Captain's Log 10712.09
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Our meeting with Admiral Winters proved to be somewhat informative and a little surprising as the Crew and myself received the Metal of Valor for our rescue of the Admirals from Section 31. I was also promoted to the rank of Captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Currently we are approaching the planet Pentary Prime in response to their distress call. It seems that they have developed for a better description a monster problem that they can't resolve by themselves. We have little information on these monsters as to where they came from or why they are terrorizing the local population. We are hopping <C>
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
that a Doctor McKay can shed a little more light on these monsters once we arrive on the planet.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Monsters I : Arrival>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: is in ready room going over reports::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::In one of the cargo bays, the only place on the ship besides the hangar deck actually big enough to test out the full capabilities of the portable force field generators she was asked to ready for use::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::in his barren office, organizing the tactical teams the Captain requested::
Host SM_Sam says:
INFO: ETA to planet 30 minutes
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::enters the bridge and walks over to the ready room and rings the chime::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the Chimes:: OPS: Enter.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::enters the ready room:: CO: Sir, Ensign Steven Telenvor reporting for duty.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Krew> *CO*: Captain 30 minutes till we arrive at the planet.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Ensign do you have your orders and please sit down.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Yes I do sir. ::hands the orders to the captain and takes a seat::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO_Krew*; Roger place us in a standard orbit when we arrive.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Brings one of the generators to full power and tests it and checks the readings with her tricorder as the shield forms it's full bubble::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: One of the force field generators turn on without notice.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::heads to the armory to meet with his teams and assign gear::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: takes the orders:: OPS: Ok why don't you tell me a little about yourself.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Curses and runs a diagnostic to see what caused the force field to turn on uninvited::
Host SM_Sam says:
<Duty OPS> *CO*: Captain we have a message incoming from the planet.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Well I am from a small family and wanted to get out and explore.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Duty OPS* : On my way. OPS; I guess our little get to know you will have to wait. Take your station. :: gets up and heads for the bridge::
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Yes sir. ::heads out to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: enters the Bridge:: Duty OPS: On screen.
Host Doctor_McKay says:
<Duty OPS> ::Nods and places the comm. on the screen::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Doctor McKay I presume?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::heads to the ops station and relieves the Duty OPS::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight: This is Doctor McKay.  And you are?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: I am Captain McDuggle from the USS Arondight. We are here to help your planet with its little problem.
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight: Yes our little problem, funny that is how you describe that,,, I think it is more that just a 'little' problem.  I think it is more like a huge problem.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: What do you know about these monsters?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::settles the assignments and heads to the bridge::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight: That they are huge bloody and ripping people apart.  What more of a description do you need?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Have the CEO and CTO report to the bridge they should here this also.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts tinkering with the generator to see if she can get it to behave and act like all the rest of the good units::

CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps off the turbo lift and takes his station::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Mckay: First off where did they come from?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Aye sir. *CEO/CTO*: The captain requests your presence on the bridge.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Self: Bloody hell... of all the times...
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
OPS: Already here, ensign.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The force field turns off then turns back on again.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*OPS*: Is this important? I'm in the middle of fixing one of the shield generators...
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::listens intently to the comm. while keeping an eye on tactical systems::
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CTO: Sorry didn't see you walk in, lieutenant.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::simply nods to the OPS, with a small smile::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight: They just appeared out of nowhere.  Now are you going to help us or not?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Curses louder and does another diagnostic to see if she can find the problem::
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
*CEO*: It's about what we will be facing on the planet.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Yes we are. I am under the understanding that you weapons are not effective against them?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*OPS*: Do me a favor, makes some notes and I'll get with you later, OK? I need to get this thing fixed, I was told it was mission essential equipment.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::hears O’Reiley frustration in her voice and sends down a Tactical Techie to go help her out::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight:  Yeah ::Laughs:: If you consider them weapons, I have designed a better toaster oven than that 'weapon"
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Have you tried transporting them to some other part of the planet where they are not near the population?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
*CEO*: Ok I can do that. ::records the communication between Dr, McKay and the Captain::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks up at the mention of a toaster oven... fancies a nice lunch, maybe invite these 'monsters' and talk diplomacy? Naaahhh::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*OPS*: Thanks, O'Reiley out. ::goes back to tinkering with what she thinks is the problem::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight:  That is a good idea.  We did try that but the signal would not lock onto them for some odd reason.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Do you have any portable force field technology?
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight:  Oh wait you guys have that?  Wow I was just in the process of putting one together for field trials.  So you guys are more advanced than I thought,
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: O’Reiley finds a circuit that is not connected properly.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Out loud: Got ya, you little bugger... ::cleans off and then connects the circuit as it is supposed to be::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Yes we do so we will start with that once we arrive. We should be there shortly and will contact you again when we arrive.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
Out loud: Can I see any tactical info Doctor McKay might have on these monsters, and the weapon he's created?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Did you hear my CTO doctor?
Host Doctor_McKay says:
COM: Arondight: Very well.  I will send you the information.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::nods::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Retests the generator with the circuit properly connected::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Thank you McDuggle out:: nods to OPS to close the COM::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Where is the CEO?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::closes the COM link and starts to receive the files from the dr.::
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Sir, the CEO couldn't make it due to a problem with one of the shield generators.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief why aren't you on the bridge as ordered?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks up with some surprise at the CO::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The file is transferred to the Arondight.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::finishes receiving the files and sends them to the CTO's console::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: One of the generators was turning itself on and off Captain. Not only was it mission critical gear, as per your orders, but it was a safety hazard. I have the OPS taking notes for me, I'll look them over when I get a chance Sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Chief and you are the only one in your department that can fix it?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::opens the files and begins looking into them::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I have all the rest of my people that are on shift busy Sir, we are getting the rest of the ship double-checked before we go into crisis mode again.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: Ah, sir, pardon the interruption, but I've figured out the problem with their ineffectiveness in dealing with these... 'monsters'.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Then I suggest you delegate you people a little more responsibly. That problem should have been handed to some one else and then you should have come to the bridge as order. There was a reason I ordered you to the bridge to start with. We will talk about this later.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: What have you found Lt.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: The creatures are shielded against their technology.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Shielded? How?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Continues checking over the rest of the generators and the power units to make sure they are all up-to-speed::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: It should be a relatively simple problem to solve, but I'll need some more info direct from the source, most likely during some recon.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Can you do it from orbit or do we need to get closer?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::upon hearing the CTO's comments opens the files and starts looking through them::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: I can't be sure just how they're shielded because the sensors used to get this info were unable to get past the shield itself.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: I may, I may not. I know next to nothing about this shielding aside from what I can hypothesize. Our sensors may be able to penetrate the shields, but if not, I can take a team down and do some reconnaissance.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Have a shuttle ready to launch if the need arises.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: You will need to assemble a team to take with you if we have to.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Aye sir. ::starts getting a shuttle ready to launch::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, sir. I have a team ready for your approval, if it comes to it.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks over to the FCO:: FCO: What's the current ETA?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: You are the one that will have to approve them as you will be in charge of it if need be.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Krew> CO: Captain we have arrives at the planet and am placing the Arondight into standard orbit.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Finishes checking the generators and starts checking the power supply units to make sure they are ready and fully charged::
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::scans the planet for the creatures::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the FCO:: CTO: Start you scans and see what you can come up with.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: See if you can get Doctor McKay on the COM.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Satisfied everything is now as it should be, she shuts all the generators and power units off and takes a turbo lift to the Bridge::
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Aye, sir. COM: McKay: Dr. Captain McDuggle would like to speak with you.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::gets sporadic readings from the sensors:: Self: Interesting. ::readjusts the scans and attempts them again::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
@COM: Arondight: I am quite a busy man, oh wait this the starship that is helping us.  What can I help you with?

OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CO: Sir Doctor McKay is on the COM.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Walks off the turbo lift onto the Bridge and heads over to the OPS station:: OPS: So, what did I miss?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Doc we are in orbit of your planet now and are starting some scans or our own. Do you have any more information for us by chance?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
CEO: Here is a padd with the conversation that happened earlier.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
OPS: Thanks. ::smiles and takes the PADD and starts reviewing the data::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
@::Spots the new addition on the bridge:: COM: Arondight: Who is that in the red hair?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::frowning at his console:: COM: McKay: Can I get the sensor calibrations you're using?
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::smiles:: CEO: Your welcome.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: That is our CEO Doc however I don't see what that info has to do with what I ask?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Looks up as she is being spoken about, curious::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
@COM: Arondight: Yes that has really nothing to do with her.  I mean nothing to... ::Pauses:: Anyways I am sending you the sensors readings we have.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Doc do you have anything on what this scientific community is doing?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
COM: McKay: Ah, Doctor McKay, could I get the calibrations you're using as well? It would be helpful if I need to track these creatures on my own.
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::receives the info he needs:: COM: McKay: Thank you. ::begins trying to adjust the sensors according to the data, which is much less advanced::
Host Doctor_McKay says:
@COM: Arondight: We are trying to find a way to lure them into an area and then lock them in with a fence.  Powered by 3000 joules of electricity.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Shrugs and goes back to looking over the PADD with the data on it::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Then they had nothing to do with them appearing on the planet?
CTO_Lt_Newind says:
::does another scan with the new calibrations and frequency:: COM: McKay: ::while still looking at his console:: I hardly think putting a big fence around these creatures is going to be an effectual method, but that's just a few centuries of experience speaking.
Host Doctor_McKay says:
@COM: Arondight: Not that I am aware of, as usual I am left out of some important stuff, but when things go bad, I am always called in.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: McKay: Roger we are also sending you what we have learned since our last conversation :: nods to OPS to send the data::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief I want to see you in my ready room as soon as we are done here.
OPS_Ens_Telenvor says:
::nods and sends the data to the doctor::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Captain.
