Last time on Seleya:

The Seleya went after the Caravel after it attacked the merchant ship Helios, following their trail to a nearby group of asteroids.  Upon arrival they were warned away by an automated message and as they drew nearer detected a series of weapons platforms in the area.  Shortly thereafter the weapons platforms fired, destroying many of the asteroids but luckily missing the Seleya.

After the platforms fired the Seleya was able to slip past and approach the base.  Shortly after they were contacted by Tankard, who after taunting them for a bit revealed the presence of 3 captives, 2 Starfleet officers and one child.  The officers were identified as the Seleya's new CSO and a captain Varesh.  The identity of the child is still unclear.  Tankard then offered to trade the lives of these three for Captain Gomes.  Meanwhile it was discovered that Tankard and his wife were not actually aboard the station but were relaying a message from somewhere else to make it appear so.  OPS has begun work on trying to cut the transmission while the XO works on a plan to infiltrate the base and rescue the prisoners.

Captain's log, Stardate 11311.03. We are playing a dangerous game with these pirates, and we don't have a very good hand. I can only hope they call my bluff.

<<<<<<<<<< Sins of the Father V >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
::At sensors, working on locating the pirate’s original location.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Glances at OPS, hoping for some good news::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In transporter room one with his security team going over the plans of the station looking for the quickest route to where the prisoners are being held.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::At the operations console, still working on isolating Tankard's broadcast frequency::
TO Ens Hardwick says:
::Checks his phaser rifle and back-up weapon, ready to step onto the transporter pad::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*CO*:  Captain this is Heller we are ready to beam over to the base.
CO Capt Gomes says:
*CTO*: Energize when ready. Godspeed.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: What is your status?
TO Ens Hardwick says:
::Moves onto the pad, facing outward in standard tactical position:: CTO: Ready, sir.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: Still working, I think I nearly have it... ::Taps some more buttons, ruling out several other background transmissions::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Checks his phaser rifle then moves up onto the platform::  TC:  Energize.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods::
Melena says:
#COMM: Seleya: CO:  We are growing impatient captain, perhaps you need more encouragement.  ::Taps a few buttons on her console.::

@ACTION:  The away team is transported into a storage room on the outskirts of the station.

TO Ens Hardwick says:
@::Appears on the base with the others, pulling out a tricorder to scan the immediate area::
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Melena: Patience is a virtue. My offer is running out and you will have kidnapping and torture of Starfleet offices added to your charges.

ACTION:  Four nearby seemingly asteroid chuck power up and quickly move toward the Seleya.

TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  I'm pickup up incoming energy signatures captain.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Puts the com on hold::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: The minerals within the asteroid are what is messing with sensors... probably one of the reasons the base was so hard to originally find.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Are they weapons or vessels?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Does a sweep with his rifle before switching on his tricorder to get his bearings.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Mines I think.  ::Brings the ships phasers online and attempts to lock onto them.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: At least something make sense. Do we have a way around it?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@TO:  Let’s get moving,  ::Checks the tricorder.::  Quickest way should be through there, ::Indicates the door to his left.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers. TO: Target them.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Keeps isolating frequencies and checking them against the signal, ruling out yet another couple::

SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  In a short amount of time?  Doubtful.  However, I would suggest engineering work on boosting the transporter signal for the return.
TO Ens Hardwick says:
@CTO: Aye, sir. I'll watch our six.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods as he takes the lead down the corridor.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Agreed. Send the message to engineering
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods and contacts engineering.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Fires at the mines.::

ACTION:  Two of the mines are destroyed by phaser fire but the remaining are able to slip past and impact against the Seleya's shields rocking the ship violently.

TO Ens Hardwick says:
@::Follows behind the CTO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Keeps a close watch down side corridors as they make their way through the maze of corridors.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Grabs the arms of her chair:: SO/TO: Damage report
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Grabs hold of the console as the ship moves from the impact::
Melena says:
#COMM: Seleya: CO: Patience was never my strong suit captain do you need more convincing?  ::Grins wickedly.::
TO Ens Hardwick says:
@::Follows the CTO, trusting him to get the right route while covering their back::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Appears next to the CTO:: CTO: Report.
Draven says:
@::Watching the monitor, he pulls out a small grenade and activates it.  Counting down, he tosses it down the hall towards the Federation team and runs into a run, locking the door.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Spots something tumbling down the corridor he grabs the XO and pulls him back against the wall;::  All: Get down!
TO Ens Hardwick says:
@::Takes cover::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Sighs as he is still unable to isolate the frequency Tankard is transmitting on, but keeps working nonetheless::

ACTION:  More mines begin to power up around the Seleya.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CTO: What the hell is going down? ::Whispers:: Have we been discovered?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Shields down to 70%
Melena says:
#COMM: CO:  I see yo....  ::Comm cuts off mid word.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the screen smiling:: COM: Melena: You will have plenty of time to learn patience from a Federation prison. It is time to release those prisoners if you ever want to see starlight again.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Evasives!
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: What happened to the comm
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  So it would seem, which mean we need to pick up the pace.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CTO: Do we have a general direction? ::Arms his rifle::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods, double checking his tricorder.::  XO:  The cells should be in that direction.  ::Points down the corridor where from where the grenade was tossed.::
FCO Grodan says:
CO: Evasives, aye. ::Engages the ship's engines and executes the evasive maneuvers::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Engineering says they are ready, but will hold off until needed as they are busy rerouting power were needed.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  The mines are still powered up but not moving.

@Scenery:  The crying of a child can be heard of the bases intercom.

Ens Arya Ix says:
@::Blinks, slowly returning to a wake state. Her body hurts everywhere::
Varesh says:
@::Wakes up, hearing Sannia over the intercom. It takes a moment but he lurches to his feet, calling out a name but nothing more than a croak comes out::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Hears crying coming in over the speakers.  And stands glancing down the corridor.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Nods slowly:: CTO: Let's go then. ::Starts making his way toward the direction of the cells::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CTO: Is that coming from the speakers? ::Glances around, trying to pinpoint the source of the crying::

ACTION:  As the XO steps forward, he hears a slight click and feels something light against his ankle.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Follows after the XO, knowing they were lucking to survive that grenade unharmed, hoping their luck stayed with them.:: XO:  I think so sir.
TO Ens Hardwick says:
@CTO: Sir, they need to be dealt with. Using a child... ::Disapproval loud in his tone as he heads out with the team, covering their backtrail::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods grimly to Hardwik::  TO:  They will be
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Holds his hand up:: CTO: Hold on. Grab a flashlight, try flashing against my leg.
Ix says:
@::Listens to the child and everything comes back of where she is. She just wished she knew why. She sits up slowly and looks at her cell::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Stops abruptly as he hears the click next to him and hears the XO, quickly switching on his flashlight panning it down toward the XOs feet.::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  It appears that the mines were all controlled directly via the comm and with it shut down they are dormant.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
OPS: Sorry captain, I wanted to make sure before getting back to you.. We have successfully jammed the transmission.. For now...

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@CTO: Is it what I think it is?
Varesh says:
::Bangs against the door of the cell as hard as he can, which isn't very hard, croaking around the fierce thirst of several days without water::
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Any idea for how long?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods as he sees the device under the commanders foot.::  XO:  A mine sir.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps her badge:: *XO*: Maor, we temporarily cut the comm to Tankard. I don't know yet for how long but this is our chance. When they reconnect they are bound to give the kill order.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Nods:: CTO: Continue on, find the prisoners and return to the ship. I'll handle it here.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: we should have a window to attack the base now. Can we shut down their comm system permanently?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Captain, I am picking up two power sources.  One is a ship and the other is on the station.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: Understood, the team is pressing on. ::Opens another channel:: *OPS*: Maor to Pandora.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  It is not the pirate leader ship.  This one is in the vicinity of the base.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks up at the contact from Maor:: *XO*: Pandora here, go ahead commander.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Nods, glancing at his security team.::  TO:  Hardwick stay and help the commander, the rest with me.  ::Moves down the corridor, hearing a faint thumping sound ahead.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: A self-destruct?
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I am picking up 7... 8... 9 life signs aboard the vessel.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Most likely... tied to the comm shut down.
TO Ens Hardwick says:
@CTO: Aye, sir. ::kneels down next to the XO, examining the mine::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*OPS*: I have a situation here, Commander. See if you can scan around see, see what you can detect. Specially around me, what I just got myself into.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Can we get a lock?
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Looks over his scans.::  CO:  Yes captain, I think I've found their main communications array.  I'll also target their shield generators, see if we can get those down to get everyone beamed out.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Fire at will.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Ship heading out...
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Frowns but does as requested, trying to scan the XO's location and surrounding area::

@ACTION: A small sleek ship almost explodes from the base, heading away and deeper into the asteroid belt.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Reaches a door around the next corner and opening the panel next to the door, finds the manual override and forces the door open.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Do we have any clue who is on that ship??
Varesh says:
@::Slumps to the floor, his back against the door, unable to remain standing, groaning as he slides down::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
::Locks onto the communications array and begins firing phasers, while he begins locking on to the shield generators.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO: No, ma'am.  Should I have engineering shift power?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*OPS*: Did you find the, uh, ::Pauses for a few seconds:: Mine. Sorry.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Do what you can but we will have to chase after that ship. Our people might be there.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Engage a pursue course.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Stops himself before pushing the door too far he grabs his tricorder and does a quick scan cursing as he detects an explosive attached to the door.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Captain... wait...
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: What is it Lt? There is no time for second thoughts
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I still have the life signs in the brig we had before... it looks they have woken up.  I am unable to get a transporter lock.  ::Turns to see what she wants to do.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Glances carefully around the edge of the door trying to find the trip device.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Can we tractor that ship?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*XO*: I do have something that appears to be a mine at your location... Pretty crude mechanism, seems to be pressure activated. I'm going to see if we can isolate the trigger mechanism and remove it without detonating the explosive charge.

ACTION:  Sustained weapons fire from the Seleya is able to destroy the communications array and weaken the shields.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *OPS*: If you get it wrong I'm coming back to haunt you for the rest of your life.
TO Taliesin says:
CO:  Communications array is offline.  ::Checks his sensors and activates the tractor beam snagging the ship at the outer range of the tractors range.::  I’ve got them captain, but they are at the edge of effective range so not sure how long I'll be able to keep them.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Doesn't react to the comment, instead focusses on attempting to lock on to the mine::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Let's meet half way. Activate the tractor beam and move closer to their location.
CO Capt Gomes says:
OPS: Open a comm to the escaping vessel.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Considering possibilities, works on trying to get a lock on the hostages.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::With the transporter lock established, he activates transport and beams the mine into space, so a potential detonation would not do harm::

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Finds a small device attached to the door and carefully removes it with a sigh when it doesn't go off.  Once done he moves back to the door and begins to pull.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@TO: Let's go. ::Makes his way toward the direction of the CTO, making sure not to step on any more mines this time::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::With the transport underway, he turns back to communications, opening a channel as requested:: CO: Channel open, captain.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Captain... it is their cells... some kind of transport inhibitor... ignoring the minerals affecting sensors.  If they can get them out of their cells... we should be able to get a lock.
Varesh says:
@::Feels the door shift against his back and makes a clumsy roll away from it, crouching in a defensive position::
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Holding them for now captain.
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Send that information to the away team.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Slows down as he nears the CTO:: CTO: Found them, Commander?
CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Vessel: This is Captain Gomes of the USS Seleya. We have you restrained. Drop your shields and we will bring you aboard. I promise a fair trial.
SO Lt Rose says:
*XO*:  Commander, if you can get the hostages from their cells, we should be able to get a lock on them and beam them aboard.  Also, there is a power overload on the station.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Prying the door the rest of the way open he sees Varesh roll away and turns as the XO approaches.::  XO:  Yes sir. I believe the other two are in the rooms adjacent.  But check the doors first they are mined but fairly easy to disarm.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Turning back to the room he steps closer to Varesh crouching down.:: Varesh:  Its ok, I'm commander Heller of the Seleya.
Varesh says:
@::About to launch some kind of attack when the voice and words reach his brain and he slumps again:: CTO: Find my daughter.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Continues searching for the other two prisoners in the other cells::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Captain... I hate to rush this, but the base has 3 minutes to overload.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@Varesh:  We will.   ::Looks at one of his team.::  TO: Get him out of the cell so we can transport.  ::Moves back into the corridor checking his tricorder.:: XO:  The child should be through here, and the other Starfleet officer there.  ::Points to the two doors.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Taps her badge:: *XO/CTO*: You have three minutes! Just leave the cell area and we can beam you in.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@::Recovers the other two prisoners and he gently moves them outside their cells:: 
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Helps the XO move the prisoners out of their cells and begins moving down the corridor.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nervously she waits to give the order to the transporter room.::
Ix says:
@::Barely responsive, she goes along with Starfleet officers:

XO Cmdr Maor says:
@*CO*: We have them all, Captain.

@ACTION:  A hum can now be heard building throughout the stations as the generators begins the final stage of overload.

Varesh says:
@::Stumbles out of the cell with the help of a TO, sighing in relief as he sees his daughter. The voice over the comm made him relax.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
@SO: Energize!
SO Lt Rose says:
*TC*: Seven to beam aboard...

@ACTION:  An explosion begins to tear apart the station as the away team and prisoners are beamed aboard the Seleya.

CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Maximum impulse away from the station.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Do we still have them?
FCO Grodan says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::sends the ship racing away from the exploding base::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Sighs in relief as his view goes from a fireball to the inside of the transporter room.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  The away team and hostages are safely aboard.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Sits back with a sigh.::
TO Taliesin says:
CO:: Still hoping them, they have been trying to break free but that ship isn't a match for us.
Varesh says:
::Falls to his knees, hugging Sannia to him, trying to still her trembling while reassuring her that he was still there::
Medical says:
::Waiting in the transporter room, they move forward to assist with the rescuees::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Good work Mr. Taliesin. I give you the task of figuring out how best to bring them aboard and into our brig.
TO Lt Taliesin says:
CO:  Yes captain.
