             <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Storal says:
::gets up from the command chair:: *All*: All Senior Officers report to transporter room 2.

CMO_Powers says:
::prepares med team to beam down::

Host CO_Storal says:
::heads towards the turbo lift::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: walks onto the bridge, hears the CO and proceeds to transporter room 2 ::

XO_Naegle says:
::gets up from her chair and follows the CO:: CO: I'd advise us all to be careful. I'm not sure what this guy is up to.

CMO_Powers says:
::exits sickbay and heads for TR2::

Sec Abbott says:
::is preparing herself in TR2::

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO: Why? What can you tell me about him? ::steps inside the turbo lift::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: taps her com badge ::  *Ens Calloway*: have a security detail in transporter room 2, just in case.

Ens Calloway says:
CTO: Aye Sir.

XO_Naegle says:
::steps into the turbolift with the CO:: CO: He just seems to be . . . a bit strange. His culture reminds me a bit of the Orions.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Really? Did they state the nature of their needs?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: No, he just invited us to dinner.

CMO_Powers says:
::exits TL and enters TR2::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: exits the turbolift and enters the transporter room ::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Well we will find out soon enough. ::steps out of the TL and walks towards the transporter room::

Elove Naroma says:
::bustles about his large manor:: Kayleen: Kayleen dear... can you see about having our tables moved to the garden? It's such a beautiful day, I want our guests to be comfortable....

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: CO: That we will, sir. ::follows him into the transporter room:: All: Everyone here?

Kayleen says:
Naroma: Of course.... ::heads off to the kitchen::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: sees Abbott and approaches her ::

Sec Abbott says:
CTO: Sir...::nods::... Everything is ready as you requested....

XO_Naegle says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: By the way, did you get my report regarding T'rget?

Host CO_Storal says:
::steps up on to the transporter pad:: All: Is everyone ready?

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nods :: Abbott: Good job D`Layna.

XO_Naegle says:
::steps up on the pad:: CO: Aye, sir.

Action: All senior staff beam down to the planet's surface.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
XO: No Commander, I did not.  Was there a problem?

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks around for their hosts::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: He went too far this time, Sharra. Projecting his personal "programs" onto the FCO's view screen and sending me erotic messages.

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks over at the XO with amazement:: XO: He did what? ::chuckles::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
XO: He did what!?!?!?!

CMO_Powers says:
::overhears what the XO said and stifles a laugh::

Action: The away team dematerializes to a lush green garden. The air is fragrant and the breeze is warm and inviting. There are Ulandans walking about the gardens, many of the scantily clad. They are a beautiful race of people with the only alien markings being a few ridges on their forehead.

Sec Abbott says:
::yanks out her tricorder and starts scanning::

Host CO_Storal says:
All: These people remind me of the Edo.

XO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CTO/CO: Great minds think alike? Anyway, he projected Orion dancing girls onto the FCO's view screen and sent me messages saying to meet him in his quarters naked ::voice lowers to a whisper::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: curses under her breath :: XO:  I'll have his.....:: substitutes another word for what she is thinking :: .....guts for garters!!!

CMO_Powers says:
::watches some scantily clad females walk by::

Host CO_Storal says:
::stifles a laugh:: XO: I'm sorry. I assume that you already have taken disciplinary measures?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: Keep me informed of anything you come across.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO/CO: I've put him in the brig for 30 days. I thought maybe Sharra might have something else in mind for when he gets out.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO/CO: Cleaning latrines would be my vote.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
XO: As a matter of fact, I do....and it won't be pleasant.  :: smiles maliciously ::

Action: Some of the Ulandan stop and stare at their guests, but their attention is quickly drawn by a figure approaching the away team.

CMO_Powers says:
XO: That was a bit harsh don't you think?

XO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CTO: I thought you might.

Host CO_Storal says:
::stops one of the Ulanda:: Ulandan: Excuse me, I'm looking for Elove Naroma. Can you tell me where he is?

XO_Naegle says:
CMO: You weren't there, John.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
CMO:  Not for him. That little Ferengi piece of.......

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Easy, Lieutenant. He's contained for now.

Elove Naroma says:
ALL: Commander Naegle! I'm so glad you could make it.... ::hugs the XO and holds her at arms length as he looks her up and down::.... my goodness but we do cover ourselves now don't we?... ::places his arm around her::... Can I offer you something a little more comfortable? Something a little less.... constricting? ::smiles::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
XO: He is Targ bait when I get my hands on him.

CMO_Powers says:
CTO: He is a little... it's still a little funny though. Isn't it?

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks at Elove with a raised eyebrow:: XO: I take it you two have met. ::smiles::

Kayleen says:
::follows behind Elove and smiles at the CMO::

CMO_Powers says:
::laughs under his breath at Elove's comments::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
CMO: No, it isn't.

Elove Naroma says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Well hello.... ::smiles warmly::... and you are...?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: watches the scene in front of her and smiles ::

XO_Naegle says:
::startled:: Elove: Elove Naroma. May I present my Commanding Officer, Captain Storal Kylorean, Our Chief Medical Officer Lieutenant John Powers, Our Chief Tactical Officer, Lieutenant Sharra Telgar-Nash.

CMO_Powers says:
CTO: I'm sure you're right Lt. ::laughs at the thought of it::

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: Capt. Storal Kylorean, It’s a pleasure to meet you.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: This is Elove Naroma, our contact on the planet.

CMO_Powers says:
::gives a nod::

Elove Naroma says:
::looks at the away team:: ALL: Oh you all will fit in here nicely... ::shakes the CO's hand::... please... follow me to my manor.... my servants will get you some more comfortable clothes to wear...

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: Elove, this is a standard Starfleet Uniform, we won't be needing anything else.

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: Mr. Naroma, I must say that you have us at a disadvantage. It looks like your colony is doing well. There doesn’t seem to be any signs of trouble. So why request help? ::follows Elove::

Elove Naroma says:
::frowns as he looks her up and down again:: XO: Are you sure? You will be quite warm in those.... garments....

CMO_Powers says:
XO: Don't you want to fit in sir?

XO_Naegle says:
::glares at the CMO:: Elove: I'm sure.  We will be fine.

CMO_Powers says:
::smiles a Janet playfully::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: gently elbows the CMO ::

Elove Naroma says:
::looks at the CO for a moment with barely an expression before he breaks into a smile:: CO: Please, come to my garden in the back. We will dine.... and we have much to talk about.....

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: Of course. ::grins::

XO_Naegle says:
::whispers:: CMO: Don't let the appearances fool you, John. I don't trust this guy.

Action: Several of Elove's followers flock to the away teams side, walking closely with them and displaying affection towards them....

CMO_Powers says:
::whispers:: XO: Rightly so in my opinion. This sounds like a waste of time to me.

Sec Abbott says:
::glares down at one of the men:: Why do you look at me like That?

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: I see that you Ulanda are....::looks around and the amorous Ulanda:: friendly?

Drayne says:
Abbott: I've never seen a woman like you... are you... human.... too?

XO_Naegle says:
::tries to shrug off the affections of the Ulandans:: Ulandan::Please, stop That.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: chuckles at Drayne speaking to D`Layna ::

Sec Abbott says:
Drayne: I am Klingon.... only part of me is human... ::gives him a disgusted look::

CMO_Powers says:
::smiles at the attention he is being given:: Self: Andrew would love this.

Kerin says:
XO: I am sorry.... ::looks insulted::... you are very beautiful, I was trying to make you feel comfortable here...

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: whispers to D'Layna :: Abbott: Show him a Klingon mating ritual.

Elove Naroma says:
CO: We aim to please Captain... we welcome everyone to our beautiful planet

XO_Naegle says:
Kerin: I'm sorry. But I will be more comfortable when we figure out what is wrong in your southern continent and can get you the help you need.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: tries to stay away from the Ulandan's ::

Sec Abbott says:
::shoots a look to the CTO:: CTO: I beg your pardon sir... I am a married woman...

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: I can see That.

Kerin says:
::nods:: XO: I certainly hope you can... it's scary... ::shudders::

CMO_Powers says:
Elove: Do you get many visitors?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: I know That and you know That but they don't know That.  What I meant was That he probably would be scared to death of it.

XO_Naegle says:
Kerin: What can you tell me about it?

Elove Naroma says:
CMO: Not many.... most choose to visit our more populated cities... here on the Southern Continent, we are just beginning to settle in....

Kerin says:
::hangs his head:: XO: I'm not allowed to talk about it...

XO_Naegle says:
Kerin: Can you tell me who is allowed to talk about it?

Sec Abbott says:
CTO: I see sir...

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: hears Kerin and her ears perk up ::

CMO_Powers says:
Abbott: Either That or he'll show you his.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
CMO: You're getting a kick out of this aren't you Doctor?

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: This planet reminds me a lot of my home world.

Action: The Away team is led to a huge garden where many people are bustling about preparing the meal laid out on a table before them. There are many kinds of dishes and desserts, some of them strange, some of them familiar.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: is hoping That the comment gets Abbott back for the holodeck incident with the giant squid ::

Kayleen says:
::strokes the CMO's ear:: CMO: So what do you do for the Apache?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Nice spread they've got for us, huh sir?

Kerin says:
::glances at Elove:: XO: Elove will tell you what you need to know....

CMO_Powers says:
Kayleen: I'm the ship's Chief Medical Officer. I'm in charge of the doctors.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Indeed. It looks great.

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: Kerin: Thank you.

Elove Naroma says:
ALL: As you can see, we aim to please. Please... have a seat and let us dine....

XO_Naegle says:
CO: This gentleman I was just talking to said That Elove will tell us what we need to know.

CMO_Powers says:
Kayleen: What do you do down here?

Kayleen says:
CMO: Let's sit over here... ::looks at one of the other girls eyeing the CMO::... I don't want you to get away from me....

Host CO_Storal says:
::sits down:: XO: Hopefully we will be filled in soon.

XO_Naegle says:
::sits down:: CO: I hope so, sir.

Action: The away team takes a seat and Elove makes a point to sit next to the XO... still smiling at her....

CMO_Powers says:
::sits by Kayleen:: Kayleen: There's no need to worry about That.

Kayleen says:
::giggles::

XO_Naegle says:
::turns to Elove:: Elove: This is quite a feast you have for us.  Thank you.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: sits down ::

Elove Naroma says:
XO: You are most welcome.... ::frowns:: It is the least we can offer.... our problems are escalating unfortunately.....

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: What seems to be the problem down here?

Elove Naroma says:
::looks from the CO to the XO as his servants go about serving the CTO and CMO and the rest of the security team:: CO/XO: I am not sure exactly... this lush garden you see before you... ::sighs:: Not all is as it seems... we are dying I'm afraid..

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: Are you being plagued by a disease?

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: Is it a problem with the soil?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: listens intently ::

Elove Naroma says:
CO: Something like That. You see, ever since we came to live here on the southern continent, we starting dying. My wife died a few days ago, she just suddenly got ill and died... ::shrugs::

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: I'm sorry for your loss. But what can we do to help?

XO_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: Elove: I'm sorry as well.

Action: A handsome male servant offers the CTO a tall beverage...

Elove Naroma says:
CO: That is what I was hoping you could tell me, Captain. With your technology, I was hoping you could find out the cause of what is causing the death of my people....

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: takes the beverage but doesn't drink it ::

Kayleen says:
::snuggles in closer to the CMO, nuzzling his ear:: CMO: You are unlike any human I've ever met... you are so.... beautiful....

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: Well I'm sure our medical staff can find something, but I must consult my superiors first.

Elove Naroma says:
CO: I would be most grateful for That Captain. I fear for my family...

Servant says:
::frowns:: CTO: Is the drink not to your liking?

CMO_Powers says:
Kayleen: I'm Trill.

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: As would I if I were in your situation. I can do it now if you like?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Servant: It's just fine, I'm just not thirsty right now.  :: smiles ::

Kayleen says:
CMO: Trill? ::traces her finger along the spots on his forehead, her face closer than a smile to his::... is That why you have these?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: We will need to be careful, Captain.

CMO_Powers says:
::smiles:: Kayleen: It is indeed.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: Agreed Janet, that is, I am consulting with Starfleet before proceeding with a course of action.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Understood, sir.

Elove Naroma says:
::smiles:: CO: There won't be any need for that just yet... please dine with us first....

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: We have a strict code of conduct we must follow in situations like this.  I hope you understand.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: looks up :: CO: Captain, a word with you Sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
::feels a bit uneasy:: Elove: Excuse me for a moment. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Of course Sharra.

Kayleen says:
::smiles:: CMO: You're Captain seems to be busy... want to... go for a walk?

Elove Naroma says:
::nods at the CO::

Action: Kayleen runs her hand up the CMO's thigh and gazes deep into his eyes...

CMO_Powers says:
Kayleen: I think I'd better stay here. I may be able to help your situation.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: gets up and walks a few paces from the table. Lowers her voice so as not to be overheard :: CO: Captain, I suggest that we not eat or drink anything here.

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: I was thinking the same thing. ::strokes his goatee for a moment:: I will make an excuse and call us back to the ship.

Kayleen says:
CMO: But they're going to eat soon... wouldn't you like to have me for dessert? ::kisses his neck in a way that he's unable to resist::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
CO: Especially is the soil is dangerous.

CMO_Powers says:
::sits back and lets her kiss him::

Host CO_Storal says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Very well. We are leaving. ::walks back over to Elove::

Kayleen says:
::runs her fingers through his hair, breathing into his ear and whispering gently to him::

XO_Naegle says:
::looks sternly at the doctor:: CMO: Dr. Powers!!

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: walks back to the table ::

Host CO_Storal says:
Elove: I'm sorry Mr. Naroma, but we must leave. There is a situation and we must return to the ship.

CMO_Powers says:
XO: It would be rude to pass up their hospitality sir. ::smiles at Janet while easing Kayleen away a small amount::

Action: As the CMO and Kayleen begin a passionate embrace, Kayleen is suddenly racked with violent shivers. She begins to gasp for air and clutches the CMO.

CMO_Powers says:
::gets out a tricorder and scans Kayleen::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: runs to where the CMO is :: All:  What the...?

XO_Naegle says:
::jumps up:: Kayleen: Are you okay, ma'am?

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks over at the CMO:: CMO: What is it?

CMO_Powers says:
CO: It's severe anaphylactic shock sir

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: Can you treat it?

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Can I give her a hypospray or does the Prime Directive ban me?

XO_Naegle says:
::grabs the CMO's medikit and hands it to him::

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: No it does not. Treat it.

Action: Kayleen gasps for air, her eyes wild and fearful as she looks to the CMO for help without saying a word.

CMO_Powers says:
::scans again:: CO: I don't know the cause so I can't treat it sir.

CMO_Powers says:
::tries giving her a generic treatment::

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: Can you find out more on the ship?

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Maybe sir.

Action: It has little effect on Kayleen as she closes her eyes and goes into a coma.

Host CO_Storal says:
CMO: Take her back to the ship. You and her are to remain in strict quarantine...

Elove Naroma says:
ALL: Kayleen!!

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
CO: Shouldn't we take her to the ship, Sir?

XO_Naegle says:
::stands by helplessly as the doctor attempts to revive Kayleen::

Host CO_Storal says:
CTO: Make sure that both of them don’t leave sickbay.

Action: The tricorder bleeps indicating That Kayleen's life signs have deteriorated. Her lifeless body lies on the ground before the away team.
