Last week on the Seleya:

The Seleya created the illusion of a solar flare from the distant star of the Altra system to hide a tachyon burst.  With this, they located two locations on the planet giving off energy signatures.  One is not far from where the team originally landed and the other is located in the second largest city.  The captain is sending a team to the secondary city lead by science officer Hakkinen with the rest of the team filled by security officers.  They should be ready to beam down in 20 minutes.

An Orion ship entered the system and left as soon as contact was made by the Seleya.  But not before they sent a signal, a single code word with no obvious meaning to the starship officers.  But shortly after the sending, some activity is noted near what once had been the docks and not far from where the team originally landed.  Also a faint energy signature is noted, a door opened  The place also matches the energy source found by the tachyon burst.

The DNA evidence gathered by the ATeam finds at least two matches in the data bank.  One is a handsome Orion but with eyes cold as death.  He is man of no scruple noted with an addendum, shoot to kill.  The other is a high ranking talarian official, governor of one of their provinces, Sandar.  Another man one did not want to mess with.

High up the tallest building in the city, the ATeam slowly walked the perimeter seeing across the entire city.  They discovered more evidence of others having been their in the recent past.  Also discovered was a chip attached to a statue with some gum.  It has been identified it as Marco Gomes.  The message is innocent enough, sent to his sister, but embedded within are coordinates and names of those involved.  The list has been sent to Starfleet.

With the fair certainty their cover has been blown, silence is broken and the away team is beamed down to the base of the stairs instead of spending hours before they can begin their hunt.

Captain's log, Stardate 11005.23. The away team found more elements on the ground and we now have the location of a few criminal locations and some of the names involved. Two of the locations are on the planet we are orbiting I sent the names to Starfleet and a second away team to the surface. The two teams will investigate the two locations. We will continue to operate under the pretense of an archeological investigation. But it will get harder and harder to keep the cover.

Commander's Maor duty log: We're en route to the location where we've detected the vehicle just a few clicks away from our current location, from their location and behavior we're working under the assumption we've been detected. Hopefully we'll be able to figure a game play once we'll get closer to them. We just have to hope they didn't uncover our cover story yet.

<<<<<<<<<< Reunion of a Past VII>>>>>>>>>>

 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::sitting in her chair at the bridge::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: At her station going through the data sent them and keeping an eye on the away team.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Did the tachyon sweep reveal anything in orbit?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: looks over her shoulder::  CO:  Just the two locations... nothing else... at least above surface.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Do you see the Commander? ::Glances around him:: He should be pretty close to them by now. ::Checks his PADD:: Hopefully he'll be able to flank them undetected.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::sitting next to the CTO on the buggy, following the others::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::driving the second buggy trying to find a way to get a flanking position on area they had spotted the movement.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::At the wheel of the buggy, keeping his eyes on the road ahead, looking for possible ambush locations:: CIV: Not yet, he should be somewhere on our right, I think...
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::has been overly quiet:: CTO: Do you think they will shoot us?
 
Scenery:  The two buggies make their way back to their original landing site at a much slower pace then their arrival.  Dust rises and quickly settles behind them in the dim light of the dying star.  The wind picks up, adding an eeriness to the sites, almost as if the ghosts of the past watched them pass by.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: OPS: Slow down, don't want to rouse their suspicions. ::Taps his badge:: *CTO*: Maor to Heller.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  I'm not sure but I always prep for the worst, if they are hiding this much seems likely they won't look kindly on us coming at them.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*CIV*:  Heller here.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: Hummm ... ::goes quiet again::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Lifts his foot from the accelerator a little:: CIV: Aye sir.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: I was expecting them to have ships in orbit
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: We're going to make contact, Commander. Stop at 2 clicks from their last known location and be ready to provide support on your discretion. 
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  But if they start shooting take cover me and my men will take care of it, it's what we do.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::nods briefly:: CTO: Yes sir
 
ACTION:  As they return to what had once been a port, things have not changed.  There is still the vast basin that once had held an ocean.  And along the rim, the warehouses still stand in silent watch as if waiting.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Keeps his eyes on the road, not sure if he's happy to be the first contact for whoever it is they are going to find::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises up from his seat, trying to see something with all the dust flying around them:: OPS: Do you see them? ::Turns around to face the sides of the car::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*CIV*:  Yes sir
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Slows done the buggy as get closer to the area, looking for somewhere to set up covering position.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  There is evidence of ship trails.  But to keep ships here constantly may not be wise given this place is technically off limits.  And maybe that Orion ship is supposed to be in orbit... maybe a supply ship.  :: she frowned::  or bringing more cargo.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::looks around:: CTO: It looks the same as when we arrived
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Shakes head as he glances towards the sides, to take a look for them:: CIV: Probably for the best too. If they keep out of sight, they might be able to surprise these guys..
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Whichever the case, this is a tactical advantage for us. They are basically on their own there.
 
ACTION:  Not far ahead, the stirring of dust settling can be seen.  There is a door open.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
CTO: There is an energy spike ... there ::points to the open door:: CTO: Whatever is inside is emitting energy
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Not the Commander's car, the people we're looking for. ::Pauses as he sees something just ahead of us:: There. ::Points at the direction of the warehouse:: *CTO*: Commander, be advised that we may have found someone.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  I have something near the AT intended location.  I am reading two life signs... both human.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Inform the away team. Just in case they didn't realize it
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: CIV: I see it... ::Keeps their speed constant, adjusting their course slightly, so as not to make it look like they're heading for the dust cloud directly::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS, All: Phasers down, we don't want to appear dangerous for now. ::Sits down again:: OPS: Wonder if they'll buy it. ::Removes his seat belt as they begin to slow down::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*CIV*:  We are picking up an energy spike from the area of a warehouse up ahead, the door 
appears to be open.  ::Pulls the buggy to a stop out of site as he sees something else.::  *CIV*: Sir I see a vehicle near the building, someone is packing stuff into it.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: That's where we're headed, Commander. We're minutes away from it.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ *AT*:  I am picking up at least two life signs at your heading.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Starts slowing down as they approach one of the warehouses::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*CIV*: I am setting up a position to the right of your approach, should be able to cover you from here.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::whispers for some reason:: CTO: Just tell me where to go
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*SO*: We're making contact, Lieutenant. Be advised.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  They are about to make contact.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: SO: Keep a lock on them just in case
SO Lt Rose says:
@ ::nods::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Exits the buggy and directs his team to spread out and stay out of sight.::  SO:  Keep scanning the area, keep near me and let me know if you detect anything else.  ::Pulls his sniper rifle out of his buggy and slings it over his shoulder.::
aOPS Andersson says:
@::Frowns as one of the communication systems starts blinking:: CO: Captain, incoming message from admiral Harlan.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Brings the buggy to a stop and looks around for a moment::
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::nods and grabs her tricorder. Then tells the other scientists to stay low:: CTO: I will be right behind you ::begins active scanning of the area ahead::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@aOPS: On screen
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Let's go, no sudden moves. ::Makes his way toward the entrance to the warehouse::
aOPS Andersson says:
@ ::Presses a few buttons to put the message on the main viewer:: CO: On screen, aye.
SO Lt Mariluah says:
::whispers:: CTO: I can't scan much. There is obviously a dampening field around this area. We were only able to scan anything because they opened the door.
 
#ACTION:  On the screen appears the familiar face of Admiral Harlan, her facial expression giving nothing away.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Gets out of the buggy, trying to make it look casual, and follows Maor::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::straightens up, almost at attention:: COM: Harlan: Admiral, do you have news for us?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Works his way back around the corner of the building and regains line of site on the vehicle and building, finding a building with easy access to the second floor with windows facing the warehouse.::
 Admiral Harlan says:
#COMM:  CO:  Starfleet has received the data you sent us.  If all of it is true, this is not a simple operation to end overnight.  You will need to proceed with caution.  Mainly what we need from you right now is evidence.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Motions toward the side of the building where a vehicle is being loaded::
 
ACTION:  A human, dressed comfortably moves out of the main building to stand at those approaching.  He has a rifle in hand, but his body language says he is relaxed.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Sets up on a window facing the window doing his best to stay out of site from anyone looking his direction, checks his team to ensure they are in position.::  *CIV*:  Me and my team are in position, we should be able to cover you fairly well from here if anything goes wrong.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: Harlan: I understand. But, if possible, I want to dismantle the operations in this system. I have reason to believe they are holding at least one Federation citizen here, maybe more
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: ::Quietly:: Understood, Commander. Coded messages until further notice.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Keeps walking as he sees the man coming out::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Person: Hello. ::Glances around them, trying to appear curious::
 Admiral Harlan says:
# :: For a moment she stares at the captain and then nods her head, meaning between the words she does not say::  COMM:  CO:  Understand... proceed with caution.  But remember, the evidence must be un-tampered with or it will take more then years to close this down.
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Unslings his rifle and sights down it and surveys the area through the scope.::
 Jarod says:
:: Nods a greeting with a smile::  CIV:  Starfleet... what brings you to this dead world?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Not wanting to interrupt the captain.::  *CTO*:  I am picking up three vehicles leaving your general vicinity.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: Harlan: Understood.
 
@ ACTION:  With an understanding nod to Gomes, the line is closed.

CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::curses under his breath that he missed them::  *SO*:  Understood.  ::Sends a coded message to commander Maor informing him of the leaving vehicle.::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*SO*:  Where are they now?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::as the com ends, she returns to her chair:: SO: Is the away team still near these life forms? I have something to tell them but I don't want to do it while they are talking
SO Lt Rose says:
@ *CTO*:  About 3 km, heading through the city.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Maybe we can send a message to Pandora's tricorder  .... ::as she finishes, her chair chirps::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  They are near at least one of them.
SO Hakkinen says:
@*CO*: Hakkinen to Gomes. We are ready to transport
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*SO*:  Thank you Lt.  ::Sends a coded message to Maor letting him know where the other vehicles are at the moment.::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses in front of him, nodding at his direction:: Jarod: Lieutenant Pandora, ::Gestures toward the direction of the OPS:: Commander Maor. Got to say, I never thought I'd find a humanoid on this planet. ::Wipes his brow with a piece of cloth:: We're here on behalf of the Tallarian government on an archaeological mission. Find out what happened to all the civilizations that created everything around us. Good findings so far.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@*Hakkinen*: Aknowledge. Remember your primary mission is to gather information. It is now imperative that you do so with the least interference ... this just turned into a court case. nevertheless, if you find a way to rescue the ages, do so.
 SO Hakkinen says:
@*CO*: Acknowledged
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@aOPS: Beam the second away team when ready.
 Jarod says:
CIV:  Really...  I must admit, I never thought the Tallarians would allow anyone officially in here, not that they really have too much say as they do not claim it.  :: smiles::  No one seems to want to claim it.  And while it may not hold life, it still holds lots of resources.
aOPS Andersson says:
@ ::Nods at the captain's order and releases the transporter systems for transporter room 2 to start beaming down the second team::
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in agreement:: Jaord: That's why you're here? ::Glances around once again:: Because I gotta say, I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want to come here otherwise.
 
%ACTION:  The second away team, looking like another expedition of scientists, is beamed down to the second largest city.  Their landing location is about 5 km from the energy signature picked up by the tachyon particles.

SO Lt Mariluah says:
::still whispering and scanning:: CTO: Well, so far so good
 Jarod says:
CIV: Artifacts that are real are top dollar on the market.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::gets up:: aOPS: I need to send a message to Pandora's tricorder. Can we do that?
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
::Keeps his scope on the person talking to commander Maor::  SO:  So far except for the vehicles that left before we got here, i wonder what was in them.
aOPS Andersson says:
@CO: I'm sure we can... I can't guarantee he will see it right away, but we can at least send it.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  I have five vehicles on sensors, but I am unable to get a lock on them.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow in wonderment:: Jarod: A Dollar? Now that's a word I haven't  heard in a long, long time. You must be serious about your stuff. ::Pauses for a second or so:: So, found anything interesting? Maybe we can exchange data for our mutual benefit, save us some time so we can get out of this planet faster.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::nods:: aOPS: This is the text I want to send, coded. "The tentacles of this operation reach deep. The mission is one for gathering untampered evidence to be used in court. But, if possible, I want to dismantle the operation on this planet"
CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Are they converging on the away team?
 Jarod says:
:: Shrugs::  CIV:  Items interesting enough.  Though not as much as one might hope for.  These people left little behind.  They left knowing they would not return.  ::shrugs::  Makes what we do find even rarer.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  Exact opposite... they are heading deeper into the city.
aOPS Andersson says:
@CO: Alright. ::Copies down the text and puts it in a message, addressed to Pandora's tricorder, and sets it to give an alert sound when received:: Sending...
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Odd. Are they running away?
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Hears a low beeping from the tricorder on his waist belt and takes it out, wondering what it might be::
 
%ACTION: Hakkinen reports in from the second away team that all is clear and they have begun setting up.

SO Lt Mariluah says:
::starts relaxing:: CTO: The CIV seems to be handling this. Maybe we can follow the other vehicles?
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Jarod: Yeah, I can imagine. Tell you the truth we didn't even know you were here, was a stroke of luck we detected your car from where we were. Lieutenant Pandora here says that he couldn't detect anything from around here, me, I think the damn sand got in our instruments and wrecked havoc with them. Which reminds me, you don't happen to have any water you can share with us? We've already finished our water supply an
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
d I'd hate to impose our ship resources by sending us another batch.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@::receives Hakkinen's report::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Sees the message and looks around for a moment, as if looking for something that might have caused the tricorder to trigger::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO: If it were me and I thought I was discovered... I would say yes.  At the same time, you would think they had the place fairly secure... they have a cloaking field around it.
 Jarod says:
:: Lifts a brow, keeping the friendly expression on his face.::  CIV:  Water around here comes at a high price.  :: shifts slightly::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO:  Sounds reasonable but I'll need to get a clear from Maor, don't want to leave him without support if he is expecting it..  ::Sends a coded message to Maor asking if he wants him to stay and cover him or leave some of his team behind and follow after the other vehicles.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Yes...there is something else going on. I wish I could send another away team ... but that is too dangerous :: stops as something comes to her mind:: SO: What about this ceremony they are rumored to be conducting. Could that be where those vehicles are going?
SO Lt Mariluah says:
SO: Definitely. I wouldn't dream of upsetting Maor. He would probably vaporize us
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Jarod: Didn't think otherwise. Maybe we can work on some for of an agreement? ::Nods toward the direction of the warehouse:: We can discuss the terms in there maybe? Get out of the damn sand for a few minutes.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ CO:  At this point it would all be speculation.  I am more of a mind that the Orions sent them a warning... then again, maybe we interrupted something scheduled.
Jarod says:
:: Bounces lightly on his feet::  CIV:  Well now, Commander, I guess I can accommodate you on that.  Perhaps persuade you to buy a few items...
 CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: we may never know. I think for now I will let Maor handle this. Keep an eye on those vehicles. Maybe when they reach their destination it will be more obvious what they are up to
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
SO: Probably, I've sent him a message now we just wait and see how he wants to proceed.
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
Jarod: Much obliged. I'll just be a second, need to inform our second team and I'll be right in. I'm sure the Lieutenant here will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding what we found so far. ::Moves away toward the buggy::
 Jarod says:
:: Turns to look at the other starfleet officer::  OPS:  So... how long have you been here?
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at Jarod:: Jarod: A few hours ago, I believe. I haven't really kept track of time much.. But yeah, must have been a few hours ago now...
CIV Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: Commander, I've received your message. We're about to enter the warehouse, maybe see about getting some sensor enhancers in there, hopefully find out what is causing the sensor dampening. Give us ten minutes, if we're not out by then get backup and get inside the warehouse.
Jarod says:
:: simply nods his head and turns toward the entrance.::
CTO LtCmdr Heller says:
*CIV*:  Understood will keep position here and bring in the cavalry if needed.  Will keep you informed if anything happens out here.
