Summary:
Beta shift: Dimitri and Rose chat in sickbay while Aaron spends some time with the counselor and friends.  The XO has the bridge and the CTO and CSO are on duty as they deal with a rather odd cry of help from a child on a freighter owned by the Hagots, a non-federation ally.  An away team prepares to board the ship to discover what is actually going on.

Time Lapse:
Approximately 8 hours

Announcements:
•	Upon request, the 30 minute time lapse has been shifted to the beginning of the next shift.  The reason for the delay had to do with the transporter.  
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10709.01
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
I have invited the commander of the transport onto the Nighthawk to discuss the current situation and see if we can help them.  I hope to find a solution that will benefit both parties.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
End Log
TimS says:
First Officer's Log, Stardate 10709.01 - I am on the bridge of the alien transporter, looking over the contracts between the group of travelers and the operator of this freighter. What exactly we will find, I don't know, but hopefully it will help.
TimS is now known as XO Cmdr Jackson.

Host NightWind says:
<<<<< Headen for Eden... Yea, brother... The Journey III>>>>>
Host NightWind says:
Scenery: The Nighthawk sits quietly near by the Freighter Dross.  All is quiet… except on the freighter itself where too many people are crammed into too small a space for too long a time.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::looks arround the room trying to ignire the stench. Then she picks up a small rock of the mineral carried by the colonists, hoping they won't notice::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::at his console frowning at the movements of the bio readings::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Stands by the window overlooking the Freighter::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> :: Stays close to the Federation woman.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::On the bridge of the freighter, seeing everything appears to be in order with the contracts::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Brianna, can you give me a hand here please.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::taps her badge::*CTO*: Tulpen to Trigger
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Lieutenant.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Sitting quietly on the bridge, just... waiting.  Looks up as a voice intrudes on her thoughts.  Blinks and turns around.::  CTO:  Sure... what's up doc?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Turns to the first officer again:: Durm: Alright.. These seem to be in order, though we need to check this on our ship of course... Should not take long.. In the mean time, again, I'd like to know the reason why your customers cannot be brought to their requested destination..
NightWind is now known as First Officer Durm.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@*CTO*: I have a sample of a mineral here which I would like to ask Lt Rose to analyze. I don't think its dangerous but you never know. Can you arrange to have a force field in place at one of the science labs?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Can you run a full biological analysis on these beings ::motions to the mass of unknown biosignatures:: from up here or do you need a sample?
Host First Officer Durm says:
@XO: As I told you before, I have no idea what has changed in the scheme of things.  We are only a hired transport vessel... one who usually does not take people.  We are not a cruise vessel and not set up for this, but somewhere, someone thought this would work.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant, I'll beam it into one of the quarantine tanks in lab 1 and get Br... Lieutenant Rose right on it.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::locks onto the sample and attempts to beam it ti Science lab 1::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Decides a new course:: Durm: What is this scheme of things?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Waiting for the CTO to finish talking to her boss.::  CTO: Ummm... what beings?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
<ti=to>
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
*CTO*: Thank you. The mineral sample is right beside me. It should be easy to get a lock on it. Tulpen out!
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ XO: Our task was to pick up the new colonists and transport them to their new home... simple enough.  Beyond the fact there were almost twice the numbers originally agreed on.
Host First Officer Durm says:
ACTION: The transporter lock has trouble tacking hold as it does not register.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::watches as the mineral doesn't seem to want to dematerialize and frowns::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
<@>
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::points to the people around the CSO:: SO: These ones, but I think that can wait for now, I' beaming a sample of the mineral to Lab 1, Lieutenant Tulpen would like you to analyse it and... ::frowns:: Dammit... ::tries to lock on again:: the transporters won't lock
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> :: tugs on the womans shirt.::  CSO: Are you going to come with us?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: That is for my Captain to decide, but do not worry little one, we will get you home
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Walks over::  CTO: Probably the same reason we have blank spaces... this could by quite usefull... or deadly in the wrong hands.  Maybe if she put her commbadge on it... something you can lock onto in a broad range... giving the transporter chief perameters.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Looks Durm directly in the eyes:: Durm: Well, my captain would like to ask you some questions as well... So if you could please join me to our ship..
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::taps her badge again::*CTO*: I guess it wasn't as easy as I hoped?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> CSO: Can I go with you?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: So it would appear, can you put your com badge on it and leave it in a quiet corner, I may have a bit more luck.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: Just a moment
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ :: Sighs heavily and nods::  XO: Let me inform my captain and I will join you.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@*CTO*: Will do, but please beam it back to this room once you have the mineral aboard
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::carefully takes her badge and places it with the mineral in an empty corner, then moves back with the girl hoping the CTO can track her movements and know its ready::
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ :: Turning away, takes a moment to do just that, then turns back around after getting some instructions in general.::  XO: I am ready.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: This rock I picked, why did you bring it?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::tries to lock on again using the combadge as a point of refference for targetting::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Slightly surprised:: Durm: Your captain? ::Makes up his mind quickly:: I'd actually like to speak to him too as soon as I get back... If you could arrange that, that would be great...
Host First Officer Durm says:
ACTION: The transporter chief sets the perameters, gives a warning for all to step away, and then initiates transport.
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ XO: Trust me when I say I would gladly like to do just that, however, my captain is out of commission... how long is unknown... that is up to the doctor.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Frowns:: Durm: You just spoke to him there...
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO: You know, we really need one of them to come aboard or have Lt. Tulpen do an initial scan.  That rock may be a hinderance.
SO Lt Rose says:
@<Qui´a> CSO: I did not bring it... honest.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
SO: That's why I'm trying to beam it to the quarantine field in lab 1... but if I can't lock on to it then it kinda defeats the purpose. ::smiles::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::frowns:: Qui'a: Who did then?
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ XO: Yes...  and if you insist, the docs might let you talk to him via comm, for a very brief time.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> CSO: I don't know.  It is not mine.  Mine is in my bag.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Nods:: Durm: Upon my return then... For now, let's get going.. My captain has some questions...
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ XO: Very well...
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: Can you showm me yours?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Starts heading for the exit, following Durm, as he knows this ship better than him::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Bingo... I got it this time, it's all yours ::smiles properly this time::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
<him = himself>
SO Lt Rose says:
@<Qui´a> :: Nods and taking her hand again, navigates between the various places toward the back and a small area that is hers and her fathers.
SO Lt Rose says:
<::>
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: Tell me, what do you do with it?
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO: I will get right on... have fun with the bridge.  Oh... and by the way?  The captain seems... I don't know... not quite all here.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::beams the CSO's combadge back to her::
Host First Officer Durm says:
@ :: Returning to the small transporter area, where they had beamed aboard.:: XO: You wish to initiate transport via your ship or mine?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Thanks.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> CSO: Nooooooooothing.  It is just to remind us of our home... you know, so we won't get homesick.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@Durm: I'll contact my ship... Just a moment.... *Nighthawk*: Jackson to Nighthawk... Prepare for transport, two persons...
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Makes her way off the bridge and down to the science lab.::
Host First Officer Durm says:
ACTION: A lock is made of the two men and they are beamed aboard the Nighthawk.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::puts her badge again and taps it:: *CTO*: Thanks. I'll continue talking with the locals. If you get any more information on that rock and why we can't register it it would be good
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Materializes on the Nighthawk and looks to his side to make sure Durm made it across as well::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: There are a lot of these rocks where you came from?
Host First Officer Durm says:
:: Steps dow the transporter to follow the XO, his eyes curious as he looks around.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Seeing that he has, he looks at the transporter chief:: TR Chief: Inform the captain I am on my way with the ship's first officer...
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::blinks as his console starts bleeping at him:: *CO*: I have a message coming in for you captain, routing it to your desk console.
SO Lt Rose says:
@<Qui´a> :: Considers::  CSO: I think soooo... at least, there used to be a lot of them around my home area.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Stands back from the Window walks over to the computer:: *CTO*: Route it here.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CO*: Already done Cap'n.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Taps the computer console::
Host First Officer Durm says:
ACTION: On the captains screen, the Federation symbol appears, followed by Admiral Harlan's rather stern face.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Leaves the transporter room with Durm and heads for the nearest turbolift::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: And no one used it for anything? maybe to build houses...or devices...or maybe ships?
Host First Officer Durm says:
XO: What kind of ship is this?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Vaguely smiles at the Admiral::
SO Lt Rose says:
@<Qui´a> CSO: Well... alot of the homes had it inside for flooring and some made their homes from it as it is easy to... :: frowns::  I do not know the word.  Get out of the ground?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
Durm: The ship is officially designated as a fast frigate... ::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::sits in the big chair, decides it's a little too big for his taste and decides to pace the bridge instead::
Host First Officer Durm says:
XO: What is a frigate?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: Its easy to mine them? I understand. Your planet never trated this rock, sold it to other planets?
Host First Officer Durm says:
% COMM: CO: How are things going Sid?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Frowns, finding it somewhat of an odd question:: Durm: A.. A light cruiser, I guess... We're a scout and patrol vessel, equiped for combat..
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> :: shrugs her shoulders::  I do not know.  Dad might.  He is the leader of our clan after all. :: proudly::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
COM: Harlan: Good Admiral.  Everything going well Admiral?
Host First Officer Durm says:
% COMM: CO: Your hot potatoe is starting to cool.  How is Commander Jackson these days?  Do you trust him?
Host First Officer Durm says:
XO: Combat?  You are made for war?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
COM: Harlan: Commander Jackson?  I trust him.  Why do you ask?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::looks at the view screen which is still displaying the layout of the freighter::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: I see and ... can you tell me why he had to leave? Its really important that we know
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
Durm: The Federation has known its share of conflict.. This ship is meant primarily for guard duty, with only a secondary role for intervening action... Assault, to use a more blunt term.. But lately we do find ourselves on more of those assignments... ::Sighs as the doors open:: Ah, we have arrived... ::Exits and walks over to the ready room, pressing the chime::
Host First Officer Durm says:
% COMM: CO: Enough to turn over the ship to him for awhile?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::watches the XO and the other man walk through the bridge without even acknowledging him and feels invisible::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: COM: Harlan: Turn the ship over to him?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> CSO: Well... :: embarrassed:: we are not exactly well liked.... our religious beliefs that is.  This is not the first time we have had to move.  Long before I was born, we were moved to our last home because we were... ::imitating her father's voice.::  'out of sight, out of mind.'
Host First Officer Durm says:
<All % belong to Harlan>
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
<delete my last>
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: I unedstand. Many people don't accept other people's beliefs. Can you explain to me your religion as you see it?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Looks up at the chime:: XO: One second.
Host First Officer Durm says:
% <Harlan> COMM: CO: I need you elsewhere.  Which means you would need to temporarily need to leave the ship in his command for an unknown amount of time.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
<understand>
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Hands just inches from the chime, he looks up, wondering what the delay is. After all, surely the TR Chief informed the captain of his arrival.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: closes her eyes and quotes:: CSO: We are to live in harmony with the land.  It is not to be mistreated.  Technology is only needed to help, not command or control.
SO Lt Rose says:
<last is <Qui´a>>
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Looks concerned:: COM: Harlan: Elsewhere?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
*XO*: Can you escort our guest to the Observation Lounge and then join me in here.
Host First Officer Durm says:
% <Harlan> COMM: CO: Your new orders will be coming in soon, scrambled.  You are not to discuss them with anyone... that includes your first officer.  What you tell him about your leaving is up to you.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::wonders what these people are and where they came from::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*CO*: Yes sir... ::Turns to Durm:: Durm: Seems there's a change of plans.... Follow me please... ::Turns around and walks the ten meters to the observation lounge entrance and walks in, indicating a seat near the window:: Durm: Please, take a seat..
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: It is a very honorable idea to follow. I do not understand why you are not welcome in your planet
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Nods:: COM: Harlan: I understand.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::taps her badge again::*CTO*: Tulpen to Trigger
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Lieutenant.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
<@>
Host First Officer Durm says:
% <Harlan> COMM: CO: My special transport is on its way...  it should be there within half an hour.  That should be enough time for you to get your things in order.  I will see you... soon enough.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@*CTO*: I spoke to one of the colonist girls. I know now they were expelled from their planet for religious reasons. I think I found just about anything I could from here. Can you think of anything else?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Nods:: COM: Harlan: I will be ready for it.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> CSO: They like technology... dad says bigger and faster is not important.  It is simply doing.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Do we know anything about where they're supposed to be going?
Host First Officer Durm says:
% <Harlan> :: With a nod of her head, reaches over to send the orders.  The with a slight bow to Sid, closes the channel.::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::nods at the girl:: *CTO*: The grown ups were not very cooperative but I found a girl who is. I'll see what I can find on that
SO Lt Rose says:
<Sa'tola> Qui´a: There you are my girl.  I have been looking for you!
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Qui'a: Tell me one more thing we need to know to take you to your new home. did your father ever told you where this new home was? Why he had chosen it?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Gets the orders transfers it to a padd:: *XO*: Commander, a word in the ready room?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::steps over to tac 1, notices on the internal sensors that the XO and a Hagot are in the observation lounge and stations 2 security guards outside it::
Host First Officer Durm says:
:: Patiently waits for the XO's return, looking around.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*CO*: I thought you were going to meet us in the observation lounge..
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Stands up from his desk:: *XO*: Commander a word in private in my ready room.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Sa'tola> CSO: The agreement was made with our government.  They set things up.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a> :: Takes her fathers hand.::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::nods::*CTO*: No luck. I think my little new friend would love to visit the Nighthawk but I doubt Captain Monroe would approve
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*CO*: Yes sir... :Turns to Durm once more:: Durm: Excuse me, one moment... ::Heads out of the room and towards the ready room, pressing the chime upon arrival::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged, I'll be waiting.
Host First Officer Durm says:
:: Place after XO leaves::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Reads over the new orders:: XO: Come
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
<move my last befoe CSO please>
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Enters the ready room:: CO: Captain..
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: I'll see what can be done Lieutenant, but it seems we have the Hagot first officer with us already.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Looks up from the padd:: XO: Commander I have been recalled by the Admiral on an urgent matter.  Computer: Transfer Command Codes to Commander Jackson Authorization Monroe Alpha 4 3 Beta Tango.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@*CTO*: That can wait. My work here is done. Give me 5 minutes then beam me back to the ship please
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Looks at the captain, a bit amazed at what he is hearing::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: The Nighthawk is yours until I return.  ::Walks up to him:: Don't put a scratch on her.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.
SO Lt Rose says:
*CTO*: This mineral is interesting... it has sort of a cloaking property to it.  It would probably be ideal if you wanted to conseal something.  It is too dense to be used for a ship.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CO: No captain... Do you know the extent of this period?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: This is not known until I know more.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::kneels down::Qui'a: I have to go now but we will be back. Thank you very much for this conversation
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Qui´a>:: Looks at the womans face and her nice eyes and nods::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CO: I will be informed once more information is available?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*SO*: Makes me wonder what they could be consealing on that vessel... Good work,... Lieutenant Tulpen will be back shortly.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@::looks up:: Sa'Tola: So you think they may have set you up?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Yes you will be informed on how long it will be.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CO: Alright then... Anything else I should know?
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Slides the padd under his arm:: XO: Nope nothing else, except no joyriding on the Chameleon.  ::Smiles::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Sa'tola> :: Seriously considers::  CSO: I know they do not like our simple ways... but... :: shakes his head::  I do not know why.  I do not know why they wanted us to move again.  It was not as if there was any importance to the land they placed us on... it was nothing... hard to grow crops on... :: shrugs::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::has the transporter chief establish an open lock on the CSO read to transprot when the word is given::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes sir.. Well, I still have our guest in the observation lounge... May I ask what you wanted to ask him?
First Officer Durm is now known as NightWind.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Ask him where he was going to take them.  And see if you can help him find a solution to this.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Sa'Tola: Often religious war are difficult to understand. maybe they thought you would spread your beliefs to others. People are confortable with technology and don't want to loose it
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods:: CO: I was trying that.. ::Smiles::
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Taps his commbadge:: *Yeoman Pillow*: Yeoman, please have my daughter ready to leave in 10 minutes.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ <Sa'tola> :: snorts::  CSO: They put us in the middle of the :: curse:: nowhere!  We were doing no harm.  We even pulled all of our people back so our :: curse:: beliefs did not influence others!
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Taps Jackson's shoulder:: XO: You will do fine.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Smiles:: CO: I have done so before.. No worries captain, your ship will still be here when you get back.. As a manner of speaking, anyway..
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CSO*: Ready to energise on your signal Lieutenant.
Host CO Capt Monroe says:
::Smiles and walks out of the ready room and slides into the bridge takes one last look then heads onto the TL to his quarters::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@Sa'Tola: I understand. We will do our best to help you. You will have no religious descrimination in the Federation. I have to go now. But we will be back
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
@*CTO*: Energize
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::gives the order to the chief::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION: The CSO finds herself back on the ship along with any other folks from the Nighthawk.
