DAY 67 (thu) cont....

It was about noon in Schtackburg when they started using the shuttle to scan for Vidiian
lifesigns across the city.

This method lacked resolution though so they decided to set up boosters. Towards this end Noxus
replicated nine signal boosters (In dimensions - a tube about three feet long) and Kirk teleported
him to the roof of the hospital and set one up as an initial test.

It seemed to give clear readings of life signs out to about 200m of the hospital. It wasn't all good
news though, on the way back Kirk made a mistake with the transporter and instead of bringing him
back to the shuttle dropped Noxus in the river!

Much to the astonishment of a nearby tourist boat he trod water for a bit and then vanished when
Kirk got a good lock on him and finaly returned him to the shuttle.

They set up programs to interpret the data and put another booster on a taller tower in the centre
of the city. Kirk had a brain wave though and replicated some drones. Using existing templates in
the replicator for such devices he created a flying vehicle about 75cm square that had a rotor on
each corner and could lift the weight of the sensors.

They then transported it to a few hundred metres above the city and flew it remotely on its first
test flight. This went well so they replicated three more.

After the drones did a full sweep of the city the data showed that there were about 200 Vidiian's
in the city! Kirk let out a deep sigh, this was more than they could handle!

They used a communicator to listen in on the Vidiians coms. Next Noxus managed to get a lock on
a single vidiian and beam the unlucky being onto the shuttle where Kirk contained him in a
forcefield.

The Vidiian was naturally fearful, but refused to help them,
'I won't help you! Do with me... as you will!'

Kirk started to restrict the forcefield, crushing his victim,
'This is most uncomfortable!'
As the forcefield grew smaller the vidiian started to cry and wept,
'I have a wife and family you know!'

Kirk turned the forcefield black and left it alone for ten minutes,
'Release me, you buffoons!' cried the vidiian,
'We will release you, 30 miles up in space!', threatened Kirk.
'OK, OK.', pleaded the vidiian, 'All I know is that one of the bombers is called Borux, I can
tell you where his hideout is and where is meeting point is, but that's all I know!'

Kirk thanked the vidiian and teleported him 30 miles in a random direction. The poor fellow most
likely landed in the sea.

Next Kirk wrote a program to monitor the vidiians communicator for words like 'cell', 'bomb' and
'initiate'.

It was 6pm local time now so they replicated some food and ate. When it was time to get started on finding
Borux, Kirk sprayed himself in Treebadian odour and Noxus transported him to the roof of the bombers
building.

After he'd scanned it he was then transported inside to a living room. The scanner showed up some vidiian
tech but was otherwise empty. There was also two envelopes which he took back to the shuttle to translate.

They moved the drones to the address on the second envelope. Karlsvagen Street. It was now 7pm.

Scans showed a single vidiian lifesign and some tech. Kirk transported onto the roof. Noxus tried to transport
the vidiian out of the flat but accidentally killed him by dropping him in mid air.

Once inside the flat, Kirk searched it and found a large metallic suitcase. It was a bomb! A scan showed it to
be a small nuclear device. Noxus teleported it out into space. 20,000 km, the maximum range of the transporter.

Kirk came back to the shuttle. Shortly afterwards, at 10pm, they lost a drone. Kirk built another one and attached
a comms badge to it. Noxus tried to transport back the lost one's remains but could not get a lock on it.

They also overheard some comms traffic. One vidiian was warning the others to use forcefields to protect their
bombs. It seemed that Starfleet's presence was now know on of on Treebad.

The drones were doing their job though and located another house where two vidiians and a bomb were located.
This was on street called Brännkyrkagatan.

Once more Kirk beamed into the area to get more detailed scans with his tricorder. Out on the street, Kirk could see that
Treebadian police were using search lights. He assumed they were looking for his drones.

The detailed scans complete, Noxus's first attempt to transport out the vidiians failed and they starting to run from
their flat. His next lock succeeded and he transported the vidiians and the bomb out into space. Then he locked onto
Kirk and beamed him back to the shuttle.

Kirk beamed back the drones and tried to make them more stealthy, painting them matt black and covering up the flashing
lights on the boosters.

DAY 68 (fri)

The drones had already identified the next target. The Vidiians were in a park called Hummelgarden. Five vidiians and
the bomb were located in an ornamental garden near the middle of the park.

Kirk brought in the drones to get a closer look of the area. The lost comms to one of the drones and were down to three
again. There were a lot of Treebadian police at the north entrance of the park.

Kirk and Noxus transported to a spot a hundred metres or so north of the bomb. Noxus approached directly while Kirk
circled around. Noxus stepped on a twig though and the twitch vidiians started shooting. Kirk and Noxus returned fire,
a heavy firefight began. The vidiians had a force field around the small garden, this meant that Kirk had to find the
frequency of the shield before he could shoot into it.

Noxus was hit and took cover behind a tree. A vidiian hunted after him, but he beamed out. Kirk downed one of the vidiians
and then another, using his sniper phase-rifle. But the return fire was too heavy and he was out in the open, so, badly
injured he also beamed back to the shuttle.

The vidiian forcefield was preventing them from getting a lock on to it with the transporter. Kirk brought the drones
down lower and then lower still to try and scan the forcefield. Eventually they got a lock and beamed the bomb out into
space, but they lost another drone in the process.

Breathing a sigh of relief they moved the drones back up into the clouds. Noxus beamed up the forcefield generator from
the park and 300kg of machinery arrived in the small cargo area.
