Official Mission Transcript

[17:09] <Frank_SM> The USS Europa is on the edge of a Nebula that she was ordered to map.  Having discovered an interesting device within the Nebula, the crew has just unlocked it's secrets and is preparing to report their findings to the Captain.

[17:09] <Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[17:10] <CEO_Calma> ::sits in Main Engineering, watching the maintenance reports come in::

[17:10] <CSO_Enki> ::Walks from the turbolift, holding down the urge to fling the PADD at Durron::  CO: We've found some interesting stuff in that probe, ma'am...

[17:10] <CO_Farrel> ::eyes move between Marla and Ray.::

[17:10] <CO_Farrel> CSO: What have you discovered?  ::Eyes light up excitedly.::

[17:10] <CTO_Lingn> ::thinks  about how to flirt with Hali::

[17:11] <CSO_Enki> ::Passes the PADD over... but knows to summarize:: CO: It appears to be a map of some kind... stellar.  There's holes in it, unfortunately, due to data decay.

[17:12] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks around at the Bridge crew and sighs::

[17:12] <CO_Farrel> ::Looks at the PADD:: CSO: And you've found... ::looks up:: a planet?

[17:12] <XO_Durron> ::taps his foot waiting for the CSO to answer his question::

[17:13] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Come grab some more time on the Tactical console.

[17:14] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears and trots over:: CTO: Yes Mrrr. Lingn?

[17:15] <CSO_Enki> ::Nods::  CO: Actually, Ensign Chitwa did, ma'am.

[17:15] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Take over. ::leaves his console and moves to Tac 2::

[17:15] <CO_Farrel> ::grins:: CSO: I see...  CIV: Chitwa, tell me about this planet you found.  Is it in the nebula?

[17:16] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over the console with a blank stare:: CO: Uhh....umm....yes ma'am. I named it Bob.

[17:16] <CEO_Calma> ::runs a quick diagnostic on the shield grids, in case the Captain decides to take Europa back into the nebula::

[17:18] <CTO_Lingn> CIV:Tactical Status?

[17:19] <CO_Farrel> ::chuckles.:: CIV: I see... did the probe give us any other information about planet Bob?

[17:20] <CIV_Chitwa> CO: Umm...I don't think so Pawduwfi.

[17:20] <XO_Durron> ::thinks that bob is a good a name as most of the ones he has heard::

[17:20] <CIV_Chitwa> CTO: Ummm....How do you rrread this console?

[17:21] <CEO_Calma> ::while waiting for the diagnostics to complete, picks up one of the larger PADDs and begins reading through NCO personnel files::

[17:21] <CTO_Lingn> ::moves over and whispers her the info in her ear::

[17:22] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Set a course for planet Bob er I mean Taros...

[17:22] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins:: CTO: Oh....everrrything's fine then?

[17:22] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye ::plots the course::

[17:22] <CSO_Enki> ::After the CO takes the PADD, she moves to the science station and runs a diagnostic on the sensors::

[17:23] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: I am letting you run Tactical until I am satisfied you know how to run it.

[17:24] <XO_Durron> ::listens to the CO than spots a request from the CEO::*CEO* We are heading back into the nebula.

[17:24] <CEO_Calma> ::opens SCPO Freeman's file:: Self: Hmmm, looks like he's everything I'm looking for.

[17:24] <CIV_Chitwa> ::gulps:: CTO: Okay. ::nods::

[17:24] <CTO_Lingn> ::puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder:: CIV: I'll be here if you have any troubles.

[17:24] <CEO_Calma> ::rubs his face, as though saying to himself, "I knew it.":: *XO*: We'll be ready.

[17:25] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Take us to warp seven, engage

[17:25] <CEO_Calma> ::pulls up power distribution and increases shield output in preparation::

[17:25] <XO_Durron> ::still standing behind the CO's chair::

[17:26] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye, warp seven ::takes the ship to warp seven::

[17:27] <CO_Farrel> ::watches the viewer::

[17:27] <CIV_Chitwa> ::examines the Tactical console::

[17:28] <Frank_SM> Action: The Europa goes to warp and begins a 2 week journey through the Nebula.  Though the route on the map is safe, the journey is long and tedious, with many occasions of the Europa having to slow to impulse, in order to avoid trouble...

[17:29] <CTO_Lingn> ::watches the CIV at tactical::

 [17:30] <Frank_SM> Action: Two weeks later the Europa arrives at a binary star system, in which the planet is supposed to be located.

[17:32] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: You are doing fine.

[17:32] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Give me a tactical analysis of the planet please.

[17:33] <FCO_Kami> CO: Sir we have arrived at the coordinates.

[17:33] <FCO_Kami> <arrived>

[17:33] <CEO_Calma> ::sits in Main Engineering, watching the maintenance reports come in::

[17:34] <Frank_SM> Action: Sensor detect a very technological society.  There is, however, no type of defensive system on or around the planet.

[17:34] <CO_Farrel> FCO: Move us into standard orbit.  CSO: What do sensors read?

[17:34] <CIV_Chitwa> CTO: Ahh...It's umm... ::looks over the console:: Therrre's not a defense system....nope.

[17:35] <XO_Durron> ::standing in the rear of the bridge comparing something on a PADD to something on the MSD::

[17:35] <FCO_Kami> CO: Aye ::moves the ship to standard orbit::

[17:35] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Good. ::pats her on the back:: Good Job. Now report that to the Captain.

[17:36] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: CO: no Defensive systems detected, Pawdufwi.

[17:36] <CSO_Enki> CO: Picking up... life.  500 million.  And evidence of a technologically advanced civilization - energy outputs being the main source of that deduction.

[17:38] <XO_Durron> CSO: Anything like what we know of the people who created the Bioships?

[17:39] <CO_Farrel> CIV: Good work, open a hail to them

[17:39] <CTO_Lingn> CO: Are we going down there? Should I prepare another bodyguard detail for you?::looks at the XO::

[17:40] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins and then looks down at the console:: Self: hail....hail....ooo shiny buttons....hail....ummm....einy meeney miney moe....bingo! ::opens a channel:: CO: Channel open.

[17:40] <CSO_Enki> XO: Well, it's similar.. but nothing indicates it's the same species, no.

[17:41] <XO_Durron> ::shrugs:: CSO: Thank you.

[17:42] <CO_Farrel> CTO: maybe, let's see what they say...

[17:42] <CSO_Enki> ::Reads over her scans again::  XO: Commander... ::waves him over::

[17:42] <CTO_Lingn> ::nods::

 [17:43] <Seron> @Com: Europa: Greetings friends, it has been a long time since we have had any guests, so if you will excuse my slow response.

 [17:43] <XO_Durron> ::steps over to the CSO's station and leans over her shoulder to look at what she wants him to see::CSO: Yes?

 [17:44] <CEO_Calma> ::smiles; looks like this time there weren't any problems::

[17:44] <CSO_Enki> ::Points to her screen::  XO: This is where we are right now.  ::A blinking dot close to a binary star::  And this is the nebula... ::a line::  Now, watch.  ::Presses a button, and as the time index advances, the line of the nebula overtakes the planetary system::

[17:45] <XO_Durron> ::whistles under his breath::CSO: so some where short of  five years?

[17:45] <CSO_Enki> ::Nods and looks towards the screen...::

[17:46] <XO_Durron> CSO: Any sign they have begun evacuating?

[17:46] <CSO_Enki> XO: We just got here, Commander.

[17:46] <CSO_Enki> XO: I'd say to ask them... but they might not even know.  It could cause planetary chaos.

[17:46] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Ever shot a phaser rifle before?

[17:47] <XO_Durron> CSO: We will have to be cautious

 [17:47] <CIV_Chitwa> ::shakes her head::

[17:47] <CO_Farrel> COM: This is the Federation starship Europa, Captain Farrel speaking, it's a pleasure to speak with you...

[17:49] <Seron> @Com: Europa: CO: The pleasure is all ours Captain.  It is so good to have guests after so many years.

[17:50] <CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears and looks up at the alien:: Self: Ooooo

[17:50] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Meet me at the range when we have the chance. I will let you squeeze off a few rounds.

[17:50] <CO_Farrel> COM: When was the last time you had contact with outsiders?

[17:51] <Seron> @Com: Europa: CO: It's been nearly... two hundred and thirty years.

[17:52] <CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: CTO: Okay. But take it easy on me.

[17:52] <CSO_Enki> XO: Or jump right in with both feet.  ::Jerks her head towards the Captain::

[17:52] <XO_Durron> ::stands up than steps back from the CSO's station.  Than walks forward to the FCO's station::

[17:52] <FCO_Kami> ::looks at the XO::

[17:52] <CTO_Lingn> ::laughs:: CIV: It is not hard, and it can be fun.

[17:53] <CIV_Chitwa> ::grins:: CTO: Okay, but I'm rrreally good at Velocity.

[17:53] <XO_Durron> ::whispers quietly to the FCO:: FCO: Plot us a departure course but don't engage it..  I want to be able to get out of here if things turn sour.

[17:53] <FCO_Kami> ::whispers:: Aye ::plots the course, ready to engage on command::

[17:53] <CTO_Lingn> ::grins back:: CIV: You'll be good at it then.

[17:54] <CIV_Chitwa> CTO: I'm just not familiarrr with a phaserrr rrrifles.

[17:54] <CO_Farrel> COM: wow.... well we would be honored to meet in person, and learn more about you

[17:56] <Seron> @Com: Europa: CO: To learn more about us... you mean you don't know about Taros?

[17:57] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: By the time I am done teaching, you will be able to strip one down, and put it back together by memory.

[17:57] <CEO_Calma> ::glances at the maintenance schedule:: Self: Hmmm, what hasn't been looked at in a while...

[17:59] <CIV_Chitwa> CTO: Wow...rrreally?

[18:00] <CO_Farrel> COM: Errr no... is that bad?

[18:01] <XO_Durron> ::watches the CO talking to the alien on the viewscreen::

[18:01] <CTO_Lingn> CIV: Yep.

[18:01] <Seron> @COM: Europa: CO: No, it's not bad at all.  I just figured that you came here based on our agreement... which, I suppose we don't have.  I will send a delegation to your ship to work out an agreement, if you'd like.

[18:01] <CIV_Chitwa> ::smiles:: CTO: Cool.

[18:02] <CO_Farrel> COM: Agreement?  what do you mean?

[18:03] <Seron> @COM: We'll explain when we negotiate... would you like me to send our delegation?

[18:04] <CTO_Lingn> ::groans at another diplomatic meeting::

[18:04] <FCO_Kami> ::looks at the view screen rather suspiciously::

[18:04] <CO_Farrel> COM: Alright ::Is a bit worried::

[18:05] <CTO_Lingn> CO: I'll prepare security.

[18:05] <CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over at the Captain, then back over to the alien:: Self: Hmmm

[18:05] <Seron> @COM: Europa: CO: Good.  Please send me the coordinates on your ship, and they will be sent in about an hour.

[18:06] <FCO_Kami> ::Thinks to himself:: Why would that take an hour?

 [18:07] <CO_Farrel> COM: Wait... I'm afraid I have to know exactly what this agreement is before I proceed?

[18:07] <CTO_Lingn> ::sets up security from Tac 2::

[18:09] <Seron> @COM: Europa: CO: The agreement will be negotiated, if you'd like.  What we offer you will be discussed, what you can offer us, is also a mystery to us Captain...  Such is the nature of these negotiations.

[18:10] <CO_Farrel> COM: I must be assured before hand, that you have no hostile intentions Seron.

[18:13] <Seron> @COM: Europa: Captain... It's been a long time, even longer since we have made an agreement with someone who didn't know our reputation.  Forgive me.  As I'm sure your sensors can tell, we have no offensive capabilities on Taros.  But if you've hostile intentions in mind, rest assured, we are well defended.

[18:13] <CEO_Calma> ::looks at the list:: Self: Hmmm, nothing that particularly needs service.. might as well take a look at environmental. ::gets up from his chair and heads for deck 27::

[18:14] <CTO_Lingn> ::rolls eyes::

[18:14] <CO_Farrel> COM: My apologies.  We have no hostile intentions either.  Please send your delegation, our coordinates will be transmitted shortly.

[18:14] <Seron> @COM: Europa: CO: Very well Captain.

[18:14] <CTO_Lingn> Self: Well defended my....   ::lowers his voice::
