Helen: *Crying out in pain and roaring in rage, her next blow winds Kira and she hears Helen knock her arm back into place and roaring out in pain... suddenly as Kira feels hands gripping her throat tightly as savage blood covered face staring at her...*
You first b****
*Kira lifts her legs up and wraps them tightly around Helen's neck, using her arms to loosen Helen's stranglehold on her.*
*Helen chomps down again this time a chunk of leg comes off and she is free but she stands up... with a pistol seen... She tosses Kira a hypo.. *
Helen: Come on.. Come on.. get up... take it and get up
*She jabs herself with one ignoring the pain and red in her vision from the bloody wound on her head... *
You want to see death eyes... then here we shall meet death's brother sleep before we meet the man himself...
Now get up!
*Kira jabs the hypo into her arm, waiting a second before getting to her knees, looking up at Helen with a bloodlust.*
Kira *hateful*: Why don't you go down?
*She spears into her, tackling her to the ground and locking up with her as the two roll on the concrete several times, Kira taking every chance she gets to knee Helen in the gut or punch her in the face.*

Kira *hateful*: Why don't you go down?
*She spears into her, tackling her to the ground and locking up with her as the two roll on the concrete several times, Kira taking every chance she gets to knee Helen in the gut or punch her in the face.*
*Knocking her off with a pistol whip, both draw pistols and stand there as time goes still *
*Kira stands still, glaring at her sister - the source of so much pain and heartbreak.*
Kira *hatefully*: Before we do this... why?
Why did you do what you did to me 2 years ago?
WE WERE SISTERS, HEL! WHY?!
Helen: Why? You think there is reason to those urges? There isn't.. Monsters such as them don't care about siblings... Look at what they took from us. Look at what they make you give.
Helen: Why? You think there is reason to those urges? There isn't.. Monsters such as them don't care about siblings... Look at what they took from us. Look at what they make you give.
*She steadies...*
Ready?
*They both fire, and both fall to the ground.
Kira slowly pulls herself over to Helen, using all her strength to punch Helen's body in the face out of hatred as tears roll down her face. Her hate-filled grunting starts to break into sobbing from the pain of the phaser burn and all the memories of heartbreak and brutality Helen put her through, the last of her hatred coming out.
As Kira starts to weaken, she feels two arms wrap around her shoulders, pulling her into a hug as Hawk holds her while she cries, looking up as the husks approach.
He pulls out an explosive bolt.*
Hawk: Better dead then one of those things... right?
*Kira nods, still crying.
Hawk puts a finger over a control on his wristguard as they continue to approach. Both of them close their eyes when everything stops.
They feel a searing warmth over their skin as they hear the husks scream. They look up, seeing a blue glow around them as a figure stands before them, looking at the dead husks, hand held out with a lack of commitment.*
*Dorman and company are moving along the tunnels as the Elibisi fan out. More wounded are with them considering the fight before this. *
Major: How did they know where to hit us...
Dorman: I suspect they had inside help, but why call the Elibisi...
Williams: Sir I don't think they did.. I think that whoever the masked man was.. He was under a time limit and I think the vanguard units he was waiting for got taken out by both Hawk and Kira and the Elibisi...
Dorman: That makes sense. But even then he knew it would be risky and that he would still whittle us down... Which he did to a very good degree.
But we can imagine losing a unit like that was bad for him.
Hammond: Thins project, as far as President Ki'ala is concerned, is part of the war effort.
As I'm sure Captain DeFalco has already told you, the original Lanco III operation was intended to uncover Iconian technology - or technology of comparable advancement - so we could reverse engineer it and use it against them. Our goal this time is the same, except this time our aim is to find technology we can use to fight the Eblisi, or resources to help complete Angel Halo.
Because of the importance, my Government has formed the Republic Gateway Command from the RNF to manage the Gateway and this mission, and all our governments have formed a Joint Oversight Committee for the project. The Synthesisers have ceded this planet to the Republic and have lobbied to become an Associate Member of the Republic.
John: Associate Member?
Hammond: With the war, a large chunk of our protectorates have lobbied for membership - more than we can actually take. The President signed a bill that means all full members of the Republic get 2 votes in the Interplanetary Council and Senate while Associate Members get 1 vote. They're also granted greater independence than full members.
John: That's just a polite way of saying they have to fend for themselves.
Hammond: Above my pay, captain. All I know is that the Synthesisers have given us full access to this system, and with the Lanco Nebula surrounding it, this is the most secure location in the Quadrant right now.
Under the terms of the J.O.C., the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire and whichever C.I.S. member the Confederate Congress elects will each be given a slot for one Gateway Expeditionary Team. At the get-go, including these 4 teams, we'll have 10 GE teams. Most of the Republic Teams will be from the RNFMC, some from the RAO.

*Hawk and Kira are being helped along by Ryan and Delta Squad. Ryan walks alongside them, a sense of hopelessness in his stride.*
OOC: I'm really enjoying showing how this war has hit Ryan. If you want to have him and Dorman talk...?

I do have doubts that this kind of thing will last very long or be well received. Has Fali given any hints at helping us given his quarrel with the Dominion...

John: Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it.
Lieutenant: Sir, the R.S.S. Prometheus is in orbit. Admiral Hammond is beaming down to the Alpha Site now.
John: Good. Make sure there's a shuttle to bring him here.
Lieutenant: Already done.
John: Well, gentlemen, any questions before the Admiral arrives?

It is a mad mad world sister... it is a nightmare where only death is that ultimate freedom from this plane...
*Kira roars out as she rolls Helen onto her back.*
Kira *rageful*: I don't care... so long as I get to see you die by my hands...
*She tightens the hold, making it nearly impossible for Helen to breathe as black spots start springing into her own vision, her skin tingling.*
