USS Seleya - 10505.08

"What the... ? Part 5"

SUMMARY: So, the Phoenix is just a ship, made to look like a flaming bird, and it seems some Pakleds got their hands on it. Where they got it, is still a mystery, but perhaps this will soon be cleared.

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

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::At his station working through the sensor data of the phoenix::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::sitting in her chair::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Rubbing the ridge of his nose, suddenly fighting the urge to shoot something::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
Self: this is still confusing

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::At his station, reviewing performance reports following the high-warp flight::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Wakes slowly in quarters. Ponders what LCARS configs he'll have to catch up on now after sickness::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
All:  ......We almost flew the ship apart to find some mental flatlines with a new toy?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Self: Pakleds, they had to be pakleds.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Gets up, rubbing eyes and sighing a sigh of boredom before pulling on dress::

Host SM-Lyon says:
<Voice> @COM: Seleya: Soooo, you want to be friends, do you?

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Wonders why high technology always gives him a headache::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: Of coarse we do, we've never shown a reason not to be your friends have we?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Walks to turbolift:: TL: Bridge. Please. Please?

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Monitors the signal for tell-tale shield resonance::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Wonders why he still has to be polite to the computer.::

Host SM-Lyon says:
@<Voice> COM: XO: Oh, please. I might be stupid, but I'm not THAT bad. You want my ship, and think you are going to trick me into doing something that you can take advantage of.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Shruggs and nods to himself::  He's dumb, but he has a point.::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Steps out of turbolift onto bridge:: All: Good day.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
Self: That doesn't sound like a typical Pakled...

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Measures the flux trying to get a hold of the shield frequencies::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
OPS: Good day to you too

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
XO: <TEXT>  Sir, their running with no sheilds.  We could just yank them off the thing...

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Steps to console::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: Oh come on, why would i want your ship? I have one here, plus we're not pirates, we're the Federation, we don't go running around stealing ships now do we? We're explorers, be it new worlds or new ships, we're just courious, all we want is to have a look.

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: A mind nudges against Roalla's, then retreats again.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Tries to tie the sensors into the shield harmonics of the phoenix for a deeper scan::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods slightly at the FCO so he knows his read his text::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Boosts power 10% to sensor::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Blinks, confused::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Waits for the little people to respond::

Host SM-Lyon says:
@<Voice> COM: XO: Federation?! Oh razzlefrat! Now I suppose you're going to say something like, its not ours, so we can't keep it. Where did we get it?

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The strange mind nudges Roalla again, flashing her an image of the interior of a strange ship, four Pakleds clustered around a console.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: If I was going to say that, I would of said it by now, I have no intentions of taking your ship, as I said we're just courious about it.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Blinks again, not quite sure what she is seeing::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Types on his console:: XO: <TEXT> I can have a boarding party ready in three minutes sir.

Host SM-Lyon says:
@<Voice> COM: XO: Oh, ok. Well, what do you want? To look around?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Leans back into his chair, waiting for something to give::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Wonders; I've missed this. The everyday stuggle of life and death as a Starfleet officer::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Self: Oh yes, to........look around......::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM:Pakleds: Well basically yes, just to have a look, maybe see if it's history is in it's computer, they're might be a new race we could learn about.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Self: Fly me to the moon let me blast them from their ship.... diedumdiedum::

Host SM-Lyon says:
@<Voice> COM: XO: Well, if you put it that way... you can beam over if you want. I suppose. Uhm, ok.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Blinks disbelievingly at the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: Great, can you give me a few minutes to gather some recording materials?

Host SM-Lyon says:
@<Voice> COM: XO: Sure. See you just now.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
XO: I am ready to go sir, how many in the team?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: I'll call when ready, Seleya out.
.
CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Waits for the channel to close:: XO: So that's it, huh? We just walk onto their ship?

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Stands at the ready::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Waits for the channel to close:: CEO: Thats the plan, CNS: I know he's letting us onboard but did he fall for it?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Looks at the CEO and shruggs::  CEO: Umm, Pakleds?  You are smart, you have things that make us go.   Were not dealing with mental giants here.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Shakes head:: FCO: I guess the textbooks at the academy were right about them.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
     CEO:  Now you know why its the shortest chapter in the book.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CEO:  Although, if memory serves, they can be a little onary.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
FCO: Remind me, how did they get into space in the first place?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: Yes, sir, but he's nervous.  He knows you know they have stolen the ship.  But there's something else.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CTO:  Probably shot someone or hijacked their way on.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CNS: Something else?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns and looks at the CNS and listens intently after her last statement, all jokes put aside::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: I felt another mind.  As if there was a minor on board.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Grins:: FCO: You're probably right

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
All: Well I'm itching for a look at that zero-point engine system. 

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
OPS: How many lifeforms are you reading on that ship?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CEO:  All kidding aside, it doesnt take a mental giant to cause a lot of damage.  Lets not jump to too much of a conclusion.  I'm more concerned with taking the ship without getting any of our people hurt.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Returns to listening to the Counselor and XO::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Scans:: XO: It's strange; the are 5 entities. 4 are Pakled. 1 is something else.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Nods at FCO, listening in on the other conversations::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CNS: Is this other mind, under stress? Is he being held captive?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: The shielding is too great. Unless we find a way to break through...

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Runs a simulation of a coordinated strike through mutiple transporter rooms beaming people over to critical points in the ship::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CNS/XO:  Maybe the ships original operators?  The Pakled are fairly volatile when it comes to taking something they feel could benefit them.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
OPS/XO: Get me on board, I'll... think of something. There is doubtlessly some way to turn it off painlessly from the inside.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: It's more frustration than stress, but I can't tell if they're being held captive.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: The single other is in a different area is seems. The concentration of shielding there is very high. Perhaps an enhanced brig?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
Self: 4 pakleds and an unknown.

Host Deleah says:
ACTION: The mind nudges Roalla again. An image of four Pakleds arguing flashes in her mind.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
XO: Sir as soon as they drop shields I can have my forces around the pakleds and outside the shielded room in under 30 seconds

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CTO: Noted Ens.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: Commander, the Pakleds appear to be arguing.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
XO:  Well, if we take this information as fact, its obvious the Pakled are holding this entity against its will.  I'd say that warrents us not treating the Pakled wit kid gloves.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CNS: Can you tell over what?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
*Transporter room 1*: This is Ensign Holax, prepare for an away team to beam over to the 'leds.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: No, sir.  I can only sense the frustration of argument.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
<OPS_Ens_Jacks> *OPS*: Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CNS: Understood....FCO: Pick your team, take concealed arms, I want you to play out the part that we're still only interested int eh ships history and makers.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
XO:  Understood sir.   ::Turns the the CTO and CNS::  Ensign, Councelor, if you please?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Boosts power to sensors further 25%. Scans shielded area again::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
FCO: But...keep on your toes, we don't know if this unknown mind is friendly or not and as for the pakleds they could try anything if they think we're after the ship.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
FCO: Yes sir I'm with you.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Leaves her seat and heads for the Turbolift::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Heads for the TL and gets in::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Enters the TL and turns the CTO::  CTO:  Have a team meet us in Transporter room 1.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
Security team: Security team aplha, meet us in transporter room 1

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
TL: Transporter room 1.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Enters the Turbolift::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Holds the TL for the councelor::

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Feels slightly dissapointed that he was not picked for the away team, but shrugs it off and keeps working::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Stands in the TL::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
OPS: Open a channel to the pakleds please.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Taps console:: XO: Channel open

Grogma says:
@Jorlki/Kresla/Hortle: Ok, now keep quiet and don't look nervous. These are Federation people. Never trust them.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Lets the TL resume and waits for it to open, steps out and walks down the corridor to the TR::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Gets out and follows the FCO::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Follows Aan to the Transporter Room::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
COM: Pakleds: Our team will be beaming over shortly, i'd just liek to thank you for allow us to have a small look at our wonderful ship.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
Team alpha: We go in two waves, we go first with you Johnson, the rest of you follow after

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Enters the TR and heads to an equipment locker, taking a type 2 phaser and tricorder and handing the like to the CTO and CNS::  CTO/Security team:  Small, concealable weapons only.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Takes the equipment::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
All: We need to keep the impression of civility up till we know what were dealing with.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Takes the tools and nods her acknowledgement::

Grogma says:
@COM: XO: Oh, its a pleasure. I think.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Stands on the platform:: FCO: Ready to go sir.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CTO: Instruct your team to watch the Pakleds closely.  If it looks like their trying to flank us, take appropriate position to cover all arcs, but take no action unless fired upon or ordered to do so.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Watches the channel close:: *FCO* Darklighter to A'an

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Heads up and steps onto the padd::  CNS:  Councelor, I dont think I have to tell you to keep your senses sharp.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
*XO*:  A'an here sir, were ready to go.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
FCO: Yes, sir.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
Johnson: You take the right flank, I will take the left, protective security only! No firing unles fired on and conceal your weapon at all times.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
Team Alpha: You come in as second wave, take positions to secure a withdrawal area

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns to the Transporter room chief::  Chief:  Energize.

Host Deleah says:
ACTION: The away team appears on the Phoenix. She's quite well appointed. A lounge off the flight deck, flight console for a single pilot, consoles around the walls, viewscreens all around. The decor is in blues and greens, making it very restful. The discordant note in this is the Pakleds. They look out of place like penguins in the desert.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
<Johnson> Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*FCO*:  Remember your only going over to study, in their eyes but I want you to have eyes in the back of your head, and make finding the unknown lifeform your priority.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Fans out to the left flank::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Scans the shielded area one more time, hoping to break through::

Grogma says:
@::Turns as he hears the whine of someone transporting in:: AT: Welcome welcome.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Walks forward::  Pakleds:  Who's in command?

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Smooths his uniform not to look too shabby in front of the Pakleds::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Looks around and tries to reach out to find the fifth lifeform::

Grogma says:
@FCO: I'm Grogma. Those are associates of mine. ::Waves a negligent hand at the others::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Takes in the surrounding area and glances behind to see the second wave of transportees arriving::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Dammit I can't penetrate that shielding. Looks like it's all up to them.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Nods to the team to take positions slighty arced behind the first wave::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@Grogma:  We then, I'd like to express our commanders thanks.  If its all right, we'd like to take a look at the ship and take some scans?

Grogma says:
@FCO: Well, if you don't mind someone going with you all over the place. Protect our interests and all that, you know?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods to OPS:: OPS: I have full confidence in our away team.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Nods to the team to spread out and start scanning the control area::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Notices a pillar in the control center amongst others around::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Me too of course. We're the best.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Nods::  Grogma:  Understood.  ::Turns to the team and waves for them to spread out a little.  Gives the CNS a look saying, "anything you sense, let me know"::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
::Takes out his tricorder and sweeps for shield emanations::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Gives a slight nod to Aan::

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
::Continues to monitor Seleya engine repairs, with standing orders to have max warp available on demand::

Host Deleah says:
~~~CNS: Thank heavens you are here! Don't react, or the turnips will know something is happening.~~~

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Notices that the strongest shield emanation is roughly in the area of the eninge room:: FCO: Sir, I think that our engineer would be very interested in a scan of the engine room.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Nods at the CTO::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Takes out his tricorder and starts scanning, talks to Groma to keep him distracted::  Grogma:  You found yourself a hell of a ship.  Our engineer is absolutly dying to get a look at the propulsion and power systems on this thing.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Hears the voice in her head, and looks around, trying to hide the total surprise in her eyes::

Grogma says:
@FCO: Uh, yeah. We're still finishing the calibrations. The computer banks are somewhat vague on certain aspects.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Triggers the tricorder to send its info to the Seleya::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Turns to Grogma::  Grogma: Really?  How so?

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Walks toward the exit of the control room and turns to Grogma:: Grogma: Can you spare a crewmember to escort us around the ship?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
::Looks at tricorder data:: XO: There; the shielding is at it's peak in the engine room. Jesus, that is incredibly strong to say it's so localised!

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Starts to walk nonchalantly about, looking at consoles, aiming very slowly for the area where the voice has come from::

Host Deleah says:
~~~CNS: Oh, sorry, but you're the only receptive mind here. But I need close proximity to communicate past images. Can you enter the following sequence into the main console, then I can get control back of this ship?~~~ ::shows a complex sequence to Roalla::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@Grogma:  If there are no objections, of course?

Grogma says:
@CTO: Certainly. ::motions for Hortle to go with the CTO::

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
OPS: Makes sense. The zero-point system is constantly teetering on the brink of massive devastation.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Waves a security officer to follow the CTO::

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Nods to Hortle: Hortle: Pleased to meet you.

Grogma says:
@FCO: Well, the computer for some reason has the theory, but not the schematics... or was it the other way around.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@FCO: Lieutenant, perhaps Grogma would like to accompany Ensign Drum in order to show off his clever find?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
All: Lets just hope the CTO knows not to start a fire fight in the engine room.

Grogma says:
@<Hortle> ::makes a non-committal grunt::

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: It's like a nuke. The Federation got past this sort of instability years ago.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Leaves the command deck and purposefully walks in the direction of the engine room: Hortle: Is this the way to engineering?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Shrugs at Grogma.::  Grogma:  We could take a look if you like?  We might be able to help you get on your way?  Its the least we could do for your co-operation.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CEO/OPS: So then it's an old system?

Grogma says:
@<Hortle> CTO: Uhm, yeah, I think. ::Trots after the CTO::

Grogma says:
@FCO: Oooh, that would be very nice.

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
XO: I don't think so, it seems fairly advanced, they just don't know how to manage that sort of power.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Nods at the security officer who lags slightly behind while actively scanning the surroundings::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
@::Puts on his best poker face and turns to the CNS::  CNS:  Councelor, why dont you take a look at that and see what you can do?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
OPS: I see.

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
XO/OPS: Zero-point is well advanced past anything Starfleet uses. However, this particular engine seems to be... ancient. It's very odd.

CTO_Ens_Drum says:
@::Turns to Hortle:: Hortle: This deck is the right one for the engine room?

OPS_Ens_Holax says:
CEO: Really? How ancient?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CEO: So they're using advanced system on old engine designs?

CEO_Ens_Nadex says:
XO/OPS: Yes... from what I can tell, this thing is hundreds of years old. Not that you really needed to know this, but the pakleds didn't make it... ::chuckles::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CEO: Great, new idea, old way of using it.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@FCO: I'm not sure I'm qualified for that, sir.  ::raises her eyebrows to indicate something is up::
