[GM note - Mieon was brought into the game so MI could play after Captain Akar died.]

Log update:

Mioen was in fact onboard the Aeroshuttle. She had practiced her Astral Projection on an earlier day than
previously mentioned and her communications course was started on route to the numiri planet.

DAY 97 (thu) continued ...

The firefight continued out into the snow covered yard, but the end was inevitable. Akar was shot one more time and
slumped to her feet. As her combat rage left her she died in the blood and snow.

Kirk seeing that his comrade in arms was dead and that he was out numbered by the soldiers in the yard and the
ones coming out of the tavern decided to surrender, the wised course under the circumstances.

While that had all been going on, Ensign Kevek had been doing his best to escape from the truck he was being held
in and managed to over power two of the guards. When Kirk surrendered though he saw the futility of it and also
gave himself up as more soldiers flooded into the yard.

The superior officer on the scene ordered them bundled into the back of a truck and taken to the barracks. Kirk
and Kevek discovered Mioen here also, coming around from a drug that had been given to her to neutralise her
psychic powers.

Before leaving the village though they were taken from the truck and put in the back of an armoured sedan car.
They were sat in the middle seat while the driver and officer sat in the front. Two guards sat in the back seat.
The officer, they learned, was Major Strank and he seemed quite angry with them and looked forward to getting
them back to the barracks. He also took Ensign Kirks comms badge and put it in his pocket.
'We have enjoyed looking over your ship' he taunted, 'It seems you are no more advanced than us!'

A truck of soldiers went ahead of them, slipping along in the snow. The road was cut into a steep mountain side
with a cliff face to their left and a precipitous drop to their right.

Mioen was pretending to be half asleep and still drugged but she was using her mind to probe about and pass
messages to Kirk and Kevek. They all knew that they were about 20 minutes drive away from the barracks and
that their best chance of escape was right now.

While passing messages to Kirk she also realised his mind had metaphorically trampled on with muddy boots and
she came across one of his dreams.

It went thusly:

''
You are in a darkened room. A shadowy figure enters holding a gun. You cannot see their face.
You step backwards in fear and hold your hands up in surrender. The figure pulls the curtains
across the window to their right hand side and shoots!
You slump to the floor and then darkness..
''

That aside, she was set on causing havoc of some kind and after a few rather more dangerous suggestions such
as making the driver veer off the cliff they settled for her mentally suggesting to Strank that they divert
to the air field and the Major ordered the driver to turn right at the junction between the air field and the
barracks.

From the junction it was a further ten minutes up onto a flat area of land between the mountains. When they
arrived there though the officer at the air field check point turned them back again,
'Major Strank, get back the barracks!'

Driving back down the hill, with the truck now in front again Mieon threw her psyche forward and stabbed at the
mind of the truck driver. The truck veered off the road and fell on its side into the snow. The driver of their
car panicked and they swerved and turned completely around in the road.

One of the guards behind them had dropped his gun as they were thrown around and seeing his chance Kirk jumped
over and grabbed it. Meanwhile Kevek used his vulcan nerve pinch on the driver and knocked him out for a moment.
When he came round the driver opened his door and ran off into the snow then dove into a ditch.

Kirk and Mieon having over powered the guards lowered their guns at Major Strank who raised his hands.
They didn't hang about though since they could see soldiers piling out of the over turned truck. Kevek grabbed
the medkit from back of the car and Mioen swiped Strank's coat. They then ran off as fast as they could for the
trees above the air field.

From above the air field they could see that it was surrounded by a tall chain link fence and looked heavily
guarded. As they dove into the snow covered forest and looked over their shoulders they saw a group of soldiers
coming up the hill form the air field, some of them leading canine type animals.

Getting their breath back and wondering what the hell to do next Mieon suddenly had a flash of inspiration and
reached into her coat pocket. It was Kirk's comm badge!

Kirk thankfully took it and managed to make contact with the Aeroshuttle. There were numiri onboard running
intrusive scans on the shuttle and they had managed to stop all Kirk's special transporter programs. He managed
to reboot that part of the system though and skilfully transported all three of them into the shuttle.

There were soldiers and technicians in the cabin and crew area but they took them by surprise. Kirk blew the
brains out of a startled soldier and accidentally shot the science console. Mieon dashed across to the weapons
rack and threw Kirk his favourite phase rifle. The firefight was brief and another officer was killed and
Kirk injured. Kevek grabbed the medkit from the Aeroshuttle and administered a Booster jab to Kirk.
The surviving soldier and technicians surrendered.

The Aeroshuttle was theirs!
