Episode 192 “Nothing but the Rain, Part 5”:  A storm is brewing.  To the northwest of the Away Team the largest cloud formation the inhabitants of Stilgar 3 have ever seen is currently developing.  Marcus Walsh has attributed the formation to air currents drawing up more moisture than expected, but weather control systems are meant to stop this sort of thing...  Meanwhile the Away Team has been on a short walk into the Gardens of the Governors Villa.  On a planet with nothing to hide someone is trying very hard to remain undetected and so a little spy mission has begun...

XO_Singh says:
:: On the bridge, listening to the various reports coming in.::
Host CO_Savar says:
@::On the planet's surface:;  Fara: Is there anything we can do to assist?
FCO_Shania says:
::at helm, wondering if Walsh got enough to do yet::

ACTION: A standard federation shuttle warps into the Stilgar system... this sure is a busy place

XO_Singh says:
FCO:  You had best go down now.
FCO_Shania says:
XO: It's gonna be a pleasure. ::gets up and heads for the TL::
XO_Singh says:
:: Regrets having to give the order, but Shania was the best person at this point in time.::
Host Gov_Fara says:
@::seems to completely blank his guard, a strange expression appears on his face for a moment before returning to normal:: CO: Sorry?  Oh no, everything is fine I am sure!  You see my daughter does like to walk this city at night, always have ever since she was little
Host CO_Savar says:
@Fara: Be that as it may, Governor, perhaps it would ease everyone's mind to locate her... and if you could tell us who has returned.
TO_Tolson says:
XO:  Incoming shuttle.
XO_Singh says:
TO:  Please contact them.
FCO_Shania says:
::enters TL, ordering it to the Shuttlebay, mumbles:: Take your time, mind...
TO_Tolson says:
COM: Shuttle: This is the USS Luna, please state your destination.
CNS_Nhicola says:
#::onboard the shuttle, Ens Ceili Nhicola seriously considers performing a Yeager loop before reaching the ship, just to prove that some counselors can drive, but she thinks better of it::
Host Guard says:
@::looks agitated as if he really needs to be doing something but he has not been given the orders::
CNS_Nhicola says:
#::slows as she approaches the ship::
Host Gov_Fara says:
@::gives the CO a blank look:: CO: If you really think that would be wise, although good luck finding her she can be quite illusive! ::laughs::
SO_Silver says:
XO:  I have the deflector dish set and ready.
FCO_Shania says:
::feels the TL stop, waits for the doors to open and steps out, takes a left turn towards the Shuttlebay::
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods toward Silver.::

ACTION: The FCO can hear some mumbling coming from the Shuttlebay

Host CO_Savar says:
@::Notes the governor avoiding his other question::  Fara: Governor, Stilgar is a United Federation of Planets protectorate.  And in order to protect you, we must know who it is that has returned and how we should deal with the situation.
FCO_Shania says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and approaches Walsh:: Walsh: Can I be of any assistance?
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
::looks up from his console, obviously disturbed:: FCO: Not unless you can figure out a way of recalibrating an entire planets weather system in less that 2 hours
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: Not off hand, nope.
CNS_Nhicola says:
#COM:TO: This the shuttlecraft Resnik, en route to USS Luna from Starbase 917. I am Ensign Nhicola, assigned to join your crew as CNS, requesting permission to dock.
TO_Tolson says:
:: Looks toward the first officer.::
XO_Singh says:
TO:  Our expected counselor.  Welcome her aboard.
TO_Tolson says:
:: Nods::  COMM: CNS: Welcome to the Luna.  You have clearance to land.
Host Gov_Fara says:
@::another pained expression crosses his face as the CO speaks before subsiding again:: CO: I really don't know what you mean Captain!  Find my daughter if you must, I am sure she will be able to help you! ::turns and heads off back towards the building::
CNS_Nhicola says:
#COM:TO: Which bay would you prefer for me to use?
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: But maybe I can give you a hand anyways.
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
FCO: Then I guess you have answered you own question?  ::sighs::  You see this ::indicates a weather pattern:: this is impossible, its almost as if something is undoing what I am trying to achieve
Host CO_Savar says:
@::As Fara exits the scene, Savar turns to face the guard::  Guard: Please tell me who has returned.
TO_Tolson says:
COM: CNS: Secondary bay.  There will be someone there waiting for you.
CNS_Nhicola says:
#COM: TO: Thank you Luna. Shuttlecraft Resnik out.
Host Guard says:
@::seems to come to an internal decision:: CO: We don't know who they are.  They used to come to our planet regularly in the past but haven’t been seen for at least 6 years.  All we know about them is that they are exceptional warriors and whoever they kidnap are never seen again
CNS_Nhicola says:
#::carefully angles the shuttle towards the bay, and guides it in on manual control as soon as the door opens::
TO_Tolson says:
:: Sends one of his cohorts down to meet the counselor.::
FCO_Shania says:
::looks to where Walsh is pointing:: Walsh: Something as in...?
Host CO_Savar says:
@Guard: Do they have matter-energy transportation devices?
CNS_Nhicola says:
#::sets the shuttle down on the floor of the secondary shuttle bay::
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: Couldn't be a ship doing it?
TO_Devenshire says:
:: As the shuttle lands, steps forward to wait.::
Host Guard says:
@::looks confused for a moment:: CO: Oh you mean your transporters of light.  I do not know, I have never seen them used, although there are only stories from the odd witness to go on, no hard evidence
CNS_Nhicola says:
#::sings softly to herself in Klingon, as she makes sure that all of her belongings, except for one chair that won't fit are secure on the antigrav cart, and opens the shuttle door::
XO_Singh says:
:: Taps her fingers on her thigh, waiting to hear from Shania.::
Host CO_Savar says:
@::Nods::  Guard: Thank you.  You have done the right thing.
TO_Devenshire says:
CNS: Welcome aboard the Luna.  I am to escort you to the bridge.  The yeoman :: Nods to the young man waiting off to the side.::  Will see to your things.
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
::thinks for a moment:: FCO: A ship?  No, not a ship, but a weather control system co- - ::Trails off::  Would it be possible to see if there is a any more signals going to my weather control system?
CNS_Nhicola says:
::the counselor exits shuttle with an antigrav cart containing minimal belongings, except for a box of "sentimental items," rolling the ugliest beat-up green chair in the world behind her:: TO: Thank you. Yeoman: Thank you, especially. I never really understood one person having to transport another's luggage.
Host Guard says:
@CO: Just a word of warning Captain.  No-one who has gone looking for these people has ever come back and they are not here long.  I will accompany you if you wish to perform a search however.
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: Sure, just a second. ::steps up to the console and reroutes sensor data there::
Host CO_Savar says:
@::Considers the guard's presence in addition to his own CTO::  Guard: Your assistance would be appreciated.
TO_Devenshire says:
:: Watches as the yeoman takes the gear then with a nod, leads the counselor to the turbolift.::
Host Guard says:
@::nods to the CO:: CO: I believe the Governors daughter exited the complex via the north archway, meaning she is most likely going to be heading in that direction.  A sentry would spot her if she was to circle back.
CNS_Nhicola says:
Yeoman/TO: I'm Ceili, ::pronounced Kay-lee:: by the way, and you gentlemen are? ::she asks as she follows the TO::
TO_Devenshire says:
CNS: Ensign Devenshire ma'am.
TO_Devenshire says:
Computer: Computer, bridge.
Yeoman_Paul says:
:: Waits for the next left to pile in all the counselors gear unencumbered.::
CNS_Nhicola says:
::finds it odd that the Yeoman didn't answer her, but will find him later to thank him:: TO: It's nice to meet you, Devenshire.
FCO_Shania says:
Self: Hmmm, now what do we have here? Walsh: There's a very faint signal being relayed from one of the satellites. I'm gonna try to find out where it comes from.
Host CO_Savar says:
@::Taps his combadge::  *XO*: Savar to Commander Singh.
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: Commander, how are things going down there.  Should we activate the deflector dish?
XO_Singh says:
*CO*: Singh here sir.
FCO_Shania says:
*XO* We've just detected a signal that's being relayed from one of the satellites. We are trying to find where it comes from.
TO_Devenshire says:
:: With a nod and a faint smile of greeting, steps off the lift onto the bridge and off to the side to allow the counselor to pass.::
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
FCO: I knew it wasn't my fault!  ::goes back to his console::
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: No one ever said it was...
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*:  I will see what science can discover.
FCO_Shania says:
*XO* That would surely help.
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: Commander, Ambassador Lenore may have gone missing.  Also, I have been informed that the strange energy signature we detected may be a recurring kidnapper.  They had not been heard from in several years.
XO_Singh says:
*CO*: Is there a pattern to whom they kidnap?
Host CO_Savar says:
@::A curious question::  Guard: Is there a pattern to whom the kidnappers take?
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks back to see Silver had heard and is working on it, then looks over toward the newest arrival with a smile of greeting.::
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
::doesn’t respond to the FCO's "kindness", continues to work away::
CNS_Nhicola says:
::walks onto the bridge, sees the XO in command, but using a combadge:: ::stands and waits at attention, though her dark eyes never fall entirely into the formality of her almost posed stance::
SO_Silver says:
:: begins a complete sensor sweep of the area in question.::
SO_Silver says:
:: shakes her head.::  *FCO*: Sorry Ma'am.  All I can tell is that your signal is coming from the planet and is very week.  For that matter, if not for the interaction of the satellite, I do not believe we would have noticed it.
Host Guard says:
@::racks his memory:: CO: Not really, just that they are usually healthy individuals, old and young used to disappear in equal measure.
XO_Singh says:
:: Quietly as she waits the captains response.::  CNS: Welcome aboard.
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: No, there is no pattern in their kidnappings.  They may be using energy transporters.
XO_Singh says:
*CO*:  I will have tactical check to see if they picked up anything.  However, the idea that there is no pattern leads me into another direction I care not to visit.
XO_Singh says:
*CO*: If you can get me the names, I will put our new counselor to work and see if she can discover anything.
FCO_Shania says:
*SO* Any chance to narrow the scan on that signal somehow?
SO_Silver says:
*FCO*: I am working on that now, but it will take time.
CNS_Nhicola says:
::still doesn't think it's a good time for the "reporting for duty” bit, so she only nods slightly at the XO, remaining at attention::
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: The Ambassador is the only person we are aware that is missing currently.  The last kidnapping occurred years ago.
FCO_Shania says:
*SO* Ok, I won't bother you anymore then. Work away. :grins::
XO_Singh says:
*CO*: If it is the same group, there must be a reason, which would mean some kind of a connection.
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: Lenore may not be connected to the return of the kidnappers.  She may still be on the planet.  If possible, begin a sensor sweep north of my current position.
TO_Tolson says:
XO: The only record I have of any transport in that area is form our own people.
XO_Singh says:
TO: Thanks.
XO_Singh says:
*CO*: Already completed.  Yours is the only transporter evidence in the general area.
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: For the Ambassador, Commander.
XO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Understood sir... since your arrival, there is no record of any type of transport in the general area.
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: With the growth of the cloud, if Walsh can do nothing, I am going to go ahead and start dissipation.
FCO_Shania says:
::looks at Walsh::
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
FCO: Now I know what is happening I think I can prevent the storm from growing anymore, although to dissipate it completely will require these interlopers to cease their actions
XO_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head::  CNS:  May I have your orders please.
FCO_Shania says:
*XO* Hold on that for a while. Walsh wants to try stopping it from growing on another way first.
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: I will give him five minutes to work it out.

@ACTION: On the surface the Savar can just make out what sounds like particle weapon fire and a ruckus coming from the north

FCO_Shania says:
*XO* It would help if that signal stopped.
CNS_Nhicola says:
XO: ::hands her the PADD, but still doesn't get a word in edgewise for the comm:: :stifles laughter when it sounds again just as she opens her mouth to report in::
Host CO_Savar says:
@::His sensitive hearing picks up a sound::  Guard/CTO: Come.  Let us investigate... ::begins to walk at a brisk pace towards the sounds::
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: If we break up the signal of the other object, we would probably break up Walsh's.
Host CO_Savar says:
@*XO*: Commander, continue scans.  Let me know if you come across anything matching her bio signature.  Savar out.
Host Guard says:
@::looks confused then hurries after the CO:: CO: Investigate what?
Host CO_Savar says:
@Guard: I am... uncertain.

@ACTION: The CTO trails after the CO, looking slightly lost though.

XO_Singh says:
:: Looks through the order, adds her code then quickly types in the counselors quarters and command codes.  Hands it back.::  CNS:  Go ahead and settle in for now.
XO_Singh says:
TO: Continue scans.  Also, use the transport data we had on the ambassador and give it to science.  Perhaps they can locate the missing person.
CNS_Nhicola says:
::as quickly as she can speak::  XO: Ensign Ceili Nhicola reporting for duty, Sir. Sorry, I was taught I'd have to say that. I'll get out of your way now, Ma'am.
Host Guard says:
@::looks pensive:: CO: We should not dally too long though, I fear there is a storm coming.
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: How fast can you reestablish your signal to the satellite. Cause if we break up the other signal we might break up yours too.
XO_Singh says:
CNS: Not at all... again, welcome aboard.  If you need anything, let OPS know.
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
FCO: As fast as you free me another channel to transmit on.
CNS_Nhicola says:
XO: Yes, ma'am. ::heads for the turbolift::
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: Well, that shouldn't be too difficult.
Host CO_Savar says:
@::Continuing to attempt to find the source of the weapons fire::

@ACTION: The sounds of combat get louder now and the other two members of the party can pick them up, the clashing of bladed weapons is heard, they are getting close now

FCO_Shania says:
*XO* We can break up that other signal as long as Walsh gets another channel for transmitting his.
Host Marcus_Walsh says:
FCO: Then I suggest we try it.
XO_Singh says:
OPS: Get them the channel they need.
XO_Singh says:
*FCO*: You should have it shortly.
FCO_Shania says:
Walsh: Yeah, just give them a minute to find you a free channel.
XO_Singh says:
:: At OPS nod:: *FCO*: You should have it.
CNS_Nhicola says:
::as the turbolift doors close, the sound of high-pitched laughter that totally mismatches the counselor's voice, which it usually soft and lower-mid-range for a female, can be heard:: :Also, anyone who happened to be glancing in the direction of the lift would see her bend forward a little, just as the doors come together.::
FCO_Shania says:
::hears the XO:: Walsh: Ok, you got your channel. We can start.

@ACTION: The CO and team round a corner and are treated to the aftermath of a battle, at least a dozen corpses litter the streets and a single figure leans against the wall, blood dripping from his shoulder and panting.
