CO_Capt_Kal says:
::on the bridge:: All: Status reports, everyone.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: makes minor course adjustment:: CO: 5 minutes from Bajor orbid Captain.
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::glances up::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Sensors clear. Only showing commercial traffic

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: They are out there somewhere.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: No doubt the cowards are hiding

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae swivel slightly as she listens to the bridge crew and she looks to the screen::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Commander, contact Bajor and see if there have been any strange anomalies, odd traffic patterns or incidents within their orbital space.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: takes a sip of coffee:: CTO: You know Ty I was thinking of having cup holders installed next to the helm but after seeing what they did to  your walls in your office I decided against it. :: Smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins scanning space for the neutrino`s given off by a cloaked ship::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: narrows his eye`s:: OPS: Funny bugger aint ya

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: What is the status of the repairs?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye :;taps a control on her chair::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::notices the neutrino levels:: XO: With the wormhole here it`s the perfect place for a cloaked ship to hide

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Heads to the SCI 2 station to contact Bajor::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Engineering is still doing some structural work Captain but all the systems are on line at the moment.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks back:: CTO: See if you can to any readings from it

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Aye

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Sends message, reads the message back.  Antennae are still as she heads back to the Captains side::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: begins running another set of scans::
 
Action: There is an incoming hail from Bajor control

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being hailed from Bajor.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: On screen.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae raise up slowly as she sits down::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: places the COM on Screen:: CO: On Screen Captain

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::turns ins his chair slightly::

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : Delphyne are you requesting orbital placement

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS:  Negative, we'll hold a high orbit out of way.  Our business here will be short.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Did you get an answer to your inquiries?

Bajor OPS says:
:: mumbles something about first it was the Cardassians now Starfleet....:: COM: Delphyne : CO: Understood captain we will keep traffic clear of you

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:; brings the ship into a high orbit of the planet:: CO: Bringing the ship into high orbit now Captain.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Nice to see someone who enjoys his job

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae swivel towards the screen at the Bajoran, before she answers Kal::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Probably got one of those annoying call before we showed up.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS:  We're looking for a Klingon ship that came through here lately.  We think it may of gone through the wormhole.  Could you send the logs of the wormhole traffic for the past two weeks to my OPS?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Ah you mean the one from the Pak’led call sentry

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
<edit = centre>

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : Transmitting now captain.  But I have no log of any unscheduled Klingon ships

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS: How about scheduled ones?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the data as it comes in:: CO: You might just ask about unscheduled ships period?

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : Two, both science vessel...well as close to science as that bunch gets

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::watches the exchange between the Bajoran and Kal before she hands a padd to Kal::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::ears perk up at that::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
Self: science vessels, how interesting

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::Checks the data to see when the last one was scheduled::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::turns to his console and pulls the data on the science vessels::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::takes the PADD and glances at it while she speaks:: COM: Bajor OPS: Could you send any information on them that you have.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Padd reads; info received was that nothing out of the ordinary, although being in the general area of an wormhole, out of the ordinary might differ::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Keep digging, they are around here somewhere and we need to find them.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Both vessels seem to check out boss. Both looking for energy mines to replace Praxis and there dependence on us

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Now that we are in orbit have you tried using taychon scans to see if there are any cloaked ships out there?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye.  Also found some old wise tails about conquerors and the northern desert.  But that area was hit hard by the Cardassians

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Was just about to try it.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: That almost sounds reasonable, at least on the outside

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS:  The ship we're looking for might be cloaked and in this vicinity.  Anything that might help us find this ship would be greatly appreciated.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins preparing to run some tachyon scans::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Setting up the Tachyon scans, should be ready to begin in a few minutes

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Captain with that wormhole out there I wish you luck.  In case you missed your history class the Klingons parked a whole fleet out there once and we never knew it

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS: True.  I was hoping that you had complaints of a disturbance in flight paths, orbital parking, etc.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Research into those tales...there might be something there.

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Nothing unusual, but it is strange what gets to be usual around here

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: On it Captain ::taps another command and her small screen comes to life::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Captain if the Hur`q were a advanced as the tales say it`s entirely possible they were aware of the Bajoran wormhole

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::chuckles and looks up at the screen:: COM: Bajor OPS: I don't doubt that.  Anything interesting crop up over the past few weeks?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the power reading making sure the CTO has enough power for the scans::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::initiates the tachyon scans::

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Just the farmers complaining about the dust storms, but thats nothing new

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae swivel back and forth from  McQueen and Kal as she studies her screen::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looks a little more interested:: COM: Bajor OPS: Up in the northern desert area?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks up and catches Kal’s eye:: CO: An idea, Captain?

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Yes, that whole province took a beating at the hands of the Cardassians.  They bombed that area to death, like they had ordinance to burn...well they did have it but....

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: watches the sensors sweeps::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS: But it was unusual for  them to waste it on that area?  Tell me, have you heard anything about that area before the Cardassians destroyed it?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: I'm not sure...just a hunch.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Why bomb the hell out of an arid region? Unless the Cardies suspected something

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods and goes back to her screen::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Like a military build up or something?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Or there was something they wanted to destroy

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: It was supposed to be some sort of staging area like thousands of years ago.  Like a book I read once from earth, it was like Atlantis.  Here one day gone the next

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::raises an eyebrow:: OPS/XO: A cloaked city?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS: Any of the old stories say where they went?

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Yeah to stomp the hell out of the Klingons and go home ::laughs at his own joke ::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: If so what would have given it away to the spoon heads?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO/OPS: That would be one reason to bomb it, but only if it could have been a way to defeat, or at least beat back, the Cardassians

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Possibly an unknown energy signature that they thought belonged to the resistance

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::grins:: COM: Bajor OPS: Now that is extremely interesting. ::leans forward:: Does it say in the old tales where home is?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: We should scan the area for subterranean ruins or caves

Bajor OPS says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Other side of the wormhole, tail tells they even took that guy Kahless' sword back with them

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Sounds like a good Ideal but maybe you should ask the captain first.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO/OPS: And for anything out of the ordinary from the surrounding area

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Captain we should scan that area for any ancient ruins or caves

CO_Capt_Kal says:
COM: Bajor OPS: I'm always interested in those old tales.  Do you mind if we move into orbit over that area and scan it?  Just for giggles.  ::grins::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: nods to the XO:: CTO: You heard the lady I will take science and you do tactical scans.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:: makes ready to scan the area::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Aye

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::turns tactical sensors onto the area::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO/OPS: And if I find anything that could help you I'll send it to your consoles

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: ties the Science scanners into the Helm::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: starts scanning for any  underground structures in the area::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::digs for more tales about the north area::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::watches as the results begin to come in:: XO: I got plenty of caves, tunnels seem to go deep. Wait here`s something interesting

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: slowly starts easing the ship to the area for better scans::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::one antennae turns towards McQueen:: CTO: What have you got?
 
CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::narrows his eyes as he looks at the data:: XO: One of the caves opening has a high neutrinium content, very similar to that of a Klingon ships make up

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:; marks the spot and sends it to the CO/XO`s consoles::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Move us into orbit over that area.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::An eyebrow raises:: CTO/OPS: Found something interesting here, too

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain been moving us in that direction as you were speaking.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: What do you have?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps another command:: CTO/OPS/CO: Seems that supposedly many thousands of Bajorans in that area disappeared about the time the conquers where there.  Similar to the Jews and Egyptians back during the building of the pyramids

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Slave labor?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: So your thinking that they may have been taken with this race to their home world?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
All: Slaves, yes.  Taken, no

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: not taken?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: They executed them?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: From the information I've read, not taken

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Sounds like most invading races when they are done with their slave they simply dispose of them.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: More like slaves worked to death, or very close to it, and then mass graves

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:;shakes his head in disgust:: OPS: Typical isnt it

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Unfortunately

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::turns in his chair:: CO: Captain we should notify SFC and have a forensic Anthropology unit sent out

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Agreed.  But we'll send that report later.  I don't want any of this information picked up until we figure this puzzle out.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::saves the information::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Boss we need to have a look down there. We can tell a lot about where they may have come from by what they’ve left behind

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I just received a text message from station OPS. It has no author and was sent to station OPS for delivery. The message reads as follows "Perhaps K`Vas trust in your abilities is misplaced, I will keep watching". Any bets on who it really is.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: I agree with you there.  But we need to stick to our assignment, unless...... it is tied to this information we found

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
:;turns his attention to the tachyon scans::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Boss I’m picking up trace tachyons around that same cave entrance

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: I hate a smart ass, especially a Klingon smart ass

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::both antennae swivel and she turns to face McQueen:: CTO: You don't say

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Is the cave large enough to hide a ship in?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Negative skipper, the readings show it`s about a day old

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: If it is, then we just might get to go down there ::one eyebrow is raised::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Any other areas close showing the same readings?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Checking now boss :;turns the sensors to another sweep::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Are they consistant with a cloaked ship landing outside of it?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: fixes the ships position over the area where they are scanning::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: A shuttle or landing craft

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::sighs:: CTO: I hate to waste the time, but my gut is telling me that he wants us to go into that cave.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I agree with your gut...Captain

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Prepare an away team.  Yourself, OPS and CTO plus a security team.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: As far as I can tell skipper there are no other emissions.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: I think we may need the jarheads for this boss

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: gets up and turns the helm over to one of the duty FCOs:: CO: Captain want us to transport down or take a shuttle?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Don’t think we could handle this by ourselves, hmmm ::winks::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: We'll take a runabout.  I want a little more fire power than a shuttle.
