Last time on the Seleya:

An unknown alien species has attacked the AnDovian's a non-Federation world for no known reason.  Surrounding the planet are at least 4 heavily armored war ships.  Whether they are superior to the Seleya or not is irrelevant as the Seleya is in no shape to battle with one ship let alone four.  There is also one huge transport ship that is fairly full.

On the planet below, soldiers continue to round up the civilians while the civilians have resorted to hiding and guerilla warfare, trying to remain safe.  The major cities are empty and what buildings remain standing, occupied by soldiers.  Those still free have headed toward the outlying areas and mountains... any place they can find shelter and be safe.  They have lost track of time of how long they have been just trying to survive their never ending nightmare.

Unknown to the Seleya, the Vice-president's daughter, Salette Bruillard, has been captured by the High Commander Vleret of the Jeshara Guard and taken to a shuttle that has launched into space. And the original team that found her led by a soldier named Vex is returning to track the group they were originally chasing.  The rain which caused the ground to be slippery and allowed for the capture of Salette has quickly hidden most of the civilian’s tracks.  But he has located a pack.

The crew of the Seleya, along with the captain, CTO and MO on the bridge, wait and listen.  Through telepathy, the captain has received an update on the first officer’s team.  This included the fact the vice-presidents daughter was alive and on the planet as well as the aliens had taken half of the AnDovian's already and were contemplating killing off the rest of the AnDovian's on the planet.

On the Yacht, the XO and SO have succeeded in interfacing with the alien vessel. The federation has better sensors then the aliens but as they are piggybacking on the aliens, they are limited.  Still, they have located the general area of the vice-president's daughter.  The aliens do not appear to have transporter technology, so the TO has suggested they go in and beam her up.

The captain has left the decision of rescue to the first officer who has ordered the TO to take them closer to the planet for better accuracy to beam her away.  The TO hoping he can also rescue some of the civilians from the planet as well.  As they leave the vicinity of the war ship, another shuttle has launched from the planet.  Bullard is on it, but the TO is unable to get a transporter lock on her.  Something is scrambling the signal, preventing a lock.  The TO has suggested the use of transporter enhancers to beam aboard the shuttle for an element of surprise.

They have informed the captain they will be engaging the shuttle.

Captain's Log 11501.11: With more than a day before our backup arrives, we're mostly on our own out here. I left the rescue plan up to Commander Maor. I just hope we can assist them if needed.

<<<<<<<<<< No Sanctuary VI >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Resist the urge to pace the bridge, it's never good for morale::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nervous as they leave the vicinity of the alien vessel.  At least in their shadow they had been relatively safe.  They knew so little about them.::
MO Lt Storm says:
@::On the bridge with little to do other then watch her the tenseness growing in her brother.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: On my mark get ready to drop the cloak and transport us inside their shuttle. Hopefully the element of surprise will work to our advantage this time.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::At his bridge station, monitoring the situation around them::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Swallows hard, considering she's in the hands of somebody who's as close to a fanatic as there can be, and therefore, her situation is precarious as best, her life already forfeit at worst::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods her head and then looks toward Taliesin setting up the transporter enhancers.::
 TO Lt Taliesin says:
::In the shuttle prepping to transport over, a set of transport enhancers in his pack, he checks his phaser rifle.::
Vleret says:
::Straightens the cuffs of his uniform:: CIV: If I were you, Ms. Bruillard, I would start thinking of ways to convince your people to cooperate. 
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Looks around the bridge:: All: Keep me appraised of whatever information you receive, please.
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~CO:  The XO and TO are about to beam over to the alien shuttle~~~~
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$Vleret: Commandant, you overestimate my importance in the political affairs of the Federation. I'm someone's daughter, not an elected government official with actual power for making decisions.
CO Capt Varesh says:
~~~SO: Understood. Good luck.~~~
MO Lt Storm says:
@::Looks at Varesh as she knows he just learned something.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the TO:: TO: Two stun charges as soon as materialize, set the charge before we beam out for a three second delay. Check your targets, as soon as you have the VIP we're out of there.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
XO:  Understood sir.  ::Pulls out two stun charges and gets them ready.::  I'll set up the enhancers then have the yacht just beam anyone within its field back to the shuttle at our signal.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Leans back against the back of her seat and crosses both her legs and arms defensively::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@ALL: Prepare to intercept the shuttle if they succeed and we will have to high-tail out of here. The rescue attempt is in progress.
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  Where do you want me to beam you?
Vleret says:
$::Gives her an unconvinced look:: All decision-making in degenerate societies is based on emotion. And that is a currency whose value you possess in spades. 
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::On the bridge keeping a watch on the yacht, not being able to pick up alot of detail at this distance.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Prepare a force field around the yacht's passenger cabin, we'll sort everyone once we return. ::Check his sensors:: Bridge looks like the safest bet.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Focusses on communication in the area to see if anyone is communicating about what is happening::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods and turns back around to tap a few buttons to enclose the yacht's small passenger cabin.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Double checks the settings on his phaser rifle, setting it to heavy stun.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: As soon as we decloak, engage evasive maneuvers and work on getting the cloak back online.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Smirks mirthlessly while considering a few smart-arse remarks about degenerate societies, but instead decides not to debate with the uniformed ape:: Vleret: You have the wrong daughter, then, or the wrong approach to emotion-based decisions. I won't help you.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Glad she had fairly recently updated her piloting training.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Forces himself to sit back in his chair, not ramrod straight and perched on the edge.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the TO:: SO: In five. ::Charges his phaser rifle::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Nods to the XO and waits a few seconds then preps the stun charges.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Not realizing she is holding her breath, her fingers hover over the transport button.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Engage.
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: I don't know what we can do from this distance to help.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Hits the button.::

ACTION:  There is a moment longer than usual for the transporter to cycle through to the alien shuttle. Then the XO and TO appear on the alien shuttles small cockpit area.

Vleret says:
$::Looks across and down at her:: CIV: It's not *me* you will be helping.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$::Covers his eyes as he materializes:: 
MO Lt Storm says:
@CO:  You are going to find yourself in therapy.  ::Nods toward his stiff back.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Drops the stun charges and closes his eyes as he materializes and drops into a crouch his rifle up.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: And you can pump me full of relaxants later. ::Smiles over at her to take the sting out of his words::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  Not much from here but we can't risk getting closer yet.  They still don't know we are here.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nervously waits for the order to beam them back.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: I think they are about to. The rescue is in progress.

ACTION: A bright light flashes in the cockpit area, momentarily blinding those not prepared.

CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::A bright flash blinds her as her answer to Vleret dies on her lips. She covers her eyes reflexively::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@CO: Captain, I just intercepted a communication.. Seems to be a request to dock, aimed at the nearby warship...
MO Lt Storm says:
@CO:  I figured your daughter walking over your back might work.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$TO: Fire! ::Begins shooting, he begins moving toward the CIV::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@OPS: That would be the shuttle coming from the surface that the away team is intercepting.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::As soon the stun charges go off he opens his eyes and begins sweeping the area with his rifle.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Feels heavily disoriented as she hears the distinctive sound of phaser fire::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods:: CO: Probably, though I don't have a triangulation on the source. Still working to see if I can get that...
CO Capt Varesh says:
@MO: I will gladly let her run all over my back with hobnail boots if we get out of this in more or less one piece.
Vleret says:
$::Shies away from the flash, holding his hand up:: Pilot: Raise shields!

ACTION:  The pilot hits out reflexively where the shields button should be.

TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Sees someone’s hand move toward the console at the command and twitches his rifle that way and pulls the trigger.::
Vleret says:
$::Blinks past the fairies in his eyes, reaching out for Bruilliard:: CIV: Get down!
MO Lt Storm says:
@::Wonders what a hobnail boot is... though she believe she got the idea of it.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$ ::Grabs the CIV:: TO: Have her. ::Sets his enhancer and hits his badge: *SO*: Beam now!
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Prepares the Seleya for combat in case they have to rush in to help.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@CO: Captain, further analysis confirms it was the shuttle that sent the signal... It would seem that the top leader of these aliens is aboard that vessel.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Drops his enhancer and sets it up.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Throws herself the other direction than Vleret's reach and allows herself to be grabbed by somebody who appears to have a familiar uniform::
Vleret says:
$::Still slightly dazed, stumbles after Bruilliard, reaching::

ACTION: Taliesin succeeds and the pilots hand goes numb.

CO Capt Varesh says:
@OPS: I don't know if it is good or bad news, but thank you none the less.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Leans against the XO and kicks Vleret's stomach area with her still-muddy boot::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$::As his last action, he aims his phaser rifle at the direction of Vleret and fires::

ACTION: Bruillard's boot makes a connection

TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::With his enhancers set up he sweeps his rifle around the room looking for a target assuming anyone else left is the enemy.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: Do we swoop in to get you out of there?~~~
Vleret says:
$::Falls to one knee, coughing, the normal cold calmness of his voice taking on an edge as he snatches at the commbadge on his wrist:: COM - Flagship: Bloodline, we are under at- ::Drops back stunned from the phaser::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Watches Vleret fall:: XO: Can you make an arrest?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$::Grabs Vleret with him::
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~ CO:  Give me a moment...~~~~ ::Adding a tad extra power, she hits the transport button.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: Are you ready to assist them if we need to?

ACTION:  The transporter shimmers briefly, but when it ends, they are still aboard the shuttle.  However Vleret is down.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  As ready as we can be right now.
CO Capt Varesh says:
@FCO: Prepare intercept course with the yacht.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$TO: Figures. Stun them all. ::Begins firing at everyone::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Feels a little bit off-kilter as the transport doesn't take them away and stays as still as she can hoping "everyone" doesn't include her::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$*SO*: Divert more power to the transporters, try it again.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Frustrated she quickly tries to figure out what happened.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Nods and begins sweeping the room firing at anyone who was still moving.::
FCO says:
@CO: Intercept course laid in, sir.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Without responding she shifts power through the ship.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Failing again.::  *XO*:  Commander, look around.  There is something blocking.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
$TO: Cover me. ::Begins scanning:: CIV: Are you okay? ::Glances at the direction of the CIV for a second before returning his attention to his tricorder::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@::Wants to ask the AT for an update, but knows jogging their elbows will be bad::

%ACTION:  Soon everything on the alien vessel is quiet but for the breathing of the three still standing.

CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Nods at the XO:: XO: Yes, thank you.
Bloodline says:
%::Ship comes alive with every sensor dish, scanner limpet and curious eyeball focusing on the Commandant's shuttle in response to his aborted call for help> 
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Watches the area closely but nothing is moving.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$TO: Take the conn, see if you can take over the ship. We might have to use it to escape.
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Eyes Vleret warily:: XO: How long will they remain unconscious?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Nods.:: XO:  Yes sir.  ::Moves to the conn,, shoving the pilot off his chair and sits down looking at the console.::  XO:  One of the larger ships is moving this direction, guessing they are investigating his brief call.  ::Indicates Vleret.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$CIV: Used high stun. Probably an hour or so. ::Changes screens:: TO: Think I figured it out. Engage impulse. Anywhere but their direction.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Waiting for a reply or their off sensors to tell her something::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$CIV: Anyone else worthwhile we can bring along?
Captain Masad - Bloodline says:
%Pilot: Take us out of orbit and prepare recon wings for launch, immediately! 
CO Capt Varesh says:
@CTO: Anything on sensors? OPS: Comm chatter?
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$XO: They have a group tracking and capturing the AnDovians on the surface. I don't know if we can help the AnDovians, but if we can't beam out we probably can't beam anyone in either, right?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Looks over the console trying to figure out the layout, figuring out the impulse engines he begins changing their course, as he does that he looks for any other controls that might indicate what is blocking transport.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$CIV: We'll worry about them once you're safely back on board the Seleya. ::Waits for the TO::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Nods at the XO and feels awfully inadequate for such a big rescue effort, considering the situation on the surface::
Pilot - Bloodline says:
%Masad: Captain, if we accelerate this fast this near the gravity well, we'll fly the ship apart!
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: What in the blazes is going on? Do you need assistance?~~~
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@CO: The warship will be aware something is wrong... They just tried to make contact, without success.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks up at her screen::  ~~~~ CO:  So far I have been unable to beam them back from the alien shuttle.  And there is a rather large warship heading in our direction. ~~~~
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  Looks like one of the larger vessels is moving into the position of the yatch and the shuttle.
Captain Masad - Bloodline says:
%Pilot: Fly her apart, then!
CO Capt Varesh says:
@OPS: Thank you, Commander. Keep monitoring.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$*SO*: Should be working now, try again.
CO Capt Varesh says:
@~~~SO: Get Maor to tell us what he wants to do. We're standing by to help as much as we can. I suggest hot landings on the shuttlebay, so we can get out of here.~~~

ACTION:  Not quite the direction wanted, but away from the incoming warship, the alien shuttle heads at an angle from the planet.

TO Lt Taliesin says:
$XO:  I think I have the controls figured out, ::Taps a few buttons.::  Moving us out now, if we can't get the transporter working is there a hatch on this ship we could use to dock with the yacht?  ::Sees their course not quite what he was going for tries to adjust.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::At this point, not worried about communications::  *XO*:  Sir, the captain wants to know what you want to do?  He suggests a hot landing in the shuttle bay.
Captain Masad - Bloodline says:
%::Orders the recon vessels launched as soon as they're ready::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Feels glad to know there's actually a Federation starship around somewhere::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
$TO: Shut down all power to the shuttle now.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
$::Nods moving his hands over the console shutting down every system he can control from here.::

ACTION:  A group of fighters leave the warship, heading toward the shuttle.  Two veer off towards the yacht.

ACTION:  As the shuttle shuts down power, its momentum carries it onward.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
$*SO*: Try now, Lieutenant!
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over as the proximity alert sounds:: No... no.... no... ::Sighs in frustration.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Hearing the first officers voice.::  *XO*:  We have incoming.  ::As she speaks, she tries again without scanning, hoping he shut off the source to their problem.::

ACTION:  Transport works.  There is again that moment longer than normal for transport before it releases the four people into the small cabin.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Almost relaxes back in her chair, but instead, hits warp::
SO Lt Rose says:
~~~~CO: Have them...~~~~
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
$::Feels worse than before in the darkness inside the shuttle but her mood lifts as she feels herself dematerialize::
CO Capt Varesh says:
@FCO: Maximum available warp, follow the yacht.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Good job. Engage cloak as soon as you're able.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Finds himself in the small cabin on the yacht he moves to secure their prisoner.::
FCO says:
@CO: Aye, sir. ::Engages the warp engines::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Heading away from the warship, she waits for power to recycle before she can activate cloaking.::
CIV Salette Bruillard says:
::Moves out of the way of the busy officers::
Vleret says:
::Lies on the floor, looking fascistically awesome::
