CAPT Ulrich Bechir Reporting Please be advised, suspect found in ship disappearances. Rebrand of group once known as Telepathic Underground, as Telepathic Empire. This group has defeated the Devore and driven them out of the area. We are investigating full scope of affect. They have promised vengeance on the Federation for refusing to help three decades ago. They knew Kermie Mistwallow had rank of Admiral and that I am Branch Commander of Intelligence. The prisoner we held, now deceased by his own hand, also inferred that they have telepathic spies throughout Starfleet and the Federation in the Delta Quadrant. The fact that they have up to date information on ranks and positions, despite equipment and medical substances being used to block telepathy seems to confirm. Suggest action should be taken. HQ could be infiltrated, as well as other ships and stations.


The following is OOC:

1.Intelligence Officers: Observe, look for any unusual behaviour and report it. Amass a list of individuals who may potentially be security risks and find ways to confirm or deny potential responsibility. This should be done quietly in a non-accusatory way.

2.Intelligence Analysts: Go through information amassed from Intelligence members or all types, as well as the various ships and stations. Try to see patterns of engagement and behaviour that might somehow lead to finding embedded Telepathic Empire operatives.

3.Infiltration Specialists: Your most useful ability will be if you have a telepathic ability and can somehow get invited to be part of the group. Serving as a double agent will provide valuable intel which you must pass along to Officers and Analysists.

4.Field Operatives: Going to places where known operatives of the Telepathic Empire exist is critical. You must find them, or have your contacts find them, and relay information about individuals involved.

5.We are role playing, so you need to consider how your character will react to the information given and what impact it will have on your relationships, realities, and life.

6. Please follow CoC and remember that ideas, etc. are great, but they still have to be cleared with your Chief and with the Command Staff before implemented. This is an ensemble piece and as a result not every idea can be used, especially as things often have to be incorporated into a larger plot-line system. Remember you must liase with your own CO/XO for your duty station. Be care as this mission is classified.

9. Finding items (gamma radiation, evidence of other species we've encountered) is at your discretion. Don't go crazy, but have fun. I trust you to tie things in with other mission threads, please make sure things fit.

10.Hit point meters and weapons are NOT required. Please behave accordingly if you feel that you could be injured, etc.

11.Please report in the proper forum area: viewforum.php?f=915

*These duties are very general ideas, feel free to add to them and fill things in.

* Please allow people to do their jobs and be thoughtful of the fact that people join departments and divisions to do their jobs. Try not to step on their functions. If you have something to help someone (advise that they may or may not follow) instead of saying something publicly, it might be more useful to IM them and discuss it with them.

* Agents should be working together. There should be enough possibilities for everyone as long as they all work together and cooperatively. Do not be afraid to do OOC planning in IM.

* This is more or less freeform, but please don't have it as "Q did this". We need to get ourselves out of our own jams (not that this has ever been a problem with this crew).

Stardate 230317

Alert Status: Red

Security Level: Alpha-Two and higher (Only XOs and up are currently notified)
Starfleet Data Access: Level Four (Limited to INTEL, Commander UFS Security, CO/XO of ships/stations, JCs and VCinC/CinC)

Position: Block: 005D
Relative Location: 102.54 LY from Pinastri


Report:

Data analysis from 230312 Complete. Several threats to Pinastri, neighbouring planets and ships have been detected.

The station found had telepathic devices like the ones used to attack Shogun two months ago, but much larger. Four were active on the automated station we breached. There are 18 (eighteen) stations like this one according to their information, one in striking distance to Pinastri. Data found suggested they were being used to attack planets and space stations. The effect could kill telepathic subjects OR render them suggestible to Telepathic Empire commands. The Science and Engineering teams have developed a counter system but it requires great amounts of power to run, we have had to shut down key systems when we employ it. The plans for the psi shield are transmitted with this report.

More troubling is the fleet that the Telepathic Empire has amassed. Not counting their unnamed ally, they have a fleet of 200 ships amassed. While 100 of those ships are scout vessels (small light vessels without great attack capability), the remaining 100, especially the 25 destroyer class vessels with a crew capacity roughly the same as Shogun, are concerning. We have yet to encounter anything but a scout vessel, however they do employ a hodgepodge of technology which leads us to believe that there could be significant improvements in certain areas compared to Starfleet tech, but the vast majority of their technology is likely inferior. The psi emitters are the things that make these ships dangerous.

Full fleet size:

100 Scout ships (crew 1 to 6)
40 Light escorts (crew 20 to 25)
35 Heavy Escorts (crew 80 to 100)
25 Destroyer Class (crew approx 500)

It is absolutely clear that the Telepathic Empire intend to attack Pinastri at some point and are starting to muster a fleet. It is also clear that they could already be affecting Pinastri and several other ships/stations with their psi-emitters. The shielding will help but could cost a major system such as phasers or shield emitters power-wise.

Our goal will be to track as many of the space stations as possible and destroy them so they can no longer be used against us.

The Telepathic Empire plans and behaviours constitute a clear act of war. Please advise to any additional instructions from Headquarters/Command.

All Intelligence Personnel should remain vigilant. Watch for unusual behaviour amongst psi capable crew WITHOUT turning things into a witch hunt. These are still our colleagues, but may be under outside influence through no fault of their own. Similarly, depending on psi rating (lower is better) they may be unaffected.


In Service to the Fleet,

CAPT Ulrich Bechir
Commander of UFS Intelligence
Commanding Officer USS Shogun

[Erikalancetti Resident]

Stardate 260304

Officers on duty: Commander Erika Lancetti
SS Tranquillity - Chief Intelligenze Officer

I acknowledge receipt of your report.

Here we do not yet have evidence of this situation, but I deem it appropriate to raise the security level by updating our protocols with the data you have sent us and placing the Intelligence department on yellow alert.
Each movement will be traced in detail and I will send a further report if the situation changes.

Intelligence Report

Stardate: 230328
Type: Organization/Hostile Species Report

Subject: Telepathic Empire
Block: 005C
Relative Location: 111.92 LY from Pinastri
Security Data Level:Alpha-Two and higher (XOs and up, unless designated by the vessel’s Commanding Officer and/or Starfleet Command)

Report by: CAPT Ulrich Bechir
Service Number: 0010

This Report Contains <Either New or Updated> Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=/\= REPORT BEGINS =/\=

During our most recent ‘visit’ to a Telepathic Empire station we uncovered the following information. This intelligence is to be given the highest priority.

DATA SET ONE:

39 hz vul

60 hz cait

38 hz rom

37 hz tel

17 hz hum

59 hz arc

29 hz kling

43 hz del

53 hz graz

39 hz ori

18 hz bet

22 hz bol
Work from our sciences and intelligence departments cause us to believe these are brainwave frequencies from various species. The frequency is given, with a short letter code coordinating to the species involved.

We are unsure as of yet what this is used for.

Data Set Two:

Sector 006D

DELTA 242, -24, 65

Sector 004D

DELTA 45, 98, -176

Sector 005C

DELTA 66, 92, 88

Sector 004E

DELTA -39, 66, 110

These are space station coordinates. They are local to us and we have started tracking them to destroy them. Once these stations are tracked and destroyed, we hope to find other station coordinates (before destroying the stations of course).

Data Set Three:

Psynari - A humanoid species with pale blue skin and pointed ears. The Psynari possess strong telepathic abilities that allow them to communicate with each other and with other species across great distances. They are known for their peaceful nature and their ability to mediate conflicts through telepathic communication.

Tamarians - The Tamarians are a humanoid species known for their unique language, which is based on metaphor and allegory. They possess a form of telepathy that allows them to share their memories and experiences with other beings, but only if they have a common frame of reference.

Viidians - The Viidians are a humanoid species known for their highly advanced medical technology. They are also telepathic and possess the ability to read the thoughts and emotions of other beings. This ability makes them highly skilled at diagnosing and treating illnesses, but also makes them feared by other species who view their telepathy as invasive.

Valtorians - A reptilian species with green scales and sharp claws. The Valtorians are a fiercely territorial species with a complex social hierarchy based on telepathic dominance. Their telepathic abilities also allow them to sense the emotions and intentions of other beings, which they use to their advantage in negotiations and strategic planning.

Vulcans - The Vulcans are a humanoid species known for their logical and unemotional demeanor. They possess strong telepathic abilities that allow them to perform a mind meld, a technique where they can establish a mental link with another being and share thoughts and memories.

Numiri - The Numiri are a reptilian species known for their aggressive and territorial behavior. They possess powerful telepathic abilities that allow them to control the minds of other beings, which they use to dominate and manipulate other species. Their telepathic powers are so strong that they are immune to most forms of telepathic attack.

Betazoids - The Betazoids are a humanoid species known for their empathic and telepathic abilities. They possess the ability to sense the emotions and thoughts of other beings, which makes them valuable counselors and negotiators.

Aurorans - A luminescent, jellyfish-like species that floats through space and communicates telepathically through bursts of light and color. The Aurorans are a highly advanced species with a deep understanding of the universe and the laws of physics.

Mari - The Mari are a telepathic species that evolved on a planet with a highly radioactive atmosphere. Their telepathy developed as a means of communication in an environment where vocal communication was difficult. The Mari are known for their strong empathic abilities and their ability to sense the emotions and intentions of other beings.

Found in a sickbay on a station, these appear to be various species working within the Telepathic Empire. It is troubling to see known Federation species mixed in. This must be taken into account going forward.

Data Set Four:

Our battle plans are set and we are currently working with our allies to bring them to fruition. The stations are set up at variable distance from Pinastri to make taking the planet easier. Our goal is to first take Pinastri then the other Kazon sects. Once that is accomplished the Romulans will not be able to stand against us. We project full subjugation of this part of space within two solar years. It will be faster if we can use the Federation and Kazon ships against the Romulans, so we will attempt as few losses of ships and telepathic members of the Federation as possible.

This required significant decoding. However, it plainly shows the plans of the Telepathic Empire to not only destroy the Federation but to subjugate the Romulans and various Kazon sects as well. This may aid diplomatically with several ships who are attempting to gain Kazon and Romulan aid.

Intelligence Report

Stardate: 230404
Type: Operational Update
Security Data Level: Level 3 Starfleet Access, Omega 2B

Report by: Lt(JG) Mac Gaelyth
Service Number 487.

Sirs et al,

I am reporting the Suspicious Death of Ensign Rogers, a security officer here at Pinastri Headquarters. This death is one i consider a cause for considerable concern for the following reasons:

1) The victim's remains was found in a location on Pinastri that can be described as difficult to observe, through technological means or personal method.

2) The manner of his death suggests the acts of a clandestine operator; a singular cut to the carotid artery leading to exsanguination. There are no defensive wounds, which suggests that he was immobilised prior to his death. Further, there is no dried blood on the hands, nor are there any smears across the neck. This suggests that there was no attempt by the victim to stem the flow of blood.

3) The above detail is further of note as there is no evidence of any energy weapon, or any other device that causes a stunning or immobiilising effect on the victim.

Lt (JG) Lutytr and I have further located a PADD bearing the symbol of the Telepathic Empire at the reception desk at Roddenberry Towers, where the victim resided, and is part of his patrol route. Lutytr and I are in the process of attempting to decrypt the device at present, and will report further information as it comes to light.

Due to this information I have advised increasing the Security Level at Headquarters; further, I suspect that there may be one or more T.E. clandestine agents operating in Pinastri.

In Service

Lt(JG) Mac Gaelyth
Intelligence Officer, Pinastri Headquarters.
