U.S.S. Artemis -  Stardate 9902.05

Host Cheryl says:
Summary:  The AT on Lyraka IV has discovered some interesting things; a holographic image that hints that it was waiting for "their" return, and has purged the planet.  Artifacts have been recovered from the surface, which indicate a big discrepancy in technology from high-tech stuff found in the hologram's chamber.

Host Cheryl says:
Science has discovered, from probes, a civilization on Lyraka V, more in keeping with the level of technology on the surface of Lyraka IV, and the captain has called everyone back to a meeting, to discuss the situation.

CNS_Sodak says:
::Listens::

EO_Peon says:
::sits still and silent::

OPSRegnum says:
::sits quietly and listens to the CO::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : As most of you know by now, I was.. .. unavailable for the last couple of days.. I need you all to make a minor report on what went on down there, and what you have uncovered..

SO-McMer says:
::Trying to look attentive, in spite of the constant distraction of NEEDING to dig into the data from this fascinating system::

Host CO_Tealk says:
CEO : Let's start with you, Mr Ross..

CEO_Ross says:
Sir:  The probe launched towards Lyraka V has picked up some telemetry of possible sentient life there...
.
CEO_Ross says:
....SO MacMer has determined that the life is pre-space explorative we should investigate further with the full sensor suite of the ship..

Host CO_Tealk says:
CEO : And the planet down below?

CEO_Ross says:
>>>OPS has begun a study in the holo record and I am awaiting his briefing on his findings.....

OPSRegnum says:
::hears his name::

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : Mr. Regnum?

CEO_Ross says:
...The planet shows recent, and what I mean recent a few hundred years, that the area where the AT was located was under water, whether this has something to do with the holoimagery is a guess...

OPSRegnum says:
CO: I have watches the recording over once, I have no concrete evidence yet

CIV_Kayan says:
::quietly leans back against the wall::

OPSRegnum says:
CO: Or anything other then our little fear of being "Purged"

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : How about you, Mr. Teasley?

XOBryant says:
OPS:  I don't know about you, Mr Regnum, but I kind of think the fear of being purged is a healthy one.

CSO_Joe says:
CO: In the cavern we saw technology beyond our understanding, Mr. Peon and I tried to figure out it was but everything shut down

Host CO_Tealk says:
CSO : Any idea on how to re-activate it?

CSO_Joe says:
CO: None so far, sir

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Very well.. The question remains.. What do we do now?

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : This planet has nothing else to teach us, and we have gotten enough scans, don't you all think?

OPSRegnum says:
CO: I disagree sir

CSO_Joe says:
CO: We still haven't investigated the 5th planet, sir

CEO_Ross says:
CO:  Sir, I believe that since there is no life here, we should proceed to Lyraka V, ascertain if the warning had anything to do with Lyraka V or it's inhabitants....

XOBryant says:
CO: sir I don't really think that just leaving it sitting there is what space exploration is all about.

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: I recommend caution with the Lyraka V inhabitants

Host CO_Tealk says:
::signals all to quiet down::

CSO_Joe says:
::quiets down::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Mr Regnum? Why do you say that?

CNS_Sodak says:
::Quiets down::

CIV_Kayan says:
::finds herself starting to fidget and stops::

OPSRegnum says:
CO: There is still the matter of the mystery of this world being "purged" that is something that as representatives of the Federation, it is imperative that we find out why it happened, and what we can do about it.

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : I think the answers lie on the other planet.. If they have anything to do with this civilization, they will have some recollection of what happened..

OPSRegnum says:
CO: If the people who "purged" this world still exist, and this world is in federation space, there may be other Federation worlds in danger.

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: I concur with Mr. Regnum

Host CO_Tealk says:
OPS : And since the chamber has been silenced down on Lyraka 4.. What do you intend us to do?

XOBryant says:
CO: Sir if I may?

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO :Yes, Mr. Bryant?

OPSRegnum says:
CO: Well, it is obvious that it is worthless for us all to stay here, what I suggest is a couple of us stay on the planet as you go on to 5.

XOBryant says:
All: doesn't it make sense that if there was a civilization on the planet somewhere that there has to be evidence of it?

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Mr. Regnum.. I think you have made a good suggestion..

XOBryant says:
CO: why couldn't we send teams to all of the planets to see what kind of information that they could gather while sending another team down to see if they could gather further evidence from the source?

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods at the XO::

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: The answers, in my opinion, to who or what purged the planet below are on the fifth planet

Host CO_Tealk says:
::turns to Kayan:: CIV :Miss Bryn? What can you tell us of the objects you found down there?

XOBryant says:
CO: Even if the key is to be found elsewhere in the system, the puzzle is still right here.

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Agreed, Number one..

OPSRegnum says:
::agrees with the XO::

OPSRegnum says:
CO: If I may sir, I'd like to remain here in the chamber when you go on to the 5th planet

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks up surprised::  CO: ahh... The evidence points to a civilization that had yet to reach space.  Also that they have been gone for approximately 400 years.

Host CO_Tealk says:
CIV : Have you been able to look at the data coming from Lyraka V? Could it be the same civilization?

XOBryant says:
Civ: so you would say that whatever made the chamber was far in advance of the society that you found the remnants of?

EO_Peon says:
::feels the sensation to speak but holds back::

CIV_Kayan says:
CO:  No sir, I have not.

OPSRegnum says:
::notices that Mr. Peon is a little antsy::

SO-McMer says:
::Pulls up relevant entries in data pad and hand to CIV::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::loosat Mr. Teasley:: CSO : Please provide Miss Bryn with all the data..

CIV_Kayan says:
XO:  yes sir.  Who ever made the chamber had knowledge beyond what we have discovered.

Host CO_Tealk says:
EO : Yes? Mr. PEon.. You have something to say?

CSO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir ::hands data to the CIV::

CIV_Kayan says:
::takes the Padd and looks it over::

EO_Peon says:
CO:Yes,sir

Host CO_Tealk says:
::Waits::

OPSRegnum says:
::waits for whatever Tom has to say::

CIV_Kayan says:
::takes a deep breath::  CO:  OK, from what is showing here, it is possible that the two are one and the same.  The civilization, that is, not the builders of the chamber.

Host CO_Tealk says:
::motion Kayan to shush, since Thomas should be saying something right about now::

EO_Peon says:
CO: I have a theory on how that alien race might have been purged..

CNS_Sodak says:
::Listens to EO::

Host CO_Tealk says:
EO : Let's hear it.. But.. Which alien race was purged? I though the planet was the one who had been purged?

Host CO_Tealk says:
::looks around::

EO_Peon says:
CO: I think the technology that we found belonged to another species trying to colonized the planet....

Host CO_Tealk says:
EO : Then why the warning sent? And where is this race if it was their intent to colonize?

EO_Peon says:
CO: if there ever was a civilization ever living there they may have wanted to purge it of them.

XOBryant says:
CO: could it be sir that they had to have a new home and it was the only way that they could find one was to take one?  And what they couldn't relocate they "purged"?

CNS_Sodak says:
CO/EO: Perhaps the race died out.....

Host CO_Tealk says:
All :. And how do you explain the warning signal?

Host CO_Tealk says:
all : What was it's purpose?

XOBryant says:
CO: sir are we positive that it was a warning?

EO_Peon says:
CO: The warning sent may have been sent because of something gone wrong.

Host CO_Tealk says:
EO : Do you have any evidence to support that theory?

CIV_Kayan says:
::has an idea, but holds her tongue::

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: THe Hologram welcomed us, perhaps it thought we were that race.

Host CO_Tealk says:
::ndods::

EO_Peon says:
CO: The evidence that the CIV found.

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : I'm not saying there was no civilization here before, and that it just disappeared somehow..

XOBryant says:
CO: sir what if that warning was because whoever cleaned this place out didn't want to have to do it again?

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : But.. The similarities between the artifact found here and on Lyraka V suggests these two civilizations may be linked.. Or even something else.. One and the same..

CEO_Ross says:
CO:  Sir, all of this theory is wonderful, we have the capability of finding out all that needs to be discovered on Lyraka V, once we have that baseline data, we then can relate it to Lyraka IV...

CIV_Kayan says:
::starts to fidget again::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods at his CEO:: All : I agree wit the chief..

CSO_Joe says:
CIV: Something wrong?

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : We need more data..

XOBryant says:
:::Looks annoyed at the Civilian and wonders what a female civilian is doing on a ship of the line in the middle of a war::::CIV: yes miss kayan, why don't you share with us?

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : The Artemis is going to go to Lyraka V. leaving a team behind..

CIV_Kayan says:
::Looks at CSO::  CSO:  ahh..  just an idea sir

SO-McMer says:
CO: SIR!

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks annoyed back at XO::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::looks at the XO and casts him a stern look::

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Yes, Mr. McMer?

XOBryant says:
::::Looks sheepish at the CO:::::

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks at the captain for permission to speak::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods at the CIV::

SO-McMer says:
CO: Sir, I'd like to remind everyone that the group on Lyraka 5 APPEARS to be pre-space... but we don't really know that.

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : That's why we need to go and fin out more about them..

CIV_Kayan says:
CO: well...  would it be possible, that for some reason the people of this world could not live here.  Another race discovered this and transplanted them.

XOBryant says:
Civ: like something environmental?

FCO_Vrayl says:
::ponders the ongoing discussion::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::lsitens::

SO-McMer says:
CO: Yes, Sir, however we need to be cautious. If they are pre-space then showing up there could violate the prime directive.

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : I'm fully aware of the prime directive, Mr McMer.. And i know the precautions we would need to take..

SO-McMer says:
CO: They may have an unanticipated way of detecting us.

CIV_Kayan says:
XO:  that is possible.  The people themselves might have created something also, that would need time to heal.

Host CO_Tealk says:
::frowns:: SO : But we nee to find out more about what happened here..

EO_Peon says:
::hmm first contact::

XOBryant says:
CIV: like what?

SO-McMer says:
CO: Sir, I am advising going slow. Perhaps using the most in stealth and cloaking technology we have available.

Host CO_Tealk says:
SO : Did you read the memo i sent, Mr. McMer? I explicitly stated that in there ::frowns::

EO_Peon says:
::looks a the CO waiting to have the floor::

CIV_Kayan says:
XO:  Sir, I would need to have more information to discover that.  But something biological would need purging and take time.

Host CO_Tealk says:
::hearing the word biological:: All : I thought the planet had been cleared?

XOBryant says:
CIV: Could you perhaps assist the science section in finding out if this hypothesis is viable?

CIV_Kayan says:
XO:  ahhh... I believe so..

SO-McMer says:
::Looking quizzically at the Captain, since I did not receive any memo::

XOBryant says:
CO: I personally don't think that Kayan’s idea holds water, but I don't think that we should just dismiss it, and it does explain some things that are bothering me.

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks exasperated at the XO, it was just an idea::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Ok..

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : I think we have a course of action..

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Any volunteers to stay behind?

EO_Peon says:
CO:me,sir

Host CO_Tealk says:
::nods::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All :Anyone else?

FCO_Vrayl says:
::considers the possibility, decides his place is on the Artemis::

OPSRegnum says:
CO: I wish to stay behind

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : I need someone to watch this AT. Mr. Bryant, since you seemed to want to investigate further, you'll have your chance..

CIV_Kayan says:
::notes XO will be staying and sighs with relief::

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: Sir, you may need me on Lyraka 5

XOBryant says:
:::grinning:::CO: Like there was ever any doubt in my mind sir.

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : You will take a shuttle down.. Just in case..

XOBryant says:
CO: Aye sir

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Very well. That's it.. XO : Prepare your AT and get on the way..

Host CO_Tealk says:
::gets up::

CEO_Ross says:
::Stands::

CSO_Joe says:
::stands up::

XOBryant says:
OPS: if you would be so kind as to make sure that a shuttle is prepared and we are able to depart in 10 minutes?

SO-McMer says:
::Stands::

CIV_Kayan says:
::watches to see what everyone will do next::

OPSRegnum says:
XO: Aye sir.

EO_Peon says:
::Gets up::

CNS_Sodak says:
::Stands::

OPSRegnum says:
All: If you will excuse me

SO-McMer says:
::Motions to Civ to stand::

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Before you go, i need to speak to you in private.. Please stay on a while longer..

FCO_Vrayl says:
::still standing::

Host CO_Tealk says:
All : Dismissed..

OPSRegnum says:
::nods to the Captain and then leaves the room::

CSO_Joe says:
::leaves the briefing room::

EO_Peon says:
::goes to get extra supplies he will need.::

XOBryant says:
:::keeps his seat and watches the others file out::::

OPSRegnum says:
::heads for the main ShuttleBay::

CNS_Sodak says:
::Leaves briefing room::

CIV_Kayan says:
::quietly heads out::

CEO_Ross says:
::Departs the BR to the Main Engineering Deck::

SO-McMer says:
::Exit briefing room::

FCO_Vrayl says:
::exits briefing room::

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : DO you have any problems with Miss Bryn , Mr Bryant?

Host CO_Tealk says:
::After all the rest of the crew left::

CIV_Kayan says:
::looks around wondering what she is supposed to do next::

EO_Peon says:
::Gets supplies & equipment for the planet:::

XOBryant says:
CO: no sir, I just am not all that crazy about having a civilian on a starship in the middle of a war.

SO-McMer says:
::Notices CIV stopping in hall way:: CIV: Something I can do for you Miss?

XOBryant says:
CO: and I guess that maybe when she is around I just get a little distracted or something.

OPSRegnum says:
::Enters the Shuttlebay and starts packing a shuttle::

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : Now, now, Mr. Bryant.. You can't pre-judge anyone.. She seems to have done a good jb sdonw on the planet..

EO_Peon says:
::heads for the shuttle bay::

CIV_Kayan says:
::shrugs her shoulders::  SO:  I'm just not certain what I am supposed to do next

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : She's not really sure she wants to be here either, and you acting like that does not help..

EO_Peon says:
::dragging his stuff along with him::

Host CO_Tealk says:
XO : We need to keep an open mind..

SO-McMer says:
CIV: Well, I would suggest that I show you where the Science Lab is, and then we can review some of the data that has been collected.

EO_Peon says:
::enters the shuttle bay::

XOBryant says:
CO: I am sorry sir I guess that I just let my irritation get the best of me, not all of us are trained to rain in out emotions all the time.

CIV_Kayan says:
SO:  great; that works for me.

CEO_Ross says:
::Enters the Main Engineering Deck, and stops and takes in the Engineering Deck, it had been three days since being in ME, begins reading the displays and console readouts, all in order, Readying the ship for departure::

SO-McMer says:
::Courteously showing his fellow crew member to the Science Lab::

Host CO_Tealk says:
::smiles:: XO :I may be half- vulcan, but i have as much control of my emotions as a human..

Host CO_Tealk says:
::simleS::

XOBryant says:
::;grins at the CO::: CO: Yes sir, I will try harder in the future.
