CSO_Syrna says:
::in her dark somber Vulcan robes looking more like she is attending a funeral than going to get married in two days time::

XO_Tarrez says:
::waits at the local transporters for the crew::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::sipping her Plomleek soup in a local cafe and watching the crowd::

CMO_Hunter says:
::Appears on the Surface::

CSO_Syrna says:
::eyes the XO coldly:: XO: Greetings, Commander.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Hello!

SO_Vendal says:
::Orders a new drink while finishing his snack::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods as she sees the CSO::  CSO: Lt. ::walks over next to her::  I am afraid I bear bad news ::lowers her voice so that only they hear::  I have decided not to intervene in your situation.  It has been made clear that this is outside the duties of an XO and as such I am left with a personal choice, and since I do not agree with your people customs, I am choosing to do nothing. ::motions to the CMO that she will be right there:

FCO_Curgan says:
::seeing that it is almost time to meet the XO, Ens. Curgan moves off towards the Insight::

CMO_Hunter says:
::nods to the XO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::moves more stiffly than anyone has ever seen her:: XO: That is your choice. ::sounds flat and cold::

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: You are the one that must confront D’von and inform him of the ritual.

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: If he will even speak to me. He is not here, as you see.

XO_Tarrez says:
::knows that if she really want to see him she can.  Moves off to greet the rest of the crew::

SO_Vendal says:
::notices the time and rushes to the transporter station to meet up with everyone::

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I would appreciate that you do one thing for me in this... please inform the crew that my intended has allowed my fellow officers to attend our wedding. It is a rare thing for non-Vulcans to attend such an event... since it is a very private matter in our culture.

XO_Tarrez says:
::Sees the group and assumes all are here that is going to be here::  All: Greetings.  The Insight is a two block walk in this direction.  Please follow me. ::smiles::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to the CSO before she leads the group away::

SO_Vendal says:
::arrives just in time to hear XO's words and starts panting from the sprint:: Self: Hope they walk slow.

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks purposefully behind looking quite saturnine::

FCO_Curgan says:
::sees the group about to move off and slinks in beside the SO::

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks besides the XO::

SO_Vendal says:
::smiles at the FCO and begins to breathe slower::

XO_Tarrez says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: Morning.

Host Brett says:
Action: As the crew walks toward the restaurant, they pass a small, open air cafe.  The peaceful cam of the morning is suddenly shattered by the sound of raised voices and the clattering of dishes.

FCO_Curgan says:
::gives a knowing smile to the SO and listens in on the groups conversation::

CSO_Syrna says:
::places her hands behind her back and fiddles with the fork she has turned into a bracelet, underneath her dark robes::

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his eyebrow and peers in the direction of the commotion::

CSO_Syrna says:
::calmly looks in the direction of the commotion::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::has hold of a young Vulcan woman and has pushed her up against the wall:: Vulcan: Not so fast you Rommie spy....

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::smiles:: Good...::looks over at the store front::

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns to look at the commotion::

SO_Vendal says:
::looks in the direction of the sound startled::

CMO_Hunter says:
::aloud:: what the... ??

XO_Tarrez says:
::rushes to the scene seeing that a SF personal is involve::  EO: What is going on here?

Host Brett says:
Action: As the crew looks toward the disturbance, they see a red haired woman in Starfleet uniform shoving a young Vulcan woman against the wall.  Several patrons begin to converge on the scene, curious.

SO_Vendal says:
::looks to the XO for a cue as to how to react::

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks around to see if anyone else is hurt::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::tussles with the young woman and almost loses her grip as she tries to hit her comm badge.  Looks up at the XO and loses her hold:: XO: Commander, I have a Romulan spy!  Help me!

CSO_Syrna says:
::very quietly and calmly walks over, wondering why this red-headed woman is claiming this young woman is a spy::

Host Brett says:
Action: The young Vulcan woman takes advantage of the EO's distraction and breaks free of her grip.  She slips off through the thickening crowd.

CMO_Hunter says:
FCO: Curgan, follow that one!

XO_Tarrez says:
::moves after the woman::  EO: How do you know this? 

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves off after the woman::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::tries to grab her but is hampered by the crowd:: All: Stop her!  She's a Romulan!

XO_Tarrez says:
EO: ::almost shouts as she reaches for the woman::  How do you know this!

SO_Vendal says:
::Confused by the incident he stands nearby to be of any help needed::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: She wouldn't run if something wasn't amiss....

Host Brett says:
Action: The girl moves quickly through the crowd and the FCO soon loses her as she blends in with the many other Vulcans on the street.

CSO_Syrna says:
::watches the girl scamper off careful not to touch anyone::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::turns towards the XO:: XO: I was sitting here eating some of this soup when she came in.  I heard her say 'Jolan True"... ::growls:: Rotten dirty Romulan spy....

FCO_Curgan says:
::grumbles as he taps his comm badge:: XO: I've lost her Ma'am.

SO_Vendal says:
CMO: I don't mean to be disagreeable but it seemed to me that she was scared, she could have been running because of that.

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: She's Vulcan, the Logical thing to do would be to stand and confess innocence if she was indeed innocent.

XO_Tarrez says:
::sighs as she loses sight of the girl and turns to the EO::  EO: What does Jolan True mean? ::knows what it means but wonders how the EO does::

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders where a Vulcan would learn how to say farewell in Romulan, then remembers the Yacht they saw on Tegedaar::

SO_Vendal says:
CMO: I understand, was only trying to point out other options

Host Brett says:
Action: As the crowd begins to thin, several Vulcan constables appear and begin questioning the on-lookers.

CMO_Hunter says:
SO:: Thank you Lt, ::smiles::

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO:  She may not have wished to explain her actions....

Host EO_McHugh says:
XO: ::not entirely trusting of the XO and the CMO standing next to her:: Look...I know I may be just a puny human...but I know a Romulan phrase when I hear one.

XO_Tarrez says:
EO: So everyone that speaks a Romulan phase is a spy? ::gives the EO a very stern look::

SO_Vendal says:
CSO: I understand our need to help but aren't we expected at the brunch?

Host Constable says:
::Approaches the Starfleet crew.::

CMO_Hunter says:
CSO: Interesting thought....

Host Constable says:
::Surveys them coolly::  XO: Commander, I have questions.

FCO_Curgan says:
::ambles back from the now dispersed crowd::

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: We are indeed expected there.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::looks around for the woman:: XO: In my book it does...::pauses::... Commander.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::  Constable: Understood.

Host Constable says:
XO: Tell me what happened here.

Host Constable says:
Action: Several other constables have contained the cafe patrons and the on-lookers inside the cafe and are questioning them.  They stand as unobtrusive guards at all the exits.

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Shall I walk ahead and maintain our reservation at the Insight?

XO_Tarrez says:
::shakes her head no to the CSO seeing the guards and assuming that they aren’t suppose to leave::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::grinds her teeth in frustration as she sees that the girl got away completely::

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: Commander... if I may.... I had an idea.... may I walk with you?

XO_Tarrez says:
Constable: We were making our way to the Insight when we head a commotion.  I looked over her and saw my EO officer holding on to what appeared to be a Vulcan.  I asked the EO to explain the situation.

SO_Vendal says:
::when he is approached by a constable he answers any and all questions ::

Host Second Constable says:
SO: Tell me what happened.

XO_Tarrez says:
Constable:  She then told me that the Vulcan was a Romulan spy.  At which point the young woman slipped from her grasp and disappeared into the crowd.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at the CMO, sees the SO being questioned and decides to save her idea for later::

CMO_Hunter says:
EO: ::in Romulan:: Does this make me a Romulan spy as well?

Host EO_McHugh says:
::ignores the CMO and watches the XO intently determined to have her say:: Constable: That's right...I was eating my soup when I saw this young Vulcan woman talking to the waiter.  I heard her say "Jolen True".

CSO_Syrna says:
::shores up her mind shields which are already in place due to her condition::

XO_Tarrez says:
::throws a stern look at the EO that tells her to shut up::

CMO_Hunter says:
::falls back a bit:: CSO: What’s wrong?

Host Constable says:
XO: ::Looks coolly at the EO::  I see.  I should make you aware that the penalty for causing a disturbance on Vulcan can be...severe.  I will inform your Commanding Officer, and perhaps Starfleet Command.

Host Constable says:
EO: Ensign, why did you suspect the woman of being a spy?

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO: What do you mean? ::said very calmly::

SO_Vendal says:
Second Constable: We were walking along when there was a huge crash.  We all looked over and saw this woman ::points to the EO:: roughly holding a small girl.  She may be Vulcan, and I mean no disrespect but she looked scared.  The woman said she was a Romulan spy and the girl got out of her grip in the tussle

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods::  Constable: My commanding officer is being questioned by your High Counsel so for the time being I am the one in charge.

FCO_Curgan says:
::stands at ease a fair bit to one side of the XO::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::throws a look at the XO and then answers:: Constable: Why would she say "Jolen True" which is a form of farewell in Romulan.  The minute I heard that I knew she was a spy...in fact there may be more...

CMO_Hunter says:
CSO: You look different...and you said you had an idea...yet you didn't say anything else, that’s, very unlike you.

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO: I suppose I look different since I am in my Vulcan robes and not my uniform. ::very matter-of-fact sounding::

CSO_Syrna says:
::in hushed tones:: CMO: I was gong to speak of our trip, but... I decided later would be a better time to discuss Inu Tontsu.

CMO_Hunter says:
CSO: Oh. Kay....::still doesn’t believe her:: Well, let me know if you need anything ok.

CSO_Syrna says:
CMO: Understood. ::nods::

Host EO_McHugh says:
Constable: I was trying to detain her and have her brought aboard our ship for questioning when she got away.

SO_Vendal says:
::hears the EO's comment:: EO: Is it possible you misheard what she said, she could have said a million things and it could have sounded like what you heard.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::snaps:: SO: I know what I heard!

Host EO_McHugh says:
::turns to the Constable:: Constable: Look...why don't you ask the waiter?  She was talking to him!

SO_Vendal says:
EO: You don't have to get mad at me I am only asking a question, you sound a little agitated, but why would you take her to our ship you could have turned her into the local constable?

XO_Tarrez says:
EO/SO: Enough!

Host Constable says:
::Wonders if more constables may be needed.  Turns to look at the waiter.::

SO_Vendal says:
::snaps quiet immediately at XO's command::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::bites back what she was going to say to the SO but gives him a look that would kill if it could::

XO_Tarrez says:
EO/SO: We are representatives of our ship and SF. 

SO_Vendal says:
XO: Understood

Host Constable says:
Action: The constable questions the waiter, the crew overhears this.  He says, while he finds the off-worlds to be rude and disruptive, they are not mistaken.  The woman did, in fact, speak the words.

SO_Vendal says:
::looks abashed::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::gives a triumphant look around that she was right::

Host Constable says:
Action: Further questioning leads to the following:  The girl frequents the cafe almost every day.  Every third evening, she sits with friends in the park across the street.

Host Constable says:
Action: As she did, three nights ago.

Host Constable says:
::Returns to the crew.::  XO: Very well.  I think I have everything I need.  We will contact your Commanding Officer concerning this and any...repercussions.

XO_Tarrez says:
::walks up to the Constable::  Constable: Understood.

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions for the group to follow on to the Insight::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::stands there speechless:: XO: Is that it?  Aren't we going to go find her?  She went off that way... ::points down the road::

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns to the EO:: No.  We are going to the Insight for brunch.  You may either accompany us or return to the ship.  Your choice. ::turns around not waiting for an answer::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to follow the XO::

SO_Vendal says:
::follows the XO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::coolly turns and follows the XO::

Host Constable says:
Action: As the crew departs the cafe, they only walk a block before another Vulcan steps in front of them and holds up his hand in the traditional greeting.  He appears to be middle-agd and dressed in a traditional tunic.

Host Constable says:
Crew: Greetings.  I am Silak, of the V'Shar.  I wish a word with you.

XO_Tarrez says:
::stops short as she almost runs into the Vulcan::  

Host EO_McHugh says:
::follows along behind sullenly and stops when she hears the Vulcan speak::

SO_Vendal says:
::looks to someone to explain what the V'Shar is::

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow at the Vulcan intelligence officer::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak:  Speak. ::studies him::

SO_Vendal says:
::looks obviously confused by this person::

Host Silak says:
Crew: Please remain silent and follow me.  ::Points to a small warehouse nearby.::

FCO_Curgan says:
::whispers to the SO:: SO: The V'Shar are the Vulcan Secret Police...

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at the SO, sees he is confused:: SO: Vulcan intelligence.

SO_Vendal says:
FCO: Uh oh, I should have kept the receipts from the music I bought

SO_Vendal says:
::starts looking though his pockets for the receipts::

Host Silak says:
::Walks quickly toward the warehouse, making sure the crew is following::

FCO_Curgan says:
::eyes the newest Vulcan warily::

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows along::

XO_Tarrez says:
::overhears the comments of her crew and fears them leaving a public place but goes ahead::  CMO: Caution

Host EO_McHugh says:
::starts to move towards the warehouse muttering to herself:: Self: Good...maybe he will follow through and catch that spy...

CMO_Hunter says:
:;follows to the warehouse::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: What’s that?

SO_Vendal says:
::follows the group::

Host Silak says:
::Enters the Warehouse::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: Be on your toes. ::whispers::

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders where Silak's credentials are::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: Sir, I would like to leave some of my crew here.

XO_Tarrez says:
::still has not entered::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::almost pushes her way in determined to be where she can hear what's going on::

Host Silak says:
XO: I understand your caution, but this is a matter of great importance.

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods:: Silak: I understand that as well, but I have no proof that you are who you say you are.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Commander I need to get back to the Ship to give Hawkes his medication

CMO_Hunter says:
::hopes  that Sykora catches on::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to the CMO::

Host Silak says:
XO: We cannot stand on the street and discuss this.  Please enter and all will be explained.  ::Looks around, as if trying to spot hidden watchers.::

CSO_Syrna says:
Silak: Perhaps if you showed us your credentials....

Host Silak says:
CSO: I do not have them on my person.  Once inside, you may contact the V'Shar directly and confirm my identity.  ::Moves inside, leaving the door open behind him.::

Host EO_McHugh says:
:: impatiently:: XO: Here Commander ... I'll check it out.  ::slips past her and through the open doors::

SO_Vendal says:
::Looks worried:: FCO: this doesn't feel right

CMO_Hunter says:
::turns to walk away::

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits to see what the XO does::

XO_Tarrez says:
::enters in and has to bite a rush of anger at the new EO::

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks about as he enters behind the XO::

Host Silak says:
INFO: It is a small room, with a table in the center.  An electronic device rests upon it.  Silak stands next to the table.

XO_Tarrez says:
EO: You will mind your place or I will assign you to your quarters is that understood?

Host EO_McHugh says:
::turns around to the XO:: XO: Looks fairly harmless to me, Commander.  Just thought I'd run the gauntlet for you...

SO_Vendal says:
::enters the building behind everyone else:: Self: I wish I had brought my phaser now, something feels wrong here

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves over to inspect the device on the table::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: SO now what?

Host Silak says:
::Activates the device, a soft hum is heard::  ALL(Except the CSO and CMO): There, now we can speak freely.

CSO_Syrna says:
::steps in so she can hear too::

SO_Vendal says:
::pulls out his tricorder (never leaves home without it) and scans room::

Host Silak says:
Action: The tricorder functions erratically.

Host Silak says:
ALL: Your instruments will not work near this inhibitor.  But, neither will any listening devices the Romulans may be using.

SO_Vendal says:
::obvious distrust is shown on his face as he puts up his tricorder::

Host Silak says:
ALL: I witnessed the disturbance at the cafe.  I wish to speak to you about this suspected Romulan spy.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::perks up when she hears what he says and starts to look at the device with an engineer's eye trying to figure out how it works::

Host Silak says:
::Walks over and closes the door.::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: Would you be so kind as to have your people contact my ship.  That way they can contact me so that we can know that you are who you say you are?

SO_Vendal says:
Silak: Wait you said we could contact someone to verify who you are but if our devices won't work them how do we do that

Host Silak says:
::Hands the XO a communicator.::  XO: Here, you may use it to contact my headquarters.  They will verify my identity.  I commend your caution.

Host Silak says:
XO; Or, if you wish, you may have your vessel do so.

SO_Vendal says:
::looks very out of sorts and begins moving to the corner to watch everyone at once::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: everything ok?

XO_Tarrez says:
::hands it to the CSO trust her to know if something is amiss  since this is her home planet::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::bites back her frustration at the caution displayed by the others and wishes they would just hurry up so she can hear what he has to say::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at the communicator:: Silak: May I step outside with this a moment?

Host Silak says:
CSO: No.

CSO_Syrna says:
Silak: How can I verify where it goes to?

Host Silak says:
ALL: Please, allay your suspicions so that we may discuss the matters at hand.

XO_Tarrez says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Silak: I thought that was what we were trying to do?

CSO_Syrna says:
::uses the communicator:: COM: Del: Duty OPS: This is Lieutenant.... Syrna... please respond.

Host Silak says:
XO: I see that you are, however, there is a fine line between caution and...paranoia.  As I said, time is important.

SO_Vendal says:
::begins to visually study the surroundings::

Host Duty_Ops says:
@COM: CSO: Go ahead Lieutenant.

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: Very well.  As my CSO contacts our ship we can begin our conversation.

CMO_Hunter says:
*Transporter Chief*:: One to beam up!

Host Duty_Ops says:
Action: CMO is beamed to the ship.

CMO_Hunter says:
@::makes his way to the bridge::

CMO_Hunter says:
@::enters the bridge::

SO_Vendal says:
::begins to feel closed in::

CSO_Syrna says:
COM: Del: Duty OPS: Lieutenant Hansen, can you contact the V'Shar and determine that they have an agent that goes by the name of Silak? Also, if you can get a visual on this individual that would be most appreciated. We have been contacted by him and I wish to confirm his identity.

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks about satisfied that there is no ambush waiting and looks towards Silak waiting for him to speak::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::waits to hear what the Vulcan has to say::

Host  Silak says:
ALL: I have spent many weeks tracking down suspected Romulan Agents here on Vulcan.  I have tracked them to this neighborhood.  They have disguised themselves as students at the university and I suspect they are tied to more violent members of the VIM.

Host Duty_Ops says:
@COM:CSO: Stand by.

CMO_Hunter says:
@Duty Ops:: Any contact from the XO or others on the surface?

Host Silak says:
ALL: The Vulcan Isolationist Movement wishes for Vulcan to secede from the Federation and pave the way for a revolution and a full scale Romulan invasion.  I wish your help to stop them.

Host Duty_Ops says:
@CMO: Yes, hold on, I have a spy on the phone.  ::Winks at the CMO::

Host Duty_Ops says:
