About an hour and a half into the tedium the meeting started. Edwards was
there, as planned, and wired. Each of the different teams had monitoring
devices so that all parts of the room, all participants would be covered.
Charles arrived with about 5 others. As they spoke, another group of 7
arrived, bringing the total present to 14, with Edwards.
They talked- they were planning on placing bombs near Ops to disrupt
station Command and Control, which would allow them to set off other
explosives in the ship yards, crew quarters, and ambassadorial section of the
station. This was an ambitious plan, but it's chances of working were pretty
good. Especially considering since half of the attendees wore Starfleet
uniforms. Possibly stolen... but then again Audra recognized a few of them
as maintenance crew, dock workers, and security folk.
Grimes commented, "Looks like a pretty well organized little party. They
look to be a bit more organized than the normal thug group..."
Audra nodded. "Well, considering some of their accomplishments, I am not
completely surprised." She was disappointed to see so many of the station's
personnel involved. "It should be interesting bringing them in."
"That it should be." Grimes admitted.
"How much longer do we wait? We could wait and see what else we get, but
that poses some other risks as well. I would say give them 5 more minutes to
see if anything else is said, but not more than that. However, this is
*your* operation Commander..."
Audra nodded. "I tend to agree with you on this, Grimes. I would rather
take these guys in rather than take the chance that we would lose them."
