan.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: How is the consol performing?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
:Opens the COM.:: CO: Sir incoming Com.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits up suddenly and reactivates the audio:: COM Kaamal: Greetings, Commander. This is Captain Daylan of the Claymore. We come on trade business and seek permission to enter the system and open negotiations.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: It's working, sir. No problems at all.
ASO_Fauche says:
::chuckles at the woozy tone of the guttural sounding Klingon::  Self:  Had to bestir himself and didn't like it, eh?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Good. Now take the science consol. I've programmed in something of interest. I want all of these consoles in perfect working order
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::thinks he hears the ASO muttering to herself, intrigued...::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::heads over to the science console in the TIC and takes a seat::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Listens as the Captain speaks::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::trims the heading 4 degrees to port::
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM: Claymore: Is there something wrong with your visual communications, Captain?
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::glances at Daylan, wondering how he'll respond to that::
ASO_Fauche says:
::sits up taller and puffs out her chest and cheeks trying to imitate a big ugly Klingon acting pompous and ticked as much as her small self could perform such a feat.  Keeps a close eye on the scans::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Run a few scans...even a non science officer should be able to spot this
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::almost chokes:: COM Kaamal: No problem, Commander. ::nods to T'Shara::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Sits up straight for the Klingons.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Sees the nod and raises an eyebrow.:: ::Brings visual on screen.::
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::arches an eyebrow at the ASO's subtle antics:: Self: She's certainly...animated today.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::suddenly feels exposed as if the pink wall behind him blazed with extra light::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks from the console, to the CEO and back to the console:: CEO: I'm picking up a Borg Sphere. ::looks at him, trying not to look worried:: I hope this is a simulation.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The image of a formerly burly Klingon with long graying hair and in civilian Klingon dress fills the Claymore's main viewer
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::looks at the Klingon:: Self: Uh oh looks familiar but from where.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::quietly lowers the illumination on the bridge a few levels, hoping it'll lessen the pink on the walls::
ASO_Fauche says:
::immediately stops the mocking gesture as the audio changes tone to let her know the viewscreen just activated.  Turns to see how the Klingon will react to the beautiful view of the bridge and smiles brightly::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::keeps her face as stern as she can::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::chuckles:: EO: Well I had to make it obvious. I couldn't expect you to pick up a deutromium deposit on a planet light years away could I? Take the operations consol next.
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO:  ::grimaces overtly::  How do you allow Ferengi on your ship?
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::suddenly it rings a bell in her head::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Feeling a bit unloved as is.  The Klingon isn't helping much.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::deadpan:: COM Kaamal: Work release. You understand. Do we have permission to approach?
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::sighs, relieved, and smiles at the CEO as he approaches the OPS station::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Ready.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Doesn't even bother to look at Captain Daylan.  All though an almost true statement.::
ASO_Fauche says:
::checks the data sweeps on her console that were set to pick up the mineral content of the planets and their depths::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Tie it into the ship itself. Computer: End simulation. Don't do anything but monitor. It should mirror what’s happening on the bridge. Verify that, and we're done.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Continues with her list of tradeable items just in case they actually get to use them.::
ASO_Fauche says:
Self: Boy, that Klingon is a real livewire...he needs a shore leave and a half.
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO: You humans will let any being into Starfleet these days...and what in the name of Kahless did you do to your bulkheads?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Hears the mention of the bulkheads and thinks I was wondering when he would notice that since he was so concerned with the Ferengi.::
ASO_Fauche says:
::chuckles quietly at the tone of the old Klingon's voice::
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
Self: Rats, didn't turn the lights down enough.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::brings up a display of information and compares it with the bridges OPS station via the computer::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::doesn't bother to correct the Klingon's incorrect assessment of his species:: COM Kaamal: An unfortunate choice of colors, Commander. We're eager to begin negotiations. May we approach?
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
ATO: Check your LRS.  I have a ship on LRS.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::ties his limited tactical scans into the LRS array and checks the FCO's report::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Aye sir... verification complete.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Take tactical next
ASO_Fauche says:
::turns to look at the ATO to see what his response is and takes the opportunity to admire::
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO: If I were still a Warrior, Captain, I would be offended.  However, those days are long past.  You may approach.  ::glances at an off-screen aide::  Ah!  I see our second competitor has arrived.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::walks over to the tactical station:: CEO: I'd say this is the most important, considering.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: This can't be good.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::lifts a brow:: COM Kaamal: Competitor? ::looks around the bridge for some illumination::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Second competitor wonders how this is going to go now.::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
ATO: Please verify your LRS and see if you can identify the ship.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: And you'd be right. Computer, resume simulation.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
Self:  Great now that Captain Daylan has botched our first meeting.  Negotiations are only going to be more difficult now.
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO: Don't tell me your sensors are malfunctioning as well, Captain.  ::very disdainful::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::locks targets on the simulated Borg sphere and fires phasers at it, adding a volley of torpedoes to follow::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Thinks that the list she has no matter how long may not help them now.::
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
CO: I see it, captain. No ID on the ship as of yet, however.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;watches as the Borg sphere closes in on them:: EO: Are the controls functioning correctly?
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::gets an eerie feeling as the ship is approaching::
ASO_Fauche says:
::frowns at the lack of identification, not liking the idea that they might lose out::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Everything's in working order... torpedoes, phasers, targeting scanners...
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::suppresses a frown of annoyance:: COM Kaamal: Just an internal communication issue. My apologies. Might you inform me of who our competitor is?
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Something is not right and it is not good.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;stands at ops and ties the controls into the simulation::
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir it appears to be a Cardassian vessel; Galor class.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks at the OPS consol:: EO: Hey! We're dead. Never mind that, go ahead and take the engineering station now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Computer: End simulation
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO: ::Frowns at the viewscreen:: Klingon crews would be shot for such miscommunication.  However, you are only one of many ships representing their governments, Captain.  I'm expecting a few more.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Again, tie into the ship itself and see if the readings correspond to the actual readings on the bridge
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::heads over to the engineering station and taps a few commands, verifying the readouts::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM Kaamal: Then at least we have the honor of being first. I look forward to negotiations and am confident we can provide the most attractive offer. Our people have a long history of working together.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: More?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Really wants to rub his forehead, but refrains from showing the frustration in front of the Klingon.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
AFCO: Ahead one half. Take us to the control complex.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: All's well here too, Commander.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir one half impulse to the control complex.  Executing now sir.
Host Cmdr_Kaamal says:
COM:CO: First, yes, the best? I have my doubts, Captain.  Kavama Control out.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::her hands move smoothly over the helm console and guides the Claymore in at one half impulse to the complex::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Kaamal cuts the com as another ship shows up on LRS and the Cardassian ship slows into orbit of the third planet.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Excellent. Tell me, do you think you're time here has been well spent? I may have some explaining to do as to why a cadet was allowed in here without me.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks behind him:: ATO: Inform the cap we're moving ahead. Maintain close escort formation.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
CO: New contact on long range sensors, captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::begins putting the consoles into sleep mode::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Log the arrival of our competitors and inform Command. I sent in a request for a diplomatic ship to relieve us. Maybe this will grease the wheels.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Closes the channel.  Walking over to the Captain.:: CO:  Sir the sub-zero gear is ready when needed.  Also, I have the list of tradeable items on this Padd for you.  But, I don't know at this time if it will help.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Definitely.. most of the repairs were routine work, but for those that weren't, it was something new to learn.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::watches the fighter formation as well and maintains the Claymore's position::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns his head again, taking the padd from T'Shara:: ATO: And our new friend is?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Better than a classroom at the academy you think?
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::confirms the ID:: CO: An Orion Blockade Runner...it seems to be maintaining a sensor scrambling field around its hull.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods::  CO: Aye sir.  ::Walks back over to OPS and begins logging the competitors as they arrive.  Sending the data on a secure channel to Command.::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::smiles:: CEO: A lot better... I'm glad I decided to do the externships.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sighs:: ATO: Keep an eye on it, and inform me immediately of any new arrivals.
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Now I wonder where they got a hold of that technology?  That wasn't in the latest report I got. Hm..... must get a look at it.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
ASO: Mister Grif is looking outward. Maintain your vigil inward. I want to know where those D7s are.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: We're finished up here for now. Report to the ensign on duty in main engineering. I’ll be on the bridge.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: And....good job
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::exits::
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
CEO: Aye sir. Thank you.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::enters a turbolift:: TL: Engineering.
ASO_Fauche says:
CO:  Yessir, Captain.  ::tightens the scans inward for a lookout of the D7s::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::in a turbolift headed for the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::eases back in the chair:: CNS: This just got a lot more complicated, didn't it, Mister Renor?
AFCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir just a guess but if they were old D7's they would show a surge of neutrinos before decloaking.
ATO_Ens_Grif says:
::begins devising methods of cutting through the Orion sensor scrambler, suspicious of their use of such technology::
ASO_Fauche says:
All:  A Blockade Runner...should be carrying a crew of approximately thirty, give or take a few.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Finally rubs his head with both hands.::  CO:  You have no idea.  I would say that wasn't the best first meeting I've ever attended Captain,  but with luck and a little skill we might be able to turn things around.  I hope.
EO_Cdt_Rodos says:
::enters engineering and reports to the Ensign on duty::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  I would say the first order of business would be to find out as much as we can about our competitors and what they are offering.  I would suggest we try to mingle with them aboard the station and gather as much information as we can sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: CNS: I don't think we have much choice at this point or we'll be negotiating in the dark. We'll have to wait for our invitation however.
Host SMDave says:
