@::Assumes point, weapon ready, and starts to move inside, clearing corners and looking up, down, and to both sides as she moves.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@XO:  Sir, I'm going to inspect the sniper positions on the roof.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
@::Walking toward the entrance.::  DCO:  Any thoughts yet on how we might be able to get a blood sample to confirm who they are?

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
@::Says nothing but moves towards the entrance.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
@DCO:  I hate to be so paranoid, but .. ::Opens the door.::  .. they didn't seem to know who we were.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@SO:  Just keep an ear to the COM.  Meadows will let us know if we have company.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@XO:  Aye, Sir.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Moves inside, sweeping the room as she goes::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  I've been considering several options as to how we should approach this matter.  Being that these are scientists, I assume they won't have a problem with the request.  However, I would like to stress the importance of this task, so they will understand why it is of utter most importance.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CE:  Yes, but ours are better.  Prism Equipment, oh darn I forgot the tape.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Moves inside the building with Captain and the Mission Specialist, and Diplomatic Corps Officer.::

ACTION:  The door is locked.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Chuckles at the joke, following the Mission Specialist.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
DCO/CM/LO:  It's .. ::pulls on the door.::  .. locked!  ::Shrugs, and knocks on the door.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Is by the Executive Officer's side with rifle in arm.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Presses on his console and launches the next probe.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Thinks "here is where we need a hobbit".::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  Unfortunately, I have a feeling it won't be that easy.  ::Pauses as she looks at the door.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
CO:  You want me to override it, Sir?

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Is annoyed at the wait.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Smiles.::  CO:  I might be able to open it for you.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Feels the brisk cold air and takes a deep breath.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Wonders how anyone from this team could override a code from this facility.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
CM:  Let's wait to see if they answer.  ::Knocks harder.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CO:  This is where you need the decoder and the hacking equipment I presume. Ma'am.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  See if you can find a position just over there to this entrance and our runabout.  ::Motions to the Kouchibouguac.::

ACTION:  A voice comes over the intercom...   "Close the outer airlock door please..... were you born in barn?"

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Nods.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Stands ready, covering the hatch with her weapon.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Motions for the Intelligence Officer to close the outer airlock door.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Nods in response to Executive Officer.  Moves into position.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Laughs at the voice.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Closes the outer airlock.::  CO:  It’s closed.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Arrives too late and the door is already closed.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Watches the Combat Medic in the corner of her eyes.  She didn't feel threatened by the scientists, she didn't think there was a reason to be.::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION:  The circling of air.... and fresh air fills the airlock.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Checks the probes progress and when it reaches it destination he goes to 1/2 impulse to the last geosynchronous probe location.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Smells the air.::

ACTION:  The inner door opens.... the crew see a Vulcan woman standing there impassively her arms behind her back.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
ALL:  That's more like it.  Now maybe we can get inside and warm up a bit.  ::Feels really bad for the team outside.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Watches the Vulcan woman, weapon slightly lowered, but still ready for use if needed.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Crouches down, places hand onto the cold ground and remembers home.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Holds her hand out.::  T’rhana:  Hello, my name is Samantha Sommers.  I'm here to see Jaron Thraik.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Observes in silence the Vulcan woman.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Her gaze shifts to the Vulcan woman and a slight smile crosses her face.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Looks at the Vulcan and raises her hand in the typical hand salute.::  T'rhana:  Live Long and Prosper.

ACTION:  The temperature is a comfortable 22 C  (74F).

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Rolls her eyes at the sight of a Vulcan standing there.::  Self:  Figures.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Waits for the diplomatic pleasantries to finish before charging off.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Simply observes, awaiting orders.::

Host T`rhana says:
::Nods to Randolph.::  LO:  Peace and long life.  All:  I have been asked to take you to the Director.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Nods in respect.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Continues scanning the perimeter.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods to T'rhana.::  T'rhana:  Lead the way, please.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Slows the runabout as it approaches the coordinates.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Starts analyzing things like the depth of the walls of the station or the toughness of the hatch.:: 

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Remains silent for the time being, knowing Commander Sommers would be handling the negotiations until she was needed.::

Host T`rhana says:
::Turns her back to the team and walks to the stairs.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Continues his patrol of the perimeter.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Follows T'rhana to the stairs, and motions for the others to follow.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Separates from the group and makes his way toward the roof.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Follows the Executive Officer and the rest of the team, looking around with genuine curiosity.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Follows the Vulcan, leading in, weapon at low ready, looking at all doors and side passages, if any, and noting everything, ready in case something happens.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Follows the rest of the team while staying silent.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Follows the Captain and the rest.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Follows T'rhana as she leads the way at the Commander's side.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Extending her mind and her senses.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Launches probe and waits for it to reach it destination.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Sets his tricorder on scanning for life signs.:: 

Host T`rhana says:
::Walks down 2 flights of stairs.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Continues his patrol walking towards the Runabout.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Finds the stairs indicated on his tricorder and begins ascending.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Clears each stairwell and landing carefully as they go, looking for blind corners or anything unusual.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  Check in with Lt. Meadows on the Richelieu and see how he's coming along with the probes.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Follows T’rhana down the stairs, her fingers still slightly chilled from the outside temperature.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Brings up the rear.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Continues to follow the Vulcan Woman as she looks around with her senses, trying to make a mental note of everything they passed.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Comms the Richelieu.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Looks around for other exits, just in case they need to get out quick.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Starts to bring the geosynchronous probes online.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Making mental notes as to where everything is.::

ACTION: The team spot someone jogging in shorts and a T-Shirt on the first floor they pass.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Continues to sweep and clear as they go, making notes of access hatches and exits.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Starts to move to the southern polar cap at 1/2 impulse.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Looks at the person jogging.::  CO:  Could that be one of the researchers?

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Records an image in her mind of the person jogging, and then proceeds to follow T'rhana.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Looks at the woman jogging wishing his armor had x-ray vision.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
LO:  I would say it's a good guess.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Passes her tricorder for a scan as she disappears.::  Self:  Got you.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Nudges the Intelligence Officer, noticing he's taking a prolonged look at the woman.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO/LO:  I assume everyone here is a scientist in some way.  ::Watches as the jogger passes by.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Sees Rico drooling over the passing female jogger, chuckling to herself.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Looks at Sam and raises his hands as if to say "I know I can't help it"::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@*CP*: Lieutenant, I was asked to get a report on the probes?

Host T`rhana says:
::Exits on the floor and walks in a determined manner to the first office on the left.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Follows T'rhana to the first office on the left.  Gives a wink to the Intelligence Officer.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*AS*:  And I thought you guys forgot all about me.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
DCO:  I'm not going to come to any conclusions until I have more information.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Sweeps and clears the immediate area as they leave the stairwell and head for the office.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@*CP*:  Is that a joke, Lieutenant?   Because I'm not amused.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  I agree with you there.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Antennae perk up.::

ACTION:  A older male is sitting at a desk frowning at the terminal.  You recognize him as Jaron Thraik the head scientist of the facility.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  As do I.  I'm just going by the reports. ::Smiles slightly, knowing a lot was left out.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*AS*:  Easy, Ensign.  All five geosynchronous probes have been launched and are online.  You should be receiving its data.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Self:  Here we go.  ::Takes a deep breath.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*SO*:  Lieutenant, how's the view?

Host T`rhana says:
Jaron Thraik:  Director, our..... visitors.  ::Motions the team to enter the office.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*AS*:  I'm heading to the southern polar cap now.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
*XO*:  Just getting outside now, Sir.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Stays outside the office for the moment, pulling security, watching the area.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Her gaze shifts to the lead scientist.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Follows the Captain.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Stays outside the office, looking around.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Remains outside the office with the Intelligence Officer.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Opens a hatch and climbs out onto the roof.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@*CP*:  Thank you Lieutenant.  Quinnis out.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Enters the office with the others and steps forward to greet him.::  Jaron Thraik:  Samantha Sommers.  ::Holds her hand out for a handshake..::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*SO*:  Try the thermal imaging scopes.  Should give us an advantage with this terrain.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@XO:  Sir, all five probes have been launched.   Lieutenant Meadows is approaching the north polar cap and the data is transmitting.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Frowns and looks up from his terminal and harrumph.::  CO:  Charmed.... welcome to my humble abode... now.... someone going to tell me what is going on or do I have to play 20 questions?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Shakes his head.::  Self:  So green.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Looks kind of sideways as Quinnis reads the data as he speaks.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::She looks from the Commanding Officer to Thraik.  It didn't seem like he knew anything.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  I will give you our orders, sir.  But considering we are in Dominion territory, I think you understand how cautious we both should be.  I would like for our medic to take a small blood sample to verify who you are.  And of course, you can do the same for us, if you please.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Begins reading the data off of his tricorder.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Begins a thermal imaging scan from the roof.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Reaches the southern pole and slows the runabout to a stop.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@*XO*:  Well, Sir, there's lots of snow, and a big mountain...

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  Quinnis, just relax.  You’re trying too hard.  ::Smiles.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Stands up.::  CO:  BLOOD SAMPLE?  Orders??   NO ONE ORDERS ME IN MY FACILITY! What in the name of the Great Bird of the Galaxy in going on here?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Taps on his console and launches the two southern polar probes.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Watches the Director for a reaction, weapon still at low ready.::

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@XO: Yes, Sir.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::She does not react to the shouting of the Director.  She just watches him, understanding why he is feeling so threatened at the moment.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  If that thing beeps it means we have guests.  I need to know right away.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  Sir, there is nothing to get excited about, but we have been given orders by Starfleet to prepare your scientists and research for evacuation.  I will give you our orders ::shows him the padd.::  but we need to verify who you are.  ::Looks to the Diplomatic Corps Officer.::  This is our Diplomacy officer, Commander Yates.  I'm sure she can tell you how important it is that we verify who we are, just as much as we verify who you are.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@::Removes overcoat as he is too warm.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
CO:  Standard protocol I believe, Sir.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Grabs the PADD and looks from face to face.::  CO:  Evacuate?  What in the hell for?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Hears the commotion inside the office.::  IO:  Doesn't sound like they knew what was coming.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@:Lines up one of the probes but is having problems with one.::  Self:  Piece of crap.  Get into position.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods to the MS.:: Jaron Thraik:  We were not privy to that information.  Our orders were plain and simple.  Prepare the facility and scientists for evacuation.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  You’re not cold?  ::Looks as he removes his jacket.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CE:  Nope, but I am not surprised.  All this happened so fast. 

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Decides to add in.::  Jaron Thraik:  Director, I understand that you aren't fully aware of what is going on and I assure you that everything will be explained to you in due time.  However, before we proceed it is necessary for us to verify who you are, so we can evacuate this base successfully.

Assault Specialist Ensign Quinnis says:
@XO:  No, Sir.  Are you?

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Holds up hands.::  CO: Okay... Okay... wait a minute.... wait a minute...... Commander.... by any chance.....  do you think... someone at Intel should have notified.... US about the bloody evac?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Works furiously on his console.::  Self:  There we go

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@AS:  I don't much care for this climate.  I need to stay active

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CM:  What do you think?

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  It depends on whether they thought the facility had been compromised, Sir.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Finishes the thermal imaging scan.::  *XO*:  I'm finished on the roof, Sir.  I'm going to begin deploying the sensor network with your approval.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Reads the PADD mumbling.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, his emotional state is very upset.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Gets the probe into position.::  Self:  Now stay there.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  Which is another reason why we need to verify who you are.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Jaron Thraik:  Which Starfleet Intelligence cannot verify unless we retrieve a sample from you, Sir.

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Thinks to herself, someone should have notified them.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Climbs back into the research outpost, locking the hatch behind him.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Holds her hand up to the Logistics Officer.::  LO:  I can see that, Lieutenant.  Thank you.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Keeps shifting from the office to the corridor outside, watching, waiting, weapon ready.::  IO: Think about what?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Breaks position and heads for the northern polar cap at 3/4 impulse.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
MS:  Lieutenant Jules, what is your take on this?  You are our mission specialist.  Is this standard procedure?

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*SO*:  Acknowledged, patch them to our tricorders.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CM:  About all this....the fact they did not know we would have come here.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Talks half to himself but speaks out loud.::  Self:  I just wanna get this mission over with so I can get back to my wife.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
*XO*:  Roger, Sir.  ::Sends the data to the others.::

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
CO:  Standard procedure to identify key personnel is by blood sample, and the facility should have been notified.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Smiles at the Combat Engineer comment.::  Tell you the truth, I am curious about this place.  I wish they told us more about it.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
IO:  In my humble opinion?  It's either the typical pooch-screw you get in working with civilians in black ops, OR... this is a setup...

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Self:  I see this is going to cause a problem down the road.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
MS:  Can you think of any reason why they would not have been told?

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Mumbles.::  CO: These orders seem accurate.....   ::Drops PADD on desk and moves to the terminal and begins to go through the COM log.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*CP*:  Meadows, you should have telemetry from ground sensors shortly as well.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CM:  Well considering Murphy then this is a setup. 

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Jaron Thraik:  Is there anything we can do to prove our identities to you, Director?

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
CO:  Only if the message were somehow intercepted by someone at this facility.

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Shrugs.::  IO:  As much as I'd love to know what Starfleet does behind closed doors, there's other places I'd rather be, ya know?

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
::Makes his way out of the research station through the front door, remembering to close the airlock behind him.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
IO:  Roger that... it's Murphy's Op all right...

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Taps on his console and opens a channel.::  *XO*:  Acknowledge, Sir.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CE:  I agree.  Plus if the Dominion put a secret research station in my backyard I'd be pissed.. uhmm ticked off as well.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  Who handles your incoming communications?  Is it possible the order could have been erased by someone from within?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Nods.::  IO:  I wonder who's bright idea that was.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@SO:  You need any help setting those up?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Closes the channel and waits for the ground sensor so come online.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CE:  Some fat admiral for sure. 

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
CE:  Someone who wasn't going to be here when it was set up...

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
CM:  You got that right.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Whispers to the Intelligence Officer.::  IO:  Get word to Lieutenant Cerdan of our situation.  Do it quietly.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Exits the outpost.::  *XO*:  That would be appreciated, Sir.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Shrugs.::  CO:  I can't find any log of any COM ... Hmmmm ..... what?   Oh....  Ummmm... whoever is closest to the subspace radio and not busy.... we're not uppity up on super protocol thingies... mucks up the work environment here.

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Rolls her eyes.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Nods and moves a few meters out of the office.::  *XO*:  Apparently we are having some problems here lieutenant.  The scientists don't seem very prone to cooperate with us.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Self:  Of course not.  ::She keeps her attention on the Director.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Self:  Mucks up the work environment??  Someone mucked up here alright.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Looks up.::  All:  Who said anything about not cooperating for crying out loud....   gimme a moment to sort this mess out!

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  May I suggest having Lieutenant Randolph look through the computer?  She may be able to find something if a communication has been erased.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Holds a hand up to Vernius as he answers the COM.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Hears the Diplomatic Corps Officer.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Walks over to the Executive Officer and waits for him to finish.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Looks to the Captain for an answer.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Starts to slow down the runabout as it almost at the northern cap.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*IO*:  Can you elaborate, Lieutenant?

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Figures if they just put all the scientists into a room and lock it, they could get some work done around here.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Jaron Thraik:  We understand that all of this is highly overwhelming.  However, the longer we wait, the more time we waste, Director.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  With your permission, I would like to have our Logistics Officer search the computer to determine if a communication was received.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
*XO*:  They were not aware of the evacuation orders, Sir.  So they claim to never have received any communications to evacuate.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Brings the ship to a stop at the northern pole and launches the two probes.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Continues to keep a critical eye on both the office and corridor from the doorway, weapon held at low ready, listening and waiting.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Moves his arms in an inviting manner.::  LO:  Go... look.... ::shrugs::   CO: I am just getting irritated here Commander.  All right, how soon do we have to evacuate this facility?

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Nods and takes a seat at his console and begins the scans of the communications logs.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:  
Jaron Thraik:  The USS T'Khut will be arriving in 3 days, Sir.  There is a procedure that we must follow.  Our team will work with your team side by side so that no one is kept out of the loop.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Thinks a moment.::  *IO*:  Tell them if they want to live they will prepare for immediate evacuation. If they still refuse to cooperate stun them and confine to an area to be beamed from.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::While he waits for the Executive Officer, he begins to unpack the sensors.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Locks the probes into position and links up the polar probes with the rest of them.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Eyes widen,::  CO:  3 days??  KHEST !  I need more time... we can't just leave so quickly!

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
*XO*:  I would love very much that, Sir.  I will communicate your intentions to the Captain.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*:  Lieutenant Cerdan, polar probes are in position and are transmitting.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@SO:  Take Quinnis with you.  He can help you with the ground sensors.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  I'm afraid 3 days is all you have.  It's important we complete the evacuation.  We have received word there may be hostiles in the area.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@XO:  Roger that, Sir.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*CP*:  Very good.  Standby.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  So time is of the essence.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
Jaron Thraik:  Mr. Thraik we can aide you in that respect.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*IO*:  I don't see a lot of choices.  You need to convince them any way you can.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Comes back to the room and makes a sign indicating to the Captain that he has the Executive Officer's answer.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*:  Standing by, Sir.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Wonders what’s up.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Heads over to the Intelligence Officer, leaning in for him to whisper to her.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Continues to stand in the doorway, observing everyone in the office.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Moves the runabout to the low orbit launch section.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Whispers.::  CM/DCO:  You both need to convince him to give a blood sample so we can proceed.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
CO:  Hostiles?   What hostiles....  ::Lips begin to tremble.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Whispers.::  CO:  He said we have to convince them in any way we can.  Either they agree or they will die by the Dominion's hand.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, I have completed the scan of the communications log and I find no definitive proof that a message was received.  Sir, if it was received, it was expertly erased leaving no trace.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Jaron Thraik:  As I said, Director, all will be explained.  Unfortunately, we have to be certain that you are indeed who you say you are.  May be proceed with the blood sample?

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Sighs.::  IO:  Well we have 3 days to get them together.  We've kind of sprung this on them.  Let's give him time to think about all of this.  ::Heads back over to Jaron Thraik.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*CP*:  How much advance warning will those sensors give us?

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
CO:  Roger that, Sir.  I also wanted to remind you of the HAZMAT issue?  We need to know if there is anything here requiring special precautions?

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CO:  Yes, Ma'am.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
CM:  Understood, and good point.  Check with the Director on that issue, please.

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Thinks they had to have received a message and one or more of them is hiding the fact.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
CO:  Roger that.  ::Moves inside and tries to put on a pleasant expression.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
CM:  Since we were not informed as to the type of research, I would think it is within standard protocol to request that information.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Sticks out arm.::  DCO:  Go ahead.... start with me.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Looks toward the Combat Medic.::  CM:  Ensign, if you please.  ::Motions to the Director.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Slings his rifle over his shoulder and reads his tricorder.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
Jaron Thraik:  Director, I'm Ensign Hembrook, the Team Medic.  As you know, Starfleet regulations require any personnel who are to handle hazardous materials to be informed of them to take proper precautions.  Are there any hazardous materials in your facility we need to be aware of?

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Moves over to take the Director's blood sample.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  Commander, I would like your permission to have all of the scientists sent here so we can test each one individually.  It should not hinder their ability to get their equipment ready.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*:  Sir, about 30 minutes but that is only if the full grid is up and running.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  I agree with the Diplomatic Corps Officer on that one.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Holds out arm to Hembrook.::  CM:  We have all kinds of material... but I shall talk to my people to clear what I can and cannot tell you first.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
DCO:  Agreed.  Send the others to round them up.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Taps the tricorder.::  *CP*:  I'm not getting  a reading on one of the probes from the southern boundary.  Can you check it from your location?

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Takes the Assault Specialist and begins to deploy the sensor network.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*:  Roger that.  I think I know which one it is.  It was giving me problems beforehand.  On my way.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
CO/DCO:  Wait a moment.  Let me make an announcement first.  If you think I was irritated….

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Whispers.::  CO:  Sir, I sensed that he is very annoyed and he tensed up when the Combat Medic mentioned hazmat, but he is telling the truth so far.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says: 
Jaron Thraik:  Director, I'm afraid we'll need to know about any hazardous materials.  We have the same clearance you do, and we don't need to know what you are doing with them; just what they are so we can transport and store them safely.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
DCO:  Hold that order please.
Jaron Thraik:  Understood, Sir.  Go ahead.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Increases speed back to the probe that malfunctioned before.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::She nods.::  Jaron Thraik:  I was going to suggest that you do the honors, Director.

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
CO:  We need to test them all at once Sir, or someone could fake us out by jumping from form to form.

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
CO/DCO: ..... You should see others who are working right now.....  I can guarantee they will be worse than me.... ::chuckles::  I was calm compared to some.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods to the Logistics Officer.::  LO:  I think you hit that one right.  Any luck with the computer?

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  I agree with the Combat Medic.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Smiles.::  Jaron Thraik:  Then we will be patient with them, that is all we can do in a time like this.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*SO*:  You making any progress, in this cold?

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  I certainly understand why you would be upset, Sir.  But we need to do this in an orderly fashion and as quickly as possible.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
::Shakes head in a negative movement.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO/CM:  Even though I do agree, I do not believe it would be plausible if some are protecting their secretive research.

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@*XO*:  We're doing fine, Sir.  Our body armor provides some protection.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, I found no evidence of the message, but if it was in there it was expertly erased.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
ALL:  I agree with the Combat Medic on this.  We test them all at one time.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Locates the probe and beams it aboard and sends out a replacement probe.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Flails arms in the air.::  CO/DCO:  Whatever.... I can get everyone in one room if you want,

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
DCO:  Where there's a will, there's a way, Commander.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CO:  We could test with them to show we mean no harm.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
IO:  Lt. Polo, use your skills on the computer and see if you can come up with anything Lieutenant Randolph may have missed.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
Jaron Thraik:  Do you have a room easily accessible to all, Director?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*:  Sir, try it again.  Are you receiving data now?

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Sits down on the floor outside of the office, waiting patiently.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
DCO:  How about the messhall?  That should be big enough to hold them all at once?  Or a Holodeck?

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CO:  If we do it this way, I would like to suggest having all of the exits sealed off once everyone is in the room, for safety purposes.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  I would like to do it together, if you will.  It will save time, and help us account for everyone.

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Wonders if the Doctor is going to take the sample or not.::

Strategic Officer Lieutenant Vernius says:
@::Sets up the first set of sensors.::

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CO:  Aye Ma'am.  ::Approaches the computer and turns on the PADD with all the worms and Trojan horses.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
CM:  Mess hall is fine....  Do you want my blood or not for crying out loud?

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Takes the sample.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
MS:  Once we have everyone in the room, we will need to verify that we have not missed anyone.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CM: The messhall could work.  It is an area everyone would know.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, I agree with the Diplomatic Corps Officer.  It should be done in a closed room and all at once.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Starts running a query about all messages received in the past few days.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
Jaron Thraik:  If you will please get word out to your scientists that we need them all together for the testing.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Waits for the Executive Officer’s response.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@::Hears his tricorder beep as the sensor comes online.::  *CP*:  I have it........No wait......We have ground sensors coming online now too, Lieutenant.

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
CO:  Aye, Commander.

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
CM:  We can both take the samples from the scientists.  It will allow the process to go faster.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Matches the list with the sensor logs to see if there is some difference in subspace transmissions.::

Host Jaron_Thraik says:
::Shrugs.::  CO: Whatever...  ::moves over to the terminal and flips switch.::  *ALL*:  Attention everyone... attention.... all personnel.... I repeat all personnel to the mess hall.... off duty and on.... this is urgent.

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, there might be a problem with that announcement over the open com line as well. ::Whispers to her.::

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Checks his sensors and starts to receive the ground sensor data.::  *XO*: Got it, Sir.  Heading to the low probe launch coordinates now.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
LO:  What might that be, Lieutenant?

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@::Turns the runabout around and heads for the last probe locations.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Scans blood with tricorder.::  CO:  Human blood, Sir.  Looks clean.  No infections or HAZMAT.

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*CP*:  Good work Meadows.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
::Turns and makes a gesture to the Captain signaling her to come closer.::

Logistics Officer Lieutenant Randolph says:
CO:  Sir, I was thinking what if there was indeed a changeling here on the base, and with an announcement like that he or she could shift to form anything such as a chair or wall. ::whispering still.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Nods to the Combat Medic.::  ALL:  Okay, let's get to the messhall so we can do our testing and get this show on the road.

Combat Pilot Meadows says:
@*XO*: Thank you, Sir.  Meadows out

Mission Specialist Lieutenant Jules says:
::Heads to the mess hall.::

Combat Medic Ensign Hembrook says:
::Moves outside into the corridor, weapons once again at the ready, looking and listening.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Listens to the Logistics Officer, but does not respond.  Continues to ponder that idea.::

Combat Engineer Lieutenant JG Rodos says:
::Stands up off the floor and follows everyone to the mess hall, sighing along the way.::

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
::Walks over to the Intelligence Officer.::

Diplomatic Corps Officer Lieutenant Commander Yates says:
::Moves in the direction of the messhall, hoping this would not be a mistake.::

Executive Officer Lieutenant Cerdan says: 
@*CO*:  Captain, orbital sensors are deployed and functioning.  Ground sensors will be deployed shortly.

Intelligence Officer Lieutenant JG Polo says:
CO:  I think the computer has been tampered with.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Commander Sommers says:
*XO*:  Aye, Lieutenant.  ::Hears the Intelligence Officer.::  And we may have a problem with computer tampering.  There may be an internal spy here.
