SUMMARY: The crew is now on the planet of the Amazons.  They are traditional Amazons of old earth.  Men slaves, woman in charge.  The auction is about to get underway in an hour.  But before it starts at the north end of the compound a demonstration of the Ore is about to begin.

Host Arlene says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin - Kill Two Birds with One Stone: Part V>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SEC_Ranaya says:
::next to the CSO::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::Walks around the Guest tent looking for the CO, who had just gone off with Tona, the Amazon queen::

ACTION:  The activity within the compound is becoming more frenzied.  Many of the races have figured out if they use one of their females as a lead they get further.  At the north end of the compound a crowd is gathering.  Klingon, Andorian, Cardassian, Breen, Romulans.  All waiting for the demonstration.

Host Arlene says:
<Ferengi> ::Bumps into the CSO.::  CSO:  Move out of the way.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Raynaya: Have you seen the Master?

Cassandra says:
::Carefully places a bowl with the ore on a small pedestal and takes a look at the crowd that gathered around.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::turns to the Ferengi:: Ferengi: Excuse you....  ::throws a hard glance::

SEC_Ranaya says:
::moves the CSO aside of the Ferengi with a gentle motion:: CSO: Master? ::Stops a giggle:: I guess we'd better look for her

Host Arlene says:
<Ferengi> ::Snarls at Wuer::

SEC_Ranaya says:
Ferengi: Move along ::puts a hand on her phaser in its holster::

Host Arlene says:
<Klingons> ::Impatient for the demonstration to begin.::  Cassandra:  Come on let's go.  We don't have all day!

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Did you see where Anny went, then?

Host Arlene says:
<Ferengi> ::Looks at the pistol::  Ranaya:  What are you going to do with that Human...?

SEC_Ranaya says:
SEC: No idea. I think something about the auction...I saw the boy with some food

Cassandra says:
::Puts on a very angry look and makes a dismissive gesture with her hand at the Klingon in the front.:: Klingon: Be patient warrior friend, in due time.

SEC_Ranaya says:
Ferengi: Nothing, if you move along or need I remind you of Rule of Acquisition #37 - Never jeopardize profit through stubbornness

Host Arlene says:
<Klingon> ::Laughs::  Cassandra:  I bet  you are pulling the preverbal wool over our eyes?

Cassandra says:
::Ignores the Klingon, while she takes one more look at the bowl, then back at the crowd and takes a few steps forward.:: All: All who gathered here. You are about to witness the secrets of this valuable ore.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Ferengi: And exactly how do you feel about dealing with the Amazonians, Mr Ferengi  ::snarls::

Host Arlene says:
<Ferengi> CSO:  They are female.  They don't have the lobs for this.

ACTION:  The crowd dies down and all eyes are glued to the front.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::Hopes that one of the Amazonians heard his comments and turns his attention to Cassandra::

SEC_Ranaya says:
SEC: I am female too but I had to remind you of the rules of acquisition didn't I...now move along before I give you a crash course on female rights

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Ferengi: How dare you make such despicable comments about our guests!

Host Arlene says:
<Amazon> ::Picks up the little Ferengi and tosses him into the crowd.  Squealing can be heard all around.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
::smiles:: CSO: Good, I didn’t want to make him squeal

Cassandra says:
::Now that she has all of the crowd's attention, she takes a few steps back and reaches into the bowl with one hand.:: All: Bare witness... ::She eyes the crew, not taking her hand out for a little while, to keep the excitement up.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
::turns her attention to Cassandra::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::whispers:: SEC: Also thins out the competition a little.

SEC_Ranaya says:
::whispers:: CSO: And I won't be struggling to see past his ears...

Cassandra says:
::Slowly and carefully she lifts a handful of the ore from the bowl. A little of the dusty substance slides through her fingers back into the bowl. With a slight touch of grace she brings her right hand to her left upper arm and starts to rub the Ore on her arm.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::watches in ore and wishes he had a tricorder::

ACTION:  As the crowd watches Cassandra, some noticed the hand that grabbed the ore was not visible.

Cassandra says:
::Along the entire part where she was rubbing the Ore, her arms starts to disappear as well. She carefully watches over the crowd while she continues to rub the Ore over the rest of her arm.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
::looks around at the crowd trying to analyse any threat::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: If you get chance request an inspection of merchandise, that's if Anya isn't getting a special display as we speak

Host Arlene says:
<Romulan> All:  THIS IS A PARLOUR TRICK!  They are trying to trick us!

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: This crowd might get a bit active.. ::points into a certain direction:: I found the quickest way out if we need it

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::Turns his attention back to the front and is astonished by what he sees::

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: I'd love to see that stuff

ACTION:  Murmuring can be heard throughout the crowd.  Some are astonished, some don't believe what they see like the Romulan.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Yep, make that a definite that we need to inspect this....

Cassandra says:
::As the Romulan starts to speak, she stops rubbing. Her entire arm has already become invisible and she talks some large steps and jumps of the podium. With the invisible hand she grabs the Romulan by his throat.:: Romulan: You dare to question the Ore.?

SEC_Ranaya says:
SEC: I'll see if I can get a sample once the display is over

Host Arlene says:
<Romulan> ::Choking he tries to respond.::

Cassandra says:
::Tilts her head slightly sideways.:: Romulan: Well? ::releases her grip a little.::

Host Arlene says:
<Romulan> ::Taking a deep breath barely succeeding.:: Cassandra:  I.....I..... ::Turning a little purple.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: If any of these people get their hands on this ore...::lowers her voice:: then it could prove to be a new problem in the quadrant

ACTION:  The Klingons yell and nod in approval of Cassandra’s actions.  Several of the men have decided they want her as a mate.

Cassandra says:
::She grunts a little and with a nice piece of force she pushes the Romulan on the ground.:: Romulan: I thought so. ::She looks around.:: All: Anyone else wish to question the Ore?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Hence why we were order to acquire it at almost any cost....

ACTION:  The Romulan has a new problem as people around him start to laugh.  The area where Cassandra had her hands is now invisible. It seems the Romulan's head is barely attached to his shoulders.

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: I just hope "almost any cost" will be enough

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: .... someone must have had intel. on this stuff

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::looks down at the Romulan and just manages to contain his laughter::

ACTION:  As Cassandra deals with the Romulan the pesky Ferengi snuck onto the stage.  Grabbing a bit of ore he rubs it over his body.  

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: Damn that Ferengi.

Cassandra says:
::She claps her hands as to clean her hands, but no one can see her do that. They can only hear it. She only then notices the Ferengi and hurries back onto the podium.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Shoot him already if you get a shot

SEC_Ranaya says:
::lifts up her phaser and fires before he disappears completely::

ACTION:  The Ferengi falls, he hadn't gotten to his legs nor his back.. the twitching looks too odd.

SEC_Ranaya says:
::puts the phaser back:: CSO: How's that? Not hard to aim for ears like that

Cassandra says:
::As she sees the Ferengi fall, she nearly trips over some of his invisible parts. Being able to stay on her feet she starts to reach for invisible arms.:: Ferengi: You stupid male. What did you 
think to accomplish with this thoughtless act?

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Excellent shot.... maybe we should try to look more it this ore then?

Host Arlene says:
<Ferengi> ::Squeals in reply to Cassandra::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::tries to move nearer to front of the crowd::

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: I just hope that using my phaser it doesn’t excite the crowd. ::pauses:: Lets try to get a more prime view... ::starts to move forward::

SEC_Ranaya says:
Cassandra: I will deal with the Ferengi! I like to finish off what I start!

ACTION:  Members of the Tal Shiar try to get closer also.  Along with some Orions.

SEC_Ranaya says:
::whispers:: CSO: If I can get a hold of that Ferengi he might still have some ore on him we can inspect.. ::moves closer to Cassandra:: Cassandra: Allow me to remove the Ferengi fool

Cassandra says:
::Spots the security officer Ranaya in the crowd and points at her.:: SEC: You, come over here.

SEC_Ranaya says:
CSO: Wait here, try to keep out of trouble ::smiles and walks through the crowd up to Cassandra::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
SEC: Good idea, remind her you are with Tona's good friend Anya if you have trouble ::stands just a little back from Ranaya::

Casandra says:
::Still holding... something of the Ferengi and looks at the SEC officer with a very strict look.:: SEC: Who are you?

SEC_Ranaya says:
Casandra: I am Ranaya...I was the one who shot this Ferengi. I wish to make him... ::pauses wondering how to word this to make sure she gets to take him:: ..my mate! :: tries not to shudder at the thought::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::while Ranaya goes to talk with Casandra, he looks around the room at who his present, his attention briefly distracted by some particularly nice looking green ladies::

Host Arlene says:
<Green Ladies> ::Sees a man looking at them and the look back.  Smiling coyly the motion for Wuer to come over.::

Casandra says:
::Frowns.:: SEC: Why would you want to make a low life Ferengi your mate? They're not even worth being a slave.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::decides to wander over, in hope of getting some information maybe::

Host Arlene says:
<Green Ladies>  ::They smile when the see Wuer coming over.  One of the ladies looks over to a man who gives them a nod.::

Casandra says:
::Feels the Ferengi getting a little more alive and grabs whatever she is holding from him a little tighter.:: SEC: Come one, I do not have all day. ::Takes a look at the rest of the restless crowd.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
Casandra: They are fools yes, but I could use his skills and his Latinum

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Green Ladies: I wish to extend a gesture from the Karemman people

Casandra says:
::Grunts at the SEC again and looks around, seeing more and more people approaching the podium.:: SEC: Take him and make him suffer.

Host Arlene says:
<Green ladies> CSO: And we wish to see that gesture... ::Saddles up beside him purring.  One finger moves down is chest.::

SEC_Ranaya says:
Casandra: Thank you! ::grabs hold of the Ferengi where he is visible and pulls him away from the crowd::

SEC_Ranaya says:
::looks over to where the CSO is supposed to have waited and can't see him::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::encourages the attention:: Green Ladies: My people are interested in your intentions at this auction, there are many agendas we hope that ours may be compatible

SEC_Ranaya says:
Ferengi: Don't try anything funny...they may be invisible but I know how to rip off your lobes if I have to. ::moves to the back of the room still in search of the CSO:: Out Loud: Damn that man

Host Arlene says:
<Green Ladies> CSO:  Oooooo a bargain.... you want to go into business with us?

Casandra says:
::As the SEC officer grabs the Ferengi, she rushes towards the bowl and covers it up with some cloth and holds it tight.::

ACTION:  It is now 15 mins before Auction time.  Several of the crowd begin moving to the auction area.

SEC_Ranaya says:
::looks for something to take a sample with off the Ferengi and spots the CSO::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Green Ladies: Lets say, I am considering options, I certainly feel that many people here may well have antagonistic agenda to our own

SEC_Ranaya says:
::moves up to the CSO with the Ferengi:: CSO: I could use your help a moment...

Host Arlene says:
<Green Ladies> ::Laugh:: CSO:  Oh my friend, I don't think there is an altoristic thought at all here.

SEC_Ranaya says:
::louder:: CSO: I need some help, please

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Green Ladies: Let me just say I got the impression from the Romulans that they may well have intentions to stop our two crews

Casandra says:
::tries to guard the bowl as best as she can.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
::turns to Ranaya:: Ranaya: Oh sorry....

SEC_Ranaya says:
::Rubs her hand on the invisible part of the Ferengi hoping to get a sample before it disappears:: CSO: We have a guest...I could use your assistance

Host Arlene says:
<Green Ladies> ::Ponders this thought.  CSO:  I think you maybe right.  Maybe you and Roger can come to some sort of deal.  ::One of the ladies look over at a Green Man standing off to the side.::

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
Green Ladies: I'm sorry Ladies, I need to assist with this, but I will certainly return to discuss business
