Ship's Log, Stardate 11910.04, Tio Ayidee recording.  Our investigation of the Cryogenic Storage facility may have led us to an accidental restoration of part of the station's power supply.  We need to figure out what is happing here before things reach a point of no return.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On station, trying to stay on top of the situation.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts reading tricorder scans to determine what all is being powered up::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In the computer room wondering what's going to happen next::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on station, near the Captain::

SO_Expendable says:
::still struggling with the confusing alien language::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> All: It looks like the power got one of their generators going.  Power is spreading through the facility as we go, trying to figure out if we can stop this process now.  Or at least slow it down.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
EO: What about environmental systems?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CTO: Quick take, I'd say those systems would power up as the system boots up.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
EO: At least we'll know what kind of air they breath.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins to go through one of the computers four databases::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Chooses a computer console and begins looking for the historical data-base::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Stands a bit behind the guys on the databases, trying to read some of it.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Believes he found the section on philosophy::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> Jonnes: Get on the control systems, see if you can manually shut down the generators.

SO_Expendable says:
EO: I've sent to your tricorder all the basic operational commands. At least you will know what button hit first.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> SO: Thanks, just hoping this is something we can get a handle on.  ::Dives into the control systems, trying to figure out if these systems can be controlled.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Finds what he thinks is historical records..."In the beginning..."::

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: I think we should fast forward some part for now...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: They seem to be concerned about what is right and what is wrong but, as with any large group of individuals, their seems to be an opinion for everyone you ask.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: I think I found something.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That is common, and you may have been right.  They put that kind of thought where it would be most likely to survive.
CTO: What is it Lieutenant?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Perhaps they're just disagreeable but, the morality thing, that's a plus.  It means they probably won't slaughter us when they hatch out of those cyro-chambers.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: It's a little confusing. I'm not sure if these beings call themselves Pertels from Quellerite, or if they are Quellerites.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Quellerite seems to translate to Traveler.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I've never heard of either.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CO: I think we can take some control of their systems, but it seems once the power up starts shutting it down would require a hard shut down.

SO_Expendable says:
::hears what the CTO is informing::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: I think Quellerite is more they are of Queller, and Pertel is their specific species.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: We assumed these beings were from this star system.  Travelers, that sounds like they might have been going somewhere on this station.  Maybe it’s not an arc, more like a passenger ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CTO/ CNS: Or maybe this was one of their stops. Or their starting point.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I would think that if it were an arc there would be more than one species on board.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: For all we know this may be a penal colony, and these eggs all contain criminals.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looking in the computer for files on biology::  CTO: Have we completely searched the whole station?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CO: I think they are powering up power cores...batteries if you will.  Life support appears to have a large battery to it, but I think it may kick on fairly soon.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: That's not good.  Can you stop it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Can you see anything about their origins?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I went down a few levels found nothing but dust that was probably at one point their supplies.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I have not found anything yet sir. Perhaps if we could find something about their literature, or mythology.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CNS: Could we stop it?  Probably, but it will require a hard shut down.  Getting rid of the power sources one by one, maybe detaching them from the power system?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: If there were other species on board, wouldn't they have put them in a cryo-chamber?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
EO: We don't know what that might do to them.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I didn't find any signs of any further cryo-chambers, but that does not mean they aren't here somewhere.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> ::Nods.::  CNS: That's the problem.  We don't know what we started.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Continues scanning through the records::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: We don't know what's in the eggs we see.  I'm trying to find out about their biology.  ::Goes back to database::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Something catches his eye and he leans in to better concentrate on what he's reading.::

SO_Expendable says:
All: Translation is almost complete... the only catch is that seemingly some of very old entries to the database are written in another language. That can be appreciated mostly in their philosophical database.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: That file was pretty standard stuff for a civilized society.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Self:  Harbe'*

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: I agree, Ensign. However, it seems that either their language suffered a mayor alteration at a certain point of his history... or their ancient philosophical knowledge comes from another culture.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewmen_Jetmore> *OPS*:  Commander, we are replicating supplies over here just in case. Starfleet has been updated with everything up this latest bit.  Also no word yet as to when assistance will arrive yet assistance is expected.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir! If I am reading this correctly...this asteroid IS their homeworld.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: That sounds reasonable.  I wonder what happened in their history to make that change occur.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: That makes sense.  Preserving part of your empire...would be easier to just move them.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Whoa! I found the files regarding their anatomy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ SO: Could be some from outside sources, but most languages develop over time as new ideas and technologies come into being.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: I think we should find out soon and... Well done Counsellor... ::moves over the read the file::

SO_Expendable says:
CO: I agree.. but it seems to be very different from their newer files... with very little connection on their grammatical structures

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: The Pertels are like orange frogs, amphibian orange skin, no kidding.  They're only like, one point four meters tall.  Four fingers, counting a thumb.  And blue eyes, all blue, no white part.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Supplies are being replicated just in case they wake up.  Also Starfleet had been kept in the loop of what is happening.   Plus, our request for assistance had been answered but no sure when it will arrive but it is expected soon.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: You'll like this, Commander.  They're kind of slimy... or moist, if you prefer.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: Blue, orange and white... what a strange pigmentation..

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: It's a good start, but let us hope we don't need it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CTO: It would appear that the Pertels absorbed whatever cultures they came in contact with in order to continue and advance their empire.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  As long as they are a kind people, I'm sure I'll like them.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I bet they originally hatch out of eggs, like tadpoles coming from polliwogs.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Not sure I know what a polliwog is.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: They're all orange, with blue eyes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Frog eggs.

SO_Expendable says:
All: Amphibian origin.. just to state the obvious.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks around at all the "eggs":: CNS: It's starting to make sense now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: There are a dozen or so intelligent species listed here... ::Still looking at the database and reading::  and thousands of animal species.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: ....many dozen of intelligent species.  This is a hard language.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It seems as if this Pertel empire was similar to the Federation in the way that it accepted different races and cultures, however they had no Prime Directive concerning less advanced species.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: So they let the "god complex" fear work for them despite the risk.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It would seem so.

SO_Expendable says:
All: Environmental systems apparently kicked in. The temperature is slowly raising and atmosphere is beginning to regenerate.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts looking at some of the subdirectories in the database::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Notices a list of what seems to be languages, and starts looking through it::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Crewmen_Jetmore> *OPS*:  Commander, Ships sensors are indicating that the generators are powering up and more systems are coming online.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: That is both good and bad.  Will let us work easier.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*Jetmore:*:  Acknowledged.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: We should try to find a station's manifest to see who exactly is on this ship.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: Also means that soon the systems will attempt to bring the orange guys out of hibernation

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Captain, Just got word that the generators are powering up and more systems are coming online.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<EO> CO: I'm not sure if this process has any way to control it.  Still working on that now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood, apparently they built this place well.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: ...or maybe find the station's log files.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looking for any languages that may seem familiar::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We can look, good idea.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looking through file after file::  CTO: This is too much like doing homework.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Agreed.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Stands back and rubs his eyes:: Self: Bah! There is nothing noteworthy here!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Self: I do not recognize any of these languages.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I think these are the list of languages spoken throughout their empire.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Languages as dead as this system I'm afraid.
