===== Security area, Romulan Warbird ===== "I hate dealing with humans ... such ugly creatures." said Kirkland obviously enjoying the role as a romulan. The young guard nodded: "Indeed. I don't care how lustful you get ... you don't want to sleep with one of those. Your ..." he coughed: "will fall off." Kirkland smiled and laughed, as Commander Guzman dismissed the guard. "We are to interrogate the prisoner and you lack the clearance to be present for that." The guard nodded and walked away, matter of factly. Kirkland looked around, to make sure that they hadn't been detected. "It's all clear, Commander." Kirkland looked around, waiting for the rest of the away team to enter the cell. Shane noded towards the CEO. Kirkland was only shortly an senior officer but he already appeared to be a good choice. Shane only hoped that this wouldnt be his (and anyone else's) last mission. Shane motioned to the ODA 'romulans' ... all of them moved to an another corner and taken a strategically position to counter any nasty surprises. Together with MaiKai Shane walked over to the cell where Athena was held in. There was a chance that Athena would use some of her 'telekinetic' tricks and try to hurt her 'captors' so Shane approached the the cell carefully. Beeing only a meter away from the entrance he said quietly: "Athena ... its me, please do no trics now ..." Another side of the INTEL game was the fact that Athena could think that this all could be a trick. The Romulans could imitate Shane's voice easily and Shane's team could consist of REAL romulans ... with the intentions to mine for informations from her. Beeing a part of any Intel service in the universe meaned that you can trust NOONE. There was no time to loose, anytime could a security team return to their HQ and Shane doubted that any higher ranking officer would belive his story like the young romulan ensign did. He walked straightly forward and entered the cell. There ... on a small sofa Athena was sitting, wearing a strange facial expression. For a moment Shane hesistated ... Athena looked to be in some sort of transe or under the effect of some drugs. "Athena ... are you all right?" Shane asked. Athena turned her head slowly into Shane's direction but did no reply. Shane looked behind him and said: "Doctor" towards Mai. MaiKai entered the cell as well and she knew what she was meant to do. She pulled out her medical scanner and opened it. Starting a scan, the tricoder 's tiny lights went alive. After a moment she said: "Its definitely LT. Wellington sir, she looks to be all right, but I am detecting exremly high levels of several neurotransmittors. If she's under any drug effect I cant say by now ..." Shane noded: "Will she walk with us?" Mai shrugged slightly: "I dont know sir, But i doubt that. Maybe if two of the guys here will help her, she might be able to walk ..." Shane scratched his chin. His man were sure not in need of an burden like a drugged counselor, but there was no other alternative. Shane looked backwarda again and said: "Kirkland and Ponteroso, you two will help the counselor to come with us. Be gentle guys". ====== 5 minutes later, some corridor ===== Shane scanned the small cargo room to their left and noded. "Inside" he barked. His team moved inside with the two rear guarding ODA 'romulans' as last. Shane looked at Athena. During the moving from the security area till here, the two man had to help her a bit to keep her walking ... she was still under the drugs effect. Looking at the nearby wall computer pannel he said: "While the ship is cloacked there is no way how to beam ourself over to the Chimera. We dont know the reason for the cloaking nor how long will it last." Grining slightly at Kirkland he asked: "Any volunteer who will try to get those informations from the computer?" ===== End of log ==== Cmdr. Shane Guzman XO/ACO USS Chimera
