= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #1254, STARDATE 52401.22 = 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 were able to track the thiefs to junkyard where they came across a decent sized space station that turned out to be a ship. McFly and Pilot went inside and found the module only to be discovered by the theifs. After a firefight Pilot was jettisoned off the station in his shuttle and McFly was captured. Meanwhile, Kansas has been reassigned to Presidential security and during a diplomatic conference on the moon where she thwarted an assassination attempt. Back on Earth she was sent a weird message simply containing three pictures from someone she trusts. 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 disrupting their undercover mission. Faldek is on a new Dominion shipyard where after some leg work, he's discovered a brand new, and devastating, Dominion ship. Gila is at an outpost turned medical facility. And Edvenent is in Cardassia's main military intelligence complex where he just learned about a "project nebula". And after spending too much time trying to find more information, he's now in danger of being discovered. = starfleet

ACTION> KANSAS GETS A PRIORITY MESSAGE FROM ADMIRAL JAFFEE TO MEET HER ON EARTH SPACEDOCK IMMEDIATELY

::in sickbay, tending to some injured crewmembers::

::continues heading back the way he came in::

::steps behind Annika:: How's it going? As the Admiral said, reclaiming the weapon has to be our first priority, but with any luck we can rescue two birds with one net.

::Checks her messages:: Crackers

:: Taps away at Ops ::

James Ryan (Earth) > ::Near the President's door on guard::

As well as can be. We're trying to isolate those warp signatures to see if we can get more of a trail.

Hey! ::spots Faldek:: Hey you!!! Stop! (edited)

Frickin... ::stops:: Can I help you?

::Looks at Ryan:: you are incharge while I am away

::hears Bren:: They are both on the station, ship..sir.

James Ryan ( Earth) > :: looks at Kenickie :: Says who?

For now, and hopefully for awhile. Thank you, Annika, keep at it, we need a route as soon as possible (as you know). ::Heads back down toward The Chair::

While I am away keep a close eye on the guy will ya

:: Hears noises from outside the door, looks around the office quickly and slips inside the small closet ::

::nods and continues to work with the cetacean crew to crunch the numbers::

Who are you. You're not supposed to be in here.

::Reviews recent status reports as quickly as possible, trying to focus on problems/deficiencies/broken parts he might need to consider for the trip ahead::

James Ryan ( Earth) > I will that is my job. The question is, what is your job. Maybe wherever you are going...you will come to a decision.

If I'm not supposed to be in here, why am I in here? The access points are all secured.

:: Working in Manticore's engineering ::

::looks to Bren as he went back to the chair:: Did you have questions about what happened over there?

::Grabs a phaser and a tric::: maybe I will

:: Is looking around outside the office, for any signs of tampering with the door ::

:: Checking various Jem'Hadar soldiers and their acclaimation to alpha quadrant white ::

::looks Faldek up and down; trying to figure out logic:: Let me see some ID.

Many, but I'm not sure anyone has the answers ::thin smile::. Do you recall anything about the people or their ships which might help Annika chart their path, help us recover the PK module and Captain, or help us win at Jeopardy?

James Ryan ( Earth ) > :: grins briefly :: Good luck...oh and do say farewell to your charge..He's going to miss you.

:::halsters phaser and tric, enters transporter room::

::runs dermal regenerator over patient's burns::

::shows a digital ID with Khott's name and his photo, listed as Bureau of Competance and Duty:: I'm conducting an investigation.

::Sighs Shimmers over to the spacedock::

::using his big orca brain to analyse and isolate the signature:: Hmm.. carry the vun... ja. Let's see if we can triangulate a pathvay.

James Ryan ( Earth) > Hmmm...another Day Commander. Another day.

::to Bren:: So we were not aware of any ships out here while onboard the station. All we knew was our comms were blocked as we searched looking for a console after finding the PK module. Then there was a security contingent that appeared. We were together then I got attacked and the Captain decided to be his heroic self and got caught in the process.

::helps triangulate, plotting the pathway on a large aqua holo screen::

::Spots Jaffee's hair right away. Heads towrds her location::

:: hmms a peaceful tune as she runs a diagnostic on some power relays ::

::sniffs as he reads the ID; grunts a little:: What kind of investigation? I wasn't told about anyone else being in here tonight.

When he gets back, he's not leaving again except for shore leave and when his present is needed in front of the brass. ::shakes his head::

Were the security crew all the same species?

:: Walks along the hallway, checking the doors to other offices ::

My investigation is above your paygrade. Escort me to the shipyard's commander. We'll get this settled.

::isolating the mismash of alien tech the ships seemed to have::

Admiral Jaffee... Sir

:: thinking:: There was a big guy, not sure of his species.

::sees Gila walking and goes to catch up:: F!... Doctor Orrak. It is good to see you again.

::shuts off dermal regenerator, checks patient's vitals again with medical tricorder::

How big? Klingon big, or bigger?

Gorn big.

::grunts again; points his rifle at Faldek:: Let's go, hands where I can see them. I'm taking you to the station commander.

You point that weapon at me again and you're gonna be wishing you didn't... ::heads off to the commander::

::stands as Kansas shows up:: Commander, please, have a seat.

:: Turns :: "Oh yes, it has been too long. How are your men?"

:::Takes a seat, uncomfortable::

Gorn big. That's... well, big. Do you think they were Gorn, or have reason to think they were not-Gorn?

::growls; then slowly lowers his weapon as Faldek's head is turned away::

::overhears. oooh, gorn::

:: Remains quiet in the closet ::

::to Bren:: I am not sure. There is a lot of moving parts here. Based on what happened out here I am guessing we set off some kind of silent alarm...maybe?

OK. Let's hope they are not-Gorn, unless the Captain desires to host a clutch of their eggs or whatnot. I hear it's not a pleasant death.

:: Taps the door control and pokes his head inside the office, glancing around as the second guard pokes around the other offices ::

::nods:: When we find him, I will have an assault security ready. (edited)

::takes a deep breath:: Commander, we have a problem. 16 hours ago ((very rough estimate, I don't want to calculate it all)) the USS Manticore-B was preparing to receive the new PK module after a lengthy shakedown cruise. The module was stolen on its way to station -REDACTED-.

Yes, that does sound unpleasant (edited)

::Double blinks:: Station _ is classified

::still holding his PADD, as he's walking::

Do we know who Stole it

::nods that patient's vitals are satisfactory and clears them to return to duty; heads to next patient::

:: Sees padd's on the floor in one of the offices that Edvenet had been in eariler :: Over here!

::looks to Bren:: I am sorry I put you in this situation. I should have kept a better eye on him. But I am confident in your leadership and my resilience to get the Captain. I have a mek'leth slice with that big guy's name on it. He literally power kicked me into the shuttle. Dishonorable P'TaQ!

No we don't. An investigation is currently underway but they've hit a snag. That's where you come in.

::Glances around to see who is around them and who isn't::

I'm sure you did the best you could, the Captain isn't an easy charge to guard. Perhaps you should be thankful he kicked you into the shuttle, all things considered... ::sighs deeply::

::calls guard post chief on his way who in turn calls up the station commander::

::Checks with Annika:: I don't mean to hound, I'm just very anxious and have no outlet. Anything, yet? Even a generic direction we could start heading toward?

((You and Jaffee are inside an office))

::nods:: I'll be at Tactical..

Where do you need me?

::moves to Tactical, to start coordinating the assault teams for when we find the Captain:: (edited)

One thought, Pilot? How many heavy assault squads can we form at one time?

::escorts Faldek into the station commander's office::

I think we have a general idea of a warp signature. We'll probably need to work with engineering, or someone with more experience in alien warp tech but yes, we have a faint trail heading at a bearing of 130 x 58.

::Taps away at ops::

::steps up to the desk, prepping his PADD::

::walks with Gila:: They are doing well. We don't usually receive medical treatment. Their wounds are... healing.

I can send it over to helm, it doesn't go too, too far but it's a start.

As many as we need.

Absolutely, Helm set course to Annika's heading, Warp 3, We'll speed up when we get more specific.

:: walks over to the small engineering replicator to get some caf ::

::Hands her PADD over to Jaffee with the Photos on it::: I recieved this message from a secure source

This upsets me to say this, we don't have many leads or options. I need you to find this module. I know you have contacts who might be able to offer some kind of lead on this. I can't emphasize how important it is this module not fall into enemy hands.

::fowards the coordinates over to helm::

::starts treating a crewmember with a fractured wrist::

::looks over the photos closely:: I don't undertand, what does all of this mean?

I believe I know better then other how important this Module is

Alright, I think I want one squad to prepare with a technical team for retrieving the PK Module. +Erich+ Other-Chief, we're making preparations for 'the next away mission', could you ask for a few volunteers from Engineering who might enjoy the idea of a little danger, going in behind the Heavy Assault team?

::nods:: I will make it so.

I think someone in house is behind this module being taken

((It's probably Commodore Oh))

:: returns with her Caf to the Main Engineering Table and begins surveying diagnostic analysis from new filtration devices in the Cetaceans habitat ::

::Clears her PADD:: I have an idea on where to start off

::sighs; looks at Kansas:: I have feared this to be an inside job as well. Something like this can't be taken so easily.

::eating a large salmom as he continues his work::

Thank you, Pilot. Please equip the engineers with whatever defensive 'or other' equipment you deem appropriate for their training and responsibilities. They probably don't have great aim, so I imagine more defensive... but I ramble. You know what to do. ::hopes his words of confidence reassure Pilot he didn't screw up::

:: Puts his ear to the closet door ::

I am giving you full authority to get the job done. If you need help with clearances let me know.

Where is McFly heading to track them down on his end

Cardassian Officer> :: arrives in room where Edvenent is hiding ::

::patiently waiting for the commander to show up::

(test)

Dr. Gila Orrak

(test)

((Ack))

:: hears footsteps in the office ::

::Stands up:: I don't want double the effort in the same location

Glinn Jenim Tenek> :: the Female Glinn looks around the room surveying the guards looking around:: Report!!!

Captain McFly is... ::stops herself:: McFly and Manticore are heading up a lead. It's small but it's the only one we have.

"You say that with hesitation. Has there been some kind of change in Federation weapons?"

::nods::

:::nods:: I will need a shuttle and a rifle... that was full clearance correct?

You have access to anything you need.

::applies hypospray for pain then works on repairing wrist::

aye aye admiral, wish me luck

:: Hears Glinn Tenek, stays quiet ::

::walks in to his office with Faldek and the guard in there:: Mister Khott. I believe I already told you that section of the station was off limits to you!

::scoffs:: Tolda ya.

:::Hurries out of the office and runs down the docking bay::

Do you want the guards to be here for this?

1

I hope you have more than luck, commander.

::Yells at the docking guard until they give her someone else's shuttle::

Mister Khott, I would calm your bravado if I were you. Your unauthorized access into that hanger is a serious offense.

:: Looks up from searching the desk :: Glinn Tenek, we found some Padds on the floor by the desk.... it appears someone has been going through the files in here.

+Security+ Heavy Assault & Assault Teams .. assemble.

Glinn Tenek> :: observes the desk...then the PADDs on the floor she extends he hand and drags her gloved index finger on the desk as if looking for dust ::

+Pilot+ Acknowledged.

::Adjusts course and heads to New Zealand::

:: Steps back from the desk ::

:: Stands by the door ::

Ok. ::sets a PADD on the table:: I found the access codes for the restricted area on an unsecured PADD belonging to you. I guess I'll just have to report this oversight and lack of security mindedness. I wonder how high command would react. (edited)

((Edvenent and Glinn Tenek are not in the same place as Faldek, right?)) (edited)

:: Holds his breath ::

Not that I have noticed. We just don't usually receive medical treatment. We usually don't need it. But we're also usually left for dead. As much of an honor as it is to die for the Dominion, it's still... pleasant, is the word? To continue to fight as well.

Bren Faliver

((Edvenent and Glinn Tenek are not in the same place as Faldek, right?)) (edited)

(( Correct, Edvenet is in the Intel Complex ))

Bren Faliver

((Edvenent and Glinn Tenek are not in the same place as Faldek, right?)) (edited)

((Correct))

"The White is not a miracle compound. Healing is part of their genetic makeup, but no white or poor quality can change them from an asset to a dire liability."

:::Scans the area and adjust course::

::Thinking outloud to Annika and Pilot:: OK... we have an assault team to retrieve the Captain, we have an assault team with engineers to retrieve the PK Module. Annika is refining our course forward. What haven't I thought of?

:::Lands shuttle close to the house:::

Glin Tenek> :: ponders the situation :: Guards....It appears we have a Vole problem again.

::sighs and grabs the padd; gets angry:: Where did you get this?!

:: listens::

Make sure Sanchez took his anti burping meds.

:: Looks at Tenek :: Voles, again?

::small chuckle::

::turns and looks at Pilot:: I did! I promise!!

::Pop the hatch, notes the door is open, grabs her weapon::

Kansas Kenickie (Earth)

::Pop the hatch, notes the door is open, grabs her weapon::

((I imagine Kansas digging up a floor board in a backroom and pulling up a case with a very fancy rifle and a bunch of unusual gold coins...))

The white is all they give us. We're soldiers, expendable. Surely you know ths.

:: Looks down at the floor :: How, we had those pests taken care of!

KARL> Make sure Sanchez take his farting med too (edited)

Glin Tenek>:: to the guards :: I want this room sealed. No one else is to enter once we leave. Then I shall inform Base Command to begin Aeresol treatment in the vents again...It will kill anything in there.....

::thinks about popping Karl upside the head::

Does it matter, it was on an unsecured device. Now what if I wasn't in the position I am in, snooping around, and found these codes. Oh just imagine what could have happened. So now your security personnel know of your incompetence, should my bosses be made aware too?

Glinn Tenek> :: gestures for the guards to exit the room ::

::Kicks the door open the rest of the way::

:: Eyes widen for a second as he listens ::

:: Leaves the room::

::growls a bit; eyes Faldek/Khott; walks off back into the other room::

:: Leaves as well ::

"We are trying to improve the white and boost healing. Nothing revolutionary mind you."

::Pokes her head in, scans the room::

Glinn Tenek> :: withdraws her service weapon.....and in a quick motion....peaks under the table., as if looking for a vole ::

::has an impeccable poker face:: (edited)

::Enters the living room, checks Tric for people.. keeps phaser at the ready::

:: peaks through the crack in the closet door ::

Glinn Tenek> I swear I will kill you all...then I will get my promotion..!!! ::: stands and exits the room with haste....securing the door ::

::runs medical tricorder over patient's wrist::

That would be most appreciated to everyone. We value our ability to fight for the Dominion as long as we can. As it is, we are being taught how to operate new technology in our quest to destroy the Federation. It's been difficult but rewarding.

:: Pushes the closet door open :: Damn...

:::Starts going through the room looking for it's owner::

:: quickly moves to the back of the office, looking for a vent or service hatch ::

::comes back:: Someone is looking out for you Khott, you're not being sent to the detention facility. But maybe almost worse, you're being sent back to Cardassia, to meet with Legate Damar. ::smiles fiendishly::

Glinn Tenek> :: taps a Com Panel Nearby :: Environmental...Execute Vole Extermination protocol...on this office.. Authorization Tenek.

Maybe you're luck will continue and you do get sent to the detention facility instead of whatever he plans for you.

::Checks the panic room, then moves about looking for clues or direction::

::nods that patient is cleared to return to duty, looks around sickbay and notices no remaining patients::

Glinn Tenek> Remain here :: to guards :: I must file a report. :: the attractive Cardassian officer departs for other duties ::

Ah, Damar and I go way back. We came up together under Dukat. Keep your passcodes secure in the future. This is the only time I'll be this forgiving. Good day, Dal.

:: Kneels down by a service hatch, its a bit stuck, but he manages to force it open, just in time to crawl into the service crawl space, shutting it behind himself ::

That would be most appreciated to everyone. We value our ability to fight for the Dominion as long as we can. As it is, we are b...

Yes ma'am.

You better be.

Alright, bring us out of warp for a bit while we consider our next plans.

nothing from me

TBS will be 4 hours. Kansas is off checking her lead, Faldek is back on Cardassia, Ed is lying low for the moment, manticore figuring out their next move.

10:05 PM

Questions or comments?

10:05 PM

Bren?

I've forgotten something. Was Glinn Tenek introduced before? If Khott is a Gul, doesn't he outrank the shipyard commander? Completely lost why Gila is healing Dominion soldiers who are fighting the Federation Is Kansas saying a name (Chip), referring to an item, or declaring a verb...?

a name

1

I thought KK was swinging by her home for stuff, so when she killed a guy I was verrrrrrry confused lol

Tenek was first made tonight as a guard hunting Ed. Khott would outrank him except as a efficiency inspector he doesn't have much reign when it comes to super secret places.

1

Captain McFly

Tenek was first made tonight as a guard hunting Ed. Khott would outrank him except as a efficiency inspector he doesn't have much reign when it comes to super secret places.

wait that Department of Duty is efficiency?! Hah, I thought it was more like Internal Affairs or something spooky

I made it up.

1

Spies have to play the part

For some reason, and this happens in a lot of contexts not just the sim, when something new is introduced I think I've missed past information heh

Think of it like the Office of Professional Responsibility for the US Government or like an Internal Affairs department.

Gila is on a Cardi outpost turned medical outpost for Jem'Hadar because, as seen on DS9, the dominion back up coming through the wormhole got deleted by the prophets so they have no reinforcements and breed facilities have just gotten online.

10:09 PM

And yeah, chip is a name

I also didn

10:10 PM

't go home

Ok, so Gila isn't going traitor on us... but Fifth YourMama isn't hiding his purpose either?

Some stuff I don't think I gave context too except for those playing the parts.

I went to Chip;s home. Jaffee sent me on a mission

1

This particular posting would give someone access to all levels of government offices and facilities

1

OK, thanks everyone, I'm piecing it all together now

Gila has gained his confidence. After all, "they're on the same side".

Ahhhhh, I see I see

and why can't I kill someone in my own home?!

You'd be the one to have to clean up?

1

You CAN, I'd just expect the context to be different lol. Was Chip the guy you killed?

nope

No, the bad guy was just a bad guy. I had planned for a more dramatic fight scene but lost time.

Well if your home is in West Virginia or Florida I don't see why not but if it was Maryland you'd have some 'splaining to do lol

1

Captain McFly

You'd be the one to have to clean up?

I think you would be the one cleaning up after me

Hey, I'm captured, I can't clean jack

10:13 PM

Alright, any more questions?

TBS?

4 hrs

4 hours

There's refreshments in the green room.

If nothing else, I declare this sim... exhausting... DISMISSED!!!

Fruit bar?

lol goodnight

Indeed.

10:14 PM

Night all.

Coincidentally, "fruit bar" was my nickname in college.

::head off to the green room::

Goodnight and good week all yall
