<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Knowing the Captain and crew were somewhere between the ceremony building they were at and the place they're staying, Wally searches the streets and alleys for his crew mates, using a Tricorder, Phaser in hand::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Grimaces and shouts:: All: Who's not dead? Sound off!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sitting in the Korin street, waiting for the effect to wear off.  Also trying to figure out just how any of this makes sense, humans?  Working with Korin?::

ACTION: Daniels and the other security teams find the Captain's team, sans Q'ten, lying on the ground just shy of an intersection of streets.

ACTION: Lights are quite dim in the area, and Nadi is similarly incapacitated on the ground with them

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::still unconscious but in a dream state she sees the beginnings of a bright white light.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to the Captain::  CO: Sir, what happened?  ::Kneels by the CO but looks to see how Talora is::

ACTION: Medics begin kneeling by the crew members, the CO and OPS first, running scans to determine what's affecting them.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> CNS: Security says he called about being under attack, they came and got any of us trained in medical stuff...at all.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I'm here, Doctor.

Host Nadi says:
::Sniffles slightly, but speaks up:: CMO: I'm here.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Let's the medical crew do their thing, goes to CMO and put her head on his lap and off the ground::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We came across a mugging, or so it seemed.  But the muggers were armed, some sort of paralytic beam.

Host SMLea says:
<MO>::Closes his Tricorder and applies a hypospray to the CO's neck:: CO: Careful, Sir...

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Sighs softly:: CNS: Thank you...

Host SMLea says:
<MO2>::Nods to the MO, then applies the same hypo to OPS's neck, before moving over to the CMO::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Are they still in the area?  ::Looks around::  I could try and hunt them down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Tries to nod, then speaks.::  MO: Understood.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
YELLS: Over here!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: No idea, I can only see about straight ahead.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
MO2: Be careful with her.

Host SMLea says:
<MO>::Hears Q'ten's voice, and runs off toward him, away from the rest of the group::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Feels the effects of the hypos start to kick in.::  CNS: Have the Korin authorities been contacted yet?

Host SMLea says:
<MO2>::Smiles:: CNS: Of course.  ::Dials the same dosage into the hypo, and carefully applies it to Talora's neck:: CMO: Sorry, ma'am.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she slowly begins to regain consciousness and she mumbles the name of her childhood best friend, Jorma::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: I believe so, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Slowly reaches up and stretches her neck:: MO2: Oh no worries. ::Smiles lightly::

Host SMLea says:
<MO>::Climbs up the roof, still looking for Q'ten, then finds him and kneels beside:: CTO: Sir!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Are you okay?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Are they here yet?  ::Tries to look around.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: They are on their way, Sir.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: I know I killed him. How did he just walk away?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods and sits up:: CNS: I'm fine...It was just a stun. ::Sighs:: I should've sought cover first ::Shakes her head:: I'm loosing my edge.

Host SMLea says:
<MO>CTO: I...I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Sir.  Just a moment... ::Kneels beside Q'ten, and applies the hypospray to his neck::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: No one has a Daq'taH buried square in the chest and walks away!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Slowly ::Helps her sit up::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she slowly sits up and looks around cautiously.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Not just a stun.  Stuns knock you out.  I didn't lose a bloody, uncomfortable minute.

Host SMLea says:
<MO2>::Leaves the CMO in the CNS's hands - quite literally, and moves beside the Korin, kneeling down to apply a hypospray to the young lady's neck::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: ::Points to where he knows the Korin was laying:: He was right there! I killed him just before I was hit, and yet he simply pulled my blade from his chest and walked away.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods again:: CO: Sir...We've been attacked. Since there's suspected human and Korin involvement on this attack, this isn't an isolated incident...it's going to happen again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Shrugs and sits a bit more comfortably.::  CMO: You said the first victim,  there was some "Starfleet" like things about him, but not.  What did you mean by that?

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Runs up to the scene, a half-dozen officers behind him::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Slowly tries to sit up::

Host SMLea says:
<MO>CTO: This weapon, sir?  ::Gestures toward the bloodied blade::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO:  Yes that is my blade. ::reaches for it with an unsteady hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I wish I could disagree, but knowing why might tell us a bit more about how and when.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Then first we need to learn who the victim is.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Leans against the CNS, grateful for the support:: CO: The device that killed him...it was similar to a Starfleet device, but could very well be a blend of Federation and Korin technology. Much like the paralyzing we experienced. It could be a blend of tech.

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Begins barking orders:: Team: Secure the perimeter, get investigations here, I want a complete record of all participants, hold everyone for questioning, prepare to canvas the neighborhood---I don't care if they're asleep!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO>  CNS: Yes sir, I'm on it.  ::Moves to the victim and tries to find any sort of identification or identifying equipment.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Loves having Talora in his arms and having it be in the line of duty::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: I swear when I catch that Hugh'tegh HaDIbaH again he will not get up a second time!

ACTION: The SO looks for the victim, but finds no one but the CO's team and Nadi, on the ground.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::the Med Tech who remained near her helped her sit up in a more comfortable position.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sits a bit straighter.::  Shault_Rannit: I am this detachment's Commanding officer, we will work with you.  What should we call you, sir?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
OPS: Are you okay, Commander?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> All: Um...what victim, no one but us here, if us includes Nadi.  If not it's just us and Nadi.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'll be fine, just need a moment to regain my bearings.

Host Shault_Rannit says:
CO: I am the Shault of this neighborhood. My sincerest apologies for our belated arrival - the team was just handling an incident on the other side of the district.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Didn't you say someone was mugged?

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Tries to get to his feet::

Host SMLea says:
<MO>CTO: Careful, Sir.   And...I saw a cloak while I was running here...was that yours?

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: the Captain and the others? Are they all right?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: I've been around enough to know a law keeper can not anticipate every threat.  I just want to figure out what we walked in to.

Host Nadi says:
::Carefully sits up::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It looked like that, over there...  ::After a slight bit of looking about and delay, points where the other victim was.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Was he dead?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> ::Pulls out a Tricorder and looks for signs of a body laying here recently.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I believe so.  
CMO: Doctor?  The victim was dead, correct?

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: The cloak was in my possession, but it belonged to the Korin nuch who attacked us.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: Completely.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO/CMO: Could someone have stolen the body?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Possible, not sure what we're dealing with.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
MO: take me to Captain Ayidee

Host SMLea says:
<MO>CTO: This way, Sir.  ::Guides the CTO down off the building::

Host Nadi says:
::Stays seated, out of the way, watching what happens::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> All: Um, there may have been someone here, ground is warmer, if it was a human, probably moved just a few minutes ago.

Host SMLea says:
<Officer 2>::Approaches Nadi and begins questioning her quietly::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::grabs the Korin cloak along the way::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: First off, what do you need from us?

ACTION: Two officers can be seen beginning to knock on doors in the area, while two more begin to cordon off the area.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: Any signs of who might have taken the body?

Host Shalt_Rannit says:
CO: If your team would prepare full statements of events for my officers—

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: Of course.

ACTION: Ambassador Krellit, uniform cloaked in a robe, rushes onto the scene.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, I regret that I have failed in my duties to protect you and the rest of the away team.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<SO> CNS: We can try, but this is a very busy street.  So many foot prints, getting a clean set we can track would be...well, beyond what our Tricorders could do.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Quickly looks the Ambassador over, trying to find anything out of the ordinary::

Host Ambassador_Krellit says:
::Approaches Ayidee and the Shault:: CO/Shault: What happened?!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SO: Do the best you can.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: It goes both ways, Ensign.  They knew what they were doing.  ::Tries to stand and look about.::  Let's focus on what we can learn about the "why"?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: We stumbled on some sort of ambush.  Lone victim, appeared human.  We tried to help and were hit by some strange weapon...and strange other things are attached to the event already.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: You okay?

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir. One thing sir...::holds up the cloak he took off the Korin:: I have his stench. We can track him... at least the Korin.

Host Ambassador_Krellit says:
::Very keenly:: CO: Who were the attackers?

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: I have survived, and appear to be in one piece.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We can try, at least worth the effort.  But it is evidence, it must go to the Shault.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Good to know.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: ::Smiles:: You missed the fun!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: It appears so.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Of course sir. ::Turns to the Shault and hold the cloak out for him to take::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: A human and a Korin, at least they appeared to be.  Strange combo, as I was under the impression that all humans on this world came on our shuttle craft.

Host Ambassador_Krellit says:
CO: Well, I suppose that's what happened when you assume - you risk starting an interstellar incident.  
::Snaps around, to face the Shault directly:: Shault: The Federation and Starfleet shall of course provide full cooperation and assistance in this matter, Shault, until it has been resolved to your satisfaction. It is, of course of utmost importance to us to maintain good relations between our two peoples...as well as to ensure the safety of all involved.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: We started nothing, we moved to assist a being in distress.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Frowns and watches this situation play out.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::watching the events unfold in front of her, it's almost like they are being blamed for the mishap that rendered her unconscious::

Host Ambassador_Krellit says:
CO: You are not this world's peace-keeping force, yet you interfered with matters on their planet without their authorization. Now we're -asking- for said authorization. Next time—

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Cuts off the ambassador sternly:: Ambassador: Ma'am, I appreciate what I -think- you're trying to do, but these people were in no way out of line, and I plan to include that fact in my report. That your people would try to help someone -anyone- out, in a public place, is to their credit. 

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Smiles::

Host Shault_Rannit says:
Ambassador: Now, I have no patience for your diplomatic whining, so please leave my crime scene and let us get back to work. Ma'am.  ::Smiles politely, but firmly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: A being was under attack.  The authorities would have been called as soon as it was possible to do so...as they were.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Decides he likes Shault Rannit::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Shoots the Ambassador a brief "so there!" look as he turns his back on her.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: Have there been other assaults on visitors to Korin?  Should we increase or threat readiness or was this an isolated incident?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers softly:: CMO: Glad someone around here can put the Ambassador in her place.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods slowly::

Host Ambassador_Krellit says:
::Maintains a formal expression as she nods to Shault, then shifts to an imperious glance at Ayidee:: CO: We -will- talk later, Captain.   ::Turns and leaves the intersection, heading back for the central government buildings::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ambassador: Obviously we will.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Turns to the CNS and in a mocking voice:: CNS: We WILL talk later, Captain.

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Shakes his head as the Ambassador leaves, then give Ayidee his full attention:: CO: No, we haven't had any other physical assaults. We've -have- been dealing with a series of theft, however, and—

Host SMLea says:
<Officer>::Calls out:: Shault: Sir, another report, in the Green district!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Said discretely::  CTO: I wonder if the Korin have a weapon that would just paralyze her mouth?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: We will forward our reports to you shortly, as well as our weapon discharge reports and our Tricorder readings of the victim.

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Curses under his breath:: CO: I have to go. My second will finish here, collect your statements, and get the evidence processed. I appreciate any assistance you can offer, Commander. Our force is stretched a little thin - this isn't typically a high-crime district.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Shault: I understand, Shault Rannit.  Anything we can do to assist, let us know.

Host Shault_Rannit says:
::Nods:: CO: But please...don't worry about it too much. Enjoy the festival!  ::Bows once, then turns to follow after the officer that called in the theft in green::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: We could always experiment and find out.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Hears Shault say they'd appreciate any assistance:: CTO/CMO: Looks like we've been hired to investigate this robbery theft ring.  Sounds like fun.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Smiles slightly:: CNS: Interesting idea of fun.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Right now we are witnesses until further notice.  Any and all information we have will be forwarded.
CMO: Do you have Tricorder readings of the victim we tried to assist?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: Oh you like getting into trouble as much as me, more I'd say.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: I can hardly wait. I WILL track down that Korin nuch and find out how he survived my blade.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: Yes I do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: That is a good start at least.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Security: I also need someone to check the shuttles.  At least 4 man team, but for some reason I couldn't contact the shuttle's computer to enable quick egress.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I didn't hear about that.  You stabbed him and he walked away?  Maybe the victim walked away too.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: :: Holding up his bloody Daq'taH for all to see:: I buried my blade to the hilt in his chest, yet he merely pulled it from his chest and walked away.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CNS: granted his walk did not seem as steady as it was prior... but still.

Host Nadi says:
::Sees and hears the CTO:: CTO: His chest?  ::Gestures around her upper chest:: CTO: This area?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: That's amazing healing power.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Nadi::Points to the same place on his own chest:: Here in the center of his chest.

Host Nadi says:
::Blushes a little::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks at Nadi, she knows something we don't::

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
Nadi: Is there something I should know?

Host Nadi says:
::Hesitantly:: CTO: On the Korin male, that area houses the reproductive organs.  

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self: Ouch!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Four Security, go to check the shuttle craft.  The rest of us are back up.  Mister Q'Ten, let's see if you can follow that scent.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: You got him in the knackersack.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
::Looks from Nadi to CNS Daniels and back again:: Nadi: how does that wor... never mind!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Counselor, when you have time, I would like to have a session with you.  It's important I get something out in the open.

Host Nadi says:
::Blushes brighter, and looks away, staring at her feet::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to OPS:: OPS: Good I wanted to talk to you too, about Jorma.

CTO_ENS_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir.  :Begins sniffing the air, and then crouches down to the street and starts sniffing::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Thanks.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Looks at Nadi, with a sudden look of understanding:: Nadi: Oh....so that's why...::Coughs:: Never mind.

Host Nadi says:
::Now bright-faced enough to signal passing shuttlecraft::
