The cell was open, the prisoners free. James grinned to himself and a feeling of relief filled his body, ~ Well the plan worked. Hmm. Almost too easy.~ Dave grinned widely at the rest of the bridge members. "Let's go!" John threw a weapon to David "Few more shots in that one" James pulled the pistol up to his shoulder, placing the weapon's safety to off. "Nice gun" John passed out the rest of the weapons. John called to his small commando team; "Right, Lt James, Ensign Johnson and Major T'Vanek shall we retrieve the commander?" "I think we can, although I do believe that he will be the least guarded of all of our objectives, even if he does have some information that they are trying to extract, no alarms have been set off. Who expects that we are free? We have some element of surprise." The four officers moved down the corridor, rows and rows of doors; all with different numbers but otherwise seeming completely akin. After a while the First Officer held his hand up, calling the group to a stop and turned towards a certain door. Wilson quietly turned around and asked quietly; "David, I do not suppose you can still pick locks?" ~You think I could ever forget something as useful as that? Can you still pick locks, what would 'Fingers' say about that? Having a commanding officer draw upon the skills that you had taught me. To save a world no less. I'll show him. ~ "This will be not a problem, how long you can give me? Might I suggest I open up only after the others have disabled the devices?" (Reply Wilson) Dave knelt down to the control panel and started working on the wiring on the inside of the door structure. ~I thought I had left door hacking and breaking and entry back on Earth. Ah well at least I am really good at it, and enjoy it. ~ (Posted by Guy Hudson) ________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel -Ensign Ryan Johnson - 02:59) ________________ Ryan saw a guard come to the cell and saw what Lt. Wilson had done. Ryan stood up from the floor and walked over to Lt. Wilson. Lt. Wilson was handing out weapons to a few of the crew members. Lt. Wilson walked towards Ryan with a few weapons. "Can you work one of them Ensign?" Lt. Wilson asked With a grin and taking the weapn. "Yes sir I can." Lt. Wilson walked over to another of the crew member handing out a weapon. "Lt James, Ensign Johnson and Major T'Vanek shall we retrieve the commander?" Ryan with a smile. "Just tell me what to do sir." (Reply James, T'Vanek) (Posted by John Statler) _________________ (Cryton IV- Citadell- Lt. (jg) CMO Kaitlyn Mackenzie-03:00) _________________ Kaitlyn had not been sitting long, before a guard showed up at their cell. ~Great...~ Slowly standing and crowding in with the crew, the plan suddenly went into action. And believe it or not, it actually worked! ~I'll have to remember to thank David for this.......and tell him that if he ever does this again I'll kill him myself....~ As she turned to face John, she noticed he was handing out weapons. Turning to her, he said, "Kaitlyn, hang back with the bulk of people and hold your ground here." "But what about you? I don't want you to be taking any more chances out there than you have to." She said giving him puppy eyess. "Hey its me I'll be fine," John stated smiling. "Fine....we'll see about that when I'm the one who ends up fixing you." She said and smiled at him. She then turned to join up with the crew towards the back. Going along, they didn't have to make many stops. Most of the stuff wasn't even a challenge for some of the members. David picked a lock or two, then they were off to get Morty and Tagon. Unfortunatly for Morty, he looked a little out of it. ~Well, guess I'll sit back and watch the action for awhile.....~ (Reply: None, any) (Posted by: Stacey) ________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - Ensign Ryan Johnson - 03:03) ________________ Ryan and the rest of the group walked down the corridor. Ryan saw Lt. Wilson keep looking behind them. A little ways down the corridor the crew heard a voice. "James and Major, hold here," Lt. Wilson stated. (Reply James, Major) "David I do not suppose you can still picks locks?" John asked him. (Reply James) "Good get to work," John Said in a low voice. At whick time Ryan was standing just a few feet ahead of them making sure no one came down the corridor and surprised them. "Johnson," John whispered attempting to remain as quite as possible. Ryan looked at him. "Can you and the Major Scout ahead, find a control room so we can prevent the implants on our crew," With out saying a word Ryan nodded his head and started off down the corridor with T'Vanek beside him. (Reply T'Vanek, Any) (Posted By John Statler) _______________________ (Cryton IV- Citadell Isolation- TAC/SO- Ensign Tagon- 0305) _______________________ Dru had started to regain his strengnth. Slowly he continued to work at the chains, binding him to the wall. The sonic weapons used to subdue him packed quite a punch, and drained his strength. He was actuallly surprised that he survived. After listened to Morty snore for a while Dru decided to meditate and try to regain his strenth. His only companion were the sounds of screams coming down the corridor. Dru tried to locate where they may have been coming from. The voice sounded oddly familiar. Being in the dark dungeon reminded him of a time in his childhood. He had been wandering around the estate that he lived on. His wanderings took him to a part of the main building that he had never been to before. There wee steps leading to what Dru assumed was a storage area. It turned out that it was a storage area for the "Unwanted." The unwanted were prisoners that nobody cared about any more. They had no family or friends who cared if they lived or died, and then they had the misfortune to break the law. Dru unwittingly found himself in this dark, and dank place. The smell was the most awful thing he had experienced. But it didn't curb his curiosity. Finally he found a cell with a single occupant. He appeared to be the only living thing in the whole place. Dru remembered the fright he got as the creature ran for the door when he heard the boy. The hollowed face and dark eyes. The smell of his breath. At first he didn't think that the door would hold, since it looked as if it were suffering from wood rot... A sound brought Dru back to the real world. It was the sound of the door being opened. Dru took a deep breath and began to strain against the chains again. He could feel the wall ready to give. He wuld wait for the right moment before breaking his bonds. Someone came into the darkness. Actually there were several someones. A smile came across the Bikar's face. The more the merrier. It was odd that they did not have a light, but that just helped Tagon's situation. He could hear the sounds of them unchaining Morty. He lifted his arm as someone approached. Then there was a voice. It Tagon a moment but he recognized it. It was lt. Wilson. "Ensign Tagon long time no see, ready to go?" Wilson said. Tagon relaxed his muscles and attempted to be nonchalant about his situation. "Ah Lt., I was just about to be on my way to see you. I am indeed ready to go, but I seem to be held back from that for the moment. If you could lend a hand." "Let's get out of here then," the Lt. replied. He showed the manacles around his wrists. Wilson produced a weapon. Tagon was impressed, since he was certain that it was no small feet to obtain it. The weapon went of and Tagon was free from his bonds. Dru rubbed his wrists, feeling that they were free. He stretched his massive arms feeling the strength return. Then he realized something else, he was completely naked. "Um, Lt, do you think we might find something for me to wear?" Tagon asked, with uncharacteristic modesty. "Ensign I understand your position but do you have any ideas about where to go from here, a direction or area that they might be holding the Commander." Suddenly the screams made sense. It was the Commander. Tagon cursed himself. "Not exactly sir," he said. "But I have an idea where he may be. And I think he may be in trouble." Suddenly, uncaring of his state of undress he headed for the door. "I believe that I may have made a general mental map of where the Commander may be." (reply Wilson, any) (posted by Al Muir) ________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - a-FO/CONN/OPS Lt. John Wilson -03:05) ________________ With Ensign Tagon released John smiled the chances of surviving this had doubled already but still it was not 100% positive. John tried not to look at the naked Brikar as he stood up and seemed quite agitated. "I believe that I may have made a general mental map of where the Commander may be." John smiled and nodded to Tagon. "Well lead the way Ensign," John stated keeping his pistol un-holstered, as they began to move out of the room John herd footsteps. With out saying a word he indicated to David to make ready and take aim. As they stood on opposite sides of the corridor a familiar voice spoke softly. (Posted by Richard Bowes) ________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - Ensign Ryan Johnson - 03:05) ________________ Ryan started off down the corridor a with T'Vanek by his side. Ryan stopped and looked at T'Vanek. "Your the higher ranking officer here. How do you want to want to proceed with finding the control room?" (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan nodded his head up and down and started to walk down the corridor slowly. As the two walked both of them came to a T-section in the hallway. Ryan heard what sounded like a person giving people orders to someone. "I want you two to stand out here and make sure no one get's inside. Do I make myself clean?" The voice coming from around a corner said. Ryan looked at T'Vanek and both raised there phaser's up to firing postions. "Yes Sir." Two voices said at the sametime. Ryan leaned up against the wall as close as he could. T"Vanek stood next to Ryan and both of them stood still. Ryan heard foot steps but they were sounding fanter by the step. The foot steps were hard to hear until finally there were no more sounds of foot steps. (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan nodded his head up and down. Ryan slid to the floor and was on his hands and knees. Ryan peaked around the corner of the wall and saw two armed guards standing on either side a door. Ryan looked up at T'Vanek and made a peace sign with his left hand. Then Ryan mouthed to T'Vanek that he would take the closest guard. T'Vanek nodded and held up his phaser. Ryan still on his knees lifted up his phaser and was ready to fire. Ryan and T'Vanek at the sametime came around the wall at the T-shape hallway and fired at both the guards. Both guards went down and Ryan stood up. Ryan and T'Vanek went to where both the guards were laying on the floor. Ryan knelt down to the first gurad. "This one is still alive. How about yours?" (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan stood up and saw that the door had what looked like a pale reader to open the door. "T'Vanek that look's like a palm reader to open up the door. What do you think about helping me hold on of the guards up and using his hand?" (Reply T'Vanek) Both of them grabbed one of the guards. Ryan placed the right hand of the guard on the hand padd. The door chiper and opened up. Ryan and T'Vanek both dropped the guard at the sametime and reached for there phaser's. (Reply T'Vanek) (Posted By John Statler) ___________________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - Room 101 - Bilar Crais & Commander Vladek Rofellian - 03:05) ___________________________ Crais walked around the commander once more he still had not broke and no answers had been given. The Romulan was incredibly resilient to the torture and he was on a time limit. "Right Commander Last chance," Crais stated becoming quite agitated since he was on a time constraint. "You will get nothing out of me," Vladek responded channelling all his pain into anger and defiance. "I am fed up of these games," Crais stated activating the electric shock once more, as the commander arched his back again and screamed in pain Crais made a realisation. ~Im not going to break him by simple torture a new tactic must be employed, ~ Crais thought to himself. Crais pressed his door chime and a guard moved in with a female Ensign. Crais had already attached an implant to her and he knew he could kill her in a heartbeat. This was a dangerous tactic to employ, if he threatened to kill the woman and he did not he would display weakness and thus enforce the Commanders resilience. If he did kill her he could strengthen his resolve it was a matter of a suttile line between the two. "Commander Vladek Rofellian from this point you are responsible for the life of Ensign," Crais paused waiting for her to state her name on her refusal he nodded to the guard who hit her across the head. "Im Ensign Heather Longfellow," The woman responded, Crais smiled and then activated the electric shock on her. As she sprawled around on the floor he saw the emotion in Vladek's eyes and the anger. "TELL ME THE CODE COMMANDER SHE HAS 30 SECONDS!" Crais yelled at the Commander, as the woman screamed out in pain Crais watched in pleasure as Vladek yelled out. "OK! SirtakOmega13405974," Crais nodded to the officer who had recorded the entire conversation. Crais released the button and the electrocution ceased. Crais turned and began to leave the room as he moved he felt the woman moved to sit on her knees. As eh covertly unholstered his pistol he set it to kill and then span around and with the pistol behind his back he moved behind the woman and then placed the pistol to her head and fired. The woman's dead body fell to the ground lifeless, Vladek's face turned into pure rage and he began to scream at Crais. Crais did not respond but he holstered his pistol and then shouted. "Exicute the senior officers, all of them," Crais ordered leaving the room, on his way out the guard looked at him. Crais stopped as the guard spoke. "Sir, all of them even the women?" The guard asked. "YES ALL OF THEM WIPE THEM OUT," Crais paused and looked at the commander. "Keep him alive he may still be needed plus let him realise what he has done," Crais stated leaving the room followed by the guards dragging the woman's body out of the room. (Posted by Richard Bowes) _______________ (Cryton IV-Citadel-Lt. (jg) CMO Kaitlyn Mackenzie-03:10) _______________ It hadn't taken long before the group was actually doing well on their journey out of the hidious place they were in. With T'Vanek and Johnson being sent up to the control room, that only left a few members of the team. ~If we could just find Rofellian....~ Kaitlyn already knew where that room was, and she really didn't want to return to it that badly, but she knew they had to rescue Rofellian. Jogging up to John for a moment, she whispered, "I know where they're keeping Rofellian. They had us in the same room. If you want I can lead you the cell .....as long as Johnson and T'Vanek get to the control room and shut these...things, " she felt her forehead where the implant was, "down." <> "Alright. Would it be easier for us to split into groups or stay as a whole?" Just as she finished asking that question, she heard a voice over the COM. "ALL HANDS THIS IS COLONEL LEMSSINX, THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED ALL HANDS REPORT TO DEFENCE STATIONS." Turning back to look at the group, they all exchanged looks. "Nevermind, " she mumbled to herself, although she knew someone heard her. "Well at any rate they know now......might as well go out with a bang." (Reply: Wilson, any) (Posted by: Stacey) ________________ (Cryton IV- Citadell- TAC/SO- Ensign Tagon- 0310) ________________ Moving stealthily down a hall was not one of Tagon's specialties. His body took up most of the hallway. Dr. Mackenzie had managed to squeeze by him and take the lead. He could see her glance back once or twice at his undressed form. ~I have got to find some clothes.~ When the announcement came through the halls of their escaped Dru began to prepare himself for battle. "Well at any rate they know now," Wilson said, "......might as well go out with a bang." Tagon looked back at him with an evil look in his eyes. "Well I feel sorry," Wilson said, " for them that is." As they came to a corner Dru could sense something. There was a smell in the air. A smell of fear and weapons. "Time to die," he whispered to himself. A hand reached out and pulled the doctor back just as enrgy weapon fire started. "Right people time to get our hands dirty," Wilson ordered. "Lt James and Ensign Tagon can you head to that room once we deal with these and get our equipment mainly com badges." "Aye sir," Tagon replied. "And maybe some pants?" "Well is everyone ready?" he asked. They all nodded. Wilson led the assault as he had the only real weapon. Tagon moved slowly across the hallway, using his body to protect the others. Several of the sonic blaster shots hit him. He felt them, but was able to keep going. One shot caught him close to the groin. That was it. In a fit of rage Tagon headed down the hall. He grabbed the guards by the door and slammed them together. He dropped their unconscious bodies to the floor. After that, the fight in the other Crytonians seemed to have left them, as they were leaving the area. "James, Tagon get our equipment!" came Wilson's orders. "On it, " Tagon said. He and Lt. James headed for the storage room. Once they got there, the door was, of course, locked. Tagon looked at James. James started to work on the lock. Dru shook his head and gently moved the Lt. aside. "Excuse me Lt.," he said politely. Then a little less politely he slammed his hands into the door, which quickly became unhinged. (reply James) "Just trying to save some time, sir," Tagon said. Once inside they saw their equipment. There was a clothes locker there too. Dru searched through all of the clothing only to find one pair of pants, that were still too small. It was better than what he had on, which was nothing. Now, somewhat covered, and holding their belongings, Tagon followed James back to the group. (reply James, any) (posted by Al Muir) ________________ (Cryton IV- Citadell- Marine James- 0310) ________________ After clearing out the room of the guards, James heard the order to retrieve the equipment from the FO. Quickly James moved towards the only armored door in the wide expanse of the room. David meticulously went to work on the lock; he heard a booming, deep cough from behind him. "Excuse me Lt.," he said politely. Then a little less politely he slammed his hands into the door, which quickly became unhinged. "Mr. Tagon, I like your style" David smiled widely at the Brikkar. (Reply Tagon) "Have I ever told you that you remind me of an old friend I had back at home?, we used to call him 'Tank'. Built like one and all." ~And look where it got him, eh?~ Suppressing the gloomy feelings, Dave examined the dark corners of the store-room. David's mood instantly lightened when he saw four crates, each bearing the Starfleet Marine Corp emblem. "Hello, Hello, Hello. What have we got here then?" (Reply Tagon) David opened the hermalogical seals of the first box and whistled loudly. The first box was full of Marine Phaser Rifles, all loaded and ready for action. Another couple of seals and a full crate of phaser ammo was revealed. A loud hissing was heard as the atmosphere in the box stabilised. David silently gasped as he saw a full BDU in its transportation packing. ~It's too bad I am the only one trained to use this.~ David's grin widened even more. ~Stop kidding yourself, no it isn't!~ James laughed to himself. The third contained plasma grenades. ~Wow, better get these to the troops~ David rushed back into the main room and yelled to the crew there. "Weapons in that back room. Come and get your shiny new phaser rifles and commbadges" (Reply Any) It took James only a few minutes to suit up in the heavy BDU but after he felt, quite understandably much more powerful, with the mechanised armour behind him and the phaser rifle in hand, he felt right at home. Activating the Pallas helmet, checking the secure Starfleet channel was available and called; =^= James to all units, please report position and status. Tactical Mobile Command Centre protocol activated=^= NRPG: For all of you who have no clue what that means, basically the Pallas helmet has advanced tactical overview with tactical and very strong tricorders installed. Also it means that "I am a big stompy robot, Mech-warrior style. The definition of Heavy Support and the best suited for any combat situation. Also please note that my Marine is now armed to the teeth and ready for any guards. ~Gawd, good to be back in the driving seat of one of these again. Lets clear myself a way out of this hell-hole.~ (Reply All) (Posted by Guy Hudson) ___________________________ (Cryton IV -Citadel-Implant room-Ensign Ryan Johnson -03:15) ___________________________ Ryan followed T'Vanek into the room. Inside the room was what looked like a doctors office. In the middle of the room there was an examination table along with what looked like surgey tools on a tray next to the table. On the right side of the door was what looked to be a desk and on the left side of the room was a console facing the table with a glass cabinet behind it. "I think that this is the room we are suppose to be looking for." Ryan said to T'Vanek (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan walked over to the cabinet and looked throught the glass. "Sir. there are some uninstalled implants in the cabinet. This is the room were are looking for." (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan looked at the console a saw that there were lights on knobs, and switche's on the console. By each small light there was a switch and under the switch was a knob. Ryan looked at T'Vanek "This must be the implant controls. How do you what to handle this?" (Reply T'Vanek) (Posted By John Statler) _________________________ (Cryton IV, Citadell, Room 101 - a-CO Cmdr Vladek Rofellian - 03.20) _________________________ Vladek wasn't very proud of him, he should have guessed that this sneaking rat would have killed the Ensign anyway, he was inwardly believing that there was still some humanity in that man. But it seemed that Bilar Crais wasn't anymore a living creature in the literal sense, he had become something cold almost like a stone, even Ensign Tagon who was a rock creature had more humanity than that butcher. If he had continued to torture him, Vladek wouldn't have revealed the codes, he was stronger enought to resist for a while and his life didn't matter but Crais had found his weak point. Even if he was born Romulan, Vladek had been raised amongst humans, there he had learned all the feelings that someone could feel. He was Romulan outside and human inside, in seeing the pain that the young Ensign was enduring, it's is human side who has yelled the command codes. This mission was a real catastrophy, he had made lot of mistakes and he was regretting that he hadn't followed his sixth sense which was telling him to be more suspicious about all that. Now all his crew was sentenced to death, his ship was in the hands of the Crytonian Black Order and now with the command codes they were able to use her firepower. What a mess, then a voice coming from the communication speakers interrupted his thoughts "ALL HANDS THIS IS COLONEL LEMSSINX, THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED ALL HANDS REPORT TO DEFENCE STATIONS." ~ Yeah, I knew that I could count on them, what a crew, but wait a minute I know that voice and that name Lemssinx, damned, son of ..., we were pretty sure he wasn't an Ambassador. So he is a Colonel and he seemed to have some autorities here. I would give anything to have him handy, bloody bastaard.~ Vladek thought in hearing some noises in the corridor, people were running then he distinctively heard fire blasts and sonic weapons. Then the silence, another blast followed by a kick on the door which opened it. Lt. Wilson followed by the CMO entered and came in his direction ~ finally some friendly faces~~, Vladek was still strapped on his chair "Kaitlyn do something for him," John ordered moving over as well. "Ok....some of these devices I've seen and removed before. I can take some of them off, but others I'm not so sure. It would be better if we could get back to the ship and do it......but since that's not exactly an option at the moment, we'll just have to be able to block the sensor so they can't track him or anything." stated the Doctor. "Right, just make him ready to travel," John ordered then looking over Vladek, he began to undo the straps that had binded him, smiling John spoke softly "See what a mess you get in without me,". " Well John, next time..... I'll let you my place.... with pleasure." Vladek replied, his ideas still confused "Well Kaitlyn what is the prognosis?" John enquired. "He'll be okay for now, but the sooner we can get the rest off, the better. I'll also have to do a complete physical when we get back to make sure everything else is fine." Kaitlyn frowned. "However, with the neurological damage, that might take awhile to repair. It depends on how bad the voltage was and how many times he was shocked." "Right, for the mean time as long as he is fit to travel lets deal with the other problems later. We have faith in you," John stated " Same for me Doctor but I can't help you more, I can't remember how many times he has send me the voltage but I'm feeling like I've spend the night with an electric eel but I'm not yet death" he replied in trying to stand up but his legs didn't seemed to support his weight and felt back on the chair " Oh, oh, I've overestimated one's strengh." then looking around " Guys, if you are planning to move out here now, I think you'll have to carry me for a while." (Reply any) They were about to help Vladek standing up when the viewscreen fixed on one of the walls lighted up, revealing the face of the false Ambassador " Ah, Commander Rofellian, glad to see that you are still alive. I didn't wanted to leave before thanking you for giving me so gently the command codes of your ship." Vladek looked up and stared him in the eyes " You should thank Mr Crais for that, he has some persuasives arguments, Ambassador or should I say Colonel Lemssinx from the Black Order." " Seeing how you look Cmdr, I can imagine the treatment he has done to you and I apologize for him. And don't worry I've thanked him well, he is laying on my office's carpet. A great loss for our Secret Service but sometimes certain things must be done." the Colonel explained " You are worst than him Colonel and if I get my hands on you, I ..." but the Colonel didn't let him finished " You won't have that pleasure Cmdr, I prefer to have no witnesses so for your information, the Citadell will be destroyed in approximativelly thirty minutes by several explosions. Another terrorist attack from the CLO of course which has caused the death of all the Federation people. What a shame, enjoy what's left." and the screen went black. " Damned bastaard, let's move out of this building before we receive it on our heads." Vladek stated while they were moving out of the room, in looking a last time at the death body of the young Ensign on the floor. (Posted by Patrick Buidin) ________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - Commanders officer - Bilar Crais - 03:30) ________________ "Colonel Lemssinx," Crais stated entering the room brandishing a pad. "The Commander has given us the information we required," Crais did not smile but the colonel beamed with a pleasurable smile. "Well done Crais, I will transmit this to the Station," As Colonel Lemssinx received the pad and ran his hand over the metal an officer ran in. "Colonel my apologies, the guards on the cell deck have not replied nor have the guards on the implant deck," The guard took a deep breath. "Colonel might I surgest full mobilization of all forces and the sealing of the deck the marines are on. Also seal of the building and implement all containment force fields. Plus I think we should take our leave," Crais stated the colonel nodded in agreement and then pressed a red button on his desk. "ALL HANDS THIS IS COLONEL LEMSSINX, THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED ALL HANDS REPORT TO DEFENCE STATIONS," Lemssinx stated down the com, Crais raised an eyebrow. "You didn't tell them we are evacuating," Crais stated, Lemssinx smiled and moved closer to Crais. As Lemssinx laid his hand on Crais's shoulder he then felt a sharp blow to his back in a instant reaction he attempted to defend but Lemssinx pushed the blade in further pushing it up through Crais' s back. As he felt to his knees Crais finally laughed for the first time in years, placing his hand to his back he felt the wound and then sat on his knees laughing. Lemssinx moved to Crais's side and knelt by his side. "Crais, I forgot to tell you. You executed my father and my mother, now they are avenged. Oh and the base shall explode in 30 minutes of course an act perpetrated by the CLO who also disabled the Mirthandir and held its crew at this location. So unfortunately our federation allies will of course come to our aid after one of our own, was turned by the CLO," Lemssinx smiled and moved out of the room. Crais fell on to his back finally being happy; the end was here finally it was time to see his wife. Crais did not cry or scream out in pain he just laughed finally being set free.

They had us in the same room. If you want I can lead you the cell.....as long as Johnson and T'Vanek get to the control room and shut these...things, " "Brilliant one guide is good two is better," John stated liking the chances more and more. "Alright. Would it be easier for us to split into groups or stay as a whole?" Just as John was about to respond a voice called out over the com. "ALL HANDS THIS IS COLONEL LEMSSINX, THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED ALL HANDS REPORT TO DEFENCE STATIONS." John listened carefully to the voice that seemed strangely familiar. As it finally came to realisation it was the voice of the ambassador that had been on the Mirthandir. "Well at any rate they know now......might as well go out with a bang." John smiled and turned to them all. "Well I feel sorry," John smiled and checked the power setting on the pistol. " For them that is," John then continued to follow Ensign Tagon and Lt Mackenzie who seemed to agree on destination. As they turned a corner John's heart began to beat faster something was not right something was out of place as they were about to turn the corner where Vladek's cell was located John realised. As Kaitlyn walked around the corner John grabbed her by the arm and yanked her back and threw against the wall just out of momentum. As she hit the wall several blasts flew down the corridor. "Right people time to get our hands dirty," John stated smiling at David. (Reply any in Vladek retrieval squad) "Lt James and Ensign Tagon can you head to that room once we deal with these and get our equipment mainly com badges. (Reply James & Tagon) "Brilliant, Kaitlyn you are with me if you don't mind. Vladek may need medical attention when we get to him," (Reply Mackenzie) "Well is every one ready?" (Reply VRS) John ran around the corner with the rest of the group firing blast after blast running directly at the assembled guards. As each guard fired there return volley John did not feel any wound nor hear any one else's screams. Therefore it stood to reason that none had been hit, Once the hum of the sonic weapons had died down John looked down the corridor the bodies of the guards that had been protecting the room were lying on the floor and several were running off down the corridor. "James, Tagon get our equipment," John stated pushing his pistol up against the keypad on the door and firing. (Reply James and Tagon) As the door panel glew green John threw his entire weight behind one kick that swung the door open to reveal a room. As John moved inside he was conscious of Kaitlyn being behind him as they moved quietly into the room. John took in a breath; Vladek had been strapped to a shinny metal chair with various devices all over him. "Kaitlyn do something for him," John ordered moving over as well to unstrap his friend. (Reply Kaitlyn) Looking over Vladek John began to undo the straps that had binded him, smiling John spoke softly. "See what a mess you get in with out me," John stated smiling. (Reply Vladek) "Well Kaitlyn what is the prognosis?" (Reply Kaitlyn) (Reply Mackenzie, Tagon, James, Vladek, any) (Posted By Richard Bowes) ____________________________ (Cryton IV - Citadel - Implant room- Chief Counslor- Ensign Ryan Johnson - 03:30) ____________________________ Ryan took his phaser out and fired it at the implant control board. With a grin. "Well this should take care of the implants. "ALL HANDS THIS IS COLONEL LEMSSINX, THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED ALL HANDS REPORT TO DEFENCE STATIONS," Ryan jumped up and looked around as the voice seemed to come from no where. Ryan looked around the room and say T'Vanek with no emotion looking back at him. ~Just because your Vulcan, you should have at least a little shocked look on your face. The man is like stone. Vulcan's are lucky sometimes they do there job and not worry about emotions.~ "T'Vanek. I think we should get those two guards outside and bring them into the room. That way it will look like they left instead of being knocked out.." Ryan said go to the door and into the hallway. (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan and T'Vanek dragged both bodies into the lab and layed them side by side. Ryan looked at one of the guards and had a big smile on his face. "You know that one guard looks about my size. How about if I dress up as a guard and I could act like I'm escorting you to the cells or something." (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan started to undress the guard. T'Vanek tied up the other guard with wires that he pulled out of a consol. As Ryan started to put the guards cloths on T'Vanek tied up the other guard. Ryan heard foot steps pass by the door outside the lab. Ryan stood up and grab his phaser off the table. "Well I guess this is our cue to exit this lab and find the rest of the crew." Ryan said as he was walking to the door. (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan reached the door first and T'Vanek was right behind him when all of a sudden the door opened up and a man walked in with a surprised look on his face. The man was about 5' 6" and a little stocky built. Ryan stood in the doorway towering the man and blocking him from entering. "What are you doing in there." The man said. Without giving Ryan time to answer. "I did not give any orders for guards to be in this room. And what happend to the guards I had placed outside the doors." the was waiting for an answer. T'Vanek moved to the right side of the door and leaned up against it with a phaser at the ready just in case he had to use it. ~This can't must not be with security but a doctor or something for him not to know that I don't belong here.~ With a staight face Ryan looked the man in his eyes. "Sir. Who do you think you are barking out questions. I'm here because there are prisoners on the loose and I have been asigned to stand guard inside this room until further notice. And I am not allowed to let anyone in here until all the prisoners are caught." Ryan raised up his phaser and looked at the man in the eyes without blinking. "By the way I have never met you before. Who are you and what are you doing here." Ryan said starting to see the man slowly back up into the hallway. ~I hope this bluffing works. If it don't at least I have a good shot at this man.~ "I'm Gaber Yicks." The man said with power in his voice. Almost yelling. "I help the doctor install the implants." The short man said still backing into the hallway. " Ryan followed the man into the hallway still looking at the short man. As Ryan entered the hallway he noticed that there were two guards standing at the T-secetion of the hallway now looking at him and the short man. Both guards turned and started to walk towards Ryan and and the man. The man saw Ryan's face and turned to see what Ryan was looking at. The short man yelled at the guards. "He not a real guard he's one of the missing prisoners" the short man looked bad at Ryan and smiled. Ryan shot the man with the phaser that he had pointed at him and jumped back into the room. "T'Vanek there's two guards coming down the hall after me." (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan stood up fast and ran around the implant table. T'Vanek stood next to the door with his phaser pointed at the door. The door opened up and one of the guards walked into the room and saw Ryan standing there looking at him. As the first guard walked in Ryan looked at him with a smile. "Well I guess you found me." The second guard walked into the lab and seeing Ryan smiling at the both of them. "Why are you smiling at us. Don't you know all your friends are dead and that we are going to torcher you and then kill you." The second guard said smiling back at Ryan. T'Vanek stepped out from where he was hiding and shot the second guard in the back with out saying anything. The first guard turned around to see what was happening and was shot by T'Vanek in the stomch. "Thanks T'Vanek. I owe you a drink when we get back to the station." Ryan said as he was going to the hallway door. (Reply T'Vanek) Ryan reached the hallway and say the short man still knocked out on the floor. Ryan grabbed the mans leg's and pulled him inside the lab. T'Vanek stood by the door and watch as Ryan tied up the short man. (Reply T'vanek) (Posted by John Statler) ________________ (Cryton IV- Citadell- TAC/SO- Ensign Tagon- 0330) ________________ Dru went about collecting the communicator badges. He heard Lt. James say, "Hello,hello, hello. what have we got here then?" He went over to see several, sealed boxes with Starfleet insignias on them. The marine started opening the boxes and pulled out seveal weapons. The first box contained phaser rifles. James offered one to Tagon, which he redily accepted. "For me?" Tagon quipped, "you really shouldn't have. But I'm glad you did." The other boxes contained several other items, including plasma grenades. With their arms full the two returned to the group. Tagon had once seen a movie about Christmas where a person carried in arm fulls of brightly wrapped gifts. They weren't wrapped, but Dru felt as if it were Christmas. "Weapons in that back room." James said. "Come and get your shiny new phaser rifles and commbadges." ""Merry Christmas all," Tagon said. Now was the first time he had an opportunity to see Commander Roffellian. He saw the condition he was in and Dr. Mackenzie working on him. The anger and frustration he had felt towards Cais and Lemssinx just increase. They had caused him to fail at his primary task, protect the commander. They would pay dearly. He came up to commander to appologize for his lacking and heard them talking. Then Rofellian tried to stand, unsuccessfully. "Oh, oh, I've overestimated one's strengh." Hen looked around. "Guys, if you are planning to move out here now, I think you'll have to carry me for a while." Tagon stepped forward. "That would be my honor." Before Tagon could move the viewscren behind them flickered on and showed Lemssinx, smiling down at them. Wehn he told them he had killed Crais himself Dru went from feeling happy to angry again. He wanted that pleasure to be his alone. Ah well, at least he was dead and there was some comfort in that. Lemssinx went on to explain how the Citidel was about to blow up in 30 minutes. "What a shame," Lemssinx said. "Lemssinx," Tagon growled, "I always keep my promises." At that the screen went blank. " Damned bastaard," Rofellian said, "let's move out of this building before we receive it on our heads." Tagon deftly reached down and hoisted the commander into is arms, holding him as if he were a baby. He looked down at the Rofellian and asked, "Comfy?" (reply Rofellian) Then he tried to speak his anguish at not performing his duties adequetly. "Commander, I..." (reply Rofellian) At that he didn't say another word as he carried Rofellian, following the others. (reply Rofellian, any) (posted by Al Muir) _________________________ (Cryton IV, Citadell, Room 101 - a-CO Cmdr Vladek Rofellian - 03:35) _________________________ The massive Brikkar hoisted Vladek into is arms, holding him as if he were a baby. Vladek was a little embarrassed by the situation but it was for the moment the only way for him to move, his legs were still refusing to hold him Tagon looked down at Vladek and asked, "Comfy?" " Well Ensign, in those arms I would travel till the end of the world." Vladek replied Then he noticed that the Security Officer was about to say something about the current situation "Commander, I..." But Vladek didn't let him finished " You've nothing to blame yourself Ensign, As your Commanding Officer I'm the only responsible, I should have taken our suspicions more seriously." At that he didn't say another word as he carried Vladek, following the others out of the torture room. (Posted by Patrick Buidin) _______________ (Cryton IV-Citadel-Lt. (Jg) CMO Kaitlyn Mackenzie-03:35) _______________ Tagon and Kaitlyn were in front, leading the rest of the team to Rofellian. So far they had been successful. Thanks to them, at least the whole group wouldn't be stuck there trying to find them instead. Kaitlyn had just reached a corner and was about to turn right. Just as she was about to turn, she felt someone grab her arm and pull her back. She realized it was John after she hit the wall next to him. Then she heard the firing of guns and knew why he did what he did. But that wasn't anything they couldn't handle with the team of people they had. "Right people time to get our hands dirty," John stated. Kaitlyn listened as he started giving out orders to people. "Brilliant, Kaitlyn you are with me if you don't mind. Vladek may need medical attention when we get to him." "Lets just hope he isn't in too deep. I'm not sure how much equipment we'll have that I can help him with at this moment." Looking down in thought, she started thinking about other things she might be able to use if she absolutly had to......just to be on the safe side and all. Soon after he handed out the assignments, they were all on their way. John and Kaitlyn weren't too far away from the room where Vladek was being held. Before she knew it, John was kicking in the door. Kaitlyn wasn't prepared to take in the sight of Vladek though. Seeing him like this was entirely different. He was strapped to a chair with a lot more devices on him than were on her to begin with. "Kaitlyn do something for him," John ordered. The only thing they could both do at the moment was unstrap Vladek. Stopping, she thought for a moment. "Ok....some of these devices I've seen and removed before. I can take some of them off, but others I'm not so sure. It would be better if we could get back to the ship and do it......but since that's not exactly an option at the moment, we'll just have to be able to block the sensor so they can't track him or anything." <> It took Kaitlyn a few moments to unwire some of the devices from others, but she got about 85% of them off. "Well Kaitlyn what is the prognosis?" "He'll be okay for now, but the sooner we can get the rest off , the better. I'll also have to do a complete physical when we get back to make sure everything else is fine." Kaitlyn frowned. "However, with the neurological damage, that might take awhile to repair. It depends on how bad the voltage was and how many times he was shocked." <> "I'll do the best I can." (Reply: Wilson, any) (Posted by: Stacey) _______________________ (Cryton IV-Citadel Room 101 - a-FO/CONN/OPS Lt. John Wilson - 03:35) _______________________ John looked at his friend who did not seem in a good shape, as Jon thought about one goal which was revenge Kaitlyn's voice snapped him back to reality. "Ok.... some of these devices I've seen and removed before. I can take some of them off, but others I'm not so sure. It would be better if we could get back to the ship and do it...but since that's not exactly an option at the moment, we'll just have to be able to block the sensor so they can't track him or anything." "Right, just make him ready to travel," John ordered not being blunt but there wasn't much time at all. "Well Kaitlyn what is the prognosis?" John enquired having full faith in her medical abilities. "He'll be okay for now, but the sooner we can get the rest off, the better. I'll also have to do a complete physical when we get back to make sure everything else is fine." Kaitlyn frowned. "However, with the neurological damage, that might take awhile to repair. It depends on how bad the voltage was and how many times he was shocked." "Right, for the mean time as long as he is fit to travel lets deal with the other problems later. We have faith in you," John stated speaking on his own behalf and that of Vladek. "I'll do the best I can." Kaitlyn replied, John turned and moved out of the room and spotted Tagon and James. Tagon now wore pants, which was a good move however due to his size the pants were not the best of fits. John paused and did not speak for a while trying to remember who he resembled but then dropped the train of thought. As he received a com badge he began to think.

He was en route to the space station where the Federation ship was docked, he had the command codes with him, with those in a few hours, the CLO base will be completely destroyed and all the resistance movement will be eradicate. It was a pity they couldn't keep the Defiant Class after the attack but it was too risky, his plan was simple, after the destruction of the miningbase, they'll crashed the ship into the ruins. So for the Federation, the ship will be destroyed and all the crew will be dead in trying to rescue the hostages. All the remaining federation people will spend the rest of their life in the mines and no one would heard of them anymore. (Posted by Patrick Buidin) ========END OF COMPILE========
