DAY 97 (thu) cont ..

2300 hours

Kirk was shown to his new home, a prison cell on board the Numiri destroyer by a female numiri
who introduced herself as Captain Kenk.

The cells were former airlocks, or something like that, and had entrance doors, but also airlocks
on the other side that when opened, vented the poor prisoner inside out into space.

There was also a vid screen and this buzzed into life and Kenk spoke to him.
'Let me demonstrate how these rooms work.', she said, then the screen changed view to show Wijy Kone
and Yona Hoom together in a similar cell.
A red light flashed and the airlock swept open. Yona managed one single anguished scream before
she and Wijy were blown out into space and certain death.
'We'll deal with you soon enough.' said Kenk as she took Kirk's comms badge from him.
'Er.. what time is dinner?' asked Kirk as his stomach rumbled.

DAY 97 (fri)

0400 hours

Kirk was woken from his fitful dreams by the ship suddenly lurching as if it had been struck by
something. The an even bigger movement went as far as warping the walls of the room he was in.
Simultaneously the Anti-Gravity went off, a panel popped open and a spool of wire unwound into
the cell. A 'pshhhh' noise from somewhere signaled the escape of air.

His mind racing, Kirk took some 20 metres of wire and tied one end around his wrist and the other
end around the bolted down leg of the cell's bed.

Wondering what to do next his attention was drawn to the flickering of the vid screen. It showed the
cell that had recently held the two Banean agents, its cell door open and the airlock door half
off its hinges. A plan started to form in Kirk's mind but it would be a gamble on how far away the other
cell actually was.

Looking at the airlock door of his own cell he found a small red handle tucked away in the door frame
that looked very much like a manual release.

He could tell he was running out of air anyway so he took a few big deep breaths then expelled all the
air from his lungs and opened the air lock. He wafted out into space on the escaping air and grabbed onto
a handle on the side of the ship. Looking frantically around he spotted the open airlock just two
doors away and clambered across to it.

With his lungs burning he pulled himself bodily into the open cell and through the open door. At the
other side he pressed the close button and the door closed enough to let Kirk breath again. He did so,
huge lungfulls of blessed air.

He wasn't out of danger yet though. There was no gravity, there was smoke everywhere and only emergency
lighting to see by. Kirk pulled himself into a nearby cabin where he met a numiri who was getting ready
to escape. The grappled for the only phase pistol in the cabin and after a desperate struggle Kirk knocked
him out and claimed the gun.

From there he made his way down several more corridors and encountered more numiri personnel which he shot
at and killed. Eventually he turned up in a local command centre where the numiri were bringing on line an
AI they had captured from another alien race.

The AI seemed to go berserk though and its physical avatar grabbed a weapon and started shooting them up.
Kirk saw this and stayed out of its way. When he found his way into a side area of the command area he
came across Crewman Paterson, who was the prisoner of Captain Kenk. Kirk got a few good shots in on
Kenk who then fled and summoned some armoured guards to cover her retreat. With luck, Kirk spotted his
coms badge on a console so he grabbed it.

Kirk and Paterson made there way back to the cells where they started to change into the armour of
some slain numiri guards, but the rogue AI followed them and the ongoing chaotic firefight found its
way to them. A single numiri crewman was calling in reinforcements all the time but eventually he
was discovered and dispatched as he lurked around in the cabins.

The AI seemed to see them as non threatening though and it signaled and said that it wanted to find
and secure its Core, which was being held in the Captain's personal shuttle craft. It also introduced
itself as 'James Adam'.

Sensing that this might be a way off the destroyer Kirk decided to follow the AI. Before they did
that though Kirk released Crewman Dell from the cell next to his and he joined the escape party.
They went down some more corridors and discovered the semiconscious Kevek and brought him along
with them.
They continued past the local command centre and came to a large airlock.
Gaining entrance to the rear of the shuttle they shot down two of the guards and made their way
to the cockpit. This shuttle was a lot larger than the Aeroshuttle and in its centre, the engineering
area, the AI Core was situated. Captain Kenk was in the cockpit and frantically trying to undock from the
destroyer but Kirk got to her first and shot her in the ensuing fire fight.

With everyone on board they launched the Captain's shuttle and sped as fast as they could from the destroyer
as it was dying in a series of explosions. Working out how to operate the sensors they soon saw that a
decent sized space battle was in full swing. The Banean's had ducked in under the Missile Defence System
to get a few shots off at the Numiri, disabling some of their ships. The fighting then continued on the
very edge of the System, the Banean's trying to take pot shots from a safe distance. Faster, smaller attack
craft ducked and weaved between the larger ships and incoming missiles.
Kirk spotted Voyager cruising with the main body of the Banean attack force and plotted a course towards it,
making sure to inform everyone in the area that this Numiri craft was now under Starfleet control.

0645 hours they arrived and fell into position with Voyager.
