==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: The Game's Afoot== | |||
===by Scott Lusby=== | |||
SD: 2260.363 | |||
Setting: Small Hotel room, New Detroit, Arcturus | |||
<<snip- from Andy's post, entitled "Suggestions?">> | |||
Gar shook his head. "They won't be able to intercept before the ship makes | |||
orbit. If it is our Romulan he should be down on the planet a full 30 | |||
minutes before the Klingons arrive." | |||
"That's our window then. Alright now all we have to do is figure out how to | |||
make sure we're in the right place at the right time. Any suggestions?" | |||
<<end snip>> | |||
Gar shrugged. "That part seems easy enough- we meet him at the spaceport | |||
and get off planet before the Klingons arrive." | |||
Steele shot him an angry look. "Of COURSE we grab him and leave- but how do | |||
we get to him? Can we be sure, given how many others seem to be motivated | |||
at procuring Doctor Sahen's services, that we WILL be the only ones waiting? | |||
I don't think we should depend on that." | |||
"A wise thought," Avae Zh'sharav nodded. | |||
"We go covert," John DeSimms said. | |||
Gar glanced over at the Security chief. "I am assuming you mean more covert | |||
than we are currently." | |||
Avae shot back at Gar. "With all due respect, you're not exactly covert | |||
right now." | |||
Before Gar could reply, Steele intervened. "John's right- we need a bit | |||
more subtlety here...and I think I have an idea." | |||
The Captain glanced at DeSimms. "Do you think you could scare up some | |||
suitable spaceport worker uniforms- preferably baggage handlers or other | |||
support staff- something that could get us behind closed doors at the | |||
spaceport, as well as any ID's we might need, in the next couple of hours?" | |||
John nodded. "I think I can swing that," he said, turning and walking out | |||
the door of the room without another word. | |||
Steele looked at Gar and Avae. "We'll need to link up with Merrick and his | |||
team once they arrive, and make arrangement for everyone to leave, as it | |||
doesn't look like they'll have time to arrange their own departures." He | |||
met the Am-Tal agent's stare. "We could use your expertise in helping get | |||
off-planet with as little fanfare as possible." | |||
The blue-hued woman looked from Gar, and back to the Captain. "All right, | |||
Captain; I have some contacts I can use that I trust," she said. "I'll meet | |||
back with you in 3 hours." | |||
With that, the graceful-yet-lethal Andorian woman left the room. | |||
"Nice figure," Steele quipped. | |||
"I hadn't noticed," Gar retorted. Then, after a brief silence, he looked at | |||
Steele. "So, what do WE do for the next couple of hours?" | |||
The Captain powered up his own minicamp. "We try to find out exactly who | |||
Doctor Sahen is; knowing who he is and what his importance is might help us | |||
avoid a free-for-all at the spaceport." | |||
<<NRPG>> | |||
A short one to give us something to do. | |||
Daniel- I sent you on a little errand for some suitable gear. How you get | |||
it and what you get is up to you. Just don't break too many laws- or bones- | |||
along the way. ;) | |||
Andy- I hope this was OK. I originally wanted to pair Gar and Avae | |||
off...but I think this works out better. It lets me play Avae a little and | |||
still work with you on finding out who Sahen really is. | |||
ALL- LET'S GET POSTING. | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
