Last time on the Seleya:

	The captain managed to escape her room to explore a bit of Haliks ship.  She found evidence of torture, but none of the Tueghems.  Returning to her room in time to have Halik come to along with Maor, whom she does not recognize, she learns of Haliks plan for the Teughems… which is not to anyone's benefit but his.
	Maor managed to get himself aboard Halik's ship to bargain with him for information in return for giving him help in gaining control of the syndicate.  Halik plays with him and near the end, shows him and the captain a room filled with empty stasis chambers.  The two are then immediately beamed back down to Orion at the academy where the captain had originally been taken.
	Zenbed, having been brought illegally aboard the Seleya and placed in the brig, has given the CSO what information he can with the condition that the CSec will be turned over to the Orion authorities.
	OPS along with the CSec and SO work on finding out what they can about an Orion ship that does not 'fit in'.  They locate the life signs of whom they believe are their crew, but none of the Teughems.
	The FCO is recuperating from a bad bout of the Orion Flu.  Dr. Dale has returned him to light duty for the next two days.
	Starfleet has assigned the Seleya a new first officer who is arriving on a transport ship now 10 minutes out.

Captain's log, Stardate 10901.11. I was just transported back to the Orion Cosmology Institute along with an odd stranger. My goal is now to contact the ship and try to stop Halik.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Ignores the Captain's question and quickly turns his attentions toward his surroundings, trying to get his bearings::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::frowns at the stranger but if he doesn't want to let himself be known she goes to find one of her officers::

SO Lt Rose says:
OPS: Ack... I had not read any of the updates.  Do you have them?  Who are we expecting?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
SO: Some medical officers and our new XO, apparently. Should I respond?

@ ACTION: A couple of security personal catch sight of the captain and hurry over to her, expressions of relief on their faces.

SO Lt Rose says:
OPS: Oh shoot... yes please.  And will you go down to meet with our new XO?

@Security officers: I am glad to see a familiar face. I need to borrow this ::without waiting for an answer she removes the badge from one of the officers and puts it on her uniform::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Glances at the retreating form of the Captain and silently watches her leave, making sure to keep her in his line of sight::

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

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Hearing a familiar voice reaches out and grabs the incoming call:: *CO*:  Captain?  Is that you?

Security says:
@ ::Surrounds their captain::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
SO: Yes Maam. COM: Urnides: Thank you, we are prepared to receive the officers. ::leaves it at that and heads for the transporter room::

CO Capt Gomes says:
@*SO*: Yes Rose, it’s me. I was returned tot he Cosmology Institute. Beam me and the officers here to the ship immediately. Also, call off anyone still on the surface.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Moves closer to the Captain's location as the local security begin to surround the Captain while still keeping his distance::

Operations Rigger says:
# XO: Sir, we will be arriving shortly at the USS Seleya.  They have given us permission to unload.  If you will wait in the transporter room, we will have you and your medical officers beamed over shortly.

SO Lt Rose says:
::sighs:: *CO*:  Good to hear your voice.

SO Lt Rose says:
::sends the order for transport of all personnel.::  *CO*: Oh yea, we have new officers coming in... you have a new XO.

@ACTION: The captain and security find themselves in transporter room one.

XO Lt Stradiot says:

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::walks into the transporter room:: Transporter Chief: Are we ready, Chief?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks around with relief to the familiar surroundings of the ship::

Transporter Chief Says:
OPS: Aye, sir.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
#::Stands up on the pad and waits to be transported::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Hello Ensign. I wasn't expecting a welcoming committee.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::looks up stunned:: CO: You're...not... What? Hello. You must be Captain Gomes?

Transporter Chief says:
::nods to the captain::  CO: Ma'am, Urmides is requesting transport of our new crew.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: If you'd wait here just a second, I can introduce you to someone. ::nods to the chief to transport the others::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods to both the Ensign and the transporter chief and steps down from the transporter pad::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Moves away as soon as the Captain disappears in the transport and begins making his way toward the direction of the exit to the facility::

SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*: Ma'am, all crew accounted for except for Commander Maor.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Very well but I have urgent matters to discuss with the crew.

# ACTION: The XO and three medical officers are beamed aboard the Seleya.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I think this wait will be worth it.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: Scan the system for him. I hope he was not taken as well.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods to the OPS::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::watches as the new crew beam in:: XO: Sir, welcome aboard. ::gestures to the CO:: This is Captain Gomes, ::quieter:: I think. ::back to normal volume:: CO: This is the new Executive Officer, Lieutenant Stradiot.

CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Oh, I wasn't aware one had already been assigned. Welcome aboard Lieutenant. ::extends her hand::

SO Lt Rose says:
::mutters under her breath::  Self: This is like looking for a needle in a haystack... :: frowns::  No, that would be easier.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks around and spots the OPS and CO:: Both: Thank you very much. ::Gives a slight bow to the CO and shakes her hand:: CO: Pleasure to be aboard.

CO Capt Gomes says:
XO/OPS: We will have time for more pleasantries later. XO: Someone will take care of your belongings, we have urgent matters to discuss.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: CO: Isn't there always.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: And you must be my new operations officer? I remember your file.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Er, yes Maam. I am. ::extends a hand::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::shakes her hand:: OPS: good. As soon as we get to the bridge call all senior crew to the observation lounge. say ...in 15 minutes

CO Capt Gomes says:
::makes her way to the nearest turbo lift::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Yes, maam. ::follows the CO into the turbolift::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Keeps up with the CO::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::as everyone is in the lift:: Computer: Bridge.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::removes her hairclip to reposition it better, standing behind everyone else:: Self: She doesn't seem too happy to be back. And the new XO seems... young.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/XO: You both arrived in a particularly delicate time. I would rather you had arrived while we were in Federation space.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::as the lift doors open, she exits onto the bridge:: SO: Hello Brianna, its good to see you again. Can you give me a report of what happened since I was taken?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: CO: Apologies that my arrival couldn't have been more suitable.

CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: I have to be careful with this one, he takes everything literally XO: Its not your fault.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::walks out of the TL and gets to her console, sending a message to all senior officer to be in the Observation Lounge in 15 minutes::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Gives a slight smile:: CO: I know.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns around::  CO: First, I cannot locate any of the Teughems... my guess is they have some kind of inhibitor around them.  I cannot find Maor because... he is Maor.  The CSO has one of the syndicate in the brig and is interrogating him.  CSec is with him.  Ummm... he was not brought aboard legally.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: Sir, senior staff has been informed of meeting in 15 minutes.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: OPS: Thank you.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::blinks::SO: You mean that the CSO kidnapped this person?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::turns to the SO and CO:: CO: Er, not exactly, maam.

SO Lt Rose says:
::rubs the side of her nose::  CO:  Ummm... kind of.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::opens her mouth to respond to OPS but realizes someone did it for her ... its good to have an XO::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::takes a deep breath::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Blinks as the report comes in:: Self: I come onto a new ship and they've already started kidnapping people...

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::wonders where the CSEC is when she's going to get disciplined:: CO: It was my idea at the time, although I am later told it was not the correct decision.

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/OPS: In summary, we have no leads on where to find the Teughems.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO: It's my first day too... trust me you've got the better deal getting in a few hours later.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Your idea? What exactly made you think it was a good decision at the time?

SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods her head as she turns to take a call from the CSO.  Sighs and turns back to the captain::  CO: Ma'am, apparently, the CSO has offered to turn the CSec over to the Orions in exchange for information and dropping the charges of us taking him aboard without his permission.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Perhaps the bridge is not the best place to discuss this, Maam?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Turns to the OPS and raises an eyebrow::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Indeed its not. You, the CSO and CSec will not leave this ship under any circumstances until I talk to the three of you.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Beams himself over to his safe house in preparation for the next step in his plan::

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Any luck finding Maor?

SO Lt Rose says:
::shakes her head wondering if the captain will let him off the ship again.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::turns back to her console frustrated and angry at the first impression and the lack of support from her crew::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::turns again to the Captain:: CO: Captain, perhaps I could speak with you in your ready room before the staff meeting?

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I have no idea where to go from here.  While Maors physiology is unique, it is not that unique.  There are others on the planet who read as he does.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Briefly ::does not look happy at all:: XO: Assemble the crew in the observation lounge. Perhaps Lieutenant Rose can give you an update in the mean time.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Moves closer to a terminal station located at one end of the room and begins working on it::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::walks to the Captains ready room, waiting for the CO to take point::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::walks to her ready room and sits in her chair. Waiting for OPS to get in::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: Alright, what's been going on? Seems quite hectic around here.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Glances up from the terminal and makes his way toward the direction of a weapon locker located nearby::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::follows in and waits for the doors to speak:: CO: I believe it may be easier to explain myself if I am given freedom of speech. Do I have that luxury, Captain?

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Certainly ::still doesn't look happy::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Stands and moves to join the group::  Medical:  Your rooms should be ready for you shortly.  You might want to check out the medical bay while you wait.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I appreciate the tension of the situation; however, I do not appreciate being disciplined in front of my fellow crewmembers when all the details have not been fully explained to you, especially on my first day.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at her new first officer::  XO:  Ummm... in a nut shell... we rescued some children.  Their parents and their ship mates were taken to Orion where we are trying to find them, without much success.  The captain gave a talk at the Orion institute of cosmology where she was taken from there by... ummm... I don't know whom.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: She only recently made an appearance the same time you did.  All crew have been beamed back aboard but I seem unable to find Commander Maor.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: As you are aware, I was taken against my will to an Orion ship and spent the last hours in a cell. I admit my words were not chosen very wisely but I had to know what happened.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I was NOT in command of the away team, so I should not be taking the hit for this decision. At the time it was decided that we took the best option. Unfortunately it has come back to haunt us, but if I had to suggest it again to my superior officer I would because had I not, we may not be having this conversation in your ready room.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Very well, I ask again. What made the away team kidnap this person?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Grabs a weapon and a transporter enhancer:: Computer: Start backup plan Seven, Oh, One. Two minutes lapse. Begin in, ::Checks his chronometer:: Five. Four. ::Resumes counting backward to zero:: Engage. ::Locks and loads his weapon::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: Was there a medical profile on these people we're searching for?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I am very pleased to see my new Captain is reasonable and willing to hear my concerns. I thank you for that. ::pauses:: We'd spent ages there trying to get information on your whereabouts and this Zenbed man wasted every minute he could, only to not tell us the information he inferred he had.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: We have the four children along with their mother... shoot, I forgot to tell the captain that.  ::looks toward the RR doors and then back to the XO::  Their mother was found, in pretty bad shape.  She is stable and in sickbay at the moment.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: So, referring to previous cases from the Federation Database, we saw fit to arrest someone who was hindering a Starfleet Investigation and was possibly involved in the kidnapping of a high ranking officer.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Starfleet doesn't let criminals get away with crimes just because they are not Federation members. We believed we were well within our legal rights.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Did he threaten you in any way?

ACTION: Maor is beamed aboard the Seleya just outside of the brig.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: And no, he didn't threaten us directly.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: SO: I'll check on that later...I was a CMO before here, so I'll check sickbay afterwards. As for this Commander Maor...where was he last seen?

ACTION: The intruder alert flashes on the security console.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Turns to pull up a map of the area Maor was last known to be and points the location out.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I am sure you are aware that Orion is outside our jurisdiction. Furthermore, we are not on any official mission. We must use caution in every way. And this idea of turning the CSec into the hands of the Orions  ... well, I just won't let it happen ::gets up::

Security says:
XO: Sir, we have an intruder aboard.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: With respect, that is a more stupid idea than mine.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Frowns:: Sec: Location!

CO Capt Gomes says:
::chuckles at the remark, but then regains her pose::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Thank you for your honesty but this matter still has to be dealt with. But first I have an important decision to make regarding our current mission. Is there anything else you would like to add?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Only that if the CSEC must stand trial for this act, I will stand alongside him.

Security says:
XO: Just outside of the brig area.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Materializes in the middle of the Seleya brig, facing the prisoner:: Zenbed: It seems this is your lucky day, Zenbed. Stand back. ::Points his weapon at the direction of the force field control panel and fires::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: That is noted. I don't think it will come to that but I will not have such recklessness on my ship. Hopefully with the new XO, I will be able to stay aboard more often.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: And with a good Operations Officer to keep an eye on the away teams... ::smiles and heads out of the ready room::

ACTION: Zenbed looks totally surprised as does the CSec who is in the cell down the way.  Zenbed steps back and the CSec, recognizing Maor keeps his mouth shut.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
Sec: Dispatch a team.

ACTION: Two security officers appear and call Maor down.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
*CO*: We have an intruder on board. Brig area.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods briefly and exits onto the bridge, making her way to the observation lounge::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::heads to her console upon hearing of the intruder alert::

Security says:
XO: Aye, sir.  :: Sends a security team down to the brig.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Aren't our shields up? ::walks faster to the OL::

Security says:
::Begins lock down procedures.::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns around and throws a flash grenade  at the direction of the guards:: Zenbed: Get ready! ::Takes a few steps back toward the direction of the cell::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::raises shields:: CO: They are now.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Throws down his transport enhancer:: Zenbed: Grab it and cover your eyes!

ACTION: The guards cry out, and fall backwards at the intense light.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Powering down the transporter systems in case they try to use it to escape.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::stops in the bridge as she realizes the XO is still there:: XO: Did you send security?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
CO: Of course.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Good idea. And put up some force fields around the area.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his own badge and activates the transporters::

ACTION: Zenbed takes one final look at the Maor before grabbing the transport enhancer and covering his eyes.

CO Capt Gomes says:
All: I suppose they are there for the prisoner ... I am half hearted to let them go but I can't.

ACTION:  Zenbed and Maor are beamed off the ship.

Security says:
*CO*: Captain, Zenbed has been removed from the ship.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::tries to trace the transport::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Shakes his head:: Self: One heck of a way to start my job here, huh...

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/OPS: Find out where to....and by whom.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::lets herself fall on her chair, resting for the first time in a long time:: Self: Maybe I should have stayed with the Orions ...

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
XO/CO: Sirs, I can't trace the transport... I don't know how but there's nothing...

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at OPS:: OPS: Thank you ... this might have been a blessing in disguise.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Lifts an eyebrow with a few thoughts to a few men, one of which she was going to have a very long talk with later.::
