Last time on the Seleya:

New crewmembers, new command, new paths.  After a ceremony with the changing of command and the recognition of a job well done in challenging circumstances, the crew celebrated and then spent some time on Vulcan for some R&R.  During that time the

Seleya was re-supplied and new mission orders given to her new captain.  At the end of three days, the crew headed out.

A week has passed.  The trip to the Zeta Serpends quadrant has been uneventful, allowing the crew to rest and go about their usual lives aboard a starship.

The ship is arriving at the edge of the system.  The asteroid belt is just within reach of sensors. 
Captain's Log 11311.17 - We're almost to the Zeta Serpends sector where we'll be meeting up with Dr. Drummond to start our search for the ancient artefact. 
<<<<<<<<< Revenge>>>>>>>>>>
SO Lt Rose says:
::In science lab two, quietly looking through the list of artifacts the archaeo crew had recovered to date.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::In medical, having claimed the CMO's office until a permanent person is placed there, she continues to review crew files.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Seated in his ready room, waiting for Cmdr Maor to join him.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::On the bridge, keeping an eye on the communications in the area::
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Arrives at the bridge and walks towards science::
CEO Ens Baro says:
::In Main Engineering, keeping the ship in shape::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::On the bridge at the tactical station keeping watch on the sensors, looking for anything out of the ordinary.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Standing outside the Captain's ready room. He activates the chime::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::looks up from the PADD he's reading:: XO: Enter.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the ready room:: CO: Captain. ::Nods briefly before making his way toward the chair in front of the Captain::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles in greeting:: XO: Be seated, Commander. I have some information regarding this mission I need to share with you, and I need your opinion afterward on who should be on the need to know list.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sits down:: CO: Go ahead, Captain.
CSO Ens Ix says:
CTO: We have the first direct scans of the system- Would you like a report Commander?
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: This artefact is a weapon. The one that destroyed the planet we are approaching. This was part of the information that was stolen and the reason we were sent here. To find it before the persons that stole the information.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Other than the fact that most of the pieces recovered were refined metal, there was not much that told the story of the people who once had lived on that world.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I figured it'll be something like that, it seems like there's always an ulterior motive behind our orders lately. What do we know about Doctor Drummond?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances up realizing he has the bridge.:: CSO:  Yes Ensign, what have you picked up so far?
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: We don't know who stole this information and Admiral Harlan warned me to be careful in who I trust with this information. I'm trusting you with this because you're my first officer and Alexandra and the Admiral both trust you, and I value their opinion.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Makes a few notations to review later.  Standing she heads out into the medical bay.  It was almost twice as large as the one the Andromeda.  It could almost be intimidating.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I don't know much about the Doctor other than what's in his personnel files... education, previous assignments and the like.
CSO Ens Ix says:
CTO: The system has an uncanny similarity to Sol. Only the fourth planet is a gas giant and the one asteroid belt is where the third planet would have been. The asteroid mass is slightly larger but similar t that of Earth. There are several refined metal remnants in the area. Likely artefact fragments.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Didn't we get an intelligence briefing? ::Raises an eyebrow in surprise:: I assumed that when I didn't get one they preferred to forward it to your eyes only. Are they even aware of the true nature of the artifact? 
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Wonders how to keep the engines running based on something about an artefact we know nothing about:: Self: And my dear captain wants me to protect the engines from the radiation of an artefact we don't know anything about.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Hands over the PADD with information he got from the Admiral:: XO: This is everything I have on this mission. ::Leans back in his chair::

ACTION: Flight takes the ship out of warp speed to full impulse.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Takes a closer look at the communications, now that they dropped from warp, to see what is going on in the area::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Now here is where I rely on you. Who do we include in the need to know pool? You know these officers better than I do, except for Ensign Ix of course.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and grabs and PADD, he skims it briefly before returning his attention back to the direction of the CO:: CO: What aren't they telling us? For an artifact as dangerous as you describe we hardly got any information we can use.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: As the briefing I sent out says, the artefact will probably be resistant to out scanners, if it is even in this system. The original users could have taken it with them. No-one knows since no-one has been looking for it until now.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CSO:  Any anomalous energy readings?

Scenery:  The ship passes through a Kiperbelt field as it heads for the inner portion of the system.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: CO: We'll need to brief the CTO on this, perhaps Lieutenant Rose too. We'll need all the help we can get if we need to keep it silent.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: XO: I agree. Keep it a small group for now. Would you inform them of the situation? I think I'll be needed shortly to meet with Dr. Drummond.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Frowns looking at her console:: CTO: Oddly only a very weak one from the base. It should have been higher. It seems they are on emergency power. We should try to contact them.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Yes, Captain. If that's all?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Sits down to talk with the first patient on her list for the day.  There was something peaceful about routine.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods turning toward OPS.::  OPS:  Try and hail the station.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Yes, thank you Commander. ::Gets up and heads for the door to the bridge::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks up from his station as he opens a channel:: CTO: Channel open, commander. And we're not picking up any communications in the area...

Scenery, a third of the way into the system, they pass by the outer gas giant, the others too far away to be more than a prick of light.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Follows the CO's retreating form before returning his attention back to the PADD:: *SO*: Maor to Rose.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Enters the bridge from the ready room, heading for his chair:: CTO: Report, Commander.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
COMM: Science Station:  This is the Seleya, we are entering the system now and are on approach.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Waits a moment before shaking his head:: CTO: No response...
SO Lt Rose says:
:: uploads the information for ensign Ix to review.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Waits for Heller to finish, before expecting a report::

Scenery:  The vastness of space remains just that as the ship flies inward toward the location of the base.  The sun grows brighter and brighter in the field of view.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  We've arrived in the system and are approaching the station, however power levels seem low, like they are on emergency power, and no response from our hail.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns:: OPS: No distress signal?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Shakes head once again:: CO: Not picking up any communications in the vicinity, captain.
CSO Ens Ix says:
CO: And no life signs ...

ACTION:  Nearing the asteroid belt, the ship drops to one-quarter impulse power.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Checks the chronometer before making his way back to the bridge, after not getting a reply from the SO::
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Sorry, commander.  My hands were full.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Closes his mouth on the question he was going to ask:: CSO: Thank you, Ensign. ::Thinks a moment:: CTO: Commander, prepare an away team to the station, find out what was happening there. Take Ensign Ix with you and see if Commander Maor is done with what I asked him to do.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*SO*: Understood, Lieutenant. We'll talk later. ::Makes his way toward his chair:: 

Scenery:  Smoothly the ship glides through space as it heads for its destination.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks up as Maor approaches:: XO: Commander, please go with the away team to determine what's happened to the science team.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::As the captain speaks, she taps her badge::SO: I have away team duty. Please report to the bridge as soon as possible.
FCO Wright says:
CO:  Captain, ETA is three minutes.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances up from his console before turning it over to Taliesin.::  CO:  Yes captain.
SO Lt Rose says:
*CSO*:  On my way...
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Taps his commbadge.:: *TO James*:  Get together a team and meet me in transporter room one.
CO Capt Varesh says:
FCO: Thank you, Mister Wright.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Finishes putting away things before heading out the door and to the lift.::
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Approaches Heller:: CTO: Any special orders?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Nodding every now and then as she listens, she makes a few notes.::  EO: Zeba, it sounds like things are going well.  I want to add a multiple vitamin to take daily.  That should help.

Scenery: On the view screen, an asteroid about the size of Mars smallest moon grows.

Scenery: The station has been compromised.  The shields are down, destroyed by an outside attack and breaches are seen throughout.  Remnants of a shuttles lies spread across the asteroid near the base while in orbit the scout ship drifts, opened to the stars.  There is no sign of the other shuttle.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks at the screen in dismay:: ALL: That answer one of the questions to what happened.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shakes his head.::  CSO:  Nothing at the moment, still don't know what we are heading into. ::Motions towards the lift.::  We should get going.  ::Looks over at Moar.::  I have a team standing by in transporter room one to accompany us.
MO Lt Storm says:
::As Zeba leaves she looks toward her schedule.::  *CEO*: Ensign Baro, this is Doctor Storm.  Are you available for your physical?  I have you listed as a "check every now and then to see if you are busy."
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Calling over to the group entering the TL:: CTO: Best you add EVA suits to your outfits.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Entering the bridge, she glances at the view screen before she takes the seat at science and quickly logs on.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Consider the CSO your responsibility, Commander. ::Enters the TL:: When we have a moment, I'll need a moment after we beam over.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Follows as she glances at the screen:: CTO: At least whoever did that has left.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Looks at Maor, resisting the urge to raise an eyebrow and just stays quiet::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Good idea captain. ::Taps his commbadge to signal James to prepare the EVA suits.::  XO:  Understood sir.  ::Hears the CSO's comment and hopes she's right about that.::

ACTION: Flight takes the ship in a geostationary orbit over the base.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Frowns at the screen, wondering why they aren't picking up the distress beacons from any of the damaged ships, and starts looking for a dampening signal::
CO Capt Varesh says:
FCO: Thank you, Mister Wright. ::Gets up and walks to stand between OPS and Flight, gazing at the screen::
TO James says:
::In transporter room one getting the EVA suits ready for the away team.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looking through the scans and energy traces left behind by a weapon.::  CO:  Whoever did this, it occurred about three days ago.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Waits for the others to enter the lift then orders it to transporter room one.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Walks over to the science console to look at the data:: SO: That recently? Any organics on sensors to indicate victims?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Taps a few commands::  CO:  Yes.  I am reading possibly fifteen bodies.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Steps out of the lift when it comes to a stop, leading the others to the transporter room.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Stop walking around Engineering and taps his badge:: *MO*: Baro here. To see if I'm busy you say? Pretty much busy at the moment. Or does that refer to something else?
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Exits following Heller::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns:: SO: What was the crew complement of the station?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Smiles::  *CEO*:  Engineers are always busy.  Are you too busy for your physical?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Taps away at his console:: CO: No evidence of anyone jamming or otherwise blocking communications... Whoever did this must have known where to find the distress beacons and how to take them out of action...
SO Lt Rose says:
::Pulls up the file::  CO: Seventeen.
CEO Ens Baro says:
*MO*: I don't really like physicals, doctor. But then again, they are required, aren't they?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks over at Pandora:: OPS: Like they had schematics of the station and knew where to hit?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: That's what it looks like, yes...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Follows the rest of the AT on their way to the TR:: CSO: This isn't your first away team, is it Ensign? 
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Finishes zipping the EVA suit, keeping the helmet in her hand. Then grabs a phaser rifle along with her tricorder::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Considers something:: CSO: In your current lifetime, that is. ::Hits his badge:: *CO*: Understood. ::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: Did we get anyone from medical, Commander?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Reaches up and taps his commbadge:: *XO/CTO*: Varesh to Maor and Heller. Gentlemen, there might be survivors. Scans indicate possibly fifteen victims, the station complement was seventeen.
CSO Ens Ix says:
XO: Not at all Commander. ::Steps onto the padd::
MO Lt Storm says:
*CEO*:  Yes... and I promise to be quick.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks up at the screen again:: OPS: I was afraid of that. ::Does a count:: Commander, is it my imagination or is one of the shuttles missing?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Enters the transporter room moving toward James grabbing an EVA suit.:: XO:  No commander didn't seem needed at the time will contact them now and have someone join us.
CEO Ens Baro says:
*MO*: I'm on my way, doctor.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Puts an engineer in charge and heads for sickbay::
CSO Ens Ix says:
XO: If it reassures you, I almost died on an away team in the Kraken. ::Smiles::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Taps his commbadge.:: *Medical*:  We need a doctor to join us on an away mission, possible injured on the science station, we are gearing up in transporter room one.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CTO*:  Understood.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: You're right captain, one appears to be missing. Perhaps the two missing crewmembers made it out in time... ::Doesn't really believe that a likely scenario, what with the other evidence::
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Brianna, scan local space for anything indicating that the shuttle got away.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Pulls up the duty roster::  *MO Rodier*:  You are on away mission duty.  Possible survivors.  They are waiting in transporter room one.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods::
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Arrives at sickbay::
MO Rodier says:
::Going through inventory he looks up at the call and smiles.::  *MO Storm*:  Yes, ma'am, on my way.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Finishes putting on the EVA suit and moves to the equipment locker to grab a tricorder and a rifle.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CSO: Brilliant. Whatever you do, stay with the CTO. ::Leans back against the TR chief's console:: We wouldn't want to have a repeat performance on the Seleya too.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Looks over the doors opening::  CEO:  Please, join me.
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: One can hope. Run a scan as far and wide as you can for transponder signals or anything that could show us where they went.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Nods to the doctor::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods and starts tapping to initiate the scan::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Captain, it is difficult to tell.  There are energy signatures of the shuttle all over the area.  They were most likely used for mapping as well as gathering artifacts.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Grins and puts on her helmet::
MO Rodier says:
::Grabbing one of the standard away mission packs from the locker, he flies from the storage room, out the door with a wave and into the lift.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Goes back to his chair, sighing as he sits:: SO: I was afraid of that. Nothing heading out-system? Or would they try and hide among the asteroids?
MO Rodier says:
::Slightly out of breath, more from excitement, he slides through the doors into the transporter room to see someone holding an EVA suit out for him.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Motions for him to take a seat.::  CEO:  I am new aboard.  I am doctor Sky.  Please... ::Motions to a chair.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Too many variables and unknowns. I don't like it. ::Grabs two phaser rifles and hands one to the CSO:: CSO: Do you know how to use it?
MO Rodier says:
::Letting them put it on him and doing a quick check to make sure all was good, he looks at the team he is going with.  A pat on the back tells him he is good to go and he does just that, almost runing for the padd.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It is hard to tell.
CEO Ens Baro says:
MO: Welcome aboard doctor. Ensign Baro, but you already knew that. ::Smiles and then sits down::
CSO Ens Ix says:
::Shows him the one she had already taken and speaks through the EVA suit's radio:: XO: Yes I do. Don't fret, Commander. I won't die on you.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Checks the settings on his rifle and moves to the padd.::  XO:  I don't like it either, seems most of our missions these days have too many unknowns.  ::Waits for the others to join him on the padd.::
MO Lt Storm says:
CEO:  Yes... and I also noted you were once the ships councilor.  That is a big jump is it not?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::smiles:: SO: It was sort of rhetorical.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and returns the phaser back to the locker:: CTO: Wait until you'll hear the entire story. ::Steps onto one of the pads::
CEO Ens Baro says:
MO: It most certainly is yes, but then again, so is being a single counselor in space compared to a bunch of them on earth.
CSO Ens Ix says:
::stands in the padd, waiting for the familiar feeling of the transporter beam::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances over at the XO not sure if he liked the sound of that before turning back to the chief.::  TC:  Energize.
MO Lt Storm says:
CEO:  May I indulge my curiosity and ask why you shifted gears?

@ACTION: As the beam releases the away team in the equivalent of the headquarters of the base, it is obvious a battle was waged here... and lost.
