((Unknown Location -- Hocktin))
::Krindo was still hunched over, holding his side. As far as he could tell, nothing was broken and at first he was chalking it up to the bruises from the kicking, but this was different. As if he was burning up from the inside out. Sitting up only made it worse. Could he have been bitten and not noticed? A hard, painful cough produced some blood, which trickled from his mouth.::
oO Great, now the virus is active too. Oo
Numiz: Now spill it out! Why are you here?
Pandorn: We've *been* telling the truth. Over and over again. We are *not* here to conquer or whatever else you think we are here for. The 'hospitality' you are showing won't change that. ::Another bloody cough::
Numiz: Sure… an alien race just shows up to say “hello” I doubt that. I need you to work with me here my friend. Otherwise we cant contienu this hospitality. :: He pointed at the food again which hadn’t been touched yet::
Pandorn: Threaten all you like. I figure I have maybe 30-48 hours to live anyway.
::Numiz was taken aback by Krindo's declaration. Apparenlty, this isn't what Numiz had in mind for an interrogation.::
Numiz: How so?
Pandorn: A little gift your people gave us when we came aboard the Pathfinder. A virus the little creatures that are with you have. Virulent and deadly to us. I didn't feel any bites, thanks to your 'welcome'.
::Numiz stared with disbelief at yet another lie, when a guard stood at the doorway. He stared at Krindo a moment before addressing Numiz.::
Guard Largon: Sir, the green-skinned one, the one they called 'Captain' wishes to speak with you. A matter of biology. She also said before there are corpses to clean up.
Numiz: What?
::Largon bowed slightly and left to get Captain Rhani. Krindo winced and coughed blood again. Apparently, the Captain is symptomatic too. They haven't got much time.::
Numiz: Care to explain?
Pandorn: Captain Rhani will explain it. ::cough with more blood:: She might be able to convince you, though I highly doubt it.
Numiz: Fair enough…. Get them in here. There is more than enough food anyway… Make sure you bring the security detachment as well.
::Largon bowed slightly and left. He returned a moment later with half a dozen guards and Captain Rhani and Trellis. Two more chairs were brought and they were seated next to Krindo. Numiz dismissed Largon with a wave, and then snarled at the three Federation officers.::
Numiz: So now that we are all here. Lets talk… Why are you here? What are your plans? And why did you form an alliance with our nemesis?
Pandorn: oO This guy is more stubborn than a donkey. Oo
Rhani: Hmm? Oh. Right. Just wanted to make sure you knew that before too much longer, your prizes are going to buy you nothing but even more trouble.
Vondaryan: ::smiling:: Presently we're here to discuss our intentions. But if you mean why are we on Hocktin, it's because we wanted to meet you. ::he tilted his head:: We didn't form an alliance with your nemesis. We did not form an alliance with anyone.
Pandorn: ::snorts causing a blood trickle from his nose:: I've tried to tell him that , sir. It's like talking to the wall.
Numiz: And what about this man’s condition?
Rhani: ::smiling thinly:: Like I said. Biology. Your little bugs don’t seem to react well to us for some...
::He heard the Captain trailing off with a look of disgust on her face. She swallowed... something. Whatever it was did not smell great. He got a whiff of it, though he rather wished he hadn't.::
Rhani: Okay, that was gross...
Vondaryan: Yes, sadly it was. ::a wave of nausea came over him and blood started running from his noe too::
Numiz: Looks like we are wasting time. You wont tell us what we need to know and you….
Vondaryan: Apologies Marshall, but we all seem to be dying.
Numiz: We all have to go some day…
Pandorn: oO Didn't think today was 'some day' though. Oo Told him about the virus too. Seems pleased with our situation.
Rhani: Response
Vondaryan: ::he coughed. Blood spewed out onto his uniform, the red blood mixing with his red collar.:: We won't be doing much else, really, Marshall. You seem to have been effective in your kidnapping and ensuring our death.
Numiz: So it would seem…
::It was then than a look of uncertainly came over Numiz' face. As if he was starting to think they were telling the truth. Maybe...::
Numiz: I’ll have one of my physicians take a look…
:: He waved his pawn and one of the guards over. He whispered something to him, and the guard left.
Rhani: Response
::Krindo slowly and painfully rose to his feet. He'll be damned if he was to die on his knees. He looked straight at the Marshall.
Pandorn: ::scowling:: If I’m going to die, I'm doing it on my feet.
Vondaryan/Rhani: Response
::Numiz had his back turned but was turning around but wouldn't get the chance to do anything about Krindo's petulance. The room started shimmering out and that could only mean one thing. Krindo wanted to laugh, but the transporter beam took him away from Hocktin altogether.::

::He materialized behind a quarantine force field and immediately dropped to his knees, the pain finally overcoming his adrenaline. Mark, the ships EMH hurried over and helped him into a biobed, injecting something into his neck, causing the pain to subside considerably and Krindo drifted off into blissful unconsciousness. He woke hours later, to see Trellis and Captain Rhani int biobeds, resting. The hypo must have been a cure.::
Mark: Response
Pandorn: ::blinks a few times:: Like I was stuck by a dozen Klingon pain sticks at once. Was that a cure you stuck me with?
Any: Response
Pandorn: ::started to chuckle, causing a little pain, but not nearly as much as before:: I might have to move here. I seem to end up here more often than my quartes.
Any: Response
