Prologue: Arriving at Sigma Lotia II, the away team has beamed down to search for someone that can help them collect the Federation's share of the planet's profits. They have materialized in the warehouse sector, just out of sight from any of the locals.

One Iotian, a boy named Butch, discovered the team and is trying to find out what they want. He has offered to help them find the boss for a percentage of the take. Of course the away team is playing it dumb when the boy mentioned the Feds. Not much of a stretch is it?

Back on the Triton, sensors have picked up a contact at the edge of sensor range. A probe has revealed that the ship is coming from the Talos Star System but does not appear to be from there. In fact, new data coming in shows that the ship is of Tholian design. Yikes!

The newly promoted Captain of the Triton has informed Admiral Sheridan of the contact as he decides what his next move should be.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in....."A Piece of Who's Action?".......Chapter three...." Getting Down To Business".....Stardate 10511.03

@XO: I updated the Captain.

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Shakes his head:: Butch: We really don't need to attract attention.

Butch says:
@XO: Hey doll, what's it to you? You just keep your ruby lips shut and let me do my thing.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Thank you, Ian.  ::whispers::  I'm going to spank this little boy if he does not behave himself.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::daintily steps over a pile of rotten garbage as she follows along behind the away team:: *CO*: Sorry sir,  the fire escape was a little more rickety than I wanted.  It was go slow or become that fur rug you are so fond of threatening me with. ::her amusement could be heard in her tone::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Butch:  I'll make a deal with you.  I'll let you do your thing if you promise to behave yourself.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Aye sir

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
:;shakes his head:; Self: I am trying to get some information here. Butch: Tell me something about these Feds, what do you know about them?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*:How is the away team progressing?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: we should go to Red alert while we still can, Sir?

Butch says:
@OPS: Ah, those Feds never show up. Always promising to come and never have the guts to face us. I thinks they are just chickens.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Sir the ship is starting to slow just at the edge of our sensor range.

Butch says:
@XO: Shut the trap doll and listen.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: They've made contact with a young boy who is taking them to see the 'boss'. ::chuckles:: He's precocious enough to give Ensign Polo a run for his money. ::jumps across an alleyway onto the roof of the next building::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Butch: When did they come last time?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Agreed commander. Take us to red alert and maintain your lock on the away team.

Butch says:
@OPS: Nosey ain't ya?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Looks up and down the street as they walk.::

CNS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Sickbay:  Anyone here?

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Grits her teeth.::  Butch:  Well we can always go find someone else to take us to the Boss if you're not going to cooperate.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Yes sir!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
Crew: All hands Red alert!

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Leans closer:: XO: If we have a deal with the bosses, why are we messing with this kid.?

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Butch: Man if you want your share you better work for it.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Sir the probe has been detected should I self destruct it?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Now that sounds like OPS will have his hands full, carry on Mrlr....and we have detected a Tholian vessel so be prepared for emergency beam out

Butch says:
@:: turns and faces the XO :: XO: Hey, go for it lady. I runs this part of town and ain't no one gonna step on my turf.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Ian, what do you think?  ::Said in a voice loud enough that Butch can hear.::  Shall we head off on our own.  This small child obviously doesn't know anyone important around here.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::her ears perk up at that and at hearing the red alert blaring in the background:: *CO*: Aye sir....just give a shout.

ACTION: As the group rounds a corner they meet up with a tall well built man who blocks their path

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@XO: I agree......Lets go talk to someone with some clout.

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@::looks at butch:: Butch: See you made my partner and his doll nervous. 

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: K`Vas out

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Gets a weird feeling they are being followed.::  TO:  Like him?  ::Points to the big man blocking their path.::

Biff says:
Butch: Hey kid, where ya heading?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Steps in front of Sam::

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::pauses at the corner of the building and looks down.  Her tail twitches a bit as she watches the large man and she settles down on her haunches to see what happens::

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
::waits for the captain decision about the probe as he holds the ship in orbit::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Stands quiet, allowing the TO and OPS to do their job.::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@::gets closer to the big man:: Big Man: Howdy there!

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: turns back to face the FCO after talking to CIV:: FCO: Negative they have no claim to this space.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Understood sir

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Looks the man over, holds his gaze.::

Butch says:
Biff: Hiya pally. Just taking these guys to see the boss. Any objections?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: This could be the clue we have been looking for

Biff says:
 :: ignores OPS  but eyes the doll ::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@Butch: I think we should be on our way.

Biff says:
@ Butch :: Naw, go ahead, he's getting restless. Maybe he can use a little entertainment. :: grins ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: What have you found commander?

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Stands behind the TO, not really liking being eyed up by the big man.::  Butch:  I agree, Butch.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO/OPS:  I guess they really do consider women property here.  This is giving me the creeps.  ::sighs.::

Host Butch says:
@<Biff> :: leans over the TO and sniffs him :: TO: Phew! Your year must be about up.

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@XO: yes I am wondering if you should not go back.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: There is a  possibility that the Tholians are why the Lotians have advanced so much

ACTION: The small shuttles around the nearby asteroid begin heading away from the planet and the asteroid

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@Biff: You lookin for trouble,? You came to the right place.::Steps closer.::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  It's okay, Ian.  Let's just go.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@OPS:  We have a mission to accomplish.  Let's just get it done and get out of here.  ::whispered to him.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: What proof do you have?

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Sir we have shuttles in the system but they are head away from the planet.

Biff says:
@TO: Don't push it pally. Just take a bath will ya?

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@:;shakes his head:: TO: let's go. Butch: Come on pally, time is money.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: None sir

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::her ears perk back and forth catching the conversation.  Wonders if she should get involved if it came to a fight. ::

Butch says:
@:: laughs :: All: Hey youse guys coming?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Reaches a hand back to quiet Sam and moves her around Biff, keeping him to his front.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::growls a bit:: CTO: Then what suspicions do you have

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Butch: How distant is the boss from here?

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Thanks Ian.  We almost got to see the boss a lot quicker than we all realized.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Just itching for some action sir

Butch says:
@ :: walks to a large red door and waits :: All: Inside....da boss is inside.

Biff says:
@ :: stands in the street and just watches ::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Butch:  Thank you, Butch.  ::Places her hand on top of his head and tossles his hair a bit.::

Host Butch says:
@ :: pushes the XO's hand away :: XO: Hey don't mess the hair lady.

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Butch: Lead the way man. ::watches the XO and still does not understand why is she not being respectful to the kid::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Butch:  Awh, but you're so cute.  Self:  Not.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
::his finger just above his console wanting for something to happen::

Host Butch says:
@ :: pushes the door open :: All: Youse go inside. I have stuff to do.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::watches them walk up to a building and then leaps across another alley to end up on the roof.  Looks around and stops as a small Terran looking cat hisses and arches it's back at her.  Chuckles as the small beast starts to growl.  Growls back and watches the cat's eyes get big as it turns and scurries away::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Takes the first step inside the building, surveying the area before she moves any further inside.::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@butch: you come with us man, if you want your share, you ain't afraid are you?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@:: Reaches out and grabs Butch.:: Butch: Oh no you don't....Your with us.

ACTION: Inside the building, is a long hallway, with red carpeting and wall lights shining brightly

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Starts to walk inside looking around the building, not waiting for the others, heading down the long carpeted hallway.::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@:: Calls out to LT. Sommers.:: XO: Hold up a minute.

Butch says:
@:: bites the TO and runs off :: TO: Ha! I ain't going...

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Any change in the Tholians course or speed?

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Hears the TO, turns to look around and waits for the others.::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@TO: Let's go: Joins the XO::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Ian, stop playing with the kid.  Let's go.

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Yells and shakes his hand and instinctively reaches for his concealed phaser.

Biff says:
@ :: slowly follows the group inside ::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  I hope you had your rabies vaccination.  ::Giggles.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::watches the away team go into the building and then looks around and sees a fire escape.  Slowly tests it for strength and then carefully climbs down to the first window and peers in cautiously::

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Negative sir but the shuttles that are leaving the system are heading toward the Tholians location

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@OPS: You cover the rear, I don't like this....

ACTION: Noise can be heard coming from behind a wooden door at the end of the hallway

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO/OPS:  I hear something.  What do you think is going on in there?

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@TO: You taking the point Ian? All: Who are we supposed to be? Are we going to reveal ourselves?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*VADM*: Admiral the Tholian is holding position at the edge of our sensor range, but the shuttles are heading for the Tholians position

Adm. Sheridan says:
*CO*: Any aggressive moves Captain?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Should we intercept?

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::heads down the fire escape to the second floor and again checks the windows looking for one that might be open::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Looks toward the noise.:: OPS: Yes I have the point. But that is a good question. ::Nods to the XO.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*VADM*: Nothing detectable but they are at the edge of our sensors, we would have to break orbit to investigate further

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Let's go.  Let's find out who's in charge before we reveal anything.

Adm. Sheridan says:
*CO*: Do you wish to investigate?

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@XO/TO: If we don't have to reveal ourselves we may be from another town. But We really don't know nothing about this place.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@OPS:  If we want our cut, we will need to reveal ourselves.  The mission orders are to get our cut, and get out of here.  But we need to know we are speaking to the "boss."

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*VADM*: This may be where these people are getting their technology, it would be my recommendation admiral

Biff says:
@All: You going in or what? The boss doesn't like to be kept waiting.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Biff:  So he knows we're here?  Someone has informed him already?

Adm. Sheridan says:
*CO*: Then go ahead Captain.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::finds one open and steps into the empty room.  She could hear muffled talking coming from downstairs through the floorboards and pads softly to the door, listening::

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Looks at OPS and nods to Biff.::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Biff: This door? 

Biff says:
@XO: The boss knows everything doll. :: grins ::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Biff:  Are you coming with us?  Or are you waiting outside?

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*VADM*: Aye admiral we will be breaking orbit shortly...K`Vas out

Biff says:
@XO: And miss this? :: laughs ::

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
::has a bad feeling about this as he wonders how the away team is doing::

Biff says:
@ :: nods to OPS :: OPS: Yeah!

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@TO:  Go ahead, Ian.  Open the door.  ::Keeps her hand at her side on her phaser that is hidden.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
:: pushes page and waits for the CIV to contact him from a safe area ::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@:: knocks on the door with a very bad feeling in his guts::

Franko_Berdisio says:
@::the reply comes after a minute:: Door: I'm busy... sell it ta someone who cares.

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Berdisio: Too bad you would really like to hear it.

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::is about to open the door when her comm. unit vibrates.  Cursing steps back and hastens out the window to the fire escape.  Keeps the irritation out of her voice:: *CO*: Aye sir...how can I help you?

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Leans back against the wall so he can see all directions.::

Biff says:
@ :: yells through the door :: Franko: Hey boss there's some guys here to see ya and they have a doll with them.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Biff:  The name's Samantha.

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: We are breaking orbit to investigate the Tholians presence her, is the situation stable enough for our departure.  Can you handle things down there commander

Franko_Berdisio says:
@::finishes putting together what looks to be a really old, but obviously functional rifle:: Bart: Get that, will ya? I gotta see this...

Bart says:
@ :: nods to Franko and pulls the door open ::

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@::Goes to knock on the door, and as it opens, she is now knocking on Bart's head instead.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::flicks an ear towards the house and then shrugs:: *CO*: Aye sir...we'll be fine.  Good hunting.

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Bart:  Whoops!  Sorry.

Bart says:
@ :: rubs his head and sobs ::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
*CIV*: Good hunting to you to Mrlr. K`Vas out

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@::looks at Bart:: Bart: May I come in? 

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Break orbit and set course for that takes us within sensor range of the Tholians

Franko_Berdisio says:
@::gets up from his apparently comfortable chair, leveling the rifle at the new arrivals:: Bart: Can it, ya big baby. I don't pay ya to wuss out.

Bart says:
@Franko : Aw boss...

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
CTO: Commander maintain alert status, sensors to maximum.  Let’s see what they are up to.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Aye sir  ::plots course and engages impulse engines::

CIV_LtCmdr_Mrlr says:
@::is about to return inside when she sees the fire escape goes almost all the way down.  Climbs down carefully and looks into the first floor window::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@::Looks at the rifle then steps in slowly:: Berdisio: Nice piece of iron you got there. 

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Yes sir.

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Sir it will take a whole hour to reach the ship at full impulse

Franko_Berdisio says:
@OPS: That'll be far 'nuff boy. ::motions to both his men:: Search 'em.

ACTION: One of the small shuttles suddenly changes course and heads towards the Triton's location

TO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
@::Grabs Biff by the collar and shoves him into the room before entering, Phaser drawn:: Berdisio:: I wouldn't if I were you/

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
::hears his console beep and reads the information::

OPS_Ens_Polo says:
@Berdisio: You ready for a nice surprise?

Biff says:
@ :: moves to OPS and starts to pat him down ::

FCO_LtJG_Meadows says:
CO: Sir a shuttle has change course and is heading our way

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Franko:  I take it you are in charge?  Boss?  ::Pulls her phaser out and points it at Biff.::

CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
FCO: Understood, hold course lets not let them think we are easily frightened

XO_Lt_Sommers says:
@Biff:  Enough of that.  Leave him be.  You!  ::Points to Biff.::  Over there.  ::Motions to him to move next to Franko.::  You!  ::Points to Franko.::  Hands off the rifle.
