Deep Space Guardian: Season II-Episode 29

[La Forge]

DSG, Sickbay

Juliana laughed at Hayes' joke. Jack had always been a funny guy. Juliana could tell you stories about his antics back at the Academy. However, she had more pressing matters than telling stories of old times.

"Those bloody Nautolians are a pain in the ass, all right. The Romulans aren't all that bad. In fact, there's one in my Sickbay right now. A half-Romulan, anyways. And, that's what I need to talk to you about, right now. I need your advice." Juliana asked, her tone of voice more somber and her expression more professional. "I have a certain Lieutenant Kiris Ditex in my Sickbay, right now. You won't believe this, but, his nerves are literally detaching themselves from the brain. And, there's no explanation for it! I've been considering...Well...I think you know what I've been considering. Nanoprobes. That's the only solution that I can see, in all of this...What do I do, Jack? You've always known what to do in situations like these. That's why I came to you..." Juliana explained to her old friend, hoping that he'd understand.

-DSG, Sickbay-

Hayes smile faded at that mention of a Borg technology.

"I know what you're thinking Jules," He said, calling her by a nickname he used, "But it's dangerous to do that. We have learned a lot from reports by the EMH of the Voyager, but we have deemed it promising AND dangerous. If even the slightest thing goes wrong, you can inadverdantly assimilate the patient. While we can reverse that, it is a painful process. You have to ask yourself. Do you REALLY want to do this?"

(Cue dramatic music)

DSG, Sickbay

Juliana thought about what Jack said for a moment, before slowly nodding her head.

"Yes, Jack...Yes, I do. You have to understand. If he doesn't get these nanoprobes...He'll die." Juliana explained, somberly.

(Haha, nicely done La Forge. We'll continue that in the next episode. The only thing that is left is to have Ian find out about the mission.)

-DSG, Corridor-

Ian bowed his head to Aia, not really having anything left to say. Although a part of him wanted to learn more about Fito and what had happened to him. Now was not the time though. He turned to leave and ran right into T'Sa.

"I'm sorry T'Sa," He said, noticing she was not fully Vulcan, "Left a little early?"

[Lord Borg]

-DSG, Corridor-

T'Sa didn't answer to that, she had, but was going to return.

"I...needed to speak with you. And Doctor Shoran, though she knows about the new mission."

She looked to Shoran, she was hesitant, but It was Ian....

"Doctor, I have been expeariencing some discomfort sense the events with the Bolian...."

She looked to Ian.

"Starfleet... they have asked us to do something once more."

[Founder]

-DSG, Corridor-

Ian stared at T'Sa, contemplating what she had just said. A new mission? Hadn't they survived the last one just barely? He shut his eyes in annoyance.

"What is the new mission?" He asked.

[Spellbinder Marik]

General Selas Office-Romulus

Sela had been going over the logs again. N�Tran was definitely up to something. Suddenly someone burst through the door.

�General, 43 vessels have just left Romulan space.�
�Under whos command?�
�Admiral N�Trans�
�I knew it. Send a task force to follow them. I want to know what they�re up to. I want to be notified immediately if they find anything.�
�Yes General.�

Admiral N�Trans Warbird

�They�ve no doubt detected us leaving the system by now sir.�
�Order the fleet to engage their cloaks.�
�You think it�ll help sir?�
�Not entirely, but they�ll find it difficult to track us.�
�What about the new tachyon scanner they�re developing?�
�I think they�ll find the design schematics have disappeared from their databanks.�
�You stole them?�
�Stole them? No. You might call it an extended loan. The Federation will likely find this data useful should they ever find themselves in trouble with Selas fleet.�
�What makes you think they�ll accept the data? Won�t they think it�s some kind of trick?�
�I�ll present the plans to Admiral Donatra, the Federation would trust someone they know better than me. Then if she finds them accurate and valid she�ll most likely present them to her Federation contacts.�

Home of Laura McKnight- Earth

Kiris should have called by now. He said he�d call after he got to his new post. He�s 3 days overdue. If He doesn�t call in two more days I�ll call them my self.

[Lord Borg]

-DSG, Corridor-

T'Sa looked down. She closed her eyes, trying to maintain control. Right now, her quarters sounded very nice.

"We have to take the new shuttle and fill it with trillithium."

T'Sa paused and gasped slightly. Just what was that? She shook her head and continued.

"We take the shuttle to a nautolian ship yard near our space, and attack it, when the 5th fleet will then come in and...'finish it off'"

[Founder]

-DSG, Corridor-

Ian stared at T'Sa in shock at the new mission. The odds of them getting out of that alive were slim. He couldn't disobey though. What did Melina call him? A "good boy"? That is what he was for Starfleet, always had been. He would be again now...

"Then lets suit up!" He ordered without any further hesitation.
