The rendezvous spot was in the same cluster, near the edge. It was one of the smartest things they had done so far. It would allow the pirates to get the booty and then flee into the interior, making pursuit by a ship of any size difficult. Not impossible, but challenging at least.

While TJ was helping the XO, a text message from Rendana came in for him.

||Rivers, I have set of erroneous data from the Level 1 diagnostic that needs sifting through and could use a second set of eyes. Let me know if you aren’t immediately occupied. ~AR||

~Super~TJ thought. Just like R&D duty again. Find the faults. That was always fun. “Give me a few minutes and I can help.’

Lt. (j.g) Rendana, COO

She grimaced as she looked at the map. “Well that is unhelpful isn’t it. Out of transporter range, tractor beam wouldnt work due to all the asteroids and cant guarantee that our weapons would just disable their vessel?” She looked at Foley for confirmation or suggestions. At this point, she actually wished McMichaels were here. Strategic Operations would have been helpful in planning a successful assault on the pirates in question.

“Go ahead and start getting the Trinidad set up as our rendezvous ship. Hopefully they underestimate it’s ability as much as they have underestimated the Magellan. Foley, you want to take her for a spin?” Briony offered her new XO.

Rivers-Ops

“Always up for it Captain. We can rig up the Trinidad to look like it is carrying ore, make them think we are actually doing what they ask.”

Aaron came up around the console towards the Captain. “I’ll go ahead and get the Trinidad ready to head out. Do you mind if I take a few of the marines with, just in case?”

LtCmdr Foley - XO

“By all means Commander. I am sure they could use a little exercise.”

=/\=Rendana to Operations. I’ve found our malicious program, but it’s tethered to the comms systems. If I can’t contain it, I will have to shut down external comms.=/\=

Lt. (j.g) Rendana, COO

While Aaron waited for the Captain to respond, he tapped the comm channel open.

=^= Understood Lieutenant. If you have to, minimize shut down of external comms, as I’m going to be taking the Trinidad after our would be blackmailers. We don’t want to be out of contact if we possibly need backup. =^=

=/\=Sure, no problem. Let me go find my magic wand,=/\= Avalise said lightly.

OOC: Cross posting from Mystique Club Main Sim Thread
IC: =^= Harris to Ops. Be advised. We have an individual at the Mystique Club who confessed to cutting power and gravity aboard the starbase along with an accomplice help to the manager Teek’ma Downs. Dr. Odraavi is checking him out before I transport him to the brig for interrogation. I have him contained.=^=

Harris

=^= Roger that Lieutenant. Keep the Captain informed, and see what you can get out of them. Coordinate your responses with Lt. Rendana. She’s found a malicious program in our systems that could be tied back to them. =^=

LtCmdr Foley - XO

She took a long look at her XO and narrowed her eyes in thought. Creating a malicious bug and getting it on the Magellan was hard work and something that took brains. The two guys that she had interacted with were.... less than stellar in the brains department. Could the man they captured be the mastermind, or was there someone else? Finally, she said, as her XO went to leave, “Be careful. Those two idiots aren’t likely the people who planned this and you will be on your own until Rendana can get external comms back up. I have faith in you Commander. Bring that ship and all its inhabitants here for detention and questioning if at all possible.” The Captain nodded once to her XO firmly and then went back to the business at hand, leaving him to do the tasks set before him.

“Of course Captain.”

To Rendana, she responded, =/\= Lt Rendana, this is the Captain. I believe Foley taking the Trinity out will make them think we are complying with their demands and give you the time you need. Give me a minute to send them the proposed coordinates for the drop off and then you can do what you need to do. =/\= She sent the coordinates in the manner requested and then had to trust that Foley would be able to see them through the next part without communications.

As the Captain turned back towards the rest of Ops, Aaron headed for the turbolift towards the Trinidad.

LtCmdr Foley - XO

=/\=A delay I can do, Captain. I will keep you updated on my progress. Assume the external comms are free unless I update otherwise. Just waiting to see if my little trick worked or not,=/\= Avalise remarked.

Lt. (j.g) Rendana, COO

Briony waited until the ship was out of dock and then pressed her comm. =/\= Alright Lt, Rendana, Do your thing and keep me updated if you can.=/\=

This was the part that would suck the most. She had to trust her staff implicitly. Most of them were relatively new, not just to her, but to the base. She had to trust in their expertise and professionalism. She had to trust that Foley would return with the two men in custody and everyone of her crew safe and sound. She hated waiting. Briony was actually quite patient, however, she was worried. There were many things that could go wrong and it wore down her patience today more than normal. She decided to occupy herself as best she could while they waited.

=/\= Bridge to Dr. Odravvi. Report from Sick Bay? =/\=

Briony, CO

=^=We got our fair share of casualties down here, Captain. Although, we’ve managed to sort through the mess. So far heat exhaustion and hypothermia are some of our larger issues. However, we have them under control.=^= A pause. =^=Don’t tell me you plan on sending another wave of injured down here anytime soon?=^=

Dr. Odraavi
CMO

Briony smiled grimly. =/\= Not unless things go very wrong on the Trinidad, Doctor. I will keep you posted. =/\=

The downtime she felt they would have while Rendana worked to fix everything and the Trinidad made its way to it’s meeting was frustrating so she filled it with continuing to check in with her crew. =/\= Bridge to Lt. Harris. Report. =/\=
