STSF Sorehl -> BACKGROUND: The Oberth-class starship Perseus has discovered a lost pre-Federation human colony, descendents of the SS Atlas launched more than 300 years ago. The colony exhibits an unusual mix of 21st, 20th, and 19th century technology, but shows no evidence of subspace fields or warp technology.

STSF Sorehl -> MISSION BRIEFING: While preparing to leave a probe behind in the system, Perseus detected an active sensor hidden within the crater of the planet's airless moon. The captain has ordered an away team to investigate this device, as it seems inconsistent with the colony's level of technology.

STSF Sorehl -> =/\= =/\= BEGIN CLASSROOM SESSION =/\= =/\=

STSF Sorehl -> :::walks to the podium at the front:::

Eva Jaz -> ::takes a seat in the back coffee in hand ::

STSF Sorehl -> Tonight's topic is: The Scope of Individual Actions (as opposed to broader ACTIONS)

will_marx -> ::also in back, with a vacuum flask::

STSF Sorehl -> Or, "How much effect is a player allowed to have?"

will_marx -> ::raises hadn::

STSF Sorehl -> Thoughts, Will?

Lisanna -> :: takes her seat, ponders the topic ::

will_marx -> Depends on how flexible the GMs are running the Academy

STSF Sorehl -> True, although tonight, I want to discuss some aspects that are fairly standard everywhere. Let me give an example.

STSF Sorehl -> Would one expect to be allowed to get away with :::draws phaser and fires, vaporizing the captain:::

will_marx -> Only if it were a Mirror Universe Academy.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::inserts a word there:::

Lisanna -> :: chuckles :: Depends on how much the First Officer wanted a promotion.

STSF Sorehl -> :::nodding::: Well put.

Cmdr JFarrington -> Oh..and a Klingon or Romulan one.

Eva Jaz -> ::chuckles::

will_marx -> heheh

STSF Sorehl -> Even then, the statement would probably be disallowed because it is too broad in two ways:

STSF Sorehl -> 1) It's probably not going to follow plot (although, as noted, it might depending on where you are)

STSF Sorehl -> But also 2) It presumes the RESULTS of an action, not just the act of doing it.

STSF Sorehl -> Whereas a statement like :::draws phaser to fire at captain::: MIGHT be allowed.

STSF Sorehl -> With the host determining the outcome of the action, ie: ACTION: Sensing his naked aggression, the nearby redshirt jumps in front of the captain and is instantly vaporized.

TKAR -> hi

will_marx -> ::nod nod::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> ::Makes a note for the sim tonight::

STSF Sorehl -> Or, ACTION: Drawing his phaser, the Security Chief gives the player a right cross, dropping him to the deck.

Vilanne -> ::raises hand::

STSF Sorehl -> The key point being that a player should be careful not to presume too much about the results or effectiveness of his actions, especially if they're unusual or unlikely.

STSF Sorehl -> Villane?

TKAR -> Sorry i waslate had aol issues

Vilanne -> My favorite was being Sec Chief, and getting an IM for a host, "Arrest him... or shoot him if he mkaes a move" LOL I got to shoot!

Vilanne -> But, that was with permission. Heheh

Lisanna -> :: snarkle ::

STSF Sorehl -> Permission can be fun.

will_marx -> heh

Eva Jaz -> <>

STSF Sorehl -> It's a courtesy thing, as well as letting the host handle plot developments. For example, imagine...

TKAR -> ::Writting notes on padd::

Lisanna -> I always like to think of it as the "Start but don't Finish" approach to simming. You can start something but it's the GM's choice as to how it ends, or to even wipe that off the slate.

STSF Sorehl -> ...if another player typed :::tackles YOUR PLAYER and wrestles them to the floor:::

STSF Sorehl -> Exactly, Lisanna.

TKAR -> ::confused::

STSF Sorehl -> In my example, a lot of players might think, "Wait, you can't wrestle me to the floor. I'm strong. Or, I'm not just going to let you."

Eva Jaz -> ::scribbles down some notes::

STSF Sorehl -> Their actions presupposed a successful outcome, which may not be warranted.

Lisanna -> :: noddles ::

will_marx -> I tend roll with something like that...and turn it into a fist fight

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::quizzical look at Will:::

STSF Sorehl -> In general, you want to avoid this and, as Lisanna notes, type the intention but not the result. :::scans for life forms::: :::jumps toward the green-skinned alien:::, etc.

STSF Sorehl -> Good point, Will. The host may choose to make it a plot point in their own way.

Lisanna -> Unless you've worked something out ahead of time, you should give the other player a chance to play and not just sit there and get pummeled.

STSF Sorehl -> Precisely.

STSF Sorehl -> There are players who know each other well enough, on Adv Sims or even in the Academy, that they can react and roll with another's actions.

STSF Sorehl -> Or are willing to trust the outcome.

will_marx -> ::nod nod nod::

STSF Sorehl -> But coordination has often happened in advance.

STSF Sorehl -> Moose's Tips has several good examples of how to properly and improperly phrase an action.

STSF Sorehl -> One of my favorites: After seeing a player throw a chair, a telepath types :::senses anger from the XO:::

STSF Sorehl -> Which might not be true. He might simply like throwing chairs.

will_marx -> heh

Lisanna -> Yeah, you never know when Bob Knight's gonna drop by to play.

will_marx -> lol

STSF Sorehl -> In this case, the player needs to recognize that the scope of their immediate actions should be limited to what they are in control of.

will_marx -> Or the sim degenerates into the Geraldo Rivera show.

STSF Sorehl -> And venture into outcomes only when they've done some coordination or when its a reasonable assumption. :::lift moves:::

STSF Sorehl -> There'll be time to see some examples tonight, I think.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::steps up::::

STSF Sorehl -> :::enters the holodeck:::

Rachel E Garrett -> ::enters with Vilanne:::

Lisanna -> :: enters holodeck ::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> ::Enters Holodeck::

Vilanne -> <CENG> ::grins at Garrett::

Rachel E Garrett -> ::glance around:::

will_marx -> HOPS> ::settles in behind the simulated console::

STSF Sorehl -> << It would be good for most of the players, except hosts, to comprise the away team. So, please assume you're heading or already in the transporter room. >>

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::picks up her tag:::

STSF Sorehl -> =/\= =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= =/\=

Lisanna -> <MCO> :: is in the transporter room ::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::also in the TR, ready to get some...stuff::::

Lisanna -> <mXo> (( didn't mean to promote myself... though maybe I should aim my phasr at the Captain and see what happens! :P ))

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::on the bridge::: <HOPS> Advise me when the away team is ready to energize.

Vilanne -> <CENG> AENG> Got all of the tools we may have to use?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <heh Lis>

STSF Sorehl -> << So you die keptin, and we all move up in rank... >>

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Puts his empty coffee cup down and heads towards the Turbolift::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::so very eager::: <CENG> So, what you think it is, Chief?

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::fiddling with her tricorder on her way to the TL ::

will_marx -> ((::plots to execute the XO, and move into the center seat::))

TKAR -> <CMO>::Checking medical tricorder,medical pouch before tranporting :on the padd>

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::settles down upon seeing Lisanna:::

Vilanne -> <CENG> AENG> Unsure at this juncture, but technology isn't warp on the planet, so we will be investigating.

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: looks around ::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <NiP> Pokey, pokey, pokey... :: shakes head ::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::enters TL::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::hangs her head:::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Enters the Turbo Lift::

will_marx -> HOPS> ::majic edit into the TR, leaving the helm in the capable hands of Chief Tar'ghet::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> <CENG> ::scoots closer to Vilanne::: Think it'll be more advanced than on the planet? I mean, it kinda seems likely.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSci> :: looks :: Thought you might be bringing the whole lab with you.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::exits TL and makes her way to TR ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::pacing the bridge, observing the sensor dish on the Main Viewer:::

Vilanne -> <CENG> AENG> ::tries to help her hold her horse-power:: Probably Mr Garrett... we'll see, won't we.

STSF Sorehl -> << Our relief helmsman is a target? >>

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Exits the TL and heads for the TR::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::Nodnodnod:::

will_marx -> ((He's also the Tac relief))

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Tar-get, Sorehl. As in the French :) >

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: steps on the pad in her EVA suit ::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Enters the TR stepping up on a pad::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: mutters, which is picked up just fine by the suit's microphone :: I hate these bloody things.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::enters TR right behind CSEC::

will_marx -> HOPS> ::struggling to get comfortable in his EV suit:: Never did like these bloody things

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::slips the helmet on her EVA, locks and checks, then checks Vil's::::

Vilanne -> <CENG> ::finishes cliping EV suit on, inspects the AENG::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::up onto the pad:::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::nods, giving a thumbs-up to Vil:::

STSF Sorehl -> TR Chief> <MXO> We're ready to energize on your order.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <HOps> :: grins, hearing the similar sentiment ::

TKAR -> <CMO>::in suit ready to go::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI> ::fetches herself an EVA suit , laughing in her head at some bad joke about Eva in an EVA ::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> +Ceng+ Comm check.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <TRC> As soon as everyone's in position.

STSF Sorehl -> TR Chief> :::nods:::

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> CO> Holding steady, relative to the dish's 3 o'clock, Captain.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSci> Eva, hurry up and get in yourself so we can go. :: smirking behind the faceplate ::

Vilanne -> <CENG> AENG> ::feeling stsrange that this aeng is way too antsy:: +AENG+ Yes, it's on.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Checks his suit one final time::

will_marx -> HOPS> ::double checkign his seals one last time;;

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <Tar'ghet> Acknowledged. Station keeping.

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::nods, squeezing her eyes tight, waiting for the transporter to pull her apart molecule by molecule::::

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> CO> Aye sir. Thrusters at station keeping

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::hurries and double checks her suit before noding to XO to let her know she's ready ::

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::would hold Vil's hand if she could without getting added attention::::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSci> :: pats eva on the shoulder as she steps up ::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <TRC> Okay, everyone better be suited up properly, I'm not going to jump up and try to catch you if you start gas propelling around the moon.

will_marx -> HOPS> ::double checks Eva's suit seals, and gives her a thumbs up::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <TRC> Energize.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The transporter energizes.

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::energized:::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::dematerializes::

Vilanne -> <CENG> ::standing still, all clamped in, energizing::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Shimmers::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::shimmers::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: shim-shimmery-shim-shimmery-shim-shim-sheroo ::

TKAR -> <CMO>::checks tricorder on MXO>::shimmers>>

will_marx -> lol

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The away team de-shimmers. And then shimmers onto the stark, airless landscape within the crater.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::reshimmers:::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG+ Run a tricorder for any technology, and identify immediately.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::rematerializes::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> +CENG+ Aye, Chief.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +Sorehl+ The Buzzard has landed.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::Shimmers::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::flips it out, handily and starts scanning:::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> That's one small step for carrion...one giant leap for dinner.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Flips out his tricorder::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::looks around quickly before starting to scan ::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::looking around::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: A huge 20 meter sensor dish points upward toward the planet domination the view at "noon".

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: chuckles, looks around ::

TKAR -> @<CMO>:;REshimmers::<MXO>scanning sir,checking for lifeforms.

STSF Sorehl -> << Ahem... dominating the view. >>

will_marx -> ((Sorehl = next Bond villian? ))

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ Acknowledged. We'll keep an open channel.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::turns to 12, points::: <CENG> Doesn't take a rocket scientist, Chief. Big dish over there.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CMO> I doubt you'll find anything more than a space bacteria, Doc.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> It's . . . different.

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> <AENG> Rather big... waves? EF? RFI? ... :;mentions a dozen more:: What's it doing?

will_marx -> @ HOPS> Looks like an old DEWS site dish

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <Team> Looks bigger from the first person perspective, doesn't it?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There are no lifeforms present. The landscape is white and powdering, rising up as the edges of a crater.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> ::w:: Don't know. Gotta wait for the action statement. ::grin::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI> <Xo> Well let's just say I wouldn't put it in my backyard .. might block the view

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> Not to mention giving the neighbors the creeps.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Although powered from below, the dish is not emitting any signals at the moment.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> CSCI> But you'd probably get great TV reception.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> No signals, but a power source below, Chief.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>:;grins::<Xo> but half the fun *is* creeping the neighbours out!

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Starts moving towards the Dish::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> XO> My AENG has located a power source below, Sir.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> :: chuckles ::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Shall we see if anyone's home, Commander?

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::screws up her face::: <HOPS> TV? As in the real TV?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There are no footprints in the surrounding landscape, except those being made by the away team now.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CEng> Good.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <HOps> Indeed.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <HOPS> You think it's a TV thingy? ::obviously way off the mark:::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> ::whispers:: Don't screw up your face that way, it may freeze.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> AENG> Ya. Good old fashioned Television.

TKAR -> <@CMO><MXO>interesting no lifeforms showing<+SCI>do you have anything on your tricorder yet?

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <Team> Okay all, let's bounce. :: starts the loping low gravity "walk" toward the dish ::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::accepts Will's statement as fact:: Whoa...

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::bouncing along::: <CENG> What would they do with a TV dish up here?

will_marx -> @ HOPS> AENG> Probably not, though. Looks more like an old Early Warning System radar from the Cold War period on earth

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::(killer) rabbit-hopping like the old lunar explorers::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>:: sends data back to Science station on the ship to be compared with federation database ::

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: after seven or so of the bounces, starts to get teh hang of it ::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> ::frowing at HOPS while consoling AENG> Mr Garrett, he's pulling your leg. Keep your tricorder on.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> :::early warning, makes a note::: <CENG> Yes, sir.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::chuckles::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Moves towards the Dish takig point::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Getting close, the dish looms even larger. It appears fixed and does not have a moveable base.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <Team> I forgot how much fun this could be once you get to doing it.

TKAR -> @<CMO>::scanning with tricorder::<CSCI>Is it from earth or somewhere else?

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Indeed. Looks like it's a phased array style dish, Commander.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <HOps> Maybe if we have time after we investigate we'll call up to the ship for some golf clubs.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI><CMO> It's not any earth design I've ever seen :: looking puzzled at how antiquated the dish looks::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> And a hammer and feather.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::hoppity hop hop::: <NiP> Sure is big. :::calculates the trajectory:::

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <HOps> Hmm...

STSF Sorehl -> <Perseus> +CSCI+ This dish matches several possible designs, but nothing specific. It's consistent with a radar or imaging sensor.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Galileo's famous experiment, Commander?

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <HOps> What? Oh, yes I know that, Will, I was hmming about the phased array style part.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::frowns, turning to look at the projected trajectory of whatever it's used for:::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There is trace radiation emitted from below the base of the dish, well below the surface. Alpha and beta particle radiation, consistent with fissionable material.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>+Perseus+ Acknowledged .. Jaz out

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> It kinda looks like it's aimed at the planet, Chief.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Ah

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> That's science's initial findings... but can they really add? ::chuckles::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>:: notices low radiation level on her tricorder :: <XO> I'm getting reading of a faint radiation trace

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: waits to hear something new ::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::turns to Vilanne:::wacko:::

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> Levels and type. :: got her something new ::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> Gullible. ok..,. let's look at the radiation that science found, is it power or a leak?

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>:: levels are very low .. Alpha and beta particules ... ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Radiation levels and concentration are like those that would be produced by a low-yield fission plant.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::shrugs:: <CENG> Looks like an old type nuclear reactor to me.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Keeps a lookout::

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> Lovely. We'll have to monitor that, these suits are more ... well suited to block EM radiation than particle.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> ::shows Vil her tric:: Fission, not fusion.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Tricorders are detecting motion below the base of the sensor, but the radiation and depth are masking clear readings.

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> ::nods to the AENG:: let's see if we can find an entrance, and see what they were/are creating.

TKAR -> @<CMO><CSCI><MXO>getting the same sensor readings,we are lucky its not harmfull to us yet.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI><XO> Don't worry we're far from your hair starting to fall and your skin begging to blister levels ::grins a wee bit evily ::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::nods, turning to look around:::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> XO> Wait wait... there's some movement... can't identify yet.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> You'd just love that, seeing me bald...

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> Any better readings?

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO/CSCI> I've got a set of clippers back in my quarters...

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CEng> Movement, eh?

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::chuckles ::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> ::notes the location of the security officers::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::chuckles::

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> <CENG> No, Chief. Looking for an opening of some kind.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ Our sensors detected some movement near the base, but some residual radiation. Are you seeing anything?

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> Hold up Garrett, let security take point... just in case.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::wants to move next to Jerry 'cause he's not said anything weird, so she holds up willingly:::

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +CO+ Aye, Captain, we've detected both the radiation and movement, but still trying to pin everything down.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ :::slight static::: Understood.

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> CMO> Should we be innoculated? Are these levels save in our EV's?

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +CO+ You're starting to break up a bit, Captain. Must be getting interference from the radiation. Could you come down into a lower orbit with the ship?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There is a circular opening along one side of the base, with a hatch swivelled wide.

will_marx -> @ HOPS> ::looking around::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI><XO> the radiation are starting to affect the scan results too .. I'm not getting clear readings anymore ...

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ Acknowledged. :::off to one side::: Tar'ghet, move us in closer.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Attempts to pin point the movements on his tricorder::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Got a hatch, Commander

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> CO> Aye sir

Lisanna -> @<MXO> <CSci> Hmm... we might need to do this the hard way. :: looks over, hearing Will ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Tricorders register lifeforms, quite suddenly, emerging from the hatch.

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> CSEC> There's an air exchange duct there... I believe.. maybe we can get some readings in that? ::hopes that's what it is::

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> ::maneuvering thrusters, closing in on the station laterally and descending::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Starts picking up life forms from the hatch and draws his phaser::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Bright beams of light streak out from figures near the hatch, toward the away team.

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: squints :: What the heck?

TKAR -> <@CMO>::scanning with medical tricorder::<MXO><ALL>still no life forms yet,intereting look at this writings its greek and its the sign of the hipoccites orth.

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> AENG> ::grabs arm:: Take cover... ::rolls away behind things::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> Lis, I think we've been spotted

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::seeing Jerry draw, she steps back to give him room:::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::looks at her tricorder suddenly loosing her smarty pants permanent smirk :: <XO> I 'm now detecting life signs

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +CO+ Captain, we have company down here!

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: holds her suited empty hands up and out to hopefully show she's no threat ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: One of the points of light impacts against the CMO's EVA, which hisses.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::pulled and rolled:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ We've got them on sensors. Are those... lasers?

TKAR -> <@CMO>::ducks, o no

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +CO+ I think so... Maybe discretion would be the better part of valor here.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::attempts to dodge and roll to the side of the hatch::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There are more figures spilling out from the hatch.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::turns around fast enough to see TKar's suit loose pressure and ducks to the ground as fast as she can ::

will_marx -> @ HOPS> XO> COmmander! ::reachs to pull Lis down::

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> ::pulls out issued phaser, and sets to stunn, while scanning with tricorder from behind whatever she's hiding near::

TKAR -> <<am i dead>>

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI><XO> We need to get the CMO out of here .. Her suit as been pierced by whatever they're using as weapons

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: switches her suit to more external frequencies :: Hello there! This is Lisanna Stuart of the Federation Starship Perseus, we mean you no harm.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +XO+ Are you requesting extraction?

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>+CO+Sir, emergency transport. get Tkar out of here

Eva Jaz -> <<well if you hold your breath you probably have 3 sec >>

Lisanna -> @<MXO> +CO+ Yes, Captain. Get us up.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::hearing something, looks at TKAR and gasps::::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +CSEC+ Belay that... :::pauses, hearing Lisanna:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> +All+ Prepare for emergency beam-up.

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> Transporter room confirming solid locks

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There are more lasers firing. The CMO's suit is starting to depressurize.

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::claps her hand against TKAR's suit to stop the leak:::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::gets back to her feet , trying to avoid being a a practice target ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: MOST of the away team deshimmers.

TKAR -> <@cmo>;:tries to get the pressure suit patch on:;

Lisanna -> @<MXO> :: frownies, crouches on the surface of the moon ::

Rachel E Garrett -> <define most>

Vilanne -> @ <CENG> ::proud of the AENG, while sparkling::

will_marx -> ((Indeed))

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Maxwell and Jaz are still on the surface.

will_marx -> ((Hail and well met, Pretty Boy))

Rachel E Garrett -> @ <AENG> ::wait for it...wait for it:::::

Cdr Zareh -> << Hola >>

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: shimmers onto the pad, looks around :: Bugger it!

Rachel E Garrett -> <AENG> ::demats in the TR:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <TRC> Where are Eva and Jerry?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The figures are bounding toward the remaining two members of the away team, but firing seems to have stopped.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::watches everybody else bu her and skip shimmer away and starts running for cover ::

Eva Jaz -> *but

Vilanne -> <CENG> ::on the TR, goes over to the TR controls:: What happened to the rest of the AT? ::checks the console::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <Tar'ghet> I though we had solid locks on ALL of them.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> @<CSEC>::Doesn't run from the lifeforms::

Lisanna -> <MXO> +Sickbay+ Lisanna to sickbay, get someone up here, the Doc's suit nearly depressurized, she'll need some medical work.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::notices that the firing as stop but decides that taking cover is still the intelligent thing to do ::

will_marx -> Tar'Ghet> -=TRC=- Transporter room, relock on to Chiefs Jaz and Maxwell's comm badges

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The figures bound closer, leveling some kind of energy rifle, but don't fire as the close on Maxwell and Jaz.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <MED> +MXO+ On my way.

will_marx -> Tar'ghet> CO> Permission to bring her in closer?

STSF Sorehl -> And the bell always rings too soon.

STSF Sorehl -> Hoodies, feel free to depart.

STSF Sorehl -> Any thoughts/comments on tonight?

TKAR -> true -my aol had issue its fixed now

Cmdr JFarrington -> 'Twas fun.

STSF Sorehl -> Maxwell, good restraint on not firing back.

Cmdr JFarrington -> Ditto, Sorehl. I thought his move was great.

TKAR -> i should have ducked out more

Cmdr JFarrington -> Eva, too.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> Thanks

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> Yeah it was a really fun sim

STSF Sorehl -> I rolled a dice, TKAR.

Eva Jaz -> thanks

Hilee -> !

STSF Sorehl -> So, it was random chance this time.

STSF Sorehl -> Hilee?

TKAR -> everything is randam chance

Hilee -> A very interesting and fun sim...excellently played and timed

STSF Sorehl -> Well, unless you believe in free will. But that's a philosophical discussion for another time.

Hilee -> Well done...enjoyed it from the Gallery...Thank You GM's

STSF Sorehl -> Thanks.

Cmdr JFarrington -> I didn't know Will was free ::duck::

Eva Jaz -> ::chuckles::

TKAR -> it would be interesting if we meet these lifeform again in another sim next time part 2

STSF Sorehl -> Well, maybe not, but he may be cheap.

STSF Sorehl -> Alas, this may be our last visit to the Atlas colony for awhile. But we'll see.

Cmdr JFarrington -> So who were those masked men?

STSF Sorehl -> It's not like I got to let you see the secret underground lunar base.

August 19, 2009

As requested, the following is a composite log of the Atlas Mission, from 6.16.2009 to the present.

6.16.2009

MISSION BRIEFING: While tracking old-style radio signals, the Oberth-class starship USS Perseus has discovered a lost human colony. The 400 million colonists appear to be descendants of the warp ship S.S. Atlas, launched in 2075. Undetected, the ship has entered orbit to gather information about the colony.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS> sits at Helm station and awaits orders

Nisha Dunsel -> :: ::

STSF Sorehl -> BACKGROUND: The Danconia system is on the coreward edge of Federation space. The inhabited fourth planet is class-M and has two moons. The larger moon is tidally locked - rotating at the same rate it orbits, so the same side always faces the planet.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::enters, stands near back of bridge with arms behind back::

Vilanne -> <AMO> ::looks around sickbay, for her Chief::

Pace -> <MXO> ::on the bridge, standing near MCO::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::on the bridge, manning the sensors:::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Stands at the centre of the bridge, looking at the visual of the planet::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> Sir, I have data on the ship believed to be the origin of this colony, if you'd like a report.

Pace -> <MXO> <HOPS> Maintain a high orbit, Dunsel.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Turns to Sorehl::<CSCI>Yes, give it to me now

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Goes to the Medical Bay and get's it ready::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><CO> The S.S. Atlas was a DY-400 series ship launched in 2075, more than a decade after First Contact, but almost a century before the founding of the Federation. Even assuming several years for a journey at low warp, this colony could be more than 300 years old.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS> <MCO> Yes Sir, 500 thousand kilometers

Vilanne -> <AMO> William Kidd< ::sees the CMO entering::Chief, how are you? Dr Vilanne here to help today.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> The manifest indicates a diverse mixture of humans from various nation-states of the period.

Pace -> <MXO> <CSCI> Do we know what their original mission was?

TKAR -> <CENG>::in Energinning room checking engine output::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <CO> My earlier records suggested 400 passengers, but this did not include nearly as many children also aboard.

William_Kidd -> <CMO><AMO>I am doing good. Is everything ready?

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MXO> It appears to have been launched for the express purpose of building a nearby colony. How it got this far out is unclear.

Vilanne -> <AMO> Kidd> Well Chief, the inventory has dwindled slightly since we left port, but we should be ok. The nurses cleaned up well. I don't forsee any problems, unless you have something?

Pace -> <MXO> <CSCI,MCO> And, at that time, a recue attempt may have been hard to launch...

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Nods slowly::<CSI>Thank you Mr. Sorehl.. can you determine, assuming all survived the trip, if those 800 could have become 400 million in 300 years?

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> :: looks around listening to conversations::

TKAR -> <CENG><Hops>All systems green in enginning::<MCO><MXO>::Sending new updates to there padd::

William_Kidd -> <CMO><AMO> No I don't think there will be any problems. I just want to be ready in case there is anything the colony might have picked up.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> :::nodding::: Assuming an exponential growth of 4.3 per 20-year generation, the numbers are consistent. Also assuming no mass extinctions, diseases, or unexpected death events.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::looks at scans::: It might be possible to do a genetic study at long-range, but a sampling would speed results.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::wonders where the tactical officer went::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Excellent, thank you ::Turns to Pace:: <MXO>Prepare an away team

Vilanne -> <AMO> I have the medical records of the crew on your desk. The PADD's have their status, not all had physicals before coming on board.

Pace -> <MXO> <MCO> Aye Captain. Shall we try our best to blend in?

TKAR -> <CENG>::checking warp core flow indicator;it seems fully functional:::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::considering the question for a moment:: <MXO>For now, yes

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::taking a scan of the planetary system itself:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MXO> Confirming earlier scans, sir. The colony shows signs of pollution and industry consistent with a mid-20th Century technology. There are no signs of active subspace fields on the planet or elsewhere in the system.

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Grabs the PADD and looks it over::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Mr. Sorehl, do you have any information for me about the sensor dish on the tidal moon?

Pace -> <MXO> <MCO> Aye sir. <CSEC> Hawke, you're with me. +CMO+ Pace to Dr. Kidd, come in

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> :::turns to his instruments::: Scanning.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC><MXO> Aye, Sir.

TKAR -> <CENG>::working magic on sensor replacement on enginning console 3,replacing burnout circult for a modern bio unit::

Allen Armstrong -> <<brb>>

William_Kidd -> <CMO>+MXO+ Dr Kidd here. What can I do for you?

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> :::reporting aloud::: There appears to be some communications or sensor equipment on the larger moon. Unmanned, however.

Pace -> <MXO> +MCO+ Doctor, we are taking an away team down to the surface of the planet, I would like a medical officer to accopany us.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC><MXO> Sir, standard away team protocol requires a phaser. Since this is technically an Earth outpost, would you like us to bring weapons with us?

Pace -> <MXO> +MCO+ Doctor, meet us in the Transporter room in 5 min.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::rambling a bit::: The larger moon is tidally locked - rotating at the same rate it orbits, so the same side always faces the planet. The sensor dish is at a point that always faces the planet, as well.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS> <XO> Should I mask our orbit behind the secondary moons orbit after the away team has beamed down?

Pace -> ((Sorry, meant CMO))

William_Kidd -> <CMO>+MXO+ Okay I will meet you in the transporter room, or are we taking a Shuttle Pod down?

Vilanne -> <AMO> I'd be happy to keep an eye on things back here, Sir.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Nodding, listneing to Sorehl's assessment:: <CSCI>That does seem rather odd.

Pace -> <MXO> <CSEC> Yes, we will need phasers, to stay on the safe side

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC><MXO> Aye. Let me grab them. ::Runs off to weapons storage cabinet::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><HOPS>No, that won't be necessary. Maintain present orbit.

Pace -> <MXO> +CMO+ I don't want them to detect a shuttle, so we will beam down

TKAR -> <CENG>::checking system with the scotty enginning tricorder,has to replace more of the faulty sensor it seens to be a fake a piece that the friengi sold to the federation::

Vilanne -> <AMO> ::prepares a medical kit that was already stocked and hands it to the Chief::

Pace -> <MXO> <CSCI> Can you determine what kind of clothes we should replicate for the away team?

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::nods to Dr. Vilanne:: Thanks. ::Grabs the medkit:: +MXO+Okay the transporter room it is.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Scan the planets communications.. are any of them visual?

Vilanne -> <AMO> ::waves to the CMO:: Good Luck and Save Returns, Sir!

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::eyebrow up::: <MCO> True. Such a dish could serve like a relay satellite, but it shows no signs of operation at present.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::grabs a handful of phasers, clips two grenades to his belt, heads off to transporter room::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::scanning:::

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::nods again:: Hold down the fort.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> Confirmed. Some of the radio signals contain visual information.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Excellent.. have the computer replicate appropriate attire for the away team

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::arrives at Transporter Room with bag full of phasers::

Vilanne -> <AMO> ::goes about standard medical protocol when AT's are inacted, fills hypos with standard refills::

TKAR -> <CENG><AENG>please check the sensors to check if any units are faulty or fakes please note and send updates to starfleet enginning>

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> :::nodding::: Aye, sir. :::transfers visual data to replication center to provide clothes for the away team:::

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Heads to the transporter room and waits for the others::

Pace -> <MXO> ::walks over to the Turbo Lift, and presses the call button:: <CSCI> Have the clothes replicated in the TR room.

Pace -> <MXO> ::Enters TL as the doors open:: Transporter room 1

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><MXO>Pace.. observe Genral Order 1, for the time being..

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::Hands MXO a phaser::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Attire for the landing party has been replicated and awaits them in the transporter room.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::hands phaser to Kidd:: <CMO> Hello Doctor.

Pace -> <MXO> +CMO,CSEC+ Pace to away team, you will find clothes in the transpoter room replicator, please put them on

Pace -> <MXO> ::Turbo lift doors open and steps off, walks toward TR 1::

Pace -> <MXO> ::Arrives at TL 1, walks in::

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Sees the clothing, grabs some, and puts them on.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC><MXO> Sir, your phaser ::hands weapon butt first::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><HOPS>Maintain a constant lock on the away team once they have beamed down.

Pace -> <MXO> <CMO,CSEC> Are we ready? ::Pulls clothes off replicator and puts them on::

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::puts 'street clothes' on:: <MXO> I am now. Let's hit it.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS><MCO> Yes sir

Pace -> <MXO> <CSEC> Thanks chief. And remember, please keep ann technology hidden ::takes phaser::

Pace -> ((all))

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC><MXO> Aye. ::Pulls cloak over phaser, stun grenades::

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Takes the phaser from <CSEC>:: Thanks.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> Captain, I've selected an urban site where the primary dialect is English. Unless you have an alternate preference, sir?

Pace -> <MXO> ::Hides tricorder under vest::

Pace -> <MXO> ::Steps onto TR Pad::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>That will be excellent.. see to it that they can beam down unseen.

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Puts medkit in his messengerbag.::

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::Steps on to adjacent pad next to MXO::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><MCO> Acknowledged. I believe I have selected a windowless "alley".

TKAR -> CENG>::replacing fake sensors light circult and fake bio circult relays::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Very well, send the coordinates to to TR1

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::looks to HOPS to confirm the transporter location and lock:::

Pace -> <MXO> +Bridge+ Captain, we are ready for transport

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::Steps on the pad behind <CSEC>::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The transporter chief has the coordinates and is ready to energize upon order.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS><CSCI> yes sir

Pace -> <MXO> <Away team> Remember folks, General Order 1. no unessecary contact.

Ens_Hawke -> <CSEC> ::acknowledges::

William_Kidd -> <CMO>::acknowledges::

TKAR -> <CENG><AENG>leut,please check the console 3 if it has any lose connections.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO+MXO+ Be careful down there.. report back when you have the information we need.. we must determine how these people got here and if, in fact, they are human.

Pace -> <MXO> +MCO+ Aye sir <Transporter Chief> Energize

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The away team shimmers as the transporter chief energizes.

Pace -> ::Shimmers::

Allen Armstrong -> <<don't forget you @ tags>>

Pace -> @<MXO> ::Rematerializes::

TKAR -> <CENG><AENG>is the connection solid or missing?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The away team de-shimmers in a noisy, urban-smelling alleyway lacking windows.

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS> ::watches as 3 blips are on surface::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><HOPS>Do you have them?

Pace -> @<MXO> <Away Team> Everyone here?

William_Kidd -> <CMO>Aye Sir.

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC> ::looks around quickly:: @<MXO> I'm okay

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The CSCI console blips in response to an energy reading from the larger moon.

Pace -> @<MXO> ::Notices pungent smell::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Looks around the bridge:: Where is my tactical officer?

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS><MCO> Yes sir

Cmdr JFarrington -> <TAC is gone>

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::eyebrow up::: <MCO> Sir, it appears we are being... scanned from the outer moon.

Pace -> @<MXO> <Away team> Alright people., lets stay together for now. Let's just have a look around. Discret scans only, when you can manage them

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> :::passive scans::: Correction. More like a "ping" than a scan. From the sensor dish.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Walks around to tactical to get a tactical scan of his own of the outer moon:: <CSCI>What do you have?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Beyond the alley, small levitating transport vehicles move quietly down a shiny paved surface.

Pace -> @<MXO> ::Takes lead, walks down the alley to the adjacent street::

William_Kidd -> @<CMO>::Scans the alley way::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI><HOPS> Can you confirm? I showed an energy spike from the lunar dish.

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC><CMO> It doesn't sound too busy outside. What do the scans say?

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::shows screen to MCO:::

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS><CSCI> just over 10 megajules

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC><MXO> Levitating transport; That was developed way after this mission set out. I wonder how advanced they are; if they are human that is

Pace -> @<MXO> <Away team> hover vehicles...technology consistant with the late 21 century on earth

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Looks at the screen:: <CSCI>No way to tell if it sent any information?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: In contrast to the few shiny vehicles hovering a foot above the street, there are disheveled men gathered around the fire in a steel-drum trashcan for warmth.

TKAR -> <CENG><AENG>ensign are you cooking anything?Somethings burning;a coffee and donut.Not on my shift you are dismist.

William_Kidd -> @<CMO>::Scans area with tricorder::Not too busy at all.

Vilanne -> <AMO> ::completes filling hyposprays with the nurses, then inspects the surgical suites just in case::

TKAR -> <CENG>::makes notes on ensign::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> Unclear. Although... :::adjusts scanners:::

Pace -> @<MXO> ::Notices men around the trash can:: <CMO> Can you determine if they are completly human?

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC><MXO> Homeless? Perhaps they aren't as advanced as I thought...

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO>::Looks on::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> There appears to be an underground component to the sensor dish.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Scan for life signs

Pace -> @<MXO> <CSEC> Perhaps not...

Pace -> <<BRB>>

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Many of the buildings are skyscapers, but there are lights only in the lower ten floors.

TKAR -> <CENG>::goes to get a cup of coffee its going to be a long shift::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There are large viewscreens on some of the wider buildings, showing televised screens.

Pace -> <<Back>>

Nisha Dunsel -> <HOPS> ::monitors scans, and keeps lock on 3 away team members::

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC> ::squints eyes to see the TVs::

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><HOPS>Keep that lock. We need to be able to beam them out at a moments notice

Pace -> @<MXO> <CSEC> Can you use your tricorder to download the information being broadcasted from that display device?

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The screens show images of government public works projects, scenes from a legislative session, and a science demonstration.

TKAR -> <CENG>::calls for second ensign to take over the first ensigns job::

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC><MXO> Yes sir. I'll need to expose it however. I should be able to do it discretely.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Can you scan the installation for signs of life?

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC> ::pulls tricorder from under cloak and points it at the TVs, pressing buttons in combination::

William_Kidd -> @<CMO>It seems that this planet has developed just fine.

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> <MCO> Scanning. :::adjust::: No life signs, but there is a power plant of some kind - hmmm, more efficient that the combustible systems I'm seeing on the planet surface.

Pace -> @<MXO> <CMO> Doctor, are they entirely human?

STSF Sorehl -> < 1 minute >

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Scans of the population around the away team show they are entirely consistent with descendents of 21-st century humans - lacking some evidence of later encountered diseases and such.

Ens_Hawke -> @<CSEC><MXO> Sir, It looks like there are scenes of government public work projects, some legislative sessions, and a science demonstration. Maybe nuclear fission? I'm not quite sure.

Allen Armstrong -> <MCO><CSCI>Then someone built that there to monitor the planet.. but whom?

TKAR -> <CENG>::wonders why he got up this morning maybe i should transfer top a desk job,no way::

STSF Sorehl -> <CSCI> :::intrigued at the captain's supposition::: Indeed... who?

Pace -> @<MXO> <CMO> Developed fine, maybe. But their technology is still underdeveloped. Maybe they lack the resources on this planet to attain a higher tech lvl

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::slips into a chair, all business, then stands as the CO enters:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::motions for all to sit::: We've gathered some interesting data on this lost colony, let's try to put some of it together.

TKAR -> ::Walks in breifing room,checks report data on planet on the people::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> :;does so:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: takes a chair opposite Sorehl's spot at the other end of the table ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::turns to face the screen:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks to Lisanna::: You've been down there. What're they like?

Vilanne -> ::quietly observing and making updates on her PADD::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::meanwhile pulling up scans and comm surveys:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::full attention to Lisanna:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Definitely human, Captain, but definitely not "for the betterment of mankind" level yet. A lot of tension, if you don't fit in with what's expected you stand out and people don't bother to pretend not to notice.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::listens::: Unfriendly, by human standards?

TKAR -> ::<CMO>::nods to MXO::

Vilanne -> <::afk, taking notes while I"m afk::>>

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::knows full well that, as a Vulcan, he is himself frequently considered such:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Not necessarily "unfriendly," Captain. But from what we were able to gather "Big Brother" has a tendency to keep a tab on you, and there's little trust in the air.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks to others who were on the away team::: Is that the consensus? Any other observations from the team?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::seems to be preparing some data:::

TMir -> CENG> CO> That's the feeling what I received, Captain. Literature also supports that theory.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::nods agreement with TMir and Lisanna:::

TMir -> CENG> CO> Not much in the planetary history refers to what specifically happened to the Atlas

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::looks as though she has something to say:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <XO> Based on your suggestions, we've monitored transmissions for evidence of strikes or other economic troubles.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::refreshes herself in the notes she just took::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> :: nods ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <XO> Uniformly, the "party line" is that no such strife or concern exists, despite references to a great deal of emergency legislation and action.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks to CSEC::: A comment?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> I was just going to mention that the tension has the potential of volitility, especially to those who might inadvertantly say the wrong thing, go in the wrong area of the colony, or gesture in a way that might be perceived as taking sides...

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> It reminds me of gangland mentality, or the strike mentality of Earth's early 20th century.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSec> :: grim nod in acknowledgment to Jami's assessment ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods::: Indeed. Significant Prime Directive concerns, in that regard.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> An excellent observation. ::to all:: And this is a briefing but also a time to ask questions, so don't hold back on such.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> Question sir.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <CSCI> Go ahead.

TKAR -> <CMO><CO><MXO>the inhabidents are bipar,human in appreacance,blood type human with some andronian features antinenna for one;females are about 5' 10 to 5' 12 males are 6 feet.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> Does starfleet require an answer as to what happened to the Atlas? I mean, we clearly see that they have re-colonized here, and are utilizing some of the technology... maybe this should be hands off?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::turns her attention to Vilanne:::

STSF Sorehl -> << Actually, TKAR, these people are entirely human. No Andorian elements. >>

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: wants to know how far Stafleet Command needs us to go herself, smiles over at Vilanne for her astute and pertinent question ::

TKAR -> <OK delette antinee>

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSCI> A fair question. At this point we are indeed "hands off", but I'm inclined to learn as much about their development as reasonable without intrusion.

TMir -> ((Just don't eat the Soylent Green...))

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Did we detect any signs of "underground" transmissions?

Vilanne -> <LOL>'

TKAR -> <CMO>::Nods with agreement::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> :::considers::: By underground, you mean subversive, rather than subterranean?

Vilanne -> <CSCI> We ran many scans, and detected a lot of radio frequencies, we did not determine if they were underground. Do you want a team to go down and set a probe under the ground?

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::same question now that the CO has::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> I saw no such reports. Although it has become clear the colony is administered under several smaller governments, rather than a single unified one.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Unauthorized, yes. I realize they generally get by with low power transmissions so we may not be able to detect it via the ship.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> So it is fair to note that such transmissions are not entirely uniform in the political or linguistic arenas.

TMir -> CENG> XO> We can set up a few stealth sensor probes, and listen for pirate radio stations

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::sharp turn to T'Mir, indicating by her expression that she agrees:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> A viable option, but I'm inclined to keep our presence small. Perhaps our own communicatoins system can be modified to look for such... low-level subversive transmissions?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> It could give us a better feel for the total political situation on the planet.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> <CENG> By the signal strength?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <All> The reason for my interest in this matter, as much as I've dealt with propaganda machines it's always nice to at least get the other side of the argument so we can draw lines, find where in the middle the truth actually lies.

TKAR -> <CMO>::i can format a sensor hidden in one of their religious objects to scann there bio readings with out harming them or breaking the prime directive.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods to the XO:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CMO> Religious objects? I don't recall any reports mentioning that.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> <CENG> ::taps on her padd and comes up with HAM Radio Frequencies:: Maybe... this information about antique might help us set the probe for specific settings. It could give us local communication information since the signals are their weakest.

TMir -> CENG> CSCI> Low power curves, which limit EM interference

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> Very good. When we dismiss, let's implement a protocol for such detection.

TMir -> CENG> ::nods::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::goes back to an earlier comment::: So, no clear reports on the fate of the Atlas itself?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> No, sir. ::looks to the others::

TMir -> CENG> CO> No sir, we were unable to find any fate of the ship at the Library

TKAR -> <CMO>i found out by treatiing a little girl with a skin knee of course i used there medical supplies and i hind my medical tricorder in my traveling sack.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Not even a whisper, it seems to be a vanished time in their history.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::shakes head in agreement with everyone::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <all> Was there anything in the library about it? I don't recall.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Curious. Do they even realize they're a colony and not native to this world?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Either times were so hard they couldn't keep records, or whoever has the information has kept a lid on it.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> Due respect, Captain - they are natives of this world now. How many generations has it been?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> With their mix of technology they may have the technical expertise to do the genetics with the other life to know they aren't, but I don't know if they have. If we do send people down again, I think hitting the libraries is our best bet.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> According to our records, the Atlas left Earth in 2070. Although it may have taken years to reach this distance, that's at least 300 years from point of origin.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::nods firstto Lisanna, then to Sorehl:::

Vilanne -> <CSCI> <All> Perhaps one of the govermental leaderships are hiding this information to protect the generations of people. Were any areas protested heavier than others that we did not inspect?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Agreed. Then you think a second venture to the surface is warranted? Or advisable?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSCI> Uncertain. But we can use the ship sensors to determine that.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Knowing a bit more now I think we can head down and blend better, especially if we keep the wandering to a minimum. Get down, get the people into the libraries where even on this planet people get their noses stuck in books and don't...

Lisanna -> notice other people. :: slight smile ::

TKAR -> <CMO>::Nods to <All>they might kepted the recorders quiet can you imagine you find out you are not from this planet and find out you are not the only one in this universe -it might start a riot and change the planet war and death.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods::: What other information should we seek? Perhaps we can use the ship's resources, or choose a different location for beam down?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::looks to Sorehl, as if to make a comment::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: waits for Jami before she goes over her information shopping list ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CMO> I concur, doctor. We shall keep the Prime Directive in effect and reconsider only once we've ascertained their level of extraterrestrial knowledge.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::sees Jami's expression, holds her comment until a good break::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks to CSEC:::

TKAR -> <CMO>::Nods to CO:::<CO>Quite logical.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> I believe it would be prudent not to speculate, Captain. It's possible that the people have been more concerned with survival than with increasing their knowledge base. I don't recall seeing many in the library, but then there isn't much that would help them survive on a basic level in a library.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::considers, these humans SHOULD know about Vulcans, at least, given their departure date:::

TMir -> CENG> CO> Captain...one point...

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::looks to TMir:::

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::considers the computers she saw and how they could hack their info without giving themself away::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods at Jami, looks to CENG::: Go ahead.

TMir -> CENG> CO> THere is the possibility that the colonists of the Atlas, were not exactly "friendly" to extraterrestrials.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> :: nods, steeples fingers and listens to the others before she makes her final point ::

TKAR -> <CMO>::listens to CSCI::

TMir -> CENG> CO> Similar to the Terra One expedition

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::headtilt, not having considered that, though it is entirely possible:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods to CENG::: The thought has occurred to me. Leaving Earth so soon after First Contact suggested that as a possibility.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> But it does suggest additional caution.

TMir -> CENG> ::nods::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> Captain?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSEC> Yes.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> <CO> Do we know why the Atlas left the Sol System?

STSF Sorehl -> ?

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: continues to listen quietly now ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Our shipboard records indicate only that they intended to establish a colony, although there's no mention of a particular motivation or unified political will. Nor of a destination.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::thoughtful nod::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> If the colonists are aware of their source, it may be useful to learn if they have any origin myths or established histories.

TKAR -> <CMO>::checks medical tricorder on the little girl bio readings from main medical computer::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> So libraries and computer banks are clear options. Any other locales for a return visit?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Indeed. We should determine which population center is the "original" and focus our information gathering attempts there, as they would have the "cleanest" link to the Atlas and their past on Earth.

TMir -> CENG> ::nods::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks down at data::: That we may know. There is a seaboard city known as "Atlas Landing" - a distinct possibility.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> :: chuckles :: Might as well draw a big red X on the map there.

TMir -> CENG> CO> Captain, perhaps a detailed sensor sweep of the planet to locate any wreckage of the the ship?

Vilanne -> <CSCI> Captain, I really think we should circle the area for a short time, doing some in depth scans to isolate areas that may have secure areas, or a low concentration of habitants.

TKAR -> <CMO><CO>i would need more bio readings on more of the population to test that theory.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::perks up, as though she would really like to explore that area:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::adding::: And it may be some indication that they know of their off-world origin that several cities begin with a "New" preface.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> We have attempted that. There has been no single source of industrialized metals, indicating a ship. But we should focus on that one city, perhaps.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSCI> I concur. We'll add it to our mapping parameters.

TMir -> CENG> ::nods again::

TKAR -> <CMO><CO>Or the new city was a religous area in ancient times like egypt.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CMO> Another possibility, yes.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CEng> We'd also have to look for the materials in the architecture of the area, if they properly cannibalized the Atlas to start the colony. One of the stealth probes may come in handy there. Be nice if there was a building with "SS Atlas" over...

Lisanna -> the threshold.

TMir -> CENG> XO> Or a warp reactor providing power to a city

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> If only it were that easy.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::chuckles, envisioning a SS Atlas Bar & Grill sign::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> That's one thing we've certainly NOT seen. No evidence of subspace fields or warp technology at all.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Which is unusual in itself.

TKAR -> <CMO><all> if the goverment didnt hide that artifact like earth,s area 51.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> <CO/CENG> Perhaps they ejected the only warp core they had... thus no signs now.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> We can probably get by the next few days using remote methods only, hopefully we can gather enough social data on Atlas Landing, if it looks good, to figure out how best to send people down if required.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::eyebrow up to CMO::: Generally, I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories, but there are elements of curiousity here that might be explained by it.

TMir -> ((test))

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Agreed. Let's focus on selecting a good site and proper background for the away team. We're in no hurry.

STSF Sorehl -> << We see you, TMir >>

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::leans back:: <CO> Especially if they left the Sol System on a mission to rethink civilization.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks around::: It sounds like we have several new avenues to explore. Anything else?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <re-hi TMir>

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Indeed. They've had 300 years, thereabouts, to settle on this planet, least we can do is take some time to try to find out about a few before we violate the Prime Directive out of impatience.

STSF Sorehl -> < 3 minutes >

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> I fully agree.

Vilanne -> <CSCI> Agreed.

TMir -> CENG> Indeed

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Let us see to it, then. Dismissed.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::stands to exit::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::gets to his feet:::

Vilanne -> <CSCI> ::finishes up a few notes on her PADD before removing her body from her seat and exiting the room::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <CSEC> ::defers to the CO to exit first:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CENG> Let's get those probes ready, just in case. :::exits:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: rises, looks to CEng :: <CEng> Let me know how work on the probes go.

TKAR -> <CMO>::Checks childs bio reading::<CO>True i agree the medical computer says i need more data on the inhabidents to check if that they are from the ship from earth.

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: chuckles as T'Mir gets probes in stereo ::

STSF Sorehl -> And...

STSF Sorehl -> =/\= =/\= PAUSE SIM =/\= =/\=

STSF Sorehl -> Very nice, everyone.

STSF Sorehl -> Good interaction and thinking ahead.

STSF Sorehl -> We'll try to pick it up where the second away team beams down.

STSF Sorehl -> So come back if you want to see how it turns out!

7.14.2009

STSF Sorehl -> BACKGROUND: The Oberth-class starship Perseus has discovered a lost pre-Federation human colony, descendents of the SS Atlas launched more than 300 years ago. The colony exhibits a mix of 21st, 20th, and 19th century technology, but shows no evidence of subspace fields or warp technology.

STSF Sorehl -> MISSION BRIEFING: After an initial survey and contact, an away team has beamed down to Atlas Landing, a city on the western seaboard, dressed as natives. The away team is interested in learning the planet's history and present status, including an ongoing economic upheaval. The Prime Directive is in effect.

STSF Sorehl -> @ <CENG> :::looks to Hawke::: Looks like some of the cities developed concentrically from here, but a few leaped out to distant parts of the planet.

Eagle -> <Asci>::Looks at the XO:: Xo> Uh oh

TKAR -> <ASEC1>::hands the person the planets money for the items ::<sales person>Thank you.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: In the train station, a lot of the passengers look up, startled and uncertain.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>:: hits the jackpot in the for of a massive book entitled " all you ever wanted to know about Atlas Landing but was too scared to ask " ::

Lisanna -> <CMO> :: which isn't much of a stretch, really ::

Vilanne -> <<LOL Eva!>>

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The alert sounds again, then a pleasant face and voice on the underground viewer.

Ens_Hawke -> @<ASCI><CENG> I wonder why. Does it say there are unique resources or geographical differences?

TMir -> XO> CSEC> (q) I am...I'm confused like they are

Eva Jaz -> <<Sorry had to do it ! >>

TKAR -> <ASEC1>::walks with the group::

STSF Sorehl -> Underground Viewer> Citizens are cautioned to avoid this sector of the city. Workers are asked to return to their dwelling units until the situation can be corrected.

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI>::raised her eyebrows in a puzzled expression and turns her attentiontowards the book ::

TMir -> XO> Alrighty then...

TMir -> XO> @-nots> Everyone back on the trean

Cmdr JFarrington -> @ <AMO> ::oblivious of the problem at the smelter:::watching Sorehl explain his find to Eva:::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Beyond the underground, there is a sound of klaxons outside, up the stairs. There's loud shouting and crashing.

Vilanne -> < CSEC > MXO> W> Contaminants, perhaps? I worry for our safety.

Eagle -> <Asci><Xo/Csec/Cmo> And where is that from here? <q>

TMir -> XO> ::pulls out the map::

TKAR -> ::<ASEC1><@> Watches and tries to keep everyone safe::

Cmdr JFarrington -> Bystander> ::headshake at TMir, muttering:: Tourists.

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Some passengers scream on the other end of the platform. Toward the end of the train, bright light and loud hissing can be heard.

TMir -> XO> Everyone back on teh train now!

Lisanna -> <CMO> Oh dear.

STSF Sorehl -> < 1 minute >

Vilanne -> < CSEC > ::listens to, and herds everyone on XO's orders::

Eva Jaz -> @<CSCI><CENG><ASCI1>::noding towards the book :: this says that there is a large metalurgic industry , a big part of the local economy is in the transformation of metals

Eagle -> <Asci><Xo> <q> Sir...perhaps on board::steps onboard and gets seating next to the CMO::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The crowd rushes away from the light at the back of the train, many people surging up toward the stairs.

Lisanna -> <CMO> <MXO> I think the train might be the problem. :: watching people get back off the train ::

TMir -> XO> (m) Aw crud

STSF Sorehl -> BTW, no mention of subspace tech in any of the reading.

Vilanne -> ::dresses behind curtain, short tunic, poofy flip-doo and tall boots::

STSF Sorehl -> The authors seem uncertain about how the Atlas was able to achieve faster-than-light speeds, or make no mention of it.

STSF Sorehl -> And that hissing sound in the subway...?

STSF Sorehl -> Molten aluminum breaking through from the above-ground factory.

STSF Sorehl -> There goes the Days Without a Safety Incident board.

STSF Sorehl -> We'll see if we can pick up around the same spot next week.

Cmdr JFarrington -> How close was the library to the underground? Close enough for us to hear the commotion on the street? Or, if not close, would we have been informed of the emergency as well?

STSF Sorehl -> For next week, we'll likely start hearing something at the library.

STSF Sorehl -> But we specifically DIDN'T get the warning message in our part of town.

STSF Sorehl -> It's not a very GOOD urban warning system, is it?

Log for July 21 was lost in cyberspace.

8.4.2009

STSF Sorehl -> BACKGROUND: The Oberth-class starship Perseus has discovered a lost pre-Federation human colony, descendents of the SS Atlas launched more than 300 years ago. The colony exhibits an unusual mix of 21st, 20th, and 19th century technology, but shows no evidence of subspace fields or warp technology.

Cmdr JFarrington -> ::enters and takes the HOPS console::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: back on board after escaping boiling hot metal and crowd trampling, enters the bridge ::

STSF Sorehl -> MISSION BRIEFING: After sending several away teams to the surface to learn more about the colony, the crew is now back aboard the ship recovering from their mission. The Perseus is preparing to leave orbit, but the captain is considering if a Federation presence or probe should be left behind.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO>:::in the center chair, fingers steepled::: Welcome back, XO.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Thank you, Captain. Just came from sickbay, looks like our injured crewmember will come along nicely.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Good news, then. I expect we'll get underway within the hour. Anything you'd like to report of note?

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI>:: at science station analysing incoming data compiled by the away teams debriefings on a PADD ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::checking systems status, configuring orbit debark:::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Definitely not Utopia down there, Captain, though I imagine they'll come around eventually. Their immediate history seems a lot less turbulent than Earth's. One of these days, we'll be able to welcome them to the galaxy.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nodding to XO::: But not yet, I take it.

will_marx -> ASEC> ::flops down on to a couch in the Security office::

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><ASCI>Any thoughts on the incoming scientific data you're looking at? ::at alternate science station::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC2>::looking up from his PADD::Did you happen to read that bit regarding their defensive capabilities?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <XO> Not yet, no sir. I'm thinking we should leave a probe in high orbit over the planet, keep an eye on things remotely so the Federation can monitor their progress, be ready to meet them when they are.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::receives engineering update and making suggested allocations::: <TAC> Sensor response is adequate?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><ASCI> :::swivels toward science station, hearing CSCI::: Yes, you were down there, Jaz. What was your impression?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::blinks hearing TKAR reporting to everyone:::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><HOPS> Aye, sir. As nimble as before.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><HOPS> Sorry, force of habit.

TKAR -> <CMO>::checks on injured crew member::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::sits back to monitor the board, awaiting developments:::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::Sits across from ASEC1, reports in hand::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Honestly, sir, they could hop to it at any time, really, but they're not quite organized enough in my professional opinion, nor is space a priority for them. They haven't even pegged to satellites yet, though they have the capability.

will_marx -> ASEC> CSEC> Ya think, Chief? What I wouldn't give for some shore leave time...maybe on Risa or somewhere else with a tropical beach

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><ASCI> I agree. 21st, 20th, and 19th century technology ... the SS Atlas.

Hamlin Taylor -> ::at alternate science station::

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI><CO>from my experience down there and from the other team data I don't think we're in danger of having the probe discovered for quite some time

TKAR -> <CMO>::Sends more information on the beings to co padd::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASEC1> That's some wishful thinking

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI><CSCI> It was most fascinating .. the cars hovering but the rest so ancient ... :: smiles as she remembers ::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC1>Well I'm not sure I could get you any shore leave on Risa but how about you head back to your quarters and get cleaned up. I'll keep you informed if anything comes up.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> True. Perhaps something harder to run into accidentally. <HOPS> Any small natural satellites or asteroids? :::to himself::: And they do have a tidally-locked moon, don't they?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Aye, sir. Tidally locked moon. A small asteroid belt.

TKAR -> <CMO>::Makes notes on some of the samples that picked up::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: nods, looks to Jami to hear what the system has to aid their well intentioned snooping ::

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI>:: goes back to her reading ::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Either one would serve for surveillance.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::puts the information on the viewscreen:::

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Always the best kind, Erika.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSCI> Mr. Taylor, I'd like you and your team to determine the best method of setting up a probe or sensor that we can leave behind with minimal chance of accidental detection.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::looks at sensors to follow the surveillance conversations::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> The moon sounds ideal, sir. By the time they're ready to go land on it we can always slip back in and retrieve it.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::smiles at ASEC1's answer::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> What about personnel? Does this planet warrant a cultural observer? And could they safely stay and remain undetected?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::can think of several she would like to leave behind, but keeps her thoughts to herself:::

will_marx -> ASEC> ::smirks at Erika::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nods at XO's moon suggestion:::

TKAR -> <CMO>::Goes to check on crewmember in sick bay before finishing medical reports::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Yes and no, Captain. I don't think we could pull off a long term, on planet analysis at this time, even though it would be nice to have. I'm afraid Starfleet's Sciences Division will have to monitor using the probe and further evaluate a...

Lisanna -> future opportunity.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Very good. I concur.

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI>:: is still engrossed in her analysis::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC1>::Makes a note of it in the report::I'll be sure to further explore that, thanks for mentioning it.

TKAR -> <CMO>::finishes medical reports and schedules for the next mission::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::system stellar cart information still on the viewscreen:::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::looks to CSCI:::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASCEC1> I suppose we all need a happy thought or two to get us through molten metal ::laughs::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::gets to his feet:::

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Indeed.

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><ASCI> Does the SS Atlas planet colony have any natural satellites? Refresh my memory? Any ideas on setting up a minimal chance of accidental detection system?

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::wipes his eyes trying to clear his mind as he continues to tackle the mountains of reports brought back from away teams::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Helm, take us out of orbit and closer to the primary moon.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> One thing I believe we'll have to keep an eye on, and I of course I mean Starfleet by "we," is that due to their extra-planetary origins, a few rogue adventurers might manage what they can't yet as a society, almost like Cochrane did.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::taps the console, releasing them from orbit:: <CO> Moving from orbit to the primary moon. Approach in 2 minutes.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> :::glance to Lisanna::: Yes, your Cochrane was quite a surprise to my Vulcan ancestors.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::pays close attention to sensors as she moves...don't want any surprises!!::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Geosynchronous orbit of the moon, sir?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><HOPS> Confirmed.

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><ASCI>I like the dark side of the moon, avoid detection. Or a crater.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::wishes she had some coffee right about now, stands:: <CSEC><ASEC1> Coffee?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Aye, Captain. <CSCI> Send coordinates for desired position.

TKAR -> <CMO><AMO>doctor how are our supplies are doing ? The new tricorder working out or does it still have bugs in it?

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Sure. I'll go with you

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI><CSCI> 2 moons Sir, I think if we launch a probe capable of following the moon's rotation it would remain undetected .. I've been working on a plan to do so . let me transfer you the data :: transfers data over to CSCI's console ::

will_marx -> ASEC> ::Stands::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><CSCI> If I recall earlier reports, the moon is tidally locked. The same side always faces the planet. We should be able to locate a suitable crater.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC2>::looks up momentarily giving an affirmative nod::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> :: smiles :: If he seemed illogical to us, I imagine he must've been quite out of the realm to them.

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><CO> Thank you Sir for your attention. Yes Sir.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::places his padd down on the table::

will_marx -> ASEC> ::holds the door open for Erika::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::goes with CSEC and ASEC1 for coffee:: <ASEC> Thank you

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CSCI> Awaiting coordinates for orbit.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::follows behind the two officers::

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI>:: goes back to her primary analysis of the planet ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The external sensors register an electromagnetic signal, sweeping over the ship, pausing on it, then cutting off.

TKAR -> <CMO>::goes and double checks the crewmember in sick bay::<Crewmember>your injures are healing you can go to your quarters tomorrow and go back to work thenext day.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <HOps> :: steps up behind :: Wonder if anyone on Atlas is looking up at their moon with a telescope right now? Wouldn't be amusing if after all our efforts to remain hidden below some science geek gets an eyeful of the Perseus.

Hamlin Taylor -> <CSCI><HOPS> Shadow of the moon is recommended for orbit. Avoids detection.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> External signal momentarily, captain.

will_marx -> ASEC> CSEC/ASEC2> I'd give my eye teeth to see what caused them to become a police state...or who.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><CO> Sir, I just registered an electromagnetic signal, low level.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::passes to TAC:::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::looks up at HOPS; stops talking, letting Jami take it::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASEC> Eye teeth?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CSCI> Coordinates, please?

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::Grins:: Please, go for it.

TKAR -> <CMO>::checks scanns of crew sees something strange::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Let us hope not. Even 21st Century astronomers from your planet had to rely on moon-orbiting satellites to resolve items as small as us. Still, it bears consideration.

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI>;;notices a change in her console sensors :: <CSCI> Sir I believed we were being scanned :: looking puzzled :: rudimentary .. and EM signal ...

Lisanna -> <MXO> <HOps/Tac> Triangulate.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <Go for it Hawke>

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Old expression.

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC1/2>::jokingly::We undoubtedly have a PADD on that somewhere

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::perks up at reports from TAC and ASCI ::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><MXO> I'm not positive, but I think the signal came from the direction of one of the moons

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The source of the signal was a crater on the moon that Perseus is approaching.

Ens_Hawke -> <<Score!>>

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Just like Hawke said.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <Tac> Interesting...

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> :::blinks:::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASEC> Oh, I guess I'm not up to date on my old sayings

will_marx -> ((TMA-01?))

Lisanna -> <MXO> <HOps> Any signs of transmissions from the moon to the planet?

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><MXO> It may have been probing us?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <XO> None, Commander.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Perhaps the Atlas dropped off something on the way into the system.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> I didn't think the Atlas colony showed any signs of space-capable technology...

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> A distinct possibility.

Eva Jaz -> <ASCI><CSCI> Sir , if I may ...

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: There is no indication of transmission towards the planet.

will_marx -> ASEC> ::chuckles::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> I'd say an oblique approach and a scan would be in order... if it's not transmitting to the planet, we're not technically "caught" yet.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><MXO> Like a distress bouy?

Cmdr JFarrington -> ROSTER UPDATE - Eva is CSCI

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI><XO> I was thinking backto the hovering care we seen on the planet .. there must be some kind of understanding of electromagnetic fileds to make that kind of technology work ...

Eva Jaz -> *cars

Eva Jaz -> *fields

Lisanna -> <MXO> <Tac> Or perhaps a remote sensor that no one's listening to anymore. :: shrugs ::

Eva Jaz -> <<sorry typo invasion>>

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: A second electromagnetic signal sweeps out from the crater, touching the ship briefly, pausing, sweeping over again, then cutting off.

TKAR -> <CMO>::Rechecks scans::<MXO><CO>this is the doctor i,m getting strange readings on the our crewmembers bio signs they are fuctuationing.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><CO> We got hit again. Same thing as before.

will_marx -> ASEC> ::walking into the mess hall::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Agreed. <HOPS> Take a parabollic approach to that crater.

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::thinking the crater is in a position they might have wanted to use for their own sensor:::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Aye, Captain. Approaching the crater.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>:: tap tap tap , trying to find out more about the signal ::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><CO> May I recommend shields, Sir?

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSci> True, and it's a possiblity they got something to that moon at some point. See if you can match it to anything on record, if it's part of the original Atlas technology it should match in the database.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Suggested distance? ::still en route, slow progress:::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: The signal resembles frequencies used in earlier centuries for radar.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::grabs 3 cups of coffee, hands one to CSEC/ASEC::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::nods:: <MXO> Aye sir, I'm on it

TKAR -> <CMO>::starts checking her bio signs against her recent check up::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC2>::takes the cup gently from her hand and smiles::Thanks

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><HOPS> :::thinking::: 200km apogee

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><TAC> Nothing belligerent... yet.

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: leans against a rail and crosses her feet ::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><CSEC> You're welcome ::smiles back::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::patches readings through to CSCI:: Can you see what you can make of this? I'm not exactly at the right station for wave analyization....

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Thanks Erika.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Approaching to 200km apogee in five..four..three..two... achieved.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><CO> Aye.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASEC> No problem

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::hearing HOPS::: Well, they're not going to miss us now. Let's take a look ourselves. Visual onscreen.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>:: is runing a comparative analysis of the electromagnetic field to the data mentionning the original Atlas technology .. to see if the signal could be emitiing from something that was reverse engineered or put in robit shortly after the ...

Lisanna -> <MXO> <HOps> Orient our attitude for minimal display profile toward target.

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Onscreen, aye. ::does so:::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI> ::landing itself ::

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::takes a sip, makes a face:: Needs cream and sugar

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <CO> Cartographic and sensor readout overlay.

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: looks up toward the screen ::

STSF Sorehl -> ACTION: Magnified image shows a sensor dish, pointed upward from the depth of one of the moon craters. It appears to be in good working order.

TKAR -> <CMO>+<CSCI>Could you check these bio signs::Sending data to library computer::Aganst any thing you have in star fleet records?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::peers at the screen, then checks the configuration:::

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC><ASEC1><ASEC2>::takes another sip::I don't know, always preferred mine black.

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC> ::wonders if someone else has interest in the colony also...::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>::looks over the images and is still running the comparative analysis ::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> If it's old, I'm curious about the power plant. If it's solar it'd have to have good batteries for the long moon nights with a tidally locked orbit.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>+CMO+ I'll get someone on it

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><CSEC><ASEC2> Guess I like the sweeter things in life

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::nodding to XO::: And well shielded to have been obscured from our initial sensor scan of the system.

will_marx -> (( ::is suddenly jonsing for a donut:: ))

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::folds arms:::

will_marx -> ASEC> ::looking out the viewport::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> Perhaps we should get a closer look.

TKAR -> <CMO>+<CSCI>Thanks i appeciate it-doc out.

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI>:;passes the CMO 's data to an ASCI::

Lisanna -> <MXO> :: waits for some more data to come in, pondering, looks over at Sorehl :: <CO> Shuttle, with an EVA or transport with an EVA?

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> You're fully rated for EVA. Is it worth taking a security team, with some science, down for a look?

Jerry 'Skip' Maxwell -> <CSEC>::pulls up a chair to a table and takes a seat::

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::musing:: There doesn't seem to be a whole lotta energy coming from it. <TAC> Anything you have that might make it ..uh..dangerous?

Lisanna -> <MXO> I'm curious enough to ignore the emotional pain of donning the suit, Captain. If I am, so are they. :: grins ::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::has Prime Directive concerns, but not about knowledge of other sparefarers, since the Atlas left Earth after First Contact with Vulcan::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI><XO> After analysis I don't believe this is something that was launched soon after the landing , when the survivor still had the knowledge ... it appears too ... new ..

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> ::hearing Eva, wonders::

TKAR -> <CMO><AMO>lets try the new medical tricorders lets try a narrower signal that might work.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::takes seat next to CSEC::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> :::hearing CSCI::: I concur. It would show more signs of age. And the power... :::trails off:::

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><HOPS> I don't think so. I detect no weapon signatures of any kind, nor any charging ports for weapons. If it has them, I don't see them. I suppose the wrost it could do is knock some of our systems offline with those waves? Even then...I doubt it

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <CSCI> Is it inconsistent with their techology entirely? I mean, it's not a... Klingon sensor, is it?

Cmdr JFarrington -> <HOPS> <TAC> They were pretty low level, though.

Erika MR -> <ASEC2><ASEC> A penny for your thoughts?

will_marx -> ((::absentmindedly humming Also Sprach Zarathustra:: ))

STSF Sorehl -> < 1 minute >

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CSci> :: looks to see what she thinks ::

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> Is that the going rate? We're in orbit around one of the moons..

Ens_Hawke -> <TAC><HOPS> My thoughts exactly. Unless it was a carrier wave of some kind, I think we're pretty in the clear. Of course...the last time I said that... ::voice trails off::

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI><CO> Technology is not something that could ahve been reversed enginereed from anything on the orignial atlas even with 300 yrs of research ..and it doesn't match anything readings from the planet .. but it;s definitty not Klingon sir ... too ..

Eva Jaz -> <CSCI><CO> rudimentary

Erika MR -> <ASEC2> ::laughs:: <ASEC> Alright, a penny per letter

STSF Sorehl -> <CO> <CSCI> Interesting.

TKAR -> <CMO>::tries the tricorder with a narroweer sensor beam::

STSF Sorehl -> <CO><XO> Prepare your away team.

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Aye, definitely worth a jaunt on the moon, sir.

STSF Sorehl -> And...

will_marx -> ASEC> ASEC2> ::chuckles::

Lisanna -> <MXO> <CO> Nods, aye sir.
