Terry: All secrets come out eventually Sam.. Its just a matter of doing it and keeping in line to explain it the best you can... Secrets are hardly ever good. If you have spent time to rectify it they should see that in time.
Sam: Easy for you to say. You don't have a daughter - let alone one who hates you...
Sam: Easy for you to say. You don't have a daughter - let alone one who hates you...

Lieutenant Reynolds, I want you to be ready to open airlock 2 without dropping the cloak.
Reynolds: Aye sir.

Fox: Thompson.. Don't worry I know when to fight and when not to..
*He closes his helm covering his heavily scarred face... and his voice alters slightly.*
If violence does come it is what I do best... The only thing.
*His stealth system engages and leaves the ship floating over to the brig vessel... adjusting the trajectory... successfully getting on the ship and goes through the refuse as it opens.. *
*His memory does stimulate remembering a time when this kind of thing necessary to survival. The Battlefield... His true calling. *
*OOC: Just so it is known, he is a man living in that suit. He did die but was brought back to life with nanomachines, borg implants, and cybernetics... They don't even know if he is human. *

*He turns his head... *
She is on the move.
*He taps the bud on the ear*
Tara she is moving to you..
Tara *Over Comm*: I've got her.
Sam: Tara, wait for us.
Tara *Over Comm*: She's heading into the turbolift. I've got her!
Sam: Tara, wait!
*In the turbolift, Tara runs in before the doors close, quickly turning the omega dampener on as Tara A tries to telekinetically slam her against the wall.*
Tara: What's the matter? Your powers not working?
*Tara A throws a punch, grunting in anger as Tara ducks below it, getting into a fighting stance. The two circle each other, bouncing on their heels as they watch each other. Tara A makes another move to hit Tara, which Tara blocks before punching Tara A in the face. Tara then tries to follow up, but Tara A blocks her and locks up with her, pushing her against the wall. The two strain as they're fairly evenly matched in terms of strength.*
Tara A: I'm going to enjoy this!
*Tara manages to push her away, delivering a straight kick to her face, knocking her against the wall opposite, before pushing the foot onto her throat, pinning her their, and making her choke lightly.*
Tara: Give - up!
Tara A *choking lightly*: Go to - hell!
*The turbolift doors open and Tara A grabs Tara's ankle, pushing her out the door before charging a blast of twilight energy in her hand. She fires the blast at Tara, who frantically lifts her arms up to shield her face as she sees a bright white flash as the blast hits her arms. But, nothing. No pain.
After a moment, Tara lowers her arms. Tara A escaped, but that's not what's spooked Tara. Her forearms are glowing bright white, swirls of white energy around them. The energy gradually dies down as Sam and Terry step off the turbolift. They see her arms.*
Sam: Tara, are you okay?
Tara: Mom... we need to talk.
*Within 10 minutes, they're back on the Enterprise-J, Tara being checked over in sickbay, with both Terry and Sam present.*

Jack: Kid...
Drake: Don't you people have a soul?! They're innocent people and you're taking them against their will! Your kidnapping them! You and your kind aren't human beings! You're glorified THUGS! Ferengi have more nobility than you!

*OOC: Okay. Could have him react then.*
Any interference in my duty will bring force.. and your ship will be impounded and it will not help your cause.
EMH: I'd like to perform a full medical examination of you when you're free, Captain. Since you're... experience... on Romulus, you've only submitted to a single physical. Their could be unseen side effects to the spice.

Tara: What's wrong with me?
Sam: You know, that's the most you've spoken to me since we met each other again.
*Tara just gives her a steel glare.*
I know I have a lot to apologise for... and I know I can't make it up to you in--
Tara: Answer the question.
Sam: Nothing's wrong with you.
Tara: Then what am I?
Sam: You're my daughter.
Tara: What more than that?
Sam: You know that I have a twilight being inside me... When you and Dani were born... I suppose she embedded a part of herself in you to protect you.
Tara: I knew it!
*Tara gets up and storms away.*
Sam: Tara--
*Tara turns around and storms back up to her.*
Tara: YOU LIED TO ME!!! YOU ALWAYS LIE TO ME!!!

*Tara's eyes are red and her cheeks are wet as she has been crying.*
Tara: I don't suppose you know anyone I could spar with? Fighting seems to help calm me down...
I just can't stand her, Terry. My entire life, she's lied to be, again and again and again. I just can't take it. That's why I left in the first place - I couldn't take being around her anymore.
I hoped maybe she'd have changed since I left, but no. She's still lying to me, even after everything I've been through because of her.

Drake: What you're doing is ILLEGAL! Detaining someone without due process just because they're different? Humans were supposed to have outgrown that by the 23rd Century. You're a symptom of the reason humanity is becoming full of degenerate thugs!
There's a word for people like you; cowards.
Drake to all hands. Do not cooperate with the Raisers. What they're doing is illegal under Republic Law.
You want to know something, Captain? There's nothing wrong with our navigation systems. This ship was built 90 years from now. I'm from the 26th Century and let me tell you something; you lose. New-Types receive equal rights and are regarded as the best of humanity; gifted and not a threat to be ground under your heel.
*Jack taps a control, which triggers a small delta-burst from the deflector, prompting the Enterprise to decloak.*
Thompson *Over Comm*: This is Captain James Thompson of the Enterprise to Raiser Vessels! Your AT shields have been neutralised and I have an arsenal ready to blow all of you to kingdom come if you don't return every last member of the Zhiyal's crew in 2 minutes!
*The Bird of Prey gets hit by a phaser blast, knocking its shields out but doing no actual damage.*
That was a warning shot. Do not test me. You will fail.

I wish she was dead...
Terry: No you don't... I have no parents. Trust me it really does suck immeasurably... I never physically met mine. My father is out there somewhere and has not bothered to contact me or my sister. Much less his friends.
Your mother knows something but at least she told me to some effect... I am angry but more at my father than anything else. She wanted to tell you and I think you need to hear her out. Spare with her and get all this bad blood out..
She might have had a good reason to keep that from you... Or she might not of known..

Tara: Terry, I hate her, but not that much.
I can't fight her. I'd rather just stay away from her.
I wish I was anywhere but here. I'm always worried she's going to walk through that door and start lying to me again, but this time, I'll actually believe her and she'll hurt me again. She always does - she always lies.
Terry, please, just tell me there is someone else for me to spar, before I trash my quarters even more.

OOC: Look, they're family's disfunctional, but not enough that Tara wants to fight her Mom. Besides, Sam wouldn't fight Tara... ever. Plus, Sam is in her 50s, while Tara is still technically a minor.
I'll fix their relationship in my own time, but it won't come to violence. Meanwhile, you're talking about a ship the size of a city centre. I'm sure you can come up with someone for Tara to spar against.

Tara: STOP LYING! EVERY WORD YOU SAY TO ME IS A LIE!
Sam: That's not true!
Tara: SHUT UP!!!
You're the exact reason I left Khitomer!
I HATE YOU!!!
*Tara runs out of sickbay.*
Sam: Tara!
*She runs out to see Tara running down the corridor.*
Tara, wait!
*Tara doesn't respond.*
TARA!
*Sam slinks back into sickbay, sitting down on a biobed and dropping her head as a tear rolls down her cheek.*

Terry: I will when we are out of this area... Right now I have a family issue to deal with Doctor. Just set up an appointment.
*He leaves the office*
Sam.. Just give it some time, if I know Tara she is going to blow off steam give it time alright.
*He leaves the Med bay and does track Tara down.... and finds her in her quarters which is a bit trashed...*
Terry: I see its a fiery temper...
*Tara's eyes are red and her cheeks are wet as she has been crying.*
Tara: I don't suppose you know anyone I could spar with? Fighting seems to help calm me down...
I just can't stand her, Terry. My entire life, she's lied to be, again and again and again. I just can't take it. That's why I left in the first place - I couldn't take being around her anymore.
I hoped maybe she'd have changed since I left, but no. She's still lying to me, even after everything I've been through because of her.
I wish she was dead...

Drake: What you're doing is ILLEGAL! Detaining someone without due process just because they're different? Humans were supposed to have outgrown that by the 23rd Century. You're a symptom of the reason humanity is becoming full of degenerate thugs!
There's a word for people like you; cowards.
Drake to all hands. Do not cooperate with the Raisers. What they're doing is illegal under Republic Law.
You want to know something, Captain? There's nothing wrong with our navigation systems. This ship was built 90 years from now. I'm from the 26th Century and let me tell you something; you lose. New-Types receive equal rights and are regarded as the best of humanity; gifted and not a threat to be ground under your heel.
*Jack taps a control, which triggers a small delta-burst from the deflector, prompting the Enterprise to decloak.*
Thompson *Over Comm*: This is Captain James Thompson of the Enterprise to Raiser Vessels! Your AT shields have been neutralised and I have an arsenal ready to blow all of you to kingdom come if you don't return every last member of the Zhiyal's crew in 2 minutes!
*The Bird of Prey gets hit by a phaser blast, knocking its shields out but doing no actual damage.*
That was a warning shot. Do not test me. You will fail.

Terry: No you don't... I have no parents. Trust me it really does suck immeasurably... I never physically met mine. My father is out there somewhere and has not bothered to contact me or my sister. Much less his friends.
Your mother knows something but at least she told me to some effect... I am angry but more at my father than anything else. She wanted to tell you and I think you need to hear her out. Spare with her and get all this bad blood out..
She might have had a good reason to keep that from you... Or she might not of known..
Morak'kar: Bad mistake...
*Meanwhile Fox on the vessel is going through the corridors as Raisers are trying to get him under control. But failing as there are chunks of them all over the vessel, the blade red hot and vibrating...*
Fox: Captain may I say the ship is mine and I have their attention..
*More come running up trying to fire shots at him but they miss as he zings across the room cutting them into hamburger... *
Morak'kar: It appears you are correct... You have your people back.
Tara: Terry, I hate her, but not that much.
I can't fight her. I'd rather just stay away from her.
I wish I was anywhere but here. I'm always worried she's going to walk through that door and start lying to me again, but this time, I'll actually believe her and she'll hurt me again. She always does - she always lies.
Terry, please, just tell me there is someone else for me to spar, before I trash my quarters even more.

*Drake punches Morak'kar straight in the face, knocking him out. Before his accompanying officer can react, there are 3 cold metal claws sticking into his spinal cord as Jack stands behind him. Jack retracts his neutronium claws back into his knuckles as the Raiser drops to the floor.*
Drake: Sleep tight, you son of a b****.

Terry: She wasn't lying to you that much I can tell, she is afraid. To be honest I don't blame her.
Listen to the telepath...Alright. She does want to explain Tara.. Spar with her. Alright get the things out and solved alright. Trust me if you don't want her alright.
*Fox beams over to Drake's vessel... covered in blood and dripping with it cleaning his blade off as his helmet opens... *
Fox: The prison ship is ours.. No more hostiles.
Drake: Errr... thanks...
Do you mind? We just had the deck cleaned.
Jack: Hello, Fox.
Drake: You know him?
Jack: Long story.

OOC: Look, they're family's disfunctional, but not enough that Tara wants to fight her Mom. Besides, Sam wouldn't fight Tara... ever. Plus, Sam is in her 50s, while Tara is still technically a minor.
I'll fix their relationship in my own time, but it won't come to violence. Meanwhile, you're talking about a ship the size of a city centre. I'm sure you can come up with someone for Tara to spar against.
