Host Trakar says:
Prologue: The department heads are gathered in Conference room one waiting for Trakar's arrival. the rest of the officers are running the ship.
Host Trakar says:
<<<Resume Mission>>>
CTO_Cutter says:
::Through some freakish act of space and time, has arrived on time to the meeting::
OPS_Lys says:
::Sits quietly next to her husband.::
CMO_Abbott says:
::enters the Conference room and takes a seat::
CNS_Cutter says:
::sits quietly trying to get all the yucky mental images and thoughts about her brother and the Captain out of her head::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Sitting in the chair at the head of the table, waiting for Trakar to arrive.::
Host Trakar says:
::reviews his report in his quarters for one last time then exits and heads to the conference room::
CEO_Davidson says:
::comes in just behind the CMO and takes a seat::
Host CSO_Lys says:
::eager to meet this Trakar after reading various reports on the scientist::
CMO_Abbott says:
::quietly tabulates who her next physical is after this meeting::
EO_Ivanova says:
::begins using antigrav unit on the space-time drive coil::
CNS_Cutter says:
::chews on her fingernail::
OPS_Lys says:
::Looks curiously at the counselor, wondering if she was hungry.::
Host Trakar says:
::pauses before entering the conference room to settle himself and brace for the odor::
CNS_Cutter says:
::shudders and tries to think non-scary thoughts::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Looks over her padd as if there's something important on it......doesn't like not knowing what they are getting themselves into.::
CEO_Davidson says:
CNS: You okay dock?
CTO_Cutter says:
::glances over at his sister with a questioning look... she's being weirder than normal today::
CNS_Cutter says:
::looks up a bit confused:: CEO: Huh?
CMO_Abbott says:
::notices the CNS fidgeting and looks over at her smiling:: CNS: I take it you don't like meetings?
CIV_Madison says:
::sits at the science station on the bridge, keeping an eye on sensors::
Host Trakar says:
::enters the conference room::
CNS_Cutter says:
::shakes her head at her brother before turning her attention to the CMO::  CMO: Not overly much. ::shrugs:: Does anyone?
EO_Ivanova says:
*CEO*: I will begin work on the space-time coils when we get out of warp sir.
Host CSO_Lys says:
::stands as the Vulcan scientist enters the room::
Host CO_Skye says:
CNS: Don't you know we all like to council our CNS, Ms. Cutter. ::chuckles.::
CMO_Abbott says:
::wrinkles her nose:: CNS: Probably not... ::nods in the direction of the CTO::... course he'
Host CO_Skye says:
::Swivels her chair to face the Scientist.:: Trakar: Good morning.
Host Trakar says:
CO: Captain: nods:: we will begin my presentation when you are ready::
CEO_Davidson says:
CNS: most meetings I have been to are okay *EO*:That's Fine. You have engineering till I am out of the meeting. Davidson out.
OPS_Lys says:
::Curious to why her husband stood.::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Tilts her head to the side just a bit.:: Trakar, I'm ready.
CTO_Cutter says:
::makes a face at the bratty CMO::
EO_Ivanova says:
::taps com-badge* *Ivanova out.
CNS_Cutter says:
::smiles at that::
EO_Ivanova says:
::uses magnetic probe on the core::
CMO_Abbott says:
::raises her eyebrows and makes one back, whispering to the CNS:: CNS: Childish isn't he?
Host CSO_Lys says:
::nods to the noted scientist before once again taking his seat, a little nervous::
Host Trakar says:
Aloud: Indeed Moves to the foot of the table and pulls up some views of the planet::
CNS_Cutter says:
::under her breath:: CMO: Absofreakinglutely!
OPS_Lys says:
::Watches curiously::
CEO_Davidson says:
::keeps an eye on the Scientist::
Host Trakar says:
Most of the views show the lush growth of a tropical rain forest
Host CSO_Lys says:
::makes notes::
CIV_Madison says:
::runs through some system diagnostics while things are quiet::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Crosses her legs as she watches the slides.::
CMO_Abbott says:
::looks to Trakar pretending she's been paying attention::
CNS_Cutter says:
::suddenly feels the need to bang her head against the table - repeatedly::
EO_Ivanova says:
::does a general system scan::
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Excuse me...  I'm assuming this isn't your last vacation, so what are we looking for here?
Host Trakar says:
All: The civilization on Ama Sainoz is a matriarchal society. They appear to be rather primitive.
Host CO_Skye says:
::Chuckles:: Women driven......I like them already.
CNS_Cutter says:
Amen to that!
CNS_Cutter says:
::clamps her hand over her mouth::
Host Trakar says:
CTO: I am merely attempting to give you some idea of what sort of conditions to expect.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO/CNS:  Yep... but note the primitive comment  ::grins::
CMO_Abbott says:
:;stifles a giggle at the CNS::
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Ahhhh...  thank you.  ::smothers a grin...  baiting Vulcans should be a sport::
CNS_Cutter says:
::shoots him an evil look:: CTO: bug breath
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Conditions?
Host Trakar says:
::glowers a bit at the CTO and continues:: All of their settlements are located in equatorial climates although they do range widely, traveling mostly on foot or by horseback.
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Just what do you mean?
Host CSO_Lys says:
::slightly embarrassed by the conduct of the staff... don't they know this is a extremely highly decorated scientist::
Host Trakar says:
::sighs rather loudly:: CEO: Conditions on the planet. ::wonders if it is safe to be on this vessel::
Host Trakar says:
::returns to his notes:: However, in our studies they have given indications of scientific advancement far beyond what appearances would suggest. For instance. They have an amazing grasp of climatic changes and spatial concepts.
CMO_Abbott says:
::perks up at the mention of horseback::
EO_Ivanova says:
:::running scans of the warp drive::
Host Trakar says:
All: We have found references to what appear to be black holes and even warp theory in some of the writings we have managed to acquire without their knowing.
Host Trakar says:
This is contradicted by the fact that we have not seen any technology related to space exploration any more complex then a 20 power telescope that is most likely a child’s toy.
CNS_Cutter says:
::looks across the table and narrows her eyes as she starts counting her brother's visible nose hairs - before deciding that was gross and instead starts listening to the meeting stuff::
OPS_Lys says:
::Confused::  ~~~~CSO: I do not understand.  Why should that be amazing?~~~~
CIV_Madison says:
::gets up and walks the perimeter of the bridge to stretch her legs, stopping by the replicator for some tea on her way back to the Science station.
Host Trakar says:
::looks over the group to see if there are any questions::
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Just curious sir... how did you "acquire" their writings without their knowledge?
Host CSO_Lys says:
::rapt attention now:: Trakar: Then this most likely is not an example of spontaneous discovery. 
Host CO_Skye says:
::folds her hands together her attention still on the speaker.::
Host CSO_Lys says:
~~~ OPS: Scientific discovery is like building a tower of blocks.  You need the fundamental foundations before you can continue on to the higher and more advanced levels. ~~~
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Are you saying there might have been a contaminator? Someone that gave them this information and technology?
Host Trakar says:
::nods at the CSO and turns to the CTO: We have maintained a blind on the planet for the last 5 years. We have scrupulously maintained a no contact policy but we have taken advantage of every opportunity to learn about them.
Host Trakar says:
CEO: That is indeed one of the theories
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: So we are here why?
Host CSO_Lys says:
Trakar:  I would be interested in reviewing some of your data, if that would be permissible.
Host Trakar says:
CO: That will become clear as I continue....
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Odd that this blind isn't mentioned in the Federation security records....
CNS_Cutter says:
::groans inwardly.  He wasn't done!::
Host Trakar says:
CSO: certainly... I would expect no less... I will make the files available following the briefing
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: I'd prefer it becomes clear sooner than later.
Host CSO_Lys says:
::nods::
Host Trakar says:
CTO: It is in the records... perhaps they didn't feel your rank justified your knowledge of it.
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  ::smiles::  Perhaps.  I doubt it, but perhaps.
Host Trakar says:
CO: I will attempt to be concise.
Host CO_Skye says:
::Nods at the Scientist.::
Host CO_Skye says:
::If he says that the women of this ship were chosen because we can behave primitively, I will not be pleased.::
CIV_Madison says:
::pulls up some reading on negative-g polarity fields and their effects on subspace geometry::
Host Trakar says:
:Continues: They use little more mechanical devises then you would have found on your southern America continent during the mid 1500s.
Host Trakar says:
They do appear to have highly developed metallurgical skills. We ran a thorough analysis of an ornate sword one of then had lost and discovered trace duranium in the alloy.
CEO_Davidson says:
Self: That’s not right.
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: Amazons?
Host Trakar says:
Normally at this point we would infiltrate their society. We have come to believe that we would be unable to do so undetected.
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Gee.... tough to picture a primitive Vulcan?
Host Trakar says:
CO: they do resemble those mythical denizens of your planet is some ways I believe.
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: Not my planet, but Earth, yes.
Host Trakar says:
Although we normally find matriarchies to be mild mannered, these people are quite war like and are ruled by their emotions. Therefore, it will be you job to live among them and relay your findings to us.
Host CSO_Lys says:
::gives the CTO a look, thinking he is getting a bit too impetuous with their guest::
EO_Ivanova says:
::running routine scans on eps grids::
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Your using us as guinea pigs?
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: You expect US to live among them?
Host Trakar says:
::looks somewhat startled:: CO: Captain I apologize if I have offended you.
CTO_Cutter says:
::Blandly returns the CSO's look.  Made a mental note to buy that boy a sense of humor::
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: Well common courtesy would have dictated you told this before.......
CNS_Cutter says:
::wonders exactly what a Warrior Woman would wear... and did it chafe?::
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: Some of us have other considerations.....like family.
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  Excuse me, but who exactly are you picturing "living" with the locals and who's going to run the ship?
Host Trakar says:
CO: Indeed that is the intent. I am thinking a small family unit of no more then Four... perhaps a husband and wife traveling with a cousin and a niece? I will remain with the rest of my team in the blind we have built near one of the main villages.
CEO_Davidson says:
::starts to get a little interested. Always liked Covert Ops:: Trakar: How long would we live there?
Host CO_Skye says:
::Looks around her senior staff.:: All: Well that doesn't leave a whole lot of options....
Host Trakar says:
CTO: I believe that would be your captains decision...
CMO_Abbott says:
::ducks down slightly in hopes not to be chosen::
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  ::nods::  Right...  I was concerned you wanted the entire senior staff to move down there.
Host Trakar says:
CEO: At this time we are limiting the contact.... no more then 3 weeks.
CNS_Cutter says:
CTO: nah... just you, oh-expendable-one
Host CSO_Lys says:
::looks to the Captain to watch her considering the situation::
OPS_Lys says:
::Looks at her husband and the others, as they were the only couple here.::
CIV_Madison says:
::gets bored and pulls up the latest letters from home that she hasn't gotten to yet::
CTO_Cutter says:
::rolls his eyes at the CNS::
Host Trakar says:
CO: You are aware that the men in this party would have to be subservient to the women....
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: I am aware.......though I have a feeling that my CTO would not approve of not being sent for security reasons.......somehow I can't picture him as subservient.
CMO_Abbott says:
::places her hand over her mouth to stile a snicker at Trakar's comment::
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  I like the way you think ma’am.
Host CO_Skye says:
CTO: I figured you would.....
Host Trakar says:
CO: I do have some recordings of the local costumes. ::brings up some pictures::
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: Do you think you can be.......a strong woman who can order men around?
CTO_Cutter says:
::begins laughing at the lack of cloth in the costumes::
CTO_Cutter says:
CNS:  Sis!  The think with just threads....  it's you!!!
CNS_Cutter says:
::eyebrows into her hair line:: Trakar/everyone: Oh I don't think so!  where is the actual material? !?
Host CO_Skye says:
CTO: Mr. Cutter......I suggest you stop laughing unless you'd like to wear one.
CEO_Davidson says:
::looks at the pictures:: CO/Trakar: I would like to get a closer look at the warp theory you said they have.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  ::stifles the laugh... working on the grin::  Shutting up ma’am.
CNS_Cutter says:
All: Um.. it seems a bit... well... drafty.  Someone will get a cold!
OPS_Lys says:
::Her eyes widen at the captain as she realizes she is being addressed.::
CMO_Abbott says:
::jaw hits the floor when she sees how skimpy the costumes are and elbows the CNS:: CNS: Shh! Do you want us to get picked?
CTO_Cutter says:
CNS:  Oh no sis...  I think you'd look good in a string and loin cloth.
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: Coreena?
Host Trakar says:
CEO: The entire file will be available after the briefing
CNS_Cutter says:
CMO: Good point.  Shhhing now. ::mutters and then slips lower into her chair::
OPS_Lys says:
CO:  I am not sure I understand the question.  I am strong.  ::Looks at her husband::  Am I not?
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: That would be good...but I mean a closer look.
Host CSO_Lys says:
::nods silently smiling at his wife::
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: Strong, yes......but can you order your husband around like you've been doing it all your life?
OPS_Lys says:
CO:  I have been 'ordering around' my sister and brother.  Does that count?
Host Trakar says:
CEO: I do not understand.... all we have is a reference to it in one of their "books"
Host CO_Skye says:
OPS: If you think you can do it, you're on the list.
Host CO_Skye says:
CSO: You're going.
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Yes I know. But a reference could lead to tests. I would like to go. ::looks over at the Captain::
OPS_Lys says:
::Not sure she answered the captains question the way the captain might have wanted.::
Host CSO_Lys says:
::nods, the mission interesting, but not really his area of expertise.  Makes a note to speak with Lt. Phelps::
Host CO_Skye says:
CNS and CMO:  Unless either of your have serious objections, you will be going as well.
CMO_Abbott says:
::eyes widen and jaw drops::
CNS_Cutter says:
::jaw drops:: CO: I seriously object to my bits and pieces being on display like that!
CTO_Cutter says:
::Makes a choking noise and turns away quickly, his shoulders shaking::
Host CSO_Lys says:
::nods, the addition of the two doctors is perfect.  Both have skills that will be useful and both are female and will be able to better move through the society than he::
CNS_Cutter says:
::eyes narrow:: CO: But I'd feel safer if my brother was there... CTO and all...
CIV_Madison says:
::lets a yawn escape and quickly puts a hand to her mouth, looking around to make sure no one noticed::
CMO_Abbott says:
::eyes flare at the CTO and makes a mental note to do his physical the hard way::
Host CO_Skye says:
CNS: You are the resident Counselor......I won't order you to do it, but I am asking.
Host CO_Skye says:
CNS: Talan is the scientist...
CMO_Abbott says:
CO: I couldn't agree more, Sir. Kay is good at bossing him around....
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...I would like permission to go....I need a closer look at there technology. 
Host CO_Skye says:
CEO: I think the we need a scientist there more.
CNS_Cutter says:
CO: Oh for sure.  But there is always room for one more.
CTO_Cutter says:
::Laughs at the CNS::  CNS:  Why mistress...  it would be my honor to be your humble slave, but I believe the Captain has already said no.
OPS_Lys says:
~~~~CSO:  Why do the CMO and CNS object to going?~~~~
Host CO_Skye says:
CNS: Not being female dominated......
CNS_Cutter says:
CTO: Damn I hate you sometimes. ::sigh::
Host Trakar says:
CO: Oh... Captain... one more thing...
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: As you whish captain.
CNS_Cutter says:
CO: Oh, I'll dominate his fuzzy little butt. ::scowls:: CMO: Make sure you hurt him.  A lot.
Host CO_Skye says:
::Raises her eyebrow:: Trakar: yes?
Host CSO_Lys says:
~~~ OPS: I think they are just uncomfortable with the situation... customs, clothing. ~~~
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Captain...  it might be wise to have a security presence there.  I think I can play the part if you agree.  ::grins::
OPS_Lys says:
~~~~CSO:  I would think it would be interesting.~~~~
EO_Ivanova says:
::running diagnostics on the ship::
CNS_Cutter says:
CTO: If I die or end up in Keely fashion?  I'm gonna haunt you forever. ::shuts up after that::
CMO_Abbott says:
::grins:: CNS: I'm sure I'll have time for another physical before I go... either that or Vince Manning can do him... ::leans in to the CNS::... not that I'm sure he wouldn't mind... Vince thinks your brother is rather cute...
Host CO_Skye says:
CTO: I'm aware of your objection.......I think Talan can keep them safe.
Host Trakar says:
::hesitates a bit:: All: We have had some dificulties with our ships while in orbit. It seems that there is something in the system that affects the computer systems. We have thus far been unable to identify it.
CTO_Cutter says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CO:  He's a fine scientist...  but that's a little different than a security officer.
CNS_Cutter says:
CMO: Vince it is then.  I always say that Jayd can't have too many friends.
CMO_Abbott says:
::chuckles:: CNS: I can't wait to tell him....
CTO_Cutter says:
CNS:  ::smiles sweetly::  Shut up little sister... I'm trying to talk my way into proctecting your klutzy self.
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: How nice of you to let us know now.......I am in serious doubt over this mission.
Host CSO_Lys says:
~~~ OPS: It will definitely be interesting. ~~~
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: What you mean difficulties?
CNS_Cutter says:
CTO: I'm not... ::stops:: Um.  Right.  I am.  Shutting up now.
Host CO_Skye says:
CSO/OPS/CMO/CNS: You are going.......
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: You'll give every bit of information you have on the ship's difficulties to our CEO over there.......
Host CSO_Lys says:
CO: Captain, we could land a shuttle in one of the northern regions where it would simply be a voice command away in case of emergency.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Captain...  with respect, I would like it on the record that this mission requires a security presence and I am objecting to your decision not to send me.
Host CO_Skye says:
CTO: What part of so noted, do you not understand?  ::Stands, setting her palms on the table.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::uh oh's::
Host Trakar says:
CO: Of course Captain. The only details that have been kept secret are all pertaining to security and I assure you everything will be available in the files after the briefing.
CTO_Cutter says:
::eyes narrow::  CO:  I understand ma’am.  I'm just ensuring that we're all clear here.
Host CO_Skye says:
CSO: If you can do it while guaranteeing no one can find it, go ahead.
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: Then get them to the CEO immediately.
Host CO_Skye says:
CTO: We're all clear. ::Nods::
Host CO_Skye says:
CMO: Transponders all around before you leave.
CEO_Davidson says:
CSO:I have something that may be of use to you.
Host Trakar says:
CSO: Err... ::raises a finger::
CMO_Abbott says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Sir
CNS_Cutter says:
::eyes widen lots and lots, old family stories going around in her head::
Host CSO_Lys says:
::turns to the Vulcan::
OPS_Lys says:
::Looks at the Vulcan::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Lets out an audible sigh as she too turns her attention to Trakar.::
CEO_Davidson says:
::looks at the Scientist::
CMO_Abbott says:
::makes some notes on her data padd for the upcoming away mission::
EO_Ivanova says:
::runs some diagnostics on the sensors::
Host Trakar says:
CSO: That would be inadvisable... You will note in the files that we lost a shuttle on our first mission here. It seems that whatever affects the ships in orbit prevents any sort of complex computer technology from functioning on the surface. Simple electronics work fine. Transporting has been the only way we have found to get to the surface.
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: You have security on the planet in the blind?
CNS_Cutter says:
::mutters:: So no escape out when things get hairy... AND the transporters stop working
CTO_Cutter says:
CNS:  ::quietly::  You watch yourself baby sister...  Oh..  ::glances at the picture of the costumes::  Don't bend over either.
Host Trakar says:
CO: we do. Vulcan has assigned two officers. We have a total of seven counting myself.
CMO_Abbott says:
::taps her combadge::*Manning*: Vince, prepare four emergency transponders. We have an away team....
Host CSO_Lys says:
::curious::  Trakar: Then what is keeping your blind shielding from the inhabitants?  
Host CO_Skye says:
Trakar: I want you to give the team a way to contact them if they need to.
CNS_Cutter says:
CTO: So noted. ::just as quietly::  I'll try my best.
CTO_Cutter says:
::nods, still steaming at the CO::
Host CO_Skye says:
::Can feel the tempers flaring and sighs.::
CNS_Cutter says:
::a bit wild around the eyes::
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...if I may...i would like to get a head start on those plans to prevent the damage to the ship.
Host Trakar says:
CSO: The blind is constructed inside a granite rock face. We have no shielding to speak of. We do have strict no noise policies. Thus far it has not been an issue.
Host CO_Skye says:
CEO: Off with you.... ::Nods toward the door.::
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: I would like to talk to you about the problems as soon as possible. One other thing?
Host CSO_Lys says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Trakar:  I see
CMO_Abbott says:
::hands the CTO a padd unaware of the CTO's ire at the CO:: CTO: Don't forget your physical while I'm gone, Mr. Cutta. I'm sure my Chief medic will love meeting you... ::emphasis on the word love::
Host Trakar says:
CEO: Yes?
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Is this classified at all?
CTO_Cutter says:
Trakar:  ::In disbelief::  You mean...  you have a hollow rock and your only security is telling each other to shush?!?
Host Trakar says:
::Manages to not look too startled at the CEO's question:: CEO : Of course.
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar: Okay...then what am I supposed to tell my staff?
CTO_Cutter says:
CMO:  ::looks coldly at her::  ::quietly so only she can hear::  Have you ever wondered at the various places that padd might fit in the human body?  ::Gets his temper under control::  Just send the appointment to my quarters.
Host CO_Skye says:
All: If there is nothing further, you are all dismissed.
CNS_Cutter says:
::uh oh's again.  Her brother was beyond angry and it didn't bode well for anyone in his path::
Host Trakar says:
CTO: That is not our only security. There is no way for them to have access to the blind. The openings are far too small for them to enter. The only way in is by transporter although the have rigged explosives for an emergency exit. We have a main transporter in side along with a backup
Host CSO_Lys says:
::stands, his mind going through a hundred things that need to be done before they begin the mission... including training for the away mission participants::
CTO_Cutter says:
::Nods at Trakar, still thinking this seems like a rinky dink setup::
OPS_Lys says:
::Stands to join her husband.::
CEO_Davidson says:
Trakar :Well?
CMO_Abbott says:
::eyes narrow back:: CTO: Absolutely... I'm sure we'll find a few more after the exam.. ::squares her shoulders::... I just wanted to make sure you got the message... ::turns back to her padd casually, not letting on that she is second guessing her timing on informing him::
Host Trakar says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
