XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*All*: All Senior Staff, report to the Main Briefing Room for a briefing on the Deja'Wu.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Commander, I must say I am certainly pleased with the way you handled the First Contact with the Germanium -based race.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Steps into the briefing room and nods to everyone already there.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::gets up from desk and makes way out of room to nearby turbolift::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Thank you, Sir. It was... well, an experience.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::looks up from her notes as she hears the announcement and closes the file she was working on before heading out for the briefing::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Indeed.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Ensign. ::nods::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: And truthfully, I'm not sure I want to experience it again.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::can't help the feeling he's done something like this before::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::enters turbolift:: Computer: Main Briefing Room
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Takes a seat at the table and leans back in his chair.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (TurboLift.wav)
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: The bad news for you, is that that is bound to happen again during your active service, Commander.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::steps off the lift and make her way to the Briefing Room::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Ensign, any news on the Deja'Wu vessel ETA?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sit in a chair and patiently wait ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow but does not reply to the Station Commander's comment::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives quickly to the deck where the Main Briefing Room is and disembarks from the turbolift::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Six hours, sir.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Acknowledged.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives to the Briefing Room and the doors part::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (Door Open & Close.wav)
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Commander. ::nods::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::enters the Briefing Room and finds an empty seat and gets settled::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up as the XO enters:: XO: Sir... ::Nods::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Counselor.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CNS::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Enter the Briefing Room::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Chief... good job on the away mission.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CMO:: CMO: Doctor..
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CTO: Commander.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs a PADD and type something very quickly on it::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Thank you, Sir, but as I indicated in my report, Dr. Turok and the two engineers were of great assistance.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods in return greeting:: SC: Captain
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CTO: Commander
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: There's enough kudos to pass around on this one....
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Agreed, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::thinks to self - and, you managed not to shoot anything::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: As you already know, Starfleet Command has asked us to be host of one important diplomatic meeting... once again.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::makes way to his traditional seat in the room::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks to the head of the table at the SC, listening::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: This time, the Deja'Wu delegation it's on its way in order to meet here the Federation diplomats. The main topic of the conference is whether or not the Federation is going to accept the Deja'Wu as a member.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::listens trying to absorb what is being said about the delegation that they are to receive::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: They have only achieved Warp capability ten years ago. The only reason that allows this meeting to happen is their strategic location in the sector, and their enormous reserves of Nitrium.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I have been authorized to inform you, that Starfleet Intelligence has many elements to think that the Cardassians also has similar interest in their Nitrium.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: So, it is highly probable that their Intelligence Operatives can attempt something bold regarding the Conference.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Picks up the PADD from the tabletop and gets ready to give a security briefing::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Frowns at the thought of Cardassians.::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: And we do not want that, what happened during the conference with the Secondan, happens again. And please, avoid any funny remarks about the Deja'Wu’s name... ::attempts a smile::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Coughs to hide a laugh.::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: We still have 6 hours before they arrive, so if you have any suggestions to improve our security, now it would be the time to speak it up.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises hand::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Commander?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Stands and moves to the wall display and taps a few buttons, bringing up an image of the delegation meeting room:: All: All Federation diplomats will be assigned a two person security team on rotating 8 hour shifts.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns to the screen::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
All: The delegation conference room will be guarded throughout the process.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
All: Extra security teams will be stationed in all sensitive areas of the station.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks to the image on the display:: All: Security teams will be posted outside the two entrances to the meeting room, here... ::Points:: and here.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Very well, Commander. Please to coordinate with Engineering to make a full diagnostic of our security sensor grid in the area.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods and takes her seat::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I would like you to have the Scorpius on a random pattern patrol, like the one you mention a couple a days ago.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: The Scorpius is powered up and ready to leave
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Very well.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CNS: You will assist me with the protocol. You know I am not very good with such aspects.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Gotta admit, I have to look some things up too
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: I'll do all that I can to help
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Please, I have to send you a full report regarding the Deja'Wu physiology. Please, see to familiarize with it. We better be prepared, just in case.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Aye sir.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Ensign, see to have a clear way for the dignitaries ship. Remember, they are not quite skilled, in fact they are some sort of a rookie concerning the warp flight, and they certainly do not know our flying protocols very well.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well, now the most interesting part.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Aye, sir. I'll get them to where they're going. I'd love to fly that ship myself just to see what they're flyin'...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Do we know how many quarters we'll be needing?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, I believe OPS has all that taken care of.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: ::looks at the PADD:: err... According to the delegation manifest, they are 14 delegates.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Great, just do me a favor, since OPS isn't here, make sure they've got things covered, as you also need to make sure appropriate security and safety measures are all in place
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: But what should worry us the most, is the fact that several internal factions, mainly conservative, do not look with good eyes this conference, nor the possibility of Deja'Wu becoming a member of the Federation.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Got it, we'll make sure they're taken care of
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: And we know that contact with Cardassians to get some sort of support could have been made. Starfleet has turned very suspicious in whatever concerns the Cardassian issue.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CMO: Doc, are you up on any medical needs they may have?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: I'll check with some of my contacts and find out if they've heard anything.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
XO: I need to study up a bit more but I think I should be able to handle most common situations that might arise.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO:: nods::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: As well they should be, Sir.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<ACTION> An almost imperceptible light flickering takes place
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up as the lights flicker:: All: What's going on?
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Relief OPS*: We have experimented a minor flickering. What is going on with the power grid?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Raises an eyebrow and looks at the nearest light source.::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<Relief OPS> *SC*: A minor fluctuation, Sir. Engineering reports that they are taking care of it right now.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to the SC to see his face covered by a big dot where the rods in his eyes are fatigued from the light.::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well, before we call this over, one final issue.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Relief OPS*: Very well, keep me updated.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Tapping notes on her PADD::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CMO: Great, let me know if you run into anything I can help you with.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
XO: Aye sir.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Admiral Taylor has told me that... to put in simply words... We must not screw it up. Starfleet Command eyes will be focused on this meeting. So please, see your department work at their peak of efficiency.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the SC::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well if you do not have any more suggestions...
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<ACTION> Red Alert klaxons sounds
Host SC_Capt_Marek  (Redalert.wav)
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<Relief OPS> *Senior Staff*: Senior Staff Officers report to the Main Operations immediately!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Stands and rushes out to Main Operations and straight to the tactical station. Shoves the relief TO out of the way and looks at the sensor display::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::stands quickly at the sound of the red alert:: Self: Timing...
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: What on Earth? ::stands up and rushes to Main Operations::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::heads to main operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::taps the console boosting the gain on the sensors::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Stands and exits the briefing room::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::follows the rest of the staff into Main Operations::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters Main Operation:: Relief OPS: Report!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Bolts out of his chair, leaving it swiveling in place.::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<Relief OPS> SC: Sir, two Cardassian Galor class ships has cleared the Station outer markers. How they get there without being detected... I do not know!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Confirmed, Sir. I've got them on my sensors.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Raised shield.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: They're on a direct course to the station and their weapons are powered up and ready.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: contact SF and report the situation.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Prepare our weapons.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Shields raised. Powering up all weapons. FCO: Notify all Federation ships in the vicinity that we may need assistance.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Open a Channel.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Hops into the chair at his station a split second after the relief FCO leaves it. Taps furiously on his console.:: CTO: Aye.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Channel open, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::sends a flash message to Starfleet Command about the situation::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
FCO: Clear the area of all civilian vessels and freighters.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, see that the Scorpius leaves dock and gets to a defensive position.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
COM: Galor Ships: This is Captain Marek. State the nature of your intentions!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Captain, which way do you want me to go?
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Remain on the Station, Commander.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<ACTION> no response from the Cardassian ships
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*ACO*: Undock and raise alert to yellow, stay nearby the station and wait for further orders
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Aye, Sir... ::looks to the Scorpius' Commanding Officer with a "your on your own Sir" look::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::finds an empty station and pulls up any information she thinks might be useful::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Captain, I assume you want to take us to Yellow Alert as well?
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: No response. Yellow Alert.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Sir, the ships are coming to a stop approximately 30 kilometers from our location.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (Yellow Alert.wav)
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Try hailing them again.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Locks the phasers on target and waits for the order to fire::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Aye, aye, cap'n. ::Tries again.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: They may be waiting to intercept the Deja'Wu delegation to ensure themselves as the Deja'Wu choice for assistance.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Their weapons are powered up, Sir. I have a phaser lock on one of the two ships.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Be ready to fire.
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
<ACTION> Still no response.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Aye, Sir, standing by.  ::Fingers hover over the "fire" button::
Host SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Inform the Deja'Wu delegates.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Furiously preparing evasive maneuvers and overseeing the movement of the civilian and Federation ships in the area.::
