XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  If you and your people would follow me...  ::gestures for them to follow::

Captain_Grift says:
::Exits his ready room onto the bridge::

King_Traylor says:
@::Looks to the Queen with a certain look.:: Queen: I still think we should at least inform them.  Even though according to their standers it's an internal matter to be settled by us.

Eden_One says:
XO: Of course Mr. ?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::walks up to Captain's chair, tricorder in hand as she looks at it's underside::

Eden_One says:
::looks down at his hand:: XO: Mr. Sanders.......::takes his hand carefully::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::stands, looking Grift over::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Hadn't noticed. I've been too busy, you know... commanding the ship.

King_Traylor says:
@::Sighs.:: Queen: I know according to their rules its an internal matter.  But.. They did kidnap the delegation and we cannot avoid that for much longer.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  This way, please.  ::exits the transporter room::

OPS_Webster says:
::stretches out on her couch, pulling Gumby closer::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::enters Observation room with Riverwind::

Eden_One says:
::follows the XO::XO: Tell me, what do you do here?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  You... look like a normally proportional person.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@King: Whatever you think is best. ::frowns:: I suppose you are right.

TO_Brad says:
XO: The Captain said to meet in the lounge.

TO_Brad says:
::Follows the XO with tactical team in tow.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Raise shields, Lt.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: *Happy*: Derek, buddy, I need you to come up to flight control.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
TO:  I am aware of that, Ensign.  Thank you.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks at the CEO, puzzled::

CTO_Grayson says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::raises shields::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  I'm still trying to figure that out...  ::grins::

TO_Brad says:
XO: No problem, just making sure.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::enters the bridge and goes to Sci1 unnoticed::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> *Trent*: Aye, sir.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> *Happy*: Thanks, I owe you.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::leads the guests to the TL and enters, motioning for them to do the same::

Eden_One says:
::raises an eyebrow at the comment:: Self: He is very strange.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::runs tricorder over chair, shaking head::  CO:  I bet that Ambassador Sea's dog is making it off balance...

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> *Trent*: My pleasure.  Anything to get out of listening to Salty retell his days as the Senior Pilot...

King_Traylor says:
@::Walks over to the console and stares at it for a bit.  Then talks to himself.:: Self: It is an internal matter... ::Taps his finger on the side of the console, still debating with himself.::

Eden_One says:
::steps into the turbolift:: XO: This is a traveling machine?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Computer:  Bridge.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  ::stricken by the question:: Yes, it is.

<Trent>: ::laughs at Happy's response:: *Happy*: Then I guess I Don't owe you ::grins::

CEO_Tomiaz says:

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> ::arrives on the Bridge and takes the helm.  Cool!::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Aye Captain... best of luck talking sense into them.

Eden_One says:
::nods and smiles:: XO: Quite small isn't it?

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<Riverwind>::sitting at the Ambassador's feet::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Wait... we're just floating in orbit up here???

CTO_Grayson says:
::stands there at his station, pressing buttons and making cool music-type noises with 'em again::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::exits the bridge and head off into the observation lounge::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  ::remaining polite::  It serves our purpose.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: CO: Sir...:: realizes the captain is no longer on the bridge:: Darn.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::spins around in chair once, frowning::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::waits for the lift to stop and the doors to open, then lead the guests onto the bridge and into the obs. lounge::

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks around the room, but decides to wait for other people to sit down first::

CNS_Anusia says:
::enters observation lounge and takes a seat::

King_Traylor says:
@::Turns to the Queen, still lost in his own debate.::

Eden_One says:
XO: And this Captain of yours, is he a good man?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks at Grayson and smiles then shakes her head and watches her husband come onto the bridge::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: ::turns to Happy:: Happy: Well, sure, but if we need to go anywhere, I didn't think I should be at the helm.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::replicates a soda for himself and one for River::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  ::nods:: He does his job well.

Eden_One says:
::follows the XO like a puppy dog::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Well, okaaaaay.  Although, between the two of us, Pretzel says my piloting totally iwks.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sees the captain and approaches him::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::removes a locking clamp and pulls the CO's chair off the base, then examines the bottom of it::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::enters the observation lounge and awaits the DJ's visitors::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: Captain Grift, this is Eden.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: Happy: It can't be worse than mine.  These are the coordinates of the moon base ::sends them to Happy::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::stands as the CO enters::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Thanks.  ::takes the coordinates and looks at them::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  This is Captain Douglas Grift.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Self:  Aa-hah!

OPS_Webster says:
::falls asleep, exhausted from emotions and crying::

Eden_One says:
::enters the observation lounge and sees a handsome man before her and smiles:: CO: Captain Grift, a pleasure to meet you.

King_Traylor says:
@::Walks over to his Aide and talks with him about the legalities.::

CNS_Anusia says:
::stands and nods as people file in::

TO_Brad says:
::tactical team stands just next to the entrance::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::nods to the Ambassador and approaches Eden:: Eden: I would've rather met you on more pleasant terms.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
(((CNS: Are they wearing telepathic inhibitors?)))

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::sits::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::removes a small device from her uniform pocket and unscrews a bolt from the chair base::  CTO:  Talk about shoddy craftsmanship...  ::shakes head, holding up the screw::

OPS_Webster says:
CSO: Lt, I've located the origin of the moon base. Do you need assistance with anything?

Eden_One says:
CO: I do apologize for the way I received your away team, but it was necessary.

CNS_Anusia says:
(((AMB: Yes. Just after they transported aboard.)))

OPS_Webster says:
<oops, please add a <Trent> there>

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
OPS: Nope, thanks, though.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: There are proper channels you can go through. Abducting Starfleet officers is generally considered hostile.

King_Traylor says:
@::Walks back to the console and talks to the Queen.:: Queen: I have no choice but to at least notify them. ::Taps on the console.::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::nods::

Eden_One says:
CO: Captain, I meant you and your people no harm.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::screws the base into the floor properly, then snaps the chair back into place.  Takes a seat and smiles::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<Riverwind> ::watching Eden's every move with his beady ice blue ices::

CNS_Anusia says:
(((AMB: They were also scanned for any... devices that might have served as a brain pattern monitor. None were found. )))

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: ::turns back to his console and begins listening to the comm channels with one ear::

King_Traylor says:
@COM: DJ: This is King Traylor.  We have finally discovered who kidnapped your people.  Come in?

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: Com: KT: This is the Don Johnson, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Refrains from commenting on Eden's last comment:: Eden: So what was your reason for abducting my crew members?

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
(((CNS: How can you account for their telepathy?)))

Eden_One says:
::glances over and sees a furry creature and smiles::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rises from seat and walks forward towards CSO::  CSO:  And they say everything I touch falls apart on this ship... have you been able to get any more detailed scans on their installation?

King_Traylor says:
@::Logs in the data as to whom the energy signal belongs to and gets ready to send it to the USS Don Johnson.  Waits a few more moments.::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sitting around looking stupid, since she has no exciting people to share telepathic thoughts with, mainly because she's not telepathic::

CNS_Anusia says:
::shakes head slightly:: (((AMB: They must've had a concealed device on the planet.)))

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: *CO*: Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, but King Traylor is hailing us.

Eden_One says:
CO: Captain, you must not allow Torvald II to join your Federation until we have talked.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::quietly removes himself from the obs. lounge and takes the bridge::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
(((CNS: They seem to want to have their own way. ))))

Host Captain_Grift says:
::motions for Eden to take a seat:: Eden: Really? And why is that?

King_Traylor says:
@COM: DJ: I have data concerning the kidnappers of your delegation.  Preparing to send you the information.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::sits back and listens, these people like to dictate::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: COM: KT: Aye, sir.  Ready to receive.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sits in the captain's chair::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>::hears a creak behind her and turns to find the XO in the captain's chair::

CNS_Anusia says:
(((AMB: Indeed they do. I hope we can contain this meeting and conduct all talks with no further incidents.)))

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::turns, hoping that the CO's chair doesn't topple over::

Eden_One says:
::sits on the edge of the chair offered:: CO: King Traylor and Queen Tranya are not what they appear.

King_Traylor says:
@::Smiles and then sends the information that indicates that it's the Eden whom kidnapped the Federation Delegation.:: COM: DJ: Sending information.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<Riverwind> (((Amb: Can I bite her?))) ;   (((River: be good)))

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> XO: Sir, King Traylor is sending information about the kidnappers.

CNS_Anusia says:
::watches with interest, sitting forward slightly as Eden starts talking about the King and Queen::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::listens intently::

CMO_Fielding says:
::wonders if they'll get further than "they bad, we good" this time::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::receives the data:: COM: KT: Transmission received.

CNS_Anusia says:
::catches a stray thought from... River?!::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Trent:  Let's see it.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::taps the back of her index finger on her PADD::  CSO:  We were able to find their base and confirm it's location from both the comm signal and transport beam, but we have very little on the installation as a whole.  Like how many people are in it, etc.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::listens skeptically::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::watches the King and hopes things work out for the good::

CNS_Anusia says:
::looks at pooch and arches an eyebrow::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: XO: Aye, sir, sending to your station now.  ::sends the info to the Captain's chair::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<River> ::winks at CNS::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  I'm still trying... I'll tell you once I have something.

King_Traylor says:
@::Smiles to this "Trent" person and then gets ready to close the channel.:: COM: DJ: If you have any other questions, you know where to reach us.  King Traylor out.

CMO_Fielding says:
::makes a paper airplane out of a paper napkin::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Thanks... I've reached a dead end with my investigation.

CTO_Grayson says:
::hums as he taps buttons::

CNS_Anusia says:
::eyes widen.... tries not to grin at River::

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and ponders to whom she should send it::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Nothing then?

Eden_One says:
All: Please you must not accept them....::begins to tear up:: they refuse to allow Eden to govern themselves, they take our Maernite and give us nothing.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Trent:  Thank you.  ::reads the info::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<Riverwind> (((CNS: I won't call you a hairless ape if you don't call me "pooch")))

CMO_Fielding says:
::hmmm... heard that, nothing new...::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::shakes head::  CSO:  I've got a few guys taking a look down below... but from what we can figure out, they shouldn't even have this technology.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::nods to the XO and then turns to Happy::  Happy: Not much to do, eh?

CMO_Fielding says:
::...will they sing their tired old song, or will they bring in something new?  And where are the Torvald II dudes?::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Never on my watch, anyway.  ::grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  CEO:  Any hypothesis on why they do, then?

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::not quite convinced by crocodile tears::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Are your people natives of Torvald II?

CNS_Anusia says:
::bites lip:: (((River: My apologies, River.))) ::nods slightly in his direction::

CMO_Fielding says:
::doesn't think she should throw the airplane at Eden...::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::bangs on the console a bit::  CEO:  My scans are being blocked by something on the planet.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::smiles, then motions with her free hand at the SCI console::  CSO:  You're the one with the sensors, you tell me.

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and wonders if she should throw it at someone else...::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  From the planet... or the moon base?

King_Traylor says:
@::Turns to the Queen.:: Queen: Well, its basically out of our hands now.  But in accordance with their laws and our own.  There's little if nothing they can do to stop our acceptance.  But they will have to deal with the Eden. ::Sighs and sits down.::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> Happy: Strange, isn't it, how all the excitement happens when the bosses are on the bridge.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  I think it's the planet... I'm not too sure...

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Yeah.  I think they do it on purpose.  They probably call up troublemakers and tell them when to show up.  Naturally, they show up when they're not told to show up, which is when the big guys are in charge.

Eden_One says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: We were many years ago, but when Torvald needed new sources of fuel, our people were sent to the second moon to find it. Over the years we grew into a colony of miners with families and our own lives.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> ::smiles, pleased with himself for coming up with this perfectly good theory::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Are you held on that moon against your will?

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::frowns, totally confused by Happy's logic:: Happy: What?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::nods to the King and waits with him::

CNS_Anusia says:
(((AMB: Interesting companion you have there. ::mental smile::)))

CTO_Grayson says:
Happy: Brilliant, Ensign.  Just brilliant.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  But... why would Tovald II be blocking our scans of a rouge moon?  There's no indication that they're getting ready to launch a strike on the moon base, is there?  Maybe we could try jacketing the sensor scan with an ACB, that might cut out some interference.

CTO_Grayson says:
::sighs and goes back to tapping buttons::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> CTO: Thank you, sir.

Eden_One says:
CO: We mined the Maernite and sent it back to Torvald and they grew rich on our labors.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::sighs:: CTO: Please, don't encourage him sir, it only gets worse ::grins::

Eden_One says:
CO: Against our will?

CMO_Fielding says:
::twirls the paper airplane a couple times and sees if it would do well as a lie detector...::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::not quite sure there is anything we can do even if she is telling the truth::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::glances over to the Ambassador to catch a quick glimpse of his expression::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  No, sorry, it's the moon itself, not the base or the planet.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Do they force you to mine the ore? Or can you leave at any time?

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and wonders what good she's doing, since all she's doing is sitting here making paper airplanes...::

Eden_One says:
CO: Captain, we asked for only a say in our own lives, to live and work and raise our families.

CNS_Anusia says:
::wonders why the Edenites are so timid when it comes to the King and Queen, and so brazen when it comes to kidnapping strangers::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::sends the CO a message on a PADD:: "This is an internal matter I don’t see what we can do"

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  If it's a natural occurrence, then that's a good reason to build a base there.

CTO_Grayson says:
Trent: Don't worry, I don't trust people with the same name as me.  ::smirks and taps some more buttons, extremely bored::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Does the government of Torvald II prevent you from doing that?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Sure is.  Makes me wonder, though... My last host was a geophysicist, you see.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::silently agrees with the Ambassador's message::

Eden_One says:
CO: We had nowhere to go after Torvald stopped sending ships here. Only the freighters have been allowed.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CTO: Sir?  Same name? ::thinks Grayson sounds nothing like Happy::

CTO_Grayson says:
Trent: Same first name...

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Unless he's also named Derek, I don't see the... oh, oops.

Eden_One says:
CO: They prevent us from doing anything that does not add to their treasury.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Really?  Then you'd agree that a probe would be a good idea about now... but I'd hate to set off any alarms inside that base.  Thanks for the information.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::transmits message to Captain:: "The best we could do is offer to mediate a dispute as a neutral party or open trade relations with them"

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::glances behind him to look at his wife and gives her a quick wink::

TO_Brad says:
CO: If I may, Eden: So, you want to be able to build ships?

King_Traylor says:
@::Walks over to his Aide and starts discussing matters with him again.::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CTO/Happy: Oh, you have something in common. ::Grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods to the CEO then narrows her eyes at Torgh but smiles::

CMO_Fielding says:
::writes "so what exactly is the government of Torvald II doing to stop you from doing what you want?" on the paper airplane and sends it toward Eden::

Eden_One says:
TO: We want a say our own lives, which the King and Queen refuse to allow.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::begins to walk away, then stops::  CSO:  ...do me a favor though.  Tune the sensors to pay special attention to high-end subspace frequencies.  Hopefully we're not overlooking something.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Perhaps the government of Torvald II would agree wo meet with you aboard the Don Johnson. Perhaps they would be willing to work with you a little more with the Federation brokering the talks.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::absorbing the information::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Sure.  ::reconfigures the scans and scans::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: So... been to the Omega Fountain recently?  I think I'm overdue for a visit there.

Eden_One says:
CO: Captain, they treat us as slaves and force us to mine the Maernite for them. We want to use it as an export to establish trade.

TO_Brad says:
Eden: Would you be content if they automated the mine and invited everyone home then?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Next time they try using their transporters, maybe we can catch them in the act...  ::walks over to the command area::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::walks to a full length mirror and fusses with her hair::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Have a moment?

Eden_One says:
CO: WE have tried to talk with them but they refuse.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> Happy: No, I've never been there. What's it like? ::sends more power to sensors::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Time is all I seem to have right now...  ::grins::

CNS_Anusia says:
::sends message to the CO via PADD:: "Sir, I'd like to know about the device they used to probe our minds."

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: It's only the best ice cream parlor ever to be built in the galaxy.  Even as a holodeck simulation, it's pretty good.

King_Traylor says:
@::Looks over to the Queens movements and smiles then goes back to talking with his Aide.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: Perhaps they would be more willing to listen with membership into the Federation looming.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Looks over at Trent and smiles::  Trent:  Thanks!  ::continues scanning::

Eden_One says:
CO: We ask for very little, but our moon has little resources.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::gladly stands and joins his wife and the CEO::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CSO: My pleasure, Lt. ::gives Tas a winning smile::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Sorry to interrupt, but I found nothing.

Eden_One says:
CO: We are willing to talk.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Eden: So they send you supplies and you mine the ore?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  We've been unable to determine this rouge faction's means of transport, and some sort of interference from the moon... apparently natural is hindering scans of their base.  There seems to be nothing we can do, short of sending something in closer to their base, though I doubt they'd like that much.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Eden: You're claim at powerlessness is not quite accurate

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks like a pretty lampshade, except the pretty part::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises an eyebrow at Trent then turns to her husband and smiles::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> Happy: The next time you try that sim., let me know.

Eden_One says:
Amb: Ambassador, please clarify.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks towards the Ambassador to hear what he has to say::

CNS_Anusia says:
::nods at the Ambassador's observation::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Happy> Trent: Sure, I'll be glad to do so.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::frowns at the odd look the CSO gave him::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO/CSO:  Smiles all around, I see...  CSO:  I take it you've had ample time to settle back in?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  I agree.  There's absolutely no way you can cut through the interference?

CTO_Grayson says:
Trent/Happy: Hey, do you think they'd get angry if I kinda, maybe fired a torpedo?  I'm so bored...

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Eden: You have the technology to evade Federation sensor technology, you have an ability to transport at distances greater than ours and you can apparently read minds at will

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CTO: I don't see the problem. Go ahead. ::grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods to her husband and looks back at the CEO::

Eden_One says:
Amb: You mean my mental abilities? ::smiles and removes the inhibitor::

CNS_Anusia says:
::tenses::

OPS_Webster says:
::wakes up from her nap, feeling all woozy::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Eden: And you are very arrogant

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Apparently not sir... though there's still a few procedures to try.  There's one thing that bothers me, however...

CTO_Grayson says:
Trent: Nah, I'd better not.  Who knows, we might need it or something.

TO_Brad says:
::puts hand on phaser, doesn't draw it though::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Yes?

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CTO: Party pooper. ::grins even more::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Eden: By removing the inhibitor you are now in violation of the agreement of these talks. ::stands to leave::

Eden_One says:
Amb: You speak from experience sir. You also, are as you called it, "arrogant". Are you not?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO/CSO:  They've managed to evade us every time we've crossed paths with them.  Our records show that the people of Tovald II posses technology inferior to that of the Federation.  It makes me wonder how they got ahold, or possibly developed, this equipment.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden/Amb: I think it might be time to turn down the volume, don't you?

CMO_Fielding says:
::motions to Eden to put the inhibitor back on, waves at the Ambassador to sit down...::

CMO_Fielding says:
::...then realizes she's not in charge.  OOPS!!!::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
CMO: I do not think so

King_Traylor says:
@Aide: Ok.  ::Waves him away.:: That is the course of action we will take. Now prepare everything. ::Turns to the Queen with a smile.::

TO_Brad says:
Eden/Amb: I agree with the doc, let's all just calm down. Eden, please don't try that again. Ambassador, please try not to be so jumpy.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks up from her deep thoughts::  XO/CSO:  I have an idea...

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::overhears the CEO and turns around:: CEO: Have we considered that the people of Torvald may not have been totally honest...maybe they Do possess this kind of technology but haven't allowed us to see it...

Eden_One says:
Amb: Ambassador, the device was only a diversion, it did not affect me. I simply allowed you to believe it did.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Yes, and how can the people of Eden claim to be slaves if they possess such technology?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CEO::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
TO: I do not recognize your advise in this matter

CNS_Anusia says:
::narrows eyes at Eden:: Eden: I thought you wanted things resolved. Why would you willingly deceive us?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::sees King behind her from her view point in the mirror and turns: King: How do you think things are progressing?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CNS: Is she telling the truth?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Is there anyway we can use the internal scanners to take a peek at our guest's equipment?  I briefly saw them, and noticed they were carrying some devices.  Maybe we can get a glimpse at their technology.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Eden: I see so you are practicing deceit

King_Traylor says:
@::Smiles reassuringly.:: Queen: Not sure.  Doesn't matter at the moment.  I have it all taken care of.

Eden_One says:
CNS: They are those that would take from us our way of life.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO: In a way that they wouldn't know?  Hmmm...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Trent:  True... but what is there to gain?  If Tovald joined the Federation, we'd have access to most of their records.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::realizes no one heard his first comment, but tries again:: CEO: Wouldn't we have had a scan from when they boarded?

CNS_Anusia says:
CO: Sir, I haven't been able to read her, at all. That's never happened. I'm beginning to think this was all a ruse to get on board this ship.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Captain: Based on their telepathic abilities I recommend that command staff and myself not be present anymore to prevent espionage

CNS_Anusia says:
Eden: Then why don't you take it back? If you can so easily take US, why can you not take back your own lives?

Eden_One says:
All: Ask the King and Queen about this. They too have the ability to deceive. I did not intend to lead you all on.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Trent:  The transporter does a routine scan when something is beamed aboard... but perhaps they have a device in operation.  A comm device... anything that might give us a clue.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::shrugs:: CEO: I don't know, but this King sounded "too" nice, if that makes any sense.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::motions for Ambassador Sea to follow him out into the hallway::

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::leaves::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  We could scan them.  They most likely wouldn't know it, either.

Eden_One says:
All: They know the secret and want to keep us silent. Please you must listen.

CNS_Anusia says:
::sits tensely in chair, unsure of Eden's telepathic ethics::

TO_Brad says:
::Stays in the room while the captain and ambassador discuss outside::

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Since you're interested in being open... why don't you tell us why you think keeping Torvald II out of the Federation will help any... and why we've been listening and we haven't heard anything exciting yet?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::smiles and walks to an ornate sofa and sits properly:: King: I am a bit hungry.

OPS_Webster says:
::gets up, walking over to her console::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: I'm not quite sure what to make of her pleas? Do they have superior telepathic abilities?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Next time they signal their base, try and catch the frequency of the comm beam.  Perhaps we can have our sensors match that frequency, and pierce through the interference.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
CO: I placed myself in a trace to prevent espionage while in captivity

King_Traylor says:
@::Smiles and motions to the servants to bring the treats and drinks.::

Eden_One says:
CMO: Tell me, who is that that speaks to your mind?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Good idea.  ::does what the CEO thinks she should::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: It seems they may have a legitimate gripe, but Eden is not going about addressing her concerns properly.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
CO : They definitely have superior telepathic abilities and she is not bashful at using them.  She has no telepathic ethics, she is more like a resistance fighter

CMO_Fielding says:
::wonders, too, if she should Psychoanalyze the Ambassador... he seems to be so Paranoid about Espionage... espionage on WHAT?::

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Huh?

TO_Brad says:
::Frowns as he looks to the CMO:: CMO: tell me, did it seem to you the Ambassador got a little too jumpy?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Trent:  Has there been any noticeable comm activity between the moon base and the planet since we arrived?

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent>: ::smiles, as he knows he has something to contribute:: CEO/CSO: The boss has that information...I mean, Commander Webster...sending to your stations now.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CEO: None at all.  The only comms in system have been between the King and us.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
Captain: Then I suggest they get another representative this telepathy is serious they could learn your command codes

Eden_One says:
CMO: There is another in there. ::points to the CMO's head:: she speaks to you.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: There is?  Whoa.  REALLY?  Who's that???

CEO_Tomiaz says:
Trent:  Speaking of the Commander... I thought she was still on duty?  Checking out a lead behind my back, is she?  ::smiles::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> ::looks a bit sad:: CEO: She was, sir, but she had bad news from home.

CNS_Anusia says:
::looks at April, knowing full well it's her inner self... one of many if she's like most people... who speaks to her::

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: And how can you sense her when *I* can't sense her?  What's she like?  What does she say?

Eden_One says:
CMO: She is what you call "the voice of reason"

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Perhaps we could just bring Torvald and Eden together for talks. This is an internal matter, we really shouldn't be in the middle of it.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CEO: I agreed to fill in for her.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  She asked the captain to be excused from the bridge... she seemed distracted.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Oh.  Drat.  So what about this voice of reason?  ::thinks that's Boring::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::waits for the treats while looking at her nails trying to decide if she should get a new girl::

CNS_Anusia says:
::wonders why Eden has no voice of reason::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::smile turns to a frown::  Trent/CSO:  Oh?  Perhaps I'll stop by her quarters later on... see if she's ok.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: And what does it have to do with your problem?

TO_Brad says:
Eden: So, Eden, tell me, if Torvald offered to ferry you all home and automate the mine, would you accept? I asked earlier, but you seemed to have missed it.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  I'll go with you, then. Caryn is a good friend.

King_Traylor says:
@::Smiles at the queen and knows exactly what she's thinking.:: Queen: You probably should.  ::Grins and sits down.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  Then again, there's a simpler stance to take in this situation...

Eden_One says:
CMO: This tires me. Please bring me the animal, the one that was here.

CTO_Grayson says:
All: Wait...what's wrong with her?

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
CO: I agree, I would like to have some neutral telepathic supervisors such as Vulcans and Ullians or let them talk it out.  There are things you and I know such as <whispers> "Omega" being of command rank that these people dont need to know

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Oh?

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: What tires you?  Well, I don't know if we could get him or not.  What does HE have to do with anything?

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Since we're talking tired, *I*'m getting tired of not getting straight answers. ::pouts::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::begins to walk towards turbolift::  XO:  This is an internal matter of Tovald II.  The prime directive does prevent us from taking sides in such matters.  I guess all we can do is sit back and watch...  ::frowns::

Eden_One says:
CMO: You are a confused young woman aren't you?

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Agreed. ::Proceeds towards the bridge:: Let's see if a representative from Torvald II will meet with them.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Not as confused as you seem to be... you haven't told us anything yet.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
::enters bridge with River::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Oh, but that would be too easy... ::grins and winks::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  ...though they did take Federation hostages.  In any case, we'll keep our eyes open.

TO_Brad says:
Eden: This is the second time you've refused or dismissed my question. What's your answer?

Host Captain_Grift says:
OPS: Hail Torvald II.

CMO_Fielding says:
::thinks Eden might need some elocution lessons.  Heck, she might take some, too...::

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CO: Aye, sir.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rolls eyes and enters turbolift::

Eden_One says:
CMO: You just don't understand, the creature please.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> COM: KT: This is the Don Johnson.

CNS_Anusia says:
::under breath:: CMO: I'm with you...

King_Traylor says:
@::Gets up and paces.  Then turns and heads to the big windows and smiles as his people will be happy soon.:: Queen: Very soon we'll be apart of the grand Federation. ::Hears the hail and quickly heads to the console.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Coming?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  OH!  Yes!  Sorry...

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: WHY the doggie?  I want to know WHY before I even try to get him.  Please?  Can't you tell me that much?  And no, I don't want to talk about me, I want to talk about you.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::goes into the TL with the CEO::

CMO_Fielding says:
::puts on her best "I'm the shrink, you're the patient" expression::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rides the TL down to OPS's quarters, and exits::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::grins at Tas with an "I-have-a-secret" look::

King_Traylor says:
@::Pauses a few moments looking to the queen.:: Queen: Got to let them think Im busy. ::Clears his throat and then answers the Com.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  To be honest, I've never been close to Commander Webster...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::fumes on the way to Caryn's quarters::

CMO_Fielding says:
CNS: <w> Oh, sorry, 'doc, I don't want to steal your thunder...

King_Traylor says:
@COM: DJ: This is the King.  How may I help you?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::grins at the King::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Yeah?  She's really sweet.  Outside of work, that is.

OPS_Webster says:
<Trent> CO: Sir, the King is on speakers ::makes it so::

Eden_One says:
CMO: The animal understands. He is above your human abilities. I can speak to him.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::walks down hall::  CSO:  I mean, I kinda feel at times like I've got the cold shoulder.  But still...  ::sighs::

King_Traylor says:
@::Bends down and seemingly sets a PADD like device on the table.  Then looks to the screen.::

CNS_Anusia says:
::smiles:: CMO: Not to worry. Nothing to steal.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::frowns, now that the two Trill women have gone::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Like she gives you the cold shoulder, or like you give it to her?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::hits the door panel on OPS's quarters::

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Well, isn't half the challenge of governing yourself the willingness to try?  You aren't even trying with us.  I can feel it.

Host Captain_Grift says:
COM: T2: We have a representative of one of your moons. She wishes to negotiate with your government for some liberties she claims her people have been denied.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<River> (((Amb: I'm gonna give her a good bite)))

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  A little of both, actually...  I wouldn't mind getting along with her, if that's what you mean.

OPS_Webster says:
::jumps as the chime to her quarters goes off::

TO_Brad says:
Eden: Can you even hear me? ::Waves hand in view range::

King_Traylor says:
@::Puts his hand up in motioning to an Aide to wait.  Then turns to the screen.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  That's what I mean.  And you should, she's a great person to know.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rubs hands off each other::  CSO:  A little bit of personality clashing...  heh.

OPS_Webster says:
::wonders who would be visiting her::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::sees that the food and drink have arrived and indulges::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Chuckles::  CEO:  Understood.  She can be... cold sometimes.

Eden_One says:
TO: I heard you little man, please don't bother me.

King_Traylor says:
@::Looks a bit concerned.:: COM: DJ: This wouldn’t be the Eden would it? ::Sighs as he knows.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CSO*:  Sanders to Sanders.

OPS_Webster says:
::picks up Gumby and heads to the door, unsure::

Host Captain_Grift says:
*CMO*: We are contacting Torvald II to see if they will send a representative to speak with Eden.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*XO*:  Yes dear?

CMO_Fielding says:
*CO*: Understood, sir.

Ambassador_JohnSea says:
<Riverwind> ::up on his hind legs at SCI2 running scans::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Well, this isn't the first time I've rubbed off on somebody the wrong way...

Host Captain_Grift says:
COM: T2: Indeed it is.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CSO*:  Nothing, I just always wanted to say that without sounding insane.

TO_Brad says:
Eden: Well, answer my question then. If you were offered to return home would you? Or are you just after the Maernite?

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Hey-ho, they're trying to get someone from Torvald II here.  You might want to try harder with them than you've tried with us... I mean, it takes Effort, you know?

CNS_Anusia says:
::looks askance at Eden:: Eden: Please refrain from insulting this crew. We invited you here as our guest. ::thinks, but you can be transported out into space if you keep it up, sistah..::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Laughs::  *XO*:  Glad I could indulge you!

OPS_Webster says:
::hits the door panel, it swishes open, and she sees Tas and the CEO::

Eden_One says:
TO: The second moon is MY home!

CNS_Anusia says:
::...and hopes Eden got the message::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at Caryn::  OPS:  Hey there.  You all right?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  You know, sometimes Torgh- ::sees door swoosh open::

Eden_One says:
::glares at the CNS:: CNS: You think with the mind of a child.

OPS_Webster says:
::blinks:: CSO: What?  Oh, err, fine.

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: Easy, Eden.  You don't make too many friends insulting their reasoning.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
OPS:  We noticed you weren't on the bridge... feeling ok?

CNS_Anusia says:
::grins:: Eden: Nice of you to notice.

King_Traylor says:
@::Sighs.:: COM: DJ: CO: And she's saying that we don't do enough for her and her people? ::Sighs again and looks to the Queen.:: Maybe in good faith we should come and try to settle our differences once and for all.

OPS_Webster says:
::pulls Gumby closer:: CEO: Umm, not really, but I'll be OK.

CNS_Anusia says:
::arches eyebrow:: Eden: And you think with the mind of an arrogant dictator.

Eden_One says:
::stands:: All: Enough of this, I want to see your Captain now!

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden:  Sit down, please.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::rolls eyes and thinks "ingrates"::

CNS_Anusia says:
::has had just about enough:: Eden: Agreed. I've most certainly had enough.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks from OPS to cat... then back to OPS::

CMO_Fielding says:
Eden: If you can't handle this, how do you expect to handle talking with the people from Torvald II?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::puts a hand on Caryn's shoulder::  OPS:  If you need to talk, I"m here for you, you know.

Eden_One says:
CMO: I want to see the Captain!

CNS_Anusia says:
::stands and exits, in search of the Captain::

TO_Brad says:
::Stands in the way of the door, with tactical team back-up:: Eden: Sorry, lady, we can't let you do that. If you want quarters, we maybe able to arrange something.

Host Captain_Grift says:
COM: T2: Showing a willingness to work through problems peacefully may impress the Federation counsel and could influence their decision.

OPS_Webster says:
CSO: Thanks Tas, I know that.  I'm just not ready yet.

OPS_Webster says:
<Gumby>::stares at the CEO, not sure who she is::

Eden_One says:
::heads for the bridge:: All: Captain, where are you?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks around::  OPS:  Awkward moment... well, I think I have a scan or something... to do.  Hope you feel better.

TO_Brad says:
::Attempts to stop Eden::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::pats Gumby::  OPS:  Alright, then when you're ready.  I can wait.

CMO_Fielding says:
::shakes her head:: Histrionics...

CNS_Anusia says:
CO: Captain, the petulant child we invited on board is demanding to see you. I think she may throw a tantrum if you don't comply. ::frowns and sighs::

Eden_One says:
TO: Let me out of this room.

King_Traylor says:
@COM: DJ: CO: Well, in accordance to the Federation laws, I was informed by Ambassador Sea that we were approved by him to be let in to the Federation.  But since she and her people have kidnapped your delegation.  I think it's only right to try to settle our differences with them.
