<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission – 'One Giant Leap' – Part 3>>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Have you prepared the runabouts?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::In Sickbay, organizing the staff and triaging the incoming wounded from the planet below::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: at her station keeping the ship where its supposed to be:: CO: Working on it now. They'll be ready to go in about 20 minutes

Pilot says:
::awaiting response::

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Thank you.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Pilot: Would you like to come aboard my vessel to discuss this further?

Pilot says:
COM: CO: I have demanded your surrender. You'll have plenty of time to talk about it on our world. You have 5 minutes to comply.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Gets a memo from the Captain and reads it carefully, wondering if he has just been drafted to whatever ship he finds himself on now::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sighs:: COM: Pilot: Your ships are no match for my vessel....Mr ? We are not here to fight, but help.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Looks back and nods to the captain hoping he'll realize that means the runabouts are ready ::

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Inform the doctor, I want him on that mission.

Pilot says:
COM: CO: Perhaps our ships are no match, which is why we havent destroyed you already for your attack on our world. ::a long pause:: We are willing to escort you into 
orbit and then to our world ::hesitatingly:: as guests, to discuss the situation.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Stops a passing medical assistant type person:: Medic: Excuse me, please but, what exactly is a Artemis and an Athena?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Understood. *CMO* Report to the runabouts you're going on an away mission.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*FCO*: Who is this?  ::Puzzled by the new voice giving orders::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Treating a burn victim::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sighs:: COM: Pilot: We are dispatching medical transports in a matter of minutes, they are flying under a flag of peace and will attempt to rescue and help our people below. Is that acceptable? And I will inform my pilot to follow you into orbit. ::nods to the FCO::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CMO* Stephanie Uax, your new FCO, relaying a message from the captain..

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: nods back and gets ready to follow the vessel into a standard orbit ::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*CMO*: Well, my dear Miss Stephanie, you must be mistaken.  I have no new or old FCO for that matter.  And, umm, Captain who?  Just where exactly am I?  What ship is this and did you know your Sickbay is a frightful mess?

Pilot says:
::another long pause:: COM: CO: Agreed.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CMO* You're on the Scimitar and Captain Rome, and yes you do have a new FCO so get used to it..

CO Capt. Rome says:
::leans over and opens the comm:: *CMO*: doctor...Bauer is it? I am dispatching two medical transports down to get the rest of your people, now be there to lead the team or get your ass out of uniform, your choice.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Pilot: Thank you. As a gesture of peace, I would like to offer yourself and your crew to come aboard the Scimitar, that's the name of my ship

Pilot says:
COM: CO: I accept. Where do we dock?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*CO*: Chill, pops and simple explanation and a please would work better with me.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Pilot: My pilot will send you the docking information. ::nods:: Then someone will take you to meet me.

Pilot says:
::closes the comm::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*FCO/CO*: Now as I understand it you both want me to go down to the planet to help more wounded, right?  That I can do, I'll find my own way to Shuttlebay 1 and Its been nice chatting with you.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CMO*: We don't have much time doctor, you best know the situation down there. That was your team, and I need you to go get them. Please. ::cringes::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Looks to the captain and shakes her head.

ACTION: 4 of the Runak 1-man ships draw closer to the Scimitar.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Asks a Doctor to take control of Sickbay and exits making his way, by computer guidance system, to shuttle bay number 1::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Not to sound TOO much of an alarm but theres an overload occuring in one of the ships..

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*CO*: You got it, buddy.  I'll see what I can do for them down there.  ::Enters Turbolift::

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Yeah, I know......divert those ships to shuttlebay two, have Tactical meet them there and escort them to the situation room..

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Show me.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CMO*: Godspeed, Doctor. Rome out.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: sends the CO the information to his console :: CO: See.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: taps a few buttons and slowly starts backing away ::

SCENE: On screen, the 4 fighters draw closer to the Scimitar. All visually looks normal.

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Raise shields, hail them to stop their approach

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: I have made a connection to their comm systems.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Understood, :: Raises shields and goes to red alert ::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Finds the shuttlebay and looks around wondering if he's gotta fly himself down there, he has supplies and has asked a few medical type people from this ship's Sickbay to join him on this away emergency run to the planet::

ACTION: Over the comm, a fuss is heard between the ships, the lead pilot loading weapons.

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Tell them to stop their approach and inform them of the overload, Lieutenant.

Pilot says:
COM: OPS: Please, we will... ::can be heard yelling:: Three, break formation! Break break...

CO Capt. Rome says:
CTO: Fire a warning shot

ACTION: The lead pilot breaks formation, turns and fires...upon the overloading vessel. It is destroyed.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Sees a shuttle with crew gathered around it and loading it with, what looks like medical supplies, and figures that must be for him::

CTO Ens. Kilk says:
CO: Maybe we won't have to... ::points to the screen::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::taps his commbadge::*CMO*: Doctor Bauer, please remain where you are until I give the go ahead....

CO Capt. Rome says:
CTO: What the..

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*CO*: You got it, boss.

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Open a channel!

ACTION: The other three fighters go to a complete stop.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Channel open.

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Pilot: Does anyone want to explain to me what just happened?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Oversees the loading and gathering of staff and stuff into two shuttles::

Pilot says:
COM: CO: One of my pilots had a navigation failure. Rather than risk damaging your vessel, appropriate action was taken. ::pauses:: He was a good man. ::another long long pause:: If your invitation is still open, we would like to dock.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Turns back to the CO and shakes her head ::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at the CTO:: COM: Pilot: Shut down your engines and main power systems, we 
will bring you in via tractor beam. If you attempt to activate any systems, we will fire.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::glances at the chrono::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CMO*: doctor Bauer, when ever you are ready you have permission to launch.

Pilot says:
COM: CO: Looks like we've gone from demanding your surrender to being ordered the same thing. ::sounds completely dejected and shuts down all power::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CTO: Cover the runabouts.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Once ready, only thing to do is wait for the go ahead.  Sees he is not amongst a talkative crowd, great a whole ship full of them, he thinks and smiles to himself for no particular reason::

MO Greska says:
@ ::orders a coffee from the replicator as they depart:: CMO: Want something, boss?

CO Capt. Rome says:
COM: Pilot: You force my hand. When you are docked, a team of security members will check you for weapons and then take you to see me. I assure you, I offer only peace.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*CO*: Awesome, Captain.  We are on our way, I'll let my pilot up front get the clearance and I guess you better open the shuttlebay door and just leave the porch light on.

ACTION: The ships are guided into the docking bay via tractor beam.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Punches in the command to open shuttle bay doors ::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: No thanks, I'm good to go.  I trust we have everything we need?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CTO: Make sure your team checks our guests for concealed weapons...I don't trust them

MO Greska says:
@ CMO: Medical kits, check. Coffee, check... looks like we're all set.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: ...Hey! I ain't your boss, either.  I'm just along for the ride.  ::Shuttle begins to move::

ACTION: The CMOs runabout departs.

MO Greska says:
@CMO: As far as I know, you're in charge of this away team. That makes you the boss, boss!

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: I don't drink coffee, just for the record.  I never developed that habit.

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Please record what information we have on the events that led to the subspace rift and our task in repairing it and load it into the viewer in the situation room

MO Greska says:
@CMO: Habit? You do know its just the flavour, right? No caffeine. No addiction. I could stop anytime.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: Yeah, okay you got me there but, let's just all be a good team.  We will triage setting up three main med stations::

MO Greska says:
@::goes quiet to listen to the CMOs briefing::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: The habit for drinking hot liquids.  And caffiene is still a popular morning stimulant in even our culture but, I suppose there's worse things.

SEC Fluer says:
*CO*: Captain, I have three guests. They have been checked for weapons and they have cooperated. Two of them are staying in their ships but their commander is requesting to speak with you.

MO Greska says:
@CMO: Actually on my homeworld, we have a coffee thats something of an aphrodisiac. ::bites her lip in slight embarrassment::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*SEC*: Make sure they don't power up those vessels and bring their leader to my Ready room.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@MO/All:  Do we have use of your ship's teleporters?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@MO: Hmm, okay.  Anyway...

MO Greska says:
@ ::goes red and turns away::

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Lieutenant, you have the Bridge. I will be in the Ready room.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@All: If we can use teleporters we send the worse cases to Sickbay, that includes those patients needed emergency surgery.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::nods::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@All: If not they'll need to be evacuated to Sickbay by shuttle.

MO Greska says:
@CMO: We'll be out of range of the Scimitar for transporters. ::nods::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::steps into the Ready room, now mostly empty of personal belongins, sans a picture of him, Ethan and Zoran from years ago and smiles, before sitting down at the desk::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@MO: Okay shuttles it is, if we need more shuttles than two I hope that won't be a problem for your command staff.

Pilot says:
::walks onto the bridge with escort, and is shown to the ready room, ringing the chime::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Pilot: Enter.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@All: The facility I working in on the planet had an infirmary I was use to, if its still undamaged we can set up there, the rescue teams on the planet will then have a place to bring the wounded they find and rescue.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Keeps the ship right where it is, scanning for any unknown threats that could arise.

Pilot says:
::enters the ready room, holding his helmet under his arm:: CO: I am Colonel Henlon. I hope you'll excuse our somewhat scruffy appearance. This disaster is bigger than anything in our history.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::stands up and crosses the room to meet the Colonel:: Henlon: Welcome aboard the Scimitar, Colonel. I apologise the security precautions, but I was unsure of your motives....please, take a seat and I will bring you up to speed and answer any of your concerns.

Col. Henlon says:
::sits down, placing his helmet on the desk:: CO: Your security is understandable. I'd have done the same. I have many concerns. Where do I start?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::moves back to his seat and motions for the Colonel to sit down:: Colonel: I am deeply saddened for the loss of life that has occured on your planet, but I assure you we did not cause it. Our weapons firing was my doing to stop a subspace breach from engulfing your planet

@ ACTION: Escorted by two jets, the shuttle lands at designated co-ordinates.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Looking out the window remember his time on Runak::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Okay, everyone its party time, let's go great our guests and treat them to a bandaid or two.  Stay focused and remember, communication is key.  ::Prepares to exit shuttle, restless from sitting::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Makes his way, leading the others to the Runak base camp station where they resided while here::

MO Greska says:
@::pushes the button to open the doors and gasps at the destruction she sees::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@MO: Such a waste, huh?

Col. Henlon says:
 CO: I am sure you can understand my lack of trust. My latest intel tells me your people have been hiding on our world, spying, using our resources...

CO Capt. Rome says:
::nods:: Colonel: Your intel is correct, how ever our intentions are not to interfere....when a race of people are close to achieving warp flight, my people often come and watch and study in an attemt to ease relations in the future....in fact, my intereference here in helping your planet has already forced me to break my government's cardinal rule.

MO Greska says:
@CMO: How can you be so blaze? It's horrible. ::gulps::

@ SCENE: The area is devestated. Rubble, fires, and bodies lie everywhere. There is a thick smoke rising into the air.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Sends out many teams of a medic or two and security personnel to search for Starfleet COM badges and use tricorders to scan for our people.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Keeping a close eye on the situation around the Scimitar ::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
MO: Ma'am, I've seen a whole lot worse than this and in my profession you keep your sense of humor or you lose your mind and then who can you help then.  Besides the hurt need their outlook on life to feel better too.  Humor does that.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Leads the rest to set up triage in the old med center of the base camps::

ACTION: Incoming message for Rome and Ro'kar.

MO Greska says:
@CMO: No need to call me 'maam', boss!

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@MO: The hard part here is to not treat everyone, I hope they get there resolve on quick up there, I see a hurt body I tend to want to help, I don't ask for my patients political views.

Col. Henlon says:
CO: At the end of the day it seems our two governments will have a lot to sort out.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CO* Sorry to interrupt, Theres an incoming message for you and your guest

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Enters old infirary at the camp and starts instructing and assigning to task to get everything in order for the soon to be arriving walking wounded::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Colonel: I agree...excuse me, I have an incoming message. ::activates the monitor in his desk and reads the letter::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*FCO*: I see it, Ensign. Thank you.

Col. Henlon says:
::nods and waits patiently::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Starts by rearranging the gurneys, bio beds and clearing out a workspace from clutter.  Instructs nurses to start sterilization equipment and others to start unpacking our supplies::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes a deep breath:: Colonel: Just as I feared, my government is not too happy about my actions here today...but I stand by my decision...but I am afraid I will not be able to help you recover from the failed warp test...I have to let you take on that task yourselfs. I have done enough, and I would like you to try and keep our existance from the general public if possible until we sort this out with my officials

Col. Henlon says:
CO: That could be hard... your medical transports has been shown on our television news networks.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
@::Begins transforming the space back into his own, the med staff is working well, they just needed direction::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Colonel: Then I guess it will be a long time until we sort this out, Colonel.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
*FCO*: Hey, Stephanie, dear, when you get a minute tell the Captain things are going a okay down here.
