CTO: Good to hear Thorne
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:

@XO: Aye sir.    All teams: Report back at once.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: It's Ketracel White, not complete though. It's all over this planet.

@ ACTION: Some of the crew have decided to go for a night time swim and splash around in the water a short distance from Ahkileez.. laughing and enjoying themselves.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
OPS: No problem...
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: Commander Ahkileez has informed me to keep this information on a need to know basis.  No need to alarm anyone just yet.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::paces a little, looking at the crew's relaxation, hating to ruin it:: *CO*: Captain, Commander Ikari has found that flora here is an excellent source of Ketracel White. It's in abundance and is easily refined into a product the Jem’hadar can use.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@*CTO*: I have called in all teams back to base, sir. I’ll have to get back with you on it
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Did I hear you right Jyg? Ketracel white?!?  
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*TO*: Alright Toir, keep me informed
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Yes ma'am, and lots of it. This planet could supply battalions of them. Now, Shinji thinks that it can be destroyed on the molecular level though.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::nods:: CSO: I understand completely... ::transfers the data to a larger PADD so he can examine it, he stands there working on the PADD silently for a little::

CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I knew it...sighs::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Overhears the XO::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::shakes his head:: TO: No. Leave them for now. No need to ruin their fun.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: You think it can be done, Jyg? Destroying it I mean
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::Starts to get a little worried about the news he just heard::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::Can't help but start to think of the Jem’hadar... coming back, he blinks::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Grimaces at Thorne and gives a shake of her head::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Begins to wonder what will happen to the planets eco-system if the plant is destroyed::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::notices Maylen drift for a second:: CMO: Are you alright Doctor?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ *CO*: Unknown. Thorne can run some simulations to see if we have the weaponry to do it, but it is an entire planet, Captain. We'd have to scorch the surface.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Pulling up all info on Jem’hadar fighter craft and tactics ma'am.  ::overhears XO:: I'll start on that too ma'am
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: I hate to do that Jyg. Is it in a pure form?  
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::calls out to see if everyone has made it in::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Maybe the doctor can come up with a bio-agent that doesn't need us to "scorch the surface"?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::starts to punch in the numbers to see if the Shari has the weaponry to destroy a world full of one specific vegetation::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: My thoughts exactly, Jax.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::inhales sharply and looks quickly at the CSO, snapping out on instinct:: CSO: Yes, yes quite fine... ::notes that was too fast:: Truly I'm fine, just thinking... that's all
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: No, Captain. It's in the flowers. We'd have to destroy it at the source.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::getting reports in that everyone was returned::
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Did you hear that Jyg? Can we find a way to destroy the plant with out taking out the whole Bio-system?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: Yes well, don't work too hard.  ::grins and pats him on the back::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: What will happen to the eco-system if we kill this one plant?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Yes ma'am. But I suggest we call Command, Captain. They are more qualified to make this decision. And send help if we need it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: I don't know Alex.  I just don't know
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::begins to get results of the simulations back:: CO: Ma'am we can do it a couple of different ways but we'd end up killing the entire planet to do it
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::does not smile:: CSO: Yes... of course... ::goes back to his PADD::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
OPS/CO: It would look like what we saw before we went through the wormhole...?
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Agreed. Jyg, have the teams down there try to find alternate ways to solve our little problem. I'll contact you once we hear from Command. 
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain. Anything else?
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Not right now Jyg. Fowler out
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::sighs and drops his gaze from the sky:: TO: Let's tell the others.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::heads back into the lab::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am at our range and given the time it will take command to answer us, we're looking at an hour or more probably
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::looks up:: CSO: What do you think about a wide scale defoliant agent... sort of a biogenic weapon ::almost cringes at the use of that term:: against the flowers, and the flowers only?
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Send a message to Command, Lt. Apprise them of our find.  
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: Yes sir. I don't like this very much.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Then that gives us the time to find alternate ways to solve this.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Yes Ma'am ::Prepares message, attaching reports and begins to transmit the message::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CSO/CMO: I've spoken to the Captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
OPS: Let's hope nobody intercept our message
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: We can't be certain as to this plant's role in the environment.  It could be key to the environment's survival, for all we know.  I'll start to focus some of my teams research.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@XO: Any orders?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CEO: I have encrypted it.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@CSO: Still if offers the best chance for this planet to survive... ::looks to the XO:: XO: Sir?
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO/CEO/OPS: I wonder is the soil itself part of this?  
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO:  Sir, I’ll get my team to set up a closed perimeter around the camp.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Let's ask.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CSO/CMO: The Captain wants your people working on alternative ways to take out the foliage responsible. Anything non-weaponry. Commander Knight is working on that.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Go to the SCI Dept and find out if any soil samples have been beamed up. Have them work on that assumption
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::nods to Toir:: TO: Start doing that. Let them know they can join the other in swimming if they wish. Just keep security inside the camp.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Aye sir...
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Gets up and walks towards the TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@XO: Sir, I can't stress enough how dangerous removing a part of a balanced ecosystem could be.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
TL: Deck 4
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@XO: Understood sir, I've all ready fielded such an idea to Commander Ikari here, we'll have to work on it further.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: Aye sir. ::steps out of the lab to get everything set up and in order::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Awaits in TL::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Enters Deck 4, science lab 1::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CSO: I know, but the captain's orders stand.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::turns slightly:: CSO: No more dangerous than letting the Jem’hadar loose again...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CSO/CMO: Your orders are to put everyone available on coming up with alternatives to burning this planet down. I'll expect a report in an hour.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@*CTO*: Sir, I’m setting up a closed perimeter around camp. I will keep security tight.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@XO: Now, this planet is under Federation control. If the Jem’hadar haven't found it yet, it's unlikely they'll come looking for it any time soon.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, nobody has brought up any samples yet, but the computer is profiling the planet as of speaking.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CSO: This isn't our risk to take, Commander. Command will make it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Good Jax
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am we could use our tricobalt device in an airburst scorching a large part of the planet, or I could start a catalytic reaction in the upper atmosphere with the phasers and burn off the atmosphere, but that would also kill the planet... both as a last resort of course ma'am
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@XO: Sir if I may... I don't think that turning this planet into a cinder of ash is an idea that should be discounted... sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::takes a quick look around:: XO: I don't think Command has the right to make a decision that could potentially destroy a planet... sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CMO: I'm not discounting anything; nor is the Captain. But we have to be prepared.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I hope it is truly a last resort, Thorne. I don't relish the idea of 'killing' a planet, but I don't want the 'white' to fall into the wrong hands either
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::after giving his orders out he returns to the lab::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@XO: Good... because I think you should be, sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::sighs and controls his building anger:: CSO: You have your orders, Commander. Stow the debate for now and get your people on it, please.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I agree ma'am, it's not something I'd want to remember having to do, but I will if we need to
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ CMO: Commander Ikari is in charge of this now. Do what you can to help. And keep this quiet. We don't need a panic. Only tell the crew what they need to know.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::a little dejected:: Yes sir.  ::Ike quickly wheels away and barks an order at a crewman::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: everything is set out there my team is forming the perimeter know
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: We all will do it if we have to, but I, for one, won't enjoy it. ::She looks at the planet looking so peaceful on the screen::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@TO: Excellent work, Lieutenant. Let the Sharikahr know for me that preparations are underway.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::could almost be seen to frown:: XO: Understood, sir. I'll continue my efforts until then.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: Yes sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Nor I ma'am.....wonder if we'll ever get to enjoy one of our planetary missions
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, the computer is still scanning, but no results yet...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::tries to control his annoyance and glances at his wife before stepping outside to cool down::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I'm wondering about that too Thorne
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Keep me informed Jax
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Aye sir
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@*CTO* Preparations are on the way on our side, and I have set up a closed perimeter around the camp. I will update if anything new comes up. Please inform the captain, by XO's orders.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::goes out to prepare some samples for analysis::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::shakes his head sadly and continues to make preparations for either form of destroying the planet:: *TO*: Good work Toir.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Continues to monitor the activity on the planet::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::makes his way down to the beach, just above the surf line, and looks out at the waves glistening in the starlight::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am they've set up a closed perimeter around the camp now and they'll update us with anything new
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@:: notices the XO and walks out to him::   XO: is everything alright  sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good
Host CO_Fowler says:
Outloud: Now we just have to wait for Commands decision
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::looks over at Toir:: TO: Of course. Do you think something is wrong?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Sighs heavily:: CO: And I have both options ready to go if we need them ma'am
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods to Thorne::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::finds one of the flowers and kneels beside it... too bad they had to be destroyed, fascinating looking things. He picks one up out of the ground and secures it, and a sample of the surrounding soil into a sample container::
TO_Lt_Naug says:

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::smiles a little:: TO: You could say that.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Starfleet has received the transmission. They say that they will respond shortly with an answer on our situation
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: Can I be of any help sir? If I can help.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS Thank you Alex.  Now we can 'Hurry up and wait'.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Thank you for the offer, but I'm fine. Just a little annoyed that peace has been shattered once again. ::looks out at the other crew:: Do you want to go in for a swim?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::approaches one of the crewman in the lab:: Crewman: Make sure you begin sending these samples to the ship.  They can do more with them then we can.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
Self: Hope we don't have to wait long
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::secures another sample and puts them under his arm, and heads back to the lab::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Crewman> ::Nods to the CSO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Several plant samples suddenly appear next to Jax on the counter.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: No, thank you sir. I need to be alert. But, as I always say: there can never truly be total peace.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Sir, I have some planet samples now, but no soil samples...
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Start on what you have, Jax
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: But that's what we're out here for, Lieutenant. To search for it.  ::turns away from the revelry in the surf and stares into the glowing forest, more ominous now as it's glowing with food for an entire race of bloodthirsty killers::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Yes sir
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Hits a few buttons to allocate more computer space:: *CEO*: I have allocated more computer space to help speed up your analysis.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, I got more samples that come with soil and everything... I'm looking at them now...
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::returns to the lab with the plants and sets them on one of the tables, then sits at the computer::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*OPS*: Thank you Lieutenant
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Keep me updated, Jax
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: Maybe it's just my Klingon upbringing, but you have to have destruction to obtain peace. But I could be wrong.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Aye sir
Host CO_Fowler says:
::moves around the bridge, stopping at the SCI station::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: I spend the last fifty years blowing stuff up, Lieutenant. From one end of the quadrant, and further.  I thought it was my turn to help build and learn.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Asks one of the crewman to come over to analyze the samples::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:

TO_Lt_Naug says:
@XO: But you are helping to build. By doing what you have done, and what your doing now, helps future generations to make it better for them and so it goes down, on and on.
Host CO_Fowler says:

CO: We can transmit the data to the surface and have them look at it
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CSO*: Ike, what can you tell me about these flowers?  
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Over hears the OPS on the comm:: *CO*: I think Lt. Horn has a great idea
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CO*: How specific do you want, ma'am?
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::shakes his head::  self:  I guess I’ll never understand Vulcans.
Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Do that then, Alex. Have them compare our data with theirs
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CSO*: Well Ike, pretty specific, but try to keep it in English ::smiles a bit::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::walks off to check on that perimeter and how its holding up::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO: Yes ma’am::Receives information from the CEO and transmits it to the science team on the surface::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::steps into the blue glow of the forest, still angry at the loss of peace here::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CO*: Ok, well basically, the chemical structure is 94% Ketracel White.  That is to say, it needs a molecule of melyrium, a carbon molecule structure and two molecules of sodium to be complete.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Leaves the room monitored by a crewman and goes back to the Bridge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Enters bridge::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@*CO*: Now due to its unique and delicate nature, these molecules can be broken down quite easily.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::finishes his basic Anti-Plant spray... rather fast he notes... quicker then it would have taken him something else::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@::walks up to the nearest Sec officer::   Sec: how are things Ens.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Shakes her head at the info:: *CSO*: Just how easy can it be broken, Ike?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::notices a bleep on the console in front of him:: *CO*: Fairly easily... umm, ma'am, can you excuse me for a moment?
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@<SEC> TO: Sir, everything is up and nothing is getting in or out without us knowing about it.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CSO*: Thanks Ike. Fowler out
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Takes his seat at ENG console again::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@::walks over the CMO:: CMO: Doctor, you may want to take a look at the initial soil analysis.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves back to her seat, still thinking about the flower::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@SEC: Very good Ens. Keep up the good work. :: Walking off checking on the loose crewmen rooming around camp::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Captain, if you'd like to see the flowers, they're in Science Lab 1....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@::reaches down and picks one of the offending flowers and looks at it, twirling it in his fingers::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Notices her light blinking indicating that the teams received her transmission::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: I might do that, Jax
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::looks up at the CSO:: CSO: Ah, thank you... stay around, I'm just about to test an agent I've made against the plants.
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@*CTO* sir, everything is quite still and the crewmen seem to be enjoying themselves
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Nods at the captain and returns to his diagnostic of the IDF::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: The "Ketracel White" plant releases an enzyme into the planet's soil.  This enzyme seems to be integral in many of the other plants' development and continual growth.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*TO*: Good Toir, but just make sure you're ready to pack up at a moment's notice.....we're still waiting on word from Starfleet
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::sighs and crushes the flower in his hands, letting it fall in a crumpled mass to the forest floor as he leaves it behind to rejoin the crew::
TO_Lt_Naug says:
@*CTO* Aye sir, we’ll be ready.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*TO*: Acknowledged. Knight out
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at his console for the result of the IDF diagnostic::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::takes a vial of the defoliant from the replicator nearby and heads over to the plant samples:: CSO: So the planet will have to be sacrificed? A pity. ::he inserts the vial in a hypospray and opens the sample container, he then sprays the chemical all over the plant within::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Plant sits there... and nothing happens.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I wish there was another way ma'am... this will be such a waste
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
@ ::steps thru the forest wall and back onto the beach, watching his wife approach::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I agree Thorne, but if we have too, then so be it
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Sends a copy of the diagnostic to OPS::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am...agreed
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
@CMO: No commander, the planet should be spared... If I could speak frankly, I believe you may be letting personal issues interfere with your duty.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
@::frowns:: CSO: Well, it was too optimistic to expect it to work on the first try... ::turns around:: Pardon me?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Receives report, compares it to power flow specs:: CEO: IDF looks okay to me
