They waited the 5 extra minutes. The decision was a good one, because they
started to discuss plans to make a hit on Starfleet's CinC....
Charles changed the topic from the launch bay to... "I also want to start
thinking about hitting some high up people. People with close ties to the Venasians.
They are traitors. Dealing with those Venasian back stabbers. The only way to
permenantly put a wedge between us so the Venasians can really get what the deserve is
to kill those that support them."
"What are we talking about here... Assassinations? Who are you thinking about,
Charles?" Edwards asks trying to pull out this last little tid bit.
"Why the main drum beater himself... Admiral Samuel Lasiter. He is one of their
beggest supporters and most public friends. He must go. Pony likes the idea. In
fact he likes the idea so much that he wants us to make up a plan for it using the
Venasian explosives that we have. It would look like another assassination attempt by
the Cardies if anything were to be found out. The shock waves that it would send
through the Federation and the Venasian government would be huge." Charles was getting
excited about the idea of taking out Lasiter. His voice and body language gave it
away...
The reactions from the croonies that were there were shocking. They love the idea
more than Charles, and whomever this Pony being was.
Charles calmed everyone down.. "Easy now... we have to havew a plan. Using the
water folk's explosive to hit ops is the first step. That should knock enough out to
allow us free movement and an undectected escape. We could beam in and take out
Lasiter no matter where he happens to be on the station."
"What about his security detail?" Edwards asks.
"One of our friends here will get on his detail. That will give us an insight into
his itinerary and security arrangments. Plus some one will be able to take out a
guard or two in the confusion while we beam in."
"Sounds like this has been on your mind for a while, Charles." replied on of the
thugs.
"Yes, it has....."
