ON:

Slowly, the cloaked USS Luna eased into a high orbit above Nimbus III.

Luna, Bridge

"Commodore, I'm picking up only typical comm-traffic from the surface and ships in orbit, it doesn't appear we've been detected." Draven reported.

As they approached Stonebridge listened and monitored the security band for anything out of the ordinary. Once they assumed orbit, he put his console to station keeping and ready to receive comms from the group once they went down to the planet. Now he just waited for the command to deploy and he would be on his way. He would act as a mercenary for hire, and hope this might gain him entry with the right group of criminals.

Lee turned in his chair and gave a nod "Okay Commander sounds good, assume standard orbit and let everyone know to get ready for the mission."

Holly was at her station monitoring the ship to make sure it was maintaining proper power to keep everything going. She was keeping a heavy eye on it as she knew one little flux and they were going to be compromised. This was dangerous but so far the ship was holding itself together.

Stonebridge got up and headed to his quarters to get dressed. As he lay his gear on the bunk, he took inventory. Comms package, check. He picked up the almost invisible ear wick and stuck it in his ear. Rear of back holster, check. He reached around and stuck the holster in place and secured it. He reached down on the bed and grabbed his .45 ACP Lt/weight Commander. Slipped the mag in the magazine well and push it into the Locked position and jacked a round. Dropped the mag and put a full mag in and loaded another round in the one he had just ejected. There was now one in the tube and seven in the mag. Then he repeated the process with his other .45 and placed it in his shoulder holster, and the other in the rear of back holster. Three extra mags for each weapon gave him which gave him 58 rounds total. Small hand held phaser, check. He placed that in a hip pouch for easy access. Then he reached down and picked up his Tanto. He clipped the tactical holster to his belt and placed the knife back in the sheath. A Bag of Beef Jerky, check. Placed the bag in his shirt pocket and grabbed his od green fatigue jacket put it on and turned and headed for the door. He already had his comfortable walking boots and black cargo pants on already. He turned into the corridor and headed for the briefing room.

On the Bridge, Draven continued to monitor comms and the coming and going of different craft. Most we small shuttle like craft, a few were pirate vessels, Dagger, Hawk, and Ju'day types. Something seemed off to him about the number of ships coming in and out of the system but he couldn't put his finger on it or see any pattern.

"Commodore, if Mister Stronbridge and his team are ready, I suggest we tuck behind Nimbus III's furthest moon for their departure, then ease back to high synchronize orbit above their landing site to monitor." Draven advised.

Lee looked up from the padd he was reading that the yeoman had brought him "I agree there Commander." He tapped the comm "Pike to Stonebridge."

"Stonebridge here sir."

"Yes Lieutenant, are you and your team ready to go?"

"Yes sir, I was going to meet with the rest in briefing room to discuss how we would deploy and over watch." Replied Stonebridge

"You have 30 minutes to take care of all of that Lieutenant. Pike out." Lee closed the channel, he then looked back up "Move us to the furthest moon."

Stonebridge made it to the briefing room and waited for the rest of the team. As someone who had worked undercover before helping catch criminals on earth near and around Starfleet, he wanted to make sure they were all on the same sheet of paper if you will or in this case all working from the same hymn book.
So he waited.

As the last member of the team made it to the briefing room, Stonebridge spoke up.

"Okay, we have obviously made it here and are in orbit. Here is the plan. Myself and Jones will beam down and split up. We will stay in contact via the comms. We will attempt to gather useful Intel on the where a outs of our target. Once we have what we need, I will contact the Luna with that data. After they have varified that Intel, me and Jones will position ourselves to either grab the target or assist the rest of the Luna crew in grabbing the target, which ever is a more viable option. Any questions? " Asked Stonebridge

No body said a word. "Okay, Jones (NPC) is going to the surface with me, so if there's nothing else, we are heading to the transporter room. " Replied Stonebridge as he and Jones (NPC) stood and headed out.

As they reached the transporter pad, they adjusted their gear loaded weapons and instructed the engineer to engage the transporter. Stonebridge has chosen a spot just outside of town that would give them good cover and concealment for the beam in.

"Ok chief, transport." And within seconds they were gone.



Chief White sat inside the cockpit of the Assimilated Peregrine Borg vessel for Commodore Pike. He had yet to plug into the alcove wanting to make sure Lee was on board and they went over the mission before departing.

Lee stood up turned looking over at Alex and gave her a small smile "The Luna is your's, time for me to head off to capture that PetaQ." He then headed for the turbo lift.
