CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Standing in the Shuttle Bay, alongside the Captain::

Klic_Kor says  ::In the Shuttle Bay, staring at the strange people::

OPS_Zax says:  ::monitoring energy stream::

CNS_Lee says:  ::In office::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::still on the bridge, standing behind the FCO:: FCO: Send the tertiary prime 
sequence with voice.

CMO_Varr says:  ::closes the log entry and leaves his office heading back toward the shuttle bay, tricorder in hand::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::in the Shuttle Bay trying to communicate with the alien delegates::

CSO_Larek says:  ::continuing to compile data on the peculiar webbing and working with the UT on the alien language::

Klic_Kak says:  @::on his ship, monitoring transmissions from strange vessel::

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Can you understand what I am saying?

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Is there any progress with the universal translator?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Absent-mindedly drums his fingers on his PADD::

OPS_Zax says:  ::taps console::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: The UT is still searching out voice patterns, I'm afraid this is going to be a slow process.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO:  What have you found out about them before I arrived Lt.?

Klic_Kor says:  Cak click kok click?

CMO_Varr says:  ::exits the lift and enters the shuttle bay seeing not much has changed since he left::

Klic_Kak says:  @::patiently awaits next transmission::

FCO_Tim says:  ::in his quarters looking at picture of his mother and father::

CEO_Wilkens says: CO: Pitifully little, I'm afraid, sir... They seem to be patient enough, in making first contact. I would guess them to be explorers, or perhaps even traders.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::walks to the CSO's console:: CSO: Most languages have an underlying fractal pattern. ::quickly brings up the fractal equation library and cross-references it to the translator:: Try this.

FCO_Tim says:  ::wonders if he will ever see them again::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: very few specifics are available to us.

CMO_Varr says:  ::performs the ritual gesture, so far thought to be a greeting, before opening the tricorder::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::nods at the CEO in understanding::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Yes sir, also I have some new data on the webbing, it appears to be organic.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Holds back a frustrated sigh::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::gives the CSO a look indicating he is waiting to hear it::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Klic cak klac kic?

OPS_Zax says:  ::monitoring communications relays::

FCO_Tim says:  ::takes deep breath and leaves for the bridge::

CSO_Larek says: ::applies the new setting on the UT::

CO_Vn`dor says: ::notices the CMO::  CMO:  See if you can scan their brain wave functions for upload to the UT.  It should help in the deciphering of their language

Jolade says:  ::Materializes in the Captain's Quarters::

Klic_Kor says: ::Waits for a response from the man in charge, says it again:: Cak click kok click?

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Sir, we are receiving a transmission from the alien ship

CNS_Lee says:  ::exits office headed for bridge::

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Are you from this area of space?  ::grinning::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Sir, perhaps if we use visual representation, instead of verbal?

FCO_Tim says:  ::walks on to TL::  TL: Main Bridge

Klic_Kor says:  ::Tilts head as man in charge speaks:: Kok?

XO_Vraylle says:  ::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: An interpretable message, or the same as before?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: We could show them pictures, and the like... something to covey our thoughts to them?

CMO_Varr says:  ::nods:: CO: Aye sir.  ::establishes a link with the primary computer and begins scanning::

FCO_Tim says:  ::walks on to bridge::

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Hard to tell, Sir....

CSO_Larek says:  XO: The webbing network is composed of organic material.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO: Interesting idea.  How do you suggest to proceed?

XO_Vraylle says:  ::turns around:: OPS: On screen.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Ensign Stricker reporting sir

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Yes, Sir ::taps console::

CNS_Lee says:  ::arrives on bridge::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: I haven't really thought this out, but obviously, the best way to start out, is to consider what we want to say. ::Shrugs::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::looks at the time on his PADD:: FCO: You are late, ensign. Assume your post.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: On screen, Sir

Klic_Kak says:  @::sighs:: COM: Pendragon: Klic cak click clic klik?

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Does that mean you do not understand what I am saying?

FCO_Tim says:  XO: As you wish sir

XO_Vraylle says:  COM ALIEN: This is Commander Vraylle of the U.S.S. Pendragon. How may we assist?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: A sequence of pictures, such as a chart of this region.

Jolade says:  ::In the Captain's quarters, attempting to discover who and where the Captain hails from,......some intelligence for future dialogue::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO:  What we want to say is, 'What the hell is holding us here and why?'

FCO_Tim says:  ::sits down at the Conn.:: XO: Oh sorry sir.  Wont happen again sir 

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Good idea, sir. Shall I start working on it?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Chokes back a laugh::

OPS_Zax says:  ::attempting to clear up the transmission::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO: Are you trying to be sarcastic Mister?  ::looking serious::

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Are you getting this transmission as well?

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Yes sir.

FCO_Tim says:  ::looks at Zax, then looks at console::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO:  Have you been able to learn anything about their anatomy?

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Klaka Klic_Kak.  You klic klec, I cleck.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Straightens himself out, immediately:: CO: Sir, no, sir. I'll refrain from further response, in the future.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Stares at the man in charge, almost like a child studying him::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Folds his hand behind his back, looking forward::

OPS_Zax says:  ::notices a few of the sounds seem to be identifiable::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::shoots an eyebrow up, noticing "You" and "I":: CSO: Is the translator starting to work?

FCO_Tim says:  ::sits at Conn. with a confused sadness look to his face but tries to suppress it::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: I clack kic.  Where clic kac clack cor from?

CNS_Lee says:  ::continues to observe from a discreet distance::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO: If you have a concrete idea I'd like to here it.  ::waits::

CSO_Larek says:  
XO: It has found some patterns in the language.

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Keep the channel open.

FCO_Tim says:  ::takes deep breath and calms down::

OPS_Zax says:  ::continues to record the transmission::

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Aye, Sir

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We are from the Alpha Quadrant, approximately 30,000 light years from this point.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: No, sir. I don't. If that's what you would like me to work on, sir, I will do so.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Looks coolly at the Captain, waiting for orders::

CSO_Larek says:  ::adds some other parameters, intensity, change in tone, anything he can think of to help::

Klic_Kor says:  ::Glances at the other two aliens with him, and then looks back at the man in charge::

CMO_Varr says:  ::quietly:: CO: Much of what we see seems to be the case.  Largely insectoid in physiology, but with a larger brain, and expanded appendages.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Sir, the translator is just beginning to be able to interpret the aliens' language. I will keep you informed.

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*:  Is it working well enough to be of use yet?

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We click cak from Cl'ck'ia.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Rigidly stands beside the CO::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: I would not advise it for regular use yet. We would not want to accidentally cause an incident due to its errors.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Well sir we are getting some in Fed. standard

OPS_Zax says:  ::watching the console carefully::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: It seems the UT is able to decipher simple words of their language.

CNS_Lee says:  ::turns around enters turbolift and heads for Shuttle Bay::

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  ::trying to gesture his movements::  We are from far away...  ::motioning through the bulkhead::  We are lost wanting to find the home of a fellow being in this region then return to ours.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods to the CSO:: CSO: Keep working.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: You are from Cl'ck'ia. Is that correct?

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks at the man in charges movements:: Kork, cak, kork? ::Repeats the man in charge's movements::

FCO_Tim says:  ::stares at screen ahead::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Aye sir.::keeps running the messages through the UT for other patterns::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO/CMO:  I think we are failing miserably here.  The being seems to be simply copying my movements.  Ideas?

Klic_Kak says:  @::nods:: COM: Pendragon: We click cak from Cl'ck'ia.  Do you kork-cak?

CMO_Varr says:  ::looking up:: CO: Sign language?

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: That should be a good enough basis for the UT. Now transmit images from our database and the appropriate matching voice pattern.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Aye, Sir

CNS_Lee says:  ::arrives at Shuttle Bay::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Telepathy?

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Your message was not understood. Please repeat.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO:  The problem is... we need to use a sign language that they also know...

OPS_Zax says:  ::begins to transmit the information::

CSO_Larek says:  ::while working with the UT he continues to gather information on the webbing::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO: Telepathy is a good idea.  Do we have any telepaths on ship?

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Maintain our position.

CNS_Lee says:  ::step forward::CO:  I am

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Maintaining position sir

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We click cak from Cl'ck'ia.  Do kork understand?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: I believe so, sir... The Counselor.

CMO_Varr says:  ::shrugs:: CO: As you wish sir.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We do understand that much. Our translator is still learning your language. Please have patience.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Motions with his head:: CO: As well as Vulcans, to a limited degree.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Permission to speak sir

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Go ahead, ensign.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::turns to the counselor::  CNS:  Ah counselor!  We are having difficulties talking to these beings  ::pointing to Klic_kor and his aides::  Do you think you could assist?

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: What do you klork?

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Of Course Sir

OPS_Zax says:  ::continues to transmit patterns::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We still do not understand, please repeat.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Sir I believe that this is their way of greeting us sir

Klic_Kak says:  @::receives transmission::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: That much is obvious. But beyond a basic greeting, we will need actual communication.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: They want to learn about us as us to them

CSO_Larek says:  ::runs the language though different voice algorithms::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Again, that is obvious. But to learn, there must be the basic ability to communicate.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: I would like to note that there may be some degree of risk involved in any telepathic species, of unknown origin...

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We have your kork clac-kik.  Do you want our cor clac-kik?

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO: Please monitor the CNS life signs during this process.  We don't know enough about these aliens to understand what it could do to her.

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at XO::

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Is there anything that I can do sir?  You know me at the drop of a hat I will be there sir

XO_Vraylle says:  ::wonders what that could possibly mean:: COM Alien: That would depend on what a clac-kik is, exactly.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::nodding at the CEOs comment::  CNS: Do you wish to take the risk?

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Understood. And appreciated. For now, simply keep the ship stationary, unless you have wave-pattern analysis experience.

CMO_Varr says:  ::pulling the directed medical sensor from the tricorder and plays it over the CNS to get a more accurate baseline:: CO Aye sir.

CSO_Larek says:  XO: They must have our language already deciphered, maybe they can help us with our UT difficulties.

Klic_Kak says:  @::sighs again:: COM: Pendragon: You sent clac-kik... with clorks and kork-kacs.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Aye sir, but remember at the drop of a hat sir

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  I'll be fine sir.  I believe I can accomplish the task

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: This is an extremely delicate procedure... they may interpret it as an act of violence...

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods to the overeager FCO:: CSO: An interesting idea.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Do you fully comprehend our language?

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO: I think we should risk it.  ::nods at the counselor::  CNS: You may continue.

FCO_Tim says:  ::nods back to the XO::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Aye-aye, sir.

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Very well

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Carefully watches the Counselor::

CNS_Lee says:  ::searches the room for the aliens mind

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We understand clak-ic better.  We wish to clork with you.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Just stands there, wondering what the female is doing::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::steps back to give the counselor a little space::

FCO_Tim says:  ::keeping the ship steady to XO_Vraylle’s orders::

OPS_Zax says:  ::monitoring relays::

CNS_Lee says:  ::locates mind and attempts contact::

Klic_Kor says:  ::Feels nothing, hears nothing, wonders what the female is concentrating on::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: The best way to assist would be to send back the same images with your language voice patterns. Our computer will interpret them.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We understand.  Please clac.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::looks over at the CEO and CMO with a look of 'I don't think it's 
working'::

OPS_Zax says:  ::preparing for incoming transmission::

CNS_Lee says:  ::Comes in contact with alien mind::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Silently agrees with the Captain; inwardly sighs::

CSO_Larek says:  ::takes time to check the Main Computer Core status and progress::

Klic_Kor says:  ::Still feels nor hears nothing, looks at the man in charge in confusion::

CNS_Lee says:  ~~Hello~~

FCO_Tim says:  ::thoroughly monitoring the nav. sensors for anything unusual::

Klic_Kak says:  @::calls up various images and words of significance::

Klic_Kor says:  ::Does not hear anything from the Counselor, looks at the man in charge:: Klicky kork ka?

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS:  ::whispers::  Anything?

CSO_Larek says:  ::preparing to run language data to the UT::

Klic_Kak says:  @::transmits images to Pendragon::

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  ::Whispers::Hang on

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS:  Any thoughts open to you?

OPS_Zax says:  ::receiving transmission::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Anxiously waits::

CNS_Lee says:  ::Scans Klic_Kor's mind

XO_Vraylle says:  ::thinking furiously::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: You have our clac-kik.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Receiving data from the alien ship, Sir

CNS_Lee says:  ::Gets a little dizzy because of a alien mind::

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Continue patching it through to the science station.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::steps back to other side of SB::  *XO*: Commander...  Anything new concerning the vessels outside our hull?

OPS_Zax says:  ::nods::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::looks to the CSO for an answer::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Do you understand us cak?

FCO_Tim says:  Self: Do you have our clac-kik. interesting.

CSO_Larek says:  ::receives data on DNA results of the webbing and the aliens and is fascinated::

CNS_Lee says:  ::Is confused with information she is getting::

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Yes, Sir :::patches data to CSO::

CSO_Larek says:  ::receives data from OPS and patches to the UT::

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  ::whispers::  Sir, the way they think.  It's confusing.  Hang on I think I got something::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Counselor? Anything of relevance?

CNS_Lee says:  CEO:  Don't know yet

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::quickly and quietly walks back to CNS side::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Nothing yet, I will keep you informed.

FCO_Tim says:  ::wonders if cla-kik means Jolade::

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Do we have any more information on the alien vessels?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Stands on the other side of the Doctor, still eyeing the Insect Aliens::

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  ::whispers::  Everything in their mind is orderly but in their manner of thinking.  It's a bit confusing::

FCO_Tim says:  self: clac-kik.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS:  Do you wish to stop counselor?

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Not as of yet but I have made a fascinating discovery on the webbing.

OPS_Zax says:  ::running data on energy patterns::

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Go on.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Do you understand kac-clac?  My clic is Klic_Kak.

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Maybe in a little while.  It's a little disorienting

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Concerned, places his hand on the Counselor's shoulder::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We do not understand completely, no.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Repeats question for the man in charge:: Klicky kork ka?

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*:  Has Science been able to find out the purpose for the 'tunnels' inside the energy streams?

FCO_Tim says:  ::thinks back to language he learned on Rigel 4.  clac-kik mean visitor::

Klic_Kak says:  @::frowns:: COM: Pendragon: But I sent you the clac-kik.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Sir

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Why are you here?  ::points to the floor::

CSO_Larek says:  XO: I have received DNA data on the webbing as well as the aliens, the comparison shows there are similarities between the webbing and the aliens.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Not now, ensign.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks at floor, looks at the man in charge in even more so confusion:: Kak kaka cor?

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Klicky kork ka?  ::almost tone for tone::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: The webbing has DNA similarities to the aliens.

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Sir

CSO_Larek says:  ::ties in information from the aliens to the UT::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::hearing the XO’s report, he begins to think his assumptions about them may be true::  *XO*:  Possibly made by this race?

Klic_Kor says:  ::Wonders why man in charge is repeating his question, decides to answer:: Korka kork keek.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: What is "clac-kik"?

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS:  Yes counselor?  You have something?

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Sir in kalooanis an ancient Rigellian language learned when I live there. Clck-kik means visitor.  Could that have some connection with Jolade?

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: It would seem likely, but we cannot know for sure yet.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Pardon me clac-kik sir

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::smiling at Klic_Kor with a look of not understanding::

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  I think

OPS_Zax says:  ::looking at FCO, confused::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Clac-kik is pictures and clok.  You send, we send.  We better understand after seeing clac-kik.

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: If so...  what does Science believe the purpose of them to be.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: So you are suggesting that a term from a basic humanoid species in the Alpha Quadrant has the same meaning as with this utterly alien species 30,000 light years away? Highly unlikely, to say the least.

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Lieutenant?

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  sir, from what I can tell they’re a peaceful species

OPS_Zax says:  ::tapping console::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO/CMO:  Any thoughts?

FCO_Tim says:  OPS/XO: I Iived on Rigel 4 for eleven years and learned that language

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Excellent. We will send more. ::motions for OPS to transmit more images::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We want to communicate with you... understand.

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  I sense no hostility at all

CSO_Larek says:  XO: The heat coming from the outer planets and the way the webbing is dispersed suggests that it is used to dissipate heat from the inner planets to the outer planets.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: None at this time; I still recommend the use of images, instead of words.

OPS_Zax says:  ::nods at XO::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: It is simple coincidence that the same sound exists here. It will not have the same meaning.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO/CEO:  Any ideas on what we can show them to get our messages 
across?

FCO_Tim says:  XO: May be sir but the legend of kalooanis is thousand of years old.  It is a 
possibility sir

OPS_Zax says:  ::transmitting images to alien ship::

CNS_Lee says:  Well, from what I can tell, the pictures have been doing well.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Larek suggests that the webbing dissipates heat from the inner planets, sending it to the outer worlds.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO/CEO: Obviously the holodeck could pose a use for this... but how?

CMO_Varr says:  ::raises an eyebrow as he answers:: CO: I would say get a copy of the enhanced UT program that they are building on the bridge and get a better understanding of what they are saying.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Perhaps if we showed them pictures of where we come from, and where we are now...

Klic_Kak says:  @::receives images and goes over them::

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Sir

XO_Vraylle says:  ::sits back down in the center seat:: FCO: A very, very remote possibility. As you were, ensign.

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Also the tunnel network is made for their small ships to travel through, suggesting why we cannot travel through the system.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We also wish communication, but we must learn your language first.

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at XO:: Transmission complete, sir

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We understand you well now.  Do you understand?

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Continue transmitting at your discretion.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: but sir these could be the founders of the caves of good fortune, sir.  Have an open mind sir.

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Sir the last message received from the alien was fully translated.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS: What do you have?

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Yes, Sir

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: He also suggests that although their ships can freely travel through it, we are too large to do the same.

FCO_Tim says:  good fortune sir

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  They’re peaceful and the pictures have been working.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::gives the FCO a hard look:: FCO: As you were.

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: I am aware of that. But will the next?

OPS_Zax says:  ::preparing transmission interval rate::

FCO_Tim says:  XO: But sir this could be the mystery sir. Please do not just pass it up.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We wish to be friends with Pendragon.

CNS_Lee says:  ::feels a headache coming on::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Hold your tongue, ensign, or I will have security hold it for you.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: We also wish friendship. I apologize for the delays.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Yes sir.  ::getting a little too eager, calms down::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Perhaps now we can determine what "clac-kik" means?

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: It is all okay.  You are simply slow to learn.

CNS_Lee says:  ::pulls out of Klic_Kor mind and falls backwards onto back::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Counselor!

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: The universal translator fully functions. We can understand their speech, but only from the bridge.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Clac-kik is loosely meaning language.  Hard to translate.

CNS_Lee says:  ::gets up slowly.  Puts hand on head as headache gets worse::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: I recommend we go to the Bridge, and invite our guests there, to do the same.

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*:  You have a working knowledge of their language up there?  We are receiving nothing here.

CMO_Varr says:  ::follows the CNS down to the floor and still sees no noticeable change in the scans::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Are you all right?

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Excellent. I am Commander Vraylle of the U.S.S. Pendragon. And you are...?

CNS_Lee says:  CO/CEO/CMO:  Could you quiet down a little?

OPS_Zax says:  ::continues transmissions::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CNS: Break contact now.  That is an order.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: The main computer is still off-line.

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  I already did, that’s why I fell over.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: While your input at times such as this is appreciated, you only need to give your suggestions once, not repeatedly.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: I see... perhaps you should report to the Sickbay? ::Glances questioningly to the CMO::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: My name is Klic_Kor, of the thirty-first Cl'ckt'c fleet.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CMO: Yes Doctor...  please give her a full medical scan.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: I will takes that into mind sir

CNS_Lee says:  CEO:  Would you stop yelling.  My head feels like I got hit with the Pendragon.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Our captain would be pleased to speak with you. Please stand by.

CSO_Larek says:  ::downloads all UT info on the language to the UT in the Shuttle Bay::

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Copy the new translator database to the main computer, with the UT program, and inform the CO when it is online.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks at the Captain::

CMO_Varr says:  ::notices the look, and then shrugs slightly:: CEO/CO: She is all right, just a bit disoriented.  Nothing I can do for her that couldn't be fixed by a little rest.

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Can you understand me now?

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Yes sir in progress .

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  thank you

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  Your absolutely right.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks in surprise as the man in charge speaks his language, steps back a second:: How?

OPS_Zax says:  ::still monitoring transmissions::

CSO_Larek says:  *CO*: Captain the UT in the Shuttle Bay should be functioning now.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: How can we show friendship to Commander Vraylle of the U.S.S. Pendragon?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Finally, sir, some progress!

CNS_Lee says:  ::winces in pain::

FCO_Tim says:  ::thinks that clac-kik in this language and kalooanis has a connection but respects XO_Vraylles order and authority::

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at screen with renewed interest::

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  We have a device that translates languages into the language of another.  Sometimes with new languages it may take some time to kick in.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Please tell us about the energy web in this system. We seem to be immobilized by it.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::smiles widely at the CEO/CMO/CNS::

Klic_Kor says:  ::Tilts head in wonder::  Amazing.

CNS_Lee says:  ::smiles back::

Klic_Kor says:  I... am Klic_Kor. You are?

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: The Web is what sustains us.  It has been in existence for centuries.

CMO_Varr says:  CNS:  You really should have been more careful.  Remember, the captain isn't a telepath, neither am I, only you are.  You have to know your own limits.

CSO_Larek says:  ::also makes sure the info is downloaded into the Main Computer::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Is there a way we can maneuver around it?

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  I know.  It was just the difference in environment

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  I am Captain Vn'dor of the U.S.S. Pendragon.  We are here as friends.  ::smiling::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We are sorry that you are caught.  It will take some time to get the ship untangled so as not to harm either the ship nor the webbing.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::thinking back a few minutes:: FCO: What are the "Caves of Good Fortune", ensign?

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks around at the Shuttle Bay, gestures:: Pendragon?

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  Their mind is ordered differently.  It took me a while to get use to it and then when I came back out a while to adjust

FCO_Tim says:  ::keeps ship steady according to the XO's orders

FCO_Tim says:  XO:Only a legend sir a big legend

OPS_Zax says:  ::monitoring power readouts::

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: That would be appreciated. What can you tell us about your species.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Go on.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::nods his head::  Klic_Kor:  Yes, this ship is called the Pendragon.  We have a being on board that is trying to find his way home.  Can you help?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::The mention of Jolade sparks his anger for a long moment::

CNS_Lee says:  ::finally stands up  though still kind of dizzy::

CMO_Varr says:  ::gives Lee a hard look:: CNS: Just looking at them and I could tell you that.  Let us explore the more conventional methods first.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: You can learn about us in time.  We want to show friendship.  Please come to the fifth planet with us, to learn and rest.  We will untangle your Pendragon.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks uncertain:: A... being?

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Well sir the "caves of good fortune" or "tak fefis hooden fortunin" where kalooanis was supposedly created by "clac-kik" or visitors

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  Don't worry.  I'm not putting my mind in contact with theirs for a loonnnnngggg time

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: I must receive the captain's approval, but that should be a simple task. We would be pleased to accompany you. Please inform us when the ship is free.

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Another lifeform like you and myself... but different from both of us.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Still uncertain:: May I see this... life-form?

CMO_Varr says:  ::finally pulls out a small hypo, and applies it to the CNS's arm, giving her a mild stimulant::  CNS: Good.

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Of course, Commander.  We wish you peace and good fortune.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Captain, we have been invited to join our hosts on the fifth planet. They are currently freeing us from the webbing that is restraining us.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::nods hoping he can find Jolade::  *XO*:  Any knowledge of the location of Jolade?

CNS_Lee says:  CMO:  thank you

XO_Vraylle says:  ::raises hand in a uniquely Vulcan gesture:: COM Alien: Live long, and prosper.

CSO_Larek says:  ::leans back in his chair and closes his eyes for a second before continuing::

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: Acknowledged.  We are on our way up there.  You may proceed to the fifth planet when free.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Acknowledged.

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Would you like to see the command center of this ship?

Klic_Kak says:  @::tries to imitate gesture:: COM: Pendragon: Live long and prosper.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Interesting, but likely unrelated to this species. After all, clac-kik means "language" here, not "visitor".

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks at the main in charge, still very uncertain:: "Command center"?

Klic_Kak says:  @::orders other ships to begin freeing Pendragon from webbing::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: I will look for Jolade now.

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Where is Jolade?

FCO_Tim says:  XO: However across the galaxy the same pronunciation

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  ::motions to follow::  Come with me.  CEO/CMO/CNS:  All of us...

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: In the random order of things, similarities will occur. Coincidence, nothing more.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Clac-kik in this language and kalooanis

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*:  Scratch that Mr. Vraylle, just be prepared to place a picture of him on the viewscreen.

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Sir even if we are freed we cannot travel to the fifth planet as the webbing is there as well.

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Aye-aye, sir. However, with your permission, I would like to report to Engineering... An engineer's job is never done.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Having trouble pinpointing his location, Sir...he doesn't show up on our sensors

CNS_Lee says:  CO:  Aye Sir

FCO_Tim says:  XO: May be not though sir

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Understood. ::signals such to OPS::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: We are dispatching more ships to transport your people to the fifth planet.

OPS_Zax says:  ::attempting to locate Jolade::

CMO_Varr says:  ::follows the captain, keeping an eye on Lee and the ambassadors::

OPS_Zax says:  ::nods at XO::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::nods reluctantly at the CEO in confirmation::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: Again, an interesting coincidence.

FCO_Tim says:  self: May be not…

CNS_Lee says:  ::Blocks everyone on the ship from her mind entirely as her headache gets worse::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Thank you, sir.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: We cannot take the Pendragon to the planet. I recommend a shuttle, and I believe they will be willing to guide us.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Sir could I do some investigating in to this matter

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Upon exiting the Shuttle Bay, he enters a separate TL, and requests Main Engineering::

OPS_Zax says:  ::accessing computer records for Jalade’s holo::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::enters a TL with the ambassadorial group which heads to the bridge::

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: In your spare time, you may do all the investigation you wish.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: That is all to hear. I will now keep my mouth shut.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Holo-image inputted and ready, Sir

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: Granted Commander.  You remain with the ship.  The CNS, CMO and I will go with the alien delegates.

CNS_Lee says:  ::does a couple of mental exercises discreetly::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods with a slight sense of relief::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Acknowledged.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Looks around in wonder::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Arrives in ME, several minutes later, and strolls over to a stand-alone work station::

FCO_Tim says:  ::looks at Zax and smiles::

CO_Vn`dor says:  Klic_Kor:  Shall we go to one of our smaller vessels to visit your world?

FCO_Tim says:  Zax: I am a little over-eager some days

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::stops TL and re-routes it to the main shuttle bay::  *XO*: Have the FCO meet us in the main shuttle bay.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: Understood.

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Suggest sending a member of the science team along with them to gather data sir.

XO_Vraylle says:  FCO: You heard the captain.

FCO_Tim says:  XO: Aye sir

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: We should send a science officer as well.

FCO_Tim says:  *CO* Be right there sir

FCO_Tim says:  ::walks to TL::

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: Agreed.  Have Lt. Larek report as well.

XO_Vraylle says:  COM Alien: Our captain has accepted your invitation. He will accompany your colleagues there.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::After receiving his hourly report, he re-enters a nearby TL, and requests the Bridge::

FCO_Tim says:  TL: Main Shuttle bay

XO_Vraylle says:  CSO: Report to the CO, Lieutenant.

CEO_Wilkens says:  TL: Main Bridge; Deck 1.

FCO_Tim says:  ::walks on to shuttle bay::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Arrives, and steps onto the Bridge::

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Hello sir reporting sir

CSO_Larek says:  XO: Aye sir ::has a science officer take over the science station, grabs a tricorder and heads to the Shuttle Bay::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::arrives in the Shuttle bay with the delegation::

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Wonderful, Commander.  We look forward to their visit.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Silently approaches one of the AFT Engineering panels, to file a report::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::taps the controls to summon another SO and FO::

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Hello again sir

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: In fact Commander, prepare an R&R rotation.  I think the crew could use it.  Anyone who wishes to go planet side is welcome.

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: See that our replacement SO and FO find their stations quickly.

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: It may be wise to inspect the planet first, sir.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Yes, Sir

CSO_Larek says:  ::arrives in the Shuttle Bay and sees the group:: CO,CMO,CNS: Greetings.

CNS_Lee says:  CSO:  Hello

FCO_Tim says:  CSO: Hello Larek

CO_Vn`dor says:  *XO*: It might Commander...  I would agree under normal circumstances but in this case...  ::lets his voice trail off::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CO*: I disagree, but will comply with your request.

Klic_Kor says:  ::Is in the shuttle bay, looking around at the shuttles in amazement::

OPS_Zax says:  ::contacting replacement crew

Klic_Kak says:  @::sets course back to fifth planet::

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Set up the rotations, with Alpha shift as priority. Myself excepted, of course.

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: Sir, with your permission, I will be staying on-board!

Klic_Kak says:  @COM: Pendragon: Do you want me to escort your shuttle?

CSO_Larek says:  <SO>::reports to the bridge and goes to the science station::

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Aye, Sir ::setting up rotation schedule::

XO_Vraylle says:  *CEO*: Granted. The computer needs your expertise.

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: Thank you, sir.
