Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:08 PM
I spent two hours today arguing with several Bajoran ministers. None of them were willing to assist and kept passing me around.
They say it’s an internal matter.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:08 PM
Of course they did.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:09 PM
::makes her way to her usual seat::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:10 PM
::Keeps the ship in position relative to the area below:: Without taking the ship lower, I don’t think that I can get us closer.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:10 PM
Could be they don’t want to be bothered, or they have a connection with whomever is involved.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:10 PM
:::his instinct was to go down himself but they didn’t have the time to waste and argue rules and regs. He turned to Edra::: Assume nothing and be careful.

::looks around their new surroundings. They were in a region she hadn’t been to before, so nothing was familiar. She absently fingered her shorter blonde locks. Let’s not get too far apart, and stay in two groups.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:36 PM
::lets out the breath she was holding as they shimmered into form::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:37 PM

Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:38 PM
Use the viewscreen, put up a map with their tracked locations. ::watching wouldn’t help his anxiety but it was better than sitting here blind:::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:39 PM

CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:47 PM
:: There is a small, corner shop. The signal is strong. The sign on the shop indicated new and used items.::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:48 PM
::nods to the door of the shop:: what we’re looking for is in there.
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — Today at 9:50 PM

Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:51 PM
::hangs back, letting Edra and Constance enter first::
::smirks:: Could be worse. We could be in leotards.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:51 PM
:: The shop owner is a small proportioned gentleman.:: May I help you? Is there something your looking for? The shop owner smiled at Edra. “We have new and used and can make anything special for you?”
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:52 PM
::walks in, taking note of the others inside, customers and vendors:: I think you’ll like the items in that case. :upbeat, too Constance, as if they were browsing::

Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:53 PM
(All good)
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:53 PM
::Moves the ship again:: Tum te tum. Nothing to see here, we’re just … surveying. Surveying… lalalalala. ::All muttered quietly::

acts like shes looking around at the items
LTGhas — Today at 9:54 PM
::follows suit, holding her hand tight::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:55 PM
::scans items in another case. When she gets to the following one, she tries to not let her face go pale:: How about this one? ::showing Constance::
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:56 PM
::adjusts her tricorder tucked in the satchel, scanning the building for life forms::
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — Today at 9:56 PM
* looking at it* ” that looks really nice what ive been looking for”
LTGhas — Today at 9:56 PM
::the bit of stress he felt melts::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:57 PM
::looks up at the shop keeper:: can you tell us a little more about this piece?
…please.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:58 PM
The shop keeper shuffles over. “Ah yes that piece arrived yesterday. Very nice used item. Would you like me to take it out of the case for you to view and maybe try on?””
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:59 PM

Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 10:00 PM
::Checks the position of the away team and moves the ship again::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 10:01 PM
Actually, it’s for her. Here, hold it up.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 10:01 PM
:;When the earring touches Edra’s hand, she feels strange:: “Edra help me!”
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 10:02 PM
