BEGINNING ACT 2-Lt. Cmd. Silveira: Artemisians assemble.

[btv.abreu]

((USS Artemis-A, Deck 1, Conference Room))

Vitor leaned back. The only good thing about this briefing was being able to see Nan, after their “excursion” to New Hope. It felt so weird not having Zie with them. They all seem to be leaving so sudden. Genkos, Talos, now Zie.

He wasn’t familiar with Commander Munro, although she gave a very similar vibe as Zie. Professional, experienced, maybe less airlock prone, but the fact they were now forced to take her as their CO felt a little like a blind jump.
But Vitor was there for her. No matter what, she was now their Captain. He made a mental note to eventually give her the ceremonial/traditional Nougat of Command

As the Commander spoke he kept a polite smile, but the shine in his eyes were all to Nan, every time he could glance at her.

Munro: I've received an alert from New Hope that engineer Dariell has gone missing. Commander Silveira, you met them on the ship, any impressions?

Vitor wrinkled his forehead.

Silveira: Well, I felt he was a little… Too inexperienced to be handling Engineering. A bit… Naive, is what it felt… Maybe, too naive…

Munro: :: nods :: I want you to take Lt. Storm, and locate the engineer and find out more about the saboteur, I don't have to remind you to use a soft approach. I don't think the Boraxians will want us pointing or firing phasers at their sacred vessels.

Vitor nodded, he would prefer to keep Alex on board and bring along Cole, but likely Commander Munro certainly had other ideas.

Morgan: Not going to make it easy for us, are they?

Vitor shook his head to Kyle, yet he smiled as his eyes trailed to Nan.

Silveira: No… Certainly not. But that’s why we are here. If it was easy someone else would do it.

Jovenan: Response

Munro: I wonder if there are any Yurum that may not be as devoted to the cause as Luirétt and Vhaljean would have us believe? :: to Silveira :; Take Ensign Tho'Bi and Ensign Meris with you. Meris has a way of cutting through the noise that might be useful, and they are familiar with the Yurum from working with Luirétt. Tho'Bi is familiar with the ship.

Now that builds up his team to four. And he felt it was a better set up.
Tho’Bi had been on the ship and even if he hadn’t worked with Ensign Meris, the Captain’s praise sounded solid.

Silveira: Understood Commander.

Munro: Doctor Morgan I'd like you to work with Sam Richards and Lt. Imril on the discovery they made on New Hope. Take ValhJeahn with you, see if they know anything about it.

Morgan: I’ll see what we can do.

Munro: Commander Jovenan, we will be taking a team to the city ship. Advocate Chavrainne has invited us to join them at the Yurum Sanctuary Spire and Luirétt has agreed to come with us as a representative of the Yurum. This might give us a chance to see what their living conditions are like.

Jovenan: Response

Vitor arched his eyebrow. The Captain and Nan were going right into the giant city ship.
It wasn’t the first time and certainly wouldn’t be the last that they were in different places, but he would feel better if they were both on the same ship. As the acting Captain looked at the huge ship, with the lights, the buildings, Vitor glanced at Nan, smiled at her and nodded.A silent “Keep safe and take care”.

Since they appear to have ended he pulled back his chair and stood up. He gave Nan a wink  as they moved to the door and discreetly rested his hand in her arm. Another silent message, that meant “I love you”.

Once he passed the door he immediately walked to the turbolift. He had a team to assemble.

Once Vitor stepped out he tapped his combadge, opening a line to all his team members.

Silveira: =/\= Silveira to Storm, Meris and Tho’Bi. =/\=

Storm/Meris/Tho’Bi: =/\= Response =/\=

Vitor walked quickly to the transporter room.

Silveira: =/\= Report to me in transporter room three, we are all going to the New Hope ship. Lieutenant Storm get us each one hand phaser, Ensign Meris bring along an extra medical tricorder, Ensign Tho’Bi bring your PADD, but leave your tools. We have to find the sabouter, although we might already have a suspect since we are also looking for someone.

Storm/Meris/Tho’Bi: =/\= Response =/\=

((USS Artemis-A, deck 7, transporter room 3))

Vitor stepped inside the transporter room and nodded to the officer on duty.
He took a deep breath before replying.

Silveira: =/\= Dariell is missing. They can’t find them.=/\=

Storm/Meris/Tho’Bi: =/\= Response =/\=
