OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
Duty OPS: I am here to relieve you.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Wolf everything ready to transmit?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sitting at her station, very glad that annoying little rodent of an EO is gone, but wondering about the new OPS::

Duty OPS says:
 OPS: Yes sir, Lt.   :: gets up and turns station over to Salor::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::readies for the transmission to begin::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::takes set and logs in to the console::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You ready to video my good side Mrlr?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods to operations officer :: OPS: Lieutenant.

Goman says:
:: checks his watch:: OPS: Here are the frequencies that the government officials will be contacting us on if thei goes well.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Yes...and I've got the gauze filters all set too...supposedly takes years off of your face. ::grins::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches Goman closely::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
Goman: Understood.  ::inputs the frequencies to monitor::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Lieutenant, monitor the computer core...make sure there is no incoming data during this broadcast.

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::nods to the Klingon::  FCO: Commander.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods at OPS::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: smirks at Mrlr :: CIV: Great so they will think a teenager is flying this ship

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes captain.  ::pulls up the specs on the computer core and have it's information on consule::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::turns a 'yeah right' sound into a cough::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Well everything is ready here, are your television stations ready to carry the signal

Goman says:
:: thinks to himself and they call themselves advanced::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::thinks to self,  was that humor?::

Goman says:
:: checks his watch: CO: Yes they are Captain I will start off and try to explain what is going on and then I will introduce you.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Are you ready little cockroach?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: does a quick check of their position again as she waits for the broadcast to begin ::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::glances at the FCO and thinks how interesting it is going to be working next to a human::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::leans over and speaks quietly:: CTO: Why do you keep calling him cockroach...they look a little more like weasels to me. ::grins::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Very well :: points at a mark on the floor:: if you will stand there the camera will have the best angle.  Ready when you are

Goman says:
CTO: You know something ugly I  wouldn't be sorry if you got thrown out there space.

Goman says:
:: moves to the mark and checks his watch again:: CO: Roger Captain 30 seconds.

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::leans over to the FCO::  FCO: I don't see the logic of them calling themselves other species.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sets the controls to start broadcasting in 30 seconds:: CO: We're ready to go on the mark.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: as the CTO and Goman bicker he leans on the  FCOs console :: FCO: So you come here often :: smiles jokingly :

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles:: Goman: Shall i take you on an inspection of the nearest airlock Little Cockroach?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Begin at your discretion Mrlr

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: I call him a cockroach because I wouldn’t want to insult weasels

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers back to OPS :: OPS: No one said they were logical. :: shrugs her shoulders ::

Goman says:
:: nods to the CIV that it is time::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles at Wolf's comment and then proceeds to turn on the system:: Goman: Start now.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: And your live on cockroach TV
 
OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks back to console watching the data of the systems of COM channels::
 
Goman says:
COM: Planet: People of Giddeon. I am Goman head of the Bureau of extra Terrestrial affairs. I am coming to you now in concerns to the matter of what happened a few hours ago.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: looks over at CTO:: Mouths the words : Extra Terrestrial Affairs?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the Skipper and just shakes his head::

Goman says:
COM: Planet: As you have all been gossiping about a possible invasion from aliens from another planet I am here to tell you that it is not an invasion. The aliens that you seen have just participated in a little example of what power that they have.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sits quietly as not to disturb the broadcast ::

Goman says:
COM: Planet: As a matter of fact I am now broadcasting from the bridge of that very ship:: waves his hand around the area behind him:: and to tell you that they are here to protect us from other aliens being.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::wonders what other alien beings would be stupid enough to get involved with this idiotic planet::

Goman says:
COM: Planet: I will now turn the broadcast over to the Captain of this ship and let him explain his position. CO: Captain if you please.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::has a sudden urge to wave at the camera and mouth the words "Hi Mom!" as she's seen on the old Earth vids::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::crosses arms across his chest::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::just setting there minding his console::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: Moves in front of the camera :: COM: Planet : My name is Grey-feather, as Goman said I am the captain of this space going vessel.  We monitored your planet and realized that you were at a point that you needed protection.  From the course you were taking as well as other species that might exploit your planets resources .

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances over at the operations officer, wondering why a Vulcan would take OPS rather than a science position ::

Goman says:
:: moves back and lets the CO take the spotlight::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::keeps an eye on Goman::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: keeps trying to look friendly while trying not to sweat :: COM: Planet : We realized that with the disputes your governments were having that you would never consent to the help of an outside race.  That was the reason for the demonstration.  We are here to help your planet and your race, so that you might develop peacefully and without of attack from an alien race.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at Goman to see if he has anything further::

Goman says:
:: nods to the CO to continue::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Planet : We respectfully request that a representative from each of your government will attend a summit aboard this vessel.  So that any concerns you might have can be addressed, as well as answering any questions we can about the protection we offer.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: asked in front of the camera ::Goman: Will you act as liaison with these representative?

Goman says:
:: moves up and whisper to the CO: CO: You might want to let them know that what you did was but just a small part of the power of you ship and the other alien races have as much power as you do.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns to face the CO and Goman and smiles ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Planet : We hope to that our protection has come in time, many alien races possess advanced and powerful weapons.  This ship can withstand those weapons.  I can assure you that the demonstration we provided was but a fraction of this ship's power.

Goman says:
CO: Yes Captain as I have been doing since you arrival. COM: Planet: I now ask you the good people of Giddeon to put pressure on you government officials to take up this fine ships offer.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
Self: Or else...

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sits patiently eyes set on Goman::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::monitoring the console thinking that there must be a better way to handle this but the captain has his reasons::

Goman says:
:: motions for the CIV to end the broadcast::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::pushes the button::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: That was fun

Goman says:
CO: Well Captain that went very well I believe. We should hear something from the Government hopefully soon.

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
CTO: I do not see the fun in that.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes a deep breath and turns back to the flight console ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at OPS and smiles::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: From where you were sitting maybe :: wipes brow :: I didn’t know your eyebrows could sweat

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Yep definitely Vulcan

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Something good I hope

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Crew: Well done

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Not that I don’t trust factions...but I don’t.  Yellow alert Wolf.  Shields up

Goman says:
CO: I do also Captain. However till then I believe the ugly one offered to give me a tour of the Air lock what ever that is.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::acknowledges the order and raises shields::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: That was interesting if not totally irrational.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Shields up weapons in standby

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: It's called diplomacy. Now we wait to see if the leaders will respond.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: The airlock is being serviced, you may have a tour of it afterwards.  Why don’t you follow the yeoman to the lounge and relax till the communications come it

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::leans back and starts to feel tired and irritable again.  Her tail lashes back and forth under her chair.::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: If not terrified the population. First contact is almost always a delicate matter.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
OPS: Diplomacy was never logical Mr. Vulcan

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Assign Goman a tour guide if you please, and no tours of the airlock right now :: grimaces at the CTO behind Goman’s back where Goman can’t see ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::grins evilly:: CO: As you wish Mon Capitan

Goman says:
CO: Ok Thank you Captain.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Lieutenant monitor incoming comm. traffic from the planet

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
Self: Coming from a Klingon, that is logical.

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: All comm. traffic is being monitored, sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::assigns a Vulcan TO give Goman a tour::

Goman says:
:: waits for the person to guide him::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope well done, your report was invaluable...you kept me from putting my foot in my mouth

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shakes her head at OPS ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: That was the easy part sir. The leaders won't be so easy to convince.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: Moves towards Mrlr, leans down closer :: CIV: You alright Mrlr, you look like you are about to spring in 4 different directions at the same time

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
Self: Now why would he want his foot in his mouth.
 
Ens. Selak says:
Goman: If you would follow me sir, i will be happy to answer any of your questions ::guides Goman out::

Goman says:
:: follows the TO off the bridge::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: That’s why you are going to be with me during the summit
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Are you sure Captain?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head and whispers back:: CO: I'm fine....just tired and hungry....it's been a long day.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I am

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: I will try my best to assist you sir.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Sure it’s not something you already ate, like the rat on the planet

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::yawns and stretches. Heads for the replicator and orders an extra sweet rakTajino::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Your best is all I can ask. :: grins ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the CIV evilly:: CIV: Do kitties get morning sickness?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles back :: CO: Of course sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::suddenly feels nauseas at the thought of eating a rat or anything else, but swallows and shrugs:: CO: I doubt it...it was just a rat and I've eaten worse while on assignment.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the CTO curiously:: CTO: morning sickness?  Why would a morning make one sick?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: But this planet is mirroring Earths most polluted era. Might want to see the doctor when you get a chance

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
CIV: I believe that is symptom of one being pregnant.
 
Action: The frequency from the Russky government comes to life.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods::CO; I will....I'll....::suddenly stops when she hears OPS and gives the CO a wide-eyed kitty look of...'uh oh...no..it can't be that'::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Morning sickness??? Hmmm that means I would be a .....dad?  I could handle that :: big smile, looking like e is proud of himself ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
OPS: Bingo Mr. Vulcan

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::console lights up::  CO: I am picking up comm. traffic from the government on the frequency that  Goman gave me.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::suddenly smiles:: CIV: You mean I’m going to be an Uncle.....Again?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Have Goman escorted to the bridge, inform him the Russians are ready to have a word

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head frantically:: CTO/CO: No...no...it can't be that.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::contacts Selak and has him return with Goman::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Why you sly dog you
 
OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Is it not against regulations for officers to fraternize?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at Lane:: Lane: You hear the Hope, were going to be an Aunty and Uncle

Goman says:
:: follows the TO back to the bridge::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Either way you should see the doctor.  We don’t need you shredding some ensign for no reason

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: Lieutenant, out in deep space we don't always follow every rule.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Haven’t you missed having a Vulcan on the bridge?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Not really :: grins ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods miserably, sure that Joshua doesn't know the significance of the situation if she was pregnant::

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Maybe I can help with suppressing certain emotions for the crew.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: I suggest you get your facts straight before spreading rumors Lieutenant Wolf.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I will....as soon as we're done here.

Goman says:
:: enters the bridge behind the TO:: CO: Captain I take it we have been contacted?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
FCO: Yes Commander. I apologize for my enthusiasm

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: Only if they wish it.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: jokingly :: CIV: Good or I will have the CTO carry you down there.  CTO: No sense in her ripping me to shreds for trying :: smiles ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Yes by the faction you call Russkies

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::winks at the CO::

Goman says:
CO: Good where can I talk to them at?

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
CO/Goman: I have them on standby,  audio only.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman : Right here
 
OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
::opens the comm. channel for the government officials::  Goman: Channel open.

Goman says:
:: moves to the OPS console:: OPS: If you please.

Goman says:
:: discusses some items with the Russkies and then nods to OPS to close the channel:: CO: That is one so far Captain.

OPS_LtJg_Salor says:
:closes the channel::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches Goman::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Goman: Outstanding.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Maybe I have misjudged you little cockroach

Goman says:
CTO: Well then maybe I have been giving you a little bit of a hard time also. So I am sorry.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Goman: Maybe I shall introduce you to blood wine

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: is relieved that one faction is willing to talk ::

Goman says:
CTO: i will look forward to it :: looks at the captain to see if he really want to do that::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
::breathes a little easier :: All : One down and 4 more to go

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles and goes back monitoring the planet::

Goman says:
CO; Well Captain I am pretty sure my government will participate also.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Well we would be half way there

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::now getting irritable at the waiting and her tail starts lashing again...wishes these people would make up their minds::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I can have your station covered if you want to see the doctor.  Before you kill someone that doesn’t need killing :: smiles ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods:: CO: Fine...I'll go, seeing as you won't give me a moments peace until I do.  ::turns and stalks off the bridge::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Thank you commander :: moves away giving her plenty of room ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Call down and warn the doctor
