Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 13
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
After speaking extensively with Sovereign Lyris the Away Team was recalled to the Apache and the decision was made that it would be in the best interests of the Zlibra to continue with the court-sanctioned exile to Jovian 3.

Host Jafo says:
Therefore the Apache has continued on course to Jovian 3 where Omin Rego and his followers have joined their compatriots on the surface. Beaming extensive amounts of equipment and supplies to the surface, the Apache has prepared the Zlibra to begin a new life on their new world.

Host Jafo says:
Out of gratitude, Omin Rego has invited the officer's of the Apache to the surface of his new home planet to join him in a belated Federation Day Celebration.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::overseeing the security measures being implemented on Jovian 3::

CEO_Yeung says:
@:: on Jovian 3, inspecting equipment::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::on Jovian 3 walking around the new colony::

SO_Hammond says:
::at science one going over incoming sensors::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::spots the Captain not far away and approaches:: CO: Sir, the last of the security measures for the new colony are being implemented now.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Captain Tyler and Omin Rego are enjoying a stroll around the rudimentary encampment that has been started by the Zlibra.

FCO_Terman says:
::checking over the flight plans for after the celebration, but realizes that they could be changed::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::blackness moves to a white haze as John enters another dream state::

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: How is the installation of the power equipment going?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CTO:  Excellent, good work Commander.

CNS_Vekh says:
::arrives on the bridge and greets those officers there::

CMO_Naegle says:
::back in Sickbay monitoring Edgemoor::

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: There have been some minor complications, resulting in a two-hour delay, but so far so good.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::nods in greeting to Omin:: Omin: Omin Rego, it is an honor to see you again. The Apache is in your debt.

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Do you have the list of supplies to be transported down to the surface?

SO_Hammond says:
Self: I hope it stays quiet for at least a little while.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The encampment, thus far, consists of a handful of prefabricated buildings around a central meeting area. The Zlibra seem to prefer a center communal fire even though their individual buildings are heated perfectly well.

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: Well the Starfleet engineers will be arriving in a couple of days to begin the installation of the geothermal reactors.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Aye sir... ::hands her a PADD::

FCO_Terman says:
::decides that Starfleet, being the cruel creature that it is, will likely change the plans and gets up:: *XO*: Permission to leave the ship, please.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::bows slightly at the CTO:: CTO: Why Commander Cha`Dak, it is we who are in your debt. You are all welcome here anytime.

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Good to hear, I'd hate to set this up all by myself. ::chuckles::

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Greetings Commander. I may be beaming down momentarily, so I decided to see if there was anyone else going down too.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::inclines his head and falls into step with the two::

XO_Linard says:
*FCO*: Granted Mister Terman, enjoy your stay on the surface.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin:  I think you have the makings for a wonderful new home here.  And the security measures that Mister Cha`Dak has put in place should help keep you safe.

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: Aww come on now Jon … it's not like you work anyway. ::laughs::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::John finds himself walking through the academy of the Starfleet engineer corps, he can hear a single voice and movements a voice at work, John moves closer to the source ::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Actually, once I get this done, I'll be going down too.

FCO_Terman says:
::heads to the nearest turbolift:: *XO*: Is that an order? ::grinning::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::nods and smiles as they walk past a knot of Omin's followers being taught agricultural techniques by Oreh Dash::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::lets out a laugh:: CSO: I'll remember that next time your bathroom's broken.

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: I shall wait for you then, if you want … sir.

CSO_Storal says:
@COM: SO: Mister Hammond can you send the test signal to grid 19. I need to check and see if it uploads correctly.

XO_Linard says:
::laughs:: *FCO*: Yes and a strict one at that....

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: You do that, and I’ll remember it on your next evaluation.

FCO_Terman says:
::sighs:: *XO*: If I must...

CMO_Naegle says:
::notes the brain activity from Edgemoor::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Thanks Counselor, you don't have to do that if you want to get going.....::heads to the OPS station and taps a few things in there::

SO_Hammond says:
COM:CSO: Will do sir, coming at you in a sec.  ::sends down a signal to grid 19::

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Whoops, back to work. ::whistles as he scans another piece of equipment::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Nearby the CSO Jaxlt Burta leads the Zlibra children in a game of hide and seek ... unsurprisingly, he isn't a very good hider.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Sickbay to Commander Linard.

FCO_Terman says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Transporter Room.

XO_Linard says:
*CMO*: Linard here, go ahead Doctor.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::eyelids show motion in the real world::

CSO_Storal says:
@::Laughs:: CEO: Thought so.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The USS Aquilla arrives in orbit of Jovian 3...

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Commander, I may have some good news.  Lieutenant Edgemoor is showing signs of increased brain activity.

CSO_Storal says:
@COM: SO: Mister Hammond I have received the signal and the array is working perfectly. See  if  you can lock down  grid 14.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::looks over the encampment and the area surrounding it:: Omin: It's beautiful here.  ::sees the children playing with Jax:: The children seem to be enjoying their new friend.

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Actually, I'm not in a hurry sir. I can wait, unless you wish otherwise

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::smiles:: Tyler: Yes, Jaxlt is something of a gentle giant, isn't he.

XO_Linard says:
*CMO*: That's great news Doctor, thank you. Keep me posted. I'll be heading to the planet momentarily

FCO_Terman says:
::reaches the TR and exits the TL:: *XO*: ::Jovially:: Goodbye, sir!

SO_Hammond says:
COM:CSO: I'll get right on it.  ::begins to lock down grid 14::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Nearby the Captain and Omin Rego a new transporter begins to materialize with a slightly different harmonic then the Apache's.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Aye, Commander.  I'll continue monitoring him.

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Actually Counselor that would be very nice. I wouldn't mind some company right about now....::smiles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles and nods:: Omin: Yes, that he is, and a treasure for us on the Apache.

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@::materializes on Jovian in full dress uniform, holding a couple of PADD's under his arm::

FCO_Terman says:
::Beans down onto the surface in the middle of Jax's game, unfortunately::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::stops as he sees Captain Madred materializes:: CO: Ah, sir. .....

CSO_Storal says:
@COM: SO: Good.  The resolution is clearing. Once your done there you can beam down. You need the shoreleave just as much as the rest of us.

XO_Linard says:
::nods to OPS:: Silva: That ought to do it. You have the bridge; I'm heading to the surface now.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Aye Sir, have fun. ::smiles::

SO_Hammond says:
COM: CSO: Is that an order sir?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::stops himself before rolling over FCO Terman in the middle of his game of hide and seek::

CSO_Storal says:
@COM: SO: Does it need to be Lt.? ::chuckles::

XO_Linard says:
:;turns to the CNS:: CNS: Ready?

Cpt_Maverick says:
%CTO: keep an eye on the big man down there

SO_Hammond says:
COM: CSO: I guess not.  I'll be down shortly.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~John moves closer to the source of the voice he can almost make it out it sounds familiar to him~~~

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::turns toward the transporter sound and is surprised to see Captain Madred materializes:: Captain:  Captain Madred, this is an unexpected surprise.  To what do we owe the honor?  ::steps forward and offers a salute::

FCO_Terman says:
@::blanches as he's almost bowled over by the heaviest man on the planet::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::reconfigures some faulty settings on one piece of equipment::

CSO_Storal says:
@COM: SO: Acknowledged  Storal out.

Cpt_Maverick says:
%CTO: Bill Crenshaw would kill me if something happens

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@::walks forwards towards Captain Turnbull, giving his dress white collar a tug:: CO: Good afternoon, Captain ... Omin. ::nods to the Risealan::

SO_Hammond says:
::Finishes up and locks down the console before getting up and heading for the TL::

FCO_Terman says:
@Jax: Sorry. Am I interrupting something?

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Anytime, sir ::prepares to leave::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::stands next to Omin Rego, attentive to the conversation between the two Captains::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::smiles:: FCO: Not at all, Ensign... ::reaches out and touches Terman's shoulder:: FCO: You're it!

CTO_Tygris says:
%CO: Acknowledged sir

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Zlibra children scream in terror and begin running around in circles around Terman.

FCO_Terman says:
@::looks a bit clueless:: Jax: Excuse me?

CSO_Storal says:
@::Walks over to the Captain:: CO: Sir the sensor array is online and the power generators will  be online shortly.

FCO_Terman says:
@::wonders what the children are doing::

CMO_Naegle says:
::checks Edgemoor's condition one more time, then heads out to the turbolift::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::laughs at the look on Terman's face:: CSO:  Oh, good... good... excellent work.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::shakes his head:: FCO: It's Tag, Terman ... you have to try to tag one of the children now.

CMO_Naegle says:
TL: Bridge

XO_Linard says:
*CMO*: Doctor, would you mind taking over the bridge?

CSO_Storal says:
@CO: Also I have contacted Starfleet Corps of Engineers they will  be here within two days to set  up the geothermal reactors.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: I'm on my way there now, Commander.

FCO_Terman says:
@::grins:: Oh! Ok... lets see... ::slowly turns around, eyeing the kids::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~John can tell now it is his fathers voice he hears he begins to run to the source~~~~

Cpt_Maverick says:
%::wonders if the Kid will be surprised by this one little visit::

SO_Hammond says:
TL: Transporter room one…

XO_Linard says:
*CMO*: Understood…

FCO_Terman says:
@::finds a kid that looks fast and starts chasing him::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CSO:  That's good to know Commander; everything will be up and running soon.

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@CO: I'm here to extend full diplomatic courtesy to Mister Rego ... or I suppose I should say Ambassador Rego. ::hands a PADD over to Turnbull:: CO: As the recognized leader of this group, he has now become the selected delegate to the Federation ... as the Zlibra's application for Federation Membership comes under consideration.

CMO_Naegle says:
::steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge::

CSO_Storal says:
@CO: Aye Sir.

XO_Linard says:
CMO: Well that was quick..... you actually managed to tear yourself away from the biobeds, huh? :;grins::

SO_Hammond says:
::enters TR 1 and steps onto the pad and nods to the transporter chief::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::glances at Omin to see what his expression might read::

FCO_Terman says:
@::the kid proves faster than Jordan and Jordan chases after a different one:: kids: I going to get you!

XO_Linard says:
::heads into the TL with the CNS:: CNS: Let's go Commander....

TO_Verall says:
::at tactical one::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Yes, Ma'am.  Edgemoor is improving, so I thought I'd come up here a while.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::accepts the PADD::  Captain:  This good news for the Zlibra.  Omin: Congratulations, Ambassador.

CSO_Storal says:
@::walks over to the command tent and finishes the sensor work::

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Yes sir. ::nods at Dr. Naegle and heads for the TL::

SO_Hammond says:
@::Materializes on the planet and looks around::

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the counselor::

XO_Linard says:
CMO: All thanks to your capable hands doctor....::grins::

XO_Linard says:
TL: transporter room 2

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::is rather shocked and bows to both Captain's:: Tyler/Madred: I didn't know that we would be considered for membership ... but I hope you will understand if I reluctantly decline. My people are not ready for Federation Membership yet. Perhaps we will someday ... but it will be when we choose, and not when the Federation chooses.

CMO_Naegle says:
::waves them off and calls after them:: XO/CNS: Don't forget to write!

CSO_Storal says:
@*CEO*: I’m detecting power fluctuations in sector 4. May just be a power spike.

FCO_Terman says:
@::finally tags a kid:: kid: You're it. ::grins::

CEO_Yeung says:
@*CSO*: I'm detecting it too. I'll check it out.

SO_Hammond says:
@::wonders around the camp::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~Dad.... Dad !! John rushes to his father’s location coming to a dead stop as he sees this haze of a man working in a warp the systems study lab~~~~

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks over to sector 4::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: For once, I'm actually looking forward to this.... we all need a break....

CSO_Storal says:
@*CEO*: Keep me informed I’m in the command tent if you need me.

FCO_Terman says:
@::sees the SO and heads over to him:: SO: How goes it?

CEO_Yeung says:
@*CSO*: Aye, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: That's correct sir. This mission was full of turns throughout it. Fortunately we reached a good solution for the Zlibra at least. ::turbolift stops and doors open::

SO_Hammond says:
@FCO: It goes, how bout you?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::arrives at power generator and checks its settings::

CSO_Storal says:
@::Begins to do a test run of the long-range sensors::

XO_Linard says:
::enters the Transporter room with the CNS and steps onto the PADD:: CNS: Yes, and frankly I'm relieved of that. I think they are more civil to deal with.

FCO_Terman says:
@SO: It goes at warp speed! A beautiful day to hold a celebration, don't you think?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::admires Omin's resolve as she remembers the conversations on the Apache:: Omin: I understand your hesitation, especially after what you have recently went through concerning the Judges and Sovereign Lyris.  However, this will be a different situation than you were in there.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~Greg Edgemoor, John's father makes no motion to his son until John approaches him and asks what is troubling him~~~~

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@Omin:  No one will be forcing you to accept more than you are ready for.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Hammond comes across a group of Zlibra who are working off of Federation PADD's on the construction of new housing and learning the use of the Federation tools.

CNS_Vekh says:
::steps onto pad:: XO: I shall agree, Cmdr. Omin Rego surely is more concerned for his followers well-being than Sovereign Lyris would ever be

CEO_Yeung says:
@::sees the problem and reconfigures power distribution throughout the power net::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::looks up as Oreh Dash joins him carrying a basket of what looks like corn:: Tyler/Madred: It's time that the Zlibra exercised their independence, I think ... though we appreciate all you have done for us.

CSO_Storal says:
@::begins to teach the Zlibra on the use of Federation sensor equipment::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Exactly… ::looks over at Chief Owen:: TRChief_Owen: Energize…

SO_Hammond says:
@FCO: Everyday is a good day to celebrate.  Zlibra: Do you need any help with that?

CMO_Naegle says:
V'Taran:  Steady as she goes, Mister V'Taran.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::checks to see if there are anymore more problems with the power::

FCO_Terman says:
@::nods in agreement:: SO: but some more than others.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Executive Officer's group materializes in the center of the Zlibra community.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::atoms are disassembled and reassembled in a fraction of second::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~"It is not what troubles me it is what troubles you son." What do you mean Dad?~~~~

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@Omin: Of course I understand Ambassador ... but I hope you will keep open lines of communication between our two peoples. ::smiles:: CO: Besides, this isn't my only reason for being here. I heard my favorite ship was celebrating Federation Day a little late and I thought I'd join them.

XO_Linard says:
@::inhales the fresh air and smiles as she looks around::

CEO_Yeung says:
@*CSO*: I fixed the power spike. It was just some faulty power settings through the generator.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
CMO: Aye Captain...

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Sir, the USS Aquilla is matching our orbit around Jovian 3, and the Executive Officers party has beamed down to the surface.

CMO_Naegle says:
Rakhmatullin: Monitor the Planet's surface at all times please.

CSO_Storal says:
@*CEO*: Good work. Are you almost finished? You may want to help the Zlibra with the workings of the power equipment.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CMO: Certainly sir ... nothing unusual to report at this time. ::thinks the CMO is trying to make things look good::

CMO_Naegle says:
Verall: Thank you Mister Verall.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::sees the Zlibra village coming into being around them and is fully satisfied:: XO: Seems we arrived in a proper moment ::smiles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: Omin:  Of course, Omin.  And we will do all we can to help you here.   Captain:  We are glad to have you with us to help celebrate.

CEO_Yeung says:
@*CSO*: Sure. I'll do one last sweep, then head over to your position.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~"Son, sometimes we are faced with the impossible problems in this career and if we don't resolve the impossible all is lost so we fight and try until we get it right..."~~~~~

XO_Linard says:
@::looks around, trying to find the Captain:: CNS: Yes apparently so. I think they will do quite nicely here.

CSO_Storal says:
@*CEO*: Acknowledged … Storal out.

FCO_Zandor says:
%CO: we are matching the Apache's orbital pattern, sir. Keeping safe distance off the port bow

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@CO: Well ... it's only fitting that we celebrate the independence of the Federation among those who have chosen to be independent from us. ::smiles at the irony::

CMO_Naegle says:
Rakhmatullin: That's good, but you can never be too careful.  I appreciate your diligence.

SO_Hammond says:
@FCO: Very true.  ::Starts to help the group of Zlibra with the tools and explaining how to use them::

CNS_Vekh says:
@::spots the Captain’s and indicates the group to Linard:: XO: Looks like we have some visitors, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::does a sensor scan of the area, then a recheck on the power grid::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache receives a very faint automated signal from a distant sector.

FCO_Terman says:
@::sees that the SO is busy and heads off::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@Captain:  I can't think of a more beautiful place to celebrate either.  And from what I've seen of the crew, they are certainly enjoying being off the ship.

CMO_Naegle says:
::sits back in the big chair::

CSO_Storal says:
@::sparks arc from a nearby console:: Zlibra: No, no ... that one goes there, and that one is placed there. ::points::

XO_Linard says:
@::grins and nods in Cha`Dak’s direction:: CNS: He seems to stick out like a sore thumb doesn't he?

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CMO: Doctor, we're receiving a signal ... of unknown origin. I’ve only got Audio ... on speakers?

Cpt_Maverick says:
%FCO: Very good, Mister Zandor. Keep us like that till Captain Madred contacts us

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@Omin:  Thank you again for inviting us to share this time with you and your people.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks over to CSO's position and the Zlibra::

CMO_Naegle says:
Rakhmatullin: Please! Put it on speakers!

XO_Linard says:
@::heads over to greet Captain Madred and Captain Turnbull::

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@Tyler: I also needed to let you know, officially, that I have been reassigned. I will be relinquishing command of Sector 1121. I've been assigned to the USS Paula Greene.

CNS_Vekh says:
@XO: Apparently so, sir. ::walks with the XO toward the COs group::

SO_Hammond says:
@Zlibra: The tools just look complicated.  Once you learn their use, they’re really simple.

CSO_Storal says:
@Zlibra: There you go. The sensor equipment can fairly run itself. You only have to modify the search arc and frequency from time to time.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CMO: Certainly sir... ::puts the signal on speakers::

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Everything seems to be on schedule till the other engineers arrive.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The communiqué comes over the speakers ... it is crackly and difficult to hear, but they can barely make it out.   Beep, Beep, Beep ... blip, blip, blip .... Beep, Beep, Beep.

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: Great news Jon. They are taking to the equipment rather quickly.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::looks surprised:: Captain:  Congratulations on your new command, but it will be a big loss to this sector.  It has been an honor to serve under your command.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~ Dad: are you saying I have something to solve? "John: you have family that needs you and loves you. I think getting home is your goal. It's not impossible it just has to be done son."~~~~

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks to Rakhmatullin, Verall, and V'Taran.  All: Sounds like an SOS to me.  But I want to be sure.  Opinions?

XO_Linard says:
@::takes a stance next to the CO and waits::

FCO_Terman says:
@::notices the captain talking to someone he faintly recognizes::

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@::smiles and nods:: CO: And it's been an honor to command such strong crews. I am sure that whomever is selected to replace me will be as impressed with your crew as I have been.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::greets the Captains in the group and nods especially at Omin Rego:: Omin: How's your group faring?

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Definitely an SOS if I have ever heard one, sir.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CMO/All: I didn't think anyone still used SOS...

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to Verall::

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Makes my job easier. Zlibra: Ok folks, let me explain how some of this stuff works.... ::goes to explain how to use the various equipment::

FCO_Terman says:
@::realizes that he's in the presence of the sector commander and wonders what he's doing here::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::turns in his seat:: CMO: They do not. The standard distress call of SOS has not been used officially for over two hundred years. There are, however, various private agencies that still use the distress call.

TO_Verall says:
::tries to determine the source::

XO_Linard says:
@::looks around and silently wonders where Storal is::

SO_Hammond says:
@::begins to explain the plans on the PADD::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::reaches out and shakes the Counselor's hand:: CNS: Very well, Drayan. I'm glad you could join us. I especially want to thank you for all you did to get use here.

CMO_Naegle says:
Rakhmatullin: I didn't either, to be honest.  But maybe it's something that cannot communicate any other way.

CSO_Storal says:
@:: Looks outside the command tent and sees Kathleen:: Self: Well work is almost done. I think your gonna have to make the first move Ky.

FCO_Terman says:
@::continues on his way, wondering about the arrival of the sector commander::

CMO_Naegle says:
V'Taran: Elaborate please.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: Captain: Thank you, Captain.  Good luck on the Paula Greene.  ::notices Kathleen and Drayan approaching:: XO/CNS:  I was beginning to wonder if you were going to join us.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::raises an eyebrow somewhat surprised at Omin Rego’s words:: Omin: Why ... thank you, sir … but I could not have done a thing without the rest of the crew. ::shakes Omin’s hand::

XO_Linard says:
@CO: I had a few things to take care of before I came down Captain. Dr. Naegle has informed me that Mister Edgemoor's brain activity has increased and his prognosis looks good at this point.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~::a new figure appears:: John: love come home! Anne!! John says at the figure walks out the door and into the hall~~~~

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Sir, I’ve located the source of the signal...

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: The Ferengi, in particular, are known to acquire many older vessels and use them as merchant cargo carriers. There computer systems are not commonly updated to new standards.

CMO_Naegle says:
Verall: Thank you, Mister Verall. Verall: Can you send a signal telling them we hear them?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@XO:  That is wonderful and promising news.  And how are you holding up?

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Sir, the ship matches designs that were popular about 30 years ago among Federation rim worlds.

FCO_Terman says:
@::runs into the game of tag, so totally engrossed in his speculation that he doesn't realize it::

XO_Linard says:
@::is mildly surprised:: CO: Me? I'm fine..... thanks.. ::smiles::

CMO_Naegle says:
Verall: Hail Commander Linard and apprise her of the situation.

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
@::glances about again in search of Storal::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::turns back to his console:: CMO: Shall I lay in a course, sir?

CSO_Storal says:
@::walks out of the tent and heads over to the SO:: SO: How are the lessons  coming?

CMO_Naegle says:
V'Taran: Yes, best speed.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: XO:  Good, good… ::notices Kathleen looking around and points:: He's over there, demonstrating the use of some of the new equipment.

TO_Verall says:
COM: XO: Sir, we're reading a vessel quite a distance away. It is emitting an old Morse code style SOS.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~ Anne has made it to the end of the corridor by now. The floor had been polished... John runs and almost makes it to the end or the corridor when he slips his head smacks the floor his last thought is to go on and get up before fading out~~~~

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CMO: You don't want to recall the away teams first, sir?

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: Pretty good, they seem to be picking it up pretty quickly.

CMO_Naegle says:
Rakhmatullin: That's why I'm apprising the XO of the situation before we engage.

CSO_Storal says:
@::nods:: SO: Their brains are like sponges. They learn and adapt very quickly.

XO_Linard says:
@::smiles sheepishly and whispers so that no one else can hear:: CO: Thanks, Tyria..... :: heads over to the CSO's direction::

TO_Verall says:
COM: Unidentified Vessel: Unidentified vessel, this is the Federation Starship USS Apache. Please respond.

FCO_Terman says:
@::trips over a child and lands on his face::

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: It seems like that, sir.  How are the sensors coming along?

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@::pulls another PADD out from under his arm:: CO/Vekh: I'm also sorry to inform you, Captain, that your Mister Vekh here has been reassigned. I know he's meant the world to the Apache ... but now he is needed elsewhere. ::smiles and whispers:: Vekh: I expect you to consider 'Jafo' when naming this child of yours.

Host Zlibra Child says:
@::bumps into Terman as she's running after a little boy ... giggles:: FCO:  Tag ... you're it!  ::scrambles to her feet and runs off::

CNS_Vekh says:
@::relaxes and observes the brewing brand new colony coming into shape::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~Everything around John is white again. He sees several images of people his family, friends, people  he works with fading in and out all insisting it was time to rise again~~~~

CMO_Naegle says:
V'Taran: Plot the course, and determine best speed, but do not engage until I get word from the XO, understood?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::blinks at the Captains words to Drayan::

FCO_Terman says:
@::gets up:: Self: What? ::spits out some dirt:: Dang!

CSO_Storal says:
@SO: The sensors are up and running. They are all set until the Starfleet engineers get here and upgrade the equipment.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
CMO: Of course, Captain... ::inputs the orders::

CNS_Vekh says:
@::his attention is drawn by Madred's words:: Madred: Sir..?! ::takes the PADD and reads the contents::

TO_Verall says:
CMO: Sir, the ship cannot or will not respond to hails. Scans reveal it is heavily damaged.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
~~~~John begins to feel pain. Most of his body is numb but his head was pounding~~~~

XO_Linard says:
@::stops in her tracks:: *Verall/CMO*: What kind of Vessel is it?

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: I believe they are going to like it here … particularly without the judges after them all the time.

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@Vekh: You put in a request for reassignment to the Europa didn't you? As my last official act as Sector Commander for the Apache ... your request has been approved. Go make an honest woman out of that Rya of yours.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods:: Verall: understood.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::a smile opens in his normally stern face:: Madred: Thank you Captain ::turns to Tyria:: CO: I hope you can understand my motivations for this transfer request, sir

FCO_Terman says:
@::looks around for kids:: Self: Curse my luck... just curse it. ::spots a little boy:: Boy: Here, boy, boy, boy, boy.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::looks at the transfer orders:: Captain: You are right, this is a big loss for the Apache.  CNS:  The Europa, CSO...  Congratulations on your new post, Commander.  I know you will enjoy being close to...  Elara... Isn't it?

CSO_Storal says:
@SO: Most definitely. There are plenty of places to explore. The soil is very fertile. This colony will be a success.

CNS_Vekh says:
@CO: Thank you sir. Alara will be surprised. ::smiles::

Host Zlibra Child says:
@::hears the FCO and takes off running in the opposite direction::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::is dizzy at his eyes barely open to reveal  the dim light in the sickbay area he is in. John tries to call for help but can't move or talk but medical indicators sound around him which are piercing to his sensitive::

FCO_Terman says:
@Boy: Get back here! ::runs off full tilt::

Host MO_Karl says:
::looks up as the bio-readings change around Lieutenant Edgemoor:: *CMO*: Mister Edgemoor is coming around, I believe, Doctor.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CNS:  Alara... ::smiles:: Pleasantly surprised, Commander.  I hate to lose you, but I can understand why you made the request.

CSO_Storal says:
@SO: It’s not Bajor. But it’s the best given the circumstances.

XO_Linard says:
@ COM: CMO/Verall: This is Commander Linard, what kind of ship is it?

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: That it is.

CMO_Naegle says:
COM: XO: It's heavily damaged, Commander and it's a great distance off. Scans are inconclusive on its registry. The computer is searching the library.

Host MO_Karl says:
::goes to check on Edgemoor:: OPS: Welcome back, Lieutenant ... I'm going to release your restraints but I don't want you to try to get up just yet, okay? ::starts working at the console::

FCO_Terman says:
@::runs into Jax and falls to the ground, looking up groggily:: Jax: You’re it…

XO_Linard says:
@ COM: CMO: Has it responded to hails?

CMO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Thank you Doctor. Continue to monitor his vitals until I can get back there.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::nods at Tyria:: CO: Thank you for your comprehension sir. My turn of duty on the Apache was one of my best times ever. I hope one day I can be at least a shade of the commanding officer you are now

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::grunts and begins chasing after another child::

CSO_Storal says:
@SO: You should have brought that dog of yours? Mongo isn’t it?

Host Zlibra Child says:
@::giggles and keeps running:: FCO:  No ... no ... no...

CMO_Naegle says:
COM: XO: No, Commander, it hasn't. I recommend recalling the away teams and investigating.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::looks at the medical staff approach him a tear drops down his face and wishes there where something he could do to indicate his pain but thanks to even be alive ... although he can't remember much of what happen to him::

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: Yeah, Mongo.  I should have, maybe he would have gotten lost or something.  ::smiles::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::takes a few things from Oreh Dash:: CO/XO: Captain ... before you all leave, I wanted to present you with tokens of our appreciation.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::smiles:: CNS: I know you will be Counselor.  And please feel free to visit us anytime.

FCO_Terman says:
@::sits, dazed for a little longer and lets out a big groan, then lies down to (hopefully) rest, forgetting he's in a tag zone::

CSO_Storal says:
@SO: You can only hope. ::laughs::

XO_Linard says:
@ COM: CMO: Agreed... ::taps her combadge:: *All*: This is Commander Linard, please report back to the Apache. We have a distress situation.

CEO_Yeung says:
@*XO*: On my way, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
@::hears the XO's orders:: SO: So much for leave.

SO_Hammond says:
@CSO: How is it we always leave before the party begins?

FCO_Terman says:
@::sits up:: *XO*: Just one … okay, I’m ready.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::turns her attention to Omin:: Omin: You have done so much for us already.

CMO_Naegle says:
COM: XO: I'll see you when you get here, Commander.

CSO_Storal says:
@All: You heard the XO people. Lets go!

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::takes out a scythe and hands it towards the Captain:: CO: This scythe was once used by my father's, father's, father. I present it to you so that you will always be reminded of the Risealan people and our quest for independence as we turned our swords in plowshares.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: CNS:  I hope to be there Commander.

CEO_Yeung says:
@Zlibra: It's been fun people, but I got to run. Remember to read the instruction manuals before using the equipment!

CEO_Yeung says:
@::arrives at the site:: CSO: No rest for the weary, eh Commander?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::accepts the scythe:: Omin:  I am honored, Omin.

CMO_Naegle says:
*TRChief_Owen*: Bridge to Transporter Room. Let me know when the command staff is back on the ship.

CSO_Storal says:
@CEO: It’s the story of our lives, Jon.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
*CMO*: Aye sir...

FCO_Terman says:
::materializes on the transporter pad still sitting, realizes how dumb he must look, stands up, and heads to the turbolift::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::chuckles:: FCO: Catch you at a bad time, Ensign?

XO_Linard says:
@::waits for the transporter beam to take her back to the Apache::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::interrupts:: Tyler-Turnbull/Madred/Omin: Sorry, sirs, but we have a situation on the Apache.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::he passes out from his pain but no longer in a coma::

FCO_Terman says:
TRChief: Oh no ... I just ran into Jax, that's all.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@CNS: Safe journey, Commander.  ::nods as she watches him leave, returns her attention to Omin:: Omin: Thank you again, your assistance and friendship will be treasured.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::after talking to most of the crew, decides it's time to go and taps his badge:: COM: Aquilla: This is Commander Vekh. One to beam up!

Host Cpt_Madred says:
@::watches the Apache crew pack up and hurry off leaving just Vekh, Omin, and himself::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::hears K’hora and turns toward him:: CTO:  What is happening, Commander?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CO: Sir, I am unsure. The doctor has asked we return to the Apache immediately.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
@::nods:: CTO:  Then let's go.  Omin: Good luck sir.  ::transports up with K’hora and the last of the crew on the surface::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Away Teams from Jovian 3 beam back to the Apache and arrive in transporter rooms.

XO_Linard says:
::heads for the bridge:: TL: Bridge

CSO_Storal says:
::glances back at the XO and enters the TL::

CMO_Naegle says:
::stands up as Commander Storal enters::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
*CMO*: All teams have been recalled, Doctor.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks quickly toward the TL:: TL:  Bridge

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift:: CMO: Report Commander.

FCO_Terman says:
::turbolift reaches the bridge and Jordan exits, heading for the pit::

XO_Linard says:
::wishes she had at least one minute to talk with Ky ... decides to wait until the time is right::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::sees the FCO coming and relinquishes the controls to him::

XO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
CSO: A ship sent an old style SOS distress call, sir.  It appears to be heavily damaged.

FCO_Terman says:
V'Taran: Dismissed.

CSO_Storal says:
CMO: Has the away team been retrieved?

TO_Verall says:
::relinquishes command to the CTO::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge as Janet is explaining the situation to Ky::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::nods to Terman and walks towards an available turbolift::

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Set course and engage.  Maximum warp.

FCO_Terman says:
::sits in his chair:: CMO: Where was that distress call?

CMO_Naegle says:
CSO: Yes, The transporter room reports all teams are back.

FCO_Terman says:
CMO: It would help me plot the course.

XO_Linard says:
::sits in her chair bringing up sensor readings::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift and takes over at tactical one, scanning the Federation database for a matching id for the unidentified vessel::

CMO_Naegle says:
FCO: V'Taran has plotted the course already, and determined best speed.

SO_Hammond says:
::mans the aux console and brings up long-range sensors::

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the XO::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, the database has matched the vessel with an old style passenger/cargo liner.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: The registry of the vessel in question was archived and took a long time to access because it is out of date. The ship is named the SS Rainbow's End.

Cpt_Maverick says:
%CTO: Thank you, Shhsan. ::turns to the helmsman:: FCO: Engage course…
