Last time on the Seleya:

The divided teams both did recon of their respective villages.  Each found very different situations.  And each has decided to approach the villages differently.

The captain's team has decided to meet up front with this group.  As they approach the village, a group of men have come out to meet them.  In their hands they hold something, though what is not known.  The CTO positions himself to defend the captain and doctor if needed.

The XO has created a diversion that would pull the villagers out to protect their livestock.  At the scent and sounds of a predator nearby, many of the grazing animals start to panic.  The herders sound the bell of alarm and many men are seen rushing from huts with spears in hand.

Captain's Log 11404.13: After circling the village, I decided that a direct approach will be better than skulking around.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11404.13: Having taken the Captain's plan into account, my team will be attempting to create a diversion in order to infiltrate the village undetected.

<<<<<<<<< Regrets VIII >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Ponders going for a classic greeting like "Take me to your leader," or "We come in peace."::
MO Lt Storm says:
::As they stop she quietly waits.::

@ACTION:  Some of the large wolf like creates can be seen approaching the outskirts of the town as more villagers rush out at the sound of the alarm to help protect their flocks.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands silently next to the CO watching the men carefully.::

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Slowly approaches the village, working hard to remain undetected::
TO Lt James says:
@::Carefully follows the XO, her eyes swiveling back and forth constantly looking for any threats.::
Vdon says:
::Stops and looks at those before him.  They were not like the others.  A look of hope touches wary eyes.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Takes a step forward, his hands empty, hoping it’s the right cultural move to appear friendly:: Vdon: Greetings.
Vdon says:
::Takes a slight step from the rest of the group.:: CO:  I am Vdon of the Primary Village.  These are various elders.  You are not from this planet.  Who are you?

@ACTION:  The XO and TO move through a village almost completely void of people now.  The only ones remaining are woman and children who stay within the confines of their homes peering out occasionally.

CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: I am Captain Varesh and these are two of my officers. And you are right, we are not of this planet.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Can you pinpoint the location of the survivor we detected?
Vdon says:
::Takes another step forward, his whole body almost leaning forward::  CO:  Where are you from?
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: A world that is much farther away than I would like to think of. We entered your system near the station that is still in orbit.
TO Lt James says:
@XO:  He was over by that old shuttle.  ::Glances down at her tricorder trying to make sense of the jumbles readings, frowning.::  He now seems to be moving  ::Points out toward where the flocks are kept.::  Out that way with the other villagers.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: With them? ::Scoffs.:: Figures. ::Glances around:: Let's use the diversion to see if we can separate him from the rest of the group. ::Moves toward the general direction the TO pointed to.::
Vdon says:
::Quietly but with a bit of surprise::  The station... CO:  So it is still there?  I would have thought... :: more to himself::  No, they kept their promise.  :: Looks at the other two and then towards the elders around him and back::  I do not recognize your species.  What group are you from?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods::  XO:  Yes sir.  ::Follows after the XO keeping a watch on her tricorder to track any changes in the mans location.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: They? ::Looks a little puzzled:: I am Betazoid, so is my medical officer ::Nods at Storm:: and our companion is human. And what do you mean by what group?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Nods a greeting back as she watches and listens curiously::

@ACTION:  As the XO and TO approach the outer area of the village the volume increases greatly, the sounds of men shouting, wolves' growls and the panicked sounds of the flock piercing the night.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Can you detect him? ::Hides behind the bushes, off-wind::

Vdon says:
::Turns to look at the others looking for permission to proceed.  Getting a majority he turns to look back at the others.::  CO:  We are the last of the Zemians.  Our world was destroyed by the Osonirian's.  ::At a hiss behind him he added::  By a group of rebels from their world.  You are not Zemian and you are not Osonirian.
Vdon says:
CO:  We know there were other worlds beyond ours that had made or were close to space flight.  But I do not recognize the species names you have given me.  ::Pauses.  Quietly::  Are you of this universe?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Crouches near the XO checking her tricorder.::  XO:  It’s hard to get an exact position but I believe he's with the group off to the right there.  ::Points to a group barely visible in the gloom about 100 yards off.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Looks toward her brother.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Takes a moment to process the information:: Vdon: We are not from this universe. The world that was destroyed was not either?
Vdon says:
::Looks confused::  CO:  Not either?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands silently listening to exchange between the Captain and Vdon.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: Where is your world that was destroyed? We entered this universe near a planet that was destroyed.
Vdon says:
CO: That was most likely our world that was destroyed.  The Osonirian's brought those of us who lived on their world with them when they came through the tear.  We did not have much time to do anything else but choose that route.  Their world was being destroyed by the actions of the rebels... something the rebels did not think through.
Vdon says:
::Steps closer, his voice intense.::  CO:  Take us back... Will you take us back.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: We have to assume he'll be an hostile hostage until proven otherwise, meaning we have to sedate him once we separate him. ::Removes his medical kit, he switches to a sedative before securing the hypo back at its holster:: I think I might see an opening. You stay here, I'll try to draw him to you, once he's in range and alone. Do it. ::Hands him the hypo::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Takes the hypo.:: XO:  Understood commander.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns:: Vdon: Where would you go if I could take you with me? How many of you are there?
Ty Wilson says:
@::Grips a spear shaft tightly not really comfortable with the weapon as he peers into the darkness nervously.
Vdon says:
CO:  There were colony worlds.  Perhaps you could take us to them... ::Motions with his hand::  What you see is the last of my people.  This universe has slowly, relentlessly been killing us.
MO Lt Storm says:
Vdon: What about the other village?  ::Points back the way they had come.::
Ty Wilson says:
@::Hangs back near the rear of the group not wanting to get in the others way, his leg still hurting from the crash.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Moves forward, still keeping himself off-wind while using every skill he ever possessed to make sure he's still undetected:: Self: Great. A scientist. ::Clears his throat quietly, he releases a low cry in an attempt to imitate the sound of the wolves, hopefully quiet enough to only reach the Starfleet officer::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods at Storm's question, since he was heading towards that question:: MO: How many are there?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Keeps the sound low key enough to make it as low threat as possible as to not spook him::
Vdon says:
::Looks at the female.  A slight look of disgust quickly passes his face.::  MO:  They are no longer Zemians.  They chose to mate with this worlds inhabitants.
Ty Wilson says:
@::Jerks around as he hears something behind him, he peers intently into the darkness trying to spot anything.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Quietly::  CO:  According to this tricorder, there are one hundred and sixty-six of them.  If this is it... not many left.  Well... purebreds.  Which by the way might answer some of our questions on the differences.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: MO Work out how many trips we would have to make using half the ship's complement of shuttles.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Looks at her brother with a lifted brow.::  CO:  How many shuttles do we have and how many people can they take?
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: Are the inhabitants of the other village all... native?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Glances around, he's not going to buy it. He moves to flank him.::
Vdon says:
::Frowns as he considers the question::  CO:  They are hybrids.
Ty Wilson says:
@::Takes a cautious step toward where he heard the sound, his spear held up in that direction.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: Thirty six passengers on each trip.
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: I understand. One of our scientists is in the other village, so I will have to find out what happened to him.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Takes a final breath, he moves quietly from behind the officer and quickly disarms him from his spear. He blocks his mouth with his hand soon after and pulls him toward the direction of the TO.::
Ty Wilson says:
@::Tries to scream as something comes up behind him but can't get much sound through the hand covering his mouth he trashes wildly trying to escape.  Not knowing who had him.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@Officer: Quiet down, we're From Starfleet. ::Continues to block his mouth, he finally reaches the TO, he signals him to wait with the sedative until he hears the response::
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  That would then be 5 trips.  Keeping in mind we have at least one pirate ship in the vicinity.
Vdon says:
::His voice full of hope, unable to help it.  So many legends so many dreams within his grasp::  CO:  Then you will take us?
TO Lt James says:
@::Sees the XO approach with someone in tow she moves out hypo ready but stops at the XOs signal.::
Ty Wilson says:
@::Takes a moment for the words to sink in then stops trashing glancing around him trying to get a view of who held him.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: I haven't forgotten that. And if we use all the shuttles? Including the type 9s? That's 66 per trip.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@Officer: I'm going to remove my hand in a few seconds, attempt to scream and you will get sedated. ::Gestures at the direction of the TO:: Understood?
TO Lt James says:
@::Nods to the XO.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
Vdon: I will have to work out the logistics and consult with my officer that is in the other village.
Ty Wilson says:
@::Tries to nod his agreement but can't move his head in the commanders grip.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Eases his grip:: Officer: What is your status? Are you being held against your wishes?
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  It will take three trips... the second trip needing only half the shuttles.  And that is taking the people only.  Nothing else.
Vdon says:
::Nods, becoming nervous... not wanting to give up this opportunity.::
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  You are going to need engineering to do some alterations or we risk shuttles crashing.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: Vdon: We might be able to bring some belongings, but within limits. ::Looks at Storm and Heller:: If you will excuse us for a moment, I just need to discuss some logistics with my officers.
Ty Wilson says:
@::Shakes his head.::  XO:  No sir, these people found me after my shuttle crashed.  ::Takes a breath trying to steady his nerves.::  They helped me with my injuries, even helped me bury Emma.  ::Breath catches slightly at the mention of his close friend.::
Ty Wilson says:
@::Clears his voice.::  XO:  Since then they've taken me in, helped tend my wounds, feed and house me.  I wasn't sure if I'd ever get out of here.
Vdon says:
CO:  Of course... of course.  ::Turns back to the other elders to discuss the situation.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Turns to follow Varesh.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Turns and walks a short distance away, his hand reaching for his commbadge:: XO: Varesh to Maor.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@Officer: What about the equipment?  Did you give them any insight to any Starfleet technologies?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::While he waits for a response, he hits his badge:: *CO*: Maor here.

Action:  An argument breaks out that is quickly hushed.
