Category:Manta Logs
[5:47][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: MANTA theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5ALPzS0QfQ tonight. *
[5:48][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** It begins with the Manta already in transit, the stars turned to streaks across the screen as the Sabre class starship sails at warp speed through Alliance space. A transition to the interior..
[5:48][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:shows the crew back at their stations, though some of them are now occupied by new crew members. It fades over to Commander Blaine in his ready room, having just finished setting up a holographic..
[5:49][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:punching bag in the corner. Naturally, it is blue. He checks the time, then deactivates it before he sits down to give his log. *
[5:49][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Captain’s log, stardate 99953.48. Part of me’s still a little shocked I’m already back to making these, but this galaxy’s a bizarre place that can be both parts miracle and misery. We sure as..
[5:50][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:hell encountered plenty of both after the Imperium grabbed us. Still, the crew handled it like they always do, and honestly I couldn’t be prouder of them. Wish I could have given them some more..
[5:50][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:time to recover, but maybe getting right back to work will be better. Some of them are clearly hungry to make the Imperium pay for what they’ve done; hell I’m right with them with fork and knife..
[5:51][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:in hand. The best way we can do that is to get back to sabotaging their efforts to spread any more suffering through this war. To that end, we’ve been resupplied, taken on a few new crew members..
[5:51][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:and now we’re on our way to our next mission. A quick pickup and return to the Citadel to get our feet wet again, apparently… yeah, right. Nothing’s ever quick and easy around here, and if it is..
[5:51][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:then something else is about to go terribly wrong. Y’Tiria is our destination today, the Yanda resort world that people like to refer to as Yisa for its stunning similarity to Risa back home. ..
[5:52][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:Only real difference is that most of the bars are half-submerged and you can take a shot of kelp vodka out of the bartender’s blowhole. We’re not there for vacation though, as deserved as it might..
[5:52][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:be. No, apparently this is the spot where the next king of Beryxia has been hiding out since before the invasion began. While the rest of the royal family was being assassinated or brainwashed, ..
[5:53][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:our Prince Zaven Dyrellia was here and having one hell of a good time by all accounts. He has a reputation even by Beryxian standards for quote, ‘excessive debauchery,’ and it looks like that just..
[5:53][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:so happened to be what saved his life. Files recovered from an Imperium Stalker that the Pilgrim captured revealed that there was an Imperium agent sent to deal with him, which is why the Alliance..
[5:54][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:sent in a covert team to neutralise them and secure Prince Zaven. Well, they’ve reported their success to command, but now there’s the issue of getting Zaven and the team off of the planet without..
[5:54][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:letting word get out. That’s where we come in. They should already be in position when we arrive; our job will be to extract them before any other Imperium spies figure it out or, failing that, ..
[5:55][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:just get them out of there. Whatever happens, I’m just glad for the chance to ruin some Tanausan’s day. End log.
[5:56][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -settles back into her seat and reviews a PADD- Steady as we go helm...Ezri how are we lookingout there traffic wise
[5:56][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-continues to go over and review her ACCI updates for the watch
[5:56][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Taps away at the Console monitoring the travel.* "Stars its nice to be ya know not running for our lives or being shot at while flying at a nice warp seven.
[5:57][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] Yes, yes it is
[5:58][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-deadpans= give it a few moments..
[5:58][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"You just had to go there.
[5:58][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He leaned back in his chair, reviewing mission details on his PADD.
[5:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"So far everything looks clear. Not much civilian or merchant traffic either. They all seem to be avoiding this area.
[5:58][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"ETA is roughly half and hour.
[5:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Stelas] =the howar male settled into his seat and did yet anther check of the ships security reports

[6:00][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] =chuckles - What i was implying Ezr
[6:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh okay.
[6:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Its also not near much of strategic value.
[6:03][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"How do you even say that... Emor-in? Emor-een?" *He put the PADD down and headed out to the bridge.
[6:03][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stepped onto the bridge.* "How are we doing?
[6:03][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Weaps? interesting, short and fitting

[6:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] Taht it is si
[6:06][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"You can say that again.
[6:06][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:briefly looks over at Zhal at the mention of drink
[6:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -smirks awakrdly and waits..
[6:07][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:In the science lab, Dacia busies herself with bringing the section in line with proper safety protocals. At the moment, installing an independant field generator to cover an empty alcove
[6:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks back over her shoulder at the exchange
[6:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He raised his brows at Baker.* "Uh. Dismissed?
[6:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -nods- Thank you sir..say the magic words -she turns and heads to her console
[6:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods and looks back to her own console
[6:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -pulls up her ops board and begins to work
[6:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He blew out a breath and went to sit down.* "Well, enjoy it while it lasts, everyone. Next mission probably won't be a fetch quest.
[6:09][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Escort quest then
[6:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well that is technically our role.
[6:10][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Ruby] -obsrves this new person as she works fromits containmnet unit
[6:10][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:See? the doctor understands my sense of humor
[6:11][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced at T'Lena and then back at his PADD.* "At least someone does, V'Tira.
[6:11][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"It was a joke?
[6:11][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I'm just glad medical is back restocked and rebuilt. They took my favorite mass spectrum analyzer... If i hadn't already glassed him i'd want to kill the warden
[6:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Sarah- No. it was not
[6:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -smirks amused as she works
[6:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They took my goddamn water lilies... I have no idea why. Maybe they thought they had some medical properties they could unlock?
[6:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Or an aphrodesiac.
[6:12][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:makes some confused borg noise
[6:12][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks at V'Tira expectantly.
[6:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Selas] -ponders this a moment as he conferes with Jaeger on his console-
[6:12][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"are Water Lillies not just pretty water flowers?
[6:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I hope it's toxic to Tannies, then.
[6:13][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Actually i think it might casue impotence."
[6:13][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia is always in a state of motion, never pausing, never taking a moment to rest or to think. She simply works methodically. And when the unit is installed, she rises up and spins to face Ruby wit
[6:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good.
[6:13][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:a dead-eyed stare
[6:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:..language Captain
[6:14][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Taps a series of commands into the console. Then chuckles.* "You nearly missed that one. Lt." *He smirked to himself.* "ETA Ten Minutes.

[6:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I was ..distracte
[6:16][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:-the small gel like being inside its clea rcontainment box..retracts some into itself
[6:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He ignored V'Tira.* "We should be in Yanda space now, then.
[6:16][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Computer, initiate emergency containment section J." A force field activates around the empty alcove she had been working on. And then vanishes, when she adds, "Computer deactivate emergency conta
[6:17][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:contaiment, section J.
[6:17][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:-the computer complies each time
[6:17][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Watches the console and starts his deceleration preperations.* "Aye sir, we are prepping for deceleration.
[6:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri checks the ship's position data against the star charts.-
[6:18][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good... too bad we can't stay here for long, but at least we can look out the window.
[6:18][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:The android walks over and picks up a tricorder along the way. Dacia will take a moment to scan the jelly creature
[6:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looks around the bridge for a window to look out and finds none.-
[6:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"V'Tira, I'm sending you the signal frequency they'll be using to contact us. Zhal, remember we're moving in under cloak. We're in allied space, but we still don't need anyone knowing we're here.
[6:20][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Understood sir. I will fly like we have a Gormagander on our back.
[6:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once- Aye si

[6:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Codes loaded and ready for their contact captain
[6:22][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Taps a few commands into the console.* "Entering the system, bringing ships engine output to minimal levels and taking us in to the designated coordinates.

[6:23][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:The tricorder lowers, Dacia turns and heads to the replicator, "Computer, tea spoon. Silver." When the implement materializes she'll take the spoon and feed it into the containment box vi
[6:23][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** The Manta drops from warp and eases into the Y'Tiria system, heading straight toward the Yanda world. They could see a scattering of ships parked in a nearby orbital space dock, not nearly as..
[6:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Hello Yisa.

[6:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Selas] A lovely sight..such a unique ecosyste
[6:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Think they'll spring for us to have another crew leave here if we still can't get the gate fixed by summer?" *he mused as they moved in.
[6:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Selas] Oht he Yanda are most accomodating as apeople..Iam sure they will not mind
[6:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-the young howar officer nodnods
[6:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm sure the Yanda won't... I was referring to command.

[6:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"just watch out for the seaq monkeys..
[6:26][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"They will likely allow such for sake of morale
[6:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "At ease, Selas was it?
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Depends on the movements of our enemy.
[6:26][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:the secure hatch. Not oblivious to the threat Ruby poses, she'll prepare the creatures holding area for additional security
[6:27][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's a fair point. Beryxia isn't all that terribly far away.
[6:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Selas] Yes sir.Ranger fourth cl..um..Lieutenant jg sir! Security department ..watch cmmander of th watch..-cringes
[6:27][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't worry, I'll figure it out myself," *he smirked at Selas and checked his PADD.
[6:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ensign Wynn" *she added
[6:28][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** Cloaked, the Manta glided into orbit and settled there. *
[6:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I didn't forget you Ensign.
[6:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:(( void )
[6:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I didn't forget the ensign.
[6:29][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Yes, doctor" she looks at Selas "Nervous sir?
[6:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Alright, V'Tira, let them know we're here to pick them up from the beach.

[6:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a single brow and tries again
[6:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well the only thing i miss about being a liason officer was the leather uniform.
[6:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Bakjer] all right people allied space or not..stay focused now

[6:33][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Curious -after her thrid attempt= Captain
[6:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"What is it?

[6:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"looking for life signs in the target area.
[6:34][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He raised his brows.* "They were supposed to be in position and waiting for us. Are you sure you used the correct frequency?

[6:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--scan the designated pikc up area for life signs.-
[6:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"That's odd.

[6:35][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Bottle of Tequila says this is about to go sideways.

[6:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I am still receving zero response from our expected detai
[6:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"There are no ferengi oddsmakers that would stake that Zhal.
[6:36][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Even if I included two bars of latinum?
[6:37][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Tequila is very versatile
[6:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Well hundreds of life signs in the area, mostly Yanda with some other Allied species and Federation species in th emix. I am trying to islate any Beryxian signatures now.
[6:39][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"aye Ma'am, I am monitering pasively
[6:40][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Not to look a gift Yanda in the mouth, any exotic brothels down there? Could be in one of those.
[6:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine's brow was creasing again.* "Simple pickup my ass..." *he muttered.
[6:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not able to isolate any Beryxian life signs using ;passive sensiors only there are just to many life signs to sort through.
[6:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:We probably need to decloak.
[6:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"At this point marcus someone must have known we were coming.
[6:41][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We do." *He rubbed his brow for a moment.* "Okay. Plan's officially changed. We need to figure out what happened to that team.
[6:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're now officially here for a quick vacation after all the shit we've gone through. That'll get us on the surface and explain us being here. Once there, we find the team's location as..
[6:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:covertly as possible and extract them without anyone being any the wiser.
[6:43][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Not sure they are going to like us decloaking on the front lawn.
[6:44][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's why we're going to head back out, decloak and approach casually, Lieutenant.
[6:45][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Starts tapping in the course to his console.* "Well here we go.
[6:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Damn i guess its a good thing rihannsu are always ready for bikini season.
[6:45][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"You know what they say about the Trill, the spots go alllllll the way down.
[6:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked slightly before he caught himself.* "That it is. But don't let your guard down, people. If the team's missing, then there might be another agent thay failed to neutralise.
[6:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Maybe they just broke their communicator.
[6:47][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Someone is feeling optomistic." *Guides the Manta out of the established orbit are starts his new approach as ordered.
[6:48][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** The cloaked Manta pulled away from the planet and soon made it back to the oort cloud. *
[6:49][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Grimaced seeing the cloud on his navigational sensors.
[6:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Alright. Once we decloak, Baker, send a hail to Y'Tiria and make our intentions known. Insist that we go to the resort our team was supposed to be at, but don't be too obvious.
[6:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The fewer people that are made aware of what's going on, the better.
[6:52][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] Yes sir -smiles- Ill be casually insistan

[6:54][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Bringing us back on planetary approach, and deactivating the cloak." *Continues to tap his commands into the flight control console.* "I hate that cloud...
[6:54][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Good news is this gives us a large excuse to send down a shift.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Which gets more boots on the ground for search.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Jaegar have Hazard all gett their swim trunks.
[6:55][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:The final unit installed, Dacia rises to her feet. "Computer, initiate emergency containment section G." A force field activates around the area where Ruby is contained
[6:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -once the cloak drops contacts the planet
[6:55][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Ruby] -another friendly wave at Dacia
[6:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That it does," *he nodded to T'lena.
[6:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Which means after we get this ship in orbit and the sensor sweeps dealt with, you're all going down.
[6:56][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Jaeger] -chuckles- Im trying to picture Lyssia in swimtrunks mysel
[6:57][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Computer, deactivate emergency containment, section G." The forcefield disapears, and Dacia slowly waves a hand back at Ruby. "Do you require additional nutrients?
[6:57][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -to marcus- Traffic controlhas me in contact witht he resort now sir..clearly they are happy to accomodate us..in the off seaso
[6:57][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** The Manta sails back toward the planet. *
[6:58][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I suggest we not tell gamma shift. they aren't on leave.
[6:58][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Will keep up appearances
[6:58][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I'll notify everyone
[6:58][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:-the little critters coos sweetly to indicate yes it wouldlove more nom noms
[6:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "Poor them. Alright, Baker, thank them for us and tell them we'll be maintaining an orbit rather than using the docking bay. Tell him it's a personal preference. I'm an asshole..
[6:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:who just has to have it my way.
[6:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sighs- Languag
[6:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's Baker saying it, not me," *he protested.
[6:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] =grins- Ill transmit thesentinements sir -nods
[6:59][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:=^= All hands this is the doctor. If you look out your window you will see Yisa, or the Yandan Recreation Colony on Y'tira, As yoru cheif medical officer I am prescribing this crew 2 Days liberty.
[6:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:She knows better si
[6:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The Yanda don't know that.
[7:00][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Starts laughing.
[7:00][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-muted cheers can already be heard beyond the bridge-
[7:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:unfortunately for BEta shift they drew the short straw and have first watch. Gamma and Alpha will proceed to the planet. Gamma has last watch. Congrats. Alpha be responsible and understand your days.
[7:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--starts her life sign scan, looking for Beryxians and Tannies specifically.-
[7:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:=^= Your friendly doctor out.
[7:00][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] Orbital parking has been cleared by traffic contro
[7:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"And now we have a reason for why alpha isn't drinking to excess.
[7:01][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-muted beta booing
[7:01][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia goes to the replicator once again, "Computer, Iron bar. Thirty centimetters long. Six centimeters diameter." When it materializes she'll feed the bar into Ruby's chamber
[7:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Fantastic. Tell them we're getting waxed and will be down soon.
[7:01][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Baker] -smirks to him at this- Again..Ill paraphras
[7:02][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:swallows with confused borg noise
[7:02][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:-thelittle critter oozesover thebar and happily nomnoms once again
[7:02][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Swivles in his chair and looks at Marcus tilting his brow.* "You, getting waxed?
[7:02][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Zhal- He merely misses his bear

[7:03][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Shakes his head.* "I just feel bad for the person doing the waxing.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Though he wouldnm't be the first skipper to have regular visits if he wished, and only the fourth best looking." *she teased him.
[7:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am detecting 50 Beryxians. Can't really identify any of them. But, I am tracking their movements. Good news is no Tanasauan life signs. But, they could be masked so we can't assume they are no

[7:06][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Right. Well, I guess Y'Tiria is a good place for them to be bunkering down with Beryxia fucked as it currently is." *He stood up.* "We're going to have to work this from the ground. So, finish..

[7:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Fantastic, Baker. And I take it they're still insisting on no weapons

[7:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-eyes T;ena and deadpans- really double oh seve
[7:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Pity. Guess we'll just have to punch them really really hard or hope they brought something concealed.
[7:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Locks the Flight Control Console down until Beta Shift takes over.* "If she get the laser watch, do I get the stylus that turns into staff?
[7:09][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I am going to leave that one alone.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she headed off the bridge to go change and pack a bag
[7:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah... alright then. Let's go to the beach.
[7:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Baker, you have the bridge." *He headed out.
[7:10][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I am trying to understand the plan? we are pretending to be on vacation?

[7:12][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"It appears it is unwise to feed you often." She says to the goo. "I will see you again when I return, goodbye for now." Dacia exits the lab taking her tricorder with her
[7:13][DOIC1]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Not sure what that means for me" logs out the console getting to her fee
[7:23][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** After a brief commercial break, our heroes beam down to the seaside resort to be greeted by a female Yanda with a happy chirp. *
[7:24][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yanda] "Welcome, friends! We're so delighted that you've chosen to join us here today! I am Yvoni, and I will be your hostess during your stay.

[7:25][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--awkwardly puts the tricorder away-- "oh yeah we are vacation...
[7:25][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He cleared his throat.* "Pardon her. She has allergies... needs to be alert for... allergens.

[7:26][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] "Oh... well... alright, then! As I was saying, if you need anything, simply activate one of these." *She handed them a lovely communicator in the style of a conch shell.

[7:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ah yes i remember the shell phones."
[7:27][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh hey thanks." --she says taking the communicator.-
[7:27][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He took his, nodding.* "We'll try not to tie up the line.
[7:28][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia, who had been staring listlessly off into the distance accepts the communicator and scans it with her tricorder
[7:28][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Are these water proof?
[7:28][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] "I don't mind! If I'm unavailable, it will go right to the next hostess." *She then chirped and nodded at Sarah.* "Of course!
[7:29][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes his shell phone and clips it to the waist band of his suit.
[7:29][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] "Your bags have already been sent to your rooms, would you like me to guide you there or shall I leave you to explore our lovely resort?
[7:30][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think we can handle it from here, Yvoni. Thank you. Unless anyone else has questions for our hostess?
[7:33][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I have no questions." She replies in a dull monotone
[7:33][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I don't have questions either
[7:33][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I got nothing.
[7:34][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] "Great! Well, welcome once more to Y'Tiria, we hope you have a pleasant stay!" *She bowed her head gracefully and departed.
[7:35][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"she seemed nice
[7:35][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Once she was out of earshot, Blaine nodded to the others.* "Yanda tend to be friendly. Anyway, I think I know the room number, so let's go see what the hold up is.
[7:37][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Lets.

[7:37][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Lead on.
[7:37][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Dear.
[7:38][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced at T'Lena with that.* "...Right." *He would lead her up the stairs.
[7:38][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckled.* "He is never not going to be awkward.
[7:38][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"dear? are they a couple?
[7:39][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:follows after CO like a good borg pupp

[7:41][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*plays at looking at the suroundings.
[7:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine lead them upstairs and through the halls leading to different guest suites. After a while Blaine brings them to a halt, checking the Yanda number on the door.* "This should be it.
[7:41][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Leans agains the wall casually and winks at a passerby.
[7:41][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"this place is big,
[7:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He knocked on the door. Silence followed.
[7:42][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He paused, then simply tried to open it to no avail.* "Yeah, it wasn't going to be that easy...
[7:42][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia uses her tricorder once more, this time to check for lifesigns inside the room
[7:43][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:stares at the doo
[7:43][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"WHy don't we try the one next to it.
[7:43][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"One life sign, human. I believe he may be in a state of medical emergency.
[7:43][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Human?
[7:44][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You thi---" *He looked at Dacia.* "Shit. Someone get this door open, now.
[7:44][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stepped back.
[7:44][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"The reading is very weak, but yes. It is a human.
[7:44][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Brute force sir?
[7:44][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"What the hell...
[7:45][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena kicks the door open
[7:45][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"well that was cool...
[7:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The door was bust open by the Romulan kick. Inside, they could see blood spattered all over the floor, walls and furniture. Three bodies were laying there, one an Acriman woman, one a Howar man,..
[7:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:and a human woman.
[7:47][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she moved to the human quickly
[7:47][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Fucking hell." *He moved inside and checked the Howar.* "Dead.
[7:47][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*performed initial diagnostic
[7:47][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Fuck..." *Moved in behind T'lena and looked a the Acriman woman checking for what killed her.
[7:47][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:stays outside the room guarding the doo
[7:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:=^= Baker beam this woman to sickbay with me
[7:48][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia steps inside the room, careful to avoid stepping in the blood. She scans again, and looks for foot prints that do not match the victims
[7:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she held onto the woman
[7:49][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Baker] =/\= "Right away, doctor!
[7:49][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"For fuck sake, who did this? Stab wounds several, but the one to the neck did end it.
[7:49][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*T'Lena and the woman were beamed away.
[7:51][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--scans for the closest security sensors, ideally cameras.-
[7:52][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Not meaning to be insenstive Cap, but we should probably get out of here, beam the bodies back search the room and leave.
[7:53][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded to Zhal then.* "Agreed." =/\= "Baker, I'm going to tag two bodies for you. Have them brought aboard so the doc can figure out what happened to them when she's done with the other one.
[7:53][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri heads out into the halways and using her excellent hacking skills attempts to access the camera feed looking for clues as to what happened.-
[7:53][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I recomend we be careful not to contaminate the crime scene as best as we are able. I am unable to determine if any of the footprints in the blood belong to the killer or killers. But it appear
[7:54][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:whoever did this did not track blood into the hallway.
[7:54][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"It's possible they simply beamed out.
[7:54][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Maybe. Could also have jumped out the window.
[7:55][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Anyone got a Tricorder sweep the room for anything, I'll head outside see if I can find anything down below.
[7:55][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Turning her head towards the window, she approaches to see where it leads exactly
[7:55][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The bodies dematerialised, leaving the living in the blood-soaked room.
[7:56][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:goes to look outside windows for evidence of someone jumping out and leaving that wa
[7:56][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Carefully exits the room and starts down the stairs to the ground level beneath the room.
[7:56][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Outside of the window, there was a balcony facing the sea.
[7:57][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri enters the room again-- "I have the last twelve hours of security footage from the hallway cameras, if anyone entered or left through the doo they should be on that footage.
[7:58][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Another scan, this time checking for traces of blood on the balcony
[7:58][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it will take some time to look at it all since i dont have a time index for the murder.
[7:58][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Finds his way beneath the room window on the ground level and searches the area for signs of someone making a hasty break for it.
[7:58][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Sarah would see nothing on the windows themselves. As Dacia stepped out onto the balcony to scan it...* (Roll Dacia
[7:59][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Zhal would find that directly below the window was water... though it was clearly deep enough that jumping from the balcony would likely not be fatal.
[8:01][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's a start anyway, Tegan. We can send it to the Manta if need be for analysis.
[8:01][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir, they will be able to process it faster on the ship.
[8:02][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks around where the water meets the building and then taps his star fleet commbadge on his waist band.* =^= "Zhal to Blaine.
[8:02][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--proceeed to send the footage to the ship for processing.-
[8:02][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Captain, I have detected five sets of dna. Three belong to the victims, two are unidentified. I believe that with time I can do a full analysis of the other two.
[8:02][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine eyed an Acriman couple with their young child who were passing by in the hall.* "Paintball got out of hand.
[8:03][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He then turned to Dacia.* "Good work." =/\= "What is it, Lieutenant?
[8:04][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"If whoever did that jumped it would have been an easy get away for someone who could swim, but I am not seeing anything down here that would indicate they came this way." *He continued to look aroun
[8:04][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:for any sign of something.
[8:04][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Fortunately, Dacia typically spent her vacations doing scientific analysis for fun and was prepared to take samples, which she does

[8:07][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:=^= "I'll head that way and ask around.
[8:07][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Our subject was Beryxian right?
[8:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"A Beryxian prince," *he nodded, heading over to check the jar.* "Dacia, give it a scan.
[8:08][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Once done collecting the dna, Dacia moves to scan the object as ordered
[8:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Good idea. Don't get lost.

[8:10][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Captain, I am unable to determine the origin of the jar. However, I do detect traces of Beryxian dna, I am also detecting traces of a highly addictive amphetamine.
[8:11][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri goes to the balcony and checks how close neighboring balconies are to this one.-
[8:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That would match our subject description, then. Mark that DNA as potentially belonging to Zaven Dyrellia.
[8:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The balconies were about five feet apart from one another.
[8:12][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Started twards the resort shoreline, scanning people with his eyes looking for anything out of the ordinary. Once he reached the beach he looked for the room window and walked towards it on the beac
[8:12][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Aye, Captain. I will also upload my scans to the ship. Perhaps they will be able to find a match.
[8:12][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Do we possibly have the Subject's DNA on file?
[8:12][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri breaks out her tricorder and tries scanning into the two adjaccent rooms-
[8:12][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No, but we have his cousin Ryle's. We should be able to get a comparison going.
[8:13][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"If I am a crazy ax murder... and on the run... how do I avoid being seen?" *He considers as he watches the shoreline.
[8:13][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:(Roll, Zhal
[8:14][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia sends her tricorders results to the ship. Then programs the tricorder to do a broad area search for more of that same Beryxian dna
[8:14][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sir there is a Beryxian in the room adjacent to this one. We may want to check it out.
[8:15][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Looking around, there really did not seem to be that many places one could feasibly swim to without being immensely strong. A ways down the beach, he can see an outcropping of rocks that obscures..
[8:15][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:the rest of the shoreline.
[8:16][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Alright. I can do that." *He made sure he didn't have any blood on him before stepping out into the hallway.
[8:16][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Moves towards the outcropping of rocks quickly but not to quickly to draw attention to himself in case someone was watching.* "We are on vacation, we are on vacation.. please don't let the ax murde
[8:16][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:pop out, while on vacation...
[8:17][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I shall follow you sir
[8:17][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:follows after Marcu
[8:19][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Sir, I advise caution. The Beryxian who was in this room suffered minor injuries. It is entirely possible that the Beryxian was the killer." She says, also following after
[8:19][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*It takes some time, but Zhal arrives at the rocks. As he moves around them, he can see a smear of drying crimson on one of the larger ones, about shoulder-height.
[8:20][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"But you found two Beryxian DNA samples, didn't you?
[8:21][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Of course...." *He looks around the rocks trying to see if there was another body or evidence of something more in the area. He tapped his waist where is comm badge was again.* =^= "Zhal, to Blaine.
[8:21][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I am going with him
[8:21][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:I have blood on the shore line at a rock outcropping.
[8:21][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I found two unidentified sets of dna that I have not yet had a chance to analyze. I have also found the amphetamine. It is uncertain how such a substance will affect that species.
[8:22][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*His eye twitched and he went to hang back in the room.* =/\= "Good work. Hang tight and wait for us.
[8:22][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:=^= "Understood.
[8:22][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They're Beryxians, they do drugs like it's an art form. I think it might be, for them.
[8:23][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And if what I heard about this guy is true, he goes overboard even by their standards. So maybe he freaked out when they were going to bring him in?
[8:23][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it might be shiney red..." --she says looking at DAcia-
[8:23][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"That is fair. I have not yet drawn a conclusion. I am simply advising that you approach the situation with caution.
[8:24][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Nah, when I run into a room full of two dead people, one dying person and too much blood for it to all be theirs, I tend to throw caution to the wind.
[8:24][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He then headed out and knocked on the next door.
[8:25][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--look at Dacia-- "i think he is being sarcastic.
[8:25][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:makes sure to stand bysides Marcu
[8:25][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Understood, Captain. As the commanding officer I shall follow your lead.
[8:25][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The door opened and a Beryxian man was standing there.* "May I help you?
[8:25][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:((As YOU are the commanding officer.)
[8:25][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*There was a rustle in the jungle.
[8:26][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Turned towards the sound of the rustle. Watching it carefully.* "And here comes the ax murder.
[8:27][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm hoping so. Have you heard anything strange coming from the other room recently? We were going to make a noise complaint to the front desk.
[8:28][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia keeps out of line of sight from the Beryxian at the door and attempts to see if his dna matches that found in the room
[8:28][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced briefly at Dacia, hoping she took the hint.
[8:28][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He was relieved that she did.
[8:29][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Uh... some banging and shouting, but I thought they were just having a party over there.
[8:29][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:raises a brow at the Beryxian man, looking him ove
[8:30][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked like a fairly average Beryxian man, with a medium build and long, flowing black hair.
[8:31][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The rustling grew closer... he could hear heavy breathing.

[8:32][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Unable to to get a clear match, she scans for more of the amphetamine inside the Beryxian's apartment
[8:33][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Sarah could spot a canvas set up just in front of the open balcony doors, upon which he appeared to have been painting the horizon. She can see there are two figures swimming into the distance.
[8:34][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Right, you know when that happened? We were drinking a bit, trying to narrow down a timeline.
[8:34][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Well... hm. I think it must have been two hours ago, if I'm not mistaken.
[8:35][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"THat is a pretty painting, when did you pain it?
[8:36][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*A big, scaled snout pushed its way out of the jungle, and Zhal could see what appeared to be a reptilian porcine creature with four sets of little bitty tusks just poking out from its lips.
[8:36][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Oh, I've been working on it all afternoon. Thank you." *he smiled at Sarah.
[8:37][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I especially like the detail of the two figures swimming away
[8:37][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:gives Marcus a loo
[8:37][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine peered over his shoulder.* "Yeah... it's interesting.
[8:38][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Were they perhaps Beryxian like you?
[8:38][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Oh, well it was inspired from something I saw just out the window. Two people, one helping the other to swim.
[8:38][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Sighs and deactivates his commbadge.* "Not a ax murder just a big pig.
[8:39][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "From that distance I couldn't tell.
[8:39][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"By the way they were swimming, could one of them have been hurt?
[8:40][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "I suppose so, but it would be rather strange of them to be so far out in the water in that case.
[8:40][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Thank you" she politely nods her head
[8:41][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia withdraws out of earshot and uses the conch phone to call the front desk
[8:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah, sorry to bother you. Thanks for the help." *He nodded to the man.
[8:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Of course." *he closed the door.
[8:41][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Examines the lizard pig thing looking for evidence of flesh eating or pulling other creepy gross nonsense.
[8:42][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:moves away from the door and awaits Marcu
[8:43][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Pigzard] *He squealed at Zhal, then turned and went running down what appeared to be a well-beaten animal trail.
[8:43][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine headed back to the other room.* "Alright. So, I'm thinking... they killed the team, grabbed the Prince and jumped out the window.
[8:44][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I was thinking the same, sir
[8:44][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes a few steps towards the animal path examining it for evidence of a kurfufel.
[8:45][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Should the front desk answer, =^= "Hello. I'm Dacia. I am on vacation. Please tell me, are there any small islands within swiming distance from my current location?
[8:45][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Some of the dirt looked sticky... it could be blood.
[8:45][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Which I believe would mean Zhal is on the right track
[8:46][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Reaches down to touch the skicky dirt and looking at his fingers.
[8:46][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"it also seems we are about two hours behind
[8:47][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] =/\= "Hello! The closest substantial islands cannot be reached by non-Yanda swimmers and it is recommended you take boats there!
[8:47][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Oh yeah... that's blood. Gross.
[8:47][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Thank you. That is all I need to know.
[8:48][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Which means there's a lot of places they could've gone to by now.
[8:48][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:=^= "Thank you. That is all I need to know.
[8:48][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Ugh... come on..." *Cleans his hand in the water.* =^= "Zhal to Blaine, pretty sure I found where our runners went.
[8:48][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Yvoni] =/\= "You're welcome! Have a wonderful rest of your stay!
[8:48][DOIC3]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Yes sir
[8:49][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Where at, Zhal?
[8:49][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--scans for Zhals comm signal and locks onto his position-
[8:49][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:=^= "That rocky outcropping on the shoreline, there is a lovely animal path with bloody dirt.
[8:50][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i have his position by the rocks, we could beam there.
[8:50][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "We'll be there in a moment." *He nodded to Ezri, then taped his badge again.
[8:50][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Blaine to Manta, beam us directly to Zhal's position.
[8:51][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:When she hangs up, she'll approach the others
[8:51][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*They were zapped away!
[8:51][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--sends the location data to the ship-
[8:53][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The gang rematerialised near Zhal.
[8:53][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Welcome to the bloody cove, you lovely people. Where we have blood stained rocks, Pig-Lizards, and a bloody animal path.
[8:54][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"pig lizards? where?
[8:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Baker] =/\= "Manta to Blaine. The analysis of those blood samples has gone through... I'll send the results to your PADD.
[8:54][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Points down the path.* "It went that way.
[8:54][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well at least there's dinner for later." *He checked his PADD, squinting.
[8:54][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Fuck.
[8:55][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"sir?
[8:55][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Such sweet things you say Cap.
[8:56][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He lowered the PADD, then drew in a breath.* "Alright. Things just got worse. We're dealing with an Imperium agent who looks Beryxian. Heavily modded. Highly dangerous, too, if she could take..
[8:56][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:out two special ops agents and nearly kill a third.
[8:57][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"finally a worthy adversary...
[8:57][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"She likely had the element of surprise with them sir
[8:58][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Tilts his head at Ezri and has a very confused look on his face.
[8:58][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He squinted at Ezri.* "Right. In any case, we need to stick together from now on. No one wanders off on their own here. Understood?
[8:58][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes, sir.
[8:58][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"understood sir.
[8:58][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"Understood
[8:59][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes, sir.
[8:59][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now, let's see where this trail leads." *He walked up to the jungle, ducking down into the brush.
[8:59][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:follows right after Marcu
[9:00][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:While they walk, Dacia scans ahead for signs for Imperium agents
[9:00][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--as she follows she opens her tricorder and scans ahead-
[9:00][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Welcome to bullshit island.
[9:00][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm king of Bullshit Continent, Bullshit Island doesn't have anything on me.
[9:00][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:(Roll scanners
[9:01][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:looks around as they walk, looking for dangers and suc
[9:02][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Dacia and Ezri would detect some interesting plant and animal life, but nothing in terms of their actual quarry. As they moved, they would occasionally see drips of drying blood in the dirt, but..
[9:02][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:they were getting fainter and less frequent as they moved.
[9:03][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Yeah... this... is getting interesting.
[9:04][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Know what's interesting? We're circling back around toward the resort, if my directions aren't fucked.
[9:04][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Nothing within range so far, sir.
[9:06][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"You were right sir
[9:06][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*At least twenty more minutes pass as they traverse the path before it spits them back out not far from the resort bar. Blaine frowned.
[9:06][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah... which sucks because that means our target is probably hiding in plain sight now.
[9:07][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"One big circle, to throw us off the scent." *He narrows his eyes.* "But we have one particular advantage. That blood back there means she could be hurt, so scan for injuries, both visually and wit
[9:07][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:the tricorders.
[9:07][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"That is likely, but at the same time, they have a person with them that is injured possibly dead
[9:07][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Not necessarily sir. The fact that they were carrying the wounded suggests they want him alive. To keep that person alives means getting medical attention.
[9:08][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"I suggest we visit the resort physician.
[9:09][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He rubbed his bearded chin for a moment.* "We're going to have to keep working this one. There's too many potential ways this could have gone, and I want to hear what the wounded agent has to..
[9:09][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:say. In the meantime, I don't think they have a way off the planet. If that was the case they'd have gone there instead of this loop.
[9:10][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:"I agree with your estimation, sir
[9:10][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I can have the doctor make up some bullshit medical reason to keep everyone confined to the planet, but that'll only work for so long.
[9:11][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"So you go back to Manta, we keep working down here. We will find our assassin.
[9:11][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked slightly.* "I'm not going anywhere. We need all the boots on the ground that we can get.
[9:12][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"while we are not supposed to be armed, if we are dealing with a trained assassin we may want to consider arming ourselves.
[9:12][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Rolled his eyes.* "I meant you could talk to the woman in person, and sneak us some phasers, or that disruptor under my flight console.
[9:13][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You don't have a disruptor under your console, Lieutenant, because we don't use Tanausan disruptors.
[9:13][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now come on, we're not done yet." *He headed to the resort.
[9:14][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"You recycled it didn't you?" *He pouts slightly.
[9:14][DOIC4]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir." follows along-
[9:14][DOIC4]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I had them put it in your room. Disruptors are weapons of pain and torture. We're not using them unless we have no other choice.
[9:14][DOIC4]Sarah Wynn@awendr:is still right on Marcus's heel
[9:14][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia too, follows along. Scanning for Imperium life signs along the way
[9:15][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh... that works." *He follows after them and watches the crowds.
[9:15][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** As they headed for the resort, the credits began to roll as the official episode ended for the evening... leaving the conclusion for next week! *
