::Waiting for the TL to arrive at the bridge:: Self: Man the tactical station, your telling me on the ship the size of the Luna they do not have a tactical officer with at least a little more experience then me.  ::Seriously hopes he remember what buttons to push if the need arises::

@All: Please be seated and partake of some refreshments.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen: Thank you.  ::Walks to the table and takes a seat::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Well sir, I have a heading, well more of a general direction, not an exact location.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CMO: You are a doctor I believe?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen:  Yes, I am the ship's main medical practitioner.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The distress call continues to repeat.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::takes a seat at the table and continues to look around::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen:  If we have time, I would appreciate viewing your hospital.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CMO: You might enjoy a tour of our medical facilities after your meal. We have the best hospital on the planet right here in the capital.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Glances at the captain in my periphery vision to see if he starts to eat::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: If we'd go this direction, we'd have to run into it eventually sir, not sure how long we could keep contact with the away team though.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen:  I would enjoy that very much.  Perhaps we could share some medical information.
 
CIV_Thorin says:

@CMO: Ask what you wish to know and our doctors will be happy to accommodate you.

@Self:  If you say so, but I wouldn't mind scanning it. ::Smiles at the queen and reaches for a red fruit::
 
FCO_Chottu says:

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CO*: Captain we are getting ready to check out the distress signal. I am leaving Lt. Barlow with a shuttle in orbit just in case you finish before we return
 
Queen_Alara says:
@:;looks over at the Captain:: CO: Now Captain, we do need to speak of the matter at hand. You know of course about the war?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Self: If the captain doesn't eat soon I'll have to!
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks at the piece of plump fruit, takes a breath and bites into it.  The juices dribble down a little::

FCO: have you any ideal how far the signal is away
 
CIV_Thorin says:
:: Initializes the Tactical Sensor Array, and pulls up a tactical display of the system::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  Why were you in such a hurry to get us down here only to talk pleasantries?  I thought someone in this system wanted to negotiate a cease fire?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Eyes widen in appreciation and I dab at my juicy mouth;;  Mutters: This is delicious!

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Wow, the captain is very direct!  Hope the queen doesn't take exception::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Forgive me Captain if that is the impression you got, but I was anxious to meet with the esteemed Federation Captain Loran. :;smiles sweetly::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger Lt. engage course at warp one

 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  And how have you heard of me, your highness?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: keep an eye out for any other ships Cadet
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Aye sir, warp one. ::takes the Titan to warp one, heading in the direction of the signal::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks over at the queen when she used that tone of voice.  Self:  What is she up to?
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Captain, your reputation proceeds you. My trusted aides have informed me of you and your fine ship.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Self:  Exactly...how has she?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I'm not sure how you got information on Starfleet personnel and ships, but, there are far more finer ships than mine that have done so much more.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Initializes forward array, attempting to lock onto the source of the signal, either that or he ordered a Romulan Ale from Ten forward, can't quite be sure which::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: You are much to modest Captain, but that too was told to me. ::smiles:: Now we must talk about Pyran ll.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Clears throat:: Queen:  This fruit is delicious!  What do you call this?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Self:  Geez, could she come on any stronger?
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::looks up from his console:: OPS: Sir, the signals readings show we're definitely heading in the right direction and are closing in.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Picking up a Nebula, 5 minutes out, too dense for conclusive scans, at least at this range sir.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  Yes, lets talk about Pyran 2 and its population and the war between your two planets.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::looks at the doctor:: CMO: That is a Sheo or an apple as you might call it.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger Lt. go ahead and take us out of warp when we get near it

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen:  What region does it come from?  ::Reaches for another piece::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Attempts to focus the forward sensor array on the Nebula::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: can you determine whether the signal is coming from there or not?
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Preliminary scans show our shields would be ineffective inside the nebula.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@:;turns back to the Captain:: CO: Pyran ll. has been attacking us for some time now, and they are gaining a strong foothold outside the city. They have damaged my energy plants and the manufacturing sector of the planet, plunging the economy into chaos. You must help us to prevent any further damage.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Uncertain as to exact origin, but someplace inside the Nebula is a good bet.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Also SIR ::looks at the cadet and then back at the commander::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Our sensors will most likely be very limited and we'll have impulse power only.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: They are grown all over the tropical zones of the planet doctor. Our scientists can give you more information if you desire.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: roger Cadet and thanks. FCO: hold us just outside the nebula for the moment
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The distress call changes in tone, sounds more urgent, what words can be heard.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen:  Yes, thank you I would like that.  ::Smiles very sweetly back::
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks about the room, with security in mind::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I had not realized that they had invaded your planet.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Aye sir, we'll drop out of warp and go to full stop when we get there.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Captain, they have operatives everywhere. Raiding parties strike at will and create fear and distrust among my people.

 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Initializes an active sweep scan of the surrounding space, not wanting anything to sneak up on them while they are looking at this Nebula::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: Cadet run a full sensor scan of the nebula before we enter
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: ETA to the nebula is 1 minute sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: roger Lt.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::His Tactical Simulations class is beginning to come back to him, at least a little, for the rest he will rely on common sense::
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks down at his plate, and rolls over some round food... and eats some strange noodle like food... hmm...::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CTO: Is there something of concern? I see you watching the room so closely. I can assure you that you and your people are perfectly safe here for the time being.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  So, they are just small bands of raiders?  Not a full blown army.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: boost COM signal trying to get more from the signal::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CTO:  Try the red fruit.  It's delicious.  It's called Shea? ::Looks at the queen to see if that was right::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: No indication of a ship from this distance, but the sensors can only penetrate so far, I estimate we can see .1% of the nebula from the outside.
 
CTO_Williams says:
Queen: Oh no, your majesty, I was admiring the Decor... very nice.. ::Smiles, and bites down on some crunchy food, and hides a face of bemusement::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::drops the Titan out of warp:: OPS: We're there sir. ::has the Titan go to full stop::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: We believe that they are merely a scouting party, with the main battle force to follow as soon as we have been demoralized enough. My ministers are gravely concerned.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
:: looking at system readings and tries to determine where they were::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::nods to the CMO and the CTO::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: roger Lt. take us in slow
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  How long has this little war been going on?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Watches the CTO for any signs of illness::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: pounds on console frustrated that he can't get any more from the signal::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Aye sir, taking us in quarter impulse. ::engages impulse engines at quarter impulse::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Chief any way you can boost sensors would be helpful
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: We have been under attack for some ten years now, but recently they have become bolder and more frequent in their attacks. My people are suffering greatly. Many have died and many more are badly wounded. I pray that you and your Federation can save us Captain.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Notices his console is flooded with echoes as the sensor signals begin to bounce back erratically::
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Coughs.:: Queen: The food is... most acceptable to my pallet.. ::Smiles again, putting his best diplomatic face on::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: do you still have the signal?
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  What started this war?
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CTO: You may have anything you wish to eat, or perhaps you would like to tour our security cells and detention areas. Our armory might be of special interest to a man of your skills. ::smiles again::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the Titan enters the nebula, the sensor disturbances can be seen on the viewscreen as it starts to fill with intermittent static.
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Lights up..:: Queen: I would be most fascinated by your technology, and how you've adapted to this environment.  At your time of course.. ::Bites down on the recommended "Fruit" and notices that it doesn't taste "THAT" bad...::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Self:  Now she is trying to get the CTO away from the captain. ::Keeps smiling and eating.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Initializes the filter protocols to attempt to clear the signals::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: any thing on sensors Cadet
 
CTO_Williams says:
@CO: As long as that's alright with you captain... ::Grunts in manner only a true tactical officer could pull off, and smiles at Queen::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Something dead ahead, another ten minutes, could be a ship, or a large pocket of dense matter reflecting our signal
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Pryan ll. was a colony of  Pyran lll, but it soon became a Mecca for political discontents who were upset with the way my ministers ran Pryan lll. They wanted to take over my world so began their attacks. Captain, they are a savage people who would kill their own families to achieve their ends.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: roger.  FCO : you getting the same thing
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: The signal's still there SIR ::looks at the cadet and then back at the commander:: OPS: It's coming from whatever it is the Cadet found.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::takes a drink from her goblet and sits back::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Shields have ceased to function.  ::Wonders if it is his place to recommend Red Alert::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  So, in a way, your ministers are the ones that started this war.  How long have you been the Queen?
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: roger take us to red alert
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: take us to with in transporter range and hold
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Thinks to himself, ok Alert Status, then initialize, then Red, no initialize, alert, then red::
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
:: notices no change in power systems::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::keys in the sequence and brings the ship to Red Alert::
 
Host Bafii (alert.wav)
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* understood, I'll get on that..

Queen_Alara says:
 @CO: My ministers did not start this war Captain, and I do not like your attitude. You were asked to assist us were you not? Now you insult me and my ministers? ::wrinkles her brow:: I was elected Queen 20 years ago
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Aye sir, I'm not sure what the nebula will do to the transporters though.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Wonders who thought up these colors, Red is such a nice peaceful color, why would anyone use it to signify high alert.::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Chief I also need you to make sure the transporter will work in this nebula
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Notices the agitation... maybe I WON'T be getting a tour...::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: roger Lt. I have the CEO checking that now
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks down and picks up another bite.  Smiles briefly.  Self:  Ouch, the captain is very direct.  Maybe it will cool her down.
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Crunches down on some weird crunchy meat thing...:: All: Yum...
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: A ship can faintly be seen on the Titan's viewscreen.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: see what you can get on that ship
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::watches the Captain closely to gage his reaction::
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* I doubt it, the nebula has a nullifying effect, that's why the shields failed.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Aye ::Attempts a detailed Scan, even though he knows it will be useless::
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* well I think I could get them to work if I boost power from the engines
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: thanks Chief:: swears under breath::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: We've reached transporter range, communications are clearing up as well sir. Holding position.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I'm just trying to figure out what caused this war so I can try and bring it to a peaceful solution.  And I did not say they started the war, I merely stated that they could have a reason the war was started.  You did say that they were upset with the way your ministers ran your planet.  That can be a reason why they started the war.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : stay on it Chief
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Reaches for my drink and pretends to drink.  Watches both the captain and the queen and still "listens" hard for any emotions::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: Getting positive readings on life signs, and what appears to be battle damage, unsure of the type of weapons used with all this interference.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Captain, may we speak in private without your subordinates present?
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Nods his head to the CMO, and wishes for a moment he was telepathic... but settles for facial gestures instead... Ryan shows a perplexed look on his face...."what do we do?":
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Self:: Subordinates?! ::Tries not to look aggravated::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
CIV: are you able to identify the ship
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: My guess is we could just hail them from here sir.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
:: starts the take small amounts from engines to sensors and transporter functions::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks at CTO and widens eyes.  Shakes my head "no" ever so briefly::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Tries to catch the captain's eye::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: roger Lt. and thanks:: opens hailing frequencies::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: The vessel appears to be from Pyran II
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Returns a continued perplexed look to the CMO..."What?"::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  They are part of this negotiation party.  What you have to say you can say to them as well.

OPS_McDuggle says:
COM: unidentified Vessel: This Is the Titan we are here to help
 
Host Bafii says:
<Vessel> COM: Titan:  This is the...  severe damage from a....  systems heavily damaged...
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::frowns:: Self: Ah, that explains.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Exhales softly and relaxes.  Tries to "send" worry to first the captain and then the CTO::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
COM: Vessel: we will do what we can
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Forgive me Captain, I just thought as the leaders of our peoples, a private meeting might prove more useful. I am sure the good doctor and your chief of security are most trustworthy, but there are some things that only leaders may know. I know your doctor understands what I mean. CMO: Don't you doctor? ::smiles half heatedly::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief is the tractor beam operative
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Gives the CTO another casual look to see if he caught the feeling.  Then looks at the captain to see if he reacts::
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Seems startled a moment, overwhelmed by a thought of worry::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: if it is possible we will try and tow the vessel out of this nebula
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* Yes... it's operative.... will it work in this nebula...No... it's to dense.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: roger any luck on the transporters :: swears under breath again::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Queen: Yes, I understand exactly.  But the captain makes decisions and I follow them. ::Smiles very sweetly again to the queen::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: I would consider it a personal favor Captain if you would agree to this small request.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: If we could use the tractor beam sure sir..
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks around the room, and realizes the CMO once said something about being telepathic, looks over at the CMO, still puzzled... once again::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Suddenly, the damaged vessel, now prominently on screen, explodes in a bright flash of light.  The explosion rocks the Titan but doesn't do any serious damage.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* yes, we should have limited use...
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Sits and looks at the CO, and back to the Queen, wondering what to do next, while beginning to get a faint attraction to the strange red food on the corner of his plate::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::sees the ship explode:: CIV: scan for life signs
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::motions to her aides:: Aides: The good doctor and her friend wish to visit our facilities. Please see to their every need.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@::feels some kind of emotion pass over him and briefly looks at the doctor, thinking something came from her::  Queen:  Then why tell me at all.  I have higher ranking officers that I have to report to as well.  I can order them to not repeat what is heard in this room.  I'm sure they will need to know this information to help in the negotiations.
 
CIV_Thorin says:
::Blinks has his display goes white, and the sensors are blinded by the flash::
 
CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks worried again, and looks over at the CMO, looking worried, wondering what she wants::
 
CIV_Thorin says:
OPS: No survivors detected, sir.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: set a course out of here Lt.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Captain, you represent your people do you not?
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::pauses a second:: OPS: Aye sir.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks incredulous and then looks at the captain in disbelief::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Then it is with you I shall speak.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I represent the Titan.  The Doctor here represent the medical staff and the Lt. represents the tactical staff.
