=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10812.13 - "Family Feud, Part I"=/\=

The USS Elara is en route to 15 Lyncis II, the Caitian homeworld

Officially, they are there to resolve a family disagreement over a moon.

Her true mission however, is to allow one Dr Brarrr to go aboard the Elara's pod and solve a minor setback

=/\= =/\= =/\= Begin Mission =/\= =/\= =/\=

ACTION: The Elara warps through the stars

ACTION ... With an odd shaking now and then, but the crew got used to that by now

Ens Lost says:
Anyone on the Bridge: ETA to our destination is 15 minutes

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::sat in what is now his ready room, watching a cup gradually make its way across the table, feeling slightly out of place::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Stares aimlessly at the general direction of the viewscreen, trusting 0101 to mind the console::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::at OPS:: Lost: Thank you Ensign. ::runs a series of scans of the region::

ACTION: 0101 can see in her console the data from the monitors of Project Ambassador. They are stable for now though there are 2 yellow lights where they ought to be green

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Beeps, bops and makes other odd noises at the console's direction::

ACTION: Since Timrok didn't have time to pack, his ready room is still "his" with all his Highland and Vulcan decorations

ACTION: On the table there is also the picture of a wedding with a whole lot of naked people. Pazoski recognizes the bride and groom all too well

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::reads his console:: Lost: Ensign, have the computer plotting a course. It's quite busy with ships in this region.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::picks up the photo and stares at it for a few seconds, a smile breaks out on his face:: Self: Good Times. ::places the photo back on the desk, stands up and makes his way towards the bridge::

Ens Lost says:
OPS: Are you sure Commander? I mean I have many years of experience ....

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Coughs rather loudly, trying to get 1010's attention::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Frowns, glancing up from her musings:: 0101: What is it? ::Glances instinctively at her console:: Ah. ::Frowns:: Not good.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
*CO*: 0101 to Command--- Captain Pazoski, please respond.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::smiles:: Lost: I trust your capabilities ensign, but the computer is faster at making calculations. Besides that, eventually you're in control. But for the safe side have the computer do the calculations.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::stops just before stepping out onto the bridge:: *CIV*: Doctors, what can I do for you?

Ens Lost says:
::mumbles something about always being the end of the food chain, even below the computer:: OPS: Yes sir, plotting the course using the navigational computer

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
*CO*: We seems to be experiencing problems with.. Um.. ::Pauses:: You know what..

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Continues working on her console, attempting to figure the problem::

ACTION: The Elara drops from warp in the Lincys system, next to the Caitian homeworld. The place is buzzing with activity with 10 orbiting stations and hundreds of small vessels in orbit

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: Join me in the Ready Room please; you can give me the details.

Ens Lost says:
OPS: It seems we have arrived

ACTION: A light blinks in the OPS console, incoming transmission from the planet

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Lowers her voice:: *CO*: We rather head towards the pod, Captain. We prefer to examine this problem as soon as possible.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Nods at 0101's words::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::looks at the viewscreen:: Lost: So it seems. ::notices a light blinking and opens the channel as Pazoski is busy now::

ACTION: The viewscreen is filled with a Caitian female in a revealing uniform, revealing a lot of fur that is

Larrra says: 
#COM: USS Elara: This is Larrra, from Caitian navigational control. Please identify yourselves

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
*CIV*: It will take no more than 5 minutes, and wasn't a request.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::stands upright and looks at the screen:: COM:CNC: I'm Lieutenant Commander Dalin Tar from the USS Elara.

ACTION: The woman in the viewscreen seems to be typing a console

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
0101: Bossy, isn't he? ::Sighs rather dramatically, raising from her chair:: Let's go.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
*CO*: On our way, Captain. ::Nods and follows 1010::

Larrra says:
#COM: USS Elara: You are registered in my system. Please proceed to Starbase Leo 001, docking bay one. Once there relinquish navigational control to the station

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Chimes the Captain' doors::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
COM:CNC: Acknowledged. ::turns to Lost:: Lost: Ensign, get us there.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
COM:CNC: And thank you. Elara out. ::closes channel::

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::now back at the desk:: Door: Enter!

ACTION: As Lost taps his console, the Elara makes her way through the maze of ships until the biggest base around. It’s a very colourful and big construction, very unlike Starfleet bases. The Elara enters one of its docking bays

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CO*: Tar to Pazoski. Captain, just to let you know, we're at Starbase Leo 001.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Enters the ready room doors alongside 0101:: CO: Captain.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
CO: Sir. ::Moves to sit in one of the available chairs::

ACTION: The inside of the base is also filled with vessels but the Elara drifts (under base control) to a secondary space in the docking bay where she is quite alone, and finally starts docking procedures

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::prepares all systems for docking status::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Sits as well:: CO: Captain, we have most distressing news. Some of the systems are reporting some sort of an error in the pod, through we're still not sure where exactly.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Nods:: CO: We see yellow instead of green. And we do not like yellow, no sir. We hate yellow, hate it with passion.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
CO: We prefer blue.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::smiles at the two doctors:: *OPS*: Understood, let me know if our Caitian guests get in contact with us, I doubt it will be too long before someone comes to get the upper hand

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CO*: Aye sir. Tar out.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CIV: I haven't redecorated yet, it somehow makes me feel that Captain Timrok is still around.  Does that make me foolish? ::sighs to himself:: Perhaps just a little.

ACTION: As if on cue, OPS gets a message. Commander Gamar, CO of Leo 001 wants to come aboard with a group of his aides to welcome them aboard

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
Lost: Power down all engines after docking sequence has been completed.

Ens Lost says:
OPS: Aye aye ... so I guess my work is done ... too bad

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CIV: So I understand something is wrong with the Project.  Starfleet is sending a Caitian scientist to help you with the situation, apparently he knows how to solve it.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::sighs and taps his badge once again:: *CO*: Sir, they're quick. Commander Gamar wants to come aboard.

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Gaps:: CO: Someone is going to touch our pod? ::Looks at the CO's direction with horror::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
CO: But Captain! ::Looks horrified as well::

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::rolls his eyes:: *OPS*: Have security escort them to the guest quarters, I will get to them when I can.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CO*: Aye Sir.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CIV: I understand that this project means a lot to you, but this Caitian scientist obviously knows something we do not.  You will of course be able to oversee everything he does while onboard, in fact I am counting on a detailed report later.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::turns to Boktor:: CTO: Have a security escort send to docking port 1 to escort our guests to the guest quarters. ::sends a message to Commander Gamar a security escort will pick them up::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
OPS: Yes, I will personally take care of a good team.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Stands up and leaves the bridge. Meanwhile gathering some crew for security::

Cmdr Gamar says: 
#::graciously acknowledges OPS' message and will stand by::

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
CO: What if that person breaks something? Will we be expected to clean up after him?

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
*OPS*: I have the team ready. I am moving to docking port 1.

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
CO: And we reject the implication that we're not capable to fix this on our own, no one even asked us to!

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CTO*: Acknowledged, Commander Gamar is waiting over there.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Entering Docking Hatch 3.:: *OPS*: I am at Docking Hatch 1. Ready to receive them.

ACTION: The docking hatch opens and three Caitians enter, only two of them in uniform

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CTO*: Acknowledged. Tar out.

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: I am Commander Gamar. These are two of my advisors, Lt Yerr and Dr Brarrr

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: We would like to see your Captain as soon as possible. We have information regarding your assignment here

ACTION: OPS console registers the entrance aboard of three Caitians

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::finalises the actions required for system status while docked::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmder Gamer: Sir, welcome onboard. And we will escort you to the captain.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CIV: I have complete confidence in your abilities Doctors; do not be so full of pride that you cannot accept help when it is offered.  Speak to this Doctor Brarrr, find out what is wrong and work with him to fix it.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::notices the report and logs it::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
*OPS*: We have picked up the crew and we are on the way to the ready room, I presume?

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: Thank you

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Sulks:: CO: Fine. No one appreciates us anyway. ::Raises from her seat::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
CO: Are we excused, Captain? ::Watches him expectantly::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CTO*: Tar here, bring them to the guest quarters, the captain will be getting there too.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Walks through the hallways towards the TL and enters it.:: *OPS*: Copy that guest rooms. TL: Deck 2.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::watches the CIV's for a few seconds:: CIV: Carry on Doctors ::smiles and turns his attention to the computer terminal on the desk::

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: You have a very nice ship here .... Lt

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
::Leaves as well:: 1010: To the TL? 

CIV Dr 0101 says: 
::Leaves, nodding at 0101's direction:: 0101: Yup. ::Enter the TL::

CIV Dr 1010 says: 
TL: Get us as closest to the pod please. 

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Exits the TL:: Cmdr Gamar: Sir, gentlemen, if you would follow me?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Tar to Pazoski, our guests are almost at the guest quarters. I've told them you'd be there any time soon.

ACTION: The computer complies and moves towards the back of the ship

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmdr Gamar: Yes sir, it is a fine and capable ship. Thank you for the compliment

Cmdr Gamar says: 
::smiles and nods, moving his tail around::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
*OPS*: We are at deck 2.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::taps his badge:: *OPS*: Thank you Commander, I am on my way now ::heads out onto the bridge::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmdr Gamar: These are your quarters. I hope you have a good stay her.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
*CTO*: Thank you Lieutenant. The captain is on his way now. Tar out.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
*OPS*: Thanks.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmdr Gamar: Sir, the captain is on his way.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::sighs, but decides not to put any attention to it::

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: That is good to hear. The quarters are very comfortable

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Showed the guest quarters, and then stepped gently away, to give them privacy.::

ACTION: The door closes and the three Caitians are all alone ... without so much as a refreshment

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::scoots across the bridge acknowledging everyone before stepping into the TL and heading to the guest quarters::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::nods to Pazoski rushing across the bridge into the TL:: Self: That's part of being the captain. ::smiles::

ACTION: From the viewscreen, the lights of the inside of the station can be seen with several corridors of Caitians going back and forth about their business

Yeoman James says:
::Grumbles in greeting as he moves to allow the five officers behind him to enter the guests quarters:: Guests: Won't be but a moment. ::Points at one of the tables::

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Pushes button of the guest quarter, for entrance.::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::in the mean time he informs all department heads of the arrival at the starbase::

Ens Lost says:
OPS: I don't get why they need a huge Starfleet vessel to solve an internal problem

ACTION: The guest quarters open for the CTO to enter. He finds the Caitians silently sitting at a table, absentmindedly scratching their claws and making dents on the wood

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmd Gamar: if you need a refreshing drink, I can deliver it.

Yeoman James says:
::Points towards one of the dishes:: Guests: Standard Caitian dishes.. ::Points at the three jugs of milk:: Milk. Freshly squeezed. ::Nods absently at the CTO's direction and leaves the quarters::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
Lost: Diplomatic missions sometimes have large ships sent over. Like the Enterprise-D did several times.

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: Ah, that would be very nice thank you. Lyncis Pleasure for all and we would be grateful if you would join us

Ens Lost says:
::shrugs::: OPS: It’s a waist, we should be out there killing Borg

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::walks to the entrance of the guest quarters and presses the chime::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::shakes his head:: Lost: Fighting isn't the solution to everything, and besides that, Starfleet Command wants us to get here.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmdr Gamar: Commander at your wish. Take a look over here please. Fresh milk as a start.

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: That is good, but I tell you, you add a little bit of distilled and its great

Cmdr Gamar says: 
CTO: Ah that is perhaps your Captain at the door?

Ens Lost says:
OPS: Sometimes I think I could make better decisions than them....Admiral Lost. Sounds good doesn't it?

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
Cmdr Gamar: Next time. And I will check for the captain.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Walking outside again and waiting for the captain to arrive.::

ACTION: the CTO is surprised as he bumps into the Captain waiting at the door

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::wants to chuckle, but refrains from doing so and just smiles:: Lost: You have to go through a lot of steps to get up there, but it has a nice ring.

Ens Lost says:
OPS: I will do it, you will see. Then I am sending the Elara to fight the Borg. Perhaps you will be her Captain by then

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
::is almost run over by the CTO as he exits the room:: CTO: Lieutenant.  Are our guests settled in?

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
CO Capt Pazoski: Sorry sir. Will look better out, next time

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
CO Capt Pazoski: I think they are happy sir.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CTO: No problem Lieutenant, no problem ::smiles and slips into the room::

Cmdr Gamar says: 
::gets up::CO: Captain Pazoski. Congratulations on your recent promotion

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
Lost: We'll see, we'll see. For now, all engines are powered down?

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
CTO: Lieutenant, I believe Commander Tar needs your assistance on the bridge.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
CO Capt Pazoski: On my way sir.

CO Capt Pazoski says: 
Gamar: I see good news travels fast.  Sorry I couldn't meet you at the airlock, I had a few administrative things to sort out, and you know how it is.

Ens Lost says:
OPS: Yes sir, except for the warp drive. We don't want to lose it do we?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
Lost: No, not losing it, but just the normal procedures while being docked at a starbase. ::smiles:: Lost: You know what I mean.

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
::Walks towards the TL, enters it and exits it at the Bridge. Walks over to the OPS console and nods towards ops, meaning that he has arrived.::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says: 
::notices Boktor entering the bridge:: CTO: Lieutenant, welcome back. Our guests are safe and sound?

CTO LtJr Boktor says: 
OPS: Yes safe and sound. And not to forget, they have their milk.
