::runs to the bridge fixing his uniform::  XO:  Sorry I am late, I must still be a little tired from my recent illness.  What is going on? ::Cook stands on the bridge trying to catch his breath::

U`lona says:
@::nods at Ubo:: Ubo: Go.

CSO_Vortak says:
::raises eyebrow and looks at T'Kral::  CMO:  Klingon?  Are you sure?

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U'lona: Very well, we await your response... we seek only cordial relations with your people.

U`lona says:
@U’tyme: Yes he does ::looks at CIV:: The cat is sssmarrrt to have chosen him as hisss ssserrrvant...

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Good, Doctor.

CMO_OMallory says:
CSO: These results are preliminary, but, so far...

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: Aye sir, I will give them all that they require if it is requested...

XO_Loren says:
::listens to CMO::

U`lralis says:
@U'tyme: I am at a lossss for what to do next sirrr.

XO_Loren says:
CEO: Good, Mr. Taylor.

CSO_Vortak says:
~~~CNS:  Look at the viewscreen, counselor.  They think Tesla is in command~~

CEO_Taylor says:
::prepares the tractor beam and a shuttle in case of a random emergency::

CSO_Vortak says:
CMO:  Fascinating.

Host Brenda says:
<UBO> ::can not believe after traveling for over 500 years they will all be dead in 14 hours::

CMO_OMallory says:
CSO: Quite...

U`lona says:
@All: We will trusssst the cat and hisss crew...

Host U`tyme says:
@::Nods in agreement with U’lona::

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: We will take yourrr kind offerrrr for help... we just need to essstablish an orrrbit arrround this planet.

Host U`tyme says:
@All: Yesss, :: eyes twinkle::

CMO_OMallory says:
XO: Sir, these are the results of them so far, but still in the early stages.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: Given the mass of their ship, it will be necessary to project a substantial subspace field to reduce the effect mass of the ship in order for our tractors to arrest its movement.

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~CSO: well, I am not sure who they are but if they think Tesla is in charge then well that is their problem, but we could use it to our advantage if needed.  Could you give me an update~~~~

CEO_Taylor says:
::prepares the tractor beam::

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Please instruct the CEO.

XO_Loren says:
::nods at CMO::

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U'lona.  Stand by we are moving to assist you now.

Host U`tyme says:
@::Nudges U'lralis:: U'lralis: Tell them what they need to know.

CMO_OMallory says:
::goes back to console and analyses the data some more::

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: We arrrre sssstanding by...

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Will this be any strain in the Gryphon?

CTO_Ultsim says:
::prepares to do....something::

CSO_Vortak says:
CNS: ~~~Certainly.  The asteroid released several shuttles which contained these feline lifeforms, preliminary DNA scans show possible Klingon presence.  Their ship is now caught in the gravity of the large planet.~~~

CEO_Taylor says:
OPS: I'm going to be needing all the power you can spare to the tractor beam, I think that we are going to need it!

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Scans show that their ship is very primitive, recommend proceeding with caution. Do not forget the prime directive.

U`lona says:
@U’tyme: How funny that such a light colored cat can command ssssuch a big sssship...

OPS_Ning says:
CEO: Aye sir.

Civ_Ian says:
CEO: You need to set up the main deflector to project a subspace field... downloading schematics and software updates to you now.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Primitive, how?

CNS_Cook says:
::walks over to where Vortak is standing to get a better look to find out what is going on::

XO_Loren says:
CEO: Do they show warp capability?

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks for why there would be Klingon DNA within there gene structure::

OPS_Ning says:
::finds all of the energy that can be spared from ship systems and allocates it to the tractor beam::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Did not have much in the way of guiding their ship.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: There will be some...   warp power should be diverted to the main deflector for the subspace field, to the tractor and to the SIF and IDF.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  I see.

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~CSO: how long have we been in contact with them~~~~

Host Brenda says:
ACTION: Automated Defense systems on the U’rath go off, they are unable to shut it off.. small weapons are enabled

CEO_Taylor says:
CIV: Thank you Doctor...

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I doubt they have much propulsion capability at all... they seem to have coasted into the system.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Please minimize the effect on the Gryphon, but proceed.

U`lona says:
@All: Which button did you pussssh now?

CSO_Vortak says:
~~~CNS: About 10 minutes, it took a while for the universal translator to get going.~~~

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I will do my best.

TO_KTral says:
CTO: Scans show that the weapons are on line recommend raise shields.

U`lralis says:
COM: Gryphon: I am not familiar with what you ask what knowledge do you need?

U`lona says:
@::wags her tail in preoccupation::

Host U`tyme says:
@::Hears the weapons firing:: Oh no, what issss that?

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: They are not warp capable sir...

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO:  I can see that.  Shields are already up.

XO_Loren says:
CTO: What is that weapons fire?

U`lralis says:
@:: begins hitting buttons trying to stop weapons firing::

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~CSO:  what do we know about them so far, besides they are cats~~~~

U`lona says:
@U'tyme: Shut the buttonssss down... whicheverrrr it wassss...

Host U`tyme says:
@::sees new lights come on::

TO_KTral says:
CTO: Scans show that it was a malfunction.

XO_Loren says:
ALL: Remember the prime directive. These beings do not have warp capability.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: We need to close in and lock the tractor to the ship... we then need to project the subspace field and then use ships impulse engines to establish the ship in orbit.

CSO_Vortak says:
~~~ CNS: Not too much more than that at this point~~~

Host U`tyme says:
@::Frowns and hisses:: All: Thisss isssn't good.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  I'm not sure.  A malfunction maybe?

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: I have adapted the tractor beam to emit a subspace field to ease their weight, I am ready to proceed...

Host Brenda says:
ACTION: Cannons poke their noses out of portals on the U’rath and start firing..

U`lona says:
@::not too happy either::

Host U`tyme says:
@::Grabs an old dusty manual::

TO_KTral says:
XO: Shouldn’t we keep contact to a minimum?

U`lona says:
@::moves to help U'lralis with those buttons:: U'lralis: Which ones did you pussssh?

U`lralis says:
@::Thinks he finds manual override for weapons and turns them off::

XO_Loren says:
FCO: Shields up.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U’lona...   we are detecting weapons fire from you ship... why are you shooting?

Host Brenda says:
@<UBO> *U'lona* Are we firing on the other ship?

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  It looks like they're just firing randomly.

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~XO:  Sir, have we made contact with them yet~~~~

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Do not proceed until we find out why they fired.

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lralis: None! I touched nothing!

Civ_Ian says:
XO: They appear to suffering some sort of malfunction... standing by.

Host Brenda says:
ACTION: Manual override does not turn off weapons it increases their volley

XO_Loren says:
~~~~CNS: Yes~~~~

U`lona says:
@*Ubo* We don't want to... but ssssomebody pussshed a button he ssshouldn't have... ::eyes slit at her bridge crew::

U`lralis says:
@U'tyme: SSSir I cannot make them stop.

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lralis: It happened all on itss own.

CMO_OMallory says:
::the data streaming in gets more and more interesting::

U`lralis says:
@::finds power system for weapons, and cuts power::

TO_KTral says:
XO: Can we ask them if we can send over an engineering team?

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: We cannot assist you until weapons fire has ceased, you must find a way to shut down the weapons.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  Maybe you should ask permission to take out their weapons array?

U`lona says:
@COM: Gryphon: We arrrre not fighting at you... this is firrring on itsss own....

Host U`tyme says:
@::Flips through manual, claws tearing the paper::

XO_Loren says:
FCO: Get us away from their weapon range.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: We understand... can we assist you in shutting the weapons down?

XO_Loren says:
TO: Not at this time.

Host Brenda says:
@*U'lona* Very well.. I am going to shut the power to the ship.. if we turn it off we may never get it on.. we will have three days of air.. do you understand?

CTO_Ultsim says:
::quickly backs ship off::

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: Sir with the shields up, we will not have enough power to tractor them up...

XO_Loren says:
CTO: No.

Host U`tyme says:
@Self: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: I don't think you can... wait...

XO_Loren says:
CEO: We will not tractor them until the firing ceases and we are given a reason for it.

U`lralis says:
@All: I didn't engage them, I didn't.

U`lona says:
@*Ubo* No powerrr??? I will asskk the cat in the ship... three dayss....

Civ_Ian says:
XO: They report a system malfunction.. some sort of operator error.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: Understood, pausing rescue attempt...

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: Do you really think you can help usss?

XO_Loren says:
CIV: That may be.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U’lona... yes.. it should be no problem.

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: Can you and your leader ::points at Tesla:: come herrre to help ussss?

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~XO:  would it be possible to get an away team over there to turn off their systems. If they can’t do it then may be we should~~~~

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Ask them what specifically caused the malfunction.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: If you desire... I can bring additional assistants, as well

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: I do not want to shut the sssship's powerrr... ::shakes head empathically and reinforces with a carefully motion of her tail::

Host U`tyme says:
@All: I think becausssse the ssssyssstem isss ssso old, it jussst sssstated on itsss own.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: This ship is very old they need serious internal work.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: They say somebody pushed the wrong button... they appear to be unsure of how their ship works for some reason.

U`lona says:
@U’tyme: Thatsss a good explanation forr you... sssso nobody pusshed the wrong button...

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lona: No, no one.

XO_Loren says:
CNS: Please give us an analysis of the prime directive applicability to this species which has no warp capability.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO~~~~If I can get on the ship, I could help them and get the hull sample we needed~~~~

U`lona says:
@::purrs and starts licking her right paw::

TO_KTral says:
XO: Can we ask them if we can tow them to the nearest M class planet. Or if they want to settle on this one?

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U’lona: If you shut down your power we can tractor you into position and then fix your problem... we can restore operation to your ship before you run out of air.

U`lona says:
@::nervous:: COM: CIV: Is that a prrromissse? Willl you come herrre to do that?

U`lralis says:
@U'tyme: SSSir I believe the gravity interacting with our power core activated them

XO_Loren says:
TO: Yes. We can.

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Sir we have already made contact with which was breaking the prime directive so how could we make it worse?  We can’t let them go around shooting at things.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: The TO's suggestion seems like the least intrusive one.  It doesn't enhance their technology, but would assist them all the same.

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lona: ::cowering, tail down:: You know how old thisss ssship isss. You know all the "SSSSmart Onessss" died overrrr the last 500 yearrrsss.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Scans also show that the gravity made the weapons go off.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: I and my companions will come to your ship to fix it... I promise.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Analysis of the TO's solution?

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lralis: Yesss, that could do it.

U`lona says:
@::looks down and moves towards U’tyme:: U’tyme: Our fault... forrr not having learrrned....

XO_Loren says:
CNS: We have not yet broken the prime directive, and I want to make sure we don't.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: It will work... they apparently don't fully understand their ship and will need to leave it soon.

U`lona says:
@U’lralis: So that wasss it.... grrrravity.....

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Make it so.

Host U`tyme says:
@::Cowering yet defiant:: U'lona: And you took sssso many classssesss rrrright?

Civ_Ian says:
XO: Very well.

CMO_OMallory says:
XO: Data shows 85% feline decent, 15% Klingon DNA.

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: We will wait until you arrre herrre beforre turrrning our powerrr off... you surrre underrrstand...

CNS_Cook says:
XO: Then we have to come up with something that will not break it.  Can we get remote access to their computer with out them knowing it?

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Shuttles and transporters could be used to move the... cats... to a planet's surface.

U`lralis says:
@U’lona: I believe ssso, it could alssso be why we can't move ourselvesss.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: We don't want them to die, but we can’t give them new technology either.

TO_KTral says:
XO: Can they beam themselves down to a planet?

CMO_OMallory says:
XO: So far, but I would need one of them here for more detail report

U`lona says:
@U’tyme: I said "we" not "you" ::smacks her:: Now don't be sssarrrcasstic...

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lona: Whateverrrr the causssse, we need help.

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U’lona: Shut down your power.. we will move you close to the habitable planet.  If we cannot repair your ship before you run out of air, you can transfer to the planet and we will assist you.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Please ask them that?  Can they beam to the planet?

Host U`tyme says:
@::Hissess and extends claws only to retract them::

Civ_Ian says:
XO: If they cannot we can use our TR in evac mode to move them.

XO_Loren says:
::nods to CMO::

U`lona says:
@::finally in agreement with U’tyme:: U’tyme: That we do...

Host Brenda says:
@<UBO> *U'lona" It is agreed.. we will die if we do not get our ship moved.. I recommend we stop the ship and bale out.. we have enough shuttles for some of the population.. if we hurry we can transport more.. not a lot of time but some will be saved ::grim::

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I doubt they have TR tech or know how to use it if they do.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Noted.  Proceed.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: If they can't beam to the planet, it would be a violation of the prime directive to beam them down... sir.

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: But you have to come beforrre we sssshut the powerrr... what if you leave us herrrre?

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: U’lona: Very well, I will come over now.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  I don't think it would be... we aren't giving them the technology, just using it on them to save their lives.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I need to go to the other ship. Tesla and some EOs need to come with me.

XO_Loren says:
CEO: I disagree.

Host U`tyme says:
@::Hears Ubo.  Doesn't want to leave her home::

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: We will be awaiting forrr you... ::nods::

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Safety factor, Doctor.?

TO_KTral says:
XO: I recommend that we stick with them until they are ready to depart so we can assist them in getting off their ship.

U`lralis says:
@U’lona: I don't want to abandon our home, we have to save it.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I am not concerned at this point. Tesla senses no ill will or hostility towards us.

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lralis: Do something.

U`lona says:
@*Ubo* We will starrrt trrransporrrting people now Ubo... Please coorrrdinate that.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO/CSO: We would interfere in their way of life, forever, they would not be able to get back to their ship and they would be trapped on that planet for a very long time...

Civ_Ian says:
XO: I recommend we act swiftly.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: I however am concerned as to your wellbeing. You and Tesla are valuable to this ship.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: How can we get them off the ship with out contact with them?

Host Brenda says:
@<UBO>*U'lona* I will get them ready.  ::starts evacuation protocols::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO: But that is what they were already planning to do before the gravity interfered with their ship.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: If I do not go, they will not shut down the power and we cannot rescue them....   I think it is worth the risk.

U`lona says:
@U'lralis: We cannot take care of it... but maybe we can sssave it. We sssshal send people to the planet jusssst in cassse... but I will be sstaying herrre and ssso will you.

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Sir, If Ian is allowed over I would like to go with him.  I might be of some use.

U`lralis says:
@U’tyme: I have done all I know how, I can sssay for certain that the gravity isss what isss causing our problem but I don't know what to do.

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Go ahead, but take a full security detail with you.  CTO, you are going, too.

Civ_Ian says:
XO: The CNS might be helpful, as he suggests.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  OK.

Host U`tyme says:
@U'lralis: SSSend them the picturresss you ssstudy.  The onesss of the enginesss.

Civ_Ian says:
::stands and heads to the TR::

TO_KTral says:
XO: Recommend no weapons prime directive.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::signals a full security team to meet him in the TR::

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Very well. CNS: Go with them.

CTO_Ultsim says:
XO:  Weapons sir?

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Thank you. ::goes with Ian::

Host Brenda says:
Action: Shuttles start to leave the ship, containing 200 U'raths.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO/XO: Since we already interfered with their culture, I have no choice but to agree with beaming them down.

Civ_Ian says:
::enters TR and awaits the rest of the AT... grabs a tricorder and engineering field kit::

XO_Loren says:
OPS: You are to keep a lock on them at all times, is that clear?

U`lralis says:
@U’tyme: Ok they may understand them better than me.  ::sends schematic diagrams::

OPS_Ning says:
XO: Aye sir.

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks over data, looking for answers::

Host U`tyme says:
@::Tail twitching swiftly, fur on nape of neck is raised::

CNS_Cook says:
CIV:  Are they going to start shooting at us when we beam over?

CTO_Ultsim says:
::leaves for TR::

OPS_Ning says:
::calibrates sensors to keep a lock on each AT member::

U`lralis says:
@::looks at funny looking beings on screen::

Civ_Ian says:
CNS: I doubt it CNS.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Would you like to send a science representative on the AT, SO Roddenberry perhaps?

TO_KTral says:
XO: recommend we beam them into the cargo bay.

CMO_OMallory says:
Self: How...Klingon?  Why them?

CTO_Ultsim says:
::enters TR, meets rest of away team::

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Yes, she will be in charge of the AT and will keep contact with us at all times.

Host U`tyme says:
@Hopes that new cat comes with the ugly ones::

CNS_Cook says:
CIV:  Just checking.  How will they react?  I would be a little tense if an AT beamed over on my ship and I didn’t know what TR where.

XO_Loren says:
*TR* Civ: SO Roddenberry is in charge of the AT.

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: Yes, sire.  She is on her way to the TR.

U`lona says:
@::waits for the visits::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Could we not send over oxygen generators?

Host Brenda says:
ACTION: U’rath's weapons stop.. they are all out of ammunition

CMO_OMallory says:
*Press* Status of MED teams?

Civ_Ian says:
COMM: Ulona...   we will be there shortly, we will be using a transporter to get there, which means that we will simply appear on your ship.

U`lona says:
@*Ubo* We stopped firring?

CTO_Ultsim says:
::hopes they don't need a FCO in my absence::

XO_Loren says:
CMO: Please replace Mr. Ultsim at FCO.

U`lona says:
@COM: CIV: Your leaderrr is verry much rrrressspectable... ::bows her head a bit, her eyes glinting::

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> *CMO* All on status alert...

U`lralis says:
@U’lona: The moons are closer if there is one that has air we can go there and get more out faster.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Good idea.  Coordinate with science to see if it is possible.

CTO_Ultsim says:
SO:  We're ready when you are.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: It looks like the cannons are out of ammunition, I think that it is safe to drop the shields...

CMO_OMallory says:
::turns::  XO: Me?  ah...are you sure?  I mean, FCO?  Not sure I am the right one...I mean...

XO_Loren says:
*SO Roddenberry* Please let me know when your team is ready.

Host Brenda says:
@<UBO> ::continues to get the ship ready for its burial into the side of a fiery planet::

U`lona says:
@U’lralis: Ohhh good idea.... bettterrr than going to the planet and having this sssship collide with it...

CSO_Vortak says:
<SO> XO: We are heading for the TR now, sir.

U`lona says:
@*Ubo* Do not take the powerrr offf... we have stopped firrring..

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: I can take the FCO, the choice is yours, of course...

XO_Loren says:
CMO: Very well, Dr. if you would rather not.  CEO: Please have an engineer take FCO.

Civ_Ian says:
::foot taps impatiently on the deck as he awaits the rest of the AT::
