FCOVnSckl says:
@::materializes in the outpost transporter room::

CEO_Ross says:
CMO: No, just wondering what it is you were looking at.  Can I assist?

ESO_Hall says:
Chief: Thank you.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Rematerializes in the outpost transporter room::

CTO_Valar says:
@::steps off the transporter pad::

@::steps off transporter pad, admiring the "decor"::

CMO_Jiosa says:
CEO: Just looking over all the records we have of the aliens.

ESO_Hall says:
::Walks back to the missile fragments::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Stands and waits::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO:  I am Lt. Scott, Captain.  Chief of Outpost Operations.  The Commodore is awaiting you in Briefing Room 1.

CO_Torbin says:
@::steps off the transporter pad and turns his gaze to the waiting outpost officer::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Looks around a little bewildered::

CMO_Jiosa says:
CEO: Did we get any bio readings?

ESO_Hall says:
::Begins scanning the fragments::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Waits to be led to the briefing room::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: If you and your staff will follow me?

CO_Torbin says:
@Lt. Scott: Lead the way then Lt.

CEO_Ross says:
CMO: Understood.  I am not sure.  Check the sensor logs.  ::Walks over to the center chair and sits down tapping on the chair's console::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Walks behind the rest of the Away Team::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Follows the outpost Lt.::

OPS_Fey says:
ESO: Ens. Fey reporting, Sir.

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Checks the sensor logs::

Ens_Kij says:
@::follows the outpost operations officer::

CO_Torbin says:
@::follows the outpost operations officer::

CTO_Valar says:
@::is not impressed by the new facility up to now::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::leads the Away Team through the outpost.  Lots of construction work going on, but the basics seem to be in place.   Away Team arrives at Briefing Room 1::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::wonders what this place will look like when it’s fully operational::

CTO_Valar says:
@::follows the Away Team into the Briefing room::

ESO_Hall says:
::looks at Ens.:: OPS: Sir, I am a hologram not your commanding officer.  Please don't address me as “Sir”.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Enters Briefing Room next to the CO::

CEO_Ross says:
::Starts checking the ship’s sensor logs on the missiles.  Gets up and walks back to SCI 1 and sits down next to the CMO::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::Lt. Scott leaves after showing the Away Team into the Briefing Room::

Ens_Kij says:
@::wonders how many different species are on the Outpost right now. Then enters the Briefing Room::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Standing in the Briefing Room in front of his crew::

CTO_Valar says:
::Stands next to the door of the briefing room::

OPS_Fey says:
ESO: Yes, Sir. ::she grins:: Should I call you “hologram” then?

CEO_Ross says:
::Starts reading all the data gathered on the missiles.  Looking specifically at how it affected the shield harmonics::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::Enters the Briefing Room from a door off to one side::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Stands at attention before the Commodore::

CTO_Valar says:
@::snaps to attention::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Stands as straight as possible:::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Completes checking sensor logs and sighs::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Snaps to attention, starting to say something, but notices his crew was already at attention, so refrains::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Stands even straighter, if possible::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Well, since William Hall programmed me to be just like him only smarter, I would think that he would like me to be called Will.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: At ease.

CEO_Ross says:
*Engineering* How are things progressing?

FCOVnSckl says:
@::stands at ease::

CO_Torbin says:
::eases and waits for the Commodore to enlighten him::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Assumes “at ease” stance::

OPS_Fey says:
CSO: Nice to meet you, Will.  What can I do to help?

Ens_Kij says:
@::Relaxes::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::turns around and scopes out the Bridge::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Anything.  I have an analysis due to the CEO when he returns.  So, you could help me analyze this if you wish.  Actually, you are my superior.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: Welcome to OP 725.  I am Commodore Alen, outpost and sector commander.

CEO_Ross says:
::Starts receiving the sensor telemetry that was recorded::

CEO_Ross says:
*ESO/OPS*: Would you agree that these are typical missiles, just with upgrades to their iso-ton carriage?

Ens_Kij says:
@::Tries to recall all the Andorian history and customs she can::

OPS_Fey says:
::Moves to an open console and begins checking.  ESO: Do we have anything to report to the Bridge, yet?

CTO_Valar says:
@::Continues to stand next to the door, watching and listening::

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* I have yet to gather enough information to determine that as of yet, Sir.  Do you want a guess?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: Please be seated so we can get started.  I have a lot of material to cover and not much time.  ::He sits down at the head of the briefing table::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Pulls up the casualty reports::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Sits in a nearby chair::

CEO_Ross says:
::Looks over at the Doctor engrossed in her work::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Walks to the briefing room table and sits down::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Sits down at the table::

CO_Torbin says:
Alen: Nice to meet you Sir.  I have brought Lt. VanSickle, ship's FCO and 2nd officer, Lt. Mitchell, ship's CTO, and Ensign Kij, acting chief science officer with me. ::points to each officer as named::  Unfortunately, the other members of my staff are busy with other duties. ::takes a seat at the table::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Nods when his name is called::

CTO_Valar says:
@Commodore: Sir. ::Nods::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::Nods at the officers as they are introduced in turn::

CEO_Ross says:
*ESO* Understood.  Let’s make some progress.  Bridge, out.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: Noted.  I am sure you will bring them up to speed when you return to Elara.

CO_Torbin says:
@Commodore: Of course, Sir.

CEO_Ross says:
::Continues tapping commands into the science station console attempting to assist in the analysis::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Finishes filling out the Death Certificate for Lt. Stephan Hughes::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::Presses a button on the table and a hologram of the local area appears::

CEO_Ross says:
::Thinks to himself: Great!  We just got this ship fixed and now I have to come up with a defense::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Sits quietly and listens, looking up at the hologram::

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Watches the hologram appear::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Looks intently at the hologram::

ESO_Hall says:
::looks at OPS:: OPS cut me off before I could finish.  Lets run the configuration through the data banks to see if it matches anything in there.  Agreed?

CO_Torbin says:
@::Looks at the hologram as it appears::

OPS_Fey says:
CSO: I am not getting any unusual readings on this. That sounds like a good idea to me.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: We are here. ::one star lights up on the hologram labeled Outpost 725::

ESO_Hall says:
::Nods to OPS and begins searching the data banks::

CEO_Ross says:
::gets up and walks over to the tactical station and notices Ens Bailey working quietly::

CTO_Valar says:
@::pulls out a PADD and begins taking notes::

OPS_Fey says:
::runs a back-up check and frowns at the information.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: Until about 2 years ago, this area ::a swath of the hologram lights up, about a 200 LY sphere:: was the Arkonn Empire.  Relatively low tech, peaceful political entity just outside the UFP border.

CTO_Valar says:
<Bailey> ::looks at the CEO:: Sir?

CEO_Ross says:
Bailey: I need to modify the phaser targeting system, to correct for some errors I detected.

CTO_Valar says:
<Bailey> Of course, Sir.  ::steps aside::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::files the death certificate and moves onto Ens. Yazyera's::

CTO_Valar says:
@::making notes on the PADD::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Find anything?

Ens_Kij says:
@::Files away information in the back of her head for later reference::

CEO_Ross says:
::Gets down underneath the station and begins pulling out data rods and analyzing the programming sequences::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All:  The Empire's technology is roughly equivalent to the UFP technology of 100 years ago, so far as we know.  This area was considered low threat and during the War Starfleet had other concerns and strength here was substantially reduced.

OPS_Fey says:
ESO: It looks rather crude to me.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Nods as the Commodore speaks.  Continues her notes::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS: That is a definite “yes”.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Nods. Thinks: I remember this part::

CEO_Ross says:
::Completes the corrections and then asks Bailey to try a test simulation::

CTO_Valar says:
<Bailey> CEO: Beginning test simulation now, Sir.

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  We can run a spectral analysis of the missile fragments.  That might tell us something.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@All: During this hiatus in Starfleet observation, the Empire broke apart and collapsed due to reasons we are as yet unsure of.

FCOVnSckl says:
@Commodore: Sir, if this Empire broke apart, then how come they claim this area as their own?

CTO_Valar says:
@::looks up from her PADD when Lt. VanSickle interrupts the Commodore by asking a question::

CEO_Ross says:
Bailey: Also, are there any deviations in the shield frequencies during missile detonation?  If so, I need those relayed to me at science one.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Notices Valar looking at him::

CTO_Valar says:
<Bailey> CEO: Aye, Sir.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Waits patiently for an answer.::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: The "Arkonn Navy" that attacked you, Captain is merely one of about 12 to 18 competing splinter groups who are trying to establish political control of the area.  There is no longer a true “Arkonn Navy”.   They are actually little better than pirates or local Warlords.

OPS_Fey says:
ESO: Will, would you inform Lt. Ross on the Bridge or did you want to wait until you finish that analysis?

CEO_Ross says:
::Walks back over to Science station one sitting next to the CMO.  He smiles briefly at her then continues modifying the shields::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS: Of what?

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Finishes filling out the certificate and files it::

CO_Torbin says:
@Commodore: They pack quite a punch for pirates or warlords.

CTO_Valar says:
<Bailey> CEO: Sir, I am detecting a .26 variance in the shield frequencies.  Transferring data to Science 1 console.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Thinks: Pirates or warlords?::

CMO_Jiosa says:
::smiles back at the CEO as she finishes her grim work::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Looks down at her PADD and continues her notes::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: 12 to 18, that many means more than likely, each one is relatively small::

OPS_Fey says:
CEO: The spectral analysis?

CEO_Ross says:
::Yells “Thanks” to the furry Ensign and begins working on ways to defeat the variance::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@::frowns:: CO: Yes, a bit more than we anticipated.  We did not actually expect they would be bold enough to attack you.   Our intelligence data suggested that they would threaten and posture, but stop there.  The missiles were a surprise, but we expect that they do not have many of them.

CTO_Valar says:
@Commodore: Sir, what types of defenses are online on the outpost at this time?

Ens_Kij says:
@Commodore: Sir, Are all the groups like this one? Has there been contact with any of the other 'splinters'?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@ENS: They are similar, though of varying sizes and capabilities.  We have been contacted by several of them, but no group stands out as particularly noteworthy or trustworthy.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Nods and sinks in to deep thought::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  I think the CEO would agree that we should do everything possible to gain information.  We will contact him when we find something.

CEO_Ross says:
*OPS/ESO* Progress?

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* We are getting ready to run a spectral analysis of the fragments.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Looks up at the Commodore, waiting for an answer::

OPS_Fey says:
*CEO* We've decided to run a spectral analysis.  At this point there is nothing special to report.

CO_Torbin says:
@Commodore: Expectations have been known to be wrong Commodore.  Also, what are the sizes of these groups?  Having 12 to18 of them, I would assume they would be somewhat small.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO:  We are unsure of the capabilities of many of the groups.  The Arkonn Navy appears quite large.  We estimate 30 to 40 ships.

CEO_Ross says:
*OPS?ESO* I need you two to determine the exact iso-metric frequency of the missiles so I can program the shields to block them out more effectively.

CTO_Valar says:
@Commodore: However, if they were to all form one group, they might pose a threat.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@Valar: Unification of the groups, except through conquest seems unlikely.  They are VERY antagonistic towards each other. 

ESO_Hall says:
::nods:: *CEO*:  Aye

FCOVnSckl says:
@Commodore: Sir, if I may, what you're describing sounds like ancient Japan.  Several rival clans with warlords trying to establish themselves as the true ruler.

Host OPCOAlen says:
 I am unfamiliar with earth history, Lt. VanSickle, but Andorian history has episodes similar to what I expect you are talking about.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Makes notes on the PADD::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: “Unsure”?  I dislike “Unsure”::

CTO_Valar says:
@Commodore: Sir, I ask again, what are the Outpost’s defensive capabilities?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@Valar: We have a total of 20 type-XI phaser arrays, providing full coverage as well as 6-rapid fire torpedo launchers.  We are quite capable of defending ourselves. ::grim smile::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Nods and makes a note::

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* Anything else, Sir?

CEO_Ross says:
::Walks back over to the tactical station and stands beside Bailey.  Starts tapping in the corrections he believes will assist in blocking the missiles::

DrHarison says:
::Wakes up with a fright and heads for the shower then gets dressed in her uniform::

CEO_Ross says:
*ESO* Negative.  Just that and any weakness they might have.

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* Will, out.

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Pulls up some medical files including her own::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: But defending themselves against what is the question::

CTO_Valar says:
@Commodore: Are all these defenses online at the present?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@Valar: Yes.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Nods to the Commodore::

OPS_Fey says:
::Looks at Will, then back to the console:: ESO: Are you getting anything other than that 100 iso-ton reading?

CEO_Ross says:
COMM: Elara to Captain Torbin.  Sorry to interrupt, Sir.  But I wanted to inform you of our progress.  We have been making modifications to the shields so they will be able to block out most of the energy produced by the missiles.  We are continuing our analysis.

CO_Torbin says:
@*CEO* ::whispers into comm badge:: Acknowledged.

ESO_Hall says:
::Turns to OPS Fey:: OPS: No.  But let’s run some additional scans that would determine the iso-metric frequency.  I would also like to see if we can use some type of pulse that would destroy the missile once it is launched.  

Ens_Kij says:
@Commodore: If all the groups are as alike as you say they are, if they have the same objectives, are there any known reasons why the groups are so hostile towards each other? Any theories? ::quickly adds:: Sir.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@ENS:  We have no theories regarding the mutual antipathy.  We have been unable to gather sufficient data to determine the causes of the break-up or why the splinter groups are acting as they are.

DrHarison says:
::Checks on the baby and makes sure that she is safe.  Then calls Clara to come and watch the baby::

OPS_Fey says:
::Looks extremely interested:: CEO: What type of test would you suggest to get that type of reading?

Host OPCOAlen says:
   @CO:  One of your missions, Captain, will be to gather that data.

CO_Torbin says:
@Commodore: Understood, Sir.

Ens_Kij says:
::Sighs quietly.  Thinks: Another dead end.::

FCOVnSckl says:
@Commodore: How long is the Arkonn history?

CEO_Ross says:
::Walks over to the center chair and sits down again, reviewing the corrections of the shields::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@FCO: Unknown.  They were here prior to the UFP expansion into this area.  We estimate at least 3 centuries.

DrHarison says:
::Not waiting to chat with Clare, she heads straight to the Bridge, not even bothering to put her hair in a bun.  Wearing it down for the first time ever::

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  We could set up an experiment in the holodeck that would allow us to subject a holographic missile to different pulses.

Ens_Kij says:
@::Thinks: A lot can happen in three centuries. Maybe this was brewing for a while.::

CEO_Ross says:
::Looks up briefly, resting his eyes.  He looks to the viewscreen and at the outpost directly ahead::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: The Empire was somewhat xenophobic and we had little contact with them.  A very insular group, but we have seen indications that this is changing.

DrHarison says:
Self: I can't believe that I did that!   Slept in and I didn't even hear David get up!

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Once we find that, it should not be that difficult to find the iso-metric frequency.

DrHarison says:
::Exits turbolift onto the Bridge:: CEO: Sorry I am late.

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Notices the CNS enter the Bridge:: CNS: Hello Doctor. How's the baby?

OPS_Fey says:
::moves to look at the console, then nods:: ESO: I am open to any leads we can discover.

Host OPCOAlen says:
CO: I have had my staff prepare a more detailed briefing as well as updated navigational charts.  I have also included a list of mission objectives, which I will summarize:

CEO_Ross says:
CNS: Welcome to the Bridge.  How are you feeling?

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Do we know what the missile is made of?

DrHarison says:
CMO:  She is a wonderful thanks for the asking

CO_Torbin says:
@::Nods to the Commodore::

DrHarison says:
CEO: Great!  Ready to take on the world!

Host OPCOAlen says:
@1) Defense of Outpost 725.  We do not really expect to need much help in this area, but you should be prepared to assist in the defense of the station should it be attacked.

CEO_Ross says:
CNS: Great, well nothing much for you to do.  You might assist the CMO with her duties?

CTO_Valar says:
@::Nods to the Commodore::

CO_Torbin says:
@::Thinks: Something powerful enough to cause the Outpost to need our help.  Don’t know how much good we would be in that case::

CMO_Jiosa says:
CEO/CNS: There isn’t that much to do.  Sensor readings being so incomplete.

DrHarison says:
CEO:  Oh how are the repairs in Engineering going?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@2) Intel Gathering:  We need to find out what caused the break-up and we need more data on the Arkonn in general and the various groups.

FCOVnSckl says:
@::Thinks: Looks like we'll be flying around this sector for a while::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Nods. Thinks: Looks like I'm going to be busy::

CEO_Ross says:
CNS: Proceeding normally.  We should be back to full efficiency by tomorrow.

CMO_Jiosa says:
CNS: Unless, Doctor, did you get any sense of them?  I realize you were a little preoccupied.

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  Well???

CTO_Valar says:
@::Pressing the buttons on her PADD at a feverish rate making as many notes as she can.  Decides she should have used a voice recorder instead::

OPS_Fey says:
CSO: I am unsure. ::runs the check again:: Lt. Ross may have already gotten that information.

DrHarison says:
::Walks around and takes her seat::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@3) Assistance to local planets that have requested UFP assistance.  There are several.  And the various factions aren't happy that we are "interfering" in the "internal affairs of the Empire" even though the Empire no longer exists.

ESO_Hall says:
OPS:  If not, we can scan the missile and get the information ourselves.

CEO_Ross says:
*OPS/ESO* Have you got the iso-metric frequency yet? I would like to have these modifications done before the Captain returns.

Ens_Kij says:

CEO_Ross says:
::Laughs a bit then thinks at how much work still has to be done and shudders::

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* No, Sir.  This is very touchy.  I am hypothesizing that there is not enough information or fragments to determine it.  However I am about to go to the holodeck and see if we can't determine a way to destroy them be for they hit the ship.

CMO_Jiosa says:
::Looks at the incomplete bio readings trying to see if she missed anything::

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: The team is standing by here in temporary quarters and consists of 24 people and the requisite supplies.

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* Then we should be able to determine the iso-metric frequency.

CEO_Ross says:
*OPS/ESO* Understood.  I will attempt to find another way to modify our shields just in case you don’t get it.

ESO_Hall says:
*CEO* We will find it but it will take time Lt.

@Anyone who is listening: ::cocks her head to one side:: Commodore:  Medical team?  What happened, Sir?

@Commodore: What kind of emergency relief and will we have to do anything other than put them on the planet, Sir?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@ENS:  Infrastructure collapse following a prolonged period of neglect.  There appears to have been an outbreak of Rigellian fever, though we are unsure of how it got there.  You might look into that as well, Captain.

CO_Torbin says:
@::Nods::

Ens_Kij says:
@::Looks a little scared. Thinks: Plagues. I hate plagues::

CO_Torbin says:
@Commodore: Will they require any assistance from my own medical staff?

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO:  Most likely your CMO will be needed to assist.

Host OPCOAlen says:
@CO: That is about all I have at the moment.  ::Hands Torbin a data chip:: Full details are on the chip so get going as soon as possible.  If you will excuse me, I have many things to attend to.  Good Luck, Captain and welcome aboard.
