Summary:  
	Shooting Stars: After two days, with the Federation council’s go ahead, the Nighthawk follows the Mamporians through a doorway of light with unknown consequences of trust.

	Mirror Universe: Sid Monroe has chosen sides to help the humans retake Earth.  With the plans he and others had come up with, he begins is own preparation, which consist of gathering a core command crew; he already has the basic crew to run his ship.  

He has now recruited Varesh, a top notch medical officer.  Varesh is a man on the run from the Alliance because he is Betazoid and they both fear his people and want to control him and his abilities.  Sid has met up with Tulpen who came to him with a special package from Harlan.  Obviously, if Harlan trusts her, then he could to, for now.  A currier would be good at getting needed items as well as getting themselves in and out of situations.  They had to be trustable or they would have no jobs.  And she was human, she might want to see home.  But her decision has yet to be made.  As for the rest of the crew Sid intends to gather… we shall see.

Time Lapse:
     1 minute…

Mission Facts:
	There are two stories here.  One has come to a pause and we will return to it at the end of the MirrorWide.  The Mirror arc begins shortly after.  The one minute time lapse is yours to be used or not.

Announcements:
•	Thanks to those or you who have been doing some log catch up!  Keep on it.
•	Logs for this last mission: twould be nice to do one for the Shooting stars one, but primarily due one for the Mirror.  Try to give us some background in your logs on our mirror character.  While the next few missions are primarily character building, we do not have huge amounts of time to form them
•	I still need a character sketch to work with for the arc, if ye want me to do it properly that is .  The good thing is everyone is using their alternate self and not another.
•	IMPORTANT: I have the PRIZE project this coming weekend.  As decided, unless otherwise, mission next week will be on SUNDAY 1/27.  

Last Mission on the Nighthawk:

The nighthawk crew has suggested to the Mamporians a possible alliance or at least relationships. To that end, they have sent the information they have gathered to headquarters along with their proposal of continuing first contact.

Two days later, with the council’s permission, the Nighthawk crew finishes preparations to follow the Mamporian's primary vessel.  However, there is some concern, for the Mamporian's have not given them any coordinates, or nothing the crew is able to understand or locate.

The Mamporian's have also given a rather odd request for the crew to be prepared for the flight.  The crew awaits the Mamporians's signal that they are ready to depart.

Captain's Log Stardate 10801.19: I will be consulting with Varesh on how this first contact situation will be handled.  I have asked the crew to investigate as well the device found in engineering.

CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::on the bridge of the Nighthawk still gathering data from the star::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::On the bridge, waiting for some news from the Mamporians::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::at Tac 1 monitoring tactical type things::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Down in engineering, helping Three with something.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Reading over the communiqué in the ready room::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::rings the chime to the RR::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CNS: Come.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::enters the room:: CO: You asked for me, sir?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CNS: Yes please have a seat.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::seats himself across from the Captain::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
XO: We are ready to depart, though we would be a lot better prepared if they had given us coordinates
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CNS: I was wondering if you have any suggestions to how this should be handled.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods:: CSO: I quite agree.. Quite frankly, I'm not sure we should follow them without know where we're going..
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
XO/CTO: Also, our sensors have reach the limit of what we can get. There is no way we can find out what sort of technology they have which can control a star
SO Lt Rose says:
Three: Not that!
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Looks around to the CSO:: CSO: That's not good... If we don't know what we're dealing with, then how will we know what their intentions are with us...
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks curiously as her friend sighs and continues and then shows her the finished result.  Grins wrly. Yea, yea... so I am not an engineer.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::nods:: CO: I was expecting this, but I'm not really any closer to an answer than I was before.
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
XO: Well, when you chose the first contact avenue, you put yourself in their hands
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CNS: Ok, I guess that is where my training as a diplomat comes in.
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::taps at his console for a few seconds before frowning at it and undoing what he did::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CO: Yes sir. I will speak to Aaron some more to get his impressions of them, and to the rest of the away team as well. We have some time before formal first contact happens. We will have the right answer... I hope.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods:: CSO: I realize that.. However, I did expect them to give in more than they have...
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
XO: It was a gamble, it still is
 CO Capt Monroe says:
CNS: Ok lets go and see them shall we?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CO: After you, sir.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Gets up and walks out of the ready room::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::grumbles and tried something else::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
All: Incoming message, they are ready
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::Walks out onto the bridge::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
::Catches the message:: CSO: Very well.  XO: Take us in.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods at the CSO:: CSO: Alright.. ::Turns around as the CO and CNS enter::
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
XO/CO: I will acknowledge and say we are ready too ...
CSO Lt Tulpen says:
::sends a message to the aliens saying all is set::
CTO LtJG Trigger says:
::taps his console again and monitors the tactical sensors::
 
ACTION: As the Nighthawk stands ready to follow the Mamporian's lead ship, they see a beam of light strike outwards into space.  There the light spreads, folding in on itself.

The Mamporian's signal they are ready to head out.  Then without another word, they head into the doorway of light and are gone.  Other vessels soon follow.

As the Nighthawk enters the doorway, they feel themselves one minute being crushed under pressure and then pain as if they are being suddenly pulled apart, and then nothing…

Throughout the Alpha quadrant there is rumor of change.  But that is nothing new and most people just ignore it.  But there is one man, Sid Monroe, who is not ignoring this rumor.  For that matter, he is part of the newest unrest.  And he has a plan in mind that requires a crew that he can trust and can get the job done…

Sid Monroe says:
::Walks into his normal watering hole::
Varesh says:
::seated in a dim booth, nursing his drink::
Brianna Rose says:
:: A spanner in hand, grumbling under her breath, she strikes the bolt.::
Caelan Trigger says:
::sitting in a dark corner with his face in the shadows::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Spots one of his contacts and notices him pointing to a booth::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Her mumblings turn to something impolite about Caelan's anatomy::
Christina Tulpen says:
::hiding in a small room adjacent to the bridge. She is wearing a hood over her head and is carrying a large bag with unknown contents to the ship's next stop::
Gary Jackson says:
::On the bridge of his ship, waiting for time to pass until their arrival at their next stop-over::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks up to the stranger:: Varesh: You Varesh?
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks out through a small hole and notices the bridge is empty other than Jackson. So she knocks for him to open if the coast is clear::
Varesh says:
::looks up, raising an eyebrow:: Sam: If I were, what do you want?
 Sid Monroe says:
Varesh: I heard you were the best in what you do.
Caelan Trigger says:
::takes a drink and watches the rest of the bar::
Varesh says:
::gives a mirthless laugh:: Sam: I'm good in a lot of things. What exactly do I do?
Gary Jackson says:
::Hears the knock and looks around quickly, then heads to the conduit, taking off the cover:: Christina: You knocked?
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Yes ::comes out, looking around and without removing her hood. She brings her large bag with her:: Gary: How long till landing?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Cracks a partial smile:: Varesh: Take it from me, if I ask you to join me in a mission to get rid of the alliance, you would jump at it.
Brianna Rose says:
:: After a moment, with a sigh, she sits back and puts the panel back on.:: *Caelan*: If you are still alive, we need to talk about a few things.  :: Standing she heads up to the control area.::
Gary Jackson says:
Christina: I think another... ::Looks at the screen quickly:: 15 minutes at the most...
Caelan Trigger says:
::quietly:: *Brianna*: Don't tell me we need another new ship.
Varesh says:
::matches Sam's smile:: Sam: Does a chameleon rose change color at emotions? After what happened, I've been working towards that end. ::reads Sam's mind without a qualm to check if he's genuine::
Brianna Rose says:
*Caelan*: Beyond that?  I need a new capacitor or this junk pile is not going anywhere far anytime soon.
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: I am hungry. Though I suppose I can wait. Remember, your last payment is only after landing.
Caelan Trigger says:
*Brianna*: I'll have a quiet word with a couple of people, anything else we need while I'm here?
Brianna Rose says:
:: Taking the pilots seat she begins instrument check, saying a prayer as she goes.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Slowly smiles:: Varesh: I can tell you this much, I am in need of a medical genius like yourself if I am to survive this.
Varesh says:
::nods:: Sam: So you need a sawbones to patch up the motley crew you're getting together? ::shrugs:: Beats sitting in some mud ball bar getting drunk on really bad booze.
Brianna Rose says:
*Calean*: That new ship?  We also need... :: rattles off a list of items for the ship::  And some edible food would be nice.  Replicator is on the blink until you get me the other supplies.
Caelan Trigger says:
::finishes his drink and stands, his face visible for only a second before he pulls a large hood over his head and heads for the exit::
Gary Jackson says:
Christina: As always, miss Tulips... ::Steps over to the helm station to make sure they are still on course::
 Sid Monroe says:
Varesh: Very well then welcome aboard, I have other... associates I have to track down, but I have a ship sitting in docking ring 3
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Loose the miss, Jackson. ::looks around:: Gary: I'll sit here if your passengers behave like the rest. I am a little claustrophobic on that hole
Brianna Rose says:
:: Lets out a sound of disgust as three of the lights remain on and one insists on flashing at her.  She glares at it.  Then with a sigh, she stands and heads over to her tool kit.::
Caelan Trigger says:
::exits the bar and heads for the nearest place to get a capacitor::
Varesh says:
Sid: I'll need to get a few things together... meet you there in an hour?
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods:: Christina: As you wish... ::Makes a minor adjustment to the course, then sends the request to planetary traffic control to land at their usual landing pad::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Tucking the tools she wants into her belt, she opens the small hatch and slips inside.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::keeps her hood on and sits back in the small cockpit:: Gary: This run will give me quite the profit, maybe I'll take a vacation
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods, and hears a chirp.::
Caelan Trigger says:
::manages to procure a Capacitor by calling in a favor then heads off to find the rest of the supplies::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Pulls out a padd from his cargo pant::
Varesh says:
::heads out of the bar to his rooms, doubling back a few times to make sure he's not followed::
Brianna Rose says:
:: grumbling as she slowly makes her way up the narrow passage way that is rather warm, she asks herself again, why she hangs about Caelan.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks at the padd and finds out one of his contacts has found what he wants::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Mutters under her breath::  He is irresponsible, unpredictable... :: bangs her elbow and stops with a sigh to wipe the sweat from her brow.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::reviews in her head the instructions she was given for the delivery::
Gary Jackson says:
::Receives the required clearance and takes over manually, flying the small passenger liner into the busy traffic::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks out and heads for the flight bay::
Brianna Rose says:
:: After a moment, she heads further up, searching for the panel she has in mind.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: I will need to wait for your passengers to disembark. I will wait for the maintenance teams to sneak in. Once they disconnect the sensors, I sneak out...the usual procedure
Caelan Trigger says:
::walks by docking ring 3 and stops for a quick look around::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks into the bay and looks around::
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods:: Christina: Very well... Hopefully Jerry is on again as our docking agent... Should be a breeze if he is.. He is well paid for his services...
Brianna Rose says:
:: Finding the right panel, she pulls it open.  A quick glance and she pulls out the fused crystal and from her pocket, pulls out a replacement, muttering under her breath::  Last one, for all the good it will do him...
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: We all are Jackson
Brianna Rose says:
:: closing the panel, she readies herself and 'slides' back down the way she goes with a cry of... :: woohoo....
Caelan Trigger says:
::wanders back to his ship and looks around for Brianna::
Varesh says:
::stuffs a few things in a bag, then starts checking his personal arsenal::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Is the ship empty yet?
Caelan Trigger says:
::follows the "woohoo" and waits for Brianna to emerge::
Gary Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: Christina: Not all, I'm afraid... ::Gently takes the ship into the docking port and eases it into position::
Brianna Rose says:
:: With a slight contortion, makes her way out of the passage way to see Caelan:: Your late...
 Sid Monroe says:
::Stands beside the docking ring port, hand resting on his disruptor::
Gary Jackson says:
::Checks the settings for docked power mode, then starts shutting down systems one by one, as usual, before sending the ready message to the deck team::
Caelan Trigger says:
Brianna: Something caught my eye and I had to check it out... anyway, I have a present for you. ::hands over the capacitor::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Takes it with a thanks.:: Caelan: One of these days you are going to hand over something that glitters and I will go into shock.  :: Turns to head back down into engine area.::
Varesh says:
::pats the knife hanging from a string down his back before heading out::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Just tell me when the maintenance team comes in
Caelan Trigger says:
::reaches in the bag and pulls out a shiny new hypospanner:: Brianna: Don't say I never get you anything.
Gary Jackson says:
Christina: Passengers are checking out now.. Three more to go... Better get ready...
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods and takes a small envelope from her robes, delivering it to Jackson::
Christina Tulpen says:
::then leaves without further words to the exit, hiding to observe the passengers leave::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Stops and turns to take it with a shake of her head:: Caelan: Hah, this is for you. No romance in your bones, man, none.  :: Returns to her destination and calls out as she opens the panel, calling out behind her:: What is our next destination?
Gary Jackson says:
::Continues with the final shut-down procedures after accepting the envelope::
Caelan Trigger says:
Brianna: I'll find out when we get clear of this place.
Christina Tulpen says:
::once everyone is out and the maintenance team enters to start their work she exits onto the docking ring, looking for her client::
Sid Monroe says:
::Spots what he is looking for:: Tulpen: You Tulpen?  ::Hand on his disruptor::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Frowns as she takes out the old capacitor:: Caelan: What do you mean when we clear this place?  What kind of plan is that?
Gary Jackson says:
::Finishes his checks and heads out of the bridge module, heading for the exit as well::
Caelan Trigger says:
::pops his head round the corner:: Brianna: You'll see. ::grins::
Christina Tulpen says:
::eyes Monroe without removing her hood:: Sid: Tulips is my code name. Few people know me by Tulpen. I will need access to your retina
 Sid Monroe says:
::Bends over opening keeping his eyes open::
Christina Tulpen says:
::scans his eyes with a small device which turns a tiny green light. Then hands him the bag:: Sid: This is for you, all paid for already
Brianna Rose says:
:: with disgust, says something impolite under her breath and tosses the capacitor behind her.::
Caelan Trigger says:
::shouts from down the hallway:: Brianna: I heard that! ::smiles to himself::
Gary Jackson says:
::Arrives at the door and sees Tulips with another man, apparently making an exchange, but doesn't take much notice as he goes about his own business, making some outside checks::
Brianna Rose says:
:: ignores him and reaches for the replacement. ::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Takes the package:: Tulpen: Good.  Now I have a question for you.
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: I am all ears
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: I am in need of your services, and also your friend the Captain of that cruise ship.
