Ship's Log, Stardate 11609.11, Captain Ayidee recording.  Our debrief of the Smith situation is getting some answers, even if they are not as clean as we'd hoped for.  Teams are already working on the outpost on the planet to clear any signs of Federation technology from this pre Warp planet.

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

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in the Observation Lounge, listening to what is going on.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Briefing Room questioning the Alien Captain.::  Alien Captain: Do you have any other information about other ships or beings the Smiths brought you into contact with?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In the Observation Lounge listening to the lizard CO not liking what he's hearing::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Alien Captain>  CO: I may, but honestly Captain, if I can make a request?  Given the amount of things that happened in the last two hours, would you mind if my crew and I took a bit to regroup and figure out exactly where we are and where we are going to go?  I need to make sure all my people are all right.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Alien CO: No you cannot take some time to 'get your story straight'. Your people are alright, just answer the Captain's questions.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Alien CO: Your people?  You didn't care much about Captain Ayidee's people a couple hours ago.  CTO: Show him the scar.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: It is fine.  We can get the answers soon enough.  Besides, we have work to do on the surface.
Alien Captain: We can give you a bit, but not too long.  
CTO: Have your teams escort them to a secure area.  Keep them together but under a watchful eye.  Close watch to say the least.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Pulls up his tunic to show the nasty scar in his side.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: The brig it is sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Very good choice.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: One minute they're shooting at us, next we're inviting them to dinner.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Signals a security team to escort the lizards to the brig::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS/ OPS: Now would be a good time to ensure that nothing is left behind that could influence the people below.  Does anyone have objections to my joining the team working on it with you all?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: We can object all we want to sir, but in the end, you are the Captain.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Why not?  Things can't get any more nutty.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: It's a CTO's call to ensure that the situation is safe.  Do you see a threat down there right now?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Not at present sir, but we cannot be sure if/when the natives will return, and no disrespect sir, but there is no surgery anywhere that is going to allow you to pass as one of them.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I don't think we'll have trouble with any natives.  You did a pretty good job of scaring them all away.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If we get to the point of making contact then we already missed the time to beam out.  If they make an appearance we will depart immediately.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Then by all means sir, join the party. I'll bring a couple of extra security personnel to act as lookouts.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: But let's get down there  The sooner it is scrubbed the sooner we can break orbit.  ::Turns and walks for the Transporter Room.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Follows after the CO::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows the others::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::follows everyone::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Transporter Room, grabs a Phaser and Tricorder and steps on the Transporter Pad.::  All: Ready?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps up to the transporter pad::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Steps onto transporter pad, with the Phaser and tricorder he'd been carrying::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::checks his Phaser settings::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Transporter Chief: Beam us down to the Outpost, please.

ACTION: The Team is beamed down to the Outpost where teams are already clearing the technology away.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes and checks for any natives nearby, outside the outpost::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I was just thinking.  It might be interesting to find out what their stories are concerning this place over the years.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<OPS Tech> All: Captain, Commander, Lieutenant, Ensign, didn't expect an inspection this quick  We are just beginning to clear out the equipment.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS Tech: We are here to assist, not inspect.  Relax.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Tech: No so much an inspection as it is assistance.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::materializes and begins to assist in the clean up process::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS: Do you think that is safe to look into?  Right now wouldn't all this just fade into story and legend?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: That's what I mean sir. What type of mythology would develop over this whole affair?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Mythology and superstition.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Oh, I thought you meant making contact with them and trying to figure out what they are saying now  Come back in a few centuries and compare our history to their legend?  Yes, interesting.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: The natives apparently believed this area to be haunted before we arrived. Has it always been that way, or was that a recent development as I personally suspect?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: In a few years we can come back and see.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: In the short term, even if we remove the technology there is still the cave complex.  Can we make it look more natural by pushing a cave in through tectonic activity?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I kind of find that interesting. What was a 'spark' so to speak that created a legend or myth.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I believe that would suffice sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: People look for answers to things they don't understand.  Sometimes they have to make up an answer, just to have an explanation because not knowing can be frightening.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: There is that, and it would be interesting.  Unfortunately I think the risk right now is too high for us to try right now.  Probably too high a risk to get permission to try but it would be interesting.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I'm not suggesting we try sir, only observing that despite our best efforts we have influenced these people and their culture, and wondering what the eventual outcome will be.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Yes, but all we can do is minimize contact.  Prime Directive is absolute but rarely cut and dry answers as to "how".

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: For all we know we have just created this worlds version of the Earth "Bigfoot".

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I would have to study these people to even give an educated guess but, I'm thinking, like has been said, this local legend will become what campfire stories are made of.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Or Roswell, keeping with...never mind.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: If we get every scrap of tech and the actual structure of the outpost, they'll never have any proof the stories are real.  However, after the scare they had here from you this area could become a place of interest for a while anyway, then it should all die down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Watches as the equipment is Transported out.::  All: Makes it easier when it's just a ripping out process.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gets out of the way of those working::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Anything besides the Outpost you can think of that needs to be taken care of?  Don't want to leave anything behind.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: They know what the landscape here looks like, it's important that they not see a hole where the outpost used to be, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Then don't collapse, fill it in with rock maybe?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: We should make it exactly as the hologram that shielded this place was.  It should be indistinguishable from what was here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That should be within our capabilities.  I was going to try and fake a seismic event to make it look natural but should be worth the effort.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: A seismic event would only bring more attention to the area.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: But seismic event would be seen as a natural occurrence
