Crystal settled at he computer continuing to research all she could on there current mission. She was not thrilled about it. Snowflake was asleep in his corner she shook her head she should be in bed however she was to focused on her work.
Crystal Marine CO

The swift sound of the chime came to the door, alerting Crystal that someone was on the other side of the barrier.

Unknown

Crystal got up walked over to the door and opened it.” Can I help you” she asked the stranger on the other side.
Crystal Marine CO

Standing before her was a young Trill Officer. She seemed frazzled, scared even. Her body was shaking, but Crystal would recognize her as one of her marine Intel. “Major..”

Marine Intel

“ what wrong are you ok come in” crystal said consume crossing her face.
Crystal Marine CO

“I..” The woman struggled to say what she was trying to. When she stepped into the light, however, there was an obvious discoloration to the skin around her eye. “Please help.. I was trying to help him and he just..”

Kathy Iago
Marine Intel

Snowflake jumped up from his bed disturbed from his nap. He looked around before selling his attention on Kathy. “ Kathy breath tell me what happened I can’t do anything until I know what’s going on” crystal said calmly. She noted the discoloration. Could this have been some kind of domestic violence or had one of the admirals staff attack her.
Crystal Marine CO

“I.. don’t know who he was.. he looked like he was struggling. Like.. I can’t explain it.” Her body was shaking, violently, as she stood before her commanding officer, barely able to do just that. “I’d never seen him before.. but I went to help him, to see if he was okay. And he attacked.. like some kind of sick animal.”

Kathy Iago
Marine Intel

Crystal tapped her comm badge. =/\= crystal to the COS we may have an intruder on board one of my personal was attacked by an unknown assailant .=/\= . She then looked at the crew member take a seat I’ll get a medical team her in a moment. Once Kathy had taken a seat she taped her comm badge again=/\= crystal to medical I need a medic in my office=/\= she then turned and watched Kathy.
Crystal Marine CO

OOC: I’m gonna tag the XO instead, just to give him a chance to get into the Main Sim! Since we don’t have a CoS or Medical staff, anyone is welcome to play NEs!

IC: The woman was scared, her heartbeat tripling is normal rate. She couldn’t get out of her head those eyes.. the small, beady eyes.. a dark abyss that felt almost inescapable. In them, she saw only darkness, nothing beyond that and its friend: insanity. It was as if the man had gone mad, as if something had taken over his body. It startled her to the core, something incredibly hard to do to a marine. “He was insane.. he must have been.. no man in his right mind would act that way– surely!”

Kathy Iago
Marine Intel

=^= Acknowledged Major, I’m on my way. =^=
The XO was on his way back to the bridge and nearby when he heard the communication come over the system. He drew his phaser and rushed for the Maine Officer’s office. It was probably less than a minute before he appeared at the entrance with his phaser and entered the room scanning around for a second before realizing that there was no immediate threat in the room and put his phaser back on his belt. “What’s going on here Major??” He rushed over to the two trying to figure out what was going on.

Maxwell Saunders
XO

Crystal shook her head and but a hand/paw over her eyes and the brig of her muscle. “ Commander, please calm your self and put that weapon away this office is secure. We have an intruder on bored they startled my intelligence officer Kathy” she said gesture to the officer curintly in a chair. Crystals ears lay back against her head her ice blue eyes were trained on the bed XO. Her fur seamed to stand on end and her tail twitched back and forth indicating agitated. Despite her body language her voice was calm and quiet. She was trying to to agitate Kathy any more then necessary until a medic arrived to evaluate her.

Snowflake the Marine units unofficial mascot and crystals companion sat next to Kathy. The large male snow leopard lay his head across the young officers lap trying to calm her.
Crystal Marine CO

He was already in the process of putting his phaser away as she spoke. “Apologies Major, though when you hit the comms and mention a possible intruder with no context behind it .. I value the safety of the crew of this ship and wanted to ensure that you were safe.” He shrugged slightly, “Granted .. seeing as you’re the Marine you probably know a little more about combat than I do, but we could always use backup when we can, right?” He wanted to find some common ground they could both agree on as this actually was their first time actually meeting.

“ I pity the person crazy enough to come to the Dauntless looking for trouble “ she said with a smile. “ let’s hope your good enough in combat that my Marines and I don’t have to babysit you” she added half joking.

Kathy seemed relieved to have the company of the leopard, his weight alone offering security. “I.. I don’t think he was an intruder; his insignia was right, he wore the right uniform, and his name sounded familiar. A.. uhm.. his tag.. it read:..” she struggled to remember, bringing her hands to her temples in effort to give them something to work with.

Kathy Iago
Marine Intel

“Take your time, there’s no rush..” Max tried to remember himself if he had seen anyone peculiar as he was walking around, but he couldn’t remember anything at the moment. He’ll have to bring this up with the CO once he got back to the bridge. Still, an intruder onboard while there were diplomats and admirals aboard was something he didn’t want happening. Especially if this intruder was violent which seemed to be apparent now that he was closer and could see the intel officer’s eye.

Maxwell Saunders
XO

“ Take a moment to calm down. When you agitated it is hard to see clearly” crystal said. It was an order but given in a way that sounded like a suggestion. Snowflake stayed where he was and purred.
Crystal Marine CO

Kathy struggled to recall the name of the man that had attacked her. It had been written clearly upon a tag, ironed onto his chest for all to see. Closing her eyes, she pressed her finger tips into her temples, as if empowering her mind to remember more of what she had seen. Even though the two were sympathetic to her case, Kathy felt an obligation to remember, in case this man may have hurt any others.. or was going to, in the near future. “I guess you’re right..” She frowned, attempting to calm herself. “I don’t think he was an intruder,” she reiterated.

Bump for XO
Christina

Bump.

Trin

OOC: Again, sorry for the super huge delay .. work has been a nightmare x_x;

IC: “Someone already aboard the ship as personnel..?” He silently dreaded the thought, but there wasn’t enough information on all sides of what happened. Especially for the way the young officer was injured. “Again, there’s no rush. I’ll go ahead and grab a small cup of water for you.” He turned towards the Marine Commander, “Would it be alright to use your replicator?” He stood back up and pointed in the direction of the replicator in the corner.

Maxwell Saunders
XO

“Not personnel, as a member of the Diplomatic contingent. He came on board with the Admiral– err, I think that was before you were here. Anyways, he came onboard to help with the Bethrisian people.” She explained, bouncing from place to place in a tad of mania.

Kathy Iago
Marine Intel

Crystal node to the XO. She wanted Kathy carefully she noted that the officer was very disorganized it was extremely unusual for the officer. Crystal taped her con bag. =/\= Crystal to the admiral, one of my staff has been attacked, supposedly, by a member of your team. Is it possible to meet and set up a joint investigation =/\=.
Crystal Marine CO

The line was dead. Not a single effort of response came from the Admiral, or anyone for that matter.

Admiral

OOC: Bump for MCO/XO; CE, it might do you some good to pay attention to this thread. ;)
- Trin

Max had wandered over to the replicator for a small glass of water and returned with it shortly afterwards kneeling down next to the startled officer, bringing it in front of her hands so that she could take it when she was ready. “Here, some water for when you need it.” He looked back up at the officer’s CO as she attempted to reach the admiral. “Are you able to reach him ..? Something doesn’t seem right..” He quietly started to focus on the room and how everything felt. He was never good enough to be fully telepathic being part Betazoid, but he could still feel the way everything felt around him if he focused enough. His breathing slowed feeling for anything out of the ordinary of what was expected from the two that were in the room with him.

Maxwell Saunders
XO

OOC: I’m going to give Christina a few days to reply, then I’ll progress this.

Trin

“ no I was not able to reach the admiral” crystal said. She thought for a moment it was odd that the admiral had not responded. She taped her com again. =/\= Crystal to security there’s been an attack from one of the admirals personal I tryed to contact the admiral and got no reply can you check the admirals quarters=/\= she said .

=^=Security. We’re on it, Major.=^=

Security.

She thought again for a moment mobilizing the marines might be a good idea but it may be smarter to check where the admiral actually was. =/\= computer locate Admiral Lockhart=/\=

Marine CO

OOC: I’m sorry guys life got super crazy and I completely forgot about this ship I’m back now though I’ll try not to do that again.
Christina

The mechanical whir of the computer ensued.

=^=ADMIRAL LOCKHART IS CURRENTLY IN CARGOBAY 4.=^=

Computer

Crystal looked at the XO. “ I’m going to take a team of Marines to cargobay 4. Do you think you can drop ensign Kathy to medical and meet us there. I don’t want to send my team blindly into danger by themselves” crystal said. Snowflake walked over to the door ready to go the pair waited on the XO’s response.
Crystal Marine CO

“Of course.” Max nodded. “I’ll walk with her down to Medical and head over to Cargobay 4. I’ll update the Captain on what’s going on as well.” He flicked his head towards the door indicating that time might be of the essence.” Go. Hopefully you can find out something about what’s going on.”

He then stood up and held a hand out for the young officer to take, placing a hand on her shoulder as well for additional support. “Up you go Marine, let’s get you down to medical to make sure everything is okay.”

Maxwell Saunders
XO

“Thank you sir make sure your armed when you come to cargo bay four. My team will not babysit you.” she said before leaving the office with snowflake in tow. As she got out of the office she tapped her comm =/\= Crystal to Marine team one, head to cargo bay four I want the admiral and his team brought into custody for an investigation.=/\= she said the headed straight to cargo bay 4.
Crystal Marine CO

Max tapped the phaser at his side as he helped the young Marine up. “Already brought it with me, I’ll meet you there.”

OOC: I’m going to split these threads to make it a bit easier.

=^=Understood, Major. T.1 is en route to the cargo bay, as we speak.=^=

=/\= snowflake and i will meet you there=/\=

Upon arrival, Crystal would notice the cargo bay was stocked with several stacks of crates, each lacking identification. Per Starfleet regulation, all transported cargo was required to have, at minimum, an I.D. number printed on its face. These lacked such digits. Despite the presence of the ominous boxes, Admiral Lockehart was nowhere to be found.

It wasn’t too long after Crystal left that Max brought her subordinate to Medical and let the doctors know to give her a quick look over to make sure she was alright. As he exited sickbay he tapped his comm badge.

=^= Max to Captain Aihia, we have somewhat of a situation with the Marines. It appears that one of Major Crystal’s Marines was ambushed by the admiral or one of his attache’s. It also seems that for some reason he might also be in Cargo Bay 4? Something’s definitely shifty with this situation and Crystal has sent out a team to apprehend the Admiral. Would you like to head to Cargo Bay 4 as well so that we can get down to what’s going on before anything happens? =^=

=^=Ambushed? Have you detained the attaché?=^= There was a brief pause. =^=I am on my way now, Commander. Arm yourself and order a security detail to surround the cargo bay, if Major Crystal has not done so already. Should the attaché been acting on orders, we can assume the Admiral will be armed..and dangerous. Aihia, out.=^=

Storyteller

Crystal and snowflake made it to the cargo bay just before team one. The first thing she noticed was the lack of information on the crates.

=/\= Crystal to security we have some improperly marked crates in cargo bay four. My team in investigating now=/\= crystal said.

=^=We will send an officer to scan for any abnormalities. Please stay away from the cargo until they have arrived on scene.=^=

As her team arrived she split them in two sending half to investigate the crates the other half would sir have the cargo bay. “ Admral Lockehart you are playing a dangerous game I suggest you show yourself” crystal growled.
Crystal Marine CO

Maxwell Saunders
XO

As if the cargobay were empty, all but the unmarked crates making a home in its hollow heart, the air was eerily still. Sound bounced from the walls, the faint return of their echo meeting Crystal’s sensitive ears. The Admiral gave no response. Either he was a man whose evasive prowess was incredible, or something was very wrong.

While Crystal’s team investigated the cargo, they would discover each of the boxes was packaged the same. They were large, metallic crates sealed from the inside, a smal pinpad attached to the left corner of the foremost face. Aside from a few notches in the metal, there were no other details that indicated the contents of the crates. One could speculate, based on the material used to house the cargo, it wasn’t a gift for the Bethrisans.
