For Frogue’s scans nothing immediately came back as a possible target, there were two systems near by both with class M moons but neither one stood out as the likely target yet.

“Captain the Scans show two M class moons but nothing seems to stand out as a target. Orders sir?”

Frogue

”..Understood Lieutenant, keep scanning for clues..” Drudoc said.

“S…sorry captain But it will be about an hour or so before we can go to warp…they have stolen two of our plasma flow regulators I will get a team on it right away I will be down in Engineering.” she said getting up she was starting to feel better but still clearly haunted from what she encountered still she headed to the Turbolift to go down to engineering

Miz’uki

”..Get it done right but as quickly as possible, Lieutenant..” Drudoc said to Miz’uki, letting her get to work.

Catt watched Tel’eck go releasing the girls hand as she did so she gave a small wave to the girl then turned back to the main veiwer. “If we can lock onto a ion trail we could set a probe to track them.” she suggested in Lt Frogues direction then moved over to join him .

Arthur began the scans both to check for boarders and for the ship, running through various EM frequencies for possible cloaking device dust trails.

Arthur Jones, Son of Ruk

No signs of intruders were present nor other unknown signatures, they seemed to be free of boarders for now. Tracking ion trails turned up negative after a light year as the cloaking devices old as they were still masked their signatures. Still giving their heading there were two possible systems they could proceed towards as mentioned earlier with Frogue.

“You’re not going to find any trails if they’re cloaked, Ensign.” Lieutenant Commander Trainor said. “We can try to spot any subspace variances or sensor echoes… but if they’re too far away, I don’t want us to waste time by running in circles.”

Trainor

”..Agreed, try to extrapolate their heading for possible systems or outposts until we can get warp back up and running.” Drudoc said.

Guy looked unpowered the situation and sighed “that’s why I hate romulans!” He commented whispering “Captain, I should state again that Miz’uki is not suitable for work. She should get treatment.” He objected insistently making his usual cold hearted face.

Drudoc glanced to the CNS, “..Counselor perhaps you might explain what your hatred of Romulans has to do with our current situation? Given it was Orion pirates who attacked and kidnapped our crew members?” The Romulan CO asked.

Lieutenant Freeman, Guy - Chief Counselor Officer

Guy looked away, almost annoyed by his captain. Then as he looked at his Commanding Officer he barely used a questionable tone, grinning and letting out the words out “nothing special. Had some “bad” experience with romulans once. I thought about them and compared their idiotic behavior to attack the “mighty” federation similar to those ones who wiped out my entire away team once.” they never made it home he thought chuckling

”..I see, I will trust that you will keep such hatred in check and your attitude professional in your duties, given there is a small but notable population of Romulan and Reman refugees that serve aboard the Ark Angel having left the Star Empire since Hobus..” She said.

Catt bristled and looked over at the man. She was absolutely shocked that he said what he said. She found herself at a loss for words. But it wasn’t her job to deal with social issues. But right then and there considering her previous encounter with the man she came to the conclusion it hadn’t been a bad day. The man actually was a socially inept psychopath with worse manners than a angry Tellerite. It took her a moment but she recovered enough to realise she wasn’t going to be any help here. Her specialties were elsewhere. “I’ll return to my alert station now sir”, she said softly to the CSO, and headed for the turbolift.

“If you don’t need me, as I see, you can find me probably around the medbay to check hypospray’s solutions and playing around with tricorders and medical charts. Maybe I can lean a hand to my favorite CMO.” Guy said to the crew “if you need me for some counseling, leave me a message. Within 24 hours your session will be programmed. Captain…” he was to leave the bridge.

Lieutenant Freeman, Guy - Chief Counselor Officer

”..Of course Counselor..” Drudoc said with a nod, “..I will see you once the current crisis has passed..” She stated firmly.

It was at this point their call to Starbase 243 came through. Commodore Hansley on the line. =/\= This is Commodore Hansley speaking Captain Andone, we’ve received your report. I admit we didn’t expect your return for another year at least until we got your past report about the Browns Town crew. What’s your status?” He asked.

=/\= We’re currently at a dead stop due to replacement of stolen plasma regulators, though should be operational within the hour. What we need now is further intel on current Orion pirate activity in this area since we left..=/\= Drudoc said.

=/\= Odd to say the least! They’ve been running almost brazen raids through this sector like its the early 2150s before the Federation started cracking down on them in the 2160s. In the past month alone we’ve lost four ships frigates, a cruiser and eight freighters. Starfleet Intel has had a field day trying to break into the Syndicate but someone seems to be knowing our moves before we make them and captures or sniffs out our moles no sooner then they can be placed. We got suspicions of a system they’re operating out of but its a hairs breath near to space currently contested by the Federation and Bolay Military District outside our respective sectors from our neutral zones. If true it could mean they’re risking the wrath of the Bolay to keep us away, up till now its been working. HQ has been tying my hands in sending in a squadron to check out the UEP-242 Gamma system. Given resources being stretched thin I admit I cant do much and given your recent events I’m afraid it also confirms that your Lt Sueder’s, Mother and her ‘cult’ for lack of a better term of followers may be the power brokerage behind the Pirate activity. If so this makes things even more complicated with problems on Betazed right now..=/\= The Commodore said.

=/\= Complicated how? =/\= Drudoc asked standing to cross her arms about her chest.

=/\= There is a .....power vacuum right now among the houses since Sueder’s last visit. And a almost fervent like return to some ancient relgious order that Mr Sueder’s Mother is behind which has taken root among the younger generation. Something about freedom of bodies and open minds. I’m not sure on the details..=/\= He said.

Drudoc frowned a bit listening to this. =/\= Commodore if HQ is tying your hands due to the Bolay how is it we’re planning on getting my officer back? Not to mention answering for the crimes of attacking the Federation and civilian concerns..=/\= She asked.

Sighing the Commodore looked uneasy =/\= I’m afraid for now we need to recall the Ark Angel fully to 243 once you get your core online. With the crew of the Browns Town aboard they’re only a liability for you at this point. From there maybe you can talk some sense into the brass back at HQ in balancing this problem with the Orions and keeping further problems with the Bolay at bay. The last thing we need is another war with them like we had back in 2305 or like the Dominion War..=/\= He said.

Drudoc seemed frustrated but for now had to admit the Commodore was right offloading the Browns Town crew was a needed fact, and she was also getting what he was saying in she had a way with words working the brass at HQ over things like this. =/\= As much as I dislike this fact, you’re right sir. Soon as our core is back online we’ll return to 243, should only be another hour till our arrival. =/\= She said then ended the call.

Turning Drudoc looked to her remaining officers. “Commander Trainor. Launch 10 class-5 recon probes, 5 to the first system we suspected the Orions went too, then another 5 to UEP-242 Gamma which from what I’m seeing on record here..” She said pausing to look up from her CO’s chair display. “..Is probably the second we picked up as a likely candidate. But program them to self destruct the moment they pick up any signs of Bolay ships or probes in the area. Less chance of inciting the Bolay Military District the better. Launch when ready..” She said.

“Probes are being programmed and will send out once ready.” Trainor announced after he was given the order. A few moments later the Lieutenant Commander looked up from his post. “They’re ready, I’m launching the probes now, Captain.”

Ops

An hour later there was a com call =^=”Engineering to Bridge…we are back in business Warpcore is back online and we can go to warp whenever you want!”=^= Miz’uki called out she was starting to sound more like her usual cheerful self at this point

Miz’uki

=/\= Good work Lieutenant, I’m going to need to push the engines to warp 9 straight away to reach 243 in an hour, alert me if there’s any problems. Andone out =/\= She said.

Turning to the helm station she said. “..NE Useful set a course for Starbase 243, Warp 9 and engage..” She said.

”..Aye ma’am..” Useful said as the ship launched to high warp. ETA to 243 one more hour.

GM CockRoach / Drudoc Andone CO

=^=”should not be a problem captain we will be watching everything closely down here to make sure…I am still getting to know this Engine and what our Angel likes…But If I have to get out and push I will!”=^= came the return purr as well as what almost sounded like a couple of chuckles and cheers in the background if there was one thing about Miz’uki she knew how to rally an engineering team
