Last time on the Seleya...

An away team, lead by the captain safely landed on the dead planet.  What they have discovered so far brings sadness and fear.  There are no living but bodies strewn about in obvious defense of the base.  The compounds power still works as does their comm unit which was activated, but a message never sent.  As was their sensor recording in which the battle was reviewed, but the combatants, other then noting they were humanoid, their uniforms prevented any further identification, nor do the weapon signatures help.

Inside the shuttle the FCO waits for further orders, prepared for what he does not know.  Walking around the compound and checking the bodies are the CTO and doc.  With the captain, are the other two security officers, her science officer and the ambassador.  They have walked almost a km, heading for their destination.  And as for the ship, the first officer is looking into what happened to the USS Pleiades.

=/\= Classified =/\= Captain's log, Stardate 11009.19. We are heading to the Guardian of forever. I expect to find more evidence of the attackers there, and hopefully to unravel their plan. Who would use such violence over a time machine? And Why? =/\= Classified =/\=

<<<<<<<<<< The Last Ones III >>>>>>>>>>

 CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks ahead, trying to spot the Guardian. Her curiosity is peaked::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Walking off to the side of the two officers as she continues to scan the area.::  CO:  Captain, nothing new... everything just confirms an ancient world long dead.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Very well ::looks around:: SO: You should be detecting something ... soon
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: Where is that Guardian?!
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::On the bridge, checking the progress on the sensor scans of the Pleiades::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Forwards the information received by the Captain's away team to the Chief Medical Officer for his consideration on how to proceed::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at her captain and nods her head before making some adjustments to her tircorder.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Did the probe find any DNA traces, Lieutenant? 
 
ACTION:  The ambassador comes to a sudden stop and looks around, his eyes slightly narrowed in his emotionless face.

FCO Ens MacArthur says:
@:: Doors of the shuttle closes tightly. Taps console to bring shuttle to full lockdown.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::stops as well and motions the rest of the team to do the same. She looks at Savar:: CIV: This is where it was supposed to be ....
Amb Savar says:
CO:  Yes, captain.  :: his eyes search the surroundings.::
 
ACTION:  The CMO sends his updated report to the captain.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods:: XO: It did, though they all match up with federation member species... ::Glances at his transporter system, making sure the lock on the CO's away team is still active::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: looks around as well and then back to the two who apparently know what is going on.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Stolen ... ::looks around:: SO: Brianna, there should have been a functioning artifact here. Can your tricorder detect anything different in this location? Any traces of ... anything?

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Thinking it would make things a lot easier if she knew exactly what she was looking for, she started to move around, noting the security officer following here.::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Frowns:: XO: That's odd... ::Taps a few buttons, searching their records::
 
Scenery:  As they move closer to the area where the artifact should have been, indentations of its presence is all that remains.  That and the normal patterns of people visiting the place.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks around, thinking what to do next. No one knows how this thing works ... can it be moved??::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Received the message from sickbay:: OPS: We have the Chief's approval on the bodies, Lieutenant. Coordinate with the FCO and arrange for the beam up to the bodies the away team found.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
All: At least we have some footprints. Don't damage them ::hesitates, then:: Self: Why not? ::takes her tricorder from her belt::
Ambassador says:
:: After a thorough visual search as well as a check of his own scanner, he turns back to the captain::  CO:  It is not here.  Which would explain the lack of energy disturbance on our way here.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods and informs transporter room 1 to prepare for a series of site-to-site transport operations:: XO: Ready for transport, commander.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at the Ambassador while she scans the patterns on the floor::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Finishes circling the area::  CO:  Sorry, captain.  I am not sure what you are looking for, but there is nothing here... though there obviously once was.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Assuming you have the FCO's go-ahead you can proceed. 
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: The truth is, even I have never seen this artifact and know very little about it. As I understand it its a sentient time machine of some sort. We didn't even know it could be removed from the planet :: looks at the CIV:: SO: At least I didn't know
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Lifts an eyebrow, not quite sure how to take that information... but at least she knows what she is looking for... well, in general.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Navigates the probe further inside the ship, piloting it toward the direction of the bridge::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Its still possible the artifact is here ... somewhere ::Studies the pattern of the markings on the floor::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods, taking the queue:: XO: Aye commander. In the mean time, I have something to consider... It seems about one hundred of the Pleiades' crew are unaccounted for... Forwarding the information to your console now... ::Presses a few buttons::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
@Triangulates position of bodies and prepares for beaming:: OPS: Ready to go lieutenant.
Ambassador Savar says:
CO:  Whether or not the gate could be moved, was never tested.  This place and the set up in general was believed the safest place to keep it.  If it was ever thought to move it, I did not hear of such ideas.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: That's particular. ::Studies the OPS's findings:: *CO*: Maor to Gomes.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at the Ambassador:: CIV: I guess that even after so many years of studying it, we didn't know anything
 
@ACTION:  The probe follows the course set, revealing the signs of battle in bodies and scorch markings.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
@*FCO*: Understood.. Energizing... ::Presses a few buttons, activating the transporter sequence and alerting transporter room 1 that operations are commencing::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Keep looking for any sign of where they took it. If they beam it, would we still be able to pick transporter residue?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Gomes here.
Ambassador Savar says:
CO:  Much of the studies were done on viewing its history.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Probably not... not after this time if that is possible.  What about a lift... or tractor beam of some sort?  How big are we looking at here?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: Captain, we've discovered an alarming fact here. It seems the USS Pleiades has about one hundred unaccounted crew members. Any chance it's related to what you're looking for?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Directs the probe through the JTs on its way to the bridge::

ACTION:  The bodies of the fallen are beamed to medical.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Pulls up the data stream from the probe and keeps an eye on the feed as the XO maneuvers it::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: It was about the size of a gate a humanoid may use. I know they could have taken it in a thousand different ways. What I want is to find out which it was. We need to eliminate options

ACTION:  The probe slowly rose toward the bridge.  More damage can be seen, even in the jeffery tubes.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: The Dr reported three bodies missing from the station as well. Its bound to be related to what happened here. There is a missing artifact on the planet as well, we need to determine where it and the bodies went.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: What the hell happened there? It almost looks like some substance caused all of this, or some form of concentrated energy. Do we have anything in our databases that can cause something like this?
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: The bodies missing here were 2 women and a teenage boy. Is there a pattern to the missing bodies on the ship?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
*CO*: Chief reports that all bodies have beamed to sickbay.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Understood, Captain. Whatever caused all of this poses a considerate threat to us. I advice further caution. ::Checks the information for the Captain:: Standby, Captain. Finding out. 
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Looks up at the XO's question:: XO: Honestly, I don't know... Whatever it is, it appears to be powerful enough to overpower an entire starship and its crew..
SO Lt Rose says:
SO:  I am sorry, captain.  There is not much here to work with to answer your question.  It is obviously gone and it was not dragged.  I see no evidence of anything that might have moved it.  There are no tracks of vehicles other then a simple transport type.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*FCO*: That is good to hear. I need the shuttle's eyes now. Hover above us and scan the surrounding area for anything unusual.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Agreed. Though I am starting to think they killed our people and ran off with a very dangerous artifact. What I don't know is how or why...or even who.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Instructs the probe to access the Pleiades' internal sensors log::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
*CO*: Aye Commander. Computer: Begin activation sequence. ::Cabin lights activates and engines energize::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Can you scan underground? Are there any signs the artifact had some sort of mechanism underground?
 
ACTION:  The probe makes its way through a break in a grid onto the bridge.  Signs of an intense battle are seen here.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Run a DNA scan, Lieutenant. We should have access to their internal sensors now. I want to know who's missing and who's not.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I am having MacArthur do a fly by of the area. Do you think you would get anything new if you were aboard?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It couldn't hurt.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods and taps her badge:: *FCO*: Change of plans. Land here and take Rose with you for the fly by.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Studies the Pleiades' sensor logs in an attempt to find out any clues on to what happened on the ship::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
*CO*: Aye captain. ::Increases power to vertical thrusts and flies towards Rose's position::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Moves off the side and waits for the shuttle::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::paces the area, thinking:: Self: If you had an entity able to take you through time and space, where would you take it first? And why are we even still here? Why didn't they erase us from history?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Computer indicates position reached, brings shuttle to a stop and activates vertical thrusts to slowly land the shuttle::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: As the shuttle lands, she dashes over to it to climb aboard.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Once the probe finishes collecting all the data chips it can from the bridge he sends it down toward the computer core::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@XO: Running scan.. ::Starts the scan as requested, hoping there is sufficient data to compare to::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Opens shuttle doors and looks round:: SO: Take a seat. :; Closes the doors and begins procedures for takeoff.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Takes the seat next to MacArthur::  FCO:  We are looking at an artifact, I am guessing to be of a decent size.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
SO: Alright, you take control of the sensors and set them up to find such an object and you just tell me where to go. :: Activates vertical thrusts and begins the flyby::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: Can it even work outside this planet :::looks up instinctively::
Ambassador says:
::looking up towards the sky.  Quietly::  CO:  We will have to go after it... it cannot be allowed to remain in unknown hands.  There were even questions about even letting its existence continue.  There were those that believed it should be destroyed.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I understand that. I am just making sure it really isn't anywhere on the planet. The bigger problem will be that the warp trail leaving the planet is several days old and in unknown territory. Frankly I am not sure where to start looking
Ambassador Savar says:
CO:  The lack of time waves suggests it is not here.  However, where ever it has been taken, the disturbances could still remain.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods and pulls up a general search patter for them to follow.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: CIV: We will wrap up here and then go after these elusive disturbances ... but if they took it, why are they not the most powerful force in the quadrant? Why are we still here ....?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: The probe has the data core, beam it over please.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::taps her badge:: *XO*: I think we are almost done here. How much longer will you need to scan the Pleiades?
Ambassador Savar says:
CO:  Not everyone seeks power, captain.  There is also the possibility they have not used it yet.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
::frowns at the Ambassador without a word::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: We haven't sent a team over yet, we're just waiting for the data core to beam over to go over it.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Locks on to the signal from the probe and activates transporters, setting the destination to cargo bay three:: XO: Energizing, transporting the core to cargo bay three.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Keeping a close eye on sensors, she finds the ruins fascinating, but unfortunately, she does not see anything that would interest the captain... at the moment.::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: It is clear now that the artifact was taken from this planet. We need to go after it. How long do you think it will take to get the Seleya ready to leave the system?
 
ACTION:  The computer core is deposited safely in the cargo bay.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Have engineers work on accessing it right away, Lieutenant. 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Assuming we're willing to leave the ship behind we're ready right now.
SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  Captain, so far nothing.  We are preparing to widen our search.
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Perfect. We will continue investigating what we got en route. We will leave the planet surface in 10 minutes
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: Understood Lieutenant. You have 5 minutes to get as much information as you can. It now seems clear the artifact was taken from the planet and we need to go after it. In 10 minutes we are returning to the Seleya. Make every minute count
OPS Lt Pandora says:
@::Nods, informing engineering about the arrival of some hardware to work on::
 CO Capt Gomes says:
*CMO/CTO*: wrap up and report to my location for immediate departure.
SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  Aye, captain.  We will return in five minutes.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: she looks over at the FCO to make sure he heard.  At his nod, the open up their search pattern a bit more.::
