This week on the Seleya: The ship was recalled to Starbase so the crew could have some R&R and so the captain could turn herself into Security for a full confession. Only time will tell what happens now.

<<<<<BEGIN MISSION>>>>>

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::in the center chair, watching and waiting as the Seleya limps into dock. ::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::At his station on the bridge, monitoring the systems for any new problems::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::At one of the available consoles, minding his own affairs::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::in his office, redecorating::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Reviewing reports in his office::

ADM Alfano says:
@:: walking in his office waiting just waiting to get his hands on the captain ::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::Grimaces as the Seleya finally settles into her berth with a thud, glares at the helmsmen for a second. ::  OPS:  As soon as were given the all clear, get the crew on their way to the station.  then call a meeting of the department heads, we need to talk before we head over to the captains hearing.

ADM Alfano says:
@COM:Seleya: Welcome to Starbase enjoy your stay. You're cleared for disembarking

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: XO: Yes sir... ::Taps in a message for immediate delivery to all department heads, asking them to report to the lounge for a meeting 5 minutes later::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Sees the message appear in screen and then gets up and heads to the TL::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods and heads into to the lounge. ::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
TL: Bridge

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his seat towards the XO's direction:: OPS: Lounge? ::Gestures towards the retreating form of the XO::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps out onto the bridge and heads into the lounge::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::somewhere he vaguely hears his terminal beep:: Self: Why now? ::is somewhere on a stairs fighting around with wall decoration:: Self: Ah, have it waiting.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks around:: CIV: Yeah.. Is that a problem?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises from his seat:: OPS: Not likely. ::Moves to follow the XO::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Follows the XO and CIV after securing his console::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::almost falls off the stairs due to an unbalance created by the misalignment of the wall decoration compared to the gravitational centre of the whole object::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: walks into the lounge and takes a seat, waits for the others to arrive. ::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::looking out the window waiting for the others to arrive::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Enters the lounge, looking around to see who else is present::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Silently enters the lounge after the XO, giving the early CEO close inspection before quickly dismissing him from his attention. Glancing around, he finds himself a free chair and seats down::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::misses a step and finally tumbles off of the stairs over a couch and finally on the floor:: Self: Whoops.

ACTION: All the crew arrive on the station

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Takes a seat::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::sitting in a bar, nursing a drink and trying not to think about the captains hearing. ::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Sits alongside the OPS, observing the bar occupants:: OPS: I can't believe he got so mad.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::rubs on some bumps he got from falling, while walking onto the station::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: takes a deep breath, then looks up from the drink. ::  All:  Everyone here?

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Shrugs:: CIV: You've seen it... ::Sips his drink:: I don't know what there is not to believe... ::Looks down into the cup::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up in search:: XO: I think we're still missing the CNS, Commander.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:Nods. :: CIV:  We'll catch him up when he gets here, right now, I want to talk to everyone about what’s happened and what’s going to happen.  :: looks at Maor in particular. :: I think we need some answers, if for nothing than our own piece of mind.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::arrives at where he has to be::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
XO: With all due respect, Commander. ::Clears his throat for a moment, collecting his thoughts:: It's out of your and my hands at this point. To tell you the truth.. ::Leans closer towards the XO's direction:: This entire ordeal seems wrong.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
XO, All: Perhaps the Admiral over there will be better suited to answer your questions? ::Gestures towards the Admiral's direction::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
Maor:  Commander, for whatever reason, the Captain felt she needed to protect this kid.  We dont know a damned thing about him.....Is he dangerous or something?  I guess I just want to know what she would do this.

ADM Alfano says:
::  The Admiral walks into where the crew of the Seleya are seated and snickers as he sits down near them::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::sits down without any sound::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Glances over and instantly stiffens. ::

ADM Alfano says:
:: glances over at the XO and smiles giving a little wave ::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
All:  Excuse me for a second........  :: gets up, straightens his uniform before slowly walking over and taking a seat opposite the Admiral, not saying a word. ::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at what the CIV is pointing at and notices an admiral::

ADM Alfano says:
:: looks up at the XO :: XO: Aan.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns his attention away from the two officers and towards the CNS's direction:: CNS: Everything alright, Lieutenant?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
Alfano:  You’re a little far from home Admiral.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CIV: Yeah, sort of. Just some bumps and bruises.

ADM Alfano says:
XO: With good reason.. I want to see the trial of your beloved captain.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::Shakes his head. :: Alfano:  That’s a hell of a grudge Admiral...she wasn’t even in command when we found Atropos.

ADM Alfano says:
XO: Still she's commanding the Seleya now. I have every right.. She and you all will go down.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Gets a slight grin on his face. :: Alfano:  With Balthazar in our custody, I'm thinking you'll be right behind us.

ADM Alfano says:
XO: Who said Balthazar was in custody. :: gives a slight grin ::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::rubs over a painful spot on his arm::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
Alfano:  Well, unless you sent in a tactical team and killed half a dozen of the Seleya's best security personnel, we have him in our brig.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: Pray tell how you go those bruises?

ADM Alfano says:
XO: I had him transferred to my brig. Just after you arrived. :: holds the PADD out for the XO to see ::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Suddenly doesn’t look pleased at all. :: Alfano: You....ON WHO'S AUTHORITY!  Not even you can just steal a prisoner!

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CIV: I was redecorating my office, but it seems I'm not very handy in keeping balance with all those things while being on stairs. So I just fell off a couple of times.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::Snatches the PADD.::

ADM Alfano says:
XO: Starfleet command. He's to be interrogated here.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: A Couple of times? ::Raises an eyebrow in amusement:: Perhaps it'd be best to utilize the various maintenance crew we have on board for next time?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
Alfano:  Interrogated for what?!  How many people he's killed!?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CIV: Could do that, but if I am not trying, I won't learn it.

ADM Alfano says:
XO: That sounds about right and to help with the trial of your lovely captain

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: Learn what exactly? How to be graceful?

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
CIV: No, how to redecorate.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: You can redecorate from level ground... Just don't go for high places....

XO Cmdr Aan says:
Alfano:  This is bull$#!#!  You take him and he's going to disappear down some Intelligence black hole and you know it.

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
OPS: Nah, draperies are much more fun when going down from the ceiling.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his musings:: XO: Is everything alright, Commander?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::Shakes his head. ::  Alfano:  Fine, take him.  We have the ships logs and our own firsthand accounts of the incident.  You can’t cover this up like Fret Jah, not this time.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods towards the CIV, then glares at Alfano. :: CIV:  Just a disagreement on ethics commander.

ADM Alfano says:
XO: Who said he would do that. He's going to be standing trial right beside your lovely captain. Oh and you think I can't. Remember who I am :: gets up and walks out of the lounge ::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Gets up and follows Alfano. ::  Alfano: What the hell are you talking about?  They have nothing to do with each other!

ADM Alfano says:
XO: Are you really sure about that..

XO Cmdr Aan says:
: Looks back at the table and then to Alfano, knowing he's beat. :: Alfano:  What....what do you want from me....from us?

ADM Alfano says:
:: gets into a turbolift and watches as the doors close :: XO: You'll find out..

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: You're being very quiet today, Ensign. Something on your mind?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Grits his teeth in anger, says nothing. ::  Alfano:  Norman was right.....you are lost.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CIV: Just listening to everything that’s going on

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Takes another sip from his drink::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Ah. And what conclusion can you conclude from what you've heard so far?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Stews for a second then strides back to the table. :: OPS:  I need you to get back to the Seleya right now, find out how they got Balthazar out of there!

SBOPS says:
*XO*: The Seleya has just been given priority clearance and is heading out of spacedock

XO Cmdr Aan says:
*SBOPS*:  WHAT?!

XO Cmdr Aan says:
*SBOPS*:  Belay that order immediately!  Tractor her if you have to!

CEO Ens Barnes says:
CIV: I haven't been here that long; I'd have to look into the history of it all

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Looks at everyone. :: All:  let’s go.

SBOPS says:
*XO*: Unknown sir we didn't give clearance for her to leave. Understood closing outter doors

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::taps comm badge:: Seleya: Beam us up now

ACTION: No response from the Seleya

CEO Ens Barnes says:
*SBOPS* Beam us aboard the Seleya

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Moves to meet up with the XO:: XO: Commander, you hold the command codes for the Seleya. Perhaps you should see if you can attempt to regain control remotely?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Looks at Pandora and the others. :: All:  Their stealing her to cover it up, everything,   The Battle, the Captains actions, everything.

SBOPS says:
*CEO* We can't our transporters have been disabled

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods at Maor. ::  *SBOPS*:  guide us to the nearest remote terminal!

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses at the sound of the CEO's conversation with the starbase operations:: All: They disabled all the transporters aboard the station?

SBOPS says:
*XO* Right around the corner.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the XO, wondering how much further things could go:: XO: I suggest we commandeer a vessel of our own... Anything from a shuttlecraft should be enough to keep up with the Seleya in her current state...

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: runs to the terminal and tries to input the Seleya's command codes. ::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Uses the view screen to try connect to the Seleya remotely::

ACTION: The input of command codes work. The Seleya stops in her tracks

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  If it’s who I think it is, they don’t need to keep her for long.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*SBOPS*: Were the transporters sabotaged or just disabled? ::Moves to stand behind the XO, observing his attempts to regain control of the vessel::

CNS LtJG Gnav says:
::recalls his knowledge on flying shuttles and systems which could be helpful::

SBOPS says:
*CIV* They were sabotaged.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
XO: I suspect we had better beam on board

OPS Lt Pandora says:
XO: If it is who you think it is, then the command codes won't have much effect... If you do get in, you have to lock out the computer core immediately...

ACTION: As quickly as the XO got into the Seleya, he is locked out and she resumes her course

OPS Lt Pandora says:
XO: Just stopping the ship won't be enough, I'm afraid..

XO Cmdr Aan says:
ALL:  She's stopped.  Let’s get the nearest ship and use their transporter.  They can’t have sabotaged every ship here...

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*SBOPS*: Understood. ::Raises an eyebrow in wonder at the successful override:: OPS: Guess you were wr--- ::Frowns as the codes quickly void themselves:: Right.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: hears the terminal beeping and swears out loud in Bajoran. ::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: *SBOPS*: We're going to require a vessel, operations. Do what you can to secure us one.

SBOPS says:
*CIV* I have a retrofitted Akira almost ready to go.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
XO: Got your wish, Commander. ::Starts moving towards the nearest TL:: *SBOPS*: Understood, we're going to need directions and direct line to Startleet HQ.
