XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Wakes up in the cell and see's another body:: CO: Captain?  Is that you?

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::Ewan slowly regains consciousness:: XO: Yes it's me, unfortunately

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::in the safe house, with the free members of the AT.::

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Come Councilor; let us find out who these strangers are.

Roler:
::sitting around the same table as the AT members::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Back in the safe house basically pacing the house.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Sitting at the table::

Roler:
All : All right... I'm running out of ideas...

Councilor Elron:
@::nods solemnly::

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::in the new safe house talking with the same children from before::

Roler:
All : As far as I know, the government is usually slow to respond to requests such as the one we made.. Even in normal times..

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::shakes his head to clear the cobwebs from his head::

Maquiel says:
@::walks slowly through the door into the jail and up to the cell containing the CO and XO::

Roler:
All : I'm afraid that we shouldn't expect much of that request... So.. Do you have any ideas?

Councilor Elron:
@Maquiel: We need to find out quickly and dispose of them.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  But they weren't slow to respond when we requested to see the Councilor.. We mentioned Federation and they jumped.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Stops beside Roler and leans against the table.::

Councilor Elron:
@::is standing behind Maquiel::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::sits back, considering their options.::  CTO:  We already used that idea, though, I doubt we could again.

Maquiel says:
@::stares at the XO who is closer to the door:: XO: Who are you

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::slowly gets up and walks towards the front of the cell:: 

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@ ::looks to the captain, then to the men worriedly as she hears the words " disposed of"::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Turns a bit and sees Russel:: CEO:  I'm just saying they were quick to jump on it.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  The key I think is that guy we saw on the screen.. the one with the book.

Roler:
CTO : So.. What are you thinking?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  Who was that guy we saw on the screen?

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Idiot, I have no desire to dispose of them... yet

Councilor Elron:
@::thinks the female looks more intelligent than the male...and may prove to be more useful.::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::looks at his captor:: Maquiel: Why do you have us in here and what is the charge?

Roler:
CTO : To be honest, I’m not sure..

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Yes, with the knowledge in that book he could be controlling the council.  The question is how to stop him.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  I've seen what it can do to people.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  He is not part of your counsel?  Could he be genetically altered like us?

Roler:
CTO : With the exodus of aliens from Hanthros prime, and the strict immigration laws into place right now, I have no idea how a non-Hanthrosian managed to get that close to the Council.

Maquiel says:
@CO: You will speak when spoken to, I asked your companion a question

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::as the conversation gets serious, he leaves the children to their game and moves closer to his shipmates::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  Unless he arrived before.

Roler:
CTO : I don't know... All i do know, is that he came into the political scene a few months ago...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  It’s the book.  Cmdr Farrell was almost killed over it.  ::Has an idea.::

Councilor Elron:
@::eyes the foreigners with icy distaste.::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::looks at his captor:: Maquiel: I am her superior

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::wonders why someone would be killed over a simple book::

Maquiel says:
@XO: Now, I asked you a question, Who Are You?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  I wish your Capt didn't make me give that sword back to the Artemis...  It could have been our get in to see the nut at the top card.

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel: I am Ryasha...I live in sector 5....  ::gives the cover information she was supplies by Roler::

Roler:
CTO : What do you mean? The Book?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Or it could have ended this mission as it began.

Maquiel says:
@CO: I care not who you think you are superior to, you are both inferior to me and I shall speak to whom I chose

Roler:
CTO : With it, we would not have passed through the security checkpoint when arriving..

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  It's a book from a secret society on Betazed..  Very dangerous.

Maquiel says:
@XO: Not who are you supposed to be, who are you really?

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::Ewan’s Scottish bullheadedness begins to show:: Maquiel: Delusions of grandeur I see

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  If we had known we could have said that we were taking it to the leader.  ::Frowns::

Councilor Elron:
@CO: Inferior to what? The slime on the floor?

Roler:
::looks puzzled:: CTO : How so?

Roler:
CTO : How can a book be dangerous?

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::wonders, what - get an infected paper cut?::

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Hit him

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  It's not the book, but the knowledge it holds that is dangerous.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  I personally haven't read it, I promised cmdr Farrell.  But I've taken great pains to protect the other copy we have.  Cmdr Russel is the best person to ask.  ::sees that he has responded::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::before he can be hit, Ewan falls to the floor and does a sweeping leg kick::

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::stretches as he continues to listen to the discussion::

Roler:
CEO : Which is?

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Shudders as she senses the evil power before her.  It must be him...he's the one's using the book for god knows what sort of evil...::

Councilor Elron:
@::idly wonders what the CO is kicking at.::

The CO is still not used to the moves on his new body.. HE fails his kick

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  Ways to employ telepathy as a weapon.

Councilor Elron:
@::drops the field long enough to grab the captain by the throat and toss him into the wall. Fastidiously dusts his hands off and steps back.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  And brainwashing it seems.

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::whispers:: damn this body

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::shocked... that is against everything his mother ever told him about Betazoid practices::

The CO’s breath fails for a second..

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@CO: Captain!  ::runs over:: You alright?

Councilor Elron:
@::really hates having to touch foreign scum::

Roler:
CEO : Telepathy? Brain washing?

Roler:
All : Are you suggesting... What are you suggesting?

Maquiel says:
@::points a long finger at the CO and starts uttering words the CO doesn't understand, causing images of death and destruction to suddenly appear in his mind::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@XO: Yes I'm fine, but they soon won't be when I get used to this body

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Looks hard at Roler::  Roler:  I think so.  ::Feels sorry for the woman before her.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  That the council is being controlled by this stranger.

Councilor Elron:
@::yawns with boredom::

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::sits down hard, wondering how you can stop someone using telepathy as a weapon.  Technology would be useless::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::Ewan uses a technique taught him by Star Fleet Intelligence that blocks the images::

Roler:
::throws hands in the air:: All : Great.. You mean this is all due to one man?

The CO fails in his attempt.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::for the first time he realizes how serious their situation may actually be::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Shouts into Maquiel's mind:: ~~~Maquiel: You!  You are Betazoid!~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  you know the way to fight Telepathy is with Telepathy.  I just wish we could get the Artemis here and get our hands on that book and weapon.   I admit we need Soral.

Maquiel says:
@~~~XO: Indeed... and so are you, now we are getting somewhere~~~

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  One man that most likely has incredibly strong telepathic abilities.  It may sound far-fetched, but believe me it's highly likely.

Roler:
CTO : Soral? The other book?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  No, I don't trust Soral.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::looks up::  CTO: If only we could get a message to them...

Councilor Elron:
@::sneers as the captain is targeted by Maquiel.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
All: I agree with Ms. Peters, we need that other book.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  Soral it could be said is to be the foremost authority.

Roler:
All : Well, i can get a message delivered to the Artemis...

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@~~~ Maquiel: So, you are the evil presence I could feel...every time I tried to reach outside this cell with my mind you were the one pushing me back in...~~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  I know I have the same qualms, but Hali trusts him.  I think it's time we need to trust her.

Maquiel says:
@CO: Not very pretty images are they, you don't like these nightmares, I can give you more, I can make all nightmares you've ever had in your entire life come flooding upon you at once.

Roler:
All : SO all you need to do is tell me what message you want delivered..

Roler:
All : ONly the return trip will take a few days..

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@Maquiel: I've seen worse, they mean nothing to me

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::perks up::  Roler: Really?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  If you can contact Topper with a code I give you, he will get the book and the sword....

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  I know Hali, she's as stubborn as a Klingon, but that doesn't make her always right.  I trust La'i in this situation.

Councilor Elron:
@::examines his nails for dirt from the foreigner.::

Maquiel says:
@~~~ XO: Now now, there is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it~~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  But with Soral here, we can watch him carefully.

Councilor Elron:
@::slams his fist into the CO's nose and once again steps back disdainfully.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
OPS: Christian, how strong is your telepathy?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  I don't want Soral here.  He could endanger the mission.

Roler:
CEO, CTO : The book, we could smuggle in.. The weapon.. I don't think so..

Councilor Elron:
@CO: Do not speak to your superiors in such a manner.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
CTO: Not very, except with my family... I'm only half Betazoid.

Maquiel says:
@CO: You are strong willed, you impress me, however I'm getting far more information from your friend, so for now...

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::shakes it off:: Elron: Is that all you got?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Ponders:: Roler:  The book is more important.. the weapon is a dream.

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Feel free to continually hit him until he either passes out or decides to be more cooperative

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@~~~Maquiel:  Yes there is power, and are those that are weak.  And let me tell you any fool who dares to use the knowledge of the Zodion is a weak minded fool that will fall completely under it's domination.  Do you dare to think you can control it!~~~  Ha!  ::Aloud:: It will control you... 

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
All: If what I've heard recently is true, the book will be more powerful than any sword.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
Roler: What if I could get the stuff here and beamed to the surface before anyone noticed?

Councilor Elron:
@::smiles grimly::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CSO:  And more dangerous to any who wields it.

Maquiel says:
@~~~ XO: Interesting... so you know of the Zodion then ~~~

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
CEO: Yes, but I'm not sure we have a choice sir.

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@~~~ Maquiel:  Where did you get it from?~~~

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::excited:: CTO: We could use a probe at high warp.  It might be able to get through the defenses before anyone could react.

Maquiel says:
@~~~ XO: I'm the one asking questions here, where did you hear of it? ~~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Cmdr what do you suggest.. The only other thing is an all out assault, which I don't think we could succeed in.

Councilor Elron:
@::turning very quickly, his foot lashes out and catches the captain in the ribs. ::

Councilor Elron:
@::Examines his foot for dirt::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::slams his fist on the table.::  CSO/CTO:  I don't care!  I saw what this book does to those who get near it!  I don't want it used!

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
OPS:  Risky and could reveal our position.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
::Sits back in the chair and waits for Russel to give a better suggestion::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::looks to Councilor Elron and glares::  Elron: Stop it...  ::Using what she can remember of the book she focuses all the anger she can muster and thrusts it towards the councilor.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Then all we got is our own imaginations.  How do we get into the holding cells and to this creature that is holding the Hanthrosian's hostage.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
CTO: No, not if the contents are beamed to an rendezvous point... if the probe were set to come out of warp in transporter range and beam immediately..  ::continues thinking it through, oblivious to the CEO's outburst::

The Councilor feels a small tug pulling him away from the CO.

Maquiel says:
@::uses his much sharper memory to block the power coming from the XO:: ~~~ XO: Even more interesting, not only do you know of the book, you've read it, most interesting~~~

Roler:
::watches the discussion:: All : Well?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  It's up to Cmdr Russel.

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@Maquiel: Would you please call off your dog, its quite bothersome

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Sighs, for she never got enough time to fully understand it's secrets.  If only she knew more she could do something more to help.::  

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::sighs::  Roler:  First, you need to have our ship informed of our progress, so they can warn Starfleet Command.

Councilor Elron:
@::feels the pull and for a second looks confused.::

Roler:
CEO : Certainly... But as I said, that will take a few days.. 4 or 5.

Maquiel says:
@~~~XO: You were the one with the book, Well I never got to thank you for "giving" it to me, perhaps a dose of pain will help ~~~

Councilor Elron:
@CO: Afraid, little man? You need the woman to protect you?

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@ ~~~Maquiel: Leave the captain unharmed, and I will be willing to tell you what you wish to know~~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Begins pacing around the room once again.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  It doesn't matter, they need to be warned.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::running over warp equations in his head::

Maquiel says:
@~~~ XO: But you have already told me all I need to know, and I didn't even have to force you ~~~

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@Elron: A captain is never afraid

Maquiel says:
@~~~ XO: You took all the fun right out of this interrogation ~~~

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Cmdr Russel, you have a moment?

Maquiel says:
@CO: And you must be the Captain of the Artemis

Councilor Elron:
@CO: You think not? Only the stupid never fear.

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@~~~ Maquiel: On the contrary, I am the only one who knows how to stop the book from consuming you...and if you don't listen to me it will most certainly make you it's servant~~~

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@Maquiel: Who?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::nods::  CTO:  Yes.  ::stands::

Roler:
CEO : Very well..

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@~~~Maquiel: Do you want to rule, or be ruled?~~~

Roler:
CEO : Very Well, I will make arrangements immediately..

Maquiel says:
@CO: Oh cut the routine, it is so obvious. First I get a report from Enforcer Kevlar that your group is not who you appear to be, then you two are arrested, then I get a report from the Minister of Science asking for your release as a thank you for information regarding Starfleet Activity

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Takes a deep breath.::  CEO:  I don't envy you this position Sir, but I really hate to say it but you may have no choice but to make the real hard decision... Use the same weapon against this creature that he is using on these people.  It makes me ill inside but fight fire with fire.  We may not have another option or much time.

Councilor Elron:
@::thinks idly that the little man is playing with fire.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::begins stroking his furry ear as he sinks into a chair, deep in thought::

Maquiel says:
@CO: And now... I find out that your companion is Betazoid AND has read the book, and you referred to yourself as her superior officer, she can be no one else but the Artemis's XO from whom I took this book in the first place, and you must be the captain.

Councilor Elron:
@::grins:: CO: "A captain is never afraid." Foolish mistake indeed.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Lieutenant, I was there when Hali found the book.  I saw the way she looked at it.  She almost lost herself that day.  You have no idea what we're dealing with here.

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel: Aren't you listening to me?  I said the book will make you it's servant!

Roler:
::thinks for a moment:: All : If what you say is true, I might be able to convince more people to join our cause..

Roler:
All : Maybe even try to contact some higher officials...

Maquiel says:
@XO: Fool, you think I'm going to listen to your petty warnings, the book bends its power to my will

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::scoffs:: Maquiel: Then you must be that jerk that doesn't know enough to know it's not nice to interfere with a life-forms development and to offend me

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  I understand more then you think.  Who do you think is hiding this book based on the lives of my teams.  I saw that weapon that Soral brought it scares the heck out of me.  If this creatures understands we have another copy it just may draw it out into the open.

Councilor Elron:
@::fist shoots out and hits the captain the mouth:: CO: Watch your mouth, dog.

Maquiel says:
@CO: Oh I intend to do more then offend you ::points at the CO and utters a word, causing all of the muscles in the CO's body to spasm uncontrollably and unbearable pain to course through his entire body::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel:  Throughout history the book has consumed all who have attempted to use it's secrets!  That's why it has been locked away in the most secret of places!  You will be no different, you will be consumed and destroyed by it's evil!  ...unless you want my help.

The CO's body spasms..

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::spits out blood:: Elron: If you touch me one more time, I'll snap your little neck

Councilor Elron:
@::watches idly::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Lieutenant, anyone who uses this knowledge will be consumed by it.  I understand your point, but I won't allow it to be used, and if we get out of this, I will have our copy destroyed.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Thinks a moment::  CEO:  You know that maybe enough... let this creature in charge know we have another copy of the book.... ::Looks at Roler::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel: Leave the captain alone and I’ll tell you all you need to know to stop the book from controlling...and how to stop the men who will come to take it from you...

On the news, at the safe house, continue to pour videos of unrest and fighting occurring all throughout the planet.

Councilor Elron:
@::wishes the female would shut up as she's giving him a headache.::

Maquiel says:
@XO: Your Help? that's rich, you can't even do one of its simplest spells without me blocking it easily.

Roler:
CTO : Yes?

Councilor Elron:
@::kicks the captain a few times while he is down.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  Please do see if you can round up supporters, but be careful who you contact.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler: Is there a way we can get word to this person regarding the other book?

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel: I was once consumed with it's evil, and freed myself.  Your right i don't know the spells of the book, but i know how to break its ability to consume it's reader.

Maquiel says:
@XO: You are weak, and stopping someone to take it from me? Obviously you don't know that too well, I took it from you in a matter of seconds, perhaps you would like to feel some of his pain ::points another finger at the XO and utters the word again::

Councilor Elron:
@Maquiel: You want him to remain alive?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  What if he decides to torture the Captain and Commander for information regarding the book then?

The XO's body spasms as well

Councilor Elron:
@::steps on the captain's face and pushes down::

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Yes Councilor, I have use for them, for now, perhaps I'll let you kill him later, or perhaps I should reserve that pleasure for myself

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  He will do it anyway.. I don't think our presence is not unknown here to be honest.

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Maquiel: If...you...kill....us....you will surely die by the books evil.  But before then...the Havriendor will kill you...unless you let us live...and accept my help...

Councilor Elron:
@Maquiel: As your wish as always.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::feels a sharp pain in his head::  Self: Ouch.. Headache?  ::shrugs it off an goes back to thinking out the details of his idea::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::gets up and goes after both Maquiel and Elron::

Still not able to control his motion very well, the CO gets up only to fall while trying to step forward.

Maquiel says:
@::Uses telekinesis to make the CO fly across the cell and slam his head against the wall::

The CO is thrown up from the floor and onto the wall

Councilor Elron:
@::listens to the satisfying crunch::

Maquiel says:
@CO: Fool, you honestly think you can get me, you are unarmed, I have all the power of the Zodion at my disposal, and Councilor Elron is heavily armed

Councilor Elron:
@::walks over and kicks him in the head::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Still spasming in pain::  Maquiel: you can feel it in you can't you.  It's evil presence...working it's way through your mind...slowly, ever so slowly it will gain further power over you...if you scan me you will sense that once the same evil resided in me...there is the proof I can help you...

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  Then maybe he already knows we have the book.

Roler:
All : Alright... So you want a message sent to the Artemis.. I’ll try to divulge the information you just gave me.. Maybe even to the press..

Councilor Elron:
@::is really getting bored::

Roler:
All : Anything else?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  So then let's offer it up and see what happens?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  How controlled is the press?

Maquiel says:
@::stops the pain for now:: XO: You just don't get it do you, you were lied to, there is no such thing as evil, no good, there is no right and wrong, only the weak and the strong

Councilor Elron:
@::slams his foot down on the CO's knee::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  Find any supporters you can, if they can get us close to this man...

Roler:
CTO : We can try and find out...

Maquiel says:
@XO: You are the weak, I am the strong.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  Also since the dynamics have changed, can you get us some more weapons...?

Councilor Elron:
@::decides he would like fish for dinner::

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::feeling the pain but not giving up:: Maquiel: You may win this one, but you'll never break me or break me down. I'm too well trained for you to get the best of me, I can assure you of that. You will not leave this planet alive

Roler:
::thinks for a second:: CTO : I thin that can be arranged..

Maquiel says:
@CO: Now why would I want to leave this planet, I OWN this planet

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
Roler:  Some dissenters within your military would be good too.  Easier to make up an assault force if need be.  ::Sighs and rubs her temples::

Roler:
CTO : As I said, with this new information I may get some more supporters to our cause.. Even within the military

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Nods and looks at Matt::

Maquiel says:
@CO: And it is you that will not leave this planet alive, you are alive now only because I wish you to be

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::nods::  Roler:  Do your best, we need all you can give us

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Her eyes roll into the back of her head from the pain.::  @Maquiel: Then if you won't accept my help you will surely die...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
OPS:  Christian we may need your telepathic powers even if you don't think they are great.  It just maybe enough to throw this guy up, especially if we can get into contact with Hali.

Roler:
::nods:: All : I will leave you then, to make arrangements...

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@Uh!  ::finally is released to the floor and lays there recovering::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
Roler:  Be careful.

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::startled from his thoughts::  CTO: I can't project anything, I would have to be touching him, and then I'm still not sure I could do much.  ::looks down for a moment the back up at his friends::  but I can try.

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::since they already know:: Maquiel: After this Star Fleet Officer is through with you, your own mother won't recognize you

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Goes and grabs a bottle of water.::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Starts cackling like a mad women.  She rolls over and drags her self across the dirt to the feet of Maquiel.::  Maquiel: And how do you suppose you will stop the Havriendor?  They will gut you like the power hungry pig you are!  ::Spits on him::

Maquiel says:
@CO: My mother is dead, I got rid of her because she was in the way of me gaining my power

Councilor Elron:
@::kicks the XO in the head::

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::gets quiet, realizing what he just said::

Councilor Elron:
@XO: Filthy creature.

Maquiel says:
@::Uses the telekinesis again to cause the spit to fly off of his body and back into the XO's mouth:: XO: The Havriendor are not going to be a problem, they already tried… and failed

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::As Elron kicks she bites his ankle and sinks her Feline fangs deep into his flesh::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
::Comes back and lays a hand on Matt's shoulder:: CEO:  Cmdr, please keep the other plan as a back up. Just incase we don't have a choice....or is there a way we can contact this secret society of Hali's.  have them deal with this guy?

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@Maquiel: You think I'm afraid of you? Think again haggis-breath

OPS Lt Christian Mades:
::thinks he may be in way over his head::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  I don't know, and I doubt they'd be very friendly with us considering how we left time last time we saw them...

Councilor Elron:
@::looks at the captain and wonders at the desperation of Starfleet right before he grabs him by the throat and throws him across the room yet again.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  But maybe they will consider this as a way of saying you are sorry?

Maquiel says:
@XO: The  fools weren't prepared to counter my power, I got rid of them

Maquiel says:
@XO: I'm sure they are still around somewhere, hiding like dogs with their tails between their legs

Councilor Elron:
@::looks down at his foot and roars as he grabs the filthy one by the hair and tosses her after her beloved captain.::

Councilor Elron:
@::hopes he doesn't get a disease from her filth.::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Hisses and meows loudly as she is tossed::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  I don't know how to contact them.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  We will have to use Soral I'm afraid. A good way to test his loyalty don't you think?

Councilor Elron:
@::thinks she might make a good pet for his children...when properly trained and neutered.::

Maquiel says:
@XO: You are still not convinced of my power

Maquiel says:
@XO: Perhaps we should play a little game, I wonder just how much pain you can endure before passing out ::again points the finger and utters the word, this time twice as loud, making the pain twice as strong::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  It would take too long to get him here...  And what if he's in league with this madman?  Our best bet is still through Roler's supporters.

Councilor Elron:
@::decides on a nice rlate pie for desert.::

Maquiel says:
@XO,CO: I rule this planet now, oh sure there was opposition, but they were nothing compared to my power, in fact, allow me to introduce you to my most fearsome opposition

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Maybe..... ::pauses for a moment::  We have time to test both plans.  It will take a few days anyway to get any word to the Artemis.  We have to anyway we don't know what the Capt or Hali has told their captors.  By the time Soral can mount anything against us we should be done.  If he is on the up and up, the Calvary rides in at the last moment.

Maquiel says:
@Elron: Councilor Elron, stand on your head

Councilor Elron:
@::stands on his head quite elegantly as decides on what wine to have with dinner.::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Her body screams at her.  Desperate she focuses what she can of her power on the evil presence within Maquiel, hoping that some way it will jolt him enough to stop the unbearable pain being thrust onto her.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
CTO:  And how do we know Soral would be of any use?  He's Vulcan, their telepathic powers require physical contact.

Maquiel is just too strong for Hali

Councilor Elron:
@::Stands::

Maquiel says:
@XO,CO: Oh the good Councilor was quite vocal in his distaste for me, he even tried to kill me, but you'll find I can be very persuasive

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
CEO: Unless...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
CEO:  Then we use that... get him close, but that is the backup.  We just need options and Soral whether we like him or not is an option.

Maquiel says:
@XO: Nice try, but perhaps instead of jolting me, I'll just double the pain ::utters the word again::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
@::Screams as she sees no way to stop him from torturing every cell in her body::

Councilor Elron:
@::hopes they are done with the garbage detail as he really needs to bathe away their filth.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
CEO: In ancient history, the Vulcans used to use telepathy as weapons also; they did not need physical contact for that.

Capt Ewan MacPherson-Quest:
@::keeps quiet biding his time::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::sighs, considering the Soral plan::

XO Cmdr Hali Farrell:
::lets loose a bloodcurdling scream that echoes through the entire dungeon::
