Pilgrim 6/5

[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** After a brief montage of scenes from earlier in the current arc, the camera shows the U.S.S.
Pilgrim near an only recently-rebuilt Deep Space 9.  The scene changes to the interior of T'Pang's...

[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ready room as the log begins... **

[9:03] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's log, supplemental. We have recieved a cloaking deivce from Romulan sources. This increases
my confidence in the our chances of success.

[9:04] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Now we just need to finalize any last minute details of our plan and execute. End Log.

[9:04] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shuts off the recorder and puts it away.--

[9:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Down in Engineering, a male and a female Romulan were off in the corner with their cloaking
device, monitoring it carefully.*

[9:05] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Captain T'Pang to Lieutenant Gayle.=/\=

[9:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] =/\= "Aye Captain?"

[9:06] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor is obsessively reading all his notes on all the travel methods, especially the two most
viable ones at the moment.*

[9:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Have the senior staff assemble in the conference room for a meeting.=/\=

[9:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Yes, ma'am."

[9:07] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] =/\= "Senior staff, report to the conference room please."

[9:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She eyeballed the Romulans from her console.*

[9:08] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor raises an eyebrow, then looks to his board, to see who has the most happy sun
stickers.* "Otsuka. You get to keep an eye on the others. Don't burn the labs down while I'm gone."

[9:08] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "I think I'd have to try very hard to do that with all the safeties, sir!"

[9:09] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Meanwhile, in the secured quarters, Serris' counterpart is happily dancing around in a loose-
fitting oversized shirt.*

[9:09] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor chuckles, shaking his head.* "It was a joke, ensign." *He takes the small drive of
assorted notes, plans, graphs and most importantly, pie charts.*

[9:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Jill you can be in charge while im gone today.

[9:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Hu--- oh!  Yeah, sure thing, Aria."

[9:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *gives a side glance at the romulans before heading out*

[9:10] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang quietly crosses the bridge to the conference room. She neters sets her PADD down on the
table and walks to the window.--

[9:11] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *Milla was already there, two padds lying on the table in front of her. She worked on one while
referencing information on the other*

[9:11] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor heads out of the labs, entering the lift.*

[9:11] [DOIC4] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Follows before the doors close*

[9:12] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to the orion.* "Bridge."

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle turned her console over to her backup before she headed into the conference room.*

[9:13] [DOIC4] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods and sighs*

[9:13] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift whisked them off to the bridge.*

[9:13] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Aria, worry masked as best he can.* "We will figure it out. One way or the other."

[9:14] [DOIC4] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *clenches her jaw and doesnt say anything*

[9:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A chime interrupted Serris' solo dance.*

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Aria and T'Ghor arrived on the bridge.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *RIdes in silence until they reach the bridge, not looking to Aria, then walks out after her.*

[9:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris heard it this time, walking over to the door and pressing the control.*

[9:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Computer, pause music."

[9:15] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors slid open, revealing a very stone-faced Amanar standing between the security forces
outside his door.*

[9:15] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Walks into the conference room, nodding at those already there.*

[9:16] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stands at the window staring off into space as th eother officers assemble.--

[9:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Oh, shit. Uh, hi." *He stands there awkwardly.*

[9:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "I need to have a word with you."  *There was no mirth in his tone.*

[9:17] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Computer, set gravity to ship standard."

[9:17] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *sits in a chair not looking too chipper today*

[9:17] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He steps aside.*

[9:17] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *didn't even look up as other people entered. She was busy with whatever was on her padds*

[9:18] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He stepped inside, nodding to the security minions as the door closed.*  "I've been
briefed on the situation."

[9:18] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Seems calm, although it seems Aria's mood is rubbing off on him, his fingers tapping on the
table.*

[9:18] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I wanted to tell you, but Deati wouldn't let me have any visitors."

[9:19] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And, well, I don't have comm system access in here."

[9:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "For good reason, I don't know why they let you have these nice quarters in the first
place after what you pulled," *he growled.*

[9:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're here to find out whether or not you were part of the mission, aren't you?"

[9:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' ears droop.*

[9:21] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Among other things."  *He crossed his arms.*

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Doctor Vant arrived last, taking one of the remaining chairs.*

[9:21] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at her assembled officers. a grim look of determination on her face.--

[9:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, no, you weren't." *There was a wistful sincerity in his voice, followed by a long pause.*

[9:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "In a manner of speaking, that makes it even worse," *he growled.*  "How dare you?"

[9:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked to T'Pang expectantly.*

[9:23] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I called this meeting to give us an opportunity to finalize our plans."

[9:23] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.*

[9:24] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He looks like a kicked puppy when Amanar raises his voice.* "Where I'm from, things are
different. The humans, they just take what they want and who they want and we don't get a say in the matter."

[9:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "And that gives you the right to do the same thing, how?"

[9:24] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You saved me."

[9:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods toward Aria.-- "You may have noticed our guests in engineering. It was a package deal
with the cloak. They are a resource you can call on for operating and maintaining the cloak."

[9:24] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, your other self."

[9:25] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods to acknowledge the captain*

[9:25] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You two are almost exactly alike. You have the same passion behind your eyes, that stoic
conviction, but that deep-seated goodness and lighthearted fun side."

[9:25] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *Narrows her eyes and frowns at the mention of their "guests". She's clearly not happy about the
situation, but she declines to verbalize it here.*

[9:25] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "When I came here, you were distraught, in pain. When I look at you, in your eyes, I see him.
You practically have the same soul."

[9:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she pauses for a moment.-- "Don't give them any more access to our systems than you really need to
however."

[9:26] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Notices Milla doing that and gives her a nod, apparently agreeing.*

[9:26] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I didn't want to see you suffer, I wanted to bring you some measure of happiness."

[9:26] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "I don't care if my other self is the king of Orion and all its riches, what the hell
gives you the right?"  *His voice continued to rise.*  "I never would have slept with you if I had...

[9:26] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: known who, what you are, 'Serris.'  Do you even realise what you did to me by doing that?"

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She took notes on a PADD.*

[9:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Now for the main part of our plan. We will proceed to Minos Korva and execute the plan for crossing
over as given to us by Zital."

[9:29] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris doesn't say anything, as it would probably just make things worse.*

[9:29] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Aria and T'Ghor-- "How long do you estimate it will take to prepare?"

[9:30] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Engineering would be ready before we would arrive from our current location.

[9:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "The others may pity you, but I don't.  I see you for what you really are.  A selfish
bastard who takes what he isn't offered freely, just like everyone else from your miserable universe."

[9:30] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor closes his eyes for the briefest moment, trying not to give his absolutely honest opinion, before opening them.* "Depends on the devices we procure from the defector there."

[9:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "You and all of your kind can burn for all I care."

[9:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "They're going to, that's why I'm here."

[9:31] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *tries and fails to restrain herself* So we're going to trust that little kidnapping saboteur?

[9:31] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Then it can't happen soon enough!"  *He snarled and started for the door.*

[9:31] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Use whatever resources you need. If you need him there drag Zital down to engineering."

[9:31] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Wait." *He placed a tentative hand on Amanar's arm.*

[9:31] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...I do believe that if you're going to trust him, there's a faster way to do it than going to Minas Korva."

[9:31] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Milla-- "Yes, we are."

[9:31] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I'd rather not let him into engineering or any other secure space ever Captain.

[9:32] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I have to agree, the plan's to bring something from there over here as a counterbalance?  Right?  What if we end up bringing in something we really shouldn't have?"

[9:32] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'Ghor-- "Explain."

[9:32] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *Makes a small note on her PADD*

[9:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "What."  *He snapped.*

[9:33] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What Lieutenant Gayle said. There is a plan to replace our ship with a supposedly abandoned space station from their universe. However, that idea was given by Zital too, and there are many unknowns>

[9:33] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It hardly matters what secure data he comes in contact with, when this mission is over he will be turned over to Admiral Compton. I am sure we are likely to never hear from him again."

[9:33] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Like there are with the Minas Korva plan, but this is quicker, at least."

[9:34] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're here to understand what happened. Let me show you."

[9:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --turns and listens intently to T'Ghor.--

[9:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He jerked his arm away.*  "I don't want anything else from you."

[9:35] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Commander Valkriss made it clear my opinions on this matter don't matter. But I can't work efficently if I have to watch a sabotuer running wild in engineering and do my Job Sir."

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She blinked at Aria with that.*

[9:35] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Basically, we replace two things of equal mass to keep the balance. Theoretically, it can happen, but it is not my specialization. I would have to consult Zital on the matter." *He nods to Aria.* >

[9:35] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And it is not something I am too intent on doing, the less dependent we are on him, the better."

[9:35] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm not offering anything but context."

[9:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Serris... save your context for someone who cares.  You're dead to me, as far as I'm concerned."

[9:37] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- "Lieutenant Commander Xalot, you are in command of engineering. If you don't want him there you don't have to have him there. I only care about results."

[9:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Okay, fine. Hate me, but don't hate the me that's native to your universe."

[9:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's going to be very confused when he gets back."

[9:38] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* Yes SIr.

[9:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's going to need someone to be there for him to drag him out of a dark place."

[9:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "The Serris from this universe didn't do what you did."  *He signalled the security posted outside to let him out.*

[9:39] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: If he does leave his cell again, I would like to install a nueral suppressor to prevent him from using any form of telepathy.

[9:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "That's very reasonable," *he nodded at Milla.*

[9:39] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: In addition to the physical restraints, of course.

[9:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "For all intents and purposes, right now, he thinks he's me, and he's going to have to work through the fact that he's NOT me when he gets back."

[9:40] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[9:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Tell that to Vant, I'm sure he'll pass it along to whatever counselor gets assigned his case."

[9:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Amanar." *He raises his own voice.*

[9:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "-Lieutenant- Amanar, to you," *he snarled.*

[9:41] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: I also had a plan for infiltrating the ship once we find them.

[9:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Whether you care to hear it or not, over there, you're important to me. And I'm sure you two
are at least friendly over here."

[9:41] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I believe I could help with that too."

[9:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Be a friend to him, please."

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "We were, until you kidnapped him."

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He stepped out into the hallway as the doors slid open.*

[9:42] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Yes, to a great extend t will will likely have to wing it, as they say once we get
there. But, we should have some sort of preliminary plan in place going in."

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Hope for the best, plan for the worst?"  *She offered.*

[9:43] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Something like that."

[9:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know, I thought you were a better person than this."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: The initial approach would require altering our warp signature to match terran signatures. That should
also allow us to approach relatively closely without raising their suspicions. Once in range, we

[9:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Funny, I thought the same of you."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: either disable them with precision strikes or convince them we have supplies. Either way, we send a
boarding party consisting entirely of humans or human-appearing. This will make them think it's

[9:44] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Milla, then T'Ghor-- "I would like to hear your suggestions."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: a power grab or something internal, and shift the potential blame away from the Federation. We'd need
either Terran uniforms, civilian or mercenary style clothes and equipment.

[9:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You knew something was different, you just didn't care because you enjoyed it."

[9:45] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods as she listens to Milla.--

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It'll be tough getting those without some friends on the other side."

[9:45] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If that fails, I could provide an useful distraction. According to Zital, I am one of the most
wanted enemies of the empire in their universe."

[9:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Go to hell."  *The door slid shut, leaving Serris in his gilded cage.*

[9:46] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'Ghor as if that news does not surprise her in the least.--

[9:46] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: The uniforms shouldn't be too difficult. They're variations of our own. Failing that, we can just use
mercenary equipment instead.

[9:46] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *just listens looking apprehensive about saying anything more*

[9:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sighs in frustration.* "Computer, clear music queue and reset gravity to H'Tarran
specifications."

[9:47] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Weapons appear to be some kind of mixture between Cardassian-style disruptors and our own
weapons."

[9:47] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I am familiar with Terran weapons and equipment. I have been to that universe on more
than one occasion."

[9:48] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "Apologies, Captain."

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She tapped at her PADD.*  "We can probably get some of that from DS9 before we take
off, the rest can be replicated of course."

[9:49] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Permission to replicate traditional klingon battle armours as well? In case something goes
sideways and I need to pretend to be a terrorist?"

[9:50] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will most certainly employ stealth and subterfuge for this mission. I would like to have as
little contact with the Terrans as is realistically possible."

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Run in, grab Zital, run home.  Sounds simple enough, right?"

[9:51] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: You left out the part where we don't leave any witnesses.

[9:51] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am concerned about possibly framing individuals in the mirror universe for actions we take. I
realize he is already a wanted criminal. But, I have concerns about causing him more trouble than he ..

[9:51] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: already has."

[9:51] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "There is probably a easy way to get a mixed team of whoever we want on board without firing a
shot..." *Aria offered timidly*

[9:52] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "If he's a terrorist, wouldn't he want all the exposure he could get?  To, you know,
terrorise?"

[9:52] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Gayle.-- "perhaps."

[9:53] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to ARia-- "What was your idea."

[9:53] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Not to mention it would be the perfect cover if we do board the ship."

[9:53] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor stays silent, pondering T'Pang and Milla's words, before looking to Aria.*

[9:54] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "A variation of a trick we used once a few years ago. We keep big pilly cloaked but nearby and have
a shuttle we ugly up to look like a civy one. Then the human crew members pretend to be slave trader

[9:54] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's get one thing straight, we may not need 'cover'. The plan at this point is to get in get what
we want and kill anyone who gets in our way."

[9:54] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: traders. Offering the 'alien members of the team for sale, or use or whatever."

[9:54] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She blinked at T'Pang in complete surprise.*

[9:55] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Trojan horse style."

[9:55] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *looks at T'pang with surprised approval*

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "All we have to worry about is masking our identities as best we can."

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grins at T'Pang.* "I like your style, Captain."

[9:56] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Actually... T'ghor gives me an idea.

[9:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded at Aria.*  "I'm kind of liking her plan a little more..."

[9:56] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We can get typical things. Helmets, face masks... we can..." *He cuts himself off, before
looking to Milla.*

[9:57] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "After all the shit they've pulled in their universe and in ours, quite frankly I don't
care if we take Serris and then blow up their entire ship."

[9:57] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Most of my team is human or human-appearing, so we need to go with the internal stife angle, but what if
we use T'Ghor as the bait that gets us aboard? He's a wanted terrorist already.

[9:57] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at Vant.* "They deserve it." *He then nods at Milla.* "If we succeed... well. If
we succeed, may I ask of a favour, Captain?"

[9:58] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Toss in a few more aliens, and we have more than enough of a boarding party.

[9:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods at T'Ghor--

[10:00] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If we succeed, and somehow disable or destroy the I.S.S. Pilgrim, and we know we can get away
before reinforcements come... allow me to make a short broadcast. People over there know the other me as>

[10:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "

[10:00] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Some sort of liberator or freedom fighter... if we can give the non-humans hope, and the will
to fight, we can destabilize the Terrans further... not to mention, it is the right thing to do."

[10:00] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "That would be a pretty big prime directive breach." *says quietly*

[10:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will have to see how this plays out Lieutenant."

[10:01] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded at Aria.*

[10:01] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: The Prime Directive went out the window when they started kidnapping our people.

[10:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Still, the less impact we make over there, the better."

[10:03] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Milla.* "The Lieutenant said it. It's already messed up. We may as well use that to
our advantage... and to do the morally correct thing."

[10:03] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "When it comes to the Mirror Universe I think we are far beyond the prime directive at
this point."

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She frowned down at her PADD as she listened to the others.*

[10:04] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "if it wasn't for the fact that we are separated by a dimensional barrier we would likely already
be in a state of all out warfare now."

[10:05] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "A barrier that seems to gain more holes every day."

[10:05] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Given their recent actions in Cardassia and the Alpha Quadrant as a whole, we pretty much are already.

[10:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let's face it. All the accounts I've heard and read of them... they are monsters, and a
threat. They deserve everything they get."

[10:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "That'll be up for the Admiralty to decide.  For now, our only mission is to get him
back."

[10:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- indeed doctor. And thus that dictates the rules of engagement in this matter. We are
considering ourselves to be at war with these people."

[10:06] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *sighs and keeps her thoughts to herself*

[10:06] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives the smallest angry grin. He had never met a more agreeable vulcan than T'Pang.*

[10:07] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: It has nothing to do with what they deserve. My only concern is whether or not they'll continue to be a
threat. Serris already kidnapped one of our officers, what's stopping them from taking more?

[10:08] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They seem to be developing ways to traverse the barrier more efficiently. An invasion is a
matter of time, if we do not do what we can to destabilize their internal security."

[10:09] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.  This is a rescue op, we're not bring down a
freaking Empire in a day."

[10:09] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We need to try and gather as much intelligence about thier operations as possible. in order to
secure against future threats."

[10:09] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We need to try and gather as much intelligence about thier operations as possible. in order to
secure against future threats."

[10:10] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: At the very least, we need to minimize our footprint, and that means we don't leave any record or
witnesses.

[10:10] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods, then looks to T'Pang, waiting on her verdict.*

[10:11] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Agreed we need to minimize our signature during this raid. our primary objective remains to secure
our Zital and his research."

[10:11] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Speaking of research, did we ever offload ours? I can't stress enough how much of a mistake it would be
to bring that with us.

[10:12] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Secondary objectives are to gather as much intelligence as we can on thier current operations."

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It's been delivered to a member of Compton's staff on Deep Space Nine, he'll be
delivering it personally when he gets back to 220."

[10:13] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Of course, we ran a quantum scan of him first."

[10:13] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "Good woman, commander Valkriss..."

[10:13] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: One small victory, at least.

[10:14] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "All that remains now is to execute this plan."

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye ma'am.  Minos Korva is a sector away, at slipstream it won't take very long at
all."

[10:14] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Minas Korva it is..." *Taps his fingers on the table again.*

[10:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'Ghor-- "Unless you have a better suggestion."

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You know my other plans, captain. Either take the leap of faith with the wormhole, or trust
Zital with the switch."

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Anything else would just take too much time.

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "We are taking a huge gamble either way."

[10:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Plans rarely survive implementation, after all."

[10:17] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.*

[10:17] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at her officers-- "unless there is anything else, you are all dismissed. Let's make
this happen."

[10:18] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods stands up and heads for the door*

[10:18] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain."

[10:18] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yes Lieutenant."

[10:19] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "With your permission..." *He looks to Milla.* "I have something that will ensure that if one
of us gets captured, they can take an easy and painless way out, instead of suffer the humiliation the >

[10:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Computer deck 11.

[10:19] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Terrans will put them through... and all the pain."

[10:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she gives T'Ghor a look-- "what? poison tooth?"

[10:20] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *stares at T'Ghor, her expression a mix of conflicting emotions*

[10:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *walks back to her station in engineering*

[10:21] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Poison teeth are fallible. They are harder to activate." *He pulls out a ring with a red
stone from his pocket, holding it up so that T'Pang can see through its hole.* "Test Ring 01, activate." *A >

[10:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Make sure the deflector is running at 100%.

[10:21] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Needle springs up from underneath the stone, where the finger would be, with large force.*
"This can inject you with a lethal dose of poison. Should kill most races for about a minute. Painless, I >

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded and headed to deflector control.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Made sure of it. Voice activated with voice recognition. Only you can use it. The compartment
also holds powder you can use to poison somebody else."

[10:22] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Only the one whose voice it's attuned to*)

[10:22] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Li ten minutes before we arrive at our destination get the other engineering shifts up and have
them stand by at their assigned emergency damage control  team locations.

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "I... definitely can't sign off on that, as a medical professional.  A suicide ring?
Really?"

[10:23] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: For the record, I am strongly opposed to this plan for a multitude of reasons, and I advised the
Lieutenant not to even suggest it.

[10:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she considers it passively-- "Interesting. I can't really sign off on that either. It is in fact
against Federation law to assist a suicide."

[10:24] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Vant.* "You probably know as well as I do what happens to non-humans in that
universe. If I can find a way to prevent that from happening to anyone who might get captured..."

[10:24] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He then nods at T'Pang.* "It is your choice, Captain." *The worry in his voice is barely
there.*

[10:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "So do you think Lieutenant Zital should just kill himself over there so we don't have
to bother with rescuing him?"

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Got it,

[10:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will have to make sure no one is left behind."

[10:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She made a 'yikes' face and got up.*  "I'll tell Fenna to get ready to take us out,
Captain."

[10:25] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "T'Ghor looks to Vant.* "No. But he didn't partake in open hostilities. And he has someone to
protect him." *He then nods at T'Pang.* "Will do, Captain.

[10:26] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I go to grab Zital and tell him to get his blue a... himself on setting us up for the shift,
then?"

[10:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "Lieutenant T'Ghor?"

[10:26] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Doctor?"

[10:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beep boops and mumbles to herself* "I just hope im not on this away team. What a mess."

[10:27] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "The next time you decide to... dabble in alchemy, perhaps it would be wise to consult
the Chief Medical Officer about these things first?"

[10:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will keep it in mind, Doctor."

[10:27] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vant]  "I'm sure you will," *he harrumphed and headed for the door.*

[10:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she turns and heads out onto the bridge.

[10:28] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *looks at T'ghor* If it comes down to killing him or leaving him behind, I'll shoot him myself.

[10:28] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Waits for T'Pang, then heads out himself, towards Serris' quarters. He then stops and looks
at Milla.* "Lieutenant. Permission to borrow Ensign Vaanas again to poke Zital with a gun"

[10:28] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He then nods at her.* "Understood."

[10:29] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: Poke him with a gun? And I thought I was the bad cop.

[10:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Bridge signals that we'll be engaging slipstream once we clear the Bajor system."

[10:29] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I may be softer to him, does not mean I trust him fiddling around with my equipment. I will
keep what he does under watch, but I do prefer to have someone with a bigger phaser there."

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Ready to depart the system on your order, Captain."

[10:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood. Engage."

[10:31] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: If he's going to leave that cell, he's going to have at least two guards on him at all times anyway.

[10:31] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good. I assume they're already in front of the room?

[10:31] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** An exterior shot showed the Pilgrim beginning to coast away from DS9 and toward the edge of
the Bajor system.*

[10:32] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And I can trust on them having orders to follow me once I get him out of there?"

[10:32] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: They should be. If they're not, notify me immediately.  And yes, unless Valkriss decided to modify more
of my orders. It seems to happen with disturbing frequency.

[10:33] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sighs sadly.* "You can't expect everything to click like it did under Valais, can you..." *He
says with melancholy, heading for the door.*

[10:33] [DOIC2] Milla@Cuatela: *shrugs and follows him out*

[10:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Slipstream is charging."

[10:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Clears his throat in the lift, remembering Valkriss' word for it.* "VIP Quarters." *Whoosh*

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *T'Ghor was whisked away.*

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *She, too, was taken off to another set piece.*

[10:35] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor heads to the "VIP quarters" and looks to the two guards.* "I am here for Zital. I
expect you two to be with us at all times."

[10:36] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Guard]  "Yes sir."

[10:36] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He enters, not bothering to buzz the doors.* "You're coming with me, Blue."

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she leans back in her chair, enjoying the ride.--

[10:36] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Okay." *He seems a bit deflated.*

[10:36] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...What's the matter?"

[10:36] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He walks out, asking his question*

[10:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Your best friend stopped by."

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Slipstream drive is green, engaging!"  *She cheerfully hit the button, happy she was
getting to fly.*

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I see... His reaction is to be expected." *He waits for the guards to enter the lift, before
calling out* "Deck 11."

[10:37] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim went to slipstream and left the Bajor system in the dust.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Forty seconds to arrival, ma'am."

[10:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He said I'm dead to him and that everyone from my universe can burn for all he cares."

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --synchronizes her chronometer.--

[10:38] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That's... yeah. He can say some mean things when he's angry. But I need you to focus now.
We're going for your plan, we're headed for Minas Korva."

[10:38] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Lift goes whoosh*

[10:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Okay, are we going to engineering?"

[10:39] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Aria will deal with that. You will deal with the equipment in my labs."

[10:39] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We will coordinate it with her over comms."

[10:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Alright then."

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The guards followed dutifully behind T and Fakeberry.*

[10:40] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor enters the labs.* "A fair warning, I will be keeping an eye, and since I know the
basic proceedings, if you try anything sabotage-y..."

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Five seconds... disengaging slipstream..."

[10:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I turned myself in for that and voluntarily deactivated my rootkit in the secondary computer
core."

[10:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He waved at T'Ghor and Serris as they arrived.*  "Hey, Chief!"

[10:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Isn't it abundantly clear to..."

[10:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stares at Jagoda for a long time.*

[10:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He blinked back at Serris.*

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hey, Jagoda. And while it is clear, I still need to say that. Now get to work please."

[10:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Where am I working?" *He looks back to T'Ghor.*

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Points him to a console.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --waits for the ship to arrive in system.--

[10:42] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** An exterior shot showed the Pilgrim exiting slipstream into the Minor Korva system.  They
could see a G-class star burning in the centre, with twelve plants caught in its gravitational pull.**

[10:42] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "T'Ghor to Commander Xalot."

[10:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sits at the designated chair and uses a generic science lab access parameter to get
into deflector control, beginning to configure the preset for the transition.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Xalot here.

[10:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Gayle scan the area for any contacts."

[10:43] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Work has begun for the Quantum replacement plan in my labs. How is progress in
engineering?" *He says, not taking his eyes off the screen of Serris' console.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am."  *She pressed a few buttons.*

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Its going.

[10:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... That's promising."

[10:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Aye, ma'am."  *She took them in.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Detecting a Cardassian civilian freighter, but they're already moving out of the
system."

[10:47] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Keeps watch over Serris' work, staying silent, even if his anger and worry are easy to pick
up on, even without telepathy.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Understood keep an eye on them, in case they change course."

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye ma'am."

[11:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  *He arrived then.*  "Someone ordered a neutral suppressor?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: That's a lot of ships out there...

[11:19] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Probably me."

[11:19] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That would be for Mr. Zital... Please deal with it in his quarters."

[11:19] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor says that and whooshes off.*

[11:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  *He read his PADD.*  "That it is... let's take this there, then."

[11:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, they will provide good cover should anyone come looking."

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Some sort of battle?  Or a graveyard to tow them to?"

[11:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris leans back on the turbolift wall.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor shows up on the bridge, frowning at the KCA wrecks.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Maybe a little of both. The prisoner did mention something about the Terrans wiping out the Klingons and
Cardassians. Might've happened here.

[11:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Anyway... engaging cloak now, captain."

[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm, how far out are we fom the ISS Pilgrim's last reported position?"

[11:21] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim's image distorted as it phased out of sight. **

[11:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris is escorted to his room.* "Computer, revert gravity to ship standard." *He says
before he enters.*

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "It's nine lightyears to the Betreka Nebula, Captain."

[11:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "alright lay in a course. Let's go hunting."

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Course laid in, Captain."

[11:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Maker help us all out here..."  *She murmured.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are on combat alert status from this point forward."

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to Gayle.* "It's not the Maker who will decide it for us. It is all in our
hands"

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I don't literally believe in it you know... but you're right."

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Keep passive sensors looking for any sign of the ISS Pilgrim."

[11:28] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *nods and wordlessly triggers red alert, but overrides the automatic shields and weapons*

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes Gayle."

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor makes scans for anything outside of the ordinary himself.*

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Perhaps this would be a good time for a shipwide?  I'm sure some of the crew don't
even know we're in another universe right now."

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "That is good thinking Lieutenant."

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put me on intercraft comms."

[11:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She smiled softly and hit the button.*  "You're on, Captain."

[11:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  *He went to set his box on the table.*  "Now this won't be a minute."

[11:31] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Attention crew, we have successfully made the transition into the mirror universe. We are now
behind enemy lines and on our own. There is no help for us out here. But, we have a plan and I have ...

[11:32] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li furrows his brow.*

[11:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor continues his scans silently, his face scrunched up, as if the scans are the only
thing keeping him from punching something.*

[11:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She turned the channel off.*  "Gonna be an awkward discussion in the mess hall I
think."

[11:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --doesn't even bother to response to that.--

[11:37] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor scoffs.* "Let them talk. So long as they're ready to do their job, I don't care if
they're singing andorian love songs."

[11:37] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I would imagine most of the crew already knows. I already briefed my security team, and both engineering
and science have been working on this for days.

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yeah, but imagine being the last to know..."

[11:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Unpleasant. But you put it behind you and do your job."

[11:40] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *shrugs and goes back to watching her console*

[11:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  *He picked up a long device from the box, touching it to Serris' forehead and
plunging it in.  It was only mildly discomfortable.*  "Don't worry, it's removable."

[11:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not that they'll ever get around to that."

[11:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But thanks for the reassurance, I guess."

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  "Hey, everyone gets a second chance if they're willing to rehabilitate.  It's
the Federation."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Tell that to everyone else."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I turn myself in, tell them explicitly how to penetrate their defenses, how to get over
here..."

[11:44] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at Jill* What do you think that project I had you and Li work on was for?

[11:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... and all I get is, 'you're a selfish monster and you're dead to me'."

[11:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "You never specified," *she rubbed her arm.*  "And I... um... didn't want to bother
you with questions."

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  "Sounds like you need a diary."  *He closed the box.*  "Let us know if you
experience any unusual headaches."

[11:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thanks." *He offers half-heartedly.*

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Technician]  *He headed out.*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sat there, anxiously wondering if T'Pang was going to hold up her end of Serris'
amnesty deal.*

[11:48] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** Several hours passed as the Pilgrim travelled under cloak until at last they reached their
destination; the Betreka Nebula. **

[11:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We're in the nebula, Captain. Permission to ask for more power to scanners?"

[11:50] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *chuckles quietly* You want to ask for permission to ask for permission to increase power to sensors?

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She smirked at that.*

[11:50] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Did you work in the department of redundancy department before you joined Starfleet?

[11:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances back at Gayle-- "You are oeprations are you not. You would know better than anyone if
there was extra power available to divert to the sensors."

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ever meet a Klingon so damned polite?"  *She chuckled

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We don't have a lot extra with the Romulan cloak, ma'am."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: You also don't want to use active sensors while cloaked, but the nebula is probably ruining the
effectiveness of the cloak anyway.

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Being polite is hard. I try."

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The nebula is probably messing the cloak up bad enough."

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Gayle, see if you can find some extra power to divert to sensors. Without affecting
critical systems...like the cloak."

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well, hope no one's trying to take a shower right now."  *She powered off some of
their unimportant systems to allocate more power to sensors.*

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You should have a little more juice, try it now.  But remember, we are in an
interstellar gas cloud..."

[11:55] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will do my best." *He tries.*

[11:58] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Has more gas than a gorn at a dinner table... Very hard to make anything out while we're in
here."

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Here... let me see if I can do anything to clear it up for you," *she said, tapping away at her screen to bestow T'Ghor with TEAMWORK!*

[11:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks." *He tries again.*

[12:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Try tracking gas cloud currents. The disruption caused by a starship moving through the nebula should show up pretty easily."

[12:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We got an ion trail! Seems to match our data on Terran engine exhaust."

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Send it over!"

[12:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Good work, give helm a bearing."

[12:01] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sends Tamin the direction.*

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She read it on her console and then carefully guided the Pilgrim to follow the ion trail.*

[12:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, Lieutenant." *Looks to Gayle, then continues monitoring his scans.*

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She offered T'Ghor a smile in return.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "There is a faint signature ahead of us... duranium. May be just what we're looking for."

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "These gas clouds are no joke," *she shook her head as she tried to keep them steady.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood, being us in slow and carefully."

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Slow and careful, aye ma'am..."  *She leaned in to her console, her focused on her task.*

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Whatever it is, it is actively scanning the area -hard-. My bets are on the Pilgrim. We should try and minimize all signatures."

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Other Pilgrim, that is."

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "That's not gonna get confusing..."

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I'll see what I can do, we can always use the gas cloud to try and distort ourselves after all."

[12:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes..."

[12:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...A sensor beam just passed over our cloaking field!"

[12:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Li the other teams are up and in position right?

[12:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "What?  Shit..."

[12:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Li's on one of those teams ma'am... and yes, they're in position."

[12:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Is the target reacting?"

[12:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain... Duranium signature is getting stronger. I think they may have done a full about."

[12:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at him and nods*

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Should I take evasives?"

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I'm detecting faint transmissions, Captain."

[12:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes take evasive action."

[12:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "A transmission directed at us our esewhere?"

[12:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Hold on!"  *She took them on a hard right, trying to pull them away from the incoming alternate Pilgrim.*

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It's... at us, ma'am.  They're hailing -us.-"

[12:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put it on screen then."

[12:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor furrows his brow.*

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ma'am..?"

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Uh... I assume no visual back at them?"

[12:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Gayle.-- "Yeah , that is probably wise."

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded and made the necessary adjustments, then put the hail on screen.*

[12:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks up at the screen, wondering if the other T'Pang woul wear black lipstick or lots of eyeliner, as the typical cheesy evil twin.*

[12:16] [DOIC] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *An unexpected, but simultaneously familiar visage would appear on the viewscreen. Serris sat in the captain's chair.* [Serris] "Attention, cloaked vessel: This is the liberated starship Pilgrim. -

[12:16] [DOIC] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - please respond."

[12:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor's eyes go -wide.-*

[12:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *her jaw dropped.*

[12:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises an eyebrow--

[12:17] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Anyone want to place bets that it's a trap?

[12:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Think the real Serris broke the conditioning... or got made somehow?

[12:18] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** As the U.S.S. Pilgrim was left in shock at the sight from the I.S.S. Pilgrim, dramatic music played and the frame freezed as TO BE CONTINUED appeared on the bottom of the screen. **
