AQ/D01 - Bridge

[Samira Khasim]

Samira looked at Coppola. "Interesting deductions, Ensign," she said. "It makes sense; a criminal of any kind wouldn't want to draw attention to his or herself."

With Coppola's suggestion for a search grid and at Mala's indications - the underlying idea that the attackers were prepared, had waited for the shuttle - her suggestion at an away team made Samira furrow her brow.

"That's going to require something where we can't get the attention of the authorities," Samira said. "Logically, if the locals knew of a second away team covertly operating, they'd take offense to the first. However, it's definitely something we can't ignore; I'll talk to Commander Velaul."

But then, she heard Commander Velaul returning. Speak of the devil. Samira stood and listened. Clearly Commander Velaul may have picked up on the conversation, and her suggestion of using a land vehicle while making pretend to be on shore leave made absolute sense. "That's an excellent idea. Pretending to be on shore leave can definitely provide us with a cover. Hopefully the local civilians and authorities won't mind us being down there."

She nodded. "Understood, Commander. I'll need a team to come along...and probably a change of garb to look like we're going on Shore Leave."
