Last time on Seleya:

The crew of the Seleya have taken the pirate vessel they captured to an outpost owned by the Orion Syndicate.  There they plan to make contact with one or more of Commander Heller's contacts in hopes of tracking down Tankard's whereabouts.

The captain accompanied by Heller and Rose are attempting to make contact with Marken, though currently his Nausican body guards are denying access.

The XO accompanied by Pandora and Storm went to a different bar to try and make contact with Trist.  Things aren't going quite so smoothly for this group as a fight breaks out over Storm.  The bartender has tripped a silent alarm.

Captain's Log 11406.22: We're meeting with Max's contact but need to get past the guards first. I just hope Maor doesn't make too much trouble.

<<<<<<<<<<<  The Hunt IV >>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  In no time the bar is a nightmare scene as people either scramble, tripping over things to get out, or they join the fight.  Soon the XO is seperated from OPS and MO.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Quietly waiting to see what the next step will be.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Glances at Max, letting him do the talking, waiting to see if the Nausican likes the bloodwine::
MO Lt Storm says:
::Notices things are getting out of hand she debates about staying where she is or trying to get out of the fray.  The table being over turned and someone trying to grab her made up her mind.::
TO Tarkin says:
::Looks for the CTO::
TO Tarkin says:
CTO: Max...can we talk a second?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances over to the captain then back to the nausicaan.::  Nausicaan:  The bloodwine is for your boss and we both know he won't be happy if he finds out you were trying to keep it for yourself, now tell him an old friend is here to see him and let him decide what to do next.
MO Lt Storm says:
::A scream of surprise and fear leave her as someone grabs her around the waist and lifts her into the air.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances back to Tarkin, stepping back.::  TO:  What is it?
Nausicaan 1 says:
CTO: Perhaps, but I have to have a taste to ensure his security too!
MO Lt Storm says:
::Instinct kicking in, she tries to fight her way loose, but whoever has her is experienced.  Something pierces her arm and darkness descends.::

ACTION:  A robed figure quickly takes the MO from the room.

Nausicaan 1 says:
CTO: Two bloodwines or no entry ::Snarls::
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Get to Marken, I'll deal with it. ::Motions to the TO to follow him a little way off::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Looks at Tarkin thinking this is not the best time.  At the same time, she knows he knows that.  Looks worriedly at Varesh::
TO Tarkin says:
::Follows the CO::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to the captain and turns his attention back to the Nausicaan, really wanting to just punch the man in the face, that might get Marken's attention at least but retrains himself, he glances past the guards to Marken who seems engrossed in whatever he was working on he raises his voice.::  Marken:  Marken you bastard,, tell this goon of yours to let me through before I have to teach him a lesson.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Speaks in a low voice:: TO: Report.
TO Tarkin says:
::Whispers:: CO: Varesh, we have a problem.
CO Capt Varesh says:
TO: What kind of problem?

ACTION:  In the thick of things, the first officer picks a few pockets and then is out the door, unscathed, to gather intel.

Marken says:
::Hears a voice, and his name but is very busy and knows everyone wants to talk to him, doesn’t quite pick up on who the voice is::
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I have been monitoring the radio traffic, the others are in trouble. A silent alarm, and reports of fighting at the bar they are at. The local law enforcement is heading their way.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Voice still raised.::  Marken:  I'm sure I can find someone else who wants these casks of 2369 bloodwine, was hoping to share at least one with you, for old time sake.

ACTION:  With a touch of boredom and annoyance as this is rather typical, station security shows up and begins to take things in hand.  A few of them enjoying their own punch or two.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Bites back a curse:: TO: Stay here. ::Quickly walks to Rose:: SO: I have to go to the other bar, there's a brawl and the local law enforcement is on the way. Tell Max I'll be back.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Nods::  CO:  Take Tarkin with you.
CO Capt Varesh says:
SO: Indeed. I'll keep you up to date. ::Turns and leaves the bar, motioning for Tarkin to follow him::
Marken says:
::Looks up:: Unknown voice: 2369 bloodwine, I don't know I busy
SO Lt Rose says:
::Sighs in relief as he wisely takes the security officer.  After all, he was the captain and important.::
TO Tarkin says:
::Follows the CO:: CO: I hope we are not too late.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Steps closer to Max.::
Marken says:
::Looks again and noticed the CTO:: CTO: Husker? no it cant be.....Husker?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Lifts a brow and hides a smile as she thinks... Husker?::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Grins.::  Marken:  In the flesh.  Now you gonna call off the goons or do I need to teach them a lesson?
TO Tarkin says:
CO: What's the plan?
CO Capt Varesh says:
TO: In my experience it is too late before it even began. ::Hurries along the corridor::
CO Capt Varesh says:
TO: Right now the plan is to keep our people out of jail. And hope they didn't seriously injure anybody.
TO Tarkin says:
CO: Let me see if I can raise anyone.
TO Tarkin says:
::Goes to his sleeve and taps the comm badge he sown into it::
Marken says:
Nausicaan 1: Let the bloodwine in, and my ole friend Husker

Scenery:  With lots of experience, the brawl is quickly gotten under control.  The room looks as it should after a brawl.  A few clients are enjoying that last moment before security grabs them and starts to take them away with the others.

TO Tarkin says:
*XO*: Maor come in, it's Bill.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Stops just inside the doors as the brawl is subdued, looking for his people, spotting the XO and OPS, but not his MO:: TO: Do you see Suzi?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*TO*: So we're back to using our real names? ::Goes into a quiet corner:: Go ahead.
TO Tarkin says:
*XO*: Not really, but it's an emergency. What's going on over there? We heard reports of fighting, a silent alarm, and the locals on their way to the bar. Varesh and I are on our way.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles at the guard.::  Nausicaan:  Told ya he'd wanna see me.  ::Steps past the guard motioning Rose to follow he approaches Marken.::  Marken:  It’s been a long time Marken, doing well for yourself I see.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*TO*: I'm fine. No worse for wear. I'm working on my leads, I should be back in a few minutes.

ACTION:  OPS is out cold.  One of the security officers grabs his arm and tosses him over his shoulder to head out.

TO Tarkin says:
*XO*: I would stay out, we are on our way to add to the numbers and hopefully get us out of any mess.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Moves over to the officer with OPS:: Officer: Excuse me, where will you be taking them?
Nausicaan 1 says:
::Blocks Rose:: ALL: he said the bloodwine and his friend
Marken says:
Husker: How have you been?
Marken says:
Husker: Yeah, business is good, learned a few more tricks in a few more trades ::Wink::
Security 3 says:
::Looks the stranger with a bored look.::  CO:  Where else?  To the brig.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances back to Rose.::  Marken:  She's with me,
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I am looing
SO Lt Rose says:
::Getting the clue, smiles sweetly and moves up closer to Max::
TO Tarkin says:
::Whispers:: CO: I think we should try to bribe them out before it gets that far.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*TO*: No worries about that, I'm waiting for the OPS as it is. I've found an old friend who can release him before he makes it anywhere near their brig.
CO Capt Varesh says:
Sec3: And what will it take to get this one free?
Marken says:
Husker: Who is she, and how much?
TO Tarkin says:
::Walks to the side:: *XO* Varesh is trying to negotiate a release now, should we stop?
Security 3 says:
::Snorts::  CO:  Not worth my job.  Talk to the chief.  ::With that said, shoulders pass them and heads out the door with the others.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*TO*: Unless he can offer less money than I would.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Rolls her eyes::
TO Tarkin says:
CO: We should try their chief. Maor is trying to secure another method just in case.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles.::  Marken:  She's with me and she's not for sale at any price.  I've been good, trying to keep busy and out of trouble, though that doesn't always work.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Grumbles and turns:: TO: What does Maor say? And have you seen Suzi?
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I have still not seen Suzi.
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I can try to see if she still has her communicator on her.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Thinks this outfit was definitely going to find a new home after this mission.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods, looking around for Suzi, wondering if the chief would be at the bar, or at the brig::
Marken says:
Husker: You out of trouble... you are yanking my chain! Let’s have some of that bloodwine.  Nausicaan 1: Let the lady she belongs to Husker

Scenery:  Security dumps, some literally, their various brawlers into a large brig cell, specially set up for that.  Ignoring the clammer the leave letting the chief deal with them.

SO Lt Rose says:
::Moving past the Nausicaan, she comes close to Max to look like she is attached to him.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Grins::  Marken:  Well let’s just say I haven't been caught then.  ::Smiles as he looks at Rose as she approaches giving her a wink.::  And yes some bloodwine.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Relaxes a bit at Max's wink::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Getting worried that Suzi isn't anywhere to be seen:: TO: Lets meet up with Maor. Someone has taken my sister.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*TO*: Seeing you people are so eager to find the OPS, have you had any luck finding the MO? If not I'll devote my resources toward that instead.
Marken says:
::While waiting for a glass of bloodwine makes conversation while making lustful glances at Rose:: Husker: What have you been doing, what’s it been 14, no 15 years!
TO Tarkin says:
*XO*: I am en route to you now, hold there.
TO Tarkin says:
CO: Let's go meet up with Maor now.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Follows Tarkin::
TO Tarkin says:
::Heads to the location showing up for the XO with the CO::
TO Tarkin says:
::Sees the XO:: CO: Over there.
TO Tarkin says:
XO: Hey!
Chief of Security says:
::With an assistant, begins to separate those involved.  Once done, he begins to take names and entertain various offers of a bribe.  It is a tradition well known on the station.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Takes a seat across from Marken.::  Marken:  Well after our last meeting decided I should pick a different region of space to call home for a while.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I saw them take Pandora, but Suzi is not with the brawlers. What happened here?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Takes a seat next to Max, slipping an arm through his for a couple of reasons, not just to reinforce her role.::
Marken says:
Husker: oh? Where might that be?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses in midstep:: CO: How the heck did you two even find me? ::Glances around:: I'm assuming you didn't arrange for the OPS's release then?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles.:::  Marken:  Here and there where ever the latinum came easiest, never have liked staying in one place too long.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I'm a bit more concerned with Suzi's disappearance.
TO Tarkin says:
XO: No we did not arrange for the release. Maybe you will have better luck.
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I can try to track her down if the comm badge is still on her.
Marken says:
Husker: oh, so have you built your own trade empire now??? I am proud of you, no wonder you brought me a gift of my favorite bloodwine!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: You are. ::Considers something:: Hold on. ::Turns to talk to the guy he was talking to a few minutes ago:: Person: Still need it after all. ::Turns back after receiving a nod in return:: CO: Follow me. I may have a lead.
TO Tarkin says:
CO: By the way still nothing on Suzi. ::Looks at his tricorder in secret for a moment::
TO Tarkin says:
::Follows the group::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Marken:  I wouldn't say my own empire just my own little niche, I'm happy with it.  I brought the first cask for old times’ sake, as for the other 4 hoping to trade those for information.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Ok, I just hope we can find her quickly.

ACTION:  Person makes his to the brig.  There he finds the man he is to get unconscious.  With a mental nod, he makes his way to the chief of security.

Marken says:
::Looks at Rose:: SO: How long has he owned you now.  ::Looks to Husker:: Husker: depends on the information, it must be very important for you to want to trade 4 cases
SO Lt Rose says:
::Clears her voice slightly and shrugs::  Marken:  Who says he owns me?
Marken says:
::Laughs:: Husker: she has a sense of humor, I like her
SO Lt Rose says:
::Feels a wee bit concerned about that comment but does not show it as she rests against Max.::
TO Tarkin says:
CO: I can take him to go get some medical care, if necessary.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Glances over to Rose then back to Marken.::  Marken:  As do I that's one of the reason I keep her.  As for the information it is important, someone has been messing with my business, taken a couple of my ships and people and it starting to piss me off.  I understand he used to be part of the syndicate, goes by the name Tankard.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances at the direction of the TO:: TO: Put that away, it's not like she has her badge on, I've checked. God knows why. 
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: What lead do you have?

ACTION: After a few minutes of haggling, Person is soon seen caring out the limp body of OPS to a safe place.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Your remaining latnium bars, best lead you can have on this planet. We're heading toward one of my contacts who still owe me a favor. That and the ID chips I found ::Shows them to the Captain:: on the people who tried to kill us might actually lead us toward her.
Marken says:
Husker: ahh.. yes Tankard, that old son of *****, what would you like to know?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Marken:  Mainly where the hell can I find him.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Just nods, knowing he will have to tap dance on the expenses, but it was Suzi after all.::
TO Tarkin says:
CO/XO: So what's next?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: So you're more worried about a junior officer than you are about your third officer. Any particular reason? ::Points at a random direction for the TO's sake::
Marken says:
Husker: Finding a man like Tankard is no easy task, what do you need from him? He is not part of the syndicate anymore.
TO Tarkin says:
::Plays along::
Marken says:
::Smiles and winks at SO Rose again::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: It's personal She's family.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Blushes slightly and just shakes her head.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Watches as he winks at Rose.::  Marken.:  Keep that up and I might have to forget we're friends, I don't share well.  ::Grins.::  I understand he's not part of the syndicate and maybe we can help each other out, I also have heard you aren't his biggest fans anymore either.  I plan to kill him when I find him.
TO Tarkin says:
::Is shocked for a moment, but it's not the time for the conversation::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I was wondering how long you were going to keep that piece of information to yourself. ::Pauses:: In here. ::Enters a house::
TO Tarkin says:
CO: Whatever we need to do.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I'm not used to having family, so I didn't feel like sharing before. ::Follows into the house, glancing at Tarkin:: TO: Thanks.
Marken says:
Husker: I may hate him with a passion, besides 4 cases were for information, what do I get out of helping you kill him, that’s different, further I would have to hide the fact and protect my involvement, I have investments to protect.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO, TO: Be right back. The people I need to meet are more paranoid than I am. And that's saying a lot. ::Heads toward one of the inside rooms::
TO Tarkin says:
::Stays on standby::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Marken:  I'm sure I can find something to compensate you for the information and the risk, though it should be minimal if the man's dead.  ::Pulls out a small padd.::  This is what I have currently, a large stock of powercells, medkits, engine components.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Just smiles at Maor's words, since they are so true and he's worked with a lot of paranoid people before::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Wonders if Max could actually kill his brother... not that he was a real brother, only one by blood.  But still...::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Returns back to the main room:: CO: Bad news. They have no idea, they'll send out feelers to find out. We have two options now, follow our second lead, the IDs or wait around for any news.
TO Tarkin says:
CO/XO: It might be a trap if we stay still. We can always split up too.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: We follow the second lead. ::Nods at Tarkin's assessment::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: We'll need to secure a transport then. Their complex is at the other side of town.
Marken says:
Husker: hmm, interesting stuff, I think I might be able to find him...
Marken says:
Husker: For an ole friend of course ::Smiles at Rose again::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Unconsciously tightens her hands on Max.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gives a tight grin:: XO: Then by all means, let's secure us some transport.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Squeezes Rose's hand reassuringly::  Marken:  So we have a deal?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Remind me never to kidnap your sister. ::Gets outside, he spots a parked car:: I am assuming you're fine with me stealing that car, right? ::Nods, not even waiting for a answer:: You're nothing like Gomes. ::Begins breaking into the car::
Marken says:
Husker: You are lucky we have always been such good friends, but after 15 years, as hard as it is to trust someone after that long, we have a deal.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I've had a very chequered past, grand theft auto is not that much of a stretch.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Considers, fifteen years... that is quite awhile.  There is much she still does not know about Max.::
TO Tarkin says:
::Follows their lead:: CO/XO: Guess we are doing this.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO, TO: Get in. ::Powers up the transport:: ETA is 15 minutes. ::Activates the destination on the computer::
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Gets in the car:: XO: You're the driver, but I hope you disabled the transponder.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Smiles.::  Marken:  I understand and I appreciate the trust.  I'll send two casks of the wine and the medkits over to you now, the rest you can get when you deliver the information, my ship is docked at docking port 3.
TO Tarkin says:
XO: I hope this works out.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: A transponder? In Orion? Please. ::Addresses the car:: Google Car. Drive.
TO Tarkin says:
Self: Oh Lord! ::Shakes his head::
SO Lt Rose says:
::Shifts slightly, ready to get up.  Her curiosity turning to Varesh and what Tarkin had needed him for.::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Frowns:: CO, TO: Guess that won't work. ::Drives the car toward their destination::
Marken says:
Husker: When I finish my accounting for the day, I will talk to some associates, not sure how long it will take I hope you are not in a rush.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Marken:  Well the sooner he's dead the better but I need to find him first.  ::His voice harsh as he stands pulling Rose up as well.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: more then glad to be leaving she simply nods at Marken::
Marken says:
::Gives a big smile back:: Husker: if you ever change your mind, I will pay good price for that pretty thing.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Glares at Marken... it would be a cold day in hell.::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
Marken.: I'll keep that in mind.  ::Leads Rose out of the VIP area, toward the exit of the bar.::
SO Lt Rose says:
::As they leave the area, she sighs in relief.::
