=/\=Not long. It’s just program commands. I can set up the program while they’re loading it up to fire, and transmit the orders to it ready to launch.=/\=

=^=Make it so,=^= Jason ordered, quoting his old CO from the USS Galaxy.

=/\=Aye-aye, sir.=/\=

The sudden flurry of sensor activity caught the COS’s attention. It was as though they had poked a bee’s nest. Not only was he detecting an increase in biological activity, but there was a stammering amount of electronic activity as well. It was incredible to think that a society like this could have so easily hid itself from not one, but two Federation Starships.

He called out to the CO, “Captain, the planet has come to life. I am picking up a large amount of electronic activity from the planet. We will likely need to act fast before the microwave emitters are reset.” The Andorian began running a surface scan of the planet. He was attempting to determine just how advanced the society was, and perhaps get a handle on how long the Olinski’s crew would be able to safely interact with Xandra and the Dragoon.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

The Counselor had been checking in with a few of his patients when he was requested to the Bridge. He stepped out of the lift when the Security Chief stated that the planet had come to life.

With a concerned look on his face, the Counselor moved over to the command hub. “Commander?” The Lieutenant asked, looking over at the XO.

CNS

-Lt. Michael Gould, CE

“Trevor, just the man,” Jason mused as he looked Trevor straight in the eye. “How are you feeling, Counselor?”
Jason Harn, XO

“What’s going on?” The Counselor asked, turning his attention to the viewscreen.

“Its a trick sir, that planet isn’t a primitive world,..” He did some calculations. “I think we should maintain distance. If they can hit us with that microwave beam, we are a dead duck.” He put his head down and started calculating the microwave interference shield frequency.

Balfor

=/\=Gould to bridge. We’re ready.=/\=

-Lt. Michael Gould, CE

Sensors showed that after the torpedo activated, the fighter that was moving to the planet had changed direction and was moving away from the planet.

GM

“Lets get everyone back first. We know what we wanted to know and it all worked as we had hoped. We know that the Dragoon was hit with these beams and we know how to combat those. Lets see just how advanced these people really are. Help open a com channel and send it in every known possible way to the sight of that activity.” Sid said. It was time to see if they wanted to talk and he figured they could if they wanted too.

=^= This is Captain Parker of the Federation ship Olinski. We have so far acted out of self defense from what appears an attack from your planet. We are here to investigate the other ship that arrived here. We do not want to do so but will use force to make contact and rescue our fellow members. We prefer to talk.=^=

The Captain waited for a response.

“Tac prepare the torpedo Gould modified but do not fire yet.” He ordered.

=^=Hold Gould,==^=Jason ordered the team in engineering. =^=If its already loaded, tactical will take it from here.=^=

“Science give me more to go on. Humanoid? What are we dealing with?” He asked.

“The technology of the systems and the forged metal and electronics are inconsistent with the large part of the planets populations. Its either a massive ruse, or perhaps two separate cultures or races sharing a world.” ‘

“Sensors are just starting to penetrate after the loss of the microwave interference.” Kolar scanned as ordered by his captain.

“Counselor, anything you want to add?” He asked Michaels.

“I’m guessing a diplomatic approach isn’t working?” Lieutenant Michaels asked, as he sat down in his seat. “Science, mind throwing some data my way?” He asked, trying to play catch up.

Parker CO

OOC: Corrections. Probe not torpedo.
Sidney

=^=Olinski, this is Ricochet. Green Leader has been released and is back under her own control. She’s on her way back back to the ship. I want medical to meet her in the hangar bay and check her out. Our sensors are picking up a lot more activity now coming from the surface. Numerous life signs, buildings, and technology.. . .We’re going into the atmosphere to get a closer look. Somebody was working real hard to camouflage themselves from prying eyes.=^=

Ricochet (CAG)

Sid pondered allowing the CAG to go back in.

“Whats your thinking Harn. Should we allow them to do close recon?” He asked his Executive Officer.

Parker CO

“Good point, we’ve got Gould’s probe,” Jason shrugged, “but you know what they say: A ship in the harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are for. We’ve already got the fighters out there. Let’s see what they can find out before whoever’s on the planet manages to fix whatever we broke.”

Jason Harn, XO

Ch’zaolrirh gritted his teeth at the XO’s response. He didn’t like it, but perhaps he was being too cautious. He made sure the probe was ready to launch if needed and continued to wait on the results of his surface scan.

COS Ch’zaolrirh

“Launch the probe to high orbit and greenlight Ric to go down. First indications of problems he is to get back. The probe can help support his mission.” He ordered the XO. Who in turn was the one to give the actual orders.

Parker CO

“Aye-aye sir,” Jason nodded. =^=Bridge to sickbay: Lieutenant Primage is returning to the hangar bay. Have a medical team waiting for her and have her examined.=^=

=/\=Royce here, we’re on our way, Cmdr Harn.=/\=

The first officer then called the CAG: =^=Olinski to Ricochet, you have permission to conduct an aerial reconnaissance of the planet below. Find out what’s going on down there and what they’re trying to hide.=^=

And finally he spoke to the tactical officer. “You may launch the probe at your earliest convenience, Mister Ch’zaolrirh.”

Ch’zaolrirh’s hand slid around the interface of his terminal for a moment and the probe was on its way. “Aye Sir, probe is underway.”

COS

Jason Harn, XO, leaving spaces between my orders so that other players can easily insert their acknowledgements without difficulty

CSO

OOC: Is this the probe that would be the transporter repeater?

Kenson (GM)

OOC: Yes - COS Ch’zaolrirh

The Captain awaited the results of the recon and the probe.

Parker CO

The probe was able to ascertain that there were equipment under the surface of the planet. At the same time, there seemed to be several microwave transmitters on the surface and that there were electromagnetic waves around the planet surface and also beneath it.

GM

Things got a little more complicated when Ael Khev’s voice came over the comms. =/\=Olinski, this is Apex. We have a Starfleet combadge on the planet. Ricochet is trying to contact it. I’m transmitting everything I have on it now.=/\= Data came in from the fighter, all the information Apex had.

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

“We have detected subsurface Machinery inconsistent with our knowledge of the population , I have bio-signs but they are indistinct and I haven’t been able to get a racial identification. Multiple microwave projectors on the surface… I’m plotting the locations and sending the to tactical.”

Kolar tilted his head. “The microwaves might be a weapon designed off the natural high microwave and electromagnetic fields present in the planet. It could also be used for concealment.”

Kolar CSO

“I don’t think a landing party would be the best option, especially with these microwave projectors active.” The Counselor stated. The Lieutenant had a basic idea of tactics and engineering. If these projectors would be used for concealment, a landing party could definitely transport into an ambush.
