Clearing History.
Host Martijn says:
Last Time on the U.S.S. Tal-War…
Host Martijn says:
The Tal-War crew continued their search for the transponder signal which was received by StarFleet several days ago. The away team on the surface found the remains of a StarFleet officer next to what appeared to be left from the transponder device they detected.
Host Martijn says:
Meanwhile we saw the Tal-War return from a fruitless search on Trinaro 5 and notice that something was wrong… questions followed each other quickly… “Where did that dampening field come from?” “Where is the AT?” All reasonable questions, but will they be answered?
Host Martijn says:
Find out as we join the crew on the big screen…

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  We don't know.  The dampening field was up.
T`Ran says:
#XO: Just because I stated that you would not be harmed, does not imply that I offered any medical aid.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Jameson didn't give any clues?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  It's difficult to see the sun under a jungle canopy.  All she could see was trees.

@*CIV* The only thing that I am detection on my tricorder is the same technology that the Landing Party detected earlier.  ::begins walking in that direction::  Initiate a full sweep of the area on all known energy signature bands...  could take a while, but that might be the only option we have.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Launch it. start analysing the area and search for that dampening field. Or your  best hunches where it could be.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  The abandoned settlement.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::raises voice::  FCO: I've got a bearing on the equipment the landing party was reading earlier.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Probe launched, ETA 4 minutes Sir. Initiating full sweep as well.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: What about it? ::turns to the OPS: OPS: Also start a scan for energy readings how ever small it maybe.
FCO_Shania says:
@CO: Yeah well, maybe you should stay away from it or we end up in the same trap as the away team.
XO_Jameson says:
#::Realises that the Vulcan is not going to assist Wuer, and heads over to him herself, removing her jacket for possible rudimentary medical use::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  That's my hunch on where the generator is.  :;shrugs::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: We just launched a probe to search for the dampening field. also scanning for energy reading now,sir.
XO_Jameson says:
#CTO: What do you think Wuer has done to his leg?
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::whispers:: XO: Just a few bruises commander, nothing serious.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@FCO: I agree, but it's going to be the only way we can find them...  retrace their steps....
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Why not just beam down a security detail and start a systematic search?
T`Ran says:
#::He paces in front of the containment cells, looking in at the group. After a few moments a guard walks up and hands him a Federation issue tricorder, he opens it and begins accessing the database:: XO: Interesting data you've collected, Commander.

CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::pauses::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:

FCO_Shania says:
@CO: Then I suggest we stay out of sight, at least.
XO_Jameson says:
#::Nods discretely to MacAllister, and then stands to approach the containment field again::

CIV:  Basically.
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: It is? I haven't had the chance to analyse it myself.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::thinking::  *CIV*  John...  What would someone use in jungle flora if they wanted to set up a trigger for a booby trap?
CSO_Wuer says:
#XO: I don't think its serious myself, after all I used to be a CMO well in my past life, but I am worried about the symbiont, if we were on the ship I get myself scanned
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: You took our equipment almost as soon as the data was collected from the planet.
T`Ran says:
#::He nods to himself once:: XO: Unfortunately, you won't be getting that chance. ::He taps few commands and wipes the tricorder’s database, turning it to show Jameson::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::grins:: *CO*: I would use nature itself. Rope or string if necessary covered up well.
CSO_Wuer says:
#CTO: ::whispers:: The crew won't be finding us using that tricorder I dropped then! Dam...
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Scan the settlement and we could fire a phaser blast at it and see what happens. ::turns:: OPS: how far is the CO and FCO from the Settlement?
T`Ran says:
#XO: It's terrible how the Federation gives you such faulty technology. The other crew's tricorders unfortunately met the same fate...their memory cores lost all available data...a shame really.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::incredulous::  CIV:  Fire a phaser blast at it and see what happens!  Are you nuts?
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::retunes tricorder::  *CIV* but it would have to be able to set off the field....
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#CSO: ::whispers:: You could be right there.
XO_Jameson says:
#::Reacts to the deletion with only a smile, aware that the new AT will likely collect the same data::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: 237.5 meters, Sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is startled to hear they are that close::
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: The data is not of any import to me at the present moment.  My people's release is.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: Something with a low power reading. The same thing we use for the doors.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::continues walking::  FCO: I'm continuing forward.....
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::walking::  *Tal-War* We're continuing forward Tal-War...
T`Ran says:
#XO: Unfortunately I can not allow that at this present time. If you wish, I can provide information to your crew which will allow them to locate you...
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The CO and FCO arrive at the scene where the AT was captured.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#CSO: Just relax, we'll try and get out of here.
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: What will happen to the crew if they attempt to rescue us? The same fate we have arrived at? or will they be allowed to succeed?
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::pauses at arrival at the coordinates::
FCO_Shania says:
@ ::looks around for traces of the away team::
T`Ran says:
#XO: Rescue is not an option at this present time. I assured you that I would not harm you or your team, under the terms that you cooperate. Violate that, and I will be forced to take more, drastic measures. ::He holds out his hand and one of the guards gives him one of their Starfleet issue phasers::
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::discreetly takes in every detail of the containment cell::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: concentrate on energy readings now. That field might o up right about now. :;turns again:: CNS: be ready to fire a controled phaser blast at the abandon settlement.
CSO_Wuer says:
#CTO: I'm fine been in worst scrapes than this, our only chance is to find some way out of here!
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  You are nuts.  ::reconfigures his console as tactical::
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: We have no intention to resist, as long as we do not break any oaths that we have previously made.  For example, to Starfleet.  ::Watches T'Ran for a reaction::
FCO_Shania says:
@::sees the body, scans for lifesigns, finds none::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::ready to beam out the AT at the first sign of trouble::
T`Ran says:
#::He looks down at the phaser and almost cracks a smile. He taps several key codes into the phaser, changing it's modulation to match the containment field's energy levels. He points, and fires, a blast striking mere millimetres from MacAllister:: XO: Honourable, but I follow a different code.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#CSO: I might have an idea, just hang it there.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Aye Sir, I'm not even blinking anymore.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: first time i heard that from a professional.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::walks up to the body and conducts a complete scan::
T`Ran says:
#XO: I will allow you to speak to your crew, under the condition that you make no attempts at a rescue. Any attempts, will result in the loss of more life...beyond that of you and your team.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I find that hard to believe.  ::targets the settlement::
XO_Jameson says:
#::Blinks at the phaser fire, but doesn't turn round, using he mind to check her is not experiencing pain of an injury::
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#XO: Commander, can I have a word?
FCO_Shania says:
@::shakes head as the CO approaches the body, mumbling something a perfect idea::
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::transmits the scan data::  *CIV* John...  I'm transmitting complete scans of the body down here to the ship.
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: My crew will not accept that, unless i can give them more information, such as a time frame.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::shoots T`Ran a dirty look::
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@*CIV* Do you still have a transporter lock?
XO_Jameson says:
#::Gestures that the CTO should whisper to her, as she takes a few steps back from the field::
CSO_Wuer says:
#CTO: I could possibly rewire our comm badges to feed back and short out the cell containment field, but that’s no use while there out there
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::receive scan transmission and despatches to CIV, Science and Medical consoles::
T`Ran says:
#XO: Those are my terms, accept them, or prepare for that 'time-frame' of yours to be extended indefinitely.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::whispers:: XO: We need to get his trust, I have an idea.
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran:  Then I will attempt to comply, but i cannot guarantee their reactions
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: We still got a lock on the CO and FCO?
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@FCO: Run deep intense scans of the transponder...   Collect all data possible.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@*CIV*  If you do, lock on to this body and beam it up...
FCO_Shania says:
@CO: Sure ::starts scans::
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: The XO, CTO and CSO see two guards carry a man in a Starfleet uniform passing by.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Aye Sir, we do.
T`Ran says:
#XO: You can, simply inform your Captain that he will comply with our 'requests' - or you, your team and the others will all die.
XO_Jameson says:
#::Reaches out her mind to attempt to see who the officer is, if he was indeed alive::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: we still got a lock on you. What body precisely...yours?
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@*CIV* Get the transponder too if you can.
XO_Jameson says:
#T'Ran: As long as none of my men are harmed, i will send the message you ask
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Beam onboard the body and the transponder, as the captain ordered.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@FCO: Make sure you have your tricorder set to continually transmit to the ship as you scan the device.
T`Ran says:
#XO: No need - you will be allowed to speak to them directly. ::He snaps a finger and a guard nods and leaves the containment area::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Beam out complete, the Medical department has been briefed, Sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::scans the settlement for energy readings::
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::whispers:: XO: We need to keep the captain away. I may be able to get us out of here.
FCO_Shania says:
@ ::shoots the CO a look but refrains from commenting:: CO: Aye
CSO_Wuer says:
#::Tobius struggles up to his feet and limps over to where the XO stands to look at the officer being carried past::

@::looks curiously to the FCO::  FCO: Is there  a problem commander?
XO_Jameson says:
#::Takes a very deep breath as she gets flashes of an engine room, personal quarters::
FCO_Shania says:
@ CO: Not at all, sir.
Host Martijn says:
ACTION: OPS's console bleeps as a communication is coming in...
XO_Jameson says:
#::Is still talking to T'Ran, so responds to MacAllister with a slight pressure from her fingertips to his arm::
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::turns to face the FCO::  FCO: Seriously..  Tell me what you really think...
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hears the beep and looks over at OPS::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: I'm getting a signal, someone is initiating communications, Sir.
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Put it on the screen,please.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::puts transmission onscreen::
XO_Jameson says:
#::Prepares to send the communication::
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::continues scanning the area::

CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::walking and scanning::  FCO: You getting anything Commander?
T`Ran says:
#::He hears a beep from a nearby wall console and moves over to it, as the signal initiates. He keeps in the shadows, but makes it visible that there is someone there:: COM: Tal-War: This transmission is for the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Tal-War...
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::peers intently at the viewscreen::
FCO_Shania says:
@CO: I'm picking up an active comm array about 2 km northwest of our position. It has just been activated.
T`Ran says:
#COM: Tal-War: Relay this signal to his location immediately, or a member of your away team will die. ::He doesn't even look and he raises his phaser, firing into the containment cell once more - striking the back wall with a loud blast::
XO_Jameson says:
#COMM: This is Commander Jameson.  We are being held captive.  We have been informed that as long as no rescue attempt is made, we will not be harmed.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@::raises eyebrows::  FCO: Upload the scan to the ship and plot us a path to the array!
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
COM: T'ran: This IS Commander Exeter,  currently commanding the USS-Tal-War.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#::slowly approaches the containment field looking a bit shifty and gestures T`Ran to come over::
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if the transmission is being patched through to the Captain::
FCO_Shania says:
@CO: Aye ::contacts the ship and transmits data::
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@FCO: Which way?
T`Ran says:
#::He reaches over and cuts the audio component of the incoming signal, cutting off Exeter, and ensuring they won't be interrupted. He nods for Jameson to continue::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::holds back waiting for orders::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Get a fix on the location ::looks annoyed:: CNS: Would he really kill a member?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Best to assume so.
XO_Jameson says:
#COMM: We are still on the planet's surface, underground.  There is at least one other Starfleet member here who has been harmed.
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
T`Ran: Pssssssst. ::gestures to him again::
T`Ran says:
#::He doesn't move away from the control console, but glances towards MacAllister, curious about what he wants::
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: I'm getting a reading about 2km northwest of the second AT, Sir.
FCO_Shania2 says:
@::plots safest path to the array:: CO: It will take us about 15 minutes to get there. I thought we better stay  in the woods. Don't wanna be surprised by a bunch of Vulcans.
CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@FCO: Good thinking...   ::begins walking in the direction the FCO points out::
CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:

CO_Capt_Irvin says:
@*CIV* No Commander...  You're best place is on the ship...   However, go ahead and send down a SMALL security detail.
OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Coordinates sent, Sir.
XO_Jameson says:
#COMM: The Vulcan in charge, T'Ran, will not give a timeframe on our captivity, therefore i cannot tell you how long this situation will last
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
