"What the Hell Happened?"

Posted on Fri Apr 30th, 2021 @ 1:26pm by Captain Maia Sterling & Lieutenant Commander Sheena Toran-Blake & Lieutenant JG Jason Barton & Ensign K'Rin C'Tinu

Mission: The Thorion Conundrum Mission Brief
Location: Bridge

ON:

Sheena was going crazy. No word from Ryan or the shuttle that was dispatched to Thorion 3.

"Captain, is there something your not telling me? Is there a problem on Thorion 3 that we don't know about? I'm worried......they have not checked in as yet," Sheena said nervously. Then there was Samantha to worry about as well. Ryan took her with him. She knew what Orion pirates were like and how they treated prisoners.

"Well from what I understand the entire away team was captured. So half the command crew are missing including Lieutenant Brannon. I have send Mr Tanger to negotiate for official support and the Thorions have complied. They have sent an entire fleet of Ballista's to Thorion-3 to assist for the hunt. Plus we've been getting intelligence reports that Orion pirate activity is growing.

"I have ordered the Leto to be powered up.

"Any more questions?" Sterling asked.

"Yes, I'm about to shoot myself in the foot for not insisting that I lead that team. Yes I know it is not my place but with the intel on the increasing Orion pirate movements here and on Thorion 3, I get the feeling that there may be more to these abductions than meets the eye. First it was the miners and laborers. Now they are abducting Starfleet officers. They are looking for something. What? I haven't figured it out but the abduction of Lt. Brannon cements my thoughts", Sheena said. "I believe the perigium is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't help but feel that something bigger might be in the wind," Sheena added. She was upset, and worried yes, however the abductions of two officers that were in the security field did raise a few warning flags in her mind. That is what she was going to get to the bottom of and fast. It also could be an attempt to foil the Thorion's from joining Starfleet.

At the Captain's order to power up LTjg Jason Barton, sitting, at the helm station, set his fingers flying over the touch controls as he brought up the pre-flight checklists and started final preparations to make way. Once the command to get under way was given, Jason would be ready. "Making preparations to depart Captain," he announced evenly.

Maia sat in the center seat her ship was done powering up and it was time to go.

"Clear all moorings and gravitational support systems."

"Helm engage reverse thrusters as soon as we have clearance to leave." The Captain ordered.

"Thorion control to Starship Leto you are cleared for departure". The comm station sounded.

"Take us out Mr Barton" The Captain Sterling ordered.

As the Leto slowly cruised out of there berth there was a fleet of Ballistas and Javelins already assembled.

"Mr Barton set a course for Thorion 3 ahead warp point 5." The Captain ordered.

The Leto and the fleet shot away at one tenth the speed of light.
