Klord
<<<Resume Mission>>>

Ambassador Xelef
::waits impatiently for someone to explain what's going on::

Ambassador Suberec
Amb Elgae: This is highly irregular

MO Bishop
::stuffs the brooch in her shoulder bag and begins to move to the next table:: EO: Oooh look! Food.... I'm starved...::grabs his hand:: let's go....

CO Cutter
::putting the finishing touches on his uniform to go down and continue the *^%#$^  negotiations::

Ambassador Elgae
Amb Xelef: Irregular, What did you expect?

Ambassador Suberec
Amb Elgae: Where is Captain Cutter?

EO Davidson
::gets pulled along with the MO:: MO: Okay hand on......gee...what are you a woman on a mission?

XO Skye
::Sees a place to head underneath their type of fencing.....laughs and falls to her knees pulling the CEO's hand bringing him down with her....giggles a bit and nods toward the opening as she begins to wiggle through.::

MO Bishop
::grins back at him:: EO: When it's chocolate and cream... ....YES....

CEO Michaels
::follows quickly behind the XO with a grin on his face, all the while watching their surroundings::

Ambassador Xelef
Amb_Elgae: Ambassador, what is this all about?

CO Cutter
::decides to be kinda sorta productive::  *XO*  Report Sam

Ambassador Suberec
Action: the XO's tunic rips in the back as she wriggles under the fence

EO Davidson
::looks up at the sky::Self:Oh god

Ambassador Elgae
Amb: Xelef: We are here to reach an agreement are we not?

CEO Michaels
::spots a guard looking at them suspiciously and whips the XO around kissing her  as the comm comes in::

XO Skye
::Very quietly:: *CO*: Not a good time, Jase....I'll get back with you shortly.

Ambassador Suberec
Amb Elgae: But isn't the Captain supposed to mediate?

CO Cutter
::throws his hands in the air::  GREAT!  A grumpy dog, a catty cat and a touchy XO.  May I have another!

Ambassador Xelef
AMB_Elgae: That depends on whether these animals will agree to our terms.

EO Davidson
MO: So you like chocolate eh?

XO Skye
::Wraps her arms around the CEO, returning the kiss......leading the CEO away from the guard acting seductively.::

Ambassador Xelef
::flicks her tail towards Elgae::

Ambassador Suberec
All: Yells loudly:: Animals!... who do you think you are you furball?

Ambassador Elgae
Amb Subrerec: The "Starfleet" Captain will be joining us shortly I suppose

CO Cutter
::taps comm badge::  Comupter... record note...  the next opportunity for a negotiation mission is to be handled by the XO.  Record and file.

MO Bishop
EO: Let's put it this way.... I'm of the 60% of human females that prefer chocolate to sex...

Ambassador Xelef
AMB_Suberec: We ARE the superior species here.

CO Cutter
*MO*  Report Ensign

EO Davidson
::gets a little uncomforatable:: MO: Really? So any man that would bring you Chocolate would be a god to you?

CEO Michaels
::out of the corner of his eye, notes the guard's attention turn away from them, and breaks away from the XO::  XO: You know Sam, you really should work on that technique, you're a horrid kisser.  ::grins widely at the joke::

Ambassador Suberec
Amb_Xelef: You have no notion of what a peaceful negotiation is... ::continues yelling:: I believe you are just using this as a pretext to develop another terrorist attack!

XO Skye
::Seeing they are out of the way of the guard takes a step away and looks around wiping her mouth on the back of her sleeve.:: CEO: Where do you think we should head to now?

Ambassador Elgae
AMB Suberec: Furballl! I'll have you know I wouldn't sit on your fur

Ambassador Xelef
::licks her paw and smoothes her fur::

MO Bishop
::freezes hearing the CO comm her:: *CO*: Err.. umm.. just getting something to eat now....::cringes inwardly::.... Umm I mean... everything is okay here...

EO Davidson
::lets out a little laugh hoping the CO didn't hear him::

CO Cutter
::mutters::  At least she answered...  *MO*  Wanna be XO?  Never mind... anything else to report?

CO Cutter
::heads down toward the meeting room::

CEO Michaels
::points to a warehouse just across the way from them::  XO: How about there?

XO Skye
::Rolls her eyes at the CEO's remark.::

Ambassador Elgae
AMB Xelef: Can you refrain from spreading your fur about the place. ::Twitches feathers ::

XO Skye
CEO: Educated guess or closest hiding place?

Ambassador Xelef
AMB_Suberec: You dare call us terrorists? Why you son of a mad hyena!

CO Cutter
::stops in the entrance, watching the Ambassadors argue::

MO Bishop
::looks around cautiously as she begins to pretend to speak to the EO in case someone is watching:: *CO*: Well you know... there are lots of men around.. what can I say? but to get something out of them is a chore.... they don't say much... sheesh... forget socializing with the locals here.....::sarcastic::

CO Cutter
*MO*  Do your best Ensign...  ::sighs::  Cutter out

CEO Michaels
XO: Educated guess at the closest hiding place.  ::Grins::  Besides if we stay here, we'll have to really convince that guard, or he'll know we're not here for what he thinks we are.

Ambassador Elgae
::Glances just in time to notice the Starfleet Captain outside the door::

Ambassador Suberec
::jumps up and his chair flies backwards as he bares his teeth in Amb Xelef's face::

MO Bishop
::looks to the EO as they head to a nearby cafe-style shop::

Ambassador Xelef
::smiles at Elgae:: Amb_Elgae: Sorry dear, have to keep the fur neat.

EO Davidson
MO: What....what I do?

Ambassador Xelef
::hisses at Suberec::

XO Skye
CEO: Good idea......and since my technique needs improving, we wouldn't be doing a very convincing job anyway. ::smirks and heads for the building::

Ambassador Suberec
Action: the CO walks in witnessing the tableau

CO Cutter
::sets his phaser to it's lowest setting, not enough to stun, just enough to sting...  a lot.  Sets it on wide beam and fires on the two Ambassadors::

CEO Michaels
::chuckles and runs after her::

MO Bishop
::raises an eyebrow:: EO: Nothing... I was just about to ask you if you were hungry

FCO Knight
::Follows the EO and MO casually::

EO Davidson
MO: Aye that I am. ::offers his arm:: Shall we?

XO Skye
::Pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning.::

Ambassador Suberec
::yelps and faces the CO:: How dare you!

CEO Michaels
::finds his way along the side of the building and up on top of a pile of crates, giving him a vantage point to see into the high windows of the building::

Ambassador Xelef
::falls to the floor::

MO Bishop
FCO: What about you Mister.... err.....::tries to remember his name::....Othsolini?

Ambassador Elgae
:: Steps back and shouts :: CO: You must not interfere

FCO Knight
::Smirks at Jay's current manner::

FCO Knight
::Smirk changes to frown:: MO: Othello, like the play.

CO Cutter
All:  If I have your attention now, I will repeat the rules one more time.  I will NOT put up with this childish behavior.  Are we VERY VERY clear on that?

EO Davidson
FCO:I would wipe that off Othello....or else ::smiles::

Ambassador Xelef
::begins to whine:: All: Federation fools!

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Perhaps... but I'm the Federation fool that's in charge right now.  Now please sit down and behave.

MO Bishop
FCO: Right... sorry....::gives him an apologetic smile:: ...Othello... ::glances at him thinking.... strong name::

CEO Michaels
::whispers  down to the XO::  XO: It's a munitions factory, mostly small personal arms, but there's a section for mounted weapons as well...and if all of these are the same thing...then this has got to be the biggest arms manufacturing depot in the quadrant.

Ambassador Suberec
::heads for the door:: All: these negotiations are over!

Ambassador Xelef
CO: You dare to fire at a representative of the Sressih?

CO Cutter
Elgae:  Interfere?  Interfere with what?

FCO Knight
EO/MO: I could use a bite.

Ambassador Elgae
CO: This is my nest. You will abide by my rules. ::Glares::

CEO Michaels
::jumps down quietly next to the XO::  XO: And there's enough guards to take on the whole ship's crew, without a second thought.

MO Bishop
FCO/EO: So are we gonna sit down or am I to dine alone?

XO Skye
CEO:  Well I guess we have something to tell Jason.

EO Davidson
FCO/MO:I would love to go back to our....well "home" and have a nice long shower....if you know what I mean.

CO Cutter
All:  Both of you can walk away from this if you'd like your legacy to be that your own childish behavior was the cause of millions of deaths on both sides.  Is that the story you want your young to tell??

Ambassador Xelef
::gets up with the help of her attendants:: All: We will NOT discuss this further. ::turns and leaves the room::

EO Davidson
MO: Let's sit

Ambassador Suberec
::stops and turns::

FCO Knight
::Sits quietly and looks for a menu::

CEO Michaels
XO: Yeah, I think we know who's been funding the war effort...so to speak.

Ambassador Elgae
CO: See what you have done, You want them to keep fighting

XO Skye
::Heads for the door quietly:: CEO: Let's go.......

Ambassador Suberec
::accidentally bumps into Xelef and knocks her down as she tries to exit::

Ambassador Suberec
::sighs and offers to help her up::

Ambassador Suberec
CO: I should think that even you would see the pointlessness of this

MO Bishop
:;sits with the FCO and EO:: FCO/EO: So how are you liking the tour so far?

CO Cutter
Suberec:  No, I don't actually.   Do you?

Ambassador Xelef
::reaches out with a claw and scratches Suberec:: Amb_Suberec: You idiot!

CEO Michaels
::nods and follows taking her hand and taking up their previous charade::  ::mutters::  XO: Don't expect this on every away mission.  ::grins::

CO Cutter
Suberec:  To try for peace is never pointless.

EO Davidson
MO: Let's just say I have been worse places

FCO Knight
::Looks through the menu::

Ambassador Elgae
::Quickly helps Amb Xelef up and whispers:: Amb Xelef: Do not let him treat you that way...

MO Bishop
EO: Well I guess you get what you pay for huh? ::grins::

Ambassador Suberec
::Growls at Xelef:: CO: She can't even accept decent civilities!

XO Skye
CEO: Well thank the gods I can at least count on that!

EO Davidson
::gins back at the MO:: MO: That point your right.....I am going to complain about this place to our tour company.

CO Cutter
All:  There are issues on both sides.  Can both sides be civilized enough to work through them at the negotiation table?  Is war the only way you know to resolve problems?  Do you both enjoy seeing your people die?

Ambassador Xelef
::Hisses loudly and her eyes narrow at Suberec::

FCO Knight
EO: Why?

MO Bishop
EO: Yeah... maybe we can get our money back....::nudges the FCO:: FCO: What do you think?

XO Skye
::Finding the spot where they entered, points to the CEO to head through first.::

Ambassador Elgae
::Feigns concern over the disagreement::

Ambassador Suberec
CO: I would never needlessly allow my people to die! But how can you make any headway with this! ::points at Xelef::

CEO Michaels
XO: Afraid your shirt will rip the rest of the way?  ::chuckles as he slides under::

CO Cutter
Suberec:  By making the attempt Ambassador.  That is the only way peace comes about.  By making the attempt.

MO Bishop
::glances around the restaurant and at the guards patrolling the streets:: FCO/EO: Well at least we know there aren't any petty thieves around... ::says sarcastically::... I feel so... safe....

XO Skye
CEO: Exactly.  I'll let you clear the way for me.

Ambassador Suberec
Action: a random searchlight catches the XO going under the fence and sirens begin to wail

FCO Knight
MO/EO: I wasn't much for the flight on that second-class cruiser. So cramped and noisy.

EO Davidson
MO: Be careful what you whish for Doc....::smiles::

Ambassador Xelef
CO: Captain, I would prefer another Federation liaison, a female perhaps.

XO Skye
::Heads through the opening right after the CEO.....:: CEO: Um....Not good.....Let's go.

Ambassador Suberec
::takes a small step back into the room::

MO Bishop
::coughs as she looks at the EO:: EO: Jerlia you mean....

Ambassador Elgae
CO: How can they continue after what has happened?, How do we know you were not responsible?

CEO Michaels
::hears the sirens and doesn't wait for her to get all the way through before grabbing her arm, pulling  her through and running::  XO: Best idea you've had all day.

CO Cutter
Xelef:  If that would help, I'm certainly willing.  I, for one, will do what's necessary for peace.

XO Skye
::Takes off with the CEO looking for the nearest hiding place.::

CO Cutter
Suberec:  Do you also wish a different Federation rep?

EO Davidson
MO: Sure, then start calling me Jay

CO Cutter
Elgae:  Ambassador....  you are not helping the situation.  Frankly, you are agitating it.  Why is that?

Ambassador Suberec
CO: ::Gruffly:: you are acceptable

CEO Michaels
::points to an alleyway that leads back to the main thoroughfare and heads straight for it::

Ambassador Elgae
::Feathers begin to puff out around his neck::

Ambassador Xelef
::moves closer to Suberec and sniffs him::

FCO Knight
EO/MO: What's it take t' get a good steak 'round 'ere?

EO Davidson
FCO: Don’t think they have that around here

Ambassador Suberec
::fully reenters the room and sits down::

MO Bishop
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: So what part of Australia are you from anyway?

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Ambassador Suberec has returned to the table.  Can you do less?

Ambassador Elgae
CO: Captain, I believe Amb Xelef has requested another mediator

XO Skye
::Right on the CEO's heels.....:: CEO: There was a crowded bar I saw earlier.......We should be safe there.....

Ambassador Xelef
CO: It seems I have no choice at the moment.

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Thank you.  ::gestures to her chair::

Ambassador Suberec
Amb Xelef: If you have some more of that...nectar... I would drink with you... anything to try to make this work.

Ambassador Xelef
::returns to her seat reluctantly::

CEO Michaels
XO: I'd recommend we find different attire on the way.  ::heading down the alley, slows to a moderate walk so as to not look suspicious and points out a clothing booth::

CO Cutter
Elgae:  If needed, I will get another mediator... but you have not answered the question...  Why are you trying to agitate this situation?

FCO Knight
MO: I'm from a small town out in the bush called Hamilton.

Ambassador Elgae
CO: You are mistaken, I am concerned for the safety of all

MO Bishop
::nods:: FCO: Yes of course...

FCO Knight
MO: It's about 56 miles west o' Canberra.

XO Skye
::"Accidentally" runs into the booth knocking stuff all over the place hoping the CEO will realize what to do.....and then apologizes profusely to the vendor for her clumsiness.::

Ambassador Xelef
:;motions to her attendant to give Suberec some nectar::

CO Cutter
Elgae:  I'm pleased to hear that.   Your actions today would seem to say otherwise... perhaps you should review those actions and make the appropriate corrections.

EO Davidson
::sits back and relaxes in the chair::

MO Bishop
FCO: I've been to Canberra, I have a few distant relatives down there...

CEO Michaels
::grabs a couple cloaks as they  turn and head for the bar::  XO: You know, I was actually going to pay for them...

Ambassador Xelef
::takes a cup as well::

Ambassador Suberec
::takes the nectar and drinks::

CO Cutter
Suberec:  My compliments Ambassador.  A step in the correct direction.

XO Skye
CEO: With what?  Do you know how to manufacture their currency?

Ambassador Elgae
CO: We have not discovered the persons involved in the incident, all of you are suspect.

CEO Michaels
::pulls some of the money out of his pocket::  XO: Picked it off a guy on the way to the booth.  ::grins::  I'll buy you a drink.  ::hands her one of the cloaks::

Ambassador Suberec
CO: I suppose we could find some way to share the holy places.... I have no idea how.... and the terrorist attacks will HAVE to stop...

Ambassador Xelef
Amb_Suberec: Is the nectar to your liking Suberec?

EO Davidson
FCO/MO: I wonder where the two new Love Birds are

CO Cutter
Elgae:  The investigation is underway.  We will soon find out.

Ambassador Elgae
::Glares again::

XO Skye
::pulls her new outfit over her SF uniform and pulls out a padd typing a message to Jason.:: CEO: You're on.....I'm going to let the CO know what's going on.

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef:  Both of you wish the attacks to stop, correct?

MO Bishop
::furrows her eyebrow:: FCO/EO: Love birds?

Ambassador Suberec
Amb Xelef: A bit musky for my taste but if it means something to you I'm willing to try

Ambassador Xelef
CO: Of course we do.

EO Davidson
MO: Yeah.....the two newly weds that were on the transport with us....you know.....you were talking to them the whole trip

XO Skye
::types "Jason, the Srelbraw are pitting the cats and dogs against each other.....they are fueling the feud......We've seen it with out own eyes."::

Ambassador Elgae
ALL: I suggest we postpone until we can ensure your safety

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef:  Excellent!  Another point we can agree upon.  The two of you have more in common than you believed... you both love your people and care for them.  It's a starting place.

Ambassador Suberec
CO: Rhetoric aside... of course the Tolafra wish the killings to end

Ambassador Xelef
::places her cup on the table::

CO Cutter
::glances down at his padd and quickly reads the XO's message::

CEO Michaels
::enters the bar behind the XO and finds a table in the corner, ordering a couple drinks::

MO Bishop
:;still doesn't know what he's talking about but plays along:: EO: Oh yes, right.... I'm not sure.. I haven't seen them since we got here....

Ambassador Suberec
Elgae: do you fear further attacks? ::starts to rise::

XO Skye
::Types. "We have seen a munitions building where they are manufacturing the weapons......both sides are using the same weapons sold to them by the bird types."::

EO Davidson
::leans over and whispers:: MO: The XO and the CEO ::Leans back:: Now you know who Jerlia?

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Suberec has stated that sharing of the site is possible... would you admit to the same possibility?

MO Bishop
::looks around:: EO: Well I don't know about you, but I'm tired of waiting in this joint.... I'm going to find another booth that sells quick fixes.... ::stands and looks at the FCO and EO:: ... you with me?

Ambassador Elgae
::Steps forward and clears throat::

EO Davidson
MO: We should try and find those newly weds and see what’s up? ::looks at her:

CO Cutter
::looks at Elgae suspiciously::

EO Davidson
FCO/MO Agreed?

MO Bishop
::stands and leaves with the FCO and EO... leans in to the EO and whispers VERY silently:: EO: The CEO was pretending to be my husband.....

Ambassador Suberec
::looks at Elgae expectantly::

FCO Knight
::Follows behind the EO and MO::

Ambassador Xelef
::raises a whisker:: CO: Possibly that might be arranged, but only after the Tolafra stop their attacks.

EO Davidson
::leans in closely:: MO: Better get a separation......can you locate the XO or CEO?

Ambassador Elgae
::Nods to one of his assistants::

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Very good!  Both sides have already agreed that the attacks need to stop.  We simply must work the logistics of a cease-fire.

Ambassador Suberec
Action: armed guards can be seen running about stopping folks and asking questions... a few point in the general direction of the ATs

XO Skye
::Types CO: "You getting any of this, Jason?"::

Ambassador Elgae
ALL: I think it prudent for us to pause while security rechecks the area

MO Bishop
::looks at the FCO and EO:: FCO/EO: Well you know... I think we better head off this way, don't you think guys? ::gives the EO a "stop with the formalities look"::

XO Skye
::Sensing someone on their trail pulls her hood further over her head.::

Ambassador Suberec
::pounds the table:: We act only in self defense!

EO Davidson
::grabs the FCO's and MO's arm:: MO/FCO:I think we have been made....let get out of here ::whispers this::

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef:  May I have your attention for a moment?

CEO Michaels
XO: Maybe it's just me and my paranoia...but I'm getting the feeling this won't be a safe hiding place for long.

CO Cutter
::types on the padd::  XO:  Got it

XO Skye
::Erases everything on the padd and then destroys it by smashing it under her foot.::

Ambassador Xelef
::hisses at Suberec again as he pounds the table::

Ambassador Suberec
::sighs again:: CO: I thought we were giving you our attention

MO Bishop
FCO/EO: Oh look another coffee shop.... let'

Ambassador Elgae
CO: Captain, I must protest, You must honor my request

XO Skye
CEO: You're not even Betazoid, but I'm sensing the same thing.......We need to head out.

MO Bishop
FCO/EO: Oh look another coffee shop.... let's not RUSH things.....::glares at the EO as she heads off::

CO Cutter
::nods to Suberec::   All:  While we have been talking, my XO has lead a team investigating the action of the Srelbraw in this issue.

CEO Michaels
::gets up and makes his way out of the bar, being sure not to show his face to anyone on the way::

EO Davidson
FCO/MO: Agreed. Lets find the newly weds first......that’s our top priority

FCO Knight
EO: We should lay low and act casual. If we run, we'll definitely give ourselves away.

CO Cutter
All:  She has determined that the Srelbraw are making weapons and selling them to both of you... effectively equipping both of you to fight.

Ambassador Elgae
::Butts in as Captain speaks:: All: Please I fear for your safety

Ambassador Suberec
::makes a huh noise and looks at the CO::

XO Skye
::Tries to sense which direction they are coming from and where would be a safe place to go.::

Ambassador Xelef
::her whiskers begin to twitch:: CO: The Srelbraw?

CO Cutter
::turns to Elgae::  Elgae:  Why is that Ambassador?  Is it profit?

MO Bishop
::puts her arm around the FCO and laughs, pretending to be "tourist-ish":: FCO: Oh that's so funny, Othello! You are SO right....

EO Davidson
:: whispers :: FCO: Agreed.....lets keep our eyes open for the other two....lets just pretend we are still shopping?

Ambassador Suberec
::Looks at Elgae:: We had a exclusive contract.......

Ambassador Elgae
ALL: I do not make them fight,

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef:  You have been manipulated... your real enemy is not each other.

MO Bishop
::points to the goodies stand:: FCO/EO: Let's go there shall we...::ignores the officials as they look around the crowds for what she hopes isn't them::

Ambassador Elgae
AMB Suberec: Your contract is for weapons, nothing more

CEO Michaels
:: whispers ::XO: I'm not convinced we'll be safe down here for much longer no matter where we are, back to the ship may be our only option.

Ambassador Xelef
::stands:: Elgae: You contracted with our enemy?

CO Cutter
Elgae:  Feel free to explain this Ambassador

EO Davidson
::follows the MO but gets a feeling there still being watched::

XO Skye
*OPS*:  Two to beam up on my order....

FCO Knight
EO/MO: Good. ::Whispers:: We haven't done anything wrong, at least I don’t think so, so we don't have to worry about them lookin' for us.

Ambassador Suberec
::Advances on Elgae:: You mean to tell me you have been supplying the very means to kill my people? ::growling low in his throat::

FCO Knight
EO/MO: ::Whispering:: If they do stop us, just casually answer their questions and don't resist, whatever you do.

Ambassador Xelef
::her claws begin to extend:: Elgae: Yes, explain yourself before I use these to strip the feathers from your scrawny neck. :;raises her paws::

CO Cutter
Suberec:  Hold Ambassador...  restraint will be needed

XO Skye
@<OPS>*XO*: I'm sorry to report transporters are down and may be for some time, Ma'am.

MO Bishop
FCO: WE hope....::pauses and reaches down her bag for some money to buy some treats for all of them, nodding casually at the FCO and EO::

CO Cutter
Xelef:  I understand your feelings, but hold also Ambassador.  We all must rise above this.

CEO Michaels
XO: Can't they ever go down when we DON'T need them?

Ambassador Elgae
AMB Suberec: Do not growl at me. You make your own enemies

CO Cutter
Elgae:  Explain yourself Ambassador...  what motive leads you to pit these races against each other?

Ambassador Suberec
CO: Restraint? You come to us with this information and advise restraint? ::eyes narrow:: I assume you can verify you assertions?

XO Skye
::Glances at the CEO.:: CEO: Murphy's law would have been revoked then and we can't have that, can we?  Well.......we'd better  find a nice hiding place, shall we?

EO Davidson
FCO/MO: ::whispers:: Agreed....but we have to get in contact with the XO somehow....ideas ::looks around and stretches::

Ambassador Elgae
ALL: I give each an opportunity to defend themselves

Ambassador Xelef
::motions her aides to move in closer on Elgae::

MO Bishop
:;hands the FCO and EO some cakes:: FCO/EO: dig in guys.... I don't know about you all, but I'm simply famished

CO Cutter
::shoots a hard glance at Suberec::  Suberec:  If my XO reports it, you may rest assured it is true.

Ambassador Elgae
::Nods to his aid again as he steps back and screeches loudly::

Ambassador Xelef
CO: Captain, if what you say is true then you must allow me to deal with this traitor.

MO Bishop
::nods:: EO: Well we can always take another look around and try to find the tour group while we're at it, I'm sure they'll be heading back soon

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef: As I said, I understand your feelings... but this will be dealt with in accordance with each of your laws.

EO Davidson
::Takes little bites:: MO/FCO: Cover me will  you......I am going to try and contact the XO....I will be around the corner.

CEO Michaels
XO: Once I find this Murphy guy that made up all these laws, remind me to kill him, painfully.  Best place I can think of to hide is in plain sight, how about a scenic walk around the center of town, say near the negotiation building...just in case.  ::smiles::

Ambassador Elgae
Amb Xelef: You would be wise to control yourself, I could cancel your contract and then how would you defend you world?

Ambassador Xelef
CO: Captain, do you know the penalty for treason?

CO Cutter
Suberec/Xelef: Let’s save some lives here...  now that you see what's happening, will you each contact your people and order a cease fire?

MO Bishop
::nods:: EO: Sure, we'll be right here... I think I saw some bathrooms down around that area....::motions to a small shop::

EO Davidson
::whispers:: FCO/MO: Make a scene if you have to ::goes around a corner::

CO Cutter
Xelef:  Under your law Ambassador?  No I don't.

XO Skye
CEO: Fine with me.  Wanna check on shuttle status for me?  See if they will even let them down to the planet.

FCO Knight
::Takes a few bites of the cake while looking into a window::

EO Davidson
::taps his comm badge and whispers:: *XO*: Commander....we have a problem....

Ambassador Suberec
::quickly whips out a wicked looking ceremonial knife and plunges it into Elgae::

Ambassador Xelef
::pulls a knife from beneath her robe and stabs Elgae::

CEO Michaels
XO: They're probably all down for repairs too, thanks to that Murphy guy.  *OPS*: What's the availability of shuttles, we'll need an evac soon.

XO Skye
<w>*EO*: Why doesn't that surprise me?  What is it?

Ambassador Xelef
CO: That is how we deal with traitors!

MO Bishop
::smirks at the EO and notices a heavily armed guard looking their way, jumps at the FCO wrapping her arms around his neck:: FCO: Oh Darling I'd LOVE to!! ::kisses him deeply::

Ambassador Suberec
::Looks at Xelef:: We agreed on that it seems... perhaps anything is possible.... dashes away::

Ambassador Elgae
::Grasps his side and falls::

Ambassador Xelef
::takes her claws and rips into Elgae's neck::

EO Davidson
<w>*XO*:Guards are asking questions...there is a heavily armed guard near us....I have managed to slip away. I would recommend an emergency beam out

FCO Knight
::Looks out the corner of his eye and notices what is going on and succumbs to the MO's ruse, a little too easily::

Ambassador Xelef
