Ship's Log, Stardate 11512.06, Captain Ayidee recording.  The USS Antioch has arrived and the USS New Berlin is just minutes out, so we are close to being ready to revive the Pertel.  But there is still much to be done.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, communicating with Starfleet about how to proceed with the situation.::  All: Progress report please.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: More detailed information on the available planets for our new... err.. friends. ::taps on his console:: If they are determined to continue as an species, there will be no problem for them to find a new home.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It does not appear that any of the planets in question are claimed by any other powers.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: I'm sure that will cause some relief, even how uncertain they are of our motives.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: ::nods:: I totally understand their insecurities and doubts. But, having in mind their present situation, it is totally understandable. Once they get to know the Federation and their people, their fear will go away.

SO_Expendable says:
All: Although, for some reason, I have this hunch on them... If Irecall it exactly they were an Empire... so I guess they won't be joining the Federation in a near future...

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Just because they were an empire does not mean they will regain that status.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: How are our preparations going?

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Well, as the old Earth saying goes... all habits die hard... ::smiles::
::continues compiling information on the planets for the Pertels::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: I'm sure some of the other established powers in the quadrant will have something to say about any possible expansion on their part.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: My team is working on the final touches now, and preparing to easy distribution upon delivery. You know how I like to be efficient.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Indeed they would. But i guess, ruling that is so above my rank and position.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<USS New Berlin OPS> COM: OPS: This is Lieutenant Briggs of the USS New Berlin, we are entering the system and should be coming up next to you in just a couple of minutes.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Briggs: Understood.
CO: The USS New Berlin is just arriving and will be here in a couple minutes or so.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Very good.

SO_Expendable says:
::Taps on his console, while he recalls one of his former mates at the Academy was once stationed aboard the USS New Berlin::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: What are the chances of us getting their airlocks cleared so we can direct dock with them?

SO_Expendable says:
CO: bringing up the schematics to everyone's console right now.. ::taps::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, I believe the Antioch is ready to start beaming down supplies.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: As you can notice, there will be no problem in connecting the USS New Berlin and our airlocks together.
All:: With some flying skills, anything’s possible.. .::looks at the helm and smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Then get the engineers on it.

SO_Expendable says:
CO: Aye sir. ::turns to his console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Not to create a bad situation here, but any concerns for security moving forward?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Our helmsman I have faith in, but I don't know anything at all about the New Berlin's helmsman.

SO_Expendable says:
*ENG*: Engineering this is the Bridge. Be prepared for a hooking airlocks maneuver with USS New Berlin. Coordinate with Flying Officer. Bridge out.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: None so far sir. I have ordered Security details to be minimally armed.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Well, basically it is a by the book maneuver, should be basic knowledge for all Starfleet pilots.  Although i scratched some paint back at the Academy simulator during basic training. ::smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Right now that should be sufficient, but there are nearly 50, 000 Pertel on that station.  I just want to make certain you are confident that this won't suddenly go bad.
SO: I meant with the station's air lock.  Docking with the New Berlin and the Antioch should be easy.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: be that as it may, has the New Berlin Helmsman read the correct book?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: As confident as I dare to be sir. However I do not want to become...cocky.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Well, there is always the computer to correct his or her flaws...

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::gives himself a mental pat on the back for remembering the correct word::

SO_Expendable says:
CO: Oh, my apologies for the confusion. Will instruct Engineering on the corrections..
CTO: See, our worries then suddenly are gone ... ::smiles::
*ENG*: Engineering, this is Bridge again. A correction and update on last orders. Be ready to engage a docking maneuver with the Pertel station. Once again, coordinate with Flying. Bridge out.

SO_Expendable says:
::thinks:: That's why i became a Science officer and not an Operations one.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Just out of curiosity, is there any evidence at all of any evolutionary descendants of the Pertel?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: About how long should it take to build up enough of a supply of resources to start reviving the Pertel?

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: I should check that now that you mention it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: I mean out of all known species, there has to be at least one with some sort of genetic similarities to the Pertel.  But after 12 Billion years would we even be able to recognize those similarities?

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Yeah, I understood what you meant. Let me check it... ::access the Federation database on the subject and start making comparisons with all the information available on the Pertels::
CTO: Well, it is a long shot, but it might be plausible.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  For basic needs starter kit needs for 50,000 Pertels , I think about 4 to 6 hours providing every member of my staff work at the same time.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Good I'd hate to think I sprained my brain for nothing.

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: Result are being displayed now... ::scrolls the information on the screen:: After all , your suspicion were right. There are some similarities, but nothing conclusive.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
SO: Not so much suspicion as curiosity.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Get the crews on it, and coordinate with the other ships.  Keep Artang updated also.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Will do.  ::she informs her crew to get started on the supplies for the Pertels and to have her assistant inform the other ships of the plan.  She then prepares a report to tell Artang.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Let us get everything set up, these people may not quite trust us but they do need our help.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Tactical is standing by for crowd control sir.
