-=/-\=- Joint Log -=/-\=- Fifth Bu'bak was in a very bad mood. The trick with the failing cloak on his runabout worked perfectly, the human ship lowered its shields and thus exposed itself to the other four runabouts who attacked it immediately. The Marduk knew that the human Commander would attempt to beam the Jem'hadar and the four civilians on board, but the mobile transport inhibitor on the shuttle failed for some reason ... how good that the First thought about a fail safe. Bu'bak grinned evilly while thinking about the nasty surprise the humans will get with the civilians. On the other hand, he was on the human ship, alone ... with little possibility to get away from here. He was still armed ... but the meager human type II hand phaser could hardly be considered as a weapon. Sure not by a Marduk! Bu'bak was lucky ... he's got the 'special' education on Einhoften as well and among the kiloquads of information's he had learned was how to gain access to a federation computer system. It was a peanut for him to find the location of the armoury once he's gained crew access to the computer system. {There} he thought {I'll get a WEAPON}. He was not afraid ... of course not ... but the 'education' taught him of the value of tactics and strategic thinking. He could go berserk immediately ... run along the corridor and shoot all that moves, but he would be quite easily killed. He didn't do it. Just the opposite ... carefully he tried to approach the armoury's location first. THEN he could go berserk .... Petty Officer John Rico leaned back against the wall just outside of the ships armoury. He and Mags Henderson were assigned to armoury detail that night, and unlike Rico, she was already about ten minutes late for the shift. Glancing at the chronometer on the wall he noted the time when she appeared from around the corner. "Finally decided to show huh", he mumbled as the woman walked closer. "Yeh..I'm sorry...got waylaid." Mags gave him an apologetic smile, but shrugged and explained further. "There's something wrong with this phaser..look..." She held out the weapon on her open palm. "What do you think? It says powers down but then.." she doubly pressed a button ."...see?..it says it full powered. " Rico grabbed the weapon and took a look at it, "Hmm..looks fine. But just in case you should probably exchange it for another though." he said opening the door to the armoury and letting Mags pass. "Jennings and Bryant were on shift before us", he said running his hand across the top of a weapon rack. "So you know the counts going to be off tonight". he joked and then stood by the entrance, waiting for her to exchange her phaser. It was as expected. Finding the armoury, Bu'bak found it guarded by a single marine. Bu'bak grinned evilly to himself thinking how stupid all those humans are. Now ... hiding silent behind the corner Bu'bak thought about his choices. He could shoot the marine with ease, the human was a good and static target, but the problem would be how to get access to the armoury. Bu'bak was 'told' that the access to sensitive ship's areas and systems was heavily coded and it was in not in a Jem'hadar abilities to break the code without special equipment ... equipment that he lacked at the moment. Carefully not to disturb the guarding marine, Bu'bak aimed at the marines right hand ... phaser set to heavy stun and fired! "Usually is with those two" she replied and grinned at him as he reached to open the weapon locker that housed phasers. The whole area suddenly turned Blue and Rico fell back with a cry. Mags stunned by shock, thought the weapon had exploded. Rico had diverted his attention away from both the entrance to armoury and Mags when the Jem'Hadar fired at him. The phaser blast hit Rico straight into the back of his hand, dissolving it into a bloody stump. As he fell to the ground in excruciating pain he managed to look back at Mags thinking she was the culprit, "What did you do", he moaned at her as he held his arm over his stomach. "A do prdele!" snorted Bu'bak. He must have been blind or affected by the transportation's illness when he missed to discover the second human. Where he expected one injured human, now an another human was standing alertly. No education can full stop the jem'hadar reflexes and instincts and now seeing that cover is no longer an alternative, Bu'bak jumped from behind the corner with a furious war cry and shot at the other human wildly. Mags had crouched down beside John. "Nothing...nothing..i didn't do anything" She was clearly appalled at his injuries and looked around frantically. "It overloaded or something...oh God...look at your hand," She stood up intending to find a first aid pack when three phaser blasts zipped past, barely missing her. With a scream of fright, she fell back against the locker and slithered her way backwards into a sheltered spot. Rico gave Mags a look of pain and disgust as she knelt beside him and tried to deny the accident. "Well don't just stand there call si-" he began to say when Mags fell back against the locker and more phaser blasts went flying by. Turning his head towards the source he was astonished to see the charging Jem'Hadar. Instinctively he grabbed at his side phaser with his remaining hand and managed to get off one wild shot before the intruder closed in. Caught off guard by the shot from the human, Bu'bak wasn't able to evade the phaser blast. The blast hit him directly in his right hand ... injuring it severely and ripping his own phaser to pieces. he screamed in pain and furry. But it takes more then one lucky hit to bring a Jem'hadar warrior down ... Bu'bak jumped towards the lying marine and with a mighty kick in the human's left hand the phaser flew halfway down the corridor and shattered to pieces upon hitting the wall. An evil expression appeared on Bu'bak's face and he looked around to see for the other human. "Huh!" escaped from his mouth ... there was NO other human there. Bu'bak looked around once again but still saw nothing. {AM I hallucinating?} he thought. Mags slapped her combadge. "Security...Jem'hadar in Armoury...room three. one man down." she scrambled away as fast as she could, catching sight of Johns figure doubled in pain. {I have to get a phaser...a weapon...} she thought desperately trying to remain silent lest she reveal her position, yet needing to move around to the front of the locker to access the weapons. Rico grunted in more pain as the brute kicked his only weapon out of his hand. "Your under arrest", he managed to say to the Jem'Hadar who seemed to be looking for Mags who had cleverly hid behind a few of the storage lockers. "You ugly bastard", he screamed, hoping to get intruders attention which might buy Mags some time to call for help. "I said Your under arrest, now give up!!". Bu'bak looked down at the human maggot on the floor. Through his clenched teeth's he hissed: "You dare to insult me meager human? You are as weak as a Ferengi smelly horse. It will be a pleasure for me to press the life out of your body". He bowed down to reach for the marine, got hold of him with his left hand and pulled him from the ground in the air. "Begg for mercy human!" he hissed. Mags could hear the jem'hadar and knew that john was distracting him to give her time. But time is strange thing. it travels at the same speed but seems to quicken or slow down and now for mags it seemed to take an age before she could tap in the code to unlock the weapons. She seized a rifle from the row in front of her and turning to face him, aimed at the warrior now laughing cruelly at his victim. "Look at ME! she cried, knowing he was about to kill the helpless man. "Look here..." Rico grunted again as the massive Jem'hadar picked him up with one hand. From behind him he could see Mags appearing from behind the lockers with a rifle in her hands. Rolling up a big wad of mucus in his throat he waited till just after Mags had made her entrance and spit the wad of snot directly into the Jem'Hadars eye. Bu'bak turned sharply around to face the human woman who was yelling at him when the human maggot spat in his face. That was an unheard of insult! Those tiny, weak whiners ... never giving a good fight ... always hiding, cowering. His rage and his instincts to survive took control of his muscles and without a second wasted he threw the injured marine towards the woman with the rifle. Mags fired, but the shot went wide which was lucky under the circumstances. She sprang sideways as johns body came came hurtling towards her but wasn't quite fast enough and was knocked forward, the rifle sliding across the floor from her outstretched hand. RIco let out a yelp as he tumbled into Mags's body. As the two crashed to the ground Rico immediately scurried towards the dropped rifle as it slid across the floor. Seeing the effort the humans did to reached for their weapons Bu'bak leaped forward to catch the two before they could shoot again. It was impossible that just two humans could be a match for a Jem'hard Fifth and Bu'bak laughed loudly as he hurled himself at the two human lying on the floor. {Do prdele!} he thought in the first fragment of a second when he realised that he was just too slow. The blood covered marine GOT his rifle. Rico managed to beat the Jem'Hadar to the rifle and without any hesitation he pulled the trigger. "Beg for this", he grunted as the phaser blast hit its target square in the chest as three more security guards appeared in the doorway and opened fire. Unfortunately one of the shots missed wide left and hit Mags, who had been laying on the ground behind the Jem'hadar. * {Sakr...} was the last thought of the Jem'hadar Fifth before his body was disintegrated ... Mags saw the three security men arrive in the door way, heard the rifle John held fire close to her, heard people shouting and felt in a moment of extreme pain, the phaser burn into her own body. As the Jem'Hadar disintegrated before his eyes Rico dropped his rifle and pushed his way over to Mags and felt her pulse. She was dead. -=/-\=- End Log -=/-\=- Fifth Bu'bak Jem'Hadar Warrior (Played by the Cap'n) Petty Officer 2nd Class Mags Henderson Security (Played by the ships Number One) Petty Officer 3rd Class Johnny "No Hands" Rico Security (Played by Cortez)
