USS Pandora 11410.17

The Pandora crew have accepted an invitation from Fratoo to start a tour of the facility as an official announcement of their arrival is prepared to minimize the shock. The tour is about to begin.

Fratoo :
:: Standing with the others. :: All: It is kind of strange to do, considering you were there, but we will start with the launch and landing pads, all right?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: stands next to the CO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: follows the group ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: hovers in the back of the group keeping an eye on everyone ::
Fratoo :
:: Steps outside, moving with a steady pace, trying to not make it obvious he's looking back to make sure the others are following. ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Lieutenant, ship's status? Do these folks know about it yet?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: so many questions about the insectoid race, but still not the appropriate moment to formulate them ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: You did say slowly Sir, they will be in sensor range in 20 minutes
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: nods in acknowledgement ::
Fratoo :
CSO :: Discretely uses tricorder to scan the building's equipment to try and ascertain the capabilities of these beings. ::
Fratoo :
All: The platforms you landed on appear to be mere concrete platforms, but each one is equipped with fuel sources for the ships, cleaning facilities to maintain them, and even scales to measure what the trip did to the ship itself during the flight. Mostly mass detection, but it helps our post trip analysis.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: mumbles to the CSO :: CSO: I could tell you could make a great tactical officer... your curiosity exceeds the strict science matters...
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: hovers behind Trix and whispers :: CSO: Can their technology do what they want it to do?
CSO_Ltjg_Trix :
SC: I'm a terrible shot though, sir.
CTO: I believe so. At the edge of what they can do, but they are pushing their own envelope I believe.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: grunts at Marek and raises an eyebrow :: CSO/SC: I however am I good shot..... Sir.
Fratoo :
All: There is also a small isolation center entrance built next to the pad, so that if there is an orbital issue requiring isolation we are set.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: listening to Fratoo and looking at the platform ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: nods at Fratoo :: Fratoo: Very prudent Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: :: raises an eyebrow :: I am sure about it... :: smiles :: no need to be... jealous... by the way, my old comrades from my times as tactical officers use to label me as a trigger happy...
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
SC: A trigger happy Vulcan.... interesting.
CSO_Ltjg_Trix :
CTO: Doorty insists I tell you that an explosive projectile weapon is more his style. Only one of my hosts trained in military operations...well besides me of course.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: I can happily share some anecdotes with you regarding our service branch... oh those old times
Fratoo :
CTO: We had a few incidents early on. Solar storm radiation, coolant leaks, that kind of thing. Isolation is more for diseases but it lets our crews work securely.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: nods approvingly ::

ACTION: As the crew walks along, large numbers of beings can be seen gathering outside the complex.

OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: whispers :: CO: Sir, 10 minutes to sensor range, shouldn’t we tell them about the Pandora?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: notices the gathering insectoid beings :: All: I think we are becoming the center of a whole world attention right now...
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: whispers :: OPS: I put the XO in charge of this mission. He needs to be the one handling it, not me.
Fratoo :
SC: Yes, I believe they came to see the test ship and its crew return. Word of your arrival will likely start to spread soon.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: stares at the XO and then asks :: Fratoo: And honestly, what do you think it would be the general reaction to our... unexpected visit?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods and moves to the XO and hands him her PADD with the information that the Pandora is 10 minutes from sensor range :: XO: Sir, here is the information you requested.
Fratoo :
SC: I... I do not know to be honest. We knew we were not alone, but to have another species visit like this? I think it will take a bit of control to limit fear from some of the more excitable types.

XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: Thank you Lieutenant
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
:: look at the PADD and give it to Captain Adams ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
Fratoo: Maybe introducing the elements gradually might help keep everyone calm
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo: :: nods :: that takes us to the point... is your society a self-controlled one, or you need a strong law enforcement system? :: tries to be very, very politically correct on the subject ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: :: Whispers :: Sir, shouldn’t you tell Fratoo about the Pandora?
Fratoo :
XO: It might, but it will be a tough task to manage
Fratoo :
SC: Our law enforcement? I am not sure how to judge its strength. I think it is not that large. Most of our effort is in the space effort now.
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo: I see... :: thinks - a very distracting answer :: 
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: makes a note in his PADD when Fratoo isn’t looking at him ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: Maybe our presence here should not be augmented by others coming in to visit until we have a better idea of how the population reacts
Fratoo :
SC: I am not sure how to judge it, Captain Marek. I have nothing to compare our society to except ourselves and a few sets of images from the Treint.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: They already suspect that we have a larger ship and the Captain did ask to have the ship move in slowly.
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo:: :: raises an eyebrow :: The Treint?
Fratoo :
SC: The other beings, the ones we've gotten the radio frequency signals from.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: Wouldn't it be better to warn them it's coming Sir?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: Their leaders may suspect it but the general population may not take it in a good light
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo: Oh yes, excuse my lapse... :: raises an eyebrow :: Blame it on my age :: smiles ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: I'm certain that the general populace can't see the Pandora from the planet’s surface Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: Unless Captain Adams countermands it, tell the Pandora to back-off and wait for our signal before approaching
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
OPS: They can't, but information can leak easily from the control center to the mass media
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
XO: Sir, Captain Adams is the one who had me tell the ship to move into sensor range.
CSO_Ltjg_Trix :
:: Whispered. :: XO/OPS: See it maybe, but not identify I'd wager.
Fratoo :
SC: How large would a strong law enforcement agency be? I can't judge if it's strong but I can tell you less than 2% of our resources go to law enforcement and defense.
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo: Oh, in that matter, everything is relative and can be largely discussed... It can be analyzed not only by its mere size, but also for the methods they use to enforce the law... also, how fair is the law... it has so many political implications...

Fratoo :
SC: Again, I do not know how to judge it. Our laws are our laws, I cannot say if they are enforced one way or another.
SC_Capt_Marek :
Fratoo: And you stated that perfectly. Your world is your world. We cannot interfere at all. Just take my questions as an exercise of pure curiosity.
Fratoo :
SC: Very well. I hope I can figure out how to better provide answers to you.

ACTION: Misran exits the facility, walking towards the group. Behind him is a group of a dozen individuals, followed by a bound Fortua.

Fratoo :
Misran: What are you doing? What have you done with minister Fortua?
Misran :
Fratoo: I am doing what needs to be done, now and for the future of our people. I am taking control of things before our opportunity is lost forever.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: looks around and puts hand on phaser ::
Misran :
All: You are all now guests of my government. Minister Fratoo has been deposed, as of now.

ACTION: The dozen beings behind Misran raise weapons, aiming them at the group.

CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: taps communicator :: Yatch: D'ghor to Helios... Emergency transport all away team back to yacht.... Energize !
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: looks back at the CTO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: moves his hand to his phaser holster ::

ACTION: The Aerowing Shuttle's two transporters begins transporting crew members by rank. Captains Adams and Marek are transported first.

CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: points phaser at the Misran group and waits ::

ACTION: Half of those following Misran drop their weapons in shock. The rest still hold weapons, but look about confused as Commander Gaeb and Lieutenant Xetani are beamed away.

ACTION: As the Aerowing locks on to the last two, Misran rushes forward and tackles the CSO, making the transporter miss. Lieutenant D'Ghor is transported away.

CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: looks around :: All: KHEST !
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
CO: Permission to transport back and retrieve the CSO?

ACTION: The Aerowing resets and grabs the CSO, leaving Misran and his band lost and bewildered.

CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: moves over to the transporter and looks at the pad :: CO: Sir... we have the CSO.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: materialized aboard the yacht still holding his phaser :: All: Emergency departure procedure now!

CSO_Ltjg_Trix :
All: What in the pools just happened?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: rushes to the pilots seat and does all the pre-flight checks ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: runs to the co-pilot seat and activates sensors ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
CSO: Trouble.
SC_Capt_Marek :
All; Are we all accounted for?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
SC: Yes Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO/XO: Then my logical suggestion is... to leave the heck out of here before it escalates even more
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
::sends an escape vector to the Pandora to OPS::
