<Frank_SM> The USS Europa is currently in orbit of Taros and the situation there is starting to make sense.  The question seems to be, how involved should we get?

<Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

<XO_Durron> ::sitting in the Captain's chair he sends out the most recent briefing to the crew::

<FCO_Kami> ::at the helm, overlooking the orbit around Taros::

<TO_Mar> ::stands at Tactical reviewing the mission orders forwarded to her by the ship's acting commanding officer::

<CO_Farrel> ::The giant sphere shaped machine begins powering down with a deep hum.  Hali blinks and looks up into the metallic-grey ceiling.::

<CTO_Lingn> ::opens his eyes::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::stands next to the XO, looking around the Bridge::

<CEO_Calma> ::looks down at the MSD as it lights up with an incoming message from the XO:: Self: Oh, for crying out loud.. ::looks up:: McLaren: Hey Anne, watch the pit while I'm gone, I need to go help Ray defuse this... ::leaves ME for the TL::

<CEO_Calma> TL: Bridge.

<CTO_Lingn> CO: Do you feel like yourself?

<CEO_Calma> ::enters the Bridge and takes the Science station::

<XO_Durron> ::eyes the bridge officers for a moment than sits facing forward watching the view screen::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::perks ears and looks over at Calma::

<CO_Farrel> ::Slowly sits up and runs her hands over herself.:: CTO: I...think so... you?  ::Looks over.::

<XO_Durron> TO: What is the status of our prisoners?

<CTO_Lingn> CO: I feel my rage, so I guess it worked.

<TO_Mar> ::checks her console quickly:: XO: Sir, all prisoners are secured and in the Brig. Nothing's changed.

<XO_Durron> TO: Than review your orders please. Have them transferred to an escape pod, and the pod readied of launch.

<CO_Farrel> CTO: I feel like a weight has been lifted off me...  ::swings her feet over and sits on the side of the metallic bed.:: how do you manage with that anger in you, just beneath the surface all the time?

<CTO_Lingn> CO: I control it. I learned how through years of practice.

<XO_Durron> FCO: See if you can pick up any planetary communications.  News broadcasts, anything of that type especially something that involves our guests, look for the words terrorists, also any mention of our ship.

<CO_Farrel> CTO: I don't think I could ever...  now I understand.  ::Gets off the bed.:: And what did it feel like to have the emotions of a Betazoid?

<CIV_Chitwa> ::twitches her tail slowly, taking in everything that's going on::

<CTO_Lingn> CO: It was.... weird.

<CO_Farrel> CTO: Weird?  ::Standing next to his bed.::

<TO_Mar> ::begins informing the security teams and making sure they are carrying out there orders to move the prisoners to the escape pod:: XO: Yes, sir. They are en route now.

<CEO_Calma> XO: Commander, we've got warp back online at Warp 7 and impulse is still restricted to one-eighth light speed. There are still a lot of repairs that need doing at space dock, but at least everything's online.

<FCO_Kami> XO: I'm picking up news broadcasts of the Europa, nothing else.

<CTO_Lingn> CO: I felt so happy...

<XO_Durron> TO: Very good.

<CTO_Lingn> CO: So in touch with the world.

<CO_Farrel> CTO: And now, how do you feel?

<XO_Durron> CEO: Keep up the good work, when you get a chance tell your crew that their work is appreciated.

<CIV_Chitwa> ::flicks an ear:: XO: Any news of the Captain....sirrr?

<CEO_Calma> XO: Every day.

<CTO_Lingn> CO: More at peace with myself...

<XO_Durron> FCO: Curious...move us out of range of the Tarosian weapons platforms...than open a channel to the escape pod that Ensign Mar is transferring the prisoners to.

<CO_Farrel> CTO: Me too. I think I learned a lot...  ::Takes his hand.::

<FCO_Kami> XO: Aye, sir. ::plots the course and begins to move the ship out of range.::
<XO_Durron> CIV: Nothing that I've heard, yet.

<TO_Mar> ::gets a report that the pod has been loaded, all the prisoners just barely fitting in together:: XO: Sir, the prisoners are ready for launch on your mark.

<CTO_Lingn> ::leans in, and kisses her softly on the cheek::

<CIV_Chitwa> XO: Can I check on herrr? ::holding her feelings in...trying to act all professional::

<FCO_Kami> ::Opens a channel to the pod.:: XO: Channel open sir.

<XO_Durron> TO: Splendid, lower shields and standby for my signal.

<CO_Farrel> ::Smiles.:: CTO: We should go to sickbay, Antina is expecting us.

<TO_Mar> ::taps a command into her console, lowering shields:: XO: Shields lowered, sir.

<CTO_Lingn> ::nods:: CO: Yes, shall we?

<CO_Farrel> CPU: Computer, end program.  ::Holds his hand and walks out of holodeck into the corridor.::

<CTO_Lingn> ::pulls her close to him:: CO: I love you, and I don't think I could ever love anyone but you...

<XO_Durron> ::stands and faces the viewscreen::Ketrol: I'm letting you and your associates go.  If you have a way of contacting your ships I suggest you use it otherwise you will probably starve to death.  Inform your leader that we harbor no ill will towards your people and regret what occurred earlier.  If you are interested in going back to your planet...<cont>

<XO_Durron> <cont>...I suggest you inform them that we are willing to arrange for peace negotiations.

<CO_Farrel> ::Looks into his eyes, feeling his hard body pressed against her.:: CTO: I... I love you too.  ::Kisses him.::

<Ketrol> *XO*: You can't just jettison us!

<CTO_Lingn> :: returns her kiss, than slowly moves toward the turbolift::

<XO_Durron> *Ketrol*: Sure I can.  If you want to live I suggest you contact your ship.  Either that or tell us how to.

<CO_Farrel> ::calls the turbo, and after a moment steps inside with Tral.:: CPU: Deck 12.

<XO_Durron> <*Ketrol* on previous two>
<Ketrol> *XO*: I'll tell you how to contact them... as long as your not asking for their transponder frequencies...

<CTO_Lingn> ::smiles at Hali, and counts the decks go by::

<XO_Durron> *Ketrol* I don't really want you to die but I don't want to keep you either, Just tell us how to contact them.

<CO_Farrel> ::The turbolift arrives shortly, and Hali is smiling too.  She steps out and walks down the corridor.::

<Ketrol> *XO*: I'll give you a subspace channel that they'll be monitoring.

<XO_Durron> *Ketrol* I'm waiting.

<CTO_Lingn> ::walks beside her, thankful he met someone like Hali::

<XO_Durron> ::turns to the TO:: TO: How long would you give them in that pod?
<Ketrol> ::Punches in the appropriate information on the LCARS screen:: *XO*: That good enough?

<XO_Durron> ::reads it::*Ketrol* Good enough for me, it has been a pleasure meeting you.

<CO_Farrel> ::Enters sickbay and walks up to Antina.:: MO: Hello...  we finished on the holodeck.  The blood rage symptoms should be reversed. ::Feels embarrassed about how she acted, and wonders if the nurse will look at her differently now.::

<XO_Durron> ::motions to the FCO to cut the channel::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::tries to look over the XO's shoulder::

<FCO_Kami> ::nods to the XO and cuts the channel::

<CTO_Lingn> ::wraps his arms around her waist:: CO: There is no reason to be embarrassed.

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> ::Considers the captain for a moment.:: CO,CTO: Alright, just moves to the biobeds please.  ::Moves to the control console.::

<TO_Mar> ::runs a few calculations: XO: For that number of people, I'd say only about 40 hours or so.

<XO_Durron> FCO: Prepare to send out a message on this channel. ::sends the channel to the helm station::

<CTO_Lingn> ::moves to a biobed::

<XO_Durron> TO:Return the prisoners to the brig.

<FCO_Kami> ::programs in the channel and prepares to send a message:: XO: What message would you like me to send, sir?

<XO_Durron> CEO: Set up an automated internal scan for chroniton particles.

<CO_Farrel> ~~CTO: But I acted so crazy!~~  ::Moves to the biobed and lies down apprehensively.::

<CEO_Calma> XO: How often would you like it? ::works his console::

<CTO_Lingn> ~~~ CO: But it was not your fault. ~~~

<CIV_Chitwa> ::snickers at the CEO's comment::

<XO_Durron> FCO: Send, text only, "Attention Tarosian Freedomfighters, We have several of your members in our brig, we are willing to negotiate a cessation of hostilities between you and your home planet if you are interested.”

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> CO,CTO: Alright, lie still please, medical sensors are scanning you.  ::Tapping away at her console.::

<FCO_Kami> ::enters and sends the message cited to him by the XO:: XO: Message sent sir.

<XO_Durron> FCO: Watch for a reply, and move us back into orbit of Taros

<CTO_Lingn> ::lies still::

<FCO_Kami> ::begins to move the ship back into orbit, watching his console for a reply message::

<CO_Farrel> ~~CTO: I know but... do you think the crew will trust me after the way I acted?  Even after trying to initiate the self-destruct?~~  ::Trying not to move.::

<TO_Mar> ::tells security to return the prisoners to their cells:: XO: Orders sent. Prisoners are 
being escorted back to the brig as we speak.

<CIV_Chitwa> XO: I hope this worrrks....sirrr. ::hoping he notices she added sir::

<XO_Durron> CIV: So do I...So do I.

<Ketrol> Action: A message is received in reply. "The Tarosians have agreed to this?"

<CIV_Chitwa> ::smiles::

<XO_Durron> FCO: Hail the planet.

<CTO_Lingn> ~~~ CO: They will. They trust in your abilities, and support you in your recovery. You have a crew who loves you as a commander.~~~

<FCO_Kami> XO: Message received asking if: "The Tarosians have agreed to this?"  Aye, sir. ::opens a channel to the surface of the planet::

<Ketrol> Action: There is no response to the hail.

<XO_Durron> CEO: What shape are our comm. systems in?

<CIV_Chitwa> ::begins to daydream about 'Captain Chitwa'::

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> Scanning cycle complete.  ::Looks at the body scans, and isolates brain waves and chemical balances, cross checking that with what should be a normal range.::

<CEO_Calma> XO: As reliable as ever.. so not entirely. I'll run a level 4 diagnostic. ::checks the status of the comm. system::

<CO_Farrel> ::Smiles a little.:: ~~CTO: Thanks.  That reminds me, my sword was confiscated by security...~~

<XO_Durron> FCO: That news broadcast you mentioned earlier, do you think you can hijack their signal? or contact them directly?

<CTO_Lingn> ~~~ CO: I'll get it back, I promise.~~~

<XO_Durron> TO: Stand by to fire a single photon at one of the orbital platforms, but do not lock on.

<CEO_Calma> XO: Diagnostics are reporting communications are in good shape.

<XO_Durron> CEO: Splendid, See if you can boost power to the comm. systems.

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> ::Broods over her screen for a few moments then looks up.:: 
CO,CTO: Okay, preliminary scans look ok.  The altered brain waves I detect before are gone in both of you, and your neuro chemical balances are returning to normal.  However, before I reinstate both of you, I'm ordering you to get some rest.  Your bodies are both exhausted.

<FCO_Kami> XO: Sir, I can override their signal.

<TO_Mar> ::commands her console:: XO: Standing by, sir. Torpedo loaded and ready to fire.

<CEO_Calma> XO: I'll see what I can do. ::transfers power from the holodecks and some replicators::

<XO_Durron> FCO: Do it.

<CTO_Lingn> MO: Sounds like  a plan...

<XO_Durron> ::still standing up he faces the view screen. Waiting for a signal from the FCO::

<FCO_Kami> XO: Aye, sir. ::begins to override the signal::

<TO_Mar> ::awaits her next orders patiently, her hands above the fire control templates on the console::

<CO_Farrel> ::Sighs, knowing she can't fight the nurse's wishes.  At least it would be good to get some sleep.  Rises off the bio and looks at Tral.::

<CTO_Lingn> ~~~CO:  My quarters or yours?~~~

<FCO_Kami> XO: Ready, sir.

<CO_Farrel> ~~CTO: Mine.  Bigger bed.~~

<XO_Durron> ::folds his hands behind his back::Com: Taros News viewers: Greetings, Citizens of Taros, I am Commander Ray Durron of the Federation Starship Europa.  You have just seen on your news how we saved your planet from the encroachment of the nebula...

<CTO_Lingn> ::smiles:: ~~~CO: I think I am going to enjoy this med leave....~~~

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> ::Raises eyebrow as the Captain and Tral stare at each other, giving communicative looks and nods.::

<Soren> Action: The Europa receives a hail from Taros.

<CIV_Chitwa> ::blinks and looks at Ray, then smiles, thinking "hey....I'm on TV too!"::

<FCO_Kami> XO: Sir, the planet is hailing.

<CTO_Lingn> ::gets up and pulls Hali into his arms::

<CO_Farrel> CTO: Oh!  ::Giggles.::  

<XO_Durron> Com:Taros News viewers: What you were not informed of...::turns to the FCO and says over the comm,::FCO: Well that’s a change, lets ignore them for now...::He continues::...You are doubtless aware of your five hundred year battle with another spacefareing race.

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina>  ::Notices them and runs a second scan, just to be sure....::

<CTO_Lingn> :: walks with her out the door, to the turbolift::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::clears her throat and tries to look cute and professional at the same time...since she's on TV and all::

<TO_Mar> ::although the FCO is also monitoring communications, she does as well::

<CO_Farrel> ::Enters turbolift.:: CPU: Deck eight.  CTO: So, we should try to sleep, at least a little...

<FCO_Kami> ::Ignores the hail.::

<CTO_Lingn> ::kisses her hand:: CO: We will....

<XO_Durron> Com:Taros News viewers: I do not know if you know that this race is the same as you, Tarosians, they want the same thing that you want...Peace...They want the right to live on their beloved Taros just the same as you do.

<CO_Farrel> ::Squeezes his thigh.  The lift doors open and she walks to her quarters.::

<Soren> Action: The Tarosian Government continues to hail the Europa.

<CTO_Lingn> ::moves with her, content with his life::

<XO_Durron> Com:Taros News viewers: In an attempt to arrange this peace I have been ignored by the Tarosian government, so I call upon you, the people of Taros to contact your government and let the know how you feel, Tell them what you think of their policy of denying the existence of Tarosians in space.  Tell them what you think of them denying these...<cont>

<TO_Mar> ::feels something inside of her, realizing its the symbiont's response to the XO's speech - she's impressed::

<CO_Farrel> ::Enters, and notices the broken armchair and the painting with a head-sized hole in it.::  CTO: Oops, it's kinda messy.  ::Enters and stretches, yawning softly.::

<CTO_Lingn> CO: It's alright, unless you want to go to my quarters instead...

<CIV_Chitwa> self: Wow.... ::hopes she can be cool like the XO someday::

<XO_Durron> <cont>...brave souls the recognition they deserve.  Tell them what you think of these long lost relatives that they deny exist.  Don't do it because I asked you to do it, do it because it is what is right.  I apologize for the interruption, and I hope you do what is right.

<CEO_Calma> ::notices the FCO's console still beeping with the government's repeated hails::

<CO_Farrel> CTO: Here is fine.  Help me with my zipper dear? ::Stands back turned.::

<XO_Durron> ::Bows to the view screen and signals the FCO to cut the comm.::

<CTO_Lingn> ::helps her with it::

<FCO_Kami> ::Cuts the channel:: XO: Sir, the planet is still attempting top hail.

<XO_Durron> FCO: Put them through.

<FCO_Kami> XO: Aye. ::Opens the channel.::

<Soren> @COM: Europa: XO: What the hell are you doing?  Do you have any idea the damage to our society you have just caused? ::Really agitated::

<CO_Farrel> ::Exhales in relief.:: CTO: Much better, sometimes those one pieces feel like a corset.  ::Moves to the bed confidently, and sprawls out on her front, half under the covers.::

<CTO_Lingn> ::follows in after her, and cuddles underneath the sheets with her::

<CO_Farrel> <MO_Antina> ::Depresses comm. button.:: *XO* Antina to Durron, the Captain's and Mr. Lingn's condition has been reversed.  They will return to duty after some ordered rest.

<XO_Durron> ::still standing nodds::Soren: I've opened the door for you, you can either step up and lead your people into a time of peace...or you can hide behind bureaucracy and red tape.  It is your call...speaking of calls, should I contact those people who are not Tarosian and tell them you are interested in peace?

<CO_Farrel> CTO: Mmm... ::Puts her arms around him sighing pleasantly.::

<XO_Durron> *MO* That is good to know.

<CTO_Lingn> ::nestles his head against her's::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::perks her ears and tilts her head to look at Calma, wondering if he's doing okay::

<CO_Farrel> :Feels so relaxed, she begins to drift into a heavenly sleep.::

<Soren> @COM: Europa: XO:  Peace, I... ::a man walks in and hands Soren a Padd, he looks at it then continues:: We will meet with you, but the Europa itself cannot be involved in any negotiations.  the Federation, may send a Delegation if they so choose.

<CEO_Calma> ::looks over at the small Caitian and slightly tilts his head::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::grins at the CEO::

<CEO_Calma> ::lets a small smile break::

<XO_Durron> ::Smiles and nodds::Com:Taros:Soren: Very well, I am sending you the frequency that you can contact the other Tarosians on.
