CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::at her station, running the first long range scans of the system::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::steps onto the bridge, coffee cup in hand::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::steps onto the Bridge and walks over to his station, an eye on the XO as he moves down the side::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::on the bridge, sitting casually in his command chair.:: CSO:  Any sign of the Hooke on sensors yet?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::As she studies the diagram of the system in her screen, she feels relieved to leave the starbase behind. She looks up as the CO asks a question::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Pulls out a datapad and holds it up into the air, taps a few commands and starts running tests::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sees the CEO step out of the other TL, and sighs, glad she took the one she did. Sips at her coffee and moves down to the centre of the bridge, taking up her seat::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Yes sir, we are picking her up in orbit of Lenma.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods.::  CSO:  Good, as soon as we're in range, let's get a good look at her, see if there’s an obvious explanation for the erratic reports.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::sits down at his station::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Frowns:: Self: bah humbug!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::settles, with her cup held in both hands and leans in to the CO:: CO: Captain...  ::raises an eyebrow to catch his attention for a moment::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO: As soon as were in range, let's get a hold of the Hooke.  We need to know what the situation is with the Membership Proceedings.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Leans over.:: XO: Hmm?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::checks to see if Jackson has finished the repairs, and nods with satisfaction as everything comes up green on his board::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Yes sir.  Though we can already try to hail her. We should be in communications range.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::nods her understanding:: CO: About DuPont... ::pauses:: Yes, he was wrong to do what he did ::voice lowered:: But, just some perspective. I ::bites her lip for a moment:: may very well have chased Bolitho around the bridge of the Seleya a few times. It's not an uncommon occurrence.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Exits sickbay and walks down the corridor, holding up the data-pad and glaring at it::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Smirks slightly.:: XO: you saying this as a command officer or a fellow doctor?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Alright Ensign, let's see if we can get some answers.  Hail the Hooke.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::opens a hailing channel to the Hooke:: CO: Channel open, sir.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::takes a deep breath:: CO: I'm saying it as someone who doesn't want you punching our CMO's lights out. ::smiles slightly before giving him a slightly questioning look::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Hooke: U.S.S. Hooke, this is Captain A'an Selzah, U.S.S. Kraken, please respond.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sits back, looking forward::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Shrugs.:: XO:  He's a sturdy kid.  ::Turns back to the main viewer waiting for the Hooke's response.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::hides her smile reasonably well::

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: CO: Captain A'an, what are you doing here? We weren't expecting company so fast.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks up at the man in the screen::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::glances suspiciously at the XO::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::catches the CEO's glance and raises an eyebrow at him::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::turns his attention back to the engineering systems::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Captain_Ton:  Sorry to barge in Captain, but Starfleet's a little concerned about the errant nature of your last few reports.  They sent us to assess the situation and see if you needed any assistance.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::watches the CEO for a few moments more, wondering at his expression::

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: CO: Oh, that's good, yes, I'm impressed more than anything, Captain... er... what did you say your name was again?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::notices the suspicious exchange of glances between Adalberto and Suder and smiles to herself::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Captain_Ton:  A'an captain, A'an Selzah.  Are you all right?  :: Looks mildly suspicious.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::shoots CO a look of concern::

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: Ah yes, A'an. Yes, we're fine, but there seems to be some sort of environmental problem on the surface that's been stealing our attention.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::in a low voice:: CEO: I wonder what exactly about us he finds impressive.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Walks into the turbolift and heads towards the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::turns his chair:: CSO: I don't know, the amount of scratches on a brand new hull ?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods, not convinced he's telling the truth.:: COM: Captain_Ton:  We were informed of the possibility of an environmental incident, what can you tell us about it?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CEO: Yeah, weren't you going to take care of that? ::smiles::

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: CO: Well, we haven't yet really had time to investigate the problem completely, but a lot of nature seems to have changed. It's complicated to explain. How about I gather the reports and send them to you?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CSO: I was, but the XO has kept me busy with other repairs.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::chuckles:: CEO: I can only imagine ... ::turns to her station::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Arrives on the bridge and listens to what Captain A'an is saying::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::chuckles and turns back to his station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sits back in her seat, eyeing Captain Ton up:: Self: They made this guy a Captain? ::is glad to sense A'an's having the same feelings of mistrust as she is::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods, not convinced he's telling the truth.:: COM: Captain_Ton:  That would be appreciated Captain.  I'd like to get an idea of where you are in the negotiations for Lenma's inclusion into the Federation if you don't mind?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::as the Kraken approaches Lenma she starts scanning the planet for anything unusual::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::thinks she needs to meet this Captain Ton and get the measure of him::

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> ::nods:: COM: Give me a minute. Ton out.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::hopes they can get this cleared up fast...he's just dying to try out the new hammock he strung up in his office in Main Engineering::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::as the screen darkens she turns to CO:: CO: That was a bit informal...

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Taps a message to Ix via console. ::  CSO:  TEXT: I want a full scan of the Hooke when were in range, I want to know if there's something wrong with the crew.  Get DuPont on it as well.  Something's off here.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
ALL:  All right, that was damn peculiar.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::her console blips, she reads it and nods towards the CO::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks up at the CO and wonders what they're on about::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::turns her scans to the Hook, and speaks up:: CMO: Doctor,  do you mind going over to science two to give me a hand?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: I'm here Captain, can I recommend that we might look at a quarantine of the Hooke and no interaction with its crew or anyone from the planet until we get a handle on what’s going on?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Tell me I'm not imagining that being weird as hell.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO: Certainly

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks to the CMO:. Self: Quarantine?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::shakes his head and thinks everyone on this ship must have put their paranoid hat on today::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sitting forward staring at the blank screen, thinkings:: CO: No... that was weird. ::turns and nods::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::sends the scans from the Hooke towards science 2:: CMO: If you spot anything remotely medically suspicious let me know.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Get another team on the planets surface, use the info they send you to narrow the search, see if there’s something odd going on with the planets weather and such like they claim.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::puts his hands behind his head and leans back, watching the smooth operation on his main console:: Self: Perfect.....finally.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CMO: One step at a time, Doctor. I don't think we need to quarantine a whole planet and starship because one Captain is having a bad day, but keep it in mind nonetheless.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CEO: Certainly that wasn't the way a Starfleet captains acts!

ACTION: The Engineering main console blips and fails.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::growls and kicks the side where the power distribution node is situated::

ACTION: The Engineering main console comes back online after being kicked.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CEO: Easy, Lt! ::gives him a stern look::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Self: Better.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::just looks at the XO, then leans back again::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Steps up to Science 2 and taps a few commands before looking across a the CEO and shaking his head:: Self: Testosterone

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO: Can you tap into the environmental systems on the Hooke? I'd like to run some scans?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Motions Kesh over and whispers.:: XO:  If we get close enough, do you think you can get an empathic read on him, see if he's hiding something?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::first scans start coming in from Lenma:: All: There is definitely a problem with the planet. The readings are off for the type of planet and the type of biosphere. ::taps her console a bit more::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks up at the CMO:: CMO: Of course. I will give you full control of half of the sensor arrays. I will use the others for the planet.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::figures they're going to be here a while and orders Jackson to start a level 3 diagnostic on the warp core::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::examines the CO's expression and shrugs:: CO: I can try, but you know how long it takes to get a decent read on anyone... from this distance... I can try.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CEO:  Once were in close range of the Hooke, slave their environmental systems to ours, CEO.  Tell him were taking precautions in the light of this environmental issue.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  We'll get you as close as possible.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
All: The basic life elements are off, as if part of the ecosystem is missing. It could be that an important species recently went extinct, or something else. The funny thing is, normally ecosystems adapt to a missing organism but this one hasn't.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::shoots CO a sceptical look and the nods, all seriousness::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO: Thanks ::begins running a scan of the environmental systems on the Hooke looking for anything 'different'::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::sits up straight:: CO: Sir, I need their override codes or permission first.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge, looking somewhat worse for wear as he moves to his station::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::standing in front of the command chairs, hears the TL slide open and absently glances back, spotting the CTO::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::nods to Sumner...still wary of him after their short away mission a few days earlier::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO: Nothing different that I can tell from the Hooke's environmental systems

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CMO/CO: Perhaps Captain Ton was acting normally.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::stares absently at his console, feeling like there was something he should be doing::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::frowns, wondering why Captain Ton hasn't...:: CO: Captain... They haven't gotten back to us yet.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CO: Sir, I can't slave their controls without permissions or override codes

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CSO: Can you tell where in the ecosystem the missing life-form belonged?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
All: The unbalance seems to be associated with an excess of decaying organic matter. Perhaps one of the major tropic levels is gone. This is most unusual.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
XO: I will continue scanning but we will probably need to go to the ground to investigate, or perhaps read the Hooke's reports.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Right, the haz-mat thing... ::sends a quick message to the Security department::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO:  What’s the chance of 2 Starfleet captains acting weird?....

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Captain_Ton:  Captain Ton, this the Kraken.  respond immediately!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::smiles at DuPont:: CMO: The universe is a strange place indeed.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::is starting to believe it is this crew that is acting weird...at least paranoid::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::chuckles::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  get a team ready to go asap.

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> :;sits up suddenly:: COM: CO: Captain...  er... that was quick. I'm impressed Starfleet responded so quickly.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::face drops as she listens to Captain Ton's words::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::turns his chair slowly towards the view screen:. Self: What?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Yes sir. Though I believe we should ask the local government's permission first.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Frowns at hearing the Hooke's Captains words and immediately pulls up his medical records from the database::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::turns to the screen with a frown::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::remembers her job and, taking a deep breath tries to reach out and get a sense of the Captain of the Hooke::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::brings up the roster of the Hooke::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::low voice:: CMO: The face matches ...

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::copies the CSO's voice:: CSO: History of  Alzheimer's in his family history!

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: CO: So, you sounded pretty urgent when you hailed, Captain... er... you never did say your name?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CMO: Alzheimer's would hamper his short term memory. It would also affect his motor skills, right?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::concentrates, trying not to get distracted by anyone, reaching out...::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CSO: Yes. but his own crew, CMO would have picked up a sudden onset of Alzheimer's?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CMO: Yeah, that can't explain everything.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM:  Captain_Ton:  Captain, Starfleet sent us to take over this situation, please stand by.

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> COM: CO: To take over the membership talks? I don't think so, Captain. We've been working hard on this for weeks and we're not about to just step back without a damned good reason.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Get a team ready, full haz-mat gear.  Were beaming you directly to the bridge.  Assume command of the Hooke and lock her down until we get this sorted.  If they resist, stun them and we'll sort it out later.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::breaks off, forcing herself to breath evenly, leaning in, turning her back on the screen, and speaking under her breath:: CO: Captain. I get nothing out of the ordinary. ::folds her arms, slightly disturbed:: CO: He appears to be annoyed with you for being so... gung ho.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: It definitely doesn't add up. He doesn't remember he is Starfleet, or Captain A'an's name. Yet he remembers he is here for negotiations?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::stands up:: CO: Stun them? Captain I must object!

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::furrows his brow for a moment:: CO: Wait, what?

Host SMurf says:
<Captain_Ton> ::hears the CO's orders and his jaw drops in shock:: COM: CO: What?! You can't do that! ::calls to his crew:: Red alert! Shields up!

ACTION: The comm is cut.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
All: So far you have been assuming the worst based on...nothing, and now he shows some strange signs of a lapse in memory and you intend to attack?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: Captain can I suggest we try communicate with perhaps the Hooke's first officer?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks to the XO to be the voice of reason here::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO/XO: I agree reaching out for the crew or Lenma's government is a wise approach.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Holds up his medical tricorder and scans the CO looking for abnormal levels of testosterone::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO: Raise shields and calm down, dammit!

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::looks to the CTO::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::raises the shields, leaves the weapons offline:: CO: I feel pretty calm, but you're starting to harsh my buzz.
