*The Republic team board the Goliath and start prepping to leave.*
*Wade motions for the team to get on the shuttle... They miss the alert that James Jr woke up. Casval sits and waits there focused on the mission at hand. Putting off Mila as something for later. When the shuttle disembarks the ship they signal the Goliath to proceed into the operations area. *
Wade: Casval... Give me the run down on the planet..
Casval: *Opens his terminal and sets up the image for both teams to see.* Yes Sir..
As you can see we have the class M planet and the camp on the surface. As far as we can tell they are prepped to leave as soon as they hear trouble. As a matter in fact the reason we are doing this under cover, is because this area is a combat zone. There are still patrols and skirmishes here daily. The next patrol is within the next 96 hours.
Wade: Any defenses?
Casval: Given the loose nature of the camp I would suspect tempoary defenses and patrols. They need to be packed and ready to move. Their landing zone is off along the lower ridge. It gives them the high ground. I suggest the Goliath take the path to drop their team in the back and proceed to give air support via flare. The landing zone for the shuttles is the target you want to knock out. Our shuttle will have to land and hide our shuttle here...
*He circles a selected rock grouping.. *
We will have to fly low to avoid detection but it gives us time to get there.
Wade: Anything else?
Weston: Should our team wait for you to met up with us after insertion or begin the assault immediately?
*The Reoublic team is getting ready with phaser rifles and personal shields.*
Wade: Assault when we all in position.
Weston: Understood.
*The Goliath and Federation Shuttle arrive at the dissident base, the Goliath swooping in against the front door, firing it's ZPCs and ZPB to clear a landing zone. Inside, the Away Team hear phaser blasts hit the shield.*
Weston: Get ready.
*The team arm their phaser rifles and activate their personal shields.
Cavern. M Dani hears the firefight outside and signals her two guards over to her.*
M Dani: Get the ship ready. We're leaving.
Guard: Yes Ma'am.
Dissident: What about us?
M Dani: You wanna get out of this? Win.
*The Transport finally clears a sufficient landing point and lands, the away team disembarking from a side hatch and securing the immediate vicinity.*
Weston: Team R to Team S, we're on the ground.
*Cassi however points a phaser at M.Dani as do the rest of them at her... *
Cassi: I have a better idea, you get them out like was arranged... and then we can win... The point was to have us vacate and rendevous with the rest of them at a secure location. Besides I was pretty sure this was going to happen.
Set the surprise up...
Dissident 2: Cassi are you nuts? It will kill us too...
Cassi: Probably if we do not make it a point that we need to focus on the plan.
*She knows M.Dani appreciates this kind of deception.*
*The Federation team surpises some of the dissidents by coming in from the opposite way... *
Wade: I read you Commander... we are just about in position so get ready to move on the compound.
*Sasha as the teams reach the camp find some resistance but notices something amiss... There are not as many dissidents as thought...*
Casval: *Shooting a dissident and another that tried to knife him.* They are up to something.. they have to be.
Cassi: Little Casval look at you... All grown up and still trying to impress daddy are we?
Casval: I have no need for his praise Cassi... Though its not like you would know coming from a traitor.
Cassi: Oh.. Such strong words, look at you... Passing yourself off as strong resourceful and ruthless. I doubt you could pass that off. You wouldn't hurt a fly..
*She fires a phaser at him and misses as he pulls a trick out of his belt.. It was a Hologram...*
Casval: *As he appears again* What did you think I would stay there and let myself get shot? Please. That is for simpletons. You have to find me.
*She fires again and the Hologram vanishes again.*
*Casval hiding behind rocks shifts from his postion with a rifle ready and sets it up. He does not see his sister entering the fray...*
*The Republic team stealthily get into positions behind Cassi's group, Weston tapping Mila on the shoulder.*
Weston *whispering*: As soon as they're down, go for your sister. We'll cover you.
*Mila nods and takes aim. As the flurry of blue phaser bolts rush out at Cassi's people from behind, Mila chases Cassi into an adjacent chamber, grunting as she tackles Cassi down, rolling over and holding her pistol to Cassi, as she does the same, the two in a stand-off.*
Mila *hateful*: It's just you and me, sister.
*OOC: What do you say to these two fist-fighting it out?*
*OOC: Perhaps, though I do want to show off someone's growing ruthlessness. You do have to admit that Casval's trick was a good one.*
*Cassi looks at her inquisitively...*
Cassi: Bee in your bonnet? Mila? Or did you **** things up for yourself? Or did Casval manage to purposely drive you here to deal with me. Cowardly kid.
*She notices that she is hitting the right buttons. *
What is wrong? Did I kick a puppy or did you take personally what I did to the Enterprise?
*Her pistol still drawn on her.*
*Unaware to both of them Casval is cursing his sister's impulsivness... As he finds the nearest corpse and recalls the layout... He begins rigging the roof of the chamber with photon grenades. *
Casval: Sorry Mila...
*Two more dissidents try and make for him he shoots both on a quick draw. *
But I have to interupt this cat fight... In a moment.
*Mila growls before kicking Cassi's phaser out of her hand, ditching her own before hitting her sister with a series of hooks, followed by a push kick to the ground. Mila quickly takes her jacket off and glares at her, getting into a stance.*
Mila *hateful*: Get up, traitor!
*Meanwhile, Weston is covering the door Mila went through, before seeing what Casval is doing and tapping his combadge.*
Weston: Weston to Team F, why are you rigging the roof to cave in on us?!
*He shoots a couple of dissidents with a quick movement of his rifle.*
*Cassi gets up smirking...*
Cassi: What no response?
*She throws a haymaker that catches Mila off guard and she hits the floor... Cassi kicks her once and picks her up. She throws her into a wall. *
Come on... or is James going to pop through the door next.
*Weston's comm to Casval is heard *
Casval: Look Commander I know what I am doing, and its not going to bring the cavern on her.
*Weston sees dissident fighters coming in...*
*That really sets Mila off, as before Cassi knows it, Mila's knee is in her phase, followed by an uppercut and a straight kick. Mila breathes heavily, before spearing Cassi to the ground and punching her relentlessly.
Outside, Weston sees the dissidents and the Republic team take cover to start taking them out in a crossfire.*
*Cassi whips a knife out and cuts Mila badly across the abdomen, then whips it back across Mila's cheek... Then Mila realized Cassi was holding back. *
Cassi: What no James? Where is the dog?
*Mila hears a little voice in her head say, "Out of the way Mila." *
*Mila dives out of the way, grunting as she reaches for her ankle sheath in case nothing happens.*
*The ceiling above them explodes pinning Cassi under rubble and knocking Mila out by tossing her into a wall. Casval descends into the cavern, he muffles the sound from the room with a forcefield... He checks on Mila and finds her out cold... Cassi on the other hand is groaning in pain...*
Casval: Surprised Cassi?
Cassi: You *******!!!
Casval: James was caught in those bombs Cassi... This is not personal. It is only business. Your problem is that you did this for personal reasons didn't you..
*Cassi looks at him hatefully...*
Casval: I thought so. So you know he didn't actually.
Cassi: You liar! *she cries out agonized*
Liar!!!
*He turns away from her and lifts Mila up and turns off the forcefield muffling the sound. He notices a rock barely holding things up... He goes to it with Mila in tow and smacks it with his rifle. The cavern behind him caves in and crushes Cassi. The door opens behind Weston showing Casval and Mila barely coming around...*
Casval: She is fine Commander, *The dogfight is raging above them*
I see they are going to high tail it.. That means there is probably something else going on here...
Weston: Where's your sister?
Casval: Cassi? Dead... Crushed under the rubble, no way to get her out without caving the entire thing on top of me and Mila.
*He puts Mila down where he can see the slash marks and particularly bad one.*
Knife wounds... Should be easy to tend to.
*Wade and company search around the main complex and find nothing just the command bunker rigged with a device. *
Wade: Sasha what is that thing in the middle of the table?
Sasha: *Taking a tricorder out and scanning it eyes widening..* Its a tri-cobalt device rigged to blow in about 15 minutes.
Wade: *Tapping his combadge* Weston and all surviving away teams get back to the shuttles. Then get break away orbit.. Now!
*The Away Team makes it back to the Goliath and take off. The Think Tank transport departs as well.*
*The Federation shuttle is soon meeting up with the Goliath... The device goes off and ruins the planet causing radiation to cover the area, the explosion obliterates the camp...*
*The Think Tank transports enter cloak and head to the coordinates. While the allied shuttles head back to Federation space. *
Wade: That was a close one... How many did we capture?
Sasha: Not many sir.. Casval reports Cassi is dead.
*One of the Republic ensigns is treating Mila's wounds as she wakes up, groaning slightly.*
Mila: What happened?
Weston: You got caught in an explosion. The rubble came down and...
*He stops himself and starts again.*
Your sister was buried in the rubble...
Mila *stunned*: Cassi's dead?
Weston: Are you okay?
Mila *stunned*: I... I promised Mom I'd bring her back alive...
What happened?
Casval: That knife was not the only thing she had prepared... *He gets back from questioning one of the prisoners...* That plan was to keep you and us occupied for long enough to take us out with a Tricobalt device. Sensor logs show transports we did not catch before leaving at the same time... before disappearing. They don't match any known signature I am aware of.
Seems she did not want to be taken alive either way.
*The Republic team board the Goliath and start prepping to leave.*
*Wade motions for the team to get on the shuttle... They miss the alert that James Jr woke up. Casval sits and waits there focused on the mission at hand. Putting off Mila as something for later. When the shuttle disembarks the ship they signal the Goliath to proceed into the operations area. *

Weston: I don't remember giving them the choice being in the handbook. Our orders were to make every effort to take them alive.
Mila: Commander...
Weston: The lieutenant here was the one who brought that cave coming down on you.
*Mila seems conflicted, before looking at Casval. Casval has the sense that she wasn't completely unconscious in the cave-in, but it isn't clear how much she remembers.*
Pilot, rendezvous with the Starfleet shuttle. We'll transfer Lieutenant Allen and our prisoners to them before rejoining the Columbia.
Wade: So seems someone knew we were coming, and was hoping to get us with the device.
Sasha: Perhaps... Cassi seems to have known we would come and set this up. It does seem like her. One final insult.
*Wade slams his fist into the hand rest...*
Wade: Get Admirals Hargrove and Reynolds on the line. Then plot a course toward Andoria.
Rekas: Yes Sir...
Hargrove: Yes Captain?
Wade: The fuguitive that bombed the Enterprise is dead, we have some prisoners.. But the majority of which seem to have had help to escape. We barely made it away from a tricobalt device set to explode.

Mila *stunned*: I... I promised Mom I'd bring her back alive...
What happened?
Casval: That knife was not the only thing she had prepared... *He gets back from questioning one of the prisoners...* That plan was to keep you and us occupied for long enough to take us out with a Tricobalt device. Sensor logs show transports we did not catch before leaving at the same time... before disappearing. They don't match any known signature I am aware of.
Seems she did not want to be taken alive either way.
Weston: I don't remember giving them the choice being in the handbook. Our orders were to make every effort to take them alive.
Mila: Commander...
Weston: The lieutenant here was the one who brought that cave coming down on you.
*Mila seems conflicted, before looking at Casval. Casval has the sense that she wasn't completely unconscious in the cave-in, but it isn't clear how much she remembers.*
Pilot, rendezvous with the Starfleet shuttle. We'll transfer Lieutenant Allen and our prisoners to them before rejoining the Columbia.
Pilot: Aye, Commander.
Casval: Very well. If I may say bluntly, one bit of advice I learned on the front, some enemies won't give you any chances of choice. Pleasure working with you Commander. Sister... Pleasure to see you again.
*Mila can tell he is a lot more calm and collected than he ever used to be. But he also wasn't wrong in what he was saying and he oddly was not very worried about it or what she thought she saw. *
*Upon the rendezous... Casval is beamed over along with the Prisoners they have. *
Sasha: Did she really die in a cave in?
Casval: Yes she did. I caused it to save my sister, something wasn't right about the situation so I acted. It was crazy but it worked. Though with a bit of an unintended consequence.
Rekas: I bet.
Casval: I think I can assume the Captain is not too pleased?
Sasha: In short... but not with you oddly enough.
Casval: Are you?
Sasha: No... you did what you had to do.
*Casval nods*
Casval: She was still a part of the family, I would like to be a lone for a few moments.
*Sasha nods and lets him sit down, he does seem to show some grief... he was raised with her around and knew her all his life.*
*Wade is in talks with both Admirals.*
Wade: The report will be in bound when we get back to the ship.
*Visrigard the virial parasite begins to spread to victims, causing fits of coughing, growths growing on and around the lung tissue, and spewing up black fluid... Many seem to panic and board themselves up in their homes only to come down with it regardless.*
*In a medical quarantine the progress of the contagion is slowed but not very well.*
Doctor: What is this illness, *he scans another victim who is showing growths on his chest...* I never seen anything like this, the incubation period seems to take at least 36-48 hours...
*Over the comms the news services of many powers watches the reports from the area... Including Carsick.. *
*Carsick's camp...*
Aid: Seems he made good on his gift sir... fatality rates are very high...
Hammond: I need to know what the hell is going on.
Tech: something has been let out sir. It’s affecting a huge portion of the population.
Hammond: are we safe here.
Doctor: for now yes. This facility is newer then any other installation on the planet plus being far underground we don’t use the same system as the surface. I wouldn’t want to trust the shields for to long though.
Hammond: begin moving people through the gate I’m not going to risk any chance of it getting here before we get out.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Wade: So seems someone knew we were coming, and was hoping to get us with the device.
Sasha: Perhaps... Cassi seems to have known we would come and set this up. It does seem like her. One final insult.
*Wade slams his fist into the hand rest...*
Wade: Get Admirals Hargrove and Reynolds on the line. Then plot a course toward Andoria.
Rekas: Yes Sir...
Hargrove: Yes Captain?
Wade: The fuguitive that bombed the Enterprise is dead, we have some prisoners.. But the majority of which seem to have had help to escape. We barely made it away from a tricobalt device set to explode.
*The Republic team board the Goliath and start prepping to leave.*
*Wade motions for the team to get on the shuttle... They miss the alert that James Jr woke up. Casval sits and waits there focused on the mission at hand. Putting off Mila as something for later. When the shuttle disembarks the ship they signal the Goliath to proceed into the operations area. *
Wade: Casval... Give me the run down on the planet..
Casval: *Opens his terminal and sets up the image for both teams to see.* Yes Sir..
As you can see we have the class M planet and the camp on the surface. As far as we can tell they are prepped to leave as soon as they hear trouble. As a matter in fact the reason we are doing this under cover, is because this area is a combat zone. There are still patrols and skirmishes here daily. The next patrol is within the next 96 hours.
Wade: Any defenses?
Casval: Given the loose nature of the camp I would suspect tempoary defenses and patrols. They need to be packed and ready to move. Their landing zone is off along the lower ridge. It gives them the high ground. I suggest the Goliath take the path to drop their team in the back and proceed to give air support via flare. The landing zone for the shuttles is the target you want to knock out. Our shuttle will have to land and hide our shuttle here...
*He circles a selected rock grouping.. *
We will have to fly low to avoid detection but it gives us time to get there.
Wade: Anything else?
Weston: Should our team wait for you to met up with us after insertion or begin the assault immediately?
*The Reoublic team is getting ready with phaser rifles and personal shields.*
Wade: Assault when we all in position.
Weston: Understood.
*The Goliath and Federation Shuttle arrive at the dissident base, the Goliath swooping in against the front door, firing it's ZPCs and ZPB to clear a landing zone. Inside, the Away Team hear phaser blasts hit the shield.*
Weston: Get ready.
*The team arm their phaser rifles and activate their personal shields.
Cavern. M Dani hears the firefight outside and signals her two guards over to her.*
M Dani: Get the ship ready. We're leaving.
Guard: Yes Ma'am.
Dissident: What about us?
M Dani: You wanna get out of this? Win.
*The Transport finally clears a sufficient landing point and lands, the away team disembarking from a side hatch and securing the immediate vicinity.*
Weston: Team R to Team S, we're on the ground.
*Cassi however points a phaser at M.Dani as do the rest of them at her... *
Cassi: I have a better idea, you get them out like was arranged... and then we can win... The point was to have us vacate and rendevous with the rest of them at a secure location. Besides I was pretty sure this was going to happen.
Set the surprise up...
Dissident 2: Cassi are you nuts? It will kill us too...
Cassi: Probably if we do not make it a point that we need to focus on the plan.
*She knows M.Dani appreciates this kind of deception.*
*The Federation team surpises some of the dissidents by coming in from the opposite way... *
Wade: I read you Commander... we are just about in position so get ready to move on the compound.
*Sasha as the teams reach the camp find some resistance but notices something amiss... There are not as many dissidents as thought...*
Casval: *Shooting a dissident and another that tried to knife him.* They are up to something.. they have to be.
Cassi: Little Casval look at you... All grown up and still trying to impress daddy are we?
Casval: I have no need for his praise Cassi... Though its not like you would know coming from a traitor.
Cassi: Oh.. Such strong words, look at you... Passing yourself off as strong resourceful and ruthless. I doubt you could pass that off. You wouldn't hurt a fly..
*She fires a phaser at him and misses as he pulls a trick out of his belt.. It was a Hologram...*
Casval: *As he appears again* What did you think I would stay there and let myself get shot? Please. That is for simpletons. You have to find me.
*She fires again and the Hologram vanishes again.*
*Casval hiding behind rocks shifts from his postion with a rifle ready and sets it up. He does not see his sister entering the fray...*
*The Republic team stealthily get into positions behind Cassi's group, Weston tapping Mila on the shoulder.*
Weston *whispering*: As soon as they're down, go for your sister. We'll cover you.
*Mila nods and takes aim. As the flurry of blue phaser bolts rush out at Cassi's people from behind, Mila chases Cassi into an adjacent chamber, grunting as she tackles Cassi down, rolling over and holding her pistol to Cassi, as she does the same, the two in a stand-off.*
Mila *hateful*: It's just you and me, sister.
*OOC: What do you say to these two fist-fighting it out?*
*OOC: Perhaps, though I do want to show off someone's growing ruthlessness. You do have to admit that Casval's trick was a good one.*
*Cassi looks at her inquisitively...*
Cassi: Bee in your bonnet? Mila? Or did you **** things up for yourself? Or did Casval manage to purposely drive you here to deal with me. Cowardly kid.
*She notices that she is hitting the right buttons. *
What is wrong? Did I kick a puppy or did you take personally what I did to the Enterprise?
*Her pistol still drawn on her.*
*Unaware to both of them Casval is cursing his sister's impulsivness... As he finds the nearest corpse and recalls the layout... He begins rigging the roof of the chamber with photon grenades. *
Casval: Sorry Mila...
*Two more dissidents try and make for him he shoots both on a quick draw. *
But I have to interupt this cat fight... In a moment.
*Mila growls before kicking Cassi's phaser out of her hand, ditching her own before hitting her sister with a series of hooks, followed by a push kick to the ground. Mila quickly takes her jacket off and glares at her, getting into a stance.*
Mila *hateful*: Get up, traitor!
*Meanwhile, Weston is covering the door Mila went through, before seeing what Casval is doing and tapping his combadge.*
Weston: Weston to Team F, why are you rigging the roof to cave in on us?!
*He shoots a couple of dissidents with a quick movement of his rifle.*
*Cassi gets up smirking...*
Cassi: What no response?
*She throws a haymaker that catches Mila off guard and she hits the floor... Cassi kicks her once and picks her up. She throws her into a wall. *
Come on... or is James going to pop through the door next.
*Weston's comm to Casval is heard *
Casval: Look Commander I know what I am doing, and its not going to bring the cavern on her.
*Weston sees dissident fighters coming in...*
*That really sets Mila off, as before Cassi knows it, Mila's knee is in her phase, followed by an uppercut and a straight kick. Mila breathes heavily, before spearing Cassi to the ground and punching her relentlessly.
Outside, Weston sees the dissidents and the Republic team take cover to start taking them out in a crossfire.*
*Cassi whips a knife out and cuts Mila badly across the abdomen, then whips it back across Mila's cheek... Then Mila realized Cassi was holding back. *
Cassi: What no James? Where is the dog?
*Mila hears a little voice in her head say, "Out of the way Mila." *
*Mila dives out of the way, grunting as she reaches for her ankle sheath in case nothing happens.*
*The ceiling above them explodes pinning Cassi under rubble and knocking Mila out by tossing her into a wall. Casval descends into the cavern, he muffles the sound from the room with a forcefield... He checks on Mila and finds her out cold... Cassi on the other hand is groaning in pain...*
Casval: Surprised Cassi?
Cassi: You *******!!!
Casval: James was caught in those bombs Cassi... This is not personal. It is only business. Your problem is that you did this for personal reasons didn't you..
*Cassi looks at him hatefully...*
Casval: I thought so. So you know he didn't actually.
Cassi: You liar! *she cries out agonized*
Liar!!!
*He turns away from her and lifts Mila up and turns off the forcefield muffling the sound. He notices a rock barely holding things up... He goes to it with Mila in tow and smacks it with his rifle. The cavern behind him caves in and crushes Cassi. The door opens behind Weston showing Casval and Mila barely coming around...*
Casval: She is fine Commander, *The dogfight is raging above them*
I see they are going to high tail it.. That means there is probably something else going on here...
Weston: Where's your sister?
Casval: Cassi? Dead... Crushed under the rubble, no way to get her out without caving the entire thing on top of me and Mila.
*He puts Mila down where he can see the slash marks and particularly bad one.*
Knife wounds... Should be easy to tend to.
*Wade and company search around the main complex and find nothing just the command bunker rigged with a device. *
Wade: Sasha what is that thing in the middle of the table?
Sasha: *Taking a tricorder out and scanning it eyes widening..* Its a tri-cobalt device rigged to blow in about 15 minutes.
Wade: *Tapping his combadge* Weston and all surviving away teams get back to the shuttles. Then get break away orbit.. Now!
*The Away Team makes it back to the Goliath and take off. The Think Tank transport departs as well.*
*The Federation shuttle is soon meeting up with the Goliath... The device goes off and ruins the planet causing radiation to cover the area, the explosion obliterates the camp...*
*The Think Tank transports enter cloak and head to the coordinates. While the allied shuttles head back to Federation space. *
Wade: That was a close one... How many did we capture?
Sasha: Not many sir.. Casval reports Cassi is dead.
*One of the Republic ensigns is treating Mila's wounds as she wakes up, groaning slightly.*
Mila: What happened?
Weston: You got caught in an explosion. The rubble came down and...
*He stops himself and starts again.*
Your sister was buried in the rubble...
Mila *stunned*: Cassi's dead?
Weston: Are you okay?
Mila *stunned*: I... I promised Mom I'd bring her back alive...
What happened?
Casval: That knife was not the only thing she had prepared... *He gets back from questioning one of the prisoners...* That plan was to keep you and us occupied for long enough to take us out with a Tricobalt device.

*Wade is in talks with both Admirals.*
Wade: The report will be in bound when we get back to the ship.
Reynolds: Very well.. Reynolds out.
*A few hours later, the Republic team return to the Columbia, Dani waiting in the Shuttlebay as they walk off the Goliath, seeing Mila being helped off by Weston, a large blood-stained gash across her uniform tank top's abdomen.*
Dani *concern*: What happened?
Weston: Things didn't go to plan...
Mila *stunned*: Cassi's dead...
*Dani is taken aback by that, as Weston hands Mila over to be taken to sickbay. As the rest of the team disperses, he gives Dani his report.*
Dani *stunned*: Did you get her body?
Weston: There wasn't time. I'm sorry Captain.
*Dani sighs and nods, trying to keep from breaking up.*
M Samana: Oh fine. *She rushes in in her capoeira like stance does a hand stand doing two spin kicks then flips back to normal with an axe kick followed by 3 punches two jabs and an uppercut*
M Samana: Oh fine. *She rushes in in her capoeira like stance does a hand stand doing two spin kicks then flips back to normal with an axe kick followed by 3 punches two jabs and an uppercut*
*Tara manages to just about dodge the kicks, taking the punches before she can get a guard up and knock M Samana back with a middle kick, following up with a back spin kick and leg sweep. Tara's now got a small cut on her cheek where one of M Samana's jabs connected.*
Wade: So seems someone knew we were coming, and was hoping to get us with the device.
Sasha: Perhaps... Cassi seems to have known we would come and set this up. It does seem like her. One final insult.
*Wade slams his fist into the hand rest...*

Hargrove: Yes Captain?
Wade: The fuguitive that bombed the Enterprise is dead, we have some prisoners.. But the majority of which seem to have had help to escape. We barely made it away from a tricobalt device set to explode.
Hargrove: Is everyone alright?
Wade: Barely, if we stuck around we would have been dead. A few injuries but nothing threatening...
*The Republic team board the Goliath and start prepping to leave.*

Wade: The fuguitive that bombed the Enterprise is dead, we have some prisoners.. But the majority of which seem to have had help to escape. We barely made it away from a tricobalt device set to explode.
Hargrove: Is everyone alright?
Wade: Barely, if we stuck around we would have been dead. A few injuries but nothing threatening...
*The Republic team board the Goliath and start prepping to leave.*
*Wade motions for the team to get on the shuttle... They miss the alert that James Jr woke up. Casval sits and waits there focused on the mission at hand. Putting off Mila as something for later. When the shuttle disembarks the ship they signal the Goliath to proceed into the operations area. *
Wade: Casval... Give me the run down on the planet..
Casval: *Opens his terminal and sets up the image for both teams to see.* Yes Sir..
As you can see we have the class M planet and the camp on the surface. As far as we can tell they are prepped to leave as soon as they hear trouble. As a matter in fact the reason we are doing this under cover, is because this area is a combat zone. There are still patrols and skirmishes here daily. The next patrol is within the next 96 hours.
Wade: Any defenses?
Casval: Given the loose nature of the camp I would suspect tempoary defenses and patrols. They need to be packed and ready to move. Their landing zone is off along the lower ridge. It gives them the high ground. I suggest the Goliath take the path to drop their team in the back and proceed to give air support via flare. The landing zone for the shuttles is the target you want to knock out. Our shuttle will have to land and hide our shuttle here...
*He circles a selected rock grouping.. *
We will have to fly low to avoid detection but it gives us time to get there.
Wade: Anything else?
Weston: Should our team wait for you to met up with us after insertion or begin the assault immediately?
*The Reoublic team is getting ready with phaser rifles and personal shields.*
Wade: Assault when we all in position.
Weston: Understood.
*The Goliath and Federation Shuttle arrive at the dissident base, the Goliath swooping in against the front door, firing it's ZPCs and ZPB to clear a landing zone. Inside, the Away Team hear phaser blasts hit the shield.*
Weston: Get ready.
*The team arm their phaser rifles and activate their personal shields.
Cavern. M Dani hears the firefight outside and signals her two guards over to her.*
M Dani: Get the ship ready. We're leaving.
Guard: Yes Ma'am.
Dissident: What about us?
M Dani: You wanna get out of this? Win.
*The Transport finally clears a sufficient landing point and lands, the away team disembarking from a side hatch and securing the immediate vicinity.*
Weston: Team R to Team S, we're on the ground.
*Cassi however points a phaser at M.Dani as do the rest of them at her... *
Cassi: I have a better idea, you get them out like was arranged... and then we can win... The point was to have us vacate and rendevous with the rest of them at a secure location. Besides I was pretty sure this was going to happen.
Set the surprise up...
Dissident 2: Cassi are you nuts? It will kill us too...
Cassi: Probably if we do not make it a point that we need to focus on the plan.
*She knows M.Dani appreciates this kind of deception.*
*The Federation team surpises some of the dissidents by coming in from the opposite way... *
Wade: I read you Commander... we are just about in position so get ready to move on the compound.
*Sasha as the teams reach the camp find some resistance but notices something amiss... There are not as many dissidents as thought...*
Casval: *Shooting a dissident and another that tried to knife him.* They are up to something.. they have to be.
Cassi: Little Casval look at you... All grown up and still trying to impress daddy are we?
Casval: I have no need for his praise Cassi... Though its not like you would know coming from a traitor.
Cassi: Oh.. Such strong words, look at you... Passing yourself off as strong resourceful and ruthless. I doubt you could pass that off. You wouldn't hurt a fly..
*She fires a phaser at him and misses as he pulls a trick out of his belt.. It was a Hologram...*
Casval: *As he appears again* What did you think I would stay there and let myself get shot? Please. That is for simpletons. You have to find me.
*She fires again and the Hologram vanishes again.*
*Casval hiding behind rocks shifts from his postion with a rifle ready and sets it up. He does not see his sister entering the fray...*
*The Republic team stealthily get into positions behind Cassi's group, Weston tapping Mila on the shoulder.*
Weston *whispering*: As soon as they're down, go for your sister. We'll cover you.
*Mila nods and takes aim. As the flurry of blue phaser bolts rush out at Cassi's people from behind, Mila chases Cassi into an adjacent chamber, grunting as she tackles Cassi down, rolling over and holding her pistol to Cassi, as she does the same, the two in a stand-off.*
Mila *hateful*: It's just you and me, sister.
*OOC: What do you say to these two fist-fighting it out?*
*OOC: Perhaps, though I do want to show off someone's growing ruthlessness. You do have to admit that Casval's trick was a good one.*
*Cassi looks at her inquisitively...*
Cassi: Bee in your bonnet? Mila? Or did you **** things up for yourself? Or did Casval manage to purposely drive you here to deal with me. Cowardly kid.
*She notices that she is hitting the right buttons. *
What is wrong? Did I kick a puppy or did you take personally what I did to the Enterprise?
*Her pistol still drawn on her.*
*Unaware to both of them Casval is cursing his sister's impulsivness... As he finds the nearest corpse and recalls the layout... He begins rigging the roof of the chamber with photon grenades. *
Casval: Sorry Mila...
*Two more dissidents try and make for him he shoots both on a quick draw. *
But I have to interupt this cat fight... In a moment.
*Mila growls before kicking Cassi's phaser out of her hand, ditching her own before hitting her sister with a series of hooks, followed by a push kick to the ground. Mila quickly takes her jacket off and glares at her, getting into a stance.*
Mila *hateful*: Get up, traitor!
*Meanwhile, Weston is covering the door Mila went through, before seeing what Casval is doing and tapping his combadge.*
Weston: Weston to Team F, why are you rigging the roof to cave in on us?!
*He shoots a couple of dissidents with a quick movement of his rifle.*
*Cassi gets up smirking...*
Cassi: What no response?
*She throws a haymaker that catches Mila off guard and she hits the floor... Cassi kicks her once and picks her up. She throws her into a wall. *
Come on... or is James going to pop through the door next.
*Weston's comm to Casval is heard *
Casval: Look Commander I know what I am doing, and its not going to bring the cavern on her.
*Weston sees dissident fighters coming in...*
*That really sets Mila off, as before Cassi knows it, Mila's knee is in her phase, followed by an uppercut and a straight kick. Mila breathes heavily, before spearing Cassi to the ground and punching her relentlessly.
Outside, Weston sees the dissidents and the Republic team take cover to start taking them out in a crossfire.*
*Cassi whips a knife out and cuts Mila badly across the abdomen, then whips it back across Mila's cheek... Then Mila realized Cassi was holding back. *
Cassi: What no James? Where is the dog?
*Mila hears a little voice in her head say, "Out of the way Mila." *
*Mila dives out of the way, grunting as she reaches for her ankle sheath in case nothing happens.*
*The ceiling above them explodes pinning Cassi under rubble and knocking Mila out by tossing her into a wall. Casval descends into the cavern, he muffles the sound from the room with a forcefield... He checks on Mila and finds her out cold... Cassi on the other hand is groaning in pain...*
Casval: Surprised Cassi?
Cassi: You *******!!!
Casval: James was caught in those bombs Cassi... This is not personal. It is only business. Your problem is that you did this for personal reasons didn't you..
*Cassi looks at him hatefully...*
Casval: I thought so. So you know he didn't actually.
Cassi: You liar! *she cries out agonized*
Liar!!!
*He turns away from her and lifts Mila up and turns off the forcefield muffling the sound. He notices a rock barely holding things up... He goes to it with Mila in tow and smacks it with his rifle. The cavern behind him caves in and crushes Cassi. The door opens behind Weston showing Casval and Mila barely coming around...*
Casval: She is fine Commander, *The dogfight is raging above them*
I see they are going to high tail it.. That means there is probably something else going on here...
Weston: Where's your sister?
Casval: Cassi? Dead... Crushed under the rubble, no way to get her out without caving the entire thing on top of me and Mila.
*He puts Mila down where he can see the slash marks and particularly bad one.*
Knife wounds... Should be easy to tend to.
*Wade and company search around the main complex and find nothing just the command bunker rigged with a device. *
Wade: Sasha what is that thing in the middle of the table?
Sasha: *Taking a tricorder out and scanning it eyes widening..* Its a tri-cobalt device rigged to blow in about 15 minutes.
Wade: *Tapping his combadge* Weston and all surviving away teams get back to the shuttles. Then get break away orbit.. Now!
*The Away Team makes it back to the Goliath and take off. The Think Tank transport departs as well.*
*The Federation shuttle is soon meeting up with the Goliath... The device goes off and ruins the planet causing radiation to cover the area, the explosion obliterates the camp...*
*The Think Tank transports enter cloak and head to the coordinates. While the allied shuttles head back to Federation space. *
Wade: That was a close one... How many did we capture?
Sasha: Not many sir.. Casval reports Cassi is dead.
*One of the Republic ensigns is treating Mila's wounds as she wakes up, groaning slightly.*
Mila: What happened?
Weston: You got caught in an explosion. The rubble came down and...
*He stops himself and starts again.*
Your sister was buried in the rubble...
Mila *stunned*: Cassi's dead?
Weston: Are you okay?
Mila *stunned*: I... I promised Mom I'd bring her back alive...
What happened?
Casval: That knife was not the only thing she had prepared... *He gets back from questioning one of the prisoners...* That plan was to keep you and us occupied for long enough to take us out with a Tricobalt device. Sensor logs show transports we did not catch before leaving at the same time... before disappearing. They don't match any known signature I am aware of.
Seems she did not want to be taken alive either way.
Weston: I don't remember giving them the choice being in the handbook. Our orders were to make every effort to take them alive.
Mila: Commander...
Weston: The lieutenant here was the one who brought that cave coming down on you.
*Mila seems conflicted, before looking at Casval. Casval has the sense that she wasn't completely unconscious in the cave-in, but it isn't clear how much she remembers.*
Pilot, rendezvous with the Starfleet shuttle. We'll transfer Lieutenant Allen and our prisoners to them before rejoining the Columbia.
Pilot: Aye, Commander.
Casval: Very well. If I may say bluntly, one bit of advice I learned on the front, some enemies won't give you any chances of choice. Pleasure working with you Commander. Sister... Pleasure to see you again.
*Mila can tell he is a lot more calm and collected than he ever used to be. But he also wasn't wrong in what he was saying and he oddly was not very worried about it or what she thought she saw. *
*Upon the rendezous... Casval is beamed over along with the Prisoners they have. *
Sasha: Did she really die in a cave in?
Casval: Yes she did. I caused it to save my sister, something wasn't right about the situation so I acted. It was crazy but it worked. Though with a bit of an unintended consequence.
Rekas: I bet.
Casval: I think I can assume the Captain is not too pleased?
Sasha: In short... but not with you oddly enough.
Casval: Are you?
Sasha: No... you did what you had to do.
*Casval nods*
Casval: She was still a part of the family, I would like to be a lone for a few moments.
*Sasha nods and lets him sit down, he does seem to show some grief... he was raised with her around and knew her all his life.*
*Wade is in talks with both Admirals.*
Wade: The report will be in bound when we get back to the ship.
Reynolds: Very well.. Reynolds out.
*A few hours later, the Republic team return to the Columbia, Dani waiting in the Shuttlebay as they walk off the Goliath, seeing Mila being helped off by Weston, a large blood-stained gash across her uniform tank top's abdomen.*
Dani *concern*: What happened?
Weston: Things didn't go to plan...
Mila *stunned*: Cassi's dead...
*Dani is taken aback by that, as Weston hands Mila over to be taken to sickbay. As the rest of the team disperses, he gives Dani his report.*
Dani *stunned*: Did you get her body?
Weston: There wasn't time. I'm sorry Captain.
*Dani sighs and nods, trying to keep from breaking up.*
M Samana: *Dodges the leg sweep but got hit by the two kicks* I am! *She takes a deep breath and rushes forward sliding between Tara's legs and performing a break dance spin double kicking Tara's legs out then bring her foot down with an axe kick*
M Samana: *Dodges the leg sweep but got hit by the two kicks* I am! *She takes a deep breath and rushes forward sliding between Tara's legs and performing a break dance spin double kicking Tara's legs out then bring her foot down with an axe kick*
*Tara quickly pulls her legs up, hooking M Samana's leg drop and locking the leg in a scissors, grabbing the ankle and pulling the lock tight.*
Comments
*Tara flips onto her feet and gets in her Cor'i stance.*
Tara: C'mon...

Wade: So seems someone knew we were coming, and was hoping to get us with the device.
Sasha: Perhaps... Cassi seems to have known we would come and set this up. It does seem like her. One final insult.
*Wade slams his fist into the hand rest...*
Wade: Get Admirals Hargrove and Reynolds on the line. Then plot a course toward Andoria.
