USS Cherokee The Chase Part 9

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10603.26.  The ship has arrived at Nequencia and is hoping that we will be able to find what we are looking for.  Both the ore itself and, more important, clues to where the monster who wants it is hiding.

Host SM-Trish says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  CSO: I need another pair of eyes to go with us.  I'll be busy with Adams, Rain will have her eyes locked on security issues.  I need someone who might notice things our eyes miss.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: carries a few more emergency survival packs into the Chariot's Equipment Storage rack, checking the charges on the Phasers stored there as well. :: Self: We are soooo not getting ourselves caught with a want for gear today.

SO_Masters says:
::Sits at the desk in his quarters turning off the computer screen and moving toward his bedroom:: Self: Well I hope things pick up around here.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye, sir. Just let me take a look at my duty roster and see who can cover me here.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::in the shuttle bay, working on the Chariot:: FCO: Geez, what did you do to this thing?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Nothing...I swear the only thing we did was change the outer hull's appearance and give her a new IDF code.

CNS_Wells says:
::Just arriving in the Shuttlebay ready to go::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees the others by the Chariot::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS/ CEO: I hope that things will remain calm here, but if there is a problem, don't hesitate to call the teams back if needed to help the other.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at the roster and notices that the name Ensign Masters appears at the top of the list.::  *SO*: Ensign Masters, please report for bridge duty on the double.

CTO_Rain says:
CO: Our assorted Phasers are charged and waiting in the transporter room.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::shakes his head, wonders if the Elvis is still going to blare without notice::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Excellent work, we should be ready momentarily.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::straps in the last pack and walks over to the pilot's station.  Bringing up the Pre-Startup Safety list..  :: XO: Do you honestly think I was going to let them do anything that would be permanent to the Captain's Baby?  I Like having skin. it keeps the rain off my organs.

SO_Masters says:
::Stops unexpectedly at the orders he just received.:: *CSO*: On my way to the bridge sir!
::Takes a deep breath and moves quickly out of his quarters and towards the nearest Turbolift:: TL: Bridge please. ::Waits patiently.::

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Sir, you can count on me.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: grins as he reaches up to the cockpit's roof...hanging a pair of fuzzy mice above the navigation station. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CNS: Counselor, nice of you to join us. Hopefully those files on LoDuca I sent you were helpful.

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters the shuttle and finds a place to be::

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Sir, I have Ensign Masters on his way, and he has high proficiencies. :: Shows the CO the PADD.:: Wonder how I missed him on the rotation schedule?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Yes, Sir. If we run into him...well, I think I know the man a little better now.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CNS: Grab a seat and make yourself comfortable. should be getting along here any minute now.

Host XO_Worthington says:
FCO: What in the world is that?

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Thank you, Mr. Hazzard.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: What?  These?  Good luck charms.  Figure we could use all the luck we could get.
:: grins as he looks up at the blatantly pink fuzzy mice. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes a place in the back and settles in::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Very good, you're expected in the Shuttlebay now I think.  Good luck.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::shakes his head again:: FCO: Don't forget to take them down when we get back.

SO_Masters says:
::Walks out of the Turbolift and onto the bridge, looks around and sees the Science Station:: CSO: Reporting as ordered sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
::making sure that the AT's are looked after properly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Welcome to the Bridge, I need a pair of eyes with me to visit Governor Adams.  I need someone to make sure that he doesn't try and feed us misinformation.

CSO_Nash says:
SO: Excellent, Ens. Take over here and keep an eye on things while I’m gone.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::takes his seat, wondering what is keeping the CSO::

SO_Masters says:
::Turns to the Captain and nods:: CO: Of course sir.

SO_Masters says:
CSO: Aye.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: No problem, sir...just about finished with the pre flight checks...just waiting for the rest of our party to get here.

SO_Masters says:
::walks to the science station and activates the screen::

CSO_Nash says:
SO: On second thought, I'll turn you over to the Captain.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Exits to the TL.:: TL: Shuttle bay on the double.

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Sir Engineering will make sure there is enough power for any emergencies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ SO: Shall we?  Remember, I'm Captain Hardin for the duration of the trip, and our goal is to find out if LoDuca has some of his fingers in this mess.

SO_Masters says:
::Stops and turns from the station:: CSO: Ok... ::Walks toward the CO::

CEO_Bishara says:
::hands moving smoothly over the board monitoring the power flow regulators and the relays and the temps of the flux capacitors::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::starts to warm up the shuttle's engines. enjoying the relative "purr" of the impulse drive as he continues to wait for their errant "science boy:.::

CTO_Rain says:
CO: Ready as ever here sir.

CSO_Nash says:
 :: Exits the TL and enters the Shuttlebay and grabs his equipment and enters the shuttle and takes his seat.:: XO: Sorry, sir. Just had to get my replacement settled in.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS/ CEO: Keep the engines warm, we shouldn't be long with any luck.  ::Turns and heads for Transporter Room 1.::

CTO_Rain says:
::logs out of her station, turning it over to another gold shirt::

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees the CSO arrive::

CEO_Bishara says:
::thinks of something::  *FCO*: Lt. Hazzard?  Keep your head down and remember to duck if necessary.  ::giggles::

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Understood sir and good luck.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  The shuttle begins to hiccup according to the new program to make the shuttle appear rundown.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: No problem Commander. FCO: Get our departure clearance and then let's get this show on the road.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: winces at the mention of the word "duck" :: *CEO*: Just make sure we have a ship to come back to, DG.

SO_Masters says:
::Follows in line behind the CO somewhat nervously:: Self: I should have kept my mouth shut...

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Not to worry if I have to get out and put you on the ship I will.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: First away mission?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: grimaces as he readjusts the engines output flow and nods to the XO :: XO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sits down as the shuttle starts hiccupping.::

SO_Masters says:
CO: Yes sir. ::Smiles rather timidly:: CO: I promise not to disappoint!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: I want to know everything we can about the mineral.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Just keep your eyes open, and let me know if something you see isn't right.
TR Chief: Beam us down, Chief.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Serenity, this is Rebel Yell...request permission to depart shuttle bay.

CTO_Rain says:
SO: Remember try not to step on any exploding rocks or in front of plants that throw poison darts, it really makes my job a lot harder. ::Seems almost serious::

SO_Masters says:
::Prepares himself for the transporter effect and closes eyes:: Self: Oh boy...

Host GOV-Adams ACTION:  The Captain's AT is beamed to the surface. (Transporter.wav)

CEO_Bishara says:
::hears the words Rebel Yell and knows it is Cowboy's shuttle::

OPS_Nash says:
*FCO*:  Rebel Yell, you are cleared for departure, and no clowning around out there.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Here is full access to all we have. ::Links his PADD to the computer terminal and inputs the data.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Materializes.::  CTO: If there's exploding rocks and spear throwing plants in the Governor's office, we're really in the back woods.

CEO_Bishara says:
::smiles::  Self: Kinda of a nice guy he is.

SO_Masters says:
@::Stares wide eyed at the CTO::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: sighs to himself as he begins to lift off the deck of the shuttle bay. waiting for the doors to allow him to leave. ::

CTO_Rain says:
@CO: It's best to always assume the worst.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Thanks. So there is no way to mine it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Smiles.::  Let's find the Governor.

SO_Masters says:
@CTO: I suppose I can last as long as none of the wall pictures come to life.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Any power you need just ask.  I have extra power stored up if needed.

CTO_Rain says:
@CO: Now that I think about it I might have to redecorate my office with some new plant life.... ::ponders::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Sure thing.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: Negative, sir. Looks like we may have to resort to transporter strip mining.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: slowly glides the shuttle out of the bay doors and takes the shuttle on a slow arc away from the ship...bringing up the nav chart to take them to the sixth planet. ::

CEO_Bishara says:
::watches the scanners as the shuttle Rebel Yell slowly leaves the Shuttlebay::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Sir...we're clear of Serenity and setting course for the sixth planet in the system...best possible speed I assume sir?

CNS_Wells says:
#::Stares our the shuttle window as we depart and enter open space:: SELF: What a rush.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: I hope this goes smoothly.  I would hate to have to get out and pick up the shuttle.

SO_Masters says:
@::Withdraws Tricorder and frowns:: All: These second hand ones are not as reliable sir I am getting about half the scanning range.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#CNS: Ain’t it though?  You think you'd get used to it, but you never really do.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  What will be will be.  I have come to expect that of anything we do in the name of duty.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Aloud: Hello?  We're here to see the Governor?
SO: I know, but that's all we can afford at present.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Transporter lock on AT #2 is solid.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Ah Captain, nice to see you!  Can I offer you refreshments?  After all, I didn't give you the warmest welcome in the galaxy. ::waving to the AT from his building::

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Be careful, take us in slow so we can see what is up ahead.

CNS_Wells says:
@FCO: Oh, did you hear that? Yeah, I really like take offs.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Good.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Aye sir...slow and steady.

SO_Masters says:
@::Nods and stands quietly observing the situation::

Host GOV-Adams says:
#ACTION:  The heat from the planet will not allow a close survey.  Syrinium is detected but no way to get to it.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: adjusts the speed of the vessel and keeps his eyes on the console...grinning to himself as he begins to hum an old Elvis song. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Steps forward, paw extended.::  Gov: Not a problem governor, with the comm system failure, it was a natural reaction.  Nice planet you have here.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: I have a scan lock on the Rebel Yell and a homing beacon on her as well.  It is tied into the subspace static systems the captain had me reconfigure.  We can communicate with them through that if needed.
CTO_Rain says:
@::quietly:: SO: Though wearing this Klingon weapon on a hip holster is a lot more fun....

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  We like it... but I hope you don't mind me staring, I have never met a Caitian.  You are a mighty fine example.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Good work.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: We're about as close as we can get, sir. But I am detecting vast quantities of Syrinium, but we haven't got the technology on this shuttle to obtain it.

SO_Masters says:
@::quietly:: CTO: Looks dangerous. ::frowns::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Thanks sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: If you say so, but stare if you want.  As long as we can do business, it's a small price to pay.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: I don't want to lose any of them.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Please, I would prefer to be called Ma'am. It's more to my personal liking.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CSO/CNS: Suggestions, theories, loose conjecture? I am open to ideas. What about a probe, heavily shielded?

CNS_Wells says:
#ALL: I still don't understand there being a Syrinium mine on the 6th planet, just what are they mining on the 4th?

Host GOV-Adams says:
CO:  Would you mind awfully it I touched you?  ::stands staring in awe at the Cait::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO: Exactly, everyone is important,

CTO_Rain says:
@SO: But easier to use  settings and thus more reliable.  The extra options other afford can be nice though.

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks a bit strange::  OPS: You are the first person that has requested that I use ma'am instead of sir.  Personally I hate the word ma'am myself and would rather be called sir.

SO_Masters says:
@::Raises an eyebrow:: ::quietly looks at CTO:: CTO: Should we leave these two alone?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: looks at the planet in question and grins. :: XO: How about we sling a probe into a low orbit spin...I can get us close enough so the momentum gives it all the speed it needs...and it can use the excess energy to locate some of that Sinusium you guys are looking for.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Shrugs.::  Gov: If you really need.  ::Lifts paw higher.::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  It's something I prefer.

CNS_Wells says:
#FCO: Just how much cargo space is on this shuttle?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: OK Ma'am.  Don't now if I will get used to it but I will try.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@::tentatively reaches out and strokes his paw::  CO:  Thank you!  My children are going to be thrilled when I tell them.

CTO_Rain says:
@SO: No CO's always get into trouble if you leave them alone.

CNS_Wells says:
#ALL: Cuz if we find the ore and can get it how are we to get it back with us?

CSO_Nash says:
#CNS: Unknown thus far, but I'm sure the Captain will find out.
#XO: Very heavily shielded, sir. Also if we had a way to transport the Syrinium off the planet, then rapidly cool it, and then beam it to our cargo hold.

SO_Masters says:
@::Listens intently for any signs of purring::

CTO_Rain says:
@Self: Though I may actually have to make sure the Governor is the one who survives if he keeps this up...

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO Saunders*: How’s it going in engineering son?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#CNS: About the same as a runabout has.  The living quarters on this thing are seriously plush, wish I had a shuttle like this on my prom night.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Now, what can I do for you and your ship?  ::leading the way to his desk, then takes a seat::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Adams: Now, you were saying that the mining operation failed some time back?  What happened?  We were really hoping to be able to acquire some, as we have a buyer looking for more.  A lot more.

CEO_Bishara says:
<Saunders> *CEO*: Fine at the moment.  Everything is looking good for now.

SO_Masters says:
@::Follows quietly behind the CO as they make way into the office, quietly taking a standing position in the back::

CNS_Wells says:
#FCO: Thanks ::Sits and thinks on that::

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO*: Keep it that way Ens. Saunders.  I don't need any surprises today.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CSO/CNS: How about beaming it into space, would that cool it enough to get a sample onboard?

CEO_Bishara says:
<Saunders> *CEO*: Well sir will try not to let that happen.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: That seems plausible.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Ma'am you want me to do a tactical scan to see if the area is still clear?

CTO_Rain says:
@::Eyes are constantly scanning the area to look for anything of interest, threatening or otherwise::

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: I'd be afraid it would solidify.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Be my guest.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#CSO: Don't forget to filter out any atmospheric gasses that might crystallize and contaminate the sample you beam up...just to be on the safe side.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Thank you ma'am.  Don't like sitting here.  ::gets up and walks to the tactical station and does the routine tactical scan of the area::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: So, what did happen to the mining planet?

CNS_Wells says:
#XO/CSO: If it has been liquefied by the heat from volcanoes the ore would turn to an unusable solid glass-like rock.

CSO_Nash says:
#FCO/CNS/XO: I would put that in the parameters. We want only pure Syrinium.

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: Exactly.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CSO/CNS: Ok, get to work on the probe, we will use the chariot's shields to strengthen it and then when it is in range we will attempt to use it to transport a sample.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Well, for some reason about 1 year ago, with no warning, the planet seemed to erupt.  We lost several good people when it did.  We only had a few buyers for the Syrinium consequently, we didn't lose but 50 people.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#CSO: Maybe we can divert some of the energy from the engines and put up a force field around the inside of the cargo bay...act as an isolator from the heat to keep the gooey parts gooey and the hull from being melted off.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: Aye, sir.
#CNS: Ready to help me with the parameters?

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: Did the Empire send anyone to check out why?  I'm not an astrophysicist, but I'd guess that planets don't just go Volcanic like that.

CNS_Wells says:
#ALL: Let's try and find an area rich in deposits but not to effected by the planets bad conditions.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Romulans have never taken an interest in us.  Our planet mines gold, nickel, and the odd ores.  We really don't have anything of value to them.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: slowly puts the shuttle into an orbit that allows them to cover the maximum amount of scanning area in the shortest amount of time. ::

CSO_Nash says:
#FCO: Sounds like a good idea as well.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  The rest of the planet, well the majority of it is agricultural as you can see.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: So far ma'am the tactical scans are fine.  I don't see anything that looks out of place or threatening.  Doesn't look like any one is interested in us for now.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Try not to get to close, I can't save you from the Captain if you melt his ship.

CNS_Wells says:
#::Moves to a console::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Good, let's keep monitoring just the same.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: You're the one with the degree, you ever hear of a planet going to fireball like that so quick?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Understood sir.......er ma'am.  Self: Got to remember that.

CSO_Nash says:
#:: Begins entering the desired parameters as well as trying to find a Syrinium sample not affected by the planets turbulent nature.::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
# :: taps a few commands and sets up a protective force field around the inner hull of the cargo bay...setting it to engage the moment they receive the cargo. :: XO: Aye sir...don't really want to deep fry his ship if I don't have to either.

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO*: How is looking down there son?

CEO_Bishara says:
<Saudners> *CEO*: Same as before all is going according to plan.

SO_Masters says:
@CO; Well sir, I can not claim to be an expert, however I do not recall ever hearing of such an occurrence in our known galaxy.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@::eyes the young lady standing in the background::

CNS_Wells says:
#::Sets scan to find traces of radiated copper figuring this might be a way to find usable Syrinium::

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO*: Good.  Let me know if anything is slightly out of place.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Do we have enough energy in reserve for the shields and the Forcefield?

CEO_Bishara says:
<Saunders> *CEO*: Will do sir.

CSO_Nash says:
#Locks onto a sample and beams it up.:: #XO: First sample obtained. But scans show tainting. It's useless.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: Didn't think so, thanks.
CTO: And what kind of stuff we need outside of the ore?  Supplies other than trade goods I mean?

CEO_Bishara says:
::monitors the tactical station as ordered::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  I just checked the comm traffic for this area of Romulan space, all is normal.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#COM: Serenity: Serenity, this is Rebel Yell.  We’re going to do a few low orbital passes.  See if we can find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a celestial body, keep an eye out if we get near any nasty weather patterns, could ya?

CTO_Rain says:
@::Almost rolls her eyes, but manages to hold it in, after all she is here to been seen, and not heard.::

SO_Masters says:
@::Makes a mental note to study the topic back on the ship::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Well that sounds good for a change.  Hope it stays that way.  Wouldn't want to......::lets it drop as she remembers::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Well. seeing as were not looking to set any speed records. and this shuttle's got some major oomph...were still looking pretty good...I'll inform you the minute we start peggin' the red zone, sir.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  A Romulan Warbird decloaks in front of the Serenity and just sits there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: Of course we do have the Agricultural goods to trade.  Tractors and so forth mostly.  ::hands over the list on a PADD.::  Think we could find a buyer here?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Hello and whoa Ma'am!  Romulan Warbird decloaked in front of us.

OPS_Nash says:
::smiles::

SO_Masters says:
@Self: Tractors...how antiquated.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  I see.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@::smiles at the CTO and waits for her answer::

CNS_Wells says:
#::So far, is having no luck::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: You think you could call the ship and have them let the survey team know how quick the situation changed on the planet?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Well what you think they want?  A closer look at us?

CSO_Nash says:
# ::Enters a algorithm to filter out impurities for the next sample.::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Let them look.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: Waits for Serenity to respond to his comm. ::

SO_Masters says:
@::Looks around the room at the walls, notices a picture on it.:: Gov: Looks like you have quite a lovely family sir.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@SO: Yes!  Three daughters and one wife.  ::grimaces when he says wife::

CEO_Bishara says:
*EO*: Make sure you have the dampeners and the rest of the programs functioning correctly.  No slip ups.

CTO_Rain says:
@CO: Nope, that'd be it.

SO_Masters says:
@CO: Yes sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
<Saunders> *CEO*: You got it sir.

CNS_Wells says:
#::Scans for any structures left over from this planets mining days, that may not have been destroyed yet::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Let them look? Sure why not we are not doing anything unusual.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#COM: Serenity: Serenity, this is Rebel Yell, ya'll got your ears on out there?

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Problem?

CEO_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh this is so not the time for an incoming from the Rebel Yell.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  He'll have to wait.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Don't know yet....but Serenity's a little slow on replying back to us...might be nothin'...might be trouble.

CSO_Nash says:
#:: Begins scanning for the reason why the sixth planet is so geologically unstable.::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: You want me to use the subspace relay to send message to Rebel Yell we got a Warbird in front of us?

SO_Masters says:
@::Attempts to open a channel to the ship:: *OPS*: Captain’s Away Team to ship.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Hmm, what are you picking up on sensors? Are they still in orbit or have they moved off?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  And try to keep it simple and in code.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: You got it ma'am.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gov: Look, I know it wouldn't be your business to know, but was this ore first discovered here, or was it previously gotten elsewhere?  As I said, we have a customer willing to pay well for it.

CEO_Bishara says:
::turns and walks back to her console and begins to code the message into the subspace static emissions from the ion signature of the Serenity::

CEO_Bishara says:
::subspace static coded message reads:: Static:: Rebel Yell Romulan Warbird decloaked in front of us will advise.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Captain, why do you think it was ever mined here?  I am sure you have sensors on your ship.  There is NO Syrinium on this planet.  Maybe folks got the wrong idea, since we sold it from here.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: brings up the shuttle's sensor package and curses in Klingon. :: XO: Great. just wonderful.  Romulan Warbird in close proximity of the Serenity...wonder what got their prickly green ears all up in a fuss...and Serenity just responded...its in code...they'll advice us on what’s going on...

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Message sent ma'am.

CEO_Bishara says:
::walks back to tactical and waits::

SO_Masters says:
@Gov: If I might ask sir, how were you able to transport it from the planet in such massive quantities?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: But the point is it was sold here, so you are the ones to deal with.  So if you had competition, we can make it in your best interest to let us know who they are and where.  We have some decent resources to make it worth your effort.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  An active scan hits the Serenity's sensors from the Warbird.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: I hope it is Ra’al. Just in case, move us away from the planet, return to normal shipping lanes. Let's not arouse any suspicion. CSO/CNS: Keep working, we will be back in a minute. Probably nothing.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Sir we are being scanned.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: I've been running scans on the planet to determine the reason for its instability, and I have detected numerous Tri-cobalt signatures in very localized and specific areas.

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: Aye, Sir. So far I am having little luck.

CEO_Bishara says:
*Saunders*: You better have everything working down there.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Let them scan us.  They will find that we are a heap of junk metal.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: deftly takes the shuttle out of orbit and around to put the planet between themselves and the Serenity/Romulan Warbird. :: XO: Evasive hiding, Aye sir.

SO_Masters says:
@CO: Sir, I am not getting a reply from Serenity. ::furrows brow::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Of course we are ma'am.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CSO: Fascinating, can it be mined and used as a weapon?

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Captain, I have never heard of it being mined anywhere else... ::stops and thinks a moment::  Wait, wait a minute...  ::begins to rub his temples::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: No answer?  That's not like her.  I left her in charge for a reason.  Ah well, maybe the system's down again.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: How do we get in touch with the Captain and let him know what is going on?  I forgot to tell him that I hadn't figured out a way to send messages with the static on his comm device.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  The scans stop and the Warbird cloaks.

CEO_Bishara says:
::blinks:

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: From the localization and the specific areas, I believe that they are weapons that may have been used to make this planet like it is. They are about a meter deep underground.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Well that was quick.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  See, play them out and they will desist.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: waits to hear from the Serenity as he taps the side of his chair...humming an ancient song from old earth. ::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Never would have thought of that one nice going Ma'am.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: dum da da dum da da dum...Bonannnzaaa.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CSO: So the KPF made sure there was no way to synthesize a cure? Typical.

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: Like someone was trying to destroy the whole planet and the Syrinium with it?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Can I tell the Rebel Yell that the Warbird is gone?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Playing it calm is always good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: Did you recall somewhere else?  How much for that bit of information?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Yes, please do.  Let them know we are okay.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO/CNS: It appears so, gentlemen.

CEO_Bishara says:
::goes back to her station and begins the coded message to the shuttle::

CEO_Bishara says:
::coded message in static:: Static: Rebel Yell Warbird gone return home.

CNS_Wells says:
#SELF: ...son of a ...

Host GOV-Adams says:
@::gets a glint in his eye::  CO:  Well... since you put it that way, how about 1 baler and two reapers?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: stops humming as he begins to receive a message from the Serenity. :: XO: Sir, Serenity says the Romulans have left and we can return to the ship if we need to...orders?

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: Does LoDuca have the means to pull something like this off?

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: I just wonder if removing those weapons might aid in calming the planet down?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#:: grins as he sends a message back to the CEO in static. :: Static : Rebel Yell Acknowledges.  Keep your pants on. Rebel Yell out.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: The Warbird might still be out there, let's move off and fake a system shutdown and comm the "unknown" Serenity for assistance.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  A coded message comes to Serenity, Captain's eyes only.  No known source as to how it is being transmitted.

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: and save what might be left of the ore?  Good thinking, we gotta try and save it. Its the only way to cure this thing!

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CNS: Yes he does. Unfortunately. 
CSO: Get crunching on that and we will see if we can return once we have more info.

CEO_Bishara says:
::laughs:: OPS: Ma'am Message from Rebel Yell.  Message acknowledged.  Keep your pants on Rebel Yell out.  ::smiles again::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: No offense, but we'd have no way to know for sure the information is good.  How about this.  We give you the equipment, but the price for those items go into a separate account, set up so you can block it once we let you know that the "deal is done".

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: That cowboy is a cute guy don't you think?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  He has his moments.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Aye sir. pulling out of orbit again...and faking a breakdown. :: Taps a few commands on his console as he cuts power to the port side of the ship. ::

CSO_Nash says:
#:: Starts beaming the tri-cobalts into space somewhere out of the system and out of the space lanes.::

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  And how do I know you will uphold your end of the bargain?

CSO_Nash says:
#XO/CNS: It should calm the firestorm down there, but the ore is unusable.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: You'll have the gear.

SO_Masters says:
@::Turns and looks at the governor::

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: Anything I can do to help ::Knowing the Commanders newest problem to solve is out of my league::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Sir...if we put a general mayday out...don't you think the Rommies might pick us up first?

CSO_Nash says:
#CNS: Just pick a target and beam it out.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Ok, you have a deal!

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: I guess I can do that ::Begins::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: See if you can raise the ship again.  Let 'em know we have a deal, and to get the cargo ready to ship down.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CNS: In your studies and what you have learned from LoDuca, can you guesstimate what his next move in this sector might be? I have my theories of course but I would like to hear your clinical perspective.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#FCO: Doubtful, we are just a silly little ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: Good, then we'll have the gear prepped and sent down.  All we need are coordinates, both of where to beam it and where the other world is.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Hmm, it seems like a coded message has arrived for the Captain, for his eyes only. I'll route it to his Ready Room.

SO_Masters says:
@CO: Yes sir ::Inputs commands into his communicator:: 
*OPS*: Serenity this is Captains away team,  come in.

OPS_Nash says:
::routes the message to the Captain's Ready Room::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Aye sir.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#COM: Serenity: Nearby Ship, this is the Rebel Yell. just outside orbit of sixth planet in this system...we've had a minor...glitch and need a pick up...please respond.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Now Captain, I didn't say I knew where the world was... I only got a name.  Simple name too, I am surprised I forgot it.  I believe the name was Donna Smith knew where there was more.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Yeah and I wonder from whom.  It has no return address either.  I don't know where it originated from either.

CNS_Wells says:
#CSO: This isn't good. This makes my cure useless.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: A name won't get us far.  Any idea where to find her?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  It's not our place to worry about that,  if the Captain wants us to know what is in that message HE will be the one to let us know.

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: If we were sure there isn't another source for Syrinium I'd say he'd be sure there wasn't.

CSO_Nash says:
#CNS: I know, LoDuca has one upped us again. ::Starts to get angry.:: But at least we saved the planet for the Neque.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Now, that will cost you another baler Captain. ::grinning at him::

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Just trying to help figure out this LoDuca character.  I have heard of him and have heard so much of him and some of what he does is not pretty either but he is a genuine nut job if you ask me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: That will be worth it, although you drive a hard bargain.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CNS: So if there were no more sources, why would he still be here?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  One will never be able to figure out that person.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#COM: Serenity : Unknown ship, this is Rebel Yell asking for immediate assistance...please respond!

CNS_Wells says:
#::Feels sick all his work was for nothing. And all the sick people.....::

CEO_Bishara says:
::hears the comm from the Rebel Yell::

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: Maybe just to watch us get another blow.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@SO: Still not answering?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Go ahead and respond.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Cowboy is hollering.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CNS: Assuming he does not know we are here, then why is he?

CEO_Bishara says:
COM: Rebel Yell: This is SS Serenity how can we be of assistance.

CSO_Nash says:
#:: Begins to despair at the systematic destruction always left in LoDuca's path.::

CNS_Wells says:
#XO: It to good to hope for but maybe there is more ore in this system. Did we check the other planets in this system?

SO_Masters says:
@CO: No sir, still no response.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#COM: Serenity: Well thank goodness...our ships had a little oops and we've lost partial power. we’d be mighty grateful if you could give us a tow into that Shuttlebay of yours.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*OPS*: Hardin to Serenity, is the Comm system down again?

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Ok, I believe the planet associated with the name was Dorian V.

SO_Masters says:
@*Serenity*: Serenity respond please.

CSO_Nash says:
#XO: We may have flown in under his radar, sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
COM: Rebel Yell: SS Serenity: Not a problem ready to latch on tractor beam.  Leave the driving to us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Gov: Excellent, you have yourself the equipment you need.

CEO_Bishara says:
::hits the keys for the tractor beam to lock on to the Rebel Yell::

OPS_Nash says:
*CO*:  Sorry Captain, we had a visitor, A Romulan Warbird.  They scanned us and left.  I maintained radio silence until they left.

Host XO_Worthington says:
#CNS/CSO: I think he knows we are here and he is toying with us, but if that assumption is incorrect then we have to find out why he is still here.

Host GOV-Adams says:
ACTION:  The tractor beam locks onto the Goddess Chariot.

SO_Masters says:
@*Serenity*: Serenity we have concluded a deal with the gracious governor, please prepare to transport two reapers and two balers, coordinates will be forthcoming.

OPS_Nash says:
*SO*:  Understood.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Tractor locked and bringing them home.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*OPS*: And beam us back as well.  
Gov: It was a pleasure to do business with you.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
#XO: Sir. Serenity has us in a tractor beam and is pulling us in...better get strapped up for landing.

Host GOV-Adams says:
@CO:  Anytime Captain, I am sure you will get the better part next time.  ::shaking his paw::

OPS_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye  ::beams them back::

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Welcome back.

Host GOV-Adams ACTION:  The Captain's AT is beamed back to Serenity. (Transporter.wav)

CNS_Wells says:
#::Finds his mind is spinning with negative thoughts about his own competence.  Can't figure out how he could have gotten it all so wrong::
