Further into Schulman, [[Kael Thomas]] and team worked to keep Cardassian invaders away from the medical clinic by using their ranged combat skills. While their position was quiet, with most of the fighting taking place deeper into the main street, elsewhere the Cardassians had started ground troop infiltration to clean up remaining colonists and any of the Maquis cell that may have still been alive.

Over at the medical clinic, those injured in the first of the bombing raids had been taken down into the emergency shelter beneath. The team, comprising of the two Maquis Doctors, the technician and the engineer, worked to move the remaining wounded toward the RV. With some crew unable to walk and unconscious, they moved up into the main clinic and tried to repair the damaged transporter.

Upon landing, the ''Skarbek'' deployed the ramp to allow those left on foot to enter. However, this was in the middle of the Glin ground force. With little option remaining, [[Ayiana Sevo|Red]] provided the needed distraction by utilizing a large phaser weapon and blasting "Shoot to Thrill", an ancient rock music song by AC/DC in the hopes that the Cardassian forces would be drawn out and fall beneath her fire. | Upon landing, the ''Skarbek'' deployed the ramp to allow those left on foot to enter.

Standing in the shuttle bay with the remains of their colleagues, [[Trellis Vondaryan/Skarbek|Slick]] and team were beginning to run out of ideas on how to escape their minds. Without any purchase hold of the dream state they were in, they relied on their thoughts to try and escape. Collectively thinking together, they found themselves transported again from the shuttle bay, this time appearing in a desolated plain inside a ruined temple. Light streamed through the cracks in the walls and the void of space dropped beneath the cobbled stones on the floor. | Standing in the shuttle bay with the remains of their colleagues, [[Trellis Vondaryan/Skarbek|Slick]] and team were beginning to run out of ideas on how to escape their minds.

Inside '''Arkaria City''', | Inside '''Arkaria City''', the interrogation of the prisoner began. Known only as '''Bondon''', under duress, the Arkarian revealed the overview of the plan and his roll in it to [[Ayiana Sevo/Skarbek|Red]] and team, namely that the aim of the game had been to elicit codes for the Gorkon from [[Quinn Reynolds/Skarbek|Commander Reynolds]] while under the influence of the dream. Ready to escape from the confines of the dream sequence, '''Bondon''' tapped the device on the side of his head that kept him in the dream state, and his body crumpled to the floor. | ||
Within the Shared Psyche, [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] and [[Genkos Sim/Skarbek|Wheels]] delved deeper into their minds, using one another as a telepathic guide. Discovering who they were through poignant flashbacks of their reality and history, the two realized what they were going through was a simulation implanted into their minds, and they now had a grasp on who they were and why they were there. | Within the Shared Psyche, [[Erin Reynolds/Skarbek|Vines]] and [[Genkos Sim/Skarbek|Wheels]] delved deeper into their minds, using one another as a telepathic guide.

Back in the Deflector Maintenance Bay, [[Tasha MacFarlane/Skarbek|Sparks]] and [[Cory Stoyer/Skarbek|Stripper]] tried to get back through the ship to the Bridge, but when heading for the doors, found a large forest stretching out in front of them. Tribbles lined the grassy floor and as they moved toward them, they grew to the size of a small dog, bared their teeth and began leaping for them. Retreating back to the safety of the Maintenance Bay, the two found a stash of weapons behind a wall panel showed by '''Skar''', picking up a Scottish Claymore and a large warhammer.

The crew of the USS Gorkon begin to awaken back on the ship, having been asleep for a few hours at the hands of '''Lladre''' and her criminal crew. Faced with multiple situations of sabotage, alongside adjusting back to their realities as Starfleet Officers, could prove difficult. | The crew of the USS Gorkon begin to awaken back on the ship, having been asleep for a few hours at the hands of '''Lladre''' and her criminal crew.

The pulse generated from Sickbay woke everyone simultaneously from their dream-like state. With the mass awakening now taking place, '''Lladre''' made a swift exit with '''Doctor Ana Mirovan''' and their device that had managed to create the suspended dream sequence and all those who didn't possess a four-lobed brain captured inside it. However, just before beaming off the Bridge, she left behind a device in the centre of the Bridge, with a countdown ticking down. | |||
Coming around to the real world, [[Groznin Smith]], [[Genkos Sim]] and [[Jocelyn Marshall|Jo Marshall]] awoke within Shuttle Bay 2, all on the floor, having fallen asleep while in the midst of conducting an investigation. Dotted around them was equipment for sensor diagnosis, alongside some heavy skid marks and a dented Type-9 shuttlecraft. Without any more to go on than that, they began to investigate what had transpired before they had fallen asleep, and what had caused the crash in the bay. | |||
Across the ship, in the Computing Labs, [[Trellis Vondaryan]], [[Thalas th'Koro]], and [[Samira Neathler]] woke up from their shared dream. Part of the computer lab structure was a smoking ruin, clearly suffering some kind of damage within the last few moments before the neuro-cortical pulse. | |||
Above it all, on the Bridge, [[Ayiana Sevo]], [[Ferier Lanta]], [[Emilia Krugol]], and [[Cory Stoyer]] were waking to the very real and dire situation of dealing with the bomb sitting in the midst of the control centre. Determining the blast radius of the device, they beamed it off into the vastness of space. Throwing the Gorkon into full impulse, they jetted away from it as the countdown concluded, exploding the device in the middle of space, sending a shockwave back across the bow of the Gorkon. | |||
