Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya has been tasked with attending the welcoming ceremony of a new Federation signatory. The Panthians are a reptillian species living on the outermost edge of the Federation, little else is known about them.

Host Buzzard says:
Captain Lira-Bolitho was to meet the Federation first contact envoy who was to brief the Seleya on the Panthians, however the Seleya on route to the Panthian system received a distress call, the Seleya responded to the distress call but arrived to late to help anyone. The Federation vessel carrying Lars Blethe the First contact specialist had been

Host Buzzard says:
destroyed by persons unknown.

Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya received further orders from StarFleet to continue onto to the Panthian system.

Host Buzzard says:
The XO,CEO and SO had found Lars Blethe's personal database on part of the computer core retrieved from the debris, however the information is encrypted and the Seleya's computer can only decrypt the information in 17 hours time.

Host Buzzard says:
The Seleya's hails to the Panthians have gone unanswered.

Mission Brief Stardate 10301.26

Host CO_Bolitho says:
TO: Commander More
CC: Lt. Cmdr Hazzem, All Senior Staff
Subject: Mission Brief 
Stardate: 10301.26

Host CO_Bolitho says:
It Seems we had quite an uneventful time so far but I cannot see it remaining that way, even now with the Pathians refusing to answer our hail, the loss of Lars Blethes ship with all hands it seems to be building, Know doubt we will be coming up to the Pathians system shortly so please all remain on guard.. I do not want to be caught out during any

Host CO_Bolitho says:
during any of this

Host CO_Bolitho says:
XO: Commander I want that information about the pathian Species as quickly as possible time is not on our side and we still are non the wiser on who could have possibly attack the federations ship. Please advise the doctor when you have retrieved the information

Host CO_Bolitho says:
SCI: Lt Revell - Francis Please work with Commander More, Mister Hazzem continue to monitor those warp trails if you can.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
TAC: Keep an eye on the system advise me and commander More if we have visitors … I have a feeling they maybe out there, and I do not want to be caught off guard, I also want tachyon sweeps done as well, anything that doesn't look right inform me at once.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
ENG: See what you can find from the debris, and try to identify the weapons that were used even if it's a breakdown of the traces … we may be able to identify once we have made contact with the Pathians

Host CO_Bolitho says:
OPS: Continue to hail the pathain home world advise me when our hails are answered.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
FCO: Continue to the Pathian system, go to impulse just out side there system do not cross until I have advised you, even if we have to work slowly along there border for the time being.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
MED: Once we have the data on the Pathain Species, I want you to take a look at there physiology, please advise me on what you find. 

CIV: Please report to my Ready Room

Host CO_Bolitho says:
That is all

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Captain, recommend we initiate a tachyon detection grid as we reach their system

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*MO* As I said Doctor take a look a them much can be known from the medical side of a species

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Nods to the AXO::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* Can you please hurry along with the transfer of that data please time is running out

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
*CO*: I'm doing my best captain. It's a stubborn piece of equipment...

MO_Cameron says:
*CO* Aye, sir.

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Keeps track of all the ships moving about::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*CEO* I need that information on the Pathains Now

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Whips a cord out of his pocket, hooks the male end to the data unit and the female to the computer core's main access port::

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Grid is on standby, I've configured it to cover half the system; whoever ran away should be still around

CIV_Kavek says:

AXO: Good

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: My ready room Please

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: You have the bridge

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Nods and takes over the command chair::

CIV_Kavek says:

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
*CO*: I've completed the uplink... I'm transferring all information to the bridge, Engineering console..

CTO: Lieutenant, as soon as we enter the system, initiate the Tachyon detection grid, make it a constant scan

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CSO: Aye sir

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters ready room and blinks at the captain:: CO: Looking for a helping hand?

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Nods and exits the cargo bay""

MO_Cameron says:
*CEO* Kn'Tar from Cameron.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Smiles:: CIV: How did you guess, you seem to have an idea why they are not answering hails your advise would be greatly appreciated since your the diplomat here

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Thinks 'Cameron!?':: *MO*: This is Kn`Tar.. go ahead..

MO_Cameron says:
*CEO* Ah was ordered tae report tae assist ye.

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Crosses his legs, and begins checking science teams reports::

CIV_Kavek says:
CO: I explained it quite well. ::grins:: The Pathians are aware that we are the ones trying to make contact, not them. They haven't needed us their whole existence. Therefore, they don't need to respond to us now.

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
*MO*: I see... I'm on my way to the bridge if you would like to join me..

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: And your views on entering there space ?

MO_Cameron says:
*CEO* Aye, sir.  ::makes his way to the turbolift::

OPS_Jameson says:
CO: We are about to enter the system captain

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Deck 1, Bridge!

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*OPS* Full stop when we are there

MO_Cameron says:
::Enters the turbolift::  TL: Bridge.

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Initiates the tachyon detection grid as they cross in to the system::

CIV_Kavek says:
CO: I believe in exploration. We should enter their space. And... since their technology is hardly as advanced as ours... they don't pose a physical threat. Diplomatically speaking... they don't need us. But we are a great bottle of wine they should at least sip.

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Exits onto the bridge, and to the main ENG console::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Sir we're being scanned

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Stands up and looks at the main screen:: CTO: Anything on the grid?

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Looks and bites her lip:: CIV: On a diplomatic side I would have rather have had there permission ...

MO_Cameron says:
::Enters the bridge and looks around sheepishly::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Nothing on the grid sir, it's coming from within the system

CIV_Kavek says:
CO: You still have the chance. ::likes that now she's thinking somewhat on the right track:: I don't think you've yet to ask the question they want to answer.

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Accesses the core information and pauses::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: and what would that question be

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Sir we got 3 vessels coming in fast on an intercept coarse

AXO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Stay here, don't cross their borders

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Slams his fist in anger::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: They're weapons and shields are hot, unknown configuration

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
MO: It's encrypted!!!

AXO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Shields up. Red alert.

MO_Cameron says:
::Looks at Kn'Tar in shock, then at the viewscreen in horror::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Aye sir ::goes to red alert, brings the shields online::

AXO_Hazzem says:
*AXO* Hazzem to Bolitho, we have 3 unknown vessels on an intercept course

AXO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Don't make a move, just monitor them

CIV_Kavek says:
::Eyebrows raised:: CO: In the 20th/21st century, humans had the primitive concept that aliens would... take over their pitiful little planet for their pathetically misused and poisoned resources. If they do become hostile... ::hears the red alert:: ... and this is their first contact with extra-terrestrials... they may have a familiar concept.

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Aye sir

AXO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Tactical analysis, Lieutenant

Host CO_Bolitho says:
*AXO* Acknowledged  ::exists the RR hopefully with the CIV:: CTO: TAC scan on those vessels and take weapon off line and stand down red Alert

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
Self: I see the XO has already taken the pleasure of running an un encryption program... 10 hours left!! ::Slams his fist once again::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Open hailing Frequencies

AXO_Hazzem says:
CEO: Calm down, mister Kn`Tar ::eyes the CEO::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: Yes ma'am ::opens the comm channel::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
MO: That is what I get for all that work.. ::Paces::

MO_Cameron says:
::Watches Kn'Tar, blinking in confusion::

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Walks over to the CEO:: CEO: If you don't calm down Lieutenant, I'm gonna have to relieve you from duty, do I make myself clear?

CIV_Kavek says:
::Enters the bridge behind the CO, curious what will develop of this situation:: CO: Captain, one thing you should know about me. I'm also well trained in... hostile/violent diplomacy. It's actually the first thing I trained in when I was young.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
Com: Unknown Vessel: This is Captain lira-Bolitho we have been invited to your system with regard to a treaty between us and your people we do not mean any harm but ask for permission to enter your space

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
AXO: Aye sir...

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Looks:: CIV: Nice to know well I’m good a mucking these things up

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: Our long range sensors are being blocked ma'am, we still have short range but we can no longer see into the system

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Clenches his fists tight::

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Sighs:: CEO: I know it is frustrating, but we have to have patience ::pats the CEO's shoulder::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Consoles starts beeping:: CO: The vessels are locking their weapons onto us ma'am

CIV_Kavek says:
::Thinks his explanation might have been better if he hadn't have left his Romulan disruptor in his shuttle::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Acknowledged AXO: can you find away a round that quietly

Host CO_Bolitho says:
COM: Unknown Vessel: Please stand down your weapon we are not hostile and mean no harm

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Rubs eyes:: AXO: I'm afraid patience was never one of my good sides...

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Are shields up ?

CIV_Kavek says:
::Refrains from smiling, this is a serious situation, but he always finds humour when an ant tries to punch a bear::

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Eyebrows narrow:: CO: Captain, incoming subspace signal, audio only

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Lets here it

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Opens channel::

Host Buzzard says:
<Unknown Vessel>Federation Vessel: Stand by

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Walks back over to the console and sits::

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Well, seems we get around it, captain.

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Hold that thought for the time being

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Please find out from the MO where my information is

CIV_Kavek says:
CO: They finally contacted you. But... in audio. They're very shy. Introverted. Isolationists. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a treaty out of them. Which, isn't that bad of thing with some low tech races.

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Captain, we still have ten hours to retrieve the information; it appears that Commander More's program is active

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: Thanks for the vote of confidence but lets see how things go as far as I was aware most of it was already agreed

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Is there nothing we can do to download it quicker

Host CO_Bolitho says:
FCO: Are we at a full stop

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Doesn't seem like it, captain. ::shrugs::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Sitting, still at a loss::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: I'm detecting another ship on an intercept coarse ma'am

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Sits in her chair:: AXO: Well normal for us not having all the information needed I guess

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Keep an eye on it

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Agreed; we should be extremely cautious here, we're still under the impression they could be the ones who killed Lars Belthe

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: Did you get any weapon traces of that debris

Host Buzzard says:
Action: Smaller Vessel glides into stop directly in front of the Seleya

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Nods in a agreement with AXO::

FCO_Starlight says:
::Growls under breath:: hopes no one heard ::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
CO: No ma'am, I was concentrating on the core.. but my teams should still be down there..

CIV_Kavek says:
::Curious if their weapons have the power to even tickle the shields of the Seleya::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CEO: Thankyou

AXO_Hazzem says:
CTO: Tactical analysis, Lieutenant

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Captain, incoming hail, audio only

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Sits and waits patiently to find out who s on that ship::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Patch it though

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Looks to the growling FCO:: Self: So.. I'm not the only one who enjoys a good growl.. 

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Opens a channel:: CO: Channel open

Host Buzzard says:
<Unknown Vessel> Federation Vessel: Pleasse sstate your bussinesss in thiss ssysstem?

CIV_Kavek says:
::Listens carefully::

FCO_Starlight says:
::Perks ears up and swishes my tail but  does not let it get to distracting for everyone::

MO_Cameron says:
::Hears the voice and narrows his eyes in concentration::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Sighs quietly:: Com: Unknown Vessel: I am captain Lira- Bolitho of the federation ship Seleya we are here on peaceful terms to complete the treaty between yourselves and the federation

CIV_Kavek says:
::Blinks, "One thing about these races. They like for you to repeat yourself", remembers negotiations with Klingons, between their cursing, yelling, and drooling, little progress was made for years::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Forgot how much he despised diplomatic missions::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Waits to see if she has got any further::

FCO_Starlight says:
::Tries to keep my tail still and sits there quietly::

Host Buzzard says:
<Unknown Vessel> Federation Vessel: Sstate termss of treaty between ....oursselvess and the Federation

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Watches the vessels closely::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Looks at the CIV completely off taken with that one:: Com: Unknown vessel: For your membership into the federation

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Keeps an eye at the grid, while listening to the comm::

CIV_Kavek says:
::Starts to pace, curious if they'll have to define the exact terms of peace, sharing, and working to better their existence in the universe::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Notices another new face on the bridge:: Self: Romulan?? Vulcan...

Host Buzzard says:
<Unknown Vessel> Federation Vessel: I ssee membersship of the Federation... You will hold your position, you will not leave! ::Communications are cut::

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: Channel is closed

FCO_Starlight says:
::Watches everyone on the bridge::    ::sits there trying not to growl again::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
All: I guess that means we stay here for a while then

CIV_Kavek says:
CO: That went rather well Captain. And look... no blown blood vessels in your head.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: 4th ship banks away from the Seleya and retreats in-system and out of Seleya sensor range

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Glares at the CIV before she smiles:: CIV: Yet at any rate .... and I hope your right that it went well

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: The last ship is going into the system.......they're off sensors

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Acknowledged

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO; Just keep a watch out there

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The 3 remaining ships still have their weapons locked onto the Seleya

Host CO_Bolitho says:
FCO: Don't think we are going anywhere at the moment

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO/CIV: We still have questions unanswered, who killed Lars?

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: Yes ma'am

FCO_Starlight says:
CO: Trrrue...  ::with a slight growl in voice::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: Let get negotiations up and running first

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Hopes he isn't chosen to lead the negotiations::

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Sighs, frustrated::

CIV_Kavek says:
AXO: Good question. Another good question to ask is, why would someone want to.

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Looks at the positions of the 3 vessels and thinks to himself:: Self: Hmm a nice full spread of quads would be a nice hello ::smirks to himself::

AXO_Hazzem says:
CIV: Is it of their nature to welcome guests with 3 vessels locking weapons?

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Looks down to the console as the XO's program runs down... 9 hours... 54 minutes..:: Self: Grr..

AXO_Hazzem says:
MO: Doctor, I want you to take care of the Tachyon grid, anything unusual and you report it to me

CIV_Kavek says:
AXO: I'd do the same if a big warship like a Sovereign class roared its way toward my primitive planet.

MO_Cameron says:
AXO: Er, tachyon grid, sir?

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Sighs::

FCO_Starlight says:
::Shakes head as I try to stay in my seat so i don't start bouncing:::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Takes a closer look at the program:: Self: Perhaps.. I could adjust this.. 

CTO_Tkorrick says:
AXO: Sir due to long range sensors being blocked sir, the grid is also unable to scan into the system

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Listens to the CIV and the AXO:;CIV,AXO: Well they like to keep people waiting

AXO_Hazzem says:
Self: Wonderful

MO_Cameron says:
AXO: So, does that mean I don't ha' tae dae anything wi' it the noo?

CIV_Kavek says:
::Looks at the FCO, curious if she has Parkinson's or ADD:: AXO: Can't you use your deflector dish?

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The 4th vessel returns and hails the Seleya

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Accesses his own personal un encryption tools::

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: We're being hailed ma'am

AXO_Hazzem says:
CO: They're back, and hailing

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: Patch them through I guess

Host Buzzard says:
<Unknown Vessel> Federation Vessel: Prepare to receive diplomat

CTO_Tkorrick says:
::Opens the channel::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
Self: This one should do it ::Looks down to the program of an illegal un encryption file::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
::Raises eyebrow:: Com: Unknown Vessel: Acknowledged

FCO_Starlight says:
::Feels that she is being watched like mad::

CEO_Kn`Tar says:
::Removes the XO's program and replaces it with the 'virus':: Self: This should speed it up..

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: I want Security around this ship in a quiet manner if at all possible

MO_Cameron says:
::Figures the silence means "no", and returns to watching things from the back of the bridge::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
FCO: Slave conn and makes sure that diplomatic is transported in to TR1 if required

Host CO_Bolitho says:
AXO: You have the bridge

CTO_Tkorrick says:
CO: Aye sir...::pauses:: ma'am the other vessels have dropped their weapons lock on us

AXO_Hazzem says:
::Nods, and sighs::

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CTO: About time as well

Host CO_Bolitho says:
CIV: Your with me
