DAY 98 (fri) cont ...

1435 hours

Kirk shot at the Numiri Combat Bot as it came down the corridor on its four spider-like legs.
It returned fire with a volley of four grenades, one EMP, two frag and one tear gas.

Kirk ducked behind the wall at the stairs then shot again, this time aiming for the grenade
launcher. It was well armoured though and it would take more than one shot so as it opened up
with its twin autoguns he ran up the stairs to warn the others in the main hall.

They didn't have much time to prepare though as it came through the main doors to the hall
which had been left open. As all Starfleet personnel and the Banean spies opened fire on the
Bot the Numiri officers took their opportunity to flee.

Kirk concentrated his fire on the Bot's grenade launcher and took it out of action. It continued
to fire its autoguns and chewed up the furniture a bit, but it was an easy target for the rest
of the crew and it was soon knocked out.

After it was destroyed they gathered together and headed for the door that lead to where
Mioen had said Paterson and Rumbleton were being held.

Kirk tried to bluff his way in but the guards on the other side of the door were not falling
for it. Things went from bad to worse as small flying Scout Bots appeared to kept a watch on them.
Next small rockets came down the corridor, able to turn corners, and started exploding around
them. Under  fire and in danger Kirk used up two clips of phaser ammunition burning a hole in
the door and in they went.

The guards had retreated to where Paterson and Rumbleton were being held. Mieon took her
turn at burning down doors, but unfortunately for her the guards were waiting, crouched
behind two coffers in the room beyond and as soon as they saw her they fired.

Poor Mioen was killed by the two shots that hit her and her body fell to the floor in
a bloodied heap. To the others she was dead, but the shock of it made her spirit leap
out of her body and she began to Astral Project in a ghostly form.

Inside the dungeon chamber, once they had stunned the guards Kirk and his team found Paterson
unharmed but Rumbleton unconscious.

Deciding to leave Rumbleton for now they headed back to the main hall, it was imperative to
get to the shield generator that was somewhere in the complex so that they could beam out.

In a room beyond the main hall as they were trying to get their bearings they were attacked
by two squads of Numiri Special Forces. They managed to knock out two of them as the Numiri charged
into the room, but the others that came behind shot them down like stalks of wheat. Paterson
went down with a nasty wound, the three Banean spies were taken out and Munro was shot dead.
Dell was shot and fell and finally Kirk. Kevek, the last man standing, put up his hands and
surrendered.

Meanwhile the spirit of Mieon had been flitting around in the castle and had luckily come across
the shield generator. An officer, two NCOs and three Numiri soldiers were guarding this area and
one by one she tried to Suggest to them to lower the shields.

It took her several attempts, her powers were weaker now that she was dead, to get a guard to
do as she bid. Eventually much to the surprise of the others one of them went over to the control
panel and hit the emergency shutdown button.

As Kevek was being frisked for weapons by the Special Forces he was amazed to see Kirk suddenly
transported away. He reasoned that if it had been the Aeroshuttle's Kirk Alpha 1 program kicking
in to rescue him then the shields must be down!

'One to beam up!' he said calmly as he tapped his badge and he too was returned to the Aeroshuttle.
Next he beamed up everyone else and the bodies of Munro and Mieon.

Many of the others were dying so he grabbed a first aid kit from the wall and one by one stabilised
them.

Finally he went over to lay Mieon to rest and as he reached down to close her eyes he sensed her
presence. Lightly touching her temples he made contact with her spirit and began to communicate
with her.

Kevek decided to attempt a rare form of mindmeld with Mieon and transfer her Katra (as the Vulcans
call the soul) to himself. It took a few minutes, but he managed to bring Mieon into his own mind.
Time would tell if he would ever come to regret joining such a wild and adventurous spirit to his
own.
