::on the bridge at the Science station...going over probe data::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::leans back in his chair, watching the screen calmly:: CTO: ETA?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::checks results from the last drill in Main Weapons::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, have the primary weapons crews stand down but ready to go on alert if we need
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO*  aye sir  just finishing up the last drill
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Scans space for any sign of radio traffic, other ships, or something else::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
ALL: Everyone to there stations and remain on standby
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::clears his throat:: CTO: ETA Lieutenant Knight...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::sighs:: Self: Probe just didn't pass close enough for anything detailed...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, Fifteen minutes
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::makes a system check and places all systems on standby::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CTO: Good. How're things in Mr. Naug's department?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Fine sir, Security and Main Weapons all functioning normally.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Fixing the Bridge replicator's menu and accidentally made a cup of coffee in the replicator::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Excellent. Call Mr. Naug to the Bridge. We can use his help at the Conn. We don't know how this will turn out.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: What're the results of your latest scans?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Is annoyed and decides to fix it on the bridge to save embarrassments::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, please report to the bridge
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Nothing new sir.....the probe didn't pass close enough....I'll start long-range scans now.
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* on my way         Benson: you have it be ready for anything
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Understood. Keep me apprised as anything changes.
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
<Benson>  Aye sir
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Mr. Naug is on his way sir
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Brings his tools and walks into a TL:: TL: Bridge
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::walks into TL::    TL: bridge
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::continues his LRS::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Thank you Lieutenant, continue preliminary long-range scans with Doctor Leonard.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Exits TL to Bridge::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::Exits TL  and walks over to TAC::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::starts conducting long range scans of the Class M moon::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks up:: CEO: Something wrong Commander?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Six minutes ETA sir.. Mr. Naug, please take over the Helm...XO: No sir
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::walks over to the helm and sits down::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CEO: No, why do you say that?
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Sir the Class M moon is on the far side of the gas giant...it is blocking scans.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::grins sheepishly at XO::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::watches for the moon on LRS and is unable to see the moon:: XO: Sir, the moon is still hidden behind the gas giant
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::starts pushing buttons::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: No reason, but I'm glad to have you up here Commander. Carry on.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Slowly walks over to the Engineering Console on the Bridge::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr rises over the horizon of the Gas Giant and the Moon comes into view. Its blue and green, with white swirling clouds. About 8/10s the size of Earth.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: All right, well keep to the lower powered scans for now.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Adjust our course to a wide orbit, we might as well approach this moon slowly.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Taps a few buttons on the console and walks over to the replicator..::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::scans the moon as it comes into view::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
XO: Coming into the horizon of the gas giant sir
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir ::Switches to short range and more passive scans::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
XO: Aye sir   ::  adjusting course for wide orbit::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Report?
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Sir....I am reading about 2 million humanoid life signs on the planet....they are all gathered in several towns on one continent.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Any signs of technology or communications?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, I am picking up no signs of radio or other communications traffic, or anything of a technological or electrical reading
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Slowly fixes the replicator menu on the Bridge::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::hears Lt. Knight:: XO: I concur sir.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, it registers as a Post-Agro society, which would be equivalent with a Silver age, or Middle Ages on Earth
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Take us into a high orbit, Lieutenant Naug. Very high.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr slides into orbit around the planet.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::continues to scan::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Listens to everyone on the bridge and continues to work on the replicator::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
XO: Aye sir     :: places the ship in a very high orbit::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO/CTO: You can proceed with more active scans now, since they probably won't be looking back.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir, switching to active scans
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::nods and goes to a more detailed scan::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::makes a few minor adjustments ::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::sees something:: Self: Oh...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
Self: Neat formation there...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Sir take a look at this...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Actually I'll put it on the viewscreen.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::notices something on the first sweep but hears CMO Leonard call the XO's attention to it::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Thank you Doctor. ::looks as the picture appears::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::transfers the image onto the viewscreen::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Visual of the Formation appears on the viewscreen... It’s a huge white stone formation of the UFP Emblem.
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
SELF: what the heck
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Looks familiar doesn't it....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::all spock-esque:: CMO: Fascinating...
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Turns and looks at the viewscreen::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::notices a pattern around the stone:: XO: Sir, all the towns are arranged in a circle around that object
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: With the largest town being at it's base
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: With the largest town at the base of the emblem.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, I misspoke, they aren't in a circle, merely around the stone
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO/CTO: One at a time please. Lieutenant Knight, triple check for Federation technology or metals. Doctor Leonard, start more active bioscans. See if you can find out what they're doing.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::starts a bio-scan::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO: Adjust our orbit to directly over that formation, Lieutenant.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gestures:: CEO: Could you come here a moment, Commander?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Puts his tools away and walks over to the XO::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir I'll check again  ::Scans planet once more:: XO: No signs of technology sir
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
XO: Aye sir ::moves the ship into a stationary orbit over formation::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Thank you.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at view screen and looks at the XO::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Bio-scans reveal a humanoid lifesign, previously unknown.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Care to conjecture on how a technologically unadvanced species could build such a thing?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Any relations to anything we know of?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::continues to scan the towns around the object::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::gets a close visual scan:: XO: Sir...they look human....
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Well, they're only stones, and from old Earth history, they could make beautiful arts, this could just be a very large piece of art
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: A work of art that just happens to match the Federation emblem? That would take hundreds of years to build.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Look human? What about them isn't human?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Sigh:: XO: They missed a spot anyway...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::wry smile:: CEO: Thank you for pointing that out Commander.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: From visual scans nothing....I wouldn't be able to tell without close examination.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::switches to LRS and sweeps around the moon and gas giant::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::maintaining orbit::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Another explanation could be someone made first contact by accident or someone used our emblem and have come here before
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: I've thought the same thing. But we have no entries of previous trips here.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Could be someone's vacation spot..
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: If they're vacationing here, then they're in very serious trouble.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Exactly
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Start bringing up every scrap of information relating to anything anywhere near here. .
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Continue to scan.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Yes sir.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::continues to gather data::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Bridge Crew watches the three main Stars in the Emblem erupt into what must be very large fires.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Starts bringing up all....::XO: Sir, we have fires on the surface
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Magnify.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::watches the screen carefully::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at the view screen:: XO: Didn't know the emblem stars turn red occasionally.....
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir....magnifying and putting on screen
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::watches the screen::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::narrows the magnification down to the three fires:: XO: there they are sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the CTO:: CMO: Is there increased bio activity around the fires? Any signs that this may be some ritual of some sort?
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::checks for increased activity around the fires::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: There are people around the fires, they appear to be just watching them.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Thank you. We've done enough observation conjecture for now. Continue your scans.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::taps a button on his chair:: *CO*: Captain Fowler to the Bridge.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Standing next to the XO::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I see no sign of any other fires in any of the surrounding area to match the ones here
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::goes back to scanning for more information::
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: On my way
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Understood Captain. Ahkileez out.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: We'll have to assume that is important then. Just in case, Lieutenant, start looking for a suitable beam down spot.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::exits the RR::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::watches her walk in:: CO: Welcome to the party, Captain. ::smiles::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Report Commander
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Smiles back::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
All: Captain on Deck!
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Waves her hand:: All: As you were
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Continues to stand next to XO::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We have an unknown civilization of humanoids that just happen to have somehow built a very good replica of the UFP's emblem, just much bigger than we usually use it. Unfortunately, their advancement level is negligible, so we cannot contact them.
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::going over console checking orbiting status::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir ::switches scans and finds all sorts of beam down points:: XO: Sir, there are an abundant number of beam down points
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the CEO: CEO: Why are you still standing Commander? Take the Counselor's chair, please. You're making me nervous... ::smiles::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I see.  
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Pick one within a kilometer of the largest town then.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Nervous Vulcan? ::Ponders and sits::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: The Prime Directive seems to apply, but that emblem makes it a shaky argument.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Checks Engineering status on the chair::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir... ::finds the spot and locks it into his console:: XO: Site picked sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Thank you Lieutenant. ::nods and turns back to the Captain::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Yes it does.  But a lot of questions are raised.  Like why that particular emblem?
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::smiles and nods back::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CMO: Do you have a complete bio scans yet? We don't want to look too different ::grins::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: The only theories we have come up with is they have previous knowledge of us, but nothing in our records say we have any of them.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: An AT would seem to be called for, ::smiles:: wouldn't it
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: It would seem so. But this is still risky. If we were seen for who we are...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
CEO: Well appearance as far as I can tell they look just like humans....
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: It stands to reason that the crewmembers that look the most like them would be logical. Do we know what they look like yet?
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
CEO: There are internal differences as far as genetic makeup and such...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Yes Ma'am, Doctor Leonard has been working on it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods:: XO: Good
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Can you put the bioscans of the individuals on the main viewer please. Let us get a good look at them.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::puts the full bioscans on the viewscreen::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION:  An average looking male and female appear on the screen, wearing Middle Ages attire.  They look human
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::turns and looks::
Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: Hmmmmm ::Studies the beings on the screen::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at the clothing:: CO: It's like going back in time without a temporal ummm thing...
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
All: As you can see there are differences in genetic makeup and internal structure....but on the outside...they look human.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: It does ::Nods in agreement::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks up at screen and grins:: CO: Look a lot like us Ma'am...
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CTO: Us? ::chuckles and turns back to view screen::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
All: Except they have six nipples on their torso instead of just two.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CMO: Dr. are the internal differences so different that it would affect the AT's presence if they had to eat something 
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CEO: Well basically, yeah ::grins::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That they do Mr. Knight
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
CO: No sir...that should not pose a problem.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to Leonard, listening to the Captain as he reads more of the biodata::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Laughs but tries to cover it:: CMO: Well that shouldn't be too hard to fix
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: I hope they don't eat worms...
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::hears the Captain and starts chuckling::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
CO: Shouldn't be.
Host CO_Fowler says:
:: smiles at Jax:: CEO: Me too Cmdr
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Then we're going down then, Captain?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Shouldn't we send a probe first?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Well, ::looking at her XO:: some of us are Cmdr
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: We can't risk leaving technical evidence, if it crashes.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: Oh...
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::looks back at the XO::  XO: I'm certainly not
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Some of us, including me, Captain. This is a totally unknown situation, I can't allow you to go down without me this time.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Good point. XO: How about one in a high orbit. That way if it starts to go down we can still fire on it
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO/CEO: Our sensors are superior to the probe's, and there's no detectable interference. I don’t see any reason to send one.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Nods in agreement::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I'll agree for the probes Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: But?
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: You would have to undergo some cosmetic surgery Jyg’Lo.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::sweeps sensors over the beam down area:: CO: The beam down spot is still deserted
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: That's no problem, Captain. I've done it before. ::smiles:: Lieutenant Naug should pose no problem either. He'll just need some dermal and dental restructuring.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good.  Keep an eye on it please.  And pick another as a back up just in case it becomes populated
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am...already have ::grins::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::smiles at the XO's comment::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grins back at Knight:: CTO: I thought you might
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: I would think the CTO is easier for that surgery ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye Ma'am....always
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good suggestion Cmdr.  ::Sighs but winks at her XO:: Then you two had better see the Dr. first. Seeing as it will take longer
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Thank you Captain. ::nods::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TO/CMO: Lieutenant, Doctor. Let's get to Sickbay. ::heads for the TL::
Host CO_Fowler says:
TO: Follow Commander Ahkileez to the Sick Bay
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::gets up and follows the XO::
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
TO: Good Luck Toir
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::gets up and accompanies them to Sickbay::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: With Cmdr Ahkileez on the planet with me, I'd prefer to keep Mr. Knight up here watching over us
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TL: Sickbay.
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
CTO: Don't worry Thorne we'll be safe with me
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am....
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
TO: I know they will
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Good idea, I'd suggest a transporter lock at all time
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That leaves one more SEC officer. Pick one and have them report to SB
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::taps the doctor on the shoulder on the ride down:: CMO: I want my ears back, *exactly* as they are now, ok? ::grumbles:: I like my ears...
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: I would suggest one too Mr. Jax ::Grins:: 
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the TL as it stops, leading them to SB::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
CMO: And be careful of the head.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::laughs:: XO: I'll make sure you get them back.
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am...*Ensign Morales*: Report to Sick Bay for an Away Team
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::laughs and shakes his head::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::following the XO and CMO to sickbay::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::follows along::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks into the SB and takes a seat on one of the biobeds:: CMO: I'm ready Doctor.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO/CEO: I think we have our away team now.  I'll go to SB after Jyg’Lo is done
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::tries to look calm, for morale's sake:: Self: I never did like doing this...
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: You're going down too?
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
CMO: I have never done this before
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am......We'll maintain a constant transporter lock on all of you
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::gathers the medical equipment needed:: TO: Funny...neither have I.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Tell me you're joking...
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Yes.  
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::winks::
TO_LTJG_Naug says:
CMO: oh boy
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I'll be counting on you to Knight
CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am...I won't let you down
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Hmm, I know I can't stop you, but isn't there a rule that the Captain shouldn't go on away mission?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Pats him on the back:: CTO: Good
