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.

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 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.

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.

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 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."

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.਍ഀ ਍ഀ (Reply Any)਍ഀ (Posted By Richard Bowes)਍ഀ ਍ഀ _____________________਍ഀ ਍ഀ (Crytonian shuttle Abraxxas, cockpit - Colonel Kromir Lemssinx - 03:35)਍ഀ _____________________਍ഀ ਍ഀ With the escape of the prisoners, all the planning was modified, the attack਍ഀ on the CLO HQ was normally scheduled for 15:00 in the afternoon but now with਍ഀ the explosion of the Citadell in almost 25 minutes, they had to speed up਍ഀ things.਍ഀ ਍ഀ 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.
