Summary:
The command staff meet with the Dross’ first officer, Durm, and the leader of the Caigen, Sa’tola, to try and help both of these groups with their situation.  Slowly they piece together what had happened to the now displaced Caigen and possibly why.  The crew then comes up with a solution that is acceptable to both groups.

On another front, Yalp has presented the CEO with an unwanted gift.

Time Lapse:
3 Days

Announcements:
•	Welcome back Patrick
•	Mike Jones will be running the mission this Saturday.

Second Officer's Log 10709.15: We're getting one of the settlers from the freighter over to help give us more information. We're meeting with them and the first officer of the freighter. I just hope we can get a amicable solution to this problem.

<<<<< Headen for Eden... Yea, Brother: The Journey IV>>>>>>>>>>

CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::arrives on the bridge with a PADD carrying the information about the mineral and her report on the conversation with the colonists::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::sat at Tac 1 fiddling with the display a little::
FCO Lt Knight says:
::looks down at his console to check some readings::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::sits in her chair:: CTO: I finished the analysis on the mineral. Good stuff, it totally blocks our scans, but its too heavy to use effectively in space. I am not sure our answers are there
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Christina, can you get hold of the man we spoke to before? Or he might point us to their leader.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CSO: But it could be used to build a vault to hide sensitive materials in?
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::in engineering checking the systems status::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: Yes I know where he is. But I am not sure we can contact him directly. shall we just beam him over or go there and ask him to come?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Beam him over will you?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::turns to the CTO with a frown:: CTO: In theory but it still had to be transported in big quantities from its original planet
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: His daughter too? I think she would be distressed if left alone
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::nods:: CSO: His daughter too.

Scenery: All is quiet in the general area of space.  On the two ships, both crews continue with their normal days, though the Freighter Dross's crew day is being tested by the colonists.

CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: Alright. ::taps her console trying to get a lock on the colonist leader and his daughter:: To the transporter room?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Is there someone there to meet them? Otherwise to the observation lounge and I'll meet them there.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CTO: Lt. can you bring the First Officer to the Observation lounge too.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::ponders for a moment:: CSO: If a ship could carry the stuff in bulk then it would be possible to make one of these vaults on such a ship. ::begins scanning to see if there is an abundance of the material anywhere on the ship::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: After talking to them, I think they would be happier to see a familiar face rather than the transporter chief...::looks down at a red blinking light:: CNS: But we have a problem ...

ACTION: Yalp appears on the CEO's console, a wire dangling from his mouth.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Yes?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS/CTO: That rock they are carrying prevents a proper lock. I suppose the only reason you were able to get me back was because I had a badge. They will have to be escorted to the vessel's transporter room
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::nods again:: CSO: Ask the freighter to have them escorted so we can get them over here please?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::doesn't find more than a scattering of traces of the mineral on the ship::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Could you join us in these talks please? I could use another mind to help me figure things out.~~~
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::nods:: COM: Dross: This is the USS Nighthawk. We request a meeting with the colonist leader and his daughter. Please take them to your transporter room and beam them over to these coordinates
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::sends the coordinates and awaits a response::
FCO Lt Knight says:
*CEO*:  Rand, since we have some down time here, I'm going to run a level 3 diagnostic on the propulsion systems.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
Yalp: Now where did you get that wire

ACTION: Sa'tola and his daughter Qui'a are led to the freighters transporter room where they stand nervously waiting to be beamed to the Nighthawk.

CEO LtJG AlThor says:
*FCO*: Go ahead.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: I can initiate transport on your word

ACTION: Yalp shakes his head and places it down on the console and then waits expectantly.

FCO Lt Knight says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.  I'll let you know when I'm through.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::Picks up the wire and looks at it::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
*FCO*: Thanks, have fun doing it.
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  I'm not sure how much I could help, you sure you need me?~~~
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Give me a moment to get into the lounge before you beam them over. And then join us please. Also, get the freighter's first officer up here.
FCO Lt Knight says:
::enters some commands into his console and begins the diagnostic::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
Yalp: Now why are you chewing on my cables?
Yalp says:
:: Tilts his head and just looks at the man.::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::nods::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I will always need you. And I value your opinions. You might have an angle on this situation that I overlooked.~~~
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
COM: Dross: This is the Nighthawk again. We would like to invite First officer Durm for a visit as well
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::starts running a diagnostic on the engineering systems to try to find out where this wire came from::
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Understood.  I will join you once my diagnostic is complete.~~~
Sa`tola says:
@ :: Squeezes his daughters hand tightly::  Qui'a: Everything will be fine.  They were nice people.  Smiles teasingly.  I believe you were trying to talk that lady into staying.
Qui’a says:
Sa'tola: I liked her.  She would make a great mom.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Thanks. When you are done.~~~ ::heads for the observation lounge:: CSO: Initiate transport when ready.
 First Officer Durm says:
@ :: Receiving the message sighs, wishing for all of this to end.  Perhaps he would retire early.::  COMM: Nighthawk: Acknowledged.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::nods and beams Sa'tola and his daughter to the observation lounge
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
>::>
Sa`tola says:
@ :: Chuckles::  Qui'a: She was mighty pretty wasn't she.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
COM: Dross: We can transport you over right now or await your arrival

@ ACTION: Father and daughter find themselves in the comfortable observation lounge, so very different from the freighter.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::steps through the lounge doors as the transport shimmers in the room:: Sa'tola: Welcome to the Nighthawk.
FCO Lt Knight says:
::downloads some information into a padd, gets up and walks over to the aFCO::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::taps at his console for a while::
 First Officer Durm says:
@ COMM: CSO: I will transport on my own.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
COM: Dross: I will send you the coordinates of our observation lounge. We will be expecting you. Nighthawk out
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CTO: All done. Lets see what they have to tell us. Will you join us at the meeting?
FCO Lt Knight says:
aFCO Parker:  Aidan, this is all what still needs to be completed.  ::hands him the padd::
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Sets the new coordinates and finds himself back in the observation lounge.  Unfortunately, with the two trouble makers.::
Sa`tola says:
CNS: Thank you... thank you kindly.  You and your people for trying to help us out.  :: Glares at the arrival of the 1st officer.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Durm: Welcome back to the Nighthawk.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CSO: Not sure how much help I can be... I wasn't over there.
aFCO Parker says:
::takes the padd and reviews the information::  FCO:  I should have it completed in no time.  ::grins::
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Displeased:: Sa'tola: We have done much for you and your people... far more then was in the contract.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CTO: I was there and I can't make much sense of it either. If you think you can help, you know where we are. Else, if we need you we will just yell ::smiles and makes her way to the observation lounge::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::tries not to sigh loudly:: All: Gentlemen, we are here to find an amicable solution to the problem. ::gestures to the chairs:: Please, have a seat.
 First Officer Durm says:
CNS: Sir, if you can get this all taken care of, it will have been worth it.

ACTION: On the CEO's board, a red light appears.

Sa`tola says:
:: With his daughter, takes a seat.::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CSO: Actually, come to think of it, I do think a security presence might be warranted... these people don't seem to like each other very much. ::gets up and follows the CSO::
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Takes a deep breath and takes a seat as far from the pair as possible.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
::heads to the OL, walks in and quietly has a seat::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::looks at the red light and sees that its a warning of something wrong with console #3::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::nods:: CTO: But let’s hope they behave ::enters the lounge and looks for the little girl::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::takes a seat between the two parties:: All: I want to make a few things clear. ::turns to the colonist:: Sa'tola: Tell me. Your people were put in reservations because of your belief in limited technology.
Yalp says:
:: Continues to look expectantly at the CEO::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::heads to console #3 and opens up the access panel::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::enters the lounge and stands silently in the corner::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::approaches her:: Qui's: See I told you we'd help you ::smiles and takes a seat somewhere available::
Qui’a says:
:: Seeing the nice woman, jumps from her seat and wraps her arms around her.::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::smiles at the girl and whispers:: Qui'a: Now Now sit for a moment while the grown ups talk
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Sa'tola: And the ground was considered worthless. Some years ago you were given an offer from someone to buy the land, so when you found you could leave, you took that opportunity.
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Watches the whole proceedings, tired of his people being considered the bad guys here... it was most wearing on a mans esteem.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
::looks around the table, trying to see what he can sense as he makes his way around the table::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::finds where the wire was and notices that it has been cut, not chewed::
Sa`tola says:
CNS: Correct... that about sums it up.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
All: So, you sold your land for a pittance, hired the freighter that would take you to a new world, only to find that you're not wanted there either, right?
Qui’a says:
:: With a sigh, lets the woman go and takes a seat by her father.::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::looks over to Yalp:: Yalp: Is this what you were trying to show me?
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::turns to Durm:: Durm: You, sir, feel that you have done more than your part of the contract. But now the problem is, what to do with these colonists that have nowhere to go.
Sa`tola says:
CNS: Yes and no.  We were not told why we could not continue onto our new world.
FCO Lt Knight says:
::senses the first officers' frustration::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::makes mental notes as he lurks in the corner::
 First Officer Durm says:
CNS: Correct.  We do not have the fuel or food or any other means to take them there, and then bring them back if they cannot remain.  Our contract extended only to seeing them safely to their destination.  At this point, this is not possible and they do not want to go back to their world.
Sa`tola says:
Durm: We cannot go back to our world!  There is nothing more to go back to!
FCO Lt Knight says:
::his thoughts come upon the girl as he senses her confusion and concern for her father::
 First Officer Durm says:
Sa'tola: That is not our concern...  ::sigh::  Our concern is to see you safely somewhere.
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  I assume you are sensing the same things I am from these people?~~~
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::studies each of the guests' body language and facial expressions::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
Durm: Excuse me, I am puzzled about one thing. What makes you trust the information that the original destination of Sa'tola's people can not be inhabited by them any longer
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::raises his hands for attention:: All: Ok, we now need to find a place for the colonists to go, and a means to get them there. ::he smiles a little:: Our ship is a tad too small, so we need to find another way.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Yes, and both sides are being honest about it. A pickle indeed.~~~
FCO Lt Knight says:
::he feels his heart go out to the father as he senses his depression that he possibly led his people wrong::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::notes the looks of frustration on the faces of the men and also that the girl actually seems to be genuinely frightened of Durm::
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Frowns:: CSO: We are not sure that we do.  But this is not something we can go and check out.  We are not an exploratory ship, only a transport one.  And we don't usually even transport sentient beings.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: So Commander, why don't we go check on this planet and then send them a message on its status?
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  A pickle, Commander?~~~
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::thinks a moment:: CSO: It sounds like a viable option. ::looks at the two men::
Yalp says:
::Finally getting exasperated waiting for a treat, leaves.::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Yeah, 'cuz I am not sure how to deal with this one.~~~ ::aloud:: FCO: How long would it take us to reach the planet?
First Officer Durm says:
:: Frowns and considers::  CNS: In the mean time, we cannot just stay here.  And we will still run into the same problem of feeding them over time.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::watches Yalp leave and then replaces the cut wire in the console::
 
ACTION: Yalp appears before Qui'a.

Sa`tola says:
:: Looks hopefully at those around them.::
Qui’a says:
ohhhh...
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CNS: Commander... may I?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::blinks at Yalp's appearance, she had heard about the little creature before:: Qui'a: He's perfectly safe for you to pet...I think. But don't expect him to stay long
FCO Lt Knight says:
CNS:  We're looking at approximately two weeks.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CTO: What's on your mind, Lt.?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::sighs at the FCO's remark, so that won't work::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: That long?
Qui’a says:
:: Reaches trustingly for the animal and smiles when he comes to her and seems to rumble.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
::nods::  CNS:  I'm afraid so Commander.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CNS: It occurs to me that if their destination is in federation space and they really don't want these people then the federation may grant them refugee status.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: And is their destination in Federation space?
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
*CTO*: Yalp was here and he showed me a broken wire that had been expertly cut, would you like to have someone come investigate?
Sa`tola says:
:: Frowns::  CTO: Well now, the planet could be considered in Federation space, but it is not a Federation world.  We just want to live our lives in peace.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
Sa'tola: There are many planets in the Federation. Many of which would welcome you and you don't necessarily have to become citizens, you can maintain your refugee status
Qui’a says:
:: Patiently sits and hopes someone one will give him a treat.::
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  The coordinates are not located on any main thoroughfare.~~~
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CNS: There's your answer sir, and even if it is not a federation planet, it's still in our space and as such we have some degree of jurisdiction.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I'm guessing they would like to be off the beaten track?~~~
Sa`tola says:
CSO: So you are suggesting that we go to another world?
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  That'd be my guess as well.~~~
Sa`tola says:
:: Shakes his head::  CSO: Beggin your pardon miss, but we have been pushed around and rejected for so long... we just want a world that is all ours.  We do not want to answer to anyone or any government but one of our own making.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::walks over to the replicator and gets a plate of treats for Qui’a to give to Yalp::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
All; If we can find you a planet that matches the one that you would have gone to, will you consider going there?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
Sa'tola: If you are willing to talk, you can reach a written agreement with the Federation so that you keep your government, within Federation laws. It certainly is a lot better than staying out here alone
Sa`tola says:
CSO: It is livable with no other sentient life?  We will be left alone?  Yes!
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Sighs in relief, seeing his crews troubles being taken on by others.::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I think we're getting somewhere.~~~
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Yeah......finally!~~~
Yalp says:
:: Wiggles his nose and sits up expectantly::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Durm: If we assist you with supplies, could you transport the colonists to a suitable planet?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::thinks Sa'tola is being a little irrational:: Sa'tola: The Federation is very big, I am sure you can get exactly the kind of colony that you want.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
*CEO*: I'm on my way. ::turns to the rest of the people gathered in the lounge:: All: If you will excuse me... ::leaves::
 First Officer Durm says:
:: Looks at father and daughter.  He had relaxed too soon.:: CNS: If they will refrain from areas of the ship they are not to go, then yes.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::finishes replacing the wire in the console, closes the access hatch and brings up the log of who accessed this console lately::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::gets into the turbolift and rides it down to main engineering::
Sa’tola says:
CSO: All we want is to be left alone.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Lt. could you find such a planet in our databases?
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Sa'tola: Will this be a suitable compromise for you, sir? To stay out of restricted areas?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::walks into Engineering:: CEO: Rand? you in here somewhere?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::nods at the CNS:: CNS: Yes Commander
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::looks up:: CTO: Over here.
FCO Lt Knight says:
::quickly glances at the father as he senses his extreme frustration::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::gets up to go to the bridge and check on it immediately::
Sa`tola says:
:: Looks down at his daughter::  CNS: Yes...
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Thank you, Lt. ::looks at Durm:: Durm: As soon as we have located a planet, we will supply you with the co-ordinates and supplies.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::walks over to the CEO:: CEO: What have you got?
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Sa'tola: And for that, my thanks. Your ordeal will be over with soon.
 First Officer Durm says:
CNS: What kind of time frame are we looking at so that I might inform my captain?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::arrives on the bridge and pulls up the data on planets in Federation space which have not been colonized but are suitable::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: Well I looked at the access log and it shows that no one has been at this console since we left the star base. Yalp showed me this. ::shows him the broken wire::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me. I'd have tried to find a planet with an established colony too. Help nearby if they need it, you know?~~~
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::takes the wire and looks at each end of it::
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: If Yalp hadn't shown me this a power conduit would have most likely blown up.
FCO Lt Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Well, if I can't point out the obvious to you, who could?~~~
Qui’a says:
Sa'tola: Can I keep it father?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::finds a small list and checks the coordinates, then makes her choice, downloading the information to a PADD::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Durm: I'm sure we'll have information for you in a few hours. Then its just the travel time. ::gives Aaron a quick grin:: That I can only tell you once we have a suitable planet.
Sa`tola says:
Qui'a: You know better... this little one belongs on this ship.
FCO Lt Knight says:
CNS:  Commander, if I may be excused?
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::makes her way back to the observation lounge::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: By all means, thanks for your help. ::gives Aaron a warm smile::
Qui’a says:
:: Sighs and watches as the creature suddenly vanishes:: Ohhh...
FCO Lt Knight says:
::smiles back and heads out of the OL and onto the bridge::
 First Officer Durm says:
CNS: You will be supplying the food from your vessel?
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CEO: Well it's obviously been cut in such a way as to make an intermittent connection, otherwise it would have been cut at both ends, I'm assuming this ::points to the chewed end:: was from where Yalp removed it to show you.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: I found something. Sa'tola: Its not much, its designation is little more than a mesh of numbers right now. Its M class but approaching O class with a lot of liquid water. Its on the edge of Federation space, far from everything. It will be a rough start, but still a start
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::smiles at the little girl:: Qui'a: I see you met my cousin.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: Yes Yalp was chewing on that end.
Sa`tola says:
:: Smiles:: CSO: Thank you... it sounds... wonderful.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CEO: You see how this end doesn't appear to be bent?
FCO Lt Knight says:
::walks over to the helm::
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Durm: I will have to talk the logistics with my Operations officer and also with my commanding officers. I can get back to you in say 30 minutes?
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
::looks closely:: CTO: Yes.
FCO Lt Knight says:
aFCO:  Any problems Parker?
 First Officer Durm says:
:: stands:: CNS: I will return to my ship in the meantime and let my captain know the situation.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Durm: My thanks for your patience.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CEO: This tells me that it was deliberately set to cause a short in the system and, in the long term, an overload... who is usually stationed at this console?
aFCO Parker says:
FCO:  Nothing at all Aaron.  Things went pretty smoothly.  ::looks up and grins::
 First Officer Durm says:
Scenery: Across the view screen an asteroid streaks by as it is being pulled toward this systems star.  It will get there in about 10 years.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::smiles briefly and hands the padd to Sa'tola:: Sa'tola: I hope you are ready to start from nothing, for Qui'a's sake as well as your own. And if at any moment you need help, just ask the federation
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: No one this is a secondary console.
 First Officer Durm says:
CNS: My thanks for a relatively happy resolution.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
Durm: This planet is about a week away at your top speed, so you will even return home faster than you thought
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CEO: And it hasn't been used since we left the station?
FCO Lt Knight says:
::takes his seat at the helm as Parker stands up::  aFCO:  Oh, and don't forget about meeting up after duty shift.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: No it hasn't.
Sa`tola says:
CSO: You are always welcome to come and check us out.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Sa'tola: You will be on your way to a new world soon. I wish you all the best.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
CNS: We should just ask Federation permission before sending them. But seeing as the planet was just released for colonization there should be no problem
Qui’a says:
CSO: Please...
Sa`tola says:
CNS: Thank you.
aFCO Parker says:
::nods back at Aaron::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::smiles:: Sa'tola/Qui'a: I will, I promise.  I don't know when but I will
 First Officer Durm says:
CSO: Your help is much appreciated.
 CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CSO: Thanks for that information, I was going to send that communiqué as soon as I was done talking to the Captain.
Qui’a says:
:: Takes her fathers hand::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
CEO: I'll see if I can get the records of who works on this console... in the mean time take it offline and I'll have my guys go over it with a fine toothed comb.
CEO LtJG AlThor says:
CTO: Will do.
 
ACTION: Far away, a light brightens the console of a darkened room.  A sigh is heard, then the scraping of a chair on a stone floor.
