*He entered and sat down on a rock.* "And now we wait..."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:31 PM

*He entered and sat down.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:44 PM

*After a while he spoke.* "They sure are tkaing their time..." *He pressed a button on his chest, showing all the happenings on the ship.* "Well, they are coming... slowly..."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:45 PM

“They are taking there time because they are being tactical.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:46 PM

*He shrugged and swiped, showing the planet and orbiting ships.* "Wonder how tactical they are against that." *There were 9 cruisers in orbit, all cloaked.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:48 PM

“If you want to destroy them why lore them here where the federation will search the planet and find out you did this? Why not destroy them where they are?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:49 PM

"You heard of the Hirogen? They were all about the hunt. I don't dislike a little hunt of my own every so often."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:50 PM

“So you want to play with them? Make them chase you so you are the center of there attention?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:50 PM

*He chuckled.* "Oh, they aren't chasing me, they are chasing you."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:51 PM

“I so wish I chose to stay out side now.” *He mumbled.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:55 PM

"The Hag'rec would've gotten you in several minutes. They simply fear our species when we are one to one, but two? We're lucky we aren't dead already."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:57 PM

“Do you always have to talk?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:58 PM

"It was custom to my people to talk before battle."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 04:01 PM

“Well you should get a new custom.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:05 PM

[D] *Timeskip go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

*He looked in the distance, seeing the away team.* "Looks like the cavalry is here..."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 04:07 PM

“Good about time, any last requests?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:09 PM

"I could ask you the same, but if you really must know." *He leaned against the side of the cave, looking at him.* "How about you explain when you became a luitenant?" *He gestured to his pips and picked the one up that was at the entrance.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 04:11 PM

*He looked at the pip and did a fake surprised look.* “Wow looks like a dodgy pip the quarter master is in trouble.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:13 PM

"Really?" *He scanned the pip and gave a scanner to a guard who then left.* "He's gonna look if there were any more 'dodgy pips'" *He sat back down next to him.*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:30 PM

[D]*The makonian entered and handed the pip back to Kal'cech, he then whispered something to him before he stood guard at the entrance.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 04:32 PM

“Do I want to ask what he told you?” He just looked at the man and stood up.\*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:33 PM

*He chuckled a bit.* "A small group, they send down the 3O with some others. Apparently your doctor is among them." *He smiled.* "Start defence protocol Delta, make it swift."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:37 PM

[D] *The makonian nodded and placed a device at the entrance and started it up. After a few seconds the entrance became a solid wall, or so it seemed. He then pressed a button and the outside became viable again.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:37 PM

"One way holograms, very useful." *He smiled and looked through the hole.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 04:38 PM

“My officers are smart enough to figure that out it won’t stop them.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:39 PM

"It'll buy us enough time." *He drew a blaster and started to power it up, it glowed a hot red giving a soft buzz.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 04:58 PM

*He looked through the rock, seeing the team. He aimed and fired once, a bullet going through the field.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:00 PM

*Jammie looked at him* “No!”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:02 PM

*He smiled.* "I hit no-one, besides, I have different plans." *He pointed the pun to Jammie.* "Up you get, chop chop."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:02 PM

((Gun\*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:02 PM

*Jammie stood up and looked at him* “So you are going to kill me?@

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:04 PM

"Depends on them, really." *He walked towards him, placing a hand on his shoulder.* "Do you feel safer, now that your crew is here?" *He patted his back.* "This'll be an interesting fight." *He looked at the guard.* "Start Charlie procedure."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:04 PM

[D] *He nodded and pressed a button.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:06 PM

“I will feel safer once they stun your ass.” He looked at the guard\* “What is Charlie procedure?”

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:07 PM

[D] *a bit of debris fell down.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:08 PM

"That is..."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:09 PM

“What was that?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:12 PM

"Protocol Charlie." *He smirked a bit.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:20 PM

*He nodded.* "They had enough, time to get this over with." *He pointed his gun at Jammie.*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:21 PM

[D] *The makonian deactivated the device, a forefield was put up around Jammie and Kal as the hologram and the shakes stopped.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:22 PM

*Jammie looked at the entrance as it opened* “In here!”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:24 PM

"Yes you are, and quite secure at that." *He shot the field, showing a box around them.* "Level 12 forcefield, you are here, but you are secure and not going anywhere."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:25 PM

“Well until they disable it and shoot you.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:27 PM

*He chuckled and waved his hand, the guards put away their weapons and simply stood at attention.* "With the generator cloaked, I wish them good luck..."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:30 PM

*he comes hin, leaning against the wall and shoots the first makonian that came in sight*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:30 PM

[D] *He was unarmed! You monster! So is the other one.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 28-Nov-20 05:31 PM

[D] *The forcefield is up but the generator is cloaked*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:32 PM

*He looked at Jason.* "Ah, welcome! Please, come in!" *He smiled at him, putting his gun away.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 05:33 PM

*Jordon entered and aimed his phaser at the other guard.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:35 PM

*he smirks* "Well, here we are. I see you already raised your shield, i wonder why you are hiding?"

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:36 PM

"What is a good fight without a chase? Now, why don't we get to the point. You aren't here for me, but for him, correct?" *He gestured to Jammmie.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:36 PM

*He looked at Jason* “The generator is clocked blow up the room an destroy the generator.”

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:36 PM

"And by doing that burrying us all."

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 05:37 PM

*Sa'val, still carrying Hugh, took up a position opposite of the preceding two and covered his corner.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 05:37 PM

*Rownan follows since Hugh is stable and such he sees the Lizard man and Walker. It’s a rescue!* (edited)

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:38 PM

“I meant blow it up with you guys out side Jason.”

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:39 PM

*Max held one of the pulse charges in his hand, waiting on orders*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 05:40 PM

"Good to see you alive, Captain." *Tim allowed himself a sigh of relief. Thankfully it hadn't gone 'tits up,' so to speak.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:41 PM

"Now now, let's think this through for a minute. If you do that, I'll simply lower the field and we'd both die. I don't care if I die, but you do die if he dies." *He smiled and drawed his rifle and pointed it at Jammie.* "I could just, you know." *He flicked his gun in a shooting manner.* "Pew, no more captain."

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:41 PM

"I can limit the damage the charge does to the chamber... Or we could bounce soundwaves off the walls and find the generator that way?" *He suggested* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 05:42 PM

*Sa'val turned to Max and nodded slightly, letting him know that he should do what he could to find the generator without telling the hostage taker their plans.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:43 PM

“Believe it or not this still is not my worst birthday.” *He looked at the Lieutenant.* “When you are ready”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 05:43 PM

*Tim frowned, stepping forward to speak- that was partially why he'd volunteered.* "You're bluffing- you know as well as I do there's nothing to be gained by either party in this matter, if you did kill us. I'm not a telepath or a mind reader. I'm a lawyer. No one ever shows their full hand in a gambit."

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:44 PM

*Grinning, he began setting up a charge. At the same time, taking out a device that looked oddly like a detonator but with a satellite dish type top, bouncing soundwaves off of objects to locate the generator*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 05:44 PM

*Sa'val remained silent, obviously letting Tim take command now.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 05:44 PM

*Jordan looked at the Captain keeping his phaser pointed at the guard.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:45 PM

*he carefully scans the surrounding makonians telepathically and the captain as well*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 05:46 PM

[D] *~~Your generator is in another castle!~~ The generator was in the corner behind the duo in the field box, though it wasnt pinpointed exactly.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:48 PM

*Max dropped his device, taking the chance to examine the barrier between them.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:48 PM

*Jammie looked at them before nodding and turning around punching the guy and reaching for his phaser.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:48 PM

*"Sa'Val, one of the field boxes is what we need to blow up."* *he doesnt make a face and looks to Cetack*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:49 PM

*He layed his weapon on his hip with a loose grip, facing the team.* "You can do anything: Kill me, deactivate the field, I could kill you with one simple command, but I won't." *He sighed and tapped the field, it sizzled a bit. He got hit and turned to Jammie, hitting his neck. There was a cracking sound as he hit him.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:50 PM

*Jammie stubbles backwards and fell to one knee as he held his thought.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:50 PM

*He looked around the room for any device drawing power besides the barrier.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 05:50 PM

*Tim clenched his fists, but remained calm.* "Step onto the other side of this barrier, I'll show you just how *diplomatic* I can be." *To those who **had** telepathy, it was evident that he was furious.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 05:53 PM

"Engineer, I need you to be able to find a way to get a shaped charge to penetrate that field box and bring it down...any way you see to do that?" *Sa'val called to Max.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:54 PM

*He kicked him to the ground before he turned to them.* "I made a promise to my people before they all died. I made a promise to kill any starfleet officer I saw. But you people, you were different. You didn't wan to fight, you wanted to explore. I was intrigued but decided against it and monitored you for months." *He pressed a button showing everything what was happing on the Odyssey via a holographic projection.* "I know everything about you people, you have yet to know anything about me. You don't know my purpose, where you are, what you mean to me." *he sighed.* "You are nothing, just specs in an endless universe. So am I. So is anyone. So killing *him* won't do anything, right?" *He placed a foot on his head.* "Right...?" *He sounded certain, maybe over confident.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 05:55 PM

"Piercing that? Without proper equipment that's a no go. Though... there is another way." *He walked over to another device fixated to the wall, He didn't understand it's technology but frankly it didn't matter. He began to tinker with the wires. Anyone who'd played with an open circuit would understand what he's doing. Shortcircuiting the system.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:55 PM

*Jammie put his hands on the mans foot and pushed as he was speaking.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 05:56 PM

"Well, not like we didnt notice you were watching us." *he grins a bit*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 05:56 PM

*Jordan looked at the fight and watched him out his foot on jammies head*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 05:56 PM

*Tim unzipped his jacket, then drew the M1918 trench knife from a small sheath on his chest. It may have been against regulation, but it was a family heirloom, and he always carried it.* "Why not try stepping up to someone who can fight back? I promise, I'll make sure not to get any blood on your scales."

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:56 PM

*He stepped back and circled around him,*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:57 PM

*Jammie rolled over and tried to stand up*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 05:57 PM

"You amuse me Tim, a knife will simply damage you more then it would damage me." *He let Jammie stand up to give him a chance.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 05:59 PM

*Jammie stood up and looked at him* “This use to be a lot easier when they were not lizards.” *He then charged at him driving his shoulder into his “waist”*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 05:59 PM

"Care to put that theory to test? I might get hurt, but I'll make sure you'll get the worst of it. You claim to know about humans, but keep this in mind: "We don't know when to quit. We don't believe in no-win scenarios." *Tim was ready to fight, but he hoped his bluff wasn't called.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 06:00 PM

*He taped two wires together, using a pair of pliers to stop himself from getting shocked. Forcing the overload in intensity to travel through the device, through the circuits and back to the generator.* (edited)

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 06:00 PM

*He catched the driving and held him by the shoulder, squeezing in them with quite some force.* "Tim, if you wanted to die earlier, you should'ce said so."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 06:00 PM

[D] *The generator backfired and gave max a shock.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 06:00 PM

*Jammie fell to the ground and let out a loud scream from the pain*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 06:01 PM

*The shock was contained by the pliers, though he dropped them as the insulating handles didn't protect him from everything.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:02 PM

"Oh, if you asked me a few months ago, I'd have been fine dying- I had nothing to lose. Now? Now, I have people who care about me, and who I care about. That just gives me an edge- reason to keep going..." *His legs were shaking a little bit, but he maintained his posture. All he had to do was stall for Max to continue his job. Keep the conversation going...*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:02 PM

*With the generator backfired, the shielding is likely down. However, Sa'val is towards the rear of the group and unable to get a clear shot at the hostage taker.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:03 PM

*Jordan jsut watched it back fire as he heard his friend scream* “Can’t we just shoot the thing?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 06:04 PM

*He eyed tim with a smirk.* "I'll see you soon then..." *He made cups out of his hands and hit jammie on each side of his head so he fell over, he then placed a foot on his head.* "2399 becomes 2398. One. By. One." *He gave some pressure, slowly.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 06:04 PM

*jason raised his rifle and switched to a concussion shot at full strength and fired Cetack right where the solar plexus would be*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 06:04 PM

[D] *the shot ricochet against the field.* (edited)

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 06:05 PM

*Jammie gave a loud scream that just stoped abruptly.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:06 PM

"You son of a *bitch!*" *Tim rushed to the barrier, the brass knuckles on his trench knife making contact with it consistently- it may have been in vain, but it was the only way to let out both the grief and the anger that he was stricken with.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 06:06 PM

*he picked up his pliers and with renewed determination set to shortcircuit the generator. Crossing multiple wires to fry it, splicing parts of the circuitry to avoid the same thing happening again.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 06:08 PM

*A cruch was heard and he stopped giving pressure with a smirk, turning to them.* "One, by, one." *He pressed a button and the field lowered, letting Tim at him as he looked down at him, holding the hand with his knife.* "A nice knife, family heritage?" *His eyes pierced through him. He didn't care if he would die or not, his goal was fullfilled.*

1

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:10 PM

*The brass knuckles on the knife made contact- Tim, a former recreational boxer, had more than enough experience to cause pain with this knife; it'd been through two World Wars and various other conflicts. With a cross, he pulled back, hoping to slice the Makonian with the knife-edge.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 06:11 PM

*he saw red but didnt switch to lethal as he aimed the rifle at the standing by makonian and shot him the concussion shot basically into the throat*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 06:11 PM

*He smiled as he took the stab, not a care in the world. He grabbed Tim's shoulder and pressed down with his nails, cutting into it before he was shot, a smirk still on his face as he was knocked out.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:12 PM

*Jordan ran over to Jammie and turned him over*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:12 PM

*Tim let out a scream, the blood from his claws dripping out a bit as he used his other hand to stab him back with a rush of adrenaline.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:13 PM

*Jordan stoped his phaser and sat down before looking up to @Lt. Sa'val Stryker shaking his head*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 06:14 PM

*He let go of the shoulder.* "A scar to remember me by once I join my people. You challenged me, the concequences are yours."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 06:15 PM

"We never challenged you, you brought this upon yourself." *he stands up*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:15 PM

*Sa'val watched Jordan, and his jaw set as he realized what that meant.* "Commander. The battle is over. Your target is unconscious now. Jordan, if you would, please...collect the Captain." *His voice is curt since the hostage taker evidently went unconscious per the description earlier.* "Commander, grab the unconscious Malkonian." (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 06:16 PM

"Now, what is with the odyssey?" *he looks to Sa'val*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:17 PM

*Tim stepped back, blood dripping from his shoulder, furious, but the pain clouded his vision a bit.* "I... battle is..." *He fell to his knees, gripping his shoulder- he could easily kill the Makonian, right then and there- it would be easy. Like breaking a twig. But he didn't. He reached for him, lifting him up.* "Next time... it's open season on you, fucker..."

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:17 PM

*Jordan nodded to the Lieutenant and waited for further orders.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:17 PM

"Doc, see to the Commander."

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 06:18 PM

*He watched this unfold. He slowly began to set charges around the room. He was silent, he'd failed.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:18 PM

"Jason, Engineer, get us started on a way out. We will notify the Athena once we get out of the cave and we will transport up."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 06:20 PM

*he nods and heads out of the cave*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 06:20 PM

"Yes sir." *He replied, following Jason.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 06:26 PM

*Tim removed his vest, now riddled with holes, and his red Command shirt, revealing the sleeveless gray undershirt he wore against his skin. Panting, he approached the doctor.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:40 PM

*Sa'val hefted Hughes slightly, the weight on his shoulders no longer entirely from the unconscious Petty Officer.* "Jordan, let us take our...casualties outside for ease of transport." *His voice nearly broke at the utterance, but he remained in control as he walked outside.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:41 PM

*Jordan stood up and picked up his phaser before taking jammies combadge and putting it in his pocket.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 06:42 PM

*A ton happened (so need to read it all) and Rownan was in shock with everything that went down. He shouted when Walker was hurt and suddenly went quiet. He wanted to rush over and hurt the man who killed Walker but that was taken care of. Of course he went over to Walker and saw that he really was dead and didn’t have time to hide the tears that stung and fell from the corners of his eyes.* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 06:44 PM

*Sa'val re-entered the cave and ensured the unconscious Cetack was subdued properly. Once done, he considered the proper way to transport the 7-foot Malkonian.* "Time to leave, Doctor." *Sa'val decided to drag the subject by his legs and exited the cave again, the head of the hostage taker bouncing off of rocks on the floor occasionally.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:44 PM

*Jordan looked at the doc an put his hand on his shoulder* “Come on Doc, let’s get him back home.”

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 06:51 PM

*He nodded still silent and upset and couldn’t believe that the Captain was dead but he gave the order and Walker was beamed aboard the ship.* (edited)

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:53 PM

*Jordan watched his friend be beamed away* “44.” *He just stood there.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 06:58 PM

“Sir?” *He asked wondering what 44 meant.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 06:59 PM

*He looked at the Doctor* “That’s how old he turned today.” *He turned and left to join the rest.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 07:01 PM

*When everything from his medkit was packed he too walked out with Jordan to join the rest outside the cave. So much for an awesome birthday.* (edited)
