U.S.S. Tal-War
10312.06
“Technology, pt. 5”

Host Chris_N says:
U.S.S. Tal-War mission, Technology Part 5.  Stardate 10312.06.

Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  The Tal-War has retrieved the senior staff from the Runabout and has begun its assistance to the needy people of Juyun.

Host Chris_N says:
During their investigation into the plague that has infected a small region in the Northern Hemisphere, the Tal-War has noticed the arrival of another one of those “Space Fold” capable vessels that is apparently manned by the very people who stole the crashed vessel to begin with.

Host Chris_N says:
They claimed to have come to retrieve the super weapon from the wreckage before their “oppressor” government tracks the ship here.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
COMM: Alien Vessel: The ship isn't there?

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::plays innocent::  Comm: It was there a minute ago....  SO: Mr. Shack..  Surface scan....

SO_Shack says:
CEO: The infected area appears to be very radioactive

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I don't recommend getting into a fight with these guys, their weapons are far superior to ours.

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CEO: Don't play with us.  You know it is not there.  Where is it?

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::nods to the TO::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Comm: AV: Give me a moment to consult with my Science Officer....  

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to OPS::  OPS: Mute.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Send your data to sickbay.  Maybe they can devise a cure.

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CEO: I give you 20 seconds.

OPS_B`lee says:
::mutes the com::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Captain.....   I hope you have something up your sleeve.

SO_Shack says:
CO: Acknowledged

OPS_B`lee says:
::mutters:: Self: How generous of him...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Let's try honesty.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Reopen the channel

OPS_B`lee says:
::reopens the channel:: CO: Aye sir...

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands to the left of the CO, kinda in back::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  This weapon was on the ship that crashed?

TO_MacAllister says:
::scans the ship for any weak points::

SO_Shack says:
::Sends the known info about the radioactive area to sickbay::

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::shuffles in his seat beginning to look restless::  COMM: CO: YES!  ::the raised voice of the large alien echoes throughout the bridge::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Oh.  Well... a fleet of your vessels came and recovered it.  Perhaps you can track them?

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::yells::  COMM: CO: WHAT????  ::turns to someone off camera::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::whispers::  CEO:  As soon as we get rid of these clowns let's investigate that plague area.

OPS_B`lee says:
::jumps a little at the raised voice of the alien::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Are you having some sort of political problem we should know about?

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Aye....  ::moves over to the ENG station and stands ready::

TO_MacAllister says:
::whispers:: CO: What about the weapon?

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: That other man thing said he thought there may be a way we could help each other.  Something to do with our technology making the planet sick?

SO_Shack says:
::Whispers to the CO:: CO: Remember that tricorder we have hidden?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  See if you can find its signal.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  I'm afraid they may have dumped it.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Yes.  Some sort of unexplained plague seems to have broken out.

SO_Shack says:
::Keeps on the whisper:: CO: We couldn’t so far, but maybe if we tell them it's frequency maybe they can

TO_MacAllister says:
::whispers:: CO: What about my tracking device as well, we don't know what part of the ship we were in, it might have been the weapon its self.

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: Then how do you propose to help in return?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::whispers::  SO:  Good point.

SO_Shack says:
::Transfers the data to the CO console::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  It seems we accidentally left some of our equipment on your crashed ship.  Perhaps you could use its transmission to track it down?

OPS_B`lee says:
::thinks, accidentally left? Now we sound scatter-brained::

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::raises an eyebrow::  COMM: CO: Then let's have it and I'll see what I can do about the planet.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Send the frequency to them.

SO_Shack says:
CO: Aye ::Sends the info over to the Alien vessel::

OPS_B`lee says:
::gives the science station access to the data transfer channels::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Send them the medical information we have about the plague as well.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Can you sort of slowly and casually adjust our orbit to take us over the plague area?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Sure

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::sees the info come over his console and waits for a response from his Science Officer::  COMM: CO: It seems we have also detected our weapon on the planet's surface.  It's being held in some sort of heavily guarded facility.  Due to the nature of this weapon, we believe it to be the source of your plague.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::grumbles to self::

TO_MacAllister says:
::runs a few molecular scans on the aliens shields::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Get Ministor Intor on the line and find out what's going on down there.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM: Alien Commander:  We'd appreciate some help in treating the symptoms.

TO_MacAllister says:
::notices that the shields are down and runs scans on the shield generators::

OPS_B`lee says:
::transfers the medical information to the alien vessel while hailing Minister Intor::

SO_Shack says:
::Whispers:: CO: Ask them to transfer the data to us

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the SO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: I just heard back from my assistant, we have tracked our ship.  Due to your honesty in the situation, we will help you.  ::nods to a man off screen::  We are sending you the medical data in treating the sick.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  When that comes through send it to sickbay.

Host Chris_N says:
::the screen goes into split screen mode:: <Intor> COMM: Tal-War: Yes.... What is it?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::would really really like to find out more about this weapon::

FCO_Shania says:
::adjusts orbit::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Intor:  Our new friends here tell us your people have picked up some debris and are holding it in a secure area.  Is this correct?

OPS_B`lee says:
::receives the information from the alien vessel and transfers it to sickbay::

Host Chris_N says:
<Intor> ::notes the new alien face on his screen:: COMM: CO: I don't know what you are talking about Captain.  ::trying to look innocent::

TO_MacAllister says:
::whispers:: CEO: Hey Commander, come and have a look at this.

SO_Shack says:
::Looks at view screen and gets annoyed::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the TO::  TO: What's up?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Intor:  It's likely the cause of your plague.  We want access to it now.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looking over the TO's shoulder::

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander>::looks extremely angry at the Ministor's response::

SO_Shack says:
::Whispers to the TO:: TO: Have you found the location of the secured site?

TO_MacAllister says:
::points to his console and whispers:: CEO: This is a scan of their shield generators, what do you make of it?

Host Chris_N says:
<Intor> ::trying to think things out fast then sighs in regret:: COMM: CO: You'll find it in the southern hemisphere at a government facility.  I'll let them know to expect company.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO: Could be any of a number of things...  Are their weapons online?

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::nods to a person off screen::

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: I'm not picking up any weapon signatures.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Alien vessel darts off to the southern region

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  I need a team at the facility.  Put one together and get down there.  And mind the radiation.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Get us within transporter range of that facility.

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: Wait, There. Weapons are online but they appear to be trying to mask it.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::thinks and rubs chin::  TO: Hmmmm...  

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::eyes widen::

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: Where'd they go?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye sir ::moves ship closer to facility::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Intor:  I suggest you evacuate the facility and surrounding area as fast as you can.

SO_Shack says:
::Overhears the TO and gets worried::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Tria....  They’re running with Shields down and trying to mask weapons signatures.....   

Host Chris_N says:
<Intor> ::looks worried and closes comm::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Red alert

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over to the SO and OPS::  SO/OPS: Prepare for away duty.

TO_MacAllister says:
Self: What are they doing? CO: They're over the facility and they're scanning it.

SO_Shack says:
::Nods at the CEO::

TO_MacAllister says:
::hits red alert::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Open a channel to the alien vessel.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Move us into an attack position

OPS_B`lee says:
::reopens the channel once again:: CO: Go ahead, sir.

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: WHAT?

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: I'm picking up an energy beam being run over the facility.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Just what do you think you are doing?

SO_Shack says:
::Ready his console to be secured::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Yes sir ::brings up attack patterns::

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: Retrieving the weapon and destroying any information gathered about it.  This weapon is FAR too dangerous to have.

SO_Shack says:
::Changes mind and unsecures it::

TO_MacAllister says:
::raises shields and sets them to a rotating frequency::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Find out all you can as quickly as you can.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A fuscia tractor beam rips the roof off of the facility

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO: Source of the energy beam?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  I guess we'll have to do our best from here.  ::sighs::

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: It's coming from the ship.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Find out all you can about that weapon.

SO_Shack says:
CO: Aye

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: Do not worry yourselves.  You should be able to administer the cure from here on out with the information we sent you.

SO_Shack says:
::Scans the alien ship and tries to figure out this bizarre weapon::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Our sensors suggest your weapons are armed.  Any particular reason?

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The same tractor beam slowly brings a very large elongated object out from the facility

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Should I charge weapons?

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: Should you or anyone else try to take this from us will suffer grave consequences

SO_Shack says:
CO: It appears to be a tractor beam of some sort

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks at the view screen in astonishment::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  It is yours, Sir.  However, our job is to protect this sector and obviously your people pose some threat potential.

TO_MacAllister says:
Self: What is that?

SO_Shack says:
CO: I picked up radiation and enormous power readings

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> COMM: CO: Understood.  Do what you need to but no more.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO: Don't charge them, but bring them to hot stand by.  Shields to 100% and go to Red Alert

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: Done. ::brings weapons to hot stand by::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::grumbles to self about that stupid Intor and how if he'd told them the whole story in the first place, they could have checked this "weapon" out::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Keep scanning it.  The more we know the better.

SO_Shack says:
CO: Will do

SO_Shack says:
CO: I detect a power fall-out occurring in the alien ship

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The fuscia tractor beam begins to fade in and out

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Ready our tractor beam.  If theirs fails, we don't want that thing falling back down.

TO_MacAllister says:
::wonders if maybe it's weakening::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Alien Commander:  Problem?

SO_Shack says:
CO: They are loosing power

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::dashes over to the ENG station and establishes a target lock for the tractor::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Is that thing they are towing out of the planet's atmosphere yet?

Host Chris_N says:
<Alien Commander> ::appears on screen in a shower of sparks and people yelling in the background::  COMM: CO: The weapon.... it's it's...  ::the screen goes black::

OPS_B`lee says:
::prepares their tractor beam and locks on target:: CO: Ready here, sir...

SO_Shack says:
CO: Unknown yet captain

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Grab it!

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The fuscia beam fails and the alien vessel begins falling back to the planet's surface

OPS_B`lee says:
::activates the tractor beam, thinking this isn't such a great idea::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Be prepared to move us away from the planet

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::standing at the ENG station and begins to watch for fluctuations in the tractor::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Tal-War safely latches onto the weapon with a slight lurch

OPS_B`lee says:
CO: Captain ... two of their ships have now come to this planet and crashed. I think we can surmise that the first ship also tried to recover the weapon.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Now!

TO_MacAllister says:
::transfers power from shields::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Let's just try to move it safely away.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::moves ship away from the planet::

OPS_B`lee says:
::grumbles:: CO: ...that's what I'm worried about. ::keeps a close eye on energy readings coming from the weapon::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Tal-War begins to reach the limits of the atmosphere with the weapon in tow

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: Sir, the ship just crashed in to the facility.

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: There's nothing left.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::hopes Intor got everyone out of there::

SO_Shack says:
CEO: Suggestion; level 10 force field at shuttle bay 2 around the weapon after we beam it over

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
SO: Sounds good.  CO: You agree?

OPS_B`lee says:
All: Beam it aboard?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Beam it over?

SO_Shack says:
::Looks at the CEO waiting for response::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: We are out of the atmosphere.

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: I'll get security teams down there to stop any of our guys wandering in.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Good work.  Keep moving away from the planet.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: I think that with a level 10 force field we should be able to minimize ANY ill effect the weapon might have on the ship.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Our tractor beam still holding?

OPS_B`lee says:
CO: Our tractor beam is showing no signs of failure, Captain.

FCO_Shania says:
::moves the ship further away::

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I just picked up 4 Starfleet vessels entering the area.

SO_Shack says:
::Still looks at the CEO and CO::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Understood.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Full stop.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: 1 sovereign, and 3 Defiants.

OPS_B`lee says:
::doesn't understand what they've just witnessed::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: On screen appears a Sovereign and three Defiant class vessels

SO_Shack says:
::Looks at the screen::

OPS_B`lee says:
::receives an incoming hail:: CO: Captain .. we're being hailed by the Captain of the USS Hyperion.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I recommend they keep a safe distance.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Can you be sure this weapon isn't armed?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Open the channel

OPS_B`lee says:
::nods and opens the channel::

Host Chris_N says:
<Captain Dickinson> COMM: CO: Captain Alfred Dickinson of the USS Hyperion, we're here to assist in the plague Commander.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Current scans indicate that it's not armed, but as soon as it passes through the buffer, any arming mechanisms should be rendered useless.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Should be?

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: I don't like the sound of that.

SO_Shack says:
::Nods with agreement::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Dickinson:  We have some data on the plague.  Permission to transmit it to you?

Host Chris_N says:
<Captain Dickinson> ::hears one of his staff off screen and turns back::  COMM: CO: I see you have some form of alien technology Captain.  ::grins::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: I'll go to the Transporter room and personally monitor the transfer.

TO_MacAllister says:
CEO: Can't we just beam the arming mechanisms off the weapon?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Dickinson:  Yes we do.  However, another alien ship just crashed in the south, and we have a plague in the north.  I'd appreciate you putting your efforts into those.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  I sure hope you know what your doing Commander.  Go ahead.

SO_Shack says:
CO/CEO: My scans indicate that it would be safe to beam the weapon over under a level 10 force field

Host Chris_N says:
<Captain Dickinson> COMM: CO: You've got it Captain.  ::nods to someone off screen and the Comm closes::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
TO: We can't be convinced that they won't start some sort of self-destruct if we remove them.  Didn't you take incendiary containment at the Academy? ::heads for the turbolift::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the SO::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the TL and heads to the transporter room::

TO_MacAllister says:
::Mutters:: CEO: No actually.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*CEO*:  Let us know when to cut the tractor beam.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the transporter room::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The four Starfleet vessels take on a holding pattern over the northern hemisphere and transporter signatures can be detected from the Sovereign class Hyperion

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
*CO* Understood.....

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::begins tapping in coordinates into the panel:: *CO* Coordinates entered....   

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::sends the command to erect the force field in the shuttle bay following transport::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.

TO_MacAllister says:
::erects a level 10 force field around the weapon::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Level Ten Force field erected in Shuttlebay

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
*CO* Release tractor

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks over at the OPS officer glad he's not sharing his opinion about the wisdom of this plan::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  You heard the man.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::energizes the transporter:: *TO* Stand by on the force field.....

OPS_B`lee says:
::nods at the Captain and reluctantly releases the tractor beam::

TO_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Recieved.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS/FCO:  That was nice work, both of you.  Whatever happens next, just remember you might have just saved a planet.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::monitoring transport to insure that the arming mechanism has been disabled before releasing from the confinement beam"::

OPS_B`lee says:
::has trouble sharing the CO's enthusiasm::

SO_Shack says:
CO: I think that further precautions should be made and I suggest that we evacuate this deck just to make sure

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The weapon is beamed to the shuttlebay

TO_MacAllister says:
SO: Do you reckon we could fit another one round that John?

FCO_Shania says:
::has no clue what she's done::

SO_Shack says:
TO: I think you are right

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
*CO* Weapon is secure.....

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::exits the transporter room and heads back to the bridge::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*CEO*:  Understood.

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
Thinks to self:  Now what?

TO_MacAllister says:
::tries to fit a second level 10 force field around the weapon::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the CO::  CO: Now what?

SO_Shack says:
::Hopes that this mission would finally be over::

OPS_B`lee says:
::looks at internal scans of the cargo bay:: All: You don't suppose this thing can make me a decent cup of cappuccino, would yah?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CEO:  Learn what we can about it.  See if there are any survivors of the crash.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::chuckles::

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Aye..

CEO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles::  OPS: Yeah... If you like it extra crispy.....

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I recommend getting out of here before any more of them come for this thing.
