USS Veracruz
NCC 200808
=/\=Official Mission Log as Per ADMR Kinney Randt=/\=
Intelligence Officer Ulrich Bechir Recording
Stardate 220810.1700
Alert Status: Red
Position: Close to the border with the Kazon-Hobii
Mission Log:
While undergoing routine border patrols close to the Kazon-Hobii border, CPT Fred McCellan detected a faint, encrypted signal. Upon investigation, CMDR Ulrich Bechir discovered the signal was an out of use Starfleet signal. As some old signal systems have been appropriated by civilian entities, most notably ones of the criminal element, more investigation was put into this signal. CMDR Scott Salmson worked on triangulating the source and destination of the signal, while others worked on uncovering the nature of it and breaking the code.
In time, it was discovered that the code was being used by a criminal element and likely was being used for smuggling and theft. The destination of the code was discovered to be the old, captured runabout previously referenced. Unfortunately, with the runabout destroyed there was no simple way to deal with the issue covertly. As a result, FLT CPT Moonprince Rhode-Randt-Mistwallow set to disguising the ship power signatures to mimic a runabout, while CPT McCellan responded to the message promising the expected cargo. LTCMDR Mantis brought USS Veracruz to the location tracked by CMDR Salmson where it was discovered the source was a Kazon ship.
Scanning between the ships led to an attack, during which CMDR Jameson was successful in fending off the attack and counterattacking effectively. During the melee the Kazon ship broke for the border and USS Veracruz followed. According to CMDR Bechir, there existed a possiblity that the ship was Kazon-Ulgath, meaning that USS Veracruz crossing in pursuit would be a violation of the current non-aggression pact with the Kazon-Hobii. As a result the decision was made to stop USS Veracruz just short of the border.
VADMRI Kinney Randt formally logs a protest with the Kazon-Hobii who are obviously encouraging border raids and sheilding the possibily Kazon-Ulgath ship from prosecution.
