<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Tal-War Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sitting in the CO chair hoping this doesn't turn into a disaster::
Host Ian says:
Action; The Tal-War is in orbit of Risa
CEO_Helman says:
::arrives at bridge::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Do you have a shore leave schedule yet?
CEO_Helman says:
::nods to everyone::
Host XO_McRae says:
::wonders who is on Korlak's shore leave team::
CTO_Jordain says:
::On the bridge, going over the TAC AT/Shore leave team assignments::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::sat at his console::
CEO_Helman says:
::goes over to ENG console and gets to work::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Mr Jordain, Mr Jarvel, and myself. We'll call for assistance if the ..er.. shore leave gets too much for us to handle.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: I mean do you have the actual shore leave roster yet?
CTO_Jordain says:
::Looks up at Korlak::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::glances up from his console to Korlak with a mild look of surprise::
CEO_Helman says:
::runs a few diagnotics::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::looks at Korlak, wondering what part of the conversation had suddenly become inaudible::
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: My apologies, the actual shore leave roster is also prepared. One third of each department are scheduled for Shore Leave.
CSO_Jarvel says:
CO: Captain, I think it's important to point out that sensors indicate a vessel of Bolian design recently leaving orbit.
CEO_Helman says:
::starts working on debugging the bridge consoles::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Ah good, that means we won't be short-handed if something comes up.       Post the schedule and send to all terminals please.
Host XO_McRae says:
::kicks back and watches the data from the scans roll through::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::looks from Jorgaenson to McRae and back again::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Well we have already made our bed, now we have to lie in it.         We will have to continue with this shore leave ruse.      Perhaps our answers still lie down there.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: Posting message to all crew, Captain. ::hits "send" on his console::
CTO_Jordain says:
CO: Suggestion.. we can send a runabout after the bolian vessel, just to keep track.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CTO: Excellent suggestion Mr. Jordain.      You are already thinking security.    Make it so.
CSO_Jarvel says:
CO: Alternately the Tal-War itself could investigate while Mister Korlak, Mister Jordain, and myself investigate the surface.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: I believe to send the whole ship after one small freighter would be a bit overkill but still a good suggestion.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Additionally, I would like there to be back up available as needed.      The ship could have dropped someone off and left them as well as completed their business here.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::quirks an eyebrow at Jorgaenson:: CO: The type of vessel remains in question, sir ... only the origin of its engine design can be determined at this time.
OPS_Korlak says:
CO: There is the possibility that the freighter could be meeting a larger vessel. While the Tal-War could reach it in time, it might be useful to have the ship there rather than simply in orbit. Plus we'll have about a third of the crew on the planet if we need assistance.
CTO_Jordain says:
::Nodded at the captain and turned back to TAC1:: *TAC Team 8* Get yourselves into a runabout and pursue the bolian vessel leaving orbit. Safe distance, just following and reporting. You have your orders, Jordaïn out.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS/CSO: Okay, point taken.        We shall go after the ship.
CTO_Jordain says:
::Didn't hear the others after the captain::
CEO_Helman says:
::keeps working, while hearing what everyone is saying on the brudge::
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> *CTO* Aye sir.. preparing now.. ::sighs::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Ready someone for a runabout and then take us on a course shadowing the warp trail of the Bolian ship please.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::stands from his console and slips a tricorder into the holster on his waist as he adjusts his tunic and steps across the bridge towards the turbolift::
OPS_Korlak says:
::Waits for his relief to take over, and heads off to the TL::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::steps into the turbolift with Korlak and glances towards Jordain, wondering if he will be joining them::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Jordain says:
::Heard the TL open, looks up and heads over quickly::
OPS_Korlak says:
TL: Transporter Room one.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::steps out of the way to give Jordain room as the doors close behind him::
CTO_Jordain says:
::Enters TL:: CSO: Thanks for holding that one.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::nods:: CTO: Of course, Commander... ::rides in the lift with the others::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Belay that while I get my thoughts reordered please.
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> ::Waiting in the runabout for the 'all clear'::
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir  ::turns around, ever-so-slightly confused, and not a little worried for the safety of his future::
OPS_Korlak says:
::steps out of the TL as it comes to a halt and the doors open::
CEO_Helman says:
::finishes work on the the bridge::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::follows Korlak out of the lift::
OPS_Korlak says:
CTO: Do you advise that we take weapons?
CEO_Helman says:
*EO_Jones* I finished working on the bridge, continue doing what you're doing until further instructions
CEO_Helman says:
<EO_Jones>*CEO* aye sir
CTO_Jordain says:
OPS: Concealed type two phasers, nothing more.. but a small supply case hidden in a hotel room wouldn't hurt..
CSO_Jarvel says:
::steps into the transporter room with the others and crosses to the transporter controls, looking over the work done by the operator there::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::rubs temples, this confusion is giving her a headache::
OPS_Korlak says:
CTO: Check out whatever backup we'll need. ::grabs a pair of type twos, and passes one to the CSO::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::takes the phaser and glances from the transporter controls to the rather youthful operator skeptically:: OPS: All appears to be in order here...
OPS_Korlak says:
::steps onto the platform::
CEO_Helman says:
*TR* hold on that transporting
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CSO: Refresh my memory on your scans of yesterday on the Bolian warp trail pelase?
CSO_Jarvel says:
::follows Korlak onto the transporter platform as he holsters his phaser::
CSO_Jarvel says:
<ASO Thompson> CO: The scans which indicated it was a vessel of Bolian design, Captain?
CEO_Helman says:
*CSO, OPS_Korlak report to the bridge
CTO_Jordain says:
::Nods, then taps combadge:: *Armory SEC* Prepare a non-conspicious case with type 3 phaser rifles, backup type 2's and some light grenades with flares. Let that be brought to the AT cover hotel.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
ASO: Yes and what are its capabilities and vulnerabilities?
CSO_Jarvel says:
::standing on the transporter pad he pauses in surprise at Helman's hail and looks at the OPS officer confusedly::
OPS_Korlak says:
*CEO* What is it? We're about to leave the ship.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
ASO: Large crew, small crew?
CTO_Jordain says:
<Armory SEC> *CTO* Err.. aye.. ::sighs deeply but complies::
CEO_Helman says:
*OPS* not yet you aren't, get up here
CSO_Jarvel says:
<ASO Thompson> CO: I'm sorry sir ... all we have is an engine signature. We haven't been able to establish anything further solidly. I can tell you that these types of engines are ussually installed in Bolian transport vessels.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sigh::
OPS_Korlak says:
*CEO* Please state the nature of this request, unless you have received a recent promotion that I am not aware of.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::not sure what to do, he just stands next to Korlak waiting for the go ahead to go down::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Okay, leave the runabout here in case the AT needs it and set a course to follow the transport.         I give in.
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::issues the order that the runabout will remain, and heads off to follow the Boilian::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Okay, time out.      Everyone tune in your commbadges and let's listen up.
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> ::Sitting in the runabout::
OPS_Korlak says:
::hears his commbadge burst into life, and waves to the transporter operator to hold a few minutes::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*OPS*: I need a commbadge patch please.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*OPS*: Never mind.
CSO_Jarvel says:
<ASO_Thompson> ::turns to the CO, a curious expression across his face...
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Patch me through to all commbadges please.
CEO_Helman says:
::activates wide ship intercom::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::sees the mask of surprise that is plastered on Mister Korlak's face::
CEO_Helman says:
CO : go ahead
OPS_Korlak says:
::finally realises the captain was talking to OPS on the bridge with the comm line still open::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Since we seem to have some confusion with my orders I am going to explain.      I know I don't need to as your CO but then we all know I am not typical.    ::grin::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: My decision to send a runabout after the Bolian ship is based on stealth.       If we are going to be sneaky we don't want to send a boulder after a pebble.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::raises a very Vulcan-esque eyebrow towards Korlak::
OPS_Korlak says:
::grins at Jarvel, showing the gaps between some very sharp teeth::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: A runabout could be dismissed as general space traffic.        However the Tal-War on the exact same heading as this much smaller ship will raise more than a few eyebrows.        If Bolians have them that is.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: The FCO can pilot the runabout since he is not going on the away team.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: Now that I have explained myself, are there any questions?
FCO_Ranahi says:
::grins to himself, somewhat smugly::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::examines Korlak's toothy leer:: OPS: Did you know, Commander, that Starfleet medical has made incredibly advances in cosmetic dentistry in the last few years.
OPS_Korlak says:
CSO: You are, perhaps, considering having the points on your ears removed?
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> ::Looks at the empty flight chair in the runabout::
CSO_Jarvel says:
::raises his eyebrow even higher but doesn't dain to respond to Mister Korlak's attempts to insult him::|
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: No, sir.
OPS_Korlak says:
*CO* Permission to depart, Captain?
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: I asked if everything was understood.
CTO_Jordain says:
*CO* Aye captain.
OPS_Korlak says:
*CO* Your orders are understood Captain, Away team requesting permission to depart.
FCO_Ranahi says:
::makes the final preparations, and heads for the shuttlebay::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
FCO: Since you have acknowledged you may get started.
CSO_Jarvel says:
::allows Mister Korlak to respond for him, as it is Korlak who leads his team::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: The away teams have permission to go.
FCO_Ranahi says:
CO: Aye, sir.
OPS_Korlak says:
::nods to the transporter operator::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: I will assume there are no questions and we can now go on.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
OPS: Please turn off the link.
CTO_Jordain says:
<Armory SEC> *CTO/CSO/OPS* Armor case beamed to the planet, it's hidden in the cover-up hotel room.
CEO_Helman says:
::closes ship wide intercom::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::enters the Turbolift::  TL: Shuttlebay 1.
CEO_Helman says:
CO : intercom closed
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CEO: Thank you.
CEO_Helman says:
::nods::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*FCO*: I expect you to keep in contact at all times.
OPS_Korlak says:
::disappears in a swirl of particles with the rest of his team as the operator waves his hand across the panel::
FCO_Ranahi says:
*CO* Aye, sir.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*OPS*: Keep contact with the ship, holler out immediately if you have trouble.
CEO_Helman says:
::goes over to SCI console, and monitores scans::
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::materializes on the planet and pulls his tricorder from its holster, opening it with a crisp flick of the wrist::
CTO_Jordain says:
@::Appears on the surface::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::sits back and tries to relax, she is now totally unsure of her orders::
OPS_Korlak says:
@::Gazes out at the front of the hotel that will be their base as he rematerialises::
FCO_Ranahi says:
::enters the shuttlebay, runs to the shuttle, and makes the final preparations for take-out::
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> FCO: Welcome sir.. TL delay?
OPS_Korlak says:
@ CSO/CTO: I suggest we begin by checking the spaceport records for any Bolians who arrived or departed recently.
CTO_Jordain says:
@OPS: Indeed.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*FCO*: Let me know the instant you have visual and be careful Mr. Ranahi.
FCO_Ranahi says:
TAC8Leader: Only from the Captain.  You have your orders.
FCO_Ranahi says:
*CO* Yes, sir.  We're ready for departure.
OPS_Korlak says:
@ CTO: Are we covered under Starfleet security regulations to request access to the records?
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> FCO: We have? All I know is that we were on this little ship, waiting for you..
CTO_Jordain says:
@OPS: You should be.. the CSO and myself only in case of a security breach..
FCO_Ranahi says:
TAC8: We're following the trail of a Bolian vessel.  Now saddle up!
CEO_Helman says:
::looks at scans of Risa::
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader> ::Smiles widely:: FCO: Aye sir!
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*FCO*: You have my permission to leave.
CSO_Jarvel says:
@OPS: It still concerns me that the Risans seemed to act as if they did not want us here over the comlink ... extremely uncharacteristic of them.
FCO_Ranahi says:
*CO* Aye, sir.  ::closes the link::  Self: Like I need it.......::engages thrusters, and opens the shuttlebay door::
CTO_Jordain says:
@::Looks around to see if they don't stand out too much::
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::slips his tricorder back into its holster as he walks with Korlak and Jordain::
OPS_Korlak says:
@ CSO: Agreed. They may have reasons to keep the information from us, therefore I suggest we go to the spaceport in person and attempt to assertain whether they are hiding anything.
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::grumbling to herself after all the brouhaha::
CEO_Helman says:
::hears grumbling from the middle of the bridge::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
All: I will be in my ready room for a bit
OPS_Korlak says:
@ Team: Does anyone know how to get transport around this planet?
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
CEO: You have the bridge
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::heads into the ready room and makes a beeline for the replicator::
CEO_Helman says:
CO :  aye sir
Host Ian says:
ACTION: At that point a transport shuttle (ground vehicle) passes them on the street
CEO_Helman says:
::stays at SCI console::
CTO_Jordain says:
@OPS: Some decades ago, there used to be floating vehicles to bring people around, but that's indeed .. decades ago..
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
Replicator: Two non aspirin pain relievers and a glass of water please
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::looks from Korlak to the car:: OPS: Perhaps this conveyance can be of assistance?
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::Looks at the others:: We will commandeer that vehicle!
CTO_Jordain says:
@::Arches brows:: Self: My oh my..
FCO_Ranahi says:
%::enters deep space, and sets off to follow the Bolian::
CEO_Helman says:
::monitors the planet::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::gulps the pain killers and the water::
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::Strides out in front of the shuttle, and waves his hand in the air, while pointing to his commbadge::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::she sits down in one of the chairs and rubs her temples, willing her headache to go away::
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader>%::Watching Rahani closely:: FCO: Seems like you've done this often, hmm?
Host Ian says:
ACTION: On the runabout, the sensor panel blinky lights [tm] begin to blink
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::observes Korlak hailing the vehicle:: CTO: I hope that Mister Korlak is aware of the force to weight ratio that exists if he is struck by that vehicle.
FCO_Ranahi says:
%TAC8: With limited success, yes.....I'm not one for landings, I'm afraid.  ::turns round and smiles sheepishly::
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader>%::Eyes go wide, just sits there for a moment::
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::waves harder as the shuttle approaches::
FCO_Ranahi says:
%::turns back to the viewscreen and smiles to himself, got the response he was after::
CTO_Jordain says:
@CSO: Hmm.. my guess is he isn't.. want to place a bet?
Host Ian says:
ACTION: On the runabout, the sensor panel blinky lights [tm] continues to blink
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader>%::Spots the blinky light [tm] and presses some buttons::
FCO_Ranahi says:
%::tries to ignore the blinking::
OPS_Korlak says:
@::waves even harder, and throws himself onto the ground as the shuttle screeches past him, coming to a halt a few meters away::
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::pulls himself off the ground, dusts himself off, and motions to the others to get in::
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::raises an eyebrow as Korlak hits the deck:: CTO: I believe I have won our bet...
Host Ian says:
%<Computer> Sensors indicates plasma trail responding to selected parameters has altered it's course.  Now on a heading of 158 mark 36
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*CEO*: Have you heard from either team yet?
CEO_Helman says:
*CO* no sir
CTO_Jordain says:
@::Walks over to Korlak:: CSO: Indeed.. that's one hour of holodeck time transferred to you.. ::smiles and gets in::
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::climbs into the side seat of the conveyance and glances at Korlak:: OPS: Are you coming, Commander?
CTO_Jordain says:
<TAC8 leader>%FCO: Hee-haw! There they are! ::points at the sensor display::
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::limps to the shuttle and gets in::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
*CEO*: I am going off duty, wake me immediately if we get any response.
FCO_Ranahi says:
%::looks at the sensors, only to notice that the computer is right.  In horror, he turns to follow the trail::  Self: Nuts, I thought that was the Captain....
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::pulls a map on a PADD from the vehicles support compartment:: OPS: Simple application of logic should allow us to find our target.  I believe I will begin by making use of this map. I have the distance and bearing as provided by Mister Ranahi. If we juxtapose our coordinates we should be able to find our destination which lies at 284 degrees....
CEO_Helman says:
*CO* aye
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::is astonished to see the lack of a pilot, and notices a voice-control box near the front::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
::heads out of ready room and enters the TL::
Host CO_Jorgaenson says:
TL: Captain's Quarters
OPS_Korlak says:
@ CSO: Perhaps you should tell it to that ::points at the box::
Host Ian says:
ACTION: the TL moves the captain down one deck
FCO_Ranahi says:
%COM: Tal-War: Captain, I've found the trail.
OPS_Korlak says:
@ ::has no idea what the CSO told him, but hopes the box understands::
CSO_Jarvel says:
@::feels the vehicle shift into motion as he reads off the coordinates:: OPS/CTO: Ah ... quite an efficient conveyance.
