OOC: Current orders for bridge crew: Tactical - see if you can find any ships that leaving in a hurry. Science - scans to see if you can find out where the intruder beamed to. Comms - search for comm signals. Engineering: Make sure navigation, engines, and docking clamps are working so we can get underway.

“Alright, any word from the station on any transports from the Sentinel to them or from here and away to anywhere?”

It had taken him a lot of time to find his way to the bridge since the lifts were down. Moving on the edge of the bridge, everyone there felt peace, calm and little excited to be on the bridge. He scanned the room and found the captain. “Sir, Lieutenant Junior Grade Dovek reporting” he said looking around. He was not sure how everyone would receive him, there was obviously a lot going on, people were likely stressed before he came into the room and now they were not. Some people did not like the effect that he had on the room, it made them feel out of control, most did not mind or got used to it.

Asam turned in her chair, feeling the familiar presence of a Deltan. She turned with a genuine smile. “Lt Dovek, welcome to the Sentinel.” She stood and walked towards him. “Are you settled and ready to get to work?” The captain appeared to not be affected at all.

Zarils posture shift slightly his eyes narrowing, but it was only for a moment. He tilted his head in a nod. “I am ready to do what I can, though I’m not sure the problem at hand needs a linguist” he said moving closer to her so he could make her out better.

“Right now, perhaps not a linguist, but a comms specialist. We’ve had a saboteur on board. Once the computer is back on, which should be…” suddenly all the consoles lit up, “now. I want you to examine the records and sensor data for any comm signals from that time. Approximately 2 hours ago. I’d like you to search the last 5 hours to start with.”

Cpt. Asam, CO

A well of excitement burst within it was momentary but people close by would have felt it. ‘finally something to do’ he thought. “Aye Captain” he said and found the comms station and sat down.

First he ran a routine to sample the daily traffic patterns for the last thirty days. Isolated the coms by posted shift hours and compared the last thirty days with the last 7 hours , he then separated the coms into two types, regular communications for those the followed the ships routine based on shifts and personnel. The algorithms only took a few minutes. Happy with his work he smiled and executed the code.

It took several minutes for the computer to spit out results. At first there didn’t seem to be anything that didn’t fall under regular communications, until Zaril looked closer and a few of those ‘regular’ communications seemed too bulky to be so simple.

Cpt. Asam, CO

“Interesting” he mumbled to himself. “Captain, I have Isolated a few communication’s that look,” he paused. “Suspicious”. He looked back at her, ” I would like permission to open them up.” he requested

Rende nodded, “Do it. Whatever you have to, I’ll clear it with the Brass.” Better to ask forgiveness.

Zaril liked this captain already, a little on the edge is a great quality for a leader. “Aye” he said a small smirk forming on his mouth. He turned and started listening to the transmissions one at a time. He also ran scan’s for embedded message both in and out of the normal hearing bands. If there was something in the messages he would find it, he almost always did. It was only a mater of time.

He looked around the bridge, no one really seemed to be paying him much attention even with his presence. It was refreshing to say the least.

The audio part of the messages really didn’t have anything abnormal to say. There was something more in the lower frequencies, but it wasn’t an audio file.

Zaril’s eyes narrowed with focus, he started isolating and removing tones , something the the lower harmonics, he noted and listened again.

There wasn’t so much audio as static that seemed to be somewhat rhythmic.

EvilJen, DDoSFEO

Drovek slowed the speed down.. listening closer for a pattern, and looped it through the computer telling it to analyze the sound for patterns anything encryption codes. It was something he just need to figure out what. He leaned in listing slowing and speeding it back up

The computer came back with an analysis and defined pattern for the rhythm. It was almost similar to old Earth Morse Code, but it wasn’t that.

Stepping onto the bridge, Alden moved directly to the science station. With the computers working again he pulled the sensor logs looking for clues as to where the intruder went.

Sensor logs showed the transport made a bunny hop to the station, then another docked ship, and then back to the station and was lost in the traffic of the station.

~ Cmdr Alden, XO/CSO
Alden felt a warmth, a sense of calm and peace as he entered the bridge.

“Captain,” Zaril said. “I’ve got something” he said as he looked at the sender and recipient for names. His hands danced on the surface, trying to isolate the log to ensure the names had not been changed.

Rende stood from her chair. She nodded to Alden as she walked past his station. “What do you have Lt.?” she asked crisply. The comms themselves hadn’t been changed or tampered with. They went where they were supposed to, but the extra data seemed to bounce to different messages in an attempt to make it off the station.

Cpt. Asam, CO

“Captain” he said “I have isolated these message here” he said pointing to the list. “They contain a subsonic pattern that is not normal, it appears to be some sort of code” he said opening it and showing the pattern. “I have not figured it all out yet as it’s very, complex” he said, This here,, ‘ship’ and this waylaid’ and I think ‘Success’.” he said zooming to the link relays. “I’m trying to determine origin, but I’m not sure if that would help, it looks like whoever it was used someone else, well several someone else’s comms to relay the message.” He turned back to her, “I don’t think I’ll be able to tell who it’s from, but given a little more time I think I can tell you where it went” he said smiling at her.

Rende nodded, “Good work. Keep working on it.” She turned addressing her tactical officer, Ra’TI. “If they think we were waylaid, that may give us a chance to sneak up on them. Plot out a course to Cipharus III that will have the best likelihood of going unnoticed.”

The comms whistled [O]Master Chief to bridge, reboot was successful, we’re doing some final repairs but you should have Warp capabilities within the hour[O]

Master Chief Karl - CE

Rende stepped back to her chair and pushed the comm button. [O]Thank you Master Chief. Good work and pass on my thanks to you and your team. Bridge out.[C]
