Ship's Log, Stardate 11701.29, Captain Ayidee recording.  The station has been restoring it's systems and treating their injured, but there is still much to be done.  Primary systems are back up but it will be some time until the secondary’s follow.  Meanwhile, the investigation into the pilot is about to begin.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Transporter chief: Ready to beam down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::On Bridge, looking over reports on station secondary systems coming on line, making sure all are working as expected.::

Host Frellip_Fei says:
@<Transporter Chief> CTO: Aye sir, engaging.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@::on the Cherokee Bridge, finishing some reports and assisting the relief personnel::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::at OPS::

ACTION: The Chief Tactical Officer and Counselor transport to the Station Transporter room closest to Fei's room, just a few rooms down the hall.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS/ CIV: Systems appear to be coming back on line, but there has to be a reason for this impact.  We need to help make sure all systems are working properly.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::materializes in the station transporter room, and steps forward to the attending technician.::
Tech: Where can I find...  ::looks at his PADD notes:: a mister Fei?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I wish I knew a little more about what's been happening.  I feel a little out of the loop being on the station doing med stuff.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
<Tech> CTO: you must be from the Cherokee; Fei's quarters are just down the hall.  Quarters 44501.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Tech: Thank you.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Nothing I found about the freighter suggests that the Mister Fei is responsible, but I want to question him and try to find out just who, or what, is responsible.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Tech: Thank you, I believe we can find our way.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Okay, so we are just fact finding.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps into the corridor and looks over the room numbers to determine which way to go.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: The freighter’s comm systems picked up a transmission just before it crashed. But his navigational and com systems were compromised just as that transmission was received and we cannot determine what the transmission was or just where it originated.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Any ideas on what a hit like this could be for?  Took out Primary systems for a very short time, but forced a reset on all station systems.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: But I'm fairly certain that it was what caused the navigational failure.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows the CTO::  CTO: Got it.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
<Security> ::Standing outside room 44501, looking at the CNS and CTO as they approach.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::looking at the room numbers...:: self: 44499...44500... here we go, 44501.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::activates the door chime::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I feel like the Fuller Brush man. ::Smiles::

Host Frellip_Fei says:
<Security> CTO: Can I help you?  Oh, are you...::Checks PADD.::  Q'ten and Daniels?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@OPS: Commander if you need some assistance... feel free to ask. ::raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CIV:  Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Security: At your service...

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Security:: Yes. Here to speak with Mister Fei, the freighter pilot.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: What is a fuller brush man?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: A type of door to door salesman.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
<Security> CTO: Yes, of course.  Just need our voice authorization and you are good to go in.    ::Holds out the PADD.::  Voice authorization is linked to door through the PADD.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Speaks into the PADD:: "Q'ten, Lieutenant Junior Grade, USS Cherokee."

ACTION: The door dings and then opens.  Inside Mr. Fei can be seen pacing, and then turning to look at the door as it opens.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: Still not enough data to elaborate a full theory... But I wouldn't discard the use of a elaborated pulse of energy, and the ship ramming into the station used as blunt object to aid to the destructive effect. So the obvious and logical reason is an elaborated sabotage plan.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: May we come in?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: The interrogation should focus on finding out if the pilot is fully aware of the Master Mind behind it, but I seriously doubt it. ::raises an eyebrow::

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CNS: I suppose so.  Not sure if I could stop you if I tried, the think I'm behind this!  Um, is that "you think I'm behind this"?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Steps inside the door:: Fei: Mister Fei, my name is Lieutenant Q'ten, Chief Tactical Officer of the USS Cherokee. This is my associate Ensign Daniels, ship's counselor.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: We don't know who is behind anything yet.  That's why we are investigating.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: I do not think you are behind this, however we are hoping you may have information that might lead us to whoever is.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Yes, but towards what end?  That ship could have done devastating damage if it hit just a bit lower, in the power generators.  Or more long term issues if it hit the Command center.  Either this was an accident, a miss, or they wanted to take systems down for a short time.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: I have no idea.  I made my last run, then came here.  One minute I'm arranging the cargo transfer, the next I'm confined to quarters.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: what was your cargo?

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: A sensor pallet, had the space after the run to Revak with the excavation equipment and I never pass up a job I can do.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: Did you encounter anything out of the ordinary... did you come into contact with any other ship... anything strange happen?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Frei: Who contracted you to deliver the sensor pallet?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: All valid assumptions. ::thinks for a while:: Maybe a mascarade operation to cover some bigger target? Station crew should check if their data banks were not breached and if all their inventory is still onboard. You never know

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CNS: Only ship I saw between Earth and here was the ship I delivered the excavation stuff to.
CTO: Commander Friedheim set it up with Starfleet on Earth.  I've been making runs here for a few years, he thought I could use some extra business.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: Excavation stuff?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::jots down notes on his PADD:: Frei: I don't mean to be too personal. but do you have any personal enemies? Any one that you may have some reason to feel slighted by you?  Anyone that would wish you harm?

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CNS: Yes, some Klingons, looking for some artifacts from the raids there.  Said they were looking for proof of the glory of their house before the Khitomer stuff messed them up.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: So, your cargo was delivered to another ship.  Did you have a delivery for the station?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: Raids where?

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: I'm just a freight runner.  Spend most of my time travelling from world to world.  Raids on Revak.
CNS: Yes, had 2 deliveries line up fairly close, and both fit in my cargo bay.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Frei:  These Klingons, do you remember their names, or what House they were working for?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Station is performing Level 3 diagnostics as systems come back on line, but we can suggest the inventory checks.  Good call.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: How long did your delivery to the Klingon ship take?  How was the delivery made?  I take it you don't have a transporter on your freighter.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: Captain Kreak...I think it was Captain, of house T'pek.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: T'pek?  Do you know them?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: ::nods::

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CNS: Took a bit to carry out, yes.  Had to use Tractor beams.  Honestly they did most of it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: the name sounds familiar, but I'm not sure. I may have to send a communication to my father.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: Is it possible you were boarded during the time it took for the delivery?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Frei: Do you know what type of ship these Klingons were in?

Host Frellip_Fei says:
::Looks surprised.::  CNS: I suppose so, but it would be a rough trip.  Life support barely keeps the control room and sleeping quarters warm.
CTO: Bird of Prey, looked a bit beat up but not sure if that was with age or recent action.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: How large was it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS: Can you send a message to station suggesting they start an inventory when they get the chance just in case it was a theft?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Klingon ships have transporters, don't they?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Yes, of course they do.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: Bigger than mine, but most ships are if you leave off the cargo containers.
CNS: They did but with the stuff in a container Transporting wasn't really an option.  Too large for their systems so they took the entire container.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: A K'vort class Bird of Prey. Not only does it have transporters, but most importantly...a cloaking device.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: Any troubles with your ship recently.  Any repairs done by other than your crew?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  ::sends that message to the station suggesting they start an inventory in case theft was involved in this latest matter.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Captain Ayidee, this is Q'ten.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, the Klingons could have transported someone to the freighter.  According to Mr. Fei, they would have had the time.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CNS: With a ship as old as mine repairs happen very regularly.  But the only people on besides myself was the cargo handlers from Starbase 1.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: This is the Captain, go ahead Lieutenant.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Or they could have sent that mystery signal that caused the freighter to crash.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Sir, I need information on Klingon Raids on Revak. Also I would suggest a tachyon sweep of the entire area.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Cargo handlers from Starbase 1 and a ship full of Klingons, that's two new suspects.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: We will send you the records, and a tachyon sweep?  Are you expecting company?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Also any information of a KreakHoD, and House T'pek.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Can you see to the Tachyon sweep, Captain?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: I believe we may find someone trying to sneak away, if we are lucky.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS: And can you send Lieutenant Q'ten the records on the Revak raids, house T'pek and KreakHoD, please.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Where have we heard the name Revak before?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::gets the information and sends it to Lt. Q'ten::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@*CTO*:  You should have the information you requested,

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: I will take care of that.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CO*: Yes sir, it's coming in now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I don't know.  Where?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: I don't remember, but somehow I think it's important.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Excuse me just a moment.  ::moves away to study his PADD::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: You said you took on this delivery after a run to Revak!  What were you delivering to Revak?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: The excavation stuff you delivered to the Klingons, you said Commander Friedheim set it up.  I wonder what connection there is between these Klingons and Commander Friedheim.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I think we should add a third suspect.

Host Frellip_Fei says:
CTO: Excavation equipment.  They were looking for artifacts from the old raids.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: Interesting. Results of the ion sweep are coming in. There is a faint signal coming from about an hour from our position at impulse speed. The trail heads directly to the station area.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO Wait.  Revak.  That's where those weapons Mister Estar was dating was from.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@CIV: Understood.
*CTO*: Chief, we're picking up a ship about an hour out from the station, cloaked, and leaving the area.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: According to this information from the ship, Revak was a colony close to the Klingon boarder, and was thus the victim of several attacks by Klingon raiders.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
*CIV*: I think we need to catch that ship. Beam Counselor Daniels and myself back immediately.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Fei: You have been extremely helpful Mister Fei.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@*CTO*: Working on it now. ::pushes some buttons on the tactical  station::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Maybe the Klingons were after the weapons here on the station and the hit was some kind of diversion.  Mister Estar wasn't with the weapons after the collision, he was helping me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Understood, beaming you back.
OPS: Beam them back, and inform the Station and our medical teams that we are going in pursuit.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO/OPS: Emergency transportation sequence is ready.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Those early raids on Revak were mostly lead by House T'pek, and it just so happens that Captain Kreak is the son of the Head of House T'pek

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Fei: Bye.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::beams them back and informs the Station and the Cherokee's medical team that the Cherokee will be in pursuit and to be ready accordingly to regulations.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, Kreak just became our prime suspect.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
@CO: Captain, the trail reveals that the ship is heading towards Abyss, the stellar graveyard. A nasty place.. and a perfect hideout

ACTION: The CTO and CNS are beamed back to the ship.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes on the bridge and takes his seat left of the CO::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: A signal is sent to Fei's ship after he has left to transfer his cargo, causing the ship to crash into the station. The ship is cloaked so no one detects it.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, I believe the ship we are looking for is an older K'vort class Bird of Prey.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO Brilliant deduction Mister Holmes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Yellow Alert, let's go see what is behind this.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Was there anything missing from the station after the crash?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Lay in a course and get us under way.  Once we clear from station engage Warp 3 to catch them.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Missing, like the Klingon weapons being studied.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: There is quite a lot to check, the station just got word to start...
CNS: The weapons being studied?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The weapons from Revak Mister Estar was studying, Sir.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: yes sir, they were in the process of studying some antique Klingon weaponry before the crash.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ CTO: I remember that, but why would those be of extra interest to a raid?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Good question.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the CTO and the CNS reports::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO I have no idea, but going by the information we got from the freighter pilot, he delivered some excavation equipment to Revak.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The hit on the station was just a diversion to keep everyone busy while the weapons were stolen, if they are in fact missing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Contact Chief Estar on the station, ask him to check those weapons.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Afterwards he was intercepted by a Klingon vessel. The Captain of the Klingon vessel was a QIqHoD of House T'pek.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<aFCO> CO: Captain, the ship is about to enter the Abyss.  If they go in there, pursuit speed will be limited at best.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: The weapons were being dated.  Could there be something extraordinary about one of the weapons?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
According to the information that you sent me from the ship, QIqHoD is the son of the Head of House T'pek.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Will do.  ::contacts Chief Estar on the station to ask him to inspect those weapons for anything unusual,::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Weapons that seem to have been of the wrong age for the raid?  I think we have some of the answers Estar was looking for perhaps.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: House T'pek was responsible for most of the raids on Revak back in the days before the Khitomer Accords.  Those antique weapons that were being studied by Chief Estar were recovered from Revak.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Something about those relics from Revak has House T'pek wanting them back. Or at the very leas, they want them to remain undisturbed.
