U.S.S. Vesuvius – March 21, 2000

Host AGMKris says:
The Ferengi government has abandoned their mining operation on the moons orbiting the planet Miasma. These mines are rich in dilithium deposits and it is believed that these deposits remain in abundance and have not been mined out. The U.S.S. Vesuvius is to investigate the status of the abandoned mines, report the status to Starfleet Command...

Host AGMKris says:
...and await further orders. Background information to follow.  This by order of Starfleet Command.

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: Is that a French name?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia  (CompWorking.wav)

CEO_Davis says:
EO: I'm Lieutenant junior grade William Davis, Chief Engineer.  I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself yet.

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  Congrats on your promotion Sam, or do I need to call you lieutenant now?  ::jokingly::

Host CO_Alar says:
Bridge: All departments report, please.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:Planetary and moon scans show exactly what’s on file, nothing out of the ordinary.

CMO_Tigs says:
*CO:: SB here and ready Ma’am

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Abandoned mines on all 5 moons, and one cold planet.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: If the Ferengi left these moons, we should consider them dangerous at the least.

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson:Once we are in orbit, prepare an away team, and have them standing by after the initial scans have been completed.

CEO_Davis says:
::draws back hand::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

CEO_Davis says:
ENG: You're in command here until I return.  I'll be on the Bridge.

CTO_Kelson says:
::checks duty roster::

Sec_Target says:
::begins carving into the table to ensure the sharpness of the blade, he gets a dirty look from one of the other crewmen so he puts the knife away and begins cleaning his rifle::

CEO_Davis says:
::exits Engineering::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: You know, I was thinking, that anything that could scare away the Ferengi from a profitable venture, must be real scary. This could be worth investigating. Cautiously though

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I'm reading a life sign on the 4th moon.

CTO_Kelson says:
*Target* Crewman Target, you are on standby for away mission.  Await further orders.

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: Of course it is. That's why we're sending an away team.

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo: Identify.

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: I'd like you to accompany the away team, Dathan.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I still recommend caution, ma'am

CEO_Davis says:
::enters TL::

CEO_Davis says:
TL: Bridge!

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  No problem Sam.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::modifies sensors::

Sec_Target says:
*CTO*:Aye Sir

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: Your concern is noted. ::she smiles:: You need to learn to trust your fellow crewmembers, Ensign.

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  I'll want Julia to come with too.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:Sensors cannot specify Captain, I suggest up close scans.

CMO_Tigs says:
:: falls asleep on her desk in her office::

CEO_Davis says:
::door opens and he steps on to Bridge, immediately looking for the Engineering console::

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: Establish synchronous orbit around the fourth moon.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: reads, inhospitable planet, sub-zero arctic conditions, 5 moons rich in dilithium, moons barren::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Do we need a science officer and medical officer on the away team, Ma'am?

CEO_Davis says:
::enters access code in manually and activates the aft console::

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Those are customary. I'd also recommend an engineering officer.

Sec_Target says:
::continues to clean his rifle excited to possibly be going on an away mission::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I'd like to go.

FCO_Doole ::working console to set orbit:: (Console.wav)

CTO_Kelson says:
CO:  Yes, Ma'am.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: In synchronous orbit with the fourth moon

CEO_Davis says:
::hears 'engineering in the background,' but is unable to piece it together while viewing status of the warp and impulse engines::

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo: Can you identify it now?

CTO_Kelson says:
CEO: Lt. Davis.  We need a engineering officer for the away mission to the moon.

CEO_Davis says:
::turns::

CTO_Kelson says:
CEO: Any recommendations?

CEO_Davis says:
::smiles::

CEO_Davis says:
CTO: I'll go.  This situation has me curious.

CEO_Davis says:
CTO: Well, wait.

CEO_Davis says:
::rubs beard thoughtfully::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:Its definitely a Ferengi life sign.

CTO_Kelson says:
CEO: Alright, you'll head the away team.

CEO_Davis says:
CTO: I have a new officer in engineering, and I'd like to see his abilities.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:Maybe he was forgotten when they evacuated?

CMO_Tigs says:
::snores as she dreams of fighting for the Klingon Empire::

CEO_Davis says:
CTO: Why don't you take him along so he can gain some experience?

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo: It's possible.

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Open a channel.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: channel open.

CEO_Davis says:
*ENG*: Ensign Machon to the Bridge.

ENG_Machon says:
*CEO* Aye, sir. On my way. ::Exits Engineering onto TL::

CTO_Kelson says:
CEO:  If you think he's ready, by all means.

Host CO_Alar says:
COM: This is the Federation ship USS Vesuvius. We were under the impression these moons had been abandoned. Are you in need of assistance?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I am reading his location to be inside the Ferengi complex, what looks to be living quarters.

ENG_Machon says:
Computer:Bridge.

Host AGMKris says:
ACTION: THERE IS NO RESPONSE TO CAPTAIN ALAR'S COMMUNICATION.

CEO_Davis says:
::nods, happy Kelson will agree with him::

Sec_Target says:
::finishes re assembling his rifle and awaits further orders from the CTO::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:And his life signs seem elevated, heart rate and blood pressure.

CTO_Kelson says:
*Sickbay* Dr. Tigs, we need a medical officer to join the away team.  Do you have any suggestions?

ENG_Machon says:
::arrives on bridge.::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: no response from the surface, Captain.

CEO_Davis says:
::frowns for a moment, then looks to Kelson again::

CMO_Tigs says:
:: awakens ::

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Do you have a medical officer assigned to the away team?

CEO_Davis says:
CTO: On second thoughts, I'll go.  I'd like to have Ensign Machon with me though.

CMO_Tigs says:
*CTO:: what was that ?

FCO_Doole says:
CO: The Ferengi is excited about something

CEO_Davis says:
::turns and sees Machon enter the Bridge; he nods to him::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Working on it, Ma'am.

CTO_Kelson says:
*Tigs* Who's next on the away team schedule from your department?
