As the group was quietly debting their next move, Rand would feel someone or something brush against her left shoulder where she was standing by a corner of one of the buildings. When she would glance that way she would see a pair of small downtrodden children heading off with their heads bowed. One, a human girl of maybe 4-6 years, glanced back with just a hint of green eyes before looking away, the pair then began to turn down an alleyway making their way out of sight.

Rand quickly checked her person and bags to see if anything was taken. She also glanced up to see if anyone or anything was there. The children were young and small. They may have reached her shoulder stretching with a hand but not by simply brushing past her. The green eyes stood out to her. Watching them disappear she spoke to the group. “We’re drawing attention, we need to decide where to go. Maybe even that way.” She had a strong desire to follow the children. She would gladly give them what coin she had, but she needed to make sure they hadn’t pick-pocketed anything they shouldn’t.

Kovan had finished adjusting his own pouch and items to minimize or outright prevent pickpockets when he saw the children run off with heads bowed and towards the alleyway. “Dammit, what did they get?” Kovan said to Rand.

Unfortunately for Rand one of the children had nicked something, in this case, their sneaky fingers had snaked into her bag and not only made off with her entirety of local coinage (30 gold pieces, 25 silver pieces, and 90 copper pieces), but more importantly made off with her comm badge and the small dagger that had been given to her for her local defense.

Rand cursed in Gaelic, “Cmdr, they got my communicator.” She wasn’t too worried about the money, the ship could give her more if they could find a safe place for transport. And the small dagger that was taken wasn’t the only one she has grabbed in the transporter room, and she still has the sling and bag of shot. It was the tech she was worried about. She was lucky it was just the communicator because that had been in her bigger bag with her tricorder and phaser.

Roman cursed under his breath. “We have to find it, we can’t let them keep it. Which way did they go?” Most likely, it would be meaningless to the people here. A mysterious object they didn’t understand. But it would be a breach of protocol to leave anything behind without trying to retrieve it. “Everyone else keep an eye on your pockets, we don’t need to lose anything else.”

~ Lt Cmdr Alden, XO/CSO

“That way! Follow me.” Kovan knew which alley the two children took and took off at a run after the children. They lost too much ground already and they had to get sight of those children fast or risk losing them entirely.

Making sure her bag was securely closed and her hood up, she started down the alley where she could just make out the two children in the crowd following Kovan. “Two children. One appeared human, a girl of maybe 4-6 years, with green eyes. I didn’t get a good look at the other.” She pointed having spotted them, “There.” Great it would have to be her that had something taken. It was common even in modern societies to be pick-pocketed, but why did it have to be her?

Yeoman Rand

As the group made it around the corner, both the girls were equally making their own hurried ways around another corner further down the alleyway. Their steps were hurried but quite light and soft. At the sound of Rand’s ‘there’ the two moved faster down out of sight into the murky alley ahead around the corner.

When the group would get their a few seconds later, they would find the two girls were struggling in frustration to move a heavy looking trunk almost as big as them off from a wall, the first pin pricks of likely a hidden passage being shown. Glancing up the second girl gave a gasp, “..Oh voth, they are coming! Hurry up, Candice!” she said to the first who glanced back at Rand and the others who had the green eyes.

The two were making a little progress and trying to force themselves through the crack in the trunk and wall to get in, had they done it one at a time they might have gotten away but because they had panicked and gone in together they only ended up stuck.......the back of their legs and lower torso’s flailing helpless and arguing amongst the two. “..I’m stuck!” Both argued to the other, “..Well its your fault for going first! I had the goods!” Another said, “..Well it’s your fault for picking them!” Another replied.
