With the ship patched up after it’s last mission, the USS Aurora’s new job was a patrol of a section of the Federation/Klingon border, maintaining a presence in the area should anything crop up.
It didn’t take all that long for just that to happen, with the Aurora – coordinating with the Brikar Defence Force – identifying a vessel crossing the border that was flagged by Starfleet as being of interest in a number of criminal activities. Suspicion heightened still further when the vessel displayed signs of carrying a cloak, though not a very good one.
When the Aurora confronted the ship, the ensuing discussion didn’t go smoothly, with the Orion Captain accusing Starfleet of interfering with a scientific study in neutral space. After a reminder that the Klingon Neutral Zone didn’t exist any more, she agreed to a more face-to-face discussion to resolve the situation.
The Aurora’s Away Team beamed over, but as soon as they arrived, a jamming field began coming from the Orion ship, cutting off contact, and Orions boarders managed to slip aboard during the beaming process. Whilst the away Team experienced little trouble beyond some aggressive posturing, the Aurora itself had to deal with hostile intruders using an incapacitating gas weapon that managed to penetrate almost as far as the bridge.
The Away Team managed to secure one of the suspected Bajoran terrorists on the Orion ship – sadly, the only one that failed to successfully suicide to avoid capture. This captive was transported to the Aurora’s sickbay for stabilisation, during which time the Orion prisoners managed to stage a jail-break.
With one of it’s own shuttles now making a break for Klingon space with the Orions aboard, the Aurora was unable to pursue due to the fact people were still aboard the Orion’s own vessel. Luckily, the Verter, a Brikar patrol ship in the area, was more than happy to take on the chase.
After being interrogated by LtCmdr Dickens, the Bajoran prisoner let slip a definite connection between his group and the attack on SB118, as well as the fact that the were others of the Scarlet Brotherhood on Farius Prime, planning yet more chaos.
An initial plan to try and infiltrate Farius Prime was devised, using the Orion ship to get a team in undetected whilst the Aurora hangs back to provide support, but it still needs a lot of work – something that the command crew are attending to, along with digesting the news of both the casualties on SB118 and LtCmdr T’Lea’s premature delivery of her and the Captain’s daughter.
Whilst a covert infiltration team makes their way to Farius Prime to try and dig up what they can on Scarlet Brotherhood operations based there, the crew aboard the USS Aurora find themselves having to deal with a member of the self-same group who has managed to infiltrate their vessel from the Orion freighter they had secured.
A hostage situation in Engineering ends with a number of minor injuries to the crew and a Bajoran terrorist left to regain consciousness in the brig. With that little interruption dealt with, they get under way for Farius Prime themselves, with the science and engineering teams cooking up a stealthed probe intended to give the away team a little extra support without announcing the presence of Starfleet in the system.
Meanwhile, the away team successfully makes contact with the Bajorans they are seeking, though it takes a certain amount of fast-talking to get the terrorists to accept the disguises and cover identities the team have put together. Now all they need to do is get some intel on what the Brotherhood are planning next in their attempts to destabilize Bajor’s entry to the Federation – something made perhaps a little trickier by the Orion slave of the terrorist leader who is far less taken in by their act…
