Last week on the Seleya:

A dead world... that was what Atra IV now was.  Evidenced even more by the lack of water as the away team had briefly stood on what had once been a beach that stretched off only to drop quickly into great chasms left from the oceans.  The limited amount of oxygen that can no longer be replenished due to no plant life.  The coldness that permeates everything due to the distant white dwarf, the remnant star of this planet, leaving it constantly in twilight.  But even in death stories can be told and secrets kept.  Above and below, the crew of the Seleya have begun that search.

Quickly the dust has settled from the being stirred by the ATV driven by the CTO and OPS.  For a brief moment in time they are given a taste of freedom as they quickly raced through the city, speed making them a harder target to hit, to the highest point, a skyscraper from which they had some advantage of height to survey the area.

For a city eons old, this is one of the rare ones who have stood the test of time thanks to many of the factors that cause erosion are gone or limited.  But even in death, things are not static.  The doctor has begun more active scans wanting anyone who might come across them to believe the illusion this is a simply archaeological venture of three civilizations.

Parked before the building that looks as if it was built to touch the skies, the archaeologist begin their work and the others prepare to climb the steps leading up and within...

Captain's log, Stardate 11004.25. The away team is on the planet and we are in orbit, both looking for sign sof the kidnappers. At the same time, we will continue gathering information on the ancient Atrian civilization. I wonder which we will find first

<<<<<<<<<< Reunion of a Past V>>>>>>>>>>

 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::sitting in her chair at the bridge::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around him at the away team members:: CTO: Take point, Commander. Have one of your security officers take the rear and we'll start heading up the stairs, assuming this building even have them.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::a little away from the rest of the team, scanning some writing on the wall::
SO Lt Rose says:
@:: Patiently, a requirement she vaguely remembered some long ago instructure telling her was needed, she scanned the surface of the planet, working in the area of the away team.::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
CIV:  Yes sir.  ::directs one of his team to cover their six then heads into building.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Were we able to flood the system with particles yet?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  Soon... engineering is ready, just waiting for the sun to give off a flare to hide it among.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::returns to meet with the rest of the team:: CIV: Are we all going in?
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Joins the group entering the skyscraper, his mind once again on the job, free of the distracting rush of their earlier ride in the buggies::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: SO: Good
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Turns slowly outward from where the buggies are parked, taking slow sweeps with her tricorder, looking for order among chaos or is it chaos among order::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Follows the CTO, phaser at ready:: All: We're moving people, look sharp. ::Nods at the direction of the SO:: SO: Yes, Lieutenant. We might get better results once we're up there.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Enters the building flanked by TO Derfel and  checks the area to the right as Derfel checks left::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Did you find anything alive out there?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Scan for anything out of place, Doctor. See if you can find any surprises anyone has left behind or even organic residue that might indicate someone was recently here.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Tries to keep the annoyance from her voice as she answers::  CIV/SO: Nothing organic yet, but the scans are very preliminary at this point sir.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Keep at it then, Doctor. ::Glances around them:: OPS: Think we're being monitored from somewhere, Lieutenant?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::frowns her antennae as she senses something in the CMO's voice:: CMO: I have exciting stuff. I still have to run it through the translator but these writings on the buildings seem like a mix of Talarian and Cardassian. Like a ... missing link
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Stops as she concentrates her scans on a nearby stairwell::  CIV: Over here commander
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks around the place as they walk around the place:: CIV: I don't have any evidence of that, at the moment. It's possible of course...
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Hold on, Commander. ::Makes his way to the CMO:: CMO: What did you find?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Stops moving into the building and holds position::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
:: looks over the staircase the CMO is pointing to::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Evidence of epidural cells, and a finger print in the dust on the stairwell
SO Kpok says:
the Klingon turns to the rest of the team with something in his hand:: All: This is ...curious
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Scans for DNA fragments in the epidural cells, trying to get a species match::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::turns to the door where Kpok is entering the building:: Kpok: what is it?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Turns toward Kpok to see what he found.::
SO Kpok says:
All: I believe its the remains of a ...cigarette. And its certainly younger than these buildings

Scenery:  Darkness awaits those that go inside the building.  A stray bit of faint light from the windows picks out objects.  In many ways, it resembles many government buildings seen around the system.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CMO: Can you determine when the finger print got there?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::turns on her hand light::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Relatively speaking, I would say recently,  I am picking up traces of multiple DNA donors, Talarians, Human, and Orion donors,
SO Kpok says:
::approaches the CMO and hands him the cigarette butt:: CMO: Maybe you can find some more DNA here
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Flips on light on his phaser rifle and using its light to probe deeper into the gloom of the building.;:
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO: Atmospheric pressure change... looks like a dust storm may be forming a few km from the city.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CMO:: CMO: I'm assuming you don't detect any life signs nearby, so we'll work under the assumption that whoever was here is long gone by now. ::Turns toward the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Let's continue, Commander. Watch for anything out of place, we'll move slower.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Do you predict it to be dangerous?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Pulls a headlamp from her medical bag, and places it around her hear so the light points to where she is looking, aiding her eyes to see what her tricorder has picked up.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Still looking around, his eyes starting to get used to the darkness::
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  No... more an inconvenience if it blows over the city.  There are some mountains in the vicinity... I would guess those mountains have helped to protect the city.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Looks at the butt,::  Self : Disgusting, ::scans it for DNA::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
CIV:  Going up sir?  ::moves toward the staircase::
 
Scenery:  Located in the center of the room is a huge statuary.  As lights play across it, it is noted the faces have been 'erased' by phaser fire.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CTO::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::thinks for a moment:: SO: I think its better to break radio silence for this. I don't want them to be caught off guard ::punches a button on her chair::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*CIV*: Seleya to Maor
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up surprised at the sound of the Captain:: *CO*: Maor here, Captain. Is anything wrong? 
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Commander, gross life signs can be masked, I would not assume they are long gone, nor necessarily gone very far even if they are.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*CIV*: Not yet. There is a storm heading your way. It doesn't look dangerous but you might want to stay in doors.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Can you give us an estimation until it hits our current location, Captain?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::approaches the statue at teh center of the room and starts scanning::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@:looks at the SO, assuming she heard the CIV's question::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
All: This statue was damaged on purpose ... and quite recently too. ::runs her hands over the state as if that could tell her something extra::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Since she can hear the Commander talking with the Seleya decides to use this opportunity to transmit the DNA profiles she has collected from her tricorder to the Science station on the Seleya,  hoping the piggy back signal will lesson there chance of getting caught::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: An analysis of the cell decomposition suggest in the neighborhood of years since they were deposited.
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  If it hits their area, in about 20 minutes.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: Can you give me a hand here?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*CIV*: Twenty minutes
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Moves over to the statue::  SO:  What do we have here?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: This statue was destroyed by recent fire. I am wondering if you can figure out what sort of weapon was used
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain. We've uncovered organic residue and recent clues to the presence of people in this area, they seem to be armed as well. Will update once we have more. Returning to radio silence, Maor out. ::Closes the channel:: 
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  I'll see what I can do.  ::pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning the statue, looking for traces of the type of energy signature left by the weapon::
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  Incoming information from the doctor.  She has found evidence of at least three recent visitors... Orion, talarian and human, so far.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::takes a deep breath:: SO: At least they are making progress
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks over as Mariluah and Heller talk:: CTO/SO: Odd.. What species do you think was represented, before the... Alteration?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Alright. That is something we can use. I didn't expect the orions to be involved. But given we may be talking about slavery it makes perfect sense. Do we have records of any orion activity in the area?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Waits for the results from the CTO's scans::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: I took the opportunity while you had an open line with the Seleya to transmit the DNA data to them.  The computers on board should be able to provide us with much more information then my tricorder can.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
OPS: I can only think of one, the Atrians. What other species would they be showing on the main room of one of their main buildings?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CMO:: CMO: Understood, Doctor. Next time consult with me before you do it. ::Continues waiting::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Gets the results on his tricorder.::  CIV/SO:  The energy signature left behind by the weapon appears to be from a Talarian phaser.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
SO: For all we know, this was their trade ministry, if they had one. They might honour their trade partners or allies with statues.
SO Lt Rose says:
@CO:  Slavery or sacrifice... they have to get the victims... how better then Orion slave traders?  Looks like the docs intuition was on track.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::nods:: All: That matches the group found by the Dr.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: SO: I agree. Starfleet must have some Orions on file. Send these DNA scans ... lets see if we can match it to anyone in the database.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CIV: Understood commander
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Wonders how to consult with someone who is engaged with a conversation, that as soon as it is over will loose them the opportunity to do what needs to be done, shrugs it off and continues her scans of the area::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
OPS: Possible, yet unlikely
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::remembers something, and goes find the CMO::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CMO: Do you think we have any chance of finding DNA from the people who lived in these buildings?
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: The degradation of time would make finding more the fragments near impossible, unless there was a stragler and we found a whole corpse or remains.
SO Lt Rose says:
@:: nods and sends a data package to starfleet.::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: Anything we do find, would only be a few years old at most.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::her antennae turn down as she considers that:: CMO: I see. All the archeological evidence points to the atrians being the missing link between cardassians and talarians. But a DNA sample would make a much stronger point.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CTO, All: Unless someone has any objections we want to start making our way up.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Shrugs:: SO: Just a thought... ::Looks around the lobby again, a faint suspicion taking hold of him::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: A graveyard, assuming they bury their dead, would be your best chance at finding that kind of data.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Nods to Moar and heads toward the staircase, instructing one of his security team to remain on this floor and cover the exits.::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CMO: Good idea. ::lowers her voice:: CMO: Do you think he will let us if I asked? ::points discretely at the CIV::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
CTO: Pace yourself commander, the air is thin enough down here, we dont need you passing out up there
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Follows the CTO::
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
SO: You can ask, but then we have the task of locating a graveyard, even if we did know for certainty what they did with there dead.  Not all cultures preserve the dead many cremate or use other means that would make DNA impossible
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Notices the team getting together again and joins them::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::nods:: CMO: I guess we have to keep looking ::follows the rest of the team up the stairs::
