Mission Summary:
Host Susan says:
When the Boowa reached sensor range all appeared normal at Arcadia Station.  However when they tried to make contact for docking clearance, there was no response.  Visual contact confirmed that the station was not there, though sensors still showed the station to be in it's last known location.  A supply ship appeared on sensors and disappeared for a short time as it was passing on normal trade routes.  The sensor blind zone that was discovered appears to be a cloaked ship.  Further information is being gathered on the sensor blind zone as the crew try to confirm that it is a cloaked ship and that the sensors are giving false data.

OPS_Walker says:
::at OPS on the bridge of the Boowa::
FCO_Jankara says:
::enters the bridge and glances around for a moment::
EO_Hoyt says:
::still sitting at the helm::
BCEO_Powers says:
::In Engineering::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTION: The tachyon pings continue to outline what appears to be a massive ship of unknown design.
OPS_Walker says:
::nods to Jaina::
OPS_Walker says:
CO/BCO:  Sirs!  It's HUGE!
FCO_Jankara says:
BCO: Flight Officer Jankara, reporting as ordered Ma'am.
EO_Hoyt says:
OPS:I would say it's about twice the length of a Sovereign?
FCO_Jankara says:
::glances up at Johnny and smiles briefly::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Keeps an eye on the surrounding area, looking for incoming vessels outside of the blind::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
FCO: Relieve Lieutenant Hoyt at the helm.  EO: See what you can do to help Ens. Powers boost gain to see if we can do something to penetrate or bring down that cloak, mirror, or whatever that thing is.
EO_Hoyt says:
OPS: Didn't the dominion have a ship about that big?
FCO_Jankara says:
BCO: Yes Ma'am. ::moves to Flight:: EO: I'll take over here.
ACTO_Nahri says:
EO: Why would the Dominion break their treaty?
ACTO_Nahri says:
EO: And how would the ship have gotten here, deep in the Federation, without being noticed at all?
OPS_Walker says:
::tapping controls trying to resolve the patterns:  CO/BCO: It's about twice as long as the station and about as wide.  I've never seen anything this big, sirs.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
*BCEO* Bridge to Powers, See what you can do to increase power output, we need more power to allot to sensors and possibly weapons.
EO_Hoyt says:
::nods:: ACTO: Not everyone in the dominion was happy about the treaty. I don’t know...we don’t know what that thing is out there, I am just thinking that's all. A cloak could get this far also.
CO_Claymore says:
::stepping back and letting BCO take care of it waiting for him to guide him somewhere::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
CO: Captain, have you ever heard of anything that large?
BCEO_Powers says:
*BCO*: I'll see what I can do.
FCO_Jankara says:
::stands at Flight patiently waiting for the EO to head to Engineering::
OPS_Walker says:
EO:  Well, maybe so...but it doesn’t look like any configuration I've ever seen.
ACTO_Nahri says:
EO: It does not matter if everyone was happy about it.  The Founders made a decision; the Vorta and Jem'Hadar will follow their gods' orders.
CO_Claymore says:
BCO: Maybe a Skree station, and their cloaking technology is pretty advanced.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
EO: Belay that order, take the Science station, scan for energy readings.  I want to know if there are any traceable energy readings.
EO_Hoyt says:
ACTO: All my crewmates are over there...you ever heard of a Religious Revolution? ::goes over to ops:: OPS: How's it going walker?
EO_Hoyt says:
BCO: Yes Ma'am ::goes over to science::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
CO: I don't think even a Skree station could be brought in without notice, especially the way this cloak seems to mirror what should be seen.
OPS_Walker says:
EO:  ::never looks up from the controls::  Fine, Sir.  
FCO_Jankara says:
::slides into the FCO's chair::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
OPS: Try hailing that vessel on all frequencies.  Maybe they 'uh, at least I hope they are, friendly.
FCO_Jankara says:
::catches up on what is happening and feels her neck growing tense::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
FCO:  Alter course toward the vessel.
FCO_Jankara says:
BCO: Aye Ma'am.  Speed?
OPS_Walker says:
BCO:  Aye, Captain.  ::opens hailing frequencies, all known channels and lingua-codes::
EO_Hoyt says:
::starts an intensive tachyon scan toward dead area::
BCEO_Powers says:
::Talks to his engineers:: All: Ok we need more power to sensors and some reserve for weapons. Take power from minor systems that are not essential. Lets go!
FCO_Jankara says:
::lays in a new course on a direct heading for the vessel::
OPS_Walker says:
ALL:  I've got a response! 
OPS_Walker says:
ALL:  Translation circuits are refining the code now...this is complex...nothing I've ever seen.
EO_Hoyt says:
BCO: All the scans are showing is the outline of the ship...
Host BCO_Mathers says:
OPS: Visual or audio?
ACTO_Nahri says:
CO: Well, at least it's not the Skree.  The translators would know how to translate Skree.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
EO: See if you can do something to analyze their cloak, use every sensor and probe you need to find out.
OPS_Walker says:
BCO:  Still sorting that out, sir.  Incompatible technologies and all that...this will be a few minutes.
OPS_Walker says:
::excited and working like crazy to refine the signal::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
OPS: Put it up either way when it breaks through.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTION:  The translator begins interpreting the signal.
EO_Hoyt says:
::nods at the BCO:: BCO: Permission to launch a class 5 probe?
Host BCO_Mathers says:
EO: Granted.
FCO_Jankara says:
::sets speed for impulse until told otherwise::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
*BCEO* Report to the bridge, we may need your input.
EO_Hoyt says:
::loads and launches the probe::
BCEO_Powers says:
*BCO*: On my way.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
CO: I want you to take over here  ::stands and walks over to OPS::
OPS_Walker says:
BCO:  We have an audio signal, sir.  On speakers...  ::flips a switch::
FCO_Jankara says:
::flexes her hands a little, feeling the skin still extremely tight::
CO_Claymore says:
BCO: Yes, sir
Host BCO_Mathers says:
<K'tir'kr> COM: Boowa: We are the K'tir'kr, we are here as explorers and mean no threat.
BCEO_Powers says:
::Arrives on the bridge::
EO_Hoyt says:
::says to him self:: Self: Finally, now we can being to get some where.
FCO_Jankara says:
::wonders briefly how making the station disappear isn't a threat::
EO_Hoyt says:
BCO/CO:I am getting an image of the ship.
ACTO_Nahri says:
CO: Captain, I protest.  Your place is in command of this vessel.  Captain Claymore is not part of this crew's roster.
OPS_Walker says:
::watches the ACTO and wonders if there is a problem here::
EO_Hoyt says:
::glares over at the ACTO:: ACTO: Watch your tongue.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
OPS: Ask them where they are from and if they know anything about the missing station.
EO_Hoyt says:
ACTO: That is my captain you’re talking about.
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTO: And your place is to obey orders and my orders are to respect Captain Claymore, it's his station that is missing and I'm more interested in these...whatever they are.
ACTO_Nahri says:
EO: You will watch your tongue, Lieutenant, or I will throw you in the Brig myself for your insubordinate attitude.
OPS_Walker says:
BCO:  Aye, sir.  ::sends transmission::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Hears his Captain speak::  CO: Aye, sir.
EO_Hoyt says:
::looks over at Captain Claymore::
CO_Claymore says:
:::looks up at the screen:: COMM: K'tir'kr: I am Captain Claymore of Arcadia Station, the large facility that is in this area.
FCO_Jankara says:
ACTO/EO: With all due respect to you both, can get have a peeing contest later?  Captain Mathers orders are law here.
EO_Hoyt says:
::gives the ACTO another glare then goes back to his console::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Ignores the FCO and EO, focusing on his orders and not those who have no authority over him and his vessel::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTION:  The view screen changes from the exterior of the K'tir'krn ship to that of an bipedal individual with scaly skin, a single red eye in the center of his forehead and 8 arms.
EO_Hoyt says:
~~ACTO: It's not your vessel~~
FCO_Jankara says:
::glances at Hoyt and Nahri then back to her own station:: Self: Some just have to push it. ::sets back to work::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
::turns to Hoyt:: EO: But it is mine, Lieutenant, and you will cease this insubordinate attitude or retire to your quarters.
OPS_Walker says:
::looks at Hoyt and just continues his work holding open a very tenuous connection::
EO_Hoyt says:
CO: Captain Claymore sir...the probe is sending back information now.
CO_Claymore says:
EO: Give me the highlights
Host BCO_Mathers says:
<K'Tir'kr> COM: Claymore: Greetings Captain, I am Chief Tewando K'mar of the K'Tir'kr, we know of this vessel you speak as we study it.
EO_Hoyt says:
CO: Sir it's revealing an unidentifiable energy source and is showing that the cloak is more of a mirror...it's weird.
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Regards K'Tir'kr on the view screen, and tries to look at anything behind him... any schematics, panels, consoles, any help or inkling of their capabilities::
FCO_Jankara says:
::continues working::
FCO_Jankara says:
::sees them reaching the perimeter and starts setting to station keeping::
OPS_Walker says:
::runs basic compatibility scans of the comm equipment on the vessel to see if he can clean up the transmissions a bit::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTION:  The background behind K'mar shows a near black metal, with a multitude of computer screens and schematics.
CO_Claymore says:
EO: Ok... COMM: K'Tir'Kr: Is that vessel safe? We can't get to that station.
EO_Hoyt says:
CO: Captain, a moment, I have an idea.
FCO_Jankara says:
::watches what's happening very carefully::
OPS_Walker says:
::trains the translator matrix a bit better and uses screen-capture data to attempt to teach it the written language he can see on the screen::
Host BCO_Mathers says:
ACTION: K'Mar closes his eye as if in thought and slowly disappears, appearing on the Boowa near the view screen.
FCO_Jankara says:
::tries to search for other vessels in the area but to no avail::
EO_Hoyt says:
::grabs a phaser instinctively::
OPS_Walker says:
::fingers the intruder alert button but doesn't push it::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Is slightly surprised, and his hand hovers at his side, but he makes no moves, only prepares himself::
FCO_Jankara says:
::grabs her seat to keep her from jumping out of it::
FCO_Jankara says:
::thinks "I really don't like this"::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::With his left hand, he has the computer scan the view screen images they got, and begin reconstructing them to be readable::
Host K`Mar says:
::slowly looks at the individuals on the bridge and bows low in greeting:: ALL: Greetings from the K'tik'kr.
EO_Hoyt says:
::has the phaser trained on K'tik'kr::
Host K`Mar says:
ALL:  I am K'Mar
CO_Claymore says:
::is startled and looks at the others:: ALL: Stay calm
Host K`Mar says:
::sees the weapons and closes his eye::
Host K`Mar says:
ACTION:  The weapons turn to dust.
BCEO_Powers says:
::Starts checking on the engineering console as to how this guy just beamed over::
CO_Claymore says:
K'Mar: greets, welcome aboard the Boowa. I am Capt. Claymore.
FCO_Jankara says:
::looks up at K'Mar, wondering why he came here::
OPS_Walker says:
::takes his finger away from the intruder alert and calls up the translation matrices and brings all available extra computer bandwidth to the translators::
EO_Hoyt says:
::watches the phaser disappear:: CO: Captain?
CO_Claymore says:
K'mar: Can you tell me about my station.
CO_Claymore says:
EO: Phaser down...
EO_Hoyt says:
CO: The phaser just turned to dust
Host K`Mar says:
CO: Your station is on our ship, Captain.  We are studying it before taking it to our home world.
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Feels a slight wind at his side... very well, then.  If they wanted him dead, they would be dead::
EO_Hoyt says:
::looks at K'Mar trying to find a way inside his head::
FCO_Jankara says:
::her mind goes to Berry, Mia, Michaels, and the rest of her staff::
CO_Claymore says:
::eyes widen:: K'Mar: You can't do that, it's our station.
Host K`Mar says:
CO: I can bring it to you, if you prefer, Captain.  Do you want it here?
OPS_Walker says:
::working feverishly on penetrating the alien computer programming language::
FCO_Jankara says:
Self: God protect them, they've shrunk and maybe killed our friends::
Host K`Mar says:
ACTION:  Tactical and Operations are given access to the alien data and the two technologies emerge.
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Looks at his Commanding Officer, and makes a motion with his head that Mathers should come look at something on his console::
CO_Claymore says:
K'Mar: I'd like it where it was, thank you. And then we can go there and talk... exchange information about our cultures through talking.
Host K`Mar says:
CTO/OPS: This will allow you to find the information you seek.  
OPS_Walker says:
BCO: ::whispers::  We've managed to merge the transmissions.  ::amazed::  This stuff is so far beyond anything I have seen it's like magic, sir.::
EO_Hoyt says:
::sends a text message to OPS::NEED A HAND LOOKING INTO THEIR COMPUTERS
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Waves his hands as his console lights up, scrolling with information::  K'Mar: Ah, I see that it does.  Thank you...
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  ::nods::  Thank you, sir.
Host K`Mar says:
::bows low:: CO: We can talk, the study of the station will be complete in a matter of hours.
OPS_Walker says:
::text messages the EO back:  Already on it but thanks::
EO_Hoyt says:
K'Mar: Study? What kind of study?
FCO_Jankara says:
CO: Sir, if they are studying the station, why do they need to take it as well?  Couldn't they return it to it's rightful place for us?
CO_Claymore says:
K'Mar: It is agreeable with me, as long as my station returns to where it was and how it was with everyone on board.
OPS_Walker says:
::a thought strikes him::  CO:  Sir...what about an informational exchange?  We give them all the data LCARS will allow and they won't need the station.
Host K`Mar says:
<Mathers> OPS: Fascinating, keep recording.  ::walks over to the CTO:: ACTO: What do you have, Commander?
OPS_Walker says:
BCO:  Aye, sir.  ::still recording::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Speaking low::  BCO: I analyzed their bridge... the computer has indicated this console... ::points to the image on his screen:: ... is likely a holographic controller.  There's a program running, and the station is a key part of it.  ::Looks at his Captain::
Host K`Mar says:
::smiles showing shark-like teeth:: OPS: We have that information, we seek to study the people, the way they interact, the way they live, without their knowledge of being observed.  
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  Oh, I get it.
Host K`Mar says:
ALL:  See for yourself. ::motions to the view screen behind him and the image changes to what appears to be an exterior view with the station at the center::
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  Sir, You're a guest and all that here...but can I have permission to speak freely?
Host K`Mar says:
<Mathers> ACTO: They must have the station within some kind of holodeck or the like.
FCO_Jankara says:
::realizes that things are happening too quickly for her to be answered, so she concentrates back on her work::
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Looks up to the view screen::  BCO: Well, we're being assured, at least, that everyone's okay... would you like me to remain here, or go to the Tac Info Center?
Host K`Mar says:
OPS: Of course...
Host K`Mar says:
FCO: That is something that our scientists are considering.  There is a chance that they will want the station and the beings inside for our museum.
Host K`Mar says:
CO: That will be something that the scientists decide.
ACTO_Nahri says:
::Thinks that every time he says something, the visitor says something to either pre-empt what he's saying, or to contradict him::
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  Our peoples consider this an act of hostility.  We call it kidnapping.  These people have families that will miss them.  We like to learn about other cultures too...but we do it differently.  We send a representative to live among them.  We call 'em Ambassadors.
CO_Claymore says:
K'Mar: Why don't you ask your scientists if our databases will provide the information you need.
Host K`Mar says:
CO: That information has been obtained from the station computers, that is how we were able to allow information to return to you.
EO_Hoyt says:
K'Mar: Would you allow us to board the station?
FCO_Jankara says:
K'Mar: Maybe previous recordings of what has happened on the station?  Security watches many parts of the station and those recordings are kept in our database.
Host K`Mar says:
ACTION:  K'Mar turns to the screen as if hearing from that direction, then the holodeck image goes blank.
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  I mean, I'm willin' to bet there are some folks here that might like to be our representatives to you to explain us to you if you'd do the same.  Open diplomatic relations I mean.
FCO_Jankara says:
::sees the screen go blank and gets nervous, imagining her friends disappearing for all time::
Host K`Mar says:
OPS: That is something that our scientists just found in their analysis.
Host K`Mar says:
OPS: We do not wish hostilities, the station has been returned.
EO_Hoyt says:
::tries to get a sense of people on the station::
OPS_Walker says:
K'Mar:  Well, then, I'd say we've got the beginnings of understanding, sir.  With respect and all.
ACTO_Nahri says:
BCO: This has been amazingly easy, Captain.
Host K`Mar says:
ACTION:  The station reappears in it's proper location.
EO_Hoyt says:
CO: Sir, the station is back.
Host K`Mar says:
<Mathers> ACTO: Agreed, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
OPS_Walker says:
::confirms the location of the station from his console::  ALL:  He's right...it's there.
FCO_Jankara says:
::feels shivers run up her spine::
Host K`Mar says:
