Mission Summary: The investigation continues as the CTO and TO have returned to the ship to analyse the data collected in the operations centre. It seems that there have been some invalid entries on incoming ships which happen to coincide with the estimated arrivals of the so called “Rogue Defiants”.

It remains a mystery who did it and what is exactly behind it… join us today to see the conclusion of the Tal-War Efficiency Check…

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  In Stellar Cartography, checking some systems ::  

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 :: Walks into ME, straightening out his uniform as he looks around for something to mess up. ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
TO: Check these timestamps with the Station logs and see if there's anything that indicates a pair of Defiant-class ships.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: Will do chief

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 :: Walks over to TAC 1 ::   CTO: Stuart, I've been checking SF records and no Steamrunner-class vessel in the fleet was anywhere near Outpost 34A when there records claim there to have been!

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Checks the logs for any indication of any pair of Defiant-class ships ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Is sitting on the bridge ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 :: looks into the data about the Steamrunner class vessel entered on the station's logs ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 :: at Ops checking activity reports for the past day ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Is checking through reports ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ :: In a shuttle... somewhere ::  

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 ::  He walks over to a console which is located conveniently close to the warp core and begins to check on some settings and readings. ::  

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 :: Looking at the console he taps in some commands to bring up some diagnostics ::  

ACTION: After processing all the evidence gathered by the various teams, the results begin to appear on the science and tactical consoles on the bridge.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Is slowly analysing the data as it reaches her console ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@COMM:  Tal-War:  Permission to dock.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Ms. Santos, did you find anything interesting in your screening of the Outposts transmissions?

ACTION: The operations console lights up as the CMO's hail is received...

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  notes a rather disturbing anomaly in relation to the Steamrunner ::   CO: Cap'n, I'm rather concerned that something odd is happening on this outpost.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Begins to review the results of the info on his console ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Continues to look through the data ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: I'm sending you the results.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: Any theories?

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 :: As the diagnostics are within operational parameters he turns around and observes the people present. Efficiency at it's best ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Thanks ::  remembers they still haven't had time to meet up recently as he heads back to his console to find analysis reports ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  notes some more disturbing results ::   TO: O’Brien, run some standard decryption algorithms on this data, priority one.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: Aye

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 :: Is about to send the report when she notes new data just appearing on her screen ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ ::  gets the Tal-War in visible range.  Is suitably impressed as she checks it out ::  

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Receives the data from the CTO then runs a decryption process on it ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: Tob... Sir, I may have something of note here.

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 :: as he can't find a reason to mess with the console, he moves on to something else to do. ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CO: From what I see here there have been some entries in the docking logs which have been falsified. whoever did it used a Starfleet security access code.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: But not necessarily a Starfleet officer?

ACTION: The operations console once again bleeps for attention.... "bleep" "bleep" ....

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: I just got markers about two missing scientists specialized in weapon design.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 :: interprets the information on the screen ::   CO: Captain, we seem to have a big lead, Sir.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CO: Well the entries and in particular the codes used to enter them have been heavily encrypted, we're working on decrypting them now.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CO: It would seem our phantom "Steamrunner" was making illegal transactions of SF technology to the Ferengi!

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: As soon as you get a breakthrough, inform me immediately

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Can we trace the Ferengi who it was sold to? We might get more answers from them

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye Cap'n.  ::  turns back to his console and runs some decryption algorithms of his own ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ ::  starts packing up the food wrappers, etc. ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 :: Stops in the middle of what she says as she realizes that Wuer is otherwise busy and her console is getting an incoming transmission ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CO: The Ferengi Marauder vessel, D’Kora-class, it was on a destination to Ferenginar and left around four days ago

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Waits until the results arrive from the decryption process ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
COM: Shuttle: Tal War here, please identify yourselves?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Use what resources you need to trace its ownership

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ ::  brushes some crumbs off the helm and sits back down ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@COM:  OPS:  Personnel transfer.  One to come aboard.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
OPS: When you've finished over there Renee, I could use an extra set of eyes on this.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CO: Aye Sir

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
COM: Shuttle: Stand by please. CO: Sir, a shuttle is asking to dock. One personnel transfer.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: What was that about missing scientists?

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  turns back to the console and studies the algorithms and encryptions while trying to find out how to untangle it all ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 ::  runs an identification search on the Ferengi Marauder ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 :: nods to the CTO and continues with Wuer ::   CSO: I will give you the details in a minute, Lieutenant. CO: Sir. What about the shuttle?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Looks at a PADD in front of her ::    OPS: It should be our new medical officer. Go ahead with the transfer

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 :: Satisfied he leaves stellar cartography ::   *CSO*: Sir, do you require my assistance? Stellar is performing optimal.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Over hears the Captain ::   Self: new medical officer...hmmm

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 :: also overhears the CO ::   Self: I wonder who it is this time.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CO: Acknowledged. COM: Shuttle: Please transfer aboard with your credentials. Tal War out.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
*SO*: Ah.. Mr. TChar, very good, report to the bridge ASAP.

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 :: A young SO walks up to him ::  <SO_Brin>:TChar: Sir, it seems the ETA of the Ferengi marauder is 2 days

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: Lieutenant Wuer?

SO_Ens_TChar says:
SO_Brin: Thank you, I will relay this information to the bridge. *CSO*: Sir, it seems that the ETA of the Ferengi marauder is 2 days. I'm on my way to the bridge now

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@COM:  OPS:  Put my comm. signal through to the docking bay and I'll do so.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Yes Ensign

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ ::  moves the shuttle into position ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 ::  put the shuttle through with cargo bay before resuming ::   CSO: Something came up a couple minutes ago. Two missing scientists specialized in weapon design and modifications.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  runs a few more algorithms and then bombards the encryptions with several at once ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ :: shuts down the shuttle's engines as the automatic docking procedures click into place ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Overhears Santos ::   OPS: What are the details about them?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 ::  The final result on the decryption check arrives at the console and eyes are widen ::   CTO: Sir you'd better get a look on that

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
OPS: Do we know who they were? Any indication of who took them?

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
@ ::  enjoys the ride in ::  

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  Enters the TL, wondering if the CSO missed his last message ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  turns to the TO ::   TO: What have you got?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: It seems that the SF access code belongs to LT. Fernhim

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CO/ CSO: Their identity and files have been encrypted with a fractal code, Sir, it could be a while before we break it.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
TO: Double check, I'm not going to throw any accusations around unless I have solid evidence to back them up,

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  opens the hatch and steps out onto the flight bay ::  

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: It's already double-checked sir

ACTION: As the CMO steps out of the shuttle she trips and hits the flight bay floor quite harshly... welcome to the Tal-War....

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  nods and turns toward the Command Circle ::   CO: Captain...

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: I overheard about the scientists MacAllister. Do we have anymore information about the situation?

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 ::  Since he had nothing specific to do he begins to walk around on the ship as he hears a faint bashing sound coming from the shuttlebay. ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 ::  wonders if the missing scientists could have something to do the Ferengi ::   *SO*: Did I here you mention something about an ETA? To Ferenginar I presume?

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CO: We have nothing about them here, however I'd like to request permission to return to the station and have another word with our Lt Fernhim.

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 :: walks across the flight bay towards what appears to be the exit ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 :: wonders what business this ship has at a run-down outpost as she walks ::  

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 :: Exits the TL and steps on the bridge ::  CSO: You are correct sir. ETA of the vessel to Ferenginar is 2 days

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  stops at a wall panel to locate the nearest turbolift ::  

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 ::  As he is ready to enter the shuttle bay, he walks right into the new CMO ::   Outloud: OUCH!

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 :: notes the SOs arrival ::   SO: Do you have any information on its registry?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO: There is a possibility that we might be heading in the direction of Ferenginar shortly.  Head down to the Outpost as soon as you have your questions together. Make the list with Wuer, so we can include some about the Ferengi vessel. I'll inform you when we intend to depart

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
CMO: I beg your pardon...  ::  Looks over the CMO's uniform ::   Doc? When did you get in?  ::  Get's up and straitens his uniform again. ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CSO: Do we have anything to follow up with on the Ferengi vessel?

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  looks at the EO curiously ::    EO:  Just now.  I'm to report to the bridge.

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  Walks over to the CSO ::   CSO: Not at the moment, but I’ll get right on it sir  ::  stumbles a little bit... too much wine yesterday ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CO: The ships ETA is 2 days to Ferenginar, Sir.. Mr. TChar here is attempting to obtain its registry!

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  nods ::   CO: Aye Cap'n.  ::  turns to Sci1 ::   CSO: Tobius... Fancy a trip to the outpost before we leave?

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 :: Leans to a side and peeks into the shuttle bay. Even from that distance he notices a few scratches near the bottom of the craft as he faces the CMO again. ::   CMO: You don't want to make me believe you flew that shuttle over there, did you?

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 ::  Smiles over at the SO ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 :: looks over to TAC ::   CTO: Yeah, do you want me to be the good or bad cop?

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
EO:  I did not dock manually, no.  Perhaps you should have a look at your systems in there?  Now if you'll excuse me.   :: walks off towards a turbolift ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: I'll let you be good cop today, I'm not in the mood to be nice.

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  He turns to the science console and brings up the data they have on the Ferengi vessel. Analyzing the data he finds the information the CSO has requested ::   CSO: it's registry number is FR6377-82921-FA. It's registered as a merchant vessel. They've been to this outpost before. That's all the info we have sir

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 ::  wraps up her analysis finally and sends it to the CSO ::  

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 ::  Looks at the CMO as she passes by and raises his voice slightly ::   CMO: Well, it only confirms the ancient saying that females can't operate moving vehicles...  ::  Thinks again about what he said and quickly turns to walk into the shuttlebay and take care of his precious shuttle and the floor. ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
Computer: Access Outpost sensors and locate Lt Fernhim.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
SO: Okay Ensign, take over at SCI 1, and relay that information to OPS and the Captain  ::  walks over to OPS ::   OPS: How long will it take us to get to Ferenginar considering the Ferengi ship will be there in 2 days?

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  decides she's not in the mood for chewing out an ensign today, and enters the TL instead ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
TL:  Bridge.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CSO: 5 days at maximum warp, Lieutenant.

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CTO: Doesn't seem we have much time, Stuart, you want to do this now then before we have to leave?

<Computer>  CTO: Lieutenant Fernhim is not on the Outpost.

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  Puts the information he found in an easily readable format and sends it to the OPS console and the captains chair ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 ::  wonders if she could check with the Outpost Security for files of the missing scientists ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
Computer: What was her last known location?

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 ::  overhears the computer as he stands in front of TAC 1 ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
CSO: Looks like we won't have to, our Lieutenant is no longer on the outpost.

<Computer>  CTO: Shuttlebay 2

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  emerges onto the bridge.  Steps out of the TL, stops, and takes it all in ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
CTO: Damm... CO: CO: Captain, can I make I suggestion that we leave for Ferenginar ASAP, Sir.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
Comp: Did she board a shuttle?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CO: Captain, I might contact Security on the Outpost to see what they have on the missing scientists, before we leave?

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 ::  Notes the new officer standing outside the TL and checks her out ::  

<Computer>  CTO: Affirmative.

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 ::  As he walks into the shuttlebay he begins to examine the damage to the shuttle and floor. ::   Outloud: I really wish they would hand out some kind of permit to allow people to operate these.  ::  mumbles ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
Computer: Did she board a Ferengi Transport Shuttle?

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  doesn't see an Executive Officer whom she would normally report to.  Notes the Captain appears busy. ::

<Computer>  CSO: Negative.

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
Comp: Transfer all details about the shuttle to Tac1.  ::  turns to the CO ::   CO: I concur with Mister Wuer.

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  wonders what everyone is talking about ::  

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 ::  notices a new face in teal standing by the TL and nods to the officer ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CTO/CSO: Very well. Get us to that Ferengi vessel. We need to try and get there before any evidence is destroyed

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 ::  walks back to Tac1 stopping by the CMO ::   CMO: Excuse me, I need to be in here.

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  steps aside as she nods to OPS ::  

SO_Ens_TChar says:
 ::  Accessing the analytical systems he tries to get every bit of information he can find ::  

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: Chief, need any assistance?

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
 :: prepares a communication for the Outpost Security in case the CO would agree to this step ::  

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 :: brings up the info about Fernhim's shuttle on the display at Tac1 ::   TO: Yes, you can track this shuttle.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 ::  Is facing the viewscreen, so doesn't see the new officer ::  

CMO_Lt_Kyrron says:
 ::  steps formally to the command chair and hold out a PADD ::    CO:  Dr. Kyrron reporting for duty.  Permission to proceed to sickbay.

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
CTO: Transfer the data to my console

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Turns as she hears herself addressed ::  

EO_Ens_Bugalot says:
 :: He enters the shuttle as and sits down in the pilot seat. When he does, he begins to run a diagnostics on the final approach systems of the craft and hopes to find a glitch in there, like the CMO mentioned. ::   Self: I better hope she's right about this...

CTO_LtJG_MacAllister says:
 :: shunts all the data to Tac2 ::  

CSO_LtJG_Wuer says:
 :: walks back over to SCI 1 ::   SO: Lets try and find all we can about these missing scientist before we get to Ferenginar, Ensign.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CMO: Dr Kyrron. You are welcome to the Tal-War. Report to me again once you have made yourself comfortable in SB, and in your assigned quarters

TO_Ens_O`Brien says:
 :: Receives the data about the shuttle and starts to track it ::  

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
 :: Looks the Doc up and down, reminded of her sister ::
