Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript - 10806.06

The Game
"New Game Pieces"

Previously on DS102:

Science had determined that 11 Vulcans and 1 human female were unauthorized to be on the station against the station’s roster. Tactical now has them under covert surveillance.

Activity for docking and departing remains a constant flow, with nothing really standing out.
A new crew member arrived, with another still on the way...

Will they uncover the hidden Romulan element? Or will this rogue element escape?

Let's find out.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A shuttlecraft is approaching the station at low warp
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Sitting in the transport, staring out the portal at the station::
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
:: at the tactical station in ops ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot> COM: DS-102: Deep Space One Oh Two, this is the Starfleet Transport Adam James requesting docking clearance.
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::continuing to run the scans::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Standing in Operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot> CTO: We're on approach, Commander.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::accelerates his pace back to Main Operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@Transport Pilot: Thank you, Lieutenant. ::Stands and pulls her duffle from the overhead locker::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the TL and directs it to Main Operations while reading a PADD::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives to Main Operations and heads directly to the center chair::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot> COM: DS-102: Deep Space One oh two, this is the Starfleet Transport Adam James requesting docking clearance. ::Wonders if the Comm is working. Stabs a few buttons on the console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices that Commander Turok is there::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Commander Turok, welcome aboard. I apologize for not being there when you arrive. Urgent matters needed my attention.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot> CTO: Strange, no one seems to be answering our hail.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Quite understandable sir.
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
COM: Shuttle: Deep Space 102 Operations, incoming shuttle, please stand by for instructions
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@Transport Pilot: Oh? That is a bit odd.... ::Moves to the cockpit area of the transport and sits down at one of the stations::
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
COM: Shuttle: This is DS 102 Operations. You have clearance for Docking Port 1. Transfer to automatic when needed. Welcome to the Station.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot>  ::Thinks: Well it's about time!:: CTO: There they are. COM: DS102: Acknowledged, standing by.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: I hope you find the medical installations satisfactory. We have the latest medical technology aboard.
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
COM: Shuttle: Follow beacon toward shuttle bay 2, half impulse maximum, we are having a lot of ships going today
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@<Transport Pilot> COM: DS102: Acknowledged and thank you. CTO:  Proceeding to shuttle bay 2. ::Taps the console changing course::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::approaches the Chief Science Officer:: Ensign, any luck with that code yet?
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
SC/XO: The shuttle carrying our new CTO is landing in shuttle bay 2 in a few moments
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: I am quite looking forward to seeing them sir, although I hope to keep the use of them to a minimum.
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
XO: Not yet Sir. Sorry
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
@::Moves back to the rear of the passenger cabin and sits down as she waits to dock::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/TO/CSO: Any progress on the communications decryption?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Transport Pilot> ::Maneuvers into shuttle bay two and sets the Adam James down on the flight deck. Powers down the systems:: CTO: We have arrived, Sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Transport Pilot: Thank you for a smooth ride, Lieutenant. Enjoy your time on the station. ::Slings her duffle over her shoulder and walks out of the transport as the door opens::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The CTO disembarks and walks into Shuttle Bay 2
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Not yet Captain. I'm thinking we need a really good cryptologist. Any suggestions?
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
SC: Teams are working on it
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Walks out shuttle bay two then stops just outside the airlock to check the computer map. Presses her finger against the glass panel and traces her path to Main Operations::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Any member with such skill in our Staff or the Scorpius staff?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods her head then turns and heads for the nearest turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Not off the top of my head, Sir. I was hoping our Tac or Science people could get a handle on this, but apparently, it's one for the specialists.... and unfortunately, I think the best of them are back at Starfleet Headquarters at the moment
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Computer: Main Operations. ::Drops the duffle on the turbolift floor and leans against the wall as she ascends::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CTO*: Ops to Commander Ryan......
CNS_Rand says:
::drops the PADD she is looking at and leaves her office to return to Operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Is somewhat surprised to get a comm when she hasn't even reported in yet. Taps her combadge:: *XO*: This is Commander Ryan, go ahead.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Ok. I think we should take this to a higher level. I think we should see to change the pattern of our surveillance. Let's make the CSO prepare a file with Level 10 access and hand it to me.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Coordinate with Tactical. I think we should bug their quarters.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CTO*: Commander... Sorry you weren't met on your arrival. We’re in the middle of a situation. Hope you are heading here to Station Ops, as I think we could use your help... Time for the bosun’s whistles and flurries once we get our little situation under control
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Captain, first, since they're not officially here, we're going to need to find out what quarters they're staying in before we can bug anything
CNS_Rand says:
::enters the nearest lift and requests Operations, then leans back against the rear of the lift to wait::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Are these not Federation citizens? Do we have the authority and right to plant listening devices in their quarters?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*XO*: I am enroute to Main Operations as we speak. Will be there momentarily. Ryan, out. ::Thinks: Use my help? Situation?::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, that a simply logical deduction. We have undercover personnel following them, right? At some point they will have to go to some quarters... ergo... ::raises an eyebrow::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: ::turns back to the Captain:: and hopefully, our new Tac Chief has some knowledge with codes of this type
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: That could be the simplest way. However, I do not want to fully discard a more "aggressive" approach on our surveillance.
CNS_Rand says:
::steps off the lift and walks to main Operations, takes a position near the back near Engineering consoles::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CTO*:  We'll have to explain on the fly... seems your orders were rushed and somebody forgot to let us know you were coming.... but....  we've got a cipher that's giving us figs and hopefully, you have some expertise with ciphers????
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Agreed, but until then, our people are stuck following them.....
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: It is a complicate situation, Commander. Desperate times, desperate measures. And do not worry, we have clearance from Admiralty.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift as the doors slide open revealing Main Operations. Is a bit surprised that she was allowed access to Main Operations so easily. Makes a mental note to change that. Walks into Main Operations and finds the nearest Command Officer::  XO: Ciphers, Commander? ::Hopes she has the right person::  XO: Commander Ryan, Sir.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
SC: Many of the universes worst situations started out of desperate times and best intentions sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: ::raises an eyebrow: I see your point. But I am aware of that also, Commander. Trust me on this.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Welcome Commander... time for pleasantries later… just a bit busy here... we cleared a path for you to get here without much ado.... Can you take a look at this? ::waves her over to the console to look over the Science Station monitor and at the current problem::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns to the XO and the CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: We think it's some new cipher code, possibly Romulan, possibly a new hybrid of some sort... definitely difficult to unravel..
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Commander Ryan, I assume. ::nods and offers hand:: Sorry for the lack of protocol, but we are under a tight schedule here.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Shoves her duffle under a console then follows the XO to the Science Station. Looks down at the display:: XO: Interesting.... ::Voice trails off as she looks at the strange cipher::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
TO: I may be a bit out of my purview here, but has anyone run checks on the crew yet?
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
CMO: What kind of checks?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up from the display at the Vulcan Captain and takes his hand:: SC: Commander Ryan reporting for duty, Sir. Yes, I can see that everyone seems to be very busy.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
TO: To make sure we are all who we are supposed to be and no one is running around with the enemy.
CNS_Rand says:
::listens to the conversations going on throughout operations::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  THE CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER YIELDS HER SEAT TO THE NEWLY ARRIVING CHIEF TACTICAL OFFICER
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sits down at the Science console and taps the buttons. Begins running algorithms the cipher:: XO:/SC: I'm going to run a few algorithms this cipher and see what comes up. ::Continues tapping the buttons on the console::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::turns to the CNS:: CNS: Counselor, is decryption by any chance one of your many skills?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
TO: Any news from the surveillance team?
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
CMO: I think internal sensors are good enough for our intent, we already located many suspects
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: If so, please give the CTO a hand with the decryption.
CNS_Rand says:
SC:  Not exactly, but I'll do what I can.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches as the computer does it's thing:: XO:/SC: If I might ask, where did you get this from?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Please do, Counselor, ::nods in acknowledgement::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::watches as the Tac Chief works the console::
CNS_Rand says:
::moves over to where the CTO is working and studies the code over her shoulder::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
TO: Interesting, but who controls the sensors.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the display screen, then looks to her right:: CNS: Commander Ryan, new Tac Chief. ::Offers her hand to the CNS::
CNS_Rand says:
::shakes the CTO's hand:: CTO: Commander Rand, but you can call me Kalla. Welcome aboard.
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
CMO: For now I do, you want the job?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CNS: Nice to meet you, Commander. I hope I won't need your services any time soon! ::Smiles then turns her attention back to the display::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
TO: Oh no, you are doing just fine, but I wonder if anyone would have a chance to alter the sensors to show false readings.
CNS_Rand says:
::chuckles softly:: CTO: I don't think you have to worry about that.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::The computer beeps:: SC:/XO: I believe we have something here... Sirs. It seems to be a Romulan encryption, but it's going to be difficult to break.
CNS_Rand says:
::studies the information on the screen trying to see some pattern or if she recognizes anything::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::backs a bit out of the way and looks over to the Lt. LaRochelle and the Counselor::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: We are all ears... ::he regrets having said that::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::hearing the Captain, rolls his eyes yet again - Vulcan humor......  nobody gets it::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Well, again it's going to be difficult to break this encryption. All I can say for sure is that it is Romulan. May I inquire as to where you got this from?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
TO: what's the latest reports on the location of the twelve?
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
XO: Still roaming, apparently aimlessly
TO_Lt_LaRochelle says:
CMO: Could be, would mean they had access to very highly restricted areas
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ::frowns:: Surveillance recording from certain suspects. Are you a 100 percent that is Romulan encryption?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Yes, Sir. I have a few tricks in my cargo crates that I might be able to use on this. Have my cargo crates arrived yet?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
TO: Interesting theory.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Please see that those cargo crates are promptly delivered to the Chief’s new quarters.
CNS_Rand says:
CTO: Is there anything that I can do to help?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: ::moves to the console and input his clearance codes:: All the information you need is contained in this file. As you will notice, you are not allowed to comment this with any member of the crew outside the senior Staff.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CNS: Yes, but I need to get into my cargo crates. All the notes I need are in there. Is there a science lab we can use?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I’ll see to the Chief’s crates personally Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I asked you if you were sure about the Romulan encryption, because this is communication between a human female and several Vulcan males aboard the Station. We believe they are planning terrorist actions aboard the Station.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: SC: Are you sure these Vulcans aren't Romulans? Has anyone scanned them? How many are there?
CNS_Rand says:
CTO: I believe there are a couple that aren't in use at the moment and if not, I'm sure we can find something equally as appropriate.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Science and Tactical performed the scans over the bio-signatures of these people. No Romulan DNA traces were found.
CNS_Rand says:
::checks the computer for an available lab::  CTO:  Lab A7 is available.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CNS: Great. I'm going to patch this console into one of the Science lab consoles. I think we can get more accomplished in a quiet place.
CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CTO:  Understandable. I'll see if I can locate your cargo crates, should I have them transported to the lab?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps the console encrypting the file and send the classified file to Science Lab A7::  CNS: Well, I only need crate number 3. Ask them to put the rest in my quarters... where ever those are.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::heads out of Ops to track down the crates and make sure they're delivered properly::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Stands and pulls her duffle from under the console where she shoved it earlier:: SC: Sir, Commander Rand and I will be in Science Lab A7 working on the decryption. I will keep you informed as to our progress.
CNS_Rand says:
::keys in to run a trace on Commander Ryan's belongings, then has crate 3 routed to the lab and the rest to Commander Ryan's quarters::  CTO: The quartermaster will have that information down there, but we'll get you a PADD with a map of the station as well as your quarters and codes you will need.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Please proceed.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::begins to feel a severe headache::
CNS_Rand says:
CTO: The crate you're wanting should be there by the time we get there.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Aye, Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::goes back to the center chair::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CNS: Thank you, Commander. Shall we head to Science Lab A7? ::Motions to the turbolift::
