Last week on the Seleya:

At Starbase 129 the captain found Ambassador Erant respectful of her position, polite and as open as he could be.  Both his Talarian government and the Cardassian were trying to avoid a conflict with each other as well as the Federation.  Doctor T'Rae has sent very valid suggestions to the captain on her observations concerning the ambassadors behavior which is out of context for his culture as well as his belief they were dealing with slavers.

Commander Heller and his team roamed the station for four hours, hitting the various bars for the main purpose of gathering information.  There were a couple of close incidents that had nothing to do with gathering information.  As Dylan and the others noted, as usual with fact gathering, there was information that might be useful but it was tied into hearsay and probably had grown in the telling.  The one thing they could say, was there was tension in the area.  If it had been just from the others, it could be placed at the feet of the Cardassian, but even they were tense and distrustful of the Beloti sector.

Two days later, the ship has entered the Atra system and about fifteen minutes from Atra IV.

Captain's log, Stardate 11004.11. We are minutes away from the Atra system. I trully hope we will find some information on the kidnappers. If we don't, I don't have anywhere else to look

<<<<<<<<<< Reunion of a Past III>>>>>>>>>>

 CO Capt Gomes says:
::enters the bridge, coming from her ready room. Heads for her chair and sits::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: At her station on the bridge, she looks up as the captain enters::  CO:  Captain, I am reading warp trails in the area, ranging in age.  For a place that is basically taboo, they should not be here... and definitely not so many.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::At his station on the bridge, looking at the view screen, their destination still a little in the distance::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: Maybe they are here exactly because its Tabu. Do any of the planets in the system have animal or sentient life?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Nothing so far and I do not expect anything.  The system has basically been dead for eons.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Finishes off reviewing the requisitions that were filled at Starbase.  Relieved to see that they had everything she needed.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: But are any of the planets still capable of supporting life? If we were to go down would we need EVA suits?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/CIV: Mr Pandora, Mr Maor, I want you to start looking for hidden bases or technology as soon as you can
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Stands and stretches, maybe a walk to the bridge would do her some good.  Nods to the duty nurse on her way out and informs her where she will be in case she is needed.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  According to records, it has an atmosphere... very thin but still breathable.  Just don't plan on any sprinting.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods again:: All: Lets see what we have. Unfortunately they will see us come in as well. Sometimes I wouldn't mind having a cloaking device
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: CO: Yes, Captain. ::Returns his attention back to his console to sync his own console with the operation officer's one::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Frowns at the results of the most recent scans:: CO: Captain, I am picking up signs of some sort of intruder warning system in place here...
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Steps off the turbo lift on to the bridge, taking in the sights and sounds around her::  Self: Now this is more like it.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I am not reading any life signs in the area.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Are we anywhere near its activation range yet?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Glances at the lift and nods a greeting to the arrival of T'Rea::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks over as the CMO arrives:: CMO: I am glad to see you Dr TRae. I could use your experience on this
OPS Lt Pandora says:
CO: I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to have been triggered yet, but at the moment I can't read an activation range on it either.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Very well
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CO: No one looks ill Captain, what experience would you be needing ::smiles ever so slightly so the Captain doesn't take her words as insolence::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps a few buttons to get a more accurate scan of the area the systems are located in, hoping not to trigger them but at least to find more information about it::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Continue scanning it, try to find out what triggers it. I won't stop yet
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Odd... my scans did not even pick it up.  Not good.  :: locating the area in question, she adjust sensors::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: Its not the kind you learn at the academy. I read your report and found it quite insightful. You told me you came across groups such as this in your life. How to they operate? How can we find them?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: This is not good
 CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Full stop!
SO Lt Rose says:
:: More to herself::  Ahhh... passive... that is why.
FCO Drake says:
CO:  Aye, captain, full stop.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in satisfaction at the results from his console:: CO: Captain, I think I've found a way to bypass the intrusion detection subroutine. With the OPS's help I should be able to bypass it in a few minutes assuming my theory is sound. 
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO:  Unfortunately Captain, you do not.  At least not in a state of the art Starfleet vessel.  More then likely they will find you in this case.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the OPS and sends him his preliminarily calculations::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: That's not a bad thing altogether. But I am assuming they do not want to be found, in which case we have to look for them. The problem is I am not exactly sure what to look for.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks over to Maor has he hears the CIV refer to him, then nods in acknowledgement::
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS/CIV:  I have three more around the general area.  The set up seems if you don't activate the one, you will another.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: They will have a perimeter alert system, but tripping that usually does not bring about anything deadly.  Its usually a first look.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: Friends will typically have a call sign, the right way of rigging your running lights, the right subspace message at just the right time, that sort of thing
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: I believe we might be able to track the subroutine to the actual function that calls it, Lieutenant. Hopefully we'll be able to prevent the entire subroutine from ever getting triggered.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: Enemies will usually be ignored, unless they accidentally get to close or plain get too nosey.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: That makes sense. Its too bad we don't have information to mimic one. I am not afraid of being attacked. I'm afraid they will flee once they spot us
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at Rose:: SO: Staggered detection grid, clever... No blind areas anywhere?
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  Not large enough for a ship.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: For a probe then?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: I doubt one ship will trigger a mass evacuation, but I suggest we immediately broadcast our presence in the open to startfleet.  Let them know we have arrived.  It will let the pirates know, that others know we are here
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: CMO: Good idea. Even though I would still be surprised if they can match a sovereign class ship
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS, SO: You two are missing the entire point here, we don't need to stop the detection grid. We just need to nullify whatever happens when the system is actually triggered. ::Finishes working on the program:: CO: With your permission I can execute the code?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Shuttle or probe.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Go ahead. And lets hope they don't detect it
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at the SO:: SO: Lets try Maor's program for now
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Keeps an eye on the communications monitor as Maor executes his program::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
OPS: I would suggest monitoring the lower RF bands, since they are not used very often, pirates frequently make use of them for communications they do not want picked up on the subspace bands.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods and turns his attention toward the OPS's direction:: OPS: Going to need your help with the deflector dish, Lieutenant. Going to need to relay the data on a low enough frequency.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the CMO, thanking him:: CIV: Alright, just call the numbers. ::Smiles at him briefly, before turning back to the console::
SO Lt Rose says:
CMO:  Are we dealing with pirates then?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Forwards the necessary data to the OPS's console::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Whatever the outcome I will need to scan deeper into the system. Wasn't it Atra IV where this civilization was supposed to exist? Can you scan the planet from this distance for signs of old buildings or technology. 
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: We are dealing with those who do not want there presence known, and who want to know who is in the area.  Maybe not pirates,  but I wouldn't rule them out
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods to the captain::  CO:  No life signs as of yet.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CMO: They probably managed to hide those too
SO Lt Rose says:
CMO:  Given what we heard back on the station, they had best home some folks do not find them.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO:  If that is our cover story, then I would suggest we go directly there.  Act as if we didn't see there detection grid, and not  raise any alarms just  yet.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at the data and starts reconfiguring the deflector dish accordingly::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: At this stage the less we look like a threat, probably the better.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CMO: I am not trusting they will buy the cover story. But you are right, we will move in to Atra IV. I just want to give Mr Maor a chance to fool their grids. They are not supposed to be here so there is nothing wrong in preventing them from working. 
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It is believed that there were a couple of civilized planets here, Atra IV was just the furthest away and survived in tact their suns expansion.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: Understood Captain, and it never hurts to be able to use what your enemy perceives as their strength against them
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That still makes it the likeliest to find anything
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: CMO: I understand and you may very well be right. Its just that in the end of the day its always a gamble and you never know the other player's hand
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up:: CO: Unless you cheat, Captain.
SO Lt Rose says:
CIV:  How does cheating show you the other players hand?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
SO: If you do it good enough you won't need to, Lieutenant. 
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CO: Well, that's exactly what you are trying to do, is it now? How far until we have results?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: if it is true that they have been operating in this area for some time then there defenses are probably formidable and well entrenched.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Finishing inputting the parameters to deflector control:: CIV: All set, commander.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: frowns, not at all understanding... which is just as well she is the science officer.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Execute. ::Watches the results from his own console::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::sits back taking a deep breath:: All: Lets see what happens ....
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CO: They may even be employing a keeper grid.  Defenses that are inert until we pass them, but then activate behind us to prevent escape.  I have seen that in a number of shall we say less reputable systems.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Activates the new deflector dish configuration and waits for the data feed::
 
ACTION: As the signal is sent, there is a brief flash that quickly settles.

 CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: That is probably not a good thing
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/CIV: Report!
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO, OPS: We're starting to get results, standby.
SO Lt Rose says:
CMO:  Seems you have lived a ummm.... interesting life.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: I was a freighter brat, in more ways then one.  I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: smiles::  CMO:  My hair does not need any more curls thank you.  But there is a problem with that idea.  If we did not get back, the federation would send more people and they would come in firing.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks from the console to the view screen, then back at the console, looking at the incoming data::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO, OPS: Something is happening, the data was successfully integrated with the original code. Phase two is starting.. Now.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: That is why I suggested we send arrival notification to the federation.  Make it less likely that they will use that technique.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO, OPS: Program just finished, everything checks okay. ::Checks his results again:: We should be able to pass through the sensor grid safely now.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Very well. Lets see what happens then
 CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Send a message to Starfleet that we are entering the Atra system
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at Maor:: CIV: Can I revert deflector control to normal status?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Take us in to Atra IV. Engage when ready
FCO Drake says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  Entering in at impulse.  ETA five minutes.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO, OPS: Keep in mind that the actual sensor grid wasn't deactivated, I fully expect something to happen once we enter the grid's detection grid, it just shouldn't do anything with the actual detection. ::Nods at the OPS's direction::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Walks over to the science station:: SO I would suggest a change in tactic, continue scanning for life as you have been, but also scan for shall we say voids.  Any shield strong enough to mask life signs would also black normal detectable activity like background radiation, plant life that sort of thing.  Look for what's not there as well as what is there.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the captain and sends starfleet a status update, then notices the CIV's nod and reverts the changes he made to deflector control::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Prepare an away team to go down to Atra IV. You should take some archeologists with you but also anyone capable of looking for signs of the kidnappers
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods as she narrows her sensors, entering the command for notification of any 'blank' spots::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Understood, Captain. ::Turns his attention toward the CMO and the OPS's direction:: CMO, OPS: Doctor, Lieutenant. You're with me once we get to the planet's surface.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Understood Commander, I will run to sickbay to get my med kit, and meet you in the transporter room.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: CIV: Aye commander.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO:  When I get my tricorder, I will sync it with you and your station.  That way while I am scanning specifics you can be feeding me the broader bio map, or lack of it as the case may be.
SO Lt Rose says:
CMO:  Got it.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV/OPS/CMO: Good luck and keep me informed
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::walks over to the Captain and whispers::  CO: Is there anything specifically I should be looking for  ::Leaves unsaid, or anyone::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::opens her mouth as if she would say something but then closes her mouth:: CMO: No, just find what you can about these kidnappers. Any moment that passes they get someone else.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::nods as much at what is not said as what is said::  CO: Aye aye sir.  ::heads off to get her gear::
