Last time on the Seleya:

The crew was successful in obtaining the Tueghems, though they left behind an enemy, Halik.  As for the Orion Syndicate, while no acknowledgements are given out, they are thankful for the stopping of this part of Halik's plans and no charges or criminations are being sent out.

As they head for the nearest starbase to drop off the Tueghems, the captain goes over the various actions of her crew while she had been kidnapped.  The Tueghems are being taken care of.  New crew is settling in.  And others reflect on this mission or have simply moved on to their daily lives aboard the flag ship, waiting to see what their next mission holds for them.

Captain's log, Stardate 10901.25. We have finished our mission to save the Tueghems and we are still in the aftermath of our strange adventure with a new universe. However, I feel that some of my crew's actions were not to my complete satisfaction and so I have a few questions for them before we reach the base...

<<<<<<<<<< Aftermath >>>>>>>>>

CO Capt Gomes says:
::in her ready room reading over data from the last mission, in particular the crew reports::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Standing on the bridge:: *Senior Officers*: Will all of you report to the bridge, please?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::looks to his combadge:: Self: I was just going there.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Sitting at science, she turns around.::  XO: Sir, the CSO is currently in medical.  He is very ill.  Doc says she will have a report for you soon on his condition.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::at the OPS console console::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: Thank you very much.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
*CO*: Captain, you ready to receive visitors soon?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge:: XO: You rang?

CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Gomes here. I am ready for the crew yes...but they will be anything but visitors. I suggest you get to know the others a little better while you wait.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
CSEC: Yeah. Captain is waiting for you and the OPS in her Ready Room.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::looks up at the CSEC:: CSEC: And so we step before the guillotine...

Aan says:
@ ::Glowers at the mess of cobbled together parts sticking out of the wall of the shuttle and snorts, hitting the sparking panel with the torque-wrench one more time. :: Shuttle: This isn't the can-do attitude I expect from ships, damn pile of rust.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: Probably.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
CSEC/OPS: Good luck.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at the two officers and simply shrugs and gives them both a nod of encouragement before turning back to the first officer.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::quietly:: CSEC: Luck? ::heads to the ready room and rings the bell::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
OPS: If I know Gomes we're going to need it.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: Medical also reports that the Teugems are in stable condition physically, but there is concern for some of their mental state.  Counselling has been called in to help evaluate.  However, there is the problem of this being a new species and they do not have a baseline to work with.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::shrugs as she waits for the answer:: CSEC: Yes Sir No Sir...

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::smiles weakly at the SO::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Nods:: SO: Thank you. I'll head down there myself later on to help things along. I truly miss Sickbay at times.

Aan says:
@:  Disgusted, he stomps back through the dimly lit shuttle to the beat-up pilots chair and plops into it, staring out the window at the slowly spinning stars. ::  Self: Figures....  ::Tosses the torque wrench into the seat behind him, then hits the distress beacon.::  Shuttle: Lets see if anyone finds me before you kill me...

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: Ummm... just so ye know, Dr. Lin is a great doctor, but she can be ummm... very possessive of her realm.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::opens the door from her desk:: OPS/CSec: Come in.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::gestures:: CSEC: After you.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Smiles:: SO: I have a way with people, don't worry.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::steps into the ready room and stands in front of the desk::

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/CSec: Have a seat.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::sits down slowly::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::raises an eyebrow and sits down::

Aan says:
@::Slumps back, pulls his coat closer around himself.  Closes his eyes and listens the hissing and creaking of the slow-drifting shuttle.::  Kesh:  Guess I won't be finding you today Kesh.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/CSec: As you well know, I am deeply concerned by your actions during the time I was abducted on Orion. I read your reports but there are some facts I need to be sure of.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/CSec: First and foremost, it was not clear to me what led you to bring aboard an Orion citizen that so far had been cooperating with you. What was your reasoning?

SO Lt Rose says:
:: slowly nods her head.  He might succeed if he is more human then Vulcan in his personality.  But she keeps that thought to herself.::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Is that what he told you? That he was cooperating?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::looks to the CSEC with a confused look then back to the CO::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSec: I did not actually talk to him. But according to the report he was answering your questions. You disagree? Why was Zenbed brought aboard then?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sits down in his chair::

SO Lt Rose says:
::Frowns as she rethinks that.  Or maybe that should be the other way around...  Shaking her head she turns back around::

Aan says:
@ ::Slows down his breathing and centres his thoughts, hoping against all hope she can hear him.::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: With respect Captain, he claimed to have information as to your possible whereabouts, but refused to give us that information unless we gave him information that apparently only you had... I hardly call that cooperating.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSEC: You do not have to be afraid to correct me on this one. I wasn't there. And this is exactly why I am talking to you. So, he would not give you the information you needed and you brought him aboard to what purpose?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks blankly at the 2 officers waiting for their side of the story::

SO Lt Rose says:
::Her thoughts more on how many ways one can kill the chief of security, she almost misses the brief energy signature.::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::stays silent::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sighs and looks around the bridge::

SO Lt Rose says:
::Taps a few keys on her keyboard to relocate the blip.  Finding it, she works on narrowing it down.::  XO: Sir, I believe I am picking up a distress beacon.  It is hard to tell as it is at the very edge of sensors.  It could also just be a mistake.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Again... with respect... I viewed his attitude to the situation to be rather lax and I believed that this was due to him being in his own home... so we had to remove him from his "safe zone"... otherwise we'd probably never have got any information out of him.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Sir, can we please speak freely?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Looks over:: SO: Well, let's check it out then. Bring us closer.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSec: But you realized what you were doing was illegal?

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Certainly.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: As far as I was concerned Captain, he was obstructing our search.

FCO Drake says:
::nods as Rose sends him the coordinates.::  XO:  Altering course.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: I've only just joined here, and if we're going to get every choice we make questioned, it'll not go very well. We've done the Academy training, we know what we are doing. Our actions were believed the best at the time.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
AOPS: Can we establish contact?

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Of course Mr Ecchumati and the last thing I want is for you to second judge yourself. But in this case a citizen of another planet was taken for questioning against his will. Unless he threatened you, this is illegal by Starfleet standards. I just want to understand your reasoning

OPS Craig says:
XO: Working on it sir.  The signal is getting stronger, but it is still very faint.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: The signal seems to be repeated.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: He threatened your safety, Captain…YOURS. He was with-holding information pertaining to your arrest. That makes him an accomplice. That made him a criminal. That's why we took him.

OPS Craig says:
XO/SO:  Which suggests a beacon.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Thats ... Questionable. But I will grant you that you took him because you thought he was involved in kidnapping me. And if I am asked this is what I will say to defend you. And I will defend you if it comes to that.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSec/OPS: Is that acceptable?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS Craig: Fair enough. Hail them when able.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Thank you. Acceptable? That is your choice.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Not if you had other reasons for his kidnapping. Did you?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: I'd prefer it to being locked in my own brig again. ::smiles::

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: I have a lock on the signal.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: Identification of vessel?

OPS Craig says:
XO: It is a Federation emergency beacon.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: Yes, we decided we wanted to go through the hassle of a court martial by kidnapping an innocent civilian and locking him up in a small isolated room. Forgive my abruptness, but I find the whole thing rather frustrating.

FCO Drake says:
XO: Increasing warp speed.  ETA 15 minutes.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
FCO: Read my mind. Thank you.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I understand Ensign but being a part of Starfleet often involves just that. We have to do what is right but we also have to follow the rule-book. Else we loose everything that makes Starfleet what it is.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS Craig: Alright.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: It is registered as Beach Comber.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::takes that as being an irony and smiles back:: CSec: One last thing then. Regarding your staying in the brig. Are you aware the CSO offered to turn you to the Orion authorities so they would not prosecute us for the kidnapping of Zenbed?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
SO: A shuttle?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: I wasn't but I am now.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
*CO*: Captain, sorry to interrupt, but we received a distress beacon from a shuttle not to far off. It's a Federation shuttle. We're checking it out now, ma'am.

CO Capt Gomes says:
Csec: Then I won't bother you further with it. But I will have you both know that no officer of mine shall be given away to an alien authority under any circumstances. Is that clear?

CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Good, keep me informed.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: That is what it is or was listed as.  From what records show, it was basically 'retired' if you will.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Understood... although I can't guarantee he won't get at least a verbal ear bashing from me. ::grins::

CO Capt Gomes says:
Csec: He will get much more from me...when he is recovered from sickbay.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Did they find out what's wrong with him yet?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSec: I wasn't informed.

CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/Csec: Do you have anything else you want to share?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
CO: No maam.

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Frowns:: SO: Retired? Then what's it doing way out here?

XO Lt Stradiot says:
OPS Craig: Again, Hail the shuttle when able.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: Nothing more here... nice to see you again by the way. ::grins::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::gets up:: OPS/Csec: Thank you for your cooperation. You may resume your normal duties. You are dismissed.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::smiles:: Csec: Its good to have you aboard Trigger.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::leaves silently and heads to her console::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Sees the OPS head to her station:: *CIV*: Your needed in the Captain's ready room.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::smiles and turns on his heels before walking back out of the ready room::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*XO*: On my way, Lieutenant. ::Makes his way toward the nearest TL::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
*CIV*: Thank you, Commander.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::walks to the Science station:: SO: What's been happening out here?

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: Ok... I have found the registered owner... ::frowns as the name seems familiar::  It is registered to a Federation officer on indefinite leave... one Commander A'an Selzah.  Umm... he does not appear to have the greatest record... or at least not recently.  Oh... he was once the first officer of the Seleya.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Points at the beacon reading they are following.::  CSec:  Apparently an old comrade of this vessel.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Parts the TL and makes his way on to the Seleya's bridge:: XO: She's in there, Lieutenant? ::Gestures at the direction of the Captain's ready room::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Blinks at the report and turns to the CIV:: CIV: Yes, Commander. Go right in.

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::asks for an update from OPS Craig::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Apparently so... where's he going?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and takes the last few remaining steps to the Captain's RR doors, activating the door chime::

XO Lt Stradiot says:
::Clears his throat:: CSEC: Evidently not too far at the moment.

SO Lt Rose says:
XO: True... he has not moved.

FCO Drake says:
XO: ETA in 8 minutes.

OPS Craig says:
::stands and moves aside::  OPS:  We are locked onto a Federation beacon.  No specific message beyond the standard SOS.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Strange... are we expecting them?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
OPS Craig: Range?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Come in ::opens the door::

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec:  Not at all... I almost missed the signal.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Enters the Captain's ready room:: CO: Captain. ::Moves to stand in front of the Captain's desk:: You requested a meeting?

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Yes Maor, please have a seat

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: I wonder what they're doing all the way out here in a shuttle.

OPS Craig says:
OPS: We should be within hailing range if they are able to receive.  I was just about to begin.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and takes a seat::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I understand you have trust issues in this crew. Have you solved those or is still a problem?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::wanders over to tactical and runs a full tactical scan of the shuttle to gauge its capabilities::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
OPS Craig: Very well, continue.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Until I discover the reason for the recent leaks then no, Captain. I have not.

SO Lt Rose says:
SO: Ma'am, coming within range.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
::frowns:: Have you detected any life signs on that shuttle?

SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*: Captain, the first officer was called to an emergency.  We are coming within visual range of the shuttle.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: Hail them and assist if necessary.

OPS Craig says:
::Nods and turns to leave::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I can not have you in this crew doing your own plans behind the scenes and leaving everyone else out.

SO Lt Rose says:
OPS: See if they will or in this case, can respond.  Asking them if they need assistance seems almost a definite, but ask that too.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I suggest you solve this trust issues quickly or I am afraid I can not have you aboard anymore ::looks very seriously at him::

FCO Drake says:
::takes the ship out of warp and down to impulse.::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: It appears your presence is required on the bridge, Captain. Perhaps we can continue this discussion on a later date? ::Sighs at the Captain's words:: I do what I consider best for the Federation. ::Raises an eyebrow in surprise at the Captain's words:: Oh? ::Pauses a second to collect his thought:: Am I to understand my judgment is no longer appreciated in this ship, Captain?

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
::sends the message of aid::

OPS Ens Ecchumati says:
SO: Done.

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec:  Lots of duck tape?

Aan says:
@ ::Starts a little at the sputtering commlink and grimaces.::  Self:  Damn, I was just getting comfortable with dying.....

CO Capt Gomes says:
:gets up:: CIV: No Maor, as usual you got it wrong when it comes to realizing what people think of you. You are one of the most efficient officers aboard. What I can not have is you going around like a hero and leaving the rest of the crew in the dark. You have to work with them else there is no point in you being here...but yes we will talk about this later. ::heads out to the bridge::

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: And a few bits of gum too by the look of it... here and here ::points at his display of the shuttle::

SO Lt Rose says:
CSec:  His life support system looks to be failing.

SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*: Life support system is failing.  Permission to simply beam him aboard?

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
SO: Then personally I'd say get min the hell out of there but then I might be accused of kidnap again.

Aan says:
@ ::Taps the keyboard.::  *Seleya*:  Shuttle is dead, a beam-out would be nice.

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Granted!

CO Capt Gomes says:
CSec: Go meet him in the transporter room.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks a bit puzzled at Caelan and then shakes her head as she turns to get a lock on him.::

ACTION: A’an is beamed aboard the Seleya.

CSEC LtJG Trigger says:
CO: On my way. ::runs to the turbolift and orders it to the right deck on the double::

Aan says:
@ ::Looks around and realizes which ship he's been rescued by. ::  All: Figures.....
