Welcome to Gaia! ::

That got a giggle of sorts from Rennell. "God forbid he mess up your office space. Here I was thinking she'd be angry that he you know...put a bomb on her and was going to blow her into little Jessica chunks, but hey..."

"Good to see you've gotten your pleasantries back and aren't fainting like a girl." Giving his own chuckle...had to keep from stressing too badly as they waited after all. "Very well then, but do stand down and try not to get in the fray...this is already way more out of proportion than I ever wanted it."

"Oh no, I always find what I want." Point in case the crowbar she had her hands on and was just waiting to use. Though as she watched him near a console, she got one of those brilliant ideas. Hey, a whack with a crowbar may not bring him down but his big bad bioware self would get a nice jolt out of that console should say a crowbar impale it. Mmmm, lovely thought.

"Kill James? Is this one of those petty pissing contests you men have? Upset because you lost?" You never knew when to shut up, did you Jelena? Nope. Though yes she was oblivious to James or Erik as well, and the fenrir that lurked using the ships coloring as his cover. "Information? Alright." Thus turning and strolling closer, yay for his turned back and then when she got close enough....look at that, crowbar in the console he had his hand on. Though she was quick to let go and then take to the device on her wrist, typing in a quick six digit code. "I'm sorry...but it seems I've acciently erased all the data...oopsie, silly me."

Yes she had just destroyed the MISSED archive...which mean also that any system accessing it at the time would loose it's connection. Thus the data was out of Fleet banks and only existed in a form of barely legible papers and any external downloads of the information. Hm, how many people were privy to such a thing.

She had halfway been expecting some for of retaliation, after all, that was what you got when you got that close to someone who was a walking nutcase. Though yes of course getting hit by a man who had bioware as body parts would set you easily to the ground and skidding across a slick floor to hit your own desk if you were less bioware inclined. Great...now she'd probably have to get some dentistry done...that was if her jaw wasn't fractured.

Not a good time to be soft and squishy. Though even as he picked her up and she was in the process of swallowing a mouthful of blood, she smirked at him. Oh look she had hit a nerve. "Oh so you go and make yourself a tank to compete with him? You're still only second rate on top of being a sore looser." Yes Jelena, just keep putting your hand on the burner why don't you? But green eyes turned hard on him then. "Your plan B there isn't going to work jackass." There was a reason they were in space for this project. Or more pointedly...those echoes left space and all the horribly sterile conditons...and everything would start rapidly decaying and such after the eventual death from the atmosphere changing and system assult they would suffer. The genetics would be useless...she wasn't stupid enough to 'play god' and not have a failsafe...

But he didn't know that so let's not let him into that tip and focus on the more technical aspect. "This cruiser doesn't have enough power to sustain the life support, engines, and thrust systems, not to mention the defense systems and enviroment sheild's needed to get to Earth. This thing would just be a floating piece of space junk in no time."Another smirk, though a cringe....she was in some bad pain right now. "We Fleet crew may be eccentric, but we do know our limits..." Then a tilt of her head. "Why are they so important to you? They're just animals."

Thobias licked his muzzle in anxious fashion, shifting a little in his positon, debating on what to do as he saw Norrington take a hit at mommy. Though there was no blood...and she was still moving. Was this like a pack thing where they intimidated each other to decide pecking order. But this one smelled like the others...which wasn't good. Okay, let's just creep a little closer.

Erik about jumped right up when Norrington decided to strike his friend, though the motion caught in teh corner of his eye from James stopped him...reluctantly so. And then they turned to the shift of gray as well...yeah...just what they needed...

"Yes well...she's eccentric. Besides, in all aspects of jobs and not on anything else, you're more important. You keep people alive, she just plays pet shop...in layman's terms of course. Almost done?"

She gave perhaps a perverse giggle. "You only think you know what you're talking about." Before giving one of those pained noises at being tossed down...that man was nowhere near gentle was he? Of course not...types like him usually weren't. "I suggest you go to hell. Or the nearest airlock would suffice for me." Though then came the instinctive 'duck and cover' motions when that noise went off. Next thing she knew, there was an arm around her waist and she was being pulled up an dragged. Why did everyone want to drag her today?!

He gave a whistle. "Come on Thobias." Though he was contending with a struggling Jelena who obviously wasn't liking this idea of being taken out of the fray...she was stubborn like that wasn't she? Of course. "Oh stop it and let them handle it, this is thier fight not ours." Thus quickly codding the door, waiting for the fenrir to slip through as he wanted to be with mommy and thus coding it shut too, activating the blast doors then.

"I had things under control Erik!" Squinting an eye and trying to keep upright as she had a big wolf licking at her looking to cure wounds but was only succeeding to make her wet with wolf spit.

"I hardly call that a form of control."

"So what? We're just going to sit here and let things happen out there? I don't think so." Attempting to get up, only to have Thobias step gently on her to keep her down. "What you too?"

"We stay here...and...wait." Oh wait...was that all that was left? If Norrington got through James...well they were probably toast. "Damn it." He thought for a moment. "Lillia, it's Erik again, I need a bridge report on things, I'm not picking up any monitoring for Envision, connections are down, but bridge should be able to get it."

"And now he gets it..."

"Not at the moment, but who knows who else defied the Broken Wing code and is loitering around here." Taking his gun form her and the left over one as well, shoving that in his belt. "If we gather another, it can go there. But we need to get going and we need to get going now."

"Back into the fire. I do believe we are heading for Envision, yes?"

Jelena's office now looked like a hurricane had gone through it. about two thirds now of Norrigton's flesh and unifrom was gone, showing the bionic cyborg for what he was. James was looking like a boxer in the ninth round. bruised, beaten, and bloody.

"you can't beat me, James. I'm stronger, faster, and more durable than you. and those blast doors won't keep me out for long."


James got himself up from the side of the desk, wiping his face and spitting out a bit of blood.

"You won't make it past me. This is my fleet, my house. and no one is going to beat me in my own home."


"Space is no one's home. least of all yours."

Before he got thrown, into the blast doors with a loud thunk, and a few pnches to the ribs that cracked some bone, and he was flung to the side again, though not before another shot from James' cannon sent him into the wall, denting in some more of his bioware.

"You won't learn. my body was prepared for you. you can't damage me more than a few dents in the fender."


Then he got thrown back again while James smashed his bioware arm into his face, throwing him and then grabbing the crowbar that jelena had jammed into the console earlier and started beating him with that as well.

"I don't want to damage it, I'm going to smash it just like I did last time!"


Norrington grabbed the wrist with the crowbar, and twisted it, forcing him to drop it before slamming him hard enough int otoeh dorrs to shatter the outer glass, if not the blast doors..though ther ewas some fraying aroudn the neck, sparking wire that got undone a bit.

"I want this to be long and slow. for every year I had to lay in that bed."


"righto birdboy."

grabbing her gun and putting it in a shoulder holster, and then grabbing a clipboard computer and out the door.

"Fastest way to Envision without a transporter, Captian."

Lillia was in a heated battle with Catalyst. "I don't care who you have to disconnect or what you have to do but we need more power on Envision." She paused and listened as yet another stream of denials and explanations came through.

"Listen to me, very carefully. As of right now you have over a three hundred echos, of varying breeds who are quite upset right now over the fact that most of their normal amenities are gone. I don't think I need to describe to you what some of them are actually capable of. Now, unless you want echos in the hall bringing Fleet down around your ears, which the Captain is not going to like at all, you will get me power to all the back generator and get all systems for Envision online. Understand?"

She tapped her foot and listened to the curses coming through the comm. A moment later the lights flickered and went out. She sighed. "Don't kill the bridge you idiot! Kill something else. Radiance, Ingenuity, something!" The lights flickered and came back on and she growled. Thank god for grav boots. "Working on it Erik, let me know if you notice anything that's not being attended to."

"You're entirely too casual about all of this...maybe you need a trip to Fein." Rolling his eyes before looking back to Captain as they were nearing thier destination. He could already pick things up. "A lot of hard hitting sounds liek when you drop something. A lot of metallics....Moira and Norrington are probably going at it." But then a blink as something really big blipped across his particular brand of vision. "And I think a wall just fell..."

"Alright no more play, let's go!" Thus breaking into a run to get there, drawing guns as he did so.

Wall didn't fall but Thobias had started digging harder at that tapping and taunting, in a feral mindset not wanting to listen to anyone right now. Thus as soon as he felt it weak enough he slammed through the barrier and right onto norrington, tackling him down, more or less standing on him with his front paws and clamping his jaws onto one arm, going about the task of looking to rip it off and maybe eat it. No one makes mommy bleed, you hurt the alpha you deal with me.



Jelana smirked back at him and cocked her rifle she had fetched from the weapons locker in the room. "Drugs...lots of them." And she was probably slowing getting a high off of them too. But hey what worked worked. Thus she ran her way down the hall and slipped through the doors as well, over to James since Thobias had Norrington occupied. "You're an idiot are you trying to kill yourself?" Thus James quickly got an injection in the arm. Gotta love those drugs sometimes.

"Double ********. Lillia! I need full power to Envision now and be ready to cut it back down to twenty fire percent at a moments notice!" Thus down the hall with him too...first the fenrir then the scientist...he couldn' win. But he merely stayed and acted as a barrier between the back lab entrance and Norrington, Thobias in front of him who was chewing at Norrington. Heh, go puppy.

James was staggering himself up with Jelena's help, and motioned for everyone to get back, trying to get back himself.

"thobias, let him go!"


Norrington had been prepared for that. which is why the arm that got thrown up to 'defend' himself was not the same arm that had the blade function. which ment while thobias was trying to tear one off, the other hand became a long, sharp blade. which got jammed into the big dogs side a little under the underbelly.

"Down boy!"

adn then Norrignton did something a human most certainly couldn't have done, he forced that Fenrir off him through brute force, and stood up, grabbing at his lowerjaw at this point and trying to pry his mouth open.

"Let me go, dog. I have things to do."

Not that Thobias wasn't doing a nasty number on that arm. damn setbacks. but he didn't need two arms to deal with the likes of James this time, now did he.


She broke out in a run when Micheal did.

"I do not! just keeping myself occupied to keep from panic setting in, Mister Sunshine."

Norrington got leveled again, and got himself up, one hand a bloody sword, the other a torn into mess. and what did the lunatic do? gave a big grin.

"such a good doggy."

the blade retracting, and the hand refitting. the other arm, however, was mangled really beyond working. Norrington looked at it, then at teh guns aimed at him. and heard Michael's words. something about those was going to be very bad for him.

"Now now. kill me...and you won't be able to learn whom set this all up."

Working his was toward the wall, though keeping Thobias' stalking form in the way of at least one gun at all times.


James growled lightly, picking himself up and looking at the gun, and then aiming it and trying to get a good shot in.

"We know that already. so no go there, General."


Jessica piped in there as well.

"you're done, you lunatic. and this time you're not coming back."


"Am I now. Are you so sure about that? I notice four guns of the same type. you didn't come in shooting, so obviously all four are needed."

Lightly touching the wall.

"adn the big puppy here is providing wonderufl cover, don't you think?"

Before a quick motion activated the laser blade he'd gotten from Ingenuity, adn ripping a hole in the wall. if he was correct, it woudl be the outter hull, the blade would get at least a pinhole of space, which is all it takes for Vaccum to rip a really big hole. which he was planing on one of two things. running out the door while they all paniced, or letting the vaccum take him out to safety and running over the hulls back to the ship he used to get here.
