Last time on the Seleya:

On the Yacht, the computer as translated the various messages picked up which contain requests for docking and reports on the planet below: At least half of the AnDovian's have been captured and are on the transport while the others are in hiding or fighting a gorilla style warfare.  There was also some discussion on destroying the rest of them and taking those they already have.

Not long after a message came through from the planet on a Federation signal.  It was the Personal Journal entry of the federation's vice-president's daughter - Salette Bruillard.

The XO is helping the SO create the ability to communicate between ships... to interface with the ship they were docked with to sensors, try to mask the data stream as a low frequency data stream and possibly be able to use the alien ships sensors against them to pinpoint the origin of Bruillard's daughter.

On the planet the people continue to try to survive, realizing they are outgunned but also determined to stay free.  Unfortunately, the vice-president's daughter has currently lost her freedom.

A few minutes have passed...

Captain's Log 11412.14: The away team found the vice president's daughter, but seems it's been taken away. The AnDovians are not doing too well either...

<<<<<<<<<< No Sanctuary V >>>>>>>>>>

XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: What's our status?
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: What's the status from the planet and the yacht?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks up at the first officer, slightly frustrated as this was not her area.::  XO:  I was going to as you that, sir.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  Difficult to tell for sure at this distance but it appears the yacht has approached one of the ships, might even be docked with it.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
MO: Lieutenant?
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Stops struggling, after all she likes her teeth where they are and these people seem oblivious of the Geneva Convention::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Wonders if he should talk to Maor about the meaning of subtle::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: Any news on our back-up?
Vex says:
#::Spits a bit of blood out of his mouth, the blood finally stopped flowing, he glares down at Bruilllard, almost wanting her to try something.::
Vleret says:
#::Stands at the top of the flooded defile where the vice princess landed, waiting for his men to bring her to him::
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  I really do not trust our sensors, but I think I can tie them in with the ships.  Ours... well, indication is they should be superior.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Catches Vex's glare and holds his gaze, deciding she made the right call and fighting back a smirk. At the same time, she wonders what she finds funny in this wretched situation::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Taps a few buttons, trying to get some info on their backup.::  CO:  Checking now.
Vex says:
#CIV:  Get up.  ::Reaches down and pulls her to her feet, giving her a shove toward where Vleret was standing.::
MO Lt Storm says:
@::Sitting in the chair next to Varesh, she quietly watches...::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Hates sitting on the ship, not knowing what is going on::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Rises awkwardly and bites down an insulting comment as she stumbles forward::
Vleret says:
#::Gives Vex a 'that's enough' look and offers a hand to Salette to steady her:: CIV: Are you injured?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Sitting at his station on the yacht monitoring the cloak as well as the movements of the ships and their shuttles.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Glances at his sister, grimacing at his obvious restlessness::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Looks up at the alien helping her:: Vleret: I'm not exactly sure yet. In any case, am I going to be?
Vex says:
#::Stops himself from glaring at Vleret but leaves Bruillard with him and turns to rejoin his team watching the area around them.::
MO Lt Storm says:
@CO:  Do you have a telepathic connection with any of the away team?  And is it strong enough to keep contact at this distance?
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::This man looks cool and calm where the one who caught her looked and acted angry and irascible. Salette unconsciously relaxes her stance a bit::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  They are at best 12 hours out.
Vleret says:
#CIV: If you cooperate... yes. ::Turns to Vex:: Vex: Have a team deal with the others. Alive if they're smart, otherwise if they're not. Do you want to stay with them?
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: Thank you, Commander.
CO Capt Varesh says:
@MO: I guess I can try and reach Brianna...
MO Lt Storm says:
@::lifts a brow at that, though not too surprised.::
Vex says:
#::Turns back to Vleret, glancing between him and Bruillard.::  Vleret:  I'd like to keep tracking the others, I'm the best tracker in the group and the rain is going to make it tough enough to track them.  As for alive, guess they will decide that.  ::Hopes they resist being taken in, it was always funner that way.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Go ahead with the link, Lieutenant. Maybe we'll get lucky and actually get some usable information beside the location of our VIP.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Nods curtly, so far it's the textbook hostage situation::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@MO: I know her best of the people on the shuttle.
SO Lt Rose says:
::With a nod she taps a few buttons to make the connection; her fingers slightly crossed.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
~~~SO: Bri, I hope you can hear me. An update would be nice if you can.~~~
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Fears for Zellie and the rest if Vex is the one going to head the hunt::
Vleret says:
#Vex: Then see to it. And make it quick. ::Gestures to the other team, gathering them up and ordering them back to the shuttle.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Stop looking so worried, I've double checked every line of code you entered. It all checks out.
Vleret says:
#::Grasps Salette's arm firmly but without aggression:: CIV: Come. And watch your footing. The ground is treacherous. ::Leads back down the gorge::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Suddenly stops and blinks, then looks at Maor::  XO:  Ummm... sir... the captain wants an update.
Vex says:
#::Grins and turns to his team ordering them to spread out and leads the way up the hill following the water where Bruillard came spilling down.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
# Vleret: ::mutters:: You tell me. That's how your men caught me.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Feel free to inform him of our progress, nothing like I have anything to hide. This time ::Mutters::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Glances up at Rose, not having seen any new transmission come in.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Lifts a brow as she catches the muttered words.  Finishes the last bit.::  XO: Done.
Vleret says:
#::Walks along beside her, his greater height lengthening her stride:: CIV: Your apprehension was a foregone conclusions, Ms. Bruillard. ::Looks down at her, gauging her response to his knowing who she is::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Stops breathing for a second, then shakes her head and deals with the bad hand destiny just dealt her:: Vleret: I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, considering I don't know your name.
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~ CO:  We picked up some signals and the computer has interpreted them for us.  The vice-president's daughter is alive and on the planet.  At least half of the civilains on the planet have been taken to the transport and the others are trying to stay free... fighting as they can.  There is talk of just taking the ones they have and...~~~~
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~CO:... and killing the rest.  We are currently tying into the alien ships sensors so we can "high-jax" them.~~~~
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Looks up at the tall alien man whose name she doesn't know but who's clearly in charge::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: Any time frame on this plan of these slavers?~~~
SO Lt Rose says:
::After a few moments.::  XO:  It looks like we are in.  ::Touch of surprise in her voice as she turns to look at him.::
Vleret says:
#::Doesn't answer right away, still considering her response:: CIV: I am High Commandant of the Verity Guard, Chief of Swords and Shields Ha'Vleret, Fourth son of Ha'Shan of the Golden Houses. 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Don't look so shocked, I wouldn't have invited you on this mission if I didn't have faith in you.
Vex says:
#::Trudges up the hill following the stream and looking for any signs of the group the girl had been with.::
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~ CO:  I am not so certain we are dealing with slavers.  There are some incongruities here.  However, nothing we picked up would give any indication.~~~~
SO Lt Rose says:
::Relaxes a bit with a slight smile.::  XO:  Anything specific you want first?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
XO: Focus on the VIP first, see if you can locate her.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Whistles mentally at the sheer amount of titles. What are the chances he married into the first couple of them? Steals a sideways glance and decides she won't be that lucky::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: Ok, I'll let you get back to the task at hand. This is a raid of some sort, we just need to know what kind.~~~
Vleret says:
#::Quickens his pace slightly as he hears the whine of the shuttle's engines as they approach, eager to get off of this wretched planet::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#Vleret: I might have been pleased to make your acquaintance in a more... social setting. ::Pauses for a second before continuing:: How do you expect me to address you?
Vex says:
#::Comes to the place where Salette fell and spots the path of the other moving off farther up the hill, signaling his team the alter their course and quicken their pace.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Talking more for her benefit as she works:: XO: They may not know what the signal was or can interpret it... kind of depends if they know who she even is... but with our knowledge and equipment...  ::Taps a few buttons.::  Got her... at least the general area.  Our sensors are better than theirs, but we are limited using theirs.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Feels despair as they rush towards what sounds like a transport, she knows she has little hope on the planet and even less out of it::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: SO: Inform the Captain. Ask him if he wants us to approach the planet and go after her.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  Captain wonders if we have any idea what kind of raid this is...
SO Lt Rose says:
::Can already feel the headache coming on.:: ~~~~CO:  We have located the vice-presidents daughter on the planet.  Commander Maor wants to know if you want us to go after her.... or even go to the planet.~~~~
TO Lt Taliesin says:
XO:  We may be able to use the transporters to pick her up, from the scans I've been able to take it doesn't look like they have transporter technology, so they wouldn't be setup to stop us from doing so.
Vleret says:
#::Ignores the salutes of the guards as he climbs the ramp into the shuttle:: CIV: Since I suspect you are a talker, Ms. Bruillard, you may refer to me as Commandant. 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses:: TO: The SO couldn't can't pinpoint her exact location, how will you be able to get a lock on her DNA signature?
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: I will let him decide the feasibility of going after the vice president’s daughter, but you have my approval if he does. I'll stop now, I can feel your headache coming on. Take something for it now.~~~
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  The captain says the decision is yours... whatever you choose to do, you have his approval... ummm about the daughter.  ::Quickly clarifies.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Scans the area with the tactical sensors, knowing the tactical sensors seemed to be picking up more then the main sensors.::  XO:  Let me see if I can get more from the tactical sensors, being closer may help.  ::Also scans the ship next to them to see if he can pickup distinct patterns if lifesigns were closer.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: TO: Take us closer then, we've done all we can here. Thrusters only.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Looks up at the "Commandant," feeling suddenly rebellious and fighting hard not to show her how incredibly talkative - not to mention logorrheic she can be::
Vex says:
#::Grins as he spots movement up ahead of them through the rain, signaling his men they begin running, knowing the sound of the rain will mask the sounds of their approach.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#Vleret: It's Miss Bruillard, Commandant. And it's most pleasing to know you are not opposed to conversation.
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: It seems that the Commander might go after the vice president's daughter. I gave him carte blanche regarding the rescue.
Vleret says:
#::Releases the girl and sits, gesturing for her to do the same>> CIV: My people are renowned for their courtesy, Miss Bruillard. 
TO Lt Taliesin says:
XO:  Yes sir.  I still don't know for sure if being closer will help but it’s worth a shot, if worse comes to worse might be able to beam up everyone in the area as long as there aren't too many at least.  ::Moves the yacht away from the ship and begins an approach to the planet, watching sensors as they get closer.::
Vleret says:
#Pilot: Take us up. And signal my flagship to be ready to transmit our demands to the Federation. 
Vex says:
#::Curses as he realizes what he spotted was just a pack, he glances around looking for more tracks.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Raises and eyebrow and sits down where offered, unmindful of her muddy apparel:: Vleret: I don't think the An'Dovians would agree, Commandant.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  I am picking up what could be a shuttle, leaving the planet.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Can you detect who's on it?
Vleret says:
#CIV: One of a great many things the rebels are wrong about. ::Straightens the trappings of his office attached to his uniform::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
XO:  Bruillard is on the shuttle, but I can't get a transporter lock on her.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: What's the reason? ::Glances at his console:: All: We can't allow them to reach their ship.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
# Vleret: Rebels? They've been living peacefully here for over 200 years. That's a number of generations of An'Dovians who haven't rebelled against anything... and instead reveled in their freedom. Don't you revel in yours, Commandant?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Slips a tablet into her mouth to ease the headache.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Taps a few buttons on his screen.::  XO:  Something seems to be scrambling the sensors, keeping us from getting a lock.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Wonders if she's tugging too hard too soon from the rope but knows perfectly well whose side she's in::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Let the Captain know we're engaging the shuttle.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods:: ~~~~ CO:  A vessel is leaving the planet. Commander Maor is going to engage it.~~~~
SO Lt Rose says:
XO: One of the life signs is not the aliens... :: makes an adjustment::  Human.  ::Verifies Taliesin::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Hears the message and groans, realizing he was regretting the decision to let Maor decide what to do sooner than he thought.::
Vleret says:
#CIV: I serve my people. The purity of our ideal. To reject that ideal as these traitors have is unforgivable. And yet we offer them our forgiveness. A return to home. A return to purity. ::Leans forward slightly:: Your Federation will not be allowed to interfere.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
#::Leans back, finding Vleret's body language threatening as the man obviously believes what he's saying::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
XO:  We could beam a group aboard with transport enhances.  We should have the element of surprise.
