==The Safe House==

After the fire fight at the Hotel Voltul, the away team found itself in deep trouble as Irlixian police forces began to close in on their position. 

[[Mike Rosenbauer]] and [[Ios Malinae]] managed to slip out of the police cordon in an attempt to locate a place where the away team could regroup and take stock of their tactical situation as well as assess the potential success for the continuation of their mission.

While the away team was managing to remain out of sight inside the police perimeter, [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Robert Smith|Robbie Smith]] managed to infiltrate the police tactical communications network and redirect police units away from the away team's location. Thus when the word came that Mike and Ios had located a suitable rally point, the away team was able to make their way to that location with minimal police interference.

The safe house turned out to belong to a friend of Ios' who was an archeologist away on an excavation and was not expected to be back for some months. The away team, temporarily under the command of [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Thomas Jackson|Jackson]], settled in to treat the wounded and to determine their next course of action.

With the outlook looking bleak and the odds of success becoming slimmer and slimmer as time went by, the mission seemed to be destined for failure.
