USS GENEVA MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10504.01

SB says:
Last time, on the USS Geneva...
SB says:
All three teams from the crew continued to grapple with fundamental societal differences, as the surface Away Team dealt with a zealous press corps, the biomedical team continued to slowly translate symbols, and the Geneva staff were shocked to find the Aquoton ship had survived.
SB says:
We now rejoin the crew after an hour has passed…

TO_Keach says:
#::Sitting at the helm on the shuttle drumming his fingers on the console::
SB says:
<Olpinfa> ::sitting in an open chair at the back of the Bridge, still trying to digest the whole revelation that Aquoton is now on equal contention - again - for Federation contact::
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Awaiting word from JelonTek, the Consortium or whoever else cares to respond. We are comfortable in the shuttle::
CIV_Azanna says:
::enters the bridge, her duster coat flapping around her - she changed after some strange looks from an ensign::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: It shouldn't be much longer now.
XO_Taal says:
$::sitting in a chair on the medical transport's bridge::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: It's surprising the Briengogh get anything done.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge at the XO chair for now, feeling Hansre's presence and wondering just what might be going through his head after the recent revelations about the Aquoton competition::
CIV_Azanna says:
::perks an ear and steps next to the CTO, holding an unlit cigar::
TO_Keach says:
#::Checks the chronometer:: CNS: Everything seems to be a competition
OPS_L`yaian says:
$XO/CMO: Hmm, well, nice that we know what we're doing now ::looking over the translated controls:: What should we be doing first, sir?
SB says:
ACTION: A new warning goes off on the Engineering display panel. It's another cascade failure. This one fires up the ship's re-entry thrusters. The console readout reads "Critical Multi-System Failure: Returning to surface..."
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: It was unfortunate Ens. Jakiel was recalled to the Geneva. Looks like it's up to the two of us now.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Yes indeed. Don't go rushing into any trouble now sir
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Apparently, we have a problem.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: If something were to happen I don't think I can fend off too many people  ::grins::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: That's what you're here for. To keep me out of trouble. ::Smiles as he looks up from his PADD::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::goes to open the comm to speak with Rhianna now that she has returned to Geneva, but decides not to, being on duty and all::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::blinks:: XO: ...no kidding - re-entry thrusters have fired up due to a cascade failure...
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Suggestions?
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: I'll try to play it right. I can handle them. Hope they can handle me. They may not like what I have to say.
SB says:
ACTION: Geneva and the surface away team shuttle both receive a hail, still old-style sublight radio, from a location on another continent of the planet
OPS_L`yaian says:
$XO: We fix it, I should hope... ::starts to look for the source of the problem::
TO_Keach says:
#::His console catches his attention:: CNS: Ah-ha, they are trying to contact us
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Well, let's see what they have to say.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::hears the comm beep on the OPS station:: Duty OPS: Another radio signal. Put it through on speakers.
CSO_Tunik says:
::enters the bridge and observes the atmosphere::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Yes sir ::opens the channel to hear what it says::
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Agreed.
CIV_Azanna says:
::perks ears and tilts her head as she hears the door open, her long spotted tail twitching::
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Listens for incoming Communication:: TO: This should be good.
TO_Keach says:
#::Watches closely to identify where it came from:: CNS: Apparently, it's from another continent
CSO_Tunik says:
::raises an eyebrow, not seeing any command officers::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: That's interesting.
SB says:
% <Secretary> COM: Geneva/shuttle: Representatives of the United Federation of Planets... Due to rapidly developing circumstances surrounding JelonTek and Aquoton's professional relationships in the same market, and your involvement, The Consortium of Global Industries Council is convening an emergency session. Your attendance is requested. Meeting will commence in The General Assembly Building, at the coordinates of this transmission, in approximately 20 minutes.
CIV_Azanna says:
::lifts her cigar to her mouth and gives the Vulcan a toothy grin::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::focuses on the message, not quite noticing Tunik's entrance::
SB says:
ACTION: Before long, the biomedical ship enters the upper atmosphere, on an approach course back to the JelonTek Launch Complex - apparently where it was originally launched from
TO_Keach says:
#::Reads for the coordinates::
CIV_Azanna says:
::taps Kizlev with the back of her paw:: CTO: Kizzie.... we got company.
XO_Taal says:
$::trying to figure out where they are going::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::looks at the readouts from the consoles in confusion:: XO: Sir?... We appear to be heading back to Briengogh... or, rather, just entered the upper atmosphere...
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Looks like we are going to a meeting. I guess they were listening when I requested the Consortiums attention.
CSO_Tunik says:
::walks towards the command chair::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::blinks and turns about, then smiles to see the ole Vulcan science officer return from one of his Starfleet exploits:: CSO: Commander Tunik? Sir, a pleasure to have you aboard. I heard we had just admitted a visitor moments ago.
CIV_Azanna says:
::low growl at the stranger::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Looks like it sir. We are traveling pretty far from the shuttle this time
CTO_Kizlev says:
::watches Tunik approach Shras' chair::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Hey, the gig is up now. I say we arrive to the meeting in style. Fire up the engines Mr. Keach. We are going for a ride.
CSO_Tunik says:
CTO: Yes. Considering my mission proximity to this ship, it seemed illogical not to provide a hand in this mission. So, I transferred commission. ::looks around:: I have updated myself to a degree with your current mission. Are you in command?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods:: CSO: I am for now. ::glances at Farina:: Did you just hear that message from the Briengogh Consortium?
TO_Keach says:
#::Nods and races to fire up the engines checking all systems while at it:: CNS: All systems ready
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Then, see if you can contact the Captain or Mr. Taal.
CIV_Azanna says:
::lashes her tail and steps back, lighting her cigar::
SB says:
ACTION: The ship breaks through the upper atmosphere and the cloud barriers, to reveal it's on final approach to one of the landing strips next to the surface away team's shuttle
CSO_Tunik says:
::nods:: CTO: Yes. It would be appropriate if I proceed to assist. Are you going or have Captain Shras or Commander Taal already proceeded to attend?
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: You picking up that. Another vessel is landing near us.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::leans forward looking out the windows:: XO: Eh?...Isn't that a Starfleet shuttle?... The Away Team must still be down there.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Can you identify it?
CIV_Azanna says:
::laughs:: CSO: We took overrr the ship. She's ourrs now. ::grins::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Federation?
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: See if you can hail them.
TO_Keach says:
#::slides his hands across the panel trying to scan the vessel:: CNS: Okay, I'll try
SB says:
ACTION: The ship's navigational display, primitive as it is, shows the Geneva's shuttle, which is just beginning to take off, is entering into the biomedical ship's approach space.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: Well, I would go myself if I could. I think the captain already expressed his interest in conducting whatever further diplomatic function was necessary given light of recent discoveries.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::clears his throat as he momentarily glares at Farina:: CIV: Ahem... ::then wryly winks::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$XO: Ack, they're heading into our air space - where's the comm on this ship? ::stops and thinks:: Wait a minute, combadges would work at this distance, right?
XO_Taal says:
$ALL: Brace yourself. We may have contact.
CSO_Tunik says:
::looks at Azanna with a raised eyebrow, and takes what she's said under consideration:: CTO: And you have people on the surface. ::looks at the bridge staff:: Commander Bauer would be there. I will replace your recently departing science officer.
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Worth a try.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Check its trajectory. Do they see us? ::Gets up moves to Co-pilot seat::
CIV_Azanna says:
::gives the CTO a grin and takes a drag from her cigar::
TO_Keach says:
#COM: Alien Ship: Can you read this? Federation ship near you, don't hit us
CTO_Kizlev says:
::pauses with mention of Jakiel:: CSO: Yes.... yes of course, sir. It is good to have you back.
CSO_Tunik says:
::looks at the CIV in shock:: CTO: I was not aware Starfleet was lenient about smoking on the bridge.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: I am not sure. They better see us
OPS_L`yaian says:
$COM: Shuttle: Geneva Shuttle? This is Ensign L'yaian, we're not familiar enough with the controls here; it'll be a whole lot easier if you try to avoid hitting us... err, sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Let's get out of there way, quick
TO_Keach says:
#::Hits the thrusters to maneuver quickly::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$XO: Sir? I don't suppose this thing will land all nice and easily, will it?...
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::looks a tad worried::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: It.... it is an old habit of hers. She is a civilian specialist here acting as Geneva's guest combat weapons and tactics instructor.
CSO_Tunik says:
CTO: At this time, is it possible to communicate with either the captain or first officer?
CNS_Bauer says:
#COM: OPS: L'yaian? Is that you? 
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Depends on your definition of 'nice and easily'. Either way, I do not know.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: I wasn't aware we had another shuttle in the manifest sir?
CIV_Azanna says:
::grins:: CSO: Old.... old habit. ::blows smoke rings::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$COM: CNS: Yes sir, I'm on this medical transport with Commander Taal and the Doctor, sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
#COM: OPS: We are headed for the meeting with the Consortium. Do you need assistance? 
CNS_Bauer says:
#COM: Ask Taal if he has any advice.
TO_Keach says:
#::Sets a course for the coordinates of the consortium::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::looks at the XO:: XO: Do you think we can handle ourselves, sir? And, um, advice for them, sir?
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Advice regarding what?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: Communication has just been reestablished with Commander Taal's team. The captain is indisposed elsewhere at this time.
SB says:
ACTION: The biomedical ship lands "softly", for better or worse, on the landing strip, and begins taxiing past the shuttle, down the taxiway, towards the previously-identified Diversified Medical buildings on the far end of the complex
OPS_L`yaian says:
$XO: ::shrugs:: I'm just relaying the message, sir
CSO_Tunik says:
::nods:: CTO: Then, I will make my way to aid the away team.
TO_Keach says:
#::Checks the readout:: CNS: We should arrive at the meeting with time to spare Commander
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: Ask them to clarify their request.
SB says:
<Olpinfa> ::finally speaks up:: CTO: Whomever you send down to the meeting, I should go also. I'm JelonTek's owner and representative on the panel, usually.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$COM: CNS: The Commander wants some clarification, sir - what sort of advice?
CNS_Bauer says:
TO: Very good. I guess we are alone on this one. Unless the Captain makes a dramatic entrance at the meeting later.... which is his style.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: Very good. OPS: I want you to establish a stable lock on both away teams this time. No more excuses on interference this time. Olpinfa: That's agreeable. I can escort you to the transporter room now if you wish. ::stands::
CSO_Tunik says:
::turns to leave, but stops:: CTO: It is not among Captain Shras' habits to disregard Starfleet policy about smoking on the bridge. Are you the one that has... permitted this action?
CIV_Azanna says:
::smirks at the CSO::
CNS_Bauer says:
*OPS*: Well, he is my superior. I guess I was just looking for a clue as to my next move at the meeting with the Consortium. Maybe, new orders for me? Maybe just a good luck. He can take his pick.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::looks at the XO:: XO: I guess you heard that then, sir?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::his antennae twitch in embarrassment:: CSO: I am he who has allowed it, yes. The air filters render the smoke harmless, however.
XO_Taal says:
$OPS: I have not been apprised of their recent situation. Therefore, I am ill-equipped to offer... advice.
CSO_Tunik says:
::nods:: CTO: Thank you. I will be on the surface. ::nods to the CIV before departing the bridge::
SB says:
ACTION: The ship comes to stop in front of Diversified Medical's tiny private airport terminal. Some engineering support personnel rush aboard as the door opens, only to stare in bewilderment at the Federation crew aboard.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::looks at the Commander for a moment:: *CNS* Ah, he says Good Luck, sir... ::smiles innocently::
CIV_Azanna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Interrresting fellow.
CTO_Kizlev says:
CSO: But I assure you, she is resourceful... ::recalls the good old bounty huntin' days:: ...extremely resourceful.
CNS_Bauer says:
*OPS/XO*: Ok, well, I guess we will see you when we see you. Be well.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Vulcans. They are an odd sort.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::turns to see people entering the ship and nudges the XO:: XO: We've got company, sir...
SB says:
<Olpinfa> ::follows the CSO into the turbolift::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: ::Chuckles a bit:: Yes, yes they are
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks at Kizlev: CTO: I'm in charrrge?
XO_Taal says:
$::looks at the support personnel looking at them::
TO_Keach says:
#::Looks out the windows to see where he is going meanwhile checking the coordinates:: Self: Where to land, where to land?
CSO_Tunik says:
Computer: Transporter Room One. CTO: Most certain she is. Indeed I am certain. ::turbolift doors close::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stops midway to the TL, looks about, and stops:: CSO: I see. ::nods to Hansre:: Olpinfa: The Commander will be your guide to the surface. ::returns to the XO chair::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: It's a pretty planet. To bad the locals are so backward.
XO_Taal says:
$::waits for someone to say something::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Yes, but the Federation has members that are backward as well
XO_Taal says:
$::turns to Kazue and Verai::
SB says:
$<Support Engineers>  ::all staring at the odd people - definitely not Briengoghian - how'd they get aboard???::
XO_Taal says:
$CMO/OPS: We should be heading back to the Geneva.
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::slowly raises a paw in greeting:: Personnel: Ah, greetings....
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: That's very true. I will try to remember that. You ever think about a career in diplomacy, Ensign?
CTO_Kizlev says:
CIV: I knew the war with the Dominion shorted Starfleet on many good officers, but I didn't think it would last even today. ::amazed at the lack of senior personnel on the bridge lately::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::nods at the Commander:: XO: That might be a good idea, sir..
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: Tell your staff to prepare for departure.
CIV_Azanna says:
::sits down in the XO's chair:: CTO: Ahh well... ::takes a long drag and sighs::
XO_Taal says:
$Support Personnel: You will find your people are cured.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Actually, I have but then I think about all the paperwork and forget the thought
XO_Taal says:
$::prepares to exit the shuttle, but turns around::
SB says:
$ <Support Engineers>::still standing there, completely silent and perplexed... they know our language??? And the people are cured???::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: I hear that. 
XO_Taal says:
$Support Personnel: You should also consider building more efficient vessels.
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Besides, you need charisma and talent to deal with other life forms.
XO_Taal says:
$::exits the shuttle and taps his combadge::
CSO_Tunik says:
::exits turbolift and enters transporter room:: Transporter OPS: Transport me to Commander Bauer's location on my order. ::taps combadge:: *CNS*: Tunik to Bauer.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sees Farina change her mind and sit in the captain's chair::
OPS_L`yaian says:
$::follows the XO off the shuttle, giving the personnel a small smile and a shrug as she leaves::
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Well, let's look for a place to land. We should get to the meeting sight. They said 20 minutes. Wouldn't want to be late. That would make the Federation look bad.
XO_Taal says:
$*Geneva*: Taal to Geneva. Five to beam up.
CIV_Azanna says:
Self: Hmmmm comfy.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::grins:: CIV: And just when I thought you wanted to get cozy with me... ::chuckles::
CNS_Bauer says:
*CSO*: Ummmmm, Bauer here. 
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: No we wouldn't. ::Looks for a nice place to land and initiates landing procedures::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Duty OPS> *XO*: Acknowledged, sir. Energizing....
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks over at him:: CTO: Hey I gave up on the blue stuff yearrrs ago..... No offense.
CTO_Kizlev  (Transporter.wav)
XO_Taal says:
$::dematerializes::
CSO_Tunik says:
*CNS*: I am standing by for transport to your location. Is there any reason why it would not be in yours or the away team's best interest for me not to do so?
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Thinks voice sounds strangely familiar::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::materializes on the Geneva after the Commanders order to transport them back::
XO_Taal says:
::rematerializes on the Geneva::
SB says:
$ <Support Engineers>::watch the odd people vanish right in front of them. Stare, mouth agape, before looking at each other for an off-beat moment, screaming, and running off the ship back inside the building as fast as possible::
XO_Taal says:
::exits the Transporter Room and heads for the bridge::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CIV: You know, perhaps I should tell you the story of this one Caitian I met after.... ::stands to see the OPS engage the transporters::
CSO_Tunik says:
::looks at Olpinfa:: Olpinfa: Is there a specific reason why you have chosen me as the person to follow?
CNS_Bauer says:
*CSO*: Ummmm, we are about to land. We can send you the coordinates and meet you at the meeting sight. Ummmm, who is this?
SB says:
<Olpinfa> ::looks at the odd platform:: CSO: How are you going to get to the planet from this room?
XO_Taal says:
::enters a turbolift and heads for the bridge::
CIV_Azanna says:
::perks ears and looks up at him::
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: ::Touches down:: Okay smooth as silk
XO_Taal says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the bridge::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Report.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::makes her way out of the transporter room, and makes her way to a turbolift, ordering it to the bridge when she enters it::
CTO_Kizlev says:
<Duty OPS> CTO: Commander Taal's away team just returned, sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Excellent. Shut her down and secure her tight.
CIV_Azanna says:
::raises an eyebrow as the Vulcan walks in, but continues sitting in the comfy CO's chair::
CSO_Tunik says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Olpinfa: I'm sorry. You cannot be here. ::turns:: Transporter OPS: Please have security escort this individual out of such sensitive technology.
TO_Keach says:
#::Engines turned off and all systems put to sleep mode::
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Gets up and moves to shuttles exit::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::looks at the OPS officer on Duty as she walks onto the bridge, giving him a slight nod as she takes over::
CSO_Tunik says:
*CNS*: Transmit meeting coordinates. I will be there in a moment’s time. Another matter has presented itself.
CTO_Kizlev says:
XO: Welcome back, sir. We're holding standard orbit around the planet for now. Hansre Olpinfa just left with Commander Tunik to the surface for a meeting with the Briengogh Consortium.
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Commander Tunik?
CNS_Bauer says:
*CSO*: Tunik? Is that you?
CIV_Azanna says:
::leans back in the chair, getting comfy and taking a long drag on her cigar::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods:: XO: Indeed. Operations had confirmed his transfer to the ship the moment he arrived by shuttle.
SB says:
<Olpinfa> ::blinks, confused, as he's led out of the transporter room:: Transporter OPS: I was supposed to go with him to the surface. How do I get to the surface? How does he get to the surface, that's a room that has no portholes??? ::goes into old man asking too many questions mode::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Fascinating.
CSO_Tunik says:
*CNS*: Yes Commander. It is good to talk to you.
XO_Taal says:
::turns to Grey::
CNS_Bauer says:
*CSO*: Well, blow my buttons. Stand by to receive coordinates.
XO_Taal says:
CIV: Ms. Grey, you are welcome on the bridge. However, you are certainly not welcome to smoke. You will either put that out, or be escorted off the bridge by security.
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Sends out location of Consortium meeting::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::returns to tactical looking at Farina all the while::
CSO_Tunik says:
*CNS*: Standing by.
CNS_Bauer says:
*CSO*: We'll meet you inside, old friend. Good to hear your voice.
TO_Keach says:
#::Grabs a shoulder pack with his tools in it and exits the shuttle::
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Follows the Ensign outside::
CIV_Azanna says:
::raises an eyebrow at the XO, then takes the cigar out of her mouth, plays with it for a moment, then puts it back in her mouth and swallows it::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::watches the other Caitian, somewhat horrified by what she just did, before turning her attention quickly back her own console::
XO_Taal says:
CTO: Return to your station.
CNS_Bauer says:
#TO: Well, this just got more interesting. Lead the way Mr. Keach.
CIV_Azanna says:
::blows one last smoke ring and chuckles under her breath::
CSO_Tunik says:
*CNS*: Indeed. Tunik out. ::taps his combadge, then again:: *CTO*: Tunik to Kizlev. There was an individual following me from the bridge. Could you provide me with his identity... and why he was on the bridge?
TO_Keach says:
#CNS: Right. ::Looks around for the right building, holding a tricorder marked with the proper coordinates of the consortium building::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::at his station, raising an eyebrow at the consumed cigar in Farina's mouth, but isn't the first time he's seen her do so::
