Missing in Action

Summary:  
	Monroe and his team have made it down to planet and have learned of Konbar’s treachery, though given he is the enemy, is it really treachery?  They are heading for the encampment where Aaron tries to figure out a way to help out Rose.  But the team is in danger of discovery.  The Alliance knows someone is heading their way, they have sent out search parties.  And Monroe saw to the destruction of his transportation.
After warning the commander that reviving Trigger could cause heart failure, the doctor proceeded as ordered.  With the sound of Trigger’s death in her ears, the guards took the devastated Rose down to the planet where they proceeded to interrogate her about Knight… of which she can truthfully say she has no idea.

Time Lapse:
    30 minutes

Mission Facts:
•	We will begin mission with Monroe’s group at the base of the hilly terrain, not too much the worse for wear.  The compound is out in the open, a half a kilometer away.
•	The compound is has many guard towers about as well as guards walking around it at the base.
•	The compound is standard, with one section holding the prisoners barracks on one said of the main road and on the other, is the command and guards barracks.  At one end is the officer’s mess hall and at the other end is the prisoner’s mess hall.  Not far from the command post, which is centrally located, there is a small landing field with a few shuttles.
•	Rose will be in a holding cell.

Announcements:
•	February is coming to a close… please catch up on missing logs
•	It is with a heavy heart I have agreed to step down from the Nighthawk as SM.  There were many reasons for my final decision  But I will not abandon the Nighthawk just yet.  I will continue to run her for the mirror wide while Jim looks for a new SM.  If you know of anyone interested, please let us know.

Last Mission on the Nighthawk…

Do to careless fire fighting aboard the dilapidated station, heavy fire damage occurred.  It will be a while before the station is usable again. Most people evacuated, some just in time.  In order to save the Blue Diamond and Caelan, Rose took it away from the station, only to find she had inadvertently, well, there really had been no choice, given themselves over to the Alliance.

Rose and Caelan are being taken down to Altira V for questioning.  Caelan's minor wounds have been seen to and he is slowly stirring awake.  His eyes first sight is that of a Cardassian medic leaning over him… not a pretty sight.  Rose stands near by, trying not to fret as two guards stand on either side of her.

Expelled forcefully from the station as the docking bay they were on breached, the rebel vessel managed to avoid the Alliance warship as nothing more then jetsam.  Can they be as lucky getting through the prison planets barriers as they are head own to Altira V to follow through with rescuing Aaron Knight?

Varesh has been patched up from the disrupter wound.  He is weak.  Tulpen watches as Jackson takes the shuttle down to a mountain range on the planet, waiting for Monroe's explanation.  Monroe stands tensely watching the screen, knowing he has been betrayed, but by whom?

Aboard they have an unexpected and unwanted guest, Konbar.  Yet it is also possible he could be of use to the rebels.  That is yet to be seen.  For now, he has activated his commlink as a distress beacon and placed it behind one of the consoles, waiting to see what happens next.

On the planet, Knight feels his situation growing more difficult.  Each new event has him looking harder for a way for him and Aidan to escape.  He tries to keep a low profile, but some of the guards make it hard.  It is an automatic death sentence should they ever learn he is Betazoid.  So if they do not make their move soon…

Sid Monroe Stardate 10802.23: We have arrived on the planet prison where I have been told that there is a pilot here that will help us with this mission to take back earth.

<<<<<<<<<< Mirror Universe: Beginnings V >>>>>>>>>>

Christina Tulpen says:
::unstraps herself from the seat in front and goes to the back of the shuttle looking for Monroe::
Brianna Rose says:
# :: Staying very still, like the cornered mouse she feels like.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: That turned out ok, though I wonder how much of it is pure luck. What’s your plan?
Aaron Knight says:
@::walks to his bunk, clutching his side::
Aidan says:
@ ::sees Aaron and runs over to him::  Aaron:  What happened?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Sits back:: Tulpen: We will be breaking someone out of jail.
 
# ACTION: Caelan, seeing the Cardassian hovering over him considers he is dead and gone to hell, falling back to unconsciousness.

Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: I saw a prison complex when we were landing. It sounds good, do you have anyone on the inside? a guard maybe?
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: We have him ::Points to Konbor:: He can get us in.
Aaron Knight says:
@::grimaces::  Aidan:  I'll be okay.  Seems that a guard just wanted to take his frustrations out on me.  More winded than anything.  ::tries to smile up at Aidan::

#ACTION: The Cardassian medic is ordered to wake him up again.  He shrugs and gets the required material.

Christina Tulpen says:
::smiles at the prisoner leaning forward, then turns to Monroe, whispering:: Sid: Those people can not be trusted
Aidan says:
@::helps Aaron take off his shirt and notices a lot of bruising::  Aaron:  You sure you're okay?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Whispers:: Tulpen: Yes, I know, once his usefulness is done then we will get rid of him.
 
ACTION: The homing signal picked up, a small vesel heads toward the planet in search of it, after warning the commander of the prison.

#ACTION: The Cardassian medic looks at the guard and gives him a warning, which is naturally ignored.  He injects the human.

Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Yeah, I'll be fine.  I've had worse things done to me.....especially here in this place.  One tends to tolerate and get used to the pain.  ::lays down in his bunk as he looks to see Aidan standing up over him::
Brianna Rose says:
# :: Hearing what is said, she starts to move toward Caelan::  No... :: As the two guards grab her she struggles.::  Stop that.. you will kill him...
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods smiling, looking from one to the other:: Sid: Where do you need me?
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at a blinking light on the navigation console and goes check:: Sid: we have company. A search vessel of some sort is approaching. How could they have found us so soon?
Brianna Rose says:
# Guards:  Please... please... let me go, don't hurt him...
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: I need you... What?
Konbor says:
::Looking around on the shuttle.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: we are supposed to be hidden here! But somehow they are approaching us. Maybe someone put a homing device on your ship while you were away
 
# ACTION: As the drama unfolds below, the shields to the prison open into a small area, allowing the transport vessel to land with its two prisoners.

Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: Or ... ::looks at Konbor::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods:: Tulpen: Take him outside.  I am going to see if I can conceal this craft.
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods and grabs Konbor by the arm;; Konbor: Follow me! ::puts her hood back and opens the exit door::
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Aidan, you're not going to be any good to us if you're going to worry like you do.  Here, have a seat at the edge of the bunk and let's just try to forget about my injuries.
Konbor says:
::Looks out of one eyes at Christina, but does not show she might be right.::
 
# ACTION: One of the guards backhands Rose, flying her head backward and briefly shutting her up.

Christina Tulpen says:
::exits the shuttle onto the rocky ground and motions for Monroe that he can leave::
Konbor says:
::Walks with Christina. Knowing that the device is hidden. Not in him.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks up to the console and hits a few buttons to turn off the engine.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: So what do you want with us lowly humans? ::deliberately hides there are betazoids aboard::
Brianna Rose says:
# :: blinks back the tears of pain and despair::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Heads out of the shuttle::
Aidan says:
@ ::gets up::  Aaron:  Okay, but let me go get something before I sit back down.  ::takes a shirt and leaves::
 
# ACTION: Trigger's heart goes into arrest, the medic only does so much, after all, he is only human.

Konbor says:
::Smiles.:: Christina: Well, you know we need good workers.
 
# ACTION: Two guards come aboard the transport to take the prisoners away.

Christina Tulpen says:
::looks menacingly at Konbor but does not dignify him with an answer:: Sid: Do you think that will hide the shuttle?
Aidan says:
@::returns and places the now wet shirt he ran under hot water on Aaron's abdomen::  Aaron:  That feel somewhat better?
Sid Monroe says:
::Pulls his disruptor and points it at Konbor:: Konbor: Where is the transmitter?
Brianna Rose says:
# :: Realizing Caelan is dead she starts to struggle harder only to be backhanded and flung against the wall.  She can feel herself slowly sliding down it as a blackness descends on her.::
Aaron Knight says:
@::looks up at Aidan and smile::  Aidan:  Feels good.  Now where would I be if you weren't here? 
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at Konbor as well, cracking her knuckles::

# ACTION: The prison guard yells out, enough and goes to lift the barely conscious female over his shoulder.

Aidan says:
@ ::lets out a smile to help hide his worry::  Aaron:  I'll tell you where you'd be.....you probably would have been served up as dinner by now!
Konbor says:
Christina:  You know, that is what the Cardassians want, but I do not follow them in all their thoughts.
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  I doubt that very seriously, but I'm glad you're here and we're both on the same side.
 
@ ACTION: Commotion is heard out in the compound as prisoners watch one of the guards with an unconscious female slung over his shoulder entering the interrogation room; they are glad it is not them.

Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: Are you denying you put a transmitter aboard our shuttle?
 
ACTION: Varesh, sitting weakly off to the side, drawing strength, watches and after a moment, he asks Tulpen over.

Aaron Knight says:
@::lifts his head up as he hears the commotion outside::  Aidan:  Wonder what's going on now.
Konbor says:
Christina: What is that?
Christina Tulpen says:
::leaves Monroe with the Cardassian and walks over to Varesh::
Christina Tulpen says:
::ignores Konbor and listens to what Varesh is whispering::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks carefully at Konbor::
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods slowly at Varesh and returns to Konbor and Monroe::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/Konbor: It seems our shuttle's life support needs to be fixed before we lift
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: But back to the point. You know exactly what I am talking about
Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Keep an eye on him, I will see if I can get that fixed.
Aidan says:
@ Aaron:  I'm sure word will get back to us in no time as to what is happening out there.  I want you to just stay put.

ACTION: The Alliance shuttle homes in on the transport vessel and informs his commander.
 
Sid Monroe says:
::Heads back to the shuttle and pulls out a panel and looks inside::
Christina Tulpen says:
::turns to look at Monroe in the eyes:: Sid: Look very carefully inside the shuttle, I am certain you will find the problem ::does her best to explain with her eyes that he must comb the inside of the shuttle::
Konbor says:
::Looks pretty disinterested around:: Christina: No Ma'am. You are wrong. I am on your side. And look at my rank. The lowest bridge officer there is. They do not have these, how do you call them, thinks?
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Yeah, yeah.....you know me, I can't just sit back and not do anything.  ::walks over to a barred window and sees a female with red hair being carried by a guard::
 
@ ACTION: Rose finds herself tied to a chair and being forced to full consciousness.

Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: You probably carry those things all the time. Where is it?
 
ACTION: A warning is given off on the Rebel vessel they have been scanned.

Konbor says:
::Starts to undress himself.:: Christina: Well if you insist... take a good look. Here are my shoes already. MISS!
Aaron Knight says:
@::tries to hide what or who he is sensing::
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: How else do you explain we were found so quickly you Cardassian scum!
Christina Tulpen says:
::actually takes the stinking shoes and looks carefully at them::

ACTION: Konbor disrobes before Tulpen. His clothing dropping on the floor, there is nothing there.
 
Sid Monroe says:
::Looks around the shuttle::
Christina Tulpen says:
::deliberately drops his shoes off the cliff but leaves his clothes for him to wear, its too gruesome to look otherwise::
Konbor says:
::Wants to attack her, but keeps calm. He does not want to give his secret that easy. And fighting makes weaker this moment.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: Again, how else do you explain we were found so quickly?
Konbor says:
Christina: They are smart.
Christina Tulpen says:
::rolls her eyes:: Konbor: You know better than anyone that is not true. You understand if you don't help us we will have to kill you
Brianna Rose says:
@ :: Feeling bruised and dead inside, she looks at her interrogator, not understanding why she is here.  She had not done anything, and tries to tell them that, but is only backhanded to silence and told to answer only their questions, not to ask.::
 
ACTION: Monroe finds the transmitter.

Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  We've got a new problem Aidan.  That prisoner they just took, I know her.
Konbor says:
::Looks skyward.::  Self: Sigh
 Sid Monroe says:
::Finds the transmitter hiding behind the panel:: Tulpen: Oh look at what I found.  ::Crushes the transmitter with his foot::
Aidan says:
@Aaron:  You know her??  Is she.....is she someone we can trust?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks up:: Tulpen: Let's get moving, we have been made.  ::Pulls up Varesh:: Varesh: Can you walk?.
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: Waiting for your friends? They will kill us but we will kill you
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks back at Monroe:: Sid: problem solved? ::again gives him the look that she is not asking about the life support system::
Varesh says:
::looks at Sid:: Sid: Hi mom. ::weakly shakes his head:: Yeah, if someone holds me up.
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Yes, we can trust her.  She is a close friend of mine.....she was onboard the vessel I was on before being brought here.
Konbor says:
Christina: Then shoot me now, if you do not trust me. Anyway, do you have prove that I have placed that thing?
 
ACTION: Two ships from the prison camp leave and head toward Monroe's ship, weapons hot; orders to bring alive... if possible.

Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: I need no further proofs ::grabs him by the arm again and pushes hi to where Varesh and Monroe are::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Yes.  Let's get moving.  Oh with him... His life is in your hands.
Konbor says:
Christina: Hey, hey hey, take it easy, will you?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Pulls up Varesh:: Varesh: let's go.
Varesh says:
::stumbles along:: Sid: Gladly.
Brianna Rose says:
@ :: Finally she realizes their questions have nothing to do with Caelan, or the Blue Diamond but Aaron.  They had all suffered for naught?  Angry::  Guard: You moron, I have no idea where Aaron Knight is.  If I did, I wouldn't have been looking for him you thickheaded :: her language quickly disintegrates before she is shut up with a fist.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::smiles at Monroe and Konbor:: Konbor: sure ::pulls him harder::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Are we walking all the way to the prison complex?
Konbor says:
::Loud:: Self: OUCHY!
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Yes.  We will get shot down if we take the shuttle.
 
ACTION: The terrain they move for is rocky, with little life.  As the sun rises higher into the sky, they begin to feel the intense heat.  There is no water about.

Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Its a rather long walk .... :: unstraps her cloak::
Varesh says:
::looks into the middle distance:: All: Oooh, pretty horses.

ACTION: The whine of engines can be heard by the others.
 
Sid Monroe says:
::Looks back at the shuttle:: Tulpen:  We can wait for the search crews to finish the search before we can use the shuttle.
Varesh says:
All: I want to go for a ride on the ponies. ::points to nothing in particular::
Brianna Rose says:
@:: The feeling of her hair being pulled out of her scalp has her looking up into a rather ugly face, her vision swimming.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Slaps Varesh:: Varesh: Snap out of it.
Christina Tulpen  says:
::looks up at the sound of shuttles:: Sid: I hope they are quick, we won't survive long in the open
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  We need to find a way to get her out of there.
Varesh says:
::looks blearily at Sid:: Sid: But Mom, I was being good. Why did you hit me?
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: And you will survive even less time
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: See all the trouble you caused??
 Sid Monroe says:
::Slaps Varesh again:: Tulpen: He is hallucinating  ::Slaps him again.::
Aidan says:
@Aaron:  I would love to be able to get her out of there, but with the position we're in, there's not much we can do.....without getting ourselves killed.

ACTION: The two Alliance ships approaching the vessel scan it, discovering it is empty and begin the process of taking it.

Konbor C says:
::Is an absolute denial state.:: Christina: Well did I do that? I am in your custody so how can I do that then?
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: I am no doctor but I don't think that helped. Do you have any sort of first aid on the shuttle?
Brianna Rose says:
@ :: The strength of someone’s breath almost sends her back to unconsciousness.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::rolls eyes:: Konbor: and you are hallucinating as well. this is all your fault!! If not for you we would be on the controlled environment of the shuttle ::is snapping a bit too::
Aaron Knight says:
@::paces back and forth in front of his bunk::  Aidan:  I know you're right, but I hate knowing what they are doing to her.  And I'm sure they have her because they're looking for me.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Points back to the shuttle:: Tulpen: We would have to fight to get back to the shuttle.
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks in the distance:: Sid: Er...I hope you were not too fond of your shuttle
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: So either we turn ourselves in or we keep walking. Either way doesn't leave us with too many chances
Brianna Rose says:
@ :: Unable to focus and pains radiates through her, she briefly is glad she does not know where he is, so she cannot give him away.::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: It is alright. ::Grabs a padd and taps a few buttons to overload the engines on the shuttle::
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks suspiciously at Monroe::
 
ACTION: One of the Alliance vessels begins to search the area.
 
Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Let's continue on.
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: whatever you say ::pulls Konbor again and keeps moving:: All: at least this is the right direction
 
@ ACTION: Just short of killing the female, the commander orders them to stop.  He does not know whether to believe her or not, but killing a female was a waste of resource.  He orders them to take her to the infirmary.

ACTION: Soon the engines overload and explode, taking the Allaince vessel that had landed next to it, with it.

Konbor says:
::Resist heavy.:: All: NO! I want to stay. Let me die.
Christina Tulpen says:
Konbor: Oh we will, just not yet. Do you think you can choose?
Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: Nice firework
Konbor says:
Christina: No. But I can always try. You never gave me a chance. ::Resist in dropping on the ground.::
Aaron Knight says:
@::walks over and slams his fists into the wall, knowing he is unable to get Brianna out as he feels her pain::
 
ACTION: The commander is informed one of his vessels has been destroyed.  He becomes livid... not a pretty color on a Cardassian.  The prison is put on alert and teams are prepared.

Christina Tulpen says:
Sid: I might need a little help with this one ::pulls Konbor to his feet and urges him to keep going::
Brianna Rose says:
@ :: With the pain and the loss and fear of betraying others, at this point in time really wants to die.  Not wanting to hang on, she reaches for death::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Continues pulling Varesh with him and looks to Konbor and drops Varesh on the ground and walks back to Konbor and strikes him with his backhand:: Konbor: Get up.  Or I will make your life miserable.
