Captive Audience of the Setting Sun - A log written by Khre’Riov L’haiy Ira-Rexan t’Vatrix and S’anra (played by Enarrain Laehval t’Temarr) A dim light shone through the slatted window across the room as she opened her heavily lidded eyes, na just yet ready to fully awaken. Her head heavy with the strong sedative she had been given, and as she tried to sit up, she found herself disoriented and unsure. L’haiy finally was able to press herself upright, while she tried to determine just where this place was and why she was here. She looked down at the plain brown robes she had been wearing, na seeing either the familiar Galae uniform, nor the casual robes she had lately favored wearing about the S’Vatrix compound. Slowly coming back to her thoughts were the remainder of her crew, those that had tried to hide themselves in these common clothes to help avoid detection, and yet, had failed to do so. All she remembered was t’Mahren pressing the hypospray to her neck before she could protest that she was na ready to go through that again. She had thought the woman only intended to bind her hands, but na this! Panic set into her as the sedative had taken hold, and yet she had been powerless to do anything about it. As it were, she had just regained her memories from her time of capture at the hands of Deihu tr’Tronius’s nephew tr’Gilis. Sadistic little monster that he was, he had outright tortured and violated her to the point that her mind had retreated into her past, to a time when she was strong and had no encumbrances and could fend for herself. Not even her own friend and maenak t’Ksa, nor the kheinsa tr’Aieme had been able to bring her fully back. It had taken being smuggled back to the homeworld, ever so briefly, to help her find enough of herself to regain her current memories and rejoin her ship. Having had to face telling Var’lon and telling him all that had occurred had been her greatest fear, a fear that he’d hold it against her for na being stronger and fighting back better, especially as she had known she would be flying into a trap. She should have known better, and felt his pent up rage, and anger that he had na been able to help her once again. She had spent much of her short time with him, weeping upon his shoulder and just being held, feeling his tears on her face as well. The urge to remain there with her bondmate and son had been so strong, but once things had been thoroughly discussed, he then divulged some of the information he had collected during her time away, and some of his own fears and suspicions about Proconsul tr’Mrek. Mainly that tr’Mrek had been the one to suggest that she be sent away, the one that gave the Preator the catastrophic plan and along with Tal Shiar head tr’Vren, they had whispered lies and falsehoods to the Preator about Var’lon’s loyalty. Some of this he had found out from the Preator himself, during an evening meeting after she had disappeared over drinks while discussing troop deployments. It had been io of tr'Mrek's younger sons that had help lead the thwarted mutiny aboard the Talon about a year ago. Both she and Var'lon had past history with House S'Mrek, and none of it menkha. However; they had both known in their hearts that it would held against them, damaging careers and their family standing if she were to stay and if any knew she had been here. Besides, she had an obligation to see her crew through this mess and returned home. At the very least, to Laehval, who had taken command of Talon and rescued her from her captors. As she regained more of her wits, she looked around the small austere room, noting that its sole use was as a functional space for sleeping or keeping someone confined in what was at least a small step up from the standard br’tehh cell, and even had a tiny ‘fresher room just to the side. She was indeed th’ann, but at least it seemed that she had been given guest right, due to her rank. But where were the others? She noted the slatted windows again, that there was the slight shimmer of a force field around the frame, and she was certain that she was hearing a similar vibration coming from the area where the door was. Na doubt, if she made to open that door, she would find out the difficult way to leave it be. By the bed there was a small metal cup of water, and a small plate that held a few pieces of fruit and cheese. First instincts were na to try any of it, but then realizing if whoever her captors were, they could have drugged or poisoned her as she slept. There was na reason to let her wake and then dose her through the drink or food. She thought about trying some for a siuren, but only a siuren, as the whole idea had left her stomach unsettled, barely able to tamp down the fear of being unable to defend herself yet again while drugged. Just at the thought of it, she felt as if she needed to retch and stood, taking a few staggering steps over to the ‘fresher and in no time, had emptied the contents of her stomach into the wash basin, along with a few empty attempts to wretch further, only yielding the bitter taste of bile and making her throat sore. She knew part of it was due to fear, but the heavy dose of sedative in her system had also reacted upon the stomach nerves, and though she felt miserable, she felt all the better for having emptied her stomach. She rinsed the bowl out, and then splashed fresh cold water on her face and neck trying to help clear her head so that she would be ready for whatever was to become of her today. She had na much choice of what else to do. There was the bed, the small side table with the glass and plate, and the ‘fresher unit. Na much here to try to fashion a weapon out of, but she would keep in mind her options as she picked up the glass and took a sip of the tepid water, but decided against trying to eat for the moment, as she had been sure she would na be able to keep it down just yet. She just hoped that t’Mahren had been able to fool those that had come for them, or that Laehval had been at least able to escape and get some of the crew out as well. L’haiy walked back over to the bed and took a seat on the edge and watched out the window as the sun dipped down towards the mountains in the distance as night slowly approached. The orange light slowly dimming as dusk took hold. As the Sun’s light was extinguished, she was certain that her own, would surely follow close behind. A short while after sunset, the forcefield at the front door deactivated long enough to allow a young woman access. She entered the room alone carrying a covered tray and dressed in dark, worn clothing. She paused as she passed the refresher, wrinkling her nose at the smell of sick. Frowning, she turned toward L’haiy and offered a shallow bow. “I am sorry that those sedatives made you ill, lhhei. I see that au have na eaten. Do au have a headache? Still feeling sick to your stomach?” Taking a wary look at the woman as she entered, and hearing the field go back up behind her as she had entered, L’haiy quietly assessed her a moment before speaking, na sure if this was a test, a way to ferret information from her or just a young servant being polite. “Ie, I am na at my best. Being drugged usually does that to me. Something that has been happening all too often of late. Who are au? And what do au want?” “I am S'anra, maenak’s dishern in service to tr’Gralik. I have brought au something to counteract the sedative and help settle your stomach, as well as food that might sit better with au.” She placed the tray on the table next to the bed, scooting over the food already there. “Why would he care if I felt well or na? Am I na his th’ann?” still a bit suspicious of the woman, but eyeing the tray she had brought, her now empty stomach starting to protest. “He does na, but I do,” she replied. “And fortunately for me, he insists that au remain alive so that he can interrogate au. Interrogations go poorly if the subject is na in their right mind or weak from illness.” She grimaced. “A hard fact to hear, but it is true.” Removing the cover from the tray, she set it aside to reveal a bowl of soup, freshly baked bread, and a subdermal injector. She lifted the injector and primed it for the correct dosage, but looked to t’Vatrix before dosing her. “Will au allow me to administer this? I could have the guards hold au down and force it upon au, but I would rather au cooperate, for your own safety.” “As I had earlier assessed about the food and drink, had au wished to poison or drug me, au could have easily done so while I was passed out. Besides, what choice do I really have. I either let au do it, or au will force me to. I’d rather na be manhandled by au dheno. Do what au must,” trying to put a brave face, but again, inwardly terrified that this was all going to go badly very fast. She stiffened as he woman approached with the device, forcing herself to keep her eyes open, and convincing herself na to try to grab it from her either. It would surely bring the dheno as well. “Get on with it, before …..,” and leaves the words unsaid. “A wise choice.” She took a step forward and pressed the device to her neck. It hissed as it injected the medication, but didn’t hurt. She tucked the injector into her pocket and moved back, waving a hand at the soup bowl nearby. “I’ve been told to wait while au eat to ensure that au do.” The medicine didn’t take long to work. It began to counteract the headache and slight queasiness in her stomach almost immediately. S’anra took a seat at the only chair in the room, resting her hands in her lap. “So I presume that I’ll be seeing au after each of my interrogations then, getting me back up for another round of needless torture? I can tell au qiuu of what I know of right now. I know nothing. I’ve left my bondmate’s work and secrets to him; while I was home, I purposely distanced myself from it to quell the rumors that I had been unduly influencing him, and the fact that I’ve been away for months per the Preator’s direct orders, searching first for my Daise Maenak, and then off captured myself. I’ve na been privy to my bondmate’s work or information. So they can ask and push me to my endurance, but they will know no more than I can tell them of what I do know, which would mainly consist of how many diapers a day I had been using before I was forced into this farce of a mission,” she looked back defiantly at the woman. S’anra shook her head. “Perhaps it sounds harsh, but I do na care what au do or do na know. I am na the one keeping au prisoner. I am here because I must be. Certainly na because I wish to be.” She threw a disgusted look at the door, though it was closed and there was no sign of the guards outside. “I was acquired by tr’Gralik to serve him and his agents, provide medical care to the injured or wounded, and to keep his prisoners alive. I do what I must to ensure that he does na decide he na longer needs my services. I am here to watch au eat, na to get information on the location of your bondmate. Or your child.” That got her attention back to the woman. This S’anra obviously knew who she was then, or else she would na have added that last bit. “What do au know of them, that au casually toss out that threat? For that matter, if au are here just to keep the th’ann alive, how would au know who I am?” One shoulder lifted in a half shrug. “I have the freedom of the estate. I am na a prisoner, nor one of their inner circle, but something else entirely. Men like tr’Gralik often overlook servants, so long as they do their jobs efficiently. I know who au are because I hear things. I know what they want from au. It does na matter to them that au claim to know nothing. They will still ask the questions.” “So it seems au have enough medical training that au were sought out to work for them, so au must have been trusted and working at a level of enough importance to be chosen to oversee my care. Whom did au serve before coming into his service?” Starting to eye the soup, but also knowing if she were to finish it too fast, this interview would soon be over. “I worked in the government center in the maenak’s office and have for several years. This is my village. I was born and raised in this area.” She didn’t seem to be rushing her to eat. Perhaps she wanted to prolong the conversation as well. “What have au heard of the others that I had been taken with? Have they been brought here as well? My executive officer, Laehval t’Temarr was amongst them, have au seen her?” This woman had to have worked for Laehval’s father, though perhaps na directly, but still in the organizational chart; and she could tell that she had been stalling. Perhaps she would find out more from her before she finished her soup, as she picked up the bowl and absently swirled the contents with her spoon. “They are na being held here. That much I know. They did mention prisoners that were held in the detention level of the center, but I can na tell au if they are your crew members.” One eyebrow quirked. “Temarr is a name I know well. tr’Temarr is our city magistrate, but I did na know he had a relative in Galae. Is she related?” She noted that the woman spoke of the di’ranov, and na the wretched excuse of a woman that was the ri’anov. Perhaps she too held no jol for that io as well. “Ie, she is his daughter, a woman I have come to greatly respect.” This did na please her that she had been separated from the others, as it would make it difficult to find them if she were able to escape, or have them try to find her if they happened to get free. “His daughter?” S’anra seemed truly surprised. “I know that he has other children, mostly off world, but na a daughter in Galae.” She looked thoughtful and then smiled. “That must drive his bondmate crazy. That woman loathes all things Galae and has been io of the Tal’Shiar’s biggest supporters since they took over the village. I have heard that she’s informed them of many Galae sympathizers in the area and has been personally responsible for the imprisonment of her own bondmate and his aides. Luckily, I have na Galae ties to incriminate me.” L’haiy almost dropped the spoon with which she had been pushing the broth around with, at mention of the elder t’Temarr woman, but also that the woman had just let her know that there were Galae sympathizers hrrau the area, information that could be of great use. “Hold a siuren, are au telling me that she had her own bondmate arrested, because,” she trailed off a siuren. “I knew she was a spiteful excuse for taking up valuable breathing space, but her own bondmate?” L’haiy could na get over the fact that this woman had so fully turned against her own, while similarly feeling guilt upon herself, as she had been the one that had angered the woman so in her own home, added insult by having witnessed her bondmate deliver a well deserved slap to the woman’s shocked self, and had the temerity to suggest that Laehval’s di’ranov even visit with the nearly yy’a woman while she was in the hospital. Let alone having promoted Laehval to the rank of Ennarain. S’anra scowled. “Ie, she did, and with little reason. Magistrate t’Temarr was well liked in the village by most everyone, but he was outspoken against the Tal’Shiar and insisted that the Galae had nothing to do with the attempt on the Praetor’s life. He and everyone that favored the Galae were rounded up for interrogation and imprisonment. They have been searching for the location of hidden Galae factions and ranking officers ever since the chaos began. Apparently, there was some sort of disagreement between them, a rift in House Temarr, and she used his views as an excuse to rid herself of him.” “Why that miserable fvai!!! If Laehval does na get to her first, I surely will. She may have cost a great many loyal Rihans their lives, and all for what? A misguided sense of purpose and unfounded hatred. Hatred that is truly misplaced and used to hide her own guilt. But wait, you mentioned an attempt on the Praetor’s life? Can au tell me more? What has happened? Is he still alive? And why is Galae implicated in this?” Half-wishing if it had been someone in Galae, that she herself had been wanting to go to beat the veruul of a Fvillah herself for having sent her away from her family in the first place. S’anra shook her head. “Unfortunately na. Na io knows if he is alive. The Tal’Shiar are na sharing. I have gotten the feeling that they may na know themselves… at least the ios here do na. I did hear that a Galae officer, io very high up… a Daise’Khre’Riov?... that he was implicated in an assassination attempt on the Praetor and they are currently searching for him. Many deihu are dead or wounded. There are rumors of a biological agent unleashed on the Praetorial compound.” This time she almost dropped the entire bowl and its contents to the floor and had to reach a shaking hand to set it down on the tray before she ended up wearing it. She had known her bondmate had been furious that the man had torn her away from their home and their son to send her on a suicide mission, but there was na way, that after going along with the veruulish plan in the first place, that he would have ever endangered their son over the futher insult to her person. Var’lon was much too smart to make any type of stupid move against the Praetor, even though the man was a veruul, and relied too much upon other veruuls for his information, namely tr’Vren and tr’Mrek. If Var’lon had been the one to do this, he would have made sure that both Val’ron and herself had been safely away first. Though, na sooner had she been sent back to Talon, had the Teronix torn away at maximum warp in response to a priority message and headed back towards the homeworld. She had known immediately something had been wrong when they had so suddenly left, but na to this magnitude. Oh Elements, what if the things she had told him had set him off, set him off so angrily that he was looking for retribution for what had been done to her. Elements say it was na so! “The Daise’Khre’Riov au say?” as she tried desperately to keep her voice neutral and swallowing hard so as na give up her fear to the woman, “ Was he na io of the Praetor’s top advisors? And who in their right mind would release a biological agent in the capitol? What of the Deihu? ” Her mind raced with the new information, having more questions to ask and na receiving any answers just yet. It could na have been Var’lon, could it? It made no sense, if he wanted to yy’a the Praetor, he could have just pulled an ie’yakk and done so months ago before she had been deployed; the man’s own guard only half reported to him anyway, being loyal to tr’Vatrix whom was much more popular with the people anyway. Na, he had been biding his time, if she could take it, so could he. He’d never throw away an advantage to do something like this? He was too much of a strategist to do so. They were interrupted by someone banging on the door. S’anra jerked and glared in its direction. She shook her head as she looked back. “Unfortunately, I can na say more. I must go. Eat a few bites so that I can say you have eaten without being a liar. If I linger any longer, we will both be punished.” Quickly picking up the bowl so as na to lose this new source of information, she quickly drank most of the cooled broth from the bowl and handed it back to the woman. “Hann’yyo for the medication, it was…..most helpful.” She nodded and took the bowl and tray, but left her with the fruit, cheese, and bread. “Eat more if au can. Au will need your strength for the trails ahead.” Sighing, she collected her things and turned toward the door, obviously conflicted about her duties. “If I am able, I will see au again. Perhaps with more information about what’s going on outside these walls. Menkha luck. Au will undoubtedly need it.” “Hann’yyo S’anra for au kindness, and the food,” and left unsaid, also the chilling information that she had just been given. She knew now, that she must find some way to slip free of her captors and make her way home to make sure her family was safe from harm. She watched dejectedly as the dheno gave her a sour look and re-secured the door.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51506.04 – Season 20 – No Easy Way Out Laehval continues to lead the crew and other th’ann, which included her father; through the secret labyrinth of tunnels towards what she hopes will be a feasible escape route for them. At least long enough to get away from where they were being held, and hopefully be able to find someone sympathetic to their cause or some other way of avoiding recapture. Still stinging from Koga’s betrayal, they all look at each other, a bit more warily, and yet also wonder what has become of the Khre’Riov?

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51505.28 - Season 20 - Minus Another.... The crew had managed to na only escape from their holding cell, but had been able to drop the force fields on the rest of the cells, releasing na only the rest of the crew, but several other th'ann that had been held hrrau the old br'tehh. However...now their number was another fewer. First had been t'Vatrix, her whereabouts unknown, but hopefully in the care of t'Mahren. But this last, was another heavy unexpected blow. Koga..... Koga had betrayed them, and now they must run. Taking the secret passageway that Laehval indicated, they narrowly escaped the guards, but now they had lost any element of surprise, they would be hunted.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51505.28 - Season 20 - Minus Another.... The crew had managed to na only escape from their holding cell, but had been able to drop the force fields on the rest of the cells, releasing na only the rest of the crew, but several other th'ann that had been held hrrau the old br'tehh. However...now their number was another fewer. First had been t'Vatrix, her whereabouts unknown, but hopefully in the care of t'Mahren. But this last, was another heavy unexpected blow. Koga..... Koga had betrayed them, and now they must run. Taking the secret passageway that Laehval indicated, they narrowly escaped the guards, but now they had lost any element of suprise, they would be hunted.

Muhahahaha.......... oh wait....didn't get a chance to get more out of her yet....darned inconvenient of them escaping when you wanted to ply more info!

USS Republic Mission Briefing 51505.25 - Season 23 Webbed Kwai, in her currently transformed and crazed mind wanting to escape the holodeck, is finally able to yell out, first locking down Holly, and then yells that she wants out, leading the holodeck arch to appear and the door to open. Immediately outside Will, Jax and Heather debating what to do about her in there, are surprised by the appearance of the viscous spider-wasp queen, who sprays them with a heavy coat of webbing, pinning them all motionless against the wall. Will tries to fire, but his hand is angled downward and is only shooting at the floor. Kwai retreats back into the holodeck to assess her next move. On the bridge, the red alert klaxons go off once the weapons fire has registered.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51505.21 - Season 20 -- BETRAYED!!! Following their capture, the crew of the Talon has been imprisoned in the old cells below the Pril'in Government Center. With a bit of luck, they took advantage of the deteriorating walls and managed to tunnel to freedom. Lerak has just deactivated all of the force fields to the cell entrances, setting both the crew and every other prisoner free. Now, all the crew has to do is escape through the maze of rooms and corridors of the sprawling multi-level center without being caught or killed by the Tal Shiar, all with the added burden of aiding their fellow prisoners, some of whom are seriously injured.

RES Talon Simlog 51504.30 The Talon Sim has been cancelled for tonight. We've unfortunately been defeated by a combination of the Avengers movie opening, work schedules and general malaise. Try again next week all. Good night.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 051505.07 - Season 20 As capture was imminent, and the crew was not in a defensible enough location to outlast and fend off the incoming troops, t'Mahren had suggested that as the Tal Shiar still thought she was one of their agents, that we try to convince them that she had already captured us, had been in the process of interrogation, and that we were her prisoners. The troops arriving however were under the command of Daise Enarrain tr'Gralik, who was head of security for this entire region. After accepting t'Mahren's story, t'Temarr, tr'Pexil, t'Aehjae, t'Ksa and S'Bien were all taken from the cold room they had been "being held in' and marched out to the waiting RAC's. t'Mahren, the sedated t'Vatrix, tr'Gralik and the still furious Au'riel t'Temarr followed in the third RAC. The captives all to be taken to the main security complex in the town that the crew had earlier scouted and held for questioning. t'Vatrix however, was not sent with them, instead taken to be held at tr'Gralik's residence along with t'Mahren to watch over her 'prize'. (No sim on 04/30)

RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 051504.23 - Season 20 Tal Shiar agents have captured the Talon's command crew at the vacation home of House Temarr. To keep them from being executed, t'Mahren is posing as a loyal member of the Tal Shiar under the false pretense that she has subdued the crew for the purposes of interrogation. Thus far, none of the crew have been injured by Tal Shiar hands. They are now being moved to transport ships, presumably to be taken back to one of the Tal Shiar's many secret facilities.

The Khre'Riov We've Been Looking For..... A Joint log between Eviess t'Mahren and Daise Enarrain tr'Gralik (Khre'Riov t'Rexan) and Au'riel t'Temarr (Laehval t'Temarr) The incursion had been a quick, controlled matter, much as he had planned once he had gotten word of a location where some traitors or Galae refuges may be found. First he had almost brushed off the t’Temarr woman, when she came complaining about alarms going off at io of her properties, swearing she knew it had to be traitorous scum or worse, her traitorous daughter from the Talon, or her crewmates must have been the ones to get by the security systems. However, moments later his son’s friend came to warn them that there had been some sort of ship found in the forest, and that his own son had not returned. He had sent his second, Major tr’Danov to investigate, who quickly replies that he had located tr’Gralik’s son unharmed, as well as the ground impressions of a small RAC nearby. As the t’Temarr woman was still in the foyer, he had her brought along, partly to shut her up, but also to help identify any of those found there. Ordering tr’Danov to bring two additional ships with troops to capture the intruders and provide transport back to the government center that he had been stuck with in this district. It seems the t’Temarr woman’s husband had been io of the previous magistrates, but she had reported him as having conspired with their daughter, knowing her location and not reporting it later. He had been…. removed and detained, and now tr’Gralik was in charge. As irritating as she was, she had been useful to him, and had been a font of information regarding many of the families in the region. He would keep her nearby, as her name was known and would provide some sort of continuity for the locals. He watched as the forces ahead of him had forcefully entered and spread out to clear the rooms of any threats, only to be met with a sharp tongue and wit of another Tal Shiar officer who was already on the premises, commenting about trying open the door before destroying it, much as the tTemarr woman was doing as well. He could well do without her shrieking before he had a few drinks in him. Hearing more commotion downstairs, tr’Gralik motioned to tr’Danov to handle it, while he saw to these two, when the woman who had been his best informant shouldered her way in between the Tal Shiar officers, waving a hand to shoo them out of the way. “I told au they were here! I TOLD au they were the ios that set off the internal sensors! Where is she?” Turning her head she caught sight of t'Rexan -- t’Vatrix -- whatever her name was now, and her sucked in a gasp, “Her! The clone! Kill her!” He took a step to the left to intercede. “I assure au,” he began, “there was plenty of testing done, I even reviewed the results. The woman is na clone; but she is a traitor, a member of Galae, and the bondmate of Daise’Khre’Riov tr’Vatrix. She will provide us with what we want to know, as well as serve as the bait we need to capture him.” Behind him, the bound and barely conscious Khre’Riov tried to lift her head to no avail, but was able to cough out a rasping laugh, followed by barely louder than a whisper towards Au’rial: “Veruul. Au small, useless veruul.” Au'rial t'Temarr was incensed. She wanted someone dead. More so, she wanted this…’this thing’…who had invaded her home, disrupted her family and had even coerced her own bondmate into renewing ties with that scourge of a daughter whom she had wished yy’a so many times over. She vehemently wanted them both yy’a. Coiling to lunge around the tall Tal Shiar head, she instead heard the commotion growing downstairs, turned and flew from the room screeching again. tr’Gralik, turned his gaze once again back towards the woman holding an ie’yakk on the bound prisoner. “Alright then, Eviess t’Mahren...” He paced around the bound woman and lifted her chin to get a better look at her, turning her head from side to side. “As I said, I am Daise Enarrain tr'Gralik. And I -- I have heard of au.” He released the woman’s head to drop back to the side, as he turned back towards t’Mahren. “Now, au prisoner here. I presume” -- hearing more screeching and weapons fire from below, he paused briefly, turning toward the door -- “I presume this is indeed the Khre'Riov that we've all been looking for.” Satisfied that her identity had been accepted, Evie powered down and holstered her weapon. She could not afford the chance they might question her motivation. “I thought she might lead us to her beloved.” tr’Gralik took a step back, crossed his arms and stared at the bound woman, having noted the glassy look in her eye, her head lolling to one side. She was conscious but unable to offer any real resistance, even had she been untied. “Interesting. It has been noted how close and devoted he has been to her over the years. She should have been yy’a on several previous occasions, had he na found a way to save her. Perhaps au plan is io we should explore. “What exactly have au done to her? Have au been able to obtain anything useful from her?” “She was dosed with a sedative and something to loosen her tongue,” t’Mahren replied. She folded her arms across her chest, leaning back against the desk. “I had only just begun my interrogation when the screeching veruul arrived with her flock of monkeys.” He looked questioningly at her, but the sound of boots on the stairs had drawn his attention back towards the door, as several other captives were lead out towards the transport ships. Several appeared to have been injured, but it was not clear if his own men had done it, or the woman sitting across the room. “More of au handy work?” he asked, inclining his head towards the door. She offered a smirk. “One does what one can.” Major tr’Danov paused by the doorway and waited so as na to interrupt. “Rekkhai, we have taken five others into custody after a minor altercation. They appear to match the records of the command staff of the RES Talon. What are au orders, Rekkhai?” “Load them into the RACs, and return them to our command base until I reach my superiors. We will need to see if they should be transported to their location. In the interim, we will try to obtain information. It will go well for us that we have captured these fugitives, but if we can ascertain the location of the Talon as well, there will be promotions for both of us, tr’Danov.” Evie levelled a steely glare on tr’Gralik and tr’Danov. “Au are not the only ones responsible for this little… coup,” she said. “t’Vatrix is currently under my custody, and she will remain as such. You may, of course, have her once I have the needed information… but until then? Mine.” She punctuated the statement with a finely arched brow. “I’m certain your superiors -- and mine -- will appreciate the cooperation.” tr’Danov started, “Who does she think--” but stopped at a motion from tr’Gralik. tr’Gralik glared at the woman. He was na going to give up this prize that would assuredly reward him well, but unsure of who exactly ‘her’ superiors were, did na wish to cause himself future trouble. “Once we’ve returned to the base and ensure that we have secured the remaining Talon crew, then we can determine who will take final custody of her. It would do neither of us well if we were to misplace any of them.” tr’Gralik turned to tr’Danov. “Have au men secure the others. t’Mahren and the Khre’Riov will travel hrrau my ship. t’Mahren, I invite au to be a guest at my residence, so au may also keep an eye on the Khre’Riov. I will at least give her the respect of her rank, and house her in a more suitable location than a dank cell.” He motioned for his guards to enter and carry the drugged woman to his ship. “Now t’Mahren, shall we go and have the evening meal. Au can tell me just how au came to capture this lot all on au own?”

Sitting away from the others as they continued watching what transmissions they could pick up, and keeping tabs on the away team, L'haiy just needed a siuren of quiet to herself. The ISD on her lap was cold and a trap. Useful as a tool for discovering poor decisions later, or to lighten one's conscious, or just to take notes to refer back to later, she had too often had the contents of her logs come back upon her in unwanted fashion. However, she needed to talk to someone, so it might as well be this device, besides....it would na talk back if it disagreed with her. Slilding her palm across the surface, whispering her personal code and holding it up to her eye, she heard the instrument chirp indicating that it was ready to proceed. Khre'Riov's Log - 51504.02 I hate this waiting. I've never been a patient woman, and I find that at the siuren, I am even less so. After all this time and effort, being torn away from my family and pressed back into service, rescuing tKsa, them rescuing me, capturing that Othan ship......all wasted as we find ourselves here. What good did it do any of us? Other than get us out of the way, unable to be here to help protect the home world, away from assisting my family. Someone will pay, and they will pay dearly. But I want my vengeance now, na later...as I know it will have to be. We know too little, there are too few of us, and we don't even have our ship. Hopefully the enemy does na either. At least I know they do na have Stinger, if she made it to where I sent her. But what can we do here...we are too few, we need to find others, and at that same time. I want nothing more than to go find my family and be done with all of this. But I know that can na be. I am Galae and I will yy'a as Galae. Var'lon 'is' Galae, I dread what has become of he and our child, yet t'Mahren's friends indicated that they knew something, that he was at least safe at last they knew. If that is the case, I must do my best to either gather what forces we can, and make an assault upon these veruul's and cowards, using a biogenic weapon on our own people in the heart of the capital. They are na Rihannsu, they are animals, and must be put down. But to do this...we sit and wait...and my anger grows. There are two options....we gather and go, or we split up and try to assassinate the false rulers that have taken over. And I hate to wait.......I am almost done waiting.........and I'm putting together a plan...... End recording. Sliding her finger across the surface once more. Etrehh..delete entire recording. Confirm log deletion. :seeing it deleted, she turned off the device and slide it back onto her belt, and went to rejoin the others.

Very well said Andrew. I think we can all agree with your insightful words today.

Beginning the first official sim on January 5th, 1995, the Talon has endured and now enters it's 20th year of simming. From our start in the former AOL Games Channel under Star Fleet Online (SFOL), to the many changes there that finally caused us to move with many of our simming community to our current home here in the Star Trek Simulation Forum (STSF), we want to thank all of our current and past players, our friends that we talked into being an SGV's or that soon to be yy'a Lloann'na, those that we made proofread logs while having to try to translate Rihannsu for the first time, and those that just stopped by to visit and watch occasionally.......we want to say a big Hann'yyo to au!! What is more outstanding is we still have members on the ship that began with the crew that first year. Without au, we would na be the sim we are today, still here simming after 20 years, and looking to continue for many more. It says a lot about our players that they've stuck with this for so long and put so much of themselves into it. You guys are awesome, we're honored to have au with us and we are looking forward to many more years to come. Khre'Riov L'haiy ira-Rexan t'Vatrix RES Talon 2415

Does that make it a better target now?

RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51412.18 - Season 19 The Talon Away team has escaped the station in the RAC and due to some prior planning have been able to evade those searching for them so far. The Talon as per orders has left and went stealth to hide until recalled. At this time, we are headed towards the summer home of t'Temarr's family, as it has been little used and not the season for visiting there. Koga is attempting to have us blend in with local air traffic and t’Ksa has been dealing with Pexil poison.

Laehval tTemarr -> ACTION> Soon, the peaks rise up around them and they are plunged into the canyon, which narrows at the end, but is plenty wide enough for their shuttle. The turbulence was ridiculous, jolting and jarring, but Koga managed to keep their course with minimal effort. After one last drop, which shook the shuttle horribly, the RAC sped out into the open air. The mountains encircled a beautiful valley. From the canyon, a river plunged into a foamy spray and then snaked over the land. Glimpses of shining water could be seen through the thick forest. To the left, an impressive holding was situated on the side of the mountain with a small shuttle pad for landing. Koga S'Bien -> Hmm. Phew.

Pexil is under the care of the Daise Maenak, helping him to recover his senses, Koga is piloting us along shipping lines trying to get us to blend in, Laeh has modified the ship's ID chip so as not to readily identify who we are, yet not look suspicious by destroying it.

Beneath the surface of a polished Imperial façade, an unknown danger lurks. In that regard, the away team has made two recent discoveries. One team has learned that whispers of Othan spies within the ranks have caused at least one station officer to be forcibly removed and possibly executed, though he was known to be a loyal supporter of Galae command. The others have been warned that the station is no longer safe. As it is impossible to tell if the Talon is being fed misinformation or has truly become mired in a political upheaval that teeters on civil war, who are they to trust?
