Host Capt_Jack  (Actd.mid)

Host Chaz says:
The Triton crew is still aboard the Black jack as it is now entering the atmosphere of Terrell 5,

Host Chaz says:
The one known as "Chaz" has reappeared from the shadows…is he friend or foe?

Host Chaz says:
It is now 0400 hours

Host Chaz says:
The crew will now try and recover data stolen, only to try and steal it back

Host Chaz says:
... A call to duty now presents.....chapter 3. "Cloak and Dagger"

Host Chaz says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>

Host Thorne says:
::looks around a bridge suddenly crawling with people:: T'Ponga: Weren't we alone a minute ago?

Athena says:
::still relaxing, somewhat, in her quarters.  Really has no desire to be around anyone until needed::

T’Ponga says:
::looks around:: Thorne: We were for a second.  Wow it filled up fast.

Tawny says:
::At OPS::

Ashley says:
::Walking down a corridor still mad about the whole situation. She moves to a corner and stands there for a moment gathering herself::

Kalek says:
::on the Black Jack's bridge, recalibrating the tricorder, overhears Thorne's question::

Kayliana says:
::walking down the corridor, in deep thought::

Host Thorne says:
Kalek: Everything calibrated Kalek?

Host Chaz says:
Action: a well built man appears from the shadows near by::

Kalek says:
Thorne:  I am finishing up with the tricorder, and then check my code-breaking device.

Host Capt_Jack says:
::leans against the chair that Thorne is sitting in and grins:: Thorne: So tell me, how much are you willing to take for the little doctor?

Host Chaz says:
ALL: I am sorry to sneak up on you like that

Tawny says:
::listens for comm traffic::

Host Thorne says:
::had tried hard to forget Jack was there:: Capt_Jack:  She's not for sale for the final time Jack!

Ashley says:
::She takes a deep breath and begins heading for the Bridge. Her face is still a little red, she tries to cool it down as she walks::

T’Ponga says:
::looking over her three toys::  Self: It is about time that they put this to good use.  All three for that matter.

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: You have a habit of that it seems

Host Capt_Jack says:
::turns at the voice:: Chaz: Ahh, there you are.

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: Do you see what they sent for me????????

Kalek says:
::notices the man called Chaz arrived from nowhere, ignores him as picks up the code breaking device::

Host Thorne says:
::smiles as he hears T'Ponga:: T'Ponga: I thought you'd like that

Tawny says:
::Hears a voice, looks around.  Then turns back to her board, feet swinging, barely touching the floor::

Ashley says:
::She reaches the Bridge door and waits for a moment. She uses her mind techniques to calm herself and then steps into the Bridge and looks around::

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: Are you ready to tell us what's going on?

T`Ponga says:
::turns her attention to the shadow as it moves into the light and puts her hand on her new phasepulse phaser::

Kayliana says:
::she then realizes she is supposed to be on the bridge, she heads for the nearest turbolift::

Kalek says:
Tawny: This shall be with you. ::hands her a communication scrambler::

T`Ponga says:
::looks directly at Chaz and looks hard at him:: Thorne: I can sense him but I am getting mixed feelings.

Host Thorne says:
ALL: Everyone settle down.  Chaz, I want some answers now

Ashley says:
::She stands in the corner not wanting to be noticed at this time. She just listens::

Host Chaz says:
Thorne: the crew is to... and I quote " become Maquis rebels to succeed in this mission

T`Ponga says:
::continues to look at Chaz::

Kayliana says:
::she enters the TL and she tells it to take her to the bridge, after a few moments, she reaches the bridge, she exits the TL and tries to blend in the background, hoping she wasn't caught for being late again.::

Kalek says:
::keeps the code breaker and grabs the electromagnetic scrambler::  Self:  Hhmm, this device might become useful in this mission.  ::listens to Thorne::

Athena says:
::puts down her padd, better go before they call her:.  Stand up and exits the room walking down to the bridge::

Host Capt_Jack says:
::sees Ashley and winks, his yellow teeth peeking from between his cracked lips::

Host Thorne says:
::can't believe what he's hearing:: Chaz: You want us to be Maquis?

Host Chaz says:
ALL: just in order to pass off.... to get landing

Ashley says:
::She gives Jack an evil eye, if he tries anything this time, she won't be so nice::

Host Thorne says:
::punches a button on the chair:: *Athena*: Athena would your team report to the bridge area please?

T`Ponga says:
Self: Ah so this is why I have this type of phaser and this type of prototype transporter and the bio-sign masker.  They want us to become the Maquis.  Oh no.

Kalek says:
::checks the EM scrambler field integrity::

Athena says:
Throne: Just arrived Thorne

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: I have dealt with the Maquis before sir.

Host Thorne says:
::smiles:: Athena: Ready to be a Maquis?

Kayliana says:
::still hoping she remains hidden behind the others on the bridge::

Athena says:
Thorne: Won't be hard to slip back into the role.

Host Thorne says:
::nods:: Athena: Good

T`Ponga says:
::looks again at the weapon:: Self: Wait up this is no phaser but hey I recognize this.  Yessssssssssssss.

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: When do we leave for the target?

Athena says:
Kayliana: Think you can handle it fleeter? ::doesn’t even turn around::

Kayliana says:
Athena:  Handle what?

Kalek says:
::keeps the device, closes his bag, all checked::

Athena says:
Kayliana: The assignment ::turns around narrowing her eyes::

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: We'll do what we have to. How long till we leave?

T`Ponga says:
:: looks at Kalek:: Kalek: I recognize this item.  It is used to not only mask but to phase with structures and things to go in other words invisible to the sensors and scanners.

Kayliana says:
Athena:  I'll give it the ole' Academy try, Sir.

T`Ponga says:
::nods::  Self: Nice.

Host Chaz says:
Thorne: 1 hour

Ashley says:
::Listening to all of this she is not amused. Why would she be needed on this mission? She is a Doctor not a spy, even though she did this in Special Ops, she just isn’t in the mood::

Athena says:
Kayliana: That's not good enough Ensign!  Now I suggest you get surer of yourself right away or be smart enough not to show your weakness and insecurity.

Tawny says:
::Listens to the others::

Ashley says:
::Eyes widen as she hears Athena say Ensign::

Kalek says:
::looks at the device::  T`Ponga:  Fascinating.  I'd like an opportunity to study further this device.

Kayliana says:
Athena: Sir, Yes, Sir.  Anything else Sir?

Host Chaz says:
ALL: tell them that Starfleet has decommissioned you due to the destruction of a planet on your last mission

Host Thorne says:
::looks at Tawny:: Tawny: Know how to pilot a shuttle?

T`Ponga says:
::ears and eyebrows go up at once:: Self: Tell me she did not say Ensign.

T`Ponga says:
::shows Kalek the item and how it works::

Ashley says:
~~~T'Ponga: Great just a wonderful way to ruin our cover isn't it?~~~

Tawny says:
::Turns and looks at Thorne::  Thorne: A shuttle?  Me?  ::Stammers::  Well, uh, that is, of course

Athena says:
Kayliana: Not for the time being.... ::We are doomed...::
Host Capt_Jack says:
::moves over towards the doctor and circles her::  Ashley: How ya doing sweet thing?

Kalek says:
::raises eyebrow at Chaz last sentence::  Chaz:  That would be a logical reason.  Do you believe they will follow it?

T`Ponga says:
~~~Ashley: Don't tell me she said Ensign.  That is going to get us killed.~~~~

Kalek says:
::watches as T'Ponga shows him how the device works::  T'Ponga:  Intriguing.

Host Chaz says:
ALL: after we pass the landing crew... we are allowed to enter the city

Host Chaz says:
ALL: from there we have a small hideout 20 blocks away from our target... remember you are now "Maquis rebels"

Host Chaz says:
   ALL: after we get cleared turn on your life-sign scramblers 

Host Thorne says:
  Chaz: We'll remember.  Anything else?
Host Chaz says:
  Thorne: I will see you in one hour in the cargo bay... be ready

Host Thorne says:
  Chaz: Understood 

Host Thorne says:
ALL: You heard the man!  We've got one hour.  Go prepare  ::Squeezes T’Ponga’s shoulder and smiles::

Host Chaz says:
Action: Chaz disappears behind the bulkhead

Host Thorne says:
::moves down the corridor to his "quarters".  There're a few "toys" he needs to get.  Chaz: We'll be in the cargo bay in 1 hour ::Self: Where the heck did he go?::  ::looks around and wonders if his crew was listening::

Kayliana says:
::she starts to wonder what gods she angered to get her in this predicament::

Kalek says:
::puts the bag on his shoulder and grabs a crossbow, following the party::

T`Ponga says:
Kalek: I thought you would be interested.  ::feels the squeeze and leaves with Thorne to the cargo bay::
Athena says:
::follows the general crowd::

Kalek says:
::wonders why Chaz never answered his question ... perhaps he has doubts::

Tawny says:
::Gets up and makes a quick stop to her quarters to pick up her gear::

Kayliana says:
::follows close behind her superior::

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: Please be careful, another slip of the lip will get us killed. I would like to get back to our own place in one piece.  I have plans.

Host Thorne says:
::Moves quickly to get his knives and slips them into the specially concealed sheaths he has on his arms and legs.  Custom made, well balanced and very deadly knives::

Ashley says:
::She leaves the Bridge and walks to her "Quarters" She enters them and then takes the supplies she needed. Two hidden knives, and a med kit. She also took a rope and tied it along her waist like a whip::

Kalek says:
Athena:  I'd say the crew would be more comfortable with hand phasers and rifles.

Athena says:
Kalek: I agree it makes little difference to me personally....but phasers would make us more noticeable and detectable.

Tawny says:
::adjusts the mek'leth resting on her hip::

T`Ponga says:
::tucks her own little toys into their concealed compartments and picks up her deadly "Kut'luch" and puts it in its sheath::

Kalek says:
Athena:  Indeed.  ::keeps his crossbow since he has an excellent aiming, that would be the best weapon for him::

Ashley says:
::She quickly leaves her "Quarters" and moves to the Cargo Bay::

Tawny says:
::heads to the cargo bay and listens to Chaz, her hand touching coiled whip::

T`Ponga says:
::keeps pace with Thorne feeling her Kut'luch and how safe it makes her feel and sure of herself::

Kayliana says:
::she adjusts her "equipment" which includes a few knives of various shapes and sizes::

Kalek says:
Thorne:  I am ready, Thorne.  ::realizes that Chaz is gone::

Ashley says:
::She stops for a moment:: Self: Wait I have awhile to wait. ::She changes directions and heads back to the Bridge to check on the rest of the supplies::

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: I never showed you this but it was passed down from my father’s grandfather to me.  ::shows him the Kut'luch::

Host Thorne says:
::looks down at the weapon:: T'Ponga: It's deadly looking enough.  Shall we head to the bay?

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: an hour passes and the crew is now ready with their gear in the Cargo bay::

Tawny says:
::Stands ready and waiting at the cargo bay::

Host Thorne says:
::looks around and checks his troops::

Kalek says:
::is in cargo bay, did not feel the time pass::

Ashley says:
::She is standing in the corner watching everyone, ready for whatever::

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: I am prepared to go.  I have all my supplies that I need.  Lets go. And yes it is quite deadly and I know how to use it.

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: Chaz appears behind a cargo container::

Athena says:
::Ready with all her gear, is not particularly thrilled with this mission::

Kayliana says:
::waits to get the mission over, she hopes she has everything::

Host Thorne says:
::is getting a little tired of Chaz just appearing and disappearing:: Chaz: Alright we're here. Let's get going

Host Thorne says:
ALL: Waiting for an invitation?  Board the shuttle!

Kalek says:
::steps into the shuttle::

Tawny says:
::Jumps at Thorne's command then hurries on board::

Kayliana says:
::follows everyone onto the shuttle........of doom::

Athena says:
::mutters:: Self: And I haven't even picked out an epitaph yet...

Athena says:
::boards the shuttle as ordered::

T`Ponga says:
::follows Thorne and takes a seat::

Tawny says:
::Bumps into a couple of people:: Out loud: Uhm, sorry.  er, uh, ::takes a breath:: excuse me

Ashley says:
::She leaves her corner and enters the shuttle. She takes a seat where there is no console::

Kalek says:
::sits next to Ashley::

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: after everyone is in Chaz closes the hatch::

Tawny says:
::moves to just behind Thorne::

Athena says:
::takes a seat behind Ashley and 'accidentally' kicks the seat in front of her:: Sorry...

Host Capt_Jack says:
::stands back and waves at the crew in the shuttle::

Kayliana says:
::she takes the nearest seat and gets settled::

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: Let's do this

Kalek says:
::waves back to Captain Jack::

Ashley says:
::Turns and looks at Athena:: Athena: No apology needed. ::She turns to Kalek:: Kalek: So ready for this mission? ::Begins to act perky::
Tawny says:
::Hopes she doesn't make a fool of herself in front of everyone::

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: the shuttle exits the Black Jack and enters lands on the landing pad of the city::

Kalek says:
::turns and faces Ashley::  Ashley: I have checked my gear and each device is working within nominal parameters.  I had to recalibrate one of the two EM scramblers, but it is working fine now.

T`Ponga says:
~~~Ashley: You are lying, I feel you are scared and terrified just as we all are.  ::smiles at her::~~~~

Kalek says:
Ashley:  So yes, I am ready.

Ashley says:
Kalek: Good. ::Smiles:: Kalek: I am sure everything is under control.

Host Thorne says:
All: Okay everyone remember we're Maquis

Ashley says:
~~~T'Ponga: I am neither scared nor terrified. I dealt with this while I was in Special Operations. I am just mad at someone at this time. That is the anger you may be getting.~~~

Kayliana says:
::begins running her fingers through her long hair::

T`Ponga says:
::puts on her best Klingon scowl and her genuine Maquis face::

Ashley says:
Thorne: So I guess that means we act rude to each other?

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: a large crew, heavily armed comes to the Shuttle::

Host Thorne says:
Ashley: I guess so...enjoy it!

T`Ponga says:
~~~Ashley: Let go besides we have something else coming!~~~

Ashley says:
::Smiles:: Thorne: Oh I will.

Kalek says:
::thinks  "rude?"::
Host Thorne says:
::hears something in her voice and shoots her a warning glance::

Tawny says:
::Prays that her stutter doesn't come back::

Ashley says:
::Whispers to Kalek:: Kalek: You act mean towards each other. The Maquis are not the nicest people.

Host Capt_Jack says:
::returns to the bridge and comms Thorne::*Thorne*: Hey Thorne old man, just so you don't get your skivvies in a knot, I'm heading out......new orders......be back in five 
days......have a blast and give the doc a kiss for me.

Host Chaz says:
Ashley: you were Starfleet

Kayliana says:
::she quickly ties her hair in a ponytail with a hair tie::

Host Thorne says:
::waits for the crew, looking out at the scenery::  Self :What the?  *Jack*: You're doing what?

Ashley says:
Chaz: Me? No I would never join such a group.

Host Capt_Jack says:
*Thorne*: Gotta make tracks man, new orders.

Athena says:
::figures in civs and with her tats showing doesn't look like your typical fleeter::

Host Thorne says:
*Jack*: Just be here when we need you.  Thorne out

Kalek says:
Ashley:  I am aware of the Maquis behavior, Ashley.  I believe I can emulate such behavior myself.

T`Ponga says:
::sees the group of heavily armed heading towards them and puts her hand on her Kut'luch just as she senses Thorne's emotions::

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: What happened???

Ashley says:
::Projects a thought into Throne:: ~~~Thorne: I won't do anything and you know it.~~~

Athena says:
::Smirks as if there was one type of "Maquis" behavior, there are all types each one different some moral some not, some quite others loud....fleeters::

Host Capt_Jack says:
::cuts the communication link and turns to his own FCO:: Marks: Let’s get out of here and fast.

Host Thorne says:
::Feels like someone is trying to tell him something and winks at Ashley as he realizes it's her::

Ashley says:
::Smiles at Kalek::

Host Thorne says:
Chaz: Are we opening the hatch?  Or do they do an outside scan only

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: one of the men comes over and knock on the window of the shuttle::

Tawny says:
::Jumps at the sound::

Host Thorne says:
::Self: Now that sounds about right::

Host Chaz says:
Thorne: go ahead

Kalek says:
::hears someone knocking on the window, turns to see::

T`Ponga says:
::sinks her feet where they should be and is ready to go as the hatch is opened::

Ashley says:
::Notices Tawny jump and senses fear from many members of the crew::

Host Thorne says:
::looks at the man and raises his hands in a questioning motion::

Host Thorne says:
::punches the switch to open the hatch::

Athena says:
::relaxes into the chair as much as possible and looks completely bored.  She's getting into character::

Kalek says:
Tawny:  Do not fear.

Host Thorne says:
::snarls at the man:: Man: What do you want?

Tawny says:
::Jumps at the voice::  Kalek: W-w-w-  :;gulps:: what?

Kayliana says:
::she just sits there playing with her ponytail::

T`Ponga says:
~~~Ashley: I think between the two of us with Kalek’s help we might be able to project some calm into Tawny?~~~

Ashley says:
~~~T'Ponga: I wouldn't advise it at this point medically. If she gets worse, maybe. But for now I wouldn't.~~~

Host Thorne says:
::looks like he's got a thousand better things to be doing::

T`Ponga says:
::nods at Ashley in recognition::

Tawny says:
Self: Oh great.  Not even in the thick of it yet and already starting to sound like an idiot!  ::closes her eyes and tries to calm herself::

Kalek says:
::whispers::  Tawny:  I can sense you're having troubles to concentrate on your job.   Do not fear the situation, everything will be fine.

Host Thorne says:
::is really getting impatient so isn't playing anymore:: Man: What is it?  I don't have all day

Athena says:
All: Leave the newbie alone, the twit will get used to what she's gotten into eventually ::still in character::

Tawny says:
::Opens her eyes and whispers back::  Kalek:  thanks.  ::swallows hard:: I'll get better, it just takes time

T`Ponga says:
::stands just behind Thorne ready for a fight::

Kalek says:
Tawny:  We'll be leaving this tub soon.

Ashley says:
Athena: Please you know half of this shuttle is full of newbie’s. You can't expect them to not help their kind. ::In character now as well::

Host Thorne says:
::feels T'Ponga's presence and smiles::

Athena says:
Ashley: I can if I expect them to survive, sink or swim survival of the fittest...if they don't make it they don't deserve to

Ashley says:
Athena: Yeah well to bad for them then. In this day and age you need to be quick. ::She looks around::

Host Malek says:
Thorne: Who sent you people here? ::looks suspiciously at the group::

Tawny says:
::Looks at both Ashley and Athena::  Athena/Ashley: I'll survive.  One way or another

Athena says:
Ashley: Your either a wolf or a sheep; no in-between ::taps her shoulder with the huge wolf tatt, with it's bloody teeth::

Ashley says:
::lets out a slight smile to Tawny and mouths "I know you will"::

T`Ponga says:
::shoots a hard look at both Athena and Ashley::

Host Thorne says:
Malek:  We're here on business.  Who wants to know?  ::saying it with enough insolence he hopes::

Host Chaz says:
ACTION: the Man that knocked states" your Captain Thorne of the Triton Right?"

Kayliana says:
::stays absolutely quiet::

Ashley says:
~~~T'Ponga: It is being in character. You better start getting into it or we wont be believable. Remember there is a man out there.~~~

Host Malek says:
::has his men circle the shuttle, rifles raised::

T`Ponga says:
::eyes widen at the mans statement::

Tawny says:
::nods at Ashley and smiles slightly, then turns back and takes a huge deep breath::

Athena says:
T’Ponga: Got a problem sweetcheeks ?

Host Thorne says:
::goes deathly still:: Malek: Why would you ask that?

Ashley says:
Athena: That is one mighty fine tat. Maybe I should get one one of these days.

Kalek says:
::stands as he hears the man recognize Thorne, grabs the crossbow::

Host Thorne says:
::flicks his arm muscle quickly and quietly as a knife slides into his palm::

T`Ponga says:
Athena:  Me have a problem??  No you’re not my problem but I know someone who can make you their problem.

Host Malek says:
::leans over:: Thorne: Just answer the question, are you Captain Knight?

Ashley says:
::Tries not to chuckle at T'Ponga::

Host Thorne says:
Malek: You seem to know that answer already

Tawny says:
::Hears Ashley mention a tat, smiles and thinks about hers, although no one will likely see it, smirks::

T`Ponga says:
Man: And just who are you to be asking that question??????  Who in the hell do we look like?????

Ashley says:
::She hears the word "Captain" and turns quickly looking at the man and Thorne::

Athena says:
T'Ponga: I'd love to see that again...took care of that last space hussy of yours real quick, ready to lose another?

Kayliana says:
::wishes she was able to bring along her make-up, but that wasn't part of the plan::

T`Ponga says:
Athena: When this is over you are dead, do you hear.

Host Thorne says:
::Looks over at Chaz and wonders just what the hell they've gotten into::

Host Malek says:
Thorne: You're here to spy aren't you, or should I say looking for a certain person of interest?

Ashley says:
::Sees what she can sense from Malek::

Host Thorne says:
Malek: I don't know what you've been drinking but you need to get a better fantasy life

Athena says:
T'Ponga:  Funny that's just what I said when his hand accidentally slipped from mine and fell into the plasma....

T`Ponga says:
::puts her hand slowly on the hilt of the Kut'luch::

Athena says:
::grins::

Kalek says:
::listens to the conversation, notices Thorne has a knife on his hand::

Host Malek says:
Thorne: Wise guy aren't you? ::glares at him and raises an eyebrow::

T`Ponga says:
::looks at Athena and winks::

T`Ponga says:
::then turns back at the Man::

Host Thorne says:
Malek: Just not used to being spoken to that way, even as a Maquis

Host Thorne says:
Malek: We've got business planetside, now clear us so we can get it done and get off this mudball

Ashley says:
T'Ponga/Athena: Quiet it down you two! Gosh you are giving me a head ache the size of a Nebula!

T`Ponga says:
::moves her hand ever so slowly to raise it from its sheath::

Host Thorne says:
::shifts his weight so if he has to strike he can do it hard and fast::

Kayliana says:
::looks at Ashley and wonders what her major malfunction is::

Athena says:
Ashley: Watch it or I won't let you keep staying in my quarters...I'm sick of your nagging

T`Ponga says:
~~~Ashley: Have you tried to sense his intentions?~~~~

Host Malek says:
::laughs and pats Thorne's shoulder:: Thorne: Just a test friend. Let's get your people out of sight for a while. Take that road and you'll find accommodations a few blocks away.

Ashley says:
~~~T'Ponga: He is difficult. I am going in a little deeper.~~~

Kalek says:
::holds the crossbow and calculates the range::

Host Thorne says:
Malek: Thank you.  Now clear out and let us get about our business

Ashley says:
Athena: Yeah well it is my job to nag!

Host Thorne says:
ALL: You heard the man; accommodations are that way!

T`Ponga says:
Thorne: Be careful. I don't trust him

Athena says:
Ashley: There's only one way to shut you up....

Kalek says:
::lowers his weapon::

Tawny says:
::shakes her head at Athena and Ashley, then gets up from her seat::

Host Thorne says:
T'Ponga: ::whispering:: Neither do I

T`Ponga says:
::resets the Kut'luch back in its sheath::

Kayliana says:
::she gets up and follows the others::

Ashley says:
::She gets up away from Athena and holds her hand near her skirt area, where a knife is kept::

Host Thorne says:
::waits until Malek is out of sight:: All: Alright let's go and be careful.  Keep your eyes open

Tawny says:
::Counts to 10 and makes her way off the shuttle with the others::

Host Chaz says:
Thorne: lets follow the road and take the next one to our hideout

Ashley says:
Thorne: I really don't like that man Throne. ::Whispers::

T`Ponga says:
::walks next to Thorne::

Host Malek says:
