USS Sharikahr Mission #336

Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
Last mission, the crew of the Sharikahr has reunited upon hearing the news of Sha's kidnapping. They are all together in the Starfleet command center located under the Admiralty and they are waiting for news.
Six hours are passed and now even Lt. Cartwright and Cmdr, Tiernan are back from their previous locations, yet the kidnappers have given no news and the situation is getting tenser by the moment.
Every attempt to find Sha` on the planet's surface failed. According to the sensors he is neither on Nuevo Tejas nor in close orbit, but has been brought in outer space or is it simply a glitch in the sensors.
Who are these kidnappers? Terrorists and bad people, as someone guessed or the situation is, as usual, more complicated than what it looks like?

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::banging her fists on a console as another scan for Sha comes back negative::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Walking towards the command centre, coming from sick bay::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
All: Has anyone tried communicating with the boy telepathically?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: silently raises an eyebrow at the suggestion ::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Enters the CC, and looks for the captain::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: I believe Commander So'tosh attempted that, but was unsuccessful.
Host Enrico says:
<Admiralty_Guard>:*CO*: Captain there is a gentleman at the entrance that would like to speak with you.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::rubs her eyes and looks over at the CEO:: CEO: Once again a fresh mind come in handy. I can try for it Captain if you want. I am a little stronger than Sin.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks to his first officer ::  CO: Perhaps this is the opportunity we were awaiting?  *Guard*: I shall be there momentarily chief.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the XO, knowing his telepathic abilities are the strongest of the crew, but not in a hurry to connect with Sha after the last time.::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
CO: I'm back, how may I be of help?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CO: While you speak to the Admiral, I will make the attempt.
Host Enrico says:
<Guard>*CO*: As you wish Captain, I will tell him to wait.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Points to the XO :: CMO: Perhaps you can assist the Commander. A telepathy boosting medication... and some monitoring. XO: Best of luck. Nominate someone else to keep watch if you will be otherwise occupied.  :: without a further word, exits the command center and heads for the front gate ::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Looks around for other options to watch scans.::

ACTION: the Captain exits the command center and makes his way through the Villa, can hear the party is still going on.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: As he walks, he silently ponders what the waiting person is doing while he waits ::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CEO: If you would keep watch while the Doctor assists me?
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: I kinda figured that thanks to Captain Obvious. ::Sits at the console.::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: Should be go to sickbay?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::shakes her head with a smirk:: CEO: Same old Logan.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Starts humming while watching the console.:

ACTION: the CO arrives at the villa's entrance, where a security ensign is waiting together with a middle aged, midsized man.

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CMO: I think it would be better if you came up with something here. We have a small emergency room here and replicators.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Makes a direct path instinctively for the unknown person being subtly watched ::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: that will work ma'am, they may not have everything but I’m sure we can make due.
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>:: speaks with a very low voice in a very emotion neutral tone:: CO: Are you Captain Savar?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: I am.  And you are?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::stand from her seat and makes her way to the emergency room:: CMO: I am sure you will think of something.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Watches them leave and shakes his head.::
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: This human's name is Highsmith. I am one of the Atronach. I was sent to guide you.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: Guide me where?
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: To the place appointed. Are you ready to follow? ::his voice is so flat it's somewhat unsettling::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Follows behind the XO:: XO: this will take a few minutes, i have a mix that should do the job.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Considers trying to reach Sha himself.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: his face betrays nothing ::  Highsmith: How will we get there?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::sits on the small bed in the emergency room:: CMO: I'll be ready when you are.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: If this doesn't work, I'm doing it.~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: Through the blue beam system.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
~~~CEO: Are you certain?~~~
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: Do you know anyone else with my strength for it?~~~
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: Blue beam system....
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Moves over to the small drug cabinet, and looks for what she needed::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Carefully makes sure his communications channel is still open with the rest of his crew ::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Monitors the CO's com and position.::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
~~~CEO: No, but I won't order you to. While I'm out keep a eye on the monitor for the Captain's sub dermal transponder::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
<~~~>
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: This isn't my first bar-b-que Milli. I got him on communications and sensors.~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>CO: Captain Savar, follow me. ::turns and starts walking away from the Villa::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Takes one drug and puts it in the hypo spray:: XO: Only missing one, one second.  ::Moves to a replicator, and puts in an order::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Glances around the area, looking for anyone else who might be lying in wait as they start to walk, the Captain maintaining a short distance behind the man ::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
~~~CEO: Talk to you in a few. We're almost ready here~~~
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: Good luck. If she's mixing what I think she might, you're in for a long night.~~~

ACTION: Highsmith starts walking, in a slow, almost robotic way toward a cluster of buildings that form a luxury mall on the city's beach front.

CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Self: Well I guess the Captain wanted to get some shopping done.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Gets the second drug and puts it in the tricorder:: XO: Tricordrazine, and some neuro stimulant, this will mess with anyone’s head.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
CMO: I'm not afraid. I'll be able to control it.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Pushes the hypo to the XO's neck:: XO: If your sure, and ready...
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::takes a deep breath:: CMO: Do it.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Injects the drug cocktail::

Action: Highsmith enters inside a building and starts looking around....

ACTION: The cocktail makes immediate effect, and suddenly the XO feels very distant from her body..almost as if she was separated from it.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Takes a breath in and out and watches the man's actions from just outside the building ::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
::Holds on to the XO's shoulder:: XO: Looking good... ::watches the tricoder:: How are you feeling?

ACTION: Highsmith makes a gesture indicating he wants to be followed and starts moving inside the building.

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::allows herself a moment to get used to the feelings coursing through her mind as she manages to nod::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Cautiously enters the building, keeping an eye on him ::  Highsmith: Are you part of the plot?
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: Don't try your powers to hard at first, give it time for your body to get use to it.
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>:: turns his head and looks puzzled:: CO: Plot? What is a plot?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: I see.  Where are we going?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::begins to mentally search for Sha's mind, close at first but gradually widening the search out::

ACTION: Suddenly Highsmith staggers and falls on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off....

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Stops in his tracks, maintaining his distance, and looks around his surroundings again ::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: You're supposed to be looking for Sha's head, not mine Milli.~~~
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::feels the wall and concentrates all her mental force on breaking through it::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Watches the XO's vitals:: XO: I’m going to get you to lie down....

ACTION: Highsmith yelps and a trace of pain appears in a otherwise emotionless face.

XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::lies down slowly, almost mechanically::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Self: Man I wish that kid had Borg Nanobots in him like I do. It would be easy to track him.

ACTION: A couple of shoppers move toward Highsmith concerned by what they are seeing.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: Again, don't strain yourself to fast
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::switches mental tactics, instead of searching for Sha directly she looks in all the minds she can reach for information of his whereabouts::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Grabs his left wrist in his right hand behind his back, looking unconcerned ::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::concentrates on the alien mind::

Action: The shoppers are trying to help Highsmith that suddenly has stopped moving, but they seem clueless.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Monitors the XO's blood pressure, and gives her something to make sure it doesn't get to high::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::gets increasingly frustrated as she tries to get a clear reading::

ACTION: Suddenly Highsmith gains control of his body again, stands up and starts walking toward a bar.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Self: Interesting.  :: Starts to follow again ::  Highsmith: Feeling better?
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith> CO: For a while I lost control of this body. Someone is interfering with the channels.
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: Ok, I’m giving you a few more minutes....your health comes first...
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: Who is interfering?  And how?
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Ups the blood pressure medications:: XO: a bit longer, i can't have your heart exploding on us.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::hears the CMO distantly and decides to try one last straight assault at the wall surrounding Sha::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Raises an eyebrow at what he is hearing.::
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: I don't know, but I had to transfer energy from the control of this human to the "barrier". Someone was trying to penetrate it.
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::concentrates all her mental strength for one last try::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: How are you controlling this human?

ACTION: Suddenly Highsmith falls again on the ground.

CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Listens intently on the CO's com.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Wonders if the control is lost every time he asks a direct question ::
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Wishes there was another person there to monitor the CO.::
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::feels a momentary break and then...::
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: You are getting worst, i need to start taking you off the drugs, :: Gets the tricorder ready and gives some painkillers first::

ACTION: slowly the XO is brought back to her body by the action of the new drugs injection.

ACTION: Highsmith finally gets up, but this time he looks shaken and disoriented, more much more slowly.

CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
:: Monitors the XO's heart::
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: We need to move. Now! ::moves toward the bar and enters inside::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: We could keep moving if you stopped falling to the ground.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: I am going to have to do it.~~~
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: I need you to take deep long breaths...
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
~~~CEO: No and that is an order. Any force applied simply gets turned against the telepath.~~~
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
::breathes deep::
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith>: CO: The control is damaged. Someone is interrupting the control.
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: Maybe for you, but you aren't as strong.~~~
CMO_Cmdr_Tiernan says:
XO: Ok, keep it up, you'll feel better soon
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Highsmith: How?
XO_Cmdr_Rodos says:
~~~CEO: I said no!~~~
CEO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~XO: Court martial me then.~~~
Host Enrico says:
<Highsmith> CO: I have to divert my energy to save the barrier. And I cannot control this human at such a large distance with low energy. Now come.
