Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 10906.21 : Efforts continue on establishing preliminary aid stations on the planet to begin the recovery of the slave population left behind on the planet.  Aid is soon coming, but for now we are the only light in a very dark night for these people.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
First Officer's Log, Stardate 10906.21, Tio Ayidee recording.  Our efforts to establish relief bases has begun, but still has barely scratched the surface of the set up portion.  We continue on path with hope we will be able to save these people, but there is still no guarantees.

<A'marie>:: Passing out food rations::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@*aCO*: We're on our way, sir.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: takes the time to call up both of the incoming officers' personal records, reviewing them briefly before they arrive. ::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Steps off the Turbolift onto the bridge and makes way for the captains ready room::

< Team 3 Leader > :: Organizing arriving slaves into orderly lines. ::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Steps into the ready room:: aCO: Sir.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO: Take a seat, Ensign.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Walks into the ready room with the CTO:: aCO: You called for us, sir?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@:Sits::

CNS_Wells says:
::Returns to the TO and Nurse:: All: Pretty soon the restrooms will be done, that should help reduce anxieties, huh?  All we need now is a periodicals PADD.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CSO: Join the CTO over there, would you Ensign?

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Takes a seat next to the CTO::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CNS: Well nothing too eventful seems to be happening at the moment, so take all the time you need.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she calls down to her staff to get the communication buoys ready so communications can go somewhat smoothly,  Once she got word that they buoys were ready, she sent them to the desired locations.  They all locked perfectly in the assigned positions.::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the new camp and heads for the Counselor and Tactical Officer.::  CNS/ TO: You and your teams work quickly.  Didn't expect you to be this far along yet.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CSO: Do you want to tell him the bad news and I'll tell him the good stuff?

Host Buddy says:
::moving into the crowd so he can hear what is going on with the officers::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO/CSO: First gentleman, let me give you a belated welcome to the Cherokee.  I'm Commander Mark Hazzard, Acting Captain on board.  I realize that you two have had to hit the ground running, so I'll give you a little leniency as far as using my door chime.

CNS_Wells says:
::Brings over another crate of rations::  TO: How are things going here?  Your men are doing a good job of crowd control, Ensign.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: grins, letting them know he isn't THAT upset over it.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Notices arriving XO:: XO: Oh thank you sir, quite frankly I didn't think there would be so many sla... I mean civilians sir.

CNS_Wells says:
TO: Me? Oh, I could never "go" in one of those.  I'm good.  Really.  ::Smiles and opens the crate::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: It is an unusually large camp, to say the least.  Very disturbing actually.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO/CSO: So...hard first day on the job?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Wouldn't do much good if it can't happen quick, Sir.  The Hygiene area will be completed soon.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: Not quite what I expected, sir.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CO: Quite invigorating in my opinion.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO/CNS: Well unless anything major comes up I'd say we'll have the rest of the camp up in record time. ::smiles::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: thinks for a moment and makes a small nod. :: CTO/CSO: One moment gentlemen.

CNS_Wells says:
::In low volume voice:: XO: Any word on when we can expect more supplies?

ACTION:  The USS Dallas has received the signals from the buoys and homes in on them.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: Commander, make arrangements to have all non-essential personnel assigned to assist in relief efforts planet side.  Bare Minimum staff to remain on board the Cherokee until we receive assistance from Starfleet.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Looks at the CTO, with a hint of a puzzled expression on his face::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's a good start.  With luck the relief teams will arrive quickly.  I expect it will take some time to get relocation ships, but help and more supplies should be arriving within a few hours.  Still, that first wave relief will be limited, as it's likely set more for combat and search and rescue than this kind of relief.

Host Buddy says:
<USS Dallas> %COM: Cherokee:  This is the Dallas Cherokee.,  We should be at your location in one hour.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO/CSO: Well, I'd like to get your perspective on the situation. Ensign Valkris, Tactical Evaluation.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Notices the CSO's expression and nods::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*aCO*:  Would you be surprised if that was already considered as nearly everyone had volunteered to assist in this situation?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: The supplies we have won't last much longer.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: Doesn't surprise me one bit.  Make a note that next available shore leave will be extended for two days when possible.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: The Counselor is right, although the camp might be set up there won't be any supplies to pass out.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: returns his attention to the two officers in his ready room and waits for the CTO to speak. ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*aCO*:  Already noted.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: There are some lights around here for the other camp, from Mrs. Nash, for when night falls.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CO: The situation planet side is grim sir, but we have teams on the ground taking care of the slave population. The Syndicate appears to have abandoned the planet and the people there.  It's a humanitarian mission now. The CSO has some information that may give us leads as to the location of the syndicate.

CNS_Wells says:
::Organizing food rations to be passed out::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know, and the ship's Replicators are working at maximum capacity.  We have to do what we can with what we have, even if we know it won't be enough.  Hopefully the Dallas is close and her Replicators can make enough supplies.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO: Understood.  Any chance the Syndicate might have slipped a few of their own men in with the civilians?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: If the supplies should run out early sir? What should we tell the civilians?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: We'll get by.  These people can get by on the hope they have now.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Night is our new enemy.  Once it falls our work will become much more effort.  ::Looks to the TO.::  TO: Especially Security.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@aCO: It's certainly possible, sir. But I find it doubtful.  However, we do have several security teams on the surface.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO: Continue to keep your eyes open.
CSO: Ensign Deius, environmental conditions on the planet, evaluation?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@aCO: As always, sir.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Ensign Kabat here, is doing a great job.  His teams are handling traffic and crowd control.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@COM: USS Dallas:  Understood.  Be prepared to witness things that you can never wish to.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: We tell them the truth, we didn't know this camp was here, but are doing all we can to provide relief.

CNS_Wells says:
::Passes off a tray of rations to a crewman to be handed out::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: Barely hospitable, sir. It's quite surprising to see that these people have survived this long.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CSO: I see.  The CTO mentioned you'd discovered something interesting?

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: Oxygen and water levels are very low.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*aCO*:  The Dallas is one hour away from our location.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: Yes sir. We discovered a map down in the Syndicate's headquarters.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: How bad of condition are the rescued beings in?  Are they malnourished enough to cause problems feeding them?

Host Buddy says:
<USS Dallas> %COM: Cherokee:  Understood, we have contacted Starbase 33 and the Admiral is aware of the situation.  She is sending 3 medical ships.  We stopped and loaded on extra supplies.  Anything else we can do?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CSO: A Map?  A Map to what?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor. XO: Well when night comes I expect some of the civilians to attempt a raid on the supplies as pessimistic  as that sounds.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: There appears to be many points of interest on it, in the form of both other planets and locations on this planet.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: Understood, Commander.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@COM: USS Dallas:  Just get here and pray that our efforts are not for nothing.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CSO: Give me the Cliff notes version.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Realistic.  These people are desperate, that's why I said it will get more difficult for your teams.  Probably for a few days, at least.  Building trust will be a long term project with these people.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: We've discovered sites on this very planet which seem to be body dump sites, and may need further investigation.

Host Buddy says:
<USS Dallas> %COM: Cherokee:  Understood, see you shortly.  Dallas out.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: pauses for a moment....:: CSO: Did you say body dump...as in mass graves?  How many people are we talking about?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: I just hope that this planet doesn't devolve into a ,"whoever controls the supplies controls the power." type situation sir.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: I'm not entirely sure, sir. I would have to see it firsthand to confirm it, not that I particularly want to. My estimations, however, would put the scale at thousands.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: It won't.  We control the supplies, and we aren't looking for power.  We just have to stay firm, fair, and alert.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: Oh I never implied that's what we'd do sir, but hinting at the potential situation if we were to lose control of our supply stations.

CNS_Wells says:
::Receiving a text message from a medic in the field::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: the expression that now inhabits the his face can only be described as rage filled. Self control slowly taking dominance after a moment. :: CTO/CSO: Do either of you gentlemen have anything else of interest to report?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@aCO: Nothing to add sir.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Long term I wonder if it won't be easier to simply attempt an M-Forming project here.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@aCO: Nothing deemed to be as important, sir. We could continue work on the map to see if we can find any clues on where the Syndicate might have fled to, if you want.

CNS_Wells says:
XO/TO: Hey guys, I just received a disturbing report.  There are people on the outskirts of the masses that are dying, I'm not sure the cause of death yet.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@CTO/CSO: If there is nothing further then. please return to the planet and report to Commander Ayidee.  Assist him with whatever he may have a need for. Inform him of what you've told me.  I think we owe to those people to properly bury the dead.  Dismissed.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CNS: Sounds like a job for the Chief Medical Officer, but I don't think we're going to be that lucky.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Where at?  That isn't likely to be good for our efforts.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Stand up and exits the ready room::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Leaves the ready room::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: CMO is busy treating the sick.  We're going to have to do our best to fill that role.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: May I suggest we investigate sir? My team can handle any problem that might arise during our little trek.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO*: Commander Ayidee.  Progress Report.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: No, it means we gotta get these people out of here.  They need the EVA suites too, but they don’t have any.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@CTO: I think it is no mystery what the Commander thought of that.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@::Heads to Transporter room 1 in the Turbolift::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Takes the Turbolift to Transporter room one::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Progress continues in building the camps, but we just received word of a large number of sick and dying individuals at the edge of the camp.  We're going to investigate, but Counselor Wells figures it may be an environmental issue.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ TO: Then let's see what we can find out.  Will the camp preparations suffer too greatly without you?

CNS_Wells says:
::Sending coordinates from field medic to XO's PADD:: XO: This is a good walk away.  I could dispense medics there, but we are so thin staffed as it is there are just so many of them.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@CSO: I find his reactions to be very reasonable and were to be expected.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO* We've received word that the Dallas is inbound  o our location.  ETA is about an hour.  So we might be able to get some more help.  I'm sending Ensigns Deius and Valkris back down to you to help out.  They should have even more good news for you.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: Well from a security standpoint my team can still operate at peak without my presence.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@*XO*: Sir, we will be beaming down to the planet momentarily under the aCOs orders.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know, we'll have to rely on our ability to read a Tricorder and interpret it.  Not astronomy, but should be able to tell something.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: We can go if you wish.

Host Buddy says:
::slowly backs up and begins to walk away::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*CO/ CTO*: Understood, got both messages.  Have them beamed to my location, we'll move to figure out what's causing this.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'd rather leave you here, but your knowledge in medical and bio science far outdoes my own.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
@*OPS*: Two to beam down from transporter room 1 on the XO’s co-ordinates.

Host Buddy says:
::stoops down appearing to tie his shoes, watching to see which direction the officers go::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@CTO: Reasonable, maybe. But I'd have expected such a seasoned commander to have seen much worse in his life. Although I suppose even the greatest of experience cannot nullify the horrors of what we have found.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ TO: Let's go. see if we can help.

CNS_Wells says:
<A'marie>:  CNS: I got things covered here.  Go on, Commander.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
@::Steps onto the Transporter Platform as he talks::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CTO*:  Understood.  ::beams them to the desired location::

Host Buddy  (Transporter.wav)

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
XO: Reporting for duty.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: Right. ::Establishes communication with Team 3 Leader:: 
*Team 3 Leader*: We're going out for a bit of a trek.  Report if anything goes wrong.

CNS_Wells says:
::Nods to the blonde nurse and grabs some things, thrown in a bag::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CSO: We just received word of an increased number of deaths in an area at the edge of the camp.  We're going to investigate, another few eyes should help.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*OPS*: Commander, see if you can get a few more communication buoys set up around the planet.  If anything it will allow for more reliable communication between the camps.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
All: May I suggest we get moving? We're burning daylight. ::acts somewhat frustrated::

CNS_Wells says:
XO: We should hurry if we're going.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands up, the rage within him a dull roaring fire in the back of his mind as he walks out onto the bridge. ::

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
XO: Understood, sir.

CNS_Wells says:
TO: Well said, Ensign.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Heads for the affected area.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Follows the XO's lead. ::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Tell me again why I allowed myself to take this job, Kyleigh?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
XO: Roger that.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*aCO*:  Understood.  ::she gets her staff to get the buoys ready and again they were ready in a timely fashion and Kyleigh sent them to the desired location::

CNS_Wells says:
::Grabs more supplies and follows behind the XO::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO: Because it's in your blood?

ACTION:  The TO is right to be concerned... it is 30 minutes before darkness will descend upon the planet.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Any word on actual number involved?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: rolls his eyes and grins. :: OPS: I want to be down there, helping, doing something useful.  Do you know how much of a Zippo McDoNothing I feel like up here?

CNS_Wells says:
XO: No precise numbers. Not to many yet but, this could be a chain reaction thing.  I need to examine the bodies of the dead to rule out unnatural causes.
::Walking at a brisk pace::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Understood.  Do you think...never mind.  No sense jumping to conclusions, even about monsters like this.  ::Paces the group.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  I know.  I'm glad I am not down there.  You didn't see those faces of the children down there.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Follows the XO::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ TO: When we arrive first thing we need is a perimeter, give the Counselor and CSO room to work.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I imagine it is just time.  These peoples bodies have held on as long as they could.  The weakest ones, the old, the young, they are starting to die off.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CSO: Once we have you room to work, see what you can find out.  We need to know if this is a sign of things to come or not.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
XO: Got it.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
XO: Understood.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Children? Sweet Elvis's Blue Suede Shoes...
:: a dark cloud seems to hover over his face.  Nothing good is being though of right now.::

Host Buddy says:
::moving slowly so as not to draw attention to himself::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: Ah yes I remember seeing you in the records, my superior right? :: extends a handshake:: Ensign Kyle Kabat.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Understood, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: I am indeed, I’m sure it will be a pleasure working with you.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: We'll get right on it sir.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CNS: Well met. My name is Deius. ::holds out his hand to imitate a human greeting::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Shakes the TO’s hand::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  Yes, lots of them.  Some just skin and bones.  This little girl walked up to me and my heart went out to her, she couldn't be any older than Liam and Kiandra.

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: Ensign.  Do you know how to perform an autopsy?

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Mark my words, there will be blood for this.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
CNS: While I am well learned in the anatomy of populous species, I have not had much hands-on experience regarding autopsies.

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes the Vulcan's hand in greeting::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: So... how would you recommend setting up a secure area? :: Watches the CNS and CSO exchange formalities ::

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::instructs the TO in setting up a perimeter::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  I understand.  I wish I didn't see that.  All I can picture is MY children down there.  That's why I was so relieved to be sent back here.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Continues through the crowd, as fast as possible without injuring the victims.::

CNS_Wells says:
CSO: I do, I just think their icky and don't want to do it.  No worries, I'll find an MO.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: Find a nice spot with cover and watch each other backs.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: ::raises eyebrow:: Is that the extend of our plan? Or is there something more?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ TO: And ask those not affected to leave the immediate area.

ACTION:  As the XO walks quickly through the crowd, a paw reaches out to grab him.  It is a Caitian male, with two small children behind him,

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Pauses just briefly.::  Cait: Help is coming, with all possible speed.  Just hold on.  We have more help on the way, we will do all possible to get you through this.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: Use artistic license, keep people clear of the area and if they refuse fetch me, use force if needed.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Tries to find un affected and attempts to lead them out of the area ::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: I doubt any real force would be needed, perhaps just convincing them voluntarily?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I think I just saw a ghost...  ::Tries to move past it.::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: You know, I think we might be able to help out even from here.  Talk to Engineering to redirect all non essential power to Replicators and Transporter Beams.  Let’s see if we can pump up the volume of supplies and medical needs to those on the planet.  We are working with a skeleton crew up here.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: These people are desperate, we may need to use force - only if it is needed. I don't want to have to court martial you on your first day in the job.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO/TO: No force will be necessary.  ::Gives new CTO person a cautious look::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Until those hospital ships get here and the food and water arrive I think it might also help if we go to combat rations.  It might extend the supplies for the civilians a bit longer, up the survival rate.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: You hang in there.  I know this ain't easy for you, my friend.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
All: I will give the word if and when force will be necessary.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Notices CNS dropping into the conversation:: CNS/CTO: I really don't think force is really an option with our Phasers being the only thing giving us authority.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  That was already considered and it was put in effect not too long ago.  Again, it was voluntary.

ACTION:  The crowd seems to be thinning out, but still slowing the away team down.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO/TO: These people are scared and desperate.  If they seem unruly, try to have some compassion and understanding, gentlemen.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Good, nice to see you on top of the game, Commander.  Remind me to take you to dinner once this is over...if Scott doesn't mind that is.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
CNS: As I said, force but only if needed. I will defend myself if one attempts to get past me with force.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CNS: Well I seriously doubt any of them will be that stubborn quite frankly. But if force is needed I don't think i want to go beyond using stun.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Question, how much do you know about Terra-forming?

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
XO: Terra-forming, sir? Why would you ask about that?

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: Well shall we get to it then? Instead of talking about how we're going to deal with it, let's start dealing.

Host Buddy says:
::doesn't like what he is hearing, force indeed!::

CNS_Wells says:
TO: Or maybe just moving them back.  Most are Federation citizens, they will respond if the situation is explained and they are assured.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Resumes taking civilians away from the area::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CSO: This world, it can barely support life.  What if we took the plants from the Arboretum and set them about to add to the available oxygen.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::the look on her face changed once she heard her husband's name::  aCO:  I don't he'll mind.  As long as he doesn't have to look at me, I think he'll be okay.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: frowns...standing up and walking over to Kyleigh, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. :: OPS: Has it gotten that bad?  I haven't had a chance to speak with him

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: If there are no more interruptions, we can.

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
XO: A very ambitious idea, sir. As much as I would advocate against changing nature, I believe we may have no choice. It would be extremely difficult to relocate all these people, especially if they're dying.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO: He hasn't wanted to be with me since I told him about my past.  He has been more distant lately.  I fear that our marriage may not survive.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
All: As I said, the use of force will be at my word.  And that word will come if and when all other options are past.  For now, we go under the assumption these people want our help and are willing to work for it.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Kyleigh, no matter what, you know you can come to me.  Me and Scotty are going to have a few words about his behavior.  He's still my brother in all but blood.  That does NOT mean that you are not as important to me.  I'm practically your children's uncle.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: We could bring some up to the Cherokee, more onto the Dallas when it arrives.  It’s a start.  We can save who we can.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  Oh, the Twins do call you Uncle.  Sometimes they add on another name but I try to catch it in time, but they still use it.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We could, depending how long it takes Starfleet to get enough ships here to be effective.  ::Gets through the crowd to where there are many sick and dying on the ground, lying among those already dead.::
All: I think this is it, lets figure out what happened.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
::Gives the XO a look indicating his disapproval of his interjection, but begins moving citizens away from the immediate area::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: What are we suppose to do with these dead bodies?  I'm not health expert but rotting bodies are a breeding ground for disease.
:: tries his best not to step on any::

CNS_Wells says:
::Finally arriving at the site of the field medic report.  Several bodies lie on the ground, loved ones in mourning crying over them::

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: sighs and shakes his head, giving her shoulder one last squeeze before walking back to his chair. :: OPS: Well they get a freebie.  They are kids after all.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
TO: Find out what caused them to die, and then find a place to store them until they can be properly buried, or however their beliefs cause them to be disposed of.

CNS_Wells says:
::Begins checking on the people and getting a report from the MO's on the scene::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Tries to find CNS within the crowd:: CNS: Do you have any info on how they died?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::smiles as she knows that she writes "The Adventure Of Treeboy" for them.::

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I can tell you why they died.  Starvation, dehydration, respiratory failure, exhaustion; take your pick.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
Victims: We are from the USS Cherokee, we are here to help.  Let us help you and we will get you through this.  ::Leaves off "as best we can".::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
XO: So the Chief and I can start a cleanup of the dead now that we know we can't get infected?

CSO_Ens_Deius says:
::Scans the dead bodies in an attempt to discover possible "irregular" causes of death::

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: Is there anything left? Can you send rations, water blankets to my location and lights too? Please, Mrs. Nash?  ::There is desperation in his weary voice.  The CNS feels he is reaching critical mass::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Understood, so we have a cause, "natural" causes.  
CTO/ TO: Let's get to it.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
:: Establishes connection to Team 3 at camp 2:: *Team 3 Leader*: Status report is everything alright?

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: How they died does not mean they are not infected with something. Who knows what's laid eggs in them?

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: This is Commander Ayidee, when the Dallas arrives have them set up the next relief camp here.  Do we have an ETA on their arrival?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CNS*:  We are nearly bare to the bone here.   Help should be here soon.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
XO: We could use a couple of grav trolleys to help us move these bodies.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
::Looks about at the falling dusk, hoping this first night isn't a disaster.::

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: At least send water.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
< Team 3 > *TO*: Sir there seems to be some supplies missing.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*XO*:  Haven't heard from them about an ETA as of yet.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We could, but it would take some of the supplies from the Transporter stream.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
*Team 3*: What do you mean "supplies missing"?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@COM: USS Dallas:  Cherokee here, requesting an update as to your ETA to our location.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO* On last communication with the Dallas they were about an hour away from us.

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes a hypo-spray out and injects vitamin nutrients as best he can to the more severe cases::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
<Team 3> *TO*: As in sir, it seems like somebody raided the supplies, when we weren't looking.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: looks at the OPS and nods ..knowing that their previous conversation must have distracted her as she was the one who told him about the Dallas.::

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
*Team 3 *: Ok then, just keep a look out for whoever did it.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*All*: I am going to use your Comm Badges as a makeshift intercom system.  Keep the badge open, message to follow shortly.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
All: Seems that we have a small issue back at camp 2, we should really be getting back.

Host Buddy says:
<USS Dallas> %COM: Cherokee:  Look to your port.  We have just arrived.  We need coordinates to start sending down supplies.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: I need a boost to my next signal, so it can rebroadcast with maximum range from all crew badges on the surface.

CNS_Wells says:
::Takes out a few canteens of water he brought, hands them to a medic to ration out until it’s gone::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::looks and breathes a sigh of relief::  COM:  Dallas:  Welcome to the worst scene you want to forget but never will.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO:  The Dallas has arrived.

Host aCO_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
@OPS: Have their Captain get in touch with me so we can figure out how best to maximize relief efforts.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: The supplies are already gone, reinforce security at the other camps and set some officers looking for the thieves.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*XO*:  The USS Dallas just arrived with more supplies.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*Camp*: This is Commander Ayidee of the USS Cherokee.  We are here to help you, but we must maintain order in order for that help to work.  We do not want to leave you hungry, or sick, or cause you any further pain, but we need to be allowed to do our work.  Any attempts to appropriate the supplies we bring to you will result in punishment.

TO_Ens_Kabat says:
CTO: Seems that we're going to have to be a little bit tighter with our "humanitarian" mission.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Then have them set up the next camp on our location.  Let's hope it's enough.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@aCO: Acknowledged.
*XO*: Acknowledged.

CTO_Ens_Valkris says:
TO: Hopefully we won't have to, if there is another in future.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Supplies are great but we really need transport ships enough to accommodate all these people.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I know, but we have to do with what we can until they get here.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: Tell that to the dead.  Sorry, I'm just.... ::Feels dizzy::  tired.  ::Goes on his way to the next group of people::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::send the coordinates to the Dallas so they can start sending the supplies to the planet.::

Host Buddy says:
<USS Dallas>  %COM:  Cherokee:  Will start sending down supplies along with more personnel.  All my medical staff are coming down first.  Dallas out.

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I understand, but there is only so much we can do.  We can't carry 10,000, no matter our wants.

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I hate this place.  ::Smiles to show he is okay::

Host XO_Ayidee says:
CNS: With good reason.
