Captain Olivera and Lieutenant Kader were in charge of selecting a target for their Heist. Captain Olivera contemplated the value of lying in wait in the Azure Nebula, obscured by the natural phenomena, while Lt. Kader suggested a daring target for them. An Atraxia-class Warship. Large and powerful, yes, but without an escort to harry the ''Desdemona'' if things went south. Knowing that the CIC ''Othello'' - one of Olivera's previous postings - was in the area, they contacted the vessel for their latest scans of the Atraxia's patrol route, hopeful that these scans could aid them in plotting a good approach vector for the incoming heist. | Captain Olivera and Lieutenant Kader were in charge of selecting a target for their Heist.

Within an hour, Colonel Thera MGia of the CIC ''Othello'', an old flame of the Human Captain, appears on a safe comm-link and agrees to share their sensor logs with the ''Desdemona'' to better their chances of success. The information, however, concerns 2nd Lt. Kader: The ''Othello'' is in their mission area, and is moving far slower than its max speed. If it comes to a firefight with the Atraxia vessel, it is very likely that the ''Othello'' - and Colonel MGia - will be caught in the crossfire... | ||

[[Harry Sato|Sato]], Savel and Dakora examined holographic displays of Shint Warships, trying to find out how to breach the vessels. While initially considering breaching through the sensitive sensor array - thus achieving both entry and a blinding of the vessel, they also considered disabling the ship weapons, to give the ''Desdemona'' more leeway. Colonel MacKenzie urged for simplicity, focusing on the likely success of the infiltration team, which focused the following planning. Using some of the scans that [[Didrik Stennes (alternate)|Major Stennes]] had been able to steal away with, it was likely that they would be able to create 'sensor echoes' of the shuttle, hopefully confusing the Shint sensors for long enough to allow the shuttle's approach. | [[Harry Sato|Sato]], Savel and Dakora examined holographic displays of Shint Warships, trying to find out how to breach the vessels.

<br>Through brainstorming, the team arrives at a plan for the Heist Team Shuttle to feign at being a group of deserters, shot dead by the Desdemona. Then, while the enemy ship is distracted by the larger threat, the 'inert' shuttle can quietly drift closer, steal the Prismagons and get out of there. A risky plan, but one that might just be insane enough to work. The battleworn [[Didrik Stennes (alternate)|Major Stennes]] still seems out of sorts though, and as he walks to the replicator to steel himself alongside [[Harry Sato|the Counselor]], his recurring nightmares nag at him. Who is the mysterious figure he sees every night, and what will happen when he's finally able to grab the extended hand? | |||
