 USS Cherokee NCC 61333 – 10205.26 – “Rendering Aid” Part 4

Host T`Sara says:
SUMMARY:  The Cherokee is now in orbit around a planet where technology is not plentiful.  Basically they are the equivalent of 18th century Earth.  An AT has been sent down to the surface in disguise, humanoid with lizard like features, hoping they blend in.
Host T`Sara says:
The AT has telepathically found T'Sara and are now moving in.  Will Gorath let them near the child or will the AT listen to him?  On the ship, the aCO once again has spoken to the changeling Lara and didn't like what he heard, while the other changeling is still dying and time is running out.  Will the crew sacrifice the changeling for the child?.
Host T`Sara says:
What secrets have not been revealed?

Host aCO_Lyon says:
::fights the urge to start pacing the bridge:: CSO/CEO: How's that scan coming along?
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@CTO/ OPS: Let's move in, slowly.  I don't want to spook them again and restart the chase.
OPS_Jones says:
@::nods::
CTO_Worthington says:
@CNS: Understood.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the bridge as he hears the aCO address him.:: CEO: What have we got?
Lana says:
::Nervously looking around for medical staff::
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO / CSO: There's not much new information. We've got the Narmanons and the child located and we haven't found anything else of interest in the planet, yet. Continuing scan.
Host T`Sara says:
@::tries to play stick ball with the other children but keeps missing the ball.  Keeps falling to the ground giggling.::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs because Michaela had to go back to sickbay:: *Keretta*: Ensign, please come to the bridge.
Lana says:
::Doesn't see any med staff, much to her consent, activates a comm panel:: *Bridge*:  Is there someone with authority up there?
CTO_Worthington says:
@::moving slowly with the others, preparing for whatever’s next::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*Lana*: What can I do for you, Lana?
Gorath says:
@::spots the strange visitors and heads out of his home and walks to them::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@::Approaches the group around T'Sara.::  Gorath:  Greetings, we have a great need to speak.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> *aCO*: Aye, sir. ::leaves the office and heads for the bridge::
CEO_Terumo says:
CSO: Can you help me with this village data? ::calls up some screens with multiple data on the village where the Narmanons are::
Host T`Sara says:
@::Looks at the funny people and begins to giggle again.::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over to SCI-1 to help with the scans.::  CEO: Sure. :: looks at the data from the villages.::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> ::exits on the bridge:: aCO: You were looking for me, sir?
Gorath says:
@::turns around and signals everyone behind him to enter his home and stay there, then turning to the CNS with a distrusting look::  CNS: And you might be...?
Lana says:
*aCO*: You must get us back home.. I'm coming up there to make sure you get the point... ::cuts comm and walks over to a JT::
Host T`Sara says:
@::Feels herself grabbed by the arm and pulled inside.::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: I am a friend of T'Sara's mother.  I've come to take her home.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: Keretta: Yes, I need you to speak to Tach and keep me informed of what's happening down there.
CTO_Worthington says:
@::waiting anxiously as the CNS and Gorath speak::
OPS_Jones says:
@::listens to the CNS talk to one of the villagers::
Lana says:
::Opens the JT hatch and gets inside. Looking up for a second, she morphs into a bird of prey and flies upwards::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta>::nods and takes a seat in one of the chairs:: ~~~CNS: Sir, Commander Lyon wants to know what the state of affairs are.~~~
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: We know what Lana did to your people and I think we can help.
Gorath says:
@::frowns a little::  CNS: Oh really...? ::glances at the rest of the AT::
Lana says:
::Arrives at deck one and bumps open the JT hatch::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~Keretta: I'm beginning to speak with Gorath.~~~
Lana says:
::Flies onto the bridge::.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> ~~~CNS: Please let me know when you've reached some kind of "agreement" with the locals.~~~
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: I can't be sure until we know exactly what is going on, though.  We've only gotten half the story, and a biased half at that.
CSO_Nash says:
CEO: Other than the fact that they are independently thriving, nothing has shown up yet.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::looks up as Lana enters the bridge:: Self: If I didn't know better I'd shoot her right there.
Lana says:
::Lands in front of Lyon and morphs back to her previous form::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::eyes Lana impassively:: Lana: Grand entrance.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~Keretta: Of course.~~~
Gorath says:
@CNS: Well, I'm well aware of what Lana did to our people...  As for T'Sara, she is safe with us and won't be going anywhere...
CEO_Terumo says:
CSO: It appears so. Maybe we should focus on finding weak spots on the village, in case we need a plan B.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> ::whispers:: aCO: Sir, Tach will keep me up to date on the happenings.
Lana says:
::Looks him straight in the eyes:: aCO: Just being more efficient than you humans.. Now, when will we arrive at my planet?
CSO_Nash says:
CEO: Noted.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Why not?  She needs to return to her mother, to those who know her specific needs.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::nods at Keretta's message:: Lana: We'll get to your planet as soon as I have my crew back on board.
CMO_Starr says:
::goes back to sickbay to check on the patients there::
Lana says:
::Shakes head lightly:: aCO: You can leave them to their business when you make the drop off trip, now can't you..
CMO_Starr says:
::notices the patients are dong ok and heads back to the bridge::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~Keretta: Let the Captain know I'm playing a hunch.  If I guess right, these people are taking children because they can't have any of their own.  I'm banking that we can fix that.~~~
Gorath says:
@::shakes his head slowly upon hearing the CNS's reply::  CNS: How do you dare come here claiming a child while you walk through..  ::gestures to the whole vicinity::  a population sentenced to die by this... this...  ::swallows then continues::  animal called Lana..  ::looks desperate::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::shakes his head:: Lana: I don't think so. Now if you want me to get you home, please let my doctors try and treat your colleague.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> ::leans over and whispers Tach's message to Rojer::
CTO_Worthington says:
@::hearing Gorath's statement, waiting for any possible openings::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
Lana: Besides, I'm trying to fix the mess YOU made, so kindly go back to sickbay, or I will make alternate arrangements for you.
CMO_Starr says:
::exits on to the bridge:: CO:  I've been thinking over about the females not being able to reproduce.  Maybe there is a way to reverse it..
Lana says:
::sounding more impatient by the second:: aCO: Do you know what kind of diplomatic incident would be caused if my companion would die in you sickbay, hmm? By the way, your medical staff isn't quite capable of even changing one of you diapers..
OPS_Jones says:
@::is getting more and more visibly upset as each word is spoken by Gorath::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Taking the child from its mother is as bad, if less wide spread, as what Lana did to you.  Two wrongs simply don't ever make a right.
CEO_Terumo says:
CSO: I've been collecting data about the Narmanons. Can you take a look at this? If I had to bet, I'd say there's something strange here.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::looks up:: CMO: Great, discuss it with Tach. I have a changeling to deal with.
CSO_Nash says:
CEO: What have you got. :: Looks at the data.::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
Lana: If you didn't "punish" these people like you did, I wouldn't be chasing them around your quadrant. At this stage, I could care so little for diplomatic incidents.
CMO_Starr says:
::hearing Lana's statement:  Lana:  If you and your colleague would be more truthful,  we could treat you better.  ~~~~CNS:  Tach, there may be a way to reverse what was done to the females,  but I would need to examine one to find out~~~~
Gorath says:
@::frowns and takes a step back::  CNS: Wait a minute... I know you people.. you are from the Maquis.. those animals that abducted T'Sara.....
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~CMO: I'm counting on your being able to.  I'll try and get a volunteer.~~~
OPS_Jones says:
@Gorath:  Excuse me, you don't know us at all to make that accusation.
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  Thanks and good luck~~~~
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Not exactly.  The Maquis are a rouge element, criminals who we wish to bring to justice.
Gorath says:
@::waves with his hands::  CNS: I warn you... don't come any closer or I will.... ::glances at his home::  make sure that you won't be able to tell anyone about her being here..
CEO_Terumo says:
CSO: Maybe the CMO can help us. CMO: I believe this data might interest you. It concerns The Narmanons physiology.
Lana says:
::Waves away those remarks like she doesn't care:: CMO: You Starfleet people can't treat us, and you know it... self: Solids.. what do they know..
CMO_Starr says:
CEO:  May I see it  ::walks over to where the CEO Is
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CSO/CEO: Have you got anything for me yet?
Gorath says:
@::glares at OPS::  OPS: I know more than you, Maquis...
CSO_Nash says:
CEO: I believe you're up to something. ::joins the CMO.::
CMO_Starr says:
Lana:  You would be surprised at what my staff and I can treat if we were given the chance with cooperative patients that are truthful.
CTO_Worthington says:
@Self: This is going nowhere.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Too late.  My species is capable of telepathy.  If I wanted to harm you, or if we were Maquis, we'd have simply vaporized you and taken what we wanted.
CSO_Nash says:
CMO: Are these readings what I think?
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The changeling in sickbay becomes critical.
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: We might have. Just give us a second, Sir.
CMO_Starr says:
CSO: Yes, it is radiation poisoning on a large scale.
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  The people have been exposed to radiation poisoning.~~~~
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~CMO: If we are to help these people, we need some kind of proof of our intentions.  They think we are Maquis.~~~
OPS_Jones says:
@Gorath:  If we were Maquis, you won't be standing here talking to us. We would like to find a peaceful solution that benefits all parties involved.  ::she stressed peaceful enough to be understood clearly::
Gorath says:
@::frowns::  CNS: Is that a threat....after all you've seen here, you are going to just threaten us into giving up someone who is in the safest place in universe, away from the ones that abducted her? For all I know, you all could be members of the Maquis...  they where awfully good at making threats as well..
CMO_Starr says:
<Dr. Paine> CMO:  The changeling has gone critical!
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::thinks a moment:: CMO: Tell Tach to tell these people that we can help them, and we'll leave T'Sara with them to show them our commitment.
Lana says:
::Just stands there looking shocked for a second, then morphs into the bird again and flies to sickbay at ludicrous speed::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: It wasn't a threat, it was a statement of fact.  We aren't Maquis, and that is why you are safe.
CEO_Terumo says:
CMO / CSO: The computer analysis of the data says that the inhabitants of the planet resemble Cardassians!
CTO_Worthington says:
@Gorath: I assure you we are not Maquis. We just want to return T'Sara to her mother.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CMO: And add that I'm also leaving some people to make sure they don't run.
CMO_Starr says:
CO: Yes Sir   ~~~~CNS: Lyon says that we will leave T'Sara with them to show them our good intentions and that we can help them.~~~~
CSO_Nash says:
aCO: Sir, the CEO, CMO and I concur that these people are suffering from severe radiation poisoning, which has disabled their ability to reproduce. I also have found their genetic patterns appear to be descended from the Cardassians.
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  And we are leaving some people behind so that they don't run.~~~~
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CSO: Good, you start working on reversing the effects. We've got divided interests at the moment.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: I have an offer for you, one that you can't loose with.  We'll help you first, and you can keep T'Sara, but only if you promise to return her when we've helped you.
CMO_Starr says:
CSO/CO: That will help in reversing the effects.  I need to return to sickbay to help Dr. Paine with the changeling.  It has turned critical
CMO_Starr says:
CO:  May I suggest we leave Tach?  They know him best.
CSO_Nash says:
aCO: Aye, sir.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The Changeling reverts to goo and spreads out all over the floor.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CMO: Tell Tach we're leaving the Sequoia with one of the security personnel in orbit.
Lana says:
::Standing in sickbay, watching the horrifying scene::
CMO_Starr says:
::Dr. Paine has buckets all around the biobed in case the creature should revert to goo::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins working on processes to reverse the radiation poisoning.::
Gorath says:
@::looks at the AT::  AT: And why in the name of the gods should I trust you in the first place? You've given me nothing that suggests that you are here to help us.
CMO_Starr says:
<Dr Paine>:  ::watches as the buckets catch all the goo and thinks ick::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*Security*: Lt. Kriege, get to the Sequoia and remain in orbit to help the AT as best you can. Maintain a lock on them at all times. ::doesn't wait for an answer::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
Keretta: Tell Tach, I'm leaving them on the surface, we have to get the Founder back home.
CMO_Starr says:
::enters sickbay just as some of the goo drips past one of the buckets, then goes and cleans it up::
Lana says:
*aCO*: You're going to have some task explaining this..
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: You can watch what we do, and keep your people in place to make sure we are truthful.  I'd rather set up on your home world, but if we do it here we need a place to work.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*Lana*: I'll worry about that when I have to. We're heading for your system now.
Lana says:
CMO: Don't you touch him...
OPS_Jones says:
@::her temper is starting to flair, she counts to fifteen to calm herself down as she thinks what it would take for at least one person to cut them at least a little slack.::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Keretta> ~~~CNS: Sir, we're going to leave you here. Help these people as much you can. Lt. Kriege is in orbit in the Sequoia. We'll see you soon.~~~
Lana says:
*aCO* It's about time.. but you and your incompetent crew will be too late.
CMO_Starr says:
Lana: Shut up and get out of our way.  ::goes to stabilize the changeling by placing him in one huge bucket on the biobed::
CMO_Starr says:
Lana: If you are thinking about interfering, I'll personally tranquilize you and put in you a security field.
Lana says:
::Eyes the CMO:: CMO: That's enough. Step away now before I will need to force you to..
 Host aCO_Lyon says:
::turns to the helm:: FCO: Access the following file. Lyon Sec Seven Two. There is a heading stored in there. Get going to those co-ordinates, maximum warp.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: We are just asking for a little trust.  Let us take a look at one of your people, let us see if we can heal her, make her fertile again.  If I lied, and we harm her, I offer myself in forfeit.  I can't offer anything more.
Gorath says:
@::looks again surprised at the CNS's comment::  CNS: You people still don't get what I am saying, now do you?
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee jumps to maximum warp in a solar system.
CMO_Starr says:
::activates a security field around her and the changeling and then level 10 around Lana::
CMO_Starr says:
*Security*:  I need a security detail to sickbay, NOW!!
CTO_Worthington says:
@Gorath: We will not harm you, we are here to help.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The planet shakes as the Cherokee leaves orbit...  The planet people think it’s an earthquake...  buildings topple.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: I was hoping you would show a little trust.  I'm not used to desperate people telling me "I don't want help, I'd rather struggle with my problems and barely survive."
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::almost clobbers the helmsman::
Gorath says:
@::sighs::  CNS: Let me repeat it..  Your own kind abducted a child willfully from her parents...  I was fortunate enough to free her from those Maquis animals....  do you know what that is telling me about Humans...?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*Lana*: We're on our way to the co-ordinates you gave me.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::hopes the AT will be alright on the surface::
OPS_Jones says:
@Gorath:  Those people are criminals, and we went after them to bring them to justice and reunite a child with her mother whom I am sure the child misses very much.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: I don't know what else to tell you.  Humans, like most species, have their good and their bad.  You want to know if we can be trusted?  Ask the child.
Lana says:
::Extremely angry with the doctor, can't even reach the comm panel to answer the aCO::
Gorath says:
@CNS: And on top of that, if T'Sara would get off our planet the Maquis would know it immediately through some sort of devise they implanted in her.....  Bringing her off the planet will also spell doom on her life...
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CSO/CEO: Keep working on saving these people.
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  Lana is in a level 10 force field at the moment and can't answer you.  I'll pass your message along  ::continues to stabilize the changeling::
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  Since nobody noticed the falling buildings a building crashes near the group.  The CTO is hit in the head.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: Understood.
Gorath says:
@CNS: Out of the question... she has been through enough lately, I'm surely not going to bother her with your pointless questions.. ::looks disappointed::
Lana says:
::Seemingly calms down:: CMO: And how would you know if you're not doing more damage by doing that to my companion?
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: Our departure has caused a shockwave towards the planet that destroyed some of their buildings.
Gorath says:
@::ducks as he sees the CTO hit, glancing at the way it came from::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@::Turns to Trent.::  Gorath: Enough of this.  We can bring this about later.  OPS: See what we can do for these buildings, contact Kriege in orbit and see what he has to help.
CMO_Starr says:
Lana: I have treated changelings before.  If you notice on my screen is vital signs are starting to pick up.  which is more than what you have been able to do.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  Trent is on the ground bleeding.
CTO_Worthington says:
@::falls to the ground unconscious::
Lana says:
::Doesn't know what to say to that for a moment, then goes on scowling::
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  The Sequoia is in orbit around you with med staff to help you till we return~~~~
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: At least give me a place to work.  I can help the injured...ours and yours.
OPS_Jones says:
@::nods and contacts Kriege in the shuttle to see if he can do for the buildings here::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: CEO: Noted. ::glares at the helmsman's back::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
Helm: ETA to the co-ordinates.
Gorath says:
@::sighs::  CNS: Very well... follow me..  ::increases his pace::  but be aware, I will be watching you...
CMO_Starr says:
::leaves the changeling in its natural state of goo and slowly adds some liquid antibiotics to its injuries::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Fair enough.  How many doctors do these people have?  Have your people had much contact with them?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Helm> aCO: Two hours, sir.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@::Picks up Trent and starts carrying him after Gorath.::
Lana says:
CMO: Are we getting near my planet yet.. ::getting impatient and not trying to hide it::: And you can take down this thing too? ::briefly touches the forcefield::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Runs scans while we are on course to the coords.::
CMO_Starr says:
Lana:  No I won't take it down until we reach your planet and I estimate at this speed about 2 hours ::looking at the panels::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sits heavily in the chair::
FCO-Slack says:
::wonders why the CO is so edgy, after all, they did go to warp::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::leans forward:: FCO: Tell me, how long have you been flying starships?
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Sir, this is my first time, other than simulations.
Gorath says:
@::looks at the CNS::  CNS: I'm not a doctor..  ::points at one of the buildings at the end of the street... bring him there....  there are people that can help you...
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: FCO: And you didn't think that perhaps there is a reason why you have a safe distance to get to before warping out of a system?
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  You did say you wanted warp, Sir...
OPS_Jones says:
@::just getting word from Kriege::  CNS:  Sir, Kriege has succeeded in what you asked him to do.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Mine is to obey you, Sir...
CMO_Starr says:
::feels like being nice and has a chair transported into the forcefield for Lana to sit on, then turns her attention back to the patient::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Don't get clever with me, Ensign.
Lana says:
::Sighs deeply:: Self: Solids..
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: Full systems scan indicates that all systems are within working parameters, although the warp engines took a beating back there.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Thank you.  We'll return the favor, I promise.  ::Sets CTO down and treats the wounds.  Once it's treated, moves to help the local doctors.::
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Sir?  Me, clever?  Never, Sir!  I was in the lower 1/3 of my class.
CMO_Starr says:
<Security Officer Itchy>CMO: The extra security team is in place.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs heavily:: FCO: Well, keep your eye on your work, and let me know when we're approaching our co-ordinates. Well enough in advance please, so I can tell you to go to impulse.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@OPS: Tell him to beam down the medical teams, but cautiously.  These people need help.
Gorath says:
@::taps the CNS on the shoulder, looking in doubt::  CNS: Why are you still trying to free the child when you know she is in grave danger when you get her off this planet?
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  How are things there?~~~~
FCO-Slack says:
::grinning, this is more like it, you always have to train your Captains::  CO:  Aye, Sir, I will.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::mutters dark threats under his breath:: *CMO*: Report, doctor.
OPS_Jones says:
@::tells Kriege to beam down the medical team to help  but to be careful about it.  Kriege acknowledged the order.::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~CMO: Not good.  Just after you left, an earthquake hit the planet.  We're rendering aid, but are a bit handcuffed by the Prime Directive.~~~
FCO-Slack says:
::wonders what that odd looking creature is, sitting on a bulkhead::
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The children have come out once more.  T'Sara among them.  They run into the center of the village with several balls in tow and what appears to be ice cream running down their hands..  The children are giggling and singing.  The older children helping the younger ones.  Much giggling and laughter can be heard.
CMO_Starr says:
::leaves the goo in the bucket:: CO:  The changeling is slowly starting to stabilize, but still critical.    Tach just reported that an earthquake hit the planet just as we left creating injured people, including the CTO.
Lana says:
::Watches the doctor working:: CMO: Mind telling me what you're trying to accomplish there, hmm?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: Thanks, Michaela.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Because, her mother misses her.  Besides, there is danger anywhere you go.  How much do you know about Betazoid/ Vulcan hybrids?  Could you even tell what her ailments are?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Gereth> ::chirps as he feels the FCO looking at him::
OPS_Jones says:
@Gorath:  Put yourself in the child's shoes.  If you were taken away from your mother, would you not want to get back to her. And also put yourself in the child's mother's shoes, she is going out of her mind to get her child back safely.
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  I'm leaving Lana in the force field so she won't interfere with me or my team.  Lana:  The goo is the changeling's natural state.  At the moment its volume is depleted causing him to be critical.  We are increasing his volume intake slowly so not to shock his system more.
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  You're welcome.
CTO_Worthington says:
@::opens his eyes taking a look around and wondering what has happened::
FCO-Slack says:
::begins watching the creature, thinking what an ugly thing it is::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@CTO: Welcome back.  You took a hard knock on your head.  Take it easy.
Gorath says:
@::shakes his head::  CNS: Don't try to evade my question... didn't you hear what I said? If she leaves this planet it will be her death... that device you people put there will be doom..  ::looks desperate::  Self: Do these people have any brains or what...?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
<Gereth> ::eyes begin to whirl faster, changing to red::
OPS_Jones says:
@Gorath:  What device?
FCO-Slack says:
::ut oh, maybe that thing can hear my thoughts...::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: We have means of dealing with that.  Besides, it didn't explode when you took her from Narmanon to here.
CTO_Worthington says:
@CNS: What's going on? Is everyone alright?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sees Gereth's reaction:: FCO: Are you concentrating on your work, mister?
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@CTO: There are a few injured, we had an earthquake hit.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!  ::figures, must be his pet::
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  How badly hurt are the injured?~~~~
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::grins and calls Gereth to him::
Lana says:
CMO: Explain this.. increasing volume.. you can't just pour water on him to get him healthy. I still oppose greatly to this tampering..
CTO_Worthington says:
@CNS: Understood. ::sits up:: CNS: What can I do to help?
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  Gereth flies around the bridge instead.
FCO-Slack says:
::ducks as the fire lizard dives at him::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: Gereth: If you don't behave, you silly creature, you can go and keep Prince company.
Gorath says:
@::looks at the CNS with faint frown::  CNS: The device is monitored by you people, and we had an agreement that I was allowed to bring her to this planet...
CEO_Terumo says:
::ducks as the small dragon does a close fly by::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@~~~CMO: Mostly minor injuries, they've been treated.~~~
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::holds out his arm for Gereth to land there::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@CTO: If you feel up to it, see what you can do to help secure the buildings in case an after shock hits.  Don't push yourself, though.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  Gereth lands greatly proud of himself.
FCO-Slack says:
::oops, dodges an asteroid in their path::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::chuckles as he gets a smug impression from Gereth::
CTO_Worthington says:
@CNS: Will do. ::goes outside, looking at the surroundings::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: We told you before, we are not with the Maquis.  They are criminals.
CMO_Starr says:
::tries to keep from giggling at Lana's statement:: Lana:  The body's fluid has a certain level or volume that must be maintained or it goes into shock.  Its not "water" I'm adding to its system,  It’s natural saline, enzymes, salt and all the other ingredients that make up the primary liquids in the body that I'm adding slowly to it.
FCO-Slack says:
::moves the Cherokee back on course, hoping the CO didn't notice, since he was so involved in his ugly pet::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: How did you get the permission to take her?  Are you still in contact with them?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::glances at his console and sees that the FCO is still keeping them on course, regardless of deviations::
CMO_Starr says:
~~~~CNS:  Ok.  Keep me informed, please.~~~~
Lana says:
::Takes a deep breath:: CMO: You'd better know what you're doing, otherwise you're risking a very sensitive diplomatic standoff.
Gorath says:
@::looks surprised::  CNS: Why would I share that information with you? For all I know you could be from the Maquis!
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::strokes Gereth and transfers him to his shoulder, gets up and starts walking around the bridge:: FCO: ETA to our co-ordinates?
FCO-Slack says:
Self: Geez, picky, picky, picky. CO:  Sir, 15 minutes.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: If I was, I would have the information and not need it.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Good, tell me when we're 5 minutes out.
CMO_Starr says:
Lana:  At this point, it won't matter.  Thanks to your interference, we are at this dilemma.  ::continues increase volume, noticing small stabilization’s as they are done::
CTO_Worthington says:
@::begins helping the villagers to secure a structure in danger of collapse::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::walks up to science:: CSO: Kevin, how's things going?
FCO-Slack says:
Self: Wow! Can't the captain count time::  CO:  Yes Sir... 5 minutes.
Gorath says:
@CNS: And that proves what exactly? Nothing...
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::remembers something:: *CMO*: Ask Lana where do we go from the co-ordinates she gave me, and it had better be correct.
CSO_Nash says:
aCO: Fine, sir.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee enters the Founders home world solar system.
FCO-Slack says:
::takes a peek at the ugly thing on the CO's arm:: Self:  No accounting for taste.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Sir, we are entering a system now.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Go to quarter impulse.
CSO_Nash says:
aCO: Entering the Founders system
CMO_Starr says:
Lana:  From where do we go after we arrive at the coordinates you gave us.  They had better be correct.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: There is no proof.  All I can do is explain the facts with as much of the truth as I can give you.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  They are still at warp....::Sighs::
FCO-Slack says:
::changing the speed of the ship to 1/2 impulse::  CO:  Yes sir, 1/2 impulse.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Good.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::ponders grinding his teeth::
FCO-Slack says:
::snickers, he knew he wouldn't remember what he told Slack to do::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Are we acting like the Maquis acted, looks aside?
FCO-Slack says:
::taps his keys and slows to 1/4, just to be mean::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::gets a malicious smile:: FCO: By the way... this is going to your permanent record. You will be on waste management duty before we leave the system.
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: The Sequoia's been relaying sensor data to us, and I believe we've found something that looks odd. There's a radio signal on the surface of the planet that isn't coherent with local technology.
CMO_Starr says:
Lana:  What are the new directions? And no, I'm not lifting that forcefield.  My patient is doing better when you're not near it.
Lana says:
CMO: You will proceed another twenty minutes east from here.. and make it exactly twenty minutes, or your correctness will not be.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Me, Sir?  Why?  We are at 1/4 impulse as you ordered, Sir!
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  Lana says we are to proceed another twenty minutes east from here and make it exactly twenty minutes or our correctness will not be.
OPS_Jones says:
@::starts to wonder what she and Kevin are going to do on their next date.::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Keep that thought at the front of your mind.
Gorath says:
@CNS: From what I have seen, the Maquis come from various worlds and various species...  you could very well be one of them...
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: Understood.
CTO_Worthington says:
@::once the building is secure, they move on to another::
FCO-Slack says:
Self: Yeah and others thoughts as well, Sir.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Ok, now proceed for 20 minutes towards galactic east. 20 minutes only, or I'll skin you myself. If you don't know where galactic east is... ask me.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath:  Looks aside.  How do they act?  Would they be helping right now?  Would they not simply take T'Sara if they wanted her, killing you if you got in the way?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CEO: Can you trace it to the termination point?
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Galactic east, Sir?  ::tries to remember what that is::  Er, em, where is that Sir?
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  The changeling is stabilizing, but we still need to get it back to it's home.
Lana says:
::Pokes the forcefield a few times::
Gorath says:
@CNS: And what is that assumption based on...?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs and walks over to the helm:: FCO: Watch and learn. ::taps in a sequence and the ships changes course::
FCO-Slack says:
::watches, but still doesn't understand::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: We'll be there in 20 minutes.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Whatever you say, Sir.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: When we've reached our goal, you are going back to flight training. Is that understood?
Lana says:
::Heard Lyon:: self: How obvious..
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::goes back to his chair and taps in a reminder about the FCO and sets a timer for 15 minutes.::
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Yes Sir... Self: grouch!  Geez, one little mistake.
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  Thanks  ::watches as Lana pokes the forcefield::  ::walks over to the security detail and whispers to the detail instruction that if the field goes down to shut to stun Lana::
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: Working on it. Its main source is where the AT is, but I think there's a receiver on a nearby town. I can't pinpoint it, though.
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: All I am asking for is a chance.  You can watch what we do, see how we are trying to help.  We can discuss the child's safety afterwards.  Am I mistaken to think that there is nothing I can do to gain your trust?
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CEO: Keep me informed.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::thinks a moment:: CEO: Send the information to Kriege on the Sequoia and have him locate the other receiver.
FCO-Slack says:
::glares at the creature, as it seems to smirk at him::
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION:  A planet looms in front of the Cherokee.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: Gereth: Go to Prince, he'll like your company. ::places an image of his quarters in his mind and makes sure the creature understands::
FCO-Slack says:
::pictures a B.B.Q. in his mind with the creature as the main meal::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO:  Are we going to fly into the planet?
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: Yes, Sir. Sending now. ::taps his console and encodes a message to Lt. Kriege::
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Sir?  ::looking up at the planet and quickly makes a change::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Then I suggest you place the ship in orbit, mister.
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  What kind of orbit, Sir?
Lana says:
::feels the closeness to the founder planet::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Standard orbit, Mister Slack.
FCO-Slack says:
::doesn't he know anything::
FCO-Slack says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!
CMO_Starr says:
::notices a change in the changeling as its vitals get stronger::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: We're here. Get Lana and the other Founder ready for transport. We'll do it directly from sickbay.
FCO-Slack says:
::brings the ship into orbit::  CO:  We have achieved orbit ::smiling and proud of himself::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Monitors the data that the CEO has displayed.::
Gorath says:
@CNS: My loyalty to my people and especially to my family is extremely important to me, and yes I consider T'Sara a member of my family...  So, I will make sure no harms comes to her... end of story...  But if you are able to cure all these people here... I would be willing to share information about the Maquis that are behind this all....
CTO_Worthington says:
@::Trent and the villagers move on to another building, one in even worse shape::
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  You can transport the founder and Lana directly from here.  The founder is in its natural state of goo in a bucket
Host aCO_Lyon says:
FCO: Very good, Mister Slack. You can get back to your flight training now.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
CSO: Kevin, lock onto the founders and the Jem'Hadar and beam them to the surface.
Lana says:
self: Finally.. CMO: Tell your commander he'd better.. pray.. for this not to have any serious consequences..
Host aCO_Lyon says:
*CMO*: Ready when you are.
CSO_Nash says:
aCO: Aye sir. :: initiates the lock and beams all desired beings off the Cherokee.::
CMO_Starr says:
*CO*:  we're ready ::ignoring Lana's remark::
FCO-Slack says:
Self: GEEZ!  I did what he said and he treats me this way?  I am filing a complaint.
Host T`Sara says:
ACTION: The Changelings materialize on the planet and automatically join the great link.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::leans over to his console to make sure the entire flight was recorded.::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Our help is unconditional.  We will help as much as we can.  Hopefully, we will be able to do enough.
CEO_Terumo says:
aCO: Sir, the signal detected is being retransmitted from the second location in a subspace carrier. I estimate a 5-8 LY range.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::gets up and walks over to the helm:: FCO: I said you are relieved, mister.
FCO-Slack says:
::looks up with a blank expression::  CO:  You want me to leave, Sir?
Gorath says:
@CNS: Hold on... that is not all....
OPS_Jones says:
@::hopes that Gorath will eventually accept the offer of help::
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::smiles sweetly:: FCO: Yes. Unless you are VERY sure you can get us back to our departure point without blowing up solar systems, and crashing us into planets along the way.
CMO_Starr says:
::looks relieved as both Lana and the goo is transported out of her sickbay:: Ensign Cleaner: Clean up the rest of this mess, please.  I'll be in my office  ::heads over to her office to dictate the report::
CTO_Worthington says:
@::continues to aid the villagers, a little groggy after the hit::
FCO-Slack says:
CO: Sir! ::standing up:: I protest!  You are being mean!  I have done my best!  I intend to lodge a complaint with SFC! ::turning red in the face::
Gorath says:
@CNS: After I have given you the information about the Maquis... if that ever happens of course... not sure it will....  ::glances around::  you will catch these Maquis... then and only then will I consider talking to you again about T'Sara.....
CSO_Nash says:
:: Starts wondering about the Narmanon's heritage and what could have caused the radiation poisoning of an entire planet.::
Host CNS_Siatty says:
@Gorath: Fair enough.
Host aCO_Lyon says:
::counts to ten under his breath:: FCO: I'm not being mean, I asked you a simple question. If you think you can do it, take us out of orbit, get us to a safe distance and then go to warp, heading back to the planet where we left the away team.
FCO-Slack says:
::smirking he sits down::  CO:  Yes I can, Sir.  ::sits down and plots a course for the Beta quadrant::
Host T`Sara says:
