Arriving in the transporter room the short trip in the lift had been a quiet one.

As they stepped up onto the transporter pad, Brooks looked at the others in his away team.

"I selected you for your knowledge and experience. Lets be careful not to rock the boat before we know what is actually going on." Brooks said really noting it more to himself then the others.

Looking to the transporter chief he said,

"Energize."

The away team disappeared into the blue haze.

[Kalli Thorn]

<<< Main Engineering <<<

Not far behind the others, Lt Thorn entered and saw that it looked like she had made a good call on not grabbing an entire tool kit, but just to cover her backside, she said, "Sir, are you going to want me to grab any specific gear?"

While waiting to hear his reply, she reached down and silenced the small device on her belt. If she wasn't bringing a kit, she wouldn't be bringing DeeDee's drone unit either. These people sounded paranoid enough and she didn't think it was a good idea for what might be a diplomatic mission.

==Before beam out==
Before they beamed down Thorn asked if there was anything else she would need to bring,

"At this stage, not as far as I know." said Brooks, "This conversation with the Ambassador will be the way of getting to know what he is in real need of." replied the Captain.

[Shione Kurasa]

Shione arrived. took her tricorder from the Security NCO and passed out Phasers with holsters to all of the away team.

"Please confirm the phaser is charged, and I suggest facing out as we do not know who or how many people will be there to greet us."

With that she strode to the back of the platform and faced away.

"Whenever you are ready."

[Kalli Thorn]

Lt Thorn gave a polite nod and responded, "Understood, Captain."

Kurasa handed out weapons, which Kalli then followed their lead in how they were wanting them displayed or concealed.

She then followed the example of the others and took a position on the transporter pad.

[Daniel Brooks]

<<<Away Team<<<

As Brooks and Thorn returned to the Aquila he couldn't help thinking it was a case they would have to back the right horse and not be swayed by political maneuvers to coerce them in the wrong direction.

"Lieutenant, I want you to work on a back up plan for if there is a chance a rescue attempt is a trap. In the meantime I will go and see what Commander Velaul has got for me."

Brooks headed out the door of the Transporter Room and to the nearest turbolift.

[Kalli Thorn]

<<< Away Team <<<

Lt Thorn turned to the Captain and looked into his eyes for just a second or two of pause before responding with a nod, "Aye, sir. Should such a situation present itself, I will be prepared to discuss options for you."

She slowly stepped down off the transporter pad and walked toward the door. Her mind was concerned about the mission now. Until this minute, she had thought it was just another diplomatic mission and these might be some complications, but nothing out of the ordinary. To be completely honest, she wasn't overly experienced in diplomatic matters, so she really didn't have much to go on. Still...the fact that the Captain wasn't asking this of his Security people, that told her something. She wondered for a moment if perhaps he knew more about her past than she thought. However, in the time she had been with him, she had become known for her less than conventional approach to things at times. Kalli would admit that there were times when she was more willing than some to bend or even break a few rules to accomplish the mission. The thought crossed her mind that if the standard tactics didn't work out, he might need something the other side wouldn't expect as a Federation response.

As Kalli walked through the door and headed toward Engineering, a grin appeared on her face. Unpredictable? THAT she could do. The tricky part would be if the Captain wanted any of the bad guys to live through the process. THAT might be more of a challenge, but she would call that version Plan B.
