Abel walked up beside the Science officer and put a hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. “Maybe I can help? If you need it, that is. I’m terrible with scanner operations, but I can read data pretty well.” he said with a friendly smile.

Abel, CMO

Veyn jumped lightly at the touch, but only because he had been too lost in thought to register the chief medical officer’s approach. “Oh, doctor! Hmm, yes, well I’ve already run the scans but I’m having difficulty determining anything useful to do with the information they returned.” He leaned down to adjust the science console’s display to show Dr. Abel the data he had been inspecting a moment before. “As you can see here, the residents of the station are of many different origins, but most notably they’re all children or close to it. My initial concern was for their nutritional safety, but it seems that may be a non-issue. I don’t have much experience with adolescents, my little one is still a toddler… but I wish I knew of something we could do to help the younglings. I’m certain they’re frightened. If there was a way we could offer them something they need or want to build trust…” Veyn trailed off and looked to Dr. Abel for assistance with the brainstorming.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

“Thirty seven total. Multi-species young adults, children, and adolescents…” the doctor mused out loud as he watched the scan data. “All on the same vessel and in decent health… but no one old enough really to be running a star ship…” and he paused for a moment and then looked up at the bridge in general.

“Excuse me, but do we know why the ship is here? And what exactly their destination is?” he asked any and all on the bridge.

Abel, CMO

“Doctor, we are in an independent system, not under any jurisdiction except the masters here. It is not exactly what people on Earth would call a frontier town, but it has the same characteristics. I would call it a beyond-the frontier system,” said Solark. “If I surmise correctly, the ship is probably some kind of refugee ship that had taken in abandoned young or runaways.”

Solark

“Right, but refugees from what? And if they are running away from something so bad they’d risk escape in a starship, the Away Team needs to be careful. Fight or flight reactions in a confined space can be nasty.” Abel responded, more focused on the scans than anything else.

Abel, CMO

“I concur, doctor,” said Solark simply, “that it would be prudent to be cautious. It is then proper that the first officer would be leading the away team. I believe he has had experience in such situations.”

Solark

Veyn shook his head. “Most of them are just children,” he said with sadness in his voice. “If the situation does turn sour, I hope the away team doesn’t plan to fight back… I’d much rather negotiate a hostage situation than have the young ones filling up our infirmary.” He watched the viewscreen in anticipation, once again wishing there was more he could do. For now, he hoped that the away team was handling the situation with a delicate touch.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

“I believe that the first officer is capable of what you suggest,” replied Solark simply, still with his eyes on his station.

Veyn drummed his fingers on the science console. The children aboard the derelict craft had reminded him of his son back on Denobula, who was barely three. Imagining his own child stranded in space on a ship like the one in front of them… was terrifying. Where were their parents? With a clenched stomach, Veyn queued up the sensors to scan for biological matter separate from the current lifeforms on the ship. He was looking for the bodies of any adults that might have perished on-board.

(Lt. Veyn, Science)

As far as he could see, there was no indication that there were deceased life forms on the ship.

GM

Well, that’s a relief, Veyn thought, for many reasons. But also puzzling. The away team had not yet relayed any information back, but Veyn was growing increasingly curious about the origins of the vessel and its crew. For now, there did not seem to be much for him to do. He resumed running the routine scans alongside Dr. Abel, ever-vigilant for anything out of the ordinary.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

“Lieutenant, I am reading some reduction of activity in their engineering section. Please see if your scans can throw some light on why it is so?”

Solark

Scans from the boarded ship showed that the fusion engines were beginning to power down.

GM

“Well they’re powering down their engines, that could explain it,” Veyn remarked, biting back as much sarcasm as possible. “At least they don’t intend to make a break for it.” Veyn was still uncertain what exactly their intentions were with the ship, but its crew seemed to be cooperating.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

“Keep me up to date on the engines, if they kick back on I want to know.” Calin said as he stood up. “What do you take of this situation Commander?” Rivar said as he was curious what his instincts might be. He looked over at Morganna with a terse look.

Calin, CO

Before Solark could answer, there was a ping on the Science station. The lowering of the engine power actually caused some form of cloaking device to deactivate. The Odin’s sensors had new scans. The boarded ship was actually the pirate ship that the Odin was chasing.

GM

Lieutenant Veyn blinked a couple times to make sure he was seeing the readings correctly. “Uh, Captain…” he started as he looked up toward the ship on the viewscreen. “They were masking their identification with some sort of cloaking device… The away team is currently aboard the pirate ship we’ve been looking for.”

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

Solark turned to the science officer, “I have those readings too. We would need to let the away team know in case their attention is away from their tricorders.”

Solark

“We do, but we don’t want them to know we are aware either. Their safety might lay in the balance of the knowledge we have… can we get an encoded message to them somehow? I don’t want an incident if we can avoid it.” Calin asked looking back at his crew.

Calin, CO

As a science officer, Lieutenant Veyn knew a thing or two about tricorders. He kept his gaze on the ship in the viewscreen with anticipation. “Captain, if there’s a drastic shift in the properties of the environment around them, whether natural or otherwise, the tricorders should alert the away team. Now, how subtle they are in their reaction to the warning… that’s up to them. They probably know the same information we do, but… if you wanted to caution them against sharing that awareness with pirate ship’s crew, this would be the time.” Veyn keyed the sensors to monitor for energy weapons discharge on the other ship, half-expecting phasers to start firing any second.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

Calin paused as he wondered something for a second as he looked at Veyn. “Alerting is one thing, but I want to be certain they are aware without hoping someone was looking at tricorder.”

=/\= Calin to Lieutenant O’Neill, go to your private channel. =/\= Calin said as he waited for the response.

Calin, CO

=/\=Go for O’neill,=/\= Kate tapping the earpiece

Kate O’Neill

=/\= Sending you some data, check your tricorders. I just wanted you to be aware of something Shaun had told me, you love Captain Morgan stories; him and his rum and jolly Rogers as he called. Just be aware that our guest really like that same rum as well.=/\= Calin said, hoping the stories her fiancé Shaun had told him would be enough. He was stretching his knowledge on Earth lore right now.

COS

As the fusion engines completely shut down, the pirate ship became completely adrift. Sensor scans showed that the life support was offline and that there were fewer crew members than they had imagined. The ship was only crewed by 25 crew members. Except for the captain on the bridge, they were all either adolescent or pre-adolescent. The ship was controlled only at two areas: the bridge and engineering.

GM

Calin, CO

Morganna looked at Calin “I don’t know Captain.” She said “The Romulan Captain is being deceitful and now we have a pirate ship full of children. I won’t say they are innocent at this point.” She said as she tried to focus on the pirate ship for a few minutes to get an idea if the children were in distress or what their situation was.

CNS

OOC: Sorry for the stall. I am just waiting for someone to do something so that I can react to it the ball’s is not in GM’s court at the moment. …

Kenson GM

Just then Lissi came to the bridge. “Wiz, our guest is with security getting a ‘guest tour’ of the ship. Engineering just told me the ship is decloaking. What is going on?” She moved towards the engineering console to see who was there and what the readings were about.

((assuming she came up with Kate and Wiz and was checking in with Engineering before coming to the bridge))
