Sharah dropped the probe to the tricorder she was holding. The clatter drew Ilena’s attention a scant second before Sharah moaned and began to shake.=/\=Fayth to Ivan=/\= There was no answer. She moaned this time the shaking increasing “Sharah, what is it?”
Sharah’s black eyes shown with fear at Ilena. Mika! Mika! Where are you? We’ll send help. I’m here.
=/\=Fayth to Ivan, respond please.=/\= Still no answer. Sharah couldn’t not do something. It took her precious moments to seek out Sean’s essence. She wasn’t familiar with him. She paused and hesitated. She shouldn’t she couldn’t.
Sharah you can, it’s okay. You can save her life. Ilena felt the horror and fear rush through the doctor and could hear her thoughts. She knew how afraid Sharah was, but her gift was made for this if nothing else.
Another wave of pain shook her and Sharah became resolved. Sean! Fayth’s voice sounded in his mind, She’s awake. He’s HURTING her!
~ Sharah (written by Capt Kelpie)
Séan was moving around the streets and alleyways of Oed with Thyr as a psychic intrusion and voice sounded in his mind which caused him to stagger. He went down to one knee to catch himself as he struggled to keep his mind from spinning. Who had spoken into his mind? It sounded familiar but the suddenness caught him off guard. Wait, that was Sharah. So the ‘her’ she was referring to must be Mika! Hoping that Sharah was still linked with his mind he directed his mind towards her, We’re looking for Tandra now! Narrowed it down to a district of the colony but having a hard time find her exact location.
Counselor Iven
There was no response for a moment. She’s underground, there is a heavy metal door. No windows, she can’t hear anything from the outside. Then she gave him a description of the man as best as she could pick out from Mika’s thoughts.
Lt. Cmdr. Fayth, SFCMO
Thyr paused and gave Séan a weird, but almost… concerned look when the man staggered and knelt. “What’s the problem?” He asked, turning toward Sean. “Not to belittle your pain, but we don’t have all day.”
~ Thyr
Séan spoke through gritted teeth. “Dr Fayth… reached out psychically to tell me Lt Mika is in immense pain. Likely being tortured.” He grunted with physical and mental effort to get back to his feet. “We need to hurry before we’re too late.”
Counselor Iven
“Sounds like we already are,” Thyr replied grimly. “Did the telepath give you any kind of hint to where to look?”
~ Thyr
Séan shook his head just as grimly. “Just that we’re in the right area but no exact coordinates. She did say though that Mika was in an underground room with a heavy door. A reinforced basement maybe? How many of those are in this district?”
Counselor Iven
Shivan frowned. “It’s probably custom made. Not much other reason to reinforce your basement like that.” He thought for a moment, “Look for buildings with signs of being renovated and buildings that look like they have a basement, air vents, windows, anything like that near the base of the building.”
~ Thyr
Séan nodded in response as a little bit of hope glimmered in his eyes. “We’ll find you Tandra.” He whispered to himself as they continued the search.
Counselor Iven
They kept looking around that part of the city, until they came across a building. It was a regular looking building with open curtains, but an Andorian passed by the window - it was quick, just a moment, but Séan might recognize him - he’d been seen in the psych wing at the hospital.
~ Thyr
Séan did his best to not react to either the building or the person he saw. Instead he signalled to Thyr and kept walking past. When they were out of sight he stopped and turned. “I think we’ve found it. Very briefly I saw someone walk past the window who I recognize from the hospital. I know that in and of itself isn’t actionable intelligence but I think it’s the best we’re going to get.”
Counselor Iven
Shivan blinked. “Alright, well, I’m gonna go in there weapons blazing, so if you’re wrong…” He gave Séan a look. “Are you sure about this?”
~ Thyr
A look of hesitation flitted across Séan’s face. He sighed then nodded his head. “Like I said it’s the best chance we have and we may already be too late. On the chance that I am wrong however no killing blows. If nothing else than to keep a murder investigation from blowing your cover but more importantly for me I don’t want us killing innocents.”
Counselor Iven
Shivan scowled, “I’m not a complete monster, you know.” He said. “Okay, I’ll go in first, you stay back.” He eyed Séan, “Yes, you’re Starfleet, but you’re a counselor.” He sighed a long sigh, “I’m not letting you get hurt.”
~ Thyr
“I’ll stay behind you but I’m not staying back. You came with me at my request so I’m not letting you take all of the risk.” Séan said as he took out the knife he’d brought along. “I’m right behind you Thyr. I got your back.”
Counselor Iven
Shivan hmphed with a small nod. Then he went up to the door, drew his own knife, and kicked in the door. “Where’s the counselor?”
~~ Thyr
Séan followed Thyr into the building while his eyes tracked for threats. He saw the Andorian come around on Thyr’s blind side and prepared to swing something heavy at him, so Séan dropped a shoulder and rushed the man. The tackle knocked the wind out of the Andorian and left him collapsed against a wall but all of the ruckus brought out three more people and one was armed with a disruptor pistol.
