ON

After Kronnelti squares away his jitters he steps outside out of view of the Romulan ship. He finds a tree just behind the landing shuttle and climbs up it to have a vantage point, Kronnelti pulls out his binoculars and can now see Bravo team getting into place as well as Squeazal returning. Kronnelti taps his comm and hails the Capt, "Bravo team is almost at check point Charlie" says the Ensign then taps the comm again to end the communication. While in the highest part of the tree Kronnelti says to himself "Qapla' yIyaj!!"

Shortly after several moments go by and Kronnelti climbs down the tree He stops just at the base of it as something is different. Kronnelti pauses as he looks around but doesn't see anything but the cloaked ship but the smell is off. He slowly let's himself down planting his feet softly as not to alert anything or anyone near by, he looks around once more and the sent is coming from behind him and the shuttle. Kronnelti slowly pulls his dagger and quietly walks to another tree that is slightly wider than the one he was in cautiously checks his breathing not to be loud, once he gets his back up against it the smell is very strong as he turns the corner to find a Romulan scout not paying attention. Kronnelti thinks to himself I hope this thing didn't intercept my transmission. As doing so he wraps his hand around the Rom's mouth driving the dagger into its chest taking it out in one quick motion, once he knew the Rom was gone he picked it up over his shoulder and brings him to the Capt and others in alpha then drops it right in front of the Capt and says "Look what I found, a scout"

Coming to their last holding point, Commander Pibb held up one hand and Bravo Team slowed as a group, Cadet Wu and a security officer trailing behind Pibb, being the only two showing any real stress from the run. The rest rested and kept watch while doing so. Wright waited until he sighted Alpha team where they should be, and jogged down to Pibb. "Commander, I want to know everything these Romulans have been up to, and I have the knowledge and means to do so. If mission parameters allow, I'd like to take Collier and Chip to access their computer core, copy as much as time allows, and guarantee this ship doesn't report back, achieved at least 4 ways off the top of my head."

"I enjoy the enthusiasm Lieutenant, but we are going to be going into the ship at the same time. However, we will provide support and cover for you. You won't have too much time to find out everything on their systems, but you will have until we retrieve the target." Pibb smiled at the man, hoping that the small warmth from his smile would keep the man at ease.

"Understood Sir, I'll get everything I can while we're in there, but no risk of permanent separation." replied Wright, nodding to Pibb, a small smile of excitement appearing on his face. Pibb of course, could "read" as plainly as another could see, that Wright was excited for his first combat. He then started making the rounds and doing gear checks, making sure nothing was lost or damaged on the trail.

Everyone settled in, watching and waiting for their time, Wu having started shaking a little again.

"Steady Wu... steady." Wright said, doing his best to calm down the lower officer.

Captain Winters was half leaning on the rock as he watched the cloaking field in front of him. The warmth of the rock felt nice on his chest. It was a comforting feeling and kept his calm about him. He looked back at the body of the scout that Ensign Kronnelti had dropped behind him. His eyes looked over the uniform. "Tal Shiar alright, but not any normal section that I am aware of. These must be from another rogue section of the group." he thought to himself as he chuckled. The thought of a rogue group, within a rogue group of an intelligence agency was both far too many layers to a problem, and almost redundant. It was not surprising that the Romulans had trouble accomplishing too much with all the in fighting that must have been going on.
His head snapped back forward, out of the corner of his eye he saw two figures emerge through the field. Guards, and doing a perimeter sweep. Were they aware of the Starfleet Officers, or was this just a standard patrol. There was no way to really know as their time at the ship had been short, and it was impossible for them to make any sort of judgment based on the small time they had been observing their target. Very slowly and casually, Winters hands reached behind him and drew his weapon from over his shoulder. He placed it in a small groove on the rock to give himself a little extra stability. Another gust of wind came up and the dirt and grit blew over the valley. Winters eyes blinked as he maintained his vision on the two guards.

Standing behind Winters and having noticed the two coming out of the cloaked ship, Kronnelti silently watches them....Kronnelti leans over and whispers "do you think they know we are here or are these Romulans that dumb?" to Winters after seeing him ready his weapon. Hope these two don't spot the others Kronnelti says.
