  5. (( Bridge- United Orion Starship Orion Glory, 2.9 hours from Duronis ))
     
    :: Xoren looked out at the viewscreen, the faint dot reprsenting the USS Ashoka soon resolving itself into the image of a Defiant Class starship. Although still outside weapons range, Xoren knew the Defiant Class she was facing would be a formidable challenge, one she and her sister ship, the Orion Pride, would be more than willing to take on::
     
    :: The tall Orion woman, thinner than most, with long brunette hair down her back, with piercing green eyes to match her green skin, had been more than happy to take on this last minute mission. Originally, her job was to rendezvous with the ship carrying the assassins, but that plan was now shelved due to their failure to complete their mission. Unlike Orions, those fools did not choose to kill themselves for their failure...instead, they were captured, and most likely now being interrogated. Xoren had been busy , her fleet raiding dilithium ships and stealing their cargo, stealing so much of it over the quadrant that there was now an acute shortage..and the Orions had cornered the market. Her exploits had made her rich, but not as rich as the commander of the three Orion ships now racing towards her prize::
     
    ::Her orders were to either kill or capture a Vulcan named Varaal, who was making his way to Duronis Two. She was also well aware that this was Quiana's territory, but The Council tasked her to deal with this threat. Hers was not to ask why...following orders had been very lucrative for her in the past, and she saw no reason for that to change.::
     
    :: Closing on her target, her Communications Officer spoke::
     
    Comm Officer: Commander...I am receiving a hail from the Federation starship...
     
    Xoren: Put it on the speaker....
     
    ::The next voice she heard was that of the commander of the USS Ashoka::
     
    Zhao:=/\= Orion vessels, this is Captain Marina Zhao of the USS Ashoka. We are on an emergency mission to the Federation Embassy at Duronis II.=/\=
     
    :: Standard Starfleet claptrap...they always want to talk before fighting. Before her Coomm Officer could ask the next question, Xoren responded:
     
    Xoren: Do not respond. Let them choke on silence....Tactical...charge weapons and go to battle alert...that will be our answer...
     
    Tactical Officer: Yes, Commander....weapons charged...
     
    :: Once again, the Federation starship hailed them::
     
    Zhao:=/\= Orion vessels, we have detected that your weapons systems have already been activated. Stand down immediately or we will open fire upon reaching weapons range. You have been warned.=/\=
     
    :: That was key. This Starfleet captain was going to open fire as soon as she had an opportunity. Her ships did not have the range of Starfleet weaponry..they were never meant to combat Starfleet vessels. It meant surviving the extra 50,000 kilometers range the Ashoka had on them, which meant the Ashoka would get off the first salvo. It meant a knife fight at extremely close range. Turning to her First Officer, a smaller Orion male named Seron, Xoren spoke::
     
    Xoren: Order the Orion Pride to hold course and open fire when in range. 
     
    Seron: Yes, Commander...
     
    Xoren: Helm...put us on a parabolic course...increase speed to emergency...
     
    Helm: Yes, Commander...
     
    Seron: Your plan, Commander?
     
    Xoren: As they engage the Pride,we will be swinging around and will fire directly into her amidships with all weapons. Then the two of us will swing around and make another pass. Once her shields are down, we will batter her into submission, then board her and take what we came for..
     
    :: The First Officer pursed his lips. He was uncertain if the plan would work. He had seen the specs for the Defiant Class vessel they had once managed to have delivered into their hands, the USS Avenger. The ship was subsequently stolen back by Starfleet forces, but not before the Orions managed to build their own copy, which was destroyed during the 2389 invasion. He knew what the Defiant Class was capable of, and he was dubious that such a plan would work. Quietly, he spoke to his commander::
     
    Seron: Commander..the initial assault must be flawless. That class of ship is extremely formidable. We will not get a second chance to effect an affirmative attack...
     
    :: Feeling the deckplates slightly heel beneath her as the starship began its turn, Xoren spoke::
     
    Xoren: Noted. Prepare your boarding forces. Do it quickly....
     
    ::Seeing that she was in no mood for contradiction, the Orion male nodded::
     
    Seron: It shall be done....
     
    ::As Seron left the bridge, her Comm Officer spoke::
     
    Comm Officer: Commander...the Ashoka is sending out a distress signal to the Embassy...
     
    ::Xoren snorted::
     
    Xoren: The battle will be long over by the time help comes. Let them beg......
     
    Tactical Officer: Twenty seconds before the Pride is in weapons range...
     
    Xoren. All weapons ready...drop from warp in five seconds...three...two...one...
     
    :: The starfield abruptly shifted to see the bulk of the Defiant Class showing Xoren her broadside. However, her tactical officer called out a warning::
     
    Tactical Officer: Commander! They are firing on the Pride!
     
    :: Inwardly, Xoren  cursed the heavens. When the Pride dropped from warp she should have been firing. Instead, the Ashoka got off the first shots, a white hot flash emanating from the Pride's engineering section:: 
     
    Xoren: FIRE ALL WEAPONS!!!
     
    ::The Glory shuddered as she fired a full spread of photon torpedoes and raked the Ashoka with phaser fire::

  7. So I'm finally getting around to watching the TOS and just had my mind blown watching LtCmdr Ann Muhall (TOS) senior most female character in TOS. I knew that voice! The actress Diana Muldaur then goes on to play Dr. Pulaski on the TNG. So now I'm curious, anyone pick up any other TOS secondary characters going on to play roles in other ST series?

  8. For me it was the death of Tasha Yar. The fact that that moment happened made me feel like watching the rest of the series (TNG, DS9, ENT, VOY) that just because they were a lead character didn't mean they were automatically safe. It was like engraved into my brain and I found myself often wondering if "this was the moment they pulled another Tasha". 

  9. (( Ready Room- United Orion Starship Devastator, orbiting Farius Prime))
     
    :: Quiana sat in her large chair, her long legs crossed, her lips pursed. Much conversation was had that day concerning the upcoming assault on the Duronis sector. The sector was still hers to rule..she had made that perfectly clear, especially after killing the other Alpha female who opposed her. Quiana didn't like the [...] anyway. Killing her in a roomful of allies solidified her position as leader, and blood stained the dagger on her desk::
     
    :: Truly, things had not gone well. Starfleet was no shrinking violet, especially those who manned the Embassy on Duronis. Risking her ships in a pitched battle was not her goal or her plan..she needed those to control her territory and make it impossible for Starfleet to even consider taking the planet away from her once she had it. One non member planet was not enough to risk a fleet to try to retake it::
     
    :: She was one of many in the Syndicate who were planning to assault Starfleet in a manner in which to beat back the Federation from the fringes of the quadrant. The Syndicate was made to rule, to control. Life on Orion proved the strong survive, the weak perish and are subjugated. Quiana was once one of those, but clawed her way to the top, and she intended to stay there::
     
    :: She was not happy when her door chime rang, especially since she asked not to be disturbed. Looking angrily at the door. she shouted::
     
    Quiana: WHAT IS IT? I ASKED NOT TO BE DISTURBED!!!
     
    :: It was her First Officer, Tauron::
     
    Tauron: My apologies, my lady, but we have received a message from one of our operatives on Duronis...
     
    :: Quiana had given strict orders for her operatives to maintain strict silence until she contacted them. This had better be important for them to contact her now::
     
    Quiana: ENTER!
     
    ::The massive Orion entered. He was holding the Orion equivalant of a Starfleet PADD in his hand as he approached.  Stopping before her desk,he bowed slightly::
     
    Tauron: My apologies again..but I think this is something you will want to see...
     
    :: Handing over the PADD, Quiana read over the information. Admiral Wolf was coming to Duronis II. Taking him out would create a power vacuum..and also give her the opportunity to eliminate the troublesome Admiral, and perhaps her entire command staff. She had files on each of them, thanks to her friends in Starfleet, and she had committed the names to memory...Turner.....Waltas...Pavlova...Frazier...Parker. Each with a set of skills which defied logic. Each was battle tested, decorated. This was indeed a rare opportunity to strike a blow for the Syndicate...and for herself. Quiana immediately smelled a trap, a deadly one. She would not underestimate Starfleet again. Looking up from her PADD, she spoke::
     
    Quiana: Has this been confirmed with our Starfleet contact?
     
    Tauron: Not as of yet. Starbase 118 has not confirmed any information concerning Admiral Wolf's movements.
     
    ::A juicy target, seemingly placed in her lap. She didn't like it. Her first thought was to approve the attempt, but something about it smelled funny, like a wet Ferengi. Looking up at Tauron, Quiana spoke::
     
    Quiana: It would seem to be a great opportunity to remove the command structure...
     
    Tauron: It does indeed. It is, however, disappointing...
     
    Quiana: Disappointing? How so?
     
    Tauron: I had hoped to meet Parker in battle..he is their strongest warrior, one which I would love to see defeated...in chains and paraded across their networks. The long haired one..I wish to place his hair on my battle axe..after I cut his head off...
     
    :: Quiana smiled. While it would be pleasing to her to break Starfleets' toughest warrior and see him in chains, the sight of Tauron decorating his axe with the hair of an enemy excited her just as much. However pleasing those thoughts were, her mind turned to the practical.if they could kill them all now, taking Duronis would be so much easier. Of course, such a mission would have to be run by The Council, the upper echelon of the Orion Syndicate. Nodding, she spoke::
     
    Quiana: I will present it to The Council. However, I am not in favor of this plan..
     
    ::Tauron smiled.::
     
    Tauron: You wish to give me the opportunity to defeat them?
     
    Quiana::shaking her head:: No, it's not that simple. This looks like a trap, designed to bring our moles out in the open and eliminate them. So far, they have had great success in defeating our plans. We need our spies where they are, not exposed to such a risky endeavor.
     
    Tauron: Perhaps so, my lady. I may yet have my opportunity to defeat them...
     
    Quiana: Perhaps you will, Tauron. Now, allow me to present this to The Council..
     
    Tauron: Yes, my lady.Will there be anything more?
     
    Quiana: No...that will be all for now.
     
    :: Bowing again, Tauron spoke::
     
    Tauron: By your leave....
     
    Quiana: Dismissed...
     
    ::Once her First Officer had left, Quiana contacted The Council, and requested an audience. Now, all she could do was wait until they contacted her to meet with them. For something this big, she knew she would not have to wait long for an audience.::

  10. ((Transporter Room, Federation Embassy, Duronis II))

    ::Savan heard a chime from behind him. Paul’s face showed a definite sense of relief.::

    Transporter Chief: I’m sorry to interrupt but the Godavari has just signaled. They are asking if Ensign Scudder is ready for transport. 

    Savan: Well, it’s time….

    Scudder: ::forcing a smile:: Yes.

    Moscoe: It was nice getting to know you, Mr. Scudder. Have a safe trip, and stay in touch. 

    ::T'Mihn walked up, looked Paul in the eye -- Vulcans seemed to have a habit of this -- and hugged him. Tightly. Paul looked surprised, his own arms squeezed to his sides.::

    T’Mihn: She's right.  Write,call.  And stay out of trouble, I don't have money for bail. 

    ::Paul turned to Savan.::

    Savan: Well, Paul… 

    ::Savan’s eyes started to become watery. Paul frowned, glanced at T'Mihn and Moscoe behind Savan, sure that Savan was glad they couldn't see this display. Looking back at Savan, Paul smiled slightly, but with a feeling of great warmth for Savan. Paul was accustomed to thinking his eyes expressed his feelings to others, but Savan seemed to be reading him some other way...::

    Scudder: ::forcing a flat expression:: I still disagree with some of the crap you pulled with my patient, Ensign Savan. ::Paul addressed Savan formally -- and Kaumari as "my" patient -- to indicate he was only teasing Savan.:: But I don't know how I would have managed these past weeks without you. ::His tone had softened and become quiet, intimate, meant for the others present not to overhear.::

    ::Paul could see the emotion in Savan. It reminded him of the first time he saw emotion surface in the Vulcan, unexpectedly, in the Thunder's corridors. At the time, Paul had been concerned for the patient the two were trying to contain. And Paul had been concerned for Savan, as Savan's counselor. But now Paul didn't see it clinically, cerebrally -- He would miss Savan. He felt it in his chest. Savan said nothing but offered Paul the Vulcan salute, his hand almost imperceptibly trembling.::

    Savan: May your journey be free of incident, Paul. Live long and prosper…

    ::Savan's face was still neutral, but his eyes looked ready to overflow. Paul wanted to give his friend relief and not extend this any further.::

    Scudder: ::returning the Vulcan salute, though clearly out of practice:: Live long and prosper, Savan. Chief, I'm ready to --

    Savan: Paul…

    ::Savan looked straight into Paul's eyes -- hiding no emotion. Paul felt what he thought was pain in his chest -- it alarmed him, but then -- was it coming from Savan? Before Paul could think through this, Savan unexpectedly pulled him in, very tight -- more forceful than T'Mihn -- almost as forcefully and passionately, Paul thought, as a Klingon. Savan held the strong embrace silently for a few moments before finally speaking.::

    Savan: ::with a whisper, into Paul’s ear:: Please take good care of yourself. I will miss you.

    ::Paul was taken aback. He looked around Savan to T'Mihn and Moscoe. He frowned.::

    Scudder: ::whispering as well:: If I didn't think it might hurt you, I'd kiss you goodbye. ::Paul blushed, realizing it might sound like he was referring to Savan's beard-burn. But he was referring to his feeling that Savan preferred not to be intimate with other officers. Had Savan told Paul this or had he invented it?:: So instead, I ask, the next time we speak, please call me Sudarshan. ::again his accent emerged:: That is an intimacy we can share over any distance.

    ::There was another chime coming from the transporter control.::

    Transporter Chief: ::almost embarrassed, making a coughing noise:: Um.. I’m sorry, Ensigns… but the Godavari needs to leave orbit.

    ::Savan released his embrace and looked at Paul.::

    Savan: ::calmly as possible:: Yes, of course…

    ::Savan did not turn around yet and Paul saw a stray tear run down the Vulcan's face. Paul frowned and nodded to the Transporter Chief.::

  11. The option to reply to the poll wasn't there, hence starting a new topic.

    Rather than take any one side, I would try to act as an intermediary in hopes of working out the safe removal of the sentient cells and developing/implementing a treatment for the resulting cell-less humanoids that would provide them with non-sentient cells. If a safe method, agreed upon by both parties, is not able to be developed than I would only take on a diplomatic role to try and have them come to an understanding/compromise on their own.

    From my point of view, the idea is to try and help both or help none.
