R’han addressed the Captain, “We’ve got a planet full of delegations from across the quadrant below on Risa. I know things are hectic for you here right now but I’ve been away from my people for long enough to know that things are going to get hairy down there soon. I know it’s a big ask but some diplomatic aide and some extra security would ease the burden enough that I could put some of my resources to work on helping you get your crew member back, I have a score to settle with Miss Kaylee and her mother in crime”.

Laraan gave Luka a look, it was not her place to report and take charge, that was the Commander’s job. “I would be willing to go with him.” she said to Luka.

“Yes, I think it is best that I try and stay as far away from my doppelgänger as possible,” Kaylee said, nodding in affirmation.

Luka considered it briefly. “From what I can gather is happening… our only hope may be to take every possible avenue to fix this situation. Go. Choose a team you trust to help you. I will attempt to smooth down the situation here. Of course, we must wait until the lockdown that R’han initialized is resolved…”

Bump

Kaylee turned to Eddington. “You mentioned getting back to your ship?” She was curious as to what he had in mind.

-Kaylee Baxter

Eddington waved a portable comm device, “I’m getting some strange reports from my ship, transporters offline, strange systems failures, medical emergencies. I was thinking that we could help you coordinate a search but right now I’m worried that we might have our own problems to deal with. I’m supposed to be representing the human delegation on Risa so my 2IC is handling it right now, I’m a bit torn but I think right now I should come with you down to the planet.”

OOC Just incase you want to puppet Lindsey.

R’han made a face. =^=Captain, I have a mirror Barkley who claims he has the wherewithal to assist in our apprehension of the mirror Baxter.=^= He paused to get his mirrors in alignment. =^=But he needs to come on board first.=^= there was a suspicious tone in R’han’s voice. His normal level of suspicion… which was good, but it was tinged with a tone of annoyance which was bad, but only bad in such it meant that Barkly had a good chance of getting phasered for any aggravation his caused.

R’han

=/\=Really? Is that so. Well, given that we need people to help us navigate things here, I’m not entirely opposed, but I’m armed and have backup. So, I’ll allow it, but I’ll meet this person myself, provided our transporters or working. That or a shuttle. Just tell me where and give us 5 mins.=/\=

OOC: Cross-posted from Security thread. And someone please snip for me. Thanks!

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO
OOC Done

Kaylee turned to Eddington. “What do you know of Barclay?”

-Kaylee Baxter

Eddington looked blank but Rhan raised a finger. “He’s an Agent of Memory Omega” his nose wrinkled a little as he realised the reference probably didn’t mean much to Kaylee. “Emperor Spock started it years ago to safeguard the future of the burgeoning human alliance. They’re a bit stiff and all that but ultimately their hearts are in the right place. It was them who brought Smiley O’Brien, Luc Picard and M’k’n’zy of Calhoun together with the Romulans to overthrow the Cardassians and Klingons. I’d be inclined to trust the man”.

Kaylee nodded. “Very well.” She turned to Luka and Laraan. “I suggest that Counselor Laraan handle the diplomatic away team and I remain here, where I may not be mistaken for my assassin double.”

-Kaylee Baxter

“Smart idea. I will make my way back to the bridge,” Luka said, “and hopefully get a bird’s eye view on this entire situation…”

Luka, XO

OOC: Julia might not be able to be super active in the main sim for the next several weeks, so in the interest in not holding up the sim, either Kaylee does go, or I would suggest calling in Janna (she’s in Sickbay helping out right now) to step in. ~Linds

Kaylee turned to Laraan and Eddington. “If I may suggest that we send our assistant Counselor with you, Janna Kingston,” She said. “She might help soften the surprise of you bringing a Heleen with you.” She smiled gently.

OOC: I think Kallen would be the logical choice in this situation, as Kaylee’s doppleganger is the assassin. But I’ll leave it up to the GM if you want me to jump in there I can, even as an NE if need be.

-Kaylee Baxter

A moment later the doors to the conference room opened and admitted the possibly imposing figure of the captain, phaser rifle in hand and all. She took in Luka, Kaylee and Laraan, plus their guests. “We need to break orbit to pursue our saboteur. What’s the situation here?” she asked, her tone stiff. Laraan and Kaylee knew her well enough to know she was damn well pissed and holding it back, but she and Luka were still getting to know one another.

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

Luka briefly explained the situation. Not much had happened since her last communication with the Captain.

Luka, XO

OOC This must be flashback Friday :-) I’m assuming you all mean Janna Kingston, not Kallen Reese right? We have mirror Kallen on the planet ( a mystery yet to be taken up with our resident mirrorman Michail Reese) but our Kallen is no more. I’ve made some edits, please forgive the intrusion. I’d be ok with Kaylee going planetside, it was my original thought, let me clean up a bit.)

OOC: Just a tad brain dead lately. Consequences of high amounts of writing in other projects. Carry on. Hand waves You saw nothing.

Eddington spoke to the heavily armed Captain, “If you’re deciding between a diplomat and a counsellor to help out with the talks then I’d be the first to suggest that we have both.” He turned to Kaylee, “Your doppelganger is an assassin, true, but the only people who know that are in this room or on a ship with them now as we speak”.

R’han added with a wry smile, “My weather engineer Orvos knows as well, in fact, it was him who brought the fact to my attention, something I wish I had shared with you all earlier. However he’s very tight-lipped so I’m sure he’ll give you no trouble if I alert him… mind you, I’d have to find him first…”

Ghubari eyed their guests with slight suspicion, but she knew all too well that she had little choice here. “Kaylee, take Janna with you to the shuttlebay and get down there. But be warned, the ship will leaving on pursuit. I’ll send Ensign Va’Ser-La from security with you, and you’ll find Commander Stark and Lieutenants Vander and Legen down there. They’ll provide all the back up you need. Now hurry, we’re running out of time here,” the captain ordered.

OOC: For the sake of brevity and not stalling action, I say that unless Ian has objections, that we forgo the actual shuttle thread to the surface and just have the team arrive. Sound fair?

OOC: I agree. I’ll pick up in the new thread once the GM starts it for us.

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

“Very well,” Kaylee said, nodding. She tapped her comm badge. =/\= Baxter to Kingston. Please meet me in the shuttle bay for an away mission. =/\=

She then turned to Eddington. “Shall we?”
