Last time on the Seleya:

The Seleya is in orbit around Earth while the first officer had taken an away team to the planet below, starting at the Academy where he had been invited.

Greeted by a security officer, the AT was taken to the administration building and shown into one of the conference rooms.  Shortly upon arriving, one of the academy professors arrive to greet them having been informed she knew nothing of their arrival or purpose but had been sent to be their guide.  And that she knew of no Admiral Hark.

The next thing they know the SO has been beamed out suddenly.  The AT react accordingly, which includes threatening the professor.  The XO takes a few people with him to speak with someone in charge while the CTO takes a team to get a shuttle and head back to the ship.

Captain's log, Stardate 11303.24. I am waiting to hear an update from the away team. I expect to have fresh news from Earth soon, so we can solve this riddle and finally go after the Vroa.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11303.24: I'm still meeting with representatives in Starfleet in an attempt to make heads and tails of who lured us here, so far with little success.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Enters the bridge from her ready room::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Sitting in the shuttle with the FCO.::  FCO:  We ready to get going?  I want to get back to the ship as soon as possible.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#::Sitting at the CONN of the shuttle, ready to head up to the ship:: CTO: I have takeoff clearance.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@::Steps out of the Turbolift onto the Bridge, needing a change of scenery....sickbay was too quiet..::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Nods to Keller.::  FCO:  Let’s get going then.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Waiting for yet another admiral to meet them in the conference room they were escorted to::
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#::Gets the shuttle off the ground, moving it gently out of the hangar.:: 
Amb Envoy Savar says:
XO: If an adversarial species was attempting to destabilize our command and control structure, this seems a somewhat effective method.

#ACTION:  The shuttle heads out of the hanger and heading towards space.

CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Captain. Any news of the Easter egg hunt?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: By wasting our time?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Watching the sensors on the shuttle.::  FCO:  Looks like we have a shadow.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::As she walks to her chair, she glances surprised at the new arrival:: CMO: Commander York, good to see you up here. I am waiting for an update from the planet. Please do join me. ::Points to the empty XO chair::
Cmdr Lorren says:
::Keeping her thoughts to herself, at least until she knows more, she leads the group to the Admiral Winright who is in charge for the day.::
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#CTO: I see it.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CIV: We cannot accurately verify anyone's identity, and thus everyone is suspect.  A single piece of misinformation has caused significant concern and confusion to us alone.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@::Looks suspiciously at the command chair before moving over and sitting down:: CO: Not my usual spot.
TO James says:
::With Commander Maor and the others.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Sits down:: CMO: I can use the company. ::Glances up at the viewscreen showing Earth:: CMO: Were you born here too?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: This is the Dominion war all over again, maybe we can try the blood samples plan again.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Crawls through some Jeffries Tube on deck 8::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#FCO:  We'll keep an eye on it and try to get back to the ship as quickly as we can.  I have shields up and will watch the sensors.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: I was. ::Not wanting to dwell on it::
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#CTO: Got it. ::Gives the shuttle full throttle.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Taps a few commands into his console, opening a channel to the Seleya.::  COMM:  CO:  Heller to Gomes.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Haven't been back in years...no real reason to I guess.
Adm Winright says:
::Looking harassed, enters his outer office to see those waiting.  His eyes land on Lorren with a look of question.::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Makes some sounds like aaaaaaahhhh, and oooooooohhhh, and eeeeeeeeeehhh::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Notes York chose not to elaborate on the subject:: CMO: I don't like it when missions....::Stops mid-sentence as she hears the com and taps her chair::

#ACTION:  As the shuttle exits the atmosphere, the shadow begins to fire.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@COM: CTO: Gomes here. ::Someone informs her of the weapons fire::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@Self: Oh, nice acoustics here. Next time I'll bring mister Biggins. ::Starts to sing::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CIV: Then again, we can just shoot anyone we see.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#::Shakes with the shuttle.:: Self: So much for speed.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#COMM: CO:  We are headed back to the Seleya via shuttle, we've got company, they don't seem to want us to return safely.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#Computer: Reduce inertial dampeners to 99%.
TO Taliesin says:
@CO:  We are picking up the commander’s shuttle, they are under fire.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Gets up:: All: Red alert.  aFCO: Take us to the shuttle.
Adm Winright says:
::Turns to the officer at the tilt of Lorren’s head::  XO:  What is going on here?

#ACTION:  The shuttles shields go down.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: We are on our way.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@TO: Get a lock on our shuttle's crew and bring them back. Then fire at will.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#::Pulls the shuttle into a series of tight turns to try and shake the shadow.:: CTO: Hold on.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: I don't understand. Where is Earth's defense?
TO Taliesin says:
@CO:  Shuttles shields are down, they won't survive another hit.  ::Targets the attacker and tries to get a lock on the shuttle crew.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Admiral: You tell us. We were summoned here by Starfleet under a pretense of more information regarding our mission. Your office tells us no such orders were given, we got suspicious.

ACTION:  Another shot is fired and the shuttle disintegrates.

CMO LtCmdr York says:
@::Taps his commbadge:: *Sickbay*: Sickbay prepare for casualties.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@TO: Please tell me we got them.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Perhaps they have been infiltrated as well....one would think Starfleet would learn from the Dominion war?
Adm Winright says:
::With a slight growl under his voice he motions the group into his office.::
TO Taliesin says:
@::Breaths a sigh of relief.::  CO:  We've got them, they are in transporter room 1
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: If they are on Earth, then can be anywhere.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@::Lets out a huge sigh after arriving in the transporter room:: CTO: That was too close!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Moves to follow the admiral:: CIV: You got your phaser ready? ::Under his breath::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Finds himself in transporter room one, he looks over at Heller and Olympia.::  FCO:  Too close, someone didn’t want us back here it seems.

ACTION:  Upon destruction of the shuttle, the vessel cloaks.

CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Why is no one hailing? Asking questions. You just don't fire weapons in Earth atmosphere without some consequences!
TO Taliesin says:
@::Goes to fire at the vessel.::  CO:  The attacking vessel cloaked, can't pick it up on sensors.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@FCO:  Let’s get to the bridge.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CTO: Agreed. After you.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: I think a talk with Earth security is in order?
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Sits down at a junction and starts whistling::
Adm Winright says:
::Makes certain the door is closed behind the group before address them::  XO: We have had been told innumerous things.  To be blunt, I have no idea any more what to believe.  It is as if we are constantly chasing a red herring.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Heads out of the TR and enters the nearest lift and waits for the FCO before ordering it to the bridge.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Nods to Taliesin, then to York:: CMO: But they can't be in full control, or the planet's defense forces would have taken us already.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@::Steps in behind the CTO::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Well either they are in key positions, or Earth defense is manned with scarecrows.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::As the lift comes to a stop he steps out onto the bridge.::
TO Taliesin says:
@::Sees the CTO enter the bridge.::  CO/CTO:  The ship that attacked the shuttle had a federation signature.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@TO: What is the status of Earth's defense forces? Is there any mention of the weapons fire we just witnessed?
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@TO: A federation ship with a cloaking device?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CTO: Glad you're in one piece, Commander. Sek just finished making the biobeds...for the third time this shift.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in understanding:: Admiral: Considering neither of us can trust each other and you seem lacking in new information I suggest we part ways, it's high time we'll get back to our mission as it is.
TO Taliesin says:
@CO:  Nothing from the defense force about any of it.
SO Perez says:
@CO: Captain, I am picking up a signal on the surface. In north America, western coast. It is not terran and it should not be there.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@FCO: Take the helm. Bring us in stationary orbit over California.
Adm Winright says:
XO:  No so quickly.  I do have information that the Seleya was to come here.  Nothing more.  And I was told not to trust anyone or anything.  You think you may have run of the academy?  I do not think so.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: Aye sir. ::Takes over the CONN for the helm officer.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: What happened at the Academy?
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Enjoys the acoustics::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  It seems the Admiral who requested our presence wasn't actually an admiral.  Just after we discovered that fact Lt Rose was beamed off the planet.  We haven't been able to track where she went.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@TO: Don't you think it's a good idea to tell them, then?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Raises from his seat:: Admiral: Do you honestly think I'll allow you to stop me fully knowing my part in this mission?  For that matter, do you think anyone in Starfleet will back you up if something were to happen to me? Let's get one thing clear here, we came here seeking answers, this little delay may have already cost Starfleet more than it can afford to lose.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: Earth was infiltrated then. Did it seem like Brianna was the target? Is she the one mentioned in the prophecy?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Admiral: Unless you have someone in Starfleet that can actually shed some light on why we're here I don't see any other reason for us to keep each other any longer.
Adm Winright says:
XO:  Yes, I will have you thrown in the brig.  We do have them here.  I need answers as much as you do.  And I need some proof before I let you or anyone else have access to the academy.  ::Frowns::  Why the academy?
TO Taliesin says:
@::Moves to the secondary tactical station, giving the doctor a flat look before opening a channel.::  COMM: Starfleet Defense Force:  We had a shuttle return to the Seleya and was fired upon and destroyed before it reached us.  Did you pick up anything out of the norm?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
Adm/XO: Gentlemen.  We are all on the same side here.  There is little use for bickering and threats.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: Or could ..::Stops in mid-sentence and turns to York:: CMO: How sure can we be that the survivors from Starbase 5 are our crew?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@::Looks over at Gomes:: CO: About as sure as I am of next week's lottery numbers.
Adm Winright says:
::Turns toward the Vulcan::  Amb: Do you have any suggestion to this dilemma?
FCO LtJG Keller says:
#::Spins his head around hearing the CMO.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Admiral: We were called here, whoever did that must have had a reason for us to be here. If they wanted to delay us they would have sent us much further from here. All my instincts tell me there's a reason for us to be here, denying us access might cost us this war.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: I was afraid of that. ::turns to the viewscreen:: All: At the same time, we have to find Rose, or we will never know.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  It seems likely that she may be the one in the prophecy, at least from the information we have at the moment.  I returned to the ship to see if we can find anyway to track her transport.  We removed our combadges as a precaution in case that was how they were able to beam out Rose.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Now he started to relax from all those people he could finally get his thoughts focused::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@FCO: Yes?
Adm Winright says:
::Grinds his teeth in frustration::  XO:  Very well.  How I can help and why you are here, I do not know.  And if you are under the same dictate as I, who you should trust is up in the air.  How can I help?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: Good idea, as far as we know they have all the information we have aboard. We will try to track her badge from here. You should go check the signal science just picked up.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CMO: Noth- Nothing Commander.
TO Taliesin says:
@::Gets a response from the defense force, they hadn't detected anything.  He forwards them the information on the Seleya's scans of the attacking vessel.::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::The whistling stops and not a sound can be heard::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@FCO: You know the exact location Rose was beamed from. Work with science to begin searching the system for her.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Admiral: Help? We need unrestricted access and no escort. Honestly, we trust no one at this point. Not even you.
Adm Winright says:
::Looks to the ambassador::
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: Aye sir, no problem.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::He starts to think on the crew, on what he observed. Because that's what he did over the past few weeks. Observing. That's what he always does.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Understood.  ::Pulls up the location from science and directs the sensors to that area, trying to clear up what they were picking up.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO/CTO: Do we have any information on how to detect a cloaked Vroa?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
Adm: I do not have sufficient information to form an opinion.  Completely unregulated access may not be required, if that is a contentious point.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  Not that we've been able to discover and nothing in the intel reports on doing so either.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Thinks that the CMO is some rude person::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: None, I am running constant tests on what little DNA we recovered from the bombing.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@Self:  And where's .... ::Taps her badge::*CNS*: Gomes to Baro. Please report to the bridge immediately.
Adm Winright says:
Amb:  Honesty.  I can accept that for now.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: You should go with Heller, investigate this signal. it might be a coincidence but we all know that is highly unlikely. If it is a Vroan signal, we can use it to identify them.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Bumps his head to the edge of the JT at the sudden incoming com:: *CO*: Ouch! What? Right captain. ::Taps his badge to close the channel::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@FCO: Anything on tracking that transporter signal?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Frowns at the odd response from Baro::
Adm Winright says:
XO:  Very well... I will let security and faculty know that you are doing an inspection and have open access.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Alright.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: Not much. I haven't been able to track down where she went, but it looks like it may have been a federation transporter. Someone went to great lengths to cover it up, though.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: CIV: Let’s go. ::Moves to leave the room::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Not that I would ever dream of telling you what to do....but I would check in with Earth defense.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@FCO: Then it had to either be a vessel in orbit, or she is still on the surface.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@Self: They never let you think, they never do. Damned people. How am I supposed to do my work this way? Right, erm, what way do I need to go to get out of these tubes? Oh dear, oh dear.
Adm Winright says:
::Sits down at his desk and gives the order.::
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: There were a ton of proxies that the signal went through, but it could be a ship in orbit. 
TO Taliesin says:
@CMO/CO:  I have done so doctor, they didn't pick up anything about the shuttle attack, I forward them our data.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Crawls through some tubes, hoping he'll find an exit::

ACTION:  As the XO leaves the admiral’s office, he catches the glimpse of a familiar face just before the individual steps into a nearby lift.

CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: So far they know less than we do. But I take your point, they might have records of the transporter signal. ::Turns to Keller:: FCO: Check with Earth's defense and with Planetary Operations. Ask them whether they tracked a transporter signal in Starfleet academy.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: She's somewhere in Earth orbit. With all these redirects, her pattern would start degrading if she went too far.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Notices someone nearby:: CIV: I need a second, Savar. Don't wander off. ::Moves to follow the person inside the TL::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@Self: Oh dear, was it left or right here? Or just straight on? Oh dear. I think I'm lost.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO/TO: This is the most heavily defended planet in this quadrant. There should be something they can do. Thinking that our ship can just run the show is childish.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Follows quickly ::  XO: Maybe it's you that shouldn't wander off...
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CMO: I do hope you are right, Commander.
TO James says:
::Follows after the XO and Amb with her security team.::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO: Usually am, Captain. ::Smirks::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Bumps into a closed door:: Self: Damnit, ouch!
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: I've checked with Planetary Operations, but they don't have any more information.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses in mid step as he hears the CIV remark:: CIV: Don't speak or acknowledge the person I'm about to talk to until we exit the TL. ::Enters the TL::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@Self: How does this door open?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@FCO: So no one on the surface tracked this transporter beam?
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@CO: They recorded it, but they don't have a destination. 
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Accesses the console next to the door and enters some commands. Luckily the door opens.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Unidentified Person: Did they have what I asked for? ::Orders the TL to stop::
SO Perez says:
@All: Another similar signal, on the other side of the planet.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Finds himself on some corridor, based on the door markings he's on deck 6::
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Heads for the nearest turbolift::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@Perez: Show us a map of Earth's surface with the two signals.
Unidentified Person says:
::Nods and hands the XO a PADD::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CO/TO: One would think that with the hundreds of satellites and ships in orbit, this would be noticed.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::As the SO shows them, she looks at the map:: All: The other one seems to be at or near Jakarta. Two highly populated areas ....
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Enters the turbolift and takes a ride to the bridge, while rubbing his head because of the bumps::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Grabs the PADD and allows the TL to resume, moments later he leaves the TL:: CIV: We need to get to a communicator.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CMO:  It would seem someone has tampered with the system, we can't trust their readings at the moment.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Another blinky light pops up in Tokyo:: All: ...also seats of local governments .... Could these be transporter signals? From the cloaked vessel?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::After they are out ::  XO: I don't want to ask, do I?
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Exits the turbolift, with a mild headache now, and seemingly a little bit annoyed because the CO disturbed him::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  We can't get much else from the sensors, they seem to have an ability to mask their signals quite well, from what I've seen of Vroa tech I'm not surprised.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Looks over at the lift as the doors open to a slightly disturbed counselor:: CNS: Are you alright?
CNS Ens Baro says:
@CO: Not really captain, I bumped my head twice.
CO Capt Gomes says:
@CTO: From the first time we met them, I knew we couldn't fight back their technology. We have to be smarter than that. But I have to admit that I am running out of ideas.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@CNS: Might set you right?
CO Capt Gomes says:
@::Raises an eyebrow at the CNS:: CNS: Well, unless you have a medical condition, in which case you should go to sickbay. I expect all my officers to report to their stations under a red alert.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@::Wonders where his station actually is::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@CO:  We may have to head to the surface to see what else we can discover about these signals.
CNS Ens Baro says:
@CO: Yes captain.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
@::Points at the Counselor's seat:: CNS: Here, Sparky.
FCO LtJG Keller says:
@::Suddenly remembers that Rose had been rubbing her arm before she was beamed out.::
