<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::grunts as he paces around operations::

CEO_Burke says:
::putzing around one of the engineering labs getting ready for the visitors... kind of excited to have something a little different to do::

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Waves one of the ATWVs forward, then points::  Aloud: Over there, turn left... LEFT!

Yanaj says:
@::In shuttle Jones, arriving at the station:: COM: Abertura: Yanaj to Abertura station, we are 2 minutes away from docking.  Are you ready for us?

Host XO_Azhure says:
::In the command center, going through reports.::

Host XO_Azhure says:
::Looks up:: CO: Are guests are about to arrive.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods::  XO: I bow to your diplomacy in this matter... show them around.

CEO_Burke says:
::runs a last diagnostic on the equipment::

Gen_Ranuck says:
::Finishes briefing his men... no one is to cause trouble with the Cardassians::

Host Russ says:
Action: The shuttle circles the Station waiting for landing instructions::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
COM: Yanaj: Proceed at your discretion shuttle.

Yanaj says:
@::sets in the orders for landing::

XO_Azhure says:
::Shakes her head, her eyes smiling.::  CO:  I thought you wanted me to find Iu.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
XO: You can meet them on the way with me then ::grins::

Host Russ says:
Action: The Shuttle lands.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::points to the turbolift:: XO: Shall we?

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Helps to move some of the diagnostic equipment out of the way::

CEO_Burke says:
::seeing everything is in order, he heads to the replicator and orders up a recent favorite:: Replicator: Iced latte, shot of hazelnut

Yanaj says:
::stretches and stands slowly, then opens the shuttle hatch::

XO_Azhure says:
CO:  This will be interesting...  ::Follows M'Tor into the turbolift.::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::enters turbolift and looks at the ceiling:: Turbolift: Hangar deck.

Yanaj says:
::steps out of shuttle:: Haras: Bring the device.

XO_Azhure says:
::Hides a yawn as she hands him a general update of the station.::  CO:  Shall I head out after we greet our guests?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::exits on the hangar deck and looks around::

CEO_Burke says:
::sips at the cool drink and wonders what this gadget is they are bringing in::

Yanaj says:
<Haras> ::picks up the container carefully::

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Looks up at the approaching senior officers, slightly dirty and sweaty::  CO: Captain.  XO: Commander.  ::With a nod::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CSEC: Having fun?

Yanaj says:
Lessur: Follow me.  Don't let these people try anything.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CO: You bet, sir.

XO_Azhure says:
::Smiles at Bill.::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::grins:: CSEC: We should be having guests.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Nods::  CO: We're ready.  We've set up an area here.. power taps, temporary force fields installed... ::voice gets low::  And the Jem'Hadar are around.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: XO: Say hello Commander

XO_Azhure says:
::Eyes twinkling, quietly for those only close to her can hear.::  CO:  Hello commander.

XO_Azhure says:
::Turns too great their guests.::  Yanaj:  Welcome to Abertura.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Looks to see the Cardassians walk through the door - ah, they're here::

Yanaj says:
::sighs:: XO: Thank you.  Should you not have had someone here when I arrived?  Perhaps my work is not important to you Federation?

CEO_Burke says:
::getting a bit impatient:: *XO*: Are they gonna get here anytime soon?

XO_Azhure says:
Yanaj:  Our apologize.  You arrived quicker then we expected.  I am commander Azhure.  This is Captain M'Tor and Commander Powers.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Nods at his name::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods to the new arrivals::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
All: Rumor has it you have something interesting.

Yanaj says:
XO: That is fine.  These are my workers, Haras and Lessur.  Haras has the device.  You ARE ready for it I assume?

CEO_Burke says:
::waits patiently for a response, his foot tapping rapidly::

XO_Azhure says:
Yanaj:  Yes we are.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
*CEO*: They have just arrived.

XO_Azhure says:
*CEO*  Lt Burke, are you ready for our guests?

Yanaj says:
XO: Good, then let us proceed.  I need to get back to the dig.

CEO_Burke says:
*CO*: Great!

CEO_Burke says:
*XO*: Yep, been ready.. still ready...

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yanaj: How many do you wish to leave here to study the device and what sort of resources do you require?

XO_Azhure says:
::Looks at M'Tor::  *CEO* :  The captain will be bringing them down in a moment.  Have fun.  And try not to blow up the place before I get back.  There are lots of paintbrushes in the basement as well as duck tape.

CEO_Burke says:
*XO*: Okay, I'll wait for you to get back before I blow up the place

Yanaj says:
CO: The three of us will remain here for the study but I do not simply have time to stand around and chat.  I expect a lab, some of your Federation science persons and a security.

XO_Azhure says:
*CEO*:  Lovely...  ::A touch of sarcastic humor.::

XO_Azhure says:
CO:  Captain, I leave you to our guests.

CEO_Burke says:
*XO*: Whatever I can do to please

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yanaj: We have all of that.

Yanaj says:
CO: Good.  Now prove it.

Host Russ says:
Action: It is now one half hour later, Yanaj and her people are in the science lab conducting and extensive study of the device.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
XO: I shall try and not destroy the place Commander.

Yanaj says:
<Haras> ::stands behind Yanaj with the device::

XO_Azhure says:
@ ::Climbing from the hovercraft, she pulls out a pack and slips it around her waist.::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::paces once again in Operations::

Yanaj says:
::sets the piece down on the table carefully and begins running scans::

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks up at the tall, dark mountain that in many ways they did not understand, was sentient.::

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Watches the CO pacing from the upper deck::

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: Pulling out her binoculars, lifts them to her eyes to scan the area.::

CEO_Burke says:
::looks over the piece::  Yanaj: Interesting...  ::looks at his own scans::

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: With a smile, decides she got the better part of the deal this mission.  She was not concerned about M'Tor blowing up the station, but the Caradassean, that was another matter.  Heads out for a nice hike.::

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: Where did you say you found this again?

Host Russ says:
Action: Rain clouds move in over the mountain.

Yanaj says:
CEO: In our dig on the other side of the planet.

Yanaj says:
CEO: It is not Klingon.  Markings are not Klingon or Cardassian.

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: As the sunlight dims and the air cools, she looks up to see the rain clouds.::  Lovely...

Yanaj says:
CEO: Workers believed you all could decipher.

CEO_Burke says:
::looks closely at the markings:: Yanaj: They look almost familiar... but not enough for me to place them exactly.

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: Have you tried to date the object yet?

XO_Azhure says:
::Stops for a moment to pull out her rain poncho, slipping it on just in case.::

Yanaj says:
CEO: ::grunts:: Yes, I took it to dinner. ::grunts again::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::resists the urge once again to call the lab and ask "How is it going?"::

CEO_Burke says:
::cardassian humor wasted on him:: Yanaj: Uh huh...  determine the age of the device

XO_Azhure says:
<@>

Yanaj says:
CEO: I know what you mean, Lieutenant.  I do my job well.  It is at least 2,000 years old.

Yanaj says:
CEO: The strange part is our dig level.  Other artifacts were only 1,500 years old there.

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: Makes her way through the brush and trees, the sound of leaves rustling on the rain scented wind.::  Ahhh Bill.  Might that you were here.  ::Finding the barely discernable path she was looking for, she makes a slight turn.::

Host Russ says:
Action: Rain begins to fall and the clouds get darker.

Yanaj says:
CEO: I do not see a way to open the device.  Something is blocking the interior scans.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Finally gives in::  CO: You know, Captain, if you keep walking back and forth, you're going to wear through the floor.

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: Why is that so odd.. maybe 1500 years ago an archeologist dug it up from a 500 year old dig.  ::checks a quantum level scan looking for atomic temporal markers::

Yanaj says:
<Lessur> *CO* The leader will need sustenance.  Do you cook?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CSEC: Our CEO will fix it then. ::grins:: *Lessur*: I do not... I have a replicator that does.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Snickers at the thought of the CO cooking::

XO_Azhure says:
@ ::Pulls the hood over her head, tempted to ride out the storm in the sheltering lee of one of the trees.  Looks up as a streak of lightening briefly brightens the skies.::

Yanaj says:
<Lessur> ::wrinkles his nose:: *CO* The leader does not like replicators.  Can you not make Canar and roasted gumja?

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CO: I'm curious about the artifact... what if it's important?  We'll have ghosts haunting the station, looking for their artifact... or maybe to come eat our brains.  ::Pauses for a moment::  Well at least you and Ranuck will be safe....

Yanaj says:
CEO: ::sighs:: Because our dig shows no space travel.  Entire area was covered in Klingon though.  You tell ME what Klingons were doing here.

XO_Azhure says:
::Opens her mind to the general thought if Iu, knowing he will come if and when he is ready.::

XO_Azhure says:
<@>

CEO_Burke says:
::looks at the woman, she is starting to get on his nerves:: Yanaj: Sorry, I don't have 1500 year old Klingon relatives to ask.

Yanaj says:
CEO: I should hope not.

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: And since when does archeology require space travel... ::prepares a probe to run a radiation bombard sequence to see if he can find one that reads through the device::  I mean Earth had archeology centuries before space travel

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
*Lessur*: You will have to make due with what we have.

Yanaj says:
::picks up a probe and pushes it in the end of the device::

XO_Azhure says:
@:: As she meanders along the path, she stops occasional to take a few plant samples.::

Yanaj says:
<Lessur> *CO* I assume so. ::clicks his tongue::

CEO_Burke says:
::stops Yanaj:: Yanaj: Whoa... slow down... nothing is opened until we know its safe

Gen_Ranuck says:
@<Iu> ::Appears behind Azhure as she reaches for an orange spotted plant::  XO: That one will make you break out in a rash...

Yanaj says:
CEO: Do your scans show the inside?

XO_Azhure says:
@ :: Not surprised by his appearance, she carefully takes the sample, it never touching her skin.:: Iu:  Which is why it is always wise to be careful.  ::Tucks the sample away before standing to face him.::

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: No, do yours?  ::doesn't wait:: No... so we continue until we find something that does..  I promised my boss I wouldn't blow up the station until she gets back and I keep my promises.

Host Russ says:
Action the Rain increases.

Yanaj says:
CEO: This probe pressed against the end will provide a radiation scan of the interior.  I suggest you back away.

Yanaj says:
CEO: I do NOT plan on blowing anything UP!  I am not a Federation idiot!

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
*Lessur*: What is your progress with the device?

Yanaj says:
::finishes placing the probe then moves over to the controls::

CEO_Burke says:
Yanaj: It isn't your plans that worry me... its your technique.  ::disconnects the probe::  Now we do this right or we don't do it at all.

Yanaj says:
<Lessur> ::backs away from Yanaj and the CEO:: They are arguing over tests to run.

Host Russ says:
Action: The CEO is electrocuted from touching a live device!

Yanaj says:
CEO: Then I suggest you get your butt moving before I have you removed! ::grunts:: Stupid Federation.

CEO_Burke says:
::takes a jolt from the device::  Yanaj: My house, my rules...   now we finish the bombard sequence first or I'll shut the whole lab down.

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
@<Iu> XO: And the wise must also be careful.

CEO_Burke says:
::shakes off the jolt while not breaking eye contact with Yanaj::

Yanaj says:
CEO: Then bombard!  Do you not think I have already run many tests before trusting YOU with this device?

XO_Azhure says:
@ ::Smiles and with a nod continues on her path.::  Iu:  Do you use it for anything medicinal?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::hears screaming:: *Lessur*: What is your progress?

Yanaj says:
<Haras> ::sits at a console watching the results come in from the few scans he can do at a distance::

Yanaj says:
<Lessur> *CO* No, no progress.  Only yelling.  You people should all be blue.  Blue don't fight.  Blue think.  You should all be blue.

CEO_Burke says:
::deactivate then removes the probe::  Yanaj: The process is running... if you wish to move things along faster I suggest you provide me with what you have done already.  Otherwise I'll be repeating each step.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::rolls eyes::

CSec_LtCmdr_Powers says:
@<Iu> XO: Everything on the mountain holds a purpose... ::Reaches down where the plant was picked from, and when the hand is gone, it has regrown::

Yanaj says:
CEO: The results are there. ::points to the console away from the lab table::

Host Russ says:
Action: A scanner is knocked over by the CEO Power surging through the scanner flows through the device.

Host Russ says:
Action: A tiny door open on the bottom side of the Artifact.
