USS Fearless Bridge "Captain, we're approaching the Veroto's location, but something looks off on sensors." The Operations Officer reported. "What do you mean, Commander?" Captain Dylan Blake replied. "Veroto appears to have lost main power, she's got a significant list. Her orbit is stable, though." "Get the Generals up here." Dylan said. Moments later, Praxis and Danny Hardfighter stepped onto the bridge, with Colonel Pierce tagging along behind them. "Status?" Praxis asked. "Not sure, sir, but it doesn't look good. Veroto appears to have been damaged somehow." Dylan reported. "Sir, there is a strong VLF transmission coming from the planet, sounds like one of ours." the Comms officer reported. "Put it on," Praxis ordered. Static crackled over the comm, but it came through: "Admiral Phaserman, this is Kitten 105, Do you copy?" "Can we reply?" Danny asked, exchanging glances with his brother and Ben. "I can try, sir." The Comms Officer said. "Okay. Kitten 105, this is Chaos Actual, Sitrep." "Chaos Actual, 105. We have an away team missing on the planet, standard comms are being jammed.." There was a momentary burst of static..."oto comes through broken and unreadable." "Stand by, Major, help is coming." The Fearless and Chancellorsville slowed to Impulse power and came alongside the Veroto. "Captain Blake, give me an engineering team to go aboard the Veroto. Danny, Ben, get a team together and prepare for landing." Praxis said. "Aye Sir." Danny said. "Phantom 6 to all Phantoms, Meet me in the main bay." Ben ordered. TAG Cavalry's here. |

Abigail Locktight Abby had reached the next tree she was using in her trail and squeezed a small amount of blood out of her finger, she was hoping that Kira knew the scent of her blood, maybe Jenna or Joseph did as well also that Hardfighter hadn't given her mother, sister in-law's and brother's secret away. Under her breath as she puts the drops on the tree then heals her cut "come and find me you three" Abby then moves on to the next spot not wanting to stay put for very long but she'll have to soon, to rest, to find food or when she reaches a safe place in the corner of her left eye she saw a water column "~ok that can't be good, unless the Veroto did it~" tag |

USS Veroto Engineering The Veroto's main engineering materialized around Praxis and the engineering crews from both the Fearless and the Chancellorsville. Immediately, the Computer began howling. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert." Praxis shook his head. "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. Someone shut that damned computer up." He said, looking for Lela. Colonel Ben Pierce The Marines from 1 and 2 SMU boarded seperate runabouts for the trip to the planet, under escort from a squadron of fighters from the Fearless. Danny was working the comms, talking to the Operators and the pilots of the five fighter squadrons the two ships had launched. "Thunder Chickens, Banshees, locate the source of the jamming signal and take it down. Eagle and Black Knight Squadrons will assist the Satan's Kittens in a fighter sweep, 1 and 2 SMU will set down at the last known location of the away team and begin a ground search." Danny ordered.

Joseph sat in the tree with her, crouched and nails dug in to the wood as he thought. He closed his eyes for a moment to let his thoughts take over and kick the flee instinct out of his mind. Thinking for a moment he finally whispered just loud enough for her to hear only "You stay up here. I will drop down and go scout out where the blood is coming from.." He looked at what little he could see of her due to their personal cloaks, squeezing her hand tightly. Jenna frowned, “The hell I'm letting you go alone.” she growled lowly and followed him down. She crept quietly through the foliage taking care not to disturb anything or make to much noise. She could sense him, she didn't have to see him. She could smell him, feel him move near her. So in tune with him that she didn't need to see him to know where he was. Joseph's hair stood up a bit on end as he walked with her slowly once out of the tree. Softly he whispered as they stalked "One of these days we are going to have a little chat about following orders my dear wife.." before sniffing softly and getting the trace on the scent. He moved ahead of her, keeping his eyes wide open for another of those creatures. “Oh I'm sorry, was that an order? Who wears the pants in this marriage Joseph?” she hissed quietly. She caught site of some blood and moved closer to it taking some of her finger she smelled it. “It's fresh, it's familiar.” she said softly Joseph growled softly as he listened to her response. He was about to give a retort when she found the blood. crouching next to her, he dipped his finger in it and tasted it. He made a bit of a face before he whispered "Its Abby's...Why did she cut her self?" before starting to move the way the smell was coming from. Softly he whispered "I don't like how this is heading.... I want you to get high. YOu would have a better vantage point for me." Jenna swore, “She's probably trying to bring us all together, mom would smell it but the other two people wouldn't. Becareful” she whispered before gripping the tree and climbing high. She could see him but not much else. She knew he wanted her up here because she had much experince moving through trees quietly, she was after all a very old vampire. She was focused on him and his surroundings watching for anyone coming their way she almost missed it. “Abby” she exclaimed, “your 3 o'clock” she said as quietly as she could before leaping to the next tree. She used her momentum to swing from tree to tree, she got closer swung around a branch and landed on top of it taking her phaser out she shot the being and watched it vaporize before dropping down and disengaging her cloak. Joseph had gotten a stronger smell of it and smiled when he heard Jenna tell him Abby's position. He growled softly and started moving in that direction before stopping. Another scent caught him by surprise until she had vaporized it. He growled softly, annoyed at how weirdly that they smelled to him. He moved quickly and silently towards Abby. Seeing Jenna disengage her cloak, Joseph did the same, standing up from his crouched position. He had his own personal phaser out and ready to aim at anything, though in Abby's general position. He still wasn't too sure if she had been taken over or not. TAG ABBY JP by Jenna Kilmore and Joseph Frost |

Lela turned and looked at her brother-in-law her jaw dropping. “Turn that off” she said, she walked up to Praxis, “What the hell are you doing here?” she demanded her hand falling to her stomach. “For the love of god do not tell me Daniel is with you or I swear to... you know Jazmyn isn't going to be happy about you popping in here like this...” "That's an odd way to talk to a General..." Praxis said, his voice sounding more amused than upset. "Funny story, though. We were bringing Danny here, I figured I'd tag along because...fuck it, I'm a General I can do that. We show up and notice your ship listing and the only comm traffic is one of your pilots trying to find your mother. So, Danny took 1 and 2 SMU to go find the missing away team and I brought engineers from Fearless and Chancellorsville to help." He said. "But if you have everything under control..." “Of course I have everything under control!” she snapped then sighed... “Jazmyn, mom, Abby, Kevin, Jenna, Joe, and Kristen are down on the planet we can't get a hold of them... Then there is this. “she pointed to swirling liquid in the force field. “We think it's one of the beings mom was going down to make contact with. We have no idea how it got on board. We think it might have been trying to sabotage the ship.” "Well that's lovely." Praxis said, "I take it Major Hanson was leading a search pattern for the away team?” “She was trying to fly low enough to cut through what ever interference is jamming our signals. That's not the worst of it. No one on this ship is able to use their telepathy. Before we lost contact, there was this burst of telepathic... the only word I can think of is static. It was excruciatingly painful. Since then no one can use their telepathy. Something is blocking us. I have a feeling its mom trying to protect everyone.” "It could be. Or they could be telepathic themselves and jamming that, too." Praxis said. "They are water based, we should have the Fearless and Chancellorsville start lighting up any body of water they locate." “The only problem with that is this planet is inhabited with other life forms, if you light up bodies of water their could be other casualties. Not sure you want that on your hands Praxis.”Lela walked back towards the creature. “We are analyzing how the thing moves maybe we can find some sort of pattern to communicate with it.” "Genocide is rather bad for one's career..." Praxis said. "How are the repairs going?" “Yeah, besides didn't you get in trouble for something like that already?” she turned back to look at him. “If I had more time and more people it might be going better. We are short of engineers.. Hell I'm pulling triple duty at the moment, chief engineer, second in command of marines, and acting CO. It's going slow. Unfortunately it's hard to know where this thing was and where in the ship it did the damage. I have everyone I can spare either on the repairs or searching the ship for anymore of these things.” "Firstly, it wasn't genocide. We mutilated the corpses of armed enemy combatants. Secondly, you have the resources of the Fearless and Chancellorsville to help. Use them. Lela sighed she looked around to make sure no one was listening she winced when she realized just about everyone was watching. She grabbed his arm and led him just inside the CEO's office. “I appreciate your help Praxis. On a personal note... How is he?” "Well I just sent him into a potential combat situation so he's happier than a Klingon with a barrel of bloodwine. But truely though he's been miserable." “Well, I miss him but if you tell him I said that I will castrate you.” her tail twitched back and forth and she looked in dead in the eyes. “Send over two teams of marines and have your engineers get to work we need to find the problem to fix it. As for you, well you're a general and out rank me so if you want command it's yours obviously.” "I'll make the transfers, but I think I should take command from Fearless. She hasn't suffered damage, and if needed can possibly get a better tactical picture." “Be careful we don't know how the creature got here in the first place or how long it was here before we found it.” Lela warned. "Yeah. I have a thought about that. 1SMU experimented with a technique to sabotage Banor ships by riding the return signal from the transporter. They only tested it with bombs, never with a living being though." “Jesus I'm an idiot, why didn't I think of that? K'Shani and I worked on that!” Lela went over to the desk and pulled up the transporter records. “Damn, Praxis have the Fearless send me their transporter records before you beam back I think I might know how they got on here” "Absolutely. Maybe I'll stay here." Praxis said, but talked breifly to Captain Blake about sending the records over, and isolating the transporter systems. Lela received the records she sat studying them and comparing them to the Veroto's. “Damn, you're mot going to like this” "I was hoping we took them off guard. They had to come from here, though. Ground teams took runabouts." Lela spun the screen around and pointed, “you see this spike right here. They have found a way to tap into the transporter mid transport and lock in on the originating platform. When we started the transport they locked on to it and where able to send someone through it. It's a liquid so all someone would really think is someone spilled something on the pad no one would really think anything of it. Now watch this.” she pulled up the records of Praxis transporting to the Veroto and over layed the patter over the verotos. It's a match, they hijacked your transport.” "Goddamnit." Praxis said. "No using the transporters, lock them down. Lock down your shuttle bays, too. Just in case. We'll have to use those for personnel transfers." “Understood” she sent the appropriate messages via the computer, “Warn the other ships. I have to figure out a way to detect these things” "Chancellorsville should still be clean, they didn't beam anyone over. They should have a shuttle inbound momentarily." “No one should leave the ships affected, we don't know if they have already gotten on the shuttles, or how many of these things there are. I'm sorry Praxis but I'm quarantining the Veroto.” "No sorry needed." He tapped his commbadge. "Quarantine now in effect on Fearless and Veroto. Chancellorsville, recall your shuttle." “At least until we can detect these things.” Lela walked towards the door, “Let's see what we can come up with.” Lela walked over to the containment field. “So far we have only the chemical composition, I may be able to modify a tricorder but our internal sensors are down.” Praxis's commbage chirped. =/\= Fearless to General Hardfighter, We managed to seal off the transporter room, and just in case set up containment fields for five sections and three decks around it. We found one of the creatures attempting to assault a Betazoid crewmember. Lela frowned, “I'm sending marines to check on our telepathic crew members.” she said sending a message to the Marine CO. “Who is in charge?” a voice asked behind them. Lela turned to see one of the Vulcan engineers walking toward them, but the walk was off, broken, the steps looked wrong. She looked over at Praxis and pulled the phaser from her hip. Praxis pulled his Phaser as well. "I am Lieutenant General Praxis Hardfighter. I am in command." “Hello Lieutenant General” the voice was broken as well. "Quickly, state your purpose before I lose patience and kill you." Praxis said. levelling his phaser at the Vulcan. He trusted the Vulcan would understand if Praxis pulled the trigger, serving the needs of the many while sacrificing the life of the one. “We seek peace, and your compliance. Your Admiral Phaserman didn't understand that.” the being said. "Peace is not my profession," Praxis said, "And sabotaging warships and possessing my officers are acts of war, which IS my profession." “You said didn't... is the away team still alive?” Lela asked. “For now and you are?” “Major Lela Hardfighter” she growled. “Are you blocking our communications and telepathy?” “Your communications yes but your telepathy no, your Admiral Phaserman is doing that, she is making it hard for us to communicate as well.” “Make you a deal. You stop your jamming and I'll ask Admiral Phaserman to stop hers." Praxis said. The being stopped as almost to consider it. “Unfortunately we cannot allow that. You see your Federation sought a peace treaty with us. Sought our help we are willing to give it all we have is one simple request.” "And people call me unreasonable. I'll hear your request, being, but understand that I have the authority not only to nullify any potential treaty, but to authorize my ships and fighters to render your planet uninhabitable for millenia. As Major Hardfighter said earlier, I've committed genocide before." He was counting on the being not having overheard the entire conversation. Lela remained silent but inside she was trying not to laugh her ass off. “We require hosts” "Hosts? Living beings?" “Yes, this creature I inhabit, this is what we need.” Praxis kept his phaser on the Vulcan's head. "Surely you can't be serious? I cannot, I WILL NOT, order any person under my charge to allow you to possess them." “Then we have nothing to discuss and you and your people will be destroyed.” the being seeped out of the Vulcan. “Level 9 containment field” Lela shouted. Praxis tracked the fluid, shifted the phaser to it's highest thermal setting and fired. Lela watched as the being was vaporized. “You know a second one would have made things go faster.” she shook her head, “Go join the other Marines I have work to do” "Probably. Arm everyone. You see a puddle, vaporize it first, ask questions later. As of right now, we are in a war zone." Praxis said, Seriously considering giving the order to turn the planet below into a smoldering ruin again. “I know what your thinking, we need to get our people back first and I need to figure out how to detect these things.” "I know. But we have the best ground pounders and flyboys in the business working on bringing them back. Danny, Ben and K'Shani will see to it." "Wish I was down there with them" Lela sighed and held her stomach for a moment before going back to work. JP Lela Hardfighter and Praxis Hardfighter |

Abigail Locktight Abby stopped because she thought she had heard something behind her “Abby” she exclaimed, “your 3 o'clock” "~Fang, it worked hope dad doesn't find out I disobeyed him~" Abby heard Fang shoot something and under her breath "thanks for that" Abby then turned around to see both Fang and Reaper decloak "Fang, Reaper good to know disobeying your freight commanding officer aka your father and reading old earth Vampire fiction pays off" Abby decloaks and holds up her now healed finger and recloaks not really wanting to let her guard down holding her phaser out between them " before I give you each a blood pack tell me something only the three of us would know not letting my guard down until I know you're not possessed by them, normally I would use my abilities but Falcon's still shielding us so she might be around somewhere close plus I've not been able to control my telepathic ones for about 2 weeks oh and I've got a pack for her as well I'm for the most part fine just a little blood loss and a little tired I've not stopped for long since the clearing" Philip Locktight Philip had been unable to read anyone's minds for some reason, he couldn't even really detect Steve's thoughts any more but he could tell the crew and Steve were on edge so were his sisters "=/\= Locktight to anyone on the senior staff, please come in what's going on? Why can't Steve and I hear thoughts any more?" tag Reaper, Fang and someone on the senior staff |

Liz Hanson "Kitten 105, this is Black Knight 101. We've located what we think is the source of the jamming." The squadron leader reported, static crackling over the line. Since the jamming was limited to the standard subspace channels, the fighters were using Very Low Frequency radio channels. the VLF broadcasts weren't as secure, and not crystal clear like Subspace was, but allowed voice and data broadcasts. "Take it out, Knight Leader." Liz ordered. The Black Knights squadron rallied together, getting organized, then rolled in on the target, firing their phasers as they rolled in. "Photon torpedoes. Fire!" Knight 101 ordered. the dozen fighters loosed their weapons and broke. The explosion ripped through trees and underbrush, sending splinters and burnt debris flying. the pressure wave blew leaves off the trees for several hundred meters. Liz flew over the sight, still trailing the antenna. "All units, that's an affirmative hit on some sort of technology. Switching to Subspace frequencies." She said, then shifted over. "Kitten 105 to Admiral Phaserman, do you copy?" Ben Pierce Ben's runabout landed opposite what was left of the pond. Several fighters had bombed it before the landings, boiling off most of the water. "What's the intel like?" Ben asked, looking to Danny. "Some sort of telepathic or empathic water beings. At least that was what the transmission from the Veroto said." "So we vape anything wet?" Ben asked. "Yeah." Danny said. Watch the trees, if anything looks abnormally wet, shoot it." Staff Sergeant Roberts stepped forward, slamming the charging handle forward on his autophaser. "Sir, I'll take point." "Saves me the trouble of ordering you on point, kid." Ben said. Danny looked at him funny. "You put your own son on point?" "Builds character." Ben said with a shrug. "Sure. If you say so. Move out." Danny ordered. "Phantom White, on me." Ben said. "Blue on K'Shani, Red on Thames and Green on McMillian." Ben ordered. 2 SMU also split up into four squads. from the pond, the eight groups of operators split up. "Chaos Actual to all units, look for any signs of life: Broken twigs, footprints, even drag marks or blood trails." "Tricorders out." Ben ordered, clipping his to his rifle's handguard, then linking it to his helmet's heads up display. "There's life signs this way," Ben said, pointing towards the high ground, "Too far away to be species specific, but definately life signs." "How can we be sure we aren't deer hunting, Colonel?" Danny asked. "I had it filter out known non-sentient mammalian species, and similar results." Ben said. "Well let's hope it worked." Danny said. The Operators moved out, following Staff Sergeant Roberts. Tag |

"Yes Abby because if I were posseed by a being that where telepathic I would really be able to shield all my thoughts from them, asking me something only you and I would know is really not going to apply here I don't have the same shielding capabilites as you two do. Also if I where possesed do you really think we would be standing here having this conversation or that I would have just shot that stupid thing. Also we don't even know if these things can posses vampires, we arn't exactly you're average life forms. Where the fuck is my mother-in-law anyway shouldn't we be going on the offensive here they took one of ours, her own daughter and we are running from these bags of water" Jenna growled. Kira decloaked beside Jenna, "Wow tell me how you really feel, good idea with the blood Abby, I was able to follow the scent to you. Anyone seen Ms. McQueen?" TAG ABBY (Hey all I want to get this wrapped up pretty quickly I am in the process on getting another mission set up this time I am thinking a little more mystery. The only one that is going to know the plot line is me you guys are in for a surprise) |
