Mission: Mission 78 - Colonial Uprising
T'Lar was getting ready to board the Essex to patrol the Triangle border. She changed her daughter's diaper, dressed her and then kissed her goodbye. Brandon came running in, "Are you leaving?"
She crouched down to his level, "Yes but I am not going far. I will be back before you know it. While I am gone, I need you to help daddy out with your sister."
Brandon shrugged, "Okay." She gave him a hug, kissed her husband goodbye after handing him their daughter and made her way to her ship. But before she reached her destination, her combadge went off.
"Bremer to T'Lar, meet me in my Office, immediately."
"On my way." She stopped in her tracks, turned and made her way to his office. She rang the chime and waited for a response.
“Enter.” Mike replied to the chime. His tone was cold, not with T’Lar but with the situation.
“Have a seat.” He said as he handed his XO a PADD.
“The situation has become more intense. As you know, the Yorktown recovered one of the missing Sydney class Runabouts, however it’s cargo was missing and the pilot was killed. We’ve identified the pilot as Sam Winter, our former Tactical Operation’s Officer’s brother. Other forensic evidence at the scene has suggested only one person boarded the Runabout, Damian Highsmith.” Mike’s expression shown concern and anger.
She was taken aback, "Highsmith? When was the last time anyone saw him?"
“It’s been several days since he was last seen. Major Hurd had a meeting with him that Highsmith didn’t show up for. He’d told his aid he had work to do and would be in his Quarters. When the information from the Yorktown came in, Security checked and Highsmith was gone, we’re not sure how he left the Station yet.” Mike paused a moment to let everything sink in.
Deela listened intensely, "I see."
“I’ve issued an arrest warrant for the former Lieutenant Colonal and changed all of his access codes. That’s also why I’ve placed the station on Yellow Alert.” He paused as he stood up and looked out the window, “There’s more going on here than just a simple pirate raid. We have stolen Federation equipment, five colonies that have now formally broken away from the Federation, two well trained Starfleet Officers what have resigned or gone AWOL, and a pirate leader recently broken out of prison.” Mike turned to look back at T`Lar.
“I’m promoting Major Hurd to acting CO of the First Marine Division. I want him to accompy you aboard the Essex, along with two full platoons of Marines. I want you to be fully combat ready. If you locate any of the missing runabouts I want them recovered and returned here or eliminated.” Mike looked into T’Lar’s eyes, so she knew how serious he was.
Her eyes met with his, "Understood. I'll get on it as soon as we are finished here." There was a lot to process. Deela had a lot of questions that she knew he couldn't answer at this time, "Let's just hope that no one else decides to join these pirates."
Mike nodded, "Agreed. Good hunting Deela."
As T'Lar left the office, Mike picked up a PADD and looked over a map of the area. He wanted to take the Pegasus out there too, but he knew his place was aboard Starbase 400 directing everything...for now...
