Ship’s Log, Stardate 11602.07, Captain Tio Ayidee recording: The Away Team has determined the former colony site is secure  enough for myself and the Pertel delegation to come down and take a look at it.  We hope that they will find the location suitable.  If not, then we will resume the search.

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

SO_Expendable says:
@::getting ready to be beamed down the surface, making some coordination with the science teams leaders::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::In Transporter Room, preparing to Transport down to the surface.::  Artang: Are your crews ready?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Waiting for the arrival of their guests::

Host Artang says:
@CO: Yes Captain, we are ready.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::After spotting the animal that ran away, Wally goes to do some more exploring::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::waiting for the others to beam down.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Steps onto the Transporter Pad with Artang and his Science Staff.::

SO_Expendable says:
@::tugs his uniform as he finishes giving his last instructions and steps onto the Transporter Pad::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Transporter Chief: Ready to Transport down to the Away Team's Location, send us down when ready.

ACTION: The Second Away Team is Transported down to the surface. Besides the Captain, SO and Artang there is the Pertel's Chief Scientific Commander, Quert and a pair of other scientists.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Suddenly realizes he has no idea where he is.  Must use his tricorder to scan for Klingon DNA.  That will take him where he wants to go::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO/Artang:  Mister Artang, Captain, welcome to Avril IV.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Thank you.  Anything of interest so far?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Returns and joins the others::  CTO: Hello.

Host Artang says:
CTO: Not a bad first impression.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO/Artang: Oh, you're here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It'll take some doing to get it cleaned up, but overall, everything seems to be in pretty good shape.

SO_Expendable says:
::materializes on the surfaces:: All: Hello everyone... ::looks around:: Indeed this looks desolated... ::starts working with his tricorder::

Host Quert says:
::Without a word he pulls out a wand like object, places a finger to an eyepiece he is wearing, and starts scanning the area about with his wand.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes Counselor.  What have you found so far?

SO_Expendable says:
::looks at the strange scanning device of Quert::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I saw this animal, it was cute but it ran off, as I'm sure all of the wildlife in the city will do when they find out we're here.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Did the Synod kill animals with their bio weapons too?

Host Quert says:
::Reaches up again and touches the eye piece.::  Artang: The planet's atmosphere is well within acceptable levels.  I class for certain.
CNS: They were in the city?

SO_Expendable says:
Quert: Hope you don't mind... but I assume it is a wide range scanning device you are using? Interesting concept.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, Sir, these buildings make great shelter for animals too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: From what we know about the attack I do not believe the weapon could discern intelligent beings from typical animals.

SO_Expendable says:
::receives all the reports from the preliminary scans and revisions from the science teams on his PADD::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I thought as much.  That's sad.  It would explain why there aren't any large animals in this area.

Host Quert says:
SO: Yes, the wand takes the readings and sends it to a control pack.  ::Taps a small box on his belt.::  Then it sends the data to the eye piece.

SO_Expendable says:
Quert: ::nods:: Interesting concept.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: The Synod were not concerned with collateral damage.  The range affected is estimated to be a few dozen kilometers.  Wildlife would take a few years to move back in.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Yes, and the larger the animal, the slower they breed.

Host Quert says:
CNS: I am not detecting any signs of any weapon effects still here, so it was limited in its effect.  Thankfully I suppose.
SO: Your scanner seems more consolidated.  Doesn't that make it harder to manage what you are doing?

SO_Expendable says:
Quert: Not all. Once you get familiarized with the interface, it is rather simpler to handle lots of data.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: I'm sure the Pertel could learn to live with the wildlife that exists on this planet, Mister Quert.

Host Artang says:
All: So it seems we are given an opportunity here.  What sort of structures are available here?  Any landing facilities, manufacturing, or had they not built to that level yet?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Artang: At the point of the attack the colony was primarily agricultural, they had just started to get to the point where they could accept new settlers.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Artang: I suggest we survey the city and see exactly what's here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Artang: I think the colony was still mainly an agricultural system.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Artang: Any industrial activity would have been in support of agriculture.

Host Quert says:
CNS: Of course we could.  This is not the first world we settled. Just the first time we've had to do it without the resources of the empire.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: Think of it as a second chance.  Not too many civilizations get a second chance.  Sure, life for the Pertel will be a little primitive at first but, the simple life has its rewards.

Host Artang says:
CTO: Yes, of course.  Just wondering what we are looking at.

SO_Expendable says:
All: Science teams preliminary reports are coming in. It is confirmed that the area is clear from any danger or risk from the nano-weapons. In general lines, the city buildings only need some overhauling and it will be totally usable.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO/All: We mostly need a good gardener and a lawn mower.

Host Quert says:
CNS: Yes yes.  I am sure you are right.  It is just strange. One day you lay down to go to sleep, the next you wake up to find all you knew...never mind.  It is best not to dwell.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS: And a touch of paint here and there.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: Some goats could be brought in to assist with the clean up.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: I don't know what you're going through but, it sounds unbelievable.  But, ain’t it great you're here.  You're still alive after twelve billion years.  And I think it is okay to talk about it.  You're not alone.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Goats with weed whackers?

SO_Expendable says:
CTO: or some guinea pigs too...  ::realizes he is making too many witty remarks and concentrates on his work::

Host Quert says:
CNS: Yes indeed.  What is a, how are you saying it, Goat?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: An animal from the planet Earth.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Of course not. Goats would provide a great deal of assistance.  They would help to dispose of the excess foliage by eating it. They provide milk for food, their dropping would provide fertilizer for the crops that the Pertel will be planting.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: It's bad enough we're introducing one alien species to this ecosystem.  I think the goats are a bad idea.

ACTION: Artang and the Captain walk off towards one of the buildings to check it out.

SO_Expendable says:
CNS : From that point of view, it is.

Host Quert says:
::Takes a minute, taps his eye piece and makes a few small head movements.::  CTO: Milk, yes, some of our supported species drank that stuff.  Didn't really fit our needs.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: Can't make a milkshake without it but, who knows?  There may be an animal already on this planet that's milk is suitable.

Host Quert says:
CNS: Some of the non Pertel who were on the station would have a use for it, yes.  My scanners show a very high likelihood we will be able to find more suitable nutrition sources in the surrounding landscape.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Don’t forget about cheese.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: I'm sure you could.  This planet looks very fertile.  I bet there's lots of treasures here, you just need to discover them.  Must be very exciting for a scientists.  New discoveries around every corner.

Host Quert says:
::Kneels down and pushes hand into the soil just off the road.::  All: Rich soil, fertile, seems like it will work.  Need to run a few tests but most I class planets the soil is sufficient, even if some need...enhancement? Fertilization, that sort of thing.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I like cheese.

Host Quert says:
SO: You have access to your ship sensors, is this region of the planet typical for this world in general?

SO_Expendable says:
Quert: Let me check the information. ::taps on the PADD::

SO_Expendable says:
Quert: This planet type is rather typical from this planet, with some variations, but as a general rule, the answer is yes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: Different types of terrain and weather patterns yield different resources.  Variety is the spice of life.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: I think this is exciting.  I'd love to be a part of starting over, building from nothing, it'd be a real challenge.

Host Quert says:
CNS/ SO: Of course, and we have the knowledge to adapt, we just do not have the resources now if you understand what I mean.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Quert: I'm sure the Federation would be willing to help with resources to get your people started.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: What resources are you referring to?

Host Quert says:
CNS: In the short term we need food of course.  But in the long term, the more we have access to the better.  To be honest though I was looking at the future.  If we can recover our numbers we will need some room to expand.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Quert: You have an entire planet.  That should allow for several thousand years of expansion at least.

Host Quert says:
CTO: Which I now know is livable.  That's why I had to ask your Science Comm...Officer.  Sorry, you call them officers, my mistake, I apologize.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: You may have to live differently than what you did.  We have to be careful what we add to this planet but, I assured you before.  You are not alone.  The Federation is not going to abandoned you here.  We will continue to be a part of Pertel life.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Quert: Well as much as your people need or want them to.

Host Quert says:
CNS/ CTO: Yes, I understand.  Hopefully we will not need help for long.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: I found the Pertel, me and the Klingon.  I feel responsible for you.  I got this covered.

Host Quert says:
OPS: Commander, you seem quiet.  What do you think this world needs to be made ready?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Quert:  I believe your people's persistence in seeing to the future.  Somehow I know you and your people will make this work to your benefit.  And I promise you that now that you are known to the Federation, you will never be forgotten.

Host Quert says:
OPS: Never is a long time, but thank you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Quert:  you are quite welcome.

Host Quert says:
CNS: I appreciate your concern, but you are not responsible.  Fate is a cruel thing at time.  We just need to deal with our fate as best we can.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Quert: Be grateful you're alive.  We have faith in the Pertel's abilities to succeed.  Just don't grow up and be so powerful and try to take over the Universe some day.

Host Quert says:
All: There is much to be done, but we have good people to build it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Quert: I have no doubts that your people will succeed.
