Ship's Log, Stardate 11906.09, Captain Tio Ayidee recording.  The plan is coming together.  Now we just need to ensure that all the steps are well readied and all the questions are well answered.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: OK, we've been setting the pieces for the last few days. What do we have set?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::going through his mental notes::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: I think we should lay out every detail in order to make sure we haven’t forgotten anything.

Host Virak says:
CNS: Usually a good idea.  I've got your data entered into the computers up there.  But how that helps is still unclear to me.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: So, what's our first step?  We, as the Orions request a withdrawal from the bank.  Then what?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Bank end is set up as well.  Fairly easy on this end.  Just wait until no one is looking and change the page.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think we should make a clear time table for the whole operation. We need to be precise.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: That's a good idea.  Leave no room for error.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: According to procedures once a request is made they set up an appointment time.  If it is transferable merchandise, as this would be, they get armed escort to get it to the satellite and bring it up.  Customer gets the goods by appointment, don't get let on surface if there is any way to avoid it.  Planetary policy, not bank on that one.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Are we going to need someone in orbit to pick it up?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes we will, which is why we need to make sure we are ready.  Once we send a contact up, chance of getting back down is almost nil.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think we should be ready to subdue the escort. I seriously doubt they will buy our story once we meet them.

Host Virak says:
All: Hold on, what?  Get up?  Get back down?  Who are you guys?  Are you guys off-worlders?  How the hades did you get here?  Or should I not ask?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Virak: Better not ask. And you are too deep now to worry about this.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Virak: We told you we could get things done.  Just trust us.

Host Virak says:
Self: Should have known it was some sort of foreign intrusion.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Virak: We may be intruding but we have no desire to invade.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Virak: Don't worry. Your planet is safe. And I think it will be a bit of a better place when we are finished.  ::sounds magnanimous::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Do we want to send one of us to the pickup or send someone from the...ship?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Virak: Our..."situation" does not so much involve your people or planet, rather one of your clients.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I think it should be one of us as we know all the details.  Someone from the ship would have to be briefed.

Host Virak says:
::Does Deerg equivalent of a head shake.::  All: Guess I should have figured it out with some of the stuff you guys said.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We need to make sure we know what we want before we contact the ship.  Insertion and extraction are the most dangerous time for discovery on this mission.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: How do you feel about being painted green?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: grrrrrrr.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CTO: Kermit the Klingon.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Not my cup of tea, but if there is no other option, I volunteer.

Host Virak says:
All: Klingons?  Well that makes things both more sensible and more frightening.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: The alteration wouldn't be difficult.  Bit of a risk but perhaps we should extract the team prior to pickup and just have us all go?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I would recommend the second option. Just in case something goes wrong and we need an emergency extraction

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: So we set the plan in motion, make the pickup request, get the contact beamed up and altered, and put a team in place to determine if attacking the escort would be easier?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: In my opinion the best plan. Simple and quick.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: I'm still unclear as to the order of events.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Need contact from the ship to request a pickup, can't do it here obviously.  Once they get the appointment set, we bring the pickup agent back to the ship.  From there we send the agent to the pickup, have a team monitor the bank to watch the escort and determine feasibility of acquiring it through force.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: We should avoid force if possible.

CTO_Q`ten says:
ALL: So are we ready to kick this targh?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Problem there, if we have a team in place to hit the escort and they deem the target ripe to take, what happens to the contact agent?  Would put him in a bad place, right?
CNS: There is a time for it, and Captain Marek's idea of a backup plan is good, but I think perhaps wait until after the pickup and hit on return trip if needed.

CTO_Q`ten says:
CO: We don't "hit" the escort unless we absolutely have to.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
All: This operation has to run like clockwork.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then who makes the pickup?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Darn I was expecting to do some shooting... ::looks around a with smirk on his face::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
Self: Why do I feel like we have a couple cogs missing?
