Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa Has answered a distress call from a very unusual ship.  It's Commander has just tried, and failed, to contact his homeworld...

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sitting Center chair, wondering what to do next...::  CTO: Open a hail to Theron.

EO_Calma says:
@::onboard the bioship, helping Cmdr. Theron ensure the systems haven't been affected from 
the extended "coma"::

AXO_Durron says:
::still sitting at the helm station::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::standing next to the AXO, studying his console::

CTO_Lingn says:
::opens a hail::

AXO_Durron says:
::watching the CIV out of the corner of his eye::

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: Commander, status?

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Yes, I haven't been able to reach the Colonies... but on the bright side the ship seems to be doing well.

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: I see...  how far away is the nearest colony outpost?

CIV_Chitwa says:
AXO: SO what do you think about the aliens?

AXO_Durron says:
CIV: They are a curiosity.

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: The Colony is not far from here, my ship should be able to make it in about 3 days.

CIV_Chitwa says:
AXO: A currriousity like me, or a currriousity like the Borrrg?

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: What is your top speed?

AXO_Durron says:
CIV: Somewhere in between.  I would call you...unique while I would call the Borg a threat.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grins:: AXO: What do you think of the Captain? ::whispered::

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: I can sustain Warp 7.

CSO_Enki says:
::Pokes at her console, trying to see if she can glean any new information::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Wonders what Chitwa and Durron are whispering about as she glances below the viewer.::

CTO_Lingn says:
::runs scans::

AXO_Durron says:
::whispers back:: CIV: I don't know yet.

CIV_Chitwa says:
AXO: You don't? ::sighs:: Oh, okay. ::trots over and sits in the XO's chair and types on her PADD::

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: Alright... Well I hate to abandon you at this point, how about we escort you  home?

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Perhaps we should go first and make sure the coast is clear, we can get there faster.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks up at the CO studying her for a moment, then types on her PADD::

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: That is a very gracious offer.  ::Thinking the Europa would be a better "escort" from a Military standpoint::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Pauses a moment, catching some of Theron's thought.::  COM:Theron: Alright, engage your course, we'll follow along side you.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: A good idea, but I'd prefer Theron present if we encounter his people or the Claderins...

AXO_Durron says:
::waits for the bioship to set a course::

CTO_Lingn says:
::Nods at the CO::

EO_Calma says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Captain, I'd like to stay here to keep an eye on their engines.. after their extended 'coma', sustaining maximum warp for 3 days could be disastrous. Besides, this could be a great learning experience for all of us.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks around the Bridge, and at the viewscreen, then back at the CO::

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Very well.  Our repairs are complete.  Thank you for your assistance.  Do you wish to beam some of your crew back to your ship?

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Calma: Very well Mr. Calma.

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: My EO has expressed concern over sustained warp flight of your ship.  He's requesting permission to remain aboard to keep an eye on your engines.

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: That would be great.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::leans back for a moment, allowing the CO a glimpse of her PADD..it is an essay titled, "The Officer I Admire Most"::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Notices Chitwa expose her PADD, and blushes as she reads the title.::  COM:Theron: Errr, Mr. Calma will be remaining aboard then.  Engage course when ready.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Shall I prepare for battle? We may not get a warm greeting.

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: Very well, sending course to you now, and engaging... ::Sends the course to the Europa and engages at Warp 7::

AXO_Durron says:
::sets a course following along the Bioship's course to the first solar system along that line of flight and engages at Warp Seven::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm, maintain yellow alert standing.  I don't want to give the wrong impression once we reach that outpost.

CTO_Lingn says:
::nods::

CIV_Chitwa says:
Self: Cool

AXO_Durron says:
::watches the ship come up to speed and easily pace the Bioship::

CIV_Chitwa says:
CO: So we just follow them?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CIV: Yep.  ::sits back and smiles.::  Follow them, for the next three days.  

CIV_Chitwa says:
CO: Thrrree days? Wow.... You sit therrre the whole time?

CTO_Lingn says:
CIV: It is not always exciting. There are duties which are very boring.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CIV: Well... ::giggles:: Fortunately not.  Lt. Lingn is right, patience is an important quality for an officer.

CIV_Chitwa says:
CTO: Oh, I know about that. But you rrreally stay herrre the whole time? No time off?

CTO_Lingn says:
CIV: We take turns.

CIV_Chitwa says:
CTO: Oh. Neato.

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
Action: Three days later the Europa , and the Alien ship, enter a Star system.  While there is a Class M planet detected, sensors are unable to ascertain whether there are any life signs or energy readings, due to a high amount of radiation covering the planet.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::taking a nap under the CO's chair::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Spins forward in her command chair, as their approach is announced.::  CSO: Sensor Analysis Commander?

CTO_Lingn says:
::runs tactical scans::

AXO_Durron says:
::looks around the bridge and verifies the deceleration procedure::

EO_Calma says:
@::looks at the sensor readings:: Self: Well, I'm glad they haven't noticed we're here..

CTO_Lingn says:
::Accidentally steps on the CIV's tail::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::hears the chair squeak and sits up, bumping her head on the bottom of the chair:: Self: Owwwwwwww....

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Lowers head, and looks under the chair.:: CIV: You ok ??

AXO_Durron says:
::looks at the CO's squeaky chair and raises an eyebrow::

CSO_Enki says:
::Pokes at her board::  CO: K-type star, possibly heading towards the later parts of its lifespan... twelve planets, the fifth of which is class M terrestrial.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::rubs her head and nods slowly, tears forming at the corners of her eyes::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks back up:: CSO: Lifesigns on that planet?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::climbs out from under the CO's chair, and stretches::

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Lifesign readings are inconclusive from high level radiation.  Levels appear non-lethal at this time, but could have been at one time.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Frowns, thinking that doesn’t' sound good.::  CTO: Hail theron's ship...

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Everything is clear on  Tactical sensors.

CTO_Lingn says:
::hails the Bioship::

AXO_Durron says:
::maintains distance to the Bioship::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Nods to Lingn, then turns to the viewer.::  COM:Theron: Commander, we can't verify life signs on the planet, there is high radiation.  What use to be here before?

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: CO: This doesn't look good Captain.  I'm not detecting any energy readings from the planet's surface, but I am getting some lifesigns and energy readings from below the surface.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks at the CO::

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: Shall we attempt contact?  Enter orbit, and we'll follow you in...

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Shall I organize a team to explore the underground?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Are radiation levels safe for a team to go down?

EO_Calma says:
@Theron: A form of hibernation, in the event of orbital bombardment?

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM:Europa: CO: Radiation I'm detecting is the same signature as the Claderin weapons... Communications will not make it through the radiation and the planet itself.  We will have to land to investigate.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grins:: Self: A landing parrrty....cool ::wags her tail::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Safe with some treatment.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Almost sighs as the universe always finds a way to foil the transporters.::  CTO: Have sickbay prepare injections to counter the radiations effects...

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Aye. ::sends the message to sickbay::

Host CO_Farrel says:
COM:Theron: Agreed, we'll assemble a team to accompany you... we'll contact you and shuttle everyone down together, ok?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::looks over at the CO:: CO: I can help...I can take scans and stuff...::gives her a big smile:: pleeeeeeeaaaaassseeeeeeeeeee?

AXO_Durron says:
::puts the Europa into a high geocentric orbit than signals the shuttle bay to prepare a shuttlecraft for use::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CIV: I dunno... it could be dangerous down there...  are you sure Chitwa?

CIV_Chitwa says:
CO: I'll be good, I prrromise.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I believe the Cadet should stay here until we secured the Area.

AXO_Durron says:
::double checks the orbit and locks it in::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Considers.:: CIV: The CTO is right Chitwa, an entire civilization has collapsed down there from radiation fallout...  things could be lawless and chaotic down there... it's too dangerous.

CSO_Enki says:
::Plays around with the sensors to break through the radiation... let's see... beta waves of a certain frequency... modulating the subspace lateral array may break through::

CIV_Chitwa says:
::ears flicks back:: CO: Awwwww..... ::looks down and sighs::

CTO_Lingn says:
::sends a message to the Tac Department to have a fully armed security team meet him in the shuttlebay::

CIV_Chitwa says:
CO: You surrre? ::looks up:: I'm prrretty tough.

AXO_Durron says:
::triple checks the orbit::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Hopes the young Caitian takes no for an answer, and looks around.::  AXO: Well, Commander, assemble your away team.  make sure you use EVA suits and get the anti radiation injection from sickbay...

AXO_Durron says:
CO: Wouldn't you like to lead the away team, sir?

CTO_Lingn says:
AXO: I have a Security Team waiting for us in shuttlebay.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CIV: Sorry, it's just too dangerous this time...  maybe next time, ok?

CIV_Chitwa says:
CO: Prrromise?

CTO_Lingn says:
CO/AXO: A Captain is to remain on the bridge, regulations prohibit it.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::eyes light up, she's never had an XO who offered that to her before.:: XO: You mean, you won't try and stop me?

AXO_Durron says:
CO: I don't see a serious threat in this situation.  Besides it looks like it is going to be mostly diplomacy, and I'm no good at that.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grabs the CO's hand:: CO: You stay with me then....we can play.

AXO_Durron says:
::carefully ignores the CTO's statement::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: If you do so, I must object, but it is your ship.

CSO_Enki says:
::Calls down to the array control rooms::  *SO*: I need you to tune the interferometer sensor arrays to .019-delta.

CIV_Chitwa says:
::grins:: CO: If I have to stay, so do you.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Looks like a disappointed child, as Chitwa grabs her.:: CIV: But... oh alright...  we'll go together then...

CTO_Lingn says:
::goes to the lift::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Sorry Mr. Lingn...but it's been a long time since I’ve been on an away mission...  

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Stands.:: AXO: Take command of the ship...  

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Very well, Sir.

AXO_Durron says:
::locks down the orbit than stands and turns to the CO::CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO/CTO/CIV: Commander, Lt., Cadet...you're with me.  ::Walks over to the lift.::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I have a security team waiting for us.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Captain, wait a moment...

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Pauses.:: CSO: Found something?

CIV_Chitwa says:
::sticks her tongue out at the CTO and trots next to the CO::

AXO_Durron says:
::walks over to the Big Chair and looks around the quickly emptying bridge shrugs and than looks at the CSO::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I would prefer to bring along an escort for your protection.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Possibly, Captain.  I'm reading subterranean lifeforms, and energy readings...

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: how many men did you have in mind?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: A Subterranean civilization?

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: No more than two.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Nods to the CTO.::

CSO_Enki says:
CO: It could be.  The life readings... are still fuzzy.  Number, species... not able to pick those things up.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Send those coordinates to the shuttle... unless, are transporters cutting through the interference?

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Also getting energy readings... there's some similarities to the outputs of the bioship, not what would be expected from the surface technologies.

CSO_Enki says:
::Shakes her head as she turns around::  CO: I still wouldn't want to beam through that.

CSO_Enki says:
CO: Not unless... ::Thinks::  The transporter could be tuned...

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Is it safe?  I don't want to end up in the mirror universe... ::Chuckles::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: I would recommend a runabout. The transporter should only be used for a last resort.

CSO_Enki says:
::chuckles back::  CO: Oh, no, the horrors... but, yes, it would be.. well, just as safe as any other transport.

AXO_Durron says:
::standing by the big chair listing to the CSO::

Host Cmdr_Theron says:
@COM: Europa: I am ready to send a team down.  I suggest we split up, so we can cover more ground.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Considers the two opposing opinions.::  All: We'll use the runabout, just in case...  CTO: have sickbay load the hypos on the shuttle.

CTO_Lingn says:
::sends a note to sickbay to deliver the hypos to shuttlebay::

Host CO_Farrel says:
AXO: If you need any help up here, remember Mr. Calma is still on the bioship...  

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Enters and holds lift for the others.:: AXO: Take care of her Commander...

AXO_Durron says:
CO: I am aware of that.

CTO_Lingn says:
::enters the lift again::

AXO_Durron says:
CTO: Keep her Safe Mr. Lingn.

AXO_Durron says:
CO: I intend to sir.

CTO_Lingn says:
AXO: I always do.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Blushes slightly.::  TL: main shuttlebay.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: If you don't mind, could I fly? I have been neglecting my flight time.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Sure...  ::Recollects her arrival on the Europa, plopping the shuttle down in the shuttlebay rather hard...::
