CO  West :
Stardate 10211.09 Captains Log:  There have been two Ambassadors trying to open negotiations with the House of Dector on Lagron III who have lost their minds...so to speak.  The Night Hawk being assigned to investigate these matters has arrived at Lagron III an AT is being sent to the surface with another Ambassador to try again to open negotiations, also the medical team is there to ascertain the cause of previous incidents...

The Nighthawk remains in Standard orbit at the present time.

OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Walks on the bridge rubbing his eyes and muttering things about bacterial colonies::
Host CO_West says:
::Walks from the conference room to the bridge and takes command chair::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*AT*: Change of plans all...meet in shuttle bay 1 we will be taking a shuttle down to the surface
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The shuttle is prepared for the away team.
Host CO_West says:
::Looks up and sees OPS::
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::with his medical equipment in the turbolift he sighs and taps his commbadge::  *XO*: Understood, Sir..  TL: Head to Shuttle bay 1 instead..
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::In the TL.  Sighs, taps commbadge.::  *XO*:  Aye.   Computer:  Redirect turbolift to deck 4.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Rubs his eyes::
Host CO_West says:
OPS: good, keep a constant lock on them once they reach the surface.  
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::takes a hand phaser and slips it into a pocket on his jacket and enters shuttle bay 1::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Exits TL onto deck 4 and heads for shuttle bay 1.::
Host CO_West says:
Flight Officer: Remain in Standard Orbit until further notice.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::waits for the remainder of the Away Team to arrive::
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::exits the TL and heads into the shuttle bay, carrying his hand baggage and nods at the XO::  XO: Commander...
Host CO_West says:
<Flight Officer>: Yes, Ma'am.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::moves further and quickly observes the situation::  XO: Sir, which shuttle will we be taking...?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CMO: Doctor...sorry about the change in plans.  Hope you brought everything you'll need  ::eyes the baggage::
Host CO_West says:
*XO*: Make my apologies to the Ambassador for not greeting him before he left the ship.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CMO: This one right here doc...she's all ready to go! ::smiles::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Enters the shuttle bay.  Walks over to the rest of the AT.::  XO/CMO:  Sir, doc.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: Aye Captain, if I see him I will be sure to do that.
Host CO_West says:
*XO*: Thank you. Keep in touch!
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Runs a quick systems check on the 'Hawk::
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::smiles::  XO: No Problem at all...  ::points at his baggage::  that's not all...but it's what I need initially... I will be beaming in additional equipment on the shuttle for airborne viruses just in case...  ::nods at the FCO as he enters::  FCO: Lieutenant...
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
FCO: Welcome Lieutenant... ::turns to the CMO and FCO:: CMO/FCO: Ok looks like everyone is here let's get going
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: Understood ma'am
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Smiles as the computer reports that all systems are operating at 100% efficiency::
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  Did you fare well while in SB?  Will you have to go back for further treatment?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
XO:  Are we taking the Chameleon?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
Self: At least my junior officers know what they are doing....
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The SO is currently aboard, quietly checking out her station.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: They say not.  But then, you know doctors.  Their prognosis changes constantly.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::moves over to the shuttle and enters, watching his head and carefully laying down beside his operations console then tapping commbadge::  *Trans Chief*: Bluestine to Jones, Chief... please beam the equipment on PADD to the cargo area of the AT's shuttle...
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
FCO: Not this time around...standard shuttle  ::boards the shuttle and takes a seat:: FCO: Lieutenant Keown if you will do the honors and take us down to the surface
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Follows the rest of the AT into the shuttle, grim faced.::  XO:  Aye, aye.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Sits down at the helm, powers up engines.::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  After acknowledgement a shimmer appears and vanishes, leaving behind a load of equipment.
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  Well, let's hope you won't have to get further treatment.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
:: Walks to a replicator:: Replicator: Coffee.  Strong. Black.  Two sugars.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::looks at the equipment being beamed to the cargo area and looks at the XO::  XO: Equipment is aboard, Commander...medical is ready to go...
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Yes.  The last course of drops was extremely painful.  A case of the cure being worse than the disease.  I sometimes wonder if they do that so you want to get better and get away from them.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CMO: Good to hear Doc...I'll be relying on you heavily this mission  ::sees the FCO power up engines:: FCO: Request permission to leave and then take us down Lt
Host CO_West says:
::Moves console away from her lap as OPS walks by with two cups of Coffee::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Hands one of the cups to the Captain:: CO: Here you go Ma'am.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
::nods::  XO: Aye, Sir...  ::downloads the medical profiles of the Ambassadors to his PADD for quick reference::
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  Thanks.:: Taking a sip::  And you make a good cup of Java my friend!
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I sneaked the data for my personal blend into our Databanks.  I hope you don't mind.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
COMM:  Nighthawk:  This is shuttle Raven, requesting permission to depart.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Not at all.  I like it when someone takes initiative at what they like to do providing it does no harm to the ship and her crew.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::sits in his seat waiting for the Nighthawk to grant them permission to depart::
Host CO_West says:
<COMM:> Raven: Permission Granted!
Host CO_West says:
OPS: It seem I have distracted you, you should return to your station now.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Yes. Ma'am.  ::Returns to OPS::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
COMM:  Nighthawk:  Raven out.  ::Cuts the COMM.  The shuttle bay door opens in front of them.  Christian flies the shuttle out.::
Host CO_West says:
::Slowly sips her coffee, puts it in a holder near her chair and continues looking at data on Lagron III::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Studies the data he has on Lagron III' s Communications and ship schematics::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The shuttle takes off smoothly and is quickly seen to enter the stratosphere of the planet.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::observes the front window as the shuttle quietly makes her way out of the shuttle bay and nods in acknowledgement before looking back his console again::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::flies the Raven into the atmosphere.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::swivels the chair around:: Shuttle: Ok...people in case we are questioned why we are snooping around.  We are simply taking a tour of the planet before the Nighthawk leaves the sector...any questions
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Not trying to distract you from your station, but... tell me how you decided to request duty with the Nighthawk?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  Nope.  We should reach the surface in about 5 minutes.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: A friend of mine, Commander Lyon, recommended it to me.  He said it was a good ship.  He also had some nice things to say about the Captain.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::looks around the shuttle::  FCO: Good...
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: After a year at Utopia Planetia, I have to admit that I would have accepted any posting!
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Ah, Good things you say... and how do you plan to make your duties here interesting besides the regular communications things?
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  As the shuttle flies toward the House of Dector, they see a quiet countryside of beauty.  There are few homes in the area and those that are seen are very large.
Host Biishe says:
<Planetary Defenses>  Shuttle:  You are in a secured area.  Please turn around.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::glances at the XO as he hears the message from the surface::  XO: Seems they got a welcoming party already..  ::grins::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I have my research to look into - I am investigating more efficient methods of long-distance subspace communications.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Hears the COMM.  Takes some altitude.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::taps the communications console:: COMM: P-Defense: This is shuttle Raven from the USS Nighthawk, we were interested in taking a tour of your facilities...
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Notes the Raven is very close to the planet's surface.  Starts tracking the Biosigns of the crew.::
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  More efficient... How were you planning on going about this.  won't it take a lot of research?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::smiles back at the CMO:: CMO: Perhaps we can persuade them to unroll the red carpet
Host Biishe says:
<PD>: Shuttle: XO:  You are currently flying in the area of private residence.  We will be glad to set up a tour of our planet for the federation.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: I'm sure that communications experts are doing this all the time,  what would make your methods so much better?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: While I was on Deep Space Nine, I noticed that their wormhole has interesting effects on the propagation of subspace waves.  It bears some looking into, but I have to admit that I am not sure what the outcome will be.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::smiles::  XO: Maybe...
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Takes some more altitude, as the PD still doesn't seem satisfied.::
Host CO_West says:
::Lifts her hand to her face placing thumb on chin and finger near her lip in a listening posture::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
COMM: PD: Thank you...can you give us a set of coordinates to follow so we won't run over the private residence again
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Well, for one thing, if my wormhole theories bear up, it would take far less power to communicate over large distance, and we might be able to get signals to travel much further.
Host Biishe says:
<PD> COMM:  XO:  Gladly.  We are sending you a various number of coordinates for places you might enjoy visiting.  Enjoy your stay.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Yes, I have always been fascinated by the wormhole near Deep Space Nine.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I have never been into it.  I feel tat a meeting with the Prophets would be most interesting.  From what I have read, they are very highly advanced.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@COMM: PD: Thank you...shuttle raven out!  FCO: Lieutenant pick the closest set of coordinates to the house of Dector's main buildings...we'll land there
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::nods at the message from the planet and wonders where they will taken to::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  Scans pick up various surveillance equipment and energy readings that could be weaponry in the private sector.
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  I am... not at all sure I really believe in The Prophets, to me it is just a name for the Bajorans religious beliefs, that they cannot explain, but that is just my own opinion.  I don't think they are real, but the wormhole is another matter...
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: There is documented evidence of beings of some sort living within the confines of the wormhole.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Records the house of Dector's coordinates as they pass over it.::  XO:  I don't think they want us landing there...  scans show what could be anti-aircraft weaponry...
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I am picking up the signatures of surveillance equipment and something that could be weapons around our away team.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Yes, but being that I am human I will not call them gods, I believe only one Supreme Being of the Universe.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::frowns::  FCO: Anti-aircraft weaponry..?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Personally, I believe that the Universe is God.  All of us acting together, to further its aims.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  I got a possible landing spot...  about 10 km from Dector's.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::reads the scan on his console:: Self: Hmmm....weird  FCO: Question is why though...they just applied for Federation membership
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::nods his head::  CMO: Doc...what kind of medical equipment did you bring?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  Beats me...
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Contact XO Anderson and make sure they are aware of being under surveillance and then get me a more definite description of what they are.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Aye Ma'am
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@XO: Along side of the standard equipment I brought the mobile test center for environmental contaminations and associated items..
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
<COMM>: Raven: Mr. Anderson, I have detected the presence of surveillance equipment in your area.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: Land us at those coordinates Lt, we'll have to find another ride to the buildings
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@COMM: USS Nighthawk: We have also picked them up...we'll let you know what we find out
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
<COMM>: Raven: Thank you Sir.  Nighthawk Out.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::glances at the sensor logs and looks at the XO::  XO: Sensors have detected a number of interesting facts...
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  Aye.  ::Adjusts course for the landing coordinates.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::turns back towards the CMO:: CMO: Ohh...such as?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Their defenses appear to be arranged in three layers.  An outside scanning shield, which alerts the planetary defense grid of any unwanted guests, then another shield which triggers weaponry similar to Klingon disruptors.  The third layer is unknown to me.  Something very new......
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@::as we passed the house of Dector sensors detected a quick but evident life sign... but it vanished as sudden as it came.. quite odd...  second..
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  Any of the shields, preventing communications?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@CMO: Could you make out the life sign? Species, gender?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The inner one would.  It is dense enough.  But with enough power behind me, I could punch through it.  And the 'Hawk has enough power.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Make sure it is don, I don't want to loose touch with the shuttle because of a defense shield.
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@XO: Secondly we have come over coordinates with a large number of Lagron
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::As they reach the coordinates, slows to a stop and smoothly brings the shuttle down to the ground.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Definitely Not!  ::Transmits his findings to the Shuttlecraft, together with a power/modulation setting that should punch through the shielding.::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  Surrounding the shuttle is a botanists paradise.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@CMO: The life sign that you picked up...could you tell what species it was?
CMO_Ens_Bluestine says:
@XO: Looking at the readings there are 37 people in there total..  all Lagron.. 17 Male, 20 Female... as for the one life sign..... it was to short to be registered correctly...could even be a sensor glitch...
Host CO_West says:
OPS: surveying the planet, what else can you tell about its  surface?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: To all outward appearances, it’s Eden.  But its...  too perfect.
Host CO_West says:
::  Listening and nodding::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@Self: hmmmm  FCO: Lieutenant how far are we from the private residence?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  10 kms.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: number of surface inhabitants?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: 10 kms to the main government buildings for the house of Dector as well correct?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The surface of the planet is very fertile.  Lots of lakes, used as hatching grounds for fish, large forests.  Politically, it’s a combination of Twentieth-Century Europe, and older feudal cultures.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The area overall is ruled by two democratically elected officials, but the houses are ruled feudally.  It is very densely populated.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The forests are almost exclusively located in the Pentagmin region, ruled by the house we are investigating.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  What government buildings?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: Did we not detect any government buildings on the surface?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Beyond it being well populated, I can't give you an exact number, but somewhere below ten billion humanoid life forms.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  Yes...  but for the government...
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Ah, that is what I was looking for.  Thanks.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: We have very little information on this planet in our databanks.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: Still...how far away are they?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  They're in the nearest city, about 25 kms from here.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::frowns:: Shuttle: Ok...here is what we are going to do
