I agree that any civilization that acquires FTL travel is usually fair game for contact. And usually Starfleet would want to get to them before someone else did. That being said the other idea of them sidestepping FTL travel, whether disinterest on their part of whatever, but discover advanced tech in other areas is an interesting question. We saw in Insurrection that Starfleet is not above and in fact very willing to relocate a population they believed to be primitive in order to take something they feel would be beneficial to themselves. So you can't rule out the possibility of Starfleet interfering with an advanced race despite their lack of FTL. I think the most obvious idea would be observance and espionage. Or maybe depending on HOW advanced they are, Starfleet would discuss amending the Prime Directive for such a circumstance.

Lieutenant Snow chased down Admiral Elaine Jaffe after she briskly walked from the transporter pad, breezed past Snow and down the hall toward a turbo lift. She rounded a corner and Snow lost sight of her. He picked up the pace to catch up then tapped his com badge. Becoming short of breath he said, “Captain, Admiral Jaffe has just arrived, should I escort her to the briefing room?” McFly sat with the rest of his senior staff in the briefing room behind the bridge. He had been anticipating this meeting for two days, from the time he initially contacted his superior about the new revelations the crew uncovered. Just as Snow was requesting order confirmation from the Captain, Jaffe walked into the briefing room and immediately took station at the briefing table on the far opposite side of McFly. He rolled his eyes over toward Kansas to his right side, his head eventually meeting the same destination. She replied with squinted eyes of annoyance and mouthed the word “dumbass”. “Don’t bother.” McFly replied with a sigh to Snow then closed his com. Jaffe quickly set up her position with a couple of padds which also commandeered the screen on the wall. She turned to address the officers and just as she opened her mouth to speak Doctor Vilanne Chalice walked into the room carrying a tray with a coffee pot and three coffee cups. Her eyes carried obvious bags, her hair slightly frazzled and the sheer will she used to prevent her skull from cracking like an egg was evident upon her face. Like a waiter she dispensed a coffee cup each to McFly and Kansas then poured them both coffee from the pot. She then set herself up and promptly took her own seat at the table. McFly quietly thanked Vilanne then took a sip. As he did his eyes darted up to see Jaffe glaring at him from the other side of the table. He gulped down the succulent nectar freshly squeezed from the one true Almighty mother’s teat then asked the Admiral, “I’m sorry did you want some?” Quick thinking forced Jaffe to realize she neither had the time nor the convenience to kill McFly at the moment. And so she continued with her reason for arriving. “This crew is a few of only a handful of people who will know about a dark secret the top personnel at Starfleet are trying to keep quiet. There has been a data breach within Starfleet computers on Earth. We still don’t have the full scope of the breach but we do know about one of the most troubling pieces of information that was taken.” The screen on the wall switched to a single column list of numbers. The numbers scrolled by slow enough to be identified but fast enough no individual set could be memorized. “This is the master list of starship prefix codes to the entire fleet. A list that is useless without this…” The numbers moved to the left side of the screen, still scrolling. On the right, a list of names appeared, each starting with USS. Jaffe continued, “…a corresponding list of the ships matched to each code. Without this, the best anyone could do is guess which code belongs to any ship. Section 31 became aware of the breach and was able to catch the perpetrator in the middle of their upload. Only a third of the named list was sent. And I’m sure you would recognize one of the names.” Both lists stopped scrolling and one name and code highlighted, USS Sumadi. “So this was an inside job.”McFly said, stating the obvious. “Yes.” Jaffe replied. “The person has been caught and interrogated. Unfortunately we know very little of the whys of all this. He’s part of a larger organization that feels Starfleet has become too big and should be forced to scale down. He didn’t know what they planned to do with the ships other than steal them and it also seems he was barely a new recruit. His mission was to feed information through an encrypted channel and he only received one mission at a time which was always delivered to him through different means.” “So the question is,” McFly said as he thought through the situation, “was the Sumadi meant to destroy the station or were they trying to steal the ship?” “Our analysts believe the situation to be an accident. They feel whomever was trying to steal the ship destroyed the station when the ship became irretrievable in hopes of destroying evidence.” “But the Bauer and Ethan Carter were still there.” “Loose ends they seemed to have attempted to tie up when they gained control of your ship.” “Speaking of which,” Erich Jaenke said looking back to McFly then back to Jaffe, “how exactly were they able to control our ship using just the prefix code? Traditionally I’m only aware of it used to lower shields or disable weapons.” “And that’s the limits we allow people to be aware of.” Jaffe replied. “The prefix code system is a very powerful tool. Most of the fleet believes it to be a myth. We make Captain’s aware of it when taking command of a ship, but they’re explicitly instructed only to use it in the most extreme of circumstances and we make them believe it’s only capable of disabling the most basic of ship functions. In reality, the code gives basic computer control to a remote user. If you know what you’re doing and you dig deep enough, you can gain complete computer control.” “And even change the command codes.” McFly added. Jaffe nodded. “Why even have such a powerful feature if it can be used against us like this?” asked Keb. “It’s proved useful for us in a handful of extreme circumstances over the years. I’m sure your history books can remind you of a few famous incidents. In the event a Starfleet vessel has been compromised, Captains have an easy way to fight back without committing too much damage to the offending ship. But really, the prefix system was designed for us, for black ops. Our being able to remotely access a ships computer has been invaluable to us.” “But only in extreme circumstances, right?” Keb asked slyly. “Of course, Commander.” Jaffe replied. McFly leaned back in his chair and put his cup down after having taken another sip. “Alright so where do we go from here?” “Officially,” Jaffe replied, “you’re mission is over. You’ve gained crucial information to help move this investigation along. But now Section 31 will be taking over.” Silence fell over the room as if they were just told they’d be decommissioned. “But I’ve known this ship for too long.” Jaffe said breaking the tension. “They’ve now made this personal for you and no order is going to prevent you from continuing your own investigation. Nor do I believe it should.” McFly smiled as he took another sip of coffee. Jaffe continued, “Officially I have to assign you something else. But personally… You have a lead, the cloaked ship that escaped after you regained computer control. Find it, see where it leads you and unravel this before another Sumadi incident happens. Intel foresees major issues for the Federation from other players. We don’t need shadow terrorists weakening our fleet right now. But, if you do this, keep in mind this will be a completely unsanctioned mission. Should anything happen to you, you will be considered rogue and be disavowed. Extradition and the like will not be afforded you. You’ll be completely on your own.” “So not unlike most of our top secret missions.” Mcfly said raising his coffee cup. Annoyed McFly finally got to her Jaffe lowered her head trying to push back a smile. She looked up stern faced again. “One last thing,” Jaffe held up an otherwise ordinarily looking isolinear chip. “Your new prefix code. This one-time use chip will reprogram it in your system.” She placed it conspicuously on the table. “You know where to stick it Captain.” Jaffe gathered her padds and the screen on the wall changed back to normal. “God speed Manticore.” she said and then exited the room. McFly looked over to Kansas and smirked, “I think she’s starting to like me.”

Keb: ::gives KK a half-joking look:: Kansas Kenickie: I will make sure we are together Jack Ryan: ::Thinking To Self:: :I SHouldnt've come to shift today Im Angry Enough As It Is: BrenFaliver: Actually I've already run some checks on the data consistency and quality, I think we're ok in that regard, sir Keb: ::loudly:: And I sure wouldn't want Erich anywhere nearby either... Kansas Kenickie: ::Steals Keb's bow:: McFly: Kansas might be the best person to have in prision Erich Jaenke: :: Throwing up... :: Keb: ::puts her hands up to her head too slowly:: Hey! Keb: That one was regulation size. Close, anyway. Erich Jaenke: :: ...the visual data from the time when the cloaked ship made an exit :: Kansas Kenickie: There is no such thing Kebs Erich Jaenke: :: Tries to chase the data :: Hmm, heading of 145 mark 23... scanning along that path. Callista Tyrel: :: From her workstation :: But Chief I still think a corrupt program would have to be delivered physically, rather than from our sensors. The code just has to be right. BrenFaliver: Nah Erich, that's flatulence from a miniature giant space hamster, I chased it down already Erich Jaenke: They have to get around the firewalls, so it's someone that knows some of the root commands. Callista Tyrel: ( hehe Bren ) Keb: Dress code regulation 3.2.9.7 allows functional or religious hair ornamentation not to exceed 15 centimeters in width in coordinating colors to the uniform. Keb: I looked it up. Erich Jaenke: :: to Bren on an adjacent monitor :: I'm sure you did. Kansas Kenickie: as long as they aren't a distraction Callista Tyrel: Or a genius. ::sighs:: I am looking at the readings in that area sir. Keb: It wasn't distracting ME! Kansas Kenickie: I was slightly Gila Orrak: Bren, let me know if a killer plant or lifeform is involved. :: She wrinkled her forehead, causing her 'spoon' to do the same :: Keb: Yeah, and now I've got to slow down a little faster than I expected. Hold on in case the inertial dampeners don't like you, KK. Keb: ::bringing us out of warp not far from the station, along with our companion ship;; Erich Jaenke: :: to others in engineering :: We are coming out of warp. Kansas Kenickie: ::Clips the bow in her hair:: Callista Tyrel: I confess I have little experience dealing with cloaking fields..Just a week or so...how it works...but sending a signal with a package....I don't know how it can be done. Maybe our science teams know this stuff better. :: taps and zooms her data::: Jack Ryan: ::Goes To My Crew Quarters:: Erich Jaenke: If it's a physical thing that was the corruption point then the field would have been disturbed to release it. McFly: ACTION> MANTICORE DROPS OUT OF WAR NEAR STATION 702 McFly: WARP BrenFaliver: YAY ITS PEACE TIME Erich Jaenke: (Warp, what it is good for?) McFly: ((absolutely nothing)) Erich Jaenke: :: Notes that Ryan is feeling under the weather :: BrenFaliver: ((Say it again)) Callista Tyrel: But what if the physical method of transmission used on Manticore itself? Erich Jaenke: ((Warp!) Jack Ryan: ::Is feverish:: Erich Jaenke: Then we are in for a bad time. Jack Ryan: :Heads back to engineering anyways: McFly: ((good god y'all)) Jack Ryan: ::gets to station near primary warp core:: Callista Tyrel: :: notes the Power levels drop in Engineering from the ship dropping out of Warp :: Keb: Captain...we're here. I'm transmitting docking request now. Callista Tyrel: Everything went crazy after we had our visitor from the Bauer Sir. Jack Ryan: Good God McFly: Very good. I'm imagining everyone gawking out the window at the bauer. Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Get A Migraine:: McFly: Then they're like, oh how brave, you saved the ship, and then we're like, we did BrenFaliver: Just tell them its a trophy from our hunting expedition, and they might not screw with us Jack Ryan: SON OF A Keb: ::glances back at McFly skeptically:: you think they'd really fall for that? Erich Jaenke: Funny, if I'm not too medicated and every engineer is doing their job I know exactly what is going on by reading their thoughts Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Struggle to COntinue working under this condition:: McFly: If science changes our logs they will! BrenFaliver: I'm a scientist not a special FX pro, Captain. It'll take a few hours. Callista Tyrel: Okay...I take it, I should ...spill it out then. Yeah I admit..I think Mason did it.....or well he is a suspect. Jack Ryan: He Probably DId McFly: Starbase 702> ::transmits docking approval:: Erich Jaenke: Mason? Jack Ryan: ::Ryan Would Look Pale:: McFly: ::sighs:: Of course it will BrenFaliver: ((Why do you write Ryan's actions in the conditional?)) Gila Orrak: :: Continues to work :: Jack Ryan: He probably did do it Callista Tyrel: It fits the timeline of events. And he would be the most ...capable method of delivering a corrupt program into our computer system. Erich Jaenke: We have no evidence and I did not sense any ill intentions. Callista Tyrel: ::looks at Ryan :: Uh..you may not want to follow me on this Jack. Keb: ::shakes her head at McFly:: There's a reason they don't put me in security, Captain. I don't have the best poker face. Keb: Erich reads me like a book. Erich Jaenke: I'm wondering if he has the knowledge to carry it out... perhaps he had help. Jack Ryan: Im Sick ENough As It Is I Have to continue to do my Job callista Erich Jaenke: (( with pictures Keb )) McFly: Well, i mean, he's reading your mind too Keb: ((hee!)) Erich Jaenke: :: to Ryan :: Try some tea Mr. Ryan Jack Ryan: No I'll Be Fine Chief... Keb: He's not the only one who can do that. We don't know who is at the base. Keb: I think we're better off with the truth--as much of it as we know at this point, anyway. Erich Jaenke: :: Goes to the replicator :: No, then I'll have some. Betazoid brew...made to clear the mind. Callista Tyrel: ::looks at Chief Engineer Jaenke :: I am just looking at the easiest way to upload a corrupt program into our system.. A Physical Connection.

Jack Ryan: Cheif Permission To Take The Rest Of The Day Off Erich Jaenke: Permission granted. Erich Jaenke: I send the replication pattern to your replicator. My only request is you give it a try. Jack Ryan: Fine.. Jack Ryan: ::Walks out of engineering down to my quarters:: Callista Tyrel: ::turns leaning away from her computer away from her workstation :: Hope he gets well. Erich Jaenke: Computer, play Paranoid Android, Earth archives, 25% volume. Erich Jaenke: The hum gets to me after a while. McFly: Starbase 702> ::over coms:: Uh, Manticore, we'll take the bauer from here. Erich Jaenke: You listen to music Tyrel? McFly: Starbase 702> ::engages tractor beams to position the Bauer into their docking clamps:: Callista Tyrel: Uh some when I exercise....something usually with some rhythm. Gila Orrak: Another starbase. I have been to so many. Erich Jaenke: Earth has an ocean of music. I'm always finding something new. Callista Tyrel: San Francisco exposed me to quite a bit of music. McFly: ::to Keb:: I wonder if they've ever see a ship this badly banged up Keb: ::shrugs:: I dunno. ::feels the way Manticore somehow seems relieved of a weight despite the weightlessness:: Erich Jaenke: For I sat and listened to music for the rest of my life, but was only a teaspoon and my time was finite. Erich Jaenke: They have a good scene there. Callista Tyrel: :: smiles :: Hmm...Computer, Post all whereabouts of Captain Mason on his visit to Manticore...Compile chronologically. Keb: But they'll have better resources than we do to fix her up. Jack Ryan: (MATH SCIENCE HISTORY UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY THAT ALL STARTED WITH A BIG BANG HEY!!!) Callista Tyrel: Hmm....:: turns and looks at Data :: Hmm....21st century early ....Earth Music...Rock... Callista Tyrel: :: looks at the Compiled Data :: Erich Jaenke: I have to listen to music in order for the voices to stop. Erich Jaenke: Maybe an audio file with code, inject it into an unchecked buffer. Callista Tyrel: :: stops and turns around :: Betazoids...Uhm.... Gila Orrak: I don't even know why I am on this vessel Faliver. My superiors would not tell me. Callista Tyrel: I am sorry....every time an nervous ensign comes aboard. BrenFaliver: We needed another Science officer, you are a science officer Keb: Captain... McFly: Yep Keb: We've got an incoming request for a private comm to you. Keb: From the SB commander. Callista Tyrel: :: looks back at the Mason data ::: Hmm well I don't see an obvious...marker. Gila Orrak: I could not pass up going to non-Cardassian ship. Federation no less. The Council wished to smooth over relations. McFly: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! BrenFaliver: So, what is missing for your superiors to not have told you? Keb: ::startled by McFly's reaction:: Sir? McFly: Forward it to the ready room. You have the bridge... and possibly command once this is all finished. Callista Tyrel: ::turns:: I can understand your desire to ....be alone ... at times. To be at peace with...an undistrubed mind. McFly: ::walks into the ready and sits in the chair; takes more time than is necessary before answering the call:: Erich Jaenke: :: turn to Tyrel :: I'm rarely alone. I hear it all unless the medication is in full effect. Jack Ryan: ((I Hate to say it but i have to go)) Erich Jaenke: The cries, the arguments, the intimacies. Keb: ::glances over at KK with some concern:: Erich Jaenke: (take care Ryan) Jack Ryan: ((I'll be back next sim for the full time) Jack Ryan: (You To CHief Callista Tyrel: On Betazed, do Betazoids constantly broadcast their thoughts as well? Callista Tyrel: ( bye Jack ) McFly: ((later jack)) Keb: ::gets on with the docking sequence while keeping an eye on the bridge too:: Erich Jaenke: I can hear your voice, voices.. McFly: Mellen> ::the station commander pops up on the screen in front of him; she looks at him with much concern:: Captain, May I ask what happened? Captain Mason said you damaged his vessel? Erich Jaenke: Not normally. McFly: Yeah, ugh, see what had happened was... and then... Erich Jaenke: My mind is as if I can toss my thoughts a long distance McFly: Mellon> I see. And you still don't know how you lost control of the ship? McFly: We're working on it ma'am. Callista Tyrel: I was just wondering...I mean ...you have no shields ...for lack of a better word....for thought bombardment. Callista Tyrel: :: puts her time locations of Mason along with Computer Access points on Manticore :: McFly: ::ends his comm with Mellon:: That wasn't as bad as I expected. Callista Tyrel: Grrr.... Nothing. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. BrenFaliver: +Erich+ Uh... my fellow department leading enthusiast, I have a concern... Callista Tyrel: :: quiets herself to allow Jaenke to answer the COM :: Erich Jaenke: +Bren+ Are you thinking the same thing? Erich Jaenke: :: looks at Tyrel :: Callista Tyrel: :: remains quiet :: BrenFaliver: +Erich+ I just stumbled on it, I mean... I've only seen these things used once before, and we were the ones using them. Does it look right to you? I'm passing you some data to the main Eng table Erich Jaenke: :: Goes to the pool table :: \ Callista Tyrel: :: walks over to the Pool table :: Keb: ::gets the docking finalized:: BrenFaliver: +Erich+ Erich? Erich? Did you pass out from the shock? BrenFaliver: +Erich+ But, who the hell could have gotten the Manticore's ship prefix codes?? Erich Jaenke: It may be the root code after all. +Bren+ No, but I think all Starfleet ships may be in great danger. Callista Tyrel: :: looks at Jaenke :: McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = McFly: = /\ ======= PAUSE SIM ======= /\ = Erich Jaenke: My prefix is 740 BrenFaliver: ::Pause:: McFly: mine is 850 McFly: had to get that cliff hanger in there. Erich Jaenke: Some years ago that would have not seemed like a prefix at all Callista Tyrel: hmm... McFly: Alright, KK left early cause she's not feeling well. She broke her ankle this weekend and it hurts like hell. Erich Jaenke: OMG, really? BrenFaliver: Oh carp! McFly: yep. shoveling snow i think she said McFly: So, all well wishes for her. Callista Tyrel: oh no! Erich Jaenke: I sent her some stuff a while back, but she liked the plastic bags I packed things in the best. Callista Tyrel: oh my.... Keb: ouch, poor KK Erich Jaenke: Home broken bone kit perhaps. McFly: Oh, and I had an email exchange with A9 this weekend too. He's on week 2 of a 3 week trip into Asia. Hong Kong, Thailand and ending in Vietnam. Erich Jaenke: That little **** BrenFaliver: He wouldn't get a tattoo at the dodgy looking place Erich Jaenke: I mean I hope he is having a good tiome Keb: Aw, I'm glad he's having a good trip! Erich Jaenke: The best I can do is listen to a song by Asia Keb: Hong Kong was fun. Callista Tyrel: I have to go....you all have a good night! McFly: Don't know about Sovak. I assume A9 left him to fend on the streets all alone. BrenFaliver: Good night, good week Erich Jaenke: I think I like the idea of traveling, but may not like it as much once I was on the journey. Keb: OH that reminds me that I'll be in Disneyland next week so not here. Erich Jaenke: I'd picture up the place though McFly: Nice Keb! Keb: Have fun with Kardboard Keb. Erich Jaenke: It's a small world Keb Keb: Taking my parents and husband. McFly: We're hoping to go back to disney world once construction is all finished. Keb: Kinda a birthday thing, kinda just a thing I've been wanting to do for some time Erich Jaenke: I will tuck the cardboard Keb with a cardboard blanket Keb: Yeah, a lot of people are waiting for Galaxy's Edge. I'm kinda hoping by going ahead of time we avoid some of the crowd. McFly: Real quick, TBS will be immediate as we all process this new revelation. Keb: oof my eyes are tired and did not read that t correctly. McFly: questions, comments? Erich Jaenke: We should do a plot where the crew slowly turns into cardboard cutouts? Erich Jaenke: And we are orbiting Scissor World McFly: sounds like a dream Bren had McFly: Well if nothing else then everyone is... McFly: DISMISSED! McFly: Have fun in disney Keb! BrenFaliver: o.o BrenFaliver: Good night! McFly: later dudes Keb: Thanks! Gnight all! Erich Jaenke: Have fun and takes shots

= /\ = USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1021, STARDATE 51903.04 = /\ = Manticore was ordered to sector 821 just within the Federations deep space territory. Upon arrival they found a starbase destroyed by a ship gone rogue. Suddenly Manticore seemingly went "rogue" herself severely damaging the USS Bauer in the process. Soon the engineering team was able to regain control of the ship. After returning to the battered Bauer, sensors detected another warp trail leaving the sector. Then, after recovering the starbase black box, it was discovered a cloaked ship had been in the vacinity before its destruction. It was later determined to be a Klingon cloaking device. Manticore is currently towing the heavily damaged Bauer to another starbase while Engineering and Science teams work together to understand how the Manticore computer was compromised. = /\ = END USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1021, STARDATE 51903.04 = /\ =
