Last time on the Seleya:

Everyone, but the captain, made it back to the new safe house where it was checked out by the TO and CEO.  Except for a possibly nosy neighbor, everything seemed quiet and as it should be.  At their previous safe house, it was discovered Umsfek, of the warrior/military class and part of the expansionist group was watching it, following through with his orders to check out the two newest members of their group, introduced by the priest Ta'hal.

OPS and the FCO were sent to replace the crews other vehicles, using Maor's special contacts as they work to hide anything possibly incriminating.  They still have a few weeks left on this planet and it is imperative they not be discovered.  It is often the littlest thing that can bring things down.

Shortly after arriving, the CTO and CSO briefed the XO about their experience.  After they told their story, the XO went to ask the ambassador to do a scan of them.  This revealed the remnant of a slight chemical reaction in their brain left over from a scan.  It is doubtful the scan was anything more than a light truth scan or else they would never have let two aliens go.  But whether or not the military believed their story is unknown.

The Captain found herself being politely 'abducted' by a couple desiring her to marry them, which is traditionally done at dawn.  Because of their different castes, this is greatly frowned upon, but not illegal.  And so the captain, after checking a few facts to verify their story,  finds herself in an unexpected situation.

Because of the current events, the crew has called in 'sick' for the day to work through their new situation.  Maor has called a meeting to discuss their next steps.

Captain's log, Stardate 11102.20. I just arrived at the new safe house after being detained in the last few hours. Maor briefed me over the com of the situation but the crew will now meet so we can make a new situation point. Given the situation, the mission is going well.

<<<<<<<<<< The Last Ones:  The Night After III  >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Sitting at the new table of their newest 'home', she could not but regret the change.  She liked the other place better than this one.  Maybe it was she had been too comfortable.  Now she had to worry if her's and the CTO's story held as someone had done some tampering with their brain... even if it was minor.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Approaches the safe house, looking as priestly as she can. She knows there must be cameras someone must be watching. She tries the gate::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::In the basement of the safe house with Taliesin watching the cameras::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sitting at one the chars in the living room, waiting for the rest of the crew::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::In the living room, quietly pondering to himself::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Checks his watch and sees it's time for the meeting so heads upstairs::  Taliesin: Let me know if you see anything suspicious.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::She enters the gate and approaches the house door, which opens for her as well::
TO Taliesin says:
CTO:  Looks like the captain has finally made it.  ::Points to the monitor that shows the captain approaching the front door.::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Entering their street he sees a known figure arriving at the house::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks around at the place and notices some architectural consistencies with the previous one. She goes to where she believes the living room might be::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Hears Taliesin's comments and heads into the living room::
CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: Security is either non-existing or extremely efficient
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Enters the living room and looks at the crew::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks up as the captain comes in and smiles.::  CO:  Good to see you, captain.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances up as he notices the Captain's arrival::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Drives and slows the car down outside the house and sees the captain having glance about the house::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at Rose:: All: I am glad to see you all safe. I was detained on my way here ::Enters the room and heads for an empty seat:: XO: What is our status?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Sees the captain in living room::  CO:  Oh hello captain, Taliesin told me you had gotten back.  He watched you approach on the monitors downstairs.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::After seeing the captain going in, MacArthur turns the car power off; exits and secures the car before making his way into the new safe house::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Detained? ::Raises an eyebrow in question:: By whom?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes a seat on the couch::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Very efficient Mr. Heller. Good work. ::Turns to the XO::
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Locals in need of a priest. I had to keep up appearances. I asked you about our status
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Walks into the safe house and sees the crew gathering in the living room. MacArthur walks in and finds himself a spot to sit at::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CO: Captain, good to see you.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Smiles::
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods at the FCO::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Having maintained a quiet presence in the room, he awaits this gathering to come to order ::

ACTION:  Following a slightly longer route home, OPS finds himself stuck behind a major accident.  He reports in, letting them know the situation and it could be hours before his return.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks up as Heller enters and then over to the ambassador.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I was going to get to that. ::Eyes the Captain oddly for a second before he continues:: The CTO and SO were detained by the government while surveying the area we believe the army we land. We already established that they used some sort of scan that can somehow detect dishonesty, therefore we can assume their covers have been blown. We already know our old house was being monitored by at least one government, however we currently have no  reason to believe they're aware of this location as well. I paid enough money to ensure that.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Scratches one of her fake ears again::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Drums his fingers on the chair arms::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: The TO and the CEO were sent to scout the area and investigate a strange neighbor they saw snooping around the house. ::Gestures at the direction of the FCO:: FCO and OPS arranged for new means of transportation for us, two of them.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: As I approached the area seemed clear to me as well. I think your choice of safe house was a good one. We just need to be more careful in the future. ::Turns to the SO and CTO:: SO/CTO: Perhaps have our tricorders report any approaching life forms or scanning devices automatically.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
XO: Commander, myself and Pandora took separate routes to avoid suspicion. We managed to get the new cars but it's unfortunate about the accident.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses:: FCO: What accident? 
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods again:: XO: And I have my ...humm....priest-mobile.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks over where the CEO should be and then back at the captain.  She says nothing, checking with him later about the captain’s request.::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
XO: Pandora informed me that there was an accident whilst en-route, nothing involving the lieutenant, but is stuck in traffic.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods in response to the captain.:: CO:  Should be doable, I also have at least one of my team watching the monitors at all times.  Also they do a walk through the neighborhood at random.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the FCO:: CO: As I was saying, whatever we've got planned we should do it as soon as possible. It's only a matter of time before we'll draw too much attention to ourselves.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: I mean portable alarms. Like when you go investigate again. You may be able to detect any government security before they approach you
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CO: Captain, just to note with regards to security, we checked both cars for any suspicious devices and they came back clear.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Understood.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I understand. ::Nods at the FCO: Good.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Glances at MacArthur:: FCO: What about your pet?
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: What did you learn in your investigations and ... where is McKnight?
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the word pet::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Bites his lip purposely and glances at the TO:: CO: Yes captain, we picked up a feline creature during the expansionist infiltration. I should note that it's extremely intelligent and will even protect if necessary
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: McKnight is fine. He went to get supplies. About the neighbor, he's harmless. Just a senile old man living with his son and daughter-in-law.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Good news for a change. Did you learn anything of relevance about the expansionists?
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: He loves to jabber about his neighbors and what he thinks they're up to, but I doubt anyone will listen to him much. He also seems to think he's being watched.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: He doesn't know anything about the expansionists.
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Very well but be careful. Are you sure it wants to be your pet? Do not underestimate any animal's intelligence. And do not keep it against its will. Also...don't get too attached...
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: But Ta'hal asked McKnight and myself to create a 'diversion' at the event.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Looks again at the FCO:: FCO: That thing might be bugged.
CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Did he tell you why he wants this diversion?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the CIV::

ACTION:  As if he were listening, and probably was,  Scar made a stately appearance to wind himself around the FCO's feet, before sitting next to them.

TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: I don't know, but I have to assume it's to cover up the assassination.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: TO: That is what seems more likely to me as well. So, they trust you and McKnight?
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: I don't know. Ta'hal probably trusts us, but Umsfek at least doesn't. Also, we were told not to harm anyone.
SO Lt Rose says:
::She raised a brow at that question.  If they had trusted them, they would not have sent someone to follow them who was even now still outside their other house.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Feels the Commander's eyes in his direction and turns to look in response ::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CO: No worries captain, I have a pet at home, I see this as a temporary replacement. Also when I scanned it to learn anything about it, there was no foreign objects found.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Looks doubtful at the TO:: TO: Humane terrorists?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Sees scar making himself known to the TO and can't help by smile slightly::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Shrugs:: CO: Don't ask me.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: How are we on the army situation? Did you manage to pin point the exact landing location? Do you have a plan to ambush the army?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Listens contently to the group discussion::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Heller::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Yes we determined the exact arrival area of their army before we were...detained.  After seeing the location I've started working on a greeting for them.  While looking over the video and the area it might also be possible they arrived a little earlier than we expected and hid out in the caves but there is now way to be certain.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I'd like to send someone back out there and set up a remote camera if possible just so that if they do arrive early we will be aware of it.
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Scratches his head and looks at the XO:: XO: McKnight and I should probably visit Ta'hal again. I'm not sure what he thinks of us after we absconded from that last meeting.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: Do what you can.  We must be ready for all eventualities. Ideally some of us should camp out there a few days before. Do you think the government security will be a problem again? Might they be observing the area for some reason?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in agreement:: TO: And this time, arm yourself. A carbon fiber based side arm perhaps.
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  Yea, at this point, it would be best if we did not go anywhere near it ourselves.  We should probably get back into our normal routine.  For all we know, they did believe the CTO and I.  For the most part, we did tell the truth and what was not truth, led to obvious speculations of a more personal arrangement.
TO LtJG Truus says:
XO: Aye sir.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods and addresses the whole crew:: All: despite some mishaps, our plans are going in the right direction.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  It should be possible but as Lt Rose has stated might be best if me and her stay away for the time being.  I'll head out there at the last possible moment, I want to be there when they arrive.  I will work on getting my final plan for the arrival together and send the plan to you and Commander Maor.
CO Capt Gomes says:
::Nods:: CTO: And then we still need to find the best way to convince the Undundians to turn back.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: Have you been working on that plan too?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  I do have some ideas along that route, with some backup plans if they don't listen to us, not ones I want to use right off but as a last resort.  I'll get my plans together and you can review them.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I've been investigating a few possibilities, mostly working on getting a few corrupt politicians to positions of power so we could control their actions enough to assist us when the assassination will take place.
CO Capt Gomes says:
CTO: Send them to Commander Maor and Envoy Savar as well. We will need their experience on this.
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: That sounds like Plan C is A and B fail...
SO Lt Rose says:
CO:  I have been working on putting together the two different scenarios to show them.  Of course, that does not mean they might as I could just as easily have created them.  But to actually see what will happen might help them decide not to follow through.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: A beings we turn back the army and B that we prevent the assassination
CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That is exactly why the CEO worked on that holoprojector and computer for the simulation
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Will do.  Will get it together as quickly as I can.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods::  CO:  I should have it finished in a couple of days.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: about plan B, CEO and TO should get as many details of the expansionist plan as possible. Then me and the CIV will hopefully use that information to find and save the target.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods in agreement::
TO LtJG Truus says:
CO: Will do.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Nods in agreement to discussions so far::
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: The SO and CTO will need yours and your friend's help in keeping their activities secure
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: In what way captain?
CO Capt Gomes says:
XO: I will need you to coordinate both plans, but right now you have to be MacKnight's and Truus' backup
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods:: CO: Understood, Captain.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looking from the FCO back to the captain, curious as well.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: When they go out into the field. I am sure...Scar... can detect anyone approaching at least as fast as a tricorder
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CO: True and he will be less suspicious as he's a native animal.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Smiles as she considers the huge feline masquerading as a cat.::
CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Do you have anything to add Envoy?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
CO: Nothing that everyone assembled needs be aware of, Captain.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Leans over and whispers::  CTO:  Did you still want to go with the idea of keeping the military thrown off or in this case, believing their thoughts?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Can't help but smile at the fact, that Scar has become useful once again - protection, now security::
TO LtJG Truus says:
::Closes his eyes and quietly hopes that McKnight will return soon::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Whispers::  SO:  Yes I believe that would be the best call, if we stick to acting out the situation we told them, should make it more believable and hopefully by the time we really need to move without being watched they are completely off our trail.
CO Capt Gomes says:
All: This is all for now. Dismissed.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Nods to the captain, gets up and heads for the kitchen to grab some alien coffee::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods and stands.::  CTO:  I want to get some rest.  We could then 'go out' this evening.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Stands:: SO:  sounds good, gives me some time to get my plans worked out.
