Last time on the Seleya:

The day had started basically as any other day as everyone prepared and headed off for work.  The CTO with his team prepared the napalm from the ingredients Maor managed to get for them as well as make his last check of the location and the plans for where everything needed to be placed given the lay of the land.  Later, after a meal that continued their outward show to the military that they were a 'couple' which seemed to work as no one had been following them for the past few days, they went out to the site to do the final set up of bombs, warning system and the holounit the CEO had built.

The CEO and SO headed for the palace to set up the bombs.  While they were able to set one, to solve the mystery of an additional wall Rose scanned it to discover it was an observation room where others watched the entire room.  Caught doing so, guards poured out and held the two, questioning them.  Rose hit the destruct button the CEO had added to her padd as well as dropping it so it would shatter, hiding the alien tricorder.  After some hopefully convincing acting, the pair were released without further investigation.  They were escorted off the site with their work only half done, but at least the one bomb was set and they knew of the observation room.  Due to two incidents now with the military, the SO stays low under the radar.

The TO met with Lah'so at the temple that serves the outcasts and troubled of the T'naehmshaile.  There he discovered a meeting had been set up with Sahrafel, one of the leaders of expansionist group.  Privately they discussed the plans for the diversions planned during the celebration.  The TO was also questioned further to discover more about him, apparently Umsfek had run into the teams security set up and failed to learn too much more about him.  The final task was set for TO to set a bomb outside in a vehicle in the garden.  To that aim, he was given permits to work in the garden after 

The CO, XO and the ambassador discussed the connection the ambassador had inadvertently made with the Khau's grandniece, E'tum who has a crush on the ambassador.  During the week the ambassador has cultivated this 'friendship' while the CO continues strengthening her connections among the religious caste and the XO continues searching answers to what is being planned by the expansionists.  He also continues helping out the different groups prepare for the arrival of the Udundians via making sure they had what they needed and his experience, and even more important, keeping the team and home 'hidden'.

The FCO and OPS have done their part by supporting each team and acquiring the supplies needed among all the other little things that seem unimportant but are necessary for such an operation as this to succeed.

The day of the Khau's 100th birthday celebration has arrived.  It is planned to begin as the sunsets.  It is now early morning of the last day and once again, those who have had 'steady' jobs have called in ill as they prepare for what they hope is their last day on this world.  The crew gathers for their last meeting...

Captain's log, Stardate 11103.06. The stranded crew of the Seleya is about to have their last meeting before attempting to restore the time line. We are as ready as we can be but I calculate the chances of success at 20% (a number I did not share with anyone). We will do what we have to do and hope for the best.

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Smells the breakfast cooking upstairs::  Security Team:  Go grab some grub, you need your full strength for today, it may be a long one.  We'll probably get underway shortly after this meeting.  ::Leads the others out of the basement.::
TO LtJG Truus says:

CEO Ens McKnight says:
::The CEO's door falls open, scar runs out followed by a thrown boot:: Scar: And stay out you.... ::waves at angry fist::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:

::Looks upstairs.  To none in particular::  Someone is not having a good morning.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I thought we needed a reminder that we still are Starfleet officers ::finds a seat at the table::
TO LtJG Truus says:

FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Hears the clatter upstairs and realizes:: CO: I think Scar has done the honors of getting everyone up::

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Clears his throat and glances at the direction of the table::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Enters the living room and takes a seat in one of the chairs.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Makes his way downstairs::
TO LtJG Truus says:
SO: Maybe the captain and Maor will let us keep him. ::laughs::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Chuckles at the FCO's comment.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Exactly Mr. MacArthur. That is exactly what I mean.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Looks at Rose and quietly smiles back while taking another bite of his breakfast::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks a bit sadly at Truus::  TO:  When we go back, if I understand things correctly, we will go back alone, to the starting place where all of this began.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around:: All: Are we missing anyone?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Enters the kitchen looking like he lost a fight with a razor blade::
TO LtJG Truus says:
SO: Mm. I don't know about you, but I'll be glad to be back on a ship.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Eyes the CEO disapprovingly::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Notices the newly arrived CEO:: CEO: Decided to join us, Ensign?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: Settle down. We'll keep this brief and to the point.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns to the direction of the Captain:: CO: Captain? ::Takes a seat::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Simply nods her head... she would miss this world, but as she kept reminding herself, it was not going anywhere and at least most of them had not made any personal attachments.  She glances over at the ambassador at that thought.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: We have just a few hours before the big event and I want to make sure all teams know what the others are doing.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks up at the CO as the briefing begins::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Grumbles has he collects some breakfast and sits down::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: Mr. McKnight, briefly tell us what is your plan for tonight and who you need to go with you.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods as she eats her meal, trying to keep the butterflies at bay.::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Digs into his breakfast as he listens to the reports::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Just as he raises his fork he hears his name:: CO: Yes ma'am ::places his fork down::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Rough fur wraps around her feet in a morning ritual.  Without thinking, she breaks off a piece of meat and gives it to Scar.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
CO: Well first and foremost Truus and I are expected to work together by the group we've worked with so to be apart who raise suspicion, so I intend to back him up on this task.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks from the CO to the CEO::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: So you will be under covert at the party tonight?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Glances around the assembled, wondering who has adjusted too quickly to planetary bound assignments ::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
CO: Yes ma'am, we're expected to cause a distraction for the group
SO Lt Rose says:
::Catching the ambassador’s eyes, she frowns slightly, wondering what is going through his mind.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CEO: Very well. I want you to have backup so take Mr. Macarthur and his...friend with you. I am sure the expansionist will not oppose some extra pairs of paws.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Here's the sound of a bad joke drum in his head::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Clears his throat:: CO: Maybe you'd like to know the specifics of our diversion?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Gives the CO a dry look:: CO: Yes ma'am
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Yes, Mr. Truus. Go ahead.
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: McKnight and Rose placed smoke bombs in the air vents. They'll activate them remotely at the right moment. I also used my work in the garden to place some harmless explosives there.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
CO: Ma'am I'd like to add that as I was only able to plant one smoke bomb in the palace I've acquired a few small smoke grenades which we could use in the absence of the extra smoke bombs being planted
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: McKnight and I will be serving food to the attendees in the meantime.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CEO: Are they just smoke bombs? Nothing that can knock people unconscious?
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO/CEO: Very well. And as far as we know, those bombs are meant to make a distraction while the assassination takes place?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
XO: Yes sir, as it pains me, they're not even made from tech, just standard light and throw.
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: I don't know for sure, but that is my guess.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO:  Good. Mine as well
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: And do you know when you are supposed to activate the bombs?
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: My contacts will let me know...
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Looks at her:: CO: Captain... should I do it?
CEO Ens McKnight says:
CO: They could be used to clear the area of civilians, make them think there's a fire, Ta'hal did seem to want to avoid any harm to the general populous.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Finishes his meal and leans back in his chair and drinks some coffee, He hadn't gotten much sleep in the past week or so and it was starting to catch up to him, but he only needed one more day.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CEO/TO/FCO: Before you detonate anything, let Commander Maor and myself know about it. Our objective is to stop the assassination. And if the smoke is linked to it we need to know.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Nods::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Only if either Commander Maor or myself ask you to.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Her plate mostly empty, she stands to put it on the table for later.  At the same time she refills her cup and takes her seat::
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: right now, it is not clear which option will be to our advantage. So we have to be ready ... for anything ::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: We already briefly discussed what you must do. Is your team ready?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances to the direction of the CIV::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  My team is as ready as we are going to be, we still have the large barrels of napalm to place, didn't want to place them before today in case someone stumbled across them.  Then it's just a matter of setting the detonators and waiting for the army's arrival.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks at the CTO now::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Also I believe it would be best to have Lt Rose with my team as with her run-ins with the military she's likely to raise some eyebrows if she’s at the party.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Feels the Commander's gaze and shifts his neck to look back, and suddenly wonders if Maor was aware of the explosive options ::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I know you want to minimize those affected but your team can not do this alone. Ms Rose and Mr. Pandora will go with you.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I want you or one of them to be in constant communication with Commander Maor. If you need backup, do not hesitate to ask.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Understood.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Leans back and sighs to himself::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods as he hears his name mentioned, getting the assignment::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Commander, as I said you will be coordinating the teams. Perhaps the ideal is that you are on the move. What is your plan?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Knows that diplomacy is not his strong suit, so hopes if he can get them to stop he'll be able to talk them down.::
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  What exactly do you want me to do?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I've used my contacts to secure myself a spot in the aerial guard charged to patrol the skies. I should be able to move from team to team upon need. 
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Excellent Commander. We will all keep an open comlink with you. ::Looks around the room::
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: Excuse me, I have something to add...
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Looks at Truus::
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Ambassadorial Envoy Savar and myself will be at the party, trying to figure out who will be assassinated and stopping it. Hopefully we will also be able to prepare them for the arrival of the Undundians if other plans fail...
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Yes, Mr Truus, go ahead
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  Well I think I could defiantly use the help in explaining the situation to them if and when we get them to listen to us.
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: Ta'hal and Sahrafel, one of the Expansionist leaders, will be there... they'll be expecting us ::indicates himself and McKnight:: to do our part.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Are you worried he will kill you if you don't?
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: I think it's a possibility.
SO Lt_Rose says:
::Smiles wryly.  Quietly::  CTO:  So I get to play diplomat?  We had best work on our speech approach then.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  At least help me with it, I've never been much of one.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Then it is our job to make sure that does not happen. There will be three of you there, 2 of us in the party and commander Maor in the air. We have to be careful but as you well know, this is an extremely dangerous...and important mission. Do you have an objection in continuing with it?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Her voice still quiet::  CTO:  We have a few hours to plan it out.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Frowns with determination:: CO: I've made it this far... this is no time to quit. Just have a quick exit ready if things go sour.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Pandora to include him in their discussion.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Without knowing the exact details of when and where you three will be in that night it will be difficult to prepare a plan. But please work with Commander Maor in developing one.
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: Yes ma'am.
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Notices Rose's looks and raises his hands in defense:: SO/CTO: Don't look at me... I was an engineer before I switched to operations officer. I'm the last person you should see as a diplomat.. Just give me stuff to do and I should be fine..
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: Our priorities have to be clear tonight. and if anyone objects, please do so now. I will have no discussion later
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: We will restore our timeline, whatever the cost. Is that clear?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Smiles at Pandora with a shake of her head.::
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Nods in agreement with Pandora about engineers and diplomacy::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Nods to the captain:: CO: Captain, the expansionists have never met me, they maybe a little suspicious..
TO LtJG Truus says:
FCO: Just stick with me, Ta'hal trusts me.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Ma'am, one other thing.  We might want to... well, basically destroy all evidence of our presence here before we head out.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Nods to the TO::
OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Turns his attention to the CO as she does a final check on loyalties and moral objections and nods his approval::
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Except what we will need for tonight that is.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: I'll be taking care of that, Lieutenant.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Very well. TO: Mr. Truus. Do you think the expansionists will be suspicious if you bring a third element?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods at Maor, somehow glad that she would not have to do that.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Yes Rose, we most definitely should. This house will be clean before we leave. Is there anything else we need to take care of?
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Shrugs:: CO: I think they're already suspicious to some extent, but they've already entrusted me with this, so what can they do?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: TO: That is true, they are also in a precarious situation
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: Anyway, I have been working in the gardens, and he will be disguised as a fellow groundskeeper.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Stick with the CEO and TO. They will need your help, especially if they have to escape. But if things get complicated we can always ... adjust.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Considers.  She would love to take a souvenir, but that is not likely to happen.  After further thought, she shakes her head.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at the TO::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CO: Are we taking one of the transports?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CO, waiting for her signal to end the meeting::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks at the FCO and then glances at the CEO and TO:: CEO/TO: Are you?
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: I trust each team will take care of the details and ask for help as required. Is there anything else that we should all know before we leave?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
TO: Would it not convince Ta'hal that with the sensitivity of this, that you brought me to stand guard, hence the transport and a giant cat?
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Shrugs:: CEO/FCO: We'll talk it over on the way there.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Shakes her head negatively.::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Nods but sighs inside::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I think that's about sums it up.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: We have work to do. Dismissed!
SO Lt Rose says:
::Her head motioning to OPS and the other tactical officers, sans Truss:: CTO:  When do you want us to head out?
CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: We should leave shortly.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CEO/TO: So are we taking a car?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Nods::  CO: Agreed
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO/OPS/Sec:  We should probably head out there pretty soon, give us plenty of time to set up and prepare, we know they are coming today but don't have an exact time so need to be ready, get what you want or need and be ready to roll out in 30 minutes.  Pack some food it may be a long day.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
FCO/TO: I think the 3 of us turning up together in the same car would look odd, so maybe public transport would be best?
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  I will get the food for us as I clear out the kitchen.  I need about 30 minutes for last minute details, an hour would be nice.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Rubbing his forehead:: CEO/FCO: I agree. Let's take public transport.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO/OPS:  That will work, be ready to go in an hour.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
TO/CEO: With a giant cat?
SO Lt Rose says:
::With a nod, she stands to get as much as she can done before they leave.::
TO LtJG Truus says:
FCO: Sure. It'll make a good conversation piece.
CEO Ens McKnight says:
::Gives the FCO a dry look:: FCO: I care not for the transport logistics of your cat
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands and heads for the basement, his security team behind him to pack up and get ready the last of the weapons and gear they need.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: One last thing, once we leave this house we're not coming back here. Grab whatever you left behind and still need. I will vaporize everything else.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
All: And that includes that damn cat.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Pauses, turning to look at Maor and then nods her head.  That had been her plan anyways.::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CEO: I didn't decide we should bring the cat
