Last time on the Seleya:

Mapping the warp trails, there are too many crisscrossing the area to do a simple map given this team has been working here many years.  However, of the more recent trails, there has not only been an increase in activity, but also increasing in areas heading outward into the system; away from the sun.

The XO has located a padd in quarters where obviously a fight had incurred.  On it was a message meant for Starfleet eyes only and as such had been not only encrypted, but set with a special signal only Starfleet equipment would have been able to pick-up.

The CTO and CSO have downloaded what they can from the data bank.  Most of the scientific data had been removed or destroyed leaving only some of the crew logs.  Checking the scientist who lived in the quarters where the message was found, Tyson Hemington, he was a retired starfleet officer now strictly working as a scientist on special projects.  Passionate about his work, there was signs of worry entering is logs.  This seems to be similar to many of the staff.  The time frame coincides with the stolen Starfleet files on this project.

The computer quickly decrypts the message.  It revealed the terrified face of the elderly Hemington.  He kept looking over his shoulder.  "We do not know who they are, but they

are demanding the location of Bellerophon.  Upon our honor, we will tell them nothing.  Search for Ares."  The sound of angry voices could be heard in the background just before the screen goes blank.

While the captain does research on the names mentioned, the ship beams aboard the bodies of the dead that are placed into storage.  And the MO completes her yearly physical of the CEO.

Captain's log: The station's personnel left a mysterious message regarding Bellerophon that we must search for Ares. I'm not sure what the ancient Earth deity of war and a hero has to do with it. We'll have the computer work on the associations and hopefully something comes up.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11312.08. We're still on the station looking for clues as to the location of the artifacts and as to what happened to all the bodies around us. Hopefully the recovered PADD we found will provide us with more answers.

<<<<<<<<< Revenge III >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
:: On the bridge, working on completing the map of ion trails left behind by shuttles.::
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::squints staring at the transcripts from the log:: CTO: What are ancient human deities doing here? ::looks up:: CTO: Was Earth visited by aliens in ancient Greece?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Looks up from the console he was reading.::  CSO:  Not that I'm aware of but stranger things have happened.
TO Taliesin says:
::At the tactical station on the bridge keeping a close watch on the sensors.::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: In the morgue, doing autopsies, the second part of medical she hated.  The first being the loss of a patient and the last being telling loved ones.::
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::scratches her head:: CTO: It could also be something else. This system is remarkably similar to Sol, aside from the fact that an asteroid belt lies where Earth would be. And you guys named your planets after gods ... so ...
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::gets up from the Chair:: Computer: Reference the names Bellerophon and Ares. Draw correlations between them and display information on my console.
Computer says:
 CO:  Acknowledged.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::sits down again to read::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: How are we doing regarding the tagging of the dead bodies?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::frowns and scrolls down a bit::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Commander, lend me your brain a bit, please? ::gets up and walks down to OPS::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks up from his console at the CO's request:: CO: Uh, of course captain...
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances up glancing over at Ix.::  CSO:  Perhaps, Ares was the Greek god of war, if i remember correctly Mars was the roman god of war.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@  :: looks up, his face a bit green:: XO:  I am almost done.  These are the last ones.  I am almost finished with the recordings.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: The message said the attackers were searching for Bellerophon and we need to find Ares. Why would they be looking for the slayer of monsters and Hemington tell us to find the god of war. I'm sorry, I'm thinking aloud here, feel free to throw your two pieces of latinum in there.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::smiles nodding:: CTO: Indeed. So, we should take a look at the fourth planet. Which is probably the current third planet, the one beyond the asteroid belt.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Returns the smile.:: CSO:  Seems a good place to begin at least, unless Commander Maor found another lead.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*:  Vare... Ummm... Captain, I have a preliminary report which basically supports what the away team has mentioned.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::nods:: CTO: I will wrap up here. ::looks down at her tricorder finishing the download of the station's datacore::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::answers distractedly, not catching the almost-slip:: *MO*: So they were slaughtered without mercy and tortured?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CSO:  Good there may be something else in the logs.  ::Taps his commbadge.:: *XO*:  Heller to Maor.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::nods distractedly as she runs preliminary searches for keywords::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Hits his badge:: *CTO*: Go ahead, Commander.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Scratches his head:: CO: A good question... My ancient Greek history is quiet rusty, what knowledge I have of it at all. Though both are names coming from there. What correlation is the computer giving you there?
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*:  That was pretty much it.  Some were more brutally terrorized then others.  Those that died early were the lucky ones.  I am waiting for the last few, but two people still remain unaccounted for.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  We are wrapping up here commander, not much to be found in the core mostly just the teams logs.  The CSO and I had a thought on where to look from here based off the message Hemington left us.  It might be worth it to check out the fourth planet of this system.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@CTO: I think I have everything we can learn from here. I will need my team for further research.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Other than both are mentioned in the Iliad they never really crossed paths. I'm thinking in this instance Ares is the "monster" or some weapon and Bellerophon the means to stop it.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Understood. We're almost done here as well, we'll be sending additional medical teams to tag the rest of the bodies. We'll rendezvous where we started in five.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
*MO*: Thank you doctor. The two missing persons are presumed to have escaped in one of the shuttles.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  Understood.  ::Glances over at Ix::  CSO:  Well lets get back to our beam in site, you and your team can review the information once we get back to the ship, also please send a copy of all the logs to my office once we get back onboard.  
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::doubles checks something:: CTO: The logs have been tampered with. Judging by the way it was done, I would say it was the scientists themselves who did it.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*:  For their sake, I hope so.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*: Storm out.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: Maor to Varesh.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::as a a reply to the cut comm:: Self: So do I. ::pulls himself together:: *XO*: Varesh here, go ahead.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  Understood.  ::Glances over at Ix::  CSO:  Well lets get back to our beam in site, you and your team can review the information once we get back to the ship, also please send a copy of all the logs to my office once we get back onboard.  
SO Lt Rose says:
:: As the computer finishes, she leans closer and begins to highlight the most recent trails.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CSO:  Tampered with? How so?
CSO Ens Ix says:
@CTO: I am not sure, it is like they were censored and key parts, even whole logs deleted.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: We're done here, Captain. The CTO's team might have a promising lead that's worth investigating. We'll be beaming back in five with our full report. ::Motions for the MO to follow him back to the starting point::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CSO:  Anyway to retrieve the data?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::walks distractedly towards the science console, leaning over it from the viewscreen side, raising an eyebrow at Rose in question at the shuttle paths:: *XO*: I look forward to the reports. Let's hope the CTO's team's findings can cast some light on the subject.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: stands after putting the parts of the worst victim together::  XO:  That is it sir.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@CTO: This was quite well done. They took extra precautions to hide something.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CSO:  Too much to hope it'd be that easy I suppose.  We should get back and we'll decide where to go from there.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@CTO: I can't do it here with this equipment but we have a copy of the whole datacore. One of the ship's computer scientists might be able to do it.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::nods::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Sounds plausible... Or Bellerophon may be contracted by Ares against a third, yet unknown person, or thing...
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks up::  CO:  OK... as mentioned earlier, it is obvious that a couple of weeks ago, which fits the time line of the stolen files, there was a shift in shuttle traffic location.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::glances over towards Pandora:: OPS: Interesting deduction. Hold that thought, I want to see if we have a direction to go looking. ::motions to Brianna to continue::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Pulls up the name of the next body to correlate name and who they were to it.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods, listening to Rose::
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::wraps things up:: CTO: I am ready for transport, Commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Arrives at the meeting point, he waits for the CTO's team::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: It is hard to tell for certain given the amount of time, but it looks like the last shuttle signatures heads in this area here.  :: points::  It is possible one of them is our missing shuttle.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CSO:  Good lets get going.  ::Leads the CSO back to their beam in point.::
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::follows::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::smiles:: SO: Good work, Brianna. One last thing. Are any of those the attackers' ion trail?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  If I do an overlay of the system, they appear to be near the third planet in this system.  Well, what is now the third, and was once the fourth.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Walks down the corridor rounding a corner spotting the XO ahead of him.:: XO:  Commander.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Points::  CO:  It is possible this one is.  It is a federation signature, but it is stronger then the others.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Send the co-ordinates to the helm. We'll leave as soon as the away team is on board.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Nods at the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Found anything interesting?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods and tapping a few keys, sends the map to helm.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::walks back to Pandora:: OPS: Back to your idea. You think that perhaps Ares and Bellerophon could be combined?
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::approaches the two commanders and stands silently, with her face buried in her tricorder::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@  :: As he stands waiting for the others, debates on whether he ever wants to go on another away mission again.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: It's just a random thought, but I think it could make sense. From what I understand, the slayer of monsters and the god of war could well work together to fight a common enemy, or otherwise, the slayer could be fighting for the god of war in a personal feud...
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  Just a possible lead though it may be a stretch.  With this systems similarity to the Sol System we think Ares may be a reference to the Greek god of war.  ::Pauses realizing how thin it sounds but not much else to go on.::  Mars is the Roman god of war so it may have been a reference to the fourth planet.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: looks at the face of Hemington::  Not a way to end ones career. How sad.  At least you died doing what you loved.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Worth checking out, I suppose. Anything else?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: I didn't think of that. It is definitely a possibility. Could the one lead to the other?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances at the CSO::  XO:  A number of the logs have been tampered with and even deleted.  It looks like it was done by the scientist themselves.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Perhaps.. Or I may be completely off with my hypothesis. We'd have to test it to see if it works.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Nods slowly:: CTO: Were you able to recover any of them?
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Doing the preliminary scan, she sighs.  They were extra cruel on this man.  Whoever they were, they had torture down to an art.::
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::feels being looked at and glances up:: XO: Yes, it looks like they had something to hide ... from someone. Perhaps the attackers.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  Not here with this equipment though it might be possible to retrieve something on the Seleya, we have full copy of the databases.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: We're guessing here at the moment, so it is a as plausible as my hypothesis. ::pauses a moment:: While I'm thinking about it, is there a way to send a coded message to the missing shuttle through the subspace network? Or do we need a location for them?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CSO: I see. Were you able to recover any of the deleted files? ::Pauses as the CTO answers the question:: CTO: I'll be handling those files personally once we return. ::Turns to the direction of the CSO:: CSO: You are under no circumstances  to look into those files without permission from the Captain, the Commander or myself. ::Taps his badge:: *OPS*: We're ready to beam up, 
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: If we send it out, we risk it being intercepted. Even if coded, it would alert the attackers that someone is searching. And considering what we have already seen them capable of, I'd wager they could break the code...
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: Now, if we knew the general area, we could focus our communication arrays to send the message along a narrow cone, then it would be significantly more difficult to intercept...
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::sighs:: OPS: It was a thought, not necessarily a good one though. Good point, thanks.
CSO Ens Ix says:
@::starts to frown, but then realization comes to her. It is not only the scientists who are hiding. For a moment she struggles with herself. The scientist wants the information, The Starfleet officer knows she does not need to know. Finally:: XO: Yes sir.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Frowns as she reads the data.::  Hmmm... ::pauses the scanner and takes the information to put in a 3D format to look more closely at it.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: And then we also need to be prepared for the fact that the attackers may be listening in on communications anyway...
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::perks up:: OPS: We have a possible location. Get it from the helm and send a coded message in that area like your described. Let's see if we get a reply.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Anything specific you want me to send?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: listening, begins to do a more detailed scan of the area in question, refining and focusing the sensor padds, not touching the one used for tactical.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: That we're here and are looking for them. For them to come in if possible.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Taps her commbadge.:: *CO*:  One of the scientists seems to have ingested something.  I will need to remove it to tell you what.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Think he didn't hear us?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::nods to Pandora to continue his work and turns to go back to his chair:: *MO*: Swallowed something? That is a desperate move. How long will it take you to get out?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO: It appears so.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*XO:* Apologies for the delay commander, energizing now... ::Taps the transporter commands and initiates transport::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Remind me to assign him extra duties scrubbing the plasmas inlays.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*: Give me a few minutes.  I will contact you when I have it.
 
ACTION: The away team is beamed back to the ship.

CSO Ens Ix says:
::blinks and materializes in the transporter room::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::After the transport officially registers as complete, he sends the requested message towards the target area as listed on the map::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
*MO*: I'll join you down there. ::gets up:: OPS: You have the bridge, Commander. ::heads for the TL:: *XO*: Commander, meet me in sickbay.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods at the CO again, but remains at his station to wait and see if anyone responds to their attempt at contacting the shuttle crew::
MO Ens Rodier says:
 :: glad to be back on the ship, he takes the data and heads back to medical, with many a tale to pass along.  Only to be stopped by one of the personal to help him out of his eva suit..::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::enters the lift:: TL: Sickbay.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Steps down off of the transporter padd, moving to the side to pull off his EVA.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: On my way. ::Starts taking off his EVA suit::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: making sure the recording devices are in place, she takes up an exoscalpel and begins an incision near his abdomen::
CSO Ens Ix says:
:removes her EVA suit:: XO: What are my orders, Commander?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::remembers something:: *OPS*: Have the helm take us to the coordinates that Lt Rose forwarded.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CSO: Report to the bridge and return to your duties for now.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: to herself:: Hmmm...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Makes his way outside the TR and toward the direction of the nearest TL::
CSO Ens Ix says:
::ponders asking what those are, but then decides against it and makes her way to the bridge::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Reaching in with her gloved hand, she takes out the stomach and lays it on a table behind her.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Finished getting out of his EVA and decides to head for the bridge, catching up with the CSO as she enters the lift.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Turns to the helmsman to get the ship moving:: *CO*: We're on our way, captain.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::exits the TL, walks the short distance to sickbay and enters the room just as Storm completes the extraction, he stops short, looking at her:: MO: Storm? You're here?
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Placed in a bowl to catch any liquids, she makes another incision to open the stomach.  With some clamps she reaches in to carefully move the device, pausing to look up at the familiar voice.:: CO: Yes... where did you think I would be.  :: finishes removing it and placing it in another bowl.::
 
ACTION: The ship leaves orbit from around the station and heads toward were the heaviest and most recent trails have gone to.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::keeps looking at his sister:: *OPS*: Thank you, Commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the sickbay, he pauses in mid step:: CO: This can't be what I think it is, right?
