DAY 68 (fri) cont...

Kirk replicated three more drones bringing his total up to five. He also looked through the
shuttles records to see how easy it would be to weaponise them. It was possible but would take
too long. Instead he taped an industrial laser onto each drone alongside the camera. It would
cause a distraction at least and maybe dazzle an enemy if aimed right at his eyes.

He teleported out these Mark IIs out to join their kin over the skies of Schtackburg.

It was about 0400 hours when the drones converged on the street of Obser Varo. They managed
to narrow the Vidiian presence down to one building. No forcefield was detected.

They brought down the drones to a lower altitude and narrowed it down to the middle
three floors of the five floor building. Noxus teleported onto the roof and set up a
transporter enhancer, then scanned for the bomb. He was distracted by sirens below
him though. On hearing this, Kirk landed all the drones on the roof to keep them
safe.

Straining his ears Noxus could hear the sound of voices as people entered the building
from the street below. He scanned them, but they were locals, not Vidiians.

As he continued to scan he heard shouting, then a single gunshot from below. Kirk
teleported a Treebadian disguise kit and then teleported him to the forth floor.

On the landing he met a Treebadian female coming up the stairs. She was stern looking
and wearing a patterned wool jumper. Noxus, his mind racing to come up with ideas, bluffed
that he really needed the toilet.
'I need the toilet!'
'Do you live here?, replied the woman.
'Of course!'
'On this floor?'
'Not on this floor...'
'I'm Detective Stiva. You can't go downstairs just yet, see if one of your neighbours will help.'
Noxus knocked on the nearest door and a little old man let him in. Noxus pretended to go to the
bathroom.

The detective was still there when he returned though. She talked on her radio and Kirk was listening in.
'Suspect won't come out... Says he knows nothing about the drones..'
Kirk decided to break in to their radio and sternly intoned,
'Attention police. This building has a bomb at this level. I have detected it by the use of my drones. There is
another in Vanadis park. The drones are here to aid you in this crisis.'
The detective said,
'Unknown caller, identify yourself!'
'I regret to inform you I cannot. We removed the threat from Hummelgarden and disabled the bomb. I'm only trying
to assist the city and remove the imminent threat.'
'Please leave this frequency!'
'Please accept my help!'
'What help exactly? Please leave this frequency,'

While she was talking to Kirk, Noxus observed her use another electronic device, as if the were sending messages
or looking something up. Next he noticed a look of surprise on her face as she read from the device.
Kirk continued to reveal more of the Vidiian's plot and told her of the nuclear bombs that had been placed
around the city as part of their terror attack.
As she talked she walked down the stairs and she was replaced by another policeman called Heinrich.

More police arrived and went to the door of the Vidiians flat. Noxus and Kirk waited to see what
was going to happen. As people began to look out their doors to see what all the commotion was about
the police kicked their way in.

Kirk moved the drones from the roof and transported Noxus back to the shuttle.
Meanwhile the radio conversation continued,
'Mysterious person. Are you still there?'
Kirk could hear the click of a car door opening and closing.
'Yes'. Kirk went on to tell her about the Vidiians, the Phage and their organ harvesting ways.
'Who are these people? What country are they from?'
'That's not important.'

Noxus checked his gear and Kirk flew the drones to the park. Police helicopters followed them for
a while, but then held back. Scanning the park Noxus detected the residual effects of a forcefield
in the area. The Vidiians had been there recently.

On the radio they heard;
'In position now sir!'
'Stay off this channel!'

Ensign Kirk teleported to the southern most point of the park and approached the area the Vidiians
were in. He threw a dazzle grenade toward the bandstand.
Noxus approached from the west and threw incendiary grenades towards the Vidiian strong point.

Kirk sent in drones and one was shot down. It was hard to see the shadowy figures in the darkness
of the park but the Vidiians were definitely there and returning fire.

Using the cameras of the drones routed through his tricorder Kirk could make out that this area
was a pond with a path that went either side of it to a bandstand around which where placed dozens
of chairs.

Noxus threw another grenade, making a Vidiian run back to a darker location. For some reason known only
to himself Noxus then took off at the spring northwards, perhaps thinking to flank them, but in the
dark he ran headlong into a bush. He then changed his mind and joined the shooting.

Kirk continued to shoot at the Vidiians. It was a tense firefight as each shot gave away his location,
but each time he was shot at he then knew where one of the enemy was. In the end though, he was not enough
to take them all one and when they were both stunned by the Vidiian weapons they transported
back to the shuttle by the automatic return protocol Kirk had programmed previously.

Noxus was the first to regain consciousness. He could hear drilling coming from the side of the shuttle.
Looking out a window he could see that somehow they had come to be on the dockside.

He activated the shields and the people around the craft were pushed away from it. The cardassian then
had a bite to eat and a nice cup of tea.
He opened a channel to outside and talked,
'How may i help you?'
'The bomb goes off in minutes!', yelled back Detective Stiva, 'We killed the Vidiians , but we don't
know what to do with the bomb!'

Grasping the situation Noxus flew the shuttle up over the part and transported the bomb out into
space.

As they left the star system the Vidiian Warship poked its head out from behind a moon and approached
them.
'Stop where you are!', its captain demanded.
'We are the U.S.S Bikini. 0-6-0-6.' replied Kirk and other nonsense.
'Surrender!'

The warship was stronger and better armed than the shuttle, but slower, so they had not much trouble
avoiding it and heading back to Voyager.

DAY 69 (thu)

Ensign Kirk spent most of the return flight, while not asleep, writing his report and working on
his M.A.T.S.E project (the new name for T.I.T.S).

At 0600 hours they arrived at Voyager.

They reported to the med bay for a routine check up. Kirk submitted his Design documents to Torres.
