Daniels stepped into the Station security and held up his ID and credentials again. He wasn't here for his licenses. In point of fact, he could not give less of a damn about them.

"I need to file a report for a ship being waylaid, the crew being abducted, and I need the requisition forms for a S.C.I.S. detachment to investigate what happened on a vessel that just arrived in tow." Daniels interrupted the administrative assistant who was helping someone else.

"Excuse me, sir, I'm helping this woman with-" The Admin assistant began.

"Does it rank higher than 32 people missing or dead?" Daniels demanded. "Where the hell is Darkmoon? He'll blood listen to me. Or Maddison."

"They're busy, mister Daniels." The Admin assistant noted.

"You didn't even page them, Chief Warrant Officer. And it's Civilian Captain Daniels. Not Mister. Thank you." He added, staring down the woman expectantly.

Krang walked out of his office to see what the shouting was about. "What can I do for you, Daniels?"

Daniels held up a PADD. "Calysto Trading Conglomerates needs your attention. One of the passenger ships was waylaid through means my ship can't determine, and either the entire crew was vaporized or kidnapped."

Krang's disposition changed immediately. "So you found the ship, but it's empty?"

"We towed it in. Nobody on. I know the regs. We've been using our shields to prevent transport activity onto it." Daniels nodded. "Scans are included on the PADD."

Krang took the PaDD and glanced over the contained information. "Well, this is really weird," he commented. "Any sign of what might have happened?"

"Nothing that turned up in our scans." Daniels winced. "Thus the request form for a formal SCIS team to go over the ship with a fine tooth comb, so that the perpetrators can be caught."

Krang turned to the assistant manning the front desk. "Call for Lieutenant Trensu. Tell him we need him down here on the double," he ordered.

Looking around the multi-level commercial and service area. the Promenade. getting to know the shops and area. with a chirp from Trensu's comm badge. "Security Op's to Lieutenant Trensu."

"Lieutenant Trensu here." he answered. 'What could it be now?' thought Trensu.

"Sir, you're needed in Security Station in the commercial level."

Thinking for a moment he knew he had to come up with a better naming scheme for the different stations throughout the station.

He answered "On my way, Trensu out." and then closed the link.

He walked to the station quickly it only took him two minutes to get there. Walking in, Trensu saw the place was busy. The Warrant Officer signaled for Trensu to come over. "What can I do for you, Chief?" asked Trensu.

Daniel looked towards the incoming man, and raised his eyebrows. Definitely the man in charge by how the rest of the department reacted to him. Except Krang. Expected. "The civilian personnel transport was attacked. 39 people were abducted. The ship is currently being held at station keeping. No one on or off, as per regs." Daniels paused. "It's my company's ship, but I've got a soft spot for Starfleet. Rather than having the civilian authorities handle this, considering it's a potential threat to ships in the area, I'd appreciate it if you could put together a team to investigate what happened to them."

Trensu eyes widened as he looked at the report. "Who authorized this ship to be towed in?" Asked Trensu. "I did not clear it. Was scanned before it was brought to the station Chief?" he asked looking at the Warrant Officer.

He looked at Daniels "We will look into this. If it happened in are area of operation then we have to look into it." said Trensu

"Not to speak out of turn, Sir, but AoP or not, these are Federation citizens that have been attacked and are missing, If you don't help him, I will." Krang said, anger clear in his voice. "Regulations be damned!"

Trensu eyes focus on Daniels "You will follow regulations, Sir! If we are all dead on this station because of something on that ship how would that help the missing people!" Trensu says sternly. He softens his tone and says "I said I would look into this and I will. We have protocols for a reason. It is for the safety of everyone. This oversight is not your fault." said Trensu

Looking around, Trensu then looked at the Warrant Officer's report. I will shoot it up the chain of command too. Others will need to know about this. Make sure the ship is quarantined and secure twenty-four-seven. I don't want anyone on that ship without me knowing and Oking it by me, Chief."

Trensu looked back at Daniels. "I have to warn you your ship is Federation property until this investigation is over. Yes, I am impounding your ship. Chief get him the necessary papers to sign." ordered Treuse.

"Aye, Sir." was the simple response from the Chief.
