Ship's Log, Stardate 11602.14, Captain Ayidee recording.  As the Engineers work with the Pertel to restore as many of the colonies systems as they can several of us have started taking an inventory of what was left behind here when the colony was lost.  The place has been avoided for fear so most of the settlement is intact.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Avril City, checking out what is left of the settlement.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Casually looking around::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: Well, I guess the Pertel's immediate need here would be shelter for 50,000.  Then a place to store their supplies.  Get the power and plumbing going.  Then, I don't know... start living I guess.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: There should be some sort of meeting hall or something where a large gathering of people could meet.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/CTO: The settlement looks fairly intact.  They will need more structures but the power and plumbing systems are built, just need extension.  Anything in particular you feel we need to check out?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: See what kind of living quarters are here?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: What season is it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Housing for maybe a quarter of the Pertel at most.  Storage and meeting facilities should be enough for the start of the colony but they will need far more. Probably about 10,000 could settle here comfortably without new construction.
CTO: It is late winter.  Rather warm but this was built in the most moderate zone on the planet.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: So it's the perfect time to start planting crops.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: From what I understand it is very close,  yes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Could we give them the building materials needed for more housing?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: How very lucky for us and the Pertel.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: We could start with temporary barracks type shelter

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: What we have available will be made ready for them.  There are prefabricated structures already being prepared to send for them.  Starfleet believes they will be able to get them in place by the time the main population arrives.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: If there was a new colony being built here on Avril IV then shouldn't there be some building materials already here?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: You're assuming that such materials weren't taken when the colonists left.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Wait.  Aren't we jumping the gun a little.  Has Artang said this planet was good for the Pertel's needs already?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Quert seemed to feel that it would fit their needs.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: No point lifting a finger until it's settled.  Are they moving in?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: His people are still checking it for their needs, but he is fairly certain it will fit the need.  They just need to determine how the food sources and so forth will work here but I am certain that we can make it work.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts looking around at the local vegetation::

INFO: The vegetation is mostly overgrown native plant life, but there are a few well recognized plants from Federation settled worlds.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Spots what appears to be some sort of fruit tree and walks over and starts scanning it::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If I were one prone to gambling I would venture a wager that this world will be acceptable.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: So, if we built shelters, would we build individual family dwellings or more dormitory style as a quick temporary solution?
CTO: Either way they'll have more room than in their last home for 12 billion years.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I believe we could muster the manpower, between Starfleet and the Pertel themselves, to build individual dwellings fast enough.  Even if the transports had to stay in orbit a few days, I do not believe it would take much more than that for pre fabricated units.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: It would be nice if we could cut down as few trees as possible in making room for the new houses.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I would go with dormitory style to house as many as possible in the short term. Then the Pertel could design their own individual dwellings.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: For all we know at the moment, maybe the Pertel prefer to live in the trees.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO/CO: Maybe a combination of both, houses for family, dormitory for singles.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  CNS: Yes, but in the end that will be up to the Pertel.  However, most species do not go through the stages of development the Pertel have been through without some idea towards resource conservation.  And this environment is about their only resource.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: or underground.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I'm sure they will use it wisely.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I think they should put the statue of us right over there.  ::Points to the center of town::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: What makes you think there will be a statue? Perhaps it would be a holographic display.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Simply a plaque.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks disappointed:: CTO: I kind a wanted a statue, maybe in bronze.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Perhaps they will name a street after us.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Hmmm, Wally Way...  ::Smiles at the thought::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Q'ten Boulevard... Daniels Avenue.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Perhaps, but again, conservation of resources.  They are about 50,000 beings.  That is all that is left of their entire culture.  Remember to be patient in this regard.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: It's the least they could do.  After all, we've made quite a difference in the Pertel's lives.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: The Counselor Wally Daniels Memorial Highway.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I can wait.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Memorial?  That would mean...  Hey, don't bump me off.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Not necessarily.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I changed my mind.  I want a theme park... Wally World!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::laughs:: 

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Based on what you've seen, any projected problems getting the wildlife out of the city limits?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: No, Sir.  They seemed to be well versed with humanoid types and will most likely surrender the city to the larger Pertel.  We might experience resistance in the case of a mother defending its young if not old enough to travel.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CTO: Any expected problems with the buildings we've inspected so far?  Outside of the maintenance catch up?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: They seem sound and water proof, in case of rain.  Need a good cleaning but, nothing they can't handle.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Have we sent inspection teams to the storage facilities?  It has been more than a few years but perhaps there are some supplies and equipment that could make the transition easier?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: That's what I was thinking.  There must be some things here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: There are security teams looking sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not much farming experience in my life but is it possible there is seed stock?  Not sure how long that sort of thing would last.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: If there is not, then I'm sure the Federation could provide some

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Seeds stay viable for years, if stored correctly, I think.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Very good.  The security teams may find something I hope.  But I think that this place will do very well for them, even if we did need to supply them with quite a bit.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Just to get them started sir. I have no doubt that they will eventually flourish on their own.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: The Pertel are starting to remind me of the Pilgrims settling a new world.  This is history in the making, folks.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If we did not think that then there would be no point giving them the aid.  Light a man a fire he stays warm for the night, set him on...no, wait, that isn't the right phrase.  Oh yes, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach him to fish and you feed him for his life.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Smiles:: CO: That's very good, Sir.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Wise words.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: Perhaps we should find the colony meeting hall and gather everyone to find out what has been decided.

Host Artang says:
::Walks up to the group.::  All: Captain, Counselor, Lieutenant, I just wanted to let you know, my experts have weighed in.  It is about unanimous, this world is the best we could hope for.  We would like to accept your offer and begin the process of moving our society here.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
All: majQa!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Artang: Excellent, I will inform Starfleet and have our engineers work to start setting up the settlement.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Artang: Congratulations, Sir.  I know you'll be happy here.

Host Artang says:
CNS: Yes, thank you.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Pats Artang on the "shoulder":: Artang: Your people and you are going to do very well here.  Now what do your people know about the alloy bronze?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Laughs::

Host Artang says:
CTO: It is an ancient metal, one of the earliest alloys used in tools.  What of it?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Grins at Wally::
