=/\= =/\= =/\=USS Elara stardate 10306.15 “Friends, old and new”, part II =/\= =/\= =/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara remains docked at starbase 474 while her senior crew was sent on a special assignment aboard the IKS Whirlwind (Starfleet's name for the Klingon ship whose real name few humanoid species can pronounce)
Host SM_Lilia says:
The Whirlwind has just arrived on the Xinal system. She is cloaked and orbiting the fourth planet. Inside the crew of the Elara prepares for a simple search and rescue operation. But how simple will it really be?
Host SM_Lilia says:

CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stood at the unfamiliar tactical console, keeping a close eye on the cloaking device and the ships sensors::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::on bridge sitting in the rough Captains Chair of the BOP::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::is standing quietly at the back of the bridge::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::on the bridge standing at the engineering station::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>::feeling strangely comfortable at the simple controls of the BOP::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::touching his face with his fingers - trying to get used to the scales::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Sitting at the sciences station, for want of a more sophisticated, and less tactically oriented sensor suite::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Stands behind the operation console, she idly presses random unharmful buttons. Curious to the outcome::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: All is quiet in the Xinal system. Planets, moons, asteroids all quietly circling the mid-sized yellow star
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTON: In engineering an alarm goes off. The bridge has reported loss of lights
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
XO: gather an away team
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::looks around at the cause of the alarm::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::curses under his breath as the lights go down.  Begins running checks of the engineering systems::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods to the Captain::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Glances up curiously, she glances around nervously to see that she wasn't the cause to the failure in the light system::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::wonders exactly what a team from the federation were doing on this backwards world::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Ivanova notices she was the one to report the light failiure
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO,CIV,CSO your with me, get ready to depart
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Mutters softly, she quickly opens her console access log and begins reverting the changes she made::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Nods toward the XO::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Glances up as the last change is made, she turns to look at the XO and frowns:: XO: You're not serious, are you?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::is still quiet at the back of the bridge, deep in thought::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::looks at the CIV after her comment to Timrok::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CIV: i`ll forgive that comment as you’re new, but for you're future reference, im not in the habit of joking
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Stands up from his station, then self-consciously rubs his head::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::logs out of the tactical console:: XO: This is going to be an interesting trip ::smiles and makes towards the back of the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: how is the systems onboard our Klingon vessel?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
XO: Fine, whatever you say. ::She closes her console and moves towards the TL, she keeps her tounge checked for now::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Continues to fiddle with the newly formed horns on his head, grunting uncomfortably as he moves towards the Bridge hatch::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO:   Ok as far as I can tell with the exception of some lighting problems.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: so long as thats all I is ill be a happy man.. or Xinilian 
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: do the best you can, whatever you do keep the cloaking device operating at all times
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO:  Aye sir.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::waits at the bridge exit and politely waves the CIV forward:: CIV: After you ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::marches to the transporter::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Follows the XO::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
XO: Well lets just hope it doesn’t last long, i feel really uncomfortable in... this
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::She snorts and enters the TL, making no attempt to get friendly with this crew::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: your input...you sense anything?
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::reroutes power in an attempt to restore bridge lighting being careful not to disrupt the flow to the cloak::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::joins the others as they all make there way to the TR::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks up to the captain, doesn't speak at first, looking thoughtful::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots uncomfortably towards the TR:: CIV: I suppose you have been on lots of undercover missions before
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::arrives at the TR & pauses whilst the team gets into position::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods slowly:: CO: yes but I can't say who or what for that matter, and the second that is strong but unfamiliar to me
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
::Steps onto the Transporter Pad, scratches his head once more::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::She raises an eyebrow at the CTO, she narrows her eyes for a moment and sighs:: CTO: Perhaps.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::sets up a program to alert him of any changes in the cloaking system::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gets his position on the transporter padd and settles himself:: All: Lets just hope they keep the transporter in good condition ::smiles and waits for the inevitable::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
All: just a note of reminder to you all, as good as our desguises are - they are no different to the ones the team we are looking for were using so dont get too relaxed
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::still looks to be concentrating:: 
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* Captain, the away team is in position
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: understood, you may beam when ready
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::gives a cursory glance over the AT again:: T-Cheif: energise
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign Solie>::looks up to the XO then pushes the button::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The AT is beamed to a scarce forest. Between the trees, in the distance they can see the prison, it looks to be just 300 meters away
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::looks around at his surroundings then up at the sky::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::materialises and glance around::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Scans the area around him (visually)::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: It is night, the sky is clear black with several stars. No moons
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: Timrok, be mindful of your human behaviour and gestures, you must try your best to act like the locals
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* we`ll do our best
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@All: Or they will have to send in someone to rescue us...
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: see if you can narrow the search area, can we get any biosigns of the team being held?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::noticing the building:: All: that structure matches the prison layout CTO: ow many away teams do you think this place could hold? .. dont answer that
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Glances ahead at the Prison building::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::directs scans to the area around the aways team::  CO:  I can't pick up any sign of the team being held.  Only our AT thanks to the combadge.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@ALL:Remeber they wont be expecting us, be as imposing as you feel you can get away with - the fewer question they ask the holes in our story they'll find... lets go ::Marches off toward the prison::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: understood
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives the XO a smile and looks around, somewhere in his "costume" his tail gives itself a curtious twitch before following after the XO::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Follows the XO::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign Lost>::glances up at the CNS and whispers:: CNS: I think I'm going to join the Klingon fleet. I'm starting to like this
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: what to you think of serving on this Klingon ship?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::seems to come out of her trance for a moment and smiles down to where ensign lost is sitting:: FCO: I am glad you are enjoying this mission
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::continues his search with the sensors.  Wishing he has access to the Elara's more powerful sensor grid::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::approaches what should be the main entrance to the prison::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the CO with a grin on her face:: CO: I have served on Birds of Prey before sir, I find that it help sme to appreciate what luxury we have on starships when we return to them.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::follows briskly after the XO, thinking it was a really bad idea for him to come down here::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Approches the Main Entrance::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign  Solie>::arrives on the bridge having returned from the TR. Glances at Lost then takes a seat next to the CEO::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: ::chuckles:: then your saying you don't like it
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::glances over as Solie sits next to him.::  Solie:  So how do you like Klingon living Ensign?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: I find it refreshing and have a great interest in Klingons and thier culture ::smiles again:: But I do enjoy returning to simple luxuries.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@:: stops at the entrance :: and looks around to the AT::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: very well Counsler
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
ALL: maybe nobody's home? ::raises an eyebrow::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Near the entrance is a button and a small screen
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: Have you served on a klingon vessel before sir? 
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::arrives next to the XO and looks up at the imposing structure::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: no but have been on them before as a visitor
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::leans forward to the screen and pushes the button::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: On the small screen comes a blue reptilian face starting "We acept no visitors..." he stops as he notices the ranks on the uniforms
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::stands up from the Captain chair and begins taking leisurly walk around the darken red glow of the bridge::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: He continues "sir ... what at this time? We have no authorized visitors"
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::grins at the reptilian face on the screen :: We arent in the habit of anouncing our surprise inspections in advance, Open up!
Host SM_Lilia says:
<reptile>::gulps::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The doors open
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::smiles on the inside when he thinks about the XO's way with people::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::whispers:: All: so far so good
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::steps inside the door and looks around with an expectant expression on his face ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Another reptile, this one with a higher ranking uniform rushes to them
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::turns to his console as something flashes on the screen::  CO:  For a second I detected an engergy spike opisite us in orbit.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Frkl>XO: I am super intendent Frkl. As you imagine sir, this is highly unusual. I ...I wil need to see your IDs
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks very interested in what the CEO has to say::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::follows the XO inside, gazing around the room in a half vacant way::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Prepares his ID card::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: monitor it, if appears again see if you can determine what it could be
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@Frkl: about time! look i'll be straight with you we havre a very busy schedule ahead of us - i wont to get this over as quickly and as painlessly as possible, im sure you dont want us here any more than we want to be here ::thrusts his ID card at Frkl::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO:  The area also seems to have an unusually high neutron concentration::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::sets sensors to continually scan that area::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Frkl>::takes the ID then frowns looking at the XO then back at the ID::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::puts his hands on his hips::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Offers the Intendant his ID::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Frkl>::then quickly stands at attention making an elaborate gesture with his hand, waving it then making it rest in his left foremost horn:: XO: Welcome Commander Grtl. You can check what you like, i will give you my full cooperation
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: try to determine if the concentration is a naturally occurance in this system or perhaps from technology of some sort
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::scans the surrounding area looking for a source or other neutron concentrations finding none::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO:  I can find no sorce for the emision, artificially or natrually.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@ ::begins grinding his teeth:: Frkl:: i would expect no less from you Frkl - we have been monitoring your progresss, you are a fine officer :: turns in a visual introduction of the AT:: my colleagues and i will be focusing  on the conditions for New prisoners 
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<frkl>CSO: No need sir. I trust any one with Commander Grtl
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives frkl a stare for a moment, then looks away, dis-interested::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Frkl>XO: Oh we have had 50 new prisoners iin the last three days ::smiles with his pointy teeth:: XO: They have been properly tortured
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: keep monitoring the area something might change
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shuffles on her feet:: Self: So who are you
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO:  Yes sir.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@Frkl: Good, but we want to find that out for ourselves naturally - take us to them!
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Desperately tries to force back his contempt for this Intendant::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: Counsler? what is it?
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Frkl>::nods and rushes through several closed doors::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head:: CO: One of the beings, I know or at least I think I might know, and i can't pin point it.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::surprised by Frkl's sudden departure :: AT: i suppose we should follow him
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: coming from the surface?
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The AT finally arrives at a huge room with 6 cells. Looking into one of them, the XO sees a familiar face. Though with scales it is obviously ....
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::hurries after Frkl::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Frkl>XO: Do you want me to stay or you prefer to check them alone?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shrugs:: CO: Coming from this system I am guessing, but I can't say where.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::comes to rest behind the XO again::
CSO_LtJG_Farak says:
@::Stands beside the rest of the AT::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@Frkl: We must speak to them alone - your presence will influence there answers and we dont want that
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@<Lieutenant> ::manages to lift his head a little and looks at the group of people assembling outside his cell, through the fog of pain something seems familiar about one of them...::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO/CEO: The energy spike, you said it was oposite our orbit, i think this is connected to it
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::Looks up and embarrassed:: CO/CEO: Okay so I am talking crazy again, but I just get that feeling
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO/CNS:  The energy spike and the neutrino concentration could be a cloaked vessel of some sort.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::waits for Frkl to go away::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@<Lieutenant> ::shakes his head to dismiss the idea, but its definatly there, slightly aged, but a definate resemblance to someone he knows, or knew::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CNS: no nonsense! this is very helpful you shouldn't feel like your talking crazy
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Frkl is not on the room
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives the prisoners a critical eye, wondering how they are going to identify them::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CEO: That could be a possibility does a cloaked vessel give off neutron concentrations
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CEO: if it is a cloaked ship do you suspect that they know we are here?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::Peers closer at the more recognisable of the scaly faces:: Lt: Still getting into trouble i see
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@<Lieutenant> ::manages to drag himself to his feet, every bone in his body screams out in defiance, he looks around at his team and manages one grim smile, he waves a finger towards the XO:: XO: C...Cmdr Timrok?
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CO/CNS:  Unknown at this time.  I don't have enough information.  Though there have been no problems with our cloak since we arrived so we should still be undetected.
Host Shinar says:
@::A familiar voice calls out from the shadows:: ALL: You think he's in trouble? Ha. Buggers, you guys haven't seen anything yet ...
Host Shinar says:
@::Steps out of the shadows with several armed Gamleasians, all aiming weapons::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::nods:: Lt: i thought my days of getting you out of trouble were behind me
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
FCO_Lost: take our orbit away from the concentration slowly
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@<Peter_Pazoski> ::turns to the newcomers and sighs:: XO: And it looks like I can still get you into it...
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign Lost>CO: Aye sir. But not out of beaming range I hope
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives the XO a critical look:: All: Knew it couldnt be that easy...
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::looks around at Shinar:: Shinar: well well, a right old reunion we have ourselves here
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
<FCO_Lost>: keep us in beaming range but keep moving our orbit further away as possible of the concentration as possible
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
@::shakes his head in disappointment::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: I don't know if this being will harm us in anyway I just know it is doing well at trying to hide itself
Host SM_Lilia says:
