Daya: Don't be. I'll be right here. *Kisses her gently.*. Want me to set it up then?
*Pegasus Prime. Mila is forced back a couple of paces, but shifts her weight to counter Johanna each time, refusing to go down.*
Mila *straining*: Not a bad start...
Serah: Karen: *she hurries after Karen looking confused* What happened?

Susan: Sure. *she nods and looks thoughtful, hoping this works out*

Johanna: Better watch out, I'm pretty determined today. *She smirks and grunts as she tries to find an opening*
Karen *panicked*: There's a... spider in our room!
*A palukoo scurries through the lounge, Karen flinching as it approaches, before it reaches the threshold and disappears - a hologram. Karen goes bright red in embarrassment as a couple of passing crewmen try not to laugh.
Susan and Daya's Quarters. Daya smiles, before her PADD pings.*
Daya: Aw, TRIBBLE. I completely forgot, I had a computer program running in Karen's Quar--
I mean, I think I forgot to shut down the holodeck. *Smiles quirkily.*
Johanna: Come on, I'm not going to let you go now. *she smiles before giving Mila a quick peck on the lips, trying to pin her in place*
***
Serah: A prank? Really. *She sighs and takes Karen back into their room*
***
Susan: Oh she is going to be pissed.
*Mila gets one leg behind Johanna's and attempts to sweep it out from under her and take her to the floor.*
Mila: Fine by me, babe.

Karen *angry*: Daya!
*Susan and Daya's Quarters.*
Daya: You don't know what I did yet.
Johanna: Hey! *She tries her best to hold her ground but her stance isn't too good right now.*

Serah: Yeah she seems like the likely culprit.

Susan: I know you though. *She boops her nose* and I know you would do something to TRIBBLE her off.
*Mila takes her down and tries to pin her.
Tora Ziyal.*

Daya: True. *Boops her nose back*. I reprogrammed the EMH emitters in their Quarters to simulate a palukoo when Karen got dressed after her shower. *Smiles cutely.*
Anders and a crew of security agents stand in front of a large sealed chamber.
Anders: alright GT let’s gets this door open and see what treasures await us.
Guilty Tangent: I still think this is a somewhat unwise course of action given the lack of knowledge and security personnel present if we come against something that is a risk I fear that we don’t....
Anders: yeah yeah you made your point. These people here will be plenty I’m sure. Besides they don’t look all that friendly.
She grins as she gives a look back at the armored and well armed team behind her.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Anders takes a step towards the door as a panel activates she places her hand on the control as the door starts to open.
Anders: one door opens....
The group slowly advances into the new chamber as it starts to head down into an even lower level as the security team proceeds in front of Anders with guilty tangent floating close behind.
Anders: wow this place sure does smell doesn’t it.
Guilty tangent: I suspect this chamber has not been opened for many eons.
Anders: ok why don’t we split up and see what we find.
Agent: yes ma’am.
The majority of the security team goes in one direction while one stays with Anders and guilty tangent.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Johanna: Come on, I'm not going to let you go now. *she smiles before giving Mila a quick peck on the lips, trying to pin her in place*

As Anders and her group are exploring the area they come across a large chamber with a console looking device in the center. Anders slowly walks towards it as it lights up on her approach. She sees it’s a library terminal as she starts going through it. Guilty tangent floats over to her.
GT: oh good a forerunner based terminal. I will be able to access this quite easily. Give me just a moment.
He starts to interact with it humming to himself before stopping.
GT: oh my. We need to leave immediately and call the other security team back before it’s to late.
Anders: why what is it?
Before he can answer an alarm sounds in the chamber.
Anders: Anders to security team what’s your status?
She hears a brief moment of panicked screams as the channel goes silent. The other agent with her pulls out his rifle while handing her his pistol.
Agent: ma’am I think we need to move.
Anders: agreed.
As they start to leave the comm channel opens again as they hear a grotesque voice
Primordial: Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room, a fate you must abide!
Anders: I don’t like the sound of that.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Carter is in his office as his personal AI pops up on his desk
Carter: what is it?
Tranquil: sir we have just lost contact with the security at earth that was working with section 31. I have been unable to reach professor Anders or Guilty tangent as well.
Carter: could it be interference of some sort?
Tranquil: not likely. Scans show that section 31 has been unable to reach their own teams at the site as well.
Carter: I want team kilo 5 deployed immediately. And get me Harrison as well.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Anders and the group with her make it towards the entrance they came through as they start to reach it the turn hearing a noise as they see the members of the security team but different. They are mutated and deformed as they oddly move towards the team before letting out a blood curdling scream.
Agent: go sound the alarm!
Anders in a state of shock runs as the last thing she hears from the agent is his rifle firing before he lets out a scream. As she turns a hall she almost runs into firefly who was heading towards her location with a larger and more armed team.
Anders: oh thank god there are these things they they changed the others that went in with me and...
Firefly: doctor please calm down what exactly happened...
Before he can continue they hear the scream again. This time a large number of smaller forms starts moving towards them.
Firefly: open fire! Anders get back to the main camp and alert them.
As they start firing they quickly find that they are very resistant to their energy weapons.
Ooc: and now he’ll starts to break lose
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*Dalos Alpha Prime, Alliance District, the next day. Karlie is engaged in another streetfight, this time against a Talarian girl. She ducks under a hook and throws an uppercut, knocking the Talarian back. Both are pretty battered, wearing bruises, cuts and scrapes. This time there's a small crowd watching. Unbeknownst to Karlie, Satin noticed her leaving home and when Karlie didn't show up at the gym came looking for her in the district (a move Satin knows Kara will tear her a new one for when she finds out). Satin is watching from the back of the crowd, biting her lip as Karlie gets knocked down by a blocked high kick. Karlie quickly scrambles to her feet and spears the Talarian into the wall, throwing an elbow into her face before throwing her to the ground. Karlie pants as she tries to recover, fuelled by adrenaline and aching all over her body. The Talarian tries to pick herself up, spitting out a little blood. Before she can get to her feet, Karlie kicks her in the face, knocking her out.
The crowd cheers as Karlie staggers back against the wall, catching her breath and smiling to herself from the rush of victory. The rush is amplified compared to the rush she gets from an MMA match: the raw physicality adds a whole new level - it ups the stakes.
After a moment to recover, Karlie turns to leave and sees Satin at the back of the crowd, staring at her. Karlie freezes, Satin's face just an expression of disappointment and a hint of betrayal. With a disappointed shake of the head, Satin walks away.
1 hour later, Kara's house. Satin walks in and drops her bag by the door, sitting next to Kara on the sofa, leaning forward on her elbows, conflicted.*
Kara: How was the gym?
Satin: Didn't go.
Kara: Why not?
*Satin sighs.*
Satin: K--...Mom... If you knew someone who was hurting themselves, and needed help, and they wouldn't listen to you... what would you do?
Kara: Hypothetically? It would depend. Do I know anyone who they would listen to?
Satin: Maybe...
Kara: Then I'd tell them. Stage an intervention. Make them confront the problem.
Satin: But... what if you'd already promised not to tell anyone?
Kara: I wouldn't make that promise.
Satin: Maybe they'd promised to stop.
Kara: Then they've already betrayed your trust... You don't owe it to them to keep your promise. You do owe it to them to help them.
*Satin nods, still looking conflicted.*
So what trouble's Karlie in?
Satin: How'd you--?
Kara: She's been round a lot lately. And you don't exactly have many friends, Satin.
Satin: Okay...
*Satin explains everything.*
Kara: Damn...
Satin: You're not mad, are you?
Kara: About you going into the Alliance District? I'm livid. But that can wait. What are you going to do?
Satin: I don't know... How am I supposed to tell Jess about this?
Anders makes it back to main camp where things have already started to fall apart as reports come in from all over the site of things attacking and mutating people. Echo is overseeing the security as they are getting ready to start transporting the remaining civilians away before setting charges.
Anders: do you have enough to destroy the entire facility?
Echo: at the very least it will destroy everything we brought and keep them from following us.
He turns as firefly joins them. He is severely damaged as he walks up.
Echo: good you made it. If we can hold them off a few more minutes we will be clear to detonate the charges.
Firefly nods as he directs Anders to a pad.
They start beaming the team away as they then hear the curdling scream.
Echo: all units ready weapons and fire at will.
As they start to attack it becomes evident quickly that they won’t be able to hold the position very long.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Carter is waiting in his office as his aide Lt. Drawsky walks in with his coffee. Drawsky was not quite his normal chipper self but Carter expected that as he had thrown off his normal routine.
Drawsky: sorry it took a little longer sir. They where busy this morning.
Carter: relax I’m willing to wait for a good cup of caffeine. Will you make sure to send this to castle base and see that Halsey and Holland get?
Drawsky: yes sir.
Carter hands him the padd as he leaves. Carter takes a long inhale of the steam coming from the cup before taking his first drink giving himself a moment of peace before getting back to work.
Carter: what’s the report on kilo 5
Tranquil: they are arriving in the sol system now. They should be able to report within the hour.
Carter: alright. Let Harper know we may have a situation if things are really that bad down there.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Ooc: well from the last one I would expect she is going to tell someone what the other one is doing and she is going to get upset but hopefully in the end will understand why she did what she did.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Anders is waiting as a few moments later Echo and Firefly both beam you the site as well.
Anders: what are we going to do? Can they get here to?
Echo: I don’t know doctor but we are going to make damn sure they don’t get past here.
As they are talking kilo 5 beams down.
Anders: oh thank god
Corvus: Doctor we need a sit rep now.
A few minutes later they are in a temporary command center as security teams are setting up a defense perimeter.
Anders: direct energy weapons don’t seem to be as affective on them though.
Corvus: well it’s a good thing we don’t use weapons like the federation isn’t it. Naomi I want you to start handing out PAC rifles to anyone who wants to use one.
She nods as she leaves the room.
Firefly: this location has only one entrance to the site. Right now it’s currently sealed by a number of force fields we placed but we can assume they won’t hold for long. Destroying the facility is also out of the question. We don’t have the explosives needed to even dent the alloy this place is made of.
Novack: can we at least collapse the entrance?
Firefly: not with what we have. We also don’t know if they can get out from other areas.
Echo: we need to alert starfleet and the federation council.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

Osman: you found her.
Kal: yes. She’s hiding in the Nor’gan nebula. Well defended and hard to sneak into.
Osman: for a group maybe. Not for a single person.
Kal: you can’t go alone. That would be suicide.
Osman: I won’t be alone. You’ve helped all you can. I’ll need a ship for this and I know who to call to get one.
Kal: Derek has orders to detain you if he finds you doesn’t he.
Osman: as far as his crew will be concerned I’m a merc helping with a republic intel operation.
Kal sighs as he puts a hand on her shoulder.
Kal: are you sure this is what you want to do?
Osman: yes. I appreciate all you have done this far but I have to see this through to the end.
Kal: well you know where to find us if you need a place to stay after your done.
Osman embraces him in a tight hug as she then grabs her helmet putting it on.
Osman: take care Kal.
Kal let’s out a chuckle
Kal: you already called him didn’t you.
Osman smiles as she finishes sliding her helmet on.
Osman: I counted on you finding her. One to beam up.
