CTO Wakefield says:
:: On bridge at tactical, continuing to scan the area ::

FCO Lane says:
:: At her station running a sensor sweep for any ships in the area ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: At OPS, monitoring ship systems ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Looking over the fallen equipment ::

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The console that has fallen over is quite dusty ... but has wires still attached to the main power generator, and probably works.

CEO McGregor says:
:: On deck 2 in the secondary EPS control room doing some much needed maintenance ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Monitoring subspace beacon on XO and CNS ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: On the bridge, leaning to the right, resting her chin in her right palm ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Standing at SCI I monitoring ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Looking around, and trying to figure things out ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Walks onto the bridge after leaving sickbay and looks around ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM:CO: We've found the power source and it does seem to be Vulcan technology.  Request permission to beam down our CTO to decipher?

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Yes, he'll come as soon as he is in costume

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to Dathan ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods to CO, turns to Doctor::  CMO:  Doc, I need a makeover and quickly.

CEO McGregor says:
*CO* Captain I'm going to have to shut down the secondary EPS conduits on deck 2 for a short time, the main secondary conduit is showing some signs of fatigue.

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM:CO: Understood.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* Acknowledged

CMO Delar says:
CTO:  May I ask why, sir?

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  I'm going down to the planet.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads towards turbolift ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Walks over to the control panel and shuts the secondaries down ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Overhears the CTO ::

CMO Delar says:
Self: I just got here...

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Becca, can you make anything out of this?

CMO Delar says:
:: Walks back into the lift :: TL: Sickbay.

CNS Becca says:
@XO:  No Sir, i can't Sam, this is all foreign to me!

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  Sorry I haven't had time to introduce myself formally Doctor.  Dathan Wakefield, CTO.
:: Offers hand while in turbolift ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Grabs his Engineering scanner and begins his scan of the secondary conduits ::

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Justin, see if you can get a lock on that energy signature that those computers are giving off. I want to get a good look.

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: Aye, sir.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Alright.  I just requested the CTO to join us.  He's can read the Vulcan alphabet.

CMO Delar says:
:: Shakes the tactical officers hand ::  CTO: Lon Delar, Chief Medical Officer...

CEO McGregor says:
:: Finds 2 misaligned couplings at junction EP126 ::

CNS Becca says:
@XO: Alright Sam

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  Welcome aboard.  :: Steps out of turbolift as it arrives on deck 12 and heads for sickbay ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Notices the secondary systems go offline ::  *CEO*: How long will the secondary systems be down?

CMO Delar says:
:: Follows the CTO and enters sickbay ::   Yolania: We need to do some cosmetic surgery, immediately...

CTO Wakefield says:
*OPS*:  Lieutenant, I'll be needing a costume similar to Commander Kelson’s as soon as possible.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Sits on biobed ::

CEO McGregor says:
*FCO*: About an hour lass, I have found 2 misaligned couplings down here, pass it on to the Captain will you

OPS Brehgorn says:
Computer:  Have Sick Bay replicator replicate an outfit similar to outfits from the group of Terran’s on the planet surface.

CMO Delar says:
:: Grabs a hypo and a dermal regenerator ::

FCO Lane says:
*CEO*: Thanks, I will.

Host AGM Selan says:
<Computer> OPS: Acknowledged. :: Replicates the said outfit ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CTO* A costume should be ready in the Sickbay replicator.

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Sees if he can find the cause of the equipment failure ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Glances over ::   *OPS*:  Thank you Lieutenant I see it.

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The cause remains obvious ... the other consoles were smashed and torn apart ... the one console knocked over is the sole one intact.

CMO Delar says:
:: Begins working with some dermatiraelian plastacine, and begins altering the CTO's features ::

FCO Lane says:
CO: Captain, Engineering reports that the secondary systems will be down for about an hour. Couplings have to be realigned.

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS*: The secondary EPS conduits are off line, do not reroute any power through them until my ok

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO*: Gotcha, Mac.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Will it affect transporters or any other systems?

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Do you think the Terran’s did this damage, or the so-called "Demons"?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Waits while the Doc transforms his features ::

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton> CSO: I think I have it.

FCO Lane says:
CO: No Captain, primary systems are up and running at this time.

CMO Delar says:
:: Has the nurse give Wakefield a more reddish, auburn color hair ::

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Let's see it.

CNS Becca says:
@XO: They could have done this out of meanness or just to catch the others.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   FCO:  Thank you

CSO Trelan says:
<Hilton>:: Sends the signature to the main console ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Nods to the Captain ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Realigns the first couplings…mumbles::   Self: Bloody Starbase engineers, kids fresh out of the academy I think.

CMO Delar says:
:: Covers up the goatee and changes the general appearance of his nose and face ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Well, if the Terran’s did this, let's stay on our toes for possible company.

CTO Wakefield says:
Self:  Man, it took quite some time to perfect that goatee.

CNS Becca says:
@XO: Fine with me....

CSO Trelan says:
:: Checks monitor ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Uses the dermal regenerator to give him a small scar under the chin ::   CTO: All done, sir...

CSO Trelan says:
CO: It is definitely Vulcan. Still having trouble what kind of signature it is.

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  Thanks Doctor.  :: Walks over to replicator and grabs the clothing ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Realigns the second coupling ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Using his rudimentary Vulcan alphabetic skills, attempts to bring up databanks within the only working console ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Stops for a sec to look at his reflection in a panel ::

CTO Wakefield says:
Self:  Hmmm.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks over shoulder at Dru ::    CSO: Thank you, keep working on it, please

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads for turbolift ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Taps his comm badge ::    *CO*: Ensign Delar to Captain Royce...

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The console flickers on after the XO picks it up, rights it ... and flicks the appropriate switch ... the screen flickers.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Enters turbolift ::    Computer:  Deck Six, transporter room one.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Give me some power through the main secondary EPS conduits at 15 % will you please nice and easy

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO* Royce here...

CMO Delar says:
:: Leaves sickbay and head for the nearest Turbolift, med kit in hand ::    Turbolift: Bridge.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Hey!  Beginner's luck!

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Exits turbolift and walks to transporter room ::

CMO Delar says:
*CO*: Captain, if it is convenient, I would like to meet with you in private as soon as possible...

CNS Becca says:
@:: Looks around and watches our backs, and just keeps eyes on everything.::    XO: I seen that, maybe you can figure something out ::

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The flickering stops ... and the Vulcan IDIC symbol appears.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Here you go, Mac.  :: Runs power through the main secondary EPS conduits at 15 % ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Enters transporter room and slips into back, changes into civilian clothes ::

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO* I have a few moments; meet me in my ready room.

CMO Delar says:
*CO*: Understood, Delar out.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Grabs a tricorder and slips it under his cloak ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands ::   FCO:  You have the bridge, Hope

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The IDIC symbol is replaced by a dozen sets of Vulcan sentences ... to the right of each sentence is a series of what appears to be numbers, perhaps dates?

FCO Lane says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to ready room ::

CTO Wakefield ::steps up onto trans[porter pad::  Transporter Operator:  Energize (TRANSPRT.wav)

Host CO Royce says:
:: Enters ready room ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Walks over to the XO, and looks over his shoulder ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Materializes on planet ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Exits the turbolift and crosses the small space to the ready room and presses the chime ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Heads over to the console and raises the power flow to 50 % ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Goes to replicator and gets a Raktajino ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CNS: Well, now we can get to business...

FCO Lane says:
:: Stands and has another ensign cover her station and heads over to the CO's chair ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: spies XO and CNS ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Over here Wake…

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:   Come in

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* I 'm going to give her some gas now, you should show 50 % on the secondaries

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Take a gander at this console

CNS Becca says:
@XO:  Alright Sam, whenever you are ready...   Hey, Wake...

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Heads towards them ::    @XO:  Here…   :: hands him a tricorder ::    XO: Thought you might want this.

CMO Delar says:
:: Enters the ready room and looks around ::    CO: Captain...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns from the replicator ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* I've got my eyes open

CSO Trelan says:
:: Runs all known signatures and possibilities with the main computer ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Nods at CNS ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Yes, doc, what can I do for you?

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Takes a look at the Vulcan machinery ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Thank you.  :: Sticks it under his costume in case they are discovered ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Wonders who that officer in the blue shirt was ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves to her chair, motions Doc to have a seat ::

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* I'm sittin’ on this thing if she starts to go shut her down will you lad?

CMO Delar says:
CO: Sir, I'd like to discuss a time for you to have a physical done...and I'd like to ask you about Doctor Tymes...

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Your in safe hands.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Rolls her eyes... ::   CMO:  Physical?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Everything’s looking good so far.

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Safe hands and single-malt highland Scotch go a long way

CMO Delar says:
CO: Yes sir...as a Medical Officer you should know their importance in keeping a healthy and efficient crew.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: There seems to be numerical references, possibly dates corresponding to these sentences.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO*: We'll have to test that theory one of these days, Mac.

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO/CNS: This panel says "Databank three".  The list on the screen looks like log entries.

FCO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Brehgorn::   OPS: Have the secondary systems started to come back on line yet?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::    CMO: You've been doing your homework, Lon...

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Aye laddie, indeed we will.

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO: Stand by.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Can you pull them up?

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  Aye.  :: Punches a few commands in ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: Yes Captain...

CNS Becca says:
@:: Waits and watches around ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  What about Dr. Tymes?

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* We close to getting the systems back on line, Mac?

CEO McGregor says:
*CO*: The secondary EPS system is back to 100 % Captain, ready if needed.

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: The first log entry appears, it's a recording of a Vulcan ... he wears peculiar, elder, Vulcan robes.

Host CO Royce says:
*CEO* Thank you Lance.

OPS Brehgorn says:
FCO: Did you catch that?

CEO McGregor says:
*OPS* Back on line.

FCO Lane says:
OPS: I did, thank you.

CMO Delar says:
CO: I would like to get your personal opinion of the Doctor. I know she has worked for you in the past...sir.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Looks at screen intently ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Heads down the jefferies tube towards the turbolift ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  Here we go...

CNS Becca says:
@:: Looks at the screen then at the XO and CTO ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   CMO:  She is a competent doctor, though her beside manner needs some work.  Is there a problem with her?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Decides to tap into the away team's tricorders to get a good look at what they are seeing ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO/CNS: Could be a spiritual leader in charge of a splinter group of Vulcans.      :: Turns on tricorder to feed to ship ::

Host Soviak says:
@:: Speaks in Vulcan language, but the CTO should understand :: "Our experiments have ended ... preparations for evacuation have begun. Unfortunately, our attempts to extinguish the test subjects have failed. These 'Earthlings,' are more resilient than we thought ... the day that their race acquire warp travel should be interesting."

CMO Delar says:
CO: Not as of yet sir, but I am concerned about the effectiveness of my staff in light of her attitude...

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Repeats the Vulcan's words to the XO and CNS ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: So it was before First Contact with the Vulcans.

FCO Lane says:
*CEO*: By the way, there's a slight problem with the helm maneuvering controls. Can you come up and take a look?

CEO McGregor says:
:: Enters TL for the bridge ::   Computer : Bridge

Host Soviak says:
@:: Continues speaking in Vulcan :: "They have rebelled against us, the captors. We shall leave them to fend for themselves ... as they have proved to be strong, they may actually survive in this climate. I wish them luck. End log."

CSO Trelan says:
:: Sees the Vulcan elder on his console, but doesn't understand what he is saying ::

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: Viewscreen reverts back to log listing.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  I've not had any complaints when I was CMO.  You are in charge of that department now.  You need to handle the situation if it becomes a problem.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO: Download the rest of the logs and let’s return to the ship.

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO: Aye. Your tricorder?    :: Holds out hand ::

Host AGM Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the entranceway to the chamber busts open ... nine men enter.

CMO Delar says:
CO: I am aware of that sir...I'm just…   :: Pauses :: I just don't know what to do...

Host Arnold says:
@ Hold it right there!

CEO McGregor says:
:: Enters the Bridge, walks towards the helm control::

FCO Lane says:
:: Stands and moves behind the Captain's chair ::

CSO Trelan says:
Computer: Tie current downloads through the universal translator.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Have you had any problems with her yet?

Host Arnold says:
<Computer> CSO: Acknowledged.

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Turns to face the men ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Aye lass I'll give her a look.

Host Arnold says:
<Computer>:: Runs downloads through the Universal Translator, the recordings repeat for the CSO ... this time understandable to him::

CMO Delar says:
CO: None personally, ma'am, yet I have received several complaints on her attitude.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Stands ::

Host Arnold says:
@:: Unarmed, but the others aren't ::     XO: Who are you?

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: What's that sonny?  I can barely here you.  :: In best old man voice ::

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Then you need to sit her down and talk with her.

CSO Trelan says:
Self: "Earthlings"? Test subjects?

FCO Lane says:
:: Moves over to the helm and points ::   CEO: See right there?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Touches console ::

CMO Delar says:
CO: Sir, I just don't even know why Starfleet chose me for this job...

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold:  Who am I?

CSO Trelan says:
*CO* Trelan to Royce.  Please report to the bridge.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Stares at them ::    XO: Yes ... who are you. I've never seen you, or your friends, before.

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Probably because you were the best candidate for the position.  If you'll excuse me…

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: I see

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO:  Please father don't strain yourself.    :: Intentionally makes his voice slightly higher pitch than usual ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Raises and moves towards the door ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: We just wandered into your cave from our part of the desert.  My daughter and son brought me into the shelter.  Do you have any water?

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: probably a bad touch sensor switch

CNS Becca says:
@Arnold: we live on the side of the planet.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Walks onto the bridge and over to the CSO console ::

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Your part of the desert?

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Yes, Dru, what do you have?

CMO Delar says:
:: Follows the CO out of her ready room, still with no real insight as to what he should do about his situation::

FCO Lane says:
All: Captain on the bridge!

Host Arnold says:
<Jacob> @:: Blinks at the CNS, then turns to Arnold::    Arnold: Other people?

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Captain, I think you should see this.   :: Runs the log for the CO to view ::

Host Arnold says:
@ ::Motions to Jacob to quiet ... slightly suspicious::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Now, you sound like me.  But you look much younger.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Watches the monitor with interest ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@Arnold:  Please sir, my father is very old and the journey hard, I fear for his health.  Just a small drink of water.

FCO Lane says:
:: Moves to the Captain::    CO: The bridge is yours ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods head as the monitor finishes ::     FCO:  Thank you.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  So, they are now gone?

Host Arnold says:
@:: Stares at them ::    XO: Follow me.   ::Turns and exits into another tunnel, three of the nine men following behind, the other five waiting for the XO and his group to head ahead::

FCO Lane says:
:: Heads back to see what McGregor had found out about the controls ::

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Helps XO along ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Goes and takes his seat, checking on his staff through his comm badge ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Not sure, ma'am. Interference is making it difficult to see if there are anything but humans down there.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: My boy is so kind.  He and his sister risked their own life for me.  Very well.   :: Motions the others to follow ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Takes XO arm to help him ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Opens the front of the helm control console ::

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Any luck?

CSO Trelan says:
CO: But from what I can tell, these are descendants from old Earth.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Notices a great deal of dust in the panel ::

Host Arnold says:
<Five Men> @:: Follow from behind ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: whispers ::     @ CNS/CTO: No sudden movements.  Let's see what we can find out.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Runs a cursory sensor scan of surrounding space ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Bends down to take a look ::

Host Arnold says:
<Jacob & Other Two> @:: Walk along side with Arnold ::

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Aye I think so

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Nods discreetly to XO and CNS ::

CMO Delar says:
CO/CSO: If you had a genetic sample you could run a trace comparison...  :: Covers his mouth to shut himself up, realizing he probably spoke out of turn ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: nods head ::   CSO:  where are our people now, can you tell?

Host Arnold says:
@:: Leads them through the tunnels ::    CTO: So ... where you're from on the planet, are their others ?

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Overhears ::    CO: Captain, I still have a lock on the Away Team.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: Nothing too serious I hope?

CNS Becca says:
@:: squeezes XO’s arm so no one could see. ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Good...thank you.

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Shuffles along ::     Arnold: I dare say, not a one.

CTO Wakefield says:
@Arnold:  There were others sir.  We live very far away, almost two months journey.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Really ... then you're not the descendants of those the demons experimented on?    :: Really suspicious now, then hears the CTO, and is confused ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: We were wiped out by some strange force.  We've been wandering ever since.

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: It's getting the DNA sample to run. If the away team comes in contact, that may be possible, but no other way.

CTO Wakefield says:
@Arnold:  There was a flood last season.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Checking.... :: Runs fingers across console ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Cleans the entire console ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Demons, you say?    :: Laughs ::    @Arnold: Well, I guess you could call them that...

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Try that, lass

Host CO Royce says:
CSO/OPS:  Recommendation gentlemen...?

CMO Delar says:
CSO: Actually, if you are able to scan their settlement, you can beam up a sample, from their clothing or waste...sir...

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: I think that will do it

FCO Lane says:
:: Gets down on her hands and knees ::    CEO: Anything I can help with?

CNS Becca says:
@:: Turns and watches Sam to make sure he is alright ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: They seem to be localized in the Northwestern section of the central continent.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: That's it?

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: I recommend we hang tight until the Away Team attempts to communicate...we don't want to blow their cover.

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: Good idea, Doc.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Plain old dirt, I'll have someone’s head for this.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Leads them to a much larger cave where dozens, if not over a hundred of people are gathered, most are talking, some are eating ... there are children playing near some torches ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: I hope the water is coming soon.  My old bones don't move as well as they used too.

CNS Becca says:
@:: And discreetly looks behind to see if there was any problems ::

Host Arnold says:
@ Jacob ...

Host Arnold says:
<Jacob> @:: Nods, and rushes over to get some water::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Understood...can you tell where they are at on the planet at this time, Kujo?

CTO Wakefield says:
@Arnold:  Thank so much, sir for your kindness.

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO/CNS: Isn't it nice to see children at play again?

Host Arnold says:
@ CTO: No problem.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Their subspace beacon shows they are within the cavernous structure that the Terran’s occupy.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Other than chancing a beaming of an individual...I don't know. It would be hard to get a precise scan of an item.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Leads them to a makeshift table made of rocks ... gestures for them to sit as Jacob rushes over with a jug of water ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Gets up and checks the controls ::   CEO: Looks fine now.  Thank you, Lance.    :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS/CSO:  Are they alone?

CNS Becca says:
@:: Yes it is ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: You know our story, how's about telling us yours?

CTO Wakefield says:
@XO/CNS:  Yes it is.  :: Smiles, then thinks of the little Doman girl and a sad and haunted look comes across his face ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: We can't tell...too much interference.

FCO Lane says:
CEO: I owe you one for this…

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Smiles ::

CMO Delar says:
CSO: What about modifying the scanners some how. You can do that, right?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Checks scanners ::    CO: No, ma'am. There are at least a hundred other Terran’s there.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Actually, I don't know much of "your story" ... what wiped out your people? How did you get here?

Host Arnold says:
ACTION: The jug is made of smoothed over rock as well ... the water inside is luke-warm.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Keep a lock on them.  OPS/CSO:  We'll have to sit tight until we hear from them

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to Dru ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves towards her chair ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Takes a seat ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: As I said, we were wiped out by a force.  My son called it a flood but I'm not that sure it was a natural disaster.

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: We can modify the scanners, but to get such a precise lock, we would have to set in coordinates, and for all we know we could be beaming up someone's arm.

CEO McGregor says:
FCO: Somebody owes me one for this, lass, but not you.    :: Looks upset at his staff for slipping up on their maintenance detail.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Nods ::    XO: Did you arrive on the planet yourself ... or are you the descendants of those who were brought here?

CMO Delar says:
CSO: What if we contacted the away team?   :: Tries to be useful ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Pats Lance on the shoulder ::   CEO: Well I'd still like to repay you somehow.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Overhears ::   CSO: Before the XO and CNS left, they were given implants that emit a subspace beacon at a certain frequency, so we do have a precise lock  :: Patches the CSO's station to that frequency ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Sits down at her console ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: There isn't much that we know about our past.  No one kept any records.  All we have are oral histories.  Some say we came from the heavens.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Helps XO sit on a large rock then helps him take a drink of water ::

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: Too risky. They are with the humans on the surface.

CNS Becca says:
@:: Just keeps looking around, and checking on the XO time to time to make sure he is alright ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Takes sip of water ::

CSO Trelan says:
OPS: To the away team, yes. But not to the other life forms.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at the interchange between the OPS/CMO/CSO ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: How were you to come to this God forsaken place?

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Funny ... we know quite well how we came here. Generation passes the stories along to another generation so that we can maintain hope of rescue.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: I was born here.

OPS Brehgorn says:
CSO: Ah...understood.  Sorry for butting in.

CSO Trelan says:
OPS: No problem. Anything could be of help.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: As was I.  Do your stories have the place that you came from in them?

CNS Becca says:
@:: Just listens and takes a lot of mental notes, and watches the XO to see if he is alright…::

CMO Delar says:
OPS: Actually...that might work. If they get close to something...food someone has eaten, or water someone has drank from, we might be able to get a DNA match on some genetic residue...

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Earth. :: Leans forward ::    @ XO: Let me tell you the story of Flight Three Sixteen Mr. ...   :: Didn't catch his name ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Beginning to wonder how the Away Team are doing, starting to get a bit nervous, begins to tap her fingers, quietly...::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Kelson.  I was named after a long ago king...

CMO Delar says:
CSO/OPS: We'd only need a small sample. We can use their location almost as a way to search for a sample...

Host Arnold says:
@:: Nods ::

CSO Trelan says:
CO: What if we find one that is isolated from the group? We could beam them directly to sickbay, then the doctor could perform what he needed to get the available information?

CEO McGregor says:
:: Logs on to engineering 1 console ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Notices the CO's apprehension ::    CO: Captain, the Away Team's signal is moving about in a manner that does not suggest injury or capture.

FCO Lane says:
:: Shrugs her shoulders as Lance seems not to have heard her ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Looks down to the ground so no one sees me wiping a tear out of my eye ::

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  If we can do that without the beam being noticed, do it.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: A long, long, long time ago ... a group of people boarded an airplane numbered Flight 316, some were going home ... some were going on vacation.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: En route into their fateful trip, the demons came ... the plane was taken.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Aye ma'am. Scanning surface for a lone individual.

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Listens intently ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   OPS:  Thank you, Kujo

Host CO Royce says:
:: Continues to lightly tap her fingers ::

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: The stories go that they were chosen to be the sole survivors of the invasion of Earth ... I'm not sure if that's true or not, but they were taken far, far, far away. To Mars ... here.

FCO Lane says:
:: Returns to her sensor sweep of the system ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Listens and just pays close attention to everything around us ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Mars you say?

CMO Delar says:
CSO: Mind if I help, sir?

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Looks at XO ::    Arnold:  What year?  Do your stories say what year?

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: And here ... they were tortured, and experimented upon ...

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Is there anything in the surrounding space?

Host Arnold says:
@ CTO: 1970 sumthin', I'm not sure.

CSO Trelan says:
CMO: Doctor, I think I found you a subject. You may want to go to Sickbay to receive our "guest". He may need your calm demeanor.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Yes, Mars.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: We too have ancient stories similar to that.  But long ago.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: ... and then, one day, my ancestors rebelled against their captors ... and the demons left. And they never came back ...

CNS Becca says:
@::watches the XO and then looks at the CTO::

CMO Delar says:
:: Smiles ::   CSO: Understood. If you could possibly keep him in the buffers for a moment or two to allow me to get to sickbay.   :: Picks up his kit and enters a turbolift::   turbolift: Sickbay.

FCO Lane says:
CO: Sensor sweeps show space normal ma'am.  All shipping lanes clear.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: So, Mr. Kelson of the United Federation of Planets ... or of the Demons, who is seemingly equipped with shape-changing abilities because while you look different, I recognized that voice ... what do you want?

CSO Trelan says:
:: Smiles :: CO: Permission to begin transport?

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Such a brave story.  You must be proud of your ancestors.

Host Arnold says:
ACTION: Many of the people watching around listen in.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::   FCO:  Well, at least that is a relief...so far....  Thank you for your diligence.

CTO Wakefield thinks:  @::Oh sh__::

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  At you leisure, Dru

Host XO Kelson says:
@:: Kelson stands to his full height ::

Host Arnold says:
@:: Waits for them to explain what they want ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Enters sickbay and prepares a containment field and some sedatives ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and begins to walk around the bridge ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Starts to look worried, but stands up beside XO ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Gets a lock on the isolated individual and downloads the coordinates to the transporter room ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: You'll be glad to know that Earth is a member of the UFP.  You are not the only Earthlings left.   :: Offers hand ::

FCO Lane says:
:: Can't help but notice that the Captain seems anxious ::

Host Arnold says:
@:: Gives Kelson a weird look ::    @XO: I-I ...

CEO McGregor says:
*Engineering* I want all maintenance control heads in my office at 1700 hours

CSO Trelan says:
*Transporter Chief* CSO to transporter room. Lock onto these coordinates and transport them directly to sickbay.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: I apologize for our appearance.  But after our first meeting, we needed a way to get your trust.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Unsure, looks around at the others ::    XO: And what of the Demons?

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: According to their records, they are gone.  Never to return.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Smiles, closes his eyes ... can't actually believe this is happening ::   XO: So ... what happens now?

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Stands ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: I'd be happy to offer protection under the UFP banner until a formal diplomatic mission can be sent.

CMO Delar says:
:: Prepares to receive the sample, or the patient ::

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: I'm not much of a diplomat ... or a President, or whatever ... but ...  :: Looks around at the others :: ... I think we'd be happy to accept that offer.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Since you are technically members of the Federation.  :: Smiles ::

CNS Becca says:
@:: Smiles ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Would you allow me to contact my ship?

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Uh ... sure.

CSO Trelan says:
*CMO* Trelan to sickbay. A sample of clothing a few other items is being transported to your location. Stand by.

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM:CO: Captain,  we have made contact with the leader of the Terran’s and have offered him protection under the Federation.

CMO Delar says:
*CSO*: Understood.

CSO Trelan says:
<Transporter Chief>:: Begins transport at designated coordinates ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: Would you care to meet with our Captain aboard our ship to discuss the future?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles ::  @COM: XO:  Understood, Sam.  I take it they are more cooperative?

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: Sure.

Host Arnold says:
@ XO: ... can you remove us from this planet?   :: Looks around ::   I think the general consensus is that everyone would like to go to Earth.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Looks over at XO ::

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM: CO: Yes Ma'am.  I have just arranged a meeting with you and their leader.  I think we should send a shuttle for first contact.

CNS Becca says:
@:: Looks to XO, and smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
@COM: XO:  I would be happy to meet with them.  I'll come down by shuttle to meet our new friends.  Good work, Sam.

CMO Delar says:
:: Sees the samples appear in a containment field ::    Computer: Check bio filters. Seal off sickbay and check for any known bio-contaminants.

Host XO Kelson says:
@COM: CO: They seem anxious to leave this place and return to Earth, but the transporter might be too much to handle at this point.

OPS Brehgorn says:
:: Hopes the Terran’s won't fire any more arrows ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Turns and looks at the Captain ....   :: Thinks first contact ::

CMO Delar says:
*CSO*: Delar to Trelan, sample received.

Host CO Royce says:
@COM:  XO:  We can discuss that when I meet our new friends.   :: Smiles ::

Host Arnold says:
<Computer> CMO: Sickbay Containment confirmed. Scanning for any known bio-contaminants.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: I suggest shuttles. They may be able to stomach that a little more.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Thinks to himself:: Don't be so trusting.

Host XO Kelson says:
@Arnold: We will send a small vessel to take you to our ship.  Thank you, Arnold.

Host Arnold says:
<Computer> CMO: Scan complete. No known bio-contaminants detected.

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Agreed.

Host Arnold says:
@:: Nods ::   XO: Thank you ...

CSO Trelan says:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

OPS Brehgorn says:
*CEO* So, Mac...how about us testing your scotch theory over a game of cards at 10 Forward tonight?

Host XO Kelson says:
@CTO/CNS: Not so bad after all, eh?  :: Laughs ::

CNS Becca says:
@XO: Good job and glad you are on our side.

CTO Wakefield says:
@:: Pats XO on the back ::  XO :: whispering ::  Nicely done Sam.

CMO Delar says:
::Taps a control to shut off the shield and begins to scan the genetic material in hopes of tracing the Terran’s genetic origins and families...

CEO McGregor says:
::Turns back to his station and returns to work ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Please make arrangements for shuttles to be prepared to transport our guests.

FCO Lane says:
:: Continues to monitor her sensors ::

OPS Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.
