The away team hurried down corridors carved deep into the crust of the red planet.
Hunter pulled out 4 slips of latinum which he had managed not to get confiscated and handed it to Dane. "Find us some lodging."
Teilani nodded and lead the group through the small crowded streets of an underground city. Merchants offering their wares, women flaunting their goods, it seemed to last forever when Teilani pointed to a small green door.
“That is a good place, rooms are small but clean and the food is cheap.� She said.
Hunter nodded. "Alright."
The proprietor insisted they should pay for three rooms. When a price was finally negotiated for the three of them to share one room, the away team was finally were able to sit down.
After bolting the door, Hunter commented on the long ride as he held out his hand. Dane placed in his palm a small cone shaped object she had been wearing as jewelery. When he activated it, it projected a small circular holographic display.
"I can't wait got get some food and a good night's sleep," he said as he refrained to chatter in small talk.
“Me too, “ Carter said as she began to check out the room. “Gosh this dust sits everywhere.�
Next he activated a nano scanner which created a small monochromatic display on his wrist. motioned for Dane to turn around as he scanned her.
Teilani grinned as she turned around slowly.
He held up two fingers indicating she had two listening devices on her.
Hunter took off his boot and opened the heel’s secret compartment and produced a keryllium power cube. He activated it and handed it to Carter.
Carter took from her coat 4 small button like modules and combined them with 2 faux hairpins, the inside contained 4 small filaments, she skillfully assembled them into a wedge shaped field generator. Not strong enough to be detected but powerful enough to disrupt the signals emanated by any undetected listening devices.
As she was working, fiddling was a better word, she said. “I never knew it could be so crowded, Jones you said we could find work here.�
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have some clients in no time," said Hunter as he continued his feigned conversation.
He watched as Carter neutralized the listening devices. When she was finished Hunter nodded, "are we secure?"
"We are for now, but I can not guarantee it. This, and she weighed the little device, lacks power to be 100% sure. I suggest we keep intell as minimum as possible.
Hunter nodded and looked around. It was now nearly 0100 hours. "Dane, you take the bed, Carter, you take first watch.
Hunter looked at Teilani and Carter. Each appeared about to say something, but he interrupted them. "That's an order."
