When the search of thw ship is done, Kai gathers his team and goes the  th e topkick and says.."We need to trace where those signals in my report were sent to, l got skin in the game, so when its time to go ..tactical...please make sure you dont forget the "Naunghty Boyz."

Finishing the security sweep the Seal Team reports back to the Master at Arms of the Ship with their findings and turns in their preliminary report.  In the follow up, the XO has the team post up in three locations while they have everyone, your team included, do an actual strip search/blood test.  While this is going on, the research team on the ship is going over your findings.  Once your team has been cleared and enough of the security people are cleared to perform the inspections themselves the XO calls you to the Bridge.  [Language unknown: “Oer ho ce siwh alce Trofosllol potame o ro venamewitrea.

They update your wrist computers (modern Pip-boy device) with the location info.  NCIS agent Niles Garret will be meeting you on site with his team.

He nods,. "Transport will be here in 20."

The brig is standard affair.  When you arrive you see one of the Sergeants chained to the desk.  A moment of alarm then the creature's skin sloughs off revealing the creature you tangled with earlier.  The creature is handcuffed and chained to a table.  It doesn't appear to be any stronger than a normal person.  It's humanoid in shape, roughly 6' tall when standing but not as "thick" as a human would be. Their arms, hands and legs are more gangly.  The torso is skinnier and more round.  The head is on a long neck.  Longer pointed ears.  Almost no nose, small mouth and red-eye slits.  They do have hair but it's minimal.

In reply to Purveyor of Destiny (msg # 27):

I spend the isp for mimic skills and take its language, and its literacy so I can read its words..and write some of the symbols down, but otherwise Kai says nothing.. just stares at it..

In reply to Kai Roberts (msg # 28):

the creature stares blankly as you enter.  When you begin to write and put numbers down you can tell it takes interest in you, eyeballing you intently.  It then smiles, it's teeth pointy but straight and clean.  It then rearranges your letters to form the word "doom".  As you watch it then begins to shapechange, it's body and skin sloughing off and morphing until you are staring at yourself cuffed to the table.

Kai gets up and leaves, he then goes to the man in charge with his notepad,  "This is their language, and alphabet, and there number system, may help us suss out other things about them, and knowing a few words. like the ones I wrote down might come in handy.. lets get these to the crypto boyz, might help know how a group moves, know how they talk, and well..you know the group.. "  he hands it over and stands ready to be dismissed.. when he is, he and his boys draw from the armory..

All have the M-160. and an M-2011 set for Sdc   except the Pigman who has a LAWS..(P.116 Rifts Underseas) , they have secure coms, and Combat Armor, ( page 118 rifts Underseas)

Gearing up and heading out the team arrives a block from the location identified in the intercepts and meets up with the NCIS agent and his team.  They are geared for a tactical response, only slightly less heavily armed than your team. He offers to shake hands.  [Language unknown: "As whst ec Ineweroretioast Oneprorom, Caio Ntihatnce Pemoll Astwerfor Enchnt. One larwhiant ave sita ta po hoit ie trun mone k tr sonoutandameion os at onsamedinred thi itll notmanhouven ardstiametin te we te ard ndedaysti. Preureund nd o ardha miin m u tin iswh it loth."] You proceed on foot the final half block.

The building is a 4 story office building with an attached parking garage that's only two stories tall. There is a small mall out front for employees to relax with a fountain and some benches. The main entrance faces south with two large glass doors for a main entrance. There is a personnel entrance at the rear to the alley. The garage to the east also has a double door personnel entrance as well as a small loading dock for box trucks. To the west is a small yard with trees lining the boulevard then a side walk. Across the street is additional public employee parking.  Behind the facility is an alley that goes the length of the block. Across the alley are the backside of some local restaurants and small café’s the locals use for the lunch hour.  Your team is given the full layout of the facilty on the inside.  Mostly offices on each floor.  There is a community lunch room on the 2nd floor, open balcony on the roof with views of the ocean (elevator from lunch room to balcony overlook where people take lunch).  Building is currently leased to Waylon Enterprises and they sublet to multiple companies.  The basement level contains the boilers and furnace/HVAC equipment.  To activate the tracker, you'll need to get your computer tap into the server room on the second floor.  From there it will take 30 seconds to a minute to track the signals source.

Kai Takes stock of the situation...

10:34, Today: Kai Roberts rolled 2 using 1d100.  Sensory Equipment @ 77%.

10:33, Today: Kai Roberts rolled 39 using 1d100.  Intelligence @ 64%.

10:33, Today: Kai Roberts rolled 33 using 1d100.  detect ambush @ 72%.

" You NCIS boys are trained in all that UC, so you send in a "computer repair" team to do some work on the server.. they put in the bug, then when the get out.. scanner comes on, and we get the signal.. go in heavy and lightly armored,  we move big, goin in all guns blazing, we get civvies killed, not the goal.. we have to find our objective before we go hot.., get me?"

Agent Garret Nods.  [Language unknown: "Iond niven e oleshoai n evom"] He points across the field to a group  of three entering the facility now dressed as corporate maintenance workers.

You are able to gain access to the security feed. There are 120 people currently working in the facility. The server room is on the second floor. NCIS is able to set up a quick backstop for their team to check the servers. You know that any of the entrances would be good ambush points as is the server room.  However you are unable to determine immediately who in the facility is the one you are looking for.

The moments pass by tensely as they enter the facilty.  You are able to track them as they enter and head up to the second floor and gain access to the server room.  No eyes in the server room.  [Private to group NEMA Secure: "We're in, accessing the servers now...got it, on our way out."] Your watches all flip to a countdown timer. At 45 seconds it flips on and says "Tracking"...

Third floor, fourth office, 2nd computer.  Your maps populate with a photo of a standard office.  One reception desk, three small offices in the back. the computer pinpoints to the second computer in the office on the right. The space is leased to a Florida Charter LLC.  They supposedly charter small fishing boats.

The team exits the facility.

In reply to Purveyor of Destiny (msg # 33):

" Get a drone up in the air on the outside of that window.. pop in to grenades thru the window to gas the room,  get my team up on the roof when we are ready to breach on my go, lob em in, then we go in, gas everyone and sort em out later..you got it team..anyone resists, for any reason..we take them out.. anyone acts funny, anyone questions anything we take em down soft..NCIS arrest everyone, we will sort them out and keep them separate, they stay sedated and gassed, we will decide what is what later.. questions?"

Everyone nods affirmative with no questions.  The team suits up and use the external access to the building to reach the room. A few minutes later the drone is over head.  There are three main windows.  They'll have to break the window to get the gas inside, slightly tricky without a small explosive on it.  Once everyone is in place, the teams are ready.

The glass shattering causes screams and hysteria which gets worse when it's followed by more glass shattering and several armed individuals in tactical gear storming the room.  Everyone panics as some run or try to while some freeze and some just hit the floor as they're commanded to. All the while coughing and hacking in the tear gas and smoke.

While your team storms the building here,newly arrived NCIS teams enter through the front and man all entrances to prevent runners while commanding everyone away from their computers.

Roll initiative.

In reply to Kai Roberts (msg # 37):

Only one person is actually able to put up any fight but he's put down easily by the team. the right hook he gives shows he probably had some boxing training at some point. Securing the room you quarantine the computer.  The NCIS tech expert shows up.  [Language unknown: "Teres at eraderate powaic fi icho, unin a ho yinoerdinred." ] he starts to work a as the computer is already open, loading a program to begin scanning the computer.  He pulls up a program running in the background masked under the antivirus software. [Language unknown: "as k romev plas..."] the technician mutters.  The code streams down the screen instead of across it (like i the matrix).  When he opens it and the details come out, it shows full technical details of of the ship as well as patrol routes, carrier flight times, maintenance times.  Everything the XO's Yeoman would have had access to in order to infiltrate the ship and pose as an imposter.  He starts running a trace. [Language unknown: "Ckes ulofho m ee o whesanthu, nd thion meolchce sedi, sahat iousonoul n ect n P himi encoerund to vor..."]  A commotion can be heard outside as a squad of suits enters the building unannounced. More can be seen outside arguing with the NCIS officers. "Trouble...Feds" is all you get from Garret as you can hear him discussing heatedly with a suit outside the room. The tech is whistling softly as yous ee the tracing program work....you see three warehouses locally and a signal bouncing until ti settles in Hanover, Germany. [Language unknown: "peevin ng lo, ioutinure onousa e pr ilsa." ]   A suit walks through the door. [Private to group English: "Everyone stop what you are doing.  The CIA is now taking over this case.  You never saw anything, you never heard anything. You will all disarm and go with our agents for debriefing.]  The tech taps a button and his program ends, the compute returning to it's home screen as he stands up.

Make an intelligence check...1D20 vs your IQ score on the ME table as a bonus.  With your teams guns all trained on them, the man moves very slowly and provides CIA credentials. "Like I said, disarm yourselves and proceed outside with my team so we can take you in for debriefing."

When the power faded, so did the knowledge of the language and Kai is unable to recall it.  As the agent pulls out his badge your com crackles to life with a voice that sounds ominous (Sounds like Optimus prime).  In the background you can hear chatter that sounds like a CIC or command post. The authorization code given is your most current bug out code.  [Language unknown: "Ersewama, llriac, entteriveartastshe Mehaos, isla ble eenstrourardwhi, estestbutout e dinhouave, tatesa beerloha p caalil. Astdi butovende erawerstrvor."] your wrist computer opens up with a "Top Secret, Sigma 9--Section 47 eyes only" (Above top secret) listing but it opens up for you.  It's a dossier and pulls up several photos. First a debrief of the creature in custody, and photos of known P.A.A double agent operatives.  While not the guy you are talking to, three of the others in his contingent are...if this intel is legit. You are pretty sure none of your team heard any of that because none of them reacted.

Kai nods and walks right past the CIA AGENT..   He pops onto his secure line  and tells his boys to pick up anything that will fit in their packs,  and bug out, past all the agents and regrouping with the NCIS, and bouncing out, anyone who tries to stop them take em down..

In reply to Kai Roberts (msg # 44):

Guns still on the CIA agents, Kai and his begin their extraction.  Motioning for the NCIS agent to gather up his things, Kai eyes the CIA suit and his team slowly begin to move out.  Taking the Queue, Agent Garret motions for his team to exit as well.  The CIA agent motions for his people to stand down, clearly outgunned, they would not win a firefight. [Language unknown: "Anywheyin relar ioort at ter houurestaromand"] he bellows as your team extracts the building and loads up in to your vehicles.

After they break away.. Kai and his team roll out, they get back to his superiors just like he was supposed to, and has the boys  unbag all the intel  he lets his guys know he will take all the heat for this, but there is no way he was going to let them take the loss for the mission that just went all kinds of south of good.. he sits outside the Admiral's office at the crack of dawn the next day, ready to resign  before taking his troops down with him for following his call..
