Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Phoenix Incident" 10404.04

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The crew have reunited at their hotel suites

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::in the hotel, leaving his quarters and walking towards the CNS's room::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::In his hotel room thinking about the plan::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::leaves his suite and heads to the CO's suite, tapping the bell::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sitting on his bed with a glass of water in one hand and holding his shoulder with his other::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::activates the CNS door's chime::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Goes to his door and opens::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Come!

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: May I speak with you a moment?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::opens door:: Hello Tal, how're doing today?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Yes, certainly.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: A light rain begins to fall outside, tapping against the windows like little fingers

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::steps inside and assumes a formal stance:: CO: Sir, I wish to submit myself to disciplinary action due to conduct unbecoming an officer.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::with the CSO::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Not that good I’m afraid. I hade no sleep this night and it still hurt like....::bits his lip to counter the pain::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'm sorry to hear that.  CEO: Do you have a medical tricorder with you?

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Flips out scanner and starts looking for bugs::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: Lemme have a look

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: First I would like to know what you have done.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Don't worry if you don't have a medical tricorder.  I see you're still busy with the debugging.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: Here you go. ::Hands medical tricorder to CSO::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::grabs the medical tricorder:: CEO: Thank you, Ensign

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: Yes sir. In my attempt to secure a transporter room for our use, I fired my disruptor at the chief at extremely close range. The disruptor misfired and killed the chief instantly. In retrospect, I've determined that this was not the best course of action to take and needlessly took a man's life.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Looks at tricorder and walks to picture on the wall::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: Hello, I've found a bug here. Could you give me a hand in disabling it?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Tal, I whish you told me about your insomnia.  I bet we'd find something in the hypospray that would help you get a good night sleep

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Such is combat. I do not believe that would give me sufficient grounds for disciplinary action.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: It does not matter, the only thing I want is for this wound to heal

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: Thank you, sir. The issue... was interrupting my sleep. It seems to me that I could have tried to disable him without firing my weapon.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Oh yeah, I see what you mean.  Let's have a look, shall we?  ::scans the CSO with the medical tricorder::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Finished disabling the bug::

XO Commander Durron says:
::in his suite looking at the equipment that he picked up::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: I'm all done here.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: We are constantly working with limited information and we can only spend limited time to choose the next course of action. This leads to mistakes. But such mistakes are not always your fault.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: True bad conduct is when you have the information and you have the time, and you still do the wrong thing.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to help you.  You've done a great job.  I think all the other rooms were checked for bugs, but feel free re-check.

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you, sir. I feel guilty about killing him… what about his family? But, I suppose these things happen at a weapons convention?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::shows the medical tricorder to the CNS:: CNS: Here, look for yourself.  I think you're healing quite well.

XO Commander Durron says:
::checks his jammer to make sure that it is still online.::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Checks personal jammer::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Great but isn't there a tissue regenerator in there somewhere?

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Walks to the XO's room:: ::Pushes call button::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'm afraid not...  Perhaps some of the other officers have one.  I'll check.  See you.

XO Commander Durron says:
::looks at the doorway and thinks for a moment, than goes to the door, and presses the respond button:: Door: Who is it.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Yes, these things do happen. You will have to find ways to explain these things to yourself.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: Room service.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: But we should now get together with the rest of the crew. We need to check our inventories and share the equipment.

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. I'll book some time with the CNS once we return to the Starbase.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::runs a bit to the XO's door::  CEO: Mr Conor, by the way, would you happen to have a tissue regenerator with you?

XO Commander Durron says:
::pulls out his disruptor and opens the door::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: I think the CNS has one.

XO Commander Durron says:
::sees the CEO and CSO::CEO/CSO: In.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: Nice to see you too.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
XO: Hello, Commander.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Crew* Everyone should gather in XO's room.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::opens his med-kit a discovers a regenerator in there:: Self: just great, and I did not know  ::starts regenerating his tissue::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: I was thinking we can remake these bugs into personal jammers

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: Shall I meet you there? I should get the equipment from Intell.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Yes, let's meet there.

XO Commander Durron says:
CEO/CSO: Not in the hall.  Inside.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Actually, the CNS is the one needing one.  But I'll what I can do.
XO: Commander, excuse me...  ::Leaves the XO's quarters::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Walks into the XO's room::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: All right. And, Captain? Thank you, again. ::takes his leave and gets his things from his suite, heading for the XO's room::

XO Commander Durron says:
::closes the door::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: After 5 minutes of work the CNS' wound heals completely leaving no scar

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Goes to XO's room::

XO Commander Durron says:
::stays at the door::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::sees the CO:: CO: Good morning, Captain.  ::continues to walk to the CNS's room::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::taps the XO's door chime::

XO Commander Durron says:
::opens the door and motions the CO and FCO in, closes the door after them watching the hall all the time::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
Self: Much better I would say :: gets in some different clothing, now looking again like a bodyguard::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I need some weapons I could sell at the convention.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::opens the CNS's door:: CNS: Getting all prepped up, are you?  I'm afraid the CEO doesn't have a skin regenerator with him...

XO Commander Durron says:
CO: We can sell the disruptors, I don't like laving us that lightly armed though.  We can not, on the other hand, sell the rifles.  They are far to distinctive.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Do we have any spare disruptors?

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::moves to the replicator and makes himself a new tunic, putting it on and refixing the facemask to fit into his bodyguard role::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CEO finishes constructing the jammers from the parts he collected from the listening devices

CEO Ensign Conor says:
All: Who needs a jammer?

XO Commander Durron says:
CO: We have one disruptor per person, and we have two of the rifles, however we don't want to carry the rifles in the open.  They stand out like a horse at a cow convention.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Yes, I understand. Do we have any other weaponry that we could sell?

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
XO: What if we covered or removed the Tal Shiar insignia?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: That has been taken care of my dear friend ::standing with his back towards the CSO:: I'm well now and all new ::turns around::

XO Commander Durron says:
CO: No sir.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Hm, I guess then I will have to improvise.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Hands out jammers to those who needs them::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Like just take orders and promise to deliver later.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'm very glad to hear that.  I see you found a tissue regenerator.  Great!  In that case I think we can attend the CO's meeting at the XO's quarters.

XO Commander Durron says:
CO: That probably won't go over to well.  Folks will want pay COD, or not be interested.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Indeed, lead the way Rie, lead the way...

XO Commander Durron says:
::pulls the nine thousand credits from his boot and hands it to the CO:: CO:

XO Commander Durron says:
CO: This should get you something though.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::smiles and walks off the CNS's room towards the XO's::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::follows the CSO out::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Thanks.

XO Commander Durron says:
CO; On the other hand we may want to get someone entered in a bit of gambling.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Did you get any interesting IDs?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::makes the XO's door chime::

XO Commander Durron says:
::swears and goes to the door::

XO Commander Durron says:
Door: Who?

XO Commander Durron says:
::is still holding his disruptor up::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
XO: Z'heta and Jordaïn reporting in, Sir.

XO Commander Durron says:
::swears and opens the door pulls the CSO and CNS in than closes the door::

XO Commander Durron says:
CSO: DO NOT USE NAMES.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Easy on the shoulder would you sir. It is new ::smiles a bit to loosen up the tension hanging in this room::

XO Commander Durron says:
CNS: sorry.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
XO: Oh, right.  Nevertheless I think we have debugged the rooms and there are jammers here.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
CSO Commander Z’heta: Plenty of them ::Holds them up::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Do not worry sir. It has been healed.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Great. Do you have one for me?

XO Commander Durron says:
ALL: the hall is a public  place.  Anyone could be out there.  No names, no sir, no rank.  Just use pronouns.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: Or comedy aliases

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::smiles at the CEO's remark::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Gives a jammer to the CSO::

XO Commander Durron says:
CEO: That will work but use Romulan comedy.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
Self: I do admire my own work ::Looks at jammers in awe::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: thanks. Give one to him too, please.  ::points to the CNS::

XO Commander Durron says:
::may in fact be stressing out::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: We will split to two teams. The first team, lead by me, will go to the conference posing as arms dealers. FCO, CSO and CNS will come with me.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: You have never seen romulan comedy bars have you?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The rain continues to tap lightly against the glass as evening sets in, the "sun" begins to set, casting the city with rose coloured fingertips

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The second team, lead by the XO, will work in the background.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Hands jammer out to the CNS::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::takes the jammer form the CEO:: CEO: Thanks

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: CEO and CTO will go with the XO.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::verifies that his own jammer is on and pockets it::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
All: I guess we better be moving

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
CO: Sir, I managed to locate the Senator's suite, but Nightshade doesn't seem to have checked in yet.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Interesting. The second team will have to work on that.

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::hands the XO his padd marking the Senator's suite::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Takes rifle out and half disassembles it::

XO Commander Durron says:
::takes the pad from the FCO and glances over it:: FCO: thanks.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Puts rifle in case::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
XO: I wasn't able to locate the Senator himself, unfortunately... but the last time I checked, someone was there.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Any questions?

XO Commander Durron says:
FCO: that is good.  We may...drop in on him

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::starts taking care of is gear, packing up the riffle, checking the jammer, and setting the comm to auricular mode only::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::activates the autotranslator in his facemask and begins speaking in fluent Romulan::

XO Commander Durron says:
::packs up his disruptor rifle and tosses it to the CEO:: CEO: Catch.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Catches the rifle::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Then let's go.

XO Commander Durron says:
CEO: Hold on to that.  We may need it later.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: This will be my second rifle

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::quick-draws his disruptors a couple of times to get back into practice then moves toward the door::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::puts on the mask and a small klingon knife in his pocket::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Everyone remember to carry a valid ID.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: right.  Checks his own ID

XO Commander Durron says:
::walks over to the replicator and quickly replicates a helmet with a mask and visor.::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Changes photo on "borrowed" ID::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Walks away from XO's room::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::puts the hood of his clothes over his head and follows the CO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
::follows close behind the CO::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks side by side with the CNS::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
Team: We should enter the conference and start looking around.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CO::

XO Commander Durron says:
::replicates a set of dark cloths and quickly changes than turns to the CEO:: CEO: Lets go.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
::Follows the XO::

XO Commander Durron says:
::stops, turns, replicates two knives, one large and one small.  Puts the small one in his boot and the other on his belt::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: I think that we are going to have some fun soon :: blinks an eye at the CSO::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
XO: Disrupter not enough?

XO Commander Durron says:
CEO: No.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@FCO: Do you happen to know where the conference room is?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: I'm counting on it ::winks back::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO's team emerges from the turbo lift and arrives at the convention hall.  The hall is a large open convention centre with tables full of weapons and dealers, both legal and illegal.  The next auction is on "rail guns"

XO Commander Durron says:
$::walks from his room, than locks the door::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$::Behind XO::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@ CSO: This looks great no?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@CNS: Oh yeah, it sure does.  ::looks around::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CO's team quickly finds Merchant Avarice's table which is stocked with various kinds of weapons

XO Commander Durron says:
$::walks slowly down the hall, remembering the room number of the senator's room.::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: Excellent, excellent.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: What are we planning to do to the senator?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::looks at the klingons and feels disgusted, but tries not to let it be noticed by others::

XO Commander Durron says:
$::smiles and looks at the CEO:: CEO: nothing...nothing, at all.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::moves towards the table::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$::Glances at the XO::

XO Commander Durron says:
$::walks to the turbolift::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
@::whispers:: CO: It looks like finding Nightshade could be a bit of a trick with this many Gorn here...

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: How do we plan on getting past security?

XO Commander Durron says:
$::mutters something and looks around::

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO: Where there is a will.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@FCO: It won't be easy just by looking at their race.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$::Takes subspace shunt out of pocket:: $XO: Try this.

XO Commander Durron says:
$::tells the turbolift to go to the main convention hall::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
@CO: We don't know anything about him, do we?

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO: to obvious.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::looks around studying every person in detail::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: Stairs?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@FCO: Correct. We are the ones who are supposed to get the knowledge about him and his business.

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO: would also be locked.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::Keeps close to the CO, as a good bodyguard would, and keeps eyeing all around::

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO: what we need is a key.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: Wouldn't the FCO have one from poking around?

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Convention Hall> Scene: There are formal, Romulan uniformed security keeping the peace and wandering around the floor, the room is monitored by cameras which report to a central security room

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO : he may have one but I don't think we should be seen with the other group just yet.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::stands behind the CO and behind the CSO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
@::finds himself feeling out of place again, wondering how exactly they'll track down Nightshade::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: We better get moving, we look a bit out of place

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: Everyone look around and learn details of this environment.

XO Commander Durron says:
$CEO: this room will be filled with keys.  We just need to find the correct one.

XO Commander Durron says:
$::slowly walks into the crowd mingling and watching for patterns, especially large groups of people working together::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
$XO: What room?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: Yes my lord ::makes a bow::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@CO: I'll focus on the North side...
