=^= Well Ensign Johnson has came up with a interesting idea, I wont bore you
with the details but we can stop the Mirthandir. In essence the ensign plans
to shut down the EPS taps and thus shut down the warp core. I wont explain
it because well I cant. However I believe if it works there will be minimal
damage,=^= John paused and enchained =^= Im going to suggest we do it. Pull
back all ships though and get most of the marines off the ship,=^= John
stated.

" You are in better position than me to appreciate the idea, are you sure it
will work ? " Vladek asked not very convinced.

"Well Ensign Johnson believes he is ready to do it now, so on your approval
ill give you some time to get clear then we will engage,"

Vladek thought for a moment, it was risky but it was the only idea they had
and they hadn't the time to elaborate another plan "All right Number One,
make it so but if it doesn't work at first, we'll beam you out."

=^= Aye sir, Wilson out,=^=

Vladek turned to the Science Officer "Ensign Tersa, begin the transportation
of the Marines and be ready to beam out Mr Wilson and the others if their
plans doesn't worked "

Ensign Tersa nodded and began to type on his console, then for Vladek the
seconds began to look like an eternity, if was perhaps due to the electric
discharges he had received in the torture room, he couldn't still focused
his thoughts and he had still that terrible headache. But he had decided to
not show anything till the situation would be solved.

A few minutes later, he saw the Mithrandir making a full stop like it had
encountered an invisible wall or with someone standing on the brakes. Vladek
was relieved, they had managed to stop the ship and safe the CLO headquarter
from the destruction, the Colonel's plan was a complete failure and he was
wondering if they had managed to catch him.

=^= USS Mirthandir to Runabout Alamo, the ship is now stationary we cannot
start docking because the shuttle bays have been burned out. However we can
start transports, =^= it was John's voice

" Good Lt, begin the transportation as soon as ready." Vladek responded

Mackenzie looked over to Vladek "Well that was a lot quicker than what I
thought it would take."

" Same for me Doctor but it has sound like hours anyway " he replied while
the Ensign was suggesting "I suggest that Ensign Kran go back first....he'll
need to."

" Make it as you wish Doctor, the situation is yours now." Vladek stated,
knowing that the situation was now under control and that it was time for
them to lick their wounds".

" If I may speak freely for a moment, I also suggest you get your hiney to
sickbay next so I can work on getting the rest of those devices off." she
said, having certainly noticed that Vladek was hiding his suffering.

Vladek was about to make another lie but he realized that he couldn't hide
no more the pain he was feeling " All right Doc, as soon as the wounded
people will be on the ship, I'll go."

Standing up, she went to the back of the bay area to check Ensign Kran
"Well, he's still stable for now. Let me get him ready for transport."
while Vladek was receiving another call from the Mithrandir =^= Wilson to
Rofellian, Vladek the ship is secure and stationary I'm going to transport
our casualties first and then you and your people on the Alamo, =^= John
stated.

" John, transport first the Doctor and ensign Kran directly to sickbay, I'll
take care of the people of the Alamo, if you need me I'll be on sickbay,
Doctor's order. And you know how persuasive she can be." Vladek said looking
in direction of the CMO, in knowing perfectly that they had an affair
together.

(Reply Mackenzie, Wilson IYW)

" And ask Ensign Johnson to help the doctor with the casualties, as long as
we haven't recover our entire crew she'll be alone to take care of the
wounded." Vladek added

(Reply Wilson, Johnson)

(USS Alamo - TAC/SO- Ensign Tagon- 04:16)
___________________

When Tagon left the bridge he was moving fast. This would be a scary sight
if anyone were to have seen him coming towards them. A moving mountain at a
fast pace could cause even the most stout of heart to be concerned.

To make it even worse, he had a look on his face that would cause a blind
man to pause. He was determined to keep his promise to Lemssinx.

There was little possibility of the Brikar to find a short cut through the
bowels of the ship. He just wasn't going to fit. He only had one chance.

Instead of heading for the turbo lift he made his way to the transporter.
He set the coordinates to shuttle bay 3 and headed for the pad.

=^=This is Lt Wilson to all federation personnel, evacuate all shuttle bays
and get to secure locations we are going to go through a rapid deceleration
and our guests are going to be blocked in the shuttle bays so they might get
a tad aggressive when they are blocked in.=^=

~A tad agressive. Now that's what I'm talking about.~ As the transporter
effect took hold Tagon disappeared holding his phaser rifle and wearing a
smile.

(USS Alamo-Lt. (jg) CMO Kaitlyn Mackenzie-04:17)
___________

As Kaitlyn stepped up to the pilot's seat, Vladek quickly reassured
her." Don't worry Doc, as John has said you will do fine." he said in
taking the seat left by Ensign Johnsson " and I'll give you a hand, I'm not
feeling still strong enough to go with them."

Taking a deep breath in, she said, "Alright....lets do this." She
took a seat next to Vladek as he gave her orders on what to do.

" Lt. move us closer to the Mithrandir, we'll have to be ready to get
them back if they can't change the course of the ship."

"Aye sir." As she was moving them in closer, he then asked about the
condition of the ensign.

" How is Ensign Kran ? Do you think he will make it ? "

Turning around in her chair, she looked back at the ensign, then at
Vladek. "If we can get this plan rolling and make it back within 4 hours he
should be fine. We need to get the bleeding stopped as soon as possible
though."

She stared out the window at the Mithrandir, hoping that they could
retake the ship and still be okay. Just then she heard Vladek ask about the
status.

"Well Ensign Johnson has came up with a interesting idea, I wont bore
you with the details but we can stop the Mirthandir. In essence the ensign
plans to shut down the EPS taps and thus shut down the warp core. I wont
explain it because well I cant. However I believe if it works there will be
minimal damage," John paused and moved forward in the seat. " Im going to
suggest we do it. Pull back all ships though and get most of the marines off
the ship," John stated.

Kaitlyn listened to the plan, acknowledging most of what they were
trying to accomplish. Now all she had to do was wait till the right moment
if something went wrong.

As a few minutes passed, things actually seemed to be looking up.
~Come on guys, you can do it.....~

Before she knew it, John's voice came back over the com. "USS
Mirthandir to Runabout Alamo, the ship is now stationary we cannot start
docking because the shuttle bays have been burned out. However we can start
transports."

Kaitlyn looked over to Rofellian. "Well that was a lot quicker than
what I thought it would take."

<<Reply Rofellian, if desired>>

"I suggest that Ensign Kran go back first....he'll need to."

<<Reply Rofellian>>

"If I may speak freely for a moment, I also suggest you get your
hiney to sickbay next so I can work on getting the rest of those devices
off."

<<Reply Rofellian>>

Standing up, she went to the back of the bay area to check on the
ensign since Rofellian was by the com. "Well, he's still stable for now.
Let me get him ready for transport."

(USS Mirthandir - Shuttlebay 3- TAC/SO- Ensign Tagon-1418)
_____________________

Tagon materialized in the shuttlebay. He could see the Crytonians heading
for a shuttle. There was a strange feel to the ship and then an even
stranger sound. Then came a sudden movement. Or more precisely a sudden
stop of movement.

Tagon gripped into the floor plating with his feet. Reflexively he reached
out with a hand and put it through the wall to get a grip as the G forces
tried to move him.

He looked up to see the Crytonians flying across the deck. Two them thudded
painfully against the wall. He couldn't see what happened to the Lemssinx
and the other.

Then everything stopped. Tagon released his hold on the wall, and his grip
on the floor. He looked back and said the ship, "Sorry about that old
girl."

=^=Wilson to Tagon, are our guests secure Ensign.=^=

"Working on it Lt.," Tagon replied as he made his way across the shuttlebay.

HThere was still no sign of Lemssinx and his friend. Suddenly Tagon felt
pain through his body. He recognized the snsation. He was being hit with
one of the sonic weapons.

He looked for where it was coming from. He saw some movement, but as he
turned it was too late. Another blast hit him in the chest. The pain was
incrdeible. The Brikar had never felt anything like it before.

Lemssinx had him in a crossfire with the other Crytonian. Blast after blast
assaulted the Tagon's thick hide. He fell to his knees, unable to maintain
his strength.

Then he saw Lemssinx. He had finally come out of hiding. Now that Tagon
was unable to defend himself he was prepared to take a chance. He stepped
forward and fired off another round.

The Brikar clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. He tried to breath
through the pain, but couldn't stay focused for it. The Crytonian officer
fired another round off and Tagon fought to stay conscious.

Lemssinx laughed. "How sad for you, to be so close to me, and yet not be
able to do what you want. You may have stopped my plans this time, but you
have not stopped me. I stand for something much greater, and I will
prevail. You Federation think you are so superior. Now who is superior.
You have defied me for the very last time."

Lemssinx turned to his aide. "Kill him now."

The officer raised his weapon. Tagon looked up at with nothing but contempt
in his eyes. If he was going to die, he was going to die well.

All he could say, through clenched teeth, was, "Bite me."

Suddenly the officer looked confused and fell to the floor. Lemssinx looked
equally confused but did not fall down. It slowly dawned on him that there
was something wrong.

He quickly tried to raise his weapon when he realized that there was
something else wrong. He was now in the range of Dru Tagon's reach.

The Brikar used all of his strength to grab hold of Lemssinx. His hand
clasped around his neck. Lemssinx let out a gurgle.

With a deep breath Tagon pulled himself to his feet. Lemssinx's legs began
kicking and thrashing wildly, to no avail. Tagon looked into his face. If
it were possible he would have snarled.

"I wanted to keep you alive, to get the security codes for you lock out, but
now it appears that's not neccesary." There was a quivering in the Brikars
deep voice. "Remember my promise Lemssinx, now is the time to pay."

And with very little effort Dru Tagon squeezed. There was a snap and
Lemssinx stopped struggling.

He dropped the body of Lemssinx on the floor and tapped his comm badge.

"Tagon to bridge, shuttlebay 3 is now secure."

John sat in the command chair the ship was now fully stationary remaining
motionless in space. John waited impatiently for a reply off the Ensign he
had dispatched to deal with the Crytonians. John fidgeted inside his seat
awaiting the Security officers report.

Ensign Johnson who had turned around drew John's mind away from his concerns
from the helm.

"Sir. I'm rerouting power to areas that need them also I have activated the
emergency holo doctor in sickbay." Ryan with a little worry on his face
now. "Sir you might want to go to sick bay when you get a chance or at
least have me check you out."

"Firstly Ensign I hate holograms, so you can deal with me," John stated
smiling and snapping back to growling with the pain in his head.

(Reply Johnson)

"Sir. Maybe we could use the emergency intership transporter to transport
the Crytonians to the ships brige."

"Brilliant idea Ensign, I leave it up to you also I want you to coordinate
with the fleet to start bringing our people home," John stated sitting in
the seat out of necessity rather than choice. " Oh and Ensign sort out our
power before me,"

(Reply Johnson)

As the ensign moved off to complete his duties John remained motionless
looking out of the view screen. As he turned his attention to the armrest
the read outs of the ship were flashing red all over with systems damage.

=^=Tagon to bridge, shuttle bay 3 is now secured. =^=

"Good work Ensign," John stated since there wasn't much else he could say at
this point. John paused and remembered Johnson's plan to transport the
prisoners to the brig.

"Wilson to James, David the prisoners are being transported to the brig
could ensure a marine detail guards them and use all necessary force to
contain them,"

(Reply James)

John noted his progress mentally and then pressed the com.

"Wilson to Rofellian, Vladek the ship is secure and stationary I'm going to
transport our casualties first and then you and your people on the Alamo,"
John stated.

(Reply Vladek)

Tagon entering the bridge with Tybrin close on his heel then caught John's
attention. The human looked quite pitiful by the side of Tagon who dwarfed
nearly every one John had ever seen him with.

"Gentlemen what is going on?" John questioned.

(Reply Tagon or Tybrin)

"Ok then Lt Tybrin you can leave him under my care, he was acting under my
orders,"

(Reply Tybrin)

Once Jon had regained his equilibrium from the sudden stop, he moved around
to see what was making all the noise in the shuttlebay. He saw several
Crytonians firing at something that he could not immediately see. The only
thing that he could surmise was that it had to be a member of the Mirthandir
and he had to get to where he could help that person.

Jon could hear the sounds that were umistakably a sonic weapon being fired
so he moved in the direction of the sound and soon saw what he was trying to
find.

"Kill him now" Jon heard the man known as Lemssinx tell the man beside him.
Jon could see that Tagon was badly in need of help or he would not be eating
in the mess hall again.

"Bite me" Tagon said through his clenched teeth. Jon had to bite his lip
as he did not want to laugh at the present time as he was taking aim on the
man that was about to blow Tagon's humor through the floor.

Jon slowly and smoothly pulled the trigger and watched the man stop what he
was doing to slowly it seemed to fall. Then Jon quickly pulled another shot
off on the man beside him, unlike the first man, Jon knew that he had not
hit the mark but only grazed him.

Jon got up and made the final steps over to Tagon and watched him grapple
with Lemssinx as he scanned the area in case more Crytonians decided to come
out of the woodwork. He watched as Tagon had the man by the neck and was
talking to him as he held him.

"I wanted to keep you alive, to get the security codes for your lock out,
but, now it appears that's not necessary." Jon heard Tagon say then
continued, "Remember my promise Lemssinx, now is the time to pay"

Jon understood what Tagon was hinting to and was about to tell him not to
kill the man when he heard a snap and Lemssinx stopped all movement. Tagon
let him drop to the floor and tapped his combadge.

"Tagon to bridge, Shuttlebay 3 is now Secure" Tagon told them

"I guess that you are glad that I happen to be here to save the day for you
eh?" Jon said to Tagon as he put his shoulder under Tagon's to help support
him as he moved the Brikar to a crate to sit on.

Tagon looked at the JAG officer as he approached.

"I guess that you are glad that I happen to be here to save the day for you
eh?" he said to Tagon as he put his shoulder under Tagon's to help support
him as he moved the Brikar to a crate to sit on.

Tagon knew better than to put much weight down on the human. He sat on a
crate and heard it creak with the strain. He looked at the Tybrin with a
glazed look. His eyes were not quite focused, as if he were coming out of a
dream.

He looked around at the shuttlebay. At first he wondered if it were himself
that had caused all the damage. Then he remembered the sudden deceleration
and ensuing fight. Finally his gaze moved over to the now dead body of
Lemssinx.

He was both happy and sad to see him there, laying there, his neck twisted
at an impossible angle. He knew that was his work. Then he looked at
Tybrin again. This time it was as if he just realized that he was there.

"I suppose I should say thanks," Dru said reluctantly.

He could see an uncomfortable look on the JAG's face. Tagon knew that this
did not bode well.

"Now Mister Tagon," Tybrin sounded most official, "I must inform you that I
will have to place you under arrest for killing him. You had him under
submission and therefore did not have to use that must force."

"I understand," Tagon said slowly, and with a hint of malice, "but not
today."

"I will expect you to report to the security chief when all is calmed down,"
the JAG ordered. When there was a moment of silence he added. "Am I
understood?"

"Of course," the Brikar replied simply, "I speak Standard."

"Ok then, lead on would you, I will accompany you, two heads are better than
one even if yours counts for two."

For a moment Dru contemplated the same fate for Tybrin as he had given
Lemssinx. He muttered something about "Lawyers" and then the moment passed.


Dru had done what he had done. He was not ashamed of his actions, but would
stand up to the consequences of them. He took one more look at the body of
Lemmsinx. He pictured Rofellian as he saw him in the Citidel and fought the
urged to go stand on his head.

As they left the shuttle bay he tapped to computer panel. "Computer, lock
and shut down all exits from this shuttlebay."

Then he led the way back to the bridge.

__________________________

Vladek was lying on a biobed and he was looking around, the room was
beginning to be overcrowded by crewmembers, most of them were Marines who
had been wounded in the fight to regain the control of Main Engineering,
several were dead. He wasn't very enjoying the fact of being stuck there but
he was feeling anyway that he wasn't strong enough to take back his command
duty.

" Doctor, how is the situation ? if I can be any help, don't hesitate to
ask." he proposed feeling himself a little useless.

(Reply Mackenzie)

But he was caught cold by her reply " All right Doctor, if it's an order,
I'll stay quiet." then he tapped his commbadge " Rofellian to Wilson, report
on our current situation ? " he asked

(Reply Wilson)

" Good you'll assume command till I'm stucked here and seeing how Stacey is
looking at me, I think I'm here for a long time." he replied then he added "
And concerning the problem in the shuttlebay, send me them both I'll handle
that." he stated

(Reply Wilson)

In waiting for Tagon and Tybrin, he tapped his badge again " Rofellian to
T'Vanek and James. Report Gentlemen."

(Reply T'Vanek, James)

" Good secure all the essential areas and search the ship for any surviving
Crytonians, I don't want to take the risk to have another sabotage action,
our next step will be to get back the remaining crewmembers. Major I know
you've already paid a hight tribute but assemble a team just in case we'll
have to use the force to recover them." Vladek ordered, aware that he was
still counting on the Marines.

(Reply T'Vanek, James)

He had just finished his conversation with the Marines head staff when the
doors opened and Lt. Tybrin and Ensign Tagon, who was still wearing only a
trouser, entered.

"Lt. , Ensign, So what's the problem, Gentlemen ? " Vladek asked

(Reply Tybrin, Tagon)
