USS Republic - December 3 2012

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing Season 21 - 512.12.03 Messages have been sent to the groups on the planet to have them each attend an auction and purchase a certain object which will lead them to their next clue. Several different auctions have been found and some of those on planet have been buying alot of different objects. However, a more serious auction has been noted to a few specific groups based upon their actions and movements, as it’s been assumed, that they are the ones that have been secretly ‘invited’. After a priority one message from Admiral Calvert, Blu has deemed it necessary to grab a few of the ‘green recruits’ (literally green), and head towards Risa herself, also undercover to follow up on new mission orders that are of the utmost importance.

STSF_BluRox -> (Tory sends her apologies, she's unable to get online....darned Canadian internets!)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (true)

Heather Jamieson -> ! Heather> Looks towards Johnson.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods at the Wife® at her excellent choice::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: Blu and Heather beam aboard a small Yridian ship, that has several chests of latinum, as well as some other 'cheap, declared self defense weapons to swap with the real ones to help get them to the Gamma Quadrant, if they won the auction::

 

Rue Wydown -> &Why no'. It was either this or get sauced. ::glances at Jameson/Han::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: The bid goes to 55 :: :: Raises his paddle ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I am here for...stuff.

Rue Wydown -> &Saw it when I first got here. It's pretty. All flash and whot not. ::motions with her hands:: Can get a bit crowded depending on the night.

Heather Jamieson -> ! Two minutes, waiting for local traffic.

Jameson Bardolph -> &Sounds worth checking out.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Don't go crazy.

Heather Jamieson -> ! Cleared for pad 17 West.

STSF_BluRox -> ! No...not the resort....the small landing strip away from the resort landing....there should be......2 red flags marking the field...::considering either aborting the mission or actually selling Heather at one of the Auctions:::

LtCdrJohnson -> !::almost to the Republic with the pilot of the vessel where he beamed Blu and Heather::

LtCdrJohnson -> !::raises an eyebrow, but does not ask any questions:

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Lands the Yridian vessel as instructed ::

Rue Wydown -> ::not sure how she's going to keep track of both Han and Trepp aaaaaaaaaaaaand change clothes at the same time, pulls a face with her back turned, but seems bright and cheerful when she turns around:: Aye, sounds lovely. Best view is near the south west corner. Near the rose alcove.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::hears the announcement:: Laser light show..

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Perhaps. What do I need?

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Lasers? Sounds old school.

Rue Wydown -> ::figures she can at least give herself a 50/50 chance if she steers them towards a place to meet up without them thinking she's trying to meet up::

Jameson Bardolph -> &::smiles:: Lead the way.

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Powers down the vessel :: We are here.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ It does.

LtCdrJohnson -> !@#$%^&*() BLIG> to Will:: If you are still in, meet me behind the fountain once the Lazer show starts::

Rue Wydown -> You want to go soaking wet? ::ruffles his damp wear::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> So, wine, Hor'gon's and a laser light show. I don't know what that means.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Nor do I..

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Understood.

LtCdrJohnson -> !@#$%^&*() BLIG>::goes back to looking imposing::

LtCdrJohnson -> !::arrives back at the Republic with the pilot::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::thinks she can take the Big guy... wimp::

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Gets out of the pilot chair and stands near the Admiral who she is not calling the Admiral ::

STSF_BluRox -> ! Stay behind me, and be quiet. If I act as if I'm selling you off, don’t' worry, I won't let them take you off planet....

Jameson Bardolph -> &Left my clothes at the other hotel. ::slightly lopsided grin:: I'm full a hot air; I’m sure I'll air-dry quickly.

LtCdrJohnson -> !+Republic+ Republic, this is Lt Commander Johnson, please open the shuttle bay doors

Heather Jamieson -> ! Get your credits worth at least...

LtCdrJohnson -> !@$%^&*() BLIG>::gives Jax a nasty look::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks at August:: This isnt going to end well, is it?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() does it ever my dear?

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Awaits to follow Blu ::

Rue Wydown -> ::laughs heartily:: That you are, that you are. Then this way, luv. ::motions for him to follow, saunters through the gathering crowd as if she's got no care in the world::

LtCdrJohnson -> !::pilots the shuttle into the bay::

STSF_BluRox -> ! ::Knows she'll have to keep Heather away from Stankwick, cause being Orion, he'd know she was a fake, but perhaps she could fool Berkazi. The Andorian was purported not to have actually met this transport group, other than the Yridiian

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> How far are we from the laser light show... pew pew..

Jameson Bardolph -> &::falls into step behind her, with cardboard Tory in tow and is getting the distinct sense of Rue's distrust and consequently his own is also rising::

STSF_BluRox -> ! Berkazi::Holds up weapon at the Caitian and Orion woman:: Who are you, and why are you here?

Jameson Bardolph -> &::but is keeping the same smile she is::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ About 150 meters?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() are we going to the light show?

LtCdrJohnson -> !::to Pilot:: I have been asked to show you to your quarters and get you a meal, assuming you are hungry

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Ah, and fewer and fewer meters as we walk.

Rue Wydown -> ::making conversation as she walks:: So how did you meet your lovely...erm....friend?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Pays for her gun and slips it in her fancy purse:: That looks so good in there

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Is behind the Caitian ::

STSF_BluRox -> ! I'm the replacement for that fool of a Yridian. He got himself good and drunk on DS9, and is currently in their brig. ::making up a story as she knew he had actually been found dead, but not knowing who else knew, could find herself getting shot here::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Sure, lets roll.

STSF_BluRox -> ! Berkazi:: Since when does he drink that much?

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Gets a seat with Kasuga ::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ! Since he's a coward and was afraid to go through with this. Luckily the boss found out in time, and got me take the fools place before it blew the deal here. I take it you're bidding? It's almost time isn’t' it?

STSF_BluRox -> ! ::nods to Heather to go get one of the empty cargo cases to transport some of their buys in::

LtCdrJohnson -> !::shows the pilot to guest quarters::

STSF_BluRox -> ! Berkazi> If you're here as his replacement...then what is the password?

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Glad she didn't know too much about this. Goes to get an empty case :: :: Perks up, continues to walk ::

Heather Jamieson -> (well, been nice simming with you all)

STSF_BluRox -> ! ::praying it hadn’t' changes in the last fortnight:: Comet

Jameson Bardolph -> &Wife. ::smiles, while trying to remember if he's said anything in particular about their history yet, so as not to contradict himself::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Shows Will the inside of her purse::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Looks good.

STSF_BluRox -> !Berkazi> ::knows it was one of the passwords, albeit from the other day, but if the Caitian had been dispatched before it was changed, it would be the right one

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Gets the empty case and brings it to her boss ::

STSF_BluRox -> ! Berkazi> Alright, you bought yourself another day. Follow me to the auction.....

Jameson Bardolph -> &A long, meandering sorta story. ::grins:: She ended up booking passage on my freighter a ways back and things just sorta...fell into place.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Perhaps this would be a somewhat romantic laser light show. Do they have those? ::

STSF_BluRox -> ! Berkazi> ::knows most of the auction has been completed by electronic bidding, and only a few of the big pieces remained. Yet...he would have his revenge, and just wait til they saw.....they'd all be surprised at the outcome if he had his way...

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I wonder what that guy has for us

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Follows, with the empty cargo case ::

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION> Announcement that the Laser Light show is about to begin....

 

Rue Wydown -> Oh, c'me on luv. I love a good tale. ::leaning against a pillar now that they've reached their destination:: That's all there is?

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Looks at the win she bought. Mad Dod 20/20? Perhaps that was the year ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ They probably do. ::heads to the lightshow venue::

 

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() lets find a safe spot to watch this thing.

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION> In some way or another, many of the Republic crew that have been undercover, have made their way to the South Gardens to watch this laser show...

 

Heather Jamieson -> (oh he was just thinking that Kasuga :) )

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> You know. I've heard a new song is sweeping the subspace channels.. Klingon Style I think is the name. I don't need to hear that again.

 

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION:: The Laser Show starts, with light flashing on and off into the sky as well as a fairly loud orchestra playing music to the pulse of the lights

 

Jameson Bardolph -> &I'm afraid I don't have a good romantic streak...::deadpan:: She thought I was a right git for a while. which I guess I was.But a charming one. ::lopsided grin::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Oh yes... I watched it twice already.

Jameson Bardolph -> &::looks up in the direction of the lights::

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: Heather was grateful the password was correct ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::Looks up at the laser show::

LtCdrJohnson -> !@$%%^&*() BLIG>::behind the fountain, motions to Will::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Looks at Will:: maybe I have been around you too long, but I feel like this is a cover for something

LtCdrJohnson -> !::to pilot:: These are your quarters, please let me know if you need anything further. You can use this panel ::points:: to contact me

Rue Wydown -> ::having seen the light show before, makes a show of checking it out, but also checking the crowd out as well, something about this whole experience has made her uneasy::

STSF_BluRox -> Stankwich, and Smith have already arrived behind the fountain along with several large mercenary types, demonstrating some of the weapons and firing up into the sky along with the music and lasers to help hide them

Jameson Bardolph -> &::eyes flicking between the lights and Rue and Tory and the crowd around them::

Heather Jamieson -> ! :: All, such as it was, seemed to be going well. Mr. Robinson would like this part ::

 

 

STSF_BluRox -> Trepp, and several others are arriving about the same time as the Andorian Berkazi is, along with a dark colored Caitian and an Orion female

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::heads over to the fountain::

STSF_BluRox -> ::sees Will, and makes a small covert gesture towards him, hoping he picks up on one the the Security hand signals from the ship::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Follows Will:: Should I get my Micky out?

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

Jameson Bardolph -> ::PAWSORS::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::paused::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused::

Rue Wydown -> ::paused::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Paused ::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok... so everyone can be in the South Gardens if you want. Most of you were ID'd as potential buyers for the weapons sale, as you fit the descriptions of some of the agents that were supposed to pick up their passwords for the auction on Minos Korva, thus, you' all got an invite to the Weapons auction....in addition to the little fun auction for Horgahns that Blu had set up...

STSF_BluRox -> You can be arriving at the fountain, or not, up to you

STSF_BluRox -> any other questions?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Will there be grenades at the weapons sale?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I am good with grenades, as you all know

STSF_BluRox -> there will be one very, very , very........not so nice item

August Jax Robinson -> Monkeys?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Oh please let there not be any grenades

August Jax Robinson -> those aren't nice

Heather Jamieson -> Cheese?

STSF_BluRox -> rofl

STSF_BluRox -> Quick question...did anyone buy a monkey?

Heather Jamieson -> Nearly did

STSF_BluRox -> remember, any pets must go through Will

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, if no questions, let's call this a wrap

LtCmdrRobinson -> I should have never brought up monkeys

August Jax Robinson -> what if Will is my Pet?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I approved myself, dear.

STSF_BluRox -> Dave, we'll get you worked back in, may need you mainly as npc for this next week, but we'll get you back in

LtCdrJohnson -> *nod*

Rue Wydown -> OOoh, can I get a pet at auction too?

STSF_BluRox -> Ok...off with you all
