Captain Bolan Storm, Starbase Command

Storm walks onto the command deck of the Starbase and notices a lot of activity happening.  Humm wonder what is happening that the base commander needed to see me so urgent about.  Storm then notices a base securtiy lad with a marine body guard carrying an assualt phaser come up to him.  What the hell is going on here.

"Excuse me Captain Storm but I must take a blood sample from you before I allow you to continue any further" The security personnel reasches for Storm's metallic arm.

"Ah may I ask why?"  As Storm pulls his metallic arm away.

"Base Admirals orders sir"  The security personnel states as the marine points the assualt phaser at Storm"

"Well in that case no problem" as Storm offers the guard his human arm.  The security personnel takes blood out of Storm's arm swishes it around in the vial for a second and looks up at Storm.  "Your clear sir,  you may continue."  Storm continues forward wondering what what the heck that was all about.  Finally Storm reaches the Base Commanders Office on the other side of the Starbase command center.  "Captain Storm of the LAfayette reporting as ordered"  Storm waits for a second then a responces issues forth. "You may enter Captain"  Storm enters the office.

A rather old and large man with greying hair sits behind his big desk he looks up at Storm.  "Ahh good to see you Captain sorry about the blood test but with this new situation arising it seems necessary" The admiral motions to Storm towards the available seat in front of his desk.

"Good to see you Admiral.  What kind of problem are you talking about" Storm says while walking over and sitting in the offered chair.

The Admiral stares at Storm for a moment and raises his bushy eyebrow "Well Captain it seems we have ourselves a little bomb problem.  An antimatter bomb in fact enough power to destroy this entire station and seriously damage the ships parked all around here."

Storm raises his eyebrow then in a calm voice responds" A bomb sir"

THe Admiral leans back in his well worn chair "Yes Captain a bomb!,  and to top things off it is triggered to explode prematurely if any vessel attempts to dock, leave, raise it's shields, transport to or from the starbase, open an airlock on the starbase, or cross a turbolift car to/from the starbase at least that what the bombers message was.  We just received this message over the comm about 15 minutes ago so its likely the bomber is not on the station anymore.  Also we have varified the message as legitimate.   We have know idea where it is placed.  We are assuming that this could possibly be the work of a shape shifter like the one that blew up on Earth.  So Captain as you can see you are going to be stuck here for a while."

 Storm clenches his cybernetic arm Great just great "Well Admiral we may have a problem trying to keep all these Ferengi in one place. "

The Admiral presses a few buttons on his desk "You are right about that but I'll talk to them and tell them of the situation.  As of this moomnt I have had the computer lock down all access to the outside whick includes the turbo lifts.  Also the computer will keep what ever ship that is docked here docked.  I have already sent word to Starfleet about our problem."

Storm leans back in his chair and looks at the Admiral directly "Well Admiral what would you like me to do"

"I never thought you would ask Storm.  I want you and your crew to help search for the bomb.  Maybe we will be able to disarm it when we find it."

"Yes sir I'll get on it right away!" Storm raises out of his seat realizinf he is being dismissed.

Storm leaves the Admirals Office Well I guess I better get in touch with the rest of crew and cancell shore leave.
