''I must press on the fact that the Section is quite paranoid, and that their tactics on handeling ships that are coming their way are limited to shoot-first-ask-questions-later. They will destroy any ship that comes too close unless they know a ship is supposed to be coming and that that ship has their authorisation to come,'' Andrew carefully explained looking through the room.
Everyone was staring at him. From their suspicious looks he could tell that no one trusted him, and still held him responsible for Thirteen's disappearance.
''Look,'' Andrew sighed, ''I know this is not the time, I know there is no excuse, but still, I owe you all an apology, I owe you more than that.''
''I know you all hold me responsible for the disappearance of lieutenant Thirteen. Please understand that I don't, I haven't obducted him, I haven't murdered him, all I did were follow orders, and they were to have the crew of the Tiger Shark assume that their CTSO was dead.''
''That's my job, that's what I was hired for, yet as the mission progressed it became more and more difficult. I fell in love with the chief science officer, and I found out how friendly you all were to me, and how kindly I was received and treated by all of you.''
''Guilt started building up, yet training of the Section is somewhat like a brainwash, reprogramming the minds of agents before dispatching them on a mission.''
''It was my love for you, J'Leera,'' Andrew said looking at her, ''that made me make up my mind and confess. That's a lousy excuse, and as I said before, there is no excuse for what I have done.''
''But I will do the last thing in my power to help you get lieutenant Thirteen back. That still doesn't make up enough, but at least trust me that I will do whatever I can, eventhough I can imagine how hard it is to believe me.''
A nasty silence took hold of the conference room. Andrew felt his head burning, all faces were pointed at him, and he felt it as if a thousand needles were trying to penetrate his skin. He swallowed, not knowing what to say.

Luke and J'Leera were sitting in silence. Luke felt so utterly useless. His crew-mate, his friend, what must be running through her head?
Luke turned to J'Leera. "I am sure they would not expect you to go." He said to her.
J'Leera sighed, <TAG J'Leera>
"Are you sure thats what you want? Im not trying to persuade you out of it but I am sure we will be talking about him." Luke said.
<TAG J'Leera>
"OK then." Luke said. "We should probably head off now. The meeting will be starting soon.
Before leaving Luke checked Buster's office but saw no sign of him. J'Leera and Luke left the room and headed to the briefing room.
They arrived just as Rye was walking up to the door as well. J'Leera walked through the door however she stopped just inside the room.
<TAG J'Leera>
Luke peered into the room and saw Greenvalley. He squeezed J'Leera's shoulder. He was here for her.
The meeting got underway and Luke listened intently. He wasn't sure what to believe. He hadnt been there during any of the interogation - was Greenvalley telling the truth? Soem of the senior officers seemed to think so.
Greenvalley beagn to speak, Luke was confused. This man was not the same confident Science specialist that had stepped onto the Tiger Shark, maybe he was telling the truth.
He spoke for his love of the Cheif Science Officer and felt J'Leera go tense next to him. He spoke on a little more and then turned to J'Leera.
Luke looked at her. How could he do this to her, in front of evryone? How must she be feeling?
He patted her hand that was on the table they were sitting around. She gazed onwards, as if she was lost in her own thoughts.
Greenvalley continued.
Luke had no idea what to say. The silence was stuffy in the room. What were they going to do? Could they really take on Section 31?

Danny stood up. He felt awkward about what he was about to say, but it needed to be said. "All right, this is something you may least expect, but I think we should trust Greenvalley now. He has abused our trust enormously in the past, but no-one here knows more about Section 31 than he does. We need him." The room fell completely quiet. You could literally hear a pin drop. J'Leera held her breath and Rye put his arm around her to calm her. Wood's eyes tried to penetrate Danny's skull to see what the hell he was up to and Savali just looked incredulous.
After a while, Danny continued. "We're going up against Section 31, which is the most powerful organization in the whole of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, apart from the Cardassian Obsidian Order and the Romulan Tal Shiar. We have no choice, we owe it to Lieutenant Thirteen. This time however, we have Greenvalley. That means we have the advantage." He turned to Greenvalley who was deliberately looking down to avoid J'Leera's penetrating eyes. "Andrew, you said you would help us." Andrew was still looking down. "Look at me Andrew," Danny said a bit more forcefully. Andrew looked up and his eyes met J'Leera's exactly as Danny had planned. "Look at this crew Andrew, look at J'Leera. you have caused all this, you alone are responsible for the pain and sorrows of this crew. If I release you, will you not try to run? WIll you stay and help us retrieve Lieutenant Thirteen no matter what?"
Andrew's face hardened. A determined look appeared in his eyes and his voice sounded firm and strong when he finally spoke. "Yes, I will do anything in my power to retrieve Lieutenant Thirteen." Danny's eyes pierced into Greenvalley's and he saw that Andrew spoke the truth. Before Commander Savali or Commander Wood could say a word, Danny uncuffed Greenvalley. J'Leera looked hopeful. Perhaps Section 31's spell had finally been broken. Danny continued. "In order for this to work, we, as a crew, have to trust Greenvalley again. I know that's difficult but we have no choice. I'm not telling you to like him, that's up to you, but I am telling you to work with him in a team." The crew nodded in reluctant assent.
Andrew heaved a sigh of relief. But at that moment, the Tactical officer on duty came over the comm.
=^=Bridge to Briefing Room, we're approaching the designated coordinates. e.t.a. approximately one hour. =^=
Savali answered the call.
=^=Understood Lieutenant=^=
The atmosphere became more tensed in the Briefing Room. There still was a lot to do before they could even remotely hope to face Section 31, and it had to be done fast. Wood turned to Greenvalley. "All right Andrew, how do we proceed"

As they approached the coordinates of S31 HQ or at least one of their smaller bases as from what he heard of them they were not stupid to keep a single HQ. They most likely did not even have an HQ but worked differently. But that was not something he should worry about now.
He was worried because from what he knew of S31 they could expect superior technology, and most likely even cloaked vessels, not to mention transporters which could easily penetrate their shields. He thought that if they engaged a direct conflict against S31 their chances of coming out as winners and to return Thirteen were very slim.
He hoped Andrew can suggest some way that would prevent blood loss on both sides as technically S31 was also a part of the federation and he hoped would because of that keep from attacking them. However somehow he had a feeling that was not the way itβs going to be.
And there was another chance that Andrew might be leading them into a trap. Yes that was also an option all of this could only be a masquerade, but they had no choice they had to trust him, however Felix thought and said to himself that he is going to keep a close eye on Andrew, as he did not trust him that much after all that happened. And he was certain Danny had the same thought as him, oh yes he was sure Danny was going to keep a good look out on Andrew. But another set of eyes never hurt anybody so it can't be bad for Felix to keep an eye on Andrew as well.
Just while he was thinking of that Andrew started to give out a proposal of how they should proceed and Felix hopped that this was going to work.

OFF: Joint post; Wood / Greenvalley / ...
ON: ''What we need to do in the first place is be lucky. If we have approached two things can happen; either we get blown up right away, or they do try it a bit more subtle. In that case, all systems will fale, only to come online again seconds later, but then the ship will be uncontrollable by any of us, then our faith is in their hands,'' Andrew explained.
"What can there be done against that? Any weaknesses in their defense we can exploit?" Wood asked, somewhat taken aback by Greenvalley's speech and appearent trustworthyness. Greenvalley was just about to answer, when three high bleeps were heard, the comm signal implying on needing to be answered.
=/\= Ensign Valas to Commander Savali. =/\=
=/\= Savali here, go ahead ensign. =/\=
=/\=There is a vessel incoming on warp 2, ETA 3 minutes. It is of unknown configuration and they are not responding to hails. =/\=
=/\= Understood, Savali out. =/\=
"It appears Section 31 is curious to our presence. Meeting adjourned."
All attending officers moved to the bridge, and so did Andrew, though Danny was right behind him. ''On screen ensign,'' Felix ordered as the group entered the bridge.
The screen activated, and a dark grey shuttlecraft was visible. However, it was partly transperant, and there were no visible markings. "It appears to have some kind of stealth technology." Wood said. "It's Section 31 alright, I suggest that you go to Red Alert, mister Savali." Greenvalley confirmed.
''Sir, the craft is slowing down, and coming to a halt. The camouflage seems to fade away. We're being hailed.''
''On screen!'' Felix ordered.
A wave of surprise and astonishment flung itself over the bridge. On the screen the battered, barely recognisable face of Thirteen appeared. He was covered in what appeared to be dirt and stained blood. The Borg implant above his left eye seemed to have been brutally removed, and nothing but blood stains covered it now, his left eye was closed due to an appearant bruise.
''I have returned,'' Thirteen spoke.
Silence covered the bridge, was it really him?
"Welcome back lieutenant, we've missed you," Savali said.
The rest of the crew on the bridge watched in silence and surprise. Tears ran across several faces, and several others were just shocked.
''Permission to deposite my aquired object of transportation in a shuttle bay, sir,'' Thirteen asked.
''More than granted lieutenant,'' Savali said.
"Shuttle bay doors opened." Wood could barely speak of the shock of seeing Thirteen again. "Acknowlegded. Thirteen, you are cleared for landing. Are there any ships in persuit of you?"
''Affirmative,'' Thirteen notified as he manouvred the vessel into the Tiger Sharks shuttle bay.
"Greenvalley, what is the top speed of those ships?" Savali asked. "Warp 9.98 at the most, but it depends on the type." "I'll take the Tactical Station then, lieutenant, please watch mister Greenvalley," Danny ordered the officer at the S/T station.
"Mister Dowding, hard about as soon as Thirteen's shuttle has landed. Maximum possible speed." "Aye sir."
"Rerouting power from secondary systems to propulsion," Wood raised his voice to top the noise that was on the bridge.
''Sir the shuttle is in,'' an ensign informed. ''Your call mister Dowding,'' Felix said.
The face of the ex-Borg had made quite an impression on Andrew, and made him feel more confident about having done the right thing; helping as good as he could.
Without notification the turbolift opened, and Thirteen stepped out, inhaling the air of the familiar bridge of his home, the USS Tiger Shark.
As if the crew had only only one thought, they all welcomed Thirteen back, hastily, because Section 31 was at their tail. Even Greenvalley welcomed the scarred Thirteen. Savali however, looking concerned, ordered Thirteen to go directly to sickbay. "You need to rest, and to heal. Please go."
''As I am not wearing my uniform you have no authorisation over me, and therefore I will remain here and assist as well as my capabilities stretch out. I have been dealing with these anomolies for the past few weeks, and therefore I am in a suitable postition to be of assistance,'' Thirteen stated clearly.
"Of course Thirteen. Anything on sensors?" Savali queried to a queesy J'Leera, who took her station. "Yes Commander, four contacts bearing 301-291, time to intercept is 5 minutes."
Thirteen observed Greenvalley. ''I can not recall your face, who are you?'' the ex-Borg asked approaching Andrew.
''I'm Andrew Greenvalley,'' Andrew said, somehow feeling guilty about Thirteen's physical state.
Something popped into Andrew's mind. ''I have it!'' he exclaimed. The officers on the bridge looked at him.
''I will take the shuttle mister Thirteen managed to obtain, and I'll form a decoy, they will come after me, and you'll all be safe,'' Andrew stated matter-of-factly.
''That is going to get you killed!'' J'Leera heard herself say. ''I don't think so, they don't know me half as well as they think they do, and if I do, then it's for a cause I find worth dying for. I've got you into this mess, now I'm going to get you out, it's the last thing I can do, for all of you,'' Andrew answered sounding determined.
Savali thought for a while, and then nodded. "It is the most logical option. Good luck, Andrew." Greenvalley nodded as well, "Thank you Commander." Greenvalley turned around when he heard Wood calling out. "Andrew. I'm sorry for the lack of trust in the end. If the circumstances were different, we might come along just fine."
''I wish things'd ended in an other way, I wish we had met in an other way. But that's not reality. I considered all of you my friends, and I still do. The words to say how deeply sorry I am about what I did do not exist. I wish you all the very best, you are the finest crew I have ever worked with, and I think there's a great future, for all of you,'' Andrew said, casting one more look at all the officers.
He walked over to J'Leera. ''I can't ask you to forgive me, but do know J'Leera, I meant it when I said that I love you,'' Andrew softly said. His lips touched hers one last time, and then Andrew hustled to the turbolift.
''Fare well,'' he said with a sad smile, having a hard time suppressing the tears that were welling up. Then he was cut off from the bridge by the doors of the lift that'd just closed.
A moment went by where everyone was stunned for the second time. They'd gained and lost a friend. The silence was broken by Wood, who said: "Shuttlebay doors opening." The rest was filled in by the shuttlecraft that flew across the view screen.
''Sir,'' J'Leera began with a shaking voice, ''the four objects stood down their pursuit they're now after Andrew.''
''He was a good man, eventually,'' Felix said, ''alright Luke, get us out of here, set a course for home, make that starbase Bellicose.''
''Understood sir, laying in course,'' Luke said.
''Well mister Thirteen,'' Felix said turning to Thirteen, ''the situation seemed to have lasted shorter than initially thought.''
''Indeed,'' Thirteen confirmed, ''then I will use this occasion to clean myself and to regenerate. I am running on reserve energy and yet the levels are beginning to fail. Certain circuits have already shutdown. I can imagine that everyone would like to hear what exactly occurred to me. Therefore might I suggest that we schedual a meeting in the conference room at 1200 tomorrow?''
''Sounds exelent mister Thirteen,'' Savali said, ''be sure to visit doctor Buster, I think some medical attendance would patch you up.''
''Aye sir,'' Thirteen said. Just before he entered the turbolift Thirteen turned around and saw everyone looking at him.
''As strange as you may find this sounding,'' Thirteen began, ''I believe that I have missed you.'' He nodded as to agreeing with himself, and entered the lift which took him down, enroute to sickbay.

So it was to be like this. Andrew Greenvalley would sacrifice himself for the crew. Danny wasn't happy about it. There must be some other way, a way to preserve his life. But there was no time to discuss it now. Right before Andrew entered the turbolift, Danny managed to whisper in his ear, "Andrew, you've kept your word and redeemed yourself. Now give me a chance to keep my word. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to contact me." The turbolift doors closed and minutes later, the shuttle departed, luring the attackers away.
With the danger gone, the crew had time to realize what had happened. Greenvalley was a friend, a traitor, a friend again. Thirteen had been presumed dead and was back. It was unbelievable. The crew would probably have to recover from this for a long time. Still, Danny joined in the general cheer.
After cruising another five hours at maximum warp, Commander Savali ordered the ship to slow down and set a course for Star Base Bellicose at warp 7. The danger was now past. Commander Savali looked around at the exhausted crew. Especially J'Leera, who was still recovering from her previous Sickbay visit, looked terrible. "I'm going to file my report to Bellicose. They'll be needing it before we arrive. Everyone relax. The ship's fine and there's no immediate threat. Commander Wood, have secondary crews report to the Bridge to relieve the Senior staff. All of you, go to your quarters or.........well, wherever you go when you're not on duty. Commander Laika, report to Sickbay immediately." J'Leera was about to reply that she didn't need to go to Sickbay, but Savali interrupted. "No J'Leera, you look ike hell. Go to Sickbay or I will have Mr LΓΆhnen drag you there." Danny smiled. Now that would be a risky undertaking. Although J'Leera was a science officer, she had proved in the past that she could very well manage herself. Luckily, there was no need of force. J'Leera realized that she indeed needed rest and Rye Fitzpatrick gently guided her to Sickbay. <TAG: Everyone> Also, Tif, this might be a good time to start labour. I'm not saying this is the only moment, it's just a suggestion. You see if you're ready to have X screaming kiddos already - The Next Day - A day later, the Senior staff was assembled on the Bridge again. Thirteen had regenerated and was walking to and fro on the ship. He might not know it, but the emotion of being "homesick" had also teased him during his absence and now, he was unconsciously exploring his familiar surrounding, sniffing up the familiar air and admiring his familiar Tactical console on the Bridge. Danny stood right beside him, assisting him, since Thirteen was still weak from his recent hardships. Doctor Buster had been opposed to him leaving Sickbay, but it had proven wellnigh impossible to keep a Borg in Sickbay. Every time Buster had erected a forcefield to keep him in, Thirteen had simply walked right through it. Although Thirteen would never admit it, one could practically hear him laughing, though his lips never so much as curled. After playing cat and mouse for a few hours, Buster was so sick and tired of the game that he gave Thirteen permission to leave Sickbay.
Commander Savali sat in the Captain's chair, when Wood informed him that there was a priority one transmission from Star Base Bellicose. "On Screen Mr Wood," Savali ordered.
The viewscreen came to life and displayed the cheerful face of Admiral Jack Clark, the Commander of Star Base Bellicose. "Good morning Admiral, what can I do for you?" Admiral Clark smiled. "I've received your report Felix. Quite some heavy turmoil you and your crew've been through." Commander Savali was about to reply, but Admiral Clark raised his hand to prevent it. "Good to see you in one piece Lieutenant Thirteen. How are you feeling?" Thirteen answered in his characteristic way. "I am not capable of feeling as yet Admiral, but I am functioning within acceptable parameters if that is what you mean. Very courteous of you to ask." An even broader smile lit up Admiral Clark's face. "Still your charming old self hmm?" He focused his attention on Commander Savali again. "Anyway Felix, after reading your report, I figured your crew would need a break. You are to set course to the hliday colony of Risa, there to enjoy a well-deserved vacation." The Bridge crew erupted in cheering and shouting thank yous to the Admiral. When the noise died down, he resumed, "Oh and one other thing. Your new commanding officer, Rear-Admiral KezTrek will meet you at Risa. She's an experienced commander and you can learn a lot from her. Happy holiday!" Before anyone could reply, the viewscreen faded to black again. Commander Wood informed Savali that the transmission had ended.
Commander Savali looked around at the expectant faces and turned to the helm. "Well, you heard the Admiral, set a course for Risa and engage at warp 6." He heard the sigh of the crew when they realized it would take a few days to get to Risa. "On second thought, make that warp 9!"

((OOC: Danny im already working on it. I got called away and had to wait to finish rest of the joint post with buster till another time here what we got so far we had hoped to get it posted before you guys finished the storyline but *Shrugs* Oh well)) Buster exited the turbolift and ran towards the brig. He found Tiffani lying on the floor just outside the brigs, in the hallway, being surrounded by two worried crewmembers who were kneeled besides her. Buster ran right towards Tiffani, almost pushing one of the crewmembers out of the way. "What is the matter?" he asked Tiffani. Buster didn't really pay attention to the other two crewmembers, who seemed to be quite willing to explain what had happened, but instead listened if Tiffani was going to reply. *Tiffani was lying on the floor in pain she screamed as another of the contractions kicked in making it unable for her to speak momentarly as she tried to concentrate on relaxing* Buster understood what was happening. "Okay" he said to Tiffani. "Try to relax, can you walk? We are bringing you to sickbay right away". He nodded to the other two crewmembers. "I need your help here" he said to them. "Okay, easy now" Buster said, as he tried to help Tiffani up. "Don't push yet", Buster tried to hurry, though he wanted both Tiffani and the 2 crewmembers to stay calm. *the pain calmed a bit and tiffani attempted to stand* I dont know i think can *she grimmaced in pain abit as she made it to her feet* Get felix *She said as the started there way to sickbay* Buster nodded. "We need to get you to sickbay first, We'll inform Felix as soon as we are there". They walked on, and quickly entered the turbolift. "Okay, relax" Buster said again, loosening his supportive grip on Tiffani. The turbolift went up, though it seemed to go way to slow for Buster's liking. *Tiffani grimmaced as the enter the turbolfit and she felt another pain the contraction seemed to be coming closer and closer together* arrrrgggggh *she yelled in pain as she tried to concentrate on her breathing* Get him Nowww *she screamed as the contraction started to losen up a bit* "Okay" Buster said, and tapped his combadge. =^= Buster to Savali, I know this isn't the best moment, but could you please come to sickbay? I think It's about time. =^= Buster hardly waited for an answer, but knew that Savali must have understood what he ment. <Tag Felix> The doors of the turbolift opened again, and Buster and the other two crewmembers helped Tiffani up again. "Almost there, how are you holding up?" Buster asked, while helping Tiffani out of the turbolift. I need something for the pain *was all tiffani said as the exited the turbolift and made way to sickbay* she grimmaced and gripped the door again as the begin to exit *and i need to push *She grimmaced as thepain sored through her but she tried to focus on her breathing exercises* "We are almost in sickbay" Buster said. And indeed, they stood before sickbay. The door opened and they stumbled in. Buster ran in advance of Tiffani and the other two crewmembers and prepared a bed for Tiffani. As Tiffani and the crewmembers approached, Buster helped Tiffani on the bed. "Okay, I'll give you something for the pain, still try to relax for a little more" Buster said. "We are almost ready to start". OFF: Joint post by Tiffani Savali and MathisBuster - TO be Continued.

*Regeneration cycle complete,* the computer notified. Thirteen sprang to life again. Last day he'd been patched up in sickbay by the attending personnel. He'd been cleaned, and they'd neatly stitched his wounds.
The next morning Thirteen was an hour early for his shift. He examined the bridge, and found everything still looking familiar.
Why exactly everyone cheered when the word 'Risa' fell Thirteen did not understand. Yet Danny'd already figured Thirteen wouldn't, and explained the case. ''In that case, I think I am looking forward to it,'' Thirteen stated.
At 1200 everyone but Buster and mr and mrs Savali had assembled in the conference room, where Thirteen was situated at the head of the table.
''I will start at the beginning,'' Thirteen stated, receiving the full attention of the crew.
''When we were to leave to starbase on the scientific mission, I was detaching my alcove from the temporary quarters there. All of a sudden I found myself being beamed off. The next thing processed by my memory implants is that I were contained in some sort of cell. They filled it with a gaseous substance, yet my internal filter system appeared to be strong enough to deny the presence.''
''Eventually it took them six agents to restrain me and inject a fluid. That caused my conscience to fail.''
''When I regained myself I was found bound to a table. My left eye no longer functioned, and my implant above it had been removed. They spoke an uncomprehendable language as they operate. I think they were trying to find out what kind of systems had been built into my body when I was assimilated.''
''They exposed me to all kinds of substances, to see how I would react and how my body would deal with the attack. For days they didn't regenerate me, to see if certain systems would fail, and if there was somekind of backup system that would take over.''
''When they did allow me to regenerate the configured the frequentie of the alcove differently several times, to see if that affected my systems, and my state of being.''
''I have not managed to save the amount of days, only my main memory system was operational. My brains were too affected by drugs they had distributed to me that they did not function either.''
''I do not know how, but perhaps what they did to me somehow unleashed a sort of 'instinct'. One day I woke up, restrained once more to one of their operation tables. My vision was obscured, very vaguely. Their faces hovered above me. I somehow managed to reroute my energy system to my muscles and I pulled myself off the table. They must have been cought by surprise, and I have to admit that I can not fully recall what I did. I do know that they did not stand up again.''
''I managed to hide in the shadows, that way trying to get somewhere where I could escape. I do not know how, but I managed to bust into a shuttle bay. Their technology seemed alien, once I hacked into one of their vessels. Alarms started blaring, and I randomly tried some commands. That worked, and the shuttle was powered. I managed to get it airborne, and I blasted away the doors of their bay.''
''Their station was heavily weaponed, and it was difficult avoiding being shot. Multiple impacts crippled my right warp engine. Still I have somehow managed to get away, though pursuited by four other vessels. Then I came across the Tiger Shark, and now I am back.
The crew had been listening in amazement. Thirteen's left eye gave him a blurry vision, yet it was recovering.
''I just one to say that I find it a positive occurrance to be back, and to see that you are all in one piece,'' Thirteen stated, receiving several smiles from the attending crewmembers.

After arriving on the Bridge, Luke took his sation, smiling at the Lt. Bower.
He sat down and waited to see what happened with the unknown vessel.
He was just as shocked as everybody else to see Thirteen's face on the viewscreen - however he had obviously been through a lot.
Savali and Thirteen conversed a little before he turned to Luke.
Luke nodded. "Aye Sir." He punched in the coordiantes and awaited the command.
Luke hit the command and the Tiger Shark moved off.
Andrew beagn to speak of his idea of how to save the Tiger Shark. Luke didn't like it, not because he was a fan of Greenvalley's but because he was a living person, a person that J'Leera loved.
Luke looked at J'Leera as Greenvalley left and saw the pain in her eyes. It was unlikely that she would ever find out what happened to him.
Luke couldnt help a little smile - the Tiger Shark and her crew was in need of a little rest and relaxation.
After recieving the order to go get some rest Luke handed helm over to Jeret.
"Its been a long one, hasn't it?" Jeret said.
"It sure has." A weary smile played across Luke's face.
J'Leera had been ordered to Sickbay - he wasn't sure if that was the best option for her. A lot had happened to her in Sickbay.
Arriving on the Bridge the next day the crew recieved a transmission from Admiral Clark informing them of their trip to Risa and where they were to pick up their new CO.
Everybody looked excited and happy that this was coming to an end but for those who had been more deeply affected by all of this, it was only just beginning.
He sat down at the helm and plotted a course for Risa. He eventually needed to return to the Bellicose as he had to get in contact with VA Mc7 of 9. With the course for Risa set Luke got comfortable and awaited the new advenatures for the himself and the Tiger Shark - whatever they may be.
Just as he was getting used to his oild chair again a conference was called about what had happened to Thirteen.
Luke got up and enetered the briefing room, intrigued to what Thirteen might say.

OFF: I know Danny has already posted the new thread, but this one isn't quite over yet This will be the official 'the end post'.. Please post in the new thread from now on, ty.. ON: The whole crew was in shock after the statement Thirteen made. Was Section 31 capable of doing this? Was this allowed by the Federation? Did they even knew about this? "I guess I speak for all of us when I say: Welcome back." Wood said, and the assembld crew nodded. "Furthermore, this WILL be reported to the Federation Council. These sort of happenings must end. Did you come in contact with other obducted citizens?" "Negative," Thirteen replied, "however the complex was elaborate, I have not been able to survey it in totality." The briefing went on, each crewmember expressing feelings on the situation. And it was only interrupted by the call from the bridge that they would be arriving at Risa soon.. And the senior staff left for their quarters, preparing for a much needed shore leave. When coming into his quarters, Wood was not quite sure what to do. He did not feel like packing, and was quite overwhelmed by the events that had so recently taken place, involving and influencing all their lives. It had been three weeks ago he found the body in the maintenance room, and experienced such violent emotions. Slowly Wood walked towards his desk, and picked up the book that had been gathering dust for so long. Being no avid reader, Wood did find it occasionally pleasing and relaxing to read this book. He picked the bundle of poems up, and opened it. "The treacherous shall perish, the old shall fade. Once we all, shall be but particles of dust, en route, the final journey, to the stars..." THE END..
