John was working fast and furiously to get emergency power up. "Finally, he had emergency power working, but not fully. It will have to do" he thought. =^=McDuff to Sturek, we have 65% emergency power working=^=
Sturek =^=Acknowledge, McDuff. Keep working on it. Keep alert, some of the crew is engaged with Clade's forces on deck 3. Sturek out=^=.
John continued his work, but a part of him would like gone with Harry and Grace to confront Clade. John knew instinctively that Clade would have stayed on his ship. He also knew he was needed here, too.
Suddenly, John heard a commotion outside of engineering's doors. The doors were locked as well as a forcefield he had eracted. It would take anyone trying to get in special codes, that only John knew. Just the same, he remained on alert, as there was no way of knowing how much information Clade had on the Nevada-A or it's crew. John immediately felt suspicious of everyone he ever met and everything he has ever said to non-crew members. He didn't like feeling that way at all, this made him work even harder at getting full power back.

Harry and Grace were silent as they continued their way through Clade's ship.
Harry's thought's were disturbing. Once they reached the bridge, he wasn't sure what to do. Clade's personal transporter presented the largest problem. Also, what, if anything, does the Crozillians have that Clade and the Tal'Shiar want. Then he remembered something.
Whispering "Grace do you remember your vision about the Romulans underwater?"
Grace also whispering "Vividly. Do you think that might have something to do with why the Tal'Shiar is here with Clade?"
"That is exactly what I am thinking. Do you think there is anyway you could tap into that vision again? Maybe there is more to that vision then you first saw?"
"I can try, but we'll have to stop. You hold the tricorder. I will have to meditate to try and localize my mind."
Harry took the tricorder from Grace, keeping an eye on the readings to make sure their bio-signature were still being masked and also the life signs on the bridge.
Harry watched as Grace began her meditation. Her level of concentration always amazed Harry, he said quietly "Good luck, Grace" knowing that on some level she could hear him.
In her mind, Grace began to see water and began speaking in a montone "Rolling waves, crashing on rocks. No, not rocks. A ship sinking into the water. Going down into the depths of the ocean. The inhabitants of the ship, scrambling to try to get the engines restarted, as the ship keeps sinking, panic sets into the crew of the ship. Some are trying to find a way off the ship. You can hear the hull start to crush from the pressure of the water on the outside of the ship. One person, appears to be the captain is only concerned about one thing. The captain is heading toward a device. What is that device? Now Grace can see it, it is a cloaking device. The captain is trying to activate something, what I can't see. Hull buckles". The vision ends and Grace becomes more coherent.

Sturek, was on the bridge with a skeleton crew. A forcefield had been erected, keeping Clade's crew at bay.
Sturek had been using the sensors scanning the planet. The logic of this situation had been eluding him, he logically concluded that there was something on the planet that Clade and the Romula wanted. It had to be something so important, that they would possible remove or kill the crew of the Darwin to possess it.
To Struek, killing was not logical, therefore a conclusion had to be found somewhere else.

Rick had been going deck by deck on the Nevada-A to get to engineering to assist John. Rick had been able to avoid any intruders, until now! He hid in a jeffries tube, but was able to see who the intruders were.
There were only 2 of them, Romulans. Rick was able to overhear their conversation.
"Clade is not thinking correctly. These humans are no match for our superior strength and knowledge." The first Romulan said.
The second Romulan agreed "Clade is a human and therefore thinks like one. These humans do not know what is on the the planet that the other search party is attempting to retrieve from that ship under the water."
The Romulans continued to walk away before Rick had a chance to hear anymore. =/\=Sharpe to the bridge=/\= Rick whispered.
=/\=Sturek here Rick=/\=. =/\=Commander, I just over heard 2 Romulans talking about something another search party on the planet is looking for, but I was unable to hear what it was. I did hear what they are looking for is underwater=/\=. =/\=Very well, Rick. I will concentrate my scans on the bodies of water and surrounding area. Sturek out.=/\=
As Rick continued on his way cautiously to engineering. He knew that John probably had one of his forcefields up and would have to go the long way. Besides he didn't want to run into any more Romulans, until he had back-up.

=/\=Sharpe to McDuff=/\=
=/\=McDuff here. What is it Rick?=/\=
=/\=Lower the forcefield around jeffries tube 4, I am right inside=/\=
=/\=Acknowledge Rick. It will be a minute=/\=
John gave the computer a set of numbers lowering the forcefield only from the door of the jeffries tube Rick was in.
Rick entered engineering, as John replaced the forcefield "Good to see you made it, Rick."
"It's good to see your forcefield is ho,ding. I ran into a couple of Romulans on my way here. There is another search party on the planet looking for a ship that crashed in the water. Theres is some device on that ship they are trying to retrieve." RIck informed John.
John thought for a moment then said "Didn't Grace have a vision about Romulans drowning or something like that."
"I believe so. I informed Sturek about the conversation I overheard and he is using the sensors to scan the bodies of water on the planet for the ship and a device." Rick said.
"If Sturek can find the device, maybe we can use the transporter to to remove it and bring it here." =/\=McDuff to Sturek=/\=
=/\=Sturek here. What is it John?=/\=
=/\=Rick has made it to engineering and informed me of the search. When you locate the device, I suggest we use the transporter to remove it=/\=
=/\=Logical, John. I will inform you as soon Ias the device is located. Ready the transporter. Struek out=/\=
"Vulcan's are so conversational" Rick said good humorly. "I wonder how the captainand Grace are doing on Clade's ship? I hope they are okay"
"I hope so, too. Harry was determined when he left. And Grace, well, I've never seen her like that. But then, a part of me would like to be with them. The Nevada was a good ship. Because of Clade, it was destroyed, and hundreds of people were injuried and killed on the starbase when Clade could have prevented it." John said remembering.
"I remember even though I never served on the Nevada but, I was there when it was destroyed. I feel it, too, John." Rick said alittle hurt.
John looking at Rick "I am sorry, Rck, all of us who were there at the time feel it . Let's hope that Sturek can find the device and Harry and Grace can disable Clade."

On Clade's ship, Harry and Grace were in a jeffries tube near the bridge:
"Grace," Harry said startling Grace "Remember that time in sickbay when you held that entity in place with your mind?"
"Yes, I remember. What does that have to do with now?" Grace asked.
"Well, I was wondering if you could use your mind to locate Clade's personal transporter?" Harry asked.
Grace thought a moment "I could probably locate the device, then what. No wait, I see where you are going with this. You want me to try and remove it from him, don't you?"
"Exactly! After you remove it, I will erect a forcefield around him and the Romulan using this tricorder from the Valiant. Then maybe we can get some answers about why they are here." Harry explained.
"Alright here goes nothing" Grace began the meditation process again, her concetration was going to have to be at it's maximum for what Harry propsed she do.
In her mind, Grace could see the bridge, there is Clade, her mind went under his cloak he was wearing. That's it, I hope she thought. This next part was a very tricky process, "I see the device. As soon as you give me the word, Harry I will atempt to rmove it. We must be quick as I can not hold this level of concentration for too long"
Harry knew Grace would soon be in pain, he programed the tricorder to project a forcefield "Begin the removal Grace"
Grace began to attempt the removal of Clade's transporter. In a split second it was floating through the air, Clade looked shocked and before he could react, Harry erected the forcefield around Clade and the Romulan with the transporter device safely out of range. Grace slumped, Harry would give her a few moments to recover, in the meantime he had a few questions he needed answered.
Clade was furious "Just what do you think you are doing, Captain. I am part of Section 31. there is no justification for you action"
"Wrong, Clade. I have every reason to be here since your people have boarded my ship. Not to mention the whereabouts of the crew of the Darwin." Harry said.
"I do not answer to you WeeHarry." Clade replied.
"First, you will order your crew to stand down and go the shuttlebay of the Nevada to await further orders from you. Second, you will tell me your reason for being here and your alliance with the Tal'Shiar." Harry was keeping his temper under control, barely, when he noticed Grace coming out of the jeffiries tube "Counselor?"
"I'm fine, Captain" Grace answered "Any answers yet?
Clade spoke angrily "Nice trick, Counselor. I should have known it was you acting like a ghost."
"Not a ghost, just some telekinectics I've been working on." Grace answered calmly. In fact, to Harry she seemed too calm, not quite herself. "Wait" Harry thought "She is still in a trance, trying to get into Clade's thoughts without him knowing she is there. Good thinking, Grace. Keep trying."

Grace was searching Clade's mind trying to find out what the device was and where it was.
"Concentrate. Searching. Wait, what is that. An Interphase generator! The Romulans have finally perfected it. They don't know yet where it is located. Looking in the water on the surface to find it"
"Captain?" Grace came out of her trance.
Harry could tell that Grace had finished her search "Yes, Grace, did you find out anything?"
"How could she find out anything, she hasn't asked any questions?" Clade asked with suspition.
"Harry, the Romulans have perfected their Interphase generator with the help of Section 31. That is the device they are searching for. Clade doesn't want it known the help that was given to the Romulans in perfecting this device. Also, the schematics went down with the ship, and it could take years to re-build it without those schematics or the device."
Clade and the Tal'Shiar both were shocked. "How could you know that information. There are no records anywhere about the Interphase generator except on the ship that crashed?" The Romulan commander asked.
Harry answered a little smugly "Maybe we found the information as we made our way through your ship or"
Clade interupted "Or maybe the Counselor read our minds."
"She is human, Human's can not read minds like Betizeds!" The Roumlan said disbeliving.
"Sir, you can believe or not believe that is your perrogative and irrelevant at this point. We can debate about Humans later." Harry said. "Now, Clade, contact your people and tell them to go to shuttlebay one on the Nevada."
Clade was not defeated yet "You know what the device is, that doesn't mean anything. You don't have the device in your possesion."
"True, we don't have the device, yet, but we will." Harry replied.
During the exchange, Grace had been searching the bodies of water on the planet in her mind for the Interphase generator. Now that she knew what to look for, it made it easier to find. "There I found it!"
"Captain, I have the coordinates."
"Use your telepathy to transmit the coordinates to John. We wouldn't want this information to get back to Clade's search party on the planet."
"Aye, Captain" Grace said, then went inward and found John's mind. "John, the device Section 31 and the Tal'Shiar are looking for is an Interphase generator. The coordinates where it can be found are 524387.32. Transport it directly to engineering."
"I can't right now, Grace. Main power is still not online" John said outloud.
Rick looked around but didn't see Grace, then realized that John was talking to Grace in his mind. "I'm glad she's never done that to me." He thought.
On Clade's ship, Grace walked to a console and pushed a few buttons releasing the power drain from the Nevada. Telepathically Grace said "Main power should be back, John. Try it now"
"Thanks, Grace" John said in his mind. He touched his comm badge =/\=McDuff to Sturek. Main power is back online. Gace has sent me coordinates of an Interphase generator. I am commencing to transport it to engineering=/\=
=/\=Good work, engineer. Let me know when you have the device. We still have to get by the invading forces.=/\=
John put the coordinates in the console, instantly the Interphase generator materialized. =/\=I have the device, Commander=/\=. In his mind, John let Grace know the device was on the Nevada.
Grace turned to Harry "The Interphase generator is now on the Nevada, Harry."
"Good work, Grace. Now, Clade, will you tell your people to stand down or do we have to have more deaths on our hands."
"I don't answer to lowly Star Fleet Captains." Clade said still refusing to accept defeat.
"Are you ready, Grace."
"I am." Grace replied.
"What are you talking about? She can't do anything more, can she?"
"You'd be surprised what she can do with her mind. She could send a telepathic suggestion to all your people. She could suggest to each of your people to hurt, possible kill each other. We would rather take care of this more peacfully though, the choice is yours Clade. Yours and the Romulan commander there." Harry said, hoping they wouldn't call there bluff. Grace could probably do that but would refuse, she respected life too much to take it, Harry knew.
Clade and the Tal'Shiar argued for a few minutes, then the Tal'Shiar commander touched his communicator "All forces on the Nevada and planet, stand down. Those on the planet prepare for transport to the Nevada. Those on the Nevada, give your weapons to the Nevada's crew and report to their shuttlebay for containment. We are defeated." Clade was furious but transmitted the same message to his people as well.
Harry touched his comm bage =/\=WeeHarry to the Nevada=/\=
=/\=Sturek here=/\=
=/\=Commander, the invading forces have been ordered to lay down their arms. Have a security detail detain them in the shuttlebay. Also, have Commander McDuff begin the transport of the forces on the planet to the shuttlebay. Communications should be working now, contact Star Fleet for directions on what to do with these people, I don't want them on my ship any longer then they have to be!!=/\= Harry had had enough of Clade and the Romulan and their cloak and dagger games.
Commander Sturek followed orders. Star fleet's orders were to put the Section 31 and the Tal'Shiar forces on the disabled Darwin. The Nevada was to tractor beam the Darwin and Clade's ship back to Starbase.
McDuff had transported the drowned Romulan ship and bodies off the planet. Star Fleet's decision about Crozilon IV was to leave after the clean up and hope that our presence in their space did not affect their development too much.
The Nevada arrived at the starbase and deposited their charges, glad to be rid of them. They were now Star Fleet's problem.
The crew of the Nevada took a much needed shore leave.
What the crew of the Nevada didn't know is that once again Section 31 had secured the release of Clade, his crew and Tal'Shiar forces.
Star Fleet also had to release the Interphase Generator to Section 31, but Section 31 did not know that Star Fleet engineers and scientists had studied the device, made a schematic and had removed a few parts. This meant that Section 31 and Tal'Shiar forces had to start over on the Interphase generator.
