#::laying on the floor, drooling::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::keeps checking doors looking for the pilot::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::in the basement following Pettigrove::

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: keeping an eye on the sleeping guards in the abandoned building::

CSO_Toms says:
#::coma'd out, almost like he'd had a bottle of vodka::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::on the bridge, not terribly happy::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@~~~CNS: Anything? ~~~

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: Have you retrieved them yet?

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>::looking at the screen, keeping their distance from the planet::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::searching::  ~~~OPS: I can sense him nearby.~~~

Host Cat says:
Action: The A Team is near the prisoner's room. They can see a few guards sitting at a table idly playing cards and chatting.

TO_Tegrat says:
:;scratches his lobes and looks at the tac console::

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>CO: Sir we are at station keeping, we should be out of range of their sensors.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::sees the guards ... moves over to the CNS: and points in their direction::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  Keep searching.  I'll engage the guards.~~~

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Good. Keep us so.

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: has a weird urge to say 'I pity the fool'::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::wonders why aOPS hasn't answered yet::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::nods and keeps moving from door to door::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::walks up to the guards::  Guards:  Hi guys.  How's it going?

Host Cat says:
Action: The unconscious B Team is beamed up.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO:  We have the B Team, Sir.  The A Team is still on the surface.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: Why?

TO_Tegrat says:
::drums his fingers on the TAC console::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::lifts his head up, looking around::This looks like the transporter room....

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO is beamed aboard.

CSO_Toms says:
::comfortable asleep on the transport pad...::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::looks over at the transporter chief::What is going on?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO: I cannot get a clear lock ... But they are in close proximity to the pilot.  We may be able to beam all of them up all together.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: As soon as they're clear, do so.

Host Cat says:
<MO Monee>::walks around the unconscious B Team and revives them.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO:  Plus I'm also reading indigenous life forms in their proximity.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::smiles winningly at the guards::

Host Cat says:
<Chief Hon'Cho> ::shrugs:: FCO: I think yer wanted on the bridge.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: Monitor their status...watch for an opportunity.

FCO_Jokeg says:
MO: Can I get this.....disguise off of me?

XO_Rofax says:
::awakens, feeling rather groggy::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::watches the CNS while making it look like she's not watching the guards::

CSO_Toms says:
::continues bliss oblivion on the transported pad::

Host Cat says:
<MO Monee> FCO: Captain said bridge first, sorry, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO awakens.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::sighs, getting up with a groan::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO:  The CMO is now back onboard.  Still waiting for an opportunity to beam up the others.

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO, CSO: The captain wants us to report to the bridge.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: aOPS: How is team B?

CSO_Toms says:
::finds the pad to uncomfortable in the end... and so decides he might as well stop acting asleep and do some work::

Host Cat says:
<Guard> ::grunts in response::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO:  They were unconscious when we beamed them up.

Host Cat says:
<Guard>: You the relief team?

CNS_Luchena says:
@Guard:  We've been sent down to relieve you all for your meal break.

Host Cat says:
<Guard> CNS: About time.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::walks over to join the CNS::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::stumbles his way to the TL::

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Very well.  ::heads out the door and for the lift::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::refrains from mumbling something unpleasant::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  Did you see him?~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@Guard:  How's our "guest"?  ::motions to the nearest door::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@~~~ CNS: No, he must be near though.~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
@::throws his arm around Pettigrove and winks at the guards::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::holds the lift for the others::TL: Bridge!::wincing as he wonders why he had to say that so loud::

CSO_Toms says:
::moves to the Tl to head for the bridge::

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO, CSO: I feel like I have had a gallon of firewine....

Host Cat says:
Action: The guards walk away.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: After this meeting, I'll wish I had....  ::frowns::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::nods in agreement::

XO_Rofax says:
::enters the lift with the others and orders it to the bridge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<whispers> @CNS:  Now's our chance.

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  Let's get him out~~~  ::looks for a control panel or something to open the door::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: heads to a TL::   TL: bridge

CSO_Toms says:
::stays quiet, thinking many evil things::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO:  Captain, the guards have left ...  beaming up team A now!

TO_Tegrat says:
CO: Captain... I have the observation team on the COM.... you want to talk to them?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: The pilot too.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> ::locks onto the OPS, CNS and the pilot and energizes::

Host Cat says:
Action: The pilot is lying on a hospital bed. He is pale, sweating, and near to death.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the TL and onto the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Yes, put them on.

Host Cat says:
Action: They are successfully beamed aboard the ship.

TO_Tegrat says:
@::transfers the COM to the view screen::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sees the doctor:: CMO: Doctor, you should have a patient shortly.

CNS_Luchena says:
::rematerializes on the transporter pad::

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: ah  :: turns and re enters the TL::

CMO_Shiar says:
TL: sickbay

XO_Rofax says:
::pauses momentarily as the lift comes to a stop before exiting::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::steps off the TL when it stops::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, prepare for an immediate casualty!  ::moves to the console and transports the pilot to sickbay::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Now that you are all back, we have work to do.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Jordan spring into action::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: exits TL and walks into sickbay::    *OPS*: ready

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Prep the micro sensors.

Host Cat says:
Action: The head of the Observation Team appears on screen.

Host Richter says:
@ COM:Pendragon: ABOUT TIME you answered !  I am starved... angry and a Redneck.... I have been left to die here.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::isn't looking forward to going back to the bridge:: CNS:  Come on, I think we have something to cover up I believe ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
COM: Team: Do you need extraction?

XO_Rofax says:
::crosses to the TAC console and signs on::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Jordan and leaves the transporter room at a brisk walk::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::walks along with the CNS::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::relieves the FCO, and sits at the helm::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::  OPS:  That was a close call.

Richter says:
<TO_Tegrat> CO: Aye Captain ::absentmindedly pokes ear wax out of his ear::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CNS:  It was ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
aOPS: You heard the man. Bring them aboard.

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> CO: Aye, Sir.  COM: Richter:  When you're ready, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: The pilot goes into cardiac arrest.

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'm glad I was with you.  ::smiles::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::checks the ships position::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets out a medical tricorder and scans the pilot::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<aOPS> ::locks onto Richter and beams him aboard::

Richter says:
@ COM:Pendragon: Let's see.... YOU were suppose to assess if I was to be extracted.... YOU were supposed to contact me upon arrival... and YOU were supposed to send emergency supplies. Did I miss anything Commander?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  You may not be, Counsellor ...

CMO_Shiar says:
:: grabs the cardiac arrest paddles and starts shocking the pilot::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr Nick>:: stands clear::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::thankfully doesn't hear Richter's complaints, as he was in a transporter buffer at the time::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gives Jordan a questioning looks as they arrive on the bridge::

Host Cat says:
Action: The extremely irate Richter and team are beamed aboard.

Richter says:
::screams as he arrives in the transporter room::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS: I'll tell you later.  ::exits the Turbo lift and hurries to her station::

Host Cat says:
Action: The pilot's heart doesn't restart.

Richter says:
::storms out of the transporter room and runs to the turbo lift::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::relieves the aOPS::

Richter says:
Turbo lift: Get me to the Khesting Bridge !

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Commander, you're in charge of the engineering team. See to the mockups...we need them fast.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches O'Dunn as he takes his seat::

Host Cat says:
<Nurse>:: CMO: No pulse, no respiration, Sir.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: keeps trying::

XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::nods as he tries to clear his head and makes for the shuttle bay::

CNS_Luchena says:
::flips his view screen forward and looks over the orders::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> ::puts breathing pipe down pilot's throat::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: shocks him again::

Host Cat says:
Action: Dr. Nick intubates his patient.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::still pondering exactly what she's going to say to Rofax when they have a little "chat" later::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Rofax::

Richter says:
::storms on the bridge:: CO: I am gonna have your butt in a sling... where'd you go to command school?  Ferenginar ?

Host Cat says:
Action: The pilot's heart restarts......

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::keeps her head down and concentrates on her board::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what the heck is going on as the lunatic storms the bridge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: Be quiet and sit down. We have work to do to clean this up, and you're going to help.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: scans the pilot::

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  With your understanding of the culture, how could we best spin this news report?

XO_Rofax says:
::arrives in the Shuttle bay and gets a quick update from the crew who have begun the mockups::

CNS_Luchena says:
::can't believe he didn't notice the security cameras::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Jordan::

Richter says:
CO: A mess YOU made... you never BOTHERED to contact me... you never BOTHERED to even let me know you arrived. You made a mess you clean it... It'll be you neck on the block you arrogant, pompous, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godly hood

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Are the micro sensors ready?

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  That's enough.  You can berate her later.  We have damage control to concentrate on.

Richter says:
<TO_Tegrat> ::nods:: CO: Ready when you are Captain

FCO_Jokeg says:
::listens to the new arrival complain, his headache getting worse::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr Nick> Should we tell the CO what happened?

CMO_Shiar says:
Nick: no

Richter says:
CNS: I could not care less about her career.... this mess is SO big, I don't know if it CAN be fixed

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at Richter, looking more Vulcan than usual:: Richter: That is irrelevant at the moment. You will assist us now. If you prefer instead to yell, you can do so from a small cabin. Either way, feel free to complain to the appropriate authorities afterwards.

CMO_Shiar says:
Nick: we're going in

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Transport the micro sensors as indicated.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::transports:: CO:  Transporting now, Captain.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr Nick>:: takes pilot to theater and prepares him for surgery::

XO_Rofax says:
*FCO* Please report to the Shuttle bay.  I could use your assistance in making the final preparations for the mockup shuttles.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Kerina and wonders::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Relay the sensor feeds to science and engineering.

FCO_Jokeg says:
*XO*: Aye sir.::gets up, making his way to the shuttle bay::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at Richter again:: OPS: And to Mr. Richter. His insight may be helpful.

Richter says:
CO: Fill me in.... what sort of damage have you done? And don't feed me tribble droppings!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::relays the feeds:: CO:  Feeds relayed.  Science and Engineering should be receiving now.

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  What do you know about their politics.  Why would someone stage something like that?  ::points at his view screen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feeds it to Richter as well::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets Nurse Portman and heads into surgery. gets out laser scalpel and cuts the pilot open after giving him an anesthetic::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods to OPS:: Richter: We have a video of Pettigrove firing upon guards that has been broadcast. We also still have the issue of the shuttle wreckage and the sighting of the ship.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::rides the TL , stepping off and into the shuttle bay::

XO_Rofax says:
::hears the Master Systems Display beep with the incoming feeds and displays on the largest screen available::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: The sighting is not significant. According to the data, such sightings are not unusual on the surface here.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts healing pilot::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the tape over and over::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: You can be the most help by assisting our counselor in making that video look like a hoax or propaganda.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: I have an engineering team working on the shuttle debris problem.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares at Richter pointedly::

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr Nick: dermal regenerator   Portman: sponge

Richter says:
::rolls eyes:: CO: Can you get me someone to hack in their television computer systems?

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: Looks acceptable so far sir...::looking over what the Commander has started::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr Nick>:: hands Shiar the dermal regenerator::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Richter:  I should be able to do that from here, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: And you have my apologies for the lack of contact. I was not conscious at the time, but that is not an acceptable excuse. I will be looking into the particulars.

CMO_Shiar says:
<Nurse Portman>: mops Shiar's forehead with sponge::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Richter: "Hacking" into their systems should be relatively simple.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Help me do a once over to make sure all the technology is native and in somewhat operational condition.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Can you create a suitable mockup from the data feed?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Richter:  All I need is the frequency ... patching in should be simple.

Host Cat says:
Action: The pilot is still alive......

FCO_Jokeg says:
::looks over it closely::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts singing:: ALL: the lungs are connected to the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary artery is connected to the red thing...

Richter says:
CO: Feed them some alien autopsy thing... the most outrageous thing you can think of and relate it to your Pettigrove

CMO_Shiar says:
:: still singing:: ALL: the red thing's connected to my wristwatch...  crap!

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I believe you might excel at that, counselor.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at O'Dunn not understanding::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Come up with something creative.

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Aye, Captain.  We are progressing on schedule and are double-checking our efforts.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: I see nothing that needs changing sir...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Good. Remember that one needs to be "intact".

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  You mean, make another broadcast?

FCO_Jokeg says:
::touches a access panel, it breaks off::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Prepare a series of gas canisters for transport just in case.

Richter says:
::nods:: CNS: You got it........ and make it as ludicrous as you can

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Understood, Captain.  ::enters the 'complete' mockup and begins re-working the consoles into native language and symbols::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::puts it back::

Richter says:
<TO_Tegrat>: CO: Aye Sir

FCO_Jokeg says:
::walks inside where Rofax is::

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  I'll need your help setting the background up.  ::throws him a PADD::  For the holodeck program.  ::grins::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: When we transport the debris and mockup, it may be a bit rough on the cargo transporters. Make sure they're ready for it.

CMO_Shiar says:
Nick: what species is this?

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick>:: shrugs::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::runs a diagnostic on the cargo transporters just in case::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Portman> Shiar: Haliian. you did know that right?

Richter says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Whatever...

CMO_Shiar says:
Portman: of course I did, I was just testing you

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: Not bad for building it in a hurry.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: closes the patient up::  ALL: have either of you seen the laser scalpel?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Cargo transporters are ready, Sir.  They're equipped to handle both shuttles.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up::  Richter:  Come with me.  ::heads toward the TL::

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Thanks.  This 'complete' mockup required a few minor modifications to the display panels, make sure I didn't miss any.  Also, be sure we extract all but the basic operational items.  ::begins removing off the last of the EPS relays and anything remotely related::

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: don't worry, here it is  :: pulls it out of jacket::   Nick: get him to recovery

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods, waiting for the ok from the engineering teams::

Richter says:
CO: You are still in deep cow droppings Captain.... make no mistake about it.. ::follows the CNS::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::utterly ignores Richter at this stage::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: exits theater::   *OPS*: we've stabilized the pilot and sorted his injuries. he's recovering now

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  Why don't you just get off her case about it?  ::enters the TL::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::takes a final look around::XO: Panels are good, they shouldn't know the difference.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged. Doctor.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: We ready then?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, sickbay reports the pilot will recover.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::nods::XO: Qa`pla....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Good. That's one problem solved, finally.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

XO_Rofax says:
::stands and carries out the final remnants of advanced technology::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::exits the mockup::

Richter says:
CNS: Why the hell not?  She messed up... BIG TIME!  She is not weaseling out of this... Violation of the Prime Directive is not something one can fix with the wave of a wand

XO_Rofax says:
::drops the various parts and does a once over with a Tricorder::  *CO* Captain, the two Shuttles are ready.  Standing by.

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  No.  But we can still minimize the damage.  That should be our priority.  Put the rest of it in a report.  ::leaves the TL and heads down a corridor::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO*: Get clear...we'll be transporting them shortly.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Is the area where the shuttle debris is stored clear?

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: I know we are probably in trouble for the PD violation, but I have no regrets...

XO_Rofax says:
*CO* Aye, Captain.  Rofax out.

Richter says:
CNS: Report my butt. Those Starfleet Captains with their higher than thou inflated egos... think they can mess up a civilization at the drop of a hat. I'm going straight to the "Old Man" himself... I'm going to scream in his face until she is busted to Ensign !

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Scans the area:: CO:  The area is clear, Sir.  Ready to beam the shuttles down now.

CMO_Shiar says:
Portman: you have sickbay till Nick gets annoyed  :: exits sickbay and heads for a TL::

CMO_Shiar says:
TL: bridge

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Swap the "real" shuttle debris with our mockup debris, then bring back the micro sensors.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the shuttles and is ready to beam them on the CO's order::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::beams the shuttles down ... then locks onto the "real" debris and beams it on-board.::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::leaves the shuttle bay::

Host Cat says:
Action: The remains are successfully swapped.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters Holodeck 1::  Richter:  Do you even care about the civilizations you study?

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: The PD is the least of my worries.  I went in unprepared and without an appropriate plan.  We are lucky to have made it back.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  debris swapped, Sir.  We have the real shuttle on board.

Host Cat  (Transport.wav)

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Bring the sensors back aboard.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the TL and onto the bridge::

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: It was a learning experience sir.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::brings the sensors back onboard:: CO:  Beaming sensors up now ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Plot a course to bring us over the other continent...but keep us out of their sensor range.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: how you doing?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I'm a little busy, Doctor.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::walks over to join OPS at her console::

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>CO: Aye sir.::adjusts course to position the ship over the other continent, careful to keep their distance::

Richter says:
::looks furious:: CNS: Damn straight I do... why do you think I am so ticked at your Captain.... She made a huge mess down there. You can't fix this with a few fantasy pictures... this civilization is scared.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  But I'm doing ok ... ::lying through her eyeteeth ... she’s terrified of being court martialled::

Host Cat says:
Action: The ship eases into position.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps back in surprise::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: We need to give the opposition a present....find an unpopulated arid region and transport the shuttle to 5 km above the surface with an appropriate relative velocity.

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  Then let's ease their fears.  Give specifics of a minor celebrity to the program.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: The complete mockup, that is.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Indeed it was.  However, there is still much to be learned.    ::begins inventorying the pieces with the Tricorder as the arrive::

CNS_Luchena says:
Computer:  begin recording AO one.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::locks onto the complete mockup and sends it on its way at the appropriate velocity::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::looks over the remains::XO: I wonder how much they analyzed.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shuttle away, Sir.  It should impact momentarily.

Richter says:
CNS: I can't promise much... ::enters a few parameters in the program::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: "Balance of power" was the term, I believe.

Host Cat  (Transport.wav)

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: I have another dose of telepathic inhibitor for you

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  And appropriate furniture: Desk, chair, couch, etc.

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle crashes into the planet.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: CMO:  No, thanks anyway.  I'm getting used to it.

Richter says:
::mumbles:: CNS: Way ahead of you... I'm old... I can only type so fast....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shuttle has impacted on the surface, Sir.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Considering the ease at which we were detected, I am sure they learned a great deal.

CNS_Luchena says:
Computer:  Record program in 2D.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*CNS/Richter*: The shuttle problem should be solved now. What is your progress?

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: I think the Federation will be visiting this place soon.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Setting the stage now Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Monitor communications for their reaction.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Take us back out to a safer distance.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::monitoring comms:: CO: Already on it, Sir.

Richter says:
*CO*: We'll be done when we're done.... we'll tell you when we are ready

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits at an empty console and watches the crew work::

FCO_Jokeg says:
<FCO>:Aye sir.::increases the distance from the planet at 1/2 impulse::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wishes Richter showed more respect to his CO::

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Or perhaps with the unplanned assistance we have provided, they will be the ones seeking out the Federation.  ::sighs as he continues scanning the debris::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, their communications media is reporting a possible plane crash in the area of the shuttle's impact.  They've dispatched rescue teams.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Good.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the scene taking shape::

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: Good point, I hope it does not come to that.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*XO/FCO*: The models are in place, return to the bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
Computer:  Incorporate news tape in a background screen.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::punches a few buttons on her console:: CO: I'm ready to break into their communications as soon as you need it.

XO_Rofax says:
FCO: You performed honorably.  Glad to have you aboard.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: plays music in head::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: As soon as Luchena and Richter are ready.

XO_Rofax says:
::hears the COMM and heads for the lift::

FCO_Jokeg says:
XO: Thank you sir. ::hears the captain, makes his way to the bridge::

Richter says:
CNS: Use your imagination... tales of abductions.... captured aliens, the works... the worse the better

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain ... they are now reporting that the shuttle was another "secret ship".  Both sides are blaming the other ... but there are calls for peace talks ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: OPS: Now they're both equally scared.

CNS_Luchena says:
::programs the second rate actor to spin an unbelievable tale about aliens with laser beams::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, could it be that we have inadvertently prevented a war?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Inadvertently?

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: if it was on purpose that would be a breach of the PD sir

CNS_Luchena says:
::has the second rate actor try to tie it into alien abductions, which everyone knows are ridiculous::

Richter says:
::snorts:: CNS:  Not bad...

FCO_Jokeg says:
::steps onto the bridge, relieves the FCO, and sits down::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: A breach or not, it was our orders.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*:  It’s a wrap Captain.  The program is complete.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*CNS*: Send it to OPS for transmission.

CNS_Luchena says:
::forwards the program to OPS::  Richter:  Thanks for your help.  ::puts out his hand::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: raises an eyebrow in true Romulan style::

Richter says:
*CO*: OPS.... OPS... Isn't she the one who mucked it up the first time?

XO_Rofax says:
::enters behind the FCO and signs on to the ENG console::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::receives the program, hacks into the local communications media and transmits the transmission:: CO:  Transmission progressing, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: The program is successfully integrated.

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  No.  I'm the one who mucked it up.  See that shape there?  ::points to the image from the security tape::  That's me.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at Jordan:: *Richter*: As you have been fond of saying, the fault is mine.

Richter says:
*CO*: As it should be.... we can go after the pawns later.

FCO_Jokeg says:
::slows to 1/4 impulse::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CO:: CO:  No, Sir. the fault is mine.  I submit myself for arrest,

Host Cat says:
Action: The tape is played across all communications networks.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: There isn't time for that now. Continue monitoring communications.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes Richter as he ends the program::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Our tape is being played on all networks ... I think they're buying it, Sir.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Good.

CMO_Shiar says:
Self: Lord knows I’m a Voodoo Child!

Richter says:
*CO*: But we WILL get all involved... you narrow-minded Starfleet folks think you can get away scott free... NO WAY !

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  What's say we go to the lounge and relax?

Richter says:
::yells:: CNS: I am RELAXED!

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::still standing next to OPS, presses a button and disconnects Richter::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::has the sudden urge to go crush Richter's neck::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It seems our message is being greeted with a mix of outrage ... and amusement ...

CNS_Luchena says:
Richter:  I'd hate to see you tense then.  I'm going there anyway.  If you'd like to join me...  ::walks away::

FCO_Jokeg says:
::grumbling::I would like to introduce Mr. Richter to Mr. bath`leth....

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts playing console bongos::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Commander, please join me in the Ready Room. OPS: You have the bridge.

Host Cat says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<End Mission>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<GO!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::sits down in her chair in the RR::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::enters behind the CO and pauses at the entrance as she sits::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits for the doors to close, not offering him a seat::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::thinks this is going to be as much fun as sponge-bathing a Ferengi::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Commander, would you care to give a summary of your command decisions while I was incapacitated?

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::thinks sponge-bathing a Ferengi would be unimaginably more fun::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Certainly Captain.  I intended to take down two smaller groups, infiltrate the population and best determine how to extract the pilot, the Observation Team, and the debris.  Once successful, eliminate any trace of the Federation.  Obviously, I failed in my approach.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Perhaps you can offer some insight on why your first action was not to contact the observation team and take advantage of their insight. While you're at it, you can also elucidate the reasons for sending teams to the surface before even trying more remote options?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: There was an attempt to contact the Observation Team, but there was no response.  At that point, I became overconfident in the Away Teams' ability to infiltrate and achieve our goals firsthand.  I erred.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Overconfidence doesn't explain why you didn't try a remote option first.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::doing some reading on her panel while waiting::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: I underestimated the local technological advancements.  I incorrectly presumed "pre-warp" meant our presence would most likely go unnoticed.  The errors of this mission are completely my doing.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Yes, the errors are mostly yours, but the fault is still mine.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: What most disturbs me is the continuing pattern of poor decision making that I have seen since your promotion.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Which I find all the more puzzling since I know your mind is capable of more.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::considers responding, but fails to come up with an appropriate reply::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I am rather hoping you have an explanation for these recent lapses.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: I am afraid I do not have an acceptable one Captain.  I feel as if I have been distracted recently, haunted, if you believe in such things.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: By what, exactly?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: My current position.  The Pendragon is rich with a long line of impeccable Executive Officers.  The Pendragon has a storied past, I simply wish to be a part of its future.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: One would think that such a goal would be a point of focus, rather than distraction.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: That would be logical, yet I continue to fail the crew and my Captain.  ::stands in place, unflinching::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::turns the chair to look out through the window::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Consider yourself on probation. Your command duties will be limited to general condition shipboard command for the time being.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Additionally, you are to retake the holocourses for Studies in the Prime Directive and Starfleet Leadership I and II, with their capstones. You will repeat the capstones and exams until you perfect them.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: You will do this on your personal time.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::nods:: CO: That is acceptable and understandable.  ::pauses::  Thank you, Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::turns back around and levels a cold stare at him:: XO: Do not presume to thank me, commander. You may well wish I had you court martialled before this is all over.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: I thank you anyway, Captain.  ::returns the stare::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Namely, you will also be instructing Pettigrove through Indigenous Population Integrations with the same conditions as your own courses.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Very well, it was my order to place her on the surface, I accept full responsibility for her actions.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: By all means, but she must accept responsibility as well.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: You will also see to it that she undergoes a level three "refresher" course in unarmed combat. Three hours of drills per day, from her personal time. We'll see if that will cause her to consider other options next time.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Understood, Captain.  I will make the necessary preparations.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: You will also receive counseling as Luchena advises to help you with this "haunting".

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Along with anyone else on either away team that you feel may need the same.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Counseling will not resolve this Captain, my demons fail to fade far from consciousness.  They are always with me.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: However, I will go as ordered.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::softens slightly:: XO: The purpose of counseling is not to drive your "demons" from conscious thought. It is to manage them.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Are there any other crew issues of which I should be aware?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Perhaps, you should speak with the lounge steward, Captain.  There have been a number of reports of certain crewmembers... enjoying themselves to an excessive extent.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Can you be more specific?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: I would say several of the crew overindulges, perhaps impairing their judgment.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Perhaps I am missing some key insight. As far as I am aware, synth rations can't have a deleterious effect.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: That is correct Captain.  But, there has been a fair amount of Romulan ale consumed throughout the ship.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I see.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Use internal sensors to location any such contraband and destroy it. To drive the point home, disable all synthehol production in the replication system and post an announcement as to the reason.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Understood Captain.  However, sensors will not be required.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Humor me. Some will likely be well hidden.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::nods::  CO: I will see to it immediately, Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Make it clear also that any "incident" involving alcohol, synthehol, or any similar substance will result in brig time. And while I am thinking of it, revoke Pettigrove's holodeck privileges for the next three months.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::eyes widen slightly::  CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: And she is prohibited from away team duties until further notice.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Any suggestions of your own, commander?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: No, Captain.  But if the situation arises, I will be certain to relay the information.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: XO: Then I have one final thing.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::waits for the proverbial axe to fall::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Complete your tasks with vigor and heed the counselor's advice...then join that impeccable line of executive officers.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Dismissed.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye, sir.   ::turns and exits the RR::
