(sbip)That triggered something in her. She wasn’t armed… she didn’t even have her tricorder. She knew she had it not a minute ago… what happened in the last minute that might have cause her to lose both her tricorder and phaser.

M’Lene gave Steward a mischievous smile as she reached for her tricorder to continue their analysis of the local wildlife. She reached into the pouch where she normally kept it to find it empty. Raising a quizzical eyebrow she checked in her bag which was also tricorderless. With an exasperated sigh she looked towards where the young man had scampered off to as she shook her head. “You have got to be kidding me…” she muttered under her breath, somewhat embarrassed that she hadn’t noticed their light fingered friend pick pocketing her. Slinging her bag on her shoulder she grabbed Steward by the arm and started jogging in the direction the urchin had gone. “Come on! He can’t have got far!” she urged as she dragged Steward with her looking for where he might have run off to, hoping she wouldn’t have to explain to the Captain that she’d been caught off guard.

There was some truth to that statement, due to the urchin’s need not to seem like a criminal he had to walk out of sight and then only move slightly faster as even the local security was interested in general theft. They would be even moreso if they learned that a weapon was stolen.
=/\= All away teams report status =/\= Kelly stated.
Captain Kelly Bordeaux
M’Lene gulped nervously as she heard the Captain’s voice through the comm channel. She took a deep breath and pressed her comm badge to reply. =/\= Lt (jg) M’Lene here ma’am, I’ve run into a little problem… =/\= she replied sheepishly. =/\= It seems a young boy has made off with my tricorder and phaser… =/\= she added quietly and braced herself for a dressing down.
Lt (jg) M’Lene (CSO)
Kelly stopped in her tracks hearing M’Lene’s reply. =/\=You lost the tricorder=/\= she said with a bit of tension to her voice. =/\=I am sending Vladar to assist you. Do what you can to recover it but don’t exacerbate the situation or cause a situation. Contact me with updates=/\= Kelly snapped off her comm badge.
Captain Kelly Bordeaux
M’Lene winced as she heard the expected annoyance in the Captain’s voice. She gulped as she tentatively tapped her comm badge. =/\= Yes ma’am. /\= she replied, opting to keep it short and sweet. She sighed as she ran her fingers through her fur, cursing herself for such a stupid mistake.
In a few moments, Lt Vladar and Pvt Yelchin arrived. His metal hand rested on his phaser pistol, Dan said “Captain’s orders. You need Marine support to deal with a small child who stole your sidearm and tricorder?” He looked at M’Lene with a sense of near disbelief.
M’Lene opened her mouth to speak but he had a point, it was as ridiculous as it sounded. She grimaced and nodded silently in response.
“Yelchin, cover the exits.” Dan drew his weapon and set it to stun. “I’ll flush him out.” Yelchin nodded. “Yes sir!” He said in a thick Russian accent. Dan started sweeping through the area.

The arboretum had multiple exits, which the urchin had most certainly had escaped through. Using the direction that he had left by, he went into the main low income housing unit. Just looking at the housing density, there could be 10,000 people residing in this section add visitors there are probably 12 to 13 thousand possibles in this section. That number would increase as time went on. At this moment, given rate of foot-speed the pool was about 300, but every moment the number would increase exponentially.
“Anything I can do?” she asked, instantly regretting it as she braced herself for a sarcastic response.
Lt (jg) M’Lene (CSO)
Dan didn’t speak, showing no sign he even heard M’Lene. Yelchin spoke up. “Don’t worry. He’s not big mad, he’s just man on mission. Captain… she is big mad. Difference is: small Captain, big mad, giant Marine, small mad.” The odd, thin, Russian almost didn’t seem to know where a sentence would end when he started it. “Yelchin! Exits!”
“Covered sir! Small mad, big voice.” Dan swept around looking under and around everything.

Dan raised his weapon. “EVERYONE DOWN ON THE GROUND! THERE IS STOLEN STARFLEET PROPERTY ON THE PREMISES. RETURN IT NOW OR I WILL CALL BACKUP!”
