Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 11209.06

Previously on DS-102:

The crew of D-102 on the Scorpius is in the middle of exchanging information with a newly discovered space born species, the Albus.

Let's find out what's going on.

CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::On Bridge, reviewing the information sent over from the Albus and attempting to align the data with the scanner data.::
CO_YoGhi says:
:: in the command chair on the Bridge ::
CO_YoGhi says:
CNS: Commander, anything special to report about the aliens?
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Interesting data from our new friends?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: This data is going to make our teams get lazy, Sir. It's just too easy, no need to even analyze the sensors, it's already done for us.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Um, that's just a joke, Sir. We won't really get lazy, I promise.
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Captain Marek won't let you anyway
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
::sitting at the helm, keeping the ship in place::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CO: Just their joy and excitement at meeting us. They are thrilled at the experience.
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: Anything to report on your side Ensign?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Yes Sir. If nothing else the sensor jockeys can give the data analysts’ assistance.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: No Sir, everything seems to be just about perfectly normal
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Brings up the Albus files on their planet's thermal and gravitational fields and any adjustments made to their Warp fields based on interactions.::
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: In fact Sir, almost too normal
CO_YoGhi says:
FCO: Keep an eye on the subspace channel, in case Starfleet responds to my reports and has new instructions
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CO: Aye Captain. That I can do ::thinking a little more work could make things interesting::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: I am preparing the data for a dump to Starfleet records. It's a large upload, but I think getting it in the hands of the station's analyst would save a great amount of time.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: Their flight patterns compare to fleet flight patterns at all? I mean are they tough to fly formation with?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Let me take a hard look at the sensor data to see if I can detect any patterns. One would think they'd fly in some sort of organized fashion to avoid ramming into each other, but then, you never know.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Mostly, I'm just trying to keep our distance from them
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: Aye, understood. Trying here to get their data sorted, but I think a lot of Starfleet data analysts are going to be busy for some time.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: Never figured I'd be using statistical analysis so early in my career. May need to set up a sorting program to help it out. Standard programs might work, but always like to flip number crunchers around.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: However, even the simplest of Earth's insects manage to fly without running into each other, though I'm not sure how recognizable a pattern is weaved?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: Like instinct? I suppose developing in a fluidic atmosphere they would have some sort of navigation instinct.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: What do you think, can you tell if they are concentrating on flight or just doing it?
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Fluidic, gaseous, or just vacuous... they'd need something regardless, wouldn't they?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: Right, I meant if you grow in a three dimensional environment you would think in three dimensions.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Don't forget the other dimension as well... time is of the essence. ::chuckles::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO: You think they can time trav...oh, never mind. Right, time is essential to any species.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: I'll try, but I doubt it. ::concentrates on the aliens::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: No, their minds are quite complex.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Right. I just wondered if flying was second nature to them, like walking to us or swimming to a Symbiot.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Understandable, and quite probable.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: They are an interesting species. Jumping way ahead here, but maybe if they were to become Federation members, they could provide assistance learning more about gas giants and such. Not much in terms of solid trade I'd guess, however.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: That is an interesting thought.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Just assuming that they have no tradable technology. Their cultural development is all internal, and not seeing much in terms of technological manipulation.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Possibly, but we will know more as we study the information that they've shared.
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Nods.:: CNS: Yes, of course Commander. Sometimes I look further ahead than I should. But it's a nice bit of learning here.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Not at all, with trying to probe deeper, I am getting the sense that they are explorers. They are a curious species, they may have a lot of information that they can share.
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
CSO: Wouldn't they be in a great position to trade information about where we've not been?
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CNS: Explorers? That is something we might use for breaking down their data. ::Turns back to the data packet and sets up a sorting program to see if the Computer can set up a map of where the Albus have been.::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
FCO/ CNS: Yes, it would be a great information trade. Trying to put together a map of where they've been. 
CO: Permission to put it on main screen?
CO_YoGhi says:
CSO: Make it so
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
CO: Aye Sir, thank you. ::Brings up the growing map of where they appear to have been.::
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
All: Looks like they get around...
FCO_Ens_Farman says:
All: Looks like they're a tad better at getting around than we are...
CSO_Ens_Trix says:
::Looks at the data again and brings up time span for their journey.::
