Gary was on a mission. A mission of death and destruction only it wasn't Gary it was Grey Wolf. He moved with stealth, skill and purpose. The purpose was clear to cause as much destruction and chaos as he could while killing as many Romulans as he could in the process all while looking for Mishka.Those skills unused for so long fitted him now like a glove. He knew the Klingon proverb about a running man with knife being able to cut a hundred throats. *Wonder what they would say about a Starfleet Officer with a phaser.* He thought humorlessly. Yet he had to admit he was pleased with the damage he had done so far. Laundry on fire, other prisoners freed. Pig dead. He was headed to what he hoped was the power distribution grid. If he could knock out power, the prison would be ripe for a takeover. It would also lower the prison's shields and allow people to transport in or out.

He stayed to the shadows while watching the Romulan guards run frantically about the prison to deal with the damage he was doing. He was also
releasing the prisoners from their cells which added to the chaos. A he watched the guards scurrying about. His thoughts touched on Lia and Liselle
and their safety. He was especially concerned about Liselle. She had borne a great deal of not only physical abuse but mental as well when the
Romulans had stripped her naked and then bound her just as they had him. He knew their friendship was all but over. That she blamed him for
the abuse she had suffered. Along with the fact that she would never forgive him for said abuse. He shook his head and Lia popped into it. She too
had suffered at the Romulans hands also being stripped naked and then to add insult becoming the property of a Romulan officer. Yet Lia had shown great resilience bouncing back to escape, free Liselle and himself. Along with giving them clothes, she had brought their phasers from the shuttle.

He sighed silently and cleared his head he needed to focus on finding Mishka. Undoubtedly she knew of the chaos going on. He doubted she knew
of Pig's death yet which was a plus for him. However she was no fool. She probably had figured out at least one of the prisoners had escaped and
was responsible for the mass confusion going on. He looked around, trying to decide where he should be looking for her in the sprawling prison complex.

He checked the charge on his phaser and then the disruptor pistol he had 'acquired' from Pig. Both still had the majority of their charge left so he didn't need to worry about either of them dying on him. He headed toward the power grid. To knock out or disrupt the power then he would head to the landing strip. It was there they had arrived at the prison. So he would also search for Mishka there. It was time for payback.

A short time later he arrived at the grid, just in time to hear some Romulan officer instructing the guards to be alert. He chuckled without humor. *Be alert?* He thought He was the invisible man they would never know what hit them. He had learned from the best and now that training came to bear fruition. He looked over the grid looking for it weak link and he saw it. A collection of transfer grids that let power go to all areas of the prison. How best to take it out? He could shoot at it and hope he did enough damage while also avoiding the Romulans shooting back at him. No he had a better way. He took the disruptor set it to overload and threw it into the middle of the grid. The he casually walked away never looking back. The resulting explosion let him know he had been successful. "Your next Mishka." He whispered savagely.
