Last time on Seleya:

The crew hit a roadblock in regards to their prisoner when he ingested poison and turned mostly brain-dead.  The command staff met to discuss their options and a mind meld was suggested to try and extract some needed info that would allow commander Maor to take on the role of the informant.

Hopefully by using this ruse he will be able to infiltrate the pirate base and gather some much needed intel as well as possible sabotage.  The crew is busy at work trying to get the ruse ready and believable.

Captain's Log 11409.07: We're preparing the shuttle and Commander Maor's disguise for his infiltration mission. I really don't like sending him in alone, but it appears we have no choice.

<<<<<<<<< The Hunt IX >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Sits brooding in his seat on the bridge::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::In the main shuttle bay, phaser rifle in hand carefully firing on the shuttle they had selected for Maor to use.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::At the tactical station on the bridge doing detailed scans of the area ahead of them heading towards Tankards base.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Enters the bridge and pauses as she glances at Varesh.  As it all seems quiet, she walks over to him.::  CO:  You do not look to happy.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Sighs:: SO: I'm sending Maor in without backup. There isn't much to be happy about.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances over at Pandora::  OPS:  Can we hide an emergency transponder on Maor, maybe sub dermal?  Anything to at least give him the ability to request backup?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles slightly:: CTO: Great minds think alike, huh? I was going to say the same thing.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  You have not worked with him as long as I have.  Trust him.  That man has more aces up his sleeves then is in a deck of card and they are aces from different cultures too.  You would be surprised how many cultures have a game similar to poker.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Releases the trigger and checks his work, a nice long phaser scar along the starboard side of the shuttle, smiling he moves around to the rear of the shuttle.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Thinks before answering:: CTO/CO: I suppose that would be possible... But then I am not a doctor. But yes, technically, that would be possible. We'd have to have the shuttle act as a relay station though, as anything we put on Maor won't be able to transmit such long distances on its own...
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: I'll have to take your word for it and I trust him to be sneaky, that much I've seen.
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: Work on that, I'll ask Dr Storm to do the rest. It will have to form part of the disguise.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Knowing Varesh would still worry, she simply nodded her head and lightly touched him supportingly on the shoulder before heading over toward science.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: I'll need to program the shuttle's communications system...
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Absently pats the hand on his shoulder while listening to Pandora:: OPS: See to it then, please?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I've also have a program setup to simulate some systems failures here aboard the Seleya, in case they have any vessels close enough to watch when Maor departs.  I'll fire on the shuttle as well but sensors will show as offline so won't be able to target well.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns slightly::  CO:  Whatever you do, keep in mind, they may not trust Maor and will check into everything... ::Shrugs::  or they will trust him and nothing to worry about.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets up and walks over to tactical:: CTO: That sounds good, make sure it's believable. Where would we be once he's inside?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks over towards science:: SO: Which is why the implant won't be active unless he needs it. We have to assume they will scan him, or something like that
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  There is a small cluster of asteroids not too far from the base's location.  They will know we are there, I'm guessing they've been tracking us on long-range sensors since I started picking up some info on their area of control.  I have been picking up a number of fighters and small attack vessels in the area.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods::  CO:  I wish I could offer you some suggestions, but other than the wacky idea we our following, :: Humor lights her eyes::  I have nothing.  Which might be a good thing.  ::She smiles wryly::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Just smiles at Bri's comment:: CTO: Will we be OK in there? Or should we expect them to attack?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Tapping his console, he gets access to the shuttle's computer systems and dives into the communications systems::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shrugs::  CO:  I believe it should be far enough away that they won't want to venture that far out though it will take us longer to respond if we get an emergency call from Maor, it might be worth considering calling in the Kratos for backup, we might be able to move in closer without fear of them attacking.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Would they believe his disguise more if we hang around and bring in back-up?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Possibly, especially if we can make it look like we are waiting to fix repairs from sabotage.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Sets the communications systems to forward signals from a specific frequency to the Seleya one a different frequency::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  They should be able to rendezvous with us in a couple hours if they push it, they'll be picked up on sensors long before then, so they'll know we are being reinforced.  Perhaps have them start moving as soon as Maor escapes?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: CTO: That will fit the scenario, can't have them arrive before he escapes.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods:: CO:  We'll have them leave a sensor buoy where they are to alert of if Tankard sends another group back in search of that weapon.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Once done, he sends the receiving frequency to medical so they can program the subdermal beacon correctly::
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Very well. ::Goes back to his chair, settling down and pulling up the sensor data::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::As a last step, programs an immediate alert when Seleya's communications systems pick up a signal on the programmed relay frequency::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Finishes with his handy work, hey managed to weld the main shuttle door shut to help sell the ruse and they had already been inside damaging some of the internal console to look like they overloaded.  Moving to the locker he stores his rifle and taps his commbadge.::  *CTO*:  Hey chief its Tal, shuttle is prepped and ready.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*TO*:  Acknowledged, good work Tal.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Shuttle is ready and prepped for launch, now just waiting for medical to finish up with Maor's disguise.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks up from the report he was reading:: CTO: That's great. I'll let them know we're ready with everything else.
MO Lt Storm says:
*CO*:  Captain, Commander Maor should be ready shortly.  I have finished my part.  He just left to change clothes.
CO Capt Varesh says:
*MO*: That's great. I'll let him know everything else is ready.
Eldad (~Locutus  @odn-607B6FD1.bb.netvision.net.il) has joined the conversation.
CO Capt Varesh says:
*XO*: We're ready with the shuttle and your escape is choreographed. Commander Heller will give you the details.
CO Capt Varesh says:
*XO*: And Commander. Be careful please?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain. I'm making my way there. ::Rolls his eyes at the Captain's last comment:: I'll try.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Puts some finishing touches on his program and prepares to initiate.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
*XO*: That is all I ask. I would hate to train myself a new XO.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: I'm sure you'll manage, Captain. ::Enters the TL:: TL: Shuttlebay.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Anorts:: *XO*: Indeed. See you on the flipside. Varesh out.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Exits the TL, he heads toward the direction of the shuttle:: *CTO*: Maor to Heller.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Varesh with a wry smile::  CO:  He can do it.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*:  Heller here commander.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: I understand you have information for me, Commander?
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: I know, but it doesn't stop me from worrying,
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Of course not.  But later, I get to tell you I told you so.  ::smiles::
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: And I will gladly hear those words.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*:  Yes sir, we have simulated some damage on the shuttle to show possible fire taken both from security personnel on the Seleya as well as the Seleya itself.  But we will also put on a bit of a show for any who might be watching.  I have a program set up that will make it look like we were sabotaged.  Targeting sensors will be down, warp core offline etc.  We'll take a few shots at you as you leave but without targeting sensors will only get a lucky shot in or two, shake you around a bit but no major damage.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: Understood. I'll be going to communication silence once I depart.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*:  Understood, the Kratos will be joining us shortly after you depart and you have your emergency transponder so if you need us we will be there as quickly as we can.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the shuttle, he begins preparation for departure::
