GESB: Operation Time-Cops

[Chad32]

<No! Don't have her shoot me!> Derrel says. Then Myitt shot, and he felt some hot pain before his body went numb. <I hate...this...> He said before losing consciousness.

Sukohn looked on with little expression on his face.

[Terenia]

Derrel's body slumps into unconsciousness, leaving Zorish to sigh inwardly. He has spent far more time than he would like in this limbo-like state in the past few hours. At least this last time I lost consciousness on my own terms, he thinks with satisfaction, glad to have made their lives a little more difficult.

Tamora lets out a squeak of protest just before Myitt pulls the trigger, but the sound is lost in the energy discharge of the Dracon Beam. In her current position she cannot see Zorish, and she twists her head, struggling to find an angle where he is visible, but she cannot.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin watches on as poor Derrel is stunned by Myitt's dracon.  <Such a winning personality that Yeerk has.  Hopefully we'll be able to sort things out here soon enough.  Claxter, help secure the poor human that Zorish has infested.  Energy binders are fine, I'd rather have him outside of whispering distance of Tamora.  I'm going back to check on our progress.>

Ossanlin trots back to the flight-deck and checks on the z-space configuration.  They were still a couple standard hours away from the bar.  He sighs inwardly.

[Chad32]

Claxter entered the room with everyone else and took some energy cables for restraining Derrel. He strapped him to the second unused bed, and made sure he was out of easy whisp[ering distance of Tamora. After doing that, he turned to Myitt with an apologetic expression on his face.

<I don't suppose you are still angry with me for leaving you on the floor?>

[Myitt]

Myitt pauses, distracted, before turning to Claxter.  "Yeah, I guess I can forgive you," she says with a bit of a smile.  "You've already been reamed out by your superior officer, I know how that is.  Not to mention Alic gave you plenty of bruises for the both of us.  Just...think before you act, okay?  This isn't a game, it isn't a simulation, and people could get seriously hurt or die because of your stupidity."  She gestures to her side, even though Sukohn's shot hadn't really been Claxter's fault.  "That includes Yeerks who have been left to dry up on the floor, thank you very much."

[Chad32]

<Yes. I will take things more seriously from now on. I had no idea Humans could kick without falling down. It should be hard enough to maintain balance as it is without using your legs in attacks. I suppose Zorish somehow tricked the human into putting Zorish in his head.>

"I don't suppose anyone has any Kandrona here or at the bar for me to use?" Sukohn asked. "I'll need to feed too."

<Or we could decide to simply execute you, as you serve little use for us alive.>

"If you guys were going to kill me, you would have done it already. If you aren't, then I'm just saying I'm starting to get hungry."

[Alic]

Alic still watched in silence, glad to have one of the yeerks to where they couldn't speak. Quiet would be nice right now. She was about to reply to Claxter with a sarcastic remark, but let Myitt answer for herself. Fine. They could all forgive him, maybe Ossanlin put him in his place, but Alic wouldn't trust him.
Important matters seemed to slip from his thoughts too often.
<Humans are actually pretty good in physical combat when trained properly. It's fun to do, and amusing to watch.>
She turned her stalk eyes at Sukohn. <Oh, really, now? No. You should be dead right now, however I don't think Ossanlin would be happy with your blood all over his floor.>

[Chad32]

<I will take your word for it.> Claxter was doubtful about a Human's fighting capabilities without a firearm or something, but he wanted to try to be friendly towards Alic. <I wonder how the others have been doing in our absence. Perhaps we could contact them with the news of our mission completion.> He was tempted to contact terenia and rub it in her face, though someone would likely point out that he nearly bungled the whole thing.

[Myitt]

Myitt nods, watching Claxter restrain Zorish/Derrel in the remaining gurney.  Then she seems to realize that her comm link is still in her pocket.  

"Oh, you're right," she says, hurriedly taking out her link and receiving the slew of backlogged messages from Corliss.  

"Hmm...I suppose I should have called," says Myitt idly, tapping through the little holoscreen.  She sends a text-based message back to Corliss, telling him they're okay and on their way back, with her personal encryption code.  "How long until we reach the...our destination, again?"  She waits impatiently for a few seconds.  There is no answer on the other end of the link, so far.

[Chad32]

<I am unsure.> Claxter said. <We shouldn't be too long getting there.>

"Are we close enough for me to start saying "Are we there yet?' every thirty seconds?" Sukohn asked.

<You haven't been given permission to speak for the entire duration of this trip.> Claxter said. He grabbed a spare cable, and walked over to tie it over Sukohn's mouth.
Post Merged: June 09, 2010, 05:43:28 PM(I'm having Temrash give the mirage a call. He's back at the bar, but hasn't run into Corliss yet.)

Temrash went to his ship and composed a message. Hopefully the Mirage wouldn't actively block messages coming from unknown craft. His ship wasn't Yeerk, and shouldn't be identified as such, but Oss might not know it was coming from him.

"Temrash calling The Mirage. Anyone there? I've returned to the bar, and want to check up on you. If you're still on the mission, would you mind telling me how it's going?"

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

((It was actually Chad that was securing Zorish Tara, not I.  :p  Oss is on the flight-deck atm.))

Ossanlin trots back out into the main cabin area just as Myitt asks her question.  <Funny you should ask, we're still at least two standard hours away from...our destination.>  Ossanlin watches as Myitt punches up her comm.  <Seems like we've been gone longer than we have.>

[Chad32]

Sukohn would have made a remark about being bored senseless, but he had an energy cable around his mouth. Claxter looked at him smugly.

<What's that? No comments? Much better.>

"Mhfmghmff"

[Terenia]

With Zorish incapacitated and Sukohn unable to speak Tamora is truly alone and surrounded by enemies. After her continued struggles to break free fail, she breaks down into noisy sobs and incoherent mumblings.

Zorish, listening from where he is restrained, sighs inwardly. As much as he and Tamora have a mutual agreement her tendency to become overly-emotional is at best irritating and at worst dangerous. Right now all he can do is hope that she gets control over herself and does not condemn them both.

[Alic]

Alic stayed in the room with their.. prisoners and was relieved when Ossanlin said it would only be a couple hours now. It would be nice to get back to the bar and have a drink. Speaking of.. she still had Jager left from the trip to begin with. She decided it would be best to wait until the return, you never know what's waiting for you there.

She focused on Tamora with her main eyes. <Ah, you are still human after-all. The yeerk hasn't destroyed who you are completely then.> She wasn't expecting a reply, but was just thinking out loud. Of course the human girl would need rehabilitation, if it was possible. Someone who worked so closely and willingly for the yeerks may just be evil and impossible to change.

[Myitt]

((Sorry, fixed it! ))

"Hrm," Myitt murmurs, still tapping at the little holoscreen.  "Two hours.  It does feel like it's been longer, perhaps it's because my lovely human friend here hasn't gotten more than a couple hours of sleep in the last, oh, two days or so.  Why isn't he answering?"  She scowls suddenly, frustrated, at the screen.
