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

Host CSI_Teams says:
::Gathered outside, waiting on the all clear from inside before moving forward.::

Host Travis says:
::Cleaning the bar, thinking this has been a good day for business so far. Might be a good day for tips!::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO/SO: Take the crime scene folk and get started upstairs.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::Sets her drink down on the table, grabs her satchel and heads to get the CSI team.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Have your people take Mister Strongjaw into custody.  Return with him to the ship and put him in the brig.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Gets to the door and motions the CSI team in.::

Host CSI_Teams says:
::At the direction, enters the establishment.:: CEO/ SO: Word is we're headed upstairs?  Which way is up?  Not literally, of course, in this establishment.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Gets up from the table and heads for the stairs to Strongjaw's room, or what is left of it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSI Team:  This way, I'll lead the way.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Lt. LVor, the Captain's safety is your responsibility.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CEO:  Aye Sir!  Understood ::looks over at the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: Mister Strongjaw, I'm going to need you to go with these people.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
Grogan: Sir, if you don't mind, can we have our team take a look at the damage to the room you mentioned?

Host Grogan says:
SO: Eh?  What? Oh, sure.  If you think you can help I've got no problems.  Top of the stairs, second room on your right.  Easy to find, just a bead curtain over the door.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Grogan: We suspect some illegal activity here.  We're bringing Strongjaw with us for questioning.

Host Grogan says:
CO: Really? I mean I know he's made a few bad choices.  Oh boy, yeah, that's fine.  Feel free to take a look around, if you need to get anywhere locked, just let me know.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Grogan: Thanks for your cooperation.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Proceed.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Heads up the stairs to catch up with the CSI team.:: CEO: We're good, second room on the right.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Places his hand on Strongjaw's shoulder, and advises him that he is under arrest for Suspicion of Grand Theft, Using Classified Equipment in the committing of a felony Theft case against numerous entities and agencies ::Looks at the L/E TO's who take Strongjaw into custody::

Host Travis says:
::Looks shocked and a bit afraid.:: All: What-ified? I didn't...wait.  I want my lawyer.  Isn't that what I'm s'posed to say?

INFO: The room is easily identified, seperated from the hall by a simple bead curtain.  A quick look inside shows a bowl-shaped depression where the floor, much of the joists and several sections of piping and wiring are missing.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Isaac points out to the CSI Team the areas of the room they should focus on in collecting evidentiary scans and tests::

Host CSI_Teams says:
::Spread about the room, looking for bits of evidence and trying to figure out what happened to patch up the damage post event.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Standing behind the CSI Team as they slowly enter, runs a quick Tricorder scan.:: CEO: As expected, it's a match.  Showing signs of Dimensional Shift Transport.  Rough form, so to speak, but got the job done.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Looks at Lt. Trix, as the CSI Team begins their collections and scans::

Host Travis says:
Grogan: Help, I need you. It's my right to a lawyer so you can come also, right?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: A lawyer can be arranged.

Host Grogan says:
::Slaps forehead.:: Travis: I've told you this a dozen times. I'm your boss. I'm your landlord. I am not your lawyer.  But I can get Douglas...if he's up to this.

Host Grogan says:
CO: How serious are we talking here?  His usual lawyer is good for misdemeanors and mediation, but guessing he's not going to be up to this, is he?

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Grogan: We're mostly bringing him in for questioning.  If he cooperates, he may not even need a lawyer.

Host Grogan says:
CO: All right. Not that I'm asking, don't want to interfere, but I'm guessing it's Riegel.  That no good <word missed by Universal Translator>, every time he shows up there's trouble.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: No formal charges are being made at this time.  We're just trying to find out what happened upstairs.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Grogan: Mister Riegel is on our list.  We'll be picking him up next.

Host Travis says:
CO: I told Grog' I'd fix it, I just need time. My payment is upstairs, it will cover, I'm sure of it!

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: How did all that damage happen, Travis.  Can I call you Travis?

ACTION: Two Security Officers move to either side of Travis and another stands behind him.  They are ready but trying to not appear threatening.

Host Travis says:
CO: We were...I'm not s'posed to talk about it.  We promised we wouldn't.  Part of the deal he said.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: Who said?

Host Travis says:
CO: That's part of what we're not supposed to talk about.  If we do they can take our pay back.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: Okay, don't tell me know.  We'll wait for your lawyer.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Take Strongjaw to the brig... now!

Host Travis says:
CO: But I can't tell him either.  Yodont said...woops.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Wait.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: Who is Yodont?

Host Travis says:
CO: I wasn't supposed to say, but he's who hired us.  When I asked his name he said it was Yodont Niedtono.  You won't tell him I told his name, will you?

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Grabs Strongjaw by the arm, and gets ready to walk him to the transporter hub::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Tracing the damage, looking to see if there was more than one Transport.:: CEO: Hard to say for sure, but I think there were multiple transports.  Slight damage to the ceiling appears to be slightly newer than the stuff on the floor, if I'm reading this right.  Probably aimed a touch higher the second time.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: I promise I won't.  Are you ready to tell me the whole story?  What does Mister Riegel have to do with it?

Host Travis says:
CO: Oh, Scanlan got the job for us.  I can talk about him, no one told me not to.  He thought I'd be great for it.  Even if I can't say what "it" was.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: It?  What "it"?

Host Travis says:
CO: The job.  Scanlan set up the job. I barely talked to anyone else, just grabbed what they wanted me to grab and moved what they needed moved.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: What did they want you to grab?

Host Travis says:
CO: Big stuff.  Metal boxes of some sort. Don't know what's in them.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Travis: This guy you know as Yodont, where did you talk to him?

Host Travis says:
CO: At the job when I asked him what to call him.
