Last time on the Seleya:

The captain, first officer and CMO question the governor and other town leaders more about the situation, learning little more than they had known before other then perhaps getting more of a feeling of the situation and learning there had also been missing cargo, but not enough to really think more beyond normal error.

The CSO took two science officers; Harris and Rose, down to the planet to the area that was chosen for its low vegetation and flat surface near a landing area and near were the alien species were being found.  Once there, they discovered scattered about exotic species for this planet... dead.

The FCO, CEO and some tactical officers are following a faint vehicle trail into the forest.  While the CTO, left in charge of the ship deals with an incident in engineering and OPS keeps things moving smoothly as well as contacting one of the freighter captains who had been to Kiralep about six months ago.  The counselor finds himself helping out at the science station.

Captain's log, Stardate 11106.12. The conversation with the Governor was less than satisfactory. But we have to work with what we are given. I only hope the rest of the crew was able to gather some more information.

Commander Heller’s Log.  11106.12 On my way back to the bridge from Engineering having dealt with an issue that arose there.  Now back to tracking down the transport captains and getting what information I can get from them about the children

FCO Log 11106.12: Myself, the CEO and the tactical officers are heading into forest terrain, following tracks which we hope are from the missing children. Awaiting area scan and soil sample results from the Seleya.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Exits the meeting room and approaches the XO as the CMO excuses herself to go to the little doctor's room::
SO Lt Rose says:
%::Quietly collecting samples of the exotic species as well as the native species for comparison... this world was something totally new to her.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In the turbolift on his way back to the bridge::
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Following the FCO:: FCO: Are we there yet?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::In a quiet voice:: XO: What do you think?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::On the bridge, sitting in the center chair::

# Scenery:  The trail leads to a stream and follows along it.

CNS Lt Naas says:
::Taps out a pattern idly on the side of his PADD as he paces the rear of the Bridge ::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Continues to lead with a phaser in one hand and a tricorder in the other:: CEO: Not yet
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Exits the turbo lift and enters the bridge heading toward the center chair.::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@::Finishes her business, as quickly as she can, the timing of her bladder leaving a lot to be desired at times she makes her way back to the Captain and XO::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO: My appologies Captain, a little too much coffee this morning ::Smiles::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Looks at the CMO returns:: CMO: When you got to go, you got to go. Before you leave I want to hear your thoughts on this whole meeting.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
OPS:  How is everything going commander?  Anything happen while I was gone?
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Looks like the trail moves down the stream ::Signals team to continue following him down the stream::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks over towards the turbolift, notices Heller entering and stands up:: CTO: Commander, no real changes to report at the moment.. We've been working on tracing some transporter signatures, but with no success.

CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Was about to start some eye spy but decided not to incase James decides to hit him::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO: I am a little concerned at their apparent lack of procedures to safe guard children of all things. I think however having discovered there error they are sincere in finding the lost children and preventing more abductions
XO Cmdr _Maor says:
@CO: Someone is hiding something, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
OPS:  Do you know if Truus was able to get any info from the transport captain he contacted?
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#Self: Nature is so boring.....::Pauses:: FCO: Where'd the river go?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CO/CMO: I agree that someone is hiding something. This has to be an inside job. The question is whether or not the culprit  was in that room. I agree with Dr TRae about the Governor. She seemed sincere. But the rest?
SO Lt Rose says:
%::With the CSO's permission, prepares to head back to the ship.::
TO James says:
#::Is following the FCO and CEO as they follow the trail, keeping her eyes peeled for anything around them, Taliesin is off on their flank checking around their path.;:
SO Lt Rose says:
%*OPS*:  One to transport back to the ship.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Stopping and asking himself a similar question to the CEO, raising his tricorder and taking a scan of the area:: CEO: No idea, I'm scanning now.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: I want to go ahead with your plan to make a fake run. Can we really trust this civilian contact of yours?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Shakes head:: CTO: I haven't received any updates on that front yet.. ::Starts heading over towards the OPS station::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO/XO: Since I own the Scottsman, she was my mothers ship, I can fully vouch for all her senior staff.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
OPS:  Understood, I'll see if I can track down where he was at on that.  ::Moves to take the center chair as Pandora heads back to his station.::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO/XO: I was thinking if we can get her in the regular freight runs, we will know if she picks up a load of children, and we can have them place subdermal transmitters on any children they do pick up.  It could with a little bit of luck give us a trail to follow
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Oh.... I hope you're good at abseiling. Scans indicate this is a Karst region. The stream is going underground with clear formations of caves present.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Relieves Ens Clark at the station and takes his seat::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO/XO: The added advantage is by getting in with the other captains making these runs, David may just learn things they will not tell a Starfleet officer.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: Even if she doesn't get any children, the crew will certainly be able to interact with other freight Captains and other contacts. It will always be informative....in fact, how do you feel about going aboard with some of our crew?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Smiles:: CMO: Exactly

CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#FCO: I tend to try and not to fall so I guess that'll help.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Sees the request from Rose and relays it to T'Lok in transporter room 2::
SO Lt Rose says:
%::Patiently waits in the eerie darkness lit only by stars and the planets moon.::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO: That is an intriguing idea Captain. She is not the Seleya, but she is a fine ship if I do say so myself.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Brings up his console and looks to see who the TO had contacted.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: We will need the approval of her Captain of course. But I think that would be ideal. To have 2 or 3 of us there.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Smiles at McKnight:: CEO: That's my strategy as well.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@XO: And you will talk to the head of planetary security. Do you want anyone with you?
CW4 T’Lok says:
::Receives the orders from the bridge and executes the transport::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::His tricorder begins to bleep loudly:: CEO: Oh and wait.... not just natural formations. Man-made items are also down below.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As the transporter releases her, she steps down, thanking T'Lok and heads for the main lab.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Nods as the XO acknowledges and says he will ask for assistance as he needs it::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: Are you ready to return?
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Starts to secure his field kit to himself in the event of climbing:: FCO: Guess we're in the right place then huh?
CMO LtJG TRae says:
@CO: Yes Maam, ::Is distinctly looking forward to working with David again::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Taps her badge::*OPS* Seleya, two to beam up.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*CO*: Understood, stand by.. ::Transmits the transport orders to transporter room 1::
CPO Arval says:
::Receives the orders and energizes the transporter::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Finds the ship Truus had contacted and sees that the connection was lost while the TO was talking to the ship.::

ACTION:  The captain and doctor are beamed back to the ship.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Blinks as she materializes on in the transporter room::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
CO: With your permission I will contact the Scottsman.
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::checks his kit:: FCO: I've got a wrist torch here, maybe whoever is on point should take it?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CO: Yes Dr. Please do. And ... when we have time, there is another matter we should discuss. Regarding your request, I have something for you.

SO Lt Rose says:
::With help from others on her team, they begin standard procedures for identifying and cataloging alien life.::
CMO LtJG TRae says:
::Freezes at the realization of what the Captain has said:: CO: Yes ma'am, I am available whenever you have time ma'am
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Fitting his kit ready for possible vertical cave drops:: CEO: That's great. I'm might as well lead and take first fall if it happens ::Smiling slightly::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CMO: Let me know when you have news from the Scottsman ::Turns and heads to the turbo lift::
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Hands MacArthur the torch::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Puts the torch on his wrist and scans for an entrance to below::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Enters the lift and orders it to the bridge::
TO James says:
::Pulls a flashlight from her pack and scans the area below.::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Better report to the Seleya in case we lose contact below ::Presses his combadge::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Steps onto the bridge and heads to the center chair:: CTO: Report
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#*Seleya*: MacArthur to Seleya.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*FCO*: Seleya here, go ahead.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#OPS: Myself and Jake have found underground caves whilst following the trails possibly belonging to the children and we are preparing to go below and investigate
CMO LtJG TRae says:
::Stunned a little by the Captains news, that she has news, she follows the captain out and catches the next TL to her office::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CNS: Everything seems to indicate that at least some of the culprits are from Kiralep. Can you think of any typical suspects in these cases?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands quickly when he hears the captains voice.::  CO:  We haven't had any luck getting much information from the transports, I had to head to engineering to help with a problem there and the TO made contact with one of the ships but looks like his connection was lost shortly after he started talking to them.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*FCO*: Understood. Can you set up a signal relay to ensure we can keep a lock on you?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: Are there any news from the away teams?
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Takes a peek down the cavern:: All: Don't suppose someone brought some rope?
CMO LtJG TRae says:
*OPS*: This is Dr. T'Rae, can you find me the SS Scotsman, she is a freighter and shouldn't be too hard to find.  When you get a subspace connection pass it down to my office.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  The FCO and CEO's teams did their initial scan of one of the transport sights and is currently following a trail they think might lead to something.

# Scenery:  A sinkhole nearby is found.

CNS Lt Naas says:
CO: I'm not certain such information is available, Captain... sometimes there isn't a statistical average for profiling.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#*OPS*: Will do Commander. ::Sets up a relay using his tricorder:: OPS: Are you picking it up Commander?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Taps a few buttons to check the signal:: *FCO*: Looking good so far. I'll contact you if we see it fading.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#*OPS*: Thanks Commander, MacArthur out ::Taps comm badge::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Takes her seat:: CNS: That is unfortunate. There was something about the local governors I talked to. They just didn't seem that worried about what happened. On the other hand, they have no real blood ties to them. Perhaps it is normal they don't care so much?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves back to his console now that the captain is back on the bridge::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Let us hope they do. And I take it Science is still working on this alien life?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Yes ma'am, Lt Rose is back on board now.
CNS Lt Naas says:
CO: Having not spoken with these people myself, I can't say conclusively... however, if the children were to assist in populating the colony, there ought to be some concern on their part.
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Right I think some rope might be in order before we go further.
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::nods:: FCO: Well don't look at me, all I have is a multi tool and a hammer.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Thank you. I will wait for them to finish their analysis. Meanwhile, Dr TRae is trying to contact a freighter who will make a run for us. Perhaps he will be able to gain more information. I would also like to take a team from the Seleya to join their crew
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Taps comm badge:: *OPS*: Let's test run that relay Commander. We have approached a sinkhole and need equipment to lower us down
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*CMO*: Will do, doc... ::Taps a few buttons to pull up the ship registry database to find the communications ID for the Scotsman::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CNS: I agree. Commander Maor is trying to contact the head of planetary security. Once he does, I would like you to join him. Maybe you can gain a bigger insight into these people.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Chuckles as the call from MacArthur comes through:: *FCO*: I understand you need some abseiling gear.. I'll see that they'll beam some down for you.
CMO LtJG TRae says:
::Paces her office, worried about everything, worried about how David will react, worried about putting the Scottsman and her crew in danger, worried about what the Captain may have or may not have found, finds herself even worried about her appearance for the upcoming conversation with David::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#::Relief at the response appears on MacArthur's face:: *OPS* Thank you Commander, MacArthur out. ::Taps comm badge::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Commander Pandora will be beaming down some abseiling gear.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I'll be part of that team captain and can bring along some other tactical officers if you want.

SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  Captain... for preliminary overview, not surprising, all these plants and animals we brought aboard... oh yea, we found exotic species... dead.  Anyways, they come from a place with a sun.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Turns to Heller:: CTO: Commander, the away team is requesting some ropes and other mountaineering gear. Could your department provide some to be beamed down to them?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Still tapping his console to track down the Scotsman, then finally finds the correct code and frequency and opens a channel::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Thank you for volunteering. I will definitely want you to go, as well as Dr. TRae. But I haven't decided yet who else should go. While we wait, can you still try to contact the freighter Captains?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
OPS:  James and Taliesin should already have the necessary gear, but I will have one of my team arrange for some new ones to be beamed down for the FCO and CEO.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: I take it these species are not in our database? Does that mean they come from an unknown planet?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sends a message to Derfel to get some climbing gear down to the planet.::
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#::Watches as Taliesin and James are already getting into some abseiling gear:: FCO: Does it worry you that they had already packed some rope?
SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  Yea... that is pretty much it.  Wherever they came from, they are not from around this system or any knowns within our database.  There are the usual similarities one finds... and we do not see any markers to indicate someone is playing around with genetics.
TO James says:
#::Begins unpacking her climbing gear with Taliesin while they await for more to be transported down.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Yes captain, will get back on it now and see what else I can find from them.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CTO: Thanks, Lieutenant MacArthur would be very happy with that. ::Taps a few more buttons to relay the subspace call to the CMO's office:: *CMO*: Doctor, I have a channel open to the Scotsman, patching through to your office now. You just need to activate to establish contact.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: And ... did you say all the exotic species were dead? So there are no signs someone is trying to introduce them? They were just dropped?
CMO LtJG TRae says:
*OPS*: Thank you commander
TO Derfel says:
::Grabs the climbing gear and quickly takes it to the transporter room and instructs the chief to transport it to the FCO's location.::
FCO LtJG MacArthur says:
#CEO: Makes me jealous slightly that they get all mod-cons on every trip.....
CMO LtJG TRae says:
::Sits down at her desk, and straightens her tunic. Reaching up she activates the channel, and smiles as David's features fills her viewer.
SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  So far.  The others are still searching, I just brought up the few that were in the area and were dead.  We are only looking at a handful of species so far.  How they died... we should be able to let you know relatively soon.  My guess at the moment is they starved... they did not have their usual food at hand.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*SO*: That feels like they were left by accident and not on purpose...as if instead of dropping the children, they dropped flowers ...

SO Lt Rose says:
*CO*:  Agreed... but not sure what you mean by dropping flowers.
CEO LtJG McKnight says:
#FCO: Maybe just after James' "training" I got I'm a bit paranoid around her.....I tend to try and avoid maulings heh.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Smiles:: *SO*: I am sorry, I mean dropped plant species. Thank you for your analysis. I will have someone check if these species were in the freighter cargo manifests.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Brings up the ships ID the TO was in contact with and sends to the OPS station.::  OPS:  Could you see if you can get a comm line open with that ship.
