Last time on the Seleya:

The captain tried to relax and let her people do their jobs while she worked on a captain's nightmare, reports.  The first officer and ambassador worked on coming up with ideas on how to approach the Udundians when they arrived; how they might change their minds.

The TO, CEO and FCO left for a meeting of the expansionists, a group whose sole desire is to take their people back to the stars.  Ta'hal met them and brought them in.  After a speech by one of the leaders of the group, Ta'hal spoke with the CEO & TO about coming up with an idea for a distraction during the Khau's 100th birthday that would not harm anyone.  As they were about to leave, security tried to enter the place.  But unknown to security, the FCO had been watching and worked to put a stop to that.

Surprise on his hands, the FCO takes them out, but not before being harmed.  The expansionists escape and CEO and TO meet up with the wounded FCO to head home.  Due to caution, one of the leaders set someone to follow and check the newest recruits out.  Umsfek watched them escape.  While no one saw a tail, the TO was certain they were being followed.  With the wounded FCO, they took a circuitous route home.  But did they remain unseen?  The FCO now rests, his wounds tended.

The CTO and SO went to search out the two remaining sites that were possibilities of the Udundians coming to this world at.  They located it. Unfortunately, before they were able to do much recon, they had unexpected visitors.  It is now the following day and they have not yet checked in.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11102.05: With the arrival of the CEO's team we are faced with yet another problem, our possible discovery. While the team has made a sound effort to discourage their pursuers I am not optimistic they were able to elude them all. Just another day.

<<<<<<<<<< The Last Ones:  The Night After… >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
@::Sitting in a cold, gray... why did they always choose gray for such places?... room, she tried to keep hold of her patience which was wearing thin... hopefully her disguise was not.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Sat at the table in the kitchen, eating some crackers::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::In the living room, studying the notes he's been taking on his PADD::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Taps his badge:: *CEO, TO*: Gentlemen, to the basement please, as soon as possible. ::Closes the channel::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Winces a little, knowing he probably has some unpleasant words for them about the potential stalker::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Her disguise was what worried her the most.  It was good, after all this time she had it perfected, but under serious conditions, serious check over...  after all, one could not simply change their blood.  And they had no surgeon for alterations.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Sighs:: Self: Always when I'm eating. ::Puts the crackers away and makes his way to the basement::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Checks something on his PADD:: *CTO*: Maor to Commander Heller.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Joins the CEO in his descent:: CEO: Ten strips says we're on latrine duty...

ACTION:  There is no response from the CTO, just silence.

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Stands from his chair, seems like they had finally been able to convince these military types that they weren't terrorist, just two people doing some late night cave exploring.::
CEO En _McKnight says:
::Smirks:: TO: We? You were the commander officer.
TO LtJG Truus says:
CEO: Don't remind me...
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Pauses at the basement door:: CEO: I feel like I did it all wrong... but I did the best I could.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Silence... earlier she had thought silence would be nice and peaceful with them throwing one question after another at her.  But for some reason, gray and silence did not equal peaceful.  She shivered; it was cold here as well.  Was cold also part of such places?::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Shrugs his shoulders:: TO: Well, how were you to know some gunmen would turn up and that Mac Arthur would end up in a fire fight.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up as he hears noises from the direction of the stairs:: *CTO*: Maor to Commander Heller. ::Tries again::
TO LtJG Truus says:
CEO: At least MacArthur is okay. I'm more worried about Umsfek. ::Sighs and enters the basement::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Is led from his small featureless room to the room next door where he sees Rose sitting quietly, looking slightly nervous.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Follows Truus:: TO: If he shows up we'll set Maor on him.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glares at the direction of the new arrivals:: CEO, TO: Hold on. ::Taps his badge once again:: *SO*: Maor to Lieutenant Rose.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up at the direction of the CEO and the TO:: CEO: Access the computer, find me the CTO and the SO. ::Gestures at the direction of the computer behind him::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns to the direction of the TO:: TO: Did the CTO inform you as to their plans before they left?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Pauses for a moment then moves to the computer::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::As the door opens and she sees Heller, she stands with a weak smile.  This was not a time to show strength... that would not be what their 'hosts' would have expected.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Nods:: XO: They were checking out possible Udundian landing sites.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Do you know which one?
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: There were two of them. I don't know the specifics.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Tries to track their comm badges but he can't seem to locate a signal::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances at MP behind him and turns back to Rose::  SO:  It's time for us to go, guess they've finally decided we are who we say we are.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Looks over at McKnight:: CEO: Any luck?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Waits for the CEO's reply::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::She nodded as she moved to join him.:: CTO:  Some first date.  :: hears her stomach growl.::  I believe you still owe me at least breakfast.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Tries another search:: XO: Found them...well their comm badges that is.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Where are they?
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Chuckles:: CEO: We should really start using sub dermal implants. Combadges are so easy to misplace.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Glances at the guard and back to Heller::  CTO:  What time is it?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Checks the location and brings up Heller's last log:: XO: They’re located at the first site they intended on investigating.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Smiles as he leads the way toward the main desk where their stuff is waiting for him, glad he had decided to stash their combadges and tricorders before they were confronted.::  SO:  It's defiantly a unique first date, one to remember.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: When was the last time they reported in?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Accesses the log data again:: XO: 2 am sir. That isn't long after they would of arrived on site.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@SO:  I'm not sure, my watch is in my bag but I believe somewhere around 10am.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: CEO: Transfer everything from the computer to the secondary safe house computer. Destroy everything on the computer when you're done. ::Turns to the direction of the TO:: TO: Get the car, we're going after them. Grab weapons. ::Picks up his PADD and makes his way up the stairs:: 
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Blinks in surprise but nods:: XO: Yes sir. ::goes to grab some phasers::

CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Begins the transfer:: XO: Aye sir
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CTO:  I am going to be in trouble with my boss.  I doubt very much they told anyone where we were at... ::Looks around::  where ever this is.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Makes his way toward the rooms, making sure nothing that can be traced to them will be left behind::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::As she grabs her gear, she chatters, just as if she were nervous... which she was when it came down to it.  Too many things could go wrong and it would only take one to ruin what their operation here.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: Is McKnight coming with us, sir?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Grabs his bag from the desk::  SO:  Guess we'd better get you to work, don't want you to lose your job.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CTO: My roommate probably thinks we went to work this morning.  I wish they would have at least let us contact someone.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Yes. Once he's done. ::Finishes with the last room:: *CEO*: We're ready, Ensign. Meet us at the car. ::Turns to the TO:: Let's go.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Nods, hands them each a phaser:: XO: Car's in the garage.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@SO:  Standard procedure for suspected enemies of state, even for members of the military.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CTO:  I can hear that conversation now.  "Where is Svai?  She was to have checked in hours ago.  If she does not get her soon, she will be fired."  And of course, my roommate would have no idea what they were talking about... :: she chatters on as they exit the building.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Finishes up:: *XO* Aye sir, heading to you now. ::gets up and leaves the basement as a few sparks fly from the computer's tower::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Pauses and looks really annoyed at him::  CTO:  And that is another thing!  Sheesh, you would think military would trust their own people.  What is this world coming to.  ::With that she turns and hustles out of the building, ignoring those watching them.::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Shakes his head at Rose's outburst and turns to the MP beside him::  MP:  Oh thanks now you've got me in trouble.  ::Follows her out of the building and heads toward where they were told their vehicle was parked.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Steps outside and moves toward the garage::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the car:: TO: Start it. ::Checks his phaser:: Drive normally, we might be under surveillance yet.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Quickly jumps into the back seat::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::She ignores the chuckles she hears as the doors close behind them.  That was good... yes, good to hear.  At least she believes so.  It meant they were at least partially believed.  Seeing their car, she relaxed a bit.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Takes the wheel and fires up the ignition:: XO: Don't worry. First impressions aside, I'm usually very discreet. ::chuckles and gets the car moving once everyone's inside::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Speeds up to catch up with Rose and she reaches the car, heading around to the driver’s seat::

SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Climbing into the passenger side, she looked over at Heller::  CTO:  Now what?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Keep monitoring their comm badges, Ensign. See if anything changes.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Drives toward the CTO's last known location, careful to follow all traffic rules::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Opens his tricorder and keeps an eye on the comm signals::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Gets into the driver’s seat and starts the engine and check around making sure no one is nearby::  SO:  Don't want to head straight back to the house.  Will need to make sure they aren't tailing us.

ACTION:  Two hours have passed.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: For the seventh hundred time, I have no idea what you spy with your little eye! ::Turns back:: TO: What's our ETA, Ensign?
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Placing her napkin to the side, she looked out the window, something she had been doing for the last hour.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: At least he's not asking if we're there yet. Shouldn't be long now.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Sinks into his seat and mumbles:: Self: Executive kill joy.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Sits back in his chair at the small restaurant they had found downtown having just finished their meal.  He looks around the restaurant again looking for any signs that someone was watching them.::

ACTION:  XO's team arrives at the location their crewmembers had visited the night before.  There are signs of there having been multiple vehicles in the area.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around:: TO: Keep driving, they might be watching the area.

Scenery: Toward the back of the mountain are a stand of trees, not far from them is a dark shadow, marking the entrance to a cave.

TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Circles around a bit::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Leans forward slightly, her voice low::  CTO:  I have not seen anyone since we left, but I still do not trust it.  We need to contact our people.  There is no telling what they think might have happened to us.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Let's risk an active scan. See if you can detect any Human DNA around. 
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Nods and enters the command into his tricorder::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Slows down a bit, but keeps the car moving::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Leans forward as well::  SO:  I haven't seen anything to make me think we were followed, there's no telling what they are doing at the moment, we are at least 9 hours past our last check in, just how to contact them without going back to the house.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Coughs:: XO: Considering I'm using an engineer’s tricorder I'm not finding anything but I can give you a location from their comm badges::

TO LtJG Truus says:
::Rolls eyes and gives the CEO his tricorder:: CEO: Try mine.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: We should have a medical one in the back, see if you can find it. ::Curses and considers something:: Self: I'm going to regret this. ::Removes his phone and attempts to connect to someone::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Bites her bottom lip for a moment.::  CTO:  If we can get to a library, I can access their commlink.  I can reroute the message.  If nothing else, all we need to do is let them know we are alright and will be back when we think it is safe.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
TO: I'll try dig out the medical tricorder ::Turns around and routes through the back for a medical tricorder::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Considers it for a moment.::  SO:  That sounds good, I'd imagine that the team is probably checking our last position at this point if they haven’t already, the sooner we can let them know what's going on the better.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Ends the call:: TO: Drive away, back to the new safe house.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Blinks:: XO: Sir?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO, TO: Seems they were caught and released a few hours ago.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::With a nod, she stands and heads out.::  CTO:  Or Maor and his magic may have learned what happened to us.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Finds the medical tricorder and turns around:: XO: Sir? Shouldn't we retrieve the comm badges?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: We should, we'll stop on the way back. We need to return on our tracks anyway. ::Points to a distant point:: TO: Stop there.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Gets up and pays the bill before following Rose out the door.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Nods and stops at the indicated spot::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Ignores the occasional looks they get.  As he comes up to her side, she makes her way to a transport::  CTO:  There is one thing I do not like about this society... the caste system.  Though it could be worse, if I remember Earth's history.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Stay with the car. ::Nods to the direction of the TO:: TO: Let's go, Ensign. Stay sharp. ::Exits the car and makes his way toward the entrance of the cave::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Frowns a bit at the XO getting his rank wrong, but doesn't say anything. Follows close behind him::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Watches the XO and TO from the rear window like the family dog left behind::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Checks his tricorder for any nearby life signs:: TO: Should be right there. ::Points inside the cave::
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: I'll take point. ::Goes in cautiously, phaser at the ready::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::As the transport arrives, she inputs her card and takes a seat near the front.  The library was not that far from here.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Watches the TO take charge:: TO: So you do know how to operate a phaser.
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: I can if I must. I didn't do bad on the firing range. ::flips his tricorder open with his free hand::

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Walks along next to Rose::  SO:  There were some worse situations in Earth's history but this one isn't easy to deal with either.  ::Enters the transport and takes the seat next to Rose, even though this raises a few eyebrows::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Makes me wonder why you didn't bring one with you before when you went to the meeting.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Points to the left:: TO: There. ::Points to a formation of stones::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Whispers::  CTO:  At least it is not forbidden.  :: Watches as some guards get on the transport and move to sit in the back... she remains quiet.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: They have security systems in there to detect any weapons. Trust me, I checked. ::nods and reaches into the rock formation::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: We'll talk about this later, just remember that this is far from over, Ensign. 
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Whispers::  SO:  Just makes us an oddity which could work to our favor, if they pay attention to that and not to anything else, might be why we got off so easy, no search of our place of living and such.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Says nothing until he comes up with the CTO's and SO's equipment:: XO: Here it is.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Nods, hoping he is right.  Then smiles::  CTO: I think Maor is rubbing off on me after all these years.  ::As the transport stops at their destination, she moves to climb out.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Let's go. ::Makes his way back toward the direction of the car::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Follows with all due haste::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Follows Rose out of the transport and heads toward the library.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CTO:  All in all, this could be worse.  ::She notes the guards get off as well, but as this was a library and a common stop, it could mean anything.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Returns to the car and takes the wheel again:: XO/CEO: Buckle up.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@SO:  I agree, seems to be going pretty good all things considered.  ::Notes the guards the depart after them::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CTO:  Did you find out why they went to where we were at?  Why all of this holubola?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@SO:  Simple bad timing on our part, seems they were tipped off to some expansionist activity last night and us leaving the city that late raised some suspicions  ::pauses for a moment::  I wonder if that means the others ran into some problems with their meeting.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Nods as they entered the library, that could mean even more change of plans.  She finds a commstation and sits down, leaving Heller to do any distractions.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances back at the direction of the back seat:: CEO: Everything went okay? 
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: With what sir?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Didn't notice anyone?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Blinks thinking "was I supposed to keep an eye out?":: XO: Eh no sir, can't say I did.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: CEO: Good boy.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Leans quietly against the wall near the SO, just a man waiting for someone to finish up what they were doing, but making sure no one came too close to overhear her.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Puts his foot on the gas and makes for the new safe house::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: She looks up after a moment.::  CTO:  Yep, defiantly a change of plan.  Two to be specific.
