Post by: Jeff Keach on September 03, 2005, 04:47:52 AM
*2 hours go by while the crew is monitoring their position relative to the Ferengi ship and the Gravity distortion*

*The ship is within scanning range of the Ferengi vessel*

"Karelia, ease back a bit, we dont want to get trapped here as well."
"How would you like to take a shuttle over to the Ferengi's?"

Yes Commander getting up from Science station I make the report that it is a distorion like I have never seen before Captain. I will be off then.

Stopping at sickbay on my way to the shuttle bay I pick up so other supplies before arriving last of the team.

=/\= Commander Wallace to Tiberon Captain what ever you do don't try to grab us with a tractor beam sir or you will be needing to and find the smallest molecule to give back to our familes in the Alpha quadrent sir. =/\=

Locking weapons now Sir.

*Talen fires and watches as a single torpedo streaks away from the ship, soon followed by the explosion of the crippled vessel.*

Target destoryed Sir. Where to next?

Tom responded seconds before Jeff went into the RR

"Yes....of course, Yellow alert. It Slipped my mind.......Make it so"

Jeff began to look over the logs. Pondering what to do when they meet the Loxians of the victimized world.

Post by: Jeff Keach on October 20, 2005, 01:51:17 AM
Once the ship reached the Loxians perimeter the crew stood sharply, eyes on the viewscreen, and minds ready for anything.

Though we are allies, many in starfleet have stated that they don't trust them.

"Crew prepare for diplomacy."

We had their supplies and many valuables in our cargo bay, and no evidence of the Ferengi who took them.


(OFF: it has been 10 days since anyone else posted, so I have made a recommendation that the Tiberon be temporarily decomissioned until such time that more crew is assigned, if you have an objection let us know)

=A=Mission Brief:
After an attempt to steal the wealth from a small colony in the Loxian Territory,
A Ferengi Starship gets caught in a gravity displacement field.
Starfleet is sent to discover why and to repair any damage done to the area.
But they are losing time. The Gravity field is growing......=A=

*Recently demoted, Jeff walks onto the bridge then takes his seat awaiting the crew*

Karelia looks at the captain with a devious grin. "Hey, you need a crack pilot, I'm your man."

Aye, Sir.

*turns back to her station*

Off: Sorry I took so long to report in. I've been having a ton of trouble with the net recently but I'm back in the game now.

Post by: Jeff Keach on September 13, 2005, 06:44:33 PM
*while thinking about the outcomes of using a tractor beam or transporters, Commander Wallaces words did effect his decision*
"Tara, can you beam over from your location onto the Ferengi ship?"

"Once they are done Move us as close as you can and transport them out. Lock onto any Ferengi lifesigns that are present"

"Talen see what you can do about the Ferengi ship, if you think it will harm it dont use a tractor beam"

"The distress call must have been an automated message"
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on September 26, 2005, 03:30:17 AM
.......... Transporter Lock was established and the away team was brought back to the ship.

"I dont understand this disruption. One minute the readings are stable and the next they change."

Seeing something else that was aboard the other ship he seen the wealth and documents of the World the Ferengi plundered. The Captain transported that over as well.
He looked over to his Tactical officer

"Talen, lock torpedoes on the crippled vessel and fire when ready"

Jeff went back to the items recovered and noticed a personal log from the Captain of the Ferengi vessel.

"Aye, warp three to Loxius. Might I suggest we go to yellow alert? The Loxian central government isn't usually happy to see Starfleet."

**Lollock steps on the Turbo lift and takes her seat next to Jeff.**

Hello sir. This should be an interesting mission.
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Tara Lollock on September 04, 2005, 01:43:38 PM
Aye sir.

Wallace and Karelia, you're with me. Talen, stay behind with the Captain.

**All three of them enter the turbo lift and head fir the shuttlebey.**

*Jeff looked around at his crew as they sat and stared at their instrument panels*

Dammit!, get our people back.

*Jeff rushed over to the ops station and shoved him aside.  And examined the report*

"hmm, transporters might work, how about a tractor beam?  Talen?"

(OFF: understandable Tara :)   )

"Unfortunately we were unable to rescue the Ferengi. They are missing."

"What we need to do is find out why and what this distortion has to do with it."

"Can we circumvent the field?  I'd like to return these items to the proper owners, the Loxians."
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on October 22, 2005, 05:02:06 AM
Under all the tension Jeff managed to crack a smile at Tom's remark.
The Loxian territory stretched a large portion of space and they would soon be in the middle of it.

"Something like that, yeah"  Looking over at his helmsman

"Ops, open a channel" He said turning around. Ensign Smith initiated the proper commands and signaled to the Captain.

Jeff cleared his throat, thinking of how to word it right.
"This is Captain Keach of the Federation Starship Tiberon. We have in our possession some items that we believe belong to you"

He paused as he waited for a response
After a moment of silence a response came. There was a distortion in the transmission and not much of it could be heard
"Captain........ch?......wher............cuments?...................Have you seen......"
Smith motioned that the transmission got cut off there.

Keach grimaced. "Well, try to fix the transmission, Wallace."
"Tom, bring us within transporter range of the planet. And can you come up with a backup plan to get us outta here?, when the time comes"
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on August 31, 2005, 09:10:35 PM
Indeed, I'm anxious to know what the Ferengi are doing here.

*A tiny hint of a smile crosses his face, its been along time since he was in command of a ship and he was happy*

*He looked around at the bridge, only helm, science and tactical would be needed and they are not present*

Post by: Tara Lollock on September 02, 2005, 07:08:08 PM
Tom, you may want to slow to imluse at the edge of the Loxian Territory. We don't want to get caught in the grravity displacement field.
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on September 03, 2005, 06:18:53 PM
Excellent,  Commander Lollock, prepare an away team and be ready for anything.

Where is Mr. Talen, I want him on the away team.

*Jeff turns around*
"Looks like its just you and me Commander Wallace, keep a sharp eye"
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on September 05, 2005, 01:38:42 AM
Commander Talen, keep a passive scan on this area.

if you find any unusal readings notify my at once.

*goes back to his seat*

Post by: Jeff Keach on September 09, 2005, 06:01:38 PM
A distress call came at no surprise to the crew as the local disturbance grabbed the shuttle too

=/\= Hang on tight shuttle, we'll get you out =/\=

Get them out of there, can we use the transporters? I dont want to risk the ship anymore
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"

Meanwhile on the Tiberon.........


The away team's signatures were being detected on the disabled Ferengi ship.
The crew of that ship was only showing a slight detection.
Something was blocking any further transmissions and the distress call terminated

"Power systems fluctuating, we better hurry up. *taps commbadge* Bridge to transporter room 1, lock onto the away team and beam them aboard"

Aye Captain already done as soon as I realised what the event was doing sir.
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on October 10, 2005, 03:14:42 AM
Jeff thought about the problem.

"If you say the distortion could be coming from the previously destroyed Ferengi, I will agree with you as well."

"But I got a hunch that once this field is gone it won't come back."

"Tara, after the last incident. would you suggest that we send an away team to the planets surface?"
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: William Wallace on October 24, 2005, 01:05:00 AM
Yes Captain.

After about an hour or tying to unscramble the message I turn to the Captain.

"Captain I don't understand this. It is being scrambled at its source sir. I can't make it any better than it was. Sir."
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on October 28, 2005, 08:00:24 PM
The crew was steadily preparing for the away mission when a very loud and shrill alarm was coming from Ops.

Jeff walked over to Smith's station and watched as a message was being displayed.

Priority command!  It was from Avalon.

"Listen up people, we have new orders, forget the away mission." He said with a concerned stare

"Admiral Vorak has ordered us to return to Avalon Station immediately.
Tom lay in a course maximum warp to AS"

Post by: Jeff Keach on September 02, 2005, 02:23:49 AM
*As soon as the rest of the bridge crew reported, they took their positions*

"Helm, input coordinates for the Loxian Territory"
"Mr. Wallace initiate your sensors as soon as we are within range, look for any unusual readings"
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Tara Lollock on September 09, 2005, 02:30:32 AM
=/\= Lollock to Tiberon, we're trapped can you get us out of here?=/\=
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Talen on September 12, 2005, 06:34:59 PM
With the gravitational forces at work a tractor beam might pull them apart Sir. So unless that's the outcome you're looking for I'd suggest transporters.
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on September 29, 2005, 07:08:10 AM
He looked over to Wallace with a look of confusion

"Couple of hours? wha?.... This is strange. William, can you keep a sensor record of this event.  In case high command want to investigate it further?"


Jeff sat back down in his seat and pulled the armchair console towards him and began inputting commands
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: William Wallace on October 07, 2005, 02:03:26 AM
After about six hours in the far distance behind us there was a quick flash and the senors recorder beeped to let me know that the gravity distortion was finished. I thought to let the Captain know.

=/\= Commander Wallace to Captain Keach, Sir the senors recorder is ifnished its task Captain. Did you want me to send you a copy. I have started analising it sir. I should be finished my analysis by the time we arrive at the Loxian system, Captain. =/\=
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on October 24, 2005, 04:02:55 AM
During the last hour the crew was steadily preparing for a mission that could be trouble.

It was feared that the Loxians would take great offense at our being in their space.

Jeff was in his ready room making a captain's log. He had just finished when he made his way back to the bridge.

"So, they want us to make the first move?" The captain rubbed his forehead in frustration.

"Alright, let's give it to 'em" He turned face his Tactical officer "Talen, prepare your security teams, you will join Tom's away team"
"Commander, you lead the away team, peace is our ally, remember that.  Good Luck"

All the Senior officers  looked at their commanding officer with a scowl, deep inside they all doubted his decision but were too bound by the chain of command to argue.

"Aye, sir. Engaging at warp six."

Post by: Jeff Keach on September 07, 2005, 06:06:07 PM
As the very small bridge crew sit and monitor their sensors, they feel the ship start to rumble. At the same time they see the shuttle craft leave on main viewer. This may have something to do with the gravity displacement field.

"What was that?."

The rumble soon stopped. Looking forward they could see the shuttle was farther from the Tiberon. A thought occurred in Jeff, maybe other ships have a strong affect on the field.

"Hail the Ferengi Ship"
The crewman standing at ops opens a channel
OPS: "no response sir!"

"Damn, scan for lifesigns, keep a transporter lock on the shuttle crew"

(OFF: It's better to keep everything related to this mission in one topic. Non-mission posts (such as at spacedock) can be split into separate topic, like "Bridge", "Mess Hall", and such, but this way, a reader won't have to over-navigate to read the whole mission.)

After arriving on the Bridge I start to work on the ships Science section and slowly as I watched the distion wave started to disapate.

CAPTAIN whatever happen to start the effect it has now begun to disapate sir. in a couple of hours sir is my guess we won't even need to avoid the space sir.

*In Ready Room*

Jeff was growing tired of reading the logs, they were all the same.  All contained record of items taken, how much each was worth, where they could sell them. Nothing useful.

A thought was given as to why the Ferengi requested help in the first place.

And why their ship was disabled

*Wallace's communique was recieved*
*=/\= Thank you commander.=/\=*

The distortion is gone, what a coincidence thought Jeff.
Why did it disappear after the ship was destroyed

*Jeff stood up and returned to the bridge*

making his way over to the science station he marks his target with a stare
"Wallace, I have a thought. Could the Ferengi ship have been the source of the distortion field?"
He thought about what he said and repeated it to himself
"Were there any unusaul energy readings on that ship?"

Turning to acknowledge the Captains order before returning to the science station to watch the readings as the appoarched the space. I then move to a difeerent sceen watching those I split the science station to the two different sets of readings.

Post by: William Wallace on September 17, 2005, 01:54:34 AM
After struggling with the transporter controls I turn to commander Lollock, Commander I think I can get us to the Frenegi ship, the Tiberon may have a better chance of getting us and the shuttle out safely if we are there.

A few minutes later we were on the Frenegi ship starting to look around.
Title: Mission 11: "Greed is Eternal"
Post by: Jeff Keach on October 01, 2005, 06:40:18 AM
"Good, let me know if anything changes."

"Tom, set a course for the Loxian system, warp 3."

He begins to move for his ready room

"Oh, Talen, get your security teams prepared for intruder drills"

"And everyone else" glances at the other members of the bridge crew " I want you to know what to do as well, last time the Federation left the Loxians there was some issues.  I'll be in my ready room"

Glides through the door and takes a seat at his desk and begins to look over the Ship log they retrieved.

Post by: William Wallace on October 08, 2005, 01:17:21 AM
Discribe unusual sir. I mean I have never been that close to a frenegi vessel sir. The entire power signature is unusual to me sir but on the ship I couldn't find any sir, But the Computer pick something up that it thought was unusual and recorded it before I returned. The Computer has marked it as maybe starting the Distortion sir so yes the ships computer thinks it might have started it and I would now be inclinded to agree with it sir.

Having said that the distortion is no longer effecting this area of space, I would suggest we let someone know sir and have this area removed from soace flight sir, because you never know what could set the problem off again.

Talen returns to the bridge after hearing the comm.
"Sir? Why have we changed course to Avalon station? That's lightyears away. Is it under attack?"
