Deep Space Guardian: Season II-Episode 26

-DSG, Corridor-

Russ nodded his head and laughed.

"I'd love to," He said, "But where could we discuss this? I'd rather not give always all my secrets in public."

A smile crossed his face implying it was a joke for the others. They simply continued on their idle chatter and walked away. His smile faded quickly.

"Sheep," He thought to himself, "All of them, mere sheep."

~ Corridor, Deep Space Guardian ~

"Oh, of course not. Otherwise your tricks would circulate through the underworld faster than dabo girls," Blake replied.

Blake could either take Admiral Russ to his quarters or his office. Either of those were very private and had access to any systems that he may need. Both of which he had dampening fields set up in, in case he needed to activate them for things such as secret communications or accessing the Section 31 database. Another trick he did was hacking the system and looping the sensors within either of those rooms to make it appear as if Blake was doing someone before he began his covert dealings.

"We could either head to my quarters or my office, Admiral," Blake suggested to the man, "Both of which are quite quiet and out of the public eye."

[Founder]

-DSG, Corridor-

Russ thought about it for a moment, or rather, pretended to.

"Your office will do fine." He said.

As soon as Blake began to move, Russ followed. His eyes darted around, looking for anyone that would see the two together. Not that it would be strange if they were. To many, it was simply two Starfleet officers walk. Nothing strange about that. But if people truly knew their nature, they would find both men to be highly dangerous...

-DSG, ANOTHER Corridor-

Ian returned the nod to Archer and turned his head as the security officer chatter with him. He noticed a fat man, humanoid, rushing down the corridor carrying something in his arms. Ian was no specialist but it looked like an Engineering item. He rushed after him.

"Jon!" He called, telling him to follow.

[Lord Borg]

DSG, Corridor With Ian

Archer looked to Shanna "Pardon me miss, Duty calls" Archer turned and took off following Ian. Archer ran in a brisk at first to catch up. "What's happining Ian?"

[Founder]

-DSG, Corridor-

Ian pointed to the man who was running as fast he could, not noticing he was being chased.

"That civilian has Engineering items," He explained, "Items that only Starfleet officers are allowed to have access to."

The man turned his head and saw them, yelping in the process. He screamed into his wrist just as Ian and Archer caught up to him.

"Get me out of here!" He screamed.

Ian grabbed his shoulder just as he beamed away, beaming him too in the process. Archer was beamed as well since his shoulder was pressed against Ian's shoulder.

[Lord Borg]

DSG Corridor

Archer's jaw dropped as he was about to respond when they were beamed away. When his vision became clear again, they were... not on the station. They were someplace...strange. Archer gasped as he looked around. What just happend?

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

The fat thief stumbled away from them as the two Starfleet officers regained their bearing. Ian looked around to see a cargo hold FILLED with various items, including the missing items from DSG. He saw literally a pile of stuff being categorized and placed in cargo boxes.

"All right," A familiar voice said, "Pack it up quick. We're leaving."

Ian turned his head and to his surprise, he saw Gorz standing there. an angry look crossed his face when he saw Ian and Archer.

"You fool Char!" He yelled at the fat theif, "Why did you bring them!?"

-DSG, Hazard Team Locker Room-

Jai Fren, a Betazoid and second in command of Merik's Hazard Team, walked into the locker room to find the team leader. He stood with his back against a locker, toying with a phaser rifle. No doubt setting it to the parameters he liked. Jai approached him and held a PADD to him.

"Hey boss," He said, "Starfleet just sent this message. Looks like we're going on vacation."

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer looked to Gorz with narrowed eys. He then noticed a box... before anyone could react, he opend it and grabbed to phaser rifles. He threw one to Ian and activated his and aimed it at Gorz. "This stuff belongs to us..."

[Omet'Ikilan]

-DSG Hazard Team Locker Room-

Merik raised an eye as he took the PADD from Jai. He quickly read over the words.

"Assemble the Hazard team, It looks like we've got a war to win" he said to the Betazoid.

[Founder]

-DSG, Hazard Team Locker Room-

Jai smiled and tapped his combadge.

"All Hazard team members report to the locker room," He ordered, "This is a direct order from Lieutenant Commander Nerul."

He looked at Merik and raised an eyebrow.

"You think they'll let us stop at Risa before we go?" He joked.

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Gorz smiled and lifted his hand.

"Cute." He replied to Archer's bravado.

With a flick of his wrist, the weapons flew out of their hands. He looked over at the others, who stood and watched in awe.

"Keep working!" He screamed.

They jumped and rushed about, continuing their work. The magician looked at the obese theif.

"You screwed up for the last time." He threatened.

A ball of fire appeared in his hand and he threw at the poor, fat man. It engulfed him as he screamed. Gurz turned his head, a twisted smile on his face.

"Now for you two..." He said.

He threw his arm backwards and then forewards, throwing another ball of fire. Ian shoved Archer out of the way and then dropped to the floor, narrowly avoiding it.

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer felt the heat from the..fireball. He noticed a cart near him. He pushed it towards Gorz, hoping it would at least distract the man if not knock him over. Archer rolled and jumped up and grabed a Hydrospanner and threw it at the man. Maybe one would hit him...

[Valathous]

~ Robitaille's Office, Security Office, Deep Space Guardian ~

Blake Robitaille and Admiral Russ arrived in the security office about 15 minutes later after a walk and turbolift ride. The two walked by several officer who stood up at attention due to the presence of the Admiral. Blake motioned for them to sit back down and return to their work. Blake reached his office door and punched in his access code. The two walked into the office and the doors closed behind them.

"Computer, seal the doors," he said as he walked over to his desk and began fiddling with a decoration on his desk, placing his comm-badge inside of it to ready the dampening field should they need it to access Section 31 files on the computer.

[Omet'Ikilan]

-DSG Hazard Team Locker Room-

Merik smiled and looked at Jai. "If you want to see Risa before we go, then I suggest you hit the holodeck" He said

A tall Bolian female walked into the room, followed by Twin Andorian males. They all came and sat on the bench set up in the locker room. Merik looked around,soon the room was crowded with people, Merik stood and looked at them all

"I have just recieved orders from Starfleet Command." He said in an authorative tone. "I am to assemble all of my Hazard Team and rendezvous with the USS Grail, in the Cazran System. We are to recieve full instructions as to our orders when we arrive there." He finished. "We leave in 3 hours, if you wish to get anything done before we go, do so now. Any questions?" he asked.

He waited for a minute then looked at the Betazoid.

"Meet me in the hanger in Exactly 3 hours. Dismissed."

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Gorz held his hand up and tossed the cargo box and the hydrospanner aside. He smiled and looked at the two captains.

"You'd be amazed at the things you can do when you can manipulate metals." He laughed.

Ian looked over at the spilled contents of the cargo box. It had been filled with bio memetic gel. Even ASKING for that could get you in trouble. It was obvious this...celebrity was getting his funds from illegals sources and not just shows. Gorz followed Ian's eyes to the contents.

"Curious captain?" He said, "Why would a rich, handsome, brilliant, and charismatic celebrity like me need to steal? Well, I didn't always start off as a great magician. In a universe where people have seen aliens do more incredible things than me, wealth is hard to aquire as a magician. So I started off small, with stupid species that had a lot of resources. Showed them magic, while stealing items from their planet. I sold it and became wealthy overnight. Its been a while since I've stolen from a station though. I love robbing stations though. You all have an abundance of everything. I just HAD to take it off your hands..."

Ian stood up and charged Gorz. The man mentally opend his palm and a green mist flew out. It wrapped around Ian and lifted him up. Ian struggled, but couldn't get out. It was up to Archer...

-DSG, Blake's Office-

Russ took off his combadge and laid it gently on Blake's desk. He looked at Blake, a cold look on his face. Blake had been a pupil of his and his star one. His determination and loyalty to the Federation was unmatched, save for few. The warm, old man voice of his dissapeared and the voice of a hardened soldier came through.

"We're done playing with these foolish Nautolians," He said, "We have all the information we need, but it's time to strike back. As you know, our informant needs to get out. Their time is up."

-DSG, Engineering-

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer used the distraction to ready himself. When Gorz was compleatly distracted, Archer launched himself into the man, tackling him to the floor. He threw a punch into the mans face. "Damn you!" Archer slamed his other fist into the mans face quickly, not giving him time to react.

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Gorz was unable to fight back as he was physically weak and Archer was not. He opened his mouth and hundreds of insects flew out, flying into Archer's face. Gorz rolled away while Archer was distracted, leaving Ian to hang in the air. Gorz clapped his hand's together, sending out a shockwave, knocking Archer backwards. Some of the workers flew backwards, in the way of the shockwave. Many of them retreated from the room, including his entourage, all of them in fear of his power...

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer groaned. He noticed that he landed next to one of the Phaser rifles. He picked it up, aimed, and fired at Gorz...

[Valathous]

~ Blake Robitaille's Office, Deep Space Guardian ~

Blake stared at the moment for a moment. He understood the gravity of the situation and the danger involved in such an extraction. Every single last detail would need to be sketched out perfectly. The Nautolian soldiers were far too powerful to allow for error, considering their energy and their laser swords that absorbed weapons' fire.

"This will not be easy," Blake stated, "Is it to be a solo mission or will there be a team? I'm assuming I'll be leaving under the guise of speaking at that security convention you mentioned earlier..."

Blake trailed off in thought. He had figured the informant would be in there longer, although it was getting dangerous and their life was getting more and more at stake.

"How much information did we recover?"

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer fired and the phaser beamed burned into arm, disentegrating it. Gorz laughed and it immediatly grew back.

"Stupid Federation," He mocked, "And their warning shots...."

He continued walking forward, a bright ball of energy growing in his fist...

-DSG, Blake's Office-

Russ sat down and folded his arms. He shook his head and smiled.

"No," He answered, "No solo team. No hiding. In fact, you and your shipmates will go to Nautolian space and retrieve the informant. In fact? You're all going to walk into a Nautolian ship, no hostility. Well...none that are predicted."

He eyed his combadge and the symbol of it. It stood for the UFP, for Starfleet. In an ironic way, he took off the icon of what he was seeking to protect.

"As for the information?" He replied, "So much that we predict the war won't make it past 6 months and Fito or Obsidian or whatever that idiot wants to call himself, will not make it out of this war alive."

He rose from his seat, a quiet sigh escaping his mouth.

"We're already predicting that the Cardassians will never be a major power for several decades after this and the Nautolians....the Nautolians won't be a problem. The Romulans will make sure of that. Thus, the balance that we uphold will be restored."

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer nodded sarcasticly, and adjusted the setting of the Phaser. Gorz looked at him, the energy ball getting bigger and bigger. He aimed at a Beam that was over Gorz's head. "This one isnt a warning.." Archer fired at the Beam's supports, which gave away. Why anyone would put a beam exposed like that, even for decoration was beyond him...

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

As the beam landed on Gorz, his body split in half. The beam fell in the center and Gorz reconnected, a wide smile on his face.

"Come on captain," He coaxed, "Tell me you can do more than that..."

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Archer sighed and stood. "Fine" He set the phaser down. "You, me, fist, no powers..." Archer removed his outer jacket. "You man enough?"

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

Gorz stared at Archer, cocking his head to the side in curiosity.

"Interesting proposition," He said, "But I'll have to decline."

He waved his arm and a cargo box slammed into Archer. Gorz would definitly not fight physically. Already his face was bloodied from the hits by Archer earlier. Gorz was not a physical fighter and quite cowardly without his powers.

"Why would I do that when I could simply kill you?" He asked.

Ian stared down, helpess and unable to assist Jon. He struggled to get out of the green gas, but it for a gas it was as hard as a rock. It gave Ian an idea. He thrusted his chest forward, pushing his combadge into the "gas".

"Xavier to DSG," He yelled, "DSG, RESPOND!!"

There were several moments of silence which greatly worried Ian. Finally, Jones responded to him.

"DSG here sir." He replied.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Beam captain Archer and myself off of Gorz's ship!" He ordered, "NOW!"

He waited for the familiar feel of the transporter but he felt nothing.

"I'm unable to get a lock sir." Jones replied.

Gorz looked up at Ian, now distracted from Archer.

"Shame on you captain," He said, "Calling for help? Now I'll have to kill you first."

He readied a fireball in his hand and aimed at the captain, not looking at Archer at all...

[Lord Borg]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

"Fine then" Archers foot came down on the butt of the phaser rifle, it flew up in the air and archer grabbed it. "Have it you're way" Archer took him, it was set on kill after he had adusted the power setting again before he set it down. Archer's finger squeezed the trigger and the phaser blast came out of the nozzel and towards Gorz

[Founder]

-Gorz's Ship, Cargo Hold-

The beam hit Gorz, disentigrating him immediatly. He cried out as his body burned away. The gas dissipated, Gorz's mind no longer controlling it. Ian dropped to the groun in pain and looked up at Archer.

"Ouch..." He muttered.

His combadge rang out.

"Jones to Xavier," Jones called out, "Please resond."

Ian tapped it, while still laying on the floor.

"Xavier here," He said, "I'm alright and captain Archer and I have solved the theft mystery. Send a security team to Gorz's ship. Xavier out."
