OOC Note: This is technically open to any Sentinel crew member but geared towards those who will be on the surface initially.
Jon paces back and forth in the shuttle bay. Given the nature of his assignment and his own personal decision to remain unarmed, there was not much needed from him other than his presence on the planet. As he waits for Alice's arrival his mind drifts back to the conversation he had with Josh...Chorus...in the dream. He had been so sure initially that it was Joshua, but now, especially after his conversation with Kessi, he wasn't so sure. The fact that he appeared to be a prisoner of some kind...and yet he could see the man he knew in the dream. Joshua kept referring to Alice as an echo, constantly repeating that she wasn't real...he really had no idea how the Chorus would react to her presence on the planet. She had been so insistent on coming, he knew her mind was made up and there was no going back from this. They certainly had that in common at times...it was one of the many reasons he was madly in love with her. And the news that she had told them on the bridge...for the first time that he could remember in a long time, he felt...optimistic. A smile comes to his face as Jon leans back against the shuttle, waiting for Alice.

To avoid temporal paradoxes, this is set before the Sickbay thread...
The door opens, but it's not Alice. Instead, Victor comes striding up to Jon.
"Hey there, Jon. Are you going to be staying planetside for this?"

Jon raises both eyebrows.
"Yes I am Mister Springfield...if that is your real name."

Vic raised an eyebrow. "Don't get all weird on me, Jon. Just because I work for Starfleet Intelligence doesn't mean that my entire persona is made up. My name is really Victor Jackson Springfield. I'm really a JAG officer and I'm really a diplomat with the Diplomatic Corps. I just wear... many hats."
"I just wanted to tell you... the Chorus is going to try to play on your sympathy for your brother. I know it's hard, but you may be put in a situation where that will be exploited."

Shortly after victor's arrival, Kessie entered into the shuttle bay. She had her arms folded around herself, she looked around and smiled faintly as she spotted Jon. She made her way over to him and offered Victor a smile as well. "Jon, I was hoping to catch you before you left."

Jon folds his arms.
"You must be the one who intercepted my transmission to Liz. God I hope she comes..."
He shakes his head.
"I think it already has...I'm not sure. Regardless, I believe he may be a prisoner inside there...so it will be my goal to, if necessary, turn that exploitation on the Chorus."

Jon turns to Kessi.
"I was also hoping to speak with you...unless you'll be joining us."

Kessie smiled again at this though kept her arms folded around her. "I was actually hoping to make a point in going with. What is it you wanted to speak to me about?"

Jon nods before continuing.
"Billie and I discussed it and...we'd like to see if you could assist us in making a telepathic connection to Joshua before he arrives."

Kessie seemed a little surprised by the request at first and let out a deep sigh. "I see.. Well, are you sure that is something that might help? I mean, we -do- have to be careful in communication.. We aren't sure what truly is Joshua and what may be tricks by this chorus."
She paused in thought for a moment before continuing, "I will do what I can to help you of course. I just need to know you approach this carefully."

Jon nods as she speaks.
"I understand what you are saying...but I want to do everything possible here to avoid a battle. I don't know what he could do to 'trick' me at this point, given I serve as bait."

Kessie nodded as she listened. "I understand, we just need to be careful about all of this." She turned to Vic curiously now. "What sort of insight do you have on this? And what part are you going to be playing?"

Jon eyes Vic suspiciously as he waits a response, wondering where Alice was.

Victor carefully considered his response.
"We're as ready as we'll ever be. We have a number of new tricks at our disposal. There's no better time or place to have this confrontation, so I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll be on the ship, helping with the new technology. I'm already familiar with most of it so I'll do my best to help others understand it, too."

Kessie regarded him curiously as he spoke, suddenly recalling a piece of information. "New technology.. Are you speaking about this.. 'Astral projection' you spoke of before?? I'm not sure how that might help us in this situation.. but regardless, we welcome your help of course.." She trailed off a little and looked between the two of them, doing her best to hide any worry that was creeping up on her.
