[Loxians]

Zentox inclines his head thankfully.

"They should be here soon, commander. Thank you."

Then he follows Mr. Robinson down to engineering.

[Loxians]

The Loxian exile ships come about and target all their firepower on the second Loxian government ship, that is suffering damage from the Skytoucher's firepower. Soon that ship too explodes in a million pieces, but not before it has managed to take a few Loxian vessels out of business as well...

[Will Robinson]

Computer : "Yellow Alert, we are at Yellow Alert."

The bridge is filled with a yellow glow.

Will : "Scanning sir."

"I've detected a faint Romulan Signature, approx. 3 light years from here. That's strange, it just now appeared."

[Will Robinson]

"Weapons at stand-by sir."

*The Lieutenant was standing behind his console and watched the captain standing in front of him*

"Captain, may I suggest that we do a ship-wide security check on security systems. We are going to enter Loxian space and don't know what we will encounter there. Maybe battle-drills would also be a wise course of action."

[Vorak]

OFF: in the meantime, you can also familiarize yourself somewhat more with the Loxians.

If you go to this topic:

You" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....6

You will find a full database article on everything currently known on the Loxians. Of course, when this mission is completed I expect a full report so this information can be updated.
Please take your time to read it, it will help you to understand the way their society works, as well as their technology, battle strategy, and territory.

[Vorak]

OFF: could the ship's captain post more frequently please? The captain should be the most active poster of the whole crew, and not only respond - but also lead.

[Roland Burma]

I agree we must do something. But first we should secure our Captain I don't want to beheld responsible for his death. oh.. and will there be any more ships arriving? or is it just the three? I would like to have a good coordination between our ships.

[Roland Burma]

Make it so.

Ms. Seldana Zax prepare to recieve  possible injured.

Hail the Loxian ship

ops: channel open sir

Burma: =^=Burma to Kowan=^= we have beamed our captain aboard, but we have transported the crew aboard for interrogation as well. The Federation will not sit idley by while dozens of people are killed.
you may dowhatever you wish with the ship,but leave these prisoners alone. =^= Skytoucher out=^=

[Vorak]

OFF to Niles:
The USS Skytoucher is ordered to start peace negotiations with the Loxian government. On the way, they get a distress call from a Loxian ship that is apparently exiled by the government, as are many others, because they wanted to fight for their freedom rather than live under the domination of the strict government rule. So they took the captain aboard to explain him the situation, but a Loxian government ship threatened to destroy them, so the USS Skytoucher beamed them aboard to save their lives. But I still recommend you read the whole thing, because it's not a story that can be said in three words lol.

[Loxians]

Kowan: "You can never win this war, Starfleet! There's still a third, fully capable ship of ours ready to take on you! And you've suffered too much damage to be able to withstand another full attack! And your Loxian pirate friends will not be powerful enough to help you!"

At that moment, Zentox steps forward and draws a weapon to Kowan's face.

"They will not destroy this ship, Kowan, because they know that you are on board. Call off your attack, or I will have the pleasure to kill you at last."

Kowan scowls.
"You wouldn't dare! And those Starfleet people wouldn't let you kill me while I'm in a defenseless position! So go ahead, and kill me - and turn your new-won ally into an enemy!"

Zentox stares at Kowan, and keeps his weapon aimed, but does not fire... yet.
"It was you, Kowan... You. You killed my wife with a smile, you took my children away from me... Don't you think I don't recognize the face of the one who raped and murdured my wife in front of my very eyes?"

Kowan smiles amused, and doesn't show one bit of fear.
"Oh I knew you would recognize me, Zentox, as I recognized you from the beginning. I have searched for you my entire life, ever since that day... When me and my ships attacked your ship at first, and I already knew you were on that ship, I would not have let one bit of you alive, I would have finished you when I had the chance!"

Zentox: "It doesnt seem like the odds for another chance are with you any longer, Kowan."

Kowan: "Don't be too sure, Zentox you barbarian! You will pay for what you have done to me! You will pay for the murder of my brother!"

Zentox: "Your brother brought death upon himself! He was after me and my people, and anyone who wanted to live in freedom at that. I had no choice but to kill him, or he would have killed me! What would you have done in my place?"

Kowan spat in Zentox' face, and Zentox strenghtens his grip on his weapon, his face turning red with fury.

"Go ahead and kill me, Zentox! KILL ME! But I am the only one who knows where your children are! I know which new names were given to them, I have access to their secret personal files! Kill me, and you will never know where they are, who they are! Oh, you should see them, two fine youngsters they have become, perfect examples of Loxian society - YOU COULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM THEM! Go on then, kill me!"

Zentox stares at Kowan, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, a control panel beeps, to state that all forcefields around the bridge have been deactivated - the Loxians have gained control over the ship from engineering. The turbolifts doors open, and armed Loxians storm into the bridge, aiming their weapons at anyone. But Zentox does not move.

"Kill any of my people, or of the crew of this ship, and your leader Kowan will die!" he cries out. Immediately, all Loxians come to a halt when they see he is serious.
Then Zentox turns to Kowan, and speaks with a softer tone.
"If I have to sacrifice the one and only chance to ever find my children back, in return for the saving of many lives on board this ship, don't think I wouldn't make that sacrifice, Kowan. At least, then you won't be there to prevent me from finding my children..."

[Skon]

=A= Skon to Sickbay =A=

If the Captain is fit for duty, please ask him to return to the bridge as soon as possible. Commander Burma has fallen ill and we are in a delicate situation.

=A= Skon out. =A=
