Star Trek: A Call To Duty – USS Huron
Season Six, Episode Twenty (Mission #234)
“Beyond Argonia II, Part 14”
Stardate 10503.19

Mission Summary:
The Huron Crew arrives at Argonia and have arranged for the transport of refugees.  SO Crystal Jewel is sent down to the planet’s surface to provide the FCO with better readings, while the rest of the ship’s crew report to their stations to begin the evacuation process.  Shuttles begin to bring in refugees who are overloaded with belongings, a problem EO Illianor must now deal with.  As the EO begins to address the refugees, the cargo bay fills with farm animals.  It is quickly explained to the EO that the refugees consider the farm animals as part of their family and refuse to be separated from them.  Simply put by EO Illianor and CIV Q’tor, there is only enough room on the ships for the refugees, and some small personal items.  Some of the refugees opt to beam back down to the planet with their animals until alternate arrangements can be made.  The crew continues the evacuation process.

USS Huron 10503.19

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SUMMARY:  The Huron is nearing its destination, and the tension is rising.  How is this going to turn out?  Will 5 ships be enough?

Host NightWind says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Leans up a little closer, to glance over the CIV's shoulder, watching his monitor, in ME.::

SO_Jewel says:
::Down in the main science lab, reviewing what each of them will be doing in the amount of time they had.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Walks the bridge.::  FCO Crasher:  ETA?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:In her office, her feet on the desk, a cup of coffee nearby.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Leaving her quarters to return to the bridge, after making sure Baby had plenty of food and water.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Sir, can I make a suggestion?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Pauses in his pacing.::  CTO: Shoot.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::After the short ride, she leaves the TL and enters the bridge.::

FCO_Crasher says:  
FCO:  ETA, 5 minutes, Sir.

CIV_Q`tor says:
EO:  I don't know that there would be a problem with the transporters running over time.  You are more aware of what they are capable of than I am.  But I would suggest having teams standing by for emergency repairs.  Just in case.

CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  What's up Boss?  ::Grinning as she stands next to him.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Assuming we'll be using the shuttles, I'd suggest that we have both a pilot and a second crew on board.  Second person can both make sure the pilot isn't...disturbed by the passengers, but they could also run an initial scan for pathogens.  Transporter Bio Filters obviously won't help the shuttles, after all.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  Waiting for Ec'Thel'Ion's idea.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Shrugs.::  CIV:  I'm sure there won't be a problem.  I just don't like the idea of having them run continuously at max capacity like that, Sir.  But I agree; I'll suggest it to Cmdr. Sparks immediately, that we have repair teams standing by.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Peeks out the glass window in the office so that she can check on Adahn and Q`tor.::  Self: Well, they're both still in once piece.....so far.  ::Smiles.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
EO:  Better safe than sorry.

CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Idea?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Sounds worthwhile.  Remember, that even though the transporters are going to work full-out, the shuttles can also beam people up.  Or will it rather be better to ferry people with the shuttles?

Host NightWind says:
SCENERY:  Slowly filling the screen is a world mostly green and brown.  In some areas bright light can be seen peeking through the crust.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Absent-mindedly starts to stare at the CIV's pronounced ridges.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  I know, Sir.  Just trying to prevent the kind of issue we ran the drill over.  People will enter the shuttles, and then enter the ship during transit.

SO_Jewel says:
::With a smile she dismisses her team.  A quick glance at the chronometer and she is out the door.::

FCO_Crasher says:
FCO:  We're at the Argonia system, Sir.  Standard orbit.  ::Goes through the motions to put the ship in orbit.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
EO:  I think we're as ready as..... ::notices the EO staring at his head.::  Is there something wrong, Lieutenant?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sips on her coffee and she reads over the reports from the last shift.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Checks to make sure he doesn't have something hanging from his head.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He blinks, and looks down, back to the CIV's eyes.::  CIV:  Oh, no, Sir.  Everything's fine.  Sorry.  Ah... yes, I can't think of anything else that needs to be done.  Now we wait.  Either the Huron comes through and the Argonians survive... or they'll all end up dead.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Turns and looks at the viewscreen.::  All:  Showtime people.

SO_Jewel says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, bridge.

CIV_Q`tor says:
EO:  I'm sure not all of them.  If you'll excuse me.

CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, do you want me down in one of the cargo bays, or up here?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Presses a button on the tactical console, opening a ship-wide channel.::  *ALL*:  All personnel, we have reached the world we are to help.  Everybody report to their duty stations.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Nods.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Closes the channel.::  CNS:  I think down in the arrivals area with the rest of your staff will be good.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Makes his way to the CEOs office and taps lightly on the door.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Downs the rest of her coffee and stands up taking another look out the window.::

SO_Jewel says:
::As the lift stops, she slips out and with a nod to a passing crewman, heads for her console and quickly logs in.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Flips him a salute.::  FCO:  You got it Boss!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  From our mission orders, I'd have expected less outward signs from the planet.  Travel paths from the Transporter Rooms and Shuttle Bays to the Cargo Holds and other refugee areas getting final sweep now.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*Marie*:  This is Randi.  I am on my way to your location.  I should be there in 3 minutes.

Marie says: 
CNS:  We are set and ready to go.  Hopefully we won't have that much business, if we get there in time.  Marie out.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.

Security Bee says: 
*CTO*:  Running sweep now, but so far everything looking like it should.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks toward the door and pulls it open.::  CIV:  Yes?

SO_Jewel says:
::Reads through the sensor logs and does a quick comparison to the previous data.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  See ya later, Boss!  ::Grinning, she leaves the bridge and enters the TL.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CEO:  Commander, we are ready.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Anyone give any thought to what happens when the first group gets to the planet?  Do we just dump them and go, or should we leave people to help them set up?

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  A message comes through from the Perseus.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CIV:  After you.  ::Motions him to lead the way.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*Repair Teams*:  We're approaching the planet; I expect you all to be ready to handle any problems with the transporters should they occur.  Most likely, you're going to be enjoying a very long and boring evening.  Cheers.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  To be honest, that thought hadn't crossed my mind.  We'll have two days in transit to figure it out.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Message coming in from the USS Perseus.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Walks down to the command circle.::  CTO:  On screen.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  It's a situation update, Sir.  They report that they are on schedule and should arrive in two hours.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks out of the office and over to Adahn.::  EO:  Report, please.

SO_Jewel says:
::Turns around.::  FCO:  Nothing has changed on the planet.  All seems to be in order.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  Very well.

Security Bee says:
*CTO*:  Everything is fine.  I told you this walk through was a waste of time.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SO:  Good news, I suppose.  ::Turns to Ec'Thel'Ion.:: 
CTO:  Inform the planet authorities that we are ready to start the evacuation.

SO_Jewel says:
FCO:  I should add according to sensors.  I don't know what is going on down below at a smaller level.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Bee*:  And I told you, better to waste the time when we have it then find out we don't.  We should be beaming people up within a few minutes.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Enters the cargo bay and walks over to Marie.::  Marie:  How are our staff distributed?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  All teams report ready; and if they're not, they will be if I have anything to do with it! We're as prepared as we can be, really.  I've got all backups confirmed active, now we're just waiting.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Marie begins to tell Randi where she has everyone situated.::  Marie:  Looks like you have everything covered.  Now let's hope we don't get much business.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SO:  Crystal, I want you and a small team to head down to the surface and get me better readings, please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles.::  EO:  Well done, Lieutenant.  Now you might want to be sure that everything in the cargo bay is ready.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Aye, Sir.
COM: Argonia Control:  This is the USS Huron to Argonia control, we have arrived in orbit and are at your disposal.  Are you ready to begin the evacuation?

SO_Jewel says:
::Smiles brightly.::  FCO:  Thank you, Sir.  We are ready.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  On my way.  ::Heads for the turbolift.::

SO_Jewel says:
::With a nod she turns her station over to another officer and is quickly out the door before the FCO changes his mind.::

Argonia Control says: 
@COM: Huron:  This is Argonia control, Huron.  Welcome to Argonia and thanks in advance.   Most of our population is ready for evacuation.  Uploading coordinates now.  We do, however, have one group that is unwilling to leave that we are still working on.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to Q`tor.::  CIV:  Well just you and me.  ::Smiles at him.::  Care to assist my staff with monitoring our systems?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO:  Argonia control reporting most are ready, but one group is unwilling to depart.

SO_Jewel says:
::On her way, informs the teams to head out, one team to meet her in the shuttle bay.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CEO:  My pleasure

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods.::  CTO:  I'll leave them to deal with it until the last.  It’s an internal problem.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  Roznine to Sparks.  Holly, are the systems all ready?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Understood.  Can I assign the Twins to assist Ensign Jewel?  They might be able to help, and I don't think I'll need hackers for our security.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Ushers him to a console.::  CIV:  So, tell me, will any family be....:: pauses.::  Excuse me.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Do that, who knows what can happen down there.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Turbolift:  Cargo Bay.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*SO*:  Ensign, I'm going to assign 10100 and 00101 to assist you in your survey.  They'll be in the Shuttlebay momentarily.

Host NightWind says:
Scenery:  Down on the planet, as people are informed of the Huron’s arrival, they begin hustling about as they remember last minute things and good-byes to be said... just in case.  Most have large piles of all their worldly goods, planning on taking them with them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  Everything is ready Roz.  All systems are operating at full capacity, and the crew are awaiting the order to begin.

SO_Jewel says:
*CTO*:  Thank you, Sir.  I will be heading the one using the shuttle.  The others will be ground base.  I am not sure which one you want to send them on.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Argonia Control:  This is Huron, message acknowledged.  Do you believe you can convince the last group to depart?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  Well, then we had better get started.  Monitor the transports from down there please, so you can shuffle around if needs be.  We'll watch from the bridge as well.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  Acknowledged. Sparks out.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*TR Chiefs*:  Roznine to transporter rooms.  Start at your discretion, gentlemen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CIV:  Well, I guess it's time to get to work.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Exits the turbolift and marches into the cargo bay, watching as people bustle about to get ready.::

SO_Jewel says:
::Entering the shuttle bay, she meets up with her team and climbs in toward the back while the pilot begins warming her up.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*SO*:  I'll have them base out of the shuttle.  They are really good with computers, so they could probably help you most there.  Will your teams be centralized or spread out?  If spread, I'll try and get a few more teams.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CEO:  That's what they say we're here for.

SO_Jewel says:
*CTO*:  Given the amount of time we have, they will be spread out.  The shuttle will be leaving as soon as they come aboard and we are given permission.

Argonia Control says:
@COM: Huron:  At this point, they simply believe that this is part of the natural process of things, and that the planet will settle within due time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CIV:  Please feel free to make yourself at home here.  Good people are always a pleasure to have around.  ::Smiles and moves off to another area of engineering.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Watches the monitor as the transporters begin transporting.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*Shuttle bay*:  Roznine to shuttlebay.  Launch the shuttles, pilots on rotation schedules as discussed.

SO_Jewel says:
::Nods to those on her team arriving and quickly setting up.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*SO*:  Okay, I'll get at least one Security with each.  Don't want to leave them to mob rule.  Also, have your teams armed please, in case those aren't enough.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Assigns one Sec to each Science team.::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The shuttles begin to leave the ship heading for the planet, following orders.

SO_Jewel says:
*CTO*:  Armed?  I will let them know, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Monitors the transporter systems carefully.::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  People begin to arrive with LOTS of material goods.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Security in place for Ensign Jewel's teams, but Argonia control reports the last group will not leave, thinking that planetary conditions will improve.

SO_Jewel says:
::Informs her teams they are to use phasers.  As the binars come aboard, she requests permission to leave.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CEO:  Transporters operating within normal parameters.  No problems to report.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  If needs be, we transport them out whether they want to go or not.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He walks past several teams, hearing soft groans and grumblings... as the first of the people begin to arrive... he watches, shocked by their baggage.::  
All:  No! No, no, no!  That's too much!
*FCO*:  Sir, we've a problem.  People are coming with far too much STUFF.

SO_Jewel says:
::Receiving permission, their shuttle joins the que of those heading down.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Q`tor.::  CIV:  Thanks for the update.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*:  Define too much, Lieutenant.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  One of the cargo holds are suddenly filled with farm animals.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
All:  Okay, everyone, listen up.  You're all going to keep one bag of stuff per person. Everything else, we're tossing.  Understood?  Good. 
*FCO*:  Sir... from what I'm seeing of the first few groups to be transported, we're going to have to spend, oh, I dunno, as an estimate, twice the amount of time or so?  That's a guess. But we have to tell them to-

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Stops, as he hears bleating...::  Self:  Oh, no...

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The people begin to argue with the EO.  This is after all, all that they have.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CIV:  Perhaps you'd prefer to head to the cargo bay and see if Lieutenant IIianor needs any help. I think I can spare you here for a while.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Get me Argonia ground control... and SFC too.  I think we'll need more ships.  Why couldn't they send colony ships to do this job?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
All:  ONE BAG!  Either the rest of your stinking garbage goes, or YOU go.  It's your choice.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CEO:  By your command.  ::Smiles over at the CEO as he heads off to the TL.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Establishes a joint Comm link with SF Command And Argonia Control.::  On Screen, Sir.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*FCO*:  We are losing control down here.  The cargo bay is home to a bunch of farm animals now.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*EO*:  I'm dealing with the situation now.  ::Thinks a moment:.: 
CTO:  Halt the transports for a short while until this gets sorted out.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Split on the screen appears an Argonian and a SF officer.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Lieutenant, how are things going down there?  Everything all right?

CIV_Q`tor says:
TL:  Main Cargo bay

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Transporter Chiefs*:  We're suspending Transport temporarily, please desist until further word comes.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Stands at the rear of the cargo bay, trying to keep a smile off her face.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  A goat is chewing on my uniform, Ma'am.

SO_Jewel says:
#::Last out the door, her shuttle quickly hits the atmosphere and they begin their work.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: GC & SFC:  Gentlemen, we have a problem.  The refugees are carting all their worldly possessions along, and frankly we don't have the space, not even on all 5 the ships.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Transporters go on stand by while the EO tries to deal with the various people who are starting to get upset.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  I'm sending Q`tor to give you a hand.  ::Raises an eyebrow.::  A what?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Leaves the turbo lift and heads over to the cargo bay entrance.::  Self:  What is that smell?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  Or something that looks like a goat... it has fangs... 
All:  I assure you, I'm quite- Who is the owner of this... THING?

Argnoia Control2 says: 
@COM: FCO:  We apologize for that, Sir.  We informed them of your request.  But I think it kind of grew and grew... you know... just one more thing as they will not be coming back.

Starfleet says:
%COM: FCO:  And you wish us to do what?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Do you require more security?  I can inform the CTO.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  That would be... good...

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Opens the cargo bay door and is stunned by the chaotic scene in front of him.::  EO: Guy'vatlh!  What is all of this?  I was under the impression we were evacuating people?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sighs.::  *CTO*:  Commander, we have a situation in the main cargo bay.  Can you send added security down?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CIV:  Evidently, the Argonians thought it was wise to KICK THEIR NEIGHBOURS OFF THE SHIP in order to transport their livestock.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: AGC:  Well, as understandable as it is, this will have to be changed.  Those up here already will have to decide what goes and what stays.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Heads over to pull the goat thing away from the EO.::

Rancher says: 
CIV:  We are, Sir.  We are.  These are my people.  Are they not lovely?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: SFC:  I do believe we will need more ships to deal with the situation, in fact, BIG ships.

Host NightWind says:
COM: Argonia Control:  We will tell them again, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Understood, I'll try and scrounge up a few more, but we're getting stretched as it is.  Let's hope we don't find any new needs for them, but they are on their way.  ::Dispatches reserves to Cargo Bay.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
Rancher:  You're people?  This is livestock!  It is nothing more than a walking menu!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: AGC:  Please try and make sure they actually do it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Do the Argonian's have any sublight transports available?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Continues to look on in amusement.::

Starfleet says:
%COM: FCO:  That is not possible... we have sent you as many ships as we can.  I will let them know of the situation and see if a few more can be sent.  However, if that is the case, it could be days before they arrive if not weeks.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: SFC:  Understood, but at this rate it will take us days, if not weeks to evacuate everybody.

Argonia Control2 says:
@COM: FCO:  There is a difference between do and try, Sir.  ::Suddenly looks very frazzled.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Monitors the systems again and then hands them over to Ensign Martin.::  Martin:  Take over here.  I'm going to check on what's happening in the transporter rooms.

CIV_Q`tor says:
Rancher:  We do NOT have the room, nor the resources to bring your livestock.  They must be returned to the planet surface.

Martin says: 
::Nods.::  CEO:  Aye, Commander.  You go ahead.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: AGC:  I understand, but please just try your best.

Starfleet says:
%COM: FCO:  I will let them know.  Might I suggest you take only necessities and we will send some cargo ships for the rest?  It will take about a month for those.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Whispers to the CIV.::  CIV:  Do you have a phaser?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Argonia Control:  Pardon me, Sir, but do you have any sublight vessels available?  They'd take decades to actually make the trip, but at least they could carry cargo and livestock and we could come back for them.

Rancher says:
CIV:  They are my family.  They cannot be left behind and that is final.  ::Takes a stance before the huge man and his family.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks out of main engineering and to the transporter room nearby.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Whispering.::  EO:  Are you suggesting that I vaporize them?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: SFC:  I'll relay the suggestion, but we'll have some hungry refugees if the planet blows before their stuff arrives.

Security Fred says: 
Cargo Bay Security:  Steady everyone, this is just like the drills... sort of.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Looks at the CIV.::  CIV: Yes.

Argonia Control2 says:
@COM: CTO:  We have two used for diplomatic relations.  Our... counterparts refuse to allow us anything more.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sees people coming out the room one after the other as she enters.::  TC:  Chief, any problems to speak of so far?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Growls and pulls his phaser pointing it at the nearest beast.::  CIV:  As you wish.

Security Fred says:
CIV:  Sir, that isn't a good idea!

Rancher says:
::Seeing what he thinks is about to happen, makes a dive in front of the animal.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM: AGC:  The best I can offer is for your people's livestock and goods remain here, until cargo transports can be relayed to move that in roughly a month's time.

Argonia Control2 says:
@COM: FCO:  You can?  That should work then... well, for many of them.  Thank you, Sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::The smile drops from Randi's face.::  CIV:  That is not authorized at this time.  I suggest you consult with the FCO before you do something you might regret.  ::Walking up to him, then staring up.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
COM:  AGC & SFC:  Thank you, then it is arranged.

TC says: 
CEO:  Well unless you consider the bawling of kids and the screaming of parents a problem, then no, Ma'am.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Trying to run through ideas and configurations in his head while keeping an eye on what's going on.::  Self:  Of all the problems, never guessed "too many animals" would top the list of potential problems.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::In very plain sight of the Rancher makes a show of setting his phaser to maximum.::  Rancher:  I give you a choice.  They stay behind or I make room for actual people.  ::Listens to Sec Fred and the CNS but holds his ground.::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The screen goes blank as both officials try to see what they can do.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Heaves a sigh of relief for the moment.::  CTO:  Tell the chiefs to resume transports.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Ushers a family down the corridor to a nearby room.::

Security Fred says:
*CTO*:  Uh, Sir, things may be getting more complicated again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sighs.::  Self:  Only how many more to go?

Rancher says:
::Shakes his head sadly.::  CIV:  Very well, we shall all return to the planet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Aye.
*TR Chiefs*:  Resume Transport, and cross your digits.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
Rancher:  Don't be stupid...

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Transport resumes...

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Powers down his phaser.::  Rancher:  You are welcome to stay, and I promise we will make every effort to evacuate your animals.  But this is a small ship and our first priority is to evacuate people.

Rancher says:
::Glares at the engineer and wraps his arms around one of his family members.::  He didn't mean it baby... he didn't... we will be fine.

Rancher says:
CIV:  I thank you, and will await it out.
