=^=Roger, Chaz. I’ve called in a few other fighter, just to show them we mean business. I’m hoping we can take care of this without any shooting, though,=^= Replied to the security chief.

=^=We are not doing anything to a group of hungry natives aside from feeding them…=^=

Ch’zaolrirh responded with a written communication, =^= Acknowledged =^=

Kolar turned back to the natives, “Show me how much meat, how much grain, how much water....”

Kolar.

A native from one of the groups pointed to a field that was half razed by fighting, “We lost our entire harvest!” From the remains on the field, it could be estimated that they lost equivalent to 80 kilograms of corn.

A native from the other group said, “We lost our herd because these people …” he pointed to the crew from the Dragoon, “ran straight into it, confusing our animals and scattering them into the forest. We had no less than 50 animals!” At this, the crew of the Dragoon looked down on the ground sheepishly.

GM

Kolar looked at the crew of the Dragoon and exhaled. “That is troubling to hear… I am disappointed to learn of this.”

=^=Kolar, we can replicate that much grain, no problem. Ship sensors should be able to locate their cattle and beam it back to them. You just have to convince them to give us the chance to get it done.=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

OOC: Cross posting this in. . . .

IC: A squad of the Olinski’s fighters appeared above the treetops and took up a posiyion above and slightly behind the Ranger class on the ground being manned by Ricochet, Little Sehla, and NE Fonzarelli.

Ricochet (CAG)

The squad came into position. =/\=We’re on your tail Ric.=/\= He paused and then gave the call. =/\=Red Squad, weapons hot, do not fire unless you hear the order or are fired upon.=/\=

-Lt(j.g.) Ael Khev, Apex

As the fighters came into view Ch’zaolrirh glanced up for a moment. He wondered if their presence would spook the natives. For now he and his team continued to focus on the groups in the clearing. There was nothing they could do, but remain alert.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“We can offer you as much grain as you lost, plus 20% more for your aggravation and your patience. We can give you the weight in meat that you lost or if you provide us with a few days, we will find and return your animals to your pens.” He shook his head…

Kolar opened his hands as he spoke =^=Our patron Ricochet will reach out and place the 96 kilos of grain beind that corpse of trees 35 meters to the south west… He is very quick and it should be there in only a minute or two=^=

Kolar

Xandra listened as the exchanges went back and forth. The arrival of Red Squadron eased the tightness hey chest a bit, as well. When Kolar mentioned Ric being their ‘patron’ she glanced and him and whispered, “I’m still not calling you, Sir, outside of work.” She winked and but back her laugh so it wouldn’t come over the open comm they were listening to.

Xandra
Pilot

Though her previous comments caused Ric some concern, the last was something he would have expected from the pilot he had come to know. . .intimately.
He grinned and replied quietly. “That’s fine. I prefer ‘you majesty’ anyway.”

Ricochet (CAG)

The native listened wide eyed at the offer that was given. “Are you wizards and sorcerers?” they asked.

GM

Kolar laughed slightly, “No, we have had fortunate harvests and have no where to store the surplus, so we travel with far more than we need to give to those would might want some… it is convenient for both of us that we owe you a debt that we can rectify immediately.” He paused… “If you prefer we can take much longer to give you back what you lost?”

Kolar
anyone?

“Okay,” said the native, “when can we expect the delivery? Our village is just behind that group of trees.” He pointed to a clump of trees, and behind there, they could see smoke rising up about a kilometre away. The direction was actually further away from where the away team beamed to.

GM

“Before the day is out. We will set up some illumination so you won’t have a hard time finding it.” Kolar had hoped that they would do the transport immediately there shouldn’t be a problem getting it together from a star ship.

Ch’zaolrirh continued to listen to the conversation, but lowered his phaser. The natives seemed to be complying and there were still two other security officers, as well as the Olinski’s fighter compliment covering the clearing. Since Kolar was stuck interfacing with the group, he took it upon himself to quietly send an update to the Olinski. He would let Kolar know as soon as there was a break in dialog.

=^= Ch’zaolrirh to the Olinski. We have found six members of the Dragoon’s crew. They were being antagonized by a group of natives who claimed they had stolen from local food stores. Mr. Kolar is attempting to diffuse the situation. The natives come from a village not far from here. I suspect we may be headed there at some point. In the interim I am uploading images of the individuals we have encountered from my tricorder in case you are able to glean more from the ship’s database. =^=

Following his communication, he pulled out his tricorder. Without being too obvious he took images of the groups for identification. He also took an image of the smoke in the distance. Marking the last image as “Possible Native Village Site,” He uploaded everything to the Olinski.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

Xandra rolled her eyes at Ric, “In your dreams…”

Listening to the communications, she frowned. “I don’t like this. We are still missing far too many people if the entire ship above us was empty.” She shook her head and leaned back. “Where are they?

Xandra
Pilot

A transmission came from the Dragoon ops station with a map of the area marked with where 24 crew members were. =/\=Dragoon to away team. You should have data with crew member locations including a rendezvous spot set up by the XO.=/\=

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

The crew from the Dragoon perked up a little when the message came through. The fact that the ship is operating by Starfleet officers seemed to give hope to them.

GM

“Lets go,” Kolar nodded off. He would direct them out of the clearing.

Once they were out of earshot of the locals, Ch’zaolrirh approached Kolar, “Mr. Kolar - I’ve sent a brief update to the Olinski on our encounter. In the meantime, we received this from the dragoon.” As he spoke, the Andorian passed his tricorder to Kolar. On it was the data being transmitted on the locations of other members of the Dragoon’s crew.

OOC: GM - are any of the crew member locations matching up the village the locals told us about?
IC:

=^=XO, we need a supply beam down near these coordinates, 100 kilos of grain and corn products, along with five times that in animal protein dried for long term storage. Put phoshorous illumination around the beam down site and put it with a few phosphorescent rocks for easy locating. =^=-

He scowled at them, there was a number of things that look very unbecoming a Star-Fleet officer that they might have done including some bending of the Prime Directive as the natives do not appear to be the ones who have the interstellar abilities. “Report.”

Ch’zaolrirh watched the CSO work while his two subordinates kept an eye on the natives still standing in the clearing.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

=^=Olinski to Landing Party and Dragoon. We have the images and are preparing to beam down the requested supplies. Landing Party what is that smoke related to?=^=

The Captain had opened a com between all three groups.
