To anyone in range… We just had a breakout from the Federation maximum security facility here on Fanux!

Thank you for coming. I’m Chief Warden Jacek. We are in the process of cleanup, but the escapees are long gone.

Who escaped?

The crew of the Serene Squall – pirates, slavers, and murderers, all sent here by Captain Pike after they attacked the USS Enterprise.

They have served only a fraction of their sentence, and now appear to have made a similar error of judgement, rallying under a new leader.

They broke out during the night, took back their ship, breached our blockade, and disappeared from our sensors. Starfleet is chasing them down, with little success.

If you’d care to join the hunt, we would be most grateful. Jacek out.

An intriguing challenge, would you not agree, Commander? I would like to investigate the wreckage of the blockade at the edge of this system, to see if I can determine a warp vector.

Dialogue
The Serene Squall made light work of these blockade ships. An impressive amount of ordnance was evidently launched by both parties. Some of the ships were drones, but alas not all.

Character
Warden Jacek
Dialogue
Be careful in that debris field – we’ve recovered our dead, but not yet made the area safe to traverse. Logic would also dictate that that is the last place you will find the Serene Squall.

I think the Warden just showed why she is not a member of the Vulcan Science Academy, nor even a Starfleet Science Officer.

It should be trivial for the bridge crew and I to determine the Serene Squall’s escape vector.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We simply have to derive the trajectory of their torpedoes from the trajectory of the debris, which in turn will yield their flight path at the moment they went to warp.

We have it. They headed for the Noakyn system. Where, perhaps not coincidentally, there was a recent distress call.

More debris, with damage characteristic of the Serene Squall’s armaments. No life signs detected.

But the good news is that I can derive another heading: Azati, an Independent system. They were clearly in a hurry to vacate Federation space.

Pike to Commander. You did good, helping that colony. Starfleet has brought me up to speed on the Serene Squall situation, though it looks like you’ve done most of the heavy lifting already!

It seems illogical that they did not use your experience with these pirates from the start. I parsed your previous mission report.

Pike
Dialogue
Oh you did? Not the kind of mission I’d like to repeat, truth be told. Perhaps they thought I was better utilized defending the border against House Hurak. Things are not going well.

Speaking of which, it seems the Squall flew headlong into Hurak territory.

Yes, the logs we received from the colonists appear to confirm that.

Pike
Dialogue
At least they’re not out for revenge on the Enterprise. Not yet anyhow. Starfleet tells me their new Captain, Riona, is a force to be reckoned with. They want in on the Transogen action, you think?

That would be a logical assumption.

Pike
Dialogue
Spock said the same. Though if the Federation can’t figure out how the Hurak are using it to turn themselves into psychokinetic super soldiers, then I don’t think a pirate crew will fare any better.

Certainly not this one, no matter who’s leading them now.

Dialogue
Well, far be it from me to steal all the glory. The Enterprise will hold here to guard the exit. But I think you can handle the Serene Squall yourself. Bring them in, Commander!

The distress call is coming from the third planet – a rural Romulan farming colony.

Dialogue
If my Romulan language model is up to date, I believe the Serene Squall destroyed their buildings and raided their harvest. Crossing this many light years must be hungry work.

Independent vessel, can you help us? No one has shown us the time of day, and we are far from the Star Empire. An unknown ship destroyed our homesteads.

We’ve lost many of our people and even our foodstuffs. The injured will struggle to convalesce without repairs to our infrastructure.

I told them we are searching for their attacker. They are prepared to trade the sensor readings they took in exchange for 15,900,000 Parsteel.

Dialogue
The Serene Squall’s gas trail ends here at Galorndon Core. Asteroid detritus suggests that a ship recently mined a large quantity of Tritanium.

They may have realized they’d sprung a leak, and so repaired their hold.

Incoming distress call from Velestra – a remote system on the edge of Romulan space, and remarkably close to Hurak territory.

Dialogue
Azati contains no debris consistent with weapons fire from the Serene Squall. Deriving their next maneuver could be more difficult.

Then again: the Serene Squall is a mining vessel, is it not? Scans I conducted in P'Jem indicated that Starfleet was using the ship to mine Raw Gas.

If it sustained damage during its escape, it may be venting gas. Scanning the system…

It seems I was correct. But the trail leads deep into Romulan territory. Galorndon Core, to be precise.
