 Summary: The away team from the Delphyne has nearly completed hull repairs to the downed freighter Lady Jane.  They have reestablished life support, and the ship's atmosphere is slowly returning to non-lethal levels.  Meanwhile, the FCO and CEO have discovered a small mystery...andher dog.

Brett:
 <<<<Resume Mission -"Lady Jane - Part 4">>>>

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Listens intently to the Away Team's open channel(s). ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::keeps watching the long range sensors from time to time, listening to the AT's chatter::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::looks at the girl, then back at the Captain of the Lady Jane:: Dubois: Nothing in here, huh?

Brett:
 @<Dubois> Girl: What are you doing here?  ::Sounds incredulous::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::is burning a hole through Dubois with his stare::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Noone in here eh?

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Giggles as the dog tugs on her trouser leg::  All: Simon ran out before the doors were closed, I went after him.  We've been playing in here.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Looks at the two Officers::  All: You have to believe me!  I didn't know she was here!

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: She belong to any of your crew?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois/FCO: Perhaps we should just let remain here until the repairs are complete.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: No!  She's one of the refugees.  Her and her mother.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Steps a little off to the side.:: *Repair Crews*: Status report guys.

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Stands up and looks at the officers::  CEO/FCO: Are you going to take us home?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::crouches down and looks at the girl:: Girl: And where would home be?

Brett:
 @<Crew> *CEO*: Five minutes chief.  You can start preflight, check the hull integrity.  We're wrapping up.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Were there children on the passenger list?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::looks up the roster::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Crew*: Wonderful.

Brett:
 @<Girl> FCO: In Merick City.  ::Giggles and moves away to play with the dog which scurries around her, illiciting more giggles::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: The list of the refugees is pretty minimal as it was taken quickly as the Gorn were attacking.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::stands up and looks at Dubois:: Dubois: Is her mother still on board?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: But yes... there are children listed.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Do you have a control panel in here? We can start getting ready to liftoff... have you crew perform  a thorough pre-flight check and let me see the hull integrity report.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: Yes.  She's with the others in the cargo bay.  I don't know how she ::Points at the girl::  got out before we sealed the doors.

Brett:
 @Dubois> CEO: We'll have to go to the flight deck.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Well then, I'll just take her and Simon to her mother.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Girl: I think your mother will be worried about you. We should get you back to her.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Thank you. Hopefully we can get an accurate head count once they clear the atmosphere.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: And I'll have Dubois take me to the flight deck.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO/FCO: Wait!  You can't open the doors!  The atmosphere inhere is still toxic; we didn't have enough breathers for all of them so we sealed the bay with a portable atmosphere processor inside.  As long as the bay maintains integrity, they will be fine.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: How long before the atmosphere normalizes?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Taps a few commands into his tricorder:: FCO: Looks like... about an hour, give or take.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO/FCO: Maybe she ought to stay in here.  With the door sealed it will normalize faster than the rest of the ship.  ::Looks at the CEO:: Right?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois/CEO: Someone will have to watch her. I'll stay with her.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Agreed... Dubois?

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Looks petulant, her antennae wave angrily::  FCO: I am NOT a baby.  I don't need a babysitter!

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Girl: No you aren't, but it's not safe for you to be alone right now.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Covers a smirk with one hand, clearly able to picture the angry Andorian girl. ::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: The other cargo bay... what's going on with that one?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::manages to keep her smirk inside, though she too can picture the andorian easily::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO/FCO: Look, The atmosphere is bad.  I don't know if I can actually get us out of here.  This tub isn't made for atmo flying.  Maybe your pilot here should take her out...I'll watch the kid.  ::Looks unhappy at the thought::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Self: Ugh... we don't need this.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO It was loaded with farm equipment, some supplies and stuff for the colonists on Merick.  We didn't have time to dump it when we ran.  I think we took a hit in there, but no one is there so it doesn't matter.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Think there's room for two Workbees in there?... they took a beating getting down here, I'd rather not risk them again.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Captain, it looks like I'm going to have to fly the Lady Jane off this rock.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Umm, well, I don't know...I mean, we migth have to unload some cargo first...and that will come out of my pay right?  And the colonists will need that stuff when they go back after the war..

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO*: Understood, ensign. Is there anything we can provide you?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: Maybe you should have a look and see if there is enough space.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO/FCO: I really don't think there is fellahs.  I mean, I loaded it right?  So I should know.  ::Looks a touch nervous::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Yeah I could take a look... let's do that on the way to the Flight deck.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: We might need the tractor beam to get this ship out of the atmosphere. So, I'll need to know how close I need to get.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Is there a problem with having a look sir?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Yeah but if the roof has any room I can have them maglock to that surface.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Can you determine how far into the planet's atmostphere we can use our tractor beam?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::double checks the specs on the beam and tries to calculate a good estimate::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: Um, no...no go ahead.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @CEO: You go ahead and take a look, I'll head up to flight.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @FCO: Alright.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO*: Lt Rhykmal is working on that estimate now.  Go ahead and familiarize yourself with the Lady Jane's flight operations.

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Waves::  Bye.  ::Smiles cheerfully::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Understood sir.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: You'll be here with the kid right?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::waves to the little girl::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: If we route enough power through the tractor beam... which I do believe we can, we should be able to assist the Lady Jane through the worst of the atmosphere.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::heads to the bridge::

Brett:
 @<Crew> *CEO*: Repairs complete sir.  It'll do for now but she really needs a yard.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Very good. Coordinate that.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> CEO: Yeah yeah.  ::Sighs::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods:: CO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::gets ready to power up the tractor beam to full strength and watches the sensors closely::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Crew*: Alright guys prepare for departure, I'm trying to find the bees a place to sit for the ride through the atmosphere.

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: Wait!  I don't want to be here with him!  ::Looks at Dubois with anger::  I wan't to go with you!

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO*: Lt Rhykmal will be operating the tractor beam to assist the Lady Jane as much as possible.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> Girl: Hey, I don't like it either kid but we're sort of stuck with each other.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Aloud: Fine fine fine... ok kid you come with me. ::Fixes the mask on her face::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Dubois: Kindly escort the FCO to the flight deck and make sure this bird is ready to fly.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Thank you sir. I'll be ready to take off momentarily. ::enters the bridge and head to the flight station::

Brett:
 @<Girl>::Sticks her tongue out at Dubois, the mask partially getting in the way:: Before skipping off with the CEO, the dog following::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @All: Let's get going shall we.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Looks at his tricorder to get directions to the other cargo bay::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::begins familiarizing himself with the flight controls::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: Now I'm going to need you to be careful ok... you never know what could happen in times like this.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Sighs and heads to the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Heads toward the cargo bay::

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: I know.  It was very scary when we landed.  The ship rocked, and I thought we were going to crash...

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Are you ready?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods:: CO: Aye. Full power is routed to the tractor beam.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: Good... it's good to know you understand that there is work to be done.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CEO*: Ensign Quinn, are we clear to attempt lift off?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*FCO*: Give me a couple of minutes.

Brett:
 INFO: The CEO looks around the large bay.  While there are several farm machines and boxes of supplies for the colonists, they are just enough to camoflage the crates sprinkled thoughout the pod.  One of which has spilled its lethal contents of aging phaser rifles.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CEO*: No problem, I'm going to run a pre-flight diagnostic to make sure we are good to go.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Starts to inspect the cargo bay::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Getting tricorder readings and the like::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::begins the pre-flight diagnostic::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Be ready.. the communication may fluctuate as they travel through the atmosphere..  you may have to assist with minimal communication.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises eyebrow, uncertain how she'll be able to do all that at once::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Captain, any word on the range of the tractor beam?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Capt... we have a problem. Switching to channel alpha-9.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Arrives onthe flight deck::  FCO: Are we ready?

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: He's a bad man.  ::Looking into the cargo bay::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Almost.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::quickly switches the channel frequency to match the one mentioned by the FCO::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: Sure looks that way.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO*: Lt Rhykmal will be operating the tractor beam. It is ready to go. If we have any communication break-down, she will engage tractor beam as soon as we can.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: I've found weapons grade chemicals in the cargo hold.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CO*: Understood sir, was just wondering how high I'll have to get the ship for the tractor beam in the event its needed.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Picks up one of the phaser rifles that spilled out of the crate and looks at it in disgust::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *FCO*:  Coordinate with Lt Rhykmal, ensign.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Please work with Ensign Salan while I try to figure out the cargo bay situation.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Yes sir. ::was already on it::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: There are also weapons here.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO*: Be on your guard, ensign. Is there any chance of securing them?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 *FCO*: I've estimated that the tractor beam should be able to help the Lady Jane throughthe thickest part of the atmosphere.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO* I could dump them... but secure I don't know.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CSO*: That's what I like to hear, Lt.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Moves so that he can see the door::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO* Can you use the shuttle's transporters to beam them onto the shuttles and out of the cargo bay?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: There's a lot here... I don't think it will all fit on the shuttles.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> FCO: What's the hold up, come on, let's go!

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CSO*: Ok, I'm ready to go, just waiting on word from the CEO.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO*: Get what you can on the shuttle, we'll need them as evidence. Discretely dump the rest.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO* I can pretend that nothing happened and have the FCO lift us off... once we're in orbit you could be security teams to the cargo bay and the bridge.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 *FCO*: I am waiting on you and monitoring your situation closely. You need not worry.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: Captain Dubois, we will leave when I am cleared to.

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Throws up his hands and paces::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: I can't use the transporters, too much interference. The shuttles are also full of engineers and their gear.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CSO*: Lt, as soon as we are within range, lock onto the ship with the tractor beam. I don't want to take any chances of another crash landing with this ship.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *CEO*: Ok, I wasn't sure who was on the Lady Jane and who was on the shuttles. We'll deal with security after you clear the atmosphere.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*CO*: Roger.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CEO*: Are we ready Ensign?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*Workbees*: Maglock yourselves to the hull... you're going to let the Lady Jane pull you through.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::decides that the FCO does not know her and therfore needs another assurance:: *FCO*: Your lift off is the only thing that concerns me. It is all I am waiting for. One you reach the mid-atmosphere... I will be there to catch you. ::she's as reliable and dependable as any Vulcan, surely the Andorian FCO must know this... but plainly he does not::

Brett:
 Action: A few minutes later, the workbees are attached to the freighter's hull and the Starfleet shuttles are prepared to lift.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*FCO*: Yes we are.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: As soon as you're able, after the Lady Jane has acheived a stable orbit, scan the ship. I want to know who's on it and what they're carrying.

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: Are we going home now?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @::Takes up a defensive position to cover the door with his phaser::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @Dubois: We're clear to lift off.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: Yes sir. I will do a complete scan of the vessel and its contents as soon as I can.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::initiates lift off sequence::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: I hope so... see these tractors? Hide behind them there may be mean men coming.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 TO_Dojo: Scramble a security detail. Beam onto the Lady Jane's bridge and cargo pods after they leave the atmosphere, as soon as you can get a clear transport.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Thank you, lieutenant. That's all I ask for. ::smiles::

Brett:
 Action: The freighter lifts off and beings moving upward through the toxic soup.  The ship is ungainly and handles badly, but her mass makes her less susceptible to the winds than the lighter shuttles.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::watches the sensors intently::

Brett:
 @<Girl> CEO: O.k.  Come on Simon, Hide and seek!  ::Runs off giggling with the dog yipping at her heels to dissappear behind the mass of equipment.::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::increases thrust::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 <TO_Dojo>  ::Gets three security teams ready for transport, coordinates with transporter cheif, and is waiting on the transporter pads with phasers drawn. ::

Brett:
 @Action: As the Freighter reaches the upper atmosphere, the turbulence increases.  The ship begins shuddering violently, and a warning alarm alerts the flight deck that the engineering section has again depressurized as the makshift patch is ripped away.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::tries to seal off Engineering from the rest of the ship::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::engages the tractor beam::

Brett:
 @Action: The turbulence increases, and the freighter begins to yaw..but the tractor beam snags it and pulls the ungainly vessel clear of the deadly planet's grip.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::quickly her deft fingers switch over to scan the vessel, keeping it in the beam, not letting it go just yet::

Brett:
 @<Dubois> ::Sighs in relief and walks off the flight deck::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::turns to Dubois:: Dubois: Sir, we are in the clear.

Brett:
 Action: The engineering doors seal, preserving the shreds of atmosphere barely returned to the interior of the vessel.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 *TO_Dojo*:  Lock coordinates and energize.

Brett:
 INFO: The Lady Jane enters low orbit with the Delphyne, and her shuttles and workpods return to their own shuttle bay.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO:  I am presently keeping the Lady Jane in the tractor beam, as it seemed there was some kind of problem over there that you were concerned about?

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::gets up and heads to the cargo bay to speak to the CEO::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @:: Waiting, listening... keeping a watchful eye on the cargo bay door.::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Yes, lieutenant. We have to investigate the chemicals and weapons Ensign Quinn discovered in the cargo of the Lady Jane.

Brett:
 @<Girl> ::Voice::  CEO: Can we go home now?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: My sensors are being disrupted by something... I am uncertain as to the cause...

Brett:
 Action: The security team appears in the cargo bay.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::rushes to catch up with Dubois::

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: Not yet... I know it's hard but we have to stay hidden for a little while longer.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: That sounds suspicious enough to warrent investigation.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Security: So glad to see you guys.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Indeed.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 ::Starts to move around from behind a crate::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: This is not the normal sort of jamming that I have encountered previously... it does not look to be generated by spacial distortions or the typical electronic jamming. Very peculiar....

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::raises his eyebrows:: *CEO*: Is Dubois with you?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @<TO_Dojo>: ::nods to CEO, points to where security personnel should station themselves.   CEO: Who all is here?

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @TO: Me... this little Andorian girl and her dog.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @TO: The FCO was on the bridge.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*FCO*: No Dubois here we need to find him.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @CEO: Keep low, protect the girl. If it gets sticky, beam out.

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @*CEO*: What's going on?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Try to isolate if you can.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @*FCO* : There a re weapons in the cargo hold... thats why he didn't want me headed this way.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: Lady Jane: Dubois: Captain, this is Captain Tar Rin Mash'ev of the USS Delphyne. Please respond.

CEO_Ens_Quinn:
 @Girl: Come here and stay by me. ::Moving by another large crate.::

FCO_Ens_Salan:
 @::draws his phaser and proceeds with caution::
