21:01	EnsSHidewara:	(Will temporarily be intermittent, I have to set up AIM on this thing for Nigala later)
21:02	CaptMcCloud:	We have been attempting to retrace the possible flight that Armand's ship had flown, in an effort to find his homre p;anet of Tronng. Thus far, these efforts have proven futile. Commander Hart says that it can't be too far off, as the ship, itself was not warp capable. That narrows down the search pattern. I have sent Armand down to sick bay to get a full work up. His two... protectors had died of radiation poisoning, so that concerns me. I have also asked Counselor Hidewara to keep an eye on the lad, so she should be down there as well. =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\=
21:05	Moonshadows:	((And the Tac officer hs been restrained from teaching Armand to smoke her cigars))

21:06	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] Very good Lieutenant. Work closely with Lt. Banning on that as well.

21:07	DrFenway:	AMO> :: smiles as he sees Armand and Hidewara enter:: Ahhh... and a fine good morning to you both.
21:08	EnsSHidewara	(CNS) is on the bridge
21:08	Lt_Banning:	SCI >[ TAC ] Got them, Moon. I'll increase scans in Sector 34. That looks like a good candidate.
21:08	EnsSHidewara:	((Oops on the sick bay))
21:09	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: on the bridge in her usual chair ::
21:09	Moonshadows:	TAC>[OPS] You get finer readings than the targeting scanners... but every bit helps

21:10	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ OPS ] Lt. Wren. Monitor frequencies for ANY traffic that could possibly lead us to Armand's home.
21:11	EnsSHidewara:	CNS>[Armand] Hm?
21:11	CaptMcCloud:	=/\=ACTION: Moon's sensor sweep, shows a planet with pre-warp technology. =/\=
21:12	DrFenway:	AMO >[ Armand ] :: smiles:: It is merely a form of greeting amongst my people.

21:12	Lt_Wren:	Ops >[ CO ] I'm swapping through the frequencies as much as I can. I have a program running to assist in listening to all frequencies as well Captain
21:13	DrFenway:	AMO >[ Armand ] Okay. I'm going to ask you to jump up on this bed here, remove your shirt and lie back on the bed.
21:13	Lt_Banning:	SCI >[ CO ] COnfirmed, sir. I'm running deeper scans now, but we have a possibility.
21:14	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] Send coordinates to helm, Lieutenant.
21:14	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Continues scanning surrounding space for anyu other contact, ship or planet::
21:14	Moonshadows:	TAC>[Helm} Sending coordinates now!
21:15	Bot:	Armand> :: does as the doctor asks, and liies back on the bed. Jumps back up the minute the bio-monitors start beeping and pulsing.::
21:15	EnsSHidewara:	CNS > [Armand] Good morning is an expression we use for greeting between dawn and high noon.
21:15	CmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] Coordinates received, Captain. Course laid in.
21:16	Moonshadows:	TAC.[CO] No other contacts as far as I can scan sir
21:18	DrFenway:	AMO >[ Armand ] :: places his hand gently on Armand to reassure him:: It is okay. That is the way this... bed is supposed to work. Here lay back down and look at the monitor up here.

21:19		EnsSHidewara left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
21:19	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] Execute, Warp 7. And use extreme caution when entering the system. They may have warning systems, but no space flight program.
21:19	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] That would not preclude orbital and planetery defense systems sir, wise decision
21:20	Bot:	Armand> :: Lays back down as instructed. Glances up at the monitor::
21:20	CmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] Aye, sir. :: taps the helm, sending the ship to warp::
21:21	DrFenway:	AMO> :: takes Armand's hand and places it over the boy's heart:: You feel that pulse? That is the beating of your heart.

21:22	Bot:	Armand> Yes. I feel it.
21:23	CmdrVanik:	HELM >[ TAC ] We're not Intrepid members anymore, Moon. That was the last ship. We're Luna Members now.
21:23	CmdrVanik:	HELM> :: laughs::

21:24	Cmdr_Jorel:	(( wb ))
21:25	EnsSHidewara:	(I quit my Android machine)
21:25	DrFenway:	AMO> Now if you look at this reading here. :: points to a spot on the monitor:: You will see it coincides with your heartbeat.
21:25	Cmdr_Jorel:	(( lol))
21:25	CmdrVanik:	(Yes, Welcome back)
21:26	EnsSHidewara:	(Back on PC)
21:26	Bot:	Armand> Yes. I see it! What are the other indicators?
21:27	DrFenway:	AMO> They show your respiration, how much you breathe, and other vital functions of your body.
21:28	DrFenway:	AMO> :: takes his tricorder and runs it slowly over Armand's torso::

21:29	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Armand] You said it yourself. My brother wanted to serve on Starfleet.... ::trails off::
21:29	CmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] We are on approach of the system, Captain. Slowing to 1/2 impulse.
21:30	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] Fine scans under weigh sir...
21:30	Bot:	Armand> :: senses the counselor's sudden change in demeanor:: [CNS] You have a brother?
21:31	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC/SCI ] I want to know if they have any detection grids before we enter the system.
21:31	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Armand] ::sighs:: Yes. I have one brother. His name is Takaguchi.
21:31	EnsSHidewara:	He wanted to go into Research and Development.
21:31	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] Nothing yet sir... recommend caution, we could stand off and scan further
21:32	CaptMcCloud:	=/\=ACTION: The ship is suddenly scanned and hailed. =/\=
21:32	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] Being scanned!
21:32	Lt_Wren:	Ops >[ CO ] we are being hailed Captain
21:32	EnsSHidewara:	((My last one was obviously still to Armand))
21:32	Bot:	Armand >[ CNS ] Did he not go into this?
21:33	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] All stop, Mr. Vanik. [OPS] On screen.
21:33	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Armand] It's not that he didn't, it's that... that... ::suddenly begins to weep uncontrollably::
21:34	Lt_Banning:	(Dagg, and I thought you were talking to Fenway. :D )
21:34	Lt_Wren:	Ops >[ CO ] :: puts it on screen::
21:34	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] Shields on standby sir
21:35	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Armand] ::through her tears:: ...that I don't know what became of him.
21:35	DrFenway:	AMO> :: totally surprised at the counselor's reaction. Comes around to her:: [CNS] Are you alright?

21:35	CmdrVanik:	HELM >[ CO ] All stop, aye,sir. :: stops the ship::
21:36	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Fenway] ::nods:: Yes, it's mainly my empathic abilities that get in the way here.
21:36	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Fenway] Thanks anyway.
21:36	CaptMcCloud:	=/\=ACTION: A blue-skinned male, with what appear to be gills off the side of his head appears on the screen. =/\=
21:37	Moonshadows:	TAC>::She looks up, ears go back::
21:37	CaptMcCloud:	CO >+[ Alien ]+ I am Captain Rayne McCloud of the starship Eagle, from the United Federation of Planets.
21:38	Moonshadows:	TAC>::She feeds the source of the transmission into her targeting computers for practice::

21:39	Bot:	Alien> +[Eagle]+ I am tRunick of Vastar. Please state your business.
21:39	CaptMcCloud:	CO >+[ tRunick ]+ We are looking for a planet called Tronng.
21:39	EnsSHidewara:	CNS >[Armand] Oh no, please do not blame yourself. Although you do remind me a little of him. It was what happened on that fateful day... and how I wound up on this ship.
21:40	DrFenway:	AMO >[ CNS ] If you wish to unburden yourself, Armand and I are willing to listen.
21:41	Moonshadows:	TAC>::She scans for weapons emplacements, orbital and surface::
21:41	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo> :: listens to the conversation::
21:41	EnsSHidewara:	CNS> ::decides it couldn't hurt:: [All in sickbay] Is there a way to project telepathic images on a screen yet? ::giggles::
21:41	Bot:	tRunick >+[ CO ]+ :: blinks a miment:: Never heard of the place. Sorry. Not here. This is Vastar.
21:43	DrFenway:	AMO >[ CNS ] I do not believe so, but I do give you permission if you wish to project it to me directly.
21:43	Bot:	Armand >[ CNS ] As do I.
21:44	CaptMcCloud:	CO >+[ tRunick ]+ We have picked up a survivor from there and are trying to get him back home.
21:44	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] III detect neither warp technology nor matter / antimatter power
21:44	Bot:	tRunick >+[ CO ]+ Doesn't exist anym.... I mean not here! This is Vastar!
21:45	EnsSHidewara:	CNS> ::flashes the following scene:: ~It is an unusually warm day in Tokyo. Sadako and her older brother, whom she calls Taka, are walking along a broad avenue of department stores.~
21:45	Moonshadows:	TAC>::On impulse, she scans the surface for evidence of war damage::

21:45	EnsSHidewara:	((~~ is thought-projection btw))
21:46	Lt_Banning:	SCI >[ CO ] They do have nuclear power, Captain. Plus I am detecting the launch of two ships from the planet.
21:46	CaptMcCloud:	(Yes. There might even be a room command for it. It's been so long I forget.)
21:47	EnsSHidewara:	(I'm using Pidgin so whatever it is won't work)
21:47	Moonshadows:	TAC> {CO] COnfirm launch... Two contacts, lifting fast

21:47	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] Keep a track on them.
21:48	Moonshadows:	TAC>:: Glances up::[CO] Tracking sir... charge phasers?
21:48	CaptMcCloud:	CO > :: looks over to Jorel:: [XO] What do you think?
21:48	EnsSHidewara:	CNS> ::continues:: ~Suddenly, the brother spots a team of what looks like Vulcans on vacation in Japan. How harmless could they be?~
21:49	DrFenway:	AMO> ::nods his agreement of the Vulcans::
21:49	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ co ] I think we have the right planet, and I think there is a huge political situation going on that we don't want to get into the middle of. However, we have a young boy to consider.
21:50	Moonshadows:	TAC>[XO] The Prime Directive, like the Speed of Light, is only a suuggestion, COmmander ::Tail coils, whiskers spread forward::
21:50	CaptMcCloud:	CO >+[ tRunick ]+ tRunick of Vastar. May we approach your planet?
21:51	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ tac ] the Prime Directive is NOT a suggestion Moonshadow.
21:51	HAIL:	tRunick >+[ CO ]+ For what purpose?
21:51	EnsSHidewara:	CNS> ::cont'd:: ~Vulcan #1 >[Taka] I hear there is a game you humans play called baseball, and there is such a contest around here, but I cannot find its location. Do you think you could point me in the right direction?~
21:51	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] SHips clearing atmosphere, they are NOT entering orbital profile
21:52	CaptMcCloud:	:: the ships do plot a course directly for the Eagle. Their weaponry reads as high powered lasers.
21:52	Moonshadows:	TAC>[CO] I confirm they are on appoach to Eagle. Weapons charged, seems to be lasers sir! Sound red alert?

21:53	Cmdr_Jorel:	xo >[ tac ] not so fast Moon, yellow alert would be appropriate
21:53	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] Go to yellow alert. I doubt their lasers will even penetrate the shields.
21:54	Moonshadows:	TAC>::Punches up the alert:: Yellow alert! Shields up!
21:54	CaptMcCloud:	(Scratch mine. Good call XO)

21:59	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ TAC ] IF they come at us, and fire their lasers, then I want you to hit them with a low intensity phaser beam. Just enough to jar their preserves.
21:59	Moonshadows:	TAC>[co] Aye sir
22:00	CaptMcCloud:	CO >[ HELM ] No, Mr. Vanik. Just hold us here for a few. [ SCI ] Mr. Banning see what you can learn of Vastar from this vantage point.
