Summary
	On Freedom, the away team reluctantly sheds their clothes and walks around only in their skins with their communicators in various strategic locations as all technology but their comm. badges and tricorders are being permitted.   All else has been refused.
	FCO and aCTO work on the Siren, preparing to take her to the planet as the captain plans an infiltration plan.	 

Announcements

•	Thanks again to our NPC’s, including James this time. Don’t forget to add..

Time Lapse:
	One hour.

Siren:  The siren is a submersible vessel with the ability to fly short distances in space… hence from a starship to planet.  What makes it unique is its ability to run at great depths… deeper then any other; it was built for water exploration.  To accomplish this, it has a unique shield that is able to balance the pressure.  If it were to go out, the vessel would be crushed.  There is a back up, but its time is limited.  This shield takes a lot of power so whatever is added to the ship, this must be taken into consideration.  The ship was built for science, not military, so it is probably lacking on things a military minded person would think vital, but science would not.   It does run silent as it needs to for the purpose of not scaring things around it….  When you think of this vessel… think science with a flair… after all, this is one of Harlan’s baby.

Captain's Log: Stardate 10510.15: I have sent an away team to the surface to investigate the viral agent that Admiral Harlan has sent us here to investigate.  I hope they find something.

CIV Storm says:
@ :: On the planet, not looking at the inhabitants directly, waiting for Commander Jackson’s say on the issue.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Inputs coordinates into his console::  CO:  Sir, course plotted in case we need to high tail it out of here.
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looking at the shuttle, waiting... ::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Carefully scans the environment, keeping her tricorder concealed::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks at the naked people in front of him, searching for words for a moment::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Working on the new vehicle and waiting for the new weapon systems to arrive::
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: What are you doing?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods:: FCO: Good.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks up:: Sam: Standard Starfleet procedure when arriving on a planet
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@McGlen: Errr. Hello, I believe you were expecting our arrival? I'm commander Jackson from the USS Nighthawk.. These are some of our crew.. :: Gestures at the team::
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Have you checked out the Chameleon upgrades yet?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Actually sir, I haven't had a chance.  I've been busy going over the systems of our new vehicle down in the flight bay.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Glances at Jackson, easily reading his confusion and humor and glad of the latter, but not quite sure what brought it on without peeking.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Any huge surprises?
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Extends his hand reluctantly:: XO: Welcome. Yes we were expecting you. I do have a request though
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Shakes the man's hand:: McGlen: And that is..?
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: Well... if you want to stay here you have to follow our... dress code
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
*FCO*: Trigger to Knight, I've been looking over this new vehicle of ours and I think it could do with some sort of defenses, what do you think?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks at the rest while keeping her tricorder recording::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Unfortunately, no.  Looks like if we want to enhance things we'll have to do it ourselves.
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: What kind of enhancements are you looking at?
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks as the new arrivals, waiting for their compliance:: XO: I'm sorry, but that's a rule we have agreed on with Starfleet
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*aCTO*:  I was actually going to suggest something like that when I had the opportunity to meet up with you.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods slowly, half expecting it, not too happy about that twist:: McGlen: Okay.. Give me a minute, please? :: Glances to his side at the rest of the team:: All: Just a little word, please, inside, so we will not offend our hosts..?
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Watches the two gentlemen, both who are embarrassed... for the other.  Most interesting.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods to the XO and steps back inside::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Smiles:: *FCO*: Well, I've got some ideas and I'm down here in the shuttle bay whenever you wanna come take a look.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Nods and steps back.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Well, as you just heard from Ens. Trigger, the first thing I'd like to upgrade is her defenses.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*aCTO*:  Understood.  If time permits, I'll head down there as soon as I can.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: I have no problem with his request. But I must insist on taking my tricorder
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Enters the shuttle:: All: Alright.. Their dress code, or rather.. Lack of any dress, other than birth dress.. I wish there were another way.. Do we know anyone that would not feel too uncomfortable, to venture onto the planet, and actually into the open..?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Takes a padd from an ensign and looks over the report:: FCO: Well since Ensign Trigger is down there, you should join him.  Keep me up to date on your progress
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant, trigger out. ::goes back to examining the propulsion systems::
CIV Storm says:
@ XO:  We do have a few betazoids on the ship if you need to bring them down.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: With all due respect, other than being a violation of regular Starfleet procedure, which is to always use your uniform while on duty, I don’t see any problems
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@All: But first of all, I need to inform the captain.. Just a moment.. :: Walks to the cockpit and opens a channel to the ship:: COM: Nighthawk: Away team to Nighthawk..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: Did you know about this particularity of their customs? He seemed to think Starfleet has already agreed
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: your tricorder is fine, but not anything else. I'm sorry, but we don't want anything to do with all your technology

ACTION:  The Nighthawk receives a comm from the planet.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Stands up and motions for his replacement::  CO:  Yes sir!  If you need me for anything, I'll be down in the flight bay.  :: Heads to the TL::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks up from his padd:: COM: XO: Go ahead commander.
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Don't have too much fun. :: Smiles::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks back to the local, as she didn’t know he was listening:: Sam: Thank you ::smiles briefly::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  I'll try not to sir.  :: Grins mischievously::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@COM: CO: Sir.. We have encountered a little issue here.. It seems these inhabitants are under the impression they had an agreement with Starfleet about a dress code.. All persons visiting will have to do so naked..
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Rubs his chin:: COM: XO: Say again?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@COM: CO: Sir, they will not accept anyone stepping foot on the planet with clothes on...
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Before he gets into the TL he stops as he overhears the XO::  CO:  Is there a problem down on the surface?
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: It seems that the away team needs to be naked down there.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
PO: McGee, have a look at these Plasma relays for me, I have a feeling they could do better.
CO Capt Monroe says:
COM: XO: I have to look into it.  Does your team feel.... :: Pauses:: ok with it?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem.  Perhaps they should have sent a delegate of Betazoids down there.  :: Grins::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods to the XO as she listens to the conversation::
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Are you volunteering?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Glances around at the team members:: All: Anyone have objections against.. A more... Natural… Dress code?
PO McGee says:
aCTO: Aye sir. :: Examines the plasma relays::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Captain, you know Betazoids are very comfortable going au natural.  Humans make too big a deal out of things like that.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: I am not looking forward to it. But if I must and Starfleet does not object to my not using my uniform... I don't know where we will pin our badges though
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: So you are volunteering... ::Smiles::
CIV Storm says:
@ XO:  I admit, I am not comfortable with it.  I would rather not.  However, if I am needed... I will comply.
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Waits patiently outside the shuttle for the guests to make up their mind::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@All: I will not force anyone to take off their uniform.. There is a limit to ordering people do things.. This is one step over that limit.. :: Looks around::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Only if the others down there are having a problem with it.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: We have a job to do sir
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*XO*:  Sir, if you need any volunteers down there.  I'm ready to go at a moments notice.
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: How is upper atmosphere on the planet?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@*FCO*: Thank you lieutenant.. I'd say, get ready.. And if you can find some more willing persons aboard, they are always welcome to replace team members that are not comfortable with it.. How about Varesh? :: Shudders at the thought of a naked Varesh::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: I might have a plan, standby
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV/XO: So are the three of us going? He let me take the tricorder, which is about all I need. I don’t see a need fo phasers
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Thinks a moment:: All: Okay.. Let's comply with their wish for now, but as soon as I.... ::Hears the CO:: *CO*: Yes sir... ::Looks back at the team:: All: As I was saying, as soon as I have people to replace us, I will let them..
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*XO*:  I believe the CNS is busy at the moment.  But I'll see if there's anyone else that wouldn't be bothered by the dress code.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Commander, perhaps you did not understand me. I do not mind their dress code; I want to get to the bottom of this. I don’t need to be replaced
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Goes back and checks his console::  CO:  Sir, atmosphere is fine.
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks at his complement of people and whispers:: team: This is taking them a while. I guess they don't feel too comfortable about it
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@OPS: All the better, Alex.. The more people we can put on the case.. :: Smiles::
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Good, Prepare the Chameleon, I want it ready in a few minutes.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@*FCO*: Alright, no problem, see you when you get here..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Shrugs and sits down, taking her boots off:: XO/CIV: Walking will be tough
CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: Can you ask Doctor Storm if she can take the scans from the air?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@*CO*: Yes sir. :: Looks at Storm:: CIV: Could you? :: Smiles at her::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Runs some scans on the hull plating of the new vehicle::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*XO*:  I'm on my way as soon as I prep the Chameleon.
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  I had not thought of that.  :: With a resigned sigh, sits down and begins to follow suit.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Sir, planning on a trip?
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Well I can't really leave the ship.  But have the new vehicle on the Chameleon.
PO McGee says:
aCTO: Ensign, everything seems fine with the plasma relays.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Quickly removes the rest of the uniform, the sooner its over the better. Then she steps back outside holding her tricorder and her badge:: Sam: Will this suit you and your people?
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
PO: Understood McGee.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  That would be a bit difficult sir.  The Siren will not fit inside the Chameleon.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Starts feeling awkward for the first time, trying hard not to look at anyone or even herself::
CIV Storm says:
@:: Thinking for a minute, reaches into one of her bags and pulls out a string.  Quickly makes a 'bracelet' for her comm badge, then finishes stripping.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Shrugs as he hears Gomes exit the shuttle and looks around for a bit of privacy to undress himself::
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Smiles as their guests have finally made up their mind:: OPS: This will be just fine.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Feeling the blush to her toes, steps off the ship next to Gomes and looks around.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods back with a smile, attaches the badge to the tricorder:: Sam: Our first officer will join us shortly. For some reason he thought it best to undress by himself
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Wonders:: FCO: Hmm.. What would you suggest?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@Sam: You live in a very nice planet. You don't use any kind of technology?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Well, if we have permission from the planet, perhaps we could take the Siren down for a test drive, so to speak?
CIV Storm says:
@:: Wishes she were as comfortable as Gomes with this simply waits.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Takes off his shoes, his uniform and picks up the only item he'd really be needing, his commbadge, then heads to the exit, not at all feeling comfortable::
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks at the reaction of their guests:: All: I'm sure you will get used to it. OPS: only what we can make with our own hands. ::smiles:: Which is enough for us
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@Sam: Even farming items? Certainly it must be hard to feed a whole planet without big engines
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Sir, just for the record, those that are going along with the dress code, are not at all comfortable with it.....except for one person.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Glances at Gomes, as she is talking to McGlen::
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Ok. Who?
CO Capt Monroe says:
*aCTO*: Report to the bridge.
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: Well, we can all take care of ourselves. And we don't have that many people to feed. I'm not sure how many people live on this planet, but we don't starve
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  The only person I'm picking up as being comfortable in that surrounding is Cmdr. Gomes.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Notices the XO has return and deliberately avoids looking directly at him. Stops talking so he can handle the conversation as he sees fit::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Hits his head off the underside hull plating of the Siren:: *CO*: I'm on my way Captain.
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: Besides, we can grow food the whole year, so we never have a shortage of fresh food
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: I thought it would be the Commander..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods to Sam then waits for Jackson to speak::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Crawls out from under the vehicle and heads for the TL::
CIV Storm says:
@:: Deliberately gives the first officer as much 'privacy' as this situation calls for and waits to move on.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Notices the sudden end to the conversation and looks up, approaching McGlen:: McGlen: I hope you appreciate our.. Gesture.. :: Smiles faintly:: Self: Because I do not...
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks over at the XO as he joins the group:: XO: I'm glad you decided to abide by the rule that your own government decided to uphold
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
TL: Deck one, Bridge.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Takes the sound off her tricorder not to offend anyone and lets it record::
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: What does that device do?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: McGlen: Naturally.. I assume you have been informed of our business on the planet..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@Sam: It records data from the environment. It will allow me to set a baseline for the plant life on your planet. So I can compare it with the contaminated shipment
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Steps off the TL and onto the bridge:: CO: You called Cap'n?
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: we were informed that you were coming yes ::looks at OPS with a puzzled look:: OPS: I see...
CO Capt Monroe says:
ACTO/FCO: I want a plan to infiltrate using the Siren in 10 Minutes.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Hopes she was convincing enough and glances at Storm::
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: There was talk of some kind of virus being here? :: Tries to look like he had a clue what OPS was talking about::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks over as the aCTO steps onto the bridge::  CO:  Infiltrate sir?  Are they not granting us permission to use the Siren?
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Looks to the FCO:: CO: Do we have any detailed maps of the area?
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: I want to be quiet with our new vehicle.  It might be that they are trying to hide something.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods slowly:: McGlen: Yes, there was indeed.. We're sorry we need to bother you with it, but there is a chance some of the persons on the planet are infected too. It seems to have made it's way out of here with the crew of one of the last medical transorts out of here..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Listens carefully to the XO's story so she can follow it::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Not entirely sure it was the same way the CO had told the story. He liked his own plan better anyway::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  I understand your skepticism Captain, but I'm not sensing any deception from the inhabitants.
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: I see... well, you're welcome to look around, but i can assure you that none of the people i know are ill.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks at Sam, picking up impressions without violating mental privacy.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@McGlen: Thank you, but we would like to be sure none the less. And of course, we will want to investigate the source of the illness..
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods:: FCO: Ok.  :: Hits his commbadge:: *XO*: Ask the leader there if we can send the Siren to enhance our search
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@Sam: Perhaps the best place to start is on the facilities where you prepare the medicines you export? :: Looks at the XO for approval::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Trigger, how do you feel about working without a uniform on?
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks from the XO to OPS:: OPS: well, I’d be more than welcome to accompany you ::Hides the fact that, although not having bad intentions, he does feel this visit like an intrusion::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Frowns slightly, then nods slowly:: McGlen: Commander Gomes is one of our specialists when it comes to scientific things.. :: Smiles:: She'll know much better how to proceed than I do.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Looks to the FCO:: FCO: As in civvies sir?
CIV Storm says:
@ OPS:  Alex, I forgot to tell you something... about...  :: stops::  I will tell you later.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@Sam: Thank you. Once this is cleared I am sure you can continue your exports with no problems. But until the matter is cleared your economy may suffer
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks at Storm and whispers:: CIV: Are you sure?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  As in nothing but what some people call their birthday suit.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Sir?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@McGlen: Before we head out anywhere, I'd like to as for your approval to bring down a machine we have, so we can search under water. The source might originally come from there.. We want to exclude it as soon as we can..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Speaks up:: XO: Yes scientific "things" are one of my specialities
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Come now, I know I'm not speaking in a language you can't understand.  ::grins::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks at OPS and waits for them to be basically alone.::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: Well sir, I never thought I'd be asked to work in the... nude.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Stays back as if very interested to examine a flower::
Sam McGlen says:
@OPS: Our economy does not rely much on our export.  As I said before, we are self sufficient. It's more of a mutual agreement which benefits both Starfleet and us. XO: I'm sorry, but we don't want technology on our planet
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  I can see you're as uncomfortable as the others.  Got any Betazoids in your department who might want to head down to the planet in out new vehicle?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@McGlen: Are you sure? This could bring up a lot of things you may not have thought possible to exist.. We might also find out why it is that none of your people fell ill to this, while some of our freighter people did..
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Quietly::  OPS:  I was running some tests... and it was one of those serendipity moments, but our small... guest, happens to do very well in water.  I am not sure how long it can stay underwater, but it would be interesting to discover... if I could do it knowing I wasn't killing it.  I was just thinking... as this is a water world... ::shrugs:
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: Oh don't get me wrong sir, I'm willing to do it, it was just a little unexpected if you know what I mean.
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: I'm sorry, but we have very specific agreements with Starfleet... I hope you don't want to break those agreements? You are welcome to dive down yourselves of course
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Of course I know what you mean.  But I just wouldn't want your conscientiousness of the idea getting in the way of gathering some info.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: McGlen: Alright... We will, at some point.. *CO*: Captain, Jackson here.. We have a no go on the submarine expedition..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Whispers:: CIV: That is very interesting indeed. If it can survive underwater, then that would be the best place to breed it...in an underwater facility. But how do we investigate that?
CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: Very Well, Keep me appraised with your progress.  FCO: Have the Siren ready for infiltration.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CO:  Understood.  :: Heads toward the TL once more::
CO Capt Monroe says:
ACTO: Accompany Lieutenant Knight
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  I could use your assistance Trigger.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Clears her throat:: XO: That would be quite a good idea sir...we could know some more about this planet's ecosystems and where the virus may have originated
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: Trust me sir, it wouldn't get in the way. :: Joins the FCO in the TL::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Quietly:: OPS:  I believe that is why the Admiral gave us her new baby to play with.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: OPS: Alright.. Do we have diving gear in the shuttle, by any chance?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Whispering still:: CIV: Good thinking, from both you and Harlan
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: We do, if we can use it ::looks at Sam::
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks over as he hears someone whispering. Somehow his feelings towards these guests are changing.. they aren't very civil and he starts to doubt their truthfulness::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Turns and faces the aCTO as the TL doors close::  aCTO:  Look, if there's a chance we'll be working without any clothes on, the least you can do is to call me Aaron.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: To be honest I'm just itching to get the Siren off the ground.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Extends his hand:: FCO: Caelan. ::smiles
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Smiles and extends his hand::  aCTO:  Nice to be able to have a first name.
CIV Storm says:
@:: Turns to look at Sam easily reading him.::  Sam:  I am sorry... very sorry.  I just did not want our conversation to interrupt yours and the first officers.  Commander Gomes and I are working together on a project and there was something I had forgotten to tell her... I did not want to forget again.
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: I find it helps sometimes.  I don't like being so formal all the time.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: McGlen: We do are allowed to use our diving gear, aren't we? We'll need to breath in the water.
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks up in surprise:: CIV: You... can read my mind? And you DID read my mind, without my knowledge or consent? :: Starts to feel real uneasy with this development::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Raises her eyebrows a bit alarmed::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Grins::  aCTO:  Well, you've got a lot to learn about me....and formalities.  Caelan, I'm not the kind of guy who goes by the book.  ::steps out of the TL as it comes to a stop::
Sam McGlen says:
@:: Looks at the XO and with an edge to his voice says:: XO: We have some equipment you could use
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Shakes her head emphatically::  Sam:  No sir... I did not.  But your emotions... those are hard to block.  Honest, I do not read peoples minds unless I have to.  :: wrinkles her nose.:: Very noisy up there.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@::shrugs::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@McGlen: I'd like to inspect that before agreeing to that. If they do not meet our standards, I insist on using our own gear.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks over to the science station and looks up the agreement between the Federation and this planet::
Sam McGlen says:
@XO: If they do not meet your standards I suggest you learn how to hold your breath. I'm sorry, but the agreement was clear and so was I.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Well, I am certain that if it works for these good people it works for us ::smiles trying to break the think ice forming::
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
:: Steps out of the TL with Aaron:: FCO: Well, I can't say I'm one for protocol and all that but it does help at times, got me my qualifications.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Sighs, hanging her head, realizing she had made things worse not better.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Glances sideways at Gomes, then back to McGlen:: McGlen: We will see... ::Nods::
Sam McGlen says:
@CIV: I see. :: Doesn't feel comfortable at all anymore. Not that he felt comfortable in the first place, but the fact that someone can read his... emotions is not a comforting thought::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Steps inside the Siren and heads for the controls::  aCTO:  So, any suggestions as to the upgrade on defenses?
aCTO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: I'd suggest the fitting of three mk2 shield emitters and a dorsal phaser array.
CIV Storm says:
@:: Walks over to the first officer and quietly.::  XO:  I am sorry sir...
FCO LtJG Knight says:
aCTO:  Hmmm, that works for me.
