Summary - Enki has been rescued. The family has once again been reunited.

Daryina Xia, the slightly insane daughter of Kaimana Xia, and Marla Enki, has been captured and detained in the brig of the U.S.S. Scimitar, while her captured vessel, the U.S.S. Eridanus is searched by Scimitar crew, and reclaimed.

Daryina Xia...a woman of no morals, or no limits. She has killed in order to gain a symbiont, and has even attempted to murder her own mother. This is a woman who knows no bounds...

We join the crew now as they do their best to pick up the pieces - reclaim their fallen vessel, and pick up where they left off.

CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::finishes yet another patrol around ME and walks over near O'Riley:: EO: Have you made any progress Lieutenant?
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: No, not yet. Is the area still clear, Ensign ?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::stifles a yawn and plays with the display on his TIC console, checking through the Eridanus crew roster one by one looking for possible Green Star members::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::stands in a hallways on the Eridanus checking her phaser and waiting for order from the FCO::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@EO: Yes, that hatch ways are latches from our side as well.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@:: his fingers still run over the console, trying to get access and to bypass the locks::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::Groggy and unsure of her surroundings, Kaimana does her best to open her eyes, feeling the swelling of her cheeks, as a warm fluid drips down into her eyes. She blinks and does her best to figure out where exactly she is::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: Great T'Vel, good job.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wanders about sickbay checking some patients::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances around him as he studies his surroundings, he breaths deeply and loads his rifle:: *FCO*: Exeter, we're in section three. State your position.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::on the bridge of the Scimitar, anticipating a report from one of the away teams on the Eridanus' and their status concerning the search for Kaimana Xia::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Tinkers with a few items in a small bag, when he notices his...patient....is stirring.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: I give up. I tried what I could. ::raises an eyebrow as an idea comes to his mind::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::nods at the EO, taps comm. badge:: *FCO*: ME is secured sir, Mr. O'Riley is still attempting to bypass the security protocols.  Our status is unchanged.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Points at ten people from his crew to go to the left corridor, him and his team continue forward::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@*CTO*:understood ::walking around the bridge waiting for the computer to accept  his clearance::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@EO: If the rest of this vessel has been secured, the urgency of getting into the system would not be as urgent of a priority.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO* Sir, I need the original access codes for the computer core. They were entered into the computer when it was started first. Perhaps the next starbase is able to get the information.
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@ Xia: Good morning my little spotted princess...and how are you today? ::Grins, while taking something out of his case and hiding it behind his back::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@*XO*: on the main bridge waiting for computer clearance
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: We need to get control of the stabilizers and the SIF.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::glares at his screen, waiting for something anomalous to appear. A record too perfect, a record with something hidden...anything::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: That's the minimum.
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::As she hears the voice of that psycho Green Star doctor, she immediately realizes where she is, and begins to try to sit up. As she does, Kaimana realizes that she is restrained, strapped to her own dinner table in her Commanding Officer's quarters::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Orders some lower ranking medical crew about and heads off towards the Brig::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Pauses in front of a TL shaft, he glances to his sides for a few moments before bending down and opening a nearby JT entrance panel. He Nods at five of his people to use the TL, he motions the rest to crawl after him:: *FCO*: Understood, I have a few teams all around the ship in patrols. I just sent a team up to your location in the TL, I'll come there later by the JT. Maor out.

ACTION - The Eridanus computer doesn't want to accept any command codes from Maor, Exeter or Black.

FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@Self: I think  I should get a blunt object and just hit it repeatedly
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*XO* Sir, I have an idea how to regain control of the computer systems.
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::continues to pace around the main entry ways of ME::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::walks back into the bridge to see what's going on:: FCO: sir should I proceed to deck two?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Enters the turbolift and hums a tune::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::As blood runs down her face, it gets into her eye and the young woman feels a string as the fluid mixes in her eye - forcing her to blink repeatedly...while continuing to struggle with her bonds::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Excellent suggestion, Lieutenant....  Kaimana Xia, the Captain of the Eridanus should know them, but I will convey with Starfleet Command on the issue...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@OPS: get some men and start searching for Captain Xia
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@FCO: Aye sir
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*EO*: Go ahead then, I'm listening. ::Pauses midway, he studies an open console beside him and shakes his head as he notices the serial number:: I'm starting to run out of ideas as well.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
Computer: locate Captain Kaimana Xia

ACTION - A few of Maor's teams arrive on the bridge, waiting for orders from Exeter and Moore.

EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO/XO* If you get these codes, we will need to reboot the computer core. Afterwards the system will ask for them to load all systems. I guess after a reboot the access locks will be eliminated.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Still humming as the turbolift speeds off towards sickbay::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@<Computer> FCO: Commander Kaimana Xia is currently located on Deck 2, Section 32.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands from his chair and turns to the CIV::  CIV: Mr. Delar, you have the bridge, I will be in my readyroom to convey with Starfleet Command...  ::heads to his RR::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks and nods, a little surprised. Shrugging he transferred his work to the console on the captains chair and went down::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@*XO*: We got her; Commander Xia is on deck 2 section 32
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::hesitating a little he sits slowly in the Big Chair[TM]::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@Computer: Status of Deck 2, section 32?
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Let's hope so, I will also ask Starfleet Command to appoint us "new" command codes for initial use...  ::enters his RR and takes a seat behind his desk::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@<Computer> FCO: Minimal structural damage present.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::The Turbolift stops and Kerak walks off towards the brig::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::grabs a med kit and heads for deck 2::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*EO*: All Starfleet computer systems have safety locks, how do you suggest we bypass them? ::Pauses, a smile appears on his face:: *FCO*: On my way.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO* So, have I permission to make my way with Mr. T'Vel to deck 2, computer core control room ?
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::brings up her phaser and follows the FCO signalling for one of the teams to do that same::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::as he walks around ME his mind ponders what the rest of the away teams are doing, feels again that his role as Chief Tactical Officer is not being put forth::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Kicks open a JT entrance, he jumps out of the JT and begins his run towards section 32:: *FCO*: I'm on deck 2.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*XO*: The captain will try to get the original or "new" command codes. They are the only requirement to reboot the complete system. 
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles to himself and starts to read through his work again, checking for any anomalies in the Eridanus crew::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@:: Exits the TL on deck 2:: *XO*: I'm heading for your location, have a med kit
CO_Capt_Black says:
::accesses his comm. console and opens a priority call to Admiral Haydes' office::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@Xia: Now, now, young one...Do not struggle so...you'll bruise that beautiful body of yours. ::He reveals a hypospray in on hand from behind his back:: Xia: That's my job... ::Injects her with the hallucinogen/sedative mix::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*XO* Along with some tricks which I learned from my former CEO I guess, I should make the computer do what we want.

ACTION - After a few minutes, Black receives the comm. signal, and Haydes' "receptionist" responds.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Nods at the guard as he walks through the brigg doors, he walks over to one of the cells and examines the prisoner::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::tries to keep up with the FCO::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::The chemical begins to react with her system...and the colors in the room begin to shift and blur::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::patrols ME::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*EO*: Consult the Captain then. ::Glances back to check on his team:: *FCO*: Understood, ::Pauses in front of section 32, he studies the doors:: I'm there. I'm going inside.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*XO* So, have I permission to make my way with Mr. T'Vel to deck 2, computer core control room ?
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@Computer: computer, is there anybody currently with Commander Xia?
CO_Capt_Black says:
COMM: Admiral Haydes' Office: This Captain Black from the Scimitar, I need to convey with Admiral Haydes on a matter, can you patch me through?

ACTION - A crash is heard from the second level of the Eridanus' Engine Room.

EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::ducks and holds his arms over his head::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::reacts to the sound and walks over towards the  warp core and aims his rifle up the shaft towards the second level::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::pulls out tricorder and scans the second level::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
#<Office>COMM: Scimitar: My apologies Captain Black, however Admiral Haydes is away from the Iliad at this time. The Admiral has left for your vessel, and will be rendezvousing with you in 12 standard hours...sir...
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*EO*: Consult the Captain on this matter please; I'm a bit busy now. ::Points his rifle at the door, he moves his hand and presses the override code to the door::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::grabs his handphaser and crawls to the wall::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@<Computer> OPS: Yes. Unidentified humanoid.
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Voice distorted to Xia:: Xia: Yes...see? Everything is nice and pretty...but don't worry. You'll still be able to feel....pain... ::reveals the other item from behind his back in his other hand - a long, thin piece of metal with a blue glow emanating from the end of it::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::Almost running to section 32:: Self: She'll hate it when she sees me 
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: What do you read ?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::swallows as he tries to push a smile on his face::   COMM: Adm Office: Acknowledged, thank you for your time... Black out.

ACTION - The comm signal closes.

CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::makes a motion towards to EO to not speak and movs his arm towards the access ladder closest to the EO::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@*XO*:Sir be careful she's not alone in there
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::She notices a huge flash of blue, as her senses are quite distorted. The woman begins to panic and fights harder to break free of her restraints::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::sighs to himself and slouches a little in the Big Chair[TM], methodically reading through the crew roster::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*OPS*: How many life forms are you reading?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
D-Xia: So how are we doing? ::Scans her with his med tricorder::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::walks slowly where the CTO pointed to::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::makes his way to the closest access ladder and slowly and quietly moves up the ladder::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@Computer: computer please identify other life form with commander Xia
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Daryina> MO: As good as can be considered, you pathetic little man...what do you want with me?
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::secures the lower engine level::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Sings some Troyian Opera softly, as he watches the status of the small device light up all green, signalling the ready::

ACTION - Maor's override is unsuccessful, and a security field comes up immediately as a safety precaution - one of Daryina's tricks no doubt.

ACTION – The computer can’t complete Moore’s request.

CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@:: reaches the second level and stays low behind the warp core, looking for the terran lifesign he detected::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*XO*: Black to Maor, Commander, it seems Admiral Haydes is coming to pay us a visit...  he'll be here in 12 hours...  we need to have this cleared up before then...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Daryina: Just following my orders ma'am, ::Finishes the scans::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::follows the CTO up the ladder::

ACTION - A frantic Green Star guard leeps out from behind a console in Main Engineering and begins firing at T'Vel.

CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::ducks and rolls over away from the warp core, if this fool is going to fire at him, at least he wont be aiming at the warp core::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@:: as his head is just above the floor of the second level he sees the green guard::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::standing with his medkit waiting for maor to get the shield down::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Daryina> ::Rushes at the force field and bangs her hands on the field:: MO: Then why don't you be a good little drone and let me out you mindless freak?!
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Whistles part of the opera to himself, as he watches Kaimana struggle:: Xia: Now, little one...you cannot tell me you don't enjoy this... ::Plunges the white hot end of the device into her arm for a second::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@:: throws his tricorder to the left of the warp core, hoping the guard will run over there::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Curses as he notices the flashing light, he curses louder as he hears the Captain's communication:: Self: What else? ::Sighs:: *CO*: Understood, Captain. ::Signals a guard towards him:: *OPS*: I have a security field around me and a sealed door, offer me solutions please.
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::rolls towards the guard and locks and fires on the guard::

ACTION - The guard doesn't take the bait, and realizes he has a second target.

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Daryina: I can't, cus if I let you out I'd be a bad little drone ::Orders the guard to raise the force field on Daryina’s cell to maximum settings::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@XO: overload the Force field with your phaser, blow up the door with a hand phaser.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks at the beeping on his console and looks back to Tactical:: *CO*: Sir, there is a fire fight going on onboard the Eridanus, in Main Engineering.
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@*XO*:Sir she has one guest in there...the computer doesn't seem to be able to identify them...maybe there's a jefferies tube nearby that won't be block...if not the closest power couplings might have to be destroyed first
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::climbs up the ladder and runs to the left of the warp core::

ACTION - T'Vel's shot lands true, and the guard drops down, tumbling down to the main level of Engineering and landing on a console.

EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::looks down to the guard:: CTO: Good shot.
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::yells:: EO: I've neutralized him.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::quickly gets up and walks back to the Tac1 console, checking the scanners and centering them on the Eridanus ME::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Chuckles:: FCO: Me and override phasers don't go along, trust me. Try to find the nearest power coupling; I'll try my luck here.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO* Sir, We had another guard down here. But Mr. T'Vel neutralized him. Situation is clear.
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Daryina> MO: You child! Let me out of here, or you'll feel my wrath!!!
CO_Capt_Black says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged...  *XO*: Black to Maor, come in please...  we're reading phaser fire at the Eridanus...
CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands from his chair and moves out of the RR and onto the bridge::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: Secure this level, I will climb down.
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@*CO*: it wasn't me :;grins::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::begins to secure the hatch ways on the second level::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning for the power coupling closest to the XO's position::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::Struggles even more. Her fear reaches to a point that she can't contain it any longer and the woman begins to sob and cry for help::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant...    *FCO*: That was my hope...  ::smiles::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*CO*: Understood, I'll revaluate the situation and spread my teams wider. ::Removes a PADD from his back pocket, he begins making notes:: *Security Team*: All Security teams, new orders. Consult your PADDs. Maor out.
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::climbs down and pulls the guard from the console ... phaser still aimed at him::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Hums to himself, gaining volume as the music in his head crescendos:: Xia: Poor dear...look at you, crying... Here...let me help... ::Places his torture device down and grabs some tissues, dabbing under her eyes:: Xia: You'll mess up your pretty face....
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@::shakes the guards head and slaps him, hoping to find him alive and to wake him up::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::at each JT hatch he scans down each tube for lifesigns::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Slaps Kaimana across the cheek, screaming:: Xia: And that's my job, you snivelling little wretch!
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::steps over to the TIC console and assumes his station, checking up on the fire fight:: CO: It appears to be over now, Sir. Im detecting no traces of weapons fire
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::Kaimana jerks her head up violently, hoping that she might be able to strike at the Doctor as he leans over her, and then falls back down as his hand comes across her face::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::finally locates her target and hurries off for a little sabotage::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: Well, you could reverse the polarity of the STA in your badge and throw it to the forcefield, but I ain't no Engineer. Maybe CIV would know
CO_Capt_Black says:
*XO*: Very good Commander, keep me informed...  ::steps onto the command area::  CIV: Very well Ensign...
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::finds nothing in the tubes:: *EO*: I have secured the second level and latched each hatch as well, scans of the surrounding areas reveal no other lifesigns.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Changes the screen on his PADD, he begins to scan the security field frequency and trigger location:: FCO: If it will come to that we'll do it, but that will leave the sealed door. And who know what more surprises are stored for us?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Laughs:: Daryina: Why don't you be a good prisoner and shut the hell up!
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Angrilly grabs the heat-generating device and plunges it into her stomach for a moment before letting up, then pressing it once again into her leg::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@*OPS*: Any luck, Ensign?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: I suggest we just blow the door open. Just give me a hand phaser and it's as good as open.
CO_Capt_Black says:
CIV: Keep me in the loop, also, keep me informed on Admiral Haydes' arrival at the ship....  ::smiles::
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
@::Screams in pain as a burning sensation fills her stomach. Her internal organs feel as if they are boiling, as she yells out in agony::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CTO*: Acknowledged Mr. T'Vel. Please come down here again.
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@FCO: Let's see what the OPS has to say first.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Captain. I will notify you if anything occurs, and when the Admiral is within hailing distance
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::comes up to the power coupling and removes the panel in the wall::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::descends the ladder to the main level of ME::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::holsters tricorder abruptly and stands looking stoic for a few moments::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO* Sir, I request permission to leave ME and make my way with Ensign T'Vel to the computer core control room on deck 2.
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Grins maniacally:: Xia: Yes, yes! Scream for me, my dear, scream! ::Takes the white-hot device and punctuates it all over Xia's body, never for more than a few seconds each time::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
CO: Captain...I have an idea. If we shut down the Eridanus computer...it should reset control, and allow us to access it. Maybe even taking the force fields offline...
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@FCO, Security guards: Okay, lock on the doors and set to maximum. Everyone pull back a few meters. On my mark. ::Walks back and points his rifle at the doors::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::points his Phaser at the door:: XO: This is the reason why i joined, I like blowing stuff up!
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::starts attempting to override the security protocols::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CIV::  CIV: Good suggestion, but upon start up we will need the command codes to get the computer operational again... so that bring us in an even nastier situation...  I'm afraid we need those command codes.

ACTION - Moore is successful, and after a few moments, the shield surrounding Kaimana's quarters drops.

XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Notices the dropping force field:: All: Fire! ::Fires as well::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
CIV: We can get the command codes any time...Captain Xia may not have that much time...
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Daryina> ::Punches and claws at the security field, screaming madly, bloody murder and all that good stuff::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::stands up after a job well done and smiles::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
@::fires at the door:: Security team: be ready to secure the room, shoot to stun.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks down at his console and grins:: CO: Captain, don’t worry. They appear to have taken the force field offline.

ACTION - The security teams launches a volley of phaser fire at Kaimana's front door and the metal buckles immediately, allowing light to filter into the Dungeon of Horrors...

MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wanders over to the guard and tells him a joke, they both laugh and point at the insane woman::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CIV: Thank god...
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Places the heat generator off to the side, and grabs a few more items from his 'medical' bag - a pair of gloves with six inch razors on the fingertips::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Rushes inside the room while three guards stand beside him:: *CO*: Captain, we're inside. Can you get a lock on all of the signals in our current position?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
CO: Should I beam Captain Xia to Sickbay, Sir?
CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Permission granted Lieutenant...
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@*CO* Thanks Captain.
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::He puts them on as he sees the door blow open:: Self: No, they're ruining it! ::Grabs the heat device in his clawed hands::
CO_Capt_Black says:
*XO*: Checking Commander...  ::turns to the CIV::  CIV: Can we Lieutenant ?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::taps out a command on his console and brings up transporter control, getting a lock on Kaimana Xia::

ACTION - A small security team, Exeter and Maor rush into the room to see their former Executive Officer strapped to a table and covered in cuts, sores, burns...

EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: OK, Ensign, we're gonna go to deck 2.
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::stands distracted and unresponsive::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*MO*: Get to sickbay, Ensign. Incoming priority patient...
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Notices the doctor with the device in his hand, he snarls and lowers his rifle power to stun. He fires at the Doctor::
Doctor_L`Pontlyontes says:
@::Closes his eyes, and pretends to conduct the music playing in his head, using the torture device as a baton::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::Quickly get the med kit and takes cares of Xia's wounds:: Xia: You looked better when you where still XO on the Scimi.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
CO: Yes...::nods to the Captain and transports Xia out, sending her to the Scimitar sickbay::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: You're ok Ensign ? ::walks towards him::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
@::walks into the opened room readying her phaser rifle:
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: Beam everyone out of that room and into sickbay...   *XO*: Prepare for beam out then, Commander

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, the battered and bruised body of Commander Kaimana Xia is beamed to the Scimitar sickbay for immediate treatment.

CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::glances over at the EO then away and back again:: EO: My apologies.  ::begins to walk towards the ME doorway::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: Just wait a moment.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods and gets locks on everyone else, transporting them to sickbay along with Xia::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Daryina: Looks like our little chat will have to wait, shame... ::Nods at the guard’s and walks out::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::stops turns and raises eyebrow:: EO: Lieutenant?
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
@CTO: You're really sure that everything's fine with you ? ::raises an eyebrow::

ACTION - As Maor's shot flies across the room, the team, and the evil doctor are transported to sickbay. When the group re-materializes...the Doctor is a heap lying on the floor, stunned heavily.

CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::mutters and gets a lock on the MO, beaming him directly to the Scimitar sickbay:: *MO*: Hurry up, next time. Lives hang in the balance, Ensign
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:

CIV_Ens_Delar says:
CO: I don’t know what he did, Captain...but Commander Xia isn't in a very good state. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t survive...::something close to a glare crosses his face as he stares down at his console::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: I need her to wake up, we need her codes
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks about wondering what the heck is going on::

ACTION -  Kaimana drifts into unconsciousness, as at the same time, a mysterious officer walks into the brig of the U.S.S. Scimitar - in hopes of speaking with Daryina Xia. As he does, he drops a small device near the force field emitters and leaves.

FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
CMO: Morning Doc, how’s your patient, already demanding to be released?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::paces in one of the corner of the Blade Lounge, waiting for everyone to take a seat, then moves to the head of the table::  All: Glad you all could make it in such a timely fashion...
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
::stands isolated from the other crewmembers::
CMO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::chuckles:: FCO: As expected....::quiets down::

<Admiral Haydes> ::Stands in the back of the Lounge, watching the rest of the crew from afar and watching Marla Enki keenly - having just finished reading the report on this incident::

@::steps forward towards the Captain::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
All: Crew at attention.
CO_Capt_Black says:
CTO: Mr. T'Vel, you're experience as a NCO has served you well in the past few years. It was one of the things, which was very clear as we reviewed your performance in our last mission. You adapted quickly and led the tactical department very well under extreme situations. Speaking from experience I know it's hard to keep your tactical & security department functioning well under said conditions. Therefore I'm pleased to present you with a Captain's Letter of Commendation for Bravery Under Extreme Conditions. Congratulations Ensign and be sure to continue on your current path! ::smiles as he hands the PADD with official communiqué::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:: as by habit jumps top attention with cup in hand::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::blushes:: CIV: it's a very old trick...and a very old coin...for some seemingly very valuable thoughts...
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
@::takes the PADD and nods:: CO: I am honoured sir.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::flicking the coin back to Moore he gave her one of his rare warm smiles and sat at attention:: OPS: My thoughts are free, if you would care to join me for a drink when this is all finished

@XO: That would be a reasonable assumption Commander.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at his PADD::  Continuing....   Ensign Moore, front and centre please !
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
::nods at the CTO showing his respect for his work::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::plays the coin around on the tips of her fingers:: CIV: only if it's a good drink...I have a private stock in my quarters...if you're interested...
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Admiral Haydes> ::Watches and waits for the crew to calm down and let their Captain continue::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Wishes he was in sickbay::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::stands up a little shocked and steps to the CO::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: get your cute behind moving!
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Looks at the doors::
CO_Capt_Black says:
OPS: Ensign, in your short time with us I must say that you have surprised me with your resourcefulness in extreme situations. Starfleet Command also speaks highly of your reports while being an undercover operative in Green Star. Therefore I'm pleased to present you with a Captain's Letter of Commendation for Outstanding Performance of Duties Under Extreme Conditions, congratulations! ::hands her a PADD with the official communiqué from Starfleet Command::

::nods back at the EO::

::finishes his coffee and walks back to his window::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::smiles:: CO: thankyou sir I've never been more honoured
CMO_Lt_Lemmick says:
OPS: Congrats Ensign.

::nods::  OPS: As are we to have you Ensign....
CO_Capt_Black says:
CIV: Ensign Delar, front and centre please !
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::goes and sits down again::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks slowly and stands, smiling his congratulations to Moore as she passes and stepping up to the Captain at attention::
CO_Capt_Black says:
CIV: Ensign, you've been with us for over 7 months now and in your duties as tactical expert you've added to the crew's experience and knowledge in an excellent way. Therefore I'm pleased to present you with a Captain's Letter of Commendation for Dedicated Service to the U.S.S. Scimitar and her crew. Congratulations Ensign! ::hands him the official communiqué on PADD::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles widely and accepts the PADD:: CO: Thank you, Captain. It has been a pleasure, and I have learned a lot more than I have taught

::looks up and turns around, does a quick march to the CO and stands to Attention:: Self: okay, back to just being FCO Exeter
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::smiles at Delar:: CIV: congratulations
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::steps back and returns to his seat next to Moore, whispering quietly and smiling:: OPS: The same to you...I think I will need a drink after this, and your quarters sounds fine
CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Lieutenant, you're one of the long time servers aboard the Scimitar, you've gone from our Chief Engineering Officer to our Chief of Operations to our current Chief of Flight Operations. And I don't think we need to stress that you came a long way from where we both once started. Especially with your promotion to Second Officer I truly believe you have what it takes to, in time, stand where I am now; at the head of a Starship. John Exeter, it's therefore with great pleasure that I present you with the Star Cross of the United Federation of Planets for your extraordinary heroism displayed in our last set missions. ::takes one of the black boxes and hands it to Exeter:: Congratulations Lieutenant, well earned !
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::looks baffled:: CO: thanks...... I think ::grins::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles::  FCO: You're on the right Path John...
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
CO: Nope I ain't, just unlucky in being in the wrong place at the wrong time :;grins::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins at his FCO as he glances at his XO::    All Right, last but not least Commander Maor, front and centre please!
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
:;takes a step back takes a quick glance at one of Starfleet’s highest Awards:: XO: wonder what you are getting :;grins::
CTO_Ens_T`Vel says:
::continues to stand at attention near the side of the room, holding head up and paying close attention to show respect for his fellow officers receiving commendations::
CMO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::sits back in his chair sippin on his coffee::
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::considers that special delivery from her father, a nicely aged 30 year old scotch...a present for not getting herself killed, and whispers:: CIV: I have just the thing to celebrate with
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow in surprise:: CO: Indeed? ::Takes a step towards the Captain, he moves his hands behind his back and stands at attention::
CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: Commander, you've boarded the Scimitar while she was in "heavy weather" which is difficult for anyone especially if you're paid to be the First Officer. ::grins:: Nevertheless, you've handled the situation excellently and earned the respect of the entire crew while doing so. In recognition of your leadership skills displayed over the past few months and the past two weeks in particular I'm pleased to present you with the Legion of Honour. ::takes the last black box from the table and opens it, showing it to Maor:: Congratulations Commander ! ::hands the box to Maor::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
CO: Hmm, thank-you. Captain, Admiral ::Takes the box, he nods at the direction of the Captain and the Admiral behind them::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles warmly again:: OPS: It sounds perfect
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Admiral Haydes> ::Smiles slight - which is odd for him and clears his throat:: ALL: I do have one more thing...Captain...
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO::  XO: Well earned, Commander...  ::turns to the Admiral and nods::  Quiet down everyone and pay attention Admiral Haydes...
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Admiral Haydes> ::Steps forward, his hands clasped behind his back. With a smile, he moves into the light and looks around at the assembled crew:: CO: Captain Black...attention!
Cmdr_Kaimana_Xia says:
<Admiral Haydes> CO: For your exemplary skills as a Commanding Officer, and your ability to keep control over this crew, you are to be commended. However, my duty here today is not to commend you, but to award you with this. ::He brings around his hand and pins an award on Black's uniform:: For exemplary heroism, and for injuries sustained in the line of duty, I am pleased to award you with the Purple Heart. Congratulations, Captain...
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles at the Admiral, a little bit shocked by getting an award he wasn't informed about::  Adm: Thank you Admiral !
CMO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::stands up and applauds his captain and whistles::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles and applauds the Captain, sure that if anyone deserves it - its him::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
CO: I think you deserved that one, Brian ::smiles::
EO_LtJG_O'Riley says:
::followd the CMOs example and stands up and applauds::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles::  All: Thank you everyone !   FCO: Thanks John...
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::applauds the captains achievement::
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
::stands next to Maor:: XO: So we heroes now or is it just me :;grins::
CO_Capt_Black says:
All: All Right, before we get mushy and all, dismissed, the Admiral and I have some things to discuss...
OPS_Ens_Moore says:
::stands and starts heading for the door, pausing for the CIV to join her::
XO_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: Heh, drinks on you then?
FCO_Lt_Exeter says:
XO: Why did I fall in to that one :;grins::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::stands up and follows Moore's lead, heading to the door after her::

ACTION - So, with the U.S.S. Eridanus in tow and her Green Star crew in custody, the U.S.S. Scimitar crew makes her way to their next temporary port along their journey. What adventures will come, they can never tell...and as to what will be done with Xia...only time will tell...
