Episode Two: Thunder on the Horizon

Summary: The Quirinus has arrived at Gelia Prime, a pre-warp world which is being studied by a Federation "Duckblind" team. The Quirinus was sent there to drop off new sensor equipment, but in the process of preparing installation, have discovered an agent of one of their greatest foes, the Storm, amongst the Duckblind team...

CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::On the Bridge, just found out about the storm agent::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::At the command center:: CSO: Anything? ::calm and quiet::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Negative. I am still awaiting Ensign Sheridan's acknowledgement of my earlier message.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Captain I think I can piggy back the message on a report I am sending to Starfleet on the physiological effects the "ghost" had on the crew, the message is just awaiting your ok.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<Ensign Sheridan> :: replies to CSO Kraight via tricorder text channel :: ** ACKNOWLEDGED, SCANNING NOW. **
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
Co: That is the message to Starfleet about the storm
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: Send it now, standard encryption.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: Shows tricorder readout to Pangborn ::
Host Sabrina says:
@ ::Off to the side, wondering why the Starfleet personnel are acting so peculiar::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: yes sir ::prepares the message to be piggyback to his report, then sends it::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::monitoring beam down of equipment::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: Pangborn here captain. ::looks at the tricorder as he speaks:: How are you doing with the gremlins?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<Ensign Sheridan> CO: No Andorian life sign detected, sir. Reporting results to CSO Kraight now...
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<Ensign Sheridan> :: via text channel again :: ** NO ANDORIAN LIFES SIGNS DETECTED, REPEATING SWEEP. **
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* We are trying to track them all down now commander.  We may have to send Engineering Officer Telarus to the surface to help with the install.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: looks at Pangborn, shakes head 'no', ever so slightly ::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
Computer: give me personal list off all personnel who came to the duckblind with Dr. Jenson.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: Any and all help would be appreciated. Send him as soon as you're ready ::looks relieved at Kraight's silent report::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Proceed with the installation as planned, but....keep an eye out. Mr. Telarus will be joining us.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Dr. Jenson arrived by herself
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
Computer: When did all other research personnel arrive and did they do so with Starfleet approval
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Sulek*: You've got gremlins, I've got a red herring ::smiles as he pictures the captain hearing this::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: taps a reply into tricorder :: ** INITIATE ENERGY SCAN OF PLANET SURFACE. LOOK FOR READINGS INCONSISTENT WITH TECHNOLOGY LEVEL THIS CIVILIZATION, FORCE FIELDS OR DAMPENING FIELDS ESPECIALLY. **
Host Sabrina says:
<Computer> CNS: All personnel arrived on the following dates ::List of personnel names and stardate arrivals:: All arrived with Starfleet approval.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus*: Establish security teams in case they are needed.  Then get into an engineering uniform and prepare to beam down with the next set of equipment.
Host Sabrina says:
@ ::Crosses arms and taps foot:: XO: Commander?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CO*: Aye sir
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
    @ :: turns to one of the equipment crates and begins unpacking it ::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: All the rest of the research team arrived before Craven
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::pauses at the red herring statement and thinks through his knowledge of human idioms::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*Security*: Prepare to beam down to the duckblind station armed in armor and with rifles.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::distracted:: Sabrina: How may I help you?
Host Sabrina says:
@ XO: Is there a problem, Commander?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<Ensign Sheridan> :: begins energy scan as ordered ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: So none may know that she is not who she says she is.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Yes Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Sabrina: No, not at all. Installation is delayed due to technical difficulties, but we'll get your upgrades up in no time
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
<Ensign Sheridan> :: finds nothing of note from the energy scan, sends results to Kraight's tricorder ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* We have found what we can.  EO Telarus should be down with the next batch of equipment to fill you in on the problem.
Host Sabrina says:
@ ::Nods:: XO: All right. If you need me, I'll be in my office. ::Turns, and begins walking to a room off on the side::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: checks his tricorder as it beeps softly, scowls at the result ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Frowns at the message:: *Sulek*: Aye Sir, Ready to receive EO Telarus
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::hopes he wasn't rude to Sabrina::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: catches Pangborn's eye, gestures him to the far side of the room, away from Jensen ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::casually moves to the location Kraight indicated::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Sir, Might I suggest scanning for all off plant humanoids, then cross-referencing making sure all personnel at the duckblind are still the personnel they are suppose to be?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus*: Lt, are you ready to beam down.  Be sure that Pangborn understands that Craven is the only Storm personnel that we have been able to identify and be sure that he is alone and that no listening devices are there when you warn him.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Sir... as you know, Sheridan has been unable to find any trace of Andorian life signs on the planet. I've asked her to repeat the scan. I also had her check for energy emissions inconsistent with this planet's technology... she found nothing that could shield any Andorians. If they are here, they may be in naturally shielded areas.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ CSO: There is another possibility. Maybe Cherry didn't see anything. I'm not sure what happened, but keep looking if you can.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks into a transporter pad in the cargo bay with the last of the equipment::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Aye, sir. Cherry doesn't seem the type to let her imagination get the best of her. Why is Lt. Telarus being sent down as an Engineering officer?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::gets scanners ready to do the scan for off world life forms, including the duckblind::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@::beams to the transport location with the last of the equipment in engineers clothing::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Sir, may I do the scans?
Host Sabrina says:
ACTION: The "undercover" CTO arrives in the duckblind with the equipment.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Sir Engineer Telarus reporting for duty, your orders
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Due to the captain’s highly skilled messaging, I'm left to conclude that something is amiss with the ship. I can't risk audio communication, and I'm willing to bet he's being sent here to impart information, not perform duties for which he has little training. Good, he's here
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: nods ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@EO: Status ::quietly, looks him in the eye::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: returns to unpacking the biphasic integrator ::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Beamed down with the last of the equipment sir. We are ready to proceed.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: Begin scans.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@EO: And the equipment all checks out?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::scans the surface, for all off world humanoids::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Yes sir
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:;quietly, but with force, through gritted teeth:: EO: Mr. Telarus, give me a full report now.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
Computer: cross-reference these findings with all the duckblind & Quirinus personnel is there anyone there that is not from one of these two?
Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CNS: Processing.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Sir we have security teams standing by, no teams are beaming down yet and we have no conclusive scans
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::exhausted:: EO: Thank you. Did the captain have anything specific to say about his "gremlins"?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::thinks to himself, darn computer speed up::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CNS: Correlation complete. No addition personnel detected.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::growls under his breath::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: Is there an area on the surface that could block ship's scans?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: I am not sure sir, Mr. Sheridan?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: finishes assembling the biphasic integrator, takes it to a nearby equipment bay and begins connecting it to the base computer ::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
<Sheridan> CO/CNS: not presently Sirs.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: We believe that Dr. Jensen is a STORM agent
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Her real name is Deborah Craven
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@EO: I'm assuming the captain is as usual basing his assumption on fact ::Muses::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::still puzzled at why the computer did not pick up on Craven:: CO: Sir, the computer did not pick up on anyone that is not part of the Duckblind team, and that includes Craven, could they have falsified records?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Aye sir
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
::gets an Idea:: Computer: Can you give me current pictures, that is to say like pictures take now from personnel on the surface?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: The Storm is nothing if not resourceful,  but still our computer would have or should have made the same mistake originally.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: I have an idea to lure her back to the ship for interrogation. We need to get her to the ship, I will tell her that a piece of equipment was left on board and that I need her help to look over it because it is damaged
Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CNS: This requires transfer of data from Gelia Prime Duckblind system.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ CSO: Mr. Kraight. I need your assistance ::Motions him over:: Change of tactics here. We believe Sabrina is a Storm agent, monitor for any unusual communications. And try and tap into there location feeds and send them to the ship. I want the entire planet monitored
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: As counselor, you could request this information to update Starfleet records.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Sir what if I sent the CTO or XO pictures of what the team looked like when transferred in, they could then match them to the personnel their now?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Ok, sir, will do.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: You can also send that information.  We will piggy back it to schematics for the equipment.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: thinking, fingers one of the 'whiskers' on his upper lip :: XO: I could conceal a tricorder behind the new equipment in one of the bays, tie it into their ODN. I'll need to set up the data feed to the ship on a subspace side-channel, one the base doesn't use.
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
CO: Ok, sir, will do
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Do it, but be as inconspicuous as possible, time frame?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Pangborn: We are sending you some updated schematics to the equipment, please pay attention to the "lower level" of changes..
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
Sheridan: ::stands and walks over to Sheridan and gives her the personnel file:: Send this to Mr. Telarus piggyback to schematics.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jarvin: Transmit as soon as possible.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@XO: About twenty minutes, I should think.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek: Understood. ::Looks at Kraight:: CSO: Check the data they're sending in for and "correspondence"
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: nods ::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
<Sheridan> CNS: Yes, sir. ::transmits the schematics to the CTO, with the piggybacked personnel reports::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
     ::receives the schematics from Sheridan::
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
COMM: CNS Jarvin to Duckblind
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CNS*: Pangborn here
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@XO: Should we execute my idea sir?
CNS_Ens_Jarvin says:
*XO* Sorry sir, I was trying for duckblind personnel
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: Opens another crate and begins assembling the recursive translation matrix, with the addition of a tricorder hidden carefully within the casing ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: I'm not sure she would buy it. Plus I want to know how big this is
