::on the bridge looking at the planet on the viewscreen::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Zips up uniform shirt and exits quarters::

AFCO_Drake says:
::spins in her chair::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
AFCO: Can you detect where the ion trail is going?

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: in TL heading for the bridge ::

CSO_Enki says:
::On the Bridge, trying to get the sensors to work::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Can you detect if our engineers have been deposited on the surface?

AFCO_Drake says:
::stops:: CO: It appears to lead to that planet, Ma'am. ::taps on console, trying to look busy::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Steps into Turbolift:: Turbo Lift: Bridge.

CEO_McGregor says:
::In Main Engineering::

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@::Sitting on the bridge of the Wasp, waiting for his crew to find the best course to the planet::

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: exits TL and heads for the tactical console.  Activating it ::

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Captain, I wish I could tell.  Something about this nebula is scattering our sensors.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::frowns unhappy about Enki's announcement, but what can you do?::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Steps out of turbolift and walks up behind the helm:: AFCO: How're things going, Ensign?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
All: Alright what information can you give me?

AFCO_Drake says:
::turns around slowly:: FCO: Sir! I didn't expect you to.....am I in some kind of trouble?

FCO_Voraye says:
AFCO: No, no, not at all. I just thought I could be in better use up here than sitting in my quarters.

AFCO_Drake says:
FCO: Oh, okay ::stands up:: I guess she's yours again sir.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at the AFCO, finally her response registering on her brain:: AFCO: Thank you... ::sees her other FCO:: AFCO/FCO: Would one of you two get us in orbit of the planet?

TO_Grey-feather says:
CO: The nebula may effect our targeting abilities for the weapons systems ma'am

FCO_Voraye says:
AFCO: No no, it's your shift. Sit back down and take her in. ::Motions to the helm::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
TO: Yes. Pesky nebulas... it is to be expected,... :;grumbles about having the best sensor package Starfleet has to offer and it’s not doing her a lick of good:: Try to target manually.

AFCO_Drake says:
FCO: Okay. ::sits down:: CO: Getting in orbit now, Ma'am.

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: Wasp to Europa....

TO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Aye ma'am

FCO_Voraye says:
::Notices the vacant OPS Chair, sits down at OPS::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Wasp: CO: Go ahead.

CEO_McGregor says:
Self: Ah hate Nebulas, they mess up ma systems and give me a headache

AFCO_Drake says:
CO: Moving into standard orbit now, Ma'am.

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Captain, this nebula’s really messed with our sensors, but that may be a good thing... I assume you've detected the class M planet?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Double checks sensors for any signs of approaching ships or conduits opening.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Wasp: CO: We have. We cannot detect if our people are down there  or not

CTO_Hexx says:
::Sees that the nebula is interfering with all sensors, even the lateral array.::

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Nor can we, I recommend we approach this planet as stealthily as possible, I am reading the Chodan'Ri's ion trail leading to the planet.  We may be able to sneak up on them.  ::Thinks to himself, or they may sneak up on us, but doesn't say this::

CSO_Enki says:
*CEO*: Chief... isn't it odd that a Nebula class vessel's sensors DON'T work inside a nebula?  You fix that up, and there's something special in it for you...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Wasp: CO: What about using the magnetic pole of the planet to mask our signatures?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CSO* If ah could fix that, Ah would be head of Starfleet R and D

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Mr. Hexx if we have to target manually will we need to lead the target or will the torpedoes compensate?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Wouldn't make sense for them to hide on a planet they can't see hide not hair out of.  My guess is they know we're here and are hopin' we'll go away.  Less'n a'course, they had no choice but to occupy this planet.

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Will do, and let's hope their sensors are as blind in here as ours.... Tucker out.

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: The torpedoes are self-guiding, but we need to feed 'em a target originally.  So unless we can get a lock on it, we'll have to use phasers only.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Hexx, turns to Enki:: CSO: Are you detecting anything on the planet? Anything at all?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Move us over the north magnetic pole of the planet...

AFCO_Drake says:
::taps on her console:: CO: Done.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Can we use the phasers as a targeting point for the torpedoes, you know fire for effect?

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Well, Captain, we can tell there are people down there... I just don't know who and how many...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Humans or Chodan'ri? Or what? Or can you tell?

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: ::Whistles::  I think what yer thinkin' of is using them as a laser sight.  Keep the beam on the target and the torpedo homes on the phaser's energy.  It would work, cept'n a'course you have to keep a phaser beam on the target.  And that will be tough to do, manually.

CSO_Enki says:
::Furrows her brow, and wonders if she accidentally spoke Klingon::  CO: I can't tell....

CTO_Hexx says:
::Thinks that it would be a good idea to chuck the sensor pod first chance they get, as it is proving useless anyway.::

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I may have a trick or two sir, I have been shooting almost as long as I have been walking

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CSO: Very well.

Host WCO_Tucker says:
ACTION: As the Europa nears the planet it starts to get some more detailed sensor readings, Humans are on the surface, though it appears to be more than just her missing crew... about 150 of them.

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: Well, if'n it comes down to it, we'll be shootin' phasers at 'em anyways, so you might as well try.  ::Grins::

CSO_Enki says:
Self: Woohoo!  CO: Captain, picking up human lifesigns...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: How many? Just humans? Or are there others?

CSO_Enki says:
CO: About 150 of them.  There are about a thousand Chodan'Ri around as well...

Host WCO_Tucker says:
Action: There are about a thousand Chodan'Ri detected also, most are within a compound that was built on the ruins of an ancient city.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks a moment:: *CMO*: Get ready for... ::hears Enki:: CSO: A hundred and fifty??? That's more than was taken from our ship...

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: keeps a watch on the tactical console:: CTO: You find me a target and I will put some holes in it for you sir

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO/AFCO: Do we have a good enough lock on the non-chodan'ri to beam people off the surface?

AFCO_Drake says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Do we?

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: The way these damn sensors are actin', likely the target'll find us first.  ::Mutters::  Ought to have the crew look out the windows and sing out if'n they see somethin' comin'.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the CTO:: CTO: I agree. Position some tactical officers in windows if you care to do so.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: I think it would be best to not chance it.

CMO_Calahan says:
::looks up from her patient and walks from the room:: *CO*: A hundred and fifty? Are you serious? What, did they multiply or something?

CTO_Hexx says:
: ::Blinks in surprise, thinking "Reads minds and has ears like a cat.  No more muttering."::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Sends out the orders for the off-duty personnel to line the windows on look-out.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: There must have been others kidnapped... but from where? We will have to work with the Wasp's crew to get them off the surface.... I just wish I knew more...

CMO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: *CO*: Alright.....I'm going to enlist the Counselor's help as a spare hand....

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: tries not to look shocked at the order:: Himself: We are going to target a starship by looking out the window?!

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
AFCO/CSO: Any way to detect if any of the kidnapped people still have their commbadges working?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Sayyy, ma'am.  What about modifying type 3 probes as transport enhancers?  You know, fire 'em down there around the perimeter of the humanoids, they stick in the ground, and establish a sensor field we can use.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: I like that idea. Get to it.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: But we will have to guide the probes manually won't we sir due to the nebula?

AFCO_Drake says:
::taps on her console:: CO: I can't tell from this console, ma'am.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Has Duty OPS send some transport enhancers to the torpedo room. ::  TO: We know where the humans are down there, we'll just fire them around their perimeter.  We might be able to use the probe’s on-board sensors to establish guidance once inside the atmosphere too.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Sends transport enhancers to torpedo room::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Since you are working on the Ops panel, can you configure a tight beam communication to the Wasp?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Aye, ma'am. I'll get right on that. ::Works on an encrypted tight band COM channel.

CTO_Hexx says:
CSO: Ma'am, can you have some of your guys help out the torpedo folks with the modifications?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: I think I have a securely encrypted COM Channel established.

AFCO_Drake says:
::is glad the CO did not ask her to do that::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Great.

CSO_Enki says:
::Nods::  CTO: I can spare a few... ::makes a couple calls::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Wasp: CO: We've detected 150 humanoids down on the surface. What resources do you have to help us get them off? Our CTO suggested setting up probes on the parameter to help with beaming them off the surface.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Sir if there is an away team going to the surface I want to be on it.  I want a chance to get our people back

Host WCO_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Whatever resources you think we need.  After we get them out, I plan on finding out what the Chodan'Ri are up to here, so I will want to interview anyone we rescue.

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: Don't we all.  I'll keep you in mind.  ::Grins::

CEO_McGregor says:
:;Reads over the reports given him by his engineering teams on the power transfer rates::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Looks over to the Helm:: AFCO: You're doing good, by the way.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Wasp: CO: Understood. ::looks back at Hexx:; CTO: How accurate can we get with those probes?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Configures a Type 1 probe for possible use as a controller for the Type threes.::

AFCO_Drake says:
::blushes:: FCO: Thank you sir.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: How long would it take to beam 150 people from the surface to cargo bay one?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Depends on the risk you're willin' to take.  There is a margin for error a'course.  I'm settin' up another probe to use it's sensors to guide the type three's from inside the atmosphere.  It can pinpoint the lifesigns and keep out type three probes away from them.  Hopefully.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* One ship or two?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Our ship alone.... how long would it take?

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* If we use all transporters about 4 minutes

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CTO: Sounds good.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* With out any interference at all

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: What about the Cargo transporters... can you make them more safe for a mass transport?

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: turns to the CTO:: Sir if the probes don't work could someone fly a runabout into the atmosphere and use it to relay the pattern locks?

FCO_Voraye says:
::Checks the shuttlebay status to see how many craft are ready for hot-take off::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* That should only take some power adjustments and narrowing the confinement beams, yes ah think so

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Ma'am, I hate t' say this but:  If'n we can use the probe's sensors to identify individuals...I think we should rescue the engineers among them first...That way if'n we get chased off, we deny the Chodan'Ri their resources.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: If we can, I agree.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CEO*: Get teams to modify the cargo transporters right now. We have found your engineers and a few friends.

CTO_Hexx says:
TO: Possibly, don't know.  Might ask Ms. Enki about that.  She's got more info on this nebula.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* Aye Captain ,we are on it

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Hold off launching the probes until the cargo transporters are ready.

TO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: Could a runabout be used to relay the pattern information if it was flown into the atmosphere?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Aye ma'am, they're not ready yet anyhow.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Be ready to handle a lot of power requests from transporters.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Aye ma'am. Ready to re-route power if necessary.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Hexx:: *CEO*:/CTO: Let me know when they are ready.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Aye aye.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Awaits transporter activity::

AFCO_Drake says:
::watches her console::

CEO_McGregor says:
*CO* Aye

FCO_Voraye says:
AFCO: I've seen a stare that intense before. Of course I was in a strip club on a Klingon Outpost...and I don't think the helm can be nearly that captivating.

AFCO_Drake says:
::giggles and looks up at the FCO:: FCO: Sorry, I'm just nervous.

TO_Grey-feather says:
:: checks the phasers he has on his belt and hopes for some action ::

FCO_Voraye says:
AFCO: What about?

AFCO_Drake says:
FCO: I just want to get these people back... someone's gotta fix my shower. ::grins::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Nods:: AFCO: That's incentive.
