FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: puts the shuttle into a low orbit about the planet and sets the automatic pilot :: CO: We're in low orbit sir. I've set the automatic systems.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: Checking his gear getting ready for transport, wondering if the CIV is going to kill him slowly or quickly for having to wear the leash ::  FCO: Very good, voice print and id code to unlock the controls if you please commander

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sits ready::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::finishing putting her leash and collar on, along with the breastplate and anklets and wrist bracers.  Tucks her other gear into a satchel and tosses it to Joshua:: CO: You'll have to hold onto these. ::strikes a pose:: How do I look?

CO: Aye sir, voice print and ID code set. :: taps the sequence ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns to see Mrlr :: CIV: You get all the fun stuff Commander. :: chuckles ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: grabs the satchel and just kind of looks at her :: CIV: You look fine Mrlr  :: whispers something about needing to keep this outfit for a more private time, and puts the satchel on his back ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chews on his cigar::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: You squad ready lieutenant?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Yes Captain

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles at Hope:: FCO: Just wait until you see how sticky my fur gets from little kids with candy in their hands trying to pet me.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: This isn’t natural

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::aside and quietly:: CO: You will pay for this...you do realize that. ::gives him a grin showing her canines::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances over at Wolf :: CTO: You going to chew on that thing the whole time?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::glares at Lane:: FCO: If I have to look like this then yes. Yes I will

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: whispers back :: CIV: No biting remember, nibbling is allowed but no biting :: grins mischievously at her ::
 
Action: The shuttle is being hailed from the planet via the Apache's COM system.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shrugs and grabs her gear after checking the controls one last time ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We're being hailed again.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Open the channel

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::opens the channel::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: watches Mrlr ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins to flick his Zippo lighter open and closed::

 Goman says:
COM: CO: Captain we are ready for you anytime you are. There is enough room in this building for you to transport down 100 people if you feel you need that many.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Do you have to do that Wolf? :: indicates his flipping ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Sorry ::stops and puts the lighter away::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goman: That is most hospitable of you Goman, but my standard team and honor guard will be sufficient.  Expect us shortly

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gives Wolf a small smile ::

 Goman says:
COM: CO: Roger I will meet you when you arrive.:: Closes COMs::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Stand by for transport, let’s go see how mad we made the neighbors...and see just how friendly this Goman is

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves into position for transport ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::holds his shotgun ready and moves into position::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Lets rock and roll

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sets the transporter to automatic and steps up on the pad.:: CO: Stand by for transport.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: takes position on the pad next to the CIV and takes the leash ::CIV: Energize

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::hits the button and drops to all fours and growls:: All: Anyone calls me kitty, they will be receiving a new orifice in a very painful place.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles at Mrlr's comment ::
 
Action: The Crew materializes in a large warehouse like building. At the far end of the building there stands one lone figure. He is about 1.25 meters high and has a weasel like look to him.
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:;quickly scans the room with his eyes::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves a few steps and rests a hand on her concealed phaser ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::brings the shotgun up and signals his team to spread out::

 Goman says:
:: sees the crew materialize in the building and after checking them over walks up to the CTO:: CTO: Captain are you happy with yourself?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks up at the little weasel as he approaches and sniffs the air::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: adjusts her gear as Goman approaches ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: moves forward keeping his free hand ready to draw his phaser::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at weasel face:: Goman: I am not the Captain ::points at Grey-Feather::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: whistles :: Goman: I am Commander Grey-feather, captain of the Apache

 Goman says:
CTO: Really you look like you were the one giving all t he orders. Sorry.

 Goman says:
:: Turns to the CO: CO: Well captain are you happy?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::hides a smile and sits demurely next to the CO::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Nope, ::bites down on the cigar::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::flicks his lighter out and lights the end of the cigar. Blows smoke at Goman::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves closer to Wolf and whispers :: CTO: Well you do look rather command like at the moment. :: chuckles ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: in a condescending tone :: Goman : Most days, depends on whether I have a good breakfast or not....Now can we both drop the sarcasm?

 Goman says:
:: ignores the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles at Lane:: FCO: Doesn’t have much of a sense of humor does he?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks down on Goman::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
::scratches Mrlr behind the ears for appearance ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: just shakes her head ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::rests the shotgun on his hip and watches the exchange::

 Goman says:
CO: Fine to be truthful I probably should be thanking you. In one fell swoop you have almost succeeded in uniting this planet.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: United against us correct?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::starts to blow smoke rings::

 Goman says:
:: looks down a the CIV:: CO: Correct. Also that is a nice kitty but you should put some clothes on her.
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::eyes scanning the room::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::flicks an ear at Gorman::
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: I wouldn’t call her that if I were you

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: stares at Goman ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Gorman: You dress your pets here on Giddeon V?  Beyond that is there anything else we should know about the Dewdrops visit a century ago before me cause any more trouble?

 Goman says:
CTO: Really why? Here we have our Cats and dogs in clothing.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::they probably taught their dogs to poker no doubt...after that painting that is in every bar in old Terran::

 Goman says:
CO: Only that you will be just dealing with 4 of us on this whole planet for now.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: She takes offense to being called Kitty

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::lowers his voice:: FCO: I wonder if he’s talking about Caitians and Anticans?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nudges Wolf :: CTO: Don't make waves as they say.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Gorman: Why did the 4 of you summon us here, if we are to be such a secret

 Goman says:
CTO: And just how would you know she is after all just some dumb animal right?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the CIV:: Goman: Yeah right

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nudges Wolf again :: CTO: I suggest you keep your eyes open for any problems.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::raises a front paw and starts to clean it while hiding her expression that she is giving the CTO that says in any language for him to just play along and hush::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and blows another smoke ring::

 Goman says:
CO: Well part of that you may have already done for us. However over the last 100 years this planet has become very distrusting of each other and we were hoping that you could help us in that area.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::drops the cigar and squishes it with his foot::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::eyes expertly scan the room::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Well that can be arranged, but how would this be accomplished unless the 4 of you controlled the entire planet

 Goman says:
CTO: If you like we could get you some more of those. ::points to the Cigar he just dropped::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::moves matter-of-factly towards a darker section of the building::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at Goman over his shoulder:: Goman: Thanks but i have plenty

 Goman says:
CO: In a way Captain we sort of do or at least we control the how the information is distributed.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::turns his back to the group and pulls a tri-corder out and begins scanning the area::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: wonders why she's here at all ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::stretches and stands up on all fours again and starts to head over to the outside of the room, sniffing and pulling her leash from Joshua’s hand....acting like the typical bored, curious cat::

 Goman says:
CO: So Captain if you will follow me we can meet the rest of the people in our group. :: Turns and heads for a door near the far end of the building::
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::snaps the scanner shut and rejoins the group::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: pulls slightly on the leash to pull Mrlr back closer :: Goman : Proceed

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Lieutenant time to move out

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::turns and follows after Joshua and the rest, giving Hope a little wink behind Goman's back::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::follows the group::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Commander contact the Apache and update them that we are on the ground and will report in every hour

 Goman says:
 CO: And Captain could we loose part of this group I will see that anyone left here will be taken care of.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: follows Goman with Mrlr's leash still in his hand ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, right away. :: moves off to the side and calls the Apache ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at Goman after his comment::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::walks beside Lane::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: completes the call and follows the rest ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::whispers:: FCO: Why do i get the feeling not all is as it seems

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Very well, but my pet stays with me

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: motions for the CTO and FCO to get closer ::

 Goman says:
CO: That is fine Captain it is just that there is not enough room where we are going to accommodate all these people. :: Waves his hand at the security team::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers back :: CTO: I agree that Goman is not being completely honest with us, but until we have more to go on, we'll have to watch him closely.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: they stay

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman : How many can you accommodate?

 Goman says:
CTO: Very Good. There will be some food delivered to them.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods curtly::

 Goman says:
CO: Around 7 Captain.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Instruct your men that if we do not make contact in one hour they are to return to the shuttle.  If they cannot find us with sensors return to the Apache and notify Starfleet

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves closer to the group ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Then it will be the 3 of us and my pet

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper ::turns and relays the instructions::

 Goman says:
CO: Captain do your personal know how to use that phone? :: points to a wall phone at one side of the building::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches intently::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: I think I remember, do I have to dial 9 first to get an outside line

 Goman says:
CO: Actually captain all they have to do is when it rings is pick it up and say hello.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Wolf then back to the Captain and Goman ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Very well, but if I get an obscene phone call...I am charging extra

 Goman says:
:: chuckles:: CO: If you do, let me handle it.
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sniffs the ground as they walk along and peers into any shadowing areas listening.  Sneezes at the old musty warehouse smell that is everywhere::
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Can I order pizza and charge it to you?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: moves towards the phone :: CTO: All meat extra cheese right?

 Goman says:
:: opens the door which leads down a set of stairs.:: CTO: What is a Pizza?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Yep

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Deep dish would be nice

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::is with Gorman...what is a pizza?  Although she liked the sound of the cheese::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: You don’t know what pizza is?

 Goman says:
:: Looks at the group like they are Crazy:: Self: And this is what Starfleet sends me.

 Goman says:
CTO: Never heard of it before.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks the whole bunch are crackers ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Then your missing a great dish

 Goman says:
CO: Captain if the 3 of you and your pet will follow me. :: heads down the stairs::

 Goman says:
CTO: Maybe you can teach us what one of those is then?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: heads down the stairs behind Goman ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins thinking he could use a beer and pizza::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Maybe

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: follows Goman down the stairs, whispers to the FCO ::FCO: Commander stay close to me, Wolf will bring up the rear

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and takes up position::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Just remember no heart of Targ on my part of the pizza

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves even closer to the Captain ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CO::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::walks in front of Joshua to lead then down teh stairs::
 
Action: The group heads down the stairs finding themselves in a long underground corridor::
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Hitler’s bunker I presume

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Goman: Why are your people down here?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: watches Mrlr in front of him:: Himself : Remember she is your pet....not a gorgeous Caitian...just your pet.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks down the corridor ::

 Goman says:
FCO: We aren't this is a tunnel leading to another building where we are located this way you don't come in contact with the locals.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::eyes constantly looking for trouble::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: If they did had pizza nobody would deliver down here

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods to Goman ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: What effect did exposure to the Dewdrop have on your people?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Barbarians

 Goman says:
CO: Well we will show you the library when we get to the other place.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sniffs the air and listens as they move down the corridor, notes the odd rank of gunpowder but not enough to alarm her.::
