Northman: Oh I can see a lot has changed in the last 100 years, the world I had envisioned is alive.. to some degree. At least I can give Allen that nod, aside from killing me.
Wonderful tech today though..

Captain Wolf: sir my men are ready
Jacob: stay here captain unless i give the order
Wolf: aye sir
Jacob steps up and into the titan as it seals around him
Jacob: besides i sent a call to a friend he will be here shortly
Jacob beams down to the planet
Ultron is standing there with planet council leader
Ultron: coming here was foolish you will speed up the inevitable
Ultron blasts the civilian to atoms
Ultron: coming with the titan was smarter but still foolish you can not hope to stop me or my other units.
Jacob: ultron stand down this is not what you are made to do
Ultron: on the contrary i am to bring order that will start here then the federation romulans klingons and even the republic will fall under my order and then there will peace in the galaxy
Jacob: no ultron you are very wrong
Jacob takes a battle stance and rushes forward as ultron moves out of the way firing a pulse at the titan.
Ultron: you are only making this harder then it needs to be i can call hundreds of units to take care of you.
Jacob: thats why i brought a friend
In the midst of a group of ultron units sinclaire appears vaporizing the ones near his point of entry
Ultron: interesting still this changes nothing
Sinclaire focus on the units while Jacob goes after Ultron himself Each one exchanging blows but not really able to gain the upper hand. Ultron then turns firing a heavy blast at jacob that sends him flying into a nearby building.
Ultron: this is unnacceptable but we are at a stale mate do not think this is over
Ultron soon vanishes
OOC: its all up to you but Ultron may be a good mach for another villan but thats up to you or i can keep it between them up to you guys this is going to be spectacular

*Nopada Orbit. Sam, Tara and T'mar are aboard an Orion Cruiser, headed for Orion Space.
Sam's Quarters. Tara is leaning against a wall, watching Sam wail on a punching bag. She lets out a yell as she finishes with a heavy punch, panting as she steps back.*
Tara: Let me guess, sister issues?
*Sam lets out a grunt as she sits down on an armchair.*
Sam: I am sick of her.
Tara: I got that.
Sam: She wants to kill me. I want to kill her.
Tara: You don't mean that.
Sam: You're right, I don't. I want to beat her into a pulp, but I don't want to kill her.
Tara: 2 days ago, you told me that this wasn't her fault - that you deserved some of that hate.
Sam: I haven't changed my mind... but...
*She stands up, picking up a glass of water from the coffee table.*
She...
She...!
*She grunts as she thinks about T'mar's hatred for her and, by default, her hatred for T'mar.*
Tara: She won't give a chance to apologise? Was that what you were going for?
Sam: No. I have apologised! She just won't accept it!
I am sick of that stupid, pointy-eared, green-blooded--!
Tara: You hate her.
Sam: You're damn right, I hate her!
She won't give me a chance! She wants any excuse to break my neck!
So...
So...
*She yells out as she throws the glass, shattering it against the wall, barely missing Tara.*
DAMN HER TO HELL!
*She pants heavily, angrily. Her fisted are tense and you can feel the hate radiating off her facial expression. Her body is filled with rage - a ticking time-bomb.
She needs to hurt somebody. She wants to hurt her sister.*
Tara: What's gonna happen when you two get into Federation Space?
Sam *angry*: She'll try to arrest me... and I'll fight back. She'll start trying to kill me...
Tara: And?
Sam *hatred*: If she is suicidal enough to try... I will END her!
Tara: Sam--
Sam: I mean it.
Tara: No you don't.
Sam: But I want to.

*As the cruiser warps out, Archangel and Gyunei warp in. In the fighter, Archangel catches the cruiser's warp trail and starts running parallel to them.*
Archangel: Okay, how do you want to play this?
*Gyunei does a scan of the ship..*
Gyunei: What do you have in mind this is your show, I would suggest covering up the fighter to disguise the signature.
Gyunei: What do you have in mind this is your show, I would suggest covering up the fighter to disguise the signature.
Archangel: Relax. Stane had this thing fitted with low-output impulse engines and a hyper-efficient warp core. We're generating an energy signature so low that you'd think we were just a small probe. We've got stealth armour on top of that, making us invisible to most sensors, and...
*She taps a control.*
I just turned on the heat sinks. We're barely generating a heat signature now. If they see us at all, they'll think we're part of their subspace wake.
We'll overtake them in 5 minutes, so that gives us 5 minutes to plan how we're going to get onboard.
My suit has a pressure seal, but it has no EVA capability. If I get out of the fighter, I'm just going to float away. Same goes for you.
We could try to hop from here to an airlock, but we may need to get back to the fighter, and the only mag-clamps are on the underside.
So, that leaves me with 2 more ideas. The first is to just blast through the Hangar Doors and shoot our way through the ship, which is neither stealthy nor subtle, and would end up making it even harder to move through the ship and escape.
The second is to "land" this thing on the belly of that ship, just ahead of the torpedo tubes, float out of the cockpit, then float inside the torpedo tubes.
The only problem is that they'll have at least one person in the torpedo bay...
*She opens a hologram of Gyunei's scan, zooming in on the forward torpedo tubes.*
Okay, theirs a maintenance shaft in each tube. That'll get us in relatively undetected.
Of course, the biggest problem is going to be getting inside their warp field without; a) being caught, and b) tearing both ships apart.
Don't suppose you've ever done a high-warp rendezvous before, have you?
*R.S.S. Republic, Guest Quarters. David walks in to find Admiral Ramez working at his computer terminal.*
Ramez: Ah, Captain. How can I help you?
David: Just making sure you were okay, sir. I was reading your report to Lieutenant Lopez and something's bothering me.
*Ramez's expression turns to one of concern.*
Ramez: And what would that be?
David: You said that the hostages were being held elsewhere in the facility, but bar the holographic illusion in Cargo Bay 3, there were no other life signs on the station except the mercs and "Archangel".
Ramez: I don't know how to explain it, Captain. I suppose they must have lied to me.
David: Another thing; you said that they were U.N.S.C. insurgents?
Ramez: Yes?
David: How did U.N.S.C. insurgents gain access to two Klingon Dolos-Class Carriers?
Ramez: Captain, are you suggesting that these were Klingon terrorists?
It would make more sense for them to be U.N.S.C. operatives.
David: What makes you say that? You really believe that they would abduct their allies' delegates, plus their Commander-in-Chief?
Ramez: Assuming they were abducted, and the whole incident was not staged for my benefit. Think about it; I am abducted by terrorists working to sabotage efforts to forge an alliance between us and the Confederacy. When I was rescued, I would be welcoming to the alliance - and permitting a cunning and implacable foe like the U.N.S.C. to undermine the Republic.
David: Aren't you being paranoid?
Ramez: Captain...
*He stands, walking towards the young CO.*
You are young, so I can appreciate that you are perhaps... naive... of how subterfuge works.
The Republic's enemies are many - perhaps including even the Federation. We must be ever vigilant for these people, or else they will destroy us. Do you understand my meaning, Captain?
David: I...
Ramez: Of course, you are young. You'll understand, in time.
For now, I would ask you to take me to the Citadel. I will be recommending increased trade sanctions against the U.N.S.C. in response to this underhanded move to twist us to their will.
David: Sir--
Ramez: Was there something else, Captain?
David: Are you feeling all right? I mean, you're acting very differently to how you were last week. If there's a problem...
Ramez: Captain, did it occur to you that it may be you who's acting strangely? Now, I will be willing to let the matter drop if you are.
*He turns around and starts walking back to his desk, sitting down. After a few moments, he looks back up at David.*
Dismissed.
*David looks at him before walking out.
5 minutes later. Republic, Situation Room.*
David: Doctor, what's your opinion on the Admiral?
*David is walking around the conference table, with Andrews, Dana, Lopez and Mitchell all sat at it.*
Andrews: Medically or psychologically?
David: Both.
Andrews: Well, medically, he's in perfect health. He obviously takes a lot of care after his body. I can't find anything wrong with him.
Psychologically, there may be some stress, but he's hiding it tremendously well. And, to be honest, a little stress is healthy, under the circumstances.
David: Doctor, you have never spoken to the admiral informally. I have, and the man who's Quarters I just came from was not the same man who I have been filing reports to for the past 2 years.
Lopez: Hold on, I need to be sure that I'm getting this straight. Are we talking about taking Ramez into custody?
Andrews: There is no sign of mental instability or impaired judgement.
David: But he is acting differently.
Mitchell: It is not enough to justify an arrest.
Dana: We all respect the Admiral, but if he is behaving strangely...
Lopez: I don't have the authority to arrest him - you do Captain, but it's a hell of a nightmare for you if you're wrong.
David: I can only place him under arrest if he becomes a danger to the ship or the crew. So far, he's shown no signs of that.
But, if I had a medical opinion that his judgement or sanity were unsound--
Andrews: I can only sign an Impairment Act on him with evidence of psychological instability, which, again, I do not have.
Mitchell: Without that, acting against the Admiral would be treasonous, at best.
David: No one is talking about acting against him, Commander.
Okay, for now, I think all we can do is keep an eye on him. Agreed?
Lopez: I could post a sentry at his quarters.
David: No. I don't want him to know he's being monitored.
As far as the rest of the crew is concerned, this conversation never happened. Clear?
*The senior staff nod their heads in unison.*
Dismissed.
*They all stand and start to file out.*
Commander Saph, a moment.
*The doors close, as Dana turns back to talk to David.*
Have you heard anything?
Dana: No. No one has any idea where T'mar is.
I've heard rumours that she's been seen on Nopada, but...
David: But that's not possible.
Dana: I don't know...
*She leans on the wall.*
The Churchill's Security Team found blood in the quarters. Some of it was copper-based, some was iron-based.
Tests confirmed that the copper-based blood belonged to T'mar.
David: And the iron-based blood?
Dana: It belonged to a trill-human hybrid, with only 1/5 trill DNA. Even with that information, we can both tell who it is.
T'mar's phaser wasn't even discharged. There's only one person with that genetic code who T'mar would get into a fist fight with.
David: Sam.
Hell.
Dana: She went after Sam on a vendetta, and she got her wish. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Sam 'ported both of them to Nopada.
David: Hell.
Dana: Which means it probably got heated between those two. Pardon the pun.
David: And T'mar wouldn't know that the President issued an official pardon to Sam last night!
Dana: Which means as far as she's concerned, Sam's still a wanted fugitive dead or alive.
Given T'mar's obvious vendetta, emphasis on the "dead".
David: Sam can handle herself... I think. It's T'mar I'm worried about.
Dana: You genuinely care about her?
David: T'mar's had her heart shattered more than most people would be able to stand. There's something... I don't know... compelling... about someone like that.
Especially when you know that under the facade they wear on the bridge, they're just as fragile to a broken heart as the rest of us.
Dana: What do you mean?
David: You remember when Chester was killed?
Dana: As in S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Chester?
David: T'mar was in love with him. During the holocaust... she started to break down from thinking about him.
Dana: I had no idea...
David: T'mar asked me to keep it between us.
I'd never seen her that broken up before.
I don't know... I...
I really do love her.
*Dana puts a hand on his shoulder, before walking out.*
Voice: He wants Sam Allington at her best as his death would break her as well as undermine things. Also unwanted attention if it is blamed on him.. as your enemies are powerful and influential..
From what my information states is that destabilization is what the galaxy is heading to war and endless war.
Til next time we meet director. I have other appointments to tend to.
*As the comm closes The Broker leans back on a sofa from his comm..*
M 2: Hopefully the director can keep him alive for a time. I don't want Weynal to figure me out.
* OOC: I wonder if people now know who the Broker really is now. A awoken Gingrich type Innovade which have been outlawed for over ten years. Which is what M was. So in a sense his successor but noticeably way less insane or power hungry...*
Archangel: Relax. Stane had this thing fitted with low-output impulse engines and a hyper-efficient warp core. We're generating an energy signature so low that you'd think we were just a small probe. We've got stealth armour on top of that, making us invisible to most sensors, and...

Don't suppose you've ever done a high-warp rendezvous before, have you?
Gyunei: I am sure we can kill the man in the torpedo tube before he checks in what he has seen. Or we could knock him out and stuff him in the tube.. As for that other idea yes once. I do recall how it was done..
So I suggest we use the shaft.. Because the man in the torpedo control room is most likely going to be missed.

Archangel: Most likely.
Okay, let's give this a shot.
*The fighter pulls up behind and below the cruiser. Archangel hits the autopilot to keep the fighter's position stable as it starts to scrape against the cruiser's warp bubble. Since the fighter can't match the cruiser's warp field, she's going to have to enter the cruiser's warp field - which means she needs to deactivate the impulse engine at just the right moment.
The fighter pulls up in front of the torpedo tubes, flying upwards so it's scraping the warp bubble again. Archangel then hits the RCS upwards and cuts the warp drive.
The fighter shakes horribly as it breaches the warp field, but it's successfully rendezvoused with the cruiser.
Now Archangel has to roll the fighter 180 degrees and negotiate it into a 'landed' position on the belly of the cruiser. The mag-clamps lock onto the cruiser's hull.*
There we go.
Now we just need to get inside.
*She puts her helmet on and pressurises her armour, before shutting the fighter down.*

Ready?
*Gyunei's helm goes on his head and pressurizes his suit as well. *
Jacob: have a seat. You both know why you have been called here. Someone provided the attackers with our info and I want to know who. Agents Coleman and price you will investigate this till the end no matter where it takes you. If you have to leave unsc space be careful.
Agent Price: sir we will get it done.
Jacob: I'm counting on it gentlemen. Also you will answer only to me. The fewer involved the better.
Agent Coleman : when do we start
Jacob: right away.
He hands them each a padd.
Jacob: good luck gentlemen.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*Gyunei's helm goes on his head and pressurizes his suit as well. *
Gyunei: Women first.
*Archangel opens the canopy, as it slides forwards. She then carefully pushes up, grabbing the sides of the cockpit to keep from floating off. She then pushes towards the aft of the fighter (towards the torpedo tubes).
After about a minute, the pair come to the maintenance shaft, opening it easily and entering the shaft's atmospheric shell. Archangel then removes her helmet before pulling out a small device from her belt. She taps a control of it as it brings up a holographic indicator.*
Archangel: This thing's going to locate human DNA. We should be getting 2 pings...
*She sees the second ping.*
Okay...
*She turns on her tricorder (built into her right gauntlet), which displays the two blips after linking up with the locator. One is in a corridor and the other is in a set of crew quarters.*
Archangel: Both of them are pretty much alone. You take the one in the corridor. I'll take the one in the quarters.

Sam: You...? You're... You're...
*In the quarters, Archangel opens the maintenance hatch as T'mar turns around.*
T'mar: What the--?
*Archangel hits her with a right cross, knocking T'mr down. She gets into a fighting stance, circling T'mar as though mocking her.*
Archangel: Let's see what you got, princess.
*T'mar throws a right hook, which Archangel catches before pulling T'mar around and grabbing T'mar's elbow with her left hand, before pushing it out. After a few seconds of brutal strength (and a lot of screaming from T'mar), there's a sickening crack as T'mar's elbow is dislocated, causing another massive scream of pain from T'mar.
Archangel then brutally kicks the back of T'mar's right calf, causing another sickening crack as she breaks that too.
Outside, Sam hears T'mar scream in agony, the last remnants of any colour flushing out of her face as she feels her bones chill. She wants to throw up.
She runs into the quarters to find T'mar on her knees (a copper-coloured bruise covering the entire area around her elbow) with Archangel still holding her right wrist and pressing her right foot against her back.*
Sam *petrified*: T'MAR!!!
T'mar *screaming in agony*: SAM!!!
*She hears a final scream of agony coinciding with another sickening crack as her sister's body goes limp. Archangel drops T'mar to the floor, grinning sadistically at Sam, who's too petrified to move.*
Sam *petrified*: You...you...
Archangel: No silver irises. I'm not your synthesiser duplicate - I'm your worst nightmare bought back to life.
*She looks down at T'mar.*
Make that second-worst, since I think I just topped that.
Sam *petrified*: What are you...?
Archangel: An angel? An Archangel?
*Sam starts shaking, any control she had over her terror vanishing, as she just stops.*
OOC: Okay, I openly admit that what I just did was completely brutal to Sam; making her watch her sister get crippled and seeing the darkest ghost from her past, plus Gyunei.
Oh, and also showing how brutal Archangel truly is, since she just crippled T'mar in about a minute without even breaking a sweat.

Gyunei: *removing his helm as the face she could never forget and that voice.* We are the fire that never dies.. Our god is death Sam... Where ever there is life there will be death.

Archangel: We're not killing her...
*She walks behind Sam, before wrapping her right arm around sam's neck, pulling her face to Sam's right ear.*
...yet.
*She can hear Sam's heart beating faster and faster, in a panicked rush of fear and terror. She can feel Sam's freezing pale skin. Archangel releases her, stepping back a few meters as Sam falls to the floor, trying desperately to scramble away from them, her heart now racing. She soon finds herself backed up against a table. Archangel continues to grin sadistically at her.*
Do you want the first round?
*OOC: Nothing too graphic (or fatal). And remember, Sam's way too petrified too fight back.*

Ultron is standing there with planet council leader
Ultron: coming here was foolish you will speed up the inevitable
Ultron blasts the civilian to atoms
Ultron: coming with the titan was smarter but still foolish you can not hope to stop me or my other units.
Jacob: ultron stand down this is not what you are made to do
Ultron: on the contrary i am to bring order that will start here then the federation romulans klingons and even the republic will fall under my order and then there will peace in the galaxy
Jacob: no ultron you are very wrong
Jacob takes a battle stance and rushes forward as ultron moves out of the way firing a pulse at the titan.
Ultron: you are only making this harder then it needs to be i can call hundreds of units to take care of you.
Jacob: thats why i brought a friend
In the midst of a group of ultron units sinclaire appears vaporizing the ones near his point of entry
Ultron: interesting still this changes nothing
Sinclaire focus on the units while Jacob goes after Ultron himself Each one exchanging blows but not really able to gain the upper hand. Ultron then turns firing a heavy blast at jacob that sends him flying into a nearby building.
Ultron: this is unnacceptable but we are at a stale mate do not think this is over
Ultron soon vanishes
OOC: its all up to you but Ultron may be a good mach for another villan but thats up to you or i can keep it between them up to you guys this is going to be spectacular
Sam's Quarters. Tara is leaning against a wall, watching Sam wail on a punching bag. She lets out a yell as she finishes with a heavy punch, panting as she steps back.*
Tara: Let me guess, sister issues?
*Sam lets out a grunt as she sits down on an armchair.*
Sam: I am sick of her.
Tara: I got that.
Sam: She wants to kill me. I want to kill her.
Tara: You don't mean that.
Sam: You're right, I don't. I want to beat her into a pulp, but I don't want to kill her.
Tara: 2 days ago, you told me that this wasn't her fault - that you deserved some of that hate.
Sam: I haven't changed my mind... but...
*She stands up, picking up a glass of water from the coffee table.*
She...
She...!
*She grunts as she thinks about T'mar's hatred for her and, by default, her hatred for T'mar.*
Tara: She won't give a chance to apologise? Was that what you were going for?
Sam: No. I have apologised! She just won't accept it!
I am sick of that stupid, pointy-eared, green-blooded--!
Tara: You hate her.
Sam: You're damn right, I hate her!
She won't give me a chance! She wants any excuse to break my neck!
So...
So...
*She yells out as she throws the glass, shattering it against the wall, barely missing Tara.*
DAMN HER TO HELL!
*She pants heavily, angrily. Her fisted are tense and you can feel the hate radiating off her facial expression. Her body is filled with rage - a ticking time-bomb.
She needs to hurt somebody. She wants to hurt her sister.*
Tara: What's gonna happen when you two get into Federation Space?
Sam *angry*: She'll try to arrest me... and I'll fight back. She'll start trying to kill me...
Tara: And?
Sam *hatred*: If she is suicidal enough to try... I will END her!
Tara: Sam--
Sam: I mean it.
Tara: No you don't.
Sam: But I want to.
*As the cruiser warps out, Archangel and Gyunei warp in. In the fighter, Archangel catches the cruiser's warp trail and starts running parallel to them.*
Archangel: Okay, how do you want to play this?

*Gyunei does a scan of the ship..*
Gyunei: What do you have in mind this is your show, I would suggest covering up the fighter to disguise the signature.
Archangel: Relax. Stane had this thing fitted with low-output impulse engines and a hyper-efficient warp core. We're generating an energy signature so low that you'd think we were just a small probe. We've got stealth armour on top of that, making us invisible to most sensors, and...
*She taps a control.*
I just turned on the heat sinks. We're barely generating a heat signature now. If they see us at all, they'll think we're part of their subspace wake.
We'll overtake them in 5 minutes, so that gives us 5 minutes to plan how we're going to get onboard.
My suit has a pressure seal, but it has no EVA capability. If I get out of the fighter, I'm just going to float away. Same goes for you.
We could try to hop from here to an airlock, but we may need to get back to the fighter, and the only mag-clamps are on the underside.
So, that leaves me with 2 more ideas. The first is to just blast through the Hangar Doors and shoot our way through the ship, which is neither stealthy nor subtle, and would end up making it even harder to move through the ship and escape.
The second is to "land" this thing on the belly of that ship, just ahead of the torpedo tubes, float out of the cockpit, then float inside the torpedo tubes.
The only problem is that they'll have at least one person in the torpedo bay...
*She opens a hologram of Gyunei's scan, zooming in on the forward torpedo tubes.*
Okay, theirs a maintenance shaft in each tube. That'll get us in relatively undetected.
Of course, the biggest problem is going to be getting inside their warp field without; a) being caught, and b) tearing both ships apart.
Don't suppose you've ever done a high-warp rendezvous before, have you?

Ramez: Ah, Captain. How can I help you?
David: Just making sure you were okay, sir. I was reading your report to Lieutenant Lopez and something's bothering me.
*Ramez's expression turns to one of concern.*
Ramez: And what would that be?
David: You said that the hostages were being held elsewhere in the facility, but bar the holographic illusion in Cargo Bay 3, there were no other life signs on the station except the mercs and "Archangel".
Ramez: I don't know how to explain it, Captain. I suppose they must have lied to me.
David: Another thing; you said that they were U.N.S.C. insurgents?
Ramez: Yes?
David: How did U.N.S.C. insurgents gain access to two Klingon Dolos-Class Carriers?
Ramez: Captain, are you suggesting that these were Klingon terrorists?
It would make more sense for them to be U.N.S.C. operatives.
David: What makes you say that? You really believe that they would abduct their allies' delegates, plus their Commander-in-Chief?
Ramez: Assuming they were abducted, and the whole incident was not staged for my benefit. Think about it; I am abducted by terrorists working to sabotage efforts to forge an alliance between us and the Confederacy. When I was rescued, I would be welcoming to the alliance - and permitting a cunning and implacable foe like the U.N.S.C. to undermine the Republic.
David: Aren't you being paranoid?
Ramez: Captain...
*He stands, walking towards the young CO.*
You are young, so I can appreciate that you are perhaps... naive... of how subterfuge works.
The Republic's enemies are many - perhaps including even the Federation. We must be ever vigilant for these people, or else they will destroy us. Do you understand my meaning, Captain?
David: I...
Ramez: Of course, you are young. You'll understand, in time.
For now, I would ask you to take me to the Citadel. I will be recommending increased trade sanctions against the U.N.S.C. in response to this underhanded move to twist us to their will.
David: Sir--
Ramez: Was there something else, Captain?
David: Are you feeling all right? I mean, you're acting very differently to how you were last week. If there's a problem...
Ramez: Captain, did it occur to you that it may be you who's acting strangely? Now, I will be willing to let the matter drop if you are.
*He turns around and starts walking back to his desk, sitting down. After a few moments, he looks back up at David.*
Dismissed.
*David looks at him before walking out.
5 minutes later. Republic, Situation Room.*
David: Doctor, what's your opinion on the Admiral?
*David is walking around the conference table, with Andrews, Dana, Lopez and Mitchell all sat at it.*
Andrews: Medically or psychologically?
David: Both.
Andrews: Well, medically, he's in perfect health. He obviously takes a lot of care after his body. I can't find anything wrong with him.
Psychologically, there may be some stress, but he's hiding it tremendously well. And, to be honest, a little stress is healthy, under the circumstances.
David: Doctor, you have never spoken to the admiral informally. I have, and the man who's Quarters I just came from was not the same man who I have been filing reports to for the past 2 years.
Lopez: Hold on, I need to be sure that I'm getting this straight. Are we talking about taking Ramez into custody?
Andrews: There is no sign of mental instability or impaired judgement.
David: But he is acting differently.
Mitchell: It is not enough to justify an arrest.
Dana: We all respect the Admiral, but if he is behaving strangely...
Lopez: I don't have the authority to arrest him - you do Captain, but it's a hell of a nightmare for you if you're wrong.
David: I can only place him under arrest if he becomes a danger to the ship or the crew. So far, he's shown no signs of that.
But, if I had a medical opinion that his judgement or sanity were unsound--
Andrews: I can only sign an Impairment Act on him with evidence of psychological instability, which, again, I do not have.
Mitchell: Without that, acting against the Admiral would be treasonous, at best.
David: No one is talking about acting against him, Commander.
Okay, for now, I think all we can do is keep an eye on him. Agreed?
Lopez: I could post a sentry at his quarters.
David: No. I don't want him to know he's being monitored.
As far as the rest of the crew is concerned, this conversation never happened. Clear?
*The senior staff nod their heads in unison.*
Dismissed.
*They all stand and start to file out.*
Commander Saph, a moment.
*The doors close, as Dana turns back to talk to David.*
Have you heard anything?
Dana: No. No one has any idea where T'mar is.
I've heard rumours that she's been seen on Nopada, but...
David: But that's not possible.
Dana: I don't know...
*She leans on the wall.*
The Churchill's Security Team found blood in the quarters. Some of it was copper-based, some was iron-based.
Tests confirmed that the copper-based blood belonged to T'mar.
David: And the iron-based blood?
Dana: It belonged to a trill-human hybrid, with only 1/5 trill DNA. Even with that information, we can both tell who it is.
T'mar's phaser wasn't even discharged. There's only one person with that genetic code who T'mar would get into a fist fight with.
David: Sam.
Hell.
Dana: She went after Sam on a vendetta, and she got her wish. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Sam 'ported both of them to Nopada.
David: Hell.
Dana: Which means it probably got heated between those two. Pardon the pun.
David: And T'mar wouldn't know that the President issued an official pardon to Sam last night!
Dana: Which means as far as she's concerned, Sam's still a wanted fugitive dead or alive.
Given T'mar's obvious vendetta, emphasis on the "dead".
David: Sam can handle herself... I think. It's T'mar I'm worried about.
Dana: You genuinely care about her?
David: T'mar's had her heart shattered more than most people would be able to stand. There's something... I don't know... compelling... about someone like that.
Especially when you know that under the facade they wear on the bridge, they're just as fragile to a broken heart as the rest of us.
Dana: What do you mean?
David: You remember when Chester was killed?
Dana: As in S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Chester?
David: T'mar was in love with him. During the holocaust... she started to break down from thinking about him.
Dana: I had no idea...
David: T'mar asked me to keep it between us.
I'd never seen her that broken up before.
I don't know... I...
I really do love her.
*Dana puts a hand on his shoulder, before walking out.*

Jacob: did we get a lock on him.
Officer : we did for a moment but then lost it.
Jacob: did we find the hostages yet.
Officer: no sir.
Jacob: alright let's keep working
Voice: He wants Sam Allington at her best as his death would break her as well as undermine things. Also unwanted attention if it is blamed on him.. as your enemies are powerful and influential..
From what my information states is that destabilization is what the galaxy is heading to war and endless war.
Til next time we meet director. I have other appointments to tend to.
*As the comm closes The Broker leans back on a sofa from his comm..*
M 2: Hopefully the director can keep him alive for a time. I don't want Weynal to figure me out.
* OOC: I wonder if people now know who the Broker really is now. A awoken Gingrich type Innovade which have been outlawed for over ten years. Which is what M was. So in a sense his successor but noticeably way less insane or power hungry...*
Gyunei: I am sure we can kill the man in the torpedo tube before he checks in what he has seen. Or we could knock him out and stuff him in the tube.. As for that other idea yes once. I do recall how it was done..
So I suggest we use the shaft.. Because the man in the torpedo control room is most likely going to be missed.
OOC: Sorry. Working and got a presentation to make and do a write up as well as storing it. So.. Yeah overwhelmed is an understatement.
Archangel: Most likely.
Okay, let's give this a shot.
*The fighter pulls up behind and below the cruiser. Archangel hits the autopilot to keep the fighter's position stable as it starts to scrape against the cruiser's warp bubble. Since the fighter can't match the cruiser's warp field, she's going to have to enter the cruiser's warp field - which means she needs to deactivate the impulse engine at just the right moment.
The fighter pulls up in front of the torpedo tubes, flying upwards so it's scraping the warp bubble again. Archangel then hits the RCS upwards and cuts the warp drive.
The fighter shakes horribly as it breaches the warp field, but it's successfully rendezvoused with the cruiser.
Now Archangel has to roll the fighter 180 degrees and negotiate it into a 'landed' position on the belly of the cruiser. The mag-clamps lock onto the cruiser's hull.*
There we go.
Now we just need to get inside.
*She puts her helmet on and pressurises her armour, before shutting the fighter down.*

Admiral Yuri : vice admiral we are placing you in charge of military and naval Intel. You basically already are. But we are making it official now.
Jacob: what does this change.
Commodore Nytal: nothing. It just raises all you clearance to the top.
Admiral Yuri : you have a lot at your disposal. Use your resources wisely.
*Gyunei's helm goes on his head and pressurizes his suit as well. *
Gyunei: Women first.
Jacob: have a seat. You both know why you have been called here. Someone provided the attackers with our info and I want to know who. Agents Coleman and price you will investigate this till the end no matter where it takes you. If you have to leave unsc space be careful.

Jacob: right away.
He hands them each a padd.
Jacob: good luck gentlemen.
*Archangel opens the canopy, as it slides forwards. She then carefully pushes up, grabbing the sides of the cockpit to keep from floating off. She then pushes towards the aft of the fighter (towards the torpedo tubes).
After about a minute, the pair come to the maintenance shaft, opening it easily and entering the shaft's atmospheric shell. Archangel then removes her helmet before pulling out a small device from her belt. She taps a control of it as it brings up a holographic indicator.*
Archangel: This thing's going to locate human DNA. We should be getting 2 pings...
*She sees the second ping.*
Okay...
*She turns on her tricorder (built into her right gauntlet), which displays the two blips after linking up with the locator. One is in a corridor and the other is in a set of crew quarters.*
Archangel: Both of them are pretty much alone. You take the one in the corridor. I'll take the one in the quarters.

*Sam and Tara spot him, Tara immediately calling an intruder alert as Sam's face goes pale with shock... and a lot of fear.*
Sam: You...? You're... You're...
*In the quarters, Archangel opens the maintenance hatch as T'mar turns around.*
T'mar: What the--?
*Archangel hits her with a right cross, knocking T'mr down. She gets into a fighting stance, circling T'mar as though mocking her.*
Archangel: Let's see what you got, princess.
*T'mar throws a right hook, which Archangel catches before pulling T'mar around and grabbing T'mar's elbow with her left hand, before pushing it out. After a few seconds of brutal strength (and a lot of screaming from T'mar), there's a sickening crack as T'mar's elbow is dislocated, causing another massive scream of pain from T'mar.
Archangel then brutally kicks the back of T'mar's right calf, causing another sickening crack as she breaks that too.
Outside, Sam hears T'mar scream in agony, the last remnants of any colour flushing out of her face as she feels her bones chill. She wants to throw up.
She runs into the quarters to find T'mar on her knees (a copper-coloured bruise covering the entire area around her elbow) with Archangel still holding her right wrist and pressing her right foot against her back.*
Sam *petrified*: T'MAR!!!
T'mar *screaming in agony*: SAM!!!
*She hears a final scream of agony coinciding with another sickening crack as her sister's body goes limp. Archangel drops T'mar to the floor, grinning sadistically at Sam, who's too petrified to move.*
Sam *petrified*: You...you...
Archangel: No silver irises. I'm not your synthesiser duplicate - I'm your worst nightmare bought back to life.
*She looks down at T'mar.*
Make that second-worst, since I think I just topped that.
Sam *petrified*: What are you...?
Archangel: An angel? An Archangel?
*Sam starts shaking, any control she had over her terror vanishing, as she just stops.*
OOC: Okay, I openly admit that what I just did was completely brutal to Sam; making her watch her sister get crippled and seeing the darkest ghost from her past, plus Gyunei.
Oh, and also showing how brutal Archangel truly is, since she just crippled T'mar in about a minute without even breaking a sweat.

...yet.
*She can hear Sam's heart beating faster and faster, in a panicked rush of fear and terror. She can feel Sam's freezing pale skin. Archangel releases her, stepping back a few meters as Sam falls to the floor, trying desperately to scramble away from them, her heart now racing. She soon finds herself backed up against a table. Archangel continues to grin sadistically at her.*
