Mission: Double Dealing
Location: Prime palace of Farious
Timeline: 239511.14

Commander Belbre had summoned her team in the transporter room and two groups had beamed down.

Saul materialized to disruptor fire, he had brought a squad of marines with him. He set up some firepoints and dispersed his men to pacify the insurgents.

The security staff from the Leto combined with the palace guards was able to push back the insurgents, at least for the time being.

There were several explosions and a lot of collateral damage. the insurgents came to take out the monarchy

=/\= Lt. Humphries to Commander Belbre we are detecting some armor in the courtyard approaching=/\=

=/\= Copy that LT Humphries. Send us any tactical information you can. =/\=

Havri looked at Saul, "Any suggestions on avoiding those tanks? I want to avoid any confrontation if possible. Let's move out and everyone keep your heads down. I want everyone back on the Leto alive."

"Well, that is the trick isn't it, The palace has ground troops of its own I suggest we find the Ambassador and get the hell out of here before something really bad happens. The security forces have put up a force field that is blocking transporter signals. Seems we are trapped here for the time being." Saul stated.

Havri checks her tricorder, "According to this the Ambassador's office is in that building over there. So let's find a way there. You want the lead Saul? Tactical on the group in combat is your specialty. And I like the way your Marines work as a team. My security personnel can help out as needed.

Aye, Sir!

Alright Marines we are taking that building over there the second one on the right. We will lay down smoke to mask our approach, 1st squad, fire team one, you will lay mines on that tank and destroy it, fire team two you will disable the second tank and fire team three you will disable the third tank. I don't want them destroyed I want them disabled you will round up prisoners I want information, do you get me?

"We get you, Sir!"

"Alright, make it happen devil dogs!!"

Second squad, follow me to the palace and we will get the ambassador, Third squad find that transporter inhibitor and take it out, we will meet in the ambassador's office in building two. Move out!!

The team had their orders moved out efficiently and deadly in their assignments. it didn't take long before smoke was laid and the first tank was destroyed, then the second and third tanks each had tracks blown out, the turret disabled and the fire teams were rounding up prisoners for interrogation.

Saul led the rest of the Marines and security personnel to the ambassador's office, he led them through heavy fire but again the SFMC equipment was far more advanced and powerful, one marine was the equivalent of a battalion of hostiles. Still, the fire and resistance were pretty intense.

To Saul, it was simple tactical geometry, their victory was inevitable. As they stormed the building and cleared the resistance they eventually came to the ambassador's office.
The ambassador was collecting documents and he was with insurgents and three burly Orion officers, they offered a lot of resistance.

It struck Saul that perhaps he wasn't on their side.

=/\=Marine three to Marine one, We have located the transporter inhibitor and are disabling now =/\=

As soon as the inhibitor was down the Orion's, Insurgents, and the ambassador were engulfed in an Orion transporter beam.

Saul looked over at Belbre.

"What the hell was that, boss?" Saul said.
Bebre replied, "It appears the ambassador is working with the Orions. I think he has changed sides and is no longer a member of Star Fleet. Let's get back to the ship and figure it out there where it is safe. "

=/\= Captain we need an immediate beam out. And we will brief you in your ready room when we return. =/\=

=/\= Understood, Leto out-/\=

=/\=Transporter room beam the away team back=/\=

=/\= Beaming the away team on board now, Captain =/\=

[Bridge of the Leto]

Sheena stopped dead in the corridor just in front of the lift. The Ambassador had just been snatched and she sensed it. Surprise, rage, and fear were what she was getting empathically as she stepped into the lift and sent it rushing to the bridge.

Rushing out of the lift, "The Ambassador has been transported by the Orions," Sheena said quickly. 'Scan the Origins ship for his bio life signs and lock on..=/\=Captain to the bridge, when you have him, maintain the computer lock and wait for further orders. I'm not gonna lose the Ambassador=/\=," Sheena said, with a determination in her voice that could make anyone's blood run cold.

Rick glanced over to Sheena and shook his head, "You know I've had a lock on the Ambassador for an hour while everyone is deciding on what to do, Commander."

Looking at Lt. Gibbs, "Of course you do and I apologize but I was not on the bridge when that order was given, so please maintain the lock. He is no longer on the planet. Do you think the Orions might try and make a run for it?", Sheena asked the Lieutenant.

"I don't doubt it. Why wouldn't they, they've got what they want. Who, rather." Rick was already targeting the ship's engines.

"A most frustrating situation. So if they have what they want, why stay here unless... unless they are waiting for something else to happen or waiting for another opportunity to do more damage to the situation", Sheena said contemplating the situation, and waiting for the captain's arrival on the bridge.

Maia arrived on the Bridge.

"Status Report"

[USS Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

T'Plana-hath sat in the flight control seat of Type 11 Shuttlecraft Kal-tor. She was returning to the USS Leto and duty with her spouse Tasav. She was being assigned to the Leto as a Special Agent Afloat for Starfleet Criminal Investigative Services. She was a Chief Warrant Officer in Starfleet Security Investigative Services and was therefore thought to be more than qualified for the given position. They had just disembarked from the Vulcan science vessel te-Vikram in the shuttlecraft towards the [Shuttlecraft Kal-tor] system when monitoring the communications, it sounded as if the Leto was engaged in combat.

=/\=USS Leto this is the Shuttlecraft Kal-tor, are you in need of assistance?=/\= inquired T’Plana. “It would appear they are engaged in ground combat with insurgents on Farious Prime,” replied Tasav as she began doing sensor sweeps. “Be advised I have three Ferengi D’Kora-class cargo ships in orbit, as well as two Nausicaan Y65-Class trade ships, something is off about them though,” Tasav remarked. His elicited a raised eyebrow from T’Plana, and through the Mind bond they shared Tasav knew she was anxious to find out what and trusted her to figure it out.


[Planet side]

Barth was keeping his post protected. He looked over at the others and started to think. He tapped his com badge. "We need to get evacuated from here," he said. Just as Barth was about to say something else, he was grabbed by a group of Orions.

=/\= Something is blocking transporters, and the shuttlecraft Kaltor is on its way=/\=

Barth has been knocked unconscious by the Orions who had captured him. Unbeknownst to the others, he was somewhere else. The Orions had switched him out with a doppelganger.

[Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

Tasav read the readings she was getting from the two Nausicaan Y65-Class trade ships, she increased the scan. "Have the Leto increase their scans to a low frequency and read the energy output from the two Nausicaan Y65-Class trade ships, their output is too high for a Nausicaan Y65, the fact is their twice the normal amount." T'Plana hit the comms =/\=USS Leto, be advised to scan the two Nausicaan Y65-Class trade ships in a low-frequency scan, energy output is double the normal range.=/\=

[Bridge USS Leto]

=/\= Understood Kal-tor. Will scan with a low-frequency output, as their energy output is double the normal range=/\= Sheena replied, then looked at Lt. Gibbs to do what was relayed.

"Could it be possible that the Nausicaans are also involved or is it a trick and these ships are not who they appeared to be?", Sheena added.

"I suppose it's possible." Rick looked over more readings. "No, no," shaking his head, "Those are not Nausicaan ships!"

[Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

T'Plana was monitoring the com lines between the Marines and the Leto. She made a decision. =/\=Leto marines this is the Shuttlecraft Kal-tor. Be advised I am coming in hot for your evacuation.=/\= She looked over at Tasav, "Be prepared and track any hostiles and engage." With that T'Plana pushed the shuttlecraft forward into a steep dive. The G-forces pushed both Vulcans back into their seats.

=/\= We are ready for beam out. Taking heavy fire from the Orions and rebels. Thanks for the lift Kal-tor. =/\=

[Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

The shuttle Kal-tor screamed "Disable those tanks, then get the marines beamed out." stated T'Plana calmly. Tasav calmly began tracking and firing on the tanks and ground personnel identified as unfriendly by the computer. She had the shuttles' phaser set on heavy stun. "In proximity begin transporter protocols," stated T'Plana. Tasav set the computer on automatic tracking and firing. She then opened a com channel to the marines =/\=USS Leto ground forces, prepare for emergency beam out.=/\= with that statement she began beaming the marines out, those close to combat first.

[USS Leto Bridge]

"The Shuttlecraft is transporting ground forces up. I assume too well..the shuttle. There's not enough room on it for all of them. I have no damn idea what Lieutenant T'Plana is thinking, Maia." Gibbs gave a bit of a 'growl.'

"Use the shuttle to get them away from the inhibitor field and we can beam them up shouldn't be more than two trips, Maia said.

[USS Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

The shuttlecraft rocked as it received fire from the ground, T'Plana just ignored it in a very calm Vulcan way. Detecting two aerial vessels coming toward them she simply adjusted the phasers and fired at them, dissuading the aircraft. Meanwhile, Tasav would beam marines into then out of the shuttle to areas where there was no activity of hostilities. "The Vulcan Council will have objections to the damage of the shuttlecraft," stated Tasav. "Then they may take it up with Starfleet Command and the Federation Council," replied T'Plana. "Completed first transference of personnel. Ready for the second pass," stated Tasav. "Hold on I need to get this aircraft our tail," replied T'Plana as she sent the shuttle into a barrel roll then took the shuttle into a straight vertical climb.

"Beam those crewmen aboard," Maia ordered.

[Shuttlecraft Kal-tor]

The first pass beamed up all the Marines and left Belbre and 2 security personnel on the surface. When the Orions saw that the ground forces were dramatically reduced they began to advance on the position to try and take prisoners. They circled up in a tighter group to await their turn to be beamed out. Belbre tossed 2 more grenades. to slow the Orions down.

=/\= Anytime would be great T'Plana. It is getting hot down here.. =/\=

T'Plana completed a perfect Immelmann maneuver, the trailing aircraft unable to sustain the speed and altitude of the shuttlecraft. It broke off contact in search of easier prey. T'Plana turned into a course to remove the last of the marines. "Let's finish this task."

"Have a lock on them" stated Tasav, =/\=Kal-tor to ground team, prepare to be beamed aboard and brace yourselves.=/\= with that Tasav beamed the ground team on board as T'Plana pulled the shuttle straight up into the atmosphere.
