Last time on the Seleya:

All is quiet on the ship.  While below, the crew of the Nevsky are slowly being inadvertently located.

Underground, the CTO has found a group from the Nevsky being led down a tunnel by a handsome people with skin covered in scales that shimmers in the light.  He witnessed an altercation between a group of teens that was mediated by adults.  When the boys left, the girl remained behind and has accidentally discovered the CTO.  He has asked her a question, but she does not understand the language.

The SO was taken by a nomadic people that are tall and have three limbs.  Their skin is covered by very fine hair.  As only the women appear to have weapons, it appears to be a matriarchal society.  Taken into a large tent guarded by warriors, she discovers a group of the Nevsky.  As she waits for those who brought her in to leave so she can speak with them, the two guards are knocked out and phaser fire can be heard.

The XO, sent to rescue the science officer and others at his discretion, wearing a suit that shields him, followed the warriors inside.  He takes one out quietly but it alerts the other who quickly turned and he responded by using a phaser.  The sound of the phaser has alerted those outside that something is wrong and they are running in.

Aboard the shuttle, OPS works on keeping the shuttle from being seen.  Not quite so easy as one would want and be able to stay near-by.  Especially near a people a nomadic people.  The counselor quietly watches and observes.

Captain's log, Stardate 11309.08. I am afraid the prime directive is long broken, but I suspect the Nevsky did it before we have. I am glad we found at least part of her crew. Hopefully the situation can be fixed with proper diplomacy, if only I still had an Ambassador aboard

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11309.08: I've finally made contact with the SO, unfortunately, my presence was detected. We are getting ready to flee the area.

<<<<<<<<< Not to be forgotten... IV>>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
@::Backing away from the mayhem suddenly appearing around them.  She shifts backward to keep out of the way, her eyes going towards the exit contemplatively::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::At the shuttle's controls, monitoring sensors closely for more lifesigns near or approaching the shuttle::
SO Lt Crimson says:
::At sensors, looking for more of the Nevsky crew on the planet.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@SO: Are you ready? ::Prepares a smoke charge:: We really need to go.
Solda says:
#::Looking up at the strange male, trying to understand what he just said.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Recognizing the first officer’s voice she nods her head, glancing at the others.::
Turrin says:
@::Hearing a noise from inside the prisoner tent she signals for the other guard to warn the others as she turns to duck inside the tent to investigate.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Notices a new guard arriving, he moves to incapacitate her:: SO: Are you done with the suit? We don't have much time.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Moving closer to the XO she pauses as others enter the tent.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Sees the look of confusion on the girls face::  Self:  Figures it wouldn't be that easy.   ::Looks back at her he smiles, hopefully with some time the universal translator might be able to figure out the language.::  Solda:  I'm Max, ::Points to himself.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Moves the shuttle slowly to his right, before beginning to turn it back towards the drop-off point::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*OPS*: I have a problem here, Commander. There are more Starfleet officers here than I first thought. I'm going to need a distraction.
CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: What is taking then so long? ::Turns to science::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Have we figured out what caused the transporter malfunction in the first place? Can we fix it?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ All: On my mark, we run toward the trees. We have a shuttle waiting.
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  Captain, I believe I have picked up another group of the Nevsky.  They are located... ::A flashing light on her console catches her eyes and she turns.::  Captain, I am picking up three signals incoming.
Torrin says:
@::Calls out briefly as she is hit by something she can't see before losing consciousness.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@*XO*:Understood, I'll figure something out... ::Looks around quickly to see something he can use as distraction::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Cuts open the back of the tent, he glances around to make sure their path is clear::
Sulan says:
@::Hears the call of surprise from her fellow guard as she moves away from the tent she raises yells to the rest of the camp::
Solda says:
#::Now that the others have passed, she slowly stands.::  CTO:  Max?  ::Considers and then smiles and points to herself::  Solda.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Seeing the cut appear, she quickly moves, glancing at the other Starfleet officers.::

@ACTION:  The camp around the prisoner tent begins to boil with activity as warriors grab up weapons and begin converging on the tent

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Finds a collection of rocks near the top of the hill and locks on with the shuttle's tractor beam, starting a rockslide::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Hears the rumbling sounds:: All: Here we go! ::Sets the smoke charge on a five second timer:: Go! ::Waits for everyone to take off::
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Seeing warriors approach the tent she shifts to stand beside it, waiting for the first officers instructions, hoping he had something.  She already knew she could not outrun these people.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Incoming....what?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Outside the system.  They appear to be ships.  Computer does not recognize them.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Smiles and sits up, not making any threatening moves.::  Solda:  It’s nice to meet you Solda.  What’s that?  ::Points to the furry thing the boys had taken from her.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Notices the sudden outbreak of activity at the camp and turns the shuttle that way, getting lower still to allow for a quick boarding::
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  They are small and swift.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Yellow alert.

@ACTION:  Confusion reigns in the camp as the rockslide begins.  Some of the warriors keep enough calm to start shooting arrows at the fleeing prisoners, striking one in the leg.

CO Capt Gomes says:
aOPS: Open hailing frequencies.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Sees the smoke and sets down close to it, opening the hatch while on the approach::
SO Lt Crimson says:
::Eyes open wide::  CO:  Very swift... eta about ten minutes.  Not picking up any lifesigns.... but hard to tell at this distance.
OPS Clark says:
::Nods, opening hailing frequencies to the unknown ships:: CO: Hailing frequencies open.

ACTION:  Hailing frequency opened.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Begins helping the fallen prisoners inside the shuttle::
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Signals: This is the Federation Starship USS Seleya, please identify yourselves.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Could they be drones? Who do we know would send out drones with this speed and precision?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Looks over the scans of the unknown ships trying to determine tactical information, weapons load out etc.::
Solda says:
#::Looks down at what he is pointing at and looks up a bit embarrassed.::  CTO: It is Dazhuray... he has been my friend since I was a child.  ::pets the furball and smiles as its eyes open up.::

ACTION: The ship goes to yellow alert.  But silence is all they get from comms.

Sulan says:
@::Moves through the chaos of the camp trying organize a group to follow after the escaped prisoners, launching arrows at where she last saw them.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Takes a deep breath::All: Alright, this won't be fixed this way
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Looks back at the approaching warriors... her crewmates were nuts.::
OPS Clark says:
CO: No response, captain...
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Can we disable them?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Looks over his shoulder to see if all are aboard yet::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Shoves the last prisoner inside the shuttle:: OPS: Go!
CO Capt Gomes says:
aOPS: Just one more message Mr. Clarke.
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  Unknown captain.   I have them better on sensors.  No life signs, but weapons charged.
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Incoming: If you do not respond, we will assume you are hostile either to us or to the people of this planet and will respond accordingly.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Dives in as the shuttle door closes::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Is it clear what they are targeting?
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  They appear to be heading toward us.  Their approach is slowing near the moon.

@ACTION:  Arrows continues to rain sporadically down on the shuttle as the last of the Starfleet personnel stumble aboard.  A few making it inside the shuttle before the door closes but no serious injuries.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Hears the XO and pulls up hard, the hatch still open:: XO: We're moving!
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Turns to tactical:: TO: Red alert. Fire at will. Disable them if you can, destroy them if you must.
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Breathing hard more from the moment then exertion, she moves to get out of the way and help any who may need it.::

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: What a mess. ::Takes off his head piece:: *CO*: Maor to Gomes.
CO Capt Gomes says:
aOPS: Keep an ear out on communications.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: We are in a bit of a pickle here. Go ahead.

ACTION:  The ship goes to red alert.  Phasers fire at the incoming vessels.  The phaser fire is absorbed and their shielding can be seen to glow brighter.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#Solda:  Dazhuray?  ::Smiles as he reaches carefully over to pet the small furball.::
OPS Clark says:
CO: Aye captain. ::Goes back to monitoring communications::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Switch to torpedoes. FCO: Evasive maneuvers.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: We have the SO and a few other prisoners. Should we go after the CTO?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods his silent agreement::
SO Solda says:
#::Nods her head::  CTO: Max... ummm... ::Does not know what to say or do, so just lets him pet her friend.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Phasers having no effect captain, their shields seem to be absorbing it.  ::Nods::  Switching to torpedoes.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Have you located him?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Locks onto the nearest vessel and releases a salvo of torpedoes.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Glances at the direction of the OPS:: OPS: Do we know where he is?

ACTION: The three vessels avoid the torpedoes, but continue their approach in a pattern meant to surround the Seleya.

CO Capt Gomes says:
*XO*: Bring as many Starfleet officers as you can but do not return to the ship immediately. We are under attack by drones. Possibly the same that destroied the Nevsky.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@XO: We had a rough fix on him earlier, but what with your extraction, I am not sure... ::Looks at the sensor console::
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Don't let them surround us!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: Are you in a good enough shape to help us find the CTO?
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Give them all we have Mr. Taliesin.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ XO:  Aye, sir.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Pulls his hand back.::  Solda:  I don't want to hurt him.  I am just here looking for some friends of mine.  ::Really hoping the translator will start picking up something soon.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Nods for her to do so, he begins tending the other prisoners::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO/TO: Do their hull signatures match the debris we recovered?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Their weapons are superior to ours captain.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: I suppose you mean that our shields can't take them?
SO Lt Rose says:
# ::Odd how she understands some words but not others::  CTO:  What do you want to do?
OPS Clark says:
CO: Incoming signal, captain, origin unknown...
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: On screen.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Probably not for long.
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  No...
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at SO:: SO: So they aren't the ones who destroyed the Nevsky.
OPS Clark says:
::Taps a few buttons, putting the call on screen::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: So we either move them out of our way, or we run.
SO Lt Crimson says:
CO:  We have no debris from them.  It does not mean they did not fire.  I need them to well... fire for a weapons energy signature.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Smiles as he begins to understand a few words.::  Solda: I'm here looking for some friends of mine, people who look like me  ::Points to himself and remembers he's changed his skin color he changes it back to a more normal huh.::  Look like this.

ACTION:  On the screen, a face appears, wavering as if its molecules are fluid.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the screen with a slight frown::
Dorn says:
COMM:  Alien vessel, you trespass.
Solda says:
#::Jumps back startled and then bows her head::  CTO:  Wise one!  I am sorry... I did not recognize you.  Forgive me.
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Dorn: I am Captain Alexandra Gomes of the Federation Starship USS Seleya. We mean no trespassing. Can you identify yourself?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Frowns not sure if he had heard that right.::  Solda:  Wise one?
Dorn says:
COMM:  Who we are does not matter.  You say you are from the Federation.  The Federation has a strict code on worlds that have not reached space flight.  Why do you break this rule?   You and the ship before you?
Solda says:
#::Very nervous:: CTO:  We have waited a long time for you.  ::Frowns::  well... at least that is what my teacher told me.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Makes what he hopes is taken as a calming motion.::  Solda:  No reason to be nervous.  I think there is a misunderstanding.  Why do you think I'm this wise one?
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO: The planets residual radiation seems to be affecting sensors.  It is probably what caused us to be separated.

CO Capt Gomes says:
COMM: Dorn. If you do not identify yourselves, I cannot possibly accept any moral authority you have to call us trespassers. The vessel before us was assigned to watch this planet. To make sure neither we nor anyone else interfered with its development. That ship was destroyed. We are here to rescue our people and find out what happened.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@SO: Will going closer help? We can begin running search patterns.
Solda says:
#::Motions nervously toward his skin.::  CTO:  You are smooth... you can change colors.  You can change... features?
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  Most likely.  As close to the surface as you can. A flight pattern to cover the most area.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@OPS: You heard the Lieutenant. Search pattern Alpha. Let's cover as much ground as we can.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Shakes his head.::  Solda:  No just colors,  I'm just here trying to find some friends of mine that got lost, and managed to get a bit lost myself.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods, getting the shuttle in a bit closer again to optimize their detection distance::
Dorn says:
::Silence ensues for a few minutes:: Comm: We are the protectors of this world.  We brought these people here long ago from worlds that were dying.  We have left them to evolve on their own... as much as we could.  When war broke out, we nominalized it, keeping interference to a minimal.  You alter the path of their history.
Solda says:
#::Frowning, she considers him more carefully.  Suspicion crosses her face.  After a moment she points to the warriors who had just passed them.::  CTO:  Those?
CO Capt Gomes says:
COMM: Dorn: I am honored to make first contact with you. Had the Federation known your connection to this world, we would have contacted you instead of sending exploratory vessels as is our rule. Do you know what happened to the previous Federation ship that came here? Did you destroy it?
SO Lt Rose says:
@OPS:  About how far were you beamed away from me?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@SO: Quite some distance, I think about 100 km...
Dorn says:
COMM:  We keep to ourselves  We have been guardians for eons untold and desire to remain anonymous.  But I admit, this world we hold more dear to our hearts.  As for the ships before, no.  We chased one away and have returned to clean up the mess left behind.  And here we find you.
SO Lt Rose says:
@OPS:  It could have been worse.  Do you remember where you picked up his signal last?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Wonders briefly if he should have played along with this wise one angle, but dismisses the thought, too late now at any rate.::  Solda:  Yes, they came here by accident I'm just trying to take them home.  We don't mean any harm.

@ACTION:  The rescued crew of the Nevsky make themselves comfortable as they relax a bit... rescued.  They look toward the commander.

CO Capt Gomes says:
COMM: Dorn: I understand the need to keep to yorselves but given recent events, perhaps you will reconsider. The ship you chased away was Vroan, we found their weapons marks on the destroied hull of our ship. Do you know who the Vroa are?
Solda says:
#::Looks disappointed::  CTO:  Then you are not one of the wise one.  ::Sighs::  I shall take you to the elders.  :: turns to head back down the tunnel which was also the way the others went.::

Dorn says:
COMM: CO:  Yes, captain.  We are aware of them and many others.  It is not ours to interfere.  What has occurred here needs to be rectified and you need to leave... with the promise never to return.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Stands up to follow.::  Solda:  Sorry, but didn't want to lie to you, not the way to start a possible friendship.  ::Smiles down at her.::  Can you tell me about these wise ones?
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Looks over toward Pandora::
Solda says:
#CTO:  It is said they brought us here many years ago.  That our world was dying.  But for some reason, they also brought others.  ::Looks sad::  They did not like us and made us live below.  ::Walks as she talks.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
COMM: Dorn: Then you must know the Vroans were intent on taking over this Galaxy, and would have done so had they not been stopped. We fully intend on taking our people from the planet's surface and clean up all the debris from this planet. We do not wish to interfere until these people have achieved warp capabilities themselves. But we would very much like to talk with your people and understand your connection to this pre-warp civilization. Once we understand it, we will respect it.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
#::Considers what she said, sounded like someone had already interfered with this civilization’s development.::  Solda: You didn't choose to live down here?  Someone forced you to live underground?
SO Lt Rose says:
@::Something catches her attention.::  OPS:  turn back around and head about 100 meters north.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Does as asked, turning the shuttle::
Dorn says:
COMM: Our privacy is our right.  We protect only those that need our protection... not unlike your Prime directive.  Take your people and go.  We will do damage control.
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  We are picking up a federation signal.
CO Capt Gomes says:
COMM: Dorn: Very well. The planet's radiation is interfering with our sensors and transporters. Can you help us locate all Federation citizens on the planet?
Dorn says:
::Another long pause::  COMM: CO:  Yes...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@SO: Can you pinpoint the location?
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  At the moment, only the general direction.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ OPS: Take us there.
Solda says:
#CTO:  Yes... those above.  ::Heading for the central room.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  But it gets stronger as we approach.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
@::Nods, turning the shuttle towards the direction the SO indicated::
