The Seleya finds itself on a wild goose chase, it seems.

While wrapping up some down time, their XO & OPS were kidnapped at the same time as a Starfleet investigation team led by Zachary Marshall came onboard.

The two missing crewmembers have found themselves in league with former Seleya CO, Admiral Richard Bolitho ... and their former CNS, Kesh Suder.

Bolitho and Suder have explained they are looking into a conspiracy in which dangerous and top secret Starfleet technologies are being filtered through Federation civilian locations ... to persons unknown.

Boiltho feels that this "shadow" group has a dangerous plan in mind for this technology.

Meanwhile, the Seleya continues their search for their missing crew ... while Zachary Marshall gets a late night guest...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::arrives on the bridge at the start of her shift. She looks tired but her uniform is sharp::

ACTION: It is the early shift on the Seleya, but most of the senior staff have not gotten much sleep in their quest to find the missing crewmembers.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: In her office, waiting for the arrival of Kimmy's parents.::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Arrives in the transporter room with mission orders tucked under his arm and heads out the door towards the bridge::

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: Impressive record Lt. Pandora, maybe Kesh was right about you after all?

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps into the turbolift:: TL: Bridge

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Still trying to sort through the information he has been shown, barely making sense of it, then looks up a bit distracted as Bolitho speaks up:: Bolitho: Hm? Oh.. ::Tries to regain his posture:: Well.. I don't know.. I do am good at piecing things together, but that's about all for my talents..

EO Ens Tana says:
::on Deck 11, in the primary Sensor Control cluster, trying to find a way to cool it further to allow the sensors to work harder to find the missing crew::

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Piloting the Runabout:: Bolitho: We're in orbit of Negra. ::Looks out at the somewhat shattered moon that is really a bunch of asteroids being held together by gravity, that they're approaching::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Walks into sickbay coffee in hand::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sits in her chair and looks over the reports of the search for the missing officers::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: As her door chimes, she stands and orders the doors to open.::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps on to the bridge and walks to the captain:: CO: Chief Engineer Barnes reporting for duty as ordered, captain

ACTION: Two alarms go off simultaneously, one on the bridge at the tactical / security station ... and another in Sickbay.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::exits his quarters and heads to the bridge while wondering about the hugeness of this ship::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: As the parents enter warily, she motions them to the two seats.::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:

Richard Bolitho says:
@Kesh Suder: Good work Kesh prepare for our rendezvous

Computer says:
Warning - cessation of life sign on Deck Four.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up as she hears the alarm.::  Parents: One moment please...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Self: What the? 

EO Ens Tana says:
::face hidden behind a mask as he works a phaser welder, sealing a length of coolant piping when he hears the alarm:: Self: What now?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Takes a few steps into sickbay::  CMO: Doctor?

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: Don't be modest it’s those analytical abilities we in intel value. The ability to see the bigger picture?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: I just came in, did you do something?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Looks up to see where the alarm is coming from and thinks this could be an interesting first day::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods:: Bolitho: I know what you mean...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: No... medical emergency.  You have it?

EO Ens Tana says:
::flips up the mask and calls out:: EMMA: Emma?

TO Sing says:
CO: Ma'am, the computer is reporting that a life sign has just ceased. Bio scans are indicating someone has died on deck four ... section 12 ... room 413. Guest quarters for Zachary Marshall, ma'am.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::waits for the lift to stop at the bridge, yawns and then steps onto the bridge::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
TO Sing: Send a medical and a security team right away

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: Sure. ::Barks commands at the nearest orderlies and leaves sickbay with them::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::stays seated for a while looking at the screen thinking:: TO: In fact I'll go there myself. You have the bridge ::goes for the lift::

TO Sing says:
CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Sends out Security Team Alpha to the location::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Curious, but all is in hand, she steps back into her office and closes the door.::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Stands awkwardly on the bridge looking around::

EMMA says:
::climbs down off one of the upper supports and over to Tana::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::notices the CO walking towards the lift:: CO: Commander. ::nods::

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Brings the Runabout to a safe orbit. Then gets out of her seat:: Bolitho: We should prepare to get down there ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Runs into the nearest lift:: TL: Deck 4! 

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
Computer: Deck 4 ::looks to the bridge as the doors closed, her face is blank slate::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Taking her seat, she activates the monitor and turns it to face the parents.::

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Really unnerved by how quiet Selzah is being, but tries to hide it. Starts gathering strange looking phasers and tricorders, and handing them out::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to the replicator:: Computer: Coffee, double strong, double sweet.

Richard Bolitho says:
@ALL: Were beaming down, I suggest you gentleman change out of your uniforms, there’s a replicator in the back. I suggest your arm yourselves with none federation weaponry

Kesh Suder says:
@ Bolitho: This should help. Managed to scrounge together some PRISM issue tech. during our visit to that Starfleet Special Operations base ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Leaves the TL team in tow:: Computer: Show me the way to the emergency.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::walks down the corridor as the doors open and walks to the guest quarters::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly she explains the situation, the possible outcomes, and what they were working on now... basically trying to isolate the situation and what was causing it.::

ACTION: The arrow guides the CMO along the wall to the quarters where he and the CIV left Zachary Marshall hours ago.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Walks over to the CNS:: CNS: Chief engineer Barnes reporting for duty sir

EO Ens Tana says:
::takes off his gloves and plugs a engineering PADD into a jack on EMMA's side, bringing up the latest MSD data to find out the reason for this latest alarm::

Richard Bolitho says:
@Suder: Nice Kesh, takes an assortment and tucks its away on various parts of his body

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Gets up and steps over to the back to get some new clothes on:: Bolitho: Suggestions, perhaps a specific dress code?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::yawns again after taking the coffee and before turning to the CEO:: CEO: Let me guess, you're new here?

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CNS: Yeah, pretty much

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Makes sure all her technology is safely concealed::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Shocked by the location indicated, and over rides the door lock to enter the quarters provided for Marshall::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CEO: Ah, welcome to the Seleya then.

ACTION: Just as the CMO arrives at the door, the security team arrives behind him. The door swishes open to reveal Marshall sprawled on the ground ... his eyes open.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::arrives at Marshall's room after the CMO and the security guys are there. She stands in the outside the open door in the corridor waiting for the CMO to do his analysis::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CNS: Thank you sir

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: The dirty slept in look is popular down there

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Leans over Marshall and scans him with his tricorder::

EO Ens Tana says:
::sees the medical alert in the display and feels his heart skip a beat - he'd worked on those quarters:: ::logs into the computer and brings up the environmental control systems report for that deck to look them over on the small padd while Emma keeps still::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CEO: I'm Counselor Gnav.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CO: He's dead Jim!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Step by step she takes them through each test and situation, answer any questions they had and trying to calm their fears.  As a parent, she knew them herself all too well.::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CNS: Nice to meet you counselor

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::doesn't find it helpful at all, so decides to go for a casual shirt and blazer with matching black pants. A sort of trench coat to finish the whole thing, both for use in case of cold climate, and to hide whatever weapons they need to take::

ACTION: The Security team quickly moves through the quarters, securing the area ... then give the CMO a strange look.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::frowns calmly:: CMO: What? How?

Kesh Suder says:
@ ALL: All ready to go? ::Moves to the small transporter pad::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CEO: The captain is currently busy, but I can imagine you to go to Main Engineering and to have a look around right there. You're the Chief after all. ::smiles and sips of his coffee::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CO: I'll have to perform an autopsy; there aren't any visible signs of trauma.

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Steps onto the transporter pad::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::After putting the new clothes on, he moves back to the area where Suder and Bolitho are also located, taking one of the foreign looking weapons and putting it in the coat's inner pocket::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods:: CMO: Do what you have to. Warn me if you think this could be a security problem. When you file the report send it to me

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CNS: I think I will, Might try find my team first ::Heads towards the TL::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks at the security officers, opens her mouth then closes it:: All: I'll be on the bridge

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Steps onto the padd, looking around one more time, a bit of doubt still nagging his mind as to whether he is doing the right thing, moving along with this as far as he already has::

EO Ens Tana says:
::sees nothing out of place on the system report but feels compelled to check it out anyway:: ::turns to one of the senior technicians:: Tech: Chief Sarva, take charge here please. I'll be back as soon as I can. ::undocks the padd and taps the robot's head:: EMMA: Come Emma. ::slides off the coolant tower and falls the two meters to the ground::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::nods to the CEO while thinking he handled that quite well, considering he's quite new here too::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::walks back to the lift::

EO Ens Tana says:
::rushes across the catwalk toward the ladder with Emma in tow::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CO: Strangely enough, judging from his body temperature he's apparently been dead for three hours... But as you know tricorders are very good with the living and not so good with the dead.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::then he walks over to a console to write a message to the CO and to let her know the new CEO arrived. She would read it when she's got the time for it::

@ ACTION: Kesh presses a button, and the team of four ... the XO still remaining oddly silent ... beams down to the "surface" of Luna Negra. They find themselves in a dark corridor just off the main promenade. The smell of smoke, alcohol and other bad things strikes them. Flashing signs illuminate the area.

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Gulps::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps into the TL:: TL: Bring me to EO Ens Tana

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::turns back and nods at the CMO:: CMO: I will be waiting for your full report, namely, the cause of death. Meanwhile I will report to Starfleet what happened

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Takes in a depth breath and he slowly studies his surroundings::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: As they talk, she stands to get them some tea.::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CO: Understood. ::Motions at the orderlies which followed him to load Marshall onto a stretcher so he can be moved to sickbay::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Takes in his environment as they arrive on the moon's surface::

EO Ens Tana says:
::punches in his code to get through the fortified doors to Deflector Control and then rushes into the corridor to head for the lifts::

Kesh Suder says:
@ Bolitho: Where to, "Richard"? ::Trying not to identify him as Admiral::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::walks with intent to the lift, her mind not really in the corridor:: Computer: Deck 1

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps out of the TL and looks around to try figure out where he's going::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to the CNS seat and sits down, sipping from his coffee and waking up more and more::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads for her chair seeing the counselor is already there:: CNS: Hello Lt

Richard Bolitho says:
@ALL: This way ::Begins winding his way through the alley towards his destination::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: More a sense of adding normality then desire, the tea sits not drank, but the scent of it seems to relax them more than anything.::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::turns around:: CO: Good morning commander.

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Follows Bolitho::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*MO*: Come in. ::Leaves the quarters behind the body being carried to the lift:: 

CEO Ens Barnes says:
Computer: Illuminate the location to EO Ens Tana ::Goes and follows the arrows::

EO Ens Tana says:
::sees someone up ahead, coming out of the lifts::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CNS: I need you to continue the search for the time being. Zacchary Marshal is dead. I need to report it to HQ

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Following Suder and Bolitho, wondering where they lead him and Aan::

ACTION: The arrows point to a Trill in an engineering uniform, running with a robot "dog" beside him.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::walks to her ready room without further words::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
EO: Hey wait up!

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::nods to the CO and then wonders where he himself will go continuing the search::

EO Ens Tana says:
::winces, having hoped to avoid any contact:: CEO: Yes, sir?

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Stops outside a particular unsavoury bar:: OPS: Your not a Starfleet officer here , were to keep a low profile, so slouch a little, avoid eye contact and do not draw attention to yourself

CEO Ens Barnes says:
EO: Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm the new CEO around here

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Soon all the facts are on the table, so to speak, and a program put into place that they will begin on.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::makes sure the door is locked and sits at her desk. Then she sends an encrypted message to Stafleet Headquarters "Zacchary Marshall is dead, reason unknown. No sign of Trauma, medical team is performing an autopsy. Search for missing officers continues. Request advice"::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods, adjusting his stance accordingly:: Bolitho: Still getting used to the situation...

EO Ens Tana says:
::keeps his distance and makes no attempt to shake the man's hand:: CEO: Yes sir, Ensign Barnes. Welcome aboard the Seleya.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*MO*: Please prepare the morgue; we've got a body coming in. TL: Deck seven.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sits back in her chair looking at the wall ... waiting, thinking. The muscles on her face are tighter than they ever were and she probably got a new wrinkle or two::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
EO: Anyway, what’s happening, I arrive to find alarms beeping?

OPS Ens. Gren says:
::His console beeps:: *CO* Captain, you have a priority communiqué coming in from Starfleet Command ... ::Looks rather surprised:: ... from Admiral Crenshaw.

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Enters the bar moves away from the entrance:: Suder: Do you see him?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
*OPS Gren*: Pass it through ::takes a deep breath but it doesn't help one bit::

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Looks around, her eyes narrowing::

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# ::Seated behind a desk, he looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep:: COM: Seleya: Commander Gomes ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: Admiral, I am awaiting your instructions

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# COM: Seleya: ... I just got forwarded a very disturbing message. Quite urgent, too. Am I to believe that Zachary Marshall is ... dead?

EO Ens Tana says:
::glances down at the robot:: CEO: Yes sir, I heard it too. The EMMA unit is able to download the basic Master Systems Display data so I was able to find out that it was reporting a death in the VIP wing. I was on my way to check the support systems to make sure they weren't a contributing factor. It would speed things up for Medical to be sure.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Steps out of the TL, the body being slowly carried in front of him:: Self: I hope there aren't any children in sickbay right now, someone might have to see that new counsellor.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: I sent it yes. As you know, he was here on an investigation. He arrived about 8 hours ago. Half an hour ago, the alarms in his quarters went off. He was found dead, alone and no apparent signs of trauma or struggle

CEO Ens Barnes says:
EO: Ok, you do that; I should go see the captain now

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# ::Rubs eyes:: COM: Seleya: Damn it ...

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: Keep an eye out for a Bolian, he shouldn't be too difficult to spot

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Chuckles:: Bolitho: Indeed.. ::Looks around, trying to find the man::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: I wish I didn't have to deliver this news. Especially now that we have lost track of my first officer and Operations Officer, presumably to the very person Marshal was investigating....

EO Ens Tana says:
::nods:: CEO: Yes sir. What time would you like me to report to you about the current open assignments?

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# COM: Seleya: This is a major problem, Commander. Zachary Marshall may have been there on Starfleet business ... but in the political world, he was essentially a celebrity. The go to guy for a LOT of POWERFUL people. When this gets out ...

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Takes only a short time to find a Bolian man, sitting in a dark corner of the bar:: Bolitho: There.. Left rear corner, bit dark...

CEO Ens Barnes says:
EO: Just leave me a memo; I think I'll be busy enough over the next few days

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: Good eyes!

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Chuckles:: Bolitho: Quick mind... ::Waits for the others to move::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: Perhaps we should try to keep this quiet sir, at least until the investigation he was conducting is over...

Kesh Suder says:
@ Bolitho: I've got you covered.

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# COM: Seleya: We'll have to. You need to get the Seleya to the nearest Starfleet Outpost immediately. We need to determine what happened with Marshall immediately.

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Walks over towards the Bolian and slips into the seat opposite him:: Brand: How very nice to see you again!

EO Ens Tana says:
CEO: Understood. I should see about that systems check. ::makes hasty his escape down the corridor with EMMA, calling the lift and fleeing up to the VIP deck::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: I understand Marshall's importance sir. But what of my missing officers? Will we just abandon them to their fate?

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Follows Bolitho, taking a seat with them, wondering what the meeting will be about::

Brand says:

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Sees one of his engineers running down the corridor with a robot and wonders what he has gotten in to::

CMO: Sure thing boss.

Richard Bolitho says:
@Brand: I suggest you remain seated Brand, you’re not leaving until I get what I've come for ::smiles ominously::

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# COM: Seleya: The last report I received seemed to indicate that the theory was that they were out there with ... Bolitho. Which means the chances of you finding them are slim to none. This issue, right here, right now ... takes precedence. Get to the nearest Outpost. That's an order, Commander.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to one of the science consoles and tries to figure out what scans would be useful::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Heads back to the TL to go to the bridge::

Brand says:
@ ::Hisses:: Bolitho: I thought you were coming alone!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: Understood sir! We will get going as soon as I close this channel. Anything else sir?

Admiral William Crenshaw says:
# COM: Seleya: No outside communications on this incident, Gomes. If the media gets wind of it ... ::Says no more, and gives her a look::

EO Ens Tana says:
::steps out on Deck 4 and walks to the nearest systems display, bringing up the floor map of the deck before tapping his badge:: *CMO*: Tana to Sickbay.

Richard Bolitho says:
@Brand: The situation changed, its appears things are heating up slightly

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: SF HQ: I understand Admiral; I will issue a clear and direct order for all officers involved. If they leak a word, I will personally send them to a penal colony

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps out on to the bridge again::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*EO*: Atreides here.

Brand says:
@ ::Looks at them nervously:: Bolitho: I know. Everyone that talks to you dies! What in the Great Bird of the Galaxy's name have you gotten yourself into, Bolitho?!

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::listens as the conversation develops::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sits back, she is not a happy woman::Self: I need a Port

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::gets up and heads for the bridge::

Brand says:
@ Bolitho: I don't know if I can do this ... this is too big ... ::Starts to get up::

EO Ens Tana says:
::frowns and notices an artefact in the record and extracts the file for closer scrutiny, almost missing the reply:: *CMO*: Doctor, Ensign Tana from Engineering here, sir. I'm responding to the earlier alert to check on the systems to see if they were a factor in the... situation.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
duty FCO: End the search pattern and plot a course to the nearest Starfleet Outpost or Starbase

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: The matter of Zacchary Marshall is now officially classified. You are to discuss it with no one

FCO Ens Kerrigan says:
CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Sets course::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*EO*: I'm about to start the Autopsy, the body should be ready by now. ::Runs into the changing room near the morgue to change into something that can get covered in blood::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Heads over to the captain:: CO: Chief engineer Charles Barnes reporting for duty as ordered, captain

EO Ens Tana says:
*CMO*: Understood, sir, and I won't hold you up. But I would like an answer to a question. Can you estimate a time of death?

FCO Ens Kerrigan says:
CO: Outpost 721 is the nearest Starfleet supported base, ma'am.

EO Ens Tana says:
::synchs his padd up to the display and downloads the files for safekeeping::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*EO*: About three hours. 

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
TO Sing: Warn the security team at the Marshall's quarters about the delicacy of the matter. If anyone discusses this, they are facing a court martial

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO Kerrigan: Plot a course and engage at maximum warp when ready

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CMO*: Gomes to Atreides

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::frowns at the CO, but continues to find out anything about the disappearance of the XO and OPS::

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Gestures to Pandora to help the Bolian back into his seat::

TO Sing says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

EO Ens Tana says:
::frowns, looking down the hall toward the room:: *CMO*: I was afraid of that, sir. The sensor record doesn't record the alert it until a short while ago, though it detected it around the same time you just mentioned.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Stops changing half undressed and taps the com badge on his tunic now lying on the floor:: *CO*: Atreides here, how can I help?

FCO Kerrigan says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

ACTION: The Sovereign Class Seleya comes about slowly, then engages warp for Outpost 721.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CMO*: All information related to what happened to Mr Marshall is now classified. If you discussed it with anyone already, warn them that if any information leaks out of this ship they will be court-martialled

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*CO*: Understood.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: It may indeed be quite difficult to leave two of the crew behind, but what weighs more? What is the impact of Marshall's death?

TO Sing says:
CO: Ma'am, I just got a report from the security team inspecting Mr. Marshall's quarters ... all monitoring data - tapes, sensors, etc. from the last four hours has been deleted.

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Takes the padd, studies it for a few seconds and then passes it to Kesh:: Brand: And?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*EO*: That estimate just got classified Ensign. ::Looks at the body lying in front of him and starts to check it for any external signs of trauma, or anything which could indicate foul play::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks at the counselor frowning:: CNS: Does it matter? How important should one person's death be to overweight the lives of other two?

EO Ens Tana says:
::overheard some of the conversation:: *CMO*: Yes, Doctor. I'll get working on this issue. Tana out.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Standing by her door, she watches them walk out of medical.  Taking a deep breath, she goes in search of the CMO::

Richard Bolitho says:
@Brand: Anything else?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CO: It shouldn't be. But remember, although we don't stay there, we keep on searching on how to get them back. We're a multitalented crew as you've said yourself.

Brand says:
@ Bolitho: No, just ... ::Eyes widen and looks beyond them::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CNS: Yes but I hate to be on dry-dock when there is so much to be done. This crew will only really work when it has all its pieces, that includes the first officer and the operations officer

::remembers she heard something when she arrived on the bridge and looks at the officer standing there:: CEO: At ease Lt. Welcome aboard. I apologize for the delay but I've had a lot on my mind

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Self: Wow that guy sure had a lot of moles

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CO: Understandable, captain

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*CMO*: I take it the medical emergency call came too late.  I can assist you if you would like.

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Keeping a tight hold of Brand, he returns fire:: Suder: Kesh, get us out of here!

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Stays down and returns fire:: Bolitho / OPS: We're in a compromised spot!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
TO: Deleted? How? ::frowns::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*MO*: Another set of eyes would be nice. ::Gets a scalpel and makes the Y incision::

TO Sing says:
CO: We're unsure, ma'am. Someone hacked into the system and just barely covered their tracks ...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*CMO*: I am on my way...

TO Sing says:
CO: Engineering might have a better chance of determining how, as they have been working on the security systems of late.

@ ACTION: More blasts erupt around the group, as Kesh presses a button.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods at the TO::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@Suder/Bolitho: Back door?

@ ACTION: One blast flies right at Bolitho and Brand as they disappear in a transporter beam.

@ ACTION: The whole group arrives on the transporter pad in a crumpled mess.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CEO: You heard the TO. Look into these missing files. It might have been a malfunction. We need to rule everything out by the time we get to base. But remember, all data is for mine and the Admirals' eyes only

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Gets up and darts for the conn::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Making her way to the autopsy lab, she stops to change into a medical gown.::

Richard Bolitho says:
@Suder: Get us out of here Kesh!

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: I'll get right on it ::heads towards engineering::

@ ACTION: The smell of scorched flesh fills the cabin.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Looks around as they return on the runabout, noticing Brand is not quite alright, and rushes over to him to check him out:: Bolitho: This is not good... ::Scans him:: He's dead!

@ ACTION: There is a large, smoking hole in the Bolian's chest.

Richard Bolitho says:
@Self: Damn it......

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks worried at this whole situation, glances at the counselor then gets up:: CNS: I'll be in my ready room. Warn me if there are any developments

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Gets the laser saw and removes Marshall's chest plate::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*CNS*: I am about to help with an autopsy, we still need to meet.  Perhaps during your next break.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Arrives into ME and heads towards his new office::

Richard Bolitho says:
@::Begins searching Brands pockets looking for any more information::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::With nothing else to be done at the back, he moves to the Runabout's bridge as well:: Bolitho: The federation transport services? How high does this matter go?

Richard Bolitho says:
@Suder: Alpha Centauri! We have a certain Renauld Martin to visit!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Puting on a mask, she enters the autopsy room.   Sorrow touches her given the talk she just came from.  Putting it aside, she continues in.::  CMO: What do we have?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods at the CNS then walks away::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::enters her RR and heads for a small closet on the floor. From it she takes a small glass and a bottle of wine. She goes to her table and pours some of the wine to the glass::

EO Ens Tana says:
*CEO*: I have to report something to Commander Gomes, but when you have a chance, I could use your counsel.

Kesh Suder says:
@ ::Sets course:: Bolitho: Course plotted, and engaged. ::Looks worried::

Richard Bolitho says:
@OPS: Welcome to my world Lt. ::smiles slightly::

EO Ens Tana says:
*CO*: Tana to Commander Gomes. Ma'am, do you have a moment?

CEO Ens Barnes says:
*EO* Stop by my office later then

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sighs::*EO*: Yes Ensign. I am in my ready room

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: Wang prepared some fluid samples. ::points:: Could you get them analysed for me?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:

ACTION: Meanwhile, on the surface of Luna Negra ... amidst the ending chaos of the fire fight that just happened ... someone steps between the dead patrons and the armed mercenaries ... a woman who removes a helmet to reveal dark hair and beautiful Risan features ...
