ACTION REPORT : DERELIC SPACE SHIP : BANEAN SYSTEM : ID #AA950224

REPORT AUTHOR : Crewman Lydia Anderson

Mission began at 0700. Shuttle Tereshkova left Voyager at 0805.

Arrived at space hulk (ID #AA950224) at 1317. Full armour, weapons and ammo checks carried out during journey.
Had a light lunch of ration bars at 1204. Drank 300ml of water.

Initially Ensign Kirk orbited the hulk a few times, scanning it and hailing it on all frequencies.
There was no response to the hails.

Envoy Mioen attempted to hack into the computer systems found to be active on board the hulk but was met by
counter-measures and a counter-hack.

Envoy Mioen then used her mysterious powers to scan the ship and reported that she had detected three beings,
'One person is fearful, changing to apprehensive, one is sleeping and the other is doing a task or job. This
third person is fading from my view as they pass further into the ship.'

Ensign Kirk replicated a 'Comms Limpet', a sort of jury rigged comms probe and launched it at the hulk where
it latched onto the hull and relayed comms further in via vibration.

Having no visible affect, Kirk, more cautious in his approach since loosing command of the Aeroshuttle, contacted
Voyager for instructions via Subspace and was told by Captain Janeway to 'Board the ship.'

Ensign Kirk replicated a 10kg power generator, reasoning it would come in handy for powering up systems within the
hulk.

We all donned our Enviro Suits and the Tereshkova entered an open docking bay. Once on a landing pad we exited the
shuttle and approached a set of doors at the rear of the bay. Ensign Kirk powered a control panel and the holographic
image of the ship's avatar appeared.
The universal translator allowed us to understand it and it informed us that the hulk was the wreck of the USS EVENT
TURTLE and that her name was Fatima. Her last logs were dated from 45 years ago. Her AI core was further into the ship
and weighed 350kg. She proved us with schematics of the vessel, as it was 45 years ago anyway and the floor plans were
downloaded to our tricorders and datapads.

Setting a course for the AI core we manually jacked open an interior door and advanced inwards. Mioen continued to
seek out the minds of those within.

We were soon attacked by a group of Vidiian crewmen, Vidiian Infiltrators and a new type of being we christened 'Vidnids'.
I have no training in xeno-anthropology but I would describe them as horrible genetically twisted beings about the size
of a dog with eight spindly legs and the rotting heads similar to that of normal Vidiians but with more eyes and teeth.
They were terrible in appearance and quick, but usually a single phaser rifle shot is enough to kill them.

We met the first batch of them in a large loading area, then the next lot down a corridor where they had set up some
crates as a barricade. Once we'd finished the off Kirk revived an injured one who didn't say much more than,
'We are the Vidiian Peoples Front - We laugh in the face of death!'

Moving closer to the CCR (Central Control Room) Mioen 'Suggested' to this Vidiian that he should help us. Round the
corner to the CCR she also suggested this to the one that seemed to be in charge. This held them back from attacking
us, but we were attacked by more Vidnids.

Mioen then started to try and persuade them to trade the AI core with us. Kirk and Mioen were forgetting the main mission
I suspected being greatly interested in the AI and neglecting our main objective which was to stop whatever the Vidiians
were up to here. Mioen had detected being in distress who were most likely prisoners, but this had all been forgotten about
in the push to the CCR.

So I was glad when Kirk contacted Voyager and appraised them of the current situation and the following subspace messages
were relayed via the shuttle,
Janeway : 'AI not a priority, rescuing the prisoners is.'
Kirk    : 'Request for confirmation? Authorised to use force to recover prisoners?'
Janeway : 'As last resort yes.'

Kirk nodded grimly as he read the message and we returned to the barricade. We booby trapped the bodies with concussion
and stun grenades and headed down to where we thought the prisoners were located.
