CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Spears: Just can't help that we are mis-counting something.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
<Spears> CMO: If I have to go through that again, I am dumping all of it out the airlock.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer:  Close report and file.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge and takes a seat in the XO chair::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Also, with our current status, all holodeck requests will require Command Staff approval.  Restrict access as you see fit.  ::sits in the center chair, looking almost uncomfortable::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::looks at her:: Spears: Ok it looks good, excellent work. ::grins;:

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits back and puts his feet up on his desk::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::Continues looking at the helm expecting something to suddenly change::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Good Day Captain...  Feeling better?

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
<Spears>:: not smiling back, gets up and goes back to her work::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, sensors are picking up three small ships on an intercept course.  Attempting to identify.  ::scans for identification::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: The official answer will be yes... for now...

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::watches her leave:: Self: Boy am I the fan favorite or what...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::smirks and smiles::  CO: Understood.  

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::ponders life, the universe, and everything::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
*XO*: Cmdr this is Dr. Carter, if the Captain so much as hiccups, I want to know about it.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the stars and planets wondering what to do about them.::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::taps on the intercom button on the XO panel::  *CMO* Right Doctor...  You'll be the first to know.  

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::figures the CO didn't hear her so she reports to the XO:: XO:  Commander, sensors are picking up 3 small vessels on an intercept course.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::resolves to find an end::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands up::  OPS: Identity?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I'm trying to ascertain that now, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO: Prepare to alter course.... I'm not sure we want to deal with anyone on an intercept course.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::notices they have a new crewmember:: *CIV*: Mr. Vasak this is Dr. Carter, if you are not busy I need you to report to Sickbay please.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his feet back on the floor and gets up::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::plots a second course but doesn’t change course as yet::

FCO_Ens_White says:
CO: Course plotted.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leaves the Counseling Department::

CIV_Vasak says:
*CMO*: I'm on my way ::heads to sickbay::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: enters the bridge ::

CSO_LT_Toms says:
::decides that its still nothing, and leaves sickbay for the bridge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I am unable to identify them.  But sensors are picking up they are technologically advanced ... their shields and weapons appear superior to ours ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters Sickbay::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::notices that Vasak is Cardassian:: Self: Kewl. :: goes to prepare for the physical::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shall I raise shields, Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the Captain::   CO: Yellow Alert might be in order Captain...  

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::overhears:: FCO: Mr. White, engage secondary course.  Try to put some distance between us.  ::nods to the XO::

FCO_Ens_White says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices things are blessedly quiet in sickbay for a change::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Go on shields...   All: All Hands yellow alert!

CSO_LT_Toms says:
::heads to the bridge::

CIV_Vasak says:
::enters sickbay:: CMO: Hello doctor.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::initiates yellow alert::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::calls out::  CMO: Doctor?  ::looks around::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::engages secondary course and brings the Pendragon to a course perpendicular to that of the approaching ships::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: See if we can round up a few more hands at Tactical.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
EO: Jose, check the mutation subprograms in the shield control routines, would you?? We need them ready to go at a moment's notice.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Nurse Spears: Let's... :hears yellow alert chime:: not....

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: Yes Counselor?

EO_Damien says:
CEO: Aye Sir

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees who's available to man tactical ... slaves it to her console until someone can arrive::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CIV*:  Bridge to Ensign Vasak

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps towards him::  CMO:  I was just on my way to the bridge and thought I'd stop by.

Action: The three ships change course and continue to approach.

EO_Damien says:
::runs a check on the main and sub-routines of shield control::

CIV_Vasak says:
*OPS*:Vasak here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CIV*:  We need you on the bridge, Ensign.  Please report to the XO immediately.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks up and stands behind the helmsman, looking over his shoulder::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: Kind of you, we were just catching up seeing it is a quiet day...so far.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir the ships have changed course and are continuing to approach on an intercept course.

CIV_Vasak says:
*OPS*: Aye aye. ::leaves sickbay and heads to the turbolift::

CSO_LT_Toms says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads to SCI 1, logs in and reads latest status report::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Maintain Yellow Alert...   

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Hail them.  Standard Starfleet Diplomatic Address.  All frequencies.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  CMO:  I read your report on the status of pain management supplies.  I wanted to let you know the Counseling Department might be of some help.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks back to the XO's chair next to the Captain and sits::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO: Can we outrun them?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Hailing on all frequencies, Starfleet Diplomatic Address.  ::sends the hail::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: That would be fantastic, any help will be most welcome.

CIV_Vasak says:
::enters turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods again::  CMO:  There are some psychological techniques that can help with pain control.  Deep breathing, meditation... those sorts of things.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::whispers:: CO: Captain...  I wouldn't jump to wanting to run away just yet sir...   We don't know what their intentions are...

Action: The three ships close in, with the lead ship, a beautiful canary yellow answering the hail.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::prepares to change the course again ninety degrees away from the approaching ships and twenty degrees 'up'::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CO: Captain, analysis of their warp signature indicates that their drives are more efficient than ours, and probably faster, as well.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, they are responding to our hail.  Putting it on-screen.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::puts the comm on-screen::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: Excellent idea, I didn't even think of that. I was also researching possibly disrupting. temporarily of course, pain receptor pathways during injury. It is a bit risky, but we'll keep it as a last resort.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::leans to the whisper XO::  XO: Three to one odds are not my idea of a fair fight.....

Host Canalian says:
Comm: Pendragon: I am Captain Canalian of the Sparlotta. Why have you crossed into our territory?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::stands and straightens his uniform::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Let's hope we don't need any pain management.  ::smiles grimly::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: I hope not as well.

CIV_Vasak says:
::Enters the bridge:: All: Reporting for duty.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian:  We were unaware of any borders in this area.  We were simply trying to pass through.

Action: The man on the screen is a bright yellow, humanoid with darker yellow spots similar to those a Trill.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: Tactical Analysis on the three approaching vessels...

Action: He is wearing long, golden robes and has long golden hair, tied back in an intricate braid.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  My department will welcome your referrals.  I'd best be on my way.  ::turns to leave::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: And make it quick

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CNS: Thank you again Counselor.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: Please accept our apologies and if you can direct us to an alternate heading, we would be in deepest appreciation.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::raises an eyebrow at the captain of the approaching ships::

Host Canalian says:
::eyes widen:: COM: Pen: You are claiming to have never heard of the Jolian Empire?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::thinks the man on screen looks cute::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::taps com badge::  *CNS* Commander Luchena to the bridge

CIV_Vasak says:
XO: Aye aye.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leaves sickbay and heads down the corridor::  *XO*:  On my way.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::opens her mind to the humanoid to try to sense anything about them::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: It is rare that we travel very far beyond the Alpha Quadrant.  We are a Science vessel simply trying to return home.

EO_Damien says:
::corrects a slight imbalance in the shield modulation controls::

FCO_Ens_White says:
XO: Would you like me to continue the current course or slow to impulse sir?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into a TL::  TL:  Bridge.

Host Canalian says:
::frowns:: COM: Pen: You are spacefarers from so far away?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Good thinking... Drop to 1/4 impulse.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Nurse Spears: Are we on for dinner tonight?

FCO_Ens_White says:
XO: Aye.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: It was an unfortunate incident.  I would be happy to show you our flight records to back up this claim.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
:exits TL onto bridge::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
<Spears> CMO: Depends on the menu...Doctor.

Host Canalian says:
COM: Pen: How did you arrive in our quadrant? ::looks suspicious::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks around at the CNS and gives him a "you are going to love this" look::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices Rofax standing and addressing the view screen::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::slows to the ship to one quarter impulse, and continues on the current course.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at OPS::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Nurse Spears: Hey....replicators the limit! ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: We are still struggling to answer that question, but it appears as if we crossed into an artificial wormhole.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks to the view screen::

Host Canalian says:
::looks off screen and whispers something::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
<Spears> ::laughs::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if the yellow humanoid is male or female::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, we are being scanned ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to his chair and activates his console::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Do not interfere with it.  Transmit our flight data since entering the wormhole....

Host Canalian says:
::smiles at someone off screen::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the tactical station and stands next to the CIV::  CIV: Analysis Mr. Vasak?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  FCO:  Mr. White, the flight data, please.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up at Rofax::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::trying to hide when arriving on bridge::

Host Canalian says:
::the crew can hear one word of his conversation "Interesting".

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices the TO trying to sneak onto the bridge unnoticed::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::feeds a copy of the flight records to the ops console::

Host Canalian says:
::looks back at the screen::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles to himself::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::hears the TL doors open and spies the TO sneaking onto the bridge::

CIV_Vasak says:
XO: They can not only out gun us, but out run us sir. They are far superior. We stand no chance.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::moves over to Tactical and notices the CIV:: CIV: Uh.. hey ::smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::receives the flight records and transmits them to the Sparlotta::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  They seem..... friendly enough~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CNS: I don't know ... I've been trying to sense their intentions ... ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::sighs::  CIV: I was afraid of that...   You and Mr. Newind here devise a tactical plan to use against them if we have to.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Flight records sent, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO: Nice of you to join us Mr. Newind.

CIV_Vasak says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host Canalian says:
COM: Pen: On behalf of my liege, I invite you to come to our homeworld where we can help you re-supply your needs and hear tales of your quadrant.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::notices everyone else has practically caught him::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles a smart-alecky smile and walks back to the XO's chair::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Friendly.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Um.. Yeah, sorry bout that

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to sense Canalian's presence::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: We are low on supplies and welcome the invitation.  Mr. White, our helmsman, will need the coordinates.  ::smiles warmly::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::wonders why she feels like this is a trap::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::hears the other captain, then casts a look to the CO of "I don't like that idea very much"::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leans over toward Irvin and speaks softly::  XO:  They may be telepathically shielded.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ XO: Neither do I, but if they wanted to, we'd already be dead.~~~

Host Canalian says:
::nods in satisfaction:: COM: Pen: We will escort you to the "Jewel of the Universe". Transmitting coordinates now.

EO_Damien says:
::wonders if they have a game resembling baseball on their planet::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Everything else of theirs is superior...  *shrugs* You might be on to something there indeed....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain.  I sense only satisfaction and some excitement in our hosts.

EO_Damien says:
::"Jewel of the universe". Yes::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I recommend caution ... I have an uneasy feeling about this ...

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CO: We're clearly not a danger to them. Why should they wish to harm us?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Canalian: Thank you.  Your hospitality will be recorded in our historical records.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  It might be something that will help us get home.

Action: Canalian thanks the CO or warmly and closes the COMM. His ships fall into place on either side and behind the Pen.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CO: And we could definitely use a resupply stop.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Captain...  I do NOT like this one bit....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CNS:  We know nothing about them ... Don't ask me why but I get the feeling we are heading into trouble ... ~~~

CIV_Vasak says:
::trys to devise a way to escape from the Canalian ships::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: It's just a little too convenient.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::mutters:: Self: sounds like a seedy bar on Io.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
ALL: I see no reason to be fearful.  We cannot match them in strength nor speed.  Their hospitality will either be our salvation or our end.  I suggest we each make the best of it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::monitors the ships getting into position::  All:  It seems we have no choice.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::plots a course to the indicated coordinates::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::trying to catch up with what is going on::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Objections noted.  You can remain onboard once we arrive, if you would like.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::looks at the sensors and notices the ships::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Absolutely not!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches Rofax carefully::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Nurse Spears: You know...we need a monitor down here letting us know where we are going? We never know where the ship is going around here...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Someone's gotta keep an eye on you!

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::drops into his chair, sweating some what from the strain of standing::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::both nurses roll their eyes as they continue their work::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::watching the CO and XO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Change of course.  We are being escorted to the Jewel of the Universe.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: But in the meantime, I am going to have to insist that you go to sickbay for a quick once over...  You look like hell.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, are you sure you are up to this?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks over at his Captain::

Action: The fours ships whip across space and soon arrive a few Ly from their destination.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::hears the announcement:: Nurses: Listen...its a miracle...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Very well...... ::whispers under his breath::  Self: Didn't realize I had brought my mother along....

EO_Damien says:
::absently:: CNS: I'm hoping it's a diamond

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::has good hearing::  CO: I heard that.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles curtly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grins::  EO:   Hope is a good thing.  ::wishes he had some::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
*CNS*: Oh...maybe we 'll find some Jewels there...or something like that.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: ETA to...  uhhhh....   This Jewel of the Universe place....  ?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::coughs into his hand than glances around waiting for something::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Anything interesting on sensors?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Very well.  You have the bridge.  OPS: Care to walk with me to Sickbay?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::nods to the Captain:: CO: Aye

FCO_Ens_White says:
XO: Course plotted, awaiting order to engage sir.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::stands and moves to the TL::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  Go with him~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::gets up and motions to another officer to replace her at her station, then goes to join the Captain::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches Rofax and wishes he knew what happened to him::

Action: They soon are in range of a twelve planet system surrounding a red giant. Of the 12 planets, five are obviously inhabited and Class M.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks suspiciously at his consol::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::joins the CO in the TL::

Action: The 3rd planet, seemingly their destination, is a planet of sparkling, rainbow-like colors.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CSO: Pre-approach Scan

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at his console and shrugs::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the image on the view screen::

CSO_LT_Toms says:
::obviously ignoring the CNS::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Oooh.. Aah..

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I am curious, why did you ask me to join you, Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: We have served together a long time, Jordan.  I trust I can be candid with you...

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: turns to Damien :: EO: Jose, this may be a good chance to get the airoponics bay built. Look over the Voyager logs and see if their construction plans can be adapted for our use. I'll ask the Captain for final approval.

CSO_LT_Toms says:
XO: Aye sir. ::scans as requested::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  What's causing that spectral display?

CIV_Vasak says:
::glances up at the view screen::

EO_Damien says:
::looks up at the screen, thinking they should have called it "prism of the universe"::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Of course you can, Sir.  What's wrong?

CSO_LT_Toms says:
CNS: Excuse me, but I have work to do sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO/CIV: Tactical Evaluation of this sector please gentlemen....  

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sighs::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: What's our status Lieutenant?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CO: I cannot remember anything since entering the wormhole.  Yet, I keep hearing Tria speak to me in dreams.  Is she still alive?  I cannot remember.....

FCO_Ens_White says:
::fiddles with the console waiting for orders holding position::

CIV_Vasak says:
::looks down at his console and begins scanning::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: You got it..

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: All systems nominal. Minor fluctuations in an EPS conduit on deck seven; I have a repair team on it now.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the CNS::  CNS: Could be a natural occurrence of their atmosphere...  Similar to the refraction of light from the sun that produces the blue sky during the day...

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::begins the random button pushing::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Very well...   I wanna be able to make a FAST get away if necessary

CSO_LT_Toms says:
XO: Sir, prescans show the following: Class M, one large continent, five major cities. No pollution. humanoid species. Two oceans, one sal, one fresh.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes, she is alive, Captain.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CSO: A Fresh water ocean?  That's unusual to say the least....

CSO_LT_Toms says:
XO: They are an advanced society, tech wise at least.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Or at least as far as I know she is.  I can check the records if you would like me to.

CSO_LT_Toms says:
XO: Indeed it is sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain ... what happened to you?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: I was sure I had died.  I can catch glimpses of myself in the Shuttlebay, trying to reach to her.  But, I was unsure if she was alive or a part of the torment I experienced...

CIV_Vasak says:
XO: Sir, the planet has an advanced planetary defense system.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Signal the lead vessel that we are assuming standard orbit and awaiting further instructions.

FCO_Ens_White says:
XO: Uh Aye sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Torment ... from who?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: And I guess I should have expected nothing less.  ::rolls eyes::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the screen and wonders::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::takes a seat in the center seat and begins the wait::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::sends a signal to the big yellow thing on the screen telling them that they will enter orbit and wait for instructions::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Sense anything Commander?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::enters orbit and awaits orders::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Hummm....  ::snaps out of it::  I'll try Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: I.... ::trails off::  ....from myself.... I believe.  I was sure I had met death and entered what you know as "Hell."  The images have stayed with me, it was all quite real...

Action: White soon receives orbiting instructions.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::tries to sense what the CO is feeling::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: What? We have a not-so-advanced ship offense system? Or maybe.. a not-so-advanced speed thingy? Hmm.. ::ponders the thought::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to get a sense of the beings on the surface::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::follows the instructions to the letter and awaits more orders::

Action: The planet hails the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::exits the TL and makes for Sickbay::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Chapman> XO:  Sir, the planet is hailing

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands::  OPS_Chapman: On Screen

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::walks with the CO:: CO:  It sounds like a bad dream, sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shivers for no apparent reason::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Chapman> XO:  On screen.  ::puts the comm on-screen::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COM: Planet: This is Commander Eli Irvin of the Federation Starship Pendragon.  We are grateful for your invitation and await further instructions.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the CNS as if to say "Good enough?"::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::enters Sickbay with the CO ... a concerned look on her face::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::snaps out of it as he senses Irvin's attention on him::  XO:  Nothing Sir.  I can't sense them.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::fiddles with the orbit than puts it back::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: I wish I felt the same.... ::pauses and turns to her, placing a hand on each shoulder, pulling her away from the Sickbay entrance::  Can I ask you something?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::whispers:: CNS: I don't know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Of course you can, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS_Chapman:  They hailed US.  Are they responding to our response?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shivers again... as if a goose walked over his grave::  XO:  It's hard to judge, Sir.

Action: A beautiful woman with Scarlet skin and hair appears on screen. Like Canalian, she has slightly darker spots and long, braided hair. Her robes seem to be made of very fine material and are studded with jewels.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
<OPS_Chapman> XO:  Checking, Sir.  ::sees a figure on the screen:: XO:  Here they are now, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the screen::  Self:  By the Goddess.....

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::taken aback by the striking beauty that appeared on the screen::

EO_Damien says:
::smiles at the image on the screen::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::smiles and wonders where the spots go to::

Host Pachsa says:
::smiles::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Wipe.. Drool.. Off.. Face..

Host Pachsa says:
COM: Pendragon: Welcome to Jolia, the Jewel of the Universe.

CIV_Vasak says:
::stares at the woman on the view screen::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::leans his forehead, so that it rests against hers::  ~~~ OPS: I would like a non-Counseling opinion.  I have granted you access to my personal log entries... everything is there.  Please review it and speak with me later.  I am not ready to approach Mikal as of yet.~~~  ::stands upright and walks into the heart of Sickbay::

Host Pachsa says:
COM: Pen: I am Pachsa, the Zircon’s representative. We welcome you all.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::approaches the viewer::  COM: Pachsa: Thank you.  On behalf of my entire crew, we are very appreciative of your hospitality.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::stops smiling and focuses on the console::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  We have arrived at the Jewel and have made contact.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~CO:  Of course I will, Captain. ~~~ ::seeing the Captain entering sickbay turns and heads back to the bridge::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::brings himself back to reality and starts looking at the sensors again::

Host Pachsa says:
COM: Pendragon: I am pleased to invite you all to partake of the Jewel. There will be a banquet in your honor in two hours. At this time, the Zircon will honor your leader with his blessing.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks from the screen to the XO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  We've been invited to dinner.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::looks up:: CO: Captain? Is everything ok?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CNS* Very good.  Prepare the landing party.  Cmdr Pettigrove is on her way back to the bridge.  Rofax out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::enters the TL and directs it to the bridge::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::bows deeply to the woman on the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: I am tired Doc.  Other than that, not bad.  ::shoves himself onto a bio-bed::

Host Pachsa says:
::tilts her head slightly:: COM: Pen: Are you all...so plainly colored?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles at the woman on the view screen::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::picks up a med tricorder and begins scanning:: CO: Still not sleeping?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::laughs momentarily at the woman and smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::arrives back on the bridge ... her mind full of concern for the Captain as she relieves Chapman::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Permission to bring an instrument along Sir.

TO_Ens_Newind says:
::beginning to notice that CIV has been notice everything on Tac sensors.. wonders if the console is broken::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at Jordan as she returns to her post::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::hears the communiqué between CNS and CO::  COM: Pachsa: On behalf of Captain Rofax, I accept your gracious invitation...   And as to being "plainly colored", I would have to say compared to the people of your planet, I guess so.  

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: I am lying in my quarters with my eyes closed, but I do not believe you would call it sleep... ::grins despite the pain::

TO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: O

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::nods to the CNS and whispers::  CNS: inconspicuous please...

TO_Ens_Newind says:
<remove last line?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: steps forward :: Pachsa: Some of us have variations in coloring.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen slightly in surprise::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: I can give you something for that if you like. ::looks at the readings as he goes::

Host Pachsa says:
::nods but frowns ever so slightly:: COM: Pen: We will transmit the coordinates. The Zircon looks forward to our meeting.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Looks like we'll be dusting off those full dress uniforms.

Action: The screen goes blank.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: Ok...  Everyone stop for a second...

FCO_Ens_White says:
::smiles to himself and fiddles with his console happily::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Sir?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::focuses on her console::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Whatever you are bringing, keep it out of site until we can say to them, "We brought this, hope you don't mind"

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Not at the moment.  We have limited time until we are due on the surface.  Give me a once over and clear me for Cmdr Irvin's sake, if you can.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
XO: There is certainly no arguing that they are a beautiful people.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CSO: Tricorder everything in site.  They can't expect us not to give them a look see.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO curiously::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Mr. Thraxis, you'll be in command while we're gone.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::nods, continuing to scan:: CO: You know, we could use Mikal's help. I know you feel you are not up to it.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: surprised :: XO: Yes, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
ALL: This is all way too convenient.  I don't want to be caught off guard.

EO_Damien says:
XO: Maybe they are just happy to see us?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::wishes she could get out of going ... has something far more important to do::
