Ship's Log, Stardate 11601.24, Tio Ayidee recording.  While the relief ships work to help the Pertel in their revival, we are now preparing to take Artang and his chosen members to the planet Avril IV in hopes that they will find it suitable as a new home.  There is still much to be done but this would be a good start for them.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.:: *All*: Status report, are we ready to head to Avril IV?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Tactical and security systems all read green sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::With the Captain on the bridge:: CO: If Artang and his people are settled then I think we're good to go, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Lay in a course then, Warp factor six once we clear the system.
OPS: Send our thanks to the support ships and let them know we will update once we know if Avril IV is acceptable.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> CO: Yes, Sir, engaging engines and departing system.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Will do, Sir.  ::Sends the proper thank yous and update promises.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: The planet in question was a few years into its colonization process when the war interrupted it.  Any thoughts on what we should be looking for as we ensure it fits their needs?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: So, Avril IV had only been inhabited for a few years?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Well it gives them a head start on infrastructure at least.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Except for the damages, its unspoiled, the environment, I mean.  That has to be a plus.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, to both points.  Three years, long enough they had the start of a system in place but still not to the point of being overly settled.  Just one town so not enough housing yet but it has many of the secondary needs of a city complete and a start on the homes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, that is true.  No pollution or stress on the environment yet.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
I'm sure Starfleet Engineering would be willing and able to assist with any short term housing shortages.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Wherever they live, it’s got to be better than the place they've been sleeping for the past twelve billion years, right?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Roomier, at the very least.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, why was Avril IV chosen as a colony sight in the first place?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: It was an uninhabited M class world, far enough from other systems to be independent and free.  Nothing in particular special about the world outside of the fact it was inhabitable.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: So the original colonists did not set out to specifically build a mining colony, or agricultural colony?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Mixed population, not many of the planet's resources had been charted out yet as they were still trying to build and expand the infrastructure.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: So should the Pertel decide that they like it they can pretty much mold it any way they like.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Yes, although that would be a question of what sort of beings they have to build the colony with.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I just meant that they don't have to worry about converting what's already there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Do we know anything about the flora and fauna on Avril IV?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: ...or the other animal life?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We have the files in the computer.  There was a great deal of damage done to the world's ecosystem but there is hope it will require.  There won't be much in the line of hunting for some time but it will also allow plenty of room to grow.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I mean it would be a real shame to bring them along this far only for them to be eaten by alien Tyrannosaurs.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Laughs::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I do not think that will be a... oh, that is a joke.  Very good.  But no, nothing large enough to eat one of them whole.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I'm not joking. If Avril IV were like Qo'noS the Pertel wouldn't last a month.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I'm more worried about the wellbeing of what already lives there.  The impression I get of the Pertel tell me they aren't the environmentalist’s type.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: You can't build an empire without cutting down a few trees.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Long term that may be an issue, but for right now the planet seems to have a great deal of space for native and foreign inhabitants alike.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well they ran a vast empire for who knows how long. They have to know how to conserve resources to make them last.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I don't know.  They might have gotten raw materials imported.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: The Pertel are corporate types.  They never care about the ecology, except for public relations.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: We have no idea what kind of industries they operated, what their waste materials were like. They're sun went Supernova, so it's not like they themselves killed their planet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Your concern is valid, but to be honest, they have about fifty thousand beings total.  Long term it may be an issue but not yet.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO/CO: All I'm saying is I think the Federation should watch the Pertel and see that they don't wreck the place.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Even on Earth in your lumber industries, the timber companies knew that they had to replace trees or they put themselves out of business.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I'm sure the Federation will be more than willing to stick their noses where they don't need to be.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: They may know that now but, not a few centuries ago.  Look what happened to Earth's rainforests.  No one was replanting trees there.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  I've been thinking about this and I was wondering what if their current descendants find out about their long time ancestors? I wonder how that would be handled.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: The computers looked into that, but at this time so long passed it is almost impossible to tell even if they do have descendants.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
OPS: I’ve thought of that myself. 12 Billion years is a lot of evolution.  Who are their descendants? Are they still even in this galaxy, or do they still even exist?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: I feel that somewhere out there, descendants could be possible.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Genetic testing must be done to find those answers.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS: Or is there a little Pertel in all of us?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Ribbit!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: It is possible, but how much have the genetics changed over 12 billion years?  It is a valid question but it will take some time.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  I suppose you're right.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO>: CO: We are clear of the system Captain, engaging Warp 6.  ETA is 4 days.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Acknowledged.
