USS Pandora

First Steps

As the USS Pandora approaches the Reicha system in the early stages of investigating the status of their civilization, the civilization has just made a huge leap before the Pandora's eyes. They crossed the Warp Threshold.

CO_Capt_Adams :
:: sitting in the Captain's Chair on the Bridge ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: standing at tactical as stoic as ever ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: On Bridge, scanning the ship's status. ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: at her console monitoring communications and ships systems ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: so, this warp capability changes the whole picture... fortunately for us, I would add... :: raises an eyebrow ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: turns to OPS :: OPS: How's our universal translator doing with their language?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: We've been able to translate most of it Captain.
CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: Yes, it certainly does change things... reminds me of a story I heard back at the Academy about Human's first encounter....

ACTION: On screen, several small ships begin travelling towards the warp ship.

SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: :: nods :: indeed... A fascinating one. And many more came after that one...

CO_Capt_Adams :
SC: and unfortunately, some of them went "south."
OPS_Lt_Xetani : 
:: presses her finger to her earpiece ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor : 
CO: Sir? Does that mean we should perhaps send a shuttle and appear on their planet like the Vulcans did when they first encountered humans? What is good for the tar'g is good for the targh?
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: ::Nods:: But we still need to be well hidden from any peering eyes, or whatever they have to see with?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Sir, the transmissions are getting more excited.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CTO: We could do so, but that needs to be done carefully... right?
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO/CTO: Very carefully indeed
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Communications between the planet and the lead ship. They are saying that everything went as planned.
SC_Capt_Marek :
::hears the OPS report::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: checking sensors once again to confirm:: CO: Affirmative Captain. We are hidden.
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: Prep a shuttle as I think we'll be needing one shortly
CO_Capt_Adams :
CTO: Make one of our "big" ones.... :: chuckles ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: mumbles to self “Ok... the show is about to begin... Fascinating...” ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: running full passive scans on the system now. Being very carefully selective about active scans, just in case. But getting a pretty good look.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: blinks :: CO: Yes Sir.... I shall do so immediately. :: signals for a relief at tactical and heads to the turbolift ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: looks over his shoulder :: CO: Aye Sir.... Big it is. :: enters turbolift ::

ACTION: The smaller ships approaching the warp vessel begin connecting to the ship and towing it towards the planet. One small ship docks with the vessel.

SC_Capt_Marek :
:: stands next to the CO, making his best effort to put his emotions under control ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
:: standing on the Bridge, watching the history of another world unfold on the viewscreen ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CTO*: Lieutenant, make it my yacht....
TO_Ens_T’rget :
CO: Captain... the warp ship has powered down its engines. Life support is now down to minimal.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: taps communicator :: *CO*: I have .... "anticipated" your request Sir. I am prepping the Helios now.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: enters the shuttle and begins pre-flight checks ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
TO: Normal procedure or malfunction? Can you establish that?

ACTION: The small ship that docked with the warp vessel disconnects and begins to return back to the planet.

TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: frowns :: SC: Seems normal Sir. It looks like a planned event, the small ship docked with it is actually about to take the crew off and shuttle them home.
SC_Capt_Marek :
TO: Perfect...
TO_Ens_T’rget :
All: There are no more life signs on warp ship, basically they shut it down and are now towing it home
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Call up Beta Shift to sit in while we go see if we can do a First Contact without getting ourselves blown up....
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: taps at her console to alert Beta Shift ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Lieutenant, do we have any visuals of these folks?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Yes Sir. Sending to shuttle consoles so we can get 'Used' to them.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: All senior staff Sir or just a select few?
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: begins checking all shuttle inventory ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Excellent.....
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Calls relief to Bridge and grabs a PADD before following. ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
CSO: Oh, I don't think we want to totally overwhelm them... Just us... :: points to the usual suspects ::
SO_Grille :
CSO: Already got the call Chief, go play with the bugs.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: grabs his PADD that he left over the auxiliary station and gets ready to join the Away Team::
OPS_Ens_H’lo :
:: walks onto the Bridge::
OPS_Ens_H’lo :
OPS: You going to play with our new.... umm, friends?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
H'lo: As far as I know, yes.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
::completes system check of all shuttle systems::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: gets up as Bridge replacements arrive and heads towards the turbolift ::
OPS_Ens_H’lo :
OPS: See you when you get back. :: takes OPS seat ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods at H'lo and follows the Captain ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO/All: I hope the Universal Translator get adjusted correctly... We wouldn't want to make a faux pass because an error in translation
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: monitors the flight path of the warp ship that is being towed ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Follows the Captain onto the turbolift, trying to review the last few first contacts I've seen. ::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: sends the flight path to the shuttle's NAV computer ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: looks out from the lift :: All: The rest of you waiting on a gold plated invitation or something?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: lifts her eyebrows at the SC :: SC: Are you saying that I may not have gotten the language correctly translated, Sir?
SC_Capt_Marek :
OPS: Lieutenant, no.
SC_Capt_Marek :
OPS: I am saying that we should be very careful with that...
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:; grins :: SC: I know Sir, I was just teasing you.
SC_Capt_Marek :
OPS: :: raises an eyebrow :: Ah, a humor attempt... You know I am certainly very unskillful in those areas... :: attempts an ironic smirk ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
SC: I apologize Sir. I have noticed that you were attempting to understand the concept of humor and wanted to try and help.
SC_Capt_Marek :
OPS: :: nods :: Oh.. Thanks for that. I promise I will be a better "student" next time.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: grins and nods ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: steps off the lift, behind the CO ::
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: double checks all shuttle systems ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Follows along with the group. ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
TL: Computer, to the Captain's Yacht Berthing Dock
