Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
Captain's log, Stardate 10501.19 - We are about to enter the Delana star system, on our way to attending a royal wedding ceremony.  Over the past two days, the crew and myself have tried to get ourselves accustomed to their customs.  We will soon find out how successful we have been in that.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Sitting in his ready room, still reading the data they have on the Delanans.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::At bridge, minding his console.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::On bridge at station.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::On the bridge, checking for comm signals and requests from within the ship.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  The USS Artemis reaches Delana's outer system.

CIV_Turner says:
::Running diagnostics on the tactical systems on the bridge.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Arrives at the bridge for the first time and looks around.::  Self:  Exactly as I expected it.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Takes initial sensor scans of the planet.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Looks at the view screen as the planet appears on screen and sits in her chair.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Takes a sip from his, meanwhile cold, tea, while scrolling down a bit to continue reading.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Receives a message.::  *CO*:  Sir, we have a signal from Delana.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
*CO*:  Captain, sensor scans show no variations in computer data.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks up from his padd and taps his combadge.::  *OPS*:  Understood, I'm on my way out. ::Gets up and heads for the exit.::

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  Artemis:  Unidentified vessel, this is Delanan Space Control, please respond.

FCO_Slow says:
::Checks to make sure they really are in Delana space.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Sets for the message to be relayed and repeated on speakers when the Captain appears on the bridge.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::As they arrive in the outer system he immediately picks up a lot of traffic and looks at the captain.::  CO:  Sir, it appears to busy around here.  It varies from a few Federation vessels and a lot of Delanans ships.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Steps onto the bridge, just in time to catch the CSO's line.::  CSO:  Very good. ::Turns to the view screen, as OPS already put the comm on there.::  COM:  Delanan Control:  Delanan Space Control, this is the USS Artemis.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  The screen lights up with a medium build Delanan, with a goatee.

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  Artemis:  Ahh, USS Artemis.  Good, good, we were expecting you.  ::Smiles.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Looks up as the view screen changes.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  To everyone on the bridge, the third eye on the forehead seems very.. well.. Alien.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Works on clearing through some of the chatter.::  CO:  Subspace communications is quite active, Sir.  A good number of ships are in this area.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Smiles, nodding at the view screen.::  COM:  DC:  A pleasure we're here, Sir.  Do you have any instructions for us on where to take orbit or dock?

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Looks up at the screen.::  Self:  Well, this should be interesting.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Sees the third eye on the alien.  Wonders what the third eye is for.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Looks with much interest at the third eye.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances to the CTO, then to OPS.::  CTO/OPS:  The amount of traffic was to be expected, after all, there is a wedding planned for tomorrow. ::Smiles.::

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  Artemis:  As a matter a fact, we do.  As you can see, we have a lot of traffic.  And unusually high, due to the festivities.  We'll be sending you a detailed flight plan, and your allowed orbit pattern as well.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Looks at CTO, and whispers.::  CTO:  I've heard of four-eyes, but never three-eyes.  ::Giggles.::

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  Artemis:  Please stick to it.  We don't want any problems.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Remains quiet in her seat.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Sets up a delay for any comms not directed to the ship or using the ship's name.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Tries to suppress a burst of laughter and whispers.::  CSO:  Imagine one of them with glasses.  ::And returns his focus on the console.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods::  COM:  DC:  I will see to it that the plan will be followed precisely.  If there are no further instructions at this time, I would like to commence our entry towards the planet.

FCO Slow says:
::Looks at all the ship and starts searching for a way through.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Chuckles to herself at the CTO's response, trying to envision a three-eyed pair of glasses.::

Delanan Control says:
@::Nods.::  COM:  Artemis:  No, oh wait.  ::He seems to look at something outside of camera.::  You are cordially invited to meet the Buial as soon as you enter orbit.  He is very eager to meet with you.

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  Artemis:  You'll be receiving coordinates for transport as soon as you enter orbit.  ::Smiles.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods::  COM:  DC:  We would be honored.  Thank you.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Checks navigational sensors to ensure they are working correctly.::

Delanan Control says:
@COM:  USS Artemis:  Have a nice day.  ::Cuts the comm.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Sits back as the comm is cut.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  The spectacle on the sensors is amazing.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns around and walks over to the tactical station.::  CTO:  Ensign, I assume you have performed the system scan I ordered.  What result did you get, other than the busy traffic?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  Even if the bigger ships are federation freighters, a lot of smaller diplomatic ships from several dozen species populate the orbits above Delana IV.

FCO Slow says:
::Double checks the flight plan.::  CO:  The flight plan looks sound, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Watches the ships in the view screen.::  CO:  It's going to be a big party.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Nods at the captain and quickly checks his readings.::  CO:  The scans reveal several small space stations and a small moon with an abandoned structure orbiting Delana IV.  Besides us, the only armed ships are what appear to be Delanan fighters and a capital ship.  They're armed to the teeth, Sir.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Continues checking the comms.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Looks at the view screen, wondering how many people are going to be coming.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  Several ships pass by the Artemis.  Not close enough to trip any alarms, but close enough to see the people inside through the view ports.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Gets up and heads for Turner's console.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CTO:  Must be security enforcement for the wedding.  To what force does it compare, Ensign?

CIV_Turner says:
::Finishes his diagnostics and makes a list of adjustments he would like to see, then sends them to the CTO and CEO.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CIV:  Hello, Captain.  I've been trying to talk to you, but you remain elusive.

FCO Slow says:
::Lays in the course and waits for the CO's okay to engage.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  A defense force I'm sure.  But are they expecting difficulties to mobilize such a force?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods at the helm.::  FCO:  Engage our approach when ready.

CIV_Turner says:
CNS:  Yeah, just trying to keep busy.  Haven't been trying to avoid you though.  ::Looks back at his PADD.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Checks his console again.::  CO:  The capital ship might be considered equivalent to our Federation Galaxy Class, Sir.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  The Artemis assigned path stays free of any other ships as she maneuvers deeper into the system.

FCO Slow says:
::Engages and moves the ship very carefully.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  And the smaller craft?

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Smiles.::  CIV:  I would never imply that.  In any event, I would very much like to have a talk with you.  After reading your record, perhaps during the wedding ceremony?

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Checks short-range and long-range sensors.  Everything appears to be normal.::

FCO Slow says:
::Double checks his figures.::  CO:  Um, 10 minutes until we reach orbit, Sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Glances at the science station.::  CSO:  Ensign, run a scan of the planet itself.  Report any anomalous readings.  FCO:  Very good, keep us going, we have until tomorrow to get there.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Double checks his console again.::  CO:  The most heavily armed smaller craft would be equivalent to our class 6 shuttles.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Pulls up a strange power signature on scanners.::  CO:  Captain, I am picking up a strange power signature on long range scanners from an abandoned outpost on the moon; faint, but nevertheless . there.

CIV_Turner says:
CNS:  And why would you want to do that?  ::Taps the PADD to look at something else.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Expands long-range sensors to see if she can detect what the source of the power signature is.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  Shouldn't be much of a security threat.  ::Turns to the CSO and heads over to her station.::  CSO:  Elaborate on that, please? Guess if you have to.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CIV:  We will talk later, now you have work to do.  ::Smiles and walks away, back to the central bridge area.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Keeps listening to the multiple conversations going on.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
CO:  Expanding long-range sensors, Sir.  Scans indicate an old colony generator .. that is powered down to idle, Sir.

CIV_Turner says:
CNS:  All right, Counselor.  ::Turns back to a tac console.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Continues scanning the system.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  As the Artemis closes the planet, the space lanes become busier.  The Proximity alarm actually goes off, but only for a few seconds.

FCO Slow says:
CO:  We're about to enter orbit, Sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  CSO:  Very good.  Try and get the resolution up a bit.  ::Looks around.::  Self:  If only we had an engineer around.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

FCO Slow says:
Self:  All right, stay in your own lanes.  I'm flying here.  ::Grumbles.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
FCO:  Very well, take us in.  ::Glances at the view screen.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
CO:  We have a transmission from the planet, Sir.  It's the transport coordinates.

EO Falco says:
::Stumbles onto the bridge.::  Self:  Oops, this isn't engineering.  ::And turns around again.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  The Artemis achieves orbit.  The orbit paths are fairly full of ships.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Works with the sensor arrays to try to focus on the power signature.  Also runs navigational sensor diagnostics to verify proper functioning.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
OPS:  Very well, acknowledge them.  Tell them we'll be down in about half an hour.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Sends the acknowledgement and a 30 minute time estimate back to the planet.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
CO:  Message sent.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Hears the TL open.::  EO: Hey, crewman!  Wait a moment!  ::Steps over to the engineer.::  Self:  Is that coincidence or what?

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Remains watching the view screen as more ships come and go.::

EO Falco says:
::Hears the CO and turns around quickly, facing the captain.::  CO:  Euh, me, Sir?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
EO:  Say, could you take a look at this and make a rough estimate for me?  How much power output do you think this generator will have while running idle?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION:  Delanan acknowledges the reply, but mentions that the Buial is a very busy person, and might not be available in 30 minutes.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Continues to scan the planet.::  CO: Captain, nothing new on sensors, aside from the usual Dilithium mines which may be clouding our sensor arrays.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
CO:  Sir, we've received a reply stating that Buial may not be available in 30 minutes.  I believe they want you to transport immediately.

EO Falco says:
::Walks over the captain.::  CO:  I'll get right on it, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CSO:  Is it so strange to leave an abandoned power generator behind?

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  CSO:  All right, keep the sensors running.  We have something to do.  ::Turns to OPS.::  OPS:  All right, tell them we'll be there in 10.. Tell them we have some difficulties with the transporter buffer circuits.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Nods to the CO and sends back a message explaining the delay and the 10 minute ETA.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
CNS:  It is just powered down.  I prefer to use precaution, if you know what I mean.  ::Winks.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CSO:  And precautions are always advisable indeed.  But the generator might simply have been left there till it's needed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Walks over to his chair and presses a key.::  *Senior staff*:  Attention all senior staff, report to Transporter Room 2, full dress uniforms.

EO Falco says:
CO:  Captain, the generator is a low power one.  Probably enough to run a small colony.  Roughly the equivalent of 1/10th of our warp core.  On idle it just has enough power to run some emergency lights.

CIV_Turner says:
::Continues to fiddle with tactical panel making some more adjustments.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
CO:  The planet has acknowledged, Sir, but they've made it clear that Buial may not be available if transport is delayed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Nods.::  EO:  Thank you, crewman.  You may report back to your post now.  ::Gives the EO a brief nod.::

EO Falco says:
::Feeling very helpful he replies with a big smile.::  CO:  Thank you, Sir.  Glad to be of help.  ::And heads off.::

CIV_Turner says:
Self:  Hmm, the power output to those phasers should be more than that.

CIV_Turner says:
::Taps his PADD and then the console to check a few more things.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
All:  All right everyone, no time to waste here.  Anyone not in the transporter room in ten minutes will not be going to the planet this time.  ::With that, he heads for the TL and orders it to the crew quarters. He holds it to allow others to join him in the TL cabin.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::As everyone rushes off the bridge she does the same.  Soon she is in her quarters.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Leaves his console and quickly heads towards the TL::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Takes a look at the nicely arranged uniform on her bed and quickly changes.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Hears the comm and turns the science station over to the SO.  Heads to her quarters to change quickly to full-dress.  Enters the TL and orders it to her quarters.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Looks in the mirror adjusting her white coat and blue shirt.  Then patiently arranges her blonde curly hair in some fancy manner.::

CIV_Turner says:
::Adjusts the energy emitters that route to the phasers.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::As most are on the TL and the cabin fills up, he releases the door and let sit close.  A few moments later, the TL stops at their destination, and he exits, taking a left turn to his quarters.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Hops into the lift after leaving the console to the beta shift replacement.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Enters her quarters, pulls out her uniform and quickly changes.  Stops in front of the mirror.::  Self:  Ugh!  There's a piece of hair standing up!  ::Grabs some water and pats it down.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Finally exits her quarters and heads for the nearest TL.::  Computer:  Transporter room 2.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Waits as the TL starts moving.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Takes a last look in the mirror, satisfied, and heads to the TL, ordering it to Transporter Room 2.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Arrives there and waits for the others.::

CTO_Ens_Tanner says:
::Walks over to his cabin and quickly changes into his pearly white suit, which he already prepared right before his shift started.::  Self:  My, my, looking sharp in this outfit.  ::And straightens his uniform a little before heading off to the transporter room.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Runs to her quarters and changes quickly.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Enters his quarters and quickly heads for the closet, pulling out his dress whites, along with the cases with his decorations.  In a few minutes time, he is changed from duty uniform to full dress, including the small ribbons on his chest.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Enters the Transporter Room 2, busting through the doors, and bumps into the CNS, almost knocking her over.::  CNS:  Oh, sorry.

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Enters the transporter room, fastening her uniform.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Exits his quarters, but not before making sure everything is set.  Once he's certain, he heads over to the TL and orders it to the transporter room's deck.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Steps aside as the CSO enters in a hurry.::  CSO:  That is okay, I am just glad you are not our pilot.  ::Smiles.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Giggles.::  CNS:  I get all excited about away missions, I tend to get a little clumsy.

CTO_Ens_Tanner says: 
::Enters the transporter room and sees all the fancy white uniforms.  It takes him a few seconds to adjust to all the bright white and walks over to the CSO.::  CSO: Well?  Ready to find out if there are glasses for triple-eyed people?

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
CTO:  If not I'm sure my science department can replicate them a pair of special glasses.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Walks into the TR and looks around to see who is present.::  All:  Good, I see you were all quicker than me.  ::Smiles.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CSO:  It's probably going to be rather boring really.  I used to attend a lot of these some time ago.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
All:  We'll give the others another two minutes to join us, then we beam down..

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CO:  Any special recommendations, Sir?

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Waits patiently for the transport, trying hard not to bump into anyone else.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
CNS:  Be polite, at any time.  ::Chuckles.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Exits TL fixing his uniform and still rubbing his eyes, heading toward TR2.::

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Whispers.::  CNS:  And when we get on the transporter pad, please keep all arms and legs inside the transporter beam at all times.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
CO:  That should be easy, I think.  ::Smiles and takes her position in the transporter pad.::

FCO_Ens_Seifer says:
::Enters TR2 still kinda sleepy but ready for mission.::

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
::Can't help but laugh out loud at the CSO.::  CSO:  Will do my best.  I wouldn't want to leave any limbs in orbit.

CSO_Ens_T`Lena says:
::Stands on the transporter pad waiting for beam-down.::

OPS_Lt_Raincloud says:
::Steps onto the back of the transporter pad and waits silently.::

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Steps onto the transporter padd, just as Lionheart enters the TR.::  FCO:  Glad you could make it Mister Lionheart.  All:  Prepare for transporter.

Host CO_Cmdr_Jackson says:
::Turns to the TR Chief.::  TR_Chief:  Beam us to the pre-set coordinates.  Energize.

Host Buial_Kal says:
ACTION:  The transporter operator nods, and the crew turn to shimmering lights.

CNS_Ens_Gail says:
:::Fades out of existence.::
