=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10812.20 - "Family Feud, Part II"=/\=

The USS Elara is orbiting 15 Lyncis II, the Caitian homeworld

Commander Gamar and two of his advisors are beginning a conversation with Captain Pazoski to give him directions on how to fulfil the mission the Elara came here to do.

The mission is simple; a small moon is under dispute between two families. Before physical hostilities begin, it is imperative that a peaceful solution is achieved.

Meanwhile, one of Gamar's advisor's, Dr Brarr will have another, classified mission aboard the Elara.

=/\= =/\= =/\= Begin Mission =/\= =/\= =/\=

Cmdr Gamar says:
::gets up and his tail moves as he speaks:: CO: To get to the point Captain. The heads of the two disputing families are on the Felix moon waiting for you. We can provide you and your crew with appropriate transport

Lt Yellow says:
::looks around main engineering for the CEO, carrying a PADD::

CO Capt Pazoski says:
Gamar: That would be appreciated.  Could you also provide us with some information about why this moon is in dispute?  Our command has been less than forthcoming.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::in his office::

Cmdr Gamar says:
CO: I suspect they will each give you their part of the story. But 5 generations ago, the moon belonged to just one family. By tradition, it should go to the eldest son. Unfortunately there were 2 of them, twins. We cannot legally and logically decide who is to own the moon

Dr Greene says:
::Sits in the office space, just off the main sickbay floor, reading through the list of crew mutations, marking those who are arriving, and those who are leaving::

Lt Yellow says:
::knocks on the CEO's door::

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
::At a science station on the bridge::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Aloud: There is a chime for a reason! Come in!

Cmdr Gamar says:
CO: throughout the years, the descendants of the twins started quarrelling about who would explore the rich soil of the moon. The co-existed there but it was hardly peaceful and now if we don't do anything they might outright start a war. I am hoping Starfleet's presence will force them to a compromise

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Wandering aimlessly through the module, inspecting various consoles::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Tagging along quietly, nervously glancing from time to time towards the direction of the pod located directly in the middle of the room::

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::rubs his stubble:: Gamar: I would prefer it if we didn’t have to force them into anything, but we will see what we can do.  When are we expected to meet with the two parties?

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: I was testing the structural integrity of the door. It seems fine. I have the reports on the engines; they are fully in docking state

ACTION: OPS has to leave the bridge to attend to an emergency and leaves command to Lyta

Cmdr Gamar says:
CO: They are already waiting for you on the moon. You should depart when ready. Meanwhile, regarding that other subject. Dr Brarr here is ready to talk to your specialist and see the ... specimen

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Structural...yeah... thank you Lt.

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: Its only my job. Did Captain Pazoski inform you of how long we would be here

Harry the Tribble says:
::Runs around in its cage, trying to get the CSO's attention::

CO Capt Pazoski says:
Gamar: Good, I will have security escort him to the pod, our specialists will meet him there.

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
Harry: Harry?

Dr Greene says:
::Approaches the end of the list::

Cmdr Gamar says:
CO: I will be on the base, it is very important you attend this family matter personally but should there be any problem aboard the Elara contact me immediately. You are docked in a reserved area so I don't expect any problems but one can never be too careful

Harry the Tribble says:
::Pauses, starting directly at the CSO's direction:: CSO: Chrip?

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
Harry: Oh no!

ACTION: The CTO was ordered to report to the bridge to OPS but he soon finds that OPS is not there, only the CSO

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::nods to Gamar:: Gamar: Then I think we better get going.  Give me 15 minutes to get my crew together, where do you want us to meet you?

Harry the Tribble says:
CSO: Chrip! ::Does drinking motions::

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
::Always surprised at how the Tribble manages to do it without having any limbs::

Cmdr Gamar says:
CO: Outside the Elara hatch, someone will escort you to your transport. Meanwhile Dr Brarrr will remain here

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Unfortunately, our whole department is being kept in the dark on this one,

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: That makes it somewhat difficult to tell if we will need resupplies or not

Ens Lost says:
CTO: Are you looking for someone?

CO Capt Pazoski says:
Gamar: Thats fine.  I will meet you at the hatch in 15 minutes and I will have security collect Dr Brarrr ::turns and heads for the exit::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Well send OPS the full list... everything that we can possibly carry.

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
Ens Lost: Uhm, not particular. But I thought I see to it, that nothing is going wrong. Either one way or the other.

Dr Greene says:
::finishes the list and applies the filter to display mutations only::

Cmdr Gamar says:
::nods and makes his way out of the quarters, assuming he doesn't need an escort anymore. Dr Brarrr remains behind::

Harry the Tribble says:
::Growls at the CSO's direction and begins running amok inside his cage::

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: That is the problem Lt. If we stay a day we do not need anything. If we stay a week we probably will

Ens Lost says:
CTO: We are docked in a Federation world. Nothing can go wrong

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: They won't go bad or anything, so order supplies now. If we don't need them, we'll use them later.

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
Ens Lost: Well I head back to the bridge then. Please see to it, that Commander Gamar gets what he needs. Including his security. If you need anything... do not hesitate to call me.

Lt Yellow says:
::nods:: CEO: I will get to it. I also wish I knew what to expect from that pod they installed but which we can't visit and ... but I should probably stop complaining and get to work. Do you have any special requests?

Ens Lost says:
CTO: We are on the bridge. The Captain is with the cats

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Well, Andrew, I'll level with you. I had a problem with the Pod too, especially after having to fix it up. We're in the same boat; I have no special treatment as a senior officer on this one.

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::walking down a generic corridor:: *CIV*: Pazoski to Dr 1010, I am sending Dr Brarrr to you, please meet him at the entrance to the pod.

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
Ens Lost: ?¿? Uhm, well, walked to the bridge while thinking to hard then. Thanks and carry on.

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Walks over to his post.::

CO Capt Pazoski says:
*CEO*: Pazoski to JoBrel, Chief I need you on away team duty, grab your gear and meet me at the docking hatch in 10 minutes.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
*CO*: We're already there, Captain.

Lt Yellow says:
::finally feels someone understands him so he sits down and lowers his voice :: CEO: What might they be doing there? I saw some medical equipment being taken but sickbay knows nothing about it. And also they don't need a lot of energy but it’s a steady drain

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: Aye Sir... and what gear is that? I'm guessing we're fixing something?

CO Capt Pazoski says:
*CTO*: Pazoski to Boktor, we are going to meet with the representatives from these two factions, please grab your gear and meet me at the docking hatch in 10 minutes.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Well, I don't want to start a rumour mill down in Engineering so keep this conversation to yourself. As for now, you're with me on the away team.

Ens Lost says:
CTO: Well it seems now you have control of the bridge. They choose anyone but me

CO Capt Pazoski says:
*CEO*: Hopefully nothing is broken but it’s always best to have it than not.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
*CO*: I'll be at the docking hatch in ten minutes, Sir. ::stands up::

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: I will sir ... and are you sure you need me on an away team? It doesn't sound like anything needs fixing

CO Capt Pazoski says:
*Greene*: Pazoski to Dr Greene.  Doctor I could use you on the away team for these talks.  Please meet me at the docking hatch in 8 minutes.

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
Ens Lost: Ah, is that so? Well in that case? I am heading for THAT chair than.  And I order you to check of program Sec1256AlfaAlpha is ready.

Dr Greene says:
::Looks up from his work:: *CO*: Understood, I'll be there..

Dr Brarrr says:
::arrives at the pod entrance with two security escort:: CIV: You are the Bynars

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Heads for the captains seat, smiles, but hides it for the Ensign.::

Ens Lost says:
::frowns at the CTO:: CTO: yes sir...but meanwhile the Captain needs you

Ens Lost says:
Self: Fortunately

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: When did orders become debatable? ::walks out the office::

Lt Yellow says:
::thinks the CEO is having strange mood changes, perhaps it’s because of the avatar?:: CEO: Yes sir, I'll get away team equipment and meet you in the docking hatch

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Nods quietly at the Doctor's direction:: Brarrr: We are. I'm Doctor 1010, and this is.. ::Pulls 0101 forward::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Brarrr: I'm Doctor 0101. ::Offers her hand:: We've heard you are to help us get over our little.. ::Pauses, thinking of the correct word to describe their situation:: problem?

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Cuts in:: Brarrr, 0101: Yes, yes. That's all good and fine, however.. ::Pauses:: They're.. ::Gestures towards the security officers:: Can't enter with you.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Ready?

Dr Brarrr says:
::shakes the Bynars hands:: CIV: Your hands are ...odd. Can I see the specimen?

Lt Yellow says:
::picks up a bag:: CEO: I'm ready

Dr Greene says:
::Sets the computer to request the medical files of those crewmembers coming aboard at this stop, and also programs the computer to forward the records for the leaving crewmembers to their new medical department leader::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
Ens Lost: Well I am off to the docking  hatch. You have the bridge. Until a higher ranked gets in

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::finds himself waiting at the docking hatch, leaning against the bulkhead whistling a nameless tune::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Nods:: Brarrr: And you smell fu-- ::Grumbles as 0101 quiets her down by covering her mouth with her hand:: Mumumhfffmfmff.

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Brarrr: Right this way, Doctor. ::Pulls 1010 along::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::indicates for Yellow to walk:: Yellow: So what do you think it is? ::walking to the docking hatch::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Heads to the TL. Enters it and sails down. Exits the TL and runs over to the Docking Hatch.:: CO: I am here, finally in the last split second.

Lt Yellow says:
::in a low voice:: CEO: the pod or the mission?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Pod...

Lt Yellow says:
CEO: Something to do with those Bynars. I always suspected beings that are part computer part organic. They remind me of the Borg. Maybe they are creating a Borg race there ...

CO Capt Pazoski says:
CTO: You still had time left Lieutenant, don't worry ::gives him a quick smile::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
CO: Well, was thinking to much, and got lost. ::Laughs out loud:: But I am at 100% now.

Dr Brarrr says:
CIV: My smell is perfectly normal, I lick myself often. ::walks with them:: CIV: When you can, I will need to know exactly what is wrong with the specimen

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Wow that is a creative imagination! ::indicates to be quiet about it as they turn the corner to meet the away team:: CO: Ready here.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CO: Are you coming on the away mission, Sir? ::looks to the CTO::

Lt Yellow says:
::in a low voice:::CEO: It would be the ultimate weapon ::aloud:: CO: Captain

CO Capt Pazoski says:
CEO: Yes, I need to stretch my legs

CIV Dr 1010 says:
Brarrr: Right. Too much information, thank you very much. ::Heads towards the center room::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Follows the two doctors:: Brarrr: We have a PADD here that summarizes our problem, if you need us to expend on anything that seems unclear please say so. ::Hands her the PADD:: You'll have to press your thumb print against the scanner through. ::Points at the lower half of the PADD::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Raises eyebrow.:: CEO: Maybe.

Dr Greene says:
::Finishes his work and heads for the TL, aware that he's running a little late::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
::covers a snicker as he hears Yellow:: CO: And the CTO didn't have a problem with the Captain going on an away mission?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CO: I mean, you'll have to get used to the desk job now, Sir, now you aren't XO anymore! ::smiles politely::

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
::Holds on to Harry::

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::smiles a grim little smile:: CEO: I just can’t get used to the desk, and until I find myself an XO I am stuck doing both jobs.

CO Capt Pazoski says:
All: We are just waiting for Doctor Greene, then we are good to go.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CO: Let's hope that Boktor is good at his job then. ::smiles at the CTO::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CO: So what's the mission, Sir?

Harry the Tribble says:
::Bites the CSO's fingers through the cage bars::

Dr Greene says:
::Exits the TL and walks the few meters to the docking port:: CO: Sorry I'm late, captain.. Had to finish up some of my administrative things..

CO Capt Pazoski says:
Greene: Thats quite all right.

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
::Makes a note to have Harry put down by the doctor::

Dr Brarrr says:
CIV: You will leave me alone with the specimen?

CO Capt Pazoski says:
All: Okay we are going to mediate the dispute between these two factions of Caitians.  Apparently both want sole custody of the moon but neither wants to give it up, it hasn’t got violent yet but it’s only a matter of time

CIV Dr 1010 says:
Brarrr: Like hell we w--- ::Growls once again as 0101 quiets her down for the second time:: Mmfmfmfmfs. ::Bites 0101's hand:: We'll be inspecting your every move, we don't try you nor anyone else's that gets near to our pet project.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
CO: I’m an engineer, not an ambassador!

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Yelps in pain::

Dr Brarrr says:
::frowns:: CIV: Are you quite alright?

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Nods::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Nods:: Brarrr: Quite. ::Growls at 1010's direction::

Lt Yellow says:
::in a low voice:: CEO: And here you want to take me too!

Dr Brarrr says:
CIV: You Bynars have most unusual behaviours

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Yes, we might need your imagination!

CO Capt Pazoski says:
CEO: You are also a Starfleet Officer, let’s go.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
Brarrr: At least we don't lick our private parts. ::Raises an eyebrow in a challenge, only to realize Bynars don't really have eyebrows:: Can we get back to business?

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::opens the hatch::

Dr Greene says:
::Nods at the captain's explanation of their mission::

Dr Brarrr says:
CIV: Yes, I need a desk and access to your library. As well as access to the specimen

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Self: When it suits you...

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Brarrr: This way. ::Walks towards one of the free consoles::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Looks at the CEO and the CO. Follows the group as last and closes the hatch.::

Yellow says:
CEO: I take diplomatic duty as imaginative work. Maybe that’s why they want us, no one can solve a problem like an engineer

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
Harry: bad tribble.

ACTION: On the other side, a female Caitian in a local uniform greets the crew

Harry the Tribble says:
::Points at the CSO's direction::

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
Harry: What?

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Gets there as last and greets, by a deep bow.::

Larrr says:
CO: I am Larrr, I talked to your crew earlier when you docked. I will be piloting you to the Felix moon

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::nods to the Caitian:: Larrr: Please lead on.

Dr Greene says:
::Looks out and notices their welcoming 'party'::

Larrr says:
CO/CEO/Dr/CTO: Follow me ::walks through an empty corridor and uses an access card to go to another docking bay. There, a small oval shuttle awaits them::

Harry the Tribble says:
::Raises two fingers::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
::Frowns eyebrows.:: Larrr: Yes ma'am.

Dr Brarrr says:
::sits down in the console:: CIV: I will be working here for now

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
Harry: What is it Harry? Did Maor fall down the well?

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
[whisper] CEO: Well I wonder, what awaits us over there.

ACTION: Larrr moves much like any Caitian with precise slow movements, one might even say they were provocative. Yellow in particular looks at her with curiosity

CEO LtJG JoBrel says:
Yellow: Well said. CTO: Work, no doubt.

ACTION: She opens the door to the shuttle. Inside they find the most comfortable military craft they ever saw

ACTION: The walls are decorated with rugs and there are pillows in the chairs

Harry the Tribble says:
::Chirps loudly while keeping his two fingers up::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
Brarrr: Need anything, Doctor?

CSO LtJG Lyta says:
::Hands Harry two snack bars::

Harry the Tribble says:
::Shakes his head::

Dr Brarr says:
CIV: Some silence

CO Capt Pazoski says:
::sits himself down on a chair and relaxes::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Huffs, and goes to check some other random console::

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Shrugs and tags along::

CTO LtJG Boktor says:
CEO: Yes. hehe. Yellow: Well our civ. walks the same way huh?
