Summary
The away team met up with Zhen on the surface as the Doctor and Lieutenant Knight took the Chameleon out to retrieve Captain Anderson.  After some talk and discovery by Commander Monroe that Zhen was fighting against the Nacardains.  Commander Jackson pushed his feelings out and showed that he cared for his son.  Monroe pulled asked that Zhen trusted him as Captain Jalazha trusted him.  He risked his crew to help her, and gained her trust when they were last here.  Monroe wanted that trust to rub off.  Zhen agreed to help and as a sign to help he pulled his ship away from the Nighthawk.  They all went in to the base to retrieve Captain Anderson and talk more about the Nacadarians.  Monroe quickly gave a visable signal to Varesh to tell his rescue team to back off.  What will happen next week?

Great to see Jim back!

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Acting Captain's Log Stardate 10408.21: The Away Team and I have arrived on the surface to meet with Commander Jackson's son.  I want to appeal to him that, he need not to destroy us and appeal to his human side of him.  On the other hand I am sending Lieutenant Knight and Doctor Santiago on the Chameleon to retrieve Captain Anderson once they have analyzed the shuttle.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::In sickbay..with things finally settling down...she finally gets time to herself.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::keeps quiet while they go through the landing procedures::
Host SO_Rose says:
::Sitting in the big chair on the bridge, staring out at the screen at the multitide of unfriendly ships and being told they had just lost contact with the shuttle.  It was not going to be a good day.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks around the shuttle:: CSO: Scan that shuttle see what you can get from it.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::in the TL on his way to the bridge::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
::Taps a few buttons on the shuttles console and begins a full but discrete scan::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around the shuttle as the planet approaches fast::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::steps off the TL and onto the bridge::  SO:  What's our status?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grabbing a coffee from the replicator, she takes it back to the couch and with padd in hand she goes over patient charts.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::ponders the situation with Gary and his son, not quite sure what to say to them to make them talk::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::looks at the scans:: ACO: The same as before...  powerful in its own right, but no competition alone for the Nighthawk.
SO_Rose says:
::Turns with a sigh at hearing Knight and stands from the chair.::  FCO:  Commander Monroe has taken a small team to the planet to find out what is going on with Zhen.  We are outnumbered, but not outgunned by... we don't know who.  However, we haven't a prayer if they attack is jointly.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@CSO: How could it come out of that Ion storm?  ::Sets landing coordinates::
SO_Rose says:
::Hands him a padd.::  FCO:  Oh, and we have lost contact with the shuttle.  And these are your orders from the commander.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@ACO: Sir, are you going to ask Zhen outright about the Nacandarians?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::takes the PADD and reads over it::  SO:  Have you been able to determine how that shuttle was able to get through the ion storm?
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Goes over the system status list, seeing that everything checks out jsut fine::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@ACO:I dont know sir. Maybe some kind of shield enhancments
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Having landed his ship in a small landing clearing, surrounded by high mountain tops, he steps out to wait.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@CNS: I am going to assume that they know about them since they are living right next to them.  I think they would run into them eventually.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Makes a notation on one chart and then sends an order to have the patient discharged.  She makes a notation that Ens Row is to come back in two days for a follow up.::
SO_Rose says:
FCO:  Not yet.  I have been going over the CSO's information.  I am beginning to wonder if it is an ion storm at all.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@ACO: I see... I'll try my best, but I have to tell you that while we were in surgery, something or someone was trying to probe my mind.
SO_Rose says:
FCO:  Shall I inform Doctor Santiago to be ready to go?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
SO:  I'd like to get some more information so that I could possibly modify the Chameleon to get the same results.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::nods to the SO::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@CNS: Alright ::Lands near the other shuttle, not too close::
SO_Rose says:
::Nods::  FCO:  I will see what I can get.  But... sir... remember that guy that messed around with your brain, or was it someone else ::Ponders a second::  either way... Commander Jackson left his son with Captain Jalazha.   Could maybe that... whatshisname have taught him something?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::closes down his console and gets up, taking the medkit and slinging the strap over his shoulder::
SO_Rose says:
::Taps the comm button.::  *CMO* :  Doctor, you are to be ready to leave as soon as Lt Knightis ready to go rescue the captain with the Chamelon.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Does the after landing checklist, and once done, he gets up and heads for the exit::
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Remains where he is, watching carefully, his weapon in hand.::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
SO:  I'm not sure, but I'd certainly like to find out.  Have Dr. Santiago meet me down in the shuttlebay in about a half an hour.  I want to see if I can modify the Chameleon to get her through any ion storms.  ::heads for the TL::  Send me any information you come up with.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*SO*:  I"ve got patients Ens.. Lt Knight is more then capable of flying the Chamelon...he doesn't need a used up Doctor to take up space.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Locks up his console and heads to the back of the cabin heads to the weapons locker and grabs a type I phaser::
SO_Rose says:
FCO:  Yes sir...  ::And sighs in frustration to find she is still in charge of the bridge.::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Grabs a phaser from the locker aswell, and steps out of the shuttle, taking in the area::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::takes a phaser for himself, not sure if they will get to keep them:: ACO: Do you really think they won't search us and take our weapons?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Gets up from his chair and gets a Phaser::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@CNS: Precaution.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: ACO: Understood, sir.
SO_Rose says:
::Hearing the doctor becomes confused.::  *CMO*:  Used ma'am?  What an odd phrase.  Anyways, he says he would like you to meet him in 30 minutes in the shuttle bay.  You should have enough time to finish up what you are doing.  And Commander... I wish you luck in bringing our captain back.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Walks behind the AXO::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs::  *SO*:  I'll speak with Lt Knight.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::enters the TL and requests the shuttlebay::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::exits the shuttle and walks with the rest of the team::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*FCO*:  Aaron, what is up.  Why do you need a doctor under foot that wasn't wanted in the first place?

SCENERY:  Surrounding the small clearing that was formed eons past by a now extinct Volcano, are men of many lands, many worlds.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Peeks out the door, starts walking out::
SO_Rose says:
::Shakes her head and moves over to the science console.::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Releases a heavy sigh:: Self: Here we go then... ::Starts walking towards Zhen::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Wasn't wanted?  I don't follow Anita.  I received orders to take the Chameleon, along with you, and to help rescue the Captain.  Besides, I like your company.  ::smiling to himself::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks around, taking in their surroundings:: ACO: Friendly bunch.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Exits the shuttle with the others and takes a brief second to admire the scenery::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: *FCO*:  I've got a sickbay full of people.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::exits the TL and heads toward the Chameleon::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@CNS: Yes, really friendly.  I wonder if they bite? ::Walks towards Zhen::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*CMO*:  And you've got a department full of capable individuals.  Besides, the Captain is counting on us.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
*FCO*:  30 minutes Lt.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@as they walk closer, the emotions from Zhen gets stronger, the probing more insistent, like a child wanting attention::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Thanks Anita....I owe you one!  ::grins::
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Stands his ground, waiting, his weapon at rest but ready.  But his eyes track and follow his father more then the others.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::tosses the padd she was reading across the room.:: *Tessie*:  I'm heading out with Aaron to rescue the Capt.  you have sickbay.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Walks up to Zhen:: Zhen: I am Commander Monroe.  This is Counselor Varesh, Ensign G'Dar, and your Father, Gary Jackson.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::goes to the back of the away team and discretly takes out his tricorder and takes a few scans::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks up at his son:: Zhen: Er... Hello..
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  *CMO*:  Aye Nita.. I'll be right down.
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Nods::  aCO:  Commander...  ::His eyes never leaving Jackons::  Do I have a father?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::watches Zhen, keeping his mental shields up::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::steps into the Chameleon and goes to work on ways to modify the Chameleon::  *SO*:  Any useful information heading my way?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: He is your father.  He is the one that gave you life.
SO_Rose says:
*FCO*:  Nothing specific I am latching on.  Just a... hunch.  I don't think that ion storm is really there.  I think it is a giant illusion.  BUT... I have no proof.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks up at Zhen, nervously, not sure what to do now::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*SO*:  I'll do what I can with what I have.  I'm an experienced pilot, I know I'll be able to get us through.  Thanks Bri.
Host Zhen says:
@::Snorts at that comment as he turns to look at Monroe fully.::  aCO:  Why are you here?  Last time you came through, you wrecked havoc to begin with and then just... vanished.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::slowly reaches out with his mind, touching Zhen's briefly, a whipsper of a touch, seeing he has hardly any shields::
SO_Rose says:
*FCO*:  We are counting on that... good luck... all around.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: Have you heard of the Nacardarians?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::continues taking some discrete scans::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grabs her medkit and exits sickbay.  She makes her way to the turbolift and as fortune would have it, the door opens as she gets there.  She enters.::  Computer:  Shuttlebay.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*SO*:  Thanks Bri.....we'll be back before you know it!
Host Zhen says:
@ ::A look of hatred comes to his face.::  aCO:  Why do you want to know?
SO_Rose says:
::Under her breath::  Sooner better then later...  ::Sighs and returns to trying to find the AT.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~ACO: Oh, oh, you touched a nerve there, and that's just from the look on his face and the tone of his voice.~~~
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: We are here because of them.  They have entered our relam. Lied to us about them.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
~~~@CNS: Then let's turn up the heat.~~~
Host Zhen says:
@ aCO:  They are very good at that.  But that does not explain why you are here.  One little ship is not likely to take on the might Nacardiarians.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Feels the TL stop and she exits.  Quickly she makes her way down to the shuttlebay.::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::glimpses at his atmospheric scans and notices the little oxygen there is::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::does a surface scan of Zhen's mind, trying to get behind the reason for the hatred of the Nacandarians::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Entering she spots the Chameleon.  Taking a deep breath she goes over.::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::modifies the Chameleon as best he can and starts his preflight inspection::
SO_Rose says:
*FCO* :  I have finally triangulated that last sensor relay of the captain.  He is on the planet.  I don't know if that is good or bad.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::senses the CMO::  CMO:  Thanks for coming Anita.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: We lost contact to the rest of the ships when we entered this relam.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
*SO*:  Acknowledged, thanks.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around at the other people standing at the opening::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Hey Aaron.. ::Steps into the craft.::  Let's get this show on the way shall we?
Host Zhen says:
@ ::His voice slowly raises.::  aCO:  Why are you here?  Why did you come back?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: They took something, and what I am not at liberty to say.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~ACO: The Nacandarians are trouble for this group. But don't push him too much yet. His trust of us at the moment is below zero.~~~
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
CMO:  You're command is my wish!  ::grins::  *SO*:  Preflight is complete, we're prepared for departure.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::his tricorder bleeps. He notices it has picked up energy readings:: Self:must be the base
Host Zhen says:
@ ::A sudden overwhelming feeling of dissappointment he quickly squashes.::  aCO:  So... you have come for something.  What does that have to do with us.  ::Waves his hand to include the others.::  Other then you are in our space and we... ::Leaves the sentence unfinished.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::takes a seat next to Aaron.;;
SO_Rose says:
*FCO*:  You are clear... don´t stay out too late.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::catches the feeling of disappointment, shooting a look at Gary. He leans over to whisper:: AXO: Perhaps tell him you were also thinking of him when you heard of our assignment?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
CMO:  Welcome aboard Anita.  If you're ready to go, better grab hold of something......it could get rough.  *SO*:  Acknowledged.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: This has nothing to do with you, well not anymore.  You have our Captain.  And that you are Commander Jackson's son.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Leans to the counselor and whispers:: CNS: I wasn´t.. But if it would make him happier...
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Tightly::  aCO:  Your captain was shipping arms to them.  His life is forefeit as was his ship and the rest of his crew.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Ready when you are.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@AXO: It might just, Gary. He feels you abandonded him. He's our key at the moment.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: And you saved him.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CNS: Very well... ::Takes a step towards Monroe and whispers:: ACO: Sir... Perhaps I could help a bit..?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#::takes the Chameleon out and clears the NH::  CMO:  Away we go!
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Turns and nods::
Host Zhen says:
@aCO:  Saved?  ::Snorts::  Sure... as a slave.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::hopes that Gary says the right things, focusing his attention on Zhen again, pondering nudging him in the right direction::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
::engages cloak::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Scrapes together all the courage he can find:: Zhen: Well... It´s true, I really AM your father... And from the very moment I heard we were going to this space, I wanted nothing more than to find you again.. And now I have, at last..
SO_Rose says:
::Watches the Chameleon exit the ship and fly out.::  Good luck...  may the two of you arrive back safely... and quickly.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::::finishes his scans and slips his tricorder back into its holder:
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Eyes snap as something seems to tug at his mind.  He looks around.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Slips back to the rest::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::maintains his outward facade while retreating behind his shields::
Host Zhen says:
@::Turns at his fathers voice, a look of unblief on his on.::  aXO:  Why?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Whispers:: CSO: What have you found?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  I'm thinking we should fly in here.  ::points to the console::  It's as good as any place to start.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  If I bring the Chameleon in close enough, do you think you would be able to scan for any signs of the Captain?
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@Zhen: Why? Because I felt I hadn´t done justice to you, just leaving you behind here. Right then, it seemed like the best solution... How wrong I have been... ::Sighs::
SO_Rose says:
*FCO*:  Please remember, once you are near the mountains, you will not be able to contact us or we you.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#FCO:  I'll scan you rescue.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#*SO*:  Understood.  Who up there is telepathic that I might be able to contact?
Host Zhen says:
@ ::His stance loosens a bit.  Looks at his father, not sure whether to believe him or not.::  aXO:  Captain Jalazha loved me well.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  My kind of plan!
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Well V is there.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Zhen: Jalazha was a good person. We trusted her and she us when she had little reason to.
SO_Rose says:
::Looks around the bridge.::  *FCO*  Ahhh... no one sir that I know of.  Is there someone elsewhere on the ship?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::feels his tricorder vibrate. he slowly takes the tricorder back out. and notices it is picking up aditional lifesigns a bit away.:: Self: Definatly a base of sorts
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  I can see if I can contact him.  *SO*:  If need be, I'll try anyone I can.  Thanks Bri.
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Smiles:: Zhen: Then at least you have been in good hands.. As I said, at that moment, I thought it was the right thing, to leave you with these people.. Only after a while, I started to think it might have been even better to have taken you.. But there was nothing I could do anymore at that time...
Host Zhen says:
::Looks at the counselor.::  CNS:  True.  My... mother did.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Varesh, can you hear me?~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Zhen: Then perhaps you can take guidance from her example?
SO_Rose says:
::Mumbles.::  *FCO*:  Should I warn sickbay of incoming headaches?  ::Smiles slightly::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around at Varesh::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Yes, Aaron.~~~
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#*SO*:  Funny!  No, that won't be necessary.  ::grins::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  All right!  Say, Anita and I are in the Chameleon.  I'm going to try a fly over of the planet to try and scan for the Captain.~~~
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Looks at Jackson, then back to Monroe.:: aCO:  What do you want of us?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: Help.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Understood, Aaron. I'll tell the Commander. Good hunting and get yourselves back to the ship in one piece... or I'll have to patch you up and then hurt you.~~~
SO_Rose says:
Humph...  ::Goes back to watching her sensors and keeping a very close eyes on all those small ships surrounding them.::
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Understood.  Are you going to need any assistance?~~~
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: And pull all of your ships away from my ship.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~ACO: Sir, Aaron and Anita is looking for the Captain here on the planet... I think he's here if they are. Also, I've pieced together the stray thoughts from this group. They are from all over this universe, fighting the Nacandarians and have been working to keep the Coobla in one place... not a fun job.~~~
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  We'll be close enough to the surface in about 7 minutes.
Host Zhen says:
@aCO:  In what way?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#FCO:  Scanning for the Capt now...
Host Zhen says:
@ aCO:  I am to trust you?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Scans the structural integrity of the mountains to see if the base is hidden dee within one of them::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I don't think so... but we might.~~~ ::leans over to G'Dar:: CSO: Can you find the entrance to this base?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: Captain Jalazha trusted us.  She helped us.  And in return we helped her.  ::Smiles::
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Considers, his eyes straying toward Jackson.::
Host Zhen says:
@ ::Pulls out a communicator and contacts his commanders to pull back.::
AXO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around the members of the away team, then finally turns to look at Zhen again::
SO_Rose says:
::Her eyes raise as she notices the ships leaving the area.  A sigh of relief escapes her.::  At least I think that is a good sign.  ::Scans for something unexpected.::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Leans over to Varesh::Self: wow thats quite a base. All the tunnels seem to lead into a cave nearby. It could be an entrance way
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#::brings the Chameleon as close as he can to the surface::  CMO:  This is about as close as I'll be able to get us.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@Zhen: Now to the matter on hand.  The Nacardarians.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
#FCO:  As of yet I haven't gotten any signs of the Capt.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: CSO: Is it around here? Or a distance off?
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#CMO:  These mountains are probably making it more difficult.  I'll see if I can modify the sensors a bit.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@Self: Its a few hundred meters to the left
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Picking him up now Sir... Sending you the coordinates now.
Host Zhen says:
@ aCO:  Come... this is not the place to discuss this.  We will go inside and I will have my people bring you your captain.  ::Glares at him.::  Though he has much to answer for.
FCO_LtJG_Knight says:
#::receives the coordinates and sets course::  CMO:  Great job Anita!  ::grins::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
@::Stares a glance at Varesh, like oh carp::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::catches the look from Sid:: ~~~FCO: Aaron, you can't pull the Captain out yet. Zhen is bringing us to him and if he's not there... you get the idea.~~~
