Ship's Log, Stardate 11908.11, Captain Ayidee recording.  The crew has acquired the first vehicle we need for our backup plan, now we just need 1 more vehicle and we should be ready to carry out the plan and finish this mission.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In garage, still inspecting the vehicle.::  All: I think we should get started looking for the second vehicle.  Are we ready to go?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Sure but, go where?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I'm glad this type of dangerous vehicles were left behind in our society... ::raises an eyebrow::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CIV: It's not the vehicle that's dangerous, it's the operator you need to watch out for.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: To another dealer from the newspaper you bought.  There are more than a few listed within a short distance.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: internal combustion engine, minimal security devices.. these are mortal traps in my opinion...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV/ CNS: Agreed, and at least these are on the ground level instead of flying over head.  Errors are still costly, but more controllable..  Relatively.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Begins searching the newspaper::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs another paper and looks as well.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::nods:: I excuse myself for thinking out loud. It would be wise to focus on completing our mission than loosing time on personal opinions.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Finds several options.  Begins comparing addresses from the newspaper with the street map to see which is closest::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: There seem to be a few close by.  Any, what is the phrase, "trap your pupil"?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the CO:: All: Interesting modism...

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO/All:  There's one here, Jones Bros. Garage and Used Car Lot.  It's about a half kilometer away and it's on this same street.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: The Universal Translator doesn't do most planetary phrases justice.  I've spent some time trying to learn them.
CNS: Sounds good to me.  That was the one with the tent thing on their add?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Right.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: It is advisable not to use them if you do not fully understand them.. Many wars had been initiated by a simple bad use of words...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Did I misuse the phrase?  Normally people correct me if I miss use them.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Could not tell, sir.. I honestly do not know the meaning of it

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: I knew what you meant "catch your eye” is what I think you were going for, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: See?  I was close.
CNS: Thank you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Goes to bag and pulls out some more of the currency we were provided.::  All: Let's go see if we can find another vehicle.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::nods with his usual poker face::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Heads to the door.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
::Follows CO out the door and turns left::  All: It's this way.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stops from his right turn and follows in step with the CNS.::

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: Let us know if we're walking to fast for you, Commander.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'm good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: This may be a simulation, but this world could be far worse.  Gives you pause to think.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::follows the rest trying to figure out if they forgot something.. any loose end could end in a disastrous result for the training::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Based on your last purchase, any suggestions for how to handle ourselves?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: To not look like suckers to the salesman, act like we know what we're doing.  Show no weakness.  Sales people are like sharks.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Got it.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: And you don't look eager also... the main cause of instant price raise.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: That makes sense.  Supply and demand economics, right?
All: What color do we get?

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
CO: Black.  It's a good Klingon color.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Brilliant purple... ::smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  How about a color that doesn't makes us stand out?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I kind of like the purple idea, but yes, Miss Nash is right.  It would attract attention.

CNS_LtJg_Daniels says:
OPS: Such as?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  Whatever color that is most popular here, maybe white or black.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: So that's 2 for black.  Does make sense for a "work vehicle."

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: or plain white
