Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Rigel Agenda" 10501.16

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::hands the XO something to clean his face::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Thank you. ::grabs the Kleenex::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: One hour has passed since the encounter in the bar, dark clouds swarm overhead foreshadowing a day of intrigue and mystery

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Tell me about the contact you made at the bar.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::summarizes all the data she recorded on her tricorder during the encounter. Should it become useful::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks to the Captain::  CO: Sketek, shall we start moving to the weapons deal location?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Where is the location and do we need to make any preparations before going?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Decides to keep an eye on the XO today::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::Adjusts her pirate clothing, feeling somewhat uncomfortable without her uniform::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::cleans his blade with another Kleenex::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The weapons deal will be occurring on the other side of town in a warehouse near some remote landing bays, few people wander around there without a purpose

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Oh, yeah, Darklight, a klingon, asked if we were interested in providing security for him on a weapons transaction.  I told him yes.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Provide security? I think we can do that.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::listens to the CO and XO talking:: CEO/FCO: We shall be bodyguards then

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
CSO/FCO: It’s always been a dream of mine
'
XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: He gave me 50 thousand credits for the job.  An equal amount will be given later.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CO/XO: I'd recommend that at least one of us keep within earshot of the transaction; we could probably use the intelligence.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: The place is on the other side of town, perhaps we can get going...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: We could arrange two of us to be visible bodyguards while the rest blend in to nearby areas.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CEO: Let’s hope this is the only dream of yours that comes true

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CO::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Yes, let's go. Do you know if there is a fast way of transportation or is it close enough that we can just walk there?

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::catches on:: CO: And one of us will stay close, in the shadows... I like it.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::stays close to the CO and keeps an eye on the XO::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The crew walk through town towards the meeting place, large crowds slowly give way to smaller and smaller groups until only tumbleweeds blow across the abandoned streets near the meeting place, a deep pause passes in the air, then rain falls from the lonely skies, the crew finds itself awash in local weather, gloomy like the surface

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::looks up into the rain:: Self: I wish I had a hood.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: It is not common to see such large urban areas deserted.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::after answering the CO, walked till reaching the meeting place::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
FCO: ::sings softly:: I'm singing in the rain, I’m singing in the rain...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Unless the local population is strongly urged not to come here

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: That may be the reason.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stays alert::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: What is the plan, Sketek? We stay hidden?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The plan is that the XO will take one crewmember and meet with the Klingon directly. The CTO will take another crewmember to stay with direct visual contact while keeping themselves hidden.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: At least 2 of us should meet with Darklight, myself included...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to CO and XO::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::nods at the CO::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Understood.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The rest will stay within the immediate area ready to give assistance if needed.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: With your permission, I'd like to take our CNS, and leave the Security Chief with you and the rest of the crew...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Permission granted.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A small 2 inch hole in the street suddenly incinerates next to the XO's feet, ozone and sizzling crackles fill the whispering winds

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Thanks you! CNS: You're with me!

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::looks around, looking for the source of that blast, phaser at the ready::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::looks at the ground:: XO: I think that was meant for you Dirac

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::raises an eyebrow at the flaming hole::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The streets are ringed by empty storefronts and 5 floor buildings

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Senek, I'm sorry for not taking you as you'd be the logical choice.  But providing security to Sketek is also vital, as I'm sure you understand...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
All: I guess we shouldn't stay in the same place for long

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Let's go find some cover.

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: I believe the riskiest task is on the eavesdroppers, and I believe I should be one of those.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Frowns at the CNS's remark::  CNS: Are you equipped, knife, disruptor, ...?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Once the XO finds the Klingon, go nearby with a direct line of sight but keep yourself hidden.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::Takes cover in the shadows::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Take another officer with you too.

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: Moreover, the CNS accompanied you in the tavern for the longest time so he is the most logical choice to accompany you here.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Four holes appear in the wall above the XO's head

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::nods:: XO: Don't forget my little friend, the sword.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: It seems you have friends around here

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::draws his weapon and looks across from the apparent source of the holes::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Looks above::  CNS: What is this?  ::Takes his klingon tricorder and scans::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Draws his disruptor, thinks he is under ambush::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: I think someone hates you ::looks at the wall::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Retreats into the shadowy alleys:: FCO: Please follow me.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: And some enemies too...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::draws her weapon as well, hoping she can actually fire it if needed::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CTO: Got it.. I think we've got a sniper! Everybody hide!

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
::Draws disrupter::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Tries to enter an abandoned house:: CSO: Follow me.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A little red dot appears on the XO's head

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::follows the CTO, trying to keep an eye on what he thinks is the gunner::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Takes proper cover and tries to spot the sniper, draws his disruptor::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::pushes the XO away from the dot::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::grateful for the CO's suggestion:: CO: On my way :::follows him to the house::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::looks up to see where the dot comes from::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
FCO: If they was ever a time to fire, now is the time

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CTO: What I wouldn't give for a scope.. ::aims at the apparent sniper::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: We could really make a stand with these guys if we got rid of whoever is firing at us

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Loud: Darklight, it is I, Dirac!

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::takes a breath and holds it, steadying his arm:: CTO: Mind if I fire?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Crawling inside an abandoned house and looking for a window where he could return fire::

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: I see him clearly now.

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: Wait.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::just follows the CO, weapons fire is not really her thing::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The crew enter an abandoned storefront

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: What happen, why did you push me?

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: If he fires again, fire at will.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CTO: Got it.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Aims at the sniper as well::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Let us say you where marked by the red dot.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::finds a window and stays hidden, looking for the direction of the shots::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: From where?  ::starts scanning while ducking::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: Five full minutes pass...nothing

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Did he quit?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: I think we better get somewhere inside, unless you want to get killed ::Points upward to a building::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I don't know.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
Self: What's he waiting for?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Lets go swiftly, I don't like being a sitting duck...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Says with almost silent volume:: CTO: Status?

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: Strange..

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Everything is quiet.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Looks for an entrance to the building::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
All: We should get moving again. If we stay here we might get ambushed

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Let's make a run for the meeting place. Everyone keep your disruptors ready while we run.

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A man enters the area walking his rather large dog minding his own business on the opposite side of the street, an older human

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: See that human? Perhaps he is Darklight's contact.  Let's move inside.

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: I think we should go get the sniper before the transaction starts.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: I think Fireknife is still mad at you

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
Self: What is someone doing here

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: Too bad we can't listen while doing that, but safety goes first.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Indeed

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CTO: Agreed.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Maybe so, but we have the transaction to attend to.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
All: We should make our way to the roof and get a good look round

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: I'm ready ::looks at her disruptor then back up again::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the building, holding his tricorder in one hand, disruptor in the other::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Yes, but things are starting to get hot here

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* I'm going to take out the sniper with FCO.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* Good.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: I think right now we just need to get good cover. Let's find a nearby building to enter.

CTO Commander Senek says:
FCO: Let's hope the XO can keep his ears open. Let's go. ::Starts jogging towards the house where the sniper is by routes with as poor as possible view into the window::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CNS: We must be very careful... ::Moves in, still scanning::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Looks for a suitable building::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::follows the XO::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: As the XO begins to enter the building, the man picks up his dog, places the dog on his shoulder, snaps the head and ears back and pulls the right paw, moments later a photon tipped missile comes out of the dogs mouth flying towards the XO

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::covers the CTO until he enters the building, then follows::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CO: Perhaps a high location would be useful

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CSO: Yes.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::ducks:: CNS: Move!!!!!

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::listens to the explosion:: CO: Things are getting complicated

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::turns around and drops to the floor:: Self: Au

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::opens fire on the man:: CTO: Senek! The man!

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@CO: Sir, umm the dog just shot a missile at the XO

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CSO: That was a large blast. ::Hears a huge explosion::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Status?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Turns to see the dog-missile launcher combination fire::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: That building over there looks good. Let's run for it.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CO: I still sense all of the team. So there were no causalities

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Runs for a high building::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::charges the man, still firing::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Fires his disruptor at the man with the dog::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Makes a run with the CO::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: A huge explosion rocks the area as a photon tipped missile causes all the local windows to shatter, the building where the XO is begins to creek and collapse

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::runs after the captain and CEO, keeping her weapon at hand::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::raises, shaken, aims and shoot at the human:: CNS: Fire at will!  *CO* alive, but the human wants to kill me.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CNS: Run away!  ::jogs for the exit::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::gets up slowly:: Human: That hurts ::runs towards him taking out his weapon::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Enters the high building and runs for the second floor::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Does a quick scan of the floor with disrupter drawn::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CTO wings the bounty hunter

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::connects with their attacker and holds him down with phaser at his throat::
Human: Who sent you?!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$*CO* I request assistance, the building is collapsing and I don't like those missiles...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::just follows the CO up::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Jogs after FCO to take a closer look at the man::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::reaches the outside::  CNS: Tal, how are you?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::stands in front of the bounty hunter and looks at him:: Human: Next time you would have to be faster then that

Host Greed The Assassin says:
FCO: One million dollars on the Klingon, we'll split it

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: Let's take sniper positions and see if we can hit any assassin from the windows.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::pistol-whips him:: Greed: That wasn't the question!

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$XO: a bit of pain on my ego, that’s all

Host Greed The Assassin says:
FCO: Its on the bounty hunter's news, anonymous contract

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Looks out the window looking for the sniper::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CNS: Why is that?, you behaved like a warrior and you saved my life!

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
Greed: Where were you going to meet for the pickup?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::nods to the CO and finds a window facing the street::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: Let's aim there so that if something unexpected happens, they have some support.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::nods again::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Pointing in FCO's direction::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Keeps looking at the surroundings to spot any more threats::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$XO: I hate it when a bounty hunter wants to kill me as well. An assassin taking out an assassin, bad idea.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Looks at something in the end of the room:: Self: What’s this?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CNS: I think the crew got him, so let's go to the warehouse.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Walks over to the end of the room and picks up a rifle:: Team: I think you might want to see this

Host Greed The Assassin says:
All: There is no pickup its electronic, I mean, lets all split it

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$XO: Sure, lead the way

CTO Commander Senek says:
Greed: We have a better contract for ourselves.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$*CO* I'm keeping the plan: the CNS and I are going to the weapons deal. Please, back us up.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CEO: A rifle?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::looks at the CEO::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
Greed: You'd need proof that you killed him. Where you going to leave it?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CO/CEO: The sniper was here?

CTO Commander Senek says:
Greed: And if you value your life more than the million credits or whatever, you won't try anything anymore.

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@Team: It would look so

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::walks fast:: CNS: Let's not waste anymore time!

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@*XO* We are watching the street from the windows so as long as you stay outdoors, we can give support from here.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::follows the XO putting away his weapon::

Host Greed The Assassin says:
All: I have a video recorder which transmits images all bounty hunters have one

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@Team: Well, this should be a good position then.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$*CO* Understood.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$XO: fine with me

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::looks up to the CTO:: CTO: Think he's got it on him?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CEO: You can take the rifle because I think you can aim better with that one.

Host Greed The Assassin says:
Action: The XO and the CNS enter the meeting place

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@CO: Aye sir, ::grins and puts the rifle on his back::

Host Greed The Assassin says:
CTO: Ok just let me live , I'll leave

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::takes out his tricorder and scans::  Self: I'm not sure if this is helpful...

CTO Commander Senek says:
Greed: You said you have recorder to prove that you've killed your target.. give that to us and you may go.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::nods in agreement with the CO::

Host Greed The Assassin says:
Action: The Assassin gives up his recorder and flees

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Fires after the assassin with a stun setting::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
CTO: I hope somebody got his weapon... we should probably get going.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CO/CEO: A preliminary scan of that warehouse shows several types of weapons, both conventional and biological. There are also 2 distinct groups of people and one of the individuals appears to be holding a briefcase of solid gold

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$::waits::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::Walks to the Klingon Darklight::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::jumps:: CTO: Okay, that was unexpected.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Doesn't really care about hitting or not:: FCO: Yes, let's keep moving.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::starts jogging for the pickup location, drawing his tricorder and setting it for constant record, audio and video, then closes it to set on a ledge::

Host Greed The Assassin says:
Action: The CTO drops the Assassin who collapses in the distance in the brush

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CEO/CO: And all of them are armed with small hand weapons, probably concealed

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@CO/CSO: Sounds like a party of some sort.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CEO: Try to get the best position you can. They may really need our support.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$Darklight: Me and my partner are here...

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Heads for the pickup location and looks for a good place to take cover there::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::hides in the shadows as close as he can to Darklight::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Hides close to the FCO::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@CO: I'll go on the roof, best line of sight.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Moves himself to a sniper position too::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CEO: Ok. We'll stay here.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::looks around for another sniper::

Host Darklight the Klingon says:
XO: Welcome, we are about to commence our deal

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CEO/CO: Another group has entered the building, they seem to be holding illegal chemicals... drugs

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$Darklight: Qappla!

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@::Runs up to the roof and sets up the rifle::

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::sets up the tricorder, confirming that it's picking up what's being said, then draws a bead on the other party in the transaction::

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
*CTO*: I'm on the roof of a building with a sniper rifle, so please don't shoot me

Host Darklight the Klingon says:
Action: One party opens a suitcase full of Rigellian drugs, Darklight opens one package and scans it for purity

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@::stays at her window watching, recording::

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CEO* Good. Inform us if you see anything suspicious.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::eyes widen, hoping they weren't heard::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$Darklight: I thought this was a weapons deal...

Host Darklight the Klingon says:
XO: Its many things

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
@CEO/CO: I have more data on the drugs. Heavy stuff, they are rigellian stimulants. highly toxicto the brain, destroy neurons

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$Darklight: Good. ::Makes a bad face as he pretends to be a mercenary::  CNS: Look alive...

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
@CSO: Interesting.

FCO Lieutenant Andrews says:
::whispers:: CTO: I hope somebody's getting a picture of whatever's in that case...

CEO Lieutenant JG Conor says:
@CSO: Great, a drug deal. This is all we need.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
$XO: Alive and kicking ::stands next to the XO head bend down::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at FCO::

Host Darklight the Klingon says:
