"THE SPY WHO LOVED ME Part 1"

Theme

SFIHQ, Sol System...

Mischa smiled quietly to herself as they passed through the calm hallways of Starfleet Intelligence Headquarters; much as she did not regret her decision to push for postings further out into the frontier and away from her old desk, she could not deny the pleasant feeling she felt at being back. Her smile developed into a slight smirk at the thought the her compatriots from the Gainsborough - Eunha and Captain Lazard - would likely find their present surroundings anything but welcoming. "There" she pointed ahead with a slight nod as a door began to slowly open for them. She glanced to Lazard and smirked once more at seeing his expression as he took in the sight of the door emblazoned with a pure black Starfleet Insignia.

Once inside, they were greeted by a custody officer who briefed them on the reason for Mischa's 'requested expedient return' to HQ. As it transpired; they were holding a Romulan in custody who claimed to be seeking asylum after defecting from the Tal Shiar. Further inquiry revealed that the defector - a man named Dhiov - had refused to co-operate with SFI officers and stated he would only speak candidly with 'Agent Leveson-Scott'. Suffice to say it took them a little time to determine that he in fact meant Mischa, despite their insistence that she - nor any member of SFI worked as an 'agent' - he would not have it. This however did ring true with Mischa as it helped her identify Dhiov as the Tal Shiar operative who had aided her during previous operations and leaked information from the Tal Shiar; a revelation which of course wrought hope in the custody officers.

The Gainsborough officers were permitted to speak with Dhiov per his request and entered the holding room with Lazard leading the way. Mischa opted to remain near the back of the group and avoid direct contact with the Romulan as they entered, instead allowing Lazard to conduct the questioning with her simply being in the room. She had calculated that this would upset his composure and put the Romulan on the back foot, and it did just that as he grew increasingly irate with the blatant insult being played before him. This however did serve to the desired effect and once Mischa entered the conversation, he was ready to talk.

Dhiov attempted largely to profess his motives for the continued support of Starfleet - and in particular Mischa - against the will of his superiors, simply because he had developed feelings for 'the young agent' as he so fondly referred to her. Though she believed this no more than she reciprocated, Mischa acted dutifully in playing to his supposed feelings and he soon revealed the reason for his actual defection. Apparently; a ruthless Tal Shiar Commander was making a power play - a Commander who's personal grudge against Starfleet would no doubt see a significant increase to hostilities - and this of course posed an unacceptable risk to Starfleet, and security of the sector at large.

He went on to inform them that he knew the location of this Commander's base of operations, but was unusually insistent that he would not simply reveal to them it's location; instead insisting that he would accompany them on their inevitable mission to shut him down before he becomes too empowered to be reachable. Though he would not reveal the apparent necessity to have him along, Dhiov did reveal to the group that it was not associated with breaking their security protocols as he insisted they must seek additional aid for that particular hurdle. Dhiov's recommendation was vague at best, though he pointed them towards 'one Orion on the ninth Legia'...

Lendaria: ok so... "Previously on ST:G..."

Lendaria: Gainsborough made it's first return to the Sol System since it's launch at the behest of the Admiralty Board, to return LtCd Leveson-Scott to SFI HQ

Lendaria: whilst there; she, Lazard and Eunha met with a Romulan Tal Shiar defector who had insisted on only speaking with Mischa

Lendaria: During interview, the defector revealed details of a sinister Tal Shiar plot, and expressed a desire to help stop it

Lendaria: However he did not know all the most pressing details....

Lendaria: He provided our intrepid adventurers with the identity of source who would be able to assist; a KDF officer who held vital information that would allow our team to bypass security and infilitrate the

Lendaria: rogue Tal Shiar base where this plot was being run from

Lendaria: so now as we rejoin the action; Mischa has remained at SFIHQ to continue the interroga-... interview of the defector, while the crew head towards the distant and little known world of Legia IX

Lendaria: Home to the Olelian people; by all accounts promising Federation citizins whose membership application is currently underway

Lazard reviews duty rosters on a padd. "Estimated time to arrival?"

Keliaya: "We'll be there in fifteen minutes."

Lazard: "Mmn." He sets the padd across his lap. "Good. What do we know of Legia IX and its inhabitants?"

Keliaya: "The databanks say the Olelians are apparently technology enthusiasts. Almost every member of their species uses some form of cybernetic enhancement."

Keliaya: "It seems their sense of fashion is largely based on the display of these cybernetic parts."

Lazard: "I see...well, it would not be the first time for me to be out of style."

Lendaria: "Captain; records also show that they are a deeply spiritual people"

Lazard taps his cheek.

Lazard: "What do we know of their spirituality?"

Lendaria turns in her seat to face the captain, "Apparently their religion is based on the worship of nine 'Providences'; each representing a different aspect of the culture

Lendaria: "As they evolved into a warp capable species; their belief system has grown and adapted with them"

Lendaria: "Where they once worshipped these Providences as deities; apparently they now view them more as saviors of a kind"

Lazard: "Not all are lucky enough to have it fall away."

Lendaria: "The species first evolved on Legia III, but when the star expanded into a red giant, the planet became uninhabitable"

Lendaria: "That is when the nine Providences were said to have uprooted the Olelian people and transported them to a new, safe world"

Lendaria: "That being Legia IX"

Lendaria: "Where they once viewed this as the act of a deity, they apparently now believe that this was the work of a more highly evolved species and is the root of their desire to explore the stars; to find them”

Lazard: "You are well studied on the subject matter. Tell us more of the cybernetic implants and the style surrounding them."

Caelia tabs away on her console while listening

Lendaria: "Well... as your officer pointed out; the level of technological advancement seen in the Olelians is almost unprecedented, given the short time they have been warp capable"

Lendaria: "Cybernetics and artificial constructs being their forte"

Lendaria: "Younger generations, born into this period of technological advancement have adopted it as a fashion statement"

Lendaria: "Opting to bear visible cybernetic enhancmenets as the height of fashion"

Lazard: "Interesting..."

Lendaria: "They are generally more refined than the Starfleet equivalent, though records show that Olelian technology has already been tested and deemed safe for use by Federation species"

Lazard: "Perhaps I can finally acquire that trendy new cybernetic leg all the trendy kids are on about." He offers a smirk.

Lendaria chuckles at the captain's comment

Keliaya: "I'm looking at a schematic they released for a basic sensory enhancements...it is quite a design."

Keliaya: "Excellent approval ratings across the board as well..."

Lazard: "I suppose one day, all life in the galaxy may merge with the technology of their creation."

Caelia: "Is that not what the Borg is trying to do" she pause "in some way"

Lazard: "In a less than consensual manner, yes."

Lendaria: "I imagine a Borg would be the equivalent of a catwalk model there!"

Lazard holds back the urge to wretch.

Caelia: "True, not that I agree with their methods, but in a way I think it is only a natural process. The non tec people stand out as a weak link"

Lendaria feels totally comfortable joining in the banter of a strange crew she's never met before

Lazard: "I suppose...when you think about it...we are all technically children of the Gainsborough herself, what being reassembled at the molecular level by her and all."

Caelia: "When you look at it that way"

Keliaya: "Interesting analogy, captain."

Lazard: "Not exactly the most original idea...but remains an interesting thought on our current march of progress."

Lazard tosses his padd onto the empty seat next to him.

Lendaria FX | The ship receives an incoming hail from Legia IX as they approach the system

Lazard: "On screen."

Lendaria On viewscreen | Olelian officer appears https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.enjin.com/161311/legia/raglaw.PNG

Lendaria: | Olelian, "This is orbital control for unidentified Federation starship"

Lazard: "This is Captain Martin Acacius Lazard of the Federation Starship Gainsborough. How do you do, orbital control?"

Lendaria: | Olelian show no reaction to the small talk, "Gainsborough; verifying.... You are cleared for docking; please enter the shipping lanes at the outer marker and proceed to docking port Constellation"

Lazard: "Acknowledged."

Lendaria FX | The channel promptly closes and a navmarker is received for the shipping lane beacon

Lazard: "Well, then..."

Lazard: "Alright, folks. Prepare your stations for your relief and meet me in the shuttle bay."

Keliaya nods. "Right away, captain."

Caelia gets ready and heads to the shuttle bay

Eunha Is actually bringing a phaser this time just incase

Keliaya stands and heads for the shuttlebay as well.

Eunha Looks visably quite tired aswell

Lendaria: After a needlessly long and laborious trip through customs on board the docking station, the team are beamed down to the capital city

Lazard looks over his shoulder. "Are you feeling well, Eunha?"

Lendaria: Somewhere in town is Mysti; your saught after KDF contact

Eunha: "I went to the ice breaker yesterday on the station and didn't go to sleep till late but other than that i'm swell."

Lazard: "Mmn."

Keliaya looks around the city, taking in the sights.

Lendaria: You can ignore the mission objectives, but feel free to follow them as well. Any points earned through those objectives can be reported back in team chat for a later bonus

Lendaria: Otherwise; roam, explore, search, question as you see fit! And post any questions in team please as I may not be in range to see them if wandering!

Lazard nods to J'Fofofofofofoea. "Ma'am."

Caelia looks around "Should we spread out?"

Lendaria: | J'Fojofae turns and smiles to the new arrivals, giving a small wave, "Starfleet! Welcome!"

Lazard: "Best to stick together for now, I think."

Caelia nods at the Captains comment "Together it is"

Lazard: Well, is that a map over there? Let us have a look.

Caelia: "Will probably be a good help"

Lendaria FX | also; after going through customs on the docking station; all weapons were temporarily confiscated as they are not permitted planetside

Eunha Gets distratced by something and does what she does best and wanders off

Keliaya spots the infobooth. "Oooh...is that what i think it is?"

Keliaya activates the infobooth.

Lazard: "Thank you, Lieutenant."

Lazard looks around for Eunha.

Keliaya seems fascinated by the infobooth and proceeds to converse with it.

Keliaya asks the info AI if she can locate a specific person in the city.

Lendaria Infobooth | I do not have the capacity to find specific people. If you are looking for a lost or missiong person, you would do best to consult a Raglaw who is on duty"

Keliaya: "Looks like I'm spoiled by our shipboard computer's capabilities..."

Eunha Walks back over pretending she didn''t walk off at all

Keliaya: "Is Raglaw a...position or rank?"

Lazard mouths the word Raglaw to himself.

Lendaria: | Infobooth; A Raglaw is an enlisted officer with the Prostor Usherat; many can be found patrolling the district"

Keliaya: "How do we identify one?"

Keliaya: "Is there a uniform or something?"

Lendaria: | Infobooth, "Correct; Raglaws wear a grey uniform, as opposed to Than's who bear a brown tunic...."

Lendaria FX | Infobooth displays a holo image of a Raglaw: https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.enjin.com/161311/legia/raglaw.PNG

Keliaya nods. "Thank you." She looks around for grey uniforms.

Keliaya points to a Raglaw. "Found one, captain."

Lazard turns to face Kelly's pointer-finger.

Lazard: "Perhaps we should learn more."

Keliaya nods. "Should we approach him?"

Lazard: "Indeed."

Keliaya leads the way over, but steps aside to let the captain do the talking.

Lazard: "Salutations."

Lendaria: | Raglaw, "Greetings visitors. Can I be of some assistance?"

Lazard: "We are looking for a...Mysti? Does that name ring any bells?"

Lendaria: | Raglaw, "Miss-tee... Funny sounding name, I take it they are alien like all of you?"

Lazard: "Indeed."

Lendaria: | Raglaw, "Hmm... is thisa lost friend or something? I might be able to help better if I had a description"

Eunha: rolls 100 (1-100)

Eunha: AHAHAHAHA

Caelia: WOW!!!!) just because!

Eunha: "We are looking for an Orion. Female." she says through a yawn

Lendaria: | Raglaw, "Orion? Can't say I've seen many of those about town; let me put the word out and see if anyone else has seen anyone of that description"

Lazard: "Splendid. Many thanks."

Lendaria FX | He turns away briefly, talking into a wristcomm and occassionaly glancing back to the group

Lendaria: | Raglaw turns back to Lazard, "Well you're in luck; apparently your friend was just spotted crossing the skybridge - heading west towards the upper hospital tower"

Lazard: "Ah, wonderful. So...mmn...which way is that, exactly?"

Lendaria FX | The Raglaw laughs, "You really are visitors here aren't you!" He points straight up at the long forcefield-type bridge crossing the city high over their heads

Lendaria: | Raglaw, "You all have a plessant day now, and good luck finding your friend!" With that he wanders off back to his duties

Caelia looks up following the direction where the Raglaw points "Oh"

Lazard follows the length of the bridge with his eyes, looking for a terminal point.

Eunha Looks up and silenlty gulps

Eunha: "So uh how do we go up there?"

Caelia walks around a bit "Captain I do not see any visible access point"

Caelia looks at Eunha "Very good question"

Keliaya: "Well...I suppose we could start heading up for a start..."

Keliaya: "It might lead us to...where ever that bridge connects."

Keliaya heads toward the ramp.

Eunha: "Good place to start."

Keliaya: "Hmm...left ooor right?"

Eunha: "I'd say this one." she points int the direction she is facing

Keliaya: "Seems a good enough guess as any..."

Keliaya: "Looks like we're headed the right way..."

Eunha Looks down slightly and dizzily starts walking back

Keliaya takes a step onto the bridge. "Wow...we're high up."

Eunha: "Yeah..." she holds onto her stomach for a moemnt

Keliaya looks back to Eunha. "Not comfortable here?"

Eunha: "I sort of maybe have vertigo."

Eunha She says now just looking down to her shoes

Keliaya nods. "No need for all of us to go on the bridge."

Caelia: "Just stay calm Eunha, you will be fine"

Eunha: "Perhaps i'll wait here why others check the bridge."

Eunha Pulls a PADD out of her jacket and distracts herself with some note taking

Keliaya looks to Lazard. "So, where do we start looking for this contact...?"

Caelia: "The Reglaw mentioned something about the upper Hospital tower"

Lazard: "I believe the hospital was ment...yes, as the doctor says."

Keliaya: "Is that this one, or the one across the bridge?"

Caelia: "That... is a good question. This is where the Reglaw pointed" turns around to see if anything would resemble a hospital

Keliaya takes out a tricorder. "We should be...on the right side of the bridge, actually."

Keliaya smiles to Eunha. "Looks like we don't have to cross after all."

Keliaya looks up. "I suppose this is the one, then."

Lazard: "I wonder what sort of hospital this is."

Eunha Nods still note taking

Keliaya: "Maybe it's where they get their cybernetics."

Lazard: "One way to find out, I suppose."

Lendaria is totally not Lendaria but a nondescript Orion wearing the ceremonial armour of a Matriarch

Lendaria glances up as she sees the team approach, "Starfleet! Well... I didn't think Dhiov really had it in him!"

Lendaria chuckles as she climbs to her feet

Keliaya: "Seems we found who we're looking for..."

Lendaria: "So I'm guessing from the crisp white shoulders that you are the CO?" she says to Lazard

Lazard: "Captain Martin Acacius Lazard, USS Gainsborough. And these are my crewmen."

Lendaria leans sideways to glance past him, "And what a fine looking bunch they are too!" turns back to Lazard, "Tabadi Mysti; at your service" she grins, giving a faux-formal bow with arms splayed wide

Lendaria bows to Lazard.

Lazard bows his head. "Strange place to find someone."

Lendaria turns and looks back down at the people walking the streets below, "Yeah, but quite charming too, wouldn't you say"

Lendaria: "Besides; no stranger for me to be there than for any of you"

Lazard: "Charming in some ways and unsettling in others. You had some information for us?"

Lendaria: "So you're really going after the rogue cell?" she says turning back to him, "Kudos for trying"

Lazard nods firmly.

Lendaria: "But before we get to that; a little quid pro quo is in order, wouldn't you say? Namely the reason I am here"

Lazard tongues his cheek. "We were told you wanted to help, not help wanted."

Lendaria: "Oh and I do; think of it more as... proof of your trustworthiness before I hand over any delicate intelligence"

Lazard: "Mmn...yes. What is it, then?"

Lendaria looks back down at the street below, "Somewhere down there..."

Lendaria: "One of the visiting beta quadrant aliens posing as an innocent tourist is actually a Syndicate operative"

Lazard: "This sounds like a job for the raglaws."

Lendaria: "And I have reason to believe they are targeting a Starfleet officer who lives in this city; they went after her once before"

Eunha: "I can try and sense them out." she shrugs

Lendaria turns sharply back to him, "So if you prefer to leave the fate of one of your own to the local beat cops who don't even know what they're dealing with, then fine"

Lazard raises an index finger and wags it slowly. "That depends upon what you suggest we do."

Lendaria looks to Eunha, "A seer, eh? I knew there was something special behind those eyes!"

Lendaria looks squarely to Lazard, "What I suggest you do is help me Id this operative before they can complete their mission. Once found, I will take them into custody"

Lazard looks to Eunha.

Lendaria: "Help me with this and your trustworthiness will be proven; and you will have what you need to go after the rogue Tal Shiar cell"

Lazard: "We will assist, provided we are not required to break the laws of this place."

Caelia nods in agreement

Eunha: "If we're going after the Orion syndicate then laws might need to be broken."

Lendaria: "Do not worry yourself, Captain! The Syndicate may unruly but I represent a free Orion people with honourable ties to the Klingon Empire"

Lazard considers the Orion suspiciously for a long moment before nodding once.

Lendaria: "No laws will be broken either her or elsewhere; The Proster Usherat know that I am here as an agent of justice and welcome my intervention in weeding out this unsavoury character from their home"

Lendaria taps her wristcomm, linking a secure comms channel to the away team, "If you find the operative; contact me on this frequency. Good hunting Starfleet!" she grins as she... jumps off the ledge

Lazard reaches out in vain.

Lazard: "Oh...kay then."

Lendaria zooms back over their heads, giving a playful wave as she heads off to search

Keliaya: "Well...that's one way of making an exit..."

Lazard: "Thoughts?"

Keliaya: "We could contact local authorities to confirm the Orion's story."

Keliaya: "And if we're lucky, get a few pointers as to where to look."

Caelia nods "Not a bad idea. Maybe also contact the officer who’s life is in jeopardy. Maybe they have noticed something odd"

Eunha: "And I have a brain powers."

Lazard: "Brain powers seem to be our best bet. Do we even know who she claims has been targeted?"

Caelia grins at Eunha's comment

Eunha: "I can confirm that our Orion friend was being very open and honest."

Caelia: "Only officers living in the city. Very vague"

Caelia: "Maybe we should find out how many there are?"

Lazard: "Can you be sure that was not her phermones speaking?"

Caelia shrugs

Keliaya: "I don't believe Orion pheromones affect telepathy...doctor?"

Eunha: "I don't believe so either. Plus phermones only effect females after prolonged exposure."

Caelia shakes her head "They do not. At the very least it will leave a headace for prolonged exposure"

Caelia: "What she said" points at Eunha

Eunha Smiles at the Doctor as they give the same answer

Eunha: "So really Captain you should be the one more careful around her."

Lazard looks to Caelia. "Doctor, please visit the hospital and see if they have any records that might assist in our search."

Caelia smiles "Will do Captain. I will let you know if I find anything"

Lazard: "Trust me, I plan on it."

Keliaya: "Soooo...how do we single out this one tourist?"

Keliaya: "I take it reading everyone's mind isn't an option?"

Eunha: "Yeah that option would drain me and without our good doctor around while I do it, I'd probably collapse."

Lazard: "This will not be an easy task."

Lazard: "Especially wearing Starfleet uniforms."

Keliaya: "We could get changed and mingle with the people..."

Eunha: "I believe I have a spare change of clothes on the shuttle."

Lazard nods once. "It may be for the best."

Eunha: "Let's go get changed then."

Keliaya: "I think chances are this operative would be a new arrival instead of a permanent resident, so obtaining an arrivals record from the locals could narrow down our search..."

Lazard: "Agreed on both counts."

Lendaria: (since the shuttle was docked at the orbital station; you can say you beamed up and got changed there, getting info from customs while on the station. Then timewarp to your return at the beam in point

Lendaria: ...if you want)

Eunha: "It could be helpful if we split up. I could just wander around seeing if I get a sense that is out of the ordinary."

Keliaya: "I can go see if the Raglaws have noticed anything suspicious."

Lazard: "I suppose I will take a stroll through the markets. There seemed to be several out-of-towners wandering there."

Keliaya nods. "I'll comm you if I'm on to something."

Eunha Nods "Okay good luck then."

Keliaya: Kelly in her civilian outfit approaches the area she passed by earlier, populated by a number of uniformed Thans.

Lazard: *Lazard leans onto the tech store's counter, observing a bolian female at the far end.*

Eunha: Eunha wanders into quiet corners and glances around seeing if she can sense anything out of the ordinary.*

Keliaya: *Kelly approaches the first Than she spots* "Hello there."

Lendaria: | Lazards Bolian female appears to be perusing various cybernetics to enhance... personal stimulation...

Lendaria: | Kelly's Than nods in response, "Miss"

Keliaya: *Kelly eyes the uniform* "You're an...officer, I take it?"

Lendaria: | Kelly's Than shakes his head, "Enlisted personnel" he corrects, "Officers only wear a grey tunic"

Eunha: *Spots a Raglaw and speaks up* Excuse me sir...you wouldn't happen to know about a starfleet officer who lives here?"

Lendaria: | Eunha's Raglaw stops and thinks for a moment, "I don't know about Starfleet, but there is a Beta Quadrant alien who recently purchased an apartment in the northern plaza. I only know because we met+

Lazard: *Laz walks over to the model ship vendor and stands next to a redheaded humanish woman.* "They got the naucelles all wrong."

Lendaria: on a recent fishing expedition to the islands; She and her friend made quite the splash when they landed themselves a prize Ralp on their first trip out!"

Keliaya: *Kelly nods* "Right. You've heard about an Orion that's here to find a...criminal of sorts?"

Eunha: "Could you direct me to the northern plaza then I need to speak with this woman."

Lendaria: | Lazard's redhead stares up at him; they're all wrong - I've watched loads of ships come and go and none were this colour!"

Lendaria: | Kelly's Than, "The Tabadi? I heard something yes, why - have you seen something to report?"

Lendaria: | Eunha's Raglaw, "Head back into the central market and turn south; straight up the ramp between the restuarants"

Keliaya: *Kelly shakes her head* "No, actually I'm working with her and was wondering if you've got any suspicious activity on record."

Eunha: *Smiles* Thank you *begins to head that way.*

Lazard: *Laz to the redhead.* "Have you been here for long? I just stopped in, first time here."

Lendaria: | Kelly's Than shakes his head, "Nothing beyond the usual level of suspicion applied to all off worlders" he narrows his eyes at Kelly slightly

Keliaya: *Kelly nods* "Right..."

Lendaria: | Laz' redhead, "Oh yes! I've been making regular visits here ever since I heard about this place - I just can't get enough of all the lovely crystal formations!"

Keliaya: *Kelly heads off in search of other hints*

Lazard: 88

Eunha: 52

Lazard: *Laz to redhead* "I should take time to find a good tour."

Keliaya: 21

Keliaya: *Kelly approaches one of the Risian civilians* "Hello!"

Eunha: *Would be checking behind her every now and then just to see if someone is following her while searching for starfleet persons crib*

Lendaria: | Kellys Risian, "Hi there, don't believe I've seen you around before?"

Keliaya: *Kelly shakes her head* "Oh you wouldn't have, I've only just arrived here. Already looking to be a great place, though! Would you happen to know anything about it?"

Lazard: *Laz to redhead* "Why not show me a good place to set off? Surely you have enough experience to know all the best spots."

Lendaria: | Kellys Risian, "Oh, well there's a fantastic bar across town; has a real fancy indoor waterfool and glass upper floor. And the Ralp they serve is just delectable!"

Eunha: *Says to a random oilean civilian* Excuse me you wouldn't happen to know where the starfleet officers lives do you?"

Lendaria: | Laz Redhead gives him a funny look, "Are you... hitting on me?"

Keliaya: "Ralp? That's a local food I take it?"

Lendaria: | Eunha's civilian, "Starfleet? What's a starfleet? Ooh is that one of those funny looking aliens with the wrinkly noses?"

Eunha: "Nevermind." she smiles looking for another

Lendaria: | Kellys Risian, "Ineed it is! Absolutely delicious too. You've sooo got to try it while you're here, maybe you'd like to join me there later?"

Lazard: *Laz scans once over the redhead.* "Well, not yet. Would that be so terrible?"

Lendaria: | Laz redhead shifts on her feet, appearing a little uncomfortable, "Well... my husband might think so..."

Eunha: *Asks random civilians all around her until one gives her the answer she wants*

Lendaria: | One of Eunha's civilians points out an apartment on the upper level that was up for sale until recently, though they don't know who took ownership

Lazard: *Laz purses his lips.* "Then, no...but you still must know the way, right? No harm in showing a guy around town...unless your husband has rules against that, too."

Keliaya: *Kelly smiles* "Oh, I'd love to. First I should check in at a hotel...there is one around here, right?"

Eunha: *Thanks them and goes to take a look*

Lendaria: | Laz' redhead, "He does not, but I'm not in the habit of just wandering off with a complete stranger. Especially one who is so... strange. Please excuse me!"

Lendaria: | The redhead shuffles awkwardly away, glancing back wearily a few times to make sure he's not stalking or anything

Lazard: "Hmmph." *Laz shakes his head and wanders off in the opposite direction.*

Lendaria: | Kellys Risian turns and points across the square, "Just over there is a lovely little place with a nice view looking over the market. Want me to show you around there?"

Eunha: *Presses the doorbell in the hope someone answers* "Hello? is anyone there?"

Lendaria: | Eunha's door; no answer, seems nobody is home

Keliaya: *Kelly nods* "That'd be great, thanks!"

Keliaya: *follows the Risian to the hotel*

Keliaya: *Kelly observes the lobby first for anyone suspicious*

Keliaya: 30

Lendaria: | A few off worlders go about their business in the lobby, but nothing raising suspicion

Lazard: *Laz 'accidently' bumps into a ...vaguely human?... male walking through the markets.* "Oh, apologies."

Lendaria: | Laz' Risian turns sharply at the bump, "Hey! What's the big idea? Oh... /human/ huh... that says a lot!"

Lazard: "Hey now, pal. It was an honest mistake."

Keliaya: *Kelly heads to the bathroom and rigs her tricorder to scan as far through the hotel as she can to search for Orion lifesigns or suspicious devices/weapons.*

Lendaria: | Laz's Risian, "Yeah, just like everything your kind does... just get out my way!" he scurries off glancing back at Lazard with shifty eyes

Keliaya: 94

Lendaria: | Kelly locates Mysti on a balcony high up in the northern plaza, and unusual energy readings from a few meters within Lazards position

Lazard: *Laz delays action before attempting to track the Risian male through the streets from a distance.*

Keliaya: *taps her communicator*

Keliaya: <C - To Lazard> "Kelly here. I'm picking up some odd energy readings near you. Any idea what they could be?"

Lazard: <C> "I have encountered a suspicious Risian male. Roughly 180cm, blonde. Tracking."

Keliaya: <C> "Can you confirm if the energy signature is moving with him?"

Lazard: *scans for things with his stuff*

Eunha: <C> I believe i've found our starfleet officer's apartment want me to stay here. There's no one home though

Lendaria: | Close range scan confirms he is using what appears to be a genetic scrambler device

Lazard: <C> "It looks like we have our man. Converge on my position from varying points."

Keliaya: <C> "On my way, sir."

Lendaria: | Mysti <C> "Captain, it sounds like you've found a measure of success"

Eunha: *waits behind the corner and nods to Lazard if she catches his eye*

Keliaya: *stays behind a corner as well, scanning to confirm that the Risian is the one they want*

Lazard: *Laz picks up the pace, not really caring if he's spotted now.*

Lendaria: | Mysti <C> I have your target, verifying... seems that's our guy, wow this is some fancy lifesign masking!"

Lazard: *Breaks into a sprint, aiming for a spear tackle.*

Keliaya: <C> "I wonder if it's local tech...I for one haven't seen anything like it."

Lendaria: | As Lazard follows, drawing the operatives attention, the operative suddenly slaps a hand to the side of his neck as though just hit by an insect sting, then dematerializes in a red KDF transport +

Lendaria: beam just before Lazards lands his tackle

Lazard: *Lands hard onto the stone ground and rolls over one shoulder.*

Lendaria: | Swoops down to Lazards side, laughing at the timing of his tackle as she offers a hand to pull him back to his feet

Lazard: *Taking the hand, he rises to his feet.* "Satisfied?"

Keliaya: *steps up to Lazard* "You alright, captain?"

Lendaria: "Moreso than I expected to be!" she laughs"

Lazard: *brushes off his shoulder.* "I am alright, Lieutenant."

Lendaria: "You make for quite the entertainment Captain; sorry about the timing there though, better not to cause a scene in the marketplace with civilians present and all"

Lendaria: | Turns to the group, "Nicely done; all of you. I would have taken me forever to track him down on my own."

Lazard: "You have no idea how /pleased/ I am to provide you with the day's entertainment."

Lendaria: "And as promised Captain, your reward" she hands him an encrypted PADD, "This contains all you need to know to infiltrate that base"

Lendaria: "Now..."

Lendaria: "I don't suppose our Romulan friend gave you anything for me did he?"

Keliaya hands Mysti the PADD with the relevant information.

Lazard: *accepts the padd* "I am sure he sends his love and best wishes."

Lendaria: "Thanks Sugar" she smiles to Kelly as she takes it and reads

Lendaria: | Mysti's face drops into a confused and annoyed expression as she does so, "The Cell Leader is confirmed dead... But... that's impossible, it HAS to be the Branded Lady..."

Keliaya: "The...cell leader? Does that have to do with who we just captured?"

Lendaria: "It... well, yes and no..."

Lendaria: | Mysti sighs, "Alright so, I guess you good folks are a few pieces short of the bigt picture here still. I'll tell you what I know if you want"

Keliaya: *looks between Mysti and Lazard*

Lazard: "That would be lovely."

Lendaria: "Alright so; This Syndicate cell to whom our recently captured friend belongs used to be under Tal Shiar control"

Lendaria: "Not too long back; their leader was reported dead and someone new took over"

Lendaria: "Now, this only made sense as a play by the Tal Shiar to throw others off the scent"

Lendaria: "But according to this, the Syndicate leader really is dead"

Lendaria: "Which means that someone else was in control when they went after my... after the Starfleet officer"

Lazard: "Mmn."

Keliaya: "And this someone else...will they be a problem for Starfleet then?"

Lendaria: "Well... if it wasn't the Tal Shiar, then this plan to shut down their operation may not serve the purpose I had hoped, for me at least"

Lendaria: "So if it's not them, it really must be the Branded Lady spreading her control. But why would she want the logs of the USS Cairo..."

Lazard: "At least it is not the bearded lady."

Lendaria: | Mysti shakes the questions from her head, "I'm not getting in speculation now. You have what you came for, and I have what I came for. Let us..." sloooowly turns to Lazard

Lazard: *winks*

Lendaria: "Well... you folks really do let yourselves go when out of uniform don't you!"

Keliaya: *chuckles* "Well...I might have a dinner lined up with a Risian visitor..."

Lendaria: "Aaaanyway... I really do appreciate the help Starfleet; be content in the knowledge you may have helped save the lives of some of your own today"

Lendaria: "Good luck with the Tal Shiar. Even if they're not the ones I'm after, they need shutting down"

Lazard: "It may take some time to analyze this data. Leave could be arranged while we are here."

Keliaya: *smiles* "Thank you, captain."

Lazard: *Nods once.*

Lendaria: "You enjoy yourselves now! Toodles!", she grins, tapping on wristcomm speaking in Orion, "Mysti to Thana Venari; one to beam up - we've got a new angle on this"

Lendaria: | Vanishes in her usual enigmatic manner, leaving the team to enjoy their time on Legia IX, or go home, or whatever!

Lazard: "There we have it."

Eunha Yawns very loudly "Well I think it's time we go home."

Lazard: Yes, let us return and drop off the padd. From there, leave will be granted to the crew in usual rotations.

Keliaya nods, pocketing her tricorder and getting ready for beam up.
