Last time on the Seleya:

In the aftermath of the Vroa attack on Earth a group of pirates moved in to gut Starbase 1 of anything of value while Starfleet was busy licking its wounds, and trying to clean up the rubble.  When Starfleet was able to send an engineering team to the starbase they soon lost contact and the Seleya was dispatched to investigate.

The XO took the captains yacht over with a team to investigate.  They discovered a devise in ops that generated interference which blocked sensors and communications.  Once this device was shut down the interference in part of the station dropped but it became apparent there were at least two more such devices.  One in the main shuttle bay and the other on the Promenade.

The XO led his team to the shuttlebay to discover a ship docked there.  Configuration matching a known pirate crew.  Upon confronting the ship a brief firefight ensued and 5 of the pirate crew were captured before the rest retreated to their ship.

The leader demanded to be let go or he would kill the hostages.  A prisoner exchange was agreed upon, 5 of the pirate crew for 5 of the engineers.  Arrangements are being made for the exchange.  A tracker has also been placed on the pirate's ship as well.

Captain's log, Stardate 11307.28. We are in the middle of a hostage exchange, much to my dismay. It will be very unfortunate if we have to let the pirates go. But the lives of our officers come first.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::At his station on the bridge watching the sensors and coordinating with his team on the prisoner exchange.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Sitting in the big chair, listening in on the conversation on the ground. She speaks without taking her eyes from the viewscreen:: CTO: Are we receiving the signal from the tracker they placed?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Waiting for a confirmation from the bridge that the exchange is ready::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Yes captain, signal coming in clear.  ::Looks down as he receives a message.::  Prisoners are ready.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at the CTO and glances towards the duty OPS with a silent order, then back at the CTO:: CTO: Send an encoded message to Starfleet. Request permission to pursue.
OPS Clark says:
*XO*: Seleya to commander Maor. We are ready to make the exchange.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to the captain and opens a channel to Starfleet making the request.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*OPS*: Acknowledged. ::Opens a new channel to the pirate ship:: COM: Pirate Ship: We are ready to exchange the prisoners. We are ready to beam them to your location as soon as you release your prisoners.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Receives a response from Starfleet.::  CO:  Permission granted, we are clear to pursue.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Do you have an estimate of the range of the tracker? How much of a head start can we give them?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Thank you. They won't get away easily.
Tankard says:
@COMM: XO:  As I said commander have them beamed just outside of the security office.  My men there will handle the exchange.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ COM: Pirate Ship: Tankard: We need some sort of guarantee you'll uphold your side of the exchange.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Wonders whether the pirates will give at least a little::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@COMM: XO: Beam them outside of the security office, send some of your own men there if you like, they can oversee the exchange.  Send my men in and we will send yours out at the same time.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Maor to Gomes.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps her badge as she hears Maor's voice::*XO*: Go ahead.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: I'm heading to oversee the exchange in the security office. Do you wish for me to engage if the opportunity arises? ::Begins making his way toward the security office:: OPS: Keep an eye on them along with one of the security officers. I'm heading to the security office. ::Motions for one of the security officers to accompany him::
Tankard says:
@::Begins making preparations for their departure,  Has the shuttlebay's door opened so they can be ready to go as soon as the exchange is complete.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Only if there is a good chance of no causalities on our side. We are ready to pursue once they leave the base.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  We should be able to pick up the signal from a decent distance.  Giving them a few minute head start at least.
TO LtJG James says:
@::Nods to the commander and follows him.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: Sounds good. We have to minimize the chance they know they are being followed.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Makes his way toward the security office::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I will track it as it leaves and wait till the last moment to pursue.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods, staying in the shuttlebay::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Remembers something, he sends the FCO back to the ship with the shuttle::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  The ship is preparing to leave, they've opened the main shuttlebay doors.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Prepare to beam over.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: I doubt they'll leave without their men first.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Ok, it is the moment of truth
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*:  The shuttlebay doors have been opened.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Arrives at the security office:: *CO*: Send them one by one, on my mark each time. Mark.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at OPS who should be listening::
Izza says:
@::Watches as he sees a Starfleet commander approach the security office and waits for the exchange to begin, keeping out of site as much as possible.::
OPS Clark says:
::Initiates the first transport::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Motions for James to hold the prisoner:: Out loud: Send your first prisoner. 
Izza says:
@::As the first transport begins he signals to his companion to pick an engineer and pushes him out the door, then opens a channel.::  *Tankard*:  We've begun the exchange.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Motions for James to send the release the first prisoner once the engineer is half way::
TO LtJG James says:
@::Watches as the engineer stumbles towards them. Then gives the prisoner a push toward the office.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Continues with the same routine for the rest of the prisoners::
Tankard says:
@*Izza*:  Good we will move the ship out and prepare to leave.  We will beam you out as soon as the exchange is complete then get out of here.  ::Turns and nods to his helmsman, before moving to a station and begins punching in a series of commands.::

@ACTION:  The pirate ship begins to slip out of the shuttlebay taking up a position just outside ready to depart.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@*XO*: Commander, the pirate ship is leaving the docking bay..

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *OPS*: Understood. Be ready to beam out as soon as they leave.
Izza says:
@::Watches as the last of the prisoners are exchanged.::  *Tankard*:  Prisoner exchange complete captain.  Ready for pickup.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Pirate ship is preparing to go to warp.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *Bridge*: Beam us out, Seleya.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS Clarke: Bring our people back.
OPS Clark says:
::Once again activates the transporter, beaming the Seleya crewmembers to transporter room 3::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Let's give them a few minutes.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Plot a pursue course but do not engage.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Frowns at his sensors.::  CO:  I'm picking up an energy buildup on their ship.  It looks like their warp core is about to breach.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Self destruct? Will it harm the station?
Tinson says:
@COMM:  Seleya: We've got a breach request assistance, get us out of here.  ::Desperation in his voice.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: This is very fishy.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Beam all of the crew to the brig. Filter out any weapon you identify.
OPS Clark says:
::Configures the transporters for the new order before initiating:: CO: Aye captain.
Tankard says:
@::Smiles to himself as he feels the familiar sensation of the transporter take effect and finds himself in a different ship though is surprised to his wife has a young Starfleet Lt unconscious at her feet.  Moving forward he helps dump the Lt out the airlock before they detach the ship and bring it to warp.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps her badge::*XO*: We have the pirates in the brig. Their core was going critical. Pay them a visit.

@ACTION:  The captain's yacht turns from the station and enters warp streaking away from the station.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I detected two lifesigns on the yacht captain but it’s just left at warp.  Was unable to get a lock on them before they left.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: What? Can we track it?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Exits the transporter room after transport is complete and makes his way towards the bridge::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I suggest we remotely disable it. I doubt they managed to override our security protocols this quickly.

@ACTION:  The energy buildup from the pirates ship reaches a peak as the core goes critical, exploding into a massive ball of fire.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shakes his head.::  CO:  They've masked their warp signature somehow, I can't get an accurate read on their heading, and the interference from the explosion isn't helping any.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Try it.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Move to pursue. Engage when ready.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Attempts to regain control of the ship remotely::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO/CTO: Do we have a reading on Lt Keller?

ACTION:  All communications to the yacht are being blocked.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Enters the bridge and takes over from Clark::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I'm picking up a lifesign at the shuttlebay airlock.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Scan for Keller and beam him over, dead or alive. Alert sickbay.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: No luck, Captain. Maybe one of our prisoners can clue as in as to their intentions. ::Makes his way toward the brig::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Agreed.

ACTION:  Keller is beamed to sickbay, unconscious but otherwise mostly unharmed.

ACTION:  The Seleya engages warp and flies off in pursuit, though soon losing the trail.
