Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10911.15, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have completed preliminary checks of systems, and are preparing to resume travel at a normal Warp speed.  So far, this mission has started well.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Ready Room, reviewing ship readiness reports.  Stands up and returns to the Bridge.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sending out copies of Patel IX survey team plan of action, roster and schedule, to the department heads for when we arrive to the planet:: CO: There's a big job done.  We should be well coordinated when we get there.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on bridge at OPS::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is sitting behind a console looking at what LCARS has on planet surface, micro-organisms, bacterium, and large animals::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::At the flight console. Checking course and speed.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Excellent,  Reports are looking like we're ready to go full speed.  

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Also plant life that have been scanned by long range sensors::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: As soon as Science sorts through the data on Patel we can discuss the first survey sights.  I've made it so there can be four teams for four different locations on each of the nine continents.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Excellent.  That will speed up ensuring the planet is as good as initial reports say.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
XO: Flight Systems are pretty good, and also good in handling. And we maintain same speed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/CMO: Anything of interest in the initial bio surveys?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: That business about the Transporters being no good has me concerned, but reports from previous scouts lead me to believe it’s no big deal and something they can work out later.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: There is a solution to any problem, if you know where to look.  We might find one ourselves if we're lucky.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: I am trying to gather details on surface life.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Then it's time to see what we do at real speed.  Bring us to Warp 5, get there and get started.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CNS: Mr. Wells can you patch me into scans of the planet?

Host TO-Fires says:
CO:  Sir, tactical is ready.  I have roaming security and there are no unidentified personnel onboard.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Pushes some buttons, a light buzz is heard and the ship’s acceleration is felt.:: CO: On the job sir.

Host TO-Fires says:
CO:  Do you want 3 or 4 security shifts for this mission?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CMO: Similar to Earth.  Patel is M class, nine major land masses, vegetation, animal life of various degrees of danger.  Pretty typical weather, it gets hot and cold... pretty nice place it looks like.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Department heads*: We're about to increase our Warp speed, all departments report in.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CMO: I'll send your console all I know so far.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Four shifts with overlap.  First 6 hours on normal duty, last 2 on training and drills.

Host TO-Fires says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  Security with Away Teams sir?  How many with each party?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CNS: So viruses are common. And degree of radiation should be the same as other M class worlds.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Warp 5 reached. So far all systems in the green.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Mr. Zdunovski, are our shuttles and things ready to go?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Very good.
TO: Four being teams on duty with all teams.

Host TO-Fires says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::taps console and begins posting the orders and names to the shifts on the ship and names for those assigned to the AT::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: How are the Replicators holding out?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: We will need all capable vessels as transport, we can't use Transporters.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CNS: OK.  So far scan reports gives me a nice place for living, most of the bigger animals are mammals like.

Host TO-Fires says:
<TO-Best> *TO-Fires*:  Ma’am, all teams have been notified for ship duty and the planet security.  We are continuing drills on every deck.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: Once we get there and get started, we'll need some kind of efficient system to communicate with the four teams planet side as well as the transport shuttles.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The Replicators need some minor adjustments and fine tuning.  Other than that they should be good to go.  Let's just not over do them this time. ::cracks a tiny smirk::

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Understood. I will send out a message to prepare all shuttles.  I can already tell you that all shuttles are technically capable of flying on this moment.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: We'll do our best, but there are no guarantees in this line of work.  Let me know if there are any issues we need to deal with along that line.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: That's good, I'm just giving you and Mrs. Nash a heads up of what we will need.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'll get something worked out and get back to everyone.  Mind you all, there might be sacrifices we all need to make to get this job done.
CO:  Will do, Sir.

Host TO-Fires says:
CO:  Sir, all teams have been notified of their upcoming and present duty schedule.  I will need to have the names of the teams so we can report once we are on the surface.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: We are no strangers to sacrifice, are we?

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Aye-aye. ::Meanwhile nods to OPS.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: What shape is Sickbay in after the restocking?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Too true.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Full and ready.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Commander Wells is coordinating team makeup and leadership.  He'll send you the roster assignments, if he hasn't already.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Teams are prepared for soil, animal and insects sampling.

ACTION:  A light blinks on OPS console.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
All: This really should be a piece of cake mission, folks.  And just between us on the bridge, it’s the rest of the crew doing the grunt work on this one.  So relax, there's no stress with this one.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: We have one team ready to put laboratory on the spot so we can check if there is a parasitic life forms in the air.

Host TO-Fires says:
aXO:  Have you decided on the away team member assignments Sir?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/TO: Should be on your departments console.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO/ CNS: That's what I like to hear.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::noticing a blinking light on her console::

Host TO-Fires says:
::nods::  aXO:  Thank you Sir, checking now.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Gets messages back that the shuttles are all in a good condition, and that they are all prepared for flight.:: XO: All shuttles are prepared and ready for duty.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
TO: Yes, it's all spelled out in the briefing package.  I just sent out a few minutes ago.
FCO: Thanks, buddy.

Host TO-Fires says:
aXO:  Sir, I noticed that we have extra equipment in the cargo bays for this mission.  My teams have checked them and they are exactly what is going to be needed.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::thinking it was a signal detected, she went to check it out, but when she started to see about it, the signal disappeared.  She gets a confused look on her face::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Science teams are also helping with all other sampling we need to have.  If there is a some disease there must be a cure in nature for it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Is that from the old earth saying, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of amputation?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Umm, cure, Sir.  pound of cure.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: I believe it is but cultures often gets good sayings from one to another.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Winks.::  CNS: That one was intentional.  Really, even Tactical types know amputation is a last line.

Host TO-Fires says:
::raises her eyebrows and turns to look at the CO but says nothing.  She is trying to learn about everyone on the bridge::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CNS/CO: Mr. Wells, don’t be afraid.  I am a skilled surgeon.  And if you do lose any of your limbs there is always the prosthetic way to get you going. ::Smiles.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Are you implying you think Doctor Brabas is an old Sawbones?  That's where that name for Doctors came from.  Amputation happy Doctors on old war battle fields.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO/ CNS: It was a joke, honest.  Someone has to make sure everyone's paying attention.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CMO: I don't plan on loosing any parts of my anatomy, doctor.  Save the surgical table for someone else.

ACTION:  Another signal is detected by OPS console, but is gone before she can trace it.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I get it, Sir.  Good one.  ::Smiles trying to look convincing::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Sir ::Makes a serious but smiling face:: I don’t use sawbones.  ::Gets out his laser scalpel::  We evolved. ::Smiles.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::the light blinks again and the alleged signal detected was gone again when she went to check it out.  She is really getting confused::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: That's good...I think.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Looks over at the Doctor, then speaks to FCO:: FCO: I think I know where your missing bottle of vodka went.
OPS: Something wrong, Mrs. Nash?  You look perplexed.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Reacts as if stung by a bee.:: aXO: What? What are you talking about?
::Turns around, with a pretty serious face.:: aXO: What bottle do you mean? The one in the console?

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Smiles:: CO/CNS: Now that is just for cleaning wounds.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Relax, Konrad.  You'll fly us into an asteroid, or something.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Yes, I am.  Twice now a light blinked on my console indicating that a signal was detected; but when I went to check to where it came from, the signal was gone just as fast as it appeared.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Sir? That bottle was not just a bottle. It was my mascot? Never drank from it. Which means I have to put a new bottle in there. ::Sighs.::

ACTION:  The signal comes again, this time long enough to catch that it is a distress signal, but incomplete.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: I'm just theorizing that the Doctor took your bottle.  We all know you keep a bottle stashed under your console, that's why your always crawling around inside pretending to adjust stuff.  ::Smiles, it feels good to be happy to be with these people again::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: All stop, let's find out what we have here.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Starts monitoring the COM:: OPS: Let's take a look.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: What!? 
CO: Stop, a yes sir. ::Turns around and puts the ship to a full stop.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::notices it again, but this time it was around long to be indicate it was a distress call but it was incomplete.  Again, she looks perplexed::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  It happened again, but it was around long enough for me to see it was a distress call but it was incomplete.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
:: Laughs at FCO's antics, he makes a great comedic fall guy::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Science: Full scan on all active systems.  Let's see if there's anything out there.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CNS: A source could be nice.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: I saw it. It's definitely a distress signal.  Can you get a fix on it?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
SO_Bright:  Scan the area.  Check to see what's out there.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Stand by.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks at his console and tries to use OPS scans to search for life forms::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: While you look, have one of your people run a diagnostic on the Subspace Transceiver.  Level 4, let's make sure it's not a problem with the system.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Thinks about the doctor, taking the bottle. But also thinking, he did not take it, as he was also on Risa. Besides he knows what that bottle is for.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<SO_Bright>: I'm picking up a small craft.  There's a larger one way off in the distance moving away from the small one.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Captain.  I have detected a distress signal.  However, the location it at best in a generalized area.  The actual location won't be known until we move closer to the signal.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Looks at CO:: CO: Check it out?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Give the coordinates to Lieutenant Zdunovski.  Let's see what it is.
CNS: Not like we can do anything else.  If there's a ship in distress, it takes priority over a Terraforming mission.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she informs her crew of the Captain's orders:: CO:  They are working on it.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<SO_Bright>: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends coordinates of small vessel to FCO, OPS, CO and CNS::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Yup, that's the way I learned it too.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
::Sees rows with coordinates blinking on his console.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Get us there as quickly as possible, Warp limit over ridden now.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He fells slight chill in his back, so he begins to analyze scans on type of the ships hull::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<SO_Bright>: CO: Sir, it looks like a shuttle.  I think it's been in a battle.  It's got some pretty significant damage.  Not sure how bad.  Need to get closer.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: We're on our way.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Aye-aye sir. ::Enters the coordinates just received.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Yellow Alert, and see if you can find the attacker if they're still in the area.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Warp 9.1? Is that fast enough?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: That should do.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/All: I see the bigger shuttle is moving away fast.  I'm no Tactical, but I'd say the big vessel was guilty of a hit and run.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CO: In that case, fasten seatbelts. ::Changes speed to Warp 9.1.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
FCO: Darn mate, I will get you some type of Vodka!  Just don’t fly us a part.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: One step at a time, Commander.  Let's rescue the survivors first.

Host TO-Fires says:
aXO:  You are right Sir, and it is not giving me a code to identify who it is!

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
<SO_Goode>: All: I hope the shuttle can hold out the ten minutes it will take to reach her.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Keep active sensors on it, watch where it goes.

FCO_Lt_Zdunovski says:
CMO: That was not just Some Type. It was Zdunovski type. And yes, I have more. ::Turns around with a smile on his face.::

ACTION:  If the Cherokee doesn't change to impulse, they will overshoot the shuttle that is in distress.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Checking the life form in the shuttle to determine what species it is::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Inform Starfleet what is happening.  See if they can send help.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she thinks to herself, "Here we go again"::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: And here we thought this mission would have no surprises.  ALL: Surprise!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  ::informs Starfleet of the current events and requesting assistance.::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CO: Human life signs
