Last time on Seleya:

The representatives from the settlement found on the other side of the rift were transferred aboard the USS Noven where they would be taken before Starfleet console to plead their case to be returned to their own universe.

The Seleya was given orders to hunt down Tankard and his crew but also ensure the security of the weapon.  To aid them in this the USS Kratos was dispatched as backup to aide in the search and take down of Tankard as well as help defend the weapon if needed.

The Kratos is currently guarding the rift while the Seleya moves off to make contact and search for information on Tankard's whereabouts and activities at a nearby Orion syndicate outpost.   The Seleya is nearing it stopping point and from there will launch the captured pirate vessel to continue on to the outpost.

Captain's Log: 11405.25: The Kratos will guard the system with the rift while we take care of the pirates. We're heading to meet with one of Cmdr Heller's contacts, on a less than reputable outpost. This could only be interesting.

SO Lt Rose says:
::At science on the bridge, talking to Sean and filling him in.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Making her way from medical to the conference room.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::In the conference room, going over the mission briefing::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In the turbolift on the way to the conference room.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::As the lift stops, she steps off and makes her way down the hall.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets up from his chair:: SO: Lt, join us if you please? ::Heads for the conference room::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Exits the lift and makes his way down to the conference room.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::With a nod, she quickly stands, turning science over and moves to join Varesh::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods to the duty officer to take the conn and heads down the short hallway at the back of the bridge to the conference room::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Enters the conference room and takes a seat.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Entering, she nods a greeting to those there and takes a seat.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up from his PADD:: All: What took you all so much time?
SO Lt Rose says:
::She had worked many years with Varesh.  Though many more years had passed, she could still read him.  He was tense.  She also noted he did not fade in and out.::
MO Lt Storm says:
XO: A last minute crisis.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Walks up to his seat and sits down:: XO: I was getting a manicure. ::Deadpans:: All: This will be brief. You know we have the pirate ship in the hangar. We'll be taking this to the outpost. Also, uniforms are not required.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Smiling she takes a seat next to Max::
SO Lt Rose says:
SO:  Not required or best left behind?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles:: All: Appropriate outfits for contact with the Orion syndicate will be a much better option. Lots of leather is a good choice.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Tugs at the unfamiliar garments he was wearing having already changed into one of the outfits he used while searching for his brother, surprising himself by realizing that once again he be using it and his contacts now to find his half brother.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns to look at Max, now understanding his attire. Quietly::  CTO:  Interesting.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Commander, any idea of what we can expect?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shrugs as he answers.:: CO:  It’s been a number of years since I was last there but I doubt it has changed much.  It a small outpost used for transferring good, mostly illegal or stolen.  Most business is conducted at one of the 3 or 4 bars on the outpost, most of the rest is cargo bays.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: CTO: So bar-hopping it is. ::Looks around the table, ending with Maor:: XO: Objections on me going?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Looks curiously at the XO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Also my contact may not give up the information right away or for free, we may need to be ready to give him something in exchange for the information.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  Such as?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: Not unless I can finally talk you out of coming along.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Lifts a brow as she looks at her brother::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smirks:: XO: Not this time. ::Turns to Heller:: CTO: Take some goods you think will make appropriate trade goods, I'll have to break out the discretionary gold-pressed latinum.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  No way to know for sure until we see him, I've ended up giving him anything from medkits, to dilithium crystals, to booze, all depends on what’s in demand at the time and how much of a risk to himself giving us the information is.  ::Nods to the captain, taking out his padd and making a quick list of items that might prove useful.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Turns to Pandora::  OPS:  You have anything interesting that might work?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Shakes his head at Rose's suggestions:: SO: I think we've got a solid plan already. Trade is something the syndicate is big in, so we should try to use that to our advantage.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks around the table:: All: We're leaving the moment we reach the point where we leave the Seleya. Prepare yourselves. Lt Rose, you will be joining us on this trip.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Simply nods::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks to Varesh a bit surprised if once again he is taking everyone::  CO: Alright.  ::But her eyes silently ask if he is sure::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Motions to the outfit::  CTO:  Replicator?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks around the table:: All: Dismissed. ::Gets up::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles.::  MO:  No all authentic has been in the back of my closet for years.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: I had to dig through one of my trunks to find some of my undercover stuff.
MO Lt Storm says:
CTO:  I do not suppose you have a catalog of outfits on hand.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Standing up, she heads out the door trying to remember if she had anything that would work hiding in the back of her closet somewhere.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
MO:  I'm sure I can come up with something that should work if you need it.

<<<<<<<<<<  Time Jump - 45 minutes  >>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  The Seleya comes to a stop just outside the system finding a cluster of asteroids to hide in while the away team moves on to the outpost.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In the shuttlebay overseeing the last of the cargo being loaded onto the ship.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Settles at the ship's controls, flexing his fingers, it's been a while since he's piloted anything other than a shuttle::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Double checking her equipment.  All of it looked well used and hand me down, nothing to attract anyone ones unwanted attention.  Though given the outfit she was wearing, she doubted they would be looking at the technology.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to a group of his officers, dresses similar to himself and they enter the ship as the last of the cargo is secured.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Finishes running through the last of the flight checks::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Steps on board the ship, not yet completely comfortable with his new attire::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: With a sigh she takes a seat at sensors.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Mans the station next to the captain, going over the intel package they received::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves over the tactical station bringing up the sensor data and looking over the specs already fairly familiar with the systems.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Her face stoic, she makes her way onto the pirate ship, her medical bag hanging from her shoulder.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Cargo is secure and we have clearance to depart as soon as we are ready.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over at the doctor and suddenly does not feel quite so embarrassed.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks over at Bri:: SO: Everything alright? ::Glances at Suzi:: Oh.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Catching Rose's eyes, she nods and finds a spot to settle in.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Varesh and shakes her head::  CO:  We will see when we meet up with people.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: I'm starting to get claustrophobic with so many peopled crammed up in here.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: XO: Yeah... I'll take our own bridge any day...
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Fires up the engines:: All: And we're off. ::gets clearance from OPS and pilots the ship out into the open and sets course for the outpost::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Hope everyone remembered to bring a towel, for some reason intel strongly recommended it.
SO Lt Rose says:
All:  Within our vicinity, we are clear.  Near the outpost, there are a dozen vessels of various types.  Two are highly armored, possibly the stations defense.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Shifting slightly in her seat, she looks out the window of the small dining area.::
SO Lt Rose says:
XO:  And what are we supposed to do with a towel?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Keeps a close watch on the sensors as the make their way toward the outpost.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::does a minor course correction before opening a communications channel:: COM: Outpost: This is the Marlin, requesting permission to dock.

ACTION:  One of the heavily armed vessels begins to move away from the station on an intercept course with the Marlin.

CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: I think you should take the lead on this, you've been here before.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Someone is coming to visit.
Kempel says:
COMM: Marlin: CO:  This is Kempel of the Orion syndicate state your business.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
SO/CO:  This is normal for the outpost, one of the defensive ships will come out either escort us in if they like our answers or chase us off.  ::Nods to the captain.:: CO:  Yes captain.  OPS:  Patch them through to my station.
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO: As long as they do not blow us up.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods, tapping a few controls to do as Heller requested::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
COMM:  Kempel: We are here to do some trading, make some money just like everyone else, we have goods to trade and this is the best place in the sector to do so.
Kempel says:
COMM: Marlin: CTO:  And how exactly did you hear about us?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
COMM: Kempel:  My old friend Markan showed me the location.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Curious to what goods he had put aboard.::
Kempel says:
::There is a short pause on the line.::  COMM: Marlin: CTO:  Proceed to docking port three, you will be escorted in and your cargo searched upon your arrival, a docking fee of 6 strip of latinum is also required.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Raises his eyebrow at the docking fee, but says nothing::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
COMM: Kempel:  Understood.  ::Cuts the comm, looking over at the captain.::  CO:  We can usually get that cost down easily enough, usually doesn't cost more than 1 or 2 strips in the end.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Varesh::  CO:  What is my allowance on this trip?
