Vivian Martin becomes a target because the Devoted wants Morali for CSO. Martin is attacked on Day 02 after her position is announced. (Hastata-Nerada posts starter with Devoted attacking Martin. Who comes to her rescue?)

Jimmy Mariner's up for it. Whenever she's announced for the role of CSO, Mariner would be keeping an eye on her, loosely in step with Marquez's "Steady Nerves and Stout Hearts" ideology, either officially ordered/assigned by a Theurgy officer, or on his own to get Sharky the dog's medication in the lab, any reason [or, more likely excuse, lol] to be at Vivian's side. It'd be here when he gives her the data rods-- or gets interrupted by the cult. I'm not sure how it'll play out, but Mariner is handy in a fight*. This mutiny might justify Marquez's latent fear about who one can trust, at least at first. I figure Mariner might be initially unarmed, but will improvise, probably even Sharky's first demonstration of his famous K9-unit disarm, phaser scatters, and Bob's-your-uncle, pyoo-pyoo... stun of course.
Also, Marquez and Alessia should meet whenever convenient or possibly in step with the first two days' schedule. Nolan/Duv said Marquez should be up and about soon, so long as he checks in every few days. I figure he'd want to keep the scars as a reminder, but otherwise make a recovery within the first day, well in time for the Nebula thread. Mariner may be a half-decent security guard, but a lousy bedside mannerist.
Looking forward to the Post-Nebula debrief to tie in time, locations, objectives and agendas into sequence. Looking forward to additional input.
*ATTN: Security Chief, Quartermaster: *Jimmy has a Bajoran phaser pistol named 'Kira' after a Bajoran Colonel who turned him down flatly for a holosuite date. He favors the gun for the possible use as a brass-knuckle potential. It's currently in transporter buffer. Sometimes he has a back-up, but is good enough with just one. No fancy modification, no tampering outside of canon, just the classic garden-hose-nozzle of doom.

Probably "Kira" stenciled along the side.
He acquired it from one of two methods: A joint training exercise on DS9 during a brief shore leave when the old USS Hornet was passing through, or from the Station Bartender:
He likely got it from Quark, who didn't realize the gun was just a shell/casing or inert... or might've just ripped off Jimmy for the latinum; or Mariner 'forgot' to turn it in during joint security training on the station with the Bajoran deputies in the holosuites. If so, Odo would've been, "Ensign..." *Jimmy hands it over just before he makes it to the Hornet's airlock.* "Oh, silly me... *Took scans anyway to DIY one later over the next few years." It can be explained IC. Jimmy got it to work over the course of the three years and swore by it. If, of course, it's possible.
Or not
