USS Sharikahr Mission #377
Neutrino night continues without hinder. The political situation only seems to intensify. And yet, that doesn't seem to be the least of their problems. Rather, it only seems to be the beginning... now, they match firepower with a starship turned rogue. And each side blames the other.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::in the TL going back to her office::
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::On the San Sebastian in her temporary quarters sitting at the computer trying to sift through information to assist in the "investigation" while her husband the OPS officer is sleeping and recovering in the bedroom.::

Scene: The situation on the outside appears almost calm. Internally, however, it ranges from perfectly calm to absolute panic. The panic is highest aboard San Sebastian.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#:: Checks the status of the communications network and tries again to hail his executive officer ::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Putting down her now cold tea, she pulls her jacket tighter and walks back out into the filtered sunlight::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::exits the TL and runs straight into OPS::
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
::Puts on the breaks.:: XO: I was on my way to see you.
CSO_LtCmd_So'tsoh says:
$ :: Crossing the compound, she and her cousin head back for the communication center.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: XO: Commander?

@Info: Security continues to keep sickbay aboard San Sebastian isolated while they question the med staff in regards the raid.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Entering, they seek out the head technician.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
OPS: Follow me back to my office. I believe you mentioned some sort of proof to back your accusations against McKay.
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
::Turns to follow the XO.:: XO: Yes ma'am!
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ Morgan:  Have you located anything further on the disruption of communications.  As you had believed, there was nothing wrong through the relay system.
Host JamesH says:
$<Morgan> ::looks up from reading something, puts down his coffee cup, and shrugs:: CSO: It's working now, whatever it was.
Teyol says:
$ :: Quietly moves around the room, simply watching and listening::
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@*XO*: Haynes-Cartwright to Cmdr Arinoch.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ Morgan:  That is good for now, but not if it happens again.  I would appreciate it if you could keep me informed should you learn of anything.
Host JamesH says:
$<Morgan> ::tilts his head a little:: CSO: Sure thing. Name?
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@::Crosses the San Sebastian's sickbay, checking in with various members of the staff::

Info: Outside the viewports of the opportunity, particularly on her starboard side, the captain's yacht can be seen against the backdrop of space.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ Morgan: Lieutenant Commander So'tsoh of the Sharikahr.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::hears the COM as she steps in:: OPS: Sit down and I'll be with you in a second. COM: CO: Captain, what can I do for you?
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
::Takes a seat, getting a bit annoyed.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: XO: Commander.  I was checking in if all was well.
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@Nurse: Finish with those carts; I need to get a report to the Sharikahr, Stat.
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::After not getting a response from the XO over the Comm.:: Computer: Locate XO Arinoch.
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@<Computer>CNS: XO Arinoch is in the Opportunity II
Teyol says:
$ :: Returns to stand by his cousin, a slight motion signaling to her that everything appears to be normal.::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: With a nod of thanks, heads back outside and back to her base of operations where communications would be easier during the neutrino night.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
COM: CO: All is well here sir; I was just about to meet with the OPS officer I'm working with. He has been waiting to speak with me about the recovery mission.
Teyol says:
$ :: As they arrive, he moves to the shuttle to prepare for flight.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: XO: I will stand by and await further word.

$ACTION: As Teyol draws nearer the shuttle, a phaser beam lances out from off to his right, slamming into his shoulder.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Stepping into the makeshift lab, she activates the comm. unit.::  *CO*:  Commander So'tsoh to Captain Savar, come in please.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: CSO: Commander So’tsoh.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
COM: CO: I also spoke with McKay. He would like a proposal detailing how many ships and personnel we will need.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: XO: Very well.  I will meet with him personally.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ COMM: CO:  As noted, communications are back up.  I am ready to complete the report I began earlier on what we discovered, or in this case did not discover.  Teyol and I also tried to discover what might have happened to the communication connection from the planet.  We could find nothing wrong equipment wise.
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@::Nods as she receives the PADD from her nurse, and sits at her desk:: COM: Opportunity: XO: Commander Arinoch? This is Doctor Raelm. I have the status report you asked for.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::cuts the transmission and turns to OPS and opens her mouth only to get cut off by the COM beeping again::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: CSO: A curious oddity
Teyol says:
$ :: The sound of a phaser activating catches his hearing and he stops suddenly, shifting to the left.  Pain radiates through his shoulder as he dives for covering.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
COM: Raelm: Thank you Doctor. What did you find?
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ COMM: Indeed, and disturbing.  We... :: hearing phaser fire, she reaches for her weapon and heads for the entrance.::

$ACTION: Two more shots ring out, narrowly missing where Teyol used to be. A voice yells out, "Come out and fight, terrorist!"

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: A quick glance out the door shows her where Teyol is and she takes a deep breath as she flattens against the inside wall.::
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
COM: Opportunity: Arinoch: The theft seems to have been of whatever was available. Twelve crates of burn treatment supplies, six cases of vaccine, a crate of backup med kits, and an assortment of hypo sprays, tricorders, and osteo- and dermal-regenerators were pulls off nearby trays and drawers. Three scanning units were also torn off the bulkheads.
Teyol says:
$ :: Hearing the voice off to his right, he moves slowly closer to the shuttle, Staying within what concealment the area possess.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: I am sorry. Once I finish with the Doctor, we will discuss your findings.

$ACTION: Another shot rings out, missing Teyol's head by 3 inches at most.

OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
XO: Take your time, Medical supplies are obviously more important than recovering our ship. ::Smiles.::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Calls out::  Put your weapon down.  There are no terrorist here.  We are Federation officers and will act accordingly to protect ourselves.
Teyol says:
$ :: Blessing his hearing, his head drops low, just avoiding the sting of phaser fire.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
COM: San Sebastian: Raelm: It sounds like just what someone would steal if they were planning an attack.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ Shooter:  I should warn you, if you harm my cousin who is a civilian, you will regret it.
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
::Stands up, sets the PADD of information on the XO's desk and heads for the door.::

$ACTION: Activity goes from plenty to none in the span of a second or two.

Teyol says:
$ :: remains very still, once he has his hand near his weapon, ready to pull::
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@::Sits back at her desk, raising an eyebrow in mild disbelief, but defers to the higher ranking officer:: XO: Really..? Very well. We just wanted to let you know. No one was hurt here; just a few dazed from some sort of stun devices, incapacitating our people long enough for the supplies to be yanked.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
OPS: I will come to you when I'm finished. In the meantime continue working up a search pattern and let me know the final estimate on the number of ships and personnel we will need from the colonization fleet.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: notes the silence::  Shooter:  Come out into the open, your weapon down, and we will talk.

@ACTION: A broadcast announcement echoes over the intercom advising the ship still remains on lockdown, with the exception of medical emergencies.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: listens for any sounds.::
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
XO: Sure, right after I type up a report for the Captain.
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
::Leaves the XO's office.::

#Info: Sensors detect a broadcast signal coming from somewhere on the planet's surface. It appears not to be aimed at any one ship in particular.

$ACTION: A small projectile sails through the air, landing a few feet behind Teyol. On impact, it explodes.
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::Gives up on her search efforts, secures the quarters and then goes into the bedroom and kicks her boots off and lays down next to her husband and falls asleep.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::shakes her head at the impatience of junior officers:: COM: San Sebastian: Raelm: Keep alert and let me know if anything else happens aboard the San Sebastian.
Teyol says:
$ :: At the sound of a thud, he pulls his weapon, firing as he rolls closer to the shuttle for protection.::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Noting the direction of the firing, she aims her weapon and begins to lay ground covering::
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@COM: Opportunity: XO: Understood, Commander. Thank you for your assistance.
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
@<OPS_Lt_Cartwright> ::Stirs and wakes up.:: CNS: Good morning. Is it morning?
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Tells her staff to take cover and grab a weapon if they have one::
Teyol says:
$ :: His ears ringing, but his training sound, he notes the direction of the continuous phaser firing and makes for the shuttle door.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::terminates the communication from her end and picks up the report from OPS::
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> *XO*: Commander Arinoch, this is Governor McKay. Do you have a moment?
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::Groans but opens her eyes feeling like she just fell asleep.:: OPS: Huh?
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
@<OPS_Lt_Cartwright> CNS: Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. Have you heard anything yet?
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: As soon as she sees he is safely within the shuttle, she stops firing::

$Info: CSO's ground cover is effective, at least on appearance. There is no return fire from the unknown.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*McKay*: I am currently reviewing some important reports Governor. I will be there as soon as I can.
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@OPS: No news.  This ship is on lockdown except medical emergencies.  Communications are hard to come by with the neutrino night.  My research has revealed nothing.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#:: Checks his sensors, which have been beeping slightly with a regular pattern - a broadcast signal. He runs it through the computer first to check for piggybacked signals ::
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::Rolls onto her back placing her one arm behind her head and the other across her stomach and stares up at the ceiling.::
Dr_Lt_Raelm says:
@::Steps away from her desk, and re-enters the main bay, helping others reorganize the facilities to make up for the missing supplies::
OPS_LtJG_Salan says:
@<OPS_Lt_Cartwright> ::Slips an arm around her.:: CNS: I can't believe all of this crap is happening.
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> *XO*: You may want to change your mind, commander. You should see this.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#:: Finding nothing amiss, he runs the playback through his system ::
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> *XO*: It.. involves a member of your crew.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::as she reads her eyebrows raise, the report is not easily dismissed::
Teyol says:
$ :: Inside the shuttle, he secures the hatch and takes the shuttle into the air.  Activating sensors, he turns the shuttle phasing the shooters, phaser ready::

#ACTION: Appearing on the view screen is what looks quite a bit like a form of federation style news report. And, in fact, a caption beneath the image indicates "Breaking Nova News".

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*McKay*: I will be right up ::encrypts the report and places it in a safe place as she heads to the TL and makes her way to the Bridge::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: As soon as the shuttle is positioned, she calls out again.::  Shooter:  I am a Federation officer of the USS Sharikahr.  Put down your weapons and come out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::Rests her head on the OPS' shoulder.:: OPS: Neither can I.  Until we receive any further information, it seems the best place for us to be is right here. ::Motions to the quarters.::  Which is perfectly fine.  I've got an inkling that we Starfleet just need to pull out of this place.
Host JamesH says:
%<Reporter> COM: All: This just in, an attempted terrorist assault has been thwarted on our new home. Security has identified this man as fleeing the scene of a recent assault on a government official.
OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
@CNS: I won't complain if you're stuck here with me, though I'd rather be in our quarters on the Sharikahr.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#:: Eyes the report with a vague curiosity ::

#ACTION: An image of Teyol, leaving a building of some sort, displays on screen. In the background, the sound and look of phaser fire can be observed.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::exits the TL and enters the Bridge making sure to act normal:: McKay: What can I do for you?
CNS_LtCmdr_Haynes-Cartwright says:
@::Chuckles a bit.:: OPS: I'll second that.  How are you feeling?
Teyol says:
$ *CSO*:  I am picking up an individual leaving the area, but nothing else.

Scene: Currently on the view screen, the same broadcast as currently being viewed aboard the captain's yacht.

OPS_Lt_Cartwright says:
@CNS: I'm okay as long as I don't make any sudden or quick moves.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#:: Relegates the report to the side of his viewer and reactivates the communications system ::  COM: CSO: Commander?  A report is being issued by the planetary news that Teyol is a terrorist.
CSO_LtCmd_So`stoh says:
$ *Teyol*:  I can sense your pain.  Land the shuttle.  We will deal with this later... actually, we need to let the authorities deal with it.
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> XO: Just gestures at the screen, quietly listening::
Teyol says:
$ *CSO*:  Understood.  :: proceeds to land the shuttle.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::her mouth drops open as she watches::
Host JamesH says:
%<Reporter> COM: All: Security was able to isolate his base of operations, however the unidentified terrorist quickly made his escape.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Contacts the colonists officials, informing them she and her people had been attacked.::

Info: The image flickers, shifting to show the science shuttle lifting off from its landing coordinates.

CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ COMM:  Captain, Teyol is with me and has been the last few hours.  However, we were just attacked.  Teyol says it is one individual who has fled the scene.
Host JamesH says:
%<Reporter> COM: All: Local police request anyone with information on this man come forward immediately, for the safety and sanctity of our colony.
Teyol says:
$ :: As the shuttle lands, he disembarks to return to the base.::
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: Watches her cousin approach, not bothering to hide the anger from her eyes.::
Host JamesH says:
%<Reporter> COM: All: It is advised that he not be approached, or otherwise engaged, as he is considered to be both armed and dangerous. Please forward any and all information on the subject to authorities. We now return you to your regularly scheduled activities.

ACTION: The image flicks off immediately.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: CSO: He is now considered a wanted person by local authorities.  You may wish to rendezvous with us immediately.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
McKay: That is impossible. He is being framed.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ COMM:  CO:  I am confused captain.  But given the powder keg situation here, we will take your advise.  What about the rest of my teams?
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> XO: I was inclined to think so myself, Commander. But security officials did file a report that he and commander So’tsoh were in the vicinity.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
McKay: They may have been there, but I assure the reason would be entirely benevolent.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ ~~~~ Teyol:  There is far more to this then it appears.  Return to the shuttle.  You are being listed as wanted.  Under normal circumstances, I would say we should go to authorities, but the captain is suggesting we leave immediately.~~~~
Teyol says:
$ :: Pauses, looking outwards for a moment and then with a nod, returns to the shuttle.::
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> XO: I will attempt to figure out on what evidence they're basing this on. But commander, my people wouldn't place him under arrest without due cause.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
McKay: Teyol has never been anything but an exemplary and trustworthy member of this crew. It would seem that someone is trying to discredit Starfleet through Teyol's actions.
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_McKay> XO: I'm sure if that is the case it'll be proven in its own time, commander.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
#COM: CSO: You should warn them to be careful of their actions.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ COMM: CO:  Understood.  Where should we meet you?
Host JamesH says:
<GOV_Mckay> XO: I'll contact the chief of police and see that you get a copy of their findings, commander. I'm as confused as you are, though... you've all been quite helpful.
CSO_LtCmd_So’tsoh says:
$ :: while she waits for coordinates, she informs her people to take extra precautions and to remain in touch at all times.::
Teyol says:
$ :: Taking off his shirt, he moves to get the medkit while waiting.::
