Host Brett says:
<<<<Resume Mission "The Enemy You Know - Part 5">>>>

CMO_Hunter says:
::safely concealed in the shadows outside T'laus apartment::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::following the XO and SO to meet up with the others::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sees Hunter and motions to her group what direction to go::

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks up stealthily toward where they are supposed to meet::

Host Brett says:
Action: The crew assembles in an alley across the street from T'Lau's apartment.  She lives above a Lute store, Letan's Lutes.  The two story building is made of bureki, volcanic limestone common to Vulcan.

CTO_On says:
::he is beside the CMO hidden in the shadows near T'Lau apartment::

FCO_Curgan says:
::follows close behind the CSO::

Host Brett says:
INFO: At present, there are lights on inside the apartment.  The Lute store is closed for the day.  It is about ten o'clock in the evening.

SO_Vendal says:
::Strolls along as if not doing anything special::

Host Silak says:
::Waits for everyone to assemble::

CMO_Hunter says:
::moves over to the group::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks at Silak as they finally get there... still wondering how far she can trust him::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::stands outside of the group waiting for whatever they decide to do::

SO_Vendal says:
::moves over to the group and tries to get a feel for how they are feeling about the situation::

XO_Tarrez says:
::waits for Silak to speak::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::whispers:: May I suggest that Ms. McHugh stand guard with Mr. Curgan whilst we go inside, if we go inside that is

CTO_On says:
::gets together with the group::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to him::

Host Silak says:
ALL: (Quietly) Good, now that we are all here, we can proceed.  No one has come or gone from her house for an hour.  It is my opinion that we question her now....

CSO_Syrna says:
::watches Silak carefully for any sign that he isn't on the up an up... ::

Host Silak says:
Action: The lights in the apartment go out and T'Lau exits her apartment, walking down the outside stairs toward the street.

CTO_On says:
::listen what Silak is going to say::

CSO_Syrna says:
Silak: She's done nothing wrong.... that seems a bit hasty.

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: Is that common place to question your citizen with little proof.

XO_Tarrez says:
::gets quiet::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::sees her and elbows the XO.  Quietly:: XO: Look...there she goes.

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions for the rest to do the same::

Host Silak says:
::Holds up a hand::  ALL: Wait, she is leaving.  Let us see where she goes.

CSO_Syrna says:
::is worried about where T'Lau is going, wondering::

SO_Vendal says:
::Looks around to see if anyone else is watching her or us::

Host Silak says:
Action: T'Lau, oblivious to the hidden watchers, continues down the street.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::watches the young woman keenly::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks: Some spy... not watching for people following her::

Host Silak says:
::Stands up and begins to follow her::  ALL: Come, but be careful.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves along in a loping crouch, trying to keep quiet::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grudgingly moves behind Silak not liking this more and more by the minute::

SO_Vendal says:
::mimics FCO and follows just behind::

CMO_Hunter says:
::Follows Silak...growing a tad more suspicious of both of them::

CSO_Syrna says:
::stands back a bit, noticing the FCO's almost animalistic prowl::

CTO_On says:
::follow Silak and the group::

Host Silak says:
Action: T’Lau walks down Solkar Street, turns left and proceeds down Temis Street.  You are nearing the area which houses the Vulcan Science Academy and the houses become more opulent.

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows behind toward the back::

CMO_Hunter says:
::whispers to the XO:: XO: Late night study?

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: ::whispers::  Doubtful.

CMO_Hunter says:
::shrugs::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::follows along looking puzzled at the SO and FCO::

SO_Vendal says:
::notices they are the only ones walking like that and stops looking sheepish::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::thinks to herself:: Self: And they called me crazy.  ::continues to follow::

Host Silak says:
Action: T’Lau approaches a Mediterranean style house made of buraki stone, with a flat topped roof.  A metal door opens directly onto the street.  She walks up to it.

Host Silak says:
::Moves quickly into the shadows::

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows suit::

CMO_Hunter says:
::ducks into a small alcove hidden in shadow::

CSO_Syrna says:
::wonders if Sorrak lives here... Thinks: That would be too much of a coincidence wouldn’t it?::

XO_Tarrez says:
::inches up to Silak and whispers:: Silak: Do you know whose house this belongs to?

CSO_Syrna says:
::purposefully memorizes the address::

Host Silak says:
Action: T'Lau rings the chime and the door slides open.  As she enters, an aging Vulcan male is seen in the doorway.  He looks up and down the street briefly then closes the door.

Host Silak says:
XO: (Whispers) No.

Host Silak says:
::Quietly moves up the street toward the house.::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees Silak moving out of the corner of her eye, watches him suspiciously::

SO_Vendal says:
::Looks to the EO:: EO: There may be something here, and I may owe you an appology but you have to admit that up till now there hasn't been that much to prove she is a spy

FCO_Curgan says:
::stalks up along the side of the street, mirroring Silak and watching him closely::

CMO_Hunter says:
::Follows behind the XO and Silak::

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows hesitantly::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::shrugs:: SO: Let's just say there's something to gut instinct.

CSO_Syrna says:
::wants to know what they are talking about, figures Silak will get out his listening device::

Host Silak says:
::Stops and crouches in the shadows at the wall of the house, near the door.::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: what now? ::whispers::

CSO_Syrna says:
::moves quietly up toward Silak::

Host Silak says:
XO: One of you has a tricorder yes?  Scan for life forms inside.

SO_Vendal says:
::moves up with his tricorder out

Host EO_McHugh says:
::stands back and looks around warily::

CMO_Hunter says:
::pulls out his tricorder and scans::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: What about your listening device? ::whispers::

Host Silak says:
XO: (Quietly) It will not penetrate these walls.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::edges back and looks for a way around to the back of the house::

XO_Tarrez says:
::finds that hard to believe with the technology of the age::

CMO_Hunter says:
Silak/XO: I’m reading eight Vulcan life forms and....one Romulan, all but one Vulcan is in the Common room, the last is a bit away, more than likely in another room.

SO_Vendal says:
::tunes the mode into a more specific setting to get fixes on number and type of beings inside and where they are

XO_Tarrez says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CMO: 1 Romulan?

CSO_Syrna says:
::dares not use her telepathy to "listen in", probably would have a hard time controlling it, considering her condition::

Host Silak says:
::Self::  I knew it.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: yes one Romulan life sign...

Host EO_McHugh says:
::looks at the wall around the house and sees the opening by the front door.  Wonders if there is a back entrance and eases around the wall towards the back.  Tries to look over the 5 foot wall but can't see much in the dark::
XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: I recommend that you allow us to call our ship and have them beam down some transport inhibitors and with that and us surrounding the building I think we can keep them there long enough for your constables to arrive. ::still whispering::

CMO_Hunter says:
::scans himself to make sure it can read the differences in physiology::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::takes her stunner out and moves around the corner peering into the darkness looking for a back gate::

FCO_Curgan says:
::notices the EO move around to the rear of the building and moves to follow her::

XO_Tarrez says:
::notices the EO's absence::  CTO: ::whispering:: CTO: Find the EO

XO_Tarrez says:
CTO: and bring her back here.

CTO_On says:
XO: Okay, I go after her ::moves quickly to find the EO::

Host Silak says:
XO: That will not be necessary.  Besides, I am painfully aware of your concern about becoming over involved in a Vulcan matter.  I would ask you to simply assist me while I question them.

CSO_Syrna says:
::is a bit surprised that the XO is doing this... but asks herself what she would do in the XO's place.... is uncertain::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::whispers:: why not call the V’Shar or Vulcan constabulary...this isn’t our matter yet.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::sees something and walks up closer and finds a back gate.  Looks for a latch and tries to open it slowly looking through the gate as she does::

Host Silak says:
::Looks with some concern at the two crewmembers moving around.::

FCO_Curgan says:
::sneaking up behind the EO, not wanting to startle her into giving their position away:: (whispering) EO: What are you doing back here?

CTO_On says:
::sees that he enters a gate and start looking for her::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: I frown very deeply at the thought of "questioning" these people.  I would rather your people do it.

SO_Vendal says:
::Behind the CMO:: XO: I agree, my research indicates that taking martial action in this matter is on very shaky ground

Host EO_McHugh says:
::turns and glares fiercely at the FCO making a shushing motion with her hands.  Pauses to see if anyone in the house heard::

FCO_Curgan says:
::motions for her to stand down::

FCO_Curgan says:
(whisper) EO: Do not enter the compound until we are given orders.

CSO_Syrna says:
::definitely not happy about any of this::

Host Silak says:
XO/CSO: Your point is well taken.  Once we confirm the presence of a Romulan inside, and ascertain the purpose of this gathering, I will contact the my officers at the V'Shar

CTO_On says:
FCO: Maybe we have to stun her to stay back

Host EO_McHugh says:
::ignores him and turns back to the gate and slips through the narrow opening into a small yard of sand with sculpted shrubs.  A sliding door is visible and eases behind a large shrub to look::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: You have conformation that there is a Romulan inside.

CMO_Hunter says:
::getting very annoyed:: Silak:: ::whispers:: Why don’t you have your people do it anyway.

FCO_Curgan says:
::mutters a curse under his breath::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to follow the ensign into the complex::

Host Silak says:
XO/ CSO: Your eager engineer may disrupt this endeavor, we had better move now.  ::Stands up to approach the front door.::

CTO_On says:
::moves also with the FCO into the complex:: FCO: I will be behind you

FCO_Curgan says:
::moving quickly up behind the EO he places his hand on the back of her neck and grips tightly::

FCO_Curgan says:
(whispers harshly) EO: Move back to the front of the building with the rest of the crew, now!

CSO_Syrna says:
::focuses herself, moves behind Silak::

XO_Tarrez says:
::stands and moves forward but stay a bit away from the door::

Host Silak says:
::Arrives at the front door and rings the chime.::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::slips out of his grasp and pulls him down out of sight. Hissing quietly:: FCO: Get down you idiot and watch that door...they may try and escape.

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions for the CMO to scan the life signs again::

FCO_Curgan says:
::growls:: EO:  We should wait outside the gate then...

Host Silak says:
Action: The door slides open slowly, revealing T'Lau.  Her eyes grow wider as she sees Silak who opens the door fully and steps into the hallway.::

CMO_Hunter says:
::scans again::

XO_Tarrez says:
::doesn't enter... yet::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::whispers:: same as before but now with that Vulcan ::points to Silak::

Host Silak says:
T'Lau: Do not interfere.  ::Walks down the short hallway and opens the inner door to the house proper.::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::motions for the FCO to be quiet and goes back to watching the door intently::

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears CMO, follows Silak in, not trusting him::

XO_Tarrez says:
::has a bad feeling::  CMO: Stay here. ::dashes into the house right behind Silak::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods to the CTO:: (whispers) CTO: We are surely acting out of order, please back me up on this...

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::grudgingly:: aye ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to T'Lau:: T'Lau: Who lives here? ::said calmly::

CTO_On says:
FCO: (whispers) I will back you up, now do go back?

Host Silak says:
INFO: Inside in the center of the house, is a garden.  Silak crosses it quickly and enters the living room on the opposite side.  In this room, beginning to rise at the intrusion, are six Vulcans and one Romulan.  All are young.

FCO_Curgan says:
CTO: (whispers) She's not listening to orders.  I only want you to take note of this when I file a report.

FCO_Curgan says:
::the last part was slightly louder so the EO could have heard::

XO_Tarrez says:
::wonders how Silak knows exactly where he is going::

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> CSO: This is the home of Dr. Virel.  Who are you?  What business do you have here?

CTO_On says:
FCO: (whispers) Okay, I will also include that she don't listen to orders

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods smiling grimly::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::decides she's had enough of these two big galumphs having a conversation when they should be quiet and slips quickly to another shrub a little closer to the door and tries to see inside::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to take some more cover::

CSO_Syrna says:
T'Lau: Professor Virel... 4th Dimensional physics... I had him as a teacher.... You seemed to recognize Silak when he entered. He is a member of the V'Shar.

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> CSO: The V'Shar?  No.  Not now.

XO_Tarrez says:
::stays on Silak’s heels stunner set to high::

Host Silak says:
<Virel>  ::Exits a small room and enters the living area::  Silak: By what right do you burst into my home at this hour?

CSO_Syrna says:
T'Lau: Unfortunately... now. You had better tell me what is going on. I am Lieutenant Syrna of the USS Delphyne, Chief Science Officer.

Host Silak says:
Virel: ::Produces V'Shar I.D.::  By the authority of Vulcan Security code 247.2.

SO_Vendal says:
::stands around watching for any unusual people outside the residence::

CMO_Hunter says:
SO:: Figures, us blue shirts clean up the mess that the red and yellows make ::chuckles::

XO_Tarrez says:
::if she does something she might come to regret is glad her crew is not here to be a part of it::

Host Silak says:
<Virel> ::Frowns slightly then his shoulders sag::

XO_Tarrez says:
::Self: A frown and a sag of shoulders from a Vulcan::

Host Silak says:
Action: The seven members of the group all stand, looking somewhat dejected for Vulcans.  The Romulan looks dejected.  A small, satisfied grin, crosses Silak's lips.

SO_Vendal says:
CMO: I still am not comfortable with so much action on our part, if we had provided a perimeter and the V'Shar had gone in alone that would be another matter

XO_Tarrez says:
All: Something is not right here...

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> CSO: I am T'Lau, a student at the local university.  Dr. Virel and a few of us are members of the Reunification Movenment.

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: I've got a bad feeling about this/

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods:: T'Lau: I see. There is a Romulan within... this does not look good. Silak was concerned you were a Romulan spy.

SO_Vendal says:
CMO: Silak appears to have blinders on to other possibilities

Host Silak says:
XO: Thank you for your assistance commander.  ::Takes out a communicator::  I shall now contact the V'Shar and have these persons transported to holding cells.

XO_Tarrez says:
::raises her stunner at Silak::  Silak: Wait!

Host EO_McHugh says:
::edges closer and tries to hear anything inside but can't::

FCO_Curgan says:
::eyes the EO carefully::

Host Silak says:
::Pauses and looks at the XO::  XO: What are you doing?

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to get a more open line of passage to her::

XO_Tarrez says:
Silak: You said you needed to ask questions... yet you have asked none.

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: That he does.....

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> CSO: I am not a Romulan Spy.  Pirek is a Romulan, but he is our contact for the trip I was to make to Romulus.

CTO_On says:
::holds his position and sees the FCO that gets closer to the EO::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: Do you require assistance?

CMO_Hunter says:
*FCO/CTO* Silak has entered the building bring Ms McHugh back to the front please, with all due haste.

XO_Tarrez says:
::hits her comm badge::  *CMO*: Unknown.

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: Update the need...

FCO_Curgan says:
EO: You heard the CMO.  Move out Ensign.

SO_Vendal says:
CMO: Should we move to be able to assist faster if needed?

Host Silak says:
::Puts the communicator back in his pocket::  XO: There is a Romulan here.  No questions need to be asked at this time.  All present will be questioned at V'Shar headquarters.

CSO_Syrna says:
T'Lau: But housing a Romulan is indeed suspicious..... the V'Shar were not aware of his whereabouts.

CTO_On says:
*CMO*: All right, sir. We are now dealing with it

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> ::Hangs her head:: CSO: I know.

Host EO_McHugh says:
::quietly:: FCO/CTO:  You go...someone needs to guard the backdoor.  Go...the XO needs your help.

XO_Tarrez says:
::hits her comm badge::  *CMO*: Contact the ship and contact the V'Shar and tell them that we have a Romulan at this address and request there assistance.

FCO_Curgan says:
EO: No, we were given a direct order to return with you to the front.  The CTO will stay and guard.

CMO_Hunter says:
SO: No, I think we're fine here,

CSO_Syrna says:
T'Lau: Please... join me in the room with the others, I would like to speak with my Executive Officer.

FCO_Curgan says:
EO: As his is the most fit for this duty.

CTO_On says:
EO: Go on I will guard this back door exit

CMO_Hunter says:
::contacts the Delphyne and the V’Shar::

Host Silak says:
XO: Very well Commander.  If it will make you feel better, you may arrange transport for myself and these prisoners.

CMO_Hunter says:
*FCO/CTO/EO* Can you all expedite your arrival to the front.

FCO_Curgan says:
::seething with rage:: EO: Move out now, Ensign!

Host Silak says:
<T'Lau> ::Nods and follows the CSO::

CMO_Hunter says:
COMM Delphyne:; Hunter here, can you put me in contact with the V’Shar headquarters.

CSO_Syrna says:
::leads T'Lau into the room with the others:: XO: This woman informs me that these people are members of the reunification movement... between Romulus and Vulcan. It is not illegal to be a member of such an organization.

Host Silak says:
@<OPS Hansen> *CMO*: Certainly.  Stand by.

XO_Tarrez says:
::while she waits for word from Hunter she starts asking her own questions::  Silak: Why am I watching a room full of Vulcans displaying so much emotions?

CMO_Hunter says:
::thinks Gah! that Hansen woman is still on duty!!!!::

Host Silak says:
XO: I do not understand.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CMO*: Belay that last order a moment

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: Recommendations?

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*:: Too late, Lt Hansen is putting me in contact with them as we speak.

Host EO_McHugh says:
FCO/CTO: Go...I will follow after. Quickly...obviously the CMO and XO need you.  Hurry!

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: I have none... however thus far... there is no concrete evidence of wrong doing.

Host Silak says:
CSO: Of course they would say that.  It is the logical thing to say to prevent their questioning.  Allow me to take them to V'Shar headquarters and all will be discovered.

CMO_Hunter says:
*EO/FCO/CTO*:: All three of you to the front Now!!

XO_Tarrez says:
CSO: Would you agree this is a Vulcan internal matter?

FCO_Curgan says:
::grabs the EO by the arm, very firmly this time, and begins bodily dragging her out the gate::

Host Silak says:
<V'Shar> COMM: CMO: This is Saitek.  How may I help you?

FCO_Curgan says:
CTO: A little help here.

CTO_On says:
::sees the FCO grabs the EO and start to follows them::

CMO_Hunter says:
COMM Saitek:: Ahh Mr Saitek, sorry to disturb you, my Executive Officer had some information she wanted me to relay, can you hold a moment?

Host Silak says:
::Holds out his hand to the CMO for the communicator::

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: On one hand... it is.. but... the reunification itself crosses the border of the Federation. We all know it is illegal to go into the neutral zone. To plan such an endeavor is not, however.

CTO_On says:
FCO: Do you want me to take her legs?

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods:: CTO Anything that'll help::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::tries to break free of the FCO and CTO:: FCO/CTO: You idiots...you'll let them escape.

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*:: I have the V’Shar on line one for you ::smile obvious in his tone::

CTO_On says:
::grabs the EO arm and waits for the FCO to grab the other arm::

FCO_Curgan says:
EO: We have out orders.

SO_Vendal says:
::looks to the CMO:: CMO: I am curious as to what purpose we are serving out here

CSO_Syrna says:
XO: The only person here who may have committed a crime is the Romulan.... but the Federation does not persecute those seeking asylum.

XO_Tarrez says:
Romulan: Are you seeking Asylum?

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Thank you.  ::begins walking to the back gate::

Host Silak says:
<Romulan>XO: No.  I am seeking to free my people.  ::Looks defiant::

Host EO_McHugh says:
::still struggles against them all the way to where the CMO is::

CSO_Syrna says:
::actually looks upon the Romulan with pity, thinks: Regrettable....::

CTO_On says:
::nods back and walks out of that gate with the EO::

Host Silak says:
