Sat in the Command seat nursing a still bleeding lip, Carl watched the planet slowly rotating below them .....
They had returned from their visit to the surface only moments ago, and he was reflecting on how the meeting's with both groups had gone ...
Southern Continent ::
Northern Continent ::
USS Raven-B ::
"You should let someone take care of that." Calli said, a wry grin forming as she watched Carl's lip beginning to swell and discolour.
"I will ....." he replied, looking at the planet for a long moment. Harry turned and informed him that all the quarantine buoy's were now in place and he had received the activation codes from the Laffite. he stood and walked to the front of the Bridge, almost dwarfed by the massive view-screen, then turned to Marionette, "..... Take us out of orbit Commander. Full impulse."
~~~~~
As the Raven reached the edge of the Culuanni system he ordered the ship halted and turned to face back into Proxima. He took his seat, the Bridge totally silent .....
"Activate the Quarantine Buoy's ....." The Proxima Culuanni System was now effectively in an invisible sphere over a light year in diameter. Nothing would enter that sphere, ever. They would live or die on their own merit's now, and no-one would ever know the outcome of his actions ..... He hoped that those resident on the planet would thrive. He silently wished them luck .....
"Helm. Plot a course for Star Base Forty Seven."
"Course plotted and locked in Admiral." Marionette confirmed.
"Warp five ....... Engage." ..........
They had returned from their visit to the surface only moments ago, and he was reflecting on how the meeting's with both groups had gone ...
Southern Continent ::
On the much warmer, Southern Continent, the relocation of the former un-named, now calling themselves 'Haveners' had gone exceptionally well. Structures were already being marked out, and he could see the makings of a town square coming together in the jumble of temporary shelters. They couldn't praise the Raven Officer's for all their help and the freedom they now had. The fact they could now begin to establish themselves outside their former Community was all they had desired since the fall of the Federation, and their exodus into deep space ... Each of the crew had their moment of embarrassment as the newly appointed officials informed them that buildings, even streets would be named in their honour. The still unfinished Town Hall would bare Admiral Torek's name ... He tried to talk them out of it, saying it should be named after one of their own, but no luck, 'The Torek Building' is was, like it or not ... He finally, reluctantly, accepted the accolade and everyone made their final farewells ......
Northern Continent ::
On the colder, Northern Continent, the meeting with the former Council members of the Community vessel was totally opposite ! ... With a total of less than two hundred, this community was much smaller, and their efforts to establish order were in evidence. Already they Council had ensured their 'employees' knew their place. They were building and preparing meals for their rulers. The atmosphere was anything but jovial, in fact, it was almost frightening to see ... Walking into the middle of the camp Carl had asked if there was anything further they required. Several took it upon themselves to 'demand' more help, while other's demanded weapons, food replicators, practically a list of everything they were forbidden to have. Carl was talking to Jessica when Teiler entered the makeshift hall, and without giving anyone else a glance he strode to Carl and demanded they be taken back to their ship.
"You saw the detonation 'Mister' Teiler .... The ship has gone." Peers said, exasperated at the man's continued defiant attitude, but the former Mage spun on him and told him to remain silent. T'brel simply laughed at this and stood relaxed but ready should the man decide to attack him out of shear frustration, but Teiler returned his attention to Carl:
"We are leaving shortly Jessica." Carl said, ignoring the glare of the man before him, which only infuriated him more, and before the Security Officer's could react, he jumped on Torek, but the Admiral was too quick, and the Mage only managed to land one punch before Carl threw him to the ground and two Security Officer's landed on him. He wiped the blood away with the back of his hand then turned to Jessica, "I am sorry it had to come to this, but the Federation could see no other option ... Goodbye, and best of luck."
He stepped back and motioned for Security to release Teiler, who immediately sprang forward, halting in his tracks as he faced the business end of two phaser's ... Carl took one of the weapon's and trained it on Teiler as he tapped his Comm badge:
=^= Raven =^=
=^= Raven .. Transport Security along with Commander Peers and Commander Marionette =^=
The four personnel vanished from sight and his Comm badge chirped to life:
=^= Transport complete Admiral .. I have a lock on remaining personnel =^=
He looked at the former Council members for a long moment then replied:
=^= Energize =^=
USS Raven-B ::
"You should let someone take care of that." Calli said, a wry grin forming as she watched Carl's lip beginning to swell and discolour.
"I will ....." he replied, looking at the planet for a long moment. Harry turned and informed him that all the quarantine buoy's were now in place and he had received the activation codes from the Laffite. he stood and walked to the front of the Bridge, almost dwarfed by the massive view-screen, then turned to Marionette, ".....
