Begin mission: "Gearing Up" - Part XII

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::stares at Remet::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::at her station, making sure all communications from the ship are closed, except the one channel between the bridge and the away team::

CO Capt Rome says:
::sits calmly, waiting on any updates from the away team::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::purses her lips, and blinks at his staring eyes:: Remet: OK... so... I said some things I regret, you tried to assimilate some people you probably shouldn't have... Can't we just ::waves her hand:: ...wipe the slate clean?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Takes a defensive stance, making silent signals to the rest of the security team::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge, glancing around briefly before making his way to the command circle:: CO: Captain, sir. Report from TIC.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::follows the newcomer with her eyes::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::waits for Remet to do, or say... anything::

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks up at his latest officer, only having reviewed his file before this shift started:: CIV: Go ahead, Chief.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::walks into the operations center::

Remet says:
::stares impassively at the doctor::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Follows Idrani into the Operations centre, still on the defensive::

@ACTION: The operations center has a few active consoles and a blinking light or two. Nothing is labeled - finding out what console controls what will take some time.

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::stands to attention and offers the PADD to the CO:: CO: Sir. We're running a defensive pattern with a wide-band patrol to keep our options open. However, with your latest command, I would suggest either docking the Kaneda fully or having them hang as close to the asteroid as possible to avoid sensor detection.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::sighs:: Remet: Fiiiine... ::turns and walks away... aware that she's going to have to update the CO, now::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::moves over to a console:: CTO: Any lifesigns on tricorder readings?

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: When the pirates do return and see the Scimitar inside the field, they will know what's up and may try and flee. I want two fighter wings in the air.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::keeps an eye on sensors::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
*CO*: Doctor Lee to Captain Rome...

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Sidles up to a console::  Self: It'll take forever to work out how to use this.  ::Takes out her tricorder, leaving one hand free for using her knife if necessary::

CO Capt Rome says:
::hands the PADD back:: CIV: Please take over the Secondary tactical station and operate from there whilst Feyna is off the ship.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::now that's she's said it, she wishes she hadn't. Glances around at Remet:: Remet: See what you have me doing?

CO Capt Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *CMO*: Rome here.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@XO: There are still life signs at the far end of the base.

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::nods an affirmative:: CO: Beta and Iota wings will be standing by, sir. ::takes that as permission to leave and steps over to Tac Two, bringing up the TIC overlay and issuing orders::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
*CO*: Captain... I have an update on Remet. We had an incident in Sickbay. Remet reacted to direct contact, which is great, but he reacted negatively, which, plainly, is not... great.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::orders two tactical officers to stay and try to decipher the consoles:: CTO: Let's go to the far end of the base then. ::pauses:: They're always as far away as they can get...

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::glances over at tactical:: CIV: Did you find your quarters satisfactory, chief?

CO Capt Rome says:
::sighs and looks around and lowers his voice:: *CMO*: Anyone injured?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Smiles a little:: XO: Care for a little exercise Commander? ::Starts to walk in the general direction the tricorder suggests::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
*CO*: No... just gave me a fright. We're making peace, now, sir. His assimilation reflexes are simply stronger than anticipated.

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::nods, turning and smiling over to OPS:: OPS: Yes, sir, quite satisfactory. I appreciate having my own space, I was lucky to get a single room.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::doesn't return the smile:: CTO: Let's go.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Tilts her head slightly at him, and continues moving:: XO: Commander, have we had an argument I fail to remember?

@ACTION: The XO and CTO's route follows the curving corridor, evenly spaced viewing ports into the docking bay giving them a view of the large space.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::nods:: CIV: Do let me know if you require anything else. ::turns back to her console::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::smiles, bringing up the tactical overlay and checking on the close-range scans:: OPS: I will do, sir, thank you.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@CTO: No, but there might be one coming up. Let's just focus on the mission, Ensign. ::moves into the corridor::

CO Capt Rome says:
*CMO*: Then either have progress to report or deactivate him. You have a week. I don't want this security risk on my ship.

@ACTION: Corridors branch off from the main passage, indicating living quarters and other spaces further into the base.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::had not expected that CIV to be so formal, but makes no note of it::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Stops moving for a moment, feeling something drop in the pit of her stomach and thinking that she needs to find out what is going on::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Restarts moving, with Idrani slightly ahead of her, so he can't see her furrowed brow::  XO: The life signs are still ahead Commander.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::furrows her brow:: *CO*: I'll take the week... ::glances at Remet sadly::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::gets an update from the TIC on his console:: CO: Beta and Iota wings are standing by, running quiet and keeping low. All other Kaneda have been docked but I've got them waiting on the hangar deck ready to launch for support, sir.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::is determined to spend the next week wearing the CO down in relation to Remet::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::keeps his phaser rifle at the ready:: CTO: Stay alert. ::reaches the end of a long corridor and open the door::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Self: Maybe he likes cookies... ::ponders::

CO Capt Rome says:
::closes the comm and returns his attention to the screen showing the AT's progress::

@ACTION: The XO opens the door into an ante chamber with three doors.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Passes the tricorder to a tactical officer, and arms herself with the rifle that had been slung across her back::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::sees Conway march past:: Conway: Do we have Borg-shaped cookies?

MO Dr Conway says:
::pauses, looks at CMO with confusion:: CMO: I... can look it up? ::looks lost::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Conway: Never mind.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::opens the door on the right, ready for anything::

@ACTION: Four haggard-looking Eta Cetans sit on the floor, looking hopelessly at the Away Team.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Does a security sweep around the room, allowing Idrani to interact with the Eta Cetans::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@ Haggard-looking Eta Cetans: I'm Commander Idrani from the USS Scimitar. Please identify yourselves.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::starts to sort Sickbay out, in case they end up with casualties. Waves her team around like the landing crew on an aircraft carrier::

Capt Klirnot says:
 @XO: I'm Captain Klirnot, commander of the ore freighter. These are some of my crew.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@Klirnot: Where are the rest of your crew?

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Listens to the conversation whilst continuing her sweep::

Capt Klirnot says:
@XO: I have no idea. They kept us separated so we couldn't plan anything, or overwhelm them. I hope they are still alive.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@Klirnot: We'll find them. We'll beam you up to our ship.

Capt Klirnot says:
@::gives a shaky nod:: XO: That would be much appreciated. We haven't had anything to eat or drink in two days, I think. They could just be punishing us of some imagined slight.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::taps his badge:: *CO*: Idrani to Rome, we have found four people claiming to be from a freighter. Standard security procedures, please lock on to them and beam them up.

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::checks in with Beta and Iota wings, confirming their loadout and status::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Nods silently in agreement with Idrani's plan::

CO Capt Rome says:
*XO*: Good job Commander, we'll take it from there.

ACTION: The Kanedas report nothing interesting, not even a stirring of space dust.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@*CO*: Yes, that's what I said. Idrani out.

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Get security to Sickbay, then transport them directly to Doctor Lee.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Looks over at the officer with her tricorder, raising an eyebrow in question regarding other lifesigns::

Capt Klirnot says:
@XO: Thank you, commander. We appreciate your assistance.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: Yes sir. ::contacts security to have a team of 8 report to sickbay, then taps her badge:: *CMO*: Doctor Lee, This is Lieutenant Saprin. We have four Eta Cetans transporting in to sickbay. We expect them to be friendly but in case they are not, a team of security will join you.

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::frowns a little deeper as he gets the update:: CO: Everything is quiet on sensors, Captain. I must admit, sir, I'm a little worried. Why hide an empty asteroid base?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::gets a lock on the Eta Cetans and waits a few moments for the security team to report to sickbay::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::nods to Klirnot as they beam away:: CTO: Okay, let's move on.

ACTION: The four Eta Cetans disappear from the base, appearing in sickbay.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::makes sure the Eta Cetans are in one piece:: CO/CIV: The Eta Cetans are aboard.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::hears the transporter beam, turns around and see... :: Eta Cetans: Gah!

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::opens the middle door, ready for whatever could possibly be behind it::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Has her rifle at the ready again::

@ACTION: The middle door opens onto a larger barracks-looking room with eight Eta Cetans.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::turns, looking at her staff:: Staff: Did anyone know they were coming? ::turns back as she gets a load of shaking heads:: Eta Cetans: Hi... ::sees Security stream into Sickbay, realizes these are not likely to be invading aliens from an alternate dimension when Sec staff don't immediately start to fire their phasers::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::looks down towards Saprin:: OPS: Is there any hidden or encrypted comm chatter in the area? Anything to suggest the station and the surrounding area isn't as dead as it seems?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::his phaser rifle raised:: Eta Cetans: I am Commander Idrani, mighty Starfleet officer. Identify yourselves.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Eta Cetans: Please, take a biobed each... Conway: Conway! ::waves her MO over to two of them::

Gortis says:
@::raises his hands:: XO: Uhm, I'm chief engineer on one of the ships that got taken. These are some of my crew, some of the other ship.

CO Capt Rome says:
::stands up:: CIV: They might be out hunting.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Raises her eyebrow slightly at Idrani's phraseology, but keeps her weapon raised::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@Gortis: Don't worry. We'll save you. ::taps his badge:: *CO*: Idrani to Rome, more to beam up.

CO Capt Rome says:
::nods to Saprin to carry on::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
CO: And leave their entire base empty and undefended? Are we even sure these Eta Cetans we're beaming up are prisoners, and not a strike force waiting to take over the ship?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::checks sensors:: CIV/CO: I did pick up an encrypted transmission to the base. It might be related to the field, but I cannot tell for sure.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::begins scans on Captain Kilrnot::

CO Capt Rome says:
::turns to face the Chief:: CIV: Transporters are operating under security measures, that means no unauthorized weapons get transported, we have Security in Sickbay....is there anything else I can do to soothe your nerves, Chief?

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Show me.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CIV/CO: While we are inside the field, it is safe to say they won't pick us up. But once it is dropped...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::watches the next lot beam up and returns to the antechamber:: CTO: So, what's behind door number three?

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: It is only an encrypted command, Captain. I can put it on the view screen. ::does so::

CIV MCPO Griffiths says:
::smiles slightly, nodding:: CO: Sorry, sir. It's caution more than nerves, I don't like it when things are too quiet, and it's giving me a weird feeling in my gut.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@XO: Nothing good I imagine. We've been awfully lucky so far.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@CTO: Nothing we can't handle, I'm sure. ::opens door three, fully prepared for absolutely anything::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Self consciously checked her knife is still sheathed at her hip::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
Nurse Dar: Saline, stat... ::smiles to Klirnot:: Klirnot: How are you feeling?

@ACTION: The last room is packed to the roof with containers.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Be cautious, that's good.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@Aloud: I'm Commander Idrani, mighty... ::sees the containers:: Oh. CTO: Scan the containers. Let's see what's inside.

Capt Klirnot says:
CMO: Glad to be alive. They have been keeping us for weeks.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@XO: Tricorders aren't giving us any information, but there is a door behind the containers leading to another chamber.

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::looks around confidently as her team sees to the other three Etas:: Klirnot: I can see that... ::glances at her patient's readings:: But we'll have you feeling better in no time. ::accepts the hypo from Dar and presses it against her patient's neck::

ACTION: Sickbay starts filling up as all the rescued Eta Cetans get attention.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::opens a container::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::makes sure the Eta Cetans keep arriving in the ship in one piece::

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: See if you can decrypt that.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::nods::

CMO LtJG Lee says:
::pulls Beta shift onto duty as the number of patients increases::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Starts to maneuver herself around the containers to approach the door::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
@::looks at the contents:: CTO: Bags of chips. Isolinear chips. ::drops the lid closed again and approaches the door::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
CO: It seems to be a command to the life support systems ... changing the O2 to Co2 mix.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@XO: For selling?

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Inform the away team.

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@::Starts to slowly shift a container away from the blocked door::

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::nods:: *XO*: Saprin to Idrani. We detected a single encrypted command to the Starbase. It is directed at the atmospheric controls. It will change the O2 to CO2. It may reach toxic levels.

CO Capt Rome says:
OPS: Trace the command to its source.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Lieutenant. Might be a good idea to beam us some EVA suits down.

OPS Lt Saprin says:
::nods and tries to trace the command::

CTO Ens Feyna says:
@XO: I'll look for some medical packs, see if I can find us some tri-ox.
