The comm in the crew lounge clicks on and Arvitis says, "We've got a delivery van pulling up outside." "How do you want to handle it?" "What sort of delivery van?" Jac asks. "Looks like a standard commercial van." Arvitis says, "Mark Delivery Service is written on the side." Eris AKU GM

Mira looks at Jac, "It could be the clock." She glances at Mazie, gets a slightly embarrassed smile, and looks back at Jac, "Should we go check?" Mira

Jac moves his arm from around the back of the chair Mira is sitting in and says, "Yes, we can do that." He stands and gives his Aunt a short bow, "Excuse us a moment, Aunt Mazie." He holds out his hand to Mira, "Shall we?" Eris AKU GM

Jac looks at Ricardo then Shawn and says, "And I will be careful." After Jac and Mira leave the lounge Jac says, "Not to worry you unduly, because this is probably just your clock being delivered, but it's also possible that this could be some of the folks that kidnapped Lessa's daughter who have tracked her here." He smiles and adds, "I have a pistol in my waistband and I actually know how to use it." Eris AKU GM

She winks, then asks more seriously, "Are you as good with it as I am with mine?" She has her bag, of course. Stop and fish out pistol and tuck it into the back of her slacks, "It'll show, but if things are on the up and up, we can just stand there til the van leaves." Mira

Jac chuckles, "I have one of them, too." > She winks, then asks more seriously, "Are you as good with it as I am > with mine?" "Let's hope we don't have to find out today." he says as he steps away from her and moves his pistol from the waistband at the back of his jacket to one of his jacket pockets. > She has her bag, of course. Stop and fish out pistol and tuck it into > the back of her slacks, "It'll show, but if things are on the up and > up, we can just stand there til the van leaves." "Right." he says as the buzzer sounds indicating some one at the hatch. Glancing at the monitor Jac says, "One man with a package of about the right size and a clipboard." then hits the release button on the inner hatch. "Do you want to do the honors, or should I?" he asks. Eris AKU GM

"Presumably its addressed to me. You can watch my back." She steps forward to greet the delivery person. Mira

You can watch my back." Jac slips his hand into the pocket with the pistol and moves to Mira's side so he has a clear line of sight to the delivery man around her. > She steps forward to greet the delivery person. "Package for a Doctor Hasta-Rur." he says as Mira steps forward, "Sign here." Mira collects the package and signs the paper on the board. "Thanks, Sianna." the delivery man says smiling and nodding before turning away and hurrying down the gangway to the van below he calls over his shoulder, "Have a good day." Jac moves forward keeping an eye on the man until he enters the van and then the van until it drives away. "Looks like it was legit." Jac says driving away. Eris AKU GM

"Some of their actions show subtlety, foresight, planning, and some are just ham handedly crude. The killing of Jim Kramer, planting a bomb and throwing Si Moby off a building are the crude, direct, acts of thugs." he says as he takes the package from Mira and walks with her toward sickbay, "Those acts don't fit with everything else. It's like there are two separate entities working against us, perhaps working in concert, but not exactly together." Eris AKU GM

She considers, "Should we have Arvitis denso it before we take it to medbay?" ooc: I'm assuming her portable med scanner can't do anything useful enough... Mira

"Of course," She replies as she fishes out her portable medscanner, "I'll run this over it for grins and giggles." "Why don't you pop your head in through the lock and suggest that Shawn go to the bridge and send Arvitis down with his densitometer. At least its something we can do before we bring it into the ship." Mira

"Will do." Jac says then as he heads back to the lounge he says to Lysia, "Jez, keep an eye on her for me, okay?" Back in the lounge, Jac says, "It looks like it was a normal delivery, but Mira suggested we have Arvitis use his denistometer on the package." OOC: Okay, long story short...Mira uses her portable medscanner and discovers that there is an object inside the package of about the right size and shape as the clock, but there isn't enough detail to rule out a bomb built to be that shape. Arvitis is more than happy to use his denistometer, and pronounces the contents to be..."a clock". Opening the package will confirm that...the package contains a clock, a quite pretty clock, but other than ticking loudly and having a chime that might be distracting it is a benign object.

Shawn hides his displeasure at having the meeting disrupted and goes to cover the bridge until Arvitis returns. Shawn
