OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sitting at her station on the bridge::

XO_Rofax says:
::in his quarters, putting the finishing touches on his dress whites before heading to the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sitting quietly in the center chair, listening and trying to drive her headache away by willpower alone::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sitting in the lounge frustrated at the lack of booze::

CSO_Toms says:
::going over sensor logs, checking for any anomalies::

CNS_Luchena says:
::plops himself down beside Shiar::  CMO:  I can't believe it.  What is she thinking?

FCO_Jokeg says:
::walks into the lounge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I'm receiving a Priority One Encrypted message for you.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees the FCO enter and waves him over::

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>::checks the course for the 10th time in 30 seconds::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks up:: OPS: Put it in the Ready Room. You have the bridge. ::heads to the RR::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I know... I’m now forced to drink limeade in the hope that the colour may get my mind doing something

XO_Rofax says:
::exits his quarters and enters the TL::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::comes and sits next with Luchena and Shiar::I would give my bat`leth up for ONE glass of wirewine!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::patches the message through to the Ready Room:: CO:  Patched through, Captain.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moves to the center chair::

CSO_Toms says:
::rubs his eyes.... 4 hours of staring at a screen with weird numbers on it just does no good::

Host Cat says:
Action: An older looking Admiral appears on screen. He seems a bit tense.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the RR and sits at the desk, then opens the comm::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  What's this supposed to accomplish?  So far it's damaging morale.  ::sulks a bit::

Host Cat says:
<change order, please>

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO:  Forgive me Commander for not welcoming you aboard sooner.  It will be a pleasure serving with you again.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Admiral: Admiral Armstrong, this is unexpected.

Host Cat says:
COMM:Pendragon: Captain O'Dunn, good to see you again.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I’m guessing it's to keep us sober for the interrogations   :: gulps down the limeade::

XO_Rofax says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge and takes an open console, thumbing through the data elements from the debacle::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Armstrong: Likewise, but surely this isn't a social call.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::nods::CNS: It has been a long time Councilor, I trust things are going well with you?

CNS_Luchena says:
::rolls his eyes::  CMO:  We wouldn't get drunk for an inquiry.  We have more loyalty to Jordan than that.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the FCO and chuckles::  FCO:  Well, its been... interesting.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
COMM:Pendragon: I'll cut to the chase, Kerina. You are to head to the following coordinates to rendezvous with my ship. What we have to discuss cannot be discussed over the COMM>

FCO_Jokeg says:
::a bit embarrassed::CNS: Councilor...when we have time...there is something I need to discuss with you...

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
::looks to his left:: COMM:Pendragon: My aide is forwarding you the coordinates now.

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: I agree. I wouldn't get elephant's if it may harm Jordan or any other of my friends

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  I'm at your disposal Commander.  Would you like to meet now?

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Status, Cmdr?  ::glances up from the console::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: Armstrong: Of course, Admiral. ::pauses a moment:: You are aware of our impending hearing, of course. And the time restriction on it.

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: If it is possible...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::forwards the coordinates to OPS, with the order::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
COMM:Pendragon: I expect you, at maximum warp, in less than twenty minutes. ::pauses:: The hearing has been taken care of, Captain. Tomfollery anyway.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Does she think we're a bunch of drunks or something?  Anyway, excuse me.  ::stands and nods at Jokeg::

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: go ahead. they probably need me somewhere anyway

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
COMM:Pendragon: Twenty minutes, Captain. Armstrong out.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::gets up::CMO: Doctor...::follows Luchena::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  My office?  It's just one deck up.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::receives the orders and co-ords ... forwards them onto the helm:: FCO:  Input the co-ordinates I have just forwarded and engage at maximum warp.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: nods then finishes off the limeade::

CSO_Toms says:
::logs off his console and heads for the nearest replicator.... looking for a break and a donut::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::shuts down the console and exits the RR, returning to her chair::

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>OPS: Yes ma'am. Adjusting to new course and engaging.::makes the proper adjustments::

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: That will be fine.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters a TL::  Computer:  Deck 7

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::returns to her station::  CO:  New course laid in and engaged, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Maximum warp. OPS: Notify engineering.

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>::engages at maximum warp::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to Pettigrove::

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits the turbolift and walks down the corridor::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sends notification to Engineering that we will be traveling at max warp::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::follows::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: We need to be there in twenty minutes. Push the engines as hard as you have to.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Right in here.  ::enters his office and waits for Jokeg::

CSO_Toms says:
::finds the replicator, asks for a jelly donut and a cup of hot chocolate, then takes a seat nearby::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Engineering have been notified and are ready, Sir.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::enters her office, and begins to pace::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Keep an eye on things. This could be a rough trip.

XO_Rofax says:
::monitors the core and make some minor corrections to the EPS relays, boosting efficiency 3%::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CO:  I'm on it, Captain.

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I have had a vision.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets up and heads for a TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits and motions for Jokeg to do likewise::  FCO:  Describe it to me.

CMO_Shiar says:
TL: bridge

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: After much whining and carrying on, the Pendragon soon approaches the coordinates given to them by Admiral Armstrong.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::doesn't sit::CNS: It was my father...he died while we were stationed on the Luna.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Cut to impulse.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans for the Admiral's ship::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Any ships nearby?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: The Admiral's ship, the USS Regala warps in shortly after.

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>CO: Dropping to impulse.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and looks up at Jokeg::  FCO:  And he came to you in a vision?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Reading one ship, Sir.  the USS Regala.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Hail them.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the very slow TL and onto the bridge::

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I know this is totally improper.

CSO_Toms says:
::after his short break, returns to SCI 1, and gets back to work::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails the Regala::

XO_Rofax says:
::notes the coordinates and fairly positive this is not SB78::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head::  FCO:  Not at all.  Did your father speak to you in the vision?  ::is genuinely curious::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, the Regala has hailed us.  The Admiral has ordered that you beam over.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: Shiar trips on the edge of the tl and bumps his head on the frame.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::sighs, sitting down slowly::CNS: Yes he did...he said I have shamed my House.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Bring us within transporter range.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  In what way?  What did he mean.  ::leans forward in his chair::

CMO_Shiar says:
Self: oww, stupid TL   :: finds an empty chair and sits::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Number one, you have the bridge. Hold station here until I return.

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>CO: Aye sir, closing within transporter range.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: I'm heading to the transporter room. Notify the Regala.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::dashes off into the TL::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:  CO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notifies the Regala that the CO is on her way::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: you doing alright?

CNS_Luchena says:
::waits patiently while Jokeg forms his thoughts::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CMO:  Yeah I think so.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the TR and steps on a pad:: TRChief: Get me to the Regala.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: you got the hang of telepathy yet?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: Captain O'Dunn is transported to the Regala where she is greeted by one of the Admiral's aides and escorted to his meeting room.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::stands::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Actually I think I am losing my telepathy ... I am not hearing the others thoughts anymore although I can sense their presence.

XO_Rofax says:
::crosses to the center chair::  OPS: Status check, all stations.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Admiral.

CSO_Toms says:
::nears the end of the data gathered in the recent mission, and starts to set up some small experiments in the computer system::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::nods:: CO: Captain, please be seated.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*ALL*:  All Departments heads, status check, all stations.  ::sits and waits for the reports to come in::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::sits as ordered::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: I am sorry for all of the subterfuge and secrecy, but you will soon see the necessity for it.

CSO_Toms says:
OPS: Sci is good.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::nods, waiting for the explanation::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: An aide offers Kerina refreshments.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Aide: No, thank you.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: as far as I know med is fine

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::motions the aide to leave::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::clears his throat::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up and goes to the replicator while Jokeg ponders::

XO_Rofax says:
::sends a number of orders to Engineering along with several diagnostics, perhaps overkill, even::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  So far Science and Medical have reported fine.  As far as I can see everything looks good.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::watches the admiral, expressionless::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: Captain, less than twenty-four hours ago, SFC was contacted by the Bolian's with a rather strange tale.....

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: your leg been giving you any trouble sir?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::listens::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: A Bolian scout ship passing through the far outskirts of the Natarean System chanced upon a distress signal. They followed said signal to a planet on the far reaches of the Zatarian Nebula and discovered a thriving colony.

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Good.  Keep a signal lock on the Captain, continual scans of the area.  This meeting is rather unexpected.

CNS_Luchena says:
::orders a coffee.  Takes it back to his seat::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Lock confirmed.  Continuing to scan the area, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
CMO: More than I could care for Doctor, but it is manageable.

XO_Rofax says:
::nods to OPS::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: This colony is made up of 75 colonists, who range in age, with one exception, from birth to 36 years.

CSO_Toms says:
::watching incoming data, looking for something interesting to investigate::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::starts to get another headache::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: next time you're free come by sickbay and I’ll look at it for you

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: After father died, his wishes were that I watch over the House, continue his legacy of a long line of T`Kerg that were Ambassadors. I have no interest in politics.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::as the colony is uncharted and seeming unclaimed, the Bolians sent down an investigating team.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::is busy monitoring sensors and comms::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::gets a "funny feeling" about that one exception::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and listens::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: The team found colonists to be quite happy to see them and quite friendly.

XO_Rofax says:
CMO: Thank you Doctor, I'll be sure to see you when my shift is over.  ::grimaces::

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: Now I feel that my returning to Starfleet may have been in error.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  You have lost your honour for not following your father's wishes?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: They claimed to be the children of a Federation Starship that was locked in a life and death battle with an unseen entity that was destroying the ship. When it became apparent that the ship would indeed be destroyed, the captain made the decision to drop the children off on a class M planet and attempt to lead the entity away.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::pauses and looks at the captain.::

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I am....weary that I have...

XO_Rofax says:
::sits in the center chair, phantom pain throbbing where his lower leg used to be::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: These colonist claim this happened on stardate 12302.25.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::is almost relieved that the shoe finally dropped::

CNS_Luchena says:
::studies Jokeg for a moment::  FCO:  Have I ever told you how valuable your leadership was to my development as an officer?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: That seems highly unlikely.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Maybe your honour lies here in Starfleet.  Maybe that is your correct path.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Nothing on sensors or comms apart from normal traffic, Sir.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::CO: They say they have been on the planet for twenty years, Captain O'Dunn......

FCO_Jokeg says:
::looks at him, taken a bit off guard::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Very good... did the Captain specify how long she would be with the Admiral?

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  We best serve where our strengths lie.  Maybe your place is here.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: And that they are the children of the USS Pendragon, whom they presume was destroyed on that date.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  No, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Did the Bolians date any of the colony structures?

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: do you know what's happening with this inquiry thing?

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I.....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Jokeg curiously::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::doesn't want to think about the inquiry::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: Their scans were able to confirm they have been there for twenty years, Captain.

XO_Rofax says:
CMO: I figured that was where we were headed.  However... it appears to have been re-scheduled.  ::nods to the viewscreen::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Were there any signs of temporal activity?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::pauses:: CO: The colony leader, one Kathleen O'Dunn Luchena seems convinced that they are telling the truth.

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I am glad that I was a help to you and your career. I appreciate your advice. I didn't know how much I had missed your council.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::pauses:: CO: We asked the Bolians to stay out of it. They have agreed.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: We are sending your ship in to investigate....and find out just who these people are.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Admiral: Begging your pardon, but why us? Why not temporal investigations?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::hands the CO a list of names::

XO_Rofax says:
::receives the initial reports from Engineering and Tactical, all systems within norms::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Sir, every officer who serves under you respects you.  There is honour in that.  ::salutes Jokeg::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::stands::CNS: Thank you Councilor...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::takes the list, still waiting for an answer and wondering what the list is::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands and nods at Jokeg::  FCO:  Glad to be of service to you

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::the CO sees the following names, as well as others: Kathleen O'Dunn Luchena, Quinn O'Dunn Luchena, Starla Rofax, Samuel Rofax, Myles Pettigrove Shiar, Lucinda Pettigrove Toms, Moteg, son of Jokeg, Jonathan Edward Hull

FCO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I need to report to the bridge.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Robert John Hull, Mary Elizabeth Hull, Rudolf Anthony Stockburn, Shanarra DeRidder...and others....

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::looks at the CO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Jokeg then sits behind his desk::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: Temporal investigations will meet you there. There has been a delay, I'm afraid.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::makes his way to the TL, feeling much better::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::still looking at the list:: Admiral: This is...interesting.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::finds the notion of a temporal investigations team being delayed intriguing::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits in his chair and thinks over his conversation with Jokeg::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: And Captain.....the last person on that planet........

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Give us the coordinates, then, and we'll be on our way.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::exits the TL, relieving the officer at Flight Control and sitting at his station::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: Is a man who claims to be Andrew Jamin Zax, which seems impossible. He is still listed as missing......

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Respectfully, not much of this at all seems possible.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::sees the ship they are along side of::OPS: We take a detour?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::continues:: CO: And one person died.....::checks his notes::...an Ensign Poppins, whose job it was to care for the children.

CNS_Luchena says:
::minds drifts to the prohibition issue::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::nods::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: She seems to have died of old age.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  Just a small one ... you know as much as I do ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::raises the other eyebrow, for a bit of variety::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::pulls up a chart, checking their position::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::straightens his shoulders:: CO: I'm sure you see the need for secrecy?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: watches the crew work, but watches Jordan slightly more than the rest::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:   We have rendezvoused with an Admiral's ship ... the Captain is there now.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: I understand. What are the limits within my own crew?

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::hands the CO one last PADD, a PADD that shows the genetic matches of the children to their "parents".

CNS_Luchena says:
::resolves to march up to Kerina and demand an explanation next time he sees her::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::takes the PADD::

FCO_Jokeg says:
OPS: I wonder if this has anything to do with the Deppas incident.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  I wish I knew .. ::shudders at the thought::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: Your crew can and should be filled in as to the situation as genetic testing will need to be done further, of course. We need to get to the bottom of this, Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
::figures he'll ask her some pointed personal questions while he's at it::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::stands up:: Armstrong: Understood. We will depart immediately.

XO_Rofax says:
::scans the viewscreen, looking at the vastness in front of them::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::stands:: CO: Good luck, Captain O'Dunn. Godspeed.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Armstrong: Thank you, admiral.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: And captain?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: spins round in chair::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::gives him an inquisitive look::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@CO: The planet....formally known as NZ3214 is now named "Pendragonia" by its inhabitants. ::smiles::

CNS_Luchena says:
::figures that if he actually tries this, O'Dunn is likely to get angry::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::nods::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@COMM Pendragon: One to beam up.

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
@::watches as the CO tries to absorb all of this.::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Beam the Captain aboard.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if she really would though.  She's been so cold emotionally lately::

Host Admiral_Armstrong says:
Action: Kerina is beamed up.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  The Captain is aboard, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels his anxiety level start to creep up::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::dashes out of the transporter pad and heads for the bridge::

XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Good.  Prepare to depart.

CNS_Luchena says:
::gets up from his desk and leaves his office::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::makes preparations for departure ... slaves helm to her console::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the bridge and takes center chair again, entering coordinates into her chair's console::

XO_Rofax says:
ALL: Captain on the Bridge!  ::stands::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Take us to these coordinates, maximum safe speed.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters a TL::  Computer:  Bridge

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Gather the senior staff in the briefing room.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::receives co-ordinates, lays them in and engages at Warp 6:: CO:  Course plotted and engaged, warp 6.

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::activates the Ship wide Comm::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if he'll have the nerve to actually do what he resolved to do::

CNS_Luchena says:
::doubts it::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: thinks that it's a good job Jordan can't read thoughts any more::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::stands up again, heading for the briefing room, assigning a gamma shift lead to the con::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters the bridge::

XO_Rofax says:
*ALL* All Senior Staff Members report to the Briefing Room on the double.  Repeat, all Senior Staff Members report to the Briefing Room on the double.  Rofax out.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::disappears into the briefing room as Mikal enters::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::stands as her replacement arrives and heads for the briefing room::

XO_Rofax says:
::follows Pettigrove into the Briefing Room::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Here Sir.  ::follows to the briefing room::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: heads for the briefing room::

CSO_Toms says:
::logs off and heads to the briefing room::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters and takes a seat::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::takes a seat::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits down::

XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Good to see you Mikal.  How are you doing?

CSO_Toms says:
::sits down::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  All right Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sits down at the head of the table, waiting for everyone to come in::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if Rofax knows about the reasons behind the prohibition::

XO_Rofax says:
::finds a place near the rear, ticking off names as everyone enters::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::preparing some PADDs while waiting::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: twiddling thumbs::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Rofax and opens his thoughts to him::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Hand these out, please. ::gives him the PADDs::

CSO_Toms says:
::looking out the windows at the pretty blackness::

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns his attention to O'Dunn::

XO_Rofax says:
::steps forward and grabs the PADDs::  CO: Aye Captain.  ::passes out the PADDs accordingly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::accepts a PADD::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::takes a PADD::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits a moment for some of the names to sink in::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks at the PADD in disbelief::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares at the PADD::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::begins reading:: Self:  What is this?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: These are the colonists of the planet Pendragonia, to which we are currently headed.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: whispers:: CNS: is this a joke?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks up at O'Dunn::  CO:  What is this?  Who are they?

CSO_Toms says:
::shakes head at the list of names... weird::

CNS_Luchena says:
::whispers::  CMO:  I don't think so.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: They claim to have been dropped off by the Pendragon twenty years from now, for their own protection.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::goes pale:: CO:  So we have children?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: We are to ascertain the truth to this claim and find an explanation. Temporal investigations will join us eventually, but we are to begin the investigation.

CNS_Luchena says:
Self:  Twenty year old children?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks up at O'Dunn::

XO_Rofax says:
::tries to wrap his mind around this conundrum::  Self: Temporal anomalies....  ::shakes his head slightly::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Actually, counselor, your children appear to be 36 and 34.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: They claim to have been left there at SD 12302.25.

CSO_Toms says:
::returns to looking out the window.... the PADD having dropped from his hand::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  My children?  ::looks at her incredulously::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Any questions?

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: do we have DNA samples?
