Mission Summary:  10502.14

Host Susan says:
The crew was briefed on the away mission into Cardassian territory.  After the debriefing, the shuttle was readied as was the crew as they underwent procedures to alter their appearance, giving them all Cardassian features.

XO Martin says:
::sitting, somewhat relaxed, on the bridge, feeling the excitement in the air::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  OPS reports an incoming message, coded on a priority channel.

CIV Bodine says:
::enters the bridge::

CTO Mahl says:
::After deciding on what weapons he will carry, reports to the bridge to join CIV Bodine::

XO Martin says:
::stands and looks at OPS, then goes over to an unoccupied console:: OPS: Put it through over here.

CIV Bodine says:
XO: No run in’s with any other ships or anything? Almost seems too easy doesn’t it....

Host Susan says:
<OPS> XO: Yes, Ma'am.

XO Martin says:
::nods at CIV:: Yea...there was one, but they didn't do more than escort us for a bit. No hails, nothing..

CMO Burton says:
::Waits as the final touches of a Cardassian face in placed on him::

Host OPS Marvale says:
::routes the message to the XO's station::

XO Martin says:
::reads over the encoded message and raises an eyebrow:: self: oh really...I see

XO Martin says:
CIV: You're going to be going down via shuttle, not via transporters. ::points at the message::

CIV Bodine says:
Self: wonder who we could be getting an incoming hail from, ::looks intently at the operations crewman then to Commander Martin::

CIV Bodine says:
XO: And the money with us?? Or can we beam that down. Who is that message from Ma'am?

Host OPS Marvale says:
::monitors comm for anything from the surface::

XO Martin says:
::looks at OPS, hoping they can answer CIV's question::

Host OPS Marvale says:
CIV: It's coded priority and relayed from SFI

XO Martin says:
::shrugs at CIV:: CIV: You can read it for yourself, if you wish ::steps aside for him to see::

Host OPS Marvale says:
CIV: No mention of the money.

CIV Bodine says:
OPS: If you please, verify the message is not fake use the operation codes for this mission. In the mean time let's prepare a shuttle.

Host OPS Marvale says:
CIV: Yes, sir.

Host OPS Marvale says:
::hands work their way across the comm=board as he works to authenticate the message::

CIV Bodine says:
XO: I think we should leave the Latinum here, and only take a very small taste of it to the rendezvous. If we look to eager it could be bad.

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: I've chosen our weapons.  Would you like to ok them, or do you trust my judgment?

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CIV: Makes sense.

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: I'm sure it is good, thank you for taking care of it.

CMO Burton says:
::Exits sickbay to join the rest of the crew::

Host OPS Marvale says:
XO/CIV: The message checks out...using the proper codes, it checks to have been routed through Admiral Hamilton back at the station.

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: Do you know the layout of the meeting place?

XO Martin says:
::nods:: OPS: Thank you.

CIV Bodine says:
OPS: Understood., XO: ETA to our destination?

XO Martin says:
::looks down at the console and checks:: CIV: 40 minutes

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Please ma'am

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Thanks

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CIV: Of course...::moves away from the console, and back to the command seat, glancing at the control panel in the arm::

CMO Burton says:
::Enters the bridge::

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: I have not been here before. I am told that we are to meet the buyer in a club, after I show the bar-keep, a thing, it’s a place called Kritzo in the town of Shu'lem on the Southern continent.

Host OPS Marvale says:
::looks up at the sound of the lift doors opening::

Host OPS Marvale says:
CMO: Good to see you again, Sir.

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: A thing?  

CMO Burton says:
OPS: You as well. How’s the trip going so far?

Host OPS Marvale says:
CMO: As expected so far...nice and quiet

CMO Burton says:
OPS: Well, I guess that is a good thing.

CIV Bodine says:
::pulls out a small statue no bigger then a tree ornament. It's a Cardassian Hero of some sort a crusader::

XO Martin says:
::taps her fingers on the arm rest lightly, a song running through her head, though she is curious to know why exactly they changed the plans from transporting the team down, to sending them in a shuttle craft::

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Something looks like it's on your mind sir?

CTO Mahl says:
::Looks at the small statuette, then at the CIV:: CIV: Is that the thing?

XO Martin says:
::looks up:: CIV: Hmm? Oh, sort of, I suppose. Just curious to know why they changed the plans on such short notice...

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: Well, yea ... it has sentimental value to this "Conductor's" cause. Probably thinks he is on a crusade. ::shrugs::

CMO Burton says:
XO: Change of plans? What change of plans sir?

Host OPS Marvale says:
CMO: In Cardassian territory, it could be a great thing.

XO Martin says:
CMO: Oh, the away team is going down via shuttle craft instead of transporters, that’s all.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: Well, this IS star Fleet, the brass probably doesn't want anyone getting too relaxed with what they are doing.  So, they change things all the time.

XO Martin says:
CMO/CIV: And...Please, ma'am, not sir. Feels weird getting called 'sir'.

Host OPS Marvale says:
::looks up from his scans:: XO: We've reached our holding position.  Should I have a pilot meet the team in the shuttle bay or is the away team staying the same?

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Me too, Commander, but I don't see what we can do about it. I'm open to suggestions as to how we can turn the change to our safety a little more, but as we don't know what to expect...

XO Martin says:
::chuckles lightly at the CTO's comments:: CTO: So true, so very true.

CMO Burton says:
XO: Yes si.... Ma'am.

XO Martin says:
::glances at CIV:: CIV: Are you needing a pilot now? Or shall the team stay the same?

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: Exactly how are we supposed to hide the fact that we are in Star Fleet, while shuttling down in a star fleet shuttle?

XO Martin says:
CTO: We're on a Cardassian freighter, remember? Thus, we have Cardassian shuttles to go with it, or at least, I assume so.

Host OPS Marvale says:
CTO: Lieutenant, we have no Federation assets on board, it's a small Cardassian shuttle.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: Oh gees, I don't know where my mind is.  I actually forgot that this bucket of rust was Cardassian.

CIV Bodine says:
CO: The captain told me he had other team plans, I was only expected with one body guard, and honestly I'm an accomplished pilot so, it does not seem that will be needed, Ma'am

Host OPS Marvale says:
::chuckles:: Self: Must be too similar to a Klingon ship.

XO Martin says:
::raises eyebrows and looks around:: CTO: If you say so ::grins wryly, and looks back at CIV:: CIV: Alright then, the shuttle should be ready to go then, feel free to leave whenever it suits you.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: I guess my mind is on this mission, and making sure nobody gets hurt, at least from our side.

XO Martin says:
::stands and nods at the CTO:: CTO: Of course, and your mind is right where is should be. CTO/CIV: Both of you, good luck, and come back safely.

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Will do, when we get down to the shuttle we will test our subspace transceivers that the Doctor's installed, before we leave.

XO Martin says:
CIV: Of course.

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: Shall we go? ::walks towards the turbolift::

CTO Mahl says:
::Follows behind the CIV::

CTO Mahl says:
::Looks back at the XO:: XO: That's the only way I intend to come back, Ma'am.

CMO Burton says:
::Prepares his equipment for the transceiver check::

XO Martin says:
::looks at OPS:: OPS: When they get to the planet, make sure to keep an eye on them, I want to be able to transport them out in case of any trouble. ::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Ready to go, Doc?

CMO Burton says:
XO: Ready Ma'am..

CIV Bodine says:
::after they step inside the lift:: CTO: This bucket had a brig right? ::pauses:: That Locks?

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CMO: Good. Once the subspace transceiver has been tested, all we can do, is sit back and cross our fingers for luck.

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: If not, I will use a phaser to weld a door shut.

Host OPS Marvale says:
ACTION: A fire breaks out in the shuttle bay.

CIV Bodine says:
::laughs:: CTO: Nice ...

Host OPS Marvale says:
ACTION: An alarm sounds as automatic bulkheads lock into place, locking all personnel out of the shuttle area.

XO Martin says:
::hears an alarm going off from one of the consoles:: OPS: What’s happening?

CIV Bodine says:
::the turbolift stops on the flight operations deck above the bay::

CIV Bodine says:
::exits the lift and tries to gain access to the bay::

CIV Bodine says:
::hits the button again but the door just squawks::

Host OPS Marvale says:
XO: There is a fire in the shuttle bay, suppression systems are working, but there won't be a launch for a few hours.

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: It won’t open....

CTO Mahl says:
*XO* Ma'am, we can’t gain access to the shuttle bay.  Is there a problem?

CMO Burton says:
OPS: Everyone ok down there?

Host OPS Marvale says:
CMO: No reports of injuries

XO Martin says:
::frowns:: OPS: Do you know how it started?

XO Martin says:
*CTO* A fire has broken out in the shuttle bay, you won't be able to leave for a few more hours if you go via shuttle, I'm afraid to say.

Host OPS Marvale says:
XO: Not off hand, but it appears to be a mechanical error.

CTO Mahl says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CIV: Well, now what?

CIV Bodine says:
Self: I can't believe I'm going to say this...

XO Martin says:
::nods at OPS:: OPS: Right, I want to know exactly what happened as soon as possible, so it can be avoided in the future.

CIV Bodine says:
*OPS*: Is the shuttle okay, any latinum on the ship BEAM it out please.

Host OPS Marvale says:
*CIV* The shuttle is out of use, all latinum is secure.

Host OPS Marvale says:
XO: I guess this means we're back to plan ‘A’ in spite of orders.

XO Martin says:
::nods:: OPS: So it would seem.
