And so Ensign Kirk and Madame Swankee got down to business over the 10kg of chilli powder.

Soon Mieon was bored though and wondered back into the bazaar. She noticed that quiet a few heads turned
to follow her, but no one was aggressive. The market was busy, filled with mainly Babi-Ijo traders and
races from other nearby systems. There were Kazon and Norlot guards and plenty of robots going about
their business.

As she ventured deeper into the bazaar she noticed she was being followed by a black robed figure.
She sat on the next bench that she found and beckoned the figure over.

The fellow seemed to be prepared to talk and introduced himself as Huntuw but would not show his face.
When she used her suggestive powers to get him to reveal himself he pulled the hood back just far enough
to show he was hideously disfigured, his face a patchwork of skin.

'My race are afflicted with a dreadful phage my dear, we travel far and wide in search of a possible
cure. Races we don't know about greatly fascinate us. I wonder if I could take a blood sample from you?'
'No!', yelped Mieon.
'Would you come back to our starship?'
'No!', she repeated. But she did ask if he knew anything about shield systems and he said his race
of people had some fine shields they could sell her in exchange for samples.

He took her to a nearby place to eat. She ordered something vegetarian, thinking that it would be
harder to posion or drug and he told her more about his race. They were know as vidiians, he was
a Honatta, a sort of servant, and his master was a vidiian called Yvante.
She told him a little about the federation then asked,
'Why are you so scared of Yvante?'
'Scared? Not at all. He is a wise and noble master. A great artist among our people. Would you come
and meet him in our hotel?'
She said no, but agreed to meet him on neutral open ground so they took a taxi to the one only green
area on the moon, the hydroponics gardens.

On a bench Yvante waited for them. Another robed figure, he greet them, 'Pleased to meet you!'.

Mieon decided to contact Kirk at this point and when she told him she was meeting with some vidiians
he yelled at her, 'Get out of there!'

As she started to make her excuses to leave they took out their Vidiian Harvesters and stunned her.

....

She woke some time later in a small room, on what felt like a starship of some kind, lying on a hospital
bed. The room was dark and gloomy and cluttered with medical equipment. A dull fug of smoke filled the
air.
A gurgle drew her attention to a body on a bed on the other side of the room. Here lay a Kazon, wired into
several machines with all sorts of tubes sticking into his body. She tried to wake him, but all he could
do was flick his eyes open a little and point at the door.

Mieon went and looked at the door. There was a keypad there and it did not look too complicated. Using
her wide experience of poking her finger at computers she managed to open the door. In the next, equally
dull, gloomy and dirty room she found another hospital bed with an alien tied down to it.

She released him and he took a test tube stand from one of the lab desks in this room. Mieon armed herself
with a microscope, planning to use the base as a bludgeon.

There were two more doors here and she tried the lower one, which lead into the ships cockpit. There were
two seats, a central console and a (currently blank) viewscreen. Around the sides of the cabin were other
consoles. At one of them was a vidiian, clutching a wound in his side and frantically punching buttons on
it. Mieon rushed in to attack.

The vidiian trapped her in the viewscreen end though by raising a forcefield, but he was neatly skewered
on the end of the alien's test tube stand when he came charging in. The vidiian made to flee and from
the other room, pursued by the alien. Mieon then heard a series of crashes followed by a spludging sound
of something heavy landing on something meaty.

She smashed away at a console next to her, but it wasn't until the alien came in and hit buttons randomly
on another console that the forcefield was lifted.

Using her powers of console poking she brought the viewscreen to life. It showed the interior of the
hangar, but a small boxed out area showed another vidiian (that looked like Yvante) frantically cutting up
another member of the aliens race and stuffing the pieces into a cool box. The alien cried in despair and
made to go get revenge, handing the Vidiian Harvester to Mieon.

Not really knowing what the thing was, or how to operate it, she pointed it at the corpse of the vidiian
and pressed some buttons. Somehow she managed to teleport its reproductive organs across the room where they
hit the wall at a reasonable velocity with a messy splat.
Finding she couldn't repeat this feat, she dropped the device.

The left hand door, the one she hadn't tried yet, did not yield to finger poking though and they took
some bottles from the lab and threw them at it. None of them were acid though, as Mieon had hoped.

Next she picked up an electric meter of some description and stuck its probes into the keypad. She set
the device to maximum, which did indeed open the door, but gave her a nasty shock.

The next chamber was similar to the last and a cupboard held all of her stuff, so she retrieved her
phaser, comms badge and grenades. The next chamber was the largest yet, a sort of cold storage area for bodies and
bits of bodies. The other vidiian was here, but seeing them enter, fled into another room.

He spoke to them through a coms port on the door telling them to 'Just get out!'. Mieon wanted revenge though
and tried to open the door.
Suddenly a forcefield surrounded them. Mieon used her powers of fascination on the vidiian but then the alien
(translated via the comms badge now) pointed out to her,
'We are running out of air!'

Mieon released the fascination and the forcefield dropped. Next the larger doors to her right started opening,
revealing a cargo bay below. Beyond that light was coming in from the hangar through open cargo door. The
vidiian was inviting them to leave.

Mieon decided that this was a good idea, but before she left, she shot up the door then threw grenades into the lab.
As they left the ship she threw more grenades into the cargo bay.

With alarms going off everywhere they were scooped up by an approaching security detail. A guard robot called
'Officer 6-ZYT' took them to the shipyard guard booth.

During their interview with the guards here she learned that the alien was from the planet Treebad and was called
Vanoost. He was confused and scared, seemingly from a planet without warp technology and not aware that their
was life beyond his own planet.

When she'd used her charms to secure her release, he asked if he could come with her, so she took him back to
the AS where she met up with Kirk.

Ensign Kirk told her that after he'd realised she'd been taken by vidiians he'd hunted out their ship and
even managed to wing one of them with a phaser shot. The comm badge had not given her location until she'd
left the vidiian ship and he'd deemed it sensible not to beam her out of police custody, but had kept a lock
on her just incase.

Vanoost went for a lie down. He looked pretty exhausted. Crewman Rumbleton gave him the once over and reported
back that the treebadian was ok apart from the loss of one of his kidneys.
