=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10707.15- "Mixed Identities, part VII"=/\=

The Elara is in the middle of nowhere. They followed the trail that should have led to the missing officers but instead they found an empty piece of space.

But what an odd piece of space that repeats itself in a regular patter every few Km. Adding to that there are suspicious debris around that look more like someone's trash.

Meanwhile Pazoski's group was thrown into the brig but unexpectedly the door was left open by a piece of paper with an L letter.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: leaves the turbolift and walks out onto the bridge ::

Tokot says: 
::sitting opposite the CTO looking scared::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::sips the coffee that he got from the replicator and reads through a PADD::

@ACTION: Red lights are still blinking on all corridors of the facility, the Elara crew stranded there can hear running on upper and lower decks::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Raises from his seat, giving the Captain a courtesy nod:: CO: Captain.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Report!

Tokot says: 
::looks at the CTO and his coffee, not opening his mouth::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::thinks that staying here could be a really bad decision so pokes his head out of the cell and makes his way cautiously towards the lift, the others following close behind::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::puts the coffee on the table:: Tokot: Where is K'tor?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: We're arrived at the last known coordinates of the XO's whereabouts, no sign of them so far. I was just about to scan an anomaly we detected, my guess is that whatever that thing is, we'll find our crew there. ::Pauses to catch his breath:: With your permission, Captain? ::Gestures towards the viewscreen::

Tokot says: 
CTO: He... didn't say. I suspect....at his headquarters. But ... I was not told where... none of us is

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: browsing quickly through the sensor data ::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Proceed

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Tokot: Try again... Where is K'tor?!

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Feels a little hungry::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Sir, the pattern seems to be increasing speed, but it's still under 1 quarter impulse.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: CEO: Initiate a full spread tachyon scan, focus the sensor efforts on the anomaly itself.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: Reminds me of an elephant hiding in a bush whilst trying to sneak away un-noticed

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::reaches the lift and attempts to open the doors::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::begins a tachyon scan:: CO: Aye

Tokot says: 
CTO: You ... you have his ship don't you. It must be there

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Tokot: It? what it?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: Permission to send another probe at the anomaly direction, Captain? We might hit something solid there.

@ACTION: The doors to the lift open without much pressure. Pazoski finds another L note, this time it has the number -30, which he can find on a panel inside the lift along with the numbers from 5 to -32

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: By all means

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods, shifting his attention to his console as he prepares another probe::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::using his keen powers of deduction and skills gained through many years of active service, presses the button marked "-30"::

ACTION: The Elara's tachyons are spread throughout the region. They are all absorbed and reflected a few seconds later

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Gets some coffee and returns to her station::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Sir, the tachyons are being bounce back in the same odd pattern as the rest of space.

Tokot says: 
CTO: What you want, K'tor's headquarters'

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: nodding to the CEO ::   CSO: Did you manage to download the data from the Klingon vessels before they were destroyed?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: Probe ready, Captain.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Launch

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Tokot: K'tor is not on his ship, it's K`tor that I'm looking for.

@ACTION: Obediently the lift starts moving down

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Launches the probe, remotely navigating it towards the anomaly::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CO: I did! Although there was some packet degradation during transfer and I only have limited viable data.

Tokot says: 
CTO: But I know you got information from his ship, that’s how you disabled our ship. The coordinates to his headquarters are there

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::analyses the tachyon data::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: And you got everything from Ktors vessel?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Tokot: Where exactly?

ACTION: The probe is launched and a few minutes later it explodes in a shower of light as it hits the anomaly

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: We should really stop wasting the probes

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CO: Sir, incoming communication.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: Probe was destroyed, same as the last one. ::Nods at the direction of the CEO::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: Lets have it

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Nods and puts it on the speaker::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::begins to wonder why this L person would be helping them and whether or not they are just being lead into a further trap, tells everyone to be ready when the doors open::

ACTION: A female voice is heard over the commotion on the bridge "stop poking arround my space or you will regret it

@ACTION: Pazoski's lift opens onto a hangar where many ships are being prepared for launch. Female pilots are all around, as well as maintenance crews

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Voice: Stop, trying to hide, and let’s talk properly

Tokot says: 
CTO: I don't know, in the same place you found the codes to our ships

ACTION: Com is cut

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: Can you disrupt the protection field they have?

@ACTION:  a hooded figures signals the Starflet officers to follow her

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CO: We've lost the connection, shall I try to tra....I'll try. ::Runs an analysis of the field::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Do you still have control of Ktors ship?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::stands and motions for the guards to watch the kid before walking out to the corridor:: *CSO*: Sollo to Lyta.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: No Sir, the command codes have changed

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::gives his team the "ok" nod and follows the figure silently::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Where is it now?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: It was destroyed Sir, hence our need to beam out some of the Klingons

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CSO*: Lyta... respond.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Decides to try and break the field with a positron beam:: *Sollo*: I've got a bad feeling about this.

@ACTION: The group is taken to a small ship and the hooded figure removes her hood

Loree says: 
@XO: Strap on, this will be bumpy. But before I start I need something from you

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CSO*: I don't have time for your gut feelings Ensign, do you have access to the abandoned ship's records?

Loree says: 
@XO: I need to know that if I get you to your ship you can let me live as a Federation citizen

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
*CTO*: Bits and pieces.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::goes back to analysing the data and remembers why he never became a science officer::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: I cannot guarantee you citizenship, but I will do everything in my power to plead your case.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Hits the blinking button and unleashes doom on the field::

ACTION: Out of the Elara comes an invisible line of positrons, which hits the anomaly directly. A dance of lights comes from it

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CSO*: Apparently the location of K'tor's HQ is in the same records as the command codes, we need to get a team onto that ship and try to manually retrieve those records.

FCO Lost says: 
CO: We have another transmission

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Put it through

Loree says: 
@::the young girl gulps:: XO: If not you will have to take care of me ::begins flight procedures::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Self: Pretty.

ACTION: Again, the same voice, "You were warned". The com is immediately cut again

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: rolls his eyes ::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::sits himself down close to the girl and straps himself in:: Loree: I need to contact the federation ship out there to let them know we are friendly.

ACTION: Suddenly the viewscreen is invaded with a white light. Obviously, this anomaly is an immense station, just a few Km away from the Elara's present position

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CTO* You better get yourself up here, and quick

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CO: A group of light fighters have just materialised around the anomaly, I've got a bad feeling about this.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
*CO*: On my way boss. ::runs to the lift::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Self: Great. I'm going to die.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: Hail for backup, Captain?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
*CTO*: I'll give it a shot, should be able to find them. ::Searches the database for anything resembling command codes::

Loree says: 
@XO: I'm afraid we don’t have a communications array

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Last time I checked, the nearest backup was too far away to be any use

@ACTION: The vessels start being deployed like bees out of a hive. Loree's ship just follows the fighters

ACTION: The fighters get into positions around the Elara with weapons charged but not firing yet. Meanwhile more are being deployed

Loree says: 
@::manoeuvres the ship with the rest and the Elara suddenly comes into view. She plots a course to the ships shuttlebay::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Hold position

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
Self: Almighty father in the heavens...preserve my soul alive

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::arrives on the bridge and heads for his station::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: just in time, don't start shooting yet

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::sighs:: Self: They don't know the power of the dark side.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: If we are going to sit here and fight, I suggest we deploy all of our auxiliary crafts to provide more targets for them, might buy us some time while we attempt to find some sort of a weakness in the station.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: We can't get in unless I can somehow send a signal to the Elara, they are likely to fire on us unless we can stand out somehow... ::accesses a console and brings up the ships technical schematics::

ACTION: All the arriving ships are in an orderly position, except for one

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: If needed could you tractor Ktors ship into this anomaly?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: You're kidding me, can't I just fire off a little shot? ::grins::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CO: You want to crash it against the station, Captain?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Perhaps I should get to engineering. If all hell breaks out I may need to organise repairs

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::looks at his readings:: CO: Err... Boss... one of those ships is on a collision course with us.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Not so quick.. beam over to Ktors ship and prepare its warp core breach

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
All: YES! I've found it!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: If it comes to that... yes

Loree says: 
@XO: So ..... without actually telling them how do we let them know to open the door for us?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: turns to the CSO ::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: found what?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CO: I've got the location of K'Tor's base!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: CO: Standing by.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::taps on the console and configures the deflector array to emit a series of graviton pulses, spelling out the words "Away Team" in Morse code::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: Great, if we survive this I'll be sure to pay him a visit

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CO: Ktors ship...aye Sir. ::heads off the bridge but stops at the turbolift doors:: CO: Just keep a transporter lock on me this time, I may not be able to rescue myself twice in one day.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: We hope that someone is paying attention ::gives her a wink::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: This time, leave the rescuing to us

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: I think I can do better than that boss... give me a minute,

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Starts to think about the legality of subspace weapons when faced with overwhelming odds and sighs::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Keep their shuttles in there bays

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::heads to transporter room 1::

Loree says: 
@XO: Smart

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::steps onto the transport panel in TR1 and with tool kit in hand orders the transporter chief to energise::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::frowns at the flashing light on his console as his fingers fly over it::

#ACTION: The CEO materializes on the bridge of KTor's ship

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: Cap... ::pauses as he realises something:: ...tain... I'm picking up graviton pulses, looks like someone's using them to transmit Morse code.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Morse?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: Why are you helping us anyway?  Don't you have everything you need back there?

FCO Lost says: 
CO: sir, that woman person is saying its our last chance to get away

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
# ::arrives on the Klingon vessel:: Self: Stupid transporter chief, I said Engineering! ::checks a panel:: Self: Just as I thought. Command codes...I'll have to convince the computer a different way. ::heads to engineering::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: Exactly Boss... let me just try to decipher it.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Tell her thanks, we will be on our way shortly

Loree says: 
@XO: Almost everything, ::looks at OPS, her biological mother:: XO: I think I don’t want to be a pirate like my mo....like Serena

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Self: A W A Y....................... T E A M............. CO: BOSS! It's the XO!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Send this back "you call this an armada?"

#ACTION: K'Tor's ship is a ghost ship in essence. All the corridors and rooms are empty, odd squeaks are heard here and there

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::as he walks to engineering he tries not to focus on the emptiness:: Aloud: Oooh...squeaky!

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::gets to engineering, turns on the lights and heads for a panel next to the warp core::

#ACTION: The CEO sees a furry pink thing at a corner. Part of the squeaking comes from it

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::finishes tapping away at his console and sends the message back to the XO the same way he got it::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::smiles a little smile:: Loree: That's a good enough reason.

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
CTO: I'm getting strange power fluctuations from the station, which indicates they may be powering up weapons systems. I recommend evasive action of some kind.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
# Aloud: What the? Klingons use Barbies? ::takes out a phaser and goes to investigate what it is::

#ACTION: It’s a cute little tribble. The room near where it is full of them

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::mutters under his breath while watching the sensor readouts:: Self: You have got to be kidding me...

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::sees its a tribble:: Aloud: Ah..stupid tribble...well they'll all be going to little pink tribble heaven when I blow this ship to smithereens! ::pauses:: I'm hungry.

Loree says: 
@XO: I think mom is using her toy. Your ship has to leave

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CSO: Don't tell me Ensign... tell him! ::points at Lost::

@ACTION: Loree's ship arrives near the Elara's shuttle bay and just waits there

FCO Lost says: 
::feels his ears heat::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::grabs a tribble and considers using it as an electrical conducer but decides against killing the little candy floss::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::reconfigures the deflector to emit the following message - "I couldn’t find any Arkonnians, we need to leave now!"::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
FCO: You heard me, those things have pretty big weapons I feel like seeing my next birthday.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: I take it this toy is not a good thing?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#::starts cross wiring things to override the warp core safety commands::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: let the ship sending the Morse through

Loree says: 
@XO: It’s a subspace disruptor of some kind. It rips through any sort of material. It will use all the power of the station but she has been looking for an excuse to try it

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: On it Boss! ::allows the XO's vessel to enter::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CEO* Are you ready?

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Self: Meep. All: Sensors are indicating they've fully charged their weapons.

Loree says: 
@::receives the shield frequency and adjusts hers accordingly:: XO: Here we go ::enters the Elara's shuttlebay::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#*CO*: Stand by Sir ::noise of tribbles can be heard over comm as he closes his tool box making sure there are none inside it::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::raises shields once the small vessel has entered::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Remodulate shield frequencies and bolster the forward emitters

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Loree: Sometimes I wonder why we bother having the Kitomer Accords. ::Places a hand on her shoulder before exiting the vessel in a hurry::

Loree says: 
XO: What accords? And I am going with you ::follows::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CO: Already on it boss. ::carries out the instruction::

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
::Looks at the blinking lights on her console:: Self: Oh hey! A new subspace anomaly, wonder if it has anything to do with huge weapons of doom...

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#*CO*: Ready when you are Sir. There are tribbles over here though. I don't suppose you want to save some? ::crosses his fingers and prays that he doesn't have to bring some back::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::rushes over to a console and access the comm system:: *CO*: Pazoski to Timrok, Sir, that station has subspace weapons, we need to leave right now!

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: deliver our present

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*CEO* Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. that will be one to beam back to the Elara

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
Self: I want some tribbles. ::frowns::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*XO* Understood

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: prepare to go to warp on my mark

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods, adjusting the tractor beam:: CO: Ready.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Bring JoBrel back

ACTION: The subspace anomaly continues to increase. Somehow the station is immune to it but the rest of space is not

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
#*CO*: Standing by. ::steps clear of any candy floss Barbie pink skittle tribbles::

FCO Lost says: 
::nods at the CO::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
::turns to Loree:: Loree: I don't know about you, but I could really do with something to eat.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CIV: Go

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::hits what he thinks is the button to beam the CEO back::

Loree says: 
XO: What? Aren't we going to the bridge?

ACTION: CEO materializes in TR1 again

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::checks for tribbles::

ACTION: Beside him is a cute little pink thing that got stuck to his foot

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Temporarily allocates energy to the tractor control, affectively causing the tractor beam to slingshot K'tor's ship against the station at an alarming velocity::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::stomps on the tribble really hard:: Self: Oops

CO Capt Timrok says: 
FCO: Mark

ACTION: The anomaly starts interfering with the Elara's shields. Meanwhile the fighters start dispersing

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
*CEO*: Did you bring me back a tribble?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Self: Iain.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CSO*: Only if I get to see that tattoo again

ACTION: The Elara goes to warp just as the subspace anomaly engulfs Ktor's ship and all space lights up

CSO Ens Lyta says: 
*CEO*: Only if it's still alive.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
*CSO*: Depends which tattoo we're talking about
