Previously on Star Trek: A Call To Duty - USS Seleya ...

SCENE: The Seleya enters orbit of J'Karen V.

SCENE: Quick shots of the away team going down to the surface. Back on the ship, systems begin to fail as the Amalgam starship approaches the Seleya.

Balthazar says:
# COM: Seleya: Hello A'an.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Shakes the cobwebs from his mind and barks orders at the FCO. :: FCO;  Evasive action!  Get us out of here now!

SCENE: The battle between the Amalgam vessel and the Seleya, resulting in a severe battering. They escape to the Aidoree Nebula.

SCENE: Quick shots of the away team being ambushed on the surface. Morosea Da revealing herself.

SCENE: The CO alone with Morosea Da ...

Morosea`Da says
# CO: You said you've faced death. But what about the deaths of those who fall under your responsibility?

SCENE: Images of the crew dealing with the dead and dying on the battered Seleya.

Morosea`Da says:
# CO: Violence and conflict often perpetrate change. To ensure I ... evolve, I need a nemesis. One that is smart. One that is cunning. One that is ready for what is to come. And will stand in my way. ::Looks into her eyes:: I'm hoping that will be you.

SCENE: The CIV & CSO awaking on the planet and setting out to find a way to get to the CO. The CSO being hunted by giant hounds.

SCENE: The CIV splitting off to find out who's tracking them ...

Morosea`Da says:
::Smiles:: CO: Spoken like a true diplomat. Let's see if I can hold you to that ... you see, what I have in mind ... it's going to change everything. Not just the Seleya. Not just your vaunted Third Fleet. Not just Starfleet.

Morosea`Da says:
# CO: The whole Federation.

Morosea`Da says:
# CO: And I want you to talk me out of it.

And now, the continuation ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::sitting in the room alone, haunted by the uniforms hanging on the walls and by the decisions she has to take::

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::hums along to Hier Kommt Alex in his head as he attaches the blue wires, trying to jury-rig the maintenance panel with his phaser::::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Approaching the computer core, wondering in what state he will find it::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Continues tracking the five individuals while keeping himself to the shadows::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::wonders about Morosea'Da's true purpose. Much of what she said makes little sense though Alexandra will never take her for a fool::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Stands on the bridge of his vessel, staring at the visual of the Aidoree nebula before them::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::stumbling down from one of the computer's coolant pumps, cradling his gloved hands:: ::inside the gloves, his palms and fingers are cold-burned from the piping he had to reroute::

General Disdain says: 
$ ::The Charnokan steps up beside Balthazar::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: looking over the reports coming in from all over the ship, not liking them at all. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::gets up from her chair and starts inspecting the uniforms more closely. The woman is violent but she has a pattern ...::

OPS Ens. Gren says: 
XO: Shuttles Calvary, Avas, Vatican and Mamaev have been dispatched sir. They'll be reporting in with their telemetry soon.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Enters one of the coolant pump rooms, noticing Tana is there as well:: EO: Tana! Everything ok?

@ ACTION: Bzzzt. The doors swish open.

@ ACTION: And the CSO has an entrance.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
Ens. Gren:  Understood, let’s make sure were ready for their retrieval, we need to know what’s going on before we make any kind of plan of action.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::glances at the guards watching him as he slumps against one of the pumps:: ::looks up as his name is called:: OPS: Pump 2 is functional. Pump 1 is going to be down for awhile. But you should be able to bring the computers back up to full power now.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::grins to himself and steps inside, scanning with his tricorder::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::looks at the blood stains and tried to picture the scenes, she is not just looking for blood, she is looking for information, and challenge::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
*CNS*:  A'an to Gnav, councelor, I trust your back on your feet by now?

General Disdain says: 
$ Balthazar: Why the Maleficent?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::turns to look at the door through which her “host" left not that long ago and approaches it::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: EO: Temperature dropping?

@ ACTION: It is dry and dark in the room the CSO enters.

@ ACTION: Sunlight from outside illuminates pipes and wiring along the walls.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::shifts against the pump and turns to look at the readout, then looks back to Pandora and nods:: OPS: I need to find the lockouts they... I put in.

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::taps his badge:: *XO*: Sort of sir.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::starts looking for a power source, or a transporter::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::In sickbay knitting broken bones::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::runs her fingers along the edge looking for an irregularity she might use::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Shaken from his reverie, he turns to the Charnokan General:: Disdain: Oh, the name of our vessel? It comes from a story my mother used to tell me when I was younger ... Maleficent was a horrific witch who could turn into a giant winged beast. She would spit fire of vengeance upon the pretty sleeping one and her prince for what they had done.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
*CNS*:  Good enough, I need you and Ensign Tana to meet me in the Captains ready room as soon as possible.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
*EO*: Ensign Tana, if you have a moment, I need you to meet me in the Captains ready room.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods again:: EO: Take your time, better to do it right immediately than having to come back and fix mistakes... ::Smiles at the EO::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::takes a deep breath when she finds nothing and sits on the floor by the door resuming her mind puzzle: What does she want?::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Continues tracking the various clues the five figures has left behind them on the forest surface::

Balthazar says: 
$ Disdain: Just as I will spit my fire upon the Seleya.

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
*XO*: I'm on my stumbling way.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Turns to Pandora. :: *OPS*:  How’s the computer core holding up?

@ ACTION: The room is very simple. There is a transporter pad, with a nearby console. Everything is still powered down though. There is a staircase nearby, leading down into the darkness ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::if she just wanted an enemy she could have attacked the Seleya outright as she often had done before. Since she had decided to talk she must be looking for a deal .. or something else. She had mentioning looking for someone to talk her out of her Federation-altering plan. Why?::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::heads for the captain's ready room:: TL: Deck 1.

General Disdain says: 
$ ::Stares at the nebula:: Balthazar: Yet, you let them escape into that ...

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Smiles::

Balthazar says: 
$ Disdain: It's all part of the plan. Tell me, General, have you ever heard of the Mutara discipline?

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::tries to program his tricorder to emit light::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::uncurls his hand painfully to tap the badge:: *XO*: Aye sir. I'm on my way. OPS: Excuse me, Lieutenant. If you have any more problems, please let me know. ::pulls off the gloves and leaves them on the pump before making his way out of the pump room to the corridor::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: heads into the Captains ready room, hoping what he is planning works, and that they will not be horrified by it. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::Is she just playing games or does she want a Starfleet commander on her side when she strikes. This is about changing whose mind really?::

General Disdain says: 
$ ::Quirks eyebrow:: Balthazar: No.

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Starts to walk around the bridge:: Disdain: Some time ago, a brave starship Captain fought a man he could not defeat easily. To escape certain destruction ... he took his vessel into a nearby nebula, and fought his enemy where the enemy's vessel couldn't operate properly - on common ground.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: EO: Certainly... ::Turns to leave as well:: *XO*: We have some cooling operational now, and the core temperature is dropping slowly... I'm on my way back to the bridge now.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::looks around the room for the n-th time looking for a way out::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::arrives at the bridge and exits the TL::

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::moves towards the stairs::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::tries to ignore the men-at-arms following him down the corridor and stops at the turbolift, tapping the call button with a knuckle before squeezing inside:: TL: Bridge. ::moves to the side as the security officers slip in with him::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Like a professor, turns and points at the nebula on the viewscreen to emphasize his point:: Disdain: Since then, it has been common practice of Starfleet crews - when they are going to ground, to hide, to hide in a nebula if one is readily available. The Seleya did it the last time we fought.

General Disdain says: 
$ ::With growing realization:: Balthazar: You made sure there was a nebula nearby when we attacked ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Self: It’s a waiting game ::looks to the ceiling for cameras, though she probably can't detect them even if they do exist::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
*OPS*: Understood.  Keep me informed on the situation.  Our shuttles will be returning with information on the enemies position soon, be ready.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::settles for brightening the read-out screen to it's maximum setting, holding it before him as he walks down the stairs::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Grins:: Disdain: Yes. They'll realize why soon enough. ::A beeping is heard::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks around the computer core area for a moment before heading to a turbolift::

Maleficent CTO says: 
$ Balthazar: Sir ...

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::walks over to the ready room and rings the chime::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Self: Who designs starships with so many parts that could fall on people? ::sighs as he injects another member of the engineering department with some rexalin before applying dermaline gel to a burn wound.:: Page: Next time don't try to get trapped in close proximity to a fire!

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Walks over to the tactical console, and scratches his beard:: Interesting ...

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks up at the door. :: CNS: Come

Page says: 
::Grunts::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::enters the RR:: XO: Sir, you sent for me?

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Meanwhile, back on the planet ... she re-enters the CO's room, her hair is drenched, and she looks cold:: CO: Commander.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods. :: Come in Lieutenant.  We need to talk and we don’t have a lot of time.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::gets up a bit startled but regains her cool:: Morosea'Da: Went for a swim?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Enters the TL, ordering it to the bridge::

@ ACTION: The CIV suddenly hears a weapons burst and scream in the distance.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Inclement weather, I'm afraid.

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Shuts the door behind her::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Takes a deep breath and decides to dive right in. :: CNS:  I need you to extract some information from Ensign Tana.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Walks over to the next biobed and trips over a cube on the floor::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::walks over and sits down in one of the chairs, waiting for what to come::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::frowns::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::exits the lift on the bridge and makes his way to the captain's ready room and rings the chime::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Curses softly, immediately ducking for cover. Taking a cautious look around, he sprints down towards the scream sound::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
All: Who left that here?! Someone could really injure themselves!

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
: holds up his hand and speaks. :: EO:  Come

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morose'Da: I see...well, the weather is still one of our civilization's greatest challenges. Now, as much as I enjoy your hospitality can we discuss our...agreement?

ACTION: The troubled murmurs that have been filling the increasingly smelly sickbay stop for a moment as the CMO yells.

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Sits down in one of the two chairs, and gestures for the CO to do the same:: CO: Of course.

Cube says: 
::Chirps due to the CMO still lying on top of it::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::wants to ask something, but notices that Ensign Tana enters the RR::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::steps inside:: XO: Ensign Tana, reporting as ordered sir.

@ ACTION: The CIV enters a small clearing where he finds the mangled corpses of five Gamleasian mercenaries.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::sits as well looking at the other woman in the eyes:: Morosea'Da: You have my full attention

@ ACTION: Standing over their corpses are three robotic wolves.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
CNS:  I know what you’re thinking and I know what I'm asking, but were in a world of hurt here and believe me when I say we are out of options.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
EO:  Ensign, I'm going to ask you for something that makes my stomach churn, but it may be the only way we can regain control of the ship in time.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Gets up and puts the cube on the highest shelf in sickbay:: Self: Finally some peace and quiet in here.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Exits the TL on the bridge and looks around for a moment, before walking to his console::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
XO: Sir, you are aware of my telepathic abilities and especially my abilities for memory retrieval. Is that what you wanted me for?

OPS Ens. Gren says: 
OPS: Sir, we're still monitoring the shuttles as they skirt the nebula to track the enemy ship. ::Gets away from the console::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::flinches internally, but remains stoic externally, staring at a spot on the wall behind Aan:: XO: Whatever it takes, Commander.

Dr. Grey says: 
::Comes up on the CMO with a sigh. He looks exhausted:: CMO: 71 dead.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: I'm going to be taking action that ... may prove disruptive to the lives of everyone in the Alpha Quadrant.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Slows down, taking cautious looks around before slowly putting distance between himself and the robots:: Self: Not again. ::Completely turns around in his spot, as he begins running down the path he just came though::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Grey: That many? This is getting to be as bad as the last time Balthazar attacked.

@ ACTION: The robotic wolves look up, and start to bound after the CIV.

Dr. Grey says: 
::Rubs his eyes::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Takes a seat in his chair and pulls up some updated information on the systems status::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods. :: CNS:  It may be the only chance we have.  believe me when I say I am the last person who would ever consider this, but we're running out of time.  Balthazar isnt going to let us stay in here forever and without control of the ship, we won’t survive, much less rescue the Captain and the away team.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Continues running:: *CSO*: Have you secured the location we've spotted? ::Jumps over a fallen log::

@ ACTION: The CSO finds a row of generators, all powered down.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: But I assume you have a very profitable reason to do it. What do you have in mind? ::tries to look calm and curious, she is curious but hardly calm::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::nods:: XO: I understand.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::grins to himself and starts inspecting the generators, looking for a what to turn them on::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::listens to Aan and Gnav discuss him like a problem to be solved::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
EO:  I need you to be aware of what this means.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::taps his combadge as an afterthought:: *CIV*: Uh, yes sir... just trying to restore power to the transporter.

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Smiles and leans back:: CO: No, no, no Commander ... I'm not going to tell you all the details of my plan. All I will tell you is that in the long run ... people are going to die. And worlds will change. So ... what do you say to that?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::still staring at the spot:: XO: I believe I understand what is at stake, sir.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Returns to the injured::

@ ACTION: The wolves dash past trees and over logs ... trying to keep up with the CIV, and closing in fast.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
EO:  They may have set up psychological barriers to prevent you from remembering, but the information is still in your mind.  I'm no expert, but considering who were dealing with, they won’t make it easy to find.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::sighs softly, setting his tricorder on the ground as he takes hold of one of the levers, turning them as fast as he can to generate a charge::

@ ACTION: The CSO finds the levers aren't too easy to move.

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::prepares himself for the concentration it takes::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: Evolution has to be a slow process so that the best choices can be correctly chosen. I do not think radical changes are good and I am certain no loss of life is for the best. Can you at least tell me what is the end result...what is in it for you?

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
CNS:  What kind of danger are we looking at?  You’re the expert here, so I'll defer to you.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns at one of the messages being displayed in the system log:: *XO*: Pandora to A'an... We have lost contact with our four shuttlecraft...

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: I restore myself to what I was ... and what I should have always been. A leader.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::groans, thinking that he needed to spend more time in the gym:: Levers: Come on...

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Curses as he hears them gaining on him:: *CSO* I'm heading your way, with company. You have a few minutes before all hell breaks loose, Lieutenant. And I mean it. ::Increases his running speed as he gains momentum and hurls himself up a low branch at a random tree as he begins jumping from branch to branch::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::schools himself for the coming mental onslaught, unable to get out of his mind the memory of what Khrysaros did::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::As he walks past, a hand shoots up from one of the biobeds, grabbing Paul:: Self: What? ::Looks down, seeing a frightened crewman with a black tag around his neck::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Frowns and taps his combadge. :: *OPS*:  Were they able to transmit anything?

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
XO: It mainly can cost me a lot of energy, but I don't think there should be a lot of problems. Although I'd like the doctor to monitor our signs.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: Power has motivated many in the past. Those who have taken it by force, either lost it or what they gained was not enough. Do you want to lead dead and unhappy people?

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::sighs once again, snapping the first lever up and moving to the next one:: *CIV*: You should know that I no longer have a phaser; I had to dismantle it to get the doors open.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
*XO*: Unknown sir... If they have, we did not pick it up... We completely lost contact with them..

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Smiles and gives him another shot of painkillers, waiting for him to pass out and relax his grip before moving on::

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Do you?

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::starts turning the second one, putting more of his back into it::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods. :: CNS/EO:  Understood, I'll leave it to you then.  :: Turns to Tana. :: EO:  We'll sort this out after we get the Captain back and are on our way home, I promise you.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: No. That is why I do my best to keep them healthy and content, while weighing that against the good of the Federation, which is Starfleet's final goal

@ ACTION: One of the wolves darts ahead of the CIV's path, and remarkably snaps it's legs into weird positions to climb up a tree to intercept the CIV.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Do you think they have faith in you, Alex?

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
All:  I need to get back to the bridge, I think we may officially be out of time.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@*CSO*: Doesn't matter, won't do any good against what's after me. At least not on the short run. ::Pulls himself up a branch after a near fall:: Self: I'm getting too old for this stuff.. ::Looks down in shock at the Wolf's direction:: *CSO*: I don't think I'm going to make it on time, do you have the place powered up yet? ::Pulls his phaser off and begins firing blindly at the wolf's direction as he continues jumping trees::

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::breathes heavily, snapping the second lever into place, taking a moment before moving on to the next one::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: Those that know me, yes. The others have faith in Starfleet command. And on my ship I represent Starfleet ... so yes. They have faith in me

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks at the blinking button at the top right corner of his console:: *XO*: We are being hailed, sir...

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Turns and heads back out onto the bridge. :: OPS:  I need to know the shuttles position when we lost contact, maybe we can get something from.....

@ ACTION: The phaser fire strikes the wolf a few times as it deftly jumps from branch to branch, coming at the CIV. The other two gather below.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Does Starfleet have faith in you?

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::speakes as he cranks:: *CIV*: Not... just... yet...

EO Ens Tana says: 
::glances at Gnav:: CNS: Do you need me to sit, sir?

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
::Clenches his teeth and nods, knowing in his gut what’s coming. :: OPS:  On screen.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Taps a button to put the hail on the main viewer::

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
EO: I think we'd better go to sickbay or have the doc get up here. I'd like our vital signs to be monitored.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::blinks and hesitates a moment:: Morosea'Da: If they didn't, they would not have given me the Seleya. Where are you really getting at Morosea'Da?

ACTION: Balthazar appears on screen. He holds a battered FCO Emily Kerrigan nearby, by her hair.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::snaps the third lever into place, and moves to the fourth, taking a deep breath before starting on the lever::

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Leans forward:: CO: Well I'm just saying ... if Command really had faith in you ... you'd have a FOURTH pip.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::blinks:: CNS: Yes, Lieutenant.

Balthazar says: 
$ COM: Seleya: Commander ... I really do hate that you put such innocents in harm’s way.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::snaps the fourth into place, starting to feel warn:: Self: Just three more... ::moves to the fifth::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks at the screen as Balthazar appears again::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::had been wondering for a long time about that as well ... she is good:: Morosea'Da: I am young, I need more experience. I have faith in Starfleet, I do not question their decisions like that. I follow them as long as they agree to what I signed up for. I never signed up to be captain. I am very proud to be the commanding officer of the Seleya. That’s all the trust I need

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Closes his eyes for a second then spits his words. :: Balthazar:  You didn’t seem to mind on Fret Jah, Captain.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Leaps from his place on top of the branch down towards the next branch, immediately changing his destination by puling all his weight to one side as grabs a hold on the branch and swinging himself towards another random branch:: *CSO*: Find a way to seal your location, Lieutenant. If they'll get me they'll come after you next.

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Smiles:: COM: Seleya: I'm proud of you, A'an. You have grown. Such fire. You will make a commanding leader provided you leave this confrontation with your life.

@ ACTION: The wolves keep up. Then suddenly stop ... a voice calls out, "Hello, Mr. Maor."

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
Balthazar:  We could always settle this face to face.  I would like that a lot actually.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::struggles with the last pump before locking it in, slumping against the generator slightly:: Self: Come on... you wuss... ::tries to get some music playing in his head to motivate him::

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Makes a noise:: CO: Such naiveté ... you are lead by fools. Starfleet Command has no idea you and the Seleya are here. You're truly alone.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Pauses at the sound of the voice, giving his surroundings a curious look at the oddly familiar voice:: Out loud: Who's there?

@ ACTION: An unfamiliar bulky Klingon with one arm steps out from the trees ... the robotic wolves sit near him, and he pets one of them.

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: Your name is Maor, right?

Balthazar says: 
$ COM: Seleya: All in due time. Now, a punishment ... ::Pulls out a blade and holds it to Kerrigan's throat. A single tear escapes her eyes, but she doesn't say anything::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::loud and confident now:: Morosea'Da: They trained us to work alone! And while they live my crew will fight to keep the Seleya running and stopping supposed to-be-leaders from killing sentient beings. You brought me here to break my trust in starfleet? You will have to do better than that

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Shakes his head slowly. :: Balthazar:  Don't.......

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::pushes the sixth into place, trying to keep himself running:: Self: Last one... come on...

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Ignoring the XO's inevitable pleas:: Kerrgain: Any last words Emily?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Narrows his eyes at the stranger's direction:: Klingon: And you are? ::Arranges his legs on top of the branch, giving the three wolfs a studying look before returning his attention to the Klingon::

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: My name is unimportant. I want to apologize for my companions here ... they thought you were with Morosea Da's group. They were not supposed to kill you. A warrior such as yourself deserves a better fate.

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@ Self: One... Two... Three... f-four... ::his arms shake::

FCO Emily Kerrigan says: 
$ ::Gulps and builds up her confidence for one last thing. She looks straight at her friends on the Seleya bridge:: COM: Seleya: The Griffon ... has ... a mighty shield. But there is a crack ...

@ ACTION: CLUNK! The CSO succeeds. And suddenly, all the generators start to whir to life. One by one.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Opens his eyes wide::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Raises eyebrow:: FCO: Strange choice. ::Slash::

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::stumbles back from the generator, giving his arms a moment to rest before picking up his tricorder, moving to the stairs:: *CIV*: I've restored power...

ACTION: And the FCO, Emily Kerrigan, dies a brutal death on the screen. She slumps to the floor.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Roars at the screen. :: balthazar: YOU WANT A FIGHT YOU BASTARD, YOU'VE GOT ONE!!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Shows no indication that the "Morosea Da" name wasn't familiar to him:: Klingon: What are you doing here... ::Pauses:: wherever “here” is? ::Narrows his eyes at his direction::

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Wipes the blood from his blade::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Closes his eyes as Balthazar strikes::

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Stands up:: CO: The true question is. Should Starfleet have faith in you?

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::taps his badge:: *CMO*: Gnav to Dr. Atreides. Have you got some time? I need to have someone monitoring our vital signs.

Balthazar says: 
$ COM: Seleya: Temper, temper, A'an. Not in front of the children.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@*CSO*: Understood, see if you can figure out the transporter controls.

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: I am here to rescue you, warrior.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::gets up as well following Morosea'Da's eyes with her own:: Morosea'Da: Yes, of that I am certain. All I do is in the best interests of the Federation and her citizens

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::moves to the panel near the pad, working to get the transporter online::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: :: Snarls. :: Balthazar:  I'm going to send you to hell William.... :: Smiles evily. :: ...Maybe you'll see your wife there.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
*CNS*: I hope you realise En..Counsellor that I have a sickbay full of injured right now.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Really? Because you've been letting them down ... letting multiple traitors run amongst the population of your ship ...

Balthazar says: 
$ ::Grits teeth:: COM: Seleya: I ... I'll be seeing you soon, A'an. ::Cuts communication::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@Klingon: Last time I checked I was doing alright, if it weren't for your companions over there. ::Gestures towards the three wolves:: Beside.. ::Considers his options:: How did you know I'd end up here?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks at his console:: XO: Sir.. We have been able to pinpoint the location of the transmission..!

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: There is much we do not know in our Church. The time of change is upon us. The Seven is Coming.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Glares at the blank screen for a moment. :: Balthazar:  Damn right you will.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::moves a step closer:: Morosea'Da: They have been a problem yes. It seems the Seleya is a particularly wanted ship and so we get to fight the worse enemies. But we have been managing and I am sure that if A'an still lives he is managing your associates just as well

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
*CMO*: I know that, never mind I asked, but I wanted to have some security for what I'm about to do.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Turns to Pandora. :: OPS:  Feed it into the tactical computer, and see if you can do anything with it, I'm getting our ship back right now.

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Raises eyebrow:: CO: I'll let you in on a little secret, Alex ... I was responsible for a lot of the trouble on your ship. But not all of it.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods, entering the coordinates into the computer::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Storms into the Captains Ready room. ::  *CMO*:  I want a nurse or a doctor or YOU in this room RIGHT DAMN NOW!!!

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
*CNS*: What *ARE* you going to do? Stop being cryptic man.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@Klingon: Seven. Right. ::Considers his options:: And you were sent here to help.. Me, us? Against that Seven fellow? ::Scoffs:: How do I know this isn't some trap? Last time I checked no one was able to tame those beasts, nothing human anyway.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: The others will reveal themselves, as you have. Why haven't you killed me? really? Is it true that all you want is to lecture me and put me in your path of destruction?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Sighs:: *XO*: On my way.

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
*CMO*: I'm about to do some memory retrieval, which can cause some mental stress, especially in this case.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
CNS:  We're on the clock as of right now; start the process, the doctor will be here shortly.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
CNS:  Find what we need.  :: Storms out of the room. ::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Suddenly realises something:: XO: Sir... The Griffon... Some of Balthazar's ship is made up of parts from that ship.. What if they are using their shield generators, and as such have that crack?

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: I don't want you dead, Alex.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Self: Wouldn't want the great one to die from a little paper cut. ::Nods at grey and leaves sickbay, covered in blood and gore, carrying a dishevelled looking medkit into the lift with him:: TL: Bridge.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
OPS:  What’s the status on our rear torpedo launchers?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: I am not worthy of your nice uniform collection? What is it that you want of me then?

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::turns to Tana:: EO: Don't worry. I'll try to get the information without causing you any problems. But I haven't done this with this hurry before.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
XO: Stand by... ::Checks their status reports::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
*CNS*: get someone who managed to pass basic first aid to do it. Atreides out.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Someone to stand in my way ... in case I go too far. In case I'm wrong. In case what I have planned ... in case, it doesn't have the result it should.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::picks a chair and sits:: CNS: It's fine, sir. Do what you have to to make the ship safe.

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: Just you, Maor.

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
EO: Just sit down here and focus on freeing your mind. ::sits down himself too and begins concentrating for access to Tana's memory::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Steps out onto the bridge and looks for the XO, dripping blood on the carpet. "The joys of emergency surgery."::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#Morosea'Da: Then you didn't have to bring me all the way here to tell me that. I will stand in your path as long as I am breathing and Starfleet gives me the means. Whatever happens I know you will not succeed in your plan of destruction. Now if you shared your ideas with me I am also certain I could help you come up with a reasonable solution

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Shoots a thumb over to the captain’s ready room and turns back to Pandora. ::

ACTION: The Seleya rumbles, as there is an explosion in the nebula.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@Klingon: You'll forgive me if I'll remain sceptical for now... ::Pauses, considering matters:: Why me?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Trudges into the RR and settles into one of the comfy guest chairs::

TO Sing says: 
XO: They're firing photonic charges into the nebula, sir ...

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: You are special, Maor. You have walked through the valley of death multiple times ... and come away unscathed.

Morosea`Da says: 
# CO: Will you?

CNS LtJG Gnav says: 
::feels that the EO has got quite some telepathic insults in the past which makes finding the thing he needs to find very difficult::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::tries to concentrate on the ship's computer and what could be wrong with it::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods, grinning evilly to himself again. :: All:  Look who's having a temper tantrum.  Good, get mad you butcher, we're coming for you.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
XO: Rear torpedoes are fluctuating sir... One tube operational, the other still needs work.. And the operational one has had some half an hour downtime in the last fifty minutes or so.. So not very reliable... They were not a high priority with the problems we had on the computer core and other items...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::not sure which of the questions but answers without doubt:: Morosea'Da: Yes

Morosea`Da says: 
# ::Leaves that open ended, and moves to exit the room::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@Klingon: I'm getting tired of those riddles, Klingon. Who are you? And what's that church you're talking about?

Klingon says: 
@ CIV: Why, the Church of Recurrent Tragedy, warrior.

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
OPS:  They are now.  I need those torpedoes.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Looks around the office:: Self: I'm going to have to change the colour scheme some day. ::shudders::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods, sending the revised priority list to engineering::

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
aFCO:  Move us just before the edge of the nebula, and drop us 10000 meters off the y axis, maintain position for a flyby assault once we clear the nebula.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::as soon as Morosea'Da opens the door she jumps on the other woman trying to bring her to the ground, if possible unconscious::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
@Klingon: Should that name mean anything to me?

XO Cmdr Aan says: 
OPS:  Find that crack.

Morosea`Da says: 
# Oof! ::As the door opens, she falls to the ground with the CO on her back::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Self: Maybe a liquor cabinet in that corner...

CSO LtJG Sumner says: 
@::inputs coordinates for the main facility, tapping his combadge:: *CIV*: Everything is ready, Commander.

Klingon says: 
@ Maor: In time, Maor, in time.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
#::immobilizes her with an arm on her throat and then punches her face, shoving her inside the room. Then looks for the only handle that seems to be controlling the door and actions it, hoping to close the door. Either way she runs through the stairs::

# ACTION: The door slams, leaving Morosea behind ... the CO runs up ... and finds herself on craggy rocks, with a roaring, freezing ocean before her ...
