Scene: Market Level<br> | |||
Zane walked down the corridor of the market level engrossed in his | |||
lucky find. He'd read the book countless times but the thrill of finding | |||
a long sought treasure added a certain allure making the experience seem | |||
like a new one. He was so engrossed in fact that as he walked past the | |||
infamous Wall he failed to take note of the turmoil inside. Not even the | |||
screams of flying patrons was enough to stir him from his reading. What | |||
did prove to be successful however was the Starfleet officer who came | |||
crashing through the large pane of glass that was the Wall's main window, | |||
landing at his feet. Thankfully it was not a FEYNMAN crew member but the | |||
body that crashed through the remaining glass seconds later was. "Chief!" | |||
MCPO Larocque shook his head for a moment and then realized who | |||
was kneeling over him. "There's a bunch of us in there...they're going to | |||
need help." The captain's aide began to get to his feet helping the | |||
officer beside him. | |||
A jumble of emotions ran through Zane and he settled on the one | |||
most appealing. He jerked a thumb towards the raging brawl and addressed | |||
both. "We go in and we get Starfleet out...before the marines get here." | |||
That wouldn't leave them much time. | |||
As they charged into the fray Zane shouted at Mike. "Where are | |||
they?" | |||
"Back corner." Mike answered ducking in time to miss catching a | |||
bottle in the face. Zane nodded and then charged into the melee. He made | |||
it about five feet before running in to his first obstacle, an overly | |||
large Nasican who was holding a Starfleet officer by the neck and shaking | |||
him like a ragdoll. He grabbed a chair and smashed it over the Nacsican's | |||
back. It was enough of a blow to make him drop the officer but little | |||
else. He quickly spun around to face Zane who had just as quickly picked | |||
up a leg from the broken chair. The captain struck first, smashing the | |||
weapon into the Nascian's jaw and shattering it. In response the Nascian | |||
picked up Zane and raised him over his head. With a scream of rage he | |||
tossed Zane deeper into the brawl. As he came crashing down his one | |||
consoling thought was that at least he was making progress. | |||
Lying on his back on the beer soaked floor he now became the | |||
victim of a variety of kicks and stomps by the patrons his flight had | |||
rudely interrupted. Struggling to his feet, stunned by the blows he felt | |||
someone grab him and call out his name. Soon a grinning face was staring | |||
at his. "Bat?" | |||
"Having fun Z? Duck!" As his reflexes followed the order Bat | |||
struck out at the Orion who had had been planning on breaking yet another | |||
chair over someone's head. Not expecting the punch he crumpled to the | |||
floor. "C'mon! What are you lagging behind for the rest of us are over | |||
here." | |||
The two punched and lunged their way through the crowd to find a | |||
small circle of FEYNMAN and Starfleet officers engaged with a variety of | |||
lifeforms from across the galaxy. As they reached them the whistles of | |||
approaching marines could be heard. Zane tried to shout to the group in | |||
general but had a fist stuffed into his face for his trouble. He rammed | |||
the chair leg into the stomach of his attacker who bent over from the | |||
blow. A quick raised knee to the face left him unconscious on the floor. | |||
Out of the corner of his eye he watched with admiration as Meleah grabbed | |||
two Klingons and smashed them together. The look of complete indifference | |||
on her face triggered a laugh. He hadn't had this much fun since he was a | |||
lieutenant. | |||
Grabbing the closest body to him he waded into the thick of the | |||
fight. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just because Zane wants everyone out before the marines arrive doesn't | |||
mean that is what will actually happen;) Maybe our next mission could be | |||
escaping from the drunk-tank | |||

Stardate: 81229.1408<br> | |||
Scene: Epsilon<br> | |||
MD: 10.1835<br> | |||
Stepping out of the docking tube and onto Epsilon, the two FEYNMAN officers nodded to | |||
the base security officer standing guard. More of a tradidion than necessity, ship 'in-port' were given an honor-guard by the Marines on-post. This one, however, seemed like he was due for a nap. | |||
The CSO rolled hiseyes, and briefly contemplated the 'chewing-out' he would give the officer had he been under his command. | |||
J.C. Allard and Loren Landers continued on through EPSILON to the lift that would take | |||
them to the Market Level. | |||
"It feels good to have some time away from the FEYNAMN," said J.C. They entered the | |||
lift. | |||
"I know." said Landers, "I've finally finished the Senior Staff meetings. I have to | |||
admit, the FEYNMAN is a diverse bunch." | |||
"Yeah, that would be one word for us," grinned the CSO. The lift deposited them onto | |||
the Market Level of EPSILON, the area where one could find exotic shopes with practically any merchandise you could want, for a price of course. The many restaurants and cafe's emitted smells from the cuisenes of cultures throughout the Federation. | |||
"This is my first time really exploring EPSILON," said J.C. "When I was first posted to | |||
the FEYNAMN, I reported immediately." | |||
"Same for me," said Loren. They passed the 'NaDev NuqDaq, a place not known for it's | |||
service, but delicious Klingon cuisene. Pausing in front, Loren inhaled some aroma. J.C. could not place it, but it reminded the CSO of something stale and burning. | |||
"How about a bite to eat, J.C.?". Allard grimmaced, never one for Klingon dishes. | |||
"I don't know... there is a really good Italian place...." said J.C. trying to lure the | |||
counselor into a more palatable meal. | |||
"Come on. Try it." grudgingly, the J.C. gave it. Half hour later, both FEYNMAN officers | |||
emerged. | |||
"Well, that was good! I'm stuffed." said Loren. He looked over at his friend, who was a | |||
bit pale and green at the same time. | |||
"Yeah, Loren. I'm stuffed too! I need a drink". said J.C. "Let's go check out this | |||
'Wall' place I've heard so much about." | |||
"OK, J.C.," said Loren. They maneuvered the corridors, through various shops. Once, | |||
making a wrong turn, a Ferengi trader set them back on the right way, eyeing the Starfleet officers | |||
suspiciously. Both J.C. and Loren gave each other an 'I-don't-know' shrug. | |||
Finally reaching the entrance of the 'Wall', the cargo-bay type door slid open at | |||
their approach. Stepping in, J.C. noted how dark it was, and closed his eyes momentarily to help adjust. They found a table, and each got a drink from the actual 'wall'. While it was not busy this time of day, they were conscious of various pairs (and sets) of eyes on the only two uniformed officers in the place. | |||
"Nice place, huh?" commented Loren. | |||
"Yeah. Great atmosphere." Moments later, a welcome site of three Starfleet base officers | |||
entered. Loren and J.C. nodded to the newcomers, who took a table on the other side of the bar. | |||
"When I get back onboard I need to spend some time writing to my family in friends, | |||
"said J.C. "I'm horrible when it comes to writing letters." | |||
"You brothers and Father are all on Earth," asked Loren. | |||
"Yeah. And then there's..." J.C. stopped quite suddenly, his mouth accidentally agape | |||
from the last word. Staring at the doors. Loren turned to see what the CSO was looking at. Two more Starfleet Officers had entered, two Lieutenants, neither of which the counselor recognized. Clearly, however, J.C. did. | |||
On making eye contact with the FEYNMAN CSO, the two sauntered over to their table, | |||
"Well, well. Look what we have here, a couple of misfits." said one of them to his comrade. "They must be from the GREY fleet.!" and both burst out laughing. | |||
"Have you been out of the Academy so long, Lt. JUNIOR GRADE Allard, that you forgot | |||
protocol!". said the loud and obnoxious one. Slowly, J.C. stood, and motioned for Landers to do likewise. The newcomer making a point of him being a full Lieutenant, outranking both J.C. and Loren. | |||
"Ensign Loren Landers, this is LIEUTENANT David Russo." Russo thumped J.C. on the back, | |||
almost knocking | |||
the CSO over. | |||
"Yes, we're OLD friends." said Russo. Looking at Landers, Russo continued,"I was Allard's | |||
FAVORITE upperclassmen. We had some good times at the ACADEMY!" He let out an evil-sounding | |||
laugh, a laugh that brought back bits of his Academy life J.C. would have liked to forget. Sitting back down, Russo and his companion planted themselves, uninvited, in chairs at their table. | |||
"Loren, what the LIEUTENANT means is that while we attended the Academy, Russo was in | |||
charge of making | |||
my life a living hell". | |||
"Oh, you enjoyed it J.C." sneered Russo. | |||
Nudging his companion, Russo snickered,"So I didn't know the GREY fleet had officers | |||
here on EPSILON. Carter and I just got on leave from the BISMARK. So, what garbage ship are you two on.?" asked Russo. J.C. clenched his fists. | |||
Loren spoke up, "Lieutenant J.G. Allard and myself are NOT in the GREY fleet. We're | |||
stationed on the FEYNMAN." said Loren bluntly. It didn't take an empath to sense the emotional restraint J.C. was holding onto. | |||
Carter growled, "Who asked you, Doctor!" Loren still being in his blue uniform. | |||
"Ah, the FEYNMAN." said Russo, "that's the ship with the changling Captian." | |||
"CAPTAIN ZANE is not a changeling!" shouted Loren, perhaps a bit too loud. | |||
"Allard, seems your little friend here is quite the boisterous one!" said Russo. "No | |||
matter, the likes of you will end up in GREY sooner or later." Russo and Carter burst out laughing , and again thumped J.C. on the back. | |||
"Come on, Allard, cheer up! You have to have a sense of humor working on the | |||
FUNNYMEN!..." | |||
<I> | |||
Krysa and Meleah stepped out of the sundae shop and continued on their way | |||
down the marketplace. Krysa spotted a cute little accessories shop and was | |||
about to point it out when Meleah spoke up, "I think that is our CSO over | |||
there." | |||
Krysa looked over and saw the unmistakable white blonde cropped hair of Lt. | |||
Allard across the way from them. "I think you're right. Good eyes, Meleah!" | |||
Meleah looked at her, "My eyes are functioning at optimum levels." | |||
Krysa grinned, "That's what I said. He's not alone either. I do believe | |||
that is our newest crewmember with him." | |||
"Where do you suppose they are going?" | |||
Krysa watched as they headed down a darkened corridor toward the seedier | |||
side of the station. "I would venture a guess, they're headed to 'The Wall'." | |||
"I thought you told me that was not a place that welcomed Starfleet officers." | |||
"It's not," Krysa said. She sighed, "But obviously our menfolk don't care | |||
about that." | |||
Meleah turned and headed off in the direction they had seen the two men go. | |||
Krysa grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?" | |||
"It is likely that they will need our help." Meleah said. | |||
"Are you crazy. You don't want to go in there." | |||
"You can wait here for me. I just want to make sure they are safe." | |||
Krysa groaned, "Well, I can't let you go alone." | |||
Meleah shrugged, "I am much more equipped to deal with trouble then you | |||
are, Krysa." | |||
"Probably," Krysa agreed, "but what fun is shopping all alone. They will be fine. Let's finish our shopping, then join them!"</I> | |||
"Very well," acknowledged Meleah. | |||
Meleah and Krysa watched the new counselor and CSO enter the Wall. Kyrsa detoured the | |||
female-duo into a small antique book shope adjacent to the Wall. About fifteen minutes later, the two emerged, with three old books in-hand. Kyrsa enjoying here find like a child with an ice-cream sundae. | |||
They approached the door to the 'Wall', and entered. After adjusting to the light, | |||
Kyrsa spotted J.C. and Loren talking to some other Starfleet officers. | |||
Turning to Lt. Meleah, Kyrsa pointed them out, "Look, there they are." She stopped as | |||
Meleah shoved her out of the path of a chair that flew right towards them.... | |||

Scene:Captain's Quarters<br> | |||
"Come." Zane said over his shoulder to the door as he looked into | |||
the mirror, a final check. | |||
"Well, well, well. Big night out on the town?" Bat asked as he | |||
and his 3 companions entered the cabin and noted Zane's tuxedo. | |||
Turning to face them, he moved over to one of the room's chairs | |||
and sat down to slip on his shoes. "Thought I might splurge a little. | |||
Its been awhile since I've actually done anything on a layover. I see | |||
you four are dressed for a little carousing. Not the Wall again?" | |||
The three younger men laughed nervously remembering Zane's anger | |||
the last time they had been to the Wall and then got up close and personal | |||
with several of the bar's patrons - in the base's drunk tank. "There are | |||
several bars on our agenda but don't worry the boys have not let me talk | |||
them into going to the Wall...yet." Bat replied. | |||
"You three are on your time," The captain rose, "but see that he | |||
doesn't succeed." | |||
A chorus of yessir was interrupted by the bartender. "So are you | |||
going to keep us in suspense? What are the fancy digs for? Hot date? | |||
Second job as a waiter?" | |||
"I thought I might try my luck in the casino this evening." He | |||
said with a smile "So if you'll excuse me there is a baccarat table with | |||
my name on it." | |||

Scene:VIP club, Casino EPSILON<br> | |||
MD:10.1830<br> | |||
"...monkey, monkey! MONKEY!" Zane's table mates screamed out with | |||
enthusiasm as the dealer drew the last card from the shoe. Unfortunately | |||
the gods of gaming were to ignore their pleas. | |||
"Three, player has six, dealer wins with seven." Efficently the | |||
dealer collected the players chips pausing to pay Zane's bet, after first | |||
deducting the 5% commission for betting dealer-win. | |||
"Another drink for you sir?" The server asked from behind. | |||
He drained the nearly empty glass and placed it on her tray. | |||
"That'd be great Bianca, same as last time please." | |||
She smiled at him. "Okay one iced-tea." | |||
"Thanks." The casino believed in serving alcohol rather than | |||
sythehol to its patrons. Many argued the effects were the same but it | |||
seemed alcohol still encouraged larger bets. Zane had decided early on | |||
not to take any chances and had stuck with nonalcholic drinks. | |||
"Ahhh, Zane my friend, how are you?" A short Lebanese man | |||
approached the table, extending a hand. The captain recognized the accent | |||
before he turned to see the face. | |||
"Nabil! I'm good, you?" | |||
"Much better now that I know you are back with us. Are you | |||
winning all our money?" | |||
"I've had a good run." He gestured at his stack of purple chips. | |||
"Not much more or they won't be able to pay me!" The executive | |||
host of the casino pleaded feigning concern. | |||
Zane gestured around at the thousands of guests around them in the | |||
noisy room. "Very little chance of that." | |||
"But it is good you are here. The item you were looking for I | |||
have found it." | |||
"The item?" Zane asked puzzled. It had been over a year since he | |||
had been in the casino. Nabil had a knack for finding elusive items and | |||
Zane had used his services several times before but he couldn't remember | |||
what this item was. | |||
"The book!" | |||
Recognition burst through. Since his days at the Academy he had | |||
been searching for a leather bound, orginal copy of Asimov's Foundation. | |||
He had it in several electronic forms and even had a paper version but he | |||
had long sought one of the orginal 500 year old copies to add to his | |||
collection. "Where?" | |||
Nabil paused as Bianca returned with the iced-tea. "Here on | |||
EPSILON, a friend of mind managed to acquire it and has been saving it for | |||
you. He has a little store down on the market level right near the Wall." | |||
"A book store on the market level?" He asked incredulously. | |||
"He does sell other items as well." Nabil answered with a | |||
conspiratorial smile. | |||
Zane rose from his chair and tossed the Vulcan dealer one of his | |||
purple chips. His excitement demanded he get teh book right away. Now he | |||
had something to truly look forward to on his shore leave. | |||

Scene: Just outside the Wall<br> | |||
MD:10.1900<br> | |||
"I can't believe you guys are scared to go in there for one little | |||
drink." Bat shouted in exasperation. "Look we'll go in, we won't talk to | |||
anyone, we won't look at anyone, we'll have one drink and then we'll | |||
leave. Its tradition! We've never been on EPSILON without having a drink | |||
here. Nothing happened last time." | |||
"I don't know Bat." Fuhrman, the transporter chief said. He | |||
wanted desperately to get promoted up from ensign and another barroom | |||
brawl didn't seem like a good career move. | |||
"Hmmphf. Well I'm going in myself you three can sit on the bench | |||
there and wait for me." With that Bat stormed into the bar. | |||
"We can't let him go in there alone." Mike Larocque said. | |||
"If something happens..." Barron added. | |||
"...he'll get killed." Fuhrman finished. | |||
"Ok one drink and then we leave and we carry him out if we have | |||
to." The three friends followed the old bartender in. Less than 50 fifty | |||
away the captain of the USS FEYNMAN exited from a small non-descript store | |||
and slowly began walking in the general direction of the Wall." | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Mike/Kevin/Kris: Well if your planning any fun in the Wall you've got | |||
four more participants and one more on the way! <BEG> | |||
