On the bridge of the Trinidad Aaron kept an eye on the containers.

“Commander, they’ve grappled the containers.”

“Good, turn… Wait, grappled?”

“Yes sir. They didn’t transport the containers on. They used a cable and dragged them in.”

“Well that complicates things,” Aaron muttered. “Helm slow to a quarter impulse. Have they pulled in the containers yet?”

“Yes Commander.”

“Set a 5 minute timer. Then come around, full impulse. We need to get back to our marines.”

“Yes sir!”

LtCmdr. Foley - XO

Outside the container walls there were some people, possibly three or four. On low setting it was hard to determine through the thick walls of the container. There was a kick and a shudder as they were all piled into some sort of storage room. Then there was silence.

For the Trinidad, when she pulled full around there it was, the shadow had moved and a small, old, cargo ship was drifting silently back from the dead drop into the interior.

“I’ve got a cargo ship on sensors Commander,” the science officer said as the Trinidad came around.

“Helm, set an intercept course for that cargo ship,” Aaron said as he turned towards the science officer. “Broad spectrum sensor sweep now. I need to know if there are any other ships out there, and that this isn’t a trap.”

Kelly nodded to the CO as she lit up the tricorder. The grappling, and subsequent swaying, made everyone stick out their hands for balance. Thanks to great training, they were calm and balanced without any offset, thumping or gasps that would give away their hiding inside. She whispered low enough it wouldn’t carry beyond the small group. “We are being moved, not transported. Everyone watch your weapons and your balance. We can’t afford to be found out too soon.” She glanced at the CO to see if she was getting any useful readings thru the container walls.

The XO’s orders were carried out post haste. In this environment it was hard to determine if there was anyone else lurking about, but for the most part this ship was the only one there. It appeared to be older, poorly maintained, and definitely not outfitted to be anything other than a cargo transport.

GM Wombat

“Commander, we aren’t picking up any other ships in the area. And the ship does not look like it is doing that well. Best guess there is minimum weapons and shields.”

“How long to intercept? And prepare to lock on a tractor beam.”

Lt Cmdr. Foley - XO

“I’m get a few life signs, can’t tell how many without risk of alerting presence but it’s around four, maybe more. We may need to make our presence known eventually, before we do that I want more detailed scans… if we have to tip or hands might as well do it with as much intel as possible.”

Williams, Marine CO

Kelly nodded and agreed. “Let’s wait if we can. I don’t think the ship will let us get too far out of reach. But we definitely need to not go out blind.” She passed the word, thru whispers, to keep an ear out for voices and noises that may help give them a heads up to their surroundings.

Scans, both technical and physiological, revealed… nothing. They were in boxes. Alone in the dark.

GM Wombat

Kelly soon had whispered responses from everyone. Shaking her head at Williams, she reported. “Negative on additional info. No one else is getting anything. Seems we’re alone in here.”

Part of her wished she was some species capable of reaching beyond the plasteel box to touch every mind within a click… The Marine in her was glad because if she could read others, they usually figured it they were being read. It would give them away. Just be a human Marine, Kelly… It’s what you’re good at. Her mind reassured her and like a good Marine she awaited her next orders

“Stay alert… eyes sharp.” Ash said keeping herself calm and collected as she did. This wasn’t the plan but she would make a new plan.

Aaron was sitting on the edge of his seat on the bridge of the Trinidad. It was only a matter of time.

Now they just have to get close enough to grab the transport, and he was waiting to see if they blink. Hopefully they would see a reaction when the marines sprung the trap.
