STAR TREK: A CALL TO DUTY
PRESENTS 

USS HAYDEN
“THE BIG TIME”
Part One

Ship: USS Hayden 
Fleet: Second
Ship Manager: Michael Jones
Stardate: 10606.21
Mission Number: 350
Arc: The Big Time
Part: 01

Previously …

The USS Hayden was to set out on a four-year exploration of space beyond known Cardassian territory.

Their journey would have taken them to new worlds and new civilizations. They would have found wonders beyond their imagination and mysteries that would draw on every bit of their curiosity.

Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.

A young Trill from the future named Treia traveled back in a desperate gambit to alter history. In her future, the Federation had developed to become a monstrous entity … oppressing billions of innocents in an apparent dark age.

To do so, she unleashed a powerful device of Federation construction. A super-terraformer that was hidden from the public eye, and part of a project long abandoned. Unable to fathom her plan, the Hayden crew confronted the young woman and were nearly brutally defeated by her time-traveling tactics. In the end, however, they managed to capture her.

But it was too late. 

The super-terraformer went to Gamleasia: a world long associated with bad relations with the Federation. It’s former Queen, Morosea Da, had been responsible for three separate assaults on Starfleet vessels, and the murder of Captain Kitana Brinn, the first CO of the USS Seleya. 

In one day’s time, it unleashed it’s mighty forces upon the helpless planet … pummeling city and countryside alike. The planet’s 4.3 billion inhabitants had no where to run … and no one to come to their rescue.

By the time the Hayden and others arrived on the scene, it was far too late for billions of Gamleasians. 

Man, women and child alike.

In the midst of this crisis, Treia broke free and returned to her future … now with renewed hope. However, the Hayden crew was left behind in the present, where they must deal with the gruesome aftermath of her actions …

Dramatis Personae

Debbie Newell is Captain Janet Louise Naegle-Marsland – Commanding Officer of the Hayden, the Terran Naegle is a stern but compassionate leader and parent. While she has been the CO of the Hayden for less than a year, she has come to grow comfortable here, and is looking to the future with hope. Married to one Thomas Marsland, she also has an adopted son, Armen.

Christopher Dickinson is Commander Marla Enki – An operative of PRISM, the elite group that now falls under the Starfleet Special Operations umbrella, the Trill Enki has not had a “normal” life by anyone’s standards. After serving years as a traditional Starfleet officer on a variety of vessels, Enki was whisked away to an alternate Universe where she was brutally tortured for months on end. In her place was a nefarious doppelganger, whom has yet to be brought to justice. Enki eventually escaped her imprisonment, and left Starfleet service for a time to deal with the justice. She has since returned, and now works with PRISM to ensure that threats such as those who harmed her, never harm anyone again.

Amber H. is Lieutenant Commander Aria Sho-tak, M.D. – Executive Officer of the Hayden, the Vulcan / Bajoran Sho-Tak has served as a healer most of her life. Her strength and determination in ensuring that whatever crew she has served with is intact has given her great insight into how this Universe works, and gives her great power as a leader.

Trevor Howard is Lieutenant Othello Quinn Knight – Chief Science Officer of the Hayden, the Terran Knight has served here since his graduation from Starfleet Academy over six years ago. He is perhaps more familiar with this Intrepid Class starship that has come to be his home than any other … and uses his insatiable curiosity and ingenuity as a science officer to guard it at all times.

John Garrison is Lieutenant Isaac Hull – The new Chief Engineering Officer of the Hayden, the Terran Hull has had an extensive career at Starfleet – often traveling from one vessel to another after remaining on the former for a sparse few months. A wanderer by nature, he now brings his engineering skills to the Hayden … that they may very well require of him. 

Lynda Anderson is Lieutenant Brianna Rochelle – One of the many flight control officers assigned to the Hayden, the Betazoid Rochelle also has a secretive history as an operative of Starfleet Intelligence. After various successful assignments she had requested assignment as a conn. officer on the Hayden, her reasons her own. She is accompanied by a genetically engineered telepathic hawk known as “Wild Wind” who guides and amplifies her already impressive psionic abilities.

Jean-Pierre Bernard is Ensign Jorn Thalataar – A recent arrival to the Hayden as their new Chief Tactical Officer, the Tellarite Thalataar is a cautious and inquisitive tactician. Ever mindful of the threats that can face a Federation starship, he is willing to go to any lengths to ensure the well being of this crew … no matter the price.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::battling the eddies and atmospheric currents Brianna tries to keep the ship in a stable orbit::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Monitoring his tricorder, Isaac sees the CTO on his screen, bearing 320 degrees, 100 meters...he looks up towards the direction the CTO is located and heads that way::  

Praetor_Gamel says:
Rummel: Get your team over here and get that man out from under there!

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@COM: SB 375 OPS: Shuttle bay Alpha 37, aye.  I will be arriving momentarily.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CTO*:  This is Lt. Hull, I'm heading your direction, will meet up with you in about 10 minutes

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Starts digging through the ruined building::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::finds the shuttlebay and docks::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Thinks as he looks around, seeing the mass destruction all around him.  There was a reason for these people to fear people that came from space.  He hears his comm.::  *CEO*:  Very well Lieutenant.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#:: hands the helm to the relief FCO and heads double time for the TL and the transporter room::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::powers down the shuttlecraft and exits into the docking ring and onto the Starbase::

CM Lt. White says:
 ::Sees Marla with another body::  IO: Bed 14, Marla... I've got broken bones I need to knit.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#~~~Wild Fire: Transporter room now.~~~

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Finds a life reading on his tricorder, albeit it is a little faint.  He quickly heads for the signal which is only about twenty feet away.::

Wild Fire says:
# ~~~~ AFCO: On my way, boss ~~~~

Praetor_Gamel says:
::lifts a large boulder away and sees a hand reaching out through the small hole that was just created::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::After a few moments he arrives and finds himself within a destroyed home.  There is a wall that is partially fallen on a man.::

ACTION: The surface is a scene of devastation unlike any other. Cities pummeled into nothingness. Meadows turned into lavabeds. Oceans vaporized right down to the bottom. One can almost feel the ghosts in the air.

CM Lt. White says:
::Runs a bone regenerator over a leg of her current patient::  Please hold still...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Walking along what used to be a main avenue of a city, rubble now only exists, there is no straight path to anywhere and Isaac needs his tricorder to give bearing and distance to link up with the CTO::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::slides into the transporter room with tricorder and waits for Wild Fire::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::He moves over to the side a bit, trying to determine the best way of getting the man out.::  Man:  Do not be afraid.  I will get you to safety.

Wild Fire says:
# ::To the surprise of many in the corridors of the Hayden, the hawk glides through, arriving in the transporter room and landing on a PADD beside the AFCO::

Transporter Room Officer says:
# ::Stares at the bird:: AFCO: Uhm, Lieutenant?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#adjusts the padd on her shoulder::

Praetor_Gamel says:
~~~~self: What kind of monster could have done this to a peaceful planet~~~~

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Hands clasped behind his back, he does not look happy::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::Sees an admiral waiting for her:: Garrison: Admiral Garrison? I'm Captain Marsland of the USS Hayden.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Transporter Room Officer: Not to worry.  ::taps the pad and the hawk lifts gently onto her shoulder::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
CM: Is there anywhere I can help out, Lieutenant?

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Tries to lift up a part of the wall so that the man can slide out from underneath.::

ACTION: What the crew has begun to notice is there are not the usual sounds of devastation ... no roaring fires. No screams of children and families ripped asunder. There is a frightening, abnormal silence.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Holds out hand:: CO: Captain Marsland, I am Admiral Drew Garrison. A pleasure to meet you ... I only wish it were under more pleasant circumstances. Please come with me.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Clears a ridge, and can see Jorn focusing on something...or somebody on the ground...he quickens his pace to help::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Transporter Officer: You may energize when ready.

CM Lt. White says:
 ::Manages a weak smile::  IO: Just... keep bringing them in.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Forces with all his might but the wall is too heavy for him to lift alone despite his strength.::

Transporter Room Officer says:
# ::Shakes his head, and initiates transport::

ACTION: The wall begins to fall ...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  ::Yells::  Jorn, what or who have you found there?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::materializes on the surface::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@:: Shakes the Admiral's hand then begins walking with him::  Garrison: As do I, sir.  I just hope I can shed some light on the issue.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: Walk with me, Captain ...

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::follows the ADM::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::doesn't believe the class of devastation she is seeing::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Pulls the body out from underneath the rubble:: Rummel: Get him to a triage center immediately!

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::runs up to the CTO and looks down::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Groans and struggles to stop the wall from fully falling on the man.::  CEO:  There is a man stuck under here.  He is injured.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: As you can understand, this incident has put Starfleet in a precarious situation. Since the Gaea Device was of Federation construct, and a SECRET operation to boot, we've all come under quite some fire. By our own public, by our allies, by our enemies.

Rummel says:
Gamel: Yes Sir Praetor

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looks around, looking for something to use as a pry bar to lift the wall up::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::heads towards the Away Team as Wild Fire takes to the air::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::Nods:: Garrison: Yes, sir.  I understand.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: The Klingons have been calling to congratulate us on a campaign well done ... the Romulans are taking this opportunity to seem like the moral superiority ... the Cardassians are eyeing us in fear as they can relate after what the Jem'Hadar did to Cardassia.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Tries to hold it up as best as he can.::  CEO:  Hurry... find something.

Wild Fire says:
::Takes the air, gliding as best it can ... overwhelmed by the destruction of nature here::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::shakes head:: Garrison: I can understand that, sir.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Finds what looks like the remnants of a flag pole::  CTO:  This should do the trick :: Places it one end under the wall hanging precariously over the fallen victim, begins to lift::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: Every Federation news service has been running story after story on the incident. Many, many questions are being raised. And we have very few answers.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Garrison: I hope I can help.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Tries to move the wall with the help of the Chief Engineer.::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::intreprets what Wild Fire is seeing and  is literally in shock::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Pushes up at the end of the pole with all his might::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::To emphasize the point, Garrison exits with the CO onto the main promenade where dozens of Starfleet and support personnel are walking around, with much of the discussed topic being Gamleasia. Various news holo-projectors are showing the devastation of the world::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: Perhaps so.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::walks over to the CTO to help extract the man::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Wipes sweat from his brow:: SELF: Who are these Starfleet people? And why, why destroy our lovely planet

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::stops a minute to look around:: Garrison: This is not good.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: Despite the data provided ... you don't have this time traveler in custody. Nor any physical evidence of her existence other than what your computer managed to record as far as chronotons go.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Stops as well:: CO: No, it's not.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Uses all his might to push the wall even more.::  CEO:  Almost there.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Looks solemn:: CO: They're going to scapegoat you, Captain Marsland. You and your crew. That's what the Council wants to do.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::shoves against the wall with the CTO::

Praetor_Gamel says:
SELF: Are they our enemies or our allies?...If they are our enemies why are they helping us now?...So many questions, so few answers...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::grabs the pole for a better leverage and pushes up again::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Garrison: We tried to keep her in custody, sir.  But she escaped, probably through time travel.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Nods, and gestures for the CO to follow, keeping his voice down as they go::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::follows the Admiral::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: Must move faster this wall is going to give soon.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: The Council is pressuring us for a public court martial of you and your senior staff. Incompetence or something of that sort. Even if evidence proves you had no direct connection with the launch of the device, they want you to take responsibility. A fluke. An accident.

ACTION: The wall is moved out of the way.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Walks atop a tall pile of rubble and scans the horizon looking at the devastation::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::heaves a sigh of relief::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Lets the wall fall down where nobody is laying or standing and then turns his attention to the Gamleasian.::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::EO_Rick arrives and helps the CTO and AFCO to extract the victim from the ground::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: We're ... fighting them, as best we can. We understand politics. We understand the pressure of what the Federation is going through now ... but ... we also believe in showing the truth. You did your best, I know that.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Stops as they pass a holo-projector:: CO: ... but ...

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Garrison: Thank you, Admiral.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: ... but the Federation News Service has been showing nearly 4 billion corpses across the quadrant for days now, and it's hard to fight that.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: This is a mess here.  Where do you want me and Wild Fire to start?

Wild Fire says:
 ::Lands on the AFCO's shoulder at the mention of his name::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::feels his talons grip the pad::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
AFCO:  We are currently following the search pattern as laid out in the morning briefing.

Wild Fire says:
::Suddenly senses something, squawks and flies toward a pile of rubble::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: Garrison: Agreed.  I wish it hadn't happened.  What was I supposed to do, Admiral?  Ignore the distress call?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: He has found someone.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Starts walking again::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::follows her bird::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::scanning with her tricorder finds a faint life sign::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: You did your duty, Captain. What Command is trying to do is ensure you don't pay for it.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: Sir over here there is a faint life sign.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Nods.::  COM: Nightingale:  Thalataar to Nightingale.  Lock onto the Gamleasian next to me and beam him up.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::After taking a quick bite, Othello gets back to business::

Nightingale OPS says:
% COM: Thalataar: We have him.

ACTION: The Gamleasian is beamed up.

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Heads for a turbolift::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Garrison: Thank you ::continues following the Admiral to the turbolift::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Sees a large group heading towards a pile of rubble and heads their direction at a quick pace with his search team::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AFCO/CTO:  Good work!  

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Watches the Gamleasian vanish.::  CEO:  Come, the Lieutenant will most likely need help.  ::Heads towards Brianna's position.::

Wild Fire says:
~~~~ AFCO: She's afraid ... ~~~~

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::begins to dig with her hands::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: The individual is scared.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: I know I sense it too.~~~

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Enters into the Turbolift:: TL: Level three.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::enters TL::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: As such, there's someone here to see you. She's an Ambassador ... one I haven't heard of before, comes from one of our more ... out of the way worlds. But she approached Command with an idea. An idea that may save the Federation's hides. And the Hayden crew's.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Arrives near her.::  AFCO:  I don't doubt it.... I'd be afraid too if all of Tellar was destroyed.  ::Pulls out his tricorder and scans the rubble.::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::walks along side the CTO::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Walks around looking for survivors and studying the device's effects on the surface::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::continues to dig with her hands::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: Since it's your crew's futures on the line, we felt you should make the decision in this case. So I'd like you to meet with her. She'll sell you her idea, and if you like it, it'll be done.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::senses a life form underneath the pile of rubble::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Garrison: Oh really? What’s the plan?

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ CO: I'll let her explain it to you.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Starts to help the FCO dig through the rubble.::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Begins helping the away team lift rubble out of the way::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Garrison: Okay, sir. Fair enough.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: I sense that she is scared hurry her breathing is shallow.

ACTION: A group of Gamleasians, led by Gamel, is suddenly at the Hayden crew's side, helping remove the rubble. Most of the Gamleasians work in silence, giving the Starfleet personnel a wary look.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Raises his eyebrow and hurries to move the boulders.::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::begins to dig faster now with more urgency::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  This is Lt. Hull, would you have the transporter chief beam down some entrenching tools to my coordinates?

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::They arrive at the level, and they exit ... he guides her toward a conference lounge::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
::Back out in the field, she walks with one of the security officers::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::walks with the Admiral:: Garrison: So now, into the den of lions?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::continues to push the dirt to the side and sees a hand::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Records a few images of the destruction for reports::

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Smiles as they arrive at the conference lounge:: CO: Indeed. This is where we part ways, Captain. I'll be in contact depending your decision. ::Takes a breath:: I don't want to ... guide you, but a lot is resting on the choices made in the next few days. For you, for your family, for your crew.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: Sir a small hand look ::points::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::gives what appears to be an ensign armed with a weapon a wary look as he continues to dig::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::The Hayden beams three entrenching tools directly in front of Isaac::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Aloud:  If only I had the hands for digging.  ::Curses under his breath.::

Ta’lk says:
# COM: CEO: Aye, Lieutenant. Will do.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Sees the hand and starts to dig around it.::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::continues to dig and grasps the small hand::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Hands one shovel to the CTO, and begins digging with the other::

ACTION: As they remove the rubble, they find a Gamleasian girl ... barely breathing. A group of adult bodies are collapsed around her ... she is the only one alive.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: Garrison: Understood sir. Good day.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
::Two Gamleasians, covered in mud, approach the Starfleet pair.  The woman is obviously in tears, and begins to cry more as she looks upon Marla::  "You did this!"

Host Admiral_Drew_Garrison says:
@ ::Nods, and heads off::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::holds the small hand tightly as they continue to dig::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::takes a deep breath and walks into the Conference Lounge::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
AFCO, CEO:  Hurry, we need to get her out and to one of the medical ships.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Notes some small crystal deposit and gets a sample for study::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Gets the young child out from the rocks.::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
::Waves for the security to stand back, but keep an eye on the male figure::  Woman: No, we didn't... we're here to help...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Digs hurriedly clearing more dirt away from the small young child::

Praetor_Gamel says:
~~~~Gamleasian Girl: Stay with me young one we're almost there...~~~~

ACTION: The Conference Lounge is extravagantly put together. Obviously it is not the normal set up ... it was seemingly put together for the woman there. She is human, blonde, and in her early mid-40s. And attractive for her age. She wears a sleek white suit with a skirt, and sits before a large array of food on the table.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::closes her eyes:: ~~~ Young one: We are here to help calm your breathing down I will not let go of you.~~~

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Smiles, and gets up:: CO: Captain Marsland, I presume.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::smiles warily:: Ambassador: Yes, I'm Captain Marsland.  And you are?

Wild Fire says:
::Lands on a large piece of nearby rubble. Wondering why the non-winged ones bother so much. Death is death. It happens::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Senses another telepath among him::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Holds out hand, her blue eyes shimmering:: CO: I am Ambassador Emma Rose, a pleasure to meet you.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Helps get the child out.::  AFCO, CEO:  She needs to be transported to the Nightingale.

Woman says:
Marla: My home... my neighbors... my family... gone, gone.... from the sky, your sky, your device...

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: She is very weak.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Checks the pulse on the young girl.::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Lifts large boulder out of the way::

ACTION: It is hard to tell that the girl is even a Gamleasian. Her skin is gray from dust and dirt ... her pulse is weak ... her breathing barely noticeable.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: Death is something that humanoids take seriously.~~~

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Nightingale: Nightingale, this is Lt. Hull, USS Hayden, we have one injured female child, emergency medical beam out 

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
COM: Nightingale: This is AFCO Rochelle prepare to beam young girl directly to sick bay.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::shakes the Ambassador's hand:: Rose: Ambassador, a pleasure, though I wish it would have been under better circumstances.

Praetor_Gamel says:
AWAY TEAM: Get Away From Her, Don't Remove her, My Team will take care of it!!!!!

Wild Fire says:
~~~~ AFCO: I noticed, boss. But you guys take it too seriously. Almost as if you think you can fight it. It happens. Deal ~~~~

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
Woman: I understand your pain, but you must trust us... I'm here to help you.  ::Trying to calm down the woman::  What is your name?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::looks at the Praetor::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: Please, have a seat ... or a canape. The base's chef put together quite a meal.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Looks over to the Gamleasians nearby.::  Praetor:  She is going to die if her wounds are not treated.

ACTION: The Gamleasians stare at the Starfleet personnel with clenched fists. Tension fills the air.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: So I see!  ::takes a seat::

Praetor_Gamel says:
Away Team: I said Move! Rummel: If They move you know what to do

Woman says:
Marla: Does it matter?!  You've done your damage... we weren't names before, we were just bodies, sacs of meat and water for you to destroy, move out of the way as roadblocks

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Praetor: This must be a surprise but this youngling needs immediate attention if it will help I will go with her.  I give you my word as a Betazoid daughter.~~~

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Raises his eyebrow.::  CEO:  Lieutenant, why isn't the Nightingale transporting her?

Praetor_Gamel says:
~~~AFCO: After what you've done, your word, the word of your "Starfleet" Has no Meaning to us~~~

Rummel says:
::Hears Rochelle's projected thoughts, and spits at her feet:: Rochelle: Betazoid whore!

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Cautiously tries to keep a decent footing as he steps over some loosed rocks and soil:: Self: Least this is a good walkabout. Poor Gamleasia.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  She is probably busy with other transports 

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Goes back to her seat::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Leans back into her chair, and crosses one leg over the other, steepling her hands in front of her::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Nightingale:  Nightingale, this is Lt Hull, did you copy my emergency transport?

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Looks over to Lieutenant Rochelle to see her reaction.::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Admiral Garrison says you have an idea for me.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Continues to dig with the rest of his team::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::again:: Rummel: I am not a Betazoid Whore and for your information I have no knowledge of this mess.  All we are here to do is render aid to you and your people. Please let us help before more die.

Nightingale OPS says:
% COM: CEO: We have a brief hold order, we have a large influx of injured coming in right now ... we should be able to beam her up in a moment.

ACTION: The Gamleasians look as though they're ready to attack if the Hayden crew takes the girl away.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Grabs his tricorder and passes it over the young child.::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Nightingale:  Understood, this victim is critical

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Stops for a second and takes a soil sample. After it is collected, He opens up his tricorder as he comes up on a few small ruins, probably former houses.::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Indeed I do. It's pretty radical, but it can work. I know it can work.

Rummel says:
AFCO: No! You want to help us now do you? After the devastation you've caused our people!

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Well, I'm all ears.  Help me get my crew out of this mess we're in.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: The incident at Gamleasia has sparked an intergalactic debate. Perception of the Federation has shifted ... dramatically. Starfleet is seen as more of a brutal and dangerous military than a powerful defensive and explorative force.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
::Thinks this isn't going anywhere::  Woman: You have your life still... you need to be strong, and take what you have.  Your planet will be better...

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::sits down next to the child and holds her head firmly in her hands and closes her eyes and uses her own inner strength to aid the childs breathing::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: For almost ten years now, we've been fighting, Captain. Whether it's the Borg, or the Dominion, or the Klingons, we have been in a state of constant siege.

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: GET AWAY FROM HER!

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Forgive me, but I know all that.  What's your idea?

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Pushes Rochelle away from the girl::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Now that it's all over, what does the rest of the Universe see out there? Battle ships, fighters. No longer do Oberths and Excelsiors grace the space lanes, we have Akiras and Steamrunners.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Keeps talking, seems to be on a roll::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: If I don't stabilize her breathing she WILL DIE!! Is that what you want? More death and suffering?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Gets out of her chair and starts to walk around the table:: CO: It is hardly arguable that after the War that we are the most formidable power out there. People have a reason to fear us.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::sits back and lets the Ambassador talk, hoping she'll get to the point eventually::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Praetor:  We are not the cause of this devastation.  Do you think we'd be here to help you if we wanted you all to die?  ::His tone is harsh.::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::nods::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Whose child is this? Perhaps yours?  Do you think her parents are looking for her? Or are they thinking that their Praetor has left their daughter to die?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Presses a button, and news reports of the Gamleasian devastation show on the screens:: CO: ... and now they have a lightning rod to go by.

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: We have doctors of our own who CAN treat Her! We don't NEED you Federation SCUM You've "Helped" us enough! ::spits at Rochelle::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::goes back and holds the child’s head again and the child breathes easier::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::looks at the screen:: Rose: It's horrible, I know.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Praetor:  Why not help us, instead of causing us to stop our rescue efforts?  We are here to help!

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Self:  Common Nightingale.. .transport her and get it over with.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: We need to change this perception. The Federation has a lot of races out there that have become enemies because we didn't understand them ... or couldn't give them what they wanted, and they went from diplomatic to antagonistic.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: And so I've proposed a new initiative.

Praetor_Gamel says:
CEO: Help us? By taking our people up to your ship for "Treatment" how do we know that they're alright?

Woman says:
Marla: You don't care... you don't care... ::mumbles, and her husband takes her and leads her away, still watching the two::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Praetor:  We can take you to see them if you wish.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: We'll set out to worlds that failed to meet Federation standards in the past for entry ... or have through one accident or misunderstanding or another been labeled enemies, or untrustworthy. Species like the Gamleasians.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Go with me then and see for yourself.  But I will not let this child die because of your lack of judgment.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Wild Fire: Come

Nightingale OPS says:
% COM: CEO: We're ready to beam.

Praetor_Gamel says:
Away team: How do you expect us to trust you, the federation after the devastation you've caused us all! You've practically made our species extinct!

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AFCO:  Lt. Rochelle, beam up with the Praetor and the injured girl directly to the Hayden's sickbay

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: Understood sir ::still holding the child by the head to keep her breathing steady::

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: My Lack of Judgment?....And yours is any better?

Praetor_Gamel says:
::spits::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Forgive me, but that's how you're planning on getting me out of this?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: Bear with me, Captain.

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: If i go up there, my team comes with me!

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Continue, I'm sorry.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Sees scans are coming up empty on life signs and continues on. He taps his commbadge to check in::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Your team is needed here to help.  Just you and me and my bird that is all that is necessary.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  This is Lt. Hull, beam Lt Rochelle + 2 directly to Sickbay, the Nightingale is too busy with other rescues at the moment

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*Cmdr. Enki*: This is Knight. I'm checkin' in. How's trick's over there?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: The Hayden, and its crew, would set out ... as a new diplomatic envoy. To seek out worlds that might feel we're out to get them next. To re-establish peace. To show that we are NOT warmongers, but peace harbingers. That we truly do seek knowledge of other life out there, and don't seek to conquer or annihilate it.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Observes the Gamleasians, his anger increasing.::

Ta’lk says:
# COM: CEO: Aye, sir.

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: My Chief of Security; Rummel, Comes too! or I will not let you leave

ACTION: The AFCO, the girl, and Praetor are beamed up to the Hayden.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::rolls eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Ambassador: Sounds good so far. We were supposed to set out on a long voyage anyway.  This could work.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::materializes in sickbay::

ACTION: The Gamleasians pretty much have enough at that moment. They rush the remaining away team.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::looks over at the CTO::  CTO:  I thought they'd never leave! ::grins::

Praetor_Gamel says:
#::Materializes in sickbay::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Keeps an eye on the other Gamleasians as Lieutenant Rochelle, the girl and Praetor are beamed away.  As he sees them come for them, he draws his phaser rifle.::  Gamleasians:  Stay back.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: That's not all. You'll be at the forefront of the Federation's view. Everyone will know what you're doing, so the worlds of our fair civilization can be assured that Starfleet has not gone awry.

ACTION: They do not. Rocks are thrown, a few try to tackle the CEO.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#MO: her breathing is very shallow I believe that she has several broken ribs that have collapsed her lung::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
*CSO*: Things are... ::watches the woman go:: ... the usual, Lieutenant.  How are you holding up?

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Makes certain his rifle is on stun and he fires a few shots at the Gamleasians.::

Praetor_Gamel says:
#::Looks for anything he can use as a weapon::

ACTION: One Gamleasian, two Gamleasian, three Gamleasian - all fall down.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Grabs his phaser from its holster, pointing at the Gamleasians::  

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: Don't even think about it.  Wild Fire: Protect.

ACTION: The remaining five halt their assault.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Well, it sounds like the whole galaxy will be watching us, waiting for us to fall.  But if that's what it takes to get the reputation of Starfleet back, I'm all for it.

Wild Fire says:
# ::Squawks at Gamel and makes sure it's talons are visible::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Gamleasians:  Let us do our job and help you, and there won't be any more violence.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*Enki*: I'm nearin' the end o' me survey of the grounds two kM from ya position. No survivah's 'round 'ere. I'll return to you all in 'bout twenty.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Gamleasians:  Instead of attacking us, go and find more of your people who are trapped...we are here to help.

Praetor_Gamel says:
#~~~AFCO: I'm not afraid of your bird, there were tons much bigger on the planet before YOU destroyed it!~~~

MO Barnes says:
#AFCO: She has what.  Oh my god hurry......

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: In addition, Command will be upgrading you completely. The Hayden will get a full upgrade ... I'm talking top of the line technology. The new bio-packs they've been talking about? That anti-trans-temporal warp core? Ablative armor? A full compliment of quantums? The whole mix.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
*CSO*: We'll keep an eye out, Lieutenant.  Tread carefully.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::ignoring the praetor she keeps the child’s breathing steady till MO Barns is finished::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*Enki*: Can do. Knight out.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Your crew will also be outfitted with some of the best Doctors and Scientists in the Federation. Not that they'll be replacing any of your crew. They will be there to help.

#Praetor_Gamel says:
::Slowly begins to back away into the surgical area::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Sounds like what you wanted to do before we annihilated Gamleasia, but okay.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: ... also, I've managed to talk Command into loaning your security force one of their PRISM teams. I hear they're very handy in anti-combatant situations.

MO Barnes says:
# AFCO: Yes you are right she has three broken ribs and they have collapsed her left lung.  IF you didn’t help her she would have died.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Wonders if the Gamleasians will stop their advance.::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::Wild Fire watches and slowly lifts into the air::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  This is getting old, really quick Jorn...what shall we do? Stun?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Sort of ... but not the same. They were going to send you out there to chart new worlds with your usual staff, and usual technology.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::watches as the MO passes the bone regenerator over the ribs after she repairs the damaged lung::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Whoa, hold on there!  I thought we were trying to show that we're the good guys!

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  Recommendations?

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
CEO:  It is their move..  If they wish to be stunned than we shall stun them.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#MO: Can I release my hold on her breathing?

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Does a visual scan of the area just in case and begins back when he sees nothing.::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  Agreed ::removes the safety from his phaser::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: You are, Captain. But we have to be realistic ... some of these worlds have a strong hatred of the Federation. While their governments may be willing to talk ... some of their people might try to hurt you. It's good to have the best of the best. PRISM is secretive.

MO Barnes says:
#AFCO: Yes dear her lung is healed and she is breathing on her own.  Let me just finish with the dermal regenerator and you can take her back to her people.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: The general public does not know of them ... they'll just be looked upon as more security personnel.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::releases the child’s head and looks at the Praetor with glaring eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::thinks for a moment:: Rose: Okay, I'm game.  But can we finish up with helping the Gamleasians first?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: In addition, this opens new possibilities for your crew ... science institutes will want to know what your CSO thinks about certain anomalies ... your Doctor will be called upon for new journals ...

Praetor_Gamel says:
#::Sees the bird circling him:: ~~~Wild Fire: Come down, back to the earth you know it's the right thing to do, I shall not harm another animal~~~

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Of course. The Gamleasians are going to get the best help possible.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: As I promised, and you still don't trust us?  Look she is alive and healthy again.  What race of people are you that you can't see helping you.

Wild Fire says:
# ~~~~ Gamel: I have no such reservations about harming another green-skinned non-winger ~~~~

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Wild Fire: Return.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Okay, okay, I'm sold already!  When can we start?

Wild Fire says:
# ::Squawks once more at Gamel, and lands on the AFCO's shoulder::

Praetor_Gamel says:
#Rochelle: Ones that destroy whole planets without an provocation?

MO Barnes says:
#AFCO: The child is healed see.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Watches as the Gamleasians return to digging.::  CEO:  I think we will be alright now.  At least for the time being.  I have no doubt that other teams are encountering the same resistance.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  Let's move on, look for more victims...they want to follow and get into trouble, I'll be more than happy to oblige them ::points over to the north:: Let's head that direction

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Grins:: CO: Once the rescue operations at Gamleasia can do without the Hayden, she'll proceed with all due haste to Deneb, where the Atlas V Fleet Yards are. The upgrade will commence then.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Nods and he pulls out his tricorder, keeping an eye on the Gamleasians as they work.::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: In a month's time ... we'll launch on our first mission. ::Note that she mentions "OUR":: There will be a ceremony of course. We'll want everyone to know what we're trying to do here.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::walks back to the child::   Praetor: Look for yourself.  What race would not keep their word?  Don't you understand we had no control over what happened.  We are here to help.  The child is healed as I promised and you are free to return to the planet with her and me.

Praetor_Gamel says:
#MO: Oh i see, but how can i trust that this isn't all an allusion of your trying to help us?...How do i know that you won't kill the rest of us once you get the chance?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Walks over and puts a hand on the CO's shoulder:: CO: And that the Hayden, the one ship that's on EVERYONE's lips, is at the forefront of this initiative.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: What do you mean "our"?

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Oh yes, well, while you're qualified as diplomats all, the Council would feel infinitively more comfortable with a full-fledged Ambassador onboard for the journey ... ::Brings her hands to her chest:: I, of course, will not get in the way at all. Only be there to help you when you need it.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: What else do you want?  I kept my word as a betazoid  daughter who you spat at my feet and even though you did that I still saved her life.  Isn't that enough?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::wonders if she is getting through to the Praetor::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Please, just remember, the Hayden is my ship.  I will give the orders, okay?

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Taking another, more direct route back to the rest of the AT, Othello sees a few Gamleasians digging out any useful items and artifacts they could find::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Walks with the Chief Engineer.::  CEO:  So many bodies.

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Holds hands up:: CO: Of course, Captain. I'm only there as a diplomat. I have no official standing in Starfleet, obviously.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#::watches the child as she smiles as the MO gives her a doll to play with::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Okay, then, I agree to your plan.  I'm not sure how my crew will respond. But I will agree if it will save our reputation.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  Don't look at that way, let's find those that are still alive

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Don't you see her happiness amongst all the devastation.  Why would we want to do more destruction?  To what end?

Praetor_Gamel says:
#AFCO: Fine You want to help Help us, BUT firstly, That bird doesn't come with us, and Two, We take over the search and rescue operations, it is our planet after all, our lives, our customs, which you know little about, you listen to us and when we say to let one go, you listen!

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: And a Council-enforced court martial. ::Slight laugh::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Nods a little and keeps on walking.::

Praetor_Gamel says:
#Rochelle: At the very least let us be the ones to pull the bodies from the rubble

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: In case you haven't realized it, it was this bird that found that child.  You want me to leave him?

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@ ::nods:: Rose: Yes and that.  Courts Martial are so messy.

ACTION: The CTO & CEO pass a fallen statue, which appeared to be of the former Gamleasian Queen ... Morosea'Da. While a former Queen of the Gamleasians, Starfleet knows her more for her attempts to take over the Seleya & Elara ... and the murder of a Starfleet Captain.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Takes out his tricorder and begins scanning again::

Praetor_Gamel says:
#AFCO: I don't trust that bird

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ CO: Well then, we'll get you set up to return to the Hayden, and then you can head off to Deneb. I'll meet you there. If there are any questions or concerns, please let Admiral Garrison know. He should be thrilled that you've agreed!

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: He is not going to do harm unless he is ordered to do so or you intend on hurting me.  That is his only function and to render aid as I interpret what he sees and senses.

Wild Fire says:
# ~~~~ Gamel: As well you shouldn't green skin ... ~~~~ ::Squawk::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: Okay then, sounds good to me.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Wild Fire: Quiet and behave.

Praetor_Gamel says:
#::Glares at the bird::

Host Ambassador_Rose says:
@ ::Smiles and takes the CO's hands in hers:: CO: This should be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Captain.

::Stops and looks over to his right:: CTO:  Jorn, see this statue?  it is of a former Gamleasian Queen, Morosea'Da, she had a bad reputation, also killed a Starfleet Captain...record doesn’t say who though

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
#Praetor: As I gave you my word here is the child healed and healthy.

Praetor_Gamel says:
#Rochelle: Very well but if i see that bird harming or even appearing to harm one of my people, we'll be cooking it for dinner

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::graciously lets the Admiral take her hand, though she'd like to throw up:: Rose: I hope so, Ambassador.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Is obviously oblivious to the fact that it is a Gamleasian and not a Tellarite despite all the physical characteristics.::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Rose: I understand, Ambassador.  I will be making my way back to the Hayden and giving them the good news.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CTO:  Captain Kitana Brinn was her victim...sort of poetic justice don’t you think Jorn?

Praetor_Gamel says:
#::Stands on the transporter pad::

Starbase OPS says:
@::An audible sigh is heard:: COM: CO: That would be Iaxo ... we'll let his father know, Captain. If you could keep an eye on him for a moment.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::pulls her tricorder and begins a scan of the area::

Praetor_Gamel says:
CEO: None, they're all presumed dead, i guess i'm the only one with government experience

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Self: Brianna what the blazes are you doing girl you are not diplomat.  ::smiles::

Iaxo says:
@ ::Smiles:: CO: I didn't think so. Everyone says you're a bad person. But I really don't think so. ::Leans forward and whispers:: My brother always says bad guys wear top hats and have twirling mustaches. But I don't know what a top hat is.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@COM:SB 375 OPS: I'll be glad to

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: ::Smiles:: You'll 'ave plenty o' time in that engine room. Shoulda' brought  the ol' dingo down. He coulda used the exercise.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Iaxo: Well, you're brother is wrong.  People in top hats with twirly mustaches can be good guys too.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
CSO:  Isn't a dingo some kind of canine?

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Praetor:  I'm sorry for that Sir! You must rebuild your government so there is a central authority, whatever happened here, we need to help the survivors, we can only do that if there is a civilian government to work with

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::continues to scan with her tricorder praying to find more survivors::

Iaxo says:
@ CO: Ohhh. ::Pause:: Are you sad?

Praetor_Gamel says:
CEO: Indeed but we surely cannot have free elections right now...i mean look at our planet

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Iaxo: Maybe a little.  There were a lot of people who died because of what happened when I went to a planet trying to help.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: Yeah, but me Ganymede's only half dingo. He's harmless.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
Self:  I wonder if he tastes any good.  ::Shakes his head.::

Iaxo says:
@ CO: Oh. I'm sorry. ::Suddenly hugs her and whispers:: My Andorian bamble-fish died once. His name was Scooter.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::is completely amazed at the devastation that was caused::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Praetor:  Free elections are sometime away in the far distant future, you need to make appointments as temporary office holders.  Infrastructure and rescuing people is the order of the day...let's get to work

Wild Fire says:
::Is completely amazed the AFCO didn't let him peck Gamel to death::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Iaxo: I'm sorry to hear that, Iaxo.  ::checks her chronometer wondering if this is the longest 15 minutes of her life::

Praetor_Gamel says:
CEO: true...mind if i borrow one of those PADD's of yours?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: Simply cause it would have started a war.~~~

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CSO:  ::grins::  Have him beamed down ::Looks for Lt. Rochelle's foul::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Starts to head off to look for more survivors instead of standing around.::

Wild Fire says:
~~~~ AFCO: Y'know, boss, it's rude to pry ~~~~

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Praetor:  No, not at all ::hands him his PADD::

Praetor_Gamel says:
CEO: Thank you ::Begins preparing a list of Provisional appointees::

ACTION: The region the crew is in shakes. Tectonic activity has been acting up since the assault.

Iaxo says:
@ ::Lets go:: CO: Thank you.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Steadies himself against a rock as he feels the tremors.::

@ ACTION: A Bolian man abruptly enters the shuttle bay, shouting ... 

Jaega says
Iaxo: Iaxo! What have I told you about wandering down there!"

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: Not with our Tellarite friend over there. CTO: No offense, Ensign.

ACTION: The shaking intensifies ... an earthquake is occurring.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::sees the Bolian man:: Bolian: This must be your son.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Holds on while he checks the reasoning for the sudden earthquake.::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Falls over and hits his head on a large rock::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM:  Hayden:  This is Lt. Hull, begin scanning the planet, we need to find a suitable facility, still standing that we can house the Gamleasian Government and communication center for planetary operations

Jaega says:
@ CO: Yes, Captain, I apologize for him bothering you ...

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Jaega: It was no bother.  How old is he?

ACTION: The earthquake increases in activity as the seconds tick along ... Praetor is knocked out. The ground cracks open around some of the crew.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::tries to keep her balance as she runs to the Praetor::

Jaega says:
@ CO: He is six. And very curious.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
Self: A whole lotta shakin' goin' on, eh?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::checks his head::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Tries to hold on to something as he looks back towards Lieutenant Hull.::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CTO: Planet is unstable.

Ta’lk says:
# COM: CEO: Lieutenant, we're reading a 5.6 magnitude earthquake down there ...

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Moans::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM:  Hayden:  Emergency transport, beam us to another location

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::smiles:: Jaega: I have a seven  year old, I can relate.  What about his mother?

ACTION: The quake ends.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Lay still.  Let me scan you first. Please sir.

Jaega says:
@ CO: She's a nurse on the station. Very busy, if you can imagine.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  Belay my last...earthquake has stopped

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::scans the Praetor for any injuries::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Sighs:: AFCO: I'm fine really just a bump on the head, i really have to get to work

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Feels the Earth start to rumble.::  Aloud:  I haven't felt one of these since the Altean Marathon.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: You may have a concussion. Please.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  Beam down a medical officer, be assigned to our team, I think we need one with us

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::continues the scan::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
AT: I have been seeing an awful lot of small faults in th' ground while I surveyed south o' 'ere. I was hopin' that we wouldn't feel any tremors for a while. Glad I didn't put money on that.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Jaega: I can imagine.  I'm the captain of my ship and my husband is dead  Raising my son alone is very hard.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Sigh:: Rochelle: Fine

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::checks the tricorder readings and sees no serious problems other than a bump::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: OK  here I will help you to your feet.  ::holds out her hand::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@COM: Starbase OPS: OPS, would it be possible to push my departure time back a few minutes.  I just realized I hadn't had anything to eat.

ACTION: In the distance, a molten vent erupted ... dark acrid smoke and lava burst into the sky ...

Starbase OPS says:
@ COM: Marsland: Sure, Captain. Let us know when you plan on departing ...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CSO:  So your a betting man are you?  Wonder what the odds are another earthquake will occur

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
ALL: That is something I don't want to see.  We need to hurry.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Hears the eruption and looks over to it.::  Away Team:  I think we need to hurry.  This planet is becoming increasingly unstable.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@COM: SB OPS: Thank you, will do.

Praetor_Gamel says:
Rochelle: Thank you, now i believe we have some work to do

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: Looks like we've got new volcanic activity. Most likely a side effect from the razin' of the surface.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Yes we do and we must hurry.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
Jaega: Well, I'm going to go find something to eat.  It was nice to talk to you both.  ::pats Iaxo on the head::

Iaxo says:
@ ::Smiles at the CO::

Jaega says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: Thank you for staying here with him, Captain.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM:  Hayden:  Have the science team make a planetary analysis, locate the tectonic plates of the planet, see if they can use the ship's phasers to bore into the planet, relieve some pressure

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Begins directing people to Refugee Camps::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::moves with the Praetor and continues to scan as they walk::

Ta’lk says:
# COM: CEO: Er ... okay, sir. But we'll have to talk that over with Starfleet Command and the Special Operations forces. That seems like a drastic measure that could make things worse if the Gamleasians see us firing on the surface ...

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@:: smiles:: Jaega: It was my pleasure.  Now, if you will excuse me, I'll let you get back to work.

Iaxo says:
@ ::After the CO leaves, says to his father:: Jaega: See Daddy, she's not a bad guy.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: You may destabilize the new relations with that action sir not advisable at this juncture.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::walks off and finds a restaurant, goes in and sits down::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  Agreed, but a planet riddled with earthquakes and molten lava is not conducive to relations either

Ta’lk says:
# COM: CEO: I'll see what I can do, sir ...

Praetor_Gamel says:
Rummel: Arturus get as many people to the refugee camps as possible find out if any of them are geologists that may be able to help. 

Rummel says:
Gamel :Yes sir

Waiter says:
@ ::Walks over:: CO: Welcome to the Ailing Llama. How may I serve ... ::Pauses as he recognizes her face:: ... you ...

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AT:  We have to do something positive to return the planet to a stable environment...the only other alternative is to evacuate the entire remaining survivors off world...I doubt the Praetor will agree to that

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::sighs again:: Self: This is not going to go over well with the Praetor.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Picks up his sample case before it falls into a small crack and puts it up on his shoulder via the strap::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: If you give me a chance I will explain it to the Praetor before you do it.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Waiter: I'd like a nice big steak, a baked potato and a salad with Ranch dressing, please.

Waiter says:
@ ::Nods as the device attached to his shoulder records that all:: CO: And for your beverage?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: But on the other hand what if you are wrong?

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
COM: Hayden:  Have the science team locate and identify, we'll wait for the Captain's return for further action

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::sighs again:: Self: Whew that was too close.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: Good call sir.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Coffee, cream and sugar, please.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AFCO:  We'll ID the locations, and wait for the Captain

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: Agreed with you on that.

Waiter says:
@ ::Quirks mouth at the beverage choice to go with steak, but nods and heads off to another table as the order has been recorded and transferred to the chef::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: Return.~~~

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AFCO:  Let's move away from this localized instability...

Wild Fire says:
~~~~ AFCO: We should leave. This place is no place for a hawk of my stature, boss! ~~~~

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CSO:  Lt. Knight...where did you say we needed to head?

Wild Fire says:
::Lands on the AFCO's shoulder, obviously unnerved::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: Yes that is the best news of the day.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Wonders if there are any suitable buildings still standing to house refugees::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Wild Fire: Calm down and relax we are not leaving until our work is finished.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::feels his talons dig into her shoulder pad::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Looks on his deployed tricorder:: CEO: There's a nice safe area 'bout  half a kM  east o' 'ere.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CSO:  Take point Lt. Knight, lead the way

Praetor_Gamel says:
::senses the unnerving of the bird::

@ ACTION: Other people in the restaurant look and glance in the CO's general direction, trying not to get caught staring.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: He is just unnerved and upset at the devastation he sees.

Wild Fire says:
~~~~ AFCO: I'd prefer not to be fried, if possible, boss ~~~~

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Gets ahead of everyone and follows the blip on the tricorder's tiny screen::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: Relax and that is an order!~~~

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Grins:: Self: I feel like fried Chicken tonight

Wild Fire says:
::Squawks in discomfort::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::looks around and sees everyone trying not to stare at  her.  She smiles at a few of them who don't quite look away fast enough::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head::  Praetor: Lets get moving.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Notes the sinkhole and moves to the left to avoid it:: ALL: Mind the hole everyone. Don't wanna see anyone fall into that.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::follows the AFCO::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::follows the CSO and the CEO::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::continues to add stuff into his padd::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AT:  Everyone keep close intervals, watch for cracks in the ground

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::begins putting down her report on her PADD to give to the ship when she returns::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::watches the ground and where the Praetor is walking as well::

Wild Fire says:
::Hopes Gamel takes a one way trip to whatever hell the Gamleasians have::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Watch it.  Crack in front of you.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
ALL: Should be easy going as we get closer. Stay close an' keep ya eyes peeled for further fault formations.

Wild Fire says:
::Squawks in delight - translated as "Fall, fall!"::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::turns and glares at her bird::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Jumps over the crack::

Wild Fire says:
::Pretends he doesn't see the look::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: You are asking for a feather plucking aren't you.~~~

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Takes out a lighter from his pocket and begins flicking it on and off::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Approaches the stable zone and turns to check on everyone::

Wild Fire says:
~~~ AFCO: Tell me you wouldn't mind tossing the green-skin into a lava vent ~~~

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Excuse me but that lighter sir what purpose does that serve?

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Wild Fire: Any more wisecracks and your tail is toast.~~~

@ ACTION: A nearby holo-project shows a news program of some sorts where a bunch of people are debating ... an Andorian woman seems to be in close argument with a Vulcan.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::patiently waits for her food, watching the holoprojector::

Praetor_Gamel says:
::Pulls out a package of what appear to be Cigars:: AFCO: To light one of these of course ::motions to the cigars::

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::looks a bit shocked::

@ ACTION: Projected with the discussion is the title - "THE GALAXY SOAPBOX," identifying them as various political discussers and celebrities.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: Those are what we call cigars.

Praetor_Gamel says:
::grins:: AFCO: you didn't actually think i was going to roast your bird now did you?

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
AT:  I think we need to take a break, this looks a good a place as any, break out your emergency rations - eat up

Praetor_Gamel says:
::lights one of his cigars::

Andorian says:
@ "... who's to say what really happened there. What matters is, that Starfleet seriously needs to go through some restructuring. They're out of control ..."

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: No but it just shocked me to see something so common from our home world.

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
CEO: I think you are right.

Vulcan says:
@ ::Shakes his head:: "It is only the perception of Starfleet that makes them seem out of control. The Federation has been on the defensive for over a decade now. There was a need for the armament process."

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::watches in dismay as they must be talking about Gamleasia::

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: Well we do trade with other species who trade with the Federation you know

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::pulls out her rations and sets some of Wild Fires favorite seed dish and a dish of water for him::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Sees that everyone has made it over safely. HE finds a rock and sits down on it, removing his left boot and shakes out the sand, dirt, and pebbles from it::

Andorian says:
@ ::Rolls her eyes and her antennae flinch:: "The war has been over for seven years now! Do we really need battleships like the Akira Class flying around? I can't even remember the last time there was news about a new planet or species being found ... it's always battles here ... civil wars here ..."

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: So it would seem.  I am curious what or who else do you trade with?  Only out of curiosity do I ask.

Vulcan says:
@ ::Raises eyebrow:: "Ironic, considering your own species has often called for war in many forms"

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Sits down, opens his emergency ration packet, thinking he needs some coffee, reflects on what still needs to be done...looking at those who are with him::

Praetor_Gamel says:
AFCO: Plenty of species most you know, Ferengi, Romulan, Cardassian, Klingon, the usual races

Andorian says:
@ ::If Andorians could turn red:: "Oh, come off it, you pointed-eared pacifistic piece of <censored>"

AFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Praetor: I see.. hm.....::thinks as she eats her ration bar::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::watches with interest, but doesn't want to know where it would lead public opinion of her::

@ ACTION: Along with the discussion, images of the Hayden’s senior staff are projected. And it becomes clear to the Captain that starting now ... she and her crew will be in the public spotlight. And under much more scrutiny, than ever before.
