The premise

Two officers of the Constitution, So'Mior and Imas Heeka, receive an anonymous message requesting to contact the source.

Message: ::a bit of electrical interference:: Hello? I am looking to meet with a Mr. Somior or a Ms. Heeka. Or both. There is a secure comm code if you are willing to speak. This is of the utmost importance. ::A pause and then some words that were either an untranslated language or complete gibberish.:: Shi-saan shashibe shomorae. I repeat: Shi-saan shashibe shomorae.

After a bit of back and forth of attempting to decipher the last bits of the message, the two, and Talia Ohnari, figure out that the last bit of the message was the comms code. Contacting the sender of the message the trio finds out the following information.

• The sender's sister is dying after being mind flayed by a pirate occupant of the Deep South Mine.
  • The same mine the Conny crew freed from said pirates. The pirate was Shael, the same Ullian that injured So'Mior's mind.
  • The sister is in stasis, in the medbay of the SS Thornwater. Her brain isn’t responding, but when it does she says some names of Starfleet Officers. The names of So'Mior and Imas were the ones the caller could make out.
• Orion Syndicate pirates are on the SS Thornwater and will not hesitate to kill the sender and their sister if they try to leave.

Despite being well aware that this was most likely a trap, the trip decides to fly to the SS Thornwater to help. Once they arrive Talia is injured while boarding the ship. So'Mior and Imas continue their path, but realize they need backup and patch a distress message through their shuttle to the Constitution.

On the Constitution

Since the crew is enjoying shore leave, the absence of the three is registered but believed to be well-deserved a vacation trip. The post-mission party in the Saloon is getting interrupted when the Distress Call arrives the ship.

Distress Urgent. On board SS Thornwater. Pirates. Heeka/So'Mior/Ohnari. Ohnari Injurd, Condition Unknown.

Jalana immediately calls off the party and announces red alert and immediate departure. The Thornwater is about 30 minutes away.

The mission

Team one and Two boarded the Thornwater and fought through waves of pirates. They did not only find the mission Constitution officers, but also the original crew of the ship held as hostages. While those two teams infiltrated the ship as much as they could, the team in the Runabout kept the bridge personell busy with random attacks.

The runabout was destroyed in the attacks but the crew was able to transport to one of the other runabouts before that happened. As the teams secured the surviving pirates they contacted the runabouts and were transported out. Transports of the Thornwater had been disabled and once the runabouts returned to the Constitution, Security began to prepare.

The surviving pirates, hostages and Original Thornwater Crew were transported to the Constitution, sorted and vetted. Injured were treated, pirates contained in the brig and the hostages and Thornwater crew received guest quarters. Once the Connstitution reached Starbase 104 pirates were handed to authorities, hostages and crew was returned to their families and their regular lives.
