Last time on the Seleya:

The crew took the time to go through what they had learned about the situation.  With that information, they began to make plans.  One group was to go under cover while others searched out more information.

Captain's log, Stardate 11107.03. We have narrowed down our investigations to a group of individuals in Kiralep and we are preparing a flight run on a cargo ship - the Scotsman. I am confident we will soon discover the fate of the missing children.

<<<<<<<<<< Dreams of a Golden Age:  Implementation I >>>>>>>>>>

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his badge:: *OPS, FCO*: This is Commander Maor, meet me at transporter room one in five minutes. Maor out. ::Closes the channel and begins making his way toward the transporter room::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Sitting on the bridge, wondering how the preparations are going. She taps her badge:: *CTO*: Gomes to Heller.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In the shuttlebay looking over the runabout when he hears the captain::  *CO*:  Heller here.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*CTO*: How are the preparations going?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Stepping off the lift onto the bridge, holding back a yawn.::

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Behind his desk, already changed into civilian clothing, he looks up from the dossiers, then after a moment, gets up and gathers the dossiers::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks towards the lift as it opens:: SO: Oh good, you are here Brianna. I would like to have a word with you once I finish this comm with Commander Heller
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CO*:  Ensign James and I are packed and ready to depart when the CMO and CNS get here.  We are currently running our check of the runabout.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Finished gathering them up, head heads out of his office and towards transporter room 1::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods:: CO: The CSO got caught in something and asked if I would lend a hand.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*CTO*: Excellent. The Doctor will take some time longer. She has to make final arrangements with the Scotsman before leaving. Since you are essentially done, please join me in my ready room for another matter.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CO*:  Understood, on my way.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Taking a seat, she catches up on what had occurred during the last few hours.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: SO: Yes you can. Have the computer parts brought by the FCO's team been analyzed?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Let me check... ::Calls down to the lab for an update.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Leaves the turbolift and turns right towards the transporter room::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Turns to James::  James:  Finish up with our pre-flight check and make sure our gear gets stowed, I'll be back to help if I can.  ::Exits the runabout and heads for the lift directing it to the bridge.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Listening to a verbal report, she then turns around.::  CO:  They are just finishing up.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I want to review what we have one more time, just in case. Download what we have on a PADD and join me and the CTO for a small ... brainstorm in my ready room
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Exits the lift and steps onto the bridge.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the lift as the CTO arrives and gets up, heading for the ready room::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nodding, she turns to download the unfinished report and then stands to follow the others.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Follows the captain into her ready room.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the chronometer::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Enters the Transporter room and nods at Maor:: XO: Commander.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Enters the ready room and welcomes the CTO and SO in by pointing them to a set of couches surrounding a low table:: SO/CTO: I want to show you my new toy.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Takes a seat::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks with curiosity::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Glad you could join us, ::Pauses for a second:: Uh, Me, Commander. Are you ready?

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes a seat on one of the couches raising his eyebrows at the mention of a new toy, his curiosity peaked.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO/SO: Engineering finished installing this just a couple of hours ago. It is a small holoprojector. I thought it would be useful for tactical analysis. If it works I will have a bigger one installed in the conference room.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Holds up the dossiers:: XO: As ready as I can be, given the time I was given. Do you need these back?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps a few buttons on a control console and activates the table with the image she asked to be programmed there:: CTO/SO: This is as close as we can get to the cave that the FCO and CEO visited on Kiralep without actually being there.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: OPS: Just make sure to secure it with the chief before we beam out. ::Grabs his own bag and makes his way toward the pad:: We'll be going after your person first, Sanborn. I trust you don't have any questions?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  That makes it easy...  and it allows us to see what is what without it being disturbed.  Can we interact with it as we would on the holosuite?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Shakes head as he drops the dossiers with Arval:: XO: None at this time... ::Steps onto the pad::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Yes you can. It uses the same technology ... but they had to tweak it to make it smaller, so it might have some bugs in it.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods as she stand up to move closer.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: Where I really want to go with all of this, is to try to make a reconstruction of our best guess as to what this cave is really for. I have a feeling our answers are there.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Leans forward on the couch taking a close look at the cave in front of them::  CO:  This is very nice, could come in very handing for setting up security placements and such, give us a good 3D overview of an area.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: That is one of the options yes. We can discuss a whole scenario without all the hassle of being in a holodeck

Scenery:  A cave filled with various equipment used for building and planting.  There are bags of seed off to the side.  There are boxes stacked with components for repairing equipment.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Steps onto one of the pads:: OPS: This is our cover story. ::Hands the OPS an identity card:: We are mercenaries hired to hunt down this Sanborn character under permission from the government. Naturally, no one will actually acknowledge us as I had to hack our names into their computers but it'll buy us enough time. Once we locate him we are to take him to a secure safe house I've managed to secure. Any questions?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Takes her padd and pulls up a list.::  CO/CTO:  There is no sign that anyone is living here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Walks around the hologram inspecting the cave, looking for ideas of what this might all be for.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: SO/CTO: It seems more like a storage. But normally warehouses have locks, this one doesn't. Is there no crime on Kiralep?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Wryly:: CO: Well, obviously there must be something or we would not be here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/SO:  If it is used for storage, what is it supplying?  Can't see why there aren't some security measure unless they know no one was looking for it.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods slowly at the SO::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO/CTO:  At the same time, from sensor readings, these people pretty much stay near home.... there does not appear to be much adventuring or roaming... at least that we have picked up.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Can see how that cover story could go wrong very badly and quickly, but holds his tongue and just takes the identity card:: XO: No sir.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Very well. One last thing, as a fair warning, don't let him see your face. ::Watches the OPS make his way toward the pad:: We'll be beaming to where I suspect we can find him.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: It does make sense that in such an inhospitable planet people don't go out exploring. So maybe theft is not a problem. But the CTO is right, what are they supplying? From these spare parts, it seems their visitors came in ships...
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: ... or at least had heavy equipment with them.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Just nods::
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  Did your people get a chance to go through what was missing?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Transport Chief: Do it.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
SO/CTO:  It must be somewhere under the surface I would think or our sensors would pick up something that wasn't supposed to be there.  ::Looks around the cave looking to see if it might lead to more underground caverns.::

ACTION: The first officer and OPS are beamed down to Remar, one of the underground towns and home of Sanborn.

@ Scenery:  The sound of a stream flows nearby as the area is lit dimly by artificial means.  There is a quaintness about the buildings.  There is no specific design that sticks out, but more a conglomerate of what people found pleasing.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: Before I forget. ::Hands him an alien looking firearm:: Use this. We're going south. ::Starts making his way::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Takes the weapon from the XO and starts following him, looking for a place to put the gun until needed::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: The Seleya would have picked up any strong energy source. And the FCO and CEO would have picked up much more on their tricorders ... unless it was shielded.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Hits his badge:: *CO*: Maor to Gomes.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves to a nearby console and brings up some information from his team::  SO: Everything down there was on the list of missing supplies with the exception of the seeds, no idea where those came from.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps her badge:: *XO*: Go ahead
SO Lt Rose says:
::Frowns::  CO:  Anything on that power glitch earlier?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  So we're either looking for a shielded complex or is it possible that it was taken off planet at some point.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Shakes her head:: SO: Engineering is still looking at it.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: We've beamed down, Captain. Using the cover story we talked about, we'll attempt to locate Sanborn and bring him to the safe house to question him. Maybe we'll get better results if they won't figure we're bound by Starfleet's morals.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  Not the seeds?  ::Shakes her head::  I don't get those seeds.  Lab says they are not the type that would grow well in hydroponics.   So why here?
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: So this cave was filled with missing cargo, with the children replaced by seeds. That bothers me in a way I cannot explain. There is something fishy.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Very well Commander. Proceed ... just keep in mind we ARE bound by Starfleet regulation.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Closes the channel:: OPS: She always assumes the worst. ::Checks his tricorder:: West now. ::Heads west::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO/CTO:  As was said earlier, everything about this cave says storage room.  Everything here is for building or growing... someone is starting their own colony?  Maybe they have decided to get away from eternal darkness?  Not that it is that bad.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: The place looked abandoned, but I find it unlikely it was deserted. I am more inclined to believe they are hiding, rather than being off planet.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Merely nods, following the XO as they proceed to target::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Blinks at Rose:: SO: You do need kids to start a colony
SO Lt Rose says:
::Blushes slightly::  CO: There are other ways to have children though besides stealing them.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/SO: If someone is wanting to start a new colony would indicate that this might be bigger than we think, usually takes a lot of people to start a new colony.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Chuckles:: SO: Indeed there are. Can you go through the preliminary data from the computers in the cave?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: It also requires a planet ... a planet where these seeds would grow.

@ Scenery:  Everything seems normal for a small town.  People are moving about through their daily lives.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: Go west. ::Checks something:: Life is peaceful there. In the open air, where the skies are blue. ::Points to the direction of the skies as he reads from his PADD:: This is what we're gonna do. ::Continues walking::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  According to our computer tech, it has a list of supplies, some of which were there and some which were not.  It also seems sort of like a storage facility as it is filled with information and general programs.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Mutters inaudibly:: Self: Go west.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Looks at the XO with a funny expression on his face::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: It all seems very organized. It also seems like they know exactly what they want.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  No one has mentioned anyone else other then the children missing... and we have had no better luck with sensors in locating them.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Something long in the planning?  It might explain why no red flags popped up until recently.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/SO: If it is something they have been planning for a long time seems they might be reaching the end of their plans if they've finally started doing something they have to expect people will take notice of.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I would say at least 2 years in the planning. That is when the children started to go missing.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Shouldn't be far now.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  How far back does your supply list go?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: On the other hand, they have gone unnoticed for so long that they might have become lazy.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods:: XO: Yeah.. Near the underground system if I am not mistaken?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: Get ready for anything, Commander. ::Sticks a chip on his throat designed to alter his voice:: Yes. Once we get near there activate this. ::Hands him his own chip and disables his own one for now::

@ Scenery:  Near the back of the underground city, in an area one might call 'low middle income' is a row of homes.  The area is relatively quiet.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods slowly, reaching out to take the voice alteration chip::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: If this is all about a new colony, it cannot be far from here
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  It's possible that things have been going missing for longer and nobody has really looked into it until they noticed the kids missing.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  But why a new colony?  I was given the impression this place was rather nice... if you don't mind not having a star overhead.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I agree
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sends a message to Taliesin to check farther back into the records of the colony's supplies looking for missing items.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Political reasons? Religious reasons? The usual ...
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: We should ask nearby warp planets to see whether they noticed any cargo mission. I would also like a survey of the nearest M-class planets where these seeds would grow.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I can think of other ways of starting a colony.  So my next question might be, do the children know?  Are they involved or just... luck of the draw?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Gets a message back from Taliesin::  CO/SO:  Seems there have been things missing for longer than two years, stuff had started going missing as far back as far as 5 years.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Five years. That is a long time. This has to be a very organized group. And they must have a very good reason to be so.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO/CTO:  Which would mean someone somewhere around here is involved.  Otherwise, I would think incoming ships would be picked up.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That was our first and probably only certain conclusion so far. They had inside help, on a high level.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: This should be it. ::Hides his PADD and removes his alien looking rifle:: Get ready. ::Puts on a mask and activates his voice chip:: On three.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: Which suggests a dissident group within the Kiralep people.  Maybe we can find them in their history.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/CTO: One thing makes me sleep a little better at night. Perhaps these kids are alive.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Gets ready to break and enter a potentially innocent civilian's home::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Secures his rifle and removes a small device from his bag meant to destroy the door hinges without much noise:: OPS: Stop looking so worried, Commander. We're not going to be doing anything that could get you in trouble. ::Attaches the device to the door:: One.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Sets the device on a two second timer:: OPS: Two. ::Moves aside::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/SO:  Maybe this group doesn't like how the children are raised in this society and want to make things different for these new children.  It does seem that these kids are still alive, haven't seen any evidence that they aren't at this point but still too soon to tell for sure.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  So we follow through with your plans... which seem perfect if this is where things are going.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Three. ::Looks away as the device is triggered and the door shatters around them:: Break. ::Runs inside the building with his rifle drawn and set on stun::

@ ACTION:  There is a quiet puff and then the door slowly opens into a small living room with minimal furniture.  There is a light coating of dust covering everything.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Heads into the building after the XO, his weapon out as well::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods, getting up slowly:: CTO/SO: I am happy we had this discussion. The pieces are starting to add up. We will continue with our plans and see what else we can come up with.
Host CO_Capt_Gomes says:
::Touches a button to switch off the holoprojector::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances at the holoprojecter as the captain turns it off wondering if he could get one set up in his office, he loved new toys.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Stands and turns to look at Max, reading his expression::  CTO:  Maybe if your very nice to the chief... ::smiles::  You should see the new tricorder he made to replace the one I had to destroy.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles as he stands up:: SO:  You know me well, I can think of so many things I could use that for, maybe I’ll promise not to sick James on him ever again.
CMO Ltjg TRae says:
::Taps her com badge:: CO: Captain, we are ready to head out.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO/SO: It is time to go back to work.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Chuckles as she leaves...::
