Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
ACTION - THE PRIMARY BRIDGE CREW IS TRANSITIONING OFF-SHIFT
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::has retired to his quarters for this portion of the flight to the planet while the SCD went to Sickbay to check on the five space-travelers they rescued from their ungainly shuttle::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: looks around the Bridge for a moment as Ensign Flight arrives to relieve her ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::At Science 1, staring at the data coming in from the mission, trying to see some sort of pattern in it all.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: smiles as Flight takes over ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: I still don't get it, how can these beings have travelled that far in the craft we found. My staff gets antsy hearing we've got a week's trip. And we have a Holodeck.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: moves over the science station :: CSO: More questions than answers I guess.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Questions can help if they lead to good theories, but I don't have any theories to try and find the wrong questions for.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: What if.... well what if they haven't been travelling all that time? Maybe they just hopped aboard that ship during the battle and killed off the crew and took the ship over. :: shrugs ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Or the ship was carried. Maybe an escape pod of sorts. We've got a handful of sub-lighters in the hanger bay.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: leans on the console :: CSO: All we have are theories at the moment. Maybe one of the aliens will wake up soon and tell us what really happened. We need to talk to the doc and get her thoughts.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: She'd have a better idea of what they've been through. Sure, I scanned them, but I'm not exactly in my areas of expertise there.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Let's get her to meet us in the lounge to discuss ideas?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Since you've been dealing with sickbay why don't you give her a call and see if she's willing to meet?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Nods.:: FCO: Good idea.
*CMO*: Trix to Doctor Marisol. Do you have a few minutes, Doctor?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: looks around as she waits, wondering where all the command staff have gotten to ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::crashes on the bed in his quarters debating with himself in his head on how to best deal with the five aliens currently in residence in Sickbay::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: whispers :: CSO: I'll meet you in the lounge. I'll order up a drink. What's your pleasure?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Uh, a drink? Oh, right. Just... I don't know. Just a glass of Klah if they have the formula in the Replicator fixed.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: You got it. I'll see you in a few. :: smiles and gives Trix a thumbs up as she heads for the turbolift ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: wonders what Klah is and if she'd like it. ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: See you there shortly. ::Logs out of console.:: Kriel: Let me know if anything else comes up. Immediately, I don't care what the hour is.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
Computer: Deck 2
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: waits for the doors to swish open ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: yawns as the doors open, but tries to stifle it ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: enters the lounge and heads for the replicator :: Computer: Klah please and something sweet, ah yes, iced tea. Please.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: collects the drinks and finds a table near the wall for privacy ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::drifts off, but tosses and turns, his mind never really clearing, and continuing to wonder if his crew will come up with any clear answers before they get to the planet::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: sips her tea as she waits for Trix ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::the quiet hum of the ship running normally is comforting, but the unknown ahead is not. After a short time, decides a warm beverage could help, so gets up, freshens up, and heads out of his quarters::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Heads to the turbolift towards the lounge, given the state of the guests the Doctor must be busy.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: yawns again this time not hiding it ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Takes PADD and flips through the data as the turbolift doors open. Steps in.:: TL: Deck 2, Officer's Lounge.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: notices that there aren't many in the lounge so late :: Self: Everyone must be tired.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Exits the turbolift and steps towards the lounge.:: Self: If it's an escape ship, we might find the remains of the original. That would tell us something, right?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Looks around the lounge, then walks towards the FCO's table.::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: About time. I thought you'd forgotten. Where's the doctor?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: No answer; either already retired or is locked in Sickbay. Given the fact we have 5 strange guests with unknown makeup, I'm guessing too busy.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: shrugs :: CSO: I guess the Captain's in bed as well. I think I'd like to join him soon. :: yawns again ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Not sure what kind of answers we'll get any way. I mean, sure, their biology is of interest, and their structure, all that. But I don't know how much of that will give us the answers we need until we can get one of them to talk to us.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: sits back :: CSO: Ok, so I've heard these aliens stink. Have you ever heard of a species that stinks?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Well, that would be a relative aspect. Could be from being trapped in a small vessel with limited facilities, but most species have different traits, odor included.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: If they came from that planet we're heading for, then how did they expect to make it to another place if they didn't have warp capabilities?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::wanders about the ship for a bit and finds himself at the Lounge - Enters and sees a couple of his Senior Officers::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: thinks for a moment :: CSO: I think they're just thieves that stole that ship and got stuck out here.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: If they were, I'd guess desperation maybe? But given the planet seems to have suffered its devastation fairly recently, and given Lieutenant Xetani's reaction, I'd guess they were traveling, for part of the journey, faster than light.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: motions in the Captain's direction :: CSO: There's the Captain.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
::Turns and looks.:: FCO: He might have more ideas. He's been in space a lot longer. Seen a lot more.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Yeah, he is getting up there. :: smirks ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Shall we invite him over?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Can't hurt. Let's see what he thinks.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: motions to the Captain to join them ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::heads over to the bar and asks the attendant for a spiced raktigino w/ light cream::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::sees the FCO's hand motion, nods, and strolls over to their table:: FCO/CSO: Lieutenants... thought you two would be off for some shuteye. It's been a long shift.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: It has, Sir, but sometimes you have to wind down a little. Or get your minds in order at least.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: My minds have been wandering tonight, not winding....
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: We were just discussing the aliens Sir. But you're right about it being a long shift. I was just telling Trix here that I thought you were already in bed and I was planning on joining you soon.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Oh?
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Sorry that came out wrong. I meant I was planning on retiring soon myself.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Whew! You know how the XO can be about regulations Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
::manages a weak smile and a chuckle to match it::
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: blushes :: CO: Yes Sir, sorry Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
All: Not sure how to follow that conversation with a work discussion...
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
ACTION: THE BAR ATTENDENT BRINGS OVER THE CAPTAIN'S DRINK AND OFFERS THE OTHERS A CHANCE TO REFILL THEIRS.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: About the aliens Sir. Do you have any ideas on where they are from and what they are doing out here? :: motions the bar attendant away from her ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Or maybe not what they are doing, but perhaps how they are doing it so far from home? If that is their home, of course.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: looks at Trix as if to say, "say something" ::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Hmm, I was hoping the Away Team report would be on my personal PADD by now. I'm afraid I'm in as much in the dark as you are at this point.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Are you going to talk to them Sir? I mean isn't this a first contact situation?
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO/CSO: I'm also hoping once we get this planet, many of our questions will start to generate more answers than more questions. Have we received any telemetry from those two probes?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: My biologist is still trying to get it...what was his term? Spic and span? But the aliens are not that far from what the Federation considers normal.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: That's another question. That "shadow", we still haven't gotten much on it from scans. Maybe they just need to divert course more, but by this point, I'd think the planet's influence would be overcome already.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Yes, but an unusual one Lieutenant. They don't appear at first blush to be a "warp civilization," so we need to tread lightly to avoid contaminating them.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO/CSO: That's why I had LtCmdr. Walker approach them first - not to mention, they're not reported to be conscious yet.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: nods :: CO/CSO: Well I haven't detected any other vessels in the sector so far, so maybe they were from the planet and were the only ones to escape?
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: Or one ship made it. If they got this far since the... um, event on their world I guess? If they got that far in a few weeks, I'd say they have Warp Capability. Or some form of FTL travel.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: As we approach, we'll need to determine how safe it is to travel down to some of the sites those signals are coming from, to see if anyone is actually sending. You may not know this about me, but I'm a fan of ancient fiction, genre, Science, and even older videos that were not even in color. There was an old one that took place in what would been Earth's future, after a thermonuclear war, where an undersea ship traveled to a continent in the southern hemisphere to visit remnants of civilization. It was an interesting take on their future, and fairly predictable as to what happened during Earth's third global war.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Without more data we're not going to get anywhere unless the aliens can talk to us.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: yawns :: CO: Interesting Captain.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: A shuttle's shields could be configured to block most of the radiation. Modified EVA suits could limit exposure some, and Sickbay could provide treatment, but unless we take the time to try and clean the area? Not thinking it's easy to fully protect.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
FCO: Lieutenant - on that note.... We'll have to wait on answers a bit longer I'm afraid. I need you both rested and ready. We should all call it a night.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Agreed Sir. We all need some sleep... alone... in our own quarters… right!
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO/FCO: Have the techs down in the Shuttle Bay prep a couple shuttles for that very mission. We may need them.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
:: stands :: CO: First thing Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
CO: Yes Sir. Probably a good idea. If I can get Eratas to settle down. She's always looking for new social structures to look at. I can send them a quick rundown immediately on shield configuration. Not much off "normal".
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CSO: Lieutenant, have a good evening.
FCO_Lt_Jinx says:
CO: Captain, good night.
CSO_LtJG_Trix says:
FCO: You also, Lieutenant.
CO: And see you on the Bridge in the morning, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
CSO: Sounds good. Ladies. ::saying to both:: Good night. ::heads off, drink in hand::
Host CO_Capt_Adams says:
