Brianna smiled. Seems she was in a better position for her choice in patrons already. “Isn’t killing on sight a bit harsh? Would it be better to stun and make sure they are secure, then see if we can find out what the stones were for or where else around here we could stumble on stashes and hideouts like this?” She was no security person by any stretch of the imagination. But it struck her that ‘kill on sight’ orders never seemed to take potential intel into account.

She was absently rolling the stones in her hand as she talked. There was something else about them in the back of her mind she couldn’t bring up. About their use, trade… something. And it was making her crazy trying to remember.

Urg and K’letn both laughed loudly. K’letn said “By the Gods you are just adorable, aren’t you?” which caused Urg to laugh harder. Finally composing himself he said “Oh gods, Fire Born. You really have never dealt with the Tal Shiar, have you? No… no information would be forthcoming. They’d just as soon kill themselves than divulge anything. And take as many of us with them as possible. Besides, Oed V jurisdiction stops at the dome… at least in practice, anyway. Im not going to call the cops and think they’ll show up any time soon to deal with issues with a mining claim.”

Urg, Lord Duroc

The laughter of the two made her cross her arms. Sadly, it merely made her look more like a petulant child next to the fierceness of the Klingons. “Glad I could be such amusement for you. I don’t think anyone’s ever used adorable when describing me.” She glared slightly at K’Letn and half grumbled under her breath.

Listening to his comments, she shook her head. “No, I’ve never dealt with them. This time, I will bow to your better judgement. But it’s mostly because we are so far from the dome and out here, I can’t afford to be wrong.” She wasn’t sure if he’d catch that this wasn’t a usual thing for her. But in this matter, at least, she was willing to listen to someone who had ‘been there, done that’ so to speak.

Urg nodded and said “Done. Let’s clear these tunnels and then see what we have to work with. That work for you?” he asked the Head of Mining.

Urg, Lord Duroc

Brianna laughed and inclined her head respectfully. “I couldn’t have said it better myself, Lord Duroc.” She glanced around at the bodies and frowned. “I’ll get a team from the dome to come clean up this mess. I am sure security will want a heads up of the activity that was going on here. Perhaps letting the other mines know to check their ‘back doors’ might be a good idea as well. I would find it hard to believe this was their only stash here.”

She gathered up enough of the stones to be sure she had an adequate sample for her own studies and then made sure the rest were closed up. She’ll have to be sure the crates were sent to her storage bay. She would definitely need to be sure the Federation was aware of what was going on, as well. Chances are this wasn’t the only planet it was happening on, either.

She helped them clean up and seal this end of the caves from others sneaking in then they headed back the way they had come down. As small groups broke up to explore little branches along the way, Bri stopped now and then to pick up a rock here, a stone there. Various samples went in her pouch as she followed Urg back to the entrance.

OOC: Sorry I missed this!

((No worries… rocks aren’t going anywhere lol))

Urg simply nodded as she spoke and when she began to collect her samples, he sent a guard with her. As they made their way out, he looked at K’letn and she simply nodded and turned and walked away. Urg looked at Brianna and said “I am going to stay here for a while longer. If you wish to go back to tell the authorities at Oed about this, do so. I will make sure the guards know to expect them.”

Urg, Lord Duroc

Brianna smiled, her hand rising to touch his arm before dropping it, realizing what she had done. “Thank you, Urg. I honestly do appreciate all you have done, are doing,” she smiled broader, “and probably will do. And I mean that.” She nodded once more and headed off to her ship. Authorities certainly needed to know about this and she didn’t trust the comms as far as she could throw the small runabout.

Urg watched as she left. As soon as the engines powered up on her shuttle, Urg looked at K’letn and said “Do it now. I dont trust anyone from that place except Karlson, so let’s get everything out before anyone else comes back.” K’letn nodded and in less than two minutes the tunnels were a swarmnof activity as multiple teams began taking off down every passage.
The tunnels were huge, but with enough man-power anything is possible. In just over two hours Urg was told that his engineers estimated they had mapped and cleared about 80% of the tunnel complex. More caches had been discovered, but no Romulans. All of the crates had been packaged and moved to the Klingon vessel. They wwre scanned for traps and such, but would remain sealed and under guard till Urg said otherwise.

Looking at K’letn, Urg said “We should get ready for our visitors.”

Urg, Lord Duroc
