The voice from the helmet’s synthesizer then said “I have received training in signal decoding and cryptography, Captain. I have also used communications to trace individual targe… er, suspects… from point to point. But if you are referring to random cosmic background noise and natural phenomenon, I must say I will be of little help.” : : : : : : Vonn, Head Guard : : : : “No, I am referring to a signal that will be in need of encryption. It doesn’t appear to have any natural noises, beyond the broken nature of a weak signal, long distance or perhaps a malfunctioning comm system.” She caught the change in his words, but only rose a brow. “Yes, your use of communications to trace these.. suspects, would be useful.” : : : : Bov’ar : : OOC: Bump! : Trin Vonn simply replied “Of course, Captain. Whatever I can do to be of assistance.” Vonn, Head Guard
“After this meeting, it was be appreciated if you could begin your encryption of what you understand throughout the comms. Perhaps have NE Blake work with you, as he is a professional in communications.”

Vonn nodded. “I will contact Mr. Blake as soon as we are done, Captain.”

Vonn, Head Guard

“Aye.” The Captain responded, tapping her fingers against the table. “Do you have any idea where Commander Crafford is?” She asked, somewhat impatient to the matter, now.

“I do not track anyone outside the prison, Captain. That is a job I believe to be the duty of your ship’s Security team.” he said flatly.

Amusement passed through her gaze, as she listened to the literal answer of the Head Guard, “That was rhetorical, Vonn.” She chuckled, pressing her hand against her badge. =^=Bov’ar to Crafford.=^=

OOC: Tagging the Counselor in this, as well.

After a few moments Kitty entered the beige. “ I’m sorry captain one of my kids did not want to go to class I had to chase them. What’s going on?” Kitty asked with a smile.

“It is quite alright, Commander. Do have a seat,” She motioned with a scarred hand for the woman to take a seat. “Recently, by a matter of hours, our communications department was able to pick up traces of a type of comm. We have been, since, able to deduce enough to assume that it is some kind of distress call. That being said, we have no idea where the origin of the call is and why it is being sent out. After all, attempts to retrace the movements of the communique have proven far more fruitless than we could have previously hoped for,” Bov’ar returned to her stiff nature, being Ex-Marine, herself. “The communique is encrypted, either by the form of another language or by a sequence of numbers, hiding the true contents of it, from anyone unworthy of knowing exactly what it holds inside. Unworthy or not, we need to know what is inside of that message. For, due to recent events, it could be answers to our issues and also a cry for help from someone who may or may not have the longest time before they, too, perish like anyone before them.”

“What I need from you two, is to help determine what actions should be taken in response to this call.” She glanced between both of her officers, “Starfleet is in the makings of being contacted regarding this, and will be once a report has been filed. The comm has been documented as an alien source, but yet to be identified.” She paused, “Do either of you have any inkling of what this could possibly be?”

“Without seeing the call in question, it would be pure conjecture to for any opinion, Captain.”

Vonn, HG

“Right,” Bov’ar wasn’t sure why she had forgotten that, turning to the computer system, she spoke clearly. “Computer, play the recent foreign communique we received at 05:39, this morning.”

“Noted: playing.”

The comm came across the speakers of the room, showing itself to be a series of sharp words, each without any direct hint towards English or most standard Federation languages. It was quick, as if the person was in a hurry, and didn’t have much time. This caused the words to be jumbled up, almost resembling an SOS signal, when it came from a dangerous environment. The tone remained much the same, fluctuating consistently between fearful and informative, as if the person was in a state of severe distress. As the comm went on, it was filled with pure static in specific areas, making it difficult to hear what had been said, in those portions. Nearing the end, a shout of an opposing, foreign figure, erupted, before the comm cut of completely, in a loud, abrupt, string of thick static.

“End recording, Computer.” Once done, she looked over at the gathered officers.

Vonn sat motionless for several moments listening. When the recording stopped, he said “Computer, replay transmission. Slow to 75% speed and isolate all non-vocal sound patterns and catalog separately. Isolate voice generated vowel sounds and compare to known Federation and non-Federation species. After replay, specify signal strength at the beginning of the transmission to the signal strength at the end.” As the computer began to compile the requested information, Vonn said “Slowing the speed of the transmission may allow us to pick up familiar words or phrases. Background ambient noise can help identify potential points of origin or environments the sender is in, as well as help in identifying the species of the sender. Signal strength will deteriorate slightly from beginning to end. With that we can determine the approximate distance the message traveled before reaching us, as well as when it may have been sent.”
