The Illuminar has been at Bajor for twenty-four hours and it has been an eventful time. The Captain has taken the decision to land the ship on the planet's surface and I am happy to report that there have been no issues with the technical aspects of doing so. Engineering reports green across the boards and are continuing to use the time on the surface to check on vital systems to make sure that our time within the subspace river didn't damage anything. I have a few Security concerns around the ship being on the ground for so long and have shared them with Lieutenant Commander Sekal and Lieutenant Verin-Williams who don't seem to be as concerned. Once we have finished our mission here on Bajor, I will be looking into requesting a higher amount of Security personnel so that if this happens again we have enough man-power to secure the ship fully. Even though I am no longer a Security Officer I must use time in my log to commend the Security department on the Illuminar under the command of Ensign Saarsgard, Ensign Hammerfield & Ensign Talence. Within the last twenty-four hours they have been called upon several times as our position here on Bajor begins to grow untenable. I myself was involved in an attack which befell our most senior officers whilst on a diplomatic mission to meet with the Dean Vedek within the Temple Hotel. I regret to report that we have had some officers killed whilst out on duty and an officer kidnapped. Ensign Taya, our acting Chief Engineering Officer is the officer who has gone missing. We have SAR teams searching for her and still hope to find and rescue her before she too is lost to us. Science, Medical & Engineering teams continue to work within the Temple in an attempt to discover what is causing the illness which is spreading rapidly. Captain Sekal has negotiated with the Vedek Council that most all of the ill should be transported from within the Temple, but the Kai remains- a choice made by the council which has frustrated the Captain and the Dean Vedek.

Mission: ?The Root of Decay Day: 19 Stardate: 2445.09.19 (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0845) * * Gregory crawled under the transporter controls and started taking off various access plates.? With each plate, he hooked in a series of wires that were connected to the different devices on his cart. ? After completing that, he moved to the access panel by the transporter bank itself. * * ?We?re going to need to adjust the angular confinement between the 0.1 and 1.2 based on our simulations,? he said as he wired his probes to the cart.? ?We are also going to want to monitor the targeting scanner sensitivity.? If it goes above 1000 coincident counts, we?re going to have a problem.? * * =^= Computer, please increase the pattern buffer matrix capacity by 25%.? Recommend taking Holodeck 2 off-line and divert capacity to Transporter room 2. =^= * * Gregory stood behind his boxes of wires and started pulling out isolinear chips, placing them in the computer on the left side of his monitors. * * ?There we go, I think we?re ready to start at least getting the scanners working on the area.? Let?s find an out of the way place to start our work.? * * (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? the gang - 0910) * * Cadet Pria Valar, the dark skinned brown haired and emerald green eyed exotic looking Trill from Engineering walked calmly into the Transporter Room. She carried a test kit with her, and looked around for a moment. With a nod to the Chief, she frowned as she peered, ?Hi? I?m Cadet Valar, newly assigned.? I was told to report here by the duty supervisor in Engineering.? The very young seeming woman stood there shyly, but in her eyes he could see the wealth of memories that came from being joined.? ?Are you Ensign Gregory? I have been instructed to be your right hand, the Ensign said.? Not familiar with human expressions she seemed a little confused by the saying. ?What may I do to assist you?? * * Gregory looked up at the Trill who entered. ?Ah? Welcome Ms. Valar to the madhouse.? A third pair of hands will definitely be helpful.? Did you have any specialties at the academy?? * * Luma was watching Gregory in interest.? He had called upon the computer, which she was and was not.? That sense that many of the crew had when she was turning her attention to a particular area seemed to fill the space.? =^= Yes what is the Dieter doing? =^= Luma asked, causing Pria to jump a bit at the voice that came from nowhere and everywhere. She had been introduced to Luma but didn?t understand what she was. * * Gregory looked up.? ~I forgot about Luma~ * * ?Hello Luma.? Thanks for stopping by.? Your help will be appreciated as well,? he said.? ?There is this area on Bajor, around the temple area, that is preventing us from transporting our people.? We can still scan the area and see what is going on, but there is some sort of scatting field in place that is impacting the transportation signal.? * * ?We discovered it last night, and while I was at the Operations station yesterday, I did as much probing of the field as I could.? With Science off on another mission, I sent the data to my mate on DS9, Murdok and we set up a series of simulations to try to model the scatter and see if we could punch our way through it.? I?ve been setting up the initial monitors,? he waved his hand to the cart next to the transportation console, with wires connecting to various parts of the transporter controls and the transporter matrix on the side of the pad. * * ?So that?s what we?re doing here.? Our model has some ranges that we want to test to see if they help and punch through the field.? I?ve got a hookup to Murdok on the station and he?ll be adding the data we generate to see if we can refine and understand what is going on. ? * * ?So then Luma, Ms. Valar, that is the mission.? We figure out the way to punch through the field, be able to move our people in and out, and as we say ?Bob?s your uncle.? * * Chief S?Kakz listened with interest.? ?Fascinating.? Do you believe this will work Ensign?? * * ?Chief, I?m an empirical kinda guy.? I like data and with the data we can solve almost anything.? I would be chuffed if I don?t cock up my first real assignment.? * * ?Any other questions?? * * ?Luma, can you take holodeck 2 offline so we can use it as an extra pattern buffer?? * * Gregory looked around, ?Ms. Valar, why don?t you come and monitor the Heisenberg compensator relays.? We?re focused on angular confinement field strength first, but there is some speculation that the scattering field is impacting the Heisenberg compensators as well.? * * With Pria in place,? Gregory and S?Kakz lifted the first of the transportation test probes onto the Pad. * * (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? the gang - 0920) * * ?OK, test one.? Modulating angular confinement beam field strength through 0.2.? Chief S?Kakz, energize please.? * * The Saurian activated the transporter scanners, picking a location and feeding that to Gregory?s monitor. He moved his fingers, activating the transporter sequence.? The standard glow of the transporter started ?. And stalled? * * ?Ensign Gregory, the transporter cannot be complete.?? Chief S?Kakz said * * ?Increasing field strength to 0.4.? Ms. Valar, increase Heisenberg compensator at psi theta by Planck's constant times sigma p.? * * ?It?s working,? the chief said as the probe disappeared from the transporter pad.? ?I have the signal on the plane.? The probe is there.? * * ?That?s odd,?? Gregory said as he looked at the data the probe was returning. * * ?Lets bring it back.? Be ready Ms. Valar to adjust those compensators again.? * * S?Kakz locked on to the probe and started the transporter cycle again.? The three worked in unison adjusting controls to bring the probe home. * * Finally, it finished materializing on the transporter pad, but not in the shape it left.? Rather than the nice linear probe, it was crumpled and missing parts of the structure. * * ?Umm..? Gregory said.? ?Ms. Valar, can you see if any dataports are left to download the data from?? Luma, can you scan the probe and see if you pick up anything strange? * * Pria did as she was ordered, competently and quietly.? She was not an expert on the systems, but Luma was. * * =^= Luma does not know what the Dieter is looking for. He will tell her? =^= * * ?Ah, yes, that?s a good point Luma.? So the probe is destroyed.? I?m curious as to any strange particles that might be on the probe. What caused the crumpling?? That sort of thing.? I must say I?m taking a shot in the dark, but we certainly don?t want to beam crew over if that is the result.? * * ?Ms. Valar, good job.? Why don?t you come here and look at the data with me.? Two eyes are better than one. ? * * In the meantime,? S?Kakz was running his own diagnosis. ?Ensign, the system performed within established parameters.? Perhaps this field modulation you are doing is not the answer.? * * ?First test Chief.? We need more data.? * * ?Sir,? the cade said, ?Looking at the data, I?m noticing that there is a decaying Omicron radiation field on the probe.? Based on the initial decay calculations, there appear to be two separate events, which coincide with the transport of the probe through the field, and again back to the ship.? * * ?Interesting find Ms. Valar,? Gregory replied.? ?I?m going to forward this data to a colleague who is good at this sort of analysis.? * * (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0930) * * =^= Gregory to Deep Space Nine, I need Ensign Murdok. =^= * * =^= DS 9 acknowledged.? Patching you to his station.? =^= * * =^= Friend Gregory, how are the tests proceeding? =^= * * =^= I am sending data to you now.? First test was a disaster.? And we?re noticing a decaying Omicron field as well.? However, there is no indication on our sensors of Omicron particles in the area. =^= * * =^= This is curious.? Can you send another probe that is calibrated to Omicron Particles.? =^= * * ?Chief, let?s get the second probe up there.? Gregory said.? ?Cadet, can you calibrate the probes sensors to detect Omicron Radiation.? Also setup matter and antimatter detectors.? Have the data monitored constantly.? We?ll have to adjust the Heisenberg compensators to make sure we get reading through transport.? * * After the Saurian and Gregory got the probe on the pad, they stepped back to let the Cadent Valar work.? In the meantime, Gregory started working on the scanners while S?Kakz tuned the Heisenberg compensators. * * =^= Ops, this is Gregory, I need control of lateral scanner array 2 to work on the transporter issue. =^= * * =^= Ops Acknowledged.? Sifting control to your station =^= * * ?The probe is calibrated Sir,? Cadet Valar said. * * ?Excellent.? Thank you.? I?m glad you were sent up here.? Many hands make light work.? * * Running through his checklist.? ?Probe is set.? Compensators are adjusted.? Scanners are ready.? * * ?Chief, energize.? * * The familiar sound of the transporter cycling filled the room as the probe disappeared from view.? Gregory watched the scanners closely. * * ?There,? he said as the scanners started popping up readings.? ?There it is.? * * S?Kakz looked at the readings. ?That is impossible.? * * ?We have a few more things to eliminate, but it looks like our transporter field is affecting the scattering field around the temple.? And in so doing, causing a matter-antimatter reaction that is producing Omicron radiation.? * * ?When we first encountered the Vissian?s, a species that is resistant to Omicron radiation, an inoculation was developed to provide protection against the radiation that their warp cores emitted.? I wonder if medical can synthesize that compound.? * * (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0945) ** ?Let's bring the probe back, Chief, and see what we learn.? ?Energizing,? said the chief. As the probe started to materialize, the alarm klaxon started to sound.? ?There is a buildup of energy in the transporter field,? S?Kakz called out, ?It?s destabilizing the probe matrix.? As the probe materialized on the transporter pad there was a loud screeching.? Suddenly, the probe started to turn red and exploded.? The emergency safety protocols snapped a force shield down, but not before the concussive wave knocked the three Crew to the ground. =^= Medical to Transporter room 2 =^= S?Kakz called out on his comm badge.? =^= Engineering to Transporter room 2 =^= Gregory helped Cadet Valar to her feet before turning to the controls and looking at the data.? ?This is not good, not good at all.? =^= Gregory to Murdok, I?m sending data now.?

"We have a working theory as to what's causing the disease in the temple, and now we need to prove or disprove it. And since energy fields are involved, we could use some help from an engineer like yourself."He said. Stennin nodded. The ensign seemed on edge, quite possibly due to the events surrounding her department. Stennin had heard an Engineer had gone missing, but he knew little of what was happening now. ?I?m all yours. Anything to keep my mind off what could be happening to Taya.? she said. Stennin detected a slight tremor in the woman, and nodded softly.

"Have a seat Lieutenant." Jaton did as he was told, and sat in the proffered chair. He began to open his mouth, but his voice failed him. He realised he was sitting there with his mouth open a second or so later and shut it again. The Trill appeared uncomfortable, fidgeting as he was at the edge of the seat. "I believe there is an old terran expression that is apropos here and that would be 'spill it' Lieutenant Alyl." He cocked his head as he waited for the reply. ?Well, sir,? he began, ?you told me earlier during our morning brief to be sure not to touch or come into contact with the orbs in my study of them.? Sekal nodded. "Indeed." ?Well sir, that?s just the thing. Last night in scanning them, I opened one of the orbs.? The Vulcan leaned forward and interlaced his fingers. "I interpret from your perceived need of confession that there was a reaction from the orb." Jaton nodded, words failing him once again. "And that was?" Sekal prodded. ?I had a vision of the birth of my children. And the Prophets implied that they might have had a hand in bringing me back. But I can?t be sure. It?s something I?m still trying to process myself. I?ve never been a spiritual person before so to have an experience like this is truly profound.? The Vulcan was silent for a moment as he considered the ramifications of the statement. "If these prophets did have a hand in your revitalization as you believe possible then it is logical they would have used an orb at some point to contact you. Did they shed any enlightenment on our current dilemma?" ?No, or if they did, I didn?t catch it.? "Curious. Have you drawn any conclusions on their purpose in contacting you?" ?I?m not sure they purposefully contacted me. At first, they seemed more perplexed by my presence than anything. It was only once one of them explained the nature of who the Trill are that this seemed to dissipate. I think it might have been Captain Sisko.? The Vulcan considered the ramifications of this. "That would indeed be enlightening if so. Captain Sisko's final status has been listed as missing and his body was never found. Did the one who might have been Sisko speak to you? What did he say?" ?He explained about the dual nature of joined Trill and mentioned that one of his best friends was a Trill. He didn?t seem to know me personally though.? "Curious. This is unexpected. Visions from the orbs are a well documented phenomenon, Captain Sisko himself logged his encounters as well as in the wormhole with extra-dimensional aliens which appeared to be disembodied or fluid in form and taking on the shape of known individuals. This brings up the possibility that Captain Sisko himself was not there but one of these 'Prophets' may have been using his guise." He leaned back as he digested this, the fingers of his right hand moving slightly upon the desktop as he was deep in thought. His eyesight was turned inward due to the depth of his concentration, his eyes slitted. A resolution of Captain Sisko's final whereabouts would be beneficial, was he indeed now in their dimension? The possibility of this was logical but a final diagnosis of the question would be elusive. To prove his presence would be difficult considering the ability of the aliens to assume other forms or more accurately to take on the shape of known individuals from a person's past?. That could be the key! He opened his eyes and looked directly at the Trill. "Did the Alyl symbiote ever meet Captain Sisko?" ?No. Jaton is Alyl?s first host.? Sekal folded his arms. "If Captain Sisko was never in Alyl's past then why would one of them take his form? This is an enigma and leaves open the possibility that it was indeed him. Consider this, it is logical that Benjamin Sisko if he were in their dimension would naturally appear in his own form. While it is not conclusive evidence it is compelling. Is there anything else you remember?" ?No, sir. That was it. The Prophets made an implication that they had a hand in bringing me back, but that seemed more obfuscation than anything.? "Obfuscation?" Sekal considered that for a moment. "It is said that beings of a higher evolutionary plane must be extremely careful of what they say. Consider the Federation's prime directive for example." He shifted in his seat. "In order to not pollute a species evolutionary trajectory only those civilizations that have achieved warp flight are contacted due to the inherent dangers of introducing higher technologies to a primitive culture that has not yet made the societal adjustments to accept them and will invariably misuse them. It is logical then that beings that have evolved to a non-corporeal state and commensurate power have similar rules of non engagement." Sekal then gave Jaton a searching look. "It is highly likely that if they did indeed have a hand in your resurrection that they want you to find out the truth for yourself rather than spoon feeding you the information and that in doing so it will elevate your understanding." He quirked an eyebrow. "That is of course only a theory as we have only vague insinuations upon which to base a hypothesis." Jaton nodded. ?But in any case, sir, I felt it important to come clean about what I did last night in light of the orders you gave me this morning. And I am willing to accept any disciplinary action you deem appropriate.? Sekal shook his head. "As the contact appears to have been accidental and prior to my orders I see no reason for disciplinary action. " He stood to his feet. "However I suggest caution around the orbs in the future." ?Understood, sir. And you can be sure I will not do that again.? Jaton smiled, relief washing over him. ?Is there anything else you need while I?m here?? The Vulcan didn't bat an eyelash. "Find us the answers we need Lieutenant. You are dismissed to do so."

Mistakes by any species be they vulcan or non vulcan were unavoidable though they could be mitigated to a great extent which was the reason for regulations and safety directives.

The every popular jumper that was designed to help protect someone doing demolition and repairs like was going to be his life when he wasn't on station on the bridge, assuming the Captain would ever let him on the bridge again.

Already the engineering crew was starting to clean up and assess the damage. Logging into the operations systems, he took Transporter room 2 off listing it down for repairs. Next, he checked the industrial replicators and reclamation systems were ready for the repair.? Hopefully they had enough material in stock to ensure a speedy repair to the system.? Turning to Chief S'Kakz, "Chief, I am assigning you to lead this repair.? Send all requests through me when I am not here helping out." "Yes, Sir," the Saurian replied, "I have dismissed Cadet Valar as she was faultless in this and her education is better spent elsewhere." Gregory typed a few quick notes on the PADD, including a request that the Cadet file a report as to the nature of the accident.

Mc Taggard said. ?Ma?am, since the first explosion was not enough to bring the cavern down, it feels like it was more of an alarm system.Right now, our trail shows Andorian blood down this passageway.It?s our best clue to find the Ensign Taya this way.Now that we have found three traps, we will be on the lookout for more,? Devers replied. ?They looked hastily set too,? replied Lannis, ?Suggesting that they were more of an afterthought.At least I hope so.? ?With your permission Ma?am, I?ll take point again,? Devers said, looking at Hammerfield. (Reply Hammerfield) ?Looking at this map, it shows the tunnel with Andorian blood leads to an exit somewhere inside the Temple,? Devers said.?This can?t be good.? (Bajor ? Tunnels ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers ? 13:05) It had been slow going, following the tunnel, making sure there were no traps and checking the map.In front of Devers was a doorway, the map indicated it led into the Temple.The tricorders were working again, being near the surface. A quick scan indicated Andorian life signs on the other side of the doorway. A careful scan of the door indicated no explosives or other traps. ?Ma?am, permission to breach?? (Reply Hammerfield) (Bajor ? Tunnels ? Security PO3 Hercules Devers ? 13:07) Getting the ok, Devers quickly checked his phaser one more time. ?On my mark.Three ? Two ? One.? Devers opened the door and moved into the space, taking the right wall.Lannis followed taking the left side as the two officers followed. The doorway opened into a darkened corner of the walkway surrounding a marbled garden.Devers thought it looked much like the Roman style he studied in school.There was even a fountain in the center, A statue of a man with his arms wide, in a welcoming position. But that was not all. He was horrified at what he saw.Ensign Taya was bound to this statue.She was nude, with some sort of carvings on her chest bleeding out.Her antennae were missing. Some Bajorans had begun to gather in the area, looking at the figure.Devers looked around, and noticed a robed figure walking up the stairs, away from the scene. ?Lannis, get the Ensign,? he said as he took off after the robed figure leaving the scene.

Where will you be relocating her?" ?Sir, I prefer not to say. With the politics, it is safer you don?t know. Plausible deniability.? Quinna knew of a small clinic next to a temple.

Deck 4 Officers Mess ? 13:00) Gregory looked at his report one more time.He?d captured all the data, showing how the field modulations were able to penetrate the strange field so that they could transport crew and material through the field.Unfortunately, the transport process was also inducing bursts of Omicron radiation. Murdok has reported that the data was inconclusive and he needed more to make a firm hypothesis.Having worked with the Benzite during his stay on Deep Space Nine, he was used to this response.He made a note to track all transports and send the data back to Murdok so he could have more data for a hypothesis. Putting some ham on a piece of country bread, he added some of the onion chutney before taking a bite.As he chewed, he looked out the windows to the planet.It still felt odd being on a ship that was landed on a planet. Thinking back to the conversation on the bridge this morning, the Science Officer, Lieutenant Alyl had mentioned that there was some strange energy fields around the orbs.Could the two be connected? Pausing, he added the Lieutenant to his distribution list on the report, perhaps the data he collected during the transports would help him. Sending the report, he was sure he?d be hearing more from the senior staff, especially since he did cause a bit of damage to the transporter pad.Fortunately, these were relatively modular design these days and the system should be back to normal within 48 to 72 hours. He turned his attention to the report from the transporter chief, S?Kakz.He?d not work with a Saurians but the report was crisp and to the point.He highlighted the same issues that Gregory had noted.However, digging onto S?Kakz?s report, he realized the Chief had made some additional observation that he had missed. Gregory forwarded S?Kakz?s report onto Murdok as well. Checking the time, Gregory rushed to finish his lunch, gulping down his now luke-warm tea before heading back to the transporter room. (USS Illuminar- Deck 4 Transporter room 2 ? Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 1345) Walking into the transporter room, he was pleased to see most of the damaged pieces, including both probes had been removed.The engineers were stripping that last of the primary energizing coils, which would allow for a more complete assessment of the rest of the damage to the system.Depending on that assessment would depend on how long to get the rest of the system repaired. Checking the repair status, he saw that the manufacturing replicators were making the back paneling of the chamber, which took the brunt of the damage. He watched, not wanting to interfere with the team doing the work, knowing that there was about 6 hours of circuitry testing left.Something that Chief S?Kakz would be intimately involved in. Signing off on the current repair orders and status update, he set a reminder to check on the repairs every hour.With that, he left to resume is station on the bridge. (USS Illuminar- Deck 1 ? Operations Station ? Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 1400) Gregory checked his uniform one more time as the turbolift doors opened.He walked quietly to the Operations station, relieving the Ensign there.Logging into the console, he took a quick look at the data on the ship, noting all was in the green, except for the transporter room.He was probably never going to live that down. ?1400 hours, operations report all systems nominal,? he said by way of report.

Quinna Solice -- 1300) Quinna was now back at the temple. She took the time to look around to see where she could easily get the Kai out of the temple. Things seemed a bit off. A shiver ran up Quinna back as she felt a bit uneasy. It was then that something caught Quinna?s eye peripherally. She moved closer to see a figure laying on the floor. A gasp escaped Quinna lips as she noticed that the person was from the Illuminar. Pulse was thredy. ?Oh Taya, What happened to you.? Quinna said knowing that she was not going to get an answer. She then in turn called for an emergency med kit. As she waited for the Kit, she then made the call to the Illuminar. She requested an emergency Transport. With the Med kit in hand. Quinna worked on trying to stabilize Taya for transport. At times, Quinna lost Taya?s pulse. Luckily she was able to regain it again. It was still thredy but they had no choice but to transport her back to the ship. At this point, Quinna was torn. She wanted to go with Taya, however she also needed to be with the Kai. In the End, she trusted Trei with Sickbay, and therefore she trusted Trei with Ensign Taya.

The Root of Decay Day: 19 Stardate: 2445.09.19 (Bajor, Temple - ?Security PO3 Hercules Devers & Janus - 1310) He couldn?t help himself, he?d stopped and turned, looked back one more time at the unconscious body of the Andorian. A moment passed and then there was a scream from the otherside of the courtyard as a few of the- he presumed- Kai?s personal team happened across the scene. Gathering around the fountain, none of them had seen him yet. Calculating in his head quickly, he decided there were too many of them? to lure away. The cameras would have seen the body now and no doubt the footage would still be on a loop for the rest of the day on every news broadcast. His message had been sent. Would the planet listen? The door across on the opposite side of the square burst open and to his dismay the Starfleet officers had also gotten to the scene earlier than he?d anticipated. There was no time, he needed to move and quickly. As he turned back towards the enclosed staircase he noticed that one of the Security Officers had spotted him. ~Prophets help,? he thought before diving through the door, slamming it shut and ramming the locking mechanism into the wall. Setting off at pace, only time would tell whether his withering lungs would hold enough air within them to get to his final resting place before being caught. Devers pushed a few people out of his way as he started pursuing the robed figure.? ~Why would someone be leaving such a scene?~ he thought to himself. Hurdling a bench, Devers looked up and the figure was gone.? Disappeared.? Taking the stairs two at a time, he reached the top of the staircase and looked around for a door.? Pulling out his tricorder he started scanning for lifesigns.? ~There~ Moving over to the hidden doorway, he started looking for a handle or something to grip.? After a few moments searching he found it, as he tried to open the door, he discovered it was locked Deciding it would take too long to try to cut through the door, Devers opted for brute force.? Standing in front of the door, he centered his thoughts and with a quick motion he launched a front snap kick.? He was rewarded by the sounds of breaking wood.? A second kick and the door opened to reveal a passageway.? Checking the tricorder again, he locked onto the moving figure and started down the passageway. After launching himself up two more sets of stairs and the zig-zagging through several corridors, Janus took a moment to regain his breath. Dropping the hooded robe facade and throwing it into one of the side rooms so it was out of the way he then jumped back into action. Without the heavy fabric around him, he found it easier to move a little faster. It was a calculated risk, there should be no-one this high up into the Temple. Everyone had been evacuated barring those trying to take care of the Kai or to figure out what was happening within the Temple itself. Darting through several corridors, he was beginning to slow down again, now sure that he would reach his target before being caught, when out of the blue an older man exited a room to the right and stood directly in his way. He looked as shocked to see a topless man baring down on him as Janus was to see him here on this level. Not stopping to make a judgement on what? to do, he barrelled past the man whilst reaching out and stabbing the ceremonial knife towards the neck as he did. He daren?t stop or turn to see if he?d managed to make enough contact to neutralise this unsuspecting victim. Devers headed down the passageway, coming across a set of stairs.? The Tricorder indicated his target was in this direction, so he took the stairs two at a time to the landing.? Pausing, he checked the instrument again before continuing up the stairs.? It was hard to determine if he was gaining on the figure or not. It was a maze up here as Devers headed down a corridor, and then another.? Ahead of him he heard a scream. Devers kept checking the tricorder and following his quarry.? Turning down another corridor, he saw a half-naked man running away.? However, Devers spotted an older man, thrashing around on the floor, his hands at his neck. Running up the man, he dropped to his knee and took off his SAR kit.? ?I?m Devers,? he said to the man, ?Let me help you.? Pulling out the medical kit from the pack, Devers pulled out a hypospray loaded with painkiller and slammed it into the man?s thigh.? Next he pulled out another canister.? Gently moving the man?s hands away from his neck, he started spraying the liquid which immediately began to seal the knife wound.? After a minute the bleeding stopped. ?I?m Security officer, not a doctor.? This is the best I can do, but I?ll get you help.? Devers took out a tracker from the SAR kit and placed it on the man?s robes. =^= Devers to Hammerfield, I have a Bajoran with a neck knife wound.? Squawking Delta 59 on the tracker.? I?ve treated him the best I can.? Continuing my pursuit. =^= Not waiting on a response, Devers pulled out the tricorder and started off again, he?d lost precious minutes, but he had to render aid.? He hoped the others got to Taya in time. Down another corridor he ran, following his signal. Rounding the last corner Janus came to the door. It was locked, as he?d been told it would. Pulling out the keycard which would allow him entry, as he slid it into position he took a deep breath, turned his head to check behind him. No one. Maybe he?d lost his pursuer. He stood straight and then stepped into the Kai?s personal office. It was a large ornate room, gold and silver filigree adorned the walls and the pillars throughout it, a large desk sat in the middle with several areas around the room which had been portioned off with seating areas. As if in a trance his feet began moving him forward into the office. The door slid shut behind him, one of the most modern doors within the Temple, it was silent. The smell of disinfectant got stronger the further into the room he got, clearly the overriding thought of the medical professionals had at some point that the issue within the Temple was an infectious disease of some sort. A smile broke out on his face as he turned towards the glass wall. He moved around the desk, letting his hand rest on it as he passed. Anything to deepen his connection with the Prophets. The connection which had been explained to him by his holy brother, the one that had taken him under his wing after his doctors discovered that he had F'relorn Disease. An incurable disease handed down by the Prophets to those who had sinned, he coughed and as he did a spray of blood appeared on the glass in front of him. The end was near, he would soon learn whether the Prophets would show him mercy or not. Had he done enough to prove himself in their eyes? The glass doors opened up to the Kai?s balcony. Where she could look out on the city and speak with those gathered outside the Temple in the square where the protests had been taking place. He took another breath and stepped out onto the balcony, chest bare, head shaved and the same symbol that had been on the Andorians chest written on his. Climbing up to the edge of the Balcony, he stood with his arms out wide as if welcoming those who were in the Square into his house and he waited. Waited for a sign. Devers rounded yet another corner and had to pull up as it ended abruptly in a door.? His target was on the other side.? Looking to the left, he noticed a keypad.? This was going to be a metal door, no brute forcing it this time. Kneeling next to the keypad, Devers took out an unassuming black box and placed it next to the keypad.? Next he took out some wires and connected the black box to his tricorder.? ?Come on baby,? he said, activating a program on the device. The tricorder screen started flashing, seeking an override code for the door. As the time ticked by, Devers got impatient.? Standing by the door, his phaser in hand, he was ready.? At least now he could arrest the fleeing fellow for the assault of the Bajoran he patched up. The tricorder beeped, indicating the door was ready to open.? Devers pulled the device off the wall, shoving it in a pocket before pressing the keypad. The door opened silently, and he found himself in a large ornate room with a large desk sat in the middle.? As the door silently shut behind him, he was hit by the acrid smell of disinfectant, as if medical staff dumped buckets of the stuff in the room.? Behind the desk was a glass wall that was open onto the balcony.? Devers noticed flecks of something red on one the glass . ? Standing on the railing of the balcony was the man he had been chasing.? He had ditched the cloak and it was clear he was bald.? His arms were outstretched. Crouching down he started to move forward. ? If he used his phaser, odds were the man would fall forward, and that would not be good, so he holstered his phaser and took out his ASP.? With the metal baton extended, he gained another 40 cm of reach.? And if he could get it around the fellow, Devers was sure he could hold him and get him off the railing. ~That's right, keep looking the other way~ Devers thought? as he approached the open doors. He stepped out onto the Balcony, ready to move to remove the fellow from the railing. Citizens, guards, Starfleet personnel had all noticed him standing high up on the Kai?s balcony. There was pointing and shouting going on below him and it seemed that several Starfleet personnel had broken away from the gathering crowd and back into the Temple. Now he was here, breathing in the fresh air doubt had begun to creep into his mind. Had he done the right thing? Watching the crowd grow larger and larger, no doubt because of the mostly dead Andorian woman appearing on their news feed. He clicked the button on the remote he?d picked up from the Kai?s desk and then dropped it from the balcony. Two large screens to the left and right of the oversized balcony lit up, another second later and the screen was a glow with the back of his head. Taking one last look at the crowd below and privately calculating the huge distance to the ground, he spun on his heels to face the camera which was positioned just above the glass doors so that the Kai and other officials could stand on the balcony and be seen and heard by all when making an announcement. ?Oh? hello.? Janus said as his eyes met with the Starfleet pursuer from earlier. He?d under-estimated the Security Officers willingness to apprehend him. ?OH? HELLO.? Rang out around the square through the speakers. The crowd had to be? confused? This can?t have been what they were expecting and they wouldn?t be able to see the Starfleet man on the screen, which now had Janus? face in full view. Devers was surprised when the man turned around.? ~So much for the element of surprise~ he thought as he looked him over.? He had some sort of design carved in his chest. ?Hello, Sir,? Devers said, followed by his voice ringing out through the speakers.? He took a step forward.? ?I was wondering if you could step down from the railing?? I?m sure whoevers office this is would prefer you not to stand up there.? A strange sensation, hearing the man speak and then hearing it again a second later through the speakers. A stranger sensation when you weren?t expecting to hear another man's voice ever again. Unsure on what to say now that he had an audience of one, as well as an audience of thousands. ?You should not be here, Starfleet.? His voice surprised even him, choked with emotion and deeper than usual. Devers took another step forward.? ?Everyone can hear us with that speaker on, so if you step down, we can talk.? Like why did you stab that elderly vedek in the hallway?? ?He also shouldn?t have been here. Once again the Vedek?s of the council- trying to take more control in proceedings than they should have.? His eyes went from the man from Starfleet Security to the cameras, ?Without the Kai here to lead us, the Prophets have reached out to those of us who were willing to listen.? Looking back to the Security officer, ?You are not a part of this Starfleet. Do not overSTEP your bounds.? Devers paused in midstep, ?Of course, I?ll stand right here.? Why don?t you tell me what you want? Janus nodded to the man, ?You will do.? He was racked by another cough and it took everything to not plummet to his death right then. More blood splattered across the floor, some of it arcing towards the Security officer. ?Kai Hetel Krevi is dead. Or is nearing that fate.? He allowed his message to play out around the square as a tear began to make its way down his face, the crowd would be able to see this. He could hear the sound of shock and anger from them. ?You have heard over the past day of her last visions delivered to her from the Prophets through the Orbs. That we need to cleanse our faith of the old way of thinking, PURGE what isn?t working and move forward with a more modern outlook.? Again he paused and waited for the message he knew he must deliver echoed out. Devers shook his head, ?Sir, what is your name? He debated saying his actual name, he knew his warnings would fall flat if they knew his name though. Janus? information had been purged from all official databases, they?d never find it, unless he told them. ?I am but a messenger.? He simply said as he looked briefly back to the officer. ?Ok.? It?s clear you are not well and I?m not sure where you?re getting your information. Let me take you to my ship, where our doctors can treat you like they are treating the Kai.? Before I left the ship, I heard that the Kai was doing better on the road to recovery.? Starfleet was trying to confuse him. He was sure the Kai wouldn?t have been removed from the Temple and if she had then it was even more confusing as to why there was anyone within the Temple. ?I?m sorry for you, I am.? He said to the man empathetically, ?I have not led the most pure life. That is why the prophets through their true connection here on Bajor have chosen me to share their message and give them the sacrifices that are required. All but one has been made now.? Devers reached out, ?Sir, take my hand, we can heal you and then you and the Kai can talk about these visions more.? ?If I take your hand, you will lose what you hold most precious. Is that something you could handle? Saying goodbye to your life for a cause that is not your own?? He looked back at the camera, ?This is the choice I was given many months ago. To perish as the scourge, to be laughed at and forgotten. Or to take up the Prophet's message and warning and deliver it to you and so deliver myself from eternal doom.? ?Sir, you never told me your name.? If you?re doing this for the Prophet?s, isn?t it fair that the people know your name so they can revere your sacrifice?? Don?t you want the Kai to know when she is better, so she can say a prayer for you?? Devers kept inching closer. ?The Kai knew as she closed her eyes that last time, it would be the last time. I am as sure of that as of what I have been told to do. There needs to be a new beginning, a transition from the old way into the new. The roots of the tree need to be culled.? He pulled out the large ceremonial knife from his pants. Hands shaking he raised it above his head and began shouting, ?Hear us. I am appointed, JANUS and this is the change we require of you. Look upon the face of evil and know that it has been stricken from this man and from this Temple. Have faith and you shall be repaid.? Looking from the camera and back to the Security officer who had inched closer. He looked the man in the eye, smiled gently and simply tossed him the knife before stepping off the edge to meet with his captivated audience. Devers started moving as Janus tossed the knife at him.? Lunging forward he caught nothing but air as the man fell towards? the ground, smiling contently as his mission was complete. =^= Man down.? Man down.? By the Kai?s balcony. =^= Devers pulled off his SAR pack and took out the abseiling gear.? Quickly securing the rope to the posts of the balcony, he slipped in the harness.? Below people were gathering around the body. Tossing the rope over the side, shouldering his pack, he climbed up on the rail and headed down.? Three bounds later, he was on the ground, ?Move aside, move aside,? he called as he moved toward Janus. ?You dumb bastard,? he said after checking his vitals. ?Please step away, this is a crime scene.? he said trying to control the crowd as Starfleet security came running towards him. ?Devers, what the hell are you doing?? called one of the men. * (Reply? - anyone as they wish) (Posted by Jono and Tim B) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ever since the ops officer on the Bridge had brought up the images of Taya strung up and mutilated inside the Temple he'd gotten angrier. Somewhat happier to see the Illuminar's Security team baring down on her... body? fairly quickly. "I want that stream cut, immediately. I don't care what you have to do, get it jammed." He said to the room. He didn't bother to follow it up, he knew one of the officers around him would be scrambling to follow-up on the order. The security team seemed to take their time clearing the area of the internal Temple staff which had stayed behind and carefully getting Taya down from the statue. "Get a shuttle out to the Temple straight away." He said, turning to the Operations officer, before tapping opening a channel to Sickbay, "Bridge to Sickbay, Medical Emergency. Prepare to receive..." he took a breath, "Ensign Taya has been grievously injured. I need some Medical personnel to report to the Shuttle bay pronto for transport to the Temple." (Reply Medical) Of course there were medical staff already present, alongside the Science teams within the Temple. "Ensign Solice, Ensign Trei. Whichever one of you is inside the Temple with the research teams, you're needed stat in the Fountain Courtyard. It's Taya, she's bad." (Reply either/both) NRPG: Assuming from Ariel's posts that she's on the Illuminar and I'll shift your posts back 1 hour in the compile Edward as if it's taken over an hour to get Taya on board I can't imagine you'll get much of a chance to *try *and save her. RPG: "Trei- prepare sickbay to receive Taya once we've got the shuttle out to them." (Reply Trei) The channel closed and he knew the medical staff would do all they could to save her. The image of Taya's body flashed in his eyes again before the viewscreen changed to a shot from a Bajoran TV network. A man high up on the Temple's balcony. "Zoom in." he ordered, before the screen transitioned to a closer look. "Is that Devers?" came a comment from an officer behind him. They were right, that was Security Officer Devers who'd been a part of the fight in the Hotel the day before, standing on the balcony clearly trying to talk the individual down from the ledge. "What's he doing?" came another comment before a hushed chatter began to break out around the Bridge. The tension was palpable. The man went from speaking to the news networks and the Bajorans gathered outside the Temple to conversing back and forth with Devers. This was too neatly executed to have been an off the cuff situation that the Petty Officer had found himself in. The large screens either side of the Balcony had lit up and were broadcasting the individual loudly around the Square. "Put me through to the ground teams." Carson said quickly. Was there something else going on? Hopefully Devers could keep stalling him until they could discover it. "Line's open." "Talence," Carson said, knowing full well that the Ensign was stationed with the team in the courtyard. "Take your men and get as close to the Balcony as you can. I need you to use the tri-corders you have and begin jamming all known improvised frequencies that you can." (Reply Talence) "I think there is more to this than this man trying to become a martyr. Just get there ASAP." (Reply Talence iyw) They watched on the screen. Carson was sure Devers was about to make his move, but the man saw it too. Flinging the large knife at the security officer, he then flung himself off the balcony whilst fidgeting with something in his pocket. Nothing happened and then he hit the floor. Carson breathed a sigh of relief, "Anything Ensign?" he said down the comm. channel to Talence, (Reply Talence) Carson shook his head, "Take control of the scene Ensign. I want you to track down where the explosives are and have them shut down and brought back to the ship for investigation." (Reply Talence) The comm. link shut down and Carson forcefully sat back down into a chair. His heart hammering as if he'd been in the heat of the battle himself. His brain couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened if they hadn't begun jamming, or the officers hadn't gotten over there in time. The entire square would have gone up in smoke, along with a lot of people. "Bridge to Captain, You should know, Ensign Taya has been found. It doesn't look good and she'll be transported back to the ship just as soon as we can get to her." (Reply Sekal) "Aye, Captain. You'll be kept updated." (Reply Sekal, any on Bridge, anyone) (Posted by Jono Bradley) NRPG: Hopefully this gives Medical a time slot for when they can work on Taya. Perhaps Solice can tend to her inside the Temple before the shuttle can pick her up and bring our intrepid Security team back to the ship for their debriefing.

It affected him far more than he'd expected it too. He and his security had followed the afternoons activities with interest via the news channels. His secretary had already rejected numerous requests for interviews. There would be time for that. But right now, the entire planet needed to be watching this particular performance. And it was fascinating. He could see it in the faces of the crowd, the presenters and even in the security around him. Why would a man, who wasn't possessed by the spirit of the Prophets, gift his own life to them in such a way? Captain Sekal and his Security teams had once again proved to be a thorn but it seemed that Janus had given them no opportunity to halt him.

Something Penny viciously denied. Someone pushed Heather down the stairs. Breaking the girls arm and Penny got the blame. Miss Sharp went on and on at Penny for ages. Trying to get her to confess. But Penny stuck to being innocent. Finally Penny was let go. In truth she had not cheated. But she did push Heather down the stairs. Standing before Saarsgard felt like being six again. With the headmistress looking sternly at her. Except it would be headmaster this time. Mc Taggard gave a full report but left out any personal comments. It did not do to openly make remarks. About your bosses in front of them. Once her report was made she was pushed to the back. Then they were dismissed. She followed the others out. ~ He was not even listening to me.

The acting chief of security was looking at a pool of blue blood which hadn't yet been cleaned from the flagstones of the circular plaza. He looked up at the worked, stone statue with outstretched arms and spat. "You didn't do a ****ing thing for one of my charges did you? A fat lot of good you are!" He spun on his heel and snarled at one of the security contingent who had been ordered to accompany him. "Don't stand there gawking! Can't you see the blood of one of our shipmates is on the ground? I want it gathered now! We aren't leaving a trace of her on this ****ing planet! Have it cleaned up... NOW!!!" The officer gulped and called in for a bio cleaning kit as Svend stalked off. The rig Ensign Taya had been suspended on had been removed but her final fate was as yet undecided. From what he had heard it would be a miracous recovery. IF her life could be saved. The officers involved in the SAR had better be filing their reports. "If they aren't done yet they're going to have to explain WHY." He slapped his combadege. "Transporter room one, one to beam aboard." He was cursing as the beam took him. (USS Illuminar -- Deck 14, CSEC office- aCSEC, Ensign (sg) Svend Saarsgard-- 1415) He had stopped to deliver a preliminary report to the CO. Even though the Vulcan was emotionless as always Svend had felt like a squirming adolescent under his gaze. If Vulcans could be unhappy then Sekal surely was though Saarsgard knew it was only in his imagination. One of THEIR charges, one they were supposed to be safeguarding had been ambushed, tortured and humiliated and would quite possibly die. His department had a black eye, a stain that couldn't be removed. His fist slammed down on the desk before he hit the comm button.

He was about to speak when the door opened unexpectedly and another Petty Officer strutted in necessitating Saarsgard turn his attention from the SAR team. "Hammons what the hell are you doing here? You're off duty!" Perty Officer Steven Hammons grinned as he stepped inside. "I'm here for the debrief Chief." Saarsgard gritted his teeth as the cocksure security officer made no move to retreat. "You were not on the Search and Rescue Hammons. This debrief is department business and you are NOT included." Hammons' grin implausibly got wider. "On target Chief, this is important department business which makes it my business sir. I can learn more about what happened during the debrief than from a report. I'll stand in the corner and utter not a peep." Which he then did. Saarsgard could feel his face go red. Hammons you've got more guts than brains!" "You aren't the first person to tell me that." Steven settled into the corner with no intention of leaving. He had gotten back to the ship after the search and rescue team had been sent out. The security contingent had been severely culled after the danger had passed with six left on duty, four inside the temple and two inside the gate while Bajoran security manned the plaza checkpoints and patrolled the plaza itself. Steven had napped until Alaya had been called to duty and had no intention of remaining in the cabin while his shipmates were involved in an explosive situation. Saarsgard be damned he was going to keep his finger on the pulse of the situation. Svend clenched his fists as he wondered idly why he hadn't already shot the mouthy PO then decided it would be better to ignore his presence instead so he turned to the gathered members of the search and rescue team and snapped.

(Reply Hammerfield) ?Thank you Ma?am,? he replied. Turning back to Saarsgard, Devers stood board straight as he recited the salient points of the mission. ?Sir, we entered the tunnels at 10:35, at the point closest to where Ensign Taya?s comm badge had been found.

At around 1155 we discovered an opening in the tunnels the entrance of which was trapped, something as scout, I missed. Fortunately, it was non-lethal, and Lannis was able to get me back on my feet quickly.? ~How much blood could she possibly have left after that ordeal?~ Svend was frankly surprised the Andorian was still clinging to life. Should she somehow make it there were bound to be long-term ramifications. ?In the meanwhile, Miss Hammerfield, Miss Mc Taggard and Lannis identified and removed three more explosive devices. In this cavern, we found a table which had more Andorian blood, along with a map of the tunnel system. There was also a scroll.? Svend surpressed a sigh at that while keeping a stern look. ~It's frankly a godsend I didn't lose more personnel from this fiasco.~ It also explained their late arrival to the plaza since the traps would have slowed them to a crawl. ?Checking the room further, we found a path with more Andorian blood, so followed that trail. This led us to a door, which when we opened, we found ourselves in the edge of the Temple gardens. At that point, we noticed Ensign Taya was attached to a statute.

Svend gave a slight nod. ~Good observation skills.~ ?Knowing that there were three others, and remembering your orders, I began pursuit of this person, with the full knowledge that Ensigns Hammerfield, McTaggard and Petty Office Lannis, had the skill and expertise to secure Ensign Taya.? Saarsgard bristled at that but kept silent at the gaffe for now not wanting to interrupt the report. ?My pursuit led me through the temple, where the person I was pursuing, whom we later learned was named Janus, cut the neck of an elderly Vedik. I paused my pursuit to render aid, administering painkillers and sealing the wound. I placed a transponder on him, let Ensign Hammerfield know and continued my pursuit.? Saarsgard remained silent as the dominoes set in motion at the plaza began causing others to fall. His eyes were slits and he could feel a vein in his temple start to throb which was the precursor to a headache. Heretofore Hammons had been the lone catalyst for such tension reactions but now he could add this PO to the list as well. ~Damn it!~ ?I entered an office where Janus was starting to make a statement. I tried to talk him down and secure him, but just before he jumped, he threw a knife at me, so my lunge was just short. He fell to his death. I abseiled from the balcony, and secured the scene as best I could, turning over jurisdiction to the Star Fleet contingent that arrived on scene.? In the corner Hammons winced., he had been around Saarsgard long enough to know how he thought. And if that wasn't the case his body language and facial expression were dead giveaways. An explosion was coming as sure as dark clouds forebode a storm. Svend's voice was almost quiet in the room, far too quiet. "Does anyone have anything else to add?" Saarsgard's gaze traveled over the three women who had been silent during the report. (Reply: McTaggard iyw) "All right you're all dismissed." His gaze fixed on Hercules. "Not you Devers, stay right where you are." (Reply: Devers) Svend then looked over at Steven. "Do I need to say it Hammons?" "No sir! I'm out of here." Hammons gave a sympathetic look at Dever's stiff back when Svend turned away but didn't loiter, he slipped out behind the ladies.. Svend waited until the door closed behind them then stood to his feet and growled. "Of all people you should have known better Devers. Why the hell did you go solo?" (Reply: Devers) "Bloody hell! Do I need to walk you down every catastrophic possibility that could have and DID occur because of the half-witted decision you made?" His voice wasn't quite loud enough to make the walls shake. ""First of all you could have died in the tunnel but you survived only to put yourself at risk again by not having your partner at your back." "Secondly it caused a delay while you tended to the man in the temple and gave Janus time to set up. He could have been waiting for you with a phaser, you're lucky he only had a knife on him." "Thirdly the delay allowed him to slip your grasp." Saarsgards voice dropped in volume. "While his death doesn't exactly fill me with remorse he almost certainly wasn't working alone due to his elaborate preparations and whatever he could have told us is now gone." Saarsgard planted his knuckles on the desktop and growled. "What have you got to say for yourself that isn't already obvious before I lay the hammer down on your sorry arse?

The woman was a strong fighter, well trained and had been security and tactical on Mars. That she had been taken and tortured so... it was unimaginable. No, Sienna was staying far away. The psionic talents that Q had left her with made getting near sickbay a difficult thing for her. But still, those talents were what she was going to be employing when she visited with the Kai. She needed to check in with the CMO, and then with security. There was zero chance that either Carson or Saarsgard were going to let her visit the planet without an overwhelming security contingent. Sy tapped her comm badge. "Verin to Dr. Solice. Doctor, when would be a good time for me to visit with the Kai? I have been working with the institute of sciences to get that research that you wanted. They have not been very forthcoming."

Greg was seated in a chair with the early afternoon sun shining through a large gap between the light drapes. Such things normally only happened to the aged now although accidents weren't uncommon. No dust danced in the sunlight since the room had been immaculately cleaned and was kept that way. No chance for infection could be allowed to come near someone who was but a few steps from the grave. There was some dim noise coming from the city that he couldn't place. It was off and on, not distracting or discordant, just there in the background. Her breathing was shallow and her exposed skin drained of color. If he strained his ears he thought he could hear her respiration. He looked at the monitor which showed no change. Since they had come here there had been a gradual decline. Such plateaus weren't uncommon however otherwise she would already have expired. Her vital signs were inspected minutely at least every half hour. His eyes returned to her face and he spoke after a moment. "Here we are on another world and it's all the same. The wringing of hands, wondering what you could be doing differently and the wait. Always the wait." He shook his head then placed his right cheek against his hand, the elbow resting on the chair arm. His eyes were sad. "You're still young enough to have children and pretty enough to attract a mate. What has your life been like here? What stories would you tell if you could speak?" He gave a sad smile. "What wisdom would you impart to us if you could? Most of the others are gone but your supposedly wise peers have condemned you to remain here while you slip away. What did you do to make them so mad at you?" He sighed and shook his head. "It makes no ****ing sense." He stood to his feet and stretched then verified the IV fluids. "All good." His ears picked up hurried footsteps coming from the hallway outside and getting closer. Doctor Solice had been gone for a few hours and he wondered if she had returned, he couldn't think of anyone else currently around who might be in a hurry. The door opened and sure enough she looked inside then stepped in. ?How is the Kai? We are going to move her out of the temple and a more secure location.? He shook his head. "Vital signs are unchanged doctor but I'm glad to hear we are finally getting to move her." His eyes traveled around the room, it was feminine, airy and bright. It was also currently a death trap for the woman confined here ?It is risky, but it may be riskier keeping her here. We still do not know who gave it or how she is being administered the pathogen." He nodded his head. "I agree. If we are cautious she should be all right but if she crashes during the move there won't be much we can do." He looked over at the unconcious woman. "But in the end no matter how it goes it will be for the best." The CMO gave him a nervous look. ?I am waiting for a little help. When she arrives, then I will have things nailed out. While we wait, prep the Kai for transport. I want to be out of here by 1700 hours.? He gave a sharp nod. "Will do doctor." As he began running over the things he would need. An anti-grav gurney would have a built in monitor and arms for her fluids. The rest of the meds and equipment were already here so he put in a call to the ship for the gurney as he left the room.

I think the Commander is going to reach out to his Father and get us the data from Starfleet. I just hope it comes in time." =^=Yeah, why don?t you come now. No, I need you to come now. =^= Sy laughed softly over the comm, "All right then Doctor, I'll be on my way as soon as I can arrange some security. Could you imagine the smoke billowing from Peters' ears if I went outside the ship without one?" =^=See you when you get here. Solice out. =^= Quinna then cut the Comm link. The comm link broke and Sy was smiling. She hit her comm badge again, "Lt. Verin to security. Dr. Solice has requested my presence on the planet. Can you have two security officers meet me in Transporter Room 1 in about ten minutes please?" (reply Security) "Thanks, I'll be there in a few." She cut the comm then had a little thrill go through her. She wanted to get a feel for the orbs as well while she was there. Q had given her these psychic abilities for a reason, and she was determined to use them. "Lt. Verin to Commander Sekal. Dr. Solice has requested my assistance at the Temple. While there, I wish to get a 'feel' for both the Kai and the Orbs, and likely will not be back in time for my bridge shift." (reply Sekal) Sienna ran for her quarters, and in record time changed into her under uniform body armor, and added her phaser with it's custom grip designed for her hand. Her uniform was changed to a slightly more formal one but not the most formal one. She had a feeling she was going to be the authority needed to assist Quinna. Meeting her security detail, she beamed down to the Temple site. (Bajor, Ashala, Temple - FO Lt. Sienna Williams-Verin - 1450) Sienna and her security detail arrived, and Sy looked around in curiosity, extending her psionic senses to get a 'feel' for the place. It was sad, and a little gloomy, the spectre of illness hanging heavily in the air. She withdrew to her own mind, and asked one of their security people stationed here for directions to the Doctor. She headed up to the area where the Kai was quartered and nodded to the security, both bajoran and ship, that was stationed here. "Dr. Solice?" She asked, entering, and drew back at seeing the Kai for the first time. Sienna's heart hurt and she could barely believe the woman was still alive. Drawing off her silk glove from one hand, Sienna approached the Kai. (reply Security, Sekal, Quinna, any) (posted by Mel) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Devers felt Saarsgard gaze lock onto him "Not you Devers, stay right where you are." Hercules remained at attention, as the others left. The door closed and Saarsgard stood."Of all people you should have known better Devers. Why the hell did you go solo?" ?Sir, the mission parameters stated to first rescue Ensign Taya, and second try to find those who kidnapped her.We found the Ensign, and I observed a figure moving away from the scene.Knowing that Ensign Taya was found, and there were three people there to help her, I took a chance and went after the figure.When he started to rabbit, it was clear he had something to do with the situation.If I had not run after him, we would have lost him, and I didn?t believe I had time to wait for the others.? "Bloody hell! Do I need to walk you down every catastrophic possibility that could have and DID occur because of the half-witted decision you made?" Saarsgard voice loud with anger. ""First of all you could have died in the tunnel but you survived only to put yourself at risk again by not having your partner at your back." "Secondly it caused a delay while you tended to the man in the temple and gave Janus time to set up. He could have been waiting for you with a phaser, you're lucky he only had a knife on him." "Thirdly the delay allowed him to slip your grasp." Lowering his voice, Saarsgard continued."While his death doesn't exactly fill me with remorse he almost certainly wasn't working alone due to his elaborate preparations and whatever he could have told us is now gone." Growling at Devers, "What have you got to say for yourself that isn't already obvious before I lay the hammer down on your sorry arse? You broke regulations with that act and you're going to have to answer for it!" ?Permission to speak freely, Sir?? (Reply Saarsgard, IFW) ?Thank you, sir.

"Affirmative Lieutenant. Permission granted." He then sat back while considering what was happening. Doctor Solice had enlisted his executive officer in moving the Kai to an unknown location citing "plausible deniability". He had found her plan illogical but given permission after asking for her recommendation. The question was why she felt the need to isolate him from the move after he had expended every effort to gain the permission necessary to do so. The dean of Vedeks had made thinly veiled threats certainly but not at him specifically, his aim had been toward the civil unrest which had been particularly active at the time. At this moment Prylar Tekan had released that pressure and the plaza before the temple was cleared with those restive elements returning to their daily routine. Reports also had the press attempting to gain entrance to Ashalla dissolving and the civil authorities were on a media offensive. The Edict handed down by the Vedek council was now unenforceable if indeed it ever had been which it had not and the evidence Kai Hetel alone had been poisoned released to the high commiteeman and minister of security. This evidence of foul play had rendered the edict moot since leaving her in-place constituted undue threat to her safety from unknown elements. His logical deduction that the edict was evidence of a plot against the Kai's life had been further strengthened though there was no evidence yet with which to charge any of the council members directly in the collusion. Starfleet Command itself had been informed of the dissolution of the edict based on this new evidence and his decision had been made based upon prior orders. There was no need to keep him "in the dark" as to her whereabouts since there was ample justification and a strong foundation for it. Logically the Kai's place should be aboard the ship along with the others who had recovered or were recovering. He shook his head and decided that he would speak with the CMO at a convenient moment to ascertain the reason for her motivation. While he was much more knowledgeable of interspecies relationships than all but a handful of his race it might perhaps help in the future to gain more insight into her thought process, certainly it should lead to a more thorough understanding of the officer who led his medical team.

"It's nice to know you don't think Lanis is able to keep up with you." Saarsgard commented dryly. He let out the breath slowly and sat back down without taking his eyes off of the PO. "And off record that defense only works when someone does something heroic and the brass turns a blind eye." There was a lot he could say, wanted to say but now wasn't the time. "We are doing this by the book, sidearm on the desk. You are relieved of duty while an investigation is conducted. Don't try to leave the ship. Any questions?"

"Damn!" Devers story about the confrontation on the balcony had to be verified of course and there were a lot of potential witnesses. Still he needed a good, unbiased investigator to head that up. He groaned as the available choices came to mind. Topping that list was none other than you know who. He shook his head and tapped the comm. "Hammons I need you in my office." He didn't have to wait long as Steven hadn't gone far. The door opened momentarily and the Petty Officer sauntered in. "You rang chief?" Svend gave him a sour look. "Since you want something to do Hammons I've got a job for you which shouldn't take long." "I'm all ears." "Get back to the temple and round up any eye-witnesses to Janus' final moments and take their statements then bring me the report so I can go over it." Hammons nodded. "Sure thing. I'll get right on it. Anything else?" "That will be all." Steven turned to go. "Ah Hammons, make sure the report is polished up before you turn it in, nice, concise and professional looking." Steven turned his head back to Saarsgard and gave him a thoughtful look then bit back the reply that was in his head. That made the assignment perfectly clear. "Will do. I'll make sure this gets expedited Chief and wrap it up with a ribbon." At Saarsgard's nod he stepped out of the office and made straight for the lift, time was wasting and a career might hang on the report. He needed to get to the temple fast to catch any who were still available who might have seen the confrontation on the balcony from the grounds and the longer he waited the harder it would be to track them down. He stopped only long enough to grab Jared and enlist him in the enterprise which his partner was only too happy to jump into since it got him out of the more mundane chores aboard Illuminar. He tapped his combadge as he left the security enclave. "Alaya I will be off ship for a while, nothing dangerous, just paperwork." (Reply: Alaya) "Administrative stuff, I'll see you when I get back." "Think we'll have time to grab a drink before we report back in?" Hammons gave him a sideways look that was uncharacteristically sober. "No buddy, this can't wait." "Dang, oh well. Maybe we'll get some shore leave time eventually." "Maybe, I won't hold my breath for it." Jared gave him a long look but kept silent, that didn't sound like Hammons at all.

First, he go to the gymnasium and lift weights, maybe hit the heavy bag for a bit.

He tried to give off a don?t bother me attitude as he went over to the free-weights.Sure there were all those iso this and fakeer that?s.Nothing like real iron. He cinched his belt and checked his lifting straps and loaded up 200 kg on the squat bar.Going for reps today seemed the right thing to do. Moving from one station to the other, Devers was lifting like a man on a mission.It felt good to get things out this way.Man and muscle.

He believes that the Kai is the single most important person to prevent the impending civil unrest." ?I want people to think she is there. That is where you come in, Sienna.? Quinna continued. Sy grinned, "A bit of deception, Doctor? I'm always up for a spot of deception and misdirection." Sienna turned to give the Kai a good once over then nodded, "I could fit her clothing, and especially with the robe hood up, it should pass a brief inspection. Can you give me a bajoran nose?"

She was on Bridge duty, which was rather dull as they were parked on the planet. Each day they spent there was a day that the alien that lived inside the ship?s hull and computer, Luma?lena, grew grumpier. Lumia did not approve of being stuck on a planet when spaceships were meant to be in space. ?Lt, there is incoming signal from DS9, there is a new officer coming aboard. His name is Ensign Keung Lee and he is a security officer. Burst orders from Starfleet are included.? (Shuttle Lucas - Security officer, Ensign Keung Lee - 1800) Ensign Keung Lee sat in a seat surrounded by wooden packing crates and his kitbag in the cramped little space of the shuttle that was delivering him, along with supplies, to the USS Illuminar "Sorry for the less than comfortable seating arrangements. I don?t normally carry live cargo on these runs." The pilot at the helm called over his shoulder whose name Keung remembered as Harry "Quite alright, I have been in worse situations." Keung replied . Although, after much thought, he couldn?t remember ever having a more cramped shuttle ride. "If it makes you feel any better, we are about an hour from the Illuminar The pilot said with a chuckle. Not seeing the humour in his comment, Keung decided to take that time for some much needed reflection. After graduating from the Academy three years ago, Keung had been assigned to various assignments including teaching 20th Century military strategies; Because of his previous experience as a special forces operative, he was occasionally assigned on Starfleet?s Hazard off the book, black operations.. His last post until four weeks ago was serving as a training instructor. It was overseeing Cadets on their survivor skills in the Brecon Beacons of the Welsh mountains that he was given new orders to report to the USS Illuminar as a security officer. It would be his first posting upon a Starship. As the shuttle craft flew through space, Keung looked out of the main view port as they draw nearer to the planet. He recalled from what he learnt that Bajor is a Class M planet with five moons and it was the homeworld to the Bajorans. He could see the oceans which looked green than blue?which was slightly confusing but then he remembered that the atmosphere has a greenish tint. Still it was beautiful. He wondered where in orbit was the USS Illuminar/ "We will be entering Bajor?s atmosphere in a few minutes? the shuttle pilot called over his shoulder interrupting Keung?s thoughts. "is the Illumnar not in orbit" Keung said in surprise ?Nah! It?s on the planet and that?s where we heading? chuckled the pilot Now that was a new one on Keung. A starship on a planet surface. For some reason, he always though that starships were either in orbit around a planet or moored on a space station like Deep Space 9. Another thought occurred to him, he was in a shuttle craft that was going to make an entry thought the atmosphere. That made Keung suddenly feel nervous and he tightened the seatbelt around him. He could hear Harry chucking again. Suddenly Keung could feel himself leaning slightly forward and if he was wearing a seatbelt, he would find himself on the deck. He braced himself by leaning back into his seat ready for the invertible buffering of going through Bajor?s atmosphere. He breathed in and closed his eyes but the buffering never happened. Apart from feeling slightly heavy, it was a smooth ride and Keung breathed out. Harry was an excellent pilot! As he looked out of the view port, Harry was piloting the shuttlecraft towards the USS Illuminar which was on the surface. Keung sucked in his breath as he took in the incredible size of the ship. This ship implied speed and power. From the disk shaped primary hull to the cigar shaped warp cell's in back, there was a sense awe about her. It would take time, but he would acclimate to his new home With that thought in mind, He would put on his best professional face and dusted the seat of his uniform as the shuttle came alongside the starship and entered the hanger deck of the starship. It came to a standstill. (USS Illuminar - Hanger Deck. ? Security Officer, Ensign Keung Lee & 2O Lt. Carson Peters - 1810) "Here we are, all safe and sound." The man threw one last comment over his shoulder. "Thank you for a very... interesting... ride," Keung said as he waited for the shuttle door to open and he picked up his kitbag. The shuttle door opened, and Keung stepped out onto the busy deck. The first thing he noticed that there were other shuttle crafts of various sizes stacked in their docks. Before Keung could take it all in, he was greeted by a security officer. ?Ensign Keung?? said the stern looking security officer. A Vulcan! ?Permission to come abroad?? said Keung, as he placed his kitbag on the deck. He then noticed another security officer, a human one, carrying a tricorder and was now scanning his kitbag. ?Granted. Your order papers please.? Asked the Vulcan. Keung took from his pocket his order papers and handed it over to the Vulcan who glanced at the papers then at Keung. ?Welcome aboard.? ?I have to report to..er Lieutenant Sienna Williams-Venn. Can you direct me to where she is? asked Keung of his new colleagues. He was told to go to Deck 1. He picked up his kitbag as he went in search of turbo lift. "Hold it," Carson called out towards the newest Security recruit to the Illuminar. Either command felt that the Illuminar was under-staffed Security wise for this mission, or something more demanding was coming up next. Carson carried a duffel bag which had been delivered via the shuttle from DS9 for his eye's only. The bag was heavier than he'd expected, but he could only hope that it's contents would take Vex's mind off what had been happening on the planet. Keung looked towards Carson walking towards him and noticed the pips of a Lieutenant. ?Sir!? said Keung, stopping and put down his kitbag. "Thanks," Carson replied as he caught up. He looked over the Ensign and decided to answer his unspoken question, "Lieutenant Carson Peters, ship's second officer. Welcome to the Illuminar. Ensign Lee I believe?" ?Yes Sir. Ensign Keung Lee. Security Officer. Reporting as ordered? saluted Keung. Might as well as be formal about it though and he was not surprise that the Lieutenant was appraising him and taking an interest in his kitbag. Keung suspect that the second officer might have been a security officer at one time. He had that look and demomour of a security officer. ?It?s a pleasure to be aboard the Illuminar.? Smiling, "At ease, Ensign." he said as he stepped into the Turbolift. "You coming?" he asked as he waited for the man to join him in the lift. Keung picked up his kitbag and followed Lt Carson into the turbolift. "Deck 1." Carson said clearly to the computer. He may as well drop the Ensign off with Sienna before dropping the duffel bag at his quarters. Could check-up on the Bridge whilst there too. "Where were you stationed before joining us here?" he said conversationally as the lights began to move, signalling that the lift was now moving. "I was a lecturer in history and a training instructor at the Academy. I was supervising a survivor exercise for cadets in the Brecon Beacons in the Welsh Mountains.? Explained Keung who was looking at the reaction of Lt Carson. ?Infact that?s when I received new orders to report to Illuminar.? Explained Keung. Mentioning the Brecon Beacons to the Lt and seeing his reaction would confirm to Keung that this officer was a former Security Officer as he would have gone through the tough mountain terrain selection course especially for cadets who want to be selected for Security and Marines divisions. To reassure the Lt that he was not just a teacher and instructor..but someone who had been in the field as well, he said as an afterthought. ?Oh yes, I've also been on one or two Hazard operations.? Carson nodded at the mention of the Brecon Beacons, it was a well-used course for those going through the academy as a Security cadet. "Good to know," he replied swiftly when the Ensign mentioned he'd already been a part of several Hazard Ops. "Ever been stationed on a ship this size before? If not, I suggest one of your first jobs once settled in is beginning to walk it and learn the deck plans. Invaluable as a Security officer to be able to respond quickly if there is anything happening." He thought back to first reporting into Mars and then spending his mornings jogging different routes to help himself memorise them. ?Not on a starship of this size? nodded Keung. ?Mostly on cruisers and adapted shuttle crafts. I have already seen the deck plans on the way here. Lot of decks to cover. There something else I haven?t mentioned. I used to be on the close protection team to Federation President at Federation headquarters. Now that was a place you could get lost in..all the nooks and cranies. It took me two months to find my way round!!.? Keung chuckled at the thought then looked at the seriousness of the Lt?s face. ?Guess I don?t have two months! I am open to suggestions on..er..jogging the best routes. Perhaps starting from wherever my quarters are..Sir?? Carson looked at the Ensign curiously, he wondered whether the man had some telepathic skills he wasn?t telling people about. He corrected the look on his face and then responded, ?Start from the Security section and then branch out. Though I suspect Ensign Saarsgard will have some ideas on how to get you up-to-speed, so I?ll leave that to him.? At that moment the lift door opened and before them stood the ships Bridge, ?This is where we part for now Ensign. The First Officer will be waiting for you in the Ready Room.? He nodded towards the door across from the Bridge. ?Thank you, Sir.? Said Keung. He watched Lt Carson as he strived towards one of the consoles on the bridge. As he waited by the door to the Ready Room, Keung took a glance around the gleaming bridge with a number of personnel being busy at their various stations. ?I?m actually here!? as Keung exclaimed to himself. He pressed the entry panel of the door to the Ready Room.

She had moved to sit behind Sekal?s desk, taking the time to read Lee?s file before he reported in. She smiled inwardly, they didn?t really NEED another Security Officer, they had several very good ones, but more were always welcome. Maybe she could pair the new one, Penny with this guy and make a fine team between them. She would run it past Saarsgard later. Sienna was a rather lovely half Betazoid, with the typical Betazoid eyes and dark brown hair that bordered on black. She was short, curvy, and very direct. She was a brilliant scientist, a strong telepath and she wore silk gloves on her hands, something that was out of keeping with her Starfleet uniform. She rose from her seat and smiled. ?Ensign Lee? Welcome aboard the Illuminar. Would you like some refreshment from the replicator before we talk?? ?Yes, please. A red bush tea with no milk or sugar, sir? said Keung as he laid down his kitbag and stood where he was. Suddenly realising was that an invitation for him to go to the replicator and order the tea himself. He was not sure and decided to play it safe. After all, this was not his domain. His eyes glanced at this attractive officer as she headed over to the replicator then noticed that she wore silk gloves for strange reason. He remembered something that he read about the illuminar officers. This one was a Betazoid?these species were telepaths or mind readers. Keung was suddenly cautious about what he was thinking and realised that he was thinking she was quite attractive!! Sy blinked at him as he stood there and placed an order as if she were a servant of some sort. "You may call me Ma'am, and I was offering for you to order it your..." The replicator shimmered and the requested beverage appeared. "Ah, thank you Luma. Please take your beverage, Ensign and have a seat." She put a firm command into her tone before sitting down again in Sekal's seat. After the Ensign had taken his seat, Sienna folded her silk gloved hands and smiled. The Ensign's emotions had leaked to her for a moment and she was flattered that he found her attractive Luma? The Lieutenant named her replicator! Keung suppressed a smile. "You have an interesting history, Ensign. And Luma says that you met Lt. Peters already. He is our second officer and nominally in charge of security currently while we are parked her on Bajor. I'm not sure what you know of the current issues here, if anything, so I will start at the beginning. "We were sent here originally to prove to Bajor and this quadrant of space that they are still a valued part of the Federation. However, when we reached here, there was a problem, one we are still attempting to solve. The Kai and most of those in the Temple have been stricken ill - and the Bajor government quarantined them within. Some of the worst afflicted were brought aboard the Illuminar in Isolation and quickly are recovering while those within the Temple do not. The Vedek's Dean will not allow us to remove the Kai from the Temple and barely have we averted a civil war, if we indeed have done so. However..." Sienna took a deep breath. "However, there was a terrorist attack on our people, we lost a security officer, and our Chief Engineer, an Andorian known as Ensign Taya has been kidnapped. Search and Rescue teams are currently trying to trace her on the planet, but due to the tunnels under Ashala that were used during the Occupation, well there is a sensor blackout and our people are effectively blind. Luma says that she can keep an eye on them, but that it's difficult because we do not have a telepath with them." Sienna's head was beginning to ache as Luma filled it with chatter and she attempted to focus on the Ensign. "You will need to report into Ensign Saarsgard, who is the acting chief of security currently. I have sent him a report that I would like to have you paired with our new Ensign McTaggard who is an eager, recent graduate from the Academy and just assigned to the ship. I believe that your experiences will balance her enthusiasm; and that she will help anchor you in this time. To that end I have asked Operations to assign you two to a two-room suite. Ensign Penny McTaggard is currently on the Search and Rescue team on the planet, so feel free to take the rest of the day to settle in." ?Thank you, Ma?am? said Keung as he drank his tea. His initial thought that he was going to be some sort of babysitter for the enthusiastic Ensign McTaggard but if she is on a mission then she probably capable of looking after herself! "Next, Ensign, this is something that you need to know about the Illuminar but is not covered anywhere and is perhaps the most intriguing thing about the ship. The Illuminar is the host, the body if you will, to an alien telepathic entity named Luma of the Lenai. Luma'lenai is the last of her kind, and she is eons old. Her original bondmates were refugees that fled a dying system, and one of the generation ships from that race seeded Betazed. You will notice many odd things about the ship that make it quite different than any other Starfleet vessel. If at any time you feel lost, please call out and Luma will help you. Should you run into difficulties with her, Luma's bondmate is one of our engineers, Ensign Vex'ahlia Jordaan. Luma considers every one of the people aboard this ship to be 'hers' and is very proprietary of us. Do you have any questions for me?" Questions began to swell through his mind, but he decided not to ask them as he will find out or sooner or later to his answers. He then noticed that Sienna?s body language was one of tiredness and suspected that she wanted time to herself. ?Just one, Ma?am? asked Keung. ?Where are these quarters I be sharing with Ensign McTagarrd?? Sienna smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes and she was obviously tired, with a great deal on her mind. ?You are quartered in Section 11 Deck 11. Room 6.? Said Sienna. ?Like I said, you got the rest of the evening off? She glanced at the Chronometer ?as well as tomorrow. This will give you time to acquaint yourself with the ship. You will be contacted as to the allocation of your duties at some point tomorrow. You are dismissed Ensign.? ?Ma?am? saluted Keung, who then picked up his kitbag and left to find his quarters (Reply anyone) (posted by Melinda and John) Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: ============================================================================== ILLUMINARRPG: ILLUMINARNRPG: Ensign Keung settling in his quarters From: Tsangjk at outlook.com (John Tsang) Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2020 13:38:12 +0000 Mission: The Root of Decay Day: 19 Stardate: 2445.09.19 (USS Illuminar- Deck 11 Section 4 Room 6 - Sec Off, Ensign Keung Lee - 1900) Keung looked around his assigned quarters aboard the Illumani, located in section 11 deck 4. It was an inside cabin, with no external window view, which was a little disappointing, and he realised, he was located uncomfortably close to the photon torpedo launcher on the same deck. At least he had access to the transporters and escape pod nearby. It had taken him all of twenty seconds to finish exploring his new domicile for the indefinite future. At least it was fully fitted out and habitable. The communal area which led to the two separate bedrooms. He stared at the bulkheads around him and noticed about four large extract paintings. He wondered if his cabin mate Penny McTaggard was the artist. Starfleet regulations were easy on crewmembers decorating their personal spaces, although he was not aesthetically minded when it came to interior design. His creative talent lay in other spaces. One entire bulkhead, as he knew from the specs, was equipped with holographic projection technology. At least he could look at the Cumbria Lake District or Nigeria Falls on Earth or even a time rendition of the ship's forward view. There was a desk with a computer terminal against one bulkhead, Opposite the desk was a replicator. The rest of the space was taken up with two chairs next to a small round table, almost Vulcan-like in its austerity. At least it was tidy and clean! He decided to unpack his kitbag and wondered which bedroom was his. It did not take long to find out that Penny?s room was locked and the door to his bedroom was ajar. His bedroom had no window view either, but it led to what looked a compact bathroom equipped with a shower and toilet unit. There was a bed with a small ledge next to it, tall metal locker and a chair. He placed his clothes and a 9 mm semi-automatic Glock 16 pistol inside the locker. Other than that. he did not have much personal items as he moved around a lot and he learned to travel light. Realising he had the rest of the day to himself, he had time to spare, Keung went back into the communal area and realised he was hungry. He approached replicator. ?er..Luna. Hot red bush tea. A piece of cod, garden peas and chips..please.? As Luna was a living being, he might as well be polite about it. A moment later, his tea and meal appeared. ?Thank you, Luna.? He took the plate of food and tea over to the computer terminal. Realising that Luna was in control of the computer terminal he said ?please call up the technical schematics and the deck plans of the Illumani please. Thank you.? He read for the better part of an hour whilst eating his meal as he read about the ship.

Access Keung Fitness Suite 1.?, The computer responded: ?Enter when ready? Keung entered the Holodeck which had been transformed into a fully equipped Fitness Suite with the state of the art cardiovascular and resistance equipment such as free weights areas, bikes and running machines. In another part of the Suite was a gym which had a clear floor covered with mats. He notices a female figure who was doing some stretching exercises. Her name was Linda Wallace, one of the Academy?s training instructors. A former colleague of Keung who had programmed into the Fitness Suite. One of the best who had won awards! He then stepped in behind her and tapped her shoulder Immediately an elbow strike caught him in the solar plexus, her barefoot came down hard on his instep, she caught his arm and flipped him. It wasn't until he was airborne that she realized that it was Keung Keung literally flew and stretching his hands ahead of him, he landed on the mat using the arms to support him. He rolled over and looked up in amazement at Keung. She sucked in a breath, bent over at the waist with her hands on her waist, and said, "Sorry." She ran a jacketed arm across her face to clear her eyes of sweat, and added, "I was so focused," breath, "...that...I just reacted. Are you okay?" She winced as he rolled again and climbed back to his feet. "er..I'm fine" said Keung who thought about some moves that would be useful. ??Well?how about a one-on-one," challenged Keung "Right now!" Linda looked at Garry with some surprise and replied, "It would be an honour, but I doubt you could meet up to my standards though. ?We see about that.? Said Keung. He waved his hands towards the mat indicating Linda go first. Linda walked ahead of Keung, She suddenly clasped his arm around her neck and brought him onto the mat on his back. As Keung lay breathless on the mat, Linda started her next move, sat on his stomach and held his arms against her chest! "Lesson number one... never take your eyes off your opponent. No such thing as common rituals." "Ouch!" Keung said when he could get his breath back, and then added, "Go for it!?" Her legs were pinning him and her arms had his over her head. Keung?s face was close to Linda and she could feel his chest rising as he was trying to get some wind!! Linda released his arms and jumped up just as Keung swung one of his legs but missed Linda?s own leg. Linda grabbed his leg with her hand and spread his other leg. She let go of both legs and waited for Keung to stand up Keung?s leg smarted where she'd blocked and grabbed. Keung was sweaty and tried for a low kick but didn't impact and she maintained her balance. He moved as she tried to grab a handful of hair to drag him in. They circled, looking for opportunities and Keung grabbed Linda with his hands, and brought Linda onto her back. There was a moment that Keung felt he achieved something until he felt pain in the side as Linda struck him with her bare feet. Keung rolled over to get into a better stance but had not anticipated Linda diving on him and pinned him on his stomach by sitting on him. Keung managed to get the palms of his hands flat on the floor and allowed the full weight of Linda to take advantage of the situation. Keung started breathing slowly. The stillness gave the impression to Linda that Keung had given up. Garry felt the pressure of her arms relaxing on his neck and that gave him the chance. With a shout, he pushed hard on his hands and lifted his body and lifted Linda off a foot before turning rapidly on his side. With two movements, they reversed positions with him on top of her. Linda took his hands and threw his whole body over her head, but at the last second he reversed her grip and held on to her arm as she landed on her left shoulder and back. ?Oomph," she grunted. At that moment, Keung went into a killing stance with his fist aiming at her jugular. "Lesson number two. Anticipate the unexpected. I win," smiled Keung. Feeling extremely satisfied with his achievement, he said ?Saved Keung Fitness Suite 1 and end program. Nothing like a bit of tweaking, thought Keung.

Dressed in a long, silk sundress in a betazoid style and simple silk slippers dyed in a marching rich blue. She checked her flute with a soft smile, tuning it in her quarters before heading to the Prancing Pony, which was a ridiculous name for the lounge, but the crew had voted and Sekal had agreed with their choice, likely not caring what the large lounge was named. "Lt. Verin to Ensign Talence, Tressa, would you be interested in meeting me at The Prancing Pony Lounge? I have my flute and was going to play some since I can't sleep and I can't get the Bajoran Government to release the data I need." (reply Talence) Arriving at the lounge, Sy stopped at the bar and ordered a tall glass of apple cider on ice. Sy was allergic to most alcohols and alcohol substitutes unless they were made off-earth. Importing them was expensive, and often more trouble than it was worth. Taking the stage, she sat down after adjusting the microphone and turning the sound system on properly. ::Luma, I'll be playing my flute if you wish to listen.:: Sy sent to the ship, then leaned back in her chair, putting the flute to her lips and began to play, a rather pretty lullabye. Sienna was a gifted musician and singer and had played several times with her twin and her former partner on Mars base. Seaguing from the lullabye into a happier song, a lilting, sprightly tune.

But now however Tressa was able to return to her quarters and after a round in the sonic shower finally felt clean, and like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. She sighed as she eyed her bed. Wasting little time Tressa slid into a soft flowing night dress as she yawned. ~Oh sweet comfort how have I missed you. ~ She settled into the mattress and slid her form under the soft sheets and drifted off to sleep or so she thought. It seemed she had just fallen to sleep when the call came in. =/\=Lt. Verin to Ensign Talence, Tressa, would you be interested in meeting me at The Prancing Pony Lounge?? I have my flute and was going to play some since I can't sleep and I can't get the Bajoran Government to release the data I need. =/\= She reached over and pressed her comm badge. "I'll be there as soon as I can." Sliding from her bed, that she didn't want to leave. Sy would have to play her something nice for rosing her from her slumber. After throwing a kimono style robe? over her night dress and securing the tie around her waist she made her way to toward the prancing pony. (USS Illuminar - Prancing Pony - SO Ensign Tressa Talence - 01:39) She entered the communal gathering spot, even though it was so earlier there were still a few people wondering in and out as the duty shift carried on. True is was no where near as crowded as the mid day rush. But there was a calmness to lower crowds. It allowed the air to fill more fully with the sounds of Sy's flute more than idle conversation. Finding a seat Tressa slid into place and in a matter of moments was slowing bobbing her head with the melody from the flute.

Devers stripped to his shorts and put on a headband with a fleur de lis, Barefoot, he entered the circle.The two men bowed low to Petchyindee and then to each other.Standing up, they started a slow, ritualized series of movements.Starting from a fighting stance, they lifted their left foot in unison, set them down and repeated this for the right foot, finally, they lifted the left foot and advanced, changing their fighting stance.They continued this dance till they had made three complete circles of the ring. Turning to each other, they again bowed to show respect to each other, before bowing again to Petchyindee. ?Very good my students.The Yang Sam Khum helps to center one?s mind, and prepare for the challenges ahead.? ?Thank you Kru.? ?Do you have time to spar?? ?Not now, I must get back and wait for the decision as to my future in Star Fleet.? ?You always have a home here.? ?Thank you Kru.Computer end program.? The room returned to its grid pattern, and the door appeared. Devers headed back to his quarters on deck 6 for a shower and to wait.

Luma will display it for the yous." Saarsgard grunted as it appeared on the screen and began poring through it. No one had ever accused Hammons of being a less than able investigator. An irritant? Yes but otherwise damn good at his job. He had interviewed twenty potential witnesses and six had verified Dever''s version of events. At the end of the report a clip of video was included. Saarsgard played it then laughed out loud. "All right you son of a gun, all right!" The clip was taken by the media and unimpeachable. "Hell I should have just watched the local news."

Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0730) ~Going to be a long day.~ Gregory thought as he entered transporter room two.After his bridge shift last night, he spent another 4 hours working with the engineering crews.They had gotten everything disassembled and the debris was being recycled. It would take about 2 days to finish replicating the parts needed for the repairs, having on one industrial sized replicator was a drag. With the damage removed, today was the meticulous work of checking each of the circuits and connections to see which might have to be replaced.They would repeat it tomorrow, with different crew going the circuits.It would be catastrophic if there was a failure due to faulty connections.Also, it was, in Gregory?s eye, mind numbing work.Something his SPOTS creation could help with, if he could get the Captain?s permission to build it after this fiasco. He had reviewed the information Murdok had sent based on the analysis, and there was no obvious reason why the probe should have exploded, it was a standard probe used all over the fleet.Murdok had said he would continue his research.That was something. Walking over to S?Kakz, they had a brief conversation and discussion of the timeline.After they completed their discussions, and filled in the status report for the accident, Gregory filed it with a priority to the senior staff. It was only then Gregory realized the time, and knew he was going to be late.It seemed running was going to be his MO as he started down the hall to the turbolift. (USS Illuminar, Bridge ? Operation ? Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 0805) Gregory stumbled onto the bridge to see the Commander and Second Officer in discussions.Coming to a halt, he walked as nonchalantly as he could to the Operations station. After a brief discussion with the night watch officer, they exchanged positions.Gregory logged into the system, and started his morning diagnostics. Turning around to where the Captain was, ?Sir, operations reports all systems nominal.Repairs continue on Transporter 2.Scanners show no unusual traffic near the Illuminar.Seems there are no lookie-loo?s from the populous.?

The Vedek Council had made their displeasure clear at Kai Hetel's removal from the Temple but the data obtained by Doctor Solice had been airtight and their objections had been rebuffed by Federation authorities. She was currently resting comfortably according to the latest reports and had gained enough strength to have the remainder of the poison purged from her system. On another front Ensign Taya remained hovering at death's door despite the best efforts of the medical department who had turned their full attention to restoring life to her broken body. The consensus was that today would tell the tale whether she would live or die, otherwise she was not expected to survive to see another dawn. The procedure to detoxify her had been modified from the Bajoran data received to treat the Kai. Whether that treatment had been obtained and used quickly enough was yet to be determined. Evidence had been mounting that the protective field of the orbs themselves was breaking down and causing the debilitating effects in those at residence in the temple. A number of the Vedeks and priests had already been released at the determination that they were not infectious and of those brought in the first day only the Kai's personal physician remained who was assisting in her treatment and Vedek Gele who had refused to leave her side. With the verification the Bajoran civilian government had immediately gone on a media offensive against the remaining fanaticism begun by Prylar Tekan Herla and the crowds besieging the city had dwindled. Security forces were being culled and an end to quarantine of the city was in sight. Science, Operations and Engineering were now wrestling with the question of how to reinforce the protective fields. If this did not happen the orbs would become unusable and with the loss of such religious heritage treasures upheavel was sure to follow. At the moment the peace on Bajor was fragile and such a loss could have catastrophic results. The Exeter was accomplishing her mission, the cultists were on their heels but the issue of the orbs remained undecided. Commodore Remae Ktell and the Republic were enroute to give assistance as needed. Illuminar and Exeter were close to accomplishing their goals but a misstep now could ignite the Civil War they were working so diligently to avoid. He stepped up to the command chair and looked down at Carson Peters who was currently in charge. "Is there anything to report Lieutenant?"

Carson Peters - 0801) Carson stifled a yawn. His shift on the Bridge would be complete momentarily- he?d not seen Sekal be late for a shift yet and sure as anything as he thought that the Captain strolled onto the Bridge. He?d spent the last 15 minutes since the notification came through that Ensign Saarsgard had reintroduced Petty Officer Devers to active rotation adding a special note to the mans Starfleet file commending him for his quick thought and actions on the day previous. From all accounts he?d taken an active portion in the investigation into finding Ensign Taya and then risked his life- somewhat needlessly- chasing down the man known as Janus. Devers had allowed the ground teams lead by Ensign Talence to get into place and jam the signal from the mans device as he jumped, avoiding a mass casualty accident. He?d give the man his thanks in person, just as soon as he had chance to. Sekal stepped around the Bridge to the Captains chair and looked down at Carson sat down, ?Is there anything to report Lieutenant?? Carson smiled as he stood from the chair, ?Morning, Captain. The team Ensign Vex?ahlia sent to deactivate and recover the improvised explosive devices around the Temple Square has successfully done so.

If so then everyone on the security team involved in shutting down this operation is to be commended for their actions." He noted the opening to the command chair but passed, preferring to stand for now. ?A message came in late last night from the Dean Vedek that you might be interested in reading.

He had set the ship down on the city periphery for a reason that had now been satisfied. The cause of the malaise was known and treatable by distance. The press outside the temple and city had been relieved and mass movements of personnel and logistics were no longer necessary. The presence of Starfleet resolve had been satisfied beyond Command's expectations and the remainder of the task no longer required Illuminar to be on the ground. Now all that remained was to stabilize the orb's protective fields. He stepped toward the command chair and tapped the comm button. "Lieutenant Grey Wolf your presence is required on the bridge."

Carson listened in to Gregory?s response and then waited for the Captain to be free. ?If you?ll free me Captain, I?ll freshen up and meet our Vedek Council guest and be apart of his escort to the sickbay.

URL: ============================================================================== ILLUMINARRPG: (20-0812, 0900)- Flight Ops/Conn- FSXO Lt. (jg) Tempest Grey Wolf and CO- Lieutenant Commander Sekal From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling) Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 21:51:57 -0500 NRPG: Long post Warning RPG: Mission: The Root of Decay Day 20 Stardate: 2445.08.20 (USS Illuminar, Bridge - Flight Ops/Conn- FSXO Lt. (jg-) Tempest Grey Wolf- 0812) The full blood Cherokee woman stepped onto the bridge and strode confidently to the CO who was standing before the command seats and looking intently at the viewscreen. There was movement in all of the red dots that were being monitored and they appeared to be shifting toward Illuminar. "You wanted me sir?" She spoke as she came up beside him. He turned his head slightly to regard her. "Prepare the ship for launch Lieutenant. We will be leaving the surface to enter orbit in approximately fifty three minutes." Her dispassionate demeanor cracked only slightly as she almost smiled. "Yes sir!" She moved quickly to the helm and took her station to begin preflight checks. All was in readiness as she settled in and checked the readouts except for the impulse engines which were only outputting enough energy (Auxiliary power) to power the ships systems and would be cycled up just prior to launch. The nacelles were flattened as she had left them and would provide some lift in the atmosphere like wings. The hull anti-gravity field was off since it wasn't needed on the ground. As she went through her checks Bajoran control sent through a flight plan which she studied in detail, found some areas that needed tweaking and sent the updated flight plan back. Her checks were completed before the updated request came back as accepted. Illuminar required a longer initial upward curve due to its massive size than had originally been suggested. Tempest would make up for that with a higher altitude launch point. Course and speed from that point to meet the required trajectory would easily be met from there. (USS Illuminar, Bridge - Flight Ops/Conn- FSXO Lt. (jg) Tempest Grey Wolf and CO- Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 0900) She began cycling the imulse engines to greater output as she opened the hull vent plates. As they neared optimal output she could feel the rising hum through the deck plates. The ship, leashed and quiescent until now was thrumming with energy and poised to leap from the grasp of the planet's gravity well. She called out. "Three minutes to launch, energize hull anti-gravity field." (Reply: Any) The anti-gravity field lightened the thirty thousand ton ship so that it needed less thrust to ascend or descend. The ship would not float off the ground on its own but would need far less power to become airborne. A message flashed on her screen which she replied to with a few taps of her finger. "Bajoran control has given Illuminar the green light. Our course is clear." Outside Bajoran security forces had cordoned off the area to hold out any that might stray into the launch point and were pulled back in a radius that extended over halfway to the temple. "Launch in two minutes." She hit the blue alert button and the lamp began to flash. Any who weren't already aware now knew that the rising hum from Illuminar signaled her imminent launch. The hum of impulse engines building to a glorious pitch was like the reverberation of her ceremonial drum calling the spirits to a powow. The ship pulsed with life and energy which she could feel. "Launch in one minute." Her face, serene and yet sever all at the same time softened as Illuminar crouched ready to leap and without warning the corners of her lips upturned in a slight smile. This was what the ship had been built for, the reason she had been born. To travel between the stars where the spirits made their home. "Launch when ready Lieutenant." Sekal then opened the comm. "All hands. Illuminar is lifting off." (Reply: Any) The smile remained fixed on her face as she transferred impulse power to the thrust plates slowly, the thrust building as the volume of sound rose to thundering heights. Illuminar wiggled slightly as her landing feet broke free of the surface and she began to climb. "Retract the landing feet." The CO intoned from the command chair. (Reply: Any) The viewscreen showed the city which soon began falling away. As they neared 1,500 feet of altitude she backed off on the power to the thrust plates and transferred power to the forward impulse vent, lifted the nose and fired the forward engine. Illuminar leapt ahead and began to rise as she fed it more power building speed to escape velocity. The ship was dead on course, eager to once again reach the vast expanse of space. It seemed like only seconds before the blue ahead of them deepened to black and Illuminar reached its weightless abode. (Reply: Any) Tempest cut power to the thrust plates as the hull anti-gravity field was cut off and the deck plate anti-gravity field was initiated giving the ships occupants simulated gravity. She backed off on forward impulse power as she eased it into orbit. The ship now once again in its preferred environs began leisurely circling the planet. "Orbit achieved Commander." She then reconfigured the warp nacelles for warp flight. Sekal spoke up again. "Activate the warp engines and place on standby." (Reply: Any) The warp engines were routinely powered down when planetside or at dock due to the extreme hazard a warp field could perpetrate if it went out of control. Illuminar wouldn't be going to warp soon but the half hour warm up time before use necessitated it always be powered up and available when in space. The CO then spoke up again. "Lieutenant Alyl please display the cone of the omicron energy field on the forward viewer with the temple coordinates on the planet at the base." (Reply: Alyl) The cone shaped field was golden in color and radiated into space ahead of them as they came around the curve of Bajor and continued on out into space. "Helm get us as close to Ashalla as you can and take up geostationary orbit outside the field." "Aye sir." Sekal thumbed the comm. "There will be a senior officers meeting at eleven hundred hours to discuss the issue of the orbs protective fields and possible ways to inhibit its breakdown. The meeting will be held in the deck one conference room." (Reply: All) "Illuminar is in geostationary orbit." Sekal nodded his head. All they had accomplished on this mission could swiftly be undone if they could not rectify the core issue that had brought them here. This was the crux of their dilemma, to power something beyond their limited understanding or watch a Federation member world be consumed in the flames of a civil war. He sat back deeply in thought as Tempest Grey Wolf was smiling at the freedom of space.

Operations Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0830) With Lieutenant Grey Wolf on station, Gregory continued through his pre-launch checklist, while checking to make sure all personal were back on the ship. Sure enough, his boards showed green in that department. ?Captain, Operations reports all ground personal have returned to the ship.I am broadcasting a launch notice in the area.? (Reply Sekal, IYW) (USS Illuminar, Bridge ? Operations Ensign Dieter Gregory - 0900) From the conn came the first command, ?Three minutes to launch, energize hull anti-gravity field.? Gregory active the anti-gravity field while broadcasting the launch status.?Conn, Ops reports anti-gravity field is energized.? Lieutenant Grey Wolf continued the countdown. "Bajoran control has given Illuminar the green light. Our course is clear.Launch in two minutes." The blue alert sounded.?Launch in one minute.? The last minute seemed the longest before the Captain spoke, "Launch when ready Lieutenant.. All hands. Illuminar is lifting off." Gregory kept closely monitoring the ships sensors and energy consumption, making sure everything was in the green. The ship slowly pushed against gravity as the Illuminar began its ascent to the stars. ?Retract the landing feet,? the Captain said. Gregory entered the command. ?Landing feet retracted Sir,? he called out after confirming that the landing feet were retracted and secure. It must be a sight to behold from the outside as the ship returned to its element, Space.Grey Wolf made it look easy.Checking his boards again, he showed all in the green as the ship journeyed through the layers of the Bajoran atmosphere.As the ship emerged from the exosphere, Gregory swore he heard a sigh of relief from the Illuminar. ?Orbit achieved Commander,? called out Grey Wolf. "Activate the warp engines and place on standby." Gregory sent the appropriate command to Engineering and watched on his scree as the warp core came to life, filling the ship with its energy and promise. Soon it would be at full strength as the Engineering teams ran their final diagnostics, making sure the Illuminar was warp capable. ?Lieutenant Alyl please display the cone of the omicron energy field on the forward viewer with the temple coordinates on the planet at the base,? came the Captain?s order. Gregory made sure science had enough bandwidth on the sensors.Operations needed to maintain a certain level, but the rest of the resources he forwarded to the Science station (Reply Alyl) "There will be a senior officers meeting at eleven hundred hours to discuss the issue of the orbs protective fields and possible ways to inhibit its breakdown.

It was poor wee Angus her best friends brother. He actually thought it was ok to pull girls hair. A swift angry kick to the groin taught him , it was not. She had already planned what she would do in the interrogation. Lee would interview the prisoner while she stood at the back. Then if he refused to speak or gave Lee cheek. Penny would walk behind the prisonor grab the hair. The happily smash the prisoners face into the table. The first time would just be a gentle tap. The next a bit harder and harder and harder.

Carson Peters - 0842) Carson stood there, a changed uniform and a quick splash of water on his face before arriving had freshened him up a little. Standing in the Transporter Room with two security officers flanking him, he understood that the Vedek Councils representative would be beaming in due to the ships imminent departure from the planet Security had decided they didn?t want any security threats coming from the ground. That was absolutely fine Carson had thought as he?d agreed to it. ?Councilwoman Vedek Jeal Holder will be beaming in on your order, Sir.? Came the voice of the Transport operator for behind him, ?Excellent.? Carson said in a cheery voice, ?Whenever your ready.? He said nodding to the officer. A woman, for some reason he?d not expected this. Everyone had been saying ?he? rather than ?she.? There was a lesson there, he supposed. ?Be ready for anything.? He said as he stood straighter. The transporter beam initialised and a tall, thin and somewhat wirey woman stood in full Vedek robes on the padd. ?Welcome to the Illuminar Councilwoman Holder. You are most welcome.? Carson said with open arms, inviting her to step off the padd into the room. The woman seemed to survey the room before moving or saying anything, looking down at Carson and his team, she finally responded, ?Indeed.? He accent was thick and felt condescending, he had the feeling of being in front of a headmaster pop into his head. ?I am here to observe that your medical staff do not interfere with the Kai?s natural recovery.? She said matter-of-factly, ?I?d ask that you take me to her immediately. I have no interest in tours or food.? And she stepped down off the padd. ?Of course.? Carson said, ushering her towards the door. ?I am Lieutenant Peters, Second Officer. If there is anything you need whilst onboard, please, don?t hesitate to ask either myself or the detail assigned to you.? He nodded his head towards the security officers. ?Hmm.? Was the only response he got from the woman. ?If you?ll follow these gentlemen, they?ll take you straight to the Sickbay.? Carson said, as he changed his mind on walking with the Vedek as the Transporter Operator caught his eye with a look of panic. ?If you?ll follow me, Ma?am.? The security officer stepped forward and activated the automatic door, stepped out and guided her towards sickbay. ?What?s wrong?? Carson asked just as soon as the door closed behind them. ?Medical added a new trace element scan to our transport protocols.? He said from behind the podium. ?And?? ?The Vedek. She scanned positive for it. If I had to guess she has a pocket full of the stuff hidden somewhere on her OR she?s been as badly dosed as Ensign Taya was.? It clicked. The Vedek had the same stuff Taya had been poisoned with. He tapped his comm badge, ?Peters to Sickbay. You have councilwoman Vedek Holder inbound with a security escort. Once she gets there have your Security detail attached to the Kai search the woman. If they find nothing, she?ll need immediate medical assistance. If they do, well, they?ll know what to do.

(Good morning Ma'am. What can I do for you?" (Reply: Medical) "What?" He swore under his breath as he took the tricorder. "My thanks. I would suggest you return to what you were doing. It may get chaotic in here." (Reply: Medical) "No problem." He said. "Thanks again. We won't let anything happen to her. You can bet your last credit on that." He watched her walk off as Jared Boyles began whistling innocently. "Ah shut up Boyles, no one likes a know it all." Jared just laughed. Hammons looked toward the other occupant of the room. "Vedek Gele I'm going to have to ask you to wait outside while we take care of something. It won't be long." Jisel nodded, yawned and stretched before rising from the chair. "I'll be right outside the door." Steven didn't like the sound of the message that had co been delivered, if the woman was sent in as a bio weapon...." When the security escort entered Hammons met them right inside the door and his frown wasn't feigned. Boyles was standing before the door to the Kai's room completely blocking the entrance and his hand wasn't far from his phaser which was set to stun and on wide dispersal. If the woman tried anything he had been ordered to take down everyone in the room if necessary. No one was getting into Krevi's room, most especially not their 'observer'. The Vedek was the first inside. "That's far enough." Steven initiated the tricorder which was pointed at the woman who stopped and huffed. "What is the meaning of this?" Her security escort stiffened and looked from Hammons back to her. They knew Hammons and the look on his face portended something momentously wrong. Miles stepped back with his hand on his phaser while Tolens stepped near enough to grab her if she moved. "This will only take a moment." Hammons had a hunch as to what what he was looking for but was still taken aback when the unit dinged at the end of the scan. He managed to keep the surprise off his face as he spoke to Tolens without taking his eyes from the woman. "Restrain her." Tolens quickly grabbed her arms while Boyles and Miles phasers came up and out. She cursed Hammons as he activated the unit again and began moving it around her form until he had isolated the location. She was struggling as he reached into her pocket but Tolens was more than up for the task of holding her still. Steven's searching fingers found what they were looking for and he pulled out a vial of emerald green liquid. "Well, well look what we have here." "Can I say it now?" Boyles piped up from the door as Hammons stepped back away from her then passed him the tricorder and vial. Hammons grinned as he pulled his own sidearm. "You can let her go Miles, she's been disarmed." His eyes had never left the woman, when released she seemed to deflate.. "Step backward through the door slowly. The second officer will be here momentarily to take you to a nice little cell." Hammons followed her and Miles through the door. Once in the corridor he heard Jisel speak up. "What is happening?" "Your Vedek friend here brought a nice little death cocktail for the Kai." Hammons grated. "What? Cilest what is the meaning of this." Jisel stepped into Hammon's field of view. "I have no idea!" She shrieked. "This buffoon stopped me and pulled something from my pocket!" "Who sent you?" "Horavei told me to come here and act as an observer. I have no idea what it was they just took from me!" Hammons heard the 2/0 as he came upon the scene. (Reply: Carson) Hanmons lowered his phaser. "I handed the vial to Boyles inside. It seems our elderly poisoner put in an appearance after all." Then he grinned and looked back at the woman. "I'd say your part in this drama just changed to being a bird in a gilded cage."

Jeal said in disgust. ?And I?m no poisoner. I have no idea what you?ve planted on me, but you won?t get away with it. Jisel, you know me, why would I want to poison the Kai?? Jisel moved his mouth but no words came out, he was in shock at the sudden and unexpected turn of events. Only minutes ago he had been settling into the chair in the waiting room nearly asleep due to being awake since Kai Hetel was brought aboard. The reason he had felt he could relax? The medical officers who had looked so grave when she had arrived were now smiling and relaxed. Temple Physician Elec had also been given a place to sleep and had left several hours ago after talking with him and noting she was now out of danger. Everything had been going well, the two security officers who had shown up had been laughing and joking around until... He remembered a medical officer coming in and one of them asking him to wait outside. He hadn't been smiling or joking then. ?Vedek Jeal Holder, I am placing you under arrest un Starfleet regulation 34f. You will be held in the ships brig until a senior member of our staff can sit with you and take your statement. You are of course entitled to a member of legal counsel if you so wish.? Jisel listened numbly as Holder was placed under arrest. Yes she had a strange given name but she had never been violent. ~Ambitious perhaps, not afraid to defy the Kai if she felt she was in the right but never, ever violent.~ ?I... I...Jisel, help.? He shook his head in disbelief and looked at the Illuminar second officer and the security officer whose name he didn't know as she disappeared from the room. "A death cocktail? Poisoner? Tell me this is a nightmare so I can wake up from it." His eyes turned to Hammons. "Just what did you find on her?" Hammons looked at him as his triumphant grin faded and was replaced by a sober mein. "A vial of the same poison Krevi was found with in her system. Lieutenant Peters gave us a heads up before she arrived." Jisel's eyes widened at that and he turned his attention to the command officer. "How did you know she had it on her?" (Reply: Carson) "This makes no sense to me." His gaze moved between them. "I've known Vedek Jeal for almost two decades. The very thought of violence makes her stomach turn over. She couldn't possibly have poisoned Kai Hetel, she would have fainted before the act." (Reply: Carson) Weariness washed over him anew as he digested the words. "I don't doubt you did what you had to do. I just... I can't ever imagine her doing anything like that." He looked back to Hammons. "I hope you're not going to bar me from returning to my chair after this fiasco." Hammons shook his head. "No sir I wouldn't think of it but there is a superior officer present and it's his call not mine." He looked at Carson. "What will it be sir? I know the Captain gave him permission to be down here but that was before we had a poisoning suspect waltz right into medical.

Observation Security, Penny McTaggard ? 0840 ) The brig was occupied by the two Bajorans who were in detained in separate soundproof cells. A security officer was monitoring the prisoners from his console and looked up as Keung and Devers walked in. Keung had reviewed what little information he had on the PADD and had been updated by Devers about what happened on the surface. Devers was taking it quite well, thought Keung. The idea of Devers being the silent partner who was at the scene of the bombing might be a good strategy to unnerve the prisoner. At least that what Keung thought. He will make a start on Voha Ejise first. Keung reckon that Voha was a proud man who wanted to live up to the reputation of his family background in the resistance. On the other hand, Ihas might be different. He might be more forthcoming. Keung and Devers stood outside the cell of Voha EJise. Keung held the PADD in his hand and pressed a few buttons to get what he wanted. Then stopped and glanced at Voha who was lying on his bunk, his eyes closed. Keung decided to play the strategy of ?Who will react first?. As they waited for a reaction, Keung glanced quickly at Devers wondering what he was thinking. Devers stood there, silent. Moving around he cracked his neck. Stretching his arms out, fingers interlaced, he cracked his knuckles too. It was a couple of minutes later that Voha suddenly opened his eyes aware of the presence of two people looking at him. Voha stired from his cot, looked up glaringly at the couple. ?You know, the food here is horrible. How do you people get any enjoyment from this synthesized garbage?? Keung ignored what Voha said, lifted up his PADD and said unpassionately ?Mr Ejise. Would you so kindly take a look at the video.? ?Seeing how my appointment with the Kai for tea has been postponed?? Voha reluctantly stood up and moved and walked towards the PADD which showed a video of the bombing scene. ?Terrible isn?t it, Mr Elise? This is your handy work? ??Fraid not, I was, you see, detained by your brute squad over there. Keung coldly glanced at Voha. Usual denial reply. ?Mr Elise. I would like to point out that you were detained as a result of your bombing actions. Do you enjoy hurting innocent people not to mention destroying the livihood of the hotel owners??

A security officer was monitoring the prisoners from his console and looked up as Keung and Devers walked in. Keung had reviewed what little information he had on the PADD and had been updated by Devers about what happened on the surface.?The idea of Devers being the silent partner who was at the scene of the bombing might be a good strategy to unnerve the prisoner.? At least that what Keung thought. He will make a start on Voha Ejise first.? Keung reckon that Voha was a proud man who wanted to live up to the reputation of his family background in the resistance.? On the other hand, Ihas might be different.? He might be more forthcoming. ?Keung and Devers stood outside the cell of Voha EJise. Keung held the PADD in his hand and pressed a few buttons to get what he wanted.? Then stopped and glanced at Voha who was lying on his bunk, his eyes closed.? Keung decided to play the strategy of? ?Who will react first?.? As they waited for a reaction, Keung glanced quickly at Devers wondering what he was thinking. ?Devers stood there, silent.? Moving around he cracked his neck.? Stretching his arms out, fingers interlaced, he cracked his knuckles too. ?It was a couple of minutes later that Voha suddenly opened his eyes aware of the presence of two people looking at him.? Voha stirred from his cot, looked up glaringly at the couple. ??You know, the food here is horrible.? How do you people get any enjoyment from this synthesized garbage?? ?Keung ignored what Voha said, lifted up his PADD and said unpassionately? ?Mr Voha.? Would you so kindly take a look at the video.? ??Seeing how my appointment with the Kai for tea has been postponed?? ?Voha reluctantly stood up and moved and walked towards the PADD which showed a video of the bombing scene. ??Terrible isn?t it, Mr Voha?? This is your handy work? ???Fraid not, I was, you see, detained by your brute squad over there. ?Keung coldly glanced at Voha.? Usual denial reply.? ?Mr Voha.? I would like to point out that you were detained as a result of your bombing actions.? Do you enjoy hurting innocent people not to mention destroying the livihood of the hotel owners?? ??It seems that you have mixed up information.? I am a farmer caught up in a scheme by Star Fleet to discredit the Bajoran way of life and try to make us more like the rest of the Federation.? I work the soil, grow crops and feed people.? What do you do?? ??Along with your colleague who is in the next cell, I would say that you planned, planted the bomb and executed your plan.? Pointed out Keung ??Starfleet, you seem to give me too much credit as a criminal mastermind.? The only planning I do is what I am going to grow in m fields.? The only planting I do is to plant seeds in the ground.? As for executing my plan, yes, I grow my crops and sell them to others.? Where is the crime in that? ??Our scans shows your fingerprints over the bomb fragments that we managed to find. Look.?? Keung lifted up his PADD again so that Voha can see the video of the fragments! ??More fabrication from Star Fleet. You wish to make the Bajoran people bow to you?? ??Actually, I apologize.? I don?t think you are the planner or even someone who is capable of making a sophisticated bomb.? You not that intelligent!? Otherwise you wouldn?t be easily captured!? You can?t even haven?t considered an escape plan. ? Keung quickly said and raised his voice a notch for effect.? I say that you are the cannon folder who been ordered to plant the bomb? ??Told you I plant seeds in the ground, nothing more.? ??Your nothing more than a ?Pavrak Dal ?Rok?? accused Keung . That should rattle him!.? Keung had checked the language that Pavrak was a strong insult and Dai?Rok was a demon spirit ??And you are a Star Fleet lacky doing what your betters tell you to do. You?re not smart enough to make these lies up yourself, for that I?m sure. ? ??Tell me something what it is like being a member of? the Duranja Fellowship.? Asked Keung, lowering his voice, suddenly changing his tact.? The Duranja Fellowship was a fraction whose members engaged in various anarchistic and terror activities.? Keung in his research found out that Voha was an admirer of the Duranja Fellowship but couldn?t be sure that he was active member ??I don?t know what you are talking about.? My family fought honorably against the Cardassians during the occupation.? When they were gone, we returned to farming.? We don?t have time for politics, or terrorism, or anything else the Duranja stand for.? Your information is clearly wrong, or you?re again making things up.? What do you want from me?? Keung?s felt a notification buzz on his PADD.? ?The truth, Mr Voha.? Just the truth? "The truth is what the Prophets provide us.? We seek it everyday in how we live, how we breath." Keung paused to glance at his PADD. ?I just received some information that puts you at the right of the bombing along with your colleague Ihas? This is CCVT footage from a camera opposite the hotel.? The video footage on the PADD showed Voha and Ihas both wearing bulk backpacks outside the hotel.? Ihas took out a device which was clearly an explosive device and Voha was seen admonishing Ihas for taking the device out of the backpack before it was put back into the backpack.? They both disappeared into the hotel.? When they left a few minutes later, they no longer had the backpacks and the next thing that happened, an explosion occurred. ?I would hardly call that fabrication Mr Voha? pointed out Keung "You Star Fleet make films and lies all the time."? Voha replied ?Furthermore we have evidence from witnesses who have seen you attending covert Duranja meetings on a number of occasions..not as a spectator.? I understand that you are very vocal in those meetings? "Again, you have me mistaken for someone else.? Perhaps you Human's can't tell Bajoran's apart.? Your prejudices are showing." .?You say and I quote ?you plant seeds in the ground..nothing more?.? There is a element of truth in what you say.? Nothing more! Judging from comments from your farming neighbors, you not exactly a dedicated farmer either...especially as your crops keep failing and you neglected to do anything about it?. "Times are tough, droughts, insects.? If you worked the land, you'd know," sighed Voha. ?Be that as it may.? You and Ihas are mere foot soldiers..cannon folder. No one is going to protect you or your family. Can you not see... you been thrown out into the cold. Basically you have outlived your usefulness..face it..the glory days are gone. You nothing more than a murderer!? "Whom am I accused of murdering?? Where is the body?? I have done nothing wrong." ?I want a name!? The person who organized the bombing and who sent you to plant the bomb?? Insisted Keung "Fine, it was the Kai.? Kai Krevi, she wanted to get a signal to the people. That change is coming.? The Prophets demand it," Voha said defeated. ?Thank you Mr Voha.? You been most cooperative? said Keung, closing his PADD.

We?ve recently included the signature of this particular cocktail after it was found, so we could look for anyone that would want to potentially hurt the Kai or those of you here recovering. She triggered that warning system. We?ve only done what we have to do.? Carson said in a monotone voice. His danger sense was tingling, the reaction from the lady Vedek they?d arrested hadn?t been what he had expected. The man infront of him seemed to age by just hearing what he was saying. ?I don?t doubt you did what you had to do. I just... I can?t ever imagine her doing anything like that.? he then looked back to Hammons, ?I hope you?re not going to bar me from returning to my chair after this fiasco.? Hammons shook his head. ?No sir I would think of it but there is a superior officer present and it?s his call not mine.? Hammons looked back at Carson before continuing, ?What will it be sir? I know the Captain gave him permission to be down here but that was before we had a poisoning suspect waltz right into medical. For what it?s worth he?s given us not one whits worth of trouble and has been on the shop the whole time.? Carson nodded, ?I think we can rule you out as a suspect Sir.? He said, ?But before you can go back in, I?ll need you to give a short statement to Mister Hammons before returning to the Kai?s side and you won?t be surprised to hear that you?ll have a security detail attached to you whilst on the ship?? (Reply Jisel/Hammons) Carson nodded before moving away, ?Get that statement in the system ASAP.? He said to Hammons before stepping out of the door back into the corridor and tapping his comm. badge. ?Peters to Sekal. We?ve just arrested Vedek Holder for holding a vial of the same poison cocktail which was used in Taya?s & the Kai?s attempted murder.? (Reply Sekal) ?She?s been remanded into custody within the last few minutes and the evidence is on it?s way to lockup. As a high ranking official from Bajor I feel it would be unwise for the arresting officer to be the same person to conduct the interview. I?d ask that either yourself or the First Officer make yourself available to lead the interview instead.? (Reply Sekal) ?Excellent. I?ll have everything prepared and will sit in on the interview. It?s likely she?ll want legal assistance from the ground. I?ll leave it to you to break to the Dean Vedek what has happened.? (Reply Sekal) The comm. cut off and Carson began moving to the Brig to begin preparations. It would be a good time to check how the interviews Ensign Keung & McTaggard were conduction were going too.

Commander Sekal From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling) Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2020 01:13:57 -0500 NRPG: Going to do a jp with myself then change the post header to the bridge with Sekal and see what it looks like. Probably another long post. Calling Counselor Trei, your presence is required on the bridge. :) RPG: Mission: The Root of Decay Day 20 Stardate: 2445.08.20 (USS Illuminar, Deck 5 - Isolation Ward - Vedek Gele Jisel and SecO- PO(1) Steven Hammons- 0856) The officer's voice was grim but he had a strange air of distraction about him as though he was unsure of something. ?I think we can rule you out as a suspect Sir. But before you can go back in, I?ll need you to give a short statement to Mister Hammons before returning to the Kai?s side and you won?t be surprised to hear that you?ll have a security detail attached to you whilst on the ship?? Jisel nodded in agreement. "I completely understand. Thank you. I'm sure your security detail and I will get along very well." Truth be told he would have swum in a pool with piranha if it meant being close by if and when something happened and if what he had heard this morning was any indication he expected it to be good news. He was aware setbacks could occur but was hoping for the best. Besides the two men who were currently standing guard over her seemed to be fine chaps and he had no issues being around them, at worst their running jokes might keep him awake. ?Get that statement in the system ASAP.? The 2/0 gave the instruction to his escort then hurried off. "Yes sir!" Hammons gave a sharp reply then looked at his charge. "I'll be back in a few seconds sir, hang tight." With that Hammons ducked back into the waiting room. "I'll take the evidence down to the lockup Boyles, you stay here and stand guard. I need to get a statement from Vedek Gele while I'm down there. Hopefully it won't be too long." Boyles nodded and passed over the tricorder and vial. "You didn't say it did you?" Hammons played dumb. "Say what?" "You know... what I said." Hammons grinned. "I don't know what you're talking about." Boyles frowned. "I know better Hammons, you did say it didn't you?" At Steven's laugh he stomped his foot on the deck. "Damn it you stole my line. I'm the one who came up with it.!" Hammons was laughing as he swept out the door with Boyles grumbling good naturedly at his post. Jisel didn't have to wait long before the Security officer returned, his face red from laughing. He gave a wan smile and followed in his wake. "By the way my name is Hammons, Steven Hammons, Petty Officer First class. I answer to either one, you can call me what you like." Jisel fell into step behind him until Hammons altered his pace to keep from outdistancing the older man and they were walking side by side. The Vedek was troubled, if Holder had been in on the poisoning of the Kai he was sure she hadn't been the one to initiate it but that left open the question of why she had it on her if she wasn't capable. But if she wasn't involved then who was? And who was malignant enough to plant it on her? And again why? He shuddered. So many questions. Steven noticed the man's discomfort out of the corner of his eye and shook his head sadly with an understanding of what he must be feeling. Hammons had become inurred long ago to the dirty, stomach churning and depraved acts that were routinely committed in the shadows. The Vedek seemed to have a gentle soul. ~These are Bajorans we're talking about here, the correct word is Pagh.~ Whatever the word it amounted to the same thing. And getting a glimpse of that side of life had to be unsettling. "I promise we won't be long..." he said as they got to the lift. "I'll have you back in a flash. And as long as you remain in the waiting room while Boyles and I are on duty you won't need your own tag-alongs." Jisel smiled and nodded appreciatively. This was a day when he could use some good laughs. (USS Illuminar- Deck 1 - Bridge - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal- 0857) =^= Peters to Sekal. We?ve just arrested Vedek Holder for holding a vial of the same poison cocktail which was used in Taya?s & the Kai?s attempted murder.=^= Had the CO been human he might have shown surprise, as it was he simply turned his head, it was an unconcious gesture signaling interest. "Illuminar will be lifting off in seven minutes, what is her disposition?" =^= She?s been remanded into custody within the last few minutes and the evidence is on it?s way to lockup. As a high ranking official from Bajor I feel it would be unwise for the arresting officer to be the same person to conduct the interview.

I will have Lieutenant Verin take her statement when she becomes available." =^= Excellent. I?ll have everything prepared and will sit in on the interview. It?s likely she?ll want legal assistance from the ground. I?ll leave it to you to break to the Dean Vedek what has happened. =^= The Vulcan's eyes narrowed until they were almost slits. "Indeed. This should be a fascinating conversation. Any legal representation required will come aboard after we have achieved orbit and not before. I know that I can count on you both to be extremely thorough. " He turned off the comm and considered his options. Ensign Trei's duties were crucial but Counselor Ravenstone had been with him during his meeting with the Dean of Vedeks and he was aware of her abilities. While Horavei could not block his thoughts to a telepath there were ways to mask or misdirect them at a distance and he would be on his guard. Emotional content however could be more difficult to control and Hoavei was not aware of Counselor Trei's gifts, he might be more apt to let something slip. The Vulcan wasn't interested in gathering evidence to convict as much as he desired to obtain the pieces to the puzzle he had been presented with while in Horavei's office. It was similar to a session of Kal-Toh, finding the correct pieces and using logic to assemble the framework which represented the end product of a logical extrapolation... the truth. A truth he meant to uncover before their mission to Bajor was complete. His finger initiated the comm. "Counselor Trei to the bridge."

By the blue lights flashing through the ship, Sienna knew they were preparing to lift off. How had she missed that? She sighed and stumbled out of her very confortable bed and over towards the window so that she could watch the process, this time in reverse. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she simply watched as the ship slowly launched itself skyward, the planet receding as she felt the engines come online. She was pleased at how easily the exercise had been executed, one hand on her port as she stared at the planet below. ::Luma?:: Sy sent with a smile in her voice. The ship was ecstatic to get off the planet she had been stranded on for several days. ::Some of us were trying to sleep.:: She pointed out with a grin in her mental 'voice'. ::The Sekal is going to want you soon. You should be awake when he calls.:: Luma sung, her mental voice trilling as she still sung happily, almost like she was welcoming the universe. ::Do you know why?:: Sy asked curiously. ::Alaya's Hammons caught some religious woman who had the poison on her that hurt the Kai woman.:: ::When did Hammons come to belong to Alaya?:: Sy wondered if either of them knew that was how Luma referred to him and tried to imagine what Hammons reaction was going to be. ::They are going to bond. He is not a telepath, but he is a suitable mate for her. Strong, and a warrior. Maybe the Q creature will fix him?:: ::Uh, Luma, you realize that when Q interferes, it's not exactly a good thing? We really do not want to have him come visit again.:: Sy finished the projected thought with 'other than to rid me of these damned abilities he gifted me with'. ::The Q assisted the Lenai with escaping our planet. They gave Sienna many abilities and made her more Betazoid. The Q gave us help and dreams. Luma does not understand why Our Sienna believes more visits would not be an excellent thing.:: ::The Q are very... self centered, Luma. They did not help you and Vex?:: Luma was quiet for several long moments. ::Luma did not tell Vex everything. The Q assisted Luma in revealing to Vex all the things that Luma could do, and Luma was able to help us...but Luma would have done so anyway. Luma will not let the skin or the small ones be hurt.:: ::We are very lucky to have you Luma.::Sienna said sincerely. Taking a deep breath, she hit her comm badge, "Lt. Verin to Commander Sekal. Luma woke me up with her singing and said that you needed my assistance with something?" Sienna moved over to her replicator to get the breakfast she had ordered while talking with Luma, a chocolate nutritional shake. She sipped it while waiting for the CO to reply.

ACSO Lieutenant (jg) Jaton Alyl - 0903) "Launch when ready Lieutenant.. All hands. Illuminar is lifting off." Jaton couldn't help but grip the edge of his console just a bit tighter as he felt the engines rumble to life as the Illuminar lifted off into space. ?Retract the landing feet,? the Captain said as the ship slowly gained altitude. Jaton looked back towards the panels in front of him, making sure everything was still green across the board. Gregory entered the command. ?Landing feet retracted Sir,? he called out after confirming that the landing feet were retracted and secure. The next few minutes saw the ship continue to climb through the atmosphere. The Illuminar passed through the cloud layer quite quickly, and the curve of Bajor appeared slowly but surely on the monitor. Jaton began to relax a bit. ?Orbit achieved Commander,? called out Grey Wolf. Jaton let out a sigh of relief and let go of his console. "Activate the warp engines and place on standby." ?Lieutenant Alyl please display the cone of the omicron energy field on the forward viewer with the temple coordinates on the planet at the base,? came the Captain?s order. "Aye, sir. Calibrating now." Jaton began tapping away as quickly as he could, but he knew it would be a few moments before the computer could pull everything together. "There will be a senior officers meeting at eleven hundred hours to discuss the issue of the orbs protective fields and possible ways to inhibit its breakdown. The meeting will be held in the deck one conference room." ?Illuminar is in geostationary orbit.? "Overlay is ready, sir," Jaton said as the view of the planet from orbit was replaced by the live referenced satellite map that he had created a few days earlier. In a few more moments, an overlay appeared over it, displaying the concentration of omicron energy in the vicinity of the temple. "The energy field overlay is delayed by a couple of seconds due to the computer having to pull and compile the information from the sensors and various databanks."

Many of these officials seem overly suspicious of our motives." This was something that Sienna did not understand. Why were the Bajoran people so antagonistic? They could just leave the Federation if they so desired, but that would mean losing access to the wormhole, which the Federation would do anything to appease Bajor necessary. "I also believe that we should have a bajoran representative of law available to her during questioning, Sir. It's her right and if we are upfront about offering, then perhaps she will be willing to assist us openly." Sy was frankly surprised that Starfleet Command had allowed them to remove the Kai.

The image was wide enough that he could see several of the officers at their stations diligently completing their work. The only figure of note which was clearly watching the screen was a young, was she Klingon? woman. Obviously someone Captain Sekal had asked to monitor the conversation. They were looking for something. That concerned him, he could see no reason why suspicion would be falling to him. Perhaps he was reading too much into this conversation request. =^=Vedek Horavei thank you for accepting my transmission. Allow me to express my formal apology for the misunderstanding during our first meeting.=^= He smiled. Briefly and then nodded towards the screen. His pulse slowed as he sat back into his seat and became more comfortable with the direction of travel for the conversation, "Of course. Captain Sekal. That is wonderful to hear. Thank-you for communicating this to me. I accept the apology." =^=I trust your security issues have been rectified since the attack at the hotel.=^= He paused before answering, taking a glass of water from the desk and taking a slow and elaborate drink. "Trust, I do not think is a word I will be using freely for quite some time. If it weren't for you and your team, I may not be sitting here in front of you now." he shook his body as if cold and scared before briefly looking off screen and then returning to the camera, "I hope you will pass my thanks to your Lt. Peters and security teams." =^=Affirmative. An issue has arisen concerning the Vedek you detailed to observe the Kai beamed aboard that needed your personal attention hence this transmission. It appears that you have subversive elements within the council therefore it was necessary to inform you immediately.=^= He watched the conversation divert paths as the Captain quickly changed narratives. Surely to try and catch him out. Horavei Taelsi was no simple man however, he was ready for this. Taking another sip of his water as Sekal spoke, he allowed a little of it to spurt back out into the glass, "Subversive, Captain? What do you mean by this." he said, shocked.

He said flatly. Horavei sat still, trying to comprehend the situation. It certainly felt like the Captain was accusing him of, well, accusing him- most likely of what he accused him of in their last meeting. ?How so?? He asked calmly. ?Vedek Jeal was scanned coming aboard and found with a vial of the poison used against Kai Hegel and my engineering officer. She has been taking into custody pending an interrogation and formal charges.? Sekal again spoke very flatly, portraying no emotion. At least none, that he could read over a screen when the Captain and his officers were thousands of miles above him in space. He moved sharply and made it look like he was motioning to someone off-screen. ?I... I cannot believe this Captain. Vedek Jeal is someone that we hold in the highest regard. She?s no assassin as you are suggesting.? He was shaking his head and as he did the corner of his eye caught sight of the Klingon woman who was sitting in a seat behind where Sekal was stood. She was focused on something. Focused very hard and she looked like she was about to burst. Withdrawing his gaze from her and continuing to speak to Sekal. ?I?m not sure what to say Captain. I need to speak with the Council. This is... this is unheard of.? Sekal shifted slightly before responding, ?Since she was undermining your authority by bringing this substance aboard with probably malicious intent it was only logical that you be notified so that you may begin your own investigation. Now that Illluminar is in orbit we are prepared to bring aboard legal counsel should it be requested.? Horavei nodded. His eyes darting back and forth from the Captain to the Klingon. She looked like she was ready to jump up and burst through the screen. What was making her so angry, he could not fathom. Shifting from surprise into professionalism, ?Thank-you, Captain Sekal. I?ll report what you have passed on to the Council and see how they would prefer to deal with this. As such a high ranking member, Vedek Jeal will have legal counsel provided for her in due time.? The Captain nodded, ?You may of course designate legal counsel for her if you wish. It is only logical that your organization have such available to deal with unforeseen circumstances.? Horavei returned the nod, ?I?m sure there is a reasonable explanation... or perhaps a sensor error somewhere.? She was still focusing on him, at him perhaps? Sekal has clearly asked this woman to watch him and perhaps provide a report on, what? The way he looked? He wagered in his head that he?d never made someone SO angry with him without actually meeting them. He shrugged slightly, ?I don?t suppose you could be persuaded to hand the Vedek over to Bajoran authorities? If you?re correct, it seems that would be the best all around considering your accusing her of attempted-murder of our holy leader.?

He nodded back before replying. ?I?m sure there is a reasonable explanation... or perhaps a sensor error somewhere.? He appeared distracted by something to Sekal's left. He did not turn his head to see what was the source of his discomfort, giving the Vedek his complete attention. Sekal shook his head sharply. "Detailed scans are conclusive." ?I don?t suppose you could be persuaded to hand the Vedek over to Bajoran authorities?

Observation Security, Penny McTaggard ? 0940 ) Keung felt a sense of relief and satisfaction as he ended the interrogation with Voha Ejise.? Voha was defiant even though he was presented with the evidence.? As for Isha Poann, he was a different kettle of fish compared with Voha.? As far as he could work out, Isha wasn?t a known terrorist and probably had nothing to do with Keung wondered if he was just an opportunist who needed money.? He and Hercules approached the cell that held Isha. Keung and Hercules stood in front of the force field.? Keung would lead the interrogation whilst Hercules was the silent partner.? Poann was pacing up and down the cell, looking distinctively worried. ?Mr Ihas.? We just had a very interesting conversation with your friend, Voha? smiled Keung ?Wha? What did he tell you?? the man asked, clearly nervous. ?I like you to look at this video? invited Keung, as he bought up his PADD with the video of the aftermath of the bombing Poann turned away, eyes downcast to the floor. ?Nasty isn?t it? Are you proud of what you achieved here?? Was it worth it?? Poann dropped his shoulders, ?no.? he said softly. ?I understand that you are unemployed? Said Keung, quickly. ?There is something else I want to show you.? Keung showed his Padd to Poann and it revealed his bank account.? ?For someone who is unemployed. You seemed to have awful lot of credits.? Where did you get this?? ?I ? I ? ? he paused and broke down, ?I friend introduced me to a friend, who offered me some money if I did a job.I didn?t know the job, but I needed the money.I have a family to feed, my mother is sick, and they shut our factory down.I figured it wouldn?t be anything.I later learned it was ? was the Duranja.And when I tried to back out, they threated my family.My family.Don?t you see I had to do it.I had to,? his voice was pleading now. ?Let not beat around the bush. CCTV showed you and Mr Voha outside the hotel with you holding an explosive device.? I can show you the footage, if you like.? Threatened Keung. ?You can?t deny it.? The evidence is strong!??? I want a name.? Who sent you.? Where did the credits come from?? ?The contact who recruited me was Shemes Dilgul, from the Tozhat Province. He worked with me at the factory.The head of the cell, the person who gave us the assignments was only known by the name of Gaarhirr.?

I have a Redbush tea. No milk or sugar.? ?Very good, Sir.? You can call me Devers, or Hercules if you wish, Sir.? After ordering Lee?s beverage, Devers ordered a hot coffee.? He placed the Redbush tea in front of Lee. Sitting down at the table, Devers pulled up the two interviews on separate screens, along with voice stress analysis and biometric data.? ?Sir, here are the results of the two interviews.? ?Voha Ejise sees to know more than he is letting on, but is clearly prideful.? We?ll need to make him sweat more.? His accusation of the Kai seems disingenuous, but who knows with Bajoran politics,? Devers began. "He certainly does.? I sense he?s hiding behind a mask but there is probably a bigger picture here and Voha is just another cog in the wheel.?? Less said ?I am sure that there is someone greater behind the attempted bombing in the temple.? The man I chased Janus, I don?t think would be the mastermind, just another lacky brainwashed to do someone else?s bidding.? A bidding that would have killed many people.? Devers replied. ?I agree with you.? I think this is more than a...er..local... conspiracy. If that what it is? ?Sir, I?m just an enlisted grunt.? I?m good at hitting things, and running into the fray.? Politics and conspirracies are not something I am good at.? My ancestor did once say, ?Ce n'est pas une conspiration s'ils sont apr?s toi,? Deter said. ?With the Kai getting sick, a power struggle within the Vedek assembly is sure to occur, and as I understand Bajor, how the Vedek assembly goes, so goes Bajor.? That could negatively impact the Federation, how would the President, Stiave Atremi react?? ?To be honest Devers, ?I have no idea. ?This is getting too political!!. Way beyond our pay grade?? Said Keung ?Turning our attention to Isha Poann, he was clearly scared and in over his head.? I?ve requested information on Shemes Digul and Gaarhirr from the Bajorans.? We?ll see if they honor that request.? The name Gaarhirr sound Cardassian, and working in the shadows to destabilize Bajor seems to be their modus operandi.? However, since Cardassia is part of the Federation, it would be a dangerous game to play.? ~mm..Cardassia!! thought Keung,? ?They may not be openly involved.? Last thing we want is a diplomatic incident never mind war.? I would like to speculate that ?Gaarhirr may be an agent for the Cardassian Intelligence Bureau but we have no proof for that...? ?Correct, but it is a line of enquiry we need to follow up on.? Does it feel like it?ll be a rabbit hole, There is no love lost between these two planets,? Devers added. ?I think watching Voha?s interview will be interesting.? What lies is he telling, and what truths.? "Maybe we need to bring in an expert to study Voha?s behaviour and attitude.? Said Keung. What be a lot easier is to remove Voha from his cell with a mask over his head, and put him in a room somewhere with a couple of guys to persuade him to talk.? That wasn?t be the way of Starfleet not even Section 31. ?Sir, do you want to reach out to Medical, see if one of the counseling staff can help, or do you have an idea of someone else.? You could probably check the security roster to see if there was someone with that training.? My specialty is more physical intimidation.? Keung chuckled. ?I?m still getting to know my colleagues so I wouldn?t know. I don?t think getting someone from the counselling would be appropriate unless Medical can produce a truth drug!?

Keung glanced down at the PADD where he had prepared some notes. ?We interrogated the prisoners, Voha Ejise and Isha Poann. They may be members of a Duranja cell led by someone who goes by the name of Gaarhirr who may have ordered them to kidnap Dean Horavei Laelsi. Voha is the most vocal and resistant of the two. Insisting that its a fabrication devised by Starfleet. Voha claims he is a just a farmer and proud of the fact that his family fought against the Cardassians during the Dominion War. He did produce a name Kai Krevi Hebel. However, that may be a distractor to shut me up! He seems to me that his motivation is mainly political Voha seems to know more that he is letting on but he?s like a barracks room lawyer. As for Isha, he?s a different kettle of fish. He?s scared and dealing with something that clearly over his head. His motivation is money to support his family. When he found out what he had to do, he tried to back out but had to go along with the demands of the cell leader because of the threats to his family.? Lee summarized Saarsgard moved to the table and sat down on a corner, his right leg swung back and forth freely as he looked between them with narrowed eyes. "What do you need from me?" the Chief asked. ?We gone as far as we can with this interrogation. As I said, there more to Voha?s story than he?s letting on. Come to think of it, I wonder Isha maybe up to something as well. ?I did it for the money because I have a sick mother? doesn?t seem very convincing for me. Perhaps we need to move to the next level of the interrogation process and bring in a behaviour and attitude specialist.? Lee replied ?Sir,? Devers added, ?We have filmed the interrogation, along with biometric monitoring of the two prisoners. Having someone accomplished in this field would go a long way to helping us confirm what parts are true and what are false. Perhaps giving us a second line of interrogation. Ensign Lee ran this interrogation efficiently, but some additional information and a bad cop, as it were, might shake loose more information.? "Hmmm." Saarsgard considered the suggestion. He knew of someone who was capable of what they wanted but Vax was back on Mars. "Unless we bring in a Bajoran specialist our best bet is to get someone from medical involved. They might have a technician who would fill the bill. Had you brought in one of the counselors they would have been capable of monitoring them real time." He scowled at the wasted opportunity but there was no time to dwell on it. Forward momentum was needed here. He tapped his combadge. "Doctor Solice do you have a technician capable of sifting through some biometric readings for a security interrogation? I need to know what my prisoners were saying was true and what was bull****." (Reply: Solice) "Palmer? Good, send him down to security as soon as he's available please." (Reply: Solice) When the transmission ended he grunted. "Well we have one but he's considered esential personnel in sickbay at the moment. "As for bad cop..." He chuckled at that one. "I know someone who fills that bill but he's standing watch over the Kai. Looks like you will have to discontinue the interrogation for now unless you can come up with another angle." ?Aye, Sir.?

Commander Sekal From: stsalekeco at gmail.com (Charles Gatling) Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2020 19:37:40 -0500 Mission: The Root of Decay Day 20 Stardate: 2445.08.20 NRPG: The meeting is now underway. RPG: (USS Illuminar, Deck 1 - Conference Room - CO- Lt. Commander Sekal- 1105) He waited until everyone had gathered and taken their seats. There were a few stragglers which was highly unusual but then again the situation they found themselves in was unusual as well and they had come as soon as they could be made available. Once quiet had settled over the expansive holo table he stood to his feet and looked about the room. Vulcans were known for their brevity but that would have to be put aside for today, there was a lot of ground to cover. "As you are all well aware we have found ourselves in a difficult and delicate situation." His eyes settled momentarily on a number of officers who had not been among the crew when the ship had launched on its maiden voyage. "What none of you has been informed of until this point has been the full scope of the task. I am rectifying that now." He reached for the interface inset into the table before him and it illuminated with the image of Commodore Remae Ktell speaking before an assembly of Admirals. ?Thank you all.?, said Remae, who was on an outer part of the table as he wasn't included with the Admirals. The Commodore now, Captain at that time spoke for a few moments about what he saw, Bajor on fire, Q confirming that a level of a civil war was going on and that it was so bad the Republic was sent along with other resources. The status of the Republic indicated the time frame was in excess of 1 year, give the time it would take to get the ship up and running. He ended his presentation with this final sentence. ?I recommend we keep a close eye on Bajor to see if we can predict the timeline of these events.? The tableau froze on those words. Sekal then continued. "This took place one year ago after a new admiralty was chosen due to the arrest of Admiral Cayne and the disgace of its corrupted membership. Owing to the source of the information there was reasonable doubt as to its veracity. Because of this Illuminar and Exeter were sent here for the mission parameters initially noted, to show a renewed Starfleet resolve and solidarity to the Bajoran people." He paused and looked over their faces again, noting their expressions. "That was our mission but our findings here have been conclusive, from the moment Vice-Admiral Janeway notified me of the request for assistance from the Bajoran government our goal has been to stamp out any embers that flare before they ignite the civil war Commodore Remae was shown." "Our own encounter with Q was an enigma at the time, why had he chosen officers from this vessel to contact? What was his game? It appears we have now been provided a clue." He nodded to Sienna. "During Lieutenant Verin's encounter with the being Q told her something enigmatic. If the roots of the tree fail then the leaves die. Without context it means nothing but given context it comes into focus." "During Petty Officer Hammon's interview with Vedek Gele he used the same words. It was a warning issued to the Kai during her last foray into the orbs. Now we have context. While this crew has tirelessly worked to serve the Bajoran people and disarm the triggers leading to conflict our greatest challenge remains." He gave a new input to the interface and the cone of energy before which Illuminar even now was stationary appeared above the table, growing increasingly larger as it reached out into space. "This is the final and greatest trigger we must disarm or lose Bajor to a horrendous bloodletting." He left the image there. "Ensign Gregory was the first to discover this energy field and I will ask him to tell us what he knows about it. After that Lieutenant Alyl and Ensign Stennin will detail its effects on living organisms and why it is escaping from the orbs. I will be calling on many of you after that over ongoing issues to get your reports and conclusions." He nodded to Dieter. "Mister Gregory you have the floor."

Operations Ensign Dieter Gregory - 1115) Gregory sat nervously at the end of the table, opposite the Captain.He watched with fascination as the hologram played.The additional information about Q being involved disturbed the man.Q was an unpredictable, petty, narcissist according to the records of interactions with him. Most notably from the famous Jean-Luc Picard. The Captain adjusted the display on the table, and the cone of Omicron particles appeared in front of everyone. "This is the final and greatest trigger we must disarm or lose Bajor to a horrendous bloodletting." Continuing the Captain added "Ensign Gregory was the first to discover this energy field and I will ask him to tell us what he knows about it. After that Lieutenant Alyl and Ensign Stennin will detail its effects on living organisms and why it is escaping from the orbs. I will be calling on many of you after that over ongoing issues to get your reports and conclusions." "Mister Gregory you have the floor." ~Damn.What do I do?~ he thought. Standing up, he took control of the hologram table, this time expanding the view to cover Deep Space 9 and the Denoris Belt.?Before I came aboard the Illuminar, on stardate 2445.09.03 my colleague Murdok, a Benzite, noticed a strange Omicron radition.As we searched, we noticed this raditation getting stronger, with a vector pointing directly to Deep Space 9.We were able to place three probes in the Denoris Belt to capture further information.We did not, at that time know the source of the radiation, nor did we consider the planet as a source.: ?On stardate 2445.09.10, there was a massive explosion in Quarks bar. It killed a Bajoran and damaged the Ferengi?s business.Reconstruction of the accident and based on the scans we had, a highly concentration beam of Omicron was identified as the cause of the explosion.Oddly, it passed right through the Bajoran temple on the station before inducing the explosion.? Gregory paused and readjusted the hologram.?After learning of the transporter issue around the temple, the distortion field and all, I took a lot of readings and with Murdok?s help, came up with some ideas how to penetrate the field.Working with Chief S?Kakz, we started trying these ideas.? ?The results were a good news/bad news kind of thing.With the second probe, we learned there was a strong Omicron radiation to this field, and the adjustments would allow us to use the transporter.Bad news is ? well ? Transporter 2 is offline for the moment.? ?I reported these findings to the Captain, along with the fact that there was an injection that could protect humanoids from the most deleterious effects of the radiation.?

Are you conducting the interrogations in the brig or in the interrogation rooms in the security suite?" The only reason Alaya knew about those rooms was due to being mated to one of the top security officers aboard the ship and working out with him in the private security gym. She was very good with the traditional Betazoid staves and was becoming much more practiced with her knives. A deep breath and she stood, looking down at herself before heading down to Security. She was not a typical starfleet officer and likely her less than professional uniform would throw the person that they were interrogating. A thought occurred to her, and Alaya took something out of her drawer - a small case and a mirror. Taking a moment she put the contact lenses in, which gave her normal earth, blue eyes. She blinked hard to settle them in place before heading to Deck 14. (USS Illuminar- Deck 14 - Conference Room - COUNS Alaya Ravenstone - 1120) Alaya entered the conference room where Hammons and Keung were. She smiled at them both and then moved over to stand near Hammons. Alaya had blue hair, had put contact lenses in to hide her inky dark betazoid eyes and was wearing of all things, a long blue dress that was slit up one side, showing darker blue leggings and matching dark blue leather boots with a slight heel. "I don't believe we have met. I'm Counselor Alaya Ravenstone. Who are you?" She didn't offer Keung Lee her hand, instead settling it on Hammons' shoulder. She often touched him when they were together, it helped to reinforce the developing bond between the two. With a great deal of effort, Alaya could force Hammons to hear her telepathic voice, but most of the time it was not worth the effort. Now was different. ::This man does not seem to like me, Imzadi. What tales have you been telling?:: Her telepathic voice was teasing as she addressed Hammons. It also contained undertones of her extreme love for him, and a promise of what was going to come later when they were offshift.

Conference Room. Ensign Keung Lee. 1122) Keung Lee had been checking the Personnel files on his Padd whilst he waited for counsellor Alaya Ravenstone to arrive. Her file said that she was a betazoid...a telepath. . At least she might prove to be a useful asset to extract the information that would be needed. He turned to the whoosh sounds of the doors to the Conference Room being opened. Keung?s eyes widened as he was taken aback by the appearance of Counsellor Reavenstone. A blue haired woman who was wearing a long blue dress with a slit up one side, with dark blue leggings and blue leather boots. She looked like she was dressed for a party. "I don't believe we have met. I'm Counselor Alaya Ravenstone. Who are you?" she said smiling. Keung was expecting a salute then a shake of hands but she did neither and went straight over to Petty Officer Hammond and placed it on Hammons shoulder in a intimate way Keung frowned at their inappropriate behaviour. It was obvious to him, that these two might be a couple but there was a ?time and a place? and this was wasn?t one of them. Keung expected some decorum from both of them. ?No we haven?t met. I am ensign Keung Lee, Security Officer. .? Said Keung, coldly. ?I got a meeting to go so I cannot stay for the interrogation. Mr Hammons will update you on the progress we made so far. We bought you in to provide a professional evaluation of the prisoner?s responses. Send me regular updates and when you finish, I want to see a report of your progress.? Keung deliberately directed a thought to the Counsellor that what she was wearing did not conform to Starfleet regulations regarding appropriate dress codes. He saluted Petty Officer Hammons and marched out of the Conference room.

Operations has provided additional sensor bands to Science, as well as re-tasked the two probes we launched to Science to help them expand their operational reach. That is all, sir. Are there any questions?" After a moment of silence, Jaton took it to mean there were none. So he spoke up next. "What science has discovered is that the field has been causing the lethargy and comas that Medical has noted, and that it's been escaping from the orbs due to a degradation in the casings containing the orbs themselves. This was corroborated by comparing our scans with those taken by Jadzia Dax on DS9 back in 2369. We do not know yet what is causing the degradation or why this change has happened now, considering some of these orbs have been in the possession of the various Bajoran religious orders for up to ten thousand years in the case of the oldest orbs." "We have been working with Engineering to come up with some plans to shore up the containment fields which I will let them explain. We will need to present these to the Vedek Assembly to figure out which of these are the most respectful and least intrusive.

Before saying anything further, I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts over the past few days. It's not gone unnoticed the double shifts and tireless effort and work you've all put in." he nodded to a few individuals. "I'm aware we've got a few new faces and not everyone knows how this will go, but I'll call out a few people who should have something to report on in regards to Security. Please do so promptly." He moved in his seat a little, "Security-wise, now that we're back in orbit things are running much smoother. We certainly stretched out Security core to their maximum limit with all the antics on the planet. Obviously we have a few ongoing investigations which will either be wrapped up or handed over to the Bajoran Security forces before the days end. Ensign Lee- you've just come from the interviews with the two Bajorans which were part of the force which stormed the hotel could you give us a run down on the information gathered so far and how that investigation is progressing?" (Reply Lee) NRPG: Room for more.

A lot is going to happen beforehand. RPG: Mission: The Root of Decay Day 20 Stardate 2445.08.20 (USS Illuminar, Deck 5- Isolation Ward - Kai Hetel Krevi - 1218) There was no fluttering of eyelashes, no deepening of breath. No muscle moved except the tip of her right index finger as deep within her cerebral cortex a neuron pulsed sending impulses along the pathways of synapses and nerve cells. Where before all had been still, silent and velvety black light flared within her minds eye and she began to dream. It was not an end to her unconsciousness, no wakefulness occurred, the sound of voices would not rouse her yet. No this wasn't an end to weeks of suffering.... but it WAS a beginning. "If the roots of the tree fail then the leaves die." This echoed through her mind until her living brain responded. "I do not under..." The thought was cut off as abruptly as it began. That wasn't right, something about the answer was wrong so her brain brought up the memory of dazzling light and words in her own voice. "The answer lies within the orbs." That seemed right, was right she knew. "You are correct dear one but not in the orbs you know." Where did this voice, this answer come from? There was little enough to see except the vague outline of a man, someone she had seen before outlined in mist. The voice was familiar as well. Where had she heard it? It's timbre was deep and melodious. Rich and strong. Her brain responded sluggishly yet it responded. "There is another." "You refer to the one that was found and lost again." "Yes the tenth." "It is." This sent the thrill of discovery through her. "Yet it is not." The thrill turned to ashes at the words. "It is coming here even now and its end will be the restoration of what was. All that which has been torn will be made whole again." This answer sent warmth through her. This was hope in its purest form. But one can never completely foresee the end result of change. "Now sleep dear one and awake refreshed. And when you awake you will remember." The presence withdraw and she drifted away into a dreamless sleep where pain was only a memory and the future was bright.

A cool touch beneath her arms became the feel of a tightly woven and soft fabric. And then the sound became audible, a regular thrum that seemed to keep time with her heartbeat. As she lay there nearing wakefulness it became obvious the source was situated over her head. There was little else to note until the sound of someone moving around, their clothes rustling. It was that familiar sound, one almost beneath notice that sparked her eyes to flutter open. After so long asleep the soft light was dazzling, even a little disorienting so she opened and closed them several times until the blurriness started to fade. The room was sterile and bright and she noticed the sheet and blanket was thin. She moved her head, the pillow was small and not overly comfortable. She looked over at the woman who had her back turned. Her voice was low when she spoke, barely above a whisper. "This isn't my room. Where am I?" (Reply: Quinna) She tried to sit up and found to her astonishment that she could do so. She felt frail... ~No that isn't right, more like hollow... transparent.~ She was weak yes but realized that the crushing weariness was gone and the pain of moving muscles that were unwilling with it. She also couldn't help but notice that she had grown noticeably thinner. She had never carried much spare flesh and now even that was gone. Krevi also noted that she was more than a little stiff, the muscles in her back and legs needed to be stretched. "How long?" (Reply:Quinna) The sound of the monitor got her attention again and she turned to look up at the blue and white device that was displaying her heartbeat, sinus rhythm, blood pressure and the Prophets knew what else. She then looked back to the doctor and spoke with a stronger voice after breathing in a deep breath of fresh though slightly antiseptic tasting air and the words started rushing out. "How long are you going to keep me here? Are any of the Vedeks available? Why was I brought here and also you wouldn't happen to have any soup, Hasperat or juice around would you?

J.G. Quinna Solice -- 1609) Quinna sat, and she sat, and she sat even more. With the ones that have been poisoning the Kai sitting in the Brig, Quinna felt that it was ok, to have her moved into an isolation room. Quinna focused more on the Kai than the meeting from earlier. As she sat there, twiddling with her Bajoran locket. She knew that she needed to get back to her duties as CMO, but for now, she had chosen to be where she was at. Quinna moved to the monitors to check the Kai?s vitals. "This isn't my room. Where am I?" Quinna took in a deep breath, she turned and smiled, ?Your Eminence, you are the USS Illuminar.? Quinna crossed over next to the biobed. As the Kai sat up, Quinna reached out to offer a helping hand but was amazed to see the Kai was capable on her own. "How long?" ?Well,? Quinna lead off, ? You have been on board for about a day. ?You have been unconscious for a lot longer than that.? "How long are you going to keep me here? Are any of the Vedeks available? Why was I brought here and also you wouldn't happen to have any soup, Hasperat or juice around would you? By the Prophets, I'm starving! I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks." ?That could be because you haven?t? Quinna blurted out. ?Now let's start with some juice and we will go from there. In the meantime, Eminence, you have to calm down, your body is weak.? (Reply Kai) Quinna walked to the replicator and ordered us some Kava Juice. She brought it back to the Kai, ?Sip it slowly. Don?t worry, it is not fermented. If you excuse me, I need to contact the Captain, and then I will answer all your questions.? (Reply Kai) Quinna moved a few steps away and touched her commbadge, ?Solice to Captain Sekal, The Kai is awake.? (Reply Sekal) Quinna turned back to the Kai. With a tricorder in hand, ?So let me start by saying that you have remarkable strength, but I am not going to let you go until I am happy with your recovery.?

Now let's start with some juice and we will go from there. In the meantime, Eminence, you have to calm down, your body is weak.? Krevi smiled as the doctor hurried to get her something to wet her throat. She WAS weak, her stomach was painfully empty and she needed nutrients to begin building her strength. Her arms were beginning to tremble from holding herself up so she scooted back carefully until her shoulders contacted the wall then wiggled her lower body back until she was fully supported. The effort seemed to take all of her energy so she sagged back against it gratefully with a satisfied sigh just before the doctor returned. ?Sip it slowly. Don?t worry, it is not fermented. If you excuse me, I need to contact the Captain, and then I will answer all your questions.? "Thank you." Krevi could smell the crisp, tart odor of Kava berries as she lifted it to her mouth. The first taste was almost sensory overload, the second sublime. She sipped slowly, letting the juice dribble into her stomach which first growled in warning then finding something fit to break down quickly became amenable. ?Solice to Captain Sekal, The Kai is awake.? =^=Thank you Doctor. I will be down shortly.=^= Krevi didn't hear the Captain's reply but she had caught the name. The doctor then turned to her with a smile while waving a tricorder. She was exuberant which was infectious. ?So let me start by saying that you have remarkable strength, but I am not going to let you go until I am happy with your recovery.? Krevi nodded and grudgingly lowered the mug. She felt like drinking a gallon but knew she needed to take it slow, if the doctor was correct her system would be overwhelmed if she partook of too much too soon. "You are right about me being weak. What is the date?" (Reply: Quinna) Her mouth dropped open and she almost dropped the mug. "I've been bedridden for two weeks?" She grew quiet for a moment. "I was in and out for quite a while, I remember that much, waking up then fading off again. It was almost like dreaming." (Reply: Quinna) She shook her head as the doctor scanned her. "Enough about me for the moment. It looks like I'm not jumping out of bed very quickly and I'm sure you'll tell me what I need to know. Tell me your name child, a little about your ship and how you ended up on Bajor."

It was good to be awake again and not feeling like she was drowning in some dark pool. ?We came to Bajor because of you. We are here on a humanitarian mission. Not just you but many Bajorians became ill. I noticed that not many Bajorians are fond of the Federation.? Her eyes remained closed for a long moment, it might have looked like she had nodded off. When they opened she gave Quinna a wistful look. "You aren't old enough to remember events thirty years ago, I was barely in my teens when the Federation started pulling back." She took a deep breath. "Bajor was revovering well from the Occupation and business was booming. Starships made regular visits to study the wormhole and trade with other planets was constant." "Ports were built for the ships that came and went. People were laborers, mechanics, technicians, engineers and managers." She held up her hands in helplessness. "Then that declined until it was only a trickle. Without a Starfleet presence trade became more dangerous and many lost their livelihoods" She turned her eyes to Quinna. "A lot of people are bitter but they don't hate the Federation. They want things to be as they were. Even the church has been impacted as there is less funds to allocate to needed projects. I can't tell you how good it is to see a Starfleet ship at Bajor, we have seen very few here for a long time." (Reply: Quinna) "As for what I remember from before and my memory is very clear. I had just consulted the orb of the emissary when I passed out. I awoke in my bed with the physician nattering about over me." She gave a small smile. "It got worse after that though, every day it seemed the weariness got worse until it was grinding me down into the ground. I fought it until I couldn't fight it any longer and was confined to my room and in and out of consciousness. And then a long darkness for the most part until I woke up here."

She had been expecting someone to come banging on her door. Mc Taggard had set up some pillows as ammunition. To throw at who ever came through that door. While she had been laying on her face. Mc Taggard thought she heard someone laughing. It sounded very close. But a violent bout of pillow throwing. Had proved the room was very empty. She hated bullies. Even at the tiny age of one. Penny proved that just because she had yet. To master the words mummy or daddy. Taking her favourite teddy bear away. Was a capitol offence. Her grandmothers sister in law a rather red faced women. Had taken it ? Because wee girlies play with dollies nay boy toys like ah bear ?. No one actually believed Penny had deliberately managed. To tip the contents of her bowl of baby food. Over the women?s head. How could a baby managed to push a bowl along a ledge. Behind the settee where the women sat? But her grandmother mothers sister in law swore. That the wee red haired bairn had. Although Penny?s mother noticed Penny had her Teddy back.The women was never seen again. Blinking Penny sat staring at the door. Pillows at the ready.

SecO- PO 1, Steven Hammons - 0820) Steven was still lounging in bed and considering a morning shower. He had thought about a foray into the holodeck but since he was on call had decided against it. The investigations on Bajor had been taken over by Bajoran security who were now able to reallocate their forces away from the entrances to Ashalla now that tensions had ramped down significantly. The capitol of Bajor was no longer a city under seige by fanatical hordes and was breathing easier. Steven hadn't seen the Prylar since the night he had passed him at the checkpoint after assuring him that Alaya was safe. How Herla had known that was a mystery to which Hammons had no clue. The word was that Bajoran forces were looking for Herla to ask him some questions which Hammons figured wouldn't lead to anything, they were just covering their bases. As for Hammons, he had been ordered to report in late by Saarsgard unless something important came up. Steven was in the sonic shower when his comm activated and Saarsgard's voice came through. =^= Hammons I've been ordered to send a security detail to medical to keep a close eye on an observer the Vedeks are sending over and I know I can count on you to keep him or her away from the Kai.=^= "What?" Hammons turned the unit off. "The Vedeks already have someone on the ship. Why do they need another?" =^= My gut tells me Gele isn't one of 'theirs' if you get my meaning. His loyalty seems to be to Kai Hetel and they want one of theirs aboard. I don't need to tell you that everyone right now is under suspicion.=^= "Seeing as the Kai was poisoned hell yes everyone is under suspicion." =^= Glad you understand. Get to sickbay as soon as you can and don't forget your sidearm. Make sure it's highly visible. I've already sent Boyles up. Look tough and stay sharp.=^= "Not a problem, I'll be out and about shortly." Hammons left the lavatory and got dressed, after setting his sidearm on his belt he added the wicked looking knife Alaya had given him for good measure. The blade was bowie knife length though not nearly as wide and the pommel was intricately crafted. It looked mean and nasty which was the look he was going for. While the CO might not put his stamp of approval on wearing it inside the ship Hammons was following orders and could use that defense to his advantage. After his preparations were complete he left the cabin in a hurry to take the lift. (USS Illuminar -- Deck 5, - Sickbay? SecO- PO 1, Steven Hammons - 0828) Hammons strutted into medical making no effort to hide what he was wearing and made straight for the isolation ward where Kai Hetel Krevi was being treated. He nodded to one of the nurses he knew and kept on going. He could hear Boyles' voice before he got there. "No chair for us but you can get one for your expected visitor. We don't want an elderly poisoner to have to stand while he's waiting do we?" Hammons stepped around the corner. "You might want to keep that kind of accusation on the low Boyles.," Jared laughed as he looked over at his partner. "It was all in fun Hammons. I promise I won't say any such thing to his face." "I know you won't, you're more apt to talk about people behind their back." Boyles made a mock frown. "You insult me buddy. I swear the only person I talk about behind their back is you." "That's supposed to make me feel better? Steven dead-panned. "Heck no, why would I do something like that?" Steven grinned and looked over at Vedek Gele Jisel who was smiling even though he looked like he hadn't slept in a week. "Sir it looks like you could use some sack time." Jisel shook his head. "Believe me young man I've slept plenty in the last week. It won't hurt me to stay awake a few more hours." Steven nodded as the man scrunched lower in the comfortable chair, it looked like he planned on taking a nap here in the waiting room. Hammons moved to the door after looking through the window at the sleeping religous leader. she had appeared well on her way out after being brought to Illuminar but a night and a half day here had worked wonders,, she was sleeping peacefully and appeared on the mend. There was even a little color in her cheeks. When is our visitor expected?" He asked Boyles as he took one side of the door. "Next fifteen or twenty minutes." "Plenty of time to get my game face on." Hammons pasted a frown on his face, decided it would probably do then settled in to wait on the unwanted guest.
