Last time on the Seleya:

The senior staff met up to discuss their current situation and attempt to devise a plan moving forward. The Seleya's own computer has become a threat, with a number of embedded software programs implanted with unknown purposes.

The last one activated caused the Seleya to fire at the surface of Earth destroying a couple Section 31 installations.   This has become the first priority and a plan was put together to attempt a purge of the main computer system.

It's been 12 hours and the engineering team has still been unable to get the purge completed.  Programs are in place to stop such action and the CTO believes someone may be actively blocking the purge.

On the planet Earth below the unrest is growing.  Events of minor situations are starting to escalate; anger and fear are flooding the commlines.  Everyone is seeking an answer and in their need to understand, they are blaming other governments.  Hostility is rising.  And not just on Earth.  The colonies on Mars, Earth's moon and Jupiter's worlds are also dealing with problems and they are laying blame on the Federation and Earth.  As for Starbase one, nothing has been heard from the station in orbit around Earth.

Captain's log, Stardate 11305.05. We are still trying to gather information, while helping control the damage caused by violence on the Federation planets. This lack of information is not a situation I am comfortable with. But we will have to give it our best. The fate of the Federation is on the line.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Slowly, she makes her way to the bridge.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::At his station on the bridge, keeping a watch for any anomalies on the sensors while working to help with the purge or removal of the computer programs.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Enters the bridge from her ready room:: OPS: Do we have any news from Earth?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Sat at his station on the bridge, monitoring communications:: CO: Negative captain, but we do have an incoming transmission from the USS Claymore.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: OPS: On screen.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Taps the command to put the transmission on the main viewer:: CO: On screen, aye.

COMM
Secure Priority One Transmission to All Starfleet Vessels
FROM: Captain T'Shara, Commanding Officer, USS Claymore NCC-80820
Subject: Vroa Technology

Captains,

The Claymore made contact with Hsi Vat on Bajor. After my crew spent some time talking with him we have discovered he is a Starfleet Officer from the Future. This future is a fabricated timeline that should never have happened. It seems a group called

Section 31 tampered with our time line almost a year ago and set us on a course for the Federations downfall. I am told this was unintentional, but we have not confirmed this information.

Hsi Vat has given us a small sample of Vroa technology that helps them communicate and keep track of ground forces while cloaked. This technology is not complete and we only were able to see a sample of such while in our holodeck. I'm sending the data on this technology to all vessels in the hopes we can incorporate it to use against the Vroa.

All Vessels should be warned that the Claymore has detected at least 50,000 Vroa Ground Troops on Bajor as well as a large fleet of scout ships on the planet surface. We assume at this point that there is also a fleet of Vroa somewhere in the system. From what Hsi Vat has told us these attack fleets were used to wipe out major Federation members once the Federation fell. This is a concern since in all the Claymore's dealing with the Vroa in the past have shown that if their first plan fails they will resort to a full open attack. If we have stopped the prophecies the Vroa may commit their forces to open conflict wherever they are hiding.

Captain T'Shara
Commanding Officer
USS Claymore NCC-80820

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Sits down at the mention of "future", her face frozen in a frown::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Having entered the bridge as the message began, she paused just by the door.  At its conclusion, she made her way to her seat... a few things coming clearer to her on her abduction.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Glances around the Bridge at the senior officers, gauging their reactions ::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Sits silently for a moment, finally understanding what these prophecies were all about:: OPS: Did they send any specs or other information?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands staring at the screen for a time after the comm cut trying to digest the numbers of Vroa just on Bajor, what did that mean for Earth?::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: There is something akin to a fact sheet that came along with this message, yes.. I can forward it to you or the senior staff, if you wish.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods to Pandora:: CTO: Take a look at this information, Commander. If it is of any use, implement it.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Taking her seat she turns to look at the captain::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO/CIV: What do you two make of this?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Spots Rose:: SO: Good to see you back on duty Brianna.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Not hearing an objection to share with all senior staff, he forwards the attached file::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to the captain and brings up the information sent to him from Pandora, trying to sift through the information as quickly as possible, to see what they can use.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Thanks, captain.  Maybe I can help a bit with what came through.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: What can you tell us?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CO: We cannot dismiss the technological breakthrough provided here.  Talk of timelines and those which are "supposed to" exist and not are... well, very philosophical discussions.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turning she looks at the incoming data.::  CO:  Hmmm... interesting.  This reminds me of something... give me a few minutes.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Eyes widen slightly as he reads through the data, if they could get this to work this could the piece they needed to stop the Vroa.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I agree, and yet an alternate timeline would explain the prophecies. About this group that supposedly created an alternate timeline, does the information on them match what you and Commander Maor discovered?

ACTION: Earth's moon, an incoming missile of ancient origin is headed for headquarters on the moon.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Captain, this could make a huge difference in our ability to fight the Vroa.  ::Glances around at the people on the bridge, hoping they could trust everyone here.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CO: Section 31?  Their motives are... suspect to begin with.  I have nothing conclusive to mention in their regard.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Picking up a missile, of very old design heading for the moon's headquarters.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: What? Destroy it!

ACTION:  An incoming message to Earth from Mars demanding answers... that a Federation ship was just destroyed trying to attack them.

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Where did it come from?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Lost in looking at the data, she turns to see what the captain is talking about and then realizing it, she turns back to sensors to backtrack the trajectory::

SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It came from Russia... and ma'am, I am picking up other energy signatures of nuclear origin coming online over Earth.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Weapons still offline, attempting to get a tractor lock on it.  ::Brings the tractor emitters online and tries to get a lock on it.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: This is getting out of hand!  ::Nods at the CTO::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: We can launch one of the shuttles, Captain. They still have their weapons operational. 
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I don't know if we have time for that. ::Turns to science:: SO: What is the missile's ETA to the moon?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: But how do we stop all those weapons on Earth?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Frowns at all the developments, wondering if the readings they are getting are correct or not:: CO: With our computer systems compromised, we need to consider the possibility that we are seeing fake information...

ACTION: Multiple missile launches are occurring from Korea, headed to various major governments.

SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It will strike in ten minutes
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances down to his console:: CO: Launch them all on automatic pilot? ::Checks something on his console:: I can launch them all and control them remotely in three minutes time.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Gets a tractor lock on the missile and holds it stationary for the time being, and breathes a sigh of relief.:: CO:  I've got it, luckily it was an old design or it might have had counter measures to tractor tech.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Do it.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Checks his systems to see where the sensors are getting their data feed from::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  We've got more missiles being launched from Korea, targeting other major government centers.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Begins preparing the shuttles::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Notices an incoming message from lunar command:: CO: Captain, I just received a message from our lunar headquarters, requesting our assistance.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Tell them we managed to divert the missile. Ask them what is their status.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: And let's all hope the moon is not already filled with Vroans
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods and sends the reply as ordered::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his console:: CO: Shuttles are being deployed now. ::Begins launching all the shuttles from the various docking bays::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  We need to get a team working on the information from the Claymore, as this may be the key to our survival I'd recommend Lt Rose leading that team.  The information sent to us refers to glasses that can be used to detect cloaked Vroan as well as possibly tap into their tactical network, something similar to the Borg hive mind.  Data that is sent to all ground troops throughout an area so they can see the movements and coordinate accordingly.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Agreed. ::Glances at Rose:: SO: You are the best to deal with this information. Give sensor control to Pandora. No reason to bring additional officers.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Pauses and then nods.::  CO:  I will be in the main lab.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods silently at Rose and looks towards the viewscreen::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turning sensors over to OPS, understanding the captains need for trust, she quickly heads off the bridge, her mind filled with the information the Claymore sent.::  *Engineering*:  I need one of your best optics people.  Have them meet me in sci lab one.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Look over at Taliesin.::  TO:  Go with her, no else allowed in the lab without her or the commands staff’s permission.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Nods to the commander and Follows Rose into the turbolift.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Taliesin::  TO:  I am glad you are here...
SO Lt Rose says:
::As the lift quickly takes them to sci lab, she asks one other of her team to meet her.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: We need a solution. The data sent by the Claymore may help us identify the Vroan troops. But if they are as spread as they appear to be, we need a plan to remove them from the surface.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Frowns as yet another call for help comes in:: CO: Captain, receiving a message from Jupiter station, they are under attack.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Smiles at Rose::  SO:  It’s what I’m here for, have to keep you safe so you can save the universe.  No pressure or anything.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Closes her eyes and she listens to Pandora, then turns to Heller:: CTO: How long will it take us to safely bring weapons back online?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks through the message log as more messages start coming in:: CO: I am also receiving various status updates from Starfleet vessels, inbound to our location. We're going to have several ships arriving over the next 24 hours.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Pauses as she starts to step off the lift::  TO:  What?
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: I hope those are good news.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Still having trouble purging the computer core, but it may be possible to isolate weapons control from the main computer and the rouge programs.  Would have to target manually which would slow our response time but should keep us in control of the weapons.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods his silent agreement, as he turns back to monitoring communications on earth and from the surround space::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Do what you can. We can't sit here while the key facilities of the system are destroyed.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: If we move to Jupiter, will you still be able to control the shuttles?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Shakes his head.::  SO:  Isn't that what the prophesy says?  That you hold the key?  Sorry trying to keep the mood light , though I’ve been told I need to work on my sense of humor.
SO Lt Rose says:
TO:  That is crazy... ::Fear sliding along her spine, she heads toward the main lab and enters.::

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Starts compiling a list of all communications he overhears, trying to figure out a pattern::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I would assume so, Captain. ::Continues destroying missiles:: We may have a situation here. ::Moves to intercept the last remaining missile:: The shuttles just missed one of the missiles, it's going to impact in ten seconds.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks back as Lt Bronson enters::  EO:  Jack... it was you.  ::At the confusion of the engineers face::  Remember those tech designs you showed me a couple years back about adding dimensions to the ships sensors using Borg technology?  I need you to pull those up for me.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I'm on it.  ::Brings up the weapons systems and begins isolating parts of it from the main computer.::  *TO James*:  Get to weapons control, I want you to remove computer connections 3G, 4A, and 7C.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I suppose we can't catch them all. Report on the damage when you have them.

ACTION:  A nuclear explosion blossoms on Earth as one of the ancient missiles hits Iran.

TO Ens James says:
*CTO*:  On my way.  ::Rushes out of the tactical offices and heads for weapons control.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Furiously works at cutting computer access to the weapons systems from his console, though it still appears that someone is actively blocking him.  As he continues his work he tries to trace where someone may be doing that.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::As Jack works on that, she pulls up the info the Claymore had sent out.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Do what you can. ::Tries not to think about the explosion::

ACTION:  On the screen, areas where major manufacturing facilities lie, light up the screen.

TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Takes up position at the main door to the lab after securing all other access into it.  He pulls his phaser rifle in front of him and stands watch, occasionally glancing back at the scientist at work.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: Captain, I am reading explosions at several major manufacturing sites...
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns as the lab doors open::  TO:  It is just Sam.... I need his help.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CO: I'm sure planetary governments have sensors, but we should still contact who we can, now... before someone blames us or Starfleet for this.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Shakes her head:: OPS: What if we send an EM pulse to Earth? Would that stop all these weapons?
TO Ens James says:
::Rushes into the weapons control room and pulls off one of the panels.  Quickly moving through the circuits removing the ones the CTO indicated.::  *CTO*:  Done sir.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: You are right. Can you get on it? They are more likely to trust you than me.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: And half of Earth's power grid.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As Sam joins the pair of them, she points out what they have.::  SO:  Sam, remember that toy you built for your nephews?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I am aware. But if it would save lives....

Amb Envoy Savar says:
CO: I would not doubt that.  ::Moves off to an auxiliary console in the rear of the Bridge and begins tapping into the communications systems ::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*TO*:  Good now reroute weapons guidance systems to my bridge station, and sever access to the main computer and anywhere else.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: But disabling the power would also cost lives.. Just not the same lives...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Earth cannot survive loss of electricity, Captain.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
SO:  Understood Lt.  ::Lets Sam pass but continues his watch of the corridor.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS/XO: It may not survive these attacks either.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: What options do we have? ::Looks around the bridge::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  But if we drop earths power any hope of assistance from them is lost, and I doubt we can do this all on our own.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Eyes widen as he reads the latest report:: CO: Captain... Starbase 1's weapons have come online... They appear to be targeting the Academy...
SO Lt Rose says:
::Watches as Sam pulls up the blueprints::
TO Ens James says:
::Finishes rerouting controls.:: *CTO*:  Reroute complete.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: The shuttles are in firing range of the starbase, Captain. Shall we attempt to disable their weapons?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*TO*:  Good job, stay there in case I need you, but secure entrance to that room.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Send a message to Starbase 1. Tell them that if they don't stand down, we will fire.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Target the station's weapons. Do you think you can get a clean shot?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::After contacting planetwide emergency services dispatch, Savar begins to attempt to contact governments, if any are left ::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: Understood.. ::Sends the requested message::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Yes, but I am concerned about the missiles on the Earth's surface. If we divert shuttles we can't target them anymore.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Brings up the ships weapons systems.::  CO:  I believe I can
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Tries again to send the message as the first did not get through:: CO: Captain, I am having trouble with communications... ::Gets another failure message and tries to route through a different subsystem::
SO Lt Rose says:
SO:  That is it... Jack... if we can combine the two, we might be able to make something usable to see these Vroa.  I am going to leave you two on that.  I am going to take Jack's info and see what I can do with sensors.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at Pandora and then turns to Heller:: CTO: If we fire without warning them, we will look like the attackers. But I can't let them destroy the Academy. Once they begin charging weapons, fire to disable them.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Is managing to get ahold of some smaller local political figures, who demand answers that Savar does not have - what has happened, who is coming to help, when will this stop ::
SO Lt Rose says:
TO:  I need to go to engineering.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Turns his attention briefly to another report coming in:: CO: Fighters launching from our lunar bases, heading straight for earth..
TO Ens Foster says:
::Works her way through engineering looking for any signs of someone blocking their attempts to regain computer control::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Nods to Rose.::  Understood Lt.  Will the rest of your team be remaining?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at the others::  TO:  Yes... I think they have this in hand.  I have an idea for sensors that I can best play with down in engineering.

ACTION:  Phaser fire disrupts from the station, striking the academy.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Understood captain.  Should we send out a general broadcast informing every one of our intentions?  ::Targets the stations weapons systems.::  
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Fire!
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Fires at the stations phaser emitters.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Open a general broadcast.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Taps a few commands:: CO: Broadcasting on all frequencies now, captain...
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Nods to Rose.::  SO:  I will come with you and send someone else here to watch them.  ::Turns back into the lab and instructs them to lock the main door once they leave.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::The feeling of having run out of time nips at her heels as she makes her way to engineering almost at a run.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::The more people he contacts, the worse the situation seems.  Humans are so pitifully ruled by their emotions. ::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Took out half of the stations phaser emitters, retargeting the rest.  ::Resets his targeting parameters, it had been a long time since he'd had to target the ships systems manually and his aim was slightly off.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::As she runs, Jacks original plans mesh in her head with what the Claymore had sent and she mutters under her breath::  It might work... it needs to work...
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Solar System: This Captain Alexandra Gomes of the USS Seleya. We have and will continue to fire against anyone targeting locations within the system. I don't know who you think you are fighting or why. You are fighting because the Vroa manipulated us into doing so. I will not let them take over the solar system!
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Gets a new lock on the remaining phaser emitters and opens fire just as the stations phasers begin to fire again.::

ACTION:  The fighters from the moon, come to a stop mid-way to Earth, still in formation... waiting.

CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Solar System: My objective is to disable all weapons without any causalities.  And I welcome everyone willing to help us.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Close the channel
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Closes the channel as ordered::
SO Lt Rose says:
::As they enter engineering, she makes her way to the sensor and shields console, still muttering under her breath.::

ACTION:  The Seleya's phaser fire takes out the last of the stations emitters though not before one of them got its last shot off and it streaks down to hit the academy.

Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Further demands come in from those he is talking to... proof.  Proof of the duplicity, proof that the Earth isn't under a new civil war.  The best thing Savar has is the Claymore intelligence - although he might consider it to be somewhat confidential, he prepares a moderated version and transmits it ::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks up as Paul joins her and quickly tells him what she is going to do... while doing it.  As he gets the gist, he starts to help.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Stations phaser emitters are all offline.  Minor damage to the surrounding areas of the station.  Targeting the torpedo launchers now, will fire if they target as well.  Though the resulting explosions of the torpedoes may cause more damage to the station.
TO SCPO Gregson says:
::Arrives at the science lab after getting the message from Taliesin and takes up position at its door.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods::CTO: Good job ::Does not sound particularly happy::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Thankfully much of the work is already in place thanks to Jack's original idea that never got implemented for whatever reasons she no longer remembered.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: What is the status on the surface?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Checks to see where those fighters have gone::
SO Lt Rose says:
::As the last parameters are inputted she hits the comm button.::  *OPS*:  I am shifting sensor parameters.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Everything is under control, for now.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*SO*: Understood... ::Checks the sensor system and initiates a new sweep of the area::

ACTION:  As the sensors go through the new set up, across the screen can be seen Vroa ships waiting in the background... over a hundred.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Hadn't even noticed she got up at some point in the last hour. She sits down again, nodding at Maor::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::As Starfleet's reports finally sink in to the political figures, he starts becoming inundated with requests for assistance, or requests of how to handle the situation - likely something they've never had to do before ::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Blinks at the Vroan ships::All: I see Lt. Rose managed to implement those specs.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up sharply as the sensors show numerous blips pop up on the sensors.:: CO:  She did it, we are now picking up over a 100 Vroan ships in the area.
SO Lt Rose says:
*OPS*:  Is it working?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I suggest we make no move to alert them that we can now see them until we come up with a plan and perhaps until the other ships get here.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Now we have to send this information to Earth and to those ships coming to the system, without triggering all those ships to attack.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks at the viewscreen, then back at his console before responding:: *SO*: It would look like it did, Lieutenant..
SO Lt Rose says:
*OPS*:  Good... I am heading back to the lab to work on some sort of glasses... I understand this system is like the Borg.  We need to be able to see what they are seeing.  I think we have an idea... :: talking more to herself at the end, she quickly leaves engineering.::
