Last time on the Seleya:

The Seleya floats in a geostationary orbit around the devastated base of the archaeologists.

System facts:  Very similar to Sol.  The location of  where Mars would be is a gas planet.  There is no asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.  The location between where earth might have been is an asteroid belt.  The asteroid belts mass equates to about the size of Earth, slightly larger.  Among the debris the archaeologists have been found are many remnant artifacts of refined material.  Some recognizable, much not.

Base Station:  Located on the second largest asteroid which is closest to the star for warmth and solar energy.  The base is a set up of standard science modules modified for open space. There were heavy shield generators to assist with solar radiation.  The main power generator has been destroyed. The station itself had been compromised in a couple of sections.

The original team had been assigned one scout ship, which originally transported the team to their location, and two shuttles.  In orbit around the asteroid is the scout ship, open to the universe.  One of the shuttles lays scattered across the surface not far from the base.  There is no sign of the other shuttle.  Evidence suggests the damage occurred three days ago.

An away team has been beamed into the equivalent of the headquarters of the base.  Emergency power lights the room, with the occasional snap of energy from consoles that have been torn open by phaser fire. There are two bodies blackened by phaser fire.  From their uniforms they were most likely security.  In a corner of the room are group of bodies.  Their position is of those trying to instinctually defend themselves by a weapon.  And in a chair sits the body of a woman, her face locked in rictus of the torture she had tried to endure.

Captain's Log 11311.24: We found the station pretty much destroyed and one of the shuttles missing. I've sent Commander Maor, Commander Heller, Ensign Ix and the rest of the away team to find out what happened. Two of the station's personnel is still missing, we hope with the shuttle. Finding them might give more information.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11311.24. We've arrived at the starbase. There are clear indications that a fight was waged here, only question is how long ago and who actually won. With the amount of damage around us, we'll be lucky if we'll find any useful clues.

<<<<<<<<< Revenge II >>>>>>>>>>

MO Lt Storm says:
:: In medical, beginning the CEO's annual physical... or as annual as one can get with the command staff.  Something she was very familiar with.  She looked curiously at the engineer.::
SO Lt. Rose says:
 :: on the bridge, looking over sensory data.::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: This not what he had in mind when being sent on his first away mission... ok, it was his second after the first disastrous one.  But that had been a year ago.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Looks around the room they had beamed into taking in the damage.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Let's split, Commander. Take the CSO and go find the computer core. I'll take the MO and see if we can find anyone still need saving.
TO Taliesin says:
::At the main tactical station on the bridge.::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: Looks a bit nervous at the XO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  Yes sir.  ::Brings up his tricorder locating the computer core. And motions Lt James to take one of the security team with her and join the XO.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: See if you can find any clues as that energy weapons were used on your way there, maybe we'll get lucky and be able to figure out what happened here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  Understood.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: Let's go, Ensign. ::Gestures toward a random direction::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: nods and steps around some debris, just avoiding a zap from an open console.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
::remains silent for a few moments:: MO: Well, I found out that being a counsellor on a ship is rather different than I was used to on Earth. Very different actually.
TO James says:
@::Follows Maor and Rodier her phaser rifle up and ready as she sweeps the areas as they move.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::gets up from his seat and joins Brianna at Science.:: SO: Short of trawling these asteroids, I guess trying to follow the shuttle's ion trail will be useless?
MO Lt Storm says:
CEO:  In what way?  People are people.  :: Begins her scans.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Finds the location of the computer core he gestures for the CSO to stay between him and TO McGregor as the move down the corridor.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
MO: True, but on Earth I could work with other counselors as well. And there's a lack of them on a ship. To others it may seem a small thing, to me it's a rather big thing.
TO Taliesin says:
::Keeps a watch on the sensors looking for whoever might have attacked the station.::
SO Lt  Rose says:
CO: There are just too many trails.  I would not know which one to follow.  Though most of them have pretty much dissipated, even the most recent are quite a few.  And, you can tell, over the past few weeks, they seem to have increased.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Pauses near one of the bodies:: MO: Scan this one. See what you can tell me, beside the fact that most of them seem like they've been tortured.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Moves slowly down the corridor checking bodies as they go looking for any survivors::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: frowns::  CEO:  The Seleya, as large as it is, had only one counselor?  ::shakes her head::  We had two or three at any one time, on the Andromeda.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Increased? To any particular area of the field? Can you extrapolate a location?
CEO Ens Baro says:
MO: There were more, but still, it's different. ::returns to silence::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: Kneeling down, for a moment unable to not stare, he then looks over his readings before looking up.::  XO: These in this group died hours later after the two over there.  :: motions to the security officers.  And they died together... execution style.  :: looks over at the woman in the chair.::  She died shortly before this group.
SO Lt Rose says:
 :: considers::  CO:  I can begin mapping the various trails and see if there are any areas more heavily traveled then others.  But it will take some time.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: Any indications that can tell us what type of weapons were used?
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Taking some samples, her touch light enough one could barely feel::  CEO:  Why engineering though?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Enters the computer core, motioning to the CSO to wait until he cleared the room, he steps in and with his rifle raised checking the corners.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Please do so, maybe we can find the place we're looking for.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::leans against the railing:: SO: Did Commander Maor get a moment to talk to you before he left? About the mission?
MO Ens Rodier says:
:: stands:: @ XO: At least one Klingon disruptor.  The others most likely standard weapons.  You will need a science officers scans for specifics.
SO Lt. Rose says:
CO:  No.  He had just contacted me and then the new CSO asked me to come to the bridge.  He and the rest of the away team were heading out.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: I have faith in your abilities. Let's move on. ::Continues scanning for lifeforms as he moves toward the general direction of the station's "bridge"::
SO Lt. Rose says:
 :: Turning to work, she begins the mapping of the shuttles ion trails.  The newest ones she could discern a difference between the two, but the older signatures, it was not possible.::
CEO Ens Baro says:
MO: It's different, more dynamic.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: I'm going to give you some information regarding the mission that is need to know only. He recommended I include you in the pool of people aware of the facts.

@Scenery: The room holding the systems mainframe has been torn apart, in anger.

SO Lt. Rose says:
:: quietly she listens.::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: smiles::  CEO:  I would agree on that point.  Not sure about the dynamic part.  I would think it would be more... soothing, working with machines then people.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Lets out slight whistle at the destruction in the core, wondering if there would be anyway to salvage anything from it, but that wasn't his area of expertise.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::proceeds to tell Lt Rose what he knows about their mission and giving her access to the files from Admiral Harlan:: SO: It's you, me, the XO and CTO that knows this at the moment. Admiral Harlan warned me to be careful who this is shared with and I'm following Cmdr. Maor's recommendations.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: nervously he moves on, reminding himself he has the fleet ship hovering just above them.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Pauses, he motions the MO and the TO to stop for a few moments while he figures something out:: *CTO*: Maor to Heller.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Motions for the CSO to enter and get to work on the core then taps his commbadge.::  *XO*:  Heller here.
SO Lt. Rose says:
 :: shakes her head::  CO: Did you annoy the Admiral or something?
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: Unembarrassed, moves slightly closer to the tactical officer.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::laughs:: SO: I don't think so. At least I don't think so. Maybe she's giving us the tough ones because she knows the Seleya can do it.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ ::looking down at his tricorder, he can read a few more bodies, but still, no one alive.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CTO*: I'm taking a small detour, Commander. I found a weak signal from one of the quarters near my location. Seem to be some sort of a mayday signal, only one that I haven't seen being used in ages. I'm transmitting the coordinates to you now. See if you can find who lived there from the computer data bank.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: Let's go. ::Glances around for a second before making his way toward the direction of the signal:: All: Phasers on ready.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Looks over the computer core.:: *XO*:  I will see what I can get but the computer core has been pretty well trashed.
SO Lt. Rose says:
CO: Whatever made you want to take on a flagship?
TO James says:
@::Raises her rifle and follows after the XO.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Moves to the computer core signally McGregor to watch the entrances, as he begins to look over the damage.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Transmits the signal coordinates to the CTO's PADD and back to the Seleya's  bridge::
 
@Scenery: Maor's team enters the area used as quarters.  There are various doors surrounding what was obviously both the rec room as well as dining room.

SO Lt. Rose says:
CO:  I am picking up coordinates from Commander Maor.  :: puts them on an overlay of the station.::  Looks like he is heading for the crews quarters.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::turns thoughtful:: SO: Pride. No, that's not it. Flattery. No, that's not it either. Belief. In myself, in the fact that Starfleet Command thought me able to do it. I've been a bridge officer for a long time, I've held command on occasion, I was second officer for most of my time on the Andromeda.  It's not common for someone to jump Executive officer straight to CO, but very rare.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Gets the info from Maor as he pulls a few panel out of the way finding a number of computer chips missing, spotting quite a few scattered across the floor.::
SO Lt. Rose says:
CO:  True.  But still, a big change.  And you were enamored with the Knight family, it was your family too.  Must have been hard to leave them.  I remember Aaron.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Baro often finds physicals rather unnerving. Having been a counsellor he was used to not to be the subject. Now he was. It felt uncomfortable::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::turns his attention to the screen:: SO: Can you scan that area more closely? See if we can get them some information from up here?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::shakes his head:: SO: Perhaps it was because I had becomes so close to them that I had to leave. Aaron would never give me what I wanted and it was time to grow up.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Her empathic abilities were always turned on, unlike her telepathy.  She had to concentrate to turn it "off", so she had just learned to treat it as background noise.  But the engineers discomfort was starting to read loud and clear.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Continues scanning the area around them, attempting to find the origin of the distress signal::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Picking up all the chips he could find on the floor he began seeing what he could do with the CSOs help trying to reroute some of the computer pathways to get access to the information in the core.::
SO Lt. Rose says:
 CO:  I am sorry about Aaron.  :: quiets for a moment::  As for the energy signature, it is some kind of SOS signal.  It is very week... not one I would have picked up without focusing sensors.
 
@ ACTION: A door stands wide open due to a chair blocking it.  Inside it is dark.  Only the signal showing any life.

 CO Capt Varesh says:
::lightly touches her arm:: SO: Its my fault too, but a conversation for another time. ::looks closer at the signal:: I don't remember this kind of SOS. Do we have more information on it?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Pauses, he begins scanning for any signs that might indicate that anyone rigged the area with any traps::
SO Lt. Rose says:
:: reaches over to pull up the data bank to run it through.  After a moment, she gets results.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Finding none, he continues inside the room:: MO: At least someone put some sort of a fight in here. ::Glances around:: Damn shame.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: smiling::  CEO:  Done.  At least with the physical.  I hope to get a chance to know you better in a more... relaxing environment.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Gets a few of the pathways redirected using the chips and begins trying to force the computer to work around the missing pathways.::
SO Lt. Rose says:
CO:  It is rather old.  It has not been around for awhile.  But it is specifically set for Federation equipment only.  They stopped using it when the Klingons discovered a way to locate it.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::frowns:: SO: But why use it now? A beacon by a traitor?
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: seeing blood splatter, he takes a scan for identification.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Deactivating the signal, he continues looking for any other clues in the room::
SO Lt. Rose says:
:: smiles::  CO:  An old crudgen? More like they were trying to hide something, but wanted someone to find it?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Is able to access some of the data stored on the computer core, and begins working past the encryption.::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Hands off the items to one of the nurses to label and begin processing.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ All: Found something. ::Leans down and grabs what appears to be a PADD:: Finally a clue. ::Attempts to activate the PADD and determine what's on it::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::thinks a moment:: SO: Valid point.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::smiles as well:: MO: I, erm, I hope so as well.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Is able to access the personnel logs of the crew and starts looking through them.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::waits to hear from the away team, not wanting to crowd them since he hated that when he was leading an AT and Ethan or Conor kept bugging him for information::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: trying to make him more comfortable, she projects a sense of peace:: CEO:  Perhaps you can show me around the engine room.  Not one of my areas, but it never hurts to know ones ship.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: Maor to Varesh.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::smiles to himself, thinking he should do that more often:: *CO*: Varesh here, go ahead.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ XO:  I have two different DNA signatures.  One is a scientist by the name of Hemington.  The other is not in the data base.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::As the subject of conversation moves away from him he relaxes a little: MO: You're always welcome for a visit.
MO Lt Storm says:
CEO:  Thank you.  Let me know when you are available.  I do not want to interrupt.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Nods at the direction of the MO:: *CO*: It's pretty bad here, Captain. Obvious signs of torture and mass executions. We were able to detect signatures from at least one Klingon disruptor and a few other assorted energy weapons. The CTO is attempting to access the station's computer, though he did report that it was in a bad shape. We did manage to recover a working PADD but but it seems to be heavily encrypted, it mi
XO Cmdr Maor says:
ght take me some time to decrypt it as the data encryption that was on used on it is pretty old.
CO Capt Varesh says:
*XO*: Funny you should mention Klingons, since that SOS was discontinued because they could track it. Transmit the PADD's information to the ship so we can get the computers working on it.
SO Lt. Rose says:
:: entering some new parameters, the map has started begins to fill up with tracking lines.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CO*: Already in the process of. Maor out. ::Closes the channel and begins making his way back toward the station's command center::
MO Ens Rodier says:
@ :: quickly follows after::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@::Finds a group of logs that appeared to have originated from the quarters that the XO was investigating he pulls them up and begins reading through them.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ ::Transmits the PADD contents to the SO's console:: MO: Are you okay, Ensign? You seem nauseous.
MO Ens Rodier says:
@:: Shakes his head in denial and then realizing the interpretation, he responds.::  XO: Yes, I am ready to go.  Shall I have medical prepare to take the bodies?
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: What progress on tracking the shuttles through the belt?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  Most of the scientific data on the computer core has been removed or destroyed i was only able to find some of the crew logs.  I tracked the computer usage on the logs from the quarters you are looking into.  Looks to have belonged to a Tyson Hemington, a scientist who seemed very passionate about his work but the past two weeks his logs changed, he seems to be getting worried, less info in is logs and less excitement about what they were finding.
SO Lt. Rose says:
 :: getting the signal, she pulls up the old encryption codes and begins to run it through.::  CO:  Working on it.  I can tell you, they started to increase their search.  And it seems to be shifting away from the sun.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ MO: Once we reach the bridge, we'll have to tag these bodies with badges to beam them over. ::Hits his badge:: *CTO*: We figured who he was as well. Found an encrypted PADD as well, might clue us in on what he caused this. Focus on attempting to find out what happened to the artifact.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::nods:: SO: Thanks. I'll try my hand at cracking the PADD's encryption as well. Send a copy to my chair, please.
CEO Ens Baro says:
::Snaps back to reality:: MO: Erm, right, erm, I'll let you know. ::smiles::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
@*XO*:  I will see what I can find here but most of that data is missing not damaged.  I will send McGregor out to see if he can find any other padds nearby that might contain additinal data.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: lightly chuckles as she stands, uncertain what had him distracted.::  CEO:  I look forward to it.
SO Lt. Rose says:
 :: nods and sends the message over.::
 CO Capt Varesh says:
::walks over to his chair and pulls up the PADD's data, starting his own attempt at decrypting it.::
 
ACTION:  The computer beeps it has finished decoding.

CEO Ens Baro says:
::Stands up and walks towards the door. Stops, and then turns around, just for one more glance. He ponders if he should ask it.:: MO: Do you have plans for tonight?
CPO McGregor says:
@::Hears the CTO and nods his understanding moving out of the room to begin a room by room search near the computer core.::
CO:  Shall I put it on the main screen?
MO Lt Storm says:
:: smiles::  CEO:  No, I do not.
 CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Yes please.
SO Lt. Rose says:
:: reaches over to tap a button.::
 
ACTION: On the view scree, the terrifed face of the elderly Hemington appears.  He keeps looking over his shoulder.  "We do not know who they are, but they are demanding the location of Bellerophon.  Upon our honor, we will tell them nothing.  Search for Ares."  The sound of angry voices can be heard in the background.  Then the screen goes blank.
