Summary
	While the Nighthawk is under extensive repair, the crew has been given a two week leave of R&R.  However, their trip there has taken an unexpected turn.  Their first moment of peace and quiet will be in Risa’s brig and not on the beaches.
	The crew came together to protect their own which included using phaser fire.  The locals called in their police who arrived and took the inciters of disturbing the peace to jail; all but one of the twins.  The three mercenaries who wanted something escaped, but not with what they were after and ones escape was to eternal sleep.  The local police are giving chase to them.

Announcements

•	You are all in the brig… interesting…
•	Welcome back to Dylan.  Unfortunately, we are running into the same problem as we had with ScottK.  For now, baring the unforeseen, he will be CIV though unofficially.  As for Rose… I need to put her into the background.  With so many good and creative players, trying to keep track of her has become increasingly challenging.  Please remember to add Dylan to your mail string:  dylan@e-llusion.co.za
•	Anyone interested in fixing up our board for posting?
•	Scott McCracken should be joining rejoining us this next mission… welcome back Scott.
•	Our joint mission with the Tal-War will start the following Saturday 1/28 on the Tal-War.  Please mark your calendars accordingly to make it.  Those doubling… prepare to work those fingers.  Also consider whether or not you want to have a mission our regular time or not the same day.
•	It was decided to have a nice simple bonding mission this week, so you are all in the pokey.  However, we will be short Chris and Jim.

Time Lapse:
	Half an hour… Enough time to get you to the ‘precinct’ and ‘booked’

Captain's Log, Stardate 10601.14: While I attend to Varesh's Mother and explain some items, the rest of the crew is heading to Lt Knight's position to bail him out.

First Officer's log, Stardate 10601.14 - We are now at the scene of the shootout in which the FCO is involved. The Lieutenant Rose and Commander Gomes have joined me. We will be making a move forward and into the besieged building any time now.

<<<<<<<<<< Piece of Mind... II >>>>>>>>>>

CIV Rose says:
:: Slightly out of breath, looks at Gary for the 'what next' cue. ::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Figures he's not going to get much more out of V and starts firing his phaser again::
Valdir says:
FCO: I really hope the rest show up soon, and then we need more time to talk.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Phaser drawn he stops running as the sound of phaser fire is getting louder and louder::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Rushes to the scene and quickly evaluates the situation::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Follows behind Rose, grabbing her skirt while running::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Yes V, time to talk is what we really need.  But let's just handle these guys until everyone else gets here.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: As he sees some of the opponents he frowns…They are not entirely unfamiliar::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks around as everyone disappears::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Spots the CTO and shouts:: CTO: Kol! Over here!
 Largo says:
:: Fires downhill at the people, as told to by his employer::
Valdir says:
FCO: I'm with you there. :: Fires at the attackers again:: I suppose the rest of the gang is going to be quite surprised, huh? :: Keeps the sarcasm to a minimum::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Reaches the CIV and FCO and ducks where they are, not exchanging a word. She scans the surroundings quietly::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
*CTO*:  We could really use some help here.  How far away are you?
 XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks over the crate to see what is going on now, then turns to the other two:: CSO: What can you see on that? :: Points to her tricorder::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Notices the CMO shouting… great… give away how many people are coming. He waves shortly at the CMO and advances with caution::

Scenery:  Outside the door of some kind of warehouse are three men who are very annoyed and firing sporadically at the building.

CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
*FCO*: We're all on our way to you now sir. Hold on just a little while longer
FCO LtJG Knight says:
OPS:  Good to see you.  We can use all the help we can get.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: I am not sure how to explain, it is best that we take a seat and wait for Ensign Kol and he can explain it.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Grabs his leg::  *CTO*:  Acknowledged.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods to Jackson:: XO: There are two others inside the warehouse, plus these three outside.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir/CSO:  More help should be here shortly.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Runs to meet the CTO::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: These men are mercs...Some he hasn't seen in years..:: *All*: These are mercs, we know some of them. We and the CMO are approaching from the south side

Action:  As Valdir moves, he feels something under his foot.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: One of them is our FCO
Malita says:
:: Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Captain, I don't know what you think you came to do here, but Starfleet is the least favorite organization in my life at the moment. I will rather deal with the Orion Syndicate or someone like that.
 Largo says:
:: Motions to his accomplices to move inside and search for their targets::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO: Alright... CSO/CIV: We go on the count of 3... Brianna, can you provide covering fire as we go?
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Moving closer he starts firing at a carelessly showing arm::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  I'm getting a little tired of this......we need to take these guys out now!  :: Fires continuously at the attackers::
CIV Rose says:
:: Lifts a brow at Gary as she widens her eyes.  That was what she got for coming along.  Nods::
Valdir says:
:: Looks down and lifts his foot::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: shouldn't we ... sneak in? They are more armed than us
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Following his brothers lead he fires and shifts position, moving closer to the scene without exposing himself too much::
 Presto says:
:: Nods and slides the door opening, as the third member of the gang lays down covering fire::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Raises his phaser as he runs with the CTO and fires::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets ready to go nonetheless;;
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CSO: We have the element of surprise. Unless you have another way in, we need to go guns ablaze.
Valdir says:
FCO: I am totally in agreement with you there. :: Sees its a pendant, hanging on a delicate golden chain::
 Largo says:
:: Hears the phaser fire from behind him and turn and fires::
CIV Rose says:
XO:  Ummm... Gary?  What do you want me to cover with?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  I don't see you firing.....why aren't you firing?  What has your attention?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV: I suppose you didn't bring a phaser either ----
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: According to this record I have, he is not dead.  And for the Orion Syndicate, well they are more shady than Starfleet.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
*All*: Move in, if we attack them from 2 sides they'll have no idea of telling how big their opposition is::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Works around her tricorder:: XO/CIV: On the back of the building are the main storage doors. They seem to be deserted
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks aside to Brianna:: CIV: What she asked.. :: Smiles:: I'll provide cover then.. CSO: No sign of trouble there?

Scenery: The streets around the small altercation have cleared of all civilians, leaving only the crew of the Nighthawk and the three mercenaries... in the distance, sirens can be heard as the authorities make their way there.

Malita says:
CO: I know how and what the Orion Syndicate is, Captain, I'm not a complete idiot. As for your records... stuff them where the sun don't shine, mister. I saw my son's body! :: Starts crying::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Rushes the position firing his phaser in short bursts::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I only detect these three in front and then someone else inside with the FCO
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Running across an open patch he fires rapidly and shouts:: Largo: Hey, what are you doing here. Don't you know you shouldn't stick your nose in other peoples business?
 Largo says:
:: Peers into the semi darkness and sees the figures heading towards the warehouse:: Presto:: Belay that.  You two up on the roof, fire at anything and anyone trying to get in.
Valdir says:
:: Picks up the pendant:: FCO: This was under my foot. Sorry, I'm firing. :: Does just that::
 Largo says:
:: Carefully aims and fires at Ar-Kol, making sure not to miss::

ACTION:  Weapons fire goes back and forth... everything seems to be at a standstill.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens to the fire after the sirens:: Self: This can't be good
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Just keep firing V.  Now's not the time to be artifact searching!  :: Fires again::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO: Let's move then.. Where do we go? I'll lead, but I will need your directions...
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts moving closer to comfort her, but stops, thinks if got closer his shins would be in danger.:: Malita: We all saw his body.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Carefully aims on the run and fires on one of the mercs::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Shows him the diagram:: XO: Just around the building. Once inside there should be accesses to where our FCO is
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Ducks away behind a barrel. As he starts firing rapidly, he notices his brother taking up position across the street. The mercs can try to move this way…but it'll be their last move::
Valdir says:
FCO: I'm getting mighty tired of this. :; Absent mindedly slips the chain over his head, the pendant resting on his chest.:: Sorry, but it threw my balance off. ::spots one of the mercenaries and fires at him::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods again:: CSO/CIV: Let's move then.. This way.. :: Points back to a small alley leading around the building::
CIV Rose says:
:: Follows along, mainly not wanting to get into the way at this point.::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Quickly accessing some schematics of the area he notices there is a way to get closer undetected. He looks around, then enters a door close to him::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Good, because I'm losing quite a bit of blood here.  :: Grabs his leg again::
Malita says:
:: Can't help but smile:: CO: I won't kick your shins, Captain, I just never wanted him to go to Starfleet in the first place. And now he's gone. Just like his father.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods and follows, then whispers to the CIV:: CIV: Much more appealing than an outright attack isn't it?
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
CMO: Can you take over the position of Ra-Kol?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Looks back and notices the absence of the CTO before aiming and firing again::

ACTION:  Valdir feels a warm sensation on his chest where the pendent lies, his biochemistry mixing with it.

Valdir says:
:: Rips a piece from the hem of his tunic:: FCO: You keep firing, I'll tie it up quickly. :: Binds the wound::
 Largo says:
Presto: Don't kill them; just get them down on the ground.  I don't need more interfering people around.  We get the map and get out.
Presto says:
:: Nods::
CIV Rose says:
:: Whispers:: CSO:  Safer you mean?  :: Smiles::
Valdir says:
:: Glances down at the pendant, but doesn't pay it too much heed for the moment, Aaron needed his attention::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Grits his teeth and fires as V binds the wound::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
CTO: Not sure I know what you mean. :: Fires again::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Runs up a stairwell that leads to the roof::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Leads the way to the other side of the building, watching carefully for any signs of trouble::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: I can understand, if any consolation, my father didn't want me to head to Starfleet too.  And with that strong objection, my brother and I still joined Starfleet.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Shrugs:: CIV: At least on the short term ::looks ahead, looking for the doors::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
CMO: No problem. You stay here, I’ll run across the street
 Largo says:
:: Moves cautiously inside the warehouse:: Outloud: Little purple girl...  You have something of mine....  and I need it back.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Lays down covering fire:: CTO: Go!
Malita says:
CO: It’s not the same. :: Sniffles::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Jumps up and starts running across the street, zigzagging, not bothering to fire::
Valdir says:
:: Turns as he hears Largo:: FCO: You want him?
Presto says:
:: From his position on the roof, he has a panoramic view of the people moving towards the warehouse.  He begins to fire very carefully, rotating his aim form person to the next::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Keeps up the covering fire as the CTO runs::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Hears Largo and yells out:: Largo:  Whoever it is you're looking for is not here.  Unless you have some sort of beef with us, I suggest you lay down your weapons.

ACTION: All officers make it to their destination...  The sounds of the authority are much closer now.

CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Runs up the last stairwell and busts open the hatch to the roof::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Two of the guards left for the rook, so beware of them firing down
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Spots the door and increases his pace, careful not to make too much noise:: CSO/CIV: Alright, let's go... Just a few more yards..
Valdir says:
:: Glances down at the pendant, the warm feeling pulling his attention::
Adagio says:
:: Follows Presto's lead, firing more viciously and with longer bursts::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods and follows the XO closely with her silent tricorder at hand::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  I'd rather not chance hurting the thug.  Perhaps we can get some info out of him if we do this thing right.

Action:  Phaser fire just misses the CTO's foot.::

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO/CIV: I am also detecting another life form in the building; I believe it is our CTO. One of them that is, difficult to tell which from here
Valdir says:
FCO: I'm going to try something... keep his attention. :: Starts focusing his emotions... he needs to get that thug under control... without being seen.::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Ducks in cover and assesses the situation. That last shot was close... it was coming from the roof. Looking up he notices 2 thugs up there. He pulls back a little bit so he can't be seen from the roof and waits for his brother::
 Largo says:
FCO: I’m not so concerned about who has it, I just need a certain... object she stole from me.  IF you have it, throw it over, and we all walk away.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO: Alright.. :: Looks up to the roof of the building, stopping, signaling the CIV and CSO to pass::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Enters the building with caution::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Just give me the word and I'll have you covered.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Enters the roof and sees 2 thugs on a rooftop across the street. Staying low he makes sure they can't see him::
Presto says:
:: Sees the CTO jump as he just misses, and fires again, aiming higher this time::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Aims carefully at Presto's hand and fires::
CIV Rose says:
:: Moves quietly past.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: Well about a year after my brother and I left for Starfleet, our father left and never did speak to us again.  Stuart and I tried to contact him but there was no answer.  A month later we heard he was dead.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO/CIV: Good news is we won't have to go up. Lt Knight is in this level. :: Points in the direction where she detects him::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Follows the CSO and CIV inside the building and closes the door behind him. Looking around for something to make noise when it would open again, he walked over to a small cabinet::
Valdir says:
:: Notices the pendant glowing, and there is a key on it:: FCO: Aim to his left, I'll circle around to his right.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Largo:  This girl that you were looking for is not here, she dematerialized from this area a short time ago.  If you had a tricorder, you'd know that there are only two of us here.
 Presto says:
:: Decides its time to move...  stay in one place to long and you end up dead.  Moves two meters to the left::

ACTION:  Valdir's head goes invisible along with his legs.  After a moment, the arms follow.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Nods to Valdir, aims and fires to Largo's left::
 Largo says:
Valdir: Did she leave anything when she disappeared?  Like an item of Jewelry?
Malita says:
CO: Ok, maybe it is the same in a sense... but please let me indulge in my self-pity. We haven't spoken civilly to each other in almost 5 years.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Moving to the edge of the roof he slows his breathing and carefully aims at one of the thugs, taking his time but not wasting any. When he is sure of his shot he pulls the trigger, while his phaser is aimed at the leg of the thug::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Sees the merc move and adjusts his aim before firing again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Continues scanning ... it all seems too easy. Only one guard with the FCO. Why doesn't he run?::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Takes a metal pole laying near the cabinet and puts it in front of the door, a few small pebbles right next to it, so the metal noise would be heard when the door opened, then goes in the same direction the CSO and CIV went::
Valdir says:
:: Doesn't answer the merc, and instead make his way to where Largo is hiding, not even bothering to be too stealthy about it::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: I never knew that you had a bad relationship with him.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  You're guess is as good as mine.  He must really need whatever it is he's looking for.

Action:  A wooden support near Presto is hit; the rather old building shifts, dust and dirt stirring around them all.

CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: When he hears his brother firing he jumps up and sprints towards the building the thugs are on::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Sees the building shift and fires on the strut again::
Presto says:
:: Feels the building shake and raps on Adagio's shoulder, indicating they need to move to somewhere more stable:: 
 Valdir says:
:: Glances down again and sighs, ducks behind a crate and shuffles out of Largo's line of sight::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Starts firing at the men on the roof::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Frowns as she enters the room with the FCO:: FCO: And what would that be? We thought you were imprisoned
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks up, knowing they need to get out of there soon::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks around for the other life form::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Enters the building and stops running. Carefully he proceeds to the top floor::
Adagio says:
:: Takes a phaser shot to the chest, and is knocked off the roof, falling down and landing on some steel fencing below.  He dies.  Messily. ::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  Imprisoned?  What ever gave you that idea?  I believe he's looking for the pendant V, er, Valdir just picked up.
Valdir says:
:: Ducks past the crates, working his way around and behind Largo::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Arrives at the scene of the CSO, CIV and FCO as well and nods at the FCO:: FCO: Are you okay?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Wonders why the FCO seems to be referring to himself as he:: FCO: So this is all about jewel theft ..
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks down at his leg::  XO:  I'm fine for the time being.....the doctor didn't join you all by chance did he?

ACTION:  The mercenary on the roof goes silent as he is hit.

 Presto says:
:: Return fire::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head:: FCO: 'Fraid not.. Can you walk on that?

ACTION:  The Risan authority sirens stop as people get out of their vehicles and surround the old warehouse building.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Ducks down behind the wall and looks for a better firing position
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  I'm not really sure.  He just said he was looking for some jewelry that was supposedly with some purple girl that was here earlier.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: I believe he is working with the CTO. I am at a loss as to what. To be honest I am at a lost as to what are any of us doing here :: Frowns::
 Largo says:
:: Bends his head, listening carefully:: FCO: Pendant?  That would be it.  Throw it over here.  And stop trying to sneak up on me; I can hear you behind the crate.
Valdir says:
:: Sneaks up behind Largo, whispering in his ear:: Largo: I'm afraid that your time has run out.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Notices the local police:: *XO*: Sir, the local police have arrived. You feel like explaining what happened?
CIV Rose says:
XO:  Looks like more trouble.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
XO:  Yes sir, I should be okay for a while.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: A purple girl greeted us when we arrived. She was going to visit Varesh's mother with us but then just disappeared. I assumed she found other business to attend to
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  No need to be at a loss.  We'll try to figure this whole thing out once these guys have been taken out.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
*XO*: The police are surrounding the building
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: And you are certain they committed some sort of crime ... ?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Shakes head:: *CTO*: Negative on that.. any way we can get out unnoticed?
Authorities says:
:: Through an amplifier :: All:  Come out with your hands up.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  Yes.  It looks like she brought that business to us.  She was transported out of here a little while back.  Crime?  Not sure if they've committed a crime or are about to commit one.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Carefully approaches the roof::
Valdir says:
:: Relaxes his control and grabs Largo in a half-Nelson::
Presto says:
:: Sees his partner fall and die and silently rolls over, firing at the person who just shot him::
 Largo says:
:: Drops to the ground, rolling and firing::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*XO*: Trigger here sir, I assume from the sirens that the local constabulary has arrived?
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
*XO*: As far as i can see they've got all main points covered. I'd suggest sneaking out the back while we get their attention
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: I'll have to settle with that then :: Smiles faintly:: XO/FCO/CIV: There seems to be a battle happening on the roof. What do you propose?
Valdir says:
:: Well, tries the half-nelson, but jumps out of the way when Largo fires::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  I'm not going to be much help to anyone if we don't get out of here and I have my leg tended to.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Peeking around the corner he tries to spot the thug::
Valdir says:
:: Calls out to the group:: FCO: Aaron, I have him, well, sort of, but I can't take him alone. Are the others here to help?

ACTION: CTO Ar feels a singe of hairs as the phaser fire goes past him.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: I think we can exit safely the way we cam. But we have to do that before they decide to surround the building
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*CMO*: Correct, we need you at the scene, or close to… lieutenant Knight is in need of a medic.. *CTO*: Alright... We will try... All: Let's head out the back way.. :: Hears Valdir:: And we can help, I suppose..
CIV Rose says:
XO:  Do we respond to the authorities?
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Ducks away as the phaser fire is getting close::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks around to Valdir wondering who he is::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  Looks like we won't have to.  Valdir evidently has the guy.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks to the windows, and peers out::
Presto says:
:: Takes aim and fires again::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Yes, there are others here now.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Moves cautiously towards Valdir::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: He decides it's time for that diversion and leaves the roof::
Valdir says:
:: Huddles behind a crate and fires a shot at Largo::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
*XO*: I'm on my way Commander, don't worry, I'll be subtle.
Authorities says:
:: Calls out again.:: All:  This is your last chance.  :: Nods to his men who lift gas guns to their shoulders. ::
 Largo says:
:: Rolls over to where the voices where coming from earlier - If it was him, he'd have left the pendant behind.  Buts its not there.::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: He closes the door to the roof and with his phaser on a lower setting, makes sure the door won't open again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Whatever we do we better move fast before they tear down the building
Authorities says:
All:  Come out with your hands where we can see them, no weapons.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Running down the stairs he peeks out some windows to get an overview of where the authorities are situated::
Valdir says:
:: Moves to huddle behind another crate and fires to where Largo was last to his knowledge::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Glances at the general direction, and spots faint flashing lights::
 Largo says:
:: Rolls and fires, playing for time, with the authorities outside, he needs it now::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks over at Valdir quickly, then back to the others:: FCO: What is he up to now?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Scans the room for whoever Valdir is firing at::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Conceals his small weapon again and makes his way to the FCO's position::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
XO:  He says he's got the guy but needs some help.
Presto says:
:: Taps his left shoulder three time, turns, and jumps off the roof, then dissapears in a shimmer of red light::

ACTION:  One by one the mercenaries are beamed away, even the one pinned on the fence.

Malita says:
:: Manages to get herself under control after a few minutes:: CO: It wasn't common knowledge, although one or two of his friends had contacted me over the years... Anita was the most persistent.
 Largo says:
:: As he ceases firing, he also taps his shoulder and then disappears in a red shimmer::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Approaches Valdir:: Valdir: I am not sure who you are but you may want this ::hands him the tricorder:: Valdir: And I'll want it back afterwards
FCO LtJG Knight says:
XO:  Um, Commander, I believe the attackers are gone.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CIV: Here, take this.. I am heading out there, see what we can do.

ACTION:  A small vessel can be seen leaving the area.  The authorities call in for others to go after them.

CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Looking outside he notices the thug that fell is gone::*XO*: Sir, it seems the attackers are gone
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: Valdir: Or guess not, he is gone
Valdir says:
:: Hears the noise of a transporter and stands up:: All: They are gone. :: Smiles at Alex:: CSO: Indeed.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: Yes Anita has that "persistency".
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
*XO*: We'll distract them at the front, you get out the back
 Largo says:
Navigator: We didn't get it.  But we know who has it.  Get us out of here, as fast as you can.  We need to report this.

ACTION: With a nod from the authorities, gas bombs are shot into the building.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
All: Then let's get out before this turns nasty.. ::Turns towards the rear exit::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Enters the building the FCO is in from the rear::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Finds herself smiling back at him not sure why:: Valdir: It was a nice try though.  All: Now I am rather curious as to what happened here
Malita says:
:: Manages a small laugh:: CO: Yes, even her Grandmother came to see me once... formidable woman, but she couldn't change my mind then. Maybe someday I will think otherwise.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Hears the sound from the rear exit and fears they are fully surrounded::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Still holding his leg, he stands up and starts moving the the exit of the building::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
Self: More running ::approaches the XO scanning ahead::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Starts firing at the authorities, making sure he doesn't kill anyone, but making it convincing enough for them to go after him::

ACTION: Anasthezine quickly flows through the old warehouse.

Valdir says:
:: Moves to help Aaron, giving him a small smile::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: We have a little problem
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Puts his arm over V's shoulder and just about hops toward the exit::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Bursts into the room:: XO: This exit's clear but I don't think it will stay that way for long... Now would be a good time to leave.
Valdir says:
:: Sniffs the air and groans:: FCO: Best we sit down quickly... or fall over.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods, starting to run now:: CSO: I know.. All: Run..
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: I think our only way out is up ... is there anyone in orbit that can beam us?
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Approaching the ground level he notices the gas bombs. He quickly drops to the floor where the concentration of the gas is lowest and rips a bit of his uniform and puts it in front of his mouth::
 Presto says:
@Largo: It was him again.  I really hate that man.
Valdir says:
FCO: Or run. :: Helps him move as fast as possible along with the others.::
CIV Rose says:
:: Her eyes watering she sighs.  This was not her idea of a vacation .::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  No way!  We're just about out!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Takes a deep breathe and runs:: XO: I don’t mean to be pessimistic but they are everywhere. Maybe we can claim Starfleet business to be here and disobeying orders?
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: I am sure I won't be able to change your mind either, but what has happened is something I regret as well.
Valdir says:
:: Practically hauls Aaron out of the warehouse, holding his breath:: ~~~FCO: Never a dull moment, huh?~~~
ACTION:  The some of the authorities aim at the CTO, returning fire and they are not bad shots.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CSO: Let's get out first.. In any event, it seems it was not the authorities, but the CMO through the back door.. ::Still running towards the exit:: All: Everyone still okay back there?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Grits his teeth:: ~~~Valdir:  You know I don't like things dull!~~~
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Ducking away for the shots fired at him he starts pulling back and shifting position. He fires at the cars that he can see with his phaser set to maximum::
Malita says:
CO: Thanks for understanding Captain. Perhaps it is best you go, your crew will need you soon if those sirens were any indication. And don't ask how
CIV Rose says:
:: Lightheaded, falls to her knees. ::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods and follows deciding to keep her data for herself for the moment::
Valdir says:
I know... Starfleet always attracts the attention of others.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Crawling to a window he stays down, not getting the authorities attention back to the building::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Stops as she listens to Rose falling:: CIV: Are you ok? :: Rushes over::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods:: Malita: Can we have a talk later?

ACTION:  Those exiting the building find weapons drawn on them.
CIV Rose says:
:: Shakes her head as her eyes close. ::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
::tries to support Rose and bring her to her knees:: CIV: Just a little further Brianna
Malita says:
CO: I will think about it, Captain. Now please leave. :: Turns her back and heads to the back of the shop::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CMO: Can you give a hand?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Rushes over to Rose as well, helping Alex to get her on her feet and to the exit::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
::as he gets out of the building with V, he stops in his tracks....staring at the weapons now in front of him::

ACTION: As the CTO stops firing, quiet descends as each group waits to see what the other will do.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods and walks out the building. Takes three steps then starts a sprint to the sirens::
Valdir says:
FCO: Come on, flyboy! :: Stops as they exit the building:: Uhm, or not.
CIV Rose says:
:: Taking a deep breath starts to cough. ::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Frowns thinking that falling for no apparent reason is not a good sign:: CIV: Perhaps it was something you ate .... or didn’t eat
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Runs in and takes Rose's other arm to help her out::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Authorities:: Hold your fire!  We're the good guys here.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Seeing the hopelessness of the situation he retreats before he gets caught as well::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Starts moving to the rear to the rest of the group::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Helps Rose to get outside the building, then sees the crowd of security personnel. ::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Find himself behind a crowd behind a barrier, starts excusing his way through::
SEC Dagone says:
:: Motions for his people to hold their fire. ::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Moving away a few blocks he puts away his phaser and acts like nothing happened::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Pushes his way to the front:: Yells: Who's in charge here!
FCO LtJG Knight says:
SEC:  Um, do you think I can get a little medical attention here?
Valdir says:
XO: And it never gets boring, does it. Be it here, or on a luxury cruise liner. Here or the Scimitar.
SEC Dagone says:
:: Glares at the newest arrival. :: CO: I am.
Valdir says:
CMO: Doc! Get over here!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Puts her hands up as a standard reflex and looks towards the crowd::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Hears the captain's voice over the crowd and sighs::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Approaches the door and hears people talking outside… looks like the authorities didn't break their surrounding. Sitting down he overhears the conversation without giving away he's inside::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Finds his way to the FCO:: Aaron... where are you hit?
SEC Dagone says:
:: Turns to the FCO, looks a moment at him annoyed and then motions for one of the medics to assist.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
SEC: I am Captain Sid Monroe, from the Federation Starship Nighthawk, Those people… ::Points to the group surrounded by security officers:: are part of my crew.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks aside at Valdir and frowns:: Valdir: Did you.. :: Tilts head slightly:: Scimitar?
Valdir says:
:: Winks at Gary and nods:: XO: Later.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Pulls his hand away from his thigh and blood trickles out:: CMO:  Right here doc.......I am so glad to see you!
CIV Rose says:
:: Slumped against the XO, just listens, things not quite clear to her.:
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods slowly, curious as to what is going on, turning his attention instead to Brianna:: CIV: That was a close one, huh?
SEC Dagone says:
:: Angrily:: CO:  You know the rules!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Just waits standing with everyone. Wondering what just happened::
CO Capt Monroe says:
SEC: Yes I know the rules, I want to speak with them.
Valdir says:
:: Slowly stands, seeing Aaron in good hands::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Shouts out:: SEC: Hey! Get me a medkit here.
CIV Rose says:
:: Nods her head, then shakes her head then nods it again sleepily.::
SEC Dagone says:
CO:  You want to speak with the rules?
CO Capt Monroe says:
SEC: Yeah I want to find out what they did that caused this commotion.
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Walking normally, he checks his attire, making sure nothing out of the ordinary is showing. Then he makes his way to the rear of the warehouse::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
::gets up and approaches the Sec:: SEC: I suggest, if you don't want to be in violation of the rules yourself you stop your arguing and get me a medkit so I can treat this man!
SEC Dagone says:
:: Looks at the captain confused figuring he must have had too much.:: CO:  Let me get this straight... you want to see my superiors right?  :: Smiles:: That is easily arranged. I even have transportation for you.  :: Motions to the vehicles behind him.::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Sitting still he listens to the conversation taking place between the CO and the police::
SEC Dagone says:
CMO:  Talk with the medic there... :: Points to the man near the FCO::
CO Capt Monroe says:
SEC: No I want to speak to my crew, before I have your badge for breakfast.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens to the conversation ahead:: All: This smells like a bureaucratic adventure to get us out. I hope you are all looking forward to the inside of a detention cell
Valdir says:
:: Glances down at the pendant still glowing around his neck and tucks it into his tunic::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Sees the medic and runs back, grabbing the Medkit he begins to treat the FCO::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CMO:  How bad is it Doc?
SEC Dagone says:
:: Becomes belligerent. :: CO:  You may do whatever you wish... down at headquarters.  Now I would advice YOU to cooperate and lets get going.  You and yours have disturbed the peace enough.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at the security forces, getting rather annoyed::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Approaching the scene he stands along the other bystanders and looks at the Nighthawk crew to see if anyone's hurt::
Valdir says:
:: Wonders if he should wriggle his way out of this one, and get Harlan involved or something...::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Steps to his left:: SEC: Fine.  ::Gets in the vehicle::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
FCO: It's a flesh wound Aaron; I'll have you on your feet in a few minutes.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CSO: Can you help me with Brianna for a moment, I think there is something that needs to eb cleared up..
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Mumbles under his breath:: Self:  Yeah, right, we disturbed the peace.  What an idiot!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods to the XO and grabs the CIV::XO: Good luck...
CIV Rose says:
:: Mumbles hazily as she finds herself being shifted. ::
SEC Dagone says:
:: Motions for everyone else to follow their captain. ::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: SEC: Excuse me a moment.. :: Nods at the CO::
Valdir says:
:: Decides to take his chances with his friends::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
FCO:  Thanks again Caelan.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV: You'll be alright soon, I am sure they have an antidote. Try to breath deeply to clear your lungs
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Refuses to move while he treats the leg::
SEC Dagone says:
:: Turns and looks at one of those from the building, annoyed. :: XO:  Yes?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
SEC: Excuse me, but... Do you have any charges to make..?
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
::If he can he'll sit this one out. Wait for the police to leave and hide if he can. Otherwise he'll fake he's fainted::
CIV Rose says:
:: Nods and coughs some more. ::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Feels the pain in his leg subside::
SEC Dagone says:
XO:  Disturbing the peace, firing weapons... :: Points to where a dead man had been::  murder... give me a bit and I am sure I will come up with some more.
Valdir says:
:: Kneels next to Aaron:: FCO: How you feeling, flyboy?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
SEC: And you have an proof of our involvement?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks up and let's out a slight smile:: Valdir:  Much better.  You don't think this was enough to keep me down, do you?
SEC Dagone says:
XO:  Security scans... and our on eyes, places you inside.  :: Looks up as one of his men with a gas mask comes out and informs him the building is now cleared and a bit worse for wear.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Notices how the FCO and Valdir speak like they know each other for a long time::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
CSO:  Listen, Commander, thanks for your help back in the building.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
SEC: As I said, do you have any proof of our involvement in the disturbance of peace, of firing weapons, of.. Murder.. All you have is a scan that places us here. I doubt very much that would even get you half a warrant..
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Peaks out of the vehicle:: XO: Do you want to spend the rest of your life in a cell? Just cooperate, will you, I will figure something out.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
Valdir: Here, take this and hold it over the wound. ::hands him the Dermal Regenerator and goes to see why Rose is coughing::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Smiles:: FCO: No problem ... but I will still want to hear the whole story. Perhaps in the long hours we will spend seeing the inside walls of a Risan jail
CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: And that is an order for you and the rest of the crew.
Valdir says:
CMO: Right, doc. ::takes the dermal regenerator with a smile:: FCO: It takes a lot more indeed. But I can have the doc confine you to bed so I can finish that talk with you.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
CIV: You ok?
SEC Dagone says:
:: Leans forward into the mans space.::  XO: Defying the authorities will get you at least a couple of days in our brigs.  :: Barks out.::  Get moving mister.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Chuckles a bit::  CSO:  It's a deal.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Glares at the CO and the SEC, then moves towards the vehicles:: SEC: You have not heard the last of this..
CIV Rose says:
:: Nods her head at Caelan and then shakes it as she starts coughing again.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CMO: She needs something to release the gas from her system.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sits back in the vehicle, and pulls out a padd and begins making notes and finding contacts in Risa. ::
SEC Dagone says:
XO:  Nor have you... :: A pleasant smile comes to his face as he watches everyone loaded up.::
Valdir says:
:: Just goes along with the rest, helping Aaron being loaded into the waiting vehicles::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Places his arm round Roses shoulder:: CSO: Help me get her in the transport.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods and moves along helping the CIV and CMO, resigned to her fate::
