[snip]A young yeoman skidded to a halt as they entered the room, eyes glancing from face to face and sleeve to sleeve, finally settling on Ford. He entered much more slowly than he clearly had been going to get here and handed the chief of security a data tape and a clipboard. Ford raised an eyebrow at him. “The captain and first officer are getting more details from the brass,” he said. “Here’s the initial batch of info; they said…” he trailed off and looked around the room. “They said one of you could start and they’d join later.”
Ford shrugged and stood. “Dismissed, Yeoman. Thanks.” The young man turned and left, quickly. Ford inserted the data tape and then pressed the button beside it with a thunk, and the three displays in the table center lit up with the image of a planet. He looked down at the clipboard.
“Sigma 9, Federation mining colony,” he said. “We’re being dispatched to…” he furrowed his brows and flipped up the first page. “… to investigate a series of murders.” He read some more. “And disappearances.” He set the board down, brow still knit in confusion, then shrugged. “Let’s see what if the presentation on the data tape has more,” he finally said, and pressed another button to access the next portion on the data tape.

The Captain poured himself a cup of steaming hot coffee and looked over his command staff, his expression serious. “That’s right. We’ll be heading up an independent investigation which the Sigma 9 Security Team has been unable to straighten out. They’ve had personnel disappear, as well as found evidence of more than one homicide. Since we have better equipment and more experience with… Strange disappearances… Starfleet Command has given the investigation to us. We’ll have full access to the Sigma Colony Computer system, as well as any evidence they’ve collected.” Here the Captain paused and looked around. “Mr. Ford, I’d like you to lead the investigation. Please let me know who and what you’ll be needing to get that done, and I’ll make sure you have it. I’ll have Doctor Hudson standing by for medical examiner duties. The rest of us will do what we can to provide support for the Sigma Miners and their command staff, but I don’t want to lose any of you on this mission. Let’s do this by the book.”

Amber, having never been asked to leave, spoke up. “Sir, if the colony can give me access to comms and such, I can see if this possibly came from an outside source. Track incoming and outgoing vessels and see if any transmissions, personal or official, gave rise to an alarm before anything was officially noticed.” Perhaps there was someone doing this who had bragged it out in a personal transmission or data file of some kind. She could use the filters to look for key words that may help them find someone with more than a passing fancy, and knowledge, of what was occurring.

Ford nodded as the captain entered and took over. He moved down a few seats to listen, pursing his lips before he responded. “NE Smith and Ensign Bolurson would be good for this,” he finally answered, writing in the margin of the duty roster. “I’d like a science officer for testing any evidence we might find, and a medical officer for looking at the bodies.” He stopped writing and sat back, tapping the pencil twice on the table. “And you or Commander Černý to run interference from the locals, if you don’t mind. In my experience, despite asking us here, they often get in the way.”

OOC: Blegh sorry holiday slump took me off guard.
Looking at the info packets on hand they had the usual info they could pull up on the data tapes.

Robert Banner listed to the information and did not offer any opinion. After all, a Petty Officer’s opinion might not be welcomed. He would have to sit back and been seen and not heard, unless, of course, someone asked him a question.
