King_Traylar says:
::Looks to the Queen and then to the others.  Sighs and then stares blankly out the view port.::

FCO_Grayson says:
Okay...almost got it... ::beeps can be heard from the helm console:: Okay...yes!  Noooo!!!  Stupid evil pretzel-shaped configuration.....

CTO_Webster says:
::at Tactical, scanning for nearby ships, vessels, anything::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::waits for the meaning of his statement to set in::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::places palms on table and rises::  XO/Eden/King/Queen:  Ladies... Gentlemen.  If you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to.  ::tries to hold back a smirk, for she has an excuse to leave while Torgh is stranded still::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::In Med Bay with some docs, trying to figure out how to cure what that dumb rock does.::

FCO_Grayson says:
::sighs:: How the heck did they get it like this?

TO_Julius says:
::In Holodeck 2, performing training sessions::

King_Traylar says:
::Nods to the CEO but doesn't look, still stares out the view port.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::exits the observation lounge and walks onto the bridge, happy to know that the conversation in there is no longer her concern::

FCO_Grayson says:
::gives up for now:: CTO: See anything interesting out there?

CTO_Webster says:
::straightens up:: FCO: Not really.  Although I detect an ion storm headed this way.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::extends hands outward, taking in the site of the bridge::  All:  Anyone seen that guy with four pips... goes by the name of Captain or something.  Wanted to see me... yadda, yadda, yadda?

FCO_Grayson says:
CTO: Wow...sounds like fun...

FCO_Grayson says:
CEO: You mean the guy with the red collar, sits in that chair over there?  ::points at the Big Chair::

Eden_One says:
::frowns, wondering if this will lead to anywhere::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::sits quietly::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::places hand just above her waist::  FCO:  Yeah... about this tall.  I think?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::exits his ready room and steps onto the bridge::

CTO_Webster says:
All: Captain on the bridge.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::snaps finger::  FCO:  Yeah, that guy... ::points at CO::

FCO_Grayson says:
CEO: Oh right, him!

CTO_Webster says:
::stares at the FCO and CEO, who should act more respectful when the captain enters the bridge::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::steps up and meets the CO at the center of the bridge::  CO:  You asked for me, Captain?

Host Captain_Grift says:
:: sits down in 'the big chair' and looks up towards the CEO::

King_Traylar says:
::Turns his attention to the Queen and smiles.  Then frowns as he looks over at Eden One, then turns to the XO, still frowning.::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::clasps hands behind her back::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: I need some ideas... ::looks around the bridge towards everyone present:: How can we resolve this issue between the Edenites and Torvald?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King/Queen:  If you want to join the Federation, you must settle your differences with Eden and her people.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::searches for cure.... and searches... and searches.... she's no doc, give her a break!::

CTO_Webster says:
CO: I'm not up on everything that has gone on, sir.

FCO_Grayson says:
CO: Me neither, sir.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
XO: So, what are your suggestions on the subject?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::brings both hands back around and crosses them across her chest::  CO:  Well, the biggest problem is getting both sides to agree... on anything.

Eden_One says:
::looks at the XO, hoping he has an idea::

King_Traylar says:
XO: The Eden are a different people.... ::Says a bit rudely.:: Commander.  Their affairs are separate from ours.  They rule over themselves as we do our people.

Host Captain_Grift says:
All: You should all read the reports Commander Sanders has been filing.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Apparently, the marenite seems to be the one resource that the Edenites have that the Torvald people want.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Queen:  For one, you can let Eden set their own prices.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  The Edenites complain that Torvald isn't paying enough for that resource... and apparently, they aren't open to trading with other worlds for some strange reason.

Eden_One says:
::turns to glare at the King, but says nothing, as she listens to the XO::

King_Traylar says:
XO: Would you let the Ferengi set their own prices if they had something you depended on?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*CO*:  Sanders to Grift... I have a report, sir.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  I've already directly proposed some solutions in the conference room... but they seem to go ignored.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*CSO*: Go ahead.

Eden_One says:
King: If it was theirs, as you say the maernite is ours.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  We don't control the Ferengi.  If they price something too high, I'd negotiate.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::looks at the King and then the XO::

TO_Julius says:
::Finishes up with the sim as he's scheduled for another post in the conference room, guarding the negotiations::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  I believe that the marenite can be extracted using safer mining methods... but I'm unsure whether the Edenites have the resourc- ::stops as the CSO begins to speak::

Eden_One says:
::nods in agreement:: XO: Exactly.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Is it your belief the two peoples have no interest in working together?

CTO_Webster says:
::listens attentively, trying to understand what is going on::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*CO*:  There is no cure that we can find, sir.  Perhaps they simply shouldn't live there anymore.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  From what I've seen, they can't seem to get past their hatred for each other...

Host Captain_Grift says:
*CSO*: Understood. I don't think they would agree to that arrangement however.

Eden_One says:
XO: Isn't it customary for the seller to set prices, and if the buyer wants it, they purchase the item?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
*CO*:  Understood... sorry, sir, but we're drawing blanks.

King_Traylar says:
::Gets very tired of this as he's had to do this time and time again with the Eden and gets up and slams his fist on the table.:: ALL: I demand that a JAG Officer, or a Federation Council Member rule on this!  From what little I know about Federation Rules... You are only here to deliver the delegation and can not dictate the rules as to how our...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Quite frankly, I believe that the Federation is wasting its time here.  Whatever suggestions have been made thus far, conveniently have something from keeping them from happening.

King_Traylar says:
ALL: How our application gets to the Federation Council or not. ::Clears his throat and sits, fuming.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: In that case Torvald II is probably not ready for admission to the Federation.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  Sir, if they can't handle their own kind, I have a hard time seeing them fit within the Federation.

Eden_One says:
XO: You see, Commander.  This is the King's typical reaction when he doesn't get the response he wants.

TO_Julius says:
::Arrives on the Bridge, approaches CTO:: CTO: Simulations are completed sir, I'm going to go replace Ensign Draconis now.

King_Traylar says:
::Glares at Eden... If looks alone could kill, she'd be dead.::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::looks to the King:: King: Please, calm yourself. ::smiles at him::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Maybe we can put a little pressure on them...

King_Traylar says:
::Looks to the Queen and can't help but to smile to.  Nods.::

CTO_Webster says:
TO: Wait a few more minutes, Ensign.  Please do a scan of the sector for incoming/outgoing ships or communications.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  There are solutions... but they don't seem to want to hear them.  Perhaps the easiest solution would be to simply report back to the Federation Council on the situation and recommend that they send a stronger... statement.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::leaves med bay and gets into TL::  Bridge.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  Very well. Torvald II will not be accepted into the Federation.

TO_Julius says:
CTO: Very well, sir. ::Scans the sector for ships and communiqué::

FCO_Grayson says:
::nods in agreement with the CEO::

Eden_One says:
::eyes widen, as she realizes the Federation may not be able to help her people, they may just give up on Torvald and its problems::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::straightens:: XO: I think we can negotiate with Eden. ::slips the King a look::

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: Commander Sanders, please inform our guests that we will be leaving orbit soon. We have been called away to another assignment.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::shifts her weight from one leg to another::  CO:  Well... the marenite seems to be key to the whole thing.

King_Traylar says:
::Gets up and looks at the XO.:: XO: I want an entire record of this meeting and your words sent to the Federation Council.

CTO_Webster says:
CO: Just in time, sir, I've been keeping an eye on an ion storm.  It's coming this way and fast.  Should arrive in approximately 30 minutes.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::grabs the Kings sleeve and pulls gently but firmly to make him sit::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.  I have just informed the King and Queen that they will not be accepted into the Federation at this time.  There are too many issues between them and the people of the mining moon.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::enters Bridge and nods to the CO before going to SCI1::

Eden_One says:
XO: I know we aren't Federation citizens, but is there nothing you can do to help the Edenites?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  I would be glad to send them one.  I'm sure they'll have the same answer for you as I do.

King_Traylar says:
::Is irate now, screams furiously.:: Captain: I have requested that your Commander have a Judge Advocate General Officer or a Federation Council Member Judge upon something.  And now he has the gall to say that my membership has been denied!

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::sits down in the chair to the Captain's left::  CO:  At least we can leave orbit knowing that we managed to give them something that they didn't have before... the cause of what's troubling Eden's people.

King_Traylar says:
::Looks at the XO.:: XO: I don’t think so.... Commander...

CTO_Webster says:
::looks over at Tas:: CSO: Tas, there is an ion storm heading this way.  I'm sending the sensor info to your station.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: Agreed.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  That is all... your majesty.

TO_Julius says:
CTO: No ships or communications in the area sir. They're probably all staying away from that storm.

King_Traylar says:
XO: I demand to speak to a Federation Council Member or a Judge Advocate General Officer now!

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Sometimes people are just not ready for peace...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CTO:  Great, thanks!  At last something I know about!  ::looks at the data and the sensors::

Eden_One says:
::sighs, as the meetings have gone far worse than she could have imagined::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  There's plenty of examples of that on your planet alone... as well as all the worlds in the Federation.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  Captain, the King is... demanding... to speak with a Federation council member or a JAG officer.  Can we oblige him?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::stands:: XO: Thank you for your consideration. ::plans to have a talk with the King later::

Eden_One says:
King/Queen: We had hoped to resolve our differences, but you don't seem amenable to any suggestions.  Therefore, if we can negotiate with offworlders for our ore, we shall.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: I'm afraid not. We will report all of this to the Federation, they may choose to send someone else at a later date.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  Thank you captain.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  You heard him.

Eden_One says:
::stands:: XO: I take it we are finished here.  If you could please transport me back to the moon?

King_Traylar says:
XO: I demand to be sent back home... NOW!!!

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden_One: We will talk once we have returned.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CSO:  Tas... is there any indication that this ion storm will interfere in anyway with the people of Torvald and Eden?  Perhaps we should warn them before we leave.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::escorts his guests to the transporter room::

Eden_One says:
Queen: You may come to Eden, if you wish to discuss things further.

King_Traylar says:
Self: One moment one of the Federations Delegation... An Ambassador no less.. Say's we are going to be accepted...  Then a little Commander says we're not. ::Shakes his head in anger and frustration.::

TO_Julius says:
CTO: So, should I go replace the Ensign yet?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden_One: If you truly want to negotiate you will come to Torvald II and speak with me.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
King:  Perhaps if your people were better suited to negotiate peace, you would have had better luck.

Eden_One says:
Queen: We've tried that, and tried it here with the Federation, now it's time to talk on 'my' world.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:  Nope, just a normal storm.  No problems that I can see.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters the transporter room with the three guests in tow::

Eden_One says:
::trails after the XO and walks onto the transporter padd::

Eden_One says:
XO: Thank you for your effort, Commander.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden_One: You have not spoken with me on this matter. But it is up to you, things may change for you and your people or they can remain the same. ::becomes indifferent::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Eden:  I am sorry that I could not help you at this time, Eden.  I truly hope you can work things out with the people of Torvald.

Eden_One says:
::frowns:: Queen: Are you and the King not negotiating together?  We have spoken to him about it numerous times.

Eden_One says:
XO: Thank you.

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Send a report off to HQ detailing the situation here.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::taps in some commands on the nearby console, initiates a level 4 diagnostic on the warp drive::

CTO_Webster says:
TO: Anything on scans, Ensign?

TO_Julius says:
CTO: No ships or communications in the area sir. They're probably all staying away from that storm.

FCO_Grayson says:
CO: Aye sir

King_Traylar says:
::Doesn't look to anyone, just stands there fuming.::

FCO_Grayson says:
::spins back around to his console and gets to work::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks behind her for a moment... thinking that she just heard that sentence from the TO.  Shakes it off::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
Eden_One: Of course the King and I speak but we are of different factions, as you well know.

TO_Julius says:
CTO: So, will I be required to replace the Ensign? Or are the negotiations over?

CTO_Webster says:
TO: Thank you.  Go ahead and relieve Draconis.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
::make mental note not to forget to have that "talk" with the King::

Eden_One says:
::nods and begins to speak with the Queen, but feels herself transported::

Eden_One says:
::smiles, as she has been sent home::

TO_Julius says:
CTO: Thank you sir. Where are the delegates and the Commander located at this point?

FCO_Grayson says:
::finishes up the report and sends it to HQ:: CO: Report sent, Captain.

CTO_Webster says:
*Draconis*: <w> Where are you, Ensign?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::nods head after seeing the results of the diagnostic, then turns her head towards Grift::  CO:  Any news on our next assignment?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: Nothing from HQ yet, but I'm sure something will come down the wire soon.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::sends the king and queen home, even though he'd rather not::

King_Traylar says:
@::Arrives on his planet, and quickly sends a message to Starfleet Command, the nearest Judge Advocate Generals Office, and the Federation Council of all this predicament that he's found his people in.  Lodges a formal complaint about the XO's decision too.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Prepare to leave orbit.

FCO_Grayson says:
CO: Yes sir.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::shimmers onto planet and has her coach take her to her palace::

FCO_Grayson says:
::plots a course away from the planet and waits for the captain's order::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CO*:  Captain, our guests have been returned to their respective homes.

Eden_One says:
%::talks to her second in command:: 2nd: We need to start negotiation with other worlds.  The Queen might be receptive to talks, but the King isn't interested at all.

Host Captain_Grift says:
*XO*: Understood.

King_Traylar says:
@::Finishes his message to the Federation Council, Starfleet Command and the nearest JAG Officer, while looking calm and collected.  Then ends the message and starts throwing a tantrum.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::leaves the TR and heads for a turbolift::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  I could do the Federation a favor and "accidently" remove Torvald from the star charts...  ::has hand hover over console::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters a TL::  Computer: Bridge.

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Set a course for the nearest Starbase and engage at Warp 5.

CTO_Webster says:
TO: Ensign, since the delegates have departed, please stay at TAC 2.

FCO_Grayson says:
CO: Aye, Captain...

Host Captain_Grift says:
CEO: I don't think that would be wise...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO:  You're right, sir.  Some poor ship might accidently run into it.

FCO_Grayson says:
::lays in the course and breaks orbit from Torvald II, engaging the warp drive as soon as they're away::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::enters the bridge and walks to his chair, plopping down on it hard::

TO_Julius says:
<TO_Draconis> *CTO*: We're in Transporter Room sir, but it doesn't matter, the XO has sent our guests home.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at her husband::

CTO_Webster says:
*Draconis*: Understood.  Please report to your station.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks over at his wife and gives her a tired smile::

FCO_Grayson says:
::turns around and smiles, trying to sound cheerful:: All: Well, I think that went well...

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::arrives at palace and sits in her room considering everything::

FCO_Grayson says:
::well not really...::

King_Traylar says:
@::Goes to his sauna calms down after a good dip.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: I wish we could've helped those people resolve their differences.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: Sir... next time anyone wants to join the Federation, I'm taking leave.

FCO_Grayson says:
::nods::

TO_Julius says:
<TO_Draconis> *CTO*: Yes, sir.

TO_Julius says:
CTO: Orders, sir?

CEO_Tomiaz says:
CO/FCO:  In an ideal world, perhaps that'd be possible.  Then again, in an ideal world, they wouldn't even have such problems.

CTO_Webster says:
TO: Run a diagnostic on the phaser array, Ensign.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Perhaps you should just challenge them to a bat'leth battle... that would be a lot less hassle.  ::grins::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::chuckles at her husbands comment then sighs and sits back, hoping he's calmed down now.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Most definitely... I don't know why I didn't think of that.  ::smirks::

Eden_One says:
%Eden_OPS: Contact the Queen, please, Simon.

TO_Julius says:
CTO: Yes sir. ::Begins work on the phaser array::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::coughs::  CO/XO:  I think it'd be too hard to hammer anything out with them laughing at the Commander's backhand...  ::stifles a laugh::

Eden_One says:
%<Eden_OPS> *Queen*: This is Eden.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  How would you like to be an ensign for the rest of your life?  I can make it happen.  ::smiles with a playful wink::

TO_Julius says:
::Frowns, then speaks quietly to the CTO:: CTO: Sir, perhaps I read the database wrong, but don't we have some prototype weapon system to test in the nearby asteroid belt or something? Shouldn't we be doing that?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::snickers:

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@*Eden OPS*: This is Queen Tranya. Go ahead.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::looks up::  XO:  Oh... Commander.  I was accidently flushing the EPS conduits and one of them filled your quarters up with plasma.

CTO_Webster says:
::turns and looks at the TO:: TO: Ensign, I see you didn't read the reports of this mission prior to your arrival.  We performed those tests.  You can find the results in the database.

FCO_Grayson says:
::snickers::

Eden_One says:
%*Queen*: This is Eden.  Are you serious about negotiating separately from the King?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  That's okay.  I rerouted the ventilation system to your quarters.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CEO:   Hey now... you're picking on the both of us.  Don't make me sick Root Beer on you.

TO_Julius says:
::Grins, a tad embarrassed:: CTO: To tell you the truth sir I didn't get a chance to check over the mission briefing this morning. It's been a busy day. I apology.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@*Eden*: As I told you before I will be glad to speak with you.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  No... no... wait.  How 'bout, I suggest you don't use the turbolifts anymore.  They're having a nasty problem that whenever Klingon life signs are detected in them, it causes them to go in circles for an hour before letting you right back off at the same location you got on at?

FCO_Grayson says:
CEO: Stop picking on the poor commander, Steph

CTO_Webster says:
::nods:: TO: Very well, as long as it doesn't happen again.  While the diagnostic is running on the array, why don't you take the time to read the reports?

King_Traylar says:
@::Calms down.:: *Queen*: This is the King.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::rises from chair, making her way towards the turbolift::  XO:  Commander... if you once again need a lesson in the finer points of the good blade, it can be arranged.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Hmm... perhaps a few more years at the academy for you.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::watches the banter... what's going on here?::

Eden_One says:
%*Queen*: Very well.  Let me know when is convenient for you. ::sounds skeptical::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@*King*: One moment please.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
XO:  There's no need to hide your frustrations with your lack of skill behind those empty threats.  ::giggles::

King_Traylar says:
@::Raises and eyebrow, wondering why he's being put on hold, as he's never been put on hold before.:: *Queen* Yes...

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@*Eden*: I have some business to attend to with the King and then we will speak together. I will be in touch soon. ::closes session with Eden::

CEO_Tomiaz says:
FCO:  Please inform the Starbase that I'll be requesting a replacement batch of self sealing stem bolts.  The ones sitting in the cargo bay appear defective.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Empty, huh?  I hope you're not too surprised when you get to your quarters and find your bags all packed.  ::grins::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::looks around the bridge and get a sense that the crew is relieved they've left Torvald II behind::

Eden_One says:
%::sighs as the Queen cuts the comm. - typical::

FCO_Grayson says:
CEO: Self sealing stem bolts?

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@*King*: I am here and I suggest you bring yourself "here" post haste.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::nods head::

King_Traylar says:
@::Grumbles.:: *Queen*: On my way... ::Sighs and heads out.::

CTO_Webster says:
::takes over the sensor scans, as the TO is busy reading and diagnosing::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::sits back, rather pleased with herself and calls for some refreshments to be brought::

FCO_Grayson says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: Okay.... ::swivels back around to face the helm::

King_Traylar says:
@::Arrives at the Queens palace and knocks at the door to the room she's in.::

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@ Enter.

King_Traylar says:
@::Enters and finally smiles when he sees the Queen.:: Queen: Hello...

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::mutters in fluent Klingon::  XO:  Only the weak hide behind words.

CEO_Tomiaz says:
::steps into turbolift::

FCO_Grayson says:
::puts in the request to the Starbase, wondering what the CEO would need them for::

CTO_Webster says:
::hears a beep and looks at her console:: Self: Hmmm, 6.9% variance in the phaser array.  I guess Engineering will have something to play with when we get to the Starbase.

Host Queen_Tranya says:
@::almost smiles but doesn't:: King: Have a seat. ::gestures to a chair and sees the refreshments arrive::

King_Traylar says:
@::Nods and sits.::
