“Bait,” Jessica said matter of fact. “They have to know what we are doing and what we want to do. They aren’t stupid so let’s throw some concrete chips into a back pack and make them follow us instead of us chasing them. A second team Can then get into this section of engineering and retrieve the piece.”

Jessica Teller xo

The knight nodded. “I would be willing to go into enemy territory to retrieve the piece. The enemy does not seem quite so tough now that they are more disorganized.”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Bait… once more Toveka’s gut twisted in her. “So someone else takes the artifacts, and we make it clear we are heading to, where? To a shuttle to get off the Outpost?” The idea went through her head as she mused out loud. “We could use a pack and case with decoys. The shielding on them will give us time. Once on the shuttle, we can beam out and the shuttle can take off at max speed to see if they follow?” She wasn’t sure she had the idea all formed. But it made sense in her head, even if it didn’t come out that way.

“Then engineering can get the other pieces and we can figure a way to get them all off the ship safely without them falling into the aliens’ hands.” Well, the ending she had straight. It was getting there that was the troublesome part.

((apparently keep forgetting who I am lol))

The knight looked at those who were still assembled. “You appear to know quite a bit about this station, what is the best way to get to this ‘engineering’?”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Jessica looked at Tenkiller debating in her head his reply. It could go either way. “So I will lead a team to be bait and you make sure Toveka and the knight get in and out of engineering safely.”

Jessica Teller XO

The woman in the dress nodded. “And I shall be moral support, along with directing any of my hiccups at the enemy.”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Toveka glanced at the XO then at Tenkiller. She imagined since she wasn’t crazy about the XO being bait, he likely wasn’t either. At the question of the swiftest way to engineering, she pointed down the corridor. “That way.” She then glanced at the woman in the dress and shook her head. Whatever the woman was, helpful didn’t seem to be one of the choices. The Science Chief would be glad when this whole business was over and the oddities on the ship were returned to their rightful places and times.

She glanced at Tenkiller once more. “I can get us to engineering, you need to help the XO.” As much as she wanted to help protect him, she knew that where the XO was going was more dangerous and needed Ten more than her. “All right?” She nodded to Tesla and the Knight to get agreements from them both that they could all manage on their own.

Tenkiller just shook his head and said “Last I checked, she was the boss… not you. And getting this handled is more important than getting anyone particular person a body guard.” He looked at the Security Officer, NE Folstead, and said “Phaser rifles and Heavy Stun grenades. Keep the XO from getting too shot up.” and he then looked at Toveka and the woman. “And I’ll do the same for you.” and he grinned.

Tenkiller, CoS

Toveka turned away, unsure whether to be flattered or upset. It was a good thing it was nearly impossible to tell when she was blushing, though Tesla, standing now right in front of her, may guess it. Tenkiller was one of those men you wanted to be closer to. But reality knew better and she listened to reality. “Of course, forgive me. Let’s go.” She started to head towards engineering.

(Flustered) CSO

Jessica picked up the pack and slung it over her shoulders. “Okay let’s go play cat and mouse,” she exited the security offices. Ardan would read her the riot act about being bait but that was something to worry about later. For all their differences in employment ideas they both understood loyalty. That concept cemented them more than anything. Activating the turbo, Jessica wondered how long it would take the enemy to get a read on the decoy teams location. It was inevitable the enemy would notice. Jessica just needed it to be for long enough for Tenkiller’s team to accomplish their mission

Teller xo

Tenkiller watched the XO leave and then followed the CSO and the woman. As they walked out, he charged the phaser rifle in his hands and began looking around them.

Tenkiller, CoS

bump

((was waiting to see if GM would enter anything here… guess not))

Toveka led the team to the engineering department. Glancing around corners when she was in front, and letting others do the checking when she wasn’t, she got them to the department and locked the doors behind them as they entered. Looking around, she frowned. “So how do we find this object, since it’s supposed to be in here.”

CSO
((wrong sign in))

The knight held up the display on her arm. “It appears to be within the walls, although the protective coating seems to be interfering with my scans. Am I correct in assuming that there are hatches that lead into the crawlspace around here?”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Tenkiller nodded and said “Yeah, but you’ll never make inside in that outfit.” and he looked around. “Can you tell me roughly where it is and what it looks like?”

Tenkiller, CoS

bump

The woman nodded. “It appears to be in the conduits there.” She pointed to an area where the readings for a number of systems were gathered before being stored, coincidentally the data being gathered was for the same systems that had strange readings at the start of the incident.

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

Toveka frowned then took a deep breath and nodded. “I can get in there.” She glanced at the readings then at the opening in the form of a panel covered access just a few inches off the floor. “What recently am I looking for?” She tugged down her tunic top in preparation for climbing they the shaft to the destination. “And can I grab it with my hands safely enough?”

How to get a hold of it crossed her mind. But what didn’t was what to do once she had it in her hands.

=/\=Um how are you guys doing in there=/\= Jessica said in panting breaths. It was obvious she was running as she was talking. At least for the moment it seemed like the decoy plan was working. What she needed to know was if this chase was going to be laps or a marathon.
