Prologue:
For the past two weeks the USS Triton has been busy in an ungrateful job. Part of the crew has been glued to the sensors net trying analyzing the Crab Nebula?s emissions, while the engineering staff worked without pause in fixing more than twelve communications array. 

Everybody is tired and looking forward to finishing this job. But, as they say, life in Starfleet is 95% routine and 5% sheer terror.

It is night on board; the clock indicates that the ships time is 23:35, almost the end of beta shift. The engines hum softly and everything seems all right, but surprises are always around the corner. 

Suddenly the communications console starts beeping. A classified communication for the Captain is just being broadcast from Starfleet.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in...."Planet of No Return"....Chapter One....."The Search"...Stardate 10602.09

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Looks at the communications console beeping.:: *CO*:  Captain, we are receiving a classified communications from Starfleet for you.  Shall I patch it through to your ready room?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::sits bolt upright in her bed::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: in his ready room drinking cream soda while going over reports :: XO: Yes put it though

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::straightens his uniform and approaches the XO::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Sir do you have a second?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
*CO*:  Aye, Captain.  Patching through.  ::Sends the communication to the Captain's Ready Room.::

ACTION: The Starfleet logo appears on the screen and then the face of a senior admiral appears. He seems massive despite his age, his hair almost completely white. But his face is well known in Starfleet, it is the one of Fleet Admiral Yuri Karamazov, the hero of the first Tzenkethi war.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Lt Meadows you go a minute??? I think I know what caused the zany malfunctions.

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
*CO*: Greetings Captain, I am sorry for the late communication, but I wanted you to have the news ASAP.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Finishes checking with security patrols before heading to quarters for the night.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: I will be here in a minute.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: straightens in his chair as the comm. comes through :: *FLADM*: Good evening admiral, I am honored you took the time

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Begins to look over the data from the Crab Nebula.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::gets up quickly and jumps into a fresh uniform does her hair and eyes the sleeping Tar'lak on his pillow still and slips out of her quarters::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
Com: Triton :I am assembling a task force for searching and apprehending some criminals that are creating havoc in this part of space. ::smiles:: and I am sure you got tired of counting stardust.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::jumps into the TL and heads to the bridge::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  Yes, Lieutenant Meadows.  What can I do for you?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: baring his fangs :: COM: FLADM: The Triton is always ready for battle admiral

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: It may be a dangerous mission Captain, but I am sure you are more than up to the task.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Continues looking over the sensor data, but listening to the FCO as he speaks.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Hurry you silly lift hurry.  ::as the lift comes to a hault on the bridge and she tumbles out of the lift::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Steps onto the lift outside the Armory and calls out the deck.:: Aloud: Deck 9

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the CEO tumbling out of the lift, grinning.  Nods to acknowledge her.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::hands over a PADD:: XO: The investigation into the worker bees and the malfunctioning comm. unit is complete sir

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: You know I think the communications array amplified the sound  that was heard on the planet.  ::she says as she walks over to the FCO and the XO::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
Com: Triton: If you don't mind assembling your senior officers in the conference lounge, my aide would be ready to brief you all on this mission in like 15 minutes.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
FCO:  And what did you find?  ::Takes the padd from him.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Sorry sir but I was sleeping and it hit me like a bolt of lightening.  Had to see if the FCO agreed with me on it.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Looks to the CEO and back to the FCO.::  CEO/FCO:  Agreed on what?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM:FLADM: I will have my senior staff assembled and waiting in fifteen minutes, if there is nothing else admiral I will assemble my staff

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Leans back against the wall looking over a padd as the lift moves.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks at the CEO and then back at the XO:: XO: Ma'am there was an unknown signal that when there this system.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Starts to look over the padd with the information on it, then looks up at the FCO.::  FCO:  Origin of signal?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Well it occurred to me that maybe the reason why our malfunctions happened was that signal that was detected in the system or to be more precise the planet.

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: No Captain I will see you in 15 minutes. I appreciate your efforts, and good hunting. 

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: FLADM: K`Vas out

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: The signal looks like a communication signal but its not. We believe that the comm. units on the worker bees and Triton picked up the signal and that caused the malfunctions

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Origin is unknown. We were not able to track down the source just that it was not in this system

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*All Senior Staff*: Assemble in the conference lounge in 13 minutes

ACTION: the screen on the captain console becomes blank.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: I believe that it was coming from the planet as Mrlr heard the sound.  Our communications array may have interpreted it as a communications signal and broadcast it as such causing the malfunctions.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CEO/FCO:  Did someone calibrate the frequency of this signal to be picked up on communications, do you think?  Or is this just a coincidence.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO/FCO: I think it may be only a coincidence and nothing more.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Sighs.::  CEO/FCO:  All right, this will have to wait.  Make sure the Captain gets your report.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
XO: Aye ma'am

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: Yes sir.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::moves back to his post::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: You think it was coincidence right?  I think it was only a coincidence nothing I saw resembled anything hostile at all.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Hear the announcement and calls out new deck.:: Aloud: Computer; Halt lift, new destination, Deck one bridge.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: grabs his cane and walks out onto the bridge ::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Turns the bridge over to a Gamma shift back-up officer, and heads to the Conference Room.  Looks at the FCO.::   FCO:  Are you coming, Lieutenant?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CEO: Well the signal is unknown no source and low frequency. I doubt its a Romunlan plot so yes I think its a coincidence

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::follows the XO:: XO: Yes sir

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CEO:  Lieutenant Randolph?  ::Holds the door for the CEO and FCO to enter.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: heading for the turbolift ::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks up as the lift doors open but doesn't move for a moment.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Enters the conference room and takes a seat waiting patiently to find out why the Captain called them to a meeting.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: growls impatiently waiting for the lift to move ::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::takes his usual seat and waits for the briefing to start::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Lets out a small umph! as he walks out of the lift.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::takes her usual seat and sits waiting for  the rest to enter::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: That was my impression.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::yawning::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks over at the yawning CEO::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CEO: Tired?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self:  I need to get more sleep this problem is getting the best of me.  ::smiles as she remembers her sisters news and smiles::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Wonders what is keeping the crew.  Resists the urge to replicate some donuts, but heads to a replicator and orders a cup of coffee, black.::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Walks across the bridge to the observation lounge and enters.::

ACTION: The communications screen in the observation lounge activates showing a middle aged Andorian Commander. Her face carries a large scar on the right cheek probably caused by an Ushaan-Tor

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO: Me tired?  Lt Meadows if I could sleep for three days it would be nice.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::stands leaning on his cane and listens to the commander ::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::looks over at the screen and wonders who it was::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
FCO:  I haven't had a good nights sleep in so long I don't know what it is to sleep good.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::looks the screen and listens carefully::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Heads back to her seat acknowledging the TO.::  TO:  Hello, Ian.  ::Heads to her seat with her coffee.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Could use a good hot cup of Valerian root tea right about now.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks about the room, nods to Sam and says hello in whisper before taking a seat.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the screen now activated with a middle-aged Andorian.::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: All: Welcome to this meeting. I know time is of the utmost importance for everyone, so I would like to get straight to the point Captain. We are all anxious to find these pirates and the sooner we start the better for all of us.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::raises eyebrow at the word pirates::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Thinks to himself, Pirates, boy what did I miss.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
Self: Pirates?

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: All: In the past two weeks seven cargo ships have been blasted out of space for no apparent reasons and with all hands aboard. After the first cargo ship was destroyed, Starfleet HQ sent the USS Durendal to investigate the scene.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Look at Sam to gage her reaction.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: commander: The crew is assembled and waiting for the details commander

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Stares at the screen, just listening, no reaction, sipping her coffee.::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: All: The crew of the Durendal reported that there were subspace traces of a fight between two ships, but that nothing bigger than a salad bowl remained of the first cargo ship. They followed the other ship's ionic trail, but lost it close to Collapsar 37. The black hole gravimetric disruptions had completely erased the trail.

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: All: The most disturbing thing is that a secondary analysis revealed that both the engines and the weapons of the attacking ships are in use in Starfleet right now.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Her attention is caught at the mention of 'black hole'.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::looks at the screen::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
:: pauses for a second to let her words sink in and then activates a command and suddenly a map of three sectors appears on the screen::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Black hole????  Not good and not to mention I hate them to begin with.

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: ALL: In the following 12 days another six ships have been destroyed at these coordinates :: several dots appear on the map:: Despite the best efforts of the Durendal and the other ship assigned to this area they never managed to arrive in time. Finally, Starfleet has decided to assemble a much larger task force.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::the commander last statement catches his attention::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
:: shifts a little in her chair before continuing ::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::looks at the map of the sectors and is amazed and intrigued at its size::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: Shirel : Are you implying that the pirates have found a way to use the black hole without suffering damage?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Makes mental note to ask about  weapons signatures and frequencies.::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: Captain, it is possible. We believe that they are using it to disguise or erase any trail.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Wonders about the cargo of these ships being destroyed and motif but remains silent still.::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: ALL: There will be 12 ships patrolling this part of space, four for each sector. Your orders are to patrol the area assigned and intervene in case of attack. Use deadly force if necessary, but we would really like to know more about these criminals and discover how they got Starfleet technology in first place.

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
COM: Triton: ALL: Starfleet intelligence is trying to establish a pattern regarding these mysterious attacks, but nothing has come out yet. So we would be happy if your ship and the others would find something that SFI missed. Any questions?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::doesn't like the sound of deadly force::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Raises her hand.::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
:looks at the map but his mind drifts to the crews of the lost ships.::

ACTION: Admiral Karamazov appears on the screen. 

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::raises a hand::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: Shirel: Use deadly force even with members of allied races

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::raises hand::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
::turns toward the commander:: Shirel: Thank you commander, precise as usual, I will take over from here.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::slowly lowers his hand::

Host Cmdr_Shirel says:
@:: nods to the Admiral and backs away ::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::lowers her hand as well::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Captain, those are ruthless criminals, I would like them apprehended, but if necessary blast them out of my sky.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: FLADM: Understood admiral I have no trouble with that.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
All: Now is the time for questions people

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral Karamazov:  What do the cargo manifests report for these ships that are being destroyed?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral:  And is there a motif that SF has come up with?

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Good question Commander, apparently they have nothing in common, but we are looking into that. I will transfer the cargo manifest to your computer as soon as the briefing is over. There is no apparent motif and this makes it very mysterious.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral:  Were they cargo ships?  Exploratory vessels?

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Cargo ships, with different cargoes, some raw materials, some chemicals, some electronics.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral:  Do we have any knowledge that the cargos were beamed off the ships before they were destroyed?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
COM:FLADM: Sir could this material from each ship used to make something?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM:FLADM: Could this be a test of their abilities for something bigger?

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral:  In other words, were there communications to indicate they were being boarded?

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks over his padd and then looks up.:: Admiral:  Sir, Am I understanding this correctly,  The weapons signature matches a Starfleet vessel?

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Some of them for sure, but we are not sure if all the cargo was beamed off, the traces left did not permit us to establish if all cargo was taken

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Admiral:  And communications from these ships prior to their destruction?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Admiral Karamazov: Sir if the pirates have found a way to combat the gravitational forces of the black hole, that would mean that they can cross it and the gravity well would erase their trails.  That is going to make it hard to find any type of trail..

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Feels like she is hogging the question and answer session.::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Captain, this is what we are looking into now, but so far we have no answers, if you want to contribute to the research it would be of great help.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: FLADM: My crew and my ship are at your disposal admiral

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Lieutenant, they are phaser type X, and the engine signature of a small vessel, but we have not been able to track what ship did it.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Leans over and shows Cmdr. Sommers his notes about the weapons signatures.::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: LT. you are right, they disappear like the cowards they are, but we will take them.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
COM: Admiral: Of course sir we will take them down.

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: TO: The weapon signatures, that as you know are unique, could not be traced to any ship in the fleet at the moment.

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
Self: Well maybe I can help get a trace on at least one.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Nods:: COM: Admiral: Thank you sir, but you did say it was Starfleet technology?

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: TO: Phaser and engines; fresh from our arsenal Lieutenant.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the TO.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
TO: Technology can be made to look like Starfleet as well.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: growls :: COM:FLADM: How fresh admiral.  Current generation technology?

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
COM: Admiral: If they are fresh from the arsenal sir then there would be a record of their signatures on file in the computer banks.

ACTION: The computer signals that the upload of data from the Admiral's HQ is finished.

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: CO: Phaser X, Captain, the same you use on your ship.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
COM: Admiral: Is there any .......Stops in mid sentence as the Captain speaks.::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: CEO: As I told, there is no record in the computer banks, and this is the mystery.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks over to Lt Randolph and back to his padd.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
COM: Admiral: Well sir there has to be a signature some where and if it is Starfleet I will get a bead on it for sure.

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: CEO: I would very much appreciate that Lieutenant.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Rubs his eyes and stifles a yawn.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: leans on his cane as his leg hurts and it dawns on him :: COM: Admiral is there a way to check the salvage left from our ships during the Dominion war.  Many of those ships had first generation type X phasers

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
COM: Admiral: I will endeavor to do so sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Sees Ian yawn, and starts to yawn too since yawning is contagious.  Covers her mouth, and takes another sip of her coffee to awaken herself.::

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: CO: It may be a possibility, but I really would hope not. If someone did it, many others could do the same. This gives us another reason to stop these people.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Wonders if someone wants them to think SF is behind this and is masking the signatures to place the blame on SF.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I may be able to help you there sir.  I have records from the Dominion war in my personal computer in my quarters.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Wonders what the CEO is doing keeping records like that on her personal computer in her quarters, but shrugs.::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Shakes off the yawn  and grins at Sam with a shake sof his head.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CO: Sir if I may?

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: If you don't have other questions I must take leave. I have the USS Victory to brief.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Leans back in her chair, her eyes shifting back over to Ian, giving him a smile, something she hasn't had a chance to do in a while.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: Lieutenant you are to take Lieutenant J'Loni into custody until these records can be evaluated, if they are classified beyond her clearance you are to put her in the brig pending court-martial

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Jaw drops at the Captain's response, but stays silent.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::looks at the Captain and then thinks::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CO: Sir these records are from notes that I kept for reference and learning purposes.  Not for anything else.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Almost jumps out of his seat.:: CO: Captain, Custody... Sir, Confinement to quarters sir?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
COM: FLADM: Thank you admiral

Host FLADM_Karamazov says:
COM: Triton: Good hunting again. ::leaves the room and the screen goes blank::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CEO: We will see

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Notices the screen going blank, and the atmosphere turn to confusion in the room.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::turns his attention back to the captain::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I have nothing to hide especially from you or the federation.  My personal computer in at your disposal.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
TO: The XO and you will accompany her to her quarters immediately.  If you find these records to be out of her security clearance, put her in the brig

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Frowns.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
ALL: Dismissed

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Looks to the CEO with eyes that give away his feelings on this assignment and answers the Captain.:: CO: Aye Sir

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
XO: I expect a report within the hour commander

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
Self:  J'Loni, what did you get yourself into now.  ::sighs.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Aye, Captain.  You will have it.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::stands up and moves toward the CO::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Stands up and motions for the CEO and TO to join her.  Moves to the door.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::nods in acknowledgement at the CO and shows no fear at all::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
::moves to the XO with the TO behind her::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Steps back and motions for Randolph to move toward the door.::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Exits onto the bridge and heads for a TL, holding the door for them.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Yes lieutenant?

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: I report to the XO about the worker bees I just want to give you a copy of my report ::holds out a PADD::

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
CEO: Lieutenant, I'm sorry, but you must have touched a nerve with the Captain.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: takes the padd :: FCO: Thank you lieutenant, your work is commendable as always

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Thank you sir and if you will excuse me

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Glances to the XO and shrugs::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Dismissed Mr. Meadows

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Feels sorry for the CEO, but does her best not to let her feelings show, trying to be strong and assertive.  Waits for them to enter the TL, and then orders it to the deck the CEO's quarters are on.::

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
CO: Aye sir ::turns and walks to the exit::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
TO: Lt. Cerdan I always seem to be doing that lately I wonder if it means anything.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: heads for his ready room to review the data received while Gamma shift is on duty ::

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::The TL doors close and then re-open on the appropriate deck for the CEO's quarters.  Waits for the CEO to lead the way.::  CEO:  After you, J'Loni.

FCO_Lt_Meadows says:
::walks back onto the bridge and takes his post::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: begins reading the report from the admiral :: Himself: It will be good to do battle again

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
XO: I am sorry but what I have are only notes and poor diagrams for my learning for the academy.  I am sure that you will find nothing out of the ordinary.

TO_Lt_Cerdan says:
::Steps off the lift on deck nine and follows J’Loni to her quarters.::

CEO_Lt_Randolph says:
TO: Sir I suggest you be careful Tar'lak is loose.

XO_LtCmdr_Sommers says:
::Enters CEO Quarters with the TO and heads to her computer.::
