Validium

[Borusa]

*Borusa leans in and tells Doctor why he is on Avalon.

"As you very well know, Doctor, Gallifrey is at war.  You may also know we are losing."
**
"That musn't concern me- I am not involved."
**
"True.  But we need your help to prevent the war from becoming more than it already is.  We do not have the resources to do the job, but you do."
**
"Whetever it is, I won't help.  It is your war."  The Doctor gets up to leave, but Borusa says a quiet word that makes him sit down again quickly:
**
"Validium..."

[Zack Mannion]

If you excuse me...

*Mannion stunned the 3 persons in the turbolift. When they waked up, they was in another place, lying on some kind of diagnostics bed. Theystood up and looked around when Mannion came in.*

I am terrible sorry for that gentlemens I truly am. But we needed to speak somewhere there no one who not is supposed to hear, hear us. If you just follow me...

*They followed Mannion through many long corridors who was duranium coloured with white lights. The trademark of the Federation. The only thing was, that they didn´t saw a single conventional Star Fleet uniform. In fact, there was not a single uniform at all! The only thin that resembled a uniform was that most of the crew had a black jacket. Some had something that mostly looked like a jump-suit of some kind, but not really anyway. They followed Mannion in to a room that was black, in diffirence to the corridors. It had a big screen like a briefing room, with the classical long, rectangular table. On the screen it was some kind of logo, it was round, white, with a external circle in blue, in the white it stood: FSS, in blue. Mannion sat down at  the end nearest the screen and made a signal to the others to sit down as well, witch they did.*

So, *He started* now we can talk in privacy. Who wants to start?

[Borusa]

*Borusa and the Doctor sit at the table as requested- the Doctor putting his legs on top and leaning back in his chair, while Borusa sits gingerly on the edge of his seat.  At the mention of his name, Borusa turns his scowling face to Mannion.*

"I may have volunteered to be the one to warn this galaxy of the danger of valdium, but I do not have to be subjected to the indignities of your so-called security people."  

He turns to the Doctor and says, "You know what to do.  I have said enough."

*Borusa touches his wrist and fades away before Mannion's astonished eyes.  The Doctor seems to expect this, and merely grimaces at the enormity of the task ahead.*

[Peter Svensson]

"In order to expect others to cooperate, you have to take the first step of cooperation, Zack. Unless you want to achieve nothing."

*walks up to a food replicator*

"Tea, Earl Grey."

*brings the tea to the table and gives everyone a cup*

"I'm sure the admiral will be excused by his people for tea time, won't he?
Anyway, as I was saying, I wanted to talk about the dangers of this substance... what can particularly be done with it?"

[Zack Mannion]

(OFF: Er...?)

[Strider]

*walks up*

Excuse me gentlemen, I am looking for someone. Perhaps you could help?

[Strider]

off: either way, they are gone now.

[Peter Svensson]

"That's what S31 agents do, keep busy.
We should be wearing standard Starfleet uniforms, certainly nothing exceptional that may attract attention to us.  Nor should we get a TOO high rank on there... we have to be average people, just one of many crewmembers on a ship.

Now remains one question left:
WHERE is the Validum located?  And with what REASON can we send the Skytoucher there (to make it seem they go there for some scientific research of something, while we get to do our job)?

[Zack Mannion]

Yes, and Tactical/Security department uniforms should give us reason and authorothy (wrong spelled) to go about wherever we wants.

Where is Jack?

[Borusa]

*Borusa continues...
"As you know, validium was created as the ultimate defense for Gallifrey.  Rassilon decreed that only the President could authorize its use, and no one has mentioned the name validium for centuries.  The greatest weapon known to our civilization, and now it has escaped."
**
"Escaped?  That's impossible!"
**
"It had help."
**
"Who would be so insane as to unleash validium into the universe?!  It should have been destroyed millenium ago."
**
"You did, and it wasn't."
**
"What did you say?"
**
"I said, it wasn't destroyed, and you released it."
**
The Doctor sat back, stunned.  His mouth opened and shut a few times, but no sound came out.
"When?  How?  Why?  Are you sure it was me?"
**
"That is part of the reason I am here: to determine if I should kill you now- or later- for your crimes.  Personally, I think later will be fine.  We need your help to put the genie back in the bottle."
**
"So... I did release validium... oh my...  this makes all these petty wars and territory squabbles pale into nothingness by comparison."
**
Borusa sneers in contempt and waved his arm to indicate everything around him.  "All of this is history to me: it means nothing.  They will fight until the end of time.  The question is: when will that end come?  If you don't help, it may be very soon indeed."

[Doctor]

"Admiral," the Doctor says urgently, "I have some VERY important information for you and the Federation, and we really need to discuss it now."

The Doctor looks at Borusa for confirmation.

[Zack Mannion]

*Just that, when Borusa leaves, Mannion get a boored look on his face.*

What "So-called"? Doctor, can you please tell Borusa that we knows much about the Validium, and that it is only a matter of time before we find it. With yoiur and his help it only goes faster. I am so tired of species that thinks that humans don´t understands nothing.

*He leaned against the Doctor and Nocturnus.*

Just that, who has said that Svensson and I are humans, uh?

*There was a sudden bright light from Mannions eyes, something a human not could do, or a romulan, or a vulcan, not even a founder. It was over in less then a second, but Doctor had really got something to think on.*

I will let you go now, but first I must whipe your memorie of this place. Pete?

[Zack Mannion]

Tea? TEA!? d*mned human... You think with your stumage!

This is not a interrogation, I am ordered to find those who knows something about the Validium and take them here. I can ask for the President to come here too but that would just be a vaste of time.

I brought you here to think about my and my counterparts discresion. But it seems that you are in no mood of co operating.

[Nocturnus]

Off:LOL... dont even bother answering it Mannon, it's a twist of words.

*nods* then we have sum work to do.

[Strider]

I am looking for a Leonid Pushkin. Can you help me?
