ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 8 - 11310.22

Summary:  The Claymore is now parked quietly within the Black Nebula.  Her systems are running on minimum power to avoid detection.  Her sensors remain online to keep a watchful eye on the task at hand.  Meanwhile on the Tor Vera the four away team members  approach the system with cautiously.

******************* Resume Mission *******************

@SCENE: The large system lay in front of the Tor Vera.  Sensors showed 15 planets within the system and 8 of those as gas giants.  The 4th planet from the star was still coming up blurry on the sensors but a large orbital outpost was there.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Sitting at one of the bridge stations, leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, but his face looks oddly alert and present::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::At the helm of the Tor Vera::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sitting in sickbay, scanning the device given to her by Vell, as well as the one surgically removed from Hawk's neck::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Sits at the tactical station watching scans, unable to contain an edge of discomfit from his face from the state of the bridge and technology::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits in her ready room looking over some data.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Finishing some last minute items in the lab.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@XO:  Approaching the system, sensors are picking up 15 planets, looks like there is a large outpost in orbit of the 4th planet.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::On the flight deck, going over duty schedules with the DCAG::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Starts a more focused scan, then leaves it to open a drawer in the bottom of her deck, withdrawing a small leather kit::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Carefully sets the kit on her desktop and unfolds it, revealing a set of delicate tools inside::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Without opening his eyes, his voice quieter than usual, and calm::  CNS/CTO:  Is there any traffic?

@SCENE: As before there are several dozen ships docked both external and internal to the station.  However there is a heavy interference around the 4th planet and the station.  It seems to be both natural from the large gas giants and manmade from the station.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Her last scan completed, she selects two slim tools from the kit and carefully begins exploring the intact device with their tips, searching for a way to open it::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks toward the windows, and then back down to the console.  Shutting off the console she stands, straightening her uniform::  Computer: Location of Doctor Raeyld.
Computer says:
CO: Doctor Raeyld is currently in Sickbay.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Shakes his head, too vexed to note Damrok can't see it::  XO:  No traffic, Sir, though some interference.  Lot of ships already docked, though.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::With that information she exits the ready room and heads across the bridge to the turbolift::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Entering the turbolift::  TL: Deck 4
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Carefully slides the device open, probing gently with the end of one tool to slide out a component::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The doors on the lift close as the lift quickly moves coming to a stop on deck 4::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::With Theron off ship in a dangerous situation, it was even more important for her daughter that routine not change.  So turning things over to Mishtak, she heads out to pick up her daughter.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::She exits the turbolift, stepping aside for one of the engineers as she makes her way down the corridor to Sickbay::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Opens his eyes slowly and sits forward to his console::  CNS:  Stay on course.  I'll try to hail them once we're in the system.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Picks up her tricorder, and begins mapping the structure of the device::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Entering Sickbay she looks around for the Doctor::

@SCENE:  The Tor Vera slips into the system passing the outer gas giants before the large station comes into view.  The bright yellow starlight outlining its shape in the distance.

@SCENE:  As the small vessel continues closer to the Station the true outline can be recognized.  This station resembles a large Starfleet Buckingham class station.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Collecting her daughter, she chats with her, taking her away for a short while her concerns on Theron.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Nods, looking up at the viewscreen as the station shows up.::  XO:  Entering the system now.  ::Frowns as view of the station becomes more clear.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walking across Sickbay she notices the doctor quietly working in her office.  She stands outside the door::  CMO: Doctor.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances up:: CO: Captain.  ::Carefully sets her equipment aside, and stands respectfully:: CO: How can I help you?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Motions for her to sit back down::  CMO: Please don't let me interrupt.  I came to see if you were successful at removing the device from Mr. Hawk and what you have discovered if anything about the device.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CO: Mr. Hawk experienced minimal side-effects, and is currently on light duty until he's fully recovered. I have the device... ::Picks up the intact one, holding it out to the captain:: 
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: I am glad to hear that.  ::Looks at the intact device in Raeyld's hands::  May I?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods, and hand the device over:: CO: It's sophisticated. 
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Carefully takes the device, holding it up in her right hand.  She turns her hand slightly to look at it.  CMO: Indeed.  ::nods, continuing to look at it::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Arriving at their quarters, they drop off their things in their bedrooms and then both meet in the kitchen.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Keeps a watch on the helm control as the approach the station.::  CTO:  Open a channel with the station.
Gladwyn says:
CSO: Uncle Sky coming to dinner... ::Looks at her mother::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks at her daughter::  Gladwyn:  Fine... you can make him dinner tonight.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Shakes her head as her daughter happily does a loop and heads for the cabinet.::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods, letting a quick breath go before hailing::  COM:  Station:  This is the merchant ship Tor Vera, requesting docking for trade.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Checks the chrono with a start, then quickly heads out...  late...  again::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Places the device back down on the desk.::  CMO: Thank you doctor.  It might be a good idea to bring Science in on this.  I will check back with you later to check your progress.  ::Turns and leaves the doctor’s office::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Enters the TL::  TL:  Deck 4
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Listening to the rattling of the cupboard, she begins to set the table.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks across Sickbay, nodding to Tevis as she exits.  Heading down the corridor to the turbolift::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Slows down the Tor Vera as they approach the station, waiting for clearance to dock.::
Automated says:
@COM: Tor Vera this is the Black Heart Station.  You will power down and submit to full cargo scans before docking.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Waits for the turbolift doors to open::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Reaches Senn’s quarters, buzzes for entry, then enters without waiting::  CSO:  Hey sis!  Where's the munchkin?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As she finishes she frowns down at the table... it was wrong.  With a sigh, she removes the placement for Theron.  Odd how it had become a habit.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sky's voice pulls her out of her reflection.::  CAG:  Making dinner... she won at the staring contest.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Glances to Foster, though the decision is rather academic after coming this far, and the cargo shouldn't raise any flags::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns around to look him over.::  CAG:  How are you doing?
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Hears the comm, he glances back at Kytides, CTO:  Guess they're a bit paranoid.  Send an acknowledgment.  ::Turns back to his console and powers down the ships systems.::
Gladwyn says:
::All the ingredients gathered, she begins to make Bajoran Ratamba stew... or a close proximity since they did not have Ratamba.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Grins::  CSO:  You're a pushover.  ::Flops down on the couch, stalling before he answers::  I'm okay...  I guess.  It's been a...  strange few days.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods at both, though at least so far their paranoia doesn't stretch to shooting and taking rather than trading, and sends an acknowledgement::

@ACTION:  With the Tor Vera's acknowledgement the station sends out a blue/green scan that passes through the entire vessel.

Automated says:
@COM: Tor Vera your vessel meets the station requirements for an internal docking.  Please process to docking bay 12.  Docking bay doors are open.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Takes a seat next to him her voice lowered so as not to carry::  CAG:  She was really worried and has been planning this.  I just hope it is not too complicated a meal.  Though Theron has been teaching her well.   And no matter what, go along with it.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Give Senn a pained look and answers in an equally quiet tone::  CSO:  You know I wouldn't ever hurt her feelings.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Looks at his sensors to determine which was bay twelve, he powers up the engines and begins maneuvering the ship into position.::
Gladwyn says:
::Looking over Uncle Theron's notes, she makes sure she had put it all together right.  It looked right... Frowning in concentration, she carefully placed it in the oven.::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Expels a longer breath at that, and sets his mind to considering what he can tell about the station from the now-clearer exterior::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters her quarters, the lights were dim but she didn't care as she walked over and kneeled down on the pillow on the floor.  She soon crossed her legs and closed her eyes, laying her hands in her lap.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Yea... well, given how much you worried us.  You know, I really do not like visiting people in medical.  You need to stop visiting there as well.

@SCENE:  Two large bay doors slowly open on the side of the station.  From here the crew get a good look at the additional add-on areas of the station.  From the looks of the station who ever operated it continued to add sections of the station as its popularity grew.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Grimaces::  CSO:  Not by choice, sis.  ::More normal and teasing tone::  And how are you with boy toy out of town and all on his own?
Gladwyn says:
::Setting the timer, she turns and flies quickly out of the kitchen and almost into a dive bomb at her uncle.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Ducks and laughs::  Gladwyn:  Hiya Little One!
Gladwyn says:
::Turns back around and plops onto his lap, her arms wrapping around his neck.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Ignores her brother’s question.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Gives Gladwyn a hug, careful of her wings::
Gladwyn says:
::Proudly::  CAG:  Dinner ready soon.  Made favorite.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stands up::  CAG:  And I was going to make dessert... I think I will leave you two.  ::Smiles at her brother::  Not to mention, Gladwyn has a lecture for you about getting hurt so much.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Smiles::  Gladwyn:  You did?!?  Then I'm glad I made it!
Gladwyn says:
::Nodding at her disappearing mother, she turns to look seriously at her uncle, crossing her arms across her chest, ready to lecture him.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Carefully moves the ship into position and begins moving it into the bay.::
