Ship's Log, Stardate 11307.28.  The Cherokee has arrived in the Neuvena system and is making final approach on the Neuvena 4 colony.  Hopefully we will be able to alleviate their concerns and set them back on the route to "normal".

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

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  We are entering orbit now of Neuvena 4. Syncronous or standard Sir?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in Cargo Hold,organizing the supplies and gifts from the Twins to the local children::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  aFCO: ETA until we reach orbit of the colony planet?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, 15 minutes, slowing now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In his place on the bridge reviewing Starfleet protocols on negotiation::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS: Contact the planet and let them know we are in system, anticipating arrival in orbit in 15 minutes.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
::slowing to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she found the crates geared for the children and makes sure that goes first.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jetmore>  CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I think this is going to be a critical mission, and one that will lean on your abilities a great deal.  Any last minute advice before we start?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jetmore>  COM:  Neuvena Control: This is the USS Cherokee, we have just entered the system and should be in orbit in approximately 15 Standard MInutes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Advice that I will take myself, listen first.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Standing on the bridge, watching and waiting.::

Host Sheriff-Akhey says:
@COM:  Cherokee, we are eagerly waiting your arrival.  I am including the beam down information.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jetmore>  COM:  Sheriff:  Understood, I will make sure that message gets relayed.
CO:  They are waiting for us and they have forwarded the beam down information.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Jetmore: Very good.
CNS: Listening is always good advice in diplomacy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Anything scans can tell about the world that is unexpected?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Noting many distractions on the bridge and finding it hard to concentrate:: CO: Aye, Sir.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  5 minutes to orbit Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Any advice you can add moving forward here?  Or requests to make things flow easier?

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Kelley> :: down in cargo bay 1 with the CEO and hands over thePADD.::  CEO: Here is the final manifest.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Requests?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CTO:  This might a good tine to let chow'l out when we get down, to get her feet on earth again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Things you'd like to see us do for their medical situation.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
aFCO: Not a bad idea.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::takes the PADD and looks it over::  Keller: It looks in order.   ::walks over to OPS::     OPS: Is there anything else that needs to be added that may have been missed?  ::holds out the PADD to her::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::turns around as she hears Salor::  CEO:  All the supplies are accounted for from my department.  And there is a special crate up front from the Twins to the children which I want to go first.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
OPS: Understood Commander.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: We've seen what the Vroa have done to people. Any medical problems at this point...it's all post-triage. Damage control...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Agreed.  Still wish we, as an organization, could at least have figured out what they wanted...

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods:: CO: At this point, all we can do is go forward.  I have medical teams ready to take care of whatever needs taking care of.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Establish a syncronous orbit over the colony's center, standard distance from surface.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CEO:  So, I am leaving this in your capable hands.  Be sure to send the Twin’s gifts first then the rest.  I'm heading to the Bridge now, if you have any questions, call me.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Tibbitts> *CEO*: Engineering crews are ready and kits prepared for anything the colonist need.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir I have a security detail standing by to work with colony security.

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Aye Sir, We are entering syncronous orbit now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Excellent.  Perhaps we can at least get them to a comfortable level.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
OPS: I will.  I’ll man the cargo transport myself.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CEO:  Excellent.  ::she turns and exits the Cargo Hold to head to the Bridge.::

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
*Tibbitts*: Thank you Mr. Tiibbitts. Contact me if there is any problems down there. I’ll signal when it’s time for you and your teams to transport down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I believe our first contact with the colony's leadership should still be on board the ship.  Any opinions on why we should not?

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  The Cherokee is now stationary.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Reading about the politics of Neuvena IV, before and after colonization::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Very good.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she steps into the nearest Turbolift and she gives the order to head to the Bridge, after a few moments she arrives and steps onto the Bridge.::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, all shuttles are ready in case they are needed.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: If they are willing sir, however I would prefer we keep the numbers limited.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
*CO* Captain, all supplies are ready for transport once we are cleared to begin.  I’ll manage the transport myself from here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Commander, welcome back to the Bridge.  Once settled see if you can contact First Citizen Mortanna so that I can give her an invitation to join us on board.
CTO: Agreed.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
::Begins loading the cargo transporter pad with the help of Keller and another engineering officer, and makes sure the crate OPS's specified is on it as well::

Host aFCO-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, where is Representative Finney?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO* Acknowledged, Lieutenant.  We will be contacting the colony's leadership shortly.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.  All supplies are ready to for transport including a special gift from the Twins to the children below.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: He's been working in the Observation Lounge.  Probably taking the chance to see his world from orbit.  The Grounded are often like that.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she assumes OPS from Crewman Jessica Jetmore who filled her in on the up to date status.::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
aFCO: The good representative is still in the observation lounge. I have a man with him.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Not even looking at Miss Jetmore::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Finney*: Representative, we have arrived in orbit of Neuvena if you would like to join us on the Bridge.

Host Finney says:
::hears the message and stands up.::  *CO*: Thank you, Captain.  I will be right there.  ::Turns and walks to the Bridge quickly.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  First Citizen Mortanna:  This is the USS Cherokee, Captain Ayidee would like to extend an invitation to join us on board.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears the Ambassador is being summoned to the bridge and so vacates the chair so that he can sit by the CO::

Host  Mortanna says:
@COM: Cherokee: Greetings Cherokee.  I am first Citizen Mortanna.  Welcome to Neuvanna.  I would be honored to visit your vessel with Sherriff Akhey, if that will be all right?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  First Citizen Mortanna:  That shouldn't be a problem.  I'll inform Captain Ayidee.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
<Keller>  ::looks at the cargo pad::  CEO: I believe we can't get anymore on there.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Mortanna will be arriving with Sheriff Akhey.

CEO_Lt_Salor says:
Keller: It appears you are right. No more will fit.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to a vacant station::

Host Finney says:
CO: Sheriff Akhey is still in his office, good.  I had feared Mortanna may have removed him.  He is former Starfleet, and a good man.  May make your job easier.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Excellent.  We will meet her in Transporter Room 1 and then provide a tour of the ship.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Finney: I reviewed the colony records.  First Citizen Mortanna and Sheriff Akhey both came with you in the first batch of citizens, right?

Host Finney says:
::Gets a bit nervous..::  CO: Technically, yes.  Although Mortanna's husband Irvine was a much closer friend, at least to me.  She's a bit...possessive at times.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS/ Finney: Let us go greet the First Citizen and Sheriff.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Listens patiently::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Listening to the CO's conversation with Finney and those on the planet below::  CO: Huh?  Oh, yes, Sir.  ::Gets up, prepared to follow the others off the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: You have the Bridge.  
CMO: Doctor, would you prefer to join us or do you have other duties pressing?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hoping Talora will come with them::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Smiles lightly:: CO: Nothing I can't postpone for a while.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::nods as she is not surprised that she is put in charge of the Bridge yet again.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles, quite pleased::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Good, a show of experienced officers showing the guests the ship may be a good show of force in itself.  I hope.  ::Heads to the turbolift.::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Follows to the TL:: Self: I hope so too...

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Waits at the TL for the rest of the greeting party::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Allows others to enter Turbolift first::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the lift and requests Transporter Room 1 once the others are in.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Turbolift and walks into TR 1.::  All: Is everyone ready?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enters Transporter Room 1::  CO: Aye, Sir.  Simple meet and greet.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Stands next to the CNS:: CO: Ready, sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Resists taking hold of Talora's hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TR Chief: Transport our guests aboard.

Host Sheriff-Akhey ACTION:  Mortanna and the Sheriff appeard on the TL padd. (Transporter.wav)

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Mortanna/ Akhey: Welcome aboard the Cherokee First Citizen, Sheriff.  I am Captain Ayidee.

Host Sheriff-Akhey says:
::stares at the Cait, as this is the first one he has seen in real life::

Host Mortanna says:
CO: Captain, it is good to see you and your crew.  Welcome officially to the Neuvena system.
Finney: Albert, you appear to have fared well the last few months.

Host Sheriff-Akhey says:
CO:  Thank you... ah, hello Albert!

Host Finney says:
Mortanna: A pleasure as always, Shelia.
Sheriff: Bart, good to be home.  How's things going?

Host Sheriff-Akhey says:
::notices the tone in Mortanna's voice::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees the lady and the Sheriff materialize on the pad.  Wants to wrap an arm around CMO.  Thinks - What did that crazy Vulcan tell me to do in these situations?  Channel my sexual energies inward and refocus your thoughts.  Thinks it sounds painful.  Nods politely to the guests, forcing a smile::
