SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::in the prison yard with IO, DCO and Mullio::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::In Sickbay looking over supplies and placing them in a medkit that she believes would be useful::

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Sitting around the lavish bridge, his feet propped up, reading over the schematics for this ship and the dossier of their supposed assassin again::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::Is standing near the others in the prison, eyeing Smug dangerously, just waiting for an excuse to do something terrible::

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::in the prison, watching Smug and the others remaining slightly behind without saying a word::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: touring the ship ::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She looks over the hypospray like item and examines it before she places a few in the kit. She makes sure she adds many pain killers as well as items that could clot blood and such::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Well, well, as I live and breathe...heavily; a familiar face.  ::Smiles::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::has just left the CE's quarters and find the nearest Turbolift to the Bridge::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She completes packing up her supplies and closes the kit. She grabs another set of supplies to make a smaller medical kit with slight fewer supplies just in case::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Mullio: I see you remember me... ::smiles:: Let me introduce you to my compatriots, Kizlev and Janan.... ::motions towards them::

Host Smug says:
@::Smiles at them, with the look of a used shuttlecraft dealer::  All: Charmed.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::folds him arms, not impressed with Smug's attitude::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::Wanders into "sickbay" :: CMO: Hi there.. how are things?

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods with a smile, though not with her eyes which, remain focused on him with interest::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Mullio: You know I am all business, let me come quickly to the point.... where can we find your brother?

Host Smug says:
@::Looks slightly surprised but then covers it with his oily smile::  SCI: Who says I have a brother?

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks up at Timrock:: CO: Hello Commander. ::Pauses:: CO: Everything seems in order for now.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::thinks, "Why does that response not surprise me?"::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: Nods :: CMO: Good, with any luck you won’t need half of that but I'm not a great believer in luck

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@ Mullio: Why.... your record does. ::knows full well that he has a brother::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Nods:: CO: Neither am I Commander. I currently have two kits made. One with major supplies and another with lighter supplies. Is there anything else you need from me?

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: sits on a nearby table ::

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::gives him a look which implies she is not interested in hearing him try to tell them they could be wrong::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: I see, well, assuming that the records are true...why do you want to find this alleged sibling of mine?

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She closes the second kit and snaps it shut::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Watches with narrowed eyes from across the yard::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Mullio: He has some information I... well we... ::implying her friends:: want....

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::before he enters the bridge he diverts and heads to sickbay where, when he enters to find the Captain, and the Doctor::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::flexes his hands, ready to apply a little bone against Smug's sinus if it should come to that::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CMO: will do when we get to Rigel :: turns to see the LO enter ::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
CO: Hello Captain / CM: Commander, sir did you get all the supplies you needed accounted for?

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::glances over at Harba::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Really?  And you have come to me to aid you in finding him.  How touching.  After you all were so nice to me, providing me with these lavish accommodations and all, how could I refuse?

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: Nods :: LO: yes thanks, good job by the way - very thorough

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Notices the LO and looks toward his direction::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Catches the look from the Vulcan and busies herself with her painting.::

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::notices Harba but still does not speak::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::raises her eyebrow and in her most Vulcany tone:; Mullio: I may well be Vulcan, but your sarcasm is not lost on me.... perhaps your former first mate would be more cooperative... ::gives him a small smirk::

Host Smug says:
@::Smile slips a bit::  SCI: Alright alright, I suppose it could have been worse.  After all, you did save my life...before you imprisoned me....But what's in it for me?

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
CM: And your supplies Doctor? ::wonders if he was supposed to report for a physical all of a sudden::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
LO: This vessel has given me adequate medical supplies Lieutenant. I would like some standard issue items but I know that is not possible. But everything seems in order.

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Mullio: Well, if you cooperate with us we could see about getting you a reduced sentence.... depending on how valid the information or useful the information is... would make a difference in how reduced.

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Yawns slightly, and thinks about Abertura.  He wasn't supposed to be gone long... wonder what Azhure, or Ranuck are thinking::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
CO: Thank you sir, just doing what needs to be done. Anything else I can do before we leave?

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::is waiting for Smug to cough up the info; time's a wastin'::

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::watches Smug for his reaction::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
LO: Not just now, I’ll catch up with you later - there’s something else I will need you for

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Watches the exchange between the CO and LO thinking the LO has done very well::

Host Smug says:
@::Puts a finger to his chin and assumes a thoughtful pose::  SCI: Hmmm, an interesting offer.  But you realize that, assuming I have a brother, you would be asking me to give up a member of my family...not an easy thing to do.  

Host Smug says:
@SCI: To compensate me for the emotional stress...I will require my immediate release, the return of my ship, and a full pardon for any crimes I have, allegedly, committed.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Smug: There is no negotiation here. You either take our offer or you get nothing. I'm sure that sounds quite clear to you.

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::nods; sensing the CO and CM probably need a moment he prepares to head to the bridge:: CO/CM: Very well, it can't be too hard to find me when you need me. I suppose.

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::gives him a stern look:: Self: Our offer is better then the alternative.

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
LO: Thank you for all of your hard work Lieutenant.

Host Smug says:
@::Looks past Syrna::  IO: I'm sorry, I am speaking with the beautiful lady here.  You may wait over there.  ::Indicates a tree::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::nods and smiles to the LO before watching him leave :: CM: We were supposed to meet up with a Federation agent at Rigel IV, but it seems he has disappeared, I cant escape the possibility that he may be captured, injured - or worse, I’ve penciled you in on the AT to find him, I hope you like away missions

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::leaves sickbay and takes roughly 12 paces where he punches in a personal code and the doors to the bridge swoosh open::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::steps forward menacingly:: Smug: Perhaps I should demonstrate to you just how much...leeway we have in doing business with you.

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Nods to the Commander:: CO: Those are my specialty Commander. I have a great deal of experience in the field, especially when it comes to Special Operations.

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::was about to say something but lets her partners do the talking for her, looks again at Harba, seeing if he gets her point, then hears Smug:: Mullio: I am afraid they are right... I'm not with Starfleet anymore... ::puts her arm in front of the Andorian, as a gentle stop, looks at Kitzlev with no menace in her eyes::

Host Smug says:
@::Looks a bit worried around the false smile::  SCI: Listen, any rough stuff and I won't talk.  I have my rights.  What are you offering?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Sits up slightly as the doors open and turns to see the LO::  LO: Ah, Lieutenant Bodine.  How are you?

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: Stands up :: CM: good, I hate doctors who resent having to leave the office, I’ll leave you to it for now :: nods before turning to leave ::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::untruthfully, but sounding serious:: SCI: He's gonna lie to us. We should silence him for good while we still can. The guards might betray us despite the bribes.

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
AS: Not bad now that the hard work is done, all our supplies are loaded up and checked in ::moves to OPS or at least what he thinks is OPS::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch>  ::Is again watching the group, begins moving toward you slowly, unsure.::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Watches the CO exit and smiles to herself. She grabs the med kits and moves them to an easy access area. She then takes a seat near a console and looks through some files::

AS_Lt_Powers says:
LO: Are you ready for the mission?  Mentally, I mean?

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@ Mullio: Just what I said, a reduced sentence... if you are completely forthcoming... we can possibly see about getting your release as early as... ::pauses and thinks::... maybe even as early as 6 months from now.... ::looks at Kizlev:: IO: We'll know if he lies to us... ::points at her noggin:: not admissible in court... but I'll know.

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::watches the Andorian's reaction:: IO: We can at least give him a chance first ::turns instinctively to Harba with a look which suggests Harba is not welcome::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::wanders out of sickbay toward the bridge ::

Host Smug says:
@::Looks nervously at the IO, then spy's Harba approaching::  SCI: Alright, done!  Six months, and my ship back.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::backs away, hoping he applied the right amount of intimidation needed for this::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@: Mullio if you are completely forthcoming.... then yes. I believe that can be arranged.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::looks behind as he steps back, and spots somebody getting too close for comfort::

CP_Jarek says:
@:: looks around to see what there is to see of any interest::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
AS: While I have never been with Special Forces I have been a Starfleet Bridge Officer for 6 years. I've had time to build up the pit in my stomach. But to say we're prepared? I rather not make that assurance. We have all we should need or at least what the rules would allow. If that is prepared, then yeah,  I can feel mentally comfortable with the mission. Can't start second guessing things now anyway.

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She gets up and decides that she will make a visit to the Bridge since her work in Sickbay was done. She walked through the exit and heads for the Bridge::

AS_Lt_Powers says:
LO: Good.  Best to prepare yourself now.  It won't do to be trying to prepare yourself while under fire.

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Then we have a bargain.  ::Spits in his hand and holds it out to Syrna::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She reaches the Bridge and enters it. She looks around and finds a vacant station::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::looks at his hand questioningly, still doesn’t much like touching others, but sticks out her hand for what would presumably be the handshake::

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Turns to see the Captain and CM wander in::  CO/CM: Ah, Commanders... CO: I was hoping to speak with you...

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks slightly disgusted with that action and even more so when Syrna shakes his hand::

CP_Jarek says:
::makes his way to the Bridge::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Steps up to the IO and smiles warmly::  IO: Hello handsome, what's a nice guy like you doing talking to a scum like him?

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::leers at the Orion inmate wondering what her story is::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: Go ahead

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::keeps her face neutral even though she is saying "Ewwww!" inside::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Nods at the AS:: AS: Lieutenant.

Host Smug says:
@::Shakes Syrna's hand firmly then, seeing Harba, bows and kisses the back of the offered limb::

AS_Lt_Powers says:
CO: This assassin of ours... she's rather dangerous.

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
CM: That didn't take long Doc. ::sees the station the CM has chosen is offline so he brings it online::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: very I think - VERY

CP_Jarek says:
::Enters the bridge and looks for his station::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::looks her up and down, as if undressing her with his eyes and antennae, but is actually looking for a hidden weapon:: Kutch: What's a nice woman like you doing in a prison like this?

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Notices the station come to life:: LO: Why thank you Lieutenant and yes I have completed my task. All med kits have been made and are ready to go.

CP_Jarek says:
:;Notices the face of Ashley Yates::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::gently takes her hand back:: Mullio: Come with me. ::leads him a few feet away where she and he can talk hopefully out of Harba's hearing range::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> IO: I'm innocent!  ::Bats her eyes convincingly::  He tricked me into getting involved with a smuggling scheme, and now look at me.  I don't belong here!  ::Begins to weep::  Please, I'll do anything.  Get me out of here.  ::Holds onto the front of the IO's clothing and sobs::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: but you can stop her :: not being obvious if that’s a statement or a question ::

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She taps a few buttons on the console as she looks through the ship schematics::

Host Smug says:
@::Follows Syrna::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
CM: Glad to hear it. ::notices the Bridge start fill with activity::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::holds her gently by the arms, holding her slightly away from him:: Kutch: Easy now. What is your name?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
CO: That is not my concern right now... my concern is finding her before she can do any harm.

CP_Jarek says:
::Walks over to helm control and motions for the person sitting there to be relieved::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Mullio: Tell me how to find your brother? Where is he hiding?

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Sniffs::  Harba.  What's yours?  ::Still resting her palms on his chest.::

DCO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::goes over to the tree and sits down, it seems the SCI has really taken control and the IO has his hands full, she watches the SCI and Smug::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Alright.  He has a tavern on Rigel II.  He maintains his offices there.  It is called The Drunken Tribble.

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: That won’t prove easy with this masking device she uses, added to that the fact she uses a weapon that has no energy signature :: shakes his head ::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::nods:: Mullio: Do you know how often he frequents it? Is he there all the time?

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::tries to feign concern for her:: Kutch: Kizlev. I must say, a woman of your abilities would go far in...Say, smuggling. Perhaps even, less noticeable jobs. Have you ever killed someone before?

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::overhears the CO:: CO/AS: Have we determined what type of weapon she does use?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
CO: She disappears from standard tricorders and sensors... it's too bad we don't have a couple Prism tricorders.  They might at least give us some advantage

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Looks horrified::  No!  Of course not!

CP_Jarek says:
:: Sits at helm control and begins to study its workings::

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::looks at the CP he appeared to be motioning to someone at the helm but the seat was vacant, John decides it is best to dismiss it::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: That I don't know, it has been several years since I was there.  ::Looks pointedly at his surroundings::  But I know that he doesn't go onto space any more, so he is usually there.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Kutch: Pity. There are great opportunities in the underworld. It's unfortunate I can do nothing for you. ::looks remorseful::

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: grins at the AS's comment :: AS funny you should say that

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Smug: Doesn't go into space anymore? ::thinks about the image she saw and if it could have been taken on  Rigel II or not:: Why not?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Turns to look at the CM::  CM: Her preferred weapon of choice is a Vulcan longbow... but is also skilled in small bladed weaponry - all non-energy weapons.

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CM: she uses a longbow, a Khaiya I believe it’s called

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> IO: ::Looks less piteous and more conniving::  Well, what are you offering him?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Turns back to the CO::  CO: I do think we can make due, though.  I have several theories...

Host Smug says:
@SCI: ::Chuckles:: Because he is a fat businessman now.  He has others to travel and take the risks.

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO/AS: Wonderful. ::Sarcastically. She brings up the schematics on these weapons looking over what types of injuries they can give::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Kutch: A chance to do himself...a favor. He is wise not to refuse us. What history do you have with an idiot like Mullio?

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Smug: Like you, perhaps?

AS_Lt_Powers says:
CO: Well, Commander... it's like trying to find a cloaked ship.  You don't look for the ship itself, you look for energy outputs, disturbances, and the like.  A body puts out a large amount of thermal energy, I think we can use that to our advantage here as well.

CP_Jarek says:
::Overhears the conversation between the CM and CO and thinks how he also prefers bladed weapons::

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Yes, like me.

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: Nods :: AS: interesting, useful

AS_Lt_Powers says:
CO: Thank you.

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> IO: I told you, I was a dupe.  He hired me for his crew...said he was an honest merchant trader.  Then, I found out he was a smuggler.  I tried to get away, but you know the syndicate...once you're in, you can't get out.

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::curiosity evident:: Smug: Were you doing his work when you encountered the Delphyne?

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Kutch: How well I know. So, what was he smuggling that landed you both in so much trouble?

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Listen, we had a deal.  I held up my end.  If you want more, you have to give more.

CP_Jarek says:
:;Goes over the tactical maneuverability of this ship::

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> IO: A Romulan!  ::Said with much disdain::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Smug: I was just curious... it was an honest question... that's all. :;shrugs it off like it doesn't matter:: I was thinking though, if Jullio got himself in trouble... you'd be able to run the bar and make all that money yourself... you know...

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: by the way, we got a prism tricorder, and something else you might like

Host Smug says:
@SCI: ::Smiles hugely::  That is a possibility.

AS_Lt_Powers says:
::Curious::  CO: Sir?

CM_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Ears perk a bit as she hears that they have a Prism Tricorder. She continues to look through ship systems as she listens::

CP_Jarek says:
Self aloud: This ship has the maneuverability of a bathing tub::

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Kutch: Ah. I know a few Romulans. Good business minds, very treacherous indeed. I might even know the one you're talking about. You remember the name?

Host CO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
AS: a Tr116? Whatever that is ::grins and turns as if to leave ::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@Smug: That is if Starfleet doesn't confiscate it... ::sighs:: Do you think you could tell me about his association with a Vulcan woman named S'Ara?

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> IO: Looks at him for a second::  No, we never met.

Host Smug says:
@SCI: Starfleet has no jurisdiction in the Rigel system.  And I do not know that name.

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::finishes pre-launch checks and begins checking the neural network (ship computers) for any obvious problems::

CP_Jarek says:
::decides to program in some minor evasives anyway::

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@ :;actually smiles:; Smug: True enough... Starfleet does not have jurisdiction there... you are shrewd.... Well I should be going... and I thank you for your time.

Host Smug says:
@SCI: I look forward to my release...perhaps, as you are not with Starfleet anymore, you would care to crew the Kamerain with me?  I need a first mate.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@Kutch: Too bad. Tell me, if I were able to get you out of here, what could you do for me and my friends?

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::eyes a bit mirthful:: Smug: Perhaps...

Host Smug says:
@<Harba_Kutch> ::Cuddles up to him again and whispers in his ear::  IO: Anything.

IO_LtJG_Kizlev says:
@::gently strokes a hand across her chin:: Kutch: So lovely. So what makes you so sure I could arrange your release? Why should I risk it?

LO_Lt_Bodine says:
::test results come back:: Aloud: Well maneuverability is only one issue. The computer network relays on this ship can barley play "Pong" It's a very old game from earth... Long story. So I doubt targeting is much better either.

SCI_Lt_Rhykmal says:
@::returns to the group:: IO/DCO: We have what we came for.

Host Smug says:
