CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
:: is packing up his medical kit ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::looks at the main status display in Engineering and still wonders how the ship has maintained structural integrity during landing::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::steps out of the lift and onto the bridge, looking around briefly before heading for his console::
CO Capt Wuer says:
::wanders across the bridge of the Tal-War watching junior officer put finishing touches to things::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
*CO*: Doctor Ro'kar to Captain Wuer
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
*CO*: Shuttle Kor ready to get our people back to the Tal-War
CO Capt Wuer says:
::sees the FCO:: FCO: I must commend you will on reclaiming the ship.... think you'll be able to pilot of this rock?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge:: CO: Captain, I've finished up talking with Queen Anne.
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
@:: starts walking to the XO's shuttle ::
CO Capt Wuer says:
*XO*: Carry on Commander.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::taps a few commands and gains access to all flight systems:: CO: Well I got the prommie down here in one piece, I'd just like to know how what’s-his-name managed to get this one down in one piece.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
@*Away Team*: Shuttle Kor is ready to depart, please make your farewells and report onboard ASAP.
CO Capt Wuer says:
::taps his comm. badge:: *CMO*: One minute doctor.
CO Capt Wuer says:
::turns to CIV:: CIV: And how is her majesty? Do her and her people want to remain here?
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: exits the turbo lift onto the bridge ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::turns to the OPS:: OPS: Hello again Sharra.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::blinks as he remembers his official orders and heads for the turbo lift::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
@::enters the shuttle:: XO: Ready to go when you are, sir
CTO Ens Koval says:
@:: starts walking to the shuttle ::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
@CMO: Anything particular about the native's medical condition that's noteworthy?
CO Capt Wuer says:
CIV: Well commander the suspense is killing me, and I've been dead quite a few times
CTO Ens Koval says:
@*XO*: On my way, sir.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Nothing further to report that isn't already filed, Sir.
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
@ ::sits down in the seat next to the XO:: XO: Not really, sir. There are some key genetic differences between Terran humanoids and these natives but nothing remarkable
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  Hi Thalev.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: Are we going to wait for the shuttle or let them catch up?
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: I think we'll wait...
CTO Ens Koval says:
@:: arrives and enters the shuttle ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::as the turbo lift opens scans around the bridge::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: It's at times like these we could do with having seatbelts installed
CO Capt Wuer says:
CIV: In which case if these people are happy, we'll leave this in the hands of the science vessel that Starfleet is sure to send out here.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::moves towards the center seat::
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: walks over to her station and takes a seat ::
CTO Ens Koval says:
@:: takes his position at the tactical console ::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
@::glances back:: Self: Good, Sushi boy is back
CEO Ens Silek says:
CO: Captain.... Ensign Silek.... reporting for duty Sir.
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: Ensign, is everything going to be okay for launch?
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
@*Tal-War*: Shuttle Kor ready for departure, we'll be over to you in a few minutes.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
@::powers up the engines and lifts off::
CTO Ens Koval says:
@ :: thinks about all the fun he is going to miss because he didn't get a dragon ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::looks to Sharra and smiles before turning back to his console and continuing the preparations to launch::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: Commander...
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: smiles at the FCO ::
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: Yes, I'm glad you could fill the position left... anyway like I said are we systems ready for launch?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CIV: Commander...
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
@::arrives at the Tal-War and enters the shuttle bay::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: Can I ask you a question, after this one, please?
CTO Ens Koval says:
@:: exits the shuttle ::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
*Bridge*: Shuttle Kor on board.  Lift off when ready
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: makes his way to the bridge ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CIV: You can ask... whether I answer or not depends on the question.
CEO Ens Silek says:
CO: Sir... all systems are prepared for departure.... I would recommend that a complete check from the nearest star base if we do reach orbit.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Self: Oh clever... FCO: Well I was wondering what the 'X' stands for in William X Foster?
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: I totally agree.... if we get into orbit I think Mr. Foster may go in the record books for this...
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
XO: Some good piloting, sir. ::stands up and motions for them to leave first::
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: Okay commander take us up..
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CMO: looks like our Tactical Officer was keen to get to the bridge...
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: I would have said retract the landing gear but we don't have any
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CIV: With respect Commander, now is not the best time to be worrying about such trivial matters, I have to try and lift this ship which, incidentally, is not designed for atmospheric landing or flight... off the ground and try to achieve orbit.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: Here we go...
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
XO: Seems like it, he won't make very good sushi at that speed ::pretends to sigh::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: arrives on the bridge and replaces the TO ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::taps a few commands:: Self: Just like a biiiiiiiig shuttle... ::taps a couple more times on his console:: CEO: Maximum power to Maneuvering thrusters and structural integrity field...
CEO Ens Silek says:
::moves to the Engineering console and reviews the logs from the landing::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: I take it that means you don't like your middle name. That means it's probably something like...Xi-Wang or Xerxes.

ACTION:  A clinking sound can be heard from underneath the ship.  It's like the wheels are spinning in place.  Lots of dust clouds.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: He's your current piece of meat... what's his middle name, Sharra?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CIV: I strongly suggest you take a seat. ::taps a couple of other commands:: All: Hold on to something, this COULD get a little bumpy.
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: shoots a look at Idrani :: CIV:  Not now Thalev.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::notes the configuration of the structural integrity field and pauses at the noise:: 
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: We don't seem to be getting anywhere fast.
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
XO: Commander. ::bows his head and starts to walk to Sickbay::
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: monitors ships systems ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: Surely you didn't think it would be immediate Cap'n.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::nods to the doctor and heads to the turbo lift::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::taps in a few commands to increase the power output of the thrusters::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::reviews the current ascension specifications and attempts to adjust the structural integrity field accordingly::

ACTION:  Slowly the ship begins to lift.

CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
::increases his pace to Sickbay:: Self: I have a bad feeling about this. Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: Much better.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::arrives on the bridge and watches the engineering panel intently::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CEO: Status
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::sits in a spare seat::
CO Capt Wuer says:
::taps his comm. badge:: *CMO*: Doctor you wanted something? Been a bit hectic up here.
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
*CO*: Oh, Captain. Um. No, it is alright I will discuss it with you when we are on our way
CO Capt Wuer says:
::continues to stand watching Conn. and the view screen::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::adjusts vector and velocity to start moving forwards and upwards::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::attempts to make the structural integrity field even stronger::
CO Capt Wuer says:
*CMO*: Okay Wuer out.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: holds on to his console ::

ACTION:  The FCO is not high enough...He is heading straight for the mountains.

XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::looks around at the view screen::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
::arrives in Sickbay and walks straight to his office::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
FCO: um....Z axis increase?
CEO Ens Silek says:
XO: The vessel is still intact for the moment Sir.... as ship specifications do not carry procedures for what we are attempting .... an estimate on the procedure for ascension's success is not possible at this time.
CO Capt Wuer says:
::sees the mountains heading towards them:: FCO: Evasive maneuvers Commander
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
Self: Aw crap... ::makes some adjustments to the heading and attitude:: Console: Come on... get up!
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
*CEO*: It'll make it...the specs were underwritten.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Self: That Foster really needs to change his attitude...

ACTION:  The mountains loom closer and closer.

CEO Ens Silek says:
::continues to monitor the structural integrity field::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
Computer: Computer, bring up the general bridge readings on the CMO's primary console, authorization Ro’kar Beta two two three Zeta One
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: You’re cutting this pretty fine Commander ::heads back to his seat::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::pitches the ship upwards in 10 degree increments as the speed increases::
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: I could cut some of that mountain off..
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: But certainly more exciting.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Not sure if the natives would like it though.
CO Capt Wuer says:
CTO: You could do then and risk doing further damage to the city below!
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::wishes people would leave him alone and let him do his job::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::looks at the view screen and wishes the FCO would do his job::

ACTION:  the ship gradually increase altitude and just skims the top of the mountain.  The angle of the ship is not good for entering the upper atmosphere.

CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns and attempts to divert additional power to the SIF:: CO: Sir.... the structural integrity field is straining.... I do not recommend additional large maneuvers::
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
::watches the screen:: Self: Mental note, re-assess the FCO's mental ability to pilot large vessels
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: Noted... FCO: Ease her off a little then Commander, otherwise were going to cause fireworks in the atmosphere
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
CEO:  Diverting power from non essential systems.  :: taps at her console ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::makes steady changes in pitch and roll to make for the best attitude to breach the upper atmosphere::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Can't we just do a 180 away from the mountain and continue rather than try to climb over it?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: If I ease her off much more we'll never get out of here.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::hears the CIV:: CIV: Do I tell you how to do your job Commander?
CO Capt Wuer says:
OPS: Make sure you don't cut environmental control in cargo bay 4 Commander
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CIV: It would strain the torque of the sub structure and tear us apart in the atmosphere
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: No, Commander, but the crew should work together to find solutions for problems. I was simply doing so. ::rolls eyes::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods to the XO::
CEO Ens Silek says:
OPS: More power would be recommended Commander Telgar... I would rather have more than not enough.
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: lifts her eyebrow at the CEO ::

ACTION:  The Tal War slowly enters the upper atmosphere.  The view screen shows the "fire" as they continue going up and up.

FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::mutters and brings the ship to the right angle::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
OPS: Where are the flames coming from?
CEO Ens Silek says:
::makes certain than the procedure for atmospheric ascent is recording::
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: continues to tap at her console ::  XO:  It's the breach of the upper atmosphere Sir.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::slowly engages the main engines at very low impulse to give a little extra boost::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I think I'll go and check... you know... ::gestures with his head::
CO Capt Wuer says:
CIV: I think you had better check the cargo yeah...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Yeah... ::moves to the turbo lift:: I'll keep you informed, Sir.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::monitors and corrects the course and speed::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::wonders if this ascent would be of interest to the Starfleet Core of Engineers::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::orders the turbo lift to the right deck::
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CEO: How's the SIF?

ACTION:  Suddenly the "Fire" stops and the ship enters space.

CEO Ens Silek says:
XO: That we are in one piece is indicative that it is holding Sir.
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: smiles :: All:  We made it!  FCO:  Nice going fly boy.  :: winks at Will ::
CO Capt Wuer says:
::starts to clap his hands:: FCO: Well done Commander.
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
::opens his eyes:: Aloud: Oh. We made it. Thank the Prophets...
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::relaxes and makes a note to call his father and admonish him for underwriting the ship specs::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::fingers flying over the console trying to keep control over the ship due to the sudden release of outside atmospheric pressure::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks into the cargo bay:: *CO*: Captain, all fine down here... she's eating.
CO Capt Wuer says:
*CIV*: Very good Commander, I don't think the biology boys back home would have been happy if we'd damaged her.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::raises both eyebrows::

ACTION:  "She" Belches and almost singes the CIV with her fiery breath.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
*CO*: Well, I'll get another bowl of ::pauses as the dragon burps:: Pedigree Dragon ready. I think we should name her Delilah.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
::is walking past the OPS console when he notices the fire suppression notification from the cargo bay::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::not sure exactly where to go from here, puts the vessel into a geostationary orbit and sits back in his chair::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::reconfigures SIF for space travel:: CO: Structural integrity reconfigured for orbit Captain... I recommend a few moments pause to verify that all systems are in fact intact.
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: is wondering what caused the fire suppression in cargo bay 4 ::  XO:  I don't get it...what's he doing down there?
CO Capt Wuer says:
OPS: Telgar open a communication channel to Admiral Xavier.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CO: Sir, we have a fire in Cargo Bay 4, fire suppression is working
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  :: taps at her console ::  Communications open sir.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns:: XO: I do not detect any damage in that area Sir.  
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: We'll stay in orbit until you've confirmed systems, Ensign
CEO Ens Silek says:
::turns on monitors in the cargo bay::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::slowly turns round in his chair:: CO: Permission to leave the bridge Cap'n?
CEO Ens Silek says:
::blinks and stares at the monitor::
CO Capt Wuer says:
OPS: Is she on the line?
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir, but it's a little grainy.
CEO Ens Silek says:
CO: Captain.... we have..... an animal in the cargo bay.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
*CO*: Well, I'm on my way back up now Sir, Delilah seems happy enough playing with her new dragon nip.
CO Capt Wuer says:
CEO: Yes. well Commander Idrani is dealing with it.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns:: CO: Aye Sir.
CO Capt Wuer says:
::looks at the view screen:: COM: Xavier: Admiral nice to see you
CEO Ens Silek says:
::continues to verify ship's systems::
Adm Xavier says:
@COM: CO:  Capt Wuer...Where the h..........yo.......be.......?!?!  Wh......g.........on?
OPS Cmdr Telgar says:
:: tries to clear up the static ::
CO Capt Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: We've ,managed to recover the Tal-War, I presume you know the Rogers didn't fair so well
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::arrives back on the bridge::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::quietly has a junior flight officer relieve him and slips off the bridge taking the turbo lift down a couple of decks::
CO Capt Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: We managed to secure the cargo, but we need our rendezvous point?
Adm Xavier says:
@COM:CO:  Connection Bad.... ::frustrated she pulls out a PADD and writes::   Where the heck have you been? What is going on?  Why would the Rogers make itching...?
CO Capt Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: Can you hear me?
Adm Xavier says:
::Tosses the PADD over her head.::  COM: CO:  Call back later when you are closer....
CO Capt Wuer says:
COM: Xavier: That's why I called... closer to where? Where's our rendezvous point?
CTO Ens Koval says:
::hums:: Self: I love Rock N' Roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby..
Sven
@COM: CO:  I'll send you the rendezvous point in a couple hours.
XO Cmdr Quchant says:
CO: Considering the damage the ship's probably sustained due to the landing and takeoff, we should probably head to a star base at low warp
CMO Lt Ro’kar says:
::starts updating all the crew's medical records::
CEO Ens Silek says:
XO: I concur with Commander's Quchant's recommendation.
CO Capt Wuer says:
FCO: Plot a course to the nearest Federation facility  ::looks around:: Commander
CO Capt Wuer says:
Conn. Officer: Okay you plot a course.....
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: You think they'll have the Dragon saddle 3000 back at the star base?
