Getting underway again
Posted on Wed Apr 30th, 2025 @ 8:35am by Captain Maia Sterling & 2nd Lieutenant Saul Humphries & Lieutenant Commander Havri Belbre
Mission:
Pandemic
Location: USS Leto NCC-80916
Timeline: 239604.03
Captain's Log Stardate 239604.03
Toda and her band of pirates used our own prefix code to eject our warp core. There is only one person she could have gotten that from: Commander Belbre. Which gives me hope that she might actually still be alive. We have recovered the ejected warp core, and after three days of installation and repairs are ready to power it up. During our downtime, we collected a new Marine Commanding officer who happened to be on one of the Betazoid cruisers that responded to our distress call. We have sent a log bouy with all the pertinent information to Starbase 50. We have also changed our prefix code.

[ON]
Maia was down in engineering, watching the techs power up the core. Commander Blake had done a great job finding it more or less intact and returning it to the Leto. The ship has been on impulse power for two days while repairs were underway.
=/\= Bridge, are you showing the mains online?
=/\= Captain, this is the bridge. Commander Blake is indisposed at the moment. This is Lieutenant Ezard. We are showing the mains are online. =/\=
=/\= We will test the core and the warp drive on the way, set a course for Thorion space warp factor 1 =/\=
The Leto leaped into warp without incident.
Maia made her way back to the bridge.
----Toda’s Ship----
Belbre finally came to; she had a headache and couldn’t figure out what it happened due to being a little bit delirious at the time. She didn’t know if anything had been gotten out of her to compromise the Leto. But she was still concerned that something may have slipped out by accident.
Then, as she got more of her senses back. She heard Orion talking on the other side of the door.
“That ploy worked perfectly, the Federation ships' warp core got ejected and allowed us time to escape.”
She hung her head low and started to think. There has to be a way to regain her respect on the Leto after what just happened. She got up and walked around the room that she was in, checking the door and other things. Surely, there was something she would be able to use in that room somewhere or somehow to aid in her escape.
Toda watched her on the monitor screen. She realized that Belbre was too dangerous to keep on her ship. She thought of outright killing her, but what would that get her? She needed her supplies and was ordered to bring all the captives to Captain Arwella.
They soon reached the coordinates outside of the Thorion star system. After reaching the rendezvous point, Toda had decloaked, waiting for Captain Arwella to arrive. It turned out she was already there. When her ship decloaked, Toda was amazed at the sheer size of it. The Ladies Luck ship was huge, miles long, with huge arms, and it blocked out space around it.
Toda's ship, though the size of a Klingon D7 battlecruiser, was able to enter one of the hangar bays on the Ladies Luck.
Soon enough, Toda went to retrieve Belbre and the rest of the captives to take them aboard the Ladies Luck.
Belbre lay on her bed when the door opened. She figured if she made herself look weaker than what she was, she might have a chance at getting an advantage to escape, possibly. She saw Toda standing there looking in. She made sure that she had four Orion guards with her. This showed how much she was afraid of her.
She looked over,” Looks like you’re really afraid of me, Toda. And that’s because you know that I can take you with no problem in a fair fight. When are you gonna get smart and surrender to me? The sooner you do it, the better for you and all your crew and anyone else who is helping you out as well. “
"Always trying to goad me into making a mistake. If it were up to me, you would have been dead long ago. It is, however, not up to me. I know how slippery you can be when you put your mind to it. Be that as it may, we have arrived at our destination. It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's that I'm afraid for you. Come along," Toda said.
Toda led the way through the corridor and then to the gangway onto a different ship.
Ahead of her stood Captain Arwella, a very old foe.
"You have done well, Toda, bringing her here alive," Arwella said.
"Your ship has been restocked, your fighter bays are full once again, and you have enough armaments to subdue a planet."
Toda bowed and left.
Two Orion guards stuck a hypospray device to your neck, implanting a neural inhibitor device into your neck.
There, now you are ready to be processed into slavery, Havri Belbre. Arwella said.
