Mission Summary: 10704.26
Host Glannen says:
The USS Don Johnson and the USS Musketeer are on their way to an uninhabited planet with an abundance of life however no sentient life forms.
Host Glannen says:
It has been determined that the aliens in the brig are the last known remaining descendents of an ancient race, long believed to be extinct.
Host Glannen says:
Should LCARS be correct, these survivors will be allowed to colonize this planet, with quarantine buoys placed in orbit to protect others from harm.

CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::wondering why the counselor keeps making the references to we::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::at helm preparing to orbit the planet::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
::Looking cautiously at the CO::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: How long Lt?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@::Watching as the ships approach the planet::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I find that your choice of words has changed a few times.  You referred to the aides as we...?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Captain, our ETA is 7 minutes.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Sending the other security officers to patrol, stays by T'Ponga and Chandra, listening::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I find that it implies that you are part of this.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Understood.  Let me know when we are in obit.  Send word to the Musketeer to maintain orbit with us as well.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Can you explain why your reference to them is we and us?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Musketeer/XO: Commander, we are 7 minutes out from the planet.  The captain wants you to maintain orbit with us once we establish.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: I was just referring to the fact that we are all living thinking beings, even if they live differently than us.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@COM: Don Johnson: FCO: Understood.  We will follow you into orbit, but we will go deeper into the atmosphere than you do.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I must be sure that you have not been compromised by them or that artifact and that you understand that you will not be going with them.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: XO: Understood, Commander.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Just because you disagree with their appetites doesn't make them any less important or equal than us.
Host Glannen says:
~~~~CNS: When will we be allowed to eat?~~~~
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I am not disagreeing with them eating but I am disagreeing with what they are doing to you and the fact that they did kill on this ship.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: So you would just dump them on a planet and forget about them? Very Starfleet of you sir.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@MFCO: When we make orbit, go to Z-50,000 and do a deep scan of the planet for sentient life or the possibility of it developing.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::watches Chandra’s body language closely::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: All they want is to live, would you deny them that?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@MFCO: Understood, sir.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Captain, the commander says they will follow us into orbit but will be going deeper into the atmosphere than we are.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I am putting them on a planet where they will survive but will not play party to a species that uses my crew for food or uses my crew to manipulate what they want.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Understood Lt. Good work.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Thank you, just doing my job, Captain.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: They are growing hungry now, they will surely die without food and you would be responsible for murdering sentient beings.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::enters into orbit around the planet:: *CO*: We have established orbit, Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I am not a cold-hearted person as you would like to think.  When it comes to this ship and her crew they are my primary concerns.  I am giving these aides a whole planet for their use.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
~~~Glannen: Shortly my friend, shortly~~~
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@<MFCO> XO: We have entered orbit and are doing the deep scans now.
Host Glannen says:
::nods slightly:: ~~~CNS: Thank you. ~~~
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: You can tell the aides that they will be beamed to the planet in short order.  We have entered orbit.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: And what of first contact, should we have a representative to guide them?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: You are to make sure that the aides and NOT the counselor leaves this ship.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Nice but not very trusting are we sir?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I will make arrangements for the Federation to send a science ship with some one on board to make the first contact as you put it but for now they are on their own.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: And if I were to resign my commission and decide to join then would you stop me?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@COM: Don Johnson: CO: Captain, deep scans show the planet is clear for your guests.  Energize when ready.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes I would based on the grounds that these aides and the artifact are influencing you.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Thank you Commander Stidd.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: And I am sure you have me forcibly detained then.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Lock on to the aides and transport them directly to the planet.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye Captain
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@MFCO: Take us back up to standard orbit + 10,000 and launch the quarantine buoy.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: If it comes to that yes but I am hoping that your reason will not permit you to make a grave mistake.  You are a valuable member of my crew.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@<MFCO> XO: Taking new positions and launching the buoy, aye.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Aye sir! ::locks on to the aids and initiates transport::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Steps closer to Chandra, moves her blade to the side, out of the way, readies to grab him is need be::
Host Glannen says:
ACTION: The Aides are transported to the planet's surface.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Your crew, the crew without freewill, I believe there is an ancient term for that, the Shanghaied crew....sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Raises an eyebrow at that::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@<MFCO>::Launches the buoy and listens for the message to begin playing::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I would ask you to reconsider your motives.  You are doing what they want and quite frankly I see no reason for you to resign your commission just to be with them unless they are needing to use you for something other than.......Excuse me Lieutenant?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::shakes her head in disbelief::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: And you will use whatever force is necessary to stop me, how far are you willing to go?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, what about the artifact?  Should we beam that also?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Shanghaied????? Lt. Chandra you will keep that to yourself. I do not Shanghai my crew.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Get that bloody artifact and either beam it to the surface or destroy it.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Gives him that 'look':: CNS: Chandra, I don't want to hurt you, but I will carry out my duty
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO/CO: I wouldn't recommend that, without it there will be nothing to stop them.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Or rather nothing to stop you.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye ::taps her badge:: *TO_Blake*: Get that artifact and stand by to beam it off ship.  Wait for my or the Captain's mark
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Stop them from what Lieutenant?
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: You said it yourself you don't want them wandering the galaxy, this is all that will stop them.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes if it is in your possession.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, the artifact is in the transporter room, awaiting your word.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Hold for now.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: It is true I have somehow been linked to it but does that mean I am controlled by it? Who is to say that if you destroy it you might seriously injure me?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Then you want me to let you go and lose a member of my crew again?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: And then what?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> ::moves up to the CNS and hold out her hand::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Permit them to use you and the secretes of the federation and what ever else?
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Isn't that the chance we all take when we join Starfleet?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: Please sir, hand over the artifact
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
TO: And if I hand it over and I am contaminated by it, then wouldn't you be also?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes but not on this ship.  It is bad enough I have to explain to the Federation Ambassadorial commission what happened to the Ambassador but also explain to the Board of Inquiry why I let my CNS leave the ship?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: That is why I have this with me ::indicates the containment box::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: If you wish, you can place it in here ::picks it up and holds it out::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Rest her hand on the hilt:: CNS: Please.  Don't make this harder than it has to be.  Besides, Chandra, what better way to prove to us that it isn't affecting you?
Host Glannen says:
~~~CNS: Are we to be left here without resources? We will need shelter, other than that, this planet will suffice.~~~
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: This is really something that needs to be discussed by the Federation Council and not you or I here.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: And lose out on valuable scientific research?
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: The beings are requesting shelter, will you provide it?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Tell these aides that I will give them shelter and supplies to sustain them on the planet but I will not give them the means to leave the planet.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: As for scientific research the Science division of Starfleet can send a ship equipped for that.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Maybe we can place it in a statasis unit until we can prove that it isn't harmful to either you or the aides.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Or the rest of us.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: If you are so worried you could just phaser me and take it, couldn't you?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@COM: Don Johnson: FCO: Have you transported the aliens off the ship yet?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: If I so order it she would but I don't want to do that Lieutenant.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: XO: Yes, Commander, we have.  They are on the planet.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: I could do that ::looks Chandra in the eye:: But not unless you make me.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Lift the quarantine and beam the XO over.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
@COM: Don Johnson: FCO: Permission to come aboard then?
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Then perhaps we should be on our way, once you provide the provisions and shelter.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Please Lieutenant be reasonable.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> ::holds the box, waiting::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*Transporter Chief*: Assemble basic planet side equipment, shelter and other items to be transported to the surface for the aids.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: XO: Permission granted, Commander.  The quarantine has been lifted. The captain just gave me the order to beam you aboard, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Now I have given the order so that they will have shelter and other items that they need to survive.
Host Glannen says:
<Transporter Chief> *CO:* Understood, consider it done.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*Transporter Room*: Please beam our new XO aboard, he is awaiting transport.
Host Glannen says:
ACTION: The materials are assembled and transported down.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Sir haven't you gotten everything you want the aliens are expelled with no means of escape on a quarantined planet. The farther away we get now the better it will be.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Well.............. ::moves her head to indicate Blake and the containment box::
Host Glannen says:
ACTION: The new XO is transported aboard.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: There it is done. Now please can we put this at an end. I have another problem that needs my attention.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Com the Musketeer and make all due haste away from here Warp 9.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Are you sure this little artifact will solve all your problems?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: The artifact?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: As long as it is out of your hands and not in theirs I am satisfied until a more detailed examination can be made.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Materializes on the bridge of the Don Johnson::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Musketeer: Musketeer this is the Don Johnson.  We have beamed Commander Stidd aboard.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks up as Commander Stidd materializes::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::engages at Warp 9::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: Sir?  If you would just put the artifact in here.  ::looks up at his face::  I promise to take care of it
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Very well but I must say that you and the crew’s handling of this whole situation might not be reflected in too good a light in my report.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Lieutenant?
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
FCO: Report, please.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
::Places the artifact in the box::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I am quite sure that you will write a thorough report and that you will be very detailed in it as well.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Commander Stidd, welcome aboard, sir.  We are heading away from the planet at warp 9 per the captain's orders.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Are you satisfied now sir?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Make sure that box is guarded round the clock till the science team can look at it.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes I am.  Now Lieutenant you may return to your assigned duties of making sure our crew keeps their wits about them.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: Thank you sir.  ::closes the lid carefully, glancing at Chandra:: See?  I won't hurt it at all
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: I must say sir, I am disappointed in the level of trust you show in a fellow member of Starfleet.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
FCO: set course for 118.43 by 93.6 by 266.9
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye.  TO_Blake: You heard the Captain.  Have Beta team 2 take watch.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: When my trust is given, then you will know but the fact that your error in your choice of words gave me suspect and there for my trust in you wavered.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
TO: You may destroy it for all I care, I was testing the mental capacities of the crew with this rouse, that's all.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Takes the center seat until the captain returns or calls for him::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Aye sir 118.43 by 93.6 by 266.9.  May I ask where we are going?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: This was no test Lt.  And I must say that I am dismayed at your lack of confidence in your captain.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
<TO_Blake> CNS: Hmmmmmm, ::smiles at him and moves away::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: As am I in your lack of your counselor, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
FCO: I will brief the CO and she can brief the crew as needed.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Am I dismissed sir? I have quite the report to fill out.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye sir.  Stay at warp 9?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Watches Blake move off.  T'ioask joins her::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: The trust I place in my crew is my own and in your case you caused it to waver.  Had you used the correct choice in words that trust would still be there.  However, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::keeps quiet and takes in both Chandra and T'Ponga's body language::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: I have no artifact and no aliens, what could I possibly do now?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I trust your judgment and please in the future don't test my mental prowess.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Nods to the FCO::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: You do have a job and that is to see to this crews mental needs.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Understood, staying at warp 9.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: And I saw the need to test yours sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: For the mean time, I need your expertise in the medical field as our CMO is departing with our XO mainly my husband and I am not happy with that at all.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Tilts head as she listens to Chandra::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Very well sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Test my what?
Host Glannen says:
ACTION: Stidd receives an incoming message from Sector Command.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*FCO*: Is the new XO on the bridge?
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Mental needs sir.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CO*:Yes sir.  He is.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: I see that you and I are going to have something to talk about soon.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Incoming message from Sector Command, Commander.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: I will be in my quarter’s sir. Please feel free to set an appointment with me sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*XO*: Welcome aboard Cmdr Stidd.  I will be there shortly.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Your quarters do not need you Sickbay does.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: You may return to your station and thank you.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
FCO: I will take it in the Ready Room.  *CO*: Thank you captain.  I will be in the RR taking a message.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::heads for the turbo lift and the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Gets up and heads to the RR::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::hears the message from the new XO and is not happy::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: Using my ready room for a message?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Aye sir, routing it to the ready room. ::routes the message::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Computer: Bridge express
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CO: Very well sir, I will report momentarily after a quick to in my quarters.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye Captain ::moves back a step, but looks at Chandra::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Computer: Computer, play message, please.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Chandra, hold up a minute, would you?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: Of all the hair brained things to do.  Starfleet must be nuts and really stupid to tear up a family like this and then to take my CMO to boot.  That is just plain stupid.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: Very well.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::storms out of the lift::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Where is the XO?  And find my husband too.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Reads message::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Never mind just find Mark.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Moves over to Chandra:: CNS: Could I walk with you to sickbay?  I've got a crick in my shoulder that just won't go away.  I was going to have the Doc look at it, but.........::trails off::
Host Glannen says:
<Computer> ::Image of Admiral Melanie Hamilton:: Commander Stidd, welcome to the USS Don Johnson, I'm sure that the crew and her Captain will make you welcome. Your talents and expertise will be welcome there as well.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::walks into her ready room::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Captain, Commander Stidd is in the Ready Room taking a message from Sector Command, Commander Arca is getting ready to depart for the Musketeer, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Excuse me Commander Stidd but this is my ready room.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: I need to get a few pieces of equipment from my quarters before I report. I will meet you there shortly.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::has a thought::
Host Glannen says:
<Computer> XO: Commander, you should download the attached file and share it with Captain Arca. It contains your next assignment. The coordinates you were given will lead you to a newly discovered Class - M planet. You are to assess the planet for colonization.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*CTO*: Make sure the transporters are offline for now.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Notes the CO enter the RR:: CO: You will be interested in this as well, sir. ::Points to the computer and message::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Looks thoughtful:: *CO*: On it Captain
Host Glannen says:
ACTION: Message ends.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: And the trust still flourishes I see.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
::Shaking his head::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*TO_Nightlinger*: Take transporters off-line until further notice
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: A class M planet newly discovered?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Chandra, I don't think this is for you.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Computer: computer, download and display attached file.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
*CTO*: Make sure the Transporter Chief does the level one diagnostic on them
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
CTO: As you say. I will get my medical gear and meet you in sickbay::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::walks along with him, following him:: *CO*: Aye
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Yes, and this file is for our viewing.
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
::Departs from the CTO::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
::looks at the new XO::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I want to know who in the hell thought it was funny to break up a family?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::informs Nightlinger:: CNS: Well, there is one other thing......for the ships counselor that is.  It's about the time we were in the holodecks.  Just before the wedding
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Turns the computer console so the CO can see it::
CNS_Lt_Chandra says:
::Enters his quarters and locks the door. Walks over to his safe opening it and picks up the real artifact, Smiling::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I will look at it in a moment.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::follows at a slight distance::
