Host Tim says:
The U.S.S. Dublin is just entering the Urlathian space when a buoy gives its warning

Host Tim says:
<<<Begin Mission; New friends... but why?>>>

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Entering Urlathian space Captain. Slowing to one quarter impulse.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::at OPS station::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sits in the first officer's chair listening to Cali::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Rien:  Good.  As soon as we reach the Urlath planet, take standard orbit.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::stands on the bridge to watch the Dublin's approach to this planet::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Expectations to this encounter?

Host Tim says:
#<buoy>COM: Warning... you have entered Urlathian controlled space. You are required to check in with Urlath operations.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir, we are required to check in with Urlath operations.  We are getting the message from a warning buoy.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: None Captain, but I do hope the negotiations will be successful. We can use another member of the Federation.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  I see.  Do it, let's see how friendly they are.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Always.  ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins:: CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Nice greeting.  I guess they want to know when visitors arrive.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Any suggestions, Doctor?  I know you have spent some time studying this people background.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
COM: Urlath OPS: This is the Federation ship the USS Dublin.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Arriving at Urlath in eleven standard minutes Captain.

Host Urlath-OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Urlath operations here.  We've been expecting you.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Aye.  Very subtle.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::smiles::  CO:  When in Rome, so as the Romans.

Host Urlath-OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Please establish an orbit of 77, 000 km.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir...they've acknowledged our hail and have been expecting us.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Good.  Any instructions?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::hears the request and nods to Mia:: OPS: I got it Mia.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  If they're like Betazoids, then they'll appreciate honesty.  People are always a little unnerved when they visit Betazed, too.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
COM: Urlath OPS: Aye....establishing an orbit of 77,000 km. ::sends the instructions to Rien::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::notices that Mia and Cali are working very well together::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Just to establish an orbit of 77,000 km.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods to Mia::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::leans over:: CO: Well at least they seem friendly.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Let's hope it keeps that way.  ::leans backward on his chair::

Host Urlath-OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Contact when orbit is established, then switch to frequency 28.546.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
COM: Urlath OPS: Understood....frequency 28.546

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Well, seems to me that will be an easy diplomatic mission.  ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
Rien: Tell me when we have established orbit, please.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::slows the Dublin down:: OPS: You got it Mia, will do.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Let's hope so.

Host Tim says:
#ACTION: APPARENTLY THE URLATH MIC IS LEFT ON WHEN THIS IS HEARD, "YOU'D THINK THE FEDERATION COULD FIX THEIR OWN SHIPS."

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Have Engineering on stand by in case we go to blue alert.  One of my goals here is to get this beauty landing on this planet.

Host Tim says:
#ACTION: MUTTERING IS HEARD AND THEN THE COMM GOES DEAD

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::giggles:: CO: Did you hear that?

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::her eyes widen and then she starts to laugh, but smothers it:: CO: My, yes, they are very open...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Engineering on standby aye.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  What the..???

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::smiles and looks at Mia:: OPS: Oh this is going to be interesting.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::can't help but laughs::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Okay... we have a nice start point.  ::grins and shakes head::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head and makes certain that their mic is closed:: Rien: You said it.  Sheesh ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::decides it's time to negotiate::  OPS:  Mia, hail the Urlath's command center.  I want to speak to the one in charge.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Captain moving to Urlath obit, at 77,000 km and holding.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Mia, entering orbit now.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>OPS: What the Commander said. ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hears both the CO and Rien, smiles her thanks to Rien and tunes into the frequency that the Urlath's requested:: COM: Urlath OPS: We've established orbit and are transmitting on the requested frequency.  My Captain, Captain MacLeod, wishes to speak to the designated point of contact.

Host Urlath-OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: We were told you need to land here for repairs; is that still the case?

Host Urlath-OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Wait one for Bishop Kant.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Sir? How should I respond?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
COM: Urlath:  This is Captain Mauro MacLeod.  Unfortunately that is the case.  Would you allow us to land and proceed to the repairs on your facilities?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Do not worry Mia.  ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins back at him and then turns back to monitoring all the comm traffic in the area::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::glances at the CMO and wonders if she can read anyone down the planet by now::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#Urlath OPS: Are they there yet?  ::a pause:: COM: Dublin: This is Bishop Kant. We have our primary repair site ready for you.  Here are the coordinates.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::whispers:: OPS: I'm not sure I can land this ship Mia. Think I should ask Commander Adams-MacLeod to do it instead?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Transfer the coordinates to the Helm as soon as we have them.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::shakes her head no slightly as she looks at the captain and listens to the comm::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::passes the coordinates to Rien:: Rien: I think she would really like that even if you could land it ::smiles::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#COM: Dublin: I will meet you at the landing site.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#COM: Dublin: Have your repair requirements ready.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
COM: Urlath: Thank you Bishop Kant, we are on our way.  We will meet soon.  Dublin out.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#COM: Dublin: Err, out. Urlath OPS: How do you turn this thing off?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::turns to Cassie:: FCO: Commander, would you like to handle the landing?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Blue alert.  ::listens to Rien's request to the FCO::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks at Mackie:: CO: Up to you Captain?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  What are you waiting for?  ::smiles::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*All*: All stations, prepare for blue alert status. We're taking the Dublin to the surface.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: I've got a list already, Sir.  Also what supplies we need. ::closes their mic and giggles at the Urlath OPS:: Maybe I could teach them a few things about their comm system when we are down there.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::starts to laugh again and has a harder time stifling it so she turns slightly, trying to control the giggles::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::grins at her husband and moves to the helm:: Rien: Thanks Cali.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::stands and moves away:: FCO: Good luck Commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::takes the helm and checks the coordinates:: All: Ok folks, here we go.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Perhaps.  ::smiles::  Just hope they have at least part of our needs.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
All: Taking us to .25 impulse to the stratosphere.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Hold your hat, Doctor... Cassie is back to the driver seat.  ::grins::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::shuffles along to the landing site muttering, "I hope they are prepared to pay for these repairs." ::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shrugs:: CO: If not...I'm certain they have something I can adapt. ::grins and settles in watching the landing procedures with interest::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SCANS SHOW THE DUBLIN IS BEING TRACKED AS IT DESCENDS

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
All: Anti-gravity generators engaging, impulse lifters online.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::gives Mauro a mock frightened look, but says nothing aloud::  CO:  Ahhh, then no worries.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: We're being tracked as we land.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Take a look at the inertial dampening field...  ::feel the ship rocks::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::makes an adjustment manually:: CO: It was a little out of sync...adjusting it as we go.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::enters the upper atmosphere:: CO: Angle rotation nominal, balancing thrusters nominal.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  You're doing great, Cas... keep her steady.......  ::watches the view screen::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::holds on his chair's arms and waits for the touchdown::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: RSC lifters engaged, landing struts and gear down at 2500 meters above landing zone. Shutting aft impulse and opening vents on ventral hull now.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Looks up at the noise and steps back::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::keeps an eye on the power grids::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::loves the Helm talk::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::turns slightly:: CO: Touchdown in 5......4........3..........2......

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Opens eyes wide at the sleekness of the vessel. Nothing like the ones the Urlath have::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO/OPS:  I wonder if these people have seen any starship about the Norway size....

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: We're down! ::sighs with relief::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::giggles:: CO: Considering they can't operate a simple mic...that sort of tells me the answer is 'no'.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO/OPS:  Or any other...

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#Self: And they want us to fix that?!!

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Or any starship.  ::Tries to keep her balance as she stands::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Good job Commander!

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Shutting all thrusters down. Engines to standby.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Squints at the dust being pushed toward him::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::looks at Mauro and smiles, having their thoughts coincide::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
FCO: That was great, Commander!

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands from his chair and walks to her, in order to congratulate her::  FCO:  Perfect, as usual!  ::smiles and shakes hand... they're on duty::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::smiles at Mia:: OPS: Thanks, it's been a while.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
FCO:  Excellent, ma'am.  Fine touch on the controls.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Looks at the ship wondering just where the door is::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::squeezes Mackie's hand:: CO: Thank you Captain. ::grins::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::flips the view screen to view the outside:: CO: I'll bet that's your contact, Sir...standing out there. ::points at the image of Bishop Kant::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Good job everyone.  Now, all non essential personal is relieved from duty while we make the repairs.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::returns to the helm seat:: FCO: Well done Ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  I'll try to get you some R&R in this planet.  Should be an interesting experience, for both people.  ::smiles::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Rien: Thanks Cali.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::frowns at the words R &R, thinking of the aborted plans on DS5, but puts a smile on.  Decides it could be interesting and may be like her home planet::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO/CMO/OPS:  Follow me.  Let's talk to Bishop Kant and see what we can get.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::stands and pats Cali's shoulder:: Rien: Watch over her Cali.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::heads to the turbolift::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::follows the Captain to the turbolift::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Looks over his shoulder as though expecting to see someone::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::calls Moondoggie over and hands him a quick set of instructions before joining the CO on the turbolift, a PADD  placed in her jacket pocket::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Yes sir.  I should be able to 'read' them too. ::raises an eyebrow::  I think that's good...

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns and nods to the duty officers on the bridge::  Duty Officers:  Carry on.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Notes the Urlath techies come out of the nearby buildings and gape at the ship::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Good... keep your mind open, but take care.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Waves the head mechanic over to him::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  I will.  ::walks along beside the captain::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, I believe security is already at the landing strut waiting for us.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leaves TL and heads to the landing strut::  FCO:  Good.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::exits the ship to the landing area, finds Bishop Kant and walks towards him::  FCO/CMO/OPS:  Well... let's do it.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::nods to the captain and figures she doesn't even have to focus to 'hear' them::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::follows the Captain taking a look around as they walk::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
#::Looks over the security guard and wonders if these "guests" really feel that threatened::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::gets the thought, loud and clear 'so now I guess we'll see how much want from us'.  Keeps her calm and her smile::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Come along Mia. Mustn't keep our hosts waiting.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kant:  Bishop Kant, I am Captain Mauro MacLeod, from the USS Dublin, UFP.  Nice to meet you, sir.  ::extends his arm to shake hands::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::Looks at the extended hand and decides to shake it::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins and hurries along after the rest only tripping a little down the stairs and onto the ground.  Looks around as she walks behind the rest and almost plows into Tessa who was stopped by the CO::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
CO: I suppose it is.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::quickly retrieves his hand::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::motions to his crew::  Kant:  This is my crew, Commander Adams-MacLeod, Doctor Jakiel and Ensign Clooney.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::Looks at each and nods slightly::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::smiles at Bishop Kant:: Kant: A pleasure sir.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
FCO: I'm sure. CO: Your repair list?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::waves  'Hi' :: Kant: Hello, Sir.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::Looks down at the OPS and raises one brow::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::turns and smiles at Mia::  OPS:  Having problems Mia?  Why don't you just stand beside me?  ::moves to the side of her...where it should be safer::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;looks at Tessa and gives her the "oh boy, this one's a real pip" look::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kant:  Of course.  ::glances at Mia::  OPS:  Mia, give Bishop Kant the list.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::gestures to his mechanic to take the list::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
Mechanic: Look that over and let me know if we can fill the requirements.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::notices the rumours of abrasive and rude people are real::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::pulls the PADD from her jacket pocket:: Kant: Here Sir...this is a list of our repairs and also a list of our resupply needs if possible. ::shifts and hands the PADD to the mechanic instead::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Kant: Our engineers are standing by to assist your people Bishop Kant.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
<Mechanic> ::Nods and takes the list, then scurries off to his building::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods, confirming what Cassie stated::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::nods her head at Cassie, having heard a few choice 'remarks' already.  Probably best the rest of the crew isn't telepathic::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::Slowly turns to the female:: FCO: Good, we can't be expected to know how to fix that. ::waves at the Dublin::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Kant:  Do not worry, sir.  I'm sure both our Engineers and your mechanics will do an excellent job.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
CO: We have quarters for you and your crew.  Perhaps you desire to clean up before we discuss payment methods.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::leans close to the captain::  CO:  They seem to think we may just trying to be using them.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
Kant: We will see that your mechanics get all the necessary specs on the ship.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
Kant: Excuse me, Sir...but if you don't have all of the supplies we need I'm sure I could find something comparable.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::Looks down at the small female officer:: OPS: I see.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
Bishop-Kant:  And I'm sure it will be well worth the price, sir.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
::raises one brow:: CMO: No doubt.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up at him grinning before stepping back to let the others speak::

Host Bishop-Kant says:
CO: Well Captain?  To your quarters?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::frowns a bit::  Kant:  Payment... hhmmm... of course.  My crew is tired and will appreciate your hospitality.  Thank you.

Host Bishop-Kant says:
CO: This way then. ::turns on his heel and begins walking off::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: He sure is to the point isn't he?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::leans over and whispers to Tessa:: CMO: Gee...I feel at home already. ::grins and hurries off after Kant::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::in a comment to Mia's comment::  All:  Believe it or not, so do I.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::whispers::  FCO/CMO/OPS:  Hold your personal comments for a while.  We will talk later.  ::follows Kant::
