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.

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.

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. …

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.

“There seemed to be some form of cloaking device within the ship, preventing the sensors from getting a real reading of the ship,” replied Solark. “When the ship powered down, the deception was revealed.

Solark

“What can you tell me about the ship with the cloaking down, we need new data… power systems, weapons, shields, total lifeforms. Get everything you can.” Calin ordered his team, this was their chance to be ahead of the situation and start formulating a plan to move forward.

“Captain,” reported Solark, “the cloaking device was adapted for the interior of the ship. What was cloaked was the cargo bay. It was hiding what was inside: the goods what were taken from the freighter. There was also a cloaking device adapted in engineering as well. It was hiding the engines and the identity of the ship. What we have detected regarding the weapons and shields are the real thing. The crew was not behind the cloak. The engine is a repaired singularity drive from a decommissioned warbird.”

Solark

Veyn trained the sensors on the cloaking tech… he was curious who had developed it, which civilization these pirates had obtained it from. Most of their ship was Federation tech, so where did they get the cloak? If there was a bigger faction at work here, he wanted to know.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

The scans revealed that the technology was adapted to suit the purpose for the ship. It was not a great invention, just a great engineering feat to try to get the parts to work together … like salvaging parts from different cars to get to make an engine move.

GM

Lissi noticed what Veyn was doing and moved closer. “Focus here,” she pointed to a corner of engineering where the signature of the cloaking device should now obviously out of place in the energy signatures of the ship. “Let’s see if we can make heads or tails of it now that it’s off.” She murmured under her breath that she wished she was on the ship now to see what they had done.

Veyn did as instructed and nodded with a hum of understanding as he saw what the Chief Engineer had pointed out. He fine-tuned the sensors as well as he could to that spot in specific, but to him it just looked like a mish-mash of different energy signatures and parts. “It really does just look like salvage,” he said with an exhale of relief.

(Lt. J.g. Veyn, Science)

From the scans, the structure was that of a miniature cloaking device that mimicked the larger Romulan device. Some of the parts were scavenged from larger cloaking devices but the most of the parts were put together with older parts and adapted for the function within the device. To the CE, it reminded of the devices that Wiz was carrying.

“Give details to our away team, do we know also are they in threat? Has the other ship made any sign they are aware of our discovery?” Calin asked Solark, he wanted to get his team time to figure this out, but he had a feeling his crew was in a vipers nest as well. He wanted to be sure he had his finger on the pulse to pull out at a moments notice as needed.

Calin, CO

Solark checked his console and turned around, saying, “Captain, the planetary authorities have been monitoring our activities since our entry but have not acted. There does not seem to be any activity at the moment. However, I do detect a significant increase of communication activity between the various security centres and the governor’s office when we stopped the ship. When the cloaking device deactivated, the activity reached very high.”

GM

Lissi frowned. “Captain… this is almost like the device Wiz had on him.” She turned with a curious look on her face. “I wonder if the Romulans didn’t crash here at some point and the locals reverse engineered the cloaking device. Or if they bartered for the scraps at some point and the Romulans gave it up thinking this backwater world wouldn’t figure it out. We should make inquiries about both possibilities. It would help explain things I am sure.”

From the data that the away team had obtained during their survey of the planet, there was a a possibility that the parts were salvaged from a secret Romulan ship graveyard. Apparently, there were some things that the Romulans did not recycle.

GM

Also from the data obtained, there were four possible locations of this secret “graveyard”.

GM

“Chief, what do you make of this information?” Caln asked as he pulled over to her console as he began looking over the data regarding the Romulan graveyards. “Do you think you can track that down? Perhaps if we can pinpoint which ship they got this from it could help us know more on their agenda.”

Calin, CO

The locations were outside both Romulan and Federation space. The first one was a known asteroid cluster about 20 light years from Starbase 185. Another was a dwarf star system about three light years from the Romulan border, about 40 light years from the Federation system of Zakdorn. The third was between the Federation system of Gamma Centauri and the Romulan system of Talvath. The fourth was about 90 light years from either border close to the Zeta Gelis Cluster.

According to what they were able to decipher, there were parts from different class ships that were adapted into the ‘pirate’ ship.

OOC: Sorry, used the wrong character …

I am lost
