Posted by Gamemaster Budgie (Gamemaster) in Melania IV- Arrivals and parting of ways
Xekeer had been on the bridge since leaving the Brig. He smiled to himself, things were going oh so well. He had been surprised to discovered that Suta and T’Bob had inadvertently captured a runaway slave. Yes, this day was turning out very well indeed. He almost chuckled with how easy it had been to captured the crew and get away unscathed. Starfleet fools, always far too trusting. He thought to himself as he prepared for the arrival of the ship. He turned and saw T’Bob and Suta grinning to each other almost celebrating.
“Calm. There will be time for celebration later. We’re almost back to base. T’Bob send a comm to the Admiral, tell him we’ve got the incentives he asked for. Suta, send an urgent message to my friends, tell them I’ve got a...... gift. One that they will want to receive urgently. They have operatives nearby, tell them to meet us when we arrive in an hour.” Xekeer ordered with a sly smirk. T’Bob and Suta nodded and carried out the orders. Things were looking up indeed. He steepled his fingers as he sat and waited patiently for their arrival.

An hour later the ship arrived at Melania IV. Xekeer had past the time almost daydreaming about the next phase of their plan. He looked out of the viewer and smiled. The cargo ship was waiting. He clapped his hands together and tyring not smile he stood. He took a moment to compose himself. He turned to Suta.
“Hail the cargo ship.” Suta obeyed.
“Xekeer to Cargo vessel. Please respond.” The Cargo vessel responded and a burly Orion man popped up on the screen. He had a scar going down from the corner of his bottom lip diagonally to his jaw line giving him a menacing appearance. He was bald but had a close cropped beard. He was broad shouldered and thickset. He was muscular and chose to go bare chested. He had scars all across his torso.
“This is Lokhar.” He responded in a deep voice. Xekeer smiled.
“Thank you for coming so quickly. I have someone of interest. Someone you’ve been searching for, for a very long time.” Lokhar, looking bored up until that suddenly leant forward.
“You mean you’ve......You’ve found her” He replied. “Give her to me now. She’s mine.”
Xekeer smiled “And you shall have her. I gather you have payment?” Lokhar nodded in response.
“Well then. Lets get this sorted. Have your crew beam over and we’ll deal with transfer.” Xekeer replied. Lokhar nodded again and disconnected the comm. Xekeer and and 5 other soldiers left the bridge and headed for the brig.

5 Minutes later they arrived. The 6 of them. Xekeer strode towards Dradvia’s cell.

“Don’t defend me Conway. Stay out of the way, and stay alive.” Dradvia told him.

“You.” He pointed at her. “Get up. We’ve arrived at our destination.” Without waiting for a response the forcefield was shut off and 2 soldiers stepped in hauling Dradvia to her feet. The remaining soldiers pointed rifles at Conway to keep him in line. The forcefield returned the instant Dradvia crossed the threshold.

Dradvia got off a few solid attempts at fighting back as they grabbed for her. She didn’t care if they shot her. It was preferable. She struggled until she was yanked off her feet and dragged out of the cell. She didn’t bother screaming.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back for the rest of you shortly. I have a deal to uphold.” Xekeer stated as Dradvia was hauled out of the Brig.

Dradvia was practically dragged through corridor after corridor of the ship towards the transporter room (OOC: assuming Romulan ships have one- correct me if I’m wrong). Where 5 Orion Syndicate pirates stood, all armed to the teeth. They all looked at Dradvia and she was bustled in. They stepped forward as one and dropped a sack of gold latinum on the floor and grabbed Dradvia heavy handidly.

11 people all bigger and stronger and armed. There was no point in fighting. Not here.

“There’s your payment. Lokhar is most pleased. We won’t be forgetting this.” One of the Orions replied with a smile. With that they dragged her to the transporter pad and beamed over to the cargo ship. Dradvia was gone.

Ice chased down from her head and time slowed. Lokhar? She recognized the insignia the guards wore. No. No he was dead! As they reached for her she rought like a wild animal. “NO! NO!” She was backhanded by a guard and she collapsed as another caught her and hauled her onto the pad.

Stars danced before her eyes and she tasted blood in her mouth. Sisnil, save me.

Xekeer then turned on his heels as a soldier picked up the sack and he headed back to the brig. He entered with the 5 soldiers, Dradvia wasn’t with them.
“Ah my friends, its good to see you all again. I apologise for that little interruption. Romulan business you see. Very important.” He explained almost jovially.
