rakesh: it is something...the spell came up positive - SOMETHING is influencing you, and things connected to delgado...because blood does not spontaneously change from red to brown
if defense contract becomes part of the patrol system, i'm all for that; i used to like doing it along with sh'marr and traelus back when i had time because there was nothing better to do between STF cooldowns besides play dabo
rakesh: a detection spell - it can detect foreign magic, psionics or any other form of energy on a person, regardless of how well it tries to conceal itself from detection...and the reapers can very well get into your head - they got into mine
rakesh: the soviets thought their borders were an iron curtain too...i don't need to remind you how THAT turned out *he lifts his paw up and mutters the words for a spell that will reveal the presence of foreign magicks, psionics or other energies on a person*
*rakesh reaches out and clocks alex hard on the head, causing the latter to see an explosion of light behind his eyes shortly before falling unconscious* he really needs to learn to stop clinging so tightly to something like a dog clinging to a bone
alex: the psionic glamour eli put up to try and disguise himself - as if something that pitiful would ever work on those who can bypass it by means of scent or power
alex: is it gone, or do i need to keep battering it until it shatters? because i am FAR and above a snot-nosed child playing with forces he can barely comprehend the true power of
*he snarls loudly and slams his fist into the ground, unleashing a massive pulse of dispelling energy against the psychic compulsion infecting nick, the strength of the dispel fueled by his rage*
alex: the color is not what matters...what matters is that it isn't CARDASSIAN blood - it's mixed human/trill blood...and more importantly, it's blood whose DNA profile has enough alleles in common with commander victoria's DNA to be a familial match...as i informed you earlier and you brushed me off as a crackerjack
*alex pulls his P.A.W out of its holster and scans the blood on nick, then glances at the results - at which point he grins wolfishly and hands the P.A.W to nick*
*rakesh grabs nick's shoulder and they both flame back down, after he makes sure eli isn't going to die on everyone, coming muzzle-to-muzzle with alex who repeats his earlier question after calming down from their sudden unexpected appearance*
does this affect assimilated BoPs in cure space? you know, the frigate-rank ships that have almost twice the HP of borg spheres, which are CRUISER-rank
*meanwhile, alex has returned to the surface with bashir in tow (because i'm tired of waiting on rose to respond) and steps outside the ship to a much diminished party* um...where the hell is everyone?
*rakesh activates the final beacon, and everyone is immediately transported to sickbay since he informed the exeter's transporter operator to beam them straight there as soon as they got a solid lock*
rakesh: the admiral and one of the tepes crew have been injured - badly in the case of the latter, possible lower body paralysis; get sickbay ready *he says quickly before dashing out to grab pattern enhancers*
*rakesh gets to his feet* try to get up and put your weight on that leg - make sure i didn't TRIBBLE up and vanish the bones entirely instead of fixing them *he turns to eli next* now what the hell did you do to yourself?
*the wolf holds his paw over the broken leg* i hope this works right...*he then mutters before incanting* ossio emendo! *at which point krystal should feel the broken bone wrenching itself back into place, followed by the break mending - though that part won't be felt over the resulting white-hot agony*
*a large stream of fire comes racing down the cliff edge and comes in parallel to krystal, grabbing her and bringing her safely down to the bottom near eli, where it coalesces back into the brown-and-red-pattern-furred lycanthrope*
