Episode Two: Role Reversal

[Lt Sarah Hunter]

"Aye sir we are tied in and ready to go" She said tapping her console.

[Captain Valdora]

He looked down at the navigation console as one of the warbirds came into range as the Romulan one came in behind.
"Wait for it....." he said in a steady voice "fire!"

[Lt Sarah Hunter]

Without a word sarah tapped her console and fired the torpedos and phasers.

[Lt. Hikari Makoto]

She sat in her office still as the ship rocked, her team of specialists having tapped into the Reman comms as well, before one of them turned and spoke to her, "Ma'am, we've found something." "Isolate it." "Roger, seems that the Remans want to capture the Enterprise and its crew and use them as a bargaining chip to gain the upper hand against the Praetor, who's friendly to the Federation. Seems like they remember the Nemesis incident, ma'am." "Put it on a padd please." "Working...done." "I'll be back, maintain the lockout, also I heard over the comm channels that there's intruders on board, arm yourselves." "Yes ma'am."

With that, she grabbed a side-arm and disengaged the lock long enough to run out, heading to the turbolift. "Enterprise, Deck 1" "Understood." The turbolift rushed upwards then she ran out, slightly flustered, "Captain!" when he turned to face her she ran up next to his chair and whispered the information into his ear, then took a step backwards.

[Lt Andrew Figueroa]

The Ensign began to fiddle with his standard issue phaser pistol. The Enterprise has engaged the Reman. He was not having it easy as this was his first actual engagement on a starship. He didn't like the feel of the phaser in his hands, it was so unlike the simulation it scared him.

"Ensign? I am getting some weird readings." a crewman at a nearby science terminal broke him out of his trance.

He and a few crewman were stationed at the science lab to interpret and understand any and all sensor data received from other stations. The Lieutenant was stationed elsewhere and he was left in charge in her absence. It occurred to him as he approached the console he was not the only one worried. He took a look at the sensor data, it appeared to be a sort of spacial or data signal originating from the Reman ships. It's path lead directly to...

"Transporters. Damn, they are trying to board the ship."

He quickly reached for his communicator but just as he open the com-link two columns of light began to form, two Reman soldiers were all ready inside the lab.

"Intruder Alert!"

He shouted as he grabbed his sidearm from it's slot. Knowing full well he would only have time to take down one before the other retaliated he fired directly at a power conduit just behind the two figures. The resulting explosion took out the intruders but left the lab under emergency power.

"Begin Lock-down procedure, secure all consoles." More phaser fire emitting from the lab's entrance. Someone was trying to break in.

"Evacuate, head straight for the Jeffry Tubes." He was the only officer on deck with a weapon and knew a firefight would be suicide. Just as the last of the crewmen entered the tube the front door busted open. Thinking of his fellow shipmates he sealed the hatch with his phaser from the outside. He turned around just in time to see one of the Reman soldiers fire his weapon at the poor Ensign.

The world soon became dark.

OOC: He's not dead just stunned.

[Major Randall Gordon]

OOC: One is Rosamund, Two is the NPC, Three is Faith.

The small Marine fire-team headed into the turbolift. "Where to, sir?" a Sergeant that people called Gaz said, "The tricorder detects an attack on the Science lab, we're going there first." "Yes sir."

The doors opened onto the deck, and they stepped out, kneeling to cover. "Clear, Team, on me." Gordon said, as they moved down the corridor. "Hallway clear, move up." "Movement ahead." "Weapons free." The fire-team took down the small Reman group quickly, then moved up to the Science lab door. "Stack Up." "One, Ready." "Two, Ready." "On my mark," He said, taking out a flash grenade and throwing it in, letting it go off, "...Go!" The lab was breached, One clearing left, Two clearing right, while Gordon took down one Reman with a KEW burst, having carried both of his kits, and Three took down the final Reman with a very powerful punch and choke-hold. "Area Secure, we have wounded friendlies." Two said, before Gordon nodded and looked at his team medic, "Doc, check them out, if you can't stabilize here, transport them to Sickbay, we need to keep moving. The rest of you, defensive perimeter until the Doc's finished."

[Captain Valdora]

Valdora pulled his head back after hearing the information from Lieutenant Hikari.
"More is going on then they are telling us" she said is a hushed tone, thinking for a moment before being knocked out of thought by the ship rocking again from weapons fire, sparks flying from the secondary science station across the bridge.
"Keep monitoring Lieutenant" he ordered and spin his chair back to face the screen, watching just as the second Reman warbid exploded.
Valdora nodded in satisfaction and watched ahead as the Romulan ships chased the other until is cloaked in retreat.
He sat back with a sigh and pressed his chair arm com.
"Lt Hunter, Major Shepard report. The intruders are alone, get all reinforcements and capture as many alive as possible."
He closed the line and turned to the communications station.
"Hail Commander Jo'rek."

[Lt Jack Hunter]

Jack makes his way from the armory and he goes into the turbolift. "Deck 16" He said as the doors closed and the turbolift began moving. He knew he only had a few moments to ready his weapons so he put the strap on the phase rifle and put that over his shoulder and pulled out his phaser. The doors open and he steps out makes his way down the corridor and rounds a corner when a phaser blast hits the wall next to him. He goes back around the corner and starts opening fire on the Remans. He taps his Comm after shooting a reman "Hunter to Shepard. They are on deck 16. I believe they are trying to take main engineering. I could use some help" He said as he continued to fire on the Remans.

[Doctor Faith Nomonor]

After dropping the Reman... who looked so alike to their Romulan kin... she wandered over to the stunned ensign... checking his life-signs and body structure for irregularities and damage... taking her time as she fully examined Figs, occasional looking to the door he had sealed with his phaser, which had been discarded against the wall when he was stunned.

After a few minutes and the gathering of his phaser... she administered a stim to counter-act the effects of stun through a hypo-spray... standing up and at least making the attempt to unseal the doors, digging her claws into the melted metal as she pries at it... giving the ensign time to recover so that she wouldn't have to carry him.

The room was otherwise empty other than the unconscious and dead Remans that she checked and tagged for having been killed and having died. She holstered the Ensign's phaser and got ready to carry him if he couldn't get back up in time.

"Keep casualties low, highest stun for phasers." she rasped out to gordon,

"We want as many alive as we can for their side of the story..." she affirms with a reason as she watches the Ensign to see if he stirs... or if she has to administer more care for how much stun they used on their disruptors.

[Major Randall Gordon]

"Roger that." he said, before noticing two of the remans were still alive, albeit injured. "Doc, looks like we have two prisoners here, administer enough care to keep them alive, then-" his combadge crackled to life with the Security Chief's request for backup. "Get ready to move out in two, the Security Chief needs some reinforcements."

[Doctor Faith Nomonor]

She sighed as she lifted up the Ensign... all the the computers in the room powering down as she made sure to check the Reman's vitals... administering one a Hypo, the one that took the most injuries, the other would have ti live until the battle was over as she proceeded down the hall first, administering another Anti-stun Hypo to the young man just in case... he would help them once he awoke, she wasn't leaving him in a room where the Remans could take a captive.

[Lt Andrew Figueroa]

The Ensign began to stir, his head pounding with pain. Being stun was never pleasant. He look up to see himself being carried by Doctor Faith and two other Marine escorts. A sensation of relief knowing he was in good hands and not dead.


"What happened?" he asked trying to reconnect with the world around him.

The Faith explained lightly of the rescue which jogged the Ensign's memory. The attack was fast, not enough time to think. Before he could ask another question he was placed in a Jeffery's tube to hide out away from the action. The stun effect was still hindering the Ensign, memories of the Academy came back. Moments of being used as stun practice by the combat professor was dominate. He was use to starfleet standard stun levels but the Reman had a higher kick to it.

Moments passed and the thoughts of the other crewmen from the lab ranged through. He got up forcefully and transverse the tubes hoping to find his people.

[Major Randall Gordon]

"Lieutenant." Two reported, "Friendlies coming up from the turbolift." "Roger that, hold fire." he said, as a Security team entered the room, "What's the situation?" "Two prisoners, Science lab is secure, no data was taken from the computers, we think that there may be more friendlies inside the Jeffries tube, but the Ensign sealed it shut." "Roger that, we've got it here." "Doc, transport the Ensign to Sickbay for further care, we've gotta go."

After that they went to the turbolift shaft to find it had been called elsewhere. "Open the doors." "Roger sir." Two opened the doors with his tricorder, small hooks coming up out of the floor where the doors open and shut. "Hook up." The team hooked up with reinforced ropes, and proceeded to rappel down the shaft until they got to Deck 16. "Door's shut sir, can't open it." One said, and Gordon looked over at the Doc. "If you please?" The strong Cai'nari slowly opened the doors, and once the opening was wide enough two smoke grenades went through the opening and went off, covering the doorway from view as the door was finally pried open as they breached through it. "Switch to heat vision, Reman profile." They moved slowly, hiding behind a corner as they turned off the heat vision and Gordon peeked his head out to see a firefight between Remans and Security officers. He turned back to the rest of them and pointed two fingers at his eyes before holding up four fingers, then pointing at One and Three and bringing his left hand over his neck in a cutting motion. Then he pointed at Two , and imitated the motion of throwing a grenade, then put his hand over his eyes, indicating a flashbang.

Then he whispered over the comm channel, "Stand by...Go!" Two popped out from around the corner and threw a flash bang into the Remans, then he popped out from behind the corner and threw a fragmentation grenade, which exploded in the middle of them while they were blinded. One and Three then stood up from their places and moved in, subduing the Remans and tagging them for transport to the Brig, and they disappeared a moment later, having injuries, but being well enough to live.

[John]

OOC: as a note the major is on the bridge.

IC: "Lt. Hunter, i will be there as soon as i ca- EVERYBODY DOWN!" Shepard replies as he sees a grenade sail through a door onto the bridge. The grenade sends out a flash of light sound and kinetic force, a primitive sort of stun weapon, but effective. Most of the bridge crew is dazed or knocked out, the marines have no such problem as their armor protected them. As four remans stride onto the bridge thinking it secure they are fired upon by Shepard and the other marines. The first four go down in smouldering heaps but the next four take cover and begin to exchange fire with the marines and bridge officers who manage to fight through the haze and return fire.

[Captain Valdora]

Valdora turns in shock at hearing the Major call out and turns just in time to see a flash of white light. His eyes and skin burn for a moment from the ultraviolet light touching him and then his begins to grow faint, falling from the commander chair to the floor.
