OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::on the bridge listening to the Cardassians babble on, wishing they had at least some decent music to listen to::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::waits for his relief to reach his side and then, briefing him, turns the station over to him as he gets up, moving for the command center::
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: steps out of the turbo lift onto the bridge with his coffee in hand, crosses to one of the science consoles and takes a seat ::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::bypasses the command center, mostly as an excuse to not have to sit there, and moves down towards the OPS/flight console::
FCO_Lt_Myers:
XO: We will be arriving to the planet in about 15 minutes sir.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sitting on Bridge watching the viewscreen:: OPS: Contact the planet and let them know we will be arriving in 15 minutes. Also get permission to take up standard orbit of the planet when we arrive.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::contacts the planet and tells them::
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: sits drinking his coffee watching the others go about their duties ::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Also do not say anything to them about the Cardassians being with us.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::glances up at the viewscreen, on which he'd previously placed an overlay of their two uninvited Cardassian friends for easy observation::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: notices the Doctor sitting at one of the science consoles:: CMO: Doc I hope that you have some good news for me.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: I think they'll notice...but I'll keep mum.  Also the planet gave us clearing for a parking orbit and for us to await a message from the governor to everyone
CMO_Ens_House says:
XO: I do, the replicator is finally making decent coffee. ::takes another drink of his::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Roger put it on screen when it gets here.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: If that is all the good news you have I really don't want to hear the bad news.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::moves back towards the command center, and towards Twelk:: XO: Commander, I'd strongly recommend you not beam down without at least a couple security personnel. If there is instability down there, you may need the backup.
CMO_Ens_House says:
XO: No bad news.  Our CO is basking in the light of the ultra violet dermal lamp...blue is his color, he remains stable.  As for your request on whether this was done on purpose you will have to find that Cardassian armor

ACTION: Both ships are arriving at to the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I will take that under advisement but will see what the governor has to say first.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::nods, then glances back over to where his junior officer's stationed:: TO: T'Lorn, have the TIC keep two on standby. Just in case.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: Unfortunately I believe the Cardassian is still wearing it.
TO_Ens_T'Lorn says:
::nods once, in response to her lieutenant, then directs her attention center:: XO: We are approaching the planet, commander.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: Sir, there is a message from the Carddys to the planet and they got a response back.  I don't think anyone is going to be surprised they are here.
CMO_Ens_House says:
XO: I am easy, just not cheap.  I will settle for his right arm, attached or not what ever is easiest on security
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Can you have one of your personal inform the Ambassador that the governor will be addressing us and he might want to be present on the bridge.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
Self: So much for a peaceful introduction.

ACTION: The Cardassian Galor class vessel is taking a parking orbit around the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Very good at least they know that they are here now
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
FCO: Put us in orbit.
FCO_Lt_Myers:
:: moves the ship into a parking orbit::  XO: Doing so now.
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::before anyone can contact him, the hulking Klingon steps out of the turbolift, his massive frame taking up much more space than most would expect... including the young crewman who very nearly ends up flattened by his path towards the center of the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the Ambassador come on the bridge:: AMB: I see you got the message.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Are the other 2 Cardassian ship still 18 hours out?
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: Sir, I've received a request for visual transmission and they want to know if we are ready
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::just glares at the first officer as he stops next to him, not even bothering to seem surprised:: XO: I received no message. I cannot conduct my business where you have assigned me. It is far too humid. This is not Vulcan....
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Roger inform them that we are.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::glances over at T'Lorn, and at her nod, turns back to Twelk:: XO: They are, sir. Haven't made an attempt to test us.
CMO_Ens_House says:
AMB: Actually Vulcan is a desert :: takes another drink of his coffee ::
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::informs that they are ready::
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: Channel open, it's also being sent to the Cardies.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
AMB: You will have to chalk that problem up to the Vulcans I just sent word to you that the Governor will be contacting us and that you might want to be on the bridge when they do.
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::ignores the doctor in favor of picking a spot at random, about 2 inches above the OPS officer's right shoulder, to glare daggers::

ACTION: The view screen comes up with the Governor.

OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::feels a hulking presence and looks up...up...all the way up at the huge Klingon standing right over her....and grins up at him before looking back at teh viewscreen::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::nods to OPS:: CTO: keep and eye on what those 2 incoming Cardassian ship do after the announcement.
Gov_Taylor says:
@COM: Cardassian/Sharikahr: Thank you both for coming.  On behalf of the people of Setlik III, we welcome you.  A feast has been prepared for all - Federation, Klingon, and Cardassian.  Please join us.  I look forward to meeting each of you, and please feel free to bring guests and your crew.  ::grinning and spreading his arms in welcome::  We are ready to receive you at your leisure.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
XO: Anyone twitches, it'll hurt, sir. And probably not us.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Are we able to speak with them?
Gov_Taylor says:
@COM: Cardassian/Sharikahr: You may contact me separately if arrangements are needed.  I will hope to see you all soon.

ACTION: The transmission is over and the view screen goes off.

OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: I received the transportation coordinates.  It was sent only.  but I can try and raise him again.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: looks at the screen:: Self: I guess not.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
All: Well it looks like we have been invited to a feast.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
Outloud: Awesome...cause I'm starved!
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
All: I'll triple security. ::outwardly, smirking... but inwardly, is way too used to invitations going horribly wrong::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Contact the Governor and inform him that there will be a delegation from the Sharikahr down shortly.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
XO: Aye sir.
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::contacts with the Shari's RSVP::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::makes a motion to T'Lorn, and takes the station back as she gets up and leaves the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
AMB: When ever you are ready to transport down let us know.
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::mutters something about the human need for formalities:: XO: I am ready now. ::nearly snarls it out::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
OPS: Seeing how you are eager to get something to eat would you care to accompany me?
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::pulls out his communicator, and signals for his aides to meet them in the transporter room::
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::practically leaps up out of her chair:: XO: You betcha! ::signals for a junior officer to take over::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: See that the proper security is in the transporter room for us along with all other security measures.
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: puts his coffee cup in the replicator and prepares to follow the rest,:: Himself: Never know who is going to food poisoning on one of these things
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
XO: Aye sir. Be advised as well the Cardassians have sent two to the surface.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
XO: Would you like me to deploy with the team, or remain here?
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Understood as soon as you have everything ready feel free to join us.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::decides he should have just stayed quiet, but gets up anyway, signals the TIC to send a security team to the transporter room, and to send someone to the bridge for his relief::
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::watches with a steely gaze as everyone else gets ready to leave... there was no preparation necessary for him or his aides; they would live, or die, as necessary on this day::

ACTION: Krak and Ba'leth receive K'Ruck's message and leave for the transporter room.

XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: orders the TL to transporter room one once everyone is inside::
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: gets in the turbo lift::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::slips into the lift as one of the last, and checks his hand phaser's settings as he does... hey, on this ship, that's just common sense::
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::follows along with everyone else...bouncing like a puppy with excitement::

ACTION: The OPS almost trips over her own feet from the excitement.

OPS_Ens_Apple says:
::giggles quietly and hops along::
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::stands at the very back of the lift as it makes its way downward, taking up what's left of the space there::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::watches Apple nearly quite literally hit the deck, and has to forcefully push away a smile... and here he thought the academy didn't come out with that kind of officer anymore::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: waits for the turbolift to stop and heads for the Transporter room::
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: tries to take short breaths until the turbolift reaches the transporter room, the O'de la Klingon in the lift it a bit much::

ACTION: The turbolift stops and the doors open. and a crewman sees the door open and notices the crowd and walks away.

CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps out of the lift shortly behind Twelk, the Klingon ambassador having to wait for everyone else to clear so as to not generate a long list of senior road kill::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: moves to the transporter room and watches as everyone enters::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I want you to transport down with the Ambassador and his group first.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
XO: Aye sir. By the time you're down, my men will be in place.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: That is the ideal.
CMO_Ens_House says:
XO: I volunteer to transport down in whatever group doesn't have the ambassador, might be better for my health :: smirks at the Klingon behind the XO's back ::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::moves ahead of the others, and further into the transporter room, joining the ambassador and his aides... a hand signal to his security team has them ready for instant deployment::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
AMB: If you and your aides will please take your places
Krak says:
Amb: We are ready.
Ba'leth says:
::nods to the Ambassador::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CMO: You will transport down with Ensign Apple and myself.
Amb_K'Ruck says:
::just nods, then has to just barely suppresses a snarl as the security officers take their places as well::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: nods to the transporter controller once the Ambassador and his group is in place::

ACTION: Five minutes later everyone has transported down to the planet.

@ACTION: As the crew beam down, once they materialize they see a great many people are all busy, lounging and watching the new arrivals. The room is quite large with tables lining the walls all filled with all different kinds of ginger foods from every walk of life.

Nurse_Betty says:
*CMO*: Doctor, Sickbay to Doctor House.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: looks around as they materialize checking on where his personal are::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::watches from his vantage point as the last of the team beams down, nodding as his officers have already found themselves places out of the way but with plenty of view over their new scenery::
CMO_Ens_House says:
@*Nurse*: This is House
Nurse_Betty says:
*CMO*: Doctor, some of the Captain's brain functions are starting to show activity.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::steps away from a wall against which he'd been leaning, and makes his way towards Twelk:: XO: I've got the place covered well enough, commander. Someone sneezes we should be able to tell you who, where, how many times and in which direction.
CMO_Ens_House says:
@*Nurse*: I am on my way :: taps his combadge and requests to be beamed directly to sickbay ::

@ACTION: Off a short distance, the crew sees two Cardassians talking to a man that looks like the Governor

XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@CTO: Good  keep a close eye on the Ambassador as well.
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@OPS: Ensign if you will accompany me we will introduce ourselves to the Governor.
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@XO: We have him sir. He and his aides have found themselves a table across the room. ::points in the general direction of the Klingons::
CTO_Lt_Arinoch says:
@::nods once as Twelk turns his attention to their new operations officer, and he moves back to his previous position to observe::
OPS_Ens_Apple says:
@XO: Awesome!

ACTION: The CMO is transported straight to sickbay.

Amb_K'Ruck says:
@::gets up from where he'd been sitting, and nods to his aides before making his way across the room, and towards where the governor has himself positioned::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: heads toward the where the Cardassians and Governor are::
CMO_Ens_House says:
:: moves directly to the CO's biobed after materializing and begins to look over the medical scanners for changes::
Gov_Taylor says:
@::looks up and sees the men in Starfleet uniforms and motions them all over::  XO: Over here. I was jut talking to the Gul here.
Amb_K'Ruck says:
@::moves to stand a few feet from where the Starfleet officers have gathered, his aides standing on either side with their arms crossed::
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@:: moves up besides the Governor:: Taylor: Really and what has our friendly Gul had to say?
CMO_Ens_House says:
Nurse: These increases are minimal but if his higher brain functions increase by more than 5% begin decreasing the cortical stimulation and notify me immediately
Gul_Jakor says:
@XO: I was hoping to meet your captain again, were is he?
XO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
@Gul: He is currently dealing with some Starfleet matters and will hopefully join us shortly.

ACTION: The medical console beeps.

Amb_K'Ruck says:
@::just glares at the Cardassian, and takes a single step forward, motioning for his aides to remain where they are... at least for right now::
