It was a moment out of Frankenstien. Rebooting going alright, and first James' eyes focused in, then his bioware arm twitched, the hand flexing, then gripping..before he sat himself up, rubbing his head with his human hand while the bioware was making beeps and whiring sounds, rebooting nad recalibrating and readjusting everything.
Norrington smirked.
"then why keep you? It woudl be much more emotionally damaging to James if I took you away, permenantly, like I supposedly did to the rest of his unit and friends."
"Sir?"
"what Comm."
"Someone hacked in, codes are reformating every five to ten seconds."
"Source?"
"Shipbased, has to be."
"And it's not James. we'd have noticed him come in. So it's not you either. Let the tech have a seat."
And Jessica was put in a chair and held still at gunpoint. Norrigton finsihed his gun, and in about a second, had it up and fired at Jelena's hip she was limping on.
"Come out, Come out, wherever you are, Captian."
Had to be him. if it was some other guy, this woudl have been set up already, and no little hacker clown would have risked life and limb to come here.

"That...is far too creepy..."
"You should see it happen when his bioware is all open and such. Not THAT'S creepy. Now we wait." Though suddenly a little alert went off on his sensors. "We've got gun blasts."
"s**t. Hurry it up James..."
"Because I'm the one with the most knowledge of things you want. I know high level access codes, all information on Echoes which is set to be deleted at a command, and well I know all those fun things about James. And where he's moved his weaponry and stuff too. You think he's not paranoid enought to move things? " Oh she could throw a good plausible buff. But she a quick side step that indeed dumped her too the ground at looking to avoid that shot ow. Though she was worried that that fenrir would jump at first go. But she managed herself back up, still holding her own gun. "Jessica for me?"
Michael had thrown up a hand in front of the creature who was about to bolt and surprisingly enough it had stopped. "Not yet big fella..." Back to his coding and trying to ignore what was happenign at the moment till he could get an auto thing set up. Needed another moment.

"what...gun...blasts?"
Voice mechaincal sounding, like a bad synthisizer. Hey, almost there...then a recongnition of where he was.
"How...did...we....get...here?"
Norrington was quiet for a moment, gun retrained on Jelena.
"all Echo information, information on the weapons storage of James, and just to add icing, that your his Fleet sex toy. hmm. I'll do this. dowload all teh echo information into a portable storage I have with me, and that gets teh explosive removed from our tech here. then, inform me and get me access to James' personal arsenal here, and we'll ship the tech trhough the transport safe and sound in exchange for you."
snapping his other finger to Comms who tossed a black box over to Norrington, that was tossed over to Jelena.
"Do we have an accord, Doctor?"

"Mr. Hack It here got us here. And I assume Rennell means we have blasts here. Means Norrington and such are here...but who the hell would still be in here? Noris ordered everyone to the Bridge and Radiance."
"I'd say Jessica. She's wouldn't likely abandon her post." A look to James. "Take a moment to get yourself back up to par and then we'll go see what's happening."
She frowned. Fleet sex toy? Oh he was going to get a kick in a very sensitive area for that one when she got the chance. b*****d. But she caught that black box in her hand, holding it a moment. "No go, Jessica gets released first, no conditions other than that. Let her go, and then I'll go with you. I'll personally put in the codes. After all...James likes his booby traps for such things. I know how to pass them. After all...they aren't really codes." Good girl Jelena, keep it up. Let's add to the pot. Thus she held up her wrist which had the control to her OODDS strapped on it. "And I'll throw in this. It controls the device on me that looks like glasses...has practical access to anything on Fleet. Locks, cameras, transporters, codes..."

"I'll be..alright.."
Static flaring in his eye, readings going through it be he coudl still see damn it.
"and we need to get Jess."
Staggering a bit, up off the table, disconnecting the wires and flexing and spinning his bioware nad and moving his arm, then adjusting it to canon mode, targeting eye going into place.
Hey look...there's two Rennell's now.
Norrington gave a small chuckle.
"Now now...alright then. let teh tech go. keep her trigger on hand."
Explosives let Jessica go, who got up and ran past Jelena and had the Captian not covered her mouth in a hurry, would have screamed at seeing a Fenrir.
"the explosive on her stays put. once we get what we want, I'll have my man remote disarm it. until then, it acts as you consience should you be bluffing."

"You're booting slow. Stay here...me and Erik will go on ahead you can catch up once you finish. We're capable. You get yourself all aligned, calibrated and what not." Thus grabbing Erik by the arm and pulling him out, starting down the hallways much to his displeasure.
Micheal had indeed snatched Jessica, plopping a hand over her mouth. "Shh...he won't do anything. Too busy watching Jelena anyway. Alright?" Waiting for her to nod a bit before he patted her down, and seeing that little disk. "Damn it. Are you alright otherwise?"
"How can I trust that you'll disarm it and not just use her as a human bomb?" But she dropped her gun, kicking it over to them in the surrendering like fashion before shifting her weight where she stood to keep her balance.

James stumbled forward a few steps, and then fell back against the medical bed.
"alright...I'll be along shortly."
Ooo fuzzy vaportrails...wonder if this thing gets psychodelic colors.
Norrington only smiled lightly.
"In the same manner that I am to trust you are not bluffing and can get me the information I want. very easily. you can't. however, I have leverage, and you don't."
letting the explosive expert pick up the gun and stick it in his pants.
"Now, bypass the securities in here to access the weapons I'm sure are in these locked areas."
Jelena just nodded, eyes on the Fenrir.
"fine. only a little roughed up. I was trying to make sure everything was secured and get some metamorph medical bags. but I forgot my clipboard of codes and came back for it. sent it down the waste shute the moment they showed up."

"Captain, Jessica and a third party are in the corridor to our left on hte east side of the room. Jelena must of pulled a deal. Though I don't think we should barrel in...who knows what's going on.."
"Jessica? I got an idea." Thus grabbing his communicator, punching in a certain code to make it go into a sort of whisper feature, thus buzzing Michael's. "Captain it's Erik...you have Jessica? James need medical attention...he's in the sick bay. I think you can get around from there."
"Good girl Jessica. Now, I want you to head back to Bridge, okay?" Not that women of late had been listening to him at all. But it was worth a shot. "I'll get Jelena...somehow...and then send her up as well. If you can help with the power strain on the reactor do so...I can't give these ships any more power but the buildup is started to strain." Though his communicator buzzed and then Erik's voice was in his ear. His attention went to Jessica. "You have those med bags right? James is in this sick bay, needs your help."
"What? No throwing me around and saying nasting things as you kick me around and shackle me and what not?" Of course she had to be a smartass about it. "Do forgive me if I go slow...I'm having trouble walking these days." Though she would be compliant for the moment adn thus she went over to one of the weapons lockers...and noted that the coding was being scrambled. She assed the panel a moment and then she removed a button from the keypad, popped the faceplate off that way and yanked out the wires, stopping that particular scrambler. And thus put in the proper code, stepping back once the lock gave the go noise.

Jessica looked at the Captian and nodded lightly.
"I got that covered, I'll have him up and fully capable in a few minutes."
Thus pulling a device out of her back pocket, and hitting a button, and presto, instant med bag delivery system. she built it herself and loved it.
"I'll head that way."
Course she knew her ship, and didn't take her long.
James was laying down again, letting his systems try and figure things out, until Jessica showed up.
"Hello."
"What happened?"
"EMP."
"Dear christ on a candle. Lets get this working."
And opening her bags, hooking James back up, sliding in information and booting and organizng and lord knows what else diskettes into teh computers, taking out several other insters and placing them in other slots, and hooking still more wires up to a portable device in hand.
Norrington shook his head.
"A PoW poorly treated doesn't amount to much. besides, I think the explosive strapped to your college is more than enough persuassion for now."
Of course when the lock clicked open, Norrington had Comms check it. and opening it up, it had a set of cannon arm attachments from James'.
"Nothing of value there sure. these are designed for James' particular bioware."
"Good. take them and secure them. less weapons he has access to, the better. now, Doctor, the next one if you please."

Let's see...six weapons lockers....and she needed to stall. Okay she could do this easily. Besides it would be kind of true. Thus she nodded and opened up four more lockers before taking on that feeble look and leaning against the locker. "I need to sit down...I told you I'm not walking well these days and standing is just as stressfull. Unless you want me to pass out then I suggest you let me sit a moment..."
Oh good she was trying to stall...which would be good if James was back online at that time...they didn't know how to deal with this. "Captain, she's trying to stall...who do you have with you?"
"I sent Jessica to James...and I have a giant wolf with me. Jelena had him out and he's come with...though it looks like he wants to chew these guys but is waiting for somethign....what do I do with it?"
"God she had a fenrir out..." Erik thought for a moment as he watched Rennell keeping track of things and what not, trying to look for a moment to intervene. "He's probably waiting for something that looks like shes in really big trouble to happen...and then go for them."
"And if that happens?"
"Let him...you'd be surprised what that thing can take."
"Noted...everyone hold positions for now."
Then looking to Rennell. "Ideas?"
"Well...he's after me as well as James. Can we work that to any advantage? I mean I know Jelena is tough...but she's been hurt lately and she's in Norrington's eyes disposable...he'll kill her the first chance he gets."

Jessica was working ferverently on James, who she had drugged now, nad his boiware opened nad prodding nad rewiring nad replacing component that were particularly sesative and destroyed by emp...though she got on her personal comunicator to the captian.
"James is in rough shape. but I should have him up and ready in about ten minutes. and tell rennell, next time he wants to hack into my systems, the least he can do is get the current files. these things he put in are a week old."
Norrington shook his head lightly.
"you can tell Comms what to do then. he's fully capable of soing the job if you'll give him the information he needs. We don't have time for a cripple to sit around."
taking a look at his heavy weapon expert.
"Take a look around for the Captain. he's around here someplace."
A salute and the soldier started down the halls, gun ready and on the trigger, to find the captian.

"Then you better start dragging me." Okay so that wasn't going to work, thus she just supported herself on the locker, doing much what she did again before moving onto the other two that were left. "What next killjoy?" No really she was getting into some pain here.
"Try to make it five Jessica...we're having problems and no one who knows how to handle this man." They were screwed. But a look to the fenrir behind him who was making anxious movements. "You want to help your mommy?" Thus his attention turned to his communicator as it went off.
"Captain you have one coming your way. Armed."
Michael nodded and started backing down the hallway, backing the wolf up too though he didn't like it...and tucked into an alcove there, readying his gun. Though the would was tucked at the end of the hallway, crouched down. Wow...he was actually kind of hard to see, his fur matching the color of the ship metal and well the safety lights made it kind of hard to see anyway.

Lockers opened, and good lord. James was a horder of very nice toys.
"We got two special forces plasma rifles, one plasmonic magnum, and...hey I didn't even know they made these anymore. it's one of those oriental laser swords! man this guy loves his stuff."
Norrington rolled his eyes lightly.
"Give Explosives a rifle. you take one, I'll take the magnum and the blade."
Then a look to Jelena.
"Sit down for now. I see you weren't bluffing about your ability to walk and stand. we'll move on once our gunner gets back."
"Gotcha. James will be ready to go in five."
flicking her communicator closed and going to work on the doubletime.

She slid down to sit on the floor...oh this was backfiring on her. Now she had given weapons to those that did't need weapons...not that James didn't have others elsewhere...he had a whole stash on Envision in her office, he convinced her to let him on the principle that since he was licensed to work there now, it was best if he had some weaponry there just in case. "My God, you have something that passes for compassion."
Michael had worked himself up onto the piping that ran each hall of the ships, bracing himself there while the gunner walked the hall. Of course the man was interesed by the thing that occassionaly twiched at the end of the hallway...and Noris waited until he was passing right under him and was about to find out exactly what was at the end of that hallway...and then dropped down on top of him, making his lose his gun as Noris pistol whipped him and moved off. "Come here you big dog. Sniff this...this is the enemy." He actually got a growl back as the fenrir did sniff the once conscious man. Did this thing understand him. Though he stepped back as the wolf laid a big paw on the man's back...and pressed down, causing a sickly crushing sound.
"No, we're not using you as bait. You're too fragile...and if you die then there's no reason that he wouldn't use her again. Besides he knows he can push her a bit more than you. We stay put for now."

of course being jumped on a pistolwhipped did get a loud srpay of fire, which was easy to hear, and a scream. even an unconcious person woudl scream in wakefulness with somethign squising them. though it died out rather quickly.
Norrigton's head shot up, though none of the others seemed to notice. what the hell was that? his men didn't scream. even if you shot them, they grunted or the like. not screamed.
then his attention turned to the two left. hmm. not good at all. should have brought two teams.
"We got what we came for here. Now, Doctor. I think we should head to your pet project."
Strapping the blade adn the gun on his hips.
James' eyes opened and he sat up, easily and functional. But didn't say thanks, didn't say a word. his hand went to cannon mode, and he got up and started to Erik and Rennell.
Jessica just grinned and shook her head, then hit her comm.
"James up and running. headed out the door just now. heading to the main bridge now."
