"Out of The Darkness..." 
Episode 9:  Piercing the Darkness...
Previously on Deep Space 102: 
The USS Scorpius pursued escaping Orion Pirates and captured them just before they could make good their Getaway into the asteroid belt of the nearby Argolis Epsilon system.

The prisoners have been kept in the brig area of the Scorpius and are about to be interrogated by the appropriate officers.  Forensic investigations continue on the runabout they had stolen.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
SC_Captain_Marek says:
::preparing himself to play "bad cop"::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::on her way down to the brig to watch the interrogation::

Host CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: stands, hands behind her back, waiting on the SC and XO ::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::carrying his medical probes as he enters the brig area::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::In Main Ops at the flight control console.  Reads her orders on the display and sighs.  Thinks: Not the Klingon....::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: Ready, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: ready when you are, Sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::walks into an observation room and sits down::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::in docking bay examining the Talarian ship::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The three prisoners appear to be unconscious, bleeding, and badly injured...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: Well, Captain, seems that you will have to play the equilibrate person, just to balance our little acting

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Motions a relief officer to the flight control console, grabs her pack from under the console and heads for the docking bays.  Enters the turbolift:: TL: Docking bays, section 31B.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::  SC:  Indeed Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::walks into the brig, and sees the prisoners already look as though they have been tortured::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
SC/XO:  It would appear that our guests are in no shape to be questioned.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sees the injuries to the prisoners:: *XO*:  I think these guys may need a little medical attention.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV/SC: Well, this isn’t what I expected to see. ::glances at the prisoners::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::begins scans of the engines for any signs of stress::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: How about performing a discreet medical scan over them using the Brig sensors

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* I would tend to agree, Sir.  

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks to docking bay 18::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  Then see to it.  I don't want them dying before they tell us anything ...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* I'm on it.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV/SC: Well, let's see if i remember my medical training.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Goes to a sensor panel, and begins running scans of the prisoners::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hears the docking bay entrance doors open:: FCO: Commander...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::stands next to the XO staring at the panel::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Walks into docking bay 18, somewhat hesitantly and heads over to the Talarian vessel::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::raises an eyebrow at the scan result showed on the console::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Our Orion friends are not in bad shape.  Basically some bumps and abrasions.  However, the human ::tapes a few buttons:: Will need to be beamed to sickbay, in my opinion.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: turns and retrieves a tricorder ::  XO/SC:  I can at least do preliminary first aid on them.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  I'll be in the docking bay.  Let me know when you're ready to question them.  ::has no sympathy for the prisoners::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* Will do, Sir.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: Agreed.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Marek to Horn

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Pokes her head into the doorway of the Talarian vessel before climbing in.  Heads to the flight console and drops her pack on a nearby seat::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: In case you forgot, Captain, I can do more than first aid on them.  I AM still a licensed doctor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::continues engine scan:: FCO: Just checking the engines on this crate to see... ::sees the FCO ignore him, then follows::  FCO: Hey, commander, we're supposed to be working together on this?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
XO:  I did not forget Commander.  I was just offering my assistance.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: It seems necessary to beam the human prisoner to Sickbay due to his condition. Please Captain, see that proper custody is sent there.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: I would suggest that you and Captain Marek cover me as will go in and see to their needs, just in case they aren’t as bad as the scans appear.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Do it.  I'll see that security is sent at once.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::contacts Security and has a team sent to Sickbay to guard the prisoner::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over the flight control console and without looking over her shoulder says:: CEO: You stick with your engines, and I'll take care of the database.  ::Taps buttons on the console::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
XO:  Consider yourself "covered" Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Lowers the force field on the brig, and enters::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged. *Sickbay*: Be ready to receive one prisoner from the Brig in need of medical assistance.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*Computer*: Beam the human prisoner to sickbay.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Pulls a PADD out of her pack and activates it while the Talarian computer database is running it's start-up sequences::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::nods at the CIV: CIV/XO: Indeed. Proceed Commander

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::brushes off the last comment and goes to the engine compartment, looking in storage compartments::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Places the PADD on the console and taps some buttons on the Talarian console to begin downloading the database:: Self: Okay, navigational data first!  ::Chooses the correct files from the displayed list::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Takes out a tricorder, and begins scanning the remaining Orion prisoners, finding that they appear to have been thrown around the runabout pretty much, banged up.  One has a mild concussion and numerous sprains and bruises, but nothing life threatening::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Commander Benson!  I think you might want to see this!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Moves to the second Orion and begins scans::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Cringes at the CEO's shouting:: CEO: What?  ::Stands, turns and walks back to the CEO's position:: CEO: What?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::moves closer to the forcefield with a serious expression on his face, and his hand over the phaser holster, making sure that the prisoner notices that::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::pulls out a few discs:: FCO: I think I found some interesting stuff.  They look like old computer discs.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::arrives at the docking port after leaving the Scorpius.  Heads towards the Talarian vessel::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Contacts sickbay, and requests that a hypospray be beamed to him with various containers of medications::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Pulls out a disc and inspects it:: CEO: They're a bit beat up.  Don't even know if we have any equipment to read them.  I think they sold all that old equipment at last year's Promenade "yard sale."

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::examines them visually:: FCO: They look like something from Kirk's time... optical reader discs.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Scanning the second Orion, he comes across a chemical that shouldn’t be on the Orion's body... or any other body for that matter.  He reaches his hand around, looking for something specific::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::enters the ship hesitantly:  CEO/FCO:  Cmdr Masters, Cmdr Benson?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Finds what he is looking for, removes it, and goes back to the first Orion::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Turns as the CO walks in:: CO: Sir....

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: Proceed with caution, Commander...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Scans the first Orion closer than the first time, and finds what he is looking for::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Tell me you're having more luck then the XO/SC/CIV are?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC/CIV: I have something for you.  Please drop the field.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Gather them up.  We can try to extract the data.  ::Walks back to the flight control console to check on the database download::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::taps on the console:: XO: Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: I think I can fashion something to read these things.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::picks up one of the disks:: CEO:  What are they?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: I'm downloading the nav files now, Sir.  ::Picks up her PADD and taps the button to bring up the files she just downloaded.  Pounds the button several times, not believing what she see's::  CO: It looks like files have been deleted, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, we've found some 23rd-century optical reader discs.  I can't imagine why a ship like this would want antiquated technology.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Any chance of recovering the data?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::moves next to the XO, this time firmly grabbing his phaser without taking it out of the holster::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Hands the SC the two pills in his hand::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  We might if we find out what's on them

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
XO:  You recovered only 2 capsules?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC/CIV: These Orions are on a suicide mission.  If they used these pills, they would be dead right now.  I think we didn't give them the chance.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Sighs, still pounding on the button on the PADD:: CO: Well, I can try downloading the rest of their database.  After that I can see if I can recover the files.  They might have a back up system somewhere.  ::Pulls another PADD out of her pack and begins downloading the rest of the database::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Well, why I am not surprised? This is typical of these pirates...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: My scans only showed two.  

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Do what you can.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::emphasis on the word pirates::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Contact sickbay.  I would bet that the human has a pill on him as well.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: I think I can fashion a crude reader that can download the data from these discs onto a PADD.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Need a hand?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: My scans do not show any other anomalous items on them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  I'll keep you informed.  ::Begins tapping buttons on the Talarian console, searching for back up files::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods :: XO:  That is unusual Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::almost scoffs at the CO, but the CO/CEO relationship overwhelms the Klingon/Romulan animosity::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*Sickbay*: Commander Mahl has substantial evidence that may confirm that the prisoner you have there may be carrying suicidal pills. Please, see to proceed accordingly to this. Marek out

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO: You know I wasn't always a Captain ... I was an engineer once.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC/CIV: These pills seem to be closely related to felodesine chips, but they are slightly different chemically, and also appear to be more potent.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: I read your file.  Sure, I can use all the help I can get.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Marek to Horn. Captain, Commander Mahl has just discovered that our "guests" were hiding suicidal pills among their clothes.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::blows some dust off the discs::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  It wasn't the only thing they were carrying, Captain.   Make sure they cannot use those pills.  Cmdrs Masters and Benson have come up with something here too.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Commander Mahl took care of it. We suspect that the human prisoner may have been able to take the pill before we discover it, but he is receiving medical care right now.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Understood.  Keep me informed.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Can you tell me what Masters and Benson found?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC/CIV: Other than those pills, I can find nothing life threatening to the prisoners.  I gave them some medication, as well as a mild sedative to keep them down for a bit.  I would also suggest separating them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks down at the PADD screen as it scrolls with the download.  Shakes her head then goes back to her search for back up files::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  23rd Century data disks.  We're going to fashion something to read what's on them.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: ::attempts to make a joke:: Separate them, and use the water hose... ::raises an eyebrow::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO/CIV: Just joking. Let's proceed to move the prisoner to separate cells.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Separate, not destroy!

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: SC:  I hardly believe that will be necessary Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Mumbles as she taps buttons on the flight console:: Self: What, they don't do back ups on their files?  ::Keeps searching::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO:  I take it there are specs on 23rd century data readers?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
Computer: Lock onto the Orion prisoner on the left, and transport to Brig cell number 2.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC/CIV: There is very little else, if anything, that we can do here right now.  I suggest coming back in a few hours to do our interrogations.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: The library should have something.  Heck, these things were used until the Enterprise-B was launched.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over at the PADD and sees that the download is completed.  Picks up the PADD and pounds the button, looking at gaps in the file structures, obvious signs of deletions::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods :: XO:  Of course Commander.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: turns on her heal and heads out of the brig ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO: Then I suggest we find it and build ourselves something useful.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV/SC: I am heading back to the bridge if anyone needs me.  If you will both excuse me...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Turns and heads for a lift::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::frustrated:: XO: I will meet Captain Horn.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: I suggest you come with me, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Shall we convene in my office, then, ma'am?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* Captain.  There is nothing we can do at this time.  It will be a few hours before the sedatives wear off.  I am returning to main Ops.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Stands and walks back to the CO, still pounding on the PADD button as she walks:: CO: Sir, looks like several files are missing in their database.  ::Holds out the PADD so she can see the gaps in the file structure::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  Understood.  I'll be in Engineering with Cmdr Masters working on a project.  You can contact me there if necessary.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::takes the padd and looks::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* Understood.  Mahl out.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: SC:  For what purpose Captain?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Could be what's on these ... ::holds up one of the disks::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: So far, no luck on locating a back up file but I haven't looked through the entire computer system yet.  I'll keep at it.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::smiles:: FCO:  Thank you, Commander.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: To see if we can do something more productive, helping the others, until we are able to interrogate the prisoners.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::has a thought:: CEO:  I wonder ...  ::looks at the disk thoughtfully::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::heads to the TL::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks at the disc in the CO's hand:: CO: As I told Cmdr. Masters, we sold all the old equipment at last year's Promenade Yard Sale.  But the specs on the scanners to read those discs are in the station database.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
SC:  I was just going to do that Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: You think these discs are the back-ups to the nav systems?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Could be.  But I'm only speculating here

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::opens a tricorder and begins scanning for something that resembles an optical reader::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO/CEO: If that's the case, there has to be equipment on board to read those discs.  ::Looks around::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::enters the nearest TL::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO/FCO:  Would be easy enough to replicate a reader that could tie into our systems.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: As I said, the specs are in the station's database.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO/CO: As did I.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Agreed.  CEO: Add it to the list of things your teams are to look for.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Is it just nav data they've deleted?  Or is there more?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Aye ma'am.  ::makes a note:: In the meantime, we can get a reader made and set up in my office.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Pack up those discs and take them to engineering.  I can access the specs and replicate a reader.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::orders the TL to Main Engineering::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: More than just nav data, Sir.  That last batch I showed you was their entire database.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: follows the SC ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  They don't want us to know what they were up to ....

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: I was going to do the same, Raine.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Get it replicated and here as soon as you can.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Apparently, Sir.  These guys are borderline pirates.  They get a load, pilfer a few crates, make the drop and off they go.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.  ::exits the ship and heads to engineering::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  And possibly more than that.  The human that was with them ... let's just say I've seen him before.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: My name is LtCmdr. Benson, Commander.  ::Gives the Klingon a dirty look::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Raises eyebrows:: CO: Really, Sir?  Do you recall where or when?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Starbase 245 just before it blew up.  He was involved in a slave-trading operation based around the station.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  We thought he was blown up with the Station ... seems we may have been wrong.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  What's worse ... he's Starfleet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::finds the specs for an optical reader, feeds it into the computer to have it replicated::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Wow!  well, if he is the same guy, obviously he didn't blow up.  Anyway, I have to complete my search of their computer.  I should only be another 20 minutes.  Then I'll go to engineering and take a look at those data discs.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
:exits the TL and heads to meet the CO::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Good. Nice work, Commander.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  ::Turns and heads back to the flight console::

CNS_Rand says:
::reads through a report on Engineer Castillo...::thinks he will need to undergo extensive therapy::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: follows the SC out to see if she can assist with the current work ::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: This is quite a conundrum, isn't it?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::arrives where the CO and the CEO are working:: CO: Captain.

CNS_Rand says:
::downloads her report and heads out and to the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::grabs the reader from the replicator and returns to the ship:: CO: Here's a reader, ma'am.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
SC:  It is something to ponder indeed Captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Get it to the FCO.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::stands there thinking::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::looks at the CO puzzled, then takes it to the FCO at flight:: FCO: Here you go.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks at the Klingon holding the disc reader in his hands and sarcastically states:: CEO: Oh, couldn't wait until I got to engineering, I see.  Put it on that console.  ::Points::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: heads to a console to look over what had been found thus far ::

CNS_Rand says:
::steps off the lift onto the bridge and quietly hands her report to the Captain:: 

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks around her ... not sure of what she's looking for::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::tries to catch up with the rest of the crew findings::

CNS_Rand says:
CO: You seem confused, Captain.  Is there anything that I can do?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: I had the feeling that the information on those discs was more urgent than going to engineering to read them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Moves over to a side console where the disc reader is.  Takes a disc from the small stack of three and inserts it into the reader:: CO/CEO: Okay, let's see what's on these discs.  ::Watches as the reader activates::  Hmm...looks like the files are encrypted....

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hears his tricorder beep:: CO/FCO: I just found something.  The reader on this ship is... in the head!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::moves over to the CEO/FCO::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks blankly at the CEO:: CEO:  In the what?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: The head.  ::goes there, then chuckles:: They disguised it as a roll of toilet tissue!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS: No, just thinking ... If you were smuggling or trying to hide something ... where would you put it?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Then go get it!

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps a few buttons on the reader and watches the display:: CO/CEO: Okay, looks like all the files that were deleted from the ship's database....names, bases, and ooo...Starfleet Contacts apparently involved in the Orion Slave rings.  Interesting....

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  The one on Starbase 245 I bet ... they were moving their operation ...

CNS_Rand says:
::observes the others on the bridge:: CO: It depends on what I was hiding.  Information, I would code and hide among other computer code.  Cargo, in inconspicuous areas of the ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::brings out the toilet paper roll-shaped device::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Agreed.  And where's the most inconspicuous place of them all on a freighter ....

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Puts in another disc into the reader and taps a few buttons decrypting the files.  Raises eyebrows:: CO: Don't think you'll want to see these, Sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO:  Oh?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Yanks out the disc:: CO: Uhh...no, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: It's just shaped like a roll of old-time TP, and... ::shuts up when FCO said her thing::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Let me see that ... consider it an order.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: But, Sir....it's...well...graphic?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:   I think I can cope.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::holds out her hand::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Jabs the disc back in the reader:: CO: Very well, Sir.  ::Taps the buttons on the reader device and moves back, allowing the CO to see the display screen::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::moves in to see for herself::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::peeks over CO's shoulder::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow at what she is seeing::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO/CEO: Busy man....  ::Raises eyebrows::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Indeed he is ....

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: What in the universe is that, captain?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: I still have one disc left to view.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::gets more and more fascinated for the unusual findings:: ::Self:: Fascinating...

CNS_Rand says:
CO: I would think the cargo hold among the other cargo containers, perhaps in crates with the approved materials.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::pulls the disk free:: FCO: Be my guest.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS:  Precisely.  What was this ship carrying?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::takes the disc and puts it in the cylindrical reader he found::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: If you're done gawking, Commander. ... ::Pushes her way back to the reader device and yanks the disc out and inserts the last disc::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  I'll take that.  Evidence.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: CEO has it, Sir.  ::Runs the decryption routine::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Commander ... ::holds out her hand expectantly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Files are decrypted... ::hands the reader to the CO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Begins reading the files on the last disc::

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Slaves, for the most part.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  I think I saw that ...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Take some teams down to the cargo bays ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hands the second disc to the CO:: CO: Sorry, ma'am.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  I think you know what you're looking for.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::pockets the disk and waits to find what's on the third disk::

CNS_Rand says:
