[5:42][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** There is no theme tonight. On an undisclosed floor of the Citadel, T’Pang finds herself before a set of secure, guarded doors. She had been informed that the Nirizean had insisted upon..
[5:42][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:speaking with her, which was convenient considering T'Pang had requested the same thing. Now she waited for a few members of her crew that had been recommended to attend with her as a woman in a..
[5:43][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Starfleet medical uniform worked at the nearby desk.*
[5:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"She wants to speak to us, thats curious.
[5:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"conveinient, I wish to speak to her as well.
[5:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "If you have any questions while we wait for the last one, please feel free to let me know.
[5:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Seems a little, sterile for a holding facility.
[5:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"What do you mean "last one/
[5:46][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin glanced around for this last one
[5:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "The last member of your group.
[5:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Oh.
[5:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "Oh, there he is. And yes, we've moved her down to biological quarantine, not that we assume she's carrying any agents, but to keep her isolated from her cluster.
[5:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he waited
[5:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a wise precaution.
[5:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "Well, if that's all three of you, then I'll let you in." *She hit the button to let the doors retract on a darkened room.
[5:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang cautiously enters-
[5:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila followed
[5:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The lights slowly raises in luminosity, though they remained dim. They could see an isolated box of force fields around the pale figure of the Nirizean Penance, sitting cross-legged in the center..
[5:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:of her cell, abyssal eyes unblinking.
[5:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang slowly approached the cell, making careful observations as she approached.-
[5:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin walked in after, glancing around the area
[5:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"You wanted to speak to us?
[5:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he addressed the Nirizean
[5:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She looked up then, focusing on Aquila.* "I wish to discuss the terms of my cluster's captivity.
[5:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is something we can discuss.
[5:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "These conditions are unsuitable. You will arrange for us to be together with unrestricted use of all of our senses.
[5:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"No.
[5:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he furrowed his brow at that
[5:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I will not be doing any of that. You will first have to convince the captain, then she will have to convince the admiral. And that will not be easy for her nor you.
[5:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is not our wish to inflict cruel and unusual punishment upon you and your people. But, you must understand we have no other means to maintain security.
[5:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he glanced at t'pang then back to the Nirizean woman
[5:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "I am well aware. However, you are well aware that my kind will die in these conditions.
[5:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes. I am aware.
[6:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She tilted her head slightly, then rose fluidly to her full height.
[6:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and it is something that Alliance medical teams are working on.
[6:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *A slight smirk played at her lips.* "You are overconfident in your own abilities.
[6:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "So... tell me What do -you- want from -me?-
[6:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What I want is details on what you did to Ryle.
[6:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "I had thought that would be quite obvious.
[6:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Your coopeeration will go a long way to getting you and your people better conditions.
[6:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She tilted her head to the other side now.* "Can you promise that?
[6:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"
[6:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"She is the only one that can.
[6:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i can't promose anything. Your fate is out of my hands. However, my recommendations will go a long way with command.
[6:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She looked at T'Pang and then Aquila, silent for an extended moment.
[6:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Let me see others of my cluster." *She then said simply.
[6:09][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Curious.
[6:09][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Your clusters, how are they assigned?
[6:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *her dark eyes glittered a moment, and her lips peeled back into an almost wolfish grin.* "For most...? Tanausans toss them together, assuming that a simple arrangement of Nirizeans..
[6:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:can compare to the organic and old bloodlines... like children attempting to recreate a symphony with sticks and rocks.
[6:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And your former master?
[6:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "She had the fortune to be given mine.
[6:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Even if oftentimes she did not even comprehend what she had been given...
[6:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she turns to Istrin-- "AS the receptionist to check in with her superiors. See if their biologocal quarantine prioceedures preculde the members of the cluster from even seeing one another.
[6:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"You kept your family together then.
[6:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Tell me is your loyalty to them... or to the imperium.
[6:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin nodded, stepping back outside to find the receptionist
[6:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "As we have for countless generations." *She then smirked again.* "The Imperium is a means to an end.
[6:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And what is the end?
[6:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang watches and listens curious to see where Aquila's line of questioning goes.-
[6:17][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin walked back over to the desk if possible* Excuse me
[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She considered this for a moment.* "It is difficult to describe in language.
[6:17][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "Yes?
[6:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Try.
[6:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[6:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She vaguely gestures around her.* "This mundane plane, the physical realm... it is the egg from which we must emerge, after sufficient incubation.
[6:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang raises and eyebrow.-
[6:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"So you seek to evolve and ascend.
[6:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"To what purpose.
[6:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "For our own. We do not belong here; these mundane issues are of no consequence to us.
[6:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And what is your own purpose, what do you do when you have left this existence?
[6:23][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:I'm unsure if you need to check in with your superiors for this but. The captain is wondering if the quarantine procedures will prevent others of their cluster from seeing one another
[6:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"And this effort to ascend does it require working for the Imperium?
[6:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Some of us go freely to the higher planes of thought and consciousness. Others are Chosen for other tasks if necessary.
[6:26][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "We'd have to get some higher approval for that, but if she thinks it is necessary... we may be able to make arrangements.
[6:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Chosen.
[6:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Interesting choice of word.
[6:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Does the name Morticia mean anything to you.
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She looked to T'Pang.* "We go where the Tanausans go.
[6:28][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:Excellent thank you for this information
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Names are meaningless to us. A mundane practice.
[6:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Perhaps. But they are useful for designations.
[6:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "I do not know any by that designation, then.
[6:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin reappeared and walked up to T'pang to whisper
[6:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"She is oneo fyour dark goddeses retinue,
[6:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "One of countless.
[6:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"One that helped deal with an alien race we dealt a grievous blow to and have seen nothing of them sense.
[6:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turns and nods to Istrin-
[6:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Most animals know to avoid the places where they have been kicked.
[6:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They called themselve sthe Chosen.
[6:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Highly psionic, clustered
[6:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *Her abyssal eyes glittered in the dim light.* "It is a natural configuration for those of our gifts.
[6:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is logical.
[6:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They not entirely corporeal.
[6:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "It allows for one to deal with the mundane world while the others can linger in realms of thought.
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She flashed a grin. Her teeth were unnervingly white and even a little sharp, now that they were looking at them.* "If you have something you would like to ask, merely ask it.
[6:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Your race is another form of that race isn't it.
[6:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"An earlier one.
[6:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i have a specific queswtion. We are going to begin tryin to treat Ryle. It would be far easier if you would divulge details regarind what you did to him. Ar at least details on potential pitfalls ..
[6:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:we may face in our efforts.
[6:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She gave Aquila an amused look before pointedly turning to T'Pang.* "In a manner which you would be able to comprehend... I rewired parts of his brain to make him do exactly what the..
[6:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"pardon me Mister Aquila.
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Imperium needed him to do, and be able to issue further commands.
[6:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded to t'pang
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Our medical people will want specific details on what parts of the brain were affected and how...in exchange for your cooperation i will see to arrangements for your to be allowed to see the member
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:of your cluster
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Your medical people will butcher his mind. It must be me, with the power of my cluster behind me.
[6:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang's eyes narrow.-- "What you are saking is not something that my superiors are likily to agree to.
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Then know this, T'Pang. Ryle Dyrellia suffers from the same condition that rendered his father an invalid.
[6:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "This condition is what made him our prime candidate. It allowed for easier control of his motor functions. You will not succeed at restoring him for any substantial period of time..
[6:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:without me.
[6:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stares at the woman as if trying to determine if she is lying or not.-
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I will see what I can do.
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She stared back at T'Pang.* "Very well.
[6:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"WHile the captain sees to that request. I think we can talk a little longer.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she nods to Aquila before turning and heading out-
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "What more would you wish to know, Marcus?" *She turned her abyssal gaze on him now.
[6:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"What i asked.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang exits the room, she leaned on the receptionists desk-
[6:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang exits the room, she leaned on the receptionists desk-
[6:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The species we know as the chosen operated very similiar to your little clusters. And killed a good friend of mine while attempting to abduct a child.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She considered this.* "We are of similar origin, but our lines diverged long, long ago. Before even the Dark Lady graced us.
[6:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I see.
[6:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Who do I talk to about the prisoner?
[6:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"If the imperium is a means to an end and you truly seek some sort of ascension, then betray them give us what we need to fight them.
[6:57][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "Well, the person on duty at present would be..." *She checked her PADD.* "...Cousins, ma'am.
[6:58][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you." --she said and walked away.-
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She inclined her head slightly.* "I cannot without speaking with my cluster first.
[6:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Because it is a decisin you must make together, surely you know you will never be rescued
[7:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And your future without a branch of cooperation to someone who doesn't give venus's cunt whether or not the prince survives. will go along way to seeing inconveniences removed.
[7:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang made her way to Cousins officer and stopped at her secretaries desk.-
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "I am aware of my current situation. Hence my cooperation in answering your questions." *She spread her hands.
[7:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am here to see Captain Cousins,
[7:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Secretary] *She looked up at T'Pang.* "Hold on." *She touched a button.* "Janice? T'pang's here.
[7:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Oh, what do they want now?!
[7:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Vaax keep watch.
[7:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Secretary] "You're on speaker, Janice.
[7:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he tapped his head.
[7:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang raised an eyebrow.-
[7:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "...Right. Send her in.
[7:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Secretary] "...Sorry. You can go in.
[7:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang heads into the office-
[7:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he quirked a brow suddenly
[7:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eirene 30 seconds drop salvation protocols
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Well, alright... if you say so!
[7:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I have a question one I am wanting you to full answer.
[7:04][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She stood up from her desk, motioning to the chair across the way.* "Hello. Sorry about that. Busy day. What can I do?
[7:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he walked toward the force field
[7:04][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang entered the office and approached the desk and stood-- "i need to discuss the status of the Nirizian prisoners. Specifically the one called Pennance and her cluster.
[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She stepped up to her side of the field so they were only a few feet away.* "Ask, then.
[7:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Did you enjoy her sadism, drinking of the pain of her victims?
[7:06][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Right, Nirizeans. The freaky pale ones with the black eyes. What about her?
[7:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Feelign their relief when death finally gripped them as the knife stopped?
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She met his gaze silently for a moment, then spoke simply.* "No.
[7:07][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin watched closely and listened carefully as ordered
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "But you wish for me to answer in full, yes?
[7:08][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we require her and her cluste to assist us in the treatment of Ryle Dyrellia.
[7:09][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Then enjoy this moment of senses i give you for being honest.
[7:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She inclined her head slightly, then spoke again.* "Do not be troubled, Marcus. That you can feel that shame means you are not like her.
[7:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded
[7:11][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She stared at T'Pang for a moment.* "You want the same woman who broke your boyfriend's brain to put it back together?
[7:12][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes. That is correct captain. The situation is such that she is likily the only one that can.
[7:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*as the salvation light turned back on he stepped back* Vaax question her on telepathic practices
[7:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And detection of intrusion.
[7:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he stepped out
[7:13][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She rubbed her face for a moment.* "There's no other way? You can't get the Avynei to... Avynei him back together? Or your doctor and some betazoids?
[7:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *Her shoulders dropped a little as salvation clicked back on.
[7:14][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"so far they have not been able to and they are reluctant to try for fear they will cause more damage.
[7:14][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i realize the gravity of what I ask captain.
[7:15][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She stared at the wall for a few seconds before turning back to T'Pang.* "You're damned lucky that we're on the Citadel, you know that? because there's nowhere else in the universe..
[7:16][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:where I'd even consider this request.
[7:16][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i consider myself fortunate.
[7:17][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Luckily for us... Eirene makes it about as secure as can be. So unless they start popping people's brains open within seconds, she'd be able to subdue them.
[7:18][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, I think we can make the situation more secure as well. If we use a secluded portion of the station and use holohgraphic guards.
[7:18][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "We'd have to bring Ryle to her in quarantine. I assume moving his biobed isn't an issue.
[7:19][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i would not be an issue, He is not conneected to anthing that can not be moved.
[7:19][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will make final preparations with my chief of security and my doctor.
[7:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She stared at T'Pang a moment longer.* "Don't let me regret this, T'Pang... but believe it or not, I'm a hopeless romantic. So I'll give you this one shot. Make it count.
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Penance stared at Istrin.
[7:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you captain, you have my gratitude.
[7:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Once final preparation are made I will send you a copy of the arrangements.
[7:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "See that you do... and pray Compton doesn't kick us both to ensign ranks for this.
[7:22][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Cheer up, theres still a chance to be with your cluster. *he offered
[7:23][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if it means saving Ryle it will be worth it for me. But, i would hate to see you suffer any punishment for aiding me.
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She smirked slightly.* "You think he was wrong, don't you?
[7:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Yeah, yeah... just get outta here before I reconsider.
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes captain.
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turned and left.-
[7:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "And captain?
[7:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Good luck." *She grinned.
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she stopped at the door and turned back-
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you captain.
[7:25][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wrong
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "That you were ready.
[7:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:What makes you think that
[7:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Because if you didn't you'd be even more of a fool than I thought when I first tasted your mind.
[7:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang entered the room-
[7:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She turned to T'Pang.* "You return.
[7:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang side eyed Istrin-- "You are supposed to be interrogating her Lieutenant.
[7:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin opened his mouth to say something but clamped it shut when T'pang entered
[7:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i have spoken to my superior officer and have received approval to allow you and your cluster to operate on Ryle Dyrellia.
[7:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "And in return, will we be allowed to leave our confinement?
[7:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Correct. Whether or not you are allowed to remain that way depends entire on your continued cooperation.
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "As I said, our interests lay not in your matters. We will depart from your station.
[7:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"oh I said nothing of anyone leaving the station.
[7:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We can't risk you and your people returing to your service of the Imperium.
[7:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *Her head tilted.* "So you remain our captors.
[7:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, but you will no longer being seperated from your people.
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "You have Tanausans prisoner, yes?
[7:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes.
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "We will need them, then. Likely soon.
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Need them for what?
[7:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *Her black eyes glittered.* "To feed.
[7:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin glanced at T'pang
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang seems particualrly disturbed by this.-
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "They do not feel a thing. Well. Will not, if we are not particularly starved when they are presented to us.
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Typically we live off of their residual... thoughts.
[7:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It is not our intention to detain you indefinitely, but as I said we need assurances that you will not return to Imperial service.
[7:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will address your feeding requirements and other conditions.
[7:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She gave a soft laugh.
[7:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"For the time being we are making arrangments for your and your cluster to occupy space in an unused portion of the station. You will be guarded by hologramsp and monitored by Eirene.
[7:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Solve the issue of feeding... and we will not need to return to the Imperium. That's what those weak-bloods who already joined you have found out the hard way, if they are even aware of.
[7:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:what has crippled them." *She then inclined her head.* "Very well.
[7:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will of course work on a solution.
[7:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "I already gave you one.
[7:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, and I will of course take that to my superiors.
[7:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang imagines how much Cousins id going to love this one.-
[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Your chains weaken you.
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Do you need anything further?
[7:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"No nothing further.
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Then I must rest." *She turned and went back to sitting on the ground.
[7:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will be moving you and your people as soon as proper arrangments have been made.
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Then do so.
[7:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turned and walked away-
[7:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as she walke dout she motioned for Istrin to follow her-
[7:46][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin followed
[7:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The door sealed behind them.
[7:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--outside the room she turned to Istrin-- "Lieutenant you are in charge of security arrangements. Coordinate with Eirene. We will need and unused portion of the station that will be secured an
[7:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:monitored by Eirene. Day to day security interactions with the Nirizeans will have to be with security holograms.
[7:49][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "T'Pang? I think Captain Cousins said to have Ryle brought here to the big quarantine room already set up?
[7:49][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if you feel you can sufficiently secure the area Eirene.
[7:50][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Keep in mind we have to release them from their cages..the whole cluster.
[7:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Hon, there's nowhere more secure than here with me. I can beam them out wherever you need them at a moment's notice, remember?
[7:51][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded
[7:51][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "And, um, this quarantine room was sort of built with a sterilisation protocol in place, too.
[7:52][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"My apologoize Eirene, there is a lot depending on this. I am understandably quite anxious.
[7:52][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Oh no, don't be sorry! You're under a lot of pressure, with Ryle and everything. I just want to help!
[7:53][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i appreciate any help you can give me.
[7:53][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i suppose there is no point in putting it off then. Lets get the Nirizean band back togehter.
[7:54][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:Captain, there's still the issue about feeding.
[7:54][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i know...
[7:55][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i sort of wish Nil was still around, I would willing throw him in with them.
[7:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Okay, well if you're ready, I can have the family reunion start on your order.
[7:55][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded* I'll work with Eirene on security ma'am
[7:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"LEt's go ahead and have the family reuinion. We will se how that works as I make feeding arrangments.
[7:57][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she nods to Istrin-
[7:57][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Okay... and... done! I'll keep an eye on them in there for you.
[7:57][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Eirene.
[7:58][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Perhaps you should start making arrangements about having Ryle moved?
[7:59][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I will of course work on that as well.
[7:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Okay!
[7:59][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turns and heads off to do stuff.-
[8:02][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin headed back to work on arrangements like a good zoid
[8:02][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang head off to find Dahli and tell her the good news.-
[8:02][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*coming out of a patient cube, looing a little haggard, Dali takes a breather from dealing with the overflow of patients
[8:03][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang wanders in and heads toward the good doctor.-
[8:03][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang wanders in to the correct channel and heads toward the good doctor.-
[8:04][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Good evening doctor.
[8:04][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"By what proof? .... sorry... long day.
[8:05][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"apologize doctor, i will be brief.
[8:05][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"What can I do for you Captain, considering you are calling me Doctor I assume it is official.
[8:05][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Alright, so anything in specific that you wanted done apart from what T'Pang asked, hon?
[8:05][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"There has been a development in Ryle's case.
[8:06][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm sorry, I've not been briefed, what is happening?
[8:07][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:I'm assuming we could station actual officers nearby if you'll be monitoring every second...this is correct
[8:07][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i have made a deal with the Nirizean we call Pennance. In exchange for her being allowed to be with her cluster again she has offered their aid in helping to treat Ryle Dyrellia.
[8:09][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "I will be monitoring, yes, but there's always risk involved. I'd suggest people who have strong mental training, just in case.
[8:10][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I was working on research that might be able to help with that if it starts getting out of hand. I think I might be able to simulate their being separated from Tanaussian overlords. Which cause
[8:10][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:their ability to fade.
[8:11][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, Pennance has mentione dtheir need to 'feed'.
[8:11][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin nodded* I had assumed others like me yes
[8:11][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "I'll see what I can do! We have plenty on the Citadel security team!
[8:11][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"what do you need me to do?
[8:12][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"At this point we just need to make arrangements to have Ryle moved to the isolation unit with the Nirizeaqns.
[8:13][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*pulling out a PADD, she makes the notes in his file to start the process* "They will start getting him ready to move, I'll go see to it he is handled well.
[8:14][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you Dahli. I am needless to say, quite anxious about this.
[8:15][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I understand, and time is essential of course. I'm glad you negotiated, but, I should tell you just keeping them separated from the tanausians will effectively nullify them, but it takes time.
[8:16][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right. Of course we can not be sure waht negative effects that may have on them.
[8:17][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"but, I suppose that is a discussion for a later time.
[8:18][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"It puts them into a mental distress, and eventual coma. It is an alteration to their minds intended to keep them under control. But if they are cooperative, and gain trust, I might be able t
[8:18][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:help them feed safely, with more research.
[8:19][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I see, let me know what you need for this research. Right now this is a high prioroty project.
[8:21][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*ansewring her PADD* "Ryle first, we will move him right away.. I have to go.* *she heads towards his cube
[8:21][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well and again thank you.
[8:22][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The nurses nod to Dali as she steps in, the biobed in mobile mode.
[8:23][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:THank you Eirene. *he carefully monitored the room as he worked
[8:23][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turns and heads off to update Cousins on the 'progress'-
[8:24][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Alright, still have yet to learn all passages and such... Eirene, are we walking Mr Ryle to the isolation ward or using transporter?
[8:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Istrin would see that the cluster, all six of them, were standing close to each other in complete silence.
[8:25][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "I can transport you there!
[8:25][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Pang passes Arfacio in the corridor, the little Italian captain grinning wolfishly.
[8:26][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Please do then Eirene, we are ready on this end.
[8:26][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Captain Arfacio, it is most agreeable to see you again.
[8:27][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Oh, wouldn't have been this soon if I had any say in it, but you know how it is. Invite one wrong guy to your briefing and suddenly your whole fucking operation is compromised when he..
[8:27][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:gets his ass kidnapped by Tannies.
[8:28][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"are you refering to the incident with the Manta?
[8:28][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Dali and Ryle on his biobed are transported out...
[8:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*And materialise in the little waiting room with Istrin by the double-barred doors.
[8:28][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Yep. Blaine was in that meeting I held with you and the others, remember?
[8:28][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mister Vaax... a pleasure as always. Where are we setting up?
[8:29][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, we have to assume the plans are compromised.
[8:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Yours sure were, and we're not gonna take our chances. Damned shame, too, I was about ready for something big.
[8:29][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:Inside that room there ma'am. *he pointed to the room where the goth party was a
[8:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "But you know what they say about making plans and cosmic entities laughing.
[8:30][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, I am assuming then you have altered your plans.
[8:31][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:"thank you ... are we clear to go in?
[8:31][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:I dont see why not ma'am
[8:31][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "For the time being, we've got other priorities. Speaking of, I need to get going. Chat later, I'll bring the cigars.
[8:31][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "You should proooobably wait for T'pang, though?
[8:32][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...right. Nice chatting with you.
[8:32][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking at the team* "You heard her, we are on standby till the captain gives clearance.
[8:32][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*And as quick as she's appeared, she was gone.
[8:34][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang enters Cousins office-- "Is the captain available?
[8:35][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Secretary] *She looked up and her face dropped a little as she saw it was T'Pang again.* "Uh... I think so.
[8:36][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Secretary] *She touched the button.* "Ma'am, you're on speaker, it's T'Pang again.
[8:36][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "...Send her in." *she sounded tired.
[8:37][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--She went in and agains tood in front of the desk-- "i don't mean to be a bother captain, but I wanted to give you an update.
[8:37][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She swiveled her chair over.* "Let's hear it.
[8:38][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We have reuinited the Nirizeans and have made arrangements to have Ryle Dyrellia brought to them.
[8:38][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Alright.
[8:39][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "But, this isn't a comm call... so I assume you have something else to ask of me.
[8:40][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"However, Pennance has infomred me that they require Tanasaunans to feed on. Apparently, as some means of control the Nirizeans require the Tanasausan stray thoughts to 'feed' on or they slowly grow.
[8:40][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"weaker and eventually fall into a coma.
[8:41][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "...Feed on." *She repeated slowly as she mulled over T'Pang's words.* "So you're telling me the Nirizeans are goddamn psy vampires?
[8:42][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Something like that captain. Doctor Dalliance seems to think that its a control mechanism introduced by the Tnasauans to ensure the Nirizeans always need them.
[8:44][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She looked off into the distance for a moment.* "Does it harm the Tannies at all? Anything permanently debilitaring? They're just nibbling stray brain crumbs?
[8:45][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i can't say captain. My doctor Dalliance is looking into the matter to see to it that we can feed them safely.
[8:46][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Then look into it and get back to me. You can just call in if it's good news.
[8:46][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "And I think it's pronounced Delancey, T'Pang.
[8:48][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] "Now... why are you in my office and not getting Ryle's head straightened out?
[8:49][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right of course captain
[8:49][DOIC3]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she turns and leaves.-
[8:49][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Cousins] *She shooed her with her PADD.
[8:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *A few fingers twitched very slightly.
[8:51][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin eyed Ryle twitching
[8:51][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali checks the monitors for any changes
[8:51][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang entered the room-- "oh Doctor Delancey, you are here already. Sorry to keep you waiting.
[8:52][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang goes over to Ryle's bedside and give his hand a gentle squeeze.-
[8:53][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The twitching stops.
[8:53][DOIC2]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Studying the redouts* "There is already some change being this close to them I think... I'll keep an eye on his sedation to be sure he is not harming himself.
[8:53][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will remain with him as well.
[8:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Receptionist] "Should I unseal the doors now?
[8:55][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes please.
[8:56][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The doors parted, revealing the large quarantine chamber where Penance and her cluster were standing with one another, all staring at them with black eyes.
[8:57][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang holds Ryle's hand as his bed is moved into the room. She looks at the Nirizean cluster with some tredidation.-
[8:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "Welcome back, Captain." *She seemed much more alert than she had been when T'Pang had left her.
[8:59][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia is monitoring via the PADD his bio responses with an eagle eye as the team sets him up for the proceedure.
[8:59][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do you need anything in paticular form any of us?
[8:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do you need anything in paticular form any of us?
[9:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "No." *She walked over to Ryle's biobed, the other Nirizeans following behind her, their footsteps like whispers even on the metal flooring.
[9:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The nurses set up the biobed and then quickly retreat from the goth kids.
[9:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stays by the bedside, holding Ryle's hand.-
[9:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She came to stand just behind Ryle's head.* "You've reunited our cluster. Now see how we are willing to cooperate." *She extended her hand to hover just a few inches above Ryle's face.
[9:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He twitched very subtly as the sedation kept him otherwise still. His eyes could be seen moving a little behind his eyelids.
[9:05][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Marking the response, and cause, she studies the subjects by activating the tricorder to monitor and record Penance as well.
[9:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Interesting, she speaks quietly to not disturb, but get it on the recording* "They are are working in concert, sharing the load.
[9:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *Her fingers danced a little in the air, remaining silent and focused before she withdrew her arm.
[9:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang watched her the whole time-
[9:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "It's done. I've restored what I can... but be aware. He will still remember.
[9:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] "That is damage I cannot repair.
[9:12][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"The symptoms have reduced. I expect him to come out of the coma naturally, but he will still need treatment for his underlying condition that both the attack and the cure have made worse.
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I understand. He is also going to need counseling and time.
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she turns to Pennance and the other Nirizeans-- "thank you.
[9:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"No, Tpang, he has a genetic condition, degenerative. I will work on a cure, and begin treatment as soon as possible.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She looked at T'Pang. There was almost a hint of pity in those black eyes.* "I hope this proves we are not your enemies.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--to Pennace-- "This will of course go a long way to prove that.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Penance inclined her head.* "Then do not forget to feed us." *She and her cluster went back to the center of the room.
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looks at Dahli-- "i know doctor, i was refering only to the trauma from the things he was made to do when under control.
[9:22][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** And with that, T'pang and friends took Ryle back to the medical center, knowing that his recovery was only just beginning... and other matters would soon steal their attention. *
[9:22][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Credits roll. *
