jorin: ah,,, sho like me then.... good it'll be easier to train you then. hold that thought. *checks his wrist padd.* holy sh*t i think tess found her.
mira: who? *both her and jorin are fairly wasted at this point, the heavy slur in their speech is easily noticeable.*
jorin: cerys, shesh in the food hall... thing.....
jaessa: i'll f*cking kill her!
jorin: no jaessa we need her alive! *before he can stop her she lets out an angered grunt, farely drunk herself but not as bad as jorin and mira. she bolts out of the room.* nooo sthap! *he turns in his stool only to fall over on the ground.* blast it.... legs not working....
mira: ill shtap her! *she runs only to find herself hitting the door frame face first and ricocheting to the ground.* gah! f*ck!... who put that door frame there!
jorin: the engineers that built this ship......
mira: well they shoulda moved it!
keina: well least we found her. *taps her helmet.* all available warriors head for the stations mess hall. stay out of sight until tess gives the signal. also stay out of jaessa's way... shes drunk and p*ssed off....
*a large amount of mandalorian warriors make their way to the vicinity of the mess hall keeping out of view of anyone with in the mess hall.*

cerys: *shrugs*
*the girl remains sitting their looking bored as she seems to be reading some stuff. possible reports.*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Henha: Why do I have a bad feeling? *She sighs, rubbing her temples* Well depends. Searching for someone on the station? 100% okay, they can do that since they're allowed on board. Now if they cause violence... well then things get a bit muddy. See, regardless of whether someone is a mass murdering psychopath on the level of hitler, they would have to talk to station personnel, the commander of the station, or someone like me or Seventeen who are in charge of the station while the rest of the Task Force is busy elsewhere. Kenzie didn't exactly harm anyone, so it was fine. But I get the feeling that the rest of the mandalorians aren't getting the memo.
It'd be like if... someone from the Chiss Ascendancy barged into a republic world and started shooting up the place to capture a prisoner. Which, not really something the chiss would do, but you know it would be a diplomatic incident. Or I guess in your world Donovan, it would be like if Someone from... another country came to america and started a big fight in a town to get a prisoner. There are diplomatic channels for this sort of thing. Not to mention, this prisoner is probably a force wielder. Which means a very messy incident without proper measures being taken if they tried to resist.

???: Thank you miss. *She stays close to kara's legs. The next room has walls made of rusted sharp metal with flesh grafted onto it in various places. Its surprisingly large, and Kara notices movement in the darkness near the ceiling, some large centipede creature begins to crawl around, slowly making its way down. It appears similar to the insect, but there's signs of human flesh attached to its carapace. Around the room are various valves near vents or pipes* W-what is that thing?
***
Reashe: I'm sure I'll find something good. Thank you Kenzie. It means a lot. *She smiles and perks up as she sees the snacks, her stomach growling and she starts to look at what she brought, looking for a mixture of meat snacks and sweets*
Donovan: No, i mean her wearing the uniform like that. Sounds like impersonating an officer. and that is a crime. that's what i meant. also, I'm a US Marshal, So i have done that exact thing you're talking about. it is most literally my job... before the nukes dropped.

Magnus: I mean I won't tell if you don't tell.... I more want these steaks than any books or artifacts.

Freeman: Is this a good idea? We'd literally be committing a crime. we'd wear out our stay here. Plus civilian casualties could be catastrophic. don't get me started on the lives of our brothers and sisters it would cost. There is a time for the Mandalorian way of looking at things, and a time for a jedi way of looking at things. maybe we should consider those peacekeeping ways I've heard so damn much about.

keina: *taps her helmet patching into station security.* hi this is keina from the mandalorian ship tracinya who evers in charge of the station right now, can you get all civillians out of the mess hall, we're looking to apprehend a criminal from our galaxy and wed like to do it as clean as possible.
jorin: well thats something at least...
******
cerys: is something going on?
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
*Henha gets a call since she's on the station, though the message is also relayed to Seventeen*
Security: *through Henha's communicator embedded in her sash* Captain Henha, we're getting a hail from the Tracinya, asking us to evacuate so they may apprehend a criminal.
Henha: I'm already here. *she leans back in her seat* Go ahead and make the announcement, I doubt if we told them to stand down for now they would, they seem to find this prisoner especially important. Send some security teams over here just in case. In a real fight I doubt they would handle the mandalorians, but at the same time the Mandalorians wouldn't risk killing them.
*The Comms in the mess hall activate*
Security: Please evacuate the mess hall. This is not a drill. For questions please direct them to Security itself, there is a potential prisoner loose.
*The Officers and civilians begin to file out of the room, some reluctant to go but generally conceding to allow security to do their work*
***
*Outside some more Modern Starflert, Klingon and Romulan officers show up outside the mess hall, along with a handful of Macos just in case.*
***
Reashe: So you going to eat with me? *she starts eating some chips and some kind of jerky*
***
*The girl covers her ear and the Centipede gives a sickening hiss as it comes to the ground, it stands up, multiple times taller than Kara is, it would probably be able to easily kill a normal human at its size. It hisses once more before lunging at her, thrusting forward with its mandible outspread*
Donovan: *puts his arm around Cerys and stands up* we should get out of here before all that crazy stuff happens... *Attempts to walk out amongst the civilians with Cerys* we'll talk on this later. finish up our meals and all. I don't need us to get into a shoot out my first day here.

kara: *portals in a live grenade leaving it on the ground as she grabs the girl and rolls out of the way of the centipede. soon after the grenade goes off right in its face. she also fires a few shots from her pistol into the under side of it keeping the girl held in one arm.* hold on tight to me.

jaessa: no amount of hair dye can keep me from recognizing that aura cerys. *ignites one end of her red double bladed lightsaber pointing it at cerys.* if you want off this station you'll have to get thru me and everyone outside the mess hall first. so whats it ganna be huh?!

"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."

*The Centipede lets out a pained screech, some of its legs damaged in the explosion and it takes the bullets, ichor dripping onto the ground before it rushes around the room, the back of its body being used like a whip, smacking Kara and the girl sending them against the wall before it tries to ram them again. The girl pulls on the valve next to them, still in Kara's arm and when the Centipede lunges again its blasted by the burning steam from the pipe on the wall, letting out a sickening sound as the flesh on its body retracts, revealing softer parts underneath*

She then points her blade at its head as from above a large bolt of crimson lightning arc out hitting the centipede in the face and blowing off a large portion of it*

Kenzie: oh I didn’t mean it like that... I’m just larger and need a lot of food to maintain my mass.....

*The Centipede gives one last hiss, trying to crawl before curling up and stiffening as insects do when they perish, the body of it fading away to dust. After a moment the room grows quiet, the girl comes over and pokes where the centipede was with her foot, before a loud air raid siren sounds and the room begins to peel away, the walls peeling and the flesh fading as it returns to a normal basement, looking like a storeroom though there's various suspicious signs of potentially criminal activity, though it gets harder to focus on them*
*everything starts getting dark as she nears the end of the memory*
Man: *sounds like a potential father* Heather! Where are you? *slowly he manages to come down the stairs, the store owner with him, seeming baffled as to how the girl could've gotten down here.* Heather! I've been looking all over for you...
Heather: *the father rushes and hugs her tight* I'm sorry Daddy. It... it happened again.
Man: Don't worry... I'm here now. Let's get out of here and go home. *he sounds concerned*

Henha: Donovan listen to her. Don't make this any harder than it has to be.
Donovan: I believe in things like Justice, a fair and speedy trial, and innocent until proven guilty. Have you given this woman any of these things, cause the look in your eye, I don't think you have. when I did the job you're doing right now, at least I had a warrant. You start out with that if you have one. Else you're just a bunch of mercs kidnapping a woman.

jaessa: *closes her eyes letting out a heavy sigh as she puts her saber away.* you know the thing i hate the most is that hes right.... all we have is our testimony and how the f*ck are zombies created thru sith alchemy ganna hold up in a court of law hell any of the force related slaughter that shed done over the years isnt ganna hold up either. scr*w it, let her go, i'll have my point proven one way or another.
tess: jaessa.... you're kidding right?
jaessa: what the f*ck can we do about it legally?! all of the crimes shes committed are back in our galaxy and shes done nothing here to break the law so there is literally nothing we can do.... shes every criminals dream. able to do horrid unspeakable things and get away with it scott f*cking free.... adn none of the powers of this galaxy can do anything either cuz like i said before she hasnt committed any crimes.....
tess: i got shot in the goddamned knee over this!
jaessa: sorry tess, theres no such thing as justice when you can bend the law over and make it your b*tch.
cerys: are you feeling ok? usually this would be the point where you explode with anger.
jaessa: oh now you wanna act like a mother... well its about 4000 years too late.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Donovan: you're one to talk, you allowed them to come over here weapons drawn without even a warrant. And now you talk peace that someone has spoken up. *Lowers his gun, spinning it on his finger before putting it back in his holster* but, it would seem we have resolution. If only you had started with this, I wouldn't have shot your spy... Also spy to spy, it helps when you blend in, not stick out like a sore thumb. How did you even know it was her?

Magnus: I was board cause Grandpa and that werewolf started doing westerns on the holodeck and there was nothing to do. and you felt somewhere strange, so I opened a portal and had my life threatened. I had an amazing steak though

Krystal: Actually... I think Lexington is here at DS9. Was thinking of taking her back to K-13, but we still have Exeter, and no where to dock her for use later so... I'm kinda trying to figure things out as we go.
I'm going to stick with Exeter and her rapid bolt emitters for the duration of the Hur'q mess, but it will be good to have Lexington back.

Henha: They were doing it without permission, I was attempting to give them some leeway, since we could potentially resolve this peacefully, which we have. You argued before that Tess could get in trouble for impersonating an officer. Yes she could. But so could Cerys. I wanted a peaceful resolution. With how Kenzie acted, they were likely going to come over whether they had permission or not, letting them come so we could talk to them helped prevent needless fighting, except for you shooting someone. Think Logically. *She walks over to him holding her hand out* I'm going to have to confiscate your weapon. Or weapons plural if you have more.
Also... he's right Tess. You fooled Cerys and Donovan, but you were very painfully obvious to people from this universe.

Reashe: I'm glad you're happy. Sometimes things can get pretty hot here, but we get plenty of peaceful time to relax. So, I know a bit about you, wanna ask some stuff about me? Get to know me better?

Krystal: I would assume so... I've had a lot to go over on our trip back from Gamma so I don't know all the details. And frankly with all the craziness I can understand some details falling through the cracks. Not like the Hur'q are making things easy, let alone a certain Founder trying to hide something in favor of us being glorified flyswatters for her.
Other Universe Nick: good old Lexington. You're sending her to K-13? Or are you leaving her here?

Donovan: first thing she did when she got here was pull out a weapon. Literally one of the first things she did, and you're gonna say that. You're not touching my gun. What I did was in defense of others. If you don't like that I'm taking the ship I came in and going somewhere else. But I'm not giving up my right to bear arms. You're over here saying to "think logically" but I had to point out the fact they didn't have a warrant when that should have been your job before they stepped foot here. I want to talk to the commanding officer of this station. The person in charge. An admiral, something.

matt: i certainly hope so, because if they had arrived BEFORE we left (and they did - alex even pointed it out) and you still brought this relic instead of her, i'd have to question what you were smoking, deciding to take a ship armed with relativistic - and thus highly inaccurate - pulse weapons over a ship with instantaneously-hitting lightspeed beam weapons against an enemy whose primary combat craft are highly maneuverable, fast and in large numbers
*one of the wolfmen murmurs to the other* 'right to bear arms'? where exactly does he think he is - the old united states? *of course, donovan, lacking a universal translater, hears none of this, every noise coming from them sounding like a mix of barks, growls, yips, chuffs and other canid noises, as would anyone else present lacking one*

Krystal: *crosses her arms across her chest* Flak Screen tactics Matt. We're fighting a swarm. Lexington can carve a single ship up like a Christmas Turkey, but against a mass swarm attack... picking out single targets won't help us. And sweeping beams around is not quite as effective against a chaotic cloud of ships. Also Exeter is smaller and more maneuverable. 366 meters vs 685.
And so far it has worked out pretty well.
Unfortunately... swarm tactics are a vulnerability Starfleet never really faced until now. We're used to larger ships and fleet formations. Not... Hur'q. I need that mobility more than I need the size.
(And don't try and say she's bigger, because NONE of the visual cues says 700+ except for one scene, that is immediately contradicted in the next scene. The Kelvin Connie is just as notorious for magic size changing as the Defiant herself.)
jaessa: *walks over picking up tess. a mix of rage and defeat on her face as she looks over at donovan.* i dont know what you got out of digging in complete strangers affairs but i hope it was worth it for you.
tess: lets just go....
jaessa: yeah lets get you patched up... *she turns and walks out the rest of the mandalorians begrudgingly following her back to the ship.*
******
cerys: you sound like a mandalorian, which you just subsequently p*ssed off an entire ship of. they didnt need a warrent to take me back to my galaxy, how things are done where im from are far different then they are in this galaxy and where you're from. the only thing you did was get her to realize that the law doesnt cover force abilities which frankly is quite true where im from. jaessa just didnt want to break any laws here. perhaps you should research how things work in this galaxy.

valendria: *engulfs nexa in a hug purring loudly.* are you alright! i was worried sick

"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
*matt facepaws* a sovereign class has sixteen beam arrays - six-TRIBBLE-TEEN! that's sixteen different targets you can be firing guaranteed one-hit kills against every few seconds compared to however many emitters THIS ship has which i know is nowhere near that amount...do you even KNOW how the enterprise belonging to this class of ship was destroyed in the kelvin timeline? they got torn apart - by a SWARM of drone craft
and the hell starfleet has never faced swarm tactics before - they've faced them twice now - once against control during the battle of xahea and again during the entire dominion war

Seventeen: Alright I'll be over there shortly. I guess I can bring his friends along, they might calm him down. If he continues acting aggressive you can put him in the brig.
Henha: Got it. *before Jaessa leavs* Jaessa, if you want you can take her to sick bay, they'll be able to treat her wound faster than your doctors can. *she rubs her temples* Donovan. I'm trying to give you some room. This is a new universe for you. Acclimation can be difficult. But they didn't fire their weapons. While yes they brandished them, you were the only one to actually assault anyone. Just calm down. And this isn't earth. And this isn't America. You play by different laws here.
*Seventeen, Ethan, and Jenny arrive on the station and head over to the Mess Hall*
Seventeen: *she looks over at Jaessa as she passes her* We'll need to have a discussion about rules after your friends been treated. *then she looks over at Donovan once she enters* So I got some of what happened. The Mandalorians came over to apprehend her, but they're not a government so they don't exactly have authority to just take her. Jaessa stood down after he shot one of the Mandalorians. I know you're new here but please you can't be shooting people, especially in a situation you have no Authority.

jaessa: i'll f*cking kill her!
jorin: no jaessa we need her alive! *before he can stop her she lets out an angered grunt, farely drunk herself but not as bad as jorin and mira. she bolts out of the room.* nooo sthap! *he turns in his stool only to fall over on the ground.* blast it.... legs not working....
mira: ill shtap her! *she runs only to find herself hitting the door frame face first and ricocheting to the ground.* gah! f*ck!... who put that door frame there!
jorin: the engineers that built this ship......
mira: well they shoulda moved it!
keina: well least we found her. *taps her helmet.* all available warriors head for the stations mess hall. stay out of sight until tess gives the signal. also stay out of jaessa's way... shes drunk and p*ssed off....
*a large amount of mandalorian warriors make their way to the vicinity of the mess hall keeping out of view of anyone with in the mess hall.*
******
cerys: *shrugs*
*the girl remains sitting their looking bored as she seems to be reading some stuff. possible reports.*
It'd be like if... someone from the Chiss Ascendancy barged into a republic world and started shooting up the place to capture a prisoner. Which, not really something the chiss would do, but you know it would be a diplomatic incident. Or I guess in your world Donovan, it would be like if Someone from... another country came to america and started a big fight in a town to get a prisoner. There are diplomatic channels for this sort of thing. Not to mention, this prisoner is probably a force wielder. Which means a very messy incident without proper measures being taken if they tried to resist.

???: Thank you miss. *She stays close to kara's legs. The next room has walls made of rusted sharp metal with flesh grafted onto it in various places. Its surprisingly large, and Kara notices movement in the darkness near the ceiling, some large centipede creature begins to crawl around, slowly making its way down. It appears similar to the insect, but there's signs of human flesh attached to its carapace. Around the room are various valves near vents or pipes* W-what is that thing?
***
Reashe: I'm sure I'll find something good. Thank you Kenzie. It means a lot. *She smiles and perks up as she sees the snacks, her stomach growling and she starts to look at what she brought, looking for a mixture of meat snacks and sweets*
****************
Magnus: I mean I won't tell if you don't tell.... I more want these steaks than any books or artifacts.
**************
Freeman: Is this a good idea? We'd literally be committing a crime. we'd wear out our stay here. Plus civilian casualties could be catastrophic. don't get me started on the lives of our brothers and sisters it would cost. There is a time for the Mandalorian way of looking at things, and a time for a jedi way of looking at things. maybe we should consider those peacekeeping ways I've heard so damn much about.
***********
Nick: we're nearly half way there!
******
kenzie: dont worry about it... its the least i can do. *the box has anywhere from chips to sweets and other items*
******
keina: *taps her helmet patching into station security.* hi this is keina from the mandalorian ship tracinya who evers in charge of the station right now, can you get all civillians out of the mess hall, we're looking to apprehend a criminal from our galaxy and wed like to do it as clean as possible.
jorin: well thats something at least...
******
cerys: is something going on?
Security: *through Henha's communicator embedded in her sash* Captain Henha, we're getting a hail from the Tracinya, asking us to evacuate so they may apprehend a criminal.
Henha: I'm already here. *she leans back in her seat* Go ahead and make the announcement, I doubt if we told them to stand down for now they would, they seem to find this prisoner especially important. Send some security teams over here just in case. In a real fight I doubt they would handle the mandalorians, but at the same time the Mandalorians wouldn't risk killing them.
*The Comms in the mess hall activate*
Security: Please evacuate the mess hall. This is not a drill. For questions please direct them to Security itself, there is a potential prisoner loose.
*The Officers and civilians begin to file out of the room, some reluctant to go but generally conceding to allow security to do their work*
***
*Outside some more Modern Starflert, Klingon and Romulan officers show up outside the mess hall, along with a handful of Macos just in case.*
***
Reashe: So you going to eat with me? *she starts eating some chips and some kind of jerky*
***
*The girl covers her ear and the Centipede gives a sickening hiss as it comes to the ground, it stands up, multiple times taller than Kara is, it would probably be able to easily kill a normal human at its size. It hisses once more before lunging at her, thrusting forward with its mandible outspread*
****************
Magnus: what do you say to that? you look like you need company.
************
Freeman: This is gonna end badly, i know it.
******
kenzie: yeah i got got a plate of stuff for myself. *she pulls out a large plate of steaks, chicken, pork slabs and other such meats.* i would share this too but i have a high protein diet.
******
jaz: i cannot speak for what is not mine, you must ask your mother.
******
*the mando warriors wait for the civilians to file out.*
tess: *drops a few feet in front of cerys and donovan* oh no you arnt going anywhere.
cerys: who the hell are you?
tess: you dont know me. *points to the door way with one of her arms as jaessa walks thru.* but you know her.
jaessa: no amount of hair dye can keep me from recognizing that aura cerys. *ignites one end of her red double bladed lightsaber pointing it at cerys.* if you want off this station you'll have to get thru me and everyone outside the mess hall first. so whats it ganna be huh?!
cerys: i dont know what you're talking about
***************
Magnus: Geeze, you're no fun.
matt: TRIBBLE dumbass...anyway *he turns to krystal* i can't promise the shuttle will be coming back intact, since it will be taking a trip fairly close to a strong gravity well...i'd use my own ship, but it's still on the lexington, which isn't here *completely unaware that the lexington arrived at DS9 before they left for the gamma quadrant*

Besides, your little peashooter is going to do jack sh*t against a force user. Now I'd prefer if we could all talk about this like sensible people. Avoiding more violence.
***
*The Centipede lets out a pained screech, some of its legs damaged in the explosion and it takes the bullets, ichor dripping onto the ground before it rushes around the room, the back of its body being used like a whip, smacking Kara and the girl sending them against the wall before it tries to ram them again. The girl pulls on the valve next to them, still in Kara's arm and when the Centipede lunges again its blasted by the burning steam from the pipe on the wall, letting out a sickening sound as the flesh on its body retracts, revealing softer parts underneath*
***
Reashe: Oh so I the dainty princess gets snack, and you the shining knight gets steak? *she smiles teasingly. She doesn't mind only having snacks, she's just having some fun with her joke*
Jaessa: I’m trying to be peaceful here but now you do TRIBBLE like hurting my family..... I’ll give you this one chance... get the f*ck out of here you’ve got nothing to do with this *she stares down Donovan with a look of intense anger*
Cerys: that was unexpected...
******
Kara: *lets out an angered grunt setting the girl down* stay here I’ll be right back. *she looks over porting in a much larger claymore engulfed in hellfire, then bolts over to the weak spot and jumps in the air cleaving it heavily with an explosion of hellfire from the blade finishing the job and cleaving it in two. She then points her blade at its head as from above a large bolt of crimson lightning arc out hitting the centipede in the face and blowing off a large portion of it*
******
Kenzie: oh I didn’t mean it like that... I’m just larger and need a lot of food to maintain my mass.....
***
*The Centipede gives one last hiss, trying to crawl before curling up and stiffening as insects do when they perish, the body of it fading away to dust. After a moment the room grows quiet, the girl comes over and pokes where the centipede was with her foot, before a loud air raid siren sounds and the room begins to peel away, the walls peeling and the flesh fading as it returns to a normal basement, looking like a storeroom though there's various suspicious signs of potentially criminal activity, though it gets harder to focus on them*
*everything starts getting dark as she nears the end of the memory*
Man: *sounds like a potential father* Heather! Where are you? *slowly he manages to come down the stairs, the store owner with him, seeming baffled as to how the girl could've gotten down here.* Heather! I've been looking all over for you...
Heather: *the father rushes and hugs her tight* I'm sorry Daddy. It... it happened again.
Man: Don't worry... I'm here now. Let's get out of here and go home. *he sounds concerned*
Heather: Thank you for helping me! *she waves to Kara, the man looking confused and the memory shudders before ending, the seal glowing bright on Nexa's back and she gasps*
***
Henha: Donovan listen to her. Don't make this any harder than it has to be.
************
Donovan: I believe in things like Justice, a fair and speedy trial, and innocent until proven guilty. Have you given this woman any of these things, cause the look in your eye, I don't think you have. when I did the job you're doing right now, at least I had a warrant. You start out with that if you have one. Else you're just a bunch of mercs kidnapping a woman.
******
kara: see you round kiddo. *she waves as her mental projection fades, back in the real world she opens her eyes and looks around.* well.... that was interesting.
valendria: is the symbol supposed to glow like that?
kara: well im pretty sure i royally f*cked with one of her memories so... im not sure how the seal will react to that... wait magnus?... how the hell did you get here? and why are you here?
******
jaessa: *closes her eyes letting out a heavy sigh as she puts her saber away.* you know the thing i hate the most is that hes right.... all we have is our testimony and how the f*ck are zombies created thru sith alchemy ganna hold up in a court of law hell any of the force related slaughter that shed done over the years isnt ganna hold up either. scr*w it, let her go, i'll have my point proven one way or another.
tess: jaessa.... you're kidding right?
jaessa: what the f*ck can we do about it legally?! all of the crimes shes committed are back in our galaxy and shes done nothing here to break the law so there is literally nothing we can do.... shes every criminals dream. able to do horrid unspeakable things and get away with it scott f*cking free.... adn none of the powers of this galaxy can do anything either cuz like i said before she hasnt committed any crimes.....
tess: i got shot in the goddamned knee over this!
jaessa: sorry tess, theres no such thing as justice when you can bend the law over and make it your b*tch.
cerys: are you feeling ok? usually this would be the point where you explode with anger.
jaessa: oh now you wanna act like a mother... well its about 4000 years too late.
*********
Magnus: I was board cause Grandpa and that werewolf started doing westerns on the holodeck and there was nothing to do. and you felt somewhere strange, so I opened a portal and had my life threatened. I had an amazing steak though
I'm going to stick with Exeter and her rapid bolt emitters for the duration of the Hur'q mess, but it will be good to have Lexington back.

Nexa: *She opens her eyes, slowly looking around, breathing deep* I... remember her name... Heather... It doesn't hurt to think about her... Wait who's that guy?

Reashe: I'm glad you're happy. Sometimes things can get pretty hot here, but we get plenty of peaceful time to relax. So, I know a bit about you, wanna ask some stuff about me? Get to know me better?
********
Donovan: first thing she did when she got here was pull out a weapon. Literally one of the first things she did, and you're gonna say that. You're not touching my gun. What I did was in defense of others. If you don't like that I'm taking the ship I came in and going somewhere else. But I'm not giving up my right to bear arms. You're over here saying to "think logically" but I had to point out the fact they didn't have a warrant when that should have been your job before they stepped foot here. I want to talk to the commanding officer of this station. The person in charge. An admiral, something.
*one of the wolfmen murmurs to the other* 'right to bear arms'? where exactly does he think he is - the old united states? *of course, donovan, lacking a universal translater, hears none of this, every noise coming from them sounding like a mix of barks, growls, yips, chuffs and other canid noises, as would anyone else present lacking one*

And so far it has worked out pretty well.
Unfortunately... swarm tactics are a vulnerability Starfleet never really faced until now. We're used to larger ships and fleet formations. Not... Hur'q. I need that mobility more than I need the size.
(And don't try and say she's bigger, because NONE of the visual cues says 700+ except for one scene, that is immediately contradicted in the next scene. The Kelvin Connie is just as notorious for magic size changing as the Defiant herself.)
tess: lets just go....
jaessa: yeah lets get you patched up... *she turns and walks out the rest of the mandalorians begrudgingly following her back to the ship.*
******
cerys: you sound like a mandalorian, which you just subsequently p*ssed off an entire ship of. they didnt need a warrent to take me back to my galaxy, how things are done where im from are far different then they are in this galaxy and where you're from. the only thing you did was get her to realize that the law doesnt cover force abilities which frankly is quite true where im from. jaessa just didnt want to break any laws here. perhaps you should research how things work in this galaxy.
******
valendria: *engulfs nexa in a hug purring loudly.* are you alright! i was worried sick
kara: to be fair he was only doing what i told him to do cuz there a lot of universal ending knowledge here.
honestly on surprised you havnt decked me yet....
******
kenzie: whats it like where you're from?
and the hell starfleet has never faced swarm tactics before - they've faced them twice now - once against control during the battle of xahea and again during the entire dominion war

Other Universe Nick: He's got you there. That exact class against a swarm... Speaking of which have you found him yet in this universe?
Seventeen: Alright I'll be over there shortly. I guess I can bring his friends along, they might calm him down. If he continues acting aggressive you can put him in the brig.
Henha: Got it. *before Jaessa leavs* Jaessa, if you want you can take her to sick bay, they'll be able to treat her wound faster than your doctors can. *she rubs her temples* Donovan. I'm trying to give you some room. This is a new universe for you. Acclimation can be difficult. But they didn't fire their weapons. While yes they brandished them, you were the only one to actually assault anyone. Just calm down. And this isn't earth. And this isn't America. You play by different laws here.
*Seventeen, Ethan, and Jenny arrive on the station and head over to the Mess Hall*
Seventeen: *she looks over at Jaessa as she passes her* We'll need to have a discussion about rules after your friends been treated. *then she looks over at Donovan once she enters* So I got some of what happened. The Mandalorians came over to apprehend her, but they're not a government so they don't exactly have authority to just take her. Jaessa stood down after he shot one of the Mandalorians. I know you're new here but please you can't be shooting people, especially in a situation you have no Authority.
Ethan: Donovan... we're not in the wasteland anymore... we have to follow their rules...

Nexa: *she snuggles into Valendria, holding her tight* I'm alright. In fact... I feel better than before. Thank you for helping keep me safe.

Reashe: Well, the Chiss Ascendancy was well known for being spies, but they never choose fights unless forced. They prefer to avoid making enemies, and they had partially allied with the Empire. For the most part, its extremely peaceful living there, though there's this strong sense of duty for the Ascendancy, they don't encourage our people to leave.
