PREFACE

STARDATE 76138.4
USS BOHR was assigned duty to the Helthian system. Upon arrival Captain Sureth engaged a Helthian cruiser carrying stolen children from a non aligned planet. Henceforth Captain Sureth made a direct order that any engagements with Helthian vessels must include a full inspection for unwilling slaves.

< Present Day >

A lingering Helthian freighter slowly made its way into the M-69 tractor range as it had lost navigation controls.

Holding watch at Tactical Lt Salem quickly acted and seized the craft with the tractor beam and stabilised it into a mooring hold.

Lt Salem was actually a coms officer and only held the tactical post out of habit. His first call was to Chief Fontaine.

" Security this is Lt Salem. A Helthian freighter is in mooring. Commodore Sureths standing order is to always inspect Helthian ships for contraband and slaves."


Salem then reported to the acting first officer.

" Ops to Commander Wallace, a Helthian freighter has been given a mooring in slip 12. Security has been dispatched to inspect." Lt Salem reported to the acting first officer.

David looked at the readouts, "Acknowledged, security unit is enroute, ops out." he shifted in his seat, "Ops to security team three reroute to slip 12 to support inspection team."

< Helthian Ship >

Inside the sealed vessel the Helthian skipper secured his holds and awaited the arrival of security. He did not know of Sureth personally but had been warned to stay away from the Federation ships and stations. But with his ship needing repairs he couldn't avoid it this time.

Behind one of the sealed doors a secret laid up. A secret with tears and with hurt as it's captivity remained. Far from its home the secret mourned inside itself unsure it would ever be found.

Isabelle frowned as she walked the corridor, someone, somewhere was giving off waves of fear, bordering on terror. Following her senses she eventually arrived at the slip where the Helthian freighter was docked. “Security! There’s someone aboard that ship whose in danger!”

Eight security officers arrived to Dock 12 and immediately searched the ship. Finding only minor infractions the Skipper was arrested and taken into custody.

But still the broken hearted voice inside Isabella's mind could be heard reminding her of John absence from his loved ones.

Isabelle stood arguing her point with one of the security officers. “I’m telling you there’s someone in there!!” She motioned to the ship. “I can feel someone in there!”

The last guard turned around and completed his tricorder scan.

" No life forms aboard Counselor. Without permission from Command to personally open the bulk heads I am afraid I have done all I can do." a warrant officer replied.

“Fine!” Isabelle hit her comm badge. “Veran-Dallas to Ops, I need a member of the command staff at slip 12 right away!”

By chance Sureth was heading to the outer ring and answered.
" I am on my way," Sureth out.

The security officer remained and scanned his tricorder again but his readings were the same. But when Sureth arrived he took the tricorder from the warrant officer's hand and read the readings

" There is a trap door here. Probably shielded in lead or other course metal. Scan for lead."

The warrant officer complied and seconds later Sureth's suspicion was right.

" Sir I found it. There is a body in here wrapped in a form.of cocoon. Like a wool blanket."

" Pull it out easy. Sureth to sickbay meet us at Docking Port 12." Sureth called out.

" Yes sir."

< Sick Bay >

Hearing the call Ramvek tapped his comm "On my way Commodore" he stated then proceeded to grab his 'go bag', this contained a medical try-corder and basic medical supplies always at the ready, turning to Lieutenant Stone "There must be an emergency at Docking Port 12....if I need more supplies I'll call you to beam them directly to me" Doctor Willams explained. Lieutenant Stone gave the Doctor a nod of understanding.

< Helthian Ship >

Arriving a few minutes later Williams saw something wrapped tightly in some sort of a cocoon like covering from head to toe "What the hell....." he stated out loud as he bent down opening his bag grabbing the tri-corder scanning the individual. Looking at the Commodore "It's alive but not by much.....we need to remove that covering now." Tapping his comm "Lieutenant Stone please send me two of our longest locking forceps and a plasma scalpel to my location" Williams ordered.

"On it Doctor" Lieutenant Stone replied. A few minutes later "On their way to you now Doctor Williams."

Moments later the requested items appeared a meter from Ramvek. Grabbing the forceps he rolled the individual on its side. One was attached at the neck and the other at the butt. Turning to Security "You grab this force and you the other. When I tell you pull away from the person as hard as you can so I can cut through the material" Ramvek ordered hoping this would work.

Getting into position Ramvek looked to the two Security Officers "Ok pull hard as you can" he ordered was the men did as requested. Williams got into position and slowly started cutting through the material which cut like soft butter. Once finished he grabbed his medical scissors and finished cutting away the material to reveal a young person probably about thirteen or fourteen years of age as Ramvek Inquired "Hi I'm Doctor Williams can you hear me....can you tell me your name?"

It was a young female humanoid and she looked straight up at Ramvek and bowed into its fetal position.

Sureth approached and asked.
" Is it..she alive?"

Looking up at Sureth "Yes but barely....she's a teenage female and she needs to get to Sick Bay stat" Williams replied as he tapped his comm "Transporter Room two, Doctor Williams here. Lock onto my signal....I need an emergency sight to sight transport....Primary Sick Bay."

"Understood....initiating transport now" as the Doctor and the young women disappeared from sight.

[Primary Sick Bay]

Mirana stayed coiled in her umbilical position as scans and tests began running around her. Instead if going to Ops Sureth joined Isabella in the waiting area.

" Isabella is the girl telepathic or were you just sensing her?" Sureth asked.

Isabelle looked at her father. “I could feel her emotions, her mind was...reaching out to me!” She gave the girl a curious look. “Who are you? Talk to us, to me..”

Meanwhile Doctor Williams checked his test results "Nurse Stone administer 20cc's of saline every half hour for the next four hours; this patient is dehydrated" he ordered.

"As you wish Doctor" Heidi replied then started the process as ordered.

Ramvek also noticed her minerals and electrolytes were sorely lacking so he made up a cocktail of vitamins and various electrolytes then gave it to her in a hypo spray "There, now rest, breathe easy and let the medicine do it's job" he commented out loud then looking at Heidi "Nurse Stone please keep a close eye on our patient for the rest of your shift then bring your replacement up to speed before you leave for the day."

"Absolutely Doctor, she'll get my special attention" Heidi replied with a smile.

Mirana turned her face to look at Ramvek, her deep eyes and humble disposition beamed into Ramveks soul.

" Please don't leave me ."

Doctor Williams was relieved hearing the young women speak as he smiled "Hello I am Doctor Williams and you are in a medical facility....can you tell me your name" he inquired.

The young woman nodded as she looked at Ramvek. “Mirana.”

"Mirana you have been treated shamefully by your captors. You were dehydrated not to mention malnourished. We have given you some medications to relieve your symptoms. So how are you feeling now" Williams explained before asking her current status.

Mirana offered a shy yet alluring smile. “Better than I was, thank you Doctor Williams.”

Isabelle, who was still observing the new arrival was curious about Mirana. Though right now she seemed more interested in Ramvek.

"You are welcome; as a Doctor that is my function here on the Base" Ramvek stated with a smile pleased to see his new patient coming along "You will most likely be here for awhile until you get your strength back and Command gets this whole situation sorted.

Isabelle wasn't the only one noticing the young women's interest in the Doctor. Nurse Stone was close by not sure if she was liking this situation or not; but she was determined not to let jealousy get the best of her.

Sureth stepped away and called Captain Callaghan to come to sickbay.


< BRIG >

The Helthian skipper demanded to be seen by command as he was sure he had been violated.

Tapping his comm badge the brig officer called Acting First Officer Wallace.

" Sir this ...person is pitching a fit to be seen. He attacked me before I could put him in the brig."

"Hold them until I can get down there." David growled as he started to make his way to a turbolift.
Complying the Helthian skipper was again held apart from his crew just in case.

Entering the detention area David looked around, "What's going on?" he said looking too the security officer.

" Sir this crew has begun a buzzing chant that is starting to give some of the guards migraine headaches." the lead guard stated.

David could hear the noise, "Let's see if we can find a way to null out the frequencies that are problematic." he said referring to finding specific inverse frequencies that would nullify or reduce the impact of the noise being made by the alien crew.

Lt Salem from communications soon joined Wallace and aided in the omitted noise factor. A few minutes later sheer silence again filled the brig.

" Good job Commander. You'll make a great comm chief one day if that command stuff doesn't work out." Salem replied as a joke.

The Helthian Skipper then approached his cell as he looked to Wallace.

" I need a deal. I need immunity and protection. I was to deliver the package to the Azzul. If I don't show up with her they'll place a bounty on my head."

David looked at the alien, his initial thought was to pull out his concealed phaser and incinerate the alien right there for being involved in sentient being smuggling so he looked as icy cold toward the captain "I can't make any promises about something like that, but I'll mention it to the station commander."

The Helthian skipper didn't blink but then sat down on the bunk to ponder his future.
