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

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::on the Bridge, walking around, checking incoming reports on several consoles... doing some minor talk with the staff::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Bring us in on thruster and take an all stop position in orbit of the Starbase.

Host Starbase_Operations says:
@COM: Cherokee: Starbase Two-One-One to Cherokee, we have you entering range and will commence Transport if you are ready.  Let us know if you need anything additional.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::On Bridge, continuing the study of the region of space surrounding New Cauldron, trying to see if there is anything to be done to make the trip smoother.::

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Executing standard procedures to standard orbit around the Starbase.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
COM: Starbase OPS: Understood, stand by.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Are we ready for transport, they seem eager?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Yeah if they're ready I guess we are.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
COM: Starbase OPS: You may begin transport.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
::checks nav reports. All data nominal::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: I've been studying everything I can find on the space about New Cauldron, dating back 30 years or more.  I don't think the ship will encounter any issues with travel, apart from the slightly reduced Warp velocity.  The Subspace region is unstable, the normal space appears unaffected, however.
Host Starbase_Operations says:
@COM: OPS: Acknowledged, Cherokee.  Transport commencing.  Hope your trip here was smooth?

ACTION: Starbase Transporters start beaming the colonists to the habitation pods.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: So if we go to warp 5.7 that will compensate when we get close.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Well more if we set the engines to Warp 6, we'll actually do like Warp 5.95.  Just slow us up a tad from normal.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
::maintains ship position.. makes a mental note:: ::thinks:: Not a single comment, Not a single comment

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Have a team or two oversee our guests arrival, help them settle in.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Aye Sir!  I have 2 teams assigned to monitor and guide the Colonists to their mission pods.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
TO: If you need some more bodies to help them settle in I have some staff I told to be ready to help if needed.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Very good.  Thank you.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
SO:  I have reports that the Colonists are in good spirits and are following directions; without issues. Thank you Lt. Trix, but if you would keep your department at the ready...

TO_Lt_LVor says:
SO: ...just as a precaution.  

SO_Lt_Trix says:
TO: Will do.  If nothing else just to keep them from fighting over turns at the sensor arrays.  ::Laughs.::  Tell them we'll be a small percentage off normal usage for sensors and they go nuts.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
SO:  Exactly!  I've heard stories at the Academy of Colonists loosing their minds over sensor array usage quotas!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
TO: I was referring to my staff.  ::Grins.::  But I may have just walked into a set up there...

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Monitoring the environmental controls and plasma flows to the mission pods, as Colonists enter, from Bridge Eng1 Console::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
SO:  Oh!  Ah!, a joke, the concept completely escapes me, my apologies Lieutenant!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
TO: Lieutenant, if you need any assistance with the colonist supervision... ::nods::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CIV:  Thank you Sir, ::nods in return::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
All: The Colonists do seem pretty congenial, more so than has been my experience. 

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Going through a file the Starbase sent alone with the colonists.  It contains the names and other information on all that are coming on board.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, Security Teams advise that Colonists are moving through the ship to their mission pods without incident, there have been a couple that have wandered away from the groups, but they have been retrieved and are back with their groups.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Always a few stray lambs.

ACTION: 45 minutes later, the colonists are all aboard and have settled in enough that the ship is ready to depart.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
::does some previous checking to departure.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Captain, Commander Hull was correct, Security teams are reporting all Colonists are accounted for, and all are in their Mission Pods.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Have they finished filling our Cargo Bays with their supplies?

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Cargo Doors are being secured Sir!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Setting Long Range Sensors on our route to ensure there are no anomalies.::  CO/ All: Sensors show clear sailing between here and New Cauldron as far as can be detected.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Sir!  Starbase Cargo Master advises that loading operations have completed, I show all cargo doors secure Sir!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Then I guess there's no reason to stick around.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  No Sir!  Ship is ready for departure.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Lieutenant Alvarado: Set a course for New Cauldron and engage at warp 6.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
CO: Aye, sir. Course laid in... making final adjustment... Engaging warp 6.. now..

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Long range sensors Captain, are clear ahead.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::watches the main screen::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: ETA to New Cauldron at present speed, Mister Alvarado.

FCO_Lt_Alvarado says:
CO: ::checks the nav console:: Sir, at present speed, 44 hours 58 minutes to destination.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Captain, Friendly ships ahead are a few trading vessels, one travelling from Betazed to Cardassia, and one leaving New Cauldron for Cardassia, The Etrassa and the Longhaul, are their names.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
*Mission pods*: Colonists: This is Captain Daniels, on behalf of myself and my crew we wanted to welcome you aboard the USS Cherokee.  We will be reaching New Cauldron in a little less than two days.  We hope you all will enjoy your stay with us.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Why would anyone want to go to Cardassia?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  I'm not sure Sir!  Their morning coffee is fish juice!

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  ...and it's hot!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: I happen to like fish juice.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Hot even?  No thank you!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Fine you can have my share.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO/TO:  I would agree, hot fish juice is NO reason to head for Cardassia!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Let's plan a small reception for the leaders of this group in Seven Forward.  We can’t be in both pods at once.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Sir, their Cargo includes all sources of trade goods.
