Host CO_Guthrie says:
*XO* Testing. Clear your throat twice if you can hear me, Lt.

@Self: What an odd odour.

CEO_Varek says:
@XO:  Where to sir?

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::clears his throat twice::

CSO_Akira says:
CO: Is there a time factor on this mission, sir.  Should I pull them back at a certain time no matter what?

@*CO*: Achnowledged.

TO_Friday says:
::continues trying to pick up anything from the Romulans, but only gets faint little feelings, nothing special::

EO_Qtor says:
::monitor power to weapons and transporters::

Host CO_Guthrie says:

@::looks around for anyone else::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> ::taps a key combination and beckons the officers inside.::

TO_Friday says:
CO: Something, captain. I'm not sure what it is though. I'll continue to monitor it.

SCI-Tolerov says:
@::spots only a few ceremonial guards::

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::follows her in::

CEO_Varek says:
@::enters the compound::

SCI-Tolerov says:
@::enters the large doors::

Host CO_Guthrie says:
TO: Thank you, Mr. Friday. I know it goes against your grain to "read" people without their consent... and I wouldn't ask you to if this weren't such a delicate situation. ::smiles::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: And what is your business with the Senator...?

CEO_Varek says:
@::wonders if they can trust Verta::

SCI-Tolerov says:
@Self: Romulans are masters of deceit.

EO_Qtor says:
::unconsiously feels for my dak'tagh on my hip"

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> ::smiles......::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: You don't have any weapons on you, do you...?

Host CO_Guthrie says:
::nods:: EO: Excellent.

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::looks around the interior::

SCI-Tolerov says:
@Self: Impressive, a doorperson at every entrance.

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::frowns at her question::Of course not.

Host AGM_Mitch says:
ACTION: The ceremonial guards perk a little to attention around the mention of weapons.

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: A reasonable question...

Host CO_Guthrie says:
EO: Make certain it stays that way, Ensign. ::smiles to herself::

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::starting to get a bad feeling::

EO_Qtor says:
CO:  Aye sir, continuing to monitor

@::looks around and sits down::

SCI-Tolerov says:
@::Sits::

CEO_Varek says:
@::sits::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> ALL: So you're all Vulcans...?

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: Starfleet is becoming less and less imaginative.

SCI-Tolerov says:
@::shows no expression::

XO_tr`Keir says:
@Verta: Excuse me?

Host AGM_Mitch says:

XO_tr`Keir says:
@::looks at Varek::

Host CO_Guthrie says:
::eyes widen at the mention of the names::

Host CO_Guthrie says:
CSO: Might not be necessary after all...

XO_tr`Keir says:
@Verta: If that is what she truely desires, yes.

CSO_Akira says:
:: sighs relief ::

Host CO_Guthrie says:
CSO: I take it you got those names down? Anything in our databanks on them?

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: Well, we're here, aren't we? ::grins:: Trust me, she wants off this rock.

CSO_Akira says:
CO: Lt. Commander Marsh. Starfleet Intel.  Access Restricted.

XO_tr`Keir says:
@Verta: Is that really important Verta?Just in case this room is bugged, I'd rather not say::smiles::

SCI-Tolerov says:
@::knows better than than to trust someone you meet on a hostile planet, pointing a disruptor at you.::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: If this room was bugged, you'd already have a problem.

Host CO_Guthrie says:
::grins widely, inwardly applauding her XO::

TO_Friday says:
::starts to get a headache from all the long distance telepathy::

Host AGM_Mitch says:
@<Verta> XO: Come on, humor me. We've gotten a little paranoid over the years. What ship?

Host CO_Guthrie says:
