Not long after there is contact to both teams on the moon to check in. | Not long after there is contact to both teams on the moon to check in. The other teams fill the Captain in. (The team handling the artifact have located it, though are dealing with some CO2 overload, and the team handling the prisoners are figuring out a way in.) Somewhere in the process, Sera realizes that something about the Artifact is connected to a different dimmension. | ||
Ensign Aratta at the science station lets everyone on the bridge know that the planet has a means of getting a lot of something called polysilicate verterium. Presumably a more pure form of what they want from the ship. And it brings into question why they would need the verterium corteride to begin with. And what Pila's role in all of it is, and what his clientele might want out of it. | |||
Pila reaches out once more to confirm that the offered verterium is of high quality, and that he'll send over the information, some of it encrypted until he gets the rest of what's promised. The Captain agrees. | |||
In all the conversations, Ensign Aratta postulates that the pirates might be trying to use ancient technology to harvest the gas giant's atmosphere. | |||
It's about then that Lieutenant John Kendrick returns from his LOA and joins the team on the bridge. | |||
Captain Oddas has Kendrick work with R'Kala, and sends Deveaux, Sera, and Aratta to the shuttlebay, and science labs to prepare to receive the artifact as safely as possible. And as she asks the rest of the bridge crew how the link up of information is coming along, on the screen shows an oncoming vessel. An older Groumal class freighter. Low-range phasers with a range of less than 400,000km, and signs of life aboard it through a whole lot of sensor interference. | |||
The Captain tries to contact the freighter, and it rewards her with a quick burst of audio before stopping abruptly. Followed swiftly by an alarm from the tactical station. | |||
