Summary
	The Siren is tracking a signal to the middle of nowhere on the planet, deep down, not far from a barren island.  Things are relatively quiet on the Siren as the aCMO keeps track of things, CIV enjoys the study of some of the marine life, CNS works through the discover that Storm and he share fathers, and the XO thinks through plans.
	The captain and aCSO have gone down to the planet and discovered that the youth there, having rebelled in the wake of no technology, traded information for simple ‘toys’.  They fear being kicked off their home.
	The Miradorn twins now in separate rooms continue to suffer their captors, only this time they have been introduced to the bugs they originally sought.  Ra-kol is being kept company by one of the bugs.

Announcements

•	Please try to be at mission 30 minutes before mission time and no less then 15 minutes.  It helps set things up.
•	Try to get your logs in by Friday.
•	Scott K:  viper116@gmail.com, Rob L:  rhm.lemmens@home.nl
•	Don’t forget, the MO has general information on the planet Freedom.

Time Lapse:
	1.50 hours.  We will start 10 minutes before arrival

Captain's Log Stardate 10511.05: I have sent the Siren down to the surface on a Covert Mission.  I am awaiting their results.

First officer's log, stardate 10511.05 - I have finally arrived on the Siren and, fortunately, found some clothes there. We are now preparing to take a look around below the water surface, where our limited personal gear could not take us.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Turns to see Storm entering the flight deck:: CIV: Welcome to the Siren.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Meanwhile, taps her console to access the communications:: COM: Siren: Siren, this is Commander Gomes. My business with the Captain is finished. Do you still need my presence on the planet?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@COM: CSO: Let me check with Commander Jackson, just hold on a moment.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: As he is put in another cell he can feel his brother close by::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@COM: Siren: Acknowledged. Standing by
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@FCO: We're still 3 hours away from that signal Aaron.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@*XO*: Gary, do we need Alex down here, or can she stay on the ship for this part of the trip?
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Lying in his cell he feels weakened. his brother is close by.. it's comforting, though he is still farther away than is good for them::
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  How are things going with you?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: It’s going well... but I have a feeling you have something you need to tell me... but since I asked you not to say anything unless I asked you about my genetics, you are in a quandry as to what to do... am I right?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks onto the bridge::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Walks through the door to the command area as the counselor speaks:: CNS: Not at this time, we already have a good load of scientists right here with us..

Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Since he doesn't know how long they'll be here, he decides to try and take some rest. Very hard to do when you feel your brother is hurt, but this way at least one of them will feel strong::
OPS Yel says:
CO: Aye sir, any specific orders?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@::looks a bit wary:: CIV: Then perhaps I think we need to find a spot off the fight deck and have a little chat... I can just see what you know is really weighing on your mind.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS Yel: Have a security team meet me there.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
COMM: Siren: Its his team ::sounds a bit disappointed:: COM: Siren: Contact back if you need anything. Nighthawk out
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@ :: Studies the readings on the sonar screen::
OPS Yel says:
CO: Yes sir, and a pilot?
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks seriously at him.::  CNS:  You must really want to know sir...
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Want to head to the surface?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up wondering where the captain wants to go::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: I think it is important enough for me to know... I might not like what I hear, but I do need to know.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS Yel: No I will pilot it.  And no, I will not be doing any acrobat flybys this time. :: Smiles::
OPS Yel says:
:: Nods to the captain wondering what he means::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Certainly. What do you have in mind? :: Joins him::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Taking a deep breath, leads him off the bridge and to the small dinning room.::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
% ::This situation is really getting to him. He takes off one of his shirts and rips it up, using the fabric the dress some of his wounds::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: It is about time I met the colonists.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Walks with Storm, feeling a bit disconcerted::
   Dratt says:
% :: Enters the cell with a small box in hand:: Ar-kol:  Comfortable?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Some diplomacy? I always like to know more about a different culture ... but are you ready for their clothing habits?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Opens his eyes as someone enters his cell. When he sees it's Dratt he stands up, flexing his muscles to make them loose:: Dratt: I was
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Can I get you something to drink?  :: Walks over to the replicator.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I am ready to take off my clothes if I have to.
OPS Yel says:
CO: Shuttle Rainy ready for departure sir. And the security team is on their way
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: Some orange juice, please.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Takes a seat on the Siren's small bridge as the CNS and CIV leave, and just looks around::
   Dratt says:
% :: Nods to the guard who places a chair for him to sit on.::  Ar-kol:  Good.. very good.  :: sits and opens the box.::  I have something here that is very lovely to behold.

@ :: Nods and brings to the table two glasses of juice, putting one before the counselor.::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Stands at ease, not showing it on the outside, but ready to make use of any opportunity that arises.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Raises an eyebrow at the captain then heads for the TL:: CO: Shall I take anything specific or just my tricorder?
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Sure.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Takes a sip:: CIV: I take this is something that will have an impact on me, in some form or another?
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Actually, it might have on the both of us.  :: Plays with the glass in her hand, lightly marking the precipitation forming on the outside of it.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Takes that as a "just the tricorder" and waits for the CO to join her before speaking up :: Computer: Shuttlebay
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Stands and goes to the replicator to get a coffee before returning to watch over the sensor readings::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Raises an eyebrow:: CIV: How do you mean?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Do you think they know about these insects being bred on their planet?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks into the TL::
   Dratt says:
% :: Shows him the bug inside the box.::  Ar-kol:  Have you seen one of these before?
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS Yel: You have the ship.  Take good care of her.
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  Well... ummm... :: shakes her head::  I have no idea how to say this!  :: frustrated.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: Sometimes the best way is just to say it. ::gives her a gentle smile::
OPS Yel says:
CO: Yes sir. Hopefully you will find it as you left it ::nods and heads for the center chair::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Takes a deep breath.::  CNS:  I am your half sister.  We share fathers.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Moves a little closer to see what's inside the box. As he spots the bug he raises an eyebrow. Being an experienced liar he looks at Dratt like he doesn't have a clue, Hiding the fact that he knows very well what this is:: Dratt: Local fauna? I can't say I’ve seen it before
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Looks at Storm for a moment, processing the information:: CIV: Did you say half siblings?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Waits for the CO to let the lift doors close so it can get n its way::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Tying up his wounds gives him some relief at least, though it doesn’t compare to what a good MO could do with it::

Scenery:  The waters have slowly changed colors from light blue to the midnight black.  The sensors have picked up a myriad of different species to tempt any marine biologist.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Stands inside the TL::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Takes a sip of his coffee and rubs his eyes after staring at the same display for a while::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Notices the aCMO went to get some coffee and feels like something hot himself, so he decides to get up and walk next doors to get a drink as well::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Where do you want to land? Again the government island?
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Ok.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Exits onto the shuttlebay corridor once the TL stops and waits for the Captain to walk side by side with him::
   Dratt says:
% :: Smiles.::  Ar-Kol:  In that case, perhaps you would like to get to know it a bit better... being one who likes to be off on his own.  :: Stands, putting the box on the floor, deactivating the shield.:. Enjoy.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: You never answered me ... do you think they are involved in the insect breeding? The locals I mean
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Spots the XO getting up and smiles:: XO: Looks like it's going to be a long day.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: His mind running in all directions, the news of having another sibling being very big news indeed::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Waiting for the other two men to leave before she answers.::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%::He stands still, not wanting to reveal that he knows how lethal the bug is. But he's ready to jump away at the first sign of movement in his direction. He unbuckles his belt, so he can take it and swing at the bug should that be necessary::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Indeed.. I hope a little drink will get us through.. Excuse me.. :: Walks through the door, nodding at the CNS and CIV as he walks to the replicator::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Feeling the anxiety in his brother, he gets restless... what's going on... Why is his brother suddenly so alarmed?::
   Dratt says:
% :: Waves good-bye as he exits the room.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Yes I think they are behind it or have some connection to it.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Looks almost annoyed at the intrusion::
CIV Storm says:
@ ~~~~ CNS:  I am sorry... I guess I should have taken you to one of the labs.  Are you alright?~~~~
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Walks to the shuttlebay and looks for the Rainy:: CO: Their representative didnt seem to be hiding anything. He was neither upset nor eager about having us there. But then again I never had the chance to discuss his feelings with Storm. But he was upset to know she was a telepath
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@~~~CIV: Its unexpected news, to say the least... is that why I felt such a bond to you even though I didn't know who you were?~~~
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Watches the XO walk out and starts to feel deserted::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Takes his drink and leaves again, nodding an apologies at Varesh and Storm:: CIV/CNS: Carry on.. :: Smiles faintly::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Shrugs::  ~~~~ CNS:  I do not know about that.  I rather thought I disturbed you because you were unable to read me.~~~~  ::smiles.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks beside Gomes:: CSO: I have a feeling, and that feeling is never wrong.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%::As the door is closed he takes his belt, takes a step closer and smacks the bug with it:: Self: bah, i hate bugs ::Hoping that this will give his captors the impression that he doesn't know what he's up against::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Oh? And here I thought you were a simple human. ::smiles as she enters the shuttle::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: As quickly as he advanced, he moves back again::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@~~~CIV: That was part of it, but not that big a problem in the first place. More a curiosity.~~~ ::smiles at her::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: To be honest you never struck me as a man of feelings...I thought Starfleet captains weren’t allowed to have them. Aren’t you supposed to justify your every action with reason?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods at his security team, and waits for the doors to close:: CSO: It is more of an Admiral-able Feeling.

ACTION:  The insect slowly climbs out of the box to pause, its antennae twitching, searching.

Ens Ra-Kol says:
%::Feeling that his brother is somehow really pumped up, and feeling his own condition, Ra-Kol thinks it's time to give the home team a small advantage, as he activates his transponder::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Frowns smiling and brings the navigation console online.:: CO: If you need help piloting count with me, its a hobby of mine
CIV Storm says:
@ CNS:  I am not sure how you might take all of this... I mean... you didn't seem to really care to know your father.  And I think I need to talk to my father... ummm... our father?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@ :: Takes his seat on the small bridge again:: aCMO: Well, here we are.. Waiting. :: Thinks for a moment:: Anything interesting on those scans yet?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Inputs the coordinates for the island on the planet and waits for the Captain to start the engines as the security team take their seats on the back::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: It is alright.  I have to practice.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Fiddles with a few settings on the phaser banks to enable them to fire under water::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Waits for a couple seconds:: *OPS Yel*: Shuttle Rainy Ready to depart.
OPS Yel says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Opening bay doors. Have a pleasant trip Captain
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: You knew him while growing up... I didn't I had to work through my mother's resentment because he left... but that was between them. This is us now, we have to make our own decisions on the matter... and at the moment, I need to think a bit. I hope you understand... and yes, tell him Malita's son would like to see him sometime.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: That creature is fast... He tries one more time. He takes one step closer, lashing with his belt to the creature, then retreating again, trying to make as little movement as possible::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
EDIT I didn't - I had to>
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Checks on the sonar again and sees a variety of marine life, very strange creatures, not like the ones back on earth::
CIV Storm says:
@ CIV:  As far as I know... he never knew about you.  My father is not the kind of man to abandon a child of his own.  I know he was disappointed he never had other then me.  :: Stands::  I do understand... after all, I have had a couple of days to work this out.  I will see you later?  :: With a wary smile, turns to leave, feeling all the rampant emotions going through him.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Shall we Captain? I inputted the coordinates for you
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Let's go.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Powers up the Shuttle and pulls it out::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Catches her hand just as she leaves:: CIV: Regardless of everything else... I'm glad I do know you.

ACTION:  The shuttle slips the bounds of the Nighthawk only to find itself being captured by the planet.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks out, glad to be in the middle of the mystery again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: We're in orbit, all systems nominal
   
ACTION:  Dratt's voice comes from the nowhere.

CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Very well.  :: Points the nose of the shuttle down.
CO Capt Monroe says:
::
   Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  Do you not like my friend?  I have many of his siblings for you to play with if you harm that one.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Checks course and speed and extrapolates and ETA of 2.5 hours::
   
ACTION:  The shuttle slips through the atmosphere, bouncing lightly with some rough currents before landing near the other shuttle lying abandoned on the planet.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: What’s the plan...if I may ask?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Still standing still he keeps an eye on the bug as he answers:: Dratt: I'm not particularly fond of bugs. Besides, he looks so much like you that i couldn't help myself
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Smiles her understanding and leaves, her juice untouched and makes her way to the bridge.::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Notes the signal getting incrementally stronger as the siren inches closer to it::
   Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  My my my... I never expected to get such a compliment, especially from you.  Thank you.  Though personally I found the bug much lovelier.
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Just interaction nothing more.  :: Sets the Shuttle down and waits for the Team to head out::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
#:: Gets up and walks further into the sub to one of the labs, needing a bit more privacy to think::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: That’s easy ... I wonder...will they like us landing a second shuttle without asking?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Takes the aCMO's silence as a no, and sits back, waiting for something to come up::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Gives a smile to that answers... touché... :: Dratt: I was only talking looks. I don't know how friendly it is yet, but it can hardly be worse than you
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Pulls on the CSO's Jacket:: CSO: Just one second.  ::Waits for his security team walks out::
Ens Reddish says:
CO: Sir, before we go, shall we keep all our equipment?
   Dratt says:
% Ar-Kol:  Ahhh... as for that, I am sure once the two of you officially meet, you will have your answer.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Ens Reddish: Keep personal phasers on.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods to the CO::CO: He does have a point, should they go clothe-less?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I've just finished another scan and all I'm getting on it is marine life, nothing of any threat to us.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Ens Reddish:  Keep your equipment on.  We might run into some resistance.
   
ACTION:  One of the colonists comes to greet the shuttle as the 'mayor' was occupied, though no one had mentioned another vessel coming.

Ens Reddish says:
:: Nods and heads out with his team::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks at the Co wondering why he wanted to wait::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%Dratt: Well, under the circumstances at which you left me with it, I presume I won't like it. But I’ve had some tough dates in my time, so nothing new there
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Commander, there has been a development that was recently brought to my attention.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Walks up behind the doctor.::  aCMO:  Really?  :: Sighs:: I don't suppose we can get any samples?  Very little is known about this planets life.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: What sort of development...?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Starts thinking this cant be good::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I can beam some samples aboard; do you want live ones or dead ones?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@ :: Nods absent mindedly. The marine life on this planet was not what they had come here for::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@::idly taps a rhythm on the counter, wondering what Storm’s dad is like... he can't quite think of the man as his own father yet.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: There is an operative on the surface that was sent in before us.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Can we contact him?
   Deneb says:
All:  You cannot come onto the planet with weapons and clothes... you know the treaty!
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: No unfortunately we lost contact with him,
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Looks at the XO hoping he would allow it.::
Ens Reddish says:
:: Looks at the colonist as he was not trained in diplomacy:: Colonist: this is just a quick visit. Our Captain is inside, he will explain
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Hears the commotion outside, peeks his head out:: Deneb: One second.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Frowns:: CO: So this is a rescue mission? I wish they had told us earlier
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: Well if you were told would I be here?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Feels, rather than sees Storm's look and nods again, slowly:: CIV: Proceed.. At least we will not have wasted all these resources without anything in return..
  aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Opens the shield window and beams a few different samples of marine life straight to the live sample containment tanks along with a supply of the local water::
 Deneb says:
:: Shakes his head:: Reddish:  No  no no!  Absolutely positively NO!
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Feeling very tired he falls into an uncomforting sleep::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: CO: Well, lets do what we must. You better go talk to that colonist before he starts hand to hand combat with our team over clothing ...
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Smiles::  aCMO:  Thank you...  :: Nods to the first officer her thanks too.::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Closes the window again:: XO: I got some, they're in tanks 1, 2 and 3 when you're ready.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks out of the shuttle:: Reddish: Have your team hang back in the shuttle.
CIV Storm says:
@ XO:  Sir, I will be in the lab should anyone need me?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CIV: Very well.. I will be right here in case you need me..
Ens Reddish says:
:: Nods to the Captain and retreats inside followed by his team::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: Hello, I am Captain Sid Monroe, from the Starship Nighthawk.  And you are?
   
ACTION: The bug stills as if searching, turning one way then another, but not moving.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Walks behind the captain and stays there listening and discretelly scanning::
CIV Storm says:
@ :: With a smile, happily goes to investigate.::
   Deneb says:
CO:  Deneb... I live around here.  The Mayor is unavailable at the moment... he is at one of those dreaded all call meetings that happen twice a year.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He stands very still, not at all sure that will work, but it's a theory he wants to try. At least his brother may be able to give Starfleet the results should he fail::
   
ACTION:  All is silent in Ar-kols room; it is a stand-off.  Who will move first?

CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: Alright.  I am wondering if I may to talk to you about some things.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
Self: Some things?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Checks on the air scrubbers::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Suddenly he feels an itch on his nose... this really is bad timing to go scratching... He remains still as he ignores the feeling::
   Deneb says:
:: Looks taken aback:: CO:  Me?  Why would you want to talk to me?
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: Well you might know what is going on more than me.
CIV Storm says:
@ :: Makes her way to the main lab and smiles as she sees the various specimens in the room.  The first thing she does is go about to make sure temperature and pressure are correct for each one.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Mutters softly to himself as he paces the room, trying to reason the whole thing out...::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks thoughtfully::
   
ACTION:  Someone opens the cell door to Ra-Kol's room and a bug enters.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Sees they are fine and checks the depth below the Siren's keel::
   Deneb says:
:: Sudden panic enters his young eyes and he shakes his head.::  CO:  No sir... I know nothing... nothing at all.  Really you need to speak with the Mayor.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Unaware that a bug was put in his cell he continues to sleep uncomfortably; shifting his weight::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Raises an eyebrow and whispers to the CO:: CO: knows nothing does he? He certainly doesn't sound ignorant
   
ACTION:  The bug slowly enters the room and finds splatters of blood where it begins to enjoy itself, following the trail.
   
Deneb says:
:: Slowly begins to back away.::  CO:  Remember... the rules say no clothes and definatly no weapons.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: There might be something bad happening on this planet.  I need your help
   Deneb says:
:: Looks around for his friends.:: CO:  There is really nothing I can help you with.  After all, this is a simple planet.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Turning on his other side he thinks he hears something and opens his eyes... only to see a bug in his cell. Almost overpowered by fatigue he closes his eyes again... then suddenly opens them wide as he recognizes the bug::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: I can tell you are afraid, what are you afraid of?
   Deneb says:
CO:  Nothing... I am afraid of nothing.  :: Puffs his chest out a bit.::
   
ACTION:  A disgruntled Dratt enters Ar-kols room.

Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Involuntarily he takes a step back as he feels his brother is suddenly very anxious::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: Then why can't you talk to me?  You afraid of the Mayor?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks out of the forward window into the darkness::
   Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  For someone who knows nothing, you seem to be handling my friend rather well.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks straight into Deneb's eyes, wishing she could read minds:: Self: he knows something. They aren't innocent ...
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%Dratt: Not knowing what something is doesn't mean i can't think. Sheesh, what kind of people do you hang around that you think everyone is a moron?
   Deneb says:
:: Shakes his head, deflating a bit.::  CO:  No... well, yes... we could... hey what is you want to know anyways?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Turns on the low level light display on the main screen to enhance the view of the surroundings::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%::As he sees the bug feeding on his blood he freezes... What can he do?::
   Dratt says:
% Ar-kol:  The Federation.  :: Retrieves his bug.::  By the way... there is a Federation ship in orbit.  I suppose you know nothing about that either?
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: I have a problem.  There is a bug that is going to infect the universe.
   Deneb says:
:: Swallows hard::  CO:  The universe?  They just said... :: shuts up.::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: On the inside he is glad... their message came through! On the outside however he remains calm:: Dratt: The federation? Well, i would prefer their company to yours
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Turns to the doors:: Self: This will have to wait until this is over...
CO Capt Monroe says:
Deneb: What did they say?
   Dratt says:
% :: His eyes narrow::  Ar-kol:  I am sure you would be... until later... maybe.  :: slams the door behind him.::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%::He remains still, but wonders why the bug didn't go after Dratt::
   
Scenery:  On the Siren's viewing screen, various volcanoes can be seen spotting the area the Siren is passing through, lighting up the terrain and other various marine life that lives in the increasingly warm waters.
   
Deneb says:
CO: That they just wanted a place to live by themselves... and would do anything to do so... in exchange for... :: sighs and looks down at his feet.::
