: : : : : : : : : : Lei smiled "Then let's go walk, you can see how we are preparing for the festival that is coming and perhaps sample some of our local foods." He said his wife taking his arm. Mei Lynn opened the doors to the great hall and stood to the side to let the others pass.

: : : : : : : : : OOC: Just going to magically ignore the CO's disappearance for the moment till we sort out what's going on. I've taken liberties to answer Ketchum's call since Ayla is there too.
: : : : : : : : : IC:
: : : : : : : : : "That would be lovely," Sharise replied as she followed them out. "Do the preparations for the festival take a lot of time?" she asked curiously.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Sharise, CNS
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : OOC: Bah, normally I'm good about my multiple characters, lol.
: : : : : : : : ~Linds
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Lei nodded "It takes a great deal of preparations." He said leading the way out of the house, not seeing the cloaked person near the door watching the group walk out. Once they were on the walkway, the cloaked figure brushed up against Eos and within moments, the Star Fleet Captain, was on the ground experiencing convulsions.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : "Captain!" Ayla exclaimed as Eos fell. She knelt down and knew she couldn't do anything till the convulsions stopped, but she did roll him onto his side so he wouldn't choke on his tongue. She tapped her combadge. =/\=Sharise to Black. Doctor, the Captain is down. I need you back at the Governor's Mansion asap! =/\=
: : : : : :
: : : : : : : Lei saw the man fleeing and yelled at two of his guards to take the man down as he knelt next to Eos "Mei...Get the Doctor here now." He said in Chinese as he motioned for two other guards to carry the fallen man back into the mansion. Unbeknownst to the team at the Governor's mansion, another member of the team had also been attacked but that attacker managed to escape. This one was not as fortunate.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : The two guards that had been chasing the cloaked figure returned a short time later with their prey in custody. They had not removed the cloak until they returned.

: : : : : : Ayla looked up and opened her empathic mind to the man, trying to get a sense of him while they waited for help.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Sharise, CNS
: : : : :
: : : : : The cloaked figure's mind betrayed nothing. They had protected him from any empath or telepathic invasions when they trained him for this mission. He stood like a statue beneath the cloak and gazed from beneath the hood at the officers around him. He fixed on one specific Lieutenant, those eyes looked very familiar it had been many years but that face hadn't changed all that much.

: : : : : Cloaked Figure
: : : :
: : : : NLt Karin Lawerence was kneeling next to her fallen Captain when she looked into the cloaked figure's eyes. It couldn't be. She nodded to the other two NE's that were with her to take the Captain back into the mansion. Gov'n Lei led the way to one of the guest bedrooms. Lawerence stepped in front of the cloaked figure and stared into his face for a moment and muttered "You're dead. It can't be you." She pushed back the hood of the cloak to see if it was truly who she thought it was.
: : :
: : : The now uncloaked man just stared back with blank eyes, he couldn't confirm who she though he was .... not yet.
: : :
: : : : In the mansion, the Governor's personal physician arrived and began treating Eos. Governor Lei returned to the now unhooded man "What is the meaning of attacking my guests?" He demanded "Bring him into my office immediately." Lei turned on his heel and stalked into his office.
: : : :
: : : : Mouse of Nevermore
: : :
: : : The man was led into the office by the starfleet officers and stood in the doorway staring at the Governor.
: : :
: : : Mystery Man
: :
: : Lei looked at the man "Identify yourself." He demanded "Why did you attack the Captain of the Saracen?" He demanded finally lapsing into Chinese and reading the man the riot act.
:
: The man remained stone faced, he didn't seem to react to intimidation at all.
:
: : Karin stepped forward, she knew that John had been declared dead during the Entente's last mission. But what was he doing here now...this couldn't be him. She looked at Governor Lei "Sir, I believe I may know his identity. But I need to ask him a question to confirm it." She said standing directly in front of the silent man.
: :
: : Lei growled "Go ahead with your question." He ordered leaning against his desk, this day had just gotten much worse.
: :
: : Karin looked down "What is the pilot's nickname on the Entente?" She asked looking him in the eye and then followed it up with "What was your nickname for me when I was a kid?"
: :
: : Mouse of Nevermore
:
: The man raised one eyebrow and replied
:
: "Mirri would be a good nickname for a pilot I guess and if I had ever known you as I child I think I would have called you..... nosey?"
:
: NE Lt Lawerence would notice that the Mystery man had intentionally insulted her in a way to indicate he had not known her and would not cooperate in a useful manner.
:
: - Mystery man

Karin looked at the mystery man, the only thing on her face that betrayed her was her eyes. She knew who this man was but figured that he was deep undercover. She turned to the Governor "I was mistaken." She said "He's not who I thought he was." Karin stood next to the other NE's and looked at the Counselor for further orders.

Lei glared at the man "Put him in a cell. Get him out of my sight until he's ready to talk." He looked up at his personal physician walked in "Governor, Captain Dyne appears to have been infected with Clostridium botulinum." He looked at the mystery man "I have begun treating him, he is currently unconscious but should make a recovery." He said "I would suggest taking him back to his ship and in the care of his medical staff. He is stable for now."
