Adm_Griswold says:
All: Ok everyone. First off this mission to Giddeon V will be classified and your reports will be sent directly to me. Is that understood.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Yes sir

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ADM: Aye sir

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods in agreement ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::thinks to herself that classified mission is a fancy way of saying dangerous mission::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::thinks to himself here we go again::

Adm_Griswold says:
All: We received a message from Giddeon V about 3 days ago. However it seems that there has been not contact with this planet since the USS Dewdrop recorded being there 102 years ago.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans on the table and listens ::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: listens carefully ::

Adm_Griswold says:
All: Your mission is to go there and investigate whether or not there has been contamination to this planet from when the Dewdrop visited it.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: raises her hand ::

Adm_Griswold says:
All: The Apache has been fitted with special instruments so that you can contact the planet upon your arrival.

Adm_Griswold says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Yes.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
ADM: Sir, do Federation databanks have the records of the Dewdrop's logs?

Adm_Griswold says:
FCO: No however you will be provided with a record of the Dewdrop's log pertaining to this planet however they are a little sparse.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::raises hand ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
ADM: Thank you sir.

Adm_Griswold says:
CTO: Yes

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ADM: Can you specify what the special instruments are and what they are for sir?

Adm_Griswold says:
CTO: Yes they are a special UHF transmitter and receiver  to contact the planet along with a code machine to decipher the messages sent to you.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
::raises hand::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
ADM: What was the message?

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: yes Cmdr.

Adm_Griswold says:
CIV: The message simple said " Fedration we need to have contact with you again"

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Do we have enough data from the initial reports to project how far the society should have evolved in the last century?

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: No. The only contact with this planet was through the Dewdrop and the records only showed them to be in the early industrial development stages.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
All: They've come a long way then in a century if they can contact us...and know who we are.

Adm_Griswold says:
All: There is also one strange thing about this message and that is when you contact the planet you should use the code name Condor.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ADM: I take it this mission is black Admiral?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::tail twitches as she already smells something very wrong with this whole situation::

Adm_Griswold says:
CIV: From what Starfleet has determined it has taken a 100 years for this message to reach earth.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Talk about closing the door after the horse has bolted

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: So a lot could have gone wrong or right in a century

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
ADM: What happened to the Dewdrop after they left?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
ADM: Then it's possible that they don't need us by this time.

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: Exactly

Adm_Griswold says:
CIV: She continued in the service of the federation for a few more years and then was decommissioned.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
ADM: Why did they make contact with the planet?

Adm_Griswold says:
FCO: That is what we are hoping however we need to check it out to make sure there wasn't any contaminations from the contact.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sits patiently listening::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: raises hand again ::

Adm_Griswold says:
CIV: It seems that the ship had sustained some heavy damage in an asteroid field and needed  some items that was on this planet to make the repairs. As I said the records are a bit sparse on this area.

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: Yes

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::slowly raises hand::

Adm_Griswold says:
:: nods to the CTO::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: hopes Wolf is getting good notes on this ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Are the warp restrictions to be in effect, or are we to proceed at warp 6 so not to draw attention to this mission?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ADM: Do we know if anyone else has had contact

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: No you are allowed to use warp 9 however you don’t need to over tax you engines. While we want you there as quickly as possible one has to remember this message did take a 100 years to reach us so a few day one way or the other wont matter.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
ADM: Also, one last question, Admiral.  After theirs. ::nods to the CO and CTO:: Were  all of the crew was accounted for when they left?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Understood

Adm_Griswold says:
CTO: No Lt there has been no contact with this planet since. It was determined that because of the stage of the development at the time there was to be no contact for at least 200 more years.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ADM: Thank you sir

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::continues taking notes lost deep in thought::

Adm_Griswold says:
CIV: Yes they were. But since Starfleet was still getting started at this time the prime directive did see some abuse during that time.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::has a hard time keeping her attention away from the scratching and movement of Wolf's pen.  Has a deep desire to start batting it::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods to the Admiral:: ADM: Aye, sir.  I imagine that it did.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::thinks he should review the sector Intel reports::

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: Cmdr you crew will be provided with a record of everything that we have on this planet as well as the Dewdrop's records  if there is any other questions that come up during the mission contact me directly.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Yes sir, when do we get under way?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::places his pen down and closes the notebook::

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: Also Cmdr the material in these records are on a need to know basis so I would keep them just among the senior staff for now.

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: As soon as I leave Cmdr. Which if there are no more questions will be now.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
ADM: Aye sir, we are ready to switch to internal power and can be underway within the hour.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: stands as the Admiral indicates he is leaving ::

Adm_Griswold says:
CO: Very well Cmdr I will then take my leave. :: taps his com badge and calls for a transport out::
 
Action: The Admiral it transported off the ship. .

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::watches the Admiral transport away:: All: Well now...that was very interesting.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Interesting was not the word I was looking for ::grins :: Well it looks like its time to get to work.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CIV: I just bet there's more to this than the Admiral is telling us too.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::slides back in seat and looks around::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: there is always more to it than they tell us.
