Great stuff! It sure gives the story more body. Keep up the good work RPG: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 08:33) Aragorn was getting an overwelming sense of pride as his ship had crossed the Wormhole entrance. Up until now everything had worked out very well and the sight on the viewscreen of the swirling energypatters inside the wormhole was enough for any man to hold in his breath and admire this...wonder of nature. Out of his left eye, he saw the counsellor, who was obviously feeling the same way as she leaned forward watching the viewscreen. Aragorn also heard a fes gasps as the bridgecrew feasted their eyes on this marvel. Aragorn asked Troi: "Well, Counselor, it is wonderfull, isn't it?" Troi did not react so Aragorn raised his voice a little. "Counselor, did you hear me? I asked what you think of the Wormhole?" "Sorry, sir, I think it is fasinating. I have never been in one or at least not that I know of." She replied with a somewhat excited tone. Captain Aragorn and Cmdr T'Brant chuckled as she spoke. Realizing what they were chuckling about, she blushed and sat back in her chair. Aragorn saw that Irmat was about to make a comment so he shook his head, smiling. The FO picked up on that and closed his mouth again, smiling back to Aragorn. "Sir,permission to initiate formation Nimitz Alpha 1." Aragorn was interrupted by the question from the CONN. "Why Ensign Hammond?"The Captain queried. "Well sir,I know it would be safer to initiate this manuever when out of the wormhole.I just feel it would be safer to take up a defensive posture once we are out of the wormhole.You never know what could be on the other side sir." Aragorn smiled again. "Very well Ensign.Make it so." "Yes sir.Hammond to Kumblah." =^=Kumblah here,what can we do for you ensign?=^= "Upon exiting the wormhole I would like to initiate pattern Nimitz Alpha 1.Can we do this on my mark?" =^=Certainly ensign,on your mark.=^= The wormhole disentigrated as they enterd normal space. "Kumblah.Mark." The two ships did a little shifty dance as the Kumblah maintained its 1500m distance and scurried to the left and below of the Nimitz. "Manuever completed Captain." "Very well Ensign." He looked over to the Tactical position. "Any ships in the vincinity?" he asked. "No, sir, apart from the Kumblah and the Nimitz, there is no ship in sight." "Good." Irmat looked at Aragorn and asked, "Have you ever been here before, Sir?" "No! This is my first time through the wormhole. Have you been through it?" T'Brant smiled, "No. The RSE never saw fit to send me anywhere! That is what I meant by opportunity when answering our Counselor by the way. In Starfleet, opportunities arise that one can never foresee. Who knows Captain, if you had not had that Kr'Nil to drink on board the ^Hnoiyikar^, then I would never had to assume command of the warbird and bring it home." Kestra raised an eyebrow at that, "What is Kr'nil?" she asked with a smile on her face. Irmat looked at the Betazoid sitting across from Aragorn, and realised that she probably could, if she really wanted to, lift the information straight out of Irmat's mind! "Liquid fire! A strong Romulan drink. Even I steer clear of it! Our Captain was given some by mistake." Irmat altered his focus to look at his friend, who had a slight tinge of colour appearing on his cheeks! Aragorn was suddenly reminded of the period onboard the Spectre where he had stayed awake for more then two days to speak to Captain Ro after he had re-instated her as Commanding Officer after he had taken it away from her in the first place and felt the uneasy feeling return. Aragorn composed himself and decided he would talk to the Counselor later about it. For now he just smiled and calmly said, "Course set for the Shermug system?" He received confirmation from Conn and Ops, "Prepare to go to warp...." "Sir,engineering reports all warp speeds available,all systems functioning properly.I am notifying the Kumblah of our jump to warp speed,on your mark sir?", Hammond replied. "On my mark Ensign,Engage!" Aragorn watched the ship accelerate and jump to Warp speed. He looked around and saw the calmness with which the crew did their duty. He looked over to the ACEO behind his Ebgineering panel, waiting to see if everything went ok with the drive. As the Ensign smiled he knew they were ok so he turned his attention to his console and started reading some reports. "Captain, I would like your permission to take a quick look round the various departments. I think that all these young Ensigns are doing a good job, but there is no harm in checking?" Aragorn looked up from his own report reading at the FO, "Carry on. Good idea." And he looked back down at the never-ending streams of data flowing to him. T'Brant walked across to the Ops station and smiled at Susan as he checked the data she was currently accessing. "Everything OK?" She nodded, and pointed to her diagnostic display, "Everything checks out just fine, Sir." "How long until we arrive at the Shermug system?" Aragorn listened in on it. "About 10 hours, Sir. But that depends on whether we have to bypass an anomaly that has just appeared on our sensors." "Which sensor?" "Which sensor?" Both Captain Aragorn and T'Brant asked in unison. "Gravimetric resonance scanner, Sir. It shows a planetoid sized anomaly just 2 degrees off our present course to port. We will have to decide on a course alteration within 4 hours." She answered. Irmat made a swift mental calculation and recommended, "Captain, a 1 degree alteration to starboard for two minutes, then resume course. That should clear the anomaly by a wider margin of safety, Sir!" Aragorn nodded, "Make it so!" The starship adjusted it's course, the Kumblah following, and after the required two minutes, resumed the original settings, the Kumblah following. "Log the location of the anomaly, Ensign Rivers. Starfleet will send another ship to investigate that at another time. Our mission is to escort the Kumblah, not do surveys of spatial anomalies." Aragorn instructed. "Aye, Sir!" Susan responded. Aragorn saw the FO walk away towards the CSO and started reading again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, ACEO - Ensign Deacon, 08:35) Jim watched the viewscreen as the Nimitz traveled through the wormhole. He had never traveled through one before, and it was quite a site. He spent several minutes just watching, then turned back to the engineering station to observe the ships condition. Everything appeared fine - warp core running within normal parameters, no excessive pressures on the hull (not should there be - this was a perfectly stable wormhole, but Jim did not like to take chances) - nothing abnormal.

A small spray of blood flew from the tip of it. He lifted the dead body of an old woman back to the bunk. Saggih searched the few earthly possessions she had with her. As he found the small idol an evil grin entered his face. He smashed it against the wall. The clay idol crumbled. (Kumblah - Near engineering - Saggih Flego - 09:25 ) "Here it is. I want my money" "Saggih, have I even cheated you?" "Don't know but I cut your throat if I ever find out that you have." "Here is your money. I will contact when I need you again." The other figure straightened the position markings after Saggih had left.

I cannot love a man who allows that foul being to touch my soft cheeks." Says a woman clad in a dress made of crystals and silks. Her auburn hair intermingling with a net of sapphires. "Have no fear, Milady. I shall stand guard and protect you from his beast you described. My heart is yours as is my strong sword arm." As the knight finished his speech the doors were kicked in. "HOW DARE YOU ENTER THIS ROOM, YOU INSOLENT GNAT!" Bellowed the twisted parody of a man. He was over three meters tall and clad in misshapen armor with spikes and pieces of old opponents. The Grizzly apparition advanced. Knight bared his sword and stepped forward. "Begone from this place, you dweller of darkness, you mutated son of a monster. Or, I am forced to slay you like some mad beast." Being bellowed his rage and the room seemed to shake with fear. "I AM THE GREAT DAYIRN. MASTER OF WARRIORS, PROTECTOR OF THIS CASTLE. I WILL SLAY YOU FOR YOUR INSOLENCE BUT FIRST STATE YOUR NAME SO I MAY ADD IT TO THE LIST OF MY FORMER OPPONENTS." "I am ... My name is of no matter. You will die now and fair Kestra is free from your clutches, you pompous, puss filled monstrosity." Furious melee started. Sparks flew from weapons as they were parried and contacted the armor. Fight roamed the room and turned it into a wreck. Tapestries were torn and cabinets smashed as these two fought for the destiny of Kestra. As the knight quickly glanced at Kestra he sweared that in her green eyes sparkled a love towards him. Empowered with this knowledge he assaulted the being with skill unsurpassed. Quickly he disarmed the monster and plunged his sword into the up heaving chest. "DIE AS YOU LIVED. You tarnisher of beauty, you.. " Knight hacked at the body until it was only a lump of decaying flesh. "You truly are worthy of my love." Knight looked up from the floor. He looked around the demolished room a saw a white orchid in a vase that had miraculously avoided being destroyed in the fight. He picked the flower up and offered it to Kestra who accepted it with a smile. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Science Lab, Crewman Palmer, 10:15) "You want what?" Louise asked as she watched the eager young cadet who looked at her with his big lightblue eyes. "A corrosion correlator, crewman, I am send to get the one you lent yesterday." Louise frowned as she looked into his unsuspecting eyes. Then she suddenly realised what was going on. It was the oldest joke in the book, sending a new guy to get something from another place which didn't exist. "Who told you that I have it?" she asked the Cadet. "Crewman Martins. He told me that Chief Wiffen needed it." Louise sighed. "I am afraid that you fell for it, Cadet. There is no such thing as a corrosion correlator. I guess you'd better run back and get it over with." The Cadet looked at her. " A joke?...Sorry that I bothered you. I thought that these pranks weren't played on people anymore." "It seems that there a still a few childish pranksters onboard," Louise said and watched the Cadet's turn and slump away. Louise felt sorry for him and called him back. "Cadet, what is your name?" "Amadeus Bach Worthrop. My parents thought it a good idea to give me the names of the composers they most liked. But my friends call me Ambach." "Well..uhhh..Ambach, do you like it here?" "Not really. I was hoping that I would be sent to a research station. Science had always been my forte but they needed an Engineering Cadet on this ship and since Engineering is my second field, they posted me here." "Hmmm, really? Would you like to transfer to the Science lab?" "Could it? I mean...gosh...yes...I would love to!" " I will talk to the Science Chief and to the Captain. We are in dire need of a few good science people." "Thank you! You won't regret it!..Gosh..Wait until I tell that to the lads." "Don't do that as yet! We have to get permission first." Ambach's smiling face darkened. "Do you think there is a problem?" "No, not really. I know the Captain personally." "Gosh!...Then you must be the old man's missus! Gosh! Wait until I tell that to them!" The Cadet turned and had left before Louise could have stopped him. She smiled. ~It's not that bad, actually, no marriage ties and still the prestige. Old man's missus. Wait until I tell Aragorn." Louise started to grin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Kumblah - deck 2: sleeping area - Reverend Brendal - 10:34 ) " Brothers and sisters, you have to have faith. The Federation is searching a new home for us. New home in compensation for those that we lost due Cardassians war with Federation. The planet will be totally ours even if it is other side of the wormhole, nearly at the doorsteps of Dominion and Borgs. But have faith, Federation will protect us like they protected us in our now destroyed homes. Let's pray for a better tomorrow, outside of this old and just space worthy vessel. Let's pray that we have plentiful crops in our new home to compensate the lack of decent food we now suffer. Let's pray for the luxury the fleet officers are enjoying in their mighty battleship." Nearly all bowed their heads and started to pray as Reverend Brendal asked them. She was one of their remaining spiritual leaders, one of those who truly cared of their plight. Even as they continued praying she was already on her way to speak to the others. To inspire them in this time of trouble, she truly is a saint.

The determined face and pace made it clear that he was on a mission. As he reached the door of Counselor he stopped. He put the packet at the door. It contained one snow white and perfect orchid. ( Nimitz - TAC/ASC quarter - Ensign(Jg) Baranna - 11:15 ) Baranna took out the ampoules. He put them on the table. ~ Lifetime supply of lies. ~ He mixed together and picked one out in random. ~ One for the road. ~ He injected it but as he expected it had no effect. ~ Two for the dead. ~ He injected the second one without effect. ~ Three for the lost soul. ~ Third ampoule and no effect. Baranna grabbed a handful of them and stuffed them into his pocket. ~ I am in trouble. No, we are not. Shut up. I am Baranna. No I am Danar. ~ Baranna left his quarters. He was filled with dread. What ever was bothering him was serious. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz - Corridor - Couns - Ensin Kestra Troi - 1125) Kestra got up and headed toward the turbolift knowing that she had a red face. Then she felt Daynarian beside her as they walked to the turbolift together. After they entered the turbolift and turned around, they saw some of the crewmembers looking at them. Kestra was very happy when the door closed. "What were you doing," queried Kestra, "Trying to send me a message?" "I just thought I would try it and see what happened." Alairn returned "I don't think I would have gotten it if I had not been scanning you already." Kestra explained as she smiled shyly at him, "I will have to give you some personal lessons." "Deck 9" She said. As the doors to the turbolift opened they exited into the hallway. They strolled in the direction of her quarters talking about the Wormhole. As they got closer to her quarters they could see that there was a packet next to her door. When she was close enough she bent down and picked it up. Kestra opened it and saw one snow white perfect Orchid. As she pulled it out and looked at Alairn with a big smile. "You should not have Alairn but why did you leave it at my door and not bring it yourself?" she asked "I am sorry Kestra but I did not. I wish I had thought of it, is there a note or a name? Alairn asked Kestra looked the packet over and finding nothing she hands the packet to Alairn. Alairn looks it over a lot more throughly that she did seeing he is the security chief and knows what to look for but finds nothing either. "computer who replicated a snow white perfect orchid?" Alairn asked. <> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS NIMITZ TAC/SEC Couns quarters Ensign Alairn Daynarian 11:25) Alairn looked thoughtfully at the orchid, "What is Barana up to now?, he sighed," this could be a problem I cant say anything to Barana about this as Chief of security because I have a conflict of interest in the matter, on the other hand I doubt that Barana would listen if I approached him one on one. I think we will need to keep an eye on him at any rate, but I think you should handle this in the way you think is best, unless of course he tries something else at which point I'll step in." Daynarian and Kestra enjoyed a brief quiet lunch in her quarters, Alairn stated he had some work to do in his office, he kissed Kestra lightly on the cheek and thanked her for lunch, "Perhaps we can have dinner at my place tonite? I like to cook and I dont get the chance very often" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz - Counselor's Quarters - Ensign Kestra Troi - 11:25) Alairn looked thoughtfully at the orchid, "What is Barana up to now?, he sighed," this could be a problem I cant say anything to Barana about this as Chief of security because I have a conflict of interest in the matter, on the other hand I doubt that Barana would listen if I approached him one on one. I think we will need to keep an eye on him at any rate, but I think you should handle this in the way you think is best, unless of course he tries something else at which point I'll step in." "I think I will go visit him soon and just sit down and have a chat with him," she said thinking more out loud than actually talking to Alairn. She then turned her attention back to Alairn and their lunch. Alairn stated he had some work to do in his office, he kissed Kestra lightly on the cheek and thanked her for lunch, "Perhaps we can have dinner at my place tonite? I like to cook and I dont get the chance very often" "I would like that, say, around 1900?" she said with a smile. "Until then" he said as he walked out the door. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Nimitz - Medbay - Ensign(Jg) Baranna - 11:30 ) "No, I do not need your administration. You may return to your duties, what ever your name is." EMH looked hurt but Baranna ignored it. He placed the ampoules to medtable. "Computer. Analyze the contents of ampoules on medtable." "Ampoules contain the following materials. Hydrogen, oxygen..." "Stop. I do not understand chemistry. You could tell me it is water and I would not still understand." Baranna stormed out of the medbay. " ...correct" (Reply from any) (Posted by Jari Mäkelö) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, OPS, Ensign Susan Rivers, 11:45) Susan saw Ensign Meecham enter the Bridge and report to Aragorn. He looked very young suddenly, and she felt a twinge of guilt when she remembered how she had foisted Maria Biaggi on him in Ten Forward! ~But he must be exceptionally good at what he does or he wouldn't be here~ she thought. ~And he's got to learn how to relate to people as well as machines some time!~ A twinge of hunger made her realise that she was almost due a meal-break - in fact, she was overdue. She handed over to Forde, and left for the Mess. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 11:47) Aragorn was still reading reports when he saw the CEO enter and coming to attention. "Ensign Meecham reporting as requested sir." "Ah, Ensign Meecham, do you have a moment? I wanted to talk to you about a few engineering items. Commander T'Brant, you have the Bridge." Aragorn got up and walked over to his Ready Room. He had seen the disappointed look of his FO but he had decide to talk to the CEO alone. (USS Nimitz, Ready Room, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 11:48) Aragorn entered the Room and waited for the doors to close. He then sat down and looked at the young faced Ensign. "Mr. Meecham, Counselor Troi has reported to me that she thinks that the Engineering crew deserve a recommendation for the outstanding work they had done putting the experimental systems on the Tomcat. And yesterday I saw for myself that the Engineering crew did excellent work when they addressed the Warp Core problem. So you can tell the crew that their action have earned them a recommendation. I will note in in the Captain's log. You can also tell them that I have been very impressed with their work, with one exception." Aragorn looked straight at the Ensign. "Ensign, I know that you are new here and probably still trying to adjust. BUT when I say 7 o'clock I mean 7 o'clock! That Admiral Andrews said eight thirty is of no relevance here! He had his reasons for his time, I have my reasons for mine! I will leave it at that for the moment, Ensign, but don't ever do that again! Next time I will not be so lenient. Dismissed!" Aragorn turned his attention to his computer screen and he listened how the Ensign left. When the CEO had done so, Aragorn closed his eyes and sighed. He stayed in that position for a few moments and went on reading the reports. When he was half way through he noticed a strange text. He reread it. ~Subhadar Roga Danar? Hellions Company? Is this some kind of joke?~ "Computer! Who sent the message from Subhadar Roga Danar?" <> Aragorn frowned and opened up a link. "Captain to counselor Troi! Mr. Troi, I want you to schedule an immediate appointment with Ensign Baranna. He has sent a message to all under the name of Subhadar Roga Danar! Either he is drunk or is seeing things! Either way I want this to be nipped in the butt. Report to me as soon as you have found out what the heck is going on. Aragorn out!" Aragorn shook his head in unbelieve. He made a mental note to check up on the history of the TAC/ASC. As he was about to get his file, the commlink chirped. "Captain? This is OPS! I have just picked up a ship on long range sensors! Distance 24 lightyears. It seems to be drifting, Sir" Aragorn got up and raced out of his ready room. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz - Counselor's Quarters - Couns - Ensign Kestra Troi - 11:48) As she was resting in her quarters she received a call from the Captain. =^=Captain to counselor Troi!=^= "Ensign Troi here sir, what can I do for you?" =^= Mr. Troi, I want you to schedule an immediate appointment with Ensign Baranna. He has sent a message to all under the name of Subhadar Roga Danar! Either he is drunk or is seeing things! Either way I want this to be nipped in the butt.=^= "Yes Sir Captain! Right away" =^= Report to me as soon as you have found out what the heck is going on. Aragorn out!=^= Kestra now was very worried about Ensign Baranna and tapped her commbadge. "Ensign Troi to Ensign Baranna, I want you in my office at 1230 sharp. Do you understand?" =^= Understood. I will... be.... =^= Worried about the breakup in Barannas communication she decides to go to her office to do some more checking on Ensign Baranna. First she thinks it prudent to send someone to him to make sure he is ok. "Counselor Troi to Group Leader V'ro" =^=V'Ro her Sir, what can I do for you=^= "V'Ro I have had a disturbing communication with Ensign Baranna and was cut off. I need you to find him and make sure he is alright then let me know, I will be in my Office. and thanks Troi out" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Nimitz - Bridge - FO - Lt.Cmdr Irmat T'Brant - 11:48) "....Commander T'Brant, you have the Bridge." Irmat felt a little chagrined as Ensign Meecham disappeared into the Ready Room with Captain Aragorn, but then realised that the CO would fill him in on any relevant points later, in private. Irmat shifted over to the central 'big-chair' now that he had been left in charge. He punched up the reports that he had been reading on his own screen, but after a few minutes, his concentration was disturbed again. "Captain? This is OPS! I have just picked up a ship on long range sensors! Distance 24 lightyears. It seems to be drifting, Sir." T'Brant looked up as Ensign Rivers made her report, but then he realised that she was bypassing him and going straight to the top!! ~Fvadt! I will have a quiet little word with her later, now, this ship....~ Irmat called up the repeats of the sensors just as Aragorn raced onto the bridge and called out: "Ensign, status of that ship?" "It is still dead in the water, Sir. No energy signatures whatsoever." Rivers replied. "Ensign cha'Evekh! Can you identify that ship?" "It's a Borg ship, Sir! At least what's left of it. I read it to be half of a Borg Scout! No energy patterns, no life. It's a derelict ship, Sir!" Irmat had shifted across to his own seat so Aragorn could sit in his own chair. "So the Borg did find the Dominion!" the Captain mumbled to himself. "Is it getting closer?" he asked the OPS. "No, Sir, it just appeared at the far Starboard side. We will loose sensor contact in 2 minutes if we mainain this course." "Ok, log the position of that ship. If we have some spare time, we will investigate her later. Hold present course and speed." The panic over for the minute, the relief operators took over some of the duty stations, including Ops. Ensign Rivers and a couple of other officers left for a break. Irmat stuck his head back down to the proverbial grindstone, and upped his reading rate. These blasted reports must have been breeding somewhere! There was a seemingly neverending stream of the things! Some time must have elapsed, because when Irmat next looked up, all the original officers were back at their stations, very hard at work! Irmat stood up, and looked around. He decided that he was invisible. Nobody there could see a 2.34 meter tall green-skinned, red-uniformed, silver-haired, ridged-eyebrowed 150 year old giant! So he left the Bridge for a rest period himself. (Reply from anyone who did notice him sitting there!!) (Posted by Roy Hunter) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Nimitz - Deck 13: corridor - Ensign(Jg) Baranna - 11:49 ) =^= Ensign Troi to Ensign Baranna, I want you in my office at 1230 sharp. Do you understand? =^= " Understood. I will... be.... " ~ No, you will not be there, Baranna. You will be dead by that time. ~ Baranna fought the other presence in his mind but in his weakened condition he failed and Roga Danar took over. Roga/Baranna dropped his communicator and entered the turbolift. "Deck 9" Roga/Baranna entered the officers' quarters. He marched straight to his personal quarters. He took the crude but powerful distruptor rifle from its hiding place. Using the security override codes he forced the replicator to create power packs for it. "Computer. This is TAC/ASC Baranna. Ship is currently under Borg assault. Borgs have taken control of security devices. Disengage all security devices for a duration of twelve hours." "My sensor do not detect any Borg activity." "This is Star Fleet override code Alpha-Red 76as98uh32ku-sf666. Execute." "Security devices disabled for a duration of twelve hours. Ship is currently under Borg attack. Shall I activate alarm?" "No. hold the alarm." "I shall require authorization for that order." "This is Fleet Admiral Grozinzky. Access code 564-delta-fed23" "Code accepted Admiral Grozinzky." Roga grinned evilly. ~ Now to the phase two, Self-destruction. ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, CO, Capt. Aragorn, 11:56) As Aragron raced onto the bridge he called out:" Ensign, status of that ship!" "It is still dead in the water, Sir. No energy signatures whatsoever." "Ensign cha'Evekh! Can you identify that ship?" "It's a Borg ship, Sir! At least what's left of it. I read it to be half of a Borg Scout! No energy patters, no live. It's a derelict ship, Sir!" Aragorn sat in his chair. "So the Borg did find the Dominion!" the Captain mumbled to himself. "Is it getting closer?" he asked the OPS. "No, Sir, it just appeared at the far Starboard side. We will loose sensor contact in 2 minutes if we maintain this course." "Ok, log the position of that ship. If we have some spare time, we will investigate her later. Hold present course and speed."

"Umm doctor, what are you doing here?" "I need help with something." "I doubt that I have the technical expertese..." "No thats not it." "What is it then?" asked the counselor comfused. "I need help selecting a name." "What makes you think you need a name?" "Well. everyone on the ship keeps asking me what my name is, or if I have selected a name, or what they should call me. To tell you the truth I never thought that I needed a name until people began to ask. I supose it would improve my relations with the people on this station. But I wasn't programed to socialise, I am just an EMH." "Doctor, stop." "Sorry." NRPG: Take it from here Franklin (Reply from Troi, Any) (Posted by Oleg Kislyuk) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Mess, OPS, Ensign Susan Rivers, 12:00) Once seated with her lunch, Susan glanced around the Mess. ~Hmm. No sign of Troi or Daynarian. Oh, yes, she did say something about being in her quarters... Now I wonder if - ~ "May I join you?" She looked up to see an attractive female in a blue technician's uniform. "Yes, I guess so." "Thanks. I'm Louise Palmer." ~Ah! The Captain's lady.~ "Susan Rivers. OPS." Louise sat down. "I hope you don't mind me joining you like this, but I know so few people on board as yet. And yours looked like a friendly face." ~It did?~ "Well, thank you, Louise. I don't know too many people yet either, so it's nice to have someone to chat to. This is my first posting, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but what do you think of the Nimitz?" Louise pulled a face. "Most of the ship is fine, I guess, but the Science facilities leave a LOT to be desired. Ensign Cha'Evekh is going to have his work cut out, but at least we've managed to get him a half-decent staff now!" "Yes, I heard. How many of you are there now?" "Ten techinicians, plus of course Surin. So we should be able to cover just about anything the Gamma Quadrant can throw at us!" "Do you really think it's going to do much throwing?" Louise shrugged. "Who knows? I haven't been here before. Expect the unexpected, that's my motto," she added a little wryly, thinking about her postponed wedding plans. "And one so frequently proved true," added Susan, thinking about something else. She suddenly noticed the time. "Louise, I'm sorry but I have to go back on duty now." She smiled as she stood up. "It was nice talking, though. Thanks for coming over!" She speculated idly about Louise and the Captain as she returned to her station.

He hadn't had much of an opportunity to check them out since his arrival aboard the ship, how many hours? days? years? before.... Somebody had been into the rooms, a whole suite of rooms, and arbitrarily arranged his few meagre possessions. He wondered who that could have been? Irmat walked through to the bedroom, and opening a wall closet, discovered that his clothing had all been unpacked and hung up or layed out neatly. He ran his hand over the quilted silver/grey Romulan tunic. It was now the only outward sign of his former existence as an engineer/soldier in Romulan Star Empire service. He shut the closet door, and turning around, saw that the same somebody that had unpacked all his belongings had added a personal touch. On the wall behind his as yet unslept in bed was a beautiful painting. Measuring, he guessed, about 1 metre tall by 1.5 metres wide, it depicted an extremely familiar sight! The star 128 trianguli, with it's orbiting planets. ~Eisn... and ch'Havran circling with ch'Rihan... beautifully rendered... who painted this?~ Irmat stood for a full 5 minutes, unmoving, staring at the sight of this lovely painting of the heart of the RSE. "Computer, who arranged my personal effects and placed the painting in these quarters?" He asked. The computer chirped and replied; <> Irmat tapped his comm-badge, "T'Brant to Palmer." =^=Louise here, Sir. What can I do for you?=^= "I think you have already done it. I wish to thank you for your... thoughtfulness." =^=Oh! You've seen your rooms then?=^= The sound of her voice indicated she was smiling. "Indeed! Who painted the picture of..." =^=...your original home? Me! I worked on it for weeks in my off duty time aboard the Spectre. I intended to give it to you as a thank you present at my wedding, but when I sorted your quarters out, I thought that it needed something to remind you of home.=^= Louise said. "This is my home now, Louise. But I appreciate the thought. You have a rare and gifted talent! Does Aragorn know about your artistic talent?" =^=Not that I know of... HEY! Maybe I could paint a picture of his original home too...=^= "Hold it right there! The Nimitz is his home..." She interrupted him right back, =^=... and I will be known as Louise of Nimitz once we EVENTUALLY get married. We have already talked about it! Hey, I must get on with my work, Sir, see you later?=^= "Fine, Louise, and thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I appreciate it. T'Brant out!" Irmat stripped his clothing off and threw it all in the disposal. Walking naked into the bathroom, he activated the sonic shower, but it didn't feel as satisfying as water. He changed over to the water cycle, and upping the temperature to a scaldingly hot setting, scrubbed himself to a consistently all-over bright green. Then he activated the hot air drier, and two minutes later, left the spacious bathroom for the bedroom. He replicated a completely new fresh uniform, from underwear outwards, and dressed. Then, checking his appearance one final time in the full length mirror, left his rooms heading for the Crew's Mess Hall. He never got there! =^=Captain Aragorn and Commander T'Brant to the Bridge. Security breach in progress.=^= ~Fvadt!~ Irmat swore to himself as he hit the turbolift at a flat out run! "Bridge!" He commanded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Kumblah - Deck 8: temporary sickbay - Man with a mission - 12:03 ) Dierde was again in pain. The Trachonian cancer had spread into nearly every organ. Doctors gave him painkillers but the effect was only temporary. Diedre had even considered suicide but it was against her beliefs. ~ I will not see our new home. I will die before it. ~ Deirde took one more painkiller to ease her condition so she could sleep. She slowly drifted into a fitful slumber. A man arrived silently beside Dierdes cot. He smiled sadly and started to move his hands all over her body, never touching. His smile turned slowly into a grimace. A grimace of pain. He had paled considerably but Deirdes troubled sleep turned into a peaceful sleep, first time in years. Man left silently but his stride was not as sure as it was earlier. Cancer burned in his system.

"Computer initiate martial arts training program, level five, adapt for stronger than human physiology" By setting the program this way, Alairn knew the computer would compensate for his capabilites and he would get a decent work out The holo instructor appeared and bowed, Daynarian did the same, then he and his opponeant faced off, with out warning the instructor flipped forward and tried to kick Alairns legs out from under him, Alairn jumped back and delivered a round house kick to the instructors chin, who responded by striking a blow to Alairns mid section, Alairn was suprised he actualy felt that one, a reminder that his invulerability was relative to the strength of his opponeant, up against someone of equal or greater strength he could be hurt. Deciding it was time to end this match, Alairn lured the instructor in by seemingly dropping his guard, when he was in range, Daynarian struck a single focused blow to the center of the instructors chest, he fell to the floor and vanished, indicating that the match was over and he had won, the computer would run an evaluation of his performance that he could read and hopefuly use to improve his skills, "Computer send evaluation to my quarters please" Daynarian head back to his quarters and a quick shower he changed back into his uniform and headed for the Bridge.

Only way was into the side room and trying to find a way from there. Roga Blew the hatch away and jumped into the room. ~ What was that. ~ Roga/Baranna pointed the distruptor rifle at the battle armored trooper behind the desk. Barannas consciousness made one last thrust through the Roga Danar personality. Rogas aim was disturbed and the beam missed Kestras head. Horrified expression entered Roga/Barannas face. "NOOOOOO. HELP ME." Roga/Baranna ran out of the counselor's office. He collided with some crew members but continued to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( USS Nimitz - Counselor"s Office - Couns - Ensign Kestra Troi - 12:37 ) Kestra was sitting at her desk reading the file on Baranna when a load exploision occured. She dove behind her desk until the noise subsided then she peeked above the desk to see Baranna standing there with what looked like a disrupter rifle pointing at her. "Baranna NOOOO" She cried as she tried to get behind cover again. He fired and should have hit his mark at this range but for some unknown reason the shot went wide. Just before he left the office area, Kestra noticed a horrified expression on his face. "NOOOOOO. HELP ME." Baranna cried as he ran out of the office only to collide with some crew members and lucky for them he continued to run. "Counselor Troi to Ensign Daynarian" She said over her commbadge as she brushed herself off. The ship alarms going off because of the disrupter fire. =^=Daynarian here Kestra what can I do for you=^= "Baranna just fired a dirupter in my office, can you get here?" She asked =^=Be there shortly, got to inform the captain what is going on and send some teams to try and find Baranna.=^= "Thanks, let me know if you find him, Troi out" She got busy then pulling herself together and her office. She sat down in her chair and started a mental search of Baranna. She finally contacted him and in returned she received things like a persona of a Danar which is almost in full control of Baranna, lots of pain, stimulates, hatred for counselors, a knight in shinning armor, a damsel in distress(her) and at this she drops the connection as the door opens to the request of the security chief. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, TAC/ASC, Ensign (jg) Roland Grund, 12:40) The turbo lift door opened and Roland stepped out onto the bridge. The young security ensign who manned the tactical station noticed him and vacated the position. Roland checked the tactical display and noted that all seemed to be in order. He tapped out a query to all security stations to report it, but was supprised to get a bad tone and a message that all security functions had been disabled. Thinking that perhaps he had miskeyed his entry, he tried again with the same result. He tapped out another query to find out why the security functions were disabled. "There are no admirals on board the Nimitz!" Roland exclamined. "Borg attack?" The others manning the bridge turned to look at Roland in shock. Roland tapped his comunicator. "Bridge to Enisgn Daynarian. We have a possible intruder on board. It appears that the security functions on the ship have been blacked out for a period of 11 hours. Authorization was given by an Admiral Grozinzky, although we have no records of him being on board. Also, the computer reports that we are under attack by the Borg." (reply from Daynarian, any) (Posted by Randell Miller) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- USS NIMITZ Daynarians quarters Ensign Alairn Daynarian 12:40) Alairn was getting dressed after his shower, when he got a call from Grund Daynarian swore "what the hell is going on around here, Can you tell who locked out the computer functions Mr Grund? "See if you can get engineering to help you, alert the Captain to the situation I am on my way to the bridge" (reply from any) (Posted by Kevin Brodeur) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, OPS, Ensign Susan Rivers,12:40) Susan had barely relieved Forde at the Ops station when the whole Bridge was surprised by an exclamation from Ensign Grund at Tactical. "There are no admirals on board the Nimitz! Borg attack?" Susan immediately swung back to her console, checking her instruments while listening to what Grund was relaying to Daynarian. "Bridge to Enisgn Daynarian. We have a possible intruder on board. It appears that the security functions on the ship have been blacked out for a period of 11 hours. Authorization was given by an Admiral Grozinzky, although we have no records of him being on board. Also, the computer reports that we are under attack by the Borg." ~The Borg? But there's no attack!~ Her instruments read normal - except for the security blackout. She tried to bypass it, but had no success. Her authorization was not high enough to counteract that of the supposed Admiral. The only thing she could find out was where the authorization had come from. "Ensign Grund! I think Baranna may have something to do with this - the authorization came from his quarters." He acknowledged the information with a nod, as he too tried to override the security blackout. "Would you notify the Captain and the First Officer as to what is going on?" She nodded. "Captain Aragorn and Commander T'Brant to the Bridge. Security breach in progress." ~Now how the *hell* can I bypass this lockout! Damn the man - he's even put a time code on!~ Aragorn entered the Bridge, closely followed by T'Brant - not exactly running, but pretty close. "Report!" Grund brought the senior officers up to speed, and Susan added "I can't override the blackout, Sir. The authorization is too high! Also, as it has been put in place for 11 hours, that makes it more difficult still. Unless..." A thought struck her. "Unless we could somehow fool the computer into thinking 11 hours had passed..." "Get on to it, Ensign." "Yes, sir!" She began to investigate how she could change the computer's internal chrono without disrupting all the other systems. It would be difficult, she knew. So many of the ship's minor functions were related to the chrono. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Nimitz - Deck 1: Bridge - FO - Lt.Cmdr Irmat T'Brant - 12:42) T'Brant arrived apparently right behind Captain Aragorn. "Report!" Said the Captain. Grund brought the senior officers up to speed, and Ensign Rivers added "I can't override the blackout, Sir. The authorization is too high! Also, as it has been put in place for 11 hours, that makes it more difficult still. Unless..." She hestitated thinking. "Unless we could somehow fool the computer into thinking 11 hours had passed..." Aragorn liked it, "Get on to it, Ensign." "Yes, sir!" She began an intensive work session on the computer console. (Nimitz - Bridge - FO - Lt.Cmdr Irmat T'Brant - 12:45) Alarms went off, indicating that a disruptor had been fired somewhere on the ship! Irmat immediately accessed the computer report, and discovered the location of the event. The Counsellor's office! T'Brant checked on the Scurity Chief's location, and was informed he was on his way to check it out. ~Baranna!~ Irmat thought, he turned to the CSO, "Did you crack that computer encryption on Lt.De Segura's files?" "Yes, Sir. Sending to your position now. You have full access..." The Vulcan responded. Irmat went into hyperspeed reading mode as he read all of Ayrton De Segura's sometimes rambling thoughts and findings and suspicions about the Angosian Assistant Security Chief. Very interesting! And added to that were the other messages etc., that had been circulating! "Captain, we have a real problem with Ensign Baranna..." Irmat started to say, but Aragorn cut him off. "I know, I put Troi onto his case, but..." Irmat finished it, "... things have changed! Permission to go and see for myself?" "Denied! I need you here. Ensign Daynarian and the Marines will handle it and report in due course." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Kumblah - Temporary Sickbay - Ensign Spectre - 12:43 ) Tobias washed his hands then his face. He felt tired, so very tired. After drying his face on a towel he switched off the water. Throughout the morning one thing had bothered him. In every person he had dealt with all of them had one question he could not answer. He could see it in their eyes, their expectant faces. " When will we find a home ?" Tobias did not have an answer. He re-entered the temporary sickbay. Things had calmed down enough that the nurses were adequately coping. He looked around happy with what he had done today. ~ Time for a rest, i'm not needed here now ~. He left the sickbay and emerged out into one of the labyrinthine corridors that pervaded the transport. Cardassions seemed keen on small, claustrophobic architecture. Tobias turned to head to his temporary quarters. He turned a corner and almost ran into a young man running towards sickbay. The man looked at Tobias recognising him instantly. " Your the Starfleet Doctor" " I'm a Starfleet doctor, yes" replied Tobias. " We need help ... deck 5 .. someone dead .. old woman" he panted back. Tobias nodded weakly, ~ Spoke too soon ~ He re-entered the sickbay to collect his medical equipment. The man on his heels like a faithful dog. Once done, Tobias motioned for the man to lead the way. They left with Tobias trying to keep the man in sight. ( Kumblah - Deck 5: - Ensign Spectre - 12:57 ) The woman lay there, unmoving, unseeing. She was most definitely dead. Even if he was not a doctor he could tell. The obvious factor was the stab wound. Unnoticable by the way she lay, but as Tobias probed he found it. A small slit in her side, just right to pierce various needed organs, with the right sized weapon of course. Blood was also evident near her bunk, signs of the murder taking place. It was murder, Tobias was very sure of that. ~ No rest for the wicked ~ He tapped his comm-badge. " Dr Spectre to Ensign Daynarian " =^= Daynarian here, what can I do for you Doctor ? =^= he sounded stressed. " I need you to come over to the Kumblah. There is something that needs your attention. A woman's been murdered. " =^= I'll be there as soon as I can=^= came the reply. Tobias looked at the woman. " Farewell " he said and waited for Daynarian to appear.

"He did what????" Daynarian sputtered, Green went on "Mr Green you and your men are to contain Barana only keep him pinned down in one area, but do not approach, I repeat do not approach him, he is way too dangerous in a combat situation, I'll be right there understood marine?" Alairn Tapped his comm badge again, "This is Chief Daynarian to all personel Level one security alert Ensign Barana has gone rogue, find him but under no circumstances are you to engage, report your position to the bridge" "Computer-Locate Barana" =^=Ensign Barana is in his quarters=^= "Daynarian to V'ro take a squad of marines and check his quarters" "I figured as much, Captain with your permission I am going to lead the search personaly, Barana is my responsibility, plus I am probably one of the few people who can bring him in, with out killing him or being killed in the process" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz - Counselors office - Ensign Kestra Troi 1:30) Alairn not getting an answer at the door used his security override codes to open the door and entered to find Kesta at her desk with her eyes closed. Shaking her a little, she starts to come out of her trance. "Kestra are you alright?" Daynarians concern for her was evident. Kestra looked up at him "I am ok, he hesitated at the last instant and missed me," she said "afterwards he had this horrified look on his face. There is something really wrong with him. We have to find him." Daynarian nodded "from what I know of his background his missing was no accident, if he missed it was because he wanted to, Kestra he seems to have fixated on you, I think the safest place for you to be until we find him, is the bridge, I am going to lead the search myself, In fact I have a pretty good idea of where to find him". "I guess, though I really do not think he would harm me. Try not to hurt him, Alairn, he is hurting already. Let me know when and where you have him." She said as she started to walk out. Daynarian escorted her to the bridge then took the turbolift to some unknow location. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Uss Nimitz Counselors office Ensign Alairn Daynarian 1:30) "Kestra are you alright?" Daynarians concern for her was evident, she looked up at him "I am ok, he hesitated at the last instant and missed me" Daynarian nodded "from what I know of his background his missing was no accident, if he missed it was because he wanted to, Kestra he seems to have fixated on you, I think the safest place for you to be until we find him, is the bridge, I am going to lead the search myself, In fact I have a pretty good idea of where to find him". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (USS Nimitz, Bridge, OPS, Ensign Rivers, 13:45) "I think I've found a way to do it, Sir, but there will still be some minor disruptions to ships systems." "How minor?" "Mainly deck lighting being dimmed, the graveyard shift being called, things like that. Nothing that can't be fixed later. But it will take a while to protect the other systems." Aragorn thought for a moment. "Do it, Mr Rivers." Susna's fingers flew over the console, making the modifications needed. As she worked, she heard Troi enter and speak to the Captain. ~He tried to shoot her! The man must be more crazy than I thought!~ She noticed that Daynarian had sent an armed security team to the Bridge. ~At least he seems to be on the ball. But why didn't all the alarms go off? That peta'Q must have disabled them with the security systems.Something else to fix!~ At last she finished. "Ready to try now, Sir." "Proceed, Mr Rivers." Mentally crossing all her fingers, Susan started the procedure. The lights on the bridge flickered, then stabilised. One by one, the lights on her console blinked off and on, as the systems compensated for their percieved jump in time. It wasn't until she heard Grund say, "Security systems back on line, Sir!" that she realised she had been holding her breath. Swiftly she ran a status check. "All systems operating within normal parameters, Sir. Apart from the fact that as far as the computer is concerned, it's the middle of the night!" She sent a ship-wide message to all comm badges explaining what was happening, although she was kept busy for the next few minutes answering queries from various crew-members who had been asleep!

As she worked, Troi entered and spoke to the Captain. "Sir, Ensign Baranna just fired a disruptor rifle at me, but, I do not think he is in full charge of himself. What I got from his thoughts is disturbing at best but I believe I will be able to help him once they find and detain him. Ensign Daynarian and his marine detachment is looking for him right now." Aragorn nodded. Irmat was about to say something when Ensign Rivers reported that she had finished. "Ready to try now, Sir." "Proceed, Mr Rivers." Ordered the Captain. She started the procedure. The lights on the bridge flickered, then stabilised. One by one, the lights on Irmat's chair arm panel blinked off and on, as the systems compensated for their perceived jump in time.

T'Brant turned to the Captain and said, "This Baranna business is bad! We shall have to do something drastic if our Counsellor can't help him." Aragorn nodded and said, "Any suggestions?" "Only one," Irmat replied. "You know I studied ancient Terran history?" Aragorn frowned and waited for Irmat to cycle through one of his lengthy dialogues... "Well, a one time President of the United States of America once said, when he appointed a political rival to a position of power: *It's better to have him inside the tent pissing out, rather than outside pissing in on us...*, so I recommend that we contain him aboard the Nimitz, with sedation if necessary, until we return to the Starbase and seek high-level psychiatric assistance for him. No disrespect to our Counsellor, but she is a little too close to this to be dispassionate." "Agreed, in principle." Aragorn answered. Irmat tapped his comm-badge, "Mr. Daynarian, any news yet?"

Why you are trying to fight the programming. ~ ~ I am no project, I AM BARANNA. ~ ~ Of course you are. We are the Project. We have been build to infiltrate and destroy enemy ships, we are the ultimate war machine. ~ Roga/Baranna opened the hatch. He quickly scanned the storage room. Quietly dropping into the storage room Roga/Baranna started to open photon grenade crates. Cool end of phaser mark III touched Roga/Barannas head. "Baranna. If you move I will blow your head away. Put that crate down slowly. I do not want to kill you but I will if you do not obey." V'ro watched carefully each move Baranna made. "I figured you would come here for supplies. I was expecting you much sooner. Why did you tried to kill Counselor" As Roga/Baranna lowered the crate his head was removed from the close proximity of Phaser rifle. Lightning fast kick connected with the rifle and it vaporized one crate. Powerful uppercut nearly connected with V'ros chin but her backpedaling saved her. Roga/Baranna grabbed the rifle from V'ro and slammed it hard against her ribs. Loud exhale was the only voice emitted from V'ro mouth. "I am sorry." Baranna got out of his mouth as Roga/Baranna struck V'ro with the butt of the rifle. ~ We must attack security to make them kill us. ~ Roga/Baranna tried to take some grenades but Baranna forced him the walk out of the storage. As he stepped to the corridor he was spotted by two security troopers. Roga/Baranna quickly fired towards them but troopers took cover as quickly. He sprinted down the corridor and evaded the heavily armored troopers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Kumblah - Deck 2: bulkhead 4 - Saggih Flego - 15:02 ) Nearly all of Fleet officers had left Kumblah. The young doctor was still in the ship but his hands were filled with work. Saggih wandered around the deck waiting for his contact. ~ She is late. I need a fix and quick. ~ Saggih fidgeted as his nervousness grew. "Do not act so suspiciously." Saggih yelped. "Don't do that to me. You got the stuff?" "Of course but is the bargain still up?" "Just give me what I need and I am your servant." Woman smiled and handed over the pouch with powder. "There is 200 doses. You better make the money we agreed on or..." "Yeah, yeah, you get your money." Saggih hurried to the shadow of the bulkhead and started to create smaller packets of the larger amount.

After the meal many still felt the pangs of hunger. Envious looks were directed towards the clean and well-fed fleet personnel. More and more of the refugees started to thing what Reverend really means with her speeches and prayers. "Mama, why those others go away from here? Why they are so clean?"

Only one cat detected their movement in maintenance ducts but it had been busy chasing some mice's. Roga part was growing restless. It was babbling of death and liberation as it seeks ways to kill one of the officers. Baranna had just waited and gathered strength. Somehow the hatred towards counselors had drawn them here. The door to the counselor Trois quarters opened and Baranna fought for control. He threw the rifle in the room and as Roga tried to follow it, he went limp. Fighting with every inch of his strength against the compulsion to follow Roga Danars orders he writhed in the floor. " TROI. HELP ME. THERE IS SOME ONE IN MY MIND. KILL IT. KILL IT.

Roga rolled to his feet like a cat and grabbed his disruptor, eyes blazing "Die" he said simply and fired at Daynarian, Alairn took the hit "unhhh he isnt doing me any permaneant damage but it still hurts like hell" Daynarian dropped to a crouch and sprung forward crossing the distance between he and Roga he grabbed the end of the disruptor crushing the weapon in his hand as he did so with his other hand he made a fist and struck, he pulled his punch but the force was still enough to send send Roga spinning through the door out into the corridor he was unconscious before he hit the floor.

Doctor had treated her injuries as well as possible. Broken ribs would heal as would the smashed cheekbone but she was not sure of the other wounds. She had been so confident and glad when she caught Baranna in the storage area. V'ro had rationalized that if she is the first one to speak for him, he would surely surrender. V'ro tried to change position but the sharp pain from ribcage changed her mind. ~ He was too fast. I was sloppy. Or both. ~ V'ro had never been so scared as in the storage room. She knew that killing Baranna was out of question and so she set her rifle to maximum stun. It did not mean anything now; she had not even pulled the trigger voluntary. Rifle went off as Baranna kicked it out of firing line. ~ That uppercut might have snapped my neck if it would have connected. ~ Next thing she remembered was pain in chest and rapidly approaching butt of a rifle. She had tried to reconstruct the encounter again and again in her mind but always it ended same way. She saw Baranna plunging the rifle against her head. Shivers ran down her spine each time she remembers the eyes. His eyes, the pools of darkness, of death. " How are you V'ro?" She was startled and tried to rise. Pain was terrible. Tears started to flow freely and a pain filled gasp escaped her lungs. Gizz watched her with sad eyes. " Take it easy, little one. No need to be afraid. He is caught and in no position to hurt you." V'ro started to cry and Gizz tried to comfort her. " How could he do this to me, Gizz?" Gizz shaked his head. "He was delusional or so they say, he did not knew what he did." Gizz patted her head gently.
