PNPC Senior Cmdr Nugra - The Memories Keep Coming
Diz'mim Ch'Nilmani
OOC: The following is a B-Plot that I have been working on for
awhile with Nugra. This has nothing to do with a mission being
planned or any known future mission. Strictly B-plot. Back history
for those who want it can be found here.
(( Nugra's Quarters - USS Constitution-B ))
When the artifact returned all of Nugra's 240 years, the Gorn's
memory snapped back thanks to an alien probe that tried to destroy
his memories in 2376 and the doctor used a prototype serum to keep
the memory engrams locked in place. It was impossible now for him
to forget anything between 2376 and 2380.
The lizard sat on his couch, the air a bit muggy and the lights
very low. There were sounds of night creatures chirping thanks to
the surround sound. At the moment, he was sitting on the couch,
his eyes mostly closed letting each memory was over him; trying to
process the shock of all the memories hitting.
Most of his childhood had past but then came the painful ones. The
moment that he had transferred to Starfleet in search of his
brother and the truth that he found.

:: Nugra had taken a seat in the Briefing room and adjusted his
sash that he wore around his waist. He was an Exchange officer of
the Gorn and he wore it to signify that he used to be a Gorn
officer. The door swished open and an Andorian entered and turned
to him. Nugra stood up in attention probably drawing a couple
looks, but he did not care. It was proper etiquette when a
superior officer walked in to the room.::
AVATAR: Welcome aboard the Victory Mister Nugra, I am Commander
Mal Avatar.
NUGRA: Greetings, sir. Thank you for the welcome. I hope to serve
well. AVATAR: Your brother was a fine officer and it is
unfortunate that he is no longer with us.
NUGRA:(startled) wha...No longer with you, sir? Was he transferred
from this ship?
AVATOR: Response
NUGRA: dead?! That's impossible! The Confederation has said he was
still alive and on this ship!
:: Nugra looked in disbelief at the Andorian and was about to say
something else in the effect that he must be mistaken, but the
Captain seemed to be getting ready to speak. The Gorn sat down. ::
oO Dead? No, that can't be. The Confederation would have told
me before transfer...No, It can't--Oo
:: Nugra stopped and then anger shot through him like a bolt of
fire. The Confederation would never tell him about a "traitor" and
someone banished. He growled very lowely, but audible. There was
something going on and he was going to find out. And if commander
Avator was right then it would be necessary seek revenge for his
brother.::
(( END FLASHBACK ))
That was years ago. The pain and rage that he felt had faded to
almost nothing but fond memories. Nugra honestly didn't think
about it much anymore as it felt like such a life time ago.
Morg, his brother, who had fled the Gorn Confederation had joined
Starfleet. Nugra had been the older brother and helped him flee,
to escape the political assassins trying to stop him. The Gorn
remembered the hatred in him learning the Shadow Assassin Loki had
killed him. The Senior Commander had failed in protecting his
brother.
The lizard chuckled to himself remembering how the rage
overwhelmed him.

:: Nugra marched down the hall, temper already soar from getting
wounded. The Computer had told him that Joshua Phoenix was here
some where and he was going to find him. He looked up ahead and
saw him talking to a girl. ::
NUGRA: Mr. Phoenix. I wish to have a word with you.
:: Joshua was walking along with Alisha Lopez, whispering in her
ear, making her giggle. ::
J.PHOENIX: Hey Mr Gorn, I mean Mr Nugra...
ALISHA: (smiling) Hello sir.
NUGRA: When we were on the moon. I gave you a direct order not to
board that shuttle. You directly dis-obeyed me. Explain?
J.PHOENIX: (In a calm and funny manner) Oh come on man, that was
so long ago. It's done and dusted. (Becoming more serious) I had
to go in there. My brother's trophy was there. I had to see it and
anything else that was in there.
NUGRA: I don't care if it was something of your brothers. That
could have been a trap and we discovered it was!
J.PHOENIX: Well, that was my risk to take. But don't worry. I can
look after myself as I proved. And if you ever speak ill of my
brother or make it seem like he is not important, I will not be
responsible for what happens..!
ALISHA: ::to Joshua:: (quietly) Josh, calm down...!
NUGRA: (angry) If this was a Gorn starship, I would have you
locked up in solitary confinement for 2 weeks for this on only
Tess'Vdd and water.
J.PHOENIX: Well, lucky for me, we are on a Federation starship. If
you don't mind, I have to get getting somewhere. :: Nugra noticed
the girl now and he realized it was a different one then the last
one he saw him with. That would make three or four. ::
NUGRA: oOWhy that Krr'Mkk. He has no honor or loyalty toward
anyone.Oo And further more. You are restricted from any contact
with the oppisite sex of your species for 3 weeks unless it is on
duty.
J.PHOENIX: Hahahaha... You gotto be kiddin' MR NUGRA. First of
all, you have no authority to order me to that with no reason.
Second of all, would you tell a Klingon to not be violent for 3
weeks? :: Nugra did not respond. His anger was building up
severely. He could not handle Joshua's easy and carefree manner.
Joshua was overly confident in everything he was doing. What
annoyed Nugra and the others was that he was living up to that
reputation. ::
J. PHOENIX: Sir? Yeah, I don't think so... :: Joshua pushed past
Nugra without a single thought and the stress of the mission,
defience and disobedience made something snap in the Gorn.
NUGRA: Mr PHOENIX! You see these Two Gold pips?! That gives me the
authority to tell you what to do! If you think that for one moment
that I'm going to let a stupid, play-boy who is as bright as a
Denebian slime devil disobey. You got another thing coming!
::Joshua as insulted. And that was not what he wanted in front of
Alisha ::
JOSHUA: You ugly... :: To Nugra's surprise, Joshua leaped and
attacked by driving his two fists in to his chest, it did not hurt
much, but he stumbled back from the force. With every reservation
trained in him gone. He swung at Joshua and Angelina screamed.
With a roar of rage the large lizard was on top of him. :: ::
Joshua ducked around and fought the large gorn and with his swift
manueverablity, tried to keep out of the lizard's reach. Nugra on
the other hand knew what he was doing and in a quick movement,
caught Joshua with a backhand in the chest sending him smashing
against the wall with the wind knocked out of him. He looked up
dazed and Nugra towered over him. ::
UGRA: (roaring) Finished, Human? :: Joshua lunged back in to the
fight grabbing the Gorn aronud the waist and with a twist Nugra
flung him down on the ground with a hard thud. Joshua rolled away
and was wise enough to stay out of the reach. ::
:: Joshua was about to attack again when four security guards came
around the corner and two pinned Joshua to the wall while Nugra
was forced back facing two phasers. Security knew they couldn't
restrain him by force. The Gorn stepped back and glared at
Phoenix. ::
NUGRA: Krr'Taa'Sshhhk'Tss'Naa'Rrr!
HAVINGTON: Lieutenant Nugra!
:: Slowly, common sense returned to him and he straightened and
brushed his uniform off. ::
NUGRA: Mr. Havington. It seems you will have to escort me and Mr.
Phoenix here to the brig.
(( END FLASHBACK ))
When was that? About twenty-one years ago?
oO Thinking back, I'm amazed the things that I survived. Oo
Survived. There was a terrifying screech to his left, the Gorn
startled deep inside him even though he knew it was a memory
forcing its way to the surface.

:: The battle raged between the giant scorpion creatures and the
massive Gorn while the rest of his people tried to take up
positions that would protect them the most. He could hear them
yelling out to each other, but Nugra was able to focus completely
on it. He knew if he took his eyes off the larger ugly monster, it
would try to get him with the spear like stinger. ::
oO I'm not dying on this hunk of rock. Oo
Cranford: (Standard) Keep hissing Nugra...
Cranford: (Standard) We need to stay near his scent and sound...
They know we have changed position, but we aren't approaching
whatever it was they were protecting...
:: As Tal took up position beside him, the Gorn watched as the
Scorpion creatures responded appropriately giving away the fact
they were not just dumb hunters. They had the look of evil cunning
in their eyes. ::
Barrett: (Standard) I think I wounded one as well. Though that
might just be making them angrier.
Tel-ar: (Standard) Just stay behind us and make sure that none of
them circle around in behind us.
:: Nugra nodded his head in agreement as the second wave of
attacks began. Tel-ar was well trained in martial weapons, which
proved to be very important at the moment as the beasts were
trying to turn them in to food. Nugra gave one of them a hard hit
with the ax that caused it to screech angrily. ::
Tel-ar: (Standard) We really need to find a way for you to
verbally communicate to the rest of us Col.
oO That's not going to happen anytime soon. Oo
:: The battle raged, but began to fade as the scorpions got tired
and they were no longer posing a threat to the nests that seemed
to be under the surface. ::
:: Breathing hard and trying to catch his breath, the Gorn turned
to the other crewmembers. He hand signed to them to check if they
were alright. He had lost his white plastic top to write his words
on. ::
Tel-ar: (Standard) SCATTER!!!!!!!!! :: Even as he screamed it the
object landed and Tal leapt without thinking, not away from it but
towards it. ::
:: With the creatures scuttling away and digging themselves back
in to the dirt, Nugra turned to speak to his cohorts, but they did
not have a chance to react. ::
Vexva: Now!
oO Krr'Mkk! What now? Oo
:: A flash of light and the feeling of a stunning force took the
tired Gorn off his feet and on to his knees. Reeling from what was
definitely a stun grenade of some sort, he blinked multiple times
to see figures closing. Blurry and not sure who it was, he swung
catching one straight in chest crumpling it to the floor. It was
not enough though as he felt his consciousness slipping away and
darkness descending. ::
(( END FLASHBACK ))
oO Those damnable Sisterhood of Chains. Oo
They had been ambushed by the slavers that seemed to be part of a
much larger organization though after the destruction of their
dreadnought Matriarch and the vanishing of their leader Valynteen,
he never heard a word from them again.
oO May they rot in whatever hell has them. Oo
Senior Commander Nugra stood and made his way towards the
replicator to get himself a glass of cold water. There was a break
in the memories and he wanted to hydrate before the next ones
hit.
As the Gorn threw back the glass and drained the ice cold water,
he could feel another memory coming before his communications
panel chirped. Nugra glanced at it with annoyance but saw the
encrypted signature on it.
Whatever amusement he was getting from it faded immediately
replaced with irritation and a cold apprehension. It had been
months since he had setup this encrypted channel being bounced
between Gorn, Cardassian, and now a Federation communication bouy.
Senior Commander Nugra sat down and tapped in his password and the
screen lit up with only a black screen. The person on the other
side was transmitting tight band so there was no luxury with a
visual.
Nugra: What have you found?
Mysterious Person: A name.
Nugra: This long and that's all you've been able to get?
Mysterious Person: I warned you that it wouldn't be easy. You
mentioned his name a year ago and now The Romulan Republic,
Empire, Guardians Errant, and even the Orion Syndicate is scared
and looking.
Nugra: Did you find him?
Mysterious Person: No. But like I said, I found a name that I
believe will lead us to Darian Scott.
Nugra: Well?
Mysterious Person: I'm not trusting it to this channel no matter
how much you've got it encrypted. Come get some blue wine and
we'll talk.
The channel died and the Gorn stared at it. Blue Wine? That would
be the Gedesh Estate he owned in the Typhon Expanse. Once they
were docked at Starbase 104, the Gorn was going to be making a
trip to his old stomping ground.
