[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Hey."
B'Atar@anncarise salutes Sadia as she approaches, "Captain."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods back* Good day folks.
Egzo@HF_Mudd is nomming on a targ-bacon sammich while he waits for others to show.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *a smell of a chicken-themed stew is wafting from a bit pot on the table, Sadia's plate looks like it was used already*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *big
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *burps satisfyingly* That was good.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *more unused plates and utensils are sorted on the table near the stew*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: You should try it, courtesy of my ex.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "The hew-mon, ya mean? Wossis, Toww?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Yeah, Tau. I had to jump there to pick up all the folks that went on shore leave anyway.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I miss his cooking. But it's not nearly enough to defect just for that! *chuckles*
Egzo@HF_Mudd snorts.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Sit, and grab some! It's not poisoned, I swear!
B'Atar@anncarise | An Orion steps into the room, wearing a similar uniform to Mysti but without the tiara and with a single-layered long shoulderpad. Her hair is worn differently, though she bears the brand of -
Egzo@HF_Mudd shrugs, and has a seat.
B'Atar@anncarise - the Tabadi's fesin.
Egzo@HF_Mudd sits in a chair.
Egzo@HF_Mudd starts spooning out some stew for himself.
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "Hello, Captain Sadia."
B'Atar@anncarise eyes the new Orion as she grabs a seat and some food.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Naw, he wasn't the kind to poison anyone. So soft, so... 'hew-mon'."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Well met, delbaj. How's the day treating you?
Egzo@HF_Mudd snorts again, finishing his business with the stewpot while the boss lady greets the newcomer.
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "It's been a fine day. I have a good feeling about this chase we're going on. I'd like to apologize for the Tabadi not meeting you in person, she's tied up in a holocall with the -
B'Atar@anncarise - Tabadi's Circle."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Understandable. Hope things are going well for the OSN?
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "It's all proceeding smoothly. We've seen some promising results on that new ship that's being developed, and our resource base is growing bigger every day!"
Egzo@HF_Mudd observes around a mouthful of stew - which IS pretty good - "I got some idea how it is, gettin' somethin' like that goin'. All meetin's and calls and paddwork..."
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "No news on the Branded Lady front unfortunately, but that means we got our hands free to deal with these Breen at the moment."
Egzo@HF_Mudd grumbles, chews, etc.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I'm looking forward to see this new ship of yours in action.
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "Me too! We get plenty of paperwork...but that new ship can really punch! At least the salvaged deflector they got can really punch."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Anyone seen Alyss?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Na' me."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Nope. Got a new cannon replacement for San'leth though. Didn't need Breen tech this time, just good old Klingon disruptor."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Still got the Breen beams, so the bird's back up to full strength now."
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods approvingly.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Good! So you folks are ready to head out?
B'Atar@anncarise nods, "Aye. Let's blow up some more Breen!"
Egzo@HF_Mudd mms and stands.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: See you in space then.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= Daramar here. We've analyzed that signal that was emitted from that drone outpost. The target was somewhere within an uncharted system some 5.2 LY to galactic NW from here.
B'Atar@anncarise fizzles into existance as a hologram, "Uncharted, eh? Let's hope there's more shellbug aliens to conquer...."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "That'd be a fun way t' spend an afternoon. Maybe this bunch'll have somethin' worth taking..."
Egzo@HF_Mudd idly gives the orders to set course, etc, letting the boss lady on Daramar take the lead.
B'Atar@anncarise chuckles, "Here's hoping."
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj pops in over the holoprojector as well.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= Well, good portion of this area is largely uncharted, so we are going in blind.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "That's what cloaks is for."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= That's right. We are going in silent.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= All ship, engage stealth devices and warp on my mark. Mark.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "I promise not to attract a swarm of drones this time. Cloaks activated."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Massive battlecruiser cloaks and engages warp.
B'Atar@anncarise | OSN Delbaj: "Signal masking online. Heat emission at minimum. Engaging warp core."
B'Atar@anncarise FX | The cloaked San'leth goes to warp, followed by the much larger Thana.
B'Atar@anncarise * signature masking (I think)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I After almost 12 hours of uninterrupted travel, ships jump out of warp at the edge of the system. Basic scans show an orange dwarf star, and a single gas giant. A strong energy signature is -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - detected in the orbit of the gas giant.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "That energy signature, might be what we're looking for."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) "One way t' find out."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) "Hag'lhr's goin' in for a look. Those of ya with no cloaks, hang back."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= We are covering you, Hag'lhr.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Yeah...think I'll take watch after last time..." she chuckles
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: What the... Ha! Oh, you gotta hear this... patching it through.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) They're broadcastin' this in the clear, one sec... there.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Everyone receives a message - video and audio feed of strange red hairless alien, that in a best manner of TV salesman, advertises Obadin Combine's products which range from-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - household appliances to starship warp drives - reliable and affordable, with 2 year guarantee!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) If 'is lobes were a bit bigger, might make a decent Ferengi.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Signal originates from the previously detected energy signature.
B'Atar@anncarise laughs, (C) "Aye! So we're looking at some kind of trading post? Or maybe that's a cryptic spy signal or something..."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "I've heard stories of spies using common frequencies and messages to hide messages."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= Hm, we're running it though with our signal analysis, but so far, nothing. Not even usual malware crap ferengi try to sneak in.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Might just be a trading post then. Why would the signal lead us here?"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Good question.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: =C= Guess it's time to find out.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) So, whaddya think... sneak around the back side of the GG, drop cloaks and come out all friendly?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Could go bad if they aren't friendly. Maybe Daramar should stay under cloak."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) Maybe not a- what she said.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "If things go bad, we got a surprise for them," she smirks.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) How about just Thana, then?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Let 'em see the one they can't NOT see.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Shlaak: Boss, I've done some sensor sweeps. This place is busy, lots of warp signatures, many unknown. But I managed to isolate weak breen warp trail.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Wait one.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Comin' or goin'?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Shlaak: Some 72 hours old, at least, can't tell for sure but looks like they were incoming
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Hm. They /might/ still be here... or someone here mighta seen 'em. Sold 'em somethin'."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Yeah. No Breen ships registering on sensors, though?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) Nothing yet.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "And no outbound trails."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) Hard to confirm from here.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "If someone tows a ship away, the trails'll be that of the one doing the towing, right?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) Unless the towed ship is leaking radiation to mess up the trail, yes.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "They could've snuck away using another ship. Or well, got pawned. Only one way to find out."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "I got an insane idea..."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "If I were hiding Breen on my station that looks like they just got out of a rough fight, I sure won't tell just anybody about where they're hiding."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "But San'leth registers partly as Breen tech. And we still got that suit of Breen power armour..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) You GOTTA be kiddin' me.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Yeah, it's probably gonna go horribly wrong..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) I gotta see this.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) *ahems* Erm, proceed as you see fit.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Oh you're actually letting me do it. Well this is gonna be fun..."
B'Atar@anncarise flickers and disappears for a moment.
B'Atar@anncarise reappears in Breen armour, "Yeah...I definitely look better in KDF uniform."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Got me covered?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) We are keeping watch!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Excellent."
Egzo@HF_Mudd rolls his eyes, grumbles, and settles back in his command chair to wait for the inevitable distress call for extraction.
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth decloaks and slowly cruises towards the signature.
B'Atar@anncarise opens hailing frequencies.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Comm signal gets stronger and soon sensor show a large space station in the high orbit of the gas giant.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: http://svsh-game.com/alexcatamo/portfolio/sb.jpg
B'Atar@anncarise scans the station and tries to raise it on comms.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Station has no shields raised, but it's thick plating makes scanning it's insides troublesome. There's at least dozen vessels of local species docked at this moment. No breen on sight,
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Your hail is soon answered and on the screen appears an image of...
[Fleet] Plott DeVice@gulremal: damn egzo alt tab back
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: Awww I don't even have team invite privileges!
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I A face of an alien appears on the screen.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (Was dealing with grease from the bacon I made earlier.)
[Fleet] Mysti@crystyll: (*pokes head in the door*)
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Greetings esteemed visitors! Welcome to the Crossroad Terminal 5! I am Machinist Darquan, your operator. How can I help you?
Mysti@crystyll was here all along. honest.
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (seriously, sorry for missing so much just kinda had to see that through!)
B'Atar@anncarise stands in full Breen armour, translator turned on to transform her voice into the signature tone of the Breen as she replies, "Xeno. I am looking for my people."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Your people? Could you please specify, we've got a lot of visitors on a daily basis.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *seems to be quickly working on his computer while talking*
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "I don't imagine many of my people would visit a pathetic installation like this. I detect their incoming signature, but I cannot raise them. You will tell me if they are on board, alien."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "And if they are alive. Which I hope for your sakes they are."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I Station scans San'leth.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Please wait, gathering necessary data...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) *tapping on the computer* I can confirm a vessel of similar construction did use our services, but they left a (translation: 29.3 hours) ago.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) They did not leave any outgoing route information or messages.
B'Atar@anncarise scans again for an exiting warp trail now that the San'leth is close.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Repair services, I presume?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) I'm sorry, that information isn't accesible as they invoked anonimity clause regarding all services rendered.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Even to their own people?"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C, to B'Ata, txt only) Its business
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "And even if we're willing to purchase such information?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Moment...patching you to station administrator.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Do not test my patience."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I Operator image vahishes and PLEASE WAIT image appears.
B'Atar@anncarise is tempted to bombard the station with torpedoes
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I 20 seconds later, another alien shows up.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Xeno. You will tell me where my people have gone?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) High Machinist Havarigga here, station administator. That information is not for sale.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "What about the services they used?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Your request is unusual. But no, I can't provide you that information. If those customers wanted this information be available to rest of their people, they would tell us so.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Very well. I will have a word with this crew when I find them. The Breen Confederacy notes your cooperation."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Have productive day. Do you need any services perhaps. Repairs, refueling, space parts?
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *have a
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *spare
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "We are not as desperate as our compatriates to require your services, alien."
B'Atar@anncarise cuts comms after giving the Breen a bad name.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Hey, everyone, check /this/ out. *relays sensor feed of docked vessel resembling Tholian scout*
B'Atar@anncarise FX | The San'leth turns and heads out of sensor range before cloaking.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Remember these guys?
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: "Ooh. Not seen those guys around in forever!" she chuckles
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Wait...gotte be kidding me. Is this Guardian tech?
B'Atar@anncarise removes her Breen translation program, "Much better. Huh, is that...what the captain said..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Scans right.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Well, we know the Breen were here, and they used some kind of service, probably repairs before going off."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) *muttering* All right. Mysti, you there?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Don't know if Guardian tech is connected or not, but they seemed to want to cover up whatever they did on the station."
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: "(C) We're here
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Annoying as it is, I do admire these people for keeping their promises to their clients. Better than Ferengi."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) We need to gather and pay the visit to this station. We'll use Thana as the approach vector, so to speak.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Right. So, the original plan.
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (C) Understood
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) I send a message to Alyss to come here ASAP. In the meantime, we'll scan the outer system for outgoing breen warp signals.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *I sent
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (C) I'm sure she'll be along in no time. Not like her to miss a party after all!"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: well, you know they left more than a day ago, so they were here and scanning more diligently around the place might yield results
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Excellent. We meet at Thana in 30 minutes.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Let me change out of this armour..."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
B'Atar@anncarise salutes Sadia as she approaches, "Captain."

[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "But San'leth registers partly as Breen tech. And we still got that suit of Breen power armour..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) You GOTTA be kiddin' me.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Yeah, it's probably gonna go horribly wrong..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) I gotta see this.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) *ahems* Erm, proceed as you see fit.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Oh you're actually letting me do it. Well this is gonna be fun..."
B'Atar@anncarise flickers and disappears for a moment.
B'Atar@anncarise reappears in Breen armour, "Yeah...I definitely look better in KDF uniform."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Got me covered?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: (C) We are keeping watch!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Excellent."
Egzo@HF_Mudd rolls his eyes, grumbles, and settles back in his command chair to wait for the inevitable distress call for extraction.
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth decloaks and slowly cruises towards the signature.
B'Atar@anncarise opens hailing frequencies.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Comm signal gets stronger and soon sensor show a large space station in the high orbit of the gas giant.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: http://svsh-game.com/alexcatamo/portfolio/sb.jpg
B'Atar@anncarise scans the station and tries to raise it on comms.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Station has no shields raised, but it's thick plating makes scanning it's insides troublesome. There's at least dozen vessels of local species docked at this moment. No breen on sight,
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: FX I Your hail is soon answered and on the screen appears an image of...
[Fleet] Plott DeVice@gulremal: damn egzo alt tab back
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: Awww I don't even have team invite privileges!
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I A face of an alien appears on the screen.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (Was dealing with grease from the bacon I made earlier.)
[Fleet] Mysti@crystyll: (*pokes head in the door*)
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Greetings esteemed visitors! Welcome to the Crossroad Terminal 5! I am Machinist Darquan, your operator. How can I help you?
Mysti@crystyll was here all along. honest.
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (seriously, sorry for missing so much just kinda had to see that through!)
B'Atar@anncarise stands in full Breen armour, translator turned on to transform her voice into the signature tone of the Breen as she replies, "Xeno. I am looking for my people."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Your people? Could you please specify, we've got a lot of visitors on a daily basis.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *seems to be quickly working on his computer while talking*
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "I don't imagine many of my people would visit a pathetic installation like this. I detect their incoming signature, but I cannot raise them. You will tell me if they are on board, alien."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "And if they are alive. Which I hope for your sakes they are."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I Station scans San'leth.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Please wait, gathering necessary data...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) *tapping on the computer* I can confirm a vessel of similar construction did use our services, but they left a (translation: 29.3 hours) ago.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) They did not leave any outgoing route information or messages.
B'Atar@anncarise scans again for an exiting warp trail now that the San'leth is close.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Repair services, I presume?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) I'm sorry, that information isn't accesible as they invoked anonimity clause regarding all services rendered.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Even to their own people?"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C, to B'Ata, txt only) Its business
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "And even if we're willing to purchase such information?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Moment...patching you to station administrator.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Do not test my patience."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I Operator image vahishes and PLEASE WAIT image appears.
B'Atar@anncarise is tempted to bombard the station with torpedoes
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: FX I 20 seconds later, another alien shows up.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Xeno. You will tell me where my people have gone?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) High Machinist Havarigga here, station administator. That information is not for sale.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "What about the services they used?"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Your request is unusual. But no, I can't provide you that information. If those customers wanted this information be available to rest of their people, they would tell us so.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Very well. I will have a word with this crew when I find them. The Breen Confederacy notes your cooperation."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Have productive day. Do you need any services perhaps. Repairs, refueling, space parts?
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *have a
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *spare
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "We are not as desperate as our compatriates to require your services, alien."
B'Atar@anncarise cuts comms after giving the Breen a bad name.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Hey, everyone, check /this/ out. *relays sensor feed of docked vessel resembling Tholian scout*
B'Atar@anncarise FX | The San'leth turns and heads out of sensor range before cloaking.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Remember these guys?
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: "Ooh. Not seen those guys around in forever!" she chuckles
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Wait...gotte be kidding me. Is this Guardian tech?
B'Atar@anncarise removes her Breen translation program, "Much better. Huh, is that...what the captain said..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Scans right.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Well, we know the Breen were here, and they used some kind of service, probably repairs before going off."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) *muttering* All right. Mysti, you there?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Don't know if Guardian tech is connected or not, but they seemed to want to cover up whatever they did on the station."
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: "(C) We're here
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Annoying as it is, I do admire these people for keeping their promises to their clients. Better than Ferengi."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) We need to gather and pay the visit to this station. We'll use Thana as the approach vector, so to speak.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (C) Right. So, the original plan.
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (C) Understood
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) I send a message to Alyss to come here ASAP. In the meantime, we'll scan the outer system for outgoing breen warp signals.
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: *I sent
[Local] Mysti@crystyll: (C) I'm sure she'll be along in no time. Not like her to miss a party after all!"
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: well, you know they left more than a day ago, so they were here and scanning more diligently around the place might yield results
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: (C) Excellent. We meet at Thana in 30 minutes.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (C) "Let me change out of this armour..."
[Local] Plott DeVice@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
