Last time on Seleya:

The information the crew was looking for has been obtained but things didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped.

Lt. Storm was rescued but doing so set off a pursuit by station security.  The away team was forced to fire on the docking ring to get loose and escape.  Then it was a race to the Seleya.

Two syndicate ships pursued and managed with the help of the Seleya destroy the captured Pirate vessel they were using, but not before the away team was beamed aboard safely plus one captive.

The Seleya departed the system and was quickly able to outpace the pursuing syndicate vessels.  The information provided by Marken, Max's contact has given them information on two possible locations of Tankard and his wife.

The nearest is two days away.  The Seleya is moving that direction now and is hoping to extract some information from their prisoner.

Captain's Log 11408.10: We are en route to Tankard's nearest base. I've put Heller and Maor on the interrogation of our captive, I am too close to it and would be more of a hindrance.

<<<<<<<<< The Hunt >>>>>>>>>>

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::On the bridge, monitoring communications in the area, trying to see if there is any activity at all::
MO Lt Storm says:
:: In medical, her wounds treated as she goes about the quiet room.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Frowns at the main screen from his seat::
SO Lt Rose says:
::At science on the bridge, scanning the area as well as keeping an extra check on what might follow them.::
Gark says:
::Waking up in the brig with a headache and very groggy, not one of his best days so far will created an abnormally foul mood, occasionally swearing up a storm to the brig guards::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets up from his chair:: OPS: You have the bridge, Commander. I'll be in medical. ::Heads for the TL::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Stands up to hand him a report.::  CO:  I see grey lines appearing as we sit here.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Pauses to take the report:: SO: Grey lines?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Shakes her head and motions to his head::  CO:  Grey hairs.  I am going to go to bed and not wake up for a week, I think.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::In the brig checking over the security as he waits for  Maor to arrive.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Everything is quiet.  It is one of those times I cannot tell if that is a good thing or not.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Chuckles:: SO: I would look distinguished with grey sides. We have the next two days to rest up. ::Tucks the PADD under his arm:: I'm just going to order Suzi to get some rest. I'll take the quiet as a good sign for now. Let the other shoe wait.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Arrives at the brig area:: CTO: They released our guest already?
Gark says:
CTO: your security is sub-par, I know some dealers that can get you some great upgrades.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  If it drops, I am throwing it at someone.  :: with a smile she heads back to science.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up as Maor arrives ignoring Gark's outburst for now..::  XO:  Yeah not sure if the captain wanted to keep him in the luxury of sickbay any longer than necessary.  He does seem in a fowl mood though.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods, he makes his way toward one of the security consoles:: CTO: Room two seems to be free. ::Glances at the direction of the room as he opens the doors:: Let's go.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Enters the TL with a smile:: SO: I support that whole-heartedly. ::Orders the TL to deck 7::
Gark says:
CTO: If you choose to ignore me we can agree to mutually ignoring each other, I am reasonable!
MO Lt Storm says:
::Restless, she almost wishes for a patient. As she finds herself walking around the room, unable to sit still.  Reaching up, she unconsciously rubs her itchy arm.  Dermal regenerators were great, but the body still had to do some healing.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to the XO then signals his security team to drop the force filed and steps up near the doorway but staying out of reach.::  Gark:  Lets go.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods at the CO and after making sure he left the bridge, gets up and sits in the captain's chair::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Enters sickbay after a short while, still smiling at Brianna's comment::
Gark says:
::Laughs at the CTO:: CTO: What makes you think I will willingly walk to your interrogation room ::Sits down in his cell::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Turning around at the sound of the doors opening, she turns almost hopefully towards it.  Then sighs as she sees her brother.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::A quick over him shows her he is fine and he is smiling.  That was good.::  CO:  How can I help you, captain?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CTO, waiting for his reaction::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Loses the smile a little:: MO: You seem disappointed that I'm not covered in blood.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Gark:  It wasn't a request.  ::Nods to one of security team and they step into the cell grabbing Gark from either side, ready to drag him into the other room.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::She shook her head::  CO:  Not at all.  I am glad.  I was just... ::Slightly embarrassed but was honest:: that you were not a potential distraction.
Gark says:
::Raises his claws at the security::
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  You feeling better?
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: MO: I think I understand. Do I need to wear my counselor hat?
Gark says:
CTO: Tell your medical officer she will have some more patients real soon!
MO Lt Storm says:
::Starts to say not, but then stops to be honest with herself as well::  CO:  I do not know.  But I would like to know why I was taken in the first place.  I gather selling me ::Spoken grimily::  was a secondary profit idea.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods at Rose's question:: SO: Much, thanks... Helps to have some competent medics on staff... ::Smiles at Rose:: How about you. Happy we're back on the Seleya?
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: I'm not sure why you were taken. Opportunity?
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  There was a reason I had that costume buried away.  I am still tempted to burn it.  But I at least got off easy.  The doc now... ::She shook her head::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Growls, feeling an urge to punch this guy in the face.::  Gark:  Move it.
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  No, I got the impression it was more than that.  For one thing, he is one of Tankard's men.  He mentioned not knowing me.  But that should not be given an excuse of the intel I have been reading is true.  It is hard to keep track of people in a relatively large group.
Gark says:
CTO: You want to stun me again Commander?
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods silent agreement as he turns back to the main viewer, wondering what else this mission would still bring them::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Takes a seat on one of the biobeds:: MO: I will get the commanders to add it to their list of questions. We have two days.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Gark:  Not really then I'd have to wait for you to wake up again before we could begin.  ::Quickly reaches out grabbing Gark by the arm and pulling him up twisting his arm behind him.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: But how are you? Do you need some time off?
MO Lt Storm says:
::Shakes her head::  CO: Actually, that is the last thing I need right now.  I need to be kept busy.
Gark says:
::Kicks backwards at CTO right knee in a quick strike::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up, he disables the weapons alarm for a few seconds in the brig:: All: Move. ::Fires at the direction of Gark, stunning him with his phaser:: I do. ::Turns to the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Let's go. ::Reactivates the alarm, he moves inside the interrogation room::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Cautiously::  CO:  You know, your secret is out.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles:: MO: It wasn't supposed to be a secret, I wasn't ready to share. ::Looks closer:: There is something you are not telling me. If you don't want to talk to me, I can have the counselor come. In fact, I think you should.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Stumbles back as the XO fires, limping slightly from the kick, his hands feeling slightly numb from the stun affect near where he had been holding Gark.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Opens her mouth and then closes it, the lie unspoken.::  CO:  Not now.  Later.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Moves quickly back to Gark and with the help of his team moves to bind his hands behind his back.::
Gark says:
::Fell to the floor but not unconscious from a very light stun::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods slowly:: MO: I will respect that for the moment, but I am going to have the counselor schedule an appointment with you. You've been through something I cannot begin to understand and you cannot keep it to yourself.
MO Lt Storm says:
CO:  Is this the brother or the captain speaking?
Gark says:
::Spits in front of the XO:: XO: you don’t know much about Yridians do you?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Places his knee into Gark's back as he drops down and grabs his arms, roughly pulling them back behind.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: Both, each in their own capacity. But more the brother. He should be down in the brig tearing that Yridian's nails out, but the Captain cannot do that.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Smiles wryly::  CO: You are going to be a pain, aren't you?
TO Lt James says:
::Tosses Heller a pair of restraints.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Grabs the restraints and uses them to bind Garks hands before standing and dragging him to his feet giving him a push toward Maor and the door.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sits down in front of the table, waiting for the CTO to secure the prisoner:: Gark: Let's be frank here. I don't have a lot of time here, so we'll just cut to the chase. You will tell me everything I need to know or I will make sure you won't leave this room. This isn't a threat, this is a promise. And if you think my uniform will protect you? You must not have heard of me. You think I need to know who the hell you are? I don't, then only thing I need to know about you is how much pressure your species can withstand before it shuts it self down.
Gark says:
::Begins to willingly be moved to let the crew think they are in control of his movements, they(the crew) truly under estimate the strength and stamina differences between them and himself::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: MO: Isn't that my job? ::Gets up off the biobed:: Suzi, I know this is strange for both of us, but I do care and you are my only family. I just want what is best for you. You need to tell me if I'm being a pain.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Grins at Maor's comment as he shoves Gark into a chair then reaches down and attaches the restraint to the chair as well.::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Nods::  CO:  I think that is my end of the job.  ::Nods toward the door.::  I am fine now.  Go find some answers.
SO Lt Rose says:
::As she works on the science rotation, a beep from the console catches her attention.::
Gark says:
XO: Did anyone ever tell you not to make promises you can't keep, Federation has laws, and even for prisoners.... You are not allowed to kill me
SO Lt Rose says:
::Putting the padd off to the side, she hits a few keys.::
Gark says:
::Crosses his arms and stares at the XO::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Turns towards the door:: MO: I will go bother the bridge crew, but I expect you to make that appointment with the counselor. Please?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Gork: Who said anything about killing you? Ever got struck by a Klingon? ::Punches him in the face:: Tell me what I need to know.
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  I am picking up some kind of signal.  Or I should say sensors briefly picked it up.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Simply nods her head.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Looks at his console as a warning starts flashing indication communications activities in the area:: SO: Yeah, I am getting it too. Appears to be encrypted, but let's let the computer chew on it for a bit..
Gark says:
::Laughs off the punch:: XO: I didn’t realize you were that weak!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Gork: Let's try it again then. ::Punches him again, same spot::
CO Capt Varesh says:
MO: I'll take that as a yes. ::Gives a small smile:: I'll see you later. ::Exits sickbay, heading back to the bridge::
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  Sensors pinpoint its location back from the outpost heading in our direction.  Somehow I do not think that is good news.
MO Lt Storm says:
::With a sigh she heads back toward her office.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
SO: Could they have launched more vessels to chase us?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles as the prisoner is punched somehow it was satisfying.::
Gark says:
XO: however, if you want to see your own court martial then so be it. ::Head jerks abruptly and Garks starts turning pale and eyes become bloodshot::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::walks down the corridor with a worried frown on his face, nodding absently to passing crew::
Gark says:
::Gark's body slouches down as he falls unconscious for a reason unknown to the crew::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Gork: It's sad you know? Those cameras outside caught you attempting to attacking a Starfleet officer. Took us ages to control you in here. Too bad the sensors won't work here. ::Nods at the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Vitals?
SO Lt Rose says:
OPS:  That or a waiting committee.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Quickly moves to storage locker and pulls out a tricorder.::  XO:  Vitals are fading quickly, picking up possible traces of poison.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::exits onto the bridge after a short TL ride:: OPS: Anything interesting happen while I was gone?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sighs:: *OPS*: Emergency site-to-site, sickbay. Behind a forcefield. ::Glances around:: Four to beam out.
Gark says:
::Falls to the floor::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*MO*: Be ready with a poison kit, Lieutenant. We're heading your way.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Hears the request:: *XO*: Report, commander.
MO Lt Storm says:
*XO*:  Acknoweldged
MO Lt Storm says:
::Standing up, quickly calls her nurse in and goes to the biobed where the prisoner now lays, unconscious.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
*XO*: Initiating.. ::Quickly pulls up transporter commands, then starts the transport::

ACTION:  Maor, Gark, Heller and James are all transported to medical and a forcefield goes up around that section of sickbay.

Gark says:
::Blood begins to leak from Gark's ears and eyes close::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: He poisoned himself, Captain. No idea why no one detected this on him.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Turns to the captain once done:: CO: Two things... This... ::Points at the console he just used:: And we picked up some communication from the outpost, encrypted but the computer is chewing on it right now...
CO Capt Varesh says:
::bites back a particularly vile oath:: *XO*: I'll let medical do their job. Keep me informed. ::Doesn't rush back to sickbay to jostle elbows::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Notes the blood and quickly grabs a hypospray::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Quickly she works to save the man::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Make sure this isn't a trick, at the first sign of him waking him I want him as far away as possible from her.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Walks over to the OPS console:: OPS: Tell me more about the encrypted communication. I need distraction.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Checks his system to see how far the computer has come on the decryption:: CO: My guess is, they are trying to coordinate some sort of chase... But we'll probably find out more when we can listen to the message...
MO Lt Storm says:
::Soon she has his bioscans evened out.  Though a look at his brain waves does not look good.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  Yes sir.  ::Moves to allow room for Storm to work but close enough to get to him quickly if he makes a wrong move.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the poison readings from one of the consoles::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: OPS: I guess it doesn't help to speculate. Let me know when you have the complete decrypted message.
MO Lt Storm says:
::Looks up at the other men, a hint of wariness in her eyes..::  All:  He will live.  But there is some brain damage.  How much, I do not know yet.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods agreement once more::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Goes to sit in his chair again, finally reading the almost forgotten report that Brianna gave him earlier::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CO*: This is a dead end, Captain.
Gark says:
::Remains unconscious::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Curses as he looks down at Gark, there went another possible lead to Tankard.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Mutters to himself:: Self: Pun intended.
CO Capt Varesh says:
*XO*: Understood. Keep a guard detachment in sickbay.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: I recognize this poison, why didn't we detect its presence beforehand?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
TO:  James stay here and watch him.  Any signs of movement, let me know.  ::Turns to the XO::  XO:  I don't know but I will review our logs and see if I can track down the failure.
MO Lt Storm says:
:: Picks up his hand, something triggers a memory::  XO:  Its location, commander.  :: points to the missing finger nail.::
