=/\==/\==/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10310.26 - "Solving Problems – Part VII"=/\==/\==/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
As investigations continue to determine who sabotaged the Elara and cost her six lives and one nacelle, one name seems to be implicated. Ensign Solie, as soon as he is dealt with all will be solved. Or will it?
Host SM_Lilia says:
Meanwhile, the real reason why the Elara went to New Rio de Janeiro Colony in the first place maintains. Will Peace ever be achieved?

Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::on bridge near Tactical::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie>CO: We have an incoming transmission from the planet. It’s the President, Arak
Thibodeaux says:
::with the AMB wondering where she is taking him::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
OPS: put it through to my RR ::walks toward his RR entrance::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ambassador Trun>::with her two aids plus Thibodeux::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Lesley is still unconscious. Still in a coma. Can the CTO convince a doctor to wake her up, possibly at the cost of her life?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::in the corner of sickbay watching the wounded being tended to by the medical staff, feels something he doesn’t normally feel, anger::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Ensign Solie>*CO*: On your screen now
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::enters his RR and sits down activates the screen::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The Captains laptop screen is suddenly filled with the face of the Vulcan president Arak
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::finishes with a patient in the corner::
Host President_Arak says:
CO: Captain, Things have escalated on the planet. We are detecting hundreds marching from each side to the capital.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::then heads over to the CTO:: CTO: What happened to Lesley?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Arak: Forgive me Arak, we are doing everything possible things are not alright up here onboard my ship, its seems your conflict has found a place onboard the Elara too.
Host President_Arak says:
<Ambassador Trun>::exits the turbo lift to the bridge::
Thibodeaux says:
::follows::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::watches blankly ahead as his tail swishes behind him:: CNS: She took an overdose of painkillers before I could stop her. The only problem is my investigation rests on the information she might have but at the moment she is in a coma
Host President_Arak says:
CO: That is most disturbing Captain. We did not know either of the factions had outside contacts. We are now pretty sure the leader of the Klingons was killed by one of their own. But they won't believe it
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Arak: Arak, with all that is happening we can't be too sure of who is doing what to who? I have six dead and several injured someone has sabotaged the Elara by blowing up our port nacelle.
Host President_Arak says:
<Ambassador>::looks around:: Thibodeux: looks like the Captain is busy elsewhere
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::sighs:: CTO: I see. 
Thibodeaux says:
AMB:I guess we will wait.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Arak: we do not have who or what is behind it
Host President_Arak says:
::blinks just barely:: CO: But do it quickly Captain or you will have no colony to save
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sits in his quarters for a moment considering his options::
Host President_Arak says:
CO: As soon as they reach the capital with their armies there is no stopping this war. We are preparing to evacuate whoever wishes to leave
Host President_Arak says:
<SO Witherman>::whispers:: XO: I have new information. It is very strange. But I can't tell it over the com ::looks up at OPS::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::finds the CMO:: CMO: I am heading back to the bridge as things here seem to have calmed down a bit, however Hakkinen may wish to speak with me when those sedatives your nurse gave him wears off.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Arak: Anything I can do in the meantime, can't you persuade the commanders to hold off until we get a chance to start the negotiations
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::blinks and looks at the CNS:: CNS: I think its time we got to the bottom of this isn’t it ::smiles and moves towards the CMO:: CMO: Is it okay if I use your office for a moment?
Host President_Arak says:
CO: You have their leaders aboard. We trust you to do the best to save us. Now if you will excuse me I have work to complete
Thibodeaux says:
AMB:I would like to know what is happening on the planet.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Arak: understood Wall out
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns back to the CTO:: CTO: That would certainly be helpful, Do you need any assistance here?
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::nods to Janan::  CTO: Of course.
Host President_Arak says:
<edit the SO, make that *XO*>
Host President_Arak says:
<Hakkinen>::lying in his biobed, not sleeping, just looking at the ceiling::
Host President_Arak says:
ACTION: The image on the CO's screen fades off
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: can you please have our two guests from the planet report to my RR
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CNS: I may do in a moment, but I need to make one communication first ::makes his way quickly into the "privacy" of the CMO office::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*SO* Understood, see me in my quarters
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and just waits outside the office::
Host President_Arak says:
<SO Witherman>*XO*: Your office? ::blushes:: *XO*Aye sir
Host President_Arak says:
<office = quarters>
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*XO*: Mesme to Timrok.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* Aye Captain
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CTO* Go ahead
Host President_Arak says:
<SO Witherman>::leaves the bridge. a blueshirt takes her position::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::makes her way to the Captain's ready room and knocks on the door::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he stands up pulls on his tunic looking out his ready room window unsure of the situation that is happening around him::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*XO*: Sir I have come up with some information on the bombing, can I speak to you in private?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CTO* Yes Come to my office
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>::rings the bell at the XO's quarters::
Thibodeaux says:
::waits with AMB::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Door: enter
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Door: Come In!
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
*XO*: On my way, Mesme out ::exits the office and smiles at the CNS:: CMO: Can you let me know when Lesley is well enough to be woken up please?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::enters, followed by Tin, Tun and Thibodeux::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives the CTO a curious look and then returns the smile::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: Hello Captain. You look like a worried man
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::nods::  CTO: Yes, sir.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>XO: I know who beamed out ::enters the room and sits in the first chair she finds:: XO: But I don't believe it
Thibodeaux says:
::orders him a glass of water and sits down::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CNS: Looks like I have some rounds to do before I am going to need your help, perhaps I can borrow you a bit later on
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::turns around and steps behind his RR desk to face his guest::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
SO: who was it?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: If nothing out of the ordinary happens I should be on the bridge and free when you need me. 
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
XO: Life signs are compatible with only one person in the database. Ensign Solie. But he is here too!!
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CMO: Thank you for the experience, it had been a while. ::turns and leaves sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Amb/Thib: the situation is almost at the brink of war on the planet I have just spoken with Pres Arak
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::smiles at the CNS and exits sickbay heading for the nearest TL::
Thibodeaux says:
CO/AMB: We must stop this.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::raises  his eyebrows:: SO: two Ens Solie's? How is this possible?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: after talking to both our guests I am certain our Klingon friend, Freng is hiding something. Probably the death of his own leader
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gets in the TL and waits for the CTO who is following:: Computer: Bridge and ::looks at the CTO for his destination::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>::shrugs::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Thib: agreed, you must tell your commanders and forces to retreat immediately
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::arrives in the TL with the CNS:: Computer: XO's Office
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
SO: any luck tracking down the transport destination?
Thibodeaux says:
CO:I will try.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: That won't stop them from getting attacked by the Klingons
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
AMB: but we do not know for certain that is the problem, there seems to be a web of stuff going on and we do not know who is behind it all
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: If the humans still obey Thibodeux ::looks in the human's direction:: CO: Which I doubt
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: Does the CMO have any ideas how soon Lesley will take to regain consciousness?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: I understand. But in the mean time how do we stop the destruction of the colony?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CNS: Not that he shared with me, but he is a little busy, and I can wait for her evidence, I think I know who it is we are after ::gives the CNS a warm smile and then exits the TL making his way quickly towards the XO's office::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>XO: None sir, it was well hidden
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:: watches the CTO leave as the doors of the TL close again::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
AMB: I am starting to believe that everything going on including onboard my ship is all connected somehow
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
SO: What about narrowing the scans to search for Solie's life signs?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
AMB: that means with the colony on the planet
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::arrives at the XO's door and presses the bell::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>XO: Humm.. didn't think of it. But Solie is still aboard. This is too confusing!
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::nods:: CO: So we do nothing?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
SO: I know, it might be best you find another console to work from rather than the bridge, let me know when you have located him
Thibodeaux says:
CO:I can start to evacuate personnel on the planet using the fleet we have assembled.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::arrives at the bridge and steps out of the TL, glancing around before making her way to her seat looking quite confused::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>XO: I will use the CSO's officer. Since is empty now ::nods and leaves the XO's quarters::
Thibodeaux says:
CO: Its freighters and shuttlecrafts that we have.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Amb/Thib: no not nothing what we must do is expose whoever is undermining our efforts once we take out them they we can save the colony and avoid this war.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman> ::wonders what people will think about her visiting the CO at his quarters::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
SO: and ensign.. when you do locate him - report to me in person, not to any third party and don’t use the com system
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::walks the SO to the door and invites the CTO inside:: CTO: sorry to keep you waiting
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::as the SO leaves, enters and waits for the door to close:: XO: I managed to catch up with Ensign Lesley sir, she indicated it was Solie that planted the bomb.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
Thibodaux: No, that won't solve anything. your people won't leave the colony so easily. It is their home
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods unsurprised::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: Unfortunately she managed to take an overdose on painkillers and is now in a coma in sickbay
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: I have more news, Solie beamed to the surface just before the explosion
Thibodeaux says:
AMB: What can we do?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: He did? Do we know where exactly he beamed to?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Thib: you talk as if human and Klingons our not allies, then why is it on this colony there is this problem?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: not yet, but we will. The question is - if Solie has left the ship who is sitting at OPS?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: I’m sorry sir, you have lost me? Why is that the question?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: Solie, beamed to the surface - he never beamed back he's AWOL
Thibodeaux says:
CO: It’s because the Klingons accused us of having to much power, and we wont give up our farms and positions in government.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS/FCO: Where is the CO and XO?
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: I have an idea ...
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: why don't you prepare a speech to send to the planet? Something to at least delay war
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: So Ensign Solie is in two places at once. That’s a nice trick...
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Thib: as there leader and all of us cannot let whoever is behind this undermined our efforts here
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>::checks internal sensors:: CNS: The Captain is in his ready room, he received a communication from the planet. The XO is with the CTO in his office
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods at the response::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost>CNS: And I was released from sickbay finally ... if you care ... ma'am
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: I don’t think the person at OIPS is Ensign Solie, if he planted a bomb designed to destroy the ship he wouldn’t stay aboard, so who, or what took his place to die?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
AMB: that is a good idea, perhaps you should be the one to make the speech to the planet after all you are the one sent to conduct these negotiations
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles:: FCO: And it is a pleasure to see you back at your station fit and well.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: well given the level of technology we have already encountered, I would say a hologram of Solie
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CO: No, my place was never to appear in public. I am to direct negotiations in the background. But you Captain, you and the Elara are here to show what Starfleet can do! They probably know the Elara was damaged. Let them know you are still powerful
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: Perhaps
Thibodeaux says:
CO: If they have killed Kling to get me out of the way there is nothing I can do.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<FCO Lost>::has some doubt the CNS is being sincere but nods at her::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
AMB: very well
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::nods:: CO: I will leave you then. Thibodeux: Mr Thibodeux. I would advise you to remain with me. If you wish you can contact your people but I must be present
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Thib: I do not want to hear there is nothing you can do!, you are the representative here for your faction
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::rubs his head and thinks:: XO: Well then we have 3 choices, confront the Solie on the bridge, attempt to find the Solie on the surface or try and get more information out of Lesley
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: I think its time we got some help, this is too big to handle on our own... who do you trust?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: The CMO as he hasn’t been on the ship long enough to have been tempted
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::exits to the bridge::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CNS: ah counselor ::Approaches her while she waits for her aids who remained with Thibodeux and the CO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: The CNS as well, and the fact that she is a telepath could be helpful
Thibodeaux says:
::follows the AMB::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods:: CTO: true
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CNS: Where is that furry friend of yours?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::stands up pulls on his tunic and walks out of his RR back on to the bridge::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<Tin>::one of the ambassadors aids:: Thibodeux: I hope you heard the Captain
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::stands as the Ambassador approaches, and smiles:: Amb: His duties have called him away from the bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: do what you can to help SO Witherman find Solie on the planet - I would like to pay him an unexpected visit.. I will see what I can do about whoever it is on the bridge
Thibodeaux says:
TIN: Yes I hope I can contact my  people and they listen.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: we need to meet
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
CNS: Too bad. I needed to relax. Petting furry creatures always helped ::Sighs:: CNS: Matters have escalated on the Captain. Only your captain can stop the war
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* Lt Cmdr Janan, can I speak with you for a moment
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~CNS: Think he can do it?~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: Yes sir, I will get a security team on standby for you and do you know where Witherman was going?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CTO: the CSO's old office
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: where are you now?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: Then I will be there if you need me ::nods to the XO, turns and exits his office::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* Aye sir, I just have one more thing I need to take care of first
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>::notices how much the XO has used his badge and wonders why he just doesn't come to the bridge::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
~~~ Amb: I have faith in him ~~~  
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
~~~ CNS:I suppose that is all we can have~~~
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* heading to the bridge via sickbay
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::turns to Thibodeux:: Thibodeux: Now let us contact your people?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the ambassador:: Amb: If you will excuse me, it seems like other matters are needing attention.
Thibodeaux says:
AMB: Yes.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*XO*:Certainly sir, where?
Thibodeaux says:
::sits down at a station::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
*XO*: meet me at my quarters its more secure
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CNS* Sickbay, as soon as possible
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
*CO* aye sir
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::walks down the corridor and scratches his head:: Self: How can you be in two places at once, that doesn't make sense ::finds a TL, enters and heads off towards his target::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gets up and back to the TL she left only a short while earlier::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
::gets a chair close to Thibodeux and motions Solie to come and open a channel::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck 8
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Self: Going to be one of those days I go around in circles.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>Thibodeux: You will have to tell me the exact location of your headquarters
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: On my way Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::marches to sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::TL stops:: enters on to Deck 8 walk the corridor toward his quarters::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::enters sickbay and looks around for the CMO::
Thibodeaux says:
OPS: Location is Swampland.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::makes his way towards the CSO's old office, quickly finds the door and takes a moment before opening the door and walking inside looking for the SO::
Thibodeaux says:
OPS: A very small city.
Thibodeaux says:
::gives location::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>::raises an eyebrow:: Thibodeux: That is too vague. I need the coordinates or I will be broadcasting your transmission to the entire planet. You don't want that do you?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::leaves the TL and takes a brisk walk down the corridor to sickbay::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>Thibodeux: Thank you
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::arrives at his quarters and enters::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CMO: a moment of your time please!
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<OPS Solie>::taps his console:: Thibodeux: Channel opened
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>::sitting at the CSO's desk, looking at the records. she looks worried::
Thibodeaux says:
COM:THQ: Does anyone read me over?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::closes the door behind him and before doing anything else sets the internal sensors running a level 1 diagnostic inside the office:: SO: How are you getting on?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he go over to his computer panel at his desk and reroutes his bridge status panel of the ship on his screen on his desk::
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<General Yong>COM: USS Elara: We hear you. Is that you Thibodeux?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::arrives at sickbay and walks through the doors, then remains motionless as she glances around sickbay for a moment::
Thibodeaux says:
COM:THQ: Yes General.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>CTO: Not so good. Solie is nowhere but the Elara. But there are some caves on the planet which I can't scan and that is bothering me
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<General Yong>COM: USS Elara: We were told Starfleet kidnapped you
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
SO: Why cant you scan them, is it because of minerals in the rocks or are you just not getting a reading, like with a dampening field?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the XO and steps towards him:: XO: You wanted to speak, sir?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::steps into the CMO's office and motions for the CNS and CMO to come in::
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::leaves the patient he's working on::  XO: Sir?
Thibodeaux says:
COM:GEN: No but I need our troops to stop advancing to the capitol and take a defensive posture outside of it.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>CTO: Could be either. I can't tell. The problem is that we can't even beam in, the place is heavily mined
Thibodeaux says:
COM:GEN: I don’t start fights but if we can't negotiate we will have to finish it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
SO: Then it would seem to be a good place to hide if you knew the exact co-ordinates to beam to. Now how about this Solie on the bridge, any ideas how he is in two places at once?
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::closes the door:: CNS/CMO I wont you both to carry out evaluations on OPS Solie and compare them with your previous records
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<General Yong>COM: USS Elara: Thibodeux that is insane! The Klingons will take control of the capital and we will never get it back
Thibodeaux says:
COM:GEN: And send a division to arrest everyone in my office and evacuate the capitol.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he stares looks at all the activity going on the bridge and ships status as if he was sitting in his chair on the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CNS/CMO: This has the highest priority
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>::shakes her head:: CTO: None sir. His life signs are just .. perfect
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
SO: Perfect? Can you bring them up on this console for a moment, you know there is an old saying, if its looks too good to be true...
CMO_Ens_Cameron says:
::follows Timrok into the office with a nod to Nurse Ridge::
Thibodeaux says:
COM:GEN: I want them to throw the first punch if we are in the capitol they will kill everyone.
Host Ambassador_Trun says:
<SO Witherman>::brings up the data on the screen:: CTO: There is nothing to it, its a perfect match. It must be Solie. But it can’t be. But it is.
