Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11210.07, Captain Ayidee recording.  The crew is now working actively on the animal incursion situation, and we are hopeful that we will have a solution soon.  A few theories are being worked on to find a way to observe the beings and find what they are after.

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

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@::making sure the Cherokee is in orbit over the away team::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::With the other members of the away team, not sure what is going on but, ready for anything::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Emerging from the meeting with the colony leaders, walking to join the rest of the Away Team.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks away from the rest of the group::   *aFCO*  I need you to get a science kit and science Tricorders and meet me on the surface.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::with the away team::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stretches and stands off to the side, listening and observing.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Do we have a starting plan on where to go yet?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::turning around::  CO: Yes sir. Myself and Ms McIntyre will be preparing the Holodeck.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@*CEO*:  Yes Sir, give me five minutes to collect my gear.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: As an observation station?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees the CO has returned.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes, the Counselor has suggested we set up a program to observe the creatures in a controlled environment
.
Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@::leaves her station and takes the TL down to the science lab to get the requested items::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Very good.
CNS: And good idea.  
All: Are we going to try and observe them on the surface also or isolated to start?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Giving credit where credit is due, it was Cadet Q'ten who suggested the Holodeck habitat, Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CNS: Apologies, Counselor.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: If we were to observe them on surface, we would need to go in undetected, Sir.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CO: I suggest natural habitat is more rich in information than controlled.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@::checks her Phaser, boot knife, and COM badge as she grabs the equipment needed, and goes to the TR::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: None necessary, Sir.  I just wanted to get it right for the record.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CMO: Then that's a "Yes, but we need to be careful and sneaky?"  I am pretty sure we can do that.

Host aFCO-McIntyre @*CEO*:  Sir, I am on the transporter pad now.  Beaming to your location. (Transporter.wav)

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles lightly:: CO: Yes, careful and sneaky.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I will be proceeding to the local office of law enforcement.    ::waits for the FCO to arrive::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Sir, I'm still unclear as to why we want to observe the Yogi.  I mean, wouldn't it be easier to just relocate the colony?  It seems the fair thing to do.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO: Here is the equipment you asked for.  Where to?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Very good. First we go to the local office of enforcement to get locations.  ::begins walking towards the office::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If there is a need, but the Yogi live in a large portion of the inhabitable section.  If we can find a "why", I'd rather find a permanent solution than a quick fix.  Plus answers are important.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  I brought several ampoules to put our specimens in.  I was thinking Sir, we might bring back a small sapling as well.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: So then, what are we looking for, Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Besides, we can learn more about them in general, which is always part of our mission.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Hopes the CMO understands all this better::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CMO: We look for their habits, what they act like.  What they eat, drink, if we get lucky maybe even their interaction with the equipment.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Has any part of the Away Team come close to one of the Yogi's or are we still working in the blind so to speak?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Of course. We will collect and hand off to science for break down of the chemical molecules.  And we will need air samples of all locations, even here in the settlement.  ::walking into the office looking for the local help::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Did you want to take a walk and look for some Yogi's with me?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::takes out a vial and takes off the lid, then reseals it::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CNS: I suppose so.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::taking out her pen, she labels the specimen::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Not at present. But we may encounter one in our collecting. Be prepared.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CMO: I will join you, if you don't mind.  I am confident that none of us consider this "dangerous territory"?  If so then I will return to the ship.  If not, we will need some sensory recording equipment I believe.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::calls out::  Whoever is in the office: Hello?  We require assistance.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  While you go in the office, I am going to take a water sample, all right?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  
CMO: I just hope the Yogi can distinguish between equipment and living, tearable, bruise easy flesh.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Make sure it is from outside the colony, not from within.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If they get that close, than we are more sneaky than I thought.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Sorry Sir, I thought you wanted one from in the colony.  I will wait for you out here then.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CNS/CO: Somehow...I'm not too worried about any attacks on us.  ::Shrugs::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO/CMO: I'm very good at climbing trees, if necessary.  That's what you do if see a bear on Earth.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: The colony will have contaminants, they will need to be fresh samples as the creatures would only take from that.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That would give us a better vantage point I am fairly sure.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I was thinking for self preservation, Sir but, good view is good too.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::begins thinking of the damaged equipment, maybe something in the wreckage could provide clues to the attacks.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude>  :walks from around a corner::  CEO: Howdy, how can I help you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Either works.  
CMO/ CNS: Image enhancers, perhaps light and thermal.  Sound recorders, Tricorders.  Anything else you think we would need?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: ..Photon cannons?  Just in case?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Has an imager out and begins a record of the observation that looks more like a nature documentary::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
Dude: I need an image map of the colony and a 15 kilometer surrounding radius.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks cockeyed at the CMO.::  Do you really think they are that much of a threat?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude>   ::looks at the FCO::  FCO:  Anything for a purty face.  ::walks over to a console and pulls up what was asked::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Shakes her head:: CO: Hardly. I honestly think that these creatures aren't acting naturally.  There's something else behind this and pulling the strings. The creatures aren't a threat...but whatever that behind it, is.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::raises and eyebrow and looks at the CEO::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Recorded on imager: We are in search of the elusive, but destructive, Yogi, Captain Ayidee is leading the expedition and we have the Doctor with us.  I feel confident my survival rate is positive.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
Dude: Now highlight the areas that were attacked.  ::Suppresses a smile at the FCO's experience::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: It is possible, but if so, we can have an active sensor sweep going on over the area as we work.  If something shows up we should have time to get reinforcements.  If not, I believe you are more than adequate with a Type II Hand Phaser?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CO: No worries there. I'm sure you could keep up too, yes? ::Smiles again::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Dude> CEO: Alrighty.  ::the areas of attack have been highlighted::  
FCO: You know I got a good stash out back if you like a drink later. ::smiling with a missing tooth::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I haven't lost that much since my days on the Huron.  I can handle one fine.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I thought Doctors only shoot with a hypo-sprayer?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks at the map;;    Dude: Do you know where the creatures bed, or arrive from?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
Deputy Dude:  Sir, we are not allowed to indulge while on a mission.  I am sure someone here would be happy to share your stash.  ::staring at him::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Thinks of an adequate response:: CNS: I'm most likely the most dangerous CMO you will ever meet in Starfleet. ::Shrugs:: CO/CNS: Shall we go?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude>  ::laughs::  FCO:  Gosh you don't have to be hard.  Can't blame a pardner for try’n.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Cherokee*: This is Captain Ayidee.  I need three image enhancers with thermal capabilities, an audio amplification unit with recording capabilities, and three Type II Phasers beamed down to our location.  And, if we have one, an portable observational "duck blind", if we have one available?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows, not knowing how to take that::  CO: She's on our side, isn't she, Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, Ensign.  And a good one to have on your side.  Some doctors simply heal the injury.  This one can help to stop them before they happen.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Thinks - Why would any one want to blind a duck?::
CO: Great, like Doc Holiday in them old westerns.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: At least to us.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude>  CEO: We reckon they be coming from here.  ::highlights the place::  there's a cave there.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Looks confused:: CO/CNS: Doc Holiday...?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::uploads the data into his Tricorders::   Dude: Thank you for your time.  ::turns to leave::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees a package of the requested gear materialize.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Check your Earth history book, Doctor.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude>   ::runs and grabs a scrap of paper::  CEO/FCO:  Wait.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Cherokee Tactical> *CO*: Sir, no duck blinds available, but we have the parts to make one.  Should we set one up?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Helps the Captain sort out the equipment::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::pauses at the door, waiting for who knows what with the deputy::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Cherokee TO*: Set one up just in case.  Not sure we will need but at some point we may need it.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Rolls her eyes:: Self: Earth History...riiiight.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Deputy Dude> ::walks to the FCO::  FCO: Here you go.  In case you change your mind.  ::hands her the paper::  That there is my com channel.  ::grinning::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looking at the plants and bushes around them, looking for broken branches, tracks or yogi poop::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::awaits for what Dude has::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Reaches down and grabs the imager and a Phaser Holster, attaching the holster to the belt.::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::just looks at the paper::  CEO:  You night want to take this, just in case ::nodding at the paper::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Cherokee TO*: Use the sensors to find the closest group of the Yogi that you can and give us the coordinates, if you can.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Picks up her equipment before picking up the Phaser and twirling it in her fingers before putting it in her holster.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Captain, I have an idea regarding the damaged equipment, I need to examine them again to be sure my hunch has merit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
   OPS: Very good, if you need assistance contact the ship for whoever you need.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: That will be quite all right, He is not my type.  ::walks out and stands by for the FCO::  We shall transport to the location he highlighted.
*Cherokee* Site to site transport to the coordinates I am uploading now. Two for transport.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::walking out behind the CEO ignoring the paper::  CEO:  I am right behind you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Cherokee TO> *CO*: Detecting what may be a group of them about 1500 meters from you, bearing 22 degrees off true north.  Eight large beings, most likely Yogi, nothing else on record of that size on the planet's land.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks to her before transport takes place::  FCO: He might be a suitable mate.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and looks to the thick forest to the north.::  CMO/ CNS: There is a group not far, probably better to walk so we don't beam into a pack of them.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@<TR Chief>  *CEO*  Coordinates received, transporting now.

ACTION:  The CEO and RCO are transported to their desired location.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods:: CO: Let's get moving then.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Recorded: We are heading for an area where we know yogi's are hanging out.  We know not which way, if any, the Yogi are traveling.  I hope we see them before they see us.  ::Follows along::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods and heads off to the woods, moving a bit quickly at first, but getting more sneaky about a kilometer in.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks around::  FCO: Take every possible sample. Vegetation, soil, water. air.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Moving swiftly with a trained assassin's step, not making a sound moving through the woods.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks around.::  CNS: Any trees look good to you?  From one of these tall ones we should be able to get a good look.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Yes sir!  ::bends down and takes a sample of the soil.  Places it in a vial.  Next comes several varieties of plant life, each in its own container.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees the cave::  FCO: I will be in there collecting samples and scanning the geological landscape for every detail. I'll do the same inside there.  ::points to the cave::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Walking as quietly as possible::  CO: This one looks easiest to climb.  ::Points to the tallest one near by::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks to the cave and enters, scanning the interior as he goes.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Looks like a good choice.  Not exactly Jeffries Tube junction E-18, but it looks good.  Want to take the lead?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Still moving silently, cringing as they step on every twig they can find.::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::takes an air sample outside the cave and finds a small sapling to take as well::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees droppings and collects samples and scrapings from inside the cave, and taking air samples::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::hears the sound of running water and walks towards it for a sample::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Recorded: This is so exciting, like in a book by Kipling.  We are going up into a tree to get a better point of view.  I will be taking lead, thanks to a generous Captain.  CO: Aye, aye, Sir.  ::Secures his gear and begins the ascent::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::bends down and takes a soil sample from the cave floor::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::walking carefully around the trees, she sees a stream, looking back and forth to make sure no Yogi's are around.  She quickly walks up to the stream and bends down to take a water sample, then notices something like fish in the clear water.  She wonders if she should try and get one, but they are too large for any of her containers::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Climbing::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks back out of the cave, satisfied he has what is needed.  Looks around, not seeing her he taps his Comm badge::  *FCO* I believe we should have enough for replication.  Return to the cave entrance.  We shall be returning to the ship.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::while she is there, she notices some berries on bushes nearby::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Pauses:: CO/CNS: Would you rather I be in a tree too?  Or see if I can get closer?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::jumps when she hears the CEO's voice:  *CEO*:  On my way.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she makes her way to the building with the damaged equipment.  Once arriving, she begins her daunting but meticulous clue finding search mode.  She began to smile as she got a mental image of a rag tag mystery solving fictional team with a dog.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears CMO from below and leaves the answering to his CO.  Going up!::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: If you want to try and get closer, then just be careful, and give me a chance to get a few meters up so I can cover you if needed.  Just give me a minute to get up there.  ::Looks up, then starts quickly climbing to h high enough perch to see the Yogi's.::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks around seeing if any of the creatures would return while they are there::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::seeing some wild flowers on her way back, she takes some::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Waits patiently::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stops somewhere above the CO and finds a comfortable tree limb to sit upon.  Resumes recording the going ons below::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::walking back towards the cave, she sees the CEO outside::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Waves down and hand cuffs for a loud whisper..::  CMO: Go ahead, we're ready.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
::sees the FCO::   FCO: Those flora would be better collected in a sample case, not held within your hands.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods and deftly moves out towards the Yogi population, still moving silently::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  I have some nice samples here.  I wonder why we weren't told about there being fish in the stream?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Recording the CMO as she goes sneaking off::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Good observation. I do hope you took a sampling of one.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::grins::  CEO:  Thought they would like nice on my supper table tonight!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the imaging unit and concentrates on the CMO to ensure none of the creatures go after her.::  Self: I haven't covered an incursion since the Dominion War...

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::then takes out a container with a wild flower in it::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Did you say something, Sir?

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
Self: Humans.    FCO: A sample.  ::nods ::   Prepare for transport.  We are returning to the ship.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Ready when you are Sir.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
*Cherokee*  Salor to Cherokee, 2 to beam up.

ACTION:  The CEO and FCO are beamed to the Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Just noting, it's been a long time since I've been covering an "incursion" like this.  Was my main task during the Dominion War.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@::appears in TR1 :: FCO: Take those samples to the Science Labs.  Have them break them down to their molecular level and forward the data to Holodeck 1 and meet me back there.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@::hands over his samples he collected::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The Dominion War, Sir?  ::Gets very sad for a moment then, recovers::  CO: I didn't think you were that old, Sir.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::reaches out to take his samples and turns to go to the lab::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@::steps out of the TR and heads to the Holodeck::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm not that old, Ensign.  It's only 20 years...only?  Maybe you are right.

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@ *Science* I need a detailed scan of the geography of the colony and 15 kilometers of the surrounding area.  Send all data to Holodeck 1.  :: as he is walking::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  I mean, no, Sir.  It wasn't that long ago at all.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@::walks into the science lab and gives them all her samples::  Science Tech:: As soon as you get results, send the information to Holodeck one for the CEO please.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Moves as close as she feels comfortable to the yogi's. While keeping out of sight, she peers around the nearest tree and observes them.::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
@::hears grumbling about all the work they have on their hands all of a sudden::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Goes back to watching the CMO and his "targets".::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Concentrates on work::

CEO_LtJg_Salor says:
@<science tech>  *CEO* Yes sir. you will have it soon.  ::hearing the FCO talking to another tech and thinking since when did the CEO run things around here?::
