ARC 18 - In The Town Where I was Born - Mission 7 - SD: 11608.09
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The Claymore continues to orbit the planet, with ten hours until the next solar event.   Science reports that four science probes are ready for launch each having modified shielding to protect against any solar event.  Medical has continued their research and have found that the alien DNA now in each of the crew isn't of known origin. However, it closely matches Commander Damrok's DNA at 83%.
Host SMDrew says:
********************* Resume Mission ****************************
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: Take us to the far side of the system for now, Mr. Williams.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Captain what is the status of the Jarrow and the Okanagan?
Ian_Williams says:
::raises a shrug, then enters the course, bringing engines to half impulse as ship's heading changes::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Stands at tactical, keeping a hard stare at sensor readings::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Sitting in his chair, cross-legged...just couldn't really stand having his feet dangling there, anymore::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::In sickbay, still trying to narrow down her research::
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
CO:  In a word?  Broken.  Jarrow is spaceworthy, but no weapons, and the warp drive is acting up.  Shields are at 90%.  And the ::does air quotes::  special features of the Jarrow have a tendency to made all other systems flakey if you power them up. The Okanagan is in better shape, however, we've got no idea what secrets are hidden away on that thing by Section 31.  Warp drive good up to warp two, shields and weapons at 98 or 99%.  Either of them fly, I wouldn't recommend either of them for combat or other strenuous activities.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Keeps up with the reports coming in from various departments on his PADD, and occasionally looks around the bridge taking in other verbal reports::
Ian_Williams says:
::watches readings scroll across his display, nods once, then gradually brings Claymore to a stop:: CO: Outer edge of the system, captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Given the choice, which vessel would you most recommend taking to the surface?
Ian_Williams says:
::idly, wonders how it is a ship this size doesn't have a junior pilot who could be keeping this particular seat warm::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: Noted, Mr. Williams, hold our position.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head and taps her combadge:: *XO*: Commander, I've completed my preliminary analysis, and I have a few questions for you, if you have a moment.
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
::Looks torn::  CO:  Is neither an option?  If you HAVE to...  I'd say the Okanagan.  At least you have weapons and shields.  But I'd really like more time for the techs to figure out what other goodies are onboard.
Ian_Williams says:
::raises an eyebrow, not for the first time since he met her wondering just what exactly T'Shara thought he was doing::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Lifts his head up and to the right slightly, as one does::  *CMO*:  Certainly.  Would you like me to come to sickbay?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Lieutenant, fire the four probes in equal equatorial orbital distance from one another.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
*XO*: Yes please.  ::Makes a mental note to, with Damrok's authorization, run her results by the ambassadors and Throm as well::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Understood and noted Captain.  But, if we don't have that kind of time then we will do with what we do know and find out along the way.
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
::Shrugs::  CO:  Sure, Captain...  what could go wrong with that?
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Adjusts and verifies the firing spread before firing the science probes, glancing back to the scans after::  Probes away, Captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  ::Hops down off of his chair and makes his way to the port aft turbolift, entering::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: I want you to have your maintenance crew work on the Okanagan. Stop all work on the Jarrow.  I'd like the shields modified to what science has come up with to protect the probes.
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
::Nods::  Aye, Captain.  ::Relays the proper orders to the shuttle bay, ignoring the salty language coming from his DCAG concerning changing priorities::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Turbolift:  Sickbay.  ::Leans back on the bulkhead, but whacks his collarbone on the hand rail and decides not to do that again...fortunately, the car shortly comes to a halt, and he exits::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Enters sickbay, peering through the office glass, but doesn't see Raeyld...continues on into the main ward::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow, wishing the chairs fit better.::  CAG: No more than normal I would say.
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
::After thinking about it for a moment, orders the Okanagan seats fitted with booster seats and appropriately sized restraints.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leans forward from her seat somewhat hidden behind a console, and waves:: XO: Commander.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods::  CMO:  Hello, Doctor.  ::Folds his hands in front of himself, holding his PADD loosely::
Ian_Williams says:
::continues to observe his console, though he lends an ear to the bridge chatter, what there is of it... this, he decided, is precisely why he took that security assignment::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Offers him a PADD:: XO: My preliminary analysis indicates that, while time was stopped for the Claymore for six hours, the DNA of the crew was modified slightly. DNA markers were changed, replaced mostly by an unidentifiable alien DNA marker. 
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: The markers affected were exclusively tied to cell regeneration, hormone production, and bone growth. It was these modifications that caused our bodies to revert to earlier forms. The markers affected vary for the crew by species, likely due to the fact the different species rely on different markers for these changes.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods, following along::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: Although I wasn't able to identify the alien DNA marker, it -does- bear close ties to Cardassian DNA - about an 83% match, to be precise. It's close enough to indicate a species that might have been evolutionary divergent from the Cardassian development. Do you have any ideas? 
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Tactical scans show science probes are now in orbit of the planet and recording data.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Glances away from sensors, first elsewhere on console, then to T'Shara::  CO:  Probes in place and recording, Captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks more than a bit surprised, at that::  CMO:  No...  ::Rubs his chin a moment::  That's not to say it's impossible that my people would have branched offworld sometime in the distant past, but.... ::Shakes his head::  If there's a lead there, I'm afraid I can't think of it, at least at the moment.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Excellent, Lieutenant.  Hopefully, they will shed some light on what happened to the colonists and to us.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Slides down off her chair, she had been sitting long enough, she wanted to stand and stretch her legs.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over to Hawk::  CAG: How long do you think it will take your crew to make the modifications?
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Blinks slightly, once again looking away from regular sensor readings::  CO:  Captain, probes show strange markings near the colony town.
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
CO:  Should be done within the hour, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns toward the main viewer::  CTO: On screen, Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Understood, thank you, Captain.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods slowly:: XO: We have a few ambassadors aboard, as well as my former aide from Trov. With your permission, I'd like to show them these DNA results and inquire whether they're familiar with any possibilities.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMO:  You have my permission.  When do you plan to visit them?
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Brings the area of the surface up on the main viewer while paying a bit more immediate attention to the probe scans now::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The viewscreen flickers as the images from the probes begin to display.   Small hills and valleys appear around the colony, then images of radar scans begin to show those hills and valleys are a previous settlement.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks closer to the center of the bridge to look at the images::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: Rather immediately. I doubt they've heard much more than the Captain's general announcements over the comm. They might appreciate a check-up and some reassurances.
Ian_Williams says:
::directs an eye to the viewscreen, given that there's not much for him to do with the ship sitting there for the moment::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Glances up toward T'Shara again::  CO:  And another instance of markings, Captain.  Different location on the planet.  ::Makes sure the extra images are set to go to the screen as well::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The viewscreen brings up 3D images of a very large city only a meter or so below the surface.    Further scans begin to show deeper passageways from once was a large subway system, thermal generators, and large water substations.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  More locations overlay on the planet.   To the east is another massive city just meters under the surface.   Computer estimates the population would have been three to six million.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Looks up to the main screen as the images display for a bit better view, then back down to his console::  CO:  Locations with markings up to thre- four, now.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Computer: Run an analysis on approximate age of buried settlements.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods::  CMO:  May I accompany you?
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
::Doesn't even bother looking up this time::  CO:  Six, Captain.
Host SMDrew says:
<Computer>  CO:  Under normal decay estimations, these cities were occupied around 500 to 1200 years ago.  More detailed studies on location would be needed for exact timelines.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, somehow lightly surprised, but pleasantly so:: XO: Of course. ::Picks up another set of PADDs, each specially loaded with the data she means to show the ambassadors and Throm, and stands:: XO: I planned to visit Throm first.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: You’re saying there were six total settlements on the planet....
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::folds her arms looking at the viewscreen, how is that possible::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The next markings are uncovered with 3D radar scans.  Each city would have held one million to eight million people during its time.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
CO:  So far, Captain.  ::Keeps an eye on it just in case the probes turn up anything more::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.  ::Makes the traditional "after you" motion with his arm and takes a few notes of his own on his PADD::
Ian_Williams says:
::watches passively as the display shifts, keeping any thoughts to himself at this point::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: Contact DaiMons Britec at Galileo Station.  Find out if there were any archaeological studies done prior to colonization of this planet.  Make sure it's secured.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, pressing her lips together slightly at the minor juxtaposition of such a courteous gesture from a figure seeming so much more likely to scamper halls than question ambassadors:: XO: Thank you.  ::Leads them out of sickbay, toward the turbolifts::
Ian_Williams says:
::resists the urge to give T'Shara a 'You're kidding, right?' look, but ties into the operations console, encrypts Claymore's end of the conversation - twice, for good measure - and then sends the inquiry to the offending station::
CAG_Cptn_Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, shuttlebay reports Okanagan shield modifications are complete.
Ian_Williams says:
CO: I wouldn't count on an immediate response, captain. Civilization hasn't entirely managed to locate this sector on a map yet.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Ian: Understood, Mr. Williams.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Very good, Captain.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Follows along behind Raeyld::
Host SMDrew says:
