[21:03:17] <SM_James> Summary: Investigations a-plenty, both on and off Claymore, and with varying degrees of success. Meanwhile, the players continue to change positions, and governor Cedrick makes a--Perhaps timely?--statement in answer to the developing crisis. There may be a few more answers, but who's asking the questions?

[21:03:17] <SM_James> Star Trek: A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Claymore in: "Mending Fences"

[21:03:17] <SM_James> Episode 30: "A Thread Unravelled" (12211.12)

[21:04:09] <SM_James> =/\= BEGIN MISSION =/\=

[21:05:17] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::playing Cedrick's message, which, for some, showed up at the last minute on his tricorder::

[21:05:50] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::at the bridge operations station monitoring various ongoing projects::

[21:06:49] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::All but the worst cases in sickbay having been cleared out, Evie placed her hands in the small of her back and stretched it out as best as she could.  The nurses and physician's assistants were monitoring those who still needed it, and she - other than desperately needing a backrub, decided she needed some quiet too.::

[21:07:19] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: In the one of the many labs, looking over Sakar's shoulder as he pieced together the information they had scanned.  On the other side Lu was working on figuring out all he could about the explosives with Roberts staring over his shoulder in fascination.::

[21:07:20] <SM_James> Scene: The media has already begun processing Cedrick's statement this way and that. And openly speculating as to how long, and not if, it would take for the military to agree.

[21:07:35] <MOPS_LtJG_Gulash> ::still monitoring the away team; in addition, he's trying to file and organize any investigative threads that come through the comms from the away team::

[21:08:19] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens washed her hands and looked out at the beds that were starting to empty:: Tac_Begay: Things are starting to slow enough that I might go check in with the Commander

[21:10:40] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> *XO/CTO* I'm ready to present my findings. Perhaps we should meet with the Colonel and discuss.

[21:10:45] <SO Ensign Sakar> :: not the first time he had Rainna staring over his shoulder, he had become rather used to it... even expected when she was in the lab.::  CTO:  Your people did good work.  But it still will take time to put all the pieces together for a hologram.

[21:11:04] <SM_James> ACTION: Scans of the planet pick up several small protests breaking out in various regions. As of this second, no weapons fire.

[21:11:08] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Checking in with the head nurse, and letting her know that she was going to her 'office'.::

[21:11:08] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> *FCO*: Where are now? I'll meet you.

[21:11:40] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> *XO* Just finished up at assembly hall security.

[21:12:01] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Looks over at Lu, taking in the setting:: *FCO/XO*:  We are almost finished on our end.  We have what we need for the explosive, but the holo is not yet ready.

[21:12:05] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::nods, to himself::  *FCO*: On my way.

[21:12:41] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> @*CTO/XO* Understood.

[21:14:05] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Looks over at Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu::  Lu:  I need your report.

[21:14:23] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Taps her comm badge:: *XO*: Raeyld to Commander Davis.

[21:14:31] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: lightly taps Sakar on the shoulder::  SO Sakar:  Let me know when you are done.

[21:15:44] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns, seeing Stevens in the distance, but before he thinks more of it he hears Raeyld--which causes a brief but not-quite-paralyzing tightness in his chest::  *CIV*: Go ahead, Commander.

[21:15:47] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Walks into her office and even before she grabs her tea, she slumps down into one of her comfy chairs.::

[21:16:19] <Tac PO2 Toltecatl Atzin>  :: On the bridge, wondering if this shift will ever end... or the fighting::  OPS:  There is more fighting breaking out, but it seems contained... no weapon fire... yet.

[21:16:33] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens stops an appropriate distance away as she watches Davis tap his chest and start talking::

[21:17:21] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *XO*: I wanted to alert you to a report I'm uploading for Captain Damrok, Lieutenant Tsela-Yokaze, and the members of the away team. In my examinations of the Arealyn general sent here to treatment, I found samples of an unknown compound with highly reactive properties.

[21:17:29] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Exiting the lab, she makes her way to the nearest lift.::

[21:17:57] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *XO*: In short, there's significant non-zero likelihood it was part of the explosives.

[21:17:59] <CO_Capt_Damrok> ::Standing at his usual spot inside the command pit on the bridge, though he paces in and out of it now and again as he checks in with others on the bridge watch::

[21:18:07] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::nods to the tactical officer and updates the log to reflect it::

[21:18:52] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Grabs the blanket that she keeps over the back of her chair and drapes it across her shoulders.::

[21:18:54] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::Frowns::  *CIV*: So, this is something found on the general? A product of the explosion itself?

[21:20:29] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Taps through her PADD as she crosses a few digital t's on her report:: *XO*: I believe an excess reagent, rather than a product. I don't mean to imply the general was a source...most likely if she was near enough to the actual source, some of the excess was implanted on her body as she was hit with debris.

[21:21:33] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Wonders if she should get her tea before she snuggles down in the chair.....groans in frustration and gets out of her chair and heads to the replicator - because T’alin has not yet replaced her tea and lemon.:: Replicator: English breakfast tea with one lemon wedge and honey.

[21:21:39] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Arriving in the transporter room, gives the coordinates of the FCO and waits the few seconds to beam down to the planet.::

[21:21:58] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *XO*: I'm including the molecular formula of the compound; it may be helpful to scan specifically for this substance as part of the investigation. I'm also including several profiles of substances that might most likely best react with the compound to create explosions. They're not specific substances...just "chemical families."

[21:22:53] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::begins moving towards the Assembly Hall::  *CIV*: Understood. I'm on my way to meet T'alin--I'll see if he's found anything like this, and we'll look if a search for them hasn't been conducted.

[21:23:18] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: as the beam released her she turned to look at T’alin::

[21:24:17] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> FCO:  We are still working on the holo representation, but we have what we is possible on the explosive..

[21:24:25] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::arrives in the Assembly Hall, looking around for any Starfleet or Romulan uniforms::

[21:26:04] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> CTO: Understood.  :: points to the screen in the room, and brings up several feeds ::

[21:26:15] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::As her tea materializes, she wraps her hands around the nicely warm mug and gently sits down in the chair again.  Sets her mug down on the little table between the two chairs and squeezes the lemon into it.  Picks up her spoon that she keeps in a empty mug on the table and stirs the tea before setting the spoon back down.::

[21:26:22] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::rounds one corner and pokes his head into the office, which happens to be the security office, and sees T'alin; he enters::

[21:26:44] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: looks over at Davis before turning back to the screen::

[21:27:46] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Follows Davis into the assembly hall:: XO: Sorry to interrupt. Just wanted to report in. Triage is slowing down but there are still wounded coming in. Would you like me there still?

[21:27:51] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::immediately sees Tsela-Yokaze as well, but attempts to refrain from nodding::

[21:28:19] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> XO: Great.  Commander ::nods and begins pointing to the feeds :: XO: As you can see :: several boxes highlight members faces ::  ALL: You can see several members are associated with many ::cough:: ALL: Interesting groups. :: T'alin tags them with known associated names ::  

[21:28:46] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns, surprised, but immediately recognizes Stevens::  CMO: If you have the time, listen in here for a few minutes. I think we have several pieces we might want to share, and we might be able to draw on your expertise.

[21:28:50] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Grabs the blanket again, sets her feet up on the stool and drapes the blanket over herself and picks her tea back up, enjoying the warm and slightly sweet liquid.::

[21:29:00] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Looks over at the doctor.  She looked a bit pale.  Maybe they all did.::

[21:29:32] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ::The screen zooms in on one in particular :: ALL: this guy as with most mobs... seems to be the primary agitator.  I'd like to focus more on him as I still need some missing blocks of information there.

[21:29:43] @< Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay> :: following close to the doctor, slips in with the others::

[21:30:15] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> FCO:  Do we know who he is?

[21:31:08] <SM_James> ACTION: A media headline: "General Celara Reported Dead by Terrorist Hands"

[21:31:09] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> CTO: We have archived footage of him during civil war days.. but I don't have a name yet.

[21:31:14] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens nods and salutes:: XO: Aye-aye, sir. I'll standby here for the time being

[21:31:36] <Xi'Bray> ::Enters the bridge and heads over to the engineering console to check on the status of a secondary propulsion system which had been showing as down on a secondary engineering console.::

[21:31:39] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> :: Screen cuts to broadcast that aired right after the event with an interviewee that is spinning false narrative :: ALL: However, I do have a bead on this guy.  Kyrin Velde.

[21:32:17] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> FCO: Who is that?

[21:32:34] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ALL: Funny enough, his latest employ... is... wait for... it.  Yes, you guessed it.  Our favorite Governor.  Cedrick.

[21:33:12] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::now he does nod, not surprised by this development at all::

[21:33:12] <Xi'bray> ::Notices a discrepancy between what was showing on secondary systems panel and what's showing on the bridge and begins running a level 3 diagnostic to see if she can find the issue.::

[21:33:25] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ALL: Oddly correlation is previous to that he was a Commander under Celara, but allegiances do seem to be shifting.

[21:34:14] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Finally hits send on her report, copying Damrok, Tsela-Yokaze, T’alin, Stevens, Davis, and a few others, then stands and exits the sickbay break room::

[21:34:28] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Aka, her unofficial medical office, apparently::

[21:34:31] <CO_Capt_Damrok> ::Gets the ping on his PADD and proceeds to read Raeyld's update::

[21:34:40] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: raised a brow::  FCO:  There must be a reason.  What are those sins?  Money, Power, and Sex?  Is there another one?

[21:34:45] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens finds a nearby chair and gently sets herself down, listening to the reports and reading through everything she missed previously on her PADD::

[21:35:01] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ALL: Finally, and before I go to listen mode.  You may... see some 'anonymously' leaked footage... that was very carefully verified through cryptographic hashing to prove unfalsified... countering all his statements and accounts of the event.  Thought you should know about that before hand sir.  

[21:35:24] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> CTO: I was also wondering the same. That's a thread we should definitely pull on. 

[21:35:24] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: snaps her fingers and to no one in particular::  Revenge.

[21:35:36] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> Computer:  Play some instrumental music.  Soft music on half volume.  ::The computer puts on a string of soft instrumental music.  Evie closes her eyes and sips her tea as the soft melody helps her relax just a little.::

[21:35:39] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> FCO/CTO/CMO: So, we have this link to Cedrick through...Kyrin Velde, right? Another thread here we have is a substance Commander Raeyld found in Celara while she was treated aboard Claymore.  ::pauses, sending Raeyld's message on to T'alin, Tsela-Yokaze, and Stevens::  This seems like it must have come from the explosive compound or device.

[21:36:20] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> FCO/CTO/CMO: It'd be nice if we could link that substance to Kyrin Velde and Cedrick in some way.

[21:36:48] <Xi'Bray> ::Hums the last song she heard while she waits for the diagnostics to finish running.::

[21:37:11] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> XO:  The substance by the way, that was part of the exellerant(?) of the home made bomb.

[21:37:26] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ALL: Agreed.  Also... as soon as they recover there should be a media release to stabalize the government.  Cedrick is being VERY sloppy.

[21:38:02] <HLM3_Ens_Kothra> :: at the helm, doing helm things ::

[21:38:04] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: hands a copy of the Lu's report over to Davis::

[21:38:23] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Finds her eyes getting slightly heavy between the calming effect of the tea and the music.::

[21:38:42] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::takes the report and scans it::

[21:38:50] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Takes a bit of a deep breath, and approaches the MO's office (briefly wondering in which remodel they got an MO's office?) and presses the chime::

[21:39:34] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> All:  What we can tell so far about that, is it is easy to obtain and is only reactant in specific situations.  Basically, they had to be trying to make it explode.  It does not naturally appear to do that.  The substance is not something in our data base, but is found on this planet.

[21:40:14] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Her eyes fly open as she hears the chime.  Sets her tea down and tosses the blanket back over the back of her chair.  Grabbing her tea and moving to one of the consoles and switching it on.::

[21:41:00] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> XO: So, we should get with Col Rymelde, and pull on the Velde thread and pay a man a visit?

[21:41:01] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> Door: Enter.

[21:41:47] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> CTO: As soon as we get that holo reproduction :: sends all his video data to her:: CTO: we can combine all the events there and hopefully have final pieces falling into play.

[21:42:23] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::'Turns' around on the stool that she just sat down on, like she had been working there the whole time.::  CIV: Enter.

[21:42:37] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: looks down at her padd and nods, sending what he is giving her on to Sakar::

[21:42:38] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ALL: Also... :: jumps to main agitator :: We need to send an RFI (Request for information) on this guy.  I want to know where this guy is, and what his shtick is.

[21:43:03] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::folds his arms for a moment and thinks::  CTO/CMO: Go back to ground zero here and re-scan for this compound and make sure we are as sure as possible about what happened with the explosion, and Celera's position in the whole thing--maybe that's going to be a short review, but let's be sure. I'd also like to know where that compound is available here, but maybe that's chasing our tail.

[21:43:23] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns::  FCO: Yes, we should have that conversation right now.

[21:43:34] <Xi'Bray> ::Groans audibly as the diagnostic doesn't turn up any issues.::

[21:44:21] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Steps in through the opening doors:: ::Somewhat gently, tilting her head a bit:: MO: Doctor Simmons...do you have a moment?

[21:44:45] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: nods::  XO:  I will have a couple of my people look through the data base of this planet for the chemical formula of the substance.

[21:45:39] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Picking her tea back up.:: CIV: Of course, Commander.  Would you like to take a seat?  ::Motions to the table in the room.::

[21:45:42] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> CTO/CMO: I don't imagine there's any forensic evidence there that we haven't covered, but it might be worth another once-over.

[21:45:53] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  ::looks at the response from Sakar::  FCO/XO:  It will take about another 8 hours to piece everything together for this holo.

[21:46:08] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ::nods::  

[21:46:28] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns to T'alin::  FCO: Let's find Colonel Rymelde.

[21:47:06] @<SM_James> ACTION: It actually doesn't take too much effort. The colonel finds you.

[21:48:14] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> @ :: looks at the doctor and Begay.:: Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay:  I will see to the doctor.  Gather Amara and see if the two of you can trace down the substance.  :: hands him the padd Davis gave back to her.::

[21:48:42] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::strides into the security office, pausing just inside the door and offering each in turn a brief look:: XO/All: I was hoping you might still be here.

[21:48:50] @<Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay>  :: nods and heads out to find Amara::

[21:50:04] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  < Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay>  :: stops as the Colonel is blocking the doorway::

[21:50:05] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::grabs her medical bag from the back of her chair and stands:: CTO: Following you

[21:50:37] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> Colonel Rymelde: We have a few pieces we're putting together here, and we were just about to find you.

[21:50:41] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Nods gratefully and settled into the chair:: MO: How are you doing?

[21:51:27] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::steps to one side to allow passage:: XO: Ah, then it's fortunate timing. We've already made a few arrests as a result of our own investigation.

[21:51:39] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: Nods to the doctor as they wait for what the Colonel had to say.::

[21:52:01] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> < Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay> :: nods his thank as he heads out::

[21:52:13] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Standing there a little uncertainly.:: CIV: I'm . . . okay.  Any particular reason why?

[21:52:34] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> Colonel Rymelde/FCO: Has your investigation linked back to Governor Cedrick or his associates at all?

[21:53:19] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: motions with her head to the CMO to head out.  If it was important enough, Davis would let them know.::

[21:53:29] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ::follows the Commander's lead here ::

[21:53:30] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Just glances up, slightly confused and not really hiding it:: MO: You seemed rather distressed not long ago.

[21:54:40] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>   :: A short distance from the room::  CMO:  I will be glad when all of this is over with.  War is not something I can say I have studied much.  The history of it, for the most part, yes, but not the bits and pieces of it.

[21:55:46] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Takes a sip of her tea before making eye contact again.:: CIV: If you're referring to asking you to do Celera's surgery, Surgery isn't quite what I'd call my forte.

[21:55:52] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens follows behind Tsela-Yokaze:: CTO: Sadly, all of this is rather familiar to me. Seems like war never changes.

[21:56:51] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::blinks, a few times:: XO: We have our suspicions, of course. Some of the governor's associates have never really let go of the old way. But suspicion is a dangerous thing to make an arrest on. The governor has supporters in... we'll say... influential positions. I'm a soldier, not a politician, but I would imagine the right call to the right person at the right time could have…unfortunate results if that suspicion is even remotely misplaced.

[21:57:24] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::nods::  Colonel Rymelde: With that in mind, we're wondering if it might be possible to draw these people out.

[21:57:50] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> Colonel Rymelde: The news reports indicate General Celera is dead, which is not the case. What if we tried to set the record straight?

[21:58:22] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> MO: Oh...no. That's understandable, and I appreciated the opportunity to be useful. I meant before, when... ::Trails off; she'd been distracted with other command issues and hadn't caught up on the events that intervened between Simmons tied down screaming in a biobed and her now once more running sickbay::

[21:58:23] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ::hands his pad with Vylde and the "Agitator" over to the Colonel as the commadner continues talking ::

[21:58:33] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: as they make their way to the origin of the explosion::  CMO:  That is a lesson, I could live without experiencing.  :: quietly sighs::

[21:58:45] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Not an unheard of transition aboard Claymore, but one that she felt warranted in checking in on the people effected, at least::

[22:00:26] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> CTO: I'm sure you've already read it in my file, but, just as a reminder, if things so sideways, I can use a firearm. And I do have training in hand-to-hand combat. Here's hoping that isn't asked for anytime soon though

[22:01:04] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Her eyes registering what Raeyld was referring to.::  CIV: Well, I know T’alin won't mind me telling you this, but I thought I heard a Breen disruptor fired aboard, and T’alin tried a mind meld to see if I had heard what I thought I did, and apparently, well, he's not very skilled in doing them yet and transferred his experiences on the Romulan ship to me - including what he felt and their effects....to say that it wasn't pleasant would be an understatement.

[22:01:51] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  ::nods::  CMO:  Let us hope not.  :: arrives at the location in question::  From reports and blast scaring, this is where it occurred.

[22:03:04] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::accepts the PADD, reads slowly, then looks up and at the officers:: XO/FCO: Mister Velde was highly respected during the war, and is today a well regarded businessman. I find it... difficult to believe, though I suppose anything's possible, that he'd be involved in something of this magnitude. By all accounts not being noticed was his forte.

[22:03:20] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::quietly hums at something on his screen then nods to himself::

[22:03:29] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens flips open her tricorder and sets it down in the middle of the scarring, letting it get a broad area scan:: CTO: Commander Raeyld's report should let me scan the whole area at once

[22:03:30] @<Colonel_Rymelde> XO: Now, this man... ::taps the agitator’s face a long, thoughtful moment::

[22:04:08] <Xi'Bray>  ::Reruns the diagnostic on the secondary propulsion system. . . she does NOT plan to go crawling around down there to manually find the problem if she can help it.::

[22:04:11] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> ::watches the video play out as the man incites the crowd in the image ::

[22:04:38] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> Colonel Rymelde/FCO: It's our contention that these people are somewhat careless in what they are doing right now. If we could get the right trigger out there in the news media, perhaps we could force a mistake that would offer more clear-cut evidence one way or the other.

[22:06:34] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Frowns empathetically:: MO: I can only imagine...

[22:06:43] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::draws in a breath:: XO/FCO: He's been arrested before. Several charges, largely minor offenses. Nyrl Venche, formerly of the 6th faction. He.... may still carry some heaviness from the war.

[22:07:40] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> Colonel Rymelde:  I find it interesting that the respected business man was peddling patently false information pre-prepared seemingly right after the incident however strong his reputation may be there's an angle there.. and his connections are hard to ignore.  That is great information on the agitator.  Would it be appropriate if we question him?

[22:08:16] @<Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay>  :: finding Amara, they pair make their way to what they hoped was a logical place, the market.::  Sec PO2 Amara Adebowale:  Phosphate, potassium... let's start in the farming supply area.  They should still be open.

[22:08:32] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::folds his arms behind his back and paces just a few steps before looking back::  Colonel Rymelde: What if we were to put out there that Celera is alive, and there is evidence linking Nyrl Venche and Velde to the bombing--that he was wanted for questioning, at least?

[22:08:41] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> CIV: Dr. Stevens gave me a medicine that kept me from feeling it's effects quite so badly and I was taken off duty for about a day, but I'm doing better now.

[22:10:10] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> CMO:  It will be dark soon, here.  My team also did an earlier scan to incorporate into the holo program.

[22:11:14] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> CTO: We can go soon. The scan should be finished shortly. ::She looks around at the shadows creeping along the ground::

[22:12:03] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::considers this for a long moment:: XO: Velde can afford the type of lawyer I only hope to read about in a good book, commander. Venche... ::shrugs up one shoulder:: We may put out a warrant on his arrest. It wouldn't be his first. If bringing him in, however, you will undoubtedly require force. A man like him is good to have as an ally when your neighbor could decide to switch sides. Now that such alliances are falling out of favor, he may be... lost.

[22:13:50] @<CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens picks up her tricorder after it beeps:: CTO: We can go now. The results will be compiled later.

[22:14:13] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> Colonel: if though in at first... we don't intend to catch him.. but surveille and see where he goes, whom he talks with, where he ends up?

[22:14:42] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks at T'alin, then back to Rymelde::

[22:15:38] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> MO: It's good to hear you're improved. ::Smiles a bit:: Would you feel up to helping me with the general's skin grafts? She had some rather extensive burns. The grafts should be generated shortly and ready to be applied.

[22:15:50] <Xi'Bray> ::Sees the diagnostic come out again with discrepant material.  Double fist pounds on the console, and all of a sudden the correct material is displayed.::

[22:15:51] @<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: nods::  *Transporter Room*:  Two to beam up.

[22:16:31] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> CIV: Of course.  I'm happy to help with them.

[22:17:27] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::thinks for a moment, then nods:: XO/FCO: Surveillance may indeed be best. A caution on mister Velde, should you also intend to do same with him. He can be... resourceful if he needs to be. You don't become as well-known during the war as he has and stay alive otherwise.

[22:18:25] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: as the Beam releases them:: CMO:  We can drop that off at the lab.  Then I think we both can use a break.

[22:18:44] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> MO: I'd appreciate it. ::Pauses, hesitating a moment:: ...regarding surgery...is that an area of expertise you might be interested in pursuing sometime?

[22:18:53] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::nods:: Colonel Rymelde: We appreciate resourceful, Colonel. And I think we have a person or two who prides themselves on being resourceful, too.

[22:19:12] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens nods emphatically:: CTO: That sounds....amazing

[22:21:58] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> CIV: Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt since I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.  I was hoping that between you and Dr. Stevens aboard, I would never have to do any, but we're seeing that that isn't the way that it works. Is it?  ::half grins.::

[22:22:01] @<Colonel_Rymelde> XO: If your suspicion is correct, and they still hold values of the old way, take care, commander. Were general Celara having this conversation with you, she would no doubt have many a story to tell. The moral of those stories is really quite simple. In the old way, there are no rules. A man is his accomplishments, for when he is dead, that is all the memory.

[22:22:58] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> Colonel Rymelde/FCO: I understand.

[22:23:04] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Smiles a bit in return:: MO: Well, if you're ever interested...I'd be glad to help. I've provided surgical training for our medical team in the past. It's just...my style is rather...intense, at times.

[22:23:32] @<XO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns to T'alin::  FCO: Think we can come up with an approach?

[22:23:44] @<Sec PO2 Amara Adebowale> :: sniffs:: Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay: That direction...

[22:23:50] <MO_LtJg_Simmons> CIV: Thanks.  If we can find some time, I will probably take you up on it.

[22:24:25] @<FCO_SubLT_T’alin> :: nods ::

[22:24:27] @<Colonel_Rymelde> ::just shakes his head:: XO: Commander, I lived through it and there are times I do not understand. But I appreciate the thought. If my people can do anything, we are at your disposal.

[22:25:04] <CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld> MO: Just let me know when you'd be available.
