Episode 236 “Kept In The Dark, Part 4”: While the USS Luna is busy trying to locate their still missing XO, a select number of crew have been sent to investigate the disappearance of the USS Fair.  Upon discovering the Fair they have found her heavily damaged, having apparently had a run in with an asteroid.  It now appears that the USS Fair is in fact a SFI prison vessel, carrying none other than Lieutenant Blake, the officer the crew "put away" several months earlier and the Away Team have walked right into his trap.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::feverishly trying to fix the transporter::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Quietly evaluating the situation and learning what she can as she is being held.::
Host LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: Hisses softly in the SO's ear ::  SO: Stop struggling, Lieutenant.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::mumbles:: Self: C'mon, you little of piece of............technology, work already!
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Since she was being perfectly still, she looks at the man out of the corner of her eye as if he is mad.::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@Ibekwe: May ask what you intend to do next?
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@SO: It's not what I'm going to do - it's you, Lieutenant.  Call that stupid dog MacPherson and tell him to stand down and stay out of the way
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@Ibekwe: I did not bring any dogs with me.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ Ibekwe: As for MacPherson, he does what he will.  He never consults others.  :: annoyance in her voice.::

ACTION: On the FCO's sensors the USS Beowulf appears, heading towards their location at maximum warp and a little bit more, her ETA is 42 minutes.

LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@SO: I'd rather he be told to stand down.  We have work to do, and unless he'd like to stand in the line of fire, he'd get out of the way.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::hears the sensors beep and heads over to check seeing their rescuers will be there shortly, or so she hopes::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Really wishes she knew who was crew to be trusted and who was not and how MacPherson was fairing.:: Ibekwe: Be my guest to ask him.  I wish you better luck then I.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::runs back to fiddling with the transporter::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: What do you want with us?
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: Wonders how to get MacPherson's attention ::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::stands perched against the bulkhead:: CIV: I don't want you, I want your little runabout.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan still hiding behind a fallen bulkhead::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: Sorry buddy, no can do
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: Do you have your little lap dog with you. Blake?
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::calls past the CIV down the corridor:: Ibekwe: Do you have her?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ Ibekwe: No...
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::decides to give up and heads back to the front plopping into her chair and plotting a course to intercept the Beowulf figuring sitting ducks out here won't do any good either::
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: Quietly ::  SO: If you play along, you won't get hurt.  I give you my word.  ::  Carefully but with an outward show of force, grabs the SO and picks her up, and wraps an arm around her ::  Blake: I've got her!
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: My orders are to make sure that you are delivered to Starfleet Intelligence to stand trial for your illegal cloning
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Here eyes widen as she is picked up.  She is rather tall, unlike commander Singh.::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@CIV: Captain, you have no idea what you are going to.  Now lower your weapon and I guarantee both of you will be unharmed.  Basic hostage situation Captain, would you be responsible for her death?
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::opens channel:: COM: Beowulf: Beowulf, come in,. This is Cmdr. Shania.
Host Captain_Holt says:
#COM: FCO: This is Captain Holt.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: Silver can take care of herself, trust me!
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Still greatly outnumbered, outgunned and now being carried, she looks and waits for some cue as her next move... or if she should even make one.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan thinks, boy can she ever take care of herself. That's why I like her, takes nobody's crap::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
COM: Holt: Captain, they are using transporter inhibitors so I can't beam my people back. Can you scan the ship and pinpoint the locations and possibly take them out?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@:: Just barely hearing MacPherson's response, actually smiles::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@CIV: Not today.  Now, unfortunately I am on a very tight schedule and I can't stand around chatting all day.  If you want to protect your Federation then trust me, you have to let me get off of this ship.  The repercussions if don't get to where I need to go are... catastrophic.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ Ibekwe: It sounds like I might be on my own... I did warn you.  So now what do you plan on doing?
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@CIV: Captain, we're not joking here.  :: Gives a convincing motion with his weapon, hoping Silver will plead with him ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: The only way that I'd let you go, is if you became a spy for SFI
Host Captain_Holt says:
#COM: FCO: Who is using transport inhibitors? We are still 28 minutes away; we can’t take anything out from here
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Marcus: How can I trust you or take what you say at face value?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ ::sighs as she simply relaxes against the man, more of a dead weight.::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@CIV: We both know you wouldn't believe me.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::bites back a rather nasty comment:: COM: Holt: Whomever has control of the ship attacked the SO and CIV. Never mind, I’ll figure it out for myself. Shania out. ::cuts the comm::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::calls past the CIV again:: Ibekwe: Shoot him, I... I mean we don't have time for this.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan briefly pops out from behind the bulkhead and fires in front of him, quickly turns and fires behind him::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Hearing the firing decides that is her cue and kicks back at the man holding her, at the same time, reaching up and boxing his ears.::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::scans the Fair to see if she can find the location of the inhibitors::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan ducks back behind the bulkhead::

@ACTION: Lt Doku is struck and falls, at the opposite end of the corridor the CIVs shot successfully manages to strike the SO square between the shoulders

LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: Grunts at the SO's attack, and then sees her hit by the CIV's shot ::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
@ :: Collapses unconscious::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan tries to contact Shania and taps his combadge:: FCO: Now would be a good time to get us out of here
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan briefly pops out from behind the bulkhead once more and fires in front of him, quickly turns and fires behind him::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::carefully at the coming bad guys at both ends::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
*CIV* You are not saying?! Unfortunately, your friends over there are using transporter inhibitors which kind of complicate things on my end.

@ACTION: This time his opponents are ready for him, as he turns he is hit by no less than 3 phaser shots, all centered on his chest.

LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: Drops to the deck, trying to fire back at his position ::  Blake: Get out of here, we'll hold him down.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan falls against the bulkhead::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::finally the sensors pick up the inhibitors::
Host Lt_Blake says:
@::moves over to the body of the CIV and bends over him:: Ibekwe: Some people don't understand when they are beaten.  Deactivate the inhibitors; we need to get out of here.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::aims phasers, pondering the idea of firing at an already badly damaged ship for a few seconds then decides to do it anyways hoping she gets lucky::
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
@:: nods :: Blake: Right.  :: moves off ::

@ACTION: The Fair is hit by the runabout’s phasers; inside the ship rocks violently and alarms begin blaring

ACTION: On the runabout the FCO detects that the inhibitor field has a hole in it, enough to get the CIV and SO out

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Self: Finally!! ::locks onto the CIV and SO and attempts to beam them out::

ACTION: On the runabout two people appear, the first is the SO, unconscious, the second is Lt Blake; he raises his phaser and fires.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::dives off her chair::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::tries to grab a phaser from somewhere while flying all over the place::

ACTION: The FCO is not fast enough and is struck in the chest, she falls into unconsciousness.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::thinks 'And it was just beginning to look good' before losing consciousness::

ACTION: Time passes - How long is not known but the FCO, CIV and SO all open their eyes slowly, they appear to be in a Starship’s sickbay.

LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
:: Standing near the SO, his arms across his chest ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::wakes up rubbing his chest, noticing his combadge is missing::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Slowly opens her eyes, all of her aching.  It does not take much to realize what had happened.  As her eyes focus, she sees Ibekwe standing above her.::
Host Captain_Holt says:
All: Welcome back.  You are onboard the USS Beowulf.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::rolls over, hurting::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::rubbing his chest:: Holt: Did... did Marcus get away?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Hearing the voice, slowly sits up to see who is talking.::
Host Nurse_Bayley says:
::catches the FCO before she rolls off the biobed:: FCO: Easy now.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Looks over at MacPherson, then at Ibekwe::
Host Captain_Holt says:
CIV: Yes he did, I will leave Commander Ibekwe here to fill you in on all the details.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::slowly her surroundings comes into focus, she realizes that the rolling over would have made her hurt even more::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::rubbing his chest:: Holt: Doesn’t matter, I have tracking devices placed very well hidden on all Luna runabouts and shuttles. We'll find him
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::mumbles a thank you to the nurse and lays back::
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
All: Although it's a bit of a pride buster, our goal was to get Blake to escape.  Lieutenant Silver, had you cooperated, we might have been able to get him to leave without getting anyone injured... we didn't know if he would shoot to stun or kill.
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
All: We're still not certain who Blake is working for.... or how he managed to turn officers who we thought were secure.
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Ibekwe: So you endangered our lives for a criminal?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ibekwe: Let him get away?  Are you nuts?  My orders were to make sure he made it back to SFI HQ for further interrogation and them be placed on trial for his crimes against the Federation
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Looks at Ibekwe with a frown.  Technically she did cooperate.  She did not do otherwise until someone fired.  And then as luck would have it, she was the one shot.::
LtCmdr_Ibekwe says:
CIV: Your orders were out of date and superseded.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Lies back down.  Not that she would not have done something else had the opportunity arose. How was she to know what was going on.:: Ibekwe: You know... life would be so much simpler if people let other people know what was going on instead of thinking we are all telepaths.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan lays back down and thinks that one Admiral needs to have a talking with::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
:has the nasty wish to hit someone real badly right about now and eyes Ibekwe thinking 'yep, he would do'::
Host Captain_Holt says:
All: Obviously Lt Blake has escaped with your runabout; we will lend you one of ours so you can return to the Luna, I am sure you will want to find your missing crewmember
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Holt: And we will unless that is just a part of another agenda we don't know anything about.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan sits up and tries to get off the biobed and walk out of Sickbay to find a comm terminal::
Host Nurse_Bayley says:
::firmly stops the CIV:: CIV: Not just yet, we have a few more tests to run.
Host Captain_Holt says:
FCO: We all have agendas Commander, surely you have realized that by now.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::This Scotsman knows when he's beat, THIS TIME, and lays back down::
FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Holt: Sure, I have. Enough to know whom to trust around here anyways.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Says nothing, totally disgusted with the system at the moment and knowing it will probably be useless, intends to officially file a report.::
