U.S.S. Pendragon
10109.22

Guest stars:
JohnG as Colonist_Kane.
Lemur-Cat as Ka-Klik.
Marci as Andzi.

Host Janet says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon has come safely through the wormhole, though many of the crew were touched by a visit from the Prophets, something unheard of.  They have been asked by the Prophets to go on a quest – to rescue the Pendragon's previous captain who was presumed lost.  What the crew will do is unknown.

They have reached the system the colonists intend to colonize.  The second planet from the sun can support life.  It is 1/3rd land mass, 2/3rds water.  The only part of the planet that is habitable is the Northern continent, following along a large mountain range.  The vegetation there is very thick, thinning out as it fans outward.

There are many streams of fresh water running through the dense growth, vanishing into the oceans.

SO: ::Stress is heard in his voice:: Predators? that was not in the planetary survey! ::places his hands on his waist::

Host CO_Zax says:
::turns around and glances at the colonist with a slight frown::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  The ship smoothly enters orbit around the planet.

CTO_Kyrron says:
Colonist:  I concur with the SO's suggestion.  Much safer nearer the beach.

Colonist:  Certainly, if the Captain okays it.

Host CO_Zax says:
::lifts a brow:: SO: Understood, Ensign...but the rest of his party is not.

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: Cargo bay...

Host Janet says:
::Steps off the TL and onto the bridge, only to pause.::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::looks at Janet then the TO, eyebrow raised::  TO:  Really?

Colonist_Kane says:
SO: What else can your sensors tell us, which was not in the planetary survey? ::Feels like he had just been sold the Brooklyn Bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
::glances at the TL and visibly gnashes her teeth::

TO_McCloud says:
::looks at Janet:: CTO: Uhh... stupid computer

FCO_Rofax says:
*PEN* Your attention please.  Standard orbit achieved.  All colonists check their personal belongings and report to the cargo bay.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::continues to monitor for any kind of multiphasic activity::

CTO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Perhaps you could escort Janet to the cargo bay?

Host Janet says:
::Looks over at the captain sheepishly, the slowly slides over to her uncle::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: begins the transfer if the files to the port selected by the CTO::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Look for a suitable beam down point.

Host CO_Zax says:
::motions the CTO to her side::

TO_McCloud says:
Self: Unfair.. hate.. why.. CTO: whatever...

SO_M`Tor says:
Colonist: It is difficult to be more precise Sir from orbit... CO: Captain permission to send a few sensor probes to give a more detailed scan of the planet ?

CTO_Kyrron says:
::sidles over to the CO after glaring a bit at McCloud::

OPS_Scully says:
::operates sensors, looking for beam down point::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: SO: Of course.

OPS: Send your coordinates to the SO for confirmation.

OPS_Scully says:
::sends data to M'Tor's station:: What do you think, M'Tor?

Host Janet says:
::Eyes open wide::  Colonist:  Really?  My father?  OK... I guess I can try there.  ::Looks over at the FCO, then turns to leave.::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: hears the Captain's order and cross-references it with the data he is receiving from the probes ::

OPS_Scully says:
M'Tor: seems to be a forested area, signs of small animals

CTO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Shall I prepare an advance tactical squad to check out the beam down area?

TO_McCloud says:
::looks down ... then walks to Janet:: Janet: Ma'am, I'm escorting you to the cargo bay, let's go now. ::walks on to the TL::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: turns to Sully :: OPS: I agree. It seems like an adequate landing area.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::wonders if McCloud is ever going to do what he is supposed to do::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Please do. I'd advise that you take the colony leader, the SO, EO, and TO with you as well.

OPS_Scully says:
M'Tor: Mind if I look at your probe data?

Host Janet says:
::Looks at the TO as she steps into the turbolift::  TO:  That is OK.  I need to go check sickbay for my father.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::nods::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: And Commander?

CTO_Kyrron says:
EO/TO/SO:  We are going down.  Fully arm yourselves and present in transporter room 1

Colonist_Kane says:
CO: Captain, thank you for your hospitality, I will leave you now and prepare for beam down, Could I trouble you for a detachment of Tactical Officers accompany us until we set up the defensive perimeter?

TL:  Transporter room 1

Colonist_Kane says:
::enters the TL with the SO:

Jathan_Mol says:
::steps onto the lift, ahead of the crewman who had been waiting for it, calling for the transporter room::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: does a diagnostic on his tricorder while the TL descends ::

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Nothing at the present, Captain.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::exits TL and heads down a corridor towards the transporter room::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::checks her equipment and finds it all functioning properly::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: All clear, Captain.  No activity in the area.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: OPS: Keep an open COMM. We don't want any surprises.

Colonist_Kane says:
*Jathan*: This is Kane, we are heading for the transporter room, is everyone ready?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: FCO: The same.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::stops off at the Armory and grabs a phaser rifle on her way to TR1::

::enters transporter room 1 and hopes everyone is following along::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::arrives at the Transporter Room::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Prepare to beam down the advanced team.

Jathan_Mol says:
*Kane* They should be.  I am on my way to the transporter room.  I want to be part of the first party.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::Opens a weapons locker and passes out the big guns::

Colonist_Kane says:
CTO: I concur, Just asking if they were ready

::looks down and runs right into a door, falls back unconscious::

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Aye.  Transporter ready, at your discretion.

Colonist_Kane says:
*Jathan*: We will not be on the first phase, Tactical will be going to the planet and the site we chose to ensure our security

EO_Pettigrove says:
::hops up on the platform::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: steps up on the pad and readies his tricorder to begin recording ::

CTO_Kyrron says:
*CMO*:Medical emergency.  McCloud has walked into a door again, and is unconscious.  ::rolls eyes::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Signal when ready.

Jathan_Mol says:
*Kane* There is no need for 'tactical' to go ahead of us.  This planet is ours.  I will be going first.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::steps onto transporter pad::

Jathan_Mol says:
::exits the lift and walks the few doors down to the transporter room::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, I am detecting an odd energy source emanating from the ocean.... attempting to isolate.

Colonist_Kane says:
*Jathan*: Perhaps you didn’t hear me? You wont be allowed to get on the pad I think ::looks at the CTO::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: gets a very strange face and shakes his head:: *CTO*:  Understood, on my way.  :: picks up his kit and heads towards the TL::

FCO_Rofax says:
::begins honing in on the energy source::

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: FCO: Odd? In what way?

Jathan_Mol says:
::looks at his brother, then steps up on the pad next to the alien woman::

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO/Kane: It's my right.  I will be going.

Host CO_Zax says:
::turns quickly to OPS::

CTO_Kyrron says:
Jathan:  For your safety, Sir, please stay until we have secured the area.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Hold transport.

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Aye.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at Mol with curiosity ::

Colonist_Kane says:
::puts his hand on Jathan's shoulder::

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO: This is our planet.  You can't tell us what to do.  I am going.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: A slight problem, Tria. We'll be delaying for a moment.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at the CTO and almost sighs ::

CTO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  Understood.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO:  What's going on?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Source?

Jathan_Mol says:
::shakes his brother's hand off::  Kane: I was chosen the leader of this mission.  Remember your place.

CTO_Kyrron says:
EO:  I'm not sure.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: shakes his head at the 2 arguing ::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, I can only describe it as a form of "life energy."  Very strong however....

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO: What sort of problem?

CTO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*:  Can you fill us in on the reason for the delay?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks stunned:: FCO: Sentient?

OPS_Scully says:
CO: What do want me to tell her?

Colonist_Kane says:
CTO: Forgive my brother, he is quite headstrong

CTO_Kyrron says:
Kane/Jathan:  Not a problem.  I am trying to find out why we are waiting.

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: Don’t be foolish, we are guests here, until we step onto the planet, it is not yet ours.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: is tempted to just pound some sense in Jathan but keeps his place ::

OPS_Scully says:
*CTO* Stand by.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: exits the TL and heads into the TR:: TO:  Well well, not watching where we were going again?? :: gets a dose of cordrazine and wakes the TO up with it::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::stands on the platform, waiting for the OK to beam down::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::shrugs and smiles at everyone while adjusting her phaser rifle::

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: Have the AT assemble in the Atrium for a quick briefing. Ask M'Tor to access the records at once.

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: It does not appear so Captain...  I may be able to determine however, using unconventional methods...

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Would it endanger you, Lt?

Ka-Klik says:
#::happily jumps into the air and does a back flip::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: Vertra ana comastop?

Jathan_Mol says:
::closes his eyes and shakes his head at his brother's naivety, thinking, "This is why you will never rise further than my assistant, dear brother.":: CTO: Find out quickly.  I want to get started soon.

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: There is only one way to tell, Captain...

OPS_Scully says:
*CTO* Please have your team assemble in the Atrium for a briefing.

CTO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*  Understood.

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Zoik!  Klick ekko.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: FCO: Be careful.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: raises his head and steps off the platform :: CTO: Atrium ?

CTO_Kyrron says:
Jathan/Kane/SO/EO:  We have been summoned to the Atrium for a briefing.  Follow me.  ::gets off transporter pad and heads down the corridor yet again.

FCO_Rofax says:
::nods::  CO: Aye Captain....

Andzi says:
#::makes a noise that sounds like a high-pitched squeaky giggle::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::sighs and steps down from the platform and follows the others::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Please report to the Atrium and fill in our guests.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: begins to help the TO back to his feet:: TO:  Next time watch were you are going.

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: It is what I expected you to say, next you'll be bringing up that we had different mothers, mine being Terran ::smirks, then rethinks of being on the same planet with his brother::

Ka-Klik says:
#::goes in circles around Andzi::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: Narta!!! ::flaps her tail at Ka-Klik::

Host CO_Zax says:
::adds:: OPS: Have the CTO report in every five minutes.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::trying to remember where the heck the Atrium is as she walks yet again through the ship::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~  ::attempts to determine if the oceanic life force is sentient::  ~~~

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Aye. :: calls replacement to the bridge and leaves for the Atrium.

Jathan_Mol says:

::holds his head:: CMO: yea yea...

Ka-Klik says:
#::has a strange sensation that someone is trying to communicate with her::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::exits the TL and heads toward the Atrium::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: follows quickly the group to the Atrium ::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Yotan pola frut irras!! ::attempts to nip Ka's tail::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::enters Atrium and takes a deep breath of the sweetly scented air.  Nods at OPS::

Host CO_Zax says:
::worriedly watches the FCO::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::follows the others into the Atrium and takes a seat on a rock::

TO_McCloud says:
::slowly walks to the TL.. stumbling a bit::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Zork!  ::was distracted by that weird sensation; moves quickly away from Andzi::  Squeak glork narf!

Colonist_Kane says:
::Following the group to the Atrium, thinking, and rethinking of staying aboard the ship, Brothers?::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, I am not for certain, but there is something there...  it is very faint to me, but I am noticing something...  ~~~ ::furrows brow as he digs deeper:: ~~~
CTO_Kyrron says:
::while she is waiting, notifies four more TOs to meet them in the transporter room::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Keio! ::felt that also::

CTO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  So, what's up?

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Nan darou kashira glork?

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~::breaks his link::~~~  CO: Captain, I cannot determine what it is, but there is something suggesting a semi-sentient being.  The one thing I am sure of is, is it not on the Pendragon.  ::beads of sweat can be noticed on his forehead::

OPS_Scully says:
CTO: The FCO has detected an odd energy source emanating from the ocean.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Ploya, darou glork ramplasone. ::feels the sensation dissipate::

OPS_Scully says:
CTO: Rofax believes it to be a sentient life form.

CTO_Kyrron says:
OPS: I see.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::turns to Kane and Jathan::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: frowns ::

CTO_Kyrron says:
Kane/Jathan:  It seems this planet may already be inhabited.  Your thoughts?

SO_M`Tor says:
:: moves to a nearby terminal and accesses the sensor data ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the SO::  SO:  Why didn't planetary surveys pick up these life forms?

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Saa, rample norg ka.  ::frolics around::

FCO_Rofax says:
::returns to continuous LR and SR scans, hoping to turn up something more, now that he knows what to look for::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods tightly::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Do you need a break?

OPS_Scully says:
SO: Can you raise them? Any way to communicate with the life form?

Colonist_Kane says:
CTO: ::Sarcastic:: I'm only the assistant, Brother? what is your recommendation?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: We have determined it to be sentient. Proceed with caution.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Poom!!!! Ka toora eret meer!!! ::chases Ka::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::wonders if there is such a thing as a "functional" family::

FCO_Rofax says:

::console beeps at him::

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO: This is our world. ::eyeing his brother:: We will be colonizing.

Host CO_Zax says:
::tilts her head consideringly::

SO_M`Tor says:
OPS: I do not think so... There are aquatic... I am not detecting any way for them to communicate with us.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CMO: Report to the bridge, please.

OPS_Scully says:
CTO: Captain Zax has asked you to report in every five minutes.  Please take all due caution.  *smiles* Not your usual heroic self, please?

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: I'm seriously considering being doubtful here, we should be cautious

CTO_Kyrron says:
Jathan:  It is not "your world", sir.  You will be invading someone else's world.  Are you prepared for that?

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: ::in a melodic tone:: Ouy nact chita roo!

CTO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Heroic self?  me?

CMO_Daetalus says:
*CO*:  Is there an emergency? :: stands and is going to grab his kit if necessary::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain... I have isolated a great number of oceanic life forms.  Numerous species and genus...

OPS_Scully says:
*smiles* I know we have an expert medic aboard, but....

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO: You haven't even determined that it is intelligent life.  Show me proof of that and I will 'consider' finding another world.

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Suugaku?? Taikut suto muzu kashiii!

Host CO_Zax says:
*CMO*: Just a check.

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: Reconsider,.... Please?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Cross reference for speciation.

CTO_Kyrron says:
Jathan:  perhaps we should go down and meet them first?

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Vetopi jurty dol ceroa!!! ::flips into the air::

FCO_Rofax says:
::fingers flying across the key pads::  CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: What is the hold up, Commander?

OPS_Scully says:
*whispers to Tria* I really think it would be safer if you went without the colonists, don't you?

SO_M`Tor says:
:: shakes head and attempts to narrow the sensors to the oceans ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  Excuse me, Sir, but is that wise?  We don't even know what these life forms are, or if they are harmful.

CMO_Daetalus says:
*CO*: Aye sir, I will be right there :: leaves sickbay to the TL::  TL:  Bridge

CTO_Kyrron says:
EO:  Only one way to find out.

FCO_Rofax says:
::retrieves everything known about Deltan marine species::

Ka-Klik says:
#::stops and flips even higher into the air::  Andzi: Spork naran!

Jathan_Mol says:
Kane: ::raises his hand to silence him:: We have planned on colonizing this world for the past year, getting the money and supplies needed.  You would have us make it here just to turn around?  Have faith in the prophets brother.  If they hadn't meant us to be here, they would have made their will known sooner.

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: What, were going to say 'Hi' we are moving on your land? Remember you history Brother, the American Indians, and the colonists

CTO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  You think that's going to happen?

CTO_Kyrron says:
::gestures to the SO and EO to follow her.  Leaves the Atrium::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Nac oot!!!! ::flips and lands on top of Ka::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: arrives on the bridge and moves towards the CO:: CO:  Captain?

EO_Pettigrove says:
::follows the CTO::

SO_M`Tor says:
:: follows the CTO ::

Jathan_Mol says:
CTO: What proof of habitation do you have?  Our scans of this world previously showed none.

OPS_Scully says:
CTO: I just think you'd have better control of the situation without civilians present, don't you? *looks concerned*

TO_McCloud says:
::falls into the TL::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::enters TL::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::enters TL::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Gak!  Naccita nork zark!

Host CO_Zax says:

Host Janet says:
::A light catches her eyes and she stirs turning to see light coming from under the closet door.::

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: The Prophets? The Prophets? You are kidding? And by the grace of the Prophets go I ::points to his brother::

CTO_Kyrron says:
TL:  Transporter room 1.  ::doors close just as the SO gets in::

Andzi says:
#::giggle-squeaks::

Ka-Klik says:
#::leaps into the air and does a twisting maneuver::
SO_M`Tor says:
:: looks to Kyrron as he enters:: CTO: They will cause trouble ... I am certain of it.

CTO_Kyrron says:
::exits TL gesturing for the EO and SO to follow her, quickly!::

CTO_Kyrron says:
::sprints to the Transporter room::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, aside from some basic biological differences to account for the atmosphere... the sampling of marine life is quite comparable to that of Earth...  a majority of the species are already in the database...

Andzi says:
#::swims on top of the water using only her tail fin::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::quickens her pace to keep up with the CTO::

SO_M`Tor says:

Ka-Klik says:
#::does a series of quick little jumps::  Andzi: Zork neep!

CTO_Kyrron says:
::enters TR and gets on pad.  nods at the security team waiting::

Jathan_Mol says:
Kane:  ::takes a calming breath::  Perhaps you should go to your room brother, and wait for me to tell you when you can come to the surface.

SO_M`Tor says:
:: steps on the TR pad ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::gets on the transporter pad::

CTO_Kyrron says:
transporter chief:  Energize.

FCO_Rofax says:
CMO: It is nothing Doctor.  Just a laborious telepathic link to something on the surface....  thank you for asking though....

Host Janet says:
::Gets up and moves to the door, opening it.::

TO_McCloud says:
::arrives on the planet::

Host Janet says:
<TC>  CTO:  Aye ma'am.

Colonist_Kane says:
Jathan: Perhaps I will go to my quarters, and forget me coming to the surface, I think the Prophets are telling me to find my own destiny, not yours!! ::Stomps out to the corridor and out to his quarters::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Ki.....ki....frok etop!!! ::spins around in the air elegantly::

Jathan_Mol says:
::looks around and notices that the big woman has taken his distraction as a chance to leave, and frowns::  Kane:  Go to your room brother.  I must go speak with the 'captain'.  ::turns to leave::

OPS_Scully says:
::Transporter chief energizes  AT::

SO_M`Tor says:
@ :: materializes on the planet's surface and activates his tricorder to begin scanning ::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: is sensing something strange, but cant  pinpoint:: FCO:  Let me be sure.  :: he takes the probe out of the tricorder and begins scanning the FCO::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  The AT is beamed down to the planet.  They find themselves on a lovely pristine beach.

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::materializes on the surface ... opens her tricorder and begins scanning::

CTO_Kyrron says:

SO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks around the area and continues his scans ::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COM:  Pendragon:  We are on the surface.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Koon ta ron....blope enta?

CNS_Pel says:
::bumps into the colonist... Kane, he thought, as he walks in front of the atrium doors::  Kane: Excuse me sir.  ::raises a hand to the man's shoulder and is staggered by the frustration and anger within him::

CMO_Daetalus says:
::is picking up a strange energy signature emanating from the midsection of the FCO:: FCO:  Are you sure nothing is wrong?

Host CO_Zax says:
COMM:Planet: Understood. And the colonists?

OPS_Scully says:
::returns to bridge and relieves OPS officer::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  Gentle waves lap up the beach.  Off in the distance, dolphin shaped life forms can be seen sporting in the water along with other fish 'playing' around.

Andzi says:
#::jumps above water to inspect her suspicious feeling::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks into the water and sees the animals::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Eh... to... danga kak koi?

FCO_Rofax says:
CMO: Just some mild fatigue Doctor.  I assure you I will recover.

Jathan_Mol says:
::turns and moves to leave the atrium, the doors opposite that which his brother left::

SO_M`Tor says:
@:: looks out to the water and begins a detailed scans of the aquatic life form ::

CMO_Daetalus says:

CMO_Daetalus says:

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Maintaining lock

CTO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Pendragon:  We see some aquatic life forms frolicking.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Koo!!! Koo!!!! ::points her snout in the direction of the land-dwelling beings::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks surprised::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::waves at the fishy things::

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::continues to scan::  CTO:  Sir, my scans are picking up vegetation, birds, insect life and some land creatures::

CNS_Pel says:
::tries to shake off the emotional imprint::  Kane:  ::points behind him::  The lift is that way.  I believe you were on deck 15.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@EO:  Good work.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: sees the scanner picking something up:: FCO:  Lt, what do you have around your neck?

Host Janet says:
::Opens the doors the closet doors and bends down in surprise::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: At chitte... ::positions herself to look in that direction above the surface::

TO_McCloud says:
@::moves to the water::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@SO:  What do you make of those.  ::points towards the water::

SO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks to the CTO and to the aquatic life forms :: CTO: Are you in contact with the life forms Commander ?

Jathan_Mol says:
::gets in a lift and calls for the bridge::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@SO:  Not I.  TO:  Can you sense anything from them.

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::turns and sees the life forms in the water for the first time::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  A wave soaks the TO.

Host CO_Zax says:
~~~~CMO: Coming from him?~~~~

Colonist_Kane says:
CNS: ::looks down the corridor:: Ah, thank you, you’re most kind :: his face returns to his rage that he has for his brother, stomps off down the corridor::

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Picking up what could be intelligent communication.

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: I'll try

FCO_Rofax says:
::removes the pendant::  CMO: This?

Andzi says:
#::swims slowly towards the land-dwellers::

TO_McCloud says:
@~~~~ Beings: Hello? ~~~~

EO_Pettigrove says:
@All:  Is it just me or are they getting closer?

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~CO:  It appears to be on something around his neck~~~~

SO_M`Tor says:
@ CTO: Sense... no Commander.... I was told that my telepathic abilities were null at the Academy.

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Mini iki mashoka?  Ah.  ::follows after Andzi::

TO_McCloud says:
::moves toward Andzi::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@SO:  Can you adjust our translators to make sense of their language?

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: is shocked:: FCO:   Where did u get that?

Host CO_Zax says:
::turns quickly:: OPS: Source?

OPS_Scully says:
::checks aquatic communication data in computer::

Andzi says:
#::senses something:: ::thinks:: Olca remeva barda!!

Host CO_Zax says:
~~~~CMO: Clarify!~~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@TO:  stand back from the water!

SO_M`Tor says:
@ CTO: I shall attempt to do so... :: begins adjustments ::

CNS_Pel says:
::Again, without touching him, he is hit with waves of the man's anger, which lessens as distance increases, and he gives consideration to following him to see what may be wrong, but remembers that he was heading back to the bridge, and turns to do just that::

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Something akin to whale song, it seems.

CMO_Daetalus says:
FCO:  May I see it?

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: These are friendly..

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: OPS: A whale song?

Host Janet says:
::The door of the orb opens further as she stares, mesmerized into it.::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Orkat te?

Jathan_Mol says:
::exits onto the bridge, looking for the female captain:: CO: Captain, I must speak with you.

OPS_Scully says:
CO: A form of communication between whales

Colonist_Kane says:
::Finally locates his quarters, and enters::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COM: Pendragon:  The TO reports he has telepathically determined the life forms are friendly.

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~CO:  The energy is emanating from a pendent around his neck~~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks surprised and then resigned::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  The SO picks up a few words...

FCO_Rofax says:
CMO: Gilthanas left it on my desk....  My son spotted her leaving my quarters as we were exiting the wormhole.  I picked it up and felt compelled to put it on....  ::holds it up so Daet can get a closer look::

Host CO_Zax says:
MOL: I thought you transported down?

TO_McCloud says:
@ CTO: They're rather smart as far as I can tell...

OPS_Scully says:
CO: These are aquatic life forms, they may be able to communicate with each other as Earth's whales.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klick: Toa froimp le....::is not sure if the land-dwellers are friendly, but senses that they are::

SO_M`Tor says:
@ :: blinks as his tricorder begins a few words ::

Host CO_Zax says:

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COM:  Pendragon:  The TO reports they are also intelligent.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: takes it from him and begins scanning it, then turns to the CO and shows it to her::

CNS_Pel says:
::gets to the lift, and then reconsiders his decision. Really, the Captain would want to be aware of anyone with that much rage.  Someone in that state could easily be capable of murder.  Entering the lift he calls for deck 15.::

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::hears and configures her own tricorder to double the effort::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Githanas? And did it not occur to you that you should report this?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at it closely::

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Cho toe kowa ikdo...

Jathan_Mol says:
CO: ::frowns openly::  The woman, she beamed down already?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::waits for the technical types to figure out what the creatures are saying::

Host Janet says:
ACTION: In the hands of the CMO it feels like ice, his arm growing numb.

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: Keyra ona.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: I was planning to Captain... after the colonists were settled.  

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: drops it into the FCO's lap:: Aahhhhh

FCO_Rofax says:
CMO: Doctor?

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: then grabs his arm::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Site to site transport immediately. Mol and Kane. TR1 and then to Tria. Energize on my mark!

OPS_Scully says:
::readies transport::

Host CO_Zax says:
::stands up and looks at the doctor in horror::

SO_M`Tor says:
@ :: adjusts the trifocal phase emitter to get a better grasp  on the language ::

OPS_Scully says:

Jathan_Mol says:
::skin flushes a bit as his anger is ignited::  CO:  I insist upon being beamed... ::is muted as the transporter beam takes hold::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: Are toyi friendly ork?

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Really ikkle lork that way?  I glorble zeep.

CNS_Pel says:
::Presses the door signal on Kane's quarters and waits for an answer::

Host Janet says:
ACTION: Kane and Mol find themselves on the planet.

EO_Pettigrove says:
@SO:  Did you hear that?  I distinctly heard words ...

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::sees Kane and Jathan materialize.  Walks over to them::

CMO_Daetalus says:

Host CO_Zax says:

Jathan_Mol says:
@::shakes head as the confinement beam let's him go::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Kane/Jathan:  We are attempting to communicate with the life forms.  ::gestures toward the water::

OPS_Scully says:
CO: Our translator algorithms are making sense of a few of the words.

Host CO_Zax says:
::turns her attention to the FCO and CMO::

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: I sense orti.

SO_M`Tor says:
@ EO: I did... I am attempting to adjust the translator :: sees the 2 colonists arrive ::

Host CO_Zax says:

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: Ittai dare where bobunk?  Never mita koto.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: is beginning to get feeling back:: Self:  WOW

Colonist_Kane says:
*OPS*: This is Sirnok Kane, I wish to speak with the Captain when she has time, I wish to remain aboard and be dropped at the next starbase of Federation planet if that is possible?

Jathan_Mol says:
@CTO: What life forms?  ::looks at the water, only partially interested::

FCO_Rofax says:
::picks the Pendant up and clenches his hand around it::  CMO: It is a simple pendant....  I am unsure of its meaning, but I cannot part with it Doctor....

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COM:  Pendragon:  Thanks for sending these guys.  I must have forgotten them.  Oops.

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::makes adjustments to her own tricorder::

OPS_Scully says:

@Jathan:  There are intelligent life forms here.

@::winks at M'Tor::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: continues:: Don’t let anyone else hold it either.

EO_Pettigrove says:
@::laughs::

Host Janet says:
ACTION:  Bit by bit, the translator sorts out words until the crew can understand most of what is being said.

FCO_Rofax says:
::re-fastens the Pendant around his neck::  CMO: Understood Doctor.  ::holds it in his hand, amazed::

CMO_Daetalus says:

Host CO_Zax says:

Colonist_Kane says:
<Computer>: Colonist Kane is located in his quarters, Deck 15

OPS_Scully says:
*Kane* Request denied.  Have patience, please.

Jathan_Mol says:
@CTO:  ::gives the woman a patronizing look::  I am sure you think so.  You Starfleet types seem to think anything that moves is sentient.  But our scans showed no evidence of intelligent life.  This is our planet now, and we intend to colonize it.

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: I wonder where norgle frag?

Andzi says:
#Ka-Klik: I miragh. Do smufle hyo sense otih?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Jathan:  It is not "your planet".  If you stay it will be at the grace of these beings.

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::continues holding it and turning it to take in its splendor::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Inform the CTO that should she have another such memory lapse that perhaps we can "forget" to retrieve her at the end of the mission.

SO_M`Tor says:

Ka-Klik says:
#Andzi: I don't grapple zap but I think freepinate.

@::chuckles at the comm::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CNS*: Pel to the bridge, please.

Jathan_Mol says:

CMO_Daetalus says:

SO_M`Tor says:
@ Mol: Our translation algorithm is now working... Listen for yourself...   Sir...

EO_Pettigrove says:
@CTO:  They seem to have already asked if we are friendly ... isn't that a sign of intelligence?  They're asking questions.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Jathan:  If you will be patient, we are trying to open a dialogue.

CNS_Pel says:
::frowns slightly, unsatisfied:: *CO* Yes, Captain.  I am on my way.  ::turns for a lift::
