Deep Space 102 - 10711.16

"The Game"
Episode 4 - Who are You?

Previously on DS102:

Two new additions to the crew are arriving on a Rnabout for the station, the new XO and the new FCO.

The CTO and CEO have discovered the dead body of the assasin at the Secondan conference, and are awaiting the results of an autopsy from Medical.

The CNS has taken the statements of the Secondan delegation, who are shocked and somewhat confused by the assasination.

But who was the assasin?

And what was the talk of Revolution?  Secondus has been at peace for over 100 years...

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

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Any news on the autopsy results?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::checks the Runabout ETA::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::disembarks from the runnabout transport and remembers the station schematics he'd been studying::

CNS_Rand says:
::reassures the Secondans that Station Security will find answers for them, then heads out of the conference area and up to Operations::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Cadet Ferrone, you know your way around a station?

CNS_Rand says:
::walks quickly down the corridor to the nearest lift, hoping that they've found some answers::

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in his chair on the Scorpius ::

CNS_Rand says:
:;enters the lift:: Computer: Operations.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: Aye sir.  I've been stationed at a few of these stations.

CNS_Rand says:
::waits impatiently for the lift to open onto Operations::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Not yet. We should have them at any time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::orders engineering crew to increase sensitivity of the security sensors::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ACknowledged. ::taps his console impatiently::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: We should probably check in with Command..... ::looks around for the closest turbolift access point::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: Aye, sir.   This way.  :: heads over to the turbolift::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CTO/SC: Commander, captain, the engineering crew is going to increase sensitivity of the security sensors. That way, any biological movement can be detected.

CNS_Rand says:
::steps out as the doors are opening hoping to hears something about the assassin::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Oh, and before I forget, good luck with this assignment. I hear it's a good crew.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: steps into the turbolift :: XO: I've heard that before, sir.  But thank you nonetheless.  :: grins ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Very well. Be sure to set the sensors with the exact same signature of the body... although I think we will not hear from them for a little while...

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::enters the turbolift with the Cadet:: Computer: Operations

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think this was a "hit and run" type of attack

CTO_Horn says:
CEO: Until we know how the assassin was able to avoid sensor detection we wont be able to do much to prevent it from happening again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CTO: Well, this way we can know where even the smallest insect is at all times.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I doubt that's the case, sir. Someone or some other organization has to be behind this incident, I think.

CNS_Rand says:
SC/CTO: Is there any way to investigate the rumor of the revolution he mentioned. None of the Secondans in the conference room has ever heard about it.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Sir? May we speak in your ready room?

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: arrives at Operations and lets the XO exit the turbolist first ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Well, is something that we should leave to the proper intelligence branch... or we could initiative our own investigation of course... ::Raises an eyebrow::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Commander? Sure... 

CNS_Rand says:
SC/CTO: Is there a way to trace back the assassin to see how he arrived on the station?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::motions the CTO to follow him to his Ready Room::

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows the SC::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sees two new people exit the turbolift:: XO/FCO: Can I help you sir, cadet?

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Are all the ships keeping themselves away from the station as ordered?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the RR:: CTO: Please take a seat... So, go ahead, Commander.

CTO_Horn says:
::Sits::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: stands at attention for CEO Masters and defers to the XO to speak ::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: I have the autopsy results.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Yes, Commander, the Cadet Ferrone and I need to check in with the CO

CTO_Horn says:
SC: There is a reason that the Secondans have no clue about a revolution.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Very well. So, for the tone of your voice I guess that is true... and something twisted is behind it, right?

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<OPS>CO: All docked ships are not moving for now, the ships in the system appear to keep their distances

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Ah, you must be our new XO. I am Lt. Cmdr. Groth Masters, chief engineer. Capt. Marek is meeting with Cmdr. Horn, the tactical chief.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: This is not good.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Pleased to meet you

CTO_Horn says:
SC: It appears that our assassin was not whom he appeared to be.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::looks around the Operations center wondering if this place is going to end up like his last assignment::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: At ease Cadet, this might take a while..... my advice, make yourself look useful

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: You'd have to excuse everything here, sir, but we're in the middle of an assassination investigation.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: And who is him exactly?

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Oh, wonderful, nothing in my orders mentioned that

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
XO: Aye, sir.  :: thinks: make myself useful flying a station? ::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CEO: Please, fill me in a bit with what you already know

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Him was not a Secondan. He was a Romulan.

CNS_Rand says:
::overhears the CEO and turns toward the voices::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: slips away from the CEO and XO and moves to the docking control station ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::a cold sensation goes through his spine when he hears the CTO mention the word "Romulan"::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: What I can tell you is that we're hosting a conference held by the Secondans, but during the keynote speech, someone shot him with a phaser. We found the perp, but he killed himself before Cmdr. Horn and I could apprehend him. He shouted something about a revolution.

CNS_Rand says:
::studies them briefly as she activates a nearby Science console and begins pulling up sensor readings::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: So... ::frowns:: Our friends from the Empire are back again at their favorite sport... plotting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: This is Counselor Rand, she might fill in some details from the Secondan delegation's end.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Apparantly relations with the Romulans are not as good as we thought they were.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: Or we are dealing with a faction that does not want to see a peace betwwen the Federation and Romulans.

CNS_Rand says:
::looks up and nods:: XO: Aye Sir...the Secondans are in shock over this incident. They are a peace loving people and according to each of the delegates that I interviewed, there was no revolution.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: smiles at the officer handling traffic control and takes in the intricacies of what it's all about ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Any sign of Tal Shiar?

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CNS: You must be the infamous Counselor I've read so much about. Please to make your aquaintance ma'am.... ::throws in a bit of a southern drawl:: And thanks for the additional intel

CTO_Horn says:
SC: There can be no way to know for sure at this point. I wouldnt put this past the Tal Shiar. They were always the most paranoid and ruthless Romulans they could recruit and are die hard patriots of the Empire.

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Yo'Ghi to Marek, we are keeping the perimeter around DS102, how about that search of yours?

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: XO: Pleased to meet you as well. I've been in my share of trouble.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Captain, well, little progress is being made here. Commander Horn has just informed me about the most shocking news on the matter. The corpse that him and the CEO found a while ago turned to be a Romulan being.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Cadet, I don't think I caught your name.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CNS: I'm not very familiar with the Secondians, What else can you tell me about them? Do you have some other information or a station I can look them up on?

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: looks up from the traffic control screen at the sound of his name ::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
CEO: Sir.  My name is Ferrone.  Cadet Ferrone.

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Shocking indeed, we will start to look for signs of a cloaked ship

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Got a first name, Ferrone?

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
CEO: James, sir.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Please do. I will keep you updated.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: The Secondans are a simple people. They are eager to please and happy to be off their home world.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: We need to keep this on a need to know basis. The fewer people that know at this time the better.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Sir, I think I'll let Capt. Marek know you're here.  ::goes to the RR door and rings the bell::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: They are still in the early stages concerning warp travel, probably about 40 years so everything is new and they delight in seeing new places...meeting new people.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::diverts his attention back to the traffic control screen ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Of course. Please go trough the last intelligence reports over the Romulan. See if you can find something that shed some more light on the issue.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the bell::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CNS: Ah, the wonder years.....  There was a time when I thought it would be so much fun to go back to those days

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: wonders if he's going to be assigned as a traffic officer or assigned to the attached starship ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
XO: They have been at peace for a hundred years, so this violence is unreal to them.

CTO_Horn says:
SC: I will make a few other inquiries as well.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CNS: Then surely, they must be utterly mortified by this.....

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::wonders if things are really getting hot and heavy in the discussions in there, senses a bit of tension::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Please do.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Yes, very much so.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::to the door:: Come in. ::signals the CTO to remain for a while::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: maybe he'd do well by meeting with these Secdari-whatevers...  he's lost his sense of wonder at the galaxy a long time ago ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::opens the door on the beckon:: SC: Captain, our new XO, Cmdr. Scott Mitchell, and a Cadet James Ferrone are here to check in with you, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks over to the Cadet and catches his glance:: Cadet: you might want to come over here

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: pops along to the XO ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::stands up:: CEO: Let them in, Commander. :: tugs his uniform and goes to receive the new officers::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::steps into the Ready Room after being announced and comes to attention:: SC: Captain, reporting as ordered, Sir

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
FCO: If you wish, Cadet, I would be happy o introduce you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Yes, sir. XO/FCO: Commander, cadet...?

CTO_Horn says:
::Stands::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Commander Mitchell, nice to meet you. ;;makes the Vulcan Salute::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::stands slightly behind the XO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::stands next to the CTO::

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: Start a tachyon scan of the sector

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notes the salute and raises hand in kind:: SC: Live long, and prosper Captain

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::grins at the counselor::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::whispers:: CTO: Cns. Rand and I have briefed the new XO on our situation.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods and returns his grin::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Live long and prosper. I offer you my sincere apologies for this so informal receiving, but we are in the middle of a ... situation. I assume you have been briefed on the matter.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I assume you've read my bio, sir, and I can assure you, Vulcan Medical has cleared me for active duty

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<TO>CO: Aye sir, initiating a tachyon scan

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns to the CTO: XO: This is our Chief Tactical Officer, Commander Horn.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Yes, the Chief Engineer and your Counselor have been briefing me since I arrived in Operations

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Welcome aboard sir.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Pleased to meet you..... I look forward to working with you

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the FCO:: FCO: And I assume you are our new FCO, Cadet Ferrone, right ::gives the Vulcan Salute::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: Aye, sir.  ::does the best Vulcan salute he can muster::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Live Long and Prosper.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::can't help smiling as the cadet struggles to get the fingers right::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: stops for a second, not sure what to respond with ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::whispers:: CTO: I sense there's something discovered in the autopsy that we didn't expect...?

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: I will, sir.  Thank you.  ::lowers his hand::

CTO_Horn says:
::Whispers:: CEO: I cant discuss it at this time.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO / FCO: Have you already been to your quarters? I guess you will need to freshen up before begin your assignments here. And due to the circumstances, I am afraid that the sooner you start, the better.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::returns her attention to the sensor readings trying to find something::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
::defers to the XO's response::

CTO_Horn says:
SC: This would be a good time to breif our new XO on the development of our investigation.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::whispers:: CTO: Aye. Later, or is it that sensitive?

CTO_Horn says:
::Gives the CEO a grave look::

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: No Sir, they've acutally not been assigned yet, have they?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::whispers:: CTO: I see. That bad.

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
<TO>: All scans negatives sir, there is no cloaked ship we can detect in the system

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::watches the data scroll across the screen::

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
TO: Alright, keep scanning a add an antiproton beam to augment your chances

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I was told my gear would be delivered to where ever I was assigned, but you know how that works.... ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Would you need me anymore, sirs?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::goes through his PADDs:: XO: Well, according to this, they are assigned. I will see that someone escorts you to your quarters. Later on, we will have a proper meeting. Also, it will be necessary to introduce you to Captain Yo'Ghi, the Scorpius CO.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Please carry on, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: That would be fine  - I'm about as ready as I'll be, and maybe they'll get my gear to my quarters in the mean time?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Aye, sir. ::exits the RR and goes to the engineering station::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: some relaxation in his quarters may do some good since he spent quite a while in the runabout with the commander ::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I hope you are ready to jump in feet first.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Absolutely, I've been away too long as it is

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CTO: Very well. Commander Mitchell, please take a seat. FCO: Cadet, proceed to your quarters and then report back to Operations for duty assignment

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks for an open seat and complies::

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
SC: Aye, sir.  Thank you!  :: turns smartly and heads back out into Ops ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CEO: I get the impression that there something intense being discussed in there. ::speaks softly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: ::softly:: I get more than an impression. Cmdr. Horn gave me a look that says that something is going on that is bad, but he can't tell me... at least not yet.

FCO_Cdt_Ferrone says:
:: gets on the turbolift and waits until the doors shut ::  Computer:  Where are my quarters located?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::waits the RR doors to close:: CTO/XO: Well, now the not so nice news. Commander Horn, please tell Mr. Mitchell of your recent findings.

CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: CEO: It fits and perhaps explains a lot.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We have trouble coming.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The assassin as you know committed suicide.

CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Captain, do you wish to continue preventing ships movements while you investigate the incident? I guess some will start complaining soon

CTO_Horn says:
XO: He was able to avoid our station sensors as well.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We finally received the autopsy report. ::Hands the XO a padd::.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: No. It will be worthless for the time being. Let them leave after a complete inspection.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Our assassin was not Secondan, but a Romulan.

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: mutters to self....:: CTO: That is NOT good........

SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CO*: Our new XO has arrived.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: So that leaves two possibilities.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::pays full attention to the CTO's report, once again::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Either the peace process with the Romulans is a ploy and they are planning to double cross us, or............

CTO_Horn says:
XO: There is a Rebel group intent on destroying the peace process.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I would like to believe that this is a small faction and not the established goverment.
