<<<<Resume "Currahee Part 7" >>>>

Host K`Beth says:
::looks at the clerk:: Clerk: We have no money.

Host Clerk says:
::Smile slowly fades::  CO: I....see.

Host K`Beth says:
Clerk: We are willing to earn our board, though.  We have been earning our way throughout our travels.

Hunter says:
::stands beside the CO::

Host Clerk says:
CO: Oh?  But what could Honored ones such as you possibly do in a poor guest inn such as this?  I would not dream of insulting you, or the local governor, by allowing Honored Ones such as yourselves to ...clean!

Host K`Beth says:
::looks at the clerk:: Clerk: Then we will find shelter elsewhere.  Thank you.  ::starts to leave::

Hunter says:
::turns to follow::

Host Clerk says:
CO / CMO: Wait!  I am sure we can accommodate you Honored Ones.  Please, take a room with my compliments.  ::Smiles and hands over a key::

Host K`Beth says:
::turns back:: Clerk: If you are sure?

Host Clerk says:
CO: Certainly.  It is always a pleasure to serve.  ::Gives a small bow::

Host K`Beth says:
::smiles and takes the key:: Clerk: We are most honored, thank you.

Host Clerk says:
CO: Allow me to show you to your room.  Have you any bags?

Host K`Beth says:
Clerk: No, our bags will be arriving later.

Host Clerk says:
CO: Certainly.  Then please follow me.

Host Clerk says:
::Leads them up stairs and to a room at the end of the narrow hall.::

Hunter says:
::follows the CO and the Clerk::

Host Clerk says:
::Points out the common bathroom at the end of the hall, near their room and then opens the door to their room.::

Host K`Beth says:
::follows the clerk to the room and enters the room...notices that it is similar to a dozen others that she stayed in with Flynn during their travels:: Clerk: Thank you very much.

Host Clerk says:
INFO: The room is small, with two beds a nightstand, a water pitcher, a table and two chairs.  A window looks out onto the street.  Electric lights are the room's only "modern" convenience.

Host K`Beth says:
Clerk: This will do nicely. ::walks over to the window and looks out briefly before turning back to the clerk::

Host Clerk says:
CO / CMO: Then I will leave you in peace.  We serve dinner starting at six, in the common room.  ::Bows his way out and closes the door.::

Hunter says:
::returns the bow::

Host K`Beth says:
::waits until she can't hear the clerks footsteps and then cautiously opens the door a crack and looks down the hallway::

Host K`Beth says:
::closes the door when she sees the hallway is empty and turns back to the doctor:: CMO: Well...suggestions?

Hunter says:
::sits down heavily on the bed::

Hunter says:
CO: I wish could think of something....those guards let us go way to easily.

Host K`Beth says:
CMO: I know.  ::starts to pace the small room::  And we've got to figure out a way to get back to that temple tomorrow without being seen.

Hunter says:
CO: we should leave early I would think

Host K`Beth says:
::nods:: CMO: I think we need to find out how the others are doing but I'm afraid if they are watching us that any communication will be intercepted.

Hunter says:
CO: I wonder if there is someway to get the monks to deliver the message

Host K`Beth says:
CMO: I don't know how to contact them from here.  Hopefully we can find something in the morning.

Hunter says:
CO: ::nods:: I hope they can help us…otherwise this is going to be a real short trip

Host Brett says:
<<<<Hours pass and the next morning arrives>>>>

Hunter says:
::wakes up, dresses and does some morning exercises::

Host K`Beth says:
::is standing looking out the window in the early morning chill. Watches the doc exercise.:: CMO: We had better leave in a few minutes.

Host K`Beth says:
::walks over and pulls her cloak on::

Hunter says:
CO: Sure ::finishes::

Hunter says:
::grabs his cloak:; CO: Ready?

Host K`Beth says:
::nods, walks out of the room and downstairs.  Stops at the desk and hands the key to the clerk::

Host Clerk says:
::Takes the key and bows::  CO: I hope you enjoyed your stay here, Honored Ones.  If there is anything else we can do for you...?

Hunter says:
::smiles and nods at the Clerk::

Host K`Beth says:
::looks at the clerk for a moment and then smiles:: Clerk: Actually yes, I need to get a message to the priest at the temple.  Would you know of anyone who would be reliable enough to deliver it?

Host Clerk says:
::Looks confused.::  CO: The temple?  Well, umm, yes I suppose.  But...Why would you wish to speak to him?  ::Looks aghast::  Oh!  Forgive me, I should not have spoken!  It is not my business!  I am very sorry!  ::Bows low::

Host K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: Clerk: No, no...quite all right.  I spoke with him yesterday.  We are theology students and are studying the many religions throughout the Romulan Empire.

Host Clerk says:
CO: Oh!  Well, that is wonderful.  Bettering one's mind and spirit is truly a noble undertaking.  My son can take the message.

Host K`Beth says:
Clerk: Do you have parchment and a quill so that I may write the message?

Host Clerk says:
CO: Certainly.  ::Rummages around under the desk and places the items on the counter::

Host K`Beth says:
::quickly writes a short cryptic note telling the priest that the 'pilgrims' are staying at the Artist Nook.  Blows on it to dry and folds it:: Clerk: I am telling him to send his answer here.  I'm afraid this means we may still need lodging here tonight.

Host Clerk says:
::A quick pained expression crosses his face but is replaced with a smile::  CO: Certainly!  And we are happy to have you.  Please, stay as long as you like.  ::Smiles::

Host K`Beth says:
Clerk: Thank you.  If you will have your son deliver this and we will check back later for any reply. ::gives a short bow and leaves the inn::

Hunter says:
::bows and Follows the CO::

Host K`Beth says:
::walks down the street a ways:: CMO: We'll follow your suggestion and wait for an answer.  In the meantime I'd like to find a place where we can contact the others without getting caught.

Hunter says:
CO: ::nods:: I would say just walked around and act touristy ::grins::

Host Clerk says:
<<<<Meanwhile the day before, the CSO and OPS are having their own little adventure outside the café where they are eating a quick lunch.>>>>

Syrna says:
::takes another bite of the soup and watches the Apothecary.::

D`von says:
::sips his drink, and looks over at the building, then takes a bit to eat::

Host Brett says:
Action: A figure walks up the street across from the cafe and approaches the Apothecary.  While dressed in the local way, it appears to be a Romulan.

Syrna says:
::looks at the Romulan to see if it is the one they seek::

D`von says:
::looks across the  road, at the figure but can't make out who it is::

Syrna says:
::does  a quick surface can to see if she can detect who he is::

D`von says:
::looks at Syrna, to see he she can tell if it is him or not::

Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow as she notes this person is blocking her mentally:: OPS: Do you recognize that fellow?

Host Brett says:
Action: As the figure walks up to the door, it pulls back his hood and unlocks the door.  You can see that it is Jacob Tarrez.  He enters the shop and closes the door.

D`von says:
::nods at Syrna:: CSO: I believe it is Jacob

Syrna says:
::calls the waiter over::

Syrna says:
::nods at D'von::

Host Brett says:
Action: The curtains in the shop are opened and a small sign is placed in the front window.  It appears that the shop is opening for the day.

D`von says:
CSO: Looks like they are open

Host Brett says:
Action: The waiter approaches.

D`von says:
::looks up at the waiter::

Host Brett says:
<Waiter> ::Bows low::

Syrna says:
OPS: Please give him what we owe for our food.

D`von says:
::pulls out a small bag that he is keeping the money in:: Waiter: How much?

Host Brett says:
<Waiter> D’von: Five Sabo, Honored Ones.

D`von says:
::pulls out five sabos and hands them to the waiter,::

Syrna says:
::waits to see what the waiter does::

Host Brett says:
<Waiter> ::Takes the money and bows then backs away and goes back into the cafe.::

Syrna says:
::looks at the place across the street:: OPS: Shall we go?

D`von says:
::stands and nods::

Syrna says:
::looks around as they cross the street, trying to appear casual, looks for other Romulans::

D`von says:
::walks with Syrna, and thinks so far so good, but as he has grown a custom to, once things are looking good bad things happen::

Syrna says:
::nods at D'von's unspoken thought::

Syrna says:
::enters the Apothecary::

D`von says:
::looks around the Apothecary::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The Apothecary shop is small and filled with a wide assortment of bottles, jars and boxes.  They reside on shelves that cover the walls and stand like book cases in the middle of the room.  At the back is a raised counter with an office behind it.  Sounds can be heard from the back, conversation, running water, the clinking of metal.

Syrna says:
::sees no one is in the front, tries to listen in on the conversation::

D`von says:
::looks at the back of the room then to Syrna::

D`von says:
::wonders if Syrna can at least tell how many are back there, if not what they are saying::

Host Brett says:
INFO: Two voices are heard, one obviously an older male, the other a younger one, perhaps in his teenage years.  They speak the local dialect.  Apparently they are making tea.  The older one is asking the younger how he passed the night and engaging in general small-talk.

Syrna says:
::wonders if the older one is Tarrez::

Host Brett says:
Action: A young Tegedaaran emerges from the back room and comes up to the counter.  He fiddles with some papers and then sees the two Romulans in the shop.  His eyes grow large and he stares.

Syrna says:
::looks over at D'von:: ~~~OPS: What do you think? Two or perhaps more.~~~

D`von says:
::nods for Syrna to look at the counter::

Syrna says:
::looks up at the young Tegedaaran:: Tegedaaran: Who is the proprietor of this shop?

Host Brett says:
Action: The young man turns and bolts back into the room, out of sight.  His voice can be heard:  "Uncle!  Honored Ones are here!"  ::He sounds frightened.::

D`von says:
::looks over at the young Tegedaaran and waits::

D`von says:
::looks over at Syrna and wonders if Romulans are always treated like....well Cardassians::

Syrna says:
~~~OPS: Most likely.~~~

Host Brett says:
Action: A few whispers can be heard, then the older man's voice.  "Go and see what they need.  Be sure to treat them with respect, as I have taught you."

D`von says:
::waits for someone to come back to the front::

Host Brett says:
Action: The young man emerges, quite nervously, and looks at the two Romulans.

Host Tegedaaran_boy says:
 CSO / OPS: May I...How may I help you Honored Ones?

D`von says:
::feels sorry for the young Tegedaaran, and remembers his own youth back on Bajor::

Syrna says:
Tegedaaran: I was hoping to speak with the owner or manager of this shop. My companion and I just arrived planet side and I was looking for an establishment that may have need of my skills.

Host Tegedaaran_boy says:
CSO: Uhhhh.  I see.  Ummm, well, we have no need of help.  We are a small shop as you see.  Ummm, sorry.  ::Smiles half-heartedly::

D`von says:
::hears the door shut in the back:: Tegedaaran: Who else is here with you?

Syrna says:
Tegedaaran: I see. Very well. Any recommendations?

Host Tegedaaran_boy says:
OPS: ::Looks very nervous:: Umm, no one!  Well, my Uncle, but no one else!

D`von says:
::wonders why the boy came in the but no one else:: Boy: I see, may we speak with you uncle

Syrna says:
::wonders where the other Romulan went::

Host Tegedaaran_boy says:
OPS: Umm, certainly...I will go and fetch him.  ::Turns and rushes into the back::

D`von says:
::thinks that Tarrez probably got scared and left out the back::

Host Tegedaaran_boy says:
Action: The sound of a door being thrown open comes from the back room.

D`von says:
::wonders what is going on in the back::

Syrna says:
::waits, but is growing more nervous as each moment passes::

Syrna says:
::still remains outwardly calm, covers her emotions mentally::

D`von says:
::out of habit, he checks his pocket to make sure the small phaser device is there::

Host Brett says:
Action: A low whistle begins in the back room and quickly rises to a shrill pitch.

D`von says:
::wonders what that is, walks around the counter and to the back to see what is going on::

Syrna says:
::thinks: a low whistle? Rising in pitch? That's not good.::

Syrna says:
::stands near the door::

D`von says:
::sees the tea pot and pulls it off of the fire, seeing no one else around he walk back up front:: CSO: They all left out the back, and left the tea on

Syrna says:
OPS: We have failed then.

Host Brett says:
INFO: OPS enters the back area and finds three rooms.  One is an office, one a bathroom, one a sleeping area where one person makes his home.  A teapot sits, whistling loudly on a type of hot-plate.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The back door stands open into an alley.

Syrna says:
::follows D'von into the back and sees the open door, goes through it to see what she can see::

D`von says:
CSO: There were three rooms back there, one of them is a living area for one person, I wonder if he lives here

Syrna says:
OPS: Not likely to anymore.

Syrna says:
::standing in the alleyway, looking around:: OPS: They are gone. ::sounds grim::

Host Brett says:
<<<<The CSO and OPS leave the shop and head back to the tailor shop>>>>

Syrna says:
::outside Kes Nardin's tailor shop::

D`von says:
CSO: Ready to pick up your robe

Syrna says:
OPS: Yes.

D`von says:
CSO: Then lets go ::starts walking into the shop::

Syrna says:
::enters the shop::

D`von says:
::looks around for Kes::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Emerges from the back room and smiles, bows low::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
OPS / CSO: Ahhh, Honored Ones, you have returned.  I have your robe ready for you.  Please wait here and I shall fetch it.

Syrna says:
::nods and waits::

D`von says:
::nods to Kes:

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Goes into the back and returns shortly with a folded bolt of cloth.::

Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
CSO: Now Honored lady, if you will stand here...::Swirls the green fabric around her and places the scintillating robe around her shoulders.::

D`von says:
::smiles at the robe, and how good she looks in it::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Steps back and appraises it with a critical eye.::

Syrna says:
Kes: It is....:: sees D'von smile:: beautiful.

Host Kes_Nardin says:
OPS  /CSO: Hmmm, yes.  I like it.  It flatters you Honored lady.  ::Smiles::

D`von says:
Kes: Indeed it does suit her well

Syrna says:
::nods politely:: Kes: Thank you. I do believe we owe you 30 Sabos.

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Nods and tries to look humble::

D`von says:
::pulls out his money and gives Kes 30 sabos::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Accepts the money with a bow.::

Host Kes_Nardin says:
OPS: Thank you kind sir.  Are you sure you would not like me to craft something for you as well?

D`von says:
Kes: No, thank you I don't believe so today

Syrna says:
::looks at Kes wondering if he would be willing to help them with what they need::

Syrna says:
Kes: Perhaps some other time. I hope we can do business again.

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Bows low and smiles::  CSO: Certainly.  I thank you for coming.  Please, recommend me to your friends.

Syrna says:
::carefully takes the robe off and folds it neatly, to take with her:: Kes: I will speak highly of your wares to my associates.

D`von says:
::nods at Syrna's comment::  Kes: Thank you again

Host Kes_Nardin says:
::Bows again and smiles::

Syrna says:
::exits the shop::

D`von says:
::exits the shop with Syrna::  CSO: I hope you really do like the robe

Syrna says:
OPS: I do. ::said simply:: Shall we return?  :;said with regret::

D`von says:
::nods and walks with Syrna back to the ship::

Host Brett says:
Action: Two figures, unseen by the CSO  /OPS, watch as they leave the shop and walk away down the street.

Host Brett says:
INFO: As darkness falls, the two approach their hidden ship.

Host Flynn says:
::Sits in the darkened cockpit watching the small scanner screen as two figures approach.::

Syrna says:
::is really upset with herself over bungling the mission::

D`von says:
::approaches the ship::

Tarrez says:
::enters into the cockpit with two drinks::

D`von says:
::notices Syrna has been extremely quit as they walk back, wonders if it is because they missed Jacob::

Host Flynn says:
Sy: Looks like two of our wayward lambs have returned.  ::Smiles and accepts the drink::  Thank you dear.

Tarrez says:
Flynn: You are welcome ::peers to see if it is K'Beth or Owyn::

Host Flynn says:
::Blacks out the rear interior lights and then lowers the hatch::

Syrna says:
::enters the hatch after it is opened::

D`von says:
::sees the hatch lower, and enters the ship with Syrna::

Host Flynn says:
::Closes the hatch::  Sy: I guess we should go and see how they did.

Host Flynn says:
::Spins around and gets out of his chair, carrying the drink with him.::

Tarrez says:
::nods and moves to greet whomever it is::

Syrna says:
::doesn't look happy, but then, when does a Vulcan look happy::

D`von says:
::smiles slightly at Tarrez and Flynn::

Tarrez says:
::tries not to let her disappointment come through on her face.::  OPS/CSO: Welcome back.  I am relieve that you are safe.

Host Flynn says:
::Raises the lights again and observes the two newcomers::

Host Flynn says:
ALL: Well, no extra holes.  I guess the day was moderately successful.

D`von says:
::shrugs:: Flynn: It was okay, we did see Jacob Tarrez,

Host Flynn says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

Tarrez says:
::eyes widen::  OPS: Are you sure?

Syrna says:
XO/Flynn: Greetings. We did indeed.... and unfortunately it seems we also... lost him. ::blames herself::

Tarrez says:
OPS/CSO: What happened?

D`von says:
Flynn/XO: But we lost him, I think two Romulans might have been two much, he and the shop owners left out the back of the shop through the alley while we were up front

Tarrez says:
::frowns::

Host Flynn says:
::Wonders if they had gotten close enough to grab his robe, seeing the bundle in Syrna's hands::

Syrna says:
::nods at D'von:: XO: It is my fault. I thought that perhaps we would find him within. It was too good an opportunity to miss.

Tarrez says:
::doesn't even noticed the robe with the recent 

Tarrez says:
::shakes her head:: OPS/CSO: Neither of you are at fault.  You did your best.

Host Flynn says:
OPS / CSO: Well, come and sit.  I'm sure you are tired.  Let me fix you some dinner.

D`von says:
::smiles slightly at Tarrez’s comment::

Syrna says:
XO: But... I think I may have disobeyed a direct order. I... was wrong. ::is really upset with herself::

D`von says:
::looks over at Syrna::

Tarrez says:
::looks confused as they make their way to the lounge:: What order might that have been?

Host Flynn says:
::Decides to let the crew hash it out and goes below to the galley to fix some food.::

D`von says:
::doesn’t know what Syrna is talking about, but wonders why she is telling on her self anyway::

Syrna says:
XO: I am uncertain, but I believe K'Beth told us not to make contact. Just to observe. Which is what we did. Unfortunately I think the young boy and his uncle got quite nervous about our presence.

Syrna says:
XO: I did not say we were looking for him or anything of that nature. Just that I wished to speak with the owner of the shop.

Tarrez says:
::draws a deep breath:: CSO:  Let's not worry about it now.  It will not help anything. ::enters the lounge:: CSO/OPS: Can I get either of you a drink?

Syrna says:
::enters the lounge:: XO: Perhaps some mint tea.

D`von says:
XO: yes please,

D`von says:
XO: I will take a cup of well what every you got

Syrna says:
XO: I take it the Captain and Hunter have not returned?

Tarrez says:
::moves over to the counter and fixes the drinks and takes it back to the both of them::  CSO/OPS: Did you discover anything else? ::frowns:: Not as yet... and we intercepted a comm that leads us to believe that they are being watched by the Romulans.

D`von says:
XO: What makes you believe it is them, that is being watched

Syrna says:
XO: Well we have an address for another location.

Syrna says:
::wonders about that as well::

Tarrez says:
OPS: The description that was given of the two over the comm:: CSO: ::looks over at her:: Another address?

Host Flynn says:
::Comes back up the stairs carrying a platter with various fruits, vegetables and sliced meats.  Places it on the table between them.::

D`von says:
::looks up at Flynn:: Flynn: Looks good, thanks

Syrna says:
::hands the XO the piece of paper::

Host Flynn says:
OPS: Bon apetit' ::Bows and backs away::

Tarrez says:
CSO: Where did you get this address?

D`von says:
::takes a few pieces of fruit and eats them as the XO and CSO talk::

Tarrez says:
::ignores the food as her mind begins to whirl::

Syrna says:
::sets the robe down beside her:: XO: From the apothecary paperwork. It was another address that was frequently found. I think this may be an invoice of some kind. But I am uncertain. Does this ship have a universal translator? Can we scan this image and have the words translated?

Host Flynn says:
::Returns to the main cabin and busies himself with routine maintenance and so forth.::

Syrna says:
::eats some fruit and vegetables::

D`von says:
::picks up a piece of meat this time and eats it::

Tarrez says:
::thinks Alice could::  CSO: I will go see. ::nods to them both and heads for the cockpit::

Syrna says:
::waits for her to leave:: OPS: I feel so awful. I have made a severe error in judgment.

Tarrez says:
::enters the cockpit and takes a seat slightly out of breath::  Alice: Can you translate this? ::holds it up so that she can see::

Host Flynn says:
<Alice> ::Softly::  Tarrez: Perhaps.  Give the paper to Chrysalis and we will see what we can do.

Tarrez says:
::nods and finds out where he is and goes to met him::

D`von says:
CSO: It is not your fault, don't worry we will find him

Syrna says:
OPS: I suppose we should turn in for the night.

Host Flynn says:
