Mission Summary 11003.11

The USS Don Johnson has arrived at Betazed and an away team has been assembled.

No scans have revealed the location of the youths and the Ambassador in charge of looking for them is beginning to worry.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::sits at the engineering bridge officer station reviewing the complaint by the ops officer whose name he can't pronounce;:

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@::pacing on the landing pad wondering where the kids are, where the shuttle is and what in the stars could be taking the Federation team so long to assemble.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::exits the shuttle:: Amb_Maltek: My name is Commander Dynar Lemmick, Executive Officer, USS Don Johnson.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::walks into main engineering and pulls up the warp drive status display logs to review the overall performance of the drive over their journey to Betazed::

OPS_Truus says:
@::steps uneasily out of the shuttle, following the more experienced T'lait and Haisin::

CMO_LtJg_Hogan says:
::is preparing biobeds and restocking her stores::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Moves up to just behind and to the side of Lemmick, trusting her people to square the teams::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Norris: Break out the gear and set up a command post. ::turns his attention back to the Ambassador::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::looks up the CO wondering if she'll take it seriously::

TO Norris says:
@XO: Aye

TO Haisin says:
@OPS: You look nervous. ::gives Truus a slap on the back:: OPS: Relax. The 'fun' hasn't even started yet.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Problem, Ensign?

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@::hurries over to the crew:: XO: What in blazes took so long?  Just because the civil authorities here do not believe this situation is urgent, my superiors and I do. 

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: This AOPS officer at the shuttle bay ma'am.  Giving me heartburn.

OPS_Truus says:
@::grumbles at Haisin and moves into position::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Amb: My apologies Ambassador. We got here as soon as we could. What's the current status of the Search?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Why is that, Ensign?

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@ALL:  This way...::takes the XO by the elbow and starts leading him toward an awaiting ground car:: ...The local constabulary has seen fit to allow two teams to aid in the search to "humor" me.  They're waiting this way.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Watches the ambassador and the body language::

OPS_Truus says:
@::looks at the Ambassador manhandling Lemmick:: T'lait: Are all ambassadors this rude?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: I'm not sure what proper procedure is, but disabling the emergency force fields on the shuttle bay doors is never the right answer in my opinion.  ::taps at some random thing at his console::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::gives the CTO a check him out look,backround::

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: Still no sign of them other than their school communication devices.  They left their uniform jackets behind.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: What exactly happened?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Amb: When was the last time anyone had any contact with them?

TO T’lait says:
@OPS: It would seem that this ambassador could be under some pressure ::glances around:: 

OPS_Truus says:
@::nods and follows the XO::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::nods slightly to Lemmick::

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: Four days now... there is an abundance of edibles out there and fresh water if you can find it.  But that's not enough for my liking.

aOPS T’Laos says:
::enters the bridge::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: I sounded the alarm that a shuttle is preparing for departure and inadvertently tripped the doors.  I moved her out of ... ::stops talking as the aOPS enters the bridge::

TO T’lait says:
@ OPS: Once the missing children are found the ambassador should become much more relaxed

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Amb: Where the kids on break or heading home for the day?

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: The problem is the two boys have "disappeared" like this in the past and the constabulary believes that this is another stunt.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Walks with Lemmick and the ambassador::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Amb: what you mean "Disappeared"?

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: Ma'am. I believe Ensign Garlingus is lying. By my perception, he -intentionally- pressed the airlock control button. Forcefields or no, he should not have done that.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::increases her step and listens:: 

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: They were through for the day...and the boys have never taken anyone with them when they've gone off on their own.  It took them being missing for 24 hours before the authorities locked down space traffic, all because of past acts.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::raises both eyebrows and stands in defiance:: aOPS: I beg your pardon??  CO: Captain, you can't be believing this.  ::taps at his console sending brief wordy alert to the CEO::

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: History may be something you can base a pattern of behavior on, but there are other factors.  Such as these negotiations going on at this time, this kind of distraction could be disastrous.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices an alert text appear on his panel::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aOPS/EO: Enough, both of you!  We have more important things to do. Attend to your duties and send me a written report of the incident.

aOPS T’Laos says:
EO: I remember quite clearly, sir, that you asked "What does this button do?" and then pressed it... ::sigh:: CO: Sorry, ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Amb: So they could have gotten on a shuttle before they locked down all space traffic?! ::shakes his head:: CTO: Commander...informed the Don Johnson. Have them check all outgoing space traffic...passenger manifests and everything.

OPS_Truus says:
@::listens intently to Maltek::

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: These are the planetary security teams that will be helping you.  Major Loray, Corporal Vlad, Lieutenant Sang and Corporal Marsh.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@XO: Aye sir ::steps back and contacts the ship:: *DJ* : Fowler to Don Johnson

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::takes a very long deep breath and nods to the Captain:: CO: Yes captain.  ::looks back at the displays he has to stand for::

EO Reese says:
 ::Walks into his quarters after having a few drinks with some buddies::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO": Go ahead, Commander.

aOPS T’Laos says:
::quietly goes over to the OPS console::

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@XO: That's my worry, with 4 days they could be anywhere.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Amb: Thank you Ambassador...If you will excuse me. We don’t have any time to lose.

OPS_Truus says:
@Amb: We were told they were last seen in the jungle. Who saw them?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@*CO*: Captain, we have just been informed that the missing youth may have gotten to a shuttle and off planet before the shuttle ports went on lock down

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pulls up the remote shuttle displays and checks the system status::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@All: As you all know these children ::holds a PADD with the pictures up:: have been missing for 4 days now. They were missing 24 hours before all space traffic was locked down so they could be any where at this point.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: I see. We'll check for any outgoing shuttles from the planet.

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@ ::nods and rakes his hands through his hair:: OPS: Several other students were with them at first.  But Nyx, Zoey and Aphrodite felt they were going too far in and returned to the school.  They reported them on their return.  

OPS_Truus says:
@Amb: How long ago was that?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@*CO*: We're about ready to head out now Captain.  We'll report in at that time

EO Reese says:
::picks up three old earth throwing darts from his end table, rolls them about in his hand::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: Very well, Don Johnson out.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aOPS: Crewman T'Laos, check whether there have been any shuttles leaving the surface before all air traffic was locked down.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@All: Any suggestion you have, bring them to either my self or Commander Fowler here. We are going to find them, ALIVE. I have faith in all of you. Let's work as a team and find them yesterday. Dismissed!

EO Reese says:
 ::Begins to throw the darts, one by one at his dart board hanging on the wall opposite his bed.  covering the dart board is a picture of the XO::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@*CO*: Fowler out

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::decides to run some long range scans to "test" the sensor array looking for Betazoid shuttle signatures:: 

Host Amb_Maltek says:
@ ::curses:: All:  I forgot to mention that Zoey said that Blaize was acting unusual.  She didn't explain or couldn't explain, but she was worried.  ...  OPS: About an hour after they got back, Nyx had a feeling that something wasn't right since Kaspar had promised they would be back by then.

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: Yes ma'am. ::scans the system for departures from Betazed::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@XO: They're going to run the search on the shuttles that left before the lockdown.  I told the captain that we'd report when we head out

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aOPS: See if any of them might have had our four missing youths on it.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@CTO: You wanna take that one or care to get your hands dirty?

OPS_Truus says:
@::glances at T'lait and Haisin:: What now?

EO Reese says:
::looks at the dart board and smiles, one dart in each eye, and one on the tip of the XO's nose::

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: That's what I'm doing. But if they went off-planet, they might have done so discreetly... we'd never find them.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aOPS: True, but do your best.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
TO Bits: Assist T'Laos in any way you can.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::runs short range scans on the planets within the system to see for any habitation and or recent shuttle signatures::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@XO: I don't mind getting dirty Commander

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::checks his phaser:: CTO: Think you can keep up?

TO T’lait says:
@OPS: Now we go to work

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Grins:: XO: I'll make sure to look back and keep an eye on you, sir

OPS_Truus says:
@T'lait: Oh goodie.

TO Haisin says:
@ OPS: Don't worry, just stay with us. We know what we're doing.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::runs a system diagnostic in the meantime and decides to run some on the medical equipment in sickbay:: *CMO*: Bridge to Lieutenant Hogan.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@Major: I want you and Vlad, Sang and Marsh to start with the school children. Understood?

TO Bits says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am

TO Bits says:
::goes over to T'Laos::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@ Major: Interview them, talk to the teachers and parents. Report back when you’re done.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices a very active engineering bridge console...  notices who is logged into that console and smiles::  

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::motions to her people to ready and split into the teams::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CMO*: Lieutenant, how are those biobeds doings?  I noticed that we received an upgrade on some of the sensor pallets and was wondering if you had a chance to test them out yet.  ::activates the sickbay cameras to see if anyone is there:: *CMO*: Bridge to Lieutenant Hogan, are you there?

CMO_LtJg_Hogan says:
*EO*:Hogan Here

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@OPS: Ready to get your hands dirty, Ensign?

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: Ma'am, five ships left Betazed before the lockdown. All going different places. One bound for Orion returned when the news of the missing children got out.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
aOPS: Did they have any unusual passengers that might fit our missing kids?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CMO*: I'm sorry to interrupt you Lieutenant, this is Ensign Garlingus from the Engineering Department, I believe we've met once.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@*CO*:We’re about to head in to start our search captain. Planetary Security is going to start interviewing the school children.

CMO_LtJg_Hogan says:
::emerges from her office stores with several bottles in her hand::

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: One moment. ::checks the passenger manifests of the ones that went to DS102::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: Very well, report what you find.

OPS_Truus says:
@CTO: Ready as I'll ever be.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::whispers:: CTO: What do you make of the Ambassador?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@:: Checks Truus' equipment and gives him a pat on the shoulder:: OPS: Then let's do it

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@*CO*:Understood...anything on the passenger manifests or anything?

CMO_LtJg_Hogan says:
*EO*: I know who you are, Ensign. We were having a drink in the bar on our last shore leave.. What were you saying about the sensor pallets?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: We're checking on that now.  Nothing unusual as yet.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps at his consoles bringing up the biobed displays as his relief for the bridge station walks in. *CMO*: I was just wondering if you had a chance to take the new biobed upgrades out for a spin yet.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@*CO*:Ambassador Maltek has been acting unusual. He said this isn't the first time these two boys haven't gone "Missing".

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::nods to T'lait and Haisin::

aOPS T’Laos says:
CO: I'm double-checking on some ships that were bound for DS102, but all others seem accounted for.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*XO*: So they might be just going for a joy ride?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks around the engine room and smiles at the blissfully quiet and non-eventful routine, puts his feet up on a console and laces his fingers behind his head, feeling very content::

OPS_Truus says:
@CTO: Should I stay close to you?
