<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CAPTAIN'S LOG - Supplemental: Half a day after the loss of our ship and we find ourselves in the hands of the very same people who we can't trust. What will become of us?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::standing on the nacelle of their runabout, looking over the heads of the crew, doing a visual headcount for his own purposes::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The crew of the late USS Claymore begins to settle into their not-so-inviting confines aboard the Skree cruiser.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::seated against one of the bulkheads, relaxing for just a minute or so::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::overseeing the construction of temporary division of space, setting the command staff away from the enlisted, giving the captain his own quarters, while making do with the enlisted::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Continues his walk through the cargo bay talking with crewmen.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::finishes a new check up on Crash, then stands and looks around to see if she can spot Durrigan or T'Shara... whichever she can spot first::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Climbs up the runabout and carefully makes her way toward her brother.  Sits down.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::takes his tricorder in his left hand and tosses it up in the air a little and catches it, then repeats::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::speaks with Ensign Rasmir, getting the latest report, nodding his head while looking around the Skree hangar bay::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::walks over to Davis:: EO: See to it that the shuttles and the runbabout are in good shape, they're the only 'ships' we have to work on.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::catches the tricorder and holds it::  CEO:  Aye, sir.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
::sitting at the rear access to a shuttle, nibbling on a ration::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::snaps up to feet quick, fighting off the early stage of a dead leg and heading towards the runabout::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::wishes she was a little taller so she could see above all the heads::  CTO: Just got another report in about that argument with the shower.  You would think they had better things to worry about.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::comes up with 484, upset at that number but unable to change it now as he steps down from the nacelle::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Any changes?
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
::makes his round, working around the cargo hold to keep track of provisions::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks away from where Crewman Webber and the group was and begins checking on some others to see what they may need while heading to the triage area.::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
<Ensign Rasmir> CTO: It is remarkably calm, Commander, considering that some of this crew knows how the Skree treated the Claymore last time.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over at Eris as he files the number in a pad he liberated from one of the shuttles:: CSO: None that are good. How are your people?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::accesses the aft console on the runabout and opens its aft hatch, then walks in::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: A teal light above the far door begins to flash rapidly.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::PADD, tricorder and wand in hands, she gives a few instructions to the nurses::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::Looks over at the light::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns to Rhianna:: TO/Rasmir: So much for our 'evolved sensibilities', neh? Honestly, I do not like being in the dark, even by those who rescue us.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO: Fine. There is... :: pauses as something catches her eyes and turns toward the flashing light.::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
::spots the CMO:: CMO: Doctor, how are the medical supplies holding up?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::slumps down at the console, then taps his fingers against the console as he considers his options::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Continues his discussion with the crewmen and notices the flashing light.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::sits back for a second::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::Argos barks at the light and she turns to see what is bothering him as she sees the blue tint strobe off the walls::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::lifts a supply box and as she stands she sees a flashing light above and stops.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::takes his tricorder and scans in the direction of the light::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::initiates a level one diagnostic of the propulsion systems first::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks up as he catches sight of the light and points up at it:: TO: Either that indicates a door will open, or they intend to flood this bay again...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks up:: OPS: As it could be expected. We're getting low on painkillers but they won't be requiring them for much longer... ::bites her lower lip:: I do have something to ask, though.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::follows her eyes:: CSO: Visitors, maybe? ::moves toward it a bit, holding his hand back:: Stay back.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::gestures to the security officer:: TO: Rhianna.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CMO: Oh? ::looks only slightly exhausted::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::ties in to the onboard computers of the shuttles and initiates level 1 diagnostics on their engines as well, figuring this will be the starting point::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Stands up, but stays where she is.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::sets the box down and makes her way towards the Captain and the door.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The light stops as the heavy double doors part to allow five Skree, complete with black uniforms and black tinted helmets, to enter the cargo bay.  One Skree, a bit shorter than the others, wears a purple insignia.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::routes all diagnostics to the console to his left, then gets up::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
Rasmir: Get everyone as close to the lifepods and shuttles as you can. Have everyone ready to board them immediately if we have to. Go.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::leans over slightly to pat Argos' furry chest::  Argos:  Shhhh...we know.  Good boy for telling us.  CTO: I do not see water yet, so I will hope for the former.  ::raises an eyebrow.  Hears the Captain and takes a few steps over to him::  CO:  Yessir?  ::looks at the door for a second::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::suppresses a groan, knowing this will be the make or break meeting::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
OPS: While it's not urgent, at least two officers will require surgery. We do have the equipment, but we do not have a sterile field generator. ::sighs:: I'm tired too ::rubs the back of her neck:: I guess this is my welcome aboard, Commander ::smiles sadly::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Four Skree fan out along the bulkhead on either side of the double doors, holding large rifle-like weapons.  The fifth heads for the Starfleet runabout at a quick pace.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::not slowing in his stride, spotting T'Shara heading to join them but knows she'll catch up:: TO: Come with us. All: Everyone else, stay back.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  We have visitors...finally.  Do you know what those uniforms signify?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watching curiously::  CO: Might be polite to get down and meet them.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::while the diagnostics are running, he walks back to the aft part of the runabout and approaches the replicator::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::makes no hostile moves, simply keeps his eyes on the arms of the Skree entering the bay::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::wishes he had a phaser, like it would do any good::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CMO: No formality necessary, I'll speak to the Captain and see if he can add the field generators to our request manifest
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Holds his hand up to stop the crewman from continuing his report and stands as the Skree come in.::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::tenses slightly as she sees the Skree with the weapons::  CO:  Yessir.  ::falls in behind the Captain and his Exec::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::hears as everyone goes quiet around them, it seems:: OPS: What...? ::she spots the Skree:: Oh. I guess you should go greet our hosts. And thank you.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::gives Kizlev and then Rasmir a look and a nod, knowing Rasmir will take over for her::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::kneels down and pops open the hatch below the replicator console, scanning the interior with his tricorder::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Moves back down to the deck and slips into the shuttle.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks a little faster knowing she still has a phaser on her side and catches up to the Captain, standing next to him.::  Self: I don't like the looks of this.  ::seeing one of them head to the runabout.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
ALL: ::except CO/XO/TO:: Everyone standby close to your designated vehicles and await further orders.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::stops a ways from the Skree, keeping his posture straight but not too rigid::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Inside, activates passive scans and just watches.::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CMO: Of course Doctor. :: forces a small, perhaps friendly smile, and makes his way to a better "seat" to observe the Captain::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::remains where he is::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::moves the tricorder from right to left, using it to check the power flow to the unit first::
Host Sklogg says:
::sees the insignia of a Starfleet Captain and heads directly to him::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
:: still reviewing the small PADD in his hand, checking the requested supplies manifest while occasionally sneaking a glance at the captain::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::outwardly remains calm and relaxed, refraining from looking around except what would be considered casual::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::waves at the man as he turns around to leave, then decides to check on Crewman Webber::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks up a bit the Skree::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::taps the blue button on his tricorder display and changes the scan to check ODN integrity next, again moving the tricorder laterally::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::expectant::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::goes over to the CEO, keeping watch over his shoulder at the Captain and his entourage:: CEO: Commander, can you get a layout of this ship we're in?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Kneels down next to the crewmen and remembers the type 1 phaser he had acquired from the bridge locker and placed in his boot.::
Host Sklogg says:
Daylan: You must be Captain Daylan of Starfleet.  ::careful to not use the name of his former ship::  I am Sklogg. I am the Skree ambassador to the Federation.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::notices the one Skree coming towards them and waits.::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::hears Argos growl under his breath.  Nonchalantly looks the Skree over::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Self:  I hope to hell this goes well.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: I've got a pretty good idea of how it's laid out. 
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::notes the ODN relays and EPS taps have experienced a sharp spike in the number of requests through the replicator in the last 72 hours, which is not unexpected::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
:: notices the CTO and the CEO gathered and begins to move slowly towards them::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Good.  Is there a way we can access any power junctions to this bay, or maybe exploit to escape this bay if we have to?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks past the Skree at his guards and then to the ambassador:: Sklogg: Greetings, Ambassador. It is an honor to meet you on behalf of the Federation. I only wish it were under better circumstances.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Checks to make sure things are being recorded.  Who knows, it might end up historical... on the good end of things.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: But it won't help. The ship was built for swimming, not bipeds like us walking. We'd be escaping into a water-filled compartment if we tried. There are very few areas that are not filled with water.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::gets up and goes to the other side of the aft area, pulling up a small drawer filled with several supplies; he pulls out an EPS reinforcer::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::feels mightily uncomfortable being at the dubious mercy of these formidable Skree::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: As for power, there are ten or so right here in the bay.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
::overhears the CEO as he approaches:: CEO, CTO: And assuming you could find somewhere to go, I'm sure they have transporter dampeners covering the bay.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::being so close to this Skree, she 'touches' whom it is to 'test' if this Skree can actually 'block' her::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::kneels back down and disables the replicator entirely::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CTO: Guys, hate to say it, but we're screwed. We are at the mercy of our 'hosts'.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: I was thinking more along the lines of getting back out to space... ::turns to the new OPS officer:: OPS: I'm never one to simply accept being stuck in a situation without an escape plan.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CEO, CTO: Being Space-borne again would be useless without a likely plan to disable this vessels tactical and propulsion systems.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO/OPS: Believe me, I want to be able to trust them as much as anyone in our position, but you never know...
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: In what? The shuttles and the runabout won't hold us all, and the pods are now useless.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CEO,CTO: Perhaps we should focus on that?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::reaches in with his right hand and pulls the primary EPS line from the local tap, or at least what looks like the tap; he shrugs::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::comforted the nurses did a good job on Webber, she moves on to the next patient::
Host Sklogg says:
::turns his head quickly towards the TO, then back just as quickly to Daylan::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::reaches in with left hand this time and looks to attach the reinforcer, not wanting to blow out this replicator given their predicament::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO/OPS: I believe the phrase is, 'play it by ear'? We'll have to do so for now. But please, gentlemen, we need a 'backdoor' out of here just in case. ::glances at them both, then goes over to the CSO::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: Captain, please inform your crew that we consider it very impolite for telepaths to scan us without express permission.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: I'll think about it, but like I said....we are at their mercy
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durrigan says:
CEO: I've been working on a request manifest, sir.  In case these Skree are friendly, they might as well make themselves helpful as well.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::stands quietly watching his posture looks back at the crew.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::notices the shift in helmet but is uncertain of the meaning of it until the ambassador speaks:: Sklogg: My sincerest apologies, Ambassador. An oversight. ::glances sideways at Rhianna reprovingly:: She won't do it again.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::her eyes only imperceptibly open wider because of the Skree's reaction and she resists the impulse to smile, pleased, but still puzzled.  Looks at T'Shara as if she had not noticed the Skree's motion::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Makes a note in the computer that the Skree are telepaths or tele-sensitive::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::enters the CSO's shuttle:: CSO: Lieutenant, do you have something for me?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::pulls the reinforcer, or regulator, from the EPS cable to make sure it is connected securely::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: Good work. We'll have to see if the respond to Daylan
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks over her shoulder::  CTO: Do I have something for you?  Such as...?
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks back at the Skree and makes a slight bow:: Sklogg:  My apology.  It was only a 'touch', natural for my kind.  It will not happen again.
Host Sklogg says:
CO: Very well.  In any case, I must apologize as well for my delay in speaking with you.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: Is there anything specific Engineering would request for the manifest?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::reattaches the cable to the tap, then types in the reactivation sequence to resume normal power to the replicator::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::looks over at Rhianna and then focuses back on Sklogg.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::taken aback:: OPS: I can give you a laundry list as long as my arm. ::grins::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::scans the replicator again with the tricorder one last time::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: We had to make some hasty engineering changes to the outside of the bay, you see.  For starters, we had to build a waterlock on the entry doors.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::smiles, though half-heartedly:: CSO: Information we can use to better understand our foe--um, I mean hosts.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
::Cracks a momentary smile:: CEO: Only the essentials please, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::pulls his attention reluctantly from Rhianna and back to Sklogg:: Sklogg: No apology necessary, Ambassador. We are grateful for the efforts you are going to for our benefit. Might I enquire as to how you happened upon us?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods after witnessing no changes, and he closes the access panel and gets up to his feet again::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: Other than what we have already listed, the only thing I have learned so far is that they are either telepathic or tele-sensitive.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: I'll make a list. You know, I've been in Starfleet for a long time ::looks down:: I've never had to abandon ship. I feel lost.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::raises an eyebrow and twitches his left antenna:: CSO: Oh? What is 'tele-sensitive'?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: I am only using a passive scan as well as recording.  We are guests.  'Twould be rude, not to mention could be misconstrued, to use anything else.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: Be glad it was during peacetime... the only time a man should leave his dying ship, and not fear a far worse fate. ::rubs the scars covering his neck::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: Tele-sensitive means you do not have telepathic ability, but you know when someone touches your mind.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: I am. But I'm more than ready to be back on a Federation ship.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::sits back down at the console and watches the end of the diagnostic::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: Oh... there is one other thing.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: All in good time, as long as we're left to ourselves I can not complain.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::folds his arms in thought:: CSO: Does that include light telepathic activity, such as sensing their emotions?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::notes a few minor problems with the shuttles, and a non-functional power coupling in the port nacelle of the runabout::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::stops himself:: CSO: I'm sorry, go ahead.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: It worries me that there first contact with us involved arming themselves
Host Sklogg says:
CO: We are the vessel that was to rendezvous with you on your mission, Captain.  Our sensors detected your life pods as we neared the area.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::exits the shuttle and turns right, then kneels down beside the port nacelle::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: They are as wary as we are, do not fear your captor, it only adds to their advantage
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: It could.  Telepathy is as varied as the races. :: Turns back to her screen and pulls up a previous scan::  If you look at this, you will notice surrounding the uniforms, there is a heat signature, suggesting they are emitting some form of energy.  What, I cannot tell for certain, due to either blocking or my passive scans.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: You weren't aboard the last time we encountered the Skree. They kicked our asses. We lost two thirds of the crew. ::despondent::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::careful not to nod, uncertain of its meaning to the alien species:: Sklogg: I understand. We were unaware that our pods would be so easily detected at that range. Fortunately for us, Skree technology has such abilities. ::gestures behind him:: My crew has their immediate needs met, but if I could ensure that they can expect speedy transport to a friendly world or notification of Federation Authorities to retrieve us, I think it would put their minds at ease.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: This old man has spent a good deal of time at the hands of a less then benevolent master, be glad they're not Jem'Hadar right? ::tries to smile, but his stone face rebuts the attempt::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks over the CSO's shoulder at the console:: CSO: Interesting...is this energy hazardous to other lifeforms?
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::finds it very interesting that the Skree have the ability to 'know' empathic sensing, having never encountered that before, but is satisfied that they cannot 'read' the Claymore crew::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::feels along the under side of the nacelle, quickly feeling a slight crack between plates; he applies pressure and separates the panel, looking to take hull/outer part of the nacelle off::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::bemused:: OPS: I can only imagine
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: I do not believe so... at least not in short exposure.  I would need to know more before I could honestly answer that.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: How's your staff holding up? I have to say mine are a little on edge after the Commander's passing
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::pops off the rest of the casing towards the aft end of the nacelle, revealing the damaged power coupling; it is pretty well fried from the exterior view anyway::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: Everyone's on edge, expecting a relief ship to arrive anytime. I didn't have the heart to tell them that we may be here for longer than we'd like. Morale is low. My crew wasn't meant to be idle, yet idle we are
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shifts her stance and Argos shuffles over a little before settling in a sit position::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CSO: Very well. Keep searching as best you can, Lieutenant. Please excuse me. ::exits the shuttle to go meet up with the CNS::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watches him go and his quick exit.  Shrugs and turns back to being an observer and just in case something were to go wrong... ::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::twists the coupling to the right and then jerks up sharply, releasing it from its socket and causing a few particles of the coupling to drop out on to the deck::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::feels a little restless not being able to communicate with Rasmir or Kizlev and see what is happening behind them with the other Skree officers::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Slightly relieved that the Skree meeting is going well and turns back to talk with the crewmen.::  ENS_Tek:  Sorry, Ensign, please continue.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::finishes the round quicker than expected, and looks back at the area where the Skree ambassador is talking to her brother::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: Your government has already been informed and we are en route to your Starbase 218...or was it 214?   It should take us approximately 5 of your days to reach that base.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::goes over to the CNS, but sees he's in conversation with an ensign, then turns back to the Skree, studies them for a brief moment, then goes over to where the CMO is::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::tosses the coupling on to the deck - it is worthless::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: In the meantime, we shall extend anything you request that is within our power.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::walks back into the runabout::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::keeps her equipment in her hands, but crosses her arms as she witnesses the meeting from a more than safe distance::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::suddenly has a thought:: OPS: I'll be back with you in a moment. ::heads toward the shuttle Davis is working on::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: As you have already learned, there are several power taps throughout the bay for your use.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::immediately relieved:: Sklogg: Thank you, Ambassador. As I said, our immediate needs are met, though we are somewhat short on comfortable housing and bedding. Will my crew have the opportunity to tour your vessel? I know many of them would welcome the chance.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::approaches the replicator and recalibrates it for material items rather than food and drink::
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
CEO: Of course, Commander ::attempts to push out the sentence before Hayward turns his back and is gone::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: Unfortunately, though, your crew is restricted to this bay ::gestures:: for obvious reasons.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Going home... it all seemed so easy.  'Twould be nice for a change for something to be relatively so.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::approaches Senn Eos:: CMO: Doctor, any thoughts about our Skree hosts?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::approaches Davis:: EO: Mister Davis, a minute of your time. In the shuttle, where it's...quiet
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::searches LCARS for the replicator program for simple engineering tools and devices and tries to find the power coupling required::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::startled by Hayward, perhaps a little more focused on the task than he thought he was::  CEO:  Yes sir, of course.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::lowers her voice:: CTO: I have many. ::looks up at him:: But I'll spare you my personal fears.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::gestures for Hayward to come into the runabout with him::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Listens to Ensign Tek discuss his current fears of the situation and tries to comfort him.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::bows his head slightly in assent:: Sklogg: Of course. ::looks back up:: In the meantime, might I present Lieutenant Jakiel, my chief of security, whom you have already met, and Commander T'Shara, my executive officer. Is there anything we can do for the Skree while we are your... guests?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: We need to create a passive dampening shield around the shuttles and the Runabout. Power down all systems, except those that are needed for launch. I don't want to give the Skree anything, and with luck we won't have to. Understood?
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods politely to the Skree::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::blinks, and turns to glance over towards the Skree again:: CMO: Fears?
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::frowns slightly, but manages to mask his expression back to neutral again::  CEO: Yes, sir.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: You weren't aboard when it happened, but the Skree have caused a considerable amount of death on the Claymore. I'd hate to just hand over anything vital to the Federation's security.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
::sitting on the shuttle's nacelle, trying to keep calm, the bay getting a little tight for his liking::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::wonders if their Skree host caught Daylan's pause before the word 'guest' and sincerely hopes not::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::bites her lower lip:: CTO: I did something I shouldn't. And I'll tell you all about it... as soon as we're out of here ::looks at the Skree:: They can be brutal. They always, always, have a hidden agenda. ::pauses:: It may include us, or not. That is the question.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::starts to nod and then stops, not wanting to do the wrong thing.  She stands with an eyebrow raised a bit.::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods, not completely understanding, but also experienced enough at this point to know that he doesn't have to understand::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods, narrowing his eyes at the Skree:: CMO: I'm used to dealing with other people and their agendas. ::keeps his voice a touch lower:: Your sister tells me about a certain kind of warm energy they emit from their bodies. Obviously they are no ordinary humanoid fish?
Host Sklogg says:
::bends slightly in acknowledgement of the crewmembers::  CO: Your every material need shall be met, Captain.  In your current situation, however, I doubt there is much you can do for us.  I will be back later for further discussions.  I am at your service for the duration of your stay.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: I'm going to speak with the captain when I have a chance. We'll need to delete all command codes for all of our vessels. Create false ones in case the Skree come nosing around.
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
CEO:  Let me just get this power coupling replaced and recalibrate the warp coils on one of the shuttles and I can get right on it; it shouldn't take too long at all.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Sklogg: That is very generous. Thank you again. And if any additional communiqués are received from Starfleet in the interim?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Wishes she could ask her brother if she could just meet up with them and ask questions to answer all the unanswered ones.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Proceed. I'm going to see how negotiations are going
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::nods again::  CEO:  Aye, sir.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::frowns:: CTO: That's interesting. Could we approach them? I'll scan you... ::her eyes point at the Skree, meaning she'll scan them:: in proximity.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::exits the craft, back into the bay::
EO_LtCmdr_Davis says:
::goes back to the replicator and continues searching for the appropriate program::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: You will be allowed to receive them unimpeded through your own vessels.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head:: CMO: No, but scan the captain and his entourage the moment they return. Hopefully you'll pick up a trace of the energy particles or waves on them.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
::overhears the Sklogg ambassador and the Captain, and decides to go back to the shuttle and check the channels::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods:: CTO: All right. And for the record, I've scanned them before, and never seen anything like what you describe.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::bows slightly again:: Sklogg: Most generous. I fear we may need to accept your hospitality. My first officer should be able to provide you a list of our needs in short order. To whom do we deliver them?
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::finds the Skree Ambassador's last comment comforting that they will not hinder communications.  Asks quietly::  XO:  It might be prudent to see if we can send out communication besides receiving?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CTO: So I would guess it's not biological, but mechanical.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::glances at the TO and nods::
Host Sklogg says:
CO: You may transmit your requests through your shuttle's comm system on normal frequencies and the materials will be beamed into the bay as soon as possible.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: A possibility, perhaps. They could be cybernetically enhanced.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::then their communications will be monitored:: Sklogg: That should suit our needs very well then. Thank you for your accommodation Ambassador. And for your time.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::waves her hands in their direction:: CTO: It could be the suits. It's the first time I've seen those... and the belt.
Host Sklogg says:
::turns away from Daylan and his crew, and walks towards the heavy double doors::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::wonders to herself if they will filter their communications or not and makes a mental note to inform the crew to be careful what they say across the comm system.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: Or illegally augmented in some way, at least according to our law, and not their's. But yes, I have been looking at their outfits. I have had experience with body gear in the past. ::eyes the belts in particular:: Personal shield generators...? I wonder...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watching them leave.  That seemed to go well, especially given the concerns from her sister.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CTO: If they are, I'd buy one.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
::dismayed by the still blank comm monitors in the shuttle, wondering why Starfleet wouldn't respond::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::steps out into the crowd, gets a sense that things went well::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::waits as she watches Sklogg head to the doors to leave.::
Host Sklogg says:
::leaves the bay and the four guards follow::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: As would every technician working at Starfleet Tactical. They've been trying to develop similar technology for years, but with little progress.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::exhales and then turns back to the two:: XO: Let's start compiling those lists. ::looks to Rhianna:: We're going to have a talk, but later. For now, you can tell everyone to relax. We're being monitored, but if they wanted to do more than that or make extra demands they would have made them.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::smiles:: CTO: Let's try our darnedest not to steal one.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The teal flashing light returns as the double doors close.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::starts walking towards the Captain, to scan him and the others as requested by Kizlev::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::walks over to the captain::
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yessir, and I agree.  They could do anything they wanted with us, but it would get back to headquarters.  These may be different Skree we are dealing with.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
XO: Aye sir.  I will get with Commander Durigan and see what he has come up with for a list and check also with the CMO and CNS for medical supplies.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns off the sensors and recordings, and then slips off the shuttle, heading to look for her twin.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::watches the Skree exit, and the CMO head over to Daylan, the XO, and TO, to do her medical checks on them:: Self: Let's hope this works... ::folds his arms and leans back against a nearby immobile escape pod::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, We need to talk when you have a moment
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
*XO* Commander, would you mind joining me in the Shuttle, I've got a few things I'd like to go over
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO, XO, TO: Please stay still... this will only take a minute ::opens tricorder and starts waving her wand::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stands as the Skree leaves the cargo bay.::  ENS_Tek:  Thank you I will check back with you later to see how you are doing.  ::Walks over to the rest of the senior officers.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walking back to the group:: TO: They still have the upper hand over us. It doesn't feel any different than the last time we encountered them. ::dismisses her after Eos finishes:: You have your orders.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::comes to a stop for the doctor's scan::  CMO:  Excellent idea.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
::sees Chief Merlose walk up beside him:: Merlose: We don't have much chance of escape if we needed to, right?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
TO: It was the Commander's, actually. ::finishes with Daylan, taps in, follows with T'Shara::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Dept. Heads: The Skree have offered to supply us with what we need. Make your requests to Commander ::tries to figure out the man's name before it comes to him:: Durigan and Commander T'Shara will get it to the Skree.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::waits before heading to the shuttle.::  CMO: Everything okay, Lieutenant?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Dept. Heads: Move lively.
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
<Merlose> ::grimly shakes his head as he watches the CMO perform her scans on the three officers::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Commander on my way.
OPS_Lt_Cmdr_Durigan says:
:: Hears the Captain's announcement with a small bit of disappointment::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
XO: Just a follow up to some scans Eris did, ma'am. ::follows with Jakiel:: We'll compare notes in a minute, but so far, everything's fine.
TO_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods to the Captain and then looks at Kizlev and smiles, hoping the scan might show something::  CMO:  Any luck with those scans?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO, XO, TO: That's it ::closes her tricorder::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Comes up to her sister and quietly waits until she is finished.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Kizlev says:
Merlose: Work with Rasmir and the others. I'm not about to give up on a plan B if we're gonna need it. ::goes over to the TO and CMO::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Nods:: CMO:  Very well, Lieutenant, keep me posted of your findings.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
TO: You're all in perfect health. That is lucky these days ::smiles tiredly::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
XO: I will.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::calls out, raising his voice so it can reach across the space:: All: We are going to be here for a while. We are approximately five days from one of our Starbases. We have some time on our hands so we need to be prepared to deal with them. Start setting up camp.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO: Five very long days.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CMO: If that is all, Doctor, I must tend to some other business.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::sighs:: CSO: I have tricorder data to download wherever you have stored your scans.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::oops:: XO: Yes, of course. You are all free to do... whatever it is you're doing.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Motions her head toward the shuttle behind her.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CMO: Thank you Doctor.
