Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11211.09

Previously on DS-102:

The Albus are standing at station-keeping awaiting the Federation diplomat team's transport onboard their host Albus. The chosen Albus that will act as the ambassador to the Federation is standing by for an invitation to travel to the gathering place of the Federation Council.

Let's find out what will happen next.

CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::In Docking Bay, trying to run through a quick check to make sure the Ambassador has all that will be required.:: All: Do we have a long Range Subspace Transceiver? I know we're trying to get a shuttle craft, but might be good to have a separate one for easier access for the Ambassador. Oh, and a Computer Console might help.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*: Ensign, is everything in order with the shuttle that the Ambassador needs?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::doing quite well at the phaser target range::
CO_YoGhi says:
:: walking around the cargo bay, watching all the crewmen busy ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::wonders why the FCO do not answers::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: There is a console on that wall if you are looking for one; otherwise the Diplomatic team will have access through the shuttle, won't they?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
*SC*: Captain, Sir, err, I apparently didn't get that request, Sir. Errr, I'll look into it right away, Sir.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Yes, but I thought once they settled in, it might help to have a console outside of the shuttle. Maybe a work station or office set up in the Albus rather than having to go to the shuttle. I know, trying to rush long term planning like this never works.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*: Hurry Ensign. And report back as soon as everything is ready. Marek out.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
Self: Oh crap, apparently, I need to do something and do it quick....... Crap!!!!!
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Busy night, eh?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Ah yes, good point.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: But I do know if I was working in a long term assignment like this I would rather have the ability to set up a work station where I wanted. Who knows how close the Albus can put the shuttle to the living area?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
*SC*: Aye Sir, I'm heading back to the Main Shuttle Bay as we speak ::heads out of Target Range, for the nearest turbolift, quickly::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::enters closest lift:: Computer: Main Shuttle Bay, on the double
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Computer> FCO: By your command, Ensign Farman.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
Computer: Contact the "on-duty" flight officer and have him find out what the Ambassador's shuttle requirements are, post haste.
CO_YoGhi says:
SC: I prefer the crew busy, if not they get into troubles :: smiles ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Indeed, we are of the same opinion in that matter, Captain ::nods:: Well, I will go back to check on the Ambassador.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<Computer> FCO: By your command, Ensign Farman.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::thinking the turbolift computer sounds reminiscent of some very old entertainment thing, but can't quite put a finger on it::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Might need a few luxury food items also, the stuff that's hard to Replicate for a special treat now and then.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::suddenly decides to make a better use of his time, instead of wasting it in little pointless talk with an Ambassador::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO/CNS: Commander, Ensign, Can I help you with something?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Sir? I'm not sure, sir. Just trying to anticipate the unexpected needs of a long term assignment on board an alien turned vessel. Tools and comfort items and so forth I'm thinking.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: I'm sure we can manage procure specialty items for the team. 
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<FO Strong> FCO: Ensign, I received a message from the ship's computer to find and prep a shuttle for long-term use? Please confirm?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS/CSO: As I like to say, think logically, but keep an eye on the unexpected. ::nods::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
FO: Confirmed. Make sure it fits the needs of the Ambassador and his team for as long as they need it. Make sure it'll fit in one of those Albus creatures - preferably, something that won't give it gastro-intestinal problems (assuming it has gastro-intestines).
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: Aye Captain. I'm trying to think of what I missed most when I went away to camp, but multiply it out over a several month span. Unfortunately, most of what I missed was possible to make with the Replicator, so drawing a blank on other needs.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
<FO Strong> FCO: Understood. I'll have some idea by the time you get to MSB. Strong out.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
SC: But for other needs, I think a computer console the Ambassador can set up outside the shuttle in a work area, and possibly a long range subspace Transceiver as backup in case the shuttle has an issue.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: I believe that the essentials here would be a replicator, a long range communication system and maybe a backup life support system.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Good idea sir, but could we put a backup life support in their technology, or just add another level of redundancy to the shuttle life support?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/CSO: Indeed. But try to make those extra backup system ... let's say not much notorious. We do not want to upset our friend, after all they will be carrying the staff inside one of the own.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Backup power system and a few hard to replicate spare parts should suffice I guess
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: The shuttle itself is a backup life support and could serve as an office for work
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir, but we aren't sure if the Albus will have a space for the shuttle near where they set up space for the Ambassador to work and live. If they are a bit apart from each other, the Ambassador may want a more mobile supply to set up.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
*SC*: Captain, I'm on my way to the Main Shuttle Bay and the on-duty FO is getting a basic shuttle prepped. He'll need the specific specs for what's needed.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
All: The Albus that has agreed to carry the diplomatic team is somehow adapting his physiology. It is quite possible that he can adapt it to meet the needs of the team. 
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Then I suggest you ask the Albus about that
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*: Ensign, some "little extra" modifications to a couple of the shuttle systems are being discussed right now. ::taps on the wall console:: I am sending some adaption you will have to perform in order to make the shuttle capable of being inside the Albus.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*: ::Taps on the console:: Done. I some minutes we will get back to you.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Yes Sir.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
*SC*: Sir, if you would please send direct to FO Strong, he'll have it set up in a jiff.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Moves to a console and contacts the Albus.:: COM: Albus: This is Ensign Trix of Deep Space 102 with a question about the Ambassador's accommodations. Will he be able to keep his transport vessel near where he stays or should we prepare equipment for a separate work station? We're trying to figure out what will be needed for a long term mission.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::arrives to the Main Shuttle Bay to find a shuttle already pulled from inventory and the flight crews going over it, inside and out.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged. Anyway, just curious... Where were you during the last minutes? ::clears his throat::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
*SC*: Errr, I was at the Target Range Sir, Qualifying for the new phaser rifle model. Proficiency is a requirement for advancement, Sir.....
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*FCO*:: ::frowns:: Never mind, just asking.. Marek out. ::sights and goes back where the rest of the Staff is::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::wonders just how deep the hole is he's gotten himself into this time, then figures, standing around with a misplaced thumb vs. making better use of on-duty time. Hope the right choice was made, but figures, what the heck....::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: You could request to go inside and help set things up.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Gets the response and then walks back to the others.:: CO: Sir, the Albus said that the runabout will be close enough he can use it as an office if he needs. And as I think about it, given their maximum Warp output, even if we do learn the Ambassador needs something additional it won't take long for a starship to rendezvous to deliver it, Sir.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Inside one of those Albus? Then I could... and I could... that would be great, to see a natural field creation like that!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::smiles:: CSO: I thought you would and it would help with planning.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Then I could ask how they see interaction going with beings travelling inside them, working together. Never been part of a 3 stage joining, even if this one would be temporary and far less complete!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: CSO: Excellent
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
Self: Great, don't know what's worse, thinking like biologist or thinking like a social scientist...
