Mission: Vanished
Location: USS Ohio
Timeline: Current

::ON::

The Away Team materialized on the Bridge as O'Connell gave orders "Security watch the Lift....we don't need any surprises. Lieutenants Devroe and Zolon proceed the same as you did on the Base; in the meantime I'm going to see if I can access some of the Ship's logs."

Security did as ordered as the rest went to work. Since Cyndi was going to stay on the Amandora she had granted Jamie a level ten Security Clearance so he could get into the logs and hopefully get some answers.

Heather walked around reaching out with her senses to determine how the Crew reacted to vanishing. After several minutes she felt things the same as on the Base. Noticing Jamie over at a Console, Heather walked over "Commander after reaching out with my senses things are about the same as on the Base" she commented.

The Commander, heard what Heather had just said as he gave her a nod; he had successfully brought up the Tactical Logs and was trying to download the information to his PADD for future reading when the Computer stated "Interface not possible...please try again." "Damn technology" he stated getting a little frustrated.

Heather heard Jamie fuming as she walked over "Here let me help" she said then reached into her utility belt and grabbed a fob to insert into the Console. Bringing up her portable Intelligence Screen Heather touched a few buttons and the PADD and Console interfaced "There you go....now try it."

Jamie did as Heather suggested and to his delight the two devices interfaced and he was able to download the Data. Looking at Heather "Very impressive, I may have to keep you around for awhile" he stated with a grin.

"You better Commander" she replied with a smirk knowing Jamie was just teasing her.

Jamie leaned over and in a low voice "Count on it Baby" as he grinned from ear to ear.

Moments later Cassandra walked over with her Tri-corder in hand "Looks more of the same here as on the Base.....one large residual signature" she stated "This has me baffled as to how this is even possible. I'll take my data back to the Lab and see if what I can come up with."

"That sounds like a good plan but keep me informed if you find anything" Jamie ordered with a smile.

"Absolutely Commander.....I just hope I can come up with something.....anything would be better than not knowing" Zolon replied. With that being said Lieutenant Zolon tapped her Comm badge and moments later returned to the Ship.

Heather looked at Jamie "The Commodore wants you to be C.O. of this Ship until we get some answers or the Crew returns somehow and that has me worried" she stated being quite concerned.

Jamie smiled "Don't worry Heather I have five others form the Amandora coming over soon to help me crew this Ship. One of the Engineers will be among the bunch and he is bring Disruptors with him to put on the Bridge, Engineering, and some Quarters for us all to stay in; that way any attempt to beam any of us off this vessel will be thwarted, at least that's my hope" he explained trying to be as reassuring as possible.

"I sure hope your right Jamie, although you usually are when it comes to devices, I don't know what I'd do if anyt......." then she stopped her thought in mid sentence so as not to add to Jamie's stress level.

He just smiled "I'll be fine" Jamie replied "Shouldn't you be getting back to the Ship?"

"Not until the rest of your Crew arrives and I know you're safe; unless you order me to do so Commander" she stated giving respect to his rank.

"Fine.....you can leave when the others arrive" he replied with a grin. Heather usually had the knack of getting her way. Calling over Security "SanChez, Fuller a word please" then the two walked over "When the rest of my Crew arrives then feel free to return with Heather to the Amandora."

"You sure about that Chief" SanChez queried "Wouldn't want you come up missing too or I might have to do some serious ass kicking when I get told of whomever" Maria stated matter of factly.

Then Heather spoke up "You'd have to wait in line sister" she commented knowing just how tough SanChez could be when provoked.

"Of course Mrs. Chief....I wouldn't have it any other way" she replied with a grin knowing how much of a badass Heather could be which she certainly respected and wouldn't want to tangle with.

"Ok you two, as much as I'm touched by your concern for my safety, there won't be any ass kicking going on any time soon" Jamie said with a slight smile.

Shortly the five man Crew beamed aboard and two of them set to work planting the Disruptors in key areas of the Bridge then Engineering for now. They would get to their guest quarters later in the day.

While everyone was busy Heather figured protocol be damned and gave her husband a kiss on the cheek "You be careful Commander and return safely to me.....that's an order" she said in a low voice.

"Yes Ma'am" Jamie said with a smile "You guys should be going...we have a lot of work to do" Jamie stated.

Heather gave a smile and a nod "SanChez, Fuller you ready to return?"

Security walked over as SanChez tapped her Comm "Amandora three to come home" and moments later Jamie watched the team, and the 'love of his life', disappear from sight. Now it was time to get to work.
