Host Tim says:
The Dublin is moving closer to Morngu to enhance sensor readings escorted by the two fighters while the senior staff is gathering in the briefing room.

Host Tim says:
<<<Resume Mission: "Does this tunic make me look fat?">>>

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Waits for the staff to arrive.::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::enters the briefing room after assigning the senior yeoman on duty to take the bridge in the meantime::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::gets up and moves quickly to the briefing room after having scanned over the bios of the new senior staff::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::in the conference lounge::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::finishes up on a reading about  the effects of gravity on human physiology before heading out::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::Steps out of the TL and onto the bridge, tugs down jacket and looks around at all the new faces::

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Follows the CTO.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: ready?

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
CTO: Always. ::Nods.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods as they begin to arrive.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Lets go. :: heads towards the briefing room::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::walks out of sickbay and onto the turbolift:: Computer: Computer, Bridge please.

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Continues following the CTO.::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::takes a seat next to the Captain's right and carefully eyes the newcomers entering the room::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat near the head of the table beside Kizlev::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::takes a sip out of a cup of coffee and looks at the planet shining in the window::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Have all the senior positions been assigned?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::Enters the room and snaps to attention and salutes the Captain:: CO: Lieutenant Wolf reporting as ordered sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Stands.:: CTO: Welcome Lieutenant. Please have a seat. ::Extends a hand.::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Walks out of the turbolift and quickly walks towards and enters the briefing room::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::shakes the Captain’s hand:: CO: Thank you sir ::takes a seat::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::completely befuzzled, wonders what is causing the problem on the planet ::

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Follows, stands next to the CTO at attention and salutes as well.:: CO: Lieutenant Junior Grade Kami, reporting as ordered, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods at Cerdan, feeling the weight of the increased gravity:: CO: Aye, sir. We're prepared. Now to see what we can do. I've already taken the liberty to inform Starfleet of the present situation.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Welcome aboard. Please have a seat and we'll get started.

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Cuts his salute.:: CO: Yes, sir. ::Takes a seat.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Very good Commander.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::rubs her head, having a worsening sensation of muffled mind-sensing and a growing headache::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Notices the two Klingons, then sees the Captain. Walks toward Captain then gives attention:: CO: Ensign Kavanagh, reporting for duty sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Sees the familiar blue of the medical uniform, and then notices the ensign insignia.:: CMO: Welcome aboard.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::sits smiling at the table, he would have never believed to be the most veteran senior officer on this ship.::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
CO: Thank you sir.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks around the room at each of the new senior staff, recalling what she read of their bios::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::takes a short glance at each of the new officers, then exchanges a glance with Rhianna, and smiles awkwardly at her, then looks down at the table::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks over the officers seated at the table, sizing each one up in turn::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Takes his seat and looks about the group.:: ALL: Welcome to you all. We'll get to know each other in time. Right now we have as you know a grave mission to complete.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::sits down as the Captain talks to them::

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Looks around silently, then watches the CO.::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::takes a deep breath, then lifts his gaze up to the Captain, and relaxes as best he can::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shifts in her seat, deciding she will need to have the new chief medical administer a light pain killer::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
XO: Mister Kizlev, Have we received any response for any non federation ships?

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
:: Reviews the information on his PADD.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Self: The more power we get the better if we have to fix the planet's innards.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: We've received a response from the Klingon High Council of an offer to send available ships, but only on the stipulation if the Morngu willing accepts their presence in this system.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks up at the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns to Ltjg Kami.:: FCO: Have you reviewed our position? We are in position for directed scans?

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
CO: We are, sir.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Thinks as he hears the XO:: Self: Oh boy...

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
FCO: Very good.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::picks up PADD he prepared for the briefing::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: Lieutenant Wolf, you’re up to speed with our current status?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::waits her turn to tell what she has sensed through the haze::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns to face the new CTO, having high expectations for the new tactical chief, having held tactical responsibility himself for years::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Yes Captain I am, given the situation here I believe we should keep an eye out for any trouble the Empire may use to take advantage of the situation here. I have prepared a list of Klingon vessels that have taken position on the border

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::slides PADD over to the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Lifts his eyes to the PADD.:: CTO: Very good.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CNS: You have anything new for me?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks at Wolf when he talks about the Klingon vessels::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::notices the CNS looking at him and winks::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::listens carefully to the other officers' reports::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods at the Captain and stands respectfully::  CO: Sir, I have sensed, though it is getting more difficult to, that the Morngu will not like aggressive species like the Klingons coming near or helping them.  I believe they think that type would be a threat to them...or perhaps they could lose face looking so helpless.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks to Rhianna, then lets his eyes roam around the table at the others, his antennae calm, upright, and barely moving::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat again::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CNS: Thank you Lieutenant. I'm sure that will need to be considered.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::thinks the Morngu, and all races like them need to swallow their stubborn pride once in a while::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::wonders how it will go over if the two half Klingons are seen on the view screen, could be a touchy situation::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns to the new Chief medical officer.:: CMO: Doctor, How is the increased gravity effecting our crew?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Stands:: CO: Nothing too bad Captain, I've had about an eighth of the crew come in for headaches and nose bleeds, but nothing serious.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CMO: We may start to lower our ships gravity if we don't need to go down to the planet.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::the mention of the gravity reminds him why his mug of coffee weighs as much as a gallon jar::

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
Self: I hope no one is overworking themselves for thinking they’re fat.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Turns finally to the Chief.:: CEO: Mister Delgado. I assume you and our science officer have a working theory on the cause of the decreased gravity?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SCANS SHOW AN INCREASE IN SEISMIC ACTIVITY ON MORNGU

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Sits down::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: We think it's due to planetary mass disappearing. Lieutenant Daniels thinks this planet core is having some serious instability issue. We have not found the reason of the loss of gravity yet. If we find where the mass is going we may have a solution.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Captain seismic activity is increasing on the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Nods to Lt. Wolf.::

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::his eyebrows arc up, and sidelong gazes at the CEO, anxious to hear about a solution, since so far, the choices seemed to be limited to planetary evacuation::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: That is to be expected, the crust of the planet is shrinking. It is like the planet is deflating like a balloon.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: Our detailed scans should give us some answers?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Hopefully we should be able to observe in detail what is happening inside the planet's core. If not we may also think about using our phasers for some crust drilling.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: The problem is that we cannot find a cure for the planet illness until we know what is affecting it.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Taps the table in thought a moment.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::rubs temple lost in deep thought::

Host Tim says:
<Duty OPS>*CO*: Star Fleet comm says that they've put out the word to all UFP members for assistance. Said the best bet was the Klingons and or Romulans.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
*Duty OPS*: Acknowledged

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks to the Captain, prepared to interject on his behalf, feeling the ache in his left shoulder bother him a little more now than five minutes before::

Host Tim says:
<Duty OPS> ::mutters:: Hope they aren't holding their breath for that to happen.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CEO: Work with Lieutenant Daniels and our new helmsman to get us those scans.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Romulans

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Consider it done sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: You have any pull with the Klingon ship stationed near the border?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::hears the duty OPS and considers that the Romulans would be viewed as badly as Klingons by the Morngu::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: That would depend on their Captain’s mood sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: Let’s see what happens through official channels before we try.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::looks over the crew for any severe physically discomfort::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CMO: Is there anything we can do for those suffering on the planet?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: I’ll contact the High Council and see if I can come to some arrangement that doesn’t involve annexing the system.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
CO: In terms of the distortion in gravity, if they allow us to help we can provide medication to ease the discomfort.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::puts a hand up to his left shoulder, and winces his eyes a bit, as the pain kicks in a bit sharply there, wondering if the gravity is affecting the artificial joints implanted there::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Looks over his PADD again.:: CMO: Prepare as much as you can. Commander Kizlev will contact them and see if they will accept the help.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::turns to look at Kizlev as she senses him wince and puts one hand on his arm for a few seconds and keeps listening::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
CTO: Make some unofficial inquiries. Let me know if I can help.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::starts drawing some schematics on a PADD:: Self: We need to maintain an atomic definition on our scanners even at huge depths. So how much energy would we be needing?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the Captain::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Watches the XO massage his shoulder::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Notices Kizlev wince.:: CMO: Perhaps you should have a look at our XO.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
CO: Aye sir, I was just thinking the same.

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Stands::  Aloud. Dismissed everyone. Lets see if we can help these people.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks up at Cerdan, pretending there's no pain, quickly mindful of not showing weakness in front of others:: CO: I'm fine, sir. Thank you. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Prepare the phaser arrays for geological drilling operation in case we need to pursue that avenue.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::wonders at his grandfathers reaction to hearing from him::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::exits the room and makes his way to Tactical::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: So when do you want to set an appointment?

FCO_LtJG_Kami says:
::Takes a breath, stands and heads out of the room to acquaint himself with the ship's helm.::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Starts to walk out and then stops.:: XO: Commander. After Mister Kavanagh has a look at you, see if you can determine how many ships the Morngu have to help in evacuation if it's needed.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::sighs, thinking it's time he takes his own advice about swallowing pride:: CMO: Now, if that's possible, doctor.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::rises::  CMO: If I could, I believe I need some sort of light pain killer.  The EM radiation is bothering me...since I am half Betazoid.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO/CNS: Very well, if you both follow me to sickbay please.

XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Of course, Captain. ::turns to the CMO and gestures to the door:: 

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::takes seat at main tactical and begins to make adjustments to phaser array::

Host CO_Capt_Cerdan says:
::Resumes his way to the bridge.::
