Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11211.11, Captain Ayidee recording.  It seems our mission has just gotten a lot hairier, pun intended.  But we are seeing not just signs but strong signs of intelligence from the Yogi.  Unless they are very primitive language users, then the colony may serious location problems.

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

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Keeps looking at the Universal Translator in surprise that it actually translated something.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Holodeck.::  CTO: Get to a Comm panel and bring down the best linguist, biologist, and sociologist you can find and get them in here, ASAP.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Yogi: Can you speak?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: So, what do we do now?  Does that thing... ::Points to Universal Translator:: need more to go on before it can work both ways?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::still looking over the newly "assembled" damaged equipment to see if there would be any more clues to this mystery.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: I think it should start working now. Not perfectly, but it'll get there.  Let's keep going. You're the one who's good with words. ::Smiles::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Yogi: That's a very good question, in this case, we are human.  We want to learn to speak with you.  Can you say anything more?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<YogiP> ::Sniffs the strange beings some more, confused as it hears words mixed in with the grunts.::  CMO/ CNS: Gertak Trippa I vernehest frip that?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: I think the translator is still learning.  I'll just engage this guy in conversation and see where it goes, I guess.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@:Yogi: I caught a couple words there.  This is going well.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Whispers:: CNS: Keep going... ::Nudges her combadge and sees if anyone on the other end can pick this conversation up.::

Host YogiH says:
::Steps back, uncertain what is going on.::  CO: Trippa Chim Geldstehen!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Yogi: Let's try it this way.  ::Puts hand on a tree:: Yogi: Tree.  ::Puts hand on the ground:: Yogi: Dirt.  ::Puts hand on chest:: Yogi: Wally.

Host YogiP says:
@CNS: Trippa trin learn?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Points to CMO:: Yogi: Doctor.  Self: Huh?  Yogi: Yes, learn.  Learn talk, learn about you.  ::Points to yogi::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Holds hands out, palms open pushing slowly down, then realizes to a creature with no hands "go slow" gesture won't work.::  YogiH: Slow, let it work.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: I feel like Annie Sullivan teaching Helen Keller how to communicate.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Coughs hard and tries hard not to burst out laughing.::

Host  YogiP says:
@CNS: Learn speak? You Wally? ::Moves head to point at self.::  Volk.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Nods to the yogi:: YogiP: Volk.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Surprised it’s going so good:: Yogi: Yes, me Wally.  ::Taps his chest.  Points to yogi:: You? Volk?  Is that your name?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: I think his name is Volk.

Host YogiH says:
CO: Me Geldstehen Trippa!  Me Geldstehen ::UT crackels slightly:: send!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: I'd say that too.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Yogi: We are visitors here.  You have a very lovely planet here.  ::Looks about, admiring the surroundings of the forest::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
YogiH: Geldstehen ::Points to him.::  send?

Host YogiP says:
@CNS: You visit?  What they?  ::Points noise to settlement.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer: Understanding that knowledge of their language is limited, possible meanings for "Geldstehen"?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: Careful here...might be able to make peace…

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Has to think of an answer for that::  Yogi: They are... we're still trying to figure them out ourselves.  My friends have come to help Volk and his people.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Computer> CO: Word uncertain, 78% likely a proper noun.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: How's that for a diplomatic answer?

Host YogiP says:
@CNS: Volk and what people?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Transporter Room*: This is the Captain, mission parameter over ride for the guest in Holodeck.  Return him to where he was taken from, now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Yogi: Volk and his family?  ::Pointing to the yogi behind Volk::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<YogiP> CNS: All Volk family.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Blinks:: CNS: Volk might be the race, not its name...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Volk: We want to learn about all Volk's family and think what to do about... them.  ::Points to settlement, where Volk had pointed before::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: Oh, yeah, maybe.  Hmmm?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Volk:  Volk?  ::Points to him::  Volk: Volk?  ::Point to all of the yogi present::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<YogiP> CNS: We Volk, me, my family, other clans.  All same.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Yogi: Oh, I see, my bad.  I'm Wally.  This is Talora.  ::Puts arm around CMO::  Yogi: Human.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Let's go of the Doc:: CMO: Sorry, Ma'am, it was for illustrative purposes only.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Looks at the CNS with a quizzical look:: CNS: You're bold, aren't you?

Host YogiP says:
@CNS: Human.  Wally, ::Nods to CNS.::  Talora.  ::Nods to CMO.::  Me Arklin, clan berkan.  What are human?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: Depends, is that a good thing or a bad thing?  ::Smiles::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::Smiles and remains silent before looking back at the yogi::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sees the Transporter take hold of the Yogi and return him home, then turns and leaves Holodeck.::  *OPS*: Commander, what is your status?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: A pleasure to meet you, Arklin, clan berkan.  We are travelers, explorers.  We seek knowledge of other places and other races.  We come from... ::Points up::

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: From trees?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Slow going.  However, there is a possibility of more alterations since there was that one device found.  I hope to have more information soon.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: Beyond the tress.  Another planet, out there.  We traveled here in a sort of, machine that allows us to travel amongst the stars.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Mission parameters have altered.  I need to know, in a pinch, what percentage of the colony and it's equipment could we get on board if we utilized all available space, including pods?

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: Another Geldstehen?  That not be.  There only Geldstehen.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Stand by, let me look into that matter.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: I really need to speak with the Captain.  We're really getting into rough waters here.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin:  Geldstehen?  Who is Geldstehen?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: I thought so.  I was going to ask about the Prime Directive, but haven't we already crossed that bridge?

Host Arklin says:
@::Waves paw in front of him.::  CNS: Not who.  All of this Geldstehen.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: The planet is called Geldstehen?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: To a point. We don't have to explain everything to them. Geldstehen is the name of the planet, or what they call this place.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she pauses her work on the equipment and asks the computer to bring up the colony stats and the Cherokee information so she can get the answer to the Captain's question.::

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: Yes, Geldstehen is all.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: Oh I get you now.  Yes, we come from another planet with another sun, as do the settlement strangers who came before us.  We came here to make sure they weren't bothering any one.

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: Our range here.  Were first to find.  Marked range.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@::taps her combadge:: *CO*: Captain...we have news. We have the yogi- ::Ahem:: Volk's in front of us. We're communicating fully with them to this point. Orders?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: So, you want the strangers to go someplace else on Geldstehen or go away entirely?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Be cautious.  I sent the one we brought up back down.  Have you determined if they are sentient level intelligence or communicating lesser intelligence?  The one up here was...frightened, too much so to make a judgement.  He knew someting was up.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Flying blind with this first contact, hoping he isn't starting a galactic incident, and on his first day too::

Host Arklin says:
CNS: Away?  Don't understand.  Geldstehen is all.  But this valley ours!

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@*CO*: Practically saying in a very civil manner that they had marked this territory and the colony showed up. That give you an idea? Your call, Cap'n. ::Turns:: CNS: Anything to add?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: Tell him I'm deep into conversation with them.  :Sounds anxious::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that we can take all the people and the bad news is that only a quarter of the equipment would take up the reminder of our remaining space.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: You are the only volk on Geldstehen?

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: No, other clans.  Volk all over Geldstehen.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@*CO*: My personal opinion, is that we should leave. and fairly soon.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@*CO*: And I mean all of us. colony included.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: So, what if the strangers relocated to another part of Geldstehen?  Maybe the volk could even suggest a new home for them?  They'd like to stay but I think, and I may be wrong, it should be up to the volk where the strangers go.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Understood, I thought we were reaching that point.  Can you meet me back at the settlement in say an hour?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: You should know, I'm not my peoples leader.  Right now, I think the fry cook has more authority than I do.

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: We only know our home.  Others live other places.  Have to find unclaimed land.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: So, they can stay but, just not here?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@*CO*: I'll be there. I'll have to bring the Counselor with me. I'm not leaving him here with the Volk. ::Turns:: 
CNS: We're gonna need to wrap this up soon. We have a date. I mean with the Captain. Like meeting up. ::shakes her head and stops talking.::

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: This ours, yes  We keep.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: Can you tell the Captain I've negotiated a possible agreement with the Volk?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: We can tell him this when we meet up with him. Counselor, they aren't even a unified society. They live in clans. Your Earth history around 13th century. Maybe even earlier.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: Fair enough.  I got to go I guess, she's the boss over me... ::Points to CMO::  it was such an honor to talk to you, you can't believe.  I'd like to think I made a new friend today.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Who is manning Operations on the Bridge?  I need a secure line to Starfleet Command from my Ready Room in five minutes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: I think we should all leave too.  We can recommend that, but I know it ain't up to me to decide.

Host Arklin says:
@CNS: Friend?  Not enemy, start.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@Arklin: Well met, and well part. ::Nods and slowly stands up:: We will make your requests known.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  My assistant, Lt. Dawn Tiernan.  I'll get her on that right away.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Arklin: Agree.  Be well.  CMO: Okay, let's go.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@CMO: You think the Captain is going to be mad at me for talking too much?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
@CNS: Not at all, Ensign.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she lets Lt. Dawn Tiernan know of the Captain's request.::
