@Captain: As we are probably going to be here for a while let us at least talk of what we have to offer the Federation and what we had hoped from you ::Smiles:::

Lt. Varek

LtJG. Tharrn
@Brinn: I am alright, Captain. Don't worry about me - focuss your attention on the gamleasians. I'll try to help as good as possible.

Lt. Praxton
XO: Aye, sir

Lt. Lenor

Cmdr. Richter III
Thaxton/Varek: To this end I have a couple of plans

Lt. Peters
Pang:  Do we have a lock on the Captain and Tharrn?

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: Sir - both ...

Lt. Varek

Cmdr. Richter III

Lt. Varek
::awaiting arrival of other officers patiently::

Capt. Brinn
@Garan:  Hardly. 

Lt. Peters
Richter:  Sir.

Ens. Pang
Quchant:  Sir ... can I assist with the lock on the Captain and Counselor?

Cmdr. Richter III
ALL in RR:  I propose to try and resolve this with minimum force, we have already suffered and I do not want the Captain and Counselor put at further risk.

Garan
@Thorn: No all he mentioned about was somew kind of code of theirs

Lt. Praxton
:;watches Lanor and Peter's join them::

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: The craft seem to be evenly spaced around us...but still moving....they shouldnn't be a problem....as for the lock...

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Well....It is tenous at best.....

Lt. Varek
::notes a distinct difference in the leadership styles of Captain Brinn and Cmdr. Richter::

Lt. Praxton
::nods::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Garan: The Prime Directive is more than a 'code'. It's the fundamental principal of the Federation. It defines eveyrthing the federation stands for.

Capt. Brinn
@Garan: We came here with a willingness to help, and we've been met with narrowmindedness.

Cmdr. Richter III
Lenor: I propose to try and resolve this with minimum force, we have already suffered and I do not want the Captain and Counselor put at further risk.

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: We need to disperse the interfernce for a better lock

Cmdr. Richter III
SCRAP THAT

Lt. Lenor
::nods to Richter::

Ens. Pang
Quchant :  I have all the crafat targetted Sir ...

Lt. Praxton
XO: Sickbay is on full alert, awaiting rescue

Garan
@Captain : Here is a data terminal for your use I think you may find it quite informative on our Laws , politics and Sciences :::Smiles::

Lt. Peters
<Wipes short term memory>

Capt. Brinn
@Your way or no way.  I am still willing to negotiate, but I want Tharrn returned to the ship.

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Good....will the computer hold all the target locks now?

Grenail
@ ::Enters with a physician::

Capt. Brinn
@::takes terminal and waits for answer::

Lt. Varek
::raises an eyebrow as he awaits the plan::

Ens. Pang
Quchant :  Yes Sir I believe so ... is there some way we can reduce the interference?

LtJG. Tharrn
@Garan: Garan... it's important that you understand that the Federation CAN'T just give away technology...

Lt. Peters
::Waits on the XO's words of wisdom::

Grenail
@ ::Moves to Tharrn:: Tharrn: How do you feel?

Garan
@Captain : I had heard that you peoples are familiar with politics... I am afraid it must be as it is 

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: We need to create the opposite compound of what ever the interference is made up of

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: That should neutralise it

Lt. Praxton
::is worried about the Counselors condition::

Lt. Lenor
::wonders what she is doing here once again.... puzzled::

Ens. Pang
::wishes Lenor was here to help::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Well, there's that numbness in my left side, but otherwise I guess I'll get along.

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: Aye Sir ... but the scan technology is not known ...

Capt. Brinn
@Garan"  We have little know;ledge of your culture, and you have lttle knowledge of yours.  Tharrn would be better off aboard the Seleya.

Garan
@Tharm: What of an even trade of technology then ? Did all of your peoples equally invent everything ?

Lt. Varek
::looks at the faces of his fellow officers, sensing the discomfort of the current situation::

Capt. Brinn
@I will remain here alone.

Grenail
@ Tharrn: The numbness should pass.  The wound is healing nicely.

Cmdr. Richter III
Peters/Lenor: I would lioke you both to work together to build a device I think the Gameleasians might need, Im not sure what it is yet, they must want soem thing from us, but I want it to be self destructable by us when used by them

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: We need to improvise

Lt. Praxton
::sits and waits for the XO to return from the WC::

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Try isolating a componant piece of the interference

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: perhaps another probe would aid diagnostics?

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Make it so

Cmdr. Richter III
LAG

Garan
@Captain : First I must see what this thing "the Prime Directive " Really means to you and Us 

LtJG. Tharrn
@Garan: Naturally not! A culture that acquires warp-technology by ITSELF is normaly considered to be ready for a first contact.

Ens. Pang
::launches very slow probe - monitoring carefully::

Lt. Lenor
<Ens. Stevens> Quchant:  I am trying to find the right frequency that might jam the comminucations between the ships and the surface.... I will let you know as soon as I have found the correct one.

Capt. Brinn
@::looks distrustful of Grenail, since he is tho one that shot Tharrn::

LtJG. Quchant

Ens. Pang
Quchant :  We are about to lose the probe Sir ...

Rich
THE VESSEL FIRES ON THE PROBE {torpedo}

Garan
@Tharnm : Nad do all of them then have to reinvent the wheel on everything ?

Cmdr. Richter III
All in RR: I suggest we speak with Garan

Lt. Varek
XO: sir, if I may

Rich
THE PROBE EXPLODES IN A MIRIAD OF SHARDS

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Target the vessel attacking the probe...and fire

Ens. Pang
Quchant:  direct hit ... but I have some data

Capt. Brinn
@Garan:  Ir means not handing you handouts, but helping you help yourselves.

Cmdr. Richter III
{~} ~ Quchant: Open a channel to Garan, and put it through to the RR

Grenail
@ Tharrn: I would like to apologize to you.

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Belay that order

LtJG. Quchant
XO: Sir.

Lt. Lenor
<Stevens> Pang: ::whispers:: I might not be Lenor... but I think I can do the job ::smiles::

Ens. Pang
::stops herself from pressing the button::

LtJG. Quchant
{#}Garen: Seleya to Garen come in please

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Apologize?

Capt. Brinn
@Might I  suggest, Garan, you show us the real Gamleasia?  

Ens. Pang
Stevens:: Thanks ... the probe shows this weird pattern ...

Lt. Praxton
::waits for contact to be made::

Capt. Brinn
@Let us walk among your people, and see more than the banquet you've prepared for show.

Garan
@Brinn: Captain I dont propose any handouts but an rqual more or less trade of technology ... I know we may have some things that may interest you like an automated defense system

LtJG. Quchant
{#}Garen: Seleya to Garen...Come in Please!

Grenail
@ Tharrn: It was not my intention to shoot you.  I have had no dealings with aliens and your Lt. Varek, had me on edge.

Rich
AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Please do not attempt to approach this area. We will defend as necessary

LtJG. Tharrn
@Garan: The Federation stands for peacefull coexistence of it's races...

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Shut that message off

Lt. Varek
XO: Sir, the Gamleasians seemed most interested in replicator technology

Lt. Praxton
::paces a bit::

Cmdr. Richter III
::turns to all in RR::

Grenail
@ Tharrn: When you stood, I acted out of reflex.  I hope you can accept my apology.

Garan
@{#}<Gubah> He is not available right now .... I will get him

Ens. Pang
Quchant - Aye sir - does that!

Capt. Brinn
@Garan: Then a tour of your planet would be useful.

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Put the comm signal thru to the RR

Ens. Pang
Stevens;  Quchant suggests we isolate an element of the scan pattern

Cmdr. Richter III
All in RR: It appears that Garan is not responding, Im open to suggestions

Ens. Pang
Quchant:  Aye Sir ::thinks - he is very demanding::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Well, if you'd know the Federation you'd have known that we don't want to harm you in any way.

Ens. Pang
::patches signal to RR::

Lt. Varek
::wonders if this is Commander Richter's first executive officer position::

Garan
@Captain : I am sure it can be arranged <G> but are you always safe from everyone ? when the Borg came through here our systems drove it off 

Lt. Praxton
XO: If we finally get through, please inquire about the Counselors condition?

LtJG. Quchant
{#}XO: Sir, Garen is coming on line....

Lt. Varek
XO: sir, I see two possibilities for rescue.

Cmdr. Richter III
Praxton: I will

Grenail
@ Tharrn: That is why I kept you here.  I wanted to help heal your wounds, and offer my apology.

Lt. Praxton
::nods her thanks::

Cmdr. Richter III
Varek: Please speak then

Capt. Brinn
@::looks at Garek for a response.

Ens. Pang
Stevens:  I think I have it ... can you confirm that trace is contributing to the interference?

Garan
@<Gubah> Garan: Incoming hails for you sir 

Grenail
@ Tharrn: I wanted to show that we are not a violent people as well.  We are just different.

Ens. Pang
::isolates the trace::

Lt. Varek
XO: I need to know whether or not the unmanned craft have enough room for a person to beam aboard

Garan
@Gubah : Very well 

Lt. Lenor
<Stevens> Pang: Yes..... you are correct... that is causing the interference.

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: I accept your apology - and I hope that I get to know your race a bit better...

Cmdr. Richter III
::turns to Lenor:: can you answer Vareksa question?

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: Sir ... we have identified the scan element interfering ... 

Garan
@Captain :if you dont mind for a few minutes ?

Grenail
@ ::Smiles:: Tharrn: As do I.  

Capt. Brinn
@Garan:  Of course.

Lt. Varek
XO: It is possible, if they were launched from the same area as the building we were in to transport into one and return with it to the surface, after the Seleya "leaves" the vicinity (only to return shortly thereafter)

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Invert the frequency of that element and use the deflector dish

Capt. Brinn
Could we summarise where we are?

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Naturally.We learn by asking questions ...

Capt. Brinn
Guress not.....

Lt. Lenor
Varek: There is enough room... only if .... and I stress only if they transport you to the one location that is large enough for a humaniod life form.  Other wise you will be beamed into the bulkhead.

Garan
@# Ship : Garan Here

Ens. Pang
::thinks - good idea:: Quchant:: Working on it now sir!

Grenail
@ Tharrn: You are not... human are you?

LtJG. Quchant
XO: Sir...Garen for you

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: No. I am El-Aurian.

Cmdr. Richter III
Quchant: thankyou

Lt. Varek
XO: the other option would be to have the Seleya destroy all the existing enemy vessels and fly a shuttle down to the planet

Grenail
@ Tharrn: What is that?  An El-Aurian.

Cmdr. Richter III
Varek: received

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: it is working ... the lock on the rest of the AT is much stronger

Lt. Peters
Varek:  We don't know how many vessels they have on the surface for re-enforcements

Lt. Varek
XO: transporting to the surface seems ineffectual as they seem to have blocked the area, sir

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Well done....

Cmdr. Richter III
#GARAN: What is the meaning of firing on this ship and holding two Federation Officers

Capt. Brinn
@::listens in to Garan, as she foillowed him::

Ens. Pang
::strengthens the lock further::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: My race was nearly annihilated by the Borg. Only few survived - most of them found their way into the federation.

Lt. Praxton
::listens to Richters conversation with the planet::

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: See if you can build the strength on the lock up to the poitn where transport is possible

Capt. Brinn
@::looks around the chamber, and edges her way to an unguarded door::

Lt. Varek
Peters: We do not know much, but it should be possible to strike their existing drones and get started to the planet before they can react

Cmdr. Richter III
::looks at Varek::

Grenail
@ Tharrn: The Borg?  We know very little about galactic happenings.

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: Aye Sir ... will take a few minutes ...

Lt. Peters
Varek:  That is true, but it is very risky

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Oh, Garan mentioned you drove away the Borg. I thought you know about them...

Grenail
@ Tharrn: We only know that the Ferengi Alliance controls most of this quadrant.

Cmdr. Richter III
::prepare a Rescue Team, use all resources you can but use minimum force as b=necessary

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: We are not going anywhere

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: I have Lt. Varek apparently on planet!

Capt. Brinn
@::looks innocent when attention turns her way, but edges further as opportunity presents itself::

Lt. Lenor
XO: I would not recommend anyone beaming over to the ships... I was trying to find a way to jam the commincations between the ships and the surface. If we can do that then we need not attack at all.

Garan
@# Richter : AS far as the prisoners ...Political expediency ...as far as they ships firing on you ? Did you read the ZInvitation sent to your Federation ? If a Warship apporaches closer that 100 Tarns it will be fired upon by the automated defenses .

Cmdr. Richter III
Lenor: Can you prepare a pulse or beam to disable those vessels

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Check the bio-signature and you will see it is not Varek

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: It should be the CO

Capt. Brinn
@:;sneaks around the corner, and exits the room Garan is in::

Grenail
@ Tharrn: I have never heard of the Borg.

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: It is .... and I can identify the counselor too ... they seem to be underground though

Cmdr. Richter III
#Garan: No one on this ship was aware of such indications and no harm was intended, now, what do you mean by holding our Officers

Capt. Brinn
@::makes a run for it, down the corrider, maintaining vigilance::

Lt. Lenor
XO: yes sir I can.... but I truly believe jamming communications is the best way to go Sir

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: The ferengi told you that?

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Do we have a strong enough lock yet?

Lt. Praxton
::awaits report on the Captains and Counselors condition::

Lt. Varek
::stands and excuses himself to see to rescue preparations::

Cmdr. Richter III
Lenor: Then do it please

Cmdr. Richter III
::looks at Praxton:: 

Ens. Pang
Quchant ... the Captain is moving ...

Lt. Varek
::exits ready room to bridge::

LtJG. Quchant
Pang: Keep that lock on

Cmdr. Richter III
Praxton: I need you on the AT too, to tend to any injuries as emergency transport is out

Lt. Lenor
XO: Sir.... which? the beam or the jamming of communicatiosn?

Lt. Varek
::looks over bridge to see who is in the command chair::

Ens. Pang
Quchant:: Aye Sir .... it is getting stronger ....

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: The Ferengi are only interested in one thing: profit. 

Grenail
@ Tharrn: They told us many things.  Like the Klingons should be fired upon on sight.

Cmdr. Richter III
Lenor: jam the transmission and then configure a beam as a contigency

Lt. Praxton
::nods to Xo, stands and leaves the RR and heads to sickbay::

Lt. Lenor
::starts walking out of RR::

@::unarmed, makes her way toward the place she last saw Tharrn::

ONE VESSEL ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE OF GAMLEASIA AND HEADS ON A TRAJECTORY STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE BUILDING WHERE GARAN, GRENAIL AND THE HOSTAGE CREW ARE

Lt. Praxton
<sickbay personnel> Ok, here we go....

Lt. Varek
#XO: Is your intention to beam us down or attempt to beam the original AT up to the ship?

Cmdr. Richter III
Pang: can you beam the Captain and Tharrn up

Capt. Brinn
@It is allmost as though you are being directed.......

LtJG. Quchant
XO: Sir....::points at screen::

Ens. Pang
XO:: I need to kill that ship before it damages the Gamleasians

Grenail
@ T&B: But look at the wound, it is completely healed ::Reveals healed wound from under bandage::

Garan
@::::Has people tracking down the jamming signals :::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Brinn: Sir, I think we shouldn't blame the Gamleasians. The information the Ferengi provided led them to false conclusions.

Cmdr. Richter III
Varek: we have a possible lock on the AT for beam up

Capt. Brinn
@::awaits response::

Lt. Peters
XO:  If we know the source of the jamming signal, I suggest we take it out.

Lt. Peters
XO:  on it.

Lt. Varek
XO: WE must beam them all aboard now, including the Gamleasians

Ens. Pang
XO:: If we could stay still long enough - we could beam them out!

Garan
@:::Orders that the shielding for the captives be dropped ::

Grenail
@ T&B: We received this from the Ferengi.  They told us it was the only way to deal with the Federation.  They call it the Rules of Acquisition.

Lt. Peters
::Works a scotty like miracle and gives more power to strablisers::

Lt. Praxton
::sadly covers one crewmember with sheet, as she was so far gone as to be healed::

Cmdr. Richter III
Peters: more power to stabalisers

Ens. Pang
XO:: beaming up now ....

Garan
@::::Screen collapses on top of  Garan ::

LtJG. Tharrn
@Grenail: Fast! Get out of here!

Lt. Peters
::Checks transporter systems for malfunction::
