Operation Bird Catcher p8
When the cruiser came out of warp, Jarius, complete with pointed ears and uplifting eyebrows, transferred it to the screen. "Gentlemen, the Star-Fire. Just as soon as she dock and starts off-loading her crew, we can go."
After waiting for three hours, Jarius, Silk, Chiako, and Martin beamed down to the space station and hid in the shadows until the crewmen from the Star-Fire started to appear, then moved. The four, disguised as Romulan technicians, with dark gray tops and blue trousers, easily joined with a small group of men and followed them to a military apartment complex, where they checked in.
"Pardon me, do you have a suite with four rooms available?" Silk inquired, acting like a man who was going to enjoy his time off.
The manager's eyes flicked over the four, memorizing every detail. "From the Star-Fire?"
When Silk nodded, the man replied, "401 is available." He handed them a key. "It's four flights up, first door to the left."
"Thank you, and Jolan Tro." Jarius said, and then followed his friends to their suite.
Once inside the outer room, the four removed their tech uniforms and them with the shoulder sashes and rank pins of secundums. Jarius reached into his duffel and pulled out a pocket computer and hooked it up to the desktop computer.
What came up was a layout of the base with more detail, as it got closer to one of the landing bays. After examining the data, Jarius looked at his companions and began to explain the plan. "According to Slighter, the Valkyre is in docking bay two. There are eight guards between the central dock hub and the docking bay. They are posted in groups of two and are at the exit from the hub, two at the security command post, two at the door to the docking bay, and two outside the Valkyre."
"Four chances to get caught." Silk said, concerned.
Jarius nodded, "You can always call it off." The joke was meant to make Silk think.
"What, and ruin the fun?" Silk said with a grin.
"Well, let's get going." Martin muttered.
