Previously on the USS Pandora:

The ship is nearing the location of its new base station - New Frontier Station in the Epsilon Librae system.

The crew is supposed to take on provisions and then depart for their mission. They are just coming into the navigational area of the new Pioneer class station as we begin our episode this evening. It is in the middle of Alpha shift.

FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: at her station making a few adjustments ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::having previously left the Captain's Ready Room, heads towards his quarters, to more carefully study the new Station’s specifications::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
:: sitting in Ready Room reviewing various reports::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::On the Bridge, at mission OPS, running sensor sweeps of the area, getting used to the updated sensor capabilities.::
Host Gerry says:
::in an office off the observation lounge working on a report::
MO_Ens_Williams says:
::Working away in Sickbay, writing up a couple of reports on some crew injuries.::
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::On the Bridge at the tactical station::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: looks around for the XO :: All: Has anyone see the Commander?
MO_Ens_Williams says:
::Finishes up a report and moves back into the ward to check up on a couple of patients::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: No Lieutenant, not recently. But honestly, he could have been standing behind me the last half hour and I might not have noticed. This ship has some sensitive sensors on it, makes the Scorpius and DS-102's systems appear ancient.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the turbolift, his thoughts are a mix of curiosity, excitement, and intriguing ideas::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
DO: Thank you.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::steps to the door of her office and looks out over sickbay:: MO: How are our patients doing this morning?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
:: stops staring at the sensor report at one of the science station ::
MO_Ens_Williams says:
::Nods:: CMO: Doing very well so far. We had a relapse of the flu, but he should be doing better now.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Out of curiosity, turns sensors towards New Frontier to get a glimpse of what kind of station it is.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
DO: Have you read up on the new station? I hear it's quite the state of the art.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Turning sensors on it now. Not familiar with the class and figured I could familiarize myself with ship systems and learn about the station at the same time.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
XO: Commander, we in navigational range of the new station.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
FCO: Drop out of warp and signal the station for docking instructions
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
*CO*: Captain, we are approaching our destination
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::taps combadge:: *DO*: Walker to Trix.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
XO: Aye Sir. Dropping to sub light.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
*SCD*: Trix here, Commander. What can I do for you?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::hears the comm from the XO:: XO: Acknowledged. Has the Station been notified of our arrival yet?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: taps the comm and informs them of the Pandora's arrival ::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
*DO*: Could you join me in my office off the observation lounge? I want to consult with you on some information I have received from engineering. 
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
:: gets up and walks to doors between Ready Room and Bridge - doors open – walks onto Bridge::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
MO: How are our trauma patients from the station? 
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::raises and eyebrow when notices he left his PADD over the Captain's desk:: Computer: Stop the turbolift. Return to Bridge. ::shakes his head:: I definitely must be getting old.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
*SCD*: Yes Sir, be right there. ::Logs off station and heads to 2nd Officer's office.::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
*DO*: Thank you, Lieutenant. Walker out.
MO_Ens_Williams says:
CMO: The ones with the blunt-force trauma are recovering. I feel like there's more psychological damage. Probably a form of PTSD. I just finished a report to send to the CNS.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Arrives at Commander Walker's office and hits the chime.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::the turbolift door opens back and Marek enters the Bridge::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::hears the chime:: DO: Come. 
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::nods:: MO: Excellent. I'm hoping the computer will soon have an analysis of all the data we've been able to decipher and perhaps we'll be able to come up with the composite that the CO requested.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Enters the room and walks up to SCD.:: SCD: What can I do for you Commander?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::heads towards the Captain's Ready Room::
MO_Ens_Williams says:
::Shakes her head:: CMO: I don't really understand asking the medical department to base knowledge of a species on a couple of technical tidbits. Namely the ship....
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Thanks for coming. ::points at the readout on his screen:: Have a look at these power curves from the attacking vessels. Engineering got these from a lateral sensor array during our fight.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
XO: Commander, we have clearance to dock at our convenience.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Looks at the screen, studying the data.::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::casually walks over to the Command Chair:: FCO: Can you get a view of the new Station yet?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Bringing it up now Captain. :: taps the viewer controls ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::views the new Station for the first time:: All: Behold our new home base people, New Frontier Station... ::looks over to the SC:: Captain, your new home?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::pays attention to the screen::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: A marvelous brand new Station...
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::looks over to the FCO and nods:: FCO: Go ahead Lieutenant, take us in.....
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: watches the screen and smiles :: All: She's very shiny.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::tugs his uniform:: CO: Can't wait to arrive
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Looks at the station on the view screen:: Self: Seems okay... for a station.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: I think I know your follow up question, and the answer is, I'm not certain. Still could be the th'Alcair, but....I wish I could tell for sure. Gotta find a way to penetrate their sensor dampening.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
MO: We also have some sensor data that we've sifted through. 
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Hopefully, it won't have the same destiny of our old beloved DS-102. Greater times awaits for this Ship, that Station and this excellent crew.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: That's what I thought. Do you think we have enough to bring to the Captain? To me this looks suspiciously like the differences between classes of ships, not different species.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: I think we have to inform him that there is some reason to believe it is the same, but nothing conclusive.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::his heart is beating fast::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
MO: I know it seems a daunting task and it may not work.
MO_Ens_Williams says:
CMO: I suppose so. ::Turns back to her patients.:: I know what I can do, and that's all right here in front of me. ::Lays a hand on the patient and he stirs a little::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Honestly, I'm more worried about what the fact that so far there have been no communication with them... or either of them, as the case may be. Makes me wonder, do they use "normal" subspace systems?
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: That's a whole other discussion, I'm afraid. Personally, I like to be able to reason with people before shooting at them. I'm learning it isn't always possible.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::nods:: MO: I'll be in the lab going over the reports
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Perhaps. Perhaps we just haven't found a way to get them to listen. I understand why we didn't, but the Scorpius didn't even try to make contact. I should ask Captain Marek if the station did or not...
MO_Ens_Williams says:
CMO: Alright. Let me know if you need anything.... ::gives the man a hypo::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: I hope that's the facts here. I can't help the feeling that we've missed something critical.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Also wondering if we should try hailing them in a language they might recognize. We have one of their enemy’s languages in the Universal Translator, but would that help or hurt our case?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: begins reducing speed as they approach the station ::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: I'm not sure we have a lot to lose in the attempt. They're shooting at us now, right?
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Yes Sir, that is a good point. We also have one person who can speak the ch'Tan language, although she's not Bridge cleared... nor qualified by Starfleet to use said language.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::enters the lab and accesses the results of the analysis:: Self: Let's see what we have...
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: We do? Who is that? ::interested::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: prepares for docking when the order comes down ::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Petty Officer Clark was with us on the mission. She is... was a station maintenance tech with an ear for languages. She was trying to help the Medical staff translate the language as well as get the Universal Translator a push, to use her term.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: I brought her along as an assistant. Figured she'd be useful. Right now she's trying to catch an ear full of any unknown languages out there via radio waves.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Okay, what if we got her TAD to your staff? We could clear her on an as-needs basis.
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::strums her fingers on the tabletop as she reads, then enters a few new parameters and begins a new process::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Take us in Lieutenant ::wonders if the XO is enjoying the view::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::mumbles:: CO: I still wonder if there is a catch.. I mean, we both got brand new toys... ::smiles::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Aye Sir, docking procedures initiated.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: That is an option, Sir. She's a bit rough around the edges.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: moves the Pandora into station keeping position ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::looks back to the Station Commander:: Captain, your station, you want to authorize us to deliver you there? ::chuckles::
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Begins shutting down the tactical sensors::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: coordinates with station control and begins ship power transfer to station control ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::clears his throat:: CO/FCO: You are welcome to New Frontier Station.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: ::chuckles:: So was I on my first assignment to Arcadia Station. Ask our Engineering Officer.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: In the meantime I'll keep her listening to the radio waves. She says it's an old, old system she adapted, but she thinks with new sensors and so forth perhaps we could get the Universal Translator a head start for us.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
ALL: Welcome to our new Station.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Station confirms we are on their systems. Docking procedures complete.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Okay, then we'll get her cleared since she's already here. Anyone else you can think of that we need? We can put in the paperwork before we leave the station. 
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
CO: Tactical systems secure, Sir.
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Not that I know of, Commander. Honestly not sure what else we'll need, so took a linguist and a sociologist. Probably realize what I forgot first encounter we run into, but I think we can manage.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: glances over at the tactical station ::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Unfortunately, the Diplomatic Officer position doesn't have many "how to" guides out there, so trying to figure it out as we go.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/Senior Staff: I think I will need a guided tour through the Station... Care to join me?
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Okay, great! I'll show these readings to the Captain, but let him know we aren't sure of anything, Lieutenant. I appreciate your coming to see me.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: secures her station and double checks things ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
SC: Permission to embark onto your new Station?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Granted. Gladly. ::motions towards the turbolift doors::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Anyway, we should go check out this shiny new station!
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: Not a problem, Commander. Was just getting used to the sensors, but honestly they aren't that dis-similar to the ones I used in the past. Yes Sir, sounds good.
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
SC: Are we allowed to touch stuff?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
All: Secure the Bridge and then the ship. Let's go check out our new base Station, and the Station Commander's new home. I heard him whisper that the first round is on him.... assuming they have a working bar on it and that we can find it.
MO_Ens_Williams says:
::Sighs quietly to herself and goes down the row of patients, laying a hand on each of them, muttering something quietly under her breath.::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::logs out of terminal:: DO: Great! Let's go. :: gets up to leave::
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Turns and follows the SCD out of the office.::
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Gets up from his seat and arches his back to relieve some of the stiffness::
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
::leaves the office and heads towards the nearest turbolift::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: No Romulan Ale, of course...
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: stands and heads towards the turbolift with the others ::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::looks over the results and then prepares a report for the Captain::
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::forwards the report::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/All: Let's start our first visit to this brand new Station.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
SC: of course, after you…
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::leaves the lab to return to Sickbay after shutting things down::
TO_ENS_Sampson says:
::Squeezes into the turbo lift with everyone else:: CO: Sir? You think it still has that new station smell?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: gets pushed to the back of the lift :: Self: Talk about a tight fit.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Maybe there will be a nice Merlot...
DO_LtJG_Trix says:
SCD: If no Romulan Ale, lets hope they at least have Tequilla.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
DO: Ouch - One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor...
CMO_Lt_Marisol says:
::walks through sickbay to critical care to check on the patients there::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb says:
CO: If they don't have a bar I'm taking the next shuttle out of here
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
XO: you'll have to get past me first Commander - I'll be leading the way out ::grins at the Station Commander just to see his reaction.
Host SCD_LtCmdr_Walker says:
