Brett:
 Summary: The Delphyne crew begins its investigation of the odd discrepancy concerning the passenger manifest.  Going cabin to cabin will prove both difficult and tedious and many passengers are roaming the ship enjoying its facilities.  But, they have to start somewhere…

Brett:
 <<<<Resume "The Galaxy Princess - Part 4">>>>

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *CO* Sir, Lt. Rhykmal and I have went over the ships passenger list and crew list at the time of departure, according to this information and our life signs scan their are nine extra people on board this ship

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @*CNS*: Is there any way to narrow that down a bit further?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *CO* We could go cabin to cabin, comparing those in each to the list, however that may prove very time consuming as people move around the ship, and are in and out of their cabins.  However, that may be the only way to find out who is on the list and who isn't

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: If we come upon a cabin that does not respond we can ask the computer where the passenger is…

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: I am not sure how their computer systems work, that might be something we should ask their XO? ::motions to the com system to see if Syrna would like to try talking to it this time::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @*CNS*: You may have better luck when they are serving dinner - most of the guests may congregate in the dining hall.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes to the comm panel:: CNS: Give me a name off of that list please…

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @*CNS*: On second thought, I believe I shall join your away team, counselor. Maybe I can be of more assistance there than here.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *CO* That may be true, we can just ask as they come into the dinning hall, do you think that our extra quest will join us for dinner?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @FCO: You have the conn.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::hands the Lt the list:: *CO* Very well sir,

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @:: Stands and heads for transporter room 2. ::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 @<FCO_Krash> CO: Aye, sir.

Brett:
 Action: In short order, the Captain has joined the away team.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::looks at the first name, raises eyebrow:: Self: John Brown… ::starts working at the computer:: Computer: Where is passenger John A. Brown, assigned to Stateroom 110, presently located?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::waits and listens to see if the computer will supply that info to Syrna::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Have you noticed any passengers who feel particularly uneasy? Or does it seem limited to the crew?

Brett:
 <Computer> (In a friendly female voice) CSO: Passenger Brown is in Holosuite 3.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I haven't spoken to any of the passengers, so at the moment just the command crew, the junior officers I have seen act normal

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Self: Hm… ::looks to the computer:: Computer, what activity is going on in holosuite 3 and where is holosuite 3?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: If the computer will tell us who is where, do you think it might tell us if their is anyone on the ship that isn't on the list, and tell us where they are?

Brett:
 <Computer> ::Displays a map of the ship and illuminates lights along the corridor in a fashion similar to the locator aboard the Delphyne::  CSO: Current program running in holosuite 3 is Red Barron version 3a.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: I suspect that like our own system… this computer tracks its guests by a form of combadge.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: Then anyone no wearing a combadge would be a undefined heat source?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Computer: Is anyone else in holodeck3 with passenger John A. Brown?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: We'd have to screen out individual heat sources, starting at one end of the ship and go to the other… if the ship is sophisticated enough to do that. Presently we are looking for anything that may lead us to have further suspicions.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: I am just not sure of how good it will be to track down everyone on the list, we already know they are here, those extra 9 people could just slip by us and we would never know it,

Brett:
 <Computer> CSO: Yes, passenger's Robert L. Brown and Jeffrey K. Brown.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises eyebrow:: Self: Must be a Brown Family reunion…

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::searches the list and marks the other two browns off her list::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Perhaps we should concentrate on the V.I.P.s?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::goes down to the next one:: Computer: Where is passenger Ryann T'henana assigned to stateroom 111 presently located?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: We do have that famous person on board

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: Although I am not a real pirate, I hear tell that pirates sometimes target the rich and / or famous.  ::grins::

Brett:
 <Computer> CSO: Passenger Ryann T'henana is currently in Salon 2.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO:  The Del does have better sensors, could we not program it to locate all the life signs on board the ship, and then eliminate those with combadges?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: that may be true, we can go and visit them if you wish?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::blinks:: CNS: I suppose. I was looking to do a detailed systematic check…

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CSO: We might have to have the del computer access the cruise liners computer, and then compare the life signs and the database of combadges

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CNS: That may well be a possibility.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::turns away and finds a passenger:: Passenger: Pardon me.. what is your name?

Brett:
 <Man> CSO: My name?  I'm Corin Salazar.  Why?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::looks on her list to find Corin Salazar:: Corin: We are doing an inspection of this vessel… what stateroom are you assigned to?

Brett:
 <Salazar> CSO: 322B.  An inspection?  Like a safety inspection?  Wouldn't it make more sense to do that before we left port?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO:  Perhaps we should confront the captain of this ship with our new findings, he last suggested that those extra people were guest that joined the ship after the original list was made, however we now have the boarding list.  He really doesn't have any more excuses to use up.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Salazar: If we were doing a safety inspection then yes. :: pauses:: I see that your name and room match, that is agreeable. May I ask, have you seen anything unusual in the last day or so?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS: :: whispers::  Let's poke around a bit on our own before we go back to him. He seemed to be hiding something?

Brett:
 <Salazar> CSO: ::Grins::  Well there are a couple of holosuite programs I don't think even Risa will allow, but other than that, no.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::nodes to the CO:: CO: Where would you like to start?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::would smile, but she's Vulcan:: Salazar: I see… nothing unusual… none of the crew acting… I don't know… strangely?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: I would like to  see if we could get that life sign comparison to combadges using the Del Sensors

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CO: Very well, contact the Science Officer on duty and get them to run the scans and comparisons to known data.

Brett:
 <Salazar> CSO: Strangely?  Well, no.  Although the assistant purser was a bit rude…  When I left some papers in the safe, the purser said I could retrieve them at any time.  His assistant, whom I saw today, told me to come back tomorrow.  I think I'll file a complaint.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Salazar: Did you catch the name of this assistant? Do you know if he is still there?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *FCO* I need you to see if it is possible to use the Del sensors to compare the actually lifesigns on board this ship, to the combadges used by the guest and crew, you maybe to access the cruise liners computer data base, or just tap into their combadge frequency and do it that way

Brett:
 <Salazar> CSO: He said his name is Smith.  Which is somewhat odd, since that was the purser's name as well.  I guess they might be related…although they don't look alike.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 Salazar: That is interesting… I thank you for your information.

Brett:
 <FCO> *CNS*: I'll need the frequency of the passenger's locator beacons.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::waits for Salazar to leave::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 *FCO* Just one sec ::pulls out his tricorder:: Salazar: May I see your passenger combadge a moment?

Brett:
 <Salazar> ::Leaves::

Brett:
 <Salazar> ::Stops::

Brett:
 <Salazar> CNS: Comm badge?

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 Salazar: Do you have an on board locator, or room access key of some kind?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::sees Salazar is busy with the CNS, goes to the Captain:: CO: Sir… passenger Salazar told me of a problem he had with the assistant purser when attempting to retrieve papers that he had left in the ship's safe.

Brett:
 <Salazar> CNS: Oh!  Yes.  ::Holds out his wrist upon which is a small bracelet::  They gave us these when we boarded.  A locator so we could find each other and such.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: I believe I heard the gist of it. Perhaps we should look into that as well.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::runs his tricorder over the wrist bracelet doing a frequency scan::  Salazar: Thank you, you have been most helpful.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: I agree. It does seem suspicious to me.

Brett:
 <Salazar> ::Leaves::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::sends the new data to the Del:: *FCO* You should have it now

Brett:
 <FCO> *CNS* :Affirmative.  We'll set it up.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO/CSO: I have sent all the information to the Del for them to do a life sign comparison check, it will probably be a while if it works.  ::Looks at the CSO: You have a lead, we should check out in the mean time?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Find the purser's office. Once there, we'll have to determine to whom we're speaking, if it's the purser or his 'assistant', and then proceed from there.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::nods:: Computer: Where is the purser's office?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::looks at her list of crew and looks up the name of the purser::

Brett:
 INFO: The computer lights the way toward the office, not far from the bridge.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 CO: The computer lights our path… ::frowns slightly:: I see no assistant purser listed… but the purser's name is Fred Smith…

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO: Well, we'll find out.  :: Starts off in the direction of the purser's office. ::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::walks along with the Captain::

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 ::walks with the Captain and CSO::

Brett:
 Action: As the away team approaches the office, they see a half-dozen passengers standing in front of the closed door.  One is banging on the door and the others are muttering angrily.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises an eyebrow at the scene::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CSO/CNS: Perhaps this is an excellent place to start.

CNS_LtCmdr_Llewellyn:
 CO: It looks like it is

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 CNS/CSO: Let's get a closer look, shall we?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 :: Moves closer to the purser's office. ::

Brett:
 <Woman> ::Sees the approaching away team::  All; Hey, Starfleet's here!  Thank goodness, now maybe we can get to the bottom of this!

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 Woman: What seems to be the trouble?

Brett:
 <Woman> All: We came to report a robbery.  My jewelry was taken from my cabin while I was at the beauty salon.

Brett:
 <Man> All: Yeah, and I had a portable vid system and a Tarkesian timepiece taken from mine!  There's a thief on the ship and the purser won't answer the door!

Brett:
 Action: Other passengers report similar thefts from their cabins.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal:
 ::raises an eyebrow:: CO: This is decidedly the place to begin.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev:
 All: I'm going to have to ask you to wait patiently while we investigate this. We're going to have to have a clear path to the purser's office and none of you can crowd in behind us. I will do everything I can to get your possessions back to you. Do I make myself clear?

Brett:
 Action: The crowd grumbles a bit but seems glad of some kind of action.  They move away from the office but not too far, obviously intending to stay and see the results of Starfleet's involvement.
