Takeshi nodded, "Thats good." He looked around sadly. "I am incompitent" he said suddenly, but blantly.

Aleia glanced over at Takeshi and put a hand to his arm, stopping him in his tracks.

"You are not incompitent. Don't say that." She eyed him angerly for a moment. " Never ever say that again, do you understand?"

[Lord Borg]

Takeshi looked back at her. He slowly nodded. "Ok...." He looked to the floor. "Crewman Michales died last night...." Takeshi swallowed. "The burns were worst then the EMH thought..."

Aleia looked at Takeshi.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But there was nothing you could have done about that, Takeshi." She watched him carefully for a few moments. "I'm here if you need to talk. I hope you know that. That's my job." She tried to lighten the mood a little.

[Lord Borg]

Takeshi nodded. "Thanks..." he sighed as they walked down the corridor again. He looked to her. "The Ironic thing is, this planet has never been seen by anyone from starfleet that we know of."

[Ziona]

"Really?" Aleia found this rather interesting. "We'll have to document it thoroughly then."

-Ark Royal, Corridor-

Jolar finished up on the EPS relay and decided to go to sickaby, against his better judgement. He wanted to see how Victoria was. Even though she was mixed with two of the weakest species in the Alpha quadrant, he still found her to be amusing. Not to mention, she did save his life. Jolar turned and walked into sickbay...

-Ark Royal, Sickaby-

Jolar walked in and saw the EMH, apparently a Mark I, standing at a console. He looked up in surprise at the Cardassian.



"Can I help you commander?" He asked.

Jolar hesitated and suddenly felt it was stupid for him to be there. This was not the behavior of a former Cardassian gul. He shook his head.

"No hypospray," He said, "You can not!"

He turned away and rushed back into the corridor. The EMH looked shocked.

"How rude..." He said.

-Ark Royal, Corridor-

Jolar sighed and headed towards the turbolift. He had more work to do and visiting "friends" was not going to help. There was no time for that at all. He stepped into the turbolift and called for main engineering. The lift immediatly moved towards its destination...

-Ark Royal, Main Engineering-

Jolar walked through the doors after rushing through the corridor. He was still very disturbed by what happened in sickbay. Him? Compassion? Jolar laughed it off. A Ferengi would marry a beautiful Dabo girl out of love and not oo-moox before that happened! He stopped and saw the large scope of engineering. The warp core glowed brilliantly.



Jolar shook his head in amazement. These ships were simply incredible and far more powerful than any Cardassian ship. He continued forward and tried to find the chief engineer, Reigns.

[Republican_Man]

Ark Royal, Bridge
Lieutenant Carth Onasi, still recovering from his massive injuries, sat in the Captain's chair of the bridge, in charge of it.
Normally he would remain at his post, as he felt comfortable there; however, this time he was still reeling from his injuries that all he wanted to do was sit.
The ship was in a pretty bad situation, particularly tactically. Many of his security officers had perished in the conflict and attempted suicide of the Captain--at least, from his perspective--and that hurt him greatly. He may not know the officers, but officers under his command dying hit him hard, regardless of whether or not he knew them personally.
The Lieutenant's goal, however, was to get the tactical systems online to the best possible level of efficiency. He didn't want to be a sitting duck in this quadrant, with enemies all about, and he wasn't about to make them suseptible to yet another alien attack.
But his anger especially lied at the Captain for doing just as he cautioned against: attempting suicide in a foolhardy attempt to return home. Now, as he had warned, they were in a far worse tactical situation than they were before--and that wasn't a good situation to be in.
Soon he would work to coordinate efforts with Engineering to bring tactical systems back up to a level as near optimal efficency as possible. They needed it.
But for now he just wanted to sit in the Captain's chair and relax for the time being.

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Mitch was laying on his back fixing a damaged console.

"The optical cables are fused" he mumbled. "Ensign, I need some optical cable" he said to a young ensign, the ensign handed him the cable and Reigns quickly connected it repairing the console. He stood up and saw Jolar looking around.

"Commander Nel!" He called as he ran around the warp core to see the man.

"Can I help you?" he asked

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar looked over at the engineer. The man looked like he had been working for hours on end. He motioned towards engineering.

"Actually," He said, "I wanted to know if I could help you."

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Mitchell looked at Jolar.

You know your way around our phaser cuplinks. I need a hand replacing them, they were fried in the last encounter with the Dominion." He said.

Mitch stopped for a moment to check the padd an Ensign handed him.

"Damnit, I need more engineers!." he said. "I dont have enough men working down here." He tossed the pad back to the man and turned to Jolar.

"Here, the replacments are over here if you'ld like to give me a hand."

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar nodded his head to Reigns and walked over to one of the phaser couplings. He took one of the replacements.

"I'm not familiar with the location of the installation..." He replied.

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

"Ok, just pull these two levers down and slide the cuplink over and pull the lever's back over. The hard part is re-callibrating them so they dont overload and explode when we fire the phasers. Thats what I need help with, I need you to tell me the when I get the "tunes" to match" he said, using engineering slang for frequency's.

Bridge
The Lieutenant, equally affected by the heat as was Saria, nodded at the Trill. He tapped his commbadge, stating, "Onasi to Takeshi. Captain, we are nearing the planet."
He hoped that whatever reason they were going to this planet for would yield good results.

[Lord Borg]

USS Ark Royal, Corridor

Takeshi tapped his combadge. "Aknowlaged Mr. Onasi, good work to all of you." Takeshi tapped a wall com panel for ship wide announcement. "All hands, this is the Captain. We're at the planet to gather recources. Food, planets, minerals that we might beable to convert for energy or other uses. Now, this is not a request or an order. I'm asking some of you to beam down. IF you prefer to stay on the ship, thats fine. But remember...we dont know when we can go to a planet again, anytime soon..." Takeshi closed the line and looked over at Aleia.

Mitch slid his hand down the screen, changing the frequency of the Phaser cuplinks.

"Hows that Commander?" he asked[/u]

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar looked at the readings on the console. Reigns had a knack for this thing obviously because on his first try, he got it.

"Perfect," He said, "You know, the Cardassians could have used you on our side during the Dominion war."

He chuckled, implying it was only a joke. The Cardassian knew that many Starfleet officers would get upset at the mention of the war, especially by him no less. Takeshi's voice was heard over the ship comm line. He looked down at Reigns.

"You going down?" He asked.

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Reigns smiled then looked at Jolar.

"Nah, spending time on an unexplored world isnt what I call shorleave." he said. "But, a nice relaxing game of Rugby followed by a few pints at Mic's is just what I need." he said smiling.

The Cardassian wasnt the most well liked man on the ship, he probably didnt have much to do.

"Would you care to join me?" he asked.

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar smiled and thought about the offer for a moment. He liked the chief engineer, mainly because he did not act like a stuck up Starfleet officer. Reigns may have made a good Cardassian soldier during the Occupation, although he would certainly not tell him that. He would have liked to go for the drink, but this was no time for play. The ship was heavily damaged and needed immediate attention.

"Any other time I would," He said, "But the ship is in dire need of resources. I should go down to the planet and help. Besides, the captain and I made up the list of things for you to repair. I know you won't be in the holodeck or the mess hall for some time."

He gave a curt nod and laughed.

"Good day lieutenant Reigns." He said.

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Mitchell laughed at Jolar's comment.

"All right, at least I'll be kept out of trouble" he said.

Jolar turned to leave when Mitch grabbed a picture out of his office droor. No one had seen the picture before. Mitch smiled at the picture then looked to Jolar.

"Commander!" he called. "Hang on for a second"

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar stopped when Reigns called to him. He turned around and noticed he had a picture in his hands.

"Yes?" He asked.

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Reigns stood and looked at the picture for a minute then back to Jolar.

"This is a picture of my wife." he said "Cardassians killed her during the war." he said, he extended his hand giving the picture to Jolar. Jolar's facial expression changed to almost shock.

The picture was that of a beutiful Cardassian woman.

[Founder]

-Ark Royal, Engineering-

Jolar could only stare at the picture in wonder and shock. Also, a mix of confusion. This women was absolutely stunning, especially to any Cardassian male.

"I don't understand," He said, "Why would my people kill her?"

[Omet'Ikilan]

-Ark Royal, Engineer-

Reigns stood in silence for a minute before responding.

"Your people killed her because of me. Because she married a human and refused to leave me." he said. "She was murdered because she stood up for what was right. You remind me of her Jolar."

Reigns didn't know how Jolar would take this. But it was true, that was the reason Reigns liked him. Jolar was a reminder of his past.
