Host SM_Pam says:
The Triton is in orbit around Alde and the shuttle Nokomis has launched with members of the away team to check out the planet and the two scout ships that have landed and are sending a signal out into space. Unfortunately, the shuttle was forced to crash land damaging her communication and engine systems.

Host SM_Pam says:
During the landing, the FCO was knocked unconscious and is out for the count.

Host SM_Pam says:
The signal seems to be directed at the far side of the planet, at the exact opposite coordinates of the Triton's orbit. Sensors have picked up a slight subspace distortion that may indicate a cloaked ship. Can the sensors be correct? Can the brave away team make the repairs to the shuttle in time?

Host SM_Pam says:
The signal being relayed has been decoded and was found it be in the Ferengi language, with two cryptic words. "Landing Successful".  Creepy, isn't it?

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::nods to the EO, sort of disappointed that they're not blowing the ears off the Ferengi... makes the necessary modulation changes... and changes the target to the plasma vent::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods and smiles:: EO: Thank you

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame; If I do that for you Daimon, what amount of that mined substance would be our share?

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: These are drone scouts; Here to collect mineral samples

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::embarrassed::  CMO: Yes ma'am...Brian

SO_Ens_Strull says:
CO:  There are several methods of algorithmic filtering which may be able to compensate for the weakness in the communication signal.  I could attempt to simulate their effects on the signal and offer a possible solution.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods a go ahead to Strull::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@TO: Good I am glad I remembered. ::reaches the main computer area:: TO: Ready to go in?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::begins to boost sensor array to 150% over standard::

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::smiles:: CMO: It might be safer for you, if I go in first. ::holds up the phaser rifle:: May I?

SO_Ens_Strull says:
::nods in kind and turns back to his station, implementing various formulae on the communications string::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Share Captain? I am a fair businessman. I give you ten percent of the profit. ::grins::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@All: let us check the other ship before we head back to the Nokomis

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
::giggles a little:: TO: Of course Brian. ::waits::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::whispers:: CO: I am ready for my first attempt to signal the away team shall I?

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::clips a few wires:: CEO: I don't think Triton is  going to hear us. 

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::knows that he's the Federation way out here:: COM: Rame:  That sounds fair to you?  Daimon, I do believe that's more of an insult than an offer

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@OPS: Let us make it so this ship cannot take off

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Go ahead

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::so wants to share a few charged and launched torpedoes with the Daimon::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
 *CEO*: Commander Jarek, Please respond.

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::slowly opens the door to the main compartment of the shuttle and steps in::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@*TO/CMO*: We are leaving meet us on the flight deck

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::Nods his head:: CEO: Already ahead of you, goes a little deeper into the console and takes a isolinear chip:: self: This might be helpful.

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@*CEO*: Could we check out the main computer first, Commander? We are already here.

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Captain, I offer you a deal. Your people on the planet for the right to take the minerals here. ::leans closer:: Deal?

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@*CMO* : Yes make it quick

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::fully steps into the room and sweeps the room of people, motioning the CMO after him::

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::reroutes a few parameters, laughing and stands up::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@*CEO*: Thank you, Commander. ::looks around the main computer room:: TO: Anything good?

SO_Ens_Strull says:
::attempts to filter out the gamma band of radiation using a rather simple decoding process::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::waits for a few seconds, pretending to consider it::  COM: Daimon: Please let me think about it for a moment Daimon

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@OPS: I choose my people well, yes?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at Telarus to see if it worked::

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@CEO: Yes, Commander.

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@CMO: It appears to be safe..::hesitates:: Ashley, correct?  ::quizzical look comes over him::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO/CMO*: Commander Jarek, are you there? Lieutenant Yates do you read?

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@OPS: Wait,::Hears something:: ::taps his combadge:: *Triton*: Triton this is Jarek do you read

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
CO: ::whispers:: Sir. We could so easily end this conversation with a torpedo. I know it's not exactly Starfleet procedure but... he's so annoying.

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@::hears the COM and taps combadge:: *EO*: This is Lieutenant Yates.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self: There has to be something worth as much to the Federation as to the Ferengi's.  Something of great value. Let's see how bad he really wants it::  CTO: Not now Lt.  ::whispers back::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#::nods to his tactical officer to target the shuttle on the planet::

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::tries listening and thinks::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@TO: And yes it is Ashley. ::smiles::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Sir we have it not strong but enough I am attempting to boost

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: Out lets go now

SO_Ens_Strull says:
::further adjusts the communications encoding, and allows the computer to make manual adjustments from there::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: Are you there Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Daimon:  Daimon Rame, there is something here that you're not telling me

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Find out what they have on those ships, now Ensign!

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::boosts sensor array to 250% over standard::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: Lt. Yates we need a status report

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@:;Taps combadge:: *Triton*: Triton do you read? Acknowledge

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: Out now

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#::grins broadly::   COM: Triton: Why Captain, I think you hewmons do not trust me.

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::smiles back::  CMO: Let's download what they have and get back to the Commander, there may be more data in the other shuttles

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Nomad if he even looks like he's going to fire again, use our phasers to disable him

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@*CMO/TO* : OUT NOW

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@TO: Agreed. *CEO*: We are leaving now, sir. Do you want us to run?

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::eyes light up as if they're the torpedoes themselves:: CO: Yes sir!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame:  If I didn't trust you Daimon, I wouldn't be talking to you.  Level with me...why should we give you the mining rights?

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@*TO*: That is the Idea

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::hears CEO’s voice now::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Get them off Alde as soon as possible

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::makes a face:: CMO: He doesn't sound happy!  ::opens the door quickly and allows Ashley to go first::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@*EO*: One moment, Ensign. ::runs to the CEO's location::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@::Heads for the hatch::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: As you see, I make good deals. See my pretty ship.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: We are getting a weak signal but we have you

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::makes a face, opening the tricorder and putting the circuit board he took from the scout in, and hits the program to try sending the data to Triton::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@::Motions to OPS to head to the hatch::

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::nods his head, watching the tricorder and heads for the hatch::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@::she reaches the CEO rather annoyed that she was yelled at when she was doing her job::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
ACTION: The scout ships engines come online

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::runs out of the shuttle and stands in front of the CEO, when he reaches their position::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@*Triton*: These are drone ships; here to take mineral samples, it appears the Ferengi want to do a bit of mining

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Rame: I see your ship.  Frankly Daimon, I'm not about to give you rights without Federation approval. I can present your case but that's all I can do for now

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@Self: Darn.

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@::hears Oreck:: OPS: Why do you say that?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::hears the last part:: CTO: Tractor those ships.....let's see how badly he wants them

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::whispers:: CO: Sir it's tricky but it just might work, my brother was on an away mission with U.S.S. Don Johnson a few years ago and he told me how he saved the inhabitants of a planet where they had transporter problems from the atmosphere I believe I could pull up on how to set up a transporter lock on them but this will require me to beam down

Host Daimon_Rame says:
#COM: Triton: That is fair. I agree, a deal is a deal so remember this.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: ...to the planet or use another shuttle to get there

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::Grins:: CMO: I was kinda of hoping to get a few more things from their comm. ::Grins::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: I have a bad feeling about this; we need to return to Nokomis

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::has finger near console... ready to press the phaser fire button:: CO: Aye sir... ::turns left hand's focus on tractor beams... tractors the ships::

Host Daimon_Rame says:
ACTION: The Bird of Prey moves off.

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
CO: Fire?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: But the modifications have to be done not only here but on the surface and they don't have the access to the records on the procedure nor the equipment

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@CEO: I'm in agreement there. ::checks the tricorder for the Nokomis's direction::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: No, Lt. Let's see what happens, but keep our weapons ready

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@OPS: As were I from the main computer system ::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Understood, Commander.

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::winking at the fire button, blowing kisses at the fire button, having dreams about the fire button... darn it::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Go Ensign

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
CO: Weapons ready... aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
SO: Mr. Strull, can you scan those scout ships for their data?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I suggest we show him a few of my surprises that I have set up with the Chief

SO_Ens_Strull says:
CO:  I will attempt to scan their databanks, sir.  ::initiates the procedure::

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::nods to the Away Team::  CEO: The shuttles do not appear to be of much significant value...Commander

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: The deception I felt 3 days ago is back in fury, we were in danger aboard that ship

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Not now Ensign, we've got them.  Let's not provoke a confrontation

Host Daimon_Rame says:
ACTION: The two scout ships lift off and head away from the planet.

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@CEO: I have not felt any deception, Commander. You must somehow have a link somehow.

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::boosts power to the tractor beams... making certain he has those scout ships on hold::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@TO: No they are not

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::hears the roar of the scout ships lift off and turns his head to see them ascend into the atmosphere::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: However, now we are

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Lt. Let's make sure we're not caught again.  Target any subspace distortions that happen to "appear"

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@ALL: Ok that is not good.

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::running in the direction of the Nokomis::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@ALL: One kilometer to go

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::follows the AT, every once and awhile looking behind him to make sure no one is sneaking up on them::

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::nods:: CO: Sir. They're remotely controlling those ships. Right now... it's 3 against 1.

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@::keeps running wondering why they can't walk::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Understood Lt.  ::looks over to the SO:: SO: Ens.  Any luck with those readings?

SO_Ens_Strull says:
CO:  Aside from the drone programming, the computer banks of the scout vessels do not appear to store any pertinent information.

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@Self: definitely Ferengi. The lengths they will go to for wealth.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::makes adjustments and has Engineering make other adjustments to the Transporter system and load a shuttle with equipment for modifications::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
::cut up a bunch of wires and swiped a circuit board::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
SO: Understood. 

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::can see the shuttle in the far distance::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
COM: U.S.S. Quirinus: This is the U.S.S. Triton requesting to speak to Lt. JG David Telarus

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Let them go.  We'll find out what it was before they come back

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@::Sees the Nokomis ::

CTO_Lt_Nomad says:
::nods to the CO... ::

CMO_LtJG_Yates says:
@::runs ahead of everyone and reaches the Nokomis before everyone::

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@::Nears the Nokomis and waits for the rest of the AT::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: I will see take the communication with me to the shuttle sir let's hope this works

OPS_LtJG_Oreck says:
@::swipes the circuit board from the tricorder to the comm on Nokomis as soon as he reaches it and tries reaching the triton again::

TO_LtJG_Anderson says:
@::reaching the shuttle last, he looks behind him one last time:: CEO: I do not believe we were followed by anyone...we should be ok for now

CEO_Cmdr_Jarek says:
@::Enters the Nokomis::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Understood Ensign

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::gets in TL:: TL: Shuttle Bay

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The Nokomis takes off from Alde, sailing effortlessly though the atmosphere this time, heading home.
