CTO_Webster says:
::moves over to her new post at Tactical::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sidles up to the XO:: XO: <w> Excuse me, sir, but I'm about to make some rather big gooey messes if I stay... may I be excused to sickbay?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::sits politely at conference table::

CTO_Webster says:
*Rolen*: Mr. Rolen, please report to the observation lounge.  I would like you to stand guard inside the lounge for the conference.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Is everything all right?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks up from her PADD rather slowing, noticing Commander Webster standing at tactical::

CMO_Fielding says:
XO: No, sir, the gooey mess will materialize in about sixty seconds.

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen>: *CTO*: Aye, Chief.  And welcome to the tactical department.

Eden_One says:
XO: Commander, has the sample arrived yet? I told my aide to send it up immediately.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Okay, Commander.  Return to your post.  I would like to speak with you later. ::senses his cousin's... frustration::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::begins to look back and forth from Tactical to Ops, and back again::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  I will check with my operations manager.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sighs and watches her friends on the bridge... friends.. nice to call them that.. if only in her mind...::

CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Thank you, sir.  ::runs out of the observation lounge at top speed.  She'd win the 200 M relay and break a world record::

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent> ::sends the message off to SF and then begins searching fed db for maernite::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::looks at Eden One, puzzled::

King_Traylor says:
::Starts tapping his fingers on the table wondering when this will start.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  Sanders to Webster.  Have you received the Maernite sample?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::begins to run her finger, pointing from Ops to Tactical as she takes a step closer to Webster::

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent> *XO*: Commander, this is Trent, at OPS.  We have not received the sample yet.

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> ::trots up to the CSO and wants a munchie and a pet::

CMO_Fielding says:
::arrives in Sickbay with three seconds to spare.  Whew...::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  How was the sample sent?

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::quietly enters lounge, moving to the side, trying to be unobtrusive::

Eden_One says:
XO: Your science officer can tell you of the ore's properties.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::grins down at River and gets a treat from her pocket for him with a scratch behind his ears::  River:  And how you today?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::still pointing back and forth between Ops and Tactical::  CTO:  So... get tired of having that big screen in front of you all day or something?

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> CSO: Ruff! ::wags tail::

Eden_One says:
XO: By the usual means of course, your transporter I believe.

CTO_Webster says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Not really, but I've always wanted to try my hand at tactical.  Now seemed a good time.

CMO_Fielding says:
::lies down for a bit::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::snorts::  River:  Ruff isn't very descriptive... unless you mean that literally....  ::Keeps scratching him::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CSO*:  Sanders to Sanders.  Please check with the transporter room.  They should have the Maernite sample.

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> CSO:  Perhaps you'd like to discuss warp philosophy then? ::wolfish grin::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::oddly walks away from Webster, making her way over to Science::  CSO:  Get that sample yet?

King_Traylor says:
::Gets a bit frustrated and clears his throat and taps his fingers a bit louder, looking at everyone in the room.::

CTO_Webster says:
::watches the Engineer walk about oddly::

CMO_Fielding says:
::closes her eyes and waits to see if the heavy haze would lift from her brain.  It doesn't.  Must've forgotten to take those happy pills today...::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*XO*:  Yes sir!  ::looks down at River and shakes head::  River:  Perhaps later!  ::asks TR if the samples there::  *XO*, CEO:  Got it.  Starting scans asap.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CSO*:  Thank you.

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> ::trots off and goes about his business::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*XO*:  No problem..... sir.

Eden_One says:
::looks at the King ::Traylor: Tell the Commander about the Maernite if you will.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  Thank you for the sample.

CTO_Webster says:
::notices the shields are down, and raises them, per the Captain's orders::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Wish to come with me to get it to the Labs?

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> ::Stretches out in the XO's chair and makes himself comfortable::

CMO_Fielding says:
::feels a little better (about .0000001% better) and tries hanging upside down from an upper bunk.  Hmmmm, a little better...::

King_Traylor says:
::Grins.:: Eden One: You mine it... We just process it for energy. Clean and efficient.

Eden_One says:
::smiles at Torgh:: XO: You are most welcome sir.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Sounds good to me. ::smiles::

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

CTO_Webster says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge.

Amb_John_Sea says:
<River> CO: RUFF

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Great!  Let's go, then.  ::Goes to the TL and tells the TR to get the sample to SCI Labs::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::steps into turbolift::  ALL:  Chief Engineer in the turbolift!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  You use the Maernite solely for fuel?

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks at some papers on euthanasia and sighs wistfully::

Eden_One says:
Traylor: You know what I mean.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::nods towards River::

King_Traylor says:
XO: Aye. ::Turns to Eden One with a look of confusion.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rides lift down to the science labs::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Grins at the CO as the doors close::  TL:  SCI Lab 1.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Any word on the talks?

King_Traylor says:
Eden One: No I don’t.

Amb_John_Sea says:
Captain: After our last encounter, I of course thought it prudent to remain outside due to espionage

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::sighs inwardly::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Amb: Of course... Well at least the shooting hasn't started. ::grins::

Amb_John_Sea says:
::smiles::

CMO_Fielding says:
::starts writing The Note... then gets distracted by a beeping console::

King_Traylor says:
::Turns to the Queen.:: Queen: Do you know what she's talking about?

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent> CO: Sir, I’ve found a few references about maernite in the database, but nothing very specific.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::exits lift and begins to head towards labs::  CSO:  Wow, a rock... huh?

Host Captain_Grift says:
Trent: Any research on the ore?

Eden_One says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: He is lying commander. They do process the ore so they know the by products.

CMO_Fielding says:
::takes care of the beeping console, which had helpfully alerted her that the dispensary was almost out of Clonazepam::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO: Yeah, exciting huh?  ::grins and leads the way to the lab::

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent>: CO: No, sir.  No one has had a sample to test before.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::walks into lab, rubbing hands together::  CSO:  Wow, we're the first.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King/Queen:  Neither of you have noticed any strange effects produced by the ore?

CMO_Fielding says:
::STILL thinks it should be spelled 'Clonazepam' instead of 'Clonazepam,' but she's not the drug manufacturer...::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  You're actually excited about this??  I'm not the only one?  ::she goes to the specimen pad and looks at the rock::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
:: stiffens and looks Eden in the face:: Eden: And just what are you implying? ::stares coldly at her::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::sees rock, and picks it up and begins tossing it up and down in her hand::  CSO:  Doesn’t look all that special...

King_Traylor says:
::Says with total honesty.:: XO: Sure we process it and it's clean and efficient.  That's all I know.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::positions sample in the tray::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::catches rock before the CEO can and puts it back on the pad::  CEO:  Looks are always deceiving...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks to the Queen::

CMO_Fielding says:
::decides that the Brits had it right with Klonopin... or *was* it the English?  Maybe it was the *American* version... or maybe Australian... sheesh.... all those different names for one drug...::

CTO_Webster says:
::begins planning a security exercise for her new team::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Excuse me... I was just checking its density and texture... ::rolls eyes, and lets out a giggle::

CMO_Fielding says:
::...oh, heck, just call it Valium!  scribblescribble::

Eden_One says:
Tranya: You know very well that the gases produced, create a telepathic reaction. That is why you keep us isolated on Eden.

King_Traylor says:
XO: From my top scientists... It's safe for use to use and process for our power needs.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::goes to the console and starts ordinary scans on the sample::  CEO:  Sure you were, Steph... you don't mind if I call you that, do you?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::strolls around the bridge, glancing towards the entryway to the observation lounge::

CMO_Fielding says:
::strolls around Sickbay, eyeballing all the Wonderfully Lethal Stuff she Has in there.  Herein lies the Power of Doom... mwaha... oh, wait, those are tranquilizers...::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  If you are both in contact of the ore, why don't the King and Queen possess these telepathic abilities?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Not at all...  ::bends down, looking at the rock closely:: ...actually, I somewhat prefer it.  I have no intent of having my name be a footnote in the history of this symbiotic.

CMO_Fielding says:
::aligns some tricorders and wonders where her staff is... oh, it must be Thursday Lunch Day... good thing she wasn't feeling well, or *no one* would be here... sheesh... mutter mutter::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Hmmm.. all I'm getting is trace amounts of telonium....  Do me a favor and look that up for me, Steph?  And you can call me Tas, if you wish.

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::standing at attention, thinking about his date last night::

King_Traylor says:
::Looks over at Eden One.:: Eden One: Telepathic abilities?  ::Is totally telling the truth as far as he knows.::

Eden_One says:
XO: They can filter the effects at will, that's why.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::strolls over to a console and begins looking up telonium::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden: What I know is that you and your people are telepathic from living on that moon. The people of Torvald II are not around the "stuff" long enough to acquire such "talents" ::turns her nose up at Eden::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::tries more specific scans::

Eden_One says:
All: There you see, she knows!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Queen: So you DO know about the effects of the Maernite.

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks at the departmental calendar.  They'll be out for at least two more hours... Thursday Lunches=BIG Deal for the Medical Department, since they have no other Life...::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Ooo... good stuff.  I bet Dr. Fielding would love to have a look at this.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  What did you find?

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and wonders if she should Change that or anything, but decides that they're doctors, so they don't NEED a Life... no, wait, the techies might...::

King_Traylor says:
::Looks from Eden One to the Queen, then to the XO.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Fights the urge to check-in on the talks::

Eden_One says:
XO: Commander, you see how they manipulate the facts for their own purposes?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::waits for an answer from the Queen::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
XO: Well of course I know. But we on Torvald II do not experience such effects. They have mutated themselves by choosing to live there.

King_Traylor says:
XO: Exactly!

CMO_Fielding says:
::tosses some junk that had piled up on her desk.  They were probably junk mail, anyway.  Nooooo... wait wait, that was a crew physical report... oops...::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  There's only a little bit of info in the database... but it seems telonium is a bit rare.  If breathed in large amounts, it can inhibit neural growth while exciting the growth of stracite cells in the brain.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Queen:  They chose to live there?  Eden:  Is this true?

CMO_Fielding says:
::nearly sticks her entire body down the wastebasket looking for the report::

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent> CO: Sir, I've just had a reply from HQ regarding our situation.

King_Traylor says:
XO: Of course they do.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  I may not be a doctor anymore, but I'm willing to bet that this stuff is what's making our friends upstairs telepathic.

Eden_One says:
Tranya: Choosing to live there? You have isolated us. You refuse all our ships except the ore freighters. We've begged for the right to return home.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::nods at King's comment::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Trent: Anything not worthy?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks up from console, frowning::  CSO:  And what's more, breathing in too much of this stuff is harmful as well.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::frowns::  CEO:  I'm not getting anything else with these scans....  Stracite cells??  Bio-chem. was never my favorite class.

CMO_Fielding says:
::...a minute later... Success!  The Report is Safely In Hand!  Woo-hoo!!!  ...hmmmm, the lettering is a bit off... hmmmm... WHOSE report was this?::

CTO_Webster says:
<Trent> ::shakes head ruefully:: CO: Only the usual, sir, use your best judgment.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Looks at Steph::  CEO:  Harmful?  How so?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::waits for a rebuttal from the king or queen::

CTO_Webster says:
::laughs at Trent's report...typical HQ response::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::leans up against console::  CSO:  Well, you see... it's almost like a drug.  It has its ups, and it has its downs.

CTO_Webster says:
::finds tactical array a bit out of alignment::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  By exciting stracite cells, it's apparently triggering the growth of telepathic receptors in the brain.  But at the same time, it's causing neurological damage.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden: You lie. Your people wanted to leave and colonize that moon. That was your choice and we did not stop you. And your people are allowed to visit ....::is exasperated and pulls out a small fan...waves it in front of her face::

CMO_Fielding says:
::puts the report in the "I'll file it if I Need it" folder and straightens up some biobeds::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises an eyebrow in typical Vulcan fashion::  CEO:  Interesting.  So as long as these people are breathing it, they can read minds and what not.  What if they stop?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::finishes his walk around the bridge, ending in front of the center chair::

Eden_One says:
XO: They know the effects and have become fearful of us. They know we have the ability to do many things, but they force us to stay on Eden.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Glances around, then sits down::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Queen:  When was the last time one of Eden's people was on your planet?

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks for a laser scalpel, but can't find it.  Drat, Hyde must have taken it to cut his roast beef...::

Eden_One says:
Tranya: Our ancestors went willing to mine the Maernite for you, but when the children began developing their powers, you stopped the shuttles in fear of us.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::shrugs shoulders::  CSO:  I honestly don't know.  But what I can tell you is that they're probably breathing in large amounts of this stuff in the mines.  It'll end up killing them...

Host Queen_Tranya says:
XO: I am sure some are there now. We do not restrict them from coming to visit.

Eden_One says:
XO: Commander, none of my people have been to Torvald in almost a century.

CTO_Webster says:
::begins a scan of the moon, trying to get a tactical layout::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden: That is untrue and you know it!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::thinks for a bit::  CEO:  Perhaps drive them crazy?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Oh, my... look at me.  I'm not wearing my medical blue or lab coat anymore.  Perhaps we should run this by Dr. Fielding.

CMO_Fielding says:
::sighs, marks the Inventory List accordingly, and looks around for some other Cool Instruments::

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and finds... a Popsicle stick pretending to be a tongue depressor.  Sigh.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::picks up rock, taking another close look::  CSO:  Anything is possible when something is playing with the way your mind works.

Eden_One says:
Tranya: I can produce a witness to verify everything. He is from the old time, and you know he is the last of the old ones

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks around with a small smidgen of Satisfaction, as the patient areas are now spic-n-span, and without any Windex, too!::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::Looks at the feuding parties, ready to jump in, if necessary::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  CEO: I suppose so... and good idea.  ::Taps badge::  CMO:  Dr, could you come to SCI Lab 1 and take a look at this with me?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  Would you be able to provide me with a transport log?  I'd like to see what kind of traffic exists between Torvald and the moon... other than ore freighters?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::shifts his weight in his chair::

CMO_Fielding says:
*CSO*: Hmmmmm... I'm not sure I should leave here, Dr. J., sorry... I'm not feeling all that well.  Might make a gooey mess.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  We should get those Edenites down to sickbay and run some scans... I'll go talk to the Captain while you talk to April.  ::nods head, then heads for the door::

CTO_Webster says:
::hears the Captain's chair creaking:: CO: Sir?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Yes Commander?

King_Traylor says:
::Sighs with disgust.:: XO: Sure... Just let me call down to my assistant please.  He'll be more than able to show you all the records you'd like to see, and more if you let him.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::hops into a nearby turbolift and rides it to the bridge::

CTO_Webster says:
::shrugs:: CO: You seem uncomfortable...or maybe bored? ::grins::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  Please, by all means.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden: Bring in whom ever you like but rest assured that WE retain the original records of everything.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Nods to Steph::  CMO:  You ok, April?  Need anything?

Eden_One says:
XO: There is one more effect of the ore that you must know Commander.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  Oh?

CMO_Fielding says:
*CSO*: No, thanks.  Just a gooey mess.  Dr. H. should be back soon if you need anything.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Just contemplating the possibilities if the talks do not go well.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::arrives on bridge, then walks over to the Captain::  CO:  Captain, I have so- ::looks down as the chair creaks::

King_Traylor says:
::Contacts his assistant and asks for the log transfer.:: XO: If you'll let me bring it up on that monitor? ::Points to the big one.::

CTO_Webster says:
CO: My people are ready, sir.  They are on stand-by, should they be needed.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sighs::  CMO:  Alright, April....  Hope you feel better.  And tell Dr H to get a hold of me.

Eden_One says:
XO: The gases give us telepathic senses, but it has shortened our lifespan considerably.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  Please do.

CMO_Fielding says:
::watches as Lincoln Hyde returns from the Thursday Lunch::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::wiggles in his chair making it creak a little more, then gives Tomiaz 'the look'::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::puts hand on Captain's armrest and gives it a jiggle, watching it creak once more::

CMO_Fielding says:
*CSO*: Aye, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Are there any other ships on sensors?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::quickly removes hand and places both behind her back::  CO:  Captain, I have a report on that rock sample.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  I'm assuming you would be able to provide me with medical records?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::becomes bored and wonders why Eden thinks that is her fault::

Eden_One says:
XO: Of course commander

CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: Call the Chief Science Officer.  Show-and-tell time or something.  I'm going to lie down before I make a mess.

King_Traylor says:
::Walks over to the big viewscreen.  Taps on it and brings up the complete log history.   Then points to each and everyone of them as he scrolls through it.:: XO: As you can clearly see...  They visit at least once a week.  These are the ore shipments and these are the visiting ships.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> *CSO*: Lincoln Hyde here, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Go ahead.

CTO_Webster says:
::checks sensors again:: CO: Yes, sir.  ::stops as the CEO is reporting::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Well sir, Tas and I just completed a scan on the rock sample and found trace amounts of a substance called telonium.

CMO_Fielding says:
::the rest of the crew is coming back from Thursday Lunch, so retires to her room::

CMO_Fielding says:
::...and doesn't even get a pension.  Geez.::

CTO_Webster says:
::turns to listen to the CEO's report::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  Would you say these records are accurate, Eden?  Has anyone left your planet that you don't know about?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises eyebrow.. hyde??::  *Hyde*:  Could you come to SCI Lab 1 and look at something for me?  I'm no doctor and would like your opinion on something.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Telonium? I've never heard of that.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Records indicate that this substance, if inhaled in large amounts... such as in a mine shaft, would inhibit neural growth, while at the same time excite stracite cells in the brain.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> *CSO*: Well, Dr. F. claims I'm no doctor, either, but I'll be glad to oblige just the same.  I will be there in a minute.

King_Traylor says:
::Sighs and says with pompous arrogance.:: XO: The records are yours. ::Walks back to his set.:: So you see Commander that they indeed do visit, and quite regularly I might add.

CTO_Webster says:
::wonders what a stracite cell is::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  In plain English, it's exciting their minds to the point of developing telepathic abilities, but it's killing them nonetheless.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*Hyde*:  Thank you.  Sanders out.

Eden_One says:
XO: All wishing to leave must come through my aides. There are no ships to take them now. We dismantled them for parts for the freighters when Torvald cut off our supplies.

CTO_Webster says:
::frowns: :CEO: How is it doing that?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sends a copy of the records to the CO for him to check out::

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::gets into the turbolift and directs it to Science Lab 1::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: They've been mining the ore for some time... I wonder if they are aware of the downside?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  So how do you explain these records?  Falsified?

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::...and, having a brain larger than a pea (i.e., larger than April's), appears at the lab in the minute he had promised::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks up::  CTO/CO:  It's inhibiting necessary neural growth... I'd suggest having one of the Edenites head down to sickbay for a full exam.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CSO: Lincoln Hyde, reporting as requested, sir.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::snap to attention as she hears Eden:: XO: We NEVER cut off supplies to them! ::looks at Eden incredulously::

Eden_One says:
Traylor: You are the ones with the means to change the records. My people do not have that technology and you know that.

King_Traylor says:
::Says with total disgust.:: XO: If you wish... I'm more than willing to let you bring down some of your scientists to verify our records in our archives.

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: CEO: Can inhibited neural growth be reversed?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: I'd rather not invite any more of them onboard. We should inform Commander Sanders however.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles::  Hyde:  Thanks for coming.  Take a look at these scans on the ore.  Tell me what you think about it.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: Please report to the bridge.

Eden_One says:
::stands and points to Tranya ::Tranya: Go to Eden and see my people and you will see for yourself how we live.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  At the moment, I have no idea if they can even recover from long-term exposure.  There's a good chance, I think, that these abilities may wear off with time.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::takes a look at the scans:: CSO: Looks like ore, sir.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
All:  It is obvious to me that someone here is either lying or misinformed.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  Can it wait, sir.  I'm in the middle of an important discussion.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO/CTO:  Dr. Fielding and Lt. Sanders are working on finding out more specifics, but we'll need to scan somebody who has been exposed to get some concrete answers.

CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CSO: So what exactly about this ore do you find fascinating?  I'm not a mineralogist, you know.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::rolls her eyes in a very non-vulcan way::  Hyde:  Thanks you can go now.  Seriously, look at what the ore DOES to someone.  How long would someone have to live and what kind of brain problems would it cause.

Eden_One says:
XO: Visit Eden for yourself and you will find the truth.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: We have some important information about the Maernite.

King_Traylor says:
Eden One: The way you live is you and your peoples choosing.  We did not force you to live there. ::Sighs.:: You and your people chose that.  Not me or the Queen.

CTO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, we could send a small team to the moon and get a full medical on several of their residents that way.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden: How you choose to live is not my concern. We of Torvald II have kept our agreements with you. ::tilts head slightly:: Maybe "someone" is taking advantage of your people. You best look internally.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CTO/CO:  Perhaps we can find some sort of treatment that can reverse the adverse effects of the substance.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
All: I am calling a short break.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: I believe that would violate the Prime Directive.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Please send a guard into the observation lounge.

Eden_One says:
::walks to the other side of the room then back:: All: Come to Eden and see for yourselves.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Nonetheless, I see this as a potential security risk to the Federation... if the unwanted side effects can be halted by means of medication of some sort, what if a threat species got a hold of the Maernite... and it's potential telepathic abilities.

CTO_Webster says:
*XO*: Sir, I have one posted there.  Mr. Rolen should be on guard.

CTO_Webster says:
*Rolen*: Status, please.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  If they ask for our help, then we are within our means to provide it.

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> *CTO*: They seem to be about to take a break, sir.

Eden_One says:
Tranya/Traylor: Then let us be free, to live and work and rule ourselves.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CTO*:  Thank you.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Rolen:  Please keep an eye on our... guests.

CTO_Webster says:
*Rolen*: Very good, thank you.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
All: Excuse me.

CTO_Webster says:
::stands even straighter:: XO: Aye, sir.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::exits the observation lounge onto the bridge::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Captain?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: *IF* they ask for our help, I would not have a problem assisting them.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::watches the XO enter::

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: We have some information on the Maernite. ::looks towards the CEO to relay the info to the XO::

Eden_One says:
::moves over to the king and whispers:: Traylor: Let my people go.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::thinks Eden is like the magician...."look what I am doing with this hand"....don't look at the other hand. She a quite a piece of work, that is for sure::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Well, I see no problem with encouraging them to ask for it...  I think we are in our bounds to tell them of the effects that these rocks are causing to them.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  <Informs the XO of everything she just told the Captain regarding the Maernite>

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: They may be well aware of the risks but choose to ignore them.

Amb_John_Sea says:
::consults the Prime Directive, General Order Number One::

King_Traylor says:
::Leans over to Eden One and whispers in return.:: Eden: You are a free people...

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> ::Steps closer to Eden and the King::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Feel free to share that information with our guests.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Captain, I think we should be inclined to do everything we can.  We can offer them a hand, but it's up to them to take it... and I understand that.
