Host Menarti says:
USS Paula Greene, 10601.23
Host Menarti says:
The Paula Greene has arrived at the Anarchion system, where they learned that the loss of communications was due to the beginning of a system coup where the old regime was replaced by another group.  The fate of the Federation Embassy staff is uncertain, as they are being held as potential enemies of the new state.

@*XO*:  Commander, what's your status.
CEO_Bishara says:
@::sitting at her bridge station::
CTO-Gettem says:
CO:  Are you sure we can't clear a path for them Captain?
CMO_Hayes says:
::enters the shuttle and looks around trying to find where she will sit this time around::
CTO-Gettem says:
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@*CO* shuttle craft ready for launch
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  Right now, no.  I want to try this diplomatically first.  But I'll keep that suggestion in mind.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: Transporter lock on the Away team is stable.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  You never let me have any fun Sir... I have some really nice photon torpedoes... would hate to see them go to waste or their warranty expire.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@*XO*:  You're cleared for launch.  Let's hope we can do this diplomatically.  I really don't want to be saving your butt down there.  ::grins::
CTO-Gettem says:
@::giggles::  CO:  But he has such a nice one Sir!
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@::looks over at the CTO::  CTO:  They have warranties?  ::smiles::
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  You bet Sir!  These are Ferengi models and you know how long they might last?
CMO_Hayes says:
::puts the med kit under her sit and sits down waiting for the launch::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CEO:  Acknowledged.  Please make sure that lock is constant.  I want them beamed out of there at the first sign of trouble.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: Open shuttle bay doors
CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Understood sir. I will have them out before you can count to three.
CTO-Gettem says:
::wonders if she gave the AT the Japanese phasers::
FCO_Shilos says:
::sitting at the shuttle's helm station continuing to prepare for departure.  She signals the shuttle bay crew to open the bay doors.:: XO: Doors opening shortly.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CEO:  Since some think I can't count that high, better make it one!  ::grins::
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: Even better. ::grins::
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Now Captain, you know you can count to two... don't be so modest!
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: How about half a second? ::grins::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CTO:  I'm anything BUT modest!
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  Sounds good to me! ::snickers::
CEO_Bishara says:
@All: Well then half a second for beam out. ::grins::
FCO_Shilos says:
::watches the doors glide open and smiles at the black expanse of space:: XO: Ready for launch at your orders sir.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  I think we need to have a party... the AT will have all the fun if we don't... I am sure the bartender can send some drinks up to us.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Checks her straps::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: take us out nice and slow
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Well if you are inviting I will take an Andorian Brandy.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  How about for now, you monitor those ships and their weapons status while the AT is launching.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  Sure, we can always have them put it on the Captain's tab later.
CEO_Bishara says:
@::hands fly over her console as if guided and double checks the transporter locks::
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Ok, if I must... :;taps her console bringing up the ships and their movements::  All quiet on the space front for now Sir...  I don't see anyone powered up.  Shall we go to red alert and see if they catch it?
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Actually I would rather have them on the Admirals tab.
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Anything special you want me to do while on the mission, Cmdr?
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  That won't be necessary Lt.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Are you sure Captain?  All I have to do is hit this little red button here. ::pointing at it::
FCO_Shilos says:
::smiles viciously at the XO:: XO: Slow sir?  ::she slides the throttles slowly forward easing the vessel out of the shuttle bay.  She smiles than moves the throttle controls up to 'max cruise'::
Host Menarti says:
Action: Two Anarchion vessels wait just forward of the Paula Greene, waiting to escort the shuttle.
CEO_Bishara says:
@::watches the view screen with one eye and her console with the other::
CTO-Gettem says:
@@CO:  Then again, my hand could accidentally slip and poof!  Those two ships would just disappear!  ::grinning::
Host Menarti says:
#COM: Shuttle: Paula Greene Shuttle, this is Menarti, you will follow us in, please.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
CMO: your adding medical attention for this mission should the case arrive
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  Now isn't he just the politest thing saying please to them?
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@::looks over at the CTO and slightly raises an eyebrow::
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: And while there are no medical emergencies sir?
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Yes he sure is.
FCO_Shilos says:
::buts the shuttle into a tight barrel roll than flips it on its back skimming close to the top of the Paula Greene upside down.  She than points the shuttle at the largest craft and eases the throttle down to a 'sane' speed::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
COM: Acknowledged.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: Follow them in
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:   Now that girl can fly! ::smirking::
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Yep he sure can fly that shuttle. ::smiling::
Host Menarti says:
Action: About a third of the rest of the Anarchion fleet moves in front of the Paula Greene in a holding position once the shuttle and escorts pass by.
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CEO/CTO:  That is certainly rude of them.  Don't they realize we can obliterate them in just about one shot?
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO/CTO: Well I guess they don't want us to see what they are going to do next.
FCO_Shilos says:
::keeps the shuttle inverted in relation to the other ships in the area.  She brings it in close behind Menarti's ship.  She cuts throttle to match the speed of the larger vessel.::
CEO_Bishara says:
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Is that a promise Sir?  I am very good a carom shots!
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  I never make a promise I don't plan to keep.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  All right Captain!  ::inputs commands into the targeting computer::
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Well she is a good pilot but I can fly this ship just as good as anyone else.  But then again I am just her lowly chief engineer.  ::grins widely::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: Any problems thus far?
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO:  Lock on AT is stable and holding sir.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  By the way Captain, where are you from?
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@::stands to stretch his legs::  CEO:  Let's hope we keep it that way.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Grumbles slightly:: XO: Just the idiot pilot on that ship is wasting our time.  We could smoke 'em in a minute, but here we sit wasting flight time that could be more artistically used.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: Should be baring any dampening fields pop up.
Host Menarti says:
#COM: Shuttle: We are beginning our descent, there will be a homing beam coming up to direct you down momentarily.
Host Menarti says:
Action: Almost upon completion of the hail, a homing beam comes up to direct the shuttle to the surface.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  What kind of engines do you think they have?
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
COM: we are begening our descent
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: From what I can see and scan it looks like a mix match of various types but all of them are original from the planet and their races.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  They have warp and impulse capability?
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Barely.
FCO_Shilos says:
::mutters than breaks off to follow the beam in weaving the shuttle around the course providing the people on the planet a much more difficult target if they decide to take pot shots, and providing an overhead special for the populous below as a ragged zing zag follows the shuttle in vapor trails::
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  Well their weapons are worth a flip... now if weapons were egos that would be another matter.  ::laughing::
Host Menarti says:
Action: The landing field is on an open field, with fence enclosing an area about 2000 Meters on a side.  Outside of the fence there is a large crowd of people, watching.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CTO: Their weapons couldn't hurt a flea.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: Decrease speed for descent
Host Menarti says:
Action: The shuttle is directed to land on a platform, and Menarti's ship lands on the one right next to it.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Captain, why are we putting up with these people?  IMHO this is a waste of Federation time and personnel Sir...
FCO_Shilos says:
::spots the landing field looking 'up' at it on her decent, the shuttle still upside down, and still going fairly fast:: XO: What, and not give our adoring fans a fly by? ALL: Everyone wave. ::She sweeps the shuttle upside down over the crowd at 50m than brings the shuttle around Menarti's ship.  She than rolls the ship and neatly sets it down::
Host Menarti says:
#::After rushing his crew through the landing, quickly disembarks and rushes to meet the shuttle.::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  To rescue our embassy staff with diplomacy.  You know that's the way things are done with the Federation.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CO:  Yes Sir ::sighing::  I don't see how they got themselves in this pickle to begin with!
FCO_Shilos says:
::settles the ship than begins post flight checks:: ALL: Please keep all appendages inside the vehicle until it has reached a complete stop, thank you for flying Paula Green Air, and have a nice day.
CMO_Hayes says:
::makes a weird face after FCO's comment as she doesn't understand if that was meant to be funny::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: grins at FCO::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
:: exits the shuttle::
FCO_Shilos says:
XO: Someone should remain with the ship sir.
CTO-Gettem says:
@::looks at her tactical display, seeing nothing out of the ordinary::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
*CO* we have landed and on our way sir
CTO-Gettem says:
@::dang! it took them long enough to get down there::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@*XO*:  Understood.  Keep an open channel at all times.
Host Menarti says:
XO/ CMO/ FCO: Welcome to Anarchion.  We have a tradition, that in times of conflict, potential or real, the leaders exchange weapons to show that there will be no attacks during the conference.  So you may have one of your party hold this until you depart.  ::Holds out a fair sized weapon, butt end first.::
FCO_Shilos says:
::looks at the XO::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
FCO: That’s you.
FCO_Shilos says:
::nods and draws her phaser, she takes Menarti's weapon and offers her sidearm to the man::
CTO-Gettem says:
@begins to whistle... off tune::
CMO_Hayes says:
::Gets up and picks up her med kit and approaches the others::
CTO-Gettem says:
@::changes to singing... off key::
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CEO/CTO:  Anything out of the ordinary?
Host Menarti says:
XO/ FCO: I am sorry, the tradition is that the leaders exchange weapons.  I thought you ::Nods to the XO.::  were the leader.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: No sir nothing to report so far.
CTO-Gettem says:
@CTO:  Just me Sir... are you sure I can't fire something to create a little excitement?  ::yawns::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
MENARTI: I assure you that we will not attack, and are here peacefully
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CTO:  I'm sure.
FCO_Shilos says:
::Eyes the XO but doesn’t say a word.::
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Sir... ::decides not to talk::
CTO-Gettem says:
@::decides to sit, then realizes she is REALLY sleepy, as her heads begins to lower to her console::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Menarti: I am the second in command for the Starship Paula Greene
Host Menarti says:
XO: Very well, your officer may still hold mine.  We will honor our culture's customs.  ::hands the weapon over.::  Follow me, please.  We have a meeting room inside this building.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
::nods:: Menarti: Please lead the way
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@::listens closely to what's being said down on the planet::
Host Menarti says:
::Enters the room.::  XO: Your Federation team is being led here, and should be here in a few minutes.
FCO_Shilos says:
::shrugs than reholsters her side arm.  She than begins to examine Menarti's weapon.  Before following the others she returns to the shuttle, locks it and activates the security system at level ten.: ALL: As a suggestion, I would move to close to our shuttle, it would be most unfortunate.
CMO_Hayes says:
::follows the XO::
Host Menarti says:
AT: Would any of you care for a drink or some other form of refreshments?  We have an excellent vintage of our egg wine available.
CTO-Gettem says:
@::begins humming Pop Goes the Weasel::
CMO_Hayes says:
Menarti: No thank you for me. Maybe later.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Menarti: No thank you
CTO-Gettem says:
@CEO:  Wake up over there!  If I can't sleep, neither can you!
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@::looks over at the CEO::  CEO:  We can handle things from here.  You're relieved.  If we need you, we know where to find you.
Host Menarti says:
AT: Really?  I suppose our ways are different.  A toast is yet another sign of a peace offering.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: I am sorry sir has been a rough couple of days. Thanks.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
*FCO*: what do scans of this building show? Any threats?
CO_Capt_McAllister says:
@CEO:  I might need you on your toes.  Now go.
CEO_Bishara says:
@CO: Sir I am going.  ::leaves for the TL::
Host Menarti says:
XO: I assure you, we are men of our word.  Do you think we would be foolish enough to provoke you with an illegal ambush?  You are here under a flag of truce, unless your word "truce" is different then ours.
CMO_Hayes says:
XO: Sir, maybe we should toast. After all, we need to show the Menarti we are trustable too.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Menarti: it's just standard procedure, I assure you.
FCO_Shilos says:
::steps back inside the shuttle than scans the building:: *XO* I'm showing a lot of weapons signatures but that is to be expected.
Host Menarti says:
::Nods, pours 4 drinks, hands 1 to his assistant, and leaves the other 2 sitting on the counter.::  Sky: We offer this in sign of willingness, and as homage to peace.  ::Drinks the small glass as his assistant does likewise.::
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
*FCO* thank you. keep me posted and relay this to the Captain. Ray out
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Menarti: is that a custom of your new government?
Host Menarti says:
XO: No, it is a custom of our people.  Even the regime we replaced followed it.
XO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
Menarti: I see we have much to learn
