Mission:
The Thorion Conundrum Mission Brief
Location: Captians Ready Room
[ON]
Lt Brannon decided to ask Captain Sterling and LCMD Toran to meet her in the Captain's Ready Room. She went to the Bridge and rang the Chime. Then waited to be let in. She felt that the CO and XO needed to know what Dixie Tege from the Betazoid delegation had told her about. And also that there may be someone on the ship that is with the Betazoid Rebels that does not like the Federation.
Maia got the request and set the time for 0900.
She was in her ready room when buzzer went off.
"Enter " Maia said.
Lt Brannon entered, "Hello Captain, I have learned of a possible matter that can endanger myself and possibly others on the Leto. I felt I should brief you and LCMD Toran about it. I feel I can handle it but still feel you both need to know about it."
Sheena strolled in right behind Bannon. "So what is all the hub bub about?" she said sitting down near the window.
"Please do tell, and have a seat." The captain said.
Brannon replied, "As you know, I was raised by adoptive parents from Earth. I was given an earth name. So no one could connect me to my Betazoid parents. I was settling in the transfers we picked up en route from the Boone. Among them was several Betazoids that are part of the Ambassdor's detail. One of them Dixie Ru asked to speak to me in her quarters.
"Who were your real parents Lieutenant"? The Captain asked.
Brannon replied, "My father was Ubrod Belbre and my mother was Havri Belbre. They are of the 3 house of Betazoid. Which is the Ambassadors group of Betazoid. I learned this information from my adoptive parents when I joined Star Fleet. And was told to be careful who I told."
"We sure could have used them here. This ship is all about diplomacy and ambassadorial duties. You can be assured that we will keep this confidential." Maia Said.
"She knew my parents and I told her my Betazoid name. Which is Heevin Belbre. She informed me that my parents were high ranking government officials and I am their only living child and a only child. I am also the one that is suppose to take over their government position. As well." Angelia stated.
"I see and what is this position that you are supposed to take?" Maia asked
Brannon replied, "My title on Betazoid is Assistant Ambassador to Star Fleet. And it is a title given to those who support being associated with Star Fleet. I was told I can still serve in Star Fleet at any rank and will be a direct link to the Betazoid government. I am able to access the highest levels of government on Betazoid if Star Fleet requests. So this will give the Leto some high level influence in the Betazoid government when we need to talk to them or need assistance."
"That's not something we are likely to abuse, Angelina". The Captain stated.
"Please continue."Maia added.
"A group of Betazoid rebels were responsible for my parents murders. And will be out to murder me when they discover who I am. I can handle my duties on the Leto. And will be careful. But I will also investigate who was involved in my parents murder. And there is a possibility that there may be rebels on the Leto that will attempt to kill me. The rebel group does not want to be part of the Federation. And if they kill me they can take my seat on the government. I will make sure that this does not endanger our mission of peace. But I still want to do this myself with only us knowing right now." Brannon stated.
"It's a good thing you decided to go into security then, as you will have access to training and disciplines you will need to carry out your future duties..Do you know the name of these rebels or any of there operatives?" Maia asked.
Brannon looked at LCMD Toran, "You being Betazoid know about the rebel group I am talking about too."
"Well I don't so please elaborate, who are these rebels?" Maia asked,
Brannon replied, "The Rebels are a small group most of which are unknown that do not want Betazed involved with Star Fleet. And want Star Fleet thrown off Betazed. If I am killed and they get a certain thing that belonged to my mother they will have the influence to remove Betazed from the Federation. I have it locked up in a secure place and I am the only one with access to it. They call themselves, Myriad 009.
"Have you ever heard of this sect Number One"? Maia asked.
"No I have not Captain." Sheena replied.
"What is this object your mother gave you?" Maia asked.
Brannon unzipped her tunic and remove the Amulet.
"Here it is Captain". Brannon said
As she passed it over for the Captain and the XO to examine.
"As you can see it is quite beautiful. Normally I lock it in the security vault in my quarters." Brannon said.
Maia took it and examined it.
"Could this crystal be a data storage device"? The Captain asked.
"To be honest Captain I am still learning about it myself. I have been extra careful researching it because I don't want to chance damaging it. And I also did not want to expose the fact I had it in my possession to protect myself and it." Brannon said.
"You have resources on this ship that you could use yourself Lieutenant. You could always have the science department analyze it as well." Maia suggested.
"The Rebels want to start a war with Star Fleet. In killing me they can say Star Fleet killed me and also my parents and cannot be trusted." Brannon said.
There are no pictures of them but I do know the names of 2 rebels. They are Toda Breirut a female and a male named Abul Vuxo. I do not know if they are on the ship. But they could be traveling under different names.
"It's a good bet that if they are after you they could be with the Betazed delegation sent to Thorion 4." Maia said
"I do not feel there is any danger to the crew or ship from them. But if they are on the Leto under different names then they may make an attempt on me. I also feel they will not be a threat to our mission." Brannon said.
"If they are a threat to you they are a threat to our mission, Lieutenant." Maia stated.
Maia inclined her head for a moment thinking.
"Shouldn't be that hard to find Betazoid's. How many are actually on the ship?" Maia asked.
Brannon replied, "Right now counting myself and the XO there are 27 Betazoids on the ship and 12 just came over from the Boone. I am running security checks on all of them right now and hope to find something. Also when near them I am using my telepathic powers to see what I can find out. I know it is not done normally but this is a unique situation."
"They might be able to block your scans undoubtedly they are well trained telepaths. What do you think Number One?"
"Not sure......I would have to be near them in order to read what they are thinking. It is a unique situation indeed and it is something I do not like doing but, present situation, I think it is a necessary must do," Sheena said quietly.
"Alright I want you two to team up and track this down. Perhaps we can capture them and turn them over to the proper authorities. Keep me in the loop." Maia said
"Aye Captain, normally Betazoids don't use the telephpy but in this case i plan to use it as needed to discover who they are. And to protect myself and the crew and ship." Replied Brannon As she left.
