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

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Looks like it. ::glances back at the passengers for confirmation::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Looks like they're landing. :: descending into the planet's atmosphere:: Heather, can you find a good place to land? Not too close to Will's shuttle, so they can't see us

STSF_BluRox -> Bernie> Yea, Yea....this will do. You can just leave us right off here....

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ Yes, I am plotting several areas now. Do you wish remote or along established route, guaging from ion emissions.

Rue Wydown -> Giles>A backwater planet and a backwater port city. Yeah, looks about right to me too.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ Somewhere along the route. We don't want to be too far away from them.

STSF_BluRox -> (this is a "for this planet" the larger city, there were 3 spaceports here.

STSF_BluRox -> (1 cargo, 1 people, 1 both)

August Jax Robinson -> 1

 

ACTION> Will has landed at the port that main people hub, to help from losing them among the cargo containers...

 

20:54 Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ We should chose the location with both cargo and people...there.

Bernie> Too bad you have a mission, we'd invite you for a drink.....to celebrate

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() How far is that from the main people port Will landed in?

Bernie> ::grins at Will:: We'll be sure to have a few for you... Later Feddie boy..... You can open the hatch now....

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::opens the back ramp:: Well, gentlemen. Looks like you are on your own from here on out. Apologies again for the recent...accommodations.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() I'd love the drink, but last time I did that I ended up married with kids. You guys take it easy.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::plots in a landing vector and acquires clearance to land::

O'Malley> !@#$%$^^& The food wasn't too bad, but a decent bed should have been allowed...treating us like common criminals...I'm going to file a complaint

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ six clicks

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_ Bernie> : exits and waves to the shuttle, then starts down the street, waving O'Malley to join him::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ Not really that far, but they use the lay of the land as cover.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ We should be able to monitor them from that range. I'm bringing us in.

Rue Wydown -> Giles>::after being stuck in the same living quarters with O'Malley and Bernie, Giles has just about perfected a passive expression to keep from displaying how revolted he is of the two of them::

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::finds an empty landing spot and takes her down for a soft landing on the tarmac::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::opens the exit hatch and begins powering down the shuttle:: All right, well, as ranking officer, I'll be following Jax's lead.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ We need to secure this shuttle... :: looks at Kasuga ::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods:: lets head out then

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::exits the shuttle, glances around for their target::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ Yep, yep. Way ahead of you there. ::locks down the shuttle and follows Jax out::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::closes the ramp back up after they leave, and takes off once clear::

Rue Wydown -> Giles>And there by the grace of gods go I. ::watching the two of them head off, glances at Robinson, shakes his head and heads in the opposite direction...not about to question what luck he had to get off that stupid planet their boss stranded them on, on purpose, nor his luck to get away from Frick and Frack who have no clue::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::Secures the shuttle once Heather steps off::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :: Looks around :: I hope the attire we have is accurate. :: Looks down at her outfit ::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() who cares, I think they are splitting up

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::looks around the port:: Yeah, I'd say it is. Nobody's even giving us a second look.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@$%^&*()_ Hmm.

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() +Shuttle 2+ Our suspects are planetside. Looks like one split off though. So, problems already.

!@#$%^&*()_ Cardboard Christina> Will, should I stay with the shuttle in case we need a quick pick up, or should I change out gear and go help scout around?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::has Nickles look for a shady spot to park the shuttle where it wont be found::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I will follow the single person, you two follow the pair

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ ::nods:: Understood...

!@#$%^&*()_ Bernie> :: turns to O'Malley> Where's he think he's going?

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :: follows ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::follows as well::

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::Follows Giles, trying to blend in::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Stick with the shuttle, you can beam me around if needed. ::starts to change::

!@#$%^&*()_ O'Malley> Who? Oh...Giles? He's been in a bad mood since we got left..... who needs him. We'll meet up with the others, and make sure we still get our share of the credits from the loot. He's going off, then he forfeits his share.

!@#$%^&*()_ Bernie> Yea, can you believe those Feddies actually fell for that story we told them....no wonder their bases were so easy to breach. Always willing to lend a hand f

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::blending in with the locals as she follows Bernie and O'Malley, using the crowd as cover::

!@#$%^&*()_ Cardboard Christina> Aye sir. :: suddenly realized he's about to strip out of his uniform and politely turns to face the other way...

Rue Wydown -> Giles>::enters the nearest ticketing agency to look at all the options on places where he could possibly retire::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :: Keeping an eye on those two ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::gets in undercover mode:: Alright, I'm going to hang way back so I don’t get spotted. ::makes sure his tricorder is picking up their signals::

Rue Wydown -> Giles>::muttering:: Valax looks good. Sandy beach, two suns...sure there's some tropical drinks somewhere there, right?

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::tries to see what Giles is looking at::

!@#$%^&*()_ Bernie> O'Malley.....there’s a bar up ahead that I know..... lets duck in there, grab a drink, and see if any of the group have been in. We need to find out if they're here, or over on Kleros 2

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() Nickles, transport me back to the landing area. I'll call if we get into trouble.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ Looks like they're heading to that bar. Hope you're thirsty.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ I could use something..

Rue Wydown -> Giles><m>Although Horbath might be nice too. Snow skiing, beautiful views, no mutants. Isolated.

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*()_ Well, it'd look really out of place if we went to a bar and not bought anything.

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :: Slips into the bar and walks up to the barkeep. :: And ale for myself and my friend.

!@#$%^&*()_Bartender> Wouldn't you girls like a nice Zima instead? Or a fruity wine drink?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::beams down::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() Yeah, I'll give the Zima a try.

STSF_BluRox -> (the only place in the galaxy that still has some...lol)

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::pays the bar tender in the local currency and casually looks around the bar::

Heather Jamieson -> Whiskey? :: Looks around for either of the two ::

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::Looks over the locations along with Giles..but blending in::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() I recommend the zinfandel. It's a good year.

!@#$%^&*()_ Bartender> A zinfanwhat?

 

Rue Wydown -> Giles> Ah...here we go. This one. ::pulls out the brochure::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() THe fruity wine.. someone told me once that's what they called it.

!@#$%^&*()_Bartender> Here.....:: pulls a bottle out from under the counter:: pours them a glass each and pushes it across to them::

Rue Wydown -> Giles>Yep. Definitely this one. ::pockets the brochure before heading out of the agency as he's got to check his savings balance before the books this flight::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ :: sips ::

!@#$%^&*() Bartender> Obviously, you're new here? What brings you to town?

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::Glancing over the brochures... ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sees August shadowing one of them, decides to keep distance::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() THanks. Cheers. ::sips:: We're visiting some friends, and just checking out the bargains in the shops. Not looking for anything particular, though.

 

!@#$%^&*() ACTION> A figure stands off in the distance watching Giles for a few moments, then turns and walks back down the street to a small inn

 

Rue Wydown -> Giles>::weaves his way through the crowd::

STSF_BluRox -> !@#$%^&*()_Bernie> :: orders another round for he and O'Malley, and seeing somone he knows, waves her over::

# Cardboard Christina> On the shuttle tracking the crew members movements::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::doesn't look at, but listens in on them from her stool::

August Jax Robinson -> @ ::walks through the crowd unnoticed::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::idly conversing with Heather about girl stuff::

Heather Jamieson -> !@#$%^&*()_ (w) No, I'd not do ribbons no matter what the cost of material..

 

!@#$%^&*()_ACTION> :: a purple skinned woman walks over to join them, landing right in Bernie's lap:: What are you doing here? You didn't even call. I thought I saw some of the guys you work with earlier. When I didn't see you with them, I was afraid you'd gotten caught or shot or something.

 

Rue Wydown -> Giles>::ducks into a building and disappears from sight::

!@#$%^&*()_Bernie> Ah, you know I'd always stop by to see you if we are here. When did you see the others?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::more worried about watching August® now, then Giles::

Ayumu Kasuga -> !@#$%^&*() ::glances at the purple skinned woman out of the corner of her eye:: Oh come on, it'll look good on you. A nice blue or green ribbon.. I saw some nice ones at a stall on the way here.

!@#$%^&*()_Bernie> We got separated, so I'm trying to get caught up with them......
