Deep Space 102 – 10611.03
 
"Out of The Darkness..." 
Episode 10: The Day Dawns...
Previously on Deep Space 102: 

Data has been discovered that unlocks the entire puzzle of the slavery ring, apparently.  Names of contacts, locations, routes, Starfleet Officers either paid to look the other way or directly involved and in what capacity...everything is now in the hands of the crew of Deep Space 102.

The prisoners were scanned while unconscious and their suicide pills were discovered and confiscated.  So far they have been stubborn since awaking, refusing to answer any questions at this point.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks disturbed in the ready room on the bridge of the Scorpius going over the information they have gathered.::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: sits at an empty console on the Scorpius, waiting to interrogate the prisoners. ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::at engineering console in Ops, examining the power relays::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::walks through the Scorpius Bridge, and rings the RR door chime::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Enter.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::enters Horn's ready room:: CO: Captain. ::nods and proceed to her desk::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Takes a PADD from the Beta shift Flight Control Officer, nods and tosses her pack under the console.  Sits down and reads over the night's logs::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  How are our "guests" ::said with disgust::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Captain, to be honest, I am still waiting for medical clearance for them to be interrogating. To be honest, I would like to interrogate them whatever medical condition they are... But it just this old former CTO speaking

CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge of the Scorpius::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Believe me, I share your feelings, there.  Especially after reviewing this ::picks up the padd and waves it::

CTO_Horn says:
::Looks around and realizes how much he really missed this place::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  You have no idea how high this goes, Marek.  Admirals, Captains, Starfleet personnel.  ::shakes her head::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Sir? ::grabs the PADD and begins reading it; after a while his face certainly demonstrates his concern::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over the night shift logs and makes notes on the PADD for her report::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: This is a very delicate question, Captain. I think, we should pass this information anyway. It is our obligation as SF officers after all, ::raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Horn says:
::Remembers back to the first time he stepped onto the bridge::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  I'd like to bring Cmdr Horn in on this.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  I know ONE Admiral I'd trust with this.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: And Captain Serok also, I would suggest.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Sir, and that Admiral is....

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: ::intrigued::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  You've met him, Captain, the day we arrived on the Station.  He was the one who sent me to investigate SB245 in the first place.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Captain to Cmdr Horn.

CTO_Horn says:
::Snaps out of his recollections::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Oh, I see. I have heard some respectable opinions on him.

CTO_Horn says:
*CO*: Horn here.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Yes, and I know he can be trusted.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Please join Captain Marek and myself in my Ready Room, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
::Walks across the bridge and rings his wife’s bell::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Enter.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Captain, may I use your replicator?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Certainly.

CTO_Horn says:
::Steps into the RR::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Take a seat, Russ.  We've just discovered something very disturbing.  ::hands him the Padd::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: ::nods and moves next the replicator console:: Hot dark Vulcan tea.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: Commander ::nods::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Do you want anything?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  No thanks.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Places the PADD on the console to answer a hail from an incoming Federation freighter:: COM: Fed. Freighter: Acknowledged.  You are cleared to dock in docking bay 21.  We can begin offloading your cargo as soon as you have powered down.  Crews are standing by to receive your cargo.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: Commander? ::points to the replicator while grabbing his tea with the left hand::

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes a seat::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Yes please, Tomato juice.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
Replicator: Tomato juice.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: So what do we have?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  This contains information on a slavery ring we discovered on Starbase 245.  But it's a lot bigger than we thought.  This contains routes, dates, ships, and contacts, a lot of them Starfleet.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::waits it to materialize, then hands it to the CTO and sits in front of the CO's desk::

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes the juice:: SC: Thank you.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Brings up the data on the Federation freighter and checks the cargo manifest::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: May I see that?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::completes the power survey, then takes a glance over at flight control, wondering if, when or how he'd approach the FCO to talk about what is causing friction from her to him::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::points out the names of a couple of Admiral and at least a half-a-dozen Starfleet Captains who are implicated::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Brings up a list of the incoming and outgoing traffic and begins scanning the ID's, checking them against the schedule on the PADD::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: continues to go over relevant information ::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I know most of these names, and I have met a few of these officers.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::checks the incoming ship manifest for repair orders::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  We need to stop this ... now.  The question is how?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We must take this to the Federation.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  I agree.  But given how high this goes ... who do we trust with this information?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Not Starfleet, but straight to the president.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Captain, I'd like to hear any ideas you may have as well.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Sits up straight in her chair when she notices a discrepancy in a few of the digital ID's.  Checks them again to be sure::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I believe that we can trust Admiral Taylor as well.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Agreed.  *CIV*:  Horn to Captain Serok.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Makes note of the discrepancies before hitting the COM button on her console:: *SC*: Benson to Captain Marek.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: looks up :: *CO* Serok here Captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Can you please come to my Ready Room?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
*CO* Of course Captain.  On my way.  Serok out.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  This is the only copy of this information.  I am holding the original disks under my authorization.  No one is to touch them without my say so.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO/CTO: ::meditative:: I agree with Commander Horn. We should take this to the highest level we can. But only with the support through completely trustable officer. Otherwise we only will be risking not only our careers, but to leave this whole thing without punishment

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: gets up and walks the few paces to the Captain's ready room door and activates the chime ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  Enter.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: enter and nods to the SC and CTO :: CO:  You wished to see me Captain?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Which is why we are going to give this information to Admiral Taylor.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Show her the padd, Commander.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*FCO*: Go ahead.

CTO_Horn says:
::Nods to Serok::

CTO_Horn says:
::Hands Serok the Padd::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: takes the padd and looks through it and raises her eyebrow ::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I do suggest that we have more than one copy of that.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO/SC/CTO:  Most disturbing.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*SC*: Sir, I was making my usual checks on the incoming and outgoing traffic for my report and I noticed that there were a few freighters who's identifications don't exactly match what is in our database.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: If something were to happen to that one we would be up a creek.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  I don't agree, Commander.  More copies would just make it easier for it to fall into the wrong hands.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  Agreed.  We were discussing our next course of action.  I'd like to hear your thoughts as well.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  We still have the originals here ... and they are going nowhere.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  I would contact Admiral Taylor and Admiral Silek, Captain.  Both are above reproach.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CO:  I'd like to know more about Admiral Silek before I'd trust him with this.  What can you tell me.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*FCO*: Contact them immediately. Double check the data on our database, and confirm their identifications. If you have the slightest doubt about them, contact me immediately,.. And be ready to jump to Yellow Alert. These are times to be precautious ::looks at the CO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*SC*: It would seem that their ID's have been altered.  I have a list of seven so far.  Of those, five have departed the station during the Beta shift but two are still docked and I have not yet completed checking the entire report.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: I agree with Commander Horn. We should be sure to keep this information. We cannot risk losing it.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  Aside from the fact he is my spouse Captain, he is very highly thought of by Admiral Taylor as well.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CIV:  Well, in that case ... contact away.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  He even served on this ship briefly under cover as TO.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*SC*: I suggest we notify Commander Horn and have him check out the two freighters that are still docked.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC/CTO:  Make ONE more copy, no more.  and I want it kept as securely as possible. Understood.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*FCO*: Secure the docked ships. Trace the course of the departed ship.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  Of course Captain.  IF I may use your console, I prefer not to do this outside of this room.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*SC*: Aye, Sir.  Benson, out.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*FCO*: He will be on his way.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I know the perfect place to keep it.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::gets up so she can access the controls:: CIV:  Permission granted.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods at the CO and sits at the console and routes a subspace message to both Admirals ::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: May I ask you where?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*Security*: Security teams to docking bays 37 and 29.  Lockdown those vessels and wait for further orders.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Where is the last place on this ship anybody would look for it?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  I'll get the originals.  ::moves over to a perfectly concealed safe and retrieves the third data disk::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Security teams see to the FCO's orders...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hears about the security lockdown, wishes he could help, being a former CTO::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: The FCO have brought to my attention a rare situation with some ships.  I want you to personally investigate it.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:; waits for a response from either Admiral Taylor or Silek ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::hands over the disk to the CTO::  CTO: Bring this right back when it's done.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Sets up her console to do a complete comparison of all traffic in and out of the station over the last 48 hours with the station's database::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Will do.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: I have ordered a lock down over the Station. Something real funny is going on with some ships. And the most strange thing is that happening right now.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I will copy this independent of the ships computer.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Good.  Dismissed.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: Although I would like to stay to discuss this, it seems that this situation requires me to return to Main Ops. If you excuse me, Captain.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COM: DS102: Taylor here.  Ah!  Captain.  To what do I owe the pleasure?

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes the padd and stands::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Now why do I have a feeling that this is related ...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: You read my mind

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::stands and heads out of the CO's RR::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  I would recommend detaining the ship and its crew for a full search.

CTO_Horn says:
::Stops and turns:: CO: Dinner tonight?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Already ordered, Captain.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@COM: Taylor:  Admiral, a situation has arisen that requires your presence.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::grins:: CTO:  Of course.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@COM: Taylor:  I would rather discuss it in person.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CTO: Please, see to personally conduct the search over the docked ships.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: 1800 hours?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Oh, come to our quarters on the Station.  I have someone I need to introduce to you.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  It's a date.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Isolates all the odd digital ID's then brings up their ship classes::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I will be there.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*FCO*: I am on my way to Main Ops, Benson.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: I will search every inch of those ships with a fine tooth comb.

CTO_Horn says:
::Turns and leaves::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*SC*: Aye, Sir.  I will have a complete list of all the ID's when you arrive.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::nods to the CTO and hurries to Main Ops::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns her attention to Capt Serok and her conversation with Admiral Taylor::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COM: CIV:  Of course, Captain.  I am nearby.  I will be arriving momentarily.  ::signals off screen to a helm officer::  ETA 1.347 minutes.  Taylor out.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::completes her report and forwards it to Captain Horn and Captain Marek::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks at the list and notices differences not only in the digital ID's but also some of the ship classes::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
::nods :: CO:  Admiral Taylor will be here momentarily.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  Well, we best go and greet the Admiral.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  Of course Captain.  After you.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Horn to Cmdr Benson.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*CO*: Benson, here.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: follows Captain Horn ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*FCO:  A ship carrying a rather important Admiral will be arriving momentarily.  It has clearance to dock.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::leaves the Scorpius and enters the station, heading to the nearest TL::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::hears an admiral is coming and signals his engineers to do a quick clean-up::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps her console changing the screen to nav sensor detail and see's a ship approaching:: *CO*: Aye, Captain, I have an Akira class ship, identified as the USS Typhoon approaching.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Give them immediate clearance.  Which docking port?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Checks the computer for open docking ports:: *CO*: Clearance will be given for docking port 4, Sir.

CTO_Horn says:
::Heads to his quarters::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Tell Admiral Taylor that Captain Serok and I will greet him upon arrival.  Horn out.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::smiles as she feels the baby move, lets her hand rest on her stomach a moment before heading out of her office::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  Shall we go?  ::leaves the RR::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.  Benson, out.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods and follows the CO ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::walks very quickly heading for the docking port::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::Arrives to Main OPS::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: Report. Any progress on the ship identification?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@<Typhoon OPS> COM: DS-102 Operations: This is the USS Typhoon with Admiral Taylor aboard requesting docking clearance.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::saunters over to flight control:: FCO: Commander, do you have... ::interrupted by SC::  Never mind.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Typhoon: This is LtCmdr. Benson Flight Control Officer.  You have clearance to dock at docking port 4 and welcome aboard.  Captain Horn and Captain Serok will be there to greet you.  Benson, out.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::exits the Scorpius and heads at a near run to Docking Port 4.

CTO_Horn says:
::Enters his quarters and pulls out a portable recording device and begins to copy the info on the padd::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: paces the CO ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Turns to the SC:: SC: Sorry, Captain, was clearing Admiral Taylor's ship to dock.  As to your question, I have completed my comparison.  Here is a list of all the ships that have docked and those that have left the station in the last 48 hours.  There are not only discrepancies on the digital ID's but also the ship classes.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::walks through the docking ramp::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::arrives at Docking Port 4::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: arrives at the docking port with the CO just as the Admiral's ship docks ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Either our database needs serious updating or there is something not quite right.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::walks along the promenade observing personnel interactions::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: I would agree with the last part of your statement, Benson. Something is not right at all. Hopefully, the CTO' search will help us to clarify this out.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: stands and waits for the Admiral ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::exits the docking connector and onto the station, looking around briefly::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Nods to the SC:: SC: Shall I send this list to the CTO's office?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
Admiral:  Admiral Taylor.  Welcome aboard, Sir.  ::stands at attention::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO/CEO: Well, I think we have visits again.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: salutes :: Taylor:  Admiral.  :: nods ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  As you were.  CO:  Thank you Captain.  CIV:  What's so important, Suvok?  ::pleasantly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Is it the same admiral that visited us when the Scorpius first arrived?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Yes, Masters. Admiral Taylor himself. He is legend among SF officers.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
Taylor:  Admiral, the incident you sent the Scorpius to investigate on Starbase 245 has, as you would say, come to a head Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I hear that he almost pops out of thin air.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CIV:  Indeed.  ::raised eyebrow::  Then I assume we'll want more...logical quarters for the briefing.  ::nods and smiles.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
Taylor:  What we found during a search of a suspect freighter is, I would say, disturbing in the least.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods :: Taylor:  Naturally Admiral.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV/ADM:  My ready room on the Scorpius is secure.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::makes a mental note of inappropriate behavior of a young officer and plans on looking up his profile and checking on his last evaluation::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Well, that is one common remark on the Admiral, Master.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Well, that's something I think I read in Capt. VanSickle's duty logs when he was in Capt. Horn's position.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Then we should go there directly.  Speed is likely of the essence if you have called me here.  ::motions for them to lead the way::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::heads back for the Scorpius with the Admiral and the CIV::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: nods and starts to walk towards the Scorpius ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::slowly makes her way to operations::
