It was two and half days later that the long range scanners picked up the Tellarite ship. It was travelling at warp far between systems, and appeared to be alone. Blue and Pikelsimer were on the bridge, and Pikelsimer nodded and said “There she is. Captain, I think it’s about time the galaxy come to know the name Rabid Pelican.”GM
Shara quietly entered the bridge, back in her grey leather rib-like jacket and leather leggings, the only sound her heeled boots and that was only because she wasn’t actually trying to be silent. Her hair was strangely loose though and settled just below her shoulders. Gone was any trace of the distress or fear previous experienced by some of the crew. Folding her arms across her chest, she eyed those gathered. “Don’t play games. Be straight-forward,” she said simply. “Quick and dirty.” She almost voiced an addendum but instead just smirked a little.
~’Elaine’, Gal with the Information
Beth was standing at the tactical station, armed to the teeth, running scans on the freighter, looking for weak spots to quickly knock out shields, determine ng where the marine goodies were located, and waiting on word to start letting one of her programs start hacking their computer. If she could knock out their ability to fire, raise shields or even lock them down - stop turbolift, doors, and the like from allowing movement - it would make their job easier.
Ridad was waiting with a boarding team just in case.

Sara took one last deep breath, like a swimmer going down for a dive. “Hail them. We’ll make our demands, and the consequences of not meeting them swiftly, known.” She stood up in full view of the screen and straightened the leather jacket that had replaced her uniform.
“Tellarite ship. By now you have detected our presence. Surrender your cargo immediately, our you will be boarded and we will seize said cargo. No prisoners will be taken.”

=/\= Unknown vessel, this a ship of the United Federation of Planets. Threaten us again and we will make sure you are either tossed in the nearest penal colony or blasted into pieces. =/\= and the comms went dead.
GM
Eulailia was managing the communications console on the bridge. After the message from the transmission from the Tellurite vessel ended she looked at the Captain, shook her head, and said, “The comms are dead. I will try to get them back online.”
Dacascos, COO
Sara nodded. “Bring the comms back up if you can. Arm phasers and torpedos and get the boarding parties ready. We’ll give them one warning shot and if they don’t yield, we’ll take the ship.”

“I checked with the teams before coming up here, Captain. NL Ridad is waiting with them in the transporter room,” Gadi reported.
OOC: James, can I get some clarification? Did the comm between us and the freighter go down, or did our comms go down ship wide? If ship wide did we get hacked or an equipment malfunction?
The target ship simply cut off comms and is blocking further attempts.
“Phasers and torpedos are standing by Captain. I’m waiting for sensor readings to come back to determine where best to target them.”
She nodded at the commands as her hands moved across the console trying to make them so. She looked up from the console and said, “Captain, would you like me to set the ship to Yellow alert?”
She briefly stepped from her station and said to a nearby NE. “Comms are down, go make sure the boarding parties are in position and ready. Let them know we will fire a warning shot to try to gain the Tellurite’s compliance. I will stay here to work on getting the communications back up. “ The NE nodded as he headed to and boarded a nearby turbolift. Eulailia approached the officer at the weapons console. After seeing the weapons system ready, she gently patted the officer on the back to show appreciation, went back to the communications console, and said, “Torpedoes and phasers are ready to fire on your orders, Sir.”Beth raised her eyes from where she was monitoring the ship’s tactical and security systems to look at Dacascos. She practically growled, “Can I help you? If you feel the need to look over my shoulder you have an auxiliary tactical read out on your station. You watch your station and I’ll watch mine. Unless you want to be responsible for aiming and firing these big guns and have their blood on your hands.” Beth Kovra was not a person you wanted to get up close and personal with her bad side.
Eulailia rolled her eyes and said, “Gladly”, as she turned to go back to her station she threw up a dismissive hand. She didn’t understand why the woman was being so nasty. They were after all on the same team.
She wished the woman had gone with the boarding team.She continued to work to get the comms back online. “If we are not able to restore comms in time I recommend going to Red Alert to signal the boarding to move on the Tellurite ship.”
Dacascos, COO
“I suggest we wait until shields are down before we send the boarding party. We don’t want their patterns bouncing off the shields into space. Do you want me to try and hack into their systems, Captain?”
Gadi, CoS
Dacascos, COO
As they planned their course of action, the helm registered a change in course. The target ship was increasing speed and turning towards a large asteroid field a few minutes away.
