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?"
