Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has just entered orbit of Theta Tau IV.

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Enki says:
::Sitting at her console, bringing sensors up to maximum resolution... commbadges, or Federation signatures should show up instantly::  CO: Ma'am, scanning now... a full lifesign scan would take a while, though.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::in her chair, watching the Europa pull into orbit, nods to the CSO, was just about to ask::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: We have a little time.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Scanning the observation post... no one there... working out from that... about 30 km, picking up non-native lifesigns.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::reads over several PADDs and grins. Gets an idea and looks down at the commbadge she held in her paw, trying to remember how she saw Auntie Kathleen use it.:: *XO*: Mr. Llewellyn, meet me in the Briefing Room please. ::grins::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Non native? Our people?

CSO_Enki says:
::Nods to the CO::  CO: The observation post is still active, too.  Hidden, and undamaged, it would seem.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::walking out of sickbay, after making the arrangements for the possible away team to have their face make over, hears Chitwa over his com badge:: *CIV*: I will meet you there ::wonders what she wants::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::furrows her brow in thought:: CSO: So if our people are down there... can we tell if there are people near enough to observe them?

CSO_Enki says:
::Resolving her scanners around that location::  CO: Checking now...

CSO_Enki says:
::Frowns::  CO: I'm picking up a significant number of native lifesigns close by.  And temporary dwellings...

XO_Llewellyn says:
::enters the turbo lift and rides it to deck one and heads for the briefing room::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Self: Hm..... CSO: Alright, we dare not risk beaming them up in front of the native population... best we go down there.

CSO_Enki says:
::Turns and looks at the CO::  CO: Ma'am?

XO_Llewellyn says:
::enters the Briefing Room, and looks around for Chitwa::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks up from her perch in the middle of the table. She had a stack of PADDs in front of her::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: Yes?

XO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: What was it you needed, ::pauses for a moment:: how did you get in here by the way?

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Ma'am, I don't think that's a good idea.  I mean, I really don't think we can pass for locals, at least well enough to get 'em out without some use of force.  What language do they speak anyway?  Purty sure it ain’t English.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::points to the open hatch and grins:: XO: I want to know why you'rrre so interrrested in the middle ages. Arrre we going therrre? Can this ship trrravel in time orrr something?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: That is what the universal translators are for.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: If the team has told the natives anything, they're a bad team... aren't they trained to keep quiet on matters which might break the Prime Directive?  Why not just beam them up, let the natives make up something about how they disappeared, and leave?

CEO_McGregor says:
::Heads for the bridge::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::looks stern, but wants to laugh at the CIV's comments:: CIV: You know you are not allowed on this level, and that you shouldn't be crawling though the jeffries tubes. It is kind of creepy, knowing someone could pop in on you at any moment. No this ship can not travel though time, I can't really explain to you what is going on, but we might have to help some of our friends on a planet, and the native people of that planet have the technology level of Earth during the middle ages.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: How do we know what they will think? It may have a greater impact on their culture and society then we know... would you want to take that chance?

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Well, ma'am, it's kind of presumptuous that we can run around, making decisions for an entire population.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Enters the bridge and heads for engineering 1::

XO_Llewellyn says:

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: I do not have the time nor inclination to debate this situation... have you sent your scans to sickbay?

CSO_Enki says:
::Turns back towards her console::  CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Wait until we mess up, and things get worse, I'll be the first to tell you 'told you so'::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::knowing look:: XO: Ohhh....So I did all this rrreaserrrch forrr nothing? ::points to the PADDs::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: Assemble your team in sickbay, and get everyone outfitted. The observation post has been abandoned at the moment and so we will have you beam down there to determine why the team left it.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::hears the comm and grins::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles:: CIV: Well research is never done for nothing, you know stuff now that you didn't before.  ::starts picking up the PADDs, and hands them to her:: here, now you need to get back to your quarters, or go to the holodeck or something before you get us both into trouble. ::hears Heather over the com, and holds up his hand to keep Chitwa quiet::

XO_Llewellyn says:
*CO*: Understood, I will be there shortly, just finishing up with something

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: One of the twelve Non-native lifesigns ceases.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::tucks her PADDs into her pockets and leaps off the table, executes a perfect backflip and hops into the open hatch::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: Understood. Let me know when you are ready to beam down. Llewellyn out.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::walks over to the hatch and closes it, and then activities a lock on it:: *CO*: I am in the briefing room, I will be on the bridge shortly.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::trots quickly through the tubes::

CSO_Enki says:
::Her console beeps::  CO: We're down to 11 team members, Captain.  ::Putting a little too much emphasis on the rank::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::levels the briefing room and walks on the bridge to the CTO:: CTO: Our little cat friend keeps trotting though the jeffries tubes and popping into places she shouldn't be, unless you want her popping into your quarters when you are changing clothes you might want to find away to stop her

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::senses some irritation from her science officer:: CSO: By the Great goddess! 11? What happened?

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: ::Holds up a hand::  Whoa there pardner, I mean Commander.  She's a little young for that kind of talk.  So, she's at it again huh?  Guess her auntie doesn't do well with the discipline.  Alright, I'll take care of it.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::nods to Hexx:: CTO: Good, but for now I need you to head to sickbay for a make over, you are going to the surface

CTO_Hexx says:
::Begins writing a simple program subroutine while keeping an ear on the conversation.::

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: ::Stops::  Sir?

CSO_Enki says:
CO: I imagine one of them died, ma'am.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::pulls a tool out of her pocket that she snuck from a work kit when no one was looking and opens the JT hatch in sickbay::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks upset:: Self: Damn.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::wonders if the CTO didn't hear him:: CTO: Report to sickbay, you are going to the surface.  Understand?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at Donnie, haunted:: XO: We have got to get you down there now. One of the team may have just died. ::mentally sends a prayer to cerenunos::

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: Oh?  Right, alteration.  I was wonderin' what make-up had to do with Sickbay.  I'm on my way.  ::Grins and heads off to Sickbay::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::climbs out of the hatch, looking around:: Self: Oh cool..

XO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Gather a few of your officers and have them accompany you ::heads for the TL:: CO: We are on our way to sickbay now, unless you want us to skip that part?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Once in the turbo lift, thinks how much better it would be to just beam up the team.  Does not like this idea one bit.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::shakes her head:: XO: No.... but hurry. Send two of you down at a time and meet up in the post. Report back to me from there.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at Heather and enters the lift:: *CEO*: Mr. McGregor, report to sickbay

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO*: Aye sir

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks over the trays of tools, twitching her furry tail::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Locks down engineering 1 and heads for sickbay::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Arrives at Sickbay::

CTO_Hexx says:
CIV: What the?  Are you sick?

XO_Llewellyn says:
::thinks for a moment:: *CSO*: Report to sickbay, I will also need you

CIV_Chitwa says:
::hears the CTO and looks up. Drops the handful of tools and yelps::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Enters TL ::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::enters sickbay and sees the CTO and CIV and walks over to them::

CSO_Enki says:
*XO*: On my way.  ::Casts a glance at the CO as she leaves, thinking that with her, he definitely needs a little Marla now and then::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::backs up slowly, away from the CTO::

CEO_McGregor says:
:;Exits TL and walks to sickbay::

CTO_Hexx says:
CIV: No.  not that way.  Use the door like everyone else.  Stay out of the tubes, they can be dangerous.

XO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: Chitwa, what are you doing here?

XO_Llewellyn says:
CIV: Never mind, don't have time at the moment.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::bares her teeth and growls at the CTO, fluffing out her fur::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Hops up on a bio-bed and waits not-so-eagerly for the doctors to go to work.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Enters sickbay::

CSO_Enki says:
::Sends the TL down to Sickbay, and walks in, looking around for the alteration booth::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grabs a couple of the tools she dropped and leaps up onto a biobed, hops across to the one the CTO is lying on, bounces off his lap, hops to another biobed and leaps to the floor, running for the open hatch::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::walks over to a panel and beams Chitwa back to her quarters, and places a forcefield around the quarters blocking all possible exits, then moves to a biobed:: CTO: We can take care of her later, right now we have to hurry

CEO_McGregor says:
::Looks over at the XO and crew::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Having just had their prosthetics fitted and skin color adjusted the Away Team is in the transporter room, ready to beam down.

CSO_Enki says:
::Standing with her arms across her chest, a miserable look on her face.  I can't believe they made me do this::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::in the transporter room:: CTO: You and I will beam down first . CSO: You and Lieutenant. McGregor will beam down after us

CTO_Hexx says:
::Tentatively touching his second forehead::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::kicks her hoverball around::

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: No sir.  This is extremely dangerous.  I and one of my men will go to make sure the beam-down site is clear.  We'll signal you when it is safe.

XO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Lets just all beam down together, we don't have time ::hopes on to the padd::

XO_Llewellyn says:
*CO*: We are beaming to the surface now

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: Sorry sir, no arguments.  We do it my way or not at all.  How could I face the Cap'n if'n I let y'all get captured, tortured and killed?  ::Grins and motions one of his guys up onto the pad::

CTO_Hexx says:
TRChief: Chief, Walker and me.  Beam us down.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: Glad to hear it. Contact me again from below. ~~~XO: Love you. Be safe...~~~

XO_Llewellyn says:
::Still on the PADD and looks at the Cheif:: Chief: Hold *CO*: Will do

CIV_Chitwa says:
::hops onto the couch and finds the remote for the viewscreen. Turns it on and begins flipping through the channels::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Checks his knife in his boot and wishes a thousand times for a gun.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<TRChief> ::starts to beam the whole team down because the XO out ranks the CTO by far, then hears Llewellyn speak::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::steps in front of Hexx:: CTO: Lieutenant. In case you have forgotten I am in charge here, if you wish you may excuse yourself back to the bridge:: All: On to the pad now

CEO_McGregor says:
::Shakes his head a bit and gets up on the pad::

CTO_Hexx says:
XO: Alright sir, have it your way.  ::Steps down and moves to the side.:: Walker: Walker, you take care of Commander Llewellyn now y' hear?  And if'n ya get in trouble, don't worry, I won't leave ya.  ::Grins::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::Steps back on to his spot, and waits for everyone to get in their places::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Makes sure his throwing knives are where he wants them::

XO_Llewellyn says:
Chief: Any life signs at the beam down point?

CTO_Hexx says:
::Heads back to the bridge.::

XO_Llewellyn says:
Chief: Beam us down

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<TRChief> XO: No, Sir, no life signs... ::beams them down::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Arrives on the bridge and takes his station.  Sends commands to Security to prepare for a rescue effort.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The AT arrives on the surface.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@*CO*: We just arrived on the surface, we Mr. Hexx gets to the bridge would you send him back to the Transporter so he can join the team ::looks around the area:: *Sec guys*: Secure the area

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Donnie, looks up to see the CTO in full armor:: CTO: What happened? Why aren't you on the surface?

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Begins looking around::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Commander Llewellyn and I had a disagreement.  He is, apparently, unaware of Starfleet order (insert proper verse and chapter I'll look it up another time).  He suggested I return to the bridge.  ::Shrugs::  Don't worry though ma'am, one of my guys is with him, and if'n they get in trouble, I'll fetch 'em back.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::turns the viewscreen up louder and kicks her ball against the wall::

XO_Llewellyn says:
CEO/CSO: Get a location on our people, so we can go get them and get back to the ship

CSO_Enki says:
@::Walks over to the window and points:: XO: That way.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: the Observation Post is neat and orderly, seemingly uncompromised.  Weapons are in the Weapons locker and the teams commbadges are laying on a table.  Full computer access is available.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@CSO: So, how to your suppose we get from here to there, with out being captured our selves

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at her CTO rather quizzically:: CTO: You had a disagreement with Don... I mean Commander Llewellyn? Over the safety issue? ::sighs:: Lieutenant I understand and I appreciate you watching out for the Executive officer of this ship, but he does not need to be coddled.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Well cap'n, if'n I may speak freely....?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Yes. ::figures she'll probably regret this::

CSO_Enki says:
@XO: Well, I bet we could walk.  We DO look like the natives.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Your husband, ma'am, while a fine officer I'm sure, is not a tactical officer.  Nor is he a security officer.  He is a counselor and, as such, is deciding things with his heart... not his head.  It would put the away team and the OP team in needless jeopardy to allow him to continue in command there ma'am.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grumbles as she kicks her ball:: Self: Mean old ::thunk:: I bet he hates kids ::thunk:: And I looked up to him too ::thunk:: I'm not gonna make ::thunk:: that mistake again. ::thunk:: Starrrfleet is just like ::thunk:: everrryone else. ::thunk:: Big meanies. ::thunk::

CSO_Enki says:
@::Wonders what's up with the command staff today::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@CSO: I mean, once we get there what do you suppose we do?

CSO_Enki says:
@XO: Well, we can figure something out when we get there.  We sure can't plan from here, not knowing what situation they're in.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Now, as Cap'n, that is up to you, but I think you ought to consider what I'm sayin'.  Ma'am.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: What you do not know about this executive officer is that while he was a counselor and a medical doctor, he also was an executive officer before for the USS Tal-War. I think he handle himself.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: ::Shrugs:: Well ma'am, I guess you know best.  ::Doesn't feel that way at all, but arguing with both senior officers of his first command is probably a bad idea.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: I'll send Mister Hexx down... ::looks at Hexx::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Heads back out to the transporter room.::

XO_Llewellyn says:
*CO*: We will be waiting here for him to return, this place looks like nothing has been touched

CIV_Chitwa says:
::tears blur her vision and she lets her ball roll into a corner::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: Good to know... ::thinks: be safe::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::remembers Chitwa:: *CO*: You might want to let Chitwa out of her room now

CTO_Hexx says:
::Arrives at the Transporter room, he and another security man get on the pads.::  Chief: Alright chief, let 'er rip.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<TRChief>::beams Hexx to the surface::

CEO_McGregor says:
:: Notices how beautiful this place is::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The CTO materializes in the Observation Post.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::wonders what Donnie meant by let ‘Chitwa out of her room’::
