Being the lone Andorian on the ISS Elysium, Nerinath was often considered lower than a slave. So she was often ignored. Which, was to her own advantage. That and the advantage of one of the resistance who was on board.

She shuffled along the corridor to a cabin door on deck 24, her head down, her long white hair falling in her face. She hit the chime and when it opened she slipped inside.

The room was dimly lit and she raised her head. "Malak" she said softly.

"Here." The older human male stepped out of the shadows. "You have news"

"Lovejoy escaped. He stole a shuttle. And the Captain is still in her booth but for some reason Taylor seems drawn there, and she has quite the mouth on her. She keeps pissing him off and he reacts to it."

"Really?"

Neri nodded. "Its like he cannot help himself but be drawn to her."

"Anything else?"

"SJ and SG are plotting. They have been very good at keeping it quiet and I only found out by accident. And SJ brought the Lady back to the ship, she is locked in her quarters. Alicia and Heather both interrogated the Captain but got no where. Holmes has not yet returned from the Station and Fernando" here she shuddered "Is enjoying himself way too much."

"And the Federation crew?"

"Beamed on-mass to the Arena. They beamed the Federation Aurelia Holmes to a different location to the others but still on the station. I think our Holmes is plotting something nasty."

"Let her. While she is focusing on them, she is not focusing on us."

"Very true." Neri paused "What can we do now Malak?"

"I need you to find my counterpart, and give him this" Malak held out a slim communication device.

"Do you think it will help them?"

"He will have to get it to their command team but hopefully it will."

Neri pocketed the device. "You are leaving" she stated.

"Yes. I have to go. If this works, this ship will be destroyed by the Federation. I need to get back to the resistance."

Neri nodded. "Good Luck Malak" she said softly. And with that she left the cabin as silently as she had entered. She was not sure she wanted to be around when they learned that the Scientist was gone.

It took her another 15 minutes to make it to the most distant transporter room she could find. She set it to beam her to the Arena and stepped onto the PADD. It energized and she was on the Arena.

Once she was safely away, Malak walked into the secondary shuttle bay to his own personal shuttle. He boarded it without fanfare. Then he began the start up sequence and launched. As he did so, he made sure he blew up the control centre of the shuttlebay with his shuttle's phasers. It shot clear of the shuttlebay and he went to warp before they could get a shot off.
