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

CSO_Colt says:
::Still leaning against the ship, with a toothpick hanging out his mouth and his cowboy hat down over his face::

XO_Naya says:
::strides over to a wall map close to the docking area .... looking for the Market Area::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::walks over to Naya:: I hope you can figure out how to get there. ::notices there isn't a "you are here" marker on the map::

XO_Naya says:
Bob:  Um ....... it might be nice to get booked into a hotel for overnight before it gets too late?

Cpt_Bobby says:
Naya: You're the one with the money. I'm broke.

CEO_Jimmy says:
::sees a bunch of people headed towards a large covered area:: All:  I think the market is this way...

XO_Naya says:
::tries to work out from the stupid map where they are::

XO_Naya says:
Bob:: We have plenty of money ..... they did not find the second box ::grins::

Host Quchant says:
<Market Throng> Lots of bustle and noise

CSO_Colt says:
::Follows behind everyone, seeming to keep to the shadows::

XO_Naya says:
::realises that Pony , Jimmy and Colt have left the docking area ::

CSO_Colt says:
::Swaggering in his cowboy boots::

CEO_Jimmy says:
Colt:  You got any money?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::gives a look to Naya::

XO_Naya says:
::decides to follow since they seem to know where they are going::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Naya can easily see where the AT is as the cowboy hat sticks out like a sore thumb

Cpt_Bobby says:
::walks off to the group::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::looks at Naya:: When are you gonna give us our money?

XO_Naya says:
::is concerned about the Opul's Teeth ..... gets one of the disguised Security Crew to set a guard before she hurries to catch up with the rest::

XO_Naya says:
::reaches into her cloak:: Jimmy Dear .... pocket money right here ::passes a bar of latinum to the CEO::

CSO_Colt says:
::Glancing around cowboyishly <Meaning doesn't look like he gives a damn> ::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::thinks:  Wow, a whole bar of latinum...I could buy a cup of coffee with that::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::a good cup of coffee::

Host Atoo says:
::spots the money exchange and follows clumsily at a noticeable distance::

Cpt_Bobby says:
Naya: Now now Naya...Let's constrain our wealth. You know what happened to that Gates guy 300 years ago.

XO_Naya says:
Bob:: Well ..... I did not have time to get the bars changed into anything smaller

Host Atoo says:
::gets up close to strange character with silly looking hat::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::gives a wierd face gesture:: Colt: Hey cowboy airhead, how much farther to go?

CSO_Colt says:
Bobby: You talking to me... punk?

XO_Naya says:
::sees that Fairday has someone close up to him ....:: Colt!   Keep with us?

Host Atoo says:
::attempts to pickpocket Colt::

Cpt_Bobby says:
Colt: Oh don't start.

XO_Naya says:
::shrugs shoulders .... CO Bobby probably knows how to deal with his CSO::

CSO_Colt says:
::Grins:: Bobby: I don't know sir.  ::Feels someone with their hand in his pocket and looks down::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Can I help you?

Host Atoo says:
Colt: Argh....please mister....don't hurt me....::cowers on floor::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::puts latinum in coat pocket::

XO_Naya says:
::looks round and realises she has lost track of Pony .... worries a bit::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: ::Chuckles::  I don't care... I had nothing on me.  ::Turns pocket inside out::

CSO_Colt says:
::Sticks out a hand for the kid:: Atoo: Come on... get up.  What's your name?

CEO_Jimmy says:
::sees the Market up ahead:: All:  We're almost there... ::points::

XO_Naya says:
::still worried about Pony ... and also where they will sleep tonight .... it is mid-afternoon and she got the impression that hotels were hard to find::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::groans "Thank God"::

XO_Naya says:
Bob:: Your feet hurting?  Those boots do look uncomfortable .... Colt and Pony are much better dressed for walking than you and I

Cpt_Bobby says:
Naya: Not at all. Mountain climbing

Host Atoo says:
Colt: erm...Atoo sir...

CSO_Colt says:
::Helps kid up:: Atoo: So are you a pickpocket or do you just like sticking your hands in people's pockets?

XO_Naya says:
::watches the conversation between the kid and Colt::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I saw you had money....and I had to eat....I haven't had anything to eat for days...and my little sister hasn't either

Cpt_Bobby says:
::looks over his shoulder at the conversation going on, as the group continues to move onward::

CEO_Jimmy says:
All:  I'm gonna go look around the market...should we meet back somewhere later?

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: May I join you Jimmy?

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Well.. I don't have money on me.. but my associates do.  Let's go get you lunch, lil' fella.  ::Moves over to Naya::

CEO_Jimmy says:
Naya: Uh...okay

Host Atoo says:
::grabs Naya's hand::

XO_Naya says:
::looks to Bob for the okay sign::

CSO_Colt says:
Naya: Can I have some dough for lunch?

Host Atoo says:
::and grabs Colt's hand::

Cpt_Bobby says:
All: Okay people, meet outside the money exchange office at 7:00pm. Until then, go shopping.

XO_Naya says:
::shakes off the child:: Atoo:: Colt will look after you ..... you do not need me

Host Atoo says:
::has tight hold of Naya's hand and Colt's as well::

XO_Naya says:
Colt::  Well ..... if you are a good boy ...::passes over another bar of latinum::

Host Atoo says:
Naya: no...I like you....you will have dinner with me

Host Atoo says:
::looks at Naya with big brown doe eyes::

XO_Naya says:
::much stronger than the child ..... shakes it off and walks off with Jimmy::

XO_Naya says:
::not being sentimental::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::smiles, trying not to laugh::

CSO_Colt says:
::Takes bar:: Naya: Thanks ma'am

Host Atoo says:
::tears well up::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::walks off with a couple tools, replicators, etc, and sets up a booth::

Host Atoo says:
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

XO_Naya says:
::ignores the child ... she is sure Colt can cope::

CSO_Colt says:
::Pockets the bar where he can feel it::  Atoo: Come on now... let's get some grub for you and your sister.

CEO_Jimmy says:
Atoo:  You can come with us, we don't mind.  ::looks at Naya:: Do we?

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: Jimmy .... Colt has it in hand ....

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: And I would like to find out where Pony got to .... she was ahead of us

Cpt_Bobby says:
::motions over to Naya to come up with sales. Many people have immediately flooded the booth, looking for a steal::

CSO_Colt says:
::Looks at Naya and thinks "What a cold-hearted bit... Ow that kid has a grip"::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::pulls Naya off to the side:: I sense something strange from Atoo...I think we should keep him with us...

XO_Naya says:
::does the not at the moment sign to Bob ,,, and starts into the main street::

CSO_Colt says:
::Waits for the kid to lead the way to his sister::

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: You are Vulcan .... what do you sense?

Host Atoo says:
::looks at Noya and Jimmy with big brown eyes::

CEO_Jimmy says:
XO:  I'm only part Vulcan...I can't quite tell just yet.

XO_Naya says:
::decides the kid has realised she is the treasurer ... wishes she had given more of the latinum to Bob before leaving him::

Host Atoo says:
::squeeze Colt's hand and hugs his leg::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo:  Oof... gosh you got a grip there lil' pardner.

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: Jimmy .... take these 4 bars and give them to the skipper ... then we need to find Pony before she gets into trouble .... that dress!

CEO_Jimmy says:
XO:  It's as if he's not what he appears to be.

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Let's go chow... Where's your sister?

XO_Naya says:
::looks back at Colt .... trying to disentangle himself from the kid::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: ::looks up at Colt:: I know where your going

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: What?  I'm going with you to find your sister and get you something to eat.

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I know where you can find who you are looking for...::beams with a big smile::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: How do you know what I'm looking for?

CEO_Jimmy says:
::walks up to the 'skipper':: Here, Naya told me to give these to you.  ::hands him 3 bars of latinum::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::is overwhealmed by the sales going on:: Jimmy: Thanks Jimmy. ::pockets it without even looking at his CEO, continually making sales::

XO_Naya says:
::notes that the CEO is the acquisitive sort .... files it mentally for reference::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I just know....::keeps tight hold of Colt's hand and starts off in a direction::....Come on....

CSO_Colt says:
::Follows Atoo a bit puzzled, with his hand on his latinum::

Host Atoo says:
ACTION: Colt and Atoo move away from the rest of the AT....

Host Atoo says:
::has lots of enthusiasm::

XO_Naya says:
::sees that Bob is doing a roaring trade .... still concerned about Pony::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Where are we headed?

Host Atoo says:
Colt: Don't lose your friends....they all need to come too

CEO_Jimmy says:
CO/XO:  I'm gonna follow that Atoo fellow...something just isn't quite right...

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Why?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::has to take a moment, arm is getting tired from making sales...places a "closed for lunch break" sign on the outside of the booth::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I told you.....I know where the person you are looking for is

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: Jimmy .... I think I trust your instincts ...::remembering the several laws of acquisition::

XO_Naya says:
CEO:: I agree .... let's follow them

CSO_Colt says:
::Finally clicks:: Atoo: How do you know about that?  ::Looks behind and tries to get a member of the groups attention by waving::

XO_Naya says:
::as she passes Bob's stall .... tries to let him know where they are going ... he is too busy with selling and buying to notice::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I just know.  ::stands with a posture that doesn't fit a child of the age Atoo looks::

XO_Naya says:
::thinks drat to all CO's who get too tied into the mission::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Then lead on...

Cpt_Bobby says:
::takes a seat as he drinks a glass of water for a moment as the AT passes behind the roaring crowd of customers::

Host Atoo says:
Colt: But your friends need to come toooooo

CEO_Jimmy says:
::catches up with Colt and Atoo::

Host Atoo says:
::stands with hands on hips like a 4 year old::

CSO_Colt says:
::Turns and waves at the group again... ::

XO_Naya says:
::still very worried about Pony ... anything could happen with the rabble in this market::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: They are coming... see, here they are.

CEO_Jimmy says:
Atoo:  Who are you, really?

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I see the nice lady and the nice man....where's that not so nice man ?

Host Atoo says:
::stomps foot::

Cpt_Bobby says:
<Annoyed Customer> ::grabs a personal phaser from his belt, and shoots the top cloth ceiling of Bob's stall...is very annoyed that people won't let him through to buy::

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Busy.

Host Atoo says:
Jimmy: I am more than you will realise

XO_Naya says:
::reaches Colt and the child:: Colt:: Just what do you think is going on here?

CEO_Jimmy says:
::remembers 'walkie-talkie':: *CO*  You need to get down here...ASAP

Host Atoo says:
::starts dragging Colt off again::

CSO_Colt says:
Naya: I think our little friend here, isn't so little, and knows who we are looking for.

Cpt_Bobby says:
::stands up, grabs a personal phaser that he happened to bring himself (the merchant type, not SF), and phasers back at the customer. Customer stands down::

CSO_Colt says:
::Gets pulled along::

XO_Naya says:
Colt:: You may be right ... he is certainly stronger than he appears .... Jimmy:: what do you think?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::grumbles, pulls the walkie talkie out and lengthens the antenna wire:: *Jimmy* What's the problem Jim?

Host Atoo says:
ACTION: AT gets dragged down an alleyway and up to a wooden doorway

CEO_Jimmy says:
XO:  He is definately not  a child...

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Where are we?

CEO_Jimmy says:
*Bobby* Atoo (the 'child') seems to know why we are here...and he is not what he seems.

Host Atoo says:
ACTION: THE ALLEYWAY IS OUT OF SIGHT OF THE MAIN MARKET, VERY QUIET STREET

XO_Naya says:
::presses the button on the primitive walkietalkie:: Bob:: If you are not too busy .... I think we may be on to something here .... join us?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::downs the last of his water, annoyed that he's being pulled away from the sales:: *Jimmy* I'll be right there...

Host Atoo says:
Colt: I am your contact

CSO_Colt says:
Atoo: Makes sense...  Naya:  That was easy.

Cpt_Bobby says:
::walks down the marketway, pushing through the thick crowd::

XO_Naya says:
Colt:: Don't be too confident .... Jimmy here thinks there is something not quite right about this

CEO_Jimmy says:
Atoo:  How do we know that you are telling the truth?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::makes his way to the rest of the group in the alley::

XO_Naya says:
::relieved to see Bob join them::

Host Atoo says:
::knocks on the doorway when blobby appears::

Host Atoo says:
<Bobby>

Host Atoo says:
ACTION: Door opens and Klingon Disruptor appears....and motions the AT inside

CSO_Colt says:
::Thinks... "Of Course" ::

XO_Naya says:
::since she was behind Colt and Jimmy ... steps quickly sideways away from the doorway::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::trying to piece together what is going on::

Host Atoo says:
ACTION: The room inside is dark....very very dark

CSO_Colt says:
::Enters the dark....very very dark room::

XO_Naya says:
Bob:: whispering:: Wd go ahead?

XO_Naya says:
::gets a flashlight out of her cloak before putting her head around the door::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::looks with confusion & curiosity:: XO: Sure. I'm at his mercy as far as I'm concerned.

XO_Naya says:
::shines the flashlight into the eyes of the being holding the disruptor ....::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The AT is struck from behind and are knocked out

CEO_Jimmy says:
::looks around, his eyes still adjusting to the low level of light::

Cpt_Bobby says:
ooohhhfff!!! ::is hit squarely in the back of the head::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::falls down, unconcious::

XO_Naya says:
::falls to the ground ... bars of latinum clinking as the cloak hits the floor::

CSO_Colt says:
::Knows the ground is rushing towards him... thinks "Not my hat"::

XO_Naya says:
::rolls over quickly ....::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: THE AT AWAKE SOMETIME LATER....ALL ARE TIED TO CHAIRS

CSO_Colt says:
Self: Oh... how TwenCen.

CEO_Jimmy says:
::wakes up and is very uncomfotable::

XO_Naya says:
::ropes are uncomfortable::

Cpt_Bobby says:
::sitting tied to another chair, arms behind him...very uncomfortable::

XO_Naya says:
::looks around in the dimness .... wondering where Pony got to::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: lights are shone in each of the AT's faces

Cpt_Bobby says:
::squints::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::squints::

XO_Naya says:
::stares straight back unblinking at the lights ... a trick she learned 100 years ago::

CSO_Colt says:
::Glad to know his hat is still on... though the Tricorder is an unknown... moves the brim so it blocks the light::

XO_Naya says:
::closes her eyes slowly .... ears are wide open though::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::listens carefully, trying to figure out where we are::

Host Voice says:
Why are you here.....what have you come for?

Cpt_Bobby says:
::looks at Naya, wondering whether to tell the truth, or the cover story::

XO_Naya says:
Voice(wearily):: We are here selling fabrics , herbs and replicators ..... why else would we be here?

CSO_Colt says:
::Is about to say... "Okay Corral" or the "Alamo"::

Host Voice says:
Noya: You lie....

XO_Naya says:
Voice:: No doubt you have ways of checking our cargo .... so go check!

CEO_Jimmy says:
::listens for any background noise that would give away our position::

Host Voice says:
Noya: We have checked your ship

Cpt_Bobby says:
::listens, trying to shift into a better position::

XO_Naya says:
Voice:: We have fabrics, replicators and spices .... that is why we are here

CSO_Colt says:
::Hates being hogtied::

XO_Naya says:
Voice:: to trade ... and make money

XO_Naya says:
::hopes Pony does not walk in unguarded::

CEO_Jimmy says:
::realizes that his cap has fallen off...oh no!!::
