<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin: The Beginning of the End....Part 1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::running at top speed to try and exit Deleah::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Hatches and doors slam shut in front of Modalis, corralling her  in the ship.. One door remains opened.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO_Lt_Lee> :: falls into step beside the CMO::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
*XO* Modalis to A’an, we're in great danger - ::stops as she sees the doors close:: Self: No!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::On his way to the area the captain was abducted from:: CTO: Let's have a look at the lounge the captain was last seen in and then work our way around from there.
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Suder falls to the floor grabbing her head. Images of Modalis in trouble flash through her mind.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::takes a step back and looks around her:: Deleah: Deleah, you have to let me free.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO_Lt_Lee> :: trots along:: CMO; It seems like the thing to do. :: squints around her, assessing the terrain::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: I don't have to do no such thing. You are here to hurt me, keep me from my mission.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Checks his PADD with a map of the area:: Self: Ok, left here.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO_Lt_Lee> CMO: Lt. Have you any formal tactical training? :: touches the phaser at her side::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: A shot rings out narrowly missing the CTO.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Notices an alarm coming from his tricorder:: *Nurse*: Check on Commander Suder please.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO_Lt_Lee> ::Dives, dragging the CMO with her::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Of course I d... ::falls to the ground with the CTO::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::working it all out in her head:: Deleah: You were behind this all along. You're the link to the enemy.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> ::Walks over to Suder:: CIV: Are you ok? ::bends down to her::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: No you are the enemy. I'm just trying to protect. ::Speaking as if unsure:: Don't lie to me.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: Stay Down! :: rolls onto her stomach, examining the direction the shot came in::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
COM: This is Lieutenant Modalis to anyone from the Seleya who can hear me. I'm trapped inside Deleah. She's the link to the enemy she was referring to. Please help me!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> ::Starts to scan Kesh::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Several Lionets file by the CMO and CTO.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: has head him hands, trying to make sense of all the stuff flooding into her mind:: Nurse: Shhh!
 
Arlene:
ACTION: The lights go off on Deleah and the life support goes down to 50%.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::runs back to the bridge::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: grabs CMO by the collar and runs::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> *CMO*: Sir, Suder appears to be having a nightmare of some kind, do you want me to give her the medicine you laid out for her?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Runs after the CTO:: CTO: They're supposed to be under our command!
 
Arlene:
ACTION: An unconscious Capt is being dragged behind the Lionet group.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: looks up, panicked:: Self: Modalis...
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
*Nurse*: Is she saying anything?
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::enters the bridge, almost panicked, and starts looking around wildly::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: Shut up and run! :: dives behind a building and looks around, assessing the situation :: CMO: I think we need to get back to Deleah
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: whimpers in terror:: Self: She's gonna die and.. and... Oh no...
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: Good you are where I want you. I want you to look at something...a dairy of my travels shall we say. From the first day I met the Federation. ::The view screen fills with images... starting with Bolitho.::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Get back to Deleah? They might be in control of the landing field.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::tries to ignore the images, looking at consoles::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: You wanna stay here? ::Glances over at him::

Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Notices she is not paying attention. Darkens all consoles except the viewscreen. The room is dark like a movie theatre.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> *CMO*: Something about your counsellor, and danger.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Not really. So the landing field it is then.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: holds her phaser rifle tightly and hands a hand phaser over to the CMO:: CMO: Ready? :: glances around the corner::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: The nurse I have with Suder seems to think that Modalis might be in some kind of danger... Yes, ready. ::adjusts the phaser and grips it tightly waiting for the CTO to make a move::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::clenches her fists together and lifts them above her head:: Deleah: I trusted you. We all trusted you.... ::smashes her fists down on a console::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: blinks, aims:: CMO: Run for that building there and then cover me... Got it?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::A slight scream erupts from the ship. She lets out an electric shock at Modalis::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::is thrown across the bridge and slams into the wall::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Continues with her movie::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Sure. ::Adjusts his phaser for a slightly wider beam::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: gasps as Modalis is hit with a bolt of electricity::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: Go! :: aims and gives him cover fire::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Runs towards the building phaser in hand::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Lionets hearing the fire, turn and hit the ground. They begin firing.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::struggles to get up and approaches another console::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: keeps firing 'til CMO makes it over::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> ::Decides to give Suder her medication:: CIV: I'm going to give you something to help you relax a little.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Ducks behind some crates by the building he ran to and takes aim::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Two Lionets fall to the ground. Dead.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: looks over at CMO, nods for him to start covering her and charges like a dog on fire::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::smashes another console::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Starts firing at the group of lionets::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Lets out a roar... Sparks fly all over the bridge.::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::shields her face from the sparks::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: lashes out:: Nurse: No! Medication's the last thing I... :: pauses:: I have to help her... :: gets up to leave::

Arlene:
ACTION: The CMO and CTO are safely behind the building.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Fires at a Lionet who just raised his head above cover::
 
Arlene:
<Lionet> ::drops to the ground.::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO>:: makes it over to the CMO:: CMO: You OK, doc? :: grins::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: I'm fine, yourself? Any injuries?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Panic sets in, starts becoming confused... lights blink all over the ship.::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::takes one of the shards of console and grips it in her hand:: Deleah: Return our crewmates.
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: NO!!!! ::Screams:: YOU WANT TO KILL ME!
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: shakes head:: CMO: The next building over should lead us right to the landing site. Try to make it in one go, ok? :: hefts her rifle, looking like she's really enjoying herself::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::approaches one of the columns:: Deleah: Return our crew and I will turn you over to the authorities.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Takes out a standard tricorder he brought with him and begins to scan the area:: CTO: Yes, but hold on a second.
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Sobs:: CNS: You lie! I need.....need.....
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: about to go charging out of the medical bay, but is 'treated' to another flash and almost crumbles to the floor::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: What do you need?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> ::Runs over to Suder and steadies her::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: I..... I.....don't......know......
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: looks at him:: CMO: What?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: That group of Lionets over there seem to have a human with them, might be the Captain.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: Release our crewmates!
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: thinks:: CMO: How many of them?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Screams once more, but being weak, she inadvertently let's go of her hostages.::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Four of them.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: holds her head, breathing heavily, trying to stop the mess that her brain has become. Eyes closed tightly::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: Given the current situation :: glances behind her, to make sure no-one's sneaking up on them:: I suspect diplomacy won't be an option. Are the outside, or in a building?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> ::Worried about Suder and reaches for the hypo again:: CIV: You're safe here.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: grits teeth:: Nurse: That's what they said when they did this! :: hasn't opened eyes:: Keep that hypo away from me!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Out in the open, the same guys we were shooting at before.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> CIV: Did what? ::hesitates a little::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: Suddenly Deleah just shuts down.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: nods and peeks 'round the corner:: CMO: think you can shot straight enough not to hit the Captain?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: I shot straight enough to hit that guy over there. ::Points at a Lionet in the distance::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::looks around her:: Deleah: Deleah?
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: Monkeys on typewriters, Lt, monkeys on typewriters... :: licks her lips and gets ready to pick off one or two of them to even the number out::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: Deleah, talk to me!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Riiight...
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Fails to see the link between Shakespeare and him shooting straight::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: can barely see them:: CMO: Can you make it over to that wall? Would give you a better direction to fire from.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: I can try, give me a big enough distraction?
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: shakes head:: CMO: If they haven't seen us, I don’t want them aware of our position. Just leg it, and if I see any of them noticing you, I'll cover then.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Ok, I'll give it a shot. ::Heads for the position they agreed on::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
:: seems to have regained control, looks around as if with new eyes.: Self: this is getting too weird... :: clears her throat and stands up::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::starts walking through the corridors, trying to find a sign of life::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Runs a bit faster and ducks behind cover::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: aims at the Lionet sniper-like::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
<Nurse_Ilya> CIV: You ok?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Takes aim at the Lionet closest to his position and waits for the CTO to start shooting::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::enters the engineering sector and notices lights flickering:: Deleah, talk to me.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: taps Comm. badge:: *CMO*: Try to take out the one of the far left. I'll go for the others. On three...
 
Arlene:
ACTION: There is still no answer from Deleah.

CMO LtJg Atreides:
*CTO*: Understood.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
*CMO*: One.. Two... Three... :: aims and fires::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Fires at the CTO's command::
 
Arlene:
ACTION: The last of the Lionets fall to the ground.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::looks around and sees a tank of gloop::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: breaths:: *CMO*: Any more on your tricorder, there?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Takes a scan:: *CTO*: That took care of them.
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: searches through the rifle's sight, spots the CO and smiles, jokingly thinking... killing him'd really move her up a notch on the command ladder::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: What is this? Is this your blood?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Shudders weakly. responds in a whisper.:: CNS: Yes........
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: moves out, signalling for CMO to do likewise and makes her way over to CO::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: Is it supposed to be black?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Follows the CTO over to the CO's position::
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Whimpers but doesn't reply.::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: crouches down beside him, eyes keeping an eye out for Lionet, one hand holding the rifle, other feeling for a pulse::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::looks around at the wires leading in and out of the tank, and notices one is not connected to anything else::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Bends down next to the CO and starts taking a reading, with his medical tricorder this time::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> CMO: See to him, doc. :: stands up and does a 360::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::kicks the wire::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Fumbles around in his med kit for a hypo and injects the CO to take down the bruising::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: tries to hail the CNS:: *CNS*: Lee to Modalis. Come in...
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Got any of your staff around who could bring him back to the med area?
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
*CTO* Modalis here! You've got to help me. I'm trapped inside Deleah!
 
Arlene:
ACTION: A clear liquid comes from the wire...the black goop starts to simmer.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: Deleah, can you hear me?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Whimpering.:: CNS: Helllp meee!
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: Pain....much pain....
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: Deleah! What is it? What do I need to do?
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> *CNS*: You may be on your own, Counsellor. Myself and the Doc have located the Captain, but he's unconscious. We're on our way to you now, but we'll have to carry him. Hold in there.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Wouldn't want him back in the hands of the Lionets for a while just in case.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
*CTO* Acknowledged.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: Carry? ::Looks at the CO, tries to estimate his weight before throwing him over his shoulders:: CTO: Lead the way?
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> ::Almost breathless:; CNS: Help me.... wire.....
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
Deleah: I don't know what I have to do!
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
<CTO> :: take the CMO‘s tricorder, to scan for anyone they may have missed.:: CMO: Take it slow and easy with him... ready?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CTO: Sure.
 
Arlene:
<Deleah> CNS: Need injection.... Lionet give me injections... ::Shudders, the whole ship knocking the CNS to the ground.::
