Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Through the looking Glass" 10510.23

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::on the bridge, reading the info regarding the Black Hand group::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, may I have a word with you?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Set up a holodeck environment where the people from the planet would feel safe and all crewmembers entering the simulation will look like generic humans.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::sits at his console, wondering what they're going to do::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: What is it?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: Aye sir, ::begins working on a holodeck program::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::talks in a whisper:: CO: Sir, I think that to play it safe we should need a backup plan.  Perhaps one where the assassination plotters are stunned and placed under arrest...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Because, if plan A fails, all those lives will be lost... Ours included.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: We can't make secret assassinations. Either we must do it in public or then not do it at all.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Secret action doesn't work in this situation.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: I've given it some thought, Captain, and I agree with you.  But if we gather enough proof, we can deploy them on the planet's news/press.  If Black Hand losses is exposed, they’ll cease to function as un underground group.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: I think that this will work as an alternative plan.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: There really is not enough time to wait for a change of public opinion. We are acting in a timeframe where we measure things in hours and minutes, not in days and months.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: I'm convinced that with the appropriate exposure, the planet's president will arrest Black Hand immediately.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Anyway, I'd like you and CEO to accompany me when we go talk to the humans of the planet.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Aye, aye, Sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::understands that the time for debate is over, gets up and walks to the OPS console::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::looks up to the XO as he approaches::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
OPS: Ensign Nishtrra, do you have the Statue on SRS?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: You need to be prepared to help the planet's warp scientists with whatever problems they currently have.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: Aye sir

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::checks his console:: XO: Yesh shirr. ::pulls up the display::

CO Captain Sketek says:
OPS: Take the planet's president and some key warp scientists and engineers to a transporter lock.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
CO: Aye shirr. ::locks onto the president and some scientists and engineers:: Lock achieved.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::reads the sensors data::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Scene: The Statue is as silent and as motionless as ever

XO Commander Z’heta says:
OPS: I guess the Statue meant it when it said that we wouldn't have any help

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
XO: It would appearr sho.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CEO: Let's go to the holodeck. OPS: Be ready to engage the transporters from my order.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
OPS: At least its finger isn't pointing down.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
CO: Aye shirr.

CO Captain Sketek says:
OPS: While we are on the holodeck, you have the bridge.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
CO: Underrshtood.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Stops reading the console:: CO: At once, Sir.

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves the bridge and takes a turbolift to holodeck one::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Follows the CO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Follows the CO on the TL::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::decides to remain at his post, in order to keep a better eye on the statue::

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Background: Black Hand agents prepare for the assassination

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CEO: The people will definitely be frightened so the first thing we should do is to get everyone to calm down.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CEO: In a situation like this, I wish we could go with our counsellor.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: Indeed, it could help the situation

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CO:: CEO: Conor, did you finish the holoprojection routine around us?  Will we look like humans?

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CEO: In the holodeck program we will look like normal humans. We must not reveal our true origins but we will tell them directly that we are from "outer space", as they would say.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Yes sir, we should appear as humans to them

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Good work.  ::smiles::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Enters the holodeck::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::lets the CEO enter first and follows them both into the Holodeck::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Walks in after the CO::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::checks on his transporter locks, making sure that their targets are alone and won't be seen 'disappearing'::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Start the program.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
Computer: Start program illusion 101

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: The CEO program runs perfectly

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Watches as the program starts and he takes a human appearance.

CO Captain Sketek says:
*OPS* Engage the transporters.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
*CO*: Aye shirr. Enerrgizhing. ::activates the transition coils::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Watches has he looks like a blonde femme fatale:: Computer: give me a male appearance

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Bugs in the program ::nods::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: No worries, I understand.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Although, it really does suit you.

Host Planet President says:
Action: The President and some warp scientists appear, somewhat  confused

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::maintains an open comm link and watches the proceedings on his console::

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: Welcome. You must be confused and perhaps frightened but you are in a safe environment.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CEO's comment::

Host Planet President says:
<OPS_Transporter_Panel> *Buffer filter Alert* One ceremonial dagger filtered out

Host Planet President says:
CO: Who are you?

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: I am an alien from outer space and you are aboard our space ship.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::acting with discretion:: *OPS* All the weapons were filtered on the transporter buffer, weren't they? I mean, is there an armed bodyguard of the President here, with us?

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::perks his ears, and activates the UT relay in the XO's ear:: *XO*: Shirr, shomeone we beamed in wash carrrying a weapon. A cherremonial daggerr.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*OPS* Acknowledged.  Z'heta out

Host Planet President says:
CO: This is ridiculous I'm leaving ::walks to the nearest door::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Change the program to a desert environment.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Presses a few buttons on the PADD::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
President: Relax, we mean you no harm.

Host Planet President says:
Scene: As the scene becomes a desert the President becomes convinced, he narrows his eyes, what do you want?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at the troubled scientists::  Scientists: Calm down, this isn't magic.  Just some technology at work.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: This is a simulation.

Host Planet President says:
Action: One of the scientists moves close to the president

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: We are here to warn you about a great danger to your world.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::presses a few buttons on the padd to create a globe with a updating image of their planet::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::senses bad vibes and decides to scan one by one of the scientists::

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: You are about to enter a terrible war that will destroy your planet entirely.

Host Planet President says:
::looks confused::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CEO: Conor, can you detect a Black Hand member?~~~

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
~~~XO: There is something odd about them, but I'm not sure exactly what~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::moves away just a bit and whispers:: *OPS* to whom belonged that dagger you filtered?

Host Planet President says:
Action: A scientist attempts to casually put his hand on the President's shoulder

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
*XO*: No way of knowing, shirr, the computerr didn't rrecorrd it. I believe it'sh--it'sh got to be him! That schientisht!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::runs to the Scientist:: CEO: Grab him!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, this is the assassin!

Host Planet President says:
<Scientist>All: Assassin? Help I'm being attacked!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::puts more strength on his grip and tries to scan his emotions, just to be sure::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Beam that man to our brig.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
President: Not anymore, Mr President

Host Planet President says:
CO: Release that man!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Presses a few more buttons and transports the man to the brig::

Host Planet President says:
CO: Now you kidnap our people and what experiment on them?!!

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: There have been plans for your assassination. I guess that man saw his chance coming.

Host Planet President says:
CO: I don’t believe you

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::stands normally has the assassin beams out::

Host Planet President says:
CO: I demand to have him released before we continue

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: Fine. CEO: Beam him back.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Beams the man back::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
President: You will have all the evidences you'll need, Sir.  He really was going to kill you.  Why do you think we "abducted" you?  To save you, of course.

Host Planet President says:
<Scientist>President: This is outrageous these evil aliens threaten us with their lies !

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::thinks:: *TR2*: Chief, I need you to rrematerrialishe the daggerr that'sh in the bufferr, into a trranshparrent aluminum cashe, then brring it to the Holodeck immediately.

CO Captain Sketek says:

Host Planet President says:
CO: Never heard of them

Host Planet President says:
<Scientist> ::moves close to the President::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
Scientist_assassin: Stop right there!

Host Planet President says:

CEO: This is getting stupid. Erect force fields to prevent each one of them from touching each other.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*OPS*: Good work

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Contains all the scientists in separate forcefields::

Host Planet President says:
Action: The scientist attempts to cut the President with his fingernail but bounces off the forcefield

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
Self: Interesting...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, our OPS is beaming in the dagger that was meant to kill the President.  It has some fingerprints, I think, and also DNA from the assassin.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
<TR_Chief> ::enters the Holodeck with the dagger in a box::

Host Planet President says:
::backs away from the scientist::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Excellent.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
