Host Tim says:
LCARS: Two years ago the Kantrell had requested help for their home world Lyat IV due to catastrophic environmental collapse. Many nearby civilizations responded and were able to stabilize Lyat's environment.

Host Tim says:
A year ago Lyat IV started showing signs of environmental instability again and the leaders don't think the planet will be able to survive this time.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::smiles at the CTO and walks over to him:: CTO: Did you need something?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles back:: CIV: Nope just glad to see you.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Self: The starboard nacelle is getting a tad too hot.  Fixum: Tell the nacelle maintenance squad, to increase the coolant ratios in the coils. And we better start replicating another 5 tons of the stuff.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: Very well schedule it in, it should prove to be an enlightening chat.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::tilts her head at the CNS, then shrugs:: CTO: Oh.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: It’s nice to see you.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
<Fixum>: CEO: I am on it Chief. ::orders five tons of Delgado's mud, special cuvee, to be replicated::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: Yes you are, and it’s nice to see you.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::in a lowered tone and raises one curved eyebrow::  CTO:  Very.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::dreads being alone with the CNS::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Begins to pull up long range sensors, and pulling sensor data.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Tayla.  ::smiles to her friend as she sits down next to Rhianna who is at science two::   I was just looking over current sensor records.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
TO: Anything to report Lieutenant?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::sits down on his chair and stretches his sore back::

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CTO: But you always see me.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Smiles at CNS.::  CNS:  Thank you.
CTO:  Long range sensors are detecting traces of ion trails.  I'm running a match on them now.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Checks database.::  CTO:  The computer check indicates they are most likely Cormanii, Sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Very well.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Takes a deep breath.::  CNS:  Thanks for covering for me.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Thank you Lieutenant.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::now confused and heads over to the CSO and CNS::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Glances at Lt. Chitwa.::  CIV:  How are you doing?  ::Stares up and then returns her eyes to the console displaying the long range sensor data.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::let's her gaze drift to the Klingon and his friendliness towards the Caitian, has to wonder if his anxiousness at her presence is dislike or dread::   CSO: Not a problem.   It has been unusually quiet so far.  I have been conducting more research into the Kantrell, but the information is scant.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CSO: Oh, alrrright. How's the worrrk coming along?

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  I'll continue to try to match the existing data on long range sensors.  Some of the data was not Kantrell, but the computer checks matched with Cormanii.
CIV:  Never a dull moment in science.  ::Winks and lets out a small chuckle.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: Can we have dinner sometime?

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CIV:  Looks like you made a friend.  ::Smiles.::

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::blinks and looks over at the CTO:: CTO: Wha? ....with me?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::blushes:: CIV: Yes you, who else?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::her eyes blaze with the mention of Cormanii, remembering her mother, Tessa's, encounter with them::  CSO: Those are a people we should avoid.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::listens into the background chatter::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::seeing that the ship is running fine with the new configurations leaves ME and enters his office:: Self: Hopefully OPS will have done his homework.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CTO: I...I just thought...::blinks:: you know... you and the Counselorrr.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::eyes almost pop out:::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  And why is that?  Prior experience indicate using caution?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::lowers voice:: CIV : Eh no Rhianna and I are acquaintances, I’ve come to trust her.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Calls up information on the Cormanii:: CTO: Sir, you might be interested to know that the Cormanii appear to be very fierce fighters from the federations encounters. Also another interesting note is that they are very well armed.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::seeing nothing new in the LCARS portal ponders if reporting it or playing coy::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::laughs::  CIV:  Our tactical officer loves to spend time around me I have noticed.  ::smiles wickedly at the Klingon and then turns her attention back to the sensors::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Wonders how her fiancé is doing down in engineering.::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Thank you Leftenant, is there any reason they should be in this part of space?

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CTO: Ah... well, I mean if you want to...then it's okay with me.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles:: CIV: It would be a pleasure.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CTO:  Checking navigational records and tracking, Sir.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All:  And they exude radiation.  A very very odd and dangerous species that little is known of.  Their genetic background is most interesting.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::quietly emerges onto the bridge, looking around from left to right, his antennae moving with his purple eyes::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::notes the Captains arrival:: CO: Morning Skipper.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CTO: Not sure sir. But i will continue to investigate into this further. It is interesting for sure.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Begins to pull up information.::  CTO:  LCARS/Intel are advising they are virtual pirates and that they prey on the weak.  Perhaps they are looking for a new base near Federation space, Sir.  Just an educated guess of course.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::looks up at the CO::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
TO: Very curious.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::catches Kizlev's eyes, a deep seriousness in them, but her lips turn up into a smile just for him::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  That is most interesting.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::realizing the importance of the Dublin's mission decides to report the deed:: *CO*: Ship's running fine as long as we have coal to burn, boss. In the meanwhile I am still waiting for OPS Reports on Kantrell's technology to give you my analysis.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Very curios that they should be in this sector just when we are having problems with the Kantrell.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods, thankful the CTO didn't snap-to with the "captain on the bridge" routine:: CTO: Good morning. Bridge is still yours. I need a word with your security comrade over there. ::walks over to the TO's station::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::she continues on:: All: My mother Tessa, the CMO at the time, was a genetics specialist.  The Cormanii have quite a mixed background, some Terran, that make them seem to be a nomadic species.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the Skipper::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CTO:  Aye, it is, Sir.  Their presence here does pose questions.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CTO: Perhaps they are in secret negotiations with the Kantrell?

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
Thinks to self:  That's an interesting theory the Tactical Officer has.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
TO: that thought crossed my mind, but why and what are they negotiating for? That’s the question.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*CEO*: Coal... ::realizes he means antimatter:: ...oh, right. I think we'll be needing a nacelle swap after these last few hard treks. Keep at it, Chief.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CTO:  Well if they prey on the weak, Sir, my guess is they are not looking to negotiate.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All: The Cormanii are very tall...close to 2 meters from the few we know of.  And very dark skinned, reminiscent of a tribe in Africa, earth.  Almost a shiny black.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CSO: Perhaps, but maybe the Kantrell are under the false assumptions that they want to negotiate.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CSO: Yes, but they may have something of value that the Kantrell want or need.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
TO: Welcome to the alpha shift, lieutenant. I trust your transfer from Earth went smoothly?

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Nods to both the CTO and TO.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*CO*: They told me they have amazing drydocks on Pacifica, I'd schedule a couple months worth of maintenance if I were you Captain.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CO: Aye Sir. Thank you. It is great to serve aboard the Dublin.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  Is there anything in the history that suggests that either of these species are the bartering type, do you know?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All:  From my mother's research and information from medical headquarters they seem to be unusually resistant to diseases and muscular, powerful people.  A phaser would be advised rather face to face confrontations.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  It sounds to me like the Cormanii don't need the Kantrell.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::thinks it maybe a good idea to shoot first and then ask questions::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
TO: So tell me... ::turns and looks around:: ALL: ...what is all this I'm hearing about the Cormanii? I once traded blows with them as a  junior officer on this very ship. So let's hear the short version.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::orders some more special brew from the replicator. and reviews engines status one more time::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::concentrates for a minute:: CSO: I seem to remember that my mother told me that a certain Ferengi...Pug?...was involved with them so they may do some trading.  Especially since they are nomadic, but they are very secretive.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
TO:  The only thing I can think of that the Kantrell might have that the Cormanii may be interested in is a cure for the virus the Cormanii have.  That's all I'm able to come up with at this time.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CSO: Perhaps the Kantrell do have something the Cormanii do need. We just have to figure out what that is. If our theory is even sound.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::with her sensitive hearing overhears Kizlev's comment and remembers that he served long ago with her mother::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::makes sure the door is closed before sipping then feels the rush coming from the chemicals, and new awareness and energy flowing through his body::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*CEO*: I'm biased towards the Nesrun Shipyards near Andor, myself. But unless you enjoy mountain climbing for shore leave, I'll see about getting us to Pacifica. No promises, however.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::reads a previous file of her mother's::  CSO: Several years ago, the Gryphon crew was exposed to a deadly virus.  The Cormanii contracted it also, but they were much more resistant.  Not surprising since they are not harmed by the radiation that they emit.  We would have to be given medicine if we were to risk exposure near them.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CSO: Then perhaps that is it. Maybe the virus is a bit more serious on the Cormanii.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::listens, thinking these guys don't sound very nice::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  I can have my science teams work on a hypospray for the immunity based on the current information on file.  I'll send that information to my science team to coordinate those efforts with Medical.  ::Sends the information to science.::  ... Just in case.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
CO: I am partial to the Nesrun Shipyards myself sir. Would be nice to visit the home world again.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::feeling refreshed and energized again, makes sure the glass is totally disposed in the replicator before heading out back to ME:: *CO*: Oh well a man has got to try sir. I better keep on working down here if you want to keep abusing my engines this way. Delgado out.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::reads aloud her mother's comments from a file::  All: Terran DNA, Southeastern Asia, Gaelic... ::thinks of Gael::  ...Semitic, a fraction Slavic.  Farther DNA comes from Romulus, Cardassian and Klingon genetics.  ::looks over at Wolf for a second::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Reviewing the details of the records.::  ALL:  It states here, if exposed to the virus, transporters should not be used.  It appears to manifest the illness.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks back at the Andorian TO:: TO: Yes...perhaps it would be nice... ::hears his words sound unenthusiastic, thinking there's not much left for him on the home world::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::starts checking each station out on his tour seeing if anybody needs support::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::listens intently::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All: Not until Dr Tessa Jakiel fired on a Cormanii vessel and destroyed it had they know a defeat.  From that it was found their vessels are composed of a variety of parts and systems from other cultures...like their genes.  Some are original and unique design.  Like Romulans they favor disruptors. Much more efficient and deadly.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::looks over at Wolf and tilts her head in thought::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  Wait, are you saying that their genetic structure is part of their vessels?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All: Everything points to a nomadic species.  It is thought their home world is far from any other civilization, so developing technology would have been more difficult without some trade.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes, the very same incident that led me to conduct on inquiry with Tessa after I first arrive here. Though I suppose she told you that already. ::grins at her, compartmentalizing everything he's hearing about his old Cormanii foes::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head::  CSO: No.  The parts of their ships have been obtained from other cultures 'like' their genes show.

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Shakes her head acknowledging the CNS.::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods slowly to Kizlev, remembering how terribly upset Tessa would be talking about the Cormanii::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
All:  It is hypothesized that their home world is probably bombarded with more radioactivity and thus the Cormanii developed the strange exudation themselves.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Sir, we may need to get inoculated from that virus.  We would not know we had it until we went through the transporters and then it morphs and becomes deadly.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::keeps on touring::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS/CTO: Pity we're not carrying quantum torpedoes like this ship did at the time. ALL: So, we have a Cormanii connection here. You all realize this thins out our chances of ending this peacefully? I will not negotiate with the Cormanii.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Like the flu vaccine, it takes time for our bodies to build antibodies so we need it ahead of time to exposure.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
ALL: Nor will they even bother to negotiate with us. They will shoot on sight.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: I believe it prudent to shoot first and ask questions later with the Cormanii.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::wonders what the Cormanii have against kitties::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes, I've been inoculated with an older version of the vaccine. I hope they ironed out the side effects since that time.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Oh, yes, you would have been.  Shall I speak to medical and bring those inoculations?  ::asks since she did serve on the Arondight as the chief medical for a short time::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: I think it prudent to conduct constant tactical sweeps of the surrounding area.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns to Chitwa, glad to see her back on the alpha shift again:: CTO: Exactly what I would do, Wolf. You might want to consider converting some of our torpedoes into antimatter mines... CNS: By all means. The sooner, the better.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::offers a smile to the CO::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods and rises immediately::  CO: Can the Caitian... ::looks Chitwa over briefly::  ...attend with me?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Excuse me, I will be back so we can confer further.  I have transferred my mother's files over to you also.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::gazes at Chitwa again, wondering why she reminds him so much of Mai Valentine...:: CIV: What do you say, Chitwa? Care to work with our zealous counselor on the vaccine?

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CO: Oh surrre....I have a bit of medical trrraining.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::tilts her head and gives Kizlev a certain intense look at his particular adjective of her as waits impatiently by the turbolift::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CNS:  Thank you, Ma'am.  I'll make sure I read everything here.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CSO:  It is quite...fascinating.  ::let's a grin spread over her face as she recalls how often the Vulcan doctor, Taurek, used that word and misses him::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Aye, it does seem quite interesting.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::enjoys taking a riling poke at his saucy half-Romulan mate, and knows she can sense it clearly from him::

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::heads over to the CNS::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Do you have any theories about our little trip to the future from two weeks ago?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::bites her lip, not being able to say something back to her Andorian, but will bide her time until tonight to let her opinion be known, smiles ever so sweetly but warningly at that Andorian::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CO:  Without any hard evidence, I'm afraid my theories would be just that.  Theories.  I can surmise that we got to close to the truth though.

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
CNS: Hi...I'm Chitwa. ::friendly smile::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CO:  Although the technology does appear to be too advanced fro the Kantrell.  They would not be able to develop that technology on their own, I do not believe.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::steps into the turbolift behind Chitwa::  CIV:  Yes, I recognize you.  You probably know I am Rhianna Jakiel?

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CNS: Yes ma'am.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Well, when we do find the truth, I'll be sure you and Gael get your overdue vacation to Pacifica. ::winks at her::

CSO_Ltjg_Daniels says:
CO:  The temporal disturbance faded quickly, but there appeared to be some degree of Starfleet and Vulcan influence there.  And yes, Sir.  I could use some shore leave, but duty first, Sir.

TO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Runs tactical sensor sweeps::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Lieutenant, resume command here. I'll be in the gym if I am needed. CNS: Rhianna, I'll be stealing your sword for practice, if you don't mind? ::grins as he goes to the turbolift:: No, of course you don't. ::enters the TL::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir.
