Summary:  
Now that Monroe has his crew, he must work things out with them on following his plan in their part of the rebellion.  However, the crew is not happy with how he is miserly handing out information and they question whether or not they should follow him. 

Time Lapse:
    2 weeks

Mission Facts:
•	We will start the mission dropping out of warp just outside the sol system.

Announcements:
•	We will still be meeting on euro time this weekend.
•	My apologize for getting this out so late.
•	Please do not forget to post logs.

Last time on the Nighthawk:

As the nights on Altira V quickly cooled down, those within the prison compounds blood heated up to a fever pitch as either fate or pure luck kicked in.  Eventually everyone found their way to the vessel Varesh and Jackson had commandeered; some with battle wounds to show for their efforts.

But Monroe and his team, along with Knight and his trio were not the only ones who were desperate to escape this prison world.  The prisoners added to the mayhem, leading soldiers into the night to follow them; some will make it, some will not. And some managed to make their way onto the shuttle with the others.

Tulpen had been hit by the blast that had taken out the control center.  With Monroe's help, she made it onto the shuttle where Varesh took care of her wounds.  Later, with his help, Rose would help her to her quarters for privacy. 

But as Tulpen needed some privacy, so did Rose as everything that had happened in such a short time, now that there was time to think, hit her.  And so she found a small corner in one of the conduits to curl up and contemplate what she had accidentally done and what next to do.

Knight and Aidan also needed patching up; Aaron from his beating and Aidan from weapons fire.  Neither trusts anyone but themselves at this point, other then Aaron trusting Rose.  They have decided to bunk together, have rearranged their quarters to look nothing like barracks, cleaned themselves up and have acquired some whisky to celebrate their freedom… assuming they are free.

Varesh has spent his time dealing with all the various injuries sustained in the rescue attempt and unsuspected additions, not including his own.  Some are major and some are minor.  Getting through to Knight might be along the major side of things.  With little time left before the meeting, he tries to get some rest.

And Monroe?  Having taken a few minutes to him self to organize his thoughts, one being what was the connection with Rose and Knight and what he intends to do to Trigger when he gets his hands on to him, he then prepares for the briefing.

Sid Monroe Stardate 10803.15: I have called up my newly acquired crew to go through a plan of attack on the target we have been designated.  It will be a plan that will work to our advantage.

<<<<<<<<<< Mirror Wide: Destination Freedom I >>>>>>>>>>

Christina Tulpen says:
::walks through the corridors of this strange vessel. She had asked someone about where the conference room might be and is now following those general directions::
Aaron Knight says:
::still feeling the effects of the alcohol, he throws on some clothes and tells Aidan he is heading out to find the briefing room::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Curled up in one of the ducts on a ship called the Nighthawk with no idea what is going on or why she was here... well, she was here because Aaron had dragged her along with him and his friend... not that she would complain about that.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::turns a door and climbs up a ladder  towards what is probably the bridge::
Varesh says:
::takes another look at the ship layout before heading to the conference room. He looks like a very long stretch of bad road and heads out of his room::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Stands in front of the bridge, thinking of what to say:: 
Christina Tulpen says:
::emerges onto the bridge and the unfamiliar people, she does her best not to be noted::
Aaron Knight says:
::stops at a panel and brings up the ship specification, but can't seem to find where this briefing room is, so he heads to the bridge to find out if anyone there knows::
Varesh says:
::since the location was in the same spot as the bridge, he heads that way, glad that its a small ship and everything was in close proximity::
Christina Tulpen says:
::spots a table on the back of the bridge away from the consoles and the few ragged humanoids operating them and pulls a chair to sit::
Aaron Knight says:
::takes his time heading to the bridge::
Varesh says:
::at least it is one deck up from sickbay and the quarters and he's soon there. He spots Sid at the briefing area and walks over::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Awaits everyone to arrive, collects his thoughts on the situation.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::notices Monroe sitting nearby as well:: Monroe: Nice little ship you have here
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: This little ship does pack a good punch.
Aaron Knight says:
::walks onto the bridge and looks around at the few people that are there, sensing their thoughts::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: A weapon is only as good as the plan to use it
Varesh says:
::flops into a chair and pulls out one of his daggers, idly playing with it::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks at the new addition on the bridge:: Knight: Aaron Knight.  It is finally good to meet you in better circumstances.
Varesh says:
::snorts at Sid's words, but says nothing else::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: I plan to use every ounce of her to finish this mission.
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at the new comer before replying to Monroe and gets up extending her hand:: Knight: Christina van den Tulpen
Aaron Knight says:
::approaches Monroe and immediately tries to sense who this person is::  Monroe:  I'd like to say the feeling is mutual.  And you are?
Christina Tulpen says:
::watches Knight's eyes understanding he is yet another one of "them"::
Varesh says:
Aaron: You are a pain in the ass, and he is the Captain.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: Sid Monroe, the man that has the plan to save the Earth.
Aaron Knight says:
::hesitantly puts out his hand::  Tulpen:  Knight....Aaron Knight.
Christina Tulpen says:
::shakes his hand and sits back down, letting the rest of the people break the ice::
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: I owe you a drink ::smiles::
Varesh says:
::winks at Christina:: Tulpen: You say when and where.
Aaron Knight says:
::walks over to Varesh and takes his foot to knock his chair over::  Varesh:  Looks like the pain is in your ass.  ::walks back over to Monroe::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  I'm kind of curious as to how you're going to go about this.
Varesh says:
::as the chair topples he goes with it and ends up in a crouch, his dagger ready to be thrown:: Aaron: If he didn't need you, you'd be dead.
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at infinity:: Varesh: I heard of a little place at the bottom of the Everest mountain on Earth. Then when depends on the rebellion
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: So tell us the wonder plan and what each of us is supposed to do in it
Aaron Knight says:
Varesh:  I don't respond to empty threats.  Aren't there patients in sickbay that need your neglectful practices?
Varesh says:
::Sets the chair upright again and sits down:: Tulpen: Never been there, but I'm sure its nice. If we get out alive, its a date.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: How?  Well that is why I have a well thought out plan.
Varesh says:
Aaron: No, the walking dead are up here with me.
Christina Tulpen says:
::smiles intently at Varesh, her eyes flirting with him::
Aaron Knight says:
Varesh:  Speaking about yourself old man?
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks back at Monroe:: Monroe: Just spit it out
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks around:: Knight: Where is Rose?
Varesh says:
Aaron: Oh, I was talking about you, flyboy. ::grins at Christina. He was actually enjoying himself::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Well, knowing how well this Varesh does his job, she's probably still in need of medical attention.
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Glad you asked nicely.  ::Taps the console:: This is the Shipyards for the Terran system.
Varesh says:
Aaron: That song and dance was old before we dragged your sorry ass out of prison. ::turns to Monroe:: Sid: I'll find her.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: All I know is that he can do his job, or else he would be dead in space somewhere.
Aaron Knight says:
Varesh:  Yeah, and this flyboy is the only one who'll be able to get you where you're going.  At least I'm good at what I do.
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at the screen waiting for the rest of the story::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  If it were up to me, I'd vote for the dead in space!
Varesh says:
::shrugs off Aaron's words:: Sid: You give them the story, I'll find your missing Rose. ::gets up::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Taps the button again:: All: Now if we stop the flow of ships being built, or repaired, that will assist our group on the final assault on Earth.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods to Varesh::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: You are talking about a rather long term plan .... these ships produce what 1 ship per month? How long do you expect the offensive to take?
Varesh says:
::smiles at Tulpen and nods back at Sid, ignoring Aaron completely, heads off the bridge and opening his mind to find the missing woman. On a ship this small it couldn't be difficult::
Christina Tulpen says:
::winks at Varesh as he leaves::
 Sid Monroe says:
All: They also have repair supplies that will help our side as we move more ships into the region.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: So we are not getting near Earth at all?
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Not right now. we will join the party once our side is ready.
Varesh says:
::pauses outside the bridge to search the ship, quickly finding her by the aura of misery that was surrounding her::
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Varesh:  Hey doctor-wannabe, if you need help finding Rose, I can always draw you a picture.~~~
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: So all the good positions and all the good land will be taken by the time we arrive
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  So where is it exactly, that you want me to fly us into?
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Of course not, without us they won't have enough firepower to punch through the defenses.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: What you do best, fly around this. ::Taps the button again:: This defense force is the only thing that is between us and that shipyard.
Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: No need, I already know where she is.~~~ ::his tone is devoid of emotion, not really in the mood to spar verbally with the pilot, he was still exhausted:: ~~~Aaron: Pay attention or you'll miss the location completely and we'd end up in the Andromeda galaxy.~~~
Christina Tulpen says:
::rolls her eyes but says nothing. She is disappointed as she expected to be on the front lines::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Piece of cake!
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: what about the defenses on the ship yard proper? How do we get around that on such a small ship?
Varesh says:
::slides down the ladder one deck and heads aft, looking for an access hatch to the conduits so he can reach Rose::
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: Well then it is settled you will fly the ship.
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Varesh:  Let's just get one thing agreed upon.......I don't take orders from you or anyone else.  We'll leave it at that.~~~
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: From what my information it is not well defended as you would think.  There are orbital platforms, which are no contest for this ship.
Aaron Knight says:
All:  Look, I just want to say that I am grateful for you helping me to get out of that prison.  I will get you where you need to go and do everything I can to help take back Earth.  But after that, my debt is repaid.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: So ... we arrive there, kill everyone and take control?
Varesh says:
::opens the hatch and gets inside:: ~~~Aaron: Lets agree to disagree on just about everything. Except me kicking your ass when we have that showdown.~~~ ::crawls down the narrow space, following the misery that was almost palpable to him::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: That is the plan.
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: Sounds fine to me
Christina Tulpen says:
All: So we need mines and torpedoes and good spies...we might need to pose as cardies or Klingons too
Varesh says:
::he turns a corner, grumbling about being a doctor and not a monkey:: Rose: Rose! You back there?
Brianna Rose says:
:: Her legs pulled up tightly to her chest, she hears the sound of someone approaching, she looks up, quickly dashing the tears from her face, replacing sorrow with a frown::  Varesh: Why do you want to know?
Varesh says:
Rose: Because this place is mighty uncomfortable and I don't remember seeing you in sickbay earlier. I was wondering if you had some injuries. ::he knew she had been crying and despite his attitude towards Aaron was still a nice person, most of the time::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Yes.  That is why once we take on this defense fleet I plan to secure a ship to act as a bait ship, that will allow us to get in.
Aaron Knight says:
::gets an overwhelming sensation from Rose::  ~~~Varesh:  So help me, if you've done anything to hurt Rose, you're a dead man!!~~~
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Close enough to take over the station.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I would feel much more comfortable if you gave us details on how the take-over is supposed to happen
Brianna Rose says:
Varesh: To be honest, I have no idea... it is not really important though.
Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: Oh, don't get your knickers in a bunch. I don't go about molesting women. If you had any sense you can feel she's unhappy about something. Now butt out and let me do my job.~~~
Aaron Knight says:
::looks over at Tulpen::  Monroe:  I agree.
Varesh says:
Rose: Wanna come back to sickbay so I can see if there are injuries? I hate seeing people hurting. ::crawls closer::
Aaron Knight says:
Self:  If Varesh only knew how to do his job.
Brianna Rose says:
:: Frowns and sighs.::  Varesh: I would rather be... :: sighs again, he is trying to help::  Alright.  Though given I am mobile, I would say it is mostly bruises.
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: I have acquired some information on one of those ships commander which I will be using to get control of his crew.
Varesh says:
Rose: I understand you want to be alone, most of us do in one way or another, but you were in the hands of those guards, so I wouldn't rule out some cracked ribs. Feel any pain when you breathe?
Christina Tulpen says:
All: So we start by taking over an Alliance ship, its a good start
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  You will be using?  I thought we were all in this together.  You're being too coy on these plans.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: We are in this together, but this information is something I bought.  Not you.
Brianna Rose says:
Varesh: A twinge.
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Yes, then we will use this ship to pass the outer defense perimeter.
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  I don't appreciate being kept in the dark about anything.....especially when my life is in the hands of people I barely know.
Varesh says:
::puts a smile into his voice:: Rose: Sounds like a cracked rib to me. They can be mighty uncomfortable. ::wonders how to get her to talk about what was bothering her::
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: If you totally am against this plan, then the door is just outside that airlock.  You are free to go to it.
Brianna Rose says:
:: shrugs with a light wince:: Varesh: It will heal.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I agree with Knight. If you want us to trust you, you absolutely have to trust us
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: And for my part I will leave if you hide anything from me
Varesh says:
Rose: Well, at least that is something I can fix.
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: I have already trusted you all with my ship and the lives on this ship, but all this planning before you arrived was done to speed up the process.
Brianna Rose says:
Varesh: All right... but given what came about, I deserve it.  :: straightens her legs and gets into a position to crawl out.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Very well, but we have to know the details of what we are getting into. I will respect your authority so long as this is met, I need to know everything
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Well then, since you don't need my services, I'll be heading off the ship at the first available opportunity.  ::starts to head away from the conference table::
Christina Tulpen says:
::does nothing to stop Knight and stares at Monroe::
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: Very well, then I will have to fly this ship, I know for a fact it does turn on a dime.
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Yeah, but I have the valuable information you need to know about this Alliance.  You'll most likely fail without that information.
Christina Tulpen says:
::wait for the situation to resolve itself one way or another before asking the rest of her questions::
Varesh says:
::frowns at her words:: Rose: I doubt it is deserved. ::manages to turn around with some muffled cursing against tight spaces and leading the way back to the access hatch::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Follows the short distance. Quietly::  Varesh:  I got a friend killed... he didn't know anything.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Smirks:: Knight: Well if you have information then there is always a price for it.  But I know you can be cohersed ::Taps the communication button:: *Varesh*: Varesh, would you be kind as to bring me Ms. Rose.
Varesh says:
::is taken aback by her words:: Rose: If you didn't twist the knife in him yourself, then its horrible circumstance::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Yeah, and it doesn't appear you have my meeting price....which is being truthful.
Varesh says:
::hears the comm as he exits the hatch and slaps the comm panel next to it:: *Monroe*: As soon as I can, Sid. ::turns to help her out of the conduit:: Rose: Can you hold out with that rib a little longer? The Captain seems to want to ask you something up on the bridge.
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Aidan:  Start packing up, we're heading off the ship.~~~
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Is there a reason for you not to tell us every detail you know? We are giving you our lives, we deserve the same in return
Brianna Rose says:
Varesh: He died and it was my fault.  If I had not been looking for another friend... :: shakes her head as she climbs out of the duct::  Never mind.  You would not understand.  It does not matter.
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: This is all the information I have gathered.  Nothing more nothing less.  If I was to tell you anything else it would be fictitious.
Varesh says:
Rose: I might understand more than you think, but I think that is a conversation for another time. ::leads the way to the ladder::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Follows along, having no idea why this Monroe wants her.::
Aaron Knight says:
::senses Monroe's thoughts::  Monroe:  Now that's the first honest thing you've said!
Christina Tulpen says:
All: Good, we agree. Then Monroe, how is it that we are going to take on this Alliance ship and control it?
Varesh says:
::gives a little bow at the ladder:: Rose: After you, dear lady. ::gives her a roguish little smile, hoping to get some reaction out of her::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: The spy will send us what they call command codes to disable the systems.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Then we vent their atmosphere?
Brianna Rose says:
:: Too angry at herself for Triggers death, she does not really notice much around her as she steps around Varesh and up the ladder.::
 Sid Monroe says:
All: Yes.  We will take out the rest of the force then take over that ship.
Varesh says:
::sighs softly and follows her up the ladder and to the bridge::
Christina Tulpen says:
All: Works for me
Brianna Rose says:
:: Making her way onto the bridge, she nods her head to those around and looks at Monroe questioningly::
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks at the newcomer, waiting for introductions to be made later::
Varesh says:
::silently sits down at the table again, knowing something happened and he would find out soon enough::
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Aidan:  Hold off on the packing.....this Monroe might be somewhat truthful after all.~~~
 Sid Monroe says:
Rose: Ms Rose, one question, where is Caelen Trigger?
Brianna Rose says:
:: Frowns and becomes very defensive at once.::  Monroe:  Dead... thanks to me.
 Sid Monroe says:
Rose: Then I owe you my thanks.  ::Looks to Varesh:: Varesh: You can take her to sickbay.
Christina Tulpen says:
::has no idea what they are talking about but is comforted knowing Varesh is back::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Glares angrily at Monroe only to feel Varesh's calming hand on her arm and the whispered words... later.::
