STSF_BluRox

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51605.30 - Season 24 Will has been trying to get Stan to divulge any information, while Rue pretends to also be a prisoner in the brig hoping to overhear any mumbling from the other prisoners. Jax, Heather, Ayumu and Nickles have returned from the captured raider ship, and have completed an inventory, and are heading to the conference room to meet with Blu. BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM STSF_BluRox -> :: enters the conference room:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Heading to the conference room, and truth be told, a bit tired. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heading into the conference room as well:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::sighs, sometimes sad he isn’t allowed to torture people:: August Jax Robinson -> ::Enters the Conference room:: August Jax Robinson -> ::Elbows Heather to get going:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Enters :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::takes a seat at the table:: STSF_BluRox -> !@#$$%^&&*() Stan> :: So...is your captain coming down to talk with me or not? LtCmdrRobinson -> ::shrugs:: I sent her a message, she is probably busy. Lot of things to deal with. STSF_BluRox -> :: sits as well and picks up her cup of cocoa:: STSF_BluRox -> So, I trust you all made a thorough search and inventory of what you found. Anything of interest? STSF_BluRox -> !@#$$%^&&*() Stan> Look....officer...or whatever you are addresses as......I at least demand better accommodations. I should not have to share accommodations with...those ruffians down there Heather Jamieson -> A list of where the ship has been, which should really help across the sector. Ayumu Kasuga -> Yes, sir. I've compiled a list of potential sellers and destinations of the stolen goods. Granted though, most if not all of the games will most likely be aliases STSF_BluRox -> Good, and how complete or correct do these transit logs appear. Are these recorded by their navigator, or automatically by the computer? Heather Jamieson -> :: Turns to Kasuga :: Heather Jamieson -> I think they are automatic. LtCmdrRobinson -> I agree sir, I would be happy to. I took the liberty of having a jr officer room made up for you. You will still be guarded, but it is a private room. LtCmdrRobinson -> We sometimes use it to secure our higher profile detainees August Jax Robinson -> We found a lot of stolen inventory Ayumu Kasuga -> These are recorded in their computer databases and manual logs from the navigator. STSF_BluRox -> Have we been able to determine exactly what may be stolen, and what may be legitimate trade goods? The gentlemen downstairs, seems to believe that he is 'goods commodity broker' that he legally bought these items.....and if they were stolen, had been stolen by someone else August Jax Robinson -> The crates that are Federation, still have the inventory barcodes on them. We can track them back to where and who they were with last Heather Jamieson -> Were the contents the same as we left them Jax? STSF_BluRox -> What could be legit? It’s conceivable that many worlds have access to replicators and such...but we need to determine what is legal, what may be Star Fleet property, and anything that may have been indicated as August Jax Robinson -> Yes, I believe so STSF_BluRox -> taken by the nefarious ones that captured people from the colonies for J'Rom's experiments STSF_BluRox -> Because if these people are tied into that....they may never see the light of day again as far as I'm concerned August Jax Robinson -> we can beat it out of him STSF_BluRox -> :: nods at Jax:: If they have Fleet codes, I don't see him being able to get out of that charge STSF_BluRox -> I'm sure Will could do that, but we have to follow the letter of the law...though, in light of what happened to Kwai....I wouldn’t mind if someone took a bad step in a turbolift shaft...... STSF_BluRox -> but.....we can't do that... August Jax Robinson -> I also found boxes of weapons, some I don't know what race makes them LtCmdrRobinson -> ::helps Stan out of his chair:: We'll go out the other door here. Dont want to walk you back through the brig and have your associates get the wrong idea or anything. STSF_BluRox -> +Will+ Would you please escort your prisoner to the conference room? We have a few questions we'd like to ask of him LtCmdrRobinson -> +Blu+ That'll work too. ::leads him out the door:: Looks like you get your meeting, sir STSF_BluRox -> August, make sure that Will gets a good look at them. August Jax Robinson -> Do you really thing I could keep him away from them? STSF_BluRox -> Now Heather, the computer logs of destinations.......can you bring up a quadrant map and show those points on it please? Heather Jamieson -> Sure, we uploaded it as soon as we arrived :: Heather goes to the conference room display and brings up the data they collected earlier :: STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu.....where were they headed next? Did the records say? Heather Jamieson -> :: First a map with nothing on it, then the stars, then the web of pathways the ship took in the sector :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::checks her PADD:: They were intended to head for a small remote outpost near the Neutral Zone. Heather Jamieson -> The recorded flight paths are in red, the projected paths in in violet. LtCmdrRobinson -> ::escorts Stan into the lift:: Bridge. August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks over her PADD:: STSF_BluRox -> Hmmmm, weapons and stolen goods........the question is, are these just the left over bounties that they collected with regards to J'Rom's plans? Did they actually help capture the people, or just take their stuff afterwards? STSF_BluRox -> And if they were involved with both.....just who are they planning to sell these items and information too? August Jax Robinson -> ir could have been a last ditch effort STSF_BluRox -> Did you find any references to J'Rom's work included? I want your opinions if these people were just transport and thieves, or if they are marketing J'Rom's final products STSF_BluRox -> :: looks up at what Heather was showing:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::rings the chime outside the C room:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Rolls back the time frame of the flight paths :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at Heather's thing:: August Jax Robinson -> I was not working on the files and the data it holds STSF_BluRox -> Close that screen would you Heather..for the moment.. Heather Jamieson -> Sure. :: closes the display :: STSF_BluRox -> +Will+ Pleae go ahead and bring your guest in Heather Jamieson -> :: Sits back down :: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::enters:: August Jax Robinson -> :::Enjoys watching Will do his job:: STSF_BluRox -> Stan> :: straightens coat:: Well, finally. Are you the captain? :: walks over to Jax:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::grabs a hold of him, pulls out a chair for him:: Sit. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at Stan, then at Jax:: STSF_BluRox -> :: Supresses a grin, thinking.....Will's boss at least:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at Jax, then Stan :: STSF_BluRox -> Stan> Hey! :: glowers and turns to Jax, then to Blu, realizing her uniform was different:: Oh... August Jax Robinson -> Yes? STSF_BluRox -> Stan> :: turns back to Jax:: You the one in charge here? I'd like to file a complaint. STSF_BluRox -> Stan> I've been falsely detained, my cargo delayed and accusations have been made against me, as well as threats by the walking gym ad over here.....::turns and points to Will: STSF_BluRox -> Blu> :: listening:: August Jax Robinson -> we didn't find any sale slips on Inventory PADD's August Jax Robinson -> *or August Jax Robinson -> I looks like your cargo might be stolen property STSF_BluRox -> Stan> It's my cargo, those bills of sale would have been made when we bought it original, before we stored it at our warehouse. I would not be selling to myself, now would I? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::"walking gym ad".. ponders. First time she's heard anyone refer to Will in that manner::: STSF_BluRox -> (closest thing Federation has to Rihannsu's Koga I guess) August Jax Robinson -> Unless we can figure out where all of it was obtained from... it will be mine August Jax Robinson -> I already helped myself to some Candy STSF_BluRox -> Stan> You can't just confiscate my goods. August Jax Robinson -> yes I can LtCmdrRobinson -> What goods? You don’t keep bills of lading LtCmdrRobinson -> you have no documentation that anything is yours, remember? STSF_BluRox -> (you stole evidence? Will, you may have to lock her up for evidence tampering) LtCmdrRobinson -> ::quiets down, lets Blu do her work:: Heather Jamieson -> (Oh please do... ) LtCmdrRobinson -> ((I will lock her up, but you know babies are going to come out of it)) Ayumu Kasuga -> (oops) STSF_BluRox -> ((why? .. ::facepalm::) August Jax Robinson -> {{lock me up!! Lock me up!!}} STSF_BluRox -> ::tiring of this game fast, decides to put an end to it quickly:: Ayumu Kasuga -> (closed window by mistake) STSF_BluRox -> ((this is 'NOT' that type of sim!!!)) STSF_BluRox -> (be glad you did!) Ayumu Kasuga -> (rofl) STSF_BluRox -> ::tiring of this game fast, decides to put an end to it quickly:: STSF_BluRox -> :: stands and walks over by Stan:: Why don't we start with your name? STSF_BluRox -> Stan> Everyone in this sector knows me....I help everyone get what they need..I am Stanley Millhouse Frazier Ayumu Kasuga -> (Everything's coming up Milhouse!) STSF_BluRox -> ::nods to others to check the name:: August Jax Robinson -> that is a fake name STSF_BluRox -> Well....Mr Frazier.......Let me put things in perspective for you....... STSF_BluRox -> Heather, would you please bring up the map of the destination you have plotted for us Heather Jamieson -> :: Thinks upon that name for a moment :: STSF_BluRox -> and explain just how coincidental, that each of those destinations, were either to or from one of our raided bases or colonies STSF_BluRox -> Bases and colonies, were massive numbers of colonists and Starfleet personnel were killed, captured, experimented upon, transformed, ....need I go on with my list? Heather Jamieson -> :: Gets up and turns the display back on :: STSF_BluRox -> and I'd like my Security Chief, to take a look at that box of weapons over there :: not happy that they brought explosives into her conference room:: STSF_BluRox -> And tell us where some of those weapons came from, are all able to be identified.... STSF_BluRox -> And lastly.....Mr Stanley Millhouse Fraizier....... :: walks around and leans over him, talking low and slow.... Heather Jamieson -> :: Sits back down, able to control the display with her PADD :: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::perks up, check outs the weapons:: STSF_BluRox -> And if I find out, that you had any connection at all...even one....to J'Rom's experiments, and what was done to my XO.....I will let Mr Robinson test said weapons on you.....inch by inch, August Jax Robinson -> ::Helps Will open the box, points at the hand grenades:: STSF_BluRox -> and I.....well, let's just say I will make your life....what little may be left of it...very STSF_BluRox -> very.....short STSF_BluRox -> You see.......They took one of our own from us, and hurt her....and if I find out you have any involvement....well, accidents do happen in space..... STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu....please put up a list of all Star Fleet missing/stolen items on the 2nd screen there Ayumu Kasuga -> All right. ::taps her PADD and brings up the list of stolen and/or missing items:: STSF_BluRox -> :: Looks over at Will inspecting the weapons, then back to Stan:: STSF_BluRox -> So....anything you'd like to offer to tell us now...there will no second chance STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> Great job guys! Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused:: August Jax Robinson -> ::paused:: Ayumu Kasuga -> Yay STSF_BluRox -> Remember....this guy may have been involved in luring us in so they could capture Kwai...if we'd involved.....we need to find out....so will have you all offer your opinions and expertise over what we've found.....Will may have to lock him up again, to keep him safe from us August Jax Robinson -> poop STSF_BluRox -> keep LtCmdrRobinson -> :) STSF_BluRox -> ie: Will scare the crap out of him STSF_BluRox -> ok...next week....you all will be presenting what you've found and your conclusions....

Rue Wydown -> Noooooooo ::singsongy:: I've been too busy trying to earn the scratch to get off that lousy planet than worry about you lot. Besides, Stan didn't ask me to do anything illegal.

Hmmmm? STSF_BluRox -> #Stan> My dear sir....I do 'not' believe that "General Douchebaggery" is any type of official charge....unless that is your name and rank...or that of your Captain? Ayumu Kasuga -> Like a musty smell of things being stored in there longer that it should've been? Heather Jamieson -> Yeah, it did. STSF_BluRox -Stan> # I sir, am a businessman. I buy and I sell commodities. We are way out here on the belt, we may not always ask for a full bill of lading.....people out here, it's tough, people give up and go home. And since when, is owning property that is used throughout the quadrant, I believe you said..."federation technology" that is used by those that live in the Federation...illegal to possess? Heather Jamieson -> I think the ship was a bit older than it looks.

Let's go Ayumu Kasuga -> Alright. ::grabs the hovercart of explosive devices from an ensign and follows the others:: Christina_Nickles -> Yes sir. :: walks with the others towards the conference room:: LtCmdrRobinson -> That was a very good answer. You may or may not have been transporting these goods that may or may not have been stolen. So you sometimes transport goods without knowing what they are? That seems dangerous.

STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> I'm not buying your game at all......... LtCmdrRobinson -> But you have nothing to do with any of that, as you say. i am sure your shipping manifests and sensor logs will confirm what you say. August Jax Robinson -> ::exits the lits and heads towards the conference room:: STSF_BluRox -> #Stan> So, Starfleet has nothing better to do, than harass anyone that isn't directly under their control?

Without me, this spaceport would not be here. And your fleet ships, would not have this remote stop as well STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Wondering if they are coming today or tomorrow? LtCmdrRobinson -> Well I wouldn’t say Normal now...you don’t even look at bills of lading, after all. Rue Wydown -> Defensive, huh. Trying to deflect your circumstances off on another person. Can't take ownership of your own problems. ::sighs:: At least I owned my mistake and tried to fix it. Even if I ended up with you lot. Actually ::sits up:: This was all your idea wasn't it. You dragged poor Stan into this, didn't you. Poor bloke, to be victimized by you slimmy git. August Jax Robinson -> +Will+ I have some items from the ship you may be happy to see... then store under our bed STSF_BluRox -> # Stan> So, is your Captain coming down here now? I have some words to say to him. STSF_BluRox -> # Stan> Because obviously, you are having too much difficulty understanding the nature of a goods commodity broker and the local space economic impact upon a sector LtCmdrRobinson -> I sent her a message, she is probably tied up. Busy woman. STSF_BluRox -> #Stan> She? interesting... LtCmdrRobinson -> Eh, not so much from what others have told me already. Some people have varying opinions of you. STSF_BluRox -> Blu+ Jax+ I do hope you and your team will be meeting me sometime in the near future, not next week? PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> oH OH.... looks like it actually 'will be' next week. STSF_BluRox -> tsk tsk....

August Jax Robinson -> i will be here, mad, tired, and hating the public STSF_BluRox -> lol LtCmdrRobinson -> so that is every week for Jax Heather Jamieson -> I'll be here STSF_BluRox -> Ok.... we can continue with the conference room briefing and Will's interrogation, Rue and Malcom can sit and stew at each other. and at least work on moving that along so we can move along STSF_BluRox -> So, everyone have a nice holiday weekend (will see most of you on Thursday) and most of you on Monday. Take care guys.. and Crew Dismissed August Jax Robinson -> do we want to guess how many Tons the Garbage truck will unload Christina_Nickles -> I should be back Rue Wydown -> Okay guys. Gnight. Have a good holiday. STSF_BluRox -> Night all

USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 61505.09 - SEASON 24 The Away team had flushed out Stan and Malcom resulting in a bit of a showdown at Stan's warehouse hideaway. After subduing the objectives on the ground, and the Republic capturing the fleeing ship that presumably held Stan and the rest of his little group of thieves......

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51604.11 - Season 24 While Federation equipment may be purchased legally around the many star systems along the borders of Federaton space. Those items which are specifically coded at Star Fleet property, are generally not for sale....and with the amount that has been stolen during the terrible crimes brought on by J'Rom and his paid thugs, it is no surprise, that Will and Jax have been able to pick up readings of several Federation coded power spikes on the tricorders. Small other details have been noted around town as well, so it is highly likely, that this town has some connection with the raiders we had been following, if only as buyers, they have to know something. Tina and Ruth have managed to get jobs working for Stan in his supply warehouse, Jax and Will keep finding more suspicious stuff and Heather and Ayumu...have been flirting with the warehouse guards before getting frustrated and heading back toward the inn......

Most of these business are too small time to be raider fronts I would think. ACTION: The items Rue has been moving are mostly rather mundane items, nothing to toss anyone away for years for. A few items are obvious knockoffs, others poor quality mixed in with the regular items, but so far nothing worthy of calling in the fleet for wholescale arrests. Then again it is doubtful that Stan would have put them on something so .... Questionable, before he got to know them.... August Jax Robinson -> it could be that they appear that way to throw people off LtCmdrRobinson -> Might be, lets walk around a bit more and look Christina_Nickles -> :: working with Rue:: Ayumu Kasuga -> I hope the others have had better luck than us. ::walks back to town and towards the inn:: August Jax Robinson -> ok Heather Jamieson -> I'm not as much a flirt as I need to be... :: sighs :: ACTION:: A large imposing man has entered the inn, and has sitting in the corner slouched into a thich leather armchair, glowering toward the door...... Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh well. We don't have it. Heather Jamieson -> :: Checks her scanner :: Got a lot of data though. Ayumu Kasuga -> That's good. Let's analyse it in our room. Heather Jamieson -> :: Opens the door, enters :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::enters the inn and heads up to their room:: Rue Wydown -> You doing okay? ::glances at her partner in crime:: Heather Jamieson -> I'm not sure this planet gets a good review.. Christina_Nickles -> So far I am. August Jax Robinson -> ::Takes Will's arm:: ACTION:: Man watches the two women go up the stairs, anad grinds his teeth in anger.... Heather Jamieson -> :: Starts a cursory review of the data :: Rue Wydown -> So what's this experience teaching you? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::locks the door:: All right.. Heather Jamieson -> :: Looking :: Hmm August Jax Robinson -> ::turns Tricorder on, keeping it tucked under her sleeve:: Heather Jamieson -> A bit of interference the more the scans try to get into that building.. not surprising. LtCmdrRobinson -> Wish we had access to Holly at the moment, would be nice to have every replicator in town spit toast out randomly. ACTION> Rue feels her combadge give a warning vibration, but does not sound for security reasons. Just letting Rue know that is an important message awaiting her Christina_Nickles -> To be cautious for one. August Jax Robinson -> That sounds like a mess ACTION 3> Jax keeps picking up SF registrations keep going off between the eating establishment and the large guarded warehouse. Rue Wydown -> Speaking of cautious, be a look out for me. Just keep working and cover for me. Feels like I got a message coming through. ::slips over to one of the bays nearby, pretending to review the packing list while hitting her commbadge discretely:: LtCmdrRobinson -> Wouldn’t a backwater town like this have to rework their power circuits to get our tech to work? No way would the original infrastructure do it. We should be able to track our stuff through the power grid somehow. Heather Jamieson -> Very nice exterior renders.. Would look nice on a holodeck. Ayumu Kasuga -> It would. Wish we had access to one. Christina_Nickles -> :: nods and steps away a bit, continuing her work watching for anyone heading in their direction. August Jax Robinson -> ::Stops walking:: Heather Jamieson -> I'd conjure up a beach. ACTION> 2 :: Suddenly the door to Ayumu and Heather's room is kicked open, and the large man and his associate rush in grabbing hold of the two women..... August Jax Robinson -> That is a good point, I am picking up Feddie pings every where Ayumu Kasuga -> Risa? Or maybe Waikiki? Ayumu Kasuga -> ! Heather Jamieson -> Ri- AHH! Let us go! Ayumu Kasuga -> Whoa.. ::kicks the man in the groin:: August Jax Robinson -> :o ACTION> :: The large man's hood falls back revealing his face when he gets kneed... and turns and slaps Ayumu across the face, knocking her to the ground. Heather Jamieson -> :: Arms pinned to her side :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::falls to the ground... worth it:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Struggles to get out from the hold on her :: STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> I thought that was the same ones that those morons brought here to trap us. Make sure someone shoots that idiot Bernie.... LtCmdrRobinson -> What sort of pings? More equipment, or comms? Ayumu Kasuga -> Oh, it's you guys. ::still sees stars:: August Jax Robinson -> equipment, the restaurant and that building over there ::Points at the warehouse:: STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> No no....my little Federation spies........ You two, have a lot to pay for. Not only did I lose several of my ships and property...but then you tried to trick those idiots into giving us up. Well...you damned Captain captured my other ship, I barely got away, but that ship was full of my goods....you two cost me a fortune...and I intend to get it back. I'll sell you to the Romulans for information, or perhaps somewhere that needs a pair of mine laborers.... Ayumu Kasuga -> Boo-hoo hoo! ACTION 2> Two more guys come in with a pair of wheeled crates LtCmdrRobinson -> Thats the warehouse we first spotted. The one hiding stuff behind the doors. STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> Put them in the boxes...and get them over to the warehouse....I have to go let the boss know what's up. He's going to be pissed.... LtCmdrRobinson -> The one you made a scene in front of. Like everywhere else you go. August Jax Robinson -> maybe they are transporting from one location to the other? Rue Wydown -> Guess I'm wrong. One of those phantom vibrations. How many more boxes do we have left? ACTION> Rue's com vibrates again..but weakly....the signal is obviously too weak to fully connect Heather Jamieson -> :: not saying anything :: Christina_Nickles -> :: watching the area around so far all being clear:: LtCmdrRobinson -> Well they have more guards then we have people. Any distraction we could mount to get a look inside wouldn’t last long enough. LtCmdrRobinson -> Hey are the security cameras federation? Rue Wydown -> ((Well, not much I can do with a signal that won't connect. :/ More crate muscle building moves then)) Action 3> :: One of the guys with Malcom goes to shove the girls in the crate:: Hey...these are the two I was telling you was hanging around outside the warehouse boss..... August Jax Robinson -> So we ignore it? LtCmdrRobinson -> Well if the security system is ours, couldn’t we take a peak from here? STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> Which probably means more of their people are around, or their ship is on the way back. On second thought....take them to the ship and lock them in the hold. We'll deal with them once we get off planet. I have a feeling things are about to get too hot here for our ongoing business partnership.... Rue Wydown -> Nothing completely off kilter so far, but let's see what else we can find. LtCmdrRobinson -> Right now I have 3 plans. Plan 1 is to hack the security system to watch the feed. STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> :: leans over to Ayumu:: You'll pay for that sweetie........I'll make sure of it. Get them to the ship. Ayumu Kasuga -> Big man.. Threatening a woman. STSF_BluRox -> Malcom> :: storms out and goes looing for the boss:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at Kasuga :: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::shrugs:: LtCmdrRobinson -> Plan 2 involves blowing up the entire power network in town. Plan 3 involves Nickles crashing a shuttle into the warehouse. Let’s start with 1 and work our way down. ACTION 1>:: Stan comes back with a brown bag that smells pretty good:: Hey...girls....you around? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looks at Stan?:: Rue Wydown -> Of course we're around. Just wrapped orders 1 and 2. Was just about to get started on 3. August Jax Robinson -> ::Follows Will:: Rue Wydown -> :hoping that Christina remembers her role in chatting Stan up:: STSF_BluRox -> (no Ayumu...Stan is with Rue, no you!) Ayumu Kasuga -> (Oops, sorry) Heather Jamieson -> (you can look at me) August Jax Robinson -> couldn't we find a way onto the roof and look in? Christina_Nickles -> Yes sir :: move towards Stan:: STSF_BluRox -> (you got conked on the head, we'll say you can't tell) Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol that works) LtCmdrRobinson -> You never like any of my plans. LtCmdrRobinson -> They are all very sensible. Christina_Nickles -> Need something else done Sir? ::to Stan:: STSF_BluRox -> Stan> :: hands the bag to Tina:: There is some lunch for you and the other one. There is a small table and chairs in the back room, you two can take a break there. :: looks around:: You girls do quick work. Perhaps we'll let you go a bit early today as a reward....go eat, I have some work to do myself Christina_Nickles -> :: takes te bag:: Thank you sir. Heather Jamieson -> (we in the crates?) Ayumu Kasuga -> (I think so) ACTION 2> Heather and Ayumu are shoved in the crate and it's buckled shut with a packing strap, and they are wheeled out towards the spaceport section of town (you two can talk to each other in the crate, it's just mostly dark, a couple of air holes have been placed Christina_Nickles -> :: takes the bag of food over to Rue:: Humm Wonder what work he has, Shall we follow him to find out? or play it cool?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::packed into the crate:: oh boyy. August Jax Robinson -> it's all crated up Christina_Nickles -> I apologize, I have never been good at talking to strangers ACTION 1> Rue's communicator buzzes again, and seems to connect Heather Jamieson -> Good thing I like you. Can you imagine being in here with AJ? STSF_BluRox -> (you just wish you were in there with Will) LtCmdrRobinson -> Well, lets follow and see where it goes. Ayumu Kasuga -> That would suck. Ow.. Heather Jamieson -> (w) Hey, do you still have your comm on? LtCmdrRobinson -> (if I was locked in a crate with August you'd have to deal with the offspring in 9 months.) Christina_Nickles -> :: looks out the warehouse window as she’s munching on some chips:: Ayumu Kasuga -> (w) I can't reach it.. It might be in my right pocket. Rue Wydown -> I suggest you start practicing...and soon. Especially if you want to be a security officer. They don't just shoot things. ACTION 1> Rue's communicator makes a quiet priority chirp Rue Wydown -> Keep an eye out. I'm going to try the comm again. ::scowling:: And if Stan comes back, you better start distracting him if I'm on this call. LtCmdrRobinson -> (Rue.

Rue and Christina have sent back to Stan for work, Heather and Ayumu are chatting up a pair of guards outside of the heavily guarded warehouse, and Jax and Will have followed what appears to have bene some sort of reading, to an area near a restaurant. They have decided to stop for a quick meal first. BEGIN SIM BEGIN AIM BEGIN SIM LtCmdrRobinson -> ((What am I aiming at?!?!)) STSF_BluRox -> (And no....wer're not going to chat on AIM!)

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51603.28 Kasuga and Jamieson are now going to try to investigate what Will and Jax found, as they are the 'fresh' faces that might not draw attention. Will and Jax are going to explore the fourth quadrant (West) and Rue and Christina are going to go back to try to get hired on so they can explore from the inside. BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM Heather Jamieson -> :: Standing with Ayumu :: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::starts to head west with the Wife®:: Rue Wydown -> ::is headed back to see Stan the Man about that job after meeting with the rest of the away team:: Ayumu Kasuga -> :walking around the area with Heather:: LtCmdrRobinson -> I think I liked it better when we were going to lay low. Rue Wydown -> ((Republic laying low? )) August Jax Robinson -> We are still laying low.. ACTION: As Will and Jax get to this newer section of town, it is decidedly that, newer. Heather Jamieson -> What can we find out exactly? Am I going to have to lay on my charm? :: bats her eyes :: Rue Wydown -> ::would be having a conversation with Christina about how to lay low and be subtle about finding out information except that her cardboard cutout is rather shy: LtCmdrRobinson -> No, we are not. This is going to end with people shooting at us. I mean, that's fun... STSF_BluRox -> They notice new construction, mostly business offices for some shipping companies, several eating establishments, and a row of bars and a few 'sketchy' looking buildings. In stark contrast are the prefab housing units on the outskirts of town August Jax Robinson -> we can just be a young awesome pair taking a walk LtCmdrRobinson -> Looks like business has been good around here. Ayumu Kasuga -> Hope this time it ends better if you do. What are we looking for exactly? Just, anything old thing out of the ordinary? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looking around the buildings as if they're taking a casual stroll:: Heather Jamieson -> We should act like we are on a vacation.. likes we are having fun here. Ayumu Kasuga -> Cuz there's so many fun things to do here on this industrial estate. ::smirks:: August Jax Robinson -> Wow August Jax Robinson -> who paid for this Ayumu Kasuga -> :looks at the building:: ACTION: The information passed from Will and Jax to Ayumu and Heather was about a large brick building, with several guards posted near the doors, security holovid cameras and several large guard dogs being walked around the perimeter. Will's readings had picked up possible Federation Tech earlier. Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at her PADD:: We'd better be careful where we go. This place seems quite secure for an unassuming warehouse in the industrial center. STSF_BluRox -> (Do not let Ayumu book your vacations, instead of Risa, you will get the warehouse district of some suburb outside of NYC) Christina_Nickles -> ((good to know Thanks)) Ayumu Kasuga -> (Flushing Meadows.... ahhh...) LtCmdrRobinson -> Well, perhaps we should grab something to eat or drink, see what kind of clientele they have around. Scan for weapons on the patrons. Rue Wydown -> Okay Christina. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to go back to Stan to see if he's had any luck with finding any positions for us. Christina_Nickles -> Aye Sir Heather Jamieson -> There’s the place up ahead.. this place is hard to approach without looking out of place. :: approaches cautiously :: Ayumu Kasuga -> Any ideas on what to do about all the security and guard dogs? Rue Wydown -> Don’t act desperate, just act as if you're indifferent to the whole thing. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves. Really, getting the jobs is not the objective. The objective is just to get in close enough to see who runs the show down there, if they've had any unusual shipments and well, just to get closer to the operation to see if it's tied to our friends. Rue Wydown -> And honestly, we're not lying by telling them our Cap'n dropped us here...'cause she certainly did. By the way, is that something normal for her? August Jax Robinson -> OK, cake? Heather Jamieson ->:: Stops before getting too close :: Christina_Nickles -> Aye Sir... Ill follow your lead. Rue Wydown -> Oh and I told Stan your name was Tina and I'm Ruth. Christina_Nickles ->: smiles:: That was what my Granny Called me. LtCmdrRobinson -> Cake? Sure, why not. Doesn’t seem like a cake sort of town though, but we will see.

August Jax Robinson -> {{aye}} Christina_Nickles -> ((aye to the job part)) LtCmdrRobinson -> This place here looks like they would have desserts. Of some sort. ::heads in:: Heather Jamieson -> We could act lost, but they'd just shoo us away Christina_Nickles -> As far as being normal for the Capt. to drop us off, not really. Heather Jamieson -> Watch and wait to see if they get a shipment in, then pretend to deliver new items? Ayumu Kasuga -> We could pretend to be looking for work, but I doubt they're hiring.... sounds risky. What if they try to check our IDs? ACTION: Will and Jax enter a simple tavern, not too dark, but also not that brightly lit. There is a daily special noted on the board, and a few servers look their way to see if they are going to sit and stay Rue Wydown -> Not really? Heather Jamieson -> Yeah, we are not set up for fake identification Christina_Nickles -> I mean shes dropped us once before but we were being chased. LtCmdrRobinson -> ::motions to a table:: Dear. Rue Wydown -> Why? Ayumu Kasuga -> Wouldn’t be a problem if we were on the ship. But then, we are supposed to just gather intel. Hmm. ::ponders:: Heather Jamieson -> Let’s get a better look at things at least.

Embellish a little!) August Jax Robinson -> looks lovely here STSF_BluRox -> Action: Server comes over to Will and Jax and places a pair of menus on the table.. Christina_Nickles -> Every time I go on a mission with Heather and Ayumu.... I end up in trouble. It’s a bit scary STSF_BluRox -> Server> Can I get either of you a drink to start with? Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks around the area, for other buildings or establishments nearby:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::pretending like she's lost, which wasn't far off from the truth anyway:: LtCmdrRobinson -> Just water for me, probably Wine for my wife? Heather Jamieson -> (w) hey, do you still have your tricorder? Ayumu Kasuga -> (w) I do, yes. ACTION 2> As Heather and Ayumu pass close to the building that had been identified, a pair of guards turn toward them, one stepping toward them Ayumu Kasuga -> Hold up..

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51603.14 The crew, after rounding everyone up after the incident at the Galaxy Lounge had been headed back toward the Republic when it had to take off in chase of the 2 raider ships that were trying to escape from the planet, so the shuttle was ordered to remain on Eridos 2, and investigate while waiting for Republic to return. Hopefully they'll find some word of the stolen and missing items from the Federation Stations, and various colonies that J'Rom's beasts had raided to pay for his folly. It was obvious that the raiders had been using the trade ports of this system to move their goods and hide their funds....but where? BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM LtCmdrRobinson -> ::wandering outside the higher security warehouses with Jax, not getting too close and not raising any suspicion:: ((Information gathered so far: Lots of cargo loading bays and cranes dot the outer perimeter of the east end of town.

While heading back to go pick her up, 2 of the raider's cruisers lifted off from the planet, and headed towards the other planet in the system.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::exits the shuttle with Jax:: See you kids in 1 hour. STSF_BluRox -> To the south, extend a number of small and medium sized warehoused, and to the North a few larger ones.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Well, let's just walk around and stuff. Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() :: nods and head off with Rue:: Aye Sir Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() See what we can find.

You think that would've worked if you said that? August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() yes you have, remember when we were on that planet and Someone flew a shuttle into the Birds that were special? we were having a nice walk when it happened LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Good times.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Eh? Do I want to know what that was? Rue Wydown -> I don't mean physical attack...I mean how do you think we should handle gathering intel? ::raises a brow:: STSF_BluRox -> As Rue walks towards the east and the cargo ports and transport loaders, the work crews go about their business of moving cargo that's recently been offloaded, and loading onto conveyances that will take it to the various storage locations. Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() Ah think about it a bit while we look around. :: looks in a window :: Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() I’m best at it by keeping my mouth shut and my ears open. Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Eh... ::confused look:: LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::slowly wandering North:: If anyone asks, we are just waiting on our crew to load some cargo. Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looks at the window albeit a bit farther away:: Anyone in there? Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() :nods towards the workers:: Maybe we could get close enough to those folks and listen to them to see hat we can find out?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() when do I get to carry hand grenades? Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() No, not a lot of people along here Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() It did a bit ago. I wasn’t the one in the shoot outs in a bar. STSF_BluRox -> Being the smaller of the two ports, much of the equipment is older and worn, though occasionally some newer updated stations are passed. Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Not surprising, this is more of an industrial area.. still, might not be good snooping into peoples' windows like that. But, I feel the same way towards Bernie. That guy was a creeper. Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() I would have broken his nose for ya. Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() I overheard the Space port workers talking about this port and the one on the other planet Rue Wydown -> So what is it you see now?

Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() I wonder if they would know anything about the Raiders Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Told anyone of what? ::looks around the place, slowly walking along with the orbiting star above them:: LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Oh I know you can handle it, I just worry about you killing me at some point. Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() The kiss... I'd never hear the end of it from everybody... :: They continued their search of warehouses, some they could not see in :: Rue Wydown -> Well, you can't just stand here and wonder if they know anything right? How do you find out? STSF_BluRox -> To the north, Will and Jax pass several of the larger warehouses, LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Besides, usually I destroy things and you fix them. That’s what makes us so great together. Now if we both start destroying things.... Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Hmm. Perhaps. ::looking around the warehouses as well, but still stays on the walkway they were on:: STSF_BluRox -> A few of these buildings have what appear to be security watching over it's entrances, or have a holovid system watching them.... Christina_Nickles -> !@#$%&*() We could go closer and listen in on them .. but we are to meet the others in less than an hour, or I’d say join them in their work and listen to them. August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() think we should take a look in there? STSF_BluRox -> TWO MINUTE WARNING LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I think that will get us in trouble. Which we are trying to avoid. Observe and report back is the name of the game. Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Lot of security around here. We'd better be careful not to arouse anymore suspicion; we're just two crew mates taking a stroll while our ship is being loaded. Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*() Right. I hope we can get it back. Rue Wydown -> There's a time to listen, and there's a time to talk and ask questions. C'mon.

Koga S'Bien -> ::after everyone is aboard, he closes the hatch and takes off towards the Khre'Riov's position:: KhreRiovtRex -> @ Meanka, that's a start at least. I know I saw one of the big ships go down, and think I saw several of our others trying to swarm the other. At least until that 2nd wave showed up tAehjae -> Ie..

Unless their ship was one of the few that had a hteij in it. The ships we had, were na the best unfortunately.... ACTION: Evidently at least io of the ships had, as t'Ksa was beamed back aboard t'Temarr's ship, as the other headed back with the wounded, as they were na able to participate in this next fight tAehjae -> @ Ie... Shall we continue? KhreRiovtRex -> @ Did au plan to stop and set out a picnic? tAehjae -> @:: smiles and chuckles:: Na KhreRiovtRex -> @ As I said, I'm unsure if they have a hteij, we need to get at least up there..:: points to the nxt rise, the hillside before them a bit steeper still....

Lerak trPexil -> A lot of activity, but it is hard to discern/ Koga S'Bien -> Nothing that I can see, but with all these hills and mountainous terrain it's hard to tell for certain. KhreRiovtRex -> @ Action: As the hillside becomes steeper, the footing becomes more loose dirt and stone, making it more difficult to ascend quickly, however a better grass covered rise is seen not much furthet above. KhreRiovtRex -> @+tTemarr+ I know it's useless to try to talk au out of it. Is it safe enough to drop a smoke marker to indicate our location for pick up? Lerak trPexil -> There is disruptor activity ahead.. KhreRiovtRex -> (I only shot 1 rock!).... Oh..you mean up in the air... lol tAehjae -> @:: looses her footing but regains it in the loose rock and dirt:: In the air would be best rekkhai Laehval tTemarr -> +t'Rex+ Ie, I believe. We are showing sporadic activity in the area, but we are close to your location.

KhreRiovtRex -> @ ::jinx:: PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM Lerak trPexil -> :: paused :: Koga S'Bien -> ::Paused:: tAehjae -> ::paused:: KhreRiovtRex -> Alright ....well, on the plus side, the dice were good to you all night, no enemy fighters even made it back to attack you.....this week at least... KhreRiovtRex -> now I just hope that is you landing to get us!. Then, if so, we'll join up with the other ships and make our incursion into the capital and try to take back our homeworld KhreRiovtRex -> Any questions, comments, additons? Laehval tTemarr -> Everyone have a good weekend! KhreRiovtRex -> Since I know a few of you aren't feeling well, thank you for maiking it tonight. Go get warm and hope you feel better.

(see, what did I tell you? Works every time)!!!!!! Christina tried to get some information from a local spaceport worker, and only found out that one of the ships was right down the row, another across town and the third on the other small planet nearby, however, forgot to pass that information over to Will.

USS Republic Mission Briefing 516601.25 - Season 24 The crew has devised a plan to follow the "rescued hostages" who we still believe to be lying through their teeth..... They were obviously with the raiders, and were 'left behind' for whichever reason...to buy time, delay for the others to escape, or were just considered dispensable. However, after security and the XO's interviews with them, and a few slips that the one named "Bernie" has made, we've decided to 'release them on the nearby planet of Eridos 3, and let them go about their way. However....as much as most of the crew believes they deserve to be on the outer side of an airlock door, they are our best chance at finding the others that had escaped....along with the stolen items they'd taken from numerous worlds and stations. A pair of away teams have been set up... Will and Christina to deliver them to the planet, and Jax, Ayumu and Heather to trail along as locals, following in another ship. In the case that they should slip away from the away team, Holly managed to place a tracking viridian patch on each of their outfits.

USS Republic Mission Briefing 516601.18 - Season 24 In an attempt to fool their 'reluctantly incarcerated guests' the new plan is to let them think that they've fooled the Federation crew that 'rescued' them....even though we know everything is an outright lie. Records retrieved from raids on Federation stations and colonies showed at least 2 of those held below, taking part in the capture and atrocities against those that would soon be mutated by the madman J'Rom. In an attempt to have them lead us to the others that had escaped our reach earlier, we plan to release them on whichever of these two planets we've approached, convincing them that they are free and that we're in a hurry to resume our chase. However..... We have another plan....one that depends heavily on our away teams and their ability to blend in undercover....

LtCmdrRobinson -> Unfortunately we have another mission, taking you even this far is delaying us as it is. STSF_BluRox -> I take it you've had a chance to look at the plan? We lost track of the ship we were following with all the ion trails criss-crossing here. There are 2 planets and one small moon base that they could have put in at and landed to hide. Heather Jamieson -> Oh, I told them to keep it when they were turning us back from Orion green. LtCmdrRobinson -> If you want, we could shoot you out into space in torpedoes, in the general direction you wish to go. August Jax Robinson -> ::Snickers:: leave it, or couldn't be totally removed STSF_BluRox -> If they are even hiding....they may have thought they got clean away. We're going to release and track 'our guests'. Holly's already marked them, Will and Christina are taking them down, and then Jax, Ayumu and Heather are going to follow from a distance.

STSF_BluRox -> I was thinking originally....of sending you, but you sat in the interviews, not sure if you think they’d recognize you from a distance.. Heather Jamieson -> I'm glad you and Christina were there with me. Rue Wydown -> If we have tracking devices, then why send the crew so close? Ayumu Kasuga -> Yeah, it was a disaster, but at least we stuck together. But next time, we'll just call Hans for a ride. August Jax Robinson -> ::thinks- SO glad she wasn't there or Green:: Bernie> No no...Its fine Mr. Security......we're just happy for the drop off...really we are. Thank you for getting us away from those ...criminals... STSF_BluRox -> It's just a viridian patch...if they change, no good. But we need to find who they are talking with, who's helping them. I want all these creeps.. Ayumu Kasuga -> It really wasn't easy being green. (Couldn't help myself!) STSF_BluRox -> Do you want to go down as well? STSF_BluRox -> I'm not sure how many Caitians there may be down there, so I may stand out too much.... STSF_BluRox -> (::facepalm:: Ayumu) Heather Jamieson -> I'm not that much of a dancer either.

Besides, I could just connect up with Robinson and Christina if needed. STSF_BluRox -> Bernie> Oh yea....she was fine too..... I'll have to look her up for sure. I bet she'd know who we could stay with for a bit too STSF_BluRox -> Alright then.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51601.14 - Season 21 The combined Galae and rebelling Tal Shiar are making final preparations to strike against the coup driven by leaders of our own world in league with Othan Tal'Shiar and their leadership.

USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 516601.11 - Season 24 While security was busy trying to glean information from the 'guests' they had picked up remaining at the raiders base, the ship had been slowly making up time and gaining on the ion trail they had been chasing. The system we are approaching has 2 planets that deal in merchant trade and being so far from populated space, has been reported to have a number of.....less than reputable merchants working the area BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM Note:: 3 hours have passed since the last sim.... August JAX Robinson -> ::was remembering the party:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Driving the ship:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::in security, going over the interview logs:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Coordinating with Kasuga on sensors :: August JAX Robinson -> ::exits her office and heads to the lift::: STSF_BluRox -> ::exits the ready room:: Christina_Nickles -> :: in the brig area cleaning up from lunch:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Safely maneouvres the ship around obstacles and plotting a course to nearby planets, outposts, stations or the like in which that could potentially harbour a gang of criminals on the run:: STSF_BluRox -> Heather, Ayumu...I hope you've found something for us to focus on? What have you found of this system we're approaching? LtCmdrRobinson -> ::leads one of the raiders back to a cell:: LtCmdrRobinson -> I take it no one is starving to death now? Christina_Nickles -> : opens the cell for Will allowing the prisoner to enter, then closes it again: Bernie> Hey!! Wait...I thought that was "Never Ending Pasta" :: looking at Christina....I'm still sorta hungry hon O'Mally> Yea, and I demand to know why we're being kept locked up? Does your Federation always treat people you rescue like this? Heather Jamieson -> There are two planets in this system reported to support trading both on an off the books. LtCmdrRobinson -> No you're not. Ayumu Kasuga -> There are also a few potential places they could be hiding according to Heather's scans; there is a small moon orbiting a gas giant that is large enough to hide in, along with some asteroids large enough to hide a vessel in. STSF_BluRox -> Pull up that system map on the main viewer. Holly, what information do you have on those planets? Heather Jamieson -> :: System map comes up on the main viewer :: LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes, yes this is how we treat everyone we rescue. August JAX Robinson -> ::walks off the lift, starts down the hall:: Holly> :: appears next to Ayumu and looks at her head:: You Know..you're hair would look great if you wore it braided and looped up to the side there...... STSF_BluRox -> Holly.....The system please..... Holly> I agree with Ayumu......scary enough. They might be hiding in the asteroids, or even by that small moon.... Ayumu Kasuga -> ::ponders... may keep that in mind:: Holly> However....if they are hauling the amount of goods that we think they are, they'll need to be able to offload it. I think they'd have to risk actually landing at one of the small spaceports...most likely on the periphery of one of the larger space port towns.....There are 2 on Eridas 3, and 1 on Kleros 2. Holly> :: whips out a bow and pins it to Heather's head. STSF_BluRox -> Holly....that's not regulation.....and not approprate for the bridge... August JAX Robinson -> ::steps onto the Bridge:: Holly> No...but if you are going to have to send a team down looking for the raiders....they will need to look more causal...no uniforms STSF_BluRox ->::hears the door open, turns to see August:: Good evening August. I hope all is well...that your quarters are not yet paint spattered? Bernie> Tha'ts not true, I remember....... :: stops:: Heather Jamieson -> :: Never wears a bow in her hair, but no opposed :: STSF_BluRox -> (ok, what color is Heather's new bow?) Heather Jamieson -> Are we to pose as merchants? Heather Jamieson -> (She has auburn hair) August JAX Robinson -> let’s hope not, the day is still young tho Ayumu Kasuga -> (What colour goes good with auburn? Blue? Green?) STSF_BluRox -> August...how's the repairs going on those shuttles that got damaged in the fighting in that asteroid field? Heather Jamieson -> (green) STSF_BluRox -> +Will+ Please report to the bridge. Bring Christina with if she's there too please LtCmdrRobinson -> Remember what, Bernie? August JAX Robinson -> they are coming along, some of the dents might remain though LtCmdrRobinson -> +Blu+ Understood. Heather Jamieson -> :: Bringing up information on Eridas III and Kelros II :: Bernie> Nothing...just something I heard once.... LtCmdrRobinson -> Heard what? STSF_BluRox -> August...as long as they keep the air in....I think that's what's most important August JAX Robinson -> ::nods:: I will go see to the progress Heather Jamieson -> :: Touches the bow :: STSF_BluRox -> Whoa....... Just wanted to make sure your backup could handle it......See........it's time for another field trip..... STSF_BluRox -> And this time..I don't plan on letting them get away... STSF_BluRox -> But first..... we need to narrow down where we might find them...hopefully, Will got some information from them during their ....chat LtCmdrRobinson -> ::tags Nickles on the shoulder:: We gotta head upstairs. STSF_BluRox -> But....even if they didn’t tell Will....you see..... I have a plan..... Holly> and....have you told Rue about this plan? STSF_BluRox -> She's on her rest shift after interviewing our guests, and is scheduled to take over the bridge come Beta shift.....she'll know soon enough... Heather Jamieson -> :: She was not sure if Holly was giving her a gift of sorts or just something for the mission :: STSF_BluRox -> However, no need to wake her........ LtCmdrRobinson -> ::riding the lift up:: Ayumu Kasuga -> ::might try to do her hair up as Holly suggested if she's being Shanghaied into going as well:: LtCmdrRobinson -> ::steps on the bridge:: You needed to see me? STSF_BluRox -> :: after 5 minutes of elevator music in the lift while we wait for them:: August JAX Robinson -> ::looks over progress report while she waits:: STSF_BluRox -> Ah good......so were you able to get any destination for where the raiders might be heading to fence some of their stolen goods? Heather Jamieson -> :: Would like to scan in greater detail, but does not want to tip anyone off :: STSF_BluRox -> Because I have an idea if you were not able to get them to talk... LtCmdrRobinson -> What I got...is that they are lying liars who lie. Other than that, they will not cooperate. LtCmdrRobinson -> One has amnesia, one has an eating disorder, and one is just a dick. STSF_BluRox -> I about figured as much. Rue hadn't sent anything from them either..... ::turns to look at Will:: Seriously? STSF_BluRox -> An eating disorder? Ayumu Kasuga -> Amnesia...(q) STSF_BluRox -> :: smirks at him:: LtCmdrRobinson -> Yeah, I want to murder them all. But I take it I am still not allowed to, so... STSF_BluRox -> Ok...Let me know what you think about this....... STSF_BluRox -> So we caught them in the raider's base....yet they were not locked down, had the run of the place and hid behind security systems when we arrived.....of course they are liars..and the fact that they knew of the dead mutants....and neglected to say anything about them at first.....more worried about a cake....shows up they were not that overly concerned about their safety.... STSF_BluRox -> HOWEVER...... What if we were to....' buy their raft of lies'? STSF_BluRox -> We don't know which of these two planets that the raiders would have headed too, and which port on which planet. Who even says they went to the planet, they could be elsewhere? STSF_BluRox -> What if.....we were to tell them that we've found nothing on them in our database, hope they understand our need for security on the ship, and ask them to forgive the accommodations... STSF_BluRox -> AND.... we offer to drop them off at one of these planets where they can arrange passage elsewhere from.. August JAX Robinson -> it sounds like we run a Shuttle service STSF_BluRox -> But.....while you process them out...what if you were to slip a viridian patch onto their jackets or some way to track them. We can release them, appear to leave, and then we can follow their movements as they try to find their group again. We'll let them lead us right to the one's we're chasing..... STSF_BluRox -> Unless....anyone has a better plan? I'm open to other thoughts on how to find the others... LtCmdrRobinson -> Well we are not allowed to torture them for answers, so your plan might work better. Heather Jamieson -> Sounds good Admiral. LtCmdrRobinson -> I’d rather just transport them to the holodeck and let the holodeck do all the work though. Not sure if that would be practical though, but then we would always know where they are. See where they go there? STSF_BluRox -> No, that would not work, because the holodeck will not have the dirt bags that they are used to seeing and meeting with here.... STSF_BluRox -> We can send down a few groups, and observe from a distance. They know you and Christina though Will, you may have to monitor from farther out. Remember, we're here for the bigger picture. These guys, were even considered useless by the raiders...it's the other raiders I want the most STSF_BluRox -> We'll send Holly down to give them the news and... make our apologies. With her holo-features, she'll be able to apply the patches without them even knowing. We'll have Will and Christina escort them down in a shuttle to release them....and several of us, will be in another, following from a distance. STSF_BluRox -> Everyone good with this plan? Ayumu Kasuga -> Sounds good to me Heather Jamieson -> I'm good. STSF_BluRox -> Civilian clothing then if you would folks...except Will and Christina, uniform for you for now.....change after you've released them. Pack something on the shuttle before we bring them to you. LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods:: I'll be glad to be rid of them. STSF_BluRox -> Remember, this is an distant post, there will not be fancy dress here...practical as if working on a freighter or something........do not draw attention to yourselves STSF_BluRox -> I intend to have you pick them up again once we are done with them...and we'll send them away with the others Will.... August JAX Robinson -> So I am a patsy? STSF_BluRox -> Remember, if this works out right.... A week on Risa for the crew. Botch it up, and a weekend on Ferenginar STSF_BluRox -> You August, can hide easily as a mechanic.....and if we need to try to sneak you onto their crew......you'd know the speak and the engineering to draw an eye to you.... PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox -> Good work all...this should be fun, we're going hunting...wabbits...I mean..raiders STSF_BluRox -> Any questions for next week? August JAX Robinson -> ::night night stay warm STSF_BluRox -> and just to mess with you all... STSF_BluRox -> TBS...again.. let's say.....30 minutes STSF_BluRox -> hahaha STSF_BluRox -> ok then..night all STSF_BluRox -> CREW DISMISSED

That being said..... USS Republic Mission Briefing 05151228 - Season 24 Holly knew the crew had been putting in extra hours and had been dealing with some of the horrors that they found with J'Rom's latest mutant project. To give them a break from the chase and interrogations, the D-shift has taken duty, while most of the ship is off having a large holiday party over in holodeck 1.
