Capt. Genkos Adea - The Nick of Time
Genkos Adea
((Cellar, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alomia))
Genkos tried, and failed, to not look confused. The mission had kind of gone from one cataclysm to another, and he’d spent most of it tied up in a basement. He was hoping now that some members of his senior staff were present, they could elucidate matters.
Adea: I see… and what in the four hells is going on?!
Braya: ::Rapidly:: Right. Sir. Tryin’ t’beam ya’ out caught us a Disciple ‘stead o’ you. E’s aboard Eagle now. In custody. Kettick’s team came back from the moon, but’s it’s all afoul with some terraformin’ device gone mad, spewing comms traffic ‘bout it all belongin’ to the “Collectors”. Williams’ team ain’t been ‘eard from, least since we left t’come get yerself an’ the rest o’ them ‘ostages. There’s a shield up that we gotta' bring down b’fore we can all beam back.
From his vantage point in the doorway Tomas glanced over at Genkos, who let out a low sigh.
Falt: That's the shield I sent Tanner and Letek to deal with.
Epoma: Response
Braya: Oh. An’ a shuttle from a Sect or Seth or somethin’. They tried gettin’ t’the moon. We stopped ‘em. C’mander Drex was bringin’ it aboard just as we left.
Genkos put both hands on his hips and let out a low whistle. That was enough to be getting on with for the time being, and he hoped that Drex and the rest of the Eagle staff would be able to manage until he got back, had a shower, and maybe even a bit of a nap.
Letek: Tanner has deactivated the shield. We can finally leave.
Adea: Thank the four…
Epoma(?): Response.
Tomas looked down as his tricorder, and Genkos pushed an errant curl behind his ear as he waited to hear what their next steps were now they could leave.
Falt: It looks like whatever you did took down the dampening field that was stopping our phasers working.
Tanner: ::Looking at his tricorder.:: We are good to go.
Before anyone could respond, Lieutenant Braya raised a hand to the ear she wore her listening device in. She looked concerned by what she was hearing and moments later as the ceiling shook from nearby explosions, they could all figure out why.
Braya: ::Breathless:: Captain. That’s local law breachin’ the buildin’. An’ they ain’t gonna be ‘appy t’see any o’ us.
Genkos opened his mouth, but Tanner was ahead of the game.
Tanner: =/\= Tanner to the Eagle =/\=
The pause was quite tense, and Genkos could hear his physician warning him about getting his blood pressure too high.
Letek: I'm afraid we're about to have company.
It was Falt’s turn to contact the Eagle.
Falt: =/\= Falt to Eagle. We've found the Captain. Situation hostile. Immediate beam out required. =/\=
He paused to listen for a reply, but the line remained concerningly quiet.
Adea: ::wryly:: Do you think they’ll listen to the Captain?
Epoma(?) / Braya: Response.
Tanner: We are most definitely out of time.
At last Falt’s combadge came to life as the Eagle responded
Transporter Chief: =/\= Standby Commander, we'll have you all out of there in a moment. =/\=
Falt: =/\= Quick as you can, Eagle. We're about to have more company. =/\=
Genkos looked up at the ceiling and muttered a silent prayer to the Betazoid gods.
Epoma(?) / Braya: Response.
The sounds of footsteps and gunfire reached their ears. Falt trained his phaser on the door, whilst Genkos retrieved his sword - although it seemed like he was bringing a knife to a gun fight. He felt every muscle tense as the noises grew closer, but almost at the last second, he felt the disconcerting tingle of the transporter beam.
Adea: Thank f-
Fin

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
