USS GENEVA MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10501.28

SB says:
Last time, on the USS Geneva...

The crew continued to track the crippled medical ship, wrestling with whether or not to help it. Meanwhile, the Away Team continues to be courted by the JelonTek representatives, while a few question marks begin to surface about how some of their society operates.

And now, the continuation...

CMO_Kimura says:
::in the shuttle, about to power-down all of the systems and get out of it::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::on the Geneva bridge as acting captain in Shras and Taal's stead::
CIV_Azanna says:
::falls off her couch and wakes up::
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: You know, we shouldn't be doing this.
XO_Taal says:
CMO: There are some who would argue that we should.
FCO_Williams says:
::exits TL on bridge and heads to FCO station::
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: No, I'm shutting down this shuttle. We don't need to help the Briengogh unless they ask us first.
TO_Keach says:
::At main tactical::
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CIV*: Ms. Azanna... ::holds back a chuckle using that name:: ...care to join me on the bridge. We're a little short-handed up here and I know you have what it takes to help.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: watches Jaron and the others as they interact with each other ::
CIV_Azanna says:
::sits up and looks around:: Self: Oh... ::calms down:: I'm fine...
FCO_Williams says:
::notices the CTO is in the command chair, and looks at him questioningly:: CTO: I guess the rumors are true? The XO and CMO are taking a shuttle.
XO_Taal says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CSO_Jakiel says:
#Jaron: I would be very interested to read about the history of your people. How you evolved into this corporate society.
CNS_Bauer says:
#::In the JelonTek conference room speaking with the Briengogh representatives::
XO_Taal says:
CMO: We can assist them faster if we were closer to them.
FCO_Williams says:
::assumes his position at the Flight Controls::
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: Well, which is more important... upholding Federation Law or somebody telling us we should help them.
CIV_Azanna says:
*CTO*: Me? 'Help' Kizzie? How much am I getting paid?
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: I leave it in the Commander's hands now. But we will provide watch on his shuttle while they're away.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
@ ::shuffling down the corridors, beaming as always about his company's - and his peoples' - work, even in his old age::
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: It was their own fault for getting into danger... why should we get court-marshaled for it?
XO_Taal says:
CMO: The Prime Directive does not apply.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::patiently waiting for the shuttle to say they're leaving so she can open the shuttle bay doors::
FCO_Williams says:
::checks flight controls:: CTO: Very well.
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CIV*: Not a single slip of latinum, I'm afraid. Care to do it for old time's sake?
XO_Taal says:
CMO: My only concern is affecting the result of the Captain's First Contact mission.
FCO_Williams says:
::begins running some low level diagnostics::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: As I was saying Ensign ::speaking to the CSO::  can you please tell me more about the device you were using to check out our food and <a little sarcastically> "us?"
CIV_Azanna says:
*CTO*: This time. But you'rre buying dinnerr tonight.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
@ ::looks out the windows, seeing a growing crowd at the security gates... sighs... it has begun:: Employee: Where is Ms. Gohgitem and her staff now?
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: smiles at the counselor :: CNS: So tell me more about your Federation. I am anxious to learn about them.
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: Okay, well whatever. ::puts her hands behind her head and leans back in her chair:: We might be here a while.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
@ <Employee> Olpinfa: Uhm... I believe Conference Room 4, with some odd-looking people.
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Makes sure their flight path is clear and keeps our distance from them. We're going to follow for now. TO: The moment the shuttle departs, I want you to have tractor beams and transporters on standby, just in case we have to intervene.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: ....and us about you. The Federation is a wondrous thing. It means to unify the universe in the spirit of understanding and cooperation.
XO_Taal says:
CMO: Very well. ::enters a few commands into his console::
CO_Shras says:
#:: look at his officers talking to the two natives ::
XO_Taal says:
CMO: You are free to depart the shuttle if you wish.
CSO_Jakiel says:
::doesn't need her empathic sense to 'hear' the irritation caused by her scanning action::  Jaron:  I am sorry you were offended. We meet new species frequently and it is standard procedure. We could pose a biological danger to you as well as you to us. Occasionally those we meet sometimes mean us harm.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: You got it Sir ::slides his hands over the console setting up tractor beam settings::
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CIV*: Thank you. I'll keep a turbolift open for you. Kizlev out.
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you. We don't have clearance from the Captain.
CIV_Azanna says:
::adjusts her coat and gloves, then exits her quarters and heads to the TL::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: It's quite an accomplishment and all of us in the Federation are quite proud of our achievements.
XO_Taal says:
CMO: Doctor, you are dismissed.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: An interesting concept. Have there ever been serious conflicts with other competi.... errrrr members?
CMO_Kimura says:
::types on her console:: XO: But I will follow your orders, Commander.
XO_Taal says:
::enters a few more commands into the console and returns helm control to Kazue's console::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
@ ::mutters:: Employee: The Federation people? Why wasn't I told?!? Make yourself useful! Call Perimeter Security and get more staff at the gates. The unemployed Aquotonians are coming to riot.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: There are always conflicts. This is true in any "family" but, through the Federation things can usually be sorted out in a peaceable and satisfactory manner.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sighs:: FCO/TO: I need to ask you both for your opinions. Is it right that I allow Taal to carry out his mission like this, especially since he may be risking a violation of the Prime Directive?
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: No need to get hasty... I didn't finish my sentence... Geneva Flight Deck: Flight Deck this is the shuttle Baldwin requesting permission to leave. Stand by.
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks out at the Bridge as the TL doors open::
TO_Keach says:
CTO: Well, the way I see it is they already have warp capabilities
CTO_Kizlev says:
::gazes over at Grey and motions her over to the XO chair::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: I see.....  ::thinking how this device would really help:: Would you be willing to show me what it can do?
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: Very well :: adjusts course accordingly::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
@ ::starts shuffling at a quickened pace towards the conference room::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: grins and leans forward :: CNS: I suppose you could always withhold their profit until they comply right?
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Looks over at Mirack, wishing he would curb his curiosity, for now::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: He obviously has his reasons for doing this, but what they can be I have no idea.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::re-sends the permission for the shuttle to depart:: *CMO* Let me know when you're ready to go, ma'am, I'll open the doors then
CMO_Kimura says:
<Flight Deck> Baldwin: Baldwin you are cleared. Proceed at your own discretion.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: So in a sense, we aren't doing anything wrong
CMO_Kimura says:
*OPS*: Open 'em up, Verai.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: keeps an eye on Jaron as she watches the woman with the device ::
CIV_Azanna says:
::slowly exits the TL and studies the Bridge and it's inhabitants before warily making her way to Kizlev, nonchalantly showing him her disruptors, as if she 'still' does not trust this crew::
CMO_Kimura says:
XO: Here we go. ::powers on the shuttle::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::hits a button, and opens the shuttle bay doors::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: To jeopardize the First Contact mission. This way is certainly out of character.
CTO_Kizlev says:
TO: Perhaps... FCO: I would prefer he were more open with said reasons.
CMO_Kimura says:
::moves the shuttle out of the hanger and into space::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::opens the door and shuffles into the room, slightly hunched and hobbling, wide beaming smile underneath his aged features::
XO_Taal says:
$::monitors his console::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: The Federation does not compensate its members with monetary gains. It doesn't work like that. The Federation is more of a governing body with laws and guidelines agreed upon by its members which, we all do our best to live by.
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: We have cleared the docking bay.
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::adjusts her position, a little uneasy about revealing too much::  Jaron:  I believe it would be permissible to demonstrate some of the things we can test with it. It collects data, such as with medical scans and tests to show composition of items we scan.
TO_Keach says:
::finishes getting a transporter lock on the shuttle crew::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#:: moves closer to the young, attractive ensign, as she is quite exotic compared to what he has known of his own species::
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: I hope you know what you are doing, Taal... I really do...
CO_Shras says:
#:: startled by the new arrival ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
ALL: My better judgment said to beam his shuttle back into the bay and detain Taal. But... something else says I must follow orders. ::stares at Grey::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: My observations of the sensor readings and the radio transmissions from the Transport ship, lead me to believe that there may be no crew on board and only passengers.
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: I would certainly hope so. Kazue, set a course for the Briengogh homeworld. Full Impulse.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::crosses her fingers and hopes the XO and CMO can do what they were planning without too much trouble::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: I just don't understand how you can run a Federation with so much competition.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# All: Ladies, gentlemen, spectacular to see you... I am Hansre Olpinfa, the founder of JelonTek. ::extending hand::
CMO_Kimura says:
$::plots the course:: XO: Course laid in. We are on our way.
CIV_Azanna says:
::gives Kizlev an 'I hope ya know what you're doin kid' look before turning around to look at the viewscreen::
CO_Shras says:
#Narinda: That is because we do not compete with each other
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: Competition? The Federation neither competes nor hinders a species progress in any of the sciences.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::realizes there are now two Caitians on the bridge, a sight rare in Starfleet these days::
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: When we reach the planet, maintain geosynchronous orbit above the Captain's position.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: I am Captain Shras
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::feels the 'interest' from the Brien'gho'sian and turns slightly to put the tricorder between them but where he can see the readout more clearly::  Jaron:  Watch the little screen while I scan myself...
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: The Captain speaks the truth. You have much to learn of us.
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Sees an old Breingogh join the group::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: It appears the ship is on an automated flight path, its last transmission indicated it was unable to complete programmed flight due to Engineering Support Crisis
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: sees Hansre enter the room and sighs :: CNS: Excuse me counselor, I must tend to Hansre. :: stands and walks over to him::
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: Aye, sir...
OPS_L`yaian says:
::blinks at the other Caitian, wondering when she came on board, and then realizes she must be the new CIV::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: Of course ::Stands::
CIV_Azanna says:
::leans back and gets comfy in the chair, sighing under her breath::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::shakes hands with the Captain:: CO: You're... from the Federation, yes? ::shaky voice::
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: So you know about the Federation?
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# Narinda: I'm fine I'm fine... ::shooing her off:: Come, sit, sit...
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: pulls Hansre aside :: Hansre: What are you doing here? I told you that I would take care of the Federation people. Are you trying to ruin everything?
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Takes his place by the Captain's side::
XO_Taal says:
$::cycles through the flight systems and monitors the impulse drive::
CMO_Kimura says:
$::sighs again:: XO: So what's our plan?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sees the shuttle on the move:: OPS: Keep a channel open with the shuttle at all times if possible. FCO: Begin our pursuit, 1/2 impulse. Let's give them some distance...say 2 million kilometers, and then match their speed. I want to make sure we aren't detected by the bio-ship while we follow.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::gives Narinda the "old man" glare:: Narinda: I founded this company on the sole premise of meeting the Federation. That's what all of the company's founders, and The Consortium, was formed for! Don't tell me I can't participate in my own dream!
TO_Keach says:
::Watches his monitor as the shuttle leaves the bay:: CTO: Transporter and tractor beam locks ready Lieutenant
CO_Shras says:
#:: sees the tension between Hansre and Narinda ::
XO_Taal says:
$::turns his head and looks at Kazue:: CMO: The plan is to consult with the Captain. Find out how talks are progressing.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods to the TO::
CIV_Azanna says:
::yawns and puts her paws behind her head:: CTO: Yeah, rreally fun, Kizzie.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Whispers:: CO: Narinda certainly has a hard disposition, at times. ::Notes her interaction with the old man::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#::thinks.. Here they go again....::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods:: CTO: Of course ::opens the channel, ready for anything::
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::turns to look at the older scientist, curious about his frustration::
CMO_Kimura says:
$::blinks:: XO: Oh? Is that all? ::is confused but somewhat relieved::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: keeps smiling as she tries to calm the old man :: Hansre: Fine, stay and ruin everything that we've been working for all this time. :: goes and sits her hands folded on the table ::
CTO_Kizlev says:
CIV: You know, you really don't need those here, Grey.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::points to the holstered pistols at her side::
CMO_Kimura says:
$::looks on her console:: XO: Looks like the Geneva is following us. Probably trying to catch us.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre/Narinda: Please, we can all sit together and exchange our numerous questions about each other
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: Open a channel to the Geneva.
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks over her sunglasses:: CTO: Hey someone might pick a fight.
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: 1/2 impulse, 2million kilometer distance, aye ::makes adjustments::
CNS_Bauer says:
#ALL: That is a good idea, Captain. Please, let's all be seated.
CMO_Kimura says:
$::types:: XO: Open.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::his gazes turns to a glare:: CIV: Not while I'm in command here.
CSO_Jakiel says:
# Jaron:  Could we invite the gentleman over here? It sounds as if he has worked hard. I think he would enjoy seeing this.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: motions to Jaron to sit beside her ::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: I would like to do that as well, however, you can tell that my ‘boss’ really wants me to sit over there. Sitting isn’t something I do very well, as I’m used to being in the cockpit of something faster than a standstill  ::walks over and sits next to Narinda::
CIV_Azanna says:
::slightly surprised look:: CTO: And.... you arre?
XO_Taal says:
$*CTO*: CTO: You are to remain hidden, Lieutenant.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::doesn't respond to Narinda's quip... shouldn't have to. He still signs her paycheck. Goes back to a seat:: CO: Mr.... ? I'm sorry I didn't catch the name.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods, a serious look in his eyes:: CIV: I am the ranking officer for now. ::looks up at the call:: OPS: On screen.
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Takes a seat next to the Captain::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: mumbles something about old men and their place in retirement homes ::
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: Captain Shras
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods and puts the call on screen::
CIV_Azanna says:
::chuckles:: Self: How cute, the little man has grrown up.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: What was that?
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: Something about home?
CTO_Kizlev says:
*XO*: Hidden we shall stay, sir. We're giving you some distance, enough to respond to you in case of trouble, and enough to keep us away from their sensors if need be.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: I think I would like to see a typical home, maybe meet some of your people.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::pours a glass of... something:: CO: Captain, I most certainly know of the Federation. I was but a young child when the first wireless transmissions were picked up by our satellite network.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: I'm just worried about Hansre. He hasn't been well for a long time. :: Whispers :: To be honest, I wouldn't trust everything he says counselor. :: Points to her head and nods :: You know..
XO_Taal says:
$*CTO*: Keep in mind that you are to assist the Harkening at moment's notice. Following us deeper into the system would hinder your efforts to do so. Turn the Geneva around.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: He looks fine to me but, I will consider your warning.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: That can be arranged, once the contract has been signed.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: Call it youthful... ::turns to Narinda:: Narinda: I am still the owner of this company, I am still your boss, and I ::slams cane on floor:: DEMAND some respect in the presence of our society's greatest achievement!
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: What would be our ETA to the Harkening from our present position at maximum warp?
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Listens to the old man's tale::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
ACTION: DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE AQUOTON CORPORATION'S PROTOTYPE PROJECT TO REACH FASTER THAN LIGHT SPEED FIRST, MILLIONS OF EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN PUT OUT OF WORK BY THE FAILED, NOW ALMOST BANKRUPT COMPANY. THEY ARE NOT HAPPY PEOPLE
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: whispers to the CNS :: See, very irrational.
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks over and notices another Caitian... studies her for a moment... ::self: Ahh.. Just a kitten..
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: I'd say you had it coming. ::Smiles, hoping she has a sense of humor::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
<Security> # ::radio chimes:: Ms. Gohgitem, Mr. Olpinfa... We're having problems down here. The rioters are becoming too much, and we're be... Aaaahhh!!! ::chanting, gunfire, etc sounds::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: Wait one, will have the answer for you in a moment.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: looks over at Jaron as if to say, "Do something.”
CSO_Jakiel says:
#::leaves Jaron to walk a few steps to the older man::  Hansre:  Sir, would you like to see how this scanner works also?
XO_Taal says:
$::monitors the Geneva's course::
CNS_Bauer says:
#:: Becomes alarmed by this incoming transmission::
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: So are we going down to the planet?
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Very well. Maintain course and speed. *XO*: I assure you, sir, we'll be able to promptly respond to the Harkening, but I must make certain you do violate not Federation law at the same time.
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: No, that would be a breach in protocol.
CNS_Bauer says:
#HANSRE/NARINDA: There's a riot? Sounds like troubles.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::rolls eyes:: CO: I figured this would happen... Millions of disgruntled. Our security forces anticipated it, but... well...
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: listens to the radio and shrugs :: CNS: Excuse me again, but it seems that the competition is giving security a bit of trouble.
CNS_Bauer says:
#CO: Sir, perhaps we should return to the shuttle. We are not equipped to offer the kind of assistance they may need.
XO_Taal says:
$*CTO*: Those are not your orders, Lieutenant. If you monitor our course, we are headed for the Briengogh homeworld. Not the transport vessel.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
<Security> # ::still over radio:: Backup... Need backup... !!!!
XO_Taal says:
$*CTO*: Turn the ship around! That's an order.
CTO_Kizlev says:
OPS: In case we needed to be... how do they say it? Incognito in terms of Briengogh sensors, do you think we could reduce our signature or be invisible in case we needed to get close?
CIV_Azanna says:
::perks her ears:: CTO: Someone sounds crranky.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#Hansre: I told you this would happen. :: stands and heads for the door :: Are you coming?
CO_Shras says:
#*Geneva*: Shras to Geneva...
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: We are less than 1 hour transit time to the USS Harkening, at warp 6
CNS_Bauer says:
#CO: Sounds like a civil war has started out there.
CMO_Kimura says:
$::has never heard Taal raise his voice before and is caught a bit off-guard::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::thinks for a moment:: CTO: I think we could pull something out of the magic hat, as they say, if we needed to - their sensors aren't that advanced, so it shouldn't be too hard
CTO_Kizlev says:
TO: Split screen on the incoming transmission, Ensign. Let's tie the Captain and the XO together on the same channel.
TO_Keach says:
CTO: Aye sir ::spits the incoming transmissions::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: calls over her radio ::*Security*: Call in the second shift now. I'll get there as soon as I can.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: We're fine in here, I think. Though we've barely met, I will admit, is there any assistance you could lend? We seem to have misjudged the size of the first group of rioters.
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CO*: This is Lieutenant Kizlev in command, Captain. Do you need assistance?
CO_Shras says:
#*CTO*: Lieutenant Kizlev, have Ensign Keach either teleported or on a shuttle to come assist us
CNS_Bauer says:
#CO: I don't believe we will get an honest answer here. If we offered help we would need to know the whole truth. They are keeping many secrets.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: I am sorry but I cannot intervene in your internal affairs
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::watches everyone, feels the rising emotions outside the building. Decides that may be why she seems to be invisible::
XO_Taal says:
$::monitors the shuttle as it approaches the planet::
TO_Keach says:
::Looks up:: CTO: Did he say me, sir?
CIV_Azanna says:
::chuckles under her breath:: Self: Just a bunch of squabbling childrren.
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: Just about ready for orbit.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#Jaron: What about you? Are you coming?
CSO_Jakiel says:
#::walks over to the window to look outside. Drops the tricorder to her side::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: All stop. *CO*: I am sending the Ensign right away, sir. Should I include a security detachment as well?
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#::follows the Ensign to the window.... realizing his distraction may have offended her:: Narinda: In a moment Ma’am, I’ll be right there….
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: Thank you.
OPS_L`yaian says:
TO: Yes, he did, actually. Have fun ::grins a little::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: I'm sorry Ensign....  I was distracted when Hansre entered the room.... he carries tremendous responsibilities with Jelon Tek......
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::seriously can't believe this is happening... so soon into their contact::
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: Aye, all stop.
CNS_Bauer says:
#CSO: Ensign Jakiel, I think we are sending for reinforcements... stay close.
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: I suppose you have questions about what is going on out there ::points to beyond the security fences outside the building... towards the growing crowds::
CMO_Kimura says:
$::can't stand the silence anymore:: XO: Aren't you afraid something is going to go wrong? ::turns to Taal::
XO_Taal says:
$::begins to tap his combadge in Morse code to get the Captain's attention::
CO_Shras says:
#*CTO*: Not for now, we cannot fight anyone down here, we will only protect ourselves
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Bring us about. Reverse course to our previous position. We will no longer interfere with the XO's mission... for now.
XO_Taal says:
$::turns to Kazue:: CMO: Kazue, one cannot be afraid of the unknown.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
ACTION: The automated flight computer on the medical ship, sensing it's now going in the wrong direction (back to Briengogh), begins to have the ship's thrusters do a 180.
CTO_Kizlev says:
*CO*: Understood, sir. Please be advised that Commander Taal has departed from Geneva and is now headed for the Briengogh homeworld with Doctor Kimura.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: moves over and takes Jaron's arm:: Jaron: Listen if we don't take care of that mob out there, the Federation is never going to give us that contract and that means that you and I could be standing out there with them.
TO_Keach says:
::Turns to the CTO ready to move into the TL:: CTO: On my way
CO_Shras says:
#*CTO*: Acknowledge, Shras out
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::presses one hand against her temple, trying to shunt off the high emotional level from the native people::
CO_Shras says:
#*XO*: Shras to Taal
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: Very well, returning to previous position. ::turns the Geneva 180 degrees and begins the return trip::
CIV_Azanna says:
::sighs and pulls out her flask, taking a quick drink::
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Have the Shuttlebay prepare a type-9 for the ensign and clear his departure at his convenience.
CNS_Bauer says:
#::Goes to Narinda:: NARINDA: The Federation thinks highly on honesty and integrity. Suppose you tell me what is really going on outside.
CTO_Kizlev says:
OPS: Cut visual on the signal to the XO, but continue to monitor his communications.
XO_Taal says:
$*CO*: Captain, we have a situation. Sensors have detected a transport vessel on course for the second planet in the system. Sensors have indicated that they originated from the Briengogh homeworld.
CSO_Jakiel says:
# ::drops her hand and focuses on Jaron:: Jaron: Quite a few questions. We did not bring our own security people and we are unarmed. This is a serious issue if you intend to impress the Federation.
CMO_Kimura says:
$::nods and goes back to her piloting::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods again, and does as the CTO has asked::
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#Narinda: yes ma'am, I understand.... completely... ::returns his attentions to the visiting Ensign who has moved to the windows::
XO_Taal says:
$*CO*: The vessels engines have failed, they will not reach the second planet in time.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::sighs, lowers head, dark sullen look:: All: ... side-effects of what we have developed into, in our quest to make contact.
CO_Shras says:
#*XO*: What is particular about that vessel?
CIV_Azanna says:
::bares her teeth in a grimace as she swallows the alcohol::
TO_Keach says:
::Steps into the TL:: Main Shuttlebay
CTO_Kizlev says:
CIV: I can always ask for Ensign K'Larn to take over, but I'd rather you at tactical for now, Grey.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: Outside? Oh you mean the crowd out there?
CIV_Azanna says:
::chokes:: CTO: Uhh... ahh... what now?
CO_Shras says:
#*XO*: So you have decided to tow them to the second planet, right?
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: We seem to be in the middle of some sort of protest.... a protest of the aggressive type. Care to elaborate?
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: Very well. ::informs Shuttlebay personnel to prepare a shuttle for immediate departure:
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: And I warn you ::Smiles sheepishly:: I am quite good at detecting when someone is evading an issue.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::stands from his seat and goes over to tactical:: OPS: I need your help here for a moment ensign. CIV: Please come, Grey.
XO_Taal says:
$*CO*: The vessel is also emitting a warning beacon to other ships to stay away due to a medical situation. At present, I have decided no course of action. I was hoping you could shed some light as to what is happening.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: They are from Aquoton the losing company. We beat them by developing the first ship to make warp. They are just sore losers. We win the contract and the Consortium is happy.
TO_Keach says:
::Exits the TL and walks into main Shuttlebay, the first thing he looks for is an armaments locker::
CIV_Azanna says:
::stands up and is just about to launch into her "I never want to be nor ever will be a Fed stooge, you guys make me sick" speech, but rolls her eyes and sighs for a moment, then follows him::
CO_Shras says:
#*XO*: Any identification on that vessel?
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: That's kind of a cold attitude, don't you think. These are your people, these Aquotons. What does your world plan on doing for them?
XO_Taal says:
$*CO*: Yes, the beacon identifies itself as Medical Transport BM-522.
TO_Keach says:
::Grabs a hand phaser and a rifle and gets into a tiny shuttle, also preparing it for take-off::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: looks over at the blue man talking into his chest and wonders if that's normal ::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::goes over to tactical, curious to know what the CTO is up to::
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: My crew have located a ship identified Medical Transport BM-522 with failing engines, can we be of help?
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: Do for them? I suppose we could offer them jobs when the new contract with the... errrrr is signed, but at a reduced wage of course.
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks over at the kitten, trying to remember when she was that young::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::opens up the LCARS command access database:: Computer: Open command access database. Open new login entry. Civilian crewmember... name, Grey Azanna. Voice Authorization Kizlev Sierra-Tango 12. OPS: I'll need you to concur and assign her the proper access so she can control tactical.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: When the Federation looks at a candidate for membership in the Federation we look at the planets people as a whole. We would not accept just a fraction of a race. Especially when based on a contest or who has the most toys.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::rubs eyes, ashamed to admit this:: CO: ... It's a transport from Diversified Medical... with some of our employees, and some of Aquotons...
TO_Keach says:
*CTO*: I am ready to depart; I just need clearance, sir
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: They're terminally ill, at least from our standpoint. They're on a transport to a medical containment colony on one of our outer planets. ::throws hands in air:: Makers only know what you are medically capable of.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods and taps a few controls on the console, setting it up for the older Caitian so she can use it:: CTO/CIV: All set up, and ready for use
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: Diversified Medical?
FCO_Williams says:
*TO*: FCO here, you are clear to depart
CTO_Kizlev says:
FCO: Go ahead and grant departure clearing, Lieutenant. *TO*: The Captain is counting on your arrival. Safe journey, Ensign.
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: Believe me there is enough to go around. Isn't there a way of making all of the Briengogh a part of this new phase in your planets history? This is truly a new day for you all. It would be nice to see all your people rejoice in the bounty.
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#:: glares at the counselor :: CNS: Your Federation does not understand us then. Briengogh is a business not a nursery school.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: So you don't object if we help them travel there
CSO_Jakiel says:
# Jaron: Have you no security forces of your own?
CTO_Kizlev says:
::nods to L`yaian:: OPS: Thank you much. CIV: Tactical is yours. I'm sure you won't find these controls too confusing. ::grins::
TO_Keach says:
*FCO/CTO*: Understood ::Initiates engines and the shuttles leave the bay heading for the CO's location on the planet::
XO_Taal says:
$::looks at Kazue:: CMO: How are you?
CIV_Azanna says:
CTO: Lemme guess.... therre ain't nothin out therre forr me to shoot is therre?
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: One of the other companies... Almost all of our world are run by roughly a thousand or so companies, each specializing in an area of major society. We found it to be most efficient roughly 80 or so years ago.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::smiles and returns to her own station::
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: Oh, me? I'm just listening.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: No... No, no objection at all. Then again, once they get to the colony, we can't help them. They're terminally-ill, like I said. We just keep them there to live out the rest of their lives.
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: You were willing to disobey my orders because you felt you were right.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::turns about and points his antennae at her, still holding the grin:: CIV: On a ship like this, you never know. ::goes back to the command chair::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: I think I am beginning to understand your ways, I just can't agree with them. It's you who I feel needs understanding. Understanding about what is really important. It's not the gain of wealth or power; it's the gain of knowledge and cooperation.
FCO_Williams says:
::monitoring progress of both shuttles::
CIV_Azanna says:
::rolls her eyes and looks over the console:: Self: Hmmm interresting... ::runs her paw over the console lightly, purring softly::
CO_Shras says:
#*XO*: Commander, assist the failing ship to reach its destination, said to be the second planet of the system. They are critically ill people so be gentle, maybe you could send some medical scans to the doctor to see if we can help. Do not take actions without contacting me Taal. Shras out
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: Ensign, what those people out there don't seem to understand is that even though Jelon Tek technically won the contest to develop the faster than light engine, we'll need to have subcontractors work with our own workers to develop and construct ships that can use it
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: No. I'm compelled to follow orders. I was just giving my opinion.
XO_Taal says:
$*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain. Taal out.
CTO_Kizlev says:
OPS/FCO: I'm sorry, how can I be so dense? Have you two met our new combat instructor and tactical attaché Grey Azanna yet?
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: moves closer to the window and looks down :: CNS: In the old days.. Hansre's days, people had high ideals and hopes of bringing the Federation here, but as time passed, all of our resources went into this race to see who could make contact with you all first. The Consortium rules here and they set the rules. We won, it's that simple.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: Is their disease contagious?
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::looks at Jaron:: Mirack: I have no idea how well The Consortium will react to that idea, you know that.
CIV_Azanna says:
:;perks ears and looks up::
CSO_Jakiel says:
# Jaron:  Is there no way to speak to them. Do they have an executive officer you could explain this to so that person could calm the crowd?
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: I signed up for Starfleet knowing that I would have to do some things that I wouldn't want to do if a superior asked me.
OPS_L`yaian says:
::raises her eyebrows at the CIV, but shakes her head:: CTO: No sir... CIV: Pleased to meet you, ma'am
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: It is fortunate you decided to stay. Prepare to leave orbit and set a course for the medical transport. Full Impulse.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::chuckles:: CO: No... no... Radiation poisoning, I think. I forget. I'm just the owner. I don't get all the reports. ::wry smile::
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sits back, folding his hands, and smiling, glad to break the usual icy atmosphere on the bridge::
CIV_Azanna says:
::small grin at the mention of "ma'am" :: OPS: Haven't been called that in ages... just call me Grrey.
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: Well, I should think our corporate security force can handle a few upset workers......
CMO_Kimura says:
$::nods:: XO: Tracking the shuttle... now... course laid in... and off we go.
FCO_Williams says:
CTO: No, I have not :turns to Grey and nods:: CIV: G'day. Howzit goin. ::smiles::
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
# :: calls to Jaron :: Jaron: At a reduced wage of course remember Jaron.
CO_Shras says:
#Hansre: Why then send them away? They could live on this planet?
CMO_Kimura says:
$::engages the shuttle at full impulse::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods:: CIV: Sure, Grey...I'm Verai ::smiles::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: So maybe your people NOW can afford to relax and reap the benefits of all the hard work your people have done. A new era. A time for changes. Isn't it good business for a company to grow and change?
CIV_Azanna says:
::smiles at the FCO:: FCO: You, I like.
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# ::looks over at Narinda:: Narinda: Sit down NOW or I'll dock your pay lower than the subcontractors! I tire of your one-track mind. That's all you've ever been in your career, always looking for the way to get ahead of the other managers.
TO_Keach says:
%:: Locates the away team's shuttle on sensors and lands near it::
FCO_Williams says:
CIV: Just call me Steve, Grey ::smiles and turns back to the front::
XO_Taal says:
$::readies the sensors to perform a full sweep on the medical transport::
CMO_Kimura says:
$XO: You're the First Officer and I'm just the Doctor. Unless you are sick, I can't tell you not to do something. ::smiles::
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: Perhaps, now and in the days to come you will see that some of your peoples ways are out dated and old fashion. 
CSO_Jakiel says:
# Jaron:  It would appear that your security forces are overwhelmed. The anger of the crowd seems to be a serious concern. How well is this building secured?
Narinda_Gohgitem says:
#CNS: Perhaps counselor.....Zach, but remember, this is only the beginning. From here we shall do great things at Jelon Tek if certain people mind their own business. :: gives Hansre a look ::
Hansre_Olpinfa says:
# CO: Diversified Medical didn't have the resources, far as I know. How they conduct their business is their problem. They must've found it more efficient to send them away. I don't know. We just have a contract.
CTO_Kizlev says:
OPS: Now...I believe we were talking about reducing our visible signature?
Host Jaron_Mirack says:
#CSO: Don't worry, we're quite safe here :: thinks to self - for now::
XO_Taal says:
$CMO: Unless you feel that I am acting irrationally due to possible illness or infection.
TO_Keach says:
%::Pulls out his tricorder to detect where the away team may be::
OPS_L`yaian says:
::nods:: CTO: yes sir, I'm working on it right now
CNS_Bauer says:
#NARINDA: The greatest thing you can do for yourselves is keep your minds open to new ideas. The Federation is about new ideas and a better way of life for ALL.
CTO_Kizlev says:
::sits up straight in his chair, amazed how comfortable it feels, how right it feels, and takes a deep breath of satisfaction::
FCO_Williams says:
::continues to monitor the away team as well as the XO's shuttle::
CO_Shras says:
#*TO*: Ensign, where are you?
