Lieutenant Wyatt Ral - More Power!

[Jason Price]

((Main Officer, Administrative Building))

The deal that Sevantha had worked out had clearly not been complied with and the lack of any legal recourse here made enforcing it a problem.

 

N37W02K: You bore me.  

 

oO Oh that’s not good. He’s likely to just zap us away onto some other set.  Separated. Oo

 

Saa: ~ I’m sorry ~

 

oO What could be new after so much entertainment? Oo

 

Ral: ~ Sevantha it isn’t your fault.  It their’s, what else could we do.  The Thor should be on her way back and away from this mess by now. Hopefully returning with the cavalry.~

 

They still couldn’t see the origin of the voice, just the general direction.  Sevantha gave a gesture as if she was surrendering just as a new subtle sound became obvious. It sounded to Wyatt as if a lot of power was suddenly being channelled. 

N37W02K: Now, I suggested we negotiate your contracts.

 

Saa: Fine…::biting her lip:: Bring them out. 

 

Ral: ::voice low:: Wonder if they’ll stick to this one.

 

oO Is it just me or is it getting warmer in here? Oo

Saa:  Do you have legal representation and lawyers? ::She tilts her head:: You are aware, based on the programming content, that most of our species have legal systems that oversee this.

 

Tam: I still say it might be something that would grab the interest of your people, since they don't know about laws. 

 

N37W02K: Response 

 

Saa: The last agreement I made with your species was with M217BS who claimed the authority to arrange these matters. What assures me that any of these terms won’t immediately be violated when the technology cages us in the shows again?

 

Wyatt nodded but didn’t say anything so as not to distract attention away from Sevantha.

N37W02K: Response

 

Saa: How do I know the worth of your words if my previous agreements have been nullified?

 

Wyatt felt like they were definitely being affected by something. Something linked to that sudden increase in power perhaps.

Tam: A contract is promises and conditions for both parties.

 

Ral: And binding. 

 

Wyatt sensed Divya struggling and he noticed that the temperature was increasing.  Divya started to remove the armour that they’d been wearing since they arrived. Was this some form of intimidation to make them feel uncomfortable? 

 

Saa: I want a hard copy. Your choice of archaic paper or maybe a PADD? I had one in my uniform if you could give me that back instead of this wedding dress. That’s the proper attire as Starfleet Officer makes a deal in.::She glances back:: Theirs too, we three made the original deal, we should be the ones to oversee it. 

 

Tam: I've always been partial to papyrus.  It has a unique feel and satisfying crinkle.  

 

Ral:  Shouldn’t be a problem for you seeing as you can produce anything.

N37W02K: Response 

 

The faint hum of the energy flow started to increase, as if it was ramping up to something.  

 

Tam: Oops. I didn't mean to do that.

N37W02K/Saa: Response 

Wyatt looks over to where Divya is as he hears the clatter of metal and sees a piece disappear out of the circle of light.

 

Tam: Sorry. Sorry. I'll get that.

N37W02K/Saa: Response 

Moments later Divya crashes to the floor half out of the circle of light.

 

Tam: Really sorry.

Ral: You need a hand there Divya.

Wyatt rushes over in an attempt to help Divya but only manages to kick one of the pieces, which goes flying into the darkness.  A large piece of fabric comes down on top of Divya and part of it is illuminated as it crosses into the circle of light.

N37W02K/Tam/Saa: Response 

Where the fabric had come down he could now see the glow of power conduits in the periphery of the darkness.  It pulsed as the network spoke.  The set where they were seemed to be empty but it was drawing a large amount of power.

Ral: Divya, are you ok?

N37W02K/Tam/Saa: Response 

Wyatt feels weird and he notices the change to his own clothes first.  It was an approximation of his uniform but not quite right.  The colour and the design were subtly different and the most important thing, his commbadge was still missing.  He look over to Sevantha and noticed the wedding dress was now gone and replaced with an approximation of a command uniform.  Wyatt moves in to try and help Divya to her feet.  As he approaches the edge of the light the heat increases.

Ral: ::to Sevantha:: ~ Keep it talking.  Whenever you challenge it the power requirements increase. ~

Saa: ~ Response ~
