== [ Kzenti Research Facility ] ==== Jack was at the back, Williams had point and Cortez, a recent addition to the ODA was behind him. As they moved through the vent Jack came to a halt as everyone in front of him did and a message came relayed back. Williams proposed that Walsh take half the men around and into the operations centre whilst Garry would take the other half and create a diversion outside of the room to draw attention away from Jacks team. It was textbook, but luckily the Kzenti didn't have the Special Forces textbook, which would undoubtedly work in their favour. Jack passed his approval down the line, after all he had the final say in such matters. Once they were good to go Garry Cortez and the rest carried on and Jack took his men on an alternate route around the Kzenti and hopefully to a Mission Ops Control Center where they might actually be able to find out what this place had to offer them and why the SSF actually sent them here. They moved quickly but at with caution, vents like this had a tendency to make noise and give away your position to anyone who happened to be passing by below. as they came around they found themselves looking down on the Kzenti who were in the room. Two scientists and a couple of soldiers. Jack held his breath as he waited. "Come on Petty Officer." Walsh mussed, waiting for Garry's diversion, and soon enough it came, as he thought he heard a vent collapse out in the main hall and he could only hope that Garry hadn't just killed himself. Soon enough the sound of phaser fire filled Jacks ears and everyone bar two scientists piled out of the room. He waited a moment for the door to close before he took out a laser torch and began to cut away quietly at the holdings on the vent hatch. Once they were cut he held the mesh in his hands so it didn't fall and used his hands to signal to the first man to drop down and take out the first Kzenti Scientist. Two seconds later he lifted the hatch and Kurtis took out his knife and dropped down placing the knife in the back of the skull of the scientist, something that he had obviously picked up from earlier but to date the head was their weakness and it was the most effective and silent method of killing them. As soon as he had landed the blow the second scientist put his fist in Kurtis' face, sending him flying into a rack of glass and chemicals. The rest of the men, jumped down and fired many shots into the Kzenti scientist. Jack joined them and pulled his pulse pistol. "Concentrate your fire!!" Jack barked as they all fired heavily into the scientists abdomen, which wasn't as well armoured as the soldiers, and the concentrated fire of the team took him down. "Alright" Jack stood holstering the pistol on his leg and moving over to the console. "We don't have long, set up a bottle neck with those tables, if anyone comes in they'll have to come in that way, you guys do the same as before, concentrated fire gets them. He took out his tricorder and placed it atop of the console, starting an interface. Once it was set up he was amazed at the lack of restrictive protocols set up, but then he figured that was arrogance on the Kzenti part, assuming nobody would make their way past the defences. Scratching his head he reviewed what the tricorder was telling him. The most active program they had running as a control setup for a Romulan Warbird, the markings or rather lack of markings were consistent with the one that had attacked the Chimera earlier. The bastards had attacked the Chimera, but why when we were here on a peace mission? Unless they needed the Chimera at half mast for some kind of plan? He read on. This station was assigned to the development and study of technology in regards to aggressive expansion of the Kzenti empire. They had detailed scans of the Chimera, Romulan warbird, Vulcan Ships, Ferengi, Klingon, to name a few. It looked as if the Kzenti were projecting for a full scale intergalactic war. He downloaded all the information he could into the tricorder becoming increasingly aware of the time. Thankfully nobody had come in and Jack pulled his pulse pistol as he folded up the tricorder and made his way towards the door. As it opened he looked down the hall and saw Garry leaning into a room. "Guess he miscalculated the room" he sprinted out of the doorway with the other ODA members. Cortez was standing with him and a phaser in his hand and a few decimated Kzenti Soldiers around him. Reaching the doorway he saw that there were two kzenti scientists in the room, well one as Cortez squeezed off another shot sending the Kzenti flying to one side of the room, the guys arm to the other side. "Hold up Private" Jack barked as he moved into the room. "What are you bastards doing to the Chimera?" Jack spat slightly, he was shouting so loud at the Kzenti scientist. It said nothing. "Listen to me, two of your buddies are laying dead next door. I know you're less armoured than your Military buddies. And the Private over there has a modified weapon which will kill you easily. I only have to say the word and you'll wake up dead" Nothing. "Private!" Jack called out. "Alright alright. We're projecting a Brain Control device at the Chimera and the Warbird, any telepathic beings are being influenced by us. We're experimenting in using them as sleeper agents in a build up to an invasion." "How do I shut it down?" "I'll never tell!!!" the Kzenti screamed as he lunged at Jack, planting a punch right on his Jaw sending him flying. He may have been a scientist but he was bloody strong. Soon after Cortez fired a shot into the kzenti's back, severing the spinal cord and sending him to the floor. "Medic!" Jack barked as he looked at Williams laying motionless. The Med Spec came running in from the hall where the rest of the ODA had set up a perimeter. She dropped down and began to scan the Ops Spec. "He's alive, Captain." "Get up awake and do what you can. We're going to meet up with the other team and then we're going to blow this damn rock." === MCaptain Jack Walsh ODA Commander USS Chimera, SSF
