Coming to stand just off the command centre, Calloway looked Stone up and down with a critical gaze, though there was nothing unfriendly about it. Just a woman gathering information or matching something in her head. “Are we assuming our rescuees are on the level for the time being?” An attack on a starship that was unreported wasn’t unusual, but without more information she agreed with their high level of caution.

The feeling of eyes on her wasn’t new or unusual. She was doing the same, sizing them all up, estimating capabilities and matching faces with names from files she’d briefly been able to read while chasing down the Athena.

She shook her head. “I wouldn’t but Captain Orvos is there now. I’m sure we’ll go over their shuttle with a fine-toothed comb. Hopefully engineering will air gap it in case they aren’t on the level and have some nice bugs to stick into our system when the computers link up. The whole thing is fishy. But the nebula could be causing a communications blackout, as well as the ion storm.” There wasn’t much they could do about it for the moment. And two of the department heads they needed to do what they could were in the shuttle bay.

“We’re not that far from Starbase 157. Let’s reach out to them and see if they have better last-known position data for the Montezuma. Try to correlate that with the survey data of the nebula in question. We can bring it up on the view screen. Cross reference that with hostile activity in the area. And where you might go if you had to fend off a surprise attack, possibly from somebody nastier than you. We’ll adjust as the situation develops and we get more information.” For the actual travel they didn’t need to see anything. Using the viewscreen as a collaborative workspace, for now, was a better use. Almost as good as a hologram floating in the middle of the bridge. But this way they could all be on the same page, working in realtime. For now.

R’han

Faye let her brain percolate the facts they knew. “I assume you have basic facts about the ship. I can dig more if you like, or we can just wait to see how things play out in the shuttle bay.”

~Faye Calloway, CIO

R’han could do the math and the mapping. The data inputs were pretty great, conversely space didn’t have a lot of things that would change the tactical picuture, hence the name… space. “Given general parameters an just presuming they would be near a area that would give a tactical advantage. There are 12 defensive position’s within their patrol sector that would provide sufficient defense to allow them to hold off a superior force for over 12 hours.”

R’han.

Bump

OOC: thank you, Linds, for the bump!

IC: The Montezuma was last reported behind a planetoid, that was thought to cause interference in various systems in a starship. The ship had hidden itself before power had been fully disabled.

NE Miller spoke up from nearby. “Finally got the bounce back from Starbase 157. Last-known coordinates were … here,” he said updating the chart-plot on the main viewer.

At the back of the bridge at the auxiliary science station, NL Sheridan began pulling up all the survey data they had on the region, as well as any gravitational fields and eddies. The most obvious factor would be the planetoid the Montezuma had bellied up to. If it lost power, it could get sucked down onto that rock. Or more likely it was an ice ball. But it was a starting point. But it had been under attack too. Clearly there were tactical considerations.

“Commander, they should be in range for us to pick up, but if I scan…”

Serena nodded. “We’ll broadcast our position.” For now they had a tactical advantage, running on passive sensors. Running silent. =^=Stone to Legen=^=

=^=We have some information on the last known position for the Montezuma. Nothing confirmed. If we start actively scanning we give away our position. How do you want to play it?=^=

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

=/\=Let’s run those scans. I want to get our head on straight quickly. Too much oddities here and we need to keep figuring out more. Athena will hold.=/\= Orvos replied with every bit of confidence he had for the ship and her crew.
