Mission: M8: The Kzinti War!!!!
:: The day that will live in infamy - Opening Attack of the War ::
[Starbase 24]
Observation for someone like Sara, was something that came natural for the Andorian Klingon. Yet, as she sat at the round table with her friends, she listened and studied their movements, down to the littlest gesture upon their face and hands as the threw out an oddly shape dice, yet, she herself, remained near ram rod still with an expressionless frown upon her lips, laughs roared out from each of them, as two of them picked up their pencils to jot down what, after the leader of this gathering informed of what had taken place. But, Sara, was plotting her next course of action, in this game in which she was apart of.
"...and as the Orcish horde give off their battle cry" stating a man behind a small card board divider, but was stopped when Sara spoke aloud.
"Has anyone made attempt against the Orc leader?" questioned Sara
Her brow arched upward as all eyes fell upon her, with a sigh as she leaned forward to grab the red oddly shape dice, that had numbers upon it that started with one and ended in twenty, she looked to the man behind the cardboard divider and smile.
"Well, DM, I am a ranger and well, I haven't shot anybody so far, might was well, press my luck and stick to what my character does best." Sara stated as she leaned back into her chair as began to rattle the small dice in her hand.
With a flick of her wrist, Sara'marbela, flicked open her fingers to let sail the twenty sided dice and let it roll on the table. Bounce after bounce, the dice rolled upon the table, until the dice hit the divider and slowly rolled itself back towards Sara. When the dice came to a stop, Sara, arched her brow as she shook her head at the number in which her fate of her character was now at the hands of the DM.
"Wow, Sara. A one, not looking good..." but the DM was briefly cut off, when the station rattle under their collective feet, which brought them to a stand and had them rushing to the assigned section of the station.
Moments later, as Har'Tar, entered into the Starbase sickbay, she was greeted with burn victims of every sort, of course, the station Chief Medical Officer, was doing they're bit, and issuing orders, the Andorian Klingon, help out were she could and quickly. Patching person after person, the station rattled again and a few moments later, the lights and the EMH were off.
Sara rose up onto her feet, and knew well enough that the ship was now dead in the water. With a smirk, upon her lips, as her hands balled up into a fist, her mind was awash with her plowing head long at the enemy and to die with honor while bring along a few of them with her to Sto-Vor-Kor, but, that notion was dash when the call came over the loud speaker to 'abandon station'
That remark, enraged the warrior with the Har'tar, but, her duties as a Doctor, over shadow her need to go into battle and die honorably. Kneeling down, she picked up two of the injured and helped them to the nearest escape pods, before, handing them over to the Corpsman and Medic, and dashing back to sickbay to help Evac other injured personnel. As time wore on, and the injured personnel were taking care of, Sara, had made it plainly clear, "That I shall be the last person to enter the pod", and when all were in good care and had departed the station, Sara, entered into the pod and left the station.
:: Currently ::
[Kzinti Warship – Revenge]
The fact that they had been left out of the current redeployment still angered the Commander as his ship patrolled empty space between the Klingon and what remained of the Federation starbase. They had passed by days ago..passing at a distance but they could still see the shattered remain and felt the pride in the revenge extracted on the Humans by their people.
But now while their forces gathered for an even larger and more glorious operation they where tasked with searching for humanoid survivors...female survivors that ‘might’ be in the area. Their task; to study the females to understand their sentients.
Their ancient history told that there females had once been so, but not that was no longer true. Some believed that it was a punishment by the gods, but others still maintained that the Kzinit had used alien technology to de-evolve Kzinti females into what they were today. One thing was certain though. They had underestimated the human females and that had been a major mistake.
Regardless of the events of the past he had his orders and he carry them out honorably. So far their catch had been more than expected. They came across small clusters of escape pods adrift still heading towards the nearest habitable planets in the area. The females had all been taken the males; the human males or those in Starfleet uniforms had been dispatched with hesitation. The males of other races so long as they were not with Starfleet had been left to survive on their own.
Last night the Senior researcher informed him that the research was going well. The dissections had revealed surprising results and while not yet complete were draw to a close. Soon the Kzinti scientists aboard would move onto other ‘observational’ research. “When we begin you should join us Commander, you might find the tests we’ve devised rather entertaining. Of course we could use more specimens…â€
:: The next day ::
A drift in Escape pod 73, Sara, was the senior most ranking officer, yet, she didn't stop caring for those on board, some of them, just mere children who left Starfleet just a few days ago, and were now packed into a small can like an Earth sardines. The warrior Doctor, peered out the small viewport while checking on a homing beckon.
[KWS Revenge]
“Commander, we are detecting another small cluster of escape pods.â€
Stepping from his dais to the console he look at the readings. “Excellent, our first catch of the day. Pilot alter course to intercept.â€
Looking back to the Lieutenant that had detected the pods. “Scan the pods. As usual number of life signs, how many females, race, & number of non-Starfleet.â€
“Scanning.â€
As the warship closed on the pods the Commander had his answers as he retook his seat on the command dais. “Commander, sensors detect 27 survivors; 12 female, 15 male. There are Human, Vulcan, Bajoran, Several hybrids, and a Caitian.â€
The Commanders hears peaked at that bit of information. “Caitian?! One of ours?â€
“Unknown.â€
“Bring them all aboard. Transport them to holding, females to the lab cage and send the male to pen for the arena chamber. It’s been a long mission. Time for some sport…Don’t you think?â€
The lieutenants teeth gleamed in a grin showing his approval. It would be a welcome diversion and allow the un-names of the crew a change to earn their names in battle. Not to mention the feast that would follow such an event.
[Escape Pods]
Sara's eyes grew wide, when she spotted an large vessel approaching them, of course, the Andorian Klingon knew little ship design and to whom that that design the ship, but, the warrior doctor knew from her years serving on the front lines for Starfleet and talking to those in the pod, that the ship had to be a Kzinti warship.
"vam ta'be' legh QaQ"(this doesn't look good) Sara stated distastefully towards the Kzinti ship "Hoch val, peta'Q"(Very Clever, add curse word here)
Once she spoken her words, the well, known tag of the transport beam gripped her body as it broke down her atoms to be whisk away to be reassembled on the Kzinti vessel.
[Holding Pen – Arena]
Heads darted around as the they materialized and several rushed to the cage door shaking violently calling for the women that were no longer with them. The only reaction as laughter from the huge, overly muscled, Kzinti guard. Laughter followed by a jab to the gut by a high powered stun stick. "Don't worry. We won't kill you...yet. "
As the men collapsed from the shock they cleared the guards field of view. One stood slowly as he took in the feliniod form along the fall wall of the cage. "YOU CAITIAN! COME HERE!"
[Holding Pens - Lab]
The lab guards turned sharply as the alarm signaling new arrivals sounded. They moved quickly as the females were transported in and the smell of fear was pungent. They were pressed forward a through the connecting tunnel to the labs primary hold cell.
Sara, made a quick pat down of her self and snarled at Kzinti, as she realized that her dagger and side arm had removed from her person, her anger boiled, but, knew well enough to wait, for she was out numbered and she had no way of escaping, and it dawned on her, that she and the others around her were all female.
'This isn't good' she thought as she and the others were pushed forward to who knows were.
As the women passed though each were stepped completely naked and as they entered the next cell a set of guards was there to gag and chain them by a neck collar to a spot on the wall. The current occupants had had their chain retracted into the wall so to secure them allowing the guards to work without interference.
One by one, each female was stripped of the uniform or clothing, and when the Kzinti guard placed his hand onto Sara, she gave the warrior a deadly stare and snarl of her lips as a soft growl escape her. She wasn't like the other Starfleet females, who were frighten and shocked at what was happening, Sara, just snarled and put up a small fight, before a few more guards helped their fellow Kzinti with Sara, stripped her of her uniform and underwear, strapped leg and wrist bracers upon her, as they gag her mouth before chaining up onto the wall.
[Command Deck]
“All captives aboard Commander.â€
“Very good. Return to our original cour…â€
“COMMANDER! The Death Wing and Claw Hammer both report that they have engaged a Klingon vessel that was hiding in the wreckage of the Federation Starbase. They believe it is the same vessel that the High Command has ordered destroyed.â€
`Finally some battle!!!,~ he thought to himself. “Sound Battle stations and set course for the Federation Starbase!â€
