The QIb Chronicles: Episode 243

Manhunt: Part 5

The Story So Far:

The I.K.S. QIb has been dispatched to Qo'noS, to escort Admiral Kelnar to the site of Starbase 487, for a high-level briefing with Admiral G'Val. However, before that, Admiral Kelnar has organised a little... competition

<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>

CO_Q`tor says:
::Turns to face the Admiral:: ADM: Admiral, as they say on Earth... Let's Rock!
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands behind the Captain watching unamused ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Continues standing at silent attention, but turns his head so that he is facing the Admiral.::
ADM_Kelnar says:
ALL: The following rules will be in effect for this competition. The cage is sealed. Two combatants will start the competition. Every two minutes, a member of one team will be beamed into the cage. A coin toss will decide which team sends in an additional member first, getting an early advantage.
ADM_Kelnar says:
ALL: The aim is to cause one of the opposing team to give up, at which point your team will be declared victorious.
XO_Horn says:
::stands and listens, ready to kick some serious butt::
ADM_Kelnar says:
ALL: By the way.. all weapons are banned from use. Computer: Lock transporters on all weapons within the holodeck and remove them to the ship's armoury.
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Lets the lirpa fall from his hand, giving it a slight forward push so that its blade falls next to the Admiral's feet before the transporter takes it.::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Quietly removes a hand phaser from his sleeve and places it on the ground.::

ACTION: All the various weapons and assorted paraphenalia are removed

ADM_Kelnar says:
CO: Captain, choose your first combatant.
CO_Q`tor says:
ADM: I choose myself.

ACTION: Q`tor is beamed into the cage.

ADM_Kelnar says:
::points at a sturdy-looking guard from his retinue::

ACTION: The guard is beamed into the cage

ACTION: A loud horn sounds.

CO_Q`tor says:
::Stands ready for the guard to make his move::
CSO_Stelakh says:
ADM:  ::While the combatants are beamed into the cage, he aims an arched brow at the Admiral.::  Admiral, I trust that Starfleet has been appraised of this challenge, and has agreed with its terms and conditions?
ADM_Kelnar says:
CSO: They have indeed, other than the fact that they will not be held responsible for anything that happens during the event. Hence the ship being under our command for the duration - we have no such regulations in the Empire.
CSO_Stelakh says:
ADM:  Of that I am aware, Admrial.

ACTION: The guard runs at the CO, growling

ACTION: The CIV, having passed out at the sight of the event beginning, is carried off to sickbay

CO_Q`tor says:
:: jumps aside as the guard lunges past and gives him a double fisted axe handle blow to the back of the neck as he goes by::
XO_Horn says:
::looks over seeing the CIV out cold:: Self: Oh geez, what a wimp.
Guard #1 says:
::stumbles as he is thrown off balance and grabs the bars to catch himself and keep from falling flat::
ADM_Kelnar says:
::approaches the XO:: XO: On behalf of your team, do you call heads or blades?
XO_Horn says:
ADM: How about I take that coin and shove it into a certain crevass on your body?   Sir!
XO_Horn says:
ADM: Blades!
Host ADM_Kelnar says:
XO: HA! Thats the spirit.
CO_Q`tor says:
:: gives the guard a spinning high kick in the back of the head smashing it into the cage::
Host ADM_Kelnar says:
::reveals the coin... showing heads::

ACTION: The horn sounds again

XO_Horn says:
::grunts:: Self: Probably a 2 headed coin to begin with.
Host ADM_Kelnar says:
::points to a second guard, who is beamed into the cage::
CO_Q`tor says:
::turns to see who is beamed in and growls at the next guard::

ACTION: The second guard heads straight for Q`tor, to aid his comrade

CO_Q`tor says:
::charges the second guard with a yell::

ACTION: The horn sounds again, and Tigs is beamed into the cage

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: waits for the opponent to make a run at her ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::ducks to one side and brings his knee up into the guards mid section doubling him over::
CO_Q`tor says:
::spins around for his next opponent and sees CDR Ravenprowler::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Quietly reaches up and removes his commbadge, which he then cups in his hand.::
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Welcome to the Party Commander

ACTION: The second, fresher, guard stops mid-punch and heads for the newcomer

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: neatly moves out of the way, giving her assailant a hard shove in the keyster as he goes by, watching as he flies into the bars knocking himself out ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stomps his head hard making sure he'll stay down ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: heads for the next opponent ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Captain.
Guard #1 says:
::pushes himself off the cage and goes after Q'tor::
CO_Q`tor says:
::charges Guard #1 and clotheslines him sending him crashing down flat on his back::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: takes aim with a spiked boot and plants it square on the nearest opponents groin ::

ACTION: The horn sounds again, and another Klingon enters.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: smiles and winks at the CO ::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: comes in behind the new opponent ::
CO_Q`tor says:
:: grabs the downed Guard #1 by the front collar and pulls him up, and then showing him his balled up fist:: Guard # 1: Do you submit?

ACTION: The horn sounds again, and Stelakh is beamed in

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands back giving the Vulcan a chance ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Flicks his commbadge outward, so that it's top point protrudes between his fisted fingers, and approaches the nearest guard, not really concerned with who his actual opponent is as much as the close target.  His face is a mask of absolutely emotionlessness as he swings the fist at the Guard's neck.::
Guard #1 says:
 ::looks up at Q'tor and rolls over throwing Q'tor off to the side ::

ACTION: The horn sounds again, and another guard is beamed in

CO_Q`tor says:
::quickly jumps to his feet to face the closest opponent::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: licks her lips watching the Vulcan heading for the newest opponent ::
ADM_Kelnar says:
::looks on, seemingly a little concerned::
Guard #3 says:
::Leans away from the Vulcan's fist, fast enough to avoid the impact of a full-force punch, but not fast enough to avoid a nice scratch from the commbadge.  Anger wells up in the Klingon, and he reaches out to grab the Vulcan by the shoulders.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: smiles sweetly at the guard before head butting him in to the ropes and then catching him with an elbow to the nose on the rebound ::

ACTION: The horn sounds yet again, and Russ Horn is beamed into the cage

Guard #4 says:
::grabs Q'tor from behind holding him in a bear hug trying to squeeze the air from him::
OPS_Horn says:
::Pulls off his boot and hits Guard #3 in the back of the head with it::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Is grabbed by the shoulders by his opponent, and sees a facefull of forehead moving toward him at speed, whereupon he lets his feet fall from under him and he drops to the floor, bringing a foot up swiftly in an attempt to hit the Klingon in an area most people would be surprised to know Vulcans are aware of.::
OPS_Horn says:
::Puts his boot back on and looks for an opponent::
CO_Q`tor says:
::tries to pull his arms apart enough to allow himself to get a big breath of air::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: lifts up guard ones's head and slams it into the mat ::

ACTION: Another horn, and Kelnar steels himself before being beamed into the cage, leaving behind his redundant chief of staff (who isn't needed due to the CIV's absence)

CO_Q`tor says:
:: pushes himself backwards as hard as he can slamming Guard #4 and himself into the cage::
Guard #3 says:
:: Having failed to connect with his intended target face-to-face, as it were, the Klingon brings his fists together and brings them down heavily toward the Vulcan's chest, where he connects with a nasty, fleshy sound.::
OPS_Horn says:
::Comes up behind the::Notices Kelnar enter::
OPS_Horn says:
::Kicks Kelnar in the Groin::

ACTION: The final horn sounds, and Sarah Horn is beamed in.

CSO_Stelakh says:
::Curls up into a ball after the impact, but kicks and rolls away toward the nearest wall of the cage, commbadge still in his hand.::
CO_Q`tor says:
::repeats the backwards slam into the cage::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: guard one attempts to get up, and is met with a klingon boot to the back of his head, and is now unconcious ::
XO_Horn says:
::materializes and looks for someone to hit::
Guard #3 says:
::Spins on the ball of his foot to follow the Vulcan, who has, apparently decided to go ape and is climbing up the side of the cage.::
OPS_Horn says:
::Throws Kelnar into the ropes and powerslams him to the matt::
CO_Q`tor says:
::repeats the backwards slam once again and this time #4's grip is loosened enough to escape::
CO_Q`tor says:
::brings his elbow into #4's misection::
OPS_Horn says:
::Kicks Kelnar in the head a few times::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: watches the XO carefully ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::repeats the elbow to the midesction::
XO_Horn says:
::joins Russ by sliding into Kelnar's skull like it was home plate::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Climbs up the side of the cage.  He reaches the roof, whereupon he looks down at the scene.  He launches himself into the air, curls into a spinning ball.  His feet land heavily next to the Admiral's head.::
OPS_Horn says:
::Grabs Kelnars legs and puts him in the Scorpion Deathlock::
Guard #3 says:
::Turns and charges across the cage toward the Vulcan.::
CO_Q`tor says:
::turns and grabs Guard#4 by the collar but is head butted and staggers backwards from the unexpected blow::

ACTION: Kelnar screams loudly, but refuses to submit just yet

CSO_Stelakh says:
OPS:  Forgive me, Mister Horn.  ::Reaches down toward the Admiral's neck.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: see the CO stumble and stands ready to come to his aide ::
OPS_Horn says:
CSO: He can't give up if he's out cold
OPS_Horn says:
::Applies more pressure to the Deathlock::
CO_Q`tor says:
::shakes his head to clear the cobwebs and rushes back at Guard #4::
XO_Horn says:
::moves away from the OPS and CSO to look for an opponent::

ACTION: The Chief of Staff leaves the holodeck

CSO_Stelakh says:
::Applies pressure to the Admiral's neck, but only slightly before he is cannoned into by Guard #3, and knocked away.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: taps her combadge:: Ravenprowler to DloraH.

ACTION: There is no answer from the comm

OPS_Horn says:
Adm: Say It, Give up. ::Puts more pressure on the lock::

ACTION: Kelnar yells some more

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands over the Admiral, performs a nice backflip landing right in the middle of the admiral's back  OOPS ::
XO_Horn says:
::sees the first guard start to come around::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Is knocked into the cage wall by Guard #3.  A bit of green can be seen on the bars, and on the side of his face, but as the guard rises to charge again, he grabs hold of the cage and jumps.::

ACTION: The Chief of Staff re-enters the holodeck, carrying a limp CIV over his shoulder

OPS_Horn says:
::Puts more pressure on the hold:: Adm: Say it!!!! I will break it.
DloraH says:
:: watchs the chief of staff following him ::
Guard #3 says:
::Charges full-forehead into the cage, making the bars there look rather christmassy as his own lavender blood mixes with the green of the Vulcan's.::

ACTION: The Chief of Staff starts rubbing the CIV's head against the outside of the cage

Guard #4 says:
:: charges at the charging Q'tor and the two collide::
DloraH says:
:: follows the Chief of Staff in to the holodeck, standing with his arm folded ready to attack ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Drops onto Guard #3's back, and drops a hand onto his neck.  He has enough time, this time, to apply the pressure needed.  The guard's bellowed curses subside as he slumps to the ground.::
CO_Q`tor says:
::is slammed flat onto his back by the force of the collision with Guard #4::

ACTION: The Chief of Staff wanders over to the holodeck controls to have both himself and the CIV beamed in

DloraH says:
:: grabs the Chief of staff by the collar and tosses him to the deck ::
OPS_Horn says:
Adm: SAY IT!!!!
ADM_Kelnar says:
OPS: NOOOOOOO
ADM_Kelnar says:
::starts coughing, and choking::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Climbs off Guard #3's back, removing his tunic, and turns to see who's left.::
OPS_Horn says:
::Applies more pressure::
XO_Horn says:
::grabs the first guard by the collar:: Guard #1: Going somewhere?
ADM_Kelnar says:
::closes his eyes::
CO_Q`tor says:
::rolls over and picks himself up, noticing that Guard #4 is still down and breathing heavy::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Drops a knee on the admiral's ankles ::
OPS_Horn says:
Adm: Say it or you will walk with a limp the rest of your life!!!!!!!
ADM_Kelnar says:
::coughs some more::
Guard #1 says:
::turns around and growls at the XO::
DloraH says:
:: drags the Chief of staff off the Holodeck and shoves him in a storage locker ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::jumps up into the air and comes down hard driving his elbow into #4's midsection::
XO_Horn says:
::swings hard, her fist catching Guard #1 in the neck::

ACTION: The Admiral reaches out for something to drag himself out of the hold with, and unfortunately grabs guard #3 between the legs

OPS_Horn says:
::Has the Adm's leg on the verge of breaking::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::He slips a spiked boot off Guard #3's foot, wraps his tunic around his hand, and then shoves his hand into the boot, then turns and almost daintily steps toward the CO.::
OPS_Horn says:
Adm: SAY IT!!!!

ACTION: A loud snapping sound reverberates around the cage

ACTION: Kelnar's leg is now at a *very* strange angle

CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Do you require assistance, Captain?  ::He asks calmly, brandishing his new-found "glove".::
CO_Q`tor says:
::put's #4 into a figure 4 and leans back pulling hard::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: If you could tell me if he gives up Mr. Stelakh
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Certainly, Captain.
OPS_Horn says:
Adm: It is over, Give it up.
CSO_Stelakh says:
Guard #4:  I urge you to submit.  Captain Q'tor is quite capable of damaging your limbs most severely.

ACTION: Kelnar finally taps on the mat repeatedly

ACTION: The horn goes once more, and all combatants are beamed out

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands behind the CO ::
ADM_Kelnar says:
::looks at his hands in shock::
OPS_Horn says:
::Stands and raises his hand in Victory::
ADM_Kelnar says:
::falls sideways onto the ground::
OPS_Horn says:
::Starts in on the Hulk Hogan Pose Down::
ADM_Kelnar says:
CO: Cap.. captain... ::cough:: I believe.. you.. won...
CO_Q`tor says:
::hot, sweaty, tired, and rather sore, raises both fists in the air and lets out a primal yell just as loud as he can::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Comes to attention once he is outside the ring.  Little lines of green trail down his right cheek.::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  ::Looks at him.::  Quite, so, Captain.
CO_Q`tor says:
::reaches down to pick the Admiral up:: Admiral: I agree Admiral. Now let's get you to sick bay
ADM_Kelnar says:
ALL: You've all.. done.. very .. well... ::passes out::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: thinks this was a waste of time, Q'tor probably could have won by himself and is suspicious ::
OPS_Horn says:
CO: He will think twice about being so Cocky next time.
CO_Q`tor says:
::nods to the CTO indicating the Admiral:: CTO: Get him to sickbay
MO_Bells says:
:: enters with several medical intrumentsand starts working, Tigs at her side taking a tricorder::

ACTION: One of the Admiral's guards runs to his superior's side.

CO_Q`tor says:
ALL: yay tach is open for drinks. Break open a barrel of blood wine
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, if we have completed this exercise, I wish to discuss with you some new torpedo prototypes I have been modelling.
CO_Q`tor says:
::Looks at his team:: ALL: majQa! As I have always stated.... the finest crew in Star Fleet or the Empire!
MO_Bells says:
:: knits the bones of the Admiral's leg back together and hits him with a hypospray to revive him ::
ADM_Kelnar says:
::groans::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Can it wait Mr. Stelakh? It is time to celebrate our victory!
OPS_Horn says:
Self: That will teach people not to underestimate me.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: grabs the dermal regenerator and goes to work on the CSO ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  If you wish, Captain.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CTO:  It is not necessary, thank you.  In fact, I formally refuse treatment at this time.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CSO: Stand to until I am done and that is an order, sir.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CTO:  I have formally refused medical treatment, Commander.  ::Turns his head away.:: You cannot order me to accept it.
OPS_Horn says:
Self: Not to bad,my first official act on board is to kick the crap out of an Admiral. ::Smiles::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: finishes with the CSO and looks for any other wounded, ignoring the CSO entirely ::
CO_Q`tor says:
ALL: yay tach 20 minutes.... Captains orders!
XO_Horn says:
OPS: We need to have  a talk.  I have some news for you.
OPS_Horn says:
XO: Just let me know when.
