ACTION - The Away Team has encountered a group of Chelapha on Zeta Coyvan III. They have been guided to a pit deep within the surface of the dusty planet...leading into a network, a hive. They have been provided rappelling gear and are have prepared to follow the Chelapha into the depths of hell.

Mariva Hixxan has made herself known to Captain Sulek and they have agreed to meet on Zeta Coyvan VII, the same planet where Doctor Jervase is currently on...where he chases after the mysteries of the Xherivhan. Azhure has learned the history of Crossroads...all of the pieces seem to be falling into place...

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::stares at the tricorder as the translation works its way through::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge:: COM Tannis: Get all the information you can about what the Chelapha have learned.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: finishes adjusting the rappelling gear ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::readies for his decent into hell::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::on the planet, checking on the rappelling gear a last time to make sure it's been set up properly:: XO: I believe we're ready to follow the Chelapha.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus hangs in orbit of Zeta Coyvan III. The dead planet seems so small and glows red below them...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: In medical with Trogdo, contemplating what he has said.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::grunts as he makes an adjustment:: All: Lets have at it
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: sitting at the helm, watching his console ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Pangborn: Make offer to Chelapha leadership about a possible relocation and then give them time to consider.  Let them know that because of the war and subspace anomalies, it may be a short time before we can return, but we will try to arrange transport to a more hospitable world for their colony.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: moves carefully to the edge of the shaft ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COM Sulek: Understood Sir
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Turns to focus on the Tzani:: Trogdo: Is there anything I can get for you?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Pangborn: In exchange, we ask that they cease any raids on the native species of this sector.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::continues watching the translation coming through, and finds himself something to lean against while he waits::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ COM Sulek: I'll be sure to make certain they understand
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Pangborn: Be sure they understand that forming alliances with native species is not a wise idea as it will draw them into a civil war.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Looks down ::  All: It's not the repelling I worry about, it's coming back up...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Jervase finds a stone tablet with some red moss on it. Animals can be heard off in the distance. The sun begins to slowly set on the horizon as his translation works its way through.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits back in the chair, now it is the waiting game::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<Trogdo> CNS: A change of scenery, perhaps?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Smiles and flags one of the doctors::  Med: What is the status of Trogdo?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ CTO: I believe there is a human saying concerning combustible bridges that applies, is there not?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@COM Sulek: We're beginning our decent. I'll contact you when I know more.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::follows the Chelapha::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: descends into the shaft ::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> ::pauses as she's flagged down, and takes a minute to check over his readings:: CNS: He's stable enough, counselor... at least from what I can tell.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The away team moves down the massive crater in the dusty plains. They begin to move down and as they do they hear the scratching and clicking of insectoid movement from within the hive network.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> ::shakes her head:: Self: Still too much about these species Starfleet has no idea about...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
MO_Selara: Is there any reason he cannot leave medical for a bit?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CSO: Burning our bridges?  That means more about angering people you meet, as you may need their assistance later, unless you're implying that you "light a fire" beneath me?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::has the creeps:: 
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: tries to recall his lessons - it's been so long - and sits back, letting his weight do the work, shining a beacon below them ::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> CNS: Observation, primarily. Considering we found him pretty brutalized in a shuttle, doctor Alexander thought it a smart precaution.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<considering>
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ CTO: Ah. My apologies. Clearing I am misremembering that human idiom.  :: continues downward ::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@CTO/CSO: Gentlemen... ::continues climbing down deeper into the caverns::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::climbs down::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: considers telling the Captain that their silence will not make the journey faster ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
MO Selara: I am going to take him to either the arboretum or a holosuite with a nice calming program for a few hours.  He should return in time for a meal.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The already dark scenery gets worse as the team descends into the deep pit. They eventually make it to the sandy bottom...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks at Trogdo to see if he has a preference.::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::he unhooks himself and, with his beacon, makes a quick visual scan of his surroundings...::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: The EM field in orbit of Zeta Coyvan VII appears to be fluctuating
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CIV: Scans reveal anything?
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::sighs, and taps his badge, establishing a connection with the shuttle:: Medical officer's log, Stardate 10704.11. I've been chasing ghosts for over a year, first on my own ship, then in the mind of a patient, and now back where it all started. Yet somehow, I still can't help but think there's still a piece missing. Still something... hidden.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: detaches from the gear and begins scanning with the tricorder ::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> CNS: I... can't authorize that, counselor. Not yet, at least.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Jervase's log is interrupted as his tricorder beeps. It flickers and dies, the power cell suddenly drained of energy.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Be sure to keep channels to the AT open.  *Transporter Chief* Keep a lock on the AT as best you can.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: unclicks his carabineer and removes the rope ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
MO Selara: When can you release him for a few hours?
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::takes out his tricorder and, with the CSO, scans the area:: XO: I suppose they are not used to visitors.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::disengages the rope::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The transporter chief and Operations officer both respond with "Aye sir" in unison.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::stares at the unit for a moment, then tries to reactivate the unit::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - One of the Chelapha can barely be seen in the distance in the cave. "Come!" it screeches without much finesse.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::recoils at the sound as he advances::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#<MO_Ens_Selara> CNS: Tomorrow, without either doctor Alexander's or Jervase's authorization...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: follows the others ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Nods:: Trogdo: I need to report to the captain.  When the doctor gives you leave, ask your personal security officer over there :: Nods to the young man watching:: and he will take you.  Give me a call if you care for my company.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Scanning with his eyes ::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::tries his badge to see if that, at least, can manage to maintain its power supply::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Lock onto AT's COM badge signature and keep us in geosynchronous orbit above them.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<Trogdo> CNS: Very well, Commander.  I seem to be going nowhere, so you know where I am.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The sky of Zeta Coyvan VII lights up with pink, orange and gold light as the sun begins to move behind a massive mountain range off in the distance.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Stands with an understanding smile and points to the screen::  Trogdo: The library is full of nonsensical items that might amuse you.  Enjoy.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<Nurse_McNiel> ::approaches Selara, and hands her a PADD, nodding once before offering the counselor a warm smile and going back to the diagnostics on a nearby console::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Makes her way out of medical and to the nearest lift.::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> ::glances down at the PADD, then up just in time to see the counselor leave, shrugs up a shoulder and starts for the CMO's office::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As the doors close behind her, she orders it to the bridge, lightly rubbing the padd with her thumb unconsciously.::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::smirks just a little:: Self: So we don't play fair...
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: Aye, sir... also, the EM field over Zeta Coyvan VII is being projected from the surface, and is about 2km wide.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: The soft swish of the doors opening and she steps onto the bridge and over to Sulek.::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::steps away from what he was scanning, and decides to take a visual look around his surroundings::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thursson: Understood.  It is as we have noted before.  Somehow the Dakora are related to these projections.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Takes her seat and turns it toward the captain, slightly relaxed, waiting.::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::continues down the path, with the others - why be led this deep and this far?::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::seeing the counselor:: Azhure: Please be seated. I am sure Commander Pangborn will not mind.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::starts to walk a ways away, deciding to see what's being played at::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Michael Jervase finds himself in a clearing not too far from the cave entrance. A stone tablet, nothing more then an engraved alter sits in the middle of the grassy field. Pink flowers bloom all around the edge of the circular grove. Years early Commander Zwexyn had been killed in a blood sacrifice in that very spot.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he indicates that she may sit closer using the XO's chair::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Chelapha can be heard up ahead. It shuffles in the dirt and then stops momentarily. "Wait here."
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Stands and changes chairs, handing him the padd with the chronology on it.::  CO: I do not think you will like this reading.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::stops::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: continues scanning ::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::approaches the site of the sacrifice, trying to see if his own knowledge of the language, that he'd had no choice but to attempt to obtain over time, makes it a little easier for him to at least guess at::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - "Through fire and blood the Dakora returns. Thirsty, it craves power. Drinking the blood of a sacrifice it is called forth...and only with the blood of a pure-born will it be sealed away."
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::quietly:: CSO: Getting anything?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ All: This appears to be a central chamber of some sort. There are thousands of Chelapha within scanning range.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he takes the padd and quickly reads it:: Azhure: It is as with all wars...but civil wars are by far the bloodiest since they involve homeland.  When the home is involved fighters will take far greater chances and losses...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: But apparently, we were the catalyst in this.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A large yellow skinned insect can be seen approaching from one of the nearby tunnels. Its eyes are red and it moves slowly...
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::squints at the writing a little more, then decides to try something, turns away from the inscription, talking to no one in particular but one person at the same time:: If you were really afraid of what I might learn from here, why allow me to stay?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: scans the approaching creature ::  All: This one... seems to be different.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: 
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Elaborate
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A series of clicks and screeches can be heard from the yellow toned Chelapha. The universal translator kicks into gear. "Who is a leader?"
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I find the genocide of the Tzani and the viral construct against the Vo, both lesser combatants most telling.  We were one of the sparks in this, but the tinder, if you will excuse the metaphor, was all ready dry.  Even the arrival of the Chelapha or the Executioner could have easily caused this to happen.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ XO: Older. Much older than the others we have seen.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I fear the Noori and the Lilithine were looking for the excuse.  We happened to be here.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::looks the Chelapha straight in the eye:: Chelapha: I am commander Pangborn of the Starship Quirinus.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: True... but it does not bode well for us in this.  Do you have any plans in mind?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - "We are..." the Chelapha lets out a series of untranslatable words.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CSO: Translation - "difficult to understand"
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ XO: Keep it talking, Commander. We need many more speech samples before we can get a translation lock.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::continues walking past the sacrifice site:: All right, we won't talk. I'm more a research person anyway. But then, you quite possibly knew that.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::motions the Chelapha to speak:: Chelapha: We need you to speak in order for us to communicate
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: In matters of religion there is little that is logical.  Truth is emotionally driven.  We can only try to make what has happened due to the release of the Dakora by a Starfleet officer correct.  The rest is to try and make sure the war stay contained.  Beyond this, in such emotionally driven situations, I am a bit out of my depth.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I will need your wisdom, Counselor.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The tricorder beeps as it struggles to reactivate. The translation program resumes.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> XO: We wish to know why you have come.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::nods:: I thought so.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::with the translation program in progress again, he tries to scan for an apparent source of the EM field::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Chelapha: I come with an offer to relocate you, and a warning about becoming involved in the civil war at hand among the indigenous population. In exchange, we wood like you to stop the raids.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I must admit, that my actions in hope of building a peace accord between two such divergent religions may have be foolish and perhaps a bit egotistical on my part.  It is a failing of the Vulcans to see pure logic and as such makes us...umm appear arrogant.  For my failure in understanding – no remembering this fact –  these species have paid  a heavy price.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sits back in the chair and looks toward the screen::  CO: We were sent here to assist the Noori as well as to make sure this war does not spill into Federation space.  I do not see the later.  And as for the former... :: Looks at him wryly:: we tread into the religion of this system.  I am not certain where we stand in all of this as the...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Federation.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> XO: We seek to expand our colony...we cannot survive on this planet. ::The massive Chelapha seems awkward in the meeting chamber and scuttles about, closer to Tannis::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: quietly ::   XO: Ask it about the "humanoid" who kills, sir...
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::continues to scan for the EM field's source while waiting for the translation to decide whether or not it's coming or going::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Shakes her head::  CO: It would be arrogant to take the burden of their war.  As you said, we were but a spark.  We did as we were told... you did as you were told.  And at the time, another species as well as the Federation needed us.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Chelapha: Cease the raids and we will help you. What about this humanoid who kills...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Then we must check our footing with each step.  ::REB:: Why is it that when I talk to you, I often find that we wax so poetically...Thank, you Counselor, but I am not sure that Command agrees with your assessment.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::he stands defensively, watching the elder Chelapha moving closer::
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> XO: Dakora! ::The massive insect screeches and swings around - its back end almost striking Tannis in the side.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Moves::
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::decides while he scans to try the shuttle:: *shuttle*: Computer, summarize any changes in readings since I lost contact.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The golden horizon seems to get darker as storm clouds begin to move in. Sensors on the Quirinus begin to blink and let out sirens as the EM field from Zeta Coyvan VII fluctuates massively.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Lightly chuckles::  CO: I would blame my people for that poetic side, but since it somehow eludes Commander Powers... :: sighs and sits back in the chair::  Command has its own place in time.  My concern here, is I feel almost as if we are trying to second guess our selves, and to add insult to that, I would almost swear we are being...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
deliberately guided.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Shuttle> *MO*: Unidentified electro-magnetic field fluctuation, 0.16%.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
*Shuttle*: Speculate. Likely source of the field?
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Shuttle> *MO*: Unable to locate. Probably of Electro-magnetic field source on surface of Zeta Coyvan VII, 98%.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::finishes the thought:: Azhure: ..manipulated.  Ever since our return one species or another has warned us, sought our help, told us that I must die or we must rebalance.  I believe a professor of mine at the Vulcan Institute pointed it out -- Saving the universes is a tricky business and not logical and yet all will try.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::nods, then sighs:: *Shuttle*: Transport me aboard, and run a full spectral analysis on the field in question. Theorize on a method of dispersal.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: One would almost think we held the key in this somehow.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Chelapha: Explain....
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Have I ever mentioned I dislike center stage?
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Shuttle> *MO*: Processing.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I would tend to agree, but so do the Noori and Lilithine.  Where we are unable to see, however, they refuse.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light Michael Jervase beams aboard his shuttle in low orbit of Zeta Coyvan VII. The shuttles power fluctuates as he beams aboard, but then stabilizes. He notices a young woman sitting in the pilot's seat.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: Sir, the EM field is fluctuating chaotically.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> XO: We seek a new home. It comes and kills us. Drives us from our city, deep into the darkness. Even there it comes for us. Spilling blood. Killing. It calls itself Dakora!
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: But only in bright light can we see.  I think we are a bit off the mark.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#::steps off the transporter pad, and without thinking:: Computer: Computer, transfer control to secondary station and erect a level 10 force field around the primary.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Chelapha: Are you willing to stop the raids in exchange for relocation?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thursson: Any sign of Jervase? What is the effect on the planet?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks both puzzled and curious:: CO: Do you think it is a case where they refuse to see?  Or... are they being blinded by something...?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The field jumps into place and Eula Viera turns and looks back at Michael. "Don't you trust me, Doctor?"
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: An interesting thought.  Then perhaps our key is not to stand in the light of center stage, but to direct the lights into a new place.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: The field is causing some atmospheric disturbances, sir. Jervase is aboard his shuttle, just above the EM field.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#Eula: I can throw you farther. ::is in no mood for games:: Computer: ::sets the tricorder on the secondary console:: Establish a data link with this unit. Continue translation. Status of the scan?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Slowly nods::  CO: Something our... guide might not expect.  Anything in mind?
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> ::The creature is obviously upset and screeches loudly:: XO: We only wish to find a home!!!
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Something that I must consider.  Thursson: Is the shuttle stable?
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Shuttle> MO: Analyzing sensor scans.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::sighs:: CTO/CSO/CIV: Feel free to chime in here. I'm not doing well with him
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@XO: Explain to him the dangers... we can help him find a home away from his dangers and his enemies.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Chelapha: We can help you find a new home. We may even be able to help you defend yourselves against the humanoid-that-kills. But there is a price: You must stop attacking the other beings in this part of space.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CTO: he doesn't seem to understand. I've told him we can help. 
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#Computer: Computer, initiate program Jervase beta 7 1.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Eula> MO: Now now, Doctor...can't we be friends? ::The little girl gives a smile:: I'm only trying to protect you.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: What are our chances of another talk with Qui... on a more personal level.  She had to give up something to gain the power she did.  Somewhere in all of this, the universe is trying to be maintaining balance.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The containment field begins to release energy charges around the pilots seat. Eula can be seen obviously cringing in pain as pieces of her flesh are burned away...
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#Eula: You're the one who needs protection. Same old game... all kinds of different rules.
Host CJ-Tala says:
@<Chelapha> CSO: We only seek a new home - we have no wish to die or make war! ::It screeches in frustration:: Stop the Dakora and a deal is yours!
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: Yes, sir. His shuttle appears to be stable.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CSO/XO: It is not our way to get involved in others' conflicts.  Chelapha: Is there anywhere you can go where Dakora will not follow?
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Eula> ::She hisses out at Jervase:: MO: The rules are ours to break - it is you who must follow them.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thursson: Keep monitoring.  If the shuttle starts losing altitude, we may need to make a sudden rescue run.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ XO: If the Dakora is the Executioner, sir, we are already a part of this conflict.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#Eula: That was your rules. These... are mine. Computer, increase levels by 3%.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ CSO: Indeed. Lets keep that quiet for now.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CO: The storm systems appear to be building in strength, they'll reach hurricane-like force in about an hour, sir.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The computer increases the power levels of the containment field and Eula hisses, her teeth notably in sharp points, not unlike the Vampyre's of Sol. "You're regret this, Doctor...I can promise you this."
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: In due time, Qui must be dealt with.  This new power of hirs may be one of the shadows we need to light.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thursson: Warn Jervase to move to higher orbit.
MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
#Eula: I regret only one thing, little one. Not keeping you like this a year ago until I could find an answer. You just hate to lose, don't you?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The child's flesh burns and begins to turn black in spots. She hisses loudly and at the very same time the Chelapha screeches once more. Her minions come to her call and the away team find themselves surrounded. "Kill the Dakora, and you have a deal."
