Nathan could do nothing but look on in fear as the Cardassian shoved the woman aside and pulled out an immensely large knife. His eyes widened as the Cardassian approached and started cutting the length of his arm, drawing blood in the process.
Nathan screamed, expelling preciously contained air from his lungs as he did so. "I'm telling you all I know," he gasped between screams of agony.
The next thing he knew was being blasted backwards, blinded and deafened by flash-bang and stun grenades. The last he saw was shadows entering the room, overpowering the woman and the Cardassian. Then he passed out altogether, from shock, pain and lack of air.
(rescue team..don't kill the woman!...well and me lol)

Leo Paced outside of sickbay nevously. He ignored the looks he was getting from passing officers and crewman. He was getting very nervous. Nathan had told him that she wasn't due for a couple of weeks. That was 2 days ago. His combadge chirped suddenly, taking him out of his dreading.
=^="Captain Potter, you may re-enter sickbay."=^=
Leo pretty much broke into a sprint back towards the door to sickbay. He entered and walked fast towards where Havraha was lain. As he got close he saw that the nurse was holding a baby boy and that Havraha was covered by a sheet. When he got close the Nurse handed him the boy.
"Congratulations sir, you have a fine and healthy son, but." she shook her head sadly, "the mother passed away just after childbirth. I'm sorry."
Leo looked down on the child in his arms, then at Havraha on the biobed. He looked down at the infant again and said softly," S'harien."
The nurse looked at him quizzically. " I'm sorry, what did you say, sir?"
" I said S'harien. The boys name is S'harien."
At that moment his combagde chirped.
=^= Captain Potter. We've located Dr. Van Breughel. Report to the Transporter room in 10 minuites with your team.
Leo looked up and at the nurse. He had a single tear falling down his right cheek. " Can you look after him for awhile? I have a duty to do."
The nurse nodded and reached out for the child. Leo handed her the child and wiped his face. " Thank you." Leo turned and walked out of sickbay headed towards the marine deck.
:Transporter Room:
Leo walked into the Transporter room with his squad. They were all wearing combat armor and combat harnesses. On which were the standered gear for a rescue operation. They all carried the APR's that the Loriens had leant them.
He and his squad stepped onto the transporter padd. " Half of you load stun grenades, the rest of you load flashbangs into your APR's. This is a rescue op. You know the drill, weapons on light stun. Set selections on 3 round bursts." He looked at the transporter chief. " Puts us down 10 meters away from the entrance of the room. Energize."
:Station:
Leo rematerielized in a deserted hallway on one of the Loriens space stations. He made a hand signal and he and 4 other members went to the side of the hallway that the entranceway was situated on and walked sidways along the wall. While the sniper set up her APR at the end of the hallway and covered the doorway.
Leo leadded the way and stopped at one side of the doorway. He motiuoned for his demo expert to set up a smalll charge on the door. He brought up his rifle and set the stun grenade in his launcher. The squad set up so they could all fire into the room at once. He nodded to the demo tech and looked away from the door.
The door exploded inward. They all fired through the open hole and waited till the grenades exploded. Once they did they charged in with Leo at the lead. He quickly ran in and sweeped the room with his rifle and triggered a burst at a man who had a knife on Nathan. All three pulses hit the man and sent him flying. the other marines took down whoever else who hadn't been taken down by the grenades.
He got the medic to check the prisoneers and went over to Nathan. He saw that he was cut on the inside of his elbow. Leo tapped his combadge.
=^= Potter to Jefferson. We have located Dr van Breughel and aprhended his captors. Please have Cmdr Rezula have a security personnell waiting when we beam over the captives. And inform the Loriens that they can return to the area. Potter out.=^=
The marines had set up the captives in one area ready for transport. He motined for his marines to come over to the Dr. Just then their Sniper came in Leading a contiegeint of Lorien security. Leo nodded and called for transport.
When they returned to the jefferson, Leo and another marine carried Nathan to sickbay.
They entered sickbay just as Nathen was regaining consiousness. The nurse who had helped deliver S'harien rushed over to help Nathan onto a biobed. Leo dissmissed the marine with him and stood by Nathan and the Nurse while the Nurse checked Nathan over. The nurse motioned over to a crib type thing close by. Leo nodded and walked over.
He looked down at S'harien. He rested his rifle down beside the crib and picked him up. He craddled him in his arms and walked back over to Nathan.
Nathan looked at Leo and Leo showed him S'harien.

OOC:Bit of a backpost here.
"Galt, what does this mean? I cant get a match on his DNA."
"either they changed it, or he's left the station."
"can the change it?"
"they can now. fairly new to us, actually. at least easily. but Look a the correlation." She pulled up a list of the closest results. "Now we can correlate this result with something else. Stress level, say."
One Result stood out.
"I think that was too easy. but the Jefferson should know just the same."
"It wasn't too easy. This is a secret piece of equipment on this station. Most people don't know this exists."
"Right. I would go ahead and clean the injectors. I'll tell the Jefferson."
"right." Galt Nodded. "thank you for your help on that."
"it was nothing. We were the ones who needed the help."
they smiled at each other.
Then Jeff turned away to the panel. "Pudlo to Jefferson. We have a lead for you. transmitting coordinates now."

(Sorry for the LOA I have been trying to adjust to where I can do my hw and get online sometime, but now my hw should die down for awhile.)
As Leo and the rest of the marines went out to get the Doctor Chris sat at his station for the notice for them to leave the station so nothing else may happen. When Leo and the marines returned with the Doctor, Chris then messaged the captain.
=^= Sir Doctor Van Breughal has been returned safely to the Jefferson. =^=
<Zhuk>
Chris ran a scan of the whole ship threw the ops station to see if there was anyone not supposed to be on the Jefferson besides the captors. There was no one on the Jefferson. He was watching over the operation as they beamed aboard and took the Doctor to sick bay. He messaged the Captain again.
=^= Sir they have taken the Doctor to Sickbay. =^=
<Zhuk>
There was no way anyone could get onto this ship without being detected by Chris here at the ops station. Chris thought to himself, But I have been wrong before. Chris then began another sweep through the ship. Nothing unusual any were in the ship. But in main engineering there was something going in the ducts where the plasma coils were kept. Chris had to contact Captain Potter.
=^= Leo can you take a team and check out main engineering I have something going on in the ducts by some of the plasma coils. =^=
Chris sat and waited for Leo's Reply.
<Leo and Zhuk>

Rez didn't want to leave the boy alone. She made sure to keep informed of what was happening, and was happy to hear the doctor would be returning soon.
"Why don't we go see if Nathan has returned?" She said to him, and hoped he would come readily. He left his task, whatever it was Rez didn't know, and left with her.
Rez had a group of security officers meet her in the transporter room, and waited for them to come aboard. When they did so, she noticed the boy went with Nathan and them to, where she guessed, sickbay.
"Okay, take these two to the brig, and make sure they don't get loose. That's the last thing we would need. Let me know when they are in the brig," she ordered and decided to see how the doctor was.
Things in sickbay seemed alright, and she was glad that the boy was with his father again. Without really seeing the doctor, she headed up to the bridge to run her station.

***Slight backposting till I get caught up***
Dr. Keller was standing in Science Lab 1, continuing to work on the three DNA samples that he had picked up while he had been looking for information on what had happened to Nathan. He had all three DNA sequences up on the screen, trying to expand on the decay correlation when he noticed some similarities between Nathan's DNA and that of the human female.
He set the computer to run a correllation analysis and examined the results. The human female had a large number of base pair similarities to Nathan's DNA. Puzzled, Daran said "Computer, examine DNA samples 2 and three and give most likely explanation for correllations."
The computer hummed and beeped its' way along, then spat out an answer. "The most probable explanation for noted correllations is a familial relation between DNA contributors."
Daran was flabbergasted. "The two people are related?"
"Affirmative" the computer replied. "There is a direct line correllation between them, separated by approximately 15 to 20 generations."
Daran quickly reported his findings to Commander Pudlo. The Commander surprised, then asked that he report to the Colonel with the details, which Daran did. The colonel then ordered Daran to Sickbay as Dr. van Breughel had been located and a rescue attempt was beginning.
Dr. Keller acknowledged and hurried to Sickbay. The medical staff had received the warning of incoming casualties, but didn't really know what was going on. Daran quickly filled them in and got the triage unit organized, and just in time as well as a security contingent came into Sickbay with Nathan on a bio stretcher, accompanied by his son, Lt. Potter and Rezula. The boy was obviously upset but seemed happy to see his father.
Freddie looked at Dr. Keller. "My daddy is going to be alright, isn't he?" he demanded.
"Of course Freddie, just give me a second to look him over and I'm sure he'll be fine" Daran said gently, inwardly not sure at all. "Just sit on that chair over there while I examine him..."
Daran directed the stretcher over to the central biobed and had Nathan moved onto it, then gave Nathan a quick examination. He had been beaten, but not overly badly. He also had a severe laceration on one of his arms which had just missed the brachial artery. If it had been nicked, Nathan would have bled out in a matter of minutes. Daran directed Nurse Lowell to close the gash on the arm, while Daran studied his tricorder, than the medical readout. Nathan had an unknown drug in his system that was corrupting his brains' dopamine and serotonin output. It's effect was increasing, leading to the possibility of brain damage if it wasn't stopped shortly.
Daran traced the drug to an injection site in Nathan's upper arm, then shook his head. It was obviously some kind of advance interrogation drug, and at the rate it was affecting Nathan, he didn't have the time to figure out what it was. "Computer, I need to find Dr. Morduc, Chief Medical Officer of the station."
There was a pause, then Morduc's gravelly voice asked "What can I do for you, doctor?"
"I need help" Daran said. "We've gotten our doctor back, but they've injected him with some sort of mind affecting drug. I don't have the time to figure out an antidote. Do you know what it might be?"
"Send me your doctors biotrace" Morduc rasped. Daran sent the data over, then waited impatiently. After a few seconds, Morduc came back on. "It's a synthetic amino-amphetamine created about 10 years ago. I have an antidote here. Stand by."
Abruptly, Morduc appeared in the middle of Sickbay, walked over to Nathan and injected him with a hypospray. Daran turned back to the medical readout and already, Nathan's serotonin and dopamine levels were returning to normal.
Daran sighed with relief as Nathan's eyes fluttered open. Freddy ran over and Daran lifted him up so and placed him on the edge of the biobed. "I told you he'd be alright" Freddie said proudly. "Nothing can stop my daddy!"

"More of the history lesson later, Commander. I think the Science position would be wasted on you, at least for the moment and seeing how I am missing two senior officers and you are senior to those that I have right now, I am asking you to step in as my First Officer, at least on a temporary basis. Once we find out what has happened to Grace and Alex, we'll go from there."
"Understood," Matt replied happy that it would be on a temporary basis. Grace was a great first officer and they would find out what Q did to her and Alex. No sooner had he been made temporary XO, things became very interesting. There was talk about Doctor Van Breughel, the same man he had met on the Raven only a short months ago.
"Commander Reynolds, have Captain Potter and Rezula get their teams together. This has to be done with precision, I want them alive. Now let's go, It's time to put an end to this."
"Aye Captain," Matt said as he excused himself and made his way to the Transporter room. ~Just like old days, but who in the world is Rezula?~ Matt asked himself as he stepped out of the lift and made his way to the transporter room.
"I told you that you were going to be back?" Kristin said as she prepared the transporters.
"I just couldn't stay away plus I thought that you were a bridge officer now," Matt replied as the marines and security officers came into the room. After everyone was there he addressed them.
"I know that some of you are surprised to see and others are asking you selfs who the hell is he," Matt said," well I'm Commander Matthew Reynolds, former operations chief and now temporary executive officer. Captain Potter, you are going to lead an advance team to recover the Dr. and his captors. We need them brought back alive. Commander Rezula, you are his back up."
There was general agreement with his orders and they were quickly carried out. Matt realized that he would need to have a general meeting with all the department chiefs as soon as possible. If the Jefferson was going to run at peak efficiency Matt had to know that things would be done correctly.
"Commander we are receiving word that Captain Potter has recovered the doctor," Kristin reported.
"As soon as he is ready transport the doctor to sickbay and the rest of the away team here," Matt ordered. When the team dematerialized he was surprised to see that the captors were still struggling. Commander Rezula quickly took charge and pretty soon they were on there way to the brig. When everything was done, Matt made sure to keep Leo and Rezula for an impromptu meeting.
"Leo it's nice to see that you are moving up in the world," Matt said," I remember when you were a 3rd Lt."
<Tag Leo>
Matt noticed that Leo's mind was elsewhere, but didn't mentioned it. When he asked to be excused Matt told him it was fine, but as he was leaving the com came to life.
=^= Leo can you take a team and check out main engineering I have something going on in the ducts by some of the plasma coils.=^=
=^=Lt. Pemberton, this is Commander Reynolds, I and Commander Rezula will lead a team=^=
<Tag Chris>
"Commander this will give us the opportunity to get to know each other," Matt said as he exited the transporter room and headed towards main engineering.

The first realisation Nathan had when he woke up was confusion, followed by agony. He squinted up at Daran, only recognizing him after looking at him for several seconds. And by recognizing his chief, he also acknowledged the fact that he was safe now.
The second realisation was that Freddie was sitting beside him on the bed, hugging him tightly and whispering excitedly into his ear. Breathing more easily now with the respirator placed over his face, strength slowly came back to him and he carefully hugged his son. He smiled weakly as Freddie boasted about him to Daran Keller, shrugging ever so slightly.
Then Leo approached, carrying an infant in his arms, introducing it as his son S'harien. Nathan frowned in response, trying to think how Leo had gotten a son. Then he remembered the Romulan woman and he struggled to sit up, while Lowell and Keller held him down. "Did she..." he whispered. At Leo's quiet nod, Nathan let himself be pushed back and sighed in grief.
So much hurt lately occured on the Jefferson, Nathan mused as slowly his full memory returned to him. "What exactly happened?" he wondered, as he had little recollection of what he may or may not have told his captors, he'd been drifting in and out of consciousness during that time, and the lack of oxygen had temporarily affected his short term memory.

Rez was working at her station trying to get caught back up, when she got the call to engineering. She heard that Commander Reynolds was joining her with the team. She sighed wondering why he would want to come, but put it aside for now.
Once in engineering she found him and her team assembled. She heard what he said, and wondered if she should smile. "Yes, it does give us a chance to get to know each other, although it isn't much of a good one. You don't have to make up excuses like this, sir, just ask next time," she said and they walked over to see what the problem was.
Rez ordered them to spread out, and she took out her phaser not wanting to be taken off guard. She stopped listening to the commander and those around her and concentrated her hearing to her surroundings. She knew there was something strange here, then she thought she heard voices.
She realized this wasn't going to be good, and she carefully slinked closer hoping to take them off guard.
"Look, if we take this, then we can make a fortune. No one has these any more. We could sell it to an antique market, and then we will be rich. We would be able to live anywhere in any quadrant without any problems," a male voice said coming from around the corner. It got louder as she got closer. She noticed the commander was with her.
"I am just a little nervous about this plan. What if it doesn't work?" a female voice said. She heard the male laugh.
Rez came around the corner quickly her phaser aimed at them.
"Yeah, what if your plan fails? Like now, freeze!" She yelled, and found one of them had a phaser. She turned around and tried to shoot Rez. Rez wasn't fast enough and was almost shot had it not been for Commander Reynolds' fast actions.
"One down, you going to try for it as well? Go ahead, it will make putting you in the brig a lot easier," she said and he dropped his tools and weapon.
"Good boy, now lay face down on the ground, and dont try anything funny," she said.
=^=Rezula to the team. We found them and could use some backup over here.=^= She gave them the coordiance, and they were there quickly. She let the team take over arresting them.
"Both to the brig immediately, and be careful, he might try something still," she ordered, and a Lieutenant acknowledged. Once the team left, she turned to Reynolds.
"We should tell engineering they need to repair this, and report to the captain what we found," she said wondering what he was waiting for.

It seemed that in six hundred years some things never changed. He would of hoped that the ideals of peace, free trade, and prosperity would reign supreme, but it seemed that was not the case. Instead there was piracy, war, and disillusion. This realization made Matt wonder why Q wanted them to see this.
"We should tell engineering they need to repair this, and report to the captain what we found," she said wondering what he was waiting for.
"Yes we do, but I'm sure that Jeff will no something is wrong when he comes in," Matt said surprised that he hadn't run into Jeff yet. One thing that he could always offer was a suggestion, sometimes they were over the top, but somehow they worked.
"I will report this to the Captain," Matt said," I suggest that you talk to our guest and after you finish, report back to me with suggestions about what we are going to do with them. By the way it was nice to meet you."
<Tag Rezula>
It had felt strange to order people on the Raven, but here it was even worse. He had many friends on the Jefferson who would do what they were asked, but he didn't know Commander Rezula just yet. Hopefully they would become friends soon, because he didn't want to keep giving these ridiculous orders.
"Computer bridge.....belay that.. sickbay," Matt said remembering that the Jefferson had a new medical officer as well. He remembered reading a padd that said something about a Lt. Daran Keller. It didn't take long for him to arrive, and he was surprised to hear the cries of a baby. He was even more surprised to see Leo Potter holding the child. Matt was certain that Leo had not married since he had been gone, but somehow he knew that it was his child. He would talk to Leo soon, but for now he would let father and son have there time together.
"May I ask who you are?" Lt. Daran Keller asked annoyed that someone was intruding in his sickbay.
"I'm the first officer," Matt said which caused the doctor confusion," it's a long story."
<Tag Daran, Leo, and Nathan who is in sickbay too.>
OOC: Mr. Keller I hope you don't mind that I used your character for a line. If it bothers you I will changed it, if not then I'm ;D

Daran continued to monitor Nathan. His blood oxygen level was pretty low, but he had been hesitant to do anything about it in case it made the chemical imbalances in Nathan's cerebral cortex any worse. Now that things were improving, the CMO injected Dr. van Breughel with a tri-ox compound, and his blood oxygen level responded nicely. However, Daran decided to give Nathan a respirator mask, just to make sure.
Daran breathed a sigh of relief. Nathan was probably out of danger now. He was certainly coming back to consciousness quickly. Nathan struggled to sit up as Leo brought a newborn Romulan child, obviously the one from the pregnant female that had been found aboard. Upon discovering that the Romulan woman hadn't made it through the child's birth, Nathan collapsed back onto the biobed and looked up at Daran. "What exactly happened?" he asked.
"You were abducted by two agents who were apparently here from the purist movement of this times Federation" Daran replied bluntly. "Their DNA has been masked or warped somehow so that they seem to be hybrids. You appear to have been tortured and some kind of drug injected into your system. What were they questioning you about?"
Nathan closed his eyes as he tried to remember. "They seemed to think that there was a facility on the base that could alter DNA to make a hybrid appear to be pure bred" he said finally.
Daran's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "That's interesting. Any comment on that Dr. Morduc?"
Morduc, who had seemed happy to be able to help Nathan, was suddenly uncomfortable at being suddenly thrust into the spot light. "I have no idea as to what you mean."
"Really," Daran drawled. "You seemed to recognize the DNA patterns when I showed them to you in the lab. You and your assistant security chief left immediately."
"It...it's...just that such a thing is unheard of here. We could potentially have hundreds of undetectable spies at the station" Morduc stammered. "We don't have the resources or time to test everyone."
"That's not what I'm referring to doctor" Daran said forcefully. "If you didn't recognize the altered DNA patterns, how did you know what they meant so quickly. You didn't even stay long enough to ask."
Morduc looked uncertain for another few seconds, then his features hardened. "I don't need to stand here and be questioned by you, lieutenant. Especially after I have just finished saving one of your crew" he said icily. Morduc tapped a small button on his sleeve and he was immediately transported back to his station.
The sound of a door opening interrupted the quiet of Sickbay. Daran looked over to see an unfamiliar Starfleet officer walk into the centre of the room. "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm the first officer, Commander Reynolds" he said, and sighed as the look of confusion crossed Dr. Keller's face. One of the many that he had seen today. "It's a long story. Report."
Daran nodded. It was obviously something that could wait until later. "Yes sir. Dr. van Breughel will be alright. He has some fairly serious injuries, but should pull through nicely. The purists seem to have some kind of technology that allows them to change the nature of their DNA to make it seem like they are hybrids. Only the most subtle DNA test will pick it up, and I'm not sure, but I think that the Loriens' may have access to similar technology."
<Matt, Nathan, Leo or anyone else who is in Sickbay>

"If they had, wouldn't they have offered it to those aboard the Jefferson to blend in more?" Nathan quipped, "not that I would've accepted. It's immoral to change one's genetics only to fit in. What I find more infuriating is that the purists are willing to kill to get that technology."
He glanced up at Matt. "They were quite ready to kill me," he said, "at least I believe they were. The look on that Cardassian's face was murderous, and the woman looked as though she would sooner dispose of me than be in the same room."
At the mention of the woman, the group fell silent. "What?" he querried as he handed the baby back to Leo. Upon inspection the infant looked healthy. "I will ask around if any of the other new mothers will be willing to nurse him," he told Leo, momentarily distracted from his earleir question, "otherwise we will have to replicate mothermilk, with the necessary nutrients. He will need nutritional supplements as he is not a human child."
Then he shifted his attention back to Daran. "You discovered something about them didn't you?" he asked, as he hugged his son, who now came back demanding some attention. "What did you discover?"

Doctor Van Breughel was safely aboard the Jefferson, along with his two captors one of which seemed to be related to him. Zhukarak thought this over. ~Why not? Anything seemed possible when Q was involved.~
“Ah, I see you are contemplating your demise.”
~Speak of the devil!~ Zhuk thought of one of his favorite human phrases he liked to quote as Q appeared in his Ready Room.
“Q, state your business or get to your next ‘act’.” Zhuk shot back.
“What, can’t a friend just drop in and say ‘Hi’?” Q insisted with a huge smirk upon his face.
“You have placed my ship and my crew into harm’s way. You have thrown us into a future where the Federation has turned unto itself, leaving the unfortunate ones in desperation…to the point that they will even change their own DNA in order to live among those that despise them for a better life.”
“I see someone told you about that.”
“Yes, Captain Galt was kind enough to fill in the details after she heard what happened to our good doctor. She felt responsible, although I hold you fully responsible.” Zhuk rose from his desk to face Q.
“Now-now, Colonel, I simply wanted for you to realize that the goody-two-shoes Federation, as you know it, may not always be as benevolent as you might think. Many great civilizations have perished. Just look at human history…”
“Yes, yes, I understand, but that did not require you to play with us as your personal pawns on a chessboard.” Zhuk turned his back for a moment, keeping his composure as he really would have loved to knock this guy out…if he could.
Q talked on. “The Federation will live for a very long time. How it will live is up to the likes of you. Become complacent, and you just might create what you have seen here.”
Zhuk turned to say something in return when he noticed that Q was no longer in the room. His comm badge chirped and the voice of Matt Reynolds came through.
=/\= Captain, sir…uh…we seem to be back in Section 47 space. We are approximately 8 light years from Starbase Assailant. =/\=
“Understood, no offense Mr. Reynolds but I am surprised to still be hearing your voice.”
=/\= Not as much as I am, sir. =/\=
Zhuk stepped onto the bridge and took a seat in his command chair. He was still contemplating everything they had witnessed… ~Was it real?~ … he wondered.
“Take us home.” Zhuk said to no one in particular as he was still deep in thought.

Colonel Hrisvalar was attending to his duties in his ready room and so Matt was sitting in his place trying to find a way to get back home. It would not be easy though, time travel never was.
"Monica, what is our status?" Matt asked not bothering to look at his long time ops assistant. When he didn't hear a response he noticed that everything on the bridge had stopped.
"Q, what did you do?" Matt asked agitated that he had decided to play his games once more. It seemed that Q was amused by Matt's reaction which just made him angrier.
"Now, now Commander, we all know that I will win in a fist fight," Q chuckled," though I'm sure that you can beat most lower species."
"Look why don't you leave us alone?" Matt asked turning his back to Q. Something that he wouldn't like. Matt looked back to see his Q's response, but he was no longer there. When he turned his head forward again he almost ran into him.
"Now, Commander, I will leave this ship alone," Q said," but I will keep an I on you and your son."
The next thing he knew, he could hear the hum of stations and small talk of the bridge crew.
"Commander, it seems," Monica tried to say not still able to believe what her sensors were saying. Matt immediately realized that Q had just sent the Jefferson back to her time, but he was surprised to know that he was still here. He had expected for Alex and Grace to be standing where he was.
"I know," Matt said before he contacted the captain. =/\= Captain, sir…uh…we seem to be back in Section 47 space. We are approximately 8 light years from Starbase Assailant.=/\=
It was soon comfirmed that they were really back home and the Jefferson soon found herself her way home.
