"Watch, Closely Gordon. Those Ships. There worse then then Nijgat. Because our enemies will invade this galaxy Gordon. Only WE! have the combined power to stop them!."
*with that Andros leaves*
"Query. Your statement makes no sense Tom Hobson. Please elaborate.
The enemy I refer to is the Sal'Tek who have made it know that they want to destroy the federation."
"You play the Gods not us. To think I was part of your Federation. You Federation DOGS!, you say you want with with other races, you want understand other races, but when those races come along all you want to do is destroy them because they dont understand your ways or your laws, Typical. You talk like I care, im a droid. Nothing more, nothing less. Before your time in this galaxy is threw your Lone station will see and understand the true meaning of fear and destruction when our enemies come and attack your stations and wipe you from existence, and the council of 3 will be there to prevent such an attack!. We want to talk thats it, and then YOU! come off thinking your better then us. In many cases even we droids are better then you Human Scum!.
Hobson, having regained his composure, became impatient.
"Give me use of a shuttle if you have things to do here, Myself, Admiral Madison and Ambassador Gordon have very important reports to submit".
*Droid ship*
"I agree, You are an Innocent man, Ambassador Gordon. But someone wishes to speak wish you, and we were sent to get you. During the talks, You will remain in this cell until we take you back, You wont be harmed I assure you. Just dont try to escape, it wont be good for you. I know the Federation doesnt wish to have war, But I really dislike your intrusion into trying to harm Lord Andros. Harm him, We will harm you. We dont want a war either, but there are certian people, Malcom Reed, in particular who will most likely do anything to ensure a war is the outcome. He will also ensure certian ppl that they loose there positions of power, and I cannot let that happen. But Thats not why your here.
*then a droid voice comes in over the comm stating that they are landing on the planet surface*
*HK47 Hooks into the Ship and Calls The Knights base to let them know we have Gordon*
"You are wrong I see you've convinced yourself that we need you. I don't care if we do or not. But can you protect us from yourself? Your wasting your time trying to prove anything to me or anyone else. Leave us in peace if you will not answer to anyone. But don't step over our laws and regulations. Do not violate our rights. your making yourself a rather hated people. Your meddlers. You throw yourself in our business and put us in a position to need you. Well we don't need you and you won't need to help us. If you do, expect nothing. We will not be backed into a corner to depend on your people."
"Admiral Ransom broke diplomatic regulation by establishing trade and alliance with a species that is unknown to Command. He did not act with an Ambassador or JAG officer. He does not have the ability to trade items or personnel. Along with testimonys of the crew and this event, my final conclusion is that Ransom be tried by penalty no more or less than demotion to Admiral for the diplomatic breaches, and aiding a species into our space unauthorized who capture myself and commit dangeourus acts and threats in Federation territory or officers. That is a general shpill. But it will be much longer. It will go to Ft. Admiral Diego Montrell's desk. JAG CO"
Madison spoke calmly.
"You've brought us here. Kidnappings a new trick i assume. But i wouldn't expect to come out of this on top, if i were you."
"You are causing more problems, then you are solving. You think we do not know what we are doing? Try us".
Query: What information have I stolen from you?
Mr. Gordon had implanted information from the sal'tek that lead him to believe my wrong things. I have restored his memory to its correct pattern. I can show you the brainwave anylsis if you do not believe me.
I have 1 question for the two of you. What would you have done finding out the information I did and then knowing of your prejudice towards any species not of your own?"
168 re-enters Grodon's room.
"Hello Ambassador. No your not being held here. I am just making sure you are alright. Also there is no air outside of this room so be careful where you step. Here is Mr. Madison. He has been affected as well. Talk to him. I will help him later."
168 leaves the room after dropping the forcefield on gordons cell.
He picks up the broken commbadge and pockets it.
"Anyway, I am ready to return to Frontier Station. I am sure you have your own buisness, I need to work on the final bits of the Ambassadors report, and give him my own. That and we're loaded at the station. You picked a horrible time to play around".
Hobson tilts his head back.
"What now?...Hold on...What the heck are you talking about?"
He had a small smile and shook his head.
"I think you have confused yourself. For one thing, the 'federation dogs' do not want to have sort of relation with you, we do not want to attack you, we do not want to study you, we want to be rid of your bothersome ways, period. Destroy you say? Wrong. You are holding three officers of the federation itself, where I come from, we call that wrong. It is obvious you don't care. You imply that you do, but you don't, so I don't think you know. You are contradicting what your trying to do. You want our race to survive, but your telling me you will have no problem attacking and killing us if we 'apparently' attack you, which has not planned. Any questions?".
*shoving Hobson back into the cell to get him out of harms way, Andros begins to block the Unpure Droids, assault. Then goes on the offensive, Swinging his own sword around and striking at the robots unprotected legs*
After coming aboard the captured Sal'Tek battlecruiser, MK23 was rummaging around in the wired engineering bays trying to figure out how to get more of the critical systems running that was knocked offline during the battle.
"Half the ship or more is offline. This isn't good for humans aboard. But for us, it could save energy needed for other systems."
"Lets see. The Pulse Tractor Beam needs to definatly come online since we'll need that running soon."
OCC: Hows that HK?
"holding an innocent man hostage is an act of war in any part of this galaxy. I am an Ambassador not a soldier. No one in the Federation wants war. you are raving"
*Throws a hographic device through the when the shield around the brig goes down fo a few seconds before re activing.*
"You don't belive me, then you can watch the battle your self. If you want to talk again when you are calm, then call me. I will come. Until then goodbye."
S Vek exits the brig room as the holographic device activates and shows a similar vessel to the X 303 and other ships moving toward the combine fleet in space. Serveral droid ships are nearing the capital ships.
Madison follows suite. Walking to Hobson
"This is as i thought. We did not submit. so they come from behind their lie at last. we need to find the ambassador and get back to Frontier. Where we belong."
"Do you undersand how follish you sound suggesting that a race would brainwash you and leave you knowledge of it.
Perhaps as futher proof you would like to see you friend Gordon?"
"How nice of him".
He talks loudly, to speak to Madisons near cell.
"You think we were on the right track? I do. He has no idea what he is doing, they want to cover this whole thing up James. They realize what they've done to themselves, and they're going to give it a shot at trying to change time. The fools. When this wears off....I feel like trying something stupid".
"I am sorry ambassidor, I can not in good consious allow you to leave yet."
With that ep-168 leaves the room.
"No, Thank you for your assistance."
Two legs fall to the ground and as 168 is falling to the ground he lunges out out Andros's leg cutting through a gap in his armor.
OOC**It looks good, :P.
IC**Try and get the Pulse tractor beam operational, Send JK and his Team back, we need to attempt to get the ship operational but I think we will be needing to drop the power reserves to bare minimum.
**Armory**
"Gravitic pistol, Any chance we can use these weaponry and armorments to enhance our droid army ?"
Well I think we should make our presense known to Mr Gordon.
*Then HK47 and MK23 leaves the armory and closes it up, heading for the brig*
**Brig**
*walking in Gordon sees 2 metalic Humanoid Droids*
War, This isnt an Act of War, You suffering oh so slowly is an act of war. Certian Aspects of your federation wants war. We are just the peace keepers of that war. We will try to stop such a war. Is there anything you need Save your return to Frontier that you may wish to have ?.
"I don't want to watch your petty scrawbles. I want to return to Frontier or SS Avalon. Your done in our space. You've commited a crime. You will not be able to prove yourselves able to hold an alliance. Or a fair one. You will hold over our heads the ability to protect us. I doubt you have these enemies. And i know that we are not at the risk you make it out to be. Leave me to my job. It is none of your concern what go's on. Your wasting my time."
ep-168 hears the explosions and looks at Gordon.
"I will return soon and then we will get you home."
168 interfaces with the ships computer and programs the door to Gordons room to only open for droids then walks out of the room and into the other room.
The two starfleet Admirals see the tall black droid enter the room with weapons bearing on each of them.
"You will not resist or there will be consiquences. Return to your cells. I repeat, return to your holding cells. I do not wish to harm you but I will if you force the issue."
"Our Federation will not be destroyed. Your enemies have no essence. I doubt they exsist, unless you invent them too. But you might as well accept that we're not brainwashed. Do you realize how arrogant it sounds to suggest we've been brainwashed if we don't aggree to you."
He looks at Hobson
"We havn't been programmed. Whats the deal here. I'm sick and tired of these people telling me how it is."
"Admiral, what is going on, why am i in a cell, and why am i not allowed to leave? I don't take orders from these Droids."
"It will be a moment until we are there. May I get you anything?"
He stands again, and exits the area, heading for Madison and Gordon.
OOC: I realize it was said there is no oxygen outside the brig, but I want this finished.
30 minutes after Commander Kerry and his team was transported back to the Unity, the X 303 activated the hyperdrive engines and left the Dantor system and heading for Frontier.
"Captain HK47, I have got the Pulse Tractor Beam online now. It should work at an hundred percent. I am also re routing life support power to a brig I just found."
10 Minutes later
The X 303 drops exits the vortex caused by the hyperdrive and turn the sealth drive on to avoid detection by the station.
S Vek walks over to HK47 which is out of the hearing range of Gorden.
"First I wish to say that the accident that happen earlier this year is forgivable. I will not hold that aganist you."
"The second I need to ask is how much of your ship systems have you gotten online so far?"
"I'm afraid i don't scare easy. If you want me to cower in fear, or drop to my knees and worship you for supposedy saving us, as you wish the Federation to do, you've taken the wrong man. I will not come, how do you say? Ah yes, Quietly."
"We will be doing a Quick In and out Grab. Have the transporters redy to lock onto Hobson and Madison immediatly after we exit warp and cloak"
"Are you, really? Then why don't you return us, hmm? You know that we want no buisness with you, don't you? I don't care what you need, what you want, or what you think we need, or we want. Sit back, as a 'peacefull person' as this Andros would promise, and tell me if you honestly think the process of stealing files, the process of kidnapping, after being told the alliance was rough, and would not continue right away. Tell me this is the right thing to do for you? It was a joke from the beginning. It is a joke as we stand here".
Madison look at Hobson
"does he know what hypocrite means? Anyway, i think you would do better to begin salvaging what little of your credibility you have left."
"Our doctors can do this. This is no request. I do not know why i am here, nor do i care. I simply want to return to my normal duties."
*Andros makes his way into the brig and finds Hobson, Andros is standing there in head to toe armor, with his helmet covering his face*
"Im here to rescue you from these Unpure Droids. If you want out of here, this is your safest chance."
OOC: No oxygen means your suffocating right now. Plus how do you know where Madison and gordon are?
"We arent as bad as people make us out to be Gordon" as the young knight said.
*then in an aura of white light, the 3 officers are transported back to frontier station*
"Scan for Frank Gordon, then transport him to the Brig. We will come back for the others later."
*HK47 still in the computer core finally unlocks the armory doors, and heads down there*
**ARMORY**
*HK47 looked around at all the nice Armorments, and Weaponry accumulated bye the Sal'Tek Breeders*
*HK47 to MK23*
Get down here, I have just unlocked the armory and some of these weapons are unfamiliar to me.
My Knights, On More then occassions then I could think of have protected your space from enemies that would crush your federation in a mere day.
Choose your words carefully. Bye Telling me there will NEVER! be a peace or alliance is telling us you want to due us harm. You were brought here to ensure you to NEVER! harm the Federation Personel. Meaning if you continue with your investigation into Ransoms Loyalties, Your life may be forfeited. I would hate to make that call. But you ARE!, Harming your own people bye not allying yourselves with us. If you ally yourself with us and our alliance then we will beable to protect you and your federation from our enemies that will come and clense this galaxy of all life. You think you should be scared of us. We are angels compared to them!.
"That would be very Kind of you Svek."
*in the small meeting*
"I think The droid army will capture the cruisers and flush them out. However I dont think they will beable to get close enough with the combined forces of the Knights and the Katorlian Republic forces."
*then Without a word 150 Droids, 50 droids per Capital Ship, Launches from the X 303 and homes in on there targets to capture of the Capital Ships*
"Transporter ready and online. Cloaking device will activate as we exit hyperspace."
168 looks for just one second like he is going to laugh then steps the few remaining inches right up to Madison and looks down at him.
"No one tells me what to do. You have been brainwashed just like Gordon. I am here to correct that annomially so that YOUR enemys do not destroy your precious federation. Unless, that is what you want.
But as proof I give both of you this. Would you still be talking to me if all I wanted to do is silence you?"
168 steps back and awaits the two humans.
"I do not care what you want human. Mathmatically the federation poses less of a threat to me then does the enemies that are trying to destory you that you do not even know about.
Are either one of you parents?
Also please sit. There are chairs behind you. Let us come to a.. How do humans put it... Understanding.
Once that happens you will be allowed to leave. If you are uncooperative it is you whom are the hypocrites. "
Hobson sits unamused in the small cell, laughing silently.
"You are outside of your head. How about you just back off? Mind your own selves, and leave the federation out of it. You can trump up whatever valiant excuse you would like, but if you think you are interacting with people as naive as yourself, you are mistaken. We can sit here and toss stones at one another all day, but the line MUST be drawn. You are no gods, and you are without the right to do what a race does not want done".
OOC: By the same means that transporters made it through shields, with a cloak, followed by interrogation with 'truth serum' and a 'brain erase/altercation'.
"I am sure".
He goes to tap his commbadge, but remembers it is not there.
He motions to Gordon to do so, and they transport to Frontier Station.
*MK23 to HK47*
"On my way. Just finishing the transportation of our guest to the brig."
After transporting Gorden to the Brig, MK23 activates the hyperdrive and leaves the system heading to Argo Station. MK23 leaves engineering and heads to the Armory.
Sometime later
Entering the Armory, MK walks to Hk47 and annouce his arrival.
"Sir, our guest is in the brig sir."
"Ambassador, you don't know me too well or my species which I won't Idenified to you but I have treatys with certain federation outpost in your space. What Admiral Ransom did was to help your federation survive."
"There is a threat to your species which you don't even know about. Dantor Base was attacked by them less then 24 hours ago and one of my ships was damage trying to protect them after the battle had commenced!"
"You happend to be on board one of the captured capital ships that did attack Dantor Base."
Gordon laughed.
"You know i'm right of course, as you claim to know if i lie or not. you will find i am speaking the truth. Your barging in was requested not by those with authority to invite you, but by Admiral Ransom. Which is why i was asked to come. And i will still submit my report to Fleet Admiral Montrell. Your not wanted here. Your not welcome here. I am a man of mild manner and desire of peace. But this has gone beyond that desire. You've proven to me you will do anything to anyone to get what you want. And its appearing more and more you want the Federation to be your lapdog."
168's eyes go red.
"Threats will not be tolerated. After all we are just trying to help you."
Hobson arrived in the small cell, very quickly setting his side phaser to overload. He went to the corner and and covered, pushing the weapon to the forcefield.
It exploded loudly, and caused quite a shaking to Hobson. He took a time to even stand, but quickly waved through smoke to exit the downed forcefield.
He looks around the brig quickly.
"James! The Ambassador..he is not here to..? Set your weapon to overload and take cover....we must hurry....we must end this".
"Hypocrite: a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold.
In your case it is the Federations belief in understanding of all life forms. The two of you are not understanding. Both closed minded. If you are high command, perhaps we should leave your Federation to its own death.
What will help the two of you believe that you have been brainwashed. I wish to reason with you and help you understand that I am only here to help fix the problems others have caused. I am your....Friend."
OOC: Ok I will give you the transporters, cloak but the other two can happen today chief say nothing about I can quote you about FIFTY sources in star trek vill from Kirk to Janeway where both of those 2 WORK.
Come one be reasonable.
*walks into the room*
"Oh, be quiet, dont attempt to escape!. You have no way out, because if you exit this brig area you will die of suffication for the lack of air. There is no air on this ship save for the brig!. You think the Nijgat was a myth until they attacked. There are more enemies in this galaxy that wants to destroy all life in this sector. The Council of 3 are guarding your precious Federation from utmost destruction!. You may brand us as criminals but if you send anyone against us we will destroy you out of self defense, then find a nice planet to turn into a prison planet, then we will guard you from the confines of that planet to ensure your peoples continued existence!."
*the X-303 shudders under the constant force attacks, forcing the X-303 to drop out of hyperspace*
*in mere seconds 20 Knights along with andros shows up on the ship, and starts to use there weapons on EMP setting to take out the droids who try to stop them*
"Good, Take us out of here, Hide us"
Very Good MK23, Now what do you make of these weapons and armorments in the armory here ?
"Then you hear wrong. I am investigating Admiral Ransom. I could give a flying flip about your bloody race. I don't know how you've come to the conclusion i have anything to do with you. Captureing Ambassadors is no way to get an alliance. Which i can promise you will never happen when High Command discovers of what you've been doing the moment you spoke to Ransom."
I can offer you something that can bring your ship to full power. If you want all your systems online that is?"
Turns to Gorden after his last comment. In a higher and more dangerous voice, S Vek spoke.
"Gorden, you very much don't want to make an enemy of this Alliance. (S Vek starts to glow a little light around him like an angel.) I am the last person you want to cross in betrayal. If you continue like this, I will be forced to do something I don't really want to."
(S Vek sensed something before, the alarms goes off.)
Over the comm.
"Sal'Tek vessels entering system. Auto Defense Systems online. Reading, 3 capital ships, and 4 support ships, with 587 fighters."
S Vek, Andros, and HK47 steps away from the brig and come into a group so that a certain person can't hear them.
"another invasion but not like there normal moves. This must be a recon job of sorts." S Vek said in a calmer voice.
MK23 and S Vek worked to get at least 2 of the energy cells installed onto the bridge to get power restored to the hyperdrive system.
It took them only 20 minutes to get it online and working, and part of the ship including all the controls on the bridge came fully online.
"Engaging the Hyperdrive engines now."
The X 303 enters hyperspace heading for Brog Space to fool Frontier Stations Sensors.
"Your not trying to do anything but cover your own behinds."
Madison looked at the droid, walking closer to it.
"Who is putting that excuse in you? Who is deciding for us that we are being helped? Allow me to inform you, you've captured 3 Starfleet officers, 2 being members of High Command. Their is nothing more you can do.."
"I didn't think you did. I wonder why we do not know about these enemies? Would it be that they simply do not exist?".
He sits.
"Is Oximoron the word I am searching for? I think Admiral Madison can recognize the same by now. I think the enemy, is you. We must accept protection from the enemy, why? Because they will destroy our 'precious federation'. What will happen if we do not accept your help? I would bet, violence. You are a bully, who is punching, and saying at the same time 'I will protect you from bullies'. No, we will not accept your help. Go Away".
"Ambassador, your ph levels are we off. You are still adjusting to the repair work I have done. In a day or so we will return you to the station."
"o..k, I don't have a weapon, but if it floats your boat".
He turns as the droid leaves.
"Strange".
Gordon, with Madison finds Hobson
"Admiral, i think we are near SS Avalon. Is their a ship near?"
MK23 recovers on the bridge to find the small bridge crew except S Vek disable by the EM pulse.
"S Vek, what happended."
"We where attacked. Damage to the starboard section."
"Bad?"
"Not that bad. It will hold."
"We need to get this ship to full power before too long."
"It is already done. Preparing to activate the energy cells all at once. I need to take the ones on the bridge offline for a moment."
"Do it."
Areas of the ship recently power goes dark for a few seconds before power is restored but not only to those areas but the entire ship.
"Ships at full power now." S Vek answered.
"Hum. Very advance. Indeed."
"Point Pulse Pistol, that one is. The other is something of a theory going around starfleet. It called a Gravitic Pistol. Very deadly."
*Mk23 Walks to the Torpedo tubes.*
"These are plasma or plasmic torpedoes, maybe some tremor torpedoes too here."
(No i didn't miss it)
(Anyone whos listening.)
"Get us power NOW!, I will tend to our guests, I doubt they will fire on a ship who has there own people on it"
In Madisons voice 168 repeats.
Your claims however, have never been proven. And even if so, your crimes here and since you've been in contact with Frontier call for a very high price. I hope your willing to pay, good droid."
"I do not believe anything can prove to you that what I say is true, however, I give you one final chance to give me a way to prove what I say is true.
What high price could you be referring to. I have scanned the two of you. You are defensless. What can you do?"
He smiled.
"Nobody, nobody at all. So, letting us go yet? Lets go back to Frontier Station. How about going back? You know your wasting your own precious time. We have said our words, it is done".
168 re-enters the room and goes to Madisons cell, stuns him and then starts taking him out of the room.
OOC**It will be finished, and my knights would have stopped you from leaving, I will get to Madison and gordo Dont worry.
IC**........*a young knight takes Hobson and transports him to a secured 4 podded fighter to await the others, The young knight mentions to hobson to just sit tight and dont try anything*
*Hobson could see the X 303 took More damage to there starboard side*
**in the brig**
*Andros Groaned in pain as he felt the pain from the droids attack getting a lucky shot threw the chink in Andros's Armor, Andros reeled back and Fell Hard on the Droids back, with his sword out, As Andros, landed the sword hit EP-168 threw its back disabling him*
*getting up, he motions for his men to proceed towards gordo and Madison, disabling the droids as they came, and deactivated the shields around the 2s Cell Doors, Picking up Madison and Gordo, Transported to the same 4 man podd, Then Andros transported himself to a 2 man podded fighter near them*
*then in a bright light, the Knight fighters warped out of the sector heading for frontier*
Gordon bangs the brig doors.
"I demand an explanation! This is an act of war!"
OOC**I think you missed it, Its called a Truth Serum, You can only Tell the truth about any and all questions asked to you. You cant say NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! cuz your not coherent enough to know what is and isnt there, you can only tell the truth, and thats not the truth :P
OCC: I'm on the bridge. It must be you ep-168)
"Represseration complete. Tranporter activated. Transport completed. They are now in different holding cells."
"HK47, where losing power to the cloak. Where now visible. activating shields."
The shields come online around the ship.
"Who said we would do anything? You have us here against our will. You have committed a crime. you are not above the law my friend. Nor are your leaders. Either you accept the charges and answer to them, or you become galactic criminals, forever on the run. Because your name is ruined. It will be recorded, these events. I expect a lenghthy trial after Mr. Gordon is done."
"Ambassador Gordon's mind was not affected, at least until you touched him. Neither is ours. Get that right my friend. If your doing all of this on that belief. You better start finding ways out."
Madison voice was sharp with anger.
The time passes, and hobson sits in the corner.
"I wonder if they have food here James?"
He spoke very loudly, and took his comm badge off of his uniform.
He peeled it apart carefully, and took a piece and held it against the brig metal walls. He tapped the piece remaining connected to the badge and spoke into it in a low voice.
=A= Hobson to Frontier. I have a makeshift communications setup. Here is ths situation: These are droids, I am very sure they are connected with the Chronasians. They profess to be our friends, and with the intentions of saving the galaxy, the typical. They have done something with Gordon, something with his mind so I gather. We talked with one of them, when it was clear we would not accept the littered help, we were hit with a weapon, with the things implication that we might not be returned at all. I will not be able to contact you again, I have a general idea that we are going to be harmed. They must not be allowed to return to Frontier Station. Fire at thier ship if it is seen, destroy it. We will find a way, or go with it =A=
He pulled the badge piece from the side, and tossed it across the brig.
Gordon looks at Madison and Hobson as the pods stop at Frontier.
"I need to get in contact with SS Avalon. Theirs alot to add to my report."
*HK47 got tired of Gordons Attitude and decided to switch his targeting system to rapid fire and shoots several plasma shots threw the brigs shields, almost hitting Gordons entire left side*
*turning his attention to Svek*
"We have a Few systems online. Sensors, Propulsions, the cloaked system is impressive, Weapons, Shields." Why ?
"Your dense for a machine. I've told you already, its no classified bit of information. I was requested by Ft. Admiral Hobson to investigate Admiral Ransoms actions. This event is the end point. I need no further evidence to prove Ransom was acting wrong to form an unauthorized alliance."
168 walks back into the room holding a circular device.
"Miss me human?
Now we proceed with changing your mind."
The droid attaches nuro simuators to key points on gordons head.
"Do you know what a nuro modulator is?"
He looks around quickly and hesitates for a split second.
Then smiles
"I'm sorry my friend. I'm not sure how i am here. But i need to get to my station and get to my work. Frontier was it?"
"I think it is what we want, yes, I do. How about your people stop acting like hypocrites then? Wouldn't be possible, would it? You don't want to be told what to do, but you want to tell us what to do?....I see how it is getting...do you think we want your help now?...answer it...truthfully".
"I guess your scans aren't good enough. Why don't you let us go, all of us? I suggest it, because do you know what happens when you do that? Nothing. We do not want you, we do not want to kill you, we do not want to have ANYTHING to do with you after this ends. Get that into your head, and get it in quickly. You have been put up to this because of an agenda, and if it is not an agenda, it sure isn't friendly. If you know the full story, then you understand. You say we will die? Then let us die. Lets find out, in time, what comes of this. I can see where this is going, I've said it before, I'll say it ten thousand more times".
Query: Hobson who are the Chronasians?
168 stops and turns towards hobson.
"I ment all of it admiral. Now your college will be repaired."
168 enters the room and charges at the Armored man.
"You will not take them, they must be repaired."
Sharp swords are extended from 168's apendages as he begins battling with the man.
"Your taking everything as you want to hear it. Allow me to fix your mistake, no one has ever said thay wish to do you harm. However you've done us harm enough for conviction. Do not try to cover this by saying you have saved us. It is complete bull. Ransom has been put under investigation under our own laws. You have no right to become involved. Starfleet will not be forced to allie with you. You are in the wrong my dear friend. Wheather you wish to see it or not. Your reasons for taking me are false to the very core. And your assumptions are farfetched at the very least."
A painful voltage charge surges through Gordon's body then more truth serium is injected to him.
"Now Mr Gordon. Perhaps we should start with a simpler question. What is your purpose on Frontier station."
"Something that won't work on me. Got it? If your seeking to silence me from speaking the truth about what i discovered of Ransom and this, you will fail."
I am only a medical droid, why are you acting so hostile?
"Brainwashed? What a cliche of a lie to feed you. Someone commanding you is not telling you the truth. Wrongdoings cannot be erased. To many people know. And after Gordon was taken, we took....extra steps. You will not be able to cover your desparate mistakes."
"O what charges. I am curious.
Also, I think Gordon has a different tune now since he has been repaired. "
"Yes of course, this won't go unknown though. If they think they can pick officers off at will and expect us to by holly jolly about it they're barking up the wrong tree. I assume their leaders accepted what they would do. And what will happen."
"Brainwash time is it?" He speaks to the droid as it pulls Madison away. "You didn't mean a bit of what you told us, did you?".
He stood, and stepped out.
"Take us to Frontier Station, quickly".
"I don't have one"
"I don't think so. Before we have more fun Mr. Gordon I am going to inject you with my own special blend and leave you for a few hours. Have fun."
After the injection the droid walks out of the room just as Gordon is alone still bound on the floor images of the deaths of all his loved ones flash in his head.
"Feeling like punching your ruddy circuits you ignorant fool."
"Let him go, then. Return us to Frontier Station. This is finished".
Madison spoke in a monotone voice
"............I'm not suggesting that. You said we have been brainwashed. I presume you think we have been brainwashed to believe what we say. In fact we know what we say is true. It is all proven fact. Your claims however, have never been proven. And even if so, your crimes here and since you've been in contact with Frontier call for a very high price. I hope your willing to pay, good droid."
"Agreed. Meaningless conversation if finished. "
168 shoots both Hobson and Madison and they fall to the floor unable to move. ep-168 stands over them.
"You wish to go back to Frontier. You have more important things to do then let me help you. You don't care that you have been programmed with a prejudice towards any other race. Fine, let it be. However know this. I decide when you go to Frontier and how you go. If you ever do. Now let us return you to your cells shall we."
168 picks up the two starfleet officers and starts humming 16 tons. After putting the officers back in the holding cells ep-168 stands in front of the cells.
"Now just so you don't try something stupid I have activate the internal defense network in this room. Should the forcefields drop lets just say it would be... Unpleasent. You all have a nice day now and the effects of my weapon should wear off in about 35 minutes. Bye."
ep-168 walks out of the room.
"Good bye Admiral. Let me know if you need anything."
168 leaves the room with madison on his shoulder.
A Higher painful jolt goes through Gordons body.
"Now moving on. What is your secuity level?"
"You don't, i do. Torture is not going to change anything. I hope you people realize you have not delayed my investigation you've ended it. I have what i need. you've put Ransom in a hole. Your intent to keep him clear is obvious to me. I think their is something behind this Admiral Hobson did not realize. Tell me, is Ransom the only to allow you to run over his station?"
*the Cruiser Exited Hyperspace just in range enough to be in transporter range then cloaks*
"Lock onto Madison and Hobson for transport, and repressurize the rest of the brig, and transport them into there own lil Cells"
He nodded to Madisons statement.
"Elaborate? Let us just say, you do not realize everything. But I must say, alot of work for we who have angered you, and made it as clear as possible we do not want your 'help'. Why try so very hard? I have an opinion, and I think it is a valid one. I will keep it to myself, because of its level".
Query: Hobson is your logic center malfunctioning? You appear to be talking in circles?
"Its getting short now. Do not get angry with us, if you do not tolerate us, then you will let us go. I don't think your seeing full scope, one dimensional machine. Do you even know what you want? Why you are here talking to us? No need to answer. We have been brainwashed...or are we GOING to be brainwashed...I think the latter. You want to help us? Then return us to Frontier".
"Give me a break. You and I both know, that there is nothing wrong with any of us".
The door to the brig opens and a tall black droid walks in.
"ep-168 reporting. Proceeding with interigation of the prisinor. "
The droid walks right through the forcefield and looks down at Gordon.
"You will cooperation with this unit or there will be consiquences. "
Compartments open in the side of the droid and bind gordons arms and legs. As Gordon falls to the floor with a thud a needle appendage comes out of the droid and sticks into Gordons forhead injecting him with a special kind of truth agent. .
"Now Mr. Gordon, tell me, what is your security level and command code."
*on the Holographic Imager*
*the battle continues to ensue, and the 150 droids capture all 3 capital ships and begins to power the ships weapons and shields up, then all 8 Sal Tek Capital Ships Open Fire, as the Fire knights Fighters, and the Katorlian Cruisers engage the Sal Tek Ships*
*** Bridge ***
S Vek heads to the tactical station and looks over it.
"Hum, ok. I can cloak and use the weapons system now."
ooc: Mind manipulation works even on you gordon so you bought it. Ok? Come quietly and I won't labotimis you!!
"Your very simple. I like that".
"Not capture people. Thats for sure. Your only way out is to release us quickly. Your not invincable. Your not immune. We did not aggree to be here. I want to continue with what i was doing at Frontier Station, It is more important than listening to your half witted speculations and assumptions based on commanders who don't know what they're talking about. This is over"
He looks around.
"Am i being held here? Why have i not been returned? I want answers"
168 comes back into Gordons room.
"Well it looks like your levels have gone back to normal and you are ready to go home. However, after your abduction Frontier station will not let this ship anywhere near it. Due to the fact that it is idential to the one that took you. So may we drop you off at Avalon station?"
"That would be none of your business"
"Mr Gordon. What will be in your report about Admiral Ransom?"
ooc: who you talking to?
Really. Works on ALL humans.
Now we begin.
Over then next hour 168 adjusts Gordons memory to show that a Powerful race kidnapped and tortured Gordon for information on if he found the Memory alteration they did on Hobson .
After that he is rescued by the droids and wakes up with a tall black droid standing over him
I am ep-l68 how are you felling?
"Kidnapping, stealing information, which was an earlier thing, You say you repaired Gordon? I think we will find the truth. I imagine you tortured him. The Ambassador was a stern man. Repair is your term. It sounds like your beloved brainwashing to me. It fits so well. do this to the man who will report you."
"I have 1 question for the two of you. What would you have done had you been in my place finding out the information I did and then knowing of your prejudice towards any species not of your own?"
Mocking Madisons Anger.
"Answer me. And I have a way out. I am simply curious on how your high command thinks. Child RACE."
He shouts.
"Need something, well, I need you to become smart in the next...five minutes, if I were greedy".
"Even better, that is where i am based"
He stands
*Andros Beams onto the ships brig accompanied bye S'Vek*
"Hello, Gordon, I hear you have been put in charge to investigate us. To find out who we are?, Well you are here now, and so am I, So lets talk. Dont lie, I can detect if your lieing or not. We need to talk to turn lies that you may have heard into truths."
**Bridge**
*HK47 Walks up to helm and orders the droid to set course for frontier, And Initiate the Hyper Drive, Once we drop out of the Vortex Activate the cloak*
"The only one in this room who will face consiquences will be yourself".
A change had some over Hobson, it was very obvious.
"The games are finished. I will deal with no middlemen, you send message to your commander, his mistake is marked. He has twelve hours to correct it, or we all die".
Hobson shook his head.
"Correction, James, he was never brought in to investigate the Chronasians. We were finished with them, so I thought untill this little sharade".
"I'm quite alright. I have an important job i think. I need to return to it. I'm sure you can do what you need to Madison without me."
"Your weapons are ineffective. But we will return you. Sense you lack the Understanding that your Federation dictates!"
*then leaves the room to change course to avalon station*
