Casela nodded firmly to Surda as she and Durheim left. She looked at Raauhl, “Guess we’re going to the shuttle bay.” She turned to the door and headed down the corridor to a turbolift. Might be safe, might not. Not enough time left to decide. “Let’s go Fenrir.” And no time for being overly cautious either. She entered the turbolift, “Shuttle bay 2.” Rather than being agitated and overly alter she was still and quiet, a trait that usually got her the frightened looks from others. Was the thing Hampton, or just using his body? There had been no answer from the computer about the shuttle launching…she felt like they were missing something. =^=Synthi-er to Surda. I don’t know about you, but I feel like we are missing something. What caused all this destruction? We checked sensor logs for the orb, but we didn’t look to see what happened after, how the destruction to the ship happened. Maybe you and Durheim can get better logs from down in Engineering?=^=

She looked at Raauhl then, oopps…that was his call wasn’t it? Oh well. “Sorry Cmdr.” was all she said and then stepped out of the turbolift and towards the shuttle bay (OOC assuming our good StoryTeller let’s us make it safely on and off the turbolift)

=/\= Surda to Synthi-er. I hope we can get better data, but we may have to be content with never knowing. Something happened to this Hampton to warp him the way it did. =/\=
-Surda, CoS

=^=I just have this feeling in my gut, we don’t have the whole picture, that we are missing a HUGE piece. Maybe they already have it back on our Leviathan. I’m not even sure this IS Hampton and not some anomaly look a like. We’re at the shuttle bay now. Take nothing for granted my friend. Synthi-er Out.=^=

She glanced once at Fenrir to see if his sensors were picking up anything and then approached the shuttlebay, rather than entering she went farther down the corridor, and pulling out both her Mark VII batons and passed one to Ryder. He’d trained with the tonfas and this wasn’t any different. Except it had a button on the end that would allow the user to send out an electrical shock. She entered the shuttle bay control room to get a better look at the bay from the superior vantage point. She entered cautiously. There was no telling where “Hampton” might be.

The shuttlebay appeared vacant. In fact, the only thing out of place was the shuttle. Its engines hummed softly. They were activated and the shuttle was sitting in standby mode. The only other sounds being made were from the away team.

It was too easy, or maybe she was just paranoid after all these years. She scanned the shuttle bay. “Valkyrja.” There sat her shuttle, powered down and appearing to be untouched. If she could get safely to the shuttle she could let the HUEY system, aka Alfred, try to hack the other shuttle’s systems. “That might be the only safe piece of equipment on this ship. Unless Hampton has managed to hack my security overrides.” The man hated her, but the question was, had he bothered to try and hack her shuttle or not. It hadn’t been long since Bog had finished rebuilding her. “Fenrir, stay here, just in case.” If something went wrong, Fenrir would be their back up. Assuming Hampton didn’t have a horrible demise for Fenrir as well. Out of curiosity she clicked the communicator at her wrist to see if the Fenrir on this ship would show up as well. One click to summon. “You might have company if we’re lucky.”

She made her way from the shuttle control room and into the shuttle bay itself. She scanned the bay again, but again saw no one. She moved over to Valkyrja and placed her hand on the biometric reader, but the shuttle didn’t respond. She tried again with the same result and then with voice command. “I’m sorry, but you must provide verification. Bio readings for Lt. Synthi-er read as deceased.”

Bog! He’d set the HUEY to monitor her life signs. And now it thought she was dead. “Alfred, please scan my bio readings and then confirm that bio readings to Casela Synthi-er also show as deceased on the bridge.” She waited. “Confirm existence of second vessel off port bow as UUS Leviathan. Confirm connection with Shuttle Valkyrja and HUEY program on that secondary USS Leviathan.” Again she waited. “Scan with sensors and confirm temporal anomaly.” She waited letting the AI work through the problem. “Now scan bio readings, retinal scans, and confirm voice recognition.”

“Scans complete and confirmed. Access code required.” Rather than speak, Casela choose to input the codes manually. Never know when Hampton was watching and listening. The code was accepted and the shuttle opened. She stepped into the shuttle and over to the controls. “Alfred, one of the shuttles is on stand by. See if you can connect to it and shut it down.”

The only thing out of the ordinary was an unusual amount of plasma particles, but nothing lethal to lifeforms. The ALFRED began connecting to the shuttlecraft onboard systems. After several minutes, the ALFRED had connected, and was shuffling through the shuttle’s systems to disengage the shuttle’s systems.

Hampton stood on the bridge, debating his next move. He had developed a device that would overload the various weapons manhattan had, and had programmed it to be transportable, He figured it would probably overload Synthier’s wireless connections if he targeted them. He considered beaming into Valkyria, it would at least disrupt the connection. But Hampton only had one, and he was concerned about wasting it. He would need a fast escape though… He glanced down at his chronometer, twenty five minutes. He couldn’t afford to wait any longer. He beamed the device in and activated it. He cursed himself for leaving his get away vehicle so exposed, it had been one detail he had somehow overlooked. He slammed his hands on the console. He diverted power to the shields. Pulling it away from life support. Not low enough to kill them all, but there would be considerably less oxygen and cooler temperatures in the next few minutes.

He realized his hand was shaking slightly. He felt a feeling he had not felt in years. Fear. It was the fear of failure, fear of being captured. He had committed horrible acts of evil, if caught… He shook his head. He was not afraid, he had planned for this moment all of his life, this was his moment to break free from his past life, break free from the hollow shell of existence he had formerly occupied. All he had to do was get off Leviathan, one more time, and he could start his new life. He could be happy, he might even find purpose. He grabbed his bag, and pulled out a utility belt. He clipped the resonator and emp grenade on it. He grabbed his phaser and held it firmly in his hand. He closed his eyes for a moment. He was shocked by the amount of fear he felt. It was unacceptable, he shook his head, he called on an old friend to give him strength, confidence, and courage, anger. It poured into his soul once more. These were the pathetic people who had looked down on him, degraded him, ignored him, he was better than them and he knew it. He could defeat them all, he already had once, he could do it again. “Computer, activate program Hampton 1.”

ALFRED was nearly complete in its task, Synthier heard the distinct of a transporter beam. In a few moments, ALFRED was offline, as was the entire shuttle’s onboard systems. A second transporter beam sound echoed in the shuttlebay. If Synthier and Raauhl turned to see what it was they would see their old crewmate, standing behind them at some distance with a smirk, phaser in hand.
