Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives on bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::arrives on bridge::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Exits Counselor's office, and heads for nearest TL::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::filling in the engineering staff on the situation::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Enters TL:: TL: Deck One.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::arrives on bridge with Capt. Sulek::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
<Computer> CNS: Acknowledged. ::Takes him to the bridge::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::fiddles with the Counselors station::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Approaches Gokaar: Cmdr. How may I be of assistance?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
:;arrives on the bridge with CO::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to command chair and sits.  Watches as the crew goes to work::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Subspace surges are peaking
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::moves to her chair:: CO: Earn our keep, eh?
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::arrives on bridge and goes to TAC to try to recalibrate the internal sensors::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Full scans.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::notices the bigwigs arrive, moves back to SCI II::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Arrives on bridge, sees the rest of the crew arrived, walks over to the CO:: CO: Ah, Captain, I trust the first contact went well? ::Smile::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Crosses to Sci 1 and sees from the displays that the surges are peaking:: Sulek: Aye Sir. ::begins full scans::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: moves to his station and does some quick diagnostics to make sure his replacement didn't mess anything up ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thelsh:  A simple form of expression.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir we're getting reading off the scale
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Returns to the helm as Gokaar performs scans::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Gokaar: What is the source?
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*XO* Sir, I would like to take a shuttle into the atmosphere of the planet to gather more accurate scans of the psionic waves.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Steps down the sensor gain and looks for source::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow in the fashion that Hannah would hate and criticize as the CSO mentions something about readings off the scale::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  It has only just begun. Some of the planets are most interesting.  We should be seeing one of them soon.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
XO: Checking sir
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: I'm glad to hear that sir.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CEO* Stand by... Once we have the source you may get your chance.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::heads to one of the open consoles and goes over some of the readings from the Effs::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Stands by, and listens in as the crew perform their duties ... attempting to ascertain what exactly is going on::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Alarms begin sounding all over the bridge as the proximity sensors all trigger simultaneously as 20 or so ships appear from the subspace surges, sensors immediate recognize them as Q'orphod::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: grumbles :: This subspace business can't be good...
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*XO* Aye sir, I'll try to estimate the wavelength, frequency and amplitude from here in the meantime.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks around, what the devil::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: looks up, eyes wide ::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
::Lays in evasive and stands ready::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the ships::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks at the ships on the viewscreen::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: Shields.  Red alert.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Notices the alarms, almost jumps from her chair::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir evasives at the ready:
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: On our mark...
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Aye
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::eyes the red alert, and decides he won't be taking that shuttle trip any time soon::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Tries to make out the vessels, as he moves back and grips onto TAC II::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::raises shields::  CO: Shields up.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::hears the CO and exits bridge for SB::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the ship tries to move, her engines stall as the areas of subspace disturbances interfere with her systems.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CIV: Any idea who THEY are?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: slaps forehead :: Here we go again.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Hail them.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir the helm is unresponsive: *Eng.* Need power to the helm:
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: hails the ships ::
Host Owist says:
::Moves through the floor to 'stand' next to the Captain::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*BRIDGE* We aren't going anywhere sir, the subspace fluctuations are too rapid and random to compensate for
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
:: Scans the ships again::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: Stand by with weapons...
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks in surprise as a figure moves up through the floor, standing beside the Captain::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CEO* What do you mean?  FIX IT!
Host Owist says:
::Looks at the viewscreen::  Sulek: What are they?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to see Owist:: Owist: Greetings, I believe we have found your subspace surge.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Thelsh: Phasers charged and ready.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::modulates the subspace harmonics of the main deflectors::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::enters sickbay and watches her team for a moment.::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: Full load on all tubes...
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wonders if he should head to the armory.....stands and exits the bridge::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::mumbles to himself:: *XO* Aye sir, we're working on it
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist: They are the Q'orphod.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir still no response at the helm and no indication from Eng. on repair time
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::goes to the nearest console and pulls up the readings of the Eff's and the Marlisians::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CIV: MacTavish? Do you know who they -- ::Stops as he exits::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Thrusters?  Impulse?  Anything?
Host Owist says:
Sulek: Q'orphod, how did they get through the nebula?
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::::increases power to the modified deflectors to "flatten out" subspace
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron:  Open a channel.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Turns as he recognizes that name:: Q'orphod? Good lord.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Yes sir. :: opens a channel ::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Nothing Sir
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  They have the ability to fold subspace, I believe.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::Readies all weapons:: Thelsh: Commander, Torpedoes loaded.  All weapons at ready.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: vaguely recalls something about the Q'orphod from his earlier days ::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Hopes the Bellicose aren't on their tail as he holds onto Tactical Console II tight::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::exits the turbolift and heads for the ships armory::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod*: Shut down your drives and state your intention in this sector.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CSO: What do we have on the Q'orphod?  Technology, weaknesses?
Host Owist says:
ACTION: Six of the Q'orphod ships fold out.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*FCO* This is engineering.  If we really need to move, I have a trick, but I can't guarantee the condition of the ship after the short jump.  I'm standing by for the command when needed.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Wonders about the CIV, and where he's heading ... ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
XO: very little on their technology Ma'am - perhaps Tac database has more
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Accesses LCARS on Q'orphod::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Can we counteract the subspace interference.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::walks into the armory, waving the CPO over::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir Eng. has something we can use to move the ship but no guarantees
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CTO: How many ships out there now?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: watches nervously, as a crystal of sweat appears on his brow ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO *CEO* What do you have in mind?
Host Owist says:
Sulek: Why are they here?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Walks over to the CO, and stands nearby, nervous as well::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: I am trying to use a modified deflector to do so - unsuccessful so far
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::chechs scans to determine weapons and armament of the Q’Orphod ships::  XO: Fourteen ships, six of them folded out.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  They seem most interested in your planet and the nebula.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.* : whatever it is I believe we should try
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Stares at the viewscreen::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Subspace is calming down - we should have mobility shortly
Host Owist says:
ACTION: Two of the Larger Q'orphod vessels begin a descent to the planet's surface.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: Target those ships.... ::points to descending ships::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.: I'm getting some power back to the helm but very little
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the descending ships::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks in shock as two Q'orphod vessels begin to descend, hopes to god this doesn't end up like the Jatvar Colony incident::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod* I ask again. State your interest in this planet.  It is under Federation Protection.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*FCO* Use the thrusters to turn the ship on the course needed.  Once again I warn what this could heavily damage the ship.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::goes over the readings, still keeping half an eye on sickbay::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::nervous::  XO: I've locked phasers on the lead ship and torpedoes are ready.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Contact Starfleet and tell them what is happening.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::begins checking out a TR-170 with accompanying headset and ammunition::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: sends a message to the nearest Starbase, informing them of the situation ::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.: Aye: XO: Sir turning the ship towards the Nebula. On your mark
Host Owist says:
Sulek: They are landing on the uninhabited continent.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::nods in appreciation to the CPO and heads over to the range::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir, sensors are garbled by the subspace radiation from those ships
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Impulse power only
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod* Respond.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: The ships are still radiating from their fold, I can't get a clear reading for a tactical assessment.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks at the CO, then back at the viewscreen as the Q'orphod refuse to respond::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Stand by... ready with whatever we've got.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir - we may want to warn the locals - I'm not sure what effect that radiation may have on them - especially the Effs
Host Owist says:
ACTION: Several Humanoid Effs begin moving towards a ship in orbit, the Q'orphod begin backing off.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Begins to turn towards Nebula::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: watches in awe as the Effs move towards the ships :: This is incredible.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  Then they may not have hostile intent.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Listens to all the conversations going on the bridge, after all, the El Aurians are "listeners" ... this wasn't something he was expecting on this trip::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::puts the headset on and adjusts it slightly...letting it sit snug against his head....picks up the first clip of depleted trilithium rounds and feels its heft::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir impulse power engaged entering Nebula edge
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Hold here... we may need to assist the planet
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Don't forget to drop the shields as we enter the nebula.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Scans for Eff presence:: XO: Aye Sir holding
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Watches as the Q'orphod seem to be backing off::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::nods and slams the clip into place, watching the ammo counter wink to life::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::For once, he wishes that they had a Betazoid amongst them to detect the Q'orphod intent::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye shields dropped Sir. Holding on Nebula edge
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Target the subspace fold.  If need be we can seal it.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CSO: What are the descending ships doing now?
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Turns ship towards planet and holds::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::repeats scan on descending ships:: XO: Checking Ma'am
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, the fold has closed.
Host Owist says:
ACTION: The Effs move through the hull of the Q'orphod vessel
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::notices the impulse engines are now somewhat effective, and hopes it'll be enough::
Host Owist says:
ACTION: The Two descending ships have almost landed.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist: What are the other Effs doing?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::brings the rifle up and activates the holographic range and forcefields::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Owist: Can you communicate with your brethren?  What are they doing?
Host Owist says:
Sulek: Most likely investigating
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.: Do we have warp drive back? I have no indication at the helm as yet
Host Owist says:
Thelsh: I'll have to go look.  Would you like me to Captain?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Pauses for a moment, and his original thoughts descend upon his current decisions ...:: *CIV* Lieutenant MacTavish, are you all right? You left the bridge rather quickly when the Q'orphod arrived.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod landing vessels* Please maintain position.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  If you believe you will be safe.
Host Owist says:
Sulek: I hope so
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::lets out a breath, relaxing, as he squeezes the trigger, anticipating the recoil - watches as the weapon leaps to life as it roars and sends the projectile streaking into the target::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*FCO* I believe the subspace interference is still preventing us from creating a stable warp field
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.: Acknowledged
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Hears no response, worries slightly:: *CIV* Lt. MacTavish?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::sorts out a problem with the Blood-Gas infuser::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sighs, lowering the weapon::  *CNS*  Is there a problem?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
*CIV* I was wondering if you were all right. You left the bridge rather quickly for parts unknown when the Q'orphod arrived.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  The choice is yours.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CNS*  My services are not required.  Therefore, I have other things that require my attention.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO: Sir, from what I have read on the last O'orphod invasion... they scavenged every thing they could... We cannot allow those ships to land.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*FCO* ::lets out a slight sigh of frustration:: The subspace interference is clearing, but the nebula now prevents us from jumping to warp.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the landing ships::
Host Owist says:
Sulek: I will investigate.. ::Leaves through the ceiling::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
*CIV* May I ask what else requires your attention? We may need your assistance in speaking with the Q'orphod.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Eng.: Thank you I'll relay to the XO
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::shudders at the exit from Owist::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Watches in slight awe as Owist ascends before them ... disappearing through the ceiling::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thelsh:  How have they reacted when stopped in the past?  We are outnumbered and for all we know out gunned.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir we can establish warp once outside the Nebula, provided there are no further sub-space disturbances
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Thelsh:  If the Q’Orphod land their ships, they will be vulnerable.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO:: grumble::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::chuckles::  *CNS*  Unless they decide to take the whole word hostage, then maybe, but that is more the arena for diplomats  ::raises the weapon and aims steadily.....fires again....and again::
Host Owist says:
ACTION: The Q'orphod vessels land in a valley on the uninhabited continent
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Thanks... unfortunately we are 'inside' the nebula....
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Hears the weapons fire:: *CIV* I ... see, Lieutenant.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::lowers weapon for a second and closes the comm channel using the firing range console::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks at Raythan looking after Owist's departure:: Raythan:  I neglected to mention that Effs are non-corporeal.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the area around and under the landing site::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Looks at CO:: CO: Ah ... I ... uh, see? Or don't see I suppose...
Host Owist says:
ACTION: As the ships land, the remaining 12 ships form up in defensive positions above the landed ships.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CTO: So much for vulnerable...
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: The remaining ships have taken a defensive posture.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  back us into the edge of the nebula.  Just enough to confuse their sensors.
Host Q’Orphod says:
COM *Quirinus*: We wish to settle here.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO: Short and sweet
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye Sir backing in
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow at the sudden communication from the Q'Orphod, wonders why they don't settle in an ocean, then tries to remember their biological info::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::fires out another 6 rounds in quick succession, stopping and placing the weapon to safe::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Takes the ship deeper into the Nebula
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod*: This is a federation colony and soon to a member world, It is already inhabited.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::His eyebrow is starting to ache from all the quirking::
Host Q’Orphod says:
COM Quirinus: Yes, but three species.  Human, Q'orphod, and one other.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::checks and takes the single round out of the chamber and withdraws the clip::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::wonders what the Q’Orphod know about the Effs::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::puts the clip down next to the others and brings the holographic target closer, checking his groupings::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO: Why should that make a difference?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: thinks to self :: You can't just walk onto a planet that's already inhabited and claim you live there too...
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir we have backed into the Nebula and holding at 45000 meters from the known edge
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod* The beings known as the Effs.  If they wish to allow you to settle, then I suggest a diplomatic course.  Taking the planet is not an appropriate means.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::rubs the back of her neck.. she hates waiting for people on the ship to 'break'::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Q'orphod* Why this planet?
Host Q’Orphod says:
COM Quirinus: We are settled here.  ::Cuts communication::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: rubs his forehead :: CO: Sir, should I inform Starfleet?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron:  Agreed.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Double checks position from saved Nebula data files::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, we can't let them just take over.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Shakes his head::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: nods and sends a message to the nearest Starbase informing them of the Q'orphod's attempted settling of the planet ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  The next thing we do is up to the planet's inhabitants.  We cannot start a war unless they desire it.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir our current position is the most strategically advantageous
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::nods at the grouping...still have the touch boyo...takes the weapons and ammo back to the CPO::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Thank you Mr Vid.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Open a channel to the planet.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: opens a channel :: Channel open.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Plots several possible attack / defense scenarios
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Neranna* This is Sulek.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::leaves the armory and heads back to the bridge...not really sure what to do at this point::
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* We've been monitoring the situation Captain.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Captain, It occurs to me that the Qorphods probably didn't expect us here.  The 6 ships that left may have gone for reinforcements.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM *Neranna*  The Q'orphod wish to settle on your planet.  Our next actions will be dictated by you.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Frowns at the CTO's idea ... doesn't like the idea of a confrontation like this::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Keep monitoring for subspace folds.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wanders back onto the bridge, taking his place back at Sci II::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CSO:  Is there anyway we could prevent more ships from "folding" in?
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* We haven't even talked to them yet.
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* We are not skilled negotiators, that is why we are requesting Federation Membership.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: It would appear not - nor were we able to maintain a stable subspace environment for our propulsion
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM *Neranna* Owist has gone to investigate.  We will hold until you have made further contact.  My belief is they are not in a negotiating mood.
Host Neranna says:
ACTION: The Effs that entered the Q'orphod vessels still have not exited the ships.
Host Neranna says:
COM *Quirinus* Understood, we will monitor the situation down here.  Several of the Effs have gone to investigate their landing group.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM *Neranna* The Effs who went to investigate their orbiting ship have not returned.  You may want to wait.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
OPS: Lt. Prepare possible power reroutes to helm if we are to engage the intruders
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* Understood Captain.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::frowns, waiting for more information from SFC::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM *Niranna* Is there a way, that the Effs may be held?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
FCO: Aye, I'll divert our holodeck power, and other non-essential sources if needed.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Watches from the back of the bridge::
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* Not that we are aware of, but we've never tried.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
OPS: Acknowledged :: Adjusts for additional power resources::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com *Q'orphod* You have been visited by several of the Eff population.  They are to be considered to have ambassador status.
Host Neranna says:
<Q'orphod> COM *Sulek* The intruders are within our custody.  Please bother us no further.  ::Comm is cut again::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Mouths gapes open for a moment as he hears about the intruders in their custody::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
XO:Commander, didn't the Marlis say they had defensive measures.  It might be helpful if we knew what kind of defenses they have so that we could coordinate a response if they decide they want our help.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: Agreed.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: They might've used their subspace technology to hold them...
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Helm is standing by. Additional power resources acquired for tactical maneuvers
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Considers to try and help in any negotiations to free the "ambassadors," but really doesn't know what he could say to the Q'orphod::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Very good Mr Vid.  Mark a path to the ship that the Effs entered.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Agreed.  Com*Neranna* The Effs have been detained.  Your guide ship told us of a defensive measure.  Can you tell us what that is?
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Aye Sir already plotted
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Could perhaps appeal to them in some fashion, tries to think of something::
Host Neranna says:
COM *Sulek* The Defense is the Effs themselves.  They can disrupt most energies, included warp cores and the like.  It taxes them, and as far as we know it only works in the thickest parts of the Nebula.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CMO: Morgan, do we know anything about Q’Orphod biology.  Is there anything we could do to the planet to make unsuitable for them and yet no affect the human population?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CTO* Give me a second and I'll try and find out for you
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com *Neranna* Then we need to draw the Q'orphod into the nebula.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Self: Looks like a game of tag.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir all Nebula data saved in stellar cartography from our entry. We can move about safely as long as the Effs are aware of our course
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CTO* We don't have much information on them I'm afraid
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
