Last time on the Seleya:

The Seleya picked up a distress signal from a nearby vessel and altered course to intercept.  Upon arrival they discovered the SS Helios a merchant ship that had obviously been attacked.  Propulsion and communications systems were offline.  When the Seleya appeared the vessel raised shields and powered weapons, even though they were clearly outgunned.

Upon reviewing the sensors data it was determined that the attack was done by the stolen Captain's yacht.  After a few tense moments the Helios finally lowered shields and the CTO, CEO, and OPS prepared an away team to assist with repairs and the wounded.

Captain's log, Stardate 11310.13. We are assisting the Helios and I expect to leave her well enough to travel to the nearest starbase. Once that is done, and if Starfleet allows, I will chase the stolen Yacht.

<<<<<<Sins of the Father…II>>>>>>>>>

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In transporter room one waiting for the medical team before beaming over.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I want to go after the Yacht before the trail dies off. Do you think Starfleet will let us?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::In his chair, going over data from the ship's long range sensors::
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Wipes brow and leans against the bulkhead, waiting for the boarding party/relief team to arrive::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::In the transporter room, making sure he has all his equipment ready::
MO Swan says:
::Arrives in TR1 with a medical team.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: CO: Depends if we'll ask them or not. If we'll go back to the station first I'm pretty sure we won't be able to catch them before they'll strike again. ::Pauses for a brief moment:: Assuming they will strike again.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up as he sees Swan enter the room.:: All:  Ok let’s go, remember they are likely to be a bit jumpy.  ::Steps up onto the transporter padd.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Steps on the transporter pad as well::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I agree, but if we do not arrive on Vulcan as scheduled we are in trouble. Contact Starfleet. Send them the information we have and ask whether we can pursue the Yacht.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Joins the others on the pad::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Waits for the others to get into position::  TR Chief:  Energize.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the Captain, he begins to write the data packet:: CO: Are you worried about what's awaiting us? 

ACTION:  The away team is transported to the Helios.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::As the effects of the transport wears off he looks around trying to determine who was in charge.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Looks around after arriving on the Helios::
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Straightens as the team arrives, fighting off his weariness:: All: Welcome to the Helios... I think.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Oddly enough no. My conscious is clear. If they are as rational as Vulcans claim to be, there is only one conclusion to be drawn from the events. Are you ... worried?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods at the captain, waiting for Heller to take the initiative in responding::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: What's the worst they can do, fire me? ::Shrugs::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Steps forward toward the man who spoke.:: Capt:  I'm commander Heller of the Seleya, this is Commander Pandora, and Ensign Baro, our Chief engineer, he should be able to help with your repairs.  ::Indicates the medical:: And we can help with the wounded.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sends the packet:: CO: Packet sent and received by Starfleet. Awaiting reply.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Oh no Maor, you know they will not do that. Nor is that the worse they can do.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Very well. Now we sit and wait. By the way, we never finished that conversation in Summit.
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Nods:: CTO: I appreciate the assist. We lost 5 crew in the attack and our comms and propulsion was hit. Lots of wounded too. I will have some of my crew show your officers where they are needed. ::Nods to three men standing nearby::
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Hides his suspicions badly, but they need the help more than his pride::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: It's odd, I can't seem to be able to remember anything after I asked that question. It's almost like I disappeared somewhere. ::Glances up at the direction of the CO:: Weird.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances back to Baro,::  CEO:  Work on their propulsion first, get anything you may need from the Seleya.  OPS:  See what you can do about communications and coordinate with the Seleya on any parts and supplies they may need for the repair.  ::Nods to the medical team to begin work.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
@CTO: Aye sir. ::Follows the crewmember to the engine room::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Listens to the conversation and the CTO's orders, wondering what the extent of the damage to the communications system is::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I try not to think too much about what happened. But before it happened, I was surprised with your answer. If you wanted to be a scientist, how come you ended up in medical?
Capt Peltornis says:
@CTO: Shall we continue on the bridge? I have a few questions.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Turns back to Peltornis noting his suspicion::  Capt:  Yes that seem prudent, I will do my best to answer any questions you may have.  ::Begins following Peltornis toward the bridge.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Scientist? I don't remember ever saying that.. Did I?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Follows the Helios' crewman to their communications center::
CEO Ens Baro says:
@::In the engine room he is told what the status of the repairs is. Then he checks what equipment he needs from the Seleya::
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Walks a few paces before talking:: CTO: Do you have any idea why that ship attacked us?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: My mind was a bit blurry. Perhaps I was not listening to you anymore. I've been thinking a lot about that lately you know. I often ask myself whether I am doing justice to my young self.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: How so?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I wanted to fly ships and discover the edge of space. Not chase stolen Yachts or fight unknown aliens.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Shakes his head as he walks.:: Capt:  Honestly I don't know, was hoping you might be able to shed some light on that, what kind of cargo were you carrying?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I bet you just miss the Elara. At least we got to do more scanning than shooting.
CEO Ens Baro says:
@::As soon as the equipment is transported aboard Baro started working on the propulsion systems::
Capt Peltornis says:
@CTO: Mostly computer components, Commander. Nothing was taken, like they wanted us disabled in this area. ::Frowns at Heller:: The registry on that ship is the same as yours. Were they acting on your orders?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Gets to the communications center and has a look at the status board::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Smiles:: XO: I do miss her, but I don't want to go back. It is hard to explain, You should look up what Saudade means. That is what I feel for Elara. No ... I do not think this chair is the place where I am most useful.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Frowns:: CO: What are you on about? You love being a Captain.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Do I?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns around in his chair to face the CO:: CO: Is there something you're not telling me?
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Enters the bridge and walks over to one of the consoles, tapping a moment and pulling up some information::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I'm leaving. Whatever happens in Vulcan, I am either getting a gavel or losing one. Either way, this chair will be empty.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::After giving the board a quick look and noticing that, except for internal and short range communications, all systems appear to be down, he heads over to a console to see what the extent of the damage is exactly::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Frowns.:: Capt: They didn't take anything?  And now they weren't acting on our order, the ship was stolen from us a few weeks back, shortly after the attack on Earth by the Vroa, we ran into a group of pirates stealing equipment from Starbase one, we captured much of their crew but a few got away by stealing the yacht.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Takes a deep breath, one gigantic weight being lifted from her shoulders::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Where is this coming from all of a sudden? You never mentioned being unhappy with this position. Hell, if I remember correctly I followed you here because you wanted to Captain the flagship.
Capt Peltornis says:
::Frowns at the information:: CTO: That long ago? ::Points at the scans:: This didn't make any sense at the time, but it appears they were following us for a few days before attacking.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Looks into the long range communications system to see what parts are still responding and which parts need repair or replacement::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I wanted the chair. And I want you by my side, I still do. But when the invitation from Starfleet command came, I struggled, but I knew there was only one answer. I won't have to fight anymore, I will be able to do what I am good at: receive data, interpret it and decide what to do.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Looks down at the scan information.::  Capt:  They were shadowing you?  But why especially if they didn't want your cargo.  ::Said almost more to himself than Peltornis.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I have to say, you're really surprising me here. I never would have guessed you'd take the next step. ::Leans back in his chair:: What did they offer you?
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Shakes his head:: CTO: You would know better than I. But it appears they wanted us disabled in this particular place. Maybe to lure you here?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I don't have all the details yet, but I will probably work with Harlan in the deep space missions. The final frontier and all that.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@Capt:  I suppose it is possible.  Do you have the sensor information for when you were attacked?
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Nods and pulls up the data from the attack::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Never pegged you for a pencil pusher, Captain. Is your decision final or can I still take you out of it?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Isolates a few data relays that will need replacement before they can start a diagnostic on the transceiver array::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Oh, I expect to take a ride from time to time. But the decision is made. I didn't give a final answer to them. But in my head ... the decision is made.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Leans over the console, studying the data intently, noticing a few changes had been made to the Caravel.::  Capt:  Looks like they only wanted to disable your communication and propulsion, as soon as that was achieved they took off.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods slowly:: CO: You have one problem, you know.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: You know I meant what I said. If I do get that gavel, there will be a place for you pushing pencils. But I would rather you stayed.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Frowns:: XO: I do?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Who's going to tell Ivanova?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: William. He has his father's charms. ::Smiles::
Capt Peltornis says:
@CTO: But that doesn't make any sense. Five dead just because they have something else in mind. ::Slams a fist on the console::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances over at Peltornis understanding his anger.::  Capt:  I wish I could give you an answer, but I promise I will track down who did this.  ::Glances back down at the console.::  Can I take a copy of this data?
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Takes a deep breath and then releases it:: CTO: Of course you may. ::Copies the information to an isolinear chip and hands it over::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Takes the chip.::  Capt:  Let me check in with my people see how the repairs are coming.
Capt Peltornis says:
@::Nods and turns his attention back to the scans, trying to glean some more information from it::

ACTION:  A reply is sent to the Seleya from Starfleet command.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Taps his commabadge.::  *CEO/OPS*:  How long before we can get their systems back online?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: We have a reply. We have five days to find the yacht before we are to report back to the station.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: What do you say? One last adventure?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Absolutely. Contact Heller. Ask him how long he needs.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::After asking some engineers to get to work on replacing the identified relays, he sets to work preparing the diagnostic::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his badge:: *CTO*: Maor to Heller.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@*CTO*: I expect another hour and a half, maybe 2, until we should be good to go. Need some parts replaced.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  Heller here commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: We just got permission from Starfleet to pursue the yacht. How soon can you be here?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*OPS*:  Get what you need from the Seleya.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@*CTO*: Understood.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  We should be wrapped up here in a few hours commander.
