Host Tim says:
During the last 3 hours the Dublin staff has been working feverishly on plans to at least maintain Morgnu's current status;  The Mornguans seem resigned to their fate.

Host Tim says:
Star Base 173 has been relaying many responses for evacuation vessels.  Those most likely to respond fastest are the independent freighters.

Host Tim says:
<<<Resume Mission: "Time draws neigh">>>

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::checks phaser settings and satisfied checks latest comm traffic::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge looking over a few PADDs just given to him by the duty yeoman, not interested much in paperwork right now, just hoping the captain gets off his conference call with Starfleet soon::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Entering the bridge from the TL, and heads to her science station.::  XO:  Commander, Chief Delgado and I have run several scenarios in the holosuites to come up with a plan to jump start the planet's core.  We've managed to come up with a scenario that has a 77.87% probability that it will work.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  Sir?  I am receiving call after call of offers to help with the evacuation of the Morngu.  The independent freighters will probably be the first ones here from my extrapolations of current position and stated speed.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  That is taking our entire compliment of 40 torpedoes into consideration.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Checking scans and supplies one more time:: Self: Eh?....That's not good...

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks up and sets the PADDs on his lap:: CSO: 77 percent? Is there a possibility of something more promising?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Sir the closest evacuation vessels are 30 days of, though there appears to be a race developing between the Empire and the Romulans.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
*XO*: Sir, it appears as the Morgnuan atmosphere is densing up with more airborne particles.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::a partial smile tips the corner of her lips as she says didactically::  CTO: And the Romulans will lead...  ::puts a hand up to ear, listening to another communication::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Reminiscent of the greenhouse effect?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::was about to answer the CTO upon hearing Kavanaugh's report:: *CMO*: Worse...not better? Can you tell me why, doctor? ::turns to Tayla, wondering if their plan has backfired::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  With only the torpedo compliment, I'm afraid not.  We did manage to take into account the use of the gases from the planet being used as a catalyst, and that is also with the strategic placement of all torpedoes.  Now we of course have the warp core that we have not thrown into the equation, but I believe there were several crew that were reluctant to use that scenario.  Of course using the warp core would increase the percentage, but getting it to where we need it to be poses a problem.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::Smiles slyly:: CNS: Safe money is on the Empire.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Right now, the gases are causing a greenhouse effect, but our probes have been venting dangerous gases away from the planet, so that will buy them some time.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO: You are permitted your...delusion.  ::says most businesslike::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: Not a delusion counselor a fact.  ::chuckles::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::sees the yeoman entering the bridge, no doubt seeking his signed paperwork:: CSO: I'd much rather we save use of the core as a last resort, as I'm sure you'll understand. But if it comes to that, we to know precise placement, and making sure there is no danger to the Morngu, of course.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Reads the scans further, trying to pinpoint the problem:: *XO*: It seems volcanic activity has taken place near a very large junk yard, and the force of the eruption has cause various debris to be spread into the atmosphere.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::takes the three PADDs in his lap, quickly gives them a glance, mumbling over their uninteresting contents, signs them, then hands them to the yeoman with an awkward smile and an annoyed twitch of his antennae at her::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::listens carefully and adds particular vessels to her chart and then ignores Wolf's prejudiced comment, but smiles::  XO: Sir...there are several independent freighters that are projected to be here within a Terran week.  Shall we inform the Morngu.  I believe it might relieve some of their stress.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods to the XO.::  XO:  Of course, Commander, which is why I did not suggest it in the first place.  ::Smiles at him, and getting a more serious look on her face.::  The dangerous gases are venting from the planet's atmosphere, and will allow the Morngu population more time before they die from the poisonous gases that remain.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CNS::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  But that will not stop the seismic activities from occurring on the planet's surface.  And it will only get worse as the situation progresses.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Phaser array is standing by should you need them Commander.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes, most certainly inform them. Also, if you can get in touch with those freighters...tell them if they can prepare for environmental cleanup duties. Seems we need to clear up some...garbage. ::hopes they don't take offense to that request::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO/CSO:  Is there any chance that the phasers could ignite the vented gases?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: INCOMING REPORT FROM STAR BASE 173 STATES THEY'VE FOUND A NEAR SIMILAR PLANET FOR THE EVACUEES; 38 LIGHT YEARS AWAY

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:;turns to CSO and raises and eyebrow::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: SB 173 has found a suitable resettlement planet 38 light years away Commander.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::his antennae slacken as he ponders in thought for a moment, then turns to look at the CTO for his assessment of Rhianna's question::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Head pops up from her console at the CNS's response.::  CNS:  Yes, I'm sorry.  What are you planning to do with phasers?  Using phasers is not a good idea.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
*XO*: Sir would you like me to assist you on the Bridge? I'm sure my assistance can handle the Sickbay.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
*CMO*: Yes, you're more than welcome, doctor. I was just considering that you do come.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: With the gases currently in the atmosphere there is a good chance the phasers would ignite them.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
Self:  Hmmm...  ::tries to think of a diplomatic way to express the cleanup while she opens a channel to the Morngu planet::  COM: Morngu: This is the USS Dublin.  I would like to report that we have incoming vessels within the week.  We are working on your environmental problems as quickly as we can.  Let us know of any other problems.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  I'm afraid there is more than a good chance that the gases will be ignited.  I do not recommend whatever it is they are planning to do.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the CSO:: XO: We would need to vent as much of the gases as we could before we could even think of using the phasers for geological drilling.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::looks around for a moment to see if everything is okay, then heads out towards the Bridge::

Host Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: Commander Kizlev, we have the evacuation lists finalized and will need transportation for 210, 000 of our people.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
ALL:  If they are looking for a way to clean up garbage, using phasers is not the way to go.  Garbage is the least of this planet's troubles, I'm afraid.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: I see...I was hoping for a relocation point. ::gets up goes over to the helm, standing behind the duty FCO, then punches some keys on the console for some calculations:: Self: 13.5 days travel at warp 8...not good.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO: Sir!  Star Base 173 now reports a planet very similar to the Mornguans that is approximately 38 light years away.  An excellent choice. I am forwarding you the initial specifics as well as to Lieutenant Daniels.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CNS.::  CNS:  I will have my science department compare the planets.  I am sure that it will be suitable for the Morngu, and much safer until we can resolve the issues with their planet.  Although what I am very concerned about is what may be causing the destruction of the planet.  If it is something that they have done, then giving them another planet to cause problems with only doubles the problems we have here.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::hums "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" as he rides the turbolift up::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::hears the comm and is not happy at what Keret has decided and says very quietly to Kizlev standing next to her::  XO: Only 210,000?  The rest will die?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Some people just never learn.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::leans over to the OPS console where Rhianna is, pressing a key to acknowledge the hail:: COM: Keret: Advisor Keret, I might suggest you make a larger list if you can. We're hoping to pull more of your people out than that.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods to Tayla::  CSO:  This planet does have less gravity than they are used to but it should be livable for them.  I believe our new physician here will need to look into that.  CMO: Sir, I will forward you the specs and data on gravity so you could see how that might affect the Morngu's internal organs.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Chief Delgado and I have come up with a better solution than using phasers for drilling.  We have a probe that is designed with a rotating head that will do the drilling into the core of the planet.

Host Keret says:
@COM: Dublin: Kizlev: While we appreciate your concern Commander our people are used to sacrifice and rest assured that those selected will provide an ample gene pool to revive our civilization.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Very good, can we modify more if needs dictate?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: I’d rather use phasers as the very last resort.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Aye, and engineering and science have been working around the clock to modify several probes that we can use.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::is relieved to hear Kizlev speaking strongly for a larger evacuation, but feels a bit angry that Keret is making such a decision 'for' his people and wonders if 'they' know the man's decision to doom them, inhales Kizlev's particular scent, but does not react to it outwardly::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::glances around, looking for Kavanaugh to arrive:: COM: Keret: How commendable of your people, however, we're not about to simply resign ourselves to fate, of which I'm sure you can understand. Tell me, Keret, do your scientists have any theories as to why this is happening to your world?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::walks out of the TL just in time to hear the CNS:: CNS: Thank you ma'am. ::Takes a seat at an auxiliary station::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::monitors the XO`s conversation::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::clenches her teeth at Keret's stubbornness after having sensed such a large degree of pride in Keret, though it is tinged with remorse at the whole situation, advises quietly:: XO: I have sensed that Keret is not happy with the sacrifice, so I would believe if pushed, he might 'allow' us to evacuate more.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches the CNS`s face closely::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  If it is our idea, perhaps he would not lose face.  ::looks into Kizlev's eyes, upset that some would have to die unnecessarily::

Host Keret says:
@::Shifts nervously and looks around, presumably at some others near him::  COM: Kizlev: We have a theory. It may have been our attempt at geothermal energy.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: According to the analysis, the new planet is about .15 less in gravitation. With that condition, the Mornguan anatomy would sag, resulting in a more average Terran physique.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Listens intently to the conversation between Keret and the Commander, while running further scans of the planet to find out what is causing the disaster to occur.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::turns to look directly at the new chief of tactical as she senses his attention then looks back at Kizlev::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods to Rhianna, looking into her eyes, feeling strangely frustrated now:: CMO: Compared to what they're facing now, I'd say those are better circumstances. Can we do anything more to make their situation more comfortable?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:: gaze narrows slightly as he examines the CNS::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: interesting :: returns his attention back to the scans of the planet::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::'concentrates' on Keret's emotions as he seems to be giving an unpleasant confession but her head starts hurting::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::arches an eyebrow up, then looks to Tayla:: COM: Keret: Geothermal energy? My people on Andoria are very much involved in the use of such a resource. Did something go wrong in the process?

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: We have reviewed our data and cannot find a relationship between our drilling and this result.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the XO.::  XO:  I do not believe the geothermal energy is what is causing this problem.  Geothermal energy does not cause pollution, nor does it cause any greenhouse effects.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::eyes widen slightly thinking about Andor succumbing to such a problem, but knows the planetary geography is quite different::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: Actually, I would like to send a filter masks down with the next supply of medicines. To help combat the air pollution.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  It may however be the result of their poisonous gases that are venting from the planet.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: With your President's permission, could we obtain a copy of that data for analysis. The more scientists we have looking at this problem, the greater our chances of preventing destruction.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::brings up the latest scans of the platforms and looks at them in great detail::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  And I am picking up debris from the destroyed geothermal drilling plants on my planetary scans.

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: ::Looks to his left and nods:: Of course Commander; it will be sent immediately.

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: Commander, our council understands the effect underway to assist us.  We do have an augmented evacuation list if suffice vessels are available.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::finishes her message to the closest independent freighters, asking very diplomatically if they could help with the atmospheric debris problem::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: Masks, medicine...whatever they need, and whatever we can spare, by all means. It will be up to you to decide, doctor. CSO: Lieutenant, the minute we get that data from Keret, have your specialists look it over with extreme clarity.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles up at Kizlev as she hears about the augmented list of evacuees

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  I will review the data from Keret myself, Sir.  I'm anxious to see it.  Did he say when he would be sending it?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::turns to the doctor::  CMO:  Let me know the coordinates of the newest supplies and I will have them beamed to the previous place on Morngu.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: it would appear commander the platforms hit pockets of intense heat and the resulting escape of steam destroyed the platforms

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: Please add to your computations our fleet which can evacuate 2700.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks seriously at Rhianna:: CNS: It sounds good, but I hope it doesn't come down to evacuation. None of this seems like a natural occurrence to me. I can't say why I feel that is.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Is it possible that the effect we are seeing now is the cumulative result of those platforms releasing that pressure?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::reports to his assistants in Sickbay to add masks in the last load:: CNS: Shall do.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head as she listens to the latest reports::  XO:  I believe your hunch is proving to be correct.  I wonder if we could 'plug' the holes?  ::listens to the next communication::

Host Keret says:
@::Turns to his right surprised; then stands at attention and nods::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Is that so. Simply miscalculation...or something more? I wonder...

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::adds Keret's numbers to her total list of vessel capacities::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: I am beginning to think Commander that there is more going on hear that meets the eye.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  Geothermal energy would not cause the core to slow down.  It could create potential dangerous gases that would vent into the breathable air of the planet, but it would not cause these devastating reactions.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks up at the view screen, wondering what's gotten Keret to stiffen up::

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: I've been directed to suggest that perhaps a face to face meeting between you and me might improve our coordination. ::Said stiffly::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::'monitors' Keret's emotions as well as she can, wondering::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the CSO and sinks deep into thought::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CTO:  This could be a natural phenomenon that is occurring.  I need to see that data to determine if there is anything that they have done to cause this.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Sends the coordinates of the supplies over to the CNS:: CNS: The last one is ready to beam down.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: There has to be something we are missing?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks quickly up at Kizlev not completely trusting and whispers to him::  XO:  Sir...I am sensing a great amount of nervousness.   I am not sure if he is not saying something and only wants you to know?  ::continues to 'stay' on Keret::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Listening to the conversation and smirks a little and thinks to himself:: Self: Maybe they upset their fire god, presuming the have one.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::glances at Rhianna, then gazes back up, taken aback by the request:: COM: Keret: That is agreeable. Shall we arrange the meeting right away? Perhaps here on our ship?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CNS:  Just simply plugging the holes will not initiate core start-up.  It needs to be jumpstarted.  
CTO:  I'm hoping the data they give us is complete.  If they have tried to hide anything or have deleted something, it could take weeks to figure it out.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: That’s time they don’t have.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
ALL:  I still say our best solution would be what Chief Delgado and I have come up with.  It's our best hope at saving this planet.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DATA ON THE MORNGU GEOTHERMAL DRILLING IS RECEIVED BY THE DUBLIN

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
ALL:  I'm receiving the data now, and looking it over.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Sir I concur with the CSO, I reviewed there data and it appears sound.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks over his shoulder at Tayla and nods, then looks back to Keret on the screen:: CNS: Good, the spirit of cooperation is amongst us today...

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN BEAMED TO THE PLANET.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
Out loud:  This .. is going to take a while.  ::Calls for assistance from her science department, and splits the data into sections hoping that will help speed the review.::

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: I've just been informed that the supplies have been safely received.

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: That is acceptable. I will meet with you on your vessel.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Keret: Excellent. We are at your disposal. Now...about that meeting?

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: Should I take a shuttle to you?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns to Tayla:: CSO: Can we safely establish transporter lock?

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
XO:  Affirmative, Commander.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: With your permission sir I’ll make the necessary arrangements for our guest’s arrival and prepare the conference room. Anything specific you want done?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns to Rhianna:: CNS: Counselor, inform transporter room 2 that we're beaming up a guest. COM: Keret: Transmit to us your coordinates, and we'll transport you aboard.

Host Keret says:
@::Leans over and nods vigorously:: COM: Kizlev: Sending them now; please wait two minutes for me to get there.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: Sir, I would like to remind you that the ship's gravity is at its norm, and not that of Advisor Keret's

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::comms the transporter chief to advise him that the Morngu will need to be beamed up::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CMO:  Perhaps Advisor Keret needs to be given an environmental suit?  ::Grins.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CSO::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Yes, have the honor guard on deck 5 prepare VIP quarters with optimal gravity settings for the Morngu. ::turns to Kavanaugh:: CMO: Doctor, we're going to need to increase gravity again. Bring G-force settings to 1.7 incrementally.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Aye sir ::nods to duty TO and heads for the TL::

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::Is slightly taken aback:: CSO: That doesn't seem like proper etiquette...

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::comms the Honour guard to start making the necessary arrangements as he enters the TL::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
::Whispers.::  CMO:  Why not?  He didn't seem to care about the other people on the planet?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
XO:  Shall I greet with Mister Keret?

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Sets the ships gravity to increase::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: On second thought, doctor. Localize the increased gravity to deck 5. ALL: We'll conduct the meeting in the VIP quarters with Keret.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
CSO: He's a hothead diplomat, they're all like that, but that doesn't mean we should go down to their standards.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
TL: Deck 5

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Adjusts the ships gravity to the specific location::

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CMO:  There's nothing wrong with environmental suits.  I've been in plenty of them.  Of course I would prefer it if mine was pink.  ::Winks.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Have the transporter room beam Keret directly to his quarters. We'll both go and greet him. Hope you can steel yourself for another gravity jaunt.

CMO_Ens_Kavanagh says:
::smiles:: CSO: I'll remember that when it's your birthday.

CSO_LtJG_Daniels says:
CMO: Good!  Thank you!  ::Smiles.::

Host Keret says:
@COM: Kizlev: I'm ready Commander.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::her shoulders sag slightly at the thought of increased gravity::  XO: I will endeavor to endure...Sir.  And yes sir, right away.  Transporter Chief:  Please beam Advisor Keret directly to the coordinates I am sending.  They will be in his VIP quarters.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::exits the TL to be greeted by his senior chief::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: MINISTER KERET IS BEAMED TO DECK 5

Host XO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::walks past the CSO towards the TL:: CSO: Be careful what you wish for, Lieutenant. The last ship I served on, when I first arrived, the bridge was painted in pink.
