Last time on the Seleya:

With caution, the captain had taken the Seleya to the planet Bezza that is not known for its diplomacy.  However, they never made it as they were intercepted by one of the Bezza ships.  A very brief discussion convinced the captain now was not the time to visit that world nor was there any obvious connection to Kirlep.  Besides, given the situation on Kirlep, she wanted to be there with the ship.

While OPS watched Sanborn, the first officer went to meet up with the FCO.  However, he was not around, only his barrowed transport vehicle.  There was evidence that there was a struggle.  The first officer has called everyone back together.

While the CTO monitored the situation, the CMO and CNS took the boy down along with supplies.  There they meet up with Lucy, who had been waiting to take Delp.  They watched long enough for them to leave before heading out themselves.

Captain's log, Stardate 11109.18. We are returning to Kiralep. Our little exploration of the nearby M class planets has proved almost fruitless. If there is a new colony, it is not nearby. I expect the away teams on the planet will be able to solve this.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*All*: All crew members are to rendezvous at my location in ten minutes, priority one unless you were assigned different orders. Maor out. ::Closes the channel and heads toward the direction of the shuttle::
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Shares a glance with the doctor before acknowledging the communication ::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Reading some data on a padd, she steps off onto the bridge.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Sits in her chair on the bridge, looking at the viewscreen as the Seleya establishes its orbit around Kiralep. Since they are in communications range, she taps her badge:: *XO*: Gomes to Maor

ACTION:  On the Scottsman, the CMO has received an urgent call.  She is now in with the Scottsman captain.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Tracks down the CNS to head with him back to the planet to meet with the XO::
CNS Lt Naas says:
#CTO: This whole colony... I swear, it's like no one knows what anyone else is doing.
SO Lt Rose says:
::With the CSO in medical, she takes science, dismissing the duty officer who looked relieved to give over the post.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#CNS:  Well I guess we better get down planet side and see if we can sort it out, where’s the doctor?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: Maor here.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Brianna, I am glad to see you. Do we know the frequency of the transponder they used on the kid? Can we track him from up here?
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: We are in orbit and in transporter range. What is your status?
CNS Lt Naas says:
#CTO: He had to meet with the Captain, sir.
CNS Lt Naas says:
#::Indicates to the CTO how to track the child ::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over::  CO:  I have no idea... but it should take but a moment to find out.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turning around, she pulls up the code the CTO had given her to contact him to see if he was available.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at the SO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Nods::  CNS:  Then I guess it’s just us, let’s get to the shuttle bay Ensign James has the runabout ready to launch and has the information on the sensors there to keep track of the boy.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Not good, Captain. FCO is MIA. I'm assembling a team now to track him now. I visited the last location he reported from and there has been signs of a struggle there, we can only assume he was captured. Perhaps as a retaliation for the fact we captured one of their own men.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Acknowledged. We will also look for him from up here. If the child has been deployed, concentrate on finding him. We can't lose him.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Hears a beep from his badge and after making sure no one is nearby hits his badge.::  *SO*:  Heller here.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: New priority, we need to find the FCO. Search his badge, if that fails, then try tracking all humans on the planet.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Leads the CNS to the shuttle bay and enters the runabout::

SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods to the captain and turns back around to answer Max::  *CTO*:  Can you give me the boys frequency number?
SO Lt Rose says:
:: As she talks, she pulls up the FCO's badge frequency::  *XO*:  Commander, can you give me a starting place to begin searching for the FCO?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Moves to the runabouts control console and brings up the information on the tracking device and sends it to Rose.:: *SO*:  Sending it through to your console now.  We are showing a good signal currently.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*SO*: My current location, Lieutenant. 
SO Lt Rose says:
*CTO*:  Thanks... I hope things are going well on your end.
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Aye, sir.  Locking onto you know as the starting point.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I have the boy’s frequency... inputting now.  ::Reaches over to tap a few buttons to bring up a screen for tracking.  She puts a snapshot of it on the main screen.::  I also have the first officer’s location and am running the standard search grid.

#Action:  The Scottsman gives permission and the shuttle smoothly clears the bay.  On their screen are the lights of the above ground cities slowly rotating.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Looks over at James and Naas.::  CNS/TO:  Lets get going.  ::Gets clearance from the Scottman to depart and takes the runabout out of bay and toward the rendezvous point planet side with the XO::
CNS Lt Naas says:
#:: Glances out the windows quickly ::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Good job, leave the child's location on the screen, we will just track it for now.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: We have the child's signal. We will track it but I will leave the decision on how to proceed to find him and identify his kidnappers to you and your teams.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods as she stares at the screen, searching for the FCO.::  *XO*:  Commander, I am picking up his signal about 25 meters from your location... heading north.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Understood, Captain. ::Receives the message from the SO:: *SO*: Forward the coordinates to the CTO's shuttle, I'm on my way. ::Activates his shuttle controls and prepares to take off:: *CTO*: Maor to Heller.

Scenery:  The boys signal moves only in small incruments about a small area; what one might expect of someone exploring a home.

SO Lt Rose says:
*CTO*:  Incoming coordinates for the FCO's location.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Brings the shuttle back toward the planet::  *XO*:  Heller here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Checks his console::  *SO*: Receiving now.  ::Brings up the coordinates.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Launches the shuttle in the air and plots the course on the navigation computer:: *CTO*: Commander, we've discovered the FCO's location. I'm making my way there as we speak, make your way to that location and offer backup as needed. You should have received the coordinates by now from the ship.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Observes the child's movements on the viewscreen:: SO: It seems he arrived in his location for the local night. Is that a town?

ACTION:  Sanborn wakes up.  Quickly he takes in the situation.  Equally quickly he works on trying to figure out how to get away.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns around to look at the screen::  CO:  That is near the edge of Rendal, the primary city.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#*XO*:  Just received them and changing course, should arrive shortly.
CNS Lt Naas says:
#CTO: Anyone else in the area?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods::

@Scenery:  In the moonlight there are a number of bushes of various heights.  Near the location the SO has given, is a clearing along with a circle of rocks.  There is no sign of anyone about.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Scans the area of the location giving as they approach.::  CNS:  Nothing on sensors.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Frowns::  *XO*:  Commander, I am not reading any life signs, just his commbadge signal.
CNS Lt Naas says:
#CTO: I'm kind of hoping that he got kidnapped - that's your department.  If he's on drugs and wandered off on a bender... well, that's something I'd have to deal with.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*SO*: Do a DNA scan, I doubt there are too many Humans on this planet. ::Begins to descend near the rock formation::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Smiles::  CNS:  Want to take it easy for a while do ya?
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Any specific radius?
CNS Lt Naas says:
#CTO: Some would claim it's easier to just fire a phaser and get the "bad guys", Commander.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Brings the shuttle into its decent, seeing the XOs shuttle ahead of them.::  *XO*:  We're right behind you commander.  I can set down a little to the west and approach the area from a different direction.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As she scans the area, a flag comes up.  Reading the CSO's notes, she turns around.::  CO:  Captain, they are going to the area that the CSO noted an energy surge in the area.  It was too brief for identification.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#CNS:  I've found it’s never quite that easy.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CTO*": FCO isn't here, Commander. Just his badge. ::Glances around:: *SO*: Start with a 50 km radius from our current location.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Inform Commander Maor and keep a lock on them.
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Understood.
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Commander, the area you are in was flagged by the CSO a few days back as having picked up an energy surge.   It was too brief and could possibly have been nothing but a sensor glitch.  A diagnostics of the sensors showed nothing in that area.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#XO*:  Understood, will hold position here until we know where we need to go from here.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*SO*: How brief, Lieutenant?
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  His note was along the lines of a door opening and closing.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*SO*: Understood. ::Hits his badge:: *CTO*: See if you can find any signs for a hidden door near my current location. Perhaps some sort of a cloaking device or a hologram. ::Makes his way toward the direction of the formation of the stones where the tracks end::

@ ACTION:  As the first officer approaches the area, he hears a crunching sound under foot.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Brings the shuttle down and slow flyover looking for anything that might hide something.  His console beeps as he receives a message from one of his team.::  *XO*:  I've just got a message from one of my team, the supplies we transported down are being searched by someone, they are dressed in dark clothes and look to be trying to avoid notice.

@ACTION:  The first officer just catches the sound of movement... more instinctive then actual.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CTO*: Send the CNS here and head to that location, Commander.
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Commander, there are a few humans in the area of Rendal, but nothing in your vicinity.

ACTION:  On the small screen, the boys signal is beginning to move.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks up as the signal starts moving::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#*XO*:  Understood, he's on his way.  ::Turns to the CNS::  CNS:  Get ready to depart, I'll touch down just south of the XO's position and you can meet up with him.  ::Lands the shuttle in an opening and opens the doors.::
CNS Lt Naas says:
#::Nods to the CTO ::  CTO: Good luck.  ::Ducks down and runs out the hatch quickly ::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Waits until the CNS is clear of the shuttle then takes off and heads back toward the cargo transport area looking for an area nearby to land so he can approach undetected on foot.::

@ ACTION:  As the Counselor runs out quickly, a life form tears out of hiding toward him...

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Gets out his phaser rifle and makes aim at the direction of the new lifeform:: Lifeform: Hold it!
CNS Lt Naas says:
@::Glances around confused, the sounds from the shuttle having masked the approach of anyone ::

ACTION:  The child’s signal appears to be walking down a street, heading out of Rendal...

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Fires his phaser on stun at the direction of the lifeform as he continues to head toward the direction of the CNS::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Lands the shuttle and instructs James to stay with the shuttle and departs and heads for the cargo loading zone on foot.;:
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Watches the viewscreen:: SO: Can you extrapolate where the child might be heading to?
@ACTION:  The XO's aim is right on.  At the foot of the counselor drops an alien life form... another exotic species.

SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It looks like the signal is heading out of Rendal... general location of the first officer.
