Lt Semaj says:
:: On shuttle approaching Tenarus outpost::

FCO Salan says:
::is in the holosuite ice climbing::

Host XO Trelan says:
:: looks up as the CO exits the lift into the underground bay ::

CO Sacul says:
:: exits the lift and walks towards the XO ::

Host XO Trelan says:
CO: Captain....

CO Sacul says:
:: smiles :: XO:  Commander.

Shuttle Pilot says:
COMM: Base OPS: Requesting clearance to land.  My passenger needs to speak to whoever is in command at this time.

Base OPS says:
COM: Shuttle:  This is Tenarus, Captain Sacul is currently busy.  How may we help you?

FCO Salan says:
Computer: End simulation.

Host XO Trelan says:
CO: Sir, this is Petty Officer Tersa. She discovered the shuttle disappearance.

CO Sacul says:
:: nods :: PO Tersa:  What do you have?

FCO Salan says:
::exits the holosuite and heads for the officer's lounge.::

Shuttle Pilot says:
COM: Base OPS: My passenger only states that he must speak to the one that is in command.  Is there a second that can possibly appease him?

Base OPS says:
COM:  Shuttle:  I can inform the Captain you have a passenger wishing to speak to her.

CSEC Mathews says:
::sits at his desk, reviewing daily criminal reports::

Host Tersa says:
:: looks genially at the CO :: CO: Sir, I was coming on duty... to do my shift in Flight Ops... when I noticed that one of the shuttles was missing. I checked all the logs and I haven't been able to ascertain who took it.

Base OPS says:
COM:  Shuttle:  Can I inform the Captain whom wishes to speak to her?

CSEC Mathews says:
::gets a PADD from a NCO going off duty and signs off on it::

CO Sacul says:
:: nods :: XO/CPO:  What about visual logs?

FCO Salan says:
::walks up to the bartender:: Bartender: Hey Hoss, let me get a double of the usual.

Host XO Trelan says:
CO: Erased. I checked them myself as soon as I got here.

Shuttle Pilot says:
COM: OPS: It is a Lt. Semaj.  This Vulcan is worse than any of them I have shuttled before.

Host Hoss says:
:: grins :: FCO: You got it.

Host Hoss says:
CO: So how goes the leave? Feeling better?

Base OPS says:
COM:  Shuttle:  I will inform her.

CSEC Mathews says:
::gets up from his desk, and heads out for his rounds before end of shift::

FCO Salan says:
Bartender: Thanks Hoss. Yeah a lot better. I just finished up doing some ice climbing to clear my head and refocus.

CO Sacul says:
*CO* Captain, there is a Lt Semaj enroute wishing to speak to you.  He is a Vulcan.

CO Sacul says:
*OPS* What does he want?

Host XO Trelan says:
:: taps combadge :: *CTO* Trelan to Zahara.

Base OPS says:
*CO* Just to speak with who ever is in charge here Sir.

Host Tersa says:
XO: Sir... he's on leave. He isn't on board.

Host XO Trelan says:
Self: Dagva... I knew that....

CO Sacul says:
*OPS*  Very well.  Clear them.  I'll see him as soon as I'm finished here.

Host XO Trelan says:
*CSEC* Trelan to Matthews.

Base OPS says:
*CO* Aye Sir.

CSEC Mathews says:
::waves to a passing crewman as he steps into a lift:: TL: Deck... ::stops as the com sounds and curses lowly:: *XO*: Mathews. Go ahead.

Host XO Trelan says:
*CSEC* Report to the hangerbay. We have a bit of a mystery here.

Base OPS says:
COM:  Shuttle:  You are cleared to land at bay 2.

Shuttle Pilot says:
COM: OPS: Copy that.  Bay 2.  Any message for my passenger?

CSEC Mathews says:
*XO* Aye. ::directs the TL to the hangerbay, and leans against the wall after closing the com:: Self: There goes getting off on time...

FCO Salan says:
::quickly drinks his double down::

Base OPS says:
COM:  Shuttle:  The Captain will be with Lt Semaj when she is finished with her current business.

Host Hoss says:
FCO: And what did you come up with when you "cleared your head"? he asked with a grin ::

Shuttle Pilot says:
COM: OPS: I will inform him.

Shuttle Pilot says:
:: Brings the shuttle around and makes a smooth landing in bay 2::

FCO Salan says:
Hoss: I'm just going to do my job and not worry about who I'm replacing. If they don't accept me it's their own fault.

CO Sacul says:
:: paces :: XO:  Do we know who has the capability to do that?

CSEC Mathews says:
::steps off the lift, and enters the bay, striding confidently toward the XO and CO:: XO: What've we got commander?

Host Hoss says:
FCO: Good for you. Now that's officer thinking. :: winks ::

Host XO Trelan says:
CSEC: Erased vid feeds, no witnesses, and a missing shuttle.

Lt Semaj says:
::Exits the shuttle and looks around the area then heads to a computer console:: Computer: Compile a list of all employees with access to sensitive areas during this construction that do not have proper clearance and send it to my PADD::

FCO Salan says:
Hoss: Not really, I just can't afford to be sitting in that chair wondering what my predecessor would do.

CSEC Mathews says:
XO: Well well well. Good 'ole fashion duck'n'cover. I like. ::nods:: Simple question. What -do- we have?

Computer says:
Semaj: That request will take 14 hours 17 minutes.

Host XO Trelan says:
CO: An Engineer, a command officer, or a Vulcan. Those are the only ones I can think of that can do it without being noticed or leave traces.

CO Sacul says:
XO:  My thoughts exactly.

CO Sacul says:
XO:  And I have one wanting to talk to me right now.

CO Sacul says:
XO:  What are the odds?

Host XO Trelan says:
CSEC: So far... nothing. Half the crew is off on shore leave off planet.

CSEC Mathews says:
XO: What fun. Time to get creative. ::taps his badge:: *Masters*: Lieutenant masters, get your team together and hit my location 5 minutes ago.

Host XO Trelan says:
:: smiles :: CO: Phenomenal.

CO Sacul says:
CO:  Shall we go and speak with Lt Semaj?

Host Hoss says:
FCO: That's good. I guarantee the Captain will trust you... otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

Masters says:
*CSEC*: Aye. ::assembles a CSI unit and heads for the hanger::

FCO Salan says:
Hoss: I know. I think I'm going to go fly some simulations in the holosuite.

Host XO Trelan says:
:: nods to the CO ::

CSEC Mathews says:
XO: I'd like to restrict this area 'til we figure out what went and got happening here. Command and security personnel only if s'okay with the two of you.

Host XO Trelan says:
CSEC: Approved....

CO Sacul says:
CSEC:  You handle it chief.

CO Sacul says:
XO:  Let's go number one.

Host XO Trelan says:
Computer: Lockout all access to the hanger bay, Command and security personnel with level three clearances and above.

CSEC Mathews says:
XO/CO: ::as the lift doors open and his team arrives:: You'll have my preliminary by the morning or I'm a lieutenant junior. ::winks::

Host XO Trelan says:
:: smiles to the CSEC as they enter the lift ::

CO Sacul says:
:: nods and enters the lift ::

FCO Salan says:
::leaves the officer's lounge and heads back to the holosuite::

CO Sacul says:
Computer:  shuttlebay 2

Lt Semaj says:
:: Reads a message on his padd as he waits for the CO::

Host Hoss says:
:: grins as the FCO leaves, going and handing out a few more drinks :: OPS H'Lo: :: H'Lo! Great to see you! How is... :: voice is lost in the crowd ::

FCO Salan says:
::enters the holosuite::

CSEC Mathews says:
::watches the command folks leave:: Team: A'right. I just put my rank on the line for this here situation. Let me down I start takin' names.

CSEC Mathews says:
::watches his team fan out, tricorders and assorted devices coming out immediately::

FCO Salan says:
Computer: Run a random flight simulation for combat training purposes at the highest difficulty. Include the Pharaoh as the ship in the simulation.

CO Sacul says:
:: exits the lift and looks around ::

CSEC Mathews says:
::goes with Masters to a console and starts going through station and ship logs::

Host XO Trelan says:
:: follows the CO ::

Lt Semaj says:
:: Notes the CO exit the lift and deactivates his padd as he approaches:: CO/XO: Captain, Commander.  Shall we go someplace private?

FCO Salan says:
::takes a seat at flight as the simulation comes to life:: Computer: Begin simulation.

CO Sacul says:
Semaj:  You want to let me know what this is about Lt?

Lt Semaj says:
CO: I understand your concern, captain.  I will reveal everything when we are in a more secure area.  If it helps though...  ::Shows ID listing him as SF Intel::

Host XO Trelan says:
:: looks up to the CO :: Self: Intel... Power-hungry, overzealous...:: sighs inwardly ::

CO Sacul says:
::  looks at the ID and nods :: Semaj:  Very well, how about my office.  :: motions with her hand to the lift ::

CSEC Mathews says:
::listens to the rest of his team tossing theories and suggestions back and forth as he continues sifting through security logs::

Lt Semaj says:
:: Nods and heads towards the lift::

FCO Salan says:
::flies through the simulation with relative ease:: Computer: Increase difficulty to Commander Level.

CO Sacul says:
:: enters the lift with the XO and Semaj ::

Host XO Trelan says:
:: follows ::

CO Sacul says:
Computer: Command Center

CSEC Mathews says:
::takes a look about the bay, catches an ensign heading for him and takes the PADD he offers, before dispatching him back to the security level to arrange a station-wide canvassing::

Host XO Trelan says:
ACTION: Within moments, the trio are standing in the Captain's office ::

CO Sacul says:
:: offers a chair to both men ::

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: I had hoped that I would have seen my father on this trip, but according to base records he is off station.

Host XO Trelan says:
:: sits down ::

Lt Semaj says:
::Sits::

Host XO Trelan says:
Lt: That is correct. Leave on Vulcan, I'm told.

CO Sacul says:
Semaj: That is what I have been informed of.

FCO Salan says:
::only 2 minutes after the simulation begins, it is over and the FCO is very disappointed with his performance::

CO Sacul says:
Semaj:  Now, what is it you need to talk to me about?

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: Very well, maybe next time.  Now down to business.

CSEC Mathews says:
::sighs:: Masters: Shuttles don't just go poof like this. We're obviously missing something.

Masters says:
CSEC: ::nods:: Doesn't help that traffic to and from the planet hasn't been halted. So it's entirely likely there are no witnesses, at least as yet, because they got the hell out of dodge.

FCO Salan says:
Self: I've got to be better than that. Computer: Computer, run simulation again.

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: As you know, this is not the first time that this base has been restructured.  Intel has determined that a breach has occurred on both occasions of late.  The most recent was some very sensitive data on ship deployments along the Neutral Zone.

CO Sacul says:
Semaj:  Go on.

CSEC Mathews says:
::makes a notation on his own version of the report, then moves away from the console:: Masters: I want a list of ships that have come in and out of this space in the last 48 hours. We'll trace every damn one of them if we have to.

Host XO Trelan says:
:: sits back and listens... knowing this was before his arrival but takes mental notes ::

Masters says:
::nods:: CSEC: Aye. ::steps away from the console and heads for flight OPS::

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: I have been sent to determine who is responsible and put them out of business as it were.  The only thing we know for sure is that the person or persons involved do not normally carry the clearance to enter the communications centers but because of the repairs they have access.

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: I will require full cooperation from you and your security staff but no one else is to know why I am here.

Host Adm Trelan says:
Lt: I'd like to know that myself Lieutenant. :: steps from the shadows ::

Lt Semaj says:
ADM: I wondered when you were going to show yourself.

Lt Semaj says:
:: Hands the CO a padd:: CO: This contains your orders and my clearances.

FCO Salan says:
::the FCO last 4 minutes at Commander level this time:: Self: Getting better, but I can do better.

Masters says:
::enters the operations center and looks for the officer of the deck::

CO Sacul says:
Semaj:  I informed the Admiral you were here.

CO Sacul says:
:: nods to Dru ::

Lt Semaj says:
CO/XO: I was expecting to be greeted by him when I requested to speak to the commander of the base.

Host Adm Trelan says:
Semaj: Those beasts knew just how to get through this station’s defenses. But I'm not sure you are aware of their weaponry, Lieutenant.

CO Sacul says:
Semaj:  I am the commander of this base when I am here.

Host Lt. Jones says:
:: sees the Sec officer :: Masters: Something I can do for you?

Host Adm Trelan says:
Semaj: I'm the Sector Commander. Not the base Commander. :: grins ::

Masters says:
::offers a nod to the lieutenant:: Jones: Commander Mathews needs a traffic activity report for the last 48 hours, sir. It's to do with our missing shuttle.

Host Adm Trelan says:
Semaj: Besides, my presence here is... not officially known.

FCO Salan says:
::orders the computer to start the simulation again::

Lt Semaj says:
Adm: I am quite aware of their weapons, admiral.  Are you aware they used access codes to get past security stations around this outpost?

Host Adm Trelan says:
Semaj: I had suspicions, yes.

Lt Semaj says:
Adm: You know very well that there is not much that is not known by my superiors, even if they choose to keep me and mine in the dark so to speak.

Host Adm Trelan says:
:: places his hands in the small of his back ::

FCO Salan says:
::finally completes the simulation successfully:: Self: That was lucky. Computer: Computer, run it again.

Lt Semaj says:
Adm/CO/XO: Intel could not inform anyone here about my arrival because this area is compromised until we can catch whoever is involved in this.  If they learned that I was coming, they would have closed up shop and we would not be able to catch them.  I hope you understand.
