Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Phoenix Incident" 10402.22

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
All: We must hide somewhere.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The crew emerges from the passageway into the teeming, underground megapolis of Phoenix IV

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Blending in to the crowds is probably the easiest solution.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
All: We should talk only Romulan when in the crowd.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CO: <whispers> I agree. Do we stick to the original 2-diferent-crews-plan?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The city has been hollowed out of the inside of the planet, complete with a holosky to give the illusion of an outdoor city, it is currently raining, several monorails connect buildings within the city as aircars go by

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CO: <whispering> I'm sorry, Captain, I do not know how to speak Romulan.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CSO: You just have to remain quiet while we're in the crowd.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: Like any city, there are poor neighbourhoods, wealthy areas, shops, various people amongst the streets, it is currently 8am in the city, the sky will change to simulate different parts of the day

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CO: Of course.  I'll stand by you, looking fearsome, Sir.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CTO: We should find a place to stay somewhere. <in Romulan>

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Agreed. But one of the first things we need to do is to find me some new clothes. <in Romulan>

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Having that blood all over me doesn't really help us hide from.. them. <in Romulan>

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::listens to the UT but doesn't respond with words, just nods at the CTO, while looking at his clothes::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: Romulan guards begin to search the city with their hounds, however, the hounds quickly loose the scent, become confused and start to fight amongst themselves when faced with the scents of the millions of people in the city.  It is quite a commotion

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CTO: We need new clothes, apparently. <in Romulan>

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Yes. I think we should find one of the less wealthy neighborhoods and try to get some clothes there. <in Romulan>

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: The better off people probably have better relations with the authorities. <in Romulan>

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A monorail train stops nearby ,picks up people and goes about its way

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CTO: I think it might be better if I just picked up average clothing from a nearby store.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CTO: <whispering> why don't we just steal while nobody's looking?

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CTO: You would probably be better of staying outdoors as you don't want to raise so much attention.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: Stealing is way too risky. We should avoid all possible contacts with the local authority.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: As the crew walk along, it continues to rain, neon lights indicate the crew is in the restaurant/retail district

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CTO: <whispering> I agree, but letting romulans see those stains isn't quite low-profile

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Getting what we need from the store nearest to the gate might arouse suspicions; but then again so do these stains.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CTO: Exactly. That's why the sooner, the better.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CTO: <whispering> why don't you just wait here hiding for a minute while me and the CO buy some clothes?

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Starts looking for a clothes store::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Starts walking to a nearby shop:: CTO: Wait here.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Enters the shop::

Host Shopkeeper says:
::sweeping::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::follows silently the CO::

Host Shopkeeper says:
CO: Good Morning to you ::puts down broom::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
Shopkeeper: Morning. I'm looking for two outfits for my body guards.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Sees CO notice and enter a shop, walks around the block, trying to look normal, while the others are shopping::

Host Shopkeeper says:
CO: Would you like them tailored?

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
Shopkeeper: That won't be necessary. I'd rather replace the body guards than two expensive outfits. ::Laughs::

Host Shopkeeper says:
CO: ::chuckles:: Yes of course, good business sense. ::gestures to his rack of off the shelf clothes::

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Hopes the rain will make his clothes look merely ordinarily dirty::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
Shopkeeper: Anyway, I'd like the clothes to be cheap but scary-looking. Masks and all that stuff.

Host Shopkeeper says:
::gestures to some generic thug outfits, 35 credits::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Takes a look at the outfits:: Shopkeeper: I'll take two of these.

Host Shopkeeper says:
CO: Something custom for yourself?

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::looks at the outfits and also notices the rain::

Host Shopkeeper says:
::gets out his tape measure::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
Shopkeeper: No, thanks. And generic sizes will do.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::walks a bit on the shop::

Host Shopkeeper says:
CO: Fine, very well, Sir.

Host Shopkeeper says:
::arranges some of his knives on the wall::

Host Shopkeeper says:
Scene: The CTO notices Romulan patrols on the streets with their arctic hounds

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Takes the clothes in two boxes and gives 70 credits to the shopkeeper::

Host Shopkeeper says:
::finishes the transaction and picks up his broom, knows not to ask questions::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::goes over to the CO::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Takes the two boxes, carries them and leaves the shop::

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Glances at the guards to see where they are but doesn't spend any more time looking at them::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::glances around and smiles at the shopkeeper, nods to himself and walks out of the shop::

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Gives some uninterested looks to the descriptions of intruders the guards are placing around::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::walks near the CO::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Tries to see where the CTO is::

Host Shopkeeper says:
Scene: People continue to mull about the streets of this dark and mysterious world

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::glances around and mulls around with the other people::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CSO: You could take these boxes, go to the CTO and find a place to change your clothes.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CSO: A bathroom of a restaurant or something like that.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Finishes his walk around the block and notices the others in front of the shop::

Host Shopkeeper says:
Action: The XO mistakenly bumps into someone and they unknowingly drop their wallet

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::nods to the CO, picks the boxes and starts walking::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Looks at the XO::

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Walks to the others::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::sees the CTO and walks towards him::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::thinks for a moment and quickly scoops up the wallet, than walks calmly off in another direction::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Goes with the XO::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
CTO: <whispering> I have here our clothes.  Shall we go to a public WC and change?

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: That might work.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: Let's try to keep a low profile anyway, though.

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::slips the wallet into his pocket without looking in it.::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
XO: See those two people? ::Points at the CTO and CSO:: Why don't we go to the same restaurant as they are going to?

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::turns a corner, looks at a shop across the street, than pulls out the wallet and rifles the contents before putting it back and walking away::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::nods:: CTO:<whispering> Let's go to that restaurant.  ::points::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::grunts at the CO::

Host Shopkeeper says:
Scene: The party is in the restaurant/retail district, there are parked aircars on both sides of the street and modest hotels around as well, it has stopped raining

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: That's probably as fine as any.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Walks to the restaurant::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::walks in the restaurant::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::continues to match the speed of the people around him heading in the general direction of the restaurant::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Walking with the XO::

Host Server says:
Action: An attractive young romulan woman walks up to the CSO.

Host Server says:
CSO: One for breakfast?

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::makes 2 with the fingers and coffs::

Host Server says:
CSO: Right this way

XO Cmdr Durron says:
CO: you know we probably should be talking about something.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
XO: Yes, true. About many things.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Follows the server::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::looks at the attractive romulan and thinks "Wow" and follows the server::

Host Server says:
Action: A young romulan bumps the XO

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::turns to face the young romulan, his left hand checking his wallet::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::nodds:: CO: Press on.  I will catch up with you.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
XO: Right.

Host L aen says:
CSO: Coffee?

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::follows the youth::Youth: pardon me but I seem to have dropped my wallet...it wouldn't happen to have landed in your pocket would it.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
L aen: Yes, please.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::nods at the server::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Enters the restaurant::

Host L aen says:
<youth> ::runs off down an alley::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::looks at the youth than swears in romulan and takes off after the youth::

Host L aen says:
CSO: What’s the matter cat got your tongue? ::smiles::

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
L aen: My friend is having a sore throat, we're here to see if a hot drink will help.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::In the restaurant, looking around::

Host L aen says:
Action: The youth turns a corner under an elevated monorail , noisy and loud alleyway

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::smiles and cofs a bit, like he's an old smoker of the XXI century earth::

Host L aen says:
CTO: Of course.  Walks off to get drinks

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::slows a moment and glances around beginning to suspect a trap but follows the youth::

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::looks at the CTO and nods.  Also points at the WC in the next corner::

Host L aen says:
Action: Several Youths move from within the shadows and begin to surround the XO

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: Let's first drink our coffees. <silently> I think we'll arouse less suspicions that way.

Host L aen says:
::returns with the drinks:: CSO/CTO: Care for smokes?

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::stops and glances around than smiles dangerously:: <romulan>Youths: well well well what have we here.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::makes a disgusted face at the smoke suggestion and starts drinking his coffee::

Host L aen says:
<Gang> XO: We have a victim. Ok this is a shakedown, empty your pockets

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
L aen: I don't smoke. It doesn't seem to to good to one's throat.. ::Glances at CSO::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::As no one is coming to speak to him, goes for CSO's and CTO's table:: CTO: Mind if I take a seat?

Host L aen says:
CO: Drink or smoke?

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CO: Not at all. ::Sips his coffee::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
<Romulan> Youths: No, I am afraid you are mistaken.

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
L aen: Drink, thanks.

Host L aen says:
<gang> ::brandish knives::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::looks at the youth who spoke.:: Youth: Now now. you don't want to do something silly and get yourself hurt do you?

Host L aen says:
<Youth> XO: Lets have it old timer

XO Cmdr Durron says:
Youth: ok listen here punk. you've got me out numbered right?

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
::Sitting with the CSO and CTO, waiting for his drink::

Host L aen says:
<Gang> ::waits, with their knives listening:: XO: Yeah, easy

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Drinks coffee and relaxes::

Host L aen says:
::leaves::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
Youth: You're expecting to take my money, cut me and run right?

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::sees server leaving:: CO/CTO <whispering> I think the CTO should change as sooner as possible.  ::cofs loudly::

Host L aen says:
<Gang> ::move in closer::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
Youth: But if you don't kill me I'll pull some authority in here and you will have to find a new home...are you prepared to kill someone?

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CSO: If he dropped his coffee on his arms, then certainly he would have to change.

Host L aen says:
Action: Two youths take a swipe at the XO

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::nods at the CO's remark::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::pushes in to one of the youths pushing his knife arm out and adds a gut punch for good measure::

Host L aen says:
Action: Another two youths take a swipe

Host L aen says:
Scene: The gang begin to size up the XO like a pack a hungry wolves

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::grabs one of the second pair of youth's arm at the wrist and breaks it than pulls out the disruptor:: <Loudly>Youths: BACK OFF>

Host L aen says:
Action: The gang see the disruptor and begin to skulk away...

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Appears to be almost falling asleep in the comfortable chair and tranquil environment of the restaurant.. until some hot coffee drips onto his chest::

Host CO Capt Sketek says:
CSO: Well look at that. I knew it.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::looks at CTO pretending to look angry::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
Youths: I pull the trigger you all got to find a new home real quick like.  So while this may be fun and I don't want to kill anyone.  if someone doesn’t give me my wallet now I pull the trigger.

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
::Makes a painful face::

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::looks at the youth who spoke before and levels the disruptor one handed at the youth::

Host L aen says:
Action: The Youth who pickpocketed the XO drops the wallet

CTO Cmdr Senek says:
CSO: Now are there any bounds to my clumsiness. You have our new work clothes? I guess I'll have to change into them.

XO Cmdr Durron says:
::eases the gun down to his side. and glances briefly at the wallet.:: Youths: now I am sure that you have things you could be doing.

CSO Cmdr Z`heta says:
::hands one of the boxes to the CTO::
