Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::exiting the ready room and making his way to the command chair::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: USS Claymore approaches the edge of Chuna System and all is well...for now.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::  Looks over his PADD, sitting in his seat on the bridge.::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::at the helm, very nervous - he didn't feel this awkward at the Academy, that's for sure::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::On the bridge, prepping his team, via comm::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::at the OPS station on the bridge going over a few last things with Lt. Grey.::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::lounging about in the TIC, fiddling with the little toy Kanedas::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::notes their current position::  CO: We're approaching the Chuna System, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: I have my three engineering teams standing by.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::eases down in the command chair and crosses his legs, breathing slowly and evenly to keep his cool:: FCO: Understood. Take us out of warp at the outer marker and make for orbit at one half impulse.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::in the TIC with the CAG, signing a padd from a yeoman, and thanks her for her help::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::frantically looks for the sequence of buttons to withdraw the ship from warp; after several seconds of panic, he remembers and enters them::  CO:  ::breathes out::  Aye, sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged Commander.  I have most of the supplies I think we might need ready as well.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shifts a bit in his seat as the ship drops out of warp, the starlines snapping back to pinpricks and a jewel-like globe spinning in the black:: FCO: Set course for Chuna IV, one half impulse.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Leans over to the Captain.::  CO: Sir I would suggest we spend some time once I'm back from the planet to talk.  We have not had one of our scheduled sessions in a few days.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::brings the ship to one-half impulse as ordered, and prepares to enter a low orbit once they arrive at Chuna Prime::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*CTO*: Is Sojourner in orbit?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: It's these 'easy' assignments that always lead to trouble ::smile::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::glances at Renor, suggesting he's busy::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::still looking at the model in his hand:: CTO: Why do we still use these bloody miniatures?  We can create matter from pure energy, you think we'd be able to do better than this.  ::holds it up for emphasis::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Aye Commander.  We can only be so prepared.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::scratches head, then stares at the console for several moments, watching the computer track their relative distance to Chuna IV::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::watching sensors begins to get info on the system.:: CO: Sir The Chuna system is 6 planets all in close orbit of a yellow star.  Chuna Prime seems to be the 4th planet.  It has 2 moons.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Notes the Captains response to to his session sets a reminder to follow up once he's back on the Claymore.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: The system itself has no gas giants or asteroid fields that I can detect on sensors.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*CO*: Yes, captain. I have the Sojourner on sensors over the planet. CAG: You're playing with a model from the display case in the conference room. One of the gamma-shift crewmen brought it here by mistake.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*CTO* Acknowledged, Center. Bridge Out.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::smiles over at the operations station:: OPS: Now that we know everything is where it's supposed to be, hail Sojourner.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::continues monitoring sensors and looks up briefly at the CO.::  CO:  Aye sir.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::throws it over his shoulder:: CTO: Well you still see my point.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::leans back in the chair, taking this one by the numbers::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir I am also getting that Chuna-IV is a temperate world with what appears to be green jungles and only a few major cities.  It is about 23% ocean and has small polar caps.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::continues to stare at the console, hoping to catch the exact moment they arrive at their destination::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::watches the model sail up and over the CAG's shoulder, then crashes in pieces on the floor:: CAG: I take it you are not...superstitious?
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::monitors sensors, readind over the scientific data on Chuna-IV in particular and making sure of the setup of the probes::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Opens a comm channel to the Sojourner.::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::looks up briefly towards the view screen, then back down to his console; he tries to calculate the estimated time of arrival, thinking for some reason that this is taking too long at their current speed::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: OPS: Lots of surface strata then. ::turns his chair around to seek out Woody:: CEO: There might be some kind of natural formation down there you can use, with all of that exposed continent. We'll get the ariel records of the surface to look for likely spots.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*COM: Sojurner*:  This is the USS Claymore.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sees the yeoman he just dismissed stop in her tracks to look at the shattered model, she grumbles and scowls at the CAG, and then goes to grab something to clean up the small mess::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::shrugs:: CTO: I never say the c-word, but apart from that no.  Fate and superstition are just words people use to make excuses for their mistakes.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::scans:: CO: Aye, I'll take a look at it
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir it seems that technology-wise, they are roughly equivalent to the mid 22nd century Earth.
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM: Claymore: This is  Captian Smith, Claymore.  What can we do for you?  Need to borrow a shuttle or two?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CAG: I agree... ::looks at the yeoman walk away after the model is cleaned up:: ...there is no such thing as luck on the battlefield. ::turns back to the large holographic region map on the center table of the TIC::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Puts the incoming message on view.::  CO: Sir Captain Smith from the Sojourner is hailing us putting it on view screen now.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits up at the appearanceon the screen:: COM Sojourner: Greetings, Captain. We're just calling to inform you that we're here and ready to commence operation. We'll be moving into equatorial orbit to deposit our expeditionary near your groups and we'll deploy our fighters. Do you have anywhere special you'd like them, Captain?
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::his attention is diverted to the viewer, though not before his calculations put their arrival in orbit at about five minutes::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::temporarily mutes the com and whispers over to T'Shara:: OPS: Call the TIC. Ask Lieutenant Kizlev to contact the Amenti group and find out where they are. Let them know we're sending down our Wing.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Glances at the viewer momentarily as she continues monitoring sensors.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Nods to the Captain.::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::leans back on a counter:: CTO: Oh, I'm not sure about that.  Just can't rely on it, is all.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
*CTO*: Will you be deploying the probes per the specifications I outlined?
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::makes a very minor correction to their flight path, adjusting so it is easier for the Claymore to take the low orbit that had been discussed previously::
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM:Claymore: You guys are the big guns, here, Cap.  You're in charge.  You tell me where you want my boats.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CAG: True...just as one cannot trust their life to a weapon, either. ::turns to Rhianna:: *SO*: Everything is pre-programmed and set. We just need the captain's word now. Are you nervous?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CTO*:  Lieutenant the Captain wants you to find out the location of the Amenti group at this time.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Once the subterranean probes are in place, it will definitely give a detailed perspective.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::frowns, wishing Sojourner had already gotten their programs running:: COM Sojourner: I'm assuming the rural populace have been moving toward the cities in anticipation. Lets put a team in each city. We'll contact the Chuna authorities and clear it first.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::clears his throat quick so he doesn't revert back to himself at age 15::  CO: Approaching Chuna IV, sir.  Entering low orbit now..
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS/SO: Good. I'm looking for a place to hide these people, there is a large mountain range on the southern ege of the southernmost continent, it looks to be our best bet for keeping these folks out of trouble.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks forward:: FCO: Very good, Ensign. maintain orbit and open bow and rear doors. Inform the flight bay to prepare for launches.
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM:Claymore: I'm not sure if you've checked your sensors, Cap', but I'm not seein' any population movement at all.  You might want to contact their Prime Minister and see what's goin' on.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*OPS*: Understood, bridge. We're searching with LRS at this time, but we must also assume the worst.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  Sounds fine.  If anything it will give a good location to post long range sensor arrays.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
CO: ::perhaps a little more assertively than necessary::  Aye, sir.   ::acesses LCARS and engages the doors as ordered::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant let's hope your wrong.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::narrows his eyes:: COM Sojourner: You're joking.... ::exhales exasperatedly:: Standby Sojourner. We'll let you know what we find.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Calls up the data Commander Hayward had found.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: I agree.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::also sends a brief text message to the flight bay informing them of their arrival at Chuna IV::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Close the channel to Sojourner and hail the surface.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::looks at the data to which Commander Hayward is referring.::  CEO: Aye I think you are right and that will be our best location to keep them safe.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
 CNS/OPS/SO: Is the transport itself that may be a problem. OPS: How mobile are the concentrations of people staying, and where are they located?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::looks at his fellow officers in the TIC:: CAG/*SO*: Do either of you think we have good reason to trust the Amenti? Something about this does not feel right...
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Closes the comm channel with the Sojourner and attempts to hail the surface.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::opens hailing frequency to the surface.::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  From the looks of it there is going to be a wide range of temperature variations.  We will have to ensure that enviormental exposure enclosures are setup and available for those staying.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::again accesses his console, tryign to draw up the plotting new for the deployment of the sensor buoys; he's trying his hardest to stay ahead of the game, just in case...::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO: Direct dorsal sensors to the capitol city, Lieutenant. Let's see what they're doing.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::takes a deep breath::  *CTO*:  Not in my estimation, no.  Pay attention to whom they trade heavily with.  I would be cautious around the Amenti.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: My people can handle the environmental concerns, we have some experiance in that area.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::sees a light blinking and taps a button on the console in front of him:: CTO: We don't have good reason to distrust the Amenti.  I'll stick with the fact that they're Federation members and trust that they're with the good guys.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Prime Minister Sydo answers the Claymore's hail.  He is very large, pudgy, and has short black and white fur all over.  He's clothed in a flowing crimson robe.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Checking that information now Commander.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::gesturing the the once-blinking light::  CTO: Oh, we've arrived at Chuna IV it seems.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
;:nods:: OPS: It's a lot to take into account.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Stands and walks over to Engineering Console.::  CEO:  I also see a potential for avalaches in two locations.  Lets ensure we bring some noise makers to bring them down before we move people.  I'd also like your team to show them how to clear the areas every few months.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir we are receiving a hail from Prime Minister Sydo.   Putting it on screen now.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::takes a quick glance at the viewer again, wondering if he should buy himself a robe like that too; actually, he probably spends a little too much time thinking about wearing a robe in his off-duty time - finally, he shakes his head and goes back to the buoys::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks the Prime Minister over well, then returns to her scans::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::stands at the appearance on the screen out of respect:: COM Chuna: Greetings. I am Captain Daylan Atlas of the Federation Starship Claymore. We're here to assist with your evacuation, Prime Minister.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CAG: We have indeed, major. Are your wings ready to deploy?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Shouldn't be too much of a problem. They had similar devices on old earth, in ski areas. They were called "avelaunchers"
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::looks up at the view screen and back to her scans.::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  Other than that it looks like a good location with enough terrain to hide a lot of people for a good long time.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::carefully looks over the topography reports::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CTO: Ready and waiting for the order.  I'll have a reserve squadron on-board left up of the inactive pilots and the extra Kanedas we picked up from the Dirk, but we shouldn't need them.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  Not a spa resort by any stretch, but it will do.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: A little chilly if you ask me.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::notes that more or less all of the coordinates within the plotting new are pre-determined, so all he really needs to do is readjust from their current position; a lot of the buoy deployment just seems autonomous::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  Agreed Commander.  Yet another away mission to bring out the fuzzy gloves.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::shivers a bit at the thought of going down to the cold.  Vulcans do not like the cold.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CNS/CEO: I will make sure our cold weather gear is ready to go as well.
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan: ::raises two fluffy eyebrows::  Evacuation, Captain?  To what, exactly are you referring?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::thinks about the SO and CAG's words, and mentally compartmentalizes them for another day, and another personal log...:: CAG: I'm hoping that we won't. I want to get in and get out. That's where the speed of our ground forces comes in. ::taps his combadge:: *Chief Merlose*: Standby to commence the operation. Time will be of the utmost essence.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::again messages the Flight Bay, alerting them of their current position and the change they'll be making once the expeditionary teams and fighter craft depart the ship::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: It would seem that the population distribution is 85% rural.  There are towns and villages in the jungle areas and 15% is urban.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain, so far the inhabitants appear to be carrying out their normal routine.  There is no indication by their behaviour or emotions that anything significantly different is occuring.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: Thats going to make our job a little harder, I was hoping they would be clustered togehter a little more. We'll juts have to make do.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Prime Ministers comment.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::opens his mouth to say something and glances briefly and incredulously at Jakiel before turning to face the screen:: COM Sydo: Forgive me, Prime Minister. I was informed that the Chuna had accepted an offer for evacuation from the Amenti. There's a conflict with the Synod and we're trying to move your people out of harm's way.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO: Aye as we have gotten good at as of late Commander.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::monitors their low orbit, ensuring that is has not degraded at all::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
<Merlose> *CTO*: Standing by, lieutenant. Do we have orbital support from our Amenti friends?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  I think I've found a location in the general area to land a few shuttles.  We might be able to move some via shuttles and use the transporters for others,  Beyond that we may need ground crew to help ensure safe routes.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::wonders what the holdup is, having expected the launch order some time ago::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::finds the Chuna's lack of concern very odd after what happened to the Delphyne knowing surely that the populace was told of the attack and particulars, and yet they behave as they are?::
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan:  ::waves a massive and furry four fingered paw at the viewscreen::  Oh, yes, that, indeed.  ::picks up something green and leafy and begins chewing on it::  We have changed our minds, you see.  We will no longer run form our homes at the first hit of trouble.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS/OPS: We'll need to work together to coordinate it.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*Merlose*: It does not appear so. We'll have to stay on our toes and double-time it if this will be Starfleet-only. Kizlev out. CAG: We should have been given a go-order by now...
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::looks at the viewer again and listens in, suddenly realizing the misunderstanding that seems to have developed between Chuna IV and Daylan::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::frowns, wondering if leafy and naive go well together on a sandwich for the Prime Minister's sake::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::finds the giant furball of a Prime Minister's lack of concern in calling an attack on a starship merely a 'hint' of danger massively naive::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CTO: Let's see what went wrong THIS time.  ::flips a switch to pipe in the Claymore's bridge COM traffic down to the TIC::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS:  Aye.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  If we can get a shuttle down there we can set up a temporary staging area.  That should help process incoming shuttles and move people relitivly quick.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::tries to figure out how to approach this:: COM Sydo: Respectfully, we're here to help you move for your own safety. The Synod of the Sanctum have been aggressive lately. They've attacked several worlds. Given Chuna's history of getting caught in the crossfire we're trying to safeguard you. The Amenti have already set up a safe location for your
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
people, and those that choose to stay we're prepared to assist in shoring up their shelter.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS/OPS: Sounds like a good plan.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::glances briefly at the flight officer sensing a mutual feeling about the Prime Minister::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::brings up a real-time text transcript of the current comm on the bridge, and reads what they've missed while they listen to the latest::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::still watching the fatso on the screen, thinking his younger brother had a teddy bear that looked a lot like him growing up::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS: Aye Renor that sounds like it might work or at least a good start.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  Just keep the shuttles working non-stop like... As you put it like at a ski area.  hmmm.  Yes a ski lift, but with shuttles.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS/OPS: I'll have my teams briefed and ready.
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan: Captain, I am not normally accustomed to repeating myself.  ::more sternly::  My people will not leave this planet nor have their lives further disrupted.  We have do so before and we have been no better off.  The Amenti are not our saviours.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::makes sure the audio feed from the bridge is one-way before speaking:: CAG: The fools. According to their prime minister, they've decided to be patriots and stand their ground. The Chuna are being needlessly reckless...and for what? Honor? Hmph... :: folds his arms as he listens some more::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS:  I will inform the OPS personnel and have them on standby to man the shuttles when we're ready.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  Sounds good.  If that's the plan I can inform the civil leaders and help set-up pickup stations around the city.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::thinks the captain should just wrap this one up and let these people get bolled over if that is their wish::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::notes this rather curt airing of the Chuna's separatism from the Amenti and gives them credit for deciding their own fate...no matter how foolhardy::
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::begins plotting a course out of the system, just in case they can't sort this out::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::still listening:: CTO: If there's one thing I've learned in Starfleet, it's that this universe is full of sodding fools and it's usually our job to help them.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM Sydo: Yes, Prime Minister. I must report this to my superiors. We'll contact you when we've gotten word. Claymore out.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns away from the screen, already feeling tired:: OPS: Contact Sojourner. Instruct her to break orbit and follow us.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::waits until the Prime Minister has finished::  CO: Captain?  A suggestion if I may?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grins and nods with Sirk's words:: CAG: Sometimes, it does no good to help those who do not wish to be helped.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
FCO: Set course to the system perimeter at Warp 3 and await command.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::nods::  CO: Course already laid in, sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::glances at Jakiel:: SO: A moment, Lieutenant. ::walks over to his chair and hits the intercom:: *TIC*: Bridge to TIC. Recall the squadrons.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::adjusts velocity to Warp 3 and prepares to engage, waiting only for Daylan's order::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
COM: Sojourner:  Break orbit and come with us.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS: Looks like our plans are on hold
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::scratches his chin:: CTO: Ah, but that's what makes the Federation so great.  We'll help anyone out, no matter how dense they are.  ::holds up a hand:: *CO*: Squadrons never launched, Captain.  Shall I remove them from launch alert?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  Best laid plans....  ::Renturns to his seat next to Captain Daylan.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS: Aye but at least we have a plan in place if the matter gets cleared up.
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM:OPS: Beggin yer pardon, miss, but wouldn't it be better to leave one of us here, just in case?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::wonder why a Ferengi would know Shakspeare::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::Or be a counselor for that matter::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*COM: Sojourner*:  I'm sorry Sir but that is our current order per Captain Daylan.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods, unnecessarily to the com:: *CAG*: Yes, Major. have them stand down for now. Don't scrub the launch entirely yet.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::looks at the green button on the console, beginning to feel an almost intrinsic urge to press it and get them on their way::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns back to face front:: FCO: Break orbit and lay in course.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM:OPS: Aye.  We'll be along in a jiffy.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir I have instructed the Sojourner to come with us as your request.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::with as little precision as possible, he uses thrusters to thrust the Claymore forward in the direction the planet is rotating and then slingshots the ship out of orbit::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
*COM; Sojourner*:  Acknowledged.  Claymore out.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Inform the team leaders that we're standing down for now. And send a message to Sojourner. I'd like to meet with their captain once we're at the perimeter. We need to contact Command.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
CO: Course laid in, sir.   ::waits to warp out of the system::
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CTO: So that's that then, yeah?  Still should be able to complete our secondary objective while we're out here.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
COM: Sojourner:  Please be advised one we are at the perimeter Captain Daylan would like to meet with you.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CAG: Only if the captain is willing to risk it at this unexpected juncture in the mission.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::eases down in his chair and finally is able to turn his attention back to the science officer:: SO: I'm sorry, Lieutenant. You were saying?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/*CTO*/*CAG*:  Please be advised we are standing down for now.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Would it be prudent to suggest the deployment of the probe net as an advance warning alarm for them at least.  It would not disrupt their lives and can be removed at any time.  If they found attackers coming their way I am sure they would not mind our help at that point.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Without the net, the enemy could come in with little advance warning.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Leans over to the Captain and whispers.:: CO: Sir.  Why are we pulling back?  We have our orders.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::drops the padd he was working on and sits down at his station:: OPS: So much for best laid plans, as the counselor put it.
CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CTO: We're no more danger than we would be if we had gone ahead with our primary mission.  Might as well get something productive out of this trip.
Host Capt_Smith says:
COM:OPS: Just lemme know the time and place, and I'll bring the beer, miss.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes his head first at Rhiana and then takes in the Ferengi too:: CNS/SO: We don't have authority to comb our hair in this system. It isn't Federation territory and we cannot carry out operations in this system without the permission of the Chuna Authority. They're refusing our help. If we're going to help at all we'll have to do it from outside the system.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged, bridge. I'll keep the teams on standby until the end of the shift or further notice. TIC out.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::looking up from her station at the CEO.::  CEO:  Aye but don't give up yet Commander we might still be able to use that plan.
FCO_Ens_Williams says:
::waiting for the order to kick the ship to warp; as it is, they are drifting away from the planet::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
COM: Sojourner:  Aye Captain
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: It would be merely a suggestion for them to consider.  They do seem rather independent, though.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  Sir then we should ask to discuss this with their leaders on the planet surface.  We need to explain the dangers and the fact that we can at least help them set up areas that are safe on their planet for those that wish to stay,  Those are our orders Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CNS: But our orders stop at Chuna territory. I can't defy their sovereignty. Investigate the Chuna. Maybe you can find something we can use to convince them. We can call them again.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
