 <<<<Begin Mission "Galaxy Princess - Part 1">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::at her station on the bridge::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Sitting on the bridge, enjoying a moment when he's actually caught up on paperwork. ::

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::running diagnostics on grey mode systems from Main Engineering::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 FCO: Time to intercept, ensign?

Brett:
 <FCO> CO: Sixteen minutes present speed.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::walks onto the bridge, and takes his seat::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Counselor, just in time. We'll be intercepting the SS Galaxy Princess soon.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::watching the sensors::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::does a light scan of the liner::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I have reviewed the manifest.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: and I have made sure we have a place form them once they arrive on board

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: I'm not expecting any trouble and, hopefully, we won't have to take them onboard. But, just in case…

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: I'd like you to pick an away team and investigate the Galaxy Princess. Take some security as a precaution but make it clear that they are there as a formality.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: I am reading the liner on sensors… with passive scans I do not detect any signs of damage. It is presently moving at three-quarters impulse, which is normal for a liner on a cruise.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Thank you, lieutenant. Let's hope that everything's as normal on the inside as it is on the outside.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CNS: Yes, sir.

Brett:
 INFO: The Delphyne comes within visual range of the Passenger ship.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *CEO* Meet me in transporter one, for an away mission CSO: I would like you to come along as well

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 FCO: On screen, hailing frequencies.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods and calls someone over to her station::

Brett:
 <FCO> CO: Aye sir.  ::Does as bidden::

Brett:
 INFO: The Galaxy Princess is a large ship, a bit longer than the Delphyne but slimmer and roughly ovoid in shape.  She is painted a bright white with stripes and lettering along her flanks noting her name and registry number as well as the cruise line company.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 *CNS*: Aye, sir.  ::heads out of Main Engineering to the turbolift::

Brett:
 Action: The Princess responds to the hail.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::stands:: TO: Have two security escorts meet us in the transporter room

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Is there any equipment you would like me to bring? Besides this? :: wiggles the tricorder she'd feel naked without::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: Galaxy Princess: Captain:  This is Captain Tar Rin Mash'ev of the USS Delphyne responding to your distress signal. Please respond.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::gets on the turbolift and feels the gravity change as it begins to move::

Brett:
 Action: The viewscreen lights up showing the roomy bridge of the ship.  A Terran male in the crisp white shirt of a civilian liner captain appears on screen.  He smiles.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::waits to listen to the hail::

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::feels the turbolift slow and waits for the door to open before he heads to the transporter room::

Brett:
 <Loker> COM:DEL: CO: Greetings Captain, my name is Oswald Loker, Captain of the Galaxy Princess.  I feel terrible you came out here; we had a… misunderstanding, an accident really.  The distress call went out by mistake.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::enters the transporter room::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::does a mental scan of the CO to see if he is lying::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: GP: Loker:  I understand, Captain Loker. I hope you will understand that, as protocol, we have to investigate. I'd like your permission to beam an away team over to inspect?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::can tell that Loker is lying, but decides to bit his tongue this time, last time he spoke up the entire ship was taken over::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ~~~CSO: He is lying, could you give me a better scan with the sensors before we go over there. I would like to know more before we beam over into trouble~~~~

Brett:
 <Loker> COM: Del: CO: Really Captain, it isn't necessary.  ::Looks off screen for a moment, then looks back::  Actually, I suppose since you are here, you might as well enjoy our facilities.  How many should we expect?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 COM: GP: Capt: I'd like to send a party of 6 over, if you don't mind?  :: Smiles, suspects something is wrong but won't know for sure. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::looks at the counselor:: ~~~CNS: Yes…~~~ ::does an active scan::

Brett:
 <Loker> COM: Del: CO: That will be fine.  ::Smiles again::

Brett:
 Action: The transmission ends.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: He is hiding something, and lying out his teeth.  Lt. Rhykmal is doing an active scan of their ship now

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Captain Loker is expecting 6 people. Please add security to fill out your team. I suspect something is wrong but we can't just charge in there.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 TO: Add another security officer to the detail, have them meet us in transporter one

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: Yes, sir

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: Anything on the scan?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: If there's trouble over there I cannot tell… no anomalies… no strange life signs… 154 life signs in all.. ::pauses:: is that the right number?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: We'll beam you out as quickly as we can, should the need arise.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: There should be only 145: 25 crew, and 120 guest

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises a Vulcan eyebrow:: CNS: Then I do believe there is a problem… precisely what it is and who it is… is indeterminate at present. Should we bring phasers?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: We won’t know what is going on over there until we get there, yes phasers would be useful. ::turns to the turbolift::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes with the counselor, nods::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters the TL and proceeds to the transporter room::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::feels the lift move then slow on the appropriate deck::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: I imagine the Chief Engineer will be waiting for us…

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: Most likely ::the lift stops, and he walks off::

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::begins running diagnostics on the tranporter pad::

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 ::in sickbay, going over the files from recent cases::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::arrives in the transporter room:: CEO: I regret we kept you waiting… but we have new information.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::looks up at the CSO::  CSO: No problem Lt.,  I was just running some diagnostics.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::enters the transporter room::  Transporter Chief: Has the cruise ship provided us with a beam in location?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Security guard: Type one phasers for us, and stun setting for all

Brett:
 <TRChief> CNS: Aye, sir; their transporter room.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::the security guards pass out type one phasers to the CSO, CNS, and CEO, keeping type two for them selves::

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 ::goes out into sickbay and starts double-checking the automatic sanitation systems::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::gets her type 1 and sets it on stun::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::steps onto the padd:: TRChief: Beam us in somewhere else, if you don't mind

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 ::checks the settings on the phaser, holsters it, and then moves over to the transporter pad::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::stuffs it in the small pocket in her uniform and steps onto the pad::

Brett:
 <TRChief> ::Blinks, then adjusts the controls::  CNS: Aye sir.  Stand by.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Are you certain?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: Their Captain may be lying but do we wish to… ::tilts her head:: tip our hand by showing our distrust?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: True.  TrChief: Their transporter room is fine

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 TRChief: Energize.

Brett:
 Action: The away team dematerializes and then…

Brett:
 Action: …rematerializes on a sandy beach, the ocean lapping close by.  Two dozen people frolic or lie in the sun, and splash in the water.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::looks around:: CSO: I did say their transporter room, correct?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::raises eyebrow:: CNS: This does not look to be the transporter room…

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @CSO: I think we need to get this upgrade

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::looks around:: AT: I know I ran a diagnostic before we beamed over…

Brett:
 <TR Chief> *CNS*: Sorry sir, I forgot to reset the coordinates.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::tilts her head:: CEO/CNS: I knew there had to be a logical explanation.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @*TR Chief* Let them know where you put us

Brett:
 @<Skimpy clad woman> ::Approaches giggling with a beach ball::  All: Hi!  You guys are a bit overdressed.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::starts looking around:: CSO: We might as well look around while we wait for their crew to come and get us

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @woman: The sun always burns our skin ::smiles::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::raises an eyebrow at the woman then hears the CNS and nods, then takes out her tricorder and begins scanning::

Brett:
 @<Woman> All: Well, you can change in that cabana over there.  ::Indicates a small grass hut::  My friends and I were about to play some volleyball… want to join us?

Brett:
 @INFO: Near the edge of the "jungle" an Arch is prominently visible.  The scans corroborate that the AT is on a holodeck.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @Woman: Maybe later, could you direct us to one of the ships crew?

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::looks at the woman and a small smile creeps onto his face::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::points to the arch:: All: Shall we?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @CNS: Indeed.

Brett:
 @<Woman> ::Points to a life guard sitting bored in a raised tower::  CNS: There's one.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::makes his way to the arch, almost wishing he really was on vacation, the and and the sound of the ocean sound great::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @woman: Thanks

Brett:
 @<Woman> ::Whispers to the CSO::  CSO: His name is Tony.  ::Winks and flounces away::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @CNS: The man's name is Tony.

Brett:
 @Action: The arch opens revealing an opulent corridor and two liner crewmen.  They stop short at seeing you.

Brett:
 @<Crewman> All: Oh, there you are.  We've been sent to escort you to the Captain.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::eyes the crewman::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::walks off the holodeck and sees the two crewmembers:: crewmen: We had a problem with our transporter Chief, and well we almost ended up on the ocean

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @Crewman: Those were not the coordinates that were sent to us?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::follows the crewmen::

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::follows the group::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @crewmen: So what does a vacation like this cost the average guy

Brett:
 @Info: The group moves through the well lit corridors.  The liner is luxurious, to be sure.  Passenger staterooms line most of the halls, there are several beauty salons, a bowling alley, more holosuites… observation lounges etc.  A number of guests pass by, all seem to be having a good time.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::follows along also and is curious herself::

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 ::gets in turbolift and heads to bridge::

Brett:
 @<Crewman> CNS: Hard to say, depends on the currency.  But, for the basic cruise, in latinum, about twelve bars.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @~~~CSO: Everything seems to be alright, I wonder if the guest and junior crew really know if anything is wrong~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @Crewman: A little rich for my blood, maybe when I make fleet admiral ::smiles::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::simply nods at Donnie almost like a casual gesture::

Brett:
 @Action: The group arrives at a turbolift and enters.  The crewmember directs it to deck one.

Brett:
 @<Crewman> CNS: Well, if you drag your inspection out long enough, you'll get a cruise for free right?  ::Grins and winks::

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 ::steps out onto the bridge:: CO: Captain. Am I disturbing you, sir?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::gives the CNS a sideways look::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CMO: ::turns:: Not at all, doctor. Join me, won't you? I'm just waiting to hear back from the away team.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::smiles:: Crewman: yeah we might have to inspect the entire ship

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @~~~CNS: Are you sensing any unusual emotions?~~~

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 CO: Thank you, sir. I was just wondering what was going on with them. I couldn't tell anything from sickbay.

Brett:
 @Action: The lift arrives at the command deck.  The door opens and the two crewmembers lead the AT down a short, more functional looking corridor to a set of air tight doors.  These open onto the Galaxy Princesses' bridge.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::does a mental scan of the area as they walk out on to the bridge::

Brett:
 @INFO: The bridge is large, about the equal to the Delphyne's.  It is far less crowded with equipment however.  Three officers stand waiting for the AT.

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::sneaks a glance at his tricorder to see if there is any unusual readings::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CMO: Well, I'm hoping to give them an opportunity to check things out. Even though something's going on that we don't know about, I am confident that it's nothing they can't handle.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::motions for the guards to wait at the door, on the inside::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @~~~CSO: These officers are very nervous, but nothing beyond that~~~

Brett:
 @<Loker> All: Welcome aboard.  ::Smiles::  May I present my first officer Embeth Fries, and our navigator Mr. Zek.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::makes his way to the officers:: Loker: Greetings, I am Cmdr Llewellyn, this is Lt. Rhykmal, and Ens. Hamanari.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 @::nods politely at the officers::

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 CO: Ye never know when there's going to be a wee bit of trouble, eh?

CEO_Ens_Hamanari:
 @::nods::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CMO: Nope. And I rarely get what I hope for, either.  :: grim smile ::

Brett:
 @<Loker> All: Well, as I told your Captain, there was a mix up.  No problems really.  But, ::shrugs:: feel free to look around I guess.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 @::smiles:: Loker: we are sorry to bother you. You know how Starfleet is with their regulations…

CMO_Ens_O’Dell:
 CO: ::dryly:: Loovly.

Brett:
 @<Loker> CNS: Right.  ::Smiles fades slightly::
