DAY 83 (thu) ...

While they thought up the plan, Kirk replicated some anti-rad tablets to take while they were exposed to
the light of Rivo on the Babi Ijo planet.

Step one of the plan was to get a specially prepared suitcase (full of EMP grenades) into the bank.

The port authority was personified in the form of Mr Rind who had heard of these pleasant alien visitors that
threw around diamonds like confetti and he arranged a driver for them, Mr Lardy Scratchings. Mioen was
taken to the bank where she met Mr Trotter the bank manager.
She got her first look at a typical Babi Ijo town on her way in from the space port. It was dirty
and covered in refuse. Litter was piled up in heaps on the sides of all the buildings and was pressed
down into the road by the wheels of the massive road vehicles. She was glad of the mask she was wearing
as the stench was terrible.

The bank manager was delighted to see Mieon and take her business and arranged a safety deposit box.
However the suitcase set off the safety alarms as it went into the vault. Still, even this was dealt
with by large bribes and the alarms were put down to the case being made from 'Strange Alien Material.'

Meanwhile Kirk was outside 'casing the joint' and searching for where the forcefield cables came into
the bank with his Tricorder. He located them, 20 feet underground and followed them along for a building
or two.

As he did this though his attention was drawn to across the wide litter filled street where someone was waving at
him from the window of a restaurant that served tacos.

He crossed over and the alien in the window and saw it was of a species he didn't recognise. It pantomimed to
Kirk something that he thought meant 'Please come in and eat me.'

Confused he entered the restaurant. The manager spotted him and bowing and scraping before this rich
looking alien he said, 'Are you interested in our special sir?'

Kirk nodded and handed over a diamond. The manager had no idea what a real diamond looked like, but once
it was assessed by the bank staff across the road he was happy to sell the alien in the window to Kirk
along with six Burung Mera that were unhappily being kept alive for eating later.

All of them were taken along to the spaceport in a Butcher's van and boarded the Aeroshuttle. The alien
that hey had rescued was called Endrol, he was from a 'lost tribe' of Kreetassan. The Kreetassan were a well
established Alpha Quadrant species, but somehow some of them were here also in the Delta Quadrant. Endrol
was a surgeon on his planet, and due to some bad luck while travelling by space had ended up on the menu
in the Rivo system.

Kirk was still working on his plan and the next step was to transport a shaped charge of explosives onto
the cables that ran underground to the bank which powered the forcefield.

This he did. Back at the AS, they then waited for the EMPs to go off in the bank.

At the correct time they did indeed go off and knocked out the forcefield around the bank. However this had the
unforeseen effect of putting up forcefields across other areas of the town as an emergency response.
This included the space port.

Kirk contacted Mr Rind and demanded they be allowed to leave the port.
Mr Rind said he wished he could but that, 'I'm sorry! It's out of my hands now, this is a military matter! You
can talk to the army when they get here in about 5 to 10 minutes.'

Kirk didn't like the sound of that, so using the shuttle's sensors he located the shield generator room in the
spaceport terminal and teleported two EMP grenades into the room it was in. Somehow though they didn't make it
and were deflected into another area.

It was decided then, that the direct approach was the best, so Kirk, Mieon and Endrol armed up and headed toward
the terminal. With weapons set to stun they had a blazing fire fight with several security bots, a squad of Babi
Ijo spaceport security guards and just about every passenger in the terminal.
All Babi Ijo's carry weapons. At the departure gate they passed through to get to the generator room they were
even attacked by a family of children with pistols, stun batons and tasers. During the fight Endrol was knocked
unconscious when a Babi Ijo child whacked him over the head with a stun baton.

Kirk and Mieon gunned down two more security bots in the lounge then finished off the last of the passengers.
They then did their best to revive Endrol, but once he was conscious he looked after himself, being a much better
physician than the other two.

Stepping over the sleeping bodies and reloading they headed toward the generator room at the other side of the
departure lounge.
