Stardate 10211.17: Captain's Log:  stile Showing a presence of the Federation in the negotiations with the House of Dector on Lagron III, The Nighthawk having received a Priority One Distress call, has had to leave the AT on the surface and answer the call in the Tohorn System.  Spreading our forces a little thin I have decided the crew of The Nighthawk can handle the assignment, feign as I have accepted this kind of responsibility prev
XO_Cmdr_Anderson 
First Officers Log: Stardate 10211.16, I have just received word from Captain West that the Nighthawk will be leaving orbit shortly, in the meanwhile the Away Team and I will continue to investigate why the Ambassadors on Lagron III are leaving without reason.

Host Biishe says:
<Shuttle pilot> ::Opens the door to see the FCO:  Sorry for the delay sir.  The commands on this shuttle are a bit different from the normal.  But I got her here safe and sound.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::smiles.::  Shuttle pilot:  Yes, she's got a mind of her own sometimes...
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Gets to the shuttle and waits behind the XO and FCO::
Host Biishe says:
@<Shuttle pilot> FCO:  She is all yours.  Do you have any specific orders?
Host CO_West says:
CEO: I would like to hash out a rescue plan with you, before we get to the shuttle's coordinates.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Runs some diagnostics on tactical systems::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@Shuttle pilot:  No.  Check with the XO before going back up.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Turns around:: CO: Aye, Captain.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: you got Mr. Anderson for me?
Host Biishe says:
@<shuttle pilot> FCO:  Sir, you wish me to take back the other shuttle?  ::Glances at the XO::  or remain here just in case.  The Nighthawk will be breaking orbit soon if it hasn't already.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@Shuttle pilot: You'll be taking the other shuttle back...the Nighthawk may need the shuttle
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Waits patiently, tapping her foot on the ground::
Host Biishe says:
@::Nods::  XO:  Yes sir.  Then I had best head out now or be following her all the way to Torhanm.
Host Biishe says:
@<Shuttle pilot>::Hops down from the Chameleon and hurries over to the other shuttle, quickly having it ready to head out.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::nods his head::  Shuttle pilot: Understood...

OPS: Thank you, Mr. Lessing.
Host CO_West says:
*XO*: Chris, You have everything you need ?
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Gets in the shuttle, stepping in front of the XO::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The shuttle quickly heads back to the ship.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: Aye Captain...though I would suggest that Lieutenant Keown go back aboard the Nighthawk, if you need him
Host CO_West says:
*XO*: Thank you Chris, We will return as soon as possible, Captain West out
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*FCO*: Stand by for transport.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO:  Good luck Lt...
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  What?    *OPS*:  What?!?
Host CO_West says:
OPS: As soon as we are underway, try making contact with the Shuttle in distress.
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The FCO is beamed aboard.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Ma'am!
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Taps his console:: *Main Engineering*: Prepare to baton down the hatches cause we are going to Warp 9.8.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The shuttle will be docking about...now.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: then there was 2...
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The shuttle lands in the shuttle bay as the shuttle bay doors close behind it.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::sees the FCO beamed away, and turns around to see the SO::  SO: Ensign Boxer...I know you've been shuttled around lately, but let me introduce myself.   I'm Cmdr Anderson, the Nighthawk's XO
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Relays the course he plotted in to the FCO's station::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Materializes in transporter room 1.  Growls at the transporter chief as he swiftly heads out of the TR.::
Host CO_West says:
CTO: I hope your trigger finger is happy today, we may have use for it.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: does Mr. Anderson have a first name?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Walks to the TL.  Enters.::  Computer:  Bridge!
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::smiles, and somehow reminds him of somebody::  SO: Chris...but only when off duty.  We've got about 25 km to go...so we should get in the Chameleon
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@: ::Nodes:: XO: Boxer, Lindsay Boxer  Lets get going ::Leads the way::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  An hour passes.  The AT arrives outside the back gates of the estate, while the Nighthawk, at maximum warp, is entering the Torhanm system.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Yellow alert?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
COMM: Damaged shuttle: This is the Federation Starship Nighthawk, can we be of assistance?
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Grumbles as her feet hurt:: XO: we're here...
Host CO_West says:
OPS: are we entering the Torhanm system yet?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Sitting at the helm.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.  We are.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Scans the system:: CO: Sir, everything seems quiet here.
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Yellow Alert!
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
CO:  ETA is 5 minutes.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
ALL: Yellow Alert.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::walks up to the gates::  SO: Ensign...can you detect another way in on your scanners that's not so "visible"?
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Takes out her tricorder and scans::
Host CO_West says:
OPS: anything from Shuttle?
Host Biishe says:
<Lt. Ryan> COMM:  Nighthawk, that ye can be.  Glad to hear from ye.  We have one injured, broken arm, but the rest of us be fine, if a bit weary.  Not to mention curious.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Slows the 'hawk to impulse as they enter the system.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
COMM: Lt. Ryan: What is your condition?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::awaits the SO's findings::
Host CO_West says:
CEO: I want to tractor the shuttle into the shuttle bay and bean the injured to SB.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Shall we beam them to sickbay?
Host CO_West says:
::Nods, toward OPS::
Host CO_West says:
CTO: It is too quiet,  continue scans.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CEO: Please let me know when your tractor beam is active, I don't want and out of control damaged shuttle around here.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: not really another way in.. all I can tell is that the estate is full of people, all Lagron, ::Tries to figure out what else the tricorder could do::
Host Biishe says:
<Lt. Ryan> COMM: OPS:  The shuttle is not in good shape.  And I doubt ye will be able to tractor it aboard.  It is covered with some odd growth.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Mutters angrily to himself (for the hundredth time this hour) about being called back to the ship.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Aye.  OPS: I'll activate the tractor in one second.
Host CO_West says:
*SB*:  Activate EMH, wounded are coming aboard.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CEO, CO: Before we attach a tractor beam, can we do more comprehensive scans on the hull of the shuttle... LT. Ryan informs me it has an "odd growth".
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: Sir, I have some additional information on the planet. It has a tropical environment, yet it is the furthest from its sun. It doesn't seem to be affected by this distance. It seems to regulate its temperature.
Host CO_West says:
::Hears muttering coming from FCO::  FCO: Is there something wrong?
Host CO_West says:
OPS: An Odd Growth?  Yes by all means further scans.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
CO:  No.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
OPS: Aye, tractor beam stopped.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Scans the ship with everything at his disposal::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@Self: Hmmm... ::looks at the estate trying to think of a way in::  SO: Keep trying...we have to find a way in there that won't attract attention
Host CO_West says:
CTO: The Planet regulates it own temperature?  Perhaps internal atmosphere.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: That is a possibility indeed. They have very odd scientific features here, it seems.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Ask Lt. Ryan if the shuttle has already been to the surface.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I cannot get an accurate reading on the growth, there is too much ionization present from it's engines.  I would suggest beaming the shuttle's crew to Sickbay, and sending over an away team, perhaps in Hazmat suits.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
COMM: Lt Ryan: Has you shuttle been to the surface of Torhan 11?
Host Biishe says:
<Lt. Ryan> ::Looks at his crew confused::  COMM:  OPS:  Been to the surface?  We be on the surface.
Host CO_West says:
::Looks over at CEO::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@SO: Could we transport in without them detecting us?
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Pokes random bottoms on her tricorder:: XO: sir, there are some empty rooms, we can just avoid being seen
Host CO_West says:
COMM: Lt. Ryan, This is Captain West of the USS Nighthawk, we are answering a distress call, we where not told you were on the planet, what has happened to you, there?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::nods his head:: SO/CMO: Ok...put on your commbadges with the bio signal dampeners and we'll transport into an empty room
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks back then walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Scan the planet.
Host Biishe says:
@<Lt. Ryan> COMM: CO:  Our shuttle ran into some difficulties as we were passing through.  We landed, a bit heavily.  Too much so for her to be space worthy.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: how do you do that...::Blushes::
Host CO_West says:
FCO: I guess you will have to take us into orbit .
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CEO: Aye sir. ::starts his scans::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
CO:  Aye.  ::Moves the ship into standard orbit around the planet.::
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::results come in:: CEO: Sir, the results are very inaccurate. this probably is due to the engine residue of the shuttle's engines.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: think I skipped that day at the academy..
Host CO_West says:
Comm: Lt. Ryan:  What difficulties?  you were not fired upon by any unknown vessel?
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CEO: I recommend going down there with an away team and investigate it.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::smiles at the Ensign:: SO: Sorry I forgot...::pulls out a new commbadge and hands it to the SO::  put this one on...and take your old one off.  ::taps the new commbadge:: *Chameleon*: 3 to beam to a room designated by SO Boxer
Host Biishe says:
<Lt. Ryan> COMM: CO:  No ma'am.  Just some engine problems.  We be grateful if ye could beam us aboard.  There is a cave not far from here that you should be able to beam us from.  However, you will probably need something else to get the shuttle aboard.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CTO: What is the conditions on the planet.  CO: The CTO has recommended we beam an AT down.
Host CO_West says:
COMM: Ryan: We have scans showing the shuttle is covered with a plant like substance, any idea of that it is?
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Nods:: XO: now what do I do with the old one ? ::Sends the Coordinates to an empty room::
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The AT is beamed into and empty bedroom on the second floor.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@SO: It'll be beamed back to the Chameleon....::is transported to an empty bedroom, pulls out his tricorder and scans for nearby Lagron::
Host Biishe says:
<Lt Ryan> COMM: CO:  That is what we find curious captain, as well as the oddity of the planet being tropical and so far from its mother sun.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CEO: Sir, apart from the growth, there's nothing unusual.
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@XO: isn't that my job...::Scan as well::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Sighs.::
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Beam the wounded to SB.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: We have to beam over to find out what happened.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::flips the tricorder closed::  SO: Sorry...old habit.  Please scan for any nearby Lagron
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CEO/CO: Sirs, if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my office. ::walks away from his console and into the turbolift:: Computer: Tactical Department
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::Presses buttons to make it so. ::
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Smiles:: XO: my bad, i was just curious about my duties, being new and all
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Take an AT and meet with Lt. Ryan, scan that growth , get it off the shuttle and get back up here as soon as possible
Host CO_West says:
COMM: Lt. Ryan:  I am beaming your wounded to our SB and my second officer Lt. Monroe will meet you on the surface to take a look at your shuttle.
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The shuttle crew at the cave are beamed aboard.
Host CO_West says:
::Looks over to see CTO leaving bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::walks carefully towards the door, wanting to get a look outside::
Host Biishe says:
<Lt Ryan> COMM:  CO:  Aye captain.  I will meet them at the cave.
Host Biishe says:
Scenario:  The XO sees a long hallway.  At the end is what appears to be a maid, dusting.   The house is very elegant in appearance, and very quiet.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
OPS: Transporter Room 1. Five Minutes. CO: Captain, any other orders?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CEO: Aye, Sir.  ::packs equipment for the mission. ::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@SO: Try to locate a possible office or meeting area for the Lagron....we'll head there
Host CO_West says:
CEO: Of course you  will check those engines, and if it can fly do so, if not let us know and we can tractor it.  Watch your back down there!
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::Walks to the Turbolift with a bag of equipment slung over his shoulder. ::
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Hits her tricorder:: XO: sure thing...::takes a guess and point to the right::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
Turbolift: Transporter Room one.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: CO: Of Course, Captain.  ::Heads down to Transporter Room One::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::peers down the long hallway, and looks for any signs of sensors or cameras.  Seeing none he quickly walks down the hallway to the right avoiding the maid::
Host CO_West says:
FCO:  Mr. Keown, looks like just you and me again!
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@ ::stays in the room for a moment the follows him out::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::nods at the CO.::  CO:  Yeah...
SO_Ens_Boxer says:
@::Hits her tricorder and beeps back something:: XO: Chris.. I mean Sir, there was a brief reading...i mean brief, but looks like it came from the basement
