[Front Ear Concert Venue - Backstage] Upon seeing Jovireh approach, Thea smiled as the security officer stopped and told her that she was ready. " Thank you Jovireh, once the others arrive, we can confirm the plan for tonight. I can tell you that we're one contestant short as Lixx had to pull out for personal reasons" she replied quietly. Even with one less participant, Jem hadn't been put off and had taken it all in her professional stride. Lixx's fans had even been compensated with Galaxyvision goody bags and autographs from the man himself prior to his departure. Letting Jovireh decide whether that was good news or not, considering her encounter with the rocker the night before. Thea would also relay the news to the others, however that might have to wait as one of Laraya's representatives came rushing towards them. " Commander, Laraya is missing and I don't know where she is. Her dressing room is empty...." Loren faltered slightly as their emotions took over. " Don't worry Loren, we'll find her" Thea assured the man as she looked to Jov.

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - Front Ear Event Venue - Galaxyvision 2381]Happy to be in her uniform once more, with a small phaser concealed discreetly on the inside of her ankle, Jov made her way across the venue. They certainly had gone all out with the set-up, and it was quite impressive. Thankfully, even though some patrons had started to arrive, it was still easy to see everything and move without brushing against anyone. Also being in uniform, people tended to get out of her way much easier. Her gaze scanned the area, searching for any sign of the Senior Chief or Dr. Baker. From across the room she saw a glimpse of red hair, and quickened her step just a little bit. A couple minutes later she had made it back stage, where she joined Thea. "Ready when you are," she told her simply, glancing around to see who else was back there.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear Event Venue - Dressing Room 1]Riyo was wearing a similar outfit as he had the night before, the exceptions being a black button down and silver vest. He had tried to stay out of the way while she was getting ready, though it was a little more difficult this time. When Lea and asked for his opinion, he gave her a bright smile, taking her hands and kissing her lips softly. "Absolutely stunning," he told her quietly. Riyo was definitely looking forward to watching her perform again, and hoped he'd be able to get a seat with an excellent view.

Tag Jovireh Velal, soft tags Ozu Saya Derek Black[ SCPO Melihn Ryah - Concert Venue] Ryah, too, was happy to be back in uniform. She hadn't been pleased with the order that security shouldn't be visibly armed, but it wasn't a problem for her as she favored cargo-style uniform pants. it gave her a perfect place to conceal her favorite phaser on her thigh. Because the holster was built into the pocket and strapped around her leg, the pocket didn't even look like there was anything in it. The chief was in the process of making a final security sweep of the venue, checking in with each officer that was stationed near the entrances, watching excited attendees as they took their seats. She finally worked her way around backstage, noting Jovirah speaking with Dr. Baker. Ryah intended to make a sweep of the dressing rooms before speaking to the XO, but something about the agitated stance of the person who'd just approached Thea made the security non-com abruptly change directions. Even without being able to hear the conversation, Ryah could tell that something wasn't right. ' What's going on?' she asked shortly, not bothering with formalities. ---------- Tag Thea Baker and Jovireh Velal

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - Front Ear Event Venue - Galaxyvision 2381]Jov couldn't help the small smile that played across her lips when Thea told her Lixx had pulled out of the contest. At least that was several less headaches for them to worry about... "Well that's a shame," she replied, though her expression betrayed her actual thoughts on the matter. Just then someone else came rushing over, panicking over someone not being in their dressing room. "She may have just wanted some space. When was the last time you saw her?" She replied calmly. While ideally all contestants should be in their dressing rooms now, the fact that one wasn't didn't give them enough of a reason to sound the alarm for a missing person just yet. Then Ryah was beside her, having clearly noticed the panicked expression. "Laraya isn't where she's supposed to be," she answered the Chief quietly.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear Event Venue - Dressing Room 1]Riyo smiled, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. "I think I can wait a few more minutes," he replied to her offer of a drink. He didn't need their connection to know her nerves were increasing, and he wanted to be able to help her calm down as much as he could before he left to go find his seat. So like the night before, he tried to radiate love and reassurance, this time adding a lit bit of excitement.

Tag Leanna Mazal [Front Ear Concert Venue - Dressing Room 1] Leanna knew that he could of easily of reassured her without the need to stay and that he could of promised to have drinks during the interval. However he knew her far too well and saw beyond the confident facade. Yes she was nervous but it was an excited kind of nervousness unlike having to deal with Lixx. Not that she had to worry about the Rocker showing up unannounced since he was no longer a contestant and rival. She was confident about the song, the performance and that she would actually make it to the end without a bomb threatening their lives. Yet it was only natural for her to feel this way and was extremely grateful to her Imzadi for being so understanding and supportive as he squeezed her hands as well as projecting love, reassurance as he answered her. Although she grinned a little as she picked up his excitement and loved him for it. " That would be great my love and you're already making me feel better" she replied as she let go in order to pour them a drink, before sitting down on the extremely comfortable sofa.

[ Apazi Fellin, Mott Moz | Apazi's Promenade ] Apazi's was busier than it had ever been, GalaxyVision delivering on its promises of excitement, spectacle, and colorful visitors. At some point along the way, Fellin had acquired an assistant and official taste-tester. Little Mott Moz visited the hasperat stand nearly every day with a thousand questions, wild stories, and there was no bulwark strong enough to rebuff his offers to help. Honestly, Fellin hadn't tried very hard to prevent it. Mott proved useful up-selling and running food out to customers. "We have more ways to say good-bye than any other language," Mott chattered away. "Is that so? How many ways do Bolians have to say good-bye?" Apazi asked as he rolled up the third of an order of classic hasperat. "Probably a hundred. There's one for if you're staying and someone else is going and the other way around. There's one for when you're happy about it or sad about it, or depending on how old you are or if you're part of the same clan, or how many people there are, or who's home it is," Mott explained. Apazi had found that from time to time, Mott was creative with the truth but this seemed like a very harmless thing to lie about. "How charming. What about when someone dies?" Mott seemed to collapse and then pulled himself back up the counter dramatically. "A hundred more! It takes forever!" "Bajoran funerals are very long, as well," Fellin said with a smile. It was then that a flock of a dozen feather-costumed Arkarians queued up to look at the menu and it wasn't long before Fellin was occupied answering their questions (with Mott's interjectory assistance.)

Tag Jovireh Velal , soft tags Ozu Saya Derek Black [Front Ear Concert Venue - Backstage] After meeting with Jem at the reception, Derek had spent most of the night going through the actual venue itself, a myriad of details needing to be checked. Everything from the number of bathrooms per spectator, to lighting and speaker fixtures, to food handling hygiene. Most of the work had been done for him by very qualified and competent inspectors, and was simply a matter of cross-matching field reports, but there were still several items requiring a last minute in-person review. He had just finished handing out hairnets to some of the more follicly gifted hamburger cooks from a proprietor called 'Flaming Licks', or something of that nature, a few minutes before the venue opened to the public. As the excited babble began filling the public area, Derek retreated into the back corridors where the activity was no less hectic, though their movements were much less about fun and more about work. "Commander, Chief, Jovireh." He greeted those he knew and uniformed with a slight smile, quizzically giving the frazzled person standing next to them a curious glance. "Early morning for such a late party. Has everyone suitably caffeinated?"

[Front Ear Concert Venue - Backstage] To potentially have a missing contestant an hour before the contest started was troubling indeed and yet despite hoping that Laraya had wandered off. Thea knew that they had to ask the necessary questions and get Laraya back to the dressing rooms asap. Loren was clearly distraught about her not being where she was supposed to be. Although the Argellian did answer Jov's question. " A couple of hours ago, I'd left her to get ready whilst I met with her family" he replied as they were joined by Ryah. " She can't of gotten too far then" Thea reassured him as she acknowledged the senior security officer as Jov filled her in. Then as Derek approached and gave Loren a curious glance before asking if they had been suitably caffeinated. Thea was thinking that they all might need something stronger at the end of this. " I think something stronger might be in order later but for now we need to find Laraya, she's not in her dressing room and was last seen a couple of hours ago. Derek since you also know this venue well, I'd like you to join us as we'll start our search here" Thea said as she looked at her officers, before turning to Loren. " Loren, I want you to wait in her dressing room and inform us, if she returns". Loren nodded in acknowledgement, before returning the way he had come.

[ SCPO Melihn Ryah - Concert Venue - Backstage] Ryah grimaced at the report that one of the contestants was missing. Well, if a couple of hours' absence could constitute being missing, but better to err on the side of caution. She nodded her agreement with Derek joining the search as she tapped her combadge, ' Melihn to Ops. I need a station-wide bioscan for...Argellians.' It took her a moment to recall from the bios she'd read on each contestant. ' Stand by, Chief,' the reply came. There were a few moments of tense silence, then ' I've got ten Argellians on the station. Want me to send the info to you?' ' Yeah, send it to my PADD. She reached into her right cargo pocket (the one that didn't contain her concealed phaser), and logged in, looking over the locations. Ryah turned her gaze to Dr. Baker. ' Commander, Petty Officer Velal and I can start checking out these people. Maybe she wandered off to the promenade or something. I can send some security officers to join the search here if you wish.' ---------- Tag Thea Baker , Derek Black , Jovireh Velal

[Laraya - Unknown Location]
The taste of metal in her mouth and noises from outside had roused Laraya from whatever she had been injected with. Her last memory before now was of the unmistakable feel of a hypospray against her neck and gentle hiss of it being released and then nothing until its effects clearly began to wear off. The Argellian singer opened her eyes fully and quickly realised that she was no longer in her dressing room. However rather than panic she tried to remain calm as she took in her surroundings.
Why was she in a ship? and who had brought her here?. Those were the questions that had got her focused on something. Perhaps if she could find the comm panel, maybe she could alert Loren, Pieter and of course station security as the contest would be starting soon. Assuming it already hadn't gone ahead without her. That in itself raised more questions as to why she had been taken.
Again fighting the rising panic, Laraya knew that she had to get up if she had any chance to get help. However when she attempted to do so, well it would be a little difficult with her hands and feet tied. Taking a deep breath, Laraya knew she had to think of something rather than just sit there and accept her fate.

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - Front Ear Event Venue - Galaxyvision 2381]Jovireh listened as the Senior Chief organized the search. With only ten Argellians on the station, it really shouldn't be very difficult to find her. "Someone should also check with the other contestants. Maybe one of them has seen her." And hopefully, everyone else was where they were supposed to be. "We've got less than an hour so we need to move quickly. We'll keep in touch." With that, she started walking back towards the Promenade, her eyes scanning the people they passed just in case Laraya was on her way back to her dressing room. She hoped Ryah didn't feel like she was stepping on her toes... but Jov had never been one for standing around planning while there was work to be done. That's why other people were the ones who made the plans and gave the orders.

Even without their telepathic connection, it was just a matter of paying attention to know when she needed up, and what sort of responses helped in doing so. He took a sip before turning his head to whisper in her ear. "I love your new tattoo, by the way..." Of course he had noticed it when her back had been turned, but it had surprised him so much he hadn't been able to think of what to say until that moment.

[Front Ear Concert Venue - Dressing Room 1] As Riyo accepted his drink from her and sat down beside her. Leanna shifted slightly to make the most of having his arm around her shoulders. Instantly finding that comfort that only he could give her as he playfully responded to her comment about how he was making her feel better. " Mmm very true, then again you never fail to do so" she replied teasing him ever so slightly. Although there was something about the way he whispered in her ear that always sent a shiver through her. Whilst it may or may not be deliberate given how she responded to it. She wasn't about to stop, especially with the words he used and knew that she had surprised him with what she had revealed. " Mmm I was hoping that you would, it's just another extension of how I feel about you. In fact you're the only person that's inspired me to do this, as up till now my tattoos have only represented me and the children".

Tag Jovireh Velal Ozu Saya Derek Black [Front Ear Concert Venue - Backstage] Derek was surprised at the intense concern shown by the others, all for a missing singer. Afterall, judging by the state of many contestants and fans alike from the party last night, some may have slept through their morning alarm, or had indulged in personal entertainment with a more private setting. Then again, maybe this Argellian was someone important to the show, or one of the star attractions. Maybe they were worried about more talent dropping out last minute, or, least likely, maybe she was some sort of regional royalty disguising herself to mingle as regular folk. "Happy to help. Is there a picture of her, or description?" Derek inquired, oblivious as to whom they were to look for. "Commander, are we sure Laraya wants to be found?" He postulated delicately, as the others dispersed. "Being gone for a couple hours isn't usually something that's overly alarming, and that Loren fellow didn't mention finding anything which might point to a mishap or foul play."

[Front Ear Concert Venue - Backstage] " We can handle that and acknowledged if we find anything, we'll notify you both" Thea said in response to Jov's suggestion, before her and Ryah left to check out the Argellian bio signs, that had been provided. Leaving the Doctor with Derek as the Ensign asked if there was a picture or description of Laraya. Having met the Argellian, Thea was able to describe her accurately. " She's 5ft 7, curvy build and has long silvery purple hair, oh and likes to go barefoot where possible. I met her a couple of days ago when she first arrived at the station".There was certainly no way that Thea could forget the Argellian especially with her knowing Andila. When Derek then raised a point that she hadn't considered and the lack of other information from Loren, it was something to consider and likely another talk was needed with Laraya's PA. " You raise a valid point Derek, it's something we can't rule out. However I'd rather be over cautious with her being one of the contestants, especially after what happened at the last Galaxyvision. In any case we need to alert Jem about this whilst Alpha team begins the search of the venue" she stared as Lt Morris approached. Once the brief had been given, Thea prepared to lead the way to Jem's dressing room.
