==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: The Right Moment== | |||
===by Scott Lusby=== | |||
SD: 2261.108 | |||
Setting: Brig, USS HOOD | |||
<<snip- from Andy's post, entitled "Time To Go">> | |||
Jack just shook his head as he contemplated which one of the fools he should | |||
kill first. "Well now that you mention it." He began quietly as he turned | |||
to face Merrick and Gar. "Would one of you two useless pieces of crap | |||
explain to me why the FRAK! I am still locked in here like some petty | |||
criminal." "You!" He jabbed a finger at the first officer, "I guess I have | |||
no need to blame you. I mean I know you once where an engineer but you were | |||
so frakkin pathetic at it I had to find a position where you didn't actually | |||
have to do anything. But you." He turned to face Gar. "You are an | |||
engineer. You're supposed to be a good one, while else would an inferior | |||
race be allowed to be an officer on my ship? So start acting like one of | |||
your betters and get me the frak out of here." | |||
"I'll grant that wish right now pink skin!" Gar screamed as he charged | |||
Steele. Seconds later the forcefield was down and the two security officers | |||
charged in. Seconds after that they were disarmed and unconscious on the | |||
deck. | |||
"Good work Gar." Jack said as he grinned at the Andorian. "I knew you'd | |||
follow along. Now let's get out of here." | |||
<<end snip>> | |||
Anti-Gar realized that, at this moment, BlackJack was perhaps at his most | |||
vulnerable; if he waited until he got back aboard THEIR HOOD... | |||
...he might never get another opportunity. | |||
As soon as BlackJack turned towards the cell doors, Anti-Gar fired. | |||
BlackJack crumpled to the floor. | |||
Immediately, the Andorian's phaser panned across both Anti-Merrick and | |||
Anti-Stile. "Make up your minds quickly," Anti-Gar said. | |||
"Did you kill him?" Anti-Merrick asked, not without a trace of hope in his | |||
tone. | |||
"No," Anti-Gar grumbled. "I may be a slave, but I am a better man than | |||
him," he spat. "He deserves to die, but it won't be by my hand; I've seen | |||
enough killing for one lifetime." | |||
As he spoke, Anti-Stile moved to BlackJack's side, and checked his pulse. | |||
Then, quietly, he drew his phaser. | |||
Anti-Gar's grip tightened on the phaser, and his finger brushed the firing | |||
stud. "That doesn't mean I won't kill to protect myself," he warned, | |||
changing the setting from stun to kill with a touch of the thumb. | |||
Anti-Stile stood up, and, suddenly, turning his aim to BlackJack, he fired | |||
his weapon into the prone body. | |||
"He'll have a hell of a headache, but he'll live," the doctor growled. "But | |||
now he won't awaken for a couple of hours." | |||
Anti-Stile glanced at Anti-Merrick, then back at Anti-Gar, and re-holstered | |||
his phaser. | |||
"What's the plan now- Captain?" | |||
Anti-Gar shook his head. "No way- I don't want it- I have a target on my | |||
back already being a member of a slave race." He paused, and looked at | |||
Anti-Merrick. "Looks like you're in charge now- CAPTAIN Merrick." | |||
<<NRPG>> | |||
Thought I'd throw another twist into things... | |||
BlackJack's not dead, just stunned...though Anti-Stile could have done | |||
anything to him. It really depends on what side of things Anti-Stile is on- | |||
if he's on the Captain's side, he could have fired a shot into him that did | |||
nothing, and BlackJack will just wake up as if after a normal stun. But if | |||
he DID double-stun BlakcJack...well, that's different. And no one checked | |||
BlackJack AFTER Anti-Stile shot him... | |||
Now we have an open cell- where to? | |||
