Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jacob's Corner I : The Arrival >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::reading up on his Greek mythology  at the secondary station::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::At the MSD in ME monitoring the warp systems and power distribution as the ship speeds to their destination to find out what is going on::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: In the CMO's office with a cold glass of juice going over the information they had from the outpost... it was relatively small, but curious.::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::In her office doing some research on the lost observation team::
CMO_Redwood says:
::sat at the opposite side of the desk from the XO, reading the report on his screen::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I was able to get some reading in last night on Earth's Greek mythology as the team referenced it.  I found that very odd.  How could they have the same... gods, if you will?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO>:CTO: We will be arriving to the planet in 20 minutes.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::while reading he taps his commbadges:: *XO*: Exeter here, arriving in 20 minutes.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Hmm, it is the same story on so many worlds, even my own.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.  Is the area still clear?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a quick check of the transporter systems when she sees they are approaching the planet, in case they will be needed::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I have accessed the database and there’s not much to go on but I think I'll be able to make an away team look like the locals should it be required. I'd have to put my hand up as a volunteer to go though, that would be some experience.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CNS*: Have you figured out where we can safely beam down to the planet to check out the outpost?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Slaves  tactical and checks:: *XO*: Just a second, I'm a bit busy with Plato, Homer and Socrates
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Agreed... but I am concerned about this god issue.  It makes one wonder... ::shakes head::  Will you be able to mask your appearance?
CMO_Redwood says:
::lifts his eyes up:: XO: Ah... yes... that might be an issue... looks like you'll have to bring me back a postcard. ::clearly disappointed::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: half teasingly::  *CTO*: I am encouraged by the expansion of your studies... however...
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*XO*: I'm checking doing a short range scan. Is gonna take a while.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Understanding:: CMO:  If the blind is in tact, perhaps you could join us there.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: lifts a brow:: *CTO*: The scan or your reading?
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander. I've transferred the coordinates to OPS. We'll beam down to the Observation camp.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*XO*: Both.
CMO_Redwood says:
::doesn't comment as the CTO speaks and looks back to his screen thinking over the process he'd go through to change some of the crew's appearance::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CNS*: Be prepared to beam down.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CTO*: Shorten the scan time, I want it all clear before we head down.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::leaves her office and heads down to Transporter Room 1::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*XO*: Standard procedure would be that we contact the base first then send down a probe and if it is advisable we beam down.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CTO*:  We have been trying to contact the base... unless you have received information I have not?  As for a probe... I will leave that to the captain.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*XO*: just quoting the Starfleet scriptures, commander
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::exits his ready room:: CTO: Report Cmdr.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Is this surgical altering just a back-up plan or are the away team all going to be passing by here?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Ye know, for a man who seems to like to break the rules, he is very good at quoting them.  :: smiles::  As for the alteration... how much would be needed should we go down?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Continues monitoring ships systems and prepares to transition from warp drive to impulse drive and reaction control systems for orbital insertion and maintenance::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks up from his station:: CO: Few minutes till we arrive, I'm readying a probe. XO is bent on beaming people down and  brushing up on drivel called, Plato, homer and  some Brazilian footballer called Socrates
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Well if you plan to stay in the observation post, you won't need it, but being as we don't know what happened, I suggest the surgery just in case the problem is that the post was discovered.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: chuckles:: CTO: He isn't a Brazilian footballer he is part of Greek mythology. Have you heard anything from the planet at all?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shook her head::  CMO: I would love to traipse around, but our orders are clear.  If they do not respond, I want to beam in, gather what information we can and if need be, clear the area out, then beam back up.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::feels her stomach growl:: Self: Well, I don't think we're ready to go yet... maybe I could make a stop-off at the cantina? ::grins to herself at her brilliant idea::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: No, sir.  And had a few hits for Socrates and picked the top one, I figured it out that he was the teacher of Plato.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO:  Have you detected any other ships in the area?
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: My point is, if you beam in to a situation where the observation post has been discovered, the last thing you want are your ::catches himself about to say something he might be embarrassed about:: alien looks.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Doing a search ,sir, haven't found anything yet, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Would launching a probe help you with that?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a quick diagnostic of all the sensor arrays, since they are sure to be needed soon as well::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: The probe would be for scanning the outpost and have a few good looks
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: lifts a brow::  CMO: I look that different?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger as long as it doesn't create a problem with the local inhabitants do so I want as much information as we can get before I send any one down.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::finds her way to the Cafeteria and orders herself a sandwich and some icoberry juice:: 
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, sir, launching probe when we are closer, sir
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Perhaps not you, but other members of the away team. Besides, the pictures of them here are lighter skinned. Do we even know if they have dark skinned people such as yourself?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Your guess is as good as mine.  If the blind is in tact, I should be able to go down, but if not, it looks like I might be keeping company on the bridge.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO* : Doctor I need your recommendations on who we should send on the Away Team should we need one.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO>: CO: We are approaching the planet.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger standard orbit.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: launch your probe.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Sir, regulations state that we do send at least one security officer. I’m launching the probe ,sir. It will stay in high orbit and make a few scans and pictures, sir.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO>: CO: Aye entering standard orbit.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Monitors the engines as the warp drive shuts down and impulse drives take over::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly::  CMO: Fair skinned and simple.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The probe is launched.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Try contacting the Base again.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: considers::  CMO:  That probably leaves out our counselor as well... whom I would really like to go.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: attempts to contact the observation team again::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Probe launch, sir, we will have some pictures of the base in a few minutes. you want me to scan and observe the people as well, sir?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: No answer from the Observation Post.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Yes I want as much information as we can get before we send someone down.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: We can change your skin color no problems.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Duckblind is intact, safe to say no ships in the vicinity.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Wrinkles her nose::  CMO: Can we 'clear' the counselors spots?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Have you tried scanning for possible cloaked ships?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: It looks like a normal rock formation from the outside, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz>: CO: No response from the observation post Captain.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I could send out a wide polaron beam
CMO_Redwood says:
*CO*: Captain, the people on the planet look pretty much like light skinned humans. People I recommend are those who can easily be modified to appear human. The Counselor for example would simply need her trill spots covered. Commander Mea'e could also go but it would require a bit more work. ::takes it that the XO doesn't want the alteration so makes it sound like it isn't the best option.:: *CO*: The CSO and CTO also.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Have you assembled an away team yet?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shrugs::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I have a few pictures of the natives, looks like a normal human community. They ain't all western Europeans like we thought, sir.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: I would like to take the counselor and CTO.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger send those pictures to the CMO as well.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Sending it sir :;sends the pictures to the CMO::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Doc we are sending you some pictures from the planet of the inhabitants to update your files.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks at the new pictures and smiles:: XO: Looks like you wouldn't need alterations after all. *CO*: Got them.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger I will have them report to sick bay soon for alterations.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Stands up to move behind him::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: As we can beam down directly I think we can avoid the fancy dress part, sir
CMO_Redwood says:
::swivels his screen for the XO to have a better look::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Has her Department start routine housekeeping and maintenance tasks once the ship has made orbit::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Pick a spot to transport down that is out of the way as I don't think it would be wise to beam into the middle of the village:: smiles::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: So it would appear.  :: Reaches up to touch her nose, the only mark inherited from her Haliian father::  And this could be anything.  I should be fine over all.  Looks like just the counselor's spots will need covering.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Though I am darker then most.  :: smiles::  I got caught in the sun too long?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: What do you show at the observation post's location.
CMO_Redwood says:
::turns his head as far as it'll go to look at the XO behind him without getting up:: XO: I think you'll fit right in. Just make sure you come back in one piece. ::genuine concern::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lightly touches his shoulder before moving away::  CMO: I like all my pieces so I will do my best.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: How do you feel about wearing a toga? ::smiles as he watches her leaving::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CNS*: Counselor, you will need to pop into medical to have your spots altered.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: I’ll beam into the observation post, cargo bay would be big enough, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I am heading for the bridge to catch up on what they have discovered so far.  I must admit, being out of the loop down in medical is one thing I do not miss.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: First thing we can beam in is a camera unit. It can scan the area and have a looks before us to determine it is safe.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger. Report to sick bay and prepare for transport.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Cmdr do you also require the CEO on the Away team?

Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: stops and considers::  CMO: I think I would find it comfortable.  :: smiles::  Now the CTO... got a camera ready?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good Ideal have that done now.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Not at this point sir.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::wrinkles her nose:: *XO*: Aye, ma'am... Self: Not my spots! ::takes her tray to the recycler and heads down to Sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* Roger
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Exeter in a toga is not something I'd want to remember. ::pulls a face::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::orders to send down a camera unit to their beam down point::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I need you to report to the bridge.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: chuckling, leaves medical for the nearest lift.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: On my way Captain. ::Turns over ME to her Senior Engineer and heads for the TL::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Stepping into the lift, orders it to the bridge.::
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As it stops, she steps off and heads over to science to check in and see what they have learned so far.::
CMO_Redwood says:
::watches the XO walk out then moves back to his screen to further look at the new pictures::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::arrives in Sickbay:: CMO: I'm a little upset that you're taking away my racial identity... ::smiles::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Steps off the TL and walks over to the CO:: CO: You called Sir?
CMO_Redwood says:
::stands up as the CNS enters:: CNS: I can't even go down there, so count the sacrifice as acceptable.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CMO: So where do you want me?
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up and over to the Exeter::  CTO:  Where do we stand on things so far?
CMO_Redwood says:
CNS: On a bio bed while I get the tools ready.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CMO: Alright... ::hops up onto a biobed and watches him::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Walks over to the Engineering station on the Bridge:: Computer: Computer, transfer Engineering to Bridge.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: I beamed down a camera unit into the cargo bay of the observation camp waiting on digital feed back. We will be beaming down there
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods::  CTO: As soon as you have completed that and the doctor is finished with the counselor, we will head down and gather what information we can as quickly as we can.  I somehow doubt it was simply a communication malfunction if you have not caught sight of them yet.
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CMO*: I just had a thought... could some illness have caught them off guard?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: Haven't heard a peep out of them and with all these people down there I can't do a specific search, sir
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: frowns::  CTO: They are that close to humans?  Are we looking at a colony world?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: There are differences, but If you don't have the exact specifics of the team it's like trying to find a termite surround by millions of ants
Host XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO: Understood... though the similarities do trouble me.  How does Zeus get onto two totally disparate worlds.  :: shakes her head::  I wish the team had sent more information.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::nods to the XO, but believes the report was close to Greek mythology so they could worship a Zeus like god::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Monitors ship systems and waits on events::
