Mission: Deadly Diplomacy
Location: Horus

"Link your systems with the internal sensors. Relay a message to Op's to ensure they know it's you that's jacking in and bring up current locations of all Caitian Officers." Logan said as he tapped onto the console.

[NEW]


"Would you like me to display locations on the holo-display?" Horus replied in his monotone voice.

Remy got off his chair and walked to the rear room of the Delta Flyer. Logan soon followed as they group stepped into what was considered the War Room. Here there were weapons, gadgets, change of clothes, and a table that had a built in holo-projector that they used to show 3D maps and layouts to strategize on tactics for their mission.

She hadn't been invited, but Jayna wasn't going to be left out of this. So, she followed the two into their little man cave.

Logan and Remy took a position at the table, across from each other, as the ships AI brought up a three dimensional projection of the ships layout, highlighting areas where Caitian Officers were currently located.

Logan pointed to the shuttle bay. "That's me, so we can eliminate there."

"Horus? Eliminate Male Caitian Officers, please." Remy said. Several lights on the display faded leaving only a few more. "Now display real time sensor images of the remaining officers."

The image of the Calypso layout shrank and rose as small holographic monitors appears under it displaying real time images of the officers and what they were doing. None of the ones in the monitors looked like the one they were looking for.

The fact that Logan and Remy took up positions on either side of the table without a thought for her made Jayna shake her head. She would have a talk with Horus bout this later.

She walked up to their holo display. "Horus, highlight areas where the internal sensors are blind."

Half a dozen areas of the ship were now highlighted in green. "Now, check internal vids to see if there's been any unusual activity around any of those areas. Anything out of the ordinary, a strange tail, a shadow, anything to indicate that someone is hiding out there."

A thousand images flashed across several displays on the wall. One by one, each display froze on an image. One by one, the green areas turned gray. All but one. Jayna looked at the images on the vid screens. "She's hiding in there," Jayna stated. "Now we need to get her out without causing her to go deeper into hiding."

Logan raised a bit of a brow. "How definite are we on this? How do we know we aren't rushing in to find an Engineering Officer working on something?"

"Jayna?" Remy asked, looking over to her. "How sure are you that our Caitian is in there?"

Jayna went to the viewscreens and indicated the images. "If it was an engineer, we'd see him or her going in and coming out. We don't. Someone is taking care to not be seen. This is enough to show probable location, but if we storm the place, she's got a hundred ways to hide and to get lost in the ship. So we need to get to her and get her out before she has that chance."

"Then whats your evidence, Miss Mira, that our Caitian is in that area?" Remy said, pointing to the image she was pointing to moments ago. "We have one shot at this. If we blow it, than chances are she will get wind that we know she is on board and, you're right, we will lose her. Possibly for good. We need definitive proof."

"Why can't you just trust her? If it was me you would have no problem with it." Logan said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Remy looked to Logan and raised a brow. "Because JAG can't work with evidence from our guts." He gave Logan a hard look before looking back to Jayna and chancing the tone of his voice to a more calmer one. "How certain are you?"

"90 percent," she said. "Logan proved she's not hiding in plain sight. So, she has to be in one of the areas where the scanners don't work. This is the only area that shows any signs that indicate someone is there. So, if she's not there, I have no idea where she's hiding because it's not on the ship."

"Then show me what the signs are that led you to your conclusion." Remy said sternly, looking her deep into her eyes as if he had a bigger concern that figuring out what proof she had.

She tapped the first image on the smaller viewscreen, sending it to the big one. It showed a sliver of a shadow disappearing into the 'dark' area. The next showed something moving in the shadows. The next may have been the tip of a tail, but it moved so quickly it was hard to see, even zoomed in. One was clearly the heel of a boot, again going into the 'dark' area. The last two showed a small box that was there and then it wasn't. "These signs," she said.

Remy looked at the image, narrowing his eyes slightly. It didn't take him long to look back to Jayna and replied. "Works for me. But, you're right. Calling in all cars will certainly alert her to us knowing where she is, as well as for her into deeper hiding, maybe even resulting to drastic measures. We need to get to her quietly so as not to alert her to our presence."

"Let's send the little guy." Logan replied quickly. The comment caused a slight reaction as Remy looked quickly over to his large friend who smirked in return and continued. "No, not you. I mean Spock. Remember the Leash?"

Remy's eyes raised slightly as he smile. "That's right. The Orion Syndicate's hidden lab on the asteroid. Didn't you say it needed more work?"
