Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
XO: Timrok, something is going on and I don't like it. I want you to investigate and look in to Admiral lx, backround. Do not let anybody know your are doing so. I hope I am wrong but something is bothering me about her
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
@::his attenae twitch as he waits for the Elara crew. He is not upset however, it is not in his nature::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Heads towards the xit of the OL::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods at the irony of the CO's request - trying no to smile:: CO: i think... i might manage that, i assume your meeting with her on starbase hasn't improved matters between you
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
XO: I want to know everything about her, keep me informed as you learn, also before we leave on the BOP make sure that the Elara is secured I want to know everything that take place on her while she is docked
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
XO: you can say that
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::makes he way to the BOP quickly::

::notices the crew has all gathered outside the BOP::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CO: i will have the ships sensors set to log all access the crew makes in our absence - ill keep it discreet ::allows the CO and the others to leave before horridly setting up logging procedures and encryption routines - soon joining the others::
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
ACTION: Cmdr Trool is an not so young and not so thin Andorian. He is about 190 cm and stands waiting as the crew arrives
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Walks between the CO and the XO moments after they finish their conversation, she smiles at both of them before rushing towards the Whirlpool's airlock::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
XO: very good Commander
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Notices the fellow Andorian, wondering what part he has to play in this mission::
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
::just as he sees the Captain coming:: CO: Ah Captain, it is a pleasure to finnaly meet you. I am Commander Trool, your host for the past week
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: The pleasure is mine
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks up as Trool speaks and see the CO, XO and CIV::

All: The IKS Whirlwind stands ready for you. Her Captain, Ktoth will be arriving shortly to show you arround
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
All: In the mean time I must warn you, though the ship was lent to us. She is .. well, quite Klingon. You'll see what I mean when you get in
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
CO: Another thing...do you have questions about the mission?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::smiles as he knows what Trool means by that::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::raises and eyebrow at the commander:: 
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Feels somewhat unnerved at having to board a Very Klingon vessel::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::wanting to get a good look at the engines on the Whirlwind::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::can't remember ever seeing a Klingon vessel that wasn't very Klingon::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Passes the CNS on her way inside the ship, she mumbles something about Klingons as she disappears from view::
Jabba_99 (Jabba99@actdnet-206DF0FB.in-addr.btopenworld.com) has joined the conversation.
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
ACTION: They notice a Klingon approaching, wearing an uniform from the Klingon armada. He is a large person, about 160 cm but quite wide
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head and smiles slightly:: Self: perhaps the CIV is too accustomed to luxury
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: yes anything data or information we should know that would be helpful
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
<Ktoth> All: Greeting brave crew of the Elara. I am Ktoth, Captain of the ship you call Whirlind
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Nods gingerly towards Ktoth::
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
CO: I imagined you did. Follow me to my office, I'll leave your crew with Ktoth. ::whispers:: CO: they will be safe don't worry
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stands impassively and unimpressed::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: I know they will, it will be good for them ::grins::
Host Cmdr_Trool says:
::laughs:: CO: Come with me. ::goes to the nearest TL::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks at Ktoth for a moment, then tilts her head slightly acknowledging his greetings::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
ALL: Crew you are to cooperate and obey Ktoth's orders and instructions, I will be back shortly
Host Ktoth says:
::laughs, those close enough to sense his breathe notice he probably had too much bloodwine::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
Self: What's that supposed to mean?
Host Ktoth says:
XO: So You will be the ones taking care of my ship. I have killed many enemies with her!
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::follows Trool::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::grins at Kloths statement::  Self:  I do love Klingons.
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>::as they enter the TL and head up:: CO: This is quite a delicate mission. Even i don't have all the answers you seek.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
K'Toth: No doubt, and probably made many more, we are eager to... experience your vessel
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::listens to the XO and Ktoth::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: I understand completely anything you can provide will be helpful though
Host Ktoth says:
XO: Experience it !::laughs:: all: you must have many great battles with her! And if by chance you don't come back. Well I'll take good care of your Elara ::laughs like a mad man again::
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>::enters his office and offers the CO a seat:: CO: Here we can safely talk. What do you need to know?
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Feels unnerved at the Large Klingon's laughter::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::takes a seat in Trool's offfice::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::looks around at the Elara crew:: K'Toth: im sure you apreciate how reassuring that must be for us, please lead the way
Host Ktoth says:
ACTION: As they follow Ktoth into the Whirlwind, the first thing the notice is the smell. A strong smell to something fruity. Or maybe it's blood? Or rotten meat? or all of the above?
Host Ktoth says:
ACTION: The walls and floor are not that dirty, neither is the Tl as they make their way towards it
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::breathes deeply and fills his lungs with the foul stench - before trying not to vomit::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: what can you tell me about this pre warp species society and behavior, what type of people are they.
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>::looks at the Captain, his antennae put forward, waiting for questions he knows he probably can't answer::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Forces back a grimace::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::takes in a deep breath and grimaces slightly at the smell::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:: walks in and knows it will not take long to get used to the smell::
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>CO: They are an industrial society, barely out of the steam age. They are comparable to your early 20th century earth. Quite violent though.
Host Ktoth says:
ACTION: They are taken up  in the TL
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
K'Toth: one week seems like a very short time to learn to operate a ship, this will be a test of your ability to teach as much as our ability to learn
Host Ktoth says:
All: As we see we make an effort on keeping the ship operational and in prime shape! And we have specially prepared her for you. We know how you don't approve of some of our habits
Host Ktoth says:
XO: don't worry, you already know most of what you need. I have seen your holodeck simulations. Other than your safety protocols they are a perfect match
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Trool: this is going to be like learning and understanding Klingons for the first all over again sound like, you know how difficult that was in our history
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::surveys the ship - still unimpressed::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks content and smiles as she looks around::
Host Ktoth says:
ACTION: The crew enters the small bridge of the BOP. The smell is omnipresent, yet the bridge seems in order. There is only one fficer there that comes to attention when they enter
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Still slightly nauseated by the smell, but trying to take in the ship around him::
CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::takes a look around the bridge::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::glances around the bridge, still looking content::
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>CO: I am not versed in your history. Still, they have had several civilian wars throughout the planet. So they have an advanced prisoner system. That is why they took our people ... at leats thats what starfleet thinks
Host Ktoth says:
All: As I have told you, the consoles work exactly like the holodeck simulations you trained on
Host Ktoth says:
All: So you should be at home in our wondrous ship ::smiles widely:: XO: Hopefully one of this days I get the same treatment on your ship!
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
<Trool>: ok I and my crew will be up to this challenge, we will get to the bottom of this, please provide all data and information you have to my crew onboard before we depart, Thank you Commander
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods:: Ktoth yes it all looks very accurate :;walks to a nearby console :: right down to the..atmosphere.
Host Ktoth says:
<Trool>CO: My pleasure, I hope I could gop with you. Good Luck Captain  ::bows and his attenae bow with him::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Ktoth: i fear you may find our starships rather stale in comparison Captain
Host Ktoth says:
::laughs and taps Timrok on the back with a certain degree of stregth::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::stands up and exits Trool's officer heading back to the BOP to rejoin his crew::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::stifles a cough::
Host Ktoth says:
