Previously on Star Trek: A Call To Duty ...

An alien race known as the Doman have come rushing into the fringes of Federation space in the Beta Quadrant their pursuers seem to be an alien race entitled the Elleb.

Dozens of heavily damaged Doman freighters have been granted asylum by various Federation vessels, starbases and outposts, but the strains of all these refugees have begun to show.

While other starships are only beginning to find new peaces to the mystery that are the Doman and the Elleb, we pick up with the Galaxy Class U.S.S. Paula Greene now en route to transfer some of the aforementioned refugees.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Paula Greene Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Ryan says:
::Standing at the tactical station on the Bridge, dispatching security teams to all sensitive areas of the ship and doubles up on security teams in and around the cargo bays and Sickbay::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Sitting in the Big Chair::

CSO_Raal says:
::At science station scanning the area::

OPS_Owens says:
::Sitting at OPS trying to re-adjust the chair to his liking after the CIV messed with it::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Laying on his back on the floor of shuttlebay one working on a warp sustainer coil that was damaged by a pilot on landing::

CEO_Hull says:
::At the Master Display Console at Main Engineering monitoring the status of the ship::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::In Sickbay, preparing medical teams::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Working at one of the spare Bridge stations ::

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, I have completed dispatching of all security personnel throughout the ship.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: How are we doing with the power management, do you think you'll be able to handle all the power needs?

CIV_B`lee says:
::Notes most of the shuttle crews have managed to store the spare shuttles and clear the deck of the bay.  Need all the extra room they can get with this mission ahead::

OPS_Owens says:
::Rerouting power from the Holodecks and other recreational facilities to the life-support system::

FCO_Baptiste says:
*CIV* Mr. B’lee, you are supposed to be up here to replace the watch at the helm.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: Excellent.  Warn your security teams to not be overly hostile though.  Most of the refugees might not know they are somewhere they shouldn't be.

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks long-range sensors::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: I believe the ship has sufficient power as long as I keep our recreational facilities off-line.  Only time will tell for sure, Sir.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Helm> XO: Commander, ETA to Outpost 119 is five minutes. The convoy is keeping up with us.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CEO* Lieutenant Hull, please have your engineering teams clear out Cargo bays 1 and 2.  We'll need to set up cots for the refugees.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Sighs thinking things are awfully busy down here for that:: *FCO* I'll get up there as soon as I can, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Lieutenant, how long is the trip to Babylon Station?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Pushes a stray strand of black hair behind her ear as she turns to Nurse Angel::

CEO_Hull says:
*CTO* Aye, teams are on the way.

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  They have been thoroughly debriefed on our situation.

CNS_Richardson says:
::On Bridge:: XO: I'll start working with teams to set up the cargo bays for the refugees, Sir.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Helm> XO: ETA from Outpost 119 to Babylon Station is two and a half days, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods at the CTO:: CSO: Anything on sensors, Mr. Raal?

CTO_Ryan says:
*CEO* Thank you.  Ryan, out.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Helm: Thank you.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: Sensors are clear, for the moment.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: From Outpost 119 it should take 3 days, Sir.

CEO_Hull says:
::<Ensign Rowls>: Ensign, take your team and head to Cargo Bay 1, set up emergency habitats and replicators then head over to Cargo Bay 2.  I'll send extra people once I gather them up

OPS_Owens says:
::Monitoring the power reserves and conducting calculations on estimated costs from the expected refugees::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
Nurse Angel: I think we are done here.  I will go down with the teams to the cargo bays.  If you need anything, let me know otherwise I leave you in charge here.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::In the Ready Room going over fleet reports::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns her attention to the long-range sensor screen::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Looks around for a capable officer to fix the sustainer and waves over an engineer::

CEO_Hull says:
<Ensign Rowls> CEO: Aye, Sir.  ::He gathers his people and heads to Cargo Bay 1::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
<Nurse Angel>:  CMO: No problem, and hopefully it will stay that way.  ::Smiles watching the CMO grab her bag to leave::

OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* Chief Hull, in case we need to divert more power into life support, I was wondering if you could get more out of the core?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::With a smile, turns and heads out::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits the Bridge, making her way to the cargo bays where crews have already begun setting up quarters for the refugees::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* Captain, we're approaching Outpost 119.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Crawls out from under the shuttle and wonders if he should change uniforms before heading up to the Bridge.  Shrugs it off and wipes his hands off on his utility pants::

CEO_Hull says:
*OPS* Core is ready for additional output on demand, I have the impulse engines of the primary and secondary hull ready to augment power as needed.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ensign at Helm> XO: Sir, we're arriving at Outpost 119's system.  Dropping to sub light.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Rushes over to the shuttlebay exit and heads down the corridor to the nearest turbolift:: Bridge.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CIV: Acknowledged. ::Takes him to the Bridge::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*XO* Very well, on my way.

CSO_Raal says:
::Trains sensors to Outpost 119::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene drops out of warp in Outpost 119's system, moving toward the old' outpost.

OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* Thank you Chief, Owens, out.  ::Taps COM badge::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Thinks: Right on cue::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Leans up against the wall of the turbolift and notices a tear in the shoulder of his uniform jacket.  Plays with it absentmindedly as the lift heads up through the ship::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Shuts down the computer with the boring reports and heads to the Bridge::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Activates short-range sensors::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS* Tari, I am on my way down to the cargo bay.  Will you be heading down there any time soon?

CEO_Hull says:
<Ens. Rowl> ::Enters Cargo Bay 1 and begins setting up emergency habitats and replicators and first aid stations::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *CMO* I'm in the cargo bays setting things up here.  How are preparations coming along in Sickbay?

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins monitoring frequencies and preparing for a "Hail"::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Enters Bridge::  XO: Status of the fleet?  ::Knows full well what the status is::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: Keep your sensors peeled for any Elleb ships.  We don't want them surprising us.  Patch through to the Outpost’s scanner.  Their scanner probably has a longer range.  ::Gets up as the Captain comes onto the Bridge::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Steps off the turbolift onto the Bridge and rubs at an oil smear on his pants as he heads up to the flight console::

CSO_Raal says:
::Notices the Outpost is over crowded::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Chuckles::  *CNS*  I am on my way down.

CNS_Richardson says:
*CMO* There all ready, see you in a few.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: We're ready Sir.  The fleet is deploying around the station as we speak.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Notes the arrival of the unkempt civilian and shakes his head::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Moves to the Big Chair::

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets up a link with the Outpost scanners and activates::

CSO_Raal says:
CO/XO: Sirs, I'm concerned.

CEO_Hull says:
::Additional engineering teams arrive in Cargo Bay 2 and begin setting up emergency habitats and replicators::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Glances over the shoulder of the ensign at the console getting caught up on the latest.  Taps the Ensign on the shoulder when he is ready to take over and slides down into the seat::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Hail the outpost.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The convoy maneuvers around the Galaxy Class vessel and begin to set themselves up around the Outpost.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Notices the Civilian on the Bridge::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: I have them stacking at polar north from the station, Commander.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees some additional work teams arrive and directs them to various activities::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notices the CIV arrive and bites back the urge to raise the subject on the OPS chair.  Hears the CO::  CO: Channel open, Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Scans the area:: CO: No Doman or Elleb vessels on scanners.  I am picking up some heavily damaged Doman freighters docked at the Outpost.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: FCO: Thank you, Mr. Baptiste.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::For some reason, feeling rather tired, more mentally then physically.  Steps onto the turbolift::  Computer: Cargo bay one.

CEO_Hull says:
*CTO* Teams advise that cargo bays will be ready for occupancy in 15 minutes optimum time, but they can receive now if need be.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Mr. Owens, do we have the transporters ready, all of them?

CSO_Raal says:
CO: I'm wondering how those people can fit on an outpost that was designed to hold only 2,000 beings.  I'm reading 10,000 life forms scurrying about.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

OPS_Owens says:
::Does a final check on the systems::  XO: Aye, Sir.  Transporter systems are working at optimum efficiency, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Shakes her head slightly, thinking that even on a Galaxy class, 10,000 is going to crowd the cargo bays::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Cargo bays will be completely ready to receive in 15 minutes.

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: We read you Paula Greene.  This is Outpost 119.  ::In the background they can hear heavy talking mostly involves an unknown alien race speaking::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: We can't have any failing.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps off the lift and enters the cargo bay looking around at all the busy teams getting things ready::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Glances back at the Captain's chair and raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Acknowledged, Sir.  I guarantee them with my pips, Sir.

CEO_Hull says:
::Monitors the ships power distribution and makes balance adjustments to the EPS grid with the additional replicators now online::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Sighs and shakes his head quietly, his earring jingling in his ear::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Stops a moment to orientate herself looking for Tari.  Seeing her smiles and heads toward her::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Makes adjustments to the link with the Outpost scanners::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees Aurora and waves her over:: CMO: It's going to be a tight fit, I think.  The refugees will be restricted to here and to Sickbay.  We should set up an area here for medical care as well, you think?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Grins:: OPS: I'll hold you to that promise, Mr. Owens.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Gets confused over exactly what his position is.  Shakes his head clear and concentrates on the flight console in front of him::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@::Looks kind of haggard, tired, his uniform is unzipped::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: U.S.S. Paula Greene, this is Outpost 119, do you copy?

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods solemnly hoping he hasn't over done it this time::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: The Captain does not want them in Sickbay unless it is critical.  ::Shakes her head::  I cannot imagine the cargo bays holding 10,000 people.  Someone is out of their mind.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Outpost: This is Captain Cromwell.  Are you ready to transfer the refugees, Commander?

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks the structural integrity of the outpost::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Walks up to the conn:: Helm: Ease us into position.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Hopes his shuttle crews got the bay clear by now::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Looks up at Amendoeira:: XO: You got it.  ::Gently slides the Paula Greene into position::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Commander, the ships are successfully in pattern and ready to take on their passengers when we are.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods at the CMO:: CMO: Only the critical ones to Sickbay.  We'll set up this area.   ::Points to a section of the bay:: for medical operations. What else you need here?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: As soon as we start the first transport, have them follow suit.

CSO_Raal says:
::Glad to see the outpost is not busting at the seams::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: You do have station sections divided between the several ships so we don't try to beam the same colonists?

CIV_B`lee says:
::Glances over at Baptiste::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps the console alerting the security teams to stand ready to receive passengers::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Proceeds to contacting the various ships::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks around::  CNS:  I think we have it for now.  ::Looks at a PADD::  Self: Blankets, food, clothing, medicine….

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Actually, Sir, it is a cascade beam out that is commonly used with passenger liners.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: ::While waiting for the Outpost Commander:: I understand your concern, that's why we are here.

CSO_Raal says:
::Wonders how well the convoy will perform with 10,000 hungry mouths to feed::

OPS_Owens says:
::Diverts some of the reserve power meant for life-support to the transporter systems::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Picks up on his wife's tiredness and sends comforting thoughts~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
::Thinks, trying to think what they've missed:: CMO: Yep, looks like we have the basics covered.  I guess we're ready for the refugees.  I'll let the Bridge know.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Makes a minor course change to stay in relative position::

CNS_Richardson says:
*XO* Richardson here, I think we've got the cargo bays ready, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: FCO: Very well.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Tries to be patient with the Outpost Commander as it is obvious he is ragged::

CSO_Raal says:
OPS: How many of those people can the Paula Greene hold?

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: Outpost 119's crew is ready and willing but the refugees, well, they don't seem to want to leave.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS* While you are at it see how long we will have them.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: The estimate is that it will take them approximately 18 minutes to beam all of them over and be ready to sail.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS* Thank you, Counselor. CO: Captain, we're ready to start.  ::Nods at OPS for him to start beaming on the CO's order::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Glances up at the view screen and thinks the Outpost Commander's uniform looks about as good as his own::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Smiles:: FCO: Excellent time, Mr. Baptiste.  Now let's see if there are no delays.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Has his hand over the key that will send the initiate button::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Raises eyebrows::  COM: DeKalb: Really?  What reasons do they give?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Runs hands through her hair::  CNS:  I do not like incomplete orders.

CNS_Richardson says:
*XO* Any clearer indication of how many we can expect, Sir?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Hopes the XO heard the Outpost Commander as well::

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods back at the XO and casually watches the CO::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS* Roughly 6000.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Listens to the goings on about the Bridge and realizes this is his first time at the helm of the Paula Greene::

CNS_Richardson says:
*XO* Acknowledged.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Handles like even more of a pig than the Delphyne::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: CO: They feel safer here, Captain.  ::A Doman throws up something not pretty behind him, he sighs::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS* I'd suggest you get the families separated and established in the lower decks quarters.  Cargo bays will probably not be enough.

OPS_Owens says:
::Finds he has the time now to answer the CSO::  CSO: We can safely evacuate 6,000 colonists, Mr. Raal.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks at Aurora:: CMO: Not so bad as we thought; it looks like we'll ONLY have about 6000 to care for down here.

CSO_Raal says:
OPS: Do we have enough replicator power to feed them all for three days?

CTO_Ryan says:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps up to the CO:: CO: Problems?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CNS: ONLY 6000???  ::Shakes her head with a wry grin::

OPS_Owens says:
::Looks up in thought at the CSO's thoughts::  CSO: I never took that into consideration.  ::Goes back to his console to run a few more calculations::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Stifles a giggle::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Thinks the Paula Greene is going to become very crowded very quickly::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb: Very well, Commander.  I can see their point to a certain extent.  I'll discuss this with my officers and we'll get back to you.  Paula Greene out.

CSO_Raal says:
OPS: Just thinking of everything.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Wishes the United Federation of Planets had rented some of the larger liners from his home world::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees a worker struggling with a load of supplies and moves to help him::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Snaps her fingers::  CNS: How about some nice soothing music?  I know I could use some about now.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Scratches his chin already trying to find a way to get the refugees over to the ships::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: It seems the refugees feel safer on the station than they would aboard vessels such as the ones they just arrived from.  Any ideas?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: I don't imagine a forced beam out will do much good.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Well, a couple, but you probably wouldn’t like them.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Uhmmmmm, did anyone tell them of the gyms and such aboard those liners?

CNS_Richardson says:
CMO: Great idea, something soothing.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CO: Probably not, Sir.  They need to want to get off.  ::Smiles::

OPS_Owens says:
::Comes back from his console::  CSO: I believe so as long as the flyboys don't over do it.  ::Glances at Mr. B'lee::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Mutters:: Self: Could always show them why the Paula Greene would be even safer than a station.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Helps an Ensign with a load of blankets.  Peeks her head around::  CNS: Very soothing.  ::Walks to the nearest wall::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: I'm open to suggestions.  I have my own ideas, but I need the experience of a former ambassador on this one.  ::Grins::

CEO_Hull says:
::Diverts 10% additional power to the transporters::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Actually, Sir, this has nothing to do with mediation.  I'd suggest making the station seem less "safe".  Maybe a problem with the gravity controls, a simulated core breach?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Puts the blankets down and helps unload some more::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Yes, that was one idea I was considering.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Good point, Mr. Baptiste.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Chuckles:: XO: “Simulated” being the key word.

OPS_Owens says:
::Wonders how the CO is going to pull a "MacGyver" out of his hat this time::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Looks around the Bridge:: All: I'm open to ideas from anyone and everyone.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Glares at B’lee then grins::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: How about the promise of full rations aboard the ships?

CIV_B`lee says:
::Sees the look on the XO's face and looks at him oddly::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Or hot-cooked meals on demand.

CEO_Hull says:
*XO* Engineering Status Report, warp core is pulling the load.  Damage Control parties are located throughout the ship, Hull, out.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Settles another load of supplies in the cargo bay::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Throws in:: FCO: And high-powered phaser arrays in the event the Elleb come for them.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Chuckles as a response:: CIV: I was kidding, Mr. B’lee, right?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Nods to the FCO:: FCO: Yes, of course, but it seems they don't mind the lack of rations they now enjoy as long as they feel safe.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Thinks the CSO should not  be the cook though::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Tosses over his shoulder:: XO: Whatever.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Emphasize the positives and tell them that the stations systems are starting to fail from overload then simulate it?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices weapons fire coming from the Outpost:: CO: Sir, I am picking up type II phaser fire on the Outpost!

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks sensors::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Shrugs it off and turns his attention to the CTO::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Sits up straight at the mention of weapons fire::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Confirmed, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Open a channel.

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks for injuries and life signs::

CIV_B`lee says:
CO: I think our options just ran out.

OPS_Owens says:
::Presses a few controls::  CO: Channel is open, Sir.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Begins to assign groups throughout the area, not that they will stay there, but it helps::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: Who's the Master Chef tonight?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb: Commander, report!  We have detected phaser fire.

CNS_Richardson says:
CMO: I thought you were.  ::Grins::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Try and work with the Outpost people to set up a simulated problem.  Nothing too major, just something to nudge the refugees out of the station.

CIV_B`lee says:
*CMO* Sickbay, prepare for incoming injuries from the station, phaser fire.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Contacts the Station Ops personnel::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: ::Turns back to the screen:: A fight broke out down below over rations.  We tried to stun those fighting, but now the stronger males are attacking those who stunned the others.  We have a riot on our hands.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: Oh no, though I admit, it has been awhile since I made a major meal, one of the advantages of having a husband who loves to cook.

CSO_Raal says:
::Still searching for injuries or life signs::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Looks like a forced beam out is our only chance.

CSO_Raal says:
::Tries to localize the riot::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Leans far over his console ready for any change in flight attitude::

OPS_Owens says:
::Tries to lock onto the Doman in the riot areas::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CIV*  Phaser fire, is the condition known?  Meaning does it require the Sickbay or can they be beamed down here.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Hears the COM from the Outpost Commander::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: And maybe have a feast waiting for the refugees as they arrive on the liners.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: I have sent the Station OPS a "gravity Fader " program.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Possibly, I'm not sending further security to escalate the situation.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Laughs:: CMO: Then we'll have to rely on the replicators to feed our guests.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Turns his head back towards the CO:: CO: I might recommend beaming out those actively fighting to a separate section.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Suggestion, beam in some anestizine cartridges?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Very well.  ::Turns to the CO:: Or beam some food over, so they can see what is waiting for them on the liners and on our ship?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb: Can you cut your gravity and lights to the area?

OPS_Owens says:
CO: Sir I believe I could start beaming some into our cargo holds, only a few at a time though.

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: CO: Pardon?!?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: Hmmm...replicator food,  yummy.  ::Sighs::  It looks like our first batch is coming in and not dancing.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Notes all the ideas spouting forth from his crew::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I could take a riot detachment down to the surface and try to secure the area, Sir.

CIV_B`lee says:
*CMO* Unknown at this time, just giving you a heads up.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: From what I hear might do well to beam them to the Brig.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: Negative.  We aren't going to do anything to escalate the situation even more, Lieutenant.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CIV* Thanks.  Go ahead and beam them here.  If we need to take them to Sickbay we will.  Can you tell us why there are wounded?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb: Nevermind.  Just an idea, we shall beam out the personnel that are causing the trouble.

CSO_Raal says:
::Tries frantically to locate the riot areas::

OPS_Owens says:
::Turns to the FCO and chuckles::  FCO: They'd be packed pretty tight in there wouldn't they?  ::Grins::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Motions for the XO to execute the order::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks around:: CMO: I'm sure we've forgotten something. ::Thinks:: Ah, as they arrive, they should probably be checked out by Medical, yes?

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: You said a "few".

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: It's beginning to spre-- CRACK! ::A furry fist slams him from the side as three Doman males leap onto the screen::

OPS_Owens says:
FCO: Sorry, I meant a few at a time but eventually...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods at OPS:: OPS: Commence your beaming, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: While we are beaming out the Doman, have some food beamed in.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks up at the view screen in time to see the Doman::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Suggest we beam over anestizine gas into the station.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks at Tari, wondering what the answer will be::  CNS:  With so many, we will give them a cursy look over, but unless it is serious, we are rather limited in all areas.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Shakes his head in astonishment::

OPS_Owens says:
::Hears the XO and snaps back to work::  XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Starts setting up the transporter buffers and begins the process::  CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods:: CMO: Yes, we'll be stretched, for sure

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS/CMO* Take care, our guests may not react to well to being beamed to the ship.  Try to present them with food as soon as they come in, to see if they settle down long enough for us to organize them.

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
ACTION: Phaser fire is seen on screen, stunning the three Doman.

OPS_Owens says:
::Sends some teams to begin replicating food for beaming over to the station::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks in horror as three Doman are shot down::

CIV_B`lee says:
*CMO* Looks like a possible riot broke out among the refugees.

CNS_Richardson says:
*XO* Acknowledged. ::Moves over to start the replicators into action::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
FCO: I'll keep that in mind as a last resort.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Should the liners also begin beaming? They are ill equipped for such.

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
ACTION: Various Doman are beamed into the cargo bays of the Paula Greene, all are terrified now.

OPS_Owens says:
::Starts the first wave::  XO: First group in bound, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks the internal sensors in the cargo bays::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees the incoming influx of refugees and sets to work calming them::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notices the activity on the viewer::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Yes, give them the order.  Have the people beamed to the galleys.  And keep them stocked with food.  That should be enough.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO/CTO: Has the situation calmed down?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, I suggest flooding the Cargo bays with a mild, calming sedative, just enough to relax the Doman.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Makes soothing sounds, trying to calm them::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CTO: Yes, do it.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Sends new instructions to the liners and has them begin beaming::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: I think the refugees are confused and scared right now.

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins sending food back to the station where the refugees came from.  Starts the loop over again::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CTO: Have our people move out of there until the gas takes effect.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: I'm sensing a large influx of emotions.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Keeps smiling and trying to look reassuring, offering bowls of food::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Commander, the station is reporting the riots are beginning to die down.  I think we may have been successful Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets up the computer to release a mild sedative through the ventilation systems in the Cargo Bays.  Activates the ventilators and releases the sedative::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Feels very ineffectual, but keeps trying::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps console alerting the Paula Greene staff to clear the Cargo bays for 5 minutes::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Anger, bewilderment, sadness, the entire negative spectrum.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Shakes his head and keeps silent, as he waits for the events to unfold::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Watches the screen to see if the Commander reappears::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@::Gets back on screen, the right side of his face scratched badly by the claws of the Doman:: COM: Paula Greene: CO: It seems everything's are beginning to calm down, thanks to you, no doubt?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb:  I fear it may only be a temporary solution, Commander.  Would you like to beam over for treatment?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Gets the message and starts to feel a bit of the effect of the gases:: CMO: We're to clear out; round up the Starfleet personnel.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Hopes everyone gets out of there in time::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Four ships loaded.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Starts shooing all the officers out of the bay, while trying to keep the refugees from exiting as well::

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
@COM: Paula Greene: I'll be fine, Captain.  Shall we begin the process of beaming the remainder of the Doman over?

OPS_Owens says:
::Checks to see how many refugees have arrived on the Greene so far::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Very well, move them off the station.  What is their status, are the refugees calming down?

CEO_Hull says:
<Ens. Rowl> ::Orders her people out of the cargo bays as per orders, they back away to the corridor, the doors close::

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks the status of the Doman refugees::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Mixed results, so far.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits the cargo bay, having checked that the officers were out::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Sighs:: FCO: Considering the situation down there, I think that was to be expected.  Any serious problems we need to consider or do the liner crews have things under control?

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: But that could be of other animosities.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Checks the ventilation monitors and deactivates them.  Waits for the sedative to take affect::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: DeKalb: Affirmative.  We are having all rescue ships fill the living areas with a calmative gas.  Please let us know if you have any further problems so we can concentrate in those areas.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, shall I continue with the process until we are filled to capacity?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Be certain the liners are using the gas as well.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Yes, please.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Paces the corridor outside the cargo bays::

CEO_Hull says:
<Ens. Rowl>.They will be all right, it will take a few minutes to take effect.  ::Smiles::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: The last of the liners reports that it has beamed the passengers aboard, a total of 5,685.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CNS* The sedative is taking an affect.  The Doman should be conscious, but relaxed by now.  You may re-enter the cargo bays.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: I'm not sure they are equipped with such devices, Sir.  ::Eyes the FCO:: FCO: Could you find out and instruct them to use the sedatives, if they have them?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Notes that he's been standing in front of his chair this entire time and finally sits down::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Acknowledged.  We are roughly 40 percent filled thus far.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
*CTO* Acknowledged.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks at Rowl:: Rowl: They say we can enter again.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Activates the ventilators to extract the remaining sedative from the cargo bays::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: They should be able to replicate the gas fairly quickly and disperse it.

CEO_Hull says:
<Ens. Rowl>: Has her Engineers head for the cargo bay doors and enter::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Most of the ships report that they also carry hand canisters of the gas, but the ships are not designed for what we might call mass flooding.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Opens the cargo bay and enters again::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Sits down next to the CO:: CO: They probably won't be able to protect their own crew from the effects but as long as the Bridge is clear.. ::Smiles:: FCO: Mr. Baptiste, inform the liners of the plan, please.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks around at all the Doman and notes that they're much calmer::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notices a small fall-out in power on one transporter pad and re-adjusts the systems::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host Commander_DeKalb says:
ACTION: The Doman in the cargo bay turn to look at the CNS and back away slightly.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Gets on the horn again ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Have them replicate it and transport it in large quantities.  That should work.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Smiles reassuringly:: Doman: It's all right; we mean no harm. ::Gestures to the medical teams to begin scanning them to ensure no ill effects from the gas::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CIV: Here's challenge for you:  While we continue beaming, move us to a slightly higher plane so that we have a clear view and field of fire should we attract unwanted guests.

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins transferring some of that reserve power to the environmental systems::

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks internal sensors again and mentally checks the Doman's mindset::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Checks the long-range sensor monitor::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: Most ships do not have the compartmentalization for what you suggest.  Most affected would be their main engineering spaces.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Medical Teams> ::Begin to move around, scanning the apparently calmed Doman::

CEO_Hull says:
<Ens. Rowl> ::Her engineering team assist in the cargo bay, replicating food and begin distributing throughout the cargo bays to the Doman refugees::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Keeps smiling reassuringly and directs other crew to continue handing out food to the Doman::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins to shift position as the beam out continues::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Mr. Baptiste, have the liners come up in formation behind us so we can leave as soon as we're done.  OPS: Status on the transport?

CIV_B`lee says:
::Opens up the distance between the Paula Greene and the other ships slightly::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: One of the stunned Doman from before lies at the Counselor's feet.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Smiles at Aurora:: CMO: It looks like the gas has calmed them down a bit. They're still a little skittish, though.

OPS_Owens says:
::Checking the status thus far::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: The liners are prepared for departure.  They have not had much success as yet with assigning people to their staterooms but that can be done in time.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Nearly there, Sir.  I believe a couple of more minutes and we'll be finished.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Stoops down to the Doman and touches its face:: Doman: Listen to me, it's all right.  Let's make you more comfortable.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks around and nods, concern in her eyes::

CEO_Hull says:
*XO* Sir, warp core is ready as she'll ever be.  We can depart at the Captain's discretion.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Tries to help it move to a cot nearby::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CEO* Thank you, Chief.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: No response, since he's stunned, unconscious, out like a light, cold like a cucumber, decked like a deck of cards, sleeping like a baby and so forth.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Watches as things are going well, too well::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Long-range tactical scans are clear.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Don't forget to beam back the food.  We don't want to leave the Outpost. soiled.  ::Grins::

OPS_Owens says:
::Is feeling rather pleased at the efficiency of the Paula Greene's systems::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Runs a general scan on them, making sure there were no adverse affects to their feline physiology::

CIV_B`lee says:
CO: We're in position, Captain.

OPS_Owens says:
::Desperately tries to refrain a smile at the XO::  XO: I have it covered, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CIV: Very good.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees no response from the stunned Doman and struggles to move him to a cot herself::

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: All the ships are ready on our word.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods at the FCO::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CIV: Mr. B’lee, plot a course towards Babylon Station.

CIV_B`lee says:
::Brushes his hands across the control pulling up the destination from the flight library and calculating the proper course:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Manages to deposit the stunned Doman on the cot with the help of another officer who came to her aid::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Starts receiving security reports from all teams.  Taps the console logging them into the ship's security logs::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Prepares to send the initiate signal::

CSO_Raal says:
::Turns attention to sensors between Outpost 119 and Babylon Station::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Signals the other vessels to stand by for warp::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Straightens up and pushes a stray strand of hair back behind her ear:: CMO: They're quieter now at least.  Are there any indications that the gas has ill effects on them?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Stands and helps make a pathway::  CNS: It looks like there is no ill effect.  They should be fine in little while.

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins to top off the power needs in the environment systems::  XO: Life support systems operating 100% efficiency, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: OPS: Are we done with the transports?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Waits for the XO to report that all freighters are ready to depart::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods:: CMO: That's good. We'd best have the food ready for when they come round, though.  You were cooking, right?  ::Grins::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Reconfigures the tactical scanners specifically to detect Elleb vessels::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: My apologies, Sir.  We are ready to continue, Sir, all present and accounted for.

CEO_Hull says:
::Begins monitoring all ship’s subsystems on the Master Display.  PTC's are humming with plasma flow::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Grabs a blanket and covers up the Doman slumbering on the cot::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CNS:  I'll call Tealk down.  ::Looks around::  I did not realize they were so tall.  I wonder if we will have enough food for this bunch?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CO: Sir, we're ready.  All liners are in formation and we currently have the rest of the refugees from the station.  She is clear.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Moves over and starts conveying food from replicators to tables::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Patches up a few minor cuts::

CNS_Richardson says:
CMO: The replicators should be able to keep up, I think.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CIV: Warp 6, please.  Engage.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Sends the signal to initiate course::  XO: Fleet signal sent, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
::Continues looking at sensors throughout the intended course::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Bends down beside a child and begins working on what looks like an old wound::

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins the necessary adjustments for warp speed::

CIV_B`lee says:
::Nods:: CO: We're on our way, Sir.  ::Engages the warp engines::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Watches as the stars turn from spot and speckles to clear lines::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
All: Very good job, everyone.  Now let's get to Babylon Station in one piece.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Amen, Sir.  ::Looking down at the long-ranges sensor monitor::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Verifies the other ships are in position::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *XO* Things seem under control down here, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Silently lets out a sigh of relief:: CO: That didn't go too bad.

OPS_Owens says:
::Hearing the CO he wonders if that is possible considering the trouble they had with 101 Z'Karians on board::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Directs one of the nurses to assist a group of children::

CNS_Richardson says:
Aurora: How long do you think they'll be sedated? ::Looks over the sedated Doman::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CNS*  Glad to hear it, Counselor.  Hopefully from now on we'll be able to keep them under control until we reach Babylon Station.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Looks up::  CNS: I would approximate about an hour.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Long-range scans are clear of Elleb vessels, Sir.

FCO_Baptiste says:
XO: It appears that all ships are keeping station.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods:: CMO: Hopefully, they'll come out of it slowly, have some time to adjust to their new surroundings.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods at the FCO::

CSO_Raal says:
::Hopes this is a flawless journey::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Hearing her husband's voice, relaxes a bit with a smile::  CNS:  Remind him he has dinner tonight.  ::Smiles::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Grins::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: And with that, the Paula Greene and it's convoy leap into warp towards Babylon Station.

Host AGM_Selan says:
