::Standing over Science::  CO: Yes, ma'am.  CTO: Has the data been loaded to the computer?  Or is it on a PADD?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::watches Dr. Lennox and sighs::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Looks over to the vacant Operations Station:: Self: Odd, Clemons' usually pretty good about having a stand-in.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Duty OPS: I need a line of communications opened up to the Chorie government. Can you get a hold of them please?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS_Conrad>::Steps out of the turbolift and takes OPS, looking a little flustered::

<Dr Lennox>  ::hears the sigh from Chitwa and asks without turning:: CIV:  What's wrong, honey?  Bored or something on your mind?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: Aye. ::Raises the Chorie Government:: CO: Channel open.

CSO_Enki says:

CSO_Enki says:
SO: Sounds good, Jacob.  ::Smiles at him, and sits down in the chair to the right of the Captain, looking over the tricorder::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the SO as encouragement to continue to do so::

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CO: And I am Chancellor Galen.  How may I help you madam?

CMO_Madson says:
::continues to read the data and arrange it in categories, discarding some info. Listens to the two talk, mildly curios::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: Do you know what happened at the diplomatic conference that was taking place upon your surface?

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox>  CIV:  Really?  Give me a try...unless it's too personal.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: You look a little....frazzled.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS_Conrad>::Blinks:: FCO: I s'pose you could say that.

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Talks have stalled and a recess was called.  Why do you ask, you were there weren't you?

CEO_McGregor says:
:: Looks at the soil and geophysical data from the burrowing probes::

Dr. Lennox: It's just not fairrr. ::tugs on her collar::

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Okay...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: ::smiles:: I was, until I and the rest of the Federation and Dorane delegation were kidnapped by... Ambassador Stellan.

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: That's ridiculous Captain.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: Excuse me? ::looks at him disbelieving:: I know when I get taken against my will.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Maybe you ought to refer to him as Gen'ral Stellan, never know, could have a twin brother.

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox> CIV:  Not fair?  ::wonders what, in her short life, would not be fair::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the CTO:: CTO: Possible.

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CO: You're serious aren't  you?  ::Looks around apparently in thought:: And what evidence do you have of this?

CMO_Madson says:
::stops and sits up suddenly, looking at a particular set of data on one of the samples.  Turns to Chitwa::  CIV:  Chitwa, could you rescan sample Beta 15 for me.  I need to double check.

CIV_Chitwa says:
Dr. Lennox: Well...I mean, they'rrre just gonna let me rrrun arrround and make frrriends and stuff...but ::sighs:: I know they'rrre going to find me and kill me.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CMO: Yes ma'am. ::hops to her feet and finds sample beta 15 and puts it under the scanner::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: I'm very serious. I have probe data... I have witnesses... I have General Stellan in my brig. I even have coded data from the base that he created... in order to take over your government by force... complete with weaponry.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Looks at the CSO::: CSO: Sir, ah have read over the geophysical data from the burrowing probes and found something interesting

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: As Ambassador Danielson was one who was also taken... I imagine this does not bode well for your application to the Federation.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Want me to call Jonas and Baker up here, show the ambassador the very fashionable uniforms Gen'ral Stellan's boys are wearin' these days?

CSO_Enki says:
::Looks up from the tricorder::  CEO: Hm?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at the CTO::

CMO_Madson says:
::both Seran and Joanna turn in a delayed reaction to Chitwa's last statement::  CIV: Kill you?  Who and why?  If that's true, we'll go talk to the captain right away.

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: Ah found some very interesting readings from the probes sir

CSO_Enki says:
CEO: Like?

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Oh, this is very serious indeed... I will need to consult the council.  Could you have any evidence you have of this sent to me.

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: Dilithium, lots of dilithium

CIV_Chitwa says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: No...I'm alrrready in enough trrrouble.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
COM: Chorie: Galen: I will do so within the hour. ::nods::

CSO_Enki says:
CEO: Dilithium?  ::Said in a shocked tone, placing her tricorder down as it runs through second-level decryption algorithms::

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: Aye sir, Enough ta mine for a half century if not more from the 2 sites

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Very well.. Galen out.  ::Can be heard consulting with someone before the comm channel closes::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> ::Closes channel::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Contacts his two security men to come model the lovely uniforms, face shield helmets and weapons.::

FCO_Voraye says:
Aloud: Well. That was......productive.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::feels satisfied her message got through to the chancellor::

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Ma'am, Mr. McGregor’s found dilithium...

CMO_Madson says:
CIV:  With whom?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: He has? Ah.... this then would probably be what the Ferengi were after... hm?

CEO_McGregor says:
:: Shakes his head:: Self: Dirty buggers

CIV_Chitwa says:
CMO: Don't worrrrry about me...this...this is just...nothing.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: It could be... which could mean... ::runs back to her tricorder, and starts looking for patterns which could be 'dilithium' or 'Ferengi'... ::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: I want you to copy all data we have to prepare a packet of information to send to the Chorie government as part of the evidence we have against ambassador Stellan.

CSO_Enki says:
<SO_Freedman>  CSO/CO: Ma'am's, something else you might want to know about...

CEO_McGregor says:
::Sends his findings after copying it to disk, to the CSO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Have one of your men send the uniform we confiscated as part of our evidence... ::turns to the SO:: SO: Yes Mister Freedman?

CMO_Madson says:
::turns to look as the data repeats itself exactly::  Lennox:  Well, I think we've lucked out...incredibly so.  This sample is perfectly clean...no hormone at all.  CIV:  Chitwa, you are to be congratulated.  I have something to report to the captain.  And I can't imagine what you could be in trouble for anyway.  I'm sure it can be straightened out

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: Sending all pertinent data to your console now

CTO_Hexx says:
::Dismisses the two men, both disappointed at missing their modeling debut.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Monitor the area where I was beamed from... for transmissions and activity.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::tilts her head and sighs, tugging on her collar some more::

CSO_Enki says:
<SO Freedman> CO/CSO: In the area where Lieutenant McGregor found the dilithium... there's evidence of meteor showers, as recent as 60 years ago.  :Turns from his console::  But this planet never crosses through a meteor field.  There's nothing in the area that could do something like that, no stellar clouds.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Begins scanning the base area::

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: That does not mean a meteor didn’t hit ,If maybe a few small ones might have been towed here

CTO_Hexx says:
CEO: For what purpose?  Unless....maybe there was no dilithium on the planet until it was seeded there with meteors?

CEO_McGregor says:
CSO: Couldn’t it?

CSO_Enki says:
<SO_Freedman> CSO/CO: The probes have also picked up chronoton readings from the area where you were beamed up from.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO/SO: Yes, I know asteroids can be moved... but... ::hears Hexx:: yes, that would be my question

CEO_McGregor says:
CTO: Or visitors, unseen, detected it. and the meteor's were one way of uncovering it

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
SO: Chronoton? ::eyes grow wide:: Is Stellan from the future?

CSO_Enki says:
CTO: It might have helped to mine it?  Blows away the overlying layers

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: It's an old trick ma'am, seeding a mine with gold to trick a buyer.  Used to use a shotgun loaded with gold dust and small nuggets.

CMO_Madson says:
::notices the Caitian pulling on her collar and wonders why she still wears it, but will have to address that at another time::  *CO*:  Captain?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::scratches her fur under her collar and sighs happily::

CTO_Hexx says:
CSO: Could be.

CSO_Enki says:
<SO_Freedman> CO: I'm not sure.  Has medical scanned him, noticed any oddities on his cellular level?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::shakes her head as she was just about to contact the good doctor:: *CMO*: Yes Doctor?

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  I believe I have some excellent news...although I won't say definitively until we have had time to complete some testing.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Excellent! I have a question for you... on Stellan... did you detect any chronitons in his cellular structure indicating he was from the future?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks over a tray of tools and picks up a hypospray and looks it over::

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  I've found a clean sample of water.  'Clean' as in free of the hormone.  Almost the only way to have that would be a hormone devouring bacterium.  If we can isolate it and rev up its replication, then we could spread it around the entire planet, thus eradicating the hormone causing the sterility.  It would have eventually happened.

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  But it would have taken centuries.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Can this bacteria be replicated?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
<delete references to future questions by Llewellyn>

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  Replicated?  A live entity?  Not and retain it's bio properties, but it could probably be encouraged to reproduce at an increased rate.  ::thinks about what aphrodisiac a bacterium could be fed::

CSO_Enki says:
::Her tricorder beeps and she waits to speak to the Captain, raising a finger to tell her she's waiting::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::tries to force her collar off using the tricorder as a lever::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::shakes her head:: *CMO*: Um... I mean... incubated... created in mass quantity... forgive me. I know better.

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  Yes, we should be able to do that.  How quickly we can accomplish it, I wouldn't be sure again until that testing is begun, but we'll get right on it.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*CMO*: Great! Let me know about your progress.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::loses her balance and falls off the biobed::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: So you've given up on conversation, then?

FCO_Voraye says:
::Taken aback:: OPS: Well, after my failed attempt to find out why you were frazzled, which I can only assume was also the reason you're late, I figured it was kind of pointless.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: I see.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: See, this is what I mean, you have no real response that keeps the conversation going!

CMO_Madson says:
*CO*:  I will definitely keep you apprised.  <Dr Lennox> ::his reflexes are quick and moves to break Chitwa's fall::  CIV:  Why don't you wait a second until I can take a look at that...before you do yourself some damage there.  ::smiles at her and removes the tricorder from her hand::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
All: Alright... so what do we have... so far... :: suddenly realizes she forgot something::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: Oh.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Well, I might have even more.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Frustrated:: Aloud: Gaaahhh!

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: We never found the Dorane... ::looks worried::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::blinks and looks up at him:: Dr. Lennox: Oh...alrrright.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears the FCO:: FCO: What?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: I'm going to teach our duty OPS how to have a conversation.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Oh... ::turns back to the rest of the crew::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: What else do you have?

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Okay, here's how it works; I say something, then you respond to that something with another comment that merits a response. This is called "dialogue." It's a simple enough concept.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: You know, if I didn't think you have my best interests at heart here, I'd almost be insulted.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: It's okay, that doesn't mean much to me, I insult people all the time.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: When we discovered the dilithium, I looked for patterns in the code which could be 'dilithium' or 'Ferengi'...  it blew most of this open.  Looks like most of this is a financial ledger.  Trades for ships, cloaks, other technology... all paid for in that precious mineral.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: So I've heard. ::Scoff::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Taken aback once more:: OPS: What's that supposed to mean?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: What's the matter, you can dish it, but you can't take it?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CSO: Ah.... and who was paid?

CSO_Enki says:
::Thought that would have been obvious::  CO: The Ferengi, ma'am.

CTO_Hexx says:
FCO/OPS: Hey fellers'.  If'n y'all can't concentrate on the situation, I can remedy it.  Now watch your stations.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::Dr. Lennox reminds her of her father and she sniffles::

CMO_Madson says:
CIV:  You can continue the scans, Chitwa.  We might hit the jackpot and find another specimen...double our luck.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS>::Turns to Hexx:: CTO: Sorry, caught up in the moment, sir.

CIV_Chitwa says:
CMO: Okay.

FCO_Voraye says:
CTO: Ditto.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::wonders if mercury is retrograde as she doesn't seem to be getting herself across:: CSO: I mean... who was working with the Ferengi.. I'm sorry...

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox> ::frowns, sensing her sadness:: CIV:  Chitwa, you really need to talk, luv.  It doesn't take an empath to see you have something bothering you.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::moves another sample under the scanner::  Dr. Lennox: I just miss my dad.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::hears Hexx and looks at OPS and FCO sternly::

CTO_Hexx says:
FCO/OPS: Y'all remind me of my brothers sometimes.  ::Shakes his head but smiles::

CSO_Enki says:
::Not sure what the Captain's asking, ventures a guess::  CO: Stellan

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> ::Begins tapping out something random on the console::

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: With your permission ma'am, I'll go have a chat with General Stellan.  Havin' a Betazoid around might help, he's seems to be a closed mouth feller.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Spots something:: OPS: Now that we've had our argument shut down ::In a softer tone:: I'm going to take a wild guess at what's bothering you. It's your wife, isn't it?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CSO: So it looks like he was working alone then... and not with the knowledge of his government. ::hears Hexx:: CTO: Just a minute

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox>  ::moves back to his station and brings up the same readings as Dr Madson::  CIV: I see.  I hope that's good?

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: Now what would make you say that?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::confused:: Dr. Lennox: Huh?

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: You have a tan line on your left ring finger that looks like it hasn't seen sunlight in some time.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CSO: I'd like a copy of that information sent in a packet to the Chorie government. When can you get one ready for me?

CSO_Enki says:
::Moves over to Aux Sci::  CO: Twenty seconds or so.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: I'll be happy to go with you.

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox>  CIV: I didn't always get along with my dad, so I'm hoping you did....if I remind you of him.  ::gives her a half smile::

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> ::Looks down at left hand, moves it quickly out of view:: FCO: Okay, you've got me there.

CIV_Chitwa says:
Dr. Lennox: He was a wonderrrful man. ::sees the light and moves another sample under scanner::

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Care to talk about it?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: CSO: Can you contact the planet below... tell them the coordinates of the base below... so they can see the physical evidence for themselves... and send them one of the uniforms...

CSO_Enki says:
::Has the computer start copying the information they've decoded so far::  CO: Aye, ma'am.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::over hears the FCO, feels a sharp pang in her own issues:: FCO: This is not the place for such a discussion. ::swiftly moves to the lift:: CSO: Enki you have the bridge.. CTO: Let's go talk to Stellan.

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox>  CIV:  Very good to know that.  And by the by, my father and I are on excellent terms of late also.  Seems we had a slight disagreement about what profession I should go into to.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Understood.  OPS: Open the channel.

FCO_Voraye says:
<OPS> FCO: I...::Hears the Captain:: Suppose not. CSO: Aye. ::Opens the channel:: Channel open.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::presses the button a bit agitated::

CMO_Madson says:
::starts the computer separating all the individual bacterium for testing::

CTO_Hexx says:
::Turns his station over to a Tac guy ad follows the CO::

CIV_Chitwa says:
Dr. Lennox: My fatherrr was a healerrr ::hears a beep and looks up:: CMO: Ummm I think I found anotherrr one.

CSO_Enki says:
COM: Galen: Chancellor Galen, this is Commander Enki, from the Europa.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sees the lift arrive, lets the CTO in, then gets in herself:: TL: Brig,

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*SO*: Freedman, if you can, try to find the Dorane delegation in that base... let me know if you do not find them.

CTO_Hexx says:
::Stands with hands behind his back, facing forward.::

Host Chancellor_Galen says:
@COM: Europa: CSO: Commander, How can I help you?  Do you have the information we requested?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: What did you want to ask Stellan?

CSO_Enki says:
<SO_Freedman> *CO*: Aye, ma'am.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Well, you told me to interrogate him.  Haven't had time.  But you mentioned the Dorane delegation and I reckon Stellan is the best person to ask.

CSO_Enki says:
COM: Galen: Captain Llewellyn is beaming down with the information as you requested.  I have been informed to direct you to the site of General Stellan's base, so that you can send your local law enforcement personnel to investigate, possibly find the Dorane ambassadorial team.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Ah... we can do that... I should be able to tell if the Dorane are alive or dead if we phrase the question properly.

CSO_Enki says:
<SO_Freedman> *CO*: Ma'am, the cloak is still active, and we as of yet cannot penetrate it.

CTO_Hexx says:
CO: Maybe you ought to remain out of sight whilst I ask him some pointed questions.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
Self: Damn. *SO*: Keep trying.... see what you can do.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Good idea. ::smiles a bit of an evil smile::
