The metal band, fitted tight under Rangis jaw, was making it
difficult for her to breath. The bands restraining her
ankles and wrists were just as tight and made movement
impossible.

The guard who had pushed the trolley forward so that she had
a clear view of the instruments upon it, seemed amused by
her discomfort and although she had at first focused
attention on them and the threat that they held, that had
quickly passed under the need to breath.

The guard stood in front of her and leaned forward, tilting
his head to one side in an exaggerated motion of listening.
" What did you say?" he asked slowly looking at her sideways
on. " Speak up..I cannot hear you."

Rangi could not answer him and he knew it but he merely
sneered at her attempts to gain air.
The second guard moved closer and frowned.
" She's not breathing well" he said in Rhiannsu.

" So?" his companion replied " What of it?..you think she's
here to enjoy herself?"

"You fool." the other guard responded " Do you want her to
die here?..do you want to explain it? She is a valuable
prisoner..more so than the others..are you going to take the
blame when she dies in this chair?"

He didnt wait for an answer but moved quickly forward,
pushing his colleague out of the way and hastily fumbled
with the clasp of the band around her neck until it finally
sprang apart.

Rangis head fell forward and she began coughing and choking
in her efforts to gain enough air, eventually managing to do
so and looking up at her tormentors as her breathing slowed
to normal.

"Poor little creature." the first guard said with false
sympathy.
He reached out and ran a finger along her lower jaw line.

Rangi recoiled from his touch by pressing her head back
against the headrest where it had been only moments before.

" Don't touch me." she warned, feeling the restraints bit
further into her wrists when she tried to move.

" And don't tell me what to do" he responded harshly
gripping her chin in his fingers.

"Khoal !!"

He turned quickly at the same time as the second guard said
his name for there were sounds of running feet outside and
then shouts and the sound of phaser fire.
Both guards headed for the doorway and the one named Khoal
ran out.

Rangi leaned forward as the sounds of fire grew closer but
although she twisted around as best as she could, her view
was limited to the wall.

====== Bridge, USS Qashqai ======

Shane was taken by surprise about the announced call. Harker
was a traitor to the Federation, he was ex-black ops who
defected to the Romulan Empire and was responsible for the
death of several officers under Shane's command. Things
went personal between the two men.

Looking at his OPS officer, Shane said: "Try to track down
the location of this transmission. But be careful not to
give our position away. Is this call routed through
UNITY?"

The ops officer nodded: "Yes, the signal comes from UNITY,
through the security broadband"

Shane nodded. "On screen" he said finally.

"Commodore Guzman," Nicolas greeted his old nemesis with an
insufferable grin. "I hope I have not caught you off-guard."

"Mr. Harker" Shane said, "I can not say that it is a
pleasant surprise, but a surprise is it none-the-less.
What's on your mind?"

"I have something you want, Guzman," Harker replied. He
looked to the side and held out his arm, motion with his
hand for someone to come nearer. A moment later Martin
appeared on the screen. "Come Martin, come say hello to your
daddy. Tell him how much fun we've bee having."

Shane had to stop himself as he was about to burst out in
anger. This man had his son and Rangi most probably as well
in his hand and dared to threat them … maybe worse. He bit
his tongue … and counted till 5 before saying: "Hi,
Martin my boy. Daddy is finally here to bring you home.
Don't worry, everything will be all right". Looking back
at Harker he asked coldly: "So … what do you want,
Harker?"

"Let me make it plain and simple. You want Martin, and I
want you," Nicolas said, getting down to business. "We meet,
you come aboard my ship and Martin goes safely aboard yours.
Once that happens, I'll let Rangi go. She won't be harmed...
too much."

Shane had to bite his tongue once again. It was obvious that
Harker was playing cat and mice with him, trying to make him
act impulsive, playing the "I-have-harmed-your-beloved"
card. "I do not trust you Harker and I will not come on
board your ship. I am stupid enough to meet you somewhere,
but not stupid enough to come on board your ship. What about
meeting on board my ship?"

Harker just laughed. "I've sent you the location of our
rendezvous. It's not encrypted, but only you would recognize
it. You've been there before... in another universe."

Shane looked a bit puzzled for a moment before realizing
what is Harker hinting at. It was several years back during
the X!Chi mission where Shane disappeared through a
multidimensional rift and experienced a life in an alternate
dimension. He returned only hours later … but long years
passed where Shane was. He nodded: "I understand"

"Oh, and tell the good people at Unity that they should
really change their communication codes," he smirked. "It's
getting too easy now." And then the channel closed.

Shane slammed his hand console with his fist and cursed.
Harker played a foul game … but he had all the good cards
in his hands. Shane could do little then obey and play
along. Looking at the message from Harker, Shane fastly
extracted the rendezvous coordinates and passed them to
helm.

"Set the course, maximal warp" he commanded.

[USS Chimera] SD240906.19 Personal Log - MCapt COps Jade Reese - "Recovering"

[Personal Quarters, USS Chimera]

After being released from sickbay Jade went straight to her quarters she was still exhausted from dealing with the radiation poisoning from the nebula because of of being half human and half El-Aurian the radiation effected her differently. Luckily the rash was gone but she was still dealing with the side effects of the drugs and the radiation. "Captain sorry to bother you but would it be OK if I stopped by?" Vaughn said trying to micromanage stuff.

Sighing Jade knew that Ops was in good hands with Vaughn but he for most of his career he's been AOps or Deputy COps and hasn't had the opportunity to run his own department. "Sure Vaughn." Jade said sounding tried but knew that Vaughn wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

"Alright on my way." Vaughn said then cutting the COMM and walking out of the ODCC and to the nearest turbolift with a PADD with what was going on in Cargo Bay 1 with the bio material. Vaughn's real reason for stopping by was to see how the MCapt was doing. Couple of minuets later Vaughn was in front of Jade's quarters he hit the chime and waited to be invited in.

Jade heard the chime but she didn't get up off of the couch that she was laying on, "come in." Jade shouted while still laying on the couch reading over some reports that Vargas had sent up.

The door slid open and Vaughn stepped into Jade's quarters, "ma'am?" Vaughn said not realizing that Jade was laying down on the couch.

"In here Vaughn." Jade said raising her arm up to show that she was on the couch she slowly sat up so it would be a more formal meeting. "How are things in the ODCC today?" Jade asked as Vaughn took a seat in one of the chairs.

"Good." Vaughn said sliding some PADDs over to her, "these are from the last day shift the night shifts reports are being compiled right now." Vaughn said looking at his chief, "I also wanted to come down and see how you're doing?" Vaughn said knowing how she is after serving under her on the USS Quassar.

"I'm fine I just need some time off to recover." Jade said picking up the PADDs and quickly skimming them and smiling, "I see that you've become more comfortable with running the department." Jade said.

Returning the smile, "I'm getting used to it." Vaughn said glad to continue serving under her in the Ops department, "well I'll let you rest some more and also we're heading back to UNITY." Vaughn said glad to be getting away from this nebula it was an Ops nightmare as it was probably the same with all the other departments.

"Alright I should be back to duty by then." Jade said smiling and standing up to walk Vaughn to the door. With that Vaughn headed back to the ridge to take his post while Jade headed back to the couch to get take a little nap and then throughly read the reports.

=/\= USS Chimera - Main Engineering =/\=

Gustav was working in main engineering on the custom designed warp
burst missile that Major Xerxes had asked him to design and make, with
everything that has happened lately the missile was put on the back
burner but now with the ship back at unity he could get the order
finished.

He and his team of six engineers were working away on the miniature
warp core that was based on a modernized version of the Phoenixes
design, as it was very simple, easy to construct and make very small
and with some modifications could go to warp five easily.

Everything seemed to be going well, which is quite unusual for the
Chimera, as something usually happens to spoil a nice quite day,
lately mainly Romulans, he was just finishing the final adjustments to
the missile he was working on when an alarm went off in engineering
and the computers voice could be heard all over entire ship.

[Warning warp core breach detected in main engineering…. Evacuate immediately].

Gustav jumped up from where he was working and ran to where there was
a frantic engineer standing, as he approached he yelled out "WHAT F***
IS HAPPENING"

He didn't have time for the frantic man time to answer before Gustav's
com badge went off.

+Mr. Kroitzer, + the Captain's voice shouted through Gustav's com
badge, +what the hell just happened? +

+One of my engineers was working on one of Xerxes Missiles when he
somehow ruptured the antimatter containment+ he said while removing
the cylinder that held the antimatter.

+ Take care of it; I'm on my way. +

Gustav grabbed the engineers com badge and contacted the transporter
room using it.

+Gustav to transporter room lock onto this signal and in 5 seconds
beam it as far away from the ship and station as you possibly can+.

Gustav attached the badge to the cylinder and within a couple of
seconds was enveloped in a shower of blue, and a few seconds after
that where was a mild jolt that could be felt through the ship as a
blast shockwave passed.

Relived that the potential danger to the ship and station had been
averted Gustav turned his attention and anger to the engineer
responsible, Ensign Krebore.

Signaling to the Ensign to follow him to his office Gustav dropped his
normally calm demeanour and let rip "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?"

Surprised at Gustav's rage the half human half cardassian tried to
explain "I… I… I was using the plasma welder to seal up the radiation
shielding when I had accidentally went through the…"

"Stop right there Ensign what were you doing using a plasma welder on
such a sensitive area, any first year cadet knows you would use a to
part welding compound".

"I was just trying to say time… the compound takes hours to finish the
weld" Krebore said trying to defend him self.

"And at the same time you both the ship and the station in danger,
just to save a couple of hours".

Walking away and taking a beep breath to try to calm down Gustav
started speaking again "I'm afraid I'm going to have to put you on 3
weeks suspension and also have to put this incident on your permanent
record during that time I want you to think about how close you came
to killing us all… I also want you to reread Montgomery Scotts basics
in engineering, you're dismissed Ensign".

"But Si…"

"You're dismissed" Gustav said in a firm tone.

Gustav turned to his replicator and asked "a mug of strong sweet
English tea", taking his mug of tea he sat down to properly calm
himself before the Captain arrived to find out what exactly happened.
