Mission: Vanished
Location: Amandora, Star Base and Two Fighters
Timeline: Current

ON:

Cyndi walked onto the bridge "Communications open a channel to the Star Base, the two fighters with Herculoid and Money, call Lieutenant Saunders, Commander O'Connell, Lieutenant Onak, and Doctor Long to the conference room.

With that Cyndi walked into the conference room to await the conference calls.

Kristian had returned to the Amandora to check in with sick bay and the children who were there and to do the boarding physical of the returning engineer. Kristian walked into the conference room a few minutes after the call came out. "Commodore," she greeted as she took her seat.

Lieutenant Zolon was in the Main Lab helping one of the Ensigns when the call came to meet in the Conference Room. Excusing herself, Cass grabbed her PADD and headed for Deck 1 not knowing why she had been called since most of her scans had come up empty.

Commander O'Connell was in the XO's Office keeping up on things while Ro was off ship. Grabbing his coffee and PADD he was off.

Lieutenant Dunjen was pleased about the meeting since she had just uncovered some actionable intel on the Crews from the three Ships; now was as good a time as any to inform everyone.

Oddly enough the three Officers arrived at the Room all at the same time as Jamie smiled "Ladies, it's meeting time" he commented with a grin as the Officers entered. All three gave the Commodore a greeting as they found their seats.

The viewer was activated showing Paul and the two fighter pilots.

"Cyndi good to see you," Paul said

"Admiral," Cyndi responded winking at her husband "We'll give this just a few more minutes before I begin," After several minutes "When the rest of the officers arrive we'll bring them up to speed, admiral why don't you start."

"We know thanks to Lieutenant Herculoid that the crew of the star base are being held on the ant beings home planet where they're caring for the larva and when the awakening happens they'll be returned we have that on good faith from Antis the being we've made contact with, the crews of the three ships are still unaccounted for," Paul said "Doctor how are the children?"

"They're fine, they're aboard the ship and in guest quarters and are being monitored," Kristian responded.

Although Nix was a little nervous addressing everyone she knew it had to be done "Admiral, and fellow Officers, I may be able to shed some light concerning the three Ship's Crews. By utilizing my network of Intelligence contacts I have recently received actionable Intel that a large number of people are being held by Slave Traders on Siameris in the Orion Sector" Nix Dunjen explained "Although there are no guarantees these are those people in question, the Intel was confirmed by two different sources.

"Intel has good sources Cyndi," Paul commented

"Agreed, I can't pull out now with two fighters out and Commander Green out to locate her boyfriend. Lieutenant Herculoid status of the captain's fighter?" Cyndi asked

"All systems are green nothing wrong with it, she had to have been beamed off as that's the only way that makes sense to have the fighter adrift," Tara responded

Listening carefully to what was being shared Lieutenant Zolon chimed in "Fellow Officers Science has been continuing our scans around the Star Base as well as the Planets adjacent. We have picked up an old Nebula Class Ship which seems to be hanging around in the area and doesn't seem in a hurry to move on. Perhaps Captain Rivers has been abducted and is aboard" Cassandra reasoned after her explanation.

Saunders had entered the room when he overheard that all systems on the fighter were green. At the same time, he took a seat without trying to cause too much commotion.

Siting his padd on the conference table, Saunders planted his hands on the desk and his silver mug of coffee. Turning to the Captain it was a while since he had the ability to meet with everyone since returned. " Commodore. It is an honor to be back onboard the Amandora as your Chief Engineer. I am here to report that all the Amandora systems have been cleared for optimal and peak efficiencies. All updates have been completed that have been completed, and Starbase engineering personnel are back aboard the base. "We are ready mission ready, engineering speaking." Saunders gave a nod to Cyndi and then to the rest seated at the conference table.

"Welcome back lieutenant," Cyndi greeted "Herculoid cloak and see if you can locate that Nebula Class. I want a name, registry number anything. Once located I want science to run a scan on it. Scan for Amazon life signs. Long, Herculoid, Captain Rivers is full Amazon and I correct?"

"You are commodore," Kristian responded

"Cloaking now commodore," Tara said "My sensors say there is a Nebula Class hiding in an asteroid field, going to investigate."

Cass made a few notations on her PADD "As you wish Commodore" she replied hoping to get everyone back on board.

Lieutenant Onak had just finished getting updated information from Chief Lacewell and instructed her to notify him in the the conference room if anything changed. He grabbed his P.A.D.D. and headed in, greeting everyone with a nod as he took his seat. He greeted Commodore Song by rank. "Commodore."

Cyndi quickly brought Onak up to speed on what he'd missed "We seem to have multiple issues here, Captain Rivers is missing, we have three star ship crews who are missing and possibly being held but not confirmed on a planet in Orion Space and the crew of the star base Admiral Sanderson is in temporary command of who have already been reported that they are on the ant beings home planet until the awakening happens. Questions are now how do we proceed?"

Green had listened to the opening of the multi-signal communication. Her pilot, Jazmin Al-Sahir, had kept tabs on all communications within the sector. Reaching out Ro tapped the comm key. "Commander Green here, everyone. It seems this issue has become far more multi-faceted than we had originally suspected. That means the dangers to us all have also increased. I am going to do an orbital jump into the atmosphere of the Class-M planet where the starbase crew have been taken, leaving Ensign Al-Sahir in orbit or the upper atmo as my backup. The insectoids deserve a face-to-face like any other species we would meet, for diplomacy and peace."

Upon hearing that Warrant Money piped in. "Commander Green, Money here. I can make it to your location in a timely fashion, Sir. Just give the word if you want backup." Shannon knew that Herculoid was out seeking the Nebula class.

"If you're not opposed, Commodore, I would like to have Money and her fighter join us at the insectoid world," said Green.

"Commander given your condition I am understandably concerned. An orbital jump is risky," Kristian spoke up

"I agree doctor, but the commander as done this successfully several times," Cyndi said "Commander you have permission to do so and upon your return to the ship your to report to sick bay for a full work up to make sure you and the child you carry are okay. I don't like it but it needs to be done. Shannon proceed to the commander's location and Herculoid is available for diplomacy if needed as well. Proceed with caution and stay in touch."

O'Connell was taking notes carefully figuring Heather would be accompanying Nix either on an Infiltration or Rescue Op....or both. Jamie wanted to make sure his wife had all the information she could get her hands on beforehand.

Ro did a tongue in cheek moment when her condition was once again brought up. Yes, she was pregnant. But, as an Augment she did not have the weaknesses of the typical Human. Her body, and her twins she carried, were able to take much more than most and survive. The Core would see to her children. "I assure you I am fine. Your concern is logical but unnecessary even as I thank you for it. I assure you I will be vigilant and cautious." Green moved to the aft section of the Runabout and opened the foot locker that she d brought aboard, viewing the contents within as a crooked grin formed. "I will sign off now and prepare for my descent. I'll contact the ship once I am on turf."

"Be careful commander," Paul said knowing Cyndi's concern.

"Commodore, bad news on the Nebula Class, the markings and name have been removed. Something tells me it's either stolen of its been purchased," Tara said returning to her former location and dropping the cloak

Warrant Barnes piped in. "Purchased, my ass! Starfleet doesn't sell their vessels on the market. More than likely this ship was sitting in a starship graveyard, ready to be dismantled before it was taken. And, anyone capable of doing that can also arm it their way since those starship graveyards always have fast attack vessels as sentinels to prevent salvage and theft."

Money's voice came back through. "He has a point, y'all. That ship would have been stripped of essential systems before it was left to be guarded. Disruptors don't require a coolant system like phasers do, so they are easy to install and cheap on the black market."

Green, on her end, had stripped down to her knickers and was donning the temperature control body glove for her uniquely armored EVA-style suit. "I'll sign off and let you folks deal with this. Green, out." She cut the transmission on her end, even though Ensign Jazmin continued to listen up front in the Bridge of the runabout, USS Euphrates.

"Did you pick up Amazon life signs?" Kristian asked

"One, so it has to be Alesha," Tara responded "According to scans there are over a hundred life signs over there, Orion, humanoid, I did pick up Frengai as well. Commander Green is right on weapons. That ship is loaded for bear."

"Intel see what ships from the graveyard are missing and get me a name of that ship," Cyndi ordered.

"On it Commodore" Nix replied as she brought up the nearest Star Fleet graveyard on her Intelligence P.A.D.D.. Looking through the list of about one hundred old worn out ships, one was unaccounted for "Commodore the USS Monitor....registry NCC-61826 seems to be missing from their inventory" she explained.

Onak listened intently to each individual, making mental notes of each situation report. He piped up when there was a break in the conversation.

"Commodore, I would advise against spreading our operations too thin. While there are distinct advantages for approaching a given situation from many fronts, there are also disadvantages."

He glanced around the room at each crewmember. "While tactical will assist any and all of you whenever possible, do not over extend yourselves, and remember to avail yourselves of every tool at your disposal. Do not hesitate to ask for my help and please," He leaned in closer "leave some of them for me! Qapla!"


Cyndi had listened to everything and several things were certain, Ro was going to do an orbital jump on the insectoid's planet and Money was going along to provide assistance. Herculoid had reported that there was one Amazon life sign on the Nebula Class that was hiding in an asteroid field. Intel had reported as to the name of the Nebula Class. Who was in command of the Nebula Class was still a mystery but one thing was for sure and that is Captain Rivers needed to be rescued and returned to the Amandora. And to find out who was commanding the Nebula Class "Okay people here's what we're going to do. Herculoid return to the ship. Barnes I need you to take a detail over to that Nebula Class and bring Rivers home. Science send a probe to Planet Siameris and find out how many people are there, we'll go from there to rescue them. Before Barnes takes a detail to the Nebula Class I need a full scan on her to see what kind of weapons, engine and warp drive she carries. Tactical you may need to re-configure some of our weapons just in case we end up in a fire fight which I'm hoping to avoid. Rivers also reported just before we lost contact with here that there was another ship and was going to investigate. There are two ships out there find out what you can about the other ship, class, weapons,warp drive everything. Doctor Long see to it sick bay is ready for anything I get us into. You know what to do now, let's get answers. Dismissed"
