Mission: Revenge
[CONTINUED]
[OLD]
In the Science Department:
For the first time in a while, Roberta smiled. She fast-forwarded the logs to that point in time. "Ah hah.." She said' "There's a 'break' in our logs during that time - no transmissions, communications, nada. Send your info to me and to Lieutenant Lynx in Engineering; I'll send you both what I've found. Hopefully we'll be able to make some semblance of all this and come up with some answers."
[NEW]
Lizzie nodded. "Got it. Sending the info now."
Roberta hit her com button. "Andrews to Lynx; Ensign Jackson has found that something scanned the ship twelve hours before our people disappeared. We didn't pick up on it because the signal piggybacked on a routine data transmission into stellar cartography. I then looked over that time period on the Calypso logs and found that there's a 'break' in our logs during that time - no transmissions, communications, nothing was recorded. We're sending you our collected data to match up with yours, perhaps we might have part of the puzzle on what happened to the missing personnel."
=^= There can't be nothing recorded, I found a trace of emissions similar to what our transporter leave when we use the targeting array. Though at the time of the kidnapping I found a slight smudge of radiation at the locations where they took our people. =^= Eamon replied.
Roberta pursed her lips.."That's weird," She thought to herself after hearing Lynx's response..
[Sickbay: Medical Lab 2]
Dr. Frost sat in one of the lab's in medical. Her chin sat on the palm of one hand as she glanced at the data. So far the only thing she could think of to use to find the others with out com-badges was DNA samples. At the moment however she was not sure if samples had been take of the whole crew. Herself for instance arrived after the incident with the rest of the crew but she had gone through the transporter so there must be some way she could use those scans to search. She tapped the console lightly and started to search for who else had arrived after the last incident and then searched to see who was missing.
[Engineering]
Eamon exited the turbolift and walked the distance into the engine room, he saw his department was a busy hub of activity. He smiled as he approached the console table's right side and checked the readouts.
The ship seemed in the same condition it had before the attack so he thought it best to ignore that part and focus on the timing of the abductions. He knew most forms of teleportation left particles and traces at the locations it was used. However those traces had a timed life and he had to act fast.
He tapped at the control panel on both sides of the display. Resetting the sensor array to focus on areas of the ship that had unusual or spikes of atypical amount of whatever. Eamon tapped his combadge. "Computer locate Roberta Andrews and Elisabeth Jackson."
=Lieutenants Roberta Andrews and Elisabeth Jackson are in the main science lab.= The feminine voice told him.
"Lynx to Andrews and Jackson, I've began a cross-reference between the time of the attack, locations around the ship and what particle and or traces that were in great amounts. This can help us determine what and how our people were abducted. Don't you agree?" Eamon said.
{Science Dept.}
Roberta and Lizzie exchanged glances then Roberta spoke. " Lizzie is working on a spectro-anaylsis of the space area around the Calypso marking one full day before this event occurred, *then* the day it occurred, and then matching up the time when crew members started disappearing with that previous day's time. While she's doing that, I'm over viewing the past logs to see if anyone mentioned any type of this anomaly. When we're finished, we can compare our findings..that work ok with you?"
{Engineering}
He nodded though knew the two women couldn't see him, Eamon tapped at a few controls as he spoke. "Sounds good, just checking we are not doing the same things. That would be a waste of time. See you soon." He replied.
Lizzie listened to the conversation between Lynx and Andrews, then went back to her work. It was times like this she really wished Ronnie were here.
Shannon looked over at Eamon while he 'talked' with Roberta & Lizzie then went back to her board.. Her eyes widened and she turned back to Eamon. 'Sir...getting a 'spark' here almost like...transporter??? No can't be.."
"What? Where? Trace it now!" Eamon ordered though assisting hopeful that they could get a breakthrough in their investigation.
Shannon's hands flew over her board.."It's coming from..dang.." Shannon turned to Eamon.."Who ever's behind this is clever..they activated a transporter and shut it down with the speed of lightning."
Eamon shook his head. "Nothing is that fast unless your from the Q Continuum." He gestured to the console. "At least give me a direction."
Shannon's fingers went over the board again.."Got it" She yelled, then turned to Eamon. "They were transported from our ship to another ship - which I believe was 'cloaked,' off of our starboard side. They left in a hurry..but not so fact that I couldn't fix a tracer on their signal, and send that info up to the Bridge." She winked at Eamon.
[SICKBAY & BRIDGE]
The list scrolled along. Ilse noted that some of the missing were civilians and it made her wonder why a civilian would be taken. Ilse had a thought and tapped her com-badge. "Frost to the Bridge"
=^= Bridge here, Munich speaking.=^= He reply through the console. =^= What can we do for you Lieutenant?=^=
"We do not know who took our crew right, but didn't they use a transporter to take them? Has anyone tried to track that lead?"
=^= I am in the process of back tracking the signals but they were to a ship or ships that we cannot detect.=^= Munich said in reply. =^= Our sensors are working over time to try and pin point where they might have been taken but with a masked signal used we are having a hard time=^=
Frost nodded to herself more then anything else as she continued to think. "They, those that took our people, they did not leave a calling card at all as to why?"
The Alarms sounded on the OPS console. "More Transporter Activity.... Get the shields to maximum!" Munich called to Tactical. =^= Sorry Doctor we have some pressing problems... out =^=
"Report!" Vance demanded as she marched onto the bridge into the centre chair.
{Science Dept.}
Roberta heard the klaxons blaring and hit her com badge."Andrews to Bridge...What's happening?!?!"
{Bridge}
"This is Commander Vance, we are getting readings of another attempted transport, can you trace it Lieutenant?"
{Science Dept}
Andrews began to speak, but she was interrupted by Shannon in Engineering..
{ Engineering }
"Bridge, this is O'Brian! I got a tracer placed on that 'ship,' what ever it was.. Sending info to the Bridge also linked to Navigation and Helm!
{ Bridge }"
"Could you give me something a little more specific?" Alexandra replied flatly masking her excitement of locating whatever it was however disappointed by the lack of details.
{ Engineering }
O'Brian hit the com button again..."We're dealing with a cloaked ship..it was off our starboard side and I was able to get a tracer on it while it was using its transporters. It heading off in an 'Easterly' direction.. and pretty fast, too!"
[Bridge]
"Acknowledged, Vance out." she replied rolling her eyes. "Helm set a pursuit course, maintain distance. Let's see where this little bee calls home."
=^="Vance to Bourne and Mangalia, report to the bridge immediately."=^=
