"We’re holding at two hundred and five kilometers above the mining complex, sir,” announced Ensign Wu the flight control officer from her station.

Ensign Mason still winches as he turns to Captain Martin who is sitting at her chair.

“Still no vessels within scanning range,” said Ensign Mason. “Tachyon detection is negative for cloaking devices.”

That would seem to eliminate your people and the Maquis,” Captain Martin observed as she turned towards Commander H'mpec.

He looks at her.

"But not the Romulans," Commander H'mpec parried.

Kelly shook her head. "It doesn't fit H'mpec. The Romulans have enough problems with raids on their outposts and the power vaccum left by Shizon's death, There’s no strategic or tactical advantage to be gained.”

“Maybe not for the Empire, but the Romulans have more internal factions than before the war. Any one of them might be willing to stir up trouble and blame it on the government.”

Captain Martin looks at the viewer.

"Mr. Mason hail Starfleet Command let them know we'll be a little late to meet up with the Titan and her escorts, and inform them of the status of the outpost remains unknown," Captain Martin says as she looks at him.

He inputs commands into the console.

"Aye Captain sending signal to Starfleet Command, and I'm picking up life-signs extremely faint but their there in the outpost command post if it wasn't for this damn radiation I could get a clear reading," Ensign Mason says as he looks at his console and then at Captain Martin and Commander H'mepc.

The Captain smiled wanly. “Never one to pass up a good old conspiracy theory, are you, XO?” She became serious once more. "Prep an away team well armed I might add."

He nods and gets up. "Mitchell, Mason your with me Commander Lee and Doctor Donaldson meet us in transporter team with a security team," and he and the two officers enter the turbolift to head to the transporter room.

Commander H'mepc, Ensign Mason, Lieutenant Mitchell, Doctor Donaldson, Commander Lee and two security guards Materialized in what's left of the command center of the outpost as the Doctor checks the officers laying everywhere with her tricorder. "Their all dead," Doctor Donaldson says as he looks at Commander H'mepc.

Then they found three survivors of the attack as Doctor Donaldson walks over to them and scans them with his tricorder, "I need to get them to the Archer for medical treatment,"

Commander H'mpec nods.

"Donaldson to Archer three to beam directly to sickbay,"

The four dematerialized back to the Archer as Kaylee scans one of the consoles with a hyprospanner as Commander H'mepc walks over to her.

"Report Commander?" Commander H'mpec says as he looks at her.

She turns to him.

"Well whoever attacked did some serious damage to this place I can download their sensor logs we can figure out what happened," Commander Lee says as she looks at the Klingon Commander.

He looks at her and nods She gets ready to work on the relays and hooks a wire from the computer case to the console and activates it as it downloads the logs.

Commander H'mpec sees the dead bodies and sees some are Klingons and silence prays for their passing to the afterlife, he goes back to Commander Lee who is finished downloading the logs from the damaged computer console.

"H'mpec to Archer five to beam up," Commander H'mpec says as he tapped his combadge.

The transporter beam dematerialized the Away Team.

As the Team beams away several soldiers were watching the Away Team from the shadows.
