Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Federation Vice" 10706.10
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We resume and rejoin our heroes at the Medical facility after having interviewed the crew
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: So, we heard the news about Linda Locke.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The freighter is still docked at the medical facility
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: She has gotten rather far, very quickly, especially given the investigation.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: She is dead but someone has taken her identity and is planning to use her power in the Federation Council.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: So, any ideas what to do?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: Inform the powers that be?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: We have many options. That is the most obvious one.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: We could simply track down the fake councilmember and interrogate her.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: She'd be connected, any official investigation she would end up hearing about
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods at the engineer.  Half joking::  CEO: How about just absconding with her.  That would be the easiest.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: We have access to a starship and transporters. Our imagination is the limit here.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
All: Do we have any physical samples of whoever we are dealing with?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: We have the stuff collected from the cave under what’s left of the gun store
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Not that I know of. Perhaps we should first get scans of the creature to get a good idea of what we are dealing with.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV/CEO: Actually, the CEO is right, we have some evidence.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: That is of the real Locke, not the imposter.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: We have stuff from the imposters cave and the burnt remains of the real one
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: I don't know.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Have we analyzed the evidence?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: It's currently being scanned
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: The evidence is still untouched. We left here in such a hurry.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: Let me go over what we have then and I will see if I can lend a hand in that area.  No promises though.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: However, it would be still prudent to manually look over to see if the automated scans missed anything
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Let's go back to Earth with Andromeda. While we are on our way, go take a quick look at the evidence and do some preliminary analysis.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Give myself and the CTO a wide berth and we'll have her back here before anyone notices she's missing
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CTO::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: I am not sure about that...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: lightly smiles saying nothing.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Let's get back on Andromeda first.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*Andromeda* Four to beam directly to the bridge.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: quietly::  CEO: A pity we cannot do anything for those here who are affected.  Just not enough time.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Crew return to the Andromeda bridge
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CIV::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
FCO: Take a course back to Earth orbit, full impulse power.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
<FCO> CO: Aye.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Do you think that you are capable of a covert operation with the objective of imprisoning Linda Locke?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: Do we have any of the evidence aboard or do we need to retrieve it from the lab?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda's engines flare to life and she leaves Jupiter's orbit heading to Earth
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: It's probably in one of the cargo bays, I'll check the logs for you
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Disappearance of a Councilmember won't stay secret for long in any case, but don't think it's impossible for us to capture her.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: Then I will head down for med lab and get set up.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
I'm sure the CIV could ...mock-up a replacement....
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Fine.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: You are assigned to a covert operation with the objective of capturing the creature who is appearing as Linda Locke.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Pauses considering::  CEO: Mock-up replacement?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: If you are in risk, pull back and avoid loss of life.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: This needs to be a clean and precise operation.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: We do have a matching corpse...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: shakes her head, still not understanding.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Touch up the body so it looks like a few days old, swap them.... or we could just beam it straight into next council meeting.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: Ahhh... I could probably do something.  But it would not hold for long under an examiner, anymore then it would full me once I got my hands on it.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
<full = fool>
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: We are soon reaching the Earth orbit. Once we are in orbit, you are free to leave for your mission.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Some planning is needed before we can go.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: We'd better start thinking of a plan.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda heads towards Earth ETA 10 minutes
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
All: I will get to work on my simulacrum.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Good.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: Our ETA is ten minutes.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: You are free to use any equipment we have.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::smiles::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: With a nod, leaves the group, her mind already working on how to cover their actions for as long as possible.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Shakes her head as the lift drops her off near medical.  This was not exactly covered in any classes she took.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: In any case, as soon as we have captured the imposter, I think it'd be best to contact some higher ups about the operation.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: I will have to think about that in advance. This is a very complex issue in any case.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda achieves orbit
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: You are free to go once you are ready.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO/CTO: I'm going to grab some supplies, need anything while I'm out shopping?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
::In the med lab, she pulls up medical information on Linda Locke.  What a sad ending for a federation officer.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Briefly wonders if what they are doing is even legal.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Sitting on Captain's chair, looking at Earth from the main screen::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Or about to do.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: As for weapons, I don't think we need anything special. Surprise is our main weapon.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CTO and heads into the TL:: TL: Main engineering
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CEO*: You gents know, this is going to take time... to create this at least so it will fool them long enough.  Otherwise... you could... hmmm... what about just creating a holo image of her leaving some place and... :.shrugs to herself.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Starts searching Starfleet and Intelligence databases for the place of residence of Councilmember Locke::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
*CIV* It wouldn't have to be perfect, just to throw someone off for a few hours
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The computer provides the location, it is an estate located overlooking San Francisco bay
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CEO*: Then it could be in any condition... we just want it seeded with her DNA?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The complex is shielded from transporter signals to prevent abductions
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: There is high security around the perimeter
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: There are motion sensors and canine patrols
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Scans the estate, looks for vehicles::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: It is an estate which demonstrates wealth
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
*CIV* Just ensure there is enough genetic material to identify her, that would be great
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are several hover vehicles on the estate
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are numerous lifesigns on the estate including staff and security
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CEO*: I think I can do that...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: to herself::  Just do not put that in my record thank you...
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Packs a bag full of various electronic equipment and heads to the armoury::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Stands up and moves over to one of the cabinets and begins having the replicator start replicating a skeleton with the correct dimensions.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Does legal research to find similar issues in Starfleet or SFI history of capturing Federation councilmembers::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Heading into the main area, locates the synthoskin and other material.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Calls for two of the medtechs to join her.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: When they ask her what she is doing, she mumbles she needs a new doll as she begins to piece the thing together.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: How covert do we need the operation to be?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Ignores the look the two techs give each other then at her.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: You must not get caught so you need to escape.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: And we need to have some time here in Andromeda to ask her questions.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Packs up a bag full of various grenades and other explosives::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Captain does not find any legal precedent which would justify the abduction and interrogation of a High Federation official, if discovered it would be an act of terrorism
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Grabs a few signal jammers on the way out::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: After giving them their instructions, she moves to the other end of the lab and works on replicating seudo DNA from the records.  It would never pass for long, but just long enough to confuse them... she hoped.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Realizes that there will be no official support for this abduction::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: However, if it can be proven that the Councilwoman is an imposter that would technically mean you didn’t kidnap a councilman
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Without at least implicit support from Starfleet, the operation is just as difficult as it would be in a hostile area.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: That is, very risky and dangerous.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Yes, I understand.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Walks over to the forming simulacrum and literally begins to paint it with DNA.::  Techs:  Don't ask... you really do not want to know.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: This abduction is obviously a great risk but I don't see other ways to address this issue at the moment.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: could really use the skull they have, but at the same time, if they are caught, it is their one indisputable peice of evidence.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: At best, we could make her position uncomfortable by spreading our evidence far enough but even then there is little chance of actually capturing her.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Hooks up a line with nominal blood with the synth DNA.  Thankfully the dead do not bleed.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I don't need official support. Just that the closest battleships don't attack us if we're tracked back to the Andromeda.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Our shields will hold, no worries.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: And if we're going to bring her here, I think it's quite safe to assume that someone'll notice.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: In any case, attacking a Federation starship is something Federation is very unlikely to do.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Quietly, quickly and some what efficiently they work.::
 
Host Energy_Being says:
::in his quarters reading a magazine::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Do you wish to take the energy being with you?
 
Host Energy_Being says:
::eats a bon bon::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I had almost forgotten about him.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: You are free to take him to your mission if he agrees.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Stepping back she looks at their 'growing' creation, frowning.  Then suddenly::  Hair... :: she nabs the medical file in passing to the replicator.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: to herself::  Whatever did they do before replicators?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: He might prove useful. And there might be more to him than we know.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Then contact him.
Host Energy_Being says:
