ARC 19 - Only the Good Die Young - Mission 17 - SD: 11708.01
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: Semilisa was a world almost three times the size of Earth, its population only a little over three billion.  The Semilisa system was massive, with an overabundance for resources, some of which weren't even cataloged.  The technology was advanced, yet no weapons were detected, no defense systems either in orbit or on the planets’ surface.

Their vessels, while varied in size, configuration and shape, were advanced, but their warp capacity was limited to warp six.  And now the Claymore orbits the large blue-green planet.  As Commander Wriena had said, she would contact her government and arrange a meeting on behalf of the Claymore.  Now the crew waited and observed as much as possible of this new contact.

************************ Resume Mission ***********************
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Quietly walks over to hand the captain a PADD with what information she could gather in a few minutes::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Begins talking into another device in the Semilisian language.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks out the screen as the captain reads the data::  CO:  It is almost like a paradise.  No over-population, plenty of resources, your choice of climates... well, there is the problem of gaining weight.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: glances over at the Semilisian::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes the PADD and skims over the details.::  CO:  It seems almost too good to be true.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks back at the captain::  CO: A drakor in paradise?
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Blinks, wondering how a planet with no weaponry and limited warp capabilities is helpful in their situation, but continues watching the scans at the primary tactical station::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
CO:  Captain, Vice Admiral Arbidale is ready to speak to you. Would it be acceptable for her to come to your vessel?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to Wriena.::  Cmdr. Wriena:  It is.  We welcome the chance to speak with her.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: taking back the report, she hands it to Damrok before going back to her station.::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Nods with a smile and relays the message into her communicator.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Gives the report a quick read::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Materializes on the bridge of the Claymore.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: makes some minor adjustments to the sensors to allow for gathering as much information as they could... she had no idea how long they would be here.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods once as he finishes reading and sits down in his chair, swiveling the console around to himself::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::stands from her chair, straightening her uniform and looks at Vice Admiral Arbidale::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Glances over her shoulder.::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
SCENE:  A young woman with reddish-black hair materializes on the bridge.  She is in a blue/green jumpsuit with several pins and patches.  Her only real distinction from a human would be the long grey horn extending out from the back of her head and rolling into an almost bun on the left side of her head.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Looks up in confusion, but quickly looks back down and types out a message on the console to Damrok, holding back the natural urge to glance over::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Looks around at the bridge crew and brings a small device to her mouth.::  Outloud:  Welcome, travelers.  It is not often we receive guests of your stature.  You are most welcome here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Taps his notifications to bring up the new message::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: From the admiral, she glances over at the commander briefly noting the similarities and differences and wondering if there was any significance.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: sends a note to Senezem that the alien transporters were different.  She had picked up a slight level of chroniton particles on the bridge, but they were quickly decaying.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: curious to what stature they were referring to, their technology?::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
Outloud:  I am Vice Admiral Arbidale Greit Hannal.  I am assigned to make this first contact between your vessel and my people.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Taps out a reply and sends it back to Senezem, immediately standing and smiling, standing to rest beside T'Shara with his hands folded behind his back::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: with her computer doing most of the work at the moment, she turned around to watch and listen.  She nodded a brief greeting toward the admiral, whether she saw it or not.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Vice Admiral Arbidale: Thank you, Vice Admiral.  I am Captain T'Shara, and this is my first officer, Commander Damrok.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Vice Admiral Arbidale: I would like to welcome you aboard.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Allows a very slight bow at the waist when introduced, but says nothing, only smiles::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks over at Wriena::
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Looks at the message from Senn and then Damrok and tables the idea of active scans, but keeps his eyes sharp on the passives for anything else that doesn't add up, including chroniton particles::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Nods.::  CO/XO:  Captain T'Shara and Commander Damrok, it is with great pleasure I greet you.   As your counsel here, I will answer freely any and all questions you may have.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: any and all?  How unusually generous.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks from one commanding officer to the other.  She could think of a dozen questions off the top of her head, a hundred and one.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Sighs a bit as she leans back in her chair::
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Blinks wider at the results and starts to type another message in console, not wanting to cut into talks, but looks up and blinks again, slumping slightly at the realization that Damrok moved away and walking over with a PADD instead::  XO:  Sir.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances over at Damrok and then back to the Admiral::  Vice Admiral: Perhaps we would be more comfortable in the conference room.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Outloud: Commander Senn and Doctor Raeyld, if you would join myself and Commander Damrok in the conference room.  I know there are many things we would like to ask.
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Smiles and nods.::  CO:  It would be an honor, Captain.  ::Turns to Wriena and nods.::  Commander Wriena:  You are free to return to your vessel, Commander.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Nods her head... most definitely she did.::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
<Commander_Wriena>  Admiral:  Thank you. I will resume my duties.  Should I be needed, you will know where to find me, Vice Admiral.  ::Nods and taps a small device on her belt.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: standing she moves to join the others and waits.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods, glancing at Wriena she bows slightly.  She turns towards the conference room and with a slight hand gesture shows the way.::
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Moves back to his console and resumes watching scans, glad he's not joining them in the conference room with all the oddities::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Wonders what it is with the PADD delivery today, and turns to accept the report, reading it quickly...his right eyebrow shoots up, and he looks directly at Senezem::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
Action:  Commander Wriena vanishes from the Claymore bridge.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Shrugs slightly to Damrok at the look as he returns to duties, not having any real clue what any of this means either::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  I'll join you as soon as I'm able.  ::Holds up the PADD to hopefully demonstrate as diplomatically as possible that he's got something he'd like to resolve before the meeting::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Damrok in return::  XO: Very well, Commander.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: frowns slightly before turning back to the captain and noticing Wriena had left.::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Begins following Captain T'Shara into the conference room.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Enters the conference room along with the Admiral and Senn.  She soon takes her usual seat.::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Enters the conference room and waits to be seated, trying to follow everyone else’s lead.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: takes a seat near the captain, a little bit concerned there is no security officer to join them.  Then again, the admiral came alone.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits back in her chair, hands in her lap::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Files quietly into an unoccupied seat, still a little overwhelmed by everything that's been happening on the bridge since Fong reappeared::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Watches as the rest disappear into the conference room...then walks back toward tactical, returning the PADD to Senezem  ̶  he's got three PADDs now, which he considers two too many::  TO2:  Can you estimate a class on that ship based on the size?  To the best of my knowledge, we've never deployed any vessels out this far.
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CO:  Captain, your ship...  ::Pauses.:: USS Claymore.  It is an honor to see such a marvel this close.  Again, thank you for letting me come aboard.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Looks at her captain::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Vice Admiral Arbidale: It is our pleasure to have you aboard, Admiral.  I'm sorry, a marvel?  How so?
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
XO:  Trying, Sir.  ::Examines the ship closely, trying to match it to a class::  Without active scans, will take a bit.  Also, Sir.  Not sure if the Commander mentioned, but there appeared to be a small amount of chroniton particles involved in their transporters.
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Takes a seat.::  CO:  We are not allowed to enter the USS Claymore.  It is a sacred relic.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: blinks::
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Looks up again, considering::  XO:  Akira-class, Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TO2:  Yes, Commander Senn indicated as much in her report.  ::Raps his fingertips on the side of the console again, before he gets his answer, then sighs::  Well.  Cross-reference the database, I guess  ̶  see if there are any missing Akira-class vessels that would've been...anywhere near the region.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow and sits forward a bit, somewhat puzzled.  Glances at Senn.::  Vice Admiral Arbidale: A relic...  ::not exactly sure what to say::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: frowns as she starts to put the pieces together::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shifts slightly in her seat, uncomfortably, but not really sure why the idea causes her pause::
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Nods and looks back to his console before pausing::  XO:  Will have long-range visual scans in a moment, Sir.  ::Glances up to see if he wants them on viewscreen::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TO2:  Here on the console will do.  ::Nods toward it...his gaze lingers on it, and he finds it a little strange, not having been at this side of the console much while someone else is operating it::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Smiles::  CO:  I guess it is hard to put our two worlds in similar context.  We are locked in a system that doesn't use the same time as yours.  ::Thinks for a minute.::  Federation.  We know of your people, planets, wars, triumphs, and failures.   But we cannot interact within the same time stream.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Nods and moves slightly to the side as he brings up full magnification on the ship::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
ACTION:  The console brings up the curve of the planet and a speck in the distance.  The magnification increases to see a small support structure surrounding a faded white vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Vice Admiral Arbidale: Why can't you interact within our time stream?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
Scene:  Within the monitor, the magnification reaches maximum and the black lettering on the saucer reads "USS Claymore - NCC-80820"
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
Adm:  Which is why when you came to us, your ships in the system were centuries old, but now they are not as we have gone back in time.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Peers at the console...as the image comes into focus, chokes on his breath as he's unable to halt it before it escapes...he holds his breath a moment before exhaling silently, rubbing the indentation on his forehead all the while::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Vice Admiral Arbidale: I'm sorry, I should also introduce you to our Chief Science Officer, Commander Senn, and our Chief Medical Officer, Commander Raeyld.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
XO:  Um, Sir?  ::Looks up, trying to gauge the possibility he's having a stress-induced hallucination::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CSO:  Correct, Commander.  ::Turns to T'Shara.::  CO:  Our scientists believe the outer cloud of particles are chroniton-based, and it has affected our timeline since our system began.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Holds his hand over his mouth and looks to Senezem::  TO2:  I'm seeing it, too.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
Adm:  So when you beamed aboard, did you beam aboard from the past or from the future?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Smiles.::  CSO:  You are within our normal time stream now.  Our interactions are for a lack of a better term, real time.  If you were to contact your people, you would be doing it from 400 years in the past your Federation time.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Slumps a bit, that hope gone, then blinks again::  XO:  Sir, the twenty-two humans on the planet...
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: shakes her head... and considers pulling out the drum::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Lowers his head and closes his eyes, placing his palms on the edge of the console as if to brace himself::  TO2:  ...Yes?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
Adm:  Sooo... when you or anyone is here, we are in the past.  When you take us back, we will return to the exact time we left?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CSO:  Yes, Commander, that is basically correct.  But we cannot take you back to before you left your time stream.  So for our records, we are keeping track of just how long you are here.  We will place you back in your time stream four hundred years from now, minus the time you spend with us.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: nods as that makes sense::  Adm:  Can we go back to what you said earlier?  That the Claymore, our ship, is a memorial here?  When exactly did that happen?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: leans forward, briefly forgetting her captain as she tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Her mind trying to wrap around where they were and what time they all were in.  How were they supposed to form an alliance that would help against the Cabowee.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits back in her chair once again.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks over to Raeyld quietly sitting taking it all in.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Clears her throat a little:: Arbidale: I apologize....I've mostly been down in sickbay, and a little out of the loop, so the others may know this... ::Gestures to them for a just a moment:: ...but why are we -here-? -Now-?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CSO:  The Claymore has been a relic here since most of us can remember.  It arrived here under unusual conditions.  Original scientists boarded the Claymore over two thousand years ago.  They said the ship was empty and almost completely gutted on the inside.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Doesn't want to actually suggest it, given they have no active scans of them::  XO:  The possibility...is there that they might be Claymore related, Sir.  ::Glances over the scans again, hoping there's some other Starfleet ship hiding under a rock, then sighs and tries to will his headache to disappear::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: she really hated dealing with time anomalies.  She glances at the captain before asking her next question.::  Adm:  Were there no records?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CMO:  I am not sure how to answer that, Commander.  ::Thinks for a moment.::  You arrived at the edge of our space.  We sent a vessel to inquire.  We had always hoped to one day see or observe the actual USS Claymore and find out what the vessel’s crew was like.
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CSO:  I don’t know that I understand, Commander.  Records for what?
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Lifts his head::  TO2:  Certainly seems they could be.  ::Really wants to roll with the active scans now, but wants more to preserve good relations with their hosts::  All right...keep watching.  Continue with the "no active scans" policy until I'm sure it's permissible.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
Adm:  We record just about everything.  Were there no logs or other recordings aboard?  :: not ignoring the fact she said gutted, but still....::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Admiral: I think she is referring to anything, telling you what happened to the crew before they disappeared as it were.
TO2_Ens_Senezem says:
::Nods and steps back in front of console to monitor, hoping that scans reveal nothing new even more when they were sitting around outside of Breen and Vroa space::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::She wondred what could have happened to everyone aboard  ̶  and gutted how, why?  Could this have something to do with the Cabowee?::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CSO:  Oh.  I understand.  Aboard the Claymore Relic.  ::Lowers her head.::  No, I am sorry.  What we believe was the computer was completely removed when it arrived here.  The consoles on your bridge as they are now are all gone.   They had only found a few items aboard.  Those where recorded and left on the Claymore relic out of respect.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TO2:  I'm taking my PADD with me.  Send a direct message if anything else noteworthy arises.  ::Swings by his chair to retrieve his PADD, pausing to take a deep breath and exhale before he sets off toward the conference room::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: turns slightly::  CO:  Captain, permission to go aboard and see the relics?  :: perhaps there was a clue left by... them::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Raises her hand.::  CSO/CO:  I cannot authorize that at this time.  I will, of course, ask our government council for permission.  I'm sure they will allow you access at a later time.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: frowns:: Adm:  Can I look at the recordings?
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Nods.:: CSO: I can arrange that the data be transferred here to your vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Admiral: Thank you, Admiral, we will respect your authority in this matter.  But it would be of great use if we could try and find out what happened.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: nods::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CO:  I will let you and your crew discuss things.  I know there is a lot to take in.  I believe I should be heading back to the planet to speak with the government council.  They will of course want to meet you and your crew.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  Admiral: Of course, Admiral.  Thank you for meeting with us.  I look forward to our next meeting and further talks.
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
CO:  I will be in contact with you and make sure the recordings are sent with priority.  ::Stands.::  I will be in communications in two of your hours.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands::  Admiral: Thank you again, Admiral.  ::Bows slightly::
Host Vice_Admiral_Arbidale says:
::Bows to the table, then to Captain T'Shara.::  CO:  Be well, Captain T'Shara.  ::Taps a button on her belt and vanishes.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks over at the doctor::
