Captain's Log 10712.16
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
We are currently in orbit of Pentary Prime. We have contacted Doctor McKay and have gotten some information on the monsters. However we are also conducting our own scan to see what we can find. I am also heading down to the planet to see if there is any thing else I can find out from the planets scans of the monsters.

<<<<<<<<<< Monsters II: Round them up >>>>>>>>>>
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: gets up from the desk in the RR and heads for the bridge::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::On the Bridge, at the Engineering station, looking over the data on Dr. McKay's fence, shaking her head and snickering softly::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: walks to the engineering console:: CEO: I know that you haven't had much time but do you have anything yet?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Self: And they actually expected this to work? We are in worse trouble than I thought...
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: I'd recommend we toss this fence idea, Captain, I can't see it working.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::enters the bridge and heads for his station::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Good then lets work on a plan that will work  and since the CTO seems to have decided to sleep in today see if you can find a way to either transport these creatures or even a way to herd them.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Well Sir, we may not be able to transport them unless I can find a way to get past the shields and get a transporter lock, but we might be able to use the runabouts to tractor them at low altitude. After all, you don't have to lock on with a tractor, just grab an area.

FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: checks his station and then sits back::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: That is a possibility also work with the FCO on it as well as a possibility of using the fighters if need be.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: heads for the TL:: FCO: Cmdr you have the bridge. Work with the CEO on her ideals.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: I'm pretty sure an air strikes would work Sir, I can't see these things standing up to type-5 phasers and photon torpedoes. As for the runabouts, we could bring them into low altitude and use the tractors in repel mode, and push the beasties like the cattle scoops on the front of the old locomotives on the railroads.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: looks up and raises and eyebrow:: CO: Aye, sir ::moves to center chair::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Remember I do not want to destroy these creatures unless we absolutely have to.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir, but the priority is to save the colonists, yes?
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Yes and I believe we can do it with our destroying the monsters. Understand.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Yeah and we don't do that by firing photons and level 5 phasers at them
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: If you say so, Captain.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: We fire at the monsters, not the colonists, Commander.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: looks at the FCO and shakes his head:: FCO: I will be on the planet with Doctor McKay if you need me.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: enters the TL:: TL: Transporter room 1.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, sir :: Turns to the CEO::  CEO: A photon torpedo fired on the ground can level anything with a certain diameter, so photons are out
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Shakes her head and goes back to working on her console::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: I'm aware of the area of effect of a torpedo, Sir.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: exits the TL and heads for TR1::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: If that planet wasn't full of colonist we could just lock on and fire away
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: Then why don't we move the colonists out of the danger zones, fire away, and bring them back after we finish?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO We don't have the ability to move 250 million people and there is the humanoid equation of we will screw up something
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
:: enters TR1 and moves to the transporter pad:: TC: Ready to Transport.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: I wasn't suggesting moving everyone at once. We move the people in one area of operations, clean that area out, and then move them back and go to the next area.
Host  SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Captain beams onto the planet
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@:: materializes on the planet and starts looking for Doctor McKay::
Host Dr_McKay says:
@Scenery: The Captain beams into a Lab, with lots of scientists running around.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: prime directive, if they don't want to move we can't force them
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Personally I hate these kind of missions
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Looks up from his screen and notices a new body in the room:: CO: Captain McDuggle I presume.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: I agree totally. I have to give folks the best solutions I can with limited information to make them with.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: Doctor it is good to meet you in person. Do you have any thing more since we talked?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::looks over the sensor data the CTO got trying to find a way past the shield/stealth field these critters seem to have::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO:  Did we send out a probe yet?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@CO: No captain.  We have not gotten anything more.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: Not that I know of, just scanned with full ship's sensors. The CTO was supposed to be on that part.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: A young aide runs in and hands McKay a notepad.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Ready  a few science probes and fire them away. I want detailed scans of the area and scans on those monsters
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@ McKay: Well I can tell you that your fence won’t work as we have run the number so to speak. So we are working on something else with our portable shields.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: Yes Sir. What do you think, class 5's? They have soft land capability and can sit around taking extended readings?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Looks over the notepad:: CO: That was an idea that was floating around.  If you would excuse me I have something to deal with.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: Can I be of any help?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@CO: Um.. well if you would join me then.  ::Walks over to a door::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Well, if we have probes that could just circle the monsters, otherwise send the class 5's
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: Sure :: follows the doctor::
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Walks through the door and to a viewscreen::
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Hits the comm. screen::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@:: checks out what is on the Viewscreen as well::

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: I suppose I could put some probes in very low orbit, but if you want me to follow them we can do that, but fuel will eventually be a problem. Alternately, we could send out some runabouts to scan them at low altitude? They have just as good a sensors, and can be controlled better.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: A fuzzy screen is seen, the Captain is able to see a scientist in an interrogation room.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: Just who it that Doctor?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Ignores the Captain:: COM: Demetri: Has he said anything?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Yeah, send out three runabouts with a pilot and a science officer
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: Well, they are your folks, Sir...
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: I am hoping that he has something to contribute to what has happened?
Host Dr_McKay says:
#<Demetri>: COM: McKay: Nope nothing yet.  He has not told us where he got the compound from.
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Nods and turns:: CO: Captain, this scientist from what we investigated created this monster.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Yeah, but I'm the skipper now :: smiles::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts making some calculations about the size of the settlements and the effective area of the force field projectors::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@:: hears the word compound:: McKay: And this compound is what created the monsters?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@CO: Yes, we have reason to believe this was given to him by an outsider.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*Hangar*: Runabouts one, two, and three, prepare for immediate launch. *Science*: I need three biologists to report to the hangar for away duty right away.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: I see. Do you still have any of the compound around?
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: On the screen a crash is heard, then a big bang.  A wall gets smashed open as two "brutes" waltz in and grab the interrogation officers by the arms and tear them off.  The monsters throw them aside and grab the doctor in the chair.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: one day you'll make a great first officer, ensign ;;smiles::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The doctor is placed on one of the shoulders of the monster and is carried away.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: Starship duty is all about juggling, Sir. He who keeps the most balls in the air wins. ::smirks and goes back to her calculations::
Host Dr_McKay says:
@CO: No. We have not... ::Looks on the screen::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@:: sees the scene:: *FCO*: Cmdr we have a abduction taking place here. See if you can lock on to one of the scientist that is being taken by the monster near here and transport him to the ship.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: moves to the science station:: *CO*: Exeter here working on it, location, please
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Hears the COM and moves to the OPS console and brings up the transporters and starts scanning for the scientist in question::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: Can you send the coordinates of that  room to the ship?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Is in shock:: CO: Yes sending them now ::Sends the coordinates::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Puts the coordinates into the transporter and attempts to lock onto the scientist::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@*FCO* : The coordinates are on their way now.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: I can't get a lock, the field the critters are putting out is effecting his signal too. I'll try and boost the resolution and narrow the confinement beam.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::works on the transporter and tries again::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Well, do you best I'm allocating reserve power to transporters now ::moves to engineering::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: From what I have just witness I believe we have someone behind these monster controlling them.
Host Dr_McKay says:
@CO: Yes, that is what we are afraid of.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: It's not a matter of power, Sir, I just can't get a good lock on him. I'm sorry, but it's no good, we just can't get him with the transporters.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: A picture pops in the top right corner. A young lady's face is seen.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: We can' t get a lock on the scientist no matter what we try, sir
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@:: looks at the screen::
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@*FCO*; Roger I had a feeling but we had to try.
Host Dr_McKay says:
#<June>: McKay: Doctor we just discovered this in the sensor logs.  ::Taps a few buttons::
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Looks on the screen::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: I could beam down and try to save him, sir
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@*FCO* Stand by.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: A ship docking is seen on the top right.  The scientist in question walking up to the ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sets the sensors to track the scientist and returns to her station to resume her calculations::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The door opens up and the scientist walks in.  Markings on the ship are jumbled.
Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@McKay: What is the time of those sensor reading.?
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Taps a few buttons:: CO: About 3 days ago.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The scientist and another figure emerge from the door.

Host CO-Capt_McDuggle says:
@*FCO*: Cmdr have the ship start scanning for a warp trail. It should be about 3 days old. I will see what other information I can get for you.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: If I could get enough force field projectors set up we could probably protect the settlements and at least keep the people in them safe, like in the old days when they hid behind walls. At least that would keep the monsters away from most of the population.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: moves to science:: *CO*: Working on it, sir
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: And who would protect the engineers setting it up ::starts scanning for warp trails or  impulse markings
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
FCO: That would be Lt. Newind and his folks Sir. ::grins::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The scientist walks out and shakes the figures hand, who is hooded.  The figure pulls his hood off
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The picture is jumbled as the resolution is not the best.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CEO: Stating it like that, I would agree
Host Dr_McKay says:
@::Taps a few buttons to clear up the resolution::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: As the picture gets clearer, the figure looks a lot like a Cardassian.
