Official Mission Transcript

[17:02] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa is in orbit of the Colonist's world.  It has apparently been destroyed by a War with the Claderins.  An Away Team from the Europa is currently on the planet, in what seems to be a Command center, trying to find out about the Colonists, and their war...

[17:02] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:03] <AXO_Durron> ::sitting in the big chair::

[17:03] <EO_Calma> $::stands on the bridge of the bioship, looking at the Science console pensively::

[17:04] <CTO_Lingn> @:: gets his men to cover the door::

[17:04] <CTO_Lingn> @::flips on the generator::

[17:04] <CO_Farrel> @::Holds her breathe as Lingn flips the switch.::

[17:05] <CIV_Chitwa> @::sniffs around::

[17:05] <EO_Calma> $::closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and lays his palm down on the console:: ~~~Bioship: Why won't you tell me about all of the city?~~~

[17:05] <CSO_Enki> @::Watches the screens for the hum of power::

[17:06] <Frank_SM> Action: Consoles around the room begin to light up as power is supplied by the generator.  Some things don't work, but for the most part, all systems powered up, including a large holoviewer in the center of the room, showing the Colonist's attack plans on the Claderins.

[17:07] <CTO_Lingn> @::views the attack plans::

[17:07] <CO_Farrel> @ ::approaches the holoviewer, and studies the attack plans over Lingn's shoulder.::

[17:07] <CIV_Chitwa> @::looks up and perks her ears:: CO: Hm?

[17:08] <CSO_Enki> @::Looks over the screens::  CO: Captain, Commander Theron may be able to translate some of these better and quicker than the tricorder...

[17:08] <CTO_Lingn> @::attaches his tricorder to the holomap and  downloads the plans into his tricorder::

[17:08] <CTO_Lingn> @::translates the map::

[17:08] <CIV_Chitwa> @CO: That doesn't look good, Sis.

[17:08] <CO_Farrel> @CSO: Agreed.  But last time we contacted him he wasn't interested in helping us; he seems to have his own plans for the moment.

 [17:09] <EO_Calma> $::overhears the CSO and CO and opens his eyes:: *CO*: Not to mention, Captain, that I'm not sure if he brought any thing with him apart from weapons and communicators.

[17:09] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: It seems they destroyed themselves. Mutually Assured Destruction.

[17:10] <EO_Calma> $::closes his eyes again and concentrates harder on the bioship:: ~~~Bioship: Are you there?~~~

[17:11] <CO_Farrel> @ CTO: MAD, a fitting acronym.  ::Hmms and access a panel, checking to see which side, if any, won the war.::

[17:11] <CIV_Chitwa> @::twitches her tail and thinks::

[17:11] <CSO_Enki> @::Sets to work hooking the tricorder into the computer system, and trying to upload the translation program::  CO: That sounds strange, doesn't it?  Strangers on your own home planet, destruction everywhere... and you just let them wander around on their own?

[17:11] <CIV_Chitwa> @::trots over to the CO and looks up at her::

[17:12] <CO_Farrel> @CSO: It is very suspicious...

[17:12] <CTO_Lingn> @ALL: There are further levels underneath us. There might be survivors.

 [17:13] <CIV_Chitwa> @CO: I think maybe they deserrrved each otherrr. ::grins::

[17:14] <EO_Calma> $::opens his eyes:: Self: Well, that was a bust.

[17:14] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: We appear to be in the "shipyards" section of the bunker system.

[17:14] <CO_Farrel> @::points::  All: Look here, attached to this bunker is the area blocked from sensors.  It's simply labeled, Shipyards...

[17:15] <CO_Farrel> @::taps more commands, and attempts to access a manifest for this "Shipyards".::

[17:17] <CO_Farrel> @ALL: The databanks are locked...  ::Checks the map:: I want to go down there and investigate...

 [17:18] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: Yes Ma'am. ::orders his men to take point::

[17:18] <CO_Farrel> @ALL: This next corridor should head down there... ::points to a second hallway across the room.:: CTO: Have your men take point, we're going down there.

[17:20] <CTO_Lingn> @:: Moves with his men, admiring the Captain's looks::

[17:20] <CSO_Enki> @::Nabs her tricorder and follows along with the Captain::

[17:20] <CO_Farrel> @::Follows beside the CTO, just behind the forward guard.  Blushes slightly as she senses Lingn's thoughts.::

[17:22] <EO_Calma> $::taps the science console again, trying to pull up Theron's location::

 [17:23] <CTO_Lingn> @::moves to the stairs::

[17:24] <CIV_Chitwa> @::trots after the CO::

[17:24] <CO_Farrel> @::Looks over her shoulder.:: CIV: You there Kecharrra?

[17:25] <CTO_Lingn> @::arrives at the level they want to reach::

[17:25] <EO_Calma> $Self: ...what the hell? ::tries to call up the sensor logs for where he's been::

[17:26] <EO_Calma> $*CO*: Captain, I've lost my fix on Commander Theron's location. It looks like he's entered.. whatever it is that the ship won't let me see.

[17:26] <CTO_Lingn> @::opens the door to the shipyards::

[17:26] <EO_Calma> $*AXO*: Commander, have you had any luck with the sensors?

[17:27] <CO_Farrel> @::Steps off the last stair, onto the lower level.::  *EO* Acknowledged, we're just entering that same area now.  ::Steps beside Lingn, and looks inside the doorway to the shipyards excitedly.::

[17:27] <CIV_Chitwa> @::nods to the CO::

[17:28] <EO_Calma> $*CO*: Watch yourself; I don't know what he's up to, but whatever it is starting to bother me.

[17:28] <CSO_Enki> @::Keeps her tricorder out, although it'll probably shut off soon::

[17:28] <CTO_Lingn> @::Motions to his men to secure the Area::

[17:28] <CTO_Lingn> @:: Readies his rifle::

[17:28] <CO_Farrel> @*EO* Don't worry, we'll be careful.

[17:29] <Cmdr_Theron> Action: As the doors open, a few things become apparent.  The room is massive and contains several ship in various stages of being made (born).  There are also several of the pods found on the other bioship scattered about.  Theron and his men are gathered around one of those pods.

[17:29] <CIV_Chitwa> @::eyes wide:: CO: Wow!

[17:29] <CTO_Lingn> @::trains his rifle in the direction of Theron::

[17:29] <EO_Calma> $::attempts to link his PADD to the CSO's tricorder, trying to determine what's going on down there::

[17:30] <CO_Farrel> @::Rests right hand on the handle of her holstered phaser, and slowly follows the team into the hanger.:: CTO: Wait, lower your weapon...

[17:30] <CTO_Lingn> @::lowers it to make sure it is not considered as a threat::

[17:30] <Cmdr_Theron> Action: Also, it becomes apparent that both the technology, and architecture of this place is not the same as what was observed above.  It all seems to be old, very, very old.

[17:30] <CO_Farrel> @::nods appreciatively to Lingn:: Cmdr: Commander Theron...

[17:31] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: Captain...

[17:31] <EO_Calma> $::hears the CO's voice coming through the bioship's Comms console:: Self: Looks like they're in the same room..

[17:32] <CIV_Chitwa> @::sniffs the air::

[17:32] <CO_Farrel> @Cmdr: Quite the little fleet you have down here...

[17:32] <CTO_Lingn> @::keeps his eyes trained on Theron::

[17:33] <CO_Farrel> @ ::Aside.:: CSO: Scan the hanger... somehow this technology looks different...

[17:33] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: It's not the ships I'm worried about... There's only about 25 of 
these pods.  They're my people Captain, only a handful are alive.

[17:34] <CO_Farrel> @Cmdr: How did they end up down here?

[17:34] <CIV_Chitwa> @::wonders what's going on::

[17:34] <CSO_Enki> @::Nods slowly to the CO and discretely walks around the area, taking as many readings as she can.. a vial captures biomaterial and then disappears again into a pocket::

[17:35] <CTO_Lingn> @::looks at Enki take that vial but says nothing::

[17:36] <CTO_Lingn> @::trains on antennae on her so he knows what is going on::

[17:36] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: I'd say the bioship's saved them, just as they did us... it's an instinct that was built into them.

 [17:37] <CO_Farrel> @Cmdr: I see... and what are you're plans now?

[17:37] <CTO_Lingn> @::whispers:: CO: What are your orders? Shall I send for a med team?

[17:37] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: I don't know... to save as many of my people as I can... then we’ll decide.

[17:38] <CO_Farrel> @CTO: Good idea, make it so...  Cmdr: I'm calling down a medical team to help awaken your people in stasis.

[17:39] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: Thank you Captain, I am indebted to you greatly.

[17:39] <EO_Calma> $::temporarily shuts off the comm link to Theron and whispers into his badge, such that Theron won't hear:: *CO*: Might I also recommend a strong Security team, as well?

[17:39] <CTO_Lingn> @*AXO*: We need a medical team sent down here. We are going to bring people out of stasis.

[17:40] <AXO_Durron> *CTO* Understood.

[17:40] <CO_Farrel> @::Nods, then pauses:: Cmdr: Also, I regret to inform you, we've uncovered information that both the Colonial's and the Claderin's were destroyed in the war.

[17:40] <AXO_Durron> *Sickbay* Send a medical team to transporter room one.

[17:41] <AXO_Durron> *Transporter room 1* A medical team is on the way beam them down as close to the captain's location as you can, as soon as they arrive.

[17:41] <CO_Farrel> @ ::Just responds with negative hmm to Calma, not wanting Theron to clue in.::

[17:41] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: Yes, I knew that the moment we arrived.  I knew it was always a possibility, but I never thought they would actually do it... I'm sure the Claderins suffered the same fate we did....

[17:42] <EO_Calma> $::nods to himself::

[17:42] <CO_Farrel>@::Nods to Theron and checks in with Enki.:: CSO: What have you found?

 [17:42] <AXO_Durron> <Transporter room 1>*AXO*The medical team has arrived and they will be beaming down shortly sir.

[17:43] <CSO_Enki> @CO: You were right about the difference.  Some of this technology is a hundred thousand years old.  It's obviously... well, 'evolved' over the years.

[17:43] <CIV_Chitwa> @CO: I can help, Sis.

[17:43] <CO_Farrel> @ ::Wrinkles brow, and turns back to Theron, feeling left in the dark.::  Cmdr: I'm confused, why is the technology in this hanger a hundred thousand years old?

[17:44] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: I'd also like to apologize for not being completely honest with you.  The ships were a big secret  ::laughs sadly:: what does it matter now though...  The war with the Claderins was started as a revolution, we were being oppressed, just like I told you... but, at first we were losing badly.  They had better ship's and weapons, until <cont>

[17:44] <CO_Farrel> @CIV: Sure, what's you're idea?

[17:44] <CIV_Chitwa> @CO: I know some medical stuff, you know. I can help out the teams.

[17:44] <CTO_Lingn> @::looks over the ships with engineering interest::

[17:45] <CTO_Lingn> @*AXO*: Can you beam us some lighting to?

[17:45] <Cmdr_Theron> we found this.  These ship are amazing.  they were left here by a long lost civilization.  We discovered them and began using them.  They weren’t armed, but we could easily adapt our weapons to them... it changed the whole tide of the war.

[17:45] <CO_Farrel> @CIV: Ok, sounds good. 

[17:46] <AXO_Durron> *CTO* Understood.

[17:46] <CO_Farrel> @::Looks now at Theron knowingly.:: Cmdr: I see...

[17:47] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: But I guess things changed too much.  Soon after acquiring the ships, we were able to obtain the Claderin's weapons, enough of them to wipe them out, ensuring they wouldn't strike us first, or else they be destroyed too.  Good idea, in theory...

[17:47] <AXO_Durron> *Transporter room one* Send down few of the wrist lights and a few portable lights with the team

[17:47] <AXO_Durron> <TR1>AXO: Aye sir.

[17:48] <CO_Farrel> @Cmdr: And so this new technology... in way helped lead to your destruction.  How sad...

[17:49] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: Yes... and the most ironic part, theses ships were built for peaceful exploration, not war.

[17:49] <CTO_Lingn> @Cmdr/CO: Are there any more bases like this? We could call for a task force to help out here and rebuild.

[17:50] <Cmdr_Theron> @CTO: No, this is all... this is all that is left of my people.

[17:50] <CO_Farrel> @::Sighs::  Cmdr: And the Claderins?  Do you think they are completely wiped out?

[17:50] <AXO_Durron> *TR1*Looks like we need to boost the resolution. I'm going to send a set of transport enhancers down with the medical team.  They should be able to set them up and get us a beam down point.

[17:51] <CTO_Lingn> @Cmdr: What about the other planet? If this war is dead, you might be able to start anew.

[17:51] <AXO_Durron> <*TR1 = <TR1>*AXO*>

[17:51] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: I checked... our missiles were launched.  Unless they came up with some type of defense... which I doubt, they too are gone.

[17:52] <CTO_Lingn> @Cmdr: There is always a chance.

[17:52] <AXO_Durron> <TR1>*AXO* Beaming down now

[17:53] <Cmdr_Theron> @CTO: I'm not sure what we will do... once we get all the survivors, we will decide.

[17:53] <CO_Farrel> @Cmdr: Lingn's right... you should rebuild.  We could help find a suitable planet for you to settle on and colonize, that is if you wish.

[17:53] <AXO_Durron> <Medical team>#*AXO* Beam down successful.  Making our way into the tunnel

[17:54] <Cmdr_Theron> @CO: We owe you so much... thank you.  ::breaks down and begins to sob::

[17:54] <AXO_Durron> *Medical team* Double time it the captain is waiting.

[17:54] <CSO_Enki> @::Comes back to the group from the far side of the room to find Theron crying... she looks around to find out what happened, who's got the face::

[17:55] <CIV_Chitwa> @::takes notes:: "First Contact successful - weird aliens happy and crying"

[17:55] <CO_Farrel> @::Looks down...unable to comprehend such a feeling of loss.::  Cmdr: I'm sorry Theron...  

[17:55] <CTO_Lingn> @::moves away from this moment::

[17:56] <Cmdr_Theron> Action: Soon the Medical teams arrive, setting up the transporter enhancers, then beginning to revive the few living survivors.

[17:58] <CO_Farrel> @::Badge taps::  *EO* Mr. Calma, if I remember correctly, you said the bioship's had superior sensors to the Europa?

[17:58] <EO_Calma> $*CO*: When they're being agreeable, that's true.

[17:59] <CO_Farrel> @*EO* Alright, if it works, begin scanning the surrounding sectors for a uninhabited class-m world.  We're going to help the surviving Colonials find a new home.

[18:01] <EO_Calma> $::taps at the console:: *CO*: Could be a few minutes before it's completed the scans..

[18:02] <CO_Farrel> @::Walks up to Lingn.::  CTO: Somehow I was expecting trouble...  ::Careful that no one else can hear.::

[18:02] <EO_Calma> $::ten minutes later:: *CO*: It's found one.. a few days' journey from here.

[18:02] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: Well I am glad this was a cake run.

[18:03] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: All in all, it all works out for the best.

[18:04] <CO_Farrel> @CTO: I wonder what other surprises await us in this unexplored region?

[18:04] <CO_Farrel> @::admiring the hanger as she speaks.::

[18:05] <CTO_Lingn> @CO: Only one way to find out. ::smiles at his CO::

[18:06] <Cmdr_Theron> Action: The Europa's Medical Teams soon revive and treat a total of 27 survivors, out of a civilization of about 40 million.  Only 31 remain.  Theron gives the CO his thanks and they agree to start anew on the newfound home, it will be difficult, but enough supplies and technology are available for it.  As a final thank you, <cont>

[18:07] <Cmdr_Theron> Theron gives the Captain a copy of the entire ancient database found on the planet, saying that they were unable to decipher most of it, which turns out to be a not so easy task for the Europa either.
