USS Vesuvius - NCC 71985

Games of Intrigue
Episode Three:  "Who let the Dogs out?"

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:
The USS Vesuvius has landed an away team that has been escorted to the offices of the planetary president.

Host Gerry says:
Unbeknownst to the Vesuvius crew, the Breen have landed in a remote area of the planet and have already attempted diplomatic contact.

Host Gerry says:
The crew of the Vesuvius also intervened to save the lives of the Warp pod crew when the vessel lost antimatter containment.  Captain Royce is now discussing matters of the Federation with Lead General Graphtar.

Host Gerry says:

Host CO Royce says:
:: In her Ready Room with the General... ::   General:  So you were going to tell me how you know so much about the Federation.   :: Smiles at the General. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Exits the turbolift onto the bridge, notices that Commander Horn is the senior officer at the time. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Continues setting up trauma kits and replicating items they may need. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: In office looking over paper work and sipping a coke, getting ready to head to bridge. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Stands there still smiling over the greeting ritual that Sam received earlier. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: On the bridge at engineering, watching the engines status. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps over to the CTO. ::   CTO: Alex, is the Captain in her ready room?

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: On the bridge watching OPS and flight. ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Speaking with "real" governor Rafael. ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: In power distribution on Deck 21 trying to find a blow power coupling. ::

Host Chief Justice Akahr says:
@:: Silently standing in the background watching the visitors. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Gets up and heads out of my office. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Waits patiently for the General to respond. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: I don't, really...Captain...I have been making assumptions. But they are slightly educated…slightly.

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Trying to find a moment to do some scans. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: So Governor...why the need for doubles in your government?

CMO Zria says:
:: Completes the work she was doing and heads for her office. ::

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Educated?  How?  There has been no contact by any Federation vessel until now.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: Yes, she is in there.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  There are occasionally threats made against public leaders, and I am no exception.  It is a precaution only.

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Is she alone?

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads toward the turbolift, and exits on the bridge. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Accesses the sensor readings from the surface and begins research on the Denadan's physiology. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Can't you tell when a dog is trying to dig himself out, Captain?

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: Do these threats put my team in danger or can we have your word we are safe?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Thinks. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks out on bridge. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: At her post on the bridge. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles gently. ::   General:  This is the first time we've made contact.  I was curious as to how you could know so much about the Federation.  As for a dog digging himself out...well, I don't think you would appreciate the picture in my head.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  You are quite safe here and now.  Actually, it was our thought YOU were the threat.  But I see otherwise now with my eyes.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Listens quietly to all the participants. ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Do a passive scan of the sector. I was reading a gravimetric disturbance at 146 mark 53. Is it still there?

CEO Tomari says:
CSO: I'll be in engineering, sir.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  I think you will find the Federation a fair people.  All members work for the common good for all

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods at the CEO. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: That is good to hear.  We have come in peace but there are others nearby in this area of space whose intentions are not as peaceful.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Grumbles as she climbs into a Jeffries tube, with a diagnostic tricorder. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Exits bridge and steps into the turbolift. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Continues to run scans of the area for any ships. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Continues to visually scan the area. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods at the CEO. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Whispers. ::   XO: Aye sir, I'll get right on it.   :: Moves to the side where it's a bit quieter. ::

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Do a passive scan of the sector. I was reading a gravimetric disturbance at 146 mark 53. Is it still there?

General Graphtar says:
:: Nods slowly. ::   CO: Perhaps...

CEO Tomari says:
Turbolift: Computer, Deck 21.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Oh, indeed?  Tell me more.   :: Snaps his fingers and servant Dobermans appear. ::   Attendants:  Water for all, and refreshments.
XO:  I do hope your people are able to eat vegetable matter.

SO Lane says:
@COM:Vesuvius: Lt. Lane to Vesuvius, come in please.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: Checking now sir

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Besides...we honor our word, our duty to each other, and we care for all species.  That would be evident in our rescue of you and your crew from your doomed ship.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@General: To be truthful, sir...and I wish to be candid here...I do not trust ANY of the outsiders...they are too different.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Arrives on Deck 21 and heads for the relay controls. ::

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: Lane: This is Commander Trelan. Go ahead.

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: Yes sir.  We can eat most anything.   :: Smiles. ::   Have you been contacted by any other race in the recent past, Governor?

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: Not reading anything at the present moment

Host CO Royce says:
General:  We do, however, have our adversaries...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around the bridge. ::   ~~~ Just a lot of emotions are going on
around. ~~~

Host CO Royce says:
:: Says with her voice trailing... ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods. ::

SO Lane says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Trelan: Cmdr., we have made contract with the Denadan’s, and things are going well.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Continues to crawl along her tricorder trying to find the power coupling. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: And I thank you for that.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Enters the relay control area and grabs a tool kit from the storage unit. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Interesting you should ask that.  There was a fellow here...big helmet...didn't talk much...didn't think much of you, certainly...Bones...Broods...what were they called?

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: Lane: Very good. Keep me informed of your progress.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Re-adjusts orbits controls slightly. ::

SO Lane says:
@COMM: Vesuvius: Trelan: Aye sir, Lane out.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps up to Science One, runs his fingers over his console. ::

Host CO Royce says:
General:  I could not just stand by while you and your crew died.  We are on a mission of peace and exploration...and if we can be of assistance...we offer it.

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

XO Kelson says:
@:: Ties to hide concern. ::   Governor: It wouldn't be Breen, would it, Governor?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Begins scanning for ruptured relay. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Nods. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Folds arms and frowns. ::

CEO Tomari says:
*OPS*: Help has arrived, Lt.   :: Smiles. ::

SO Lane says:
@:; Hears the word Breen and her ears suddenly perk up. ::

CSO Trelan says:
FCO: Lieutenant Commander Horn, I need a boost of power to the sensors. CTO: I want a scan done of the planet's surface. I know it couldn't have disappeared that quick.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  And again, if your people need assistance to discover exactly what went wrong, we would be glad to help you in your search.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  In fact, yes, I believe that was it.   :: Indicates the vegetable tray with dipping sauces and glasses of ice water. ::   ALL:  Please, refresh yourselves.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: Still reading nothing on my sensors

SO Lane says:
@:: Moves over to Sam and stands just off to his left and watches Rafael. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: We will complete the search on our own.

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: Interesting...We've had some run-ins with the Breen.  By our accounts, they are not to be trusted.   :: Proceeds to partake in food and water and motions to fellow officers. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Reaches down and activates his tricorder while scratching his belly, and turns around to scan the area and reaches back to turn it off. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: Aye sir, switching to planetary scans

OPS Chaser says:
*CEO*: These jefferies tubes are tr-reatour-rous. I need to r-replace the power-r coupling to my console.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CSO: Aye sir.   :: Pulls a small amount of power from minor systems and diverts it to sensors. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods in understanding. ::   General:  Please know that if you wish it, all you have to do is ask.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Shows no reaction, but notes the Federation crew's reactions to the Breen name. ::   XO:  He said much the same about you and your kind.  Now why would he say that?

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: But if you have met them, I'm sure they have said the same about us.

SO Lane says:
@:: Smiles and takes a piece of food from a tray. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: I understand, Captain.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Laughs at simultaneous comments. ::

CEO Tomari says:
*OPS*: Any luck yet?   :: Still scanning trying to get an exact location. ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* Cmdr, has there been a response to our hails?

CNS Shirley says:
CSO: Just a lot of emotions are going on the ship and on the away team

General Graphtar says:
CO: I think I heard you mention something about...enemies...Captain?

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Hopes this isn’t like Alpo, and takes a bite. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Begins scanning surface, beginning where the away-team is. ::

OPS Chaser says:
*CEO*: No, none.

CSO Trelan says:
CNS: I can understand that. Tensions are rather high at the moment.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@:: Pants in amusement. ::   XO: I see we are on similar frequencies.  Tell me of your Federation.  He seemed to think it was a bad idea.  I'd like to hear what you say.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  I prefer to call them adversaries.

SO Lane says:
@:: Looks over at Ryan and shrugs. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: The Federation and the Breen are not on the best of terms.  Your star system lies at the edge of Breen and Federation space.

CTO Alex Horn says:
*CO*: The away team has been in contact with the CSO

Host Governor Rafael says:
ACTION:  The Vesuvius away team is refreshed by the Vegetable tray and water provided.

General Graphtar says:
CO: And who are these..."adversaries"?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@ Self: Of course...   :: Sighs. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CTO: If you need more power, just let me know.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Localizes it. ::   *OPS*: It's near section 4-beta.

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* Do we have instructions where we can deliver their crew?

CTO Alex Horn says:
FCO: Trust me, I will hollar. Thanks for the concern

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  So...we are caught in a crossfire between your respective tyrannies?  I'm not sure I like the sound of that at all.

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: We are a group of like-minded species that believe in free expression of individual ideals.  The Breen are not as accommodating.

SO Lane says:
@:: Takes a bite and walks over to Arrius. ::   Arrius: Excellent food sir.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Smiles over her shoulder at the CTO, and then goes back to work. ::

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Your planet lays at the edge of Federation space.  You are near Breen space.  They are considered an adversary.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks around some more on the bridge. ::   ~~~ CEO: How are you? You feeling anything strange? ~~~

CSO Trelan says:
CTO: Alex, step over here a moment.

CTO Alex Horn says:
*CO*: Best place would be where the Away-team is at.

CMO Zria says:
:: Sits back as she watches the sensor readings and makes notes on a PADD, mentally going over what to report. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: We are not currently at war with the Breen and the Federation is the farthest thing from a tyranny.  All members have equal say in governing and all planets are self-governed as well.

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* We will transport our guests when we are in range.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Feels the baby give her a sharp kick. ::

CEO Tomari says:
~~~ CNS: Just a lot of tension. That's about it...You? ~~~

CTO Alex Horn says:
*CO*: Understood

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Yes, I got that impression.  Commander...Kelson, was it?  Let me ask you a question.  You asked me what made my body double necessary.  From time to time, dissidents step out of line and attempt harm to legal authority.  They are allowed free reign until they break the law.  How does the Federation handle its dissidents?

SO Lane says:
@:: Takes another bite and wonders why Arrius is not responding. ::

CNS Shirley says:
~~~ CEO: That is all I get as well. ~~~

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Broadens her search area on the surface. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Taps at his console, scanning the planet for the Breen transporter signal that he found on the scanners earlier. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Says in a calm voice, not giving anything away... ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Begins to worry as there is no response and begins making his way to Section 4-Beta. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: Yes Governor.  It is Cmdr. Kelson but you can call me Sam if you wish.  Dissidents are treated fairly with trial by jury.  Then if convicted, sentenced to a humanly run prisoner facility.  We have no death penalty.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Looks to the SO and nods. ::   SO: We are pleased that you like it...

General Graphtar says:
:: Takes a sip of his water and glances around the room. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Begins preparing an entry for the medical database on the Denadan's. ::
Self: Similar in most respects to canines, however has a more highly developed digestive tract consistent with vegetarianism.   :: Continues the report, and the checks back over it. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
@:: Takes a drink of water. ::

CNS Shirley says:
:: Rubs hands together has a strange feeling. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  An interesting parallel in our cultures then.

SO Lane says:
@Arrius: I would like to hear more about your culture. Tell me, what is your chief crop here?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Sighs. ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Turns to TO. ::   TO: Mr. Horn...run scans for any Breen activity in the area and contact the ship to have them scan the planet surface for signs of the Breen.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Taps his combadge. ::   *OPS*: You alright, sir?

General Graphtar says:
:: Sighs and looks at the captain. ::   CO: Our people know nearly nothing of the outside world, Captain...

CMO Zria says:
:: Continues to review the sensor readings and once satisfied that her report is complete, she saves and transmits it. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Looks at the SO and smells her and frowns wondering if all Federation folks smell like that. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Sam, then.  Please, call me Rafael also.  Surely there are more of you than the three in attendance here.

CSO Trelan says:
Self: OK, you little Regalian bloodworms...where are you?   :: Continues to run scans. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
Self: Hate this hide and seek. Wish we could face them in open battle

OPS Chaser says:
:: Still in the tubes. ::   *CEO*: I am fine.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Overhears the CSO and looks at him grinning. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@ SO: We have many crops....   :: Grabs a science book and turns the pages until he finds the picture. ::   SO: Here it is...

XO Kelson says:
@Governor: As you wish, Rafael.  We are similar in history but we have no caste system currently.  We just have a team of 3 on the planet but we have a ship of many it orbit above your planet.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  May I refresh your water?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Breaths a sigh of relief. ::   *OPS*: Whew...you had me worried there for a second. I'm on my way to section 4-beta…that is where the ruptured relay is located.

CTO Alex Horn says:
CSO: I show nothing on my scans yet. I will continue to broaden my search area

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and heads to the replicator. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Yes please...and could I have a bigger glass this time? I have a hard time fitting my tongue in that one.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Looks back at her controls checking for the transporter lock on the Away
Team. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Lieutenant Hilton enters the bridge, returns to the command deck. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Rafael: If you wish to visit our ship, I'm sure I could arrange that with the Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles as she realizes that she asked for a glass...and it should have been a bowl. ::   General:  Certainly.  Please forgive me.

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Many?  And would it be possible to arrange a...trip...to see this vessel of yours?  Oh, don't mistake Caste for something it isn't.  The Caste we speak of is a genetic division that defines our subspecies.  Mixed matings occur, and are accepted without prejudice.

OPS Chaser says:
*CEO*: OK, I am outta her-re.

CEO Tomari says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.

Host CO Royce says:
Computer:  Water in a bowl, 36 degrees Celsius

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  How many days until we can launch for your vessel?

SO Lane says:
@:: Looks at the book. ::   Arrius: And what is this one?   :: Points to a picture. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Smiles. ::   CO: Thank you, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Removes the bowl once it materializes, and places it on her desk in front of the General. ::   General:  My pleasure, sir.

XO Kelson says:
@Rafael: That is good to hear about the prejudice.  We can take you immediately in our shuttle if you would like?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns and orders a Raktajino for herself. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Continues watching the sensor readings paying particular attention to the readings on the Away Team now that her report is finished. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Tries not to smell her as she gets closer. ::   SO: It is a special variety of crop we use in our colder states.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes the Raktajino and returns to her desk. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Makes his way past section 4-alpha. ::

XO Kelson says:
@:: Hits combadge. ::   COMM: Vesuvius: Kelson to Vesuvius...

Host CO Royce says:
General:  We should be nearing your beam-down point soon.  As soon as you are ready, we can gather your crew and send you home.

SO Lane says:
@:: Smiles and looks up. ::   Arrius: I see, very interesting varieties you have here. Now tell me, do you have visitors from other worlds come here often?

CSO Trelan says:
Hilton: I want a continuous scan of the planet. Commander Horn is covering the sector. Report any anomalies or readings.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Arrives at section 4-beta and sets his toolkit down. ::   Self: Ok, let's get this thing working again...

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Immediately?  That is not something I'm used to!  Arrius:  What do you think, old friend?  Are you up for a little jaunt around the world?

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Aye, sir.

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks over to the replicator and gets a cup of Earl Grey Iced Tea and walks out into main sickbay. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Removes side panel and opens his toolkit. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: Thank you, Captain...This meeting has been...Nice.

CTO Alex Horn says:
*CO*: Two minutes before we are in range for our guest to depart

TO Ryan Horn says:
@XO: Nothing sir, I am contacting the ship now.

XO Kelson says:
@Arrius: I'm sure it would take less than 80 days...   :: Smiles. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles as she watches the medical team at work in their preparations and cleanup. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the General. ::   General:  It's a pleasure for us to witness the first warp flight of any species.

XO Kelson says:
@TO: Thank you, Mr. Horn.  Keep me informed.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Congratulations again to your people.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Frowns. ::   SO: To be honest...you will have to take that subject with my superior...I will not talk to YOU or anyone else about that subject.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Just watches everyone on bridge and everything. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes a sip of her Raktajino. ::

General Graphtar says:
CO: I would hardly call it a "flight", Captain...We will make a successful warp flight.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Climbs out of the tubes and sits at the console. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Please!  Contact your ship and let them know we want to visit!  And do they have news of the Flight we had?

TO Ryan Horn says:
@*CTO*: Horn to Vesuvius

XO Kelson says:
@:: Hits commbadge again. ::   COMM: Vesuvius: Kelson to Vesuvius...come in please.   :: Smiles at Governor. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Puts on her pouty face. ::   Arrius: I understand. Well what can you tell me about your world?

FCO Sarah Horn says:
<Hunter> *FCO* Ma'am, the flight crew rotation schedule is prepared.  Where should I deliver it?

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: Kelson: This is Trelan. Go ahead, Commander.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Ah, but General.  You achieved warp one.  That in itself is a huge step in the flight books.   :: Smiles at the General and takes another sip of her Raktajino. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Removes faulty relay and grabs bipolar torch. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
*Away team*: Go ahead

FCO Sarah Horn says:
*Hunter* Go ahead and bring it up here.  It's a bit quiet at the moment; I should be able to approve it by the end of the shift.

General Graphtar says:
:: Smiles slightly. ::   CO: Thank you...

FCO Sarah Horn says:
<Hunter>*FCO* Aye Ma'am.  Hunter out.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  In no time at all, you will voyage beyond your system.

CNS Shirley says:
CSO: Still nothing big happening...and just tensions are high still.

XO Kelson says:
@COMM: Trelan: The Governor of Denada has requested a visit.  Can you inform the Captain I will be bringing him and another guest aboard?

TO Ryan Horn says:
@*CTO*: I don’t get any Breen readings on the Tricorder are you getting anything up there?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Begins to repair the faulty relay. ::

Host CO Royce says:
General:  I hope the Federation will be there to assist your people in their explorations.

General Graphtar says:
CO: It has always been a dream of mine to do so...And perhaps...perhaps I was too harsh with my judgments.

SO Lane says:
@:: Takes a bowl from a nearby tray and sips the cool water. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Stares at the SO's pouty face and it reminds him of his race's mating ritual. ::

CSO Trelan says:
COMM: Kelson: Aye, sir. Do you need an escort to meet you in the shuttlebay?

Host CO Royce says:
General:  I understand, General.  We are new and different.  You are wise to be...cautious.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
<Hunter>:: Exits the lower turbolift and walks to the FCO. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Finishes her tea and places the glass back into the recycler and then leaves sickbay in the care of her team. ::

XO Kelson says:
@COMM: Ves: It might make a good impression, yes...Kelson out.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Finishes her Raktajino. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Taps combadge. ::

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Trelan to Royce.

XO Kelson says:
@Rafael: Rafael, it is done.  If you wish we can leave immediately.

SO Lane says:
@:: Enjoys the cool water sliding down her throat. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Glances up. ::   Hunter: Thanks Julie.  I'll let you know if I have any questions. :: Takes the PADD from Hunter. ::

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Excuse me a moment, General...    *CSO* Go ahead, Cmdr.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Finishes with the relay. ::   Self: Well, that'll hold for now....   :: Places the relay back into its slot. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Slurps his bowl not knowing that it's considered polite to be quiet about what you are drinking... ::

CEO Tomari says:
Computer: Activate relay 61-Alpha.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
<Hunter> FCO: No problem.  You know where to find me. :: Grins and exits the bridge. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO:  Lead on, Sam.  I wish to see this wonder of being in orbit.  Shall we require any special clothing for orbit?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
@:: Swallows and stares at the SO and unbeknownst to him his tail begins to wag. ::

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Captain, Commander Kelson is bringing the Governor and one other guest aboard. I am going to the shuttlebay to meet them.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles with a twinkle in her eye, and mentally excuses the General for slurping. ::

XO Kelson says:
@Rafael: As I like to say for any occasion...Come as you are!

Host CO Royce says:
General:  Would you care to meet the Governor?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sighs deeply. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Walks down the corridor to the turbolift. ::   Turbolift: Deck 2.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Begins reading the rotation schedule for all flight personnel. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
@XO: Then let us depart!  :: Stands and indicates for Sam to lead the procession out. ::

SO Lane says:
@Arrius: Who might answer some questions? My Federation would love to learn of your people.

XO Kelson says:
@:: Turns to SO and TO. ::   SO/TO: Time to head back to the ship people.  We are taking the Governor and his Chief with us.

General Graphtar says:
CO: I think I would.   :: Finishes his bowl and smiles. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Taps combadge. ::   *Tomari to the bridge*

TO Ryan Horn says:
@XO: Ready sir.

Host CO Royce says:
*CSO* The General would like to go with you.  We'll be out shortly.  Royce out.

SO Lane says:
@XO: Aye sir. Arrius: Sorry, we will have to talk later.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands... ::   General:  Shall we?

General Graphtar says:
:: Stands with her and nods. ::

CSO Trelan says:
*CEO* Go ahead.

XO Kelson says:
@Rafael: Just follow us to the shuttle Rafael.

CMO Zria says:
:: Leaves the lift and walks to her quarters enters and then sits down on the
sofa. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Exits her Ready Room, and looks around the Bridge. ::

SO Lane says:
@:: Moves back to Sam. ::   XO: Ready Commander.

Host CO Royce says:
General:  It's been a pleasure, sir.  My best to your people.   :: Sees the CSO. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Nods to the CO. ::

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Cmdr, the General here will go with you to meet the Governor.

SO Lane says:
@TO: Coming Ryan?

CEO Tomari says:
*CSO*: Sir, the power relay to the OPS Console has been repaired, but needs to be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Makes a note that Pilots Truman and Markinson shouldn't be on the same
shift. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps over by the captain, lowers his voice. ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Picks up the book she has been reading and reads a few chapters. ::

General Graphtar says:
:: Bows slightly and walks away. ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Hilton is running surface scans, and the CTO is covering the sector. Something's not right.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Noted Cmdr.  Thank you.

CMO Zria says:
:: Puts the book away and leaves her quarters again, walking slowly down the corridor. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
ACTION:  20 Minutes later, the Shuttle is landing in the main shuttle bay with the Governor, the Chief Scientist, and the Away Team is landing....

XO Kelson says:

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to CTO. ::   CTO:  What have you gotten so far?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Exhales as the ship finally touches down. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Nothing yet. Not even a blip.

SO Lane says:
:: Follows Sam and the rest of their guests. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Taps combadge. ::   *OPS*: The power relay has been repair, if you have any problems let me know….

Host Governor Rafael says:
XO:  You are too kind.   :: Looks at Arrius. ::   One small step for this Denadan...one giant leap for Denada.   :: Steps out into the shuttlebay...and is amazed at the size of it...

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  The CSO indicated that something was not right.  Did he share anything with you?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Tries to keep his distance from SO. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: What ever cloaking device they area using it is a good one

TO Ryan Horn says:
SO: Wait till they get a load of this.

OPS Chaser says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Tomar-ri.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   CTO:  Continue your search, Cmdr.  Keep me appraised.

CEO Tomari says:
*OPS*: No problem, Lt.   :: Smiles. ::

CSO Trelan says:

CTO Alex Horn says:
CO: Aye ma'am

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Commander Trelan...May I present Governor Rafael.   Governor: Our Second Officer and Chief Science Officer Commander Trelan Drukkar.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves back down to the command chair. ::

CSO Trelan says:
Gov: A pleasure, Governor.

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Looks around in awe at the size of everything. ::   XO:  Sam, this is...incredible!

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Wonders what the Denadan’s will think of a pregnant woman on the bridge. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles at Rafael's amazement. ::

SO Lane says:
TO: Yes indeed.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Motions to his side. ::   ALL: This is General Graphtar, the commander of your recent space flight.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes her seat and crosses her ankles, neatly tucking them under her chair. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Replaces the panel and puts his tools back, then closes the case. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Extends hand as he saw the XO do earlier::   CSO:  The pleasure is mine, Mr...?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Stares around him in close to shock. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Begins to make his way back to the control area. ::

XO Kelson says:
Rafael: I would love to personally take you on a tour of the ship after we meet with our Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Do you have anything to report?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Smiles and holds out hand.  ::   Governor: Trelan, sir.

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: So what do you think of it?

SO Lane says:
:: Whispers to Sam. ::   XO: Shall I remain here sir?

Host Governor Rafael says:
General:  Graphtar!  You old dog!  Good to see you!  What happened that you are here?

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: No Ma'am.  Everything is running smoothly.  I couldn't ask for better.

General Graphtar says:
Governor: The warp flight came to a rather quick end...and these people saved my crew and I. It's good to see you Governor.   :: Smiles. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Looks to the XO with a grin. ::   XO: Have fun?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   FCO:  Good.

Host Governor Rafael says:
XO:  Sam, you meant there's more to this ship?   :: Is shocked by the size Sam is suggesting. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Taps her fingers on her armrest. ::

XO Kelson says:
SO: Are you needed here, Ms. Lane?

CEO Tomari says:
:: Arrives at the control area and stores the toolkit. ::   OPS: All finished. Anything else I can do for you?

XO Kelson says:
:: Winks at CSO. ::   CSO: Yes...always.

Host Governor Rafael says:
GEN/SCI:  Then we owe them thanks and gratitude.  

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps off to the side and motions to the SO to approach him. ::

CTO Alex Horn says:
:: Double checks her sensor readings ensuring that she has not missed
anything. ::

XO Kelson says:
Governor: This is just a shuttle bay, Rafael.  There is much more.

SO Lane says:
:: Smiles at Sam. ::   XO: I can stay if you like sir, your decision.

OPS Chaser says:
CEO: Thank you, I so appr-reciate.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Smiles. ::   OPS: Your welcome.

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Hope, can I see you a moment?

XO Kelson says:
Governor: Shall we go see the Captain of our fine vessel?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Jumps up startled. ::   TO: I am in awe...

CEO Tomari says:
OPS: If there is nothing else, I'll be in main engineering.

XO Kelson says:
SO: Guess your immediate boss has plans for you.   :: Smiles. ::

SO Lane says:
XO: Excuse me sir.  CSO: Of course sir. What can I do for you?

Host Governor Rafael says:
XO:  Lead on, Sam.  I know I'll be lost if I attempt my own way there!

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Walks away from the guests. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Exits the control area and heads for the turbolift. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Looks at the TO in utter panic. ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Commander Trelan...I will take our guests to see the Captain.

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Hope, I need you to get to the bridge. Justin is good, but he's more of a chemical scientist....

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Aye, sir. Right behind you.

CEO Tomari says:
Turbolift: Computer, Deck 36, Main Engineering.

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: Nothing to worry about you are perfectly safe here.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves to shuttle bay doors. ::   Governor: This way please...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Lowers his voice again. ::   SO: I picked up a faint Breen transporter signal before you left the ship. I need it found.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Exits turbolift and makes his way to main engineering. ::

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Stares at  Horn. ::   TO: Where is the lavatory please?

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Follows Sam. ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: Right away sir.   :: Turns to leave but pauses and smiles over at Sam, then turns back to the CSO. ::   Understood Commander.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Grins at the SO's look at the XO. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves to turbolift. ::   Governor: If you will enter this room please...

SO Lane says:
:: Heads for the turbolift. ::

CEO Tomari says:
:: Enters main engineering. ::   ENG: Anything new, Lt?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Follows the XO and other guests. ::

XO Kelson says:
Governor: This is called a turbolift.  It will take us to any deck on the ship.  We are going to Deck 1 or the Bridge to see the Captain.

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Does as the XO indicates. ::   XO:  Of course...it seems...small.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Decides to stay put in power distribution. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Waits as the Governor steps inside first. ::

CEO Tomari says:
<Eng>: CEO: Nothing at the moment sir.

Host Governor Rafael says:
XO:  Like an elevator then.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Continues to tap her fingers on her armrest... ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: You can use the facilities on the bridge.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Stares at the TO. ::   TO: WHERE IS IT?

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Trelan to Royce.

CEO Tomari says:
Eng: Well done, Lt.

XO Kelson says:
Governor: Yes, but it can move sideways as well.   :: Tells computer bridge. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: We have one on the bridge, we will be there momentarily.

Host CO Royce says:
*CSO* Royce here, go ahead, Cmdr.

SO Lane says:
:: Giggles at Arrius and Ryan's conversation. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
XO/TO:  I think Arrius is frightened.   Arrius:  Calm down...this is a marvel!

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Captain, we are on our way to the bridge with our guests.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
Governor: IT IS FRIGHTENING!!!

Host CO Royce says:
*CSO* Acknowledged, Cmdr.

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Throws the SO a look. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Catches her breath as the baby kicks harder this time. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
Arrius:  But these people are friendly, and open.  I'm sure no harm can come to us here.

XO Kelson says:
:: Turbolift slows and group exits onto the bridge. ::

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Just a heads up. Trelan out.

SO Lane says:
:: Turns to Arrius and touches his paw. ::   Arrius: It doesn't take long sir.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Hears the FCO. ::   FCO:  Are you alright?

Chief SCI Arrius says:
Governor: I DO NOT TRUST THEM!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles as she hears the CSO. ::

FCO Sarah Horn says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.  I think the baby is sensing the tension currently on the ship.  He just reminded me of it with a good kick.   :: Tries to smile. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Smiles. ::   SCI: So, if my research is right, you are a scientist, are you not?

XO Kelson says:
Governor: I can understand his concern.  For you have just met us.  I hope we can curb the fears soon though.

Host Governor Rafael says:
SCI:  You don't trust anyone.  Arrius, Calm down.  You like that Breen fellow even less as I recall.  And try to stop shouting.  You're hurting my ears.

TO Ryan Horn says:
Arrius: I assure you as long as you are on this ship no harm will come to you. You are an honored guest here.

SO Lane says:
:: Steps onto the bridge deck and heads for science two. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods. ::   FCO:  I see.   :: Smiles. ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Captain...May I present Governor Rafael of Denada.

FCO Sarah Horn says:
:: Tries to create a mental barrier to cover the baby and protect herself. ::

CEO Tomari says:
Eng: Mr. Watson, I want you to keep your eyes on the warp engines in case we need to make a speedy departure.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods approval in Ryan's attempt to calm Arrius. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and extends her cold hand. ::   Governor:  A pleasure sir.  I hope you had a good ride up.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Begins to hyper ventilate. ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Smiles. ::   SCI: So, if my research is right, you are a scientist, are you not?

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Bows slightly and extends his hand as the XO did to him earlier. ::
CO:  The honor is mine.  And I barely knew we were moving.

CEO Tomari says:
<Watson> CEO: Aye sir.   :: Monitors the engines very closely. ::

SO Lane says:
:: Begins to check on the Breen signal Dru mentioned. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles. ::   Governor: That's the wonder of it all, isn't it?

TO Ryan Horn says:
XO: Sir he is...hyperventilating I think.

CEO Tomari says:
:: Goes to his office to begin filling performance evaluations for the captain. ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: Let's get him to sit and put his head between his legs...

Host Governor Rafael says:
CO:  It's certainly impressed me.  Pardon my colleague.  I believe he is as overwhelmed as I am.  

SO Lane says:
:: Runs a new sensor scan of the last known signal. ::

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Guides Arrius the nearest chair. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: motions Arrius to take a load off. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Motions to CO that it is under control. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Gov:  It's understandable sir.  I'm sure this is all very...overwhelming for you.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Sits in the CO's chair. ::

Host CO Royce says:
Gov:  And congratulations to your people.  Achieving warp flight is wonderful!

TO Ryan Horn says:
:: Smiles at the XO. ::

XO Kelson says:
Arrius: Do you like the feel of that seat, Sir?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks at the Denadan in her chair... ::

SO Lane says:
:: Listens closely and hears a slight pinging sound. ::   CSO: Sir, would you take a look at this, I think we have a contact.

Host CO Royce says:
Arrius:  Comfy?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Steps up to the science console. ::

Host Governor Rafael says:
CO:  I believe the credit should go to General Graphtar and Scientist Arrius.  These two have been instrumental in the process.

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Position?

XO Kelson says:
:: Suppresses a smile. ::

SO Lane says:
CSO: See here, a Breen power signal from the surface.

General Graphtar says:
:: Nods silently over viewing everything. ::

CSO Trelan says:
Self: I knew it...

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, getting a reading from the surface. It's our...competition.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns her attention back to the Governor. ::   Governor:  It is still a huge step for your people.  I hope the Federation can further assist with your education to space travel.

XO Kelson says:
Arrius: Are you feeling better?

SO Lane says:
CSO: They appear to be powering engines sir...perhaps they were hiding down there.

Host CO Royce says:
Governor:  Excuse me, sir.   :: Turns to the CSO. ::  CSO: Report, Cmdr.

Chief SCI Arrius says:
:: Exhales and looks up and stands. ::   All: Forgive…me...but to suddenly see all my theories become REALITY in a day…is quite a shock...but I will recover.

Host Governor Rafael says:
:: Looks with interest at the faces and reactions around the bridge. ::  SCI:  Arrius, I think we are about to see what these Federations and Breen are all about...

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Engines powering up. I would speculate they will take off and be up here in a few minutes.

Host Governor Rafael says:
