SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::On the bridge of the U.S.S. Ganymede, looking over his sensor scans. The results of a multi spectral scan appear on his screen and he glances at the amplitude of a gamma radiation burst in the region - nothing of note for the time being, so he continues to scan::

::diligently working in a Jeffries Tube on some relays, with his legs hanging out into Main Engineering::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Sees the FCO wink, and also looks over at science station, smiles then back to the FCO:: FCO: thank you Lt
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: I have a report on the planet we are heading to, Captain. It is called Quatal Prime. It is a planet in the former DMZ near the Dorvan sector. It also is a site of a Cardassian Colony. ::skims over the PADD:: CO: Also a mining colony.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::the TL stops and she walks onto the bridge and relieves the current OPS then turns to the Captain::  CO:  Commander Ashworth reporting for duty, I apologize for my tardiness.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:

CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: Notices the CO look at her and smiles at her friend ::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Nothing on tactical sensors yet. All security measures set to condition red. Immediate battle readiness at your command.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Monitors the SIF and IDF, assessing the strain on each from running for days at high warp speeds::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: thank you for joining us Cmdr, take your post... CNS: anything else?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Nothing else at the moment, Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she sits down and sees what needs to be done::
EO_Spanner says:
::mumbles a "sorry" as someone walking by trips over him, his hand reaching out to grab a different tool::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: Very good Lt
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Looks at console:: CO: One more thing... Dorvan V is in this sector.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: Getting anything on scanner yet?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: Why does that name sound familiar
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hears the CNS and mouths.:: Self: Dorvan V.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up from his sensors and glances over at Chief Eiluj with a half smile:: CSO: Sir, permission to go down to the Stellar Cartography Labs ma'am? I may be more successful in running long range scans of the system from there, sir...
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Continues to read the information on the console and PADD:: CO: I am not sure but it sounds familiar to me as well.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::can't place where she heard that before::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: Looks down at her screen :: CO:  Scanning planets in this sector, Dorvan V is now a Cardassian planet.  There are several small transport ships going between the planets.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
SO:  Permission granted Mister Alezka.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: pull up all you can about it  OPS: can you monitor for cardassian communications
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO/ CNS: I can’t remember the particulars, but for some reason that name sticks out in my memory.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks up as he sees someone trip, flail her arms about, catch onto a nearby bulkhead, look to the floor, and continue on her way::
FCO_Ltjg_Jara says:
::looks at the sensors and clenches his fist slightly at the name Cardassian then shakes head::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Understood Captain. ::Begins looking for information on Dorvan V:: CTO: Mine as well Lieutenant.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Right away Captain.  ::begins to monitor for Cardassian Communications of any sort::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: Any luck with the Ion signature?
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Nods to his superior officer and grabs the PADD off of his console. He stands quickly and logs out of his console, pushing the chair in and heading immediately into the nearby turbolift, ordering it to take him towards his haven, the Stellar Cartography Laboratory::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
CO:  I am pretty sure it has deteriorated , but I am looking for it.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Captain it seems that Dorvan V is an Indian Colony. It currently has a few Cardassian settlements now and serves as a trade centre.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: Seems like a good place to start our search
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she detects nothing unusual, just the normal ship chatter from the ships in this sector::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Indeed it does.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
Self: Native Americans and Cardassians. Strange bedfellows.
EO_Spanner says:
::fumbles around searching for a micro-welder, only to grab onto a bipolar torch::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He continues to read through the information hoping to find some more valuable information::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Last Intel reports show the Ion trail leaving Dorvan V heading toward the Quatal system.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Goes off to investigate as to how everyone else is doing in Engineering, and sees a pair of feet where the previous woman tripped:: EO: Need any help? ::Hopes he won't startle the other engineer::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO/CTO: Sounds suspicious to me.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: I think it wise we check out Dorvan V, see if we can find anything out there
EO_Spanner says:
::startles and hits his head on the top of the Jeffries Tube::  EO: No no, doing fine.  ::extremely muffled::  Hand me a tri-phasic coil modulator.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: Indeed it does. CO: As you wish Captain, but I hope the trail doesn't get cold in the meantime.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: Are you able to pick up anything on Dorvan V?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO/CTO: What about sending a probe to track the ion trail while we investigate Dorvan V? It could send us the path of the ion trail in case it does get cold.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::Finally arrives in the Stellar Cartography lab after little incident. Entering the Lab, Alezka notices CPO Davenport working on an astrometric scan and he nods to her, smiling and getting to work on long range scans::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
CO:  Nothing unusual.  Just life signs.  Some Terran and Cardassian.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: looks back down at the screen :: CO: Small impulse signatures from trade ships going between the planets, Sir.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: check with science to see if it’s possible
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks on the floor near a disorganized toolkit, finding the tool that the Engineer wants. He reaches to get it, getting on his hands and knees, and taps the other Engineer on the leg to get his attention less...painfully. Dandin hopes his head is alright:: EO: Here you go. You okay in there?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::continues to monitor the Cardassians communications::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CNS: That sounds like a fair strategy.
Host SM_Tech13 says:
Action: Sensor alarms sound from the enhanced sensor pod
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up at his display and as it activates, a dotted line is drawn across the holographic star charts:: *CSO*: Alezka to Eiluj...I've detected something...
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::looks over at the CSO:: CSO: Could you modify a probe to track the ion trail and send it out to make a map of it while we investigate Dorvan V, Lieutenant?
EO_Spanner says:
::muffled reply::  Thanks, it's a bit stuffy, but I'm managing.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
::looks down at the screen :: CO:  Captain, I've got an alarm from the sensor pod.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::He plots the course before him and looks at the display:: *CSO*: It appears that that our ion trail has changed course...I'm currently plotting its trajectory - it appears to be...::He pauses to read his display::...it appears to be headed on a course, 225by 144, 11 light years away - Quatal Prime...sir...
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: what are you getting?
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
*SO* Understood Ensign.  Good work.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Looks over at the CSO wondering what she has::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
CO:  Captain, it's our ion trail.  It's heading straight for Quatal Prime.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
<FCO_Ens_S'Tear> ::takes Esso's post as he leaves the Bridge for a moment::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
Self: Well it looks like we are on the right track.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: Are you sure?
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: looks back down at the screen ::  CO:  Quite sure Sir.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: Change course and head to Quatal Prime
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
EO: Yeah, I know what that's like. What exactly are you doing inside there, anyway? ::Tries to peer into the dark tube, which is obstructed mostly by the other engineer::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: what do we know about Quatal prime?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
<FCO_Ens_S'Tear>CO: Hai Cap'n! ::Changes course heading for Quatal Prime::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Checking.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: I suggest that we leave a probe behind here in case it's a diversionary tactic, Captain.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: How long till we reach it?
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::He closes down the comm line and smiles, glad that he was able to be of assistance. He continues to track the ion trail's course and logs the information into the ship's LCARS database::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: that’s a good idea, see what you and Lt Eiluj can do about it
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::as she was looking up the information on Quatal Prime she catches something::  CO:  The Cardassian Government on Dorvan Prime said that a ship matching our Ion trail came through here two days ago and bought supplies.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CSO: Lieutenant, how about we drop a spy satellite in orbit.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
<FCO_Ens_S'Tear>CO: Ummm... ::looks at console:: CO: I think it is in...in... 6 days.
EO_Spanner says:
EO: Oh I'm realigning the inverted power couplings to the atmospheric regenerators.  There's a .3 millicochrane discharge at junction 3, and it's causing a fluctuation in the gamma levels, which in turn is making the air 2% staler than usual.  
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Listens to Commander Ashworth:: Self: Odd.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: what type of supplies? can they tell us who they were?
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: looks up at the Lt Ashworth :: CTO: That's a good idea.  I'd also suggest a couple probes on the surface as well.  For additional security.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::the information on Quatal Prime comes up::  CO:  Quatal Prime has four moons hence the name Quatal Prime.  The Maquis used a biogenic weapon against a Cardassian colony there.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CSO: Good thinking, but make sure they are in remote regions that would cause interference to scans from the surface.
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
CTO:  Naturally Sir.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  I have no other knowledge of what kind of supplies they bought, the Cardassian Government wasn't too forthcoming with that information.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Looks curiously at Commander Ashworth thinking "Oh joy"::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hears the mention of biogenic weapons and inwardly cringes.::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
EO: I see. Estimated time for repairs?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: is there anyone still there?
EO_Spanner says:
EO: Oh, another 15 minutes or so.  It's being a bit finicky.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Typing some commands on a console in her office.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO: Checking...
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CSO: Perfect.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: How goes the probe?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::curses silently as she was cut off::  CO:  They terminated communication with us.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: Friendly people I take it Commander?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Self: Let me see what I can about the inhabitants of this system. ::Types some more commands into the console for planet profiling.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Probes are ready to deployed . CSO also suggested putting a couple on the surface in hard to scan areas from the surface. As soon as she is ready Captain.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  If you can call it like that.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: run a search through our computer, and see if we can find out more about it
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::As he runs more detailed scans, he notices that the ion trail begins to dissipate before them:: *CSO*: Ensign Alezka to Lieutenant Eiluj...sir...the ion trail has begun to dissipate. After 11 days it's to be expected - we may have trouble tracking them further.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Right away.  ::runs a search for further information::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: When ever you’re ready, deploy them
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Deploys the probes to their pre programmed positions.:: CO: Probes away Captain.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Listening to all of the chatter on the Bridge::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*EO*: How is everything down there, may I get your report Lt
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: nods at the CTO ::
Gul_Etek says:
COMM: Ganymede: Federation vessel, what gives you the right to deploy spy probes in our system!
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Observes one planet CAN be classified as a Class M planet although barely the others are barely habitable if at all.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::her search for more information is proving fruitless::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods:: EO: Understood, thank you. ::Stands, and answers the comm:: *CO*: Yes, Sir. Everything seems to be running within desired parameters. Right now, we're bringing the smaller problems to the front, and dealing with them.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*EO*: What type of smaller problems Lt?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Decides to take a walk to the bridge and do some work from there.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::is startled when she receives a COM::  COM:  GUL:  We are looking for some of our own vessels.
Host SM_Tech13 says:
Action: A Cardassian patrol ship emerges from the other side of the planet
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Captain, a Cardassian has contacted us and he sounds a bit touchy if you catch the meaning.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: put him on screen, let here what he has to say
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Arrives on the bridge to all the commotion.::
Gul_Etek says:
COM: Ganymede: There are no other Federation Vessels here.  This is Cardassian space.  Give me one good reason I should not consider this an act of espionage.  A Federation Vessel coming into our system and launching spy probes.  It's outrageous!
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Right away.  ::puts the Gul onscreen::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
*CO*: Minor fluctuations in non essential systems, Sir.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Captain, they are running hot on weapons. Shall I go to red alert?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: They have raised shields as well.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::looks at the screen listening to the man::
Gul_Etek says:
COM: Ganymede: Ah, so the spies decide to show themselves.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: Yellow alert for now... ::looks up at the screen::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Gul: we are not Spies, we are just looking for some people that stole something from us, nothing else I assure you
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: Sets alert status to yellow.:: *All hands* : Yellow alert.
Gul_Etek says:
COM: Ganymede:  You have invaded Cardassian space, and launched spy probes into our system, and now you call the Cardassian people thieves!  How dare you Captain!
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::As sensor readings come in, he begins running passive scans of the Cardassian vessel. He does his best to locate minor design flaws, or errors in the vessels construction that could give them a clue as to its function in this area, or any advantages they could have over it::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Tactical scans show them targeting our phaser emitters.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Looks over at the Captain after hearing the man and thinks "Great now we are going to be attacked"::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Gul: I never said they were cardassian, they just fled this way.  the probes are just to help if they return this was
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Exits TL, entering ME. ::  EO: Report, Lt Lai.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Stands staring at the view screen with the Cardassian on it.:: Self: Oh No, not what we need.
Gul_Etek says:
COM: Ganymede:  I see...so then you consider us a people who would harbour criminals.  And rather than face us with the respect we deserve, you slink in and send spy probes out.  You come into our system and already distrust us, treat us with dishonour, and accuse us of criminal activity.  I see no reason why I should not bring you up on charges of espionage and have you executed Captain of the Federation vessel
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Whispers over to the CMO:: see what you can find what biogentic weapons that were used on quatal prime, and there casualties there
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Brings shields to a higher energy level and double shields the emitters.:: CO: Second Cardassian ship entering the system at high warp. I suggest we go to red alert,
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::eyes widen after hearing the man::
Host SM_Tech13 says:
Action: Patrol ship fires on and destroys one of the probes.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Nods to the Captain.:: CO: Yes Ma'am.  ::Wanders over to the empty Tac 2 station.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CSO: Recall the probes
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Accesses the files from Qutal Prime.::
CSO_Ltjg_Eiluj says:
:: begins to recall probes ::  CO: Probes recalled.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
CEO: All systems operating within normal limitations, Sir.  ::Smiles:: CEO: Main Engineering  is yours.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Begins reviewing the files and sensor scans.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Gul: I never said you were harbouring anyone, they just headed this way.  we did not notice your ship, or else we would have asked for your help, I assume you, we are not spies, and do not wish to start anything here
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Analyzes the compound data and finds it to be consistent with Cobalt Diselenide.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CTO: not yet Lt,
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
EO: As you were, Lt. I've received an urgent communiqué from Starfleet so I'll be in my office unless you need me.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
GUL: our probes have been recalled..
Gul_Etek says:
COM: A wise choice Captain.  You have bought yourself my patience.  I do not wish to start a war here today.  Note that you will be under the utmost of scrutiny while in this system, and subject to Cardassian Law!  We will...provide an escort, for you...in case of any unwanted...trouble.  I suggest your next dealings with me be forthright and honourable Captain.  Gul Etek  out.  ::closes communications::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Understood Captain.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Stops and looks at one of the consoles on his way to his office. ::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Looks over at the Captain and whispers:: CO: Such friendly people.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods:: CEO: Of course, Sir.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Sits back and lets out a loud sigh:: CNS: that was close...
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: A little too close if you ask me, Captain.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO: Now we are going to have one of those ships monitoring everything we do. I suggest extreme caution now.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
CO: Ma'am, the compound analysis indicates Cobalt Diselenide.  I am still analyzing how it was deployed and its exact effects.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: agree, ::Wipes her brow::
Host SM_Tech13 says:
Action: Second patrol ship drops from warp and takes up a position near the planet
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Nods to the CMO::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: keep track of there ships,
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
FCO: Continue our course to Quatal Prime
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Scans the second ship seeing that they too are running weapons hot.:: CO: I suggest extreme caution. They are running hot, probably looking for any excuse.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
<FCO_Ens_S'Tear>CO: Hai Cap'n!! ::continues his course::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
CTO: It appears we have some unwanted extra company.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CTO: Us going to red alert will give them there excuse, keep us at Yellow alert Lt
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
CO/CTO: Which is not a surprise. They tend to act this way when they believe someone on invading their territory.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Notices the change as we retrieve our probes.:: CO: They have powered down weapons as we have made good with removing our probes. At least they are showing some honour.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CNS: were you able to pick anything up from them?
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
*EO*: May I see you in my office, Lt Lai?
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
::As a second vessel comes into range, he continues his scans down in the Stellar Cartography Lab. He looks up slowly as Petty Officer Carly Davenport comes over and puts her hands on his shoulder and smiles at him, looking over at his work::
