= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1252, STARDATE 52401.08 = starfleet

= The new Manticore-B was set to receive her new PK module after a lengthy shakedown cruise but module was intercepted on its way to Starbase -REDACTED-. Manticore has been sent in to investigate. They found the remains of the tow ship and its crew. Meanwhile, Kansas has been reassigned to Presidential security and during a diplomatic conference on the moon she thwarted an assassination attempt. However, no one knows who he was or how he snuck inside. Faldek and Gila are now a year into an undercover assignment on Cardassia. The purpose of which the crew has not been notified of. They've met up with Edvenent to search for -REDACTED-. However, Cardassian command has seen fit for them to be sent to new assignments and disrupting their undercover mission. Faldek is on a new Dominion shipyard. Gila is at an outpost turned medical facility. And Edvenent is in Cardassia's main military intelligence complex where he just stumbled upon some interesting bit of intel. = starfleet

I'll take one!

::Stands behind his usual chair at Science-1, finishing off the Coffee:: Oooh, I won't say no

Anything awkward on scans?

::Heads towards the door:: I will be outside the door if you need me Mister President

::pours the last two cups for Bren & Annika::

::finishes up his report on the actions of a certain Glinn that he was sent here to investigate::

Thanks!

::puts the coffee carafe and tray back into the replicator with his own stuff:: Absolutely!

Commander Kenickie! Thank you so much for your quick action today. I would be dead if not for you.

James Ryan ( Earth) :: keeping an eye on the President's Front Door Residence ::

:: Has copies of what he found on a cardassian padd as he reads through it in his office at the Intel Compex ::

::Smiles:: Happy I was there to keep you in one piece

:: Taps away at Ops ::

I've still not yet been able to fully identify the alien warp signature. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be in our dataabase of warp signatures.

::reviewing crew medical records, looking for any that need updating::

Thank you kindly, Pilot

:::Steps outside, glances at Ryan:: anything going on

::sips her coffee ::

::checking in with Security Teams while keeping them at heightened status::

:::Looks up at the News on the monitor:: They reporting anything new?

James Ryan ( Earth ) > :: looks to Kansas :: Just background stuff regarding the incident...but they hop right back in to war coverage..and are trying to link the both.

::to Sanchez:: It looks like our trail is starting to dry up. I think we're reaching the end.

:: Is still looking through the information ::

why am I not surprised ::Shakes her head::

Annika, it is our job to always have a better idea.

Sanchez, get ready to drop us out of warp.

::nods:: Yeah I hear you there.

:: She hated being around the Jem'Hadar, but the intel regarding the white could prove useful ::

James Ryan ( Earth) > Given what little they and we know...:: allows a brief shrug :: I can't blame them.

::nods:: Aye sir!

yeah but the guy who I tackled wasn't a changlling

Let's hope we'll able to find something more..

:: Still tapping at Ops ::

ACTION> MANTICORE DROPS OUT OF WARP JUST OUTSIDE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A JUNKYARD

:: Looks up from his console at the view on the view screen ::

:: Doing the drop out of warp checks ::

::Looks at at the space junk on the viewscreen::

::begins tactical scan of the area::

James Ryan ( Earth)> Other worlds might actually welcome the Dominion Ma'am. And be eager to prove their loyalty to their new overlords by trying something like what happened....I have no evidence but we should remain open to the idea.

::raises eyebrow as he reviews records for cetacean ops crewmembers, makes note that they are in need of updating::

:: Looks back down at Ops :: Sir, there is a dampening field is preventing scans.

::Reads some of the farther-reaching scanner feeds::

::looking at his console::

:: Reaches over to his terminal and brings up a secure channel to Faldek and Orrak ::

That's not good.

::walks up the ramp to the science stations:: If you can't scan, I assume that means you can't scan for what's causing the dampening?

::sees the secure communication from Edvenet, opens it, double checking to make sure it is secure::

If its close enough, we can still get a read on it as the source of strong emanations

Alright, Sanchez, bring us in slowly. And try to avoid hitting any of that trash out there.

:: Taps the side of her head to hear the comm :: (edited)

::taps on his console:: I'll try my best Captain.

::Takes a PADD from an ensign, scrolls through the report::

:: Sitting behind his desk, gives Faldek a nod ::+Faldek+ I have some information for you..

::to Sanchez:: Please don't scratch our new ship Petty Officer.

Ryan ( Earth) > :: quitely keeps his eyes open ::

+Orrak, Edvenet+ Oh, what do you have?

::continues reviewing medical records::

:: Goes somewhere less crowded, bumps into a soilder :: "Excuse me, my fault."

Cdr. Faldek/Khott (Cardassia)

+Orrak, Edvenet+ Oh, what do you have?

((If he initiates the comms, it's the EdvenNET))

I am not making any promises... ::grins, as he dodges the junk::

Bren Faliver

((If he initiates the comms, it's the EdvenNET))

((I can't find a forehead slap emoji))

Mr. Sanchez, don't be that guy.

::in the armory doing armory things::

ACTION> SLOWLY, MANTICORE FLIES THROUGH THE DEBRIS FIELD; ON THE VIEWSCREEN THEY CAN SEE WHAT LOOK LIKE REALLY SMALL OUTPOSTS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE FIELD

+ Faldek, Orrak + That mission we've been trying to find information on.... it has just started, they're calling it Project Nebula.. :: He sends a map to Faldek's terminal of a small Nebula that crosses over space the Federation and Cardassian boarder ::

:: Listens ::

:: Taps at Ops, seeing if he can get any scans through the dampening field, looking up at the debris field from time to time ::

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Aha and how can you be sure that this is what we're looking for? What is unique about this Nebula? (edited)

::watches the screen:: I mean it looks like someone has to be out here right? How do we knock on their door?

Broad-band hails?

Pilot, open a hail on all frequencies. See if anyone answers.

9:31 PM

Good thinking, Commander!

:: in engineering monitoring ship systems...::

:: Raises an eyebrow ::

::opens hailing frequencies::

"Tyrel?"

Erich Jaenke

"Tyrel?"

((Don't forget to change your name, Changeling))

Sir? :: looks over her shoulder and turns ::

9:34 PM

( yeah expected shape shifter...eek ! )

::Idly notates a constellation for Annika:: "This one looks like a seahorse"

(sorry)

:::Sends officers on patrol::

((I could change your name but I didn't want to be that guy.

))

Oooh, nice.

(Don't think we need three doctors)

:: Looks down for a moment :: Well, I do not now for sure.... but in the memo with the map is states " Project Nebula has started" and they are refuring to the nebula as the " Collector location "

Bren, are we getting any closer to the source?

::pauses a few seconds:: Yessss.... I'd estimate our course isn't very direct, but the energy levels are slightly increasing over time

CSI Trax> :: A Bolian Commander approaches James Ryan ::

::nods::

:: Doing Ops things ::

::Notes the Bolian approching::

CSI Trax> Mr. Ryan, I am Commander Trax Starfleet CSI. I need to speak with your superior.

::Nods to Trax:: That would be me Commander

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Odd. So it's basically like a staging area...

ACTION> AS MANTICORE PUSHES THROUGH THE DEBRIS FIELD THEY COME ACROSS A MUCH LARGER FACILITY; ESSENTIALLY A SPACE STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD

CSI Trax> Commander Trax, Starfleet CSI. :: shows credentials :: We need to speak in private.

:: Nods :: Exactly..

Would you look at that!

Can we get scans of anything in there?

Of course ::Nods to Ryan:: Keep the door

+Edvenet,Orrak+ But a staging area for what..?

::NOIP:: Are our scanners still not working?

Still pretty much garbage. Visual readings work...

::Points Trax to the side office::: This way

:: Looks up from ops :: Fascinating, such a facility hiding in a debris field...

Ryan (earth) > :: nods ::

9:43 PM

CSI Trax > :: follows Kansas ::

:: Looks at at Faldek :: + Faldek. Orrak + Like for a fleet, or a weapon..

I hope you have good news for me

::notes a few other crewmembers, in addition to the cetaceans, that need updated medical records::

::to anyone on the bridge:: Can we transport over there without scanners?

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Possible, and that's all the information you could find eh?

CSI Trax> Is this office secure?

I don't believe so, but I'll defer to the transporter room

I would suggest shuttling instead.

::scanning the station::

:: Can only listen as there are still other technicians around ::

:: eyebrow raised :: It is possible, sir...but highly dangerous

yes it is... this is my Office.

I wouldn't like to end up in a bulkhead.

+ Faldek, Orrak + So far, yes that is all I can find

That what I was thinking. Pilot, prep a shuttle. We're going over there. Bren, you have the bridge.

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Gila, do you have anything to report? ::saves the chart and everything that Edvenet sent::

::looks at the Captain:: You're coming sir?

::continues her scan of the surrounding vicinity::

+shuttle bay+ Prep Shuttle 2 forthwith.

CSI Trax> Our teams were able to identify the individual who tried to assassinate the President. :: walks over to a monitor and inserts an small PADD ::

Yeah. I need to know what's over there. And you know I'm more than capable with a phaser.

KARL> Captain leaving the ship.... sounds like a great idea to me

See, Karl agrees.

::shakes his head:: I know but I am responsible for you.

+Edvenent+ "I can't really talk now, but the work at this medical center is progression. The white the J'H use has issues, and they are trying to resolve them."

Let's go before I change my mind.

KARL> Does that leave me in command

:: Looks up :: I would tend to agree with Cmdr Pilot, Captain...

::gets into the TL with Pilot:: I'm responsible for me. It's fine.

Is your name Bren, Karl?

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Ok good to know, I will pass this new information to my contact. Anything else?

::Karl:: Of Security, yes. Bridge no.

::Looks at the screen::

CSI Trax> Or I should say the apparent Identity of the Assassin . A weapon, Comlink and credintials of this man were found at the scene of his body. :: shows Mugshot of a human on monitor ::

+ Orrak, Faldek + Nothing else from me.

::in the TL with the Captain:: You knew what I meant. ::shaking his head::

:: Turns back to Ops, checking his readouts :: I have a bad feeling about this..

CSI Trax> This is Lieutenant Junior Grade Ivan Petrovich. Starfleet Security.

Human? do we know his real ID now?

I know the feeling.

If I die, I'll put an astrix next to your condemnation.

+Edvenet, Orrak+ Ok then continue to be safe and vigilant, let me know of anything else you might find out that is of pressing concern.

:: Looks to Sanchez, giving him a shrug ::

::looks at him:: Are you going to do that as a ghost sir?

:: Thinks of a way to sour the milk ::

::shakes his head with a grin::

ACTION> USING PATENTED SUPER FAST SPEED AND A COMMERCIAL BREAK PILOT AND McFLY ARRIVE IN THE SHUTTLE AND ENGAGE IT FOR LIFT OFF

KARL> isn't that what I said?

+ Faldek, Orrak + You be safe and vigilant as well, I'll let you know if anything comes up. :: Ends the communication ::

::sips the dregs of her coffee::

::during said commercial break his AT loadout bag was beamed to the shuttle::

CSI> :: holds his hand in a pausing gesture :: We recovered genetic material of Lt Petrovich on a nearby transporter at Lunar Security. He was murdered.

9:52 PM

CSI Trax> The Assassin Stole his identity after murdering him via transporter tampering.....

transporter scattter.. not a fun way to go

::on the shuttle with Pilot & McFly::

::closes the channel, then begins to prep his report on what he was just told, sending it to his contact in Starfleet, bouncing it around the Alpha Quadrant so as not to be traced back to him::

ACTION> THE SHUTTLE DISEMBARKS AND FLIES OUT TOWARDS THE STATION; THEY LOOK FOR A PORT TO LATCH ONTO WHICH THEY FINALLY DO; THEY CONNECT WITH THE STATION AND FORCE THEIR WAY INSIDE

9:53 PM

((sorry I'm pushing it along; I got myself behind tonight))

:::Takes a closer look at the Mug shot:: So I am guessing he wasn't Human.. had a good tailer

((no worries))

CSI Trax> The individual who assumed Petrovich's identity, and attempted to kill the President...whom you killed... Is an unknown species to the Federation laboratories.

:: Goes to a terminal to look at the molecular makeup of the white ::

::walks with Pilot and the security grunt inside::

Well this is looking okay... ::looking around::

ACTION> INSIDE THE STATION, THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE ENTIRE THING LOOKS TO BE FUNCTIONAL BUT NO ONE AROUND

::Stands up right...:: Unknown?

::looking around phaser rifle out::

:: Needed to get back to Faldek, but not sure how ::

::takes out tricorder:: ...That dampening field is affecting the tricorder too.

CSI Trax> I also passed this information to Starfleet Intelligence.

::scanning with his tricorder::

:: Goes back to looking for information while looking like he is sorting Intel ::

Yup..well let's hope who ever we run into is okay with phasers first and words last.

CSI Trax> I'm sorry Commander Kenickie, but this being is something new to us. I wish We could give you more answers.

Let's see if we can find the command center.

::looks at the Sec Officer:: Six, stun only for now...

::takes our six o'clock::

how am I suppose to protect the President if I don't know what I am looking for?!

::begins searching for this command center::

9:57 PM

((Maybe we'll run into Alpha 5))

::sits back in his chair, pondering this Nebula and what's hidden behind the restricted areas of this shipyard::

:: Scans keep getting jumbled, unable to penetrate the dampening field ::

Lt. Cmdr EJ Pilot

((Maybe we'll run into Alpha 5))

((Ay yi yi!))

9:58 PM

ACTION> THE AWAY TEAM COME ACROSS A LARGE DOOR; IT RESEMBLES THAT OF THE DOORS THAT LEAD TO THE CARGO BAY

CSI Trax> There is a chance...we can learn more from the would be assassin by it's ability to sabotage a Starfleet transporter. Perhaps more assets can be put to use analyzing the murder of Petrovich.

That's a rather large door...may be our command center entrance.

Maybe ::taps some buttons on a nearby padd:: It's funny how even with an alien language, all this technology tends to work the same.

::chuckles::

CSI Trax> Do you know anyone you can bring in to your team that can assist you with that matter?

ACTION> THE DOORS OPEN AND INSIDE IS...

:: She was given access to address the issues with Alpha Quadrant White, and address she would... :::

( sorry folks I have to leave )

ACTION> THE PK MODULE

Ryan is a good man
