CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::transfers the targeting data to the CO`s console::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::on the bridge going over the latest reports from around the ship::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Targeting data for the EMP`s has been transferred to your console

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: sitting in his chair looking over the data :: CTO:  Understood Wolf.
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: grabs her padd and turns around :: CO: Care to look over the telemetry report and course projections? :: holds it out to him ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: The science department has been able to come up with a few ideas for changes in the books.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: takes the padd and looks it over :: FCO: This looks good Hope, going to be bumpy but the numbers look good

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: I plan on placing several devices in geo-synchronous orbit and detonating them simultaneously. Thereby taking things down all at once

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles :: CO: I'll try and keep her smooth sir.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Really, nothing too drastic I hope.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: smiles back and the FCO in acknowledgement ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::picks his coffee mug up and sips at it::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins:: CO: Oh nothing much...just idolizing cats and worshipping gorgeous cat figures....things like that.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Make sure the you have sufficient output, I dont want one recording device to have information left on it

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I could endorse that, you doing the pictures for that one Mrlr :: winks and grins ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues with her course projections ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::makes the necessary adjustments::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: How soon before your departs will be ready for this operation?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: CO: We thought it best to steer them towards cooperating to reach for the stars.  Hopefully they will put all their energy and technology towards space travel and trade...and not weaponry.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: When you give the order oh fearless leader

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans slightly to her left :: CO: Helm is ready when you are sir.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Well then I guess we better tell Goman and his friends what we are about to do.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Open a channel to Goman
 
CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Do we have to?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: They are replicating the books as we speak.  We'll be ready to transport the old ones out and the new ones in as soon as we shut down their technology.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::opens a channel to Gorman:: CO: Channel open.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Well it is only polite since we are about to alter their entire society.  My mother always said to be polite :: grins ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Mrlr and shrugs ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::thinks that for a moment there, the CTO sounded just like her ten-year-old son::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Well done Mrlr

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: We are not in polite places

Goman says:
COM: CO: Goman here  It is good to hear from you  I was commencing to think you had left.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::gives Hope a wink and a quick grin::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goman: No sir just preparing.  We think we have a way to clean up the mess that the Dewdrop left

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::rechecks his targeting solutions and readies the launch packages::

Goman says:
COM: CO: That is good to hear and just how do you plan on doing so?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sets her course and waits ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: hides a laugh as he realizes he is speaking politeness with a Klingon, just lets Wolf continue with his work ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::leans back and waits for Gorman's reaction to their plan::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::pulls a cigar out and puts it in his mouth, and continues his work::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goman : Do you remember what it was like before the development of the technologies you have now that are threatening your planet?

Goman says:
COM: CO: I am afraid not Captain as I have always lived with what we have now.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Wolf still wondering what he sees in those foul cigars ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goman : Then this will be a new experience for you.  Because shortly your technology is going to cease to exist

Goman says:
COM: CO: You are the advanced society so I guess I will trust what you are doing.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Ready here skipper

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers to Mrlr :: CIV: Goman doesn't seem worried that his world is about to be changed forever.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::wonders if Gorman would be so trusting if he learned that they really had no idea if this would work or not::
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::whispers back:: Gorman: I think they haven't ever had to think for themselves.  That alone will be a shock for their systems.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goman: Your governments should be so busy keeping control that fighting with each other will be beyond them.  Since you will have no way to contact us when we are done, go to where we beamed down. If all goes well we will meet you there afterwards

Goman says:
COM: CO: Aye Captain I will see you there. Goman out :: closes the Channel::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Stations please, its time to fix what was done here

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Helm answering.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Ready to deploy here

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We're ready as we can be.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Commander take us in

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir.
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Mrlr stand by to replace their library, do it after we enter the atmosphere and everyone is busy panicking

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Shields at maximum, SI field to maximum

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: begins the slow descent ::
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Begin launching at the coordinates, bring up the inertial dampeners as well

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sets the launch sequence to auto and adjusts the inertial dampers::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: The computer has control of the firing sequence, inertial dampeners to maximum
 
Action: The Apache make her way into the atmosphere with a little roughness but does what is expected

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::initiates the auto-firing sequence::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: nods at the CTO :: CIV: What is the reaction on their comm. channels

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
All: Heading down, course heading 233.43. I suggest you all grab something to hang onto.
 
Action: The EMP pulse goes as planned and the planet goes dark.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Pulse fired

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: And there go the lights folks

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Telemetry coming in......:: looks at Wolf :: It's working.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::listening in on the communications:: CO: Well...before everything went black there was a lot of chatter.  But it went dark before I could decipher any of it.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: watches as the planet begins to go dark :: CTO: Looks like you hit the nail on the head Wolf...well done

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Was there ever a doubt? ::winks::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles at Wolf ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Thank you Mon Capitan

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Targeting their library  for the replacements. ::targets the library and starts to exchange the books::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Well just think we will never have to hear about the stinky monkey...or whatever it was

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Good

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I don't know...after a while that Smelly Monkey sort of grew on a person.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Approaching Goman's coordinates, in case you were curious.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Status Hope, how is the ship holding up?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We're fine sir.
 
Action: Sensors start picking up small electrical generators being brought up.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I think we better let the smoke clear a bit before beaming down.  I am sure this was more than he was expecting

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins as she sees the sensors:: CO: The libraries have been exchanged.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We have small electrical generators being fired up.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CO: Understood sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: Emergency backup generators

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins scanning the planet::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Are they civilian for medical facilities or other use

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Mostly hospitals and government buildings.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Target the ones feeding the government building.  Shut them down.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins to target the governmental generators and begins firing directed pulses at them::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper
 
Action: The buildings that are being targeted again go dark.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Nice shooting

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins running another set of scans::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles:: CIV: Why thank you ma’am

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Agreed.  Nice shooting, you should really try out for CTO on this ship :: big cheesy grin::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: manages to keep the Apache level through the run ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Droll Mon Capitan

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Every one is a critic

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head at the CO's cheesy expression and goes back to monitoring the planet::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Maintain your course Hope.  Let’s get another scanning pass then take us back into orbit

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Of course Captain. :: looks at Wolf ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: You ready for another set of scans?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: you could always make me XO

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Yes commander

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sets up another set of scan::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Let me know when you've completed them.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::runs the scans::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
::rubs chin like he is pondering the issue :: CTO: Well I could but then you would be sitting next to me...with those cigars....I don’t know

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::quickly dumps the cigar:: CO: Better?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Done

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::checks the results::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves her fingers quickly over the panel as the Apache begins her ascent ::
 
Action: The Apache makes the pass and heads back into a high orbit.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Scans complete sir. Taking us up.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
:: transfers the results to Mrlr::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV/CTO: Anything interesting or have we just put them back into their century?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Nope the lights are all out

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: As far as I can tell.  We'll know better once we get down there and speak to Gorman.  With all of the chaos down there, I could even do a little recon into one of their government buildings to see what data was all lost

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Good, but the guns are all working still so get your security detail ready

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sends orders to his Tac team::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Just be careful some wet behind the ears kid with a gun doesn’t hang your pelt on a wall somewhere
 
Action: The communications system on the planet comes to life while a little on the weak side they are now quite busy.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Orbit achieved Maintaining position.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins and then listens:: CO: I'm picking up communications...it's faint and doesn't reach as far as it normally does.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins monitoring the COM network::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Maintain standard orbit.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Can you make out what they are saying?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, standard orbit.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::lowers the shields and resets the SIF and inertial dampeners::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: All systems show normal skipper

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::frowns as she tries to pick up what they are saying and then looks at the sensors:: CO: It's all about the recent attack.  It looks like they are running on batteries.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Launch a probe and use it as a relay, I want to know what they are saying.  If we just inconvenienced them or if this is the end of their cold war

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I am picking up a few news reports about global panic.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and readies a recon probe for launch::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Probe is ready

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: frowns :: CIV: That’s bad but it would be worse if they had a world war instead

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Launch

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::launches the probe::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Probe away

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Once the probe is in position, match it.  We will likely have to move it from area to area

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::waits for the incoming data stream::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Understood Captain.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: ETA to probe position?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: She’s there now, I have an oncoming DataStream

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ALL: You gotta see this. I have what appears to be a mass protest building around the Main government buildings

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Thanks

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: matches the Apache with the probe ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Put it on the main screen

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ALL: It appears to be a planet wide movement

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::puts it up on the main viewer::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: the Berlin wall has come down folks
 
Action: The view screen light up showing masses of people near government building. A lot of them have rifles and shotguns showing and are waving them in the air.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: thinks that is what this planet needs...a movement ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Looks like the people are less than thrilled with their governments

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::thinks for a moment:: CO: I wonder if we could set the transporter on a wide dispersal to catch only the firearms?  I could target anything that has gun powder in it.
 
Action: a couple of the hydra electric planets are starting to produce power again.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: There is going to be massive blood shed.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
ALL: We have some hydro electric plants coming up

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Hit those plants again

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::targets the plants and fires another series of pulses::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Done

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Try it, anything with gun powder.  Beam it wide dispersal into space
 
Action: The plant goes down again. And the view on the screen changes to show everyone with weapons pointed towards the sky.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Shall I raise shields? :: gives a sly grin::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::targets the transporters on a wide dispersal at the main crowd with the most weaponry:: CO: Targeting now.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Make it happen before they hurt themselves

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::attempts to transport the weapons::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::puts on his best Picard voice:: Self: make it so number 1
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: You can take us to yellow alert, it will look good on the ships records bank

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: You gotta be kidding
 
Action: As the weapons disappear the crowd suddenly dissipate and everyone heads for their homes at a dead run.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: CO: remind me of mice scattering for their little holes.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: No hunting them :: grins ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Okay but if some farmer puts a dent in the ship...it is coming out of your pay

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::grunts::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:;wrinkles her nose daintily:: CO: Please....sentient beings taste terrible.  All those chemicals they eat. ::shudders::
