+Scene: Inside the Reaver's asteroid base<br>
+Loren awoke with an ache he swore was going to split his skull. Shaking
+his head to get rid of the grogginess caused rivulets of pain shoot all
+across his temples. <nowiki>*Mistake*</nowiki> he thought.
+Slowly his vision cleared to reveal the four walls of what appeared to be
+a holding cell. The walls themselves were bare as was the floor and
+ceiling. Loren unsteadily clambered to his feet and began surveying his new
+surroundings. He was halfway through running his fingers over one of the
+walls searching for a means of egress when he stopped.
+Grabbing his temples he began to concentrate, <nowiki>*What in the devil are all
+these clicks and whistles I'm hearing?*</nowiki> The unintelligible clicks began
+to dissolve into emotions as Loren concentrated harder... emotions he
+could immediately recognize.
+<nowiki>*The Federation...technology...an attack...a trap carefully laid...and
+the FEYNMAN*</nowiki> The thoughts came rapidly and easily to Loren, so easily
+that he put up a mental block because he began to lose himself to the
+thoughts.
+Loren's head began to pound again and his legs simply gave way. He curled
+himself into a ball on the floor and began to meditate to force away the
+pain and formulate a plan.

+Could the FEYNMAN be headed for a trap? <VBEG>

+Scene: Holding Cell on Reaver's Base<br>
+It didn't take long for Loren to achieve the proper mind state to block
+the pain he was feeling. Sitting up he remembered that his body was
+still damaged but his mind was no longer registering the pain. He
+couldn't keep it that way for long, but maybe long enough to escape.
+Running his hands once again over the seemingly featureless walls he
+could feel them getting stronger in response to his applied force. On
+top of that the floor seemed like it was gripping his feet. <nowiki>*This is
+useless*</nowiki> he thought angrily as he kicked the wall he faced.
+What happened next totally surprised him. His foot went through the wall
+along with his leg and then the rest of his body. Jumping to his feet on
+the other side Loren glanced around quickly to confirm what his Betazoid
+senses had already told him...he was alone. Looking back at the wall he
+tried to tentatively put his hand back through the wall but it was just
+as hard as ever.
+He then envisioned himself fighting someone, beating them, and put his
+hand back up to the wall. It passed right through as if the wall were
+made of water. Loren drew upon other emotions as he repeated the test.
+<nowiki>*Amazing, certain emotions namely anger, allowed one to pass through the
+walls or doors or whatever they are here*</nowiki> Loren realized.
+With his newfound knowledge Loren made his way towards an open corridor
+with the one intention of finding a way out.
+After making it a few meters down the corridor, Loren stopped. <nowiki>*Bad guys
+ahead*.</nowiki> He eased himself into their thoughts for a brief moment and drew
+his mind back abruptly. He couldn't see them around the corner but he
+sensed six of them and they were anxious. Once again Loren made out the
+ideas of a trap but it wasn't directed at anything or anyone nearby. The
+idea seemed to concern something bigger and farther away.
+Then it hit him. The FEYNMAN was headed for a trap. The thoughts
+came fast and furious. <nowiki>*The base was expendable...first lead the Isaahi
+fleet into the asteroid field, destroy them while the FEYNMAN attempts to
+leave the area. While the Isaahi are occupied with the base, an ambush
+of a large number of our ships will capture the FEYNMAN...They're going
+to try to capture the ship. No time for this, I gotta go*</nowiki>
+Loren spun around to come face to face with hooded creature about 2
+meters tall shuffling even closer to him. <nowiki>*Damn, too preoccupied to
+sense this one coming up on me*</nowiki> The thing reached out to grab Loren who
+grabbed the thing's left appendage, twisted it to the right, and
+using the momentum generated threw the thing to the floor.
+Bounding over the fallen creature, Loren ran for all he was worth.

+SD 81130.0240 (GMT)<br>
+MD 7.0930<br>
+SCENE: Bridge<br>
+Maril monitored the battle closely, watching for any strange occurrences.
+Nothing so far.
+Unfortunately, the Issahi were losing despite their superior numbers. The
+Reavers were taking advantage of their better firepower and the Issahi lack of
+maneuverability. A good quarter of the Issahi attack fleet had been destroyed, as
+opposed to less than an eighth of the Reavers.
+But, then, as it looked like the Reavers would force the Issahi back, different
+Issahi ships started to enter the battle. These were about the same length and
+thickness as the others, but much wider. And when the Reavers fired their
+weapons, it took about twelve high-power shots to bring these strange ships'
+shields down even 25%.
+Suddenly, it hit Maril as suddenly as the lightning hit Regampha. He recalled
+the data from Lt. Meleah's experiments with the dilithium sword. The energy
+readouts were very similar. So it was dilithium the Issahi were using!
+"The attack of the valmbirds at Cidema," he whispered under his breath.
+He looked up to see what was happening around the Bridge. Seemingly, all
+was quiet. Very few Reavers had attacked since the Feynman had beamed down
+the away team. Perhaps they were too focused on the Issahi attack.
+"Reaver ship at bearing 212, mark 308," Jerran reported calmly. Maril had
+thought too soon.
+"Red alert," Maril ordered quickly.
+"Hold your fire, Tactical," Zane said slowly. "Let them fire first. Mr. Jerran,
+bring us about to face the Reaver ship, but keep us within communications range
+of the away team."
+"Aye, sir, but two more ships have just appeared at bearings 257, mark 7 and
+, mark 76."
+"All three ships are firing weapons, sir," the tactical officer reported with some
+worry.
+The ship rocked violently, almost throwing Maril out of his chair. "Damage
+report," he said sternly as he attempted to regain his bearings.
+"Shields down to 37%. Damage to decks 14-16 of the Engineering section."
+"Get some repair teams down there," Maril ordered.
+"You may open fire, Tactical," the Captain gave the command.
+"Aye, sir."
+The ship shuddered again. "Report."
+"The ship in front of us has been destroyed. Our shields went down for 4
+seconds, but they are now back up to 10%. Damage to the starboard nacelle
+pylon."
+"Continue firing," Zane ordered.
+Jenn suddenly spoke up. "Sir, somehow a small probe got close to us when
+our shields were down for 4 seconds. It is creating a magnetic field." Then she
+held her breath for a second. "Sir, the probe's magnetic field is disrupting our
+anti-matter containment field. If our containment field fails-"
+"We won't be here to fight the Reavers at all," Zane finished the sentence.
+"The Jacolian tunnelers attacking from below," Maril whispered.
+Zane shivered for a second, but quickly gained control. "Can we destroy it?"
+"Not by conventional means," Jenn answered. "The probe is much too close
+to the ship. An explosion would cause a major hull breach."
+"Can we get a tractor beam on it?" Maril asked, worried.
+"Possibly. The probe is very small. We may grab a lot of empty space
+instead of the probe."
+"I think that's a chance we have to take," Zane said, seemingly calm.
+"Tactical, get a tractor beam lock on it. When you have it, swing the tractor
+beam outwards and let go at the end of the arc."
+"Aye, sir, I have a lock on it, engaging tractor beam, missed it," the tactical
+officer reported. "Got another lock, engaging tractor beam, got it this time.
+Swinging the tractor beam to the port, disengaging tractor beam...now! The
+probe is continuing on its path outwards."
+"Good job, everyone," Zane said with some relief. "Are there any Reaver
+ships still attacking us?"
+"One, sir. The other one has gone to the main battle."
+"Status of shields?" Maril asked.
+"They're up to 24%. The Reaver ship is firing again."
+"Return fire!" Zane ordered as the ship shook.
