Mission Brief

Saveron: Forty-two minutes ago I received notification from Starbase Security that Commodore Rajel has been kidnapped. The Rodulan has been identified by Starbase Intelligence as a member of the Orion Syndicate. Intelligence are working on the second individual. They were both registered as crew on a small trading vessel; the first under what has been confirmed as a false identity. The vessel was docked at port 126, but departed ten minutes after this footage was taken, with station sensors confirming that it went to warp. We have the calculated trajectory from the point of departure, however, beyond that point, we must follow the trail. And that is what we shall do. Admiral Heraan is arranging an interim vessel for us. It is my intention that we shall go undercover, as an independent vessel seeking admission into the Orion Syndicate. If successful, we shall utilise our access to locate the Commodore, and extract her.

Initial Tasks

  • Horne, Security & Operations - acquire non federation equipment: Universal Translators, communicators, armour, weaponry.
  • Taurik, Engineering & Tactical - Once the undercover ship is revealed get operating instructions and language interfaces, including the offensive and defensive systems
  • Davis, Science & Intel - Collect information on the Syndicate: Range of operations that overlap with Marchlands and/or Shahar Nebula
  • Foster & Medical - Preparing medical supplies and work on surgical alterations for team
  • Counseling - Assist with personas (Consider carefully your attire, mannerisms, and if necessary species.)
  • Security - Prepare themselves to get familiar with the weaponry.

Undercover Ship

Pre-Hobus Romulan Bird of Prey - Vas Hatham Class "Ra'khoi"
 
Not to be confused with the significantly larger D'deridex-class - commonly called a Warbird - or the Klingon Bird of Prey. The pre-Hobus models were larger than those encountered by Starfleet one hundred Standard years ago, but still a relatively small vessel, designed to operate either in groups, or in a hit-and-run style manner. The kind of vessel a lower ranked Romulan commander might possess.

Features: Forward facing disruptors, a complement of Romulan plasma torpedoes, and a functional cloaking device.

Prelude

Saveron is informed by Security of Starbase 104 of the abduction of Jalana Rajel by a Rodulan and an unknown man. The Rodulan is a member of the Orion Syndicate, which leads to the assumption that the Syndicate is behind the abduction. The crew begins their preparations to go on their undercover mission.

Shortly before the undercover ship arrives Saveron is contacted by Elder, the former CO of the Theseus (See Dilithium Digger). He spills the beans that the Syndicate actually has Jalana and hints at a 'medical procedure' to remove her parasite. He also claims that finding 'him' won't let them find Jalana, meaning that she is not with him.

The Undercover ship arrives and the prepared Conny Officers transport to it via Spears' civilian ship, the Gravitas Deficit.

On the Ra'khoi

The Crew arrives on their assigned Bird of Prey and begin preparations to depart.

Engineering reports: "Power generation is online and running at near-peak efficiency. Some angular momentum has introduced a power fluctuation, but we are working to correct it now. The instability is minor. It should be simple to correct it mid-flight. However, it might be visible as an electromagnetic distortion through the cloak." ~ O'Connor (Flores)

Delvok (Taurik) and Faelyn (Lystra) determined the most likely destination as Orinoco Beta. A location that matches the parameters best and is a better-equipped facility. It would be the best tactical choice for the syndicate to bring her there. On the way to this location, the ship will take a slight reroute for a manoeuvrability and Weapons's test in an asteroid belt near Epsilon Phi. As that was finished the ship continues its way to its destination.

Among the Pirates

Jalana is captured and tied to an operating table being prepared for a 'kind' surgery of removing her 'parasite'. "Boss" counts on the Constitution Crew to come to save her and is aware that their ship is in no condition. But he does not know how they will arrive.

Act 1

Arrival at Orinoco Beta. The ship arrives at its destination with no station in sight. Noticing a small craft 'vanishing' near an asteroid they discover that the station is hidden inside said asteroid and through their backstory gain access. The crew splits into groups to enjoy their "Shore leave", speak find Jalana.

Teams

  • Team 1 - T’Vor, Cha, Jorne, Kim - Learn about the station's defences to be able to get out in a hurry if needed
  • Team 2 - Dauntin, Devon, Shyla, Delvok - Find out anything about the local medical facilities and available supplies.
  • Team 3 - O’Connor, Mkoll, Faelyn - Learn about any other recent, unusual arrivals; ships or people. It might be someone we know, or someone we want to avoid.
  • Team 4 - Haeva, Ha’Naii, Galen - Pay our regards - and our dues - to the station’s master.

Team 1

The Team visits the Lwuin Qei establishment to get more intel. They cause a barfight to see the security forces in action and obtain information where the emergency entries/exits as well as where the guards are and how many forces would react how fast.

Team 2

The Team visits different shopping locations for valuable equipment. They find various trinkets, including a jar - no really. That is not just any jar but an organ storage unit. Then they move on to the next place in hopes of finding what they need and also keep their eyes open for a certain medic called Kyyrtan – a Delvian who sells all kinds of poisons.

Team 3

The Team visits the Pulsar Bar to learn more about recent arrivals. They meet an apparent peddler or smuggler (Ernol) who offers them a load of Benzocyatizine of a deal that fell through. Edward recognizes it as being specific for Trills. They draw attention of Matrol who lures MKoll into making the deal to kill Boss and his associates. Her pheromones and a drug in the air knock him out shortly after, they also find out that their contact Ernol is dead (most likely murdered). They bring Mkoll back to the ship where he is taken care of.

Team 4

The Team finds Boss and pay respects, offering him the gift of Dilithium Crytals. He hires them to kill Matron and her associates which by now also includes Mkoll. In the middle of their talk with him Elder joins the conversation who is more than eager to observe the treatment of a patient, which Galen rightfully assumes is Jalana, while Haeva and Ha'Naii do not draw that conclusion unaware of Elder's information given to Saveron.
