DAY 49 (sun) continued ...

Ensign Kirk spent some time trawling through the information the shuttle computer was gathering from
the radio traffic on the planet then he and Chakotay started getting a plan together.

They decided to put the runabout in a halfway point geo-static orbit so it could respond to either of
them in about five minutes flight time.

(Engineering note : Maximum  transporter range was about 40,000 kilometres on starships
so on 20,000km on runabouts. The planet diameter is 12,000km diameter, so four minutes (or so) to
get from mid point to transporter range.)

Next Kirk replicated some fake identity papers in the name of 'Tanso Billato' a man from a southern
region of Kalto, namely Pamplehot.

He also took with him 50,000 MKD in assorted bills and a photo of Sanner Tyle, a replicated 9mm pistol,
a backpack, civilian clothes (business suit) and a military uniform (medic / private).
Also, three sets of papers, the microfilm, his communicator and a map and compass.

He also arranged for more money and papers to be stored on the shuttle in case of urgent need.

And so the mission began, Chakotay beaming him down to a quiet forest area. Using the map and compass
Kirk headed to the nearest village where he took a bus to the capital. He had to ask for directions
though as he was unable to read the signpost and bus timetable.

He also noticed that everyone else was blonde in this region se before boarding purchased some hair
dye.

On the bus to Jike he talked to a young lady (named Yulia) that had sat beside him. She told him she was a
contractor for the military. Making conversation, and trying out his cover story, he told her he was a
tourist from the south.
She kindly looked over his papers and seemed to think they were ok, but that he lacked authorisation for
travel.

She also told him, if he managed to make it into the city, she could be met at the 'The Hungry Lion Inn
and Eatery' in the city centre.

At the outer check point to Jike Kirk hit his first snag. Him and two others were taken off the bus and
into a small office.

The first young man was told to go away since his travel visa was out of date. The second was travelling
on forged papers and once the guards had beaten him up a bit he was taken away to the 'Ministry of Information'.

Next it was Kirk's turn, 'I'm sight seeing...' he explained.

His story didn't really work, but a nice fat bribe did and he was put back on the bus with a three day
travel pass.

'Those papers must have cost a hefty bribe!' exclaimed Yulia as he re-took his seat.
'I'm comfortably well off' he explained.

So, he made it through inner check point where his travel papers were looked over one again but found
to be in good order by a 'Major Sherpa'.

Finally the bus terminated in the city centre and he went to the 'Hungry Lion' to get some food.

It had all went very well so far, but now Ensign Kirk made a fatal mistake and went to the final check
point between him and Zone 1 (The Administration District) and talked to a Lt Colonel about gaining
access.

This ended up with him being bundled into a truck and sent to the M.O.I to be interrogated by a female
soldier called Major Jets.

She took his microfilm, gun, ammo and all other possession and left him to stew in the interrogation room
until 7pm. Kirk noted that a camera was constantly watching him.
   
At 8pm a guard brought him a sandwich.

At midnight Major Jets returned.

DAY 50 (mon)

Major Jets began by asking about the Polaric Energy accident on the Romulan Moon that was detailed in the
microfilm.

To prove his story Kirk ordered the shuttle to come to his position and beam down a pack of money.
'You're an alien!', gasped Jets.

She then left to discuss matters with her superiors.

At 2am she returned with an elderly man in uniform known as General Jenid.

When told to 'Do it again.', he had the shuttle beam him out saying,
'Ill be back when you are more friendly.'

Next he beamed down a communicator to the interrogation room and returned the shuttle to its middle
position. He then ate and slept.

At 7 am he made contact and finally was talking to Dr Eria Rokot, a name on his list of people that should
get the information he had and Director of Polaric Ion Energy Board.

(Info insert:
Dr Eria Rokot - Female, 53, Director of Polaric Ion Energy Board.
One of Kalto's top physicists and a powerful member of the National Council.
Lives in a heavily guarded house in Zone 12, Jike.
She has no family.)

She said, 'I find this hard to swallow.'
So Kirk told her to take the communicator and he would beam her up to his spaceship.


However, what he got was a burly guard with a gun! So he beamed him back down again as fast as he could.

Kirk tried to talk some sense into the Kaltonian's, but they are a distrustful and suspicious people. He
checked the clock. T-39 hours until the 'event'.

In the end Major Jets volunteered to come up to the Aeroshuttle and was beamed on board. She immediately
threatened Kirk with a gun and when he didn't put up his hands she shot him twice.

He then quickly used a console to erect a forcefield around her. Seeing that she was caught she gave him
a nervous look and pulled a grenade from her pocket and pulled the pin...

Kirk beamed the grenade back to the co-ordinates of the com-badge in the interrogation room and then a minute
later he did the same with Major Jets.

He then teleported up the comms-badge. 'Dammit!', he sighed.

He then went over to Chakotay's side of the planet and reported in.
'How is the mission going?', asked Chakotay.
'Well...', replied Kirk.

It was T -36 to Destruction.
