=BRIDGE=

Lily stood from the Centre chair as the last ship blew up after its people were clear. She turned to the Admiral bound on the floor. "Care to surrender now?" she asked him coldly.

He glared at her. "We should have killed you when we had the chance."

"Awww" she mocked him. "You didn't. You missed your chance. And now you have to pay the piper."

The admiral swore at her and she merely raised an eyebrow at him. But Highlaw was not done. He looked at the bridge crew. "Do they know?" he asked.

"Know what?" Lily asked casually.

"Who you are?"

From his position behind Highlaw, Garrett chuckled. "Are you serious Highlaw? Notice, I didn't call you admiral as you have disgraced your oath and your uniform. Of course, we know who she is."

"She is the Commanding Officer of the team that not only broke your powerbase," Jax stated gruffly, as he moved over and placed a heavy boot on Highlaw's chest, pinning him to the deck. "But we also brought you down, traitor!" He put some weight into his foot, giving Highlaw the message that he had lost.

Alicia smiled as she watched the goings on, there was more to Lily and she had a rough idea what but her suspicions were yet to be confirmed.

Highlaw sneered though he was gasping for breath.

"Now, now Jax, let the man breathe" Lily said calmly. She placed a hand on the man's shoulder and drew him back. She then looked down at Highlaw and smirked. "No matter what he says, we know the truth"

Jax looked at Lily, his features softening some. He moved off of Highlaw and stepped over behind her, just behind her left shoulder. As she addressed Highlaw, he glowered down at the pathetic excuse of an officer.

Highlaw glowered at Lily. Then he all but spat "You are going to die. Cragen will find you and kill you!"

Lily began to laugh. "Cragen is already sitting in prison. And his man Bishop, is being chased by Starfleet Intelligence. We have word that Commander Salannis Au Vantar is with her family. Cragen gave you up Highlaw, He gave us everything he had on you. Now, we have you and you will pay. And unlike Cragen, I will keep you alive so you can suffer. Cragen would have just killed you."

Highlaw seeing he was getting no where snarled and said "You will die Lalor. You wait and see, I will be avenged and one day your children will wake without their mother."

Lily merely shrugged. "It is the fate of all mortals to die. I do not fear it."

“Lalor!” Alicia looked towards Lily and smiled. “I knew there was something familiar about you. Welcome home Captain!”

"I am not the captain now. He is." Lily pointed to Lovejoy. "Captain Lovejoy, the command is yours. I will gather my team and we will take the prisoner to SB1."

Garrett nodded at Phoenix's statement, "Very good Captain. Thank you and please thank your team as well for a job done exceptionally well. I am sure we will see each other again soon."

Lily Kass smiled, nodded. "Jax, bring the garbage will you please?" she said to the Orion who had been hovering behind her.

The Orion grinned and evil grin. "My pleasure, Ma'am!" He then reached down and, after taking a firm hold of the disgraced Admiral's uniform front, yanked the older man back up onto his feet. "Time to go, shit stain." He then led Highlaw off the bridge, using a particularly painful arm lock.

Lily followed him laughing softly. She trusted Garrett and Gary to get the crew home safe.

=DECK 10, Cargo-bay 1=

In the cargo-bay Heather was huddled up with her son, keeping him protected no matter what. So far they hadn’t had any unexpected guests but that didn’t mean they had to come in. The bay was easily cut off from outside the doors, trapping those inside.

Emily was doing her best to reassure Heather, having stayed behind just incase there were any problems with young Cody.

=ENGINEERING=

The radiating heat from a phaser impact against the bulkhead corner that Gami took cover behind caused her to smile. "Who taught you numbnuts how to shoot? A blind Ferengi?" she taunted to the group of troops that she had encountered while clearing the deck as another phaser blast struck the opposite bulkhead. "Wow, you actually got worse! Congrats, you're now on par with a Stormtrooper!" she taunted again before popping off a burst of phaser fire around the corner.

Ensign Tarr Zell and Lt. Paulie O’Rourke we’re supporting Gami. Paulie gets gazed in the shoulder from a shot. “Damn!”

Tarr puts himself in the line of fire as it takes out three before they could return the favor.

Gami looked at O'Rourke, moving to his position. "Are you alright?"

Paulie saw the blood on his elbow. “Just a flesh wound. Hurts. Tarr and Gami, you saved my life.”

=MEDICAL=

Etrara burst into sickbay seeing only the enemy. She ducked and rolled under the fire directed at her and felled three attackers slashing with her knife. She took a blast to her shoulder but carried on as if it were a scratch. Silently she worked taking out another with a phaser shot. One of her attackers tried to engage her at close quarters and came at her. She allowed his momentum to carry him past her as she stepped aside at the last minute turned and sliced across his spine felling him as he screamed in pain. She went to finish him but now a woman came at her levelling her phaser, she knocked the phaser from her hand and, with an uppercut to her chin knocked her unconscious. “Tie her up” Etrara/Emily growled to the staff as she left sickbay launching herself out into the corridor.

=DECK 18=

The firefight was heavy, however, Kyle and his team were starting to gain the upperhand. He tapped his commbadge and shouted over the sounds of the battle. "Colonel! Whenever you're ready, we'd love ya to come join the party!" A phaser blast hit the bulkhead a few centimeters above where he was crouching. "Sonofabitch!"

Kyle rolled over to the other side of the corridor and, when he got in position, aimed and shot another intruder, stunning him unconscious.

A large explosion rocked the deck as a photon grenade went off, sending it's destructive effects through the assembled enemy invaders. "You called, Captain?" she grinned as she approached him with S'hib and others in tow as they came up from the opposite corridor. The remaining two enemy dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Kyle gave Naxea a lop-sided grin. "Glad you made it! Was starting to get worried that we'd have all the fun without you."

Tag Naxea

Kara was keeping her senses alert for any other intruders who might try and sneak up on them. “I’m a medic are any of your people injured?”

Kyle nodded, then turned and pointed. "Crewman Travis and Ensign Feltorra both need medical attention please."

Kara nodded. “I’ll get right on it.” She looked towards Malakai knowing she’d need someone to watch her back whilst she helped Travis and Feltorra.

"I'm with you Kara." He answered he wasn't about to let Kara out of his sight especially with her being pregnant. "Let's go."

Kara nodded and smiled. Not many couples got to work together in the field the way she and Malakai did. She was soon busily tending to the two people who needed her.


=DECK 5=

Etrara/Emily fought her way along the corridor on deck five. She had no idea where she was but bloody not bowed she flung herself at the next target. She pulled him to her and used him as a shield to move along until he was shot by his own crew mates. She tossed his body aside and slipped into what seemed like an empty room. The door closed behind her and she sank to the floor. The phaser wound to her shoulder burned and the shoulder itself was becoming useless.
Her mind still believed she was Emily and was fighting with the memories that kept intruding. The Starfleet officer had all but gone leaving a Klingon warrior intent on taking out her enemies by whatever means possible. The door swished open behind her as a phaser was leveled at her. she slashed at his legs cutting his tendons sending him crashing to the floor. He held his phaser and fired, catching her leg with the blast. She screamed in pain and threw her knife burying it deep into his chest. He looked down in surprise as his pierced heart began to fibrillate. He bled out and fell back, eyes sightless. Etrara/Emily sank into unconsciousness.

Hurrying behind her came Sthilg Using his shield to block any phaser shots he could. " Etrara you need to come with me." he yelled over the battle.

Etrara/Emily woke, grabbing her knife she rolled towards Sthilg, “do you need help Doctor?” she shouted over the noise of phaser fire she stood limping forgetting the phaser wound in her leg. Where are we going?” She asked him.

" If your leg takesss any more damage you could loosse it. Come with me i can get you fixed up." Sthilg explained bringing his arm shield around her.

She limped along beside him. “Have you seen my brother George?” She asked him her mind still full of Emily’s memories.

" He'sss fine you jussst concentrate on getting to sssickbay." the gorn replied

Suddenly she heard the swish of a blade being lifted behind them, without looking she raised her knife and thrust it back, finding it meeting flesh she pulled down. The body fell behind them and they carried on. She was slowing down she knew her leg would not last long. She stopped. “Go on without me,” she said to the kindly Gorn. “I will cover your retreat.”

" George wouldn't want you to sssacrafice yourssself. " Sthilg said as he reached down and picked her up.

She did not argue, at least his arms were strong enough to hold her. She tried to maintain her weapon to protect him but her eyes were going misty. “I cannot protect you any more I hope we die a good death!” She lapsed into unconsciousness.

Sthilg checked her over before dropping the flashbangs at his belt before pulling back towards medbay. He needed to get her sorted out.

=FIGHTER SQUAD=

With all the capital ships destroyed, George ordered the damaged members of his squadron to land immediately and begin repairs. The rest, himself included, remained spaceborne, circling Elysium like the loyal protectors that they were.
