Host John A says:
******** Begin Pharaoh Mission ********  
                      "Family Ties"

ACO Starks says:
:: in Captain Ready room sending a message to Von Krieg’s desk on outpost 1138 ::

CTO Horn says:
::At post running monitoring her board::

CNS Janan says:
::on the Bridge, gazing down at the PADD in her hand::

FCO T’Rel says:
::is at FCO post on the bridge::

CTO Horn says:
::keeps monitoring the freighter::

Host John A says:
ACTION: As the Pharaoh resumes her patrol pattern, the enigmatic Freighter moves into LRS range.

ACO Starks says:
Computer: send image of Transport CO to Captain Von Kreig. Begin mesage: Captain you've received our initial report but take a look at this guy he's from your home planet it would seem from his flight plan. It's a long shot but maybe you'll know his face. He gave us all a bad feeling

ACO Starks says:
Computer: end transmission and send

Host John A says:
ACTION: At extreme sensor range the freighter makes an odd coarse change

CTO Horn says:
*ACO*: the freighter changed from its flight plan

CNS Janan says:
::looking up across the bridge for a moment as the CTO breaks the silence::

ACO Starks says:
:: enters bridge :: CTO: report

CTO Horn says:
ACO: While monitoring the freighter, sensors showed it made a course change

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: Course?

CNS Janan says:
::notices the ACO enter, but watches the PADD::

CTO Horn says:
::taps a few buttons to try to determine if their is a reason for the course change::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: didn't they say they were going to 1138?

CTO Horn says:
ACO: That is correct sir. I am also showing no reason for the course change

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: The Pharaoh is still in standard patrol and the transport has changed direction toward the badlands and Gorfax III.

ACO Starks says:
CNS Janan: Counselor please check with 1138 flight OPS and see if that transport registered a flight plan with them, top priority

CTO Horn says:
ACO: That area sounds real familiar

CMO Jayden says:
:: working in sick bay, trying to identify the individuals she scanned aboard the freighter ::

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: keep them in LRS range, let me know if it looks as if they'll enter the plasma storms

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: it sure does.

CNS Janan says:
::nods to the ACO::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: The scans from the last time were there should still be in our database. We could use that and swing around and intercept them without them realizing it

CNS Janan says:
::moves aside to contact the Starbase OPS, still slightly concerned about the freighter’s CO::

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Aye.

FCO T’Rel says:
::keys in the commands to change course slightly so as to keep them in range without making it too obvious::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: I wonder if they are part of the smuggling going on...did you notice ANYTHING while on board

Host John A says:
<Station OPS> COM: Pharaoh: No flight plan issued from the transport, Pharaoh. New Prussian records show it was bound for DS-3

ACO Starks says:
:: sits in the hard chair ::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Nothing that would suggest that they would be smuggling

CMO Jayden says:
:: reviews the DNA of the freighter captain with particular interest ::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: Once we intercept them, then what?  We've already searched their ship.

CMO Jayden says:
Computer: display DNA matrix of patient A

FCO T’Rel says:
::watches sensors carefully::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Maybe not intercept, but the pan is still sound. Swing around, so if there is trouble, we will already be there

Host John A says:
<Station OPS> COM: Pharaoh: We have also forwarded Captain von Krieg’s message to him. Round trip time is 37 minutes.

CNS Janan says:
::looks puzzled, but feels that her suspicions could be quite correct this time, turns to the ACO:: ACO: Nothing to suggest they ever intended to visit the starbase either.

ACO Starks says:
CNS Janan: counselor did you get any impressions from the passengers while on board?

CNS Janan says:
COM: Station OPS: Thank you. ::pauses wondering what message::

CMO Jayden says:
:: keys up information on other instances of genetic anomalies ::

FCO T’Rel says:
::keys in commands to match the flight path of the errant transport ship::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: keep recording all sensor data and try to track and transporter or subspace transmissions

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh continues to follow the transport, which is heading directly to the Badlands

CNS Janan says:
::realizes she had wasted most of her time concentrating on the CO:: ACO: Only that they appeared as confident and assured about things as their CO.

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Aye Sir. ::programs the computer for scan and continuos record::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: time for a stakeout

CMO Jayden says:
:: peruses through other case studies involving similar patterns and stops to read and refresh herself on the Eugenics War ::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Understood sir ::breaks a smile and the thought of having some fun::

ACO Starks says:
*CMO* doctor, anything yet on the bio scans ?

CNS Janan says:
::senses the CTO sees this as a challenge but hopes they are not over looking anything::

CMO Jayden says:
:: goes back to the DNA sample ::

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: if they go in there I don't want to loose them, understood?

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Aye, Sir.

CMO Jayden says:
*ACO*: I will have a report for you soon, sir.  

Host John A says:
ACTION: A static laden message is received from a hospital ship bound for 1138

ACO Starks says:
*CMO* thank you Doctor

FCO T’Rel says:
::thinks to herself that this could get interesting::

ACO Starks says:
:: hears beeping from the com station and turns ::

ACO Starks says:
::points to station:: CNS: on speakers

CMO Jayden says:
:: completes her investigation and prepares her report for the acting Captain ::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: transmission source?

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Coming from a Hospital Ship enroute to Base 1138

CNS Janan says:
::her fingers rush across the console and she nods to the ACO when she has finished:: ACO: I am attempting to clear it up.

ACO Starks says:
CNS Janan: try to put it on screen 

Host John A says:
<Message from Magnus> :: a distorted picture of CO von Krieg appears:: His name is Byron First, Byron von Krieg

CMO Jayden says:
:: arrives on the bridge and walks up to the acting Captain :: ACO: Sir, I have interesting information about the freighter Captain, though I am unsure of its relevance.

Host John A says:
ACTION: The channel goes dead

ACO Starks says:
CNS Janan: get him back!

CNS Janan says:
::looks up at screen:: Self: Oops it is not meant to go off like that

ACO Starks says:
CMO Jayden: one moment doctor

CMO Jayden says:
:: wonders who was on the comm ::

CNS Janan says:
ACO: I'm trying. ::makes another attempt to get the image back::

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: plot an intercept course for the transport best speed

CMO Jayden says:
:: waits patiently to give her report ::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: he lied to us Alex.

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Communication channel remains silent as the transport moves into the badlands to loose the Pharaoh

ACO Starks says:
CMO Jayden: what do you have Doctor

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Aye Sir!

CTO Horn says:
ACO: I don't like being lied to

FCO T’Rel says:
::goes to a faster speed and the ship begins closing on the transport::

FCO T’Rel says:
::prepares for some creative flying::

CMO Jayden says:
ACO: Okay... Computer: display my DNA structure onscreen, then display Jayden 01 offset from it.

CTO Horn says:
ACO: I recommend yellow alert if we are going to enter the Badlands

ACO Starks says:
:: still looking at CMO :: CTO: agreed 

CMO Jayden says:
ACO: This is the DNA structure of the Freighter Captain.  If you'll notice these areas :: points to a section on the screen :: they denote what was termed 'super human' attributes during the Eugenics War on Earth.

CTO Horn says:
::Punches a button on her panel and brings the ship to yellow alert and watches the shields go up::

CNS Janan says:
::taps in more to try and determine who Byron Von Krieg is and pauses to listen to the CMO::

CMO Jayden says:
ACO: Now, it seems that this subject was born with these traits recessively in his DNA.  His family would have been unaware of any difference in his capabilities until the hormonal exacerbation brought on by puberty.

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh closes to SRS range of the transport. It is only moments away from the plasma Maelstrom of the Badlands

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Sir, we are approaching the badlands.

CTO Horn says:
::keeps monitoring the freighter::

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: take us in after them full impulse power

CMO Jayden says:
ACO: Other than that, there were no anomalies among the ship crew.  This individual was the only one with this DNA discrepancy.

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Understood.

ACO Starks says:
::nods at doctor::

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: hail the vessel

FCO T’Rel says:
::brings the ship to full impulse and begins flying in a path after the transport::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Aye Sir ::attempts to open a channel to the ship::

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Channel is open

ACO Starks says:
*COM Transport* this is James Starks of the USS Pharaoh stop and prepare to be accompanied out of the plasma storms

Host John A says:
ACTION: The transport ship ignores the hail and moves into the Badlands to be lost on sensors

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: Red alert

ACO Starks says:
FCO T’Rel: pursue best speed

CTO Horn says:
ACO: Storms are to intense. The sensors have lost them

ACO Starks says:
CNS Janan: bring all 1st shift personnel to alert

FCO T’Rel says:
ACO: Aye.

CTO Horn says:
::Brings ship to red alert::

ACO Starks says:
*AXO* Stidd report to the bridge

FCO T’Rel says:
::concentrates as the ship weaves around in the Badlands::

ACO Starks says:
ALL: we’re going after them 

CTO Horn says:
ACO: All weapons are charged and ready

Host John A says:
ACTION: The transport remains hidden in the intense storms

ACO Starks says:
CTO Horn: do what you can to track them coordinate with science and Flight control

CNS Janan says:
::nods to the ACO:: *1st crew*: Report to the Bridge ::pauses then adds:: Please.

ACO Starks says:
:: sits back in chair:: Self: your not getting away again Von Krieg

FCO T’Rel says:
::in the corner of her mind not occupied with flying, thinks she might have an idea of where they're going::

CTO Horn says:
::receives report that all personnel are at station:: ACO: All stations manned. Will co-ordinate to find a way to track them

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Pharaohs systems show green for the search mission.

Host John A says:
******** Pause Mission ********
