Host Vaughn says:
At the request of Trade Negotiator, Syarta, the Abertura crew is ready to embark on a journey to the newly formed territory of Degeneu. Their destination is the capitol city of the same name. A series of murders as of yet goes unsolved and due to the political nature the stakes are high.

CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Walks into the hangar with a duffle bag on each shoulder, and carrying another in his hands. He walks up to the side of the runabout and exhales:: Aloud: Phew!
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Arrives in the C & C, moves upward to the Captain's office::
XO_Azhure says:
::Looks up::  CSO:  You ready?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::pushes a button before the First can signal and watch the door open for the Jem'Hadar::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Glances at the CSec's rifle and raises an eyebrow:: Self: I just knew I forgot something.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Blinks at the doors opening:: CO: Captain.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: You needed one?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Glances down to make sure the tricorder is still on his hip...it is.::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Swivels in his chair:: ALL: You can all come in, I'm doing pre-flight check-up.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: First.
General_Ranuck says:
::Strolls noisily out of the station towards the runabout::  XO: Ma'am, permission to come along?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
CSec : ::Considers for a second, then shakes his head:: Nah. If I want I can just grab a type two from the runabout.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Walks in, and remains still before the CO's desk:: CO: You requested my presence.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods once again:: Yokati'Clon: What is your evaluation of the Jem'Hadar's performance in the last exercise?
XO_Azhure says:
::Turns to look at the general curiously::  General:  Any reason why?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
XO: Yes Ma'am. Ready as I'll ever be.
General_Ranuck says:
::Slaps Powers on the back::  XO: To make sure this one doesn't miss anything, of course!
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: Efficient from a strategic standpoint. ::Momentary pause:: From the standpoint of a Commander who gave express orders, there were issues.
XO_Azhure says:
::Nods to the CSO::
XO_Azhure says:
General:  I would hope he doesn't miss anything.  However, if you really want to come, I don't see any reason why not.  Other then asking you to mind your P's and Q's while we are there.  We don't want to start an incident.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods once again:: Yokati'Clon: And of station personnel?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Waits for the crew to come onboard::
General_Ranuck says:
::Looks at the CSec::  XO: I'll mind this P... you can watch the Qs
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: They acted proficiently with what they had available at the time.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Sighs and climbs in the runabout::  XO: Just leave him.
XO_Azhure says:
::Chuckles and climbs aboard::
XO_Azhure says:
CVO:  Are we ready to go?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Clambers aboard and walks to the back tossing his bags into a corner of the habitat module, then walks forward to the cockpit::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
CSO: Welcome onboard Ensign Kirbridge. Please have a seat. ::Gestures with a smile::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
XO: Welcome onboard Commander Azhure. Please have a seat. ::Gestures with a smile again::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Does the same for everyone else::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: gets her effects together and heads down to the tarmac ::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
CVO: Thank you. ::Nods, and takes a seat.::
XO_Azhure says:
::Takes the seat next to CVO::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
XO: All pre-flights are checked. We seem to be all set for departure. Is everyone onboard who is going?
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: I assume you have instructed your people to improve  your performance.  Do you have any recommendations for Station Personnel?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Reconfigures part of his panel to show the ship's sensor, and immediately feels more at home::
XO_Azhure says:
::Glances behind her::  CVO:  Just waiting for the good doctor.
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: walks out onto the tarmac and nods :: XO: Commander.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: Set up more proper defenses of the lift tunnel and the Jeffries tubes. Too easy to scale and not get shot. Everything else is a technical issue. I recommend an expansion of energy shield generators to be able to project when an opening is made in the ground. 
XO_Azhure says:
CMO:  Glad you can make it.  Take your seat please.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Nods::
XO_Azhure says:
CVO:  We are ready to go.
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: nods and takes a seat ::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
CSEC: Lieutenant Powers, if you could shut the door.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: I found something interesting... we had installed shroud detectors.. or so we thought. . . . they did not function. Do you have any speculations?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Glances over and watches the CVO go about his job. Is impressed.::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: I cannot speculate on something I had not been previously aware of. They malfunctioned?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Once the CSEC has shut the door, his fingers glide across the console. The Assunpink's thrusters push it off the tarmac::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: The Assunpink takes off, destination, Degeneu.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: Unknown. Some suspect the Vorta. I do not know. The fact is your presence was not detected.
XO_Azhure says:
::Sits back in her chair.::  CSO:  What info have you for us?
General_Ranuck says:
::After climbing aboard, against the protests of the CSec, he takes up a place at the back of the command center::  CSec: So... how was the conference?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: Hmm, I was not aware that would happen. That explains some of our ease in getting so far into the facility.
XO_Azhure says:
CVO:  ETA?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::The Assunpink glides over the Rebquo Mountains, Kayairn City glitters in the sunlight behind them ... the ocean glimmers before them::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: looking through all the stuff she brought and mumbles to herself ::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
XO: Not much I'm afraid. As you know there wasn't much in our orders. Some of the key information is 'undisclosed' at this time. I can only assume that that's for security purposes, and that more will be revealed when we arrive.
XO_Azhure says:
CSO:  It has been a long time since these people have dealt with a murder... outside of the incident we had here with the Klingons, shortly upon my arrival.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
General: Maybe we can talk about it later...
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
XO: 10 minutes, Commander. There are territories I have been advised to not fly over due to their issues with flying craft. 
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
XO: ::Raises an eyebrow:: I see. It's too bad that their streak has been broken.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: Can you assist in installing better detectors... less liable to... difficulties?
XO_Azhure says:
CVO:  Understandable.  After all, the murders have already been committed.  A wee bit of time or here won't make a difference except helping our relationship with the Haitians.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: I could give suggestions, but I must admit I am not good with technology. Especially the Starfleet technology you used to detect us.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Edit Haitians = Haisians>
XO_Azhure says:
<here or there>
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: Suggestions would be appropriate. Also... I would like to try an experiment.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: An experiment, Captain?
XO_Azhure says:
CSO:  When we land, try to get as much data as you can, discretely.  They are not going to be 'proud' of this incident.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: Jem'Hadar soldiers giving fighting training to Starfleet security.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
XO: Understood sir. ::Nods thoughtfully::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: My thoughts are for you people to teach ours how to defeat you... so you can devise new ways of fighting that you did not know before.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: I see. We train to kill, Captain. I do not believe your personnel would be willing to undertake that.
XO_Azhure says:
CVO:  Work with Ens. Kirbride.
XO_Azhure says:
CSec:  I want you with me when we question the Minister of justice.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Glances over at the pilot briefly, then turns his attention back to his sensor readings::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
XO: Of course, Commander.
General_Ranuck says:
::Leans towards Powers::  CSec: She still makes you call her Commander?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
XO: Aye, ma'am.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Gets frustrated::  Gen: General!
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: You are anticipating hostilities between our forces.
XO_Azhure says:
::Smiles as she catches the talk behind her.::  CMO:  I want you to check out the bodies.  Take the general with you.
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: nods :: XO:  Of course Commander.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::sighs:: Yokati'Clon: I plan for the worst... Killing is something that I have done... some that some security has done. I feel we can all learn from the experience.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Since this is his first time being in a runabout, Andy decides to take full advantage of the opportunity to learn the ship's sensor systems. He cycles through them noting their capabilities::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: I understand. But you are anticipating battle between your personnel and us.
XO_Azhure says:
::Looks out the window, wondering why the interim Prime Minister is unavailable.::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: A few weeks ago... the Ketrecel white was depleted here. Starfleet would like to know if it is possible for us learn from you should this situation arises elsewhere in the quadrant.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
ALL: We're now landing. ::Begins to land the Assunpink at the assigned space::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: The Assunpink lands safely at their destination.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Takes a quick scan of the local population just before they land::
XO_Azhure says:
::Nods and turns around to look at the group::  All:  Folks, we don't know what to expect or why all the secrecy.  No matter what, I want you on your best behavior.  It has taken us awhile to get things back on good footings with the people.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: Understood. Only a few of my personnel would be qualified to train your own. They would be the only ones I trust not to kill your personnel in the process.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
::Lands and begins to shut down the Assunpink:: ALL: And we have arrived.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
::Transfers his information to his tricorder, then shuts down his console::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: stands and waits to exit ::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: I expected as much... there is also... hatred in the security department. I would not trust all of my personnel to act respectively.
XO_Azhure says:
::Nodding she stands::  All:  Any questions before we meet our host?
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: shakes her head :: XO:  None from me Commander.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
XO: ::Shakes his head in the negative::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: This should be discussed further. As well, I must speak to the Vorta in regard to this.
XO_Azhure says:
::nods to CSec to open the hatch::
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
All: Alrighty, then, here we go!
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
::Opens the pod bay... err, runabout doors::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Waiting for the door to open, she steps past Powers and down to the ground, glancing around.::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Grabs a large PADD and tucks it under his arm before exiting the ship::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: I expected as much. The Vorta must be obeyed in your case. I personally would like to break his neck from time to time.
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@ :: exits behind everyone and looks around ::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Does not let a smile form:: CO: It would not be the first time.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@::Thinks people are in a hurry to get out of here::
General_Ranuck says:
@::Sniffs the air twice before exiting::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: Before the crew stands the parliament buildings, housing the various ministers and their staff.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Grabs a tricorder, and exits with the others. Shuts the doors, and puts in the code to keep the vessel locked up::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: There is a stiff wind and eerie feel to the place. No one is in sight.
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::nods:: Yokati'Clon: Nor the last... my gratitude for your candor and your time. Do you require anything?
XO_Azhure says:
@All:  Odd... It was my understanding someone would greet us.  ::Glances at the others::  Well, I guess we should just go ahead.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@XO: This isn't the site of the murder, is it?
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> CO: No, I do not.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Quietly::  CSec:  No... But something is not right here.  Can you smell it?
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Cracks open his tricorder and scans the area for life signs.::
Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Yokati'Clon: Dismissed.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Yokati'Clon> ::Nods and exits::
XO_Azhure says:
@CSO:  What are you picking up?
XO_Azhure says:
@General:  Be ready for the unexpected.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Glances at the doctor.::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@XO:  This is not where I was lead to believe the murder took place
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@::Pulls out his tricorder and looks around::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
:: flips open her tricorder to get readings::
XO_Azhure says:
@::A shiver run down her spine as she continues to walk toward the building.::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: The CMO's tricorder readings show nothing unusual.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ XO: Nothing unusual showing up on scans sir.
CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@::Brings his rifle to the ready, the quiet striking him as unusual::
XO_Azhure says:
@CSO:  perhaps I am just extra sensitive... something in the air as the saying goes.  ::Scans the building as they quickly come up to it.::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::While it's out, Andy transfers anything he got on his scans while aboard the ship from his tricorder to the PADD under his arm::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@XO:  I can confirm Ens. Kirbride's readings.
XO_Azhure says:
@CMO:  Small favors...  ::Begins to climb the stairs.::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@:: walks just behind the XO ::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Before the door on the landing, she reaches out and opens the large solid doors of ancient wood, then steps in.::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ XO: Well, one thing's for sure, it seems odd to not be met by someone if they knew we were coming. Perhaps it's a cultural difference? I'm not entirely familiar with Haisian customs yet. ::follows the XO, still scanning::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: The doors creek and reveal two very large officers standing on the other side.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Looks at the officers and nods her head::  Gentlemen, we have an appointment with the Minister of Justice.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Looks at the tall beings::
General_Ranuck says:
@::Brings up the rear of the group::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Seeing the officers he closes his tricorder and returns it to its holster. Best not to appear rude he reasons.::
Host Vaughn says:
<1st Officer> @ ::Looks down at the Starfleet officers then at his partner and nods. Then they both step aside::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@Self:  I guess that means we are expected.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Steps between the two men, leading the others, looking around for someone to greet them.::
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: As the officers step aside an unseen person rings a gong.
XO_Azhure says:
@::Glances at the doctor near her curiously::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Looks around the interior as he follows the XO. Then he hears the gong.:: Whispers: That sounds ominous.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Follows the others inside::
XO_Azhure says:
@ ::Quietly:: CSO:  Last time I heard a gong, was an invitation to dinner.
Host Vaughn says:
ACTION: After the gong a figure enters the room at the top of a large staircase in the middle of the room with another set of doors at the top.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::For some reason that he's not sure of, the XO's comment makes him queasy::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Looks up a the figure.::
Vaughn is now known as Syran.
Host Syran says:
@ ::In a military type uniform Syran stoically enters the room and descends the stairs::
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Looks at the uniformed figure descending the stairs analytically::
Host Syran says:
@::Reaching the bottom Syran instinctively gravitates to the XO and bows::
CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@ :: watches ::
XO_Azhure says:
@::Returns the bow solemnly::
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Stares at the fellow::
Host Syran says:
@ XO: I am Syran the Minister of Justice for the territory of Degeneu.
CSO_Ens_Kirbride says:
@ ::Feels weird just standing there while the XO bows, so he does too, a little hesitantly::
XO_Azhure says:
@Syran:  Greetings.  I am commander Azhure... ::Introduces the rest of her team.::
Host Syran says:
