Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 10805.16

The Game
"Ace of Spades"

Previously on DS-102:

The crew of DS-102 has returned from a covert mission in Romulan space with the aim of preventing or thwarting a Romulan takeover attempt of Federation Assets in the area of DS-102. It is felt by Starfleet Intelligence that the action is most likely to come in the form of a direct attempt to take over Deep Space 102. A personnel life signs scan has been ordered by senior officers and is about to be initiated on the station. Hopefully, it will sort out Romulans from everyone else...

CSO_Tango says:
::In main operations, preparing the sensors to scan for any signs of Romulans::
CNS_Rand says:
::in main operations, ready to help with the scan if needed::
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
:: at the tactical station, issuing orders to security teams and looking over sensor data ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::strolls over to the Tactical Station to see how the Chief is coming along with the scans::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the Main Operations and goes over the center console::
CNS_Rand says:
::watches as the scans begin::
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: Any experience tracking down rogue Romulans sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: How we looking Lieutenant? Anything showing?
CNS_Rand says:
CSO: Not really, but we were given some parameters to work with. ::moves over to the CSO's console and pulls up the information that was shared for the search::  See if that helps.
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
XO: I have nothing yet on my scope, but I've assigned extra teams on patrol, not enough to get noticed but this way I have a team nearby every important sector of the station
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: Actually it's a bit exciting for me, first assignment and all sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Hopefully, they are being discreet in their scans. We don't want to raise any suspicions.
CSO_Tango says:
::Watches as the scan progresses::
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  I'll bet it is, this will be one that you never forget.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks over to Science Station and tries to listen in on that conversation::
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: I truly doubt I will.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Once the operatives are identified, we need not only to monitor them, but to give them the false sensation that we do not know their identities, in order to let us know the whole plan
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles::  CSO: What else do we need to set up before beginning the sensor sweep.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Exactly what I'm thinking too
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: I think with the data you gave me we are ready. ::Begins the scan::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: And I was thinking of a counterintelligence operations, how about sending some false Federation deserters to contact them? Would that be too obvious?
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
XO: Maybe we could have some of them patrol dressed as civilians?
CSO_Tango says:
XO: Commencing scan sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I thought our guests were seeking asylum with us Sir?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: If they are, I suppose it would show us if they really are or if it's just another Romulan plot within a plot within a plot....
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: That would help Chief, a good idea there....
CSO_Tango says:
XO: Nothing unusual in the scans yet sir. Just the Romulans we expected to find.
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  Hopefully this will pick up any disguised Romulans and give us a way to trace them.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Speak up if you catch a whisper of anything even remotely out of normal
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Plots are to the Romulans like the bones are to the dogs... Anyway, first things first. Let's wait for the scan results.
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
SC/XO: Also, I do not know all the information you have sir but are we certain that we are looking for Romulans? They have been known to hire assassins to hide their own involvement
CSO_Tango says:
XO: Aye Sir.
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: Let's keep our eyes peeled sir.
CNS_Rand says:
::watches the scan results:: CSO: Agreed.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Anything out of the ordinary.... Romulan or otherwise
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO:  That's a possibility, Lt. However, let's see the scan results first. If nothing appears, then I think we should focus our actions in that way.
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: I don't suppose you sense anything unusual sir?
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
SC: The only Romulans we have on sensors are the one you brought back; we kind of expect those to show, but no one else
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ::frowns:: Acknowledged. ::hits the console with his right fist, just like the legendary Capt. Kirk would do, then addresses to the crew::
CNS_Rand says:
::shakes her head:: CSO:  Nothing unexpected. I'm mainly picking up the increased stress levels here in Operations.
CSO_Tango says:
::Overlooks the scan results::
CSO_Tango says:
CSO: Nothing sir.
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  Nothing, I guess this would have been too easy.
CSO_Tango says:
XO: Negative readings on the scan sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well, filter the scan results and compare it to the Station logs. Let's find out who arrived to the Station during the last 6 months.
CNS_Rand says:
SC:  Could we have returned before their arrival?
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
SC: The last six months sir?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CNS: I think it is time for another talk with our "guest.”
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Yes, Lieutenant.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A procession of Bajoran Vedeks marches solemnly through the promenade to a prayer ceremony....
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::opens a secured comm with the Admiral:: *Admiral*: I got the results from the bioscan. No Romulan signs apart from our guests, sir.
Host Gerry says:
<ADM_Taylor> *SC*:  Thank you, Captain. Keep me informed of your progress. Taylor out.
CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: SC: Understood, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Sir, may I ask you if you already sent those false reports?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Spekonian trade vessel docks at pylon 4...
Host Gerry says:
<ADM_Taylor> *SC*:  I have indeed Mister Marek. Taylor out.
CSO_Tango says:
::Pulls a roster of all persons aboard the station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Thanks sir. I will keep you a
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<edit> *Admiral*: Thanks sir. I will keep you updated. Marek out.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Scorpius departs on its appointed patrol of the sector...
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Scorpius develops two sensor ghosts as before...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Please, see to assign two members of your Department exclusively to coordinate actions between the USS Scorpius and the Station.
CSO_Tango says:
Computer: Please compile a list of all life signs aboard the station and cross reference against the authorized roster for any discrepancies.
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
SC: Yes sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
<AFCO> SC: A Spekonian vessel docked at pylon 4. It is trade vessel.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Acknowledged.
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  Perhaps take that comparison back over the past 6 months
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A new shop opens on the promenade selling Bajoran religious goods...
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: Excellent idea sir. It will take a few minutes. We can assume if there are more lifesign then authorized personnel that we have something amiss sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Sir, I think I'd like to accompany a security detail to Pylon 4, before anyone disembarks
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  Agreed
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Proceed.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Call it a "hunch" Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Do not get confused by my pointy ears, Commander. I believe in "hunches" as you know them... ::grins::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: says over his shoulder:: SC: And we might have somebody take a closer look at a "Bajoran religious goods" shop suddenly opening here......  Sir....
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Cardassian Entourage descends on the promenade to a clothing store...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: But do that with extreme care, Commander. I do not want any incident with the Bajoran right now.
CSO_Tango says:
Self: If you were a Romulan trying to hide here where would you go?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Cardassian tailor sells clothing to the other Cardassians in the shop...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Very well. Suggestions anyone?? ::taps his console::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Aye Sir ::as the turbolift doors close behind him::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Computer: Docking pylon 4
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Scorpius cannot seem to shake the sensor ghosts...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Any news from the Scorpius, Lieutenant.
CNS_Rand says:
SC:  Perhaps keep the sensor sweep running in the docking bay for those disembarking the arriving ships.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Of course. That would be a clever idea. CTO/CSO: Proceed that way.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Ytarian trader departs Pylon 3 and a Bolian tourist vessel replaces it over the next few minutes...
CTO_Lt_Lafayette says:
SC: They started patrol they are not due to report for a few more hours
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Acknowledged. Let me know as soon as they do.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::arrives to Docking Pylon 4 and exits turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::approaches the dock master:: Ensign, report, what do we have here today?
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: This may prove a more daunting task than I first thought sir.
CSO_Tango says:
CNS/XO: Look at this. There are twelve more lifesigns then are suppose to be on board.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
<Dock Master> XO: No Sir, nothing unusual here. Everything and everyone aboard checks out okay. I've linked my scans to Main Ops Tactical..... There's simply nothing here.....
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::hairs on back of neck continue to prickle::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
DM: Okay Ensign, stay sharp then.....
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  Now, how do we track them?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::Heads for Docking Pylon 3 via the fastest shortcut he knows::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Any news from that cross reference analysis?
CSO_Tango says:
CNS: Perhaps we could cross reference specific species and see which has more and move from there sir.
CNS_Rand says:
CSO:  That might work.
