Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude:  All power, including communications and with the exception of life support and artificial gravity on the station and ships docked at the station is still offline.   The disappearance of all children under the age of 12 has not yet been reported.

Captain Pavielion has just entered Operations from a Jeffries tube hatch and Admiral Mitchell is trapped inside a turbolift on the Seahawk.

MO Sovok, not quite recovered from his fainting episode on Deck 16 is trying his best to stumble out of the Infirmary to help others in need.

CNS West is with Captain Ware and trying to keep the station's patrons calm during the power outage.

CEO Corjet is in Main Engineering aboard the Seahawk rushing from console to console trying to get the power back online and shouting orders to his engineers.  He is beginning to worry as there has been no response from the Nursery on his inquiry regarding the status of his children.

CMO Dr. Tae is standing at Docking Bay 2 in the dark waiting for the power to come back online and sensing the “loss” of her daughter Nazrin.

XO Kerst is in Operations trying to find out what happened.

OPS Danforth has just returned to Operations from Docking Bay 2.

CSO Taliza was pushing his new subatomic scanner to the Science Lab when the power went offline and is now somewhere between Docking Bay 2 and the Science Lab.

::Wanders down the hallway, wondering how many people realize what has happened::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Searching COM traffic for any discernable patterns::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turbolift stops at operations, exits:: CO: Sir?  What's happening?

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks around for Kara, sees her further down the corridor:: Kara: Kara!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Bailey: Please bring the station to yellow alert and have personnel report to the Erie and prepare her for launch if we need her.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
COM: Kootenai: CO: Acknowledged.  I will send additional teams from the Seahawk to assist in the search.  ::Looks around at the empty Bridge and raises an eyebrow::  That is, if I can find them.  Mitchell, out.

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at Sovok and almost starts crying::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Lieutenant, take your station.  I want to know what happened.  Several children are missing, see if you can locate them as well or find out what happened to them.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> CO: Aye, Sir, right away!  ::Taps console activating the yellow alert and recalls the Erie crew to their stations::

MO_Sovok says:
::Runs up to her and looks into her eyes:: CMO: Kara... What’s wrong?  What’s going on?

CMO_Tae says:
MO: She's gone, just gone.  I don't know what happened.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Missing?  Yes, Sir!  Goode: Man science two and take a look at all sensor logs from the last two hours!

MO_Sovok says:
::Puts his arms on her shoulders:: CMO: Who’s gone?  What’s going on?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CMO/MO* Until we have time to deal with it, make sure deck 16 is sealed off and all personnel are evacuated.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes science one and makes an internal sweep::

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *CO* Yes, Sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Brings the station to yellow alert::

CMO_Tae says:
::Tears fall down her cheeks::  MO: Nazrin's gone.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
COM: All Seahawk Personnel: This is Admiral Mitchell, Commanding Officer of the USS Seahawk.  All Seahawk crew are to assist station crew in searching for the missing children.  Please report to Station Security for your assignments.  Mitchell, out.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at her and doesn't know what to say:: CMO: H... How?!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Once finished, use internal sensors and try to find any transporter signatures that may have been left over if the children were beamed away.

CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> ::Takes science two and attempts to pull up sensor logs for the last two hours::

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I don't know!

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: Does anyone else know?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: All Seahawk crew begin to move towards Station Security for their assignments.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I don't know that either.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: Come with me... Lets go seal off deck 16... Then we'll get back to the more important matter at hand.. ::Offers her his hand::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Searches for transporter signatures::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Finds something::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Lieutenant, are there any recent warp trial signatures that might indicate a rapidly departing vessel?

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir?  I think you need to look at this.

CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> CSO: Sir, sensor logs detected unauthorized transports from the nursery and other parts of the station and the docked ships just after the power went off line.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over::  OPS: What do you have, Commander?

CMO_Tae says:
::Takes his hand::  MO: I can't believe this is happening ....

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Takes a quick look around the Bridge of the Seahawk and into the Ready Room then exits the Bridge into the turbolift:: Deck 7.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'll take a look, Sir.  Mr. Goode just found unauthorized transporter signatures from the nursery and other parts of the station, along with the docked ships, just after power went off line.

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: She'll be okay. ::Squeezes her hand and begins to walk back to the turbolift::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Changes sensor sweeps from internal to external, focusing on ion or warp trails::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, there is a lot of COM traffic about missing children from the station and the ships in dock...and...

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I don't know that though!!!  I don't know where she is or if she's okay!

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sensors detect an unauthorized transport from the nursery and other parts of the station.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Acknowledged  ::Turns to CSO::  CSO: Lieutenant, find where those children were transported, and trace any warp signatures coming from that area.

MO_Sovok says:
::Turns around and looks her in the eye:: CMO: Kara, she will  be okay.

CMO_Tae says:
MO: I hope you're right ....

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Inform all senior personnel to prepare for direct transport to the Erie, as soon as the CSO locates a warp trial.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: I'll bring her back on my own if that’s what it takes.. ::Begins to walk again and enters the turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

OPS_Danforth says:
COM: Senior officers, prepare for transport to the Erie.  Stand by.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I just found warp trails heading 215 mark 098.  It was located about 1 km outside the station and left the sector in a really big hurry.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Exits the docking hatch and rushes across the gangway into the airlock::

MO_Sovok says:
Computer: Disregard previous order and halt turbolift.

CMO_Tae says:
::Stays silent and stares at the wall::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Admiral* Sir, we will be departing the station in pursuit of an alien vessel.  You will be in command of Kootenai until we return.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I can't get a fix as to what it was.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Beam me there now and I'll start prepping for departure!

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: Kara... I love her as much as you do.. ::Squeezes her hand softly::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Beaming the XO to the Erie::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Beam all senior personnel directly to the Erie now.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Exits the airlock headed for the turbolift:: *CO* Acknowledged, Captain, good luck.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins beaming procedure::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'm transmitting that course to the flight control station on the Erie.

XO_Kerst says:
::Materializes on Bridge of Erie::

MO_Sovok says:
::Feels himself being dematerialized and holds onto Kara's hand::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: All senior staff is simultaneously transported to the Erie.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods and awaits transport::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Enters turbolift:: Deck 1!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Finds self in the Erie's transporter room, exits and makes way to Bridge::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around the Bridge::  OPS: Seal all docking ports and launch the ship ::Turns to the XO::  XO: Commander, take tactical and bring the Erie to red alert.

XO_Kerst says:
Computer: Begin emergency preflight sequence Delta 1. Authorization Kerst 59245 Delta

OPS_Danforth says:
::Beams aboard the Erie and fins himself at the OPS station::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Exits the turbolift into Ops and takes the Command Chair once again::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Begins all procedures for launch and seals all ports::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters Bridge and takes science station::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Preflight Started. We should be able to be underway shortly.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, we're ready to depart.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
Ops FCO: Prepare to clear the Erie for emergency departure.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CMO* Prepare Sickbay for casualties  *MO* Report to the Bridge immediately.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks off the pad and looks up at Kara and looks down at his COM badge, the one Nazrin had stolen just yesterday.  Taps it again:: CO: On my way.  ::Glances over at Kara one more time and walks briskly out of the Transporter room::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ops FCO> Admiral: Aye, Sir!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Acknowledged, once you have clearance launch the Erie with full docking thrusters until we clear the outer markers, then punch it up to maximum warp in pursuit of that ion trial.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Clear us for departure with the Station.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: All sensors on line.  I'm locating the trail now.

CMO_Tae says:
::Snaps herself back to reality and heads for Sickbay::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks down the hallway and enters the turbolift:: Computer: Deck 1.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, I recommend we red alert.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Get a solid lock and send that trial to flight control.

OPS_Danforth says:
COM: Kootenai: Kootenai Station, this is the Erie.  Requesting clearance to depart.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Standing at the tactical station on the Bridge of the Erie:: CO: Tactical systems functioning within Starfleet parameters and ready for departure, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and steps out, looking around:: CO: Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Turns::  MO: You have taken flight control at the Academy, correct?  Please take the helm and prepare to take the ship out.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Got it.  Starting from 1 km off the station and heading 215 mark 098.  MO: I'm sending you the coordinates.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the CO and tries to clear his mind from thoughts of what’s been going on.  Walks over to the helm and sits down:: Self: Okay, let’s see here.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<FCO> COM: Erie: OPS: You are cleared for launch.  Good luck.

CMO_Tae says:
::Walks into sickbay and begins preparing for casualties, mechanically going through every step::

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the words of the CSO::

OPS_Danforth says:
COM: Kootenai: Ops FCO: Thank you, Erie out.  CO: Sir, we have clearance to launch.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the clearance::  MO: Docking thrusters until we clear the outer markers, then set a pursuit course from the data the CSO sent and punch it up to maximum warp.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ops FCO> ::Turns to the Admiral:: Admiral: The Erie is ready to launch, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
Bailey: Ready shields and weapons.

MO_Sovok says:
CO: Aye, Aye, Sir. ::Engages the thrusters and brings the ship out on manual::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stops for a second, remembers the Captain's saying::  MO: By the way, no scratches.  ::Grins::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
Ops FCO: Acknowledged.  ::Sighs and reads the security reports on the missing children on her terminal::

MO_Sovok says:
::Grins:: CO: I'll try, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: What's your plan when we catch up to them.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: We will hail them and ask them to return the children, though I doubt they will.  You will need to disable their shield generators so we can beam the children off without harming anyone.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> XO: Shield and weapons systems are ready, Sir.

MO_Sovok says:
CO: Outer markers in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Engaging at warp 9.975.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Run full diagnostics on all systems and make sure shields and weapons have top power priority.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie jumps to warp as she clears the outer markers.

XO_Kerst says:
Bailey: We'll need pinpoint shooting. We'll want to disable them, not destroy.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Keeps an eye on sensors in case of course changes::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Growls and grumbles:: XO: Aye, Sir!  Don't you worry, Sir, I can handle it!  ::Stands straight::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Running shields and weapons power distribution::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Is that vessel on sensors?

XO_Kerst says:
CO: IF we need a boarding party, I'll take, Danforth, Diaz, and Dr. Tae with me in a quick snatch and grab.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Not yet, Sir, but the trail is getting clearer.  They have a very big lead on us.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Acknowledged, but to get a boarding party over their shields will be down, so unless the children are in a separate shielded area, we will not have to worry about that.

CNS_West says:
::Walking up next to XO Kerst::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Try to establish contact with any Federation vessels that may be ahead of the vessel.  Perhaps someone can slow them down and give us time to catch up.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: We'll need to be prepared. just in case. ::Notices CNS::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to monitor sensors for course changes and/or if the vessel comes onto sensors::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_West says:
XO: Where can I be of help to you at this point in the mission, Sir?

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Tell me, what kind of people kidnap children?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Overhears the order:: CO: You mean we can try to roadblock this guy?

CNS_West says:
XO: People that are afraid of something.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, scans indicate that no ships are in the path of the vessel.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: If any vessels up ahead can slow or stop them we will catch up faster and eliminate any chance of them getting away.

CNS_West says:
XO: And they want something themselves.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Course change!

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, you've got maximum power to shields and to weapons.  I'm working with engineering to bolster power to both.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Trail is now heading 145 mark 105.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Your opinion on if we’ll be able to negotiate with them for the kids release or do you expect force will be necessary?

MO_Sovok says:
::Hears the CSO And adjusts his course::

MO_Sovok says:
CO: I've got the course change, Sir.

CNS_West says:
XO: Perhaps something that they cannot have.  In this case have you considered that they may want the children?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees the CNS::  CNS: Ah, counselor, I know this is not your forte, but our engineering staff is stretched to the bone, please take the engineering console and monitor the ship's condition.

CSO_Taliza says:
MO: I guess I'll feed the change to you.

CMO_Tae says:
::Sits down on a biobed and stares down at the floor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Acknowledged, follow the trail.

CNS_West says:
CO: Aye Sir, I will do my best.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: IF they want them for themselves, they will likely die before giving them back up?

MO_Sovok says:
::Doubts his extremely limited abilities can do anything... But gives it a try and reaches out with his mind to try and comfort Kara::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Acknowledged, boast shields around the transporters, we cannot have them go off-line in a firefight, though hopefully we can avoid one.

CNS_West says:
::Looking back at XO::  XO: Perhaps we should try to negotiate, finding out what they really want first, but using force first would not be a good Idea.  ::Sits at Engineering console::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Any indication to the size of the vessel?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  I have a vessel on long-range sensors, distance... ::Calculates:: 100 AUs.

CNS_West says:
XO:  Using force just might push them over the edge, Sir

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  Shields boosted.  Power siphoned from unnecessary areas.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Acknowledged, try to get as much data on the vessel, its size, shield strength, and weapon capabilities before we come in contact.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel is at high warp however the Erie is faster and slowly closes the gap.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: We'll try to avoid it if possible. But they took something very precious to us and we will get them back!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Can you put the vessel on the viewscreen?

CNS_West says:
::Begins tapping at monitor station::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, the vessel is the size of a Galaxy class vessel, but of an unknown origin.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Galaxy size?  Any data on shield or weapon strength?

CNS_West says:
XO:  I know what you mean, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Hopefully she's not armed like a Galaxy class ship, or we're in trouble.

CMO_Tae says:
::Closes her eyes and sighs, knowing Sovok was trying to comfort her, but it really didn't do much good::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Too far away to get a solid reading, Sir.

CNS_West says:
CO: All systems are running normal, Sir,

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Agreed, we will have to rely on our speed and maneuverability.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to put the vessel's physical characteristics into the computer for possible matches::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Erie slowly closes the gap however is still too far out to detect any kind of usable information from the scans.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Acknowledged, prepare damage teams.

XO_Kerst says:
Bailey: Any Other Federation ships in the area that might be able to help us?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Open a COM channel.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> XO: Negative, Commander.

MO_Sovok says:
CO: I know it seems quaint, Sir but what about an attempt at the Picard Maneuver?

CNS_West says:
::Sends messages to engineering to prepare damage teams for availability::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Opens a COM channel::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Puts the image on the viewscreen, but its very small::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, so far, it seems to be of a saucer-shaped vessel.  It's still too far away to get a match from the database.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
COM: Alien Vessel:  Alien vessel, you are in violation of Federation space and law.  You have kidnapped several Federation citizens and are holding them against their will.  Identify yourself and state your intentions.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response to the hails.

XO_Kerst says:
::Waits for a reply::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks hard at the screen and worries about the safety of the children::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Guess they don't want to talk.

MO_Sovok says:
::Tries to gradually increase their speed... Trying to get every bit out of the Erie::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Depending on the punch this ship packs, we will have to rely on our speed and maneuverability, so we may need to use every card in the bag.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Perhaps a photon torpedo across their bow will get them talking?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Continue to repeat the hail on all frequencies.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Continues hail::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel begins to slow down a bit.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods, agreeing with the XO::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, the hostile is slowing.

CNS_West says:
::Nodding at that last thought::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We're within 60 AU.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Perhaps, but I we must be cautious with the children onboard.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We're now within 50 AU and closing.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: That's why I said across the bow and not up the tail pipe. I recommend we go after the engineers first if we get in a firefight. That will help maximize are speed advantage.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Once the ship drops out of warp, go to impulse and bring us to just within weapons range, though be prepared to dodge any fire they may throw at the Erie.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: 40 AU and closing!

CNS_West says:
CO: I suggest trying our best to communicate first and not taking hostile action unless it is clear that they intend to harm the children.

MO_Sovok says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins to slow the Erie back from the marginal gain it had past 9.975::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO/CNS: Acknowledged, if all goes well we will not have to so much as launch a firecracker.  OPS: any response to the hail?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  The hostile has changed course again.  It's going toward a small moon about a half-light year to port.

CNS_West says:
::Nodding::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: No, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: A base of some kind maybe?

CNS_West says:
::Looking again at monitor stations::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Set an intercept course.  Try to get between the vessel and the moon, if we have to set a roadblock then so be it.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Scan the moon for any signs of a base.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel approaches a small moon and establishes a standard orbit.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods and sets the course:: CO: Course set, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye Sir.  ::Scans the moon::  CO/XO: The hostile has established orbit.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Perhaps.  Scan for weapons signatures on the moon.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Can you detect the children onboard?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS? Are we in transporter range yet?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: One moment, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: If they transport down, we might be able to intercept them planet side.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Begins scanning the moon for defensive systems::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, sensors indicate there is a large, domed city in the northern sector of that moon.  That might be our base.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Agreed, we may need that away team after all if they beam down.

CNS_West says:
::Checking warp systems, finding them acceptable::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Sorry, Sir.  Not yet.

MO_Sovok says:
CO: Sir, Should I drop us out of warp into a full Impulse pursuit?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Sirs!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel begins to transport its "cargo" down to the domed city.

CNS_West says:
::Looking at system maps of the various  areas of engineering, in amazement::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Acknowledged and signs of the children?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: And how!

OPS_Danforth says:
XO/CO: ETA to transporter range, 10 minutes.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO; Report!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Too many children to count, and not just from Kootenai.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Yes, take the ship to full impulse and establish an orbit around that moon.

CNS_West says:
::Thinks: Wow, this is a bit confusing for even a CNS, but oh, well!::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> CO: Sir, sensors are picking up an unusual shield configuration around the dome.  Attempting to identify.

MO_Sovok says:
::Nods and follows orders::

CNS_West says:
CSO: More than the children from Kootenai?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: How many are we talking about?

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: Yes, Counselor, it seems we've discovered an interstellar kidnapping ring.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: What are you getting on weapons and shield systems from that ship and the base?

CNS_West says:
CO: I was right, they want only the children, we have got to find out why, now.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: About 500 children.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The vessel completes the transport of all of the children down to the domed city then breaks orbit and warps out of the area.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Not kidnapping, Slavery. You take children to train to be slaves.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Dig through the databanks and try to find all reports on large groups of missing children within the past few months.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Sir, the hostile has broken off orbit!

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the children have beamed down to the domed city on the surface!

CNS_West says:
::Covers her mouth to stifle "Oh My God"::

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks out the view screen praying that Nazrin and the others will be alright::

XO_Kerst says:
Bailey: Can we beam into that city?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
MO: Stay with the planet, we will send a report of the vessel to Starfleet Command.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'll do that search. ::Accesses LCARS for missing children reports::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> XO: I don't think so, Sir.  I have never seen this type of shield configuration before.  The computer is having a difficult time analyzing it.
