Maybe a little premature but the Captain felt that they were starting to get a grip on this mission. At least it was heading in a forward direction.

“CNS Michaels. Could these be Iconians? Would Iconians, faced with a bleak situation like this, resort to making themselves forget that they are Iconians?” He asked. He knew it was a hard to answer question but the psychology of the situation was important.

Parker CO

OOC: Those questions are being answered in another thread but we on the Bridge do not have that answer yet. So if Michaels wants to extrapolate that is fine.

Sidney

OOC: Sorry about the late response. Just graduated college and finally got settled down.

The Captain looked at MIchaels and waited for his answer.

Parker CO

“I’m not sure that would be safe for themselves to do so, Captain.” The Counselor replied after much thought. “They would have to take the chance that the beings that destroyed them were not around anymore… therefore no one knowing who they were.” Lieutenant Michaels thought for a moment then continued.

“Their safe bet would be to not disclose who they were.”

After getting input the Captain thought through the situation.

“CNS I think its time you took some role in this all. Lead the charge on getting info and soothing the transition of the mission. It is time we start thinking of what we are going to do with these people.” He ordered.

=^= Captain to Away Team. Can we call the situation under control or are there still active threats?=^=

Parker CO

Mirri continued to maintain their position. She also monitored the comms chatter and looking for outside threats.

Helm

The away team wasted no time in responding.

=^= No threats remain. I am uploading scans of the drones we encountered now. It looks like they were built using raw materials from the planet. We can also confirm that the locals were affected by the microwaves as well… they are describing it as having clouded their minds. We are having a rough time pulling any real answers out of them… perhaps its task better suited for the ship’s counselor =^=

COS Ch’zaolrirh

=^=Captain to Ch’zaolrirh affirmed. The CNS will be sent down. These survivors may be Iconian or descended from them. We have to tread carefully. If they are open to it we can send down teams to assist them in anyway we can. Our main goal is to be sure if they were to remain that no threats exist other than those nature might throw their way.=^=

Parker CO

After a moment the away team acknowledged.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“I’ll take a med kit with me, just in case we run into more trouble.” The Counselor said as he stepped away from his station and ducked into the nearest turbolift. “I’ll report back in when I’ve found some answers.”

CNS

Hopefully another piece had snapped into place with the CNS going down to facilitate the communication with the villagers. So far the Captain was content to let things progress.

“Mirri adjust orbit to scan different zones of the planet. Lets make sure there is nothing else to surprise us.” He ordered.

He wanted to do an old style satellite recon but maintain their position above the planet and safe.

Parker CO

As they moved about the planet in orbit the Captain got up and walked over to science. The officer there was not sure what to do but the Captain motioned for him to step aside for a moment. He then got his hands dirty but checking the scans himself.

OOC: Before I send out emails I really would like to see people answering post in a timely manner. Thanks.

Sidney

A science officer looked up from his station. “We don’t have any high tech contacts on the surface beyond what we already have located. The tunnels, the automated systems and the abandoned ship/base.”

For the most part, the rest of the planet was rather quiet. There were no activity that would suggest intelligent life. Only the main continent, where the crew of the Dragoon and the natives were found had any intelligent life activity. The only part of the planet that showed advanced technology were the ship and the underground facility on the main continent.

GM

The Captain looked relieved at what he had seen. Nothing else seemed ready to jump out at them. So now they could deal with what was in front of them. He walked back to his station and sat in his chair again.

=^=Captain to Away Team and Dragoon. Nothing else detected on the planet but that now dead underground complex and the ship we found. What you have to deal with should be it.=^=

Parker CO

=^=Acknowledged Olinski,=^= Jason replied. =^=We’re still waiting on results on the data analysis Mister Balfor is conducting. Gould and Toro are down on the derelict attempting to prevent the power from shutting down so we can study the Iconian technology further. We’ve devised a way to keep the lights on down there a few hours but in my opinion keeping the power on for a long term study seems ambitious. =^=

Jason Harn, XO

=/\=Cmdr Harn, Captain Parker, this is the Cavalry. Roughly one hour until we have power. Gould. Out.=/\=

-Lt Michael Gould, CE

Kolar voice came of the system behind Harn’s =^=The data is firming up… there is Iconian DNA in the natives… the question is whether it is direct or related DNA. For instance the difference between us and another creature native to our planet is 80%, to a biped of a similar phylum is 90% so hard proof isn’t confirmed yet, but every minute the odds are going up… not down. At this point we are over 10% likely and climbing.... I suspect we can confirm that the natives are at least in part Iconian within the hour.=^=
Kolar

A comm came in from the flight deck. =^=Skipper, this is Ricochet. I got the report things are calmed down for the time being. I’m recalling all flights for debrief. Any objections?=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

=/=CAG Standby.=/=

=/=Gould take it slow. Power up just what you need to. We don´t know the full extent of that ship and were just trying to get more info.=/= Came the Captains reply.

=/=CAG thats affirmative. Return home=/=

Parker CO

The Captain waited patiently to know what was to happen in what he hoped would be the conclusión of this mission.

Parker CO

=^=This appears not to be a ‘direct’ sexual injection of DNA but a pre-designed evolutionary changed designed to make the native have enough Iconian biology to effectively manage their technology. The capturing of extra planetary aliens was just another part of the process. Presumably because it would speed the ‘evolution.” Kolar paused as he thought. “It is unlikely that this is occurring ‘automatically’ now there has to be an actual biological leader… or a supercomputer continuing the process. The later is more likely… but we have to locate the injection machinery.=[^=

Kolar

=/=Clear Lt. Commander. That sounds like the correct assessment.=/=

The Captain answered. He was amazed as usual how Kolar could take something complicated and break it down so well while still sounding 10 times smarter than anyone else.
Mirri continued at her station and awaited further orders.

Helm

=/\=Gould to Dragoon and Olinski. She’s alive.=/\=

Lt Michael Gould, CE

=/=Clear Gould. Handle with caution. Were just looking for information. Not flying her.=/=

Parker CO

The Captain eagerly awaited the answers to the mystery of this planet and its people.

Parker CO

Mirri made a slight adjustment and continued holding position. She continued with her scans looking for anything coming in toward the planet that might pose a threat to the ship.

Helm

The Captain had not expected to find themselves in the middle of an Iconian discovery. Would not have Picard been excited in his place. He was interested as well but was more worried about completing the mission safely.

Parker CO

The biggest risk seemed to be over. They had to still be careful but he was confident at this point they had negotiated a tough mission and was near a successful end. One that would not only help these people but also give SF something to study for years to come.

Parker CO

Mirri looked back at Parker “So is it a safe assumption that the natives on the planet are in some way shape or form Iconian?”

Helm

“Well it may be more of a case that Iconian DNA was implanted into the native population. So in a way they carry Iconian with them but I am not sure they are “Iconian.”

Parker CO
