Grimes gave the go ahead for the teams to move in. All three tactical teams (made up of 7 people each) moved in with their weapons drawn.
Grimes and Audra follow a few steps behind the tactical team with them... After cutting off exits/entrances they moved in. The group was surrounded, and the fun began. A few decided to resist, and they got shot. Stun setting of course. They dropped like flies... Those that were smart enough *not* to resist were just pinned to walls while they were frisked and restraints (cuffs) were put on. Edwards and Charles were both pinned to the ground with guns to their heads. The teams knew that Edwards was thier informant, but wanted to keep his involvement secret for as long as possible. He would be taken to a cell, and released a while later when things died down... "All of you are under arrest by Federation Marshalls and Starfleet. You will be detained in a Starfleet brig until areignment. Deputy, read these folks their rights. We will call for transport once they are fully secured." Grimes said to all there. It took a moment for Audra to realize that Grimes was talking to her. It was probably the first time that she had been referred to by that title. She looked toward those being arrested. "You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer any questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. As we discuss this matter, you have a right to stop answering my questions at any time you desire. You have a right to a lawyer before speaking to me, to remain silent until you can talk to him/her, and to have him/her present when you are being questioned. If you want a lawyer but cannot afford one, one will be provided to you without cost. Do you understand each of these rights I have explained to you? Now that I have advised you of your rights, is there anything you would like to share with us about what is going on? " Charles yelled to everyone, "No one talk. Wait until the lawyers get there. If any of you talk, I will kill you..." He got cut off by a Marshall... "HEY!, you have the right to be silent. Use it." he said tapping his finger on the man's head with each word. Grimes with a slight smile ordered Charles and Edwards taken to holding. Hoping with the leader gone, and their source taken to a safe place, that the others would be willing to talk here. As the Feds took Charles, Edwards, and the stunned resistors to the brig the questioning could start. At first it looked as if no one would say a thing. But then one guy started to mumble something. He got cut off by another who repeated Charles' threat. Grimes had the loud mouth and others taken to the brig. That left a hand full of security folks and a thug with something to say. He slowly began to talk.. "We... We... We are trying to effect change...." Grimes could only look at Firehawk with an amazed expression... 'is he serious' was what he was trying to convey. Audra had to admit that it sounded like a line from an old movie ... a really bad one. She figured she would take the line and try to reel him in. "What kind of change?" (response) AJ
