Shran113: =====BEGIN SIM=====
Shran113: CO>::He is standing near his chair on the bridge of the USS Aryes.::
cyldegreathouse: MACO>::Enters the brisge::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::he finishes what he was working on in sickbay, just the usual, making sure that everything is in order. He leaves for the bridge only to arrive there shortly afterwards::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Waddles on to the bridge::
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He enters the bridge having been called from a particularly interesting geothermal experiment he was observing.::
Strsfly7: Vs> he enter the bridge and looks around.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::follows his waddling wife onto the bridge, then moves over to the Tactical control board::
KieleChristienne: Ops> ::Walks in a few minutes prior to her shift and nods a greeting to those already there.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>I need to sit down ::she sits down::
Shran113: CO>::He looks around at his crew, and his antennae pull back gently in simple pride.::ALL>i do apologize for calling you all here at the beginning of shift. I know we all have work to accomplish so I will be brief.
Shran113: CO>ALL>As you may have heard T'lar has taken a position at the Science Academy back on Vulcan.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::nods::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CO > She'll be missed..
Strsfly7: Vs>CO she was a good crew member.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CO> Yes she will
Shran113: CO>::He simply nods.::ALL>I am in need of a new executive officer... I have given this a lot of thought and there were certainly two candidates that stood clearly out in my mind, but in the end unfortunately I can only offer the position to one.
Shran113: CO>OPS>MCO>Captains Christinne and Greathouse step forward please.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Steaps forword::
KieleChristienne: Ops>::Steps forward and stops at attention::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::He looks even taller standing at attention::
Shran113: CO>::Shran moves from one to the other removing their Marine Captain's rank from their collars and replacing them with the rank pins of Major. He has to strech a bit for the taller Greathouse. He salutes them both.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO> CO>Thank you Sir
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Returns Salute::
KieleChristienne: Ops> ::Smiles but remains at attention until dismissed::
Shran113: CO>OPS>Major Christienne, you have come to us from the Pegasus highly recommended and from what I have observed of you in our prior encounter, all the stories I have heard are true. Major, Kiele Christienne, I formally offer to you the postion and responsibility of Executive Officer of the USS Aryes.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::mutters a curse, not happy with the captain's decision::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Stays at Attention but is happy for Kiele::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Smiles At Kiele::
KieleChristienne: Ops>CO> Thank you, Sir. I accept both and hope to improve on that service with you here.
Shran113: CO>::He nods and turns to Greathouse.:: MCO>Major Cylde Greathouse, you were my obvious second choice. I could never ask for a more loyal or fierce offiver, which is why I came to the decision to have you remain as commander of the Aryes Marine forces... Additionally, I have decided to act on a decision I have been coming to for a while.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at Shran::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Looks on wondering whats up::
Shran113: CO>MCO>I am merging the Aryes naval security with the Marines. You will now have the responsibility of the Marine Commander and the Chief Security Officer... as well as the position of my Second Officer is you will accept it.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> Yes Sir! with great Honor
Shran113: CO>::He nods and imitates a human smile, before saluting.:: XO>MCO>Dismissed.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Smiles at Clyde::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Salutes the CO and steps back::
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Salutes and returns to her place in the group.::
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He smiles at the two officers before a thought dawns on him.:: NOIP>Damnit, I am back at Ops again, aren't I?
Shran113: CO>CSCI>Yes, Lieutenant you are ops again... VS>And Ensign Mank i would ask if you could take Helm for the time being?
Strsfly7: Vs> Co ok sir i would like to.
Shran113: ACTION>An indicator on the tactical console starts blinking to show an incoming communication.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks to the control board then back t shran:: CO > incomming hail, sir
JLtAidanMcKenzie: to
Shran113: CO>TAC>Onscreen, Lieutenant
Strsfly7: Vs> ::::he walks to the helms chair and takes a seat..:::::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Goes get up and falls back down::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::transfers hail to main screen::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> :he helps Cindy up:: CNS> are you okay?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>:Takes Security station::
cindyleemckenzie: CMS>CMO>Yes Just extra weight getting up ::she giggles::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks at Robert with a glare a moment before turning his attention back to the tactical controls::
ST NPC01: ADM>::On the main viewscreen a Vulcan dressed in the uniform of an Admiral appears.:: CO>Captain Shran. I am sorry did i interrupt a party?
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Tentatively walks to the XO's chair and seats herself.::
Robert Devoroh: CMO>CNS> are you sure? Maybe we should take you down to sickbay just in case?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Checks on the secuirity teams and his Marines::
Shran113: CO>ADM>No Admiral Ta'nek. I just promoted my new first officer.
KieleChristienne: XO>::Nods to the Admiral::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks back to Robert:: CMO > She said she is fine ::he practically said in a growled whisper::
ST NPC01: ADM>::His look changes in the way that vulcans do when they disapprove of something, but he continues.:: CO>I have come across a bit of interesting Earth history, Captain.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> I'm Sure ::she looks at Aidan:: Tac> Hes just doing his job
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Listens::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::will have to set Aiden straight later, would normally now but while the admiral is up its not the right time:: CNS> ::nods:: okay, if you change your mind just let me know. When's your next ultrasound?
Strsfly7: Helm> he likes he new job he likes flying a ship.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks to the viewscreen without comment::
ST NPC01: ADM>CO>It appears a North American Marine Captain by the name of Sean J. Aryes is credited for the defense of Paris during the conference of 2049. Reports say he led a counter-attack on a enemy encampment to destroy a jamming device that was preventing support from reaching the troops stationed there... History also reports that he along with his team died in the attempt, though it was successful... Does this no sound familiar?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> Next week boy I'm dreading that walk
Shran113: CO>ADM>Yes, sir.
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::chuckles:: CNS> well you know if you ever want to stop by just to see the babies, which goes for Aiden too... If you two want to stop by to see the babies, you can at anytime. I dont mind
ST NPC01: ADM>CO>It should, the ship you are standing on is named in his honor.
Shran113: CO>AMD>I was not aware...
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO>I'll be stopping their on my way back to my office to rest
ST NPC01: ADM>CO>Of course not... but remember that the next time you go mucking about in time... Your actions have consquences.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at the screen::
Robert Devoroh: CMO>CNS> okay if you need help just call, and I'll send my staff faster than white on rice ::smiles getting ready to leave for sickbay after excusing himself from the bridge::
Shran113: CO>AMD>Is the sole reason for your call to reiterate what Temporal Investigations has already told me, sir?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Heads for her Office::CMO> I'll call if I need help
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Putting on her best 'I don't understand the problem' expresssion.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::mutters:: self > no mention of me in the hirtory books, i see..
ST NPC01: AMD>CO>No, just making sure you are aware of teh severity of it all... My purpose for calling is your next mission. It is one only you can fulfill, and one that I am sure even your crew can handle.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: *history
Shran113: CO>::He antennae pull back a bit but he makes no sound.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::wants to say they can handle anything but keeps quite::
ST NPC01: ADM>CO>As you know in a few days time it will be the holiday, Federation Day, that commorates the founding the Federation. it will be celebrated all over the Federation.
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::leaves for his office only to arrive shortly afterwards to check on his tests in medlabs::
ST NPC01: AMD>CO>Including on Andoria. Your homeworld is planning a large celebration to show their solidarity with the United Federation of Planets and their continuing commitment to the organization they helped found... You are requested to report to Andoria to act as the grand marshal of these celebrations.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Enters sickbay panting like she ran a mile and sits down:: Man thats walk gets longer
Shran113: CO>ADM>You want me to return to my planet, and be the guest of honor at their Federation Day celebration... Admiral, surely there must be more important missions teh Aryes could be assigned... I am not so sure...
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::marks on his PADD "no change in subjects 1-27... Retest sections 28-65 specimen 3A" just one of his many medical testing, he's working on::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::smiles parade::
Robert Devoroh: nurse> ::approaches the CNS, taking her pulse and resperations:: CNS> would you like some oxygen?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::waves to a nurse for some water::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>Nurse> That sounds good
ST NPC01: ADM>CO>Enough, captain. Accept this honor, and report to Andoria... You being honored was the idea of the Andorian Chancellor, not mine... Apparently, you are somewhat of a hero to your people. You will be on Andoria in two days... Ta'nek out. ::The screen cuts out and the transmission ends.::
Robert Devoroh: Nurse> ::nods and puts a nasel canula 3-5lpm and a small glass of water:: CNS> inhale deeply through the nose and exhale through the mouth
KieleChristienne: XO> CO> May I offer you congratulations, Sir?
Shran113: CO>::He sits in his chair, feeling a bit flustered.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::When the screen goes blank:: Pumps Ahole, Conradss Sir
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>:ose as the nurse says::
Strsfly7: Helm>CO that is great going home as a hero you can have your family be there .
Robert Devoroh: Nurse> ::smiles softly to Cindy:: CNS> if you'd like I can get Rob, he's just inside the lba
Robert Devoroh: lab*
Shran113: CO>::He is distracted for a moment.::ALL>Oh yes, thank you... VS>Ensign, sent course for Andoria, Wapr 6. Engage when you are ready.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>Nurse> That be nice just make sure alls ok
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He is sitting at ops.::TAC>MCO>Oh good... a party...
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::he doesn't comment, hearing Collins. Instead, he looks back to the Tac board::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO>Looking forward to seeing it again
Strsfly7: Helm>CO yes sir he puts trhe ship at warp6.
Robert Devoroh: Nurse>CNS> okay, I'll be right back. Just keep up with the breathing though ::she leaves real quick to get the doctor whose playing with test tubes and various forms of poisons in a clean room... She presses the intercom to let him know the situation::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::puts the test tubes down in a secured location logging what he did and time stamped it before washing his hands and going to Cindy:: CNS> Cindy, whats going on? I figured you'd drop by, didn't think it'd be so fast
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::She giggles::CMO> Once I started it was like stopping a freight train
Shran113: CO>MCO>Andoria will be beautiful, and the Federation Day celebration is always something to look forard too, especially in the Captial city. My chave brought me one year... It is always an amazing spectacle of events... I will of course be granting leave and liberty to whoever wants it when we arrive.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> Nice I pulled my Artic training on Andoria
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::laughs:: CNS> I hear pregnancy can have that effect... So Suzi tells me you where having troubles breathing? How are you feeling now?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> Fine that walk from the bridge to here seemed to have gotten longer
Shran113: CO>::His anntennae actually uncurl a bit as he thinks of some of the beauties of home.::MCO>Perhaps, i will show some of you my favorite spots when we arrive... ::His annteanne fold back down.::
KieleChristienne: XO>CO> Sir, the admiral said the mission involved the "crew" of the Aryes. Are we expected to participate in some way?
Shran113: CO>XO>I have no information, Major. I suppose we will be briefed when we arrive.
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::he nods grabbing his medical tricorder:: CNS> well, how about I take a look at whats going on... Because your carrying twins and just plain pregnant, there has been reported cases of women having difficulty breathing so its not entirely out of the norm
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> I like that ::looks at Kiele:: Party killer
Druidsummerhaven has entered the room.
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He looks up from the ops console.::CO>How are the beaches?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> That's good to know ::lets the doc check her
Shran113: CO>CSCI>-25 degree celsius in the summer
marshalcollins: CSCI>CO>I'll pack my surf board
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::laughs::CSCI> Cold enough to freez the well never mind
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::runs a quick scan mostly focusing on the lungs, diaphragm and uterus::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: ( that's about 77 degrees Farenheight )
KieleChristienne: {-25}
JLtAidanMcKenzie: ( scratch that.. I didn't see the - )
Strsfly7: Helm> He thinks maybe he will head to the beach there get intro some waves.
marshalcollins: CSCI>::he laughs with Clyde.::At least perhaps the women...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CSCI> They have some lovely women, but I have lovely women as well
Strsfly7: Vs>Csci you have to have fun on vaction get to relax.
Shran113: CO>CSCI>Becareful, Lieutenant... In my culture, when it comes to realtionships... women are the aggressive ones... You may meet someone you do not expect.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks ip at Clyde, with a raised brow:: MCO > You have more then one woman?
marshalcollins: CSCI>CO>I will keep that in mind, sir.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>TAC> No I may not have staed that right I just have Yuna thats all I need
KieleChristienne: XO>::Notes the CO's relative silence.:: CO> You aren't pleased to be able to visit your home?
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks back to the controls, looking at current readings::
Shran113: CO>XO>As I said Andoria will be beautiful... Though, returning home does raise certain personal complications... ::His anteanne twitch slightly.::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::looking at the readings:: CNS> if you have time I'd like to do and ultrasound just to get a better look ::smiles:: besides gives you an excuse to see them
Strsfly7: Vs>Tac > that is a good post do you get to light off all the fire works.
Druidsummerhaven: CSEC>: things to himself .... andoria isn,t that balls ass cold-
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks to Mank:: VS > If you call firing torpedos lighting fireworks, then yes, I do
KieleChristienne: XO>::Nods, unsure whether to question him further or wehter it would be considered an invasion of privacy.::

Shran113: We are picking up a few days after we left off.
Shran113: As we begin we have come out of warp and will make planetary orbit of Andoria in 5 minutes.

Shran113: And since it is a holiday, I will be granting leave and liberty to whomever we can afford to spare and who wants to go and explore the planet a bit.

Shran113: CO>CHANC>KELL>This my tactical officer, Lieutenant JG Aidan McKenzie, and my Second Officer, Major Clyde Greathouse. ::Shran gives Aidan a warning look.::
stnpc01: KELL>CO>I see how you control, your officers. It is no wonder you were discharged...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::gulps a little seeing the warning look from Shran, also feling the look from Clyde as well::
cyldegreathouse: MCO> CHANC>KELL> It is an honor to meet you
AidanMcKenzie1: feeling*
Shran113: CO>KELL>Father, that was two years ago. I explained why that happened. I have since regained my commission...
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Waits as the requests come in, copying them over from the Ops console and comparing them with the current duty rosters.::
stnpc01: CHANC>::Laughing politely.::KELL>Councilor Kell, You son is our honored guest. He is the perfect person for the job. He is one of the youngest Starfleet officers to attain the rank of Captain, and he is in command of one the most prestigious ships of Starfleet, a Soveriegn class ship. He is a loyal son of Andoria and an accomplished member of the Federation.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he nodded emphatically, agreeing with the Chancellor's words::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::STanding close to the Captain ::
stnpc01: SHARD>::A third Andorian enters the room. he is built like a warrior. As tall and as wide as Greathouse. He is also in the robes of a councilor.:: CHANC>Do you not mean to say that he is in fact the perfect puppet, Valar?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks to the 3rd andorian that entered, his eyes widening:: self > yipe..
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at the new Andorian with a smile::
Shran113: CO>::He looks at the third man.::SHARD>General Shard? It is good to see you again. MCO>TAC>General Shard was one of my instructors at the Fesoan Institute of Battle, where I attended before entering Starfleet. He was my favorite instructor.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>GENERAL Shard> It is an Honor
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > He looks like a very good intructor, Captain. I know he'd give the marines a run for their money
stnpc01: SHARD>::He nods to the Starfleet officers before walking over and takes Shran's hand into his own and shakes it.::CO>And you were one of my favorite pupils. Quiet, but I could tell you were always listening. And I was right. I have followed your career, my boy. You have done quite well... But I am no longer a general, only a humble councilor, now...
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>Ma'am I would prefer to stay here for the time being. I have some work to catch up on.
stnpc01: KELL>SHARD>If you calling being the leader of the opposition party... humble...
Shran113: CO>::He lets the handshake end.::SHARD>What opposition party?
KieleChristienne: XO>::Nods:: CSCI> Understood. If you change your mind, let Operations know as soon as possible.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::THinks how he would have liked sparing with him::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::glance at Charlie, he thinking that wh would never thought he'd run into someone as big as clyde::
AidanMcKenzie1: *glance at Clyde
stnpc01: KELL>CO>He is the leader of the newest party. They call themselves the "Traditionalists." They stand for the old ways of Andoria... They claim we were better off two-hundred years ago before we joined the Federation.
KieleChristienne: { Oh yeah! Sorry, lol }
Tarkel London: HELM> looning back to the majorXO> I hhink ill be staying here for the duration of shroe leave.... looks warmer
stnpc01: SHARD>KELL>And I am not the only one who believes so. Come the next election cycle, you will see what the will of Andoria is... I will be the next Chancellor of Andoria, and then we will finally see an Andoria free of the Federation.
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::since he believes that medical practitioners are never off-duty he lets the duty nurse know where he's going before he heads up to the lounge so that they can recall him quickly::
Shran113: CO>SHARD>Free of the Federation? What do you mean?
KieleChristienne: XO> Helm> But aren't you accustomed to extremes?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at SHARD::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he also looks at Shard, not liking the way the conversation is going::
Tarkel London: HELM> XO> of course remus ha a light and a dark side for a reason.... ever see a reman on the light side,,, far to hot... besides that would give me a wonderful chance ot study the unique environment of this moon and to determine ho
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>The Federation is merely a tool of Humans and Vulcans by which they can rule. It has never represented Andorian interests. Do you know how many Andorians there are in Starfleet... less than .01%... and do you know how many humans... 43%... Just look at your officers and your ship. Are you not the only Andorian?
Shran113: CO>SHARD>Yes, but Andoria was a founding member of the Federation. We can't cecede. That's unreasonable...
KieleChristienne: XO>Helm> So why don't you go? You can study it from orbit anytime.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD>How many Andorian's join starfleet
Tarkel London: HELM>XO>-shrugs- why aren,t you going? - his statement a playful challange to her alost insistance h beam down n the next leave disaptch-
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>Do you know how many Andorians have held the office of President of the Federation... only one... MCO> You are missing the point. I mean no offense to you human, but how can an organization run by other species know what is best for Andoria... we were better off as an Empire unto ourselves...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Sgard > I have no beef with Andorians. My captain's an Andorian and I like him
AidanMcKenzie1: *Shard
stnpc01: CHANC>SHARD>Those are all very pretty words, Shard, but you use them to cover up the violence people commit in your name...
stnpc01: SHARD>CHANC>I will not say this again, Valar, my party has no association with the THA...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> If Only 2% join then ,01% is a normal range
stnpc01: SHARD>CHANC>We are a political party, nothing more...
Shran113: CO>CHANC>What is the THA?
KieleChristienne: XO> Helm>The crew were given leave, not myself and I'm perfectly happy with that. The Captain is showing considerable trust in me by leaving the ship in my hands.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Listens::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::once at the lounge he grabs some white tea and a small sandwich. He always refuses leave, he figures his time is better spent doing the job starfleet sought him out for::
stnpc01: KELL>CO>Your knowledge of our home is lacking, son. I thought I taught yo better... the True Heirs of Andoria, is a radical group of Andorians... they believe that we were better off in teh days before the Federation... only they are not willing to wait for politcal change... For lack of a better, they are terroists,
Tarkel London: HELM>XO> then maybe i'm prefectly content with keeping my wel heated ass in this plushy leather seat... thugh I culd honestly use that display I had on the pegasus
cyldegreathouse: MCO>KELL> THey like the wars between the Vukcans
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>No, they like the honor our race once had. We were a warrior people. Under the Federation we have become pacifists... And they do not represent my party. The people of Andoria support us, as the latest polls have shown.
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>That is why Chancellor Valar wanted you to be featured in this years celebration of Federation Day. He thought if maybe he could display you as a good little Andorian towing the Federation line, than maybe he could save himself come the next election cycle.
KieleChristienne: XO>Helm> You could always request a console upgrade when the ship is due for it's next refit.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Shard > You can still be warriors with the Federation, better then the Klingons, i think
stnpc01: SHARD>TAC>It is as I used to teach your captain when he was my pupil. If you are on the terms of another, you are not on the terms of your choosing. Your only option is to withdraw till you can stand on your own terms... on the battlefield of your choosing... ::He bows and turns to leave.:: CO>Captain Shran, It was agood to see you. I am proud of your accomplishments, my pupil. ::He walks out.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he simply nods at Shard as he left:: self > good point
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Nods to Shard::
Tarkel London: HELM>XO
stnpc01: CHANC>CO>I am sorry for that, but he is right... without any help the Traditionalist party will continue to grow... And if Shard wins the election, I am afraid he will try to withdraw Andoria from the Federation... His principles are misguided, but he holds a lot of sway and respect...
stnpc01: KELL>CO>And my son, cannot compete with that, no matter how you dress him up. He may wear the uniform, but he can never be the man you want him to. ::Shran's father storms out of the office.::
Shran113: CO>NOIP>As humans say... There is no place like home...

JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CO > I see ::he follows the others::
ST NPC01: VETT>ALL>It al started about fifteen months ago, when all this talk of returning to the traditional ways of Andoria... Its no wonder you are all getting funny looks, especially you, Shran.

cyldegreathouse: MCO>Vett> And I get them cause I'm a walking Mnt
ST NPC01: VETT>TAC>It used to be that humans weren't that uncommon of a site. We have over 2 million of them living on Andoria... No the THA, the True Heirs of Andoria, have made sure their agenda is pretty clear, and the young generation is falling right in line... They think we should all be warriors again, proud and strong... idiots...
Strsfly7: VS>Vett why do they want to go back to the old ways that would harm what they have now .
Druidsummerhaven: HELM> -thinking for a moment. XO> wel since your being such a party pooper I do have nav maps to catch up on - heads to the turbolift after the doos pop open- this si sitll an intresting regio to survay and I do always have hobbies

ST NPC01: VETT>VS>It's not about thinking, Mr. Mank. Andorian children get raised on tales of the our former glories... the great Andorian race and its accomplishments... Look at Shran, he won't admit it but everyday he tries to live up to his namesake...
Shran113: CO>VETT>Vett... don't start with that...
KieleChristienne: XO>Tarkel> You know I'd love to go with you. Risa was so much fun, I've rather taken a fancy to spelunking.
ST NPC01: VETT>CO>I am not...
ST NPC01: VETT>TAC>The THA isn't thinking. All they do is follow blindly... They think living under the Federation has somehow stifled Andoria... They can't see the consquences beyond the ice-wall they are breaking through...

Druidsummerhaven: HELM>kiele> I enjoy sharing my heritage culure and planetary adventures with you ... you ae wonderful company major.. very entertaining and always have been- biting back his ords heenters teh turbolift having loads more to sy that l

ST NPC01: VETT>MCO>More than I feel comfrotable with... Like I said, it is very popular among the young generation... a form of Rebellion I suppose. I thank the stars my son isn't old enough yet to fall in with such crowds... TAC>That's just the point... The mob rarely thinks for itself.

Shran113: Mr. Mank? were you with us?
Strsfly7: Yes
Shran113: Good... As we begin... Myself, Ensign Mank, Major Greathouse, and Lieutenant McKenzie find outselves in an Andorian Guard facility locked in a holding cell.
Shran113: Across from us sealed in a different holding cell are the Andorians we were scuffling with.
Shran113: For those of you that need a quick refresher... We have come to Andoria so I may participate in the Federation Day celebration which will be happening tomorrow, as their guest of honor. More specifically I am meant to be used as a symbol by the current Andorian Chancellor to promote support of the Federation to try and quell the recent trend of Pro-Andorian Soverignty and bring everyone back inot accepting Andoria's place in the Federation.
Shran113: So far we are not doing so well, i suppose.

Shran113: ACTION>Shan and his fellow crewmembers sit in a small holding cell in the detention area of the local Laibok precinct of the security for of Andoria... the Andorian Guard. They are held back by a forcefield of standard issue and have been disarmed of all communication devices. Across the way are their bruised and blackened fromer adversaries.
Shran113: CO>::He gently touches a bruise that is forming on his right cheek from where he was punched.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::Starts to come to with a migraine:: NOIP > Anyone get the warp signiture of that shuttle?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> I always seem to get in fights ::rubs his stomach::
Strsfly7: Vs>Tac that was fun but we did not get time to finish the drinks .
Shran113: CO>MCO>I have not been in a fight in a long time... ::His antennae pull back a bit and he imitates a human smile.::... It almost felt good.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > VS > if you call being bashed over the head with a chair fun.. then yeah.. loads of fun
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> Yes it did feel good
Strsfly7: Vs>Tac> a good fight keeps us alive they know not to push us around the next time.
Shran113: CO>::He stands though and looks at their adversaries across the room.:: MCO>Though, I do not understand what is happening to my planet... Andoria was once one of the Federations strongest supporters... NOIP>What is happening?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > VS > Yeah if you say so, but I'm not so sure
KieleChristienne: Pratel> ::Starting to feel the effects of the fight not that the alcohol is wearing off, glares and touches one antennae carefully, checking for damage.:;
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> I'm not sure when I did my artic training her they were so nice
Tarkel London: HE:M? still down in his office huimming along to show tunes and haooily flipping thru star charts and geological surveying histories-
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Feels the effects from the fight, the Big Andorian was good fighter::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > NOIP > I feel like I got run over by a semi ::glances over at Clyde::
Shran113: CO>PRATEL>::He looks at the large Andorian across the way.:: You called me a 'fade' what did you mean by that?
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Strangely finds "Music of the Night" running through her head::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Sees Aidan glance at him:: TAC> I feel the effects of the fight to

cyldegreathouse: MCO>ALL> But been awhile seen I felt it this much
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Laughs::Tac> You should have ducked
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > MCO > I dont have eyes in the back of my head..
KieleChristienne: Pratel>::Looks him over with contempt::CO> A Fade "Captain" is one who is not considered a full blooded or true Andorian.
Strsfly7: Vs>Mco> i hope they let us soon im kidding tired in here.
Shran113: CO>PRATEL>Do you refer to my Aenar ancestry?
Tarkel London: HELM>_snickers thru his pointed teeth catching Kieles stray thought and continuing singing letitng the huge empty hologram filled room carry every note in almost flawless match-
Tarkel London: HELM> NOIP>Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Listens to PRATEL and The Captain:: HELM> That is true
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > MCO > and I'm not a mind reader either.. a Betazoid
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::adds:: MCO > would love to be but wasn't born that way
cyldegreathouse: MCO>TAC> Nope your just a human
KieleChristienne: Pratel>CO> I'm referring to your Federation affilation as not serving the best interests of Andoria. ::Looks as though he would prefer to continue the fight rather than explain::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods:: MCO > yeah.. we both are
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Laughs:: Tac> Yes I am thoe the chair would not have knocked me out
cyldegreathouse: MCO>TAC> I have a hard head
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::chuckles:: MCO > Chairs usually don't knock a wall or a mountain out.. I like to think I have a hard head too, but I got proven otherwise
Shran113: CO>PRATEL>I do not fully understand your anger or the feelings of my home... Every Andorian alive today was born a Federation citizen... the Federation protected us during the Dominion War... Where is this hostility coming from... this THA I keep hearing about?
Tarkel London: helm> s;i[[s tehe intercom on by total screw up - continues singing along with the phantom soundtrack about three verses into music of the night -
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Was wondering the same thing that the CO was:: TAC> Well just don't get hurt no more Cindy will kill me

Tarkel London: close your eyes, start a journey through a strange, new worldLeave all thoughts of the world you knew before close your eyes, let the music set you free -stopping atthe crechendo looking atthe flashing interconm light - s**t -
KieleChristienne: Pratel>CO> The True Heirs of Andoria. What can the Federation give us that we can not provide for ourselves and better? We were better off before we have to bow before their decisions of where we can go and what we can take.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Smiles as he thinks of Tarah::
Shran113: CO>PRATEL>The Humans are starnge in many ways, but their ideals and their intentions are noble. The Federation is the greatest endevour, Andoria has ever been a part of.
KieleChristienne: Pratel> CO> Exactly the sort of garbage I would expect from the mouth of someone who serves their interests. They have trained you well.
cyldegreathouse: MCO::looks at Partel::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO, Pratel > yeah, we humans are weird but our hearts are true..

cyldegreathouse: MCO>::feels Aidan clap in on the back and laughs::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>Pratel> So yoy want to go back before you joined the Federation
KieleChristienne: Pratel>ALL> The mighty Federation should send you out to speak on their behalf, you relate their cause with such power and eloquence. ::Sarcastically:: Any pirate could say the same of his own cause with the same certainty
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO, MCO > if he feels that way, then I say we don't need these Andorians
Shran113: CO>TAC>If you do not need the Andorians, Lieutenant, then you do not need me...
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::In her quartres rubbing her legs::NIPL> Look at those vaines I look like I have a road map for legs
cyldegreathouse: MCO>TAC> Not all Andiorans are bad
Shran113: CO>TAC>I am still Andorian, even if I do not agree with the principles of our friends there...
stnpc01: VELL>CO>Sometimes I have wondered... ::The elder Andorian comes storming into the detention center and motions to one of the Andorian Guards that deactivates the forcefield keeping the Starfleet officers prisoner.::CO>This is how you act...
KieleChristienne: Pratel>::Looking more alert now that the Federation officers are fighting amongst htemsleves::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > MCO> yeah, I know.. ::CO > Yes, sir, I know you're Andoria, but you're not just an Andorian..
Shran113: CO>::He watches his father storm in and have the forcefield deativated. He steps out.::VELL>Father...
stnpc01: VELL>CO>You are not home a day and here I find you in prison. For what? Fighting in a bar with snow-drift... ::he motions to Pratel and his gang.:: CO>You always manage to amaze with the new ways you find to bring shame to this family.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::sees the other Andorian come in:: Vell > Hey, it's not our fault he acts drunk and stupid
Shran113: CO>::Unhearing of everything else in the room now.::VELL>I thought you would be proud... Growing up wasn't it always you who said I should be a warrior?
Strsfly7: Vs>Vell> it was not your sons fauilt we stried to get some drinks.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Puts his hand on Aidan shoulder:: TAC> don't intrupt
stnpc01: VELL>CO>You always did fail to know when to use diplomacy adn when to use force... If your Second-Father was alive to see this... He would be ashamed...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::feels Clyde's hand on his shoulder::: MCO > yes, sir..
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Blinks in surprise as she hears Tarkel's voice singing the same song and at the exactly the same verse as she was.:: Well that explains it. ::Laughs quietly::
Shran113: CO>VELL>Why? You have always been ashamed enough for all four of you.
stnpc01: VELL>CO>I will not discuss this further in the open. You are coming home.
Shran113: CO>::Suddenly very aware of the eyes of his crew...:: VELL>I am not a child anymore father. Thank you for releasing us. ::He stands a little taller and visibly calms himself as he straightens his uniform.:: VELL>I will see you tomorrow at the ceremony.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>Tac> Just think you would not like being intruped in an argument with your child
Shran113: CO>::He nods to his crew.::MCO>We are free to go I believe... ::HE walks out of the deteniton area.
stnpc01: VELL>::He watches his son walk from the room, his antennae fully erect.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods as he followed Shran out:: MCO > Yes, especially if I was trying to get something across to her::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Follows the CO::
Tarkel London: HELM>XO>~ explains loads you are off key _he chuckles flipping to deep scans of andorias surface-
Strsfly7: Vs> :: he goes with the cap glad to be out of there .
Shran113: CO>::Once they are further from the Andorian Guard facility he turns to his crew.::ALL>I apologize for that outburst... I have a sordid family history. I did not mean to burden any of you with it.
Strsfly7: Vs>Co> is ok captan family is good to have .
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO>Sir its OK we all have issues with family ::he smiles::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > quite alright, sir. I dont know of anyone that dont have any family problems.. even me..
Shran113: CO>::He nods.:: ALL>Thank you. If you do not mind I need to be a lone for a while. ::He points down the long caverned street.:: ALL>That will take you to the main thoroughfare of the city. No one will bother you, I believe, and you can finally start enjoying your shore leave... I will see you all tomorrow at the ceremony.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Nods to Shran::CO> See you tomrrow
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > Sure, Cap'n. I'll just go explore this winter wonderland.. either that head back to the ship to spend some time with my wife ::grins::
Strsfly7: Vs>CO> you take care sir i will see you then. he thinks he better head back to the ship to rest and get clean up.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Wonders if Tarah is still on the planet::

Shran113: Welcome everyone.
Shran113: As today's sim opens up the day has finally arrived. It is Federation Day. The senior crew of the Aryes are all considered invited guests to the event. We having seating on the raised dias with Chancellor Valar, and the Andorian Councilors, including ym father Vell and my former mentor and leader of the Traditionalist party, Shard.
Shran113: As we begin the ice parade is just finishing up, and now the time for the long winded speeches of the politicians is to begin before the festivities will be concluded with the annual Colored Cavern Light Show. And of course following we are invitied to a banquet at the capital building.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
cindyleemckenzie: No Sir
KieleChristienne: No, Sir.
cyldegreathouse: No Sir
JLtAidanMcKenzie: No, sir
Robert Devoroh: none here
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
Shran113: CO>::Shran sits in his seat watching the last of the beautifully carved ice sculptures continue on down the cavern path away from the Chancellor's platform. He looks out into the thousands of people lining the main cavern of Laibok, if only to avoid the eyes of his father which he can feel upon his back.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Sets watching the prade it was quite a site to see::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::taking notes on whats happened on the planet... Since they got into a bar fight he's planning on mandating that they all recieve physicals::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::Looks quite interested in the parade and the ice sculptures and floats::
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He is sitting in his seat, freezing, but it is nice to be off the ship for a while. He was going a bit stir crazy tending to his experiments.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Sitting watching the prade looks at Aidan:: Tac> I'm glad I came for this part
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::glances to his wife with a smile:: CNS > I am too, babe. I was starting to miss you down here
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>TAC> And we missed you :: she touches her belly::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::smiles and puts his hand over her hand over her stomach, looking back to the parade::
cyldegreathouse: MCO> ::likes the prade but the talking will be a boare::
stnpc01: CHANC>::After the last of the scultpures moves out of view Valar stands from his seat and approaches the front of the dias.::CROWD>I want to welcome everyone one to the day that marks the 223rd year since the founding of the United Federation of Planets.
KieleChristienne: XO> ::Enjoying the parade from the comfort and warmth of the bridge. The sculptures were breathtaking.::
Shran113: ACTION>::The response is applause from the crowd, but perhaps not as quite enthusasitic as the Chancellor was obviously hoping for. If anything the moods grows a bit tense.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Listens to the CHANC::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::enjoying the parade from the comforts of his office... Hates being cold more then anything::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::listens to the chancellor, but the hairs on the back of his neck are tingling. That's never good::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Listens when they began talking::
stnpc01: CHANC>::He continues on.::CROWD>Andoria was one of the founding members of this great government based on peace and trust. If not for the efforts of our forefathers, and the forfathers of our partner worlds none of the great accomplishments we have today would have been possible. We are fortunate enough that today we have with us a true son of Andoria... and a descendant of one of those forefathers.
stnpc01: CHANC>::He motions to a statue set off to one side of the captial square picturing a starn looking older Andorian in an Imperial Guard outfit wearing the rank of General.:: General Thy'lek Shran was intergral in forging the peace that has lasted for over two-hundred years... And today I invite his direct ancestors and namesake forward to say a few words. He is not only a the ancestor of a great hero but a hero himself surrounded by his heroic crew that he leads as a Captain in Starfleet, in command of one of the most sophisticated and powerful vessels in the quadrant.... I want to welcome home Captain Thy'lek Shran.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Claps::
Shran113: CO>::He stands from his seat as the applaude of the gathered crowd grows a bit, but perhaps not enough for comfort. The entire crowd seems to be waiting for something.::CROWD>Thank you, for your warm welcome. It is always a great comfort to come home after beign away for so long.
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He claps and whistles through his fingers at the metnion of Shran.::
KieleChristienne: XO>::Applauds briefly before remembering where she is.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::appluads for the captain::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::Stops as he spoke up::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Claps as he scans the crowed::
Shran113: CO>CROWD>Andoria will always be my home, no matter how it changes, and no matter how I change. I am proud to be here to know all the sacrifices we have made in the cause of freedom and peace, and to know how intergral we have always been to the stability of our quandrant.
Shran113: ACTION>Clyde Greathouse is distracted from the speech of his captain as he notices a small light shining from the far end of the cavern on the upper level of one of the many carved buildings rining the capital square. It is barely noticable, but it seems to have intent.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Keeps scanning the crowed with his eyes, spots a light at the far end of the cavern, moves closer to the Cpatin::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>TAC> Left Upper leveal light
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Keeps his eyes on the light::
Shran113: CO>CROWD>I do not want to talk at length, but I cannot fail to mention that I am distressed by the what I have seen of late, especially over these past few days while visiting the home I thought I knew. We are Andorians we are strong and fierce and proud, but we are also loyal... both to ourselves and our commitments.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::He noticed clyde's movements and he glanced around, then heard clyde and glanced up where he indicated. Eyes widen:: MCO, CO > Get down, now! ::going on his old world instincts:::

cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Moves beside the Captain blocking him:: CO> THiers something odd happing
Shran113: CO>::He hears Aidan yell and he turns to his tacticall oficer.::
Shran113: ACTION>A disruptor blast explodes to the left of Shran as he is tackled by Aidan to the ground.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::feels the heat f the disruptor as he tackled the CO, mutters:: NOIP > damn, that's hot
Shran113: ACTION>All hell suddenly breaks loose as several small explosions rock the captial square. Suddenly the crowd is screaming and running and trampling one another to get away. Smoke from the explosions is filling the square and clouding the eyes of all present. More disrutptor shots cna be heard.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Hears the shot go past him, points out were it came from::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>+T+XO> Beam the Captain up now
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::starts to get up:: MCO > Beam cindy up too!

cyldegreathouse: MCO+T+XO> THen beam Cindy up
marshalcollins: CSCI>::he is low to the ground on dias, unsure of where the attack is coming from.::
KieleChristienne: Action# The broadcast is cut as the explosion rocks the immediate area.:: XO>NPG OPS> Get a lock of the Captain and Away Team. Get them out of there!
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CO > Sorry sir, I didnt mean to do that but thanks to clyde, I saw that beam of light
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Looks around::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CO, MCO > That is what old world assassins used just before they killed their targets
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::gets word of whats going on and grabs his tricorder for when Cindy gets there... Traumatic event = possible bad situation for pregnant woman::
Shran113: CO>TAC>Do not be distressed, Lieutenant. I am glad for your quick thinking.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Breathing hard fearing for the babies::
KieleChristienne: XO>+T+CO> Captain, I'm preparing to transport you and the team out.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO>Better Aidan tackle you than me
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::smiles:: CO > Yes, sir ::chuckles:: This is starting to become habit ::looks over to his wife:: CNS >It's ok, babe. nothing's going to happen ::he hoped::
Shran113: CO>+T+XO>This is my home, Major... I will not run when it needs me... I hope you can understand that. Transport out Cindy and help with recovery operations of the injured.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Trys to calm down but is stressing out::

JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::walks over to cindy and puts his arms around her:: CNS > It's ok, love. just calm down. breathe in, breathe out
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> If your staying I'm staying
stnpc01: SHARD>::The older ex-general is suddenly near Shran.::CO>Valiant words Shran, but you forget my lessons. We are not in a defensible positon. If this really is the THA, we should withdraw for now, and return at a more advantageous time... I know the place.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS> ::Takes rapit breaths:: Tac>SCI> I should not freak out like this
KieleChristienne: XO+T+CO> Aye, Sir. OPS> Amend that order. Transport Counselor McKenzie out and have a medical team ready to beam back down as soon as possible to help with the injured.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CNS > No it's not good for the girls but it's understandable. I'm scared too
Shran113: ACTION>The screams are beginnign to die down, as the capital square continues to empty but for the dying and the dead.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Stays close to the Captain::
stnpc01: VELL>SHARD>Do not encourage him. He is my son, and I will not allow him out of my sight after someone attempted to kill him.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Is beamed out to sickbay still taking rapid breaths::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks over to Vell:: Vell > your welcome, sir. I just saved him
cyldegreathouse: MCO>Vell> My Captain dosen't leave my sight
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::mutters as Cindy is transported up:: NOIP > God I hope she and the girls will be alright
Shran113: CO>CSCI>TAC>Mr. Collins and Mr. McKenzie... escort the Councilors and the Chancellor to safety... MCO>Major, you will accompany myself, General Shard and my father.
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::recieves the CNS in sickbay and takes a scan real quick to see what her body is doing and to plan an appropriate treatment... meanwhile he sends medical teams to TR1 to be beamed down, he'll operate sickbay as a major treatment site::
Robert Devoroh: MT (medical team) +t+Ops> we're ready to be transported
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> Yes Sir ::gets ready to go with Shran::
KieleChristienne: Action# OPS acknowledges and activates the transport
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CO > Yes, sir. I'll do what I can
marshalcollins: CSCI>CO>Aye, sir. ::He begins motioning the councilors and the chancellor back across the dias to the back stairs. TAC>Take rear I will take point. ::he heads down the stairs first.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> Hey Doc ::she says between breaths::
Robert Devoroh: MT> ::transported down, of course armed. They start to provide care to those who are living::
stnpc01: SHARD>::He peers throught he smoke.::CO>MCO>VELL>Follow me. I know where we can get a better vantage point. ::He pulls out a ceremonial Andorian dagger from under his councilors robes and leads the way.::
Robert Devoroh: CMO>CNS> ::he smiled to Cindy:: Hey Cindy, I need you to slow down your breathing, can you do that for me?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks for more attackers ass he follows SHARD and the others::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Slows down some:: CMO> I'm tring Doc
Shran113: CO>::he follows his former teacher. His father's momentary show of concern erased from his usually icy features also follows but gives his son not a second glance.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CSCI > Okie dokie ::he says as he takes rear, wishing he had a weapon::
Robert Devoroh: CMO> I know. Take in slow, deep breaths ::he monitors her blood oxygen levels... Obviously the goal is to lower it to lower levels::
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He pokes his head out into the open. it is clear. He points to the doors almost 40 meters ahead that lead to the state house. He indicates the door than motions for the councilors to make the run. He stays with teh Chancellor as they sprint across teh courtyard to safety.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Watches Shran's father::
stnpc01: SHARD>::He leads the three men to a back alley off the left side of the dias that snakes around teh exterior of the captial square. It rises up slightly as it curves back around to a riased isolated platform overlooking the carnage below.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Takes Slow deep breaths and starts feeling a little better::CMO> I should not have freaked out
Robert Devoroh: CMO> ::shakes his head while checking on the babies:: CNS> its actually fairly normal in situations like that
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks thinking this is were the shot came from::
Shran113: ACTION>The three Andorians and one Human look out over the square where several small explosives have obiously detonated injuring and killing several bystanders in the crowd. There are no small arms fire to be seen and the only people moving about are Andorian and Starfleet medical teams.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at the sean below and shakes his head::
stnpc01: VELL>MCO>It is an ideal sniper's perch. ::he points to dias. it is almost impossible to miss... yet our assassin did miss.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::looks around at all the carnage and destruction:: CSCI > Man, this looks a bit like home
marshalcollins: CSCI>::Once they have all the politicians into safety.::TAC>Terroism is not limited to humans you know... Everyone has their own ideasl and thoughts on how to accomplish them.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>CMO> I'm a LtCmdr I should not have freaked out ::she says almost breathing normal::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CSCI > Yeah, I kinda figured that out.. and experianced it
cyldegreathouse: MCO>VELL> Well he had to shot around me
stnpc01: SHARD>::Suddenly and without warning the ex-general fires a stun shot into Greathouse's back from teh concealed phaser in his robes.::MCO>Foolish pink-skin... VELL>Of course he missed... because I ordered him to.
Robert Devoroh: MT> ::frantically working on the injured and transporting those that need surgury either to a local hospital or up to the ayres to be seen there::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>:rops to one knee in pain::
Robert Devoroh: CMO>CNS> Cindy, relax... Its very normal I assure you. Being a certain rank, or job description hardly makes a person immune to it
Shran113: CO>::he clicks his comm badge to call the Aryes.::
stnpc01: SHARD>::He points and fires at Shran, dropping him to ground.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Clams Down::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Trys to get back up::
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>You are a tough one. ::He fires again knocking out the large marine.::VELL>I am sorry old friend... but we both knew it would come to this. He raises his phaser at Shran's father.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Sees Sharn get shot::CO< Captain!
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Everything goes black as he passes out::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > CSCI > Always when something good happens, somethings bad gotta happen too.. and I have a feeling it's not over yet

Shran113: Welcome back everyone
Shran113: Do we all remember what has taken place when we left off?
cindyleemckenzie: I was heading to quarters
AidanMcKenzie1: Marshall and I are escorting a couple of high officials
Robert Devoroh: not really
AidanMcKenzie1: Clyde got KO'd.. again
cindyleemckenzie: ah we missed last week
KieleChristienne: I believe you were assisting the wounded etc, Doctor.
AidanMcKenzie1: I don't believe we missed
Robert Devoroh: ok
Shran113: Where we pick up tonight, Aidan and Marshal you have successfully escorted those officials, and the terroristic attack on capital square has now been over for several hours. Aryes security and medical teams are still moving among the wounded and helping the Andorian Guard security force sort out the wreckage, injured, and trapped.
Shran113: Major Greathouse, my father, and I are just now waking up in what can only be described as a prison cell. Our commbadges are destroyed, we are unarmed. We have been taken prisoner by former General Shard, my former teacher, councilor leader of teh traditionlist party, and apparently leader of the True Heirs of Andoria, as well.
Shran113: Major Christienne heard my last transmission but all she heard was the sound of a phaser firing, a body hitting the floor, and the commbadge being crushed under foot.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
cyldegreathouse: No Sir
marshalcollins: No, sir
KieleChristienne: No, Sir
AidanMcKenzie1: ::RH::
cindyleemckenzie: NO Sir
Shran113: Yes, Lieutenant McKenzie
AidanMcKenzie1: where would that put me since I escorted the two officials?
Shran113: Back on the ship at your station, probably at yellow alert if I know my executive officer.
AidanMcKenzie1: yes, sir
Shran113: If there are no more questions
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Groans::NIPL> This really getting old
Shran113: CO>::His antennae move back and forth slowly as he rises, trying to get his balance and bearing.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac ::had beamed up to the ship after escorting the two blue suits. He went to check on his wife to see if she is alright, but then had to report to the bridge, which is where he is now, at Tactical::

KieleChristienne: XO> ::After hearing the crunch of the commbadge, tries unsuccessfuly for a few moments more to reach the Captain.:: Ops> Go to yellow alert and start a search for Captain Shran's bio signature.
Shran113: CO>MCO>It seems we have a certain knack for finding trouble. ::He turns to General Shard::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> Well I am a Greathouse ::laughs::
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>Aye, ma'am. ::He begins searching for the Captain's bio signature.:: TAC>Aidan, yellow alert.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Hears yellow alert as she enters sickbay::
Shran113: CO>SHARD>So much for the Loyalist party not being involved with the THA, General?
stnpc01: VELL>::Sharn's father sits up.::SHARD>I knew it all along... I knew it...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Ops > Aye ::taps the yellow alert key, the ship goes to yellow alert::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Looks at SHARD::
stnpc01: SHARD>VELL>Cave-in your mouth, Vell. You are lucky I didn't leave you to die. You are ntohing but a thorn in my side... Unlike your son... He has potential... CO>Yes, Shran, I am incharge of the THA. I started it as a means to have a ready and fighting trim army after I succeeded in my political ambitions.
Shran113: CO>SHARD>An army?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Listens::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > XO > weapons are at your disposal, ma'am, in case we need to use them
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Starts talking to the injure to see if she can help::
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>Of course, I plan to reclaim all of Andoria's lost glory... that means recarving our old Empire, and expanding. The Federation will be unprepared when one of its founding worlds suddenly begins claiming territory and repelling its armed forces. With the THA, I have an army that is not only stirring public opinion, but will be 10 million strong by the time I am ready to unleash my final plan... Starfleet will do nothing to stop us.
Robert Devoroh has left the room.
KieleChristienne: XO>::Nods to Tac: CSci> ::Impatiently:: What's taking so long?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> This glory days included wars with the Vulcans
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>There are a lot of Andorians ma'am... Islating one is next to impossible, even with the Captain's profile on log... I am trying to locate Major Greathouse as well, but with our teams on the planet there are more than 80 humans down there
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>If you mus know Pink-Skin... Vulcan will be one of the first to fall... the past two hundred years have weakened their resolve to fight... Vulcan is not a planet of diplomats and philosphers...
stnpc01: VELL>SHARD>This is madness... You can't expect to get away with it... succession is one thing, but war... You have gone off the chasam into the frozen lake, Shard.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> Perhaps but the Federation will crush you
KieleChristienne: XO>CSci> Ther'es also no guarantee they are together. (or that they're still alive) ::To herself::
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>it gets better... Andoria is a labrynthe of caverns... If they are in the deepers ones... there maybe no way to get a clear reading from them... at least not from orbit...
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>That is why it would incredible helpful to have a respected and well place Andorian Captain in my organization...
Shran113: CO>SHARD>You want me to join you?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Shakes his head and moves close to Shran::
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>Think about ti Shran... You always were my favorite pupil. You could be a General in the new Andorian Empire. In the future when Andorian children look back to revere the name General Shran, it will be you they speak of, not that fade blood traitor of an ancestor you are descended from.
KieleChristienne: XO>CSci> Understood, liuetenant. But I want to make every effort before we send in teams.
Shran113: CO>SHARD>Why? How did this happen to you?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> What happens to me ::Looks at him::
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>we might be able to theoretically use stellar cartography and the ship's maps of Andoria to map detailed scans of the underground cave systems... if I can interface the system and boost it with a little power... Stellar Cartography wasn't designed for geothermic or planetary mapping... but I could try to make some adjustments.
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>You pink-skin are a prisoner of war. You will be treated accordingly... I am not a barbarian...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> Just a mass Killer
KieleChristienne: XO>CSci> How close would you have to be to get a reading in one of those caves? We don't have time to search them all one by one.
KieleChristienne: XO>Tac> Have the rescue teams suit up and stand by. Let them know they'll be working in extreme conditions.
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>I could do it if we set up sensor beacons at key points around the city... It would be like ground penetrating radar they use for geo-scanning before terraforming...
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>Your federation is the killers... CO> I grew sick of watching Andorians die in Federation Wars... The Cardassians, the Dominion, the Borg, the Romulan Civil War... What did we ever get out of it... Thousdands of our sons dead so the Federation can continue to rule over us.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> You'll start a war with us Millions of your people will die
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods at Kiele:: XO > I'll let them know right away ::taps a key and calling up yhe rescue teams, alerting them to the situation and recommend that they dress and prepare for extreme conditions::
stnpc01: SHARD>MCO>Yes, but die for a noble cause... a Free Androia... the only cause worht fighting for... Not like how Drena died... pointlessly... Her ship was ambushed near the Bajoran Wormhole... The cre never had a chance... A Gem'hadar raiding party... She was on a science vessel for star-sake... My daughter dead, and with no honor...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> I"M Sorry for your lost
Shran113: CO>SHARD>Pointlessly? You speak as if Andoria is not part of the Federation... I would argue that not being annhilated by the Dominion is a pretty good benefit of being part of the Federation... and I bet Drena would have agreed... She was a Starfleet Officer afterall...
stnpc01: VELL>SHARD>You must see reason... if you start a war, Starfleet will crush your forces, and all you will do is make life worse for Andorians... Don't be a fool.
KieleChristienne: XO>CSci>Tac> Get a list of those locations to the teams and have them set up the beacons. I'd say you're correct and they probably have taken them somewhere where they'd be hidden from our scans
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>The list is already compiled. I am transmiting now.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > XO > They most likely have a sensor blocking field
stnpc01: SHARD>VELL>ENOUGH... ::he walks back a moment and stops before turning around...:: CO>I suppose I have my answer from you Captain Sharn. You will wear that uniform till you die, which may be sooner than you think... One way or another, as a Starfleet Captian I know you must have plenty of useful information... Extracting it will be more difficult this way, but you wills till tell me everything I need to know... battle tactics, weak points, security protocols...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>SHARD> Do yoiu have any Idea what will happen to Andoria
KieleChristienne: XO>Tac> Or they're simply making use of the naturally occuring ones. Either way, we need to get closer.
marshalcollins: CSCI>XO>I will head down to Stellar Cartography, and start interfacing the sensors and the city layouts with the systems down there. ::He stands from his post.::... With you permission, ma'am.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods:: XO > could we go into a lower orbit?
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO>Dose he not understand in a War the Federatuin would attack the planet
KieleChristienne: XO>::Nods to CSci::
Shran113: CO>MCO>He does, but truth be told if he can take a few planets while the Federation isn't looking... it will be a long and bloddy war for Starfleet to take them back... he will lose in the end, but he will do a lot of damage... maybe in the end that's all he wants...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> He will scarfice his people for gulit
KieleChristienne: XO>Tac> Not enough to make it effective. We need people on the ground. Unfortunately, once our personnel are in place, we'll lose any advantage of surprise.
stnpc01: VELL>MCO>Not his guilt, Major... His pain...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods a bit understanding::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>VELL> Yes I might do the same if our places were switched
stnpc01: SHARD>::He talks to Pratel aside and the junior officer leaves the room. General Shard turns back to the cell:: CO>I am having the interrogation room prepapred now... I am sorry i must break you Captain. You really were like a son to me... perhaps more than you were to your father...
Shran113: CO>::He gives Major Greathouse a look as if he is a man about to step off a cliff. He visibly takes a breath before turning to General Shard.::SHARD>WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>And there is fire under your ince after all...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Sees Shrans looks::
Shran113: CO>SHARD>No... You listen here... You have insulted me and insulted my father... You have attacked the honor of my family!
Shran113: CO>SHARD>This disrespect can only be answered in one way, Shard... I challenge you to Ushaan... I will reclaim my honor or meet my death...
stnpc01: VELL>CO>Shran no...
Shran113: CO>::he motions his father's concerns away with one hand.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO>Captain
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>I am surprised at you, Captain... Dueling is outlawed in the Federation...
Shran113: CO>SHARD>I thought you did not care for the laws of the Federation... I though you yearned for the old days of Andoria's Glory...
stnpc01: ANDORIAN1>SHARD>Sir, the rules allow for substition... you are too important... allow one of us to take your place...
Shran113: CO>SHARD>Yes, General... fear the Starfleet Captain... Allow for the substitution... Save yourself...
cyldegreathouse: MCO>CO> He can chicken out
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>I fear no one... especially no fade in a Starfleet uniform... In one hour the rites of Ushaan will be performed, and you will end your life at the tip of my blade, Captain. ::Shard walks out of the prison room followed by one of the THA escorts.::

Shran113: Excellent, welcome back everyone... We are picking up an hour after we have left off last week.
Shran113: Major Greathouse and Councilor Vell have been escorted into a large room ringed by Andorian members of the THA. Only their hands are bound but they are surrounded by True Heirs of Andoria. In the center of this mess of people is myself and General Shard as we prepare for the Rites of Ushann.
Shran113: On the surface, Lieutenant Collins with the help of the Andorian Guard and Aryes security teams are placing the last of the triangulation sensors in place, which will give for mroe accurate scans of the planet's cavernous insides.
Shran113: Most of the rescue operation from the bombing is nearing completion and the majority of the senior staff, with the exception of Collins who is on the planet, and Dr. Devoroh and Commander McKenzie who are tending to wounded, are still on the bridge with Major Christienne.
Shran113: Are there any questions?

Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
Shran113: CO>::Shran feels the weight of the Ushaan'tor miner's pick in his hand, as the Andorian finishes attaching the gauntlet to the starfleet officer that is now tethered to General Shard no more than 3 meters away, hefting his own sharpened blade.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::is at Tactical, checking sensors and other systems, ready to do what he needs to do::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Stands with his hands bound behind his back watching::
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>This was a very clever maneuver Shran... I saw immedeately what you were doing. You knew I could not refuse, and without me this movement would very well fall apart, and if I kill you I cannot use you against the Federation... You would have made a masterful politician.

Strsfly7: Vs>XO what would you like me to work on im ready to go.
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>I do not need your pity, Shran... because the flaw in your plan is that you are about to die... even if you win... you will not leave this chamber alive.
KieleChristienne: XO>::Smiles:: Helm> He's welcome and I could use you as well. Lt Collins is about to send up scans of the caverns. You're the perfect person to look them over and help determine where the Captain and MCO might be being held.
Shran113: CO>SHARD>I know... but this is for a greater good... one which you have lsot sight of.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::trys to break his bonds when he hears SHARD::
Shran113: ACTION>Without sudden warning or even notice the fight starts as the combatant start circling around each other. Their blades held in front reminding each what awaits them if they attack.
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::glances up to see Tarkel's little pet:: Helm > cute little critter
KieleChristienne: XO>Tac> Send it to the Science station. Helm> Tarkel, you can pick it up there and begin anlysis.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Watches trying to free his hands::
Tarkel London: HELM>XO>Held? you mean like aahostage situation? well this could be intresting CSCI> pull up the last known beam in site for the team any astrometric data and any maps of the cavern systms you have to date I need everything on full
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > XO > yes, ma'am ::sends surface Data to the science station::
Tarkel London: spectrial analysis to see how deep into that rock we can go
Shran113: CO>::Shran ducks the first strike, and use the momentum of the swing to pull on the connecting tether of holding the two men together, momentarily cause the General to lose his balance, but Shran's strike is still too slow, as Shard brings his gauntleted hand up to deflect the attack.::
marshalcollins: CSCI>+T+XO>I am factoring it into the data we are sending back... I am hoping it wil help narrow down the scan area.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::studies the room, while watching the fight::
marshalcollins: CSCI>::He braces himself against a hars storm of wind that lasts for several seconds and shivers.::
stnpc01: SHARD>::He strike once, twice, three times, they are all deflected, but while Shran puts his force into dodged and deflecting the General uses his leg to sweep out his opponents, and the starfleet captain goes to ground. Shard uses the opportunity to thrust hsi blade toward Sharn's neck.::
Tarkel London: HELM> -fingers flying across the data pad fora moment centering his search into the northern hemisphere and down to a ten mile streach quared- XO> there are three likely locations and areas of intrest I've marked them on the main
Shran113: CO>::Shran hits the ground hard and his head swims, but he sees the blade as it comes swinging down fast. he brings his own blade up on a parrallel block. The two weapons intersect and it becomes a momentary test of strength as both combatants are pushing one another away... It has been years since Shran trained with these weapons, he is obviously rusty.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Tense up when he sees the Captain go down::
Tarkel London: viewer based on bean down sites and ease of passage thru the cavern regions its one of thes three main systems -crosses his hands smiling atthe XO
Strsfly7: Vs>XO> is it ok if i go down to the planet to see if they need some help down there .\
stnpc01: SHARD>::He puts all his weight behind his blade edging it ever closer to Shran's turned cheek. As the side tip presses against the starfleet officer's exposed skin a small trickle of blue blood seeps from the gash.::
KieleChristienne: XO>Helm> Tac> Send the info back to Collins and find out how long it will take to have them regroup at those locations. XO. VS> Stay with the main group under Collins.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Narrows his eyes as pulls to break the bounds on his hands::
KieleChristienne: XO>VS> I'm sure he'll appreciate the extra help.
Shran113: CO>::He feels the blade brush his skin and he is losing the battle of strength being in the weaker prone positon. Suddenly he turns and kicks our with his leg throwing the general over his should to land on his back. Shran rolls with him, suddenly on top of the other man. Now he is forcing his blade toward the general.::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > XO > yes ma'am ::looks to London, waiting for the modified info so he can send it back to Collins::
stnpc01: VELL>MCO>This cannot be allowed to continue...
Strsfly7: Vs>Xo> No prob i am on my way down there right now :::He heads down to the planet.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>VELL> If I could break free I could stop it
Tarkel London: HELM>TAC> lets also get a deeper ystemic scan and feed backs of echolocation on cavern system two here I don,t know thats it very wide deep yes and the demensions look right but it could be very narrow
Strsfly7: Vs>Csci> you look like you could use some help down here .
Shran113: ACTION>Shran is now winning as the blade inches closer to the General. In the crowd a disruptor is raised and pointed at Shran's exposed back with a yell of "Long Live General Shard," the gunman fires.
stnpc01: VELL>NO! ::His hands still bound he runs to Shran's side and setps in front of the disruptor shot. it pierces his stomach and he goes down.
Tarkel London: -HELM>+_ shoots his findings over to CSCI? Lt collins you should be getting feed back now the first cavern system is about ten minutes form your location I'll send tyou augmented maps along the way
marshalcollins: CSCI>VS>More the merrrier. I am trying to triangulate the data from the ground. Do me a favor and monitor the data stream to make sure the signal stay strong in the weather. ::He motions to the frigid Andorian tundra around them.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Runs toward the Andorian to run into him::
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > ::nods:: Helm > I been scanning the surface quite alot, maybe with these new readings, it'll be easier ::adds his own scans to the info being sent to Collins::
KieleChristienne: XO> Helm> Remember these caverns are ice and rock. Your readings will vary and something that doesn't look promising, may be deceiving.
Shran113: CO>::Shran turns when he hears the shot to see his father lying on the ground bleeding, suddenly the wind is knocked out of him as the General gets back up, and punches Shran in the gut with his tethered hand. The General's Ushaan'tor comes down across Shran's chest he falls back a shallow gash running down his chest.::
Strsfly7: Vs> Csci> I will do it right now he starts to monitor the data he hopes it works.
marshalcollins: CSCI>+T+HELM>I see the data... We need to focus on looking for a Human bio-sign... Greathouse is our only hope of getting a fix... As we go we can progress more quickly the more detailed the map gets...
Tarkel London: HELM>-nmods?XO ther eis a cavern below the first antichamber that looks promising to my initial scans it
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Knocks the Andorian down, and drives his knee into his back::
Tarkel London: looked as if it were flooded though if one takes into account that it were actually ice ... then it would make a massive detention area
stnpc01: SHARD>::he stands over Shran and points to the gunman that Greathouse knocked down.::ALL>No one interferes... this is a matter of honor. ::He raises his weapon above the now injured Shran.::
Shran113: ACTION>More Andorians pin down the gunman and restrain Greathouse incase he might try anything against the rules of Ushaan.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Trys to break free::
KieleChristienne: XO>Helm> Tac> Get that to Collins right away The THA may not need a large detention area but they would need a large meeting area.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>Let me go he broke the honor fight his man interfierd, his this the type of leader you follow a coward! ::he yells::
Shran113: CO>::Shran still winded and shocked from the block and cut across his chest. He looks over and sees his father lyng on the ground. He picks himself up shakily and stands before the General.::
Strsfly7: Vs>Csci> i think we are getting some info comming in.
stnpc01: SHARD>CO>It's over Shran... You can barely stand. You will soon join your father. You really were my best pupil you know... ::He raises his weapon and strikes for Shran's exposed and undefended mid-section.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::Fights trying to get free::
Tarkel London: HELM>XO> right o boss lady- working frantically to transmit all the data to tactical for transmitting- TAC> if you would do the honors of course?
Shran113: CO>::With vigor and energy he did not posses a moment earlier, Shran sidesteps the over-extended blow of the General and drives his won blade deep into his once mentor's gut...:: SHARD>You taught me well, like when to play possum and when to lure an opponent into overreaching...
marshalcollins: CSCI>VS>Good, keep monitoring it... this may be the Captain's and Greathouse's only hope
Tarkel London: -HELM> XO> - got them I have what looks like either grathous or a massive block of beef hes still digesting either way you are pretty darned close
cyldegreathouse: CMO>::Head buts an Andorian:: Let me go
Strsfly7: Vs>Csci> dont worry we will get them both home and safe.
KieleChristienne: XO>Helm>Tac> Send it. Let's not waste time on conjecture. For all we know, seconds count.
stnpc01: SHARD>::His eyes open with cold realization.::CO>I lost... I am sorry, Shran... ::General Shard falls to the ground, unmoving.::
Tarkel London: HELM>VS> twenty kilometers below you and fifteen degrees off center if you could lock your pattern enhanders on that grid and transport the slightly beefy water bag to the ship please
JLtAidanMcKenzie: Tac > :blinks:: NOIP > slightly beefy water bag?
Shran113: ACTION>The General falls as Greathouse breaks free and comes to his Captain's side... Suddenly they are in the middle of a lot of very angry Andorians, all starting to bring weapons free.
cyldegreathouse: MCO>Your leader lost according to your peoples rule s you must let us go
Shran113: CO>MCO>I do not think he can hear you... We have more pressing concerns. ::He hefts his only weapon the Ushaan'tor... which won;t be much good against disrutpors.::
cyldegreathouse: MCO>::moves by Shran:: Andorians> Do you not follow your own tradtions, and you call your slefs true Andorians:: he says as the rasie their weapons::
Strsfly7: Csci> i think we fond them twenty kilmeters below us and 15 desgrees center .
Tarkel London: HELM>_over hears McKenzie muttering to himself- shakes his head-
marshalcollins: CSCI>+T+XO>We see them too, on my tricorder... You might be able to put a team within a quarter of a klick... The cavern shouldn't block too mcuh of the transporter.
