Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Goes to ease as the anthem ends::  All: at ease, please take your seats.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Moves forward extending her hand to the CNS:: CNS: Congratulations, Lieutenant.

CNS_Alana says:
Admiral: Thank you, Sir!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes seat::

OPS_Shirley says:
::Sits down::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sighs inwardly and takes her seat::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Takes his seat::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Takes his seat and motions for the Cadet to sit next to him::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Looks to the CO and nods.  Moves forward::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
All: Now, please give the Admiral your full attention.  ::Nods to the Admiral::

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns and walks back to her seat::

OPS_Shirley says:
::Looks up at the admiral::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Gives admiral his full attention::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns attention to the Admiral::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
All: Well, now that the ceremony is completed, we can get down to business.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Gives the second officer a puzzled look and then looks toward the Admiral.  Continues to guard the door::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
What I am about to divulge is classified information.  No one in this room is to admit to or speak of this information to anyone outside of those present.  ::Moves to the wall panel and taps the controls activating the display screen and clears her throat::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands next to her seat as Admiral begins speaking::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods to the Admiral and then scans the room quickly::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Turns to the Admiral::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Straightens his uniform and listens to the Admiral::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
ACTION: The image of four pink-colored crystals appears on the screen.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Turns to face the crew:: All: Argollian Crystals, a set of four very powerful crystals that date back one thousand years in Argollian history.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the pink crystals appear on the presentation screen::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks at the pretty crystals on the screen::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
During a time referred to as the Great Argollian War, the Argollians, a now extinct species developed a weapon of mass destruction so powerful it was said to have caused their extinction.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the crystal and then back to the Admiral::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Examines the crystals on the screen::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Frowns as she looks at the screen::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
After 200 years, an archeological expedition from Orlandria II uncovered the weapon intact among the ruins on Argolla Prime.  They transported the weapon back to their labs and studied it for approximately 7 years before dismantling it after confirming it was indeed a weapon of mass destruction.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
Over the next several years they sold off all the pieces of the weapon to various neighboring governments and sent the four crystals to a museum for display in their historical section.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
According to information obtained from the Orlandria government, the four crystals are harmless unless precisely inserted in a specific order into the fully assembled weapon.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the Captain and then waves his head over towards the Cadet standing at the door.  Then quickly turns his full attention back to the Admiral and starts making mental notes::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Thinks: A weapon?::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Walks around the table::  Two weeks ago the Orlandria government approached the Federation requesting their assistance in recovering the crystals, recently stolen from the museum.  During their investigation of the theft, it was discovered the other pieces of the weapon were also stolen from the governments that had originally purchased them.

CNS_Alana says:
::Starts making notes on the PADD laying on the table::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
In comparing the evidence of all the reported thefts it was discovered all had exhibited the same modus operandi pointing to a radical group known as the Order of Rameus.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Can already guess where this is going::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
This group is made up of radicals from several species.  Their numbers are well over 500 and growing. They are bent on overthrowing all governments who oppose their radical beliefs.  They are well armed and dangerous and should be approached with caution.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Eyes widen as she listens::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
More information is contained in these PADDs.  ::Picks up the stack of PADDs and walks around the room handing them to the crew::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes a PADD::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
Latest Starfleet intelligence reports indicate the crystals may be headed to Kootenai Station to be passed along to their contact in this sector.  Your major objective is to locate and confiscate the crystals.  If you are able, gather any and all information you can about the Order of Rameus.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nervously takes a PADD from the Admiral::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Takes a PADD from the Admiral, activates it and begins reading the data::

OPS_Shirley says:
::Takes the PADD::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Takes the PADD and examines the information::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears Rameus and thinks “Romulans” but continues to listen and watch the Admiral.  Takes the PADD given to him and looks it over::

CNS_Alana says:
::Takes the PADD as the Admiral passes it to her::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Raises hand::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Likes the challenge that the Admiral is presenting::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Hands a PADD to the Cadet and smiles.  Turns back to the crew:: All: Are there any questions?

CNS_Alana says:
::Reads information and immediately begins to think, that something like this could easily become a hostage situation::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hand still in air::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CSO and nods, then goes back to studying his PADD::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Reads the information, not knowing what to think::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Sees the CSO with his hand in the air:: CSO: Lieutenant?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Accepts the PADD, holding it behind him::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/Admiral: Do these people have the same goals as the old Terran terrorist group, Al-Qaeda?

CNS_Alana says:
::Raises Hand::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CSO: I'm sorry, Lieutenant, but I am not familiar with Al-Qaeda.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Al-who?  Feels totally lost::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/Admiral: It seems, if my history lessons serve me right, Al-Qaeda, led by Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden, were out to destroy the United States and make it an Islamic government.  It tried to procure nuclear weapons, but President George W. Bush's government and the U.S. Army were able to vanquish them in 2005.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Raises hand::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees the CNS and CTO, both with questions::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Listens as the CSO speaks:: CSO: Really?  I don't think the Order of Rameus is anything like this Osama bin Laden person however, they are out to destroy anyone who oppose their political views.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Nods to the CTO:: CTO: Commander, you have a question?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over the data on the PADD then turns to the CNS and CTO then to the Admiral::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Starts to raise her hand, but quickly puts it back down::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nods:: Admiral: Yes, Sir, two questions.  One, do we have any physical descriptions of this order?  Do they share a common insignia or hand signal or something?  And two, what are the political goals of the Order and by what means do we identify them?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods with a smile to the FCO, letting her know to ask her question::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods, as the CTO asked her question::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns to his PADD that he brought in and sends another note to FCO... "Steph: Ask questions if you have them."::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Sees the CEO smiling at her and attempts to return it, but it comes out more like a grimace::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps away at the PADD looking for more information about the weapon::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CTO: All the information you need is contained in the PADD's.  If you require further information beyond what is there, I suggest you access the database.  You will find references in the secured files, which I am sure you have security access codes for.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Jumps as her PADD starts beeping again and thinks it must be malfunctioning - quickly stops the beeping::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Nods to the CNS:: CNS: Counselor?

OPS_Shirley says:
::Looks over at the FCO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Motions to FCO to look at her PADD::

CNS_Alana says:
::Realizes that her question still may be contained in the database, but decides to ask any way::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the Admiral and then enters his Command codes and starts accessing information about the weapons construction.  He hopes to eliminate possible suspects by the materials and resources needed for the weapon::

CNS_Alana says:
CO/Admiral: It is not indicated here, but have there been any demands by the groups yet?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Tries to access the files on the PADD to see what the political views of the group are::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CNS: Not as yet.  We believe they are waiting until the weapon is fully activated.  The crystals are the only things left for them to obtain.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Admiral: Sir, is there any way to scan for these crystals?  Any specific patterns we can set our sensors to pick up on?

CNS_Alana says:
Admiral/CO: Then we have to find each of them, the groups and the crystals before they can get together.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks back over the data on the weapons construction and then the make up of the crystals.  Then formulates possible substitutes for the weapon::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CO: I believe so, Captain but I am not sure what exactly these crystals are composed of.  A bit of research by your CSO should reveal something.

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CNS: Yes.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears himself mentioned:: Admiral: You can count on me, Sir.

OPS_Shirley says:
::Raises hand:: Admiral: Will there be any other Starfleet personal in on this mission with us or only the Kootenai Crew?

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
OPS: Only the crew in this room, Lieutenant.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to his fellow Bajoran and smiles::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Thinks: That's me too... DANG!  Needs to finish his paper::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Can't seem to figure out the filing system and accesses information about the crystals instead::

CSO_Taliza says:
Admiral: Sir, do I have permission to involve my assistants, Ensign John B. Goode and CPO Susan Plenty?

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CSO: You may give them specific orders but you may not divulge information related to the mission.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stands up:: ALL: From my initial findings... ::Takes a deep breath:: this weapon is more powerful than we ourselves have in our arsenal. ::Looks sternly at the crew:: It's imperative that we do all we can do to retrieve the crystals.

CSO_Taliza says:
Admiral: So I can let them know what to research, but not why?

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
CSO: Yes.

CSO_Taliza says:
Admiral: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Admiral: It seems we have all the information we require, will there be anything else, Sir?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Wonders if someone should go undercover and pretend to be one of these radicals::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Looks to the CO:: CO: Nothing further.  I will leave you to your task.  Good luck to all of you.  ::Picks up her briefcase and heads for the door nodding to the Cadet::

CNS_Alana says:
::Wonders if an undercover mission will be done::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks at the CTO and thinks: He looks like a good candidate::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Follows the Admiral::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Stands as the Admiral exits::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Snaps to attention::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Begins thinking about all the ways to tackle the situation::

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
::Exits the Briefing Room and heads for the turbolift with the Cadet::

CNS_Alana says:
::Picks up both PADDs::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks at the FCO and thinks it must be tough for a young Ensign::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Waits for the Admiral to leave::  All: you have yours orders, dismissed!

Host Admiral_Trevor says:
