==A New Plan of Action==

While the members of the away team visited Sickbay to have the last of their injuries tended to and to have the cosmetic surgeries undone, Captain Salid was speaking with the civilian advise Ios concerning the situation. It was from that brief meeting and interview that a new plan of action was hatched.

Once the away team was restored, and with the Rosenante managing to remain undetected at the polar orbit of the planet, Captain  Salid called a briefing where he outlined the new plan.

He had become convinced after hearing about the history of the Rhone Union from Ios that a member of the Medea crew had managed to infiltrate the government and violated the [[Prime Directive]] for their own benefit.

This in turn led the Captain to implement a three pronged plan of action that would achieve a variety of mission goals simultaneously.

First Salid and [[Louis Remey]] would be making an appearance at a scheduled media conference being put forward by [[Ono Nakamura|Khoda Rhone]]. By hijacking the media feeds of the planet, Salid could insure that the message that he wanted to spread across the planet would remain uninterrupted. Remey would be responsible for running scans of the [[Rhone Union]] leadership present in an effort to ferret out the traitor in their midst.

While Salid and Remey acted as investigators, instigators and distraction, a second team led by [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Steven Wade Matrix]] and consisting of [[Marta Nunez]], [[Sanok]] and [[Robert Smith]] would conduct a raid against Rhone Union government offices in an attempt to locate information on the location of the Hostages from the [[USS Bohrs]]. Once that information was located, a third team led by [[Mike Rosenbauer]], and consisting of [[Kimiko Ichijo]], [[Sam Lopez]], and [[Eian O'Neill]] would begin the operation to rescue the hostages while Matrix's team beamed to the sight of the Bohrs and prepared the ship for departure.

Unfortunately, some parts of the plan did not quite happen as planned. Although The rescue team was deployed, matrix's team was forced to remain hidden in the government offices due to the fact that the Rosenante, Commanded by [[Rank|Commander]] [[T'Larah Sullivan]], and aided by [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Thomas Jackson]] and [[Chance Raschen]], was forced into a military encounter with Rhone Union [[Starship]]s commanded by Fleet Commander [[Frazil]].

Despite this setback, Rosenbauer's team managed to rescue not only the hostages from the Bohrs, but also [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Ben Soma]], previously of the [[USS Mithrandir]] and [[Rank|Lieutenant]] Doug Masters. The reinforced team managed to make their way to the Bohrs, and after a spectacular diversion with a damaged runabout, destroy the partially restored wreckage of the [[USS Medea]] and allow the Bohrs to escape the hanger once her systems were restored.

While members of his crew were engaged in various levels of their portion of the operation, Captain Salid managed to cause Khoda Rhone, whom Remey had identified as [[Ono Nakamura]], previously the Chief Engineering Officer of the [[USS Medea]] to confess to his crimes.

As expected, the [[Irlixian]]s were shocked and Khoda Rhone was ousted from power. He was taken into custody by Remey, while Salid attempted to rectify the cultural contamination that Nakamura had caused.
