SD: 80820<br> | |||
These pirates were more loyal than one would think. | |||
"Look," he said to the group. "You have two options. You can either tell us what you know, and possibly go free; or you can keep quiet and be brought back with us to Starbase Epsilon, where you will be tried for piracy and any other crimes you have committed." | |||
"All we want to know," Jerran added, "is where any other pirate bases are, who comes through your base, that sort of stuff." | |||
Maril stood up. "Keep trying, Scout." Maril smiled at his use of the nickname. "You too, Ensign Lee. I will get a report from Lieutenant Jenn on our situation." Turning over to the security officer in charge of the brig, he ordered, "Tell Lieutenant Jenn I will be up on the Bridge soon." | |||
"Aye, sir," the officer replied. | |||
MD 6.1245<br> | |||
Bridge<br> | |||
Maril listened as Jenn reported on the situation, and pondered what they would do about the Bird of Prey almost right on top of the Typhoon. Then, Jenn fell onto the floor, stopping Maril's train of thought. | |||
"We need to get her to Sickbay," Maril said. It was more of an order than an observation. "Mr. Cartwright, take command for the moment. Computer, emergency beamout to Sickbay." | |||
Maril's mind raced through the options as the transporter beam shimmered around Jenn and himself. They couldn't afford to lose a senior officer, since they were already spread out into at least three different groups and possibly more. | |||
A nurse entered the room as they rematerialized. "Get her better," Maril ordered sharply. "She has a severe headache, which has been going on for quite some time," he added as he practically ran out of Sickbay. The situation was getting worse, not better. | |||
MD 6.1305<br> | |||
Brig<br> | |||
Maril gestured for Jerran to walk over as Maril entered the brig. | |||
"How has it been since I left, Scout?" | |||
"Better. We were able to make them tell us that the Xanthadi sweep through this area every three weeks or so. They don't seem to know where any other pirate bases are, though." | |||
"Did they tell you when the Xanthadi last swept through here?" | |||
The usually confident Jerran swallowed for a second before answering. "Yes, sir, about two and a half weeks ago." | |||
Maril's eyes drifted wearily as he contemplated that fact. "What is the usual size of the Xanthadi fleet?" he said distantly. | |||
"They said it varied. Sometimes only one or two ships came; other times, ten did." | |||
Maril also contemplated that thought, thensnapped out of his daze. "Well, we'll just have to prepare for that, then. Mr. Jerran, I'm putting you in command of the Typhoon." | |||
"Me, sir? There are three other lieutenants on the ship, sir." | |||
"No, Koreth and Meleah are on the surface now, and Jenn is not able to command for the moment. So, you are now in command. I have a plan." He motioned for the security officer to join the conversation. | |||
"Now, two people are going to be beamed into an empty cell, that one," he said to the security officer, pointing to the cell farthest from the other prisoners. "As soon as they rematerialize, I want a forcefield up on that cell. They will not get out. Is that understood?" | |||
"Yes, sir," the officer answered. | |||
"Get the cell set up," he ordered. To Jerran, he said, "I am going to try to trick the Orion and her bodyguard to beam onto the ship. Hopefully, we can then reroute the beam to the brig, where we will have them trapped. You will | |||
stay on the Typhoon, while Ensign Lee and I beam back onto the Bird of Prey. We will coordinate from there." | |||
"Aye, sir. I'll get to the Bridge now." | |||
MD 6.1330<br> | |||
Transporter Room 1<br> | |||
Maril put in the command for a comm link to the Bird of Prey. "This is the Skipper. We've got the ship. You can beam over." | |||
[Finally. But you better have that place secure.] | |||
Maril watched the readout. His fingers flew over the console, trying to reroute the beam to the brig. Unfortunately, the original beam was trying to go the Typhoon's bridge, and the best Maril could do was rerouting it to the transporter room. He was quick to put a forcefield up around the pad, though. | |||
"What? What is this? I'll-" the Pirate Queen's last words were cut off by the | |||
reinitiation of the transporter, which sent her and the bear into the Brig. | |||
Maril tapped his communicator, "Maril to Brig. Do you have them?" | |||
[Yes, sir, they're safely inside the cell.] | |||
"Good. Ensign Lee, I'd like you to get up to Transporter Room 1." | |||
[Yes, sir.] | |||
"Maril out," he closed the communication. Without pausing, he said, "Maril to Bridge. Are you settled in, Mr. Jerran?" | |||
[Yes, sir, we're fine up here.] | |||
"Good. I'll contact you as soon as we're on the Bird of Prey. Maril out." | |||
MD 6.1400<br> | |||
Bird of Prey: Bridge<br> | |||
Maril, Ensign Lee, and some NCOs that Maril had gathered from the Typhoon rematerialized and everyone went to their stations. | |||
"Now, the first thing this ship needs is a new name. If there are no objections, I would like to name it the _batlh 'etlh_, or the _Sword of Honor_." | |||
There were no objections, and so Maril ordered, "Hail the Typhoon." | |||
The Typhoon's Bridge appeared, and Maril started, "We are ready over here. I suggest you head over to the Feynman and the Husnock ship. We will go back to the pirate base." | |||
[Aye, sir. Typhoon out.] | |||
The viewscreen faded, and Maril said, "Set course for the base. I am open to suggestions on how to deal with the remaining pirates." | |||
