Drudoc spoke, “..You are attacking and kidnapping a Starfleet ship and crew member! You surely know this won’t stand!”

”..Of course not my dear Romulan. We fully expect you or someone in Starfleet to mount one of your heroic rescue missions! But that will be to rescue your lost member, at which point me and my crew will be long gone and secure from your reach..” He said glancing at Starr again.

It was at this point a chirp came from a comm badge for the leader. =/\= We’ve secured the target, and are ready for beam out....=/\= the gruff male voice said.

=/\= Excellent, proceed as planned I will finish up loose ends here. =/\= he said.

Simon looked directly at the masked figure, trying to work him out. Something about the voice. “Is that really what you want, to be out of reach? Anybody that you want to know that?” he asked, glancing directly back. Simon made it obvious in the way he spoke that the voice was familiar, in some way, especially to the masked figure himself. He looked into the mask for a moment, almost like trying to get a read on the figure. And testing the waters. It was a look Simon was all too familiar with receiving from his father. A look that questioned his decisions, a look that showed concern and worry about the outcome of the path he was on, and one he learned as a warning sign. Whenever Simon was about to do something stupid, the look he was now giving the figure was what he would recieve. He knew he wasn’t the only one to recieve what he and his brother jokingly called ‘the look’. He waited to see how the figure reacted.

“Hey Number One.” Guy called him whispering “do you know this piece dude?” He asked trying to keep Miz’uki stand and still with a grunting voice as his usual.

The masked figure didn’t answer Starr, just returning his look with a steeled eyed tone. Then something seemed to give inside and he looked away. “..Alright we got what we want Captain. Now I know you’re first desire is going to be to jump to the rescue of your crew mate. Let me give you advice.....don’t. It’ll only bring more trouble then its worth. But just looking at your face I can tell it is falling on deaf ears..” he said, the man’s back for a moment faced to Starr. Raising a comm unit to his mouth he said, “..Beam us out..”

Miz’uki had collapsed in the center of the bridge her knees were under her the rest of her legs sticking out to the sides her tail was sticking up in the air the fur on the tail standing up showing her fear she was still staring at the Insectoids Her chest was tightening even more she could not breath gasping for air frantically the fur on the back of her neck and even down her back was standing on end tears were welling up in her eyes she once more felt the crawling sensation under her fur and skin it felt like large bugs were moving around inside of her she kept trying to catch her breath but she was clearly still having trouble at catching her breath

“Oh holy cowy!” Guy gasped. Then he looked for the masked figure and returned immediately to see if Miz’uki was ok “What now Officer?!” He asked angrily to Miz’uki “these insects are not anything that may harm a human or even a caitian! See they are so innocuous and…” he stopped suddenly “Yeah. Disgusting. But you see, until they do not say it is venomous why have fear of them?” He lowered his tone petting Miz’uki’s fur to calm her down.

Simon had the briefest of moments to decide what to do. He had been analyzing the room for this split second moment. As the figure turned his back, Simon looked toward his chair. He hoped he would never have to use it, but the situation definitely called for it. He had positioned himself within arms reach, after all they were told to gather in the center of the bridge, and all Simon had to do for that was stand up. He put his hands down, almost in a sign of giving up, when in reality he made his hand land on the open button, and was much more deliberate than he made it look. He reached inside and pulled out a phaser, before jumping toward the figure and attempting to grapple him, phaser pointed at his back, and attempted to place the figure between him and the insectoid creatures also on the bridge.

OOC: rolls some dice :P

Since Starr took the time to grab his phaser meant he was armed as the last of the intruders including the masked figure began to be beamed away. His attempt to grapple succeeded but in the opposite way he probably expected as he too got beamed away by the retreating intruders.

It was right then a message was received, =^= Ensign Bennet to bridge. We had intruders. They took a child hostage. But released her. Everyone is ok here. They just beamed out after claiming they took Doctor Suder.=^=, Catt’s voice sounded shaken but the tone was soft and soothing in a I don’t want to alarm someone tone.

Ensign Catt Bennet. Sciences (Who’s timing is always the worst.)

On screen the Orion wanderer’s cloaked again and a brief flash of the ship’s going to warp was picked up before it faded away.

Drudoc moved quickly as the last of the intruders left. =/\= Understood Ensign, our intruders up here also just left, secure all stations and return to your posts. =/\= She said.

Switching channels and also addressing the bridge crew, as she found internals scans showed they were free of the intruders, =/\= Attention all hands secure all stations and send any damage reports to the bridge in two minutes. All departments I want a full assessment report in that same time on ship status. =/\= She said. Anger was clear on her features that someone had so easily boarded her ship and then gotten away with one....well technically two of her crew. The fact then they knew and expected them to follow was no doubt meaning they would walk into a trap once they would get clues on where they enemy had gone.

Turning to Lt Jones, “..Get me a full internal security scan double check that we’re free of enemy boarders. Then once we’re cleared begin a scan to pursue those Wanderers. They often use second hand cloaking devices try scanning along a low band EM range for stellar dust distributed by passing plasma emissions..” She said.

Turning then to Lt Froge, “..Get me a full scan of the region they cant expect to drop off such ‘hot’ cargo like a Starfleet officer within Federation space, so they must have a hidden base of operations or ship to ship meeting point somewhere nearby..” She said.

Turning then to Miz’uki, “..Get me a full status of all ship systems and then run a full diagnostics. I wouldnt put it pass them to have performed some kind of sabotage to slow us down from pursuit.” She said.

Finally turning to Trainor. “..Open a channel to Starbase 243, priority one. I need to speak to the base Commodore ASAP..” She said.
