Mara stepped out of the turbolift and looked around. She stayed at the back of the Bridge, quietly assuming control of an empty tactical station and catching herself up with the environment around the Artemis.
What have we got here… Dominion era defence platforms, around a tiny ball of rock with an installation on it? Why do I have a horrible feeling that that mudball is in my short-term future…
The Security Chief parsed the information in front of her quickly and listened as Maxas-Darl reported back about runabouts.
Runabouts? I really don’t want to even entertain the idea of tryin' to sneak past actual fightin' ships and defence platforms in order to land on a hostile base. That’s not how I wanted to go out. Assumin’ that’s even the plan. I’ve heard like two seconds of conversation on a deeper analysis she thought to herself.
OK. Let’s see what we’ve got here. I wanna see if my earlier thought had somethin’ to it. Did the Klingons and Cardassians build this, or did they just stumble onto it? If it’s the latter, then it might be a lot easier to storm if they don’t know how everythin’ works properly.
Mara pulled up the sensor sweeps and did her best to interpret the results. After a second, she tapped her commbadge.
“Calleja to Svenson. Artemis has come across a base of operations. Not sure at this point if it’s Dominion in origin, or smugglers have build somethin’ later. I’m sendin’ down what the sensors have read. Do me a favour, get your head together with Yordan and take a look at this base in detail. If we had to land and take it, safe landing zones nearby, best lines of attack, likely defences we’d encounter. Whatever you can do from what we’ve got.”
She tapped a few controls to send the request to Ardanna’s console in the Security Complex.
== GM input please. Is it possible to tell if the entire base is Dominion era, whether it was constructed later by these smugglers, or a mix of the two? ==
