Orvos acknowledged the communique as he paced the bridge, glancing at various consoles as he processed things

Janna was likely still in the brig. He hadn’t heard anything new from her or Hammor, though he figured they would say something if they had something of use.

Commander Calloway and Dawson had retrieved their target and were now in sickbay. The same sickbay his first officer was mending in. The same sickbay taking care of Ducante. Sickbay was hopping, he was certain.

His chief science officer was still busying himself with information pouring in.

Orvos turned his gaze to the viewscreen as he came to a stop. His eyes took in the sight of what his senior staff had escaped. He moved closer to his seat, eyes still on the viewer as he processed everything.

“What’s going on down there?” he said aloud, his voice tinged with frustration. He half expected them to hail the Athena. Though if they hadn’t, he was considering doing so himself. What was he to say though? They were still investigating things and the inhabitants of the asteroid, so far, had been no help. What could they possibly provide from down there.

Orvos figured their only hope lie in what Liam discovered in his research or what Hammor and Janna might have gotten out of their prisoner in the brig. Though if Silas had been talkative at all, perhaps Faye would have more information soon? For now, he waited for a report from someone on the bridge as to what was going on in the facilities of the asteroid.

Lt. Cmdr. Callahan stepped onto the bridge and moved to the tactical station and logged in. He wanted to be ready in case the base attacked them.

“Captain, I’m assuming all the alarms going off means that Calloway and Dawson were successful?”

Orvos looked back to the tactical station. “It’s what it seems. The alarms sounded down there when the team pulled off the extraction. Any news on your side of things?”

“The Orion we retrieved with Ducante had taken a beating. He was in rough shape, but was able to share that he was being held prisoner AND was about to be sold into slavery. There are others being held and sold as well.”

Callahan’s information was just the ticket they needed. Orvos immediately tapped his combadge while allowing his mind to search for her own on the ship. He had no idea whether she’d even pick up on it, but nevertheless he gave it a go as he spoke. =/\=Bridge to Kingston, a word if you will?=/\= His message was meant to indicate to her that he needed her out of earshot from any bystanders. They knew each other well. if she hadn’t picked it up in his words and voice, perhaps his reaching out would. If it even worked.

=/\=Kingston here,=/\= she said softly.

Once it was clear he could speak, he relayed the new information to her. =/\=I’ve gotten word from Commander Callahan that they rescued an orion who was being held prisoner. Apparently there are others being held in order to be sold into slavery. I have no idea if you or Hammor had any luck in getting more information, but this may help.=/\=

-Captain Orvos Legen, CO

She inhaled an audibly deep breath. =/\=No, we haven’t so far, but yes, I think this might help. Kingston out.=/\=

~Janna Kingston, CNS

Orvos could sense the stress. The audible inhale was enough to tip him off. Anyone having heard that sort of news would likely be taken aback in any case. He allowed her to do her work without further delay.

There were signs of something happening on the installation, and a moment later an NE spoke up. “Captain, there is a small ship leaving the facility. Sensor readings indicate it’s in a hurry as well.”

Orvos’s attention turned to the main viewer as he sat down in his chair to focus. “Helm, lay in an intercept course and engage. Ops, hail that vessel. Let’s a get the name of that vessel and any information you can on its occupants. Pertinent info for now if you can. Let’s be ready to disable them.”

As the crew attempted to hail the ship, Orvos spoke out. =/\=This is the USS Athena. Unidentified vessel, you are not cleared to leave the area. Stand down or we will be forced to disable your vessel.=/\=

-Captain Orvos Legen, CO

The ship ignored their hails, even as the Athena pursued them.

The small vessel was shuttle sized and in a hurry, but the Athena was close enough to close distance easily. A scan would ID the occupant as Kezrick himself. Apparently he had decided to leave everyone behind.

~Mischief Maker

At the tactical station, Harrison fired up the ship’s phasers, ready to fire at the Captain’s command. “Phasers armed, Captain.”

The hail went unanswered and the ship increased its speed to full impusle now that it had cleared the facility far enough.

~Mischief Maker

Orvos had given the small shuttle ample time to respond. “Helm, close the distance. Callahan, disable that vessel.” The orders were simple, yet essential. He had little doubt the shuttle would be caught.

-Captain Orvos Legen, CO

“Aye, sir. Targeting engines and Shield generators.”

Callahan’s fingers flew across the console as phaser energy lance out from the Athena’s forward bateery.
