Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11011.07, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have indeed made progress with the as of yet unnamed aliens who have destroyed the outpost, but we have a great deal to learn before anything can be called closed.  After being released from Sickbay, I am on my way to the Bridge to see what can be learned.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Leaving Sickbay, noting that the Counselor is still seemingly in communication with the aliens and the Medical Staff is running every scan they can think of to make sure all stays well.::

XO_Wells says:
::On the bridge standing in front of view screen, talking to the bug aliens::

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Sir, please tell me we are NOT going to let them stay in our part of the universe?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::At station running scans of the planet to review the bugs progress.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

XO_Wells says:
TO: Not if I have anything to say about it, which I don't but, they'll hear my recommendation.
OPS: And its nothing personal against the bugs.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  As you say, Sir.
Host Alien says:
::Maintaining orbit around the Cherokee with her drones.::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
ALL:  The bugs have stopped building on the planet, so hopefully that's a good sign that they will be going home soon.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Or they could be in transition.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  They are still, however, orbiting our position.  A transition, as in out of materials?  ::Gulps slightly and looks again.::

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Planning their next move.  OPS: Not saying their next move is bad.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Uh huh.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: What next move?  Not dealt with others.

XO_Wells says:
TO: Keep a close eye on them, Ms. Weller.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Bridge.::  XO: Any change from our visitors?

Host TO-Weller says:
ALL:  Captain on the bridge!  :;rises::
CO:  Glad to have you back Sir!

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Goes to attention.::  CO:  Captain.  ::Salutes.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: As you were, we still have a situation taking precedence.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: We wonder what you will do next.  You kill, you steal, we are frightened of your next action.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Goes back to her duties.::

XO_Wells says:
CO: Hello, Sir.  I hope you are feeling better.  We're all getting to know one another.

Host Alien  says:
#XO: Steal?  What is steal?

Host TO-Weller says:
::mumbles under her breath::  Self:  Yeah, just like getting to know the roaches at home.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Taking possession of materials belonging to another being.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'm awake, and that's the important part.  Meet and greet at 20 paces?

XO_Wells says:
CO: I'm not sure how I should be dealing with them, Starfleet is hush-hush about our orders.

Host TO-Weller says:
OPS:  You are quiet on this matter.  What do you think should be done?

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: We not knew.  Our home worlds, if no queen, then nothing to take.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: We understand you are new here and do not know our rules.  It is hard to understand how you can not see us as another sentient being.

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Are they trying to tell us there is no one else in their part of the world but them?

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: We do now.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
OPS:  Yes, Commander.  What is your take on all of this?  Send them home, right?

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Or should I say their universe?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
TO:  I don't know what to think, every idea I mention about our guests out there seems to get shot down. So with that, I'm on communication silence on the matter.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: What are your intentions in our space?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: I think their galaxy.  And I think yes, they were alone.

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  And we are supposed to believe them why?

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Intentions changed.  We not know how to decide now.

Host TO-Weller says:
OPS:  I am sure your opinion is taken into consideration.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
OPS:  Yes, and you helped us establish that communication with them!  Without that, we'd still be wondering what they were thinking ::Smiles.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: The probe we sent through the Wormhole, did it show any signs of other intelligent species?

Host TO-Weller says:
ALL:  I don't think we are going to have the choice in this matter anyway.  I am sure Starfleet has their own ideas, WHICH they have not chosen to share with us.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: We would like to continue talking to you and with both of us cooperating find a solution for you.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  The probe showed nothing more than these bug creatures.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Right now we need to figure out what is what here, and for that we need to communicate.  Inside the ship as well as out.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
TO:  I'm not sure about that.  But anyway, why don't we treat them like guests rather than criminals, odds are they are really truly unaware what they did was wrong.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  There were no signs of other creatures in the vicinity.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  Important words... the vicinity.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to Science 1.::  CSO: Bring up the scans we got.  Let's see what there is.  We have some resources.

XO_Wells says:
TO: They are sort of like TAC officers kill first ask questions later.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Nothing wrong with that when the other party is CLEARLY in the wrong!

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Nods to him and brings up the last scans.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  This is what was taken.

XO_Wells says:
TO: I'm just trying to help you see the other side, a little bit.  I too find it hard to believe they didn't see us as living things but, hey, crap happens and hating takes too much effort.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  I agree, but I wouldn't be a good tactical officer if I weren't the suspicious kind Sir.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  There's a lot of radiation coming from the stars.  They may not be able to survive in the area.

XO_Wells says:
TO: Agreed, and I wouldn't be a good XO if I couldn't see both sides.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Looks like a lot of stars.  Stellar cartography would love it.  But that is a good point, they may be telling the truth on that.  Insects have much better survival skills for that kind of environment.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  Is there a way to ask them?  Maybe that's why they moved here.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Is that an option?  This space strange, dark, but would work.
XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: We have not yet discussed any options but, we would welcome the opportunity to know you and help you, if we can.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: From the time they were "feeling me out", I got the impression they were a colony.  When a world reaches a certain level of life, then and only then a new colony forms.  Somehow.  They didn't go into details.
XO_Wells says:
CO: Dang, now I got them looking around, wondering how they should redecorate.
Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: We understand, but still hope.  Not looking to be failed colony and end cold.

Host TO-Weller says:
::oh great, now he’s done it:::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  So it sounds like they need birth control, not a new place to live.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: No we would not want you cold.  Did you want to return to your original home or are you looking to relocate?

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Original home has queen.  Need new one, here or there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Some have said the same about humans, and Cait, and Betazoid, most of the Federation members.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Preferably, there.  It is unlikely this sector of space would be the right place for you.  There are others, like us, coming here.  They can help you find a new home, if you want that.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  Yes, Captain.  I meant no disrespect, Sir.  ::Nervous::  Just meant they may benefit with a course on it.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Others like you coming?  That big of a deal to bring more queens to one system?!  Only the biggest disaster ever brings more than 2 queens together.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  I know the perfect  way to control it.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Honey, let's get one thing straight, if you'll pardon the expression, there are no queens here, despite the rumors.  We are individual separate thinking beings, no queens needed.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Grins, not to let the CO see her.::  TO:  I think I agree, but I don't think Starfleet would.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
Silently to self:  Amen to that!

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Right, apologies.  Still trying to grasp that.

Host TO-Weller says:
~~~CSO:  I understand you read minds?  I think we agree on this situation.~~~

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: No apologies needed, except for killing our people but, that's another matter.  We are learning about each other.  This is good.

Host TO-Weller says:
;:hopes she got through as she is not telepathic::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  Yes, I think we do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO/ CSO: This isn't the first time something like this happened.  For what it's worth, we've been close to this point from the Federations point of view at least a few times.  Like the Horta, and the Cardassians and the Founders.

Host TO-Weller says:
:;grins widely at the CSO::

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: We can help you find a new home.  A system unoccupied, away from the crowd, far, far, away, where no one will pester you.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Smiles at the TO acknowledging her.::

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Horta I can see, but the other two did know right from wrong and could speak Sir.

XO_Wells says:
CO: Great, how did we handle things with them?

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Our ideas are very alien, no pun intended, to them.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: That would be good, if can work it.  We can loose drones for trip if needed.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
ALL: Can't we just tell them to go home?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO/ TO: But the Horta were almost killed out before we learned what they were.  Took a good deal of figuring things out.  That's part of what life is.

Host TO-Weller says:
::sighs, does NOT want them in her galaxy::

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Sir, not matter what their intentions might be, one day they will want another world, then what?  Just turn our backs?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: What if humans want another world to inhabit?

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Well, hold your drones for now, just get ready to bug out, I mean leave this system.  Do you need anything like food or medical care?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  I agree with TO Weller, Sir.  There have to be borders.

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Sir, this is basically a human galaxy, or should I say bi-pedal?  Just my opinion Sir.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: How am I doing, Mrs. Nash?  I'm trying to remember things you said.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Just would need destination.  Have hibernation for trip.  Need others to arrive first?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO: You are doing fine.  And thank you for trying to be somewhat understanding to their situation.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Okay, great, why don't you all relax, don't move and when our friends arrive, we'll see about that destination.  Agreed?
OPS: You're welcome.  Maybe you could give Starfleet an update.  Tell them if we can come up with a new system to build their roach motel, they'll gladly scurry away and not kill us any more.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: XO: Agreed.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

XO_Wells says:
COM: Alien: Good, we will contact you again, when the others arrive.
OPS: Cut the COM.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  Sir, what about that radiated world on the other side of the wormhole?  We still have not determined if the bug creatures are capable of surviving in that area.  Why don't we ask?

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  How about sending them to Andromeda?  That should be far enough away.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Good question.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::sends update to Starfleet about the prospect of relocating the aliens to a suitable location that could benefit all involved.::

XO_Wells says:
All: That was exhausting.  I hope that's the end of the horror show.  Hopefully they'll just sit still until they get directions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Hold the Com a minute.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::holds the COM as asked::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Alien: Our scans show the area you came from is very high in radiation from the many local stars.  Has it always been like that?

XO_Wells says:
TO: I think I'll let someone else chose their destination, I'm no realtor.

Host Alien  says:
#COM: CO: Cannot say, but as long as memory goes.  Always like that for us.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  Sir, I think you have handled it well so far.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  I think so too, Commander, but I don't think Starfleet will give you a bonus commission on it. Just know that we think you did a great job, and you deserve a pat on the back for that!

XO_Wells says:
TO: Yes, but I should have thought of fixing their home world myself.  I was just glad we were communicating.

Host TO-Weller says:
XO:  It doesn't look like it needs fixing.  That is what they are used to, it sounds like to me.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: Thanks, I appreciate that.  But, let's look into fixing their environment.  That would be an awesome thing to do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Alien: We will be in touch, at least to learn more as needed.  Thank you, Cherokee out.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Agreed on that one, Sir.

XO_Wells says:
CSO: No, it sucks there if they can't raise enough food for everybody and some felt they had to leave.

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  Now what Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
XO:  Maybe we can find a way to make their world more adaptable and they won't have to rely on other galaxies to migrate to.  My biggest concern though still remains on what happens when that galaxy fills up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO/ All: Now we try and find more answers.  If Starfleet decides they can't stay, we need to learn all we can.  It is what we do after all.

Host TO-Weller says:
CO:  I hope they hurry up and get here.  That wormhole is not very stable.  We could lose our opportunity to get them to go home.

XO_Wells says:
CO: So, what is our objective, sending them home and fixing the problems there or finding them a new star system?

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  Well they are omnivores.  Do we know if they can survive in that radiated world?  Or is that the reason why they chose to move on.  Maybe we need to find a way to un-radiate their world; find out what is causing it?

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  And if the wormhole closes while our people are over there?

XO_Wells says:
CO: They certainly don't have much regard for life.  They were willing to off a few drones to make traveling easier, talk about lightening the load.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  Perhaps there's a way we can figure it out on this side.

Host TO-Weller says:
:;glad someone else noticed that little tid-bit about them::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: It's not just a world, it's a large area of space, maybe as big as a quadrant.  That's a lot of fixing, even if we had the Technology.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  And then educate them on the fix.
CO:  Not if we find out what is causing the radiation, Sir.  I mean, for all we know, the bugs could be causing the radiation.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  And how long do you think that would take?  Just a guess please.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  Well right now, is there anything else we "can" do?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: For now, we make it show and tell.  Figure out what we want to know about them so we can ask them.

Host TO-Weller says:
CSO:  Yes, but you already know my opinion... ::grinning::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
TO:  And you know mine.  I'm just trying to find a happy way to send them home.  ::Smiles.::

XO_Wells says:
All: We'll send them someplace but, I think Mrs. Nash is right, we are better than this.  I say let's try being nicer to them, starting with me.
CO: No more insect jokes, Sir. I promise.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
CO:  Me too ::Crosses her fingers under her console.::
