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

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::On the bridge of the USS Earhart with the others::  All: So, what's the plan?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Earhart Bridge, moving to the Command Seat.::  
All: Let's get this ship locked down.  If we can figure out what happened to the Ambassador's ship it will be easier to get them out of imprisonment.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stands in front of a tactical console ::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on the Earhart bridge, waiting for the next move.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Taps into the Command Chair and works to lock down ship systems pending reactivation by Command Staff of either the Earhart or the Cherokee.::
All: Secure your typical stations and let all repair crews know to wrap up and return to the Cherokee.  We are departing in 30 minutes.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye , sir. ::coordinates tactical detachments::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Sir, we have sensors on line.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Download the sensor readings to the ship and lock down the station.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir. Working on that. ::taps rapidly on the console::
CO: Done, Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Finishes on the Command Console and stands up.::  All: How long on locking the ship down?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: interesting.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: So, we're going to go back to our ship?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, the sensor logs indicates that an explosion took place exactly seven weeks ago. Retrieving more data now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: To continue the investigation, yes.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Yeah but, there's no debris.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Get the coordinates if you can.  Give us a place to start the search.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Sir.. the coordinates almost match our present location. Sending the exact ones to your console and navigational. We are almost on the spot I'd say

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: The ship supposedly exploded here but there is no debris left?  
CIV: Full scan, there would have to be something left if the ship blew up that close.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Sensors at their peak of efficiency. scanning now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<aOPS>: *OPS*: Commander, the Cherokee's sensors are picking up a small space craft heading to our location at impulse speed.  They should be here in about twenty minutes.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*aOPS*:  Understood.
ALL:  The Cherokee's sensors picked up a small space craft heading straight for us at Impulse Speed. Their ETA is about 20 minutes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
All: That doesn't give us much time to prepare for company.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Time frame pushed up.  Ten minutes I want all hands back on the Cherokee.
CNS: No it does not.  Let's get back over.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::nods::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I am heading back to the ship.  When the ship is secure head back over.  I want all hands back to the Cherokee in 10 minutes.
::Walks back to the Transporter Room and Transports back to the ship.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she secures what she could of the Earhart's OPS station and she makes her way to the Transporter Room to return to the Cherokee.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows the CO to transporter room and returns to the Cherokee::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::finishes and follows the rest of the staff::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::upon arriving in the Transporter Room, she returns to the Cherokee.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes on the Cherokee:: All: It's good to be home again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Maintain Yellow alert but keep shields down.  All hands to duty stations.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::walks fast towards the nearest Turbolift::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Did you remember to turn off the light before you left the Earhart?  ::Smiles, so the Vulcan knows he's kidding::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she arrives on the Cherokee and quickly makes her way back to the Bridge.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Returns to the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to Bridge.::  All: Once we are on the Bridge we will attempt to make contact with the incoming ship.  We keep to the books, we do not know if this ship is related to the Earhart yet.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: :: Raises an eyebrow:: Sure, but I do not care. I'm not paying that bill. ::smiles::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Arrives on bridge:: Self: A Vulcan with a sense of humor.  What'll they come up with next?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives on Bridge.::  OPS: Hail the incoming ship, all known languages and common frequencies.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: I am a bottomless box of mysteries and riddles, Ensign.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CIV: Bottomless?  You must have a hard time sitting down.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::arrives on the Bridge, she quickly takes over OPS so she can hail the incoming ship in all ways possible.::  CO:  Hail sent, now we wait.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: ::frowns:: Still I need to polish my comeback answers... ::goes to his station.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Until the CTO gets back to the Bridge keep an eye on things.  All systems on standby, but weapons not active.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Understood. ::moves to tactical::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Takes his seat felling very satisfied::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::performs a quick diagnostic on shields system::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Any response to hails?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she gets an answer to her hails::  CO:  We are getting a response to our hails, I'm putting through on the Viewscreen now.

ACTION: The image of a strange looking little alien appears on the main view screen.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods and listens.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::finishes the testing and keeps the shields down, considering what they've learned from the Earhart logs::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Vul Chur>: COM: Cherokee: I don't know who you people are but, you better get out of here!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: Whoa! He's attractive... not.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Vul Chur: This is Captain Ayidee of the USS Cherokee, United Federation of Planets.  Who am I speaking with?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Vul Chur>: COM: Cherokee: CO: The name is Vul Chur.  This is my salvage and I have the legal documents to prove it.  I paid good money and if you think you're going to take what's mine you're sadly mistaken.  I have a signed contract.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::Self:: I've hear that claim so many times

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Vul Chur: This vessel is part of Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets.  We were sent to locate the ship and its crew.  Who is your contract from?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Vul Chur>: COM: Cherokee: I don't care who it once belonged to.  It's mine now.   Are you leaving peaceably or do I call the Rabidus authorities?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Vul Chur: We are not leaving this ship or its crew behind.  Go ahead and call Rabidus and we can sort this out.
