=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10509.04 - "Know thy Enemy, part V"=/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara remains in orbit of Nova Pax colony, in the middle of the Romulan Neutral Zone. Their purpose is simple, aid a brand new Romulan-Federation colony.
Host SM_Lilia says:
However, two of the crew remain missing. Apparently they were the victims of a transporter accident. But a glimpse of hope was given by the CSO and OPS as they discovered the transporter problem may not have been what it seemed . . .
Host SM_Lilia says:
In the mean time, the Captain returns from a one-hour talk with Starfleet command

CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Erm... Think so... ::moves out of the shuttle::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::turns to the CO as he enters the bridge:: CO: Welcome back sir... ::ponders for a moment::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::exits the shuttle and walks to the TL along with the CTO:: CTO: I wonder what's wrong.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CO: Sir I was just sending some of the crew on a rescue mission to recover our missing crewmembers...
Dr_Greene says:
::Looks around as the CO enters and makes his call, then turns his attention to the other entering officer, noticing the slightly red face of the person::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: grumbles slightly then motions for the XO to join him:: XO: Thanks
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: gets out of his seat abandoning the shuttle and heading for the nearest TL ::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Hears the captains call and gets up, looking at Susie.:: Susie: I am sorry little one, but I need to respond to this call. Please stay here and scan the plasma as much as you can. We will check the information later. Can you do that please?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::Moves to the Captain's Ready Room::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<M_Anderson>TO: Don't worry, they are just ...assessing your loyalties ::watches as the 4 nod:: TO: Now if you don't mind, follow me
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters the RR just after the CTO and takes a seat::
Dr_Greene says:
::Takes out his medical Tricorder and scans OPS:: OPS: Hang on..
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: enters the ready room and stands beside the table ::
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: OPS is just babbling, not making any sense
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::nods to Anderson and slowly lowers his hand before following him out the door::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::stays up although there are chairs present and crosses his hands, sighing:: Self: I hate to go back on a mission
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::wonders what the Captain has been talking about for over an hour, nods to Greene and enters the RR loitering towards the left wall::
Dr_Greene says:
::Sees the readings:: XO: Lieutenant, tell the captain mister Tar can't make it to the meeting... ::Turns to the OPS again:: OPS: Follow me to sickbay at once..
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Without waiting for a response he sighs once and makes his way to the captain's ready room.::
Host M_Anderson says:
@::moves out and into a cave-like corridor. Finally ending up in a room filled with machinery on the sides. In the centre there is a huge round machine. 5 strapped Klingons sit around it. There is an empty seat::
Dr_Greene says:
::Leaves the bridge, leading Tar to the TL:: TL: Sickbay!
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: enters the bridge grumbling quietly :: self: what’s up the captains nose this time? Forget where the bathroom is? :: stands outside the captains ready room and pushes the button waiting for a reply ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::notices the silence:: CO: Sir... what is this all about?
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 Door: Enter!
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::After a short walk he arrives at the ready room and enters is, looking at the people who have arrived already.::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::Looks around:: Anderson: Now that's what I like to see.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: recoils at the sharpness of the captains reply, then opens the door entering nervously ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: looks around the room :: All: everyone here? That can be anyway...
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: finds himself a space ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: I realize time is short so i will cut to the chase
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Anderson: That's a nice collection you've got, how long did it take you to get it?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Sits down at the nearest empty chair::
Host M_Anderson says:
@::raises an eyebrow: TO: You are quite the character. Not only do you not resist a brain wash as you appear to enjoy it. These guys .. easy we invited all the races to the colony. No one wanted to be left out
Host M_Anderson says:
TO: Now if you would take a seat? I hear it’s painless
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: thinks to himself: why do I get the feeling the captain is going to offer me yet another tempting opportunity to have my brains blown out for Starfleet ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: I have been in conversation with Starfleet command, and the short of it is I have been reassigned temporarily to another matter so you will be continuing this mission without me
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Anderson: Just out of interest, what exactly makes you think I don't want to join your army?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::stands emotionless at the side of the room::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: As a result it leaves me with some urgent matters to clear up before I go
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: looks round stunned ::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::looks around, somewhat surprised by the captain's announcement::
Dr_Greene says:
::Enters sickbay with Tar, and gestures him to sit down on a biobed:: OPS: Let's see what's up... ::Activates the biobed's medical scanners for more accurate results::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
self: wish I could pull strings for a holiday :: frowns ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
_ XO: Lieutenant Pazoski step forward
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::remains gesture less::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: looks at the XO, anxious ::
Host M_Anderson says:
@::just looks at the TO and shakes his head:: TO: I trust my aids, and I will trust the machine even more. The chair please? ::points::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::expects the XO to get a promotion::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::looks somewhat surprised from his vantage point and steps up to the CO, bringing himself smartly to attention::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: As I’m sure you are aware I have always believed your current rank to be something of an anomaly… and an undeserved one at that
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: Today I have an opportunity to begin to rectify that situation and get you closer to the rank you should be
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: for you are hereby demoted
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: mouth drops, stunned ::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::almost raises an eyebrow at the CO but remains motionless::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::shrugs and takes a seat remembering why he joined SF, to fight. He also remembers how he had been put in charge of security as soon as he came aboard the Elara meaning that his chances of seeing any close quarter battles were limited at best::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Self: You have got to be -ing me!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::is stunned by the captains last words still ringing in his ears, "demoted" - "demoted" - "demoted"::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: Sorry... I meant promoted - slip of the tongue, promoted to Lieutenant Commander :: hands the XO a box-o-pips :: its the same ones I took off you
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: frowns quickly at the CO :: self: ........I hate you
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: A metallic head thing is lowered into the TO's brain. Quietly the room fades away and he finds himself on an alien boat in a red sea
Dr_Greene says:
::Nods slowly as the results start coming in:: OPS: Do you have any allergies?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::takes the box-o-pips from the CO and manages a smile:: CO: Thank you... sir, I will do my best not to lose them this time...
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: Congratulations
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::Remembers his argument with the CTO about the response times of the security teams and how he resented the insinuation he made about Iain not giving clear enough orders::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::gets up to his feet and applauds:: XO: Congratulations sir!
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: OPS keeps mumbling with no sense
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: stands and applauds the XO ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: Step forward Mr McKnight
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: A voice echoes in his head "Who are you?" "What do you want?" It keeps getting louder
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::walks forward to the CO::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::feels somewhat awkward with the crew applauding him but steps back to the side of the room again and waits::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: looks at his collar, getting the feeling this will be the last time he sees pips on it ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: I don't know about you but I find the rank Lieutenant Junior Grade a bit of a mouthful
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::thinks "what the?"::
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION...Louder and louder, the voice wants an answer
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::is feeling like he's just about to swallow an apple::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::addresses the voice in his head:: Voice: Who are you? Mr Smith?
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: So in order to make my life simpler and prevent me from suffering from repetitive strain injury when entering your rank in the crew reports you are to be promoted to Lieutenant with immediate effect :: holds out a box-o-pips tantalisingly close to the CEO ::
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: The voice goes on, louder and louder, the TO starts feeling the effects, he can hardly hear himself think
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::takes the box and nods to the CO:: CO: Thank you sir, I'll do my best as always.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: snatches the box away before the CEO can get them :: CEO: however there is a condition attached
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: rolls eyes :: self: if he asks you to clean his room for a month just say no...I’ve heard the stories 
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::is surprised with the COs action and is yet again stunned:: CO: Err, sir?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::starts to get fed up with this increase in volume and shouts:: Voice: If you want an answer I'll answer but you got to be quiet for a sec!
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: it's on the condition that you also accept the position of 2nd Officer of the USS Elara, in addition to your regular duties
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: Either in response or thanks to the TO's betazoid genes the voice lowers volume, but the questions keep being repeated
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::his stunned face turns into a smile::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: hands over the pips :: CEO: deal?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Voice: That's better, now one question at a time please.
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: The volume increases again "Who are you?" "What do you want"
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::nods one more time and takes the pips:: CO: Deal sir ..... and thank you again.
Dr_Greene says:
::Keeps going over the results, trying to rule out things, then thinks it better to pull up Tar's medical record::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks somewhat confused, but also amused by the informal promotions today.::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: Congratulations Lieutenant
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: applauds the CEO ::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::claps for the CEO::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::claps aloud::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::slowly starts to clap too::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::returns back to his original seat with his box::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Voice: ALRIGHT ALREADY! I heard you! I'm Iain Sollo, I come from Dublin on Earth. What I want is the chance that Starfleet never gave me.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: looks at the door, ready to leave ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: OK everyone, if you have no questions? we....  YOU have work to do
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: The voices subdue. The boat inexplicably ends in a beach. A ladder is put down towards the sand
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: lets out a sigh :: self: i live to serve another day :: turns to leave ::
Dr_Greene says:
::Frowns:: Self: Okay... ::Turns his attention back to Tar for a moment, thinking how best to proceed::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Voice: I assume this is where I get off?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::nods, gets up and looks over to the XO, as to ask to leave for the shuttle bay together.::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::puts on his pips on his way out of the RR::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
All: Well in that case I’ll meet all of the original members of the away team on the shuttle... we will have time to gloat later ::smiles and leaves for the shuttle bay::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:; walking towards the closest TL ::
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::catches the CTO before he manages to escape:: CTO: Mr. Starbuck.  I'm worried what you will find down there, make sure you take ample security with you.
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: No answer
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: watches his motley crew depart - without him this time ::
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: Captain, will you be remaining on the Elara while you have been... reassigned?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::decides to try his luck and climb down the ladder::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Sir... I will make sure this mission turns out right, or I’ll resign from Starfleet… dead… or alive... ::serious face::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: negative, I’ll be catching a shuttle in 30 minutes
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Preferably alive.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::enters the shuttle bay and starts walking to the shuttle:: Out loud: We have no time to lose, we have people to find and Ions to scan.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Aye sir ::leaves for shuttle bay::
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: Understood sir, with your permission then I would like to take another visit to the distress calls location, there is something I need to find out, I should be able to return before you leave, or at the very least shortly after.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: As soon as he reaches the sand, the scenery changes, we are now in a big city. lots of vehicles going every where in a very dirty street
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Sollo starts getting really really hungry
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 XO: Do whatever you feel you have to
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::rubs his stomach and decides to look around for somewhere to eat::
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods:: CO: I will see you when you get back then sir. Save travels ::turns to leave::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: enters the shuttle bay and gets back into his seat in the shuttle ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
_ XO: just take care of my ship, and my crew
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: A dirty child, a human girl about 6 passes him. She has huge brown sweet eyes. She is eating a chocolate cake and offers a small piece to the TO
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::enters the shuttle and takes his seat::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Quickly walks over to the XO, since he clearly has not seen his nod.:: XO: Sir, are we heading to the shuttle bay?
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::activates the OPS/Engineering console on the shuttle:: CTO: Ok Mr. Starbuck I am starting the pre-launch system check. ::pushes a few buttons::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::takes the cake from the kid and wolfs it down:: Girl: Thanks kid, now go leave me alone, I'm busy.
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CSO: Yes, I think we should oblige whoever wants us to bring this sphere to the cube.  After all we are all about exploration and the unknown...
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CSO: Go collect the sphere from the Science lab, I will get Ensign Lost and the shuttle warmed up.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The piece is not enough, he is still hungry, perhaps more than before. The kid has a larger piece. She takes a bench near by and nibbles on it
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Oww.. getting commanding already? ::smiles::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: opens a locker and removes a second phaser from it, hiding it beneath the spare clothes in his travel bag ::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods to that as he walks along with him:: XO: Very true... commander, but something makes me uneasy in this matter, too much uncertainty. But I will return with the sphere as soon as I can. ::Turns down another corridor to head for the science lab::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::approaches the Kid and sits beside her:: Girl: I think you got something I want.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
CTO: Not really, I just think we have wasted a lot of time on this and those guys on the surface need our help. Where in Christ’s surname is the FCO? ::is in a rush to get flying::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Probably filling blank pages in his diary
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:; swivels his seat :: right here Mr. McKnight ::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: puts on his scary face ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Need that eye check?
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The sweet girl looks at him with a nice smile but does not speak and keeps nibbling her cake
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
FCO: Ah, Mr. Taylor, didn't see you come in. Get us ready for departure then, all engineering systems report ready.
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::watches the CSO disappear down another corridor:: Self: It might only make you uneasy ensign but it scares the living daylights out of me... ::heads off towards the shuttle bay::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Girl: Go on, give me some more cake.
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*Ens Lost*: Pazoski to Lost, report to the shuttle bay immediately, we are taking a little trip.
Host Girl says:
@TO: My mother made it, I had not eaten in a week ::keeps eating, the cake piece is half way by now::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
CEO: roger. all: please ware your safety belts at all times, no smoking in the shuttle while in flight, your pillows and life jackets are located under your seat. Exits are located to the side but I don’t recommend opening them during flight unless you enjoy depressurisation. :: turns with a smile :; all: everyone ready? right! :; smiles:: self: lets get rolling
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He finds his way to the science lab fairly quick as he transfers the sphere to a special container at takes it with him. With the sphere close to him like that, he feels more uncomfortable as before... somehow forgetting he left Susie in sickbay, all by herself.::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::smiles widely:: FCO: All ready..
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Girl: Do I look like I care? I'm hungrier than you. Give it! ::Grabs the cake and pushes the girl away::
Host Girl says:
@::starts crying::
Host Girl says:
@ACTION: The TO is no longer hungry. But was it worth it?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::wolfs down the cake and walks away ignoring the girl crying on the ground::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As quickly as he got to the science lab, he makes his way down to the shuttle bay, riding various TL's and walking numerous corridors.::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: As the TO walks the girl continues crying, her cry is audible for meters and meters. As he moves he sees a lot of poverty, people in rags
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
FCO: Will you do the honour and inform the bridge of our status Mr. Taylor.
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: It starts snowing, it is cold, even in the SF uniform. An open land vehicle lays before the TO
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 *Duty Ops*: Is my yacht ready for departure?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::approaches the vehicle and peers inside::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS>*CO*: Aye sir, we just don’t have a pilot for  you
XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::enters the shuttle bay and sees Lost prepping the Runabout, wonders how he got here so fast:: Lost: Everything ready Mr. Lost?
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Its empty, spacious and above all warm. the control seems rather simple. you just tap the buttons saying what direction to move and what speed
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 OPS: That wont be needed I’ll be going alone
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
*Bridge*: this is the FCO, the away team is ready for departure. Requesting permission to launch and open the shuttle bay doors

Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: A map is in the screen but the buildings and roads are unnamed
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:

FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:

TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Self: HA! Some use this map is. Let's see what happens if I go........ This way. ::turns a corner::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
All: guess its time we left.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::enters the runabout and takes a seat:: Lost: Lets get going Mr. Lost, we have a lot to get done today.

FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
