Last time on the Seleya:

While the Maor waited for the arrival of the captain and her team, his people group made sure the area was secure.  He and the counselor also spoke with the Bajoran Able upon his coming to.  Unfortunately, their tactics only made the man try harder to leave as he became more fearful.

Without knowing what had caused the portal to mall function and concerned with the energy of both biological as well as mechanical, the CSO quickly put together a device he remembered that would temporarily protect them should it occur again.  The captain decided to take him along with the team as he was there and there was so much unknown that another scientist could help with.

A slightly longer energy surge then the previous ones, the captain and her team made it through to join Maor's team.  Unfortunately, the CTO drove over the rock circle, grinding the stones more. Once they arrived, they began to try to work on discovering their location.

The CSO noting that the counselor and others tactics on getting Able to talk were failing tried his hand at calming and gaining the man's trust.  Little time was given as the groups loaded back up, prepared to head for the settlement the tricorder was picking up about 25 km away; the same area they are reading Delp's locator.  The two teams are now in route.

On the ship, the SO works with others on the glyphs while they wait to hear back from their people.

Captain's log, Stardate 11111.20. We are tracking the signal of the child. Soon we will understand exactly why they were kidnapped. In the mean time, we also have to figure out exactly where we are ....

Executive Officer's log, SD: 11111.20. We are moments before arriving at the last location we've detected the child. I've separated the teams to ensure the success of the mission should something go wrong. My team will attempt to get inside the compound using our prisoner for cover and the CTO's team will offer us backup.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Prepares a hypospray with medicine for headache relief:: Able: This is a hypospray. It's going to inject a small amount of medicine into your system to soothe your headache, ok?
Able says:
::Sitting in the truck, trying to work out a way to warn the others or something.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::In the vehicle, next to the CTO, who is driving. She is scanning the way as they go::

Scenery:  The two vehicles follow the dirt path toward the settlement.  The environment is that of a world that has not been touched much by the hands of man.  The trees are tall and of varied types.  Birds fly high above, some following the group, some sitting in the trees scolding them.  Occasionally they can see the shadows of smaller animals.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Behind the wheel of their vehicle making his way toward the village.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Keep the vehicle steady. ::Turns toward the CSO's direction:: CSO: Try reasoning with him. ::Gestures at the direction of Able:: He needs to convince them to let us through, he needs to realize what's at stake here if he won't cooperate.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: It is all very quiet, for a hideout. I guess they don't expect to be found.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Looks towards the XO:: XO: I've got this, Commander.
Able says:
::Glares at the man giving the commands.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Let’s hope it’s because their over confidant and not waiting to spring a trap.  ::Keeps scanning the area around them as they near the village looking for a good spot to have a good over watch position of the village.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: Contact the CTO's vehicle. It's time to separate.
TO Ens York says:
XO: Aye sir ::Holds the wheel steady::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods slowly, scanning the surroundings for lifesigns::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Defiantly looks like we are going the right way, ::Indicates the tracks::  looks like whatever vehicle came before us was heavily loaded.
CNS Lt Naas says:
XO: Right.  *CTO*: It's time to separate.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
Able: Would you like the hypospray, or not? If it'd make you feel better, I'll use it on myself first to show it isn't poison or anything like that.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CNS*:  Understood, good luck.
Able says:
::Mutters::  CSO:  I am fine... it is... improving.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: And I am picking up a couple hundred lifeforms. Bajoran, Cardassian ...  a few humans. Not much different from Kiralep.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Nods and puts the hypo away:: Able: What's your name?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around them:: CSO: We're running out of time. You have five minutes to talk some sense through him or I'll handle it my way. ::Turns back to face the front of the car:: TO: Slow down.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Watches the area around them and pulls off to follow a track that appears to circle around the village::  CO:  Humans?  That’s unexpected.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Glares at the XO, planning to have a spirited chat later with him::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: Do we have a reading of the village? Anything useful we can use?
Able says:
::Seeing they might already know, he shrugs his shoulders:: CSO: Able
TO Ens York says:
::He slows down realizing he is going too fast:: XO: Sorry sir
CNS Lt Naas says:
XO: Picking up lifesign readings - Cardassian, Bajoran, a few human.  Also recent tire traffic.

ACTION:  Ten minutes pass.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Chuckles:: CTO: Seems we are everywhere these days.

Scenery:  As the trees thin, the sound of children playing and people talking can be heard along with the hum of machinery.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
CNS: Let them know we're approaching the village now. ::Turns one last time to the CSO:: CSO: Is he going to cooperate or not?
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Nods again:: Able: Able, here's the deal. We're trying to find some missing kids, ok? They were taken from their home, and we've tracked them to this settlement we're going to. We have no intentions to be violent against your people, we just want to find the kids and make sure they're safe. Now, we can't do that without your help.
TO Ens York says:
::Hears the sound of children and slows even more::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Slows down as they approach the village looking for a good spot::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
Able: We need you to get us past the guards so we can find the children. Can you do that for me, Able? We really don't want things to go badly for either side.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Listens to the children play:: CTO: That doesn't sound like prisoners.
Able says:
::Frowns::  CSO:  Missing children?  Who reported missing children?
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
Able: A colony called Kiralep. It's a combined Cardassian/Bajoran colony.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Hears children laughing::  CO:  Perhaps there is more going on then we realize yet.  ::Pulls the vehicle to a stop near the top of a small hill overlooking the village where they have a good view of the village below.::

Able says:
::Closes his lips grimly for a moment and then shakes his head::  CSO:  There are no missing children.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Indeed.... ::Looks ahead as the vehicle comes to a stop::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
Able: If that's true, then we'll be in and out in less than an hour, no harm, no foul, alright? Even if these accusations are false, they need to be investigated.
Able says:
::Looks at the man::  CSO:  Who are you?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I am detecting a shield, it is weak but it might give us away. I hope Maor is detecting it as well.
TO Ens York says:
::Stops the vehicle:: XO: Sir. We at the village
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Able: Mercenaries hired by the kid's families. ::Glares at the direction of the CSO in case he'll feel like contradicting him::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::Looks Able square in the eye:: Able: My name is Henry. I'm a member of an organization called Starfleet, who works for the United Federation of Planets. We're dedicated to keep the peace in the galaxy, and we have to investigate when it's reported that children are being taken.
Able says:
::Frowns, even more confused::  XO:  Families who are missing children contacted you?  ::Looks in the general direction they were going... well, were almost there and shook his head wondering who had got what wrong and the possible cost to them all.::
Able says:
::Looks slightly annoyed::  CSO:  I know who Starfleet is... and you don't belong here.

Scenery:  Through the trees, a short walk away ahead can be seen simple buildings.  Before a rather large one, can be seen children playing.  To the left can be seen fields with plantings at various stages of growth and machines harvesting.  The living area is spread out over half a km while tricorders read the farms to cover a couple of km.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the other vehicle::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
TO: Get us inside. ::Turns toward the CNS's direction:: CNS: The second you think he's going to give us away stun him. 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CSO: This isn't over, not by a long shot. You remember my words, you will regret what you just did.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Watches as the other vehicle approaches the village.::
CNS Lt Naas says:
::Glances between the XO and the CSO, both of which who outrank him, and wonder if the XO's orders include stunning Sumner::
TO Ens York says:
::Starts moving the vehicle towards the buildings::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Ignores the XO:: Able: Able, I don't disagree with you, but we need to find out if these allegations are true. I'm asking you to help us keep this as smooth and non-disruptive as possible, ok?
Able says:
@::Looks from one man to the other and throws up his hands::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I have a bad feeling about this ::Taps her badge:: *XO*: Gomes to Maor.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Steady as she goes. ::Hits his badge:: *CO*: Maor here. Our cover is blown regarding the prisoner. Go ahead.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Turns to Ensign James::  TO:  Something doesn't feel right.  Stay frosty.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@Able: Able, please, I don't want things to get violent.

@Action: As the XO's team moves forward, people in the vicinity pause to look curiously, but then return to what they were doing.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Frowns and blinks::: *XO*: Did you detect the shield? They have one up and I cannot tell for sure whether you crossed it
TO Ens York says:
::Sighs in relief::
Able says:
@CSO:  I do not know what you have been told, but we are not a violent people.  If you are just checking on some lies, go ahead.
TO James says:
::Nods grimly to Heller and unslings her rifle keeping a close watch on the area around them leaving the commander to watch the village.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: It appears we did, I wasn't informed in time. We're not being approached yet. ::Glances at his PADD:: We're heading toward the last known location of the boy.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@Able: Thank you, Able. I promise you, if there's nothing going on, we'll be in and out, and you'll never see us again.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the CTO:: *XO*: Very well. Let us know if you need us to go in. Call me if there is a chance to negotiate.
G`tarth says:
@::A frown on his face, he steps from the security building to look at the incoming vehicle.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CTO*: We've closing in on what appears to be a security building. Standby for new orders.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*: Understood
TO Ens York says:
XO: Approaching a security building ::Notices the security building and slows::

ACTION:  A group of children come running into the area  near the captain stopping at the treeline as they pick up a ball.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I shouldn't have let them go without me ::Looks over::
G`tarth says:
::Nods to himself as the vehicle slows down, moving to intercept them.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Hears some noise off to his left and turns as children appear at the tree line.::  CO:  We have company.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Keep driving, maybe they won't stop us.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Looks like we do. I don't think they can see us though.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Shakes his head some at the XO's comment::

Scenery:  Arguing ensues as two of the older boys face off.  The rest step aside to watch.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CNS: How far are we from the boy's location?
TO Ens York says:
::Drives on nodding to the security guy::
G`tarth says:
@::As the vehicle starts to pass his frown grows and he pulls out his weapon::  TO:  Stop!
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Sighs and runs a hand through his hair::
TO Ens York says:
XO: Covers blown
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the kids:: CTO: Are they fighting?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Drive! ::Hits his badge:: *CTO*: We've been compromised. Get in here, we're going to attempt to lose them.
TO Ens York says:
::Speeds up and drives on::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sees the children:: CO:  looks like it.  ::Hears the comm from the XO and curses::  CO:  We've got to go something’s wrong down below.
G`tarth says:
@::Looks on in disbelief he turns and runs back into the building, hitting the alarm.::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Shakes his head and draws his phaser, having to bite his tongue to keep from saying anything::
CNS Lt Naas says:
@::As he's thrown back in his chair, he double checks the tricorder ::  XO: Subject's about a quarter kilometer from the border... that direction. ::Points ::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I'd prefer not to go through the shield. It will just get more of their attention.

@ACTION:  Throughout the area the warning siren can be heard.  Everyone briefly pauses then turns to hurry back into the main compound.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CSO: Show him the boy's location on the PADD, see if he can tell us anything useful on where he's located. ::Turns to the TO:: TO: You heard him. Drive. ::Hits his badge again:: *CTO*: I'm hoping the commotion we're about to cause will distract them long enough for you to locate the boy. Can you confirm?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: We won't lose much time going around :P up a scheme of the shield in the buggy's navigation screen::
Able says:
::Grits his teeth, more in concern.::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Takes the padd and shows it to Able, simply keeping a hateful gaze on the XO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Puts the vehicle into gear and begins head toward the village.  Waits until they are away from the children before putting the pedal down and speeds toward the village. Following the nav system around the barrier.
TO Ens York says:
::Heads in the direction shown to him on the Padd at full speed::
Able says:
@CSO: It is the school. ::Bites off the last words::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*  We are a few minutes out, if you can keep them busy we should be able to locate the boy before they know we are here.

@ACTION:  From around the compound, as the people disappear into the nearest building, many inside the school, men with weapons appear.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Keeps his gaze on the XO:: XO: It's a school. Which we're speeding towards with weapons, which we probably could have simply walked to had you not been born retarded. Sir.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Curses at Able's words:: All: This isn't good. ::Taps his badge:: *CTO*: The boy is located inside a school. This could get messy. I'm going to set an explosion near it to attract as much attention as we can to clear the path for you.
TO Ens York says:
XO: Your orders sir? ::Notices the guards::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Listens to the conversation, wondering exactly what the XO has in mind::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@XO: We need to stand down, sir, unless you intend to shoot your way into the school.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*:  Understood sir.  ::Glances at the captain::  CO:  I think we should get close in the vehicle and approach the school on foot.
TO Ens York says:
::Screeches to a stop::

@ ACTION:  As the direction of their boss, the militia heads for the school.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Why are you stopping? Head there. ::Points at a location near the school::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@XO: You've officially lost your mind, Maor. People are going to die if you don't stand down!
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: I agree. And would you oppose leaving your weapon behind?
TO Ens York says:
::Starts moving at speed towards the school::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Heads around the shield and approaches some of the buildings in the village.::  CO:  I defiantly don't like the idea of going in unarmed.
G`tarth says:
@::Getting a report, he stumbles out the door, running to the school, fear pounding his heart.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CSO: One more word of you and I will order to have you stunned, Lieutenant. You will not jeopardies this mission with your insubordination.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I was afraid you were going to say that. Then make sure your weapon is concealed.
CNS Lt Naas says:
@::Near speechless at what's going on around him, and wonders why he didn't study crisis counseling more.::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *CO*: Captain, the XO has lost control. You need to step in, and now!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CNS: Stun him.
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Does nothing to stop the CNS, just glares at the XO::

@ ACTION: Men are heard yelling at the vehicle to stop... weapons are raised to fire....

TO Ens York says:
::Turns from the school at the last minute and drives to the location pointed out by the XO::

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I'll leave my rifle and just bring in my hand phaser and knife but will keep them out of site.  Taliesin will stay here, James can come with us.  ::Pulls the vehicle to a stop next to a building a few down from the school and quickly gets out.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Blinks as she receives the CSO's com::
CNS Lt Naas says:
@::Silently wonders if "just following orders" will get him out of the court-martial as he presses the firing stun, shooting the CSO ::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Through that alley. ::Works on preparing one of the charges::
CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::Grunts and loses consciousness::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Agreed. I think Commander Maor has lost control of his team
TO Ens York says:
@XO: Yes Sir ::A smile appears as he turns down the alley::

@ ACTION: The CSO slumps over.

Able says:
@::Stares in shock, not bothering to hide the horror from his face.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Taliesin:  Stay with the vehicle, keep your weapons hidden and try to stay below the radar.  ::Leads the way toward the school with the captain and James::  CO:  Things sure seem to have taken a turn for the worse, sounds like a mad house ahead of us.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Shakes her head:: *XO*: Gomes to Maor. Find a place to hide and wait for us there.
CNS Lt Naas says:
@Able: Oh, you went through the same thing, don't look like that.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Let’s go in to the school. To see how much we can still save.
G`tarth says:
@::Arriving, he gives orders to protect the children at all costs and then sends his teams around the school.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: We're about to. We're about ready to set the charges.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Hoping they aren't heading into a full on fire fight approaches the school.::

ACTION:  The faces of a couple of children briefly appear at the windows before they duck back down under cover.
