Last on the Seleya:

Commander Liazon has charge of the bridge as the CMO found himself needed for emergency surgery.  With caution and luck?... the Seleya brought aboard their eight new crewmembers.   Given suspicions running high, security has been tightened up; seven are quickly processed while one other has been placed under guard.  An encoded message has been received by the crew and forwarded to the Admiral Garrison.

At top speed, they have headed away from the area towards the coordinates the CSO sent them.  However, they did not go alone as they have a shadow.  Six hours have passed on the Seleya as the new crew settled in and the doctor's surgery is a success; but he is exhausted and is now resting. The new CSec has jumped into his duty, preparing the tactical Incursion Team in preparation of meeting up with the captain and her group.  They are one hour out.

Shane Zaris ship and crew, along with the Seleya's group had arrived within the Alpha Bolwin system where they believed the Church of Recurrent Tragedy had taken stolen weapons.  He believes there are 45 disciples there that are engineers, mercenaries and scientists that have faith in what they do; zealots, perhaps the most dangerous adversary.

They decided to infiltrate the base and sabotage the weapons if any.  Shane's abilities allows him to distort the laws of nature to some extent and make them appear as no more than a trick of light, ghosts passing through shadows… but it will not trick any sensors.  CSO plans to try and overload the church's sensors with information to draw their attention away.

The planet-side base used to belong to the Ferengi's who sold it to the church.  Sensors had detected high energy readings coming from it.  In two groups, the recon team has beamed down:  Maor and Shane have beamed in near the back while the Captain and Sumner have beamed in near the front; each is armed with a phaser.  All about the perimeter can be seen mercenaries guarding the place as if in anticipation of their arrival.

Captain's log, Stardate 10807.20. I am about to infiltrate a base belonging to the Church or recurrent tragedy. There is a strong possibility they are harboring forbidden weapons. It’s imperative to act fast so I made the decision to go in on my own. Maor and Sumner have agreed to join me and I trust the rest of the Seleya crew will soon follow.

<<<<<<<<<< Savior IV >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Gomes says:
::arrives on the base and instinctively takes cover taking the CSO with her, out of sight:: CSO: Do your thing ::in whisper::

SCENE: The area of the planet-base is barren and quiet but for the winds that occasionally howl through the surrounding hills.

SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: On the bridge, working on familiarizing herself with everything there, trying not to be intimidated by the size.::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::in the cargo bay on the Seleya reviewing the 12 strong team's performance::

Shane Zaris says:
:: Turns to look at Maor beside him as if waiting.::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::flips open his tricorder and hits his button, flooding the area with false particle readings and random data:: CO: ::whisper:: Let's see how well this works...

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: CSO: But now we may have a harder time scanning for the weapons, so we will have to go with the maps from Shane's ship

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Clears his throat:: Shane: Take a holoimage, it'll last longer. ::Waits for him to lead the way::

ACTION: Inside the computers begin to take in a load of information.  The sensors go on the fritz as they try to process it.

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@Team: So far you have learned how to use stealth tactics to infiltrate an enemy position and you have all picked it up and performed in your exercises very well... Except you. ::points to one NCO::

Shane Zaris says:
:: After a moment, turns away.  Quietly::  CIV: Something’s do not, father.  :: moves ahead, keeping his eyes open.::

ACTION: As the pirate ship reads what is happening, it snatches the team and beams them inside the compound.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Shane: Spare me your little philosophical nonsense, unlike Gomes I don't really buy it. You had your chance and you've made your choices, as did I. Now let's do what we came here to do.

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@PO Williams: You planted a breaching charge on a door without checking to see if it was locked. If that had been a real situation your position would have been given away to the enemy and in all likelihood you would have all been killed.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::draws his phaser and takes a breath::

PO Williams says:
@::look down at the floor::

Shane Zaris says:
:: In a hallway, looks around the corner.::  CIV:  Where do you wish to go?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: Ok, very well, this is an improvement. We are at the best deployment site. Let’s find those weapons ::looks around::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::moves and keeps his eyes peeled for anything that could unravel the fabric of the universe::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around, trying to get his bearings:: Shane: Isn't this your show? ::Takes a quick look around the same corridor Shane looked at:: Can't you, sense, where we should go first?

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@Team: Remember, if there is a way to do things without making a noise, do it that way. The door Mister Williams breached was unlocked and he didn't checked... we cannot afford even such minor mistakes.

SO Lt Rose says:
*CSec*: ETA is one hour.  We have not heard anything else.  And we still have the shadow.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: My guess is, they will be heavily guarded, but the time to fire a phaser ... on stun, is now that they won’t detect it and the element of surprise is on our side

Shane Zaris says:
CIV: I believe the control room is not too far from here.  I would suggest trying to take the system down to protect the others.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: Understood. ::starts looking covertly for large groups of guards::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Shane: This way? ::Points at a particular direction::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::moves around the small cargo bay they were taken to and takes a look at the corridor outside carefully::

Sec LtJG Trigger says:
@SO: Acknowledged... it appears I have an opening in the team... ::looks at Williams:: Care to join us?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: We should check the rest of the cargo holds, come on ::moves carefully in the corridor and looks for the next door::

Shane Zaris says:
:: Pauses before a room where he can hear voices.  Moves to one side of the door and looks at Maor, nodding his head inwards.::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::follows the Captain, phaser at the ready, mind slipping into tactical mode::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::takes cover as two church members approach chatting and hopes the CSO will do the same. Then she notices a door leading to another cargo hold::

SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: smiles:: *CSec*: Only if I get to fly.  Commander Liazon wants to know how you are doing there and he asks that you not eat too many of them too soon.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::points at the lock:: CSO: Think we can open that?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses, slowing his breath and leaning in closer to hear the muffled voices coming from inside the room better:: Shane: Wait. ::Takes out his traicorder and attempts scanning the room in front of them to try to determine how many people are inside of it and if there are any alarms or security devices installed::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::follows the Captain's movements and takes cover:: CO: Shouldn't be a problem. ::moves to the lock once it's clear and begins trying to circumvent it::

ACTION: The computers clear of the overload of data and sensors on the base are back to normal.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::keeps watch as the CSO is working on the lock:: CSO: Since your tricorder is otherwise busy, maybe a low energy phaser burst in the right frequency will make it work

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::takes the CO's advice and lowers the output on his phaser, before firing a short burst at the lock::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises three fingers in the air at the direction of Shane:: Shane: In three we move. ::Attempts to break into the internal computer to disable the lighting system inside the room::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::grins:: *SO*: Hey I wouldn't have to eat any of them if they'd pay more attention to what they were doing... arm up and come on down, I think we have just enough time for another run through before we have to go.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::as the lock gives in, she enters the room, phaser in hand, then locks the door again:: CSO: Good job ... I don't know how much longer the tricorder trick will work

ACTION: The lights go off in the control room and angry voices can be heard.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::finds a console that looks oddly Starfleet and activates the LCARS system:: CSO: Look at this

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Rushes inside the room with his phaser in his hands set on stun and begins shooting a wide spread all across the room::

SO Lt Rose says:
@ *CSec*: With the CSO currently gone, I got bridge duty.    Commander Liazon asks that as soon as you are ready, he needs to discuss a plan with you.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::moves to look at the LCARS screen::

Shane Zaris says:
:: Follows, firing wide dispersal::

ACTION:  Before the men know what hit them, the drop to the floor, stunned.  The room is silent.

Shane Zaris says:
CIV: We probably do not have much time.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: I still don't know if they are planning the end of the universe but they are certainly thieves ::starts downloading the information to her tricorder::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::keeps on the lookout as the CO downloads, resetting his phaser to max stun::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@*SO*: Ok, I'm on my way. ::hands over to the team 2IC and heads for a turbolift::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: These parts they stole, they are pretty heavy stuff. Could it really be ....

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Lowers his phaser and holsters it while removing temporary binds from his trousers pocket and beginning to bind the hands of the now unconscious people inside:: Shane: See if you can make something of the computer then. Try finding something we can use.

Shane Zaris says:
:: Nods and moves to the terminal the men had been looking at.::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his inspection of the men:: Shane: Think we can afford to take one of them with us for questioning?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: I am just not sure if Shane got one thing right. He said the weapons were here ... but I don't see them ::further checks the console::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::rides the lift up to deck one and steps out onto the bridge::

Shane Zaris says:
:: Not looking up:: CIV: I leave that to you... :: looks up::  You will want to see this.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: As much as I know you'd like to trust him, this could be a trap. We need to keep our eyes open.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: Oh no ....

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and makes his way towards the console Shane was working on:: Shane: What is it?

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
Self: That's never a good phrase...

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: They have some details here of the Madtion Nebula ... I ... died there ::looks further::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::decides to keep his questions limited; now wasn't the time for 20 questions::

SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Hearing the lift open, she nods her head toward the ready room::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: there was an omega particle fountain there and ... well, I think I got as much of this as I could. We shouldn't stay here

CO Capt Gomes says:
::taps her badge::*CIV*: Gomes to Maor

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his badge:: *CO*: Go ahead, Captain.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: We found evidence of stolen Starfleet material and heavy equipment as Shane mentioned. They also have data on the Madtion nebula. But no signs of the weapons. Did you find them?

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::looks around and makes his way over to Brianna:: SO: Can you forward the Facility diagrams to the ready room for me? ::smiles::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Close, Captain. They appear to have constructed some sort of an array at the Maditon Nebula. No idea for what purpose through.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: I thought the nebula was destroyed

SO Lt Rose says:
@ CSec: I believe he already has everything the CSO sent to them just before picking us up.  I hope it is enough.  We will be there soon.

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@SO: Ok, I'll see you in there. ::smiles and heads for the ready room::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: Regardless, that is where we must go. From where you are, can you find the control room and access the communications. We need the Seleya

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::fails to keep himself from thinking of the consequences on messing with Omega molecules::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: I'll attempt to, Captain. Through I'd like to try to find a way to remote control the array from here. Give me a few minutes.  ::Starts working on the console::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::knocks and enters the room without waiting for an invitation:: Liason: You wanted to see me Commander.

SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: self::  Odd...  *Commander Liazon*: Subspace in this area appears to be... warping.

Liazon says:
@*SO*: Warping? In what way? ::hold his hand up to signal the CSec to wait::

@ ACTION: Throughout the ship, the crew feels a very disturbing 'ripple' effect go through them.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: Thank you. Keep me informed

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: We should get going. Perhaps the best way is to meet up with them in the conttrol room

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::shakes his head to clear the ringing out of his ears::

Liazon says:
@*SO*: Report.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::nods, raising his phaser once more:: CO: Let's go.

SO Lt Rose says:
@ *Commander Liazon*: We are no longer were we were before... :: looks over at flight, listens and nods::  We are 10 minutes from where the captain and others were taken.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods as well and raises her own weapon, her tricorder now safely tucked in her uniform. She makes her way to the control room, whispering:: CSO: we are bound to find more people along the way. Given we are outnumbered, avoid conflict if possible

Liazon says:
@*SO*: Any damage?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: *CO*: I got the Seleya, patching her through your communication badge. ::Does so::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: Understood, Captain. ::follows her lead::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: One moment ::finds some place to take cover to contact the Seleya::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Seleya*: Gomes to the Seleya

SO Lt Rose says:
@ *Cmd Liazon*: No sir... everything appears to be fine.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::takes cover and watches the Captain::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: I'll try to get us out of here

SO Lt Rose says:
@ *CO*: Ummm... Captain?  This is Lieutenant Rose on the Seleya.  One moment while I patch you through.

Shane Zaris says:
:: Suddenly looks up::  CIV: We have trouble.  We need to get out of here now...

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: From what I read and what Maor told me, this weapon is being assembled in the Madtion Nebula. That is where we must be

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: Do you think it uses Omega molecules?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods, taking a few steps back and raising his phaser:: Shane: Stand back. ::Powers his phaser to the maximum:: Here we go. ::Fires at the direction of the console::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: Quite likely. But that is all the more reason to try to stop them, don't you agree?

ACTION:  The console melts down.  At the same time, an alarm is heard throughout the base.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: Of course. ::doesn't add the second half of his thought::

Commander Liazon says:
@ *CO*: Captain, go ahead.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: We've been spotted, we're bailing. Maor out. ::Closes the channel and motions for Shane to go::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Seleya*: this is Captain Gomes. I need an emergency beam out for me, Sumner, Maor and a humanoid which is near Maor. Can you do it?

Shane Zaris says:
:: Moves to head out, turning away from the sound of men yelling and feet pounding as they ran.::

Commander Liazon says:
@ *CO*: Captain, we are about 8 minutes eta from your area.  If you can keep yourselves clear until then...

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
CO: What about Shane's ship?

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Liazon*: We were spotted so we may not have 8 minutes. do your best. Gomes out

SO Lt Rose says:
@ *Cmd Liazon*: Our shadow is warping ahead of us...

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: Good idea, though I don't have a way to contact them ::taps her badge again:: *CIV*: Gomes to Maor. Can Shane have his ship take us out?

ACTION: On a sudden burst of speed, the shadow vessel heads toward the planet.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Look at Shane's direction for a answer to the Captain's question::

ACTION: A group of men round the corner and fire at Shane and Maor.

ACTION: Shane jumps in front of the fire and is hit square in the chest, going down.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Ducks and covers behind a corner, shooting at the direction of their assailants:: *CO*: We're cornered, we--- ::Pauses in mid-sentence:: Shane is down. ::Continues firing::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: Meanwhile, let’s keep moving, I don't like the way this is going ::gets up from where she is and starts walking down the corridor again::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::follows the Captain, keeping his eyes peeled::

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::takes a seat in the ready room and waits for the Commander to finish::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::gulps:: CSO/*CIV*: The Seleya will be here in less than 8 minutes

Shane Zaris says:
:: Gasps in a breath as he turns to look at his father::  CIV:  Do not let them... win.  It is in your hands... now.

ACTION: Maor is sandwiched in between the two teams firing in his direction.

Commander Liazon says:
*CO*: Captain, we have a problem.  We had a ship shadowing us and it has now proceeded ahead of us.  They will get to you before we will.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Stares blankly ahead at the direction of the crumbled body of Shane:: *CO*: I don't have eight minutes, Captain. I'm-- Damn. ::Tries to look for a way out:: Damn!

Commander Liazon says:
@ :: Walks out onto the bridge.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*Liazon*: I will see what I can do

CSec LtJG Trigger says:
@::follows the Commander::

SO Lt Rose says:
@ Cmd Liazon: We can do a snatch and run of one group only... I have their locators on sensors.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSO: we really need to get to that control room

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::nods and picks up the pace::

CO Capt Gomes says:
*CIV*: There is another ship coming ... possibly to get us. Is there any way you can access a console to protect the station from beaming till the Seleya gets here?

ACTION: A beam locks onto Maor and those around him.

ACTION: A second beam locks onto the supplies waiting transport.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::rns through the corridors, phaser in hand ready to stun anything that moves::

ACTION: The captain and CSO round the corner to see Shane lying still.

SO Lt Rose says:
@ Commander Liazon:  I have a clear lock... beaming them aboard now...

ACTION: Maor finds himself surrounded on a strange ship, weapons pointed at him.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::runs for Shane, her little boy::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::runs after the Captain, trying to stop her::

ACTION: The captain and CSO are beamed aboard the Seleya, along with Shane.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
#::Looks around him, remaining silent for now:: All: Guess I'm not in Kansas anymore.

Shane Zaris says:
@ :: Opens his eyes for a moment to smile at the woman before him, then let’s go his last breath.::
