Brett
	Summary: After a restful night's sleep, the crew awakens to their second full day on the planet. Following a quick breakfast, at which the Taigu is beset by preparations from his advisors for the signing ceremony later that evening, the crew is free to do as they please. Shortly after breakfast, CO Mordane is contacted by a federation shuttlecraft bringing a fresh young ensign who will be joining their staff. Admiral Kiel thought the boy would find the signing interesting and sent him out to meet you. He is due to beam down shortly.

	<<<<Resume Mission - "Armistice - Part 6">>>>

CMO_P`Trell
	::goes to find West::

Brett
	<Shuttle Pilot> *CO*: Captain, I have one to beam down to you.

CO_Mordane
	::makes his way to the main entrance of the building to meet up with the new crewmember::

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Sits in the courtyard, watching the Pselliads as they go about their business ::

CTO_Marshall
	@::stands and moves to the back of the shuttle cabin::

CO_Mordane
	*Shuttle Pilot*: Energize. ::stands in the foyer, trying to look important::

CTO_Marshall
	@::Takes a deep breath as the transporter effect envelopes him::

Brett
	Action: Ensign Marshall is beamed down to the palace courtyard.

OPS_Knight
	::is in his guest room going over the Del's new crew compliment via records and such, awaiting word of the new crewmember's arrival.::

Brett
	<West> ::Stands in an anteroom speaking with several Psellians::

CMO_P`Trell
	::spots West and waits off to the side until he's done::

CO_Mordane
	::steps out onto the steps and approaches Ensign Marshall::

CTO_Marshall
	::Looks around at his new surroundings, stands at attention::

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Sees someone materialize in the courtyard, moves to investigate. ::

CO_Mordane
	CTO: Ensign Marshall, I would assume. I'm Captain Mordane. ::extends his hand::

Brett
	<West> Finishes with the Psellians and turns. A bright smile comes over his face as he sees the Andorian standing nearby::

Brett
	<West> CMO: Doctor P'Trell, good morning.

OPS_Knight
	::taps his commbadge.:: *XO*: Knight to Commander. Mash'ev.

CTO_Marshall
	CO: Greetings Captain, I am Ensign Xavier Marshall

CTO_Marshall
	::Extends Hand:: CO: Pleased to meet you sir.

XO_Mash`ev
	*OPS* This is Mash'ev, go ahead ensign.

CMO_P`Trell
	::smiles back at him:: West: Good morning. ::quietly:: I had a thought before bed last night... a couple of years ago didn't the delphyne crew intercept a Romulan agent that seemed to be on her way to Psellus III?

CO_Mordane
	CTO: I'm sure you're just thrilled to be down here to see a piece of paper get signed. I know we all are. ::dry sarcasm::

Brett
	<West> ::Frowns:: I seem to recall something about that in the briefings I received. Why?

OPS_Knight
	*XO*: Sir, i've finished updating the Delphyne's manifest and have prepared the new members with quarters and equipment. Has the Ensign arrived?

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Sees the captain talking to the newcomer, assumes he'll be introduced at some point. ::

CTO_Marshall
	CO: Well sir, it beats being at the Academy being yelled at by the Commandant. ::smiles::

XO_Mash`ev
	*OPS* I believe he's just beamed to the courtyard. Excellent work, Mr Knight.

CO_Mordane
	CTO: I suppose it does at that. Ah, and this is Commander Mash'ev, my Executive Officer.

OPS_Knight
	*XO*: Acknowledged sir. I'll join the party shortly.

CMO_P`Trell
	West: Well do you know who that shipment of medicines were supposed to go to? My thought is that if one agent nearly slipped by us... more than likely more of them did... and I was wondering how one might go about finding them on this planet... as... well I am sure all suspect they are still here....

CTO_Marshall
	::Turns head and nods at the XO, extending his hand:: XO: Nice to meet you sir.

XO_Mash`ev
	*OPS* We'll see you soon. Mash'ev out.

Brett
	<West> CMO: I don't know actually. I would assume the local hospital.

XO_Mash`ev
	CTO: Ensign Marshall, it's a pleasure to meet you.

CO_Mordane
	XO: Chief, have we gotten anything new in the leads department... anything come of analyzing the shipping schedules?

OPS_Knight
	::taps his commbadge, sealing the channel and quite thankful he's wearing his uniform and has his equipment already to go leaves his room and heads off to intercept the rest of the crew.::

CMO_P`Trell
	::nods:: West: Ahhh... that makes sense... ::frowns as she thinks she'd be following up a two year old lead:: Sir... what measures have been taken to ensure the Taigu's safety at the signing? Do you think there may be an attempt on his life?

Brett
	<West> CMO: All at the meeting have agreed to come unarmed. The simple fact that the Legion did so is the basis for our renewed hope. They have every reason to mistrust the government as well, as all are wanted for some crime or another.

CTO_Marshall
	CO: So, what can I assist with sir?

CMO_P`Trell
	West: Just because an agreement is made... does not mean it will be followed. ::looks a bit sad:: Ah well, I should take my leave of you sir.... ::pauses:: Oh... I was wondering something else... is there a place on the planet that has strong ties to the Legion?

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Ah, shipping schedule? I'll check into that report, sir.

CO_Mordane
	CTO: At the moment, not a lot. We've got very few leads on the suspected terrorist activities, and we're in a holding pattern as far as the signing goes. Once that gets going, you'll have your hands full with security.

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Tries to recall who was looking into that but knows he'll have to check computer records. ::

CTO_Marshall
	CO: Aye Sir. ::sighs quietly to himself::

Brett
	<West> CMO: None really. They have support from the population in general. But I would say they have stronger sympathizers here in the capitol than in the lowlands.

Brett
	<West> CMO: Doctor, would you perhaps like to have lunch with me later today?

CMO_P`Trell
	West: Oh that's interesting... you'd think that the capitol would be strongest in support of the Taigu. ::pauses as she hears his question:: Yes... that would be nice, thank you ::is a bit surprised::

CMO_P`Trell
	West: Well then I will be back to see you for lunch... while I.... visit the hospital. ::smiles pleasantly at him::

Brett
	<West> ::Smiles:: CMO: Excellent. I will see you then.

CMO_P`Trell
	::turns and goes to find the Captain or Mash'ev::

CTO_Marshall
	::Looks around at the architecture::

CMO_P`Trell
	::finds them all in the courtyard:: CO/XO: Sirs... :;nods at them politely::

OPS_Knight
	::arrives at the edge of the courtyard and notices the rest of the crew, he proceeds to Captain. Mordane and stands at attention.:: CO/XO: Sirs.

XO_Mash`ev
	CMO: Doctor, good to see you today. ::smiles::

XO_Mash`ev
	OPS: Mr Knight, allow me to introduce Mr Marshall.

CO_Mordane
	CMO: Doctor. ::nods, his mind elsewhere::

CMO_P`Trell
	::sees the newcomer, smiles at him, then hears Mash'ev:: XO: Its nice to see you too... I had some thoughts about our present situation and I'd like to speak with you about them... or the Captain... if either of you have a moment.

OPS_Knight
	::nods curtly to the new personnel.:: CTO: Sir.

CO_Mordane
	::is snapped out of his reverie at the Doctor's verbal nudge:: CMO: Oh... of course...

XO_Mash`ev
	CMO: Anytime, doctor.

CTO_Marshall
	OPS: A pleasure to meet you, I'm Ensign Marshall.

OPS_Knight
	::nods and extends his hand.:: CTO: Mick Knight. Ensign.

CMO_P`Trell
	CO/XO: I just remembered that a couple of years back the Delphyne intercepted a Romulan agent who seemed to be on her way here... she was hidden with some vaccine for one of the diseases here... and I was considering taking a trip to the hospital where those medicines were intended to be delivered to... perhaps we can find if they are smuggling Romulans on planet through the hospital.

CO_Mordane
	XO: Sounds to me like we got our lead. How long do we have until the signing ceremony?

XO_Mash`ev
	CMO/CO: That's the best lead we've had thus far.

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: The ceremony is tonight. I'd estimate at least 6 hours including time to and from the hospital.

OPS_Knight
	::raises an eyebrow after overhearing the Doctor.:: CO/XO: Orders? sirs.

CO_Mordane
	CMO: And how long will it take you to get to the Hospital?... Yes, Mr. Knight?

CMO_P`Trell
	CO: Its about a half hour walk from here.

OPS_Knight
	CO: Sorry sir. I couldn't help but react to what the doctor said. I presume we will investigate this immediately and was awaiting your orders.

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Shouldn't someone go with the doctor?

CO_Mordane
	All: Yes, I do think this warrants investigation. We'll look into this, and if we get too close to the signing, Mr. Marshall and I will return to oversee that, while the rest of you continue the investigation.

CTO_Marshall
	::Looks up:: CO: Yes sir.

OPS_Knight
	::nods respectfully.:: CO: Aye sir.

CMO_P`Trell
	CO: So then we are all going?

CO_Mordane
	CMO: It's either that, or we sit here waiting for the next 6 hours. I'd like all the resources we can use, in case we do come onto something.

CMO_P`Trell
	::nods:: CO: Alright then... lets get going... I'll get directions... meet you all out front then?

CMO_P`Trell
	::quickly walks out to find some palace attendant who can tell her how to get there::

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Should we stop at the Grant and pick up phasers? I'd like to pick up some tricorders in any case.

CO_Mordane
	XO: It certainly wouldn't hurt. I'm skeptical about how a two-year old lead is going to come out, but we should be prepared for anything.

CMO_P`Trell
	::gets directions then remembers something:: *CO*: I just remembered something... I'll be out front momentarily...

CMO_P`Trell
	::goes back to her room to get her medkit:: Self: There. :;feels a bit more at home::

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Agreed. I just don't want to startle the locals by showing up with weapons.

OPS_Knight
	::consults with his PADD over the terrain to the hospital facilities and the Geometric map for any detours.::

CMO_P`Trell
	::goes out front to meet up with the rest of the crew::

CO_Mordane
	XO: Well I don't plan on going in with the lot of us either. We may all be tagging along, but there's no sense in overwhelming the hospital staff. The Doctor can handle getting the information, we'll wait outside.

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Very good, sir. ::smiles:: I can imagine what it would be like if we all walked in armed with phasers.

CO_Mordane
	XO: There are days when I wish we could... and then there are some when I have. ::grins::

CO_Mordane
	XO: Why don't you swing by the Grant and meet us there with the equipment?

OPS_Knight
	::meets up with the doctor and checks if his data is current with what the doctor was told from the locals.:: CMO: Do you suggest anything?

CMO_P`Trell
	OPS: Anything like what?

XO_Mash`ev
	CO: Aye, captain! ::grins and leaves for the Grant::

CMO_P`Trell
	::sees the new fellow again:: CTO: Hello, I'm Doctor P'Trell... ::smiles::

OPS_Knight
	CMO: Well, it appears we'll need to stay clear of the main market to not cause such a large scene. So what about that alley way we took yesterday? ::He points to a line on his PADD extending to the hospital.::

CTO_Marshall
	CMO: Howdy, I'm Ensign Marshall......

CMO_P`Trell
	OPS: Oohh... well I went by that house again... and that looked perfectly normal... the alley way the same... it was strange... like the locals knew there could be trouble and they stayed inside.

CMO_P`Trell
	::smiles at the CTO:: CTO: Its great to meet you! How did you enjoy your trip out here?

CTO_Marshall
	CO: These people are very Xenophobic we should limit our dealings to just a few of them, the more questions we start asking the more suspicious they are going to get.

OPS_Knight
	::nods slowly. and shows her the aerial view of the city.:: CMO: Can you suggest any alternate routes?

CTO_Marshall
	CMO: It was a bit bumpy, the pilot didn't seem to know how to pilot.

CMO_P`Trell
	OPS: Your guess is as good as mine... ::smiles:: Well let's all go now...

CO_Mordane
	CMO/OPS: If you two start bickering and get us lost... ::mock warning::

CMO_P`Trell
	CTO: Oh... that's horrible! ::wonders how it could be "bumpy" in space:: Maybe he didn't have the inertial dampeners calibrated quite right... ::starts walking to the hospital::

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Gets to the Grant, gathers away team equipment. ::

CMO_P`Trell
	CO: I got directions from a local. ::keeps walking::

CTO_Marshall
	::Walks alongside the crew quietly::

Brett
	Action: The crew makes its way through the capitol toward the hospital. The day is shaping up to be a warm one, and even here in the highlands the temperature begins to climb to uncomfortable levels. The Psellians out and about seem to be going about business as usual.

CMO_P`Trell
	::is a little cranky as she does not like hot days::

XO_Mash`ev
	:: Distributes equipment to away team::

CMO_P`Trell
	::smiles at the XO as he hands her something:: XO: A phaser?

OPS_Knight
	::grumbles as he's well aware the XO didn't log the checkouts from the Grant.. but takes the equipment none the less.::

XO_Mash`ev
	CMO: Captain's orders, doctor. ::smiling::

CO_Mordane
	CMO: Just a precaution.

CMO_P`Trell
	CO/XO: Sirs... with these we'll just look like the former Romulan oppressors... ::looks concerned::

Brett
	Action: The crew arrives at the hospital. It is a small facility, three floors high. It looks like it might possess 100 beds for patients.

CTO_Marshall
	::Looks around the hospital, checking for any suspicious activity::

CTO_Marshall
	CO: It looks clear sir.

OPS_Knight
	::pockets his Phaser as the rather defenseless sight comes into view.::

CO_Mordane
	CMO: I've already discussed it with the XO, we're not all going inside. There's no need for that, but I want resources available. You can leave the sidearm with us when you go in, if you're uncomfortable with it.

XO_Mash`ev
	CMO: I"d like for you to leave an open channel, doctor, just in case there's a problem.

CMO_P`Trell
	:;was about to plead with the CO to not make her take it:: CO: It is not that I am uncomfortable with a phaser or fighting... but you need to understand how a formerly oppressed people might see such a thing,... ::hears the XO:: Certainly sir.

CMO_P`Trell
	::gives the XO the phaser back, then walks up to the door and presses her commbadge, then goes in::

OPS_Knight
	::walks over to the CTO and whispers.:: CTO: how good of a shot are you?

CO_Mordane
 	::closes his eyes and sighs, wanting to throw diplomacy out the window::

XO_Mash`ev
	:: tries to look inconspicuous, carrying two phasers. ::

CTO_Marshall
	OPS: I was ranked 5th in my graduating class, so I would say fairly decent. ::smiles::

OPS_Knight
	::nods and hands over his Phaser to the CTO.:: CTO: You get to try and rank for 2nd today. I might need cover.
