Summary:
The Nighthawk arrived to the last location given to them by Captain Jalazha.  The found a few planets in the system and they seemed somewhat inhabited.  Lieutenant Jackson found a ion trail that lead to a planet that had a habited.  They scanned the planet and found that there were ruins on the planet that resembled old Earth.  The counselor scanned the planet and found no Coobla on there.  They didn’t have enough information to go on and decided to send an awayteam down and investigate more.  

Announcements:
None

Time Frame
1 Day

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
First Officers Log Stardate 10310.11: We are the last known coordinates of the Coobla and are going to find these people.  We are going to find a diplomatic compromise to this situation before we try anything drastic.

CMO_Santiago says:
::In sickbay just finishing going over the readings she just took of V.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::On the Bridge by the Science Station::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::On the bridge, presses a few commands, upgrading tactical alert to maximum::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sits at the OPS console on the bridge, for lack of a better place::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Standing around on the bridge looking a padd::

CMO_Santiago says:
::taps her combadge.:: CNS:  LtCmdr Varesh... ::Speaking in her doctor voice.::  Get your butt back into sickbay.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CMO*: You know that tone of voice doesn't work on me, Anita.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Initiates scans for ion trails:: XO: Scanning the upcoming space for any ion trails.

CMO_Santiago says:
*CNS*:  If you think that you are going to mind meld on the bridge you have another think coming......  Is this monstrosity still happening?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Good.  I want the freshest ion trail to follow.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from the console and heads towards the TL:: *CMO*: I was just on my way down - I wanted a good look at where we are. ::turns to Sid:: XO: Permission to leave the bridge, sir.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Studies the starcharts of the region:: XO: Several systems nearby Sir, all are inhabited.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods:: XO: I'll do my best.... There's a big bunch of these trails out there....

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Granted.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Thinks "Yeah right."::  *CNS*:  I'll see you down here.  I'd like to do a trial run..see if there are any of these coobla around and get a base line to start.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods and enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay.

CMO_Santiago says:
*CNS*:   Oh and V, the Capt may want to sit in on this..  I'll get a hold of him.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: How about underground caves?

CMO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  Capt, I'm going to initiate a trial run with LtCmdr Varesh in contacting the Coobla.. this way I can baseline and I can make medical judgements from there....I was wondering if you wanted to sit in.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Find me one in which we can start with.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CMO*: If you think so. ::exits the TL and walks down the corridor::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods again:: XO: Aye sir. ::Enters a few commands, listing the trails by intensity::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: It would be impossible to tell without a close range scan on a particular planet.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: How close do you have to be?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay and heads for the main biobed:: CMO: Here I am, ready or not.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: It depends on how specific you want the scan, but preferably in orbit of the said planet.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Hop up onto the bio bed, I'm just waiting on a reply from the Capt.  You want anything to drink?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets onto the biobed:: CMO: Think a good Scotch would help? ::chuckles:: Fruit juice will be great thanks.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Sits down in the Command Chair:: CSO: Alright.  Feed coordinates to the helm for the first nearest planet.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Nods at the nurse as she scurries off to get the juice.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CMO*: I'll be right down Doctor

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::gets up from his ready room and walks over to the turbolift::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
FCO_Flyguy: Engage at full impulse.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::Checks the starcharts and transmits the coordinates to the helm::

CMO_Santiago says:
::smiles::  CNS:  Ok this is only a trial run.. I don't want you to delve deeply into their minds.  Surface scans only.  I'm going to be monitoring your brain patterns to see the effect.  Hopefully this initial readings will give an indication of what we are up against and decide whether or not to proceed with deeper scans.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Taps a button to stop the sorting:: XO: Sir.. The trails lead to the various planets in the area... Some of them populated, others not.... However, none of the outer, cold planets have any trails lead to them....

CMO_Santiago says:
::Leans against the biobed.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gives her a steady look:: CMO: Are you trying to teach gramma to steal sheep?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Smiles sweetly::  CNS:  Now would I do that?  Just because I have gypsy blood doesn't mean I know how to steal... ::Winks and laughs::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
TL: Sickbay...  ::feels the turbolift speed it's way to sickbay::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::laughs:: CMO: And that was the last thing that crossed my mind.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Laughing:: CNS:  Y eah sure...

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Rubs his hair:: CTO:  Feed the coordinates for the populated planets to the helm.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Presses a few commands:: XO: Transmitting now, sir.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Ok, lay down so I can hook you up..  You are going to look like a christmas tree my friend.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters sickbay and instantly sees the Doctor and Counselor, walking over to them he wondered what kind of "trial run" the doctor would be performing::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::claps his hands like an excited child:: CMO: Yippee! Always wanted to do that.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: I want a scan of the populated planet that Lieutenant Jackson sent.  Inside and out.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Nods:: CO:  Good day Sir.  ::Smiles::  I'm just hooking up V now.  Then he is going to try and mentally contact the Coobla... Surface scans only.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
FCO_Flyguy: To those coordinates Full impulse.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Wires up V, like a Christmas tree.  Not that she needs the wires she just wants to do it.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Will it hurt him in anyway?

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  That is what I'm trying to find out.  I'm not comfortable with Cmdr Monroe's plan and I want to make sure that there is no danger to V or to this ship if we contact the Coobla mentally.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Aye sir, will commence scans as soon as we're in range.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: No, sir. Call it passive scanning if you want - I just want to get information to see who is really the bad guys here. The Coobla or the others...

CMO_Santiago says:
::Stands back and looks at V.:: CNS:  Ok, we are ready.  Are you?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods at both the CMO and CNS:: CMO: Allright proceed when your ready...

CMO_Santiago says:
::Grins as she sees Tessie take a picture of V all hooked up... the red bulbs give it a nice touch.  She bites back a laugh.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: CMO: Yes. I'll be going into a deep trance, but I should be able to hear you if you ask questions. Give a running report if I can.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
<FCO_Flyguy>: XO: Entering Standard Orbit.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Ok, go into your trance when you are ready.  ::Activates her overhead scanners and has her tricorder ready.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Begin your scans.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Commencing scans.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::lies back with his eyes closed, takes a few deep breaths and reaches out with his mind towards the planet below them::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Are there any ships on the planet?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Stands beside the Capt so he can see the same readings she is.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::leans next to a biobed and observes the trail run between CMO and CNS::

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Checks his readings:: XO: Checking....

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::scans the 'planet mind'::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sees the readings the CMO shows him and nods::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Hears a beeping sound on the console behind V.  She reaches over and taps a few buttons..::

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Ok V, can you still hear me?

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Finds something:: XO: Affirmative, there are ships down there... They are small and camouflaged... But they are there...

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie/Nicholas> ::Hover in the background...  They set up a betting pool on whether V contacts the Coobla or not.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO:  Are they the same configuration as the ones that attacked the station?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::answers in a slightly hollow voice:: CMO: You sound like a chorus of nightingales.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks at his console, then back to the XO:: XO: At least their size is about the same... But can't say anything about engines or defensive systems.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Checks the scans:: XO: Sir, I'm getting readings back from the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::switches between the counselor and doctor observing them both::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Grins:: CNS:  Just keep listening to the sweet voice of mine..  Now can you tell the Capt what you are sensing?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Leans to his left:: CTO: Ok, keep an eye on them.

CMO_Santiago says:
::She goes behind the biobed and works on the console there...she frowns at some of the readings...she prays they are due to nervousness on V's part.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::scans the planet again:: CMO/CO: They seem to be at a technological level around the middle ages... but I get something that's not right. It feels too advanced for that level.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: What you got?

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: The readings are slightly conflicted. Technology is around the same as that of the Middle ages on Earth.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: But I am reading some readings that simply do not fit in with that era.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::listens carefully to LtCmdr Varesh about what he sees and most importantly what he feels::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Like?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Pulls off the wires now that they are onto serious things.  She checks the readings one more time. So far so good, brain patterns normal.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns:: CMO: I feel lack of hope, depression, fear. ::shakes his head a little:: I don't like it.

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: The society, the structure design. Some of it is far too advanced. It's as though it's been influenced somehow, and yet the society is mainly underground and isolated.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  The Coobla are scared or is it someone else?  ::Looks at the Capt.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Influenced...

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::his eyes widen a little, with a curious look and glances back at the doctor::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::a tear runs down his cheek:: CMO/CO: Its the natives. This place is very depressing.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Depressing how?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Gently wipes the tear from his check::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I can't explain, but the entire planet feels depressed, morose. Its not the Coobla though... I think these people fear them.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Turns his head slightly to follow the conversation between the CSO and XO::

CMO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the Capt again.::  CNS:  Are any of the people below telepathic?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO/CNS: The Slaves?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: One second.  *CMO*: Doctor, how is the Counselor?

CMO_Santiago says:
*XO*:  So far so good.  He is doing a passive scan on the planet.  He is giving a verbal report to the Capt as he does.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Not that I can sense. Not at this distance. ::turns his head to the Captain as if he can see him through closed eyelids:: CO: I cannot say, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CMO*: Good.  *CO*: Captain I think we can't determine anything else from up here.  I think we have head down there.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::firmly closes off the planet from his mind and opens his eyes:: CMO: I'm not going there again.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Can you determine if the people below are violent.. Would an AT be in danger?

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Listens in to the conversation, his eyes opening slightly at hearing the last bit::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods his head:: CNS: Alright, is there anything else you can find out?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Shows V the readings she had gotten on her tricorder.  It will take her a couple hours to analyze them.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::transfixes Anita with a stare:: CMO: Would you be dangerous if you lived in a state of permanent depression, fearing whatever it is they fear, a lock of hope? ::takes a deep breath, closes his eyes for a moment and lacks at her and the Captain:: CMO/CO: They are not violent per se, but I got an underlying anger.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Find me a less populated transport spot.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods:: XO: Scanning the surface for secluded, accessible areas.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I would advise caution, sir. But then again, isn't that standing orders for away teams?

CMO_Santiago says:
::Places a hand on V's should:: CNS:  Easy my friend.. no need to be snarky..you know me better then that.  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::tries to absorb all the information:: CNS: Yes it is...we'll just be a little more cautious then usual

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: Sir, I got some spots.. Most of them are smaller, village sized areas, and there are a few large areas.... I can put up a map, if you like...

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Good do it.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::pats her hand:: CMO: Sorry. ::glances over to Tessie and Nicholas:: Tessie/Nicholas: Whoever bet that I would make contact lost. ::gets up:: All: If you will excuse me, I need a moment alone.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Presses a few commands, displaying a map of the locations on the viewer::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: Download the Translator to a tricorder incase we need it.

CMO_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> CNS:  The bet was for the Coobla... Since we all lost...you get the money...  Go have a drink on us.  ::SMiles and gives him the latinum.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Downloads the program to his tricorder::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::takes the latinum and puts it on the biobed:: Nicholas: I could have told you that if you asked. Keep your money, and I'll apologize in advance for being an absolute... ::pauses. looks at the Captain and continues:: My apologies for being rude.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CSO: I want to make sure we know what they are saying to be prepared to translate it.

CMO_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> CNS:  I'll tell you what, pick a charity and we will donate it there.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Captain, physically I'm in no danger, but I can tell you know its going to affect me emotionally... and when I get like that I bite first and treat the wounds later.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::grins at the Counselor:: CNS: Good job Commander... ::turns to CMO:: CMO: Make sure he'll be alright and prepare for an away team

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles slighty:: Nicholas: There is a home for indignant cats on Risa. Give the money to them. OR the widows and orphans fund... take your pick.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Nods:: CNS:  Aye Sir... Did you want both of us?

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
XO: Aye sir. If worst comes to worst I think I'm beginning to get a grasp of their language structure, assuming it's similar to the one we've encountered.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Understood Counselor, I'd expect nothing less of this crew.    Take it easy for the rest of the day...

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Thanks, sir. But if I'm needed on the away team, I can go.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Leans over:: CSO: Just don't make it sound like we are speaking Klingon.  My Klingon is so bad.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gives Tessie a puppy dog look:: Tessie: Luvvie, I'll kill for some fruit juice...

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Laughs:: XO: Don't worry, I'm sure their Klingon isn't so great either.

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  CNS:  Man, you and your puppy dog eyes... it melts me every time.  ::Grins and goes to the replicator and gets his favorite juice and goes back to him.::  Ok Romeo, here is your juice.  For that it will cost though... You must walk me down the isle.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Tessie: You got it... not even my mother could stop me if she tried. ::gives a stage whisper:: If you knew my mother, that would make sense.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS/CMO: I'll be needing both of you on the away mission, so get some rest and we'll leave for the planet at 0900 tomorrow

CMO_Santiago says:
::Chuckles::  CNS:  I met you mother didn't I, the time we were on Risa on the Huron?

CMO_Santiago says:
CO:  Understood Sir.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grins at Anita:: CMO: I think she defines the term battle-axe and takes pride in it too.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Laughs out loud::  CNS:  She and my Gran would get along great.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Care to join me on the holodeck? I'm planning on running the Swedish spa program. I need Olaf to massage my back till I'm jelly.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns around and heads for the bridge::  *XO*: Commander...prepare for an away team down to the planet.  I want you to take both the Doctor and Counselor with you, the rest is up to you

CMO_Santiago says:
::Big grin::  CNS:  Only if Sven is there....It drives Richard nuts... ::hums a little tune.::  You know Richard is taking a massage class so I don't have to use your spa program....  The man is positively jealous.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.  CSO: Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: CMO: He won't begrudge you if you keep me company... if he does, tell him to come see me and I'll squish his head for him.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Turns:: CNS:  Darn!!  I had the Capt in my grasp... He is due for his physical... ::mutters and contemplates calling him back.::

CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye sir.

CMO_Santiago says:
::Evil Grins::  CNS:  I'll send him anyway... he is due for a good squishing.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs:: CMO: First rule. When the Captain enters sickbay voluntarily, you strap him down and do his physical.

CMO_Santiago says:
CNS:  Yeah, I'm such a soft heart...  ::Taps her combadge.::

CMO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  Capt, I'm going to require you in sickbay at 1500 hrs... You are overdue for your physical.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::matches her evil grin:: CMO: Yeah, he and I can drink and he can weep on my shoulder about what a mean woman you are.

CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Turns his attention back to his console::
