Ship's Log, Stardate 11612.04, Captain Ayidee recording.  The ship is arriving at Research Station 82 and getting ready to transport our cargo, including the artifacts from the Altrius mission.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps into the transporter room all dressed up in his best "Sunday/Go-to-meeting"  duty uniform.::

CMO_McIntyre says:
::gathering up her med kit and tricorder she proceeds to the transporter room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Transporter Room signing off on the last few sets of orders for transfer.::  All: Are we ready to head over?

CMO_McIntyre says:
::enters the TR behind Q'ten::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in Transporter Room::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::tugs his shirt as he nods at the rest of the staff::

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  I will hang out with you if that is ok, since I wasn't on this mission.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: Are you ready to study the exciting world of artifact examinations?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Ready and waiting on the transporter pad::  CMO: I'd love the company.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CTO:  Do I have to?  ::laughing::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: Apparently it's Captain's orders.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  Thanks, I feel like the fifth wheel here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps up onto Pad.::  All: After the interviews we can all go look at some of the experiments that are more your speed if you want.  There are quite a few things going on here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TR Chief: When you are ready Transport us to Station Transporter Room 1.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: The fifth wheel is the steering wheel and we definitely need that.

ACTION: With a nod the Transporter Chief initiates the Transport and the crew arrives on Research Station 82.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  Good, cause I can steer this ship if needed!  ::chuckling.::

Host Friedheim says:
All: Welcome aboard, Captain, Cherokee crew.  I am Commander Vance Friedheim, Station commander.  Welcome aboard.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks around after materializing feeling a bit underwhelmed::

CMO_McIntyre says:
::appears on the TR pad and takes a good look::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes on Research Station 82::  CMO: I see in your personnel file you've done time as a flight control officer.  Fly Randi!

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  Yes, and I loved it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Friedheim: Captain Ayidee, thank you for your welcome.  My ship's crew is working on transporting your supplies and the artifacts for Dr El'Do'Er.  Is she here?

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  I could turn the Huron on a dime.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<El'Do'Er> All: That would be me.  I was just letting the Commander have his moment.  ::Smiles.::  I am eager to hear your take on the Altrius, when you are all ready.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: And the inertial dampening systems have the stress fractures to prove it.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::whispers::  CNS/CTO:  A tour for a station this small?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<El'Do'Er> All: But please, call me Evelyn.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CMO: A man's home is his castle.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Friedheim: Her friends call her Eve.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CTO:  Tell tell on me... ::Grins.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO/CTO: We can meet the only two occupants of the station, the station master and the janitor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<El'Do'Er> All: Don't listen to him, please.

Host Friedheim says:
All: Would you like to see the facility or get right to work?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Where are all the scientists kept?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Maybe they're all in the little scientist's room.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::tries to stifle a giggle::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: There can't be too many of them. I'm already feeling crowded.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CTO:  Not much room for very many of them.

Host Friedheim says:
CTO: They are working in their labs mostly.  A few are working out of the Newton exploring the Abyss and its navigation effects on ships.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Friedheim: Interesting subject.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Friedheim: The Newton?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Friedheim/El'Do'Er: I think I'd like to see what you all are doing here.

Host Friedheim says:
CTO: A Science vessel, Nova class.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: The scientist, not the cookie.

Host Friedheim says:
CTO: On semi permanent assignment here to conduct the studies.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: He said Science vessel!

Host Friedheim says:
CNS: Then let's get on with it.  We can start with the Astronomy labs and work our way down to the Doctor's Manheim institute.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Friedheim: Sounds like a plan.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::waits to follow behind the CNS and CTO::

Host Friedheim says:
All: Then let's go take a look.  ::Turns and walks a short way to a Turbolift.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the rest of the crew::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Follows along behind Friedheim::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: A science vessel named after scientist Isaac Newton, not to be confused with the cookie made of figs.  ::Follows Friedheim::

Host Friedheim says:
::Enters Turbolift and requests Deck 1 once all are aboard.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I know that!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Good.  How am I supposed to know what Earth things you know and what I have to explain to you?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: You can start with figs.

Host Friedheim says:
::Exits the Turbolift.::  All: This facility is a collection of telescopes and telescope analyzing systems.  Used to put together all the images collected of the space around us and build a more complete picture of what is out here.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::grins::  CTO:  It a fruit.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Laughs:: CTO: A fruit grown on Earth where it's hot.

Host Friedheim says:
<Woman's Voice> CIV: Captain Marek?  Is that you sir?

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  Q'ten just got stereo from us.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Checks out the telescopes::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: They grow hot fruit on Earth?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::turns his head towards the voice: Voice: Yes.. ::raises an eyebrow::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Saves me from having to tell him everything twice.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Yes, it comes off the tree pre-cooked.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: And they make cookies from it?

ACTION: A younger Trill steps from one of the consoles and steps forward wearing a Starfleet Junior Lieutenant Uniform.  Marek recognizes her from the Pandora.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::just shakes her head at both of them, smiling::

Host Trix says:
CIV: Great to see you again sir.  I haven't seen any of the other staff since I left the Pandora.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Yes, and they're delicious.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: Ensign! I mean Lieutenant Trix! Glad to see you. ::makes the Live Long a Prosper sign then offers his hand::

Host Friedheim says:
All: Ah, this is Lieutenant Trix, although it seems she knows one of you.  She is Chief Science Officer of the Newton.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees CIV talking to a young female:: CTO: Look who has a girlfriend.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS:  :give CNS a little shove on the shoulder:: See, I told you miracles can happen!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: Congrats on your promotion and new assignment.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: It'll be like seven years before he asks her out on a date.  I hope she knows that.

CMO_McIntyre says:
CNS:  Who knows, maybe he is closer than you think!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: How do you know it will be the whole seven years?  Maybe he's partially through a cycle.

Host Trix says:
CIV: Thank you sir.  Good to see you didn't get stashed behind a desk somewhere.  I take it this is your crew?  ::Turns to them.::  All: Greetings, Vertan Trix, at your service.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: When he goes off, I don't want to be around.

CMO_McIntyre says:
Trix:  Nice to meet you.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: Yes Lieutenant,... ::raises an eyebrow:: I'm old, but still young to be behind a desk...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Trix: Hi.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: This is Lieutenant Trix , a former member of the USS Pandora.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Trix:  ::Holds out his hand:: A great pleasure it is to meet you!

Host Trix says:
Friedheim: Want me to continue the tour?  I know it's your baby but the Newton repairs are going to take a few hours at least.

Host Friedheim says:
Trix: No thank you Lieutenant, as you said, this station is my baby.

Host Trix says:
Self: Yes I did look it up before, quiet.

CMO_McIntyre says:
::feels an odd sensation from Trix’s thought::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears Trix talk to herself.  Coughs and speaks at the same time:: CTO: Crazy.

Host Friedheim says:
All: Any questions about what is here?  Our imaging capacity is one of the best in the quadrant, heck one of the best in the Federation.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: It's been a pleasure Lieutenant. And except for the new pips in your collar you haven't changed a bit.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: You're the expert.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Friedheim: ::motions at a telescope:: may I?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Friedheim: So, you're mapping the area with all these telescopes?  How's that going?

Host Friedheim says:
CTO: Be my guest, Lieutenant.  That one is our Neutrino meter.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps up and peers into the eyepiece::

Host Friedheim says:
CNS: It is slow.  The major mapping is long since done but the project Starfleet assigned the Newton to carry out requires a lot more detail than usual mapping does.  something about new navigational systems or something.  Lieutenant Trix could tell you more.

Host Friedheim says:
<El'Do'Er> Friedheim: It's not that hard Vance.  They are looking for a high detail map to allow more "close in, high speed" maneuvering.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks more intensely into the telescope::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Navigational systems.  That should interest you.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Trix: So, what's new in navigational systems?

Host Trix says:
All: Looking to minimize the odds of critical contact with graviton fields to allow Warp speeds closer to major gravity wells.  Long term project, started at the Academy and still not close to ready for fleet wide integration.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: What in gre'thor?  What that Orion dancer is doing on that pole....I didn't know Orions could bend like that!!!

Host Ayidee says:
CTO: I'm not even going to ask.  Not what you are looking at or how Neutrinos are letting you see that...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks curiously at CTO:: CTO: What are you going on about?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: Sounds interesting. and complicated at the same time to fully achieved a final theory in a life time. ::raises an eyebrow::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Turns and grins at the CO with a sheepish grin:: CO: Just seeing who was paying attention.

Host Trix says:
::Closes eyes for a moment.::  CTO: Trelala, my 3rd host, says you should  try the one over there to check the view on that.  Hmmm, maybe shouldn't have said that one out loud.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Trix: there really is a view of that? I just made it up.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Trix: It's an old habit of you ::smirks::

CMO_McIntyre says:
::runs her Tricorder over Trix when no one is looking::

Host Trix says:
CTO: There's an infinite diversity of views out there.  Just like any problem out there, the key to finding the right answer is finding the right question...or in this case the right angle.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the CMO scanning Trix::

Host Friedheim says:
All: Should we move on or did you want to explore more here?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves slowly and mumbles:: CMO: don't worry... she is normal...

CMO_McIntyre says:
::whispers:: CIV:  From looking at these scans, her symbiont appears not fully functional.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Trix: I doubt I would be able to see Qo'noS from here.

Host Trix says:
CTO: Not with any usable detail, no, probably not.  Not without proper enhancement at least.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Long story, Doctor. But take my word for it, if she acts like that, then she is ok.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Friedheim: What can you tell us about the Pertel artifacts?

CMO_McIntyre says:
CIV:  I would like to hear more about this later.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Friedheim: ... or what do you hope to learn from the Pertel artifacts?

Host Friedheim says:
CTO: Mostly what I've read.  Items they deemed irreparable or obsolete after the help you gave them.  Dr El'Do'Er just wants a look at them so she can compare archeology findings to anthropological questions.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Noted. ::nods::
