<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::in the cargo bay, dissecting the satellite::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Sitting at the helm looking at long range sensors.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::slowly coming around::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Reporting to the bridge, assuming the tactical station.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The Away team awakes still tied up to the wooden chairs with two male natives staring at them and a small smooth-walled cube on the floor between them.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods to Ensign Fox as he takes his post.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Commander are you making any progress with the satellite?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: As consciousness returns, it takes but a moment for her to realize she is not someplace familiar.  Slowly she opens her eyes and then quickly shuts them again with a sigh.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Returns the nod, and brings up the tactical sensors, sweeping the area.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: I'm still working on it Ma'am. The decidedly crappy aluminum casing was hiding some rather sophisticated stuff...::digs deeper:: 
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::head lolling a little as he looks around, focusing fuzzily on the Curinn across from them::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Opening her eyes again, she looks at the two strangers staring at her.  She then turns her head to see Curtis was still with her.  That was good... she hoped.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Understood.  ::raising an eyebrow knowing the scientist in her would like to see for herself, but knowing that her place is on the bridge.::  Sophisticated stuff Commander?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@Carefully she moves her wrists as she tries to straighten up in the uncomfortable chair, her eyes making contact with some cube on the floor between them.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::looks over to Senn:: CSO: L-::swallows::-Lieutenant, don't say anything.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: I've found something Ma'am. It was designed to survey the planet, along with standard spectral and infrared scans. Seems to me it looks like someone was looking at them as opposed to the other way around.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Finding her arms well bound, she looks at Curtis.  Because she had not heard the aliens speak, she herself had avoided speaking.  She figured she would continue being a mute for now.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Runs diagnostics and readiness tests on the ship's torpedo compliment, cycling through power flow readouts of the phaser banks.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The AT is surprised to hear the native speaking to them without moving his mouth.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Renor work with Ensign Fox on monitoring the away team the best we can.  I want to know the minute they are alone and we can beam them out of there.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: We know you are not one of us.  Why are you here?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Maintain a transporter lock on the Away Team Ensign, work with the Counselor and Medical on monitoring vitals.  As soon as we have an opportunity I want to beam them directly to sickbay.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO: Aye Commander
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Looks at Curtis, then down at the cube then back at Curtis, fully intending to let him take this for the moment.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
ACO: Aye, Commander. ::Works on his console, glancing up at Lt. Renor.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::physically recoils from the intrusion:: Natives: Get out of my head.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Can we tell who might have been monitoring them and why?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stands and lets Ensign Sanders take over the helm before walking over to the Tactical station.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: Not yet. I'm still working on it
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Commander if you need further assistance let me know.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: This is our only means of communication with outworlders.  ::motions to the cube on the floor::  It permits communication only.  Do not fear your thoughts are still your own.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
TO:  Are you able to get past the interference from the satellites ensign?
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::glances at Senn to see what she thinks about that and then looks at the Curinn again:: Native: I can't take your word for that.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Wishes Curtis would ask some questions.  So far they seemed amiable to answering.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Monitors the vital signs of the away team, maintaining the transporter lock with some difficulty.:: CNS: I've got their vitals, lieutenant, but I'm having trouble establishing a confinement beam lock.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
TO:  Well we know the satellites block our sensors I was not sure if we could even get a lock on them from here.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: We understand.  However, you have no choice.  Why are you here?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::takes apart more of the satellite::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: While the two talks, she slowly works her way around the ties, trying to discover what they are and if she can somehow remove them.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::sits up and stares through the natives:: Native: Curtis, Kevin M. Lieutenant, Starfleet. Service Number 991013.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS/TO: Any suggestions with the difficulties we are having with transporter lock on safely getting the away team back without sending another team down to the planet?
TO_Ens_Fox says:
CNS: I'm on passive scanning only; I can just maintain a basic vital sign reading. But there's too much to get any sort of accurate beam-out. I couldn't guarantee quantum resolution.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO:  Well Commander I was thinking we might be able to use their satellites to our advantage.  If we could patch into one of them and use it as a relay for our sensors and or transporters.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: What does that mean?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: The binding is rough, but not refined.  With a nail, she tries to see if she can break through the fiber of bindings.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
CNS/ACO: That could work... piggy-back the signals, so to speak. But the satellites would need to be accurate enough to allow for beam-out.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ Native:  Curtis, Kevin M. Lieutenant, Starfleet. Service Number 991013.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Let's go with that idea Counselor.  ::looks over at the TO::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: I'm heading back to the bridge Captain, I've done all I can do with the satellite.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::leaves for the bridge::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Ensign work with Commander Hayward since he has one of the satellites on board in the cargo bay and is determining how exactly they work.  He might have a way we can tap into them and use the signal.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: sighs.  That was not going to get them answers.::  Native: Is there a reason we are tied up?  What do you plan to do with us?
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::glares at Senn:: CSO: What are you doing?!?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Commander I need you to get with Ensign Fox we have an idea on a way to beam the Away Team back to the ship using the satellite.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Nods, bringing the close-range sensors to bear on one of the satellites.:: ACO: Aye, Commander.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: Understood
Host No1Native says:
@AT: You are restrained for our protection.  We do not know your nature yet and we must take precautions.  You are the first outworlders to visit us as our ancestors have predicted.  Why are you here?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ aCTO: The obvious.  :: Turns back to listen to the stranger.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::enters the bridge::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ Alien: Your ancestors predicted?  What did they predict?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::nods at T'Shara:: TO: So what’s the idea?
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::obviously angry:: CSO: Stop talking. Don't. Tell. Them. Anything.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Looks up from his station.:: CEO: Commander; we think we can access the satellite network and use them as a carrier for our sensors and transporter. We'd need to gain access to the network, though...
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::nods to Hayward as he enters the bridge.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: ignores the man as she is not telling anyone anything, but getting answers.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
TO: Try tapping into the infrared sensors I found on the one we recovered. It may be the easiest point of entrance.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: You have not answered our simple question.  Therefore we cannot answer yours.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
<like the one I recovered>
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ Native: Curiosity...
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Nods, working at his console, attempting to gain entrance to the satellite network through accessing the IR sensors on the nearest one to the ship.::
Host No1Native says:
@AT: Elaborate.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::cuts Senn off:: Native: Let us go. Right now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@Native: You asked what brought us here... curiosity.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::looking at her with angry disbelief:: CSO: Would you shut up?!?
Host No1Native says:
@AT: We cannot yet let you go as we still do not know your nature.  Until we are certain of your nature and intentions we will do what is necessary to protect our society.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ aCTO: No.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@Native: We mean you no harm... :: Nods toward Curtis:: Neither does he... not really.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::growls out some frustration with Senn and turns back at the Native:: Native: I wouldn't listen to her. If you don't let us go, you're going to experience a great deal of harm.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
TO: Any luck? ::assists from the engineering station::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Sighs and looks up at the ceiling as if seeking patience there.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The entire launch site and surrounding city disappear from Halas' sensors.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Curses under his breath.:: CEO: I've lost sensor readings altogether, commander. I think we triggered a defensive measure of some kind.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: Your conflict will do nothing but delay your release.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
TO: The satellites were designed for surveillance, but I'm not going to rule out the possibility they were created to hide the inhabitants as well.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Gets up from her chair as soon as she hears the TO say they lost the city and launch site on sensors.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::tries to recalibrate the sensors::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Goes over to where the CEO and TO are working.::  CEO/TO: So you are telling me we have lost our lock all together on the away team?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ Alien:  Whose conflict?  I have no conflict here.  By the way, I answered your question, could you answer mine now?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: That’s an affirmative
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Switches over to passive sensors, but shakes his head.:: ACO: I'm sorry, commander -- even passive sensors aren't picking up anything. Optical, IR, trilinear... it's all being blocked.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO/TO: Turn on a visual of the planet on the main viewscreen.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: The conflict between both of you...and you have not answered our question.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::taps a button:: ACO: On screen
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Have you gotten anywhere on unscrambling the satellites?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Are the satellites still showing up on our sensors?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@Alien: He is not me... I cannot help it if we do not see eye to eye on things.  But I did answer your question.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::glaring at everyone in sight::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: I was able to determine they were designed for surveillance. But they may be hiding the inhabitants as well.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Bring us to red alert.  Target the closest satellites.  I want to see if we take a few of them out if we can get a hole through the sensor net they have activated.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: Very well.  Elaborate on your answer.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Don't fire yet just target them for now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ Native: How does one elaborate on curiosity?  It is a state of personality... a desire or need to seek out answers.  Curiosity.  ::shrugs lightly::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Nods, bringing targeting sensors up and raising shields, powering weapons.:: ACO: Weapons ready, shields are raised. I have phaser locks... on your command.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Can we drop the Halas down past the satellites but still maintain orbit.  I want to see if we can achieve a lower orbit than the satellites.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Furrows his eyebrows.:: CEO: I'm not registering power signatures from the satellites, commander...
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks back over to her chair and takes a seat, crossing her legs and resting her hands on the armrest as she watches the main viewer.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Takes his seat back at the helm station.::  ACO:  Let me check Commander.  ::Brings up the satellite orbit and works on a solution to bring the Halas under them.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
TO: They are passive by  design, and use minimal power
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Standby Ensign.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Nods to Renor as she waits.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Nods, maintaining locks and preparing alternate firing solutions in case of evasive maneuvers or defense mechanisms.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: In the back of mind considers a talk with Curtis on flowers and weeds.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
ACO:  Commander.  I can bring the Halas in under the satellites, but I will not be able to maintain an orbit.  I can give us about 2 minutes at the most.
Host No1Native says:
@AT: Obviously it is in your nature to be evasive.  We shall determine your intentions and nature in different ways.  You are free to return to your vessel.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks over her shoulder at the CEO.::  CEO: Will that give you sufficient time to get a transporter lock and beam out Commander.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ ::Sighs and mumbles under her breath::  I was not being evasive.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: It'll be close, but we can give it our best shot
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Glances over at Curtis wondering if he caught the 'vessel' part.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Standby to lower shields once the CEO is ready to beam out the away team.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The "silent" native picks up the cube from the floor and both leave the thatch-roofed hut.  At the same time, a small sensor hole opens on Halas' sensors and a transporter lock can be established.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
ACO: Aye.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::readies the transporter::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Frowns as they leave::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Lowers the shields to allow for beaming.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::activates the transporter::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
@ ::still looking at the door to the hatch in some surprise when he feels the hairs stand up on his arms:: CSO: Is that a transp- ::disappears::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The away team is beamed directly to the Halas' sickbay.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Turns to look at Curtis, only to find herself in sickbay.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: We got them
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Understood Commander.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Raises the shields again, monitoring the laminar flow.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCTO: Have you  ever tried honey or nectar?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the away team materializes, the "hole" disappears again, making the area where the launch facility is/was impenetrable to sensors.
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
TO: Take us to yellow alert and keep the shields up.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
ACO: Aye, commander. ::Powers down the weapons systems.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CEO: You have the bridge Commander. I am going to head to sickbay to check on the away team.  Let me know if there are any changes.  ::stands up from her chair and enters the TL.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Patiently waits as one of the medical officers unties them, still looking at Curtis.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The intruder alert sounds throughout the ship.
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::looks around the Sickbay and hopes one of the orderlies will think to free them:: CSO: Have you ever tried obeying the code of conduct. You never tell an enemy anything!
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::looks up::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::As soon as he hears the alarm, begins to run internal sensor sweeps.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCTO: I have a recording by the way... :: stands as she is freed.::  For you to listen to.  I told them nothing... ::heads out for the bridge at the sound of the alert.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks up as the alarms go off.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::the doors on the TL open as she makes her way down the corridor.  Hearing the intruder alert.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::following her soon after:: CSO: We'll talk about this later. Just remind me not to go on anymore missions with you. ::increases to a jog to the turbolift::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::sees the aCTO and CSO as the TL doors open.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
aCTO: Now that would be a shame... :: stops before the captain.::
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::moves to his station, still dressed as the Curinn:: TO: What's going on?
TO_Ens_Fox says:
ACTO: Intruder alert, sir. I'm not getting any readings, though -- I'm not sure what set it off...
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: I was just on my way to speak to you and the ACTO and get your report.  But, it would seem that will have to wait.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Moves away from the station, to let the ACTO take over again.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Report?  ::stepping away from the doors so the CSO can enter as they make their way back to the Bridge.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The intruder alert ceases only to be replaced by main power going offline and replaced with emergency power.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Steps in, listening.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
ACO: The sensor occlusion is continuing, I can't figure out why just yet.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::hearing the change in power.:: aCO:  That is not good....
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::looks up at the commander:: ACO: Yes' ma'am. TO: Let's get four teams on deck-by-deck searches and dispatch a team to Engineering and the bridge.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::looks up:: What the....
ACTO_Lt_Curtis says:
::just finished speaking when the emergency lighting goes on:: TO: Then we'll want to... ::looks up:: What's going on?
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks around at the sound and nods::  CSO: Not at all.
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Nods.:: ACTO: Aye, sir. ::Makes for the turbolift.::
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Stops at the lift as the power goes out.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*CEO*: Keep working on it Commander I am on my way back to the bridge and I want a full report when I arrive.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As the now slower lift stops, she waits for the doors to open.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*ACO*: Understood
TO_Ens_Fox says:
::Looks at the ACTO.:: ACTO: Sabotage?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
::As she steps off the lift, she catches an odd expression.  Looking down, she sighs.  She is out of uniform and form for that matter.::
