" Thanks, Chief, we'll let you know if we find something else," Ardanna replied, glad that she had made the call to notify the Bridge as soon as she realised the importance of the base having no transporter defences. Of course, this was a team effort, as Yeman had agreed with her assessment before her fellow shift leader gave the map a closer look. His scathing opinion regarding the base itself, particularly those who were running it, seemed perfectly accurate to the brunette Ensign, especially with the information before them. Ollie, who had been unusually quiet till now, gave some thought to what Yeman had surmised, pulling the pieces together, including his assessment of the freighter that had not long gone boom.
If this were an amateur operation, which was looking more and more likely, then they had picked the wrong day to encounter Artemis, their secret about to be exposed to more than just a Federation starship. Ollie also made a good point about it possibly being a science facility and how they appeared to favour going unnoticed, which made Ardanna wonder how long this had been going on until Artemis happened to be in the same vicinity. They had spooked them when they showed up on the Q'oh, not that she needed reminding of what had happened on the Bridge; however, she simply let her train of thought connect everything that her colleagues were saying, threading it all so she could give her opinion on it.
It made a lot of sense for them to check to get more information, to check if sensor nets were present, as well as digging into the history of the Dominion for the trio to compare it against the base they were investigating. After all, it wouldn't hurt, and could likely tell them who they were dealing with, or at least give some indication.
" If these aren't amateurs, then they've been complacent about their operation, thinking they could go unnoticed without any outside interference, so it sucks to be them right now with us showing up when we did," Ardanna began. " Aside from that, I think a team could go unnoticed if they're aren't any sensor nets; if they are present, I'm sure we can find a way to bypass them. I also agree that it wouldn't hurt for us to make a comparison with known Dominion science and medical facilities, because it wouldn't surprise me if it's someone wanting to recreate the good old days, make up for their failures, or some other twisted reason. Either way, it needs to be stopped".
