(In the Battle Arena, Red forces his bat'leh
down towards Kugo) Red: Argh--!! (Kugo moves out of the way, hacking
the bat'leh with the spinning end of her own modified bat'leh that has
three different sized loose blades) Kugo: Umph! (She flings Red's
bat'leh away from her) Red: ...Interesting combination of
weapons. (Kugo extends her bat'leh forward at Red. The smaller spinning
part of her weapon hooks behind Red and stabs him in the back of his
shoulder) Red: Grgh!! *(The computer acknowledges the session
over) Kugo(steps back): Ha! You can't expect to fight and not get
hurt. Red(rubs his shoulder): I think I'm going to have to check the
manual. That is not a regulation Klingon weapon. (He leaves the Battle
Arena for the day. Kugo hangs her windmills' bat'leh on the wall and
leaves too)
Kugo: Hey wait for me. (She catches up and
walks with Red down the hallways) Red: I must get to the Bridge. Aliens
could attack any minute. Kugo: Yeah right. That never happens. Red:
You never know. **Daniel: Daniel to Red. Report to the Bridge for
possible alien attacks. Red(taps his commbadge): Aye sir.
(He takes a Turbolift to the Bridge taking his
place while a transmission is being brought on screen) Daniel: On
screen. *Cloud: I am on screen. Daniel: Oh. What can I help you with
Admiral? *Cloud: It's about Seifer. I believe that he may be a
spy. Seifer: Nah, I'm not. *Cloud: Oh you're not? Okay my
bad. *(He checks his schedule) *Cloud: I also wanted to give you a
quick mission. You have to go to the Duratra Sector and meet with another
ship. They've got a conversion system I think should be added to the
Phoenix-X. Daniel: Is it dangerous? *Cloud: I don't
know. Daniel(shrugs): I guess we'll take it.
(Kugo enters her Quarters taking off the coat
of her uniform in exhaustion from the fight) Kugo: Ugh... --Computer;
messages...? **Computer: 4 messages... 3 unimportant... 1 more
unimportant. (She enters her washroom and turns on the sink) Kugo:
Trash that 1. Play the other 3. ** *GoyCho(message): Kugo. When you get
in, let me know. We could go to dinner or something. Oh wait, I forgot.
Vulcans don't eat. Nevermind then. Kugo: Yes they do. *
**Gewdeque(next message): Kugo. Hey! Your commbadge was busy, so I thought
I'd leave you message. Oh yeah, I forgot. Vulcans don't listen to
messages. --Wait a sec, now that I think of it... that would be illogical.
Nevermind. (Kugo washes her face with water) ** *Matt(next message):
Hey Kayl, this is Matt. I just wanted to check if my outgoing messages
went to the right persons. Actually, forget it. Gewdeque can fix it.
Nevermind. Kugo: Okay... (She glances at her reflection in the
mirror, just noticing part of her skin peeling on her face) Kugo: What
the...?
(On Starbase 55, Admiral Theseus is flipping
through the crew manifest of the Phoenix-X) Theseus: Hmm. No... nope...
nuh uh... no... (Cloud enters the office) Cloud: I'm done giving the
Phoenix-X their orders to meet that ship. I had no idea we were that good
friends with the Romulans? Theseus: Only an old friend with power,
Senator Cronenza. He does the same thing I do, harbour a secret ship
masked in the public of his people. Cloud: Oh yeah, when are we going
to give the details of the Phoenix-X to the Federation
Council? Theseus: Never. --Guards. Escort Cloud to Sickbay... (Two
guards apprehend Cloud) Cloud: What? Why? No... No!
...Nooo!!!! (Pause) Cloud: Actually, that would be a good idea.
Lately I've been having this flem problem in my throat. Theseus: Oh
that's just disgusting. Go already. (They leave, and Theseus goes over
to his computer to contact Cronenza for some reason)
BOB: I will accept two slips of Latinum if you
want this interesting holodeck program. (Kugo and Lox enter the Trading
Depot, a crowded plaza area on the ship where people can trade and sell
items) Elly: No. Why should I buy a holodeck program when it's so easy
to just make one up on the holodeck? (She leaves) BOB: I never
thought of that. Lox(walks over): BOB the Ferengi dealer and trader?
Didn't you use to have a bar in the Club? BOB: Yeah, but now people are
just getting drinks from the replicator. I'm telling you, sooner or later
we'll all be replaced by technology! Lox: Sure whatever. BOB: Want a
holodeck program? Only two slips of Latinum. Lox: I only have currency
in Seses. Kugo(interrupts): I'm going over to "Amos' Blood Junction",
it's a fast food restaurant.
(She walks over to the service window) Amos:
What can I help you with today? (He shows the panel on the wall with
the Klingon foods menu) Kugo: Yeah, I'll have some blood soup with a
side of gogh. Amos(goes back into the kitchen): Coming right up. (He
accesses the replicator which makes the food right away) Amos(hands her
the plate): Here you go. Kugo: Wow, that's fast food.
(She takes her tray to a table and is about to
sit down) Kugo: Ugh--! (She feels a weakness in her immune system,
and her body begins to morph. Her Vulcan appearance changes into
Romulan) Kugo: Argh!! ...Why is this happening...!? (The people all
around are surprised)
Red: To get to the Avardes Sector, we will have
to twist a Conduit through this nebula in Sector 42-G3. That area of space
is toxic with radiation unhealthy to biological lifeforms. (He points
to the holographic star-chart at the back of the Bridge) Seifer: I
know, I always get a rash when I'm there. Daniel: Yeah a little too
much info, Seifer. Red: That nebula will protect us and be a passage to
the next area of space, which is the Duratra Sector. Daniel:
Understood. Let's hit the slopes. (They get on their way. The Phoenix-X
jumps and speeds fast through space, creating Conduit
structure)
Kugo: Doctor? (Lox takes Kugo out into the
hallway outside the Depot) Lox: You're becoming Romulan. (He scans
her with a medical Tricorder) Kugo: I thought your surgery was
complete? Lox: You can't stay a species you're not forever. Your system
eventually found a way to reconvert your body's DNA back. Kugo: In
english, Doctor! Lox: That was english. Kugo: Oh yeah.
(The Phoenix-X makes its way through the nebula
and drops Transwarp out the other side. They speed across space and
approach the Romulan Starship Caterina) Daniel: You? *Tressa(on
screen): That's right, us... --Wait a minute... You? Daniel:
What? *Tressa: Huh? Daniel: I'm confused. *Tressa: We were
supposed to meet a ship here. Daniel: So were we. *Tressa: I wonder
where they are...? Daniel: Uhhh, maybe we're that ship. *Tressa:
You're scheduled to have the Energy Trans-converter installed? Daniel:
I guess so. What does it do? *Tressa: It's an emergency converter
system that breaks down Torpedoes into power for the ship. Daniel:
Doesn't that waste torpedoes? *Tressa: Yeah that's why it's
emergency. Daniel: Oh... Jeez, somebody out there must be running out
of ideas. *Tressa(checks the computer): Alright, I'll have my
Installation team beam over to your ship right away.
(Later, Armond and Red enter the Briefing Room
just as an encoded subspace transmission is automatically
rerouted) *Wallace: Guys! I'm glad you could make it. Armond: Huh?
Me and Red walked in here just to take a 3-hour early break. *Wallace:
Oh well. I just wanted to warn you about what's been going on. Red: I
knew it. Aliens are about to attack. *Wallace: No. I'm not sure exactly
what's happening, but I heard Theseus asked Cloud to do something
important. Armond: Like what? *Wallace: I'm not sure, I
said! Armond: Oh right. *Wallace: Alls I know is that Theseus is up
to something and it has to do with you guys. Just be careful around those
Romulans. Red(glances over): Perhaps we should speak to Admiral
Cloud? Armond(nods): Agreed. --Bye. (He presses a button on the
screen) *Wallace: Hey that's rude--! (The screen clicks off and they
hail over long-range subspace frequencies. Cloud goes on
screen) *Cloud(busy with reports): Yeah? Red: Admiral, we must speak
to you. What else is Theseus up to? *Cloud: Oh yes, that. Hold on, I'll
get back to you. *(He leaves his desk to talk to an Ensign about
reports. The screen clicks off due to inactivity) Armond: Hey that's
rude. Red: Something is going on, and we have to find out what it
is. Armond: Do we have to? Red: We can wait until after our
break. Armond(nods): Agreed.
(A couple Federation and Romulan officers are
floating outside the ship welding lasers to circuitry panels. The
installation is underway) Matt: I don't like all this floating through
space. I was queasy all through my Starfleet zero-combat
training. Tey(floats over): Really? Matt: Nah, I was just making
conversation.
(Kugo enters Main Engineering. People are
looking at her, uncertain how to approach her because of her Romulan
appearance) Gewdeque: Hey-- uhh, the new Systems are almost complete.
We just have to make sure the Transwarp Field isn't affected. (She
hands Kugo a padd) Kugo: Oh-- uhh, yeah. Thanks.
Definitely... Gewdeque: Is there a problem? Kugo: Ohh, heh, heh...
No of course not... heh, heh... (Kugo takes it and walks away from her,
acting busy) Shane(liquefies): Hey, you look weird. It's like you were
one shape and now another. I've never seen that before. Kugo: Uh
huh...
(The Bridge gets ready to test the Energy
Trans-conversion System) Armond(walks over): Did you guys separate the
energy range frequency not to interfere with any of the other
systems? Kayl: Yes. Armond: Good work. Your efforts have been
noted. (He just stands there) Kayl: ...Noted in your memory or in
the computer? Armond: ...My memory. Kayl: Yeah then that means they
weren't really noted...! Armond(nods): True, true.
(Kayl enters the Captain's Ready room where
Seifer is re-hailing Cloud over subspace) *Cloud: What can I help you
with? Seifer: I've been trying to contact you for hours. *Cloud:
That's weird. For some reason I can't remember where I've been. Seifer:
Tell me the real reason Theseus wants us on this mission. *Cloud: What
mission? Seifer: This mission! *Cloud: Ohhh. That
mission. Seifer: You were about to tell Red and Armond
before. *Cloud: I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking
about. Seifer: Are you just saying that because you think I'm a spy or
do you really not know what I'm talking about? *Cloud(shrugs): I really
don't know. Kayl: He's telling the truth, Commander. Seifer: You can
sense that? Kayl: No, you can just tell from his tone of
voice. (They sit there surprised about that strange fact. They suddenly
have an awkward moment from sitting there too long)
Tressa: Captain. (Daniel and Tressa walk
down the hallways of the Phoenix-X) Tressa: We believe that this new
conversion system is going to work perfectly without any
problems. Daniel(nods): The crew should be testing it out right
now. (Main Power throughout the whole ship suddenly drains out. Main
lights and control panels black out and only backups blink
online) Tressa: What the--? (They're left in the dark) Daniel:
This is what happens when you leave things to my crew.
(Everyone on the ship is in panic, having no
idea what went wrong. Ensign Dan enters Engineering) Ensign Dan: Aahh!!
It's the end of the world! Matt(walks over): Yeah probably. Ensign
Dan: Aaaahh!! Matt: I'm on my way to the Caterina to help compare their
conversion system to ours. That way we could find out where we went
wrong. Ensign Dan: I'll come too. Matt: Aahh!! It's the end of the
world!
(They beam over to the Caterina. Kugo is
already there in command of the away team) Kugo: You will do as I say.
I give the orders around here! Matt(nods): Okay. Kugo: I'm taking my
long break. You can have command if you want.
(She leaves the Caterina's Engineering feeling
out of place with her crew. She's suddenly pulled into another room by
some guy) Kugo: Hey! Heif: Sshhh!! There's a secret message for
you. Kugo: There is? Heif: Yes. What, do you think I do not know a
secret message when I see one? Kugo: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend
you. (Heif clicks the screen on in this hidden room. Kugo is left alone
with a subspace transmission from Romulus)
*Vanitrox: Greetings, Kugo. Kugo: I thank
you for those greetings. *Vanitrox: I appreciate your
appreciation. Kugo: What do you want already? *Vanitrox: I come with
warning. They… want you dead. Kugo: Who are they? *Vanitrox: When I
said They, I really meant Cronenza. Kugo: I don't even know who that
is. Who are you? *Vanitrox: I am with the Tal Shiar. We know that on
this mission there are Romulans not working for us who are going to kill
you. Kugo: I see. Why is that? *Vanitrox: Because of what you are
and your past! Don't you see? You're a Romulan living on a Federation
Starship! Kugo: Oh yeah, I forgot. …Why are you helping
me? *Vanitrox: The Tal Shiar are not as evil as most people think.
…Take our advice; watch your back… get out of there!!
(The screen clicks off and Kugo is left
surprised. She walks out into the hallways where Shane walks with
her) Shane: I'm shape-shifted as one of you guys so the crew on this
ship won't get suspicious. Kugo: Heh, heh… that's nice… (They pass
Romulan crewmember after Romulan crewmember) Shane: What's the matter
Kugo? You don't seem yourself today. (Kugo starts to recognize some of
the crewmembers as they pass) Tey(nods): … (Kugo waits until Tey
passes to pull Shane to the side) Shane: Huh? Kugo: Oh my God! That
was Tey. Shane: Do you need someone to talk to? Kugo: Tey isn't part
of their crew... He's an assassin! Shane: Are you having emotional
problems? Kugo: Argh!! Never mind you idiot.
(Daniel enters the Bridge of the Phoenix-X just
as they're hailing Starbase 55) *Theseus: Ah, the crew of the
Phoenix-X; I love each and every one of you. Seifer: Cut the crap,
Theseus. What's really going on here? *Theseus: Well I got one of those
Bajoran scented candles in my office and I'm starting to get high off
it. Daniel: That's not what we're talking about. *Theseus: Ah,
right... those pesky rumours. I assure you, nothing is going
on. Seifer(cracks his knuckles): I don't believe him Captain. Let's
beat him up... Daniel: He's two-hundred Lightyears away. *Theseus: I
ask the both of you to remain focused on this Installation. Our undercover
relations with the Romulans are very good right now. Seifer(shrugs):
...One of them looked at me and I kind of punched him in the
face. *Theseus: You idiot!! Anyways, how goes the
Installation? Daniel: Ah, well we lost power to the main systems and
are slowly getting them back online. Lieutenant Kugo should be on top of
things right about now.
(Armond is in Engineering at work) Kortos:
We were able to get communications online, but we still cannot even get
main lights on. Armond: Let's concentrate on the more critical systems
like Shields and Propulsion. Who is supposed to be in command
here?-- Gewdeque: Commander! We've got a coolant leak in the warp
engine room!
(All the team runs to it in emergency. Kugo
enters while everyone's gone, accessing a computer to reschedule her work
hours) **Computer: Only officers with level 4 or higher clearance may
alter the work sched-- (She uses a code to get past it) **Computer:
Acknowledged. Schedule changes saved.
(Kugo leaves Engineering making her way through
the dark Phoenix-X, passing person after person including many Romulan
officers from the other ship) Kugo: Open bay doors; Authorization
Kugo-98-Beta-3-X. (The computer acknowledges and the doors to the
Weapons Storage Bay open for her. She enters and draws a Klingon mek'leth
blade off the wall) Kugo: ... (She looks around the cluttered room
picking a cloaking suit off a hangar. Not hesitant, she puts it on, and
then activates its cloaking field, rendering her invisible...)
*Daniel: There was an energy surge that
overloaded the warp engine. (The team on the Caterina is
contacted) Matt: I ran a simulation on my Armlet to test out any more
potential problems. *Daniel: ...And? Matt(checks): It says, Battery
Power Low. …hmm... *Daniel: Does the Caterina's conversion system have
a trans-subsonic filter? Matt: Yeah, why? *Daniel: Well there's one
lying around on the floor here. I tripped over it!! Matt: Oh yeah I
knew we forgot something.
(Tey speaks to Billy in the Phoenix-X's
transporter room) Billy: Shouldn't you be's at work? Tey:
Yes. (While Billy's being distracted, a Romulan beams in sneaking in a
disrupter gun) Fen(hides it behind his back): I am to work on
Lieutenant Kugo's team. Billy(glances over): Alright, sir's. (Fen
steps off the transporter pad and leaves the room. He walks down the dark
hallways, already with knowledge of the ship's architecture)
Kugo: ... (The present hallway seems to be
empty. Fen stops walking and glances around feeling as if he wasn't
alone) Fen: Hello? (No answer) Fen(loads his disruptor): ...Must
be my imagination. (Kugo is invisible and walks up behind him, grabbing
his forehead back and using the mek'leth to slice his throat) Fen:
Aaughh~hh~!!!~!!!!…
(The screen is activated on the
Bridge) Daniel: We have completed the installation. *Mocca:
Including the trans-subsonic filter? Daniel: Yeah, I mean it's not like
we really forgot it. (He avoids eye contact) *Mocca: Superb. Now it
is just a matter of cleaning up and getting our people back to our
ships. Daniel: You and I both know we looked at each other's secret
databases during all this time. *Mocca(confused): We never did
that. Daniel: Oh-- uhh, just forget what I just said. (He avoids eye
contact again) *Mocca: Anyways, I hope you will enjoy the fun-ness of
this very exciting piece of technology and that it brings the joy and
happiness into your lives that it has to ours. Daniel:
Thanks. (Pause) *Mocca: … *(He starts to look nervous as if he
just lied about something. Daniel notices) Daniel: …Hey! You never even
tested out this conversion system before! *Mocca: Aahh!! *(He hides
under his computer) Daniel: All this time installing when you don't
even know how it works. *Mocca: Yeah that's pretty much it. Daniel:
How do you expect your technology to advance if you don't risk testing it
out? *Mocca: Look we're too paranoid to do all that. What if the ship
exploded? I'd lose my mp3 collection!! Daniel: Who cares!? I want to
know if this system works. I'm going to run a test at 04:00
hours.
(Matt enters Engineering where he meets up with
Kayl) Kayl: The Captian has requested that we begin testing the
converter. Matt: Understood. We can use it to bring power to the
remaining other systems that are offline. Kayl: Hey that's actually a
good ide--- I mean, of course; that's what we were going to do. (Matt
just looks at her)
Gewdeque: Has anyone seen Kugo? (Gewdeque
approaches Armond just as he's about to leave Engineering) Armond: No.
I haven't seen her lately. Gewdeque: Hmm… that's weird. Armond: Yes…
it is…. Hmmm… Hhmmm…… (He looks away in deep thought) Gewdeque: Are
you undergoing some kind of constipation? Armond(stops):
No…!
(Tey meets two more Romulans in Kugo's
Quarters) Lonv(takes out his disrupter): I just want to kill her and
get over it already. Ina: Scanners said she was in here. Tey: Wait
here for her. (He leaves in impatience) Lonv: This is the longest
assassination attempt ever. Where is she? Ina: … (Ina's eyes wander
and she catches a visual distortion of space behind the couch. She aims
her disrupter) Ina: There… (She fires at it, but it ducks out of the
way and a control panel blows apart) Lonv: She's cloaked!! (Kugo,
still invisible, grabs Ina from behind. Ina elbows, but Kugo pulls Ina's
head back and then flips her over, dropping Ina to the floor) Lonv:
Argh, die!! (He fires like crazy, uncertain where Kugo is) Ina: Stop
you fool! (He continues firing as Kugo grabs his arm and aims his
firing at Ina) Ina: Nnnoooo!! (Ina is vapourized on the
spot) Lonv: Aarrgghh!!! (He feels Kugo's breath behind him and turns
around, grabbing her invisible arm before she attacks with the
mek'leth) Kugo: Uh! (Lonv knees her in the side, and grabs for
Kugo's weapon, pulling it and tearing her suit. The skirmish tosses the
mek'leth away out of the suit's cloaking field) Kugo: Argh! (Kugo's
suit malfunctions rendering different parts of her visible) Lonv: Ha ha
ha! (Kugo punches right-cross Lonv's face, knocking him off
balance) Lonv: Uff--! (He fires his disrupter as Kugo dodges the
laser forward, extending her arm fast and grabbing the disrupter. They
both hold it struggling until it's fired through the window) Kugo:
Argh! …Shields and primary life support aren't online! (Items
throughout the entire quarters are blown out, smashing the window into
pieces, as Kugo leaps for her door. She grabs the side and pulls herself
safely into the hallway) Lonv: AAaaaaaahhh!!!! (Kugo watches as the
doors are closing, Lonv being blown out through the window into
space)
Armond: Get ready to be blown away… (A bunch
of people stand around a quantum torpedo in the torpedo bay) Kayl: You
mean that figuratively, right? Armond(unsure): I think so… (Lasers
connected from the launch hatch and the torpedo begin to light up as the
torpedo is being broken down) GoyCho: I spent 4 hours putting that
torpedo together! Armond: Sshhh!
(The Caterina hovers a little away from the
Phoenix-X) Mocca: Uhhh, we'll just go here for no reason. *(The
Phoenix-X powers up; lights from windows all over it flicker on and the
four nacelles illuminate) *Daniel: See? Nothing went wrong. Mocca:
Oh yeah? Well about that window on your left side that's blown
out? *Daniel: Look. I implied that we could get the system online; I
never said no windows wouldn't be blown out.
(Seifer accompanies Captian Tressa on their way
to the transporter room) Seifer: Well I hope you've enjoyed your stay
here on the Phoenix-X. Tressa: I keep telling you, I
haven't! Seifer: Oh. Anyways, I'm glad we were able to get that
converter online... like we'd be stupid enough to use it. Tressa: What
did you say? Seifer: I said... with all the stuff it does, we couldn't
refuse it. Tressa(nods): Definitely. Technology is amazing nowadays….
Even though you keep getting it from other species. Seifer: Hey, this
is the only time we've got technology from you. Tressa: This is the
second time. The first time was 4 years back when Theseus requested a
Quad-Neural Pathogen. Seifer: Really? Tressa: It increased his
Doctor's abilities for the Mind Erasing technique. Seifer: Are you sure
it wasn't a new kind of viagra? Tressa: Definitely. If I were you, I'd
make sure I knew what my boss was really up to. (She glances at him as
he thinks about the use of the mind erasing technique) Seifer:
…Cloud.
(They suddenly run into a group of people
surrounding a dead body in the hall. Lox takes a look at the body that is
Fen) Gewdeque: What happened? Lox: He's dead. Seifer: We can see
that. Tressa(kneels down): He's not one of my people. Lox: But he's
Romulan. Kortos: Puh! He is a stowaway. Tressa: Stowaways, from my
ship? Lox: Someone had to have killed this man. (He examines the cut
wound across Fen's neck) Lox: …Klingon Mek'leth or D'k Tahg. Yeltso:
Who could've done this?
(The Captain is interrupted on the
Bridge) **Ensign Dan: Ensign Dan to the Captain. Daniel(taps his
commbadge): I can't believe I wasted my energy on tapping my commbadge for
you. **Ensign Dan: …There's something you should see here.
(Daniel is summoned to make his way 13 decks
down to Kugo's Living Quarters where a crowd of people are around the
force-fielded doorway looking inside at the mess) Kugo(walks over): I
can't believe my Quarters blew out. Daniel: That's the problem. (He
points out the hole regenerating in her quarters at two cold Romulan
bodies floating in space…) Ensign Dan: Romulans… I hate
Romulans! Kugo: What? (She punches him in the face) Ensign Dan:
Owe! My precious face! Daniel: We have a killer on board the
ship. Ensign Dan: There was also a body found on deck 4 with a mek'leth
cut to his throat. Daniel: That's it. I want a full investigation!
Interrogate every possible suspect possible! Ensign Dan: Who should I
interrogate first? Daniel: Uuhmm..... that guy. (He points to a
random person walking by) Amos: Hey!
(The trial begins in the Phoenix-X's Court
Room) BOB: All rise. Court is in session. Ensign Dan(paces): Mr.
Red… did you or did you not kill those three Romulans!? (Red is in the
interrogation chair and suddenly points at someone else) Red: No! It
was Kugo! She's the one who has been acting weird lately! Shane: I
object! Kugo: … Ensign Dan: It's her! I knew it! BOB:
Over-ruled. Shane: No!! Lieutenant Kugo's just been insecure about her
sudden change. It's understandable for her social diffusion to be a little
rough at first. Red(shrugs): I guess that makes sense. BOB:
Sustained. This Court is dismissed.
(The Caterina turns around and heads away from
the Phoenix-X) *Tressa: Be sure to give our boss's regard to your boss,
Theseus. Daniel: No. They can do it themselves. (The screen clicks
off. Seifer accesses long-range communications) Daniel: Oh no! You're
rebelling against us again! Seifer: I'm just contacting Admiral
Cloud. (The screen is re-activated) *Cloud: I'm being advised to
keep communications with you low, because of Section 31's nosing
around. Seifer: Admiral, Theseus has been erasing your memory to keep
his secrets after you do work for him. *Cloud: Heh! Yeah right. I'm
always doing work for him. Just last week I did work under his request and
I was supposed to……. Ummm…. *(He thinks about it) *Cloud: Oh who
cares! Daniel: Admiral Cloud, this is very disturbing. You have
meetings with the Federation High Council all the time, and Theseus must
use you also for the ranking power in other parts of the fleet. *Cloud:
I am not a victim of conspiracy. Seifer: Would you consider yourself a
victim of fashion? Daniel: Seifer! *Cloud: Listen. If you insist,
I'll be a little more cautious. --Cloud out.
(Everyone leaves the small Courtroom to get
back to their posts) Shane: That was fast. Kugo: That and we don't
know the rules of court. Matt(walks over): What's the verdict? Kugo:
…Not guilty. Matt: I heard they used holographic representations of
dwarfs for the jury. Shane: Yeah, we were tied between smurfs or
chipmunks.
(Matt and Shane leave. Kugo is left alone to
think about her cover story) BOB(walks by): So you were lighting
Bajoran scented candles in the cloaking device room while all the killings
were going on, eh? I've gotta try that. Kugo: …
(She feels guilty for lying to her friends and
catches up to anyone) Matt: Huh? Kugo: Lieutenant! …I have a
confession. Matt: We know about the smurfs. Kugo: No…. I killed
those Romulans. (He thinks about it) Matt: You did? Kugo: They
were here to assassinate me for leaving them a long time ago. Matt: So
you're the killer? Kugo: Yes. I had no choice! Hit Mans Rule number 1;
take them out before they take you out... Matt: You're gonna get the
court-marshaled for this. Kugo: I understand, but I doubt it'll be that
harsh considering we're on the Phoenix-X and I was doing it out of
self-defence. Matt: Wait here. I'm going to get the Captain.
(He makes his way to the Bridge where Armond
and Kayl are at a console at the back) Kayl: It looks like we got most
of the systems online. Armond: Even this Ship-Wide Species
Identification system. It usually doesn't work. Kayl: What does it
do? Armond: It can count the number of species on the ship. See, let's
try.... Kayl: Romulan! Armond: Okay. There should only be 1;
Kugo. Kayl: Computer, count the number of Romulans on
board. **Computer: There are 2 Romulans remaining on the
Phoenix-X. (They sit there thinking about it) Armond: That's not
right.
(Kugo is bored and re-enters the empty
Courtroom. She is about to turn on the lights) Kugo: Computer,
ligh-- Tey: --Aarrghh!! (Kugo dodges his attack from behind and
turns around to look at him) Kugo: Huh? (She can't find him anywhere
because Tey is invisible) Tey: Heh, heh, heh. Kugo: You're
cloaked. (Tey fires his disrupter, as Kugo leans to the side dodging
it) Kugo: Ugh! (She grabs a chair with her foot and flings it off
the floor at him) Tey: ... (The laser from his disrupter is shot out
of mid air, vapourizing the chair) Kugo: Kugo to security... (She
doesn't have time to talk as Tey fires again, missing her and blasting a
wreak in the wall) **Elly: Lieutenant? (Kugo makes a run for it out
the Courtroom and turning down the hall)
Kugo: Computer, activate life-support
console. (A command screen lights up on the side in the hallway and she
accesses the ship's lighting systems) Kugo: Turn on Transparent Light;
authorization Kugo-98-Beta-3-X. (Tey is behind her and he suddenly
becomes visible as a white ghost) Tey: Huh? (He fires at Kugo but
Kugo dodges and the panel explodes. Kugo avoids the explosion and enters
the next room which is the Transporter Room)
Kugo: Billy, beam me to anywhere else on the
ship. (Billy is confused) Billy: Where? Kugo(gets on the padd):
Anywhere! (The Tey ghost enters just as Kugo is being beamed
out) Tey: Argh!! (He fires at Billy, who just dives behind the
computer frame, as Kugo is de-materializing out) Tey(accesses the
transporter control): Computer!
(Kugo re-materializes in Sickbay where the
Doctor is with a patient) Lox: Lieutenant? Kugo(sarcastic): Oh this
helps. (She grabs a vile of volatile acid off the shelf as Tey is
beaming in) Tey: Argh! (He is about to fire when Kugo tosses the
vile at him, which shatters on his disrupter. He drops his weapon) Lox:
Computer, erect a level 10 force-field arou-- (Tey punches Lox in the
stomach and pushes him over the medical bed) Lox: Ooff!! (Kugo grabs
Tey from behind and spins him around to kick him in the side of the
head) Tey: Uh! (He grabs her leg before it hits him, as she leaps
off her other leg and uses that one to knee him on the other side of his
head, twisting around to above him and kicking him to the ground. Kugo
lands on her feet as Tey hits the floor in pain) Tey: Arghh!!!
(Kugo makes a run for it in search of a weapon.
She runs down the hallways and Tey leaves Sickbay too after her) Kugo:
...Who told you to have me killed? (Tey activates a control panel on
the side of the wall and accesses life support easily) Tey: ...Heh,
heh. Someone... on your side. (He takes gravity off on that deck,
making the two of them float) Tey: Now you can't run. (He turns on
the propulsion tubes on the sides of his boots to speed over to
Kugo) Kugo: I don't have to run. (She flips in full circles, kicking
him up his chin. He goes flying back until he stops himself) Tey:
Haha! (Kugo pushes herself off the wall down the next
hallway)
Tey: You know, you used to be one of us,
Kugo. (Kugo goes to a control panel while Tey picks up a heavy cargo
box off the floor and uses his propulsion boots to boost the box's
momentum towards her) Kugo: Uh! (She flips over box, but a part it
cuts her shoulder. Blood spills out in floating blobs everywhere) Kugo:
Aaarggh! Tey: Heh, heh... Excellent. (She grabs her arm in pain,
still accessing the control panel) Tey: What are you doing? (The box
finally hits the wall down the hallway, blocking the Turbolift. Kugo
re-activates most of the gravity grid and they both fall to the
floor) Kugo: ... (The box makes a big sound and her blood splats.
Kugo jets into the Battle Arena)
Tey(follows in): What is this place? (Kugo
prepares to fight him) Kugo: Let's do this. Fairly. Tey: One thing
about assassinations... (He uses this time to unwrap a hidden disrupter
behind his shin pad) Tey(aims it at her): They are not meant to be
fair. (He fires it at her, just cutting the shoulder of her
uniform) Kugo: Ugh!! (He fires again, but she collapses her legs and
rolls forward to him, swinging her foot around to trip him) Tey:
Uh! (He leaps it and kicks her in the face; Kugo falls onto her back in
the centre of the arena)
Tey: Now you'll finally die... (She gathers
her energy and rolls to the side, dodging another laser) Tey: Don't you
ever get tired!? (Kugo gets up, grabbing her Windmills' Bat'leh off the
wall) Tey: What is that? (She swings it around tactically, and
flings the spinning end of it to his disrupter. The pointy end grabs the
weapon and flings it across the room) Tey: You're not the only one with
ideas.
(He notices a control panel on the wall and
runs to it) Kugo: What are you doing? (He activates three
holographic Narsican fighters)
Red: Kugo! (Red enters the Battle Arena in
time) Kugo: Red, cover me! Red: Computer, de-activate
holograms. **Computer: Unable to comply. Tey: Yeah, I rule at
computer hacking.
(Narsican 1 approaches Kugo, kicking for her
face. Kugo leans back, dodging it, and then grabbing his foot and spinning
to the side, taking the Narsican to the ground. She breaks its leg and it
disappears) Tey: Ha! Ha! Ha!
(Red grabs for the disrupter, but Tey back
kicks Red twice on the side and then the head. Red steps back and charges
at him to tackle, but Tey leaps and knees him in the face and still in
mid-air, kicks him across, sending Red flying into the wall) Tey: The
gravity must still be weak.
(Kugo jump flips over Narsican 2 and kicks it
in the back of its head while in mid air. She lands to her feet as it hits
the floor. Kugo spins her windmills bat'leh around and stab it in its
back, and it disappears)
Red: Arrgghh... You do not want to make me
mad. (He picks a bat'leh off the wall and swings it to Tey's neck. Tey
leans back to get away, but it keeps going and cuts across the chest of
his ghosted suit) Tey: Ah!!
(Narsican 3 goes to attack Kugo, but Kugo spins
around to behind him and grabs around his shoulder and side. Kugo flips
over, still holding, the Narsican, and flips the Narsican over her,
tossing it to the floor. The Narsican disappears on level of
pain) Kugo: Gotcha.
(Tey rolls along the floor to his disrupter and
picks it up. It is partially malfunctioning)
Red: Kugo, watch out! Lox(enters with a
medical kit): Is anyone dead yet?
(Tey fires and the disrupter as it spurts out a
few weak lasers at Kugo. Kugo throws the windmills bat'leh tactically at
Tey, but Tey dodges and Kugo is hit. She falls to her knees almost
vapourizing)
Red: Got it. (Red catches the windmills
bat'leh and swings it overhead and its moving parts around to Tey. Tey
tries to dodge it and fire at Kugo again but is stabbed through the
heart) Tey: Aauhhgg!!!
(Lox runs over to Kugo and puts a hypospray to
her) Lox: This'll stop the molecule breakdown of the
disrupter. Kugo: Ughh... Thanks. (Elly and the rest of security
finally arrives) Lox: Oh there you are. You just happen to arrive after
all the action. Elly: How is Kugo? Lox: She'll be okay. (He puts
another hypo-spray to Kugo as security cleans up the dead body of
Tey)
Red(walks over): ... Kugo: Ugh... It is
possible Theseus had my death ordered through Cloud and the
Romulans... Red: ... (She tries to sit up) Kugo: I didn't
think anyone would come for me... because, you know. Red: Just because
you're Romulan doesn't mean we still won't come to save your
life. Kugo: Thanks. Red: ...This does come in handy. (He hangs
the windmills bat'leth on the wall and leaves the Arena. More security
arrives to take care of things)
