<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::In front of the mirror over the dresser in his quarters, fixing his pips on the collar of his dress uniform:: Computer: Open a channel to Counselor Cephas.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::On the bridge of the Sharikahr at the OPS station working on the message.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Hovers out of her quarters once she is sure her grandpapa is settled and resting comfortably in the lower gravity environment of her quarters.::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::On the bridge at her station, gets up and walk to the OPS station.:: FCO: Right. What can I do to help with the communications?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Well we've only been able to recover snippets of the transmission, but the audio and visual are still out.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CNS* Ahkileez to Cephas. Counselor, are you there?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::In her quarters, getting the troupe cleaned and ready to go.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Hits her commbadge and continues to the TL::  *CO*: Yes Captain.  What can I do for you?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Tugs the cuffs of his jacket to straighten the arms and then smoothes it out:: *CNS*: I'm about ready to head to the conference hall. Are you ready?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Hmm, so what we need are to try to clean it up.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Settling Soran, she leads the triplets out the door::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: More like reconstruct it.  It is so badly fragmented.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Walks through the halls of the Sharikahr, following his escort to the Conference Hall::
Malane says:
::In her assigned quarters wondering if Thalor has any idea on how to conduct these negotiations and wondering if he should be here at all::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Is just making it out the bedroom when he sees Kela leaving with the kids:: CMO: Hey, wait up there. ::Covers the short distance in a few long strides::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Stops and turns to her husband::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
*CO*: I am heading there now sir.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: So if we try to use some of the universal translation protocols and the little knowledge we have of the Chodan’Ri and add possibly some of the algorithms from the Kula language, that should give us a starting point.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CNS*: All right. Meet you there, Keely. Ahkileez out.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
FCO: The part that we know is that it was sent from the Kula vessel during that brief recorded subspace disturbance and that it contained our coordinates and vessel type and possibly our heading.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Arrives shortly at the conference hall and checks to see that all is in place::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Taps the badge to close the channel and stops just behind his wife, leaning over her shoulder to kiss the baby:: CMO: You weren’t' going to slip out without saying goodbye, were you?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Yeah the Kula linguistic database.  ::Pulls it up.:: Here we go.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Good-bye?  Where did you get that idea?  I was planning on setting the triplets in strategic places where the ambassador would go and setting them loose.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO; Well, that's a start. We can try and set up a sub-area under the translation programs and run some of the algorithms past it and see what we get.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles:: CMO: Thereby inciting interstellar war. Sounds like them. ::Grins down at his lovable terrors::
Malane says:
::Decides that maybe she should keep an eye on Thalor and heads for the conference room::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I'll go ahead and set up the Kula linguistic algorithms if you can set the translation program up.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Naw... an excuse for interstellar peace.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Nods her approval to the two crewmen that had been assigned to make the preparations::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Wonders why the itinerary has been changed, he had hoped to get a look at the station::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Here why don't you have a seat, this is going to take a while.  ::Scoots over.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Chuckles and crouches down, opening his arms for a quick hug from the brood, lifting them up gently and putting them down before straightening and mussing all their hairs::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: I have to get going. Are you dropping them off, or should I find you later?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: I'm right on it.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I am going to drop them off.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Did you have something in mind for me and Soran?
Malane says:
::Enters the conference room and spots the CNS and hesitates on whether to talk to her::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Sits at the station and pulls up the universal translation program on the monitor.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: From what I've gathered, family is pretty important to the Kula, just as it is to us. I don't think they'd object to you bringing him.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Looks up at the entrance of Malane.  Places a well trained smile on her face::  Malane: How are you doing?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Isolates the Kula linguistic algorithms into a sub folder to run as a continuous loop through the UT.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Then I will join you in about 10 minutes.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Ok I think I've got them all isolated.  I set them to run on a continuous loop through the UTP until we stop it or it completes.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Enters the conference room and sits down, staring out the window at DS3::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Copies all the linguistic information about the Kula from the databases regarding grammar, pronunciation, alphabet etc.::
Malane says:
CNS: I am well counselor, but where is that delicious man that has been so helpful? ::Glances around the room::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: All right then. ::Kisses Kela on the cheek, careful not to get any of her makeup on himself:: I'll see you then. ::Glances at the kids:: You three behave. ::Shakes his son's small hand with a finger and then heads down the corridor on a beeline for the lift::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Try to run them through the sub-file UT. Anne, if it works it will be quicker.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Grins:: Malane: Oh the CO... He will be here shortly.  Can I get you something to drink or eat?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::With a smile, she turns and gives a gentle push, guides the kids in the opposite direction::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Hops into the lift:: TL: Deck 5, Section ten.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Compiles the information and sets it up.::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Nods and begins the loop.::  CEO: Ok here goes nothing. ::Smiles.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Ambassador: Ambassador, can I get you something to drink or eat?
Malane says:
::Picks up the CNS' manner:: CNS: No thank you on the drink but I do want to know where the CSO is.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Steps out of the lift on Deck 5, greeted by the security guards, nods courteously at them, and heads straight for the hall, his natural stride making up for the lost time::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
;;Sees the program start up and follows its progress as it chews at the information.:: FCO: It never ceases to amaze me, how languages can be turned into numbers.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Yeah, now if they only taught kids who were good at either one the other in the same format.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Walks into the conference hall, giving it a cursory inspection to ensure that everything is in order::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Finally answers the Counselor distractedly:: CNS: No thank you my dear...
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I remember a teacher who taught simple algebra and related it to a sentence.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Looks to the CO to see if he wants anything::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::With a smile, listens to the triplets arguing over who was going to be the good guy and the bad guy::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Funny, I had one who would put numbers on each word to explain about punctuation, commas and such.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Comes in on the end of the obvious question and shakes his head:: CNS: I think it would be better if we got down to the purpose of our all being here. ::turns to the ambassador:: Thalor: Don't you agree?
Malane says:
::Moves away from the counselor since she is obviously trying to avoid answering her question::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Nods and takes her seat next to the CO glad for the opportunity to avoid Malane's question::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: Of course Captain.  ::Turns around to face the rest in the room::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As they arrive at the nursery, they have decided that Keiran would be the good guy while the girls would be the bad.  Bad what, she wasn't sure.::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Those were the good teachers I suppose.  Hmm let's see if this thing is doing anything helpful. ::Looks at the console.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Paints on his most diplomatically pleasant expression and falls into an easy stance, looking out at the other delegates::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Checks on the progress.:: FCO: It seems to be about halfway through, maybe we can see some of the results.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: First off Captain, I would like to thank you, and all on your ship, for you help with the Chodan'Ri warship.  We certainly couldn't have survived without you.
Malane says:
::Takes a seat and stares at Thalor intently::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I'll route anything new to this PADD that way we can see how complete the puzzle gets.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Good idea.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Does his little "gesture" to the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Thalor: You are very gracious, Ambassador. I wish only that we could have saved all of  your people. Our sympathies on your loss. ::repeats the gesture, unable to shake the feeling that he's doing something obscene::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Listens to the words, body language, and influx of voices of all in the room::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Sets up the interlink and places the PADD between them.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Ushering them in, she pauses to talk with their caretaker, informing them that she was uncertain of the time she would be picking them up, but to be prepared for either Zavvia or Avital Singer.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: Thank you.  Have you been able to determine anything about the attack?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Kissing the triplets each good-bye, she makes her get away while they are still arguing over who was to do what.::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I'm going to go grab a drink, would you like anything?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Remembers her wee drink in Engineering.:: FCO: A glass of water, please.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Doesn't shake his head, unsure of their response to that gesture:: Thalor: We're continuing to review our records, but the short answer is that we've come to the conclusion rather quickly that you were right about their technical strength. We're still unsure of why they were able to find you so quickly. ::phrases it evasively::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Just checks to make sure the link is working, somehow she finds herself impatient to get a result, so they can get an explanation.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Gestures for them to head for the round table set up in the conference room:: All: Shall we have a seat?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Entering the nearest TL, she leans back neglantly against the doors.::  Computer, deck 5.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Certainly, I'll be back in a few moments.  ::Steps away to the back of the bridge.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: Neither are we, it is almost like they knew exactly where to find us.  ::Eyes both the CO and Malane suspiciously::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Reads that the Ambassador may be concerned about something... decides not to say anything just yet::
Malane says:
::Continues to lock her eyes on the ambassador not smiling nor showing any expression::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As the doors open, she pushes off and heads out the door::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Doesn't flinch:: Thalor: I assure you, Ambassador, as soon as we know something that can be of use to your people, you'll be the first to know. But we're here, and your diplomatic staff is well. My people are dealing with the other task. We should deal with our own.
Malane says:
::Glances quickly at the Captain and smiles::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Smiles:: CO: Of course Captain... of course. ::Sits down, glancing out the window once again::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Wants to roll her eyes at Malane and thinks to her self, "Doesn't this woman ever give up"::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::As she comes upon the conference doors, she activates them, entering into the room.::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Looks at the padd.:: FCO: I think the download of the first part has finished.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Ambassador: You seem concerned about something?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Glances away from Thalor for a second as he hears the door open. Smiles a little as he spots his wife and beckons her in::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Notices the CMO's entrance and watches the ambassador’s response to it and her question::
Malane says:
::Watches Thalor again and catches a glimpse from the counselor:: Self: What is that woman hiding?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Quickly comes back to the OPS/FCO consoles.:: CEO: Great!  Here is your drink and I thought you could use a snack so I grabbed a couple of the space energy bars.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Takes the glass and a bar.:: FCO: Thanks. ::Smiles.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CNS: Yes, I am.  How observant.  I am very concerned about this rash of attacks. And I'm sure you know why... ::Trails off::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Sits back down in her chair and looks at the PADD to see what it reveals.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Makes her way towards the table::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Your welcome.  ::Smiles.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Ambassador: You are concerned that they might happen again. ::finishes his statement for him::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I had dinner plans on the station that I had to cancel when they locked us down.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods to the ambassador and Keely as she carefully takes a seat to keep from waking Soran::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Well look at that it is starting to help although slowly and a little at a time.  Perhaps after a few more times through it will be better.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: What if we amplified it some how?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: I'm sorry to hear it. I only had reports in store, so no probl... ::Looks at the screen.:: Hmm, interesting. If we run it through a different sub-section of the Kula grammatical database maybe... ::Starts typing.::
Malane says:
::Stands and moves to the window and leans against the side still watching Thalor and now the counselor::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Thalor: Rest assured, Ambassador, this station's shielding is considerably stronger than our own. And to my knowledge there has not been any Chodan'Ri attacks anywhere near here. We're fine. ::smiles:: Now. To call this meeting to some sort of order. Your preliminary talks asked for Federation Protectorate status?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Chuckles a little.:: CEO: Now I've got reports!  ::Looks at what she is typing.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Returns the CMO's nod::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: Well, after our little run in, I'm not afraid for us... it's my home that worries me.  They don't have all this shielding... nor anything close to this type of weapons.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Let me know when to run it again.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Compiles the program snippet.:: FCO: Try that, it will take away some of the randomization factors.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Gets the impression that everyone is suspecting everyone else of something.  Definitely not the best environment for this type of discussion::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Alrighty here we go again, Take 1!
Malane says:
::Starts to walk around the room and stops behind the counselor's chair and leans down and whispers:: CNS: Thought you could hide your secret from me did you? ::Smiles and walks to Thalor and stands behind his chair::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Looks around the bridge at the various junior officers manning the stations.::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: They are so quiet.  ::Motions to those around them on the bridge.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Looks at her with a very confused look on her face and thinks "What secret could she possible be referring to"::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Yeah, I seem to remember having that kind of watch with only seniors. It does tend to make you quiet.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Thalor: I understand Ambassador, and the Federation would like to help you. But our regulations prohibit us from playing vigilante all over the galaxy. We have to have some sort of agreement with the world in question. Are you prepared to speak for your government?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Looks back to the console and PADD.:: CEO: Is that part of a picture?  ::Points.::
Malane says:
::Leans down to Thalor and whispers:: Thalor: Beware the hand of friendship old man.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: That is understood Captain.  And I'm sure you know that the Kula have much to offer the Federation in return for it's "good will".
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Certainly is. Let's try some graphics file restoration based on an ordinary picture database.
Malane says:
::Moves away to the Captain's chair and stands nearby smiling at Thalor and the Counselor::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Finds the relevant information and copies it to their working area.:: FCO: I've set it up under PICT_Anne.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks curiously at Malane::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Pulls up a couple pictures of Kula.:: CEO: How about these for starters?
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
::Waves away Malane, irritably::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Eyes Malane not liking what appears to be the raising of discord  amongst the group that had gathered in this room::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles:: Thalor: We do try to cultivate an agreement of mutual understanding and benefit in the goal to furthering galactic peace. ::glances at Malane::
Malane says:
::Nods at the Captain and bows slightly::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: And the Kula as well Captain.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Excellent, incorporates their construction in the program.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Leans over::  CNS:  Keely, something wrong?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns slightly:: Thalor/Malane: I can't help but notice there is some ambivalence, Ambassador, and Malane. Are you sure that this agreement is the will of your people?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
:The picture becomes slowly clearer.:: FCO: It sure seems to work.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: Not all of the people, Captain... ::Eyes Malane once again::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Leans over and whispers so that only the two of them can hear::::  CMO: Do you see how Malane is going around and trying to get everyone up in arms?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Startled.:: CEO: Is that who I think that is?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: FCO: Yep, sure is.
Malane says:
::Runs her fingers along the back of the Captain's chair then moves closer:: CO: I believe that some of the people may not be as receptive to the Ambassador's plans...errr....desires.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  I notice she is wandering the room.  Hmmm... shall I take her out or leave her and see what her game is?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: We had better let the captain know.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Now what are we supposed to do, the Captain is in negotiations with them right now.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CMO: ::still whispering::  Let's leave her for now.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Find an excuse to enter there.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Maybe, if one if his lovely kids were to run there accidentally while we were looking after him...
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Ah I think I know the perfect solution.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nods and quietly sits back, confident in her family and friends.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
Malane:  What is this other group and their desire?
Malane says:
::Spots the CMO speaking to the CNS and moves over to her:: CMO: How are your children my dear? ::Smiles and walks away before she can answer::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Let's hear it.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns and sits back as well::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: No, but sometimes extreme circumstance require a new outlook.  My people generally have not trusted outsiders for a very long time.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: You know that Station Commander who wouldn't speak to us only to the Captain?
Malane says:
::Ignores the doctor's question::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Yes...
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles down at her son::  Malane:  A handful... as 3 year olds usually are.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: I think the Captain has a call that must be answered immediately from his Ready Room.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Starts typing to make up the "call".:: FCO: Ah, yes I think it is coming in.... right now.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Thalor: We're not seeking to change your people's way of life, Ambassador. We respect your pursuit of peaceful ends. But if the Chodan'Ri are indeed after you again, you have to defend yourselves.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Very good I'll call him
CMO_Ahkileez says:
Amb:  Was there a good reason behind that mistrust?
Malane says:
::Stands back behind the Captain and whispers:: CO: Beware the hand offered, Captain. ::Moves to the door and slips out unnoticed::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm sorry to disturb you but the DS3 Station Commander is demanding to speak with you right away and privately.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Makes a copy of the picture - just in case.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Motions for the CMO to follow her::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Gives the CEO a thumbs up.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CMO: Our history is one of mistrust.  After being conquered we have always been suspicious of those who invest heavily into  the military.  We have no wish to become "Subjects" of anyone's Empire.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Nodding, stands up and heads for the door::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
All:  I will be back later....  ::As the doors close behind her, she follows Malane::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CO*: Shall I route him to your Ready Room Sir?
Malane says:
::Enters the turbolift aware that the doctor is following her and waves at her as the doors to the lift close::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Watches Kela get up and sighs slightly, knowing she isn't one to let a mystery go. So he ends up having to chime in:: CMO: The Federation is not an empire, Ambassador. And we do not have subjects. We wish only to help. But that's only if your people want it.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Shakes head::  Malane, not so easy.  *CEO*:  Chief, do me a favor and stop TL 8 between decks::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Amb/CNS: Excuse me a moment. Counselor, please continue for me.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Gets up:: *FCO*: Haynes, this is Ahkileez. Route it down to the comm center down here.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Quickly accesses the correct system. Unlocks the safety and presses stop.:: *CMO*: Done.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CO: And I believe that Captain.  Though there are those among my people who do not...
CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*:  Thanks...
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Looks at the CEO.:: CEO: I wonder what that is all about?
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Makes her way to the next lift and down to sickbay::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CO*: Yes sir.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CEO: Hand me that PADD.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: Here you go.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Exits the conference hall and jogs down to the VIP comm center, keying in his access code to unlock it and activate the lights and environmental controls:: *FCO*: Ready.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Rushes to the TL and orders it to the Comm center.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
*FCO*:  In a moment, I want you to lock onto the life form of our guest, enjoying a visit between decks and beam her to my office.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Ambassador: Is there anything that we can do or offer that would make them feel more at ease?
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CMO*: Um okay Ma'am.  *CEO*: Beam the person in that TL to the CMO's office please.
Malane says:
::Opens the hatch and climbs out while the turbolift is stalled and climbs to the next hatch opening in the next lift as it stops::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Stepping from the TL, enters sickbay and makes her way to her office::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CO*: Yes sir connecting now sir.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
*FCO*:  Initiate transport.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Rushes out of the TL, clutching the PADD to the comm center.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CNS: It is an internal thing Keely.  I'm sure not everyone in the Federation agrees on what you do either.  Correct?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Brings up one of the communications displays and drums his fingernails on the desk impatiently::
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
*CEO*: Transport them now per the CMO.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: *FCO* Will do.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
::Enters the Comm center slightly our of breath clutching the PADD for dear life.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Locks her door and makes her way to the small replicator.::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
Computer: Transport lifeform from TL 8 to sickbay.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::Smiles and nods::  Ambassador: Correct, that is why we try to listen to all parties... even those in minority.  Not only to understand them but to make our Federation a better place for all.
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CO: Captain, I'm sorry about this but...... ::Hands him the PADD.::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Sees the transporter function light up and finish.:: *FCO, CMO* Done.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the padd from her and keys it on::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
CNS: Which is the very reason we brought Malane along.  We are more alike than I thought originally...
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CO: We thought it was important for you to see this.  It indicates that the Ambassador made that communication to the Chodan'Ri.
CMO_Ahkileez says:
Hmmm....  *CEO*:  See if you can get a lock on Malane.  And if not, send security after her.  She can have a tour of our brig as she doesn't like our hospitality.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
Ambassador: How well do you trust Malane?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Runs over to her own station, starts scanning the ship for Malane's signature.::
CMO_Ahkileez says:
~~~~CO:  We may have a problem.~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Doesn't respond right away:: FCO: Are you sure?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
~~~~CMO: What sort of problem, Kela? ~~~~
FCO-Ens-Haynes says:
CO: I think Malane isn't the problem as some think sir.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
