Summary:  
	Due to the fighting aboard the station, it has caught fire.  Fire in space, is a dangerous thing.  Eventually Monroe’s merry band makes it off the station, but they also take one of the Alliance people, Konbar.  In an explosion of air as there is a breach in the docking bay, the runabout is tumbled away from the Alliance vessel, which is keeping all other ships at bay while they are searched.  Konbar has set his commbadge to inform his people where he is at.
	With the alarms going off, Rose took Blue Diamond with her unconscious captain away and right into the Alliances waiting arms.  On the planet below, Knight learns that the search for him has begun to resume thanks to Rose’s effort in finding her friend.  If he is found…	

Time Lapse:
     Five minutes, except for Knight

Mission Facts:
•	The station is pretty much useless now.
•	In the explosion of air from the station, the runabout was blown away and ignored as debris by the Alliance vessel.
•	Technically, those last to leave the station, probably have smoke inhalation problems as well as poisons in their system from the gasses.
•	Varesh is not in good shape, but neither is he knocking on deaths door.  He should be patched up enough by the start of next mission.
•	It has been decided that the planet below is Altira V
•	The Blue Diamond will be captured and the two will be taken down to Altira V for questioning.  Caelan was knocked out.
•	Lília’s log will detail the prison planet.
•	The planet should have the normal things needed to keep prisoners from escaping and others from helping them to escape.

Announcements:
•	Please catch up missing logs for January
•	Good character building
•	Mission canceled for next week 2/16

Last mission on the Nighthawk:

In her continued side search for Aaron and the others, Rose had inadvertently alerted authorities that someone was looking for him.  In practically no time, a military vessel had arrived, located the location of the individual involved and headed to collect her.  Trigger had no intention of giving up his Rose.

But why did Monroe want to help Trigger, a man who had almost got him killed in the past and had already turned down his request for him to join him and the others in their cause? He needed his help and wanted his revenge of the man.  What was the old saying, have your cake and eat it too?  And so he fired upon the alliance, ensuring himself a place in their black book.

On Monroe's shuttle, Tulpen prepared for sudden take off while letting her curiosity roam as she searched Monroe's data base.  She trusted no one on this venture except perhaps Varesh's hatred of the alliance. She and Varesh had been able to bring Jackson over to their side, but was it the right choice for him?

Jackson's situation as a slave gave him advantages to help others that were unsuspected, such as helping Tulpen.  Who would take that on now?  Was this the right move for him?  He had until the shuttle took off to change his mind.  There were definite advantages to living.

Veresh believed that fighting for freedom was better then being a slave.  For some, that was true.  For others, give them food, a place to lay their head and they did not care.  Convincing slaves to revolt is not as easy as many believed… after all, death was the one thing one could not come back from. But for Veresh, there was no other alternative and he would fight to the bitter end.  Standing just outside the shuttle, he listened to the fighting going on in the next bay over, itching to join in, not caring what it was that Monroe was into.  And he was about to get his wish…

On Altira V, trying to escape did not just touch upon you, but all the prisoners there, as they were brutally reminded by viewing the shameful condition of one of their fellow inmates.  That was followed with the information that there would be no meal tonight, but tomorrows would include the man who had failed to escape. Knight and his friend took one day at a time.  For them, boredom would be considered a good thing. But remaining till the prison took its toll was not their intention.  And so in whispers each evening, Knight dreaming of just simple privacy, they looked at their options.  And at each rising, they awaited an opportunity, just like now...

Sid Monroe: Stardate 10802.09: I am in the middle of a fire fight, to save Caelen Trigger, a name I have hated for a year, after I save him I will go and find this Aaron Knight I have heard that could be one person I need

Aaron Knight says:
@::back near their bunks, both Aaron and Aidan know that they're not about to eat their meals this night::
Christina Tulpen says:
::sitting at the navigator's spot next to the pilot, she is looking for a safe route out of the station, while her mind is absorbing any piece of intelligence she comes across::
Konbor says:
::Heard firing behind him.::
Konbor says:
Self: What is that?
Varesh says:
::strains to hear what's going on and clutches the rifle closer::
 
ACTION: Beside Konbor, one of his men goes down.

Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Aidan, I can go without food for tonight.  But if you feel that you need to eat, I won't think anything of it.
Konbor says:
::Pulled a hand weapon instantly, and walk cautious over to where the firing came from.::
Konbor says:
All: Who is there? Put your weapon down, and put your hands in the air. NOW!
 
@ACTION: 48 hours since they last ate, the prisoners of Altira V are both hungry and feeling light headed.

Aidan says:
@Aaron:  You're kidding, right?  There's absolutely no way I'm going to eat that.
 Sid Monroe says:
Yells; That is if I don't kill you first  ::Fires at the voice::
 
ACTION: The stations fire alarms ring loudly through the station.

Aaron Knight says:
@::feeling a bit light-headed, he motions for Aidan to come to his bunk::  Aidan:  I've got a little bit of something to eat that I've hidden away.  Watch for anyone coming, and I'll get it.
Konbor says:
::Ducks instantly, as he feels someone is going to shoot. Moves slowly backwards and drops something into the dark. And wait for the person to come out.::
Varesh says:
~~~SId: You need help back there?~~~
Konbor says:
::Changes phaser setup to full-spray.::
Aidan says:
@::keeps a lookout as Aaron grabs his stash of food::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks around to his left, and spots a cargo container::
 Sid Monroe says:
~~~Varesh: Well it is getting interesting here, but sure.~~~
Varesh says:
::turns to shout back into the shuttle:: Gary/Tulpen: I'm going to check up on Sid. Be ready for us. ::sprints towards the doors and connecting corridor::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Takes a deep breath and runs for the cargo container::
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: I found a route out which we should be able to use unless they changed the base configuration. Either way we are ready

ACTION: Ships all around the station undock as quickly as they can.

Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: All set?
Konbor says:
::Sees someone run and hide behind a cargo container. But keeps a low profile.::
Gary Jackson says:
::On the shuttle, trying to get used to the systems on board:: Christina: Just about...
Varesh says:
::slides along the wall just outside the shuttle bay Sid is in, peeking around the door for a moment to get the lay of the situation::
Aaron Knight says:
@::crawls under his bunk and opens a makeshift hatch that is inside the wall and grabs something that they could eat::
 
ACTION: The Alliance ship orders all ships to remain in the area on penalty of automatic destruction should they try anything else.

Varesh says:
~~~Sid: I'm outside the doors.~~~
Brianna Rose says:
:: As time passes and she hears nothing, she positions herself to slide down the narrow shaft.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: I wish I knew what is happening outside but we are completely cut off.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Checks the disruptor charge:: Yells: Hey guard, I can make it worth your while if you let me kill you.
Christina Tulpen says:
Self: I am starting to doubt this Monroe is capable of leaving this station, let alone Earth
Aaron Knight says:
@::pulls himself out from under the bunk and tells Aidan to sit on the bunk, before slipping him something::  Aidan:  Here, I know it's not much, but it is full of protein.
Varesh says:
::snickers at the voice from inside and hunkers down, knowing all attention is on Sid, peering around the door again, taking a bead on the guards he can see... those still alive that is.::
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods:: Christina: I know what you mean.. ::Sighs as he struggles with some of the control systems::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Slipping out, she sees Caelan lying still on the floor and with a gasp, moves to get him.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: we could start the engines while still in the bay. That would cause some fireworks
 
ACTION: The shuttle is standing hot, ready to leave.  Across the intercom, they hear the order from the Alliance vessel.

Varesh says:
::sets the rifle for a wide angle dispersion and takes aim::
Konbor says:
::Thinks and does not know what to think about it.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Peeks across the way:: Yells: So?  What do you think of my offer?
Varesh says:
::squeezes the trigger with a smile of satisfaction, shooting at those he can see from the doors::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: What exactly do they mean by automatic destruction?
Konbor says:
Sid Monroe: Well, if you intend to kill me, you have to get over here. ::Meanwhile shooting at the person.::
Varesh says:
~~~Sid: The cavalry is here.~~~
Brianna Rose says:
:: Finding him still alive, she considers getting out of this place the wiser course.  Leaving him safe, she heads for the helm and starts the ship up.::
Aaron Knight says:
@::both Aaron and Aidan finish what they had.....still feeling a bit hungry, but enough to get them through until the next meal::
Gary Jackson says:
::Shrugs:: Christina: I don't know.. I could venture a guess, but it would probably be the same as yours... And I hope we'd guess wrong...
 
ACTION: Orders are coming through to Jackson’s passenger ship but no one is answering it.  The crew looks about for their captain, wondering where he has gone.

Konbor says:
Self: Grrrrr....
 Sid Monroe says:
Yells: No the point is you let me shoot you and I give you money.
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: You don't know how Alliance stations work?
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: I thought your life was understanding Alliance flight operations
 
ACTION: A few of the crew quickly go in search of Jackson.

Konbor says:
Sid Monroe: WHAT? YOU want to kill me, and then I get money? What section are you from? What are your intentions?
Brianna Rose says:
:: Begins the procedure to undock.::
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods:: Christina: Flight, yes.. I spend most of my time in a passenger ferry, cruising quietly through space... And whenever I am at stations, things are fairly quiet.. At least, compared to what I see now...

ACTION: Three men went down under Varesh while Monroe converses with Konbor.

Varesh says:
::bolts through the doors to a stack of containers nearby, to get a better shot at the two he missed::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Automated destruction means they either put explosives on the bay, on the ship or will fire as soon as we leave

ACTION: The fire spreads quickly through the station, filling it with toxic smoke and heat.

Gary Jackson says:
::Raises his eyebrows:: Christina: That's not good...
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Well, looks like dinner is over for everyone.  You going to be able to make it until tomorrow morning?
 Sid Monroe says:
:: Checks his charge in the disruptor gun:: Yells: I am from no section, I am a more of a g  My intention is to get to that shuttle with Brianna Rose in.  She has something I want.
Varesh says:
~~~Sid: We'd better wrap this up. Things are going downhill.~~~
Brianna Rose says:
:: Takes the Blue Diamond away from the station to join the others milling about, hoping to be relatively inconspicuous.::
Varesh says:
::aims at the one guard on the opposite side of the bay and shoots::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: The shuttle's sensors are reading fire and toxic smoke throughout the ship. We have to leave ::looks for a button to contact Monroe::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: This seems to be a com link ... ::presses it::
Konbor says:
::Thinks fast. A dead Konbor is of no good use. Maybe it is better to offer my service, and fiddle out more things. A living Konbor has a lot value.::
Aidan says:
@Aaron:  I'll be fine.  Just make sure you'll be alright as well.  ::smiles::
 
ACTION: Varesh takes down one guard, but his partner strikes him in the side.  Pain explodes throughout him.

Christina Tulpen says:
*Monroe*: Tulpen here. If you don't get yourself back to your shuttle in 5 minutes, you never will. The station is on fire
Christina Tulpen says:
*Monroe*: Either the smoke or the heat will kill you. Either way, I am leaving with whoever is inside in 4 minutes
Varesh says:
::manages not scream at the pain, but a low moan escapes from his lips.:: Sid: Hey! Get it over and done with. I plan on leaving this place in one piece! ::hopes his voice distracts the remaining guards::
 Sid Monroe says:
Yells: You hear that?  Either you join me or I kill you your choice.
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  Let's just make sure we conserve our energy and not do too much tonight.  I'm sure we'll both come out of this okay.
Konbor says:
Sid Monroe: Hey! What is in it, if I offer you my services?
 
ACTION: Self preservation, all the alliance soldiers quickly begin to make their way off the station.

Konbor says:
::Standing up. putting the phaser in the holster.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Just three minutes and we are out. We will have to blast through the doors, but they don't seem that heavy
Konbor says:
::Hands in the air and walking over to Sid Monroe.:: Sid Monroe: Monroe is the name? Mine is Konbor.
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods, trying to find weapons control:: Christina: I hope these are the weapons... ::Takes a closer look at the symbols::
 
ACTION: A scream of overheated metal can be heard.  Breathing becomes almost impossible on the station.

Aidan says:
@Aaron:  No doubt.  Our will to survive and escape is more than a match for these guards and this place.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Peeks up:: Konbor: Well for one let's get out of here.  ::Runs over to Varesh:: Varesh: Let's get out of here.
 
ACTION: As the systems become fried, the alarms are suddenly cut off and nothing is left to hear but the dying station.

Varesh says:
::peers over the edge of the container:: Sid: Come on you motherless idiot. ::scrambles to his feet, ignoring the pain for a moment, almost dropping again as the pain hits him like a physical blow::

ACTION: Varesh, Monroe and Konbor can barely breath.  Sweat soaks their clothes.

Konbor says:
::Runs behind Monroe. Wondering that he is still alive.::
Varesh says:
::between gasps:: Sid: If you get me killed, I will haunt you forever, do you hear?
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: One more minute .....
Gary Jackson says:
::Sees they are getting close to the point of no return and starts powering up the engines to take them out::
 Sid Monroe says:
Varesh: I take that as a compliment.  ::Struggles back to the shuttle::
Christina Tulpen says:
*Monroe*: Less than a minute
Varesh says:
Sid: Wait til you hear me cursing you, then we'll see. ::mutters a choice phrase under his breath for good measure::
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Be sure to fire those engines as soon as the backdoor is closed
 Sid Monroe says:
::Stumbles back to the shuttlebay::
 
ACTION: The station shudders as it begins to melt into itself in certain sections.  However it does not last long in some areas as bulkheads in place, the air escapes, killing the fire.
 
Sid Monroe says:
::Sees the back of his runabout and lunges towards it::
Varesh says:
::manages to get to the shuttlebay and almost to the shuttle before dropping to the deck, flat on his face::
 
ACTION: The alliance vessel begins a search of the vessels in the area.  One tries to escape and is fired upon, reducing it to smelt.

Konbor says:
::Reaches the shuttle as last.::
 
@ ACTION: A shadow slips into the end barrack.
 
Sid Monroe says:
::Does a side roll and slams into the wall::
Varesh says:
::stumbles to his feet and scrambles into the shuttle, dropping again::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Not quite sure what to do, she finally moves to attend Caelan, muttering::  You had better not die on me.
Christina Tulpen says:
::closes the door when Monroe is inside:: Gary: Go go go

ACTION: A breach occurs in the bay and suddenly everything is pulled out with great force, including Monroe's vessel.

Aaron Knight says:
@::sits forward and puts a finger in front of his lips to let Aidan know to be quiet::
Christina Tulpen says:
::shouts to the back:: Monroe/Varesh: You almost missed the boat! They already fired on a ship that attempted to leave, but hopefully they are too damaged to attack us
Christina Tulpen says:
::is stopped in mid-sentence as she is thrown upwards, side-ways...every where::

@ ACTION: As quietly as he can, a man makes his way to Knight.

Aaron Knight says:
@::stands up, sensing someone approaching and prepares to defend himself::
Varesh says:
::gets bounced around, his side even worse that it was before::
Gary Jackson says:
::Gets thrown about by the sudden breach in the station's hull::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Gets slammed into the back of the shuttle::
Konbor says:
::Feels the shaking of the shuttle as they leave. And thinks about what would have happened, if he had not given up.::

ACTION: The Alliance vessel seeing a few ships being imploded away from the station, ignores them and focuses them on those in their sight to finish their search.

Konbor says:
::Was able had hold on to the chair after the big slamming. Stood up, and gave Monroe a hand to get him up again.::
Varesh says:
All: Someone stabilize this dratted shuttle! ::meets the bulkhead with a thump::
Christina Tulpen says:
::holds to her chair as the G forces still pull her about, the ship could really use new inertial dampeners::
Wolfson says:
@ :: Under his breath::  Knight: Aaron...?
Gary Jackson says:
::Slowly comes back to his feet and takes a seat at the console again, trying to get the shuttle's flight stabilized::
 
ACTION: Ships internal dampeners kick in.

Aaron Knight says:
@::tries to focus his senses on who the man is::  Wolfson:  Who wants to know?
Varesh says:
::lies groaning on the deck:: Sid: I am so kicking your ass when I'm able to do so. ::curls onto his good side::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Reaches up then gets slammed to the floor::
Wolfson says:
@ :: grumbles::  Knight: I don't have time for this.  I just wanted to let you know, there is a search out for you.
Konbor says:
::Slammed to the floor as well as he tried to help Monroe, get up.::
Aaron Knight says:
@Wolfson:  I'm sure there's a lot of people out to get me....tell me something I don't know.
 Sid Monroe says:
Varesh: Not if I kick your first.  ::Struggles to get up::
  Aidan says:
@::remains quiet and tries to listen::
Wolfson says:
@ Knight: Yea... but I overhead someone is searching from you... some one called Rose.
Varesh says:
Sid: I can take you with both arms behind my back, but not with a disruptor wound in my side. I hope your ship has a decent sickbay. I'll have to patch myself up. ::sees black encroaching the edges of his vision::
Gary Jackson says:
::Attempts to slow the ship down to a more controllable speed:: Christina: Almost got it.. I think...
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Good job!
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: We have to get out of here. There is a planet below, my suggestion is we land and regroup there
 
ACTION: The ship is back in control of its crew, and far past the Alliance vessel... and the Blue Diamond.

Aaron Knight says:
@::is somewhat surprised::  Wolfson:  Just who are you and where did you hear this?  If you're messing with me, I'll kill you here and now.
Christina Tulpen says:
::yells to the back all that stuff::
Wolfson says:
@ :: curses::  Knight: So involved in your own little world, you forget one of your own people?  Fine... but you still owe me one.  And good luck finding your Rose.  I heard they sent a contingent out to get her.  Don't know who you did what to, but I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.  :: with that said, turns to leave.::
Aaron Knight says:
@::senses that the man is gone and he sits down in his bunk and looks at Aidan::
Aidan says:
@Aaron:  Did you know who that was?  Who's this Rose he was talking about?
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Well, Monroe isn't saying anything. Shall we make it for the planet?
Brianna Rose says:
# Trigger:  Hey, wake up, we got trouble... big trouble.  What do you want me to do?
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods, initiating the course change:: Christina: Yeah... Here we go...
Varesh says:
::just lies on the deck, curled up and trying not to pass out from the pain:: Sid: Do you have a medkit on this rust bucket? ::his voice is ragged with the pain::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Laughs:: Varesh: Ha is that all you have got?  I can take you out with both arms and both legs tied up.
Konbor says:
::Checks equipment. looks for an emergency beacon.::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Slides to a seat and pulls out a med kit from under it::
 
ACTION: The runabout heads down for the planet.

Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  I'm not really sure who that was.....but I have my suspicions.  As for Rose, we were both onboard that vessel I told you about earlier.....you know, the one where I broke the guys nose.
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: They might be looking for us, you need to find a hidden place, perhaps on the night side
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods:: Christina: Preferably mountainous area, right? Maybe a cave?
Varesh says:
::Tries to make an appropriate response but settles for sending Sid a mental image of him being body-slammed by Varesh::
Konbor says:
All: Can I help in anyway? Now that I am your ally?
Christina Tulpen says:
Gary: Anywhere you can safely land
Aaron Knight says:
@Aidan:  You have to understand, I try to keep my Betazoid attributes down to the barest minimum.....don't want to take a chance on being caught doing what I do.
Brianna Rose says:
# ::Hearing the comm to prepare to be boarded, she punches Caelan hard to wake up::  Trigger: Get up you lug!  I am sure it was something you did to bring all this about... wake up... :: quietly::  please...
Konbor says:
::Finds the beacon, puts it behind something and actives it without being seen. Hopefully the alliance picks up the signal.::
 
ACTION: Konbor's comm badge sends out a signal to his vessel.
