Luke had intercept the com link call. {I'll find the witch. Not a one of
them will escape me.} "Just stay put and I'll find him," he replied. He looked
over his shoulder and around the control room before yelling a name.
"Dregg, find that person," Luke demanded as he pointed to a small blip on a
map of the base, "and take them to the brig."
The tall Klingon looked at Luke and nodded. For some odd reason he didn't
feel like questioning him today about any of his orders.

Athena looked at the metallic instrument in her hand and nodded as she
frowned. The message didn't make sense in some way. She cuddle with her blanket as
she thought about it. {Why stay put? How hard is it to find a colonel?}
The longer Athena thought about the words of the stranger the more uneasy she
became. She felt as though she were being trapped. The feeling spurred her to
move on. She poked the center of the badge again as she stuffed it back in
her pocket making it emit another small chirp. Dragging her blanket along
behind, she started moving down the dark corridors.
Dregg stepped off the lift and started around the corner into a darkened
corridor. Athena was nearing a lighted area, when a feeling of danger surrounded
her. She crouched down and flattened herself against the wall before hiding
under the dark blue of the blanket. Something bumped into her and she heard a
hiss followed by a thump. She quickly crawled into the lighted area around
the corner and then mad a dash for the lift. Dregg looked around in the
darkness but saw nothing. He stood up slowly trying to figure out how he fell over
his own two feet. As he slowly moved along the corridor to the spot Luke had
indicated.
Dregg came to the spot indicated on the map Skywalker had shown him but no
one was there. Dregg was mad and he was willing to squash Skywalker for sending
him on a fool's errand.

The lift door hissed open and Dregg bellowed, "Luke, you fool!! There was
nobody at the coordinates you sent me to." Dregg took a thunderous step toward
Luke with every word he said next, "I ought to rip you apart limb from limb."
Luke backed up into his console, "Wait maybe the little witch moved." He
spun around and started and looked at the map he had called up. {What was that
signature? I can't let anyone escape. If even a one of them escapes that
would be failure.} He punched a few buttons on his console and a small lighted
blip began to flash at him. "Look," he screamed, "there she's there." Luke had
no sooner pointed to the new location when it zipped of and started flashing
in a new location. {No one moves that fast.}
Dregg looked at Luke, "That can't be right look how fast it moves."
Luke turned on Dregg; giving the impression of a kitten about ready to attack
a giant. "It is right." Luke's whole attitude was one of death for
disobedience and Dregg could see it written on his ghastly white wrinkleless face.
=/\= Meanwhile =/\=
Athena sat unobserved on the floor of the lift with her blanket over her
head. She decided to pretend she was invisible and so far she had been. She felt
the lift move up and down and this way and that. She was feeling hot and
confused and she sensed several different strong emotions with each ride she
unknowingly took on the lift.
She finally peeked out of the blanket when she sensed a calming force
surrounding her. She looked up and vaguely remembered the figure that stood in the
lift. Athena smiled and took the metal object out of her pocket. She
carefully and without notice hooked the badge to a pant leg. "Shhh...Harvey," she
whispered and covered back up.
