SD 10304.08 Season Three Episode Forty-one (Mission #131) Secrets in the Dark. Part 3

The crew of the Claymore is now settled on the Ro'Zen and is preparing to leave Starbase 2. A false record has been logged with Starbase 2 for the destination of the Ro'Zen stating it is taking the crew to look over their new base.

Heading off in the general direction of Starbase 421A the Ro'Zen cloaks and after several minutes makes the course adjustment heading for Trobis.

The teams have gathered for a briefing before their arrival at their destination.

::Looks up:: FCO: It's okay. Gotta wear this thing. ::Points to the inhibitor:: And I have to administer an antibiotic to myself for a few days. Thanks, by the way, for your quick reaction back at the replimat.

Host CO_Randolph says:
::takes the information he gathered and heads for the briefing room::

SEC_J`Peg says:

D`Aven says:
Peters: Affirmative. ::orders the pilot to begin maneuvers::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::eyes peters, and wonder what his angle is, his distruster meter is pegged::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
FCO: Yeah, I'm feeling better, though the headache still comes and goes. Right now I'm more worried about catching up on what I missed.

D`Aven says:
Peters: Of course. I'm right behind you.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
MO: It's a very nice ship.

Powers says:
#::Slices through some foilage::

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::smirkes back::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::notices Peters enter::  Peters: Yes... no problems.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::looks at the Captain D'Aven and wonders if he will announce his connection to this mission::

SEC_J`Peg says:
::stands next to the door, making sure everyone who should be in the room is::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
ALL: For those of you who didn't meet him before this is Captain D'Aven of the Ro'Zen and Raven's brother...err adopted brother.

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::watches everyone::

Powers says:
#::Looks at the small clearing and pulls his pack off and grabs a water bottle::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::glances at D'Aven and nods::

D`Aven says:
Peters: As planned, our bogus flight plan has been logged and we will make it look like we are going to 421A. Our heading will change at the appointed time.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::frowns, slightly surprised at Cmdr Peters announcement::

Nelson says:
@ALL: Ok I don't want anyone screwing this up. I want Cole Powers dead or the merchandise one.... actually I would prefer both.

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::nods::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::nods:: D'Aven: Very good.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::looking around::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods silently as the Commander enters, then switches his PADD from the past briefing to technical specs of the Vor'cha class attack cruiser::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
ALL: Okay if there aren't any questions I am sure your leaders have requested and/or retrieved information that will need to be passed along now. ::sits down::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::standing close to D'Aven, Peters, and the Captain::

D`Aven says:
::sits beside Peters::

Powers says:
#::Has a quick drink then put the bottle back::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
:turns attention to Irvin and Randolph::

Host CO_Randolph says:
XO: Were you able to get your team up to speed?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Aye sir...  Mission Information and Team orders have been disseminated.  I think we're ready.  I intended to get brief individual reports from each person before we assume orbit.

SEC_J`Peg says:
::watches the briefing, leaning up against the wall slightly::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
<EDIT:  I intended to get brief individual reports from each person at this briefing before we assume orbit.>

Host CO_Randolph says:
XO: Then let's get it started. ::stands up:: ALL: If I can have your attention please.

Powers says:
#::Checks his pack, then starts his trek through the foliage::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::looks at Randolph::

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::turns to the CO::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::looks at the captain and raises eyebrow::

Host CO_Randolph says:
ALL: I was able to locate some information on this Raven... ::looks at D'Aven:: Raven it seems was a code name with Special OPS. It belongs to one Erin Brooks former Special Ops member.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: watches the CO, and glances down at his PADD::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Focuses on the Captain, hoping that the throbbing isn't his headache coming back::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::nods, having heard all this information before::

Host CO_Randolph says:
ALL: She was drummed out of Special OPS approximately 5 years ago due to some very bad information. Her last case was working to bring Cole Powers to justice.

Nelson says:
@ALL: Now spread out and keep your eyes open. ::grins evilly:: And a thousand extra credits to the man that kills Cole Powers.

Host CO_Randolph says:
ALL: During this time it was thought that he was dead only now it seems he has been in hiding and is looking for Raven.

D`Aven says:
::passive expression::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::watches D’Aven and peters::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::glances over at D'Aven with a pained look on his face::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::listens to Randolph::

D`Aven says:
::tries not to acknowledge his feelings::

Powers says:
#::Checks his map then looks up at the sky::

Nelson says:
@::stands up laughing looks over at the captives:: Self: Come on Cole I have what you want. ::laughs louder::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::senses the pain and uneasiness of Cmdr Peters and of D'Aven::

Host CO_Randolph says:
ALL: She was asked to return to help capture Cole since she knows him better than any operative in the business. The only problem from what we have gathered is that Nelson, a member of the syndicate found her first and is using her for bait to lure Cole out to get both him and something that was stolen years ago.

Host CO_Randolph says:
::looks around:: ALL: What we need to do now is to do our best and bring Raven and the remaining team out alive. As for the others alive if we can if not then we bring them out dead.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::raises eyebrow at the dead or alive statement::

D`Aven says:
::thinks dead would be better::

Host CO_Randolph says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Do you have anything to add at this point?

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::raises eyebrow at the captains statement::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::leans over towards D'Aven:: D'Aven: If I have my way they will both be dead.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over and plops his PADD on the table - clears throat::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CO: Thank you sir.  

Host CO_Randolph says:
::sits down watching the group::

D`Aven says:
::nods to Peters::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
ALL: I am confident that you all received my briefing message?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::still holding his report in his hand, nods at Cmdr Irvin::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods to the XO::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::watches as peters whispers something to D'Aven, and he is convinced that Peters has some secret::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::nods at the XO:

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Wonders if they'll actually have to kill anybody, then shakes the nasty thought from his head, inducing a dizzy spell and another headache::

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::keeps looking up now and again while reading his PADD::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Mr. Theron...  What do you have for us?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
::nods at the XO::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
ALL: Per your orders sir I looked into the information we have on Trobis, obviously an M-Class planet, comparable to Earth.  According to what I have Captain Randolph’s team will be beaming into a rain forest like area with several different types of insect life, but no large predatory mammals<c>

Powers says:
#::Looks around, and takes a seat in a small clearing::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::looks around::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
Team 2 will be beaming into an area that’s more like a make shift settlement than an established town or village, there are various taverns and residences.  Its not the most hospitable area, the locals are mainly consisted of mercenaries and others of that sort.  It will be heavily populated and its common practice to have your weapons holstered <c>

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::watches the group knowing that they don't trust completely and hopes it doesn't harm the mission in any way::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::eyes Peters::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::looks over at K'tarn and nods::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
In view as a show of strength.  Alleys and passage between the buildings are abundant and the best way to enter and exit the area undetected.  That’s the main stray of what I have for now Commander, if anyone has any questions please let me know.  ::takes a quick survey of the room::

Powers says:
#::Grabs some food from his pack, and starts chewing on it::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::continues to eye peters::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Fair enough Lieutenant.  You're attention to detail is greatly appreciated.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
XO: Thank you sir.

Nelson says:
@::watches one of his men enter the camp:: Jason: Any sign of that low life piece of human scum?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CEO:  Mr. Lai, I need you to coordinate with whoever is issuing us our communications and scanning equipment and verify that all is in working order per my orders...

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::looks up:: XO: That will be done shortly by J'Peg.

Nelson says:
@<Jason> Nelson: No we looked all over the place for him but still no sign.

SEC_J`Peg says:
::looks up from her thoughts and nods to the XO::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods to the XO, wondering what this new man is like, and wishing he was able to use his empathic abilities:: XO: Yes, Sir.

D`Aven says:
XO: This may not be a SF ship, but it is well run. ::smiles::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::nods to Peters::  FCO: Make sure you coordinate all your navigational information with Commander Peters and Mr. Farris.

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::taking notes and acknowledges the XO's statements::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
XO: Understood sir.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::listens in::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::pauses and smiles back::  D`Aven: With all due respect Captain, I just like to go into these things prepared....  You know how it is....

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:continues glancing at the PADD, but mainly listening and watching those talking about the mission::

Nelson says:
@Jason: That isn't what I really wanted to hear. Could it be this assignment is too much for your simple mind? ::pulls disrupter aiming it at Jason::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
MO: Doctor... Have you had the opportunity to prepare yourself?

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::scans the room with his eyes and focus on peters again....convinced that he is hiding something::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::reaches down petting Krista::

D`Aven says:
J'Peg: Now is the time to equip this crew. Give them our finest weapons, scanners and communicators.

Nelson says:
<Jason> @::starts backing off:: Nelson: Nnnnooo I will go back out and look some more! ::turns running into the woods::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
D'aven: I will not need any equipment, as I have brought my own

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over to the CIV::  CIV: Take it anyway Colonel.  It'll be good to have a back up.

D`Aven says:
CIV: Well prepared. A true warrior. K'plah.

SEC_J`Peg says:
D`Aven: Yes sir. ::looks down at her PADD and takes notes::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::looks at the panther and raises eyebrow::  Self: There is a reason why this beautiful creature is here.  I am more sure of it now.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Like you said I’ve prepared a small medical kit, took off all Starfleet labels. Like you said nothing fancy.

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
CIV: As long as it doesn't have any markings of Starfleet that will be fine.

Nelson says:
@::lets Jason enter the woods aims and shoots him before he disappears:: ALL: You clowns know how much I hate failure!

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
Peters: The only marking on these weapons are Klingon

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::raises hand::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
FCO: Yes Mr. Theron

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::nods and smiles:: CIV: Then all is well Colonel.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: I have, primary and backup, and backup for backups

SEC_J`Peg says:
::hands out equipment to the crew::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
XO/Peters:  If I may ask, are the goals of this mission prioritized?  Is there a point we reach when the mission might end without all objectives completed but still a success?

Powers says:
#::Looks at the sky:: Self: I will get my revenge...

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::heatedly:: FCO: The death of Cole Powers and Nelson will be success enough for me.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
Peters/FCO: That is an excellent question

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::blinks and sits back a bit at Peters snap back, raises eyebrow::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::debates asking peters about his connection to raven::

Nelson says:
@::holsters disrupter and looks around the camp as his men start running back to their places::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::leans over to Peters and whispers::  Peters: Is that really necessary Commander?

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: If necessary then yes.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::whispering:: Peters:  I thought our #1 objective was to rescue Admiral Brooks

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::glances at Captain Randolph, wondering what’s up with all of this::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
::sits in wonderment, scratching his chin::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::sighs:: XO: It is...I just don't care for that scum.

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::stands up and faces the group:: ALL: If you have any questions now is the time to ask them.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
Peters: what exactly is your connection to Raven, I know D’Aven is related and this mission is a matter of honor for him, but what your motivation?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
<Insert this before Peters Last line>::looks to the crew again::  ALL: Folks, let's keep in mind that our PRIMARY objective is to rescue Admiral Brooks and avoid a confrontation if at all possible.

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
CIV: It is also a matter of honor for me as well. I am the reason Raven was exonerated. She is my imazadi.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
Peters: Sir, in the unlikely event that one of us is caught, what happens then?

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
MO: You better pray for a quick death unless you can kill who ever caught you first.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
MO: Then Doctor, you are proverbially screwed.  Starfleet will disavow any knowledge of this mission.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::the final piece of the puzzle fits::Peters: and just what will your role be on the mission?

D`Aven says:
MO: Die like a warrior!

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::looks at Liko:: Self: Never thought of that.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Cringes at the thought of being captured::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
ALL: As the XO said...Starfleet will disavow this mission. Currently we are being showed as heading for SB421A.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Did i say I was going to get caught? (gives the XO a look)

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::sees the look of fear appears on some of the people in the room as he release they might die::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
CIV: I am here to help and guide the group. As well I will be controlling Krista.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::smirks and smiles at the MO::  Self: Maybe he's not so bad after all.....

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::wonders if peters will be able to control his emotions:: Peters: is this your first field assignment?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::for the first time is tense, thinks that the crew is possibly being set up for failure, doesn’t like playing the puppet::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::drops PADD on the table::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::chuckles:: CIV: Colonel I lost count of the number of field assignments I have been on. I too was a Special OPS member until about 3 years ago.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the Colonel::  CIV: Colonel, with all due respect, I think that's beside the point at this juncture...  All: Anything else?

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
ALL: We have done everything we can to make sure this mission is a success. The only failure will come if you fail in your part of it.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::his frown deepens, because his got bad feelings about this mission::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::sensing the heightened emotions:: Self:  I hope this mission goes through with flying colors.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::shoots Peters a glance::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
Peters: I think that we are all ready.  These people know their jobs.

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::thinking of the last search and rescue mission she was on::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::nods:: ALL: Then you are dismissed. We will be arriving in approximately 4 hours so be prepared.

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
::gets a bad cringe in his stomach, praying the mission will be a success::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: Colonel...  A word please?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::steps away from the table....

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: Of course ::heads over to Irvin::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods, gathers up his PADD, and stands from the table, steadying himself as the dizziness gets stronger::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::stands up and tries to grab the Captains eye, would like to have a word with him::

Host CO_Randolph says:
::nods at the FCO::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: You seem a bit dissident about all this....  There something you need to get off your chest before we embark on this?

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Do you have a moment?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::nods to the MO:: MO: Just a sec Doctor....

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::stands and waits::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::walks over towards the door to wait for the CO to finish up whatever he needs too::

Host CO_Randolph says:
FCO: Did you need something Lt?

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: No not at all, the dissidence you’re picking up, was because Cmdr Peters has not been fully truthful with us until just know.   Your aware of the research via Klingon databanks,  I did before departing Sb2

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: I was convinced that there was more going on then we been told.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CO: Sir if you have a moment, I would like to talk with you in private.

Host CO_Randolph says:
::moves over to one side of the room:: FCO: What is it Lt.?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: Yes Colonel... I am aware of it.  But let me assure you that Captain Randolph and I were both very deeply briefed on this before you guys were brought in.  Every thing has been taken into account that can be.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::waits for the XO::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CO: Sir, I know that we haven’t had much of an opportunity to speak much off duty or candidly, but may I speak freely?

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: And Cmdr Peters shared his personal involve in this mission with both of you?

Host CO_Randolph says:
::nods::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::slowly getting up she looks at the panther and raises an eyebrow and continues to watch the others as they file out of the briefing room::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
<Krista> ::raises her head watching the people in the room::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: gets up from chair walking out of the room::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: Let's say that I had some prior knowledge of all of this goings on that I chose not to divulge to the rest of the crew because of needless concern as your are expressing now...

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::waits for the XO:: Self: Wish he'd hurry up.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Makes his way out of the room to some place quieter where he hopes his headache won't be so bad::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: very well, but I suggest you keep a eye on Cmdr Peters

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CO: I trust you and the fact that I know you know what the situation is, but the more and more we 'brief' about this mission the more questions come up, and to be honest sir, after this last meeting I don’t feel very secure in the knowledge that those who have put this mission together are at all concerned about the 8 people they are sending down.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CIV: The situation is in hand Colonel...   Excuse me please.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the MO:: MO: Yes Doctor...

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
XO: Aye Commander, I need to get ready myself

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::follows the CEO and pats him on the shoulder:: CEO: Sir I sense your pain from your headache.  Are you alright sir??

Host CO_Randolph says:
FCO: I assure you from the briefing we had before all of you were brought in they are very concerned. We have been provided the very best in equipment and a way in and out without being detected.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
::motions for the XO to walk out of the room with him:: XO: I need a moment.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::follows the MO out::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::leaves the commander and heads over Captain D'Aven::D'Aven Interesting career you have

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: I know we have not gotten along since you arrived, but Can i speak freely and off the record?

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: continues reading over the PADD, hoping to get all the information drilled into his head::

D`Aven says:
::as they leave the briefing room touches the CIV's shoulder:: CIV: Today is a good day to die. K'plah.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
EO: I'll be fine. Nothing that can be done for the headache, unfortunately, except for sleep. And it doesn't look like I have much time for sleep. ::Rubs the back of his neck:: I wanted to thank you for taking over while I was in sickbay.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::nods:: CO: I understand sir, its just obvious that there are a lot of personal connections going on here.  I am not afraid sir, but something wasn’t adding up for me in there.  I mean no disrespect.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
MO: Of course Doctor....

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles::  MO: What's on your mind?

Host CO_Randolph says:
::nods:: FCO: I understand Lt. I wouldn't have agreed to this if I didn't think it would work. We have a good crew and a good team we will succeed.

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
CEO: I am very proud to serve, Sir.  It was an honor and a pleasure to serve in that position.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::nods again, stand back to attention in front of his commanding officer:: CO: Understood Captain, that was all I had.

D`Aven says:
::checks with the pilot to make sure the Ro'Zen is on schedule::

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: I just wanted to tell that it does not take an El-Aurian ,like me, to realize that we are being used to settle a personal vendetta.

Host CO_Randolph says:
::nods:: FCO: Then I suggest you get things squared away and be ready when we arrive.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::heads for his quarters on the Ro'Zen and checks his equipment::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods:: EO: I'll be...somewhere quiet until we reach Trobis. Just in case you need me.

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
CO: Right away sir.

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Of course I will follow my orders to the T, but I just wanted to make you aware of something that won't reveal itself just yet.

Host CO_Randolph says:
::exits the briefing room going to the quarters he has been assigned to use::

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::sits back down at the briefing table going over his PADD::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::sighs:: MO: I know Doctor...  I've been looking at this from the outside in.  Believe me, I intend to do EVERYTHING in my power to control this as much as possible.  I knew this was coming a couple of days before anyone else...

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::finish his check and heads back to the briefing room::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::AS he rubs the back of his neck, his hand touches the neural inhibitor, and he suddenly has a troubling thought:: EO: If you'll excuse me, I need to speak with the XO for a moment.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
MO: Just relax and follow your orders.  We'll get through this in not less than two pieces...  

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::sits at the table looking over all the information that was given to the crew::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
CEO: Of course Sir.  We can talk later.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::smiles jokingly::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods, then heads to the XO:: XO: Sir, if I may ask a question?

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::glances over at Peters still at the table, wondering if this is a good time to coordinate with him::

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Just wanted to tell you that you're not the only one that a little suspicious. Being old helps a bit.

D`Aven says:
::returns to the briefing room and sits next to Peters:: Peters: We are on schedule.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::looks around the brief room as the crew interacts and feels like an outside still::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
::finds a seat and begins readying for the mission, continuing to read the PADD::

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
D'Aven: That is good to hear and don't worry we will get her out alive.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
MO: Noted Doctor...   ::smiles::  Go get yer ducks in a row. 

MO_Ens_Liko says:
XO:: Quack, quack.::smiles turns around and head for his quarters::

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::makes her way to engineering::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::turns to the CEO::  CEO: Yes Lieutenant

MO_Ens_Liko says:
Self: Not the jerk I thought he was.

D`Aven says:
Peters: We will, or I will die trying. ::grabs Peters' shoulder:: You are indeed a good friend.

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
D'Aven: As are you my friend as are you. ::reaches over grabbing D'Aven's shoulder::

CSO_LtJG_Taylor says:
::sits almost full of stuffing himself with knowledge, looks around to see if any crew is around::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
XO: Sir, I don't know what you know of the situation on the Starbase, but I was fitted with a neural inhibitor that I have to keep for a few days. I didn't have a chance to look at it before it was put on, and I don't want to take it off. I know you specialized in engineering, and I wonder if it would be any sort of liability or identifier.

D`Aven says:
::eyes lock on Peters' eyes:: Peters: K'plah. Success.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
::heads over to D'Aven::D'Aven: I understand the Ro'Zen has had many black operations

Host Cmdr_Peters says:
::smiles:: D'Aven: K'plah.

D`Aven says:
::looks up at the CIV:: CIV: Yes it has. But apparently not so black that you should know about that.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::sighs and thinks for a second::  CEO: I would most definitely get fitted for some head gear or something...  A hat maybe....

FCO_LtJG_Theron says:
::still going over PADD, reaches up and feels his ear, wishes he would have known that they weren’t coming back to the Claymore anytime soon and he would have grabbed his earring, would have been a nice good luck charm::

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nods:: XO: Thank you Sir. I'll see what I can find, or replicate.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
CEO: Get with Commander Peters and see what he can come up with.  He knows the most about this culture and what these folks wear.

CEO_LtJG_Lai says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

D`Aven says:
CIV: You are well informed it seems.

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
D'Aven: Not as informed as I should have, but begins a Retired General in the Defense Force has certain benefits

EO_Ens_Mo`Bri says:
::going over specs and information of her role in team 1::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::sticks PADD under arm and looks around at Claymore crew and Klingon crew scattering around, then takes off to prepare and change clothes::

CIV_Col_K`tarn says:
D'Aven: as any good warrior, once was given the facts of this mission I began my own hunt

D`Aven says:
CIV: As it should, General, as it should.

ACTION: Time passes swiftly and the Ro'Zen is now in orbiting a small moon of Trobis still cloaked. Preparations are being made to beam up Jamul and get the teams ready to go in.
