U.S.S. Pendragon
10204.13

Vulcan Ale pt. 2

Guest starring:
Mike as Surak
Kurt as Thayne
Chris as Tanos

Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon, caught in the past where they first encountered the Braje and have now destroyed their entry into this dimension, quietly go about the norms of ship life as they search for a way back to their own time.

Host Karriaunna says:
The arrival of the USS Borealis into the area to observe an anomaly inadvertently (yes, inadvertently and I maintain my innocence) had the Pendragon head toward as a possible escape route.  The star turned out to be more unstable then they thought, or was it natural?

Host Karriaunna says:
The ship is currently racing at top speed to avoid the coming shockwave of energy and debris the explosion has shot outward...

ALL: We are increasing to warp 9.5...wait, no, 10....

MO_Shiar says:
:: follows CMO::

CTO_Rofax says:
Self: Warp 10?

XO_Kyrron says:
All:  Warp 10?  Isn't that impossible?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::looks at the readout:: CO: Captain... this is wrong... we are going beyond our max speed.... the structural integrity of the ship will not take it.. I am reducing power

~~~CTO: Sir! What's happening?~~~

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::shrugs unknowingly at the XO::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: 10.5?  That's not possible.....

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Damage report!

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: I think the CNS is the only one left

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sends out a COMM to all crew ordering non-essential crew to their quarters::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Things slowly begin to stretch...

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: I’ll check that

CEO_M`Tor says:
CO: Permission to eject core ?

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Slow down and die or explode?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: Aye

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::hearing the OPS Comm as the TL doors open to the bridge... then steps out::

CTO_Rofax says:
CEO: Is that a good idea?  At this speed?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: What is going on?

TO_McCloud says:
::gets out the door, and heads for a TL, but seems like forever to get there::

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: No.........

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: I have no idea but it doesn't seem real

CTO_Rofax says:
:: holds on tightly, riding it out ::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship pulls back, trying to break through, the engines complain more.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::looks at the sensors and reads a black hole:: Self: WWWWhhheeerrree ddddiiidddd ttthhhaaattt ttthhhiiinnnggg cccooommmeee ffffrommm...

CSO: Recommendations? ::comes out very slowly::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::holding on to the bridge railing she tries to move across to the extra science station::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~  Gil: Are you out there?  Are you okay? ~~~

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: I think we are going at warp 10, we can't hold this for long

XO_Kyrron says:
::watches Marat moving across the bridge::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: None. Once inside the event horizon, there's no way out.

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: is that possible?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::looks for any additional power to transfer to engines::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::logs on with her pitiful "Read Only" access and begins monitoring the sensor readings::

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Cann'ttttt sllowww....enggiinneeeessss willllll bbbuuurrrsssttt.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::whispers:: Gil:  Gilthanas, if you are out there, help us!

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Gilthanas appears in engineering as but a whisp.  The ship begins to pull back.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: I don't know, it is not logical for this to happen

TO_McCloud says:
::hits the floor after getting into the TL::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Holding onto the rail and heads to the Command Center:: CO: Caaaappppptaain, Whhhhatt is.. Goooooing onnnn?

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Keep trying!

TO_McCloud says:
TL: Bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddddddgggggggggeeeeeee

CTO_Rofax says:
::feels a sudden change in speed::

CEO_M`Tor says:
::frowns::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Prepare to pull us out.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feels the ship slow::

FCO_Elack says:
::Pulls the ship as far back as she can in the opposite direction of the pull::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Any change in the readings?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship slowly moves in an arc away from the gravity well.  All goes black for an instant as all become unconscious.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  How's the hull integrity?

XO_Kyrron says:
::falls unconscious::

TO_McCloud says:
::laying on the TL floor, out of it::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::can't answer ... lies on the deck unconscious::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Falls down in the TL::

CTO_Rofax says:
::lies on the floor, slumped over::

Host CO_Zax says:
::falls very gracefully to the floor::

:: collapses unconscious::

CEO_M`Tor says:
::falls head first on the engineering console::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Starts dreaming of egg rolls with sweet & sour chicken::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Through their minds are seen scenes of violence, an alien race never met of heard of before, an explosion....

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Time slows until it stops.

FCO_Elack says:
::Tries to scream at the violent images so familiar to her, but no words come out::

Host CO_Zax says:
::her eyes flutter as the dreams intensify::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Faints and drops beside the CO's chair::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship shoots out of nowhere and comes to a complete stop.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::her body twitches as it reacts to what she is seeing in her mind::

XO_Kyrron says:
::is still unconscious::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Slowly starts to wake up::

Host CO_Zax says:

XO_Kyrron says:
::slowly opens her eyes::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moans as she begins to stir::

CTO_Rofax says:
::notices he is breathing and tries to open an eye::

Host CO_Zax says:
::opens her eyes slowly::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::pushes herself back to a standing position over the console again::

Host CO_Zax says:
::blinks rapidly::

XO_Kyrron says:
::notices the lights are dim::

FCO_Elack says:
::Twitches violently::

TO_McCloud says:
::still out, sees black, nothing but himself, his voice echoing in his head::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Slowly wakes up and looks over to see the Captain Slumped over:: CO: Captain you alright?

XO_Kyrron says:
::pushes herself back into an upright position::

Host CO_Zax says:
::sits up slowly::

MO_Shiar says:
:: sits up::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the CNS::

CTO_Rofax says:
::eyes adjust to the dim light and pulls himself up::  ALL: Is everyone okay?

FCO_Elack says:
::Screams and sits up::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: What just happened?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::ignores the gash on his forehead and reads the readouts:: CO: Captain... permission to go to engineering... the core is damaged... I shall have main power online as soon as possible,

Host CO_Zax says:
::jumps::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::slowly raises herself into a sitting position::

FCO_Elack says:
::Rushes to her console to get readings::

Host CO_Zax says:
::glances harshly at the FCO::

CNS_Hollywood says:
Self: What the?

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: I dunno I was unconscious

FCO_Elack says:
ALL: We are in Vulcan Space

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Must you? ::stands::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Any comm signals out there?

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: Go.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::wonders who is making all that screaming noise::

FCO_Elack says:
CO: Sorry....bad dreams....

CMO_Blackwolf says:
TL: Stop, TL: Sickbay

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Vulcan space?  What's the date?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::climbs back up to her console:: XO: Checking....

CTO_Rofax says:
Self: Vulcan?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::moves to the turbolift leaving purple stains on the carpet::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::picks herself up and goes to her console ... checks COMM traffic:: XO:  Checking, Sir.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Any clue as to where we are?

CTO_Rofax says:
::searches for a SF Beacon::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Goes up to the FCO:: FCO: Tell me about the bad dreams...

Host CO_Zax says:
::pushes her hair out of her face::

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::begins scanning the area for other starships while the CSO gets our location::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: I want to start a full medical investigation

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Damage reports?

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  The FCO says Vulcan space.

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans for damage reports::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Oh, joy.....

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: what about the physicals?

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO/OPS:  We need to know when we are.

FCO_Elack says:
::Glances harshly at the CNS, considering she has an extreme dislike for counselors::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Vulcan space? When?

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Trying to determine, Sir.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::shakes head.... Self: What did I see.... explosion... screams.... ::sighs:: This games master is playing with my sanity again

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: That will have to wait till are at Green Alert

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr.  Cannot locate ANY SF Beacons....

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO; Shields?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Ummmm....my best estimate is 1,074 years before where we should be.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::exits in main engineering and goes to the main status display::

XO_Kyrron says:
All:  Anyone injured?  ::looks around the bridge::

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: yes sir

CTO_Rofax says:
CO: Offline Captain....

FCO_Elack says:
::coldly:: CNS: Just disturbing images. They were figments of my imagination, so it does not matter.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  One thousand years in the past, give or take a few.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: Commander, I read an incoming vessel.  Unknown configuration.

XO_Kyrron says:
::sighs::

Host CO_Zax says:
::sits down with a sigh::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  We are on emergency power only.  Some consoles blown.

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Identify the vessel.

Host CO_Zax says:
::thinks of course::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr... ::scans::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Casualties?

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Know anything about Vulcan history from this time period?

FCO_Elack says:
::Puts her hands over the controls, ready to get out of here if need be::

CEO_M`Tor says:
::grabs an interphasic coil spanner and moves to the core:: EO_Jameson: Get a KLS stabilizer over here... ::frowns at looks at the crystals::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::accesses the casualty list:: CO:  One fatality, some injuries.

TO_McCloud says:
::wakes up, jumps so high from being scared that McCloud hits head on the ceiling::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Looks at her:: FCO: I am not the kind of Counselor you meet at the daily market, I am the kind that can help, if you have time stop by my office and we'll talk.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I studied on Vulcan.

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: what's going on?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  And I am reading normal message traffic from the planet.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I recommend we NOT land there. Under any circumstances.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the is unknown.... no record of that configuration in SF database.... it appears to be a freighter judging by the layout....

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Why?  What was going on?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CMO*: Get me a casualty report ASAP.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::frowns:: Self: It's a wonder the did not fracture completely....  ::removes the cracked crystals::

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Can the other ship detect us?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Surak hasn't gotten popular yet....

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Do we have impulse?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
*CO*: Aye, we are working on that now Captain!

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  You'll have to be a bit more specific.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: I suggest we move to a concealed location

CEO_M`Tor says:
EO_Jameson: Get some reserve crystals.... these are shot completely... maybe the science dept will want to play with them

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at Marat::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: We have not been detected Cmdr.....

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: slow lift  :: kicks the wall::

CTO_Rofax says:
::continues scans::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Vulcans are not logical in this era. They are extremely violent and on the verge of self-destruction.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  We need to hide from the other ship.

TO_McCloud says:
::arrives at bridge, doesn't feel a large cut across his back::

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head in disgust::

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Lovely.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Do it.

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Walks up to the CO:: CO: Captain I think I better help with the CMO.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Exits the TL and enters the sickbay:: MO:  Start working on the injury list and I will work on the other report

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV/CTO:  Any suggestions on where we could safely move to?

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Do we have impulse engines?

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: aye

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the CNS:: CNS: Please.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: Scanning for something now Commander.  ::continues to study scans::

MO_Shiar says:
:: leaves lift and returns to sickbay::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, picking up COMM signals from Vulcan.  They sound angry ... threatening ...

CEO_M`Tor says:
EO_Jameson: Jameson... I meant NOW.... hurry with those Khest  crystals !

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Yes sir.

XO_Kyrron says:
<whispers>CTO:  I'll need confirmation from you.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Aimed at us?

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: ::scratchy voice:: Sir?

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Best best?  Use the star's magnetic field to hide behind..... far side of the star would be my suggestion, Cmdr...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  But, as far as I can tell, they are not aimed at us.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Takes a PADD:: Computer: Causality Report

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Heads to the TL:: TL: Sickbay

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Send the coordinates to flight control.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Damage report?

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Move us to the CTO's coordinates.

CNS_Hollywood says:
::As the doors close he looks at the XO::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye Cmdr.... ::transmits data to FCO::

FCO_Elack says:
::Receives the coordinates::

Host CO_Zax says:
CTO: Location of the other ship?

MO_Shiar says:
:: starts to work on the injury list::

CTO_Rofax says:
TO: McCloud, are you okay?

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Aye sir. ::moves the ship slowly towards the coordinates::

XO_Kyrron says:
CIV:  You concur?

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: ::same voice:: I don't feel like it..

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CO* Captain... are crystals are cracked.... I've thrown them out... replacing them now.... full power will be restored as soon as I replace them....  ::whispers:: I hope

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, I can't be sure, but I think the signals are aimed at that vessel out there.

CTO_Rofax says:
CO: The other vessel is approaching the system..... remains out of visual range Captain....

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Understood.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
XO: It's a better chance than anything else I could come up with at the moment Commander.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Gets the updated injury list:: *CO*: Captain, only one death, Ensign Nokia, other than that, only minor injuries

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Find out what you can about it.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: There are several irradiated zones on the surface where we could conceivably land, but I wouldn't recommend it. The moon might be a better target if we need a place to touch down. They hadn't established a colony in this time.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Can you get an identity on that ship?

CTO_Rofax says:
::nods to XO::  XO: aye....

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Checking....

Host Thayne says:
@ ::looks down at the red ball:: Tanos: This is where the field was detected?

FCO_Elack says:
::Arrives at the coordinates:: XO: We have reached our destination.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::inserts the new crystals into the matrix and closes the core:: EO_Jameson: Begin re-start sequence... NOW !

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CSO::

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Are we detectable here?

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Walks into Sickbay Jotting down some more notes:: CMO: Need a hand?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: We'll need shields and weapons, at least minimal.

MO_Shiar says:
:: goes to first victim and gets out the tissue regenerator::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Looks like a freighter.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Takes the PADD and sends the report to the Captain::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Vulcan?

Host Toran says:
ACTION:  The ships warp core comes online.

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CO* Captain.... re-start sequence is progress ... full power will be restored in 3 seconds

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CNS: Welcome, no help right now but....  wait.... can you take a seat on that bio bed please

Tanos says:
@::He looks at his display and peers at it for several moments:: Thayne: I believe so sir...however readings are unstable. Attempting to compensate...::He begins to fiddle with the scans::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: It's not in the database.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Understood.

MO_Shiar says:
:: glances at CMO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches as main power comes back on-line::

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Will they read us going to warp?

Host Thayne says:
@ ::doesn't shift his appraising gaze:: Tanos: Contact them on the speaker. We must greet them.

CIV-Emsil_Marat says:
::wonders how a ship in use by the Federation with soo many useless and redundant systems could still be useless in situations like these::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Probably.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: We have to be careful. The Prime Directive is quite clear.

CNS_Hollywood says:
CMO: Huh? ::Going to the Biobed::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  I understand, Sir.

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: need a hand over there?  ::grins::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: We were sitting in the open a moment ago Cmdr.... the magnetic field of the star should provide ample cover for the time being.....

CMO_Blackwolf says:
CNS: We need to complete your physical

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: Aye, care to take this one?

CTO_Rofax says:
TO: McCloud, can you make it to sickbay?

CNS_Hollywood says:
CMO: Ah... ::Sits on the Biobed::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Any indications on com traffic that we have been detected?

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: I’ll have a go.

TO_McCloud says:
::vision starts to blur:: CTO: ::same voice:: Ye... ss... sir.... ::staggers into the wall::

Tanos says:
@::Understood. He begins to open a communications channel over their comm systems:: 

TO_McCloud says:
::hits the floor unconscious::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Motions for the MO to proceed with the physical::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, there are several other ships just outside the system.... they are beyond the Vulcan's sensor range.... attempting to identify...

CEO_M`Tor says:
::mumbles and picks up the KLS stabilizer to adjust the power output::

XO_Kyrron says:
::nods to the CTO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Negative.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Good.  Keep monitoring them.

CTO_Rofax says:
*CMO*  Doctor.... please send someone to the bridge.... Lt. McCloud is injured....

Host Toran says:
COMM: Halcyon, this is the planet T'Khasi.  We are rather busy.  How can we help you?

MO_Shiar says:
CNS: if you'll lie down here please :: indicates the biobed::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
*CTO* Enroute

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Looks up:: Self: You gotta be joking..

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  However, I am reading traffic between the ships and T'Khasi ... the correct name for Vulcan, I believe.

Tanos says:
@::He turns from his display to the other Diar:: Thayne: I have the planet on comm sir...

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  I recommend we lay low until they move out of the area.

CTO_Rofax says:
*CMO* Thanks Doc.... Rofax out.

MO_Shiar says:
CNS: this shouldn't hurt... much

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: I am needed on the bridge, I will be right back, carry on here  ::Turns and heads out::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Keep us updated.

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: yes sir

Host CO_Zax says:

OPS_Pettigrove says:

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Good idea.

CMO_Blackwolf says:

Host Thayne says:

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Ok, Whatever you say.

MO_Shiar says:
:: turns on scanner thing and starts tests::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr, the other vessels detected are of similar construction... however, they appear to be fighters and clearly lighter, more maneuverable than the freighter...

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  What sort of weapons do they have?

Host Toran says:
%COMM: Thayne:  Trade us with what?  And who are you?

MO_Shiar says:
:: works and talks:: CNS: so, how are you feeling?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Exits the TL onto the bridge:: CTO: What happened?  ::Begins to scan the TO::

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Monitor the comms and see if you can put what's being said into some kind of historical context.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: They weapons are no match for us Cmdr.  However, they do out number us....

XO_Kyrron says:
::notices the CMO on the bridge::

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Prepare a defense.  Just in case.  ::grins at Rofax::

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Good.

CTO_Rofax says:
CMO: The distortion of high warp has not been pleasing on young McCloud here....

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I'll try  Hope the translator is working...my Vulcan's a bit rusty.

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Orders, sir? This is my first mission, by the way...I'm Lt. JG Andzi Elack.

Host Thayne says:
@ ::glances at Tanos again and holds the on button:: COM Vulcan: I am... We are the Diar, a space faring race like your own. We hail from the Dega System, some ten light-years distant. We wish to trade in goods and information. Over.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks puzzled:: XO:  Sir, The ships have identified themselves as a race called the Diar.  Are you familiar with them?

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  I'm sure you'll manage.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Certainly Cmdr....  ::readies the weapons systems and maintains shields::

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Oh, right.  Welcome aboard.

MO_Shiar says:
CNS: glad to hear it. anything felt weird recently, suffered anything?

FCO_Elack says:
::salutes:: XO: Thank you, sir. Is there anything I can do to help out right now?

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  I'm not.  Perhaps our CSO can shed some light on them.

Host CO_Zax says:
::is staring at the screen, lost in thought::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Continues to scan the TO and injects him with phentermine::

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: I should ask you that.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO/CSO:  They say they wish to trade with the Vulcans.

XO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Yeah, plot the trajectory of those ships coming in and how best to get us out of here undetected

CTO_Rofax says:
Self: The Diar?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
OPS/XO: I think....that this is Vulcan's First Contact.

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans the SF database::

Host Toran says:
%COMM: Thayne:  Space faring... ::Turns to look at his superiors, this being their first contact with an alien species.::  Indeed.  What do you have for trade?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::checks the master display and regulates the plasma flow::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  They say that they're from the Delta System ... about 10 light years away.

Host Thayne says:
@ ::eyes glitter, and glances at Tanos again:: Tanos: Success...

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Aye sir. ::does a perfect turn-about to the helm::

Tanos says:
@::He listens to the conversation with the alien "Toran" while running standard sensor sweeps with their primitive scanners::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Deltans?

XO_Kyrron says:
::looks at the CSO::  CSO:  Do you know anything about these Diar?

MO_Shiar says:
::stops for a second:: CNS: well, when we all fell unconscious I saw lots of killing and explosions :: gets back to work::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Never heard of them.

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises her brow at the obvious brown nosing but says nothing::

Host Thayne says:
@ ::more actively:: COM Vulcan: We carry alloys and ores, and equipment for same for use aboard our vessels. We have star charts as well. I request humbly to be allowed to set foot on your world to speak with you.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  I don't know, Sir.  I'll continue to monitor.

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  That's a bit odd, don't you think?

CEO_M`Tor says:
::wonders where the ship is now:: EO_Jameson: Take over here... I'll go bother the Captain and find out where we are now

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Picks up the TO to carry him to the sickbay::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: How so?

CTO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Lt., with the modifications to the ion trail, could we escape undetected?

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Ah...

Host Toran says:
%::Looks at his superior who nods his head::  COMM:  Thayne, we would be interested in meeting.

FCO_Elack says:
::Starts diligently plotting the trajectory and strategizing::

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: I fell when we impacted something can you check for broken bones?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  They're asking permission to "set foot on Vulcan soil" as they put it.  It seems the Vulcans have agreed.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  At least it’s an opportunity to record some historical data.  ::smiles weakly::

Host CO_Zax says:
::sighs::

Host Thayne says:
@ COM Toran: As are we. We will follow your laser signal and should land within a few standard time parts. I hope to see you there.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::turns back to the main status display and almost curses:: *CTO* I wish the Federation would just install us a cloaking device and be done with it... ::sighs:: But I could attempt modifying the ion trail....

Tanos says:
@Thayne: It is surprising they are interested in meeting so soon after a First Contact scenario...many species would be reluctant...

MO_Shiar says:
CNS: everything looks alright so far. there are signs of laps in you neural pathways but those can be explained by recent events

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Hummm.... will we be able to still monitor what's going on on the planet?

Host Thayne says:
@ ::lets go of the mic: Tanos: I suspect these are a curious people. But we ourselves are curious.

Host Toran says:
%COMM:  Thayne, give us an hour to set up.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Unknown, Sir.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
*MO*: Prepare biobed 2 for the TO... ETA 45 seconds

FCO_Elack says:
::Finishes plotting::

CTO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Understood... and while you're at it.... can you request a couple hundred of Quantum Torpedoes?  ::laughs slightly::

MO_Shiar says:
*CMO*: yes sir  CNS: I’ll be back in a minute  :: goes to bed 2 and starts preparing::

Host Thayne says:
@ ::lets the smile show in his voice:: COMM Toran: An hour... would be fine. Till then, Toran of T'Khasi.

Host Toran says:
%::Watches as everyone begins to scurry around.::

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: No problem.

CEO_M`Tor says:
::modifies the ion trail from the main status display:: *CTO* I believe Starfleet told me they were on "back order" whatever that means... ::sighs::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Exits the TL with the TO in hand and enters the sickbay::

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  What's the status on those other ships?

TO_McCloud says:
::The large cut on his back starts to bleed more::

CTO_Rofax says:
*CEO*  Back order?  Why would we be sending them back?

Host Toran says:
%::Prepares for the dignitaries that start to come in.::

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: biobed 2 ready

Tanos says:
@::Smiles along with Thayne:: Thanye: I am sure our meeting will be quite an interesting one...I am curious as to what these people of T'Khasi are like...

Host Thayne says:
@ ::releases the microphone again:: Tanos: Take us in to low orbit over that site, so it will be easier. We only need wait an hour to find out.

FCO_Elack says:
::Walks up to the XO:: XO: Sorry to interrupt, sir, but here is the trajectory you requested. I also outlined a course that takes us on the left of the ships, where their sensors aren't as strong and there a few asteroids to scramble our signal. ::Hands the XO a PADD with the info::

CMO_Blackwolf says:
::Lays the TO down:: MO: Thank you, can you get a tricorder with the TO's medical file please

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, we cannot monitor the actual negotiations themselves.  We will, however, be able to continue to monitor COMM traffic to and from the ships.

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CTO* I have no idea what that means.... It's a human expression... ::sighs:: Ion Trail is modified...   You may continue to hide...

XO_Kyrron says:
::takes the PADD::  FCO:  Ummm... thanks.  Share this with the CTO please.  ::hands it back::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CMO*: How is McCLoud?

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: yes sir  :: gets it:::  there

CTO_Rofax says:
*CEO* Understood.... Rofax out.

FCO_Elack says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Takes it to the CTO::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Okay.  Thanks.

Host Surak says:
% ::Was just informed of the apparent first contact by hand messenger. Immediately sets out for Sharikahr::

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Cmdr.... the vessels remain....  they are keeping watch, but remain out of Vulcan's sensor range.....

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: should I finish the physical or am I needed?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
*CO*: Captain, TO McCloud will be fine, I am running some test on him right now, I will give you an update once completed.

XO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Let me know the instant they move.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Confirmed.  Things seem peaceful for now.

CTO_Rofax says:
XO: Aye

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Don't you think it odd there is no historical record of this event?

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: Finish the physical, I am going to run some test here

MO_Shiar says:
CMO: yes sir

CEO_M`Tor says:

CMO_Blackwolf says:
TO: Can you hear me?

FCO_Elack says:
CTO: You are welcome sir. Is there anything else I can do?

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: XO: Alternate universe? Or hidden history?

CEO_M`Tor says:
EO_Irvin: Clean up that mess down here.... ::points to the blood stains all over:: I'll go clean my head

TO_McCloud says:

Host Thayne says:

XO_Kyrron says:

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Have you determined if we are in "our" past?

Host Thayne says:
@ ::nods:: Tanos: Agreed. Burn the number two engines and take us down. The heat plating should handle this thin atmosphere easily.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I haven't found any indications that we aren't.

CMO_Blackwolf says:
MO: Aye, I  cannot get McCloud to wake up

XO_Kyrron says:

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Tapping on his PADD::
