CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
:: checks the records of the ships power consumptions;:

CO_Marsland says:
::In her chair on the bridge::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Have any idea on why those ships were using so much weaponry?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checks the how the hulls were constructed::

CO_Marsland says:
::listens to the conversation going on::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain they had too powerful weapons for their ship’s size.

SO_Knight says:
CTO: Nah, not a clue. Probably bought 'em from underground connects; or they developed 'em 
fo' galactic conquest. ::Shrugs:: Who knows.

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Any ideas on why?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::In her chair on the bridge sitting enjoying the easy flow of operations from what 4 days ago 
was.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Most likely blockade running.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Pirate ships love to smuggle overpowered weapons might be able to let them take on smaller and medium sized capital ships

SO_Knight says:
CO: We're enterin' the Gerrell System, Cap'n.

CO_Marsland says:
::nods:: CTO: Understood.  Pirate ships are not known for common sense.

Action: LRS picks up life signs on the planet they are headed for.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Acknowledged

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Life signs on planet captain.

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: How many?

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
FCO: ETA Mr. Praw?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Enough for the ship's compliment

FCO Praw says:
 XO: Calculating Ma'am.

CO_Marsland says:
::nods::

FCO Praw says:
XO: 20 minutes.  What orbit would you like established once we arrive?

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Very well.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I recommend slightly larger orbit in cased there are any batteries on the planet.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
Praw: Your decision Mr. Praw.

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CO_Marsland says:
Praw: Go with the CTO's recommendation.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::notices no sign of weapons:: CO: No sign of weapons, captain.

FCO Praw says:
CO/CTO: I'll factor that in when the time comes. ::Smiles.::

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Thank you, Ensign

CO_Marsland says:
Praw: Agreed.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Anything else on sensors, Mr. Knight?

SO_Knight says:
::Looks over the scans:: CO/XO: Scans indicate minimal tech and simple housing.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Shouldn't have to worry about them taking over the ship.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Acknowledged.

CO_Marsland says:
::hears the CTO:: CTO: Don't count on it, Ensign.  We don't know what we're up against.

SO_Knight says:
CO: It's a class M planet. An awful lo' o' vegetation.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Analyze the technical abilities and report.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: So it's possible that the Dobbins crew has lived on the planet for the past year.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Any debris in the area?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Checking ::Scans for debris::

SO_Knight says:
::Clasps a carrot in his molars like a cigar:: CO: Possible, but don' count on it. Sans say that the technological level's mighty primitive.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Lack of technology doesn't mean lack of survival, Mr. Knight.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Can you determine based upon available data the approximate relevant technological evolution stage in comparison to the Federation?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::notices the ship technology:: XO: Houses are from the ship and planet.

SO_Knight says:
CO: Plus, I don't see any form o' long-range communication.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Most likely we found our survivors.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Maybe that's why it took a year to find them.

SO_Knight says:
CO: True, but you'd think that interplanetary travelers would be able to build tech that would be at least Iron Age level.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Maybe, maybe not, Mr. Knight.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign, can you say conclusively that the parts of the homes you are scanning are from a specific ship or just standard metals found in ships design?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: They appear to be from the ship itself.

FCO Praw says:
::Maneuvers ship into a slightly higher than standard orbit to avoid any possible hostiles from planet surface or recognition.:: XO/CO: We are in orbit now me' ladies.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: They are from the dobbin.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: How do you know Ensign?

CO_Marsland says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO:: Praw: Me’ ladies?  Is that how you address superior officers, Mr. Praw?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Some of the metals are specific to federation engine design.

SO_Knight says:
Self: They thought me callin' 'em Love was bad.

CO_Marsland says:
Praw: But thank you for the report.

FCO Praw says:
::Turns red in the face.:: CO: Captain, my apologies it sort of is a cultural heritage thing.  I meant no disrespect.

CO_Marsland says:
Praw: Very well, watch yourself in the future, though.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Can you confirm the CTO's findings, Lieutenant?

FCO Praw says:
::Nods and turns back to his station head down not believing he just did something like that here on the Bridge and to the CO and XO no less!::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
Self:: Does a light laugh::

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Something funny, Ensign?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Nothing Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: So Ensign you have confirmed the materials are of Starfleet design however you have not provided any evidence that those metals are indeed those of the Dobbin.

SO_Knight says:
CO: Scannin'... Aye, ma'am. I can confirm. Duranium and other highly industrialized alloys are present in the houses' construct.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Checking commander.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: That's not even industrial age level of metallurgy.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks at the CO and raises an eyebrow at  her almost wanting to ask a question but not actually doing so at this time.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Everything so far appears to be on the dobbin.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Yes, Commander?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Dobbin's stuff is also not native ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Stands from her chair and turns to face the CTO.:: CTO: Ensign Ivanova, everything. Please give one thing that makes it exclusively the Dobbin.

SO_Knight says:
CTO: I didn't mean they were of industrial age, but in order to build a space vessel, one'd hafta refine metals and other materials, ergo, industrialized.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Latinized duridian is a unique thing to the Dobbin only.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Easy Commander.  They are trying.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Sits down in her chair and faces the view screen.:: CTO: Thank you Ensign. Next time, be more precise.  Can you place the settlement on the viewer?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: I can do that Ma'am.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::puts settlement on viewer::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks at the settlement on the viewer gathering visual information.::

CO_Marsland says:
::looks at the settlement on the viewer::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::notices the green::

Action: The viewer show a group of small houses most of which are covered with vegetation.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: What types of life signs are you reading?

CO_Marsland says:
All: Looks cozy

SO_Knight says:
All: Not gonna find a numbah on them shingles.

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Not likely, Lieutenant, that's for sure.

FCO Praw says:
All: Looks like a jungle. ::Giggles at a childhood memory regarding jungles.::

SO_Knight says:
::Deeps scans with the bio settings::

SO_Knight says:
XO: Humanoids. Many different races. Most match the Dobbin's personnel.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Any communications signals being transmitted from the surface Ensign?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Checking.

Action: The viewer also shows many fields of bright red flowers around the group of houses.

CO_Marsland says:
All: At least they've made good use of what they had.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: How many and can you determine the states of their health?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: None at all ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Is there any communication equipment on the surface which would be capable of receiving a signal of some type from us?/

SO_Knight says:
XO: They all seem pretty healthy from these collective scans. There appear to be at least 243 people as far as I can tell.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Are they all within this general settlement area?

CO_Marsland says:
SO: Any animal life?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Haven't  detected anything yet

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: no communications at all.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO/CTO: Determine overall safety for a landing party.

SO_Knight says:
XO: There are no lower life forms on scans. As for the populace, they seem to be in the general area of the settlement.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Red flower patch ma'am seems the best.

CO_Marsland says:
CTO: Scan the flower patch, make sure it's not something poisonous.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Have you ascertained any potential threats from the general vegetation?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Yes ma'am

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::scans vegetation::

SO_Knight says:
XO: Seems that the risk is minimal to nil. According t' me scans, the plant life has no adverse effect on the Dobbin's crew, I figure we'd react t' it th' same, so I see no danger.

CO_Marsland says:
SO/CTO/XO: Sounds good enough for me.  Commander, prepare a landing party.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CO: Captain based upon current data agreed.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
SO: Have some research cataloguers meet us in the Transporter Room. CTO: A minimal security contingent.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Notifies Sickbay to have a few representatives available should the need arise.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Understood ma’am.

SO_Knight says:
::Calls up a couple of researchers::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::assigns some security forces::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Looks to the Captain.:: CO: Captain if you will excuse me.  I will contact you once we are down and report as needed.

CO_Marsland says:
XO: Yes, go ahead.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Taking the Medkit from under her chair and slinging it over her shoulder along with her standard Away Team gear kit heads for the TL.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: I am going to assemble my security ma'am

CO_Marsland says:
::sits back in her chair and awaits the AT’s report::

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Orders the TL to the Transporter Room.::

SO_Knight says:
::Enters the TR with a tricorder and science kit::
