::ON::

{Amandora}

After the meeting with Command, Commander O'Connell started for the Security Area and tapping his Comm while in route "Lieutenants Zolon and Devroe please come to the Security Room" he ordered.

Soon Jamie walked into Security and looked for Maria "Lieutenant SanChez grab Fuller....light Tactical.....we're going on an Away Mission" Jamie ordered.

"No problem Chief" as she turned to Fuller "You heard the man, let's get moving....light tactical" she ordered as he did what was requested.

Moments later Devroe and Zolon came walking in as Jamie turned and smiled "Good you're here......we're going on an Away Mission first to the base and then over to the Ohio for another look around. The reason I asked both of you to come along is twofold...first Lieutenant Devroe, and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, but I need you to use your Betazed abilities to see if you can pickup any residual feelings left by the Crew" he explained then looking at Zolon "Lieutenant I need you to see if your abilities can help us to figure things out and also I need a Scientist to take some readings while we're there also. Grab what you need and we'll all meet in Transporter Room three in 30 minutes." Both ladies nodded then turned to prepare for the Mission.

{Intelligence}

Heather walked into the secured area and tapped her code into the keypad to enter. Once inside she noticed Nix checking over some of the equipment " Hi partner taking an inventory" she asked.

Nix looked up from her work and smiled "No just checking a couple pieces of equipment then it's onto more Intelligence reports from Star Fleet....what are you up to?"

Heather smiled "Jamie wants me to go on an Away Mission with him and use my abilities to check the Base and the Ohio; not that I'm crazy about the prospect" she explained "So I was going to grab a few things just in case we run into any problems."

Nix grinned "Take whatever you need have fun over there" she replied.

"Thanks....I'll have about as much fun as you'll be having going through all those reports" Heather responded with a chuckle "I'll see you when I get back."

"Sounds good and I don't have to tell you to be careful.....I don't want to train a new person" Nix said with a grin. Heather nodded then turned for the Transporter Room.

{Deck 5 - CSO's Office}

Cassandra walked into her Office and grabbed a fresh Tri-corder then grabbed her phaser which was in a hidden compartment. After letting Lieutenant Hunt know where she was going, she made her way to the departure point.

{Deck 6 - Transporter Room 3}

Everyone walked into the area about the same time as Jamie made some introductions so everyone would feel more at ease "Ok we're going to the Base first.....SanChez keep security tight and everyone stay alert just in case" Jamie explained then turned to the Operator "Beam us directly to Ops on the base....Energize" and moments later they were gone.

{Star Base 154}

Materializing In Ops O'Connell looked around, there were a few of Amandora's Crew here already as he walked over to a Lieutenant "Excuse me Lieutenant we're going to take a look around and check on some things" Jamie stated with a smile.

The young Lieutenant turned and looked at Jamie then swallowed hard "Commander.....I didn't see you enter or I would have called the deck to attention" a very nervous Crewman explained.

Jamie gave a light chuckle "Don't worry about it....there are far more pressing matters than worrying about protocol at the moment" he commented "But be aware Admiral Sanderson will be here soon to take command of the Base until we get things sorted out."

"Thank you Sir for the heads up, I'll be sure to keep a close eye out so I don't make the same mistake twice" he responded being quite serious.

Jamie nodded then walked back over to his Team "Lieutenant Zolon see if you can get any readings on whatever residual beam out that might be left and also use your talents to see if they can be of any help" he ordered.

"Right away Commander....I'll get started on the readings first" Cass replied then set to work.

"Security keep things tight" then turning to Heather "Lieutenant see what you can come with" Jamie ordered with a grin knowing Heather wasn't all that excited about having to use her abilities.

After several minutes Cass walked over to Jamie "Commander how long do you think it's been since the Crew vanished" she queried.

O'Connell thought for a moment "From what I can gather it's been at least a few weeks if not longer; why do you ask."

Showing her Tri-corder to Jamie "See these readings....there're off the charts....they're even higher than that of a recent beam out" Cass stated "If it's been that long, then I would have to assume the power used for such a large transport must be massive. So far I'm only seeing one beam out signature...it looks like everyone left at once....at least in Ops."

O'Connell let the information sink in for a moment "If your suspicions are correct, and I'm sure they are, then we may have a bigger situation than missing Crew" he commented hoping the hell she was wrong.

Jamie made his way over to where Heather was standing, with her hand on the C.O.'s chair "Lieutenant what can you sense about this place or it's people" he queried.

Heather looked up and smiled "Commander I can't sense anything out of the ordinary. No anxiety, no fear or any trepidation of any kind....just the normal sentiant feelings" she explained.

Jamie looked at Heather "So.....do you have any theorys about their state of mind just before they vanished?"

"Everything seemed normal right up to and including the time they vanished" she stated then went on "It's almost like they didn't even know they were taken. I know it sounds crazy but I don't know how else to explain it."

Jamie kind of shook his head because he didn't have anymore of an idea to what happened than he did before.

The team gathered then made their way to the Transporter Room to beam directly onto the Bridge of the Ohio....maybe they'd find more answers there.
