"Yeah, ok" commented Nishi, knowing that hiding two would be harder than hiding one. As Nishi moved away from him he threw out a, "Don't get yourself killed." Nishi nodded, it was a 4 way junction, Nishi chose one randomly, after deciding not to go back toward sickbay, it was too obvious. The computer had informed them that deck 10 had been sealed, which would also include those maintenance tunnels that ran through the ship. His options were limited, find a security team and try to convince then that he was their security chief, but that would be unlikely, by now, the chances are that at least one of them had seen his double, and the chances of them being in the same clothing were pretty low. The other options were, find a panel, cupboard, or hatch that he could hide behind, for as long as he could, but the odds on that working were slim. Of course if one of the others had made it to the captain's yacht, maybe there was hope, maybe somebody would be able to transport him out, maybe. Right now, he just had to keep moving. [Reply: Any] Stardate:2406.05.17 (USS Nimitz- Deck 10 -Evil Fickett- 0646)   Fickett and Nakamura raced down the hallway to the turbo lift.  Fickett nearly bounced off the door as it did not open.   "What the..." he said in surprise.  He stepped up to the door again and it did not open again.  "Computer, why is the door to turbo lift not opening."   [Deck 10 has been sealed.]   "Damn it!" he shouted and hit his fist against the wall.  He looked at Nakamura and thought fast.  He could here the sound of footsteps and voices coming towards them.   "Looks like we're on our own.  Let's split up and meet back at the captain's yacht."   (reply Nakamura)   As Nishi moved away from him he threw out a, "Don't get yourself killed."   Nishi nodded at him and then jogged away.  Fickett then began to search for a place to hide.  Then he saw a room that said "10 Formard".  He thought about it then went in.  If there wer people in there maybe he could blend in.  He wasn't thinking that it was so early in the day.  However there were a few groups in there.  He pulled up close to one of them and tried to look invisible.   (reply Nakamura(either), Kateb) (posted by Al Muir) Stardate:2406.05.17 (USS Nimitz – Sickbay – ACMO – Ensign (jg) BigWill Kinkaid – 0650) The transporter beam dissipated and Kinkaid was a little bit disorientated. Onyx and Nishi were standing over the badly injured bodies of Dr. Fickett and the nurse. Kinkaid did not ask questions his first and only priority was to his patients. By grabbing the medical tricorder, Kinkaid scanned Fickett’s persons. The scans showed that Fickett had a broken nose, minor lacerations and swelling to the head. Kinkaid reached over to the medical tray and pick up a hypospray of kayolane. He placed it on Fickett’s neck and administered the dose to ease the swelling and the pain. Then Kinkaid used the medical scanner on Fickett’s broken nose. The prescribe treatment (Bicaridine treatment) regenerated the nose bone causing it to mend back to normal. Kinkaid re-scanned Fickett. “His bio readings are stable, but he will need a moment to rest.” Kinkaid responded. (Reply CMO, Fickett) Kinkaid went to the adjacent biobed to check on the nurse. The nurse’s condition required a more sensitive approach. After administering a hypospray of kayolane and treating the bruises sustain to the facial area, Kinkaid noted that the nurse’s neurological readings were quite high almost off the scales even though the vitals were stable. Kinkaid prescribed a 2cc tricordrazine hypospray to stabilize the neural pathways to ease the mind of the trauma from the attack. The medical scanners showed that the treatment was working and the neural readings were leveling off. Kinkaid stated, “The nurse’s condition is stable, but will need to report back to sickbay for further treatment if symptoms return.” (Reply CMO, the nurse, anyone) (Posted by Nathan M.

I mean, Falthgood, Fickett, even if they are our crew and the alternate by the same occasion, only one could make the difference between the 2 and it's Kestra.. Hunting for them might take a long time. They will try to get to engineering, to sickbay probably for supplies, and they will take a ship. It's what I would do myself if I wanted to get out of here.? "Good idea Ensign," Sash replied. "Get on it." ?Understood Sir!? Onyx open the way followed by Nishi. ?What do you think?? (Reply from Nakamura) ?It was the only solution I could think of at the moment. Computer send message to all security. On order to have under arrest the following crew. Fickett, Falthgood, Winters and the alternate Sevant... be carefull they could be arm and dangerous.? (Reply from Nakamura) ?Me in security, I think that a lot of people would be in trouble.? She chuckled. ?Where I am right now, I can do stuff that would surprise you. Computer, seal Sickbay deck, access code, Onyx Epsilon 2.? [Sickbay deck sealed.] ?Kateb to Security, I would like Sickbay deck to be search completely following the captain's instruction.? (USS Nimitz ? Sickbay, deck 10 ? 0649) They arrive on the deck and there was silence at first but she could hear foot steps and the security men talking and searching. Onyx and Nishi continued to sickbay to see a disaster. Doctor Fickett was on the floor, unconscious the same for a nurse. Onyx took a medical tricorder and scan Fickett, he had a broken nose, DNA evidence showed that it was Nakamura. ?Your double was here... recently... We mustn't have missed them by a lot. Help me get it up the biobed, I will give him first aid. Help the nurse also to one.? Onyx quickly stop the bleeding and heal partially his nose but then she heard a scream, it was the nurse who pushed away violently and even attack Nishi. Onyx had to interveen. ?STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW. This Nishi is the good guy.? (Reply from the nurse) Onyx took her in her arms and help her to a bed. ?Where did they go?? (Reply from the nurse) ?Will you be able to take care of the doctor, we have to go get them right now.? (Reply from the nurse) Onyx saw 2 security officers came rushing in. ?It's ok guys... you will stay here and I don't want anyone to get out of this room.? ?His he under arrest?? Said one of the security officers. ?No, this Fickett is the good one... but that's why you have to stay here... to protect him.? ?Understood!? He look at Nakamura who seem to have said yes. ?We need to get them.? Onyx was angry for a very good reason. Her scan revealed that the nurse got molested by the alternate Fickett. He didn't went very far but that was just to far for Onyx, that guy was going to receive his punishment. (Reply from Nakamura) Onyx grab tighter her Bat'Leth and they both walk out wondering how it would be played. Would they come face to face with them, or have to run for them. ?Onyx to Sash... the alternate Nakamura and Fickett were in sickbay. They have attack Doctor Fickett and a nurse. They are fine but in bad shap. Sickbay deck is sealed for now, they are probably still there.? (Reply from Sash) =^=Understood Sir...

Tannasg had just arrived at his station, trying to get to know the ship’s systems a little better when the captain came in over the comlink. “Ensign Tannasg here sir. Scanning the ship.” He wasn’t fully aware of what was going on, but the words ‘escapees’ and ‘captain’s yacht’ were clear enough. With that done he managed to turn his attention back to Vanyssa. It didn’t take Tannasg long to scan the captain’s yacht and the surrounding area. He discovered the escapees, they were breaking in to the yacht. There was no need to scan the rest of the ship now, and the Romulan should warn Sash and the security detail immediately. “Tannasg to Captain Sash. Sir, They are breaking in to the yacht.

The gymnasium was empty, Onyx lock it down, like other rooms has they walk along. Either of them wanted to get there hands on those 2 alternates. Then she heard a voice, but it was an echo. "Damn it!" and after. "Don't get yourself killed." “It's really feint... that way do you think? It's a good sign that they are trap with us on this deck.” Onyx look at Nakamura. (Reply from Nakamura) They picked up the pace and suddenly stop, they could hear running, has they went to a intersection Nakamura saw his double, like Onyx did, just one look was enough for her to know what he was thinking at this very moment. “Go after him, I will go after Fickett. Be careful!” (Reply from Nakamura) “I will.” ~With a bit of fun into the mix... I wonder how my alternate is doing and who she is.~ She thought has she kept going. “Where are you Fickett?” She said to herself has she open a reserve door and lock it after inspection. Then her eyes cut the glimpse of the side panel. Ten Forward right ahead. “I would if I was him.” (USS Nimitz – Ten Forward – 0656) Onyx entered and saw that there was people, it was going to make her life harder. She saw 2 security officers that were looking around. They were at the bar looking at everyone. “You 2, I need your help... Go to the 2 entrance and stay there, if Doctor Fickett, wants to get out, stop him, he is under arrest.” “We didn't see him Sir!” “Go there anyway and stay put.” Onyx gave them a look that made them go into attention. She was happy that at least her time with the Klingon was good for something. “Yes! We are going!” Onyx turn around and look at the group, at first she saw nothing unusual. Holding her Bat'Leth such a way that she would not hurt anyone but in a state of readiness she started to look around.

"Lets take a look" he said, heading in the direction the sound had come from. They made their way down the corridor, this game of cat and mouse could only go for so long, the fugitives were out numbered and trapped, but they were also desperate, which gave them something, it wasn't much, but it was something. Nishi and Keteb rounded a corner and caught a glimpse of Ficket and himself splitting up: Ficket took one branch in the corridors, his double another. The picture Kestra had painted of his double, the reports of his actions when he was last loose on the ship, Nishi knew he had to be stopped, it seemed that Kateb knew what he was thinking. "Go after him, I will go after Fickett. Be careful!" Nishi didn't like the idea of letting Kateb go after Ficket alone, not that he didn't think she could handle herself, he'd seen her in action, and to be honest that was part of the reason he didn't like it. "Ensign" he said sternly, as they stood there about to part ways " Whatever you do, do not kill him, that's an order" Nishi waited a moment, hoping that she realized just how serious he was, before adding, "and be careful."

She knew why it was dark, because Sash had hurt her. He had went to *her*, and then *she* had turned on Vanyssa, leaving her in the dark. She knew that this wasn't death, because she could look out of her eyes every once in a while and see Sash there, and knew that he didn't want her and retreat back into the darkness. The darkness might be cold, but it wouldn't hurt her. She looked up and saw David there, then he knelt down next to her and held her in his arms. "Imzadi, I'm lost without you." She said, weeping into his uniform top. She was so proud of him, almost all of the time. He was strong, and he cared about her ever so very much. "Shh, little one. Shh. It will be ok." The comforting presence said to her. Even in the dark, his presence would keep her safe. "Imzadi, I've hurt so many that I love.... and it wasn't me." She said, so sad and upset. He brushed her fine red hair away from her forehead, and petted her like a little girl. He looked up and saw a purple light standing there. "It's time, Nessa, darling." He said, taking her by the arm and helping her up. "It's time for you to walk boldy forward into the light, my love." Vanyssa was revolted by the purple light which was fighting the dark and dank purple light. "Your friends have come to help you." Vanyssa turned to see a very bright yellow light and a dimmer red light, both lending her strength. As she looked, another light winked into existence, this one blue. She searched David's face, wanting more than anything for him to come back with her. He leaned down and kissed her lips, leaving behind a warmth of fire, then turned from her and became a very blinding white light. She looked over and there was a dark forest green one, quite dimmer than the rest, but joining the push to drive her forward from the darkness. She screamed as daggers of ice lanced through her, erupting bleeding cuts on her body, then screamed again, this time psychically as the dark purple force twisted itself into a cyclone, dragging her down with it. ::NO!:: The bright white force screamed, grabbing the others to it and making a rainbow, throwing the rainbow of colors at the dark force and forcing it back as the purple broke away and smooshed it down, and eventually the dark evil force disappeared. She felt herself loose consciousness then, and felt her entire body grow cold, but she was wrapped in warmth. She struggled to look up into his face, then saw Sash looking down at her. She held the feeling of him in her head to her as she passed out again from the extreme psychic pain. As she was losing consciousness, she felt David again, and a kiss on the forehead. ~Don't remember. Heal.~ Her mind took the suggestion and made it reality.

There wasn't much he could do here on the bridge, besides keep running the scans. "Maybe i can be of better use down there..." he realised he spoke the words out loud when the person standing next to him suddenly turned towards him. "Are you allright?" The Romulan didn't respond. He left the bridge and headed to the Captain's Yacht in the turbolift. "I'm sure the security squad will have things under control, but it never hurts to be ready to assist. Besides, it's been a long time since my last 'hunt'." A few moments later, the turbolift came to a halt and Tannasg stepped outside. The deck was deserted. When he was running the scan, Tannasg also checked a map to find the exact location to the Yacht from the turbolift. He quickly turned right, and walked through the corridors... (reply ??)

Our Vanyssa needs our strength to combat this suggestion, send her your strength as much as you can, now! :: Lorenzo half-spat out his coffee when he heard the message from Kestra. Realising Vanyssa was in trouble, he wasted no time. He closed his eyes and concentrated. The world around him became a blur as he searched for Vanyssa's mind. Where was it...shadows were everywhere...there. A small glimmer of light. Lorenzo grimaced and pumped everything he had into stoking the small fire that represented Vanyssa's Psyche trying to escape the evil surrounding it. Lorenzo concentrated. He couldn't let the fire go out. He wouldn't. He sensed Katie and Jennah also trying to help this dwindling flame. Jennah's light was blinding, stronger than his or Katie's. It was unbelieveable. How she did it without being on the ship, Lorenzo didn't know, but he had no time to dwell on that thought.  Lorenzo could see that the Vanyssa flame was gaining strength. It was becoming more predominant, overtaking the darkness choking it. Out of the corner of his mind, he could sense that someone started to build upenergy for an attack on the suggestion to obliterate it for good. Kestra hit the suggestion with everything she had. Lorenzo's mind was forced away from Vanyssa's as the flame burst into an inferno of white light. He opened his eyes, he breathed heavily, but smiled. The combined strength of all the telepaths together had obliterated the alien force in Vanyssa. Lorenzo wasted no time in heading to her location to check that she was okay. (USS Nimitz- Near Brig- Ensign Lorenzo Salahali- ????) The force of the blow had sent Vanyssa into a faint. Kestra continued to monitor her as she walked into the brig area where Sash had already lowered the force field and had Vanyssa in his arms. Lorenzo sighed a long sigh of relief. Vanyssa looked as though she would recover, but if she came round soon, she would need someone to talk to. He was sure of it. He sighed again. It was going to be a hell of a day.  Stardate:2406.05.17 Mission : A Trip to Paradise Mission, Day 3 Stardate 2406.05.17 (USS Nimitz- Deck 21- CO- Captain Devan Sash- 0656) Sash could feel his concentration waining. The distractions from the others was killing his focus and he could see holes start to appear in hi mental shielding. Suddenly he felt another presence. An attack from another side? No he could tell it was a more friendly source. Kestra! His Kestra. The mental image of the holes inhis shielding disappeared and he felt stronger and more focused. He could see the smile on Vanyssa/Kestra's face disappear. she knew that she had him, and was now confused. Then something new happened. He could sense the confusion in Vanyssa/Kestra begin to increase and grow into frustration. Then he realized that Kestra must be attacking her directly. She was doing that and maintaining his own mental shield. It was too much for her. He managed to push her out of his mind with some effort, until she realized that he no longer wanted her help and withdrew. Sahs then saw several changes come over Vanyssa's face. This was his chance to reach her, while whatever had invaded her mind was occupied. "Nessa," he pleaded. "come on sweet heart, talk to Sash. Don't believe the lies that Troi has been feeding you. Your friends are fighting for you. But you have to want to come back. you have to fight from the inside too. Come on Nessa, damn you, fight for your life." He could sense that something big was about to happen. "Computer, release force field in juncture 36, deck 21." The force field went down just in time. Vanyssa suddenly fell and Sash caught her before she hit the ground. He gently lowered her and checked her vitals. "Sash to sickbay, I need a medical team on deck 21, now!"

While Dr. Fickett was still recovering from his bodily injuries, Kinkaid couldn’t help but reanalyze the medical data scans. The injuries that his patient received would have killed him, but with the quick thinking action Kinkaid was able to rush to the rescue and save his doctor’s life. The total adrenaline rush under that type of pressure brought Kinkaid a sense of purpose and a state of mind that anything is possible. Then a voice called out from the silence of sickbay’s communication console. It was Captain Sash. =^= “Sash to sickbay… I need a medical team on Deck 21, now!”=^= Kinkaid tapped his comm badge and responded. =^= “Kinkaid to Sash… The medical team ready to beam to Deck 21, Sir!” =^= Kinkaid assembled his team and their med packs were fully stocked with supplies needed for whatever they encounter on Deck 21.

Save a life! The transporter beam appeared and Kinkaid along with his medical team re-materialized posed for action. Kinkaid readied his medical tricorder when he saw Captain Sash kneeling next to Counselor Winters on the floor near the brig holding her in his arms hoping that she would come through and Ensign Salahali standing close by to his co-worker and friend using his thoughts to ease her mind. Lt. Kestra Troi was trying to keep Vanyssa stable and coherent long enough for the medical team’s arrival. (Reply Kestra, anyone) Kinkaid kneels down beside Vanyssa to begin the scans. The preliminary scans showed that there were minor injuries to her body, but a lot of neural distortions, perhaps damage to her brain’s neural pathways. Kinkaid thought to himself, ~”Damn, if I don’t act fast, her thoughts or someone else’s thoughts which were causing the severe trauma would kill her!”~ Kinkaid applied a hypospray to stabilize Vanyssa and then he looked up at the captain and said, “Sir, the counselor has serious damage to her neural pathways causing severe trauma and must be transported to sickbay immediately!” (Reply CO, anyone) “Computer, emergency transport.

(reply Kincaid) "Computer, restore command codes to only to command staff under the rank of Lt.(sg)." Kestra could understand the reasoning behind the fact that he did now want anyone of higher rank to be able to get control of the computer. "Devan, I can look after her till the Medical team arrives." She said as she knelt down beside them, "There is nothing wrong with her that a little rest could not cure. It was a difficult battle she and I waged just now against the suggestion that had been implanted." Kestra told the captain noticing a little sweat running down her cheek or was it a tear, she dared not determine. She watched as he lovingly tended Vanyssa and suddenly felt very out of place and a third wheel. She knew that Vanyssa would recover, so, since the medical team was on their way, she decided that instead of letting Vanyssa know that it was her that helped, she would just leave the two of them. "Captain, things are under control here, I am not needed any longer, so, by your leave, I will go see if I am needed elsewhere." She said to him as she stood up.

In her mind she rolled the thought that it was time for her to leave over and over. Then a thought came to her about what just happened, Jennah had helped and she was on the ship. Kestra knew that Vanyssa did not know she had managed to get on the ship, but, it had been fate that brought Jennah back without anyone knowing. ::Jennah you did good this morning for your mom, but, you need to make sure she knows you are on the ship. I will talk to her if needed to help you stay on the ship. Go to her in sick bay, be by her side.:: Kestra sent to Jennah. Kestra wondered if one of her kids would have had the strength to help as Jennah had this morning. Trish was older than Jennah and the twins were not even three years yet.

This only seemed to make Vanyssa more catatonic. "They are going to kill me!" She screamed, which came out rather hoarsely. "You are just trying to get me to tell you the secrets. I won't." She said, crying. "Sevant will rescue me." "That was...months ago," Lorenzo said. "What's the last thing you remember?" "Months?" She said, still confused. "I can't sense you!" She said, accusingly. "You are just like them." She said, not believing him. "This is gonna be difficult to explain..." Lorenzo said, scratching his neck. "You haven't...been yourself recently. Your mind was overtaken by some sort of alter-entity. With me so far?" "Alter entity?" She said, very confused. "Who, what?" (reply :-) "I don't know if I believe you." She said. "I guess I have to. "I last remember killing Kestra. I thought she was going to kill me too. I could see David standing there." She said, still very disoriented. "David is back on Earth." Vanyssa said, confidently. "Good. As I was saying, your mind was overtaken, and it was only after a combined effort by every telepath on the ship that you were freed from its control." Lorenzo said. "What? Who? Telepaths... Jennah!" She said, tears coming out of her eyes. "Jennah too. In fact she was the one who did most of the effort. If it weren't for her, the rest of us might not have managed." "I want to see Sash." She said urgently. "And Sevant. Please." She begged. "Everything's going to be fine. Just get some rest." Lorenzo said as he walked away from her bed. Vanyssa was so mad at this.impudent pup... for locking her down. She shrieked inside incoherently at the restrictions. He couldn't be right, could he? Who was he, anyways? She couldn't tell who they were or who anyone here was. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. If she was still in the alternate universe, she was going to have to conserve her strength to rescue Sash and Sevant and the rest. How had they gotten caught? She sighed and felt herself drifting off to sleep. (reply Lorenzo, any) (pb melinda.) Stardate:2406.05.17 Mission : A Trip to Paradise Mission, Day 3 Stardate 2406.05.17 (USS Nimitz- Sickbay - ACOUNS Lorenzo Salahali - 0715) Lorenzo stood by Vanyssa's bed as she began to come round. "Wh...at... ha...p..nd." she said slowly. Lorenzo had difficulty understanding her, but Bigwill administered a hypospray to ease the pain.  "What happened to me?" She asked, trying to get up and finding herself restrained down. She realized that she couldn't even shake her head. "Where am I?" She said, scared. "Please tell me Sevant got us out?" She said, not remembering the past couple of months at all. "Did Sash make it?" She asked. "It's okay Vanyssa, everything's fine. You're going to be alright. You're in sickbay." (Reply Vanyssa) "That was...months ago," Lorenzo said. "What's the last thing you remember?" (Reply Vanyssa) "This is gonna be difficult to explain..." Lorenzo said, scratching his neck. "You haven't...been yourself recently. Your mind was overtaken by some sort of alter-entity. With me so far?" (Reply Vanyssa) "Good. As I was saying, your mind was overtaken, and it was only after a combined effort by every telepath on the ship that you were freed from its control." Lorenzo said. (Reply Vanyssa) "Jennah too. In fact she was the one who did most of the effort. If it weren't for her, the rest of us might not have managed." (Reply Vanyssa). "Everything's going to be fine. Just get some rest." Lorenzo said as he walked away from her bed. "Salahali to Sash," Lorenzo said as he tapped his badge. (Reply Sash) "Commander Winters is conscious sir, she's going to be fine. Ensign Kinkaid is watching over her." (Reply Sash) "If you want, yes, I'm sure she'll be glad to see you." Lorenzo signed off and headed back to Vanyssa's bed. She was beginning to drift off to sleep. Good. She needed rest more than anything right now. (Reply Vanyssa, Sash, Kestra(If desired) ) (Posted By Adam:)) Stardate:2406.05.17 (USS Nimitz- Jeffries Tubes - Jennah Winters-Dark - 0725) Jennah knew that the jig was up and that so Someone was going to come find her before Kestra had sent her that message. Jennah couldn't go see Vanyssa right now, that would be wrong. She quickly packed her things and wondered where a safer place to hide would be. Kestra had said that she would intervene if needed, but Jennah didn't trust Kestra, because Vanyssa didn't trust kestra. She sighed and looked around the little nest she had set up. She hated the idea of moving, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. David had shown her several other places that weren't as ideal to hide, but would do. She wasn't coming out until they were far far away from Betazed. No matter what anyone said. She reached the place that she wanted to set up at, and quickly did so, settling in, then turning to her lessons that she had downloaded from the computer to a small PADD. She pulled the thermal quilt up over herself, and settled down on the pillows that she had brought, to read. She'd done her good dead for the day and it had almost gotten her caught. She sighed, wondering what she COULD have done differently, realizign nothing. Vanyssa needed her, and it was likely Vanyssa would have died if she hadn't helped. Jennah vowed to herself that she would go find this Sash that Vanyssa was so enamored with soon and discuss the possibility of her staying on the Nimitz legitimately with him. She grabbed her teddy bear and continued to read, oblivious to the danger the ship was in. (reply none) (pb melinda :-)
