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

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::In sickbay making sure that the med-kits are well stocked::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Bridge, reviewing the configuration plans for the Guwisguwi while scanning the sensors with the other eye.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::On the Bridge, Eng1 Console, monitoring the work on the mission shuttle re-modification and fitting of the additional sensory pallet::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::On the bridge:: CEO/SO: How's the work on the shuttle going?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Plans look great to me, sir.  Nothing I'm seeing makes it appear anything but an independent trader.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
<Mileasaw Traffic Control> COM: USS Cherokee: Welcome to Mileasaw Cherokee, please continue on present course and establish an orbit over the 45th Parallel at an orbital distance of 75000 meters.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Sir, the engineers are progressing, work is going quite smoothly.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::on the Bridge::

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Replacing half used hypos.  Testing the different pieces of equipment to make sure that they are at optimal functionality.::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::On the bridge:: MTC: COM: Understood traffic control and thanks for the welcome.

TO_LT_LVor says:
CO:  Captain, I've located a Tactical Officer to accompany Captain Marek and Lieutenant Trix on the mission, Ensign Tyler, he flew with the Starfleet Academy Flight Demonstration Team, he has excellent flight skills, he has been assigned.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
FCO: Did you get our parking instructions, Mister Alvarado?

Host CiC_Bershew says:
<Mileasaw Traffic Control> COM: Cherokee: Appreciated and acknowledged.  CiC wants to know if you want him to come to your ship or if you want to come to the surface?

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Mileasaw welcomed us.  That's a good sign, isn't it Sir?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Sounds promising.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the TO:: TO: Very good Lieutenant. With those recommendation I am confident he won't crash the shuttle ::smirks::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Do we want to see Mileasaw or invite them here?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Scans of the planet are matching what the reports led us to believe, small population around 320,000.  Mostly industrial workers.  Relatively large military in comparison to size of population.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Finished the first med-kit and moved onto the second.::

TO_LT_LVor says:
CIV:  Aye Sir!  He may even be able to land the shuttle after the mission in the shuttle bay!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
TO: Just make sure he knows how to avoid scratching the paint while landing the shuttle...

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Well, since no one has an opinion.  Please invite them to join us on board the Cherokee, Ensign.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Advantages to both, on the Cherokee we the home field advantage so to speak, but a lot easier to get to know a people in their own environs.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
MTC: COM: We would like to invite your representative to join us here on the Cherokee.

ACTION: As the Cherokee approaches orbit 2 frigate size vessels fall in as an honor guard.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
<Mileasaw Traffic Control>: COM: Cherokee: Very good, Cherokee.  Commander In Chief Bershew will transport up when you are ready for him.

TO_LT_LVor says:
TO:  Captain, 2 frigate size ships have just taken up, what one would see as ceremonial escort positions on the Cherokee.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Replaces a broken osteo-regenerator and several empty hypo vials.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Quite a heavily armored escort... ::raises an eyebrow::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CIV: Aye sir.  Show of power to impress us?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Confirmed Sir, they are both military ships, armed, but not actively scanning 

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
MTC: COM: Understood.  Please stand by.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Taking both of the Med-kits makes her way to the bridge to replace the two that are supposed to be there.::

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Arriving at the TL.  Stepping into it.:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Send someone to greet Chief Bershew in Transporter Room 2, please.  Escort him to the Observation Lounge.

TO_LT_LVor says:
CO:  Aye Sir!  Escort assigned.

TO_LT_LVor says:
<TO Escort> ::Receives assignment to meet Commander-In-Chief Bershew in Transporter Rm 2, and escort to the Observation Lounge::  Reporting to the Transporter room in a quick pace::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Meeting in the Observation Lounge for anyone interested.  I'm making attendance optional.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Arrives on the bridge and makes her way to where the first Med-kit is.  Slides the old one out and replaces it with the one she checked.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::makes some tapping on his PADD and then follows the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Standard orbit, Mister Alvarado.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
MO: Good day, Doctor.

TO_LT_LVor says:
<TO Escort>  ::Arriving in Transporter Room 2, the TO checks his uniform, does a tunic tuck, then stands at attention awaiting the CiC Bershew to transport to the ship::

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Makes her way over to where the second medkit goes and swaps the second one out.:: SO: That it is, Lieutenant.  ::Offering her a smile.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
MO: If you would like to attend the meeting with Chief Bershew, Doctor, you are more than welcome.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
MO: Should be interesting.  Haven't spoken to a military head of state in like 3 lifetimes.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Looks up as she resecures the clasp on this med-kit that she removed.:: CO: Thank ya, Sir.  Ah think Ah might.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Self: It is 3, you, the doc and me.  YOU don't count yourself, I do.

TO_LT_LVor says:
CO:  Captain:  TO Escort is in position in Transporter Rm 2

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Have him ask Chief Otis to beam him up.

TO_LT_LVor says:
CO:  Aye Sir!

TO_LT_LVor says:
*TO Escort*: Mr. Gabriel, have the transporter chief beam CNC Bershew aboard.

TO_LT_LVor says:
<TO Escort> ::Mr. Gabriel nods at the transporter chief to begin transport...::

Host CiC_Bershew says:
<Transporter Operator> ::Informs Mileasaw we are ready and when acknowledged, initiates Transport.::

TO_LT_LVor says:
<TO Escort> ::Watches as Chief Otis begins the transport cycle::

Host CiC_Bershew says:
Tactical escort: Greetings, I am General Bershew.  ::Salutes.::  I am ready to see your Captain at his leisure.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Heads in the observation lounge and sets the two med-kits down into an empty seat then heads to the replicator and orders a coffee with extra cream and a 'smidge' of sweetener.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Enters Observation Lounge and pulls out a PADD with a section for notes ready.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Mister Alvarado, you have the bridge.  ::Gets up and exits bridge and enters Observation Lounge::

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Takes a seat and leans back holding the mug in both of her hands....Blows across the coffee to cool it just a smidge.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, sir ... ::gulps and then moves to the center of the Bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<TO Escort> ::Seeing the materialization beginning, the TO Escort takes out his Bosun's Pipe and gives the 3 tone whistle of an honored guest arriving::

Host Bershew says:
Escort: That pipe, Earth tradition, yes?  I've been trying to familiarize myself with Starfleet customs since I learned of your impending visit.  But so many worlds with so many rich traditions.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Takes a seat at the head of the table:: MO/SO: Thank you for attending this meeting.  You can both help me interrogate... I mean question the Chief.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<TO Escort> ::Seeing CNC on the transport pad:: Yes Sir! It is a long standing naval tradition, carried on by Starfleet Command.  Welcome aboard the Federation Starship "Cherokee" with Captain Daniels compliments Sir!  I am to take you to the Ship's Observation Lounge, if you would follow me Sir?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Laughs.::  CO: Yes sir.  Diplomacy and interrogation utilize a larger number of shared concepts than one might think and...I'll stop before the babbling starts, sir.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Well, we all think the same, I assume ::looks around::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<TO Escort> ::Turns to the corridor doors, which swoosh open and leads the Mileasaw CNC to the observation lounge::

Host Bershew says:
::Nods sharply and falls into step.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<TO Escort>  ::A few minutes pass, which seem like hours walking through the corridors with the CNC, and finally arrive at the Observation Lounge, The doors swoosh open, the TO Escort enters and announces the Mileasaw CNC to the Captain::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, may I present Mileasaw Commander-in-Chief Bershew.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Stands to attention.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO Escort: Thank you.

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Sets her cup down as the CNC of Mileasaw enters and stands.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<TO Escort>  ::Stands at attention, turns and leaves the lounge, waiting just outside the lounge doors::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: Welcome aboard, Chief.  We'll try not to take up too much of your time.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
::Steps in and gives first a sharp salute and then a bow.::  CO/ Crew: Captain and crew of the Cherokee, thank you for coming to visit our humble world.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:gives the Vulcan salute to Bershew::

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: From what I understand your mission will benefit us greatly if you succeed, so my time is well spent here.
::Tries to emulate the salute with a little effort.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> Relief FCO: Make sure to maintain orbit. We don't want to make any sudden course change that could make our escort... nervous...

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: Please, sit down.  Would you like anything?  Coffee? Tea? Milk?  ::Half salutes back::

MO_CMDR_McDonough says:
::Takes a seat and picks her coffee up again.::

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: I do not need anything, thank you.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: We came to talk to you about the raiders in this sector.  What has been your experience with them?

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: I understand that you have been searching for a means to fix the raider problem in the region.  Any luck so far?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: We may be making some progress with the problem.  Any information you can shed the light on could benefit our mission.
 
Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: In a nutshell?  They have hit our shipping from almost the Day of Secession 101 years ago next month.  If you want more details, this may help.  ::Reaches in his haversack and pulls out an older style Starfleet PADD, setting it on the table.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Notices the PADD.::  All: Diplomatic PADD, Diplomatic Core Tool for transferring sensitive data to and from allies.  Haven't seen one in 40 years.  Well, Trix hasn't, I've never seen one.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: I don't recognize it.  Must be before my time.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
::Nods.::  All: Captain Mosley left us a few when he first visited.  He said your people would be able to access it.  On this PADD is the portion of our training manual dedicated to the raiders.  It details every set of maneuvers we've ever seen them make.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
All: And the maneuvers calculated or proven to be most effective against said maneuvers.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: That's great.  ::Takes the PADD and gives it to SO.::  This should help.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: Knowledge is a great tool for those with the means to use it.  I know enough about your Starfleet to know it will be more useful to a ship like the Cherokee which isn't bound to protect one world.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<FCO> ::walks next to the nav console and stands watching the Main Screen::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Yes it should.  If it records the initial moves made by the "Uruk", then we can investigate Clark's theory.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: My thinking too.  Download it to our computer and give the man his PADD back.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: I know sometimes ones goals can not be met, but in exchange for this I just ask that you make every effort to succeed in your mission.  If the raids were to stop, the relief on our system would be beyond measure.

Host CiC_Bershew says:
CO: The PADD was a loan from Starfleet, there is no need to return what is yours.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Bershew: We'll do our best to stop the raids.  And okay, we'll keep the old PADD.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Takes the PADD and attempts to access it.::  CO: It is asking for a Commander Access level.  I could use Trix's old Diplomatic Code but technically that's been out of "legit" status since the invasion of Betazed...

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Have Commander Hull see what he can do with it.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Hands it over to Commander Hull.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Takes the Padd, looks at front and back::
