Stardate - 11401.17

The USS Pandora is still on route to New Frontier Station limping slightly from their last mission. Everything is held together with bubble gum and bailing wire but functioning satisfactory.
The rendezvous with the Lalairu should happen shortly. Sensors have just detected the Lalairu fleet coming up from "behind" the Pandora. ETA 20 minutes.

CO_Capt_Adams:
::sitting Ready Room:: *XO*: Status report on repairs?
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: crawls out from under her console and taps at it ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor:
::at tactical monitoring sensors still slightly irritated::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: smiles :: Self: That's got it.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
::On Bridge, trying to focus on both status reports from the teams working on sensors and analyzing the data from the last battle.:: Self: Won't work like this, why do I keep trying to do both?

ACTION: The OPS console beeps confirmation of successful repairs.

OPS_Lt_Xetani:
Self: Ha!
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
:: sitting on the Bridge with a pile of reports ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: at the helm just detecting a fleet of ships coming up behind the Pandora :: XO: Commander we have Lalairu ships coming from the stern.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
*CO*: Everything is progressing
CTO_Lt_D`ghor:
::looks up from sensor readings:: OPS: Problems Lt Xetani
CO_Capt_Adams:
*XO*: I understand we should be meeting up with the Lalairu. Have we come up with a timeframe on that?

OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CTO: No Lieutenant. It'll hold until we get to New Frontier.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
::Closes out analysis for the moment and turns to sensor readings.:: XO: Uh... confirmed Commander. Think it's them anyway. Pretty sure... as long as repairs don't require more follow up on sensors.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
XO: ETA is twenty minutes.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
*CO*: I don't seem to have anything on that ::quickly goes through the PADDs to find any on the Lalairu::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor:
::nods:: OPS: Understood. XO: Confirmed Commander. I detect a fleet... of... ::frowns:: approximately 50 vessels.... maybe more.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
*CO*: They are in sensor range Sir
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
CTO: If both sensor packages read that...all three with navigational, I guess that means they don't need calibration. On ship detection anyway. Graviton levels still a bit fuzzy for my tastes.
CO_Capt_Adams:
*XO*: Acknowledged. Keep me updated.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
FCO: Like you said. :: smiles at her ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: nods to Xetani ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: notices a minor fluctuation in non-essential systems and adjusts for it ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: continues to monitor their course as well as the approaching fleet ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
XO/ CO: I think it's from the ships, but might be a sensor glitch we still need to chase down. Gravimetric disturbances aren't very consistent, lots of types out there. Could be from the conglomerate nature of their technology, a bit more likely than sensor glitch I think.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: finally able to look up the species they are going to encounter :: Self: Great. Translation night mare.
CO_Capt_Adams:
:: returns to reviewing damage reports and status as they come in::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
XO: Commander, sensors are detecting various gravimetric disturbances. There are just so many vessels with different warp signatures so close together.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
:: Turns off computer analysis of graviton fields to take a direct look.:: Self: Yeah, think it's the nature of their technology.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
XO: Sir, the Lala... Lalairu are more a culture than a specific species.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
CO/ FCO/ XO: Yeah, that's it. Computer tried to sort it out, but it sometimes focuses wrong. Lots of technology working together there.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
CSO: Run a quick sensor diagnostic and confirm
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CSO: You are correct Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
XO: There are so many different species that they have an adaptive language that uses syntax from all their collective languages and words from them all as well.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
XO: Ran a quick check of the readings without computer analysis. They look like they should. Diagnostics are already continuing on all sensors, but I'll put the gravimetric sensors back on top, as ordered.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
:: enters Engineering after a quick shower and grabbing a clean uniform:: EO: Okay, where are we?
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
OPS: Do you think you'll be able to decode their language?
EO_Michell:
CEO: Running low on bubble gum.

ACTION: The OPS console beeps with an incoming message.

OPS_Lt_Xetani:
FCO: It will be a pain in the rear. I'm not even sure....
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
EO: Smart alec. ::grabs a fresh repair kit and heads to the engine diagnostic she left running::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: looks at her console :: FCO: And so it begins.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: chuckles slightly at Xetani's remark ::

ACTION: The viewscreen begins to pick up the visual signatures of the various vessels

OPS_Lt_Xetani:
*CO*: Captain, I have an incoming message from Laihae... she would like to speak to you at your convenience.... I think.
CO_Capt_Adams:
::pulls up the inventory of various torpedoes, just in case, and hopes shields and phaser arrays are holding together just a little longer, also, just in case::
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
All: Should be interesting on a cultural level, even beyond whatever it is they are coming to work on.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: looks at the message and shakes her head ::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: has a feeling that Trix wants to be in on the action during this mission with the Lalairu ::
CO_Capt_Adams:
*OPS*: Coming out... ::thinks, "mother"::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
*CO*: Aye Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams:
::gets up and exits the Ready Room onto the Bridge::
CO_Capt_Adams:
OPS: Bring Laihae up on the viewscreen Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Aye Sir. :: taps at her console :: On screen.

ACTION: The viewer changes to an interior, a small private chamber hung about with asymmetric drapes of some kind of dark, rich-looking fabric that held a subdued glitter in its folds.
In front of the subtly glittering curtains or tapestries sits the Laihe.

She is tall, slender, insect like, compound-eyed, many-limbed, mostly blue or green in color.
She looks as if someone had taken a praying mantis, given it a slightly mournful, understanding look, and more legs than even a mantis would need.

FCO_Lt_Jinx:
XO: Commander, the Lalairu fleet is matching speed with the Pandora.

CO_Capt_Adams:
Com: Laihae: This is Captain JJ Adams at your service Laihae. Good to see your fleet up and growing stronger
Laihae:
@COM: Pandora: CO: Graciously greeted is the noblissimus entr'acte Abrams chief in command.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: lifts her eyebrows and closes her eyes to concentrate ::
Laihae:
@::moves her top set of forelegs together in a wave::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Sir, the translator is at full function. That's the best it can do.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
OPS: Might be its way of including dialect?
Laihae:
@COM: Pandora: CO: Transfer requesting Hwiii ih'iie-uUlak!ha' noblissimus passenger to chief in command
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CSO: Exactly
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
Self: Okay, the repairs are holding. Now to work on replicating what we need to get this baby back to full power.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: She is saying Greetings Captain and they are here to transport Hwiii ih'iie-uUlak!ha' to us.
CO_Capt_Adams:
Com: Laihae: We are ready to receive the Commander.
CO_Capt_Adams:
OPS: Lieutenant, please see that Transporter 1 is ready to receive the Commander at the discretion of the Lala
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
XO: Commander, we are having a slight problem with our warp field. I believe it's from all of those incoming vessels. Shall I see what engineering can do to compensate?
Laihae:
@COM: Pandora: CO: Hwiii ih'iie-uUlak!ha' noblissimus passenger pleasantance trip enjoyment with ourselves.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Aye Sir. *Transporter 1* Be ready to receive Commander Hwii....the Commander.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: tries to compensate for the fluctuations :: Self: Hm, this isn't working.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::heads to the cargo bay to access the parts replicator::
OPS_H’lo:
*OPS*: Aye Lieutenant. Just some fine-tunings needed. The commander wears a field generator for protection in our environment.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
FCO: Too many Warp Fields interfering with our formation? Maybe if we "shrank" our bubble to minimal size? Although I'm guessing that's already been considered...sorry. Maybe we can adjust the shields to compen...um, your idea is probably better.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
FCO: Yes do and keep me posted
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: smiles over at Trix ::
CO_Capt_Adams:
Com: Laihae: Captain Laihae, thank you for your bringing the Commander to us. I would invite you and your staff to visit our ship, but we are still working on repairs here. Plus, I'm sure the Commander is anxious to get started on his experiment. I will however, send you a full briefing on our encounter with the bandits who destroy worlds for resources
Laihae:
@COM: Pandora: CO: Departure imminent, transport imminent, locations safety, wellwish.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
*CEO*: Bridge to Engineering.
OPS_H’lo:
*OPS*: While the transporter's field analysis routines are pretty thorough, I don't want to take the chance of disrupting his suit.
CO_Capt_Adams:
Com: Laihae: Safe travels Laihae. I hope to meet up with you again soon.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
*H'lo*: Understood. Let me know when you're ready.
Laihae:
@::moves her top set of forelegs together in a wave once again::

ACTION: The communication is ended.

OPS_H’lo:
*OPS*: .Aye Lieutenant.
CO_Capt_Adams:
::thinks to self - what an intriguing creature::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
*CEO*: Engineering are you with us?
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
*FCO*: Jankara here, go ahead Bridge.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
::Checks the computer database to see just how much data we have on these beings for further study.::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor:
CO/XO: Shall I send security to meet the Commander?
CO_Capt_Adams:
FCO: As soon as the Commander is aboard, resume course to New Frontier Station, best possible speed.
OPS: See to it the Commander is assigned proper quarters.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Of course Sir.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
*CEO*: Ah good. We are having a problem with our warp field due to the incoming vessels and their various warp signatures. I tried to compensate, but I think we need your expertise in this. Can you assist?
CO_Capt_Adams:
CTO: Yes, that would be excellent. If he wishes to come to the Bridge or to quarters - his discretion.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
CO: Aye Captain.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
Self: Great, it has to be partially water tight.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
*FCO*: We're working on our warp now. I'm replicating a part. Give me a couple of minutes and we should be good to go.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::orders up the part she needs::
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
*CEO*: Standing by.
OPS_H’lo:
*OPS*: Lieutenant, the Commander is on board.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
*H'lo*: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::picks up the part and heads back to Engineering::
OPS_H’lo:
*OPS*: The commander wishes to come to the Bridge.

ACTION: The fleet of Lalairu ships begin to alter course as a group and head back out to the outer rim of the sector.

FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: resumes best possible speed for New Frontier Station ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
*H'lo*: Have him escorted to the Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Sir, the Commander is coming to the Bridge.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::enters Engineering and transfers power away from the damaged conduit::
CO_Capt_Adams:
::nods accordingly to OPS::
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::starts removing the damaged piece with the help of Michaels and Mitchell::
TO_T’rget:
:: steps out on the Bridge::

ACTION: Out of the turbolift forms a shape hovering about four feet above the floor, horizontal.
Resting on a flexible levitation platform was what looked like a dolphin in an inch-thick coating of glass.
The dolphin swings his tail in greeting, and the "glass" moved and rippled slightly, revealing itself as a skin of water being held in place around the dolphin's body by a small envirofield generator strapped around that tail.

CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::installs the new component and locks it into place with Mitchell's help::
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
Self: Okay, that should work.

ACTION: The dolphin whistles and squeaks and his universal translator output states a few seconds later.

Hwii:
CO: Good Day Captain. Good fishing to you. Permission to come aboard?
CO_Capt_Adams:
Hwii: Permission granted. Good fishing to you as well Commander. Welcome aboard. I hope your accommodations will be satisfactory.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::moves back to the pool table and transfers power back to the new conduit slowly::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: looks up as the Commander enters and smiles ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
::As the situation seems to be returning to normal, returns to confirmation of sensor status. Sees the dolphin enter and turns to it.:: Hwii: That's a new sight for sure. Good day.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
*FCO*: Jankara to Jinx, okay, give it a try.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
*CEO*: That's got it, thanks. :: punches the console again ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: calls G'bi to the OPS console so she can go and make sure the quarters for the Commander are ready ::
CO_Capt_Adams:
Hwii: We had a rough encounter with a rather nasty crew and we are dealing with much right now. But, we will make the best possible speed to the Station. I read a brief on your concept and it is quite intriguing
Hwii:
::looks like he is smiling:: CO: I've been on the rubber "chicken" circuit or in my case the rubber mackerel circuit with the Lalaiuru so anything here will be a change of pace.
Hwii:
::smiles even more:: CO: I've been learning so much with them Captain. Their interpretation of the Euler–Riemann zeta functions are extremely fascinating.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
EO: Okay, I'm going to put through orders to that replicator and get the next dozen components made. Send Diggs over to pick them up.
Hwii:
CO: You have to look into the concept of the different kinds of infinities. Starting with aleph null and going from there. Just wonderful.
CO_Capt_Adams:
Hwii: I have sent copies of the brief to our Science and Engineering staff. I imagine you'll want to meet them as soon as possible.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Excuse me Captain, but I need to go and make sure that Commander Hwiii's quarters are prepared.
Hwii:
CO: At their convenience Captain. I have a briefing prepared.
EO_Mitchell:
CEO: Aye, Ma'am.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::heads to her office::
CO_Capt_Adams:
Hwii: I have a rudimentary understanding of Physics Commander, so most of it is over my head..... I understand the implications however.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
Hwii: Pardon me Commander, Captain, but different kind of infinities? You mean like different universes or something else?
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: looks back at her beeping console :: CO: In a moment Sir. :: goes back and checks the message.
CO_Capt_Adams:
Hwii: Let me introduce you to our Chief of Science, Lieutenant Trix.
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: lifts her eyebrows :: CO: Sir, incoming message, eyes only attachment.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
Hwii: Sorry, Lieutenant Vertan Trix, Chief Science Officer, at your service.
Hwii:
::turns to face the CSO: Maybe in later equations, but I like to stick to our current 26 dimensional frame of reference before I swim into other universes.
CSO_LtJG_Trix:
::Smiles.:: Hwii: That sounds like how Trix would phrase things. I think I may feel like a third wheel before too long if you two have too much else in common.
CO_Capt_Adams:
OPS: To my Ready Room Lieutenant.
Hwii: If you'll excuse me Commander. My staff will see to your needs.
XO: Commander, please introduce yourself. ::heads for Ready Room::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
CO: Aye Sir.
FCO_Lt_Jinx:
:: sits quietly listening to the conversation ::
CO_Capt_Adams:
::sits down to desk to take the call on the vid screen::
OPS_Lt_Xetani:
:: transfers message to the CO's Ready Room. ::
Hwii:
CSO: The critical strip of the Riemann zeta function has the remarkable property of universality. I learned so much from the Lalairu.
CEO_Lt_Jankara:
::sits down at her desk and gets to work::
CO_Capt_Adams:
*XO*: Commander, it seems I'm being called to some sort of conference
CO_Capt_Adams:
*XO*: While I'm gone, you will have the ship. Treat her kindly.
XO_Cmd_Gaeb:
*CO*: I'll keep the watch Sir
