*Back on Starbase 24, Thrain and DarkElf were meeting with the Federation CNC, and the Federation special envoy*
CNC: Gentlemen, report.

Thrain: The Intelligence was destroyed. Hondo is still AWOL. The ISC appear to be a part of of a massive conspiracy...there wasa cloaked Federation Ship.

CNC: We signed a treaty stating that we would not devolp cloaking technology. Someone wants to start a war.

Envoy: There seems to be alot of boarder activity recently. The Hydrans have asked us for assistance. It would appear there seems to be a plot for a coup. It may be tied up with this incident.

CNC: The Klingon Empire is hopping mad over a the incident. They claim you detonated some sort of subspace weapon.

DarkElf: That was me... (Recalling the last few minutes on the Intelligence)

We were vastly outnumbered. We couldn't escape. I had to stay behind and risk using magic.

CNC: MAGIC?! You can use magic!?

DarkElf: Yes, that time it nearly killed me. It was the only way to ensure the Jesse James had a way to escape.

CNC: What on earth did you?

DarkElf: I'll explain. The spell I used is called the Dragon Slave. It was commonly used to slay dragons. If misused, it can destroy a whole city. I put all of my aura into it---and it nearly killed me. I barely had enough strength to cast a teleport spell.

Thrain: So that's why you stayed behind...

DarkElf: I am sorry if I have caused...

CNC: No need to apologize. Hondo is very elusive. A commendation will be put on your record.

Captain, we have a new ship for you, and a new assignment.

Envoy: You will meet along the Hydran border with Captain Drake of Hydran Armada.

*DarkElf is handed a PADD with orders and details of his new ship*

DarkElf: Yes, sir.

CNC: Thrain, you will be patroling around the Romulan boarder. You will be part of a task force investgation some large anomalies. We think the Romulans are planning something.

Thrain: Aye, sir.

*he is handed a PADD, the is interputted by the station control officer*

Station Control Officer: Sir, NX-21074-A has arrived is awaiting its captain.

CNC: Acknowleged. Captain, assemble your crew.

DarkElf: Aye, sir. I'm leaving for the shuttle bay now.

CNC: Dismissed. And Good Luck.

"Where'sss the Royal Egg Cup!" screamed Grand Admiral S'faret over the main viewer of the Hydran heavy cruiser HMS Tenacity.
"Admiral. We don't have the Royal Egg Cup. Somebody else took it and attempted to frame us. It appears that a Romulan plot is afoot." replied Prince Malachi, the leader of the small advance fleet of Hydrans sent to meet with the Gorn armada.

S'Faret appeared to brood, "NO! It wasss not Romulansss. Your Captain Janusss ssstole it wwith the help of a J'inn robot." he hissed.

"We have not had contact with Captain Janus for some time, but I am sure there is a reasonable explanation for this Admiral. I beg your government's patience on this matter. Any impropretity will be fully investigated I assure you and the perpetrators delivered to you to deliver justice." replied Malachi.

S'Faret's tongue flicked in and out of his mouth like the giant reptile he was as he considered this.

"Very well!" hissed S'Faret. "In the ssspirit of our alliancsse we will wait here and NOT leave until you have found the Egg Cup for usss. But be warned! Our patiencsse is ssshort!"

Prince Malachi sighed in relief and spoke again, "Thank you Admiral S'Faret. Your patience will be rewarded."

"It had better be!" was the curt reply as the viewscreen flashed over to reveal the impressive sight of several Gorn battlecruisers in formation.

Prince Malachi yawned. "I'm bored of all this war stuff," he sighed. "Lord Yazzarin, I'm heading back to homeworld."

"But Highness, the situation here requires a member of the royal...."

"Oh pish posh!" replied Malachi sternly, "There is nothing here that an experienced Lord, such as say, yourself couldn't handle. Besides I think I've brought things under control here nicely."

"But majesty," bowed Yazzarin, "Grand Admiral S'Faret is not known for his pati...."

Malachi didn't speak but just tapped two of his three feet on the deck of the flagship glaring fiercely at Lord Yazzarin.

"Very well sire, we will prepare one of our warp capable shuttle..." Yazzarin began again.

"What? A member of the royal house going home in a.... in a shuttlecraft! Hey look, " Malachi said pointing out one of the viewports, "The Galaxian doesn't look too busy! Get her to take me!"

"Sire," Yazzarin replied slowly, hoping he'd be able to finish his sentence this time, "The HMS Galaxian is a Ranger class cruiser and an important compone..."

"Do I need to remind you who is in charge around here Lord Yazzarin? Mmmmm, do I?" Malachi snapped fiercely.

Avoiding his prince's glare, Lord Yazzarin walked over to and pressed a button on the communications console.

"HMS Galaxian. You are ordered to break formation and pick up Prince Malachi for immediate transport back to homeworld." he spoke aloud.

"Say again sir?" came the reply.

"You heard." Yazzarin snapped.

"Acknowledged, Galaxian out."

"Excellent," bubbled Malachi in excited tones. "You're in charge Lord Yazzarin, until and if I get back! And I'll hold you personally responsible for anything that goes wrong." he added sharply.

Lord Yazzarin simply signed and bowed before his prince.

Sometime after Prince Malachi had dematerialised before him and the HMS Galaxian had set course for homeworld, Lord Yazzarin cast his gaze upon the two battle fleets before him and frowned. The need to ensure that the Gorn fleet didn't rampage through the outer colonies had drawn much of the fleet off the Romulan border.

Which now wasn't nearly as well defended as it should be...

"How goes the preperations? Have you accounted for the tetryon emmisions yet?" growled Drall softly as he pulled on his second best dress uniform. On the other side of the bridge the J'inn robot was cheerfully counting his winnings and attempting to put on Drall's favourite uniform over an illfitting three-armed Hydran shirt.

"Yes we have." replied the Hydran engineer quietly, "Emissions are now at 0.1% of prior maximums."

"Excellent." whispered Drall. "Soon, we will be ready to get underway."

Julin Eurthyr
Ensign   posted 12-19-2001 07:21 PM                 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Chambers, Concordia Prime, Homeworld of the ISC
"So, my esteemed Collegues, it seems that our plans of Pacification by using a race as strong as the Klingons is in error. Notice the recent visuals from Qo'Nos..."
The room darkens, and pictures of Dogmatix in a dress, cutting cute paper dolls is shown on screen. Shortly thereafter, a picture of the now frilly klingons redoing the chancellor's chambers in a nice blue makes the senate retch.
One of the numerous senators stands "This cannot be the Klingons we have pacified and enlisted in our efforts to make the galaxy a safer place? Obviously, someone is attempting to mislead this august body."
"No comrade." The original senator speaks, "These images come from a reliable source, the commander of the 673rd."
There is a collecive gasp from the entire senate.
"Yes, Admiral Eurthyr has authenticated these images. He also has sent other images, such as pink hulled cruisers with preety peach curtains hanging in the windows..."
There is another collective retch from the senators in the chamber
"...And other sick images. We cannot support a race known for this."
"No, we cannot." A third senator comments, "So, without the support of the Klingons, how shall we pacify the galaxy?"
The original senator, a smile beaming from his face, says quietly, almost a whisper, "Admiral Eurthyr has a plan, I suggest that unless something better comes along, we follow it."
"I concur" the third senator says, nodding
"I concur" echoes throughout the chambers.
The head senator speaks "So, the motion to carry out Admiral Eurthyr's plan is passed. We shall adjourn until our presence is necessary later. Would somebody notify him of that fact?"
"Yes, I shall advise him promptly."
Flag Ready Room, ISCS Little Paradise
"Admiral," Varkin gasps out as he rushes into the ready room, "urgent communique from the senate."
"You could have used the Intercom."
"I thought you were busy in here, Wasn't Annlova up here recently?" Varkin gets out between huffs?
"She left a while ago." Julin glances down under the desk and beams Annlova a smile, due to her current, disheveled condition, it was more prudent for her to hide under the desk than be seen...
"Dismissed Commander, and next time, knock. I'll take the communication in here."
Julin activates the communications system. "Yes, senator?"
"Ahh, Admiral. The senate was suitably impressed with your images. They have accepted your plans without hesitation, nor debate."
"It is a pleasure to see my reputation still preceedes me."
"Yes. Amazing how it is when things go bad they recall the black sheep in with open arms."
"Especially when said sheep changes his colors and comes up with a plan they will support."
"Yes, That does make my collegues more acceptable to certain, conditions Admiral."
"Pacification shall be a near certainty this time, at least I can't screw up as bad as everybody else has."
"Agreed, Admiral. Agreed. Do you need aditional monetary allocations?"
"Not as of yet senator. Perhaps I can come up with, alternate means of funding."
"I see, not only shall we pacify the galaxy, we might be able to afford to construct the plans for our Battleships."
"Save one for my flag, senator, save the first to be my flag."
"Aye. You shall ride her to glory."
"To peace, senator. Sorry, urgent business calls. Space is a rough place." With that, Julin cuts the signal, and takes care of an annoyance from under the desk.

Feeling relieved now, various incenses burning to mask the smells in the room, Annlova has returned to their quarters. Julin continues reading the reports, however, there has been little happening for him to take note of. The majority of the Echelon has taken on the supplies requested, and are enroute back to the Little Paradise. The Lazon has neared Mirak Starbase 12, ready to deliver the Catnip and Jello, and the task force that was sent to locate the now missing J'inn robot, which instead took on some marooned Concordians in Hydran space, returns with their guests to soon fill out the remainder of the Echelon.
If it wasn't for all the subspace interference recently in the sector, the Echelon could be quickly reformed by the use of the wormhole generator, provided to Julin by the Organians. However, at this time, it is too unsafe to use it, therefore, Julin just waits, and bides his time.
"Soon, the true purpose of the 673rd will be on display for all to see. Just wait, citizens of the Alpha Quadrant, just wait and see." Julin thinks to himself, a smile on his lips while he considers the thought. Another, broader smile, crosses his face as he adjourns to his quarters to celebrate his recent victories...

DarkElf could only stand an awe while piloting to his new ship. It was marvelous! If everything in the PADD was true, this would really be a turn of events.
He examined his PADD again:

You are requested, and required, to take command of NX-21074-A effective immediately. Your current orders to find out more about a possible conspiracy, and meet up with the Hydrans.

Good Hunting!
Signed, the CNC, Starfleet.

USS Intelligence Registry Number: NX-21074-A
Omega Class (Prototype)

He quickly read through the scematics again, and his jaw nearly dropped...

Equipped with a Class 4 Cloaking Device

Heavy Weapons: Phasers, Photon, Plasma, and an experimental torpedo called the Quantum torpedo. More powerfull than the Plasma-R.

Secondary Weapons: One Federation adapted PPD. Still the experimental stages.

Top speed of warp 9.91.

It also had two holodecks for crew use, a hydroponics bay, and an astrometrics lab.

But, the most important thing of all was the speical shielding. Completely immune to the effects of polka music. Finally, we had a chance.

DarkElf: Computer hail the Intelligence.

This is Captain DarkElf. Requesting clearence to dock.

Ops Officer: cleared for shuttle bay 3. Welcome aboard Captain.

Just as he hit auto-pilot, he read the last line of the PADD.

"The ship still has some problems and you will have to solve them en route."

DarkElf: *thinking* What kind of problems?

*the ship piloted into the bay, and he exited the shuttle, only to be greeted by his Cheif Engineer.

Engineer: Glad to see you made it back in one piece! Unfortuantely, several systems are offline. Here is my report.

DarkElf: I'll be on the bridge....

Engineer: Um, sir. Life support on Deck One is malfuntioning. We are currently using the secondary bridge on the saucer section. If you'll follow me...

DarkElf: *reading the report as he is walking*

Life support offline decks one thru three.
Warp drive was limited to factor six,
Cloak was malfunctioning,
Targeting scanners were out of allignment,
Communications were flimsy,
and the list seemed to go on and on...

DarkElf: When do we expect everything to be ready?

Engineer: In three hours, sir. I have the whole Engineering team working around the clock.

*They finally arrive*

Engineer: Here we are sir...

*They both enter*

DarkElf: At least its roomy in here...

Engineer: Wait 'til you see the main bridge.

DarkElf: I'll be in my ready room. Notify me when we are ready to depart.

In the ready room of the Week Slayer:
K'arbin put down the PADD, and said. 'Computer, open a comm. channel to War Chief Gook, and scramble with code RW 239.' The channel opened with static then cleared to reveal Gook. 'K'arbin, to what do I owe this pleasure?' he asked.
'Sir, I'm about an hour away from the border and thought I should give you a SitRep. As to the...problem on my ship. I have demoted the offending sole to missile handler third class. Some honest work and he MIGHT see the error of his ways, I doubt it, but it has got him off the bridge.'
Next, I haven't seen any other ships out here. Period.'
'Last, is a down load I'm sending you now. I think you will find it...interesting.'
'Looks like a password code of some type?' Responded Gook. 'What's it do?'
'Just push the talk button.' J'inns synthesised voice was heard. 'Computer, J'inn code Blue, Blue, Red. Scotch.' There was a soft click behind Gook and a small door appeared in the seamless wall. Inside a dust covered bottle.
'Remember that bottle of Dalmore from the Earth year 1993 you gave me?' asked K'arbin. 'The little bastard drank half of it! I think this code is in all systems that the KATs have access to.
Gook looked enraged. 'I think K'arbin, when this is over, I will introduce J'inn to an Earth torture there females do called Waxing...one inch at a time!!!' Gook visibly fought for control and won. 'Thanks for the heads up on this and keep an eye out for...our other friend. Gook out.'

Ole
Ensign   posted 12-20-2001 07:33 AM                 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damage controls teams were still repairing damage from the attack. Ole sat in his command chair with a large bandage over one arm. He continued to glower at his comm screen. The Hydran at the other end was perceptively nervous. ?So let me get this straight, a Hydran ship is Attacked by a Cloaked Hydran Dragoon with Romulan Plasma Weapons which Now Has the Royal Gorn Egg Cup which is why we have a Gorn Battlefleet heading straight for Hydrax and you can?t tell me anything about it?? The nervous Hydran replied reluctantly, ?uuuhh, yes sir, The New security protocols require that your office contact the proper liaison office for release approval from Admiral Drakes office?? His voice trailed off as he noticed the gleam in Ole?s eye. ?Commander, you best reconsider your next few actions very carefully, it will mean the difference between a cushy job on Hydrax within an easy flying distance of the Methane shores of southern Hydrax (ahh, you were wondering how I was going to work that little gem in didn?t you?) and flying a rusty freighter running contraband Catnip with a out-of?order Ph-3 on the Lyran/Mirak border with a bumper sticker that says ?Real men own dogs that eat cats?.? With a audible gulp, the hapless commander immediately sent the data files to Admiral Ole?s ship.
ChrisLee was really not happy, his tall, cold one was a faint distant thought after he emerged from the depths of the Trigon. He was also very puzzled, things were not making sense. Admittedly, he wasn?t the brightest phaser in the array, but it seemed to him that there were a lot of new security regulations and they all led back to Admiral Drakes new adminisation offices. It also seemed that there were more and more of his ministry people poking around. This was very confusing, Hydra wasn?t in any sort of major danger that required this, was it? It was time to drop in a few Academy buddies and maybe call his shipmate Vendetta. The Admiral would like to know what was going on here.

Ole continued to glare (he seemed to do a lot of that lately) at the viewscreen in his ready room (an impressive sight coming from three eyes to anyone used to just two). Why hadn?t any of this information been sent to his office in Hydrax? Hydran agents had information that Dragoon ship parts were heading to Romulan space and nothing had been done about it? Where were all the agents that should have been working on this? It would almost seem that they had been pulled out as soon as they had started to get to the meat of the matter. Hmmmmmm, that would have to be handled soon.

Umm... I hate to possably spoil anything but I think I should probably post a number of facts on my Kzinti persona since I seem to be getting used here.
He is NOT an only child but he is the oldest and he does have a sister (Hint)

Single.

No kids/heirs.

Large bone frame and above normal muscle mass due to high gravity world.

Not afraid of engaging a ship 3 times his size (DF Vs CC or BC for example; BC is at the top end of what I can beat in a DF)

Rarely gets visably angery. If he does your likely dead unless you do something QUICK.

Only known member of the KAT fleet that does not drink or use catnip.

Usually outwordly emotionless even when ordering someone execution (Kzintibane gets a worse punishment ).

Well those are the ones I remember. I wrote them down in a note book during lunch once after seeing the player bios page but can't find the notebook.

Oh, and we are Kzinti dang it not mirak! :P

Hey Brez, your sister is single? So am I!Maybe we could meet up! As to why I am still single, well, look at my user name!
Now my contribution.
Captain Likkerpig woke on the bridge of a starship. He realized this by the fact that there was stars on the viewscreen and there was a large etched sign that said `Bridge` in front of him.
The last thing Likkerpig remembered was being on a diplomatic mission on a Federation starship with a Hydran (yuk). The fed captain was a strange one named Hondo, but his booze was good and that strange thing called a `hottub` that came with a `nurse` was suprisingly nice!
How the hell he got on the command cruiser Green Manalishi was a story he would find out later.
"Tactical, Science, Engineering status reports NOW!" Likkerpig knew the golden rule... when in doubt, make the underlings sweat!
Tactical Officer Noprob had dealt with idiots like this before, he had been on Captain Knob`s ship before this assignment.
"Captain there has been a delivery of cheap Canadian whisky, cigarettes, beer and naughty holograms delivered to us, I took the liberty of transfering them to your quarters"
"Well now," said Likkerpig, " Can`t let that whiskey go to waste, once you pop the cork it goes bad, ya`know!" He waddled off to his
quarters as Noprob knew he would.
"Just like Knob, keep him out of battle and we might live!" thought Noprob.

'We are a go Tommorrow we attack.'

Drake aimed the sniper rifle at a lowly midshipman. 'Sorry Erif you where a good assitant, but no one must know that i asked for files of the Royal guard washouts.' The frozen methane bullet burst into shards as hit hit the midshipmans scull shreding his brain then it quickly evapotated leaving no trace of the round. Drake quickly left the scene. A few hours later he recycled his weapon in an idustrial repricator and left the capital.

my RL sister is 16 and has a really angry and vengeful attitude.
That doesn't really matter for my game persona though since the age, gender and personality of the IC siblings are not the same or even close. Recall that Kzinti and Lyrans are born in litters. Kzinti (Or Mirak if you really prefer) are akin to terran tigers where the Lyran are akin to the lynx. Basically power vs. agility. IIRC they have about the same ground speed despite the size differences (Longer stride vs. more pure speed)

In Character Birth order, number, gender and current status.

Brezgonne (Single)
Sister (deceased 1 daughter)
Sister (Single)
Brother (deceased; died after falling off a cliff on nursery world)

I'm not going to list their age since I haven't the slightest idea what corresponds to what for them. Fleet Admiral Gook is older then Brez is however and Brez I think is probably one of the younger Patriarchs in Kzinti history.

Since it is REALLY needed for the sake of your story I'll have had him have adopted the daughter of some deceased hero, friend or I could change the age his brother died at or kill off one of his sisters and have him have adopted their only child. Would that help your story along Bane and J'inn?

Info on Brezgonne:

Appearance and General skills:

Large Bone frame, powerfully built with black fur with dark silver striping. Penetrating Azure eyes. 2.2 meters tall, 180 kg

Somewhat old fashioned in that he normally carries a sword in addition to the standard disruptor side arm.

The appearance of the sword is very similar to a terran katana. It is made out of an extremely tough alloy also used in starship construction. The blade is sharpened down to a single molecule to allow it to cut through virtually any material or body armor. He has been extensively trained in the use of this sword. He has also been trained in a type of Kzinti martial arts that utilizes the natural weapons inherent to large cats.

In addition to the two weapons he wears a powerful personal force field designed to operate either on broadcast power or it's own internal generator. While quite expensive and rare it is not uncommon for people of his standing to wear them (It's good to be the king/emperor/Patriarch)

History:

Brezgonne and his 3 litter-mates were Born on a secret nursery world used by the Hegemony to protect the children of the patriarch while they grew. The world was also selected fro it's remoteness as well as a number of other factors. One of the primary reasons was the gravity was twice that of Kzinti standard. While this made things difficult for the kittens it also made them strong. While they were growing up they were all instructed in academics, personal combat and matters of state. This included both of Brezgonne's sisters. While somewhat unusual it was done as a precaution against accidents or assassination.

On one occasion Brezgonne and his brother set out on a training exercise together. After several days Brezgonne returned alone and reported that his brother had fallen off of a cliff and died.While foul play was suspected no evidence could be found to support it and the princes body was found where the recovery team was told to look. While Brezgonne had been heir to the throne prior to this accident, the lose of the second prince made him the only option for succession.

As time passed Brezgonne showed an aptitude for military tactics and computer skills. These skills were recognized and honed over time until the kittens schooling was complete and Brezgonne was officially declared Crown Prince. After this point the were allowed to go and do as they wished. Brezgonne chose to apply his tactical skills and joined the Kzinti navy where he was initially given command of the DF Longbow.

In his first military campaign he amazingly destroyed Lyran ship after Lyran ship. Eventually he requested, and was given, command of a DF squadron. Lyran command was not oblivious to the actions of this new Kzinti commander and organized a force of no les then three refitted battlecruisers to hunt down and destroy this upstart.

A week passed before this Lyran task force was able to make contact with Brezgonne's squadron. When the Lyran commander saw that he had been sent to destroy a group of frigates he hailed Brezgonne. He offered him the chance to surrender since he obviously had no chance of defeating the much larger Lyran force. Brezgonne ignored the offer to surrender and began closing with the Lyran fleet.

An hour later it was over. One of Brezgonne's drone frigates had been destroyed but two of the lyran battlecruisers had been destroyed and the third had barely managed to reach warp before a flight of drones would have finished it off.

Years passed and the number and audacity of Brezgonne's victories rose until the day the Patriarch decided it was time for his son to take the throne. Soon after Brezgonne was crowned he ordered the formation of an elite task force designed to bring the best commanders and crews together under a single command structure.

While the mechanics of the force were present he lacked a name for the force and there for simply asked the members of this force for suggestions to vote on. Many names were suggested but Kzinti Assault Taskforce appeared to be the most popular among the troops. While Brezgonne personally thought this name to be rather corny it was acceptable enough to use. Thus the KAT was born. What followed were a number of battles and campaigns that sharpened KAT's teeth and honed their skills. They won great amounts of territory and prestige.

On one sad day however a rogue Klingon admiral launched a preemptive and unauthorized strike on a Kzinti boarder station. At the time of the attack Snowmane, the elder of Brezgonne's two sisters was touring the boarder stations with her husband the Duke. While the attack was repulsed by arriving Kzinti reinforcements, the Duke's ship as well as half the battlestation were destroyed. The Duke as well has Snowmane were killed as a result of the damage. This left their young daughter without her parents. Deeply saddened by the loss of his sister Brezgonne adopted the young girl as his own daughter and raised her as such.

Unlike most Kzinti who have held the title of Patriarch, Brezgonne is not married or had very much romantic contact of any kind during his life do to the constant attacks on the Hegemony and a general lack of time for such matters. This does concern the Pentarchy somewhat since Brezgonne currently has no heirs to succeed him if something should befall him.

OOC: here is what I have worked up at the moment.

In Character addition:
Brezgonne sat at one of the desks in the palace and fumed. J'inn had seriously screwed up the assigment and now seemed to have gone into hiding to prevent him from facing Brezgonne. Suddenld with a wicked smile he stands and moves to one of the computer terminals to dictate a message to all military and intel services.....

----------------------
From: Brezgonne
To: All military and intellegence personal.

I am autherizing an substantial bounty for the Lyran known as Kzintibane and the Kzinti commander known as J'inn. Both are to be considered armed and dangerus.

Both are wanted alive but their condition besides that is irrelevent as long as both can recover from said condition.

*Brezgonne paused a moment knowing that J'inn would also recive this message. After a moment he continued*

All liqure and catnip privliages for both of these men are put on hold. Any attempt for them to acces these items will be reported to Whiskers.

END

The Intelligence was functional enough to start on its journy, but not fully functional. They were traveling at warp 6, the enviromental controls were on the fritz, and every system was malfunctioning in some sort of way. DarkElf was getting frustrated.
<<<Intelligence MAIN bridge>>>

DarkElf: Enginner, status report.

Engineer: I wish I could give you one...The main computer is offline! Main power suddenly shut off!

DarkElf: Whats going on! Report!

Engineer: Backup systems coming online now...there. Okay, sir. Status report...

*Just as the backup systems came online the ship went Red Alert. Something about the klaxon, though. Oh god, it couldn't be...the klaxon was replaced with disco!*

Computer:*to the tune of the Village People* Battle. Battle. Battle. Battle. Battle. Y.M.C.A-ay! Y.M.C.A-ay! Red Alert. All crew to stations. This is not a drill. Red Alert...Y.M.C.A-ay! Y.M.C.A-ay! This is not a dri....

DarkElf: *screaming* Computer, kill the klaxon! Replace the klaxon with a standard Starfleet Issue one! Sound klaxon!

*now that HORRID music was put away for good, he was quickly drug back into reality*

DarkElf:....Computer, WHY are we at Red Alert?

Computer: A shipwide Red Alert was initiated after the ships computers extrapolated that the ship was in danger.

DarkElf:*taking all this in* Computer, are you aware that some of your systems are malfunctioning?

Computer: Affirmative. Backup units within tolerated parameters and operational.

DarkElf: Then explain how the ship is in danger.

Computer: Sensors, have picked up a fleet of thirty six starships, fleet origin unknown, ship-class: unknown.

DarkElf: Then WHY are we still in one piece?

Computer: The ship was automatically cloaked when the ships tactical database extrapolated...

DarkElf: DONT I GET ANY SAY IN THIS?!!! A COMMAND CODE, AT LEAST A NOTIFICATION!

Computer: Communications, and the main computer are offline. Notification failed.

DarkElf: *starting to get really angry* AHHHHHHHHHHHH! JUST SHUT THE #### up!

*everyone looked at DarkElf, he was one mad elf......everyone gasped when a visiable aura was surrounding him. He had a fireball in his hand...*

DarkElf: Engineer! Fix the damn main computer!

Engineer:*about to wet his pants* YESSSCAPTAIN!!!!!!

Computer: Computer to sick bay, medical emergency.

DarkElf: Sickbay, belay order! There is no emergency!

Computer: Computer to sick bay, belay request. Captain may be acting irrational. Blood pressure reaching human critical mass.

DarkElf: I AM NOT HUMAN! Sickbay! *he was furious* Ignore that DAMN computer!

Computer: I SAID NO!

DarkElf: AHHHHHHHH! Computer, software version and manufactuer!

Computer: Verison: 0.01a Manufacturer:1-800-GO-MIRAK. Quality Severice Check done by J'inn and friends! Quality and Satification guaranteed...Open twen...

DarkElf: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO! NOT JINN!!!!! STARFLEET HIRED JINN TO BUILD THIS PIECE OF CRAP?! HAHAHAH! *pulls out THE SECRET WEAPON*

All Bridge Officers (simultaneously): NO!!! *all screaming, jumbled*

LETS GET OUT OF HERE!

NO CAPTAIN!!! NOT THE CHOCODILE!

EMERGENCY TRANSPORT!!!!!

TRANSFER BRIDGE CONTROLS TO AUXILLARY CONTROL!

I DIDNT JOIN STARFLEET TO GET TOASTED!
HELP!!!!!!!!!MOMMMMMMMMMY!

And one officer could do nothing but wet his tunic...

They all barely make it to the turbolift but that malfunctions, so they climb down the emergency ladder. The Captain, proceeded to eat the CHOCODILE, and unleased a fury than man has never known. That poor ship...

With the recent dispersal of the subspace interference caused by recent actions, the 673rd finds that they are able to use their wormhole generator, and so the Echelon is reformed.
The Lazon returns from their delivery run to Mirak Starbase 12, the delivery of ISC "Special" Catnip and Jello has been completed.
The majority of the Echelon is brought back from their supply run, and the spares for the other ships are distributed amongst the ships that weren't on the run. With full stores, the Echelon is ready for further actions.
The task force sent to find the J'inn robot returns from Hydran space, bearing the marooned Concordians. And that is where we join the intrepid band of Concordians...
Flag Briefing Room, ISCS Little Paradise
"And that is our report, Admiral." The Rovillian captain concludes the story of their escape from certain death while their ship was being blown up in combat.
Julin gets up, and approaches the crewmen. "Thank you for your report. Now, I have one further test for you." Being a Veltrassi, Julin has a natural telepathy with the other parts of his quadruplet birth. However, occasionally a Veltrassi has enough telepathic strength to contact other minds, and Julin does have that ability, and it works best in close proximity to the target. He proceeds to get close to the Rovillian captain, and begins a telepathic probe of the captain. He proceeds to probe the remaining officers in turn. Julin returns to his position at the head of the table. "You're ordeal was rough, however, you are fit for duty. Currently, you are assigned to the Little Paradise, where I am placing you on paid administrative leave until you are either reassigned or request to take on duties here aboard the LP. I will notify command of your status, and leave the ultimate decision up to them. Any questions?"
"No sir." they all state in unison.
"Fine." Julin activates the intercom, "Varkin, show these fine survivors to the VIP quarters, they shall reside there until further notice. I shall be in my ready room pondering further issues." After deactivating the intercom, he continues "Fine work men, dismissed."
They salute, and Julin returns the salute. He takes the back door directly to his ready room, while the crewmen leave with Varkin.

Julin walks into the ready room, and as he approaches his desk, he lifts a padd off of it. There is visible disdain on his face as he peruses the data contained therin again, and as he settles himself into his seat, he sets the padd down, and opens a communications channel.
"CMO, Angela here."
"Ahh, doctor, " Julin sighs out, "Could I ask you why the medical reports are filed in the way you have?"
"Well Admiral, there are abnormailities found in the shape of the various structures that I feel warrant further monitoring."
"Doctor, the growths are benign, correct?"
"At this time, I do not see there being any harm done by those abnormalities."
"And they have no bearing on their ability to perform whatever duty we may proscribe of them?"
"No, Admiral. However, those abnormalities are strange, there is no cause as to why they should even exist, there is no other sign of trauma in the area at all. Due to that fact, the abnormalities should be observed."
"Doctor, if they do not impact the abilities of the crewmen involved, I do not see why it should be included on the official report to headquarters, it could delay their reassignment to active duty."
"Admiral, they should be monitored."
"And I'm sure that the CMO of their new assignment can do so as reliably as you. I don't believe that there is any issues with the growths being listed in the medical logs, just not on the primary report."
"Admiral, I beg to disagree, the abnormalities are a direct effect of their stay in Hydran space, and should be considered in the report."
"I'm sure that the LP's CMO would be more than willing to state the necessary facts..."
"I understand. I'll amend the reports now, have your padd ready to accept the updates."
5 minutes later, the reports are amended, completely clearing the Hydran refugees for duty. Julin then forwards the clear reports off to headquarters, where a decision on the fate of the crewmen rests. While Julin is handling his outgoing calls for the day, he hails the commander of Section 31.
"Sir, I have a request of you. Contact your best agent, I have a special mission to accomplish. I need Mallworld cleared of all shoppers and placed under Section control, I have special need of that location for an indeterminate length of time. It is essential for you to do so, lest our friends interfere with our plans. Consider this favor a payment for our assistance in the completion of the Stewart operation."

Capt Jeff looked uneasy as he sat in his chair in the presidents office.
The comm signal to the Intelligence-A and Jesse James went through and he was looking at Thrain and DarkElf.

Gentlemen, hostilities are breaking out. It looks as though war is upon us again. Please stand by to recieve you orders. DarkElf, we are sending you a new operating system for your main computer. It is made by a company called Taldren. While it is better than Jinn's, it still has problems. You may notice anomolies such as:

Losing control of you ship when in battle with three or more ships.

The sector's control going to the enemy even if you win the battle.

And the worst is that Hondo's ship will be listed as allied, so you wont be able to fire at it!!

That is all men.....Good Luck.

Capt Jeff then flips a switch and is now looking at the faces of the other race leaders....

They wonder why the leader of the Federation looks nervous, but he straightens up and greats them.
"Hail allies, it looks as if we have a war on our hands tonight. I hope you are all well prepared as this conflict will be a long and difficult one. I am not looking forward to fighting our once noble allies the Hydrans, but if they want war, then we shall give it to them. My personal ship, the Crasher, is finished withn it's refit and I will look forward to meeting with you in battle. Capt Jeff out".

Finished with his address, he flips off the screen and sits in silence for a second. He hears a sigh and then Monica Lewinsky the 10th gets up from under his desk. "Are you done already" she whispers. Umm.....yes, now get me one of those cigars you've been hiding, I want to pack it with this KAT nip I've been hiding......

AND NOW A WORD FORM OUR SPONSOR

It is a beautiful day. The sun is shining on M?Raa, the sky is clear, no birds though (you have got to be kidding, Birds?! On a feline planet?!) and the trees are green.

A ceremony is taking place. Majestic organ music fills the air. The Bride walks down the aisle toward her very nervous looking, large, white-furred, Groom. The best man, A Siamese, holds a phaser to his back.

As she arrives at the end of the aisle, the organ finishes. During the silence as they are about hold paws, a Comm-Link beeps. The new bride glares as the Groom looks at it. He turns to the Siamese..

?It?s Kzinbane?s frequency.?

He touches a control on the device.

?J?inn here?

Cue the music

Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow, Meow meow meow meow.

Meow meow, meow meow, meow meow, meow meow,
MEOW MEOW MEOW!

After a short absence due mainly to an unexpected anti-psychotic medication shortage, and my related and wholly unwarranted arrest, I plan to get in an installment this weekend. On what you ask? Well . . . While sitting in jail looking at all the pretty colors I felt particularly artistic. So . .
- Will J'inn catch Kzinbane?

- Will J'inn hurt himself having to do manual labor

- Will J'inn take command of a warship? <gasps>

- Will M'ress and Tempest make it too the Grateful Dead concert without getting busted?

- Has the bunny kicked the bucket on M'Raa? (Would the older players please explain this one to the younger players.)

- What else is up with the Patriarch's daughter, or so she says?

- Do dead Gorns go to heaven?

- What happens when Klingons run amok in an arts & crafts store?

- Just what happened to Dr. Brookins?

- And . . . , can you say Orions?

It may be long!

Tune in this weekend for another installment off . . . <cue sappy music> . . . AS THE D2 TURNS.

To everyone actively writing who just screamed. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing here. This won't hurt a bit. I promise. <snicker>

Kzinbane stood in the stellar cartography chamber on his ship, the GPF BrewHaHa and had the computer run another simulation. For what seemed like (and may have been) the hundredth time the simulation ended with the BrewHaHa being caught and destroyed by the Mirak. ?Damn?, Kkinbane muttered to himself. ?Computer?? he queried again ?plot course current position past Mirak starbase 12 and into Lyran territory, assume maximum cruise speed of warp 6.5 and run simulation?.
Kzinbane watched as the computer plotted the course he ordered and as the small golden dot that was the BrewHaHa moved toward starbase 12. Mirak ships changed course to intercept as in all previous simulations, but this time the BrewHaHa managed to cross into Lyran space! A toothy smile crept to Kzinbane?s muzzle and he sighed in relief ?Finally!? ?That?s the starbase which has been broadcasting the strange music, is it not?? asked the ensign in charge of the cartographic chamber. Kzinbane turned and looked at him ?yes, that?s the one with the odd fluorescent paint job and strange music. Further it is emitting odd clouds of nebulosity now. I even heard some reference to something called Cheech & Chong ? what ever those are?. Kzinbane looked back at the simulation as the computer ran it one more time with success. ?Well that?s it then? he whispered to himself, ?starbase 12 it is! ?

Soon the BPF BrewHaHa changed course and angled toward Mirak starbase 12. Kzinbane sat on his bridge brooding and watching the stars streak by. The cloaking device ?borrowed? from the Romulans was failing. Now whenever the ship cloaked an odd energy signature that looked very much like a huge grin remained visible. At least the ship was still difficult to find, but no longer was it invisible on shorter ranged sensors. Sensors they?d have to pass, as they got closer to the Lyran/Mirak border. Sensors, he thought, that on the border where he was headed fed their information back to starbase 12.

A young sunglider turned and eyed the strange sight, shook itself and decided not to ingest any more Romulan freighters. It could have sworn it just saw a disembodied smile streak by at warp. It looked after the apparition, but only the stars remained.

"Eurthyr to DooMee, Eurthyr to DooMee, over."
The communicator Annlova just spoke into came to life, and makes ringing tones out of the speaker. The quarters are empty right now, except for this one body of Annlova's.
"Hiya Ann, how's life over there?"
"Good."
"And you still have your Admiral under control?"
"Wrapped around my pinky. What about your intel minister?"
"Haven't quite finished him off yet. Soon though hun..."
"You want some help?"
"What do you mean?"
"11 ships of the line, one full ISC Echelon, can work wonders in helping wayward fiancés back in line..."
"You can get the Echelon to look for J'inn?"
"Yes hun, quite easily."
"You know that the patriarch is after my J'inny-pooh."
"I don't think that even the patriarch is too tempted to rush in after the 673rd. Especially when Concordia formally grants your lovey some asylum."
"But where are you going to put J'inny-pooh?"
"Me and my lovey will find a place for him, we've got some lovely ideas. He might actually enjoy some of what we'll have available to him there."
"YOU"
"And no hun, there won't be anything you won't approve of there."
"Where do you plan on putting him?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Well, where?"
"Since you won't believe me hun, I won't tell you, yet. Once we have him there, however, we'll let you know, and even give you a ride there."
"Oh, thanks."
"And have your wedding dress handy for then, you might find use for it hun."
"Really??!? You'll help me marry J'inny-pooh?"
"Yep. Can't leave him in asylum forever without some supervision..."
Both of them start laughing, and Annlova shuts off her secret W.A.N.K.E.R. communicator. Julin comes in from the living room. "So lady, how'd it go?"
"Love, I've found the best weapon to catch our man. His lady."
"Yep, I've heard everything you said, all is going according to plan." Julin pulls out and lights his cigar, "I love it when a plan comes together."

Trying to run the Gorn mission station on Klinshai, S?Treleg?s normal tendancy to worry was growing into true paranoia. S?Treleg adjusted the expansive purple cravat he?d taken to wearing (because it looked nice, it had nothing to do with Martha Stewart.) Squiggy was online again and S?Treleg wanted to look nice.
The Klingon was demanding for the tenth time to speak to Lord Admiral S?Cipio. Squiggy again stressed that the "Christmas Crises" on the planet Q?onos had left the Q?onosian klingons in disarray. Furthermore, since the Martha Stewart transmission had been beamed to that planet from here on Klinshai, even Dogmatix? troops were weakened. The Klinshai had proven immune, he stressed. They were born with a natural sense of fashion which their Q?onosian genetic cousins lacked. Wasn?t now the proper time to accelerate their agenda?

Squiggy?s assurance of immunity would have carried more weight had he not taken to wearing a monacle and a large, ornate collar that at first glance appeared to be an accordian. Squiggy insisted this had nothing to do with Martha. His fluffy Persian currently perched on his left shoulder wore a festive red bow around her neck with a nice little assortment of dried flowers hanging from the knot. Squiggy insisted that had nothing to do with Martha either.

Fluffy said nothing about Martha. She just didn?t understand why she wasn?t allowed to eat the dried flowers around her neck. Or why her claws continuosly got caught in Squiggy?s massive new collar. As S?Treleg listened to the Klingon expound his points, Fluffy got her claws caught in the collar once more. She howled in alarm until a massive Klingon hand moved onto the screen to remove her from her perch.

For what it was worth, S?Treleg agreed with Squiggy. But that didn?t matter. It had been over twenty four hours since anyone had seen or heard from Lord Admiral S?Cipio. S?Treleg knew what was in the message he had passed to his admiral. He knew that S?Cipio would most likely have sought confirmation from outside agents. Most distressingly, that usually meant he tried to talk to J?inn. And that probably meant J?inn had gotten S?Cipio killed. The big polar Mirak excelled at that sort of thing.

While pretending to listen to Squiggy, S?Treleg again pushed the button which sent his special message to all Gorn agents on Klinshai: BOUNTY ON J?INN! FREE LIQOUR FOR A YEAR! IF SEEN ON KLINSHAI, SHOOT TO KILL!

"And as I have told you nine timesss before," S?Treleg said after he judged Squiggy had talked enough to require a response. "The Lord Admiral isss extrememly busssy on an important matter of state which will bear directly upon the political tensionsss between Klinshai and Q?onosss. He cannot be disssturbed."

"Very well," accepted Squiggy. "But pass on my message at your earliest opporunity. Martha Stewart running a broadcast from our world to Q?onos was a golden opportunity I do not intend to let slip through my fingers. Tell the admiral that evil waits for no man." Squiggy cackeled gleefully as he cut the connection.

S?Treleg sighed. Where was the Lord Admiral S?Cipio? It just wasn?t right for him to stir up a civil war and then leave it to S?Treleg to run. "It?s J?inn?s fault," he muttered darkly. "I know it is." He hit the button sending out his bounty offer once more.

************

Dogmatix let out a bellow of rage. The floor shook, books fell from his shelves, glass in his window cracked, and somewhere off in the distance a small child was heard to cry.

It had been a bellow for a male Q?onsian to be proud of, and from the far side of the desk Toten beamed with pride. Dogmatix shot then shot him a dark look as a reminder that the purpose of such shouts was intimidation of lesser officers. Toten got the message and quickly withdrew his head back into the explosion of lace around his collar. Only his eyes and ridges showed.

The Q?onosian trooper on the other end of Dogmatix' vid connection began crying. "I do not need excuses!" bellowed Dogmatix again. "I need to know where Admiral S?Cipio is! It?s now been nearly thirty-six hours since he was last seen! I told your troops to harrass him day and night for as long as he?s on Klinshai. You told me you were competent. I had considered posting you back to a warrior?s duty. How is it you have lost all sight of him during a curfew period?"

"But sir, I swear he just vanished! The night streets of the Klinshai capital are dangerous. One of our own troops was killed by a suicide jumping from a 50th floor condo the same night. Surely the Gorn is dead?"

"He?s not dead," insisted Dogmatix, "until his head is on my desk. And your?s *will* be on my desk if you don?t find him soon!"

Dogmatix cut the connection in disgust. To properly demonstrate the level of his disgust he cut himself with the Safe-T sicissors he'd been using to make paper dolls. Satisfied, he then smartly shot his frilly cuffs and checked the lay of his peach-colored sash. The peach color blended nicely with the earth tones he?d adopted for his office furniture. He looked into Toten?s eyes, just visible above the piles of lace. "I hate shouting," he admitted. "It?s so undignified. But it seems to be the only way to get any response out of so many of our Q?onosian brethren."

Toten had many times before heard Dogmatix expound upon the wasted energy inherent in shouting, but he still didn?t understand. Shouting was how a warrior had always gotten things done. What was wrong with it? He did understand that he had been given permission to extend his head above the lace at his collar.

"That Gorn must be found," continued Dogmatix. "I?ve new supplies of fast drones I must hide on Klinshai, and I don?t need him spotting them. Now, what is this complaint you?re bringing to me about parking spaces?"

"It?s Deadmeat and SunTsu," answered Toten. He had not been able to extend his head far enough to completely escape the lace, and was now forced to press down the bit in front of his mouth so that he could speak. "They are in my parking spaces! I explained this to them, but they won?t listen to reason."

"So you decided to ram SunTsu?s ship? It is a good thing that the Alliance has currently impounded all our Battleships, or he?d have left you with a bigger dent."

"Oh no sir," assured Toten. "No, when you recalled me you said I meet need to fire upon captains of Klinshai descent, but I remembered you said not to until you gave the OK. No sir, I just told him that I would report his violation of protocol to you." Toten frowned. "Then Deadmeat said you were a Rigelian bloodworm and that you couldn?t make him move."

Dogmatix left eybrow shot up. "Oh ho!" The ex-chancellor chuckled. "So that is why you started ramming them. But why ram SunTsu for Deadmeat?s slander?"

"Oh no," continued Toten. "No sir, you?ve been preaching the virtues of self-control for ages. I remembered your wise words and held my peace."

"I see. And then what happened?"

"Well sir, they went on! SunTsu said that despite your former status as ?Lard? Admiral, you weren?t worthy of being called a Rigelian bloodworm."

"I see." Dogmatix frowned.

"Deadmeat then wouldn?t shut up. He said your were an overbearing, egotistical, Klinshai-wannabe. He called you a tin-plated dictator with delusions of fashion sense. He said your mother...."

"I get the picture!", interrupted Dogmatix. "So that is why you started ramming?"

"Oh, no sir. You?ve taught those under your command to be able to stand up to a *few* insults."

"WELL THEN WHY DID YOU START RAMMING?" Dogmatix was beginning to show an unfortunate tendancy to revert back to the shouting he claimed to disdain.

"Well sir," concluded Toten. "SunTsu said he wasn?t moving out of my parking space, because my DSF Gate of Stovokor was fit only to be piloted by J?inn!"

Captain Herru cursed Admiral Drake. A major crisis was happening that could start the Second General war and Drake was missing for 5 days now.
'What is that bloody fool up to?'

'sir?', the new midshipman asked.

'Nothing. Have you found out the identities of the terrorists?'

'Not yet admiral, However we have been able to confirm they are republicans and not some other group.'

Captain Herru curesed. Then sighed,"We have to deal with this at once. Contact the Federation and request the 'COMPLETE' floor plan of the building and call in an elite Marine unit. They are uses to fighting in enclosed spaces this should be right up their alley."

(I just read this over. I got really carried away. Sorry for the length. This beast is 21 pages long on my word processor. I have separated it into eight posts to avoid length limits. Ya better get a cuppa coffee or a brew before you start this one. I will never take No-Doze again!

THE UNRAVELING 1 of 8

The Miraki Warship Week Slayer (yes, Week) speed through space. This was a literal description as her mighty star drive engines warped and compressed the space time continuum around her hull and she shot "through" space like a needle going through folded cloth.

Aboard the Week Slayer, Captain K'arbin sat in his ready room facing the view screen on his desk. He was reviewing his recent orders and intel from High Command. All hell was breaking loose in the quadrant, and the Alliance against the ISC threat was unraveling.

There were border skirmishes between the Federation and the Klingons, which had something to do with claims of Federation Captain using Weapons of Dishonor. "My Gods!" K'arbin thought. "First the use of Polka Bombs and now the Stewart Device." If the Federation was truly behind this K'arbin debated to himself whether the Star League should remain allied with them.

To make matters worse the Klingons and the Hydrans were on the brink of civil war, and it was clear that all of the other great powers were doing their level best to manipulate these problems to best suit their respective interests.

Finally, the "peace" between the Lyrans and the Mirak had evaporated. Apparently due to cultural difficulties. K'arbin was horrified to read that the Equal Shopping Rights Amendment might actually pass the Miraki Legislature due to unprecedented political pressure brought by the few sentient females. All of this due to the impure cultural ideas that the Lyrans had brought with them. For centuries males had been banned from shopping malls. But no male ever complained. This law was passed so that males could say, "Gosh I'd love to go honey, but hey, that darn law won't let me." The ESRA aimed to revoke this ban leaving no real man safe from mall mule duty.

K'arbin then reviewed the two sets of Orders he had recently received. The first was a general order issued by the SLCA (Star League Command Authority), the Patriarch himself!, to all units. For some reason it had been delayed in getting to him.

TO: ALL MIRAKI WARSHIP COMMANDING OFFICERS
FM: SLCA
DATE: 12/15/2001
SUBJ: MINISTER OF INFORMATION J'INN AND LYRAN INTELLIGENCE CHIEF KZINBANE

PRIORITY: STANDARD

IF EITHER J'INN AND/OR KZINBANE ARE DETECTED YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO CAPTURE SAME AND SO INFORM SLCA.

EXTREME NON-LETHAL FORCE AUTHORIZED. DO NOT, REPEAT NOT, KILL OR CAUSE UNREPAIRABLE INJURY. REWARD OFFERED.

PATRIARCH SENDS

The second Order was from Warchief Gook and was an Immediate Action Order (IAO).

TO: MSC WEEK SLAYER, CO
FM: CINCWARFLT
DATE: 12/22/2001
SUBJ: STARBASE 12

PRIORITY: FLASH

STARBASE 12 IS NO LONGER RESPONDING TO HAILS. OUR LAST COMMUNICATION WITH THE BASE WAS WITH KATS M'RESS AND TEMPEST. BOTH WERE IN AN IRRATIONAL STATE. BOTH THREATENED TO SPREAD SOME TYPE OF MIND ALTERING AGENT TO PLANETS AND STARSHIPS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE BASE.

YOUR ARE ORDERED TO IMMEDIATELY REPORT TO STARBASE 12 AND INVESTIGATE. ASSUME LEVEL 10 BIO-HAZARD. OBTAIN AS MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING THIS MATTER AS POSSIBLE, BUT AVOID FURTHER SPREAD OF THIS CONDITION AT ALL COSTS. IF YOU DETERMINE THAT THE AGENTS CANNOT BE NEUTRALIZED YOUR ARE WEAPONS FREE TO DESTROY THE BASE AND ALL INFECTED PERSONNEL.

OTHER WARSHIPS HAVE BEEN DESPATCHED TO THE AREA. YOU HAVE OPERATIONAL COMMAND.

WARCHIEF GOOK SENDS

K'arbin flicked off his view screen and pondered his position. Just what could J'inn have done to warrant this level of attention, he wondered. True, J'inn was a genuine pain in the butt. He terrified many civilians and non-elite military men, and liked to throw his weight around. The Ministry of Information was not to be trifled with. People disappeared on M'Raa. Especially traitors. But even K'arbin had to admit that the big white cat's methods had proven beneficial to the Star League in the past, and K'arbin was smart enough to know that only 10% of his "actions" on behalf of the government would ever be known to anyone other than a select few. So just what had J'inn done? Perhaps it was better that he never knew.

Well, the real question was should he turn over J'inn now or later. Later, K'arbin thought, perhaps J'inn would have information that could help M'Ress. M'Ress and K'arbin had been close friends for years and this recent news of M'Ress' plight greatly disturbed K'arbin. Even more so did the Warchief's order to kill all infected personnel if a cure could not be found. No, thought K'arbin, J'inn would stay for now. He might prove useful.

Besides what trouble could J'inn cause. His sneaky little subroutines had all been deleted and he was in command of nothing. The only thing J'inn could do now was work and think. "Uh Oh!" K'arbin thought and he immediately ordered J'inn to work double shifts.

"Bridge, Captain, what is our ETA to Starbase 12?" K'arbin requested using the comm panel.

"Captain, Bridge, Four hours," came the response from his XO.

"XO bring our sensors to maximum, we are also looking for a Lyran warship heading outbound."

THE IMPLAUSIBLE 2 of 8
"Dammit, whenever all hell breaks loose in the quadrant J'inn is always out causing more hell and never here to run things!" The Deputy Minister of Information (Operations) fumed to the analyst sitting across from him. "Then here I am to deal with these crises."

The threat board was lit up like a Christmas Tree. Hot skirmishes were flaring up all over the quadrant. (READ CW5.5) Even worse was the very real threat of civil war in both the Klingon and Hydran Empires. The destabilizing effect of such an event in either Empire could unravel the delicate peace that had been forged after the ISC War of Pacification and the Twinkee Incident.

The Ministry was strained. Every agent, both foreign and domestic, were on high alert. Information had to be gathered regarding the recent events, but it seemed things were popping up all over. The Ministry's analysts believed that there was some sort of overall link between many of the "troubles," however, they had not been able to determine what that link was, or who. Information, however, had been pouring in. The man hours to digest it all had been staggering.

"And then . . . this!" The DMO sighed to himself. He had just finished being briefed regarding the taking hostage of the Miraki Ambassador to Hydra. Apparently the Hydran Republican Front was behind it. Or at least that is where the data pointed to date. It also appeared that all of the major powers' ambassadors to Hydra had been captured as well. At a diplomatic party no doubt.

"What can be done about this." the DMO asked.

"Well, we doubt that diplomatic channels will work in this case. Furthermore, a direct assault would surely lead to the death of the Ambassador as well as to a war. This leaves the only options of doing nothing or a clandestine operation." the chief analyst reported.

"Have you run the simulations?" the DMO asked.

"Yes, sir, we have, and I am afraid that the UniKat 2000 computer has deemed the mission, impossible." the analyst said with a hinting tone in his voice. And with that, the DMO shook his head ruefully and hit a button on his comm panel.

In the Mall of Mirak, one of the largest shopping malls anywhere save for Federation space, it was a busy day of shopping. The mall was filled with women, most of them rather dim, as men were banned by law from shopping. The women, however, had been a little more bubbly lately. The Equal Shopping Rights Amendment looking like it was going to pass. Soon! Oh so soon, their husbands would be able to come shop with them. Oh the glee at having someone nice carry your packages. Oh the pleasure at finally being able to ask your mate "Do I look fat in this?" before having to buy a new dress. Yes, M'Raa was soon to become a brave new world.

In this hustle and bustle, Felicity M'Ress shopped blissfully. She too awaited the day when her husband, the mighty Captain M'Ress would be able to help her with the shopping. Oh, he would enjoy it so much! So many times had he said with a sad voice, "Gosh honey I wish I could go the Target with you but hey, it's the law." Poor M'Ress. He was such a trooper. He even pretended to be happy about not be able to go, just to make her not feel guilty for all the fun she was having. Maybe the ESRA would pass before M'Ress got back from his latest assignment. Oh would he be in for such a happy surprise! The poor man had no idea of the joys of shopping for women's shoes. But soon, Felicity thought, that would all change.

While lost in thought, and while looking at a pair of boots, someone touched Felicity on the arm. It was a sales clerk from the holosuite store across the hall. Felicity noted the reddish tinge to her fur and the twinkle in her eye. "Excuse me ma'am, but I thought you would like to try one of our personal holosuite programs. It's all the rage these days." the bright young clerk said.

"No thank you." Felicity stated as she turned to walk away. "I can't believe they actually want 80 credits for those boots, and they call this a sale."

The fur on the back of her neck rose up as she noticed the clerk had not let go of her arm. In fact the grip had increased. As she spun around to yell at the pushy salesclerk, the sales clerk looked her in the eye and said "It's on the house."

Felicity jogged over to the holosuite store with the clerk and was handed a data crystal. She was then led to one of the demo models and allowed to enter the four meters cubed device. Within, she enter the crystal into the port and the devise became alive. The hologram of an empty white room appeared and a deep male voice began to speak:

"Good morning RedFur. Standing before you is Ambassador Rastok, Miraki Ambassador to Hydra."

Before her materialized a elderly and distinguished looking Mirak diplomat.

"We have received reports that Ambassador Rastok may have been captured by elements of the Hydran Republican Front and is currently being held in an unknown location. It is also believed that the Ambassadors of each of the quadrants major powers have also been captured."

The vision blurred and the Ambassador was replaced with a Hydran Admiral.

"The Hydra you see before you is Admiral Drake. He is known to be sympathetic to the Hydran Republican Front. The level of his involvement, if any, in this matter is unknown to M.I.S.T. However, he should be avoided at all costs."

The vision blurred a second time and the Admiral was replaced by another Hydran.

"This is the Hydran chief of intelligence, Ole. We have confirmed that he remains loyal to the Hydran King and that he is currently investigating this matter along with several related matters. You are to rendevous with him as soon as possible in the furtherance of your mission parameters.

"A full briefing report has been downloaded into your runabout's data banks. Beam out code: Dust-off Epsilon.

"Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is as follows: Locate the whereabouts of the Ambassador. Determine if he is in danger, and if so, return him safely to M'Raa."

"As always, if you should be captured or otherwise compromised, the Minister will disavow any knowledge of your activities.

"This crystal will self destruct in five seconds."

"Shi%!" RedFur thought as she dove out of the doorway just before smoke came boiling out of the device. "Why, why, why can't they just erase themselves!" She wondered as she rolled out of her dive and came to her feet. Klaxons where sounding due to the smoke and in the confusion RedFur left the mall and went home. Thirty minutes later a very fast and very well armed runabout left the M'Raa system on a course for the Hydran border.

A SERPENT IN HEAVEN? 3 of 8
"Heya S'Cippy!" S'Cipio heard as he groaned and opened his eyes. The last thing he remembered was seeing Romulans with phasers and then a beam of light. Had he been shot??!! If so he was okay, in fact he felt great. Not hungry or thirsty or tired. Just great. A little too good in fact.

That was until he opened his eyes completely and saw the grinning face of J'inn looking down on him. "Oh no!" S'Cipio thought. "What have I done to deserve this? And just what is that obnoxious fur bag doing here? I'm right in the middle of a delicate mission. Not now. Please not now."

"Here buddy, let me give you a hand" J'inn said as he grabbed S'Cipio's hand and pulled him up. An then S'Cipio noticed something was wrong. Very wrong. He looked around and failed to see anything of the Klingon planet he had been on. In fact it appeared to be the famous Iguana resort on the Gorn Homeworld. Lush tropical rainforests, miles of white, warm sunny beaches, beautiful females. It was heaven.

"J'inn, how did I get home and what are you doing here?" S'Cipio asked his old friend, and ironically, oft times nemesis.

"Umm let's see." J'inn began. "Well, first of I'm not J'inn."

"What!! Look I don't have time for your games J'inn I gotta get back to . . . ." S'Cipio's eyes widened in shock. His voice! He was speaking J'inn's language without any difficulties at all. Just what was happening?

"Well buddy, time you got in spades now. Ya see, you're dead." S'Cipio started to open his mouth but "J'inn" stopped him. "Look S'Cippy I know this is hard for you. It always is. But this is heaven and I'm your guide. You may call me Dante."

"Dead, I can't be . . . . OMG the phaser!" S'Cipio said and then. "Right!, then why to you look and sound like J'inn."

"Well, I look like someone different to each person who comes here. Someone they connect death with. Now be quiet for a minute, I gotta give you the schpeel. Centuries ago I came hear and was given the tour. I was then returned to the land of the living to write about my experiences. After my passing, I was selected as a celestial tour guide due to my experience. It is my job to give you the tour of hell."

"What! This can't be happening! And just why would I want to go on a tour of hell?"

"Want has nothing to do with it. As for why, don't ask me, I've been ordered to give you the tour by the big lizard in the sky, so tour we will. I just do what I'm told buddy."

And with that space and time blurred around the two men and soon the tranquil surroundings changed into a bleak, cold and barren landscape. There were large birds flying about, so many birds.

S'Cipio along with all Gorn hated birds. The reason was unknown to outsiders but was based upon scary children's stories that involved giant avians carrying away the young. As S'Cipio looked closer he could see the giant vultures swooping down on something in a deep valley. They were Gorns! The great birds were picking them up and carrying them off to be fed upon! Within the valley there were thousands of Gorn, some running, some just standing still awaiting there fate.

"That is the fate of the evil Gorns." J'inn/Dante said. "The robbers, the muggers, the murders, etc."

"It is horrible!"

"No my friend, that is not horrible, for that we must go to the lower levels," and with that Dante pointed to a freight elevator that appeared suddenly on the terrain, a bottomless pit beneath it. "Don't worry no harm will befall you S'Cipio, you are only here as a witness. Trust yer Ol' Buddy Dante here."

They entered the elevator and it began its decent into hell. A hissing voice announced over the intercom. "Level two, flames" The doors opened and S'Cipio beheld thousands of Gorn being roasted alive on spits.

"A yes" Dante stated, "I hear it tastes just like chicken." <snicker> "Anyway, this is the fate of those Gorn warriors who engage in flame wars. Ya know, getting into verbal fights all the time with other warriors. They really should have let their weapons do the talking for them, so now they get to feel the heat of the flames for eternity."

The screams of the burning echoed within the vast chamber and the smell was truly horrible. S'Cipio almost retched.

"Going down." Dante said gleefully.

"Third level, hex stealers." The voice stated and the doors opened. Inside was a huge room with a large slope on one side. Within the chamber were thousands of Gorn, each pushing a large boulder up the slope. As one would get to the top a demon would push the boulder back down the hill and the Gorn would have to start all over again.

"Ah, yes, those Gorn who let others do all the work and then stole the fruits of that labor. Now it is they who will labor for eternity. Going down."

"Forth level, AltF4ers" The doors opened and inside there was nothing but space. S'Cipio panicked think he would be sucked into the void. But nothing happened. And then he saw hundreds of Gorn freighters, and in the distance, a fleet of Romulan dreadnaughts.

"Tsk Tsk, the fate of those diabolical Gorn who used transwarp drive (AltF4) to escape destruction. Truly dishonorable. Now they get to captain freighters in endless battles with dreadnaughts. And no, there is no reset button. <snicker>" The doors closed as the first freighter exploded in a blast of plasma only to reform and be destroyed again. "Going down"

"Fifth level, cheaters." The doors opened to the sound of screaming coming from a factory building in the distance. Going into the building was a conveyor belt upon which were hundreds of Gorn strapped down end to end. Exiting the building was an endless line of smiling Klingons all wearing brand new leather armor. From the opposite side, the conveyor belt exited. Upon it were what was left of the Gorn. All of their skin had been removed. Then to S'Cipio's horror, their skin grew back and the conveyor belt looped around to reenter the building. The screaming was horrible.

"Cheates, Rotting Furers, Bug Abusers, almost the worst things in the galaxy. This is too good for them!" Dante said as he spat on the ground. "Going down!"

"Sixth level, special cases." The doors opened to a long silent hallway that stretched on forever. Doors lined both sides. On each door was a name. S'Cipio could see the following names printed on the doors closest to him: Squiggy, Laflin, Drall, Hondo, Sockfoot, and a really large door with The Administrators written on it. There were more names in the distance but he could not make them out.

"These are our special rooms for those who have justly deserved "special treatment" some are already full, some are empty and waiting. We could go in, but I'm afraid it would drive you insane. Best that we continue. Going down."

Level seven, bottom floor, the truly evil." The doors opened and there was J'inn! Another J'inn that is. He was on a stage and in the audience, tied to chairs, were hundreds of Gorns. S'Cipio recognized some of them. Mass murders and megalomaniacs from Gorn history. They were all crying. At first S'Cipio was confused and then he heard the most terrifying thing he had ever heard in his life: Music started up, disco music, and J'inn started to sing "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees. S'Cipio covered his ears and started to scream. The last thing he heard before passing out was Dante saying "Tour over, going up! Remember S'Cippy, you be a good little reptile, for serpents are still allowed in heaven."

A sea of blackness, of peace. A sharp sting in his tongue. And then, somewhere in the distance, S'Cipio heard a voice say, "I think he is coming around now."

A PRELUDE TO GENESIS 4 of 8
A few days ago deep within Romulan space . . .

Aboard the cloaked Hydran Dragoon class warship Silent But Deadly, Commander Drall sat uncomfortably in the command chair that really wasn't designed for the Romulan frame. To his right was a Hydran Commodore wrapped within an environmental suit. To his left was the mad and evil Dr. Melvin Brookins.

Drall was pleased that the final test was underway. The whole Hydran toes revelation had set back the project for weeks while special shoes were made that included artificial articulating toes for the Hydrans. It had been necessary though. If the Hydrans were going to fly cloaked Hydran vessels into Hydran space they would just HAVE to be able to walk on tippy toes. No one had thought that perhaps they didn't have toes.

Yes, all was going according to plan. The Hydran ships would have no trouble getting to the target planets within Hydran space. The Hydran Admiral Drake had insisted that it be Hydrans with their hands on the button, obviously afraid that the Romulans would select uninhabited as well as inhabited planets indiscriminately. At least this way, Drake would be able to sleep at night knowing that no Hydran populated worlds had been converted. Drall smiled inwardly at this however, for a side project was in progress trying to convert the Beano Plasma launchers to work on Romulan ships. The engineers felt in should be possible, and they had learned much from their work in converting the Hellbore cannons to Beano Plasma launchers. It would not be easy though, the magnetic field generators that the Hellbore cannons included worked perfectly in controlling the Beano Plasma's envelopment of a planet. The Romulan magnetic field generators did not. The conversion for the MFGs was the crux of the problem. But soon, Drall thought. The Romulans were, after all, superior.

The helmsman turned to the Drall and whispered something that Drall could not hear. Drall put his hand to his ear in the intragalactic symbol of "I can't hear you." The helmsman then scribbled a note on a pad of paper which was standard issue at each station and head been recently installed on the Hydran ships. After writing furiously, he held up the note. "We are approaching the target, Sir!" it said. Drall nodded. The helmsman then, according to regulations, wadded up the piece of paper and ate it.

The cloaking devices were now working perfectly so there was no further need to test them. They had also arrived at a methane planet in a deep and secluded sector of Romulan space. No one would see. Accordingly, Drall hit the button marked DECLOAK on his command panel and started to give orders.

"Tactical, heat up the Beano. Helm bring us to within 15 kilometers of that planet. Science bring scanners to maximum." Drall ordered in a loud, clear and commanding voice.

Dr. Brookins ran over to his specially prepared science station. "I'm so excited I could plotz!" He exclaimed. "Years of work and weeks of the Romulans' kevetching! It has all been worth it! Nuts they called me on Earth. Hah! I'll show those goniffs. No one will ever laugh at the name Melvin Brookins again!"

"We are in range Commander." The Tactical Officer stated. "All is ready."

"Excellent. Firing point solution!" Drall ordered.

"Sir, a final firing solution has been loaded into the torpedo. It is on internal power." Tactical responded.

"Match bearings and shoot!" Drall ordered.

"Sir, firing the torpedo!" The ship shuddered and a ball of boiling hellfire streaked towards the planet.

"Torpedo fired magnetically!" Tactical advised. "It is running hot and true. Time to impact three seconds. Two. One. Impact!"

The ball of plasma struck the planet's outer atmosphere and instead of continuing to the surface it began to interact with the methane. The plasma spread quickly around the globe and once the planet was covered it ignited. The was no explosion, no blast wave, just the immediate combustion of the entire atmosphere in a large ball of flame. Drall could have sworn that he heard a quiet "whomp" sound, but he knew that was impossible. Minutes later the fire had burnt itself out and all that was left was a smouldered planet without any atmosphere at all.

"Report!" Drall ordered.

"I am a genius!" Brookins yelled. "No more stink!"

The irritated Science Officer glared at Brookins and then stated, "Sir, the mission is a success. The methane has been burned off of the planet with little to no loss of planetary integrity. This planet is ready for terra forming!"

It could take years to terra form a planet, Drall knew, but time, the Romulans had plenty of time. Besides the Hydrans would never fight for worthless rocks without atmosphere. The key to success would be a quick and silent strike. Even better since the Hydrans would have plenty of internal problems at the same time. Yes this would work!

Drall left the bridge and entered his ready room where he contacted SPQR HQ using a super secret encrypted line. His view screen activated and was quickly filled with the face of Kremen. Kreman leaned quite close to the camera and his entire face took up the screen. He then looked from side to side with suspicion to make sure no one was around in the empty room and whispered. "Report."

"The experiment was a success."

"Excellent, this meeting never happened."

"What meeting? Drall out."

Drall then returned to the bridge to hear Brookins still yelling with delight. He ran to Drall and pointed to the viewer. "Behold for now I become Death, the destroyer of worlds!" Brookins exclaimed maniacally.

"Correction, you have become Brahma the creator." Drall said with irony and then dismissed the fool.

"Ops!" Drall ordered. "We are superior! Play the music!"

"Yes sir, the Operations Officer stated as he hit the "Superiority Dance Music" button on his panel. The bridge then filled with the sound of a church organ playing a snappy tune and the Romulan Officers all stood and said as one "Well, isn't that special!" They then put their hands on their hips and started to dance in a strange way.

The present . . .

A fleet of Hydran warships formed near the border. Their Hydran crew busy making the final preparations on the warships whose atmosphere was now heavily laced with methane. A second fleet of Romulan warships were formed up just a parsec to the rear. There they also prepared. There they all waited.

ROAD TRIP!! 5 of 8
On Starbase 12, things were a tad less than military. New Age music was piping from the comms system and all of the Miraki warriors were either making love to females, discussing the evil of fascism, tye dying their uniforms, playing guitars, and/or smoking the new CatNip that had been brought in recently.

Captains M'Ress and Tempest were in the command center, alone and sitting on bean bag chairs. The hair on Tempest's hair had grown unusually long and he had it tied back with a bandana. They were both sharing a large CatNip burning water bong.

"Dude!" Tempest exclaimed. "This is some sweet stuff!"

"Ya mon" M'Ress said as he pulled his dread locks back and away from the flame of his lighter.

"Yo, bro. We gotta do something about our Mirak brothers out there being oppressed by their own bad karma. I mean, like, dude, they are like such downers. They need to learn the ways of love. Of beauty man."

"I here ya mon' just wait for me to get a little more smoke and then maybe a brew or two my brother."

"No M'Ress we gotta move now! How can we know peace while others are imprisoned by their own minds? My Cruiser is still parked out back. And we have loaded her holds with the good stuff. I say we go spread the love."

"Ya mean!"

"Yup!" Tempest confirmed with a smile and then they both yelled. "Road Trip!!!!!"

An hour later a Miraki Warship started to move away from Starbase 12. It's hull painted with psychedelic patterns and flowers. Within, Steppenwolfs' "Born to be Wild" started to blast from the comms systems.

"Get your motor running!" The mighty warship had cast off from the base and was now accelerating away. M'Ress and Tempest played air guitars on the bridge.

"Head out on the highway!"

The oddly painted ship set course for the nearest inhabit planet and continued to accelerate.

"Looking for adventure!"

M'RESS and Tempest both yelled "And babes!" while high fiving each other. They then returned to singing at the top of their lungs and dancing with their "guitars." At that point the "peace" ship went to warp.

And thus began M'Ress and Tempests' Excellent Adventure.

REUNION 6 of 8

"Battle stations! Captain tot he Bridge!" Bellowed the XO's voice from the Week Slayer's Comms system. Captain K'arbin jumped out of his bed and ran to the bridge. "Report!" he ordered.

"Captain on the Bridge!" the XO yelled. "Sir, long range sensors have detected three Miraki frigates. They are in pursuit of something and have requested our assistance.

"XO your are relieved."

"I stand relived."

"Helm set in an intercept course and engage, maximum warp."

"Aye, sir, my helm is moving to 156 mark 47. Propulsion at flank warp speed."

"Missile room, Bridge, load all silos with Type IV Claws and heat them up!"

"Sir intercept in ten minutes." Tactical advised. "My scanners now confirm three Miraki frigates in hunt formation. They are locked and loaded. I'm also picking up . . . Interesting."

"What is it?" K'arbin demanded.

"It's best if I show you sir, on viewer now 70% magnification."

The plasma screen at the front of the bridge changed it range of view and then showed a glowing shape moving through space. It looked vaguely like a large toothy smile. The Frigates were in hot pursuit. "What the hell is that?" K'arbin asked.

"Unknown." Replied the Tactical Officer. "But it is moving at warp and using a subspace field. I am also picking up tetryon emissions. Sir, if I didn't know better I'd say it was a cloaked ship with a malfunctioning cloaking device."

"Klingons!" K'arbin thought. I knew it had been too quiet for too long. "Helm, bring us to within firing range of that, that, smile."

At that point the turbolift doors opened and J'inn ran in. "What's going on?" He said gasping for breath.

"What are you doing here!" K'arbin yelled. "Get below!"

"Hey, I might be able to help. I'm on this ship too ya know. And thanks to your tinkering with my subroutines, I'm stuck here!" J'inn growled back.

K'arbin didn't have time for this, and thought perhaps it was best to have J'inn within his line of sight during an engagement. M'Raa knew what kind of mischief he could cause on his own. "Man the secondary senor position and keep out of trouble." K'arbin ordered.

"Yes yer majesty" J'inn said sarcastically. K'arbin let it pass. However, the rest of the bridge crew started to think of their families. "J'inn! On the bridge! During battle! M'Raa help us!" They thought as J'inn took his position and started to access the computer and sensor controls.

Just then the "smile" came to an abrupt stop. A golden globe of energy surrounded it and the one frigate that had been directly behind it slammed into the field. The field collapsed, but in doing so the front shield of the tiny warship failed and the excess energy from the field devastated its hull. The ship, was lucky enough to remain intact as it spun end over end forward as it fell out of warp.

"An ESG!" K'arbin yelled in shock. It must be a pirate. But no it was no pirate, for after the glare of the blast had dissipated K'arbin briefly saw a Lyran warship flicker into existence for a moment before being replaced by the "smile."

"Kzinbane!" J'inn yelled with anger and stood up. "Captain this is a matter of State Security I am assuming command!"

K'arbin drew his disruptor pistol and pointed it at J'inn. "The only thing you are assuming command of on this ship is that console Mister." He said menacingly. J'inn growled, reseated himself and started to scheme.

K'arbin then hailed the other ships who confirmed that it was indeed Kzinbane they were chasing. K'arbin marveled as one of the frigates used a transporter bomb to "flashbulb" the cloaked ship. As soon as the mine's explosive disruption canceled the cloak, both frigates unsheathed their claws. The four missiles slammed into the much larger catamaran hulled warship, taking out its aft shield generator as well as the cloaking device.

The Lyran then initiated a high energy turn, bringing all of her weapons to bear on the tiny frigates. In an awesome display of pure power, disruptor bolts and phasers beams sliced into the closest frigate. The anti-matter explosion as the ship went nova was impressive and saddening to the bridge crew of the Week Slayer. They were still too far away to be of any assistance.

The other frigate then broke off and veered towards the on charging Medium Drone Cruiser for protection. Plasma venting from her port nacelle the injured Lyran ship veered away and directly into a small asteroid field for protection. The Week Slayer and her new found escort charged in after her.

The battle within the asteroid field was ferocious. The ESG field protected the Lyran's hull from many of the missiles as did the asteroids. However, she was too wounded to escape. It was only a matter of time. Fifteen minutes later both the Week Slayer and her escort, which had now been identified as the MCS Slayer, had both suffered several internals and some of their shield generators had failed. The graceful Lyran warship was in far worse condition however. Her warp drive was offline and her shields were down. The only thing that was currently saving her from the fearsome waves of incoming claws was her point defense phaser banks, her defensive tractors and the skillful use of asteroids by her Captain.

"Tactical!" K'arbin ordered. "Switch weapons to disabling mode and advise the marine units to prepare for boarding. I want that ship captured intact. Also, inform the marines that Kzinbane is to be taken alive. That is a direct command order from the Patriarch!"

During the confusion no one had noticed J'inn typing furiously on the keyboard of his panel. K'arbin had been thorough in his purge of the Week Slayer's systems. But he had made one mistake. He had gotten too close to another Mirak vessel. And the shields were damaged on both ships.

J'inn entered the last keystrokes. Sweat dripped from his tongue as he panted. Finally, his screen flashed: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF MCS SLAYER ACCESSED. J'INN PROTOCOLS CONFIRMED AND ACTIVE. TELEMETRY WITH MCS WEEK SLAYER'S COMM SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZED. AUTO-DISCONNECT AND SCRAMBLE IN 30 SECONDS.

J'inn stood and with great formality said "Captain, permission to leave the ship." The helmsman breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? I don't have time for this. And no you cannot have a shuttle!" K'arbin stated.

"Oh, but I don't need no stinking shuttle!" J'inn said as he tapped his comm badge and stated: "Computer activate reverse J'inn emergency beam out. Energize!"

K'arbin yelled "Stop him!" too late as J'inn disappeared in a shimmering light.

Aboard the MCS Slayer, the Transporter Chief drew his disruptor and yelled into his panel "Intruder Alert! Security to the Transporter Room!" as his transport controls suddenly became active.

The poor man felt a mix of emotions as no other than the Minister of Information materialized a few meters before him. Relief that it was not a Lyran Commando Squad and dread that it was something far more deadly.

J'inn rushed down from the pad and yelled "Status report Mister!" The Chief started to report what little he knew when J'inn struck him forcibly in the stomach. The Chief doubled over and J'inn struck him again at the base of the skull. The Chief collapsed.

J'inn then checked the man's pulse. He was alive. He then relieved the Chief of his disruptor pistol. At that point two security warriors ran into the room. Upon seeing the Minister with a disruptor in his hand and the Chief on the floor they stopped in utter confusion.

J'inn noted they were quite young. "Warriors I need both of you to assist me in a matter of life and death. The Patriarch will reward your bravery. Take me to the bridge!"

The minds of the young warriors whirled. The Minister, way out here, on their little ship! But why was the Chief on the floor? They hesitated.

"I ain't got time for this!" J'inn stated as he shot the two soldiers where they stood, both of them too stunned to react. Luckily for them, J'inn hated it when Mirak died, he had seen it far too often in his career. The weapon was set on stun.

A few moments later J'inn entered the bridge of the MCS Slayer, disruptor drawn. The Captain and the three bridge officers all stood in shock. "Captain, this is a matter of State Security. I relieve you!"

Luckily for J'inn, Gook's "interference" with the Patriarch's Bounty Order had made it so the Captain had not gotten word of J'inn's status as a wanted KAT. The Captain was regular navy and not a member of the elite KAT unit. He was, therefore, scared to death of anything involving the whispered about Committee for State Security. He quickly, moved from his command chair and assumed the duties of an XO.

J'inn ascended the command chair. "Okay Dokey!" he said with glee while cracking is knuckles. "Man, its been a while. Let's see, first thing." He accessed the comms system. "This is J'inn, I have the conn!" he announced to the ships crew.

"Sir" the Tactical Officer yelled. "All but one of our life pods just jettisoned. The crew is abandoning ship."

"Oh don't worry about it buddy, happens all the time. You just lock out that last pod for me will ya." J'inn stated. "Besides these little ships are my favorite, I can fly one all by myself as long as the computer system is up and running."

Just then the Lyran warship came around from the far side of an asteroid and fired its disruptors at the Week Slayer. The bolts of pulsating energy slammed into her hull as her shield was down. The damage was not as bad as one would expect but her warp nacelles flickered and then went dark.

"Helm, bring us about and get us closer to that enemy ship at best possible impulse." J'inn ordered.

"Which heading sir?"

"Heading schmeding, just turn left and go at him as fast as possible."

"Errmm, my helm is moving to 239 mark 0 now sir, but umm, fast as possible? In an asteroid field?"

"Darnit, I know what I'm doing son. Step on it!"

With that the little warship banked to the left and speed at the crippled Lyran cruiser. When the Slayer was within point blank range, J'inn ordered an alpha strike. Two missiles and several banks of phasers slammed into the mighty ship. Multiple explosions erupted from her hull and her port nacelle tore away from her hull and headed, unfortunately, directly at the Slayer.

The impact was extreme and the entire bridge crew sprawled to the floor. J'inn and his crew looked up in horror to see that the Slayer was now spinning out of control and directly at a large asteroid. J'inn thrust his hand into his tunic pocket for his communicator. It was time to leave. It wasn't there! Then he saw it lying on the floor and few meters from him. At that point the rest of the bridge crew ran to the last remaining escape pod, which was the one for the bridge crew and jettisoned. They didn't even look twice at J'inn.

Aboard the Week Slayer there was chaos. Flames flashed from many of the bridge's stations and most systems were off-line.

"Sir, with our maneuvering ability down 60% we had best get out of the asteroid field now!" the Helmsman advised.

"Damn it to hell!" K'arbin yelled as he saw the Lyran ship begin to loose integrity. The Patriarch would kill him for failing to capture J'inn and Kzinbane alive. But he had to save his ship. That was his first duty. Always. "Make it so, helm!" he ordered and the damaged goliath slowly came about and started to leave the area.

The Lyran warship no longer looked like a ship at all. It was a burning wreck and escape pods were shooting out of it like angry bees leaving a burning hive.

Aboard the Slayer, J'inn grabbed his communicator and whispered a silent prayer. He hoped the computer systems were still functional. He also hoped the Week Slayer was still within transporter range. "Computer: J'inn Emergency Beam Out! Energize." And with that and with glee he felt the tingle in his spine.

It was not a easy job for the damaged computer. It knew it was doomed. Its only job now was to calculate the safest location with transporter range to drop its charge. There was just one problem. The Week Slayer was out of range as were all of the Mirak life pods. Only one thing remained. Just one chance to complete its duty before it died. And so, the computer directed the transporter beam to the selected location, reassembled J'inn's atoms there, and then died as the Slayer rammed into the asteroid.

Kzinbane had been the last to leave his dying ship as was fitting for a Lyran Captain. He was alone in his command escape module and he was the closest to the twin explosions of the Slayer and the mighty Lyran warship. The blast wave had dropped the shielding on his pod and he was valiantly trying to re-raise them before the radiation reached fatal exposure level. At that point he heard a faint hum and then saw a transporter beam flicker before him. He drew his disruptor as J'inn materialized, and before J'inn could even say "Oh Shi@!" he stunned the large Mirak who fell in a big, fat, white, furry ball on the floor. He then returned to his repairs.

It feels like an Enterprise moment.  But you misspelled "oh, boy".  ;)
