USS Vesuvius - NCC 71985

Games of Intrigue
Episode Two:  "Timing, Timing, Timing"

Host Gerry says:
The Denadan’s have executed their first successful warp flight as the Vesuvius kept a sharp eye out for at least one Breen Vessel in the area, intentions unknown.  The Denadan test vessel has traveled approximately 4 light minutes toward Galactic North and is continuing to decelerate along that vector.

Host Gerry says:
They are communicating with Radio Frequencies, so there are four minute delays between Denada and the ship.  The Vesuvius is approximately halfway in between the two transmission sites.

Host Gerry says:
For the time being, the Breen Vessel and the unidentified vessel have gone quiet, and are running silently if they are powered up at all.  There is no real way to tell, especially if they are hiding on one of the moon or asteroid surfaces in system.

Host Gerry says:

Host CO Royce says:
:: On the Bridge in her chair. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: At station. ::

SO Lane says:
:: On the bridge at her station still smiling that the Denadan’s have achieved warp. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: At engineering console on the bridge. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Heads to turbolift. ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:   I understand you have a suggestion?

General Graphtar says:
#:: Unbuckles his restrictive heavy restraints and leaves his lap belt on; looks around the cockpit of the ship. ::   All: Excellent work, everyone! Another chapter in our history...and one that you had a part in.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: At station. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: In her office completing the report from Lieutenant McDonald's physical. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: In quarters reading over paperwork. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Stops to listen. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: General: Wow...Kinda hard to believe when you think about it.

CTO Alex Horn says:
XO: Aren't you taking someone from security with you?

TO Ryan Horn says:
SO: Is the deflector dish ready?

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.   :: Finishes downloading shuttle information into a PADD. ::   I believe we can use a shuttle to warp out of the area then re-enter behind where the Breen ship disappeared.

CMO Zria says:
*CNS* Ensign Zria to Counselor Shirley, do you have a moment?

SO Lane says:
TO: Just finishing the last of the calculations.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  I am concerned about Federation technology falling into the hands of the Breen....

XO Kelson says:
CTO: I wouldn't think of leaving without some, Commander.   :: Smiles. ::   How about your new boy, Mr. Horn?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Cross checks for the Breen Energy signature. ::

General Graphtar says:
#:: Smiles and checks the gauges over once more. ::   OPS: Status report.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: We could be in and out before anyone could have a chance to complete a scan.

CNS Shirley says:
*CMO* Counselor Shirley here, how can I help you Ensign Zria?

Host Mission Control says:
%COMM:  Denada One:  Well done, gentlemen!  You may begin return vector at sub-light speeds.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Looks over to the TO. ::   TO: You up for an away mission?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Checks the engines. ::   Self: Good, no problems as of yet.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: If we were quick enough, Captain, I doubt the Breen would even know we were there.

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks back toward Captain. ::

General Graphtar says:
#COMM: Denada: Understood mission control…Bringing her around.   :: Begins to swoop the ship gracefully in a 180 degree turn. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Smiles at the CTO. ::   CTO: Of course I am.

CMO Zria says:
:: Saves the report and looks at the data on her console. ::   *CNS* I've been reviewing medical files and was wondering if you would have time to complete your physical?

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Only if they keep their eyes on the shuttle decoy.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  And again, I am concerned about Federation technology falling into their hands

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Better get moving then or the XO will leave without you

CNS Shirley says:
*CMO* Yes, I will be there shortly....

General Graphtar says:
#<OPS>: General: Everything is functioning. The return trip should be uneventful.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Researches the Breen Energy Dampening Weapon. ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain...we're going out there anyway...   :: Smiles. ::   Commander Horn can drive the shuttle.  You don't want me to have to drive, do you?

TO Ryan Horn says:
CTO: The SO is finishing the last of the calculations to begin the anti-proton scans for the ships.

CMO Zria says:
:: Deletes Lt. McDonald's name from her list and saves it, then turns toward her new bonsai tree. ::   *CNS* Understood, thank you, Counselor.

CTO Alex Horn says:
TO: Understood

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Hands the Captain the PADD. :: CO: These are the coordinates I've figured.  We could send a second shuttle on remote programming as a decoy.  If anything happened, we could set it to self-destruct.

SO Lane says:
:: Finishes her adjustment to the deflector dish then returns to her sensor readings. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks quickly at her XO. ::   XO:  Um...not unless you have passed and obtained your pilot’s license, mister...   :: Smiles. ::

General Graphtar says:
#:: Nods and levels the ship out, looking out the window at Denada. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Quite impressed. ::   Arrius: Well done, Doctor...so everything has gone as planned? No hitches?

XO Kelson says:
CO: Just barely...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Slips shoes on and heads out to sickbay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   FCO:  Very well.  Set it up and inform the CTO when you are ready

OPS Chaser says:
:: Notifies zoology to replicate some Talarian Hook Spiders. ::

Host Mission Control says:
ACTION:  A Warning buzzer on the Denadan Vessel goes off...

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Then by all means...assign who you need

CMO Zria says:
:: Picks up a pair of pruning shears and begins trimming small pieces from it, shaping it in the form of a rare mushroom that she saw on Vulcan. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: CTO as pilot?   :: Tries to hide the grin from the XO. ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Let's go Commander.   :: Moves to turbolift. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
CO: I can fly the shuttle.

General Graphtar says:
#:: Glances up at the board and immediately shuts off the buzzer, glancing at the warning light. ::   OPS: Status report again, Lieutenant!

FCO Sarah Horn says:
XO: Aye sir.   :: Gets up and calls Hunter to the bridge. ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: You're with me as well, Mr. Horn.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Commander...let me keep the FCO...I've got her working on something; the TO can fly.

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Follows the XO. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Sam and sighs. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads into sickbay. ::   CMO:  I am here....

General Graphtar says:
#<OPS>: General: We're beginning to lose anti-matter containment, sir!

CMO Zria says:
:: Listens to the noises coming from the main area of sickbay as she works on her plant. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Scans the Denadan ship. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
FCO: What is wrong with the CTO flying a shuttle? I dabbled in at Flight Control once or twice

General Graphtar says:
#All: We all knew this was a chance we were taking... OPS: Can you lock it down?!

Host Mission Control says:
ACTION:  The magnetic constrictors on the Denadan warp coils are beginning to fail...

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Then I'll need a top rate pilot...   :: Looks at Ryan. ::   Sorry, Mr. Horn but I need you at Tactical in the shuttle.

CMO Zria says:
:: Turns at the sound of the Counselor's voice. ::   CNS: Thank you for coming.  How have you been?   :: Puts the pruning shears down and cleans her hands before walking over to the Counselor. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Unhooks the safety on her kut’luch. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: General: Magnetic constrictors are failing!

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CTO: Nothing, in fact having a former FCO at the helm makes my idea all the more plausible.

CNS Shirley says:
CMO:  I am doing well.

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to Hope. ::   SO: Ms. Lane?  Are your dice handy?

Host Governor Rafael says:
@Arrius: Perhaps you could share the results of our initial warp tests with the representative of the Breen Government...   :: Waves his hand at the Breen. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: Try to hold her together!   :: Shuts down the sub-light engines and checks his gauges once more. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks over to where Becca is standing and indicates the biobed nearby. ::   CNS: This won't take long; if you would lie down here we'll begin.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Whispers. ::   XO: Don't let the TO show off too much sir.  He does have more than the ability however.

Breen Representative says:
@:: Nods politely and steps forward. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Moves back down to Flight Control. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles and nods to FCO. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Sir? Oh my dice! I think I can lay my hands on them.   :: Smiles and touches her neck. ::

CEO Tomari says:
CO: Captain, the Denadan ship is losing containment.

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: General: I don't know how much longer she's going to stay together...

XO Kelson says:
SO: Then let's move out...   :: Enters turbolift. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
TO: I'll send the exit and entry vectors to the shuttle.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Lies on biobed. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  How far out are they?

XO Kelson says:
Computer: Shuttle bay 1...

TO Ryan Horn says:
FCO: Ok.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Goes back to studying her panel. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Calls her relief to the bridge and runs after the XO. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Raises an eyebrow as she reads the Breen have no blood. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Waits as she readies herself. ::   CNS: This reminds me, I suppose I should be making an appointment with you as well, for my evaluation.   :: Begins running the tricorder over Becca once she's ready. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@Arrius: Is everything all right Doctor? I don't want to keep our Breen guest waiting...

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Sits down and begins sending the appropriate information to the shuttle and the decoy. ::

General Graphtar says:
#OPS: Ops, Send modulating distress calls! Everywhere from the low MHz range to as many GHz as we can get!

XO Kelson says:
:: Holds turbolift for TO. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Checks sensors. ::   CO: 2 minutes, ma'am

General Graphtar says:
#<OPS>:: Nods and begins emitting distress calls…knowing that radio waves travel much too slowly. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Turbolift begins. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Yes...I was going to talk with you about it today anyways...

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Feels the baby kick after sensing her emotions. ::   ~~~Baby: It's okay, just relax.  He'll be fine.  Probably even keep us up all night telling us about it. ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
:: Thinks a moment... ::    FCO:  Set a course for the Denadan vessel...

CMO Zria says:
:: Watches the readouts from the biobed sensors. ::   CNS: Quite a bit of activity in your frontal cortex, you must be sensing a lot of activity throughout the ship.  :: Finishes the scans. ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Captain, I am r-reading a distr-ress call from the ship.

SO Lane says:
:: Stands beside the TO and XO looking at the floor. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   OPS:  Thank you, Lt.

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@Rafael:  Pardon...oh yes…Right.   :: Pulls up some information on the tests. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Hearing OPS begins scanning the warp ship. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: You will not find a better pilot, with the exception of Sarah better than me.

CMO Zria says:
CNS:  You can sit up now, I'm finished.   :: Plugs the tricorder into the nearby console for downloading. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Aye ma'am.   :: Lays in a course to rendezvous with the Denadan’s. ::

General Graphtar says:
#All: Everyone...The problem is out of our hands now. We can only pray that someone gets here in time...   :: Hears a conduit behind the control room blow. :: CEO: How much longer do you expect we have?

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Course laid in.

CNS Shirley says:
CMO:  Yes I do.  But nothing to worry about right now....   :: Sits up. ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Warp 1 and engage

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: I am reading engine problems on the ship

CEO Tomari says:
:: Scans Denadan ship. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: General: Not long now sir...five minutes...and I'm stressing it. Containment is going fast.

Host CO Royce says:
*XO*:  Sam, we're enroute the Denadan vessel...they are in trouble

CMO Zria says:
CNS: That's good to know.  It does seem like everything is calm.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Pulls up from the planet and engages at Warp 1. ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Ar-re we answer-ring the distr-ress call?

XO Kelson says:
TO: You have much to prove then...   :: Looks at Hope. ::   Ms. Lane here is the best I've ever seen.  Saved my life more than once with her flying...

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Yes...advise them

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: For now at least....

Breen Representative says:
@:: Joins the 2 men and bows formally. ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Stress we are on a peaceful mission

XO Kelson says:
*CO* We'll double time it then, Captain.

SO Lane says:
:: Giggles at Sam's comment. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: What about the Prime Directive?

CMO Zria says:
:: Completes the download and sets the computer to compile the data. ::
CNS: When would you prefer to complete the evaluation?  That is, when would it be convenient for you?

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and enters shuttle bay. ::

CEO Tomari says:
CO: Ma'am, from my readings, they have about 5 minutes ‘til total magnetic containment failure.

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: When you have your own ship, and you are a pirate it helps to be one of the best pilots in the galaxy.

General Graphtar says:
#All: If this fails...we won't have died in vain. We have taken a step for our people…A step that has opened so many doors. Unfortunately, it might cost us our lives.

OPS Chaser says:
COMM: Denadan Vessel: This is the USS Vesuvius, on a mission of peace, we hear-r your-r call, how may we assist you?

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Bows back at the Breen representative. ::   Breen: I believe these scans are the ones you were interested in...   :: Points him towards what the Doctor is showing them. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Follows the XO. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Any time today is fine....

XO Kelson says:
SO: Prepare shuttle for launch, Hope.

SO Lane says:
:: Quickly follows the XO to the shuttle bay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   FCO:  All stop when we arrive at the Denadan vessel...    OPS:  Prepare to beam them off if we run out of time

Breen Representative says:
@:: Looks to the screen and frowns...since he is in the containment suit no one knows that. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir.   :: Steps inside the shuttle and takes the pilot's seat. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<OPS>: General: We're receiving a high-band transmission from the Vesuvius, Sir!

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Can you assist them?

General Graphtar says:
#OPS: Open a Channel!

XO Kelson says:
TO: I don't doubt your abilities, Mr. Horn.  I'm sure you can handle anything that flies.   :: Smiles. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods. ::   CNS: Today is good for me as well.  I'll be free as soon as I save this data.

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: I need for-rty thousand kilometer-rs closur-re for-r emer-rgency beam out.

SO Lane says:
:: Brings the shuttle's systems on line. ::

CEO Tomari says:
CO: I believe so, ma'am.

General Graphtar says:
#<OPS>: General: Channel opened sir...but it’s at high band, it might be too high for us...

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Take tactical, Mr. Horn.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Looks the Breen up and down. ::   Breen: If you don't mind my asking ... what's with the helmets?

Host CO Royce says:
CEO:  Prepare your team...head to transporter room 1 now

FCO Sarah Horn says:
OPS: We'll get there.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters shuttle. ::

SO: Let the Captain know when we are ready for launch.

SO Lane says:
:: Punches the console and begins her pre flight checks. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Eyes the FCO. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Seeing that the CO is intent on answering the call, brings up all sensors and scans the surrounding areas for the ships they detected earlier. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir.

CMO Zria says:
:: Saves the data regarding the Counselor's physical and deletes her name from the list of physicals. ::   CNS: There, all finished.

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Begins checking tactical systems. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Watches sensors closely as the space between them closes. ::

General Graphtar says:
#COMM USS Vesuvius: This is General Graphtar of the vessel Denada one. Get us out of here! We're losing containment!

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: If we are answering the call, I suggest we go to Yellow Alert

CEO Tomari says:
:: Taps combadge while heading for transporter room one. ::
*Delta Team* Report to transporter room one for an away mission.

XO Kelson says:
TO: I hear you aren't to bad with reins in your hands either...   :: Smiles. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Watches the readings as the systems signal green. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::  CTO:  Make it so

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Looks back at Chaser. ::   OPS: I am doing my job Lt., you do yours.

Breen Representative says:
@:: Hopes his translator functions correctly. ::   Rafael: Our planet is much colder...we cease to function in your atmosphere

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: What is our-r closur-re?

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Brings ship to Yellow Alert. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@Breen: You see, for my people dealing face to face is a kind of...umm...   :: Waves his hands. ::   ...well, I'm sure its just a cultural thing.

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: I have been known to ride.

CEO Tomari says:
<Delta team> *CEO* Understood sir.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Slows to all-stop. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  the Vesuvius comes alongside Denada One.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: All stop Captain at 15,000 kilometers.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Well then...I do as well.  I'll have to see that as well.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* We are in position...transport your team over.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Arrives in transporter room one as the last of the team arrives. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Turns to Arrius. ::   Chief Scientist: Doctor Arrius... perhaps the Breen representative would like to see some of the other advancements we've made recently.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Takes cargo transporters quantum and locks on all transporters. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to the FCO. ::

SO Lane says:
*CO*Captain, Shuttle ready for departure.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Per-rmission to begin beam out?

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Enters the room with his colleagues and the Breen representative and sits quietly. ::

CEO Tomari says:
*CO*: Understood.   Chief: Energize.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Of course

@:: Turns looking anxious and happy to see someone new. ::
Akahr: Chief Justice... may I introduce the Breen Representative who is named...umm...   :: Turns… ::   Breen: I'm sorry, what was your name again? I'm having trouble pronouncing it.

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@Rafael:  Other advancements?   :: Thinks for a moment and then brings up more information. ::

SO Lane says:
*CO* Aye ma'am.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  The CEO materializes aboard Denada One...

CMO Zria says:
CNS: Whichever is more comfortable for you, Counselor would be fine.

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: When we have time I have a program you might like.

SO: Set course for the planet, Ms. Lane.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Motions for Arrius and Akahr to join them at the negotiations table…safety in numbers. ::   Breen: Now then, Mister...Breen. We were discussing the possibility of an alliance.

SO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir, as soon as we get clearance.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
*Hunter* Get an extra shuttle ready, just in case.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Be ready for anything, Mr. Horn.  The Breen are going to show their face sometime.

CEO Tomari says:
#:: Looks for someone to be in command. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Leans against the bulkhead near the biobed. ::   CNS: As you wish, would you like to go into the office and sit down, you might be more comfortable there.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
<Hunter> *FCO* Already done.

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: I am working on a couple of things for that.

OPS Chaser says:
*SO*:Emer-rgency tr-ranspor-t in pr-rogress.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Sits quietly as he is bidden...but is not certain he likes this new representative yet. ::

General Graphtar says:
#CEO2: What in the world are you doing here?! I said get us out of here!! Not send more!

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Sits down and glances around the table. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Runs a quick check on weapons. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Takes his seat, happy to have 3 on his side of the table and 1 on the other side. ::   Breen: You see, we the people of Denada know little of the activity on the galactic landscape. Perhaps you, as the representative of the Breen, could give us a little better understanding. For instance, what other governments exist?

CMO Zria says:
:: Notices the Counselor's reaction. ::   CNS: Is there anything wrong, Counselor?

Breen Representative says:
@:: Nods. ::   All: Our Alliance can be...mutually...beneficial...for all parties...the...Alliance will offer you advancements to your current stellar drive

$XO: Resetting for an anti-proton scan.

XO Kelson says:
$COMM: OPS: Thank you, Vesuvius...

Breen Representative says:
@ All:  Mistakes have been made...we know of mistakes...people/groups known as Federation and Romulans...met and went to war/conflict not long after meeting

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods quietly and then orders herself a mug of Vulcan spiced tea. ::   CNS: After you.   :: Smiles as she indicates the office door. ::   You're welcome to take the chair behind the desk; it is the most comfortable of the 3.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Not good Captain, it appears that a core breach may be inevitable.

SO Lane says:
$:: Sets course for the planet. ::

XO Kelson says:
$SO: How long until we reach the planet, Ms. Lane?

Host CO Royce says:
FCO: Time

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: I have a sensor lock on our shuttle. I will know right away if they get into trouble

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Hovers with her hand over the controls ready to pull out. ::

General Graphtar says:
#<CEO>: General: Thirty seconds sir!

CEO Tomari says:
#General: I won’t be able to save the ship...your damage is too extensive.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@Breen: Oh, that's awful... we'll have to be sure to stay away from the Romulans and the Confederation was it?   :: Produces a astronomical chart. ::   Breen: Would you be willing to give us a rough sketch of the 'danger areas' in space? Areas we should generally avoid...of course, if we cement our alliance we'll have the power of the Breen behind us.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: 30 seconds.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* You have a core breach in 30 seconds...is everyone ready to transport back over?

$XO: Checking all high and low band frequencies sir.

Breen Representative says:
@:: Looks to chart. ::   All:  Mistakes happen often when people/groups meet...the Breen Alliance would give/share all knowledge of "danger" areas as you mentioned.   :: Steps up to map. ::

*CO*: Captain, our guests are aboard.

CMO Zria says:

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Looks dubiously around the room...he's heard all this diplomacy tripe before. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Nods and engages engines away from the vessel. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
$:: Hits a button. ::   XO: Channel open.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@::nods:: Breen: Yes, I can imagine that when two species meet for the first time... such as we are now...there are many opportunities for misunderstanding.

CMO Zria says:
CNS:  I decided to join Starfleet while studying at the Vulcan Science Academy.  S'lek, a friend of mine there had been accepted and talked incessantly about it.

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Curious as to why the governor is so eager to accept the offer without meeting any of these other people. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Sighs with relief as he gets taken off of the doomed vessel. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  The Federation Shuttle is picked up by planetary radar and contacted in the 1200MHz range

XO Kelson says:
$COMM: Denadan Government Representative: We represent the Federation of Planets and congratulate you on your achievement of warp.  We ask to have the pleasure of meeting you face to face.

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: We have an incoming message.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: We are clear and heading back to Denada Captain.  Standard orbit or back to our former "hiding" status?

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Continues to keep a sensor lock on the shuttle. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: How long you been in Starfleet?   :: Rolls head around. ::

CMO Zria says:
CNS: His mother helped get me accepted and sponsored me, while S'lek helped coach me through some of my weaker areas.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Turns to the general. ::   General: If you would follow me, I'll take you to see the captain.

SO Lane says:
$:: Turns and looks at Sam. ::   XO: Go get 'em cowboy!   :: Smiles and looks back to her panel. ::

Breen Representative says:
@:: Looks to map and moves head in agreement. ::   All: Species are all very different...This area…   :: Points. ::   …is claimed by Federation....
:: Points here. ::   Here is Romulan claim area

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Standard orbit, Commander...we've tipped our hand, so why hide now?    :: Smiles at the FCO. ::

XO Kelson says:
$TO: Let's hear it...

General Graphtar says:
:: Nods and follows the CEO. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: So you like the medical field the best?

TO Ryan Horn says:
$:: Switches to the proper channel. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Any readings concerning the other two vessels, Cmdr?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Exits transporter room two and heads for the turbolift. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Sees the areas he's marking. ::   Breen: Oh my...we're quite near Federation space.   :: Frowns. ::   Arrius: I'm surprised we haven't been visited by them, if they are as dangerous as our Breen friend suggests.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Aye sir, but we still don't know what happened to the Breen.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Nothing yet, but I am keeping my eye open

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Takes in the magnitude of the area indicated and has his doubts. ::

SO Lane says:
$:: Listens to the incoming comm. ::

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Nods in agreement. ::

CEO Tomari says:

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  I'm sure you'll keep a watchful eye, Cmdr

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Glances over her shoulder at the CO, smiling, before setting standard orbit. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
$:: Listens to what the puppies have to say. ::

Breen Representative says:
@:: Nods. ::   Rafeal: They have strange...customs...we do not claim to...understand the minds of Federation

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Notices something interesting as the Breen representative draws on the map. ::   Breen: Hmm...Federation space is quite a bit larger than Breen space...isn't it.   :: Glances at the Chief Justice. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Smiles at the COs comment. ::

CMO Zria says:
CNS: I entered the academy 6 years ago and followed my studies there with time at Starfleet Medical.  I left Starfleet Medical for my first assignment less than a year ago.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
%COMM:  UNIDENTIFIED Shuttle:  This is Denada Mission Control.  Please identify yourselves.  

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Nice job, Cmdr.   :: Raises her voice for all. ::   ALL:  Nice job everyone.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Has the shuttle reached the planet yet?

FCO Sarah Horn says:

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Exchanges glances with the Governor...he saw it too...thinks we should get one of these Federation people in here to talk. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: So is this your first assignment?

SO Lane says:
$XO: You're on Commander.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: It is about to enter orbit Ma'am

XO Kelson says:
$COMM: Denadan Mission Control: Again, we are representatives from the Federation of Planets.  We come in peace and wish to offer our congratulations.

General Graphtar says:
:: Follows. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands as the CEO approaches. ::

CEO Tomari says:
CO: Captain, This is general Graphtar, from the Denadan people.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Keep close eye on her too, Cmdr.

CTO Alex Horn says:
Aye Ma'am

CEO Tomari says:
:: Motions to the general. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
$:: Whispers to the XO. ::   $XO: Introduce yourself sir.

Breen Representative says:
@:: Nods. ::   Rafael: Our area of space is also...growing in...Galactic...northerly direction...our...resources...do no permit to explore often considering our...Homeworld.   :: Points to suit for clarification. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Extends her hand. ::  Graphtar:  I am Captain Royce of the USS Vesuvius.  We represent the United Federation of Planets.

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  How are your people?

CMO Zria says:
:: Shakes her head slightly. ::   CNS: No, my first assignment was to the USS Apache as Science Officer...things happened of a personal nature that I found myself needing to transfer.  That is when I was assigned to the Vesuvius.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
<Mission Control> %COMM:  Federation Shuttle:  We thank you.  Please come to course 123 mark 4 and follow your escort fighter.  We'll bring you in.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Turns to look at Graphtar and opens her mind a little to see what she senses. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  Atmospheric fighter craft flank the shuttlecraft at a respectful distance as escort

XO Kelson says:
$COMM: Denadan Mission Control: This is Commander Sam Kelson of the USS Vesuvius.  We will follow your instructions.   :: Motions to cut line. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  I'd like to congratulate your people for achieving warp flight

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: That was friendly enough.

SO Lane says:
$:: Hears the new coordinates and makes the course change. ::

XO Kelson says:
$SO: Take us in, Ms. Lane...

General Graphtar says:
:: Snarls slightly and takes the Captain's hand. ::   CO: Thank you…for the rescue, Captain.

SO Lane says:
$XO: Aye sir, course laid in.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Ships have intercepted the shuttle. It looks like they are escorting the shuttle in

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Do you feel that this is a step up since you had been transferred?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Looks to the captain. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to the CTO. ::

XO Kelson says:
$TO: It's all about being good neighbors, Mr. Horn.  The old golden rule...

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: I haven’t met any new species in a long time.

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Please, be my guest on the bridge.   :: Motions to the chair to her right. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Nods and looks at the refrigeration suit. ::   Breen: Yes, I would imagine that is quite an inconvenience. I am curious Mister...Breen, if the Breen get so little opportunity to explore, why have you chosen to contact us here on Denada.   :: Points towards the windows. ::   Breen: Clearly our climate would see inhospitable for you.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  An aide steps into the Governor's chambers and whispers a message in the Governor's ear...

SO Lane says:
$:: Sees the fighter from the window. ::   $XO: We have our escort in tow.

XO Kelson says:
$TO: Good!  This is our second Canine species in a row...   :: Smiles. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Hears the message and gives the aide a look, thinking he is joking. ::

CMO Zria says:
CNS: It has been a change, but I see both crews as equally talented.  I will admit that I find myself more at ease within the medical field though.

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Glances over at the aide. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@::Turns back to the Breen waiting for a response. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Commander, advise the planet of the status of their vessel and that we have their people safely here.

XO Kelson says:
$:: Leans over flight seat. ::   $SO: Sure you can stay with them, Hope?

General Graphtar says:
:: Sits down in the chair and looks around the clean bridge. ::   CO: I suppose this ship has a...class. Does it not?

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Continues with her scans. ::

Breen Representative says:
@:: Nods. ::   Rafael: Times...change...we require...opportunities to...co-operation.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Yes, indeed.  This vessel is a Galaxy class starship.  Our mission is one of peace and exploration.

CMO Zria says:
CNS: Rather than Science or Flight.  I know that sounds strange after having admitted to studying at the Vulcan Science Academy.  However, I often found it to be a struggle to follow their pure logic in many instances.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Walks up the command deck and takes the engineering console. ??

SO Lane says:
$:: Whispers. ::   XO: Let them try and lose me. I have my lucky dice remember?

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Is also interested in the Breen's hesitation...sometimes it's hard to separate what he knows about the criminal mindset...sighs. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: I see.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Stands and smiles pleasantly at the Breen representative. ::
Breen: Well, Mister...Breen, I appreciate you taking the time to talk with us. I'm sure there will be many more meetings like this one... but for the moment a matter has arisen that I must immediately address. I would appreciate if you would remain in the capital though, as my guest.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Attempts to open a channel to the planet and informs them of the situation and the status of their crew. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Stands as the Governor does. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: I remember when I first met the Barlians; I was the first human they ever saw.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Indicates the Chief Justice and the Chief Scientist should raise as well...bows deeply to the Breen Representative, and turns to leave. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  It must be an exciting time for you people.  How long have you been preparing for this day?

XO Kelson says:
$TO/SO: Okay...When we land.  Lock up the shuttle and don't forget where we parked!

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: That really don't sound strange...   :: Looks around and rubs arms with my hands. ::

Breen Representative says:
@:: Raises. ::   Rafael: I…do…not…understand...we had…dialogue....   :: Looks confused even thought he has suit. ::

SO Lane says:
$:: Stays with the fighter all the way to the assigned vectors. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Message has been sent. Awaiting response from the planet

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Can you slave OPS to your console?

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Stands up and watches the governor start to leave. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Ever since our people obtained the ability to fly, we have been searching for more ambitious goals in the sky.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Thank you, Cmdr

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: I hope we don’t need change for the meter.

CMO Zria says:
CNS: Are you cold, Counselor?  I can have the temperature raised to a more comfortable level for you.

XO Kelson says:
$:: Looks at dice::   $SO: Yes you do...

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
ACTION:  The Shuttle is guided to a well-groomed landing site near a large white building in the center of a large city.

SO Lane says:
$:: Looks at Sam. ::   XO: Voice of experience sir?

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Stops before leaving. ::   Breen: Oh don't worry, we will continue to have dialogue...but right now there is a planetary matter I must address. After all, the planet doesn't stop operating just cause the Breen arrive.
:: Smiles and gives the Breen a wave as he leaves. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Then what a glorious day for your people!   :: Smiles at her guest. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Studies the Counselor's demeanor; tries to assess how she may be feeling. ::  

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Waits for the Breen to leave. ::

XO Kelson says:
$SO: Just don't want these Canines sniffing around Federation technology.

General Graphtar says:
CO: The destruction of our ship does not do our people any good. We will have to try again until we get it right. Even if no one can save us next time.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.   :: Slaves OPS to Flight. :

Breen Representative says:
@:: Activates COM and quickly contacts his ship in his maiden language. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Leaves the room with Akhar and Arrius. ::   Scientist/Justice: Would you believe that in the middle of talks with the Breen...the Federation shows up.

XO Kelson says:
$:: Looks at landing area. ::   SO:  I guess that's it...

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  I believe you will succeed next time.  Do you have any idea what may have happened to your ship?

SO Lane says:
$XO: Of course not Commander, the shuttle will be secured.   :: Looks at the
TO. ::   TO: Right?

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Just having strange feelings, but nothing bad...Just a lot of stuff going on around the ship. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@GOV:  I believe it.  What I don't believe is that Breen fellow.

General Graphtar says:
CO: We believe the flaw was located in the magnetic restrictors.

Breen Representative says:
@:: Leaves the meeting area. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: Since this is a first contact situation we should leave weapons on the shuttle.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods in understanding. ::   CNS: I see.

TO Ryan Horn says:
$SO: And yes the shuttle will be secure.

XO Kelson says:
$TO: You have had first contact experience...good.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   Graphtar:  I see.  My CEO can help you if you wish to understand and pinpoint exactly what occurred.

SO Lane says:
$:: Sees the fighter leave and the landing area lights snap on. ::   $XO: Sir, I see the landing site.  Taking us down.

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: Not as a Federation officer but yes I have.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Begins checking ship's power. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: My people must investigate the problem on their own.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Hears a commotion outside and heads out a nearby door seeing the shuttlecraft parked on the lawn out front. ::

CNS Shirley says:
CMO: Everything seems to be in order. So I am going to walk around and get my senses in order....

CEO Tomari says:
:: Smiles. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   Graphtar:  I understand.  We are available if you wish assistance.

XO Kelson says:
$TO: Any experience is good.

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Any response, yet, Cmdr?

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: The shuttle has landed on the planet

SO Lane says:
$:: Lands the shuttle like floating on a cloud. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: No response from the planet yet

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Keep a lock on their combadges.

TO Ryan Horn says:
$XO: I have talked myself out of being dinner before so I believe I can be of use.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Resending the message

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles. ::   CNS: Of course, if you need anything else, just let me know and I'll make myself available.   :: Finishes her tea and stands to accompany the Counselor out of the office. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CTO:  Continue to try to hail them, Cmdr

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Aye

XO Kelson says:
$SO: Didn't feel a thing, Ms. Lane.   :: Smiles. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Looks with surprise at the landing shuttle. ::   GOV/SCI:  I think we are about to find out if this...Breen...was entirely accurate.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Locks onto the Away Team. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Is there anything I can answer for you?  Any questions you may have?

SO Lane says:
$XO: Commander, we are there.   :: Smiles and begins to shut down the shuttles systems. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Stands and heads out of office. ::   CMO: Thank you…and I will....

XO Kelson says:
$TO: Well, I hope we won't be dinner today.  Of course, that's why I didn't bring our wonderful OPS officer.   :: Smiles. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Keeps an eye on the transporters. ::

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Studies the shuttle curiously. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Glances at the captain. ::   CO: No, not at the moment, Captain.

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Continues to hail the planet and waits a reply. ::

XO Kelson says:
$TO/SO: Follow me, then...   :: Moves out of the shuttle. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Steps forward from the crowd with his arms outstretched. ::
All: Welcome...Welcome to Denada! May I, Governor Rafael, greet you in a spirit of friendship and camaraderie!

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Follows the XO. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Giggles at Sam. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles and nods to her guest. ::   Graphtar:  May I offer you refreshment?

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Watches the events unfold in front of them. ::

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@:: Hangs at the back of the crowd with the Chief Scientist and Chief Justice watching the goings on. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Smiles at the Denadan Governor. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Come to think of it, a glass of water would be nice.

SO Lane says:
@:: Finishes her shutdown and follows the TO and XO to the hatch. ::

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Watches quietly and waits to see what happens. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles as she watches Becca walk off and then places her empty mug in the recycler. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Quickly surveys the crowd. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: Governor Rafael...It is a pleasure to meet you.  I am Commander Kelson from the USS Vesuvius and a representative of the Federation of Planets.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Steps forward examining the first humans he's ever seen. ::
All: Errrmmm...which of you leads this group?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   Graphtar:  Please, follow me.   :: Gets up and moves to her Ready Room. ::   CTO: Cmdr, you have the bridge.

SO Lane says:
@:: Steps out slowly and turns to make sure the hatch closes. ::

CNS Shirley says:
~~~CEO: Do you sense any strange questions? ~~~

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@GOV2:  Showboating again, eh?   :: Smirks. ::   We should meet them.  I want to know if they try to spin the facts like I'm sure that Breen did.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Steps forward grinning wide...goes around behind Kelson and bends over sniffing at the mans rear. ::

CEO Tomari says:
~~~CNS: Not yet, why? ~~~

General Graphtar says:
:: Stands up...thinking that the drink was going to be brought to him and follows the captain. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters her ready room and goes to the replicator requesting water, 36 degrees Celsius. ::

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ CEO:  I am just getting some strange feelings. ~~~

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@Akahr: One can never be too safe...after all, what the Breen representative told us could be true.

CEO Tomari says:
~~~ :: Opens up his mind. :: ~~~

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Stands and presents his belly to Kelson. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Laughs at the XO. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Gets the water and serves it to her guest while motioning him to please have a seat in front of her desk. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Returns to her office and completes the report on Counselor Shirley's physical and then updates her file along with Lieutenant McDonald's. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Nods to the Governor with a raised eyebrow. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@Rafael:  It is as you say.

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: I am the leader of our away team and these are my fellow officers.  May I introduce Lt. Horn and Lt. Lane.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes a seat in her chair. ::  Graphtar:  My I speak candidly, sir?

General Graphtar says:
:: Sits down and sips the replicated water...wondering how something could come out of nothing... ::   CO: Of course.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Looks at Kelson expectantly. ::   XO: On Denada it is customary to scratch the belly of your host....

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Checks her sensors for any ships in the area. ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Reaches out and scratches belly. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Leans back in her chair thinking about the images that she saw when Lennier touched her helping to keep her from falling. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Please do not be afraid of us.  We are on a peaceful mission.  We are here to observe your flight

CEO Tomari says:
~~~ CNS: All I'm getting is relief, joy, and excitement... ~~~

SO Lane says:
@:: Watches Sam scratch. ::   Self: Hmm, I must try that on Sam sometime.

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: Haven't had to do that since I was back home on New Mecca...

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Leg shakes as his belly gets scratched; shows his canine teeth to Horn and Lane before reaching out and scratching each of them behind the ears. ::   XO: Small ears...you must be a working class of your society?

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  The Vesuvius crew is comprised of many species...all members of the United Federation of Planets

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ CEO:  I guess I have more stuff on my mind that I need.... ~~~

General Graphtar says:
CO: I have no problem with you, or your mission Captain. It's the Federation that I'm against.

CMO Zria says:
:: Forces herself to push the memories from her mind as she realizes that she is secreting negative hormone. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Giggles because the governor is tickling her ear. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@GOV2:  They follow the customs you suggest?   :: Smirks. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits back in her chair, crossing her legs. ::   Graphtar:  May I ask why?

CEO Tomari says:
~~~ CNS: Understandable. ~~~   :: Smiles. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: We do work hard for a living but we have no class structure.  We consider all sentient life forms equal.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Wags his tail furiously. ::   XO: To what does my humble planet owe this distinct honor?

General Graphtar says:
CO: This is turning into an inquiry.

SO Lane says:
@:: Thinks to herself. ::   Self: Well some are more equal than others it seems.

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@:: Shrugs and barks. ::   Ahkar: They are old traditions...but it's still wise to follow custom in matters such as this. My double looks remarkably like me...wouldn't you say?

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: We come to congratulate you on your achieving warp and to let you know about our existence and willingness to help in any way.

CMO Zria says:
:: Pushes back from her desk and walks out into the main sickbay to complete her rounds...is grateful that her only patients are those that are there from over exerting themselves on the holodeck. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Head towards my office so I can write the reports and everything. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at her guest. ::   Graphtar:  I apologize if it seems that way.  I thought you would be more comfortable alone with me here where we could talk openly and in private.  I am just curious as to why you have a problem with the Federation.

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@GOV2:  Indeed he does.  And you are right again.  Where did you find this Doppelganger?

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Nods and bows. ::   XO: Ah...yes, yes...the warp experiments.
:: Looks around to see quite a crowd gathering. ::   XO: Why don't we take these discussions into our official chambers?   :: Shows them the way. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Silently monitors the activity on the bridge, ensuring everything is at it should be. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Stands with her hands behind her back watching everything with a keen interest. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: I don't believe in diplomacy as the first course of action, as the Federation seems to in nearly every case.

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: As you wish, Governor.   :: Follows Governor. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Follows the XO. ::

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@Ahkar: My Chief of Bone discovered him...apparently he was doing impressions of me at parties.   :: Sees the double is leading them into the official house and goes back inside with his aides to meet them on the interior. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Smirks. ::   GOV2/SCI:  We should discover ourselves to them.  Sport is one thing, but this is official state business.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Looks back at TO and SO and raises eyebrow and smiles. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  If you are a part of the military, I can understand that.

SO Lane says:
@:: Follows the Governor and the Commander in the rear. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Nods. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  But let me assure you, we do only have peaceful intensions.

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Smirks at the XO clearly hiding hysterical laughter. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Walks with the newcomers. ::   XO: And what government is it that you represent?   :: Waves half a dozen Pit Bull security officers away. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Walks with SCI and GOV2 to the official meeting room. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Once again, Captain. I have no problem with you, your crew, or your mission. It's the Federation that I am opposing.

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar: The Federation believes in a peaceful allegiance, where all of the citizens are equal.  Information is shared for the benefit of all.

Chief Sci Arrius says:
@:: Trails along behind, thinking quietly. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: It's called the Federation of Planets.  We have hundreds of members…All equally represented in our government.

General Graphtar says:
CO: That is a culture that I would rather not be a part of.

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@:: Makes his way to the main foyer, where his doppelganger will soon bring the Federation representatives. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Watches the sensors as the Away Team moves away from a large group. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@SCI:  What do you think, Arrius?

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  Why?

SO Lane says:
@:: Leans over to the TO. ::   TO: Interesting place don't you think?

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Nods his head excitedly as his tail continues to wag. ::   XO: I see...I see...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Tilts her head in curiosity. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@SO: I must remember to put this place on my vacation list.   :: Said sarcastically. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Gov: How is your government set up?  You mentioned classes?

General Graphtar says:
CO: Because what is leadership without the strong hand of a dictator? Without one ruler, and without one goal, things get confusing, and when things get confusing, people make mistakes. The Federation has made its share of mistakes. I'd rather solve things on my own accord, using my methods.

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  I will admit the Federation has made its fair share of mistakes, however, we do learn from them.  With a dictator, there is no democracy...no representation of the people

SO Lane says:
@:: Smiles. ::   TO: Good thing that all of us aren't allergic to furry new contacts.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Sam sneezes. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Graphtar:  I am curious how you know so much about the Federation...?

TO Ryan Horn says:
@SO: If that was the case we would all have problems with Chaser.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Thinks about it as they move up the steps. ::   XO: We do have a caste system that has functioned...literally millions of years. It serves us well.

SO Lane says:
@TO: I take that back.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Receives the power report from their Warp run. ::   Self: Hmm, not bad.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Nods in interest. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Passes through the doors to the main building, leading the Federation officers into its interior main foyer. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@SO: Could you see the excitement if she were here?

Host Governor Rafael2 says:
@:: Sees the Federation Representatives come through the door. ::
XO: Commander Kelson, I am Governor Rafael...it is a pleasure to meet you and your fellow officers.   :: Presents his paw to shake as he saw the Commander do earlier. ::   XO/All: I hope you will accept my apologies for the deception, but on occasion it is necessary in exposed areas.
