In order to blend in, alternative names, personas, clothes and weapons were needed, and each of the crew descending down to the surface constructed something to reference as a reason for being on the asteroid in the first place. Gathering in the shuttle bay, the crew readied and equipped themselves onto three shuttles, prepped to deposit each team at their required location, and lie in wait with support staff, just in case.

In order to blend in, alternative names, personas, clothes and weapons were needed, and each of the crew descending down to the surface constructed something to reference as a reason for being on the asteroid in the first place. Gathering in the shuttle bay, the crew readied and equipped themselves onto three shuttles, prepped to deposit each team at their required location, and lie in wait with support staff, just in case.


Descending down, the three teams split into different parts of the asteroid, each taking the route required of their task.


[[Jocelyn Marshall|Marshall]], [[Groznin Smith|Smith]] and [[Corliss Fortune|Fortune]] head for the residential district among the heady heights of '''The Slims''', where shanty-style homes were packed on top of one another in the cramped space afforded to residency on the asteroid. Stopped at first by a port official<ref name="Port:Andorian">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/eGOrRTRxeb8/WfMOJxkYBgAJ Lieutenant JG Corliss Fortune - Marisol's Time To Shine]</ref>  at '''New Providence Port''', where '''Crewman Jackson''' remained behind with their method off the asteroid, they called for backup in the form of [[Caitríona Cayne|Cayne]] from the shuttlecraft. Breaking into their task saw the team boarding the transport network that ran a ring around the asteroid itself, stopping at various points along the way. Hampered immediately by an Orion named '''Theeda''' pickpocketing them, she led the team on a merry dance through the '''Yamacraw''' warehouse district, culminating in a request to steal a [[Risian#Horga'hn|Horga'hn]] from a nearby bar owner and the stabbing of [[Jocelyn Marshall|Marshall]]<ref name="Marshall:Stabbing">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/OqqS4-BXw5k/RHvGjlm7BQAJ Ensign Caitríona Cayne - You Monster]</ref> for kicks. Taking their small fortunes that it could've been much worse, the team book it for the '''Habitation District''' and hopefully as far away from the Orion as they could get.


''Meanwhile, back on the Gorkon'', [[Tasha MacFarlane|MacFarlane]] and [[Harrison Ross|Ross]] began discussing ways and means of getting around the fact that they were a Starfleet vessel operating in non-Starfleet waters, needing to look the part of something else entirely. Coming up with a stroke of genius, [[Tasha MacFarlane|MacFarlane]] engineered a holographic program that would take the appearance of each bridge member, turning them into a species the [[Orion Syndicate]] would not find outstanding in their ranks, alongside clothing and decorations to match.<ref name="Gorkon:Disguise1">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/0rz0bxtZsng/fWo69N1_BwAJ Lieutenant Tasha MacFarlane - Putting on the disguise]</ref> [[Quinn Reynolds|Reynolds]] became a Jelna captain running under the name Col Bhoda, while [[Tasha MacFarlane|MacFarlane]] was to become a Cardassian named Kaeleirah Zheeca, [[Harrison Ross|Ross]] would maintain the appearance of human becoming one Jack Rackham, and Chris with his shaved head would stay as the lowly human communicator they likely traded beans for on a colony world.<ref name="Gorkon:Disguise">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/1QlypfsDCBw/lko7hCsJBAAJ Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds - A Quinn, Enthroned]</ref>
Bringing the team in as close as possible to the '''Service District''', [[L'rann]] was to remain with the shuttlecraft as [[Trellis Vondaryan|Vondaryan]], [[Ayiana Sevo|Sevo]] and [[Tali Namura|Namura]] made the first steps towards their task. Heading into a resteraunt known as '''Ugami's'''<ref name="Vondaryan:Ugamis">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/L0i_lIVrVyI/xx81sjdkBwAJ Lt Commander Trellis Vondaryan -- Lay of the Land]</ref>, the team soon found themselves trying to get the attention of a local suspected crime boss by acting out a cheated dice game. The owner, an older Bajoran male by the name of '''Volku''' offered the team a helping hand — he could get them into the '''Service District''', past the first security light wall and into the main compound if they agreed to retrieve a list of seemingly inconsequential value.<ref name="Vondaryan:Offer">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/26hDH1zWhPg/Ekck_jeBBQAJ Ensign Tali Namura - An Offer Extended]</ref> The team accepted.
''Meanwhile, on the [[Labyrinth's Scream]]'', disembarking from [[Lena Josett|Josett]]'s Klingonised shuttlepod<ref name="Thertas:Meeting">[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/q8PUBuv1H5w/8EaSsvh1CAAJ JP: Marshall, Sienelis & Josett - The Labyrinth's Scream (Part I)], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/YADVKFV8dso/zVyhr6QcBgAJ (Part II)], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/8iC0SCJwFCM/Elct1gt2CAAJ Part III)], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-gorkon/0jGAg3JS0OQ/DtutXrkcBgAJ (Part IV)]</ref>, [[Valesha Sienelis|Sienlis]] and [[Orson "Bear" Marshall|Bear Marshall]] were introduced to [[Labyrinth's Scream/Crew|Thertas]]. The Andorian reacted to finding out who they were by drawing his ceremonial knife on [[Lena Josett|Josett]]. With questions relating to why he would want to defect to the Federation and give himself over to Starfleet, '''Thertas''' informed them that a '''Courier''' on board would be carrying something they would likely need. Conceding the point, the three retired to the Passenger Suite to begin planning their approach to the heist.
