Tran's Issue Pt1

Posted on Thursday May 26th, 2022 @ 2:48pm by Lieutenant Finchley Kerr & Lieutenant Commander Curzon Bennett & Lieutenant JG Talerian Maxx

Mission: EPISODE 1: SHAKEDOWN
Location: USS Oberon & USS Huron
Timeline: MD06 0930hrs

OOC: The Huron is carrying disruptor couplings for a Norexxan/Valdore class warbird. It was put on board by a member of Starfleet or the Federation. Those are my only requests for the post, so please feel free to go to town on how you find these things out.

::ON::

Having returned from the Sun Runner a scant half-hour ago, Bennett found himself arguing gently with the Vulcan Mission Adviser once again. He threw his hands up in the air as he conceded her point. 'Very well Lieutenant, you're right. I guess I have had enough fun for one day.' Bennett motioned the officer into Transporter Room One. Sakaan stood off quietly to one side, not quite radiating satisfaction at winning the argument.

He smiled at the gathered officers. 'Good to see you, Commander Kerr, Lieutenant Trennsu, Lieutenant Maxx.' He nodded in his Executive Officer's direction. 'I'm sure you all know the briefing inside and out. The Huron has been transporting disruptor relays - I'd like for you, Lieutenant Maxx, to find out exactly what type of vessel they're for. Commander Kerr Lieutenant Trensu, if you could both get to the bottom of who put those devices aboard, I would be very grateful. Captain Tran will be waiting for you on the Huron.'

Giving a nod Trensu stepped onto the transport pad. First mission how fun thought Trensu. What have we got ourselves into? A hundred scenarios ran through his mind. Trensu did not like any of it.

Maxx adjusted his tool bag and he nodded at the others before stepping on the transport pad. He replied, "This should be an interesting mission."

Captain Tran was in transporter room 2 onboard the Huron. It was his favourite after all and always seemed to be the most reliable one onboard. He was with his First officer Mr. Grax a boisterous Telleraite. Grax was the one who determined that they were carrying disruptor couplings for a capital class starship of Romulan design. Most likely a heavy warbird class such as the Valdorre or the Norwexan class. Without proper intel, though it was almost impossible to tell. The couplers were very large though and looked like they could be placed in an array for planetary defenses. They were not on the official manifest Commodore Stone's loadmaster gave him. But being a true Paranoid and always needing to know what his ship was hauling lest it is illegal. Tran had Grax and his loadmaster Brell inspect the cargo after the fleeters had left. He ultimately had decided to trust Captain Bennet with this information and when he didn't wake up in his bunk with his throat slit he realized he made the right decision. Now he awaited the arrival of Bennett's specialists who were about to beam over.

"Chief Klar, have you sent them the proper beam over coordinates?" Tran asked his Transporter chief.

"Yes, Captain I'm just waiting on their signal". Klar replied.

'Captain Tran, this is Commander Bennett from the Oberon, our team is ready to beam over at your discretion.'

"Bring them aboard Cheif," Tran said.

Energizing.

Tran watched as the three officers from the Oberon materialized on his transporter platform.

"Welcome aboard the Huron, I am Captain Tran, and you are?"

Trensu thought for a moment he was amazed at the ship his first thought was this should be in a museum. "Captain Tran, I am Lieutenant Trensu Chief of Security of the USS Oberon," he said holding out his hand to shake hands with a slight smile.

Tran shook his and said, "Welcome aboard, Lieutenant. Who are your friends,"?

Lieutenant Commander Finchley Kerr, Executive Officer and Lieutenant JG Talerian Maxx Chief Science Officer.

Maxx spoke up, "Lieutenant Talerian Maxx at your service.

Finchley himself didn't say anything, he chose to watch what was happening, deciding whether or not those meeting and greeting them were honest, or not.

"Please follow me to the main cargo bay", Tran said.

Tran lead the party to the turbo-lift and they went down to the main cargo bay which was under guard.

"We've done our best to secure the equipment once we realized what it was.

Inside there were crates the size of small houses. There were Starfleet markings all over them, that matched the manifests but inside were heavy disruptor power couplings by the size of them they were either for huge capital ships or planetary defenses.

"The port authority assures me this is all above board but still I have had my worries and would appreciate any assistance you can offer," Tran said.

"Which one of you is the engineer? I would like you to take a look at our defense and offensive systems". Tran added.

"Sir! I can help you with that Captain Tran" answered lieutenant Trensu.

"Excellent right this way Mr. Trensu." Tran said.
