Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon, escorting the Terrellian freighter, has made it to the Rigel system.  As per orders, they have sent down an AT to Rigel IV disguised as Ruddy Orions.  There the AT has begun seeking answers to half formed questions (while they do a lot of blending).

Host Karriaunna says:
Meanwhile the Pendragon has encountered two Orion ships and been rudely informed that they have strayed into Orion space, something that was a surprise to them.  While the crew was distracted by the Orions firing across their bow, the Terrellian freighter vanished. Before the encounter, the freighter had been dealing with an unknown power drain.

Host Karriaunna says:
The Pendragon is slowly returning to the Orions’ borders.

Launa says:
#OPS:  So what was your proposal ?

XO_Kyrron says:
#::wonders if she should follow O'Dunn::

Danea says:
#::Runs a hand down her leather jumpsuit and shakes out her hair before entering the bar.::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: A shuttlecraft Captain... The Pendragon .... Ummm... "distracts" the Orions and the shuttlecraft goes back and retrieves the Team.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::looks at the CSO:: CSO: On second thought, I think I'll have another drink first. Something doesn't seem right.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: Hello ::Takes a seat and motions to the bartender for another shot:

ENS_Bullseye says:
::saunters over to the good looking FCO and smiles::

FCO_Rofax says:
::brightens up to M'Tor's idea::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#Launa:  My proposal was that I would like to see a sample of the merchandise I mentioned earlier ... If I like what I see I'll go back to my client with a recommendation to purchase.

TO_Trget says:
::checks tactical sensors::

Launa says:
#::Looks up at the intruder.::  XO:  He is taken.

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow:: CEO: Distracts?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::cocks a head at Saars:: Saars: Huh? Oh, I get it. ::smiles evilly:: I always intimidate men....

Naa`na says:
#::scoots right up to the CIV:: CIV: You know.. I can.. show you some place nicer than this...  ::waves her hand around the room::

XO_Kyrron says:
#Launa:  Just wanting a brief word with my companion.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: Anything that would .... hide the shuttlecraft Captain.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#Launa:  It is all right ...

ENS_Bullseye says:
FCO: Reporting for training, Sir.

FCO_Rofax says:
::senses the Ensign near::  Bullseye:  Do you have your orders Ensign?

XO_Kyrron says:
#OPS:  Later perhaps.  ::wanders off::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods slowly::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: So tell me more about the other strangers and then we can see where else we can sit

Captain_vonBloodHand says:
@:: Thinks this ship is moving  TOO slow.::

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: And how will you get past their sensors?

CIV_Blackwolf says:
::Self: Hope my wife does not hear about this::

Launa says:
#OPS:  Well maybe.  My commission is high.   XO:  Companion huh.... ::looks at ops::  Kinda forget to mention you were with someone, that will double my asking price.

ENS_Bullseye says:
::hands him her orders::

ENS_Bullseye says:
::admires his lobes::

Naa`na says:
#::bright smile::  CIV: There's not that much to tell... ::laughs gently::   None of them are as cute as you...

Danea says:
#::Enters the room and observes the Ruddys.:: Self: What kind of place is this?

FCO_Rofax says:
::stands and reviews the orders::  Bullseye:  Take a seat then... you'll learn the best way possible.... trial by fire....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#Launa:  My companion is not part of my negotiations ... but you have my undivided attention.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# CSO: You first.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS; Anything from the Away Team?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
<OPS>:  CO:  No, Ma'am, nothing yet

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks up at the FCO's words::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::shrugs, and walks out of the room, listening intently::

TO_Trget says:
::checks sensors again wondering if they are working properly::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: I can understand that but have you seen them in the last little bit?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: A moment, Lt Rofax?

ENS_Bullseye says:
::sits and giggles::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Certainly Captain.  ::crosses to her position::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#Launa:  I am prepared to pay whatever commission you feel is reasonable ...

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: I believe I can attempt so mask most of our warp signature and create a simple ghost on sensors, It will not be as efficient as a cloaking device but for a quick snatch & grab mission .. perhaps Captain

XO_Kyrron says:
#::goes and sits at the bar, keeping a close eye on things::

Launa says:
#OPS:  Hmmmm ::Ponders::  Ok, my fee is 50 bars of latinum....  If the sale is made I get another 20%.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods thoughtfully::

Danea says:
# ::Saunters up to the bar as if she owns the place, which in a round about way, she does.::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::eyes Danea::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::nods:: Launa:  Reasonable.  But I will need to check with my client.  Let's meet back here in, say 2 hours, to finalize the deal.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: I believe Lt Rofax and myself could do this.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# CSO: Believe that I have made a misjudgment. You see, I love Naa`na.

Host CO_Zax says:
::tilts her head::

Naa`na says:
#CIV: Well.. All I can really tell you is that.. these strangers.. no one really has seen them.......

Chauk_ says:
#::keep tabs with the newcomers:: Self: drinking too little

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks consideringly at Rofax::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::pretends to sip from his/her drink::

Captain_vonBloodHand says:
@:: The two Orion ships take up positions aft and starboard/port of the Pendragon and prepare to lock on weapons.::

Launa says:
#OPS:  15 minutes would be better, my contact shall we say maybe taking a small vacation.  ::Laughs::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#Saars: I'm sure that's very nice, but....so what?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Do you have a problem with your trainee?

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: wonders what she thinks as she tilts and looks around like so ::

Danea says:
#::Orders an Aldeberan whiskey and then leans back against the bar and observes the crowd.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::takes a sip of the drink in front of her::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Raises an eye brow:: Naa'na: What do you mean that you have never seen them?

Naa`na says:
#CIV: They are just......  rumours, you know?  ::drops her voice low::  You see.. no one alive has seen them.  And the dead don't talk very well.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#Launa:  15 minutes it is then. ::gets up to leave::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Of course not Captain.   With two Orion Lightning vessels tailing us.... there isn't pilot aboard who could outrun them.  A standard heading back to Federation space, with some minor course corrections should distract them.  I am sure the Ensign can manage.

Chauk_ says:
#Kyrron/Blackwolf/Pettigrove: can I get you something else? For the appropriate price, of course

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: Captain... Orion vessels are closing

Launa says:
#::Grins and stretches her long legs.:: OPS:  I'll be here.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::makes it to the bar:: CSO: When you love someone, you don't do anything with anyone else.  It... just isn't right. I still have the morals of the old Orion times. My father was an old fashion man, and my father's father was an old fashion man.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Rubs Naa'na's arm:: Naa'na: Now if I were a ghost, where would I look?

XO_Kyrron says:
#Chauk:  Fine for now, thanks.  ::goes back to watching everything::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::nods and leaves the bar area .. heading over to where the XO is::

Naa`na says:
#::leans close and strokes the CIV's hair:: CIV: Why don't I just show you? Hummm?

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: I believe they mean to lock weapons... :: knows he would at that time ::

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow:: FCO: Resume your seat, Lt. You are to train her....not scare her off.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: You can show me?

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Understood Captain.  ::sits::

Danea says:
#::Watches Chauk talk to the man near her and leans over.:: XO: Are you new in town?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#Saars: In that case, give me another drink, and tell me about him. ::instantly switches to a convincingly warm smile::

ENS_Bullseye says:
::smiles at him::

Launa says:
#::Grins thinking about her next profit and orders another drink.::

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: We have how long until the rendezvous point??

Naa`na says:
#::nods:: CIV: I can show you where to look.. or rumoured... because........  ::drops her voice low again:: That's where all the bodies are found...

Chauk_ says:
#Kyrron: if you say so ::cleans up a nearby table with a cloth as a means of keeping an eye on the strangers::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::wonders if they should move on to another establishment::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: Wait right here one minute ::Gets up and walks to the other end of the bar::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Continue course and speed.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: looks to the sensors and begins the calculations ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::Finds the XO and walks up to her::

FCO_Rofax says:
::begins plotting minor course corrections and instructs the ENS as to what he is doing::   CO: Aye Captain!

ENS_Bullseye says:
::looks at the FCO as he does such wonderful work::

Danea says:
#::Pouts when the XO ignores her.:: XO: Well, I can tell you're new here.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::gets the CSO and himself a drink:: CSO: My father is one of the only males I know that believe women shouldn't be our slaves. They should just be our wives.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#XO: Commander, I might have a break here, this dancer says she can show me where the people might be held at.

XO_Kyrron says:
#::nods at OPS:::

XO_Kyrron says:
#CIV:  Is she all right with you bringing company?

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: I estimate we should cross into Federation space at any moment Captain.

FCO_Rofax says:
::avoids eye-to-eye contact with her and continues to point out rudimentary information she would remember from the Academy::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  And I have also found some that might have been sold into slavery ...

Naa`na says:
#::looks at her master, and then looks at the CIV::  Self: Maybe... maybe that stranger guy can get me out of this dump.  ::says that a little bitterly::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Eyes Naa'na:: XO: I think she might not have problem with that

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::takes a sip:: Saars: Wives, huh? So he wouldn't approve of me owning my own business?

Danea says:
#::Eyes the XO, CIV, and OPS. She slides closer to eavesdrop::

XO_Kyrron says:
#Danea:  Do you work here?  Get me another drink.

Chauk_ says:
#::keeps glancing from one to another, trying to figure how to alleviate them of some latinum::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  I'm to meet my contact in 15 minutes to sample the merchandise.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: FCO: When we cross the border come about, lock on weapons and stay put.

Naa`na says:
#::takes a deep breath, and looks over at Saars:: self: I'll be back later for you, sweetie.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# CSO: No. He's not that crazy. Women are meant to still be a man's property. Just in the home, not waving themselves in front of other men.

XO_Kyrron says:
#OPS:  You've lost me.  What merchandise?

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#XO: I am going to talk to her again & see if she will help us

Danea says:
#::Laughs in the XO's face.:: XO: You don't learn manners where you're from do you?

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Understood Captain..... entering Federation space now...

CIV_Blackwolf says:
::Heads back to Naa'na:: 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  Humans sold into slavery.  I might have to arrange to buy them back ...

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
CO: Permission to prepare the shuttlecraft Captain

ENS_Bullseye says:
::bats her eyes at him and slicks back her lobes::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#Saars: Well then, I guess he wouldn't like me much. ::laughs::

FCO_Rofax says:
::brings the Pen to a cruising stop and brings her about::

Naa`na says:
#::brightens up with a big smile as she sees the CIV approaches::

Captain_vonBloodHand says:
@:: Loops over the Pendragon coming dangerously close to bumping them.::

XO_Kyrron says:
#Danea:  B*&#er off.

FCO_Rofax says:
::slaves TAC to his console and readies weapons::

Danea says:
# ::Looks around for Chauk:: Chauk: This one ::Points at the XO:: Has insulted me.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: Will you show me and my friends where this place is, I will make it worth your wild.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the CEO::

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# CSO: You own your own business? How?

XO_Kyrron says:
#Danea:  So?

Host CO_Zax says:
CEO: When it’s prepared the FCO and Ensign B'ullseye will join you.

Launa says:
#::Begins planning her next vacation.::

Chauk_ says:
#::towers to his full height at Danea's comment and walks up the Kyrron:: Kyrron: now, my friend, that was not polite

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: waits for his relief to arrive on the bridge and heads quickly to the shuttlebay ::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#Saars: Now, now, I can't just give everything up over a simple drink, can I?

XO_Kyrron says:
#::looks at Chauk and shrugs::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: as the doors close to the turbolift :: CO: Aye Captain

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, we are in position.... weapons charging.... firing patterns laid in.

Naa`na says:
#::looks disappointed for a fraction of a second::  CIV: Nah... just you.  ::grins::

ENS_Bullseye says:
::moves her chair closer to the FCO::

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::gives the CSO a second drink::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the FCO::

Danea says:
#::Tosses her hair back.:: XO: You ruddies are all alike, but even you should know better than to insult a daughter of the Randel house.

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: arrives quickly in the shuttlebay and brings the shuttlecraft pre-flight checklist on the panel ::

FCO_Rofax says:
::instructs the ENS as to what just happened, maintaining focus on the viewscreen and his console::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: No, I need my friends to go as well, if you do this, name your price.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::finishes the first drink before starting the second:: Saars: Thanks.

Naa`na says:
#CIV: you .. you get me out of this joint......   ::bites her lips:: I don't like working as a dancer.. but I can't go unless Chauk, my master, sells me.  That’s my price.  Buy my freedom.

Danea says:
#::Humphs:: Chauk: Maybe they have something to do with those appearances we've noticed.

XO_Kyrron says:
#::sarcastically::  Danea:  Forgive me, your highness.  ::turns away from here and pretends to be busily watching someone or other::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: I will see what I can do ::Looks at the XO and nods at her::

Chauk_ says:
# ::speaks near the Ruddies:: Danea: do you think so? I wouldn’t be surprised after that much off worlders around here ::shrugs::

Naa`na says:
#::shakes her head:: CIV: No.  My freedom first.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# CSO: Lets go back to that room. I don't want to do anything else but chat.

Launa says:
#::Checks her watch waiting for her contact.::  Self: I guess they don't want the merchandise too bad.

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Captain, permission to go to Yellow Alert?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: While you are gone, you replacement will cut across the Orion sector, maximum warp....heading away from the rendezvous point. Evasive maneuvers, ducking in and out of Federation space. We need to play "chicken" for a while.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Walks up to Chauk:: Chauk: Chauk, how much for the dancer ::Looks at Naa'na::

Danea says:
#Chauk: Those aliens are getting mightily annoying. ::Wraps her arm around his.:: Chauk: Buy me a drink.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#Saars: A lot less than I'm used to, but it's a slow night. ::sighs and follows him again::

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow and points silently to the yellow lights::::

Naa`na says:
#::follows the CIV and drapes herself all over him::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
*CO* M'tor to bridge... Captain... the rendezvous time is approximately 2 minutes away

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  I have to meet my contact now ...

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Understood. Be careful, M'Tor.

XO_Kyrron says:
#OPS:  Don't leave the building alone.

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Report to the shuttle as soon as your relief arrives.

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::makes it to the back room, and suddenly grabs the CSO, with a weapon aimed at her head:: CSO: Don't try anything.

Chauk_ says:
# Danea: Yes. That would be good ::furtively waves to two 6-feet tall bodyguards and points to Kyrron::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Danea says:
#::Smirks at Kyrron::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: adjusts the shuttles' warp signature after the shuttle is powered up ::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::notices the waving going on::  OPS:  I'll come with you.  ::gets up suddenly::

FCO_Rofax says:
::comm's his replacement and prepares the sub-routines for the Pen::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  Don't worry ... I don't plan to .... care to take a little trip?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::laughs, waiting to see what he's up to:: Saars: Change your mind, dear?

XO_Kyrron says:
#OPS:  Lead the way.

Captain_vonBloodHand says:
@:: breaks off his pursuit and  remains in Orion space, silently scoffing at the CO of the Pendragon.::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO_Fast>  ::makes way to the bridge::

Chauk_ says:
# <Bodyguards> ::nod at Chauk and close in on Kyrron, furtively::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::moves over towards Launa::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Chauk: How much for the dancer, ::Looks at Naa'na::

ENS_Bullseye says:
::prepares to follow her hero into battle::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO_Fast>  ::arrives on the bridge and crosses to the helm::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::notices the huge bodyguards moving in and puts her/his hand inside his/her pocket::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::noticed the slight jog when he moved his left arm into position...probably an old wound::

Launa says:
#::Sees her contact coming back with the other one.  Sighs::

Naa`na says:
#::lets go of Chauk::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: waits patiently for the arrival of the others and monitors the Pendragon's sensors from the shuttle ::

FCO_Rofax says:
::briefs his replacement on pre-programmed course headings and sub-routines::   Fast:  Don't break her....

Chauk_ says:
# ::raises eyebrow at CIV:: CIV: Why you ask? Do you dream you can afford her Ruddie?

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::hits the CSO in the back of the head with the weapon, trying to knock her unconscious::

FCO_Rofax says:
CO:  Permission to depart Captain?

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Chauk: I think I can afford it, name your price

ENS_Bullseye says:
::waits for the hunky guy to lead the way::

Danea says:
#::Smiles widely at the CIV.::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::feels the sudden movement she was waiting for, and uses it against him, slamming him into the wall::

Danea says:
#::Leans over and whispers in Chauk's ear.::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The CSO becomes unconscious, the walls of the room her last sight.

FCO_Rofax says:
CO: Thank you Captain.   ::makes way to the Shuttlebay::

Naa`na says:
#::is used to being talked as if she's a piece of furniture... but still.. doesn't mean she likes it::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::hears a commotion and turns to take a look::

Chauk_ says:
#::measures the CIV:: CIV: I'm not sure you are up for such a quality material as Naa'na

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::smiles, at least he got the hit, before he hit the wall::

FCO_Rofax says:
*CEO*  Lt, I am on my way.

Launa says:
#::Looks over at the commotion.::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
:: removes the safeties on the warp engines and transfers the shuttles weapons power to the shields ::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
*FCO* Understood.

Chauk_ says:
#::gives a nod to the bodyguards to 'dispose' of the Kyrron fellow::

Danea says:
#::Eyes the CIV up and down. Another stranger.::

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::Stand over the unconscious CSO:: CSO: They don't call me slayer for nothing.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Chauk: Last time I checked, she was a person,

XO_Kyrron says:
#::sees them coming and makes a run for the door::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The bodyguard comes to escort the XO out, not looking happy at all.

FCO_Rofax says:
::enters the Shuttlebay and crosses to the Shuttlecraft::

Chauk_ says:
#::eyes widen at CIV:: CIV: person?!?! ::Muah ah ha ha:: You ruddies kill me of laugh

Captain_vonBloodHand says:
@::heads back to his base.::

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Grabs Chauk:: Chauk: Be careful ::Looks at Chauk with his grey eyes::

Chauk_ says:
# CIV: since when women are 'person'?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::looks over at Launa apologetically::

FCO_Rofax says:
::enters the shuttle::  CEO: Are we prepared to depart?

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Chauk: You don't want to make me mad

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
FCO: I have transferred weapons power to the shield modifications... I hope to be hidden from their sensors... our weapons would not even cause a scratch in their shields.

Danea says:
#::Pulls a sharp knife out of her boot and gets ready to put it to the CIV.::

Chauk_ says:
#CIV: I'd remove that hand if I were you...

Launa says:
#::Shrugs like it’s a common occurrence then points to her wrist watch.::

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::picks up the CSO and carries her to a holding cell::

FCO_Rofax says:
CEO: Certainly.  Understood Chief.

Naa`na says:
#::sees the knife and tries to protect the man that's bargaining for her freedom:: Danea: Don't you dare...

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Chauk: Answer my question, how much for her!!!

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The CSO, with her infinite knowledge of Aikido, makes it look as if she is unconscious.

Naa`na says:
#::grabs Danea's wrist and push her away::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
FCO: I believe your piloting skills will be required.. I shall be timing our departure with a distraction from the Captain... at least I hope I will :; winks ::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Prepare for maneuvers. On my signal.

ENS_Bullseye says:
::eyes the TWO hunks she is with::

Chauk_ says:
#::measures the CIV once more:: CIV: come over to my office ::leads the way::

XO_Kyrron says:
#::stops short of the door and looks back::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::moves over to Launa:: Launa:  is it always like this in here?  Makes doing business very difficult.

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#::Looks at Danea:: Danea: Go ahead, make my day

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO_Fast>  CO: Aye Captain.   ::lays in course and readies warp engines::

Danea says:
#::Laughs at Naa'na and pricks her with the knife.:: Naa'na: You don't want to anger me little one.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::listening intently, glad she was ready for the hit::

Launa says:
#OPS:  Not so much difficult, but interesting.  You'd be surprised how it raises the prices.  ::Laughs::

FCO_Rofax says:
::takes a seat at the helm::  CEO: Ready?

CIV_Blackwolf says:
#Naa'na: Follow me.

ENS_Bullseye says:
::feels like a kid in a latinum shop::

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
*CO* M'Tor to bridge.... we are prepared Captain.... I am opening bay doors as soon as you begin the  distraction

Saars_Voks_Slayer says:
# ::places the CSO in the holding cell::

Chauk_ says:
#CIV: Your business is with me. Leave Danea if you prize your life

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::laughs:: Launa:  I imagine it does ... so ... do I get to see what I'm buying?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: On the count of three.

CSO_O`Dunn says:

CEO_Lt_M`Tor says:
% XO: Khest... I do not know.... XO: Permission to transport down and retrieve her Commander ?

XO_Kyrron says:
%CEO:  Can you isolate her biosigns?

Naa`na says:
#::stops and catches her breath at a corner, and leans her head against a wall::  Danea: Here.. this is the alley where all seem to be disappearing.  Anyone who walks down this alley.. no one is ever seen again.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::fumbles numbly into her pocket, tapping the comm badge repeatedly, hopefully::

FCO_Rofax says:
% ::scans frantically for any sign of O'Dunn... DNA.... cellular degradation.... anything::

Danea says:
#Naa'na: In a minute.

XO_Kyrron says:
%CEO:  Get a medkit!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
#::tastes the floor of the shuttle, sensing not much else::

FCO_Rofax says:

%::has the strangest urge for chocolate-mint ice cream::

Naa`na says:
#Danea: This mysterious street...  lots of things are reported to have seen here.. strange things.. and then.. those people who have seen it are never heard from again.  No.. you're not going down there until you hold up your end of the bargain.

% XO: Understood.
