Validium

[Doctor]

*The Doctor rises from his chair quickly and holds up his hands.*

"Wait.  Wait, wait, wait, wait..."  He looks at Borusa grimly and says, "Don't be so judgmental.  This man may be just the fellow we need.  If he is who he says he is."
 
Turning to the surprised Mannion the Doctor smiles and says, "So, would you like to have a seat and tell us who you are and how we can help you?  As you  have obviously been listening to part of our conversation, I feel it is only fair that we exchange notes, don't you think?"

[Nocturnus]

*walks up behind mannon* overhearing the last few sentences*

OH REALLY Mr Mannon.  shall we take a small walk to my office mm?

Excuse me gentlemen *nods head*

[Zack Mannion]

Terrorists, uh...?

*Zack Mannion stands up.*

And, you don´t know dick about us, so don´t start to tell us what we are capable of using. And, I´ll show you terrorists, "doctor"!

*Mannion walks to Doctoprs seat and throws him of the chair to the floor, grabs his collar and drags him, sitting through some corridors with the admiral and agent Svensson right behind. When they comes in to a room, he lifts doctor up with the hand who held him in the collor.*

Now look doctor: this is terrorists!

*There was many persons Doctor knew as dangerous for the univers, too many...*

Now, I caught half of this guys by myself, and then this is not one of FSS prisons. THEY are stocked to the limit! Now, I could throw you in there too, but I doupt you would live half a day in there so listen! We will find and stop the Validium with or without your help. As a mattar of fact, we know where it is, and we have send some agents to stop and destroy it.

*Suddenly, his eyes became black, and his voice became much deeper.*

There is only a matter of time, so, all help is needed. But don´t think we can´t find and destroy it ourselfes! I don´t give a #### about Borusas "fancy techniques". I LEARNED THEM AS A CADETT FOR THIS PLACE! Now, help us, or get most of your memory whiped clean, that is for you two, "admiral"...

[Zack Mannion]

Mr. Docotor. This is not an interrigation. If it was an interrigation... Well, I am not allowed to tell too much but I tell you that you wouldn´t feel so good after one of our interrigation.

You may not use our own communications.

Pete, are your comp ready? Otherwhise I can use the HQ own system.

[Romar]

(Off: If S31 is watching FSS and FSS watchin S31 .. who's watching the watchers from getting ideas :P )

[Zack Mannion]

Why not?

[Zack Mannion]

We are about to locate it.

[Peter Svensson]

"My PADD data here tells me that the doctor is to be assigned to the USS Skytoucher as soon as the ship arrived at this station.
And the ship is here, so they might try to be contacting you right now, doctor, asking where you are.
Maybe admiral Nocturnus, you could order the Skytoucher ship to whatever location we can find of the Validum.  Nobody on the ship needs to know, but the doctor wont raise suspicions by not being where he should be, and we can be assigned as crewmembers "undercover".  All we do is put on a different uniform (off: that means, temporary taking another avatar until we're no longer undercover).
That way, we stay discreet, we have a powerful ship at our disposal, dont raise suspicions and we get the job done as well.
What do you say about my plan?

[Borusa]

*Borusa sidles over to a comms booth and ducks inside.

Borusa: "Computer?"
Computer: "Hello!  May I help you?"
Borusa: "Yes.  Send a private message to the Doctor for me."
Computer: "Please specify which doctor to whom you would like to send a message.  Do you need medical assistance?"
Borusa: "No I don't need a doctor, you antiquated adding machine.  I need the Doctor.  He's aboard this station, I've traced him here.  He's part of your crew, I believe, working for the Terrans."
Computer: "Please wait while I search for the Doctor."
************************
Computer: "There is a medical doctor whose name is Doctor, is this the person to whom you want to send a message?
Borusa: "Yes, yes, that's him.  Are you ready to record my message?"
Computer: "Whenever you are ready, sir."
Borusa: "Right.  Doctor, when you get this message, meet me in the... Computer, inset the name of this area to my message.  Sign off the message with the words 'an old friend from home.'"
Computer: "Shall I send your message, sir?"
Borusa: "Yes, and do it quickly."

[Zack Mannion]

I don´t give a d*mn what it is called. I just know that I and some other has been sent here to the backyard of the galaxy to stop this Validium. Belive me, Mr. Borusa, I may be young in your terms, but I am d*mn experienced. Belive me when I tells you that. Ever heard of Section 31? I am not in there, but I represent a group similar to them.

[Borusa]

*Borusa actually smiles at Mannion's words.*

"Doctor, doesn't he remind you of Koschei?  Such spirit.  Perhaps he is just who you need to help you- he seems to have more discipline in his words than you do in your whole body."

The Doctor rolls his eyes at this last comment.  Borusa was entitled to his opinions, and nothing he could say would change those opinions anyway.  Besides, Borusa was right, it was a good idea to have someone like Mannion along.  No doubt this situation would turn ugly, and the Doctor hated carrying weapons...

[Zack Mannion]

*His eyes and voice returned to normal*

Ehum... That was fun, wasen´t it Pete?

[Doctor]

*Straightens his collar and dusts down his outfit.*

"What is this, then: Good Cop and Bad Cop?  Hardly original.  No offense, but I've been interrogated by far nastier methods.  Mind probes, duress, torture... face it, you guys need a new routine."

*Mannion seems ready to pummel the Doctor, but waits as the Doctor holds up a hand and continues.*

"However, as the admiral suggests, I think that if we put our differences aside, we can more quickly achieve our goals.  Perhaps you could offer us contact with our respective people and some light refreshment?  I can't speak for the admiral, but your anesthetic left me a little parched.  Besides, I'm sure the admiral and I will be missed before very long, and I doubt everyone will take kindly to the notion that you are in any way holding us as prisoners.  Perhaps, as your 'invited guests,' we can use your communications to check in with our people?"

[Zack Mannion]

That is whywe are on this too admiral. To prevent the S 31 to get any ideas. Just as they are here to prevent FSS to get any ideas.

[Doctor]

Okay, let me establish, for all of us here, just what is known about this validium.  It is an ancient and terrible weapon made for planetary defense.  It is a living metal, capable of detonating stars into supernova or changing the flow of electrons in a single atom.  It is controlled by two means: 1. It is isomorphic, so it only obeys one master at any time.  2. It needs to be close to whole in order to function, which means it has a critical mass threshold of @ 95%.

Validium is alive, and is a very smart weapon, but it is above having a conscience and is a power in it's own right.

Needless to say, we must pinpoint it's location and render it either inoperative or inaccessible.  I can suggest a few ways of doing this, but I want to locate it first.  And I have a plan on how to do it quickly.  If we can agree to work together.
